A million-dollar bust by authorities leaves a pile of unclaimed cash. One Sheriff's Office will use some of that money for the good.
A routine check at the Florida agricultural inspection station on Interstate 10 in Suwannee County Saturday turned up $1 million hidden inside two compartments of a tractor-trailer.
Charles Bronson, Commissioner for the Florida Department of Agriculture, says, "Our gamma ray truck picked up the fact that something else was being hauled in. This one particular truck that was not on the manifest turned out to have a little more than a million dollars in cash, presumably drug money."
The truck driver was released because he told authorities he knew nothing of it, which leaves the money unclaimed. Now it will go to all of law enforcement agencies involved.
Tony Cameron, Suwannee County Sheriff, says, "In a small, rural county, any type of funds is a great asset, but when you have the kind of funds that could come from this, it could really help a lot."
Sheriff Cameron says Suwannee County's portion of the money will be used to buy new equipment and perhaps cars for undercover drug operations.
"It's a great feeling to know that you can supply the men who work for you and women who work for you in your agency with the kind of equipment that they truly deserve."
The sheriff says whoever tried to get away with that money is only helping him better fight the war on drugs.
The other agencies that helped with that bust are the Florida Department of Agriculture, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Federal Drug Task Force.

OMG! You would think it was a dentist office when dealing with these people at my daughters cardiologist office! I am so pissed right now. I do like our doctor but....jeez, I am worried about my baby and they tell me I have a right to worry but they can't get me early in until weeks out!
The deal is...
My doctor is out of town!
I cancelled my original appt to get an early one, I then thought she was OK and I cancelled that one and now can not even get the original one back! AND...one of the partner doctors thought it best that she be seen! Good lord, I just went off on the schedule maker b/c she has no compassion when speaking to me. Then, her boss called and was a little better but I had to go OFF to get her to understand that my daughter has a major heart defect and she is just a baby for god sake!
"PLEASE get me an appt as the medical assistant and doctor thinks she needs to be seen!" For the Love of God people!
Sorry for the rant!

About The Rhoads GardenOriginally established in 1939 as "Lukens & Rhoads" by Walter Rhoads and William Lukens, we began as a roadside stand selling tomatoes in North Wales, Pennsylvania. The business flourished leading to an eventual expansion in 1963, which included a nursery, bedding plants, and a retail area, creating a smaller version of what our store is today. In 1969, Lukens passed away, and Rhoads soon sought the help of his family to keep the business running. His sons, Tom and Dave, began working at the company, and in 1974 took over as President and Vice President of what then became known as The Rhoads Garden, Inc.
Growth continued in 1976 with the addition of a floral department, and in 1978 with the beginnings of our landscape design/build services. In 1985, the Rhoads brothers purchased a farm in Worcester, PA to begin propagation of large trees, nursery stock, and annual crops. By 1987, another major expansion to the retail property was necessary to include a full-scale garden center, gift shop, floral department, foliage house, retail greenhouse and nursery.
In 1992, Walter Rhoads passed away leaving behind his legacy of hard work, determination, excellence in customer service, and a love of plants. The third generation of Rhoads family members joined the business throughout the early 2000's in various departments. In 2007, the company completed its third renovation project, nearly doubling the size of the floral and gift shops to the size they are today.
2014 marked the Rhoads Garden's 75th anniversary. As co-founder Walter Rhoads said, "Our customers are the lifeblood of our business." With that in mind, we are committed to offering only the highest quality floral arrangements, gifts, plants and trees. The exemplary customer service provided by our dedicated staff will assure you a pleasant and professional experience. We pride ourselves in "going the extra mile." So come take a walk through the Rhoads Garden, and experience our beauty for yourself. Thanks for 75 years and here's to growing each and every day.

