Striped Bass are notoriously fragile once out of the water. Even fish that have been handled extremely well
may die once they are released even if they were only out of the water a short period of time.
A team formed by the Coastal Conservation Association said recreational anglers may be killing over a million striped bass a year
Led by Maine fly fisherman
Brad Burns, the association is researching ways to reduce the death rate of
striped bass released by anglers. Burnss work follows a Maryland study indicating that catch-and-release
fishermen may be killing as much as 16.4 percent of the stripers they hook. The highest
death rates occur when the water is warmest.
The study was prompted because a substantial recreational
catch-and-release fishery for striped bass has grown along the Atlantic Coast because of
high population size, high minimum lengths, and low creel limits, wrote researchers
Rudy Lukacovic and Ben Florence. Releases rose from 38 percent of the catch in the
early 1980s to 93 percent by the early 1990s.
The highest percentage of fish caught in the Maryland study 18 to 20
inches long.
Anglers in the study were instructed to use single-hook artificial lures, but some
treble-hook lures were used. Medium-action spinning and casting rods with 10 to 15-pound
line were standard.
Maryland scientists conducted the study in the upper reaches of Chesapeake Bay, where
water salinity is very low. When the fish were caught, they were transferred to oxygenated
tanks and scientists transported them to pens on the Susquehanna Flats. The pens were
checked for dead fish every three days.
As water temperature rose through the period of the study, the scientists
said, the mortality rate of all fish caught rose from 15 percent in mid-April to
4.2 percent in early May to 16.4 percent for late May. The overall death rate for the
study was 5.06 percent.
Bill Krueger, a scientist from the University of Rhode Island--and
a fly fisherman--criticizes the Maryland studys structure.
The Maryland researchers,
he says, should have included control fish, stripers that were caught in a
trap, netted, and transferred to the pens as the hooked fish were. That would have
provided more accurate data on how many fish die because of the hookup, fight, and
Looking at another estimate from the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, Brad
Burns said, Weve got a situation where the (catch-and-release death rate) of
striped bass is equal to 40 percent of the entire recreational catch . . . the fish that
recreational anglers keep.
If sport fishermen unintentionally kill the federal estimate of 8 percent of the stripers
they catch and release, Burns says, 1,300,300 fish are assumed to have died
Some people are talking educational programs (to teach anglers how to release fish
safely) but Ive been hearing about educational programs since I was a kid,
says Burns. I think theres some stomach now for outright regulations on
the kind of gear anglers could use, such as flies and jigs, and circle hooks for bait
fishing--terminal tackle that usually hook bass in the mouth only.
Researchers at the Texas Tech Department of Range, Wildlife, and Fisheries
Management recently published in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management their
findings on hooking mortality of some 1,200 striped bass -- a huge and quite meaningful
sample size -- from fish caught and released from across the southern U.S. They pulled
information from previous hooking mortality studies done in North and South Carolina,
Maryland, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Texas. The findings could have implications to striper
fisheries across the country.
Dr. Gene Wilde led research looking into how bait type and water temperature affected the
survivability of striped bass caught and released. The study essentially asked: Are fish
caught on natural baits more apt to die from injury than one caught trolling a crank bait?
And temperature, the warmer the water the worse for wear? Here's what Dr. Wilde and his
team of researchers found.
Regardless of bait type, 29 percent of striped bass caught and released died within three
days. But compared between bait types, it was higher for fish caught on natural baits, at
42 percent. For artificial baits mortality was a much lower 25 percent.
But bait type alone didn't explain the variation. Water temperature figures prominently in
whether fish will survive. Simply put, the warmer the water, the more likely a released
striper is to perish, regardless of size. Climbing into the 80s, nearly 70 percent of
stripers caught on natural baits and 57 percent caught on artificial, perished.
According to Dr. Wilde, the exact implications of his findings to striper populations will
vary from water to water, but to him, one thing is clear.
"Our results do call into question catch-and-release fishing, especially in
summer," said Wilde. "Catch and release is viewed as having little effect on
populations, but when more than 30 percent of fish die, even in cooler water, I have a
hard time justifying releasing fish. Instead, requiring anglers to keep all fish captured,
up to their bag limit may be better."
Another alternative to striper management is seasonal closure. While it would afford some
protection to stripers, Wilde admits its not likely to happen with many striper fisheries.
Instead, Wilde thinks a seasonal relaxing of length limits might be better. Anglers might
just go ahead and keep what would otherwise be an undersized fish, given minimally a third
of released fish would perish anyway.
This year as you partake of top-notch striper fishing, think about what's at the end of
your line. If you belong to the secular church of catch and release, are you practicing
what you preach? Is your quarry going to survive to be caught another day?
This evidence is convincing. When and how you fish for stripers could have a lasting
impact to your sport.
According to Wilde's research, you do have a choice.

