"-- Jane2 insults solfeggio because of where she lives, and insults anybody who happens to agree with solfeggio and labels them as mindless followers"
Sheer unadulterated nonsense. Solf lives in a small country on the other side of the world. Let her lecture those who live where she does.Solf presents a disdain for many things America but she doesn't live here, pay taxes or vote here.
I have never labelled anyone as a mindless follower of Solf or anyone else.
You and I live in very different worlds. Amen and so be it. I truly enjoy my world : middle-aged children, teen grandchildren and an oldest grandson who is twenty and acing his way through MIT. I'm not fond of the politics where I live but I like the people. Hot summers but all is air-conditioned and mild winters. Graciousness abounds.
Why not shoot a funny one-liner once in awhile? My grandkids shoot them with ease--marvelous senses of irony. They luv it when I shoot one back.

I've also had regular and extensive contact with numerous experts and interested parties on all sides of the wolf issue. I don't think it's a stretch to say I know far more about this topic, from a very direct perspective, than anybody here. MM
Knowewledge has nothing to do with the morality of destroying life. Serial murderers know a lot about how to dispose of cadavers. Hardly something to give them credit for.
You are trying to hide behind a supposed expertise to rationalize your love of shooting animals. The fact of trying to justify yourself makes me believe there is still some hope for you. Those who are too far gone wouldn't even bother.

Rabello and arielg -
Many thanks for your insightful and supportive posts. When people (like mytmouse this time) start to 'get' to me, you pull me back from the brink with your sensible remarks.
Mytmouse has ALWAYS been on the side of the hunters and trappers of animals - any animals anywhere - but expecially in his part of the States, which is the West, so his reponse was to be expected. But I don't think that just because you happen to live in an area, and have talked to a few people who purport to know something about the indigenous wildlife, or are a hunter, that automatically makes you an expert on the wildlife of the place.
Have wolves been hunted by humans to the brink of extinction? A lot of people seem to think so.
For some reason, Jane seems to have a problem with input from people who don't live in the States. So, her responses are to be expected as well.
But, anyway, I saw the stories about how wolves were being killed and tortured for sport by hoons, and I felt very sad about that, as would anybody who hates to see pointless cruelty, and so I thought I'd start the thread to raise people's consciousness about this.
If mytmouse doesn't like it - well, tough beans.

I take it you have never visited New Zealand, but I've been to all the English-speaking countries at one time or another for varying periods of time, as well as having lived for years in Europe, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is NO difference between people anywhere.
None. Nada. Nyet. Nein.
Human beings everywhere are all the same. We all want the same things. We all love our families and hope to keep them well and happy. We all want to stay healthy. We all want to have a roof over our heads. And we all want the people running our countries to look out for our welfare.
I live in a Commonwealth country. I'm a subject of the Queen. You live in a country that was originally settled to a great extent by the English. If the British rulers of that day hadn't been such morons, you might well have never had to fight a revolution to get your independence, but might have ended up like Canada, a member of the Commonwealth.
And that wouldn't have been so bad.
But we all speak English, we all have very similar cultures, we all think a lot alike, and of course we all fought on the same side in WWII.
Keep a little perspective, please.

Thanks, solfeggio! I did not appreciate the condescending tone as if those of us who abhor hunting and trapping are ignorant "city slickers" or some such stereotype and are supposed to just change our priniciples when graced with the so-called expert knowledge of those who didn't even take the time to read the articles and then post to the topic. Now that's "biased" in my book. The blurb about pepperspraying or shooting grizzly bears dead was off topic and annoying.
I'd rather know what mytmouse, and Jane2 and farragut think should happen to those people who tortured that wolf, starting with the Forest Service employee who put it in motion and let it happen.....and what they think can be done to stop things like that from happening on a routine basis.....rather than get a "lesson" or preaching.
PS...You might be from New Zealand, but you don't say anything that is different than what American liberals have to say, so that's just a straw man.

I was merely passing along what some of the most knowlegble people have to say about traveling in bear country. If anybody is taking a hostile stance here, it's you.
Why some seem to think that a love of nature and respect for wildlife should logically extend to misanthrophy and a revulsion toward technology and civilization baffles me.

Solf, like it or not, I've been in the same room with some of the world's top experts on wolves on more than one occassion. I know this topic very well, from several angles.

Thanks for clarifying that.
Nope, that is not what I am doing. I am pointing out that your "expertise" is used to rationalize your lack of empathy for living things.
It is an expertise at the service of those who want to manipulate the environment and the life of other creatures for the aggrandizement and benefit of humans. It is not intended to learn to live in harmony with all forms of life. See the difference?
It is a matter of how one perceives the place of humans in the world.

Development of a Methamphetamine Early Intervention

- How to Read a Study Record
Methamphetamine abuse has a strong and consistent epidemiologic association with high-risk sexual behavior and both prevalent and incident HIV in men who have sex with men (MSM), and some authorities have advocated methamphetamine treatment as an HIV prevention strategy. However, methamphetamine interventions have not been evaluated in controlled trials, nor have they been implemented and assessed outside of substance abuse treatment programs. This application proposes preliminary investigations to adapt a methamphetamine treatment intervention previously associated with decreased sexual-risk taking among MSM for use as an early intervention among MSM in Seattle, Washington. Sixty methamphetamine-using MSM will be enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of contingency management (CM) versus no intervention. CM participants will have their urine tested for methamphetamine 3 times weekly for 12 weeks, and will receive vouchers of escalating value when their urines test negative; vouchers will be withheld when participants' urines test positive for methamphetamine or participants miss urine testing visits. All participants will undergo urine methamphetamine testing and audio-computer assisted self-interviews on sexual behavior and substance use at baseline and at 6 week intervals for 6 months. Participants will be tested for HIV, syphilis, rectal gonorrhea and chlamydial infection, and pharyngeal gonorrhea at baseline and at 3 and 6 month follow-up. The study will determine how often MSM will initiate and complete the early intervention, and will longitudinally measure unsafe sexual behaviors among intervention and control participants. Study results will determine the feasibility of instituting and studying CM as an early intervention; define whether the intervention is sufficiently promising to justify a larger, definitive randomized controlled trial; and will provide estimates for defining the number of participants such a trial would require.

POTSDAM Village police have warned residents to be on the lookout for bears after the state Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed evidence of black bear droppings at a Leroy Street home.
This time of year, bears are looking for food and often will enter a populated area in their search, police said.
Black bears will take advantage of almost any readily available food source, including bird feeders and garbage.
People should never intentionally feed bears and should take every precaution to discourage bears from seeking out food sources in neighborhoods and other residential areas, police said.
Typically, black bears are timid and will avoid all contact with humans, but the animals can be a nuisance and cause significant damage if they believe they can obtain an easy meal.

"of the Goths," Germanic people who lived in Eastern Europe c.100 C.E., "pertaining to the Goths or their language," 1610s, from Late Latin Gothicus, from Gothi, Greek Gothoi, all from Gothic gutþiuda "Gothic people," the first element cognate with Old Norse gotar "men." "The sense 'men' is usually taken to be the secondary one, but as the etymology of the word is unknown, this is uncertain" [Gordon]. The unhistorical -th- in English is from Late Latin.
Used in sense of "savage despoiler" (1660s) in reference to their fifth-century sacking of Roman cities (cf. vandal, and French gothique, still with a sense of "barbarous, rude, cruel"). Gothic also was used by scholars to mean "Germanic, Teutonic" (1640s), hence its evolution as a 17c. term for the art style that emerged in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, and the early 19c. literary style that used northern European medieval settings to suggest horror and mystery. The word was revived 1983 as the name for a style of music and the associated youth culture; abbreviated form goth is attested from 1986. Gothic revival in reference to architecture and decorating first recorded 1869 in writing of C.L. Eastlake.
In European architecture, the dominant style during the late Middle Ages, characterized by slender towers, pointed arches, soaring ceilings, and flying buttresses. Many great cathedrals, including Chartres and Notre Dame de Paris, were built in this style.

LONDON (AP) -- Serena Williams has been named the WTA's Player of the Year after winning major titles at Wimbledon and the US Open and claiming gold at the London Olympics.
Williams, who has won 15 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals, was 48-2 over the final seven months of the season.
It is the fourth time Williams has won the award, which is voted on by international tennis media. She also was named Player of the Year in 2002, 2008 and 2009.
Only Steffi Graf (eight times) and Martina Navratilova (seven times) have won the award more than Williams.

There are 110 pitchers currently on active rosters in the Carolina league. For comparison reasons, I used the formula of 0.4 IP per team game to determine a list of qualifying pitchers. I know the standard method of ranking pitchers by ERA is using 0.8 IP per team game, but using that formula eliminates every single relief pitcher unless that relief pitchers has at least 3 starts this season. As of today a pitcher would need at least 21.20 IP to qualify (Salem has played the least games - 53) * 0.4 IP = 21.20
There are 76 pitchers that qualify for this list. Only 8 pitchers have a 2.00 ERA or better, out of those 8 pitchers, Only 1 has under a 3.00 FIP.
That pitcher is Trent Howard from the Frederick Keys. 1.45 ERA; 2.72 FIP

Detailed Description:
The Late Effects Study is being conducted in order to answer scientific questions and to serve as a resource for Wilms tumor patients and their families. Although most people in this study enjoy good health, some may be at risk for certain health conditions. We are collecting information from as many participants as possible in order to determine if they or their offspring are at risk for adverse medical conditions. If there is more than one case of Wilms tumor in a given family, we plan to work with geneticists to try to estimate heritability and recurrence risks.

(Editors note: Based on the weather this winter, if things don't change, the area will be experiencing a drought. This is the first in a series of articles examining droughts, water use, water storage/sources, personal water footprints and what the impacts of a prolonged drought has done in the past and can do to the eastern Utah in the future).
How much water do each of us use each day? And how is that water measured?
These questions created the idea of formulating a water footprint for individuals. With dwindling natural resources in the world the "footprint" model has been used for a lot of different categories. The question when one creates a footprint is how deep into that individual users life does one go? In terms of water use, we can measure it just for what a person directly uses in their life each day. In article one of this series we brought up the fact that the average person uses 123 gallons of water each day. That would be for drinking, flushing the toilet, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. It does not include watering of lawns, washing cars, or the filling swimming pools and hot tubs.
And it does not include what each of us really uses, when we consider other factors.
If one wants to drill down deeper, we can find a lot more water use than that. Almost everything we use as a tool in life or consume to eat requires water to create it. If we add those kinds of water use to our daily total, that amount could seem outrageous. But it is true.
What does all that have to do with drought? In this area the direct use really impacts how much water is being utilized from the system that supplies it. But in the more general sense, somewhere where each of us get our food, cars, toys, electronics, etc. from, a drought may well be going on.
The world's climate is getting warmer. Climatic trends are changing. Few people dispute that it is happening, although they do dispute why it is happening. The fact is drought in other parts of our country and the world can really affect what happens to even our local population in Carbon County. For instance a drought in Texas last summer caused a lot of alfalfa hay to be shipped from the intermountain west (where water was plentiful last year) to that area and consequently this winter the prices for hay are higher, because there is less of it. That's just one small example, but it affects everyone who owns a horse or any type of cattle which eats alfalfa.
Drought anywhere should not be viewed as merely a natural phenomenon or event. Its impact on society is often a result of the interplay between the natural event (reduced precipitation) and the way society responds with management of existing supplies. People often compound the impacts of drought through the mismanagement of available supplies.
One example of this occurs when outdoor watering restrictions imposed by community leadership are actually perceived by the general public as being premature or unnecessary. Often in these instances while people comply with the letter of the law, water use actually rises. Consequently, an informed and caring general public is an important ingredient to successful drought management.
"Education about water use is the best way to conserve it," says Jeff Richens, the district manager for the Price River Water Improvement District. "With that, when you ask the public to cut back they respond better."
And yet even with all the education that has been done on "slowing the flow," a recent Sun Advocate poll concerning the snow pack in the mountains where most of the counties water comes from showed that 17 percent of the population did not see that problem as being a substantial one.
Public response is part of the water footprint each of us creates whether it be a dry year or a wet year. Yet our lifestyle affects the water use all over the world, depending on what we buy, eat or consume in some other way. It's easy to just think locally about fresh water supplies, but in the coming years thinking globally will become more and more important, because fresh water supplies going to become more scarce as the population of the world expands.
In some areas of the globe getting fresh water has always been a challenge. And not having enough fresh water in any one certain area can impede economic development even if all the other factors for creating a business or locating a business exist there. Carbon county often faces this challenge in bringing new businesses to the area because our water supplies are tight, even in good years.
The industry of the world, whether it be in manufacturing or in farming, is water intensive. Few people realize how much water it takes to grow the food we eat or to make the things we use. Here are some examples of the water it takes to produce various kinds of things that most of us use on a daily basis.
One slice of bread (one ounce) takes about 10 gallons of water to create. This is because to produce one pound of wheat it takes a150 gallons of water to make it grow to maturity.
One pound of chicken takes 500 gallons of water to produce. This not only includes what chickens drink while they are being raised but the feed that is grown to feed those chickens.
One pound of corn takes 110 gallons of water to produce.
A hamburger (the meat only) takes between 4,000 to 18,000 gallons of water. That is because not only is feed required but cattle drink a lot of water as well. Cattle are usually butchered out (depending on many factors) at between nine months and a year of age.
A sheet of paper takes between ½ gallon and eight gallons of water to produce, depending on a lot of factors, but the average is about three gallons. A lot of the variation depends on the kind of wood that is used to make it.
A pound of steel takes 30 gallons of water to make. This includes the processing of ore and the power generation that it takes to create the heat.
A cotton shirt takes 700 gallons of water to make. Of this 86 percent of that water is for irrigation and includes the evaporation that takes place with cotton plants in the field. Another 14 percent of that water is comes from the water that is used to dilute the waste water that comes from the fields where it is raised because of high fertilizer content. The rest is for the various processes in making the cotton into a fabric.
A cup of coffee takes 35 gallons of water to produce. Coffee production actually takes 2 percent of the global use of water for crop production.
These water use figures for various products show that when all is taken into account, the 123 gallons per day per individual is small indeed. Remember that all these figures vary somewhat, particularly with agricultural products because of soil conditions, the type of irrigation, drainage, etc. They are for simple comparisons only.
There are ways many of these uses could be mitigated, but that would require lifestyle changes that many people would not want to make. And it would also hurt businesses that produce certain products that require a lot of water to produce as well as some agricultural concerns.
While the last few days have been wetter and more is forecast for the immediate future what happens with local water supplies in the short and the long term is a problem everyone in the area will face.
And so will the ecologic health of eastern Utah as well.

So my seamstress tried sewing the stay sleeve on two separate pieces of 1/16" thick HDPE plastic that I bought from Professional Plastics, and it was too brittle to handle her sewing needle on her industrial machine and the HDPE cracked/split/broke.Is there another type of nylon/plastic that is more pliable/less brittle, so that she can sew through it?Really need some help, I am getting frustrated.
I'll try te UHMW sheeting and see how it does with stitching. Found it after reviewing my other thread. Any other ideas?
I have no experience with sewing webbing to plastic (this is what, in my foggy recollection, the stock Dana sheet used). If you don't anticipate needing to remove the stays often, you could laminate (with contact cement) a layer of packcloth or thin CCF over the bottom and to of the frame sheet, with the stays inside. This will hold them in place and most importantly, prevent the hard edges of the stays from wearing through the bottom of the pack itself.Good luck.
That's a great idea, I did not think of that. I appreciate the creative thinking!
I have sewn 1/16" hdpe from professional plastics on my industrial walking foot without any issue cracking the plastic. It actually sewed very nicely, I expected it to be much more difficult. I stitched all over a small off cut trying to see if I could get the plastic to split or crack and it did not. I had some issues with professional plastics sending me the wrong materials, they made it right and got the errors corrected.I would make sure it is hdpe.Good luck
http://www.mcmaster.com/#uhmw-polyethylene-sheets/=keuyfsFor some reason anything under 1/16" thick, your only able to get up to a 12'"x 12" sheet. Guessing you'll need a 12"x24" or 12"x36" piece. I've sew through 4 layers of 1000d cordura and this 1/16" uhmw nylon. It is very soft and flexible.
Edited by mfog1 on 12/01/2012 23:12:45 MST.
The sheeting I received is surprisingly brittle. Makes me wonder if they sold me something else besides HDPE. I will get some samples from some other companies and compare.I went with them since they are only 30 minutes away, and I can pick orders up via willcall to save on shipping.i will post some photos of the damage done as my seamstress attempted to sew through the sheeting I received.
Edited by vigilguy on 12/01/2012 23:16:46 MST.
No experience with HDPE, but I do with UHMW nylon, and it is very tough stuff.
I haven't tried the UHMW nylon. it sounds interesting, I may have to try some.The HDPE I used is pretty tough. It was easy to cut, drill and sew.If you are only 30min away, I would stop by and make sure they gave you the right material and maybe if ask if you can look at some other options.Here are a couple pics of the frame sheet I made using 1/16" HDPE.
Hi Charles,If its brittle and it cracked or split while sewing then it wasn't HDPE. You can sew through the stuff like butter and there should be no issues at all even with the thick stuff 1/4"+. If I were you I would call your plastic supplier and tell them to re-send you the right material : ) Let me know if you have any questions.Thanks,Lawson
Thank you very much. I will call them and ask them about it.I ended up ordering some UHMW plastic from McMaster-Carr out of L.A. and I really like the feel of it over what Professional Plastics sent me. (It arrived today). Can't wait to have her sew through this, I suspect it will do just fine.Also...night and day difference between the two companies to deal with.
Edited by vigilguy on 12/06/2012 19:38:22 MST.
Charles,I did something similar for my wife's pack.I didn't do boring old circular cut outs.The material came from the housewares department at Walmart. It's a plastic place mat. The last one I bought was $2.00 and measured 12" x 18".Party On,Newton
Hi everyone.If you can't sew through the HDPE you can try normal polyethylene (PET). This is very similar to the material's features, but it is easier to cut and sew through, even through a thick plate.Even if you have the right material, often sewing machine will behave differently when sewing such material. Tear thread or sewing ugly and weak.So after you've exchanged a needle to a new needle, sometimes you have to place the needle at an angle different from sewing fabric.Sometimes it helps if both sides of the PET or HDPE has a layer of fabric.So less rubbing the sewing thread and tear it.I hope you can understand what I wrote after the wonderful translation by Google Translate.Eran.
I bought the UHMW from McMaster-Carr (very helpful company). Had my seamstress sew through the 1/16" thickness with no problem at all. Glad I used this material, as it really needed to flex in order to get it to fit in the upper pockets of each Terraplane. Both Terraplanes were around 20 years old, one looked almost new, but the frame sheet was still torn a little, the other was faded but intact, and that frame sheet was really torn badly.Everything went smoothly.Thanks so much for all of your helpful replies!
Edited by vigilguy on 12/10/2012 22:24:43 MST.
What needle should be used with hdpe? I'm trying to sew two layers of 1/32" with a 80/12 microtex needle and an having trouble with the needle bending. Would something like a jeans needle be more appropriate?

They said delivery on Friday, and it arrived on Friday.
It is 20cm deep, and medium to firm which is a blessing for my slipped disc. I let it stand for most of the first day to ease some of the manufacturing smell. I wish I'd bought this straight after getting rid of my last orthopaedic mattress for my divan instead of a memory foam one. Trying to turn over in bed with a bad back on a memory foam mattress is a big problem, but not with this. £140 very well spent.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - For 45 minutes straight Sen. Mark Warner took questions on Twitter concerning the fiscal cliff.
Since being part of the bipartisan gang of six which developed a deficit reduction plan, he's determined to help forge a compromise before the end of the year.
With an assistant taking on the typing duties, Senator Warner told a questioner that going over the cliff would be especially hard on poor school districts which receive Title One money.
Sen Warner explained that a still-viable solution the gang of six came up with was two dollars in cuts for every dollar of spending.
Sen. Warner has met with 80 big-name CEOs who are banding together to pressure Congress to reduce the deficit with use of both tax revenue increases and spending cuts.
See Peggy Fox's full interview with Sen. Mark Warner as well as her report on his Twitter session in the above videos.

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artistsby Neil Strauss
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year — guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.
On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange — and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince — to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.
"[Signature] Reviewed by Amy Sohn I never dated Neil Strauss, but I dated guys like him. Like many New York women, I have always gone for balding, pale guys because they're grateful and good in bed. But a few years ago, a distraught Strauss decided he was a loser with women and set about transforming himself into the world's greatest pick-up artist. The Game is his long, often tedious but hilarious account of how he did it. This ugly-duckling tale will affect different readers in different ways, depending on their degree of cynicism: some will be awed by Strauss's menage-a-trois snowball scene, while others will suspect it was cribbed from a third-rate porno Strauss watched in his pre-macking days.When his story begins Strauss is, well, a Neil: an unconfident, self-described AFC (average frustrated chump). He is also, it should be noted, a well-known rock critic who penned porn star Jenna Jameson's autobiography, leaving one wondering just how pathetic women really found him. After paying $500 to join a workshop for aspiring PUAs (pick-up artists) led by a magician named Mystery at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel, Strauss becomes addicted to pick-up technique. He trains with several PUA gurus, including Ross Jeffries, a hypnotist rumored to be the basis for the Tom Cruise character in Magnolia. With his brains and dedication, Strauss renames himself Style and soon becomes a master of the game — able to get sex from beautiful women who once would have run the other way. But The Game doesn't get really interesting until Strauss deviates from his NC-17 Horatio Alger story and tells what happens when he moves into a Sunset Strip mansion with a group of other PUAs. He starts to see the misogyny of the sport and realizes that most of its leaders had miserable childhoods. The AFC who became a PUA to understand women ultimately becomes an expert on men. As Strauss grows restless to talk about things other than number closes and phase shifts (the book's glossary is a juicy read of its own), the mansion loses its appeal and he reluctantly grows up. When he meets a tough-talking band mate of Courtney Love's named Lisa and they bond over music, we can guess where the narrative is headed. In the book's final pages, he dumps onto his bed all the phone numbers he's collected and tells Lisa, 'I've spent two years meeting every girl in L.A. And out of them all, I chose you,' which is like telling your mother-in-law that the Thanksgiving dinner you had last year at Applebee's was nothing compared to the one she just prepared. But for some reason, Lisa doesn't flee. I can only hope that in the inevitable 2007 movie version, starring Jack Black and Kate Hudson, Lisa throws the numbers in his face and leaves him for a guy who knows how to pay a girl a compliment. (Sept. 1) Amy Sohn is the author of My Old Man, which was just released in paperback by Simon & Schuster, and she writes the 'Mating' column for New York magazine." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"One hugely entertaining story. I loved every page. And I'll never let Neil Strauss within 50 feet of my wife." Esquire

You can read about the rituals and traditions of a Navajo sweat lodge, but there is nothing quite like sitting inside one.
That personal knowledge is what you gain through the Navajo Summer Experience program under the instruction of Utah State University history professor and award-winning author Robert S. McPherson. It's a 12-credit-hour program offered only this May 7-25 at USU Eastern's San Juan campus.
This one-of-a-kind course makes it possible for participants to gain hands-on experience by interacting with Navajo people. It combines classes and field work, including an introduction to the Navajo language by an instructor with texts specific to the Four-Corner locale.
The program, which is Pell Grant eligible, is ideal for teacher recertification, undergraduate students in disciplines such as American Studies, Museum Studies, Folklore, Recreation Resource Management and Parks and Recreation. It is also beneficial to non-college students who work in professions related to Native Americans. The course provides a solid cultural foundation for Anglo teachers in the southeast region of Utah who are new to the area and for those in social service professions working with Native Americans.
Successful completion of the three-week course earns participants one half of the credits needed for the Native American Studies Program Certificate. This certificate provides either a lower or upper division undergraduate requirement in Native American Studies. It is complementary but not limited to degrees in history, anthropology, American studies, and general studies. Students pursuing this certificate receive a broad base for understanding various aspects of the Native American experience and helps them prepare for work in national and state parks, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, cultural resource management, tribal governments, archaeology, humanities and social sciences, education and law.
In addition to classroom work in Blanding, participants will travel nearly 1,000 miles around the region that includes visits to Navajo Mountain, Monument Valley and other key sites in the Four Corner area. They will learn, through direct experience, traditional Navajo arts and crafts, mythology, skills for daily life, and historical and contemporary Navajo issues. Included in the course is a one-day float trip down the San Juan River to study Navajo sacred geography, Ancestral Puebloan ruins and discuss related mythology.
The total cost of the three-week program is $2,700. This includes 12 credit hours of instruction (nearly as many credits as a full semester of college), travel costs, including the river trip, and food and lodging for two of the three weeks. During the week of field work, participants will not be charged for lodging and meal costs will be shared to keep expenses to a minimum.
Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis with a 22-student cap. To enroll, or if you have questions, please contact McPherson directly at: email@example.com or by calling 435.678.8140. Enrollment closes April 16, 2012.
No down payment is required to hold a seat but those interested in participating are highly encouraged to contact McPherson as soon as possible to hold a spot.
McPherson has authored several dozen publications and 10 books, the majority of them focusing on the Navajo people.He is winner of the 2009 Utah Book Award for nonfiction for his book, "Comb Ridge and Its People" by USU Press. He is former vice president of the College of Eastern Utah where he began teaching for the San Juan Campus in 1977.

Give Jevex his mods back, I'd much rather have him as a mod, than some whining pip-squeek wanting a power trip. Besides if zesty thinks you're a bad admin, why does he want to be a mod on your board?
If zesty realises just how much of a tit he's been, give him his mods back. I know he'll whinge, but explain that Jevex has a good track record with you and thats why you gave him mods.
BTW, nice little board you got there.

The Lord Justice Clerk Lord Gill, in a tripartite ruling with Lords Osborne and Nimmo Smith, has called for a review of the rights of audience of solicitor advocates.
The call came during a murder appeal, in which Gill took the unusual step of questioning the competence of the solicitor advocate Gerard Brown, of Livingston Brown.
"Mr Brown addressed the jury in rather imprecise terms on the concepts of mens rea, reasonable doubt, credibility and reliability. He said, wrongly, that if they did not accept the evidence of Maureen Woodside, there was insufficient evidence in law to convict the appellant," Gill said in the judgement.
"The advocacy of Mr Brown and Mr McSherry seems to have lacked a certain finesse. Mr Brown's speech to the jury was unstructured and ill-focused. No doubt many capable counsel and solicitor advocates would have approached the defence in a different way."
Both Gill and Nimmo Smith specifically called for the rights of audience of solicitor advocates to address the High Courts to be subject of a review, citing the self certification of solicitor advocates as senior or junior counsel to be potentially contrary to the interests of justice.
Dean of the Faculty Richard Keen also added his voice to the call for a review, claiming the self certification was an "absurdity."
"Rights of audience in the High Court were extended to solicitors, on certain conditions, nearly twenty years ago," said Lord Gill.
"In this appeal we have had to consider the way in which rights of audience have been exercised. It is right that we should comment where weaknesses in the operation of it may put the interests of justice at risk."
During the trial and appeal, it had been established that senior counsel Gerard Brown had absented himself from the trial. A conflict of interest question had also been raised due to the firm's prior unrelated work on behalf of witnesses in the case.
"It is unfortunate that the three solicitors concerned in the trial in this case should have been singled out for public scrutiny of their conduct of the defence, especially so long after the event. There is reason to think that some of the practices for which counsel for the appellant has criticised them may be widespread among solicitors who practise in this area of the law," Gill added.
"It is particularly unfortunate in the case of Mr Brown. He is an experienced solicitor who has been honoured with the CBE for his service to his profession. It was my impression that Mr Brown was completely truthful in his evidence at this appeal. Mr McSherry gave me the same impression. If, as I believe, they may have erred in certain aspects of their duty, their errors have arisen from a failure in the understanding of their duty rather than from any improper reason. I raise the matters of professional practice that I am about to discuss only out of a concern that every person accused of serious crime should have access to the best available advice and representation and should be defended with the highest standards of professional competence and diligence.
"The matter of fees is no concern of this court, except where it may have a bearing on the due administration of justice. The undisputed evidence in this appeal is that when two solicitor advocates appear together, the nominal leader, whether or not he is senior to his colleague in any respect, and regardless of his experience, is paid as if he were a Queen's Counsel. Such a solicitor advocate may have little experience and may be ineligible for silk. That rule creates an incentive that may not be in the interests of justice.
Richard Keen agreed that this practice should now be reviewed.
"I welcome the idea that the problems outlined by the Lord Justice Clerk should be the subject of a review," he said.
"For a number of years there have been rumblings of concern and it can only be a good thing for justice that these have come to light and can be properly identified. The particular problem of solicitors not clearly advising clients as to the availability of counsel is a long-standing one and suggestions from some quarters that they should not have to do so are extremely worrying.
"The Faculty has made repeated representations to the Government and to the Scottish Legal Aid Board regarding the absurdity of the self-certification (as senior) of solicitor-advocates."
Gill added that the case highlighted a more serious problem of a solicitor advocate accepting instructions from his own firm.
"It is difficult to see how a solicitor who has rights of audience, or whose partner or employee has such rights, can give his client disinterested advice on the question of representation. There may be an incentive for him not to advise the client of the option of instructing counsel, or a solicitor advocate from outside his firm, in circumstances where either of those options might be in the client's best interests. Even if the solicitor conscientiously advises the client that he or his partner or employee should defend him, the informed observer may reasonably doubt the objectivity of that advice.
"To attain the rank and dignity of Queen's Counsel, a member of the Bar or a solicitor advocate has to demonstrate the length and range of his experience and the quality of his skills and judgment. The Dean of Faculty supervises the representation of accused persons in the High Court by members of Faculty to ensure that serious and difficult defences are not put in the hands of inexperienced counsel. If necessary, the Dean will direct a member of the senior Bar, or an experienced junior of proven ability, to make himself available for a criminal defence, regardless of his prior commitments. With solicitor advocates, however, the position seems to be one of unmonitored self-certification. As Mr Brown told us, it is possible for a solicitor to be given rights of audience and to appear in the High Court on the following day on his own or as senior to another solicitor advocate. From the standpoint of the administration of justice, the idea that any solicitor advocate can accept instructions, perhaps from his own employee, as leader in a serious trial regardless of his experience and skill, is a matter for concern. The 2002 Rules provide no safeguard to protect the accused in such a case from being defended by an inexperienced solicitor advocate whose reach exceeds his grasp.
"This appeal has highlighted problems of rights of audience that seem not to be unique to this case. I think that it would be opportune if there were to be a review of the working of the system overall."
Lord Nimmo Smith added that the trial, which related to a murder committed in 1998, took place before the Scotland Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998 came into force.
"As we have seen in many cases in this court, Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights gives rise to re-examination of many arrangements relating to criminal trials. Paragraph 3 of that article provides that everyone charged with a criminal offence has certain minimum rights, including the right to defend himself in person or through legal assistance of his own choosing. Any such choice, to be effective, must be fully informed and based on objective advice directed to the best interests of the accused, not those of his legal representatives, and must demonstrably be so. It is to be hoped that the relevant Rules will be re-examined to ensure that this fundamental requirement is met.," he concluded.
The full judgement can be read here.

Arved Fuchs' expedition to northwestern Greenland
April 02, 2012
The German polar explorer and book writer Arved Fuchs has been traveling the frozen Arctic wastelands of Greenland for 33 years. And for years, he has trusted the products of Trek'n Eat and Katadyn on his adventures. The main aim of his current expedition to northwestern Greenland will be to determine the ice thickness on the fjords along the coast. At the northernmost point of the route, the team plans to start an ascent toward the inland ice and then to return southward. During certain periods, the expedition will be accompanied by Greenland natives who will support the team in choosing the route around the critical capes. At the end of May, when the springtime starts in Greenland and snows begins to melt, Arved Fuchs plans to be back with his expedition at his starting point in Qaanaaq. As oftentimes before, the expedition will be traveling by dogsled, the traditional means of transport of the Inughuit. The sleds are built on site by the local people, and the dogs are also bought from the natives and returned to them at the end of the expedition as a gift. Katadyn is proud to support this famous German adventurer with vital and reliable products.