Sarah Palin on Oprah: 'Katie Couric Thought I Was From a Nomadic Tribe'
Otherwise, how else could she wonder what Palin was reading?
Okay, so we just watched Sarah Palin on Oprah. The talk-show host covered all the bases — the major controversies, the interviews, the pregnancies (though not the issue of whether her baby Trig was really hers), and the issue of her quitting. She didn't pursue some questions with the doggedness we imagine Barbara Walters mustered up when she interviewed her for ABC last week. Like, for example, she let Palin off the hook when she offered up the usual "that's not on my radar screen" deflection after Oprah asked her about her presidential ambitions in 2012. "In 2012 Trig is heading into kindergarten," Palin said. "That's what I'm thinking about." Oprah didn't even laugh!
Most interesting to us were the parts (some of which have been released already) in which Palin talked about her daughter Bristol's unexpected pregnancy, and her own. She talked about making the decision to keep her baby and understanding the impulse not to, even though she wants other women not to be able to have that choice. (Oprah didn't press her on this.) She also talked about how she was displeased with the messaging the McCain camp chose — that the family was overjoyed to have a grandchild, rather than deeply concerned and upset at first.
Palin additionally opened up about her interview with Katie Couric, in which it seemed as though she couldn't name a single publication that she regularly reads. She felt that Couric was trying to characterize her as a rube. "I was already so annoyed, and it was very unprofessional of me to wear that annoyance on my sleeve," she said. "To me it was in the context of, 'Do you read? How do you stay informed? You're way up there!' It seemed like she was discovering a nomadic tribe." This seems to square, at least roughly, with the way she behaved in the interview — her incredulity prevented her from properly answering the question. (Though it was a fair question for a politician, and plus there are American Indian tribes in Alaska who probably won't love the idea that being compared to them pissed off their own governor.) She also admitted that she was "annoyed" by Couric at the time, talking about a moment when she came backstage after a rally and encountered her. "And there's the perky one, again, with the microphone, and the cameras rolling," she said. "And I'm like, 'Dang.'" Oprah, moments later, reminded Palin that she is "pretty perky, too."

This one is just really pissing off the abstainers out there.
This woman is going to live forever
For a long, long, long, long time, medical research has shown that people who don't drink die sooner than people who do. There's just no way to sugar coat this kind of thing. Barring disaster, unforeseen calamity or my getting run over by a Guinness truck, if you wave off the barley pop and whiskey sours, you're gonna find yourself in the long box before me. Sorry 'bout that.
The good folks from Alcoholics Anonymous have always come back with the defense that many people who show up as abstainers in these reams of papers and long-running studies are actually former heavy drinkers who've already suffered the ravages of a Tommy Lee lifestyle before 12-stepping into the future, and so are more likely to kick young when their livers try to leap clear of their bodies. But the authors of a new study, published in the current issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research (and written about this week in TIME magazine) say no, we looked into that. And you non-drinkers out there? Still gonna die sooner than that wino at the end of the bar.Okay, fine, say the doubters. Then how 'bout this: Statistically speaking, the majority of those who abstain from alcohol completely are from the lower socioeconomic classes and these people have more stress in their lives than some high-flying corporate CEO knocking back a couple flutes of Cristal while joyriding in his private jet. They have to worry about child care and money problems and buying shoes and whatever else it is that poor people worry about. Their lives suck pretty hard already, and without booze to make it all tolerable? Well is it any wonder that they're bedding down for the big dirt nap younger than their counterparts whose biggest stress is getting a good table at The Palm for their anniversary?
To which the authors of this new study said, Nuh-uh. We looked into that, too. As a matter of fact, according to the report in TIME, these guys thought of just about everything.
The article states that, "even after controlling for nearly all imaginable variables -- socioeconomic status, level of physical activity, number of close friends, quality of social support and so on -- the researchers (a six-member team led by psychologist Charles Holahan of the University of Texas at Austin) found that over a 20-year period, mortality rates were highest for those who were not current drinkers, regardless of whether they used to be alcoholics, second highest for heavy drinkers and lowest for moderate drinkers."
"Moderate drinkers," by the way, means those who have between 1 and 3 drinks per day. If those drinks happen to be red wine, that's excellent. If they happen to be glasses of super-call whiskey garnished with hundred-dollar bills and delivered by morally-challenged strippers, even better. Because although the results of the study seem to confound even its authors to a certain extent, the one thing they know for sure is that the regular consumption of Irish brain lubricant appears to be directly linked to regular social interaction and regular social interaction is vital for the living of a long and happy life. Unsurprisingly, those who take their iced tea without Long Island-ing it up also report much higher levels of depression than those who regularly stop for a couple pops after work. And now that they know they're going to die sooner, too? Well, that can't help the depression at all...
The figures shook out like this: During the 20 years of the study (in which 1824 people between the ages of 55 and 65 were followed), 69% of the non-drinkers died, 60% of the heavy drinkers went to that big barroom in the sky, and only 41% of the moderate drinkers booked a trip to the sweet hereafter. A 28% difference between 3-a-day boozers and Temperance League members is not just statistically significant, it's statistically huge, and though there are sure to be lots of complaints about the mechanics of the study in years to come, it still provides the best proof yet that long after all the gentle, temperate, dry souls out there have gone onto their final reward, I will still be propping up the long oak and buying rounds.
At least three a day, if I know what's good for me.