My 16 mth old will not sleep for more than a 3 hour stretch at night. He wakes up several times a night and ONLY DH can comfort him. He will not allow me to hold him, instead he cries so loud and hard andĀfights to getĀout of my arms. He points to the door and tries to get me to get up and open the door. When DH comes in, he runs to him as if I've done something to harm him. :(Ā DH will then take him downstairs for a 2-3 oz. milk/3 oz. water sippy cup (which I think is too much milk at night). This happens up to 3x night!
DS has never been a STTN baby...we got to the point where he might have been up once a night. As you can imagine, it's taking it's toll on DH but there isn't anything I can do to comfort DS so it falls to DH.
Let me also note that I'm not big into CIO, tried itĀonce and DS flipped out of the crib. Just bought Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Solution for Toddlers...anyone have any success with it? Or have any other suggestions on what may have worked for you. All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Vinedos Y Bodegas Pablo Menguante Garnacha 2008
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Menguante Garnacha is produced from grapes that have been grown on 80 to 100 year old vines. The subdued dark fruit and mineral aromas carry into the lush, plum flavors with ripe chewy tannins. The persistent finish features balanced acidity and sweet fruit tannins. Serve at room temperature.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The purple-colored 2008 Menguante Garnacha was sourced from vines averaging 80 years of age and aged for 5 months in French oak. It sports an inviting nose of cedar, tobacco, cinnamon, clove, and cherry. On the palate it displays outstanding concentration, layers of savory fruit, and plenty of volume. It has the structure to evolve for 1-2 years but is approachable now. It is a great value. "
Vinedos Y Bodegas Pablo Winery
Vinedos y Bodegas Pablo is a family owned bodega located in Almonacid de la Sierra in the Cari?ena region. The Pablo family has a long wine making tradition in the region and uses indigenous grapes from their own vineyards, which are located at the foothills of Sierra del Moncayo. Additionally, they have been dedicated to the methods of biodynamic farming and viticulture for many years. No herbicides or chemicals of any kind are used in the vineyards.
The origin of the bodega goes back to the XVIII century. Antonio Hernandez founded the bodega in 1760 when he hand-carved an underground cellar, which still exists today. The present generation, Jos? Pablo Casao and his sisters, constructed their present state-of-the-art bodega over the former one. The Pablo family implements cutting edge technologies in this modern facility. Their objective is to transmit the essence of the land and the unique flavor of the indigenous grapes to their wines.
One of the best assets of the Pablo family is their vineyards. With a range of vines that average from 30 years old to up to 100 years old, the Pablo family has always been conscious of the local clones and has maintained the indigenous varietals, consisting mostly of Garnacha and the unique Vidadillo grape. There are also some international varietals planted in different younger vineyards which complement the native varietals. View all Vinedos Y Bodegas Pablo Wines
About Ribera del Duero(rib-EHR-ah del dwehr-oh)
Notable FactsThe wines of Ribera del Duero are mainly red – white wines here are not exported or revered. The reds come primarily from a variation of Tempranillo, called Tinto Fino or Tinto del Pais in this region. Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon are also used, but not so often. The best wines of the area are refreshing yet sturdy and complex, with an ability to age and mature gracefully.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Reaching net zero energy
June 22, 2011
By Maj. Gen. David Quantock, Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and Fort Leonard Wood commanding general
Related Links
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo., June 22, 2011 -- In my May M6 Sends, "Pitch in, save power," I talked about energy conservation as part of our everyday lives and working toward a sustainable future. The bottom line is that smart energy saving initiatives and practices will not only save us money, it could save programs, jobs, or force structure as budgets decline.
Fort Leonard Wood is growing and the cost for energy is increasing. So, if we fail to conserve energy, we will be spending our already dwindling budget on energy instead of other things. This is why my energy goal for Fort Leonard Wood is to achieve net zero status by 2030, which basically means that we will produce as much energy as we will consume.
Our Directorate of Public Works is focused on meeting our energy demands and reducing our energy costs. I want to highlight just a few of many energy-saving initiatives that DPW is working for us.
We teamed up with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct the Prime Power School, which is Fort Leonard Wood's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, Gold building. USACE also picked two basic training complexes and an advanced individual training complex at Fort Leonard Wood for its 2030 Integration Project, a competition that challenges builders to design and construct a typical building to be net zero.
We will be working closely with USACE on these new facilities and will identify and leverage sustainable, cost effective principles into maintenance of existing facilities as well.
We are currently incorporating sustainable features into existing facilities through an Energy Saving Performance Contract. The ESPC provides third-party financing to conduct energy projects with the guarantee that a project's cost will be paid for by the energy savings it produces.
Fort Leonard Wood's ESPC projects have included the installation of specialized lighting, low consumption appliances and enhanced heating and air conditioning. Through these projects alone, we have saved more than $36 million.
In my career I've noticed that performance tends to improve with simple monitoring and I think this will hold true for energy usage. DPW has started installing metering systems across post that will give us specific visibility on energy usage in our facilities.
Once we have that visibility, I plan to have some healthy competition across units to drive energy usage downward. Get ready!
Energy conservation is a main effort this year and I need everyone to commit to getting after it with me. Turn off lights when you leave a room at home and at work. Shut down computers at the end of the day. Try adjusting thermostats to 68 degrees in the winter and 76 in the summer.
These small, simple changes can yield huge energy savings and cost benefits. Let's all pitch in and do our part to save money spent on energy. We can use those funds for other important things like personnel, activities, and programs that support our current and future missions.
Thanks for all you do for our Army and our nation. Army Strong!

