Jane G. Gendron, chapter executive at the American Red Cross of Northern New York, is calling the inaugural Heroes fund campaign a success, although it has yet to close.
While the goal was to raise $10,000 from March 1 to June 30, the agency has collected more than $5,000 thus far. Money keeps coming in. No matter how much is collected, Mrs. Gendron said, its still a success because its a new revenue stream. Itll be used for our disaster and emergency relief services, she said. We support clients with an overnight stay in a motel, food and help them get back on their feet. Our year-to-date total, since July 1, is $81,918 across the three counties.
She said that helped 85 families, with a total 261 people, who were involved in house fires in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
The agency receives local financial help from the United Way, a state employees campaign, corporate donors and individual donors.
In 2012, the agencys expenses were $387,950, and its income was $391,995. Mrs. Gendron said the goal is always to break even, but if a cushion is left over, that will go toward helping more people in need.
It looks like well be running very close in 2013, she said. Definitely, the dollars donated are used locally. That all doesnt include money raised for Hurricane Sandy relief.
She said 91 cents out of every dollar raised goes toward agency programs and services. With few people on staff, the Northern New York chapter relies heavily on volunteers. A large number of them are involved with the local disaster relief services efforts and respond to the scene of a house fire.
Mrs. Gendron said she is happy with the success of the campaign thus far and knows the total amount raised will continue to climb throughout the week, as a total for funds raised online wont be calculated until Monday.
People can contribute by dropping off cash or a check, made payable to American Red Cross of NNY with Heroes campaign in the memo line, to the agency. Checks also may be mailed to American Red Cross of NNY, 203 N. Hamilton St., Watertown, N.Y. 13601. Donations may be made online by visiting the Red Cross website, www.redcross.org.

