Just turned the game on to see none other than Johnny Gomes catching a fly ball in left field. What in the world is going on???
Where is Heisey? Why not Lewis against a right hander tonight. I just can't understand Dusty's thinking.
Just turned the game on to see none other than Johnny Gomes catching a fly ball in left field. What in the world is going on???
Where is Heisey? Why not Lewis against a right hander tonight. I just can't understand Dusty's thinking.
If I were Jocketty, I'd fire Dusty. This is ridiculous.
Righthander on the mound. Start Fred Lewis and atleast try and give us an advantage.
Gomes has one at-bat against Zambrano for his career.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Gomes just looked like a little leaguer who has never seen a breaking ball before. Pitchers should never throw a fastball to Gomes. Or at least never throw one in the strike zone because he'll swing at everything now. Hope Dusty was watching that last at bat.
I know we've heard enough from Dusty's philosophy of managing that he probably played Gomes tonight in order to show faith in him, hopefully he'll get a hit off a tough right hander and gain his confidence back.
But why Dusty? Why do we need Gomes to get his confidence back? I'd rather Heisey get a chance to grow. I'd rather Lewis get regular at bats so he can build his confidence and reach his career norms. Gomes was done last year!
Still not convinced. Horrible call by the Cubs catcher after Gomes swung and missed at the breaking ball the pitch before. (Good hit though Johnny!)
Not a huge fan of Gomes, but it's interesting no one posts anything when he does something good - like hitting a two-run home run - this by no means indicates that Gomes should start every game or Gomes should be an All-Star - I just continue to be amazed at the continued negativity - and nitpicking of every play, player, decision, etc concerning what is a very good baseball team that is fun to watch.
Gomes hits a home run - silence - Gomes strikes out - everybody and their brother's sister's cousin wants him benched, DFA'd or demoted. Amazing.
Heisey's numbers when he starts are nowhere close to his career splits though. Seems like he is more productive in the PH role
That doesn't mean he won't get anymore starts though, eventually he'll hit out of his slump and get back to the .250 hitter (or whatever he is) that will knock in some runs.
More often than not it's always the negative not the positive. I realize that society has moved this way - I just don't want to be a part of it.
I always thought what mattered most was the win - not the every little nit-picky negative that happened.

Federal and State Tax Examinations at an All-time High
Every time I turn around one of my clients is receiving an audit notice. Federal and state audits seem to be at an all time high. The crux of these audits is the Federal and state governments trying to increase revenues but there should be some threshold in selecting taxpayers to examine. An interesting observation is that there seems to be no particular rhyme or reason to the selection. I recently represented a client whose C corporation was audited. They were a very small entity that actually went out of business in 2008. The assessment was small but left me wondering why them. State audits also seem to be coming out the woodworks. I have quite a few clients that file in multiple states and they too are getting audited for immaterial amounts and issues. The state audits seem to take a tremendous amount of time to wrap up because the states are short staffed and once they leave your office, it takes months to schedule a return visit. The government agencies are hurting for money, the auditors case loads are astronomical and clients are strapped for cash, it's a no win situation. Currently I have clients being audited by the IRS,

I'm using the jScrollPane jQuery plugin (http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com) to implement custom scrollbar in my application.
However, I need to be able to modify the height of the jspDrag element. It seems that the height of the element is dependent on the amount of content inside the div. However, I want to use an image (which needs to be fixed size i.e non-repeatable) for jspDrag and the image is going to be very small (lesser in height than the actual jspDrag element).
How do i accomplish this ?

Rasmussen wins stage nine; Voigt in yellow
Updated: July 11, 2005, 4:41 PM ETAssociated Press
MULHOUSE, France -- Lance Armstrong is content to let someone else wear the yellow jersey at the Tour de France -- for now.
He surrendered the overall lead in the ninth stage Sunday, taking the pressure off his team as the Alps await and challenges with key rivals could begin in earnest.
Armstrong's ultimate goal, however, remains unchanged: a seventh straight title at the finish in Paris on July 24 before he retires.
"We don't need the yellow jersey," said Armstrong, ...

CTA looks for the closest safe table, using some particular distance. In this talk we provide empirical results to assess the disclosure risk of the method. A set of 33 instances from the literature and four different attacker scenarios are considered. The result s show that, unless the attacker has good information about the original table, CTA has low disclosure risk. This talk summarizes results reported in the paper "Castro, J. (2013).

