Management Problems
The management objectives and strategies for the East Osage River Basin Watershed Inventory and Assessment were developed to address the problems and opportunities for conserving and enhancing the aquatic resources within the basin. The MDC Strategic Plan, the Fisheries Division Operational Plan, the Lake of the Ozarks Fisheries Management Plan, the MDC Stream Areas Program Plan, the MDC Stream Access Acquisition Plan, and the MDC West Central Regional Management Guidelines indicate areas of future expanded resource management, public awareness, and access needs, and helped guide development of these objectives and strategies.
The following text describes the management objectives and strategies under six major goals: water quantity and quality, habitat, biotic community, public access and recreational use, informational and educational opportunities, and data inventory and maintenance. Completion of these objectives will depend upon their status in overall Department, Division, and Regional priorities and the availability of personnel and funds. Many of the objectives rely on interagency coordination. Revision of any and all of these objectives will occur as needed. In particular, ongoing and future studies associated with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's relicensing of the Osage Project (Bagnell Dam) will provide substantial amounts of new information that will be used to evaluate and revise objectives.
Status: Data were compiled for all known potential sources of water-related degradation in the basin. The beneficial uses and classifications of most third order and greater streams were evaluated, and numerous streams were recommended for upgraded classification in 1996 and 2001. Osage River discharge data were compiled from pre- and post-Bagnell Dam records maintained by the USGS. Information on discharge, river stage, water chemistry, water temperature, and aquatic communities is currently being collected and analyzed through contractual studies required of AmerenUE in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing process. Additional contractual studies and information are anticipated in 2002-2004, with a new Osage Project license scheduled to be issued in 2006.
Water Quantity
Objective I.1
Work with AmerenUE, USACE and other basin water regulators, during and following the FERC relicensing process, to improve aquatic habitat and recreational use by changing Osage Project operation to natural run-of-river (non-peaking) operation, or obtain mitigation measures which will result in equivalent or more benefits to natural resources and recreation.
Bagnell Dam
Problem/Opportunity: Bagnell Dam was constructed in 1931 for hydropower generation. AmerenUE operates the Osage Project plant under the auspices of the FERC, and the current license which expires in 2006. A new license is scheduled to be issued in 2006, and will be for at least a 30-year period. The Osage Project is a peaking plant with generation discharges usually occurring in the late morning through the evening, Monday- Friday, when power demand is at a peak. A minimum flow of about 455 cfs occurs 24 hours per day from a small "house" generator or turbine. The peaking operation creates rapid flow fluctuations, with low, drought-like flows followed by bankfull flows. As a result of the peaking and low flows, aquatic habitat and biota, and recreational use on the river have been negatively impacted. These impacts include: erosion of the river channel and islands, erosion and siltation of tributaries, loss of riparian habitat, channel widening and loss of depth at low flows - which strands aquatic life, sedimentation and loss of backwaters, changes in river flow that alter fish movement and spawning success, and cold water discharges from the lake that alter temperature and contain low levels of dissolved oxygen, and killing of fish going through the turbines (termed entrainment). Recreational use is affected by both low flows and high discharge rates, particularly the rapid changes in water levels and flow velocities. Fish kills have occurred due to low oxygen levels in the tailwater of Bagnell Dam. Some improvements have been made by cooperative efforts to increase oxygen by simple modifications in existing generation equipment and operational changes. However, DO still needs to be improved and other problems related to entrainment and fluctuating flows have not been adequately addressed. In addition, AmerenUE has requested amendments to the current license to upgrade four turbines. Increased discharge rates and potential problems with dissolved oxygen or entrainment of Lake of the Ozarks sport fishes must be addressed during the amendment comment period that is scheduled for late 2001 and early 2002. The relicensing process offers a rare opportunity to improve the Osage River for the next 30 years for fish, wildlife, and recreational use by balancing the need for hydro-power with the outstanding fisheries and tourism / recreational boon that Lake of the Ozarks offers. Guidelines can be developed to take advantage of opportunities to operate the dam in the best interests of Lake of the Ozarks, the Osage River, and the demand for power.
- MDC should participate in the FERC relicensing effort by attending stakeholder and subcommittee meetings.
- MDC should take the lead with other fish and wildlife and environmental agencies to work through the FERC relicensing effort under the 10J provision of the Federal Power Act to develop conditions to the new license which will develop Osage Project operations in ways which will enhance, protect, and mitigate for aquatic resources.
- MDC should work with AmerenUE and other stakeholders to compare upgraded operation of the Osage Project with run-of-river (non-peaking) and other operational alternatives and evaluate effects on aquatic habitats and native aquatic and riparian communities. Measurement or modeling of habitat conditions and diversity provided by operational alternatives will be needed for comparing operational alternatives, as required by FERC in the relicensing of the Osage Plant.
- MDC should inform other stakeholders of our vision for the continued maintenance of the quality fishery and recreational / tourism offered by Lake of the Ozarks and the improvement of the Osage River offered during and following the relicensing period.
- Stream Teams and other stakeholders should be encouraged to adopt streams in the basin particularly below Bagnell Dam to help with monitoring biota, water quality, and habitat.
- MDC should provide guidance in the development of standardized sampling methods for fish and macroinvertebrates and mussels in the Osage River to document improvements in habitat as changes in operation of Bagnell Dam are implemented under the new license. MDC should seek mitigation for habitat losses along MDC areas along the river and tributary streams impacted by the operation of Bagnell Dam.
- MDC should provide guidance in the monitoring of entrainment of fish through Bagnell Dam with the upgrades of any new turbines.
- MDC should provide guidance in the monitoring of discharge from Bagnell Dam to ensure that minimum flows and other flow regime changes are followed as outlined in the FERC license to be issued in 2006. Report violations of the license to AmerenUE, FERC, MDNR, and the Public Service Commission.
Objective I.2
Support the enactment of a State Water Law and other rules that will prevent negative downstream impacts from single or cumulative withdrawals.
Problem/Opportunity: Since there are inadequate water-use policies in Missouri, downstream users and government agencies have little recourse to regulate upstream water users and prevent them from withdrawing water that may impact aquatic organisms.
- Cooperate with and support MDNR in preparing a Missouri Water Policy which restricts water removal from streams for upstream uses.
- Work with MDNR and USACE, to protect or enhance stream flows through oversight and enforcement of existing water withdrawal permits.
- Work with federal/state entities toward interstate compact.
Water Quality
Bagnell Dam
Problems and Opportunities: Low dissolved oxygen and rapid temperature changes are common below Bagnell Dam. Some improvements have been made by AmerenUE in cooperative efforts to increase oxygen by simple modifications in existing generation equipment and operational changes. Additional improvements are possible with new technologies and with the turbine upgrades described in the water quantity objectives section. Low temperatures may be a continual problem as the depth of the intake structure on Bagnell Dam is below the thermocline and cold water discharged from the lake during the summer when LOZ is thermally stratified can impact fish and mussels.
- Recommend potential changes in the operation of Bagnell Dam during the FERC relicensing to increase dissolved oxygen and moderate temperature changes in the Osage River. Data for these changes will be forthcoming in the contractual water quality sampling and analysis slated for 2002 and 2003 by AmerenUE. Modeling of the water quality conditions using the collected data would be beneficial under the 401 certification required by MDNR and for comparing operational alternatives, as required by FERC in the relicensing of the Osage Plant.
- MDC should continue to work with AmerenUE to monitor dissolved oxygen levels with the new turbine upgrades.
Pollution Sources
Objective I.3
Continue to identify potential pollution sources within the basin and within the recharge areas of springs; evaluate their potential impacts on water quality and aquatic communities, and implement management strategies to monitor the potential impacts and reduce these threats.
Sewage Treatment Plants
Problem/Opportunity: Sewage treatment facilities of the Lebanon WWTP are chronically discharging poorly treated wastewater to the basin.
- Encourage MDNR to monitor compliance with permit limitations, and comment on plans to upgrade these facilities.
- Ensure that receiving streams are appropriately classified for protection of aquatic resources.
- Encourage Stream Teams to monitor sites below these facilities.
Sludge Application
Problem/Opportunity: Wastewater sludge stored in lagoons or applied to farmland can pose a threat to water quality. Application sites for sludge storage seem to be adequately monitored by the MDNR and 18 problems have been reported in the basin. Private haulers have only recently been required to obtain licenses and file reports, so limited information is available. There are a large number of private treatment systems in the basin, especially around LOZ, that depend on private haulers for sludge disposal. Locations of disposal sites within the watershed need to be determined.
- Obtain records for private haulers from MDNR, create a database, and plot sites on 7.5 minute topographic maps.
- Obtain annual reports each year and evaluate whether haulers are in compliance.
- Non-POTWs (Non-public owned treatment works)
Problem/Opportunity: There are large numbers of these systems in the LOZ area that handle considerable amounts of waste. They pose a significant threat to water quality if they are not monitored and properly maintained. The number of these systems is expected to increase with continuing development around the lake because many sites will not meet the requirements of the new regulations for conventional septic systems.
- Recommend strict permit review and compliance monitoring for these facilities by MDNR.
Animal Waste Point Source
Problem/Opportunity: Most of the permitted animal waste facilities in the watershed are hog confinement facilities. However, there are at least 14 large poultry operations and eight dairies within the basin.
- Encourage Stream Teams to monitor water quality and aquatic communities in the receiving streams below large facilities.
- Support legislation that reduces potential pollution of the surface and groundwater resources from the application of poultry, hog, and cattle waste.
Problem/Opportunity: The Lebanon Sanitary Landfill occasionally discharges leachate to Goodwin Hollow, a losing stream that is hydrologically connected to Niangua Darter habitat in the adjacent subbasin.
- Recommend that the MDNR inspect this facility, and ensure maximum water quality protection.
Agricultural Runoff
Problem/Opportunity: Wastewater of greater than 300 animal units from dairies and hog and poultry confinement facilities and dairies are regulated by the MDNR as point sources. They must meet minimum standards, and operations within the watershed appear to be gradually coming into compliance. Livestock in pasture are non-point sources that are less tangible and may represent a considerable source of contaminants. The amount of stream contamination can be reduced by good pasture management, erosion control, and providing filter strips in riparian corridors.
- Promote good pasture management, erosion control, revegetation of corridors, and livestock exclusion throughout the watershed.
- Cooperate with NRCS to implement alternative water systems incentive agreements throughout the watershed.
- Utilize other state and cost share programs such as AgNPS, EQIP, WHIP, and CRP to address non-point agriculture pollution problems in the watershed.
Water Quality Monitoring
Objective I.4
Ensure that water quality and aquatic communities are monitored adequately to provide early detection of stream and lake degradation and to evaluate possible effects of watershed and stream improvement projects.
Problem/Opportunity: Support continued water quality monitoring efforts in the Wet Glaize, Tavern Creek, Little Maries River, Lower Maries River, Lower Osage River, Miller County Osage River Hills, Gravois Mills, Cole Camp Creek, Turkey Creek, and Dry Auglaize Creek Subbasins to document improvements from animal waste treatment facilities and from continuing efforts to reduce agricultural runoff.
- Encourage Stream Teams to adopt strategic sampling sites in the basin.
Fish Kills
Problem/Opportunity: Several fish kills have been documented in the basin. Most have been associated with either the operation of Harry S Truman Dam and Bagnell Dam or sewage discharge from a number of municipal and non-municipal sources sewage treatment facilities within the basin.
- Assist state and federal agencies with enforcement of water pollution laws by cooperating with pollution and fishkill investigations.
- Cooperate with the Truman Project Office of the USACE to set spillway outflow limits and turbine use guidelines and minimize releases harmful fish below Truman Dam.
- Cooperate with MDNR to minimize future threats from Truman Dam or Bagnell Dam due to the addition of new turbines or discharge manipulation.
- Cooperate with MDNR to minimize future threats from municipal and non-municipal sewage treatment plants within the watershed and spring recharge areas.
Fish Contamination
Problem/Opportunity: During the previous sample periods, largemouth bass collected from the basin have shown elevated levels of mercury.
- Continue to collect fish for contaminant and heavy metal analysis by MDOH from Lake of the Ozarks and selected tributary streams every year per MDOH guidelines.
- Cooperate with MDOH in informing the public about health advisories and the impacts of fish contamination.
Fish Contaminant Sampling
Problem/ Opportunity: MDC cooperates with the MDOH to sample fish for contaminant and heavy metals in public waters around the state. Increases in the heavy metal mercury have occurred in waters in the basin. In addition, recent changes related to fish advisory levels for mercury were adopted by EPA. In June 2001 a statewide advisory was issued for all waters for pregnant or nursing women, and children under the age of 12 who eat largemouth bass greater than 12 inches.
Beneficial Use Attainment
Objective I.5
Evaluate all classified streams to ensure that appropriate beneficial uses are being attained and recommend upgraded classifications as necessary.
Problem/Opportunity: Some third-order streams in the watershed remain unclassified.
- Identify appropriate classifications and beneficial uses for remaining unclassified streams and recommend upgraded classification to MDNR.
- Problem/Opportunity: Efforts to protect Niangua darter habitat with a special classification have failed to win Clean Water Commission approval. Classification could be used to require stricter limitations in NPDES Permits that discharge to streams within critical habitat. "Outstanding State Resource" classification would also provide better protection for these streams.
- Propose, once again, that Niangua darter known range be given special classification "Critical Habitat for Rare and Endangered Aquatic Species," or alternatively, "Outstanding State Resource."
Objective I.6
Promote programs that enhance groundwater recharge in the watershed and spring recharge areas.
Problem/Opportunity: Springs are the main source of sustained flow in streams during periods of low precipitation. Since aquatic communities can experience great stress under these conditions (low dissolved oxygen and high temperatures), adequate flow and good water quality are essential. Springs in the watershed have not been monitored sufficiently to determine current conditions or detect change over time.
- Compile existing data on springs within the watershed.
- Cooperate with the USGS and MDNR to develop a plan to monitor strategic springs.
Watershed Projects
Problem/Opportunity: The amount of rainfall that percolates through the soil to recharge aquifers and maintain base flows is affected by land use and the amount of vegetation. Ungrazed, uneven-aged, woodland allows optimal percolation, and well-managed pastures improve the quality of runoff events.
Promote watershed practices that improve groundwater recharge, including cattle exclusion from woodlands, good pasture management, timber stand improvement, and conversion of pasture and open fields to woodland.
Support current and future Special Area Land Treatment Projects (SALT) as administered by the county Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Objective II.1
Ensure that instream projects within the watershed do not interfere with natural stream processes.
Osage Lock and Dam at RM 12.1
Problem/Opportunity: During the late 1890's the USACE developed a navigation plan to improve the Osage River for barge traffic. In this plan the USACE identified a series of Lock and Dams to be constructed at various intervals along the entire stretch of the Osage River. Only one lock and dam was constructed in the early 1900's by the USACE at RM 12.1. This lock and dam now has the lock removed but the dam serves as an impediment to fish migration during some parts of the year. When the Missouri River is low and no generation occurs, fish cannot get over the dam, or if the Missouri River is low and generation flows are not high enough to over top the lock and dam, the velocities in the narrow opening to the lock exceed the swimming ability of many sportfish, preventing them from migrating upstream. The Osage Lock and Dam is currently under private ownership as the USACE deeded the property back to the landowner. The lock and dam also presents a hazard to boaters and canoeists. A large amount of gravel and silt is present above the dam.
- Work with the landowner who owns the land where the Osage Lock and Dam is located and federal and other state agencies to investigate the feasibility of modifying the existing structure to improve the passage of fish at a variety of river flows and reduce hazards to recreational users.
- Work with AmerenUE in the FERC relicensing to evaluate Osage Project operational alternatives that would improve fish passage during fish and mussel spawning seasons
Channel Alterations
Problem/Opportunity: Many landowners and county and city governments still believe that channelization is an appropriate solution to bank erosion and flooding problems. Although some short-term reduction in bank erosion may be achieved, the negative side effects can be severe, including loss of habitat diversity, accelerated upstream and downstream erosion, headcutting upstream, and channel destabilization.
- Meet with landowners and local government officials who propose channelization projects to discuss their concerns and inform them about stream processes and the negative impacts of channel alterations, and recommend more appropriate remedies.
- Disseminate MDC literature and other information that describe alternative techniques to channelization.
404 Activities