GIMP 2.8 Release Notes
GIMP 2.8 is the result of three years of hard work and collaborative development. This version of GIMP is equipped with a wealth of new features, including some highly requested ones. Keep reading to find out exactly what GIMP 2.8 has to offer you in areas such as the user interface, tools, and plug-ins.
User Interface
Single-Window Mode
GIMP 2.8 introduces an optional single-window mode. You can toggle between the default multi-window mode and the new single-window mode through the Single-window mode checkbox in the Windows menu. In single-window mode, GIMP will put dockable dialogs and images in a single, tabbed image window. The single-window mode setting is of course preserved if you quit and start GIMP again. Single-window mode removes the necessity for users of having to deal with multiple windows. Developers: Martin Nordholts, Michael Natterer Interaction Architect: Peter Sikking
Multi-Column Dock Windows
GIMP 2.8 allows dockable dialogs in a dock window to be placed in multiple columns. To create a new column in a dock window, drag and drop a dockable dialog on the vertical edges of the dock window. This is an appealing feature for multi-monitor users where one screen can have a big dock window with all the dialogs and the tools, while all images are on other displays. Developer: Martin Nordholts Interaction Architect: Peter Sikking
More Screen Real Estate For Dockable Dialogs
The docking bars have been removed and replaced with overlaid highlights. The dockable drag handle has been removed and the dockable menu button has been moved up to the tabs. A new Automatic tab style has been added which makes dockable tabs use the available space. Developer: Martin Nordholts
Save And Export
A rather big conceptual change is that saving and exporting images now are clearly separated activities. Saving an image can only be done in the XCF format which is GIMP's native file format, able to save all kinds of information necessary for works in progress.
To export into other formats File->Export... needs to be used. This distinction makes it clearer if all available information is stored in a file, or not. There are some optimizations for alternative workflows such as opening a jpg, polishing it, and quickly exporting back to the original file. This conceptual change has also allowed us to get rid of the annoying dialogs that warned about the flatting of images when saving to non-layered formats. Developer: Martin Nordholts Interaction Architect: Peter Sikking
Layer Groups
For complex compositions, a flat layer structure is very limiting. GIMP 2.8 lets users organize their compositions better through the introduction of layer groups which allow layers to be organized in tree-like structures. Layer groups are fully scriptable through the GIMP plug-in API. Developer: Michael Natterer
Tools Drawn With Cairo
All tools rendering on canvas have been ported to Cairo to provide smooth antialiased graphics and make GIMP's look and feel match modern users expectations. All but a few plug-ins have been ported over to Cairo as well. Additionally all tools now use an on-canvas progress indicator instead of the one in the statusbar. Developer: Michael Natterer
On-Canvas Text Editing
Text editing with the Text Tool is now performed on-canvas instead of in a separate window. The editing on-canvas is rather sophisticated: apart from the usual text formatting features like font family, style and size selectors you get numeric control over baseline offset and kerning, as well as the ability to change text color for a selection. You can also use a combination of Alt and arrow keys to change baseline offset and kerning. This feature was originally developed during Google Summer of Code 2008 and heavily improved since. Developers: Daniel Eddeland, Michael Natterer
Keyboard Shortcut Changes
Since the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+E and Ctrl+Shift+E have been repurposed for the image export mechanisms, new keyboard shortcuts have been setup for 'Shrink Wrap' and 'Fit in Window', namely Ctrl+J and Ctrl+Shift+J respectively. Developer: Martin Nordholts
Simple Math In Size Entries
Enhancements have also been made to the size entry widget, which is used for inputting most of the x, y, width, height parameters. For example, in the scale dialog it is now possible to write '50%' in the Width field to scale the image to 50% of the width. Expressions such as '30in + 40px' and '4 * 5.4in' work, too. Developer: Fredrik Alströmer
Minor Changes
- Added 'Windows→Hide docks' menu item that does what 'Tab' does and also displays its state, which is now persistent across sessions, too.
- Added infrastructure allowing to embed user interface elements on the canvas. This is currently used for text styles in the text tool, and (experimentally) when a color correction tool is invoked while the canvas is in full-screen mode.
- To make dock window titles manageable, only show the active dockable in the dock window title.
- The layer modes have been rearranged into more logical and useful groups based on the effect they have on compositing of a layer. Layer modes that make the composite lighter are in one group, layer modes that make the composite darker in another group, and so forth.
- You can now Alt+Click on layers in the Layers dialog to create a selection from it. Add, subtract and intersect modifiers Ctrl, Shift and Ctrl+Shift keys work too. This makes it easy to compose contents of a layer based on the contents of other layers, without detours.
- New docks are created at the pointer position.
- Removed Toolbox from list of Recently Closed Docks, handle that directly in the Windows menu.
- Allow closing the toolbox without closing the whole application.
- Default to non-fixed-aspect in Canvas Size dialog.
- In the Preferences dialog, only have one setting for the window hint for both the toolbox and the docks.
- Support arbitrary affine transforms of brushes.
- Got rid of the Tools dockable and move toolbox configuration to Preferences.
- A question that often arises is how to change the UI language in GIMP, which has traditionally been a bit cumbersome. Not any longer, it is now possible to change the language in Preferences.
- Added 'Lock content' button to the layers, channels and paths dialogs, made the lock buttons more compact.
- Allow renaming list items with F2.
- Allow binding arbitrary actions to extra mouse buttons.
Developers: Michael Natterer, Martin Nordholts, Alexander Jones, Alexia Death, Sven Neumann
Tools & Plug-ins
Brush System Improvements
The brush dynamics engine has been expanded considerably, making almost all aspects of the brush engine drivable by a multitude of inputs, all of them configurable with their own response curve.
Because of the expansion, dynamics were separated from tool options and converted into a resource in their own right. The Google Summer of Code 2009 Advanced GUI for Brush Dynamics project was the start of its development. Developers: Alexia Death, Michael Natterer, Zhenfeng Zhao
Tool Preset Improvements
You can now save existing state of any tool as a preset and give it a meaningful name. The presets are accessible from a new Tool Presets dockable dialog and additionally can be tagged so that you can easily manage a lot of presets.
This new feature completely replaces the previously existing tool presets system to a new level of accessibility. It also makes it possible to distribute tool presets just like any other resource because each preset is saved as an individual file. Developers: Michael Natterer, Alexia Death
Cage Transform Tool
A completely new Cage transform tool has been added thanks to the excellent work of one of our Google Summer of Code 2010 students. The tool implements an innovative approach to free transformation and makes it possible to easily warp parts of objects using an adjustable user-defined polygonal frame. Developer: Michael Muré
File Plug-Ins
A plug-in for loading JPEG2000 images has been added, as well as plug-ins for X11 Mouse Cursor files and fundamental OpenRaster (.ora) import and export support. Added RGB565 support to the csource plug-in. Developers: Aurimas Juška, Takeshi Matsuyama
A Cairo based PDF exporter was implemented. While being somewhat simplistic the exporter saves text, embedding fonts into the final PDF file, and attempts to convert all flat filled areas to vector objects. Developer: Barak Itkin
Last, but not least, a Web-page plug-in was added to render any web page into an image using Webkit. Developer: Mukund Sivaraman
For Tablet Users
A new experimental widget was added to meet the requirements of graphic tablets users. The widget combines a slider, a label and a numeric value control which simplifies adjusting a value using a stylus, better visualizes the current value and provides a more compact UI. It is now used in the Tools Options dockable dialog for opacity control and most options of brush based tools.
Another useful feature for users of advanced input devices such as graphic tablets is a completely new dialog for input device configuration which allows configuring per-device pressure curves to compensate for hardware differences and personal per-pen preferences.
People with Intuos tablets and either Artpen or Airbrush styluses will be glad to find that Airbrush wheel and Artpen rotation are available for driving dynamics via the 'Wheel' input. Developers: Michael Natterer, Alexia Death
Resource Tagging
It is now possible to tag GIMP resources such as brushes and patterns to group them. The tagging is performed from the respective dockables e.g. the Brushes dockable, and it is possible to filter resources based on these tags.
The tags are saved to an XML file, external to the data files themselves. It is possible to tag multiple resources simultaneously in the UI, but currently only while being viewed as a list. This feature was developed during Google Summer of Code 2008. Developer: Aurimas Juška Interaction Architect: Peter Sikking
We have started overhauling the default set of resources and in this version there have been some changes to the default set of brushes. The silly 'Untitled' title has been removed from unnamed palette entries. A wholly new set of brushes for painting has been added and makes use of the new tagging system. Developer: Martin Nordholts Artists: Johannes Engelhardt, Ramón Miranda, Guillermo Espertino
Minor Changes
- Allow specifying the written language in the Text Tool. This helps with choosing an appropriate font, or appropriate glyphs for the selected language.
- Moved 'Text along path' from tool options to the text context menu.
- Add diagonal guides to the Crop Tool.
- Support rotating brushes.
- The Smooth Stroke feature from GIMP Painter was ported to GIMP.
- Added 'Rule of fifths' crop guide overlay.
- Added an icon for the Desaturate tool.
- Support loading 16bit (RGB565) raw data.
- Added palette exporter for CSS, PHP, Python, txt and Java, accessed through the palette context menu.
- Support printing crop marks for images.
- Made the Pointer dockable show information about selection position and size.
- Replaced the brush scale control in tool options by a brush size one that works in pixels, and does the right thing when the brush changes.
- Improved the Free Select Tool on-canvas feedback.
- Made it possible to use GEGL for scaling images.
Developers: Sven Neumann, Michael Natterer, Tim Jedlicka, Alexia Death, Nelson A. de Oliveira, Jakub Steiner, Nicholas Doyle, Barak Itkin, Martin Nordholts
Plug-in Development
GIMP 2.8 also further enhances its scripting abilities. For example, API changes to support layer groups have been made. Here is a list of new symbols in GIMP 2.8.
API Changes
A lot of GIMP APIs have been refactored to simplify developing new scripts.
The GIMP license has been changed to (L)GPLv3+.
The projection code which composes a single image from layers has been ported to GEGL. This includes the layer modes, as well as support for layer groups. Also, preparations have been made for better and more intuitive handling of the floating selection. Developers: Michael Natterer, Martin Nordholts
The GIMP developers now maintain a roadmap for GIMP development found here: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Roadmap
GIMP 2.8 Screenshots
Known Regressions
GIMP 2.8 relies on a newer version of GTK+2 that unfortunately has partially broken support for graphics tablets such as Wacom. If your graphic tablet doesn't work in GIMP 2.8 as it should, we recommend downgrading to 2.6 until we release GIMP 3.0 that relies on GTK+3 which has fully functional support for advanced input devices.
To address the needs to migrate from the old tools presets system to the new one we provide a script in Python. However, the old tools presets are not 100% convertible to the new tool presets. For instance, brush scale from 2.6 can't be converted to brush size in 2.8.
Download and install pre-made packages
GIMP can be downloaded directly from our Downloads section.
Please be very cautious when downloading from anywhere else - some sites use GIMP's popularity to lure unwary users into their traps by shipping modified installer packages.
Building GIMP yourself from source
GIMP 2.8 must not be installed in the same prefix as other GIMP 2.x versions. If you want to keep your GIMP 2.6 installation in parallel to GIMP 2.8, you have to choose a separate installation prefix at compile-time and ensure that you use different library search paths for each version. If you do not set up your environment differently for each version, you will experience conflicts with the libraries and at least one version is likely to fail.
Also, do not install GIMP 2.8 to /usr/local because on most systems, its libraries would override the libraries of a stable GIMP 2.6 installed into /usr, breaking your distribution-installed GIMP from slightly to completely. The same applies to any prefix your system uses for the purpose or overriding things in /usr/lib.
You install the new version into a separate prefix, say /opt/gimp-2.8 by passing --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8 to the configure script. Then, in order to run the binary installed there, you change your environment to look for executables in /opt/gimp-2.8/bin by setting PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin and you tell your linker to pick up libraries from /opt/gimp-2.8/lib by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib. Do not forget to export both variables.
You can use a tiny wrapper script called gimp-2.8 and place it into /usr/local/bin or elsewhere in your PATH. The script would look something like this:
#!/bin/sh PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin:$PATH export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/gimp-2.8/bin/gimp-2.8 "$@"
If you think you found a bug in a development version, please make sure that it hasn't been already reported. Search Bugzilla before filing a new bug-report. Here are some interesting Bugzilla queries:
We need your help to make GIMP 2.8 a success. If you want to join us hacking, show up in #gimp or introduce yourself on the gimp-developer mailing-list. We are also looking for people to look after the web-site and update the tutorials. Or you might want to join the documentation team.