The purpose of this work is to develop optimization-based procedures to randomly generate networks with structural constraints, within the probabilistic framework of conditional uniform models. Based on the characterization of families of networks by means of systems of linear constraints, polynomialtime methods to generate networks with specified structural properties are constructed. 2013-10-15T08:57:03Z The impact of commercial quality on electricity consumer satisfaction http://hdl.handle.net/2117/19561 Title: The impact of commercial quality on electricity consumer satisfaction Authors: Cruz Zambrano, Miguel; Corchero García, Cristina Abstract: Quality of supply has been one of the main aspects covered by the European Energy Policy in the last decades together with the competitiveness and the sustainability. Several regulatory actions have been taken in this regard and have been applied at European level. Most of Energy National Regulatory Agencies have implemented electricity distribution network retribution mechanisms based on the quality of supply provided by the companies responsible for that. These measures were mainly based on the technical quality: number and length of service interruptions. However, electricity consumer satisfaction has not been measured for checking how commercial quality is affecting it. In this working paper, technical and commercial quality of supply indicators for household electricity consumers in Spain are assessed together by means of an statistic model. The impact of commercial quality will allow us to identify possible policy recommendations to be implemented in the regulatory framework. 2013-06-18T08:27:48Z Optimal electricity market bidding strategies considering emission allowances http://hdl.handle.net/2117/18691 Title: Optimal electricity market bidding strategies considering emission allowances Authors: Corchero García, Cristina; Heredia, F.-Javier (Francisco Javier); Cifuentes, Julián Abstract: There are many factors that influence the day-ahead market bidding strategies of a GenCo in the current energy market framework. In this work we study the influence of both the allowances and emission reduction plan and the in- corporation of the derivatives medium-term commitments in the optimal generation bidding strategy to the day-ahead electricity market. Two different technologies have been considered: the coal thermal units, high-emission technology, and the combined cycle gas turbine units, low-emission technology. The operational characteristics of both kinds of units are modeled in detail. We deal with this problem in the framework of the Iberian Electricity Market and the Spanish National Emissions and Allocation Plans. The economic implications for a GenCo of including the environmental restrictions of these National Plans are analyzed 2013-04-08T10:54:18Z Optimal sizing of microgrids: a fast charging station case http://hdl.handle.net/2117/18369 Title: Optimal sizing of microgrids: a fast charging station case Authors: Corchero García, Cristina; Cruz Zambrano, Miguel; Heredia, F.-Javier (Francisco Javier); Cairo Molins, Josep Ignasi; Igualada Gonzalez, Lucia; Romero Ortega, Aitor Abstract: In this work we focus on the optimal design of electric vehicle charging stations. We consider investment, operational costs, physical constraints and different electricity pricing strategies. The size of the various components in the microgrid architecture and the suitability of the storage system are analysed. The electric vehicle charging demand is modelled through a queuing system. 2013-03-18T13:03:39Z Nonlinear network flows with side constraints applied to short term hydrothermal coordination of electricity generation http://hdl.handle.net/2117/17774 Title: Nonlinear network flows with side constraints applied to short term hydrothermal coordination of electricity generation Authors: Heredia, F.-Javier (Francisco Javier); Nabona Francisco, Narcís 2013-02-14T18:09:53Z Present and future research on controlled tabular adjustment http://hdl.handle.net/2117/17410 Title: Present and future research on controlled tabular adjustment Authors: Castro Pérez, Jordi; González Alastrué, José Antonio Abstract: Controlled tabular adjustment (CTA) can be classi ed within the group of approaches that perturb output data (i.e., tabular data), unlike other methods that focus on the original microdata. Being a post-tabular data perturbation technique it becomes easier to guarantee consistency and quality of the released information (e.g., table additivity, preservation of subtotal or total cells of the original table, etc.). On the other hand, it may be computationally more costly than pre-tabular strategies. The purpose of this work is twofold. First, we will review a recently used heuristic to suboptimally solve CTA (which is a mixed integer linear optimization problem). For some tables this heuristic provided decent solutions much faster than other state-of-the-art optimization methods. This approach can be useful when CTA is applied to a pre-de ned "static" set of tables. The second goal of the paper is to provide and discuss variants of CTA when applied in an on-line table generation system. In this case, tables can be dynamically generated over time, and CTA has to face two new challenges: (i) it has to deliver an on-line fast solution; (ii) protection senses of sensitive cells have to be consistent (i.e, the same) when the same sensitive cell appears in two (or more) tables which are generated and protected at di erent moments. Some of these ideas will be implemented in the recently started Data without Boundaries FP7 EU project. 2013-01-17T17:57:13Z Rounding methods for protecting EU-aggregates http://hdl.handle.net/2117/15925 Title: Rounding methods for protecting EU-aggregates Authors: Giessing, Sarah; Hundepool, Anco; Castro Pérez, Jordi Abstract: In the European Statistical System the statistical information is collected by the National Statistical Institutes (NSIs). The NSIs produce aggregate tables at the national level. They are also responsible for proper protection of these tables and hence they have to keep certain cells confidential, suppressing them from publications. Eurostat produces statistical information at the EU-level. However, the national suppressions hamper very much the publication of EU-aggregates although it is often only a few smaller countries having to keep their contribution to the EU-total confidential. This paper reports on a research-project that aims for making more EU aggregates available whilst at the same time guaranteeing the national suppressed figures to remain confidential. 2012-05-24T18:30:50Z Network model of short-term optimal hydrothermal power flow with security constraints http://hdl.handle.net/2117/14936 Title: Network model of short-term optimal hydrothermal power flow with security constraints Authors: Chiva, A; Heredia, F.-Javier (Francisco Javier); Nabona Francisco, Narcís Abstract: Optimizing the thermal production of electricity in the short term in an integrated system when a thermal unit commitment has been decided means coordinationg hydro and thermal generation costs over the time period under study. Fundamental constraints to be satisfied are the covering of each hourly load and satisfaction os spinning reserve requeriments and transmission capacity limits. A nonlinear network flow model with side constraints whit no decomposition into hysro and thermal subproblems was used to solve the hydrothermal scheduling.