Problem/Opportunity: A large number of Section 404 applications for instream construction and excavation are submitted for streams within basin.
- Review all 404, gravel excavation, bridge construction and other development projects that may impact streams and recommend appropriate action to maintain, improve or protect aquatic habitats.
- Recommend denial of 404 permits that require repeated stream crossing or recommend conditions that include installation of a temporary crossing under MDC supervision.
- Encourage Stream Teams to comment on 404 permits.
Problem/Opportunity: The permitting process for sand and gravel removal has become greatly simplified within recent years. The simplification of the application and approval process for applicants has reduced a very important component which has been beneficial in the past - direct contact between landowners or permittees and government employees from MDC, USACE, or MDNR. These contacts provided opportunities to inform the interested parties about stream processes and the meaning and justification for the permit conditions; learn about their experiences, techniques, and concerns; and otherwise establish a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship. In addition, greater involvement by USACE, MDNR, or MDC employees provided opportunity to make site visits and document pre-permit conditions, monitor compliance, and observe possible impacts. Now, when a general permit is issued, the MDC is usually not consulted and frequently the USACE makes no site inspection. Nationwide permits are usually issued with inadequate conditions to protect aquatic resources and without MDC input.
- Review 404 applications and inspect proposed sites whenever possible.
- Encourage the USACE to provide opportunities for regional fisheries personnel to comment on 404 applications that include requests for variances, crossing streams, or channelizations.
- Recommend that MDC Policy Coordination request changes in procedures to USACE General and Nationwide Permits. Include careful scrutiny of locations of proposed activities, onsite inspections where violations have occurred, and MDC notification of proposed activities.
- Recommend that MDC Policy Coordination continue to work with the Clean Water Commission and MDNR to control gravel mining through 401 certification.
Objective II.2
Determine flows necessary to sustain native communities of fish and other aquatic life, and to provide adequate spawning habitat for white bass, walleye, and other species.
Problem/Opportunity: Truman Dam prevents migration of LOZ white bass, walleye, paddlefish and other species to historic spawning sites upstream. White bass spawn below Truman Dam and Bagnell Dam on the Osage River. While some walleye may spawn below Truman Dam, the contribution to the LOZ fishery is speculative. Sauger are found in the Osage River below Bagnell Dam. Suitable spawning conditions for paddlefish are not available below Truman Dam. Spawning areas for paddlefish below Bagnell Dam are useless.
- Provide guidance in the development of fish sampling and spawning habitat assessment techniques on the Osage River for walleye and sauger.
- Develop recommendations for maintaining adequate flows below hydropower dams for white bass, walleye, sauger, and paddlefish using approved instream flow methodologies as recommended by Fisheries personnel. Such flows might also enhance paddlefish migration and susceptibility to anglers on the Osage River and Upper Lake of the Ozarks.
Objective II.3
Implement habitat improvement projects on public and private land.
Habitat Improvement Projects on Private Land
Problem/Opportunity: Riparian corridors are in poor condition on many watershed streams and cattle frequently have access to corridors and streams. The vast majority of stream frontage in the watershed is in private ownership.
- Implement landowner incentive programs through existing or new state or federal incentive program or assist county SWCDs to obtain federal or state grant money through: 319 Environmental Protection Agency grants, Rural Clean Water Program, Water Quality Improvement Practices (WQIP), AgNPS projects and MDC stream private land programs.
- Develop landowner cooperative projects (LCPs) in the basin. Target Maries River and Tavern Creek for promoting cost shares.
- Promote the adoption of streambank erosion control and riparian corridor establishment or protection practices for approval by the county Agriculture Executive Committee of FSA or the SWCD administered through the MDNR Soil and Water Conservation Program.
- Encourage landowners and urban residents to form watershed committees.
- Provide technical assistance and information to all landowners who request assistance and on-site consultation to those willing to establish and maintain stream corridors guidelines.
Problem/Opportunity: Promotional and educational efforts are necessary to inform landowners about cost-share programs and encourage participation.
- Promote and advertise stream improvement projects on Department areas and LCPs for demonstration purposes using Neighbor to Neighbor or SWCD Field Day events.
- Advertise and promote available stream habitat improvement cost-share programs through traditional and agricultural media; emphasize word-of-mouth advertising by neighbors.
- Sponsor a stream and watershed workshop for landowners, NRCS, FSA, USACE, and city and county officials which highlights problems and strategies for correcting them.
- Increase landowner awareness of MDC private stream programs through SWCD and Farm Bureau cooperative programs at the county level. Emphasize the economic benefits of well-managed streams.
- Cooperate with the MDC Outreach and Education Division to develop stream habitat improvement materials for use by local Vocational Agricultural instructors, FFA chapters, and 4-H clubs.
Habitat Improvement Projects on Public Lands
Problem/Opportunity: Area Plans are prepared periodically for MDC conservation areas.
- Inspect these areas and recommend corridor expansion or bank stabilization projects as necessary tocorrect problems and serve as demonstrations sites.
- Include monitoring and habitat improvement strategies for streams on these areas to correct problems.
Problem/Opportunity: The Saline Valley Conservation Area provides an excellent opportunity for managing aquatic resources.
- Inspect this area and recommend corridor expansion, bank stabilization projects, and fish habitat improvements to correct problems and serve as demonstrations sites.
Problem/Opportunity: Develop habitat improvement projects as demonstration areas on selected MDC lands in the basin.
- Develop several stream demonstration areas in the basin.
- Continue to monitor these projects and complete maintenance as necessary.
- Use these projects to demonstrate good stream management to the general public and agency personnel as appropriate.
Unique Habitat
Objective II.4
Identify and protect unique habitat in the watershed
Problem/Opportunity: Very little high quality bottomland forest was identified in the Natural Features Inventory of the basin. This is the result of one or more of the following common practices: clearing of bottomlands up to the stream edge; allowing cattle to graze the intact forests; and repeated logging of forests and excessive erosion along the Osage River from Bagnell Dam discharges. These forests are important and necessary components of the stream ecosystem. They provide essential habitat, help prevent streambank erosion, filter surface runoff and groundwater flow, reduce water temperatures by shading streams, and contribute woody debris and organic matter.
- Encourage landowners in the basin with bottomland forests or sites naturally suited for bottomland forests to protect and manage them.
- Encourage AmerenUE to work with landowners along the Osage River to mitigate for land lost as a result of discharges from Bagnell Dam. (Note that MDC is also a landowner along the river. )
- Protect the remaining bottomland hardwoods and look for ways of establishing bottomland hardwoods on MDC's Saline Valley, Smokey Waters and other MDC CAs.
Problem/Opportunity: Very few high quality wetlands were identified in the Natural Features Inventory. Wetlands were probably always a scarce resource in the watershed historically and many have been developed for pasture or cropland or suffered from changes in hydrology resulting from downcutting of the streambed of the Osage River due to releases from Bagnell Dam.
- Identify, protect, and enhance wetland habitat through purchases, easements, or other agreements.
- Recommend wetland creation at suitable sites on public lands.
- Implement management strategies outlined in the MDC Guidelines for Promoting Fishery Resources in Missouri Wetlands on all public areas and privately owned wetlands.
- Assist the West Central Region Wildlife personnel with workshops for other agency staff and landowners on the importance of managing wetlands for fish and other aquatic organisms.
- Assist MDC West Central Region personnel with workshops for loggers and landowners regarding proper methods of logging timber from riparian corridors and bottomland forests.
Problem/Opportunity: Two of the eight extant Niangua darter populations occur in the watershed. Habitat degradation is apparently still negatively impacting the Niangua darter. Nutrification and sedimentation are believed to be the most serious threats to the darter, as well as the rest of the natural fauna.
- Support continued habitat and water quality monitoring efforts in the Lower Maries River, Upper Maries River, Little Maries River, and Tavern Creek subbasins.
- Encourage Stream Teams to adopt monitoring sites in Niangua darter range.
- Identify, protect, and enhance Niangua darter habitat through purchases, easements, or other agreements.
Habitat Assessment
Objective II.5
Inventory aquatic habitat throughout the basin to provide descriptions of habitat conditions in representative reaches, and quantify various parameters to allow for comparisons between subbasins and with other Missouri watersheds.
Problem/Opportunity: Insufficient numbers of SHADs were conducted to adequately characterize the entire watershed. Most of the SHADs were completed during the 1990's, so it would be desirable to repeat them if surveys are conducted at additional sites. The Habitat Assessment Committee investigated possible alternatives to the SHAD that would provide more useful quantitative data from a watershed wide perspective. Analyses of remote sensing data, including aerial photography, digital orthophotography, and satellite imagery, are promising alternatives, however, current data on a sufficiently large scale is not readily available. A method for evaluating riparian corridors has been developed by several MDC personnel using aerial photographs, aerial videos, and other methods. Photographs were on hand for only a small portion of the watershed, so this method was not pursued for this plan.
- Another emerging method is digital image analysis of high quality helicopter videos or low altitude digital photographs.
- Implement the current habitat assessment methodology within the watershed.
- Incorporate site specific habitat observations on all Niangua darter snorkeling trips as determined from criteria developed by MDC's Rare Threatened & Endangered Species Fisheries Biologist.
Objective III.1
Protect and improve the status of threatened and endangered species, and implement state or federal recovery plans.
Problem/Opportunity: Niangua darter populations appear to be fairly stable in the Maries River but declining in Tavern Creek. Sampling in both subbasins needs to be expanded and compared to Mattingly's (UMC) sampling. No thorough, comparable survey has been conducted throughout Niangua darter range since Pflieger's in the 1970s and recent sampling procedures have been inconsistent.
- Conduct a thorough search of the Upper Maries, Lower Maries, Little Maries, and Tavern Creek subbasins for the Niangua darters distribution.
- Recommend to the MDNR that all known range of the Niangua darter be classified as "Critical Habitat for Rare and Endangered Aquatic Species," or failing that, as "State Outstanding Resource Waters."
- Conduct a multi-district survey of known range to evaluate current status and consider elevation of federal status to "Endangered."
- Target the Lower Maries River, Upper Maries River, Little Maries River, and Tavern Creek subbasins for intensive promotion of stream incentive programs and SSA.
- Identify, protect, and enhance Niangua darter habitat through purchases, easements, and cost shares. Highlight expansion priorities of MDC area plans as they are developed.
- Carry out recommendations in the Niangua Darter Recovery Plan and actively participate on the Niangua Darter Recovery Team.
- Adopt a standardized monitoring plan for Niangua darters and maintain a statewide database.
Problems and Opportunities: Lake sturgeon and shovelnose sturgeon have historically been found in the basin (Pflieger 1970). Lake sturgeon have been documented by MDC biologists from both Lake of the Ozarks and below Bagnell Dam as late as 1998 (Stoner 2000). Opportunities may exist for managing this species in the Osage River below Bagnell Dam (MDC Lake Sturgeon Plan 1992).
- Conduct standardized sampling for sturgeon in the Osage River below Bagnell Dam as outlined in the MDC Monitoring Evaluation Study (Gemming, 2001).
- Determine suitable habitat and river flows that are conducive to spawning success for lake and shovelnose sturgeon, and recommend these flows be discharged from Bagnell Dam during the spawning season.
Problems and Opportunities: Sauger are primarily found in the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, however, sauger are frequently caught by anglers in the Osage River below Bagnell Dam. Several state record sauger from the Osage River have been recorded in the past ten years. Walleye are found in the Osage River, Lake of the Ozarks and some of the tributary streams. Walleye and sauger are frequently found below the Lock and Dam on the Osage River. Opportunities exist for managing these two species in the Osage River. Continuous water flow is needed to stimulate walleye gonadal development as determined in an MDC study conducted below Truman Dam (DiStefano 1994).
- Provide guidance in the development of sampling techniques for sauger in the Osage River during late January thru early March as sauger spawn at cooler water temperatures than walleye.
- Provide guidance in the development of management strategies for these two species such as recommending water flows for Bagnell Dam that enhance spawning habitat and gonadal development of mature adults and harvest regulations as needed.
Problem/Opportunity: Thorough fish community samples have not been conducted in all subbasins of the East Osage River Basin.
- Conduct periodic, thorough fish community sampling at historic collection sites as well as new sites for subbasins which have not historically been well sampled.
Problem/Opportunity: Comprehensive invertebrate sampling has not been conducted in the basin. Sampling is scheduled for summer and fall 2001 on the Osage River in conjunction with the FERC relicensing of Bagnell Dam.
- Encourage Stream Teams to assist with sampling.
Problem/Opportunity: A diverse mussel community historically occupied the basin. In consideration of mussel decline throughout the Midwest and the lack of recent watershed sampling, a thorough mussel survey is warranted.
- Evaluate the results of the mussel survey planned by AmerenUE in conjunction with FERC relicensing and recommend periodic sampling be conducted as required.
- Special considerations should be given to the federally endangered pink mucket and efforts made to restore it to its original habitat.
Problem/Opportunity: All subbasins offer opportunities for producing high quality fisheries.
- Identify and prioritize the native sportfish most suitable for increased management and implement a plan for sampling.
- Develop strategies for managing selected sportfish species such as: paddlefish, walleye, sauger, smallmouth bass and catfish on the Osage River and tributary streams.
- Assess the impacts to sportfish of Truman Dam and Bagnell Dam operations and to Lake of the Ozarks and streams within the basin.
Problem/Opportunity: Management actions targeting one or more game species can have unexpected negative impacts on non-game fishes and invertebrates. Several listed rare, threatened, and endangered species are found in limited number in the watershed.
- Evaluate the potential impacts of sportfish management activities on non-game fishes and invertebrates before and after implementation.
- Avoid special management areas in designated critical habitat for state or federally listed rare, threatened or endangered species.
Problem/Opportunity: All tributaries streams are important components of the fisheries and aquatic ecosystems of the basin.
- Implement all strategies of the LOZ Management Plan and this plan so they compliment one another.
- Be aware of problems which arise in the Osage River and LOZ which may negatively impact the basin (exotic species introductions; distributional changes of zebra mussels, bighead carp, black carp, or spined water fleas; etc.)
Objective IV.1
Provide additional MDC owned access to the Osage.
Problem/Opportunity: There is a demand for at least one stream access on the Lower Osage River to increase user convenience and encourage more uniform use throughout the basin.
- Priority should be given to land acquisitions in the basin that include stream frontage for access development and corridor protection/development.
Problem/Opportunity: Enhance accessibility at all MDC access and frontage areas within the watershed.
Problem/Opportunity: Area Plans have been or are being developed for five stream areas. There are no disabled user facilities at MDC stream areas in the watershed.
- Include public use objectives, including some disabled user facilities, in MDC area plans for public lands along streams in the basin.
Objective IV.3
Implement expansion plans as outlined in MDC area plans; focus on key expansions at Saline Valley, CA and Smokey Waters, CA.
Problem/Opportunity: Area Plans have been or are being developed for several stream areas.
- Highlight expansion needs and stress the need to fund these expansion areas.
Objective IV.4
Work with other divisions and agencies to address problems associated with increased public use in the basin.
- Work with other divisions to minimize vandalism and improper public use of MDC areas by improving designs and patrolling areas during heavy public use periods.
Objective V.1
Inform other agencies, local government officials, land developers, landowners, and the general public of water quantity and quality conditions and problems in the watershed.
Problem/Opportunity: Sound watershed management depends on our ability to increase public awareness and educate the general public, landowners, city and county officials, and industrial and residential developers on the importance of improving water quality, and generate an interest in water quantity and quality problems and solutions.
- Include the basin as a high priority for private landowner assistance within the West Central Region Private Land Plan.
- Coordinate private landowner assistance with Agricultural Services, NRCS, FSA, The Nature Conservancy, USACE and MDNR to cultivate mutual interests and concerns for land and stewardship issues.
- Incorporate information on Best Management Practices into MDC stream management workshops presented to local SWCDs, private industry, city and county governments and other agencies.
- Attend public meetings regarding highway construction, development projects, 404 permits, and state or federal watershed projects to inform the public about local water quantity and quality and watershed issues and the importance of reporting all pollution incidents to the MDNR and MDC.
- Write articles for local newspapers, Farm Bureau, University Extension, local SWCD, NRCS, and FSA newsletters, and conduct radio or TV programs concerning proper land use and local water quantity and quality problems and solutions.
- Work with MDC Outreach & Education Consultants to incorporate information into teacher workshops concerning watershed and stream issues, particularly the need to promote advocacy of these resources and the importance of local citizen involvement to solve local problems by forming Stream Teams.
- Seek opportunities to involve citizens and organizations in planning activities.

