GFF book review
Fly Waters Near & Far
Photography beyond belief! This is a book for sore eyes and a fly fishing photographer's wet dream.Author: Barry & Cathy Beck
Martin Joergensen I have been lucky enough to fish quite a lot of places in this world, and generally consider myself a well-travelled fly fisher. Having been north and south, west and east I feel that I live up to the name we have given this site.
This book makes me humble in that respect.
Barry and Cathy Beck have been more places than I have. A lot more places! And they have been more places than most travelling fly fishers I know. The book documents this fact beyond any doubt. Open it and be ready to circumnavigate the planet.
And I admit it: I didn't spend much time reading the first time I opened the book. I will explain why in a minute.
The first bit of text my eyes fastened on were the words "A visual journey". A visual journey indeed... and then some.
The recent evenings I have been leafing through it times and times again, and I have been on a visual journey. I have journeyed with the Beck's to most parts of the world. The Beck's have travelled to all corners of the world with their rods and cameras, and you can go to the distant tropics as well as more homely waters almost no matter where you live. There are destinations on most continents, which are visited in this volume.
The book does contain text, and does offer some reading, but it's not a how-to or a where-to book. You won't find detailed advice on lodges, transportation, currency and tipping customs. Neither will you be able to get recommendations on gear, fly choice or fishing methods. That is not the aim of this book. It is indisputably a visual journey.
My trip through it has been very visual, supported by the extremely good photography. And I say extremely good because the pictures used are way beyond the quality that we normally see in fly angling books.
That is why I was so mesmerized by the book that I hardly read a word apart from some captions on my first few times opening the book. The Beck's are nature and fishing photographers beyond excellence. Their pictures spellbind, and the fact that they have been to all the places that most of us would give a limb to go to, doesn't make it less attractive. A few of the pages are just a bit on the overwhelming side like the collections of sunrises and sunsets. I love images of the sun rising and setting, but a whole page full or more can be just a bit "too-much-of-a-good-thing".
Apart from the very insignificant blotches like that, there is no finger to be put on this immaculate product. The layout is well balanced and helps promote the pictures, the typography is subdued and tasteful without being over-designed and the whole thing is very harmonic.
This book maintains a level so high that it deserves a Global Class score.
It's an angler's dream come through on paper.

This is top notch book and I agree with your observations. One thing however, that soon began to annoy me was the "Cathy-text" (like here is Cathy fighting... Here Cathy releases... Cathy makes the last cast... Cathy makes a long casts...) It was simply too much, but again, this is a photo journey, so skip the acompaning text and enjoy :-)

Wasp YearIt has been a hot and dry summer in Scandinavia. Wasps have been a plague in many areas. They have been in every apple, every drink and every house. Some of them may have crossed a stream or river, winding up on the surface before continueing the rush. Some of them never left again.

