Fish Community Data
Fish collections by MDC research and management personnel (West Central Region) are summarized. Collections are divided into three groups (large, nektonic and benthic fish) based on their ecological affinity (Pflieger 1989). Relative abundance of fish in each group is provided for each of five subbasins including Heath's Creek, Muddy Creek, Flat Creek, Richland Creek and the mainstem Lamine River. Most collections were made by seining except in areas where water was too deep. All nektonic and benthic fish were collected by seining unless otherwise indicated on summary sheets. Large fish were collected by electrofishing, seining, or a combination of the two methods. Data on the summary sheets (Appendix 4) is not highly quantitative in nature; it is meant to provide a basic idea of the community structure in each of the subbasins.
Longear sunfish
A total of 69 fish species have been collected in the Lamine River Basin by MDC personnel (Table Bc01). Of that total, 33 species were categorized in the "large" group which includes centrarchids, catostomids, ictalurids and other large forms. The green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) was the most abundant fish in this group and was present at all five Lamine River subbasins. Another wide-ranging species, the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was the second most abundant species. Surprisingly, the longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) an Ozark-lowland species (Pflieger 1971) was the third most abundant fish in the subbasin, largely due to high densities in Richland and Flat creeks which are more Ozarkian systems than Heath's and Muddy creeks. The black bullhead (Ictalurus melas), golden redhorse (Moxostoma erythrurum), bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) follow as the most common species in the drainage. All of the above species were present in all five of the subbasins (Lamine River, Heath's Creek, Muddy Creek, Richland Creek and Flat Creek). With the exception of the longear sunfish and golden redhorse, all are wide ranging species (Pflieger 1971).
A transition from Prairie to Ozark border streams is somewhat evident in the large fish group. Green sunfish were more predominant in Muddy and Heath's creeks than in Richland and Flat creeks where longear sunfish and redhorse species (black or golden) were more or equally predominant. In the mainstem Lamine River, the gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) was the most abundant large fish followed by a large river species, the freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens). These species are probably more abundant in the mainstem Lamine due to its size and direct link to the Missouri River.
Largemouth bass are common in all subbasins and very abundant in Muddy Creek. Spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus) were not abundant in any of the streams except the Lamine River where they represented 8% of the large fish collection. Crappie (Pomoxis spp.) were not abundant in any of the collections although local fishermen have commented on good crappie fishing in some of the streams including the mainstem Lamine River. Bluegill, longear sunfish, and orangespotted sunfishes (Lepomis humilis) were widely distributed in the basin and relatively abundant. The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) was not predominant in any of the research collections although they represented 36 % of the catch in more recent samples of Muddy Creek. The flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) was also rarely captured. Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) were captured in very small numbers in the mainstem Lamine River and Flat Creek. A few white bass (Morone chrysops) were also collected from Flat Creek.
The greatest number of large fish species (28) existed in Flat Creek which probably provides a larger diversity of habitats than any other stream in the basin, due to its size and Ozark border location in the basin. The mainstem Lamine River possessed the second largest number of species (25). Muddy Creek and Heath's Creek, both Prairie streams contained the smallest number of large species.
Additional sampling in 1989 in the Heath's Creek, Muddy Creek, and Flat Creek subbasins did not reveal major changes in species composition but a few additional species were collected. Spotted bass were a new addition to the Muddy and Heath's creeks species list in 1989. The addition of spotted bass to these collections may reflect expansion from the mainstem Lamine River and Flat Creek where it was previously collected. In Muddy Creek, channel and flathead catfish as well as freshwater drum were added to the species list. In Flat Creek, the black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) was collected for the first time in 1989.
A few large fish species were collected in research samples prior to 1960 that have not been collected since. For instance, the highfin carpsucker (Carpiodes velifer), an Ozark species was collected in Flat Creek in 1940. No other specimens have been collected in the Lamine River Basin since that time.
Several nektonic species shared predominance in the Lamine River basin. Two prairie species, the common shiner (Notropis cornutus) and red shiner (Notropis lutrensis); one Ozark-Prairie species, the central stoneroller (Campostoma anomalum); and two wide ranging species, the bluntnose minnow (Pimephales notatus) and redfin shiner (Notropis umbratilis) were equally abundant in the basin. The nektonic fish assemblage differed from prairie to Ozark border streams within the basin. Wide ranging and Prairie species such as the redfin shiner, bluntnose minnow, and red shiner were predominant in Heath's Creek and Muddy Creek while species including the central stoneroller and southern redbelly dace predominated in Richland Creek samples. The common shiner, a Prairie species, was also abundant in Richland Creek.
Flat Creek which is a transitional stream between the Prairie and Ozark region possessed a diverse assemblage of nektonic fish including a high abundance of rosyface shiners (Notropis rubellus), red shiners, redfin shiners, bluntnose minnows, and brook silversides (Labidethes sicculus). The northern studfish (Fundulus catenatus) and plains topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus), both Ozark species, were present in Flat and Richland Creek collections but absent in collections from the Prairie streams (Heath's Creek and Muddy Creek). The predominant nektonic species in the mainstem Lamine River was the ghost shiner (Notropis buchanani), a Prairie species, which was present at two of the three collection sites. The red shiner and bluntnose minnow were also abundant in the mainstem Lamine River.
Topeka shiner
One species of special interest is the topeka shiner (Notropis topeka). One specimen was found in Clear Creek in 1992, and three specimens were found in Greer Spring in 1995. Populations of this species seems to be declining possibly due to siltation in the agricultural watersheds where it remains (Pfleiger 1997).
Additional fish collections in 1989 did not reveal major shifts in nektonic fish assemblages. A collection from Haw Creek in the Flat Creek Subbasin yielded a large number of central stonerollers which were not abundant in research samples. This may have been due to the location of the sampling site on Haw Creek which is a more Ozarkian stream than other tributaries in the Flat Creek Subbasin.
A few members of the nektonic group were present in earlier research samples and never collected in later years. The plains minnow (Hybognathus placitus), a big river species, was collected in the mainstem Lamine River in 1940. The western silvery minnow (Hybognathus argyritis), also a big river species was collected in Muddy Creek in 1940.
Orangethroat darter