Computational results are reported. 2012-02-03T18:53:46Z Efficient solution of optimal multimarket electricity bid models http://hdl.handle.net/2117/14587 Title: Efficient solution of optimal multimarket electricity bid models Authors: Corchero García, Cristina; Heredia, F.-Javier (Francisco Javier); Mijangos Fernández, Eugenio Abstract: Short-term electricity market is made up of a sequence of markets, that is, it is a multimarket enviroment. In the case of the Iberian Energy Market the sequence of major short-term electricity markets are the day-ahead market, the ancillary service market or secondary reserve market (henceforth reserve market), and a set of six intraday markets. Generation Companies (GenCos) that participate in the electricity market could increase their benefits by jointly optimizing their participation in this sequence of electricity markets. This work proposes a stochastic programming model that gives the GenCo the optimal bidding strategy for the day-ahead market (DAM), which considers the benefits and costs of participating in the subsequent markets and which includes both physical futures contracts and bilateral contracts. 2012-01-17T08:48:27Z Non experimental evaluation of a computer assisted tool http://hdl.handle.net/2117/11203 Title: Non experimental evaluation of a computer assisted tool Authors: Cobo Valeri, Erik; González Alastrué, José Antonio; Muñoz Gracia, María del Pilar; Dieguez, José Manuel; Piñeiro, Martiño Abstract: E-status is a web-based tool designed to improve learning in statistics introductory courses.

Describimos nuestra experiencia en una asignatura perteneciente a un plan de estudios anterior, pero donde en su última edición hemos ensayado algunas iniciativas para estimular el trabajo activo del alumno. Una de las propuestas ha consistido en organizar cooperativamente el diseño de un estudio para comparar las velocidades observada y contratada de la conexión doméstica a internet. Básicamente, en un foro de la intranet de la facultad de informática, profesores y alumnos han diseñado la recogida de la información. Los datos obtenidos (p.ej.: la velocidad real está un 20% por debajo de la contratada) han alimentado el interés y la discusión crítica de los alumnos. El ejercicio, voluntario y sin repercusión en la calificación por esta vez, ha logrado un grado de implicación notable entre el alumnado, y merece ser repetido en cursos posteriores. 2010-09-20T11:15:44Z E-status: a web tool for learning by doing exercises http://hdl.handle.net/2117/8691 Title: E-status: a web tool for learning by doing exercises Authors: González Alastrué, José Antonio; Muñoz Gracia, María del Pilar Abstract: The paper introduces the project led by a team of teachers to assist students learn statistics. The goal is to build a tool able to present mathematical problems and to correct the students´ answers. The problems may include random data, so the solution cannot be previously known (if solved before) and the student can reconsider it if necessary. Pedagogical implications are commented, since the method can be effective on the basic and middle domains of learning, as well as on higher levels, specially if careful design of the problems is applied. 2010-08-30T12:19:44Z

As long as nations have held competing interests, they have sought information about one another's plans and capabilities. Trying to learn the secrets of a country, whether enemy or ally, follows logically from the belief that knowledge is power, and obtaining a vital piece of intelligence can make a critical difference in world affairs. Although espionage, or spying, for political purposes is thought to have first emerged during the French Revolution, it wasn't until the end the 19th century that states created permanent intelligence bureaus. Systematic spying helped the Japanese defeat Russia in 1904-05. It began to take on greater importance during World War I, as Germany targeted France and the U.S., gleaning information and sabotaging war efforts. The German spies in France often disguised themselves as trade representatives, teachers, and agricultural and domestic workers. The most famous of the accused agents was Mata Hari, a dancer in Paris whom the French eventually executed. Espionage played a critical role in World War II, with some intelligence coups, particularly by Britain against Germany, as crucial as victories in major battles. In the U.S., the catastrophic intelligence failure leading to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor stimulated the postwar growth of a large intelligence system. During the war, the Office of Strategic Service (OSS) was created to gather international intelligence and hopefully prevent a similar future disaster. In 1947, the OSS was replaced by the Central Intelligence Agency, which focused on international espionage. The portrayal of spying in popular culture relates mainly to the postwar years, especially the Cold War. To many in the intelligence community, the Cold War represented a golden age of spying because it was clear who was friend or foe, and both sides followed certain ground rules. The CIA spies matched wits with those from their Soviet counterpart, the KGB, in countries around the world. On U.S. soil, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) focused primarily on crime but nonetheless also handled counterintelligence and the detection and exposure of spies. Today, the age of clear threats has given way to a muddled world. Intelligence agencies around the world have needed to reinvent themselves to face more ambiguous enemies. The FBI has made protecting the U.S. from terrorist attack its No. 1 priority, with more than 10,000 ongoing terror-related investigations. After the September 11, 2001, attacks, U.S. intelligence agencies were lambasted for a number of oversights, most seriously for failing to share critical information with one another. As a result, intelligence about terror threats is now coordinated between the FBI's 56 field offices, the CIA, and 34 other government agencies at the FBI's Strategic Information Operations Center (SIOC). The FBI has also increased the number of agents working on counter-terrorism from 500 to 7,000.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Sitting with his head buried in his Target Field clubhouse locker, a framed 4x6 of his 1-year-old daughter, McKenna, watching over his nonchalant pregame routine of iPad chicanery, Brian Duensing suddenly received an open-palmed slap to the back of the neck. The 30-year-old Twins reliever swiveled his chair slightly to the left -- his pitching arm side -- just enough to see a chuckling Rick Anderson head toward the tunnel to check on his starter's warmup progress. Duensing buried his face back in whatever game or application had occupied his attention previously, acting as if nothing had happened. It's common enough mischief in the bullpen culture of Major League Baseball, but few engage in it with such ease as the approachable, soft-spoken Midwesterner. "We have too much time on our hands to stay sane," he says simply. Now in his fifth season in the majors, Duensing has firmly solidified himself as one of the Twins' most easygoing, affable characters. In addition to ...