A consortium formed by Alfa's Alfasid del Norte unit and Monclova Pirineos Gas SA won the right to drill the onshore blocks of Tierra Blanca and San Andres at today's auction. Schlumberger will develop the Panuco field with Petrofac and Cheiron Holdings Ltd. won the Altamira field, Pedro Velazquez, who managed the bidding round for the state-owned company known as Pemex, said at the auction in Poza Rica, Mexico.
Pemex is using new service contracts to attract private oil producers to develop mature fields and increase well-extraction rates to reverse seven years of output declines. Today's auction is the second round of contracts after changes to national oil laws allowed private and foreign companies to gain control, without ownership, of Mexican fields for the first time since the industry was nationalized in 1938.
Halliburton Co., Repsol SA, Baker Hughes Inc. and Saipem SpA were among the bidders to develop the fields Altamira, Arenque, Atun, Panuco, San Andres and Tierra Blanca. The areas may contain as much as 1.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent, the Mexico City-based company has said on its website.
Pemex will pay the Alfa group $3.49 a barrel for the San Andres field and $4.12 at the Tierra Blanca development. Cheiron will be paid $5.01 a barrel at the Altamira field. The Panuco block had a winning bid of $7 per barrel by Schlumberger and Petrofac. Alfa shares rose 2.4 percent to 186.55 pesos at the close in Mexico City.
No contracts were awarded for the offshore fields of Atun and Arenque, Velazquez said.

The Nation's Pulse
The Lawn Mower Man
Waiting in the alley for enlightenment.
F. Scott Fitzgerald famously said the rich "are different from you and me." It wasn't just their great wads of cash, as Hemingway thought. It was rather that their wealth and influence enabled them to brush off life's jabs and right crosses when the rest of us would throw in the towel.
So, too, I've found, are English professors different from you and me. I have known my share of doctors of philosophy, and I've read a great deal of their published material, and I am convinced these folks feel more deeply, think more profoundly and experience life more intimately than do we poor working stiffs.
I came across another fine example of this the other day. Never in my life had I considered mowing the lawn a mystical experience until I read an essay called "The Metaphysics of Cutting Grass." Suddenly mundane little chores like mowing the lawn and picking up after the dog took on a transcendent aspect.
The author, an English professor at Graceland University (which is sadly in Iowa and not Memphis), discourses at length on the transformative enterprise that is mowing the lawn. Far from a commonplace task, mowing is an "applied art" and a deeply spiritual experience wherein one's "I" meets one's "me," where one works a perceptible change in the "physical, out there, external reality." I came away from this essay a little wistful over my misspent life, having stupidly mistaken 35 years of deep, meaningful experiences for mere drudgery.
I suppose that is to be expected since I am not an English professor. Only in the mind of a Ph.D. does one's every routine activity take on great meaning and significance, whether it's washing one's shorts or clipping one's toenails. Metaphysical experiences must be all English professors have when they're not teaching our children subversive literature.
Nor is it enough to transform one's own existence. Being an educator, the author longs to find that he has transformed his students' lives: "Perhaps I yearn too much to hear my echo in the world. Yes, occasionally, I do hear from a former student, several years out, that something I said or did has assumed some meaning in their lives."
Teachers are the only wage earners obsessed with assuming meaning in other people's lives. My plumber comes over and cleans out my clogged toilet, but does he sit around wondering if his Roto-Rooting has had a profound impact on my life? I sincerely hope not. That would be creepy. And it's not even their students' success that concerns teachers, but their impact on their students' success. If a student achieves anything, it is the result of his teacher's guidance and mentoring. If a student becomes a serial killer, it is because the teacher was unable to reach him.
AN IMPORTANT aspect of the metaphysical experience seems to involve what you or I would call zoning out, but what an English Professor calls surrendering "to a mental whateverism." This is:
a kind of watching, one step removed, the products of unwilled mental activity, products broken free of any establishing context. It's a being willing, not a willing -- a willingness to be open, not a willed effort to establish a goal against which to measure myself.
No doubt you are thinking: that is exactly what I've been doing when cutting the grass, but I have never been able to put it into such opaque and esoteric words! Thank God we have English professors to render our unintelligible thoughts into such transcendental prose.
I doubt I will ever achieve that level of enlightenment. When I took out the garbage this evening, I tried to experience the embodied texture of my mental experience. I stood in the alley a good five minutes, trash bag in hand, staring grimly at the Dumpster waiting to sense some kind of invisible growth. Only I felt nothing (except maybe a little foolish). Perhaps I am unworthy. Perhaps I don't have what it takes, which is apparently a Ph.D. in literature.
True, my actions have wrought some small change in the physical, out there, external reality -- after all the Dumpster is changed by the mere presence of more garbage -- yet I cannot help but feel dissatisfied. While the Dumpster itself is full, my actions seem empty of any higher meaning.
But I am working on my inner self. There is an old Buddhist saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come." I must go prepare myself. The English teacher could be here any minute.