These databases must be readily accessible for general use and updating. They should also be compatible with those of other regions, divisions, and agencies to facilitate exchange of data.
- Prepare documentation for all watershed databases.
- Ensure that watershed databases are compatible with comparable statewide databases.
- Incorporate these data into MoRAP and the Statewide Resource Assessment and Monitoring Plan.
Objective VI.2
- Update watershed databases periodically to include the most current, accurate information.
Problem/Opportunity: Many of the watershed databases must be updated periodically to include the most recent data (e.g., 404 permits, fish collections). MoRAP is coordinating data preparation and maintenance of some databases throughout the state to increase compatibility and efficiency.
- Develop a plan for updating watershed databases periodically.
- Cooperate with MoRAP to improve database compatibility between agencies.
- Incorporate all data collected by AmerenUE during the FERC relicensing process into the MoRAP database and appropriate items in MDC's Natural Heritage Database.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The role of women in the military is changing. Leaders are ready to to eliminate the obstacles preventing women from holding thousands of combat and special operations jobs near the front lines.
Tuesday, the Department of Defense released the U.S. military services' and U.S. Special Operations Command's plans for allowing women to serve in previously closed positions.
Congress has to be notified before opening these positions, says the Department Of Defense.
The DOD says full implementation should occur by Jan. 1, 2016.