Discussion in 'Steelhead' started by Nick Andrews, May 7, 2007.
Seems long over due!
speaking of overdue, where is the WDFW steelhead recovery plan???
HURRAY!!!! Great for steelhead!!!!
bawling: Bad for steelhead fishermen.....(At least for now....)
I'm guessing this means that we won't be able to C&R fish winter runs any more?
So what changes will this bring?
Recovery plan??? I suspect the confusion marbles are still rolling around in the cranium because they can't throw hatchery fish at the problem.
Steelhead listing means chance to recover irreplaceable Northwest icon

Steelhead listing means chance to recover irreplaceable Northwest icon
Statement by Rob Masonis, Northwest regional director, American Rivers
Contact: Rob Masonis, 206-213-0330 x12
Amy Kober, 206-213-0330 x23
Seattle -- American Rivers praised today's determination by NOAA Fisheries that Puget Sound steelhead are "threatened with extinction" and deserve protection under the Endangered Species Act. Endangered Species Act protection is essential to restoring healthy, self-sustaining populations of steelhead in Puget Sound rivers, where these incredible fish once thrived.
Like salmon, a wild steelhead migrates thousands of miles in its lifetime, from river to ocean and back again, to give birth to its offspring. Despite its hardiness and resilience, it cannot survive in rivers where dams block access to spawning grounds, where too much water is withdrawn, or where bad land management destroys streamside forests and wetlands.
Rob Masonis, Northwest regional director for American Rivers, made the following statement:
Anyone who has had the privilege of fishing for or watching wild steelhead on Puget Sound rivers knows why we must restore them. Steelhead are a wild symbol of this place and a reason why so many of us love living here.
We are fortunate to already have an ambitious Chinook salmon recovery effort in Puget Sound that was designed from the bottom-up by local people. It's not perfect, but it provides a great vehicle for making sure we do what it takes to recover steelhead as well. The Puget Sound salmon recovery plan should be expanded to encompass both Chinook salmon and steelhead.
There is considerable overlap between Chinook salmon and steelhead habitat, so many protection and restoration actions will benefit both fish. But, since steelhead typically migrate much further up rivers to spawn in smaller streams, recovering wild steelhead will require extending the scope of habitat protection and restoration actions into headwater streams.
The addition of steelhead to the list of Puget Sound species protected under the Endangered Species Act along with Chinook salmon, chum salmon and orca whales underscores the urgent need for a Sound-wide effort to restore this special place. Rivers must be a central focus of that effort, because so many species depend on healthy rivers for their survival."
Much of the C&R "season" is already shut down. (Sky, Snoq, Stilly etc).
I saw a draft conservation plan from WDFW a few months ago it explored several options in regard to changing angling regulations for the anticipated listing of P.S. Steelhead. The preferred option was not to dramatically restrict recreational angling any further than it already is. They cited the economic impacts of shutting down recreational angling opportunities. Something to the tune of steelhead being worth $2000/ fish to the local economy. (fishing guides, tackle sales, hotel stays etc)
I personally would like to see single barbless hook restrictions added to any river that has wild steelhead, and of course more enforcement.
Hatcheries should be managed as having a first priority to protect/restore at the very minimum not interfere with wild steelhead. The fishing opportunities they provide should be secondary. Hatchery steelhead are currently "planted" in almost every river system in the State. How about trying a few river systems for wild-only production and see what we get?
One big benefit to this listing is that it will protect more waters than the existing Chinook listing. Steelhead ascend smaller streams in addition to the bigger rivers and will move higher up in a watershed as well.
I guess in particular, are the statements of threatened across ALL PS rivers, or only select ones? In particular does this stop the current extended C&R season on the Sauk/Skagit? If it means protection for all of the other rivers great, but if it's more selective, even better.
Definitely overdue! Finally saw a "catch and release" sign on the Queets river this year, but as far as I can tell, the nets were still in as often as in years past...:beathead: Does anybody know what wild steelhead were selling for per pound?
Agreed. I think you could also look at bull trout management, a federally-listed threatened species, as a precendence. Why folks still get to kill them as part of their trout limit on the Sno and Skagit, I have NO idea...but thats another topic. Critically-impacted steelhead runs (by WDFW's crazy metrics) are already closed to angling, but the larger, relatively less f***ed runss will likely continue under durrent management rules, hopefully with some beneficial changes.
Habitat protection will be the most important change, but will largely only affect public land and new private developments that require federal permitting. Current private land will be generally unaffected unless they receive federal funds, require new permits, etc. At least that is my understanding of the ESA protections.
It is on the development side that the steelhead listing gets REALLY interesting. Since steelhead tend to be a rogue fish this means that any little drainage connected to the sea could become big time protected. This is great for those of us who would like to see the rapid PNW development curtailed.
In the case of the chinook being listed this wasn't significant as the chinook don't suddenly appear in random streams or tribs; they stick to what little habitat they have left and for obvious life history reasons, need to stick together. With steelhead, they often go where they like, I have seen them in ditches in downtown Bellingham.....how is that for a sensative environment. The fisheries biologists know, and it is well documented, that the steelhead pop up just about anywhere connected to the sea and I hope they put this information to its best use as this information is now EXPLOSIVE!
It will be the ESA versus the development juggernaut now, more than ever, and things will get REALLY interesting.
I am excited....
Something like $2.25 a lb from what my hazy memory tells me...
Whatever, they're a day late and a dollar short. At least the cough "salmon" cough on the all you can eat buffet at the casinos will be cheaper.
Does this mean that building permits on the hundreds of undeveloped streamside acres in snohomish county are going to be revoked?
Let's hope so. My pessimistic side is almost certain that the definition of "habitat use" will get pigeonholed and lawsuited into a real narrow definition much like is happening to wetlands. But, there is hope and today is a good day for native fish and PNW aquatic ecosystems.
Now is the time for all of us as individuals, members of various fishing clubs and WSC to really charge the gates to make sure that things get under way. I'm glad that American Rivers stepped up to the plate to applaud this measure. We need a whole lot more voices though; without end.
Les Johnson
While I am glad they are listed it truly brings to question what will change????
Several races of fish are listed threatened or endangered in the Columbia and has much changed (for the better) in the way they are being treated? NO. And the same will happen with Puget Sound steelhead. Nothing but small bandaids. As the human population expands so too will the habitat degradation (logging, agriculture, homes, estuary...). The hatchery myth will continue. As will overharvest. Status quo will remain.
i think several things could be implemented immediately:
- no fishing from floating devices, use it for transport, get out and wade. this immediately protects many runs which cannot be fished this way.
- single barbless hooks for all types of fishing gear
- zero wild fish kill, statewide
- no net fisheries by anyone, NAs, commercial or you and me!
then the hard stuff:
- significant buffer zones on all water fronting development
- strict septic rules to insure a very low probability of seepage
- significant restrictions on all products which are applied to soils that could leach into water systems, irrespective of who applies these products.
more ideas??
One thing that might result from this listing is tribal netting might have to stop once March rolls around to protect the wild fish since the hatchery fish are virtually done by then. Perhaps we will also see selective gear rules in place during the December-February winter hatchery run time.
However, based upon what I've seen with the Upper Columbia (defined as from the mouth of the Snake upstream and all the tribs therein) and Snake River (and its tribs) steelhead, nearly all of which have been listed as threatened (why do you think we don't get to fish the Wenatchee anymore? and why the Okanogan and Methow only intermittently?), I am not nearly as optomistic as many. The Lower Columbia has tribal netting, the Snake has tribal netting, the Okanogan has tribal netting, all the Puget Sound rivers have tribal netting through February (and some in March/April-the Skagit in particular), and these nets take wild and well as hatchery fish (and in the case of the Skagit nets in March/April, exclusively wild).
I would hope that their listing will stop the inane building on the flood plains of Puget Sound rivers though.
What makes you think that more water will be protected with the additional listing of steelhead in Puget Sound? Currently there are both Chinook and bull listed and several habitat conservation plans in place (as well as lic. to operate dams) that cover virtually all the habitat that steelhead and their juveniles might use. A careful look at the current "protections" in place shows that on many basins as much as 95% of the steelhead should be covered by those "protections". Those that are not are generally pretty minor in overall importance.
REgarding harvest of wild steelhead in Puget Sound - On many of the systems as many or more wild steelhead are killed from various hooking mortalities in recreational fisheries (either as adults or juveniles) as there are in tribal nets. If you are serious about addressing the remaining fishing impacts on our wild steelhead in Puget Sound we best look at our own fishing. Where should we go? Total year-round closures?
Inland -
I'm afraid that you have hit the nail on the head. I will be shocked if any meaning action will be taken that significantly benefits the major limiting factors of those populations.
Les -
Your call to action is decades too late. It is easy to be cheer leaders on the side lines however meaningful changes in habitat protection is extremely unlikely. If were going to occur it would have with the two previous listings.
The one fisheries management option that may have paid some long term benefits to the O. mykiss populations in the Puget Sound rivers would have been more protection of the resident life histories of the species that uses those waters. Those fish represent an important diversity of the species and a genetic reserve when the anadromous portion of the population is in trouble. However NOAA fisheries nicely excluded the resident fish so if there is to be any protection of those fish it will have to occur outside of the ESA context.