Pac-10: It's still UCLA's title to lose
Updated: December 24, 2008, 11:40 PM ETBy Andy Katz | ESPN.com
Favorite: UCLA. The Bruins haven't stood out nationally yet, losing to Michigan and then falling to Texas. So the Bruins still have room to grow, especially in the post. They still have the top point guard in the conference in Darren Collison, the best freshman in the league in Jrue Holiday and, when healthy, a Final Four veteran player in wing Josh Shipp. The Bruins may be devoid of a consistent scoring presence in the post but the defense is still Ben Howland-solid and the Bruins have the core ...

Hi everyone,
I'm new here. My baby girl and baby boy were born Jan 16 at 34 weeks. My baby girl may be coming home from the NICU tomorrow and I'm wondering what bottles I should try. I'm not crazy about the ones they have at the hospital...they are either too slow or too fast (they are SImilac). Anyone tried Dr. Brown's preemie nipples? Any other recommendations?

MicroPact Awarded Contract To Deploy Entellitrak As Correspondence Management System For Department Of Veterans Affairs
HERNDON, Va., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroPact, a leading provider of enterprise case management and business process management (BPM) software, is pleased to announce that entellitrak has been selected as an enterprise Correspondence Management System for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of the Secretary of the VA (OSVA).(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120130/LA43872LOGO) The contract was awarded through a partnership with Harris Corp. (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and IT company serving government and commercial organizations. The entellitrak Correspondence Management System will be used throughout the VA to manage all correspondence between the organization and veterans and their families, as well as other government officials and organizations, including congressional, state and local leaders. The system will support the VA Central Office (VACO), Veterans Heath Administration (VHA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA). "Our Data-First approach makes the entellitrak platform an ideal solution for Veterans Affairs," said Kris Collo, CEO, President and Founder of MicroPact. "By implementing the entellitrak Correspondence Management System, the VA will be able to hit the ground running and quickly realize a significant return on their investment. The agency provides vital services to our nation's veterans and their families. We are proud to partner with Harris Corp. in order to play a role in keeping the VA team members connected to the people they serve." The VA receives thousands of inquiries and requests each day. Without a dynamic case management solution, the VA faced a growing backlog of unanswered queries. The entellitrak solution will provide a broad range of capabilities for tracking incoming correspondence from initial receipt to the final response. This will allow the VA to improve response times and ensure accurate and efficient communication to veterans and their families.

Almonty's CEO Talks Tungsten And The Eurozone Crisis
Spain is home to Almonty Industries' (TSXV:AII) Los Santos project, one of the only producing tungsten mines in the western world. Spain is also now center stage in the Eurozone crisis. The world is waiting to see whether its government will request a bailout, which some insist is necessary to help the country lower its borrowing costs to sustainable rates. Inquiring minds may wonder what impact conditions in Europe are having on the business of producing and selling a rare metal like tungsten. Almonty's CEO, Lewis Black, provided Tungsten Investing News with some insight. While it operates in Europe, Almonty is not directly exposed to market conditions there. The company exports all of its tungsten to North America, a market that Black says has held up well. Still, the company does not exist in a bubble and therefore has not been able to completely insulate itself against the region's crisis."No one wants to carry [tungsten] inventory given the uncertainty in Europe," Black said, outlining the first effect the company has noted. "Consumers only buy what they need and they are working down the inventories that they have. Understand that this is not based on fundamentals, but purely on uncertainty." Some may find that surprising as many consumers have been pushing to secure access to supply outside of China. "I will probably get shot for saying this, but there is very little partnership between consumers and producers in the tungsten business," said Black. "Consumers' primary concern is to keep their costs low, and they operate with no real regard for what will happen to the producers. Consumers feel that they can always get a bit [of tungsten] here and bit there and for years they have been. Now, I really don't understand it because the quantity and quality of that supply is dwindling, but this is how they operate. So the producers have a tough time, no doubt about it."