Louder than Life: Miss May I Vocalist Levi Benton's Levi Slop
Revolver Magazine | Sep 02, 2014 | Comments 0 | Tags: levi benton, Louder than Life, Louder than Life Cocktails, Louder than Life recipes, Miss May I
On October 4-5, the first-ever Louder than Life festival will bring music, whiskey, and "gourmet man food" together in Louisville, Kentucky. We're counting down to the big weekend with recipes from some of the performing artists themselves, as well as band-inspired cocktails courtesy of one of our favorite rock-and-roll bars, Idle Hands at 25 Avenue B in New York City. We'll be posting these every week until the last week of September when all the recipes and cocktails will be compiled in a Louder than Life eBook that will be available free download.
We're also offering you, the fans, the chance to get your favorite band-inspired recipe or cocktail in the eBook. Email your recipe to: email@example.com
For tickets and info on Louder than Life, visit: LouderThanLifeFestival.com.
Here is Miss May I vocalist Levi Benton's Levi Slop.
I always grew up on Ramen noodles because I never knew how to cook. But then after eating the same flavor for years you start throwing in some stuff. I always hated how dry they felt, so I started adding Italian dressing. Then I needed some protein–so I thought the laziest meat to get my hands on was canned tuna. Then the peas were added to fill the bowl so it was a hefty meal. After a while, my little brothers loved it and started asking for it. Now when they come my house, it's a nightly meal and a throwback for the whole gang.
- 1 pack of ramen noodles (chicken flavored)
- 2 cans of canned tuna (water)
- 2 tablespoons spoons of Italian dressing
- 1 can of peas
How to cook:
First off, I make the noodles and I keep the seasoning out until the end. Then, I add the tuna after draining it. Next, pour the Italian dressing in to your liking. Mix together, then add the can of peas on top of the chicken seasoning and give it one more mix and you should be good to go!