Jim - 2011 Graduate Program
- The University of Melbourne
- Hitotsubashi University, Japan
- Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
- Diploma in Modern Language (Japanese)
- Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice
After finishing my law degree and being admitted to practise law, I knew that I didn't want to work in a commercial law firm (at least to begin with) and therefore decided to try out the public service.
I applied for the Department's graduate program because I felt it would be a great opportunity to make a real difference to the Australian environment while developing a broad range of skills.
First Placement: Legal Section, Policy and Communications Division
The Legal Section provides legal advice to the Department on matters ranging from contracts for procuring products or services to specific line-area queries about their activities.
The advantage of being placed in the Legal Section for my first rotation was that I was exposed to all areas of the Department and their activities. This enabled me to forge lasting relationships with people all over the Department.
The variety of work was surprising. I drafted legal advice on a wide range of matters such as Australia's Antarctic activities, water entitlement sale contracts, the regulation of ozone and synthetic gasses and lighting works in one of the Department's buildings.
Second Placement: Product Stewardship E-waste Team, Environmental Quality Division
The Product Stewardship E-waste Team is one of four teams in the Waste Policy Branch involved in developing and implementing the National Television and Computer Product Stewardship Scheme. This Scheme will require television and computer importers and manufacturers to sponsor the recycling of a volume of e-waste equivalent to the volume of products they import.
During my time working on the Scheme I was exposed to many different types of work. I helped to develop policy concerning both the occupational health and safety practices of recyclers operating under the scheme, and the environmental standards recyclers will have to meet when recycling hazardous waste televisions and computers.
The second main area of my work was liaison with stakeholders. The E-waste team provided secretariat support for two large groups of stakeholders: the Implementation Working Group (comprising state and key industry representatives who provided assistance in developing the Scheme) and the Stakeholder Reference Group (consisting of about 80 organisations including importers, manufacturers and recyclers). As part of the secretariat function I conversed with stakeholders by telephone and email, arranged and attended meetings, and prepared briefing material.
Lastly, I assisted with some of the section's administrative tasks. I was in charge of a procurement of a consultancy from start to finish, and through this learnt about the Department's corporate guidelines and policies. I also drafted several ministerial briefings, question time briefs, responded to co-ordination tasks, led team meetings and helped with budget forecasting.
Third Placement: Bureau of Meteorology Review Taskforce
I chose to work on the Bureau of Meteorology Review for my third rotation because I thought it would be a real challenge - in terms of the substance and amount of work.
The Review was tasked with undertaking a thorough assessment of the Bureau's capacity to respond to future extreme weather and natural disaster events, and provide accurate and timely seasonal forecasting services.
I was one member of a team of three people working on the Taskforce, so I was involved in plenty of meetings with high-level departmental staff and external parties.
The first month of the rotation involved meeting with significant Bureau customers, extracting data from questionnaires and submissions, and collating all the feedback into meaningful issues to be incorporated into the Review's report.
The remainder of the rotation involved the drafting and refining of the report, which will likely have a major impact on the future of the Bureau of Meteorology.
Final Placement - Executive Support Section, Policy and Communications Division
For my final placement, I moved to the section responsible for providing support to the Secretary and Deputy Secretaries, and coordination over the whole Department. Working to prepare the Agenda and documents for the Portfolio Business Meeting between the Minister, Secretary and Deputy Secretaries was a great opportunity to find out about how the Department interacts with the Minister's office, and the projects and programs the Executive regards as important.
And beyond - Sustainability Policy and Indicators Section, Sustainability Policy and Analysis Division
About a month and a half into my final placement, I was contacted by a previous supervisor about a job opportunity to work on the Sustainability Indicators project. The aim of this project is to develop a set of indicators to deliver reliable, relevant and accessible information on stocks and flows of economic, human, natural and social capital which will in turn support consideration of sustainability issues in decision-making and planning at national and community levels.
My work in this Section includes meeting with government and non-government stakeholders and using their input to refine the indicators in preparation for their publication.