Progress In Treating Cancer In The U.S. Continues To Surge, Surpassing 50 Million Life-years Saved
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. life expectancy for people with cancer hit another all-time high, rising over 50 million life-years after diagnosis. The estimate of approximately 50 million life-years saved is based on the number of additional years of life that each person diagnosed with cancer since 1990 has experienced as a result of advances in science and broader access to novel cancer therapies. This is based on statistics collected through the Value of Medical Innovation initiative, led by the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI), promoting a world free from cancer by 2050. CMPI cautions, however, that those gains could be at risk if the policy environment and healthcare system at large do not accelerate access to the innovations responsible for longer lives and declines in cancer-related death rates. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131204/NY27779LOGO )According to CMPI co-founder Robert Goldberg, Ph.D., "The benefits of medical innovation to patients and their families can be counted in birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other life events that would have been missed if it weren't for medical innovation." In 1990, there were about six million cancer survivors in the United States. Today, there are about 14 million. Back then, about 57 percent of cancer patients could expect to live five years or more. Today, that number is nearly 70 percent. And the value that innovative therapies bring by way of longer life, productivity, consumer consumption of goods, increasing healthcare system efficiencies and societal prosperity is more than $4.8 trillion. "We're at a turning point in battling cancer," said Scott Gottlieb, M.D., resident fellow for the American Enterprise Institute. "Doctors are finally able to reliably tailor treatments to the unique genetic composition of each patient's tumor rather than by its location in the body alone. Other new drugs are able to prime our own immune cells to attack cancers." Research suggests that even greater gains in life-years—along with a decline in the cost of treating cancer—are possible through personalized medicine, which reduces the cost and time of treatment compared with the old one-size-fits-all model. "We shouldn't endanger the gains we've made and risk future advances by limiting or delaying access to the next generation of medicines," states Goldberg. "We can achieve a world free from cancer, but only if we continue to speed the development and use of innovations that have allowed us to reach 50 million life-years saved over the past two decades."

TELEVISION;A Bold Old Hand Reshapes CBS News
By WARREN BERGER
Published: April 28, 1996
O.K., HERE WE GO," whispers Andrew Heyward as the moment of truth arrives promptly at 6:30, with Dan Rather beginning his delivery of "The CBS Evening News." Mr. Heyward is in the program's main control room at CBS's broadcast center on West 57th Street in Manhattan, just a few feet from the command post where the executive producer, Jeffrey Fager, is cuing Mr. Rather.
Mr. Heyward, who sat in Mr. Fager's chair until three months ago, when he was named president of CBS News, is the only person in this frantic cockpit with nothing much to do. These days, he usually watches the program back in his office with other executives. But at the moment he seems very much at home in this room of a hundred flashing screens. His eyes -- the eyes of a longtime television producer -- dart from screen to screen, checking the camera angles, checking the next story, checking to see what NBC is opening with on this night in mid-April.
It may be appropriate that a man accustomed to the chaos of the control room has been tapped to run CBS News. The job, it is generally agreed, will require a sharp eye, a steady hand and decisive moves, with little time for reflection. By the time of Mr. Heyward's appointment in January, the problems plaguing the house of Murrow and Cronkite had become so severe that they called for immediate action. Mr. Heyward has responded.
In recent weeks, changes have been announced in several key CBS News programs, including "60 Minutes" (which will introduce new commentators and a revised format tonight at 7), "48 Hours" and "CBS This Morning." At the same time, there has been noticeable fine-tuning of "Evening News." The new president has had varying degrees of input on all of these changes and others yet to come.
"We're attacking on many fronts," says Mr. Heyward, a graying, fast-talking man who tends to engage in five-second chitchat with employees as he strides briskly through the halls, a pager on his belt. He believes that his familiarity with the programs, producers and stars has helped him get off to a quick start. "It would have taken an outsider a year just to learn the culture here," he says. "And we don't have a year."
The urgency at CBS News was brought on by a series of missteps in the last several years, some of which Mr. Heyward's predecessor, Eric Ober, was blamed for by many outside observers. "He made some poor decisions," says Andrew Tyndall, whose weekly newsletter, The Tyndall Report, monitors network news.
Mr. Ober presided over an ill-fated on-air experiment that paired Mr. Rather with a co-anchor, Connie Chung. It was also under his watch that "60 Minutes" suffered a blow to its image when it was prevented by CBS management from running an interview with a former tobacco-company executive because a lawsuit had been threaten'd. (Mr. Ober did not return calls for this article.)
In a larger sense, however, CBS News has been affected by problems that were beyond the news division's control. Viewership for its programs suffered when the network lost eight important affiliate stations and their large local audiences (the stations defected to Fox two years ago). The division also saw its staff cut by almost 40 percent by Laurence A. Tisch, who owned CBS before it was acquired last fall by Westinghouse.
With spending restricted, CBS News couldn't attract high-profile talent, and it still hasn't taken steps into cable television, as have NBC and ABC. "The news division had its hands tied behind its back by Laurence Tisch," says Steve McClellan, the New York bureau chief of Broadcasting and Cable magazine.
All these problems were awaiting Mr. Heyward, 45, when he took over as president. On the bright side, Mr. Heyward started under a new owner that promised to invest in the network. Mr. Heyward quickly took Westinghouse up on that offer, securing additional financing and staffing for "60 Minutes" and "48 Hours."
NOW "60 MINUTES" WILL RUN new episodes year-round and will feature more late-breaking news stories and three new commentators in addition to Andy Rooney: Molly Ivins, P. J. O'Rourke and Stanley Crouch, iconoclastic print journalists from various points on the political spectrum. Meanwhile, "48 Hours," which Mr. Heyward helped introduce as its executive producer in 1988, is expanding coverage to include more than one story per episode.
As for "The CBS Evening News," Mr. Heyward is credited with generally improving the broadcast over the last year. For that program, he is pursuing what he calls a "big-story, big-correspondent strategy," in which he has emphasized more in-depth coverage -- on the Unabomber, for instance -- and given more air time to senior correqpondents like Bob Simon in the Middle East. He is also borrowing correspondents from "60 Minutes" for special reports from time to time. In addition, Mr. Rather says, "he has insisted on an increased emphasis on the writing of the show."
"It is now much stronger journalistically and the best of the three network news shows," says Mr. Tyndall. But in spite of this overhaul, "Evening News" still lags behind ABC and NBC in the ratings.
"Obviously we want the ratings to improve, and I'd like to see some improvement by year's end," says Mr. Heyward. "But 'Evening News' ratings move at a glacial pace."