Cuttino Mobley
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 10/11/08, 04:32pm:
Cuttino Mobley emerged from the tumult of the Clippers' offseason as second to only Chris Kaman in longevity with the Clippers. In this morning's Los Angeles Times, veteran columnist Bill Dwyre pens a glowing portrayal of Mobley as an unheralded former second-round pick who, for his workmanlike consistency and mastery of the little things, is deserving -- but rarely a recipient -- of the spotlight:
When [Mobley] came to the Clippers, so did Sam Cassell, and there has never been a spotlight Cassell didn't dominate. And now that he has gone, as well as Corey Maggette and Elton Brand, the Clippers have filled those spots in the bright lights with Davis and Camby.Mobley is in an interesting spot this season. In some respects, he has more responsiblity than ever. Depending on whether Dunleavy occasionally chooses to slide Baron Davis over to pick up some difficult defensive assignments at the 2 [doubtful, but not beyond the realm of possibilty], Cat emerges as the team's only real defensive stopper on the perimeter.
Which leaves Mobley right where he has usually been -- a very good, not very famous player in a city where fans worship stars more than they assess talent.
None of which bothers Mobley.
John Hollinger, in his 2008-09 player profiles, has some nice things to say about Mobley -- even as Hollinger points out that "in truth [Mobley]'s a bit of a stretch as a starter at this point." Hollinger notes that Mobley excels as a post-up guard, something we've seen repeatedly over the years, and a feature that's consistent with what Dunleavy likes to see in his guards:
Mobley loves to perch on the right block for a turnaround and is quite good at it. Last year he took 104 shots from post-up range on the right side of the floor, an enormous total for a 6-4 guard who was a secondary offensive player.
Only four guards shot more from there (Kobe Bryant, Richard Hamilton, Andre Miller and Chris Paul), and Mobley took 29.3 percent of his total attempts from that spot, which not only was the most in the league but was also the most since 2005. And while many players struggle from that distance, Mobley hit 47.1 percent.
Really interesting data, don't you think?
Not to harp on this point because I concede that there are good counter-arguments, but the Clips -- who consist of three exceptional post-up starters, one spot-up shooter, and one strong iso slasher -- are a very, very strong halfcourt team. Again, that's not to say they shouldn't maximize their opportunities in transition, but the Clips could potentially be a match-up nightmare in a controlled offense, particularly against smaller teams. Might make for more boring basketball, but it's a dynamic they'd be crazy not to exploit.