Crowd raises big bucks for DeSoto Central band
School spirit was alive Saturday as supporters came out in droves to participate in this year's annual Jag Day benefit at DeSoto Central High School.
The all-day event, sponsored by DeSoto Central High's Band Booster Club, raises money for the school's band and other participating DeSoto Central Schools organizations.
For many, like Southaven resident Susie Sadler, whose children attend DeSoto Central Elementary and Primary schools, the day offers a chance to give back.
"We have the best schools and teachers that offer a high level of education to help my kids go far in life," she said, "so we come out here for this every year because we want to do whatever we can to help support them.
"Plus, it's a lot of fun."
The free event featured games and activities for all ages with more than 25 bounce houses and inflatable obstacle courses, sports competitions, a cake walk as well as a silent auction including more than 400 locally donated items each valued at $40 and up.
In its third year, the event has grown to become the school's primary fundraiser and was expected to surpass last year's attendance of between 2,500 and 3,000 people, according to band booster president Lesa Weaver, who helped organize the event.
"When I think about the other events going on in this area today like Germantown's annual festival and the big Delta Fair, the fact that all of these people chose to be here today just goes to show the huge amount of support we have for our schools here in our community," Weaver said. "That's what this event is all about ... Even the clouds and rain didn't keep people away."
Carol Ann Fleming, another event organizer, said a big draw to Jag Day is the Cow-A-Dunga raffle, during which DeSoto Central band students sell $10 tickets that are shuffled and assigned a number on a grid. The grid is set up on the school's practice field, where an actual cow is released.
"When the cow does his 'business', a $10,000 check is awarded to the owner of that grid," Fleming said. "It's a big deal, and everyone enjoys waiting for the cow to make 'business.'"
Fleming said organizers decided to hold this year's event on the 9th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to pay tribute to the nation's fallen soldiers and those still at war.
A ceremony honoring American men and women currently serving in the military featured guest speaker Southaven Mayor Greg Davis and patriotic performances by the DeSoto Central Children's Choirs and The Pride of DeSoto Central High School Marching Band.
The band, along with eight other school bands in the area, also performed at the event during a Battle of the Bands competition for a chance to win cash prizes and a two-hour recording session at Sun Studio.
Nearly 100 vendors, including local businesses and organizations selling arts and crafts and serving up fair-food favorites such as smoked turkey legs and funnel cakes, also participated in the fundraiser.
Area school clubs and organizations also set up booths to sell items such as raffle tickets, gift baskets and school spirit memorabilia, including Jag Day event T-shirts on sale for $12 a piece.
This year's proceeds will go toward travel expenses for the 188-member band's participation in six competitions this year, including the state competition next month and the Bands of America Grand National Championship in Indianapolis, in November.
According to band director Dennis Cox, the band will also march in Disney World's Magic Kingdom parade in Orlando in May.