The orangethroat darter (Etheostoma spectabile) was by far the most abundant benthic species in the Lamine River Basin. The species represented 45-75 % of the collection in all five of the subbasins. Other benthic fish common to most subbasins were the suckermouth minnow (Phenacobius mirabilis) and fantail darter (Etheostoma flabellare). In the mainstem Lamine River the slenderhead darter (Percina phoxocephala), an Ozark-Prairie species, was the second most common benthic fish. The suckermouth minnow and gravel chub (Hybopsis x-punctata) were also common in the mainstem Lamine River. In the Prairie streams, Heath's Creek and Muddy Creek, the orangethroat darter represented about 50 % of the catch and the other 50 % mainly consisted of johnny darters (Etheostoma nigrum); logperch (Percina caprodes); and suckermouth minnows. Flat Creek possessed the greatest number of species of benthic fishes (11) including the least darter (E. microperca), an Ozark species, and the blackside darter (E. maculata), a Prairie species. Richland Creek collections contained only five benthic fish species and 80 % of the specimens were orangethroat darters.
Freckled madtom
A unique species collected in the past was the freckled madtom (Noturus nocturnus) of which one specimen was collected in the mainstem Lamine River in 1940. The freckled madtom is a lowland species which is not abundant at any locations in Missouri (Pflieger 1975). Additional collections did not reveal major changes in the fish community or benthic species as compared to earlier research collections.
Overall, a shift in the fish assemblage from Prairie to Ozark-border streams is evident in the Lamine River Basin. Flat Creek represents the transition between the two regions and contains a very diverse fish community. Major changes in the fish community of the Lamine River basin over the last 20 years are difficult to detect due to the lack of recent collections. Several key species exist in the basin that may serve as indicators of increased water quality as new stream and watershed projects progress. Examples are the topeka shiner, rosyface shiner, least darter, northern studfish and plains topminnow. The blacknose shiner is also of special interest due to its endangered status in the state. The Lamine River provides fishing opportunities for largemouth and spotted bass, white bass, catfish, sunfishes and crappie. Specialized sampling techniques should provide a better representation of the sport fish community. Another sport fish, walleye, may have been more abundant in the mainstem Lamine River during the early part of this century. This supposition is based on accounts related by older anglers in the area. As fish sampling continues, walleye spawning habitat may be better identified enabling fisheries managers to increase the abundance of this species to the basin.
Ichthyoplankton Collection
Larval fish taxa collected in the Lamine River by Brown (1989) are shown in (Table Bc02). The list includes two additions, the paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) and blue sucker (Cycleptus enlongatus), to those previously reported by MDC.
Aquatic Invertebrates
Twenty-seven species of mussels have been collected in the Lamine River Basin since 1965 (Oesch 1984; Table Bc03). Based on the general range of crayfish in Missouri (Pflieger 1996), a list of species expected in the Lamine River basin is provided (Table Bc04).
Threatened and Endangered Species
Blacknose Shiner
The blacknose shiner (Notropis heterolepis), a state listed endangered species in Missouri, has been collected as recently as 1962 in South Flat Creek. No threatened or endangered crayfishes or mussels are listed for consideration in the basin (Missouri Natural Heritage database 1999).
Topeka Shiner
The Topeka shiner was placed on the Federal Endangered species list in January 1999. Only small, remnant and fragmented populations have been recently documented in smaller subwatersheds within Lamine River watershed.
Bighead Carp are native to eastern China and were introduced to Arkansas in 1973. They are easily identified by the location of eyes below the midline of the fish. They have reached 40 to 50 pounds in as little as 5 years. Evidence of natural reproduction in Missouri waters occurred in 1989 when they were seined from Carrol County stream. Bighead Carp are found most commonly in the big rivers and the lower portions of their large tributaries. They obtain food by passing water over gill rackers. Zooplankton is the primary diet, but phytoplankton are also consumed. Food habits of this fish may conflict with native fish species such as paddlefish, bigmouth buffalo and young of other native species.
Grass Carp are native to Eastern Asia and released into open water of Arkansas shortly after 1963. They were first documented in Missouri in 1971 in the Mississippi River. They have become numerous in the large rivers, and the 1992 commercial harvest was nearly 40,000 pounds. They are stocked in many farm ponds to control aquatic vegetation problems. They sometimes escape to smaller streams where they are sometimes found. Young grass carp feed on small crustaceans and other invertebrates. At about 8 inches long, they shift to a diet consisting of much aquatic vegetation and some animal matter. Harmful effects on native fish populations was feared, but effects have not yet been documented.
River Otters (Lutra canadensis) were reintroduced to Lamine River in 1983. The population has done well. Since 1996, trappers have helped manage otter populations in Lamine River and other areas throughout the state.
Other Management/Research Efforts
An invertebrate and fish recolonization study was initiated following a major fish kill on Muddy Creek in November 1989 (see Fish Kill section). The study will determine the chronology of natural repopulation of fish and invertebrate species, provide basic water quality information and stream habitat information along the impacted reach.
Four University of Missouri (UMC) studies are currently being conducted in the Lamine River basin. A study to provide baseline information on species composition and relative abundance and biomass of macroinvertebrates in Richland and Flat creeks as well as the mainstem Lamine River is completed. Major habitats sampled were riffle, snag, water willow (Justicia americana) and pool. Riffle and snag habitats in all streams had the greatest biomass which were dominated by filter feeding Trichoptera. While these two habitats contributed the greatest biomass per unit area, they comprised less than four percent of the total area. Results indicate that any efforts to increase total area available in either of these habitat types (such as artificial riffles or tree revetments) will result in positive increases of invertebrate densities and biomass in these streams.
A second study is being conducted to monitor fish communities in headwater creeks of agricultural watersheds throughout Missouri including Cheese, Flat, Henry and Spring Fork creeks in the Lamine River Basin. The study is designed to compare fish communities in watersheds that have received special land treatment (SALT) to those that have not. In addition to fish sampling, data related to stream health such as invertebrate abundance and diversity, frequency of flow, substrate composition, oxygen concentrations, temperature, nutrient and suspended solid concentrations and habitat variables also are being collected. Objectives are to determine whether these variables respond to the farmland management program and to relate differences in stream characteristics to differences in fish community structure among the streams.
A third study recently initiated by UMC personnel involves fish and habitat sampling on Haw and Gabriel creeks. Objectives of the study are as follows: 1) to develop useful models, and test and refine existing models, relating habitat characteristics to fish community structure and to density and biomass of smallmouth bass and other centrarchids; 2) to determine microhabitat preferences of several stream fish which would be used in developing habitat suitability curves for habitat evaluations or instream flow evaluations specific to Ozark border streams; and 3) to evaluate the applicability of currently used biological indices of fish communities as measures of stream integrity to Ozark border streams.
For further information or copies of annual reports on the three UMC studies listed above, contact Dr. Charlie Rabeni, 112 Stephens Hall, UMC, Columbia, Missouri 65211.
One other project involves the lower two miles of the Lamine River near its confluence with the Missouri River. The project objective is to determine relative and seasonal abundance, growth rates and condition of juvenile catfish in various habitats of the Missouri River including the lower portions of tributaries. Sampling was conducted on the Lamine River from July 1988 to November 1989 with small mesh hoop nets.