A female inmate is claiming she had sexual intercourse with the guard.
It's business as usual in cell block B as inmates carry on their daily duties, but that block is now at the center of an internal investigation.
Sheriff Morris Young says a female inmate claims she and a rookie correctional officer had consensual sex in the county jail.
Sheriff Morris Young says, "We were conducting another investigation that she was involved in and she immediately told us about the allegations about the correctional officer."
Investigators say the alleged sexual encounter took place in the cell block. At this time the officer has resigned.
Sheriff Young says the correctional officer resigned after being questioned about the incident. If the findings prove true the correctional officer may be looking at jail time.
Sheriff Young adds, "After the investigation is done there's a possibility that charges can be filed on this correctional officer."
This is the second time the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office has had to deal with sexual misconduct allegations. In 1996, a female inmate, Cassandra Collins, claimed she was raped by former jail administrator Roosevelt Baker while serving time at the facility.
Collins championed for a bill making any sex, consensual or not, illegal between inmates and jailers.
For now the sheriff will not release the name of the officer who is at the center of the storm. If convicted he may be the first officer in Gadsden County to be sentenced under the law that resulted from sexual misconduct at that same facility.

Yeah, you've seen them being hauled on yaks, headed for Everest Base Camp on the North side. Perhaps it was that die hard climber you saw in Kennedy Airport on his way to some far off climbing destination and as he weaved his way through the suits a base camp duffel was his companion, carried like a backpack. For a split moment you pictured yourself, sans briefcase and suit, swapping places with the unshaven yet striking figure. Wherever you may have seen one, if you're like me, you've come to realize that when it comes to duffel bags that can take whatever you can dish out the Base Camp Duffel from The North Face is the standard.
So I finally picked one up a couple of months ago. Now I, like that climber in Kennedy Airport, can toss all my cams, a rope, a harness, change of clothing, down jacket, et al into the duffel and head out on an adventure. Or, like the two weeks ago I can put my Scarpa Spirit 3 ski boots, my crampons, and the rest of my ski mountaineering gear into the duffel and head out to Mt. Hood to climb and ski the WyEast face. Regardless of the trip I get the feeling that this duffel is going to last me a LONG time.
The Ins and Outs of the Base Camp Duffel (BCD)
Let's get into the details. The BCD comes in 4 different sizes and the in the large size which I have it weights in at 4lbs. The weight primarily is due to the PVC tarpaulin material that is very thick and water/wind/stain/everything you don't want inside proof. It's as bomber as it looks. The bottom of the bag has a tough cordura outer layer.
The zipper is big and tough. It's two way and will allow for a lock. I'm not too psyched on the "D" opening, not because it's big and wide but because it doesn't allow for smooth zipping on the corners. I can't imagine that I'm the first person to find this annoying but hey, when you're The North Face I guess you just make stuff and people buy it, end of story. It's really not that big of a deal, but enough that I'm spending too much time talking about it.
For carrying the bag there is a padded shoulder strap or if you're headed to the climbing crag just toss it on your back using the alpine-cut shoulder straps – converting this duffel into a "pack". Other features include a daisy chain, an internal mesh pocket on the flap that I found convenient for small stuff, twin haul handles on each end and four compression straps. Basically, it's not your basic duffel. Grandpa would be impressed.
The Features
- Plenty of size – Large=5600cu in and 28″ x 16″ x 16″
- Alpine-cut shoulder straps (read: real backpack straps)
- Bomber construction with cordura bottom and PVC tarpaulin material
- North Face guarantee that it will last or they'll replace it