spinach leaves
parsley stems
the predominant color=light purple
the down side is the sugar cane is still very woody and the seeds in the blackberry's are a royal pain to crunch
re: iL Divo
re: Ttrockwood
just a major high powered blender.
I would love recipes.
I got the first one from watching a tv show where they gave ingredients but NO measurements which I'm sure has much to do with the outcome ;:-/
(basically what I listed with a few inclusions of my own ie. sugar cane chunks simply because they were in the freezer¬ knowing what else to do with them > toss 'em in power juice recipe).
everyday I switch up a tiny bit trying to get something that tastes good but amps up vitamins&nutrients mostly.
today I added carrots
re: iL Divo
It's good to use the blender. Removing the fiber is a terrible idea!
re: sandylc
well yah agreed but not kidding when I say sugar cane is full of millions of pokey thin little sticks - no fun but then I could always leave that ingred out
re: iL Divo
Ok, blending is way different from juice....
A few of my veggie centric favorites:
- one peeled cucumber (or two if they're smaller)
- half bunch of cilantro
- 1/3 of a peeled red grapefruit
- big handful fresh pineapple chunks
- tiny pinch of salt
Sometimes i add a little ice, but not much- just enough to chill. Its super refreshing mix.
Breakfasty blend:
-2 huge handfuls fresh baby spinach
- lots of frozen or fresh blueberries
- one TB almond butter
- enough almond milk to blend
Thin as you like it, the spinach is barely detectible and the bit of almond butter goes a long ways. Add a vanilla or unflavored protein powder if you need to.
Savory mix:
- 2 good sized tomatoes (or four canned ones which is what i do in the winter)
- one peeled and seeded lemon
- one peeled cucumber
- half bunch or so cilantro
- big handful baby spinach
- pinch of salt
- a small bit strong dijon mustard or prepared horseradish
- i also add a tsp of flax oil
Really simple creamy one:
- 1/2 avocado
- a ton of blueberries/whatever berries
- almond milk to blend
- a few ice cubes if using fresh berries
- fresh mint or basil if its around.
Hope this helps, sometimes more simple is the way to go. I try to use 1/2 or less the ingredients as fruit to avoid having a smoothie of sugar, but a bit goes a long way towards flavor as well.
re: Ttrockwood
your savory looks wonderful and your creamy one, wow so good
"Ok, blending is way different from juice...."
is one better than the other?
I'm doing this for better health, dropping 5 lbs and having good outcome next time (or all times) my blood is drawn.
re: iL Divo
"is one better than the other?"
YES! With juicing, you are throwing away the fiber and concentrating the sugars!!!!!
Blending uses the WHOLE FOOD.
Whenever you remove the fat or fiber from a food, such as in skim milk (hm-mm...why isn't it called skimmed milk?), or in juicing, the sugars are concentrated....
re: sandylc
I try to juice and then find ways to use at least some of the solids left behind. For example,I'll make a green juice, with kale, parsley, arugula and spinach (sometimes also celery and carrot) and remove those solids. Then I'll juice an apple or pear, mix it all together and drink that.
Then I sauté a mirepoix of diced onion, carrot and celery until it's soft, add in the green solids and then add chicken broth and let it all bubble away for a little while. I throw in some chicken at the end and I have a tasty "green chicken soup" that we love.
There are other sites with recipes for muffins, quick breads, soups and other ways to use the solids.
re: Chris VR
Chris I love your input.....
I guess my solids are going in me the way I do it so not being left behind.
re: iL Divo
Yep, you're looking for smoothie recipes, not juicing recipes, and you've gotten some super tasty-looking ones here! (I've saved this thread, because I love smoothies as well as juice.) I was just replying to the "juicing is bad because you lose all the fiber" tangent that seemed to be launching.
re: Chris VR
It does need to be pointed out - not everyone is as creative and disciplined as you are about using up the "leavings" from juicing.
I just don't know why a person should go to the expense and effort to remove the fiber and then have to come up with ways to eat the fiber - ???
I'll be done now. It sounds like what you do works well.
re: iL Divo
There are benefits to both. Blending leaves in the fiber yet limits the quantity of vegetables (impossible to blend and consume the number of veggies you can juice).
For your purposes blending is a great healthy option! Keep an eye on nutrient dense lower sugar ingredients (similar to suggestions i had).
Generally 2/3veggies and 1/3 or less fruit will make a very tasty filling smoothie.
These recipes for "blended salads" are great savory smoothies:
Dr furhman wrote a lot about blended salads- skip the blahblah if you want, recipes are on the third pg here:
I love the "green citrus medley" one.
re: Ttrockwood
TRock-as coming from SRock (No I am not kidding)
I love the 'athletes green fuel'
all those nuts love it!
question: where do I get fig or blood orange vinegar?
I love helpful people&so appreciate great suggestions :)
many thanks all.....
re: iL Divo
I buy flavored vinegars most from my fairway market- but just use what you have that is on hand and mild like a champagne vinegar.
re: iL Divo
We have the following every day:
one unpeeled, cored apple
one unpeeled, cored pear
a few chunks of frozen mango
a handful of kale
a Tablespoon or two of chia seeds
about 2 cups of purified water
EDIT: Two servings here
re: sandylc
ok forgive, but is this substitute for a meal or just a healthy refreshing something or other?
re: iL Divo
We have it for breakfast with other stuff...
re: iL Divo
It sounds like you are making smoothies, not juicing??? I've never had a problem with seeds in my juicer it's very good about spitting them out along with other fibrous parts.
re: rasputina
our sons' GF calls them shakes which just entered my mind right this second. she's a gymnast and always going for healthy meals of sorts. with A+ blood whether one agrees or not with the theory I know my body craves fruits&veg. just trying to make sure I get what I need. the Long Island Medium show featured 'her' juicing and hers look like mine, more of a thick shake than actual juice.
in the vitamin, my current favorite is (for a 12 oz serving in a contego travel mug so my coworkers are sheltered from my "weirdness"
a cup or so of plain kefir (I culture my own)
a big handful of spinach/leafy green mix
about a 2 inch chunk of cucumber, I leave the peel on if it's an english cuke
about half a cup or so of frozen mixed berries.
Blend till smooth. I love the frothy texture the cucumber gives it, I don't taste the greens at all with a bit of the cucumber added. The berries add enough sweetness, and the kefir gets my my daily probiotics
re: autumm
lol thats my moms smoothie recipe! she makes her own kefir even too. her has a bit of flax in it too. I cant do the kefir to sour.
And these are more smoothie type recipes it sounds. I do love juicing tho my fav is just beet and pineapple.
today went in
yellow pepper
it's ugly but somehow palatable.
the juicer I had was over the top hard/impossible to clean.
there's go to be a better way to juice without the problematic mesh thingie