Friedrich Hayek and the Future of Liberty
Recorded: Wednesday, May 16, 2001
Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992) left such a profound mark on economic and political thought that The New Yorker has called the 20th century, "The Hayek Century." After converting to free-market capitalism and classical liberalism in the 1920s, Hayek became one of socialism's and statism's staunchest critics. His 1944 bestseller, The Road to Serfdom, warned of central government planning's authoritarian, and even totalitarian, tendencies- and helped reignite worldwide interest in the philosophy and practice of freedom. Although Hayek's 1974 Nobel Prize in Economic Science brought renewed interest in his ideas, it wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Bloc (which Hayek predicted) that his vast writings on economics, political philosophy, law, history, culture, and other fields became broadly recognized as essential to achieve a prosperous, humane and free society. Biographer Alan Ebenstein and economist Charles Baird shed light on Hayek's seminal legacy and the rebirth of freedom.

Take a few moments...
by Heather Rivera
posted Sep 11 2013 6:18AM
Do you remember where you were today 12 years ago?...
I was living in St. Petersburg, FL. When the first plane hit, I was finishing up curling my hair, getting ready to head out to work- MIddays at a Classic Rock station/ 102.5. I remember Ted turning on the tv and a few minutes later yelling out to me, 'Hon a plane hit the Twin Towers.' I ran out of the bathroom to see what he was talking about, and shortly after we both saw the 2nd plane hit. It was something out of a movie. This couldn't be real, but it was. I headed into work, and experienced so many emotions... Everyone's experience 12 years ago was different, but the one thing I remember the most is how we pulled together as a nation dealing w/ thousands of lives that were lost. Neighbors were helping neighbors... strangers helping strangers... Flags being flown to let the world know 'We Stand United'!
Here is a poem that I have kept a copy w/ me all these years, and I share it each year on this day. This poem was written by a 4th grader, Christine Morrison from Salem, Ohio, as she watched the tragedy unfold on tv with the Twin Towers collapsing into heaps of dust.
The dust, the smoke, the clouds
from the dust of September
The sadness, the sorrow, the darkness
from the dust of September
The pretty sites are gone, the love, the death
from the dust of September
The families, the lives taken away
by the dust of September
Our country is sad, but our country still stands
in the dust of September
Our flag still waves
through the dust of September
We will never break, we will stand together
through the dust of September
People hurt, hearts broken, but we survive
in the dust of September.
Dear Abby's message to her readers on the 1 Year Anniversary of September 11th, when she shared this poem fits today.
"If Sept. 11 taught us anything, it is how strong the people of this great country can be when they are called upon. To the families and friends who lost loved ones a year ago today (12 years about today 9/11/13), you are in the hearts of all Americans. Our prayers are with you.
Give your loved ones, family and friends extra hugs today. Be nice to each other, which is something we should all try to do each day.