Remember Me
Words by: Lizzy Justesen
The boys of Leftover
Salmon entered the bluegrass scene humbly, touring at local bars in mountain towns
all over Colorado in a VW bus. Over 20 years later, Leftover Salmon dominates the
contemporary bluegrass scene, with their self-proclaimed "polyethnic Cajun slamgrass"
circus that tours all over the country. This summer, before embarking on a full-scale fall
tour in September, Salmon has been seen from coast to coast – from High Sierra in
California to All Good in Ohio.
Three years ago, here at JamBase – we featured Leftover
Salmon: 20 Years Down River, a four-part celebration of Salmon's 20-year-
anniversary, complete with interviews from various musicians both within and outside the
band. Now, Drew Emmitt, a man of many titles (co-founder, singer, guitarist, fiddle
and mandolin player) discusses what is coming next in this chat from just after last
month's Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
Welcome back from Telluride! You and Vince Herman have both been attending Telluride as
spectators and performers for over twenty-five years. How has Telluride been a factor in
your growth as a musician? What keeps you coming back to this festival?
Drew Emmitt: Boy, a lot of reasons. Number one, there's this so much history there
- just because we started out there. We formed as a band in the campground at Telluride.
That's where we used to go and watch all these bands that really influenced us as well,
it's like a big family reunion every year. It's just an amazing time. Now, we get to play
with all these people that we grew up kind of hero-worshipping; it's a really great thing.
This was my 20th time playing the festival, in various incarnations – Lefthand String
Band, my solo band, Bill Nershi and with Salmon so, this was number 20, that was big for
me. Number 13 for Salmon, but yeah, for us, it just really is altogether - the best
festival in the country. For what we do, and for music in general. It is always a great
Telluride is held in Colorado, where Salmon originated. Many other bluegrass bands like
The String Cheese Incident and Yonder Mountain String Band also have roots in the Colorado
area. Is there something special in that area that caters to bluegrass music or musicians
in general?
DE: Well, I think a lot of it is Telluride, and a lot of it is Rockygrass. Colorado
is a real rich, kind of fertile ground for music. There are a lot of great places to play.
You know there's the mountain towns, there's Boulder, there's Denver, there's Fort
Collins. It's a great place to come and start a band without having to tour. People are
very receptive, and there are great venues here – Fox Theatre in Boulder, Boulder Theatre,
The Gothic, The Fillmore in Denver and then the ski towns are great places to play.
Because people are ready to party and have a good time. And also, you know, Hot Rize was a
big force in the bluegrass world, and really inspired us. They are from Boulder; they drew
a lot of bands here. As well as New Grass Revival, and Sam Bush, and finally – we kind of
got our turn to be in the chain of events, as a band, and were able to, in our own way,
show people that it was possible to get out and tour without having a record label.
When we started, in the early '90s, we just got out of a school bus, and had no idea what
the hell we were doing, and just made it happen. I think other bands were able to see that
and think, "Oh, well, maybe we don't need a record label. Maybe we could just get out on
the road and start playing." When we started doing that, there wasn't another bluegrass-
oriented band doing that. It was difficult. At that time, it was hard to convince people
that electric bluegrass was something that was going to work. Obviously, these days,
bluegrass has become a big thing in the clubs and theaters as well as festivals. It's been
really fun being a part of that chain. Like I said, we were inspired by bands, and then
came along and did our thing and bridged the gap a little bit, and it's just been rolling
along ever since.
So, Colorado was a good spot for you guys to take off.
DE: Absolutely, and I grew up in Boulder. Went to junior high and high school in
Boulder, and it was always my dream to be a part of the Boulder music scene. That was like
my big dream. Little did I know that I would be touring nationally. Back when I was a
teenager, that was big for me. I watched a lot of great bands come to Boulder, and it
definitely inspired me to want to do that.
You recently announced the dates for this year's Fall Tour. This is going to be the
first time many fans are going to see Andy Thorn, the banjo powerhouse that has joined the
band since the passing of Mark Vann. What kind of energy do you think he brings to the
DE: Well, you know after Mark passed away we had several banjo players' play with
us for various lengths of time. Starting with Tony Furtado, Matt Flynner, Noam Pikelny –
everybody was great, but it really didn't feel like we had a unit, like how we did before
with Mark. When Andy joined the band it just felt like he was just a good fit. Finally, we
had a unit again. It felt like a band, and the energy was back instead of just putting
back together something that was broken. Now, it feels like we have a real band again.
It's a great feeling, he's a great player, great energy and very enthusiastic, and very
happy to be playing in Leftover Salmon. It's a very great thing.
This summer is the first year that Leftover Salmon, as a whole, is playing the
Northwest String Summit in Oregon. I know you've been there with your band, and Bill
Nershi - are you excited about playing together at Horning's?
DE: Very much so. We did do a surprise set there, a mini-set that the Yonder boys
kind of pushed us to do because Jeff Sipe was there, Tye North, our old bass player, and
Vince and I were there. We had Danny Barnes on the banjo, it wasn't really Salmon, but it
was kind of like a thrown together version of Salmon. It was really, really fun and I
think we all kind of got it in our heads that it would be fun to play there as the real
Leftover Salmon has always been known for its fun loving approach to making music. Over
the past twenty years, through the loss the band has endured – has your attitude about
making music changed at all? Do you think you approach it the same way you did when you
were starting out?
DE: There are similarities; certain aspects are almost the same as they were. But,
a lot of time has gone by, we've been through a lot, and we're a little bit older. It is
definitely still exciting; I think we've all learned a lot as musicians and as people. The
approach is probably a little different because of that. We're not striving so hard like
we used to when we were first getting it going, we're enjoying a little more success now
and that's always a great thing. But I think, by and large, yeah – it's exciting, and fun,
and it's in the spirit it's always been which is having a great time, and really enjoying
playing music together and whipping up a good party – which is what Vince Herman does
everywhere he goes. That's the definitely the same, hasn't changed.
You've played many gigs from tiny bars to sold-out festivals. Are there any musical
goals you guys still have?
DE: I want to go play the places we've never played. We've played Canada and in
Mexico now, we've played Alaska, which seems like a foreign country – but it's not. But we
haven't been overseas at all. I think that's my next goal, to get over to Europe and Japan
and play some different crowds and cultures. We've played every corner of the United
States, and that's great and all, but it would be really nice to go play somewhere else.
That's something that other bands in this genre have done, and we just haven't really made
it happen. I think that's probably my biggest goal right now is to do that, and bring that
music to some other cultures.
So, an international tour might be in the works one day soon.
DE: We are going to island hop the Hawaiian Islands in January; we are real excited
about that. We are doing New Years up in Seattle, and then we are going to do three days
in Alaska, and then we're going from Alaska to Hawaii. It's going to be quite a fun winter
month. Doing Mexico and then doing all that. We are definitely getting to where we are
branching out and starting to do different things. Because when you've been touring over
25 years as a band, I think, it's time to get creative and do some different things.
That's what we're thinking about.
Not many bands make it up to Alaska for a gig, what's that like?
DE: Playing in Alaska is awesome, it's really beautiful. We played up there last
summer at a festival called Salmon Stock, strangely enough. We've been up there a few
times, and Billy and I also played up there and it was really, really great. People just
love live music up there because they don't get a ton of it. People are always very
enthusiastic and excited, so it's always really fun.
What music are you listening to now?
DE: My favorite bluegrass band is the Del McCoury Band. We also love Hot Rize and
anything that Sam Bush does. Tim O'Brien, Bela Fleck and all those guys. We are definitely
fans of the Yonder boys. As far as up and coming bands, I think that Greensky is really
sounding good. Another band, out of Colorado, called Head For The Hills that is really
sounding good. I got to produce their last record, before this new one, and so they're
really sounding good these days. There's a band out of Austin called Milk Drive, a bunch
of young kids, really good. Another band called the Deadly Gentlemen, who we just were at
a festival with last weekend in Kentucky. Sounded really good. Just really great pickers
in that band. And also, Sarah Jarosz, she's just amazing. We've been kind of around her,
watchin' her grow up since she was about 12, back in the days at RockyGrass, sitting in on
jam sessions. She had an amazing set at Telluride this year, just really really great.
Go See Live Music!