More people earn their living in business than in any other field of endeavor. Regardless of
their basic training--whether it be in design, social services, health fields, the arts or a
vocational area--most persons seeking employment turn to private business. The profit or loss
within a company can depend on good business "know-how." Even those who do not earn their living
through business enterprise directly (such as lawyer, small business owner and government employee)
usually find it necessary to know something about business operations. Hence, the importance of
business administration can hardly be overemphasized.
Consult a counselor or academic adviser for recommended courses specific to student's choice of
transfer institution.
You MUST take the following Business Classes to have junior standing in business departments when you transfer.

The north country has been successful in the last two rounds of the states regional economic development program and is hoping to strike gold again this year.
The third round of the program, administered through 10 Regional Economic Development Councils, was announced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday and local officials already are prepared to pounce on the $220 million in capital funding and tax credits and $540 million available for state-supported programs in the 2013 competition.
In December, the North Country Regional Economic Development Council was named a top performer and awarded $90.2 million in state funds for 82 projects.
This year, the Tug Hill Commission, which works with small municipalities in the region, has been preparing its constituent communities for months.
The Consolidated Funding Application that was developed in conjunction with the councils is a key to the coffers.
The application was a major topic at the commissions recent Local Government Conference.
It has streamlined the approach to funding projects but can be a challenge from the perspective of the municipal official applying for the funds, said Katie H. Malinowski, associate director of natural resources for the Tug Hill Commission.
Instead of a series of programs with staggered deadlines, the process now involves a single application, a single portal, which condenses your time for writing, Ms. Malinowski said.
Application materials will be available by June 3 and the program will be open to applicants June 17. Submissions must be turned in to regional councils by Sept. 24.
Weve been working with smaller communities to let them know. Those with no paid staff, it can be harder for them to figure out, Ms. Malinowski said.
This year, $220 million $150 million in capital and $70 million in tax credits will be up for grabs via competition and $540 million will be available for state-supported programs through the application process.
James W. Wright, executive director of the Development Authority of the North Country and a member of the council, said that though the council has not yet seen any details on the process, he expects it to be basically the same as last year.
Part of ensuring continued success, Mr. Wright said, is to work to see that projects awarded money during earlier rounds of the program are completed.
The north country was also named a best plan awardee in 2011 and received $103.2 million for projects.
Among them: $4 million for the development of community rental housing in the area of Fort Drum and $3 million to support the construction of the Clayton hotel along the St. Lawrence River.
According to Mr. Wright, those projects are proceeding apace, with the first of seven four-story apartment buildings at COR Development Co.s Beaver Meadows Apartments, behind Target off outer Arsenal Street, set to open at the end of the month and developers aiming for a Memorial Day 2014 opening of the Clayton Harbor Hotel project at the former Frink America site.
The Regional Economic Development Council has brought in $193.4 million for 152 projects in the north country since its inception.
The governor created the councils and the application in 2011 in an effort to change the model for economic development in the state.
The councils are doing what the governor envisioned, Mr. Wright said.