The Saturday Skinny: Technology has its place in weight loss planBy: Don Chaddock, Gold Country News Service
There are a few tools I have found extremely helpful in my quest to lose weight and many of them are free. When I started this journey back in December 2010, I weighed in at 303 pounds. My youngest daughter, Deirdre, was born that month and I found myself struggling to keep up with her and her 2-year-old brother Liam. That's when I decided I had to do something. It took me 10 months to lose 20 pounds as I bounced in and out of diets, usually returning to my old habits once I had lost a few. Finally, something clicked in October 2011. If I wanted to truly lose weight and keep it off, I had to change my entire lifestyle, not hop on the bandwagon for some short-term quick-fix diet. As of today, I weighed in at 191 pounds, having lost 112 pounds total. At a recent birthday gathering for a friend, she asked the same question everyone seems to ask me, "How did you do it?" That's the purpose of this column, to pass along what I've learned. Let's take a look at some handy tools I use to help me along my way. I have an iPhone, but most smart phones have similar available free apps. While I often focus this column on food choices, exercise is crucial to losing weight. My body can't drop pounds with just diet alone. I need to get my body moving. As I've heard, "If you aren't moving, you aren't losing." EXERCISE I find a pedometer extremely helpful. I currently use the Vioden Mobile Free Pedometer. It keeps track of my steps, how long I hiked, the distance and estimated calories burned. I also use the Free Ab Workout app. I can tell it how long I'd like to exercise and it creates a routine. If you don't have a smart phone, look around the Web for free sites to help you on your journey. I also use the Wii Fit Plus and Biggest Loser for the Wii. Both with track weight, offer exercise routines and keep things fun. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING If my attitude stinks, I am more likely to make poor choices when it comes to eating and exercising. I also find a quick walk or a hike on a trail is a great way to clear my head and adjust my attitude. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Veggie meal I find this to be a quick lunch or dinner that tastes great. 1 veggie patty (I use Trader Joe's brand, but any will work) 1 handful of raw spinach 2 large tomatoes 1 tablespoon yogurt dressing Cook the veggie patty (or substitute with a lean cut of meat such as chicken breast) and place on a bed of spinach, surrounded by fresh tomatoes and drizzle with a tablespoon of low-calorie yogurt dressing.

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by excessive lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Excessive intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) storage exceeds intracellular needs and induces lipotoxic events, ultimately contributing to the development of insulin resistance. Lipid droplet (LD)–coating proteins may control proper lipid storage in skeletal muscle. Perilipin 2 (PLIN2/adipose differentiation–related protein [ADRP]) is one of the most abundantly expressed LD-coating proteins in skeletal muscle. Here we examined the role of PLIN2 in myocellular lipid handling and insulin sensitivity by investigating the effects of in vitro PLIN2 knockdown and in vitro and in vivo overexpression. PLIN2 knockdown decreased LD formation and triacylglycerol (TAG) storage, marginally increased fatty-acid (FA) oxidation, and increased incorporation of palmitate into diacylglycerols and phospholipids. PLIN2 overexpression in vitro increased intramyocellular TAG storage paralleled with improved insulin sensitivity. In vivo muscle-specific PLIN2 overexpression resulted in increased LD accumulation and blunted the high-fat diet–induced increase in protein content of the subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) chain. Diacylglycerol levels were unchanged, whereas ceramide levels were increased. Despite the increased IMCL accumulation, PLIN2 overexpression improved skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. We conclude that PLIN2 is essential for lipid storage in skeletal muscle by enhancing the partitioning of excess FAs toward TAG storage in LDs, thereby blunting lipotoxicity-associated insulin resistance.