AUSTIN, Texas — On Monday, Feb. 28, the Travis County Courthouse unveiled
a bronze plaque commemorating UT Law civil rights pioneer Heman Sweatt. Mr.
Sweatt sued in the U.S. Supreme Court to gain admission to UT Law School and
won. The case, Sweatt v. Painter, is staple of constitutional law taught
to first-year students.
"Sweatt v. Painter was an important way-station on the road to Brown v. Board of Education. The case is particularly important to UT because it reminds us that the University has to serve all Texans," said Professor Ernie Young who teaches constitutional law.
UT Law has named a professorship and scholarship in honor of the civil rights pioneer. The school is a national leader in graduating African-Americans and Mexican-Americans according to the most recent American Bar Association statistics.
According to an article by reporter Ralph Haurwitz in today's Austin American-Statesman,
"Wallace Jefferson, chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court and the first African American justice on that court, said he and others owe a debt of gratitude to Sweatt for serving as a soldier in the civil rights battle. Jefferson is a graduate of UT Law School, which has become a national standout in graduating blacks and Hispanics.
"Without Sweatt," he said, "there would be no Chief Justice Jefferson."

The Blood Stocks Management Scheme was established in 2001 to understand and improve blood inventory management across the blood supply chain. Hospitals and Blood Services from the UK and Republic of Ireland are currently participating in the scheme.
Central to our work is VANESA, a data management system, where hospital and blood service data is collected. In return participants can view real time data and charts.
In November, BSMS will be undertaking a re-registration exercise to ensure your hospital's details are still correct. This will ensure you can benchmark your "Frozen" practices with similar specialities.
VANESA 4 coming soon
Vanessa 4 will be launched shortly - Date to be confirmed. A training manual will be issued prior to go live but we think anyone who has used OBOS or Amazon will have no problems at all. The new version will also include Frozen products. For more information

im an achievement whore in a sense, not that you could tell by my completion rate (but I blame that on having 2 jobs, a kid, and Ive only had my 360 for like 5 months and went and bought like 60 games within a month so I have too many to choose from or pour 50 hours into) but I also think its a little crazy to totally not get the game based on achievements.
Hell gamestop, where I assume a vast majority of us are getting the game from, offers a 30 day guarantee on new games that if you dont like it you can take it back and get your money back. If the game is so short and the multiplayer sucks... take it back and by then Crysis 2 will be out.
Or better yet get gamefly. Dont miss out on what could be a great game. I heard a lot of bitching , albeit a lot less, when bulletstorms achievements first hit the site. Im glad I didnt pass on it solely for achievements because Ive played through the game 4 times now and enjoyed it every time.