Dead Ned and the Starks by eightbreezeWatch
©2012-2016 eightbreeze
The Starks of Winterfell ... and Jon Snow, who's a bastard ... but at least he's pretty
Isn't Robb described to look more like the Tully's with their blue eyes and red hair, rather than Ned who has brown hair?
very nice job!
haha, "but at least he's pretty" made my day
I especially like the looks of cat and arya in your picture, they seem so strong and determined. all in all it feels very dynamic and powerful
I especially like the looks of cat and arya in your picture, they seem so strong and determined. all in all it feels very dynamic and powerful
hey this looks good! I can totally see the actors in here, even though they so cartoonified - you've captured them well! Robb and Arya are my favorites in this, they look great! And look at Arya's expression, haha, she is up to something. Rickon looks cute! anyway, great job!
Sounds like a good name for a band! haha
Great style and your title and notes made me lol!
I don't follow either of the series, but I do know a bit about the plot and the characters, and Stark is probably my favorite House. You captured them all very well here, and I really like the style you used. I think Arya, Jon, and Rickon turned out the best.
yayy I'm glad you like I think Jon and his derpy look is probably my favourite ... you can almost hear him thinking "but at least I'm pretty" hehhh
I really like your style
You really captured them here, great work!

This review is from: BlackBerry Torch White 3G Unlocked GSM Smart Phone w/ Full QWERTY Keyboard / Wi-Fi / 5 MP Camera (9810)
Pros: BBM, when unlocked like mine is a good phone to travel with. I have traveled to Europe a couple of times.
Cons: in the first 6 months only your classic argument of Apple, android, or blackberry. (not really even a con)
Other Thoughts: I switched from a iphone 3G and at first i would have at best compared them equals. the iphone didn't slow down as much as this phone did. The phone even when working correctly has some quirky things to it. things aren't always where you would expect them to be.

Pros: This is a wonderful device. The touch screen is great and 'feels' responsive. I have almost convinced my wife to switch to blackberry because of all its greatness. FLAC files, YES!
Cons: The device settings should be easier to navigate or at least reorganize. There is a lip at the base of the keyboard that I still have not gotten used to. When I take it apart I may cut the freakin ATT logo down to size.
Other Thoughts: othe phones used se i600m, bb 8820, htc hd7, and now bb 9810.