Grants are financial assistance paid or services furnished by a state agency via a third party to an eligible recipient instead of acquiring by professional or technical contract, purchase, lease, or barter property or services for the direct benefit or use of the granting agency.
Grants always involve three parties: the state agency with authority to make the grant, the outside entity that will administer the grant or deliver the service, and the final recipient of the service.
A grant agreement is a class of contract which provides the transfer of cash or something of value to a recipient to support a public purpose authorized by law. Grant agreements are different from other contracts in many key ways.
State agencies do not have general or automatic grant making authority. The authority for grants must be specifically stated in the statutes and is generally directly related to the appropriations that fund them. Some agencies, such as Trade and Economic Development, have long-term programs that authorize grants and loans. Most other situations are appropriation specific.
The Department of Administration's Office of Grants Management (OGM) is charged by Minnesota Statutes 16B.97 to standardize, streamline, and improve state grant-making practices. A tool used to accomplish this mission are 13 comprehensive grants management policies that apply to all Executive Branch agencies, boards, commissions, councils, authorities, and task forces.
To review all current grants policies visit our Policies, Statutes and Forms page. More information about our office can be found on the About page.
As a general principle, grants distributed by an agency should be done in a fair and equitable manner, which is usually done through some form of public notice. Each state agency may differ in how it notifies the public and solicits requests for proposals (RFP), but the agency should have a defined process that ensures a fair and equitable distribution. Per Grants Management Policy 08-03, competitive grant opportunities shall be publicized as broadly as possible and at a minimum, must be posted on the granting agency's website.
Minnesota Statutes 15.994 requires state agencies with Internet sites to provide information on grants available through the agency and are encouraged to provide a link to the grant application under Minnesota Statutes 16E.20. In addition, state agencies are encouraged to develop systems for electronic grant application submission.
Examples of appropriate public notice:
The RFP should contain the following:
If you have any questions about public notice, ask your Agency Contract Coordinator, the Office of Grants Management, or Assistant Attorney General.
Be aware that the statutory provisions for conflict of interest apply to everyone involved in the grant award process; including state and nonstate employees. Relevant statutes are Minnesota Statutes 10A.07, 15.054, 15.43, 16C.04, 43A.38, 471.87.
Grants Management Policy 08-01, the Conflict of Interest Policy for State Grant-Making, addresses potential conflicts of interest in the grant award process. This policy also applies to organizations that are current state grantees or grant applicants. Grants Management Policy 08-01 includes procedures to avoid both individual and organizational conflicts of interest.
The following are some definitions created by the commissioner of Administration related to conflicts of interest:
There are a number of guidelines on the issue of conflict of interest in Minnesota statutes. Additionally, most state agencies have agency specific statutes, rules and policies. This section does not attempt to cover all of these, but focuses on the major statutory standards and on some of the obligations and responsibilities that flow from them. For questions as to whether or not something is a conflict of interest, contact your agency's ethics officer.
The message delivered by the statutes listed above is clear and simple:
Grants Management Policy 08-04 states that Minnesota state agencies must use a written grant agreement for all grants made by the agency. It is essential to write clear duties and expectations of the grantee into the grant contract. Careful drafting ensures that the parties to the contract have achieved an understanding and have mutually agreed on the terms of the grant agreement, such as duties, quality of performance, time of performance, and terms of payment. Careful drafting avoids future disputes, which are costly and waste valuable resources.
An ambiguous grant agreement may result in failure to obtain the services the agency assumed were contained in the contract. Agencies may find it difficult to require grantees to perform duties that are not clearly and specifically stated. Ambiguous grant agreements lead to amendments that are used to clarify items that should have been in the original contract. The written grant agreement is generally the only thing that counts in a dispute over whether the grantee has fulfilled his promises.
In a legal action, any ambiguity will be interpreted against the party in the more powerful position; in most cases the agency, so a provision that can be interpreted against the agency most likely will be. Don't take for granted that something you and the grantee have discussed and verbally agreed upon will happen. If it is not written in the grant agreement, it is not enforceable.
Suggestions for clear drafting
First and foremost you must answer who, what, when, where, and how much. Answering these questions with specific detail is a great start to grant agreement drafting. Thinking through the following list of issues will help you get the most from your grantee.
Sample Grant Agreement
Sample Grant Agreements are available on the Policies, Statutes and Forms page. Since each grant is unique, the sample forms may have to be modified. Agencies are strongly encouraged to contact us and their Assistant Attorney General to review any modifications to these forms.
Grants Management Policy 08-08 requires that state agencies specify the method and schedule of payments for each grant in the grant agreement. Reimbursement is the preferred method for making grant payments. Although they are not preferred, advance payments on grants may be allowed in certain situations. Advance payments on grants shall be negotiated between the state agency and grantee on a case by case basis. Please review Grants Management Policy 08-08 for additional information.
When entering the grants into the State wide Integrated Financial Tools (SWIFT) system agencies should follow Minnesota Management and Budget's guidance for properly coding grant payments to the correct expenditure object code and the correct accounting period. Don't forget that the prompt payment statute, Minnesota Statutes Section 16A.124, subdivision 3, applies to grants.
Any amendments to the terms of the grant agreement must be made according to a fully executed amendment. A memo to the grantee indicating changes is not legally binding and is not sufficient to make the changes. Please see Grants Management Policy 08-12 for additional information on grant amendments.
It is very important that the amendment is in place before the grant agreement expires. This will avoid any liability that may occur for not having an agreement in force when the grantee is working. Grant agreements may only be amended within the scope of the original grant. An amendment must be clearly identified and written, and properly executed any time the grantee and agency agree to a change in any provision of the grant agreement. All amendments must be clearly numbered and must be approved in the same manner as the original grant agreement. The amendment should indicate why the original agreement was changed. You need to detail in the amendment WHY the amendment is necessary. All grant agreement amendments should be drafted using the format of the sample amendment, available on the Policies, Statutes and Forms page.
It is the responsibility of the granting authority to monitor its grantees' performance. Grants Management Policy 08-10 states that agencies must conduct at least one monitoring visit per grant period on all state grants over $50,000 and at least annual monitoring visits on grants over $250,000. In addition, agencies must conduct a financial reconciliation of grantees' expenditures on grants over $50,000.
Agencies typically utilize a combination of monitoring techniques to effectively monitor their grantees. The following are various examples of how an agency may monitor performance.
This checklist may serve as a guide as you move through the approval process.

City leaders are unveiling their plans to protect those living near the Waldo Canyon burn scar from the heightened risk for flash flooding.
The issue took center stage at the mayor's meeting in Colorado Springs on Wednesday. The city has received close to $1 million in federal funding, including a grant for 100 thousand sand bags for nearby neighborhoods. The city also plans to replant vegetation in the spring.
"The ground just does not absorb the water and so as we look at flood risks, we want to make sure we educate the community; we're going to have a series of meetings, so they can understand how to be prepared and what we're doing as well," Bret Waters, Emergency Manager Director said.
The city will hold a series of flood risk meetings for the public. The first one will be held on January 29 from 6-8 p.m. at the Sanctuary at Front Range Alliance Church, 5210 Centennial Blvd.

Mountain Troll
this wiki
The mountain troll is a breed of troll. They are the largest and the most vicious kind of their species. They are often depicted as bald and pale-grey. They sometimes use Graphorns as mounts, which results in scars due to the Graphorns not liking it.
A band of mountain trolls were wreaking havoc in Liechtenstein, which led to Pierre Bonaccord's position as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards being challenged by the local wizarding community, as he tried to ban troll-hunting and grant them rights at the time.
The Troll that Professor Quirinus Quirrell let into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during Hallowe'en in 1991 was a mountain troll. It was defeated in the girl's bathroom by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. This troll was a diversion so that Professor Quirinus Quirrell could attempt to get past Fluffy to capture the Philosopher's Stone for his master, Lord Voldemort.

Question: If it is a full moon in Australia, is it also a full moon on the other side of the world?
Answer: The phases of the Moon are the same all around the world. Any two places that can see the Moon at the same time will see the same phase.
Each Moon phase happens at a precise point in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, and hence at a precise moment in time. This is the same moment all over the world, but will be a different local time for every time zone in the world.
For example, the first full moon of the 21st century occurred at 8:24pm on 9 January 2001, Universal Time. In Melbourne this moment was 7:24am on 10 January 2001, Australian Eastern Summer Time.
Of course opposite sides of the world will not be able to see the Moon at the same time. Only one half of the world will be able to see the moon when it is precisely at one of the phases. For the example I gave above, that Full Moon was visible from the United Kingdom, but not from Australia. The Moon had set in the west around two hours before it became full. However since the appearance of the Moon's phase does not change very quickly, the Moon would have looked very full when it set.
Hi Frederick,
The Moon rises in the east due to Earth's easterly rotation and Maine is 5 hours behind the UK. These website pages will show Moon rise and dates for UK and for Maine. To see the Moon at the same time, or simultaneously, choose a rising time & date for Maine. At that moment the Moon will already have risen in the UK some 5hrs earlier and therefore will be higher in the east due to Earth's rotation. There will be several hours during the night when it will be visible from Maine and the UK before it sets in the west first for a UK observer and then 5hrs later for someone in Maine. The same can be done for daytime risings of the Moon as it is quite slow in its month-long orbit (compared to the Earth's 24 hour rotation) so it will often be seen during the day.
http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/uk/london http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/usa/augusta
For more, plus a video, see:
Both places will see the moon the same. Whatever the phase of the moon (that is, how much of the moon's sunlit side is visible from Earth - crescent, quarter, half, full, etc..), every place on Earth will see it the same in the 24 hours it takes Earth to spin (rotate) once on its axis. The moon takes a month to orbit the Earth so in 24 hours it won't have travelled enough to make any obvious change to its phase. The only difference to how the moon can look will be which hemisphere you view from. The moon phase won't change but the moon (and star patterns too) will turn upside down (invert) if you travel far enough north or south of the equator which is simple geometry or change of viewing angle.
Hi Jennifer - we checked with one of our Astronomy specialists at the Planetarium, and they've answered as follows:
Alaska is in the high latitudes in the northern hemisphere. For part of the year in winter the Sun will be below the horizon for several weeks and won't rise each day. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis which is 23.5 degrees from vertical. Six months later in summer Alaska will have the Sun above the horizon for a similar amount of time. The further you are away from the equator, and so closer to either the north or south pole, the more extreme this winter versus summer pattern is. This summer/winter pattern is opposite for high latitudes in the southern hemisphere.
The Moon is very different thing. It takes a month to travel around (orbit) the Earth and can appear in the night or day. Apart from the Sun, it's the only thing in space we can see during the day because it's so close. In the 24 hours it takes the Earth to turn once (rotate) on its axis the Moon will eventually be seen from every place on Earth.
Hi William
Fiji lies 18 degrees south and on 2 November 2008 the moon was showing 14-15% of its illuminated surface (that is; a crescent phase looking like a capital "C" with horns or pointed ends). It rose around 6.30am in the East (ESE) and set about 8pm in the west (ESW). The key thing to know is when the photo was taken as during the day the moon's orientation will slowly change as the Earth rotates and it appears to travel across the sky. The crescent moon will appear to turn or rotate clockwise, but here are some sample times and orientations to help pin it down… 7am moon like a "C" leaning to right with horns pointing to lower right. 10am moon "C" turned fully sideways (lying horizontal) with horns pointing directly down. 1pm moon "C" turned further (like mirror image or reversed C) with horns pointing to right. 4pm moon "C" turned more with horns pointing to upper left. 7pm moon "C" turned (lying on its back) with horns pointing directly upwards. I hope this makes it possible to orient the photo as close to the correct time it was taken.
Hi Shyla, when you see the moon during the day, the other side of the world which is having night would not see the moon at that moment. And conversely, when you see the moon at night, the other side of the earth having daytime would not see it at that moment. It may help to picture the earth rotating once every 24hrs and realise that is faster than the moon's slower orbit around the earth, or, to put it the other way, the moon moves only a short distance in its orbit around the earth in the time earth completes a full spin.
Hi Pawan, good question! We often get the reverse; how much of the Moon can we see from Earth?
Yes, the Moon always has one side facing us because it turns once on its axis in the month it takes to orbit the Earth. It's said to be "tidally locked" to Earth. But the Earth turns on its axis too but much faster - once every 24 hours - so on the Earth-facing side of the Moon you would see most of the Earth over that 24 hour period. However, for part of that time some of the Earth will be dark in night time so you would need a few days to see all the countries, continents and oceans in daylight. Also, the Moon's orbit is at a small angle to Earth's equator so it would take a while to see all of the Earth's polar regions.
Hi Daizia,
The phases of the Moon are the same no matter where you are on the Earth at the same time. If the Sun is positioned on the other side of the Earth then it would be night time at your viewing location, and the Moon would still be in its current phase. As the Earth revolves on its axis, we go from day to night, however the Moon, although it does revolve about the Earth, does not move a lot in relation to the Sun, so the phase stays the same no matter where you observe from.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Matt,
If you're on the Moon looking at the Earth, then at some part of the day you would be able to see on one side of the Earth Okinawa and on the other side Minot, North Dakota. Conversely at the same time you would be able to see the Moon from both of these places.
If you look at the following website you can calculate the rise and set times of the Moon at any location around the world.: Geoscience Australia - Compute Moonrise & Moonset Times
Okinawa is at latitude 26.5 degrees North and longitude 128 degrees East, and Minot is 48.13 North and 101.7 West, so using the table you can see that on the 10th of January this year the Moon will rise at 21:20 UT (06:20 local time) in Okinawa while at Minot it will rise at 13:15 (7:15 local time) and set at 22:23. This means that on this date both locations will be able to see the moon for an hour.
Hi Chris - We think the Moon infosheet may help explain this a bit better; if you look at the diagrams on this page showing the phases of the moon, they depict the view from the southern hemisphere. From the northern hemisphere then these are the other way around because we are effectively "upside down". At first quarter, as you can see the Moon rises about midday so the Sun would be shining on its left side.
Hope this of some help
The Moon phases are the same the whole world over. The time the Moon rises and sets however vary depending on your location. The Geoscience Australia website has a tool you can use to help you calculate rise and set times.
A new Moon cannot be seen, but will be just visible as a crescent morning the day after very low down in the morning sky. You might also want to have a look at the Museum's Moon infosheet for further information.
Hello Terry,
There was a New Moon on Monday 23rd so no Moon could be seen for a couple of days either side of that. Check out Skynotes for this information. http://museumvictoria.com.au/planetarium/discoverycentre/skynotes/
So when you were near the equator on the 29th December the crescent moon in the early evening would be waxing (just after a new moon) and would be halfway between facing left and right, just like a boat.The red/orange colour is due to atmospheric pollution, most likely due to volcanic ash or bush fire smoke.
Hi Lynne, the bright object next to the Moon last Saturday was Venus. Just below it was the planet Mars, which is slightly orange/red in colour and not very bright. There is also a bright star called Spica very near as well, but this is nowhere near as bright as Venus. You can find more info in the Planetarium Skynotes.
Hi Josh, Imogen, Leila, Sam, Alycia and Obi,
The colour of the Moon is very subtle: it has soft shades of grey, black and white, and regions of browns, blues and yellows. We generally say there are four phases of the Moon. New, First Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter. See the Moon Phases page of our website.
It is actually possible to see the whole Moon during the crescent moon phase. Sometimes there is so much light reflected from the Earth (Earthshine), that it lights up the part of the Moon that is not lit up by the Sun: we see the bright crescent Moon as well as the pale remainder of the Moon. As the Moon phase moves towards the Full moon, the Moon is so bright you can no longer see the arthshine on the Moon. The Moon has to be in the right position for the Earth to reflect the Sun's light onto the Moon's night side; this only happens just after the New Moon. This is called the Da Vinci Glow. You can find out more about it on the NASA website.
The diameter (width) of the moon is 3475.6 km (0.272 x that of Earth). The moon is (on average) 384 400 km from the Earth. The Moon does not have a moon of its own. You can learn more about The Moon on our website.

|editThree-Headed Guardian Beast
|Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive
|Appears in
The Three-Headed Guardian Beast, commonly called Three-Heads, is a creature sealed in Yumegakure that appears in Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive.
Initially, the Three-Heads appeared as a giant monster with a body similar to that of a lion and three heads. Its skin is mostly white and has dark purple on several places, including the underbelly. It has beige-coloured armour above the main head on which there are several small, red markings and a row of spikes. The other two heads come out of each side of the armour. It has light yellow-green markings under each head's small eyes and thin and sharp teeth.
After Gensui allowed the Three-Heads to absorb him its appearance changed greatly. Its entire body becomes covered in dark grey armour with pinkish-red markings on several places. Its original armour increases in size and it gains spikes on the end of its tail, as well as pink armour on its underbelly. The necks of the three heads now seem to be composed on thick tissues and are much longer. The heads themselves are covered in purple armour with several spikes and red markings and their rows of teeth are larger now.
It is said to be a solid concentration of energy that brings about cataclysms. It is said that the first cry of the beast scorches mountains and plains, the second shakes the earth, and the third returns all to nothingness. In a distant past, even before the Great Ninja War, the seal on the Three-Heads was released, just once. According to one account, even though the monster cried once, the number of dead was easily over a thousand.
When it was unsealed by Ryuka, its power was weakened due to having been sealed for so long. But after Gensui allowed himself to be absorbed by the beast most of its original power returned. While fighting Team Kakashi it showed to be able to emit chakra from its body to bring about negative status effects with its physical attacks, including poison. It also showed a powerful roar that can stun everyone around it and an attack similar to a Tailed Beast Ball: a powerful beam of purple-pink chakra fired from its mouth. It can also fire one from each mouth at once.
The Three-Headed Guardian Beast is greatly influenced by Cerberus of Greek Mythology. Cerberus was a 3-headed hellhound and Hades' loyal watchdog. Cerberus is an influence to the Three-Heads' name since it is also a three-headed beast tasked with guarding the gates of the Underworld, letting only the spirits of the dead inside but preventing them from leaving.
In many folklore, hellhounds are large in size and have red eyes, a possible nod to the Three-Heads' large size and red eyes after absorbing Gensui. Hellhounds are also associated with fire and death, possible influences to the Three-Heads' first cry which scorches the mountains and the plains, bringing about death.
- The Three-Heads is very similar to the tailed beasts in that it is a living form of energy that can bring disaster.