A group of local artists are hoping their work with clay will help build homes for families in need.
Members of the Albany-Saratoga Pottery Trail opened their studios Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 4 and 5, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. They donated 25 percent of all proceeds to local Habitat for Humanity organizations.
Pottery trail members are Ballston Pottery in the Town of Ballston, Saratoga Clayworks in Saratoga Springs, Victoria Crowell Studio in Troy, Two Spruce Pottery in Schenectady, and Blue Mountain Clay in Greenwich.
Ballston Pottery owner James Sankowski said one of the incentives of the benefit is that funds will be used for Habitat homes being built in the Schenectady, Glens Falls and Rensselaer areas.
There's been a concern with Hurricane Katrina and the devastation in Louisiana that much of the organization's money has been siphoned off, said Sankowski. "We want to see more funds available for the Capital Region area."
Each studio also had a donation box for people who didn't wish to make a purchase, but wanted to support Habitat anyway.
"We're calling this 'homemade pots to help homemade homes,'" said Sankowski. "Our artwork comes from our hands, and this is meant to be support for people building the homes and living in them."
Jeff Clark, executive director of the Schenectady Habitat for Humanity chapter, said he is hoping to have more local businesses participate in fundraising efforts.
"We appreciate all their help in getting the word out," said Clark. "There is a great need in the local area. We have a waiting list for families lined up into next year."
Clark said he also wants people to know they can support Habitat without any carpentry skills.
"A lot of people think the only way to be involved is to build, but there are many ways," said Clark. "You can help without ever lifting a hammer, and it will make all the difference in the world."

I absolutely love this product. If my teeth were not so sensitive, I would use this everyday! My teeth feel fresher and cleaner after I use this product more than when I go to the dentist and get my teeth cleaned. Your teeth feel clean for a very long time and it has a very welcoming minty taste. The toothpaste actually tastes good. Thanks!5
So, like most people.. I just go to my local Target or grocery store and buy the cheapest toothpaste.
That has changed completely after using Marvis toothpaste.
Not only is the taste and over all quality better but I felt like my teeth were even cleaner after using it. It had a bit of a grit to it that helped clean.
I only used the travel size and lasted me a couple months. Definitely going to purchase the full size tube soon!
i am rather impressed with this toothpaste. Fresh tasting from the beginning, it left my mouth feel really well-cared for. This is the first of many future purchases of this brand. The flavors are perfect and never overpowering. I am looking forward for future purchases!4
I decided to try this when I ran out of my super smile toothpaste and I don't regret it. I got this in the whitening formula. .. I've obit used it a few times so I don't see a visible difference yet butI'm going to continue using it. The consistency is not as thick as regular toothpaste which doesn't make a difference to me and it has a very pleasant minty taste.5

U Penn's Wharton School Revamps Entrepreneurship
Aug 21, 2012 | 0 comments
Entrepreneurship at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School has a new look and feel thanks to a university-wide rebranding campaign that includes a new logo and blog, the school announced this week.
What was formerly called Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs will now go simply by Wharton Entrepreneurship. The subtle shift is designed to represent the fact that the initiative extends across the entire Penn campus and includes research, teaching and co-curricular programming designed to engage students throughout the university, wrote Professors Raffi Amit and Ian MacMillan, heads of the Wharton Entrepreneurial Team, in a year-in-review email distributed to the wider Wharton community this week.
In addition to a new name and logo, the initiative also features a new tagline, "Enabling Entrepreneurship at Penn," again designed to underscore a commitment to all students in every school of the University of Pennsylvania. Wharton Entrepreneurship will also now feature a revamped website and a new Entrepreneurship Blog, which launched in June 2012.
Other milestones in the past year include the addition of new entrepreneurship faculty, increased student participation in entrepreneurship programs and expanded funding for students who intern at start-ups.
In terms of faculty, Assistant Professor Laura Huang joined the Wharton School, bringing the standing entrepreneurship faculty to seven, the largest number in the school's history. In terms of student interest, the number of applications for the Venture Initiation Program rose by 50 percent, the number of teams participating in Phase II of the Business Plan Competition grew by 30 percent and applications to the Wharton Venture Awards increased 40 percent. And this summer, Wharton Entrepreneurship provided more than $100,000 in financial support to students who interned at start-ups, both in the United States and internationally.

"Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities" (National Service Learning Clearinghouse).
Academic service learning or community engagement is an excellent strategy for:
Reflection upon the academic and service experiences is a vital component of service learning, distinguishing it from other forms of service, internships, practicums, volunteer service days, etc. Reflections are offered in various ways within the classroom and outside it.
Campus Ministry sponsors interdisciplinary reflections at the end of each semester, inviting undergraduate students from a wide array of studies to integrate their understandings of community engagement, leadership, and the college's mission. This also offers students the opportunity for course evaluation and suggestions.