Diamondbacks 3, Nationals 1
Recap: Bronson Arroyo threw the Diamondbacks' first complete game of the season in outdueling Stephen Strasburg, and Paul Goldschmidt had a two-run double as the Diamondbacks beat the Washington Nationals on Tuesday at Chase Field.
Arroyo threw 110 pitches, allowing just one run and seven hits while baffling the Nationals with an assortment of off-speed pitches. He struck out seven and walked one. It was the 16th complete game of his career. He also recorded his 1,500th career strikeout when he fanned Denard Span in the first inning.
More: Box score | Schedule | Standings |
The Diamondbacks got to Strasburg in the fourth inning on a RBI single by Miguel Montero that scored Goldschmidt, who had doubled. They padded the lead in the fifth inning when Goldschmidt crushed a hanging breaking ball to left, scoring Arroyo and Miguel Prado.
It was the Diamondbacks' fourth win at home this season.
Photos: Diamondbacks vs. Nationals
He's No. 1: Wondering who the Diamondbacks' ace is with Patrick Corbin on the shelf? Wonder no more. It's Arroyo, who now has thrown at least seven innings with one earned run or less in three consecutive starts for the first time since Sept. 24, 2009 to April 8, 2010.
Arroyo completely befuddled the Nationals with breaking pitches that came from several different arm angles and registered 68, 69, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78 mph. His first pitch of the game was a 68 mph curveball, and he topped out at 88 on the radar gun.
"Early on he didn't have his best stuff, but then he got all his pitches working," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He threw a great game for us. That was outstanding."
Arroyo said it was important to go the distance because Arizona's bullpen was short-handed; Gibson didn't want to use closer Addison Reed or setup man Brad Ziegler, who had thrown three straight days.
"I talked to (pitching coach Mike) Harkey before the game. He said the bullpen was kind of spent, and he thought the setup man and closer were going to be shut down, so I was hoping to get deep in the ballgame," Arroyo said.
He's 3-0 with an 0.39 ERA in his past three starts.
Solving Strasburg: Arroyo had two singles off Washington ace Stephen Strasburg. How unusual is that? Arroyo became just the second pitcher to have a multihit game against Strasburg. The only other hurler was Tim Hudson, who had two hits off Strasburg on April 13, 2013. Arroyo's lead-off single in the fifth inning sparked a two-run rally.
"I don't have much of an approach," Arroyo said with a smile. "Just choke up and try to outthink him, I guess. If you can guess what he's throwing at least you have a chance."
View from the press box: Miguel Montero wasn't lying in spring training when he said as he goes so does the team. After going 1 for 4 Montero is now hitting .285, and his RBI single in the fourth briefly tied Paul Goldschmidt for the team lead with 24. The Diamondbacks are 10-8 when Montero drives in a run, and 6-18 when he doesn't.

Pitching matchup
RHP Brandon McCarthy (1-6, 5.66) vs. RHP Doug Fister (0-1, 10.38)
Notable: In his last start, McCarthy pitched a perfect three innings against the White Sox before pulling an about-face and giving up nine runs to 10 batters in the fourth. That performance raised his ERA by 0.99 runs. He's faced the Nationals only once, holding them to two hits in seven innings last season. Only Washington center fielder Denard Span has significant plate appearances against McCarthy, and he's hitting .333 with a .917 OPS. … Fister is making just his second career start for the Nationals. Washington traded for him from the Tigers in the offseason, and elbow inflammation and a strained shoulder muscle sidelined him until May 9. He lasted just 4 1/3 innings in his debut against the Oakland Athletics, five earned runs on seven hits, three of which were home runs. Fister relies on his sinker, which he throws at a shade under 90 mph, but also mixes in a 90 mph four-seam fastball, a 74 mph curve, an 86 mph cutter and an 81 mph split-finger fastball.

What has worked for me (so far) was a Restore via iTunes as well as turning off Bluetooth for now. I may have upgraded to 7.02 via OTA instead of while being connected to iTunes since the restore process downloaded 7.02 again. I will be using Bluetooth later today so I will see if that is the culprit in my battery drain issue.

At the risk of shocking all, I can report that after upgrading to iOS7 the baterry on my iphone 5 performs better. This is my 4th i5. Three were returned for faulty batery. The last one I got from the Apple shop where I went to cause war. I was promptly given a new phone after they tested the battery and agreed it was faulty. Under iOS6xx it worked fine except when travelling (all the shoite was off like so dont tell me about roaming off tricks) I would get through a busy day and be left with 30-40%. At 8 am this morning I unplugged the phone expecting to see it deflate in front of my eyes. Well... 10 hours later I am down to 65%. So great stuff.
I like iOS 7 except the white background in apps like calendar. Anyone knows how to change the colour.
I think they ruined calendar but other features are good. Overall I am impressed
Doug Lerner2 Oct 1, 2013 4:10 PM
in response to Dom1958
It depends on how much you use it. My complaints have been that when actually using it the battery on the iPhone 5 seems to drain at at least 25% quicker than in iOS 6.
Right now my battery is at 50%. Standby is is 15 hours 3 minutes, which is fine. It doesn't drain away on standby so much, as long as there are decent signals available.
But useage time is just 3 hours 22 minutes. That multiplies out to full usage of just 6 hours 44 minutes. I was regularly getting 8+ hours under the same circumstances in iOS 6.
So at least for me it is clear that battery draining during usage has dropped 25-30% since switching to iOS 7.
I'm mostly on wi-fi. If I have to go on cellular when going out it gets even worse. Usage time drops to about 5 hours.
I've also written about the horrible changes in the iOS 7 Calendar and a nice replacement I found: http://lerner.net/short-review-of-ios-7-the-good-some-nice-new-features-the-bad- the-new-calendar-app-and-some-hints-to-get-going/

@altterwisser, I can understand your frustration. I too am on my 3rd replacement 5 and it's having the same battery issues. When you first recieved your replacement phones did they hold the charge for a little while? I found that with mine the battery would behave as it should for about 2 weeks or so, then it would begin to drain. When I speak to the apple care people they basically say that I need to turn just about every function of the phone off, which only slightly improves the battery life. What's the point of having this phone if I can't use it? After reading all of the treads and comments it does not sound like there is a solution to this problem. I hate to do it, but I am going to look at other devices this weekend.
Dom1958 Oct 3, 2013 11:08 AM
in response to RGM12
Yes, each time I had a replacement it would behave for a couple of weeks and then I would have the issue of the battery lasting less than a day. I also got fobbed off by Apple on the phone. This is why I walked in one of their shops without an appointment to see a "Genius" and announced loudly that I was really fed up. This gave me an immediate appointment, immediate test and 10 minutes after testing the attendant came back with a new phone and said quietly that indeed there was a battery fault. I recon that they have had a major manufacturing issue with the battery and are trying to keep it quiet.
in addition there must have been an issue with iOS6 as now that I moved to 7 I do two days with one charge leaving every app open and everything running all the time.
Like you I am very allergic to the concept of switching things off to make the battery last.Apparently if you switch the phone off the battery lasts for ages....dhuuu.
I am also getting fed up with the cable rip off. ine lasted a month andd I am careful. You can only go back so many times to get a new one on warranty.You then have to buy one and they must be gold-plated at the price Apple is proposing.They changed the cable so I had to trash all my bits. The chinese copies did not work for a while until the "secret chip" was discovered" now they work but are completely unreliable.Apple has slowly educated their users to expect to buy lots of cable and think it is normal. In my book this is a real bad move. Rant ..
My advice to all is to go to your nearest Apple shop with a sign around your neck saying "unhappy customer about to get a Galaxy". This motivates them

Iphone5S::I have two iphones, one is a iphone5 and the iphone5s. I set the same settings that are on my iphone5 onto the iphone5s and they both have iso 7.0.2 and the iphone5s drains 75% faster on my new iphone5S! I have adjusted the apps and seetings on my iphone5s so hardly anything is running and still it drains fast. On my iphone5 I can leave blutooth on, wifi on, and apps runing and all the other things i read to turn off to get more life out f your batery and my iphone 5 will last alot longer then my iphone 5s with all those settings off. Now here is the kicker about the iphone5S, i have both iphone's setup with an alarm to go off at 7:25am, my iphone5 will go off and when i check my iphone5s, it's dead, no battery life left.
They were both charged up before i went to bed at 100% and my iphone5s was dead 0% battery life and my iphone5 was at 98%. So, to me it isn't a software issue, it is hardware, either the battery is no god or something hardware is draining the battery. So why is my iphone5s totally dead overnight without even using it???????????
I use my iphone5 more than my iphone5s and that is a shame to use an older iphone because you can rely on it.