U.S. Army Europe Campaign Plan
What is it?
The U.S. Army Europe Campaign Plan 2012-2014 is a capstone document that describes what USAREUR does as an organization and provides a vision for its future. It is nested with the Army's Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG) and U.S. European Command's Strategy for Active Security (SAS). The plan is more than a concisely written document it is a dynamic, automated and authoritative tool which allows access and input from top to bottom -- from leadership to end user. It is not a battle plan but is a roadmap for the members of the organization. It facilitates synchronization of collective efforts by correlating tasks to events, activities, and actions happening throughout the command. The product gives the commander a comprehensive, useful means to monitor and adjust the complex operations ongoing across the span and into the depth of USAREUR.
What has the Army done?
In the fall of 2011, the USAREUR staff was directed to produce a means to assist the commander in the science of command by developing a comprehensive plan that both articulates what the organization does as well as a means to link those tasks with lines of effort and, ultimately, strategic objectives. The plan was formally unveiled at the USAREUR Senior Leader Forum, a meeting of the organization's senior leaders (O6 and above) for the purposes of leader development and cross-talk.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The USAREUR Campaign Plan is designed as a living document able to be adjusted and adapted as necessary with a thorough review/re-write every two years. Assessment methodology is currently under development as a part of this plan and will be rolled out in the near future.
Why is this important to the Army?
The U.S. Army and our European partners are transforming at a rapid pace. In a time when the nation and the Army are adjusting to global economic challenges and shifts in security focus, Army forces in Europe continue to play a pivotal role in preventing future conflicts while prevailing in current ones but must do so as efficiently and effectively as possible. This campaign plan provides a vision for success - embracing change while focused upon and capable of meeting our nation's strategic and operational goals.

The Traverse City Film Festival has announced what founder Michael Moore says is "the best movie lineup in its five-year history." The 2009 edition of the festival - which runs July 28 through Aug 2 - is set to screen 71 features and short films representing more than 30 countries and five continents.
"Last year we had over 80,000 admissions and we expect even more this year," Moore said. "We're bringing the absolute best in new films from around the world and here at home."
The festival will open with Erik Poppe's "Troubled Water," and close with Nora Ephron's "Julie & Julia." The former is from Norway (which plays a prominent role in the overall programming) and details a young man's reorientation into life after spending eight years in prison. The latter stars Meryl Streep and Amy Adams and is about both the early days of Julia Child's career, and Julie Powell's attempt -- more than 40 years later - to cook and blog her way through all 524 recipes in Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
Numerous titles that have had heavy play in the festival circuit will also screen in Traverse City, including "Valentino: The Last Emperor," "Waltz with Bashir," "Which Way Home," "Outrage," "Learning Gravity," "The Answer Man," "The Girlfriend Experience," "The Greatest," "Humpday" and Sugar."
The festival also features three titles out of Austin, Texas (which Moore refers to as "the new hotbed of American Independent Cinema") in "Winnebago Man," "Registered Sex Offender" and "Harmony and Me," and will celebrates the 40th anniversary of Woodstock with a screening of never-before-seen footage from the concert and special guests who performed at Woodstock live on stage at the State Theatre.
"Greetings from Tehran" and "Palestine and Vine" are two sections of the film festival featuring works from the Middle East, including the new documentary, "Rachel," about the life and death of Rachel Corrie, an American who sacrificed her life to help the Palestinian people.
"We're bringing at least one, maybe two, Palestinian filmmakers," Moore said. "At this time in history, more than ever, we need to hear voices from that part of the world that are not filtered by the Western media."
Other highlights from the schedule include: Film Festival board member Larry Charles presenting a one-time-only screening of outtakes from "Bruno," starring Sacha Baron Cohen; Comedian Jeff Garlin will give a sneak preview of a surprise title; And Moore himself will host a special 20th anniversary screening of his first film, "Roger & Me." Special guests from the film will attend as well.
The full schedule is available on the festival's website.