6800 Ultra with VGA out?
Has any company made a 6800 Ultra with a VGA out?? Or are they ALL dual DVI?
Doesn't the DVI to VGA adapter reduce image sharpness or anything?
Re: 6800 Ultra with VGA out?
The DVI-VGA adapter does not reduce image sharpness or anything... All 6800 Ultra's have dual DVI... 6800GT's have a single VGA.

They had tied their hands, and I still can't figure out why.
Like it or not, the social-media revolution is here to stay. Many argue that social media will ultimately become as important to our daily lives as the discovery of fire (790,000 years ago) or the creation of the wheel (in 3,500 B.C.).
Enjoy this week's Castaway cartoon.
The Manatee County School Board's meeting chambers were exceptionally crowded Monday night, and as I squeezed into the back to stand, I first noticed Superintendent Tim McGonegal was missing from his normal seat.
The conventions for the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee have both come to a close, and although both platforms differed greatly, one issue stood out in both — our tax system.

Morozov retires, key fantasy hockey defensemen, and what you can do to kickstart the trade action in your league …
The Fantasy Hockey Guide was last updated yesterday. Find me another fantasy guide out there with Devin Setoguchi in the Calgary lineup with a projection. I dare ya! The Draft List was also updated with Band-Aid Boys, plus/minus and power-play points added.
Fixed. Shop is now fixed. Login and/or register on DobberHockey, then go to the shop and make your purchase or download your product.
A couple of plugs - my Hockey News article Tuesday continued the offseason team- by -team looks. I did a couple of 'okay' teams, I guess. If you like awesome, that is. Chicago and Pittsburgh.
And my Puck Daddy piece yesterday went over some key fantasy hockey defensemen.
Announcement: Right now the DobberHockey site is not connected properly to the shop. So please don't change your email address on DobberHockey right now, because the shop will just create a new account for you and you won't have access to your downloads. If you changed your email address recently and can't access your downloads, simply go to "Your Account" and change it back. Then you can access your downloads again. Everything else with the shop works fine, just that one glitch we're working on.
If you check the "remember me" box when you login to DobberHockey, and you return to the site later - you will see an error page. Ignore it and refresh. Another glitch we're working on.
Did you catch this story on TSN? Corey Sznajder is watching all 1230 NHL games from last season and gathering zone entry information. Some interesting tidbits:
"At the 2013 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, I met Eric Tulsky, who presented research on the value of controlled zone entries (short answer: about twice as valuable to enter with control of the puck rather than dumping it in) and Sznajder had charted a couple hundred games that were included in that study."
" What is Sznajder charting? Whether a team enters the zone under control of the puck or if it is dumped in and that is done for approximately 150 even-strength zone entries per game. As Sznajder says, "There is also an 'X' category, for broken plays, like a puck deflecting off a player in the neutral zone that suddenly turns into a scoring chance." That's a very small percentage, but Sznajder admits they drive him crazy."
There is really so much more to this article - lots of cool tidbits, I recommend reading the whole thing. Here is another tidbit:
"One of the surprises he has found is that there is a team that is a great possession team, the San Jose Sharks, that isn't particularly strong in the neutral zone. That's somewhat unexpected."
Sznajder also has great things to say about Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron, and their ability get the puck across the blue line with the opposition tries to stand up to them.
I got a 'mailbag' letter yesterday for my THN column. I don't do those anymore, but there is still a link buried in the THN website somewhere and this guy found it. So I thought I would answer it here - since this is oh so much fantasy hockey news on this fine August 27 day:
Me and some friends started a league last year, it was an 8 team head to head league. It was kind of meant as a way to keep in touch and do something all together because some people moved away. But there never was a ton of interaction, as people were content to mostly stick with the players they originally drafted, tinker a bit with waiver moves and very rarely were trades ever made. I just think it would be more fun if people were making moves and talking making moves…How can we set our league so more trading happens?
Matt, Pittsfied, MA
First of all, make it about the glory. That means get a nice trophy for first place and engrave it every year with the fantasy team name and owner name. It will look real nice in a few years and make them care. Second, make it about the money. That means you each throw in 50 or 100 bucks and winner takes 75%, with second taking 25%. Third, make it fun to fire off offers. That means set unlimited trading, but then set a 'soft' trade deadline of January 31 - after that date, each team is only allowed three trades. Then a 'hard' trade deadline of March 2 or whenever the NHL deadline is. No trading after that date. Limit waiver moves to five per year. If this is a keeper league, increase the keepers and look into adding a new owner every three years until you have 12. The more owners, the more people to make trade offers.
These are just a few quick suggestions, but I'm basing this off of very little information (as you may already have these rules in place, you didn't say).
Hey it looks like Laidlaw is still away, fighting fires. So you'll be stuck with me again tomorrow and probably Friday too. All Dobber, all the time!
So Aleksey Morozov has retired from hockey at the age of 37. This is going to sound pretty dumb. But it was the Morozov era that got me into the Penguins. It was their first attempt at a rebuild and it was a crappy attempt. But I love getting on board at the bottom and riding the bandwagon to the top. So no, I didn't like the Penguins when they had Lemieux (the first time) because I was and still am the biggest Gretzky fan. And I didn't jump on board the Pens when Crosby came along because I was already on board - with Morozov. I loved his potential, I loved Milan Kraft's potential, and it was really just a team of nobodies. He had 50 points in 75 games in 2003-04 playing with the likes of Kraft, Rico Fata, Konstantin Koltsov and newcomer Ryan Malone. They had just drafted Fleury and were about to draft Malkin. Yep, one of the worst teams in all of hockey. Morozov went on to become a superstar in the KHL, leading the lead in scoring a couple of times.
September is just a few days away and Ryan Johansen and Columbus Blue Jackets have agreed that a two-year deal is best. However, the amount per year is where they differ - and that could lead to a holdout. If he misses training camp, and we've seen this a million times, his risk of injury increases dramatically. As in - virtually a guarantee. The two sides are $3 million apart. That's per year.
And here is the thing. His agent, Kurt Overhardt, has had clients miss camp before - Kyle Turris and Brandon Dubinsky. Marty Turco missed the start of camp in 2003, and Ryan Kesler signed an offer sheet on the eve of camp in 2006. So this is starting to become serious and at this point I would consider moving Johansen down my draft sheet just a little.
Ron Hextall has a lot to say about the prospect defensemen in his organization. Of note, he discusses Shayne Gostisbehere, and how he feels that defensemen could always use more time in the AHL and that they shouldn't be rushed. You can read Gostisbehere's profile here.
That's what Craig Berube's response was to Vincent Lecavalier hearing his name in trade rumors.
"First of all, he needs to come to camp in great shape," Berube said. "Not in good shape. Great shape just like everybody else. That's a start if he does. We'll see at camp."
Sorry, I just…have no faith in Vinny. None.

NHL expansion to Las Vegas is "a done deal". We knew it was coming - 32 teams was the end game, no question. My picks for where the NHL 'should' expand are Toronto and Quebec. My picks for where the NHL 'will' expand are Las Vegas and Seattle. When this does happen - all those players who flocked to the KHL will come flying back - there are new jobs to be had!

LOL if you saw Setoguchi with Winnipeg you must be looking at last year's! I'll have another update soon anyway

Possibly just hot air, but who knows. Imagine the carnage that expansion draft would unleash.
#1) Las Vegas Aces
#2) ...
Prediction #1: When Las Vegas becomes the expansion city, and the Russians come flocking in, someone in the media will coin the term "Russian Roulette" for the chances teams take in employing Russians VS them fleeing back to the KHL at the slightest tiff.
Prediction #2: The first line of Las Vegas will be eventually dubbed as a "Full House" by the media at some point.
Prediction #3: At some point Las Vegas will have a player who takes a lot of chances, he will forever be known as "The Gambler" in the media.
Also, when are sleepers/band aid boys going to be updated in Draft List? Thanks.

And by "pasta party," I mean my roommate and me sitting in front of the TV, me eating a bowl of pasta.
Tomorrow morning I'm running the Brown Deer 10K. Not only will it be my first time in Brown Deer but it will also be my first 10K. A momentous occasion on both counts. This of course means tonight is time to carbo-load before the big race.
I thought I'd try a new pasta dish for the event, and, keeping my lovely readers in mind, I tested it last night in case you too are running a race tomorrow and would like to carbo-load with this recipe.
I found it on betterrecipes.com, and I didn't change anything (besides substituting the fresh herbs with dry and using campanelle instead of farfalle pasta). It was very easy to make and delicious as written.

Functional Brain Development
The most influential method for studying human brain development is that of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This method allows for seeing what areas of the brain are active when an individual is behaving by indexing changes in blood oxygen levels in the brain. In the last decade, there has been an explosion of fMRI studies examining adolescent brain development (Casey et al., 2008). This work challenges the traditional view that changes in behavior during adolescence are due simply to immature cognitive control capacities and the underlying neural substrates (e.g., prefrontal cortex). Instead, the latest studies suggest that much of what distinguishes adolescents from children and adults is an imbalance among developing brain systems (Casey, Getz, and Galvin, 2008; Steinberg et al., 2008). This imbalance model implies dual systems: one that is involved in cognitive and behavioral control and one that is involved in socioemotional processes. Accordingly, adolescents lack mature capacity for self-regulation because the brain system that influences pleasure-seeking and emotional reactivity develops more rapidly than the brain system that supports self-control.
Empirical evidence to support this view comes from three areas of work. First, prefrontal circuitry implicated in self-regulation and planning behavior continues to develop into young adulthood (Casey et al., 1997, 2002; Luna et al., 2001; Bunge et al., 2002; Klingberg, Forssberg, and Westerberg, 2002; Bitan et al., 2006). This development is slow and linear in nature. Specifically, adolescents tend to recruit prefrontal regions less efficiently than adults, and these areas become more fine-tuned with age and experience (Casey et al., 1995; Brown et al., 2005; Durston et al., 2006). For example, imaging studies using tasks in which children and adolescents are asked to suppress a compelling response or to look away from a target have shown less focal prefrontal recruitment than in adults (Casey et al., 1995; Luna et al., 2001; Durston et al., 2006). These studies provide insights into the role of prefrontal circuitry in behavior regulation across development, but they do not speak to the heightened sensitivity of adolescents to rewards and emotional cues.
Several research teams (May et al., 2004; Ernst et al., 2005; Galvan et al., 2006; Geier et al., 2010; Van Leijenhorst et al., 2010) have examined brain systems involved in reward to address this issue. Their studies (Bjork et al., 2004) have shown enhanced sensitivity to rewards in adolescents, relative to children and adults. For example, Van Leijenhorst and colleagues (2010) showed exaggerated ventral striatal responses in adolescents during the anticipation and receipt of a monetary reward. The magnitude of activity in this region is associated with real-world behavior. Specifically, greater ventral striatal activity to rewards is predictive of risk-taking tendencies (Galvan et al., 2007).

Holiday sales rise on discounts, online shoppingBy ANNE DINNOCENZIO
and JOSH BOAK
the associated press | January 15,2014ap file photo
People shop in Colma, Calif. during the recent holiday season.NEW YORK Holiday shoppers were more than willing to spend during the holiday season, if they saw big discounts or were shopping online.
Sales rose 3.8 percent from last year for November and December combined, according to the National Retail Federations analysis of federal figures. That was a healthy gain in a season that kept merchants worried right up until Christmas as people held off on spending.
That caution and increased online shopping made the holiday less festive at the mall. Shoppers stayed away from many traditional destinations like department stores and electronics stores.
The sales increase came in just shy of the trade groups forecast of a 3.9 percent gain. It was better than the 3.5 percent increase in 2012 and the 3.3 percent average for the past 10 years.
It was a knock-down, drag-out battle between retailers to see who could discount the most to generate the most traffic, said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics LLC, a research firm.
For retailers, those discounts came straight out of their profits. Many have cut their forecasts for the fourth quarter, and profits are expected to be the weakest since second quarter of 2009, when the economy was coming out of the Great Recession.
Perkins estimates that fourth-quarter profits will fall 0.7 percent from last year, the first decline since a 6.7 percent drop seen during the second quarter of 2009, according to his tally of 120 retailers.
January is already off to a slow start. Some stores like Express Inc. and Lululemon Athleta have said weak January sales are compounding their holiday-season woes. Express said it plans to continue heavy sales promotions, which it expects to last through the month.
The consumer is fatigued and taking a break, Perkins said.
Retailers fiscal year typically ends in late January or early February to include the pre-Christmas and post-Christmas seasons. A lot is at stake. November and December account for 20 percent of the retail industrys annual sales, on average.
Jack Kleinhenz, economist at the National Retail Federation, agrees that the holiday season was challenging.
It ended on a solid pace, but it was tempered by consumers selectivity and preference to discounts, he said.
The National Retail Federations figures include online sales but exclude sales at automotive dealers, gas stations and restaurants
Theyre extrapolated from Commerce Department retail sales figures, which were also released Tuesday.
That report showed retail sales rose 0.2 percent in December compared with November. That followed strong gains in October and November, helped by healthy auto sales.
According to the National Retail Federations analysis of holiday business, sales rose 3 percent in November and 4.6 percent in December from a year earlier.
The results highlight how Americans shopping habits are changing, posing challenges for retailers in 2014.
Over the past few months, people have been buying cars and appliances, as they take advantage of lower interest rates and replace worn-out models. That has left less room to buy more discretionary items. In a stronger economy, people could do both.
Another issue for traditional retailers: shoppers continuing shift to online shopping.
David Haskins, 32, of Greenville, N.C. did almost all his buying online this holiday, up from about half last year. He avoided department stores and bought a camera at Best Buy only because it matched an online price that was $200 cheaper.MORE IN National / World BusinessBEIJING Shares in big state companies soared Monday after promises of government action to...

Workers at Express Scripts, Inc. facilities in Bensalem, PA - members of SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania - voted overwhelmingly yesterday and today to ratify a settlement agreement that will preserve approximately 400 jobs at the Street Road facility, reversing the Company's announcement of plans to shutter all of its Bensalem operations.
In addition to maintaining most of the company's workforce at the Street Road facility in Bensalem, the settlement provides a substantial severance package to approximately 500 workers facing layoff as a result of the closure of the Marshall Lane facility and some downsizing at Street Road.
The settlement resolves a months-long conflict between the company and the Union. Express Scripts is the country's 2nd largest pharmacy benefit manager, and SEIU is the largest labor union in North America.
"This settlement will keep hundreds of good jobs here in Bensalem, and make sure anyone who gets laid off will be able to provide for their families in this harsh economy," said Linda Chan, a Pharmacy Tech at the Marshall Lane facility, and a member of the union bargaining committee.
In mid-October, the company announced it would close the Marshall Lane facility on December 16th, 2010. Then, following the workers' overwhelming rejection of the company's previous final settlement offer, Express Scripts announced it would close the Street Road facility effective February 1st, 2011.
SEIU members have engaged in a national campaign to garner support and urge Express Scripts to maintain quality jobs in Bensalem.
The 2-year agreement approved today:
• Rescinds the company's decision to close the Street Road facility and maintains approximately 400 jobs there, with a commitment to keep the facility open over the life of the agreement.
• Maintains affordable, family health care in the workers' current health insurance plan.
• Reinstates, with back pay, the three workers who were suspended for activity in support of the fight to save these jobs.
• Provides a substantial severance package for workers being laid off - including a lump sum payment of $10,000 plus an additional week of pay for every year of service up to 10 weeks. In addition, workers will receive 5 months of employer-paid health care benefits or an additional $5,000 in severance pay, at employees' option. For an employee earning $12 per hour, the severance package is the equivalent of up to 10 months and 1 week of full pay.
• Gives recall rights for laid off workers if the facility reopens in the future.
"This has been a very difficult challenge. I am saddened that many people who helped build this company are being laid off. But by sticking together we saved 400 good jobs for this community and won an excellent severance package for laid off workers that most non-union workers could only dream about," said Rickie Stemley, a Pharmacy Tech at the Marshall Lane facility.
"I am proud that we were able to save these jobs," said Pam Rogers, President of the union at the two facilities. "The support we got from the community, other labor unions and people across the country was overwhelming."

Hello! I am interested in the fam mostly because it avoids hormones and avoids placing anything inside me (read stories about iuds migrating). I really want to use this form of bith control. Has anyone had success as a birth control? Are there any things that I should know and could mess up? Also I was wondering what I could do during the fertile times. My husband doesnt like condoms at all and am wondering if there is another option. Also he doesnt like the idea of abstaining during my fertile period (and using a condom for that matter) and then during my period.....he has a high sex drive and desire...probably like all men. Please help me and give me any info you can!!!
Fertility Awareness Method...anyone done or tried it?

Posted 01/26/2012
I've been charting and learning how to do for FAM until just last month when we decided to TTC. You could try a diaphragm during your fertile periods if you think your husband wouldn't mind it. To learn more about FAM, get the book Taking Control of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler.

Til Tuesday Artist Bio and Lyrics
The '80s new wave band Til Tuesday was formed early in the decade in Boston. The band's original line up consisted of Aimee Mann on bass and vocals, Michael Hausman on drums, Joey Pesce on keyboards, and Robert Holmes on guitars and vocals. The band achieved their first success six months after their formation, when it won the WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble in Boston. Their song "Love in a Vacuum" received heavy airplay on the radio station. Til Tuesday was eventually signed to the Epic Records label. "Love in a Vacuum" was re-recorded for their debut album, Voices Carry. But it was the album's title track that proved to be the band's breakthrough song.
"Voices Carry" made it to Number Eight on the Billboard charts in the United States. The song is said to be a result of an argument between Mann and Hausman, who had previously been involved but broke up right before the album came out. The record label was unhappy with the fact that the song was written and performed by Mann as though she were singing to another woman.
Despite this fact, "Voices Carry" became a staple on the early days of MTV. The video for the song would win Til Tuesday an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist. After the release of their 1988 album Everything's Different Now, Til Tuesday disbanded.
The albums of Til Tuesday include Voices Carry, Welcome Home, Everything's Different Now, and Coming Up Close: A Retrospective.

Publisher's Description
Since September 11, 2001, we are intensely aware of the need for political wisdom. Can Scripture help us in this respect? Yes, but not simplistically. In an exhilarating dialogue with Oliver ODonovan, a team of international scholars look in detail in this book at biblical interpretation as we make the journey from what God said to Abraham, as it were, to how to respond to the political challenges of today. Such exploration is essential if the church is to become "a royal priesthood" today. Craig Bartholomew Contributors include: Oliver ODonovan (respondent to 14 chapters) Gilbert Meilaender Christopher Rowland Bernd Wannenwetsch N. T. Wright A Royal Priesthood? is the third volume from the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar. This annual gathering of Christian scholars from various disciplines was established in 1998 and aims to reassess the discipline of biblical studies from the foundations up and forge creative new ways for reopening the Bible in our cultures. Any attempt to open the Book in new and fresh ways for our cultures at the start of the third millennium must explore how to read the Bible ethically and politically. This volume looks at the obstacles to such a process and in dialogue with Oliver ODonovans creative work in this regard, looks in detail at how to read different parts of the Bible for ethics and politics. A unique element of the book is Oliver ODonovans 14 responses to individual chapters. Volume 1, Renewing Biblical Interpretation and Volume 2, After Pentecost, are also published by Paternoster Press and Zondervan.

Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 9/23/12
The University of Florida football team laid a beatdown to the University of Kentucky, 38-0, in the Swamp on Saturday. The Gators improved to 4-0 with the victory, however, experienced a scary moment late in the second quarter when receiver Jordan Reed was the recipient of a vicious hit by two UK defenders.
Reed, streaking down the center of the field, caught a pass from QB Jeff Driskel, and while securing the catch was hit simultaneously by two Wildcat defenders in the process. The hit was so violent that it dislodged Reed's helmet nearly five yards in the opposite direction. Somehow Reed managed to hang on to the ball and dust himself off as if nothing had ever happened.
UK safety Mikie Benton was flagged for a penalty and it's likely that both Wildcats could face suspension from the SEC for their actions.

Hydrodynamic limits for kinetic equations and the diffusive approximation of radiative transport for acoustic waves
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We consider a class of kinetic equations, equipped with a single conservation law, which generate -contractions. We discuss the hydrodynamic limit to a scalar conservation law and the diffusive limit to a (possibly) degenerate parabolic equation. The limits are obtained in the ``dissipative'' sense, equivalent to the notion of entropy solutions for conservation laws, which permits the use of the perturbed test function method and allows for simple proofs. A general compactness framework is obtained for the diffusive scaling in . The radiative transport equations, satisfied by the Wigner function for random acoustic waves, present such a kinetic model that is endowed with conservation of energy. The general theory is used to validate the diffusive approximation of the radiative transport equation.

That is a good shot of the modified 125, Dad, and me I guess. That 125 has a high dome piston from some lot more late model multi-cylinder honda street bike, which fits rod and stroke just right. and we didn't have to do a lot of machining on the cylinder, more or less just bore it a little, from (my) memory of when gathering up the parts to do this, quite a while back I might add.
FWIW, there was talk early on in this project about a 175/or so kit, but I guess there was a lot of trick machining to be done on original cylinder/head all that, or find bigger bore cylinder/head and adopt it to this bike. As you can see, we'd opted to just do this simpler mod, for a "rider" bike. Very happy with how it runs, more than a 125... If you like 4 strokes.
Dad thinks he got the weight down, removing stuff that is not essential (some was done by previous owner, from MWTA. so giving credit). We changed the rake on the front. BTW, It still has a kickstand, but you can see much other non essentails are gone. It now weighs to something like 170 (he had it wrote down but we cant find it, so figure +- 5 pounds, simply because I didn't believe him when he said he thought was in the 160+ lbs range...) LOL trying to keep my credibility if I post that, you know...
I usually forget to smile, then regret the shot, this time I might have overdone the smile though... It was windy as hell, and he never said "cheese" lol... Sigh.

Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison - Good opening match. But I think we all knew Ziggler was going to win. As if Morrison apparently heading towards unemployment wasn't bad enough, the guy has to hear how much the MSG crowd wanted Ryder in the match instead of him. Ryder coming out was the only thing that kept the crowd from chanting Morrison out of the building with the "Na na na, na na na,