Well, I took your advice. Not in a store, but on the phone with an Apple tech. Basically explained my situation and that I was getting ready to go device shopping. They immediately got me in touch with a sr. tech support person who was great actually and we went to work. Bottom line, I think we fixed the issue. Had to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone. I have done this before, but not in this way. I basically turned the phone on and used it as if I just pulled it out of the box. I went through the prompts to set it up, but did not hook it up to itunes or anything. I used it for a day and the battery acted the way it should, meaning that the phone did not have a battery issue. Then I added back my apps and email accounts slowly and kept tabs on the battery life. One day is was work email account, next day personal email account. The next day it was some apps. Bluetooth, wifi, email settings, etc. were/are all on as they were before I was having issues. I still have a few more apps to add back, but as of now I have just about everything back on my phone. I deleted all my old back ups. So far the battery is working the way it should, easily lasting the whole day and into the next, like it used to. Of course now that I said it will probably crap out on me. One thing I noticed that was different is that when I went to set up my work email it gave me an option to set it up as an Outlook account, or an exchange account. I set it up as an exchange and the process was a little different. Not sure if that makes a difference or not, but resetting all the email functions may have helped. I did noticed that my email set itself up about 1000 times faster then the last time I did it.
Anyway, not sure if this is helpful or not, and maybe most have already tried what I did. Hopefully it fixed the problem. Time will tell.
If you have not already, try restoring your phone and setting up as new. Do not plug into itunes. See if the battery still acts up. If it does your phone is bad. If it doesn't then its something else like your email or apps.
Dom1958 Oct 9, 2013 1:09 AM

You have just describe the exact scenario I went through. For me after a week it went back to battery problem and this is when I walked into the store with thick red smoke coming out of my nose.
Good luck and if it fails again you know what to do.
Regarding the email set up, it will always be quicker with MS Exchange ( that is if you have the facility).
Anyway it does not matter because the problem is the battery.

Battery life is especially awful when on cellular. I was out most of the day yesterday and just got barely 4 hours usage (with strong LTE signals everywhere) before my battery was down to 8%.
This seems just wrong to me, because the specs advertise the SAME battery life for wi-fi or LTE. But that is CLEARLY not true. It just isn't.
Hanani Oct 13, 2013 8:19 AM
in response to Doug Lerner2
i am having same problem lately with my Iphone 5 and IOS7. I see my phone gets very hot when using the camera or the gps apps. but even when I turn the camera off as well as GPS, the drainage is growing and when it gets to 24% it shuts down !!!! dead, I connected to the usb cable and it started but showed 0%.... very frustrating indeed !!!! would I be experiencing same issues with the new 5S I ordered already ??
is there something wrong with the camera ??
Doug Lerner2 Oct 13, 2013 5:41 PM
in response to Hanani
Your shut down problems at 24% do not sound normal. I haven't tested how low I can go, but there is a low power warning at 20% you can dismiss, and another one at 10% you can dismiss. I have gotten down to 7% before I was able to plug it in for recharging and didn't have it shut off then. So you might very well contact Apple about that if it is still under warranty. It doesn't seem normal.
My current main complaint (besides the fact that the battery just drains faster under iOS 7) is that in controlled tests, where I run it on wi-fi vs LTE it drains MUCH faster under LTE, when Apple's own specs say the time should be the same. I'm going to call Apple to complain about that. That is what they advertise but it's clearly not true.

I removed Skype and turned off the app refresher. Deleted the content. Restored from a backup and my battery returned to normal. About 8 hours even with heavy use. I started to notice that my battery would drain more when Skype was on in the background. they added ads to the newest update. I don't know if it was the main culprit. But it has helped to remove it.

CSIS Security Group A/S has uncovered a new trojan-banker family which we have named Tinba (Tiny Banker) alias "Zusy".
Tinba is a small data stealing trojan-banker. It hooks into browsers and steals login data and sniffs on network traffic. As several sophisticated banker-trojan it also uses Man in The Browser (MiTB) tricks and webinjects in order to change the look and feel of certain webpages with the purpose of circumventing Two factor Authentification (2FA) or tricking the infected user to give away additional sensitive data such as credit card data or TANs.
Tinba is the smallest trojan-banker we have ever encountered and it belongs to a complete new family of malware which we expect to be battling in upcoming months.
The code is approx 20KB in size (including config and webinjects) and comes simple and clear without any packing or advanced encryption. Antivirus detection of the analyzed samples is low.
Tinba is upon execution utilizing an injection routine, which is obfuscated to primarily avoid antivirus detection. It allocates new memory space where this specific injection function is stored and injects itself into the newly created process "winver.exe" (Version Reporter Applet) dropped into the windows system folder. Tinba also injects itself into both "explorer.exe" and "svchost.exe" processes.
Tinba uses primarily four different libraries during runtime: ntdll.dll, advapi32.dll, ws2_32.dll and user32.dll. The main components are copied into the [%userprofile%]Application DataDefault as "bin.exe" and the encrypted configuration file "cfg.dat" accompanied by the webinject file named "web.dat".
As observed in several other Trojan-bankers and advanced malwares, Tinba utilizes a RC4 encryption algorithm when communication with its Command & Control (C&C) servers. Tinba uses four hardcoded domains for its C&C communication. This is done to avoid one domain from being nonresponsive and thus losing communication with its drones. If the first domain does not respond properly, Tinba simply moves on to the next domain down the chain. Updates are retrieved from the C&C server using an encrypted string to EHLO the C&C. If C&C server survives certain checks, then the before mentioned files are downloaded and executed on the infected host. C&C communication is illustrated below.
Tinba uses typical MiTB tricks and injects itself into legitimate processes such as iexplore.exe and firefox.exe. When successfully injected, Tinba reads settings from the configuration files (cfg.dat and web.dat) and intercepts and manipulate traffic through several browser APIs.
The web inject templates are identical to the ones used by ZeuS but also have capability to use special values e.g. %BOTUID% equals to volume serial number.
An interesting observation is the fact that Tinba will modify headers X-FRAME-Options thus being able to inject insecure non HTTPS supported elements from external servers/websites. Tinba, like its equals, targets financial websites, but only a very small list of specific URLs.
We have blocked access to all known Tinba C&C servers in CSIS Secure DNS and thus also protecting Heimdal Pro and Corporate users against data leakage.
Yes, Tinba proves that malware with data stealing capabilities does not have to be 20MB of size ;-)


text: The young team behind the "No Parking" film is to be applauded for following their dreams, some of which were realized by the generosity of the Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital and Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital Foundation. Mindy Danovaro, director of the Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital Foundation, was immediately supportive when our office suggested the production ask the hospital if they might shoot several scenes there. There were several hurdles to overcome before the hospital could welcome them in. Mindy's professionalism plus her prior experience as a Hollywood agent helped steer the production team the right way. She acted as den mother and finished as an invaluable member of the production. She identified appropriate resources, scheduling filming late at night, minimizing disruption. Once their 13-hour day ended, Mindy, who was always "on set," on her time, had helped with rewriting scenes, casting, script supervising and set design and moving equipment used as props to ensure safety. This micro-budgeted film garnered scenes of high production value which would not have been possible without Mindy's commitment. In return, the filmmakers are donating to the foundation. Mindy, the foundation and the hospital have my sincere thanks for their support nurturing our talented youth. Beverly Lewis, director, Placer-Lake Tahoe Film Office, Auburn