LeTort Spring Run 10/15/13. It's really looking like fall now, and I've been stocking up on streamers as well as trying some new ones. My Orvis package arrived with a few new Motos Minnows that I've read many good reviews about in light gray and brown. As I arrived at the upper LeTort I quickly noticed that the water levels were up but clear. I tied my Moto Minnow to a 10 foot leader tapered to 4x, and started at the top of Quarry Meadow and worked my way downstream. The meadow was a bit flooded more than usual and i took adavante of the high water to test my new streamer. I casted the fly in to the water to see how it looked, and it looked great like all the other Maribous, but the colors and form were very exact to a real minnow. I really took my time today, and just fished the deeper likely areas that a big ol Brown would be up to no good in. Right along the near bank I gave a few twitches and moments later a nice 12-13 inch brown was released and one missed in the Quarry. On my way back up to Bonnybrook parking lot, I tryed the streamer where the left branch meets the right branch and was rewarded with 1 more 9" brown and missed one. After a nice walk up through Tregos meadow, I was off to fish the lower LeTort. I kept my streamer setup on with the Moto minnow and walked far upstream from the sport emporium, and again started stripping and swinging my streamer in the high water downstream which produced 3 more wild browns of about 12-13" each, plus one taken on a Shenk white minnow Sz 12. Before getting on the turnpike I thought I would check out the mouth of the LeTort where it flows into the condoguinet, (I've never felt the need to fish in this section), and saw about 5 bait fisherman trying to catch and keep those legendary letort wild browns. The falls were nice though, and I saw a hatch of tan caddis and little olives that could of put the Little J up for a run for its money. They were everywhere coming off the condoguinet and flying upstream of the letort, however I saw no rising fish and was only just watching, I've not seen such a concentrated hatch like that in awhile.

I picked up a few Moto Minnows last fall and have had good success everywhere I fished it. My favorite streamer is Shenk's white minnow and while somewhat similar in color, the Moto Minnow has a fuller profile and, I believe, appeals to fish looking for a bigger meal.

I agree, if it can catch more than a few trout on the LeTort, I usually tie/order a dozen and it will be a permanent in my fly box.

The Mouth of the LeTort is often my go to location. A staging area to meet others or just a familiar spot for me to chill / meditate. (In the Summer...don't go there unless you want to fight the water churning crowds of swimmers and kayaks. Muskie and Bass can be successfully targeted then.)
The hatches can be very intense. Caddis and Hexagenia can make you stop fishing due to the volume colliding with your face. If you wear a white shirt...they land all over you. Winter black stonefly hatches are awesome. Small LeTort Browns are often actively rising over 200 yards of the confluence.
Above the falls offers the most diverse terrain on the LeTort. It is just another facet of the Run. As the weather changes, you should make it a point to go this last half mile of the Run. Post Spawn...It's On!
The people I see bait fishing there often do not even know trout are around. A month ago, I witnessed one fine gentleman and his dripping wet herd, proudly carrying his stringer of fallfish and suckers to his truck. He stated how he fillets them and cooks them in butter. I have found chicken liver there also. As I have stated previously, "meat keepers" do target trout there when the word is out. I tell them to go to the Breeches to eat.
With the colder weather the people disappear. The fish reappear.
Motos and bigger streamers on minimum 4X.

NS, I've seen some of the pics of the browns that you've caught at that section that were very nice. Do the little black stoneflys appear earlier than Feburary on the Letort?

That moto fly seems like a lot of work. Why not just palmer white marabou and be done with it.

tough to beat the simplicity of Shenk's White Minnow imo. the right profile, the right motion, the right amount of chewiness. I'd like to find some in a color other than white, though.
The Motos Minnow looks like a Sculpzilla to me, only using marabou instead of rabbit fur. Especially with that tungsten cone head. After all the time I spent chucking weight into the wind in Colorado last week, I'm like "give me a spinning rod, already." Not only that, I missed every fish that took on a streamer. They all shook off within a couple of seconds.
And the Yampa muddied up on me. Which was interesting- I spent a couple of fruitless hours swinging streamers on a long line through murky pools along the seams before I finally figured out what many of you already know: shortline a streamer on a tight line past bank-hugging fish in undercuts instead. Still got no fish to hand, but I got them to strike.
(I got all of my fish in Colorado on dries, on a little meadow stream not much different from Falling Springs. All browns, the best around 14". Not super classic Colorado big-fish action, but plenty of fun.)

Tye them?
Trout are dumb. Do you really think that they only hit certain streamers?
I think presentation trumps pattern so much more with streamers than in other baits of fly fishing. Color may be second to size in the overall scheme of things.
Keep in mind, I have no idea what I am talking about.

The very best thing you can do to convey trustworthiness is be genuine. And if you can't, just fake it.

Trout may be dumb in alot of the starved freestoners, but some spring creeks, you would think these trout are smart. There has been plenty of occasions where my muddler didn't work, and my bugger took all the glory.

On my way home from working in southern Huntingdon County today spun off the T.P. at Carlisle to hit the Letort. I tried to do the math and I think it had been 28+ years since I actually fished the Letort. I checked out the mouth (took a few photos at the falls) and fished the outflow of the Letort into the Conodoguinet. Had a couple of quick hits in the Connie but very effectively missed everything. Then I went up to the Bonniebrook parking area and fished up through the meadow above the bridge. The water was flowing good and was very clear, I didn't even see a trout. The sunny skies and stiff breeze also made it even more challenging. I fully expected to get skunked because history has proved that this stream has done nothing but kick my butt! I tried to fish one of my sculpin patterns in the deeper runs between the weeds, but to no avail. However, it was great just to get back to the Letort, sneak around a bit and wet a line. What a gorgeous stream!

Any particular reason why so many who speak of the Letort on this message board seem to spend their time in the special reg area when the fish population numbers and abundance of large trout are higher outside of the special reg area?

Part 1,"'Die!' Censoring Game Violence"
"Blood, Sex, and Politics in Video Games: How Censorship Is Done (or Not)" Part 1,"'Die!' Censoring Game Violence" MIT GAMBIT Game Lab researcher Konstantin MItgutsch , brilliant as he is, can't figure out how video games are rated. And that's saying something, given that Mitgutsch is a scientific board member of Europe's game-ratings group, Pan European Game Information (PEGI). "Game content rating system like the Entertainment Software Rating Board and PEGI were established to help educators and parents to make informed decisions on buying computer games," Mitgutsch says as an introduction to three videos he and colleagues at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab are releasing about U.S. and European ratings systems. "But both groups have three core problems." First [mistake about playability]... Second [cultural differences]... Third [lack of context]... For the videos, GAMBIT researchers invited members of the local video game industry, academia, and journalism to discuss various topics of game censorship -- violence, sex, and politics. Mitgutsch is incorporating this research into a report for PEGI suggesting changes to the European ratings system. The first video in the series, "'Die!' Censoring Game Violence", will be released on Monday, March 28, 2011, with the second, "'Behave', Censoring Game Sex" to follow on April 4. The series will finish with "'(REDACTED)', Censoring Game Politics" on April 11. Videos can be seen at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab Website.

Jacks compete at Bradley...
The South Dakota State men's tennis team completed competition at the Bradley Classic on Sunday...
Many Jackrabbit competitors suffered close losses on the first day of singles competition, but looked to turn around those fortunes on the second day.
Parker Lawley dropped both of his matches Sunday in straight sets. He finished the classic at 1-3 overall, fourth among Flight 1 competitors.
In Flight 2, Andrea Boglić won the final match of his day over the opponent from Bradley, 6-2, 6-0. Boglić dropped his first match in a third-set super tiebreaker and finished the classic at 1-3 overall.
James Thorp battled through tiebreakers in two of his four sets, but suffered two straight-set losses in Flight 3 to finish 0-4.
In Flight 4, Lucas Pereira also lost two matches in straight sets and finished 0-4.
Henrique Pereira, the only Jackrabbit to play three matches on Saturday, dropped his lone Flight 5 match in a third-set super tiebreaker 6-3, 2-6, 10-0. He finished the classic at 0-4.
Mateus Moreira won the final match of his classic in Flight 6 over the opponent from DePauw 6-2, 7-6 (4). Moreira finished fourth with a 1-3 record.
In Flight 7, Luis Duque opened the day with a win over the opponent from DePauw 7-5, 6-7 (4), 10-5. He finished the classic at 1-3 and in fourth.
Luke Elifson followed suit in Flight 8, winning his final match of the classic over the opponent from Bradley. Elifson finished 1-3 and fourth.
"I was happier with the way we bounced back after so many close matches yesterday," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "Even though we did not have a great weekend with wins and losses, we were able to take baby steps forward and figure out exactly what we have to work on with this young team. I am happy to learn that we have the talent to compete at the top, now we just have to learn how to utilize our talent."
For complete results visit the 2012 Bradley Classic Tournament Central.
The Jacks return to action on Friday, Sept. 28, at the Omaha Collegiate Invite. Competition is scheduled all day in Omaha, Neb.
The South Dakota State men's tennis team continued competition at the Bradley Classic on Saturday...
Singles play opened at 9 a.m. with eight flights.
In Flight 1, Parker Lawley posted a 1-1 record on the day with a 6-3, 6-1 win over an opponent from Saint Louis. In his loss to the Bradley opponent, Lawley dropped the first set in a tiebreaker. Lawley plays two matches on Sunday.
Andrea Boglić dropped both of his matches in Flight 2 today in third-set super tiebreakers. Boglić lost 2-6, 6-3, 10-7 versus Saint Louis and 6-1, 4-6, 10-4 versus his IUPUI opponent. He also plays two matches tomorrow.
James Thorp posted similar results in Flight 3, coming up short in two matches. Thorp lost to his IUPUI opponent 7-5, 6-3 and his DePauw opponent 7-6 (5), 6-4. He plays two matches tomorrow, as well.
In Flight 4, Lucas Pereira suffered two straight-set losses to DePauw and Bradley. Pereira plays two matches on Sunday.
Henrique Pereira, the only Jackrabbit to play three of his five matches on Saturday, went 0-3 in Flight 5 despite a third-set super tiebreaker decision. Pereira lost to his IUPUI opponent 6-2, 2-6, 10-7. He plays only one match tomorrow.
Mateus Moreira battled hard in Flight 6, but finished 0-2 on the day. Both of his matches were decided in third-set super tiebreakers. Moreira dropped his match versus Bradley 0-6, 6-2, 10-8 and his match versus IUPUI 6-3, 6-7 (5), 10-8. Two matches remain for him on Sunday.
Luis Duque and Luke Elifson went 0-2 in Flight 7 and Flight 8, respectively. Both players lost both matches in straight sets.
"The good news today is that we had a bunch of close matches, but the bad news is we had a bunch of close matches," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "Multiple times we set ourselves up to win and we could not close the match. Our youth got the best of us too much today. We found out that we have the talent to compete against the top schools, but we have a lot of work to do, as well. Losing so many tight matches is going to give us a character check tomorrow and I am excited to see how the guys respond."
Play continues tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
The South Dakota State men's tennis team opened its fall season on Friday at the Bradley Classic...
Four flights of doubles started and concluded on Friday, to be followed by singles competition on Saturday and Sunday.
The top doubles team for SDSU was James Thorp and Andrea Boglić. The team posted a 2-2 record on the day with wins over teams from DePauw and Summit League foe IUPUI, both by 9-7 scores. The duo was a tiebreaker away from a 3-1 record, falling to the team from Saint Louis 9-8 (7-5).
Parker Lawley and Luke Elifson teamed up in Flight 2 for a 1-2 record. The pair opened the day with an 8-6 win over a team from IUPUI, but suffered two defeats to close the day, including a 9-8 (7-4) tiebreaker defeat at the hands of host Bradley.
Luis Duque and Henrique Pereira competed in the third flight and faced tough competition. The two were 0-3 on the day, dropping two matches by only one break of serve.
Flight Four doubles team Mateus Moreira and Lucas Pereira posted a 1-2 record with an 8-3 win over the team from Bradley.
"Overall we had a great day of doubles," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We had a lot of nerves with the new players in some tight matches that could have gone either way. Now that the first match jitters are out of the way, some of the close matches will definitely start falling our way. Last year we had five total wins at this tournament and we had five wins in the first day this year, so we are moving in the right direction."