The top prize in Powerball went untouched, setting up an estimated jackpot for Wednesday night's game of $36 million. Lotto starts over with an estimated top prize of $250,000.
There was one $10,000 Powerball ticket sold in Louisiana. That ticket matched four of five numbers, plus the Powerball. There were 36 Lotto tickets with five of six numbers, worth $1,399 each.
No major prize tickets were sold for Cash Quest.
The Lotto numbers were 5-10-11-16-25-33.
The Powerball numbers were 15-21-27-41-47, plus Powerball 20.
The Cash Quest numbers were 3-11-35-40.

Packing 101
A few tips:
- Don't bring everything you own. Leave something to claim your turf at home.
- If there are clothes in your closet you haven't worn in the past two years, leave them there; chances are you won't start wearing them when you get to Norwich.
- It does get cold, but you won't need your winter gear right away. A good idea is to pre-pack your winter items and then have your parents ship them out later. If you are heading home for Thanksgiving break, that would be the perfect time to bring home your spring and summer clothes and grab what you will need for the winter.
- Please note: NU does have a dress and grooming standards policy. See: Student Rules & Regulations, Chap. 3, Sec. VII. We suggest you take the time to become knowledgeable of the policy as you pack. Special attention should be given to the Hat Policy.
- Plan on accumulating things over the year; a little here and there adds up.
- You will want to coordinate with your roommate/s on some of the bigger items
Here are some suggestions for what you should bring:
Bed and bedding:
- Extra long sheets — the beds are longer than average. Bed, Bath & Beyond, JCPenney and similar stores usually offer good buys.
- Comforter and/or quilts. Consider bringing sturdy, easy to wash items
- Towels
- Pillows (extras if you plan on lounging or studying a lot on your bed)
Health and grooming:
- Shower shoes and bathrobe
- Shower caddy/basket to carry items down the hall to the shower
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo — you can buy all this here but you probably want to bring some as well to start you off)
- Prescription medications and copies of the prescriptions
- Suggested: First-aid kit with basic bandages, disinfectant, aspirin
Clothes and laundry:
- Clothes — your space will be limited, so only bring what you think you will actually wear
- Weather-appropriate outer wear
- Laundry bag/basket
- Laundry detergent, dryer sheets, stain remover
- Quarters for laundry machines, or use your Cadet$Card!
- Hangers
- Suggested: Small ironing board, sewing kit
Decorations and furnishings
- Photos, posters and other favorite items
- Adhesive wall mounts — you are not allowed to put nails into the walls
- Rugs or small piece of carpet, or slippers — the dorm rooms are not carpeted
- Storage or organizational items – stacking plastic crates can come in handy
- Trash can and bags
- Lamps — desk lamp or clip lamp
- Fan
Study stuff
- A backpack or book bag for everyday use
- Computer and necessary supplies/accessories
- School supplies: Pens, pencils, erasers, paper, notebooks etc. — you can also buy these things at the Book Store
- Head phones
- Only three-prong extension cords and surge protectors are allowed for expanding your electrical needs
Food and snacks
- Small refrigerator — not to exceed 1.8 cubic feet
- A mug, microwave-safe cup, plate, bowl, can opener, and utensils
Do not bring the following:
- Your dog, cat, gerbil, mouse, snake… NO pets are allowed in the residence halls
- Hot plate or mini stove
- Halogen lamps
- Cinder blocks, bricks, or crates for lofting beds
- Drugs, alcohol, weapons, fireworks (this includes alcohol trophies, posters, or souvenirs); there is zero tolerance for these items at NU
- Toasters
- 2-prong extension cords
- Subwoofers or gigantic speakers
- Air conditioner
- A car, unless given special permission