Monk Wordsmith, Thig Natural, Just D'Amato.
While acknowledged in certain circles as one of the most talented all-around hip-hop groups in the city of Seattle, a rise to a more general popularity has been elusive for the Physics. The Seattle trio's new LP, Love Is a Business (out tomorrow) though, is a beautifully orchestrated feature that has captured the group at their most inviting, and has the potential to grab more new listeners than any of their previous work. But regardless of the mass appeal of their new offering, Thig Natural, Just D'Amato, and Monk Wordsmith have been cranking out nothing but quality since their inception.
In 2007, The Physics released their debut full-length Future Talk, a crisp jazz-and-R&B-influenced rap album with friendly, down-to-earth lyrics and surprisingly polished production. The second track, "Ready for We," was a startling, absurdly beautiful vignette that rightly planted the group in the heart of the city's hip-hop scene. If there was ever a down moment among the album's 17 tracks, the duo of Thig Natural and Just D'Amato (Monk Wordsmith was away at college during the making of this one) were cool enough to play it off like they were just messing around and never intended to take themselves too seriously to begin with, so we shouldn't sweat it.
Two years later, they released a stellar eight-track EP called High Society that was more focused and even more accomplished than its predecessor. The wealth of live instrumentation and accomplished songwriting rolled the best moments from Future Talk into a half-sized masterpiece that still stands as one of the best pound-for-pound rap records to ever come out of the city.
Tomorrow, the Physics will release their second full-length Love Is a Business to the public, celebrating with a two-part release party at the Crocodile. Their sound has been updated and smoothed out even further, but was still produced mainly in-house (with a few superb additions from Jake One, P Smoov, Bean One, and DJ Nphared), and graced with the same approachable rhymes by the stately pedestrian Natural and the neighborhood documentarian (his brother) Wordsmith.
The title track kicks off the album with a couple of sly guitar notes and a bass line that kicks in hard at the end of a few measures, and Natural kicks a few solid confessional verses that are some of the best on the album. Strong vocal performances from Malice and Mario Sweet, J. Pinder, and the gang push LIAB into more of an R&B realm than before, but as always, the Physics make it work. The second track, "These Moments," is melody-driven, abandoning drums entirely in favor of rhythmic bass notes, and "The Red Eye" flips Eddie Kendricks' sultry "Can I," turning it into an airy head-nodder with down-time rhymes from Natural and Wordsmith. The Jake One-produced "Seward Park" is another slow ride through the city, and "My Place" (from last year's three-song Three Piece EP is rap-free in the traditional sense. Also from Three Piece, the DJ Nphared-crafted "Coronas on Madrona" is a cool banger, and more beats-and-rhymes than some of the other tracks, but fits in well.
Even when the group pulls in outside help, the arrangements still very well belong to the Physics: They are the visionaries, the uniting force. Love Is a Business is a fantastic album, maybe their most accessible to date; and even if they never make another song as striking as "Ready for We" or a record as concise as High Society (though this one comes close), this could be the one that pushes them over the top.

The Gay Marriage Holdouts
What happens to the GOP if more Republicans follow Sen. Rob Portman's lead on same-sex unions?
Last Friday, after 24-odd hours of media chatter about Ohio Sen. Rob Portman's conversion to the cause of gay marriage, I ran into the one person who wasn't surprised. Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage, stopped by a happy hour that Rick Santorum's PAC was hosting for activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He was probably tired of talking about it, I figured, but why not ask? What did he think of Portman?
"Portman's going to have a primary in 2016," said Brown. Advocates of traditional marriage had never really trusted Portman anyway. "He was never out in front on marriage." And he wasn't representative of any Republican shift, as much as the media wanted to portray it as such.
The traditional marriage cause has received no good news since then. No other notable Republicans have flipped, but the Republican National Committee issued a report on party renewal, and it didn't mention marriage. A Washington Post/ABC poll found the highest-ever overall support for gay marriage, 58 percent. For the first time ever, young Republicans (under 49) were solidly in favor of gay marriage.
Overall, though, 59 percent of Republicans still opposed it. Republicans over 65, the party's most reliable voters, opposed gay marriage by a 68-25 margin. It's relatively easy for Rob Portman, three-odd years away from a primary, to flip on gay marriage. It's harder to calculate the costs for Republicans if they "evolve" on gay marriage now, or if activists think they see them evolving.
"I don't think the Republican Party will move away from traditional marriage," said Brown over the phone on Friday. (He's doing plenty of media before NOM marches on the Supreme Court next week, the day of the Prop. 8 hearing.) "There's no way a political party can abandon 80 percent of its electorate and survive. It just doesn't work that way. The idea that young people are the group we have to make this change for, while we abandon the black community's support for marriage, and the Hispanic community's support—all of this is just fantasy so that Rockefeller Republicans, country club Republicans can dictate the future."
Brown has a point. Republicans and conservative supporters of same-sex marriage have media savvy and a dynamite hook: They're changing a stodgy party that can't win national elections. What they don't have is institutional support inside the GOP. Ken Mehlman, the former RNC chairman who denied he was gay for years, can get more than 100 signatures on a brief supporting same-sex marriage rights. He can't get sitting Republicans, or active Republicans in the party's stronghold states, to sign it.
"Committed Christians make up a huge voting bloc within the GOP," said A.J. Spiker, the 32-year-old chairman of the Iowa Republican Party. The "Ken Mehlman sliver of the party," he said, didn't play in Iowa. "We can't win elections without committed Christians staying engaged. I suppose the argument is that young people won't vote Republican unless the party changes on marriage, but I don't hear young people advocating for gay marriage. I was the co-chair of Ron Paul's Iowa campaign, a liberty-minded group, and I don't hear it."
For the "Ken Mehlman sliver," Iowa's caucuses are part of the problem. Every four years, the media descends on a nonbinding activist contest and uses it to assign momentum to candidates. Every four years, candidates are asked to commit themselves to all manner of social conservative tests if they want to compete in Iowa. In 2011, NOM got the leading Republicans to sign a four-part pledge committing them, among other things, to the passage of a Federal Marriage Amendment. The Urbandale, Iowa-based FAMiLY Leader crafted its own pledge. Rick Santorum, who won the caucuses and briefly became the social conservatives' paladin, signed both pledges.
"Core values aren't talking points to be negotiated away," said Bob Vander Plaats, president of the FAMiLY Leader. "Core values are what motivate us. In the last two cycles, 2008 and 2012, we've nominated the most moderate candidates in McCain and Romney. We got crushed." But in 2012, voters also kept a Democratic majority in the state Senate and they retained a judge who'd voted to legalize gay marriage in the state. Was that a defeat for the marriage cause?