I usually travel with black bags. I do that for a number of reasons: low profile, not standing out, darker bags seem to pass muster easier than brighter color bags when it comes time to weigh and measure. But, it also seems that 99.99999999999999999% of the other bags out there are also black. (Or it least it seemed that way the last time I went through security.) Easy pickings for a thief who can say they took my bag "by mistake." (Or an honest person not paying attention to the bag they're picking up.)
But not so with the new 400d Dyneema. No one makes bags in those colors/patterns except for Tom Bihn. So, it will be pretty difficult for anyone to just grab the bag and walk away without being spotted. And let's face it, the pattern/colors are easy to spot.

About Bill Blass
History and background of Bill Blass. In 1940, when Bill Blass left Indiana for New York's Seventh Avenue, fashion designers were hidden behind the closed doors of the manufacturers' studios where they produced designs for suits and dresses that would never carry their own names. But Blass stood apart from the crowd: he not only created chic ensembles, he fashioned a social and professional persona that demanded attention. Read more about Bill Blass

NOTE: Individuals are not allowed to attend University courses unless officially enrolled for class through the appropriate registration process.

Requirements to Affiliate with MSYSA
The process for an organization to become a direct affiliate member of the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA) is not difficult. You must have at minimun 3 teams within the club to be eligible to affiliate as a club. A letter requesting to become an affiliate of MSYSA coupled with specific information that is outlined below is all that is needed to fill the affiliation application requirement.
1.) Description of the organization, type of program, type of teams (recreation and/or travel), leagues in which its teams play and the approximate number of players and teams it expects to have participating during the seasonal year (September 1 – August 31).
2.) List of the organization's officers and directors to include address, telephone numbers and email address. This list should also designate the principle contact person.
3.) Copy of the organization's By-laws or other governing documents.
Please Note: Two (2) specific provisions must be included in such documents:
That the organization agrees to abide by all rules, policies and regulations of MSYSA, US Youth Soccer and US Soccer.
b.) That the organization will register all players, coaches and teams who participate in the organization's programs with MSYSA and other U.S. Soccer members at least annually and pay the appropriate registration fees to comply with U.S. Soccer's 100% affiliation rule.
4.) A check for the appropriate Affiliation Fee based upon the number of teams/players participating in the organization's programs:
a.) 1-15 Teams: $60.00
b.) 16-40 Teams: $115.00
c.) 41 or more Teams: $170.00
*For purposes of calculating the affiliation fee for organizations with recreation players, 15 players constitutes one team).
Please Note: The Affiliation Fee is a one-time fee provided the organization has at least one representative present at the MSYSA Annual General Membership (AGM) meeting. Should an organization not be represented at an MSYSA AGM then the applicable affiliation fee is due into the state office by September 30 of that year.
Complete affiliation request packets must be received by the state office for initial review a minimum of two weeks prior to the board meeting where the request to affiliate will be discussed. Once presented to the MSYSA Executive Board, notification of the decision will be forwarded within forty-eight hours. We look forward to the prospect of you affiliating with MSYSA. Our goal is to help you in anyway that we can. Please feel free to contact our office should you have any questions.

The Excalbians were a shapeshifting silicon-based lifeform, native to the planet Excalbia, described as being "almost mineral" and "like living rock with heavy fore-claws."
In 2269, the Excalbians became intrigued by Human notions of good and evil. They staged a contest between the two concepts, using Captain Kirk and Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise, and recreations of notable galactic historical figures.
Representing "good", were Kirk, Spock, Abraham Lincoln of Earth and Surak of Vulcan; representing "evil" were Kahless the Unforgettable of Qo'noS, Genghis Khan, Colonel Green of Earth and Dr. Zora of Tiburon. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")
Information about Excalbians was displayed on a computer graphic in Keiko O'Brien's classroom on Deep Space 9 in 2369, as a part of her lesson on comparative xenobiology. (DS9: "A Man Alone", "The Nagus")

Rush hour traffic on Greenville's Arlington Boulevard was snarled this afternoon because of a multi-vehicle accident.
The crash happened just before 5:00 p.m. at the intersection of Arlington and Turtle Creek Road.
Four lanes of Arlington Boulevard--two northbound, one southbound and the center turn lane--were closed.
Greenville police say an elderly driver pulled out in front of a mail truck that was heading north on Arlington Boulevard.
Both drivers were taken to Vidant Medical Center, but police say there were no serious injuries in the crash.

Comments On Feb 20, 2011:i use this on my raptor. pros:good quality,and good mounting point for rear fender. cons:the mounting of the number plate is a bad choice and because of it you have very little space for grabbing your quad(the point of a grab bar),also the number plate is kicking your legs when you are trying to use the grab bar,and the last con is the number plate is blocking the view of your tail light(and at night time this can be a pain). i gave it a 3 because of is quality,but would not by again on my Raptor,even now i am thinking to change it with something else(don't get me wrong,without the number it is ok but i bought this strictly for the number plate,i thick DG need to mount this on a Raptor 700 and adjust the mounting points for the umber plate)