Engineering majors take on steel, masonry, wood projects during 4th annual Structures Day
September 6, 2012
By Mike Strasser, U.S. Military Public Affairs
(WEST POINT, N.Y.) Forty-five Class of 2013 cadets majoring in civil engineering participated in the fourth annual Structures Projects Day Aug. 28, conducted through the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
Three sites were established to give cadet teams a chance to construct steel, wood and concrete and masonry designs. Maj. Cullen Jones was the officer-in-charge for the Project Trowel site, where cadets built a four-level high concrete structure. He said the hands-on project ties directly into the CE483 course, where they learn to design and reinforce concrete masonry structures.
George Markuson, a master mason from the Department of Public Works, assisted cadets at the site with instruction on how to break up blocks of concrete, applying mortar and other techniques of the trade.
"They have to build two doorways and probably get about four or five levels high before they receive a block of instruction on finishing techniques and how to complete the exteriors of the structure," Jones said.
Afterward, cadets tear down the structure and clear the site for the next team. If their technique was good, less waste will be produced.
"Part of the investigation process they go through when breaking it down will show them what could happen if they don't lay down a good mortar bed," Jones said.
The steel and timber designs--Project Wrench and Project Hammer--relate to the CE404 course.
"The overall purpose is to get them exposure to the actual construction process with all the materials they're learning about this semester," Jones said. "It makes it a more visceral experience for them."
Class of 2013 Cadet Kenneth Skillman said the most challenging structure for him was the concrete and masonry design.
"I worked construction in high school, but never got the experience of using mortar and cinder blocks to create a structure," Skillman said. "I can swing a hammer or turn a wrench all day long, but I could personally use some more experience with a trowel."
His favorite site was the wood design, and the end result of Project Hammer--an 8-by-10-foot shed--would serve as a storage facility for Range Control.
"I really enjoy building things with a hammer, nails and wood," Skillman said. "Whenever I go home I give myself a wood project to complete; last break was a large bird house and the time before was a wooden trunk."
Cadets must work together at each site to get the job done, with one acting as site foreman to provide guidance for the team. Skillman said this was crucial to completing the project and served as a major learning experience. Oversight and planning are emphasized in this event, but still, cadets need to know the basics of using tools of the trade.
"My biggest takeaway is how each of the materials behave in a unique way when you're actually working with them," Class of 2013 Cadet Rachel Miller said. "You can have a perfect plan on paper, but if the wood is warped or the wall isn't plumb, you could be facing some serious issues with the structure."
Project Hammer was her favorite site and she found Project Wrench the most challenging. Each team was briefed at the start that safety came first, which required cadets to wear hard hats, goggles and gloves throughout the projects and nominate at least one safety officer. Equally important was communication, because a massive three-level steel structure does not rise inside a classroom silently.
"With almost everyone working simultaneously in a tight space, it kept us on our toes and we made some mistakes," Miller said.
Lt. Col. Craig Quadrato, the officer-in-charge of Project Wrench, said safety and speed were connected components of the steel design.
"If you work too fast, then you start violating safety guidelines--like dropping a tool or moving a piece of steel over someone's head," he said. "Then you get docked a point for every violation. The whole objective is to finish safely and efficiently with the winning team receiving 10 bonus points."
West Point has been a virtual learning laboratory for engineering majors over the past few years, as cadets have seen the completion of the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School and the ongoing construction of Bartlett Hall.
"We've taken many opportunities to visit those construction sites--definitely. Those are prime examples of everything we are teaching them," Jones said.
It also allows them opportunities to meet members of the Corps of Engineers, who oversee the military construction.
"Actually, one of the engineers from the USMAPS project is one of our advisors for the capstone course," Jones said. "Eventually these cadets will be doing a capstone project next semester, which will result in them doing a complete design of a project in Afghanistan."
One instructor said the majority of civil and mechanical engineering students tend to branch Engineer, and this is true in Miller's case.
"The Engineer branch is my top choice," Miller said. "There are a few factors there; I enjoy creating things and solving problems, and there are a lot of great opportunities with the Engineers to do exciting, meaningful missions. I have to say, the enthusiasm of the CE faculty for engineering might have something to do with that trend."
Skillman, however, will branch infantry if selected, but would also be happy serving as an engineer officer.
The event also serves to attract interest from the yearling class as the time draws near for those cadets to choose their majors.
Ideally, the projects are built outdoors for better exposure, but inclement weather dictated site locations this time. Maj. Kevin Arnett, the officer-in-charge at the Project Hammer site, said it was still a successful event for the CME department.
"We did our best with the uncertain weather, and we definitely would have preferred to be out there on Thayer Walk to show our story to the yearling class as they prepare to select majors," Arnett said. "However, as it was, the seniors who took part really got a lot out of the hands-on experience as well, so given the early rain, we couldn't have hoped for it to go better."
A Class of 2014 cadet and two Brazilian exchange cadets also participated in Structures Projects Day.
Branch Week is scheduled to begin Sept. 10 throughout West Point, which allows cadets to visit static displays and speak with branch officers and noncommissioned officers about their career fields.

Richey: Trout plant moratorium hits NorCal hard
By: J.D. Richey Journal Outdoors Columnist
If you'll recall, last week I wrote about the lawsuit filed against the Department of Fish & Game that's resulted in a moratorium on trout stocking in waters throughout the state. Well, now we have a more complete picture of which waters will and will not receive hatchery trout between now and 2010. Here's a closer look: Placer County Two of my favorite trout lakes in our neck of the woods will continue to get stocked — Hell Hole and French Meadows. Unfortunately, more local haunts like Halsey Forebay, Sugar Pine Reservoir and, just up the hill, the Truckee River are on the list of axed waters. Nevada County Okay, prepare yourself as this list is really going to hurt. The following waters will not receive trout plants for the foreseeable future: Bear River, Boca Reservoir, Bowman Reservoir, Donner Lake (so much for that late spring jumbo mack bite!), Fordyce Lake, Martis Creek Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir, Rollins Lake, both upper and lower Scotts Flat Lake, Lake Spaulding and a few lesser-knows. That pretty much covers everything, right? Well not so fast. Some of the high country waters will still receive fish such as Bullpen Lake, Carr Lake, Culbertson Lake, Faucherie Lake, Fuller Lake (float tubers rejoice!), Big and Little Island Lake, Jackson Meadows Reservoir, Rock Lake and several other smaller ones. El Dorado County The Cliff's Notes version of the trout planting situation in El Dorado County looks like this: There are more lakes that will be affected by the moratorium than not. In the good news column, Upper and Lower Angola lakes, Kirkwood Lake, Loon Lake, Rockbound Lake, Round Lake, Rubicon Reservoir, Sawmill Pond, Shower Lake, Union Valley Reservoir and Walton Pond will get fresh loads of truck trout in the upcoming year. On the other hand, here's a glance at the waters that are going to get the shaft: the American River's Silver Fork (think Kyburz), the South Fork American at Coloma and Riverton, Dark Lake, Echo Lake, Ice House Reservoir (better get up there while there are some left!), Jenkinson ("Sly Park") Lake, Stumpy Meadows, Taylor Creek, Wrights Lake and a couple other smaller high elevation numbers. Amador County Lake Pardee will keep getting stocked by the DFG, while popular Lake Amador won't. The concessionaire at Amador, however, will continue to plant cuttbows from their private hatchery — and those are the fish you go to the lake for, anyway. This whole situation is a real bummer and not only is the lawsuit forcing the DFG to cease planting in these and many other waters across the state, it's causing the Department to invest a ton of manpower and money in a time when both are in extremely short supply. Once again, here's a little back story: In October 2006, Pacific Rivers Council and Center for Biological Diversity, represented by Stanford Law students, sued the DFG over fish stocking programs it has engaged in for more than 100 years, claiming that no Environmental Impact Report (EIR) had been completed for the programs. The result of the case was a court order requiring DFG to complete an EIR. DFG is engaged in the years-long and multimillion dollar EIR process, now scheduled to be completed in January 2010. To learn more and see a complete list of lakes in California affected by the situation, log onto the DFG's webpage at www.dfg.ca.gov. In the meantime, get out there and catch a few trout while there's still time! J.D. Richey is a 1986 Placer High graduate, and his outdoors pieces have been published nationally.

This reminds me why I put up with her childish behavior in Season 2 of GOT, lol. Seriously though, it's an excellent pic and definitely a nice softer look for her as opposed to the TV Show adaption. Great job!
Sooo sexy and yet so respectful to the character
Something about this reminds me of Amalthea from The Last Unicorn. I love its fluidity and rich color. Nicely done!

Is Jack Evans Responsible for Thad Cochran's DCHVRA Vote?
LL watched the Senate cloture vote yesterday in the press gallery beside WTOP's inimitable Mark Plotkin. We both struggled to hear the votes as they were called—helped not at all by Plotkin's stream of anecdotes stretching back well into the '70s and beyond.
Then we heard: "Senator Cochran, aye."
Thad Cochran? Republican of Mississippi? Gentleman Southerner? Certainly not a fellow anyone thought would stick his neck out for the District.
Plotkin immediately though he knew what was up: "That was Jack Evans! It worked!"
So he goes into the story: Two years ago, Evans with Plotkin at West End steakhouse The Prime Rib, where the radio man was celebrating his birthday. Plotkin—a walking, talking Capitol Hill facebook—spotted Cochran seated with another distinguished-looking gentleman at a nearby table. As is his wont, Plotkin told his buddy to introduce himself to Cochran and put a word in for voting rights.
Evans did so. But Plotkin neglected to tell Evans which of the two was the actual senator.
"I introduced myself to the bodyguard," Evans remembers. "He looked like a senator—gray hair, very distinguished looking."
Once that was straightened out, the Ward 2 councilmember asked him to consider a vote for District voting rights. "He said something to the effect of, 'Oh yeah, I'll think about that. Thanks for mentioning it.'" He followed up with a note and didn't think much more of it.
As it happens, Evans was one of the few members not on the scene yesterday—he was tending to council business back at the Wilson Building—but Plotkin was convinced he'd done his part years before.
"And it worked," Plotkin beamed. "It worked! [Cochran]'s smarter than I thought!"

Staff Writer
The Fulton County 4-H Club recently started a new shooting sports program for area youth. 4-H provides opportunities for youth to acquire knowledge, develop life skills, form attitudes and practice behavior that will enable youth to become self-directing and productive.
Now with a Fulton County Shooting Sports program to back that up, kids can learn firearm responsibility, leadership, sportsmanship, ethics, critical thinking and an appreciation for nature.
"We had an interest meeting last year and found that there was a lot of people in the area interested in the program," Brad McGinley Fulton County Extension Agent said.
"Before we got started we had to have trained instructors. We have Kelly Shrable, Heath Everett, Joe Massy and Gary Phillips," he said. "The instructors are really the ones that make this go.
They are at all the meetings and are teaching the kids hands on. They all went to Little Rock for three days of training where they learned safety procedures; how to teach the kids to shoot, along with the proper methods. When they got back we were ready to go forward, but with a program like this there is a big need for money, donations and equipment," he said.
"Karrol and Vicki Fowlkes donated the money for us to buy the pellet rifles. Lifelong Health donated the money for us to buy our pellet pistols, and Cel-Star also donated. We just received a $1,300 National Rifle Association grant that we can do some good stuff with. Our program deals with archery, shotguns, rifles and pistols right now. There is a muzzleloader category but we don't have trained instructors in that right now," McGinley said.
McGinley said that the program is not restricted to pellet guns. They will also shoot .22 rifles once they get the proper equipment.
"We are here to teach discipline and safety as well as wildlife education. There is a hunting component to this program as well, where kids learn how to use a compass and how to identify wildlife species," he said.
"As soon as it warms up we are going to start meeting at the Viola Boy Scout Camp. Then we will start doing everything. We will be shooting shotguns, clay pigeons and clay targets, that type of thing along with archery," McGinley said.
Along with teaching gun safety, shooting skills, wildlife identification and citizenship the, 4-H shooting sports program has competitions that extend to the national level and beyond.
"We have two different state competitions where we have 4-H kids from across the state compete in range competitions where they shoot at the bullseye and Youth Hunter Education Challenge which is more of a wildlife type competition. They are both held in the summer and are one of the biggest competitions in the state as far as number of kids in attendance. That will be our next step," McGinley said.
The age requirement for the program is nine-years-old to shoot, although younger children may attend the meetings for education.
"We meet once a month now but we will most likely be meeting two or three times a month once we get closer to competition," McGinley said.
Safety is stressed at all times between the instructors and children. "We control all the ammunition at all times. We provide all the ammo; the kids bring no ammo, that way there is no spare round out there. We really focus on safety; it is just such a big part of this. We have a code of conduct and a set of guidelines we always go by," McGinley said.
Kids who are interested in joining this program need to sign up at the Fulton County Extension Office located in the Federal Building on the Square in Salem, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or call 870-895-3301.
McGinley said that kids who win at state level competitions advance on to the national competition where many 4-H kids have gone on to the Junior Olympics.
"We try to teach all those skills and if a kid wanted to take it to that level, our program will give a good foundation to build on," McGinley said.

If you're not familiar with money market accounts, then the benefits will outright astound you. You'll no doubt wonder why you never looked into this type of investment before now. The returns are all but guaranteed, there's low risk, you enjoy built-in diversity, and that doesn't even take into account your quick access to liquid funds.

The great thing about a money market account is that it doesn't keep you from your cash. If you want to cash in your bonds, sell your stocks, or get money for gold, it takes time. Those processes are comparably complicated, which isn't good if you need fast access to your cash. Some banks will even let you use debit cards and checks for your money market account, so if you're running low on funds, you've still got peace of mind in knowing your account has money waiting for you.
That being said, there are limitations put on how much money you can withdraw—but that's a good thing. The whole point of starting a money market account is to save money for your retirement, a vacation, a new car, or even the down payment on a house. Accessing your funds in an emergency is great, but most banks put restrictions in place so you don't wipe out your savings. A look at a money market savings graph reveals that investors are far less likely to end up with empty accounts due to over-spending.
A diverse portfolio is really a beautiful thing. Diversification means you'll never lose your entire investment. In a money market account, your money is steady. If you've invested some of your money in stocks and those stocks bomb out, you've lost your investment. That's not the case here. On the contrary, your money is always there.
That security partly because money market accounts are fully insured by the FDIC. Banks offer these accounts, so they're responsible for them, in a way. If something goes wrong, not even a bank-based failure will cause you to lose your money. In fact, you're entitled to receive as much as $100k back if something goes wrong. This type of investment is practically foolproof.
If you're tempted to put your money in a savings account, think again and take a look at another money market savings graph. You'll quickly find that a money market account offers a higher yield than a traditional savings account. Annually, this account earns between 3-5 percent interests, which is higher than a mere savings account. Your money grows at a faster rate, so you'll enjoy a higher yield on your return when you have to withdraw your money. That's also why money market accounts are great for goal-saving.
The advantages of a money market account are monumental, with practically no risks involved to offset those benefits. Do you think you'll switch from a savings account to the money market?