Turn Inactive Users Into Loyal Users with Reengagement
This week, we're launching a new type of campaign in AppCircle: Reengagement. Reengagement ads are shown to users who have already downloaded your app, but haven't used it in a while. Our data has shown that while the average user downloads more than 85 apps on to their device, the average app loses nearly 90% of all its users within 3 months – which why we created AppCircle Reengagement to help you retarget those users and drive user activity after the initial download.
Reengagement campaigns allow you to target ads towards users who have been inactive for a customizable minimum time period– for example, you could target users who haven't used your app in 2 weeks. You also have the option to set the minimum app version if you don't want to target users of older versions.
When creating a reengagement campaign, your creative should prompt users to come back to your app with an engaging message. You could ask them to complete a task or inform them of new levels and features in your app. You can also incentivize users to come back by giving them a coupon code that they can redeem for items in your store. When a user clicks on the ad, it will launch your app via a custom URL that you specify.
Glu Mobile, the publisher of Guitar Hero and Deer Hunter, has used Reengagement to increase engagement and spend in their Gun Bros app. The campaign targeted inactive users by encouraging them to try out new features and content that have been added to the game since their last visit. Statistically, returning users who are familiar with an app turn into highly loyal customers, and this was the case for Gun Bros. Compared to the average user, those activated by Reengagement ads were 77% more likely to make an in-app purchase and made 2.6 times as many purchases. With impressive results like these, Glu achieved a 230% ROI from the campaign. Learn more about Glu's success with AppCircle Reengagement here.
To set up your own Reengagement campaign, access Ad Setup through the Advertiser Tab. Under the Retargeting subtab, you will find Reengagement in Campaign Type. Select your Application (if you haven't already done so, you will need to set up the app under the Applications tab) and enter your App Store ID. For the best results, select Optimized under Targeting to allow Flurry's proprietary optimizer to dynamically adjust your campaign settings. However, if you want to set your own targeting parameters, select Manual to customize. Once you have entered your Budget and Delivery preferences, you will be able to Save your campaign settings for activation at a later date or use Save & Activate to send the campaign to our Ad Ops team for approval. You will be notified once your campaign has been set to live (usually within a few hours). That's it! You are now ready to turn those inactive users into loyal and valuable customers.
Let us know if we can help. Email us at email@example.com if you have any questions.

According to Rachael Ray, she grew up in food. "My first vivid memory is watching my mom in a restaurant kitchen. She was flipping something with a spatula. I tried to copy her and ended up grilling my right thumb! I was three or four," says Rachael, who insists that cooking is a way of life she was simply born into. "Everyone on both sides of my family cooks."
Rachael has parlayed that birthright into a wildly successful career as a syndicated television star, an iconic Food Network television personality, bestselling cookbook author, Founder and Editorial Director of her own lifestyle magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray, and Founder of the Yum-o! organization.
Rachael's hugely successful daytime program, Rachael Ray, launched in the fall of 2006. Showcasing Rachael's warmth, energy and boundless curiosity, the show invites viewers to experience life the Rachael Ray way. Credited with getting America back in the kitchen with her easy approach to cooking, Rachael takes the same philosophy finding simple solutions to everyday problems beyond the kitchen and into all aspects of the show.
Rachael's television work grew to include a series of lifestyle and travel segments, as well as a long-term relationship with the Food Network, hosting shows such as 30-Minute Meals, which earned Rachael a 2006 Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Service Show" and a nomination for "Outstanding Service Show Host." In 2011, Rachael launched a new competition show with fellow Food Network colleague Guy Fieri called Rachael Vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off and a kid version of the popular show called Rachael Vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off.
In addition to her television endeavors, Rachael has turned her 30-Minute Meals concept into a bestselling series of cookbooks, including Rachael Ray's Look + Cook, Rachael Ray's Book of Burger, My Year in Meals and Week In A Day.
She has partnered with Dad's Pet Care to develop a line of super premium dog food and treats called Rachael Ray Nutrish and in 2014, Nutrish launched both wet and dry food for cats. To date, Rachael has donated more than $9.0 million of her proceeds to animals in need.
In the spring of 2007, Rachael Ray launched a nonprofit organization, Yum-o!, empowering kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking. Because of her efforts with Yum-o!, Rachael received the honor of being appointed to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition by President Barack Obama in 2014.