PROVIDENCE – As he watched one Providence player after another foul out, Ed Cooley took a hard and long look at the available options on the bench.
What the head coach saw was his sophomore point guard in a finely tailored suit sitting alongside a collection of reserves that suddenly found themselves in the eye of the storm. With his options at a premium, Cooley motioned in the direction of Lee Goldsbrough and Ted Bancroft, hoping beyond belief that somehow, PC could survive this overtime session against Boston College.
Swapping Kadeem Batts and Josh Fortune for Goldsbrough and Bancroft may not seem like an even trade, but as Cooley emphatically stated after PC grinded out a 82-78 win over Boston College, "you play the guys that you've got, and those are the guys that we have. They're not in that first unit, but it goes to show you that if you pay attention and you're ready, good things will happen."
Goldsbrough's impact went far beyond the two clutch free throws he swished late in overtime, ones that snapped a 78-all deadlock with 1:23 remaining in the extra session. The senior from England didn't back down from the challenge of shadowing Ryan Anderson, the Eagles' top lowpost threat. In fact, you could make a strong case that Goldsbrough's defense on Anderson went a long way in allowing the Friars to make a strong push to the finish line on a night when fouls where called at an alarmingly high rate.
For much of the night, Anderson had his way with Providence, torching the twines for 19 points through regulation. Then came OT, which saw Batts pick up his fifth personal 23 seconds in. On came Goldsbrough, who up until that point had logged just six minutes.
With a few fouls to play with – a luxury in a game where 55 combined fouls were called and saw six players exit prematurely – Goldsbrough made sure to let Anderson know he was going to watching him.
"We switched Lee on the ball screen because Anderson was in a groove. I thought it changed the game and stagnated their offense because they were going to Anderson every time," said Cooley. "He's probably the most improved body in all of college basketball and probably our best defensive player in the post. He always seems to be in the right place in the right time."
Cooley's words sum up one particular defensive stand made by Goldsbrough late in overtime. Trailing by two, the Eagles fed Anderson the ball on the right block. A quick spin move later, Anderson got off a left-handed hook shot that didn't even come close to hitting the rim.
By winning the battle against Anderson, Goldsbrough shifted the focus to closing out the game. Free throws by Bryce Cotton and LaDontae Henton helped seal the deal as the Friars prevailed on a night when they had to dig deep into the reserve tank.
"I'm proud of our depth," said Cooley. "It helped us win today, for sure."
The offensive fireworks by Cotton also went a long way. Playing on a sore knee that has limited his availability in practice recently, the senior pumped in a game-best 28 points. Cotton rebounded from an airball that would have won the game for Providence in regulation to score seven points in the extra session.
"It's been challenging mentally, but my teammates have let me go at my own pace," said Cotton about trying to manage the pain. "I didn't want to let the guys down."
Henton and Josh Fortune each pumped in 15 points while Carson Desrosiers supplied PC with 22 effective minutes off the bench with seven points, five rebounds and two blocks. Tyler Harris was the third Friar to foul out, but not before managing four points, five rebounds and four assists.
Olivier Halan led Boston College with 23 points while Anderson contributed 21.
Given that his team had to adjust on the fly based on a slew of recent personnel changes, Cooley will gladly take the outcome.
"We prepared for seven weeks a particular style of play that we had to adjust in three days," said Cooley. "Everyone had a big impact in this game."
Shifting gears away from the victory, Cooley was asked about the health of Kris Dunn, who missed the game with a shoulder injury.
"Day to day is probably the best I can say. He's sore. We tried to practice him for a couple of days. He just can't move," said the coach. "It's going to be a process to get him back in a uniform right now. He had an unbelievable preseason, and to have a freak accident like that happen, it's really sad.
"We hope to get him back soon," continued Cooley, who said that surgery is not a consideration at this time. "I just don't know when that will be."
On suspended freshman Brandon Austin and Rodney Bullock, Cooley stated, "That will be a decision I make. The one thing that I will stand true to is that our players have to uphold the standard to play for Providence College where they don't step out of bounds. They need to do things the right way, and if they don't, there are consequences."
There was a nice scene at halftime at The Dunk as 11,102 fans witnessed former PC baseball standout and Red Sox infielder John McDonald bring the World Series trophy to center court, where Pawtucket Red Sox President Mike Tamburro and General Manager Lou Schwechheimer were standing. A video tribute to the 2013 Red Sox was played on the video board, which prompted even more cheers.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—The urge to strike out on their own and start a business strikes many mature workers, but all too often missteps put startups on the wrong side of the statistics.
Only about half of new companies make it past their fifth year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. See the BLS data here.
"People should not buy the myth that all they need is a good idea," said Nancy Strojny, chairwoman of the Portland, Maine, chapter of SCORE, a nonprofit that offers free mentoring to aspiring business owners.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
"In reality, it's never the idea, it's always the execution," said Strojny, who is also principal of her own business, Beauty Vantage Consulting, a marketing firm focused on the hotel industry.
The good news is older adults often have the unique skills needed to start a business.
"They know how to get information, connect with people, ask good questions. They come with experience and wisdom, know-how and focus," said Helen Dennis, a writer and consultant focusing on aging and employment. She is co-author of "Project Renewment: The First Retirement Model for Career Women."
Older adults represent a growing share of new entrepreneurs, thanks to an aging population but also a rising rate of entrepreneurship among that group, according to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity. The Kauffman Foundation is a nonprofit focused on education and entrepreneurship. See the Kauffman report here.
Of new entrepreneurs in 2011:
- 21% were aged 55 to 64, up from 14% in 1996
- 28% were aged 45 to 54, up from 24%
- 22% were aged 35-44, down from 27%
- 29% were aged 20 to 34, down from 35%
For the best chance of success, consider these tips:
1. Take time to prepare
While some may find themselves forced into entrepreneurship due to unforeseen circumstances—a layoff in an unforgiving job market—those who voluntarily make the leap shouldn't jump too quickly.
Planning and research is key, said Michele Markey, vice president with Kauffman FastTrac, a hands-on education program for entrepreneurs, sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation. "It doesn't guarantee success, but their chances of succeeding are greater."
Preparation might entail taking a self-assessment to see whether you're ready to start a business (see resources below), updating your tech skills, or learning how to use social media.
That self-assessment? It's important. "First and foremost, we want them to assess: 'Is this something that fits with the way I see me living my life?'" Markey said. "The commitment of time and money is really great."
Also, make sure your family is on board. "If your mate is annoyed that you're away all the time or up until midnight," Dennis sad, "it's going to be hard."
2. Learn to network
Networking is essential to get a business off the ground, but you're wrong if you think the focus should be on your company.
Networking "is all about the other person," Strojny said. The key "is to introduce yourself to people and get a dialogue going about them and their business, and what resource or help or tip you can bring to help them further goal."
3. Get help
Find people who can act as advisers. "Someone who will tell you the truth—not what you want to hear," said Strojny.
People are "so in love with their idea" that they're often blind to the facts, she said. An advisory team can offer a sense of perspective and reality.
The nonprofit SCORE offers mentors, but a relative, friend or former colleague can also act as an adviser.
4. Assess how much to invest
The flip side is: how much can you afford to lose?

An early morning fire on Stake Farm Road south of Price destroyed a home and a garage that contained thousands of dollars worth of stock car racing parts and tools on Thursday morning.
The home was owned by Larry and Beverly Thomas. The first call came to dispatch at about 6:15 a.m. and a Carbon County Sheriff's Deputy was the first on the scene. Based on his observations the fire was at the east end of the garage which stood next to the house separated by five or six feet. He said he cleared the house and there was only a little smoke when he went in, but before he could get out the east wall of the house was on fire.
Fire fighting units from Price, Wellington and Helper responded to the blaze. A tanker truck was also sent because at first it appeared the hydrants to fight the fire were too far away to make for quick response.
"This is the first structure fire we have had in about 8 months," said Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont on the scene. "We haven't had many in the last couple of years at all."
Reportedly fighting the fire was complicated because of a high fuel load in the garage and ammunition that was in the burning area. Some of it went off while the fire burned.
After an all-day investigation, the source of the fire remained undetermined.
"We couldn't find a specific cause," said Bedont on Thursday afternoon. "There are a number of factors that we just needed to consider, but nothing came out specifically."
Fire fighters not only had to battle the fire but also the storminess that raged across the region. While not much rain was falling in the area at the time, lightning strikes were common while the blaze was at its height. Fire fighters really did take their lives in their hands by not only having to face the hazards of a burning building with high octane fuel nearby, but with lightning bolts falling from the sky.
Bedont said that the house and the garage are a total loss. The owner participates in stock car racing and told the chief he had two engines valued at over $20,000 each in the garage, along with parts and many, many tools. At the scene a burned out ATV could also be seen sitting in front of what was the garage.
"I think with what he told us we could estimate the loss of the garage, the house and all the contents at between $200-300,000," stated Bedont.
Fire fighters from the agencies involved could be seen removing some personal items from the home and placing them on the lawn of the home to keep them from further damage as the blaze started to come under control.
Reportedly the homeowners did have insurance on the home.