GOP or Democrat Presidents: Which Are Better for the Market?
Do stocks do better under Republican or Democratic presidents? Look at the returns, and the answer is clear - by a huge margin. But it's more complicated than you might think.
Do stocks do better under Republican or Democratic presidents? Look at the returns, and the answer is clear - by a huge margin. But it's more complicated than you might think.
Frank Carlucci was the No. 2 man at the CIA and Reagan's Secretary of Defense, but he didn't use his intelligence to defend himself from getting conned out of $32 million.
There's a long way to go until President Obama hands over the reins of power in 2017, but so far his presidency has been very good for investors.
"Supply-side" economics was much debated in the 1980s, and now the debate has been renewed after a pair of its leading proponents have returned to the headlines.
It's impossible to predict how the Dow Jones industrial Average will move next. But we can look at the previous times the Dow hit record highs to see what followed.
In honor of Presidents Day, we've compiled a list of some fun and surprising financial facts about the men who control -- and sometimes end up -- on U.S. currency. Take a peek!
On Monday, President Obama will be inaugurated again, and an estimated 800,000 people will descend on Washington, D.C., for the occasion. To get yourself ready for the festivities, take this little quiz that features some high and low points from America's 57 inaugurations.
It's the question every incumbent up for reelection has had to answer since challenger Ronald Reagan first posed it to President Jimmy Carter in 1980. But in this 2012 campaign, the answer is not so simple, for all the rhetoric on both sides.
Mitt Romney has been taking some flak for saying the he's not going to try to win votes among the 47% of the populace that pays no federal income tax -- nor try to convince them to "take personal responsibility and care for their lives." But he should look more closely at who's in that group.
This fall, as Americans prepare to mark their ballots, Republicans are hoping that voters' minds will be focused on one (and only one) simple question: Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Unfortunately for the GOP, the answer isn't quite as clear as they'd like.
We've braved the complexities of the United States' current Tariff Schedule to dig up some of America's highest, least expected, and most controversial duties.
A gauge of consumers' financial insecurity that correlates with the outcome of presidential reelection races declined in March for the third straight month, signaling better odds for Barack Obama in November.
In tonight's State of the Union, President Obama faces a tough crowd: Millions of Americans unsure about whether he should keep his job. He'll be aiming to win hearts and minds, and at least part of that will be an appeal to our wallets. With that in mind, here are three key points that he is likely to hammer home tonight:
On Thursday, GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann may have inadvertently made one of the boldest moves of the 2012 primary campaign. Speaking on Fox News, the Minnesota congresswoman stated that she wants to adopt Ronald Reagan's tax plan, a rate structure that's much higher than current tax rates.
President Obama has officially launched his reelection campaign and when it's time to vote again many may ask themselves whether they are better off than they were four years ago. A close look at the statistics reveals the clear winners and losers so far.
Can you say image problem? For the first time in the more than 70 years that Gallup has been measuring the popularity of unions, in 2009 more than half the public didn't approve of them. The current showdown in Wisconsin has plenty of precedent when it comes to transformative moments for organized labor.
Ronald Reagan tops a USA Today/Gallup poll of Americans' favorite U.S. presidents. The results suggest that a nostalgia for better economic times may play a factor, along with politics, in the survey.
If we measure competitiveness by profits and cash balances, domestic companies have never been stronger. Unfortunately, that competitiveness has come out of the hides of the country's workers -- nearly 15 million of whom are out of work.
In the wake of Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that California's Proposition 8 gay marriage ban violated the U.S. Constitution, some are charging the judge was biased because he's gay. But Walker has another set of biases that his detractors would probably prefer not to discuss.

February is American Heart Month. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounted for 32.3% of deaths in the United States in 2010 — one out of every 3 deaths is due to this preventable disease.1
As the prevalence of CVD escalates, medical costs are rising rapidly — the American Heart Association has projected that over the next twenty years there will be a 16.6% increase in prevalence of coronary heart disease, and that the direct medical costs attributed to cardiovascular diseases will triple.2 Heart disease is truly devastating to both our health and our economy.
Risk factors for heart disease are commonplace for U.S. adults: 33% have hypertension, 13.8% have total cholesterol above 240 mg/dl,1 11.3% of U.S. adults have diabetes,3 and 68.8% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.4
It is normal in our society to have atherosclerosis, and to die from cardiovascular disease. If you eat the standard western diet that most people eat in the modern world, you will surely develop heart disease and may die from it. But a significant number of research studies have documented that heart disease is easily and almost completely preventable (and reversible) through a diet rich in plant produce and lower in processed foods and animal products.5-8
The surgical interventions commonly used to treat heart disease, such as angioplasty and bypass surgery are futile. The COURAGE trial and additional studies conducted since have documented that patients undergoing those invasive procedures do not live longer or have fewer heart attacks compared to those receiving medical therapy with modest lifestyle changes.9,10 Surgical interventions are not long-term solutions to heart disease; they merely treat a small portion of a blood vessel, while cardiovascular disease continues to progress throughout the vasculature.
Drugs that treat hypertension and elevated cholesterol carry serious risks and do not stop heart disease from progressing. Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are known to increase the risk of diabetes, impaired muscle function, cataracts, liver dysfunction and kidney injury.11 Each different class of blood pressure-lowering medications is associated with its own risks and side effects. ACE inhibitors commonly cause a persistent cough; diuretics are linked to increased risk of diabetes; beta blockers are associated with increased likelihood of stroke; calcium channel blockers may increase risk of heart attack and breast cancer; and ARBs are associated with increased risk of lung cancer.12-18
The risk associated with these treatments is unacceptable when there is a safe, effective alternative — excellent nutrition and exercise — that can actually reverse heart disease and obliterate the needs for risky and even futile medical care.
Atherosclerotic plaque can be reversed, and cholesterol lowered without drugs or surgery — just ask Ronnie or Julia:
Ronnie had reached over 300 lbs. when he wound up needing emergency quadruple bypass surgery. Three years later, he was back for an angioplasty and three stents, but his chest pain returned within one month of the surgery. Working with Dr. Fuhrman online in the Member Center, Ronnie has lost 140 lbs., and got off all of his medications. He runs and plays sports and has served as an inspiration to family members who have also lost weight and begun to live healthier lives. Read more | Video
Julia had three heart attacks within the space of three months. After her fifth angioplasty, she still had constant chest pain. At the age of 60, she was on ten different daily medications, suffered migraines, and could not walk even one block. Today, Julia has lost 105 lbs, and she can now enjoy every day pleasures like exercise, gardening, and playing with her grandchildren. She went from a "cardiac cripple" to a healthy, happy human being. Read more
Like Ronnie and Julia, my hundreds of patient case studies over the last 20 years with advanced heart disease patients have demonstrated that dramatic reversal of advanced disease can even occur in a relatively short time. Read more heart disease success stories.
Following the lenient recommendations of the American Heart Association and wearing a red dress pin do not form an effective strategy for protecting you or your loved ones against heart disease. Also, drugs and surgery do not cure heart disease. Over the years, I have designed and advanced a health-promoting, nutrient-dense (Nutritarian) diet, the most protective and lifespan-promoting diet-style. When coupled with exercise a Nutritarian diet is dramatically effective and protective for preventing and reversing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes as well as heart disease because it removes the primary dietary causes of heart disease.
Everyone deserves to know that heart disease can be avoided; and those who already have heart disease deserve to know that they can reverse their disease. Conventional medical care does NOT protect against heart disease-related death. Only a Nutritarian diet can offer dramatic lifespan-enhancing benefits against both cardiovascular disease and cancer.

I found footballs, but they only had one card with two buttons. I think the duckies work well, though.
He is going to be very well dressed!
Beautiful work, Peggy. Where did you get the pattern for the hood & hats?
The hood is in the Schoolhouse Press pamphlet with the BSJ instructions. The tie is just applied I-cord. The hat is this: CO about 78 sts, join in the end, K until you have 5.5-6.5 inches, depending on size, do a round of K1, K2tog, then K2tog until you have about five sts left. Work I-cord for a few inches and tie in a knot, or just run the yarn through the sts on the needle and tie off. The brim rolls up, and you and roll it up or down to make it larger or smaller. Great mindless knitting. I did one in the dark once, proving I can still knit if I lose my sight. You can make them larger or smaller by using thicker or thinner yarn, adding or subtracting sts from the CO, etc.
I have the pamphlet (& the DVD) but I haven't made one with a hood yet so I was wondering if that was the same one or something you made up on your own. I don't remember seeing patterns for those hats though, where did you get the pattern?
I improvised it from a pattern from a NSLYS. (We have no LYSs in Park City.)
Deborah, click here for some versions which include a hood.
Thanks for the link. I will definitely check out some of those variations on our theme :)
Have anything to show yet?

This four-song EP provides a hint about what Julian Lennon has been up to in the 11 years since the release of his last album, "Photograph Smile." The title track, written and performed with label mate James Scott Cook, pays homage to Lennon's lost childhood friend, Lucy Vodden.
It's an up-tempo bit of modern rock, with a pop-flavored chorus that could have been inspired by the Beatles, the band co-founded by Lennon's late father, John.
A second, acoustic version of the song allows for more playful harmony between the two singers. "Beautiful," a track from Lennon's upcoming full-length CD, "Everything Changes," is a piano-fueled ballad that remembers the singer's father and others who have passed on. In the touching chorus, Lennon sings, "The love you left behind will carry on / You gave your heart and soul to everyone."
The fourth song, "Sober," is a synthesizer-spiced pop-rock tune from Cook's upcoming CD, which is untitled at the moment.
Cook's warm vocals show range and promise.

Hello everyone.
I have just known the news about a mobile phone company in Holland
that has registered the color magenta under their copyright law at the
European Brand Law. Its such a surprising and curious piece of
information I thought it would be fun to share with everyone. There
has already been created a web site to "free magenta" from the
copyright law! You can read more about it here:
