Japanese billionaire Hiroshi Yamauchi felt so indebted to Seattle, he once offered to buy 100 percent of the Mariners to keep them right where they are today.
Major League Baseball rejected that proposal, skittish about complete foreign control of the club. But officials agreed in 1992 to allow Mr. Yamauchi a simple majority stake alongside 16 local minority investors, keeping the Mariners from being sold to a group planning to move them to St. Petersburg, Fla.
Mr. Yamauchi, 85, who considered the purchase of the team a repayment to Seattle for serving as the United States launch point for his Nintendo video-gaming empire, died Thursday in Kyoto, Japan, after a steep health decline the past several months.
The future of the team's ownership remains unclear, but Mr. Yamauchi's baseball legacy is black and white: The Seattle Mariners would no longer exist without him.

"Mr. Yamauchi deserves unending thanks for his key role in saving baseball for Seattle,'' said Raymond "Buck'' Ferguson, one of the local investors who bought into the Mariners alongside Mr. Yamauchi.
Fellow minority owner Jeff Raikes added: "The idea that Mr. Yamauchi would spend that amount of money essentially as a thank you to Seattle for hosting his Nintendo headquarters in America is nothing short of extraordinary.''
The Mariners ownership group under Mr. Yamauchi paid $100 million to buy the team from former owner Jeff Smulyan in 1992. Owners later put in an additional $112 million to cover Safeco Field construction costs.
The Mariners are thought to be worth $1 billion or more, given their April purchase of a controlling interest in the ROOT Sports regional television network.
Former Mariners general manager Pat Gillick said Thursday that Mr. Yamauchi was instrumental in bringing Japanese star Ichiro to Seattle in 2001. The Orix Blue Wave owned Ichiro's rights and Mr. Yamauchi freed up the additional $13 million posting fee the Mariners needed to pay before they could even negotiate with Ichiro.
"Anytime I needed funds, he stepped forward and I got the money,'' said Gillick, adding that Mr. Yamauchi supplied similar cash to bring relief pitcher Kazuhiro Sasaki to the team in 2000. "He always gave me the tools to work with.''
The Mariners issued a statement Thursday stating: "His decision in 1992 to purchase the Mariners franchise and keep Major League Baseball in Seattle as a 'gesture of goodwill to the citizens of the Pacific Northwest' is legendary in this region.
"Mr. Yamauchi will be remembered for his role in moving forward the opportunity for Japanese baseball players to play in the United States. He will forever be a significant figure in Mariners Baseball history.''
King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer said in a statement: "When you think of Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson and other Seattle Mariners, remember that we would not have those memories without Hiroshi Yamauchi's commitment to keep baseball in Seattle.
"Hiroshi Yamauchi has benefited generations of Pacific Northwest families by his generous purchase of the Mariners in 1992 … Thousands of young boys and girls are playing today on Little League fields funded by the Mariners.''
Mr. Yamauchi's role in the franchise beyond money remains shrouded in mystery. He famously never attended a game, declining to even travel from his Kyoto home to Tokyo in March 2012 when the Mariners opened their season there against the Oakland Athletics.
In 2004, Mr. Yamauchi transferred control of his shares in the team — by then up to 55 percent — to Redmond-based Nintendo of America, the U.S. subsidiary of parent Nintendo Corp. The move was said to be for estate-planning purposes, but Mr. Yamauchi retained "titular control'' of the franchise, giving him the same powers as before.
What happens now is also somewhat of a mystery, given the team's complicated ownership structure. It's not yet known what Mr. Yamauchi's estate plan was and whether his immediate heirs would have sway over his stake. Mr. Yamauchi's fortune, estimated at $7.8 billion before the 2008 economic meltdown,
was said by Forbes this year to have dropped to $2.1 billion. Nintendo sales had slumped in recent years and Mr. Yamauchi — who owned an estimated 10 percent of the company's stock — took a financial hit.
His stake in the Mariners — if still subject to inheritance — would form a sizable piece of his estate. But it's been reported over the years that he gave the Mariners shares to Nintendo of America in order to prevent them from being subject to family inheritance.
Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln is longtime friends with Mr. Yamauchi's son-in-law Minoru Arakawa, and both represent Nintendo of America on the Mariners' board of directors.
Arakawa is a past president of Nintendo of America and married to Mr. Yamauchi's daughter, Yoko.
Lincoln is a former Nintendo of America vice president and in-house legal counsel to its parent company, who first approached Mr. Yamauchi — with former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton — more than 20 years ago to gauge interest in buying the Mariners after a longstanding professional relationship with him.
Sources say Lincoln remained the team's conduit to Mr. Yamauchi and had the closest relationship to him of any Mariners official — including other owners.
They say Lincoln has been the most powerful Mariners official since taking over as CEO in 1999 and oversees the bulk of day-to-day decision making by the ballclub.
The Mariners face key times ahead, with the team having declined to comment on whether it will retain manager Eric Wedge and general manager Jack Zduriencik.
The Mariners fell to 67-86 with a loss in Detroit on Thursday and are already assured of a fourth consecutive losing season amid steep attendance declines.
That's prompted calls by impatient fans for the Mariners to replace absentee owner Mr. Yamauchi with full local ownership. Despite the losing, payroll cuts and declining attendance, the Mariners remain profitable due to Safeco Field and television revenue, and analysts estimate their value has more than doubled the past five years.
Lincoln was on a 10-day fishing trip with his son Thursday in a remote part of Alaska. Sources said as of Thursday afternoon he had not been reached and told of Mr. Yamauchi's death. The funeral is expected to be this weekend in Japan.
The Mariners have internal bylaws requiring any sale of a controlling stake in the team to first be offered to minority owners and then any local group before it could be put on the open market.
Minority team owner John Stanton, a Bellevue billionaire who made his fortune in wireless communications, is thought to be the person most capable of buying a controlling stake.
Stanton bought his minority share in 2000 from John McCaw for a reported $5 million. It is not known exactly how big the share was, but McCaw had once owned 10 percent before parceling some of it off to other owners.
Three years ago, Stanton attempted to purchase an additional 10 percent in the team from top minority owner Chris Larson, who needed money to cover mounting debts. The sale was aborted when Larson found the value he'd get for the stake to be too low.
Larson retains 30.6 percent of the club, but a recent divorce and his financial struggles make him unlikely to acquire a controlling stake.
Sources say that Stanton has continued to try to increase his stake in the ballclub.
Other potential players on the team's ownership front include minority stakeholder Raikes, 55, who announced last week he'd be stepping down as CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Raikes, a former Microsoft executive, said Thursday he plans to devote the bulk of his time to other philanthropic endeavors.
He dismissed any question of increasing his ownership stake as "rumors" and said he remains just one minority owner among many.

Building resilience to climate change
This video shows examples of where successful restoration of damaged ecosystems has improved people's lives.
Nature - our trusted ally in the climate change fight
This film explains the two solutions IUCN sees to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change - Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) and Ecosystem-based Adaptation.
Climate thinkers
Climate Thinkers taps into the minds of leading scientists, politicians, policy makers and ordinary people to get their insights into the challenges of climate change and their ideas on how to tackle it. The video is produced by TVE with support from the World Bank, UN-REDD and Com+ Alliance, of which IUCN is a part.
Women adapting to climate change in Mozambique
Through its Climate Change and Development Project (CCDP), IUCN is working to develop adaptation measures which will sustainably safeguard local livelihoods and natural habitats.
Three country pilot studies of the project have been completed in Africa that have given new insight into how local livelihoods are being affected by climate variability and what measures people can take to make their lives less vulnerable and more resilient to the changing climate.
In this video Roberto Zolho, CCDP country coordinator in Mozambique, speaks about one of the lessons that has emerged from the project: that adaptation activities must integrate gender considerations, as men and women respond to climatic impacts in different ways.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Mountain Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Fi'zi:k Tundra M3 Carbon Braided Saddle $0.00
Fi'zi:k developed its Spine Concept Fit System to match riders with saddles that work in conjunction with individual flexibilities, not against them. If you flex easily to accommodate the ever changing positions necessary to move your bike any which way you desire, you're a snake. Fi'zi:k developed the Tundra M3 Saddle so that you'll have optimal support whenever you need it.
Designed specifically for cross-country riders, the Tundra M3 features a long (290mm) and narrow (125mm) shape which facilitates moving fore and aft on the saddle as necessary, for climbing or descending. According to Fi'zi:k's Spine Concept Fit system, as a snake, you're able to minimize pressure to soft tissue areas by keeping your weight on your sit bones.
The shell is fiberglass thermoplastic composite sheets which sandwich a layer of foam. This provides stiffness necessary to support sit bones while also allowing flex at the edges to reduce chafing. Fi'zi:k's Wingflex technology, which allows the sides of the saddle to move with your legs while keeping the top rigid, means that you'll transfer all your power to the pedals not to the saddle. These technologies combine for optimized stiffness-to-weight construction. The entire length of the Tundra is covered in microtex fabric.
The Primary difference in the Tundra M3 and the Tundra M3 braided are indeed the rails. Using carbon rails in the M3 Braided makes for a 30 gram weight savings. The rails are constructed from braided carbon wrapped with another layer of carbon fiber cloth for greater durability. This also creates a rough surface for easy clamping. The ovalized shape of the rails -- 9mm tall by 7mm -- wide further increases their strength.
Available in one size, the Tundra M3 weighs 165grams. It is available in Black/white/apple green.

A great saddle!
I love this saddle. I am able to move around freely due to the narrower width and flat top.. this is really nice during sudden pitch changes in the climbs. I can just stay seated and slide forward or back, as necessary. It is really light weight and rails are really strong. It Looks great too... matching the black and white Enve 60/40s. The subtle green matches the lime green on the Santa Cruz frame.
Carbon Rails? on a MTB Seat?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A little nervous about running carbon rails, but thus far it has stood the test of time. The seat is a race seat and a little rigid. But dang...it sure does make the bike look sexy!

Basel, Switzerland (Sports Network) - Hometown icon Roger Federer and
Argentine star Juan Martin del Potro highlighted Wednesday's winners at the
Swiss Indoors tennis event.
The world No. 1 and five-time champion Federer snuck past last week's Moscow
runner-up Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil, 6-3, 6-7 (6-8), 7-5, in 2 hours, 3
minutes on the indoor hardcourts at St. Jakobshalle.
The Basel native Federer beat Japan's Kei Nishikori for a second straight and
fifth overall Basel title a year ago. The Swiss great also claimed
championships here from 2006-08 and was a Swiss Indoors runner-up in 2000,
2001 and 2009.
Federer's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Pole Lukasz Kubot or
Frenchman Benoit Paire, who ousted fifth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi 4-6,
6-2, 6-3 in round one on Day 3.
Meanwhile, a second-seeded del Potro, fresh off his title last week in Vienna,
stayed hot with a 6-4, 6-1 opening-round victory over fellow South American
Alejandro Falla of Colombia.
Del Potro stunned Federer in the 2009 U.S. Open final, but is a dismal 0-6
versus the Swiss legend this year.
Up next for "DelPo" will be American comeback kid Brian Baker on Thursday.
Also in the second round, third-seeded nifty Frenchman Richard Gasquet rolled
past Swiss wild card Marco Chiudinelli 6-1, 6-4 and talented Bulgarian Grigor
Dimitrov outlasted Frenchman Julien Benneteau 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (1-7), 7-6 (7-3).
In some other first-round action, Aussie Marinko Matosevic erased seventh-
seeded German Florian Mayer 6-2, 6-3 and Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu handled
Swiss fellow wild card Henri Laaksonen 6-2, 7-5.
The 2012 winner of this $1.84 million event will earn $440,000.

Born on April 14, 1973 in New York, NY, Brody was raised in nearby Queens by his father, Elliot, a painter and retired history professor, and his mother, Sylvia Plachy, a noted photojournalist.

|BEST grant to enhance security at local schools
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Office areas at Holyoke Elementary and Holyoke JR/SR High will be remodeled for better security as a result of the receipt of a security grant in the Building Excellent Schools Today program through the Colorado Department of Education.
Office reconstruction with the BEST grant award will be completed in the summer of 2014, according to Superintendent Bret Miles.
In his BEST grant application presentation, Miles noted the district has worked hard to improve the crisis response plan security procedures. Changes have included cameras, wearing ID badges, buzz-in entry during the day and implementation of the I Love You Guys protocols for emergency situations.
However, in spite of the new procedures, cameras and buzzers, the district still lacks direct-line-of-sight control at the high school and full visitor access control at the elementary school.
At the JR/SR high, the plan is to redo the wall surrounding the office and to put in a roll-top sort of counter so the office can still be locked. This will give better visibility to the commons area and the front door.
At the elementary school, the doorway where visitors currently walk into the office will become a wall with a counter and roll-top opener.
The second set of doors to the vestibule will have magnet-lock holds. Visitors will need to turn to the counter to get help with entry.
Miles said this will provide a few seconds of delay for intruders, and a few seconds can make a difference.
The project is part of the district's overall facilities plan.
In August of 2010, the facilities master plan was completed, and a successful mill levy override election that fall allowed the district to complete the work in the master plan.
In 2011, BEST provided matching funds with the mill levy override to complete a much-needed boiler/fire alarm/electrical upgrade, along with a new roof on both schools.
In 2011, a security grant, as well as a technology grant, were also proposed to BEST but were unfunded. The technology grant work and much, but not all, of the work of the security grant have been completed.
This BEST grant award will assist with the Holyoke project that is not only part of the facility master plan but also an important part of the crisis response plan.
Total project cost is $105,248. Miles said the BEST grant will provide 55 percent that the state pays, while the district is responsible for 45 percent.
He explained that every district has a different BEST grant funding level based on condition of facilities, ability to pay, bond capacity and more. Holyoke is on the side where the state pays more than half.
In his presentation to the BEST grant board, Miles said he was pleased to respond to their question about local funding. Leveraging the mill levy override funds has provided moneys for the security update.
In the BEST process, Miles noted that when using state funds, there are state expectations. There is a specific list of requirements. They have to use certain criteria to evaluate construction companies that want to do the work. This process takes a little more time.
Miles said they will start advertising for this summer 2014 project this September and will probably finalize the design in January or February.
Miles said he's incredibly grateful to have this BEST grant. It's a minor drawback to have this extensive process to go through.
One of the Holyoke School District board goals in Destination 2016, the strategic plan, is to have the premier facilities of Northeast Colorado. "I'm very pleased with the progress we've made on those facility goals," said Miles.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent is facing an intoxication manslaughter charge after a one-vehicle accident that killed linebacker Jerry Brown, a member of the team's practice squad.
Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said the accident happened about 2:20 a.m. Saturday in the Dallas suburb. Argumaniz says 24-year-old Brent was speeding when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once.
Argumaniz says 25-year-old Brown was found unresponsive at the scene and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The police spokesman says officers conducted a field sobriety test on Brent and arrested him. The charge was upgraded after Brown was pronounced dead.
Cowboys VP Stephen Jones told USA TODAY Sports: "It's sad. Very sad. It's tragic for everybody."

iCandy research the advantages of investing in a carrycot for your newborn
iCandy are proud to be at the forefront of offering parents the option to have their newborn in the health promoting lie flat position with the use of an iCandy carrycot. Each model in the stunning iCandy range has a carrycot as an option, enabling parents to give their baby the best start in life.
Health Visitors from The Charity Health Visitor Direct advised: 'Recently we are seeing babies spending more time in their car seats. This is predominantly due to car seats now being designed for attachment on to pram bases. This is ideal for those short journeys where baby is only going to be out of the car for a short period; however it appears that the car seat is often used for long pram journeys, such as shopping trips and many parents are using the car seat instead of a carrycot. Car seats are very important for safe car travel but they are not ideal for other uses. There are some concerns around baby being in the car seat too long.
The safest position for a baby to sleep is flat on their back; and as new babies often fall asleep whilst being pushed in the pram, the best position for them to be in when in the pram is laying flat. There is some evidence to suggest babies who are in car seats are held in a position which can partially compress the chest wall and reduce airway size, resulting in lower levels of oxygen. Keeping a baby in an unnatural curved position for long periods of time might prevent or delay the correct development of the spine.'

Born Garrett Gonzalez Morris on Feb. 1, 1937 in New Orleans, LA, he was raised by his grandfather, a Baptist minster. Morris' first love was music and as a young boy he displayed his devotion in church, where he began singing at age five and soon became a fixture in the choir. In 1958, after traveling north for a musical competition, the aspiring performer decided to put down stakes in New York, where he joined the YMCA Drama Club. His first show business break came later that same year when Morris was hired as a soloist with the Harry Belafonte Singers, with whom he remained until 1968. He made the transition to acting in 1960 when he landed the role of titular character Leroy in the play "... Continue Bio >>

|Studies show boys lag behind in reading
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Conventional wisdom has long intimated that girls are more adept at language arts and reading than boys of the same age. A recent study indicates there may be some merit to the assumption that boys tend to lag behind girls in reading. In order to bolster interest in books and reading comprehension, parents and educators can look to many successful literary series that tend to draw the attention of boys.
A 2010 study by the Center on Education Policy that looked at trends beginning from 2002 to 2008 found boys have been lagging behind girls on standardized reading tests in all 50 states. According to Jack Jennings, president of the Center on Education Policy, "We found no state in which boys did not lag behind girls in reading at the elementary level, the middle school level and the high school level. So it's pretty clear: Boys are not doing as well as girls in reading."
There are many theories as to why boys seem to eschew reading for other things. Some say that boys in general are always on the defensive, and reading—which often calls to mind emotion and vulnerability—is not something that boys would like to admit to doing.
Furthermore, schools heavily push classics full of fictional characters as the mainstay of literary curricula. However, research points out that boys tend to gravitate toward nonfiction. Others argue that boys do not have enough male literary role models. The majority of adults involved in shaping boys' interest in reading are women, and boys might not view picking up a good book as a masculine activity.
Another theory as to why girls perform better on standardized reading tests revolves around brain function. Girls' brains tend to be more verbally oriented, which can make reading skills easier. Boys are more visually oriented.
It stands to reason that boys are more physically restless than girls as well. Sitting for long periods of time reading can be challenging, even for an otherwise well-behaved male student. This was discovered as early as 1986 in an analysis of more than 100 studies by psychologist Warren Eaton and his colleagues at the University of Manitoba in Canada. The findings revealed that the average boy is more active than about 69 percent of girls.
Choosing reading materials is challenging
Finding reading material to which boys will relate can be challenging. There is no blanket approach to finding the right books. Boys may need to be approached individually to find subject matter that will interest them and take them out of their comfort zones. Should schoolmates be viewed reading frequently, it may help other boys surpass their own reading fears and hurdles. Here are some titles boys can explore:
—"2095" by Adam McCauley: Children on a field trip to New York's Museum of Natural History travel one hundred years into the future.
—"Adventures of Captain Underpants" by Dav Pilkey: Fourth-grade boys get into trouble with their principal and decide to hypnotize him into the superhero "Captain Underpants."
—"Babe & Me: A Baseball Card Adventure" by Dan Gutman: Main character Joe wants to discover the legend of Babe Ruth and his home run predictions.
—"The Beast in Ms. Rooney's Room" by Patricia Reilly Giff: Ms. Paris, the reading teacher, helps Richard get serious about reading and win a contest for best class.
—"Encyclopedia Brown" series, by Donald Sobol: Readers solve the cases and explore adventures through the stories.
—"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen: A boy must learn to live in the wild alone after the plane he was traveling in with his father crashes.
—"Lunch Money" by Andrew Clements: Greg is a sixth-grader who is good with money. He begins creating and selling comic books at lunch until a rival cuts into his business.
—"Rufus and Magic Run Amok" by Marilyn Levinson: Rufus discovers he has magical powers, but this special talent isn't what he expected.

"Don't Just Stand There, Do Something," has long been an axiom of American business, especially within the vitally active sales functions. Pharmaceutical companies have too much riding on the success of their sales efforts to become victims of the inactivity trap. A growing number of companies are looking beyond the performance charts to the underlying drivers of performance and then building an action plan based on disciplined analysis.
After all, what sales executive inside or outside pharmaceuticals hasn't puzzled over sales performance charts trying to divine a formula for raising revenue yield per sales rep? When it comes to raising overall performance, several stock answers come to mind: providing general sales training, having in place a robust on-boarding process, mentoring new hires, providing necessary resources, and so on. But how well do these techniques really work?
The chart below depicts the performance of the 100-person North American sales force of a global pharmaceutical company with yearly revenue just over $377 million. Sales reps in the top quartile posted average sales of over $5.5 million annually, compared to slightly over $2 million for the bottom-quartile performers. That's a fairly wide range. What accounts for such a variance in performance? What distinguishes the stars from the underachievers?Looking at the performance curve raises several other questions. For one: How can a company increase the performance of every one of its sales reps? We know that a rising tide raises all boats. What "rising-tide" actions can be taken to raise performance across the board and within each of these quartiles?
In 20 years of research on driving up individual and company performance, Metrus Group has developed seven less obvious, more cost-effective recommendations for putting a company's sales force on that upward trajectory.
1. Set a Sales Strategy and Stick with It
If you examine what passes for sales strategy at most companies, you'll find that in many cases it's nothing more than a collection of time-and-territory management tactics. That's a big problem, because the last thing you want for a sales force headed in the wrong direction is for it to get there more efficiently.
Sales strategy begins with identifying the market, segmenting it, and deciding which segments are high priority. It includes deciding which products/services you will (and will not) offer each segment. It also requires identification and planning to develop the core competencies required to implement the strategy.
Sales strategies typically fail because they don't zone off what sales reps should not target. When William Crouse became CEO of Ortho Diagnostics Systems in the early 1990s, one of his biggest challenges was "deciding what we would not do and then sticking to it." He found that it was easy for sales reps to justify calling on a 200-bed hospital in the neighborhood, while avoiding the more difficult call on a 500-bed hospital that had been targeted. Crouse observes, "It's hard for salespeople to give up easy victories, even when they know those are not part of the sales strategy."
Difficult as it may be, setting a sales strategy, communicating it fully, and requiring reps to stick to it constitutes the bedrock for successful sales operations.
2. Reality-Test with Customers
Before setting sales strategy in stone, healthcare companies should head for the marketplace to test their customers' assumptions. Market research is a must, yet while many healthcare organizations conduct market research, they often fail to focus on customers' perceptions of the sales relationship. One East Coast physician expressed his frustration thus: "I don't understand why sales reps cannot get my concerns back to their marketing or management leaders."
One of the richest sources of information about customers' needs is sales reps, who, after all, are more likely to get up close with customers than are those who occupy the executive suite. In focus groups conducted for major pharmaceutical companies, Metrus has heard many comments such as this one from a Los Angeles sales rep: "I just listen to what they try to push down on us from above, and then I do everything I can to ignore it and deliver what the customer wants. I have the top sales numbers in my region."

Now after upgrading it does not work on either computer. I use this feature all the time. Anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Is that true a Wyoming resident can become a guide free of charge?
Gentleman and possibly ladies. My friend Adam and I have drawn WY general elk tags and are looking for REAL backcountry adventure. I've hunted areas 89/90/91 with some decent success but am looking into going into some of the real backcountry wilderness GEN tag areas around yellowstone. As you know we cannot access these lands in WY without a guide, and although I have nothing but admiration for guides, but while I'm still young enough to do it, I want to tackle this adventure with my own wits and hard work. A WY resident, free of charge can acquire a resident guide license and away we go! If you or any WY residents you know are interested in joining forces for an adventure like this please let me know. We are normal people with normal lives and families and what the heck... you only live once, and this is something I've always wanted to do. 20 some years ago, on a whim another good friend of mine and I applied for and got tags in NM unit 16A archery (back when drawing great tags was pretty easy for non-residents) and we met a few guys from Silver City NM out in the middle of the Gila Wilderness, we teamed up had a great time, and even helped hump out Mike's (from silver city) first bull elk. Yet today, we are still good friends and remain in touch. Thanks all and everybody have a great 2013! Ty N.
Is that true a Wyoming resident can become a guide free of charge?
A resident guide is unpaid and licensed to hunt in that area and is basically just hunting with nonres hunters.
I sent you a PM
I'm pretty sure what you said is untrue. Here's a link to the regulations. http://outfitters.state.wy.us/outfitters.aspx
From what I see, there is a charge, and the guide has to be employed by an outfitter.
That is the same site I was looking at. I would have to agree.
It is ok to go into wilderness areas with a resident guide. This is not common knowledge cause the paid outfitters don't want you to know. A resident can get a resident guide license to accompany an out of state hunter in wilderness areas as long as there is no compensation. I hope this link helps.
yes that is true. A wyo game and fish officer told me this before. check this link http://legisweb.state.wy.us/statutes.../T23CH2AR4.htm
Thanks ssliger.
Has anybody hunted up near the park in the last couple years? Units 60/70/71/81? I know the wolves had decimated the elk a few years ago, although it seems the elk may be staging a come-back? The wolf tags may be having the desired effect? There's alot of conflicting information out there. I was spoiled in my early elk hunting years hunting 16A in NM where we saw sometimes herds of hundreds per day. We'd really like to get into some elk and have a decent chance. I also heard the elk rarely bugle because it brings the wolves??? Is that true? thanks all!

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are dropping again on Wall Street as investors lose hope that Washington will meet a self-imposed deadline for reaching a budget deal by year-end. The five-day losing streak for the Dow Jones industrial average was the longest since July. The Dow lost 158 points to close at 12,938 today. The S&P 500 fell 15 points and the Nasdaq dropped 25 points.
NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil fell slightly today, as the stock market drifts lower and efforts continue in Washington to strike a budget deal before the year-end deadline. U.S. benchmark crude fell 7 cents to finish at $90.80 a barrel. Traders are also weighing rising energy supplies. The Energy Department says crude supplies fell last week but were still 13 percent above year-ago levels.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and congressional leaders are making a final stab at compromise to prevent the nation from falling off the "fiscal cliff" at the turn of the new year. Obama met at the White House today with House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The meeting lasted a little over an hour and neither the president nor the four lawmakers spoke with reporters after the session.
NEW YORK (AP) — A deal has been struck that for now averts a strike by longshoremen at major ports on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. A federal mediator announced today that an expired contract for 14,500 union workers would be extended until early February while negotiations continue. The mediator says there have been major steps forward toward resolving the dispute.
NEW YORK (AP) — Some customers of the failed brokerage MF Global could get back all the money they lost, according to the trustee working to recover those funds. That comes a week after an agreement between the trustee of MF Global's main brokerage unit and the trustee of its British operations. The two sides agreed to resolve all claims between them, which should free up an extra $500 million to $600 million to return to customers of MF Global.

Jonathan's Spoons: Helpful Hardwood Utensils
Store Profile
- Location: online only
- Specialty: Carved cherry spoons & serveware
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: woodspoon.com
Store History
- Founded: 1979
- Founded by: Jonathan Simons
- Headquarters: Kempton, PA
"From the start-up days of producing spoons in a chilly workshop in Maine, Jonathan's Spoons has grown into a successful craft business. I have a shop in rural Kempton, Pennsylvania with ten employees helping to meet the supply needs of my wholesale and retail customers. I exhibit my work at select craft shows around the country."
People have been cooking with wooden utensils probably since the discovery of fire. So what's so special about Jonathan's wooden spoon? It's all in the details. Carved to fit the hand, balanced in weight, buffed until it feels like butter. These spoons are sexy.
It all started when he forgot to pack a spoon with his lunch. Working as an apprentice furniture maker, Jonathan whittled himself a utensil. When he decided to start his own business, he remembered that spoon. And since 1979, Jonathan has been carving them up and selling them at craft fairs. His booth is a cornucopia of cooking tools weird and wonderful, from ladles and whisks, to spaghetti forks and spootles (that's a spatula/spoon combination). When it comes to spoons, Jonathan found it pays to be lazy. Carved from a single piece of cherry, molded to fit the hand, and with an ingenius notch in the handle, Jonathan's Lazy Spoon planks on the side of your pot, chilling until you need it. These smart, if unmotivated, vessels have legions of fans, including Oprah and Rachael Ray. In my kitchen, they're some of my Favorite Things.
For more about Jonathan's Spoons, visit their store page over at Marketplace.
