CBS (Sun., Dec. 14, 9 p.m. ET)
James Garner, playboy real estate agent, returns home to the farm for his mother's funeral. There we learn about Garner's promise to her: He will take care of his schizophrenic adult brother, James (Against All Odds) Woods. "I don't have responsibilities, not like that," Garner complains. "I don't even have goldfish." Garner discovers that his brother is crazier than he'd thought, always washing his hands four times before eating, ordering every Ronco product advertised on TV, going through manic periods and through depressions. Garner tries to make the arrangement work but finally gives up, sells the family farm and uses the cash to put his brother in a home. The moral of the story is muddled. Since neither causes nor cures for schizophrenia are known, the movie can't want us to do much about the ailment. All Promise seems to say is that if we have a sick relative, we should be lucky enough to have a farm to sell.

Because the submarine reconnaissance program remains very secret, no reviewer can say just how accurate this book is. Certainly it was obvious for years that some sort of program was proceeding. For example, from about 1950 on much of Western antisubmarine warfare was based on a technique, LOFAR, which distinguished submarines based on their acoustic signatures. Someone had to collect the signatures of new submarines as they emerged from Soviet yards; only submarines could perform this mission. Similarly, throughout the Cold War, the submarine force placed special stress on not revealing the details of submarine masts—which clearly carried radar and radio intercept antennas. It was even public information that the later Sturgeon (SSN-637)-class boats had a special radio intercept space. In 1975 there was a limited disclosure that these submarines were often used to collect radio and radar data off Soviet shores. Much later an National Security Agency employee, Ronald W. Pelton, was arrested and convicted for disclosing to the Soviets that the U.S. Navy had tapped the undersea cable from Kamchatka to Vladivostock. Finally, in 1994, Dr. John P. Craven disclosed a heretofore secret U.S. capability to retrieve objects covertly from the deep sea bottom, in hopes of maintaining continued congressional support for that program.
This book fleshes out these disclosures, but it misses some important points. First is a misunderstanding of the essence of deterrence: that the other side comes to believe that it cannot win a war. Successful U.S. submarine penetration of Soviet waters, and the even more successful trailing of Soviet submarines, almost certainly helped convince the Soviet Navy that it was unlikely to win the undersea part of World War III. Also the authors miss the fact that the Soviets as well as the Americans intended to negate the underwater deterrent by trailing and sinking ballistic missile submarines as soon as possible after the outbreak of war. American deterrence rested partly on convincing the Soviets that their plans were unlikely to be successful, while convincing them that our plans probably would succeed. The authors miss the likelihood that the Soviets adopted the bastion strategy (to protect their ballistic missile submarines) because they became convinced of U.S. superiority; that adoption was a major U.S. success, not an unsettling development.
A second major point the authors leave out is the extent to which the submarine force covered its operations. During the Cold War there was a widespread belief in the naval community that submariners played little part in peacetime operations, that they took few risks (because of a mentality fostered by Admiral Hyman Rickover), and that they had little tactical competence. There were stories, for example, of tactical experts who rode submarines as they deployed, simply to teach the officers how to conduct attacks. If the content of this book is accurate (and there is no reason to imagine otherwise), all of this was a gigantic deception. Submarine commanders were anything but timid; they competed in taking risks and possessed considerable tactical ingenuity. The risks in turn would have helped convince the Soviets that they ought not risk going to war. Note, incidentally, that it actually helped that the Soviets sometimes detected submarines reconnoitering their waters or trailing their ballistic missile submarines; otherwise, the deterrent message would not have been driven home.
The authors properly compare the submarine program to the U-2, but they miss the point. The U-2 was risky because the Soviets might think that an airplane detected overhead was carrying more than cameras and radar-intercept gear. They could have decided to launch their own bombers. In fact, they understood that no single airplane—and no single submarine—was a major threat. Both sides used what President Eisenhower had extolled—their common sense. None of the Cold War reconnaissance programs on either side was likely to risk destroying the world. In fact, Cold War air reconnaissance was far more dangerous than its undersea counterpart, with more than 100 U.S. airmen killed or captured.
Probably the most important point of all, which the authors certainly do make, is that the reconnaissance conducted during the Cold War points to the submarine service's most likely post-Cold War mission. The submarine's stealth still allows it to linger in areas otherwise denied to the United States, to collect information that we desperately need to understand the perils we face. The service's misfortune has been general public ignorance of its continuing value at a time of budgetary crisis. This book may help awaken the defense community as a whole to what submarines can (and do) really accomplish for the country, in a dangerous peace as well as in war.
Unfortunately, probably because submarine security is so good, details are often thin, and the book is padded with irrelevancies, like the well-worn stories of Rickover's abrasive style, or the losses of the Thresher (SSN-593) and Scorpion (SSN-589), neither one of which was on a reconnaissance mission at the time of its loss, Nor are gruesome Soviet submarine accidents—of which there were many—really germane. They have been listed and described elsewhere (and, incidentally, in an extensive Russian-language literature which the authors have not referenced at all). Many of the published references are decidedly stale, such that parts of the book seem not to have been revised since the early 1990s. Nor do the authors help their credibility by some of their technical references: e.g., to submarine conning towers in later nuclear submarines (the last conning towers, pressure-proof enclosures inside a floodable superstructure, were in Seawolf [SSN-575] and Triton [SSN-586]).
The Navy has been less than enthusiastic about the book, for obvious reasons. Whether or not release of the information in this book might be beneficial, no official release has been made. The Navy argues, moreover, that the release of details of submarine patrols may well inadvertently reveal details of tactics and technology, which might either benefit a foreign submarine force or might make the U.S. force more vulnerable. The basic issue is how to control information. Everyone will probably agree that some information ought not to be made public. It is impossible to allow everyone to be his own declassifier; some degree of control is essential. The danger in this book, as in other major leaks of information (such as the H-bomb design secret in 1979) is not that national security is compromised directly, but rather that the leak may encourage further leaks—which could make an already bad situation much worse. For example, when the H-bomb secret leaked in 1979, the argument was made that the Soviets and the Chinese already knew. Third World governments interested in the H-bomb probably did not, however. Now they did. Once the central secret was out, much more leaked. For the Navy, and for the government as a whole, the question is what information to safeguard. An attempt to safeguard virtually everything, which is what the Navy seems to be trying to do in this case, often fails because those within the system see no distinction between important and patently unimportant information. Some of them develop a contempt for very necessary security—which is most unfortunate.
On balance, this book is probably good for the Navy and its submarine service, because it tells the taxpayers—who ultimately must support the Navy—that it did something important and worthwhile during the Cold War. It is unfortunate that the release of information could not have been better controlled and more accurate.
The Minuteman: Restoring an Army of the People
Gary Hart. New York: Free Press, 1998. 188 pp. Bib. Index. $23.00 ($20.70).
Reviewed by Commander Thomas C. Stewart, U.S. Naval Reserve (Retired)
Former Colorado Senator Gary Hart has written a challenging and thought-provoking essay about the importance of citizen soldiers to the health of American democracy. The trouble is that you have to hack your way through the underbrush of his latest book to find it. Senator Hart's repetitions, carping asides, and donnish digressions into Clausewitz, Machiavelli, and the even more remote 17th-century English philosopher James Harrington make this short book seem twice as long as it really is, while doing little to buttress his basic arguments. This is unfortunate, because Senator Hart's case for why the citizen soldier should be our country's military paradigm for the 21st century is worth reading, whether or not one agrees with all he has to say.
Senator Hart reiterates the classic arguments in favor of relying on the reserves rather than on the regular armed forces for our primary defense needs. Relying on the reserves democratizes the services, and keeps the military from becoming a separate warrior caste. It builds bridges between our armed forces and the society they defend. It strengthens the concept of citizenship. It encourages average Americans to take a thoughtful interest in defense and foreign policy issues. Relying on the reserves discourages our elected leaders from committing American forces abroad without good reason, and it encourages public support for our armed forces when they are embarked on a just cause. Senator Hart notes, for example, that President Kennedy called up the reserves during the Berlin Crisis in 1961 to demonstrate American resolve in the face of Soviet bullying, but President Johnson declined to commit the reserves a few years later in Vietnam, because public opinion on American involvement was sharply divided.
So far, so good. With the collapse of Soviet Communism, Senator Hart sees the reserves as the key to American defense policy in the post-Cold War era. He argues that the armed conflicts of the 21st century are more likely to be civil wars and guerrilla insurgencies than wars between nation-states. Hence, U.S. military involvements abroad will likely be police actions and peacekeeping missions rather than full-scale conflicts. Accordingly, Senator Hart maintains that a small elite regular force, backed by trained reserves, will be sufficient to meet U.S. defense needs in the future. Regular forces could be cut to "perhaps one-third" their present size, the defense budget reduced, and the reserves would still be available in the event of a major war.
It is a neat argument, but it assumes too much. Senator Hart's book is peppered with such easy assumptions, such as when he says that the exigencies of the containment of Communism have now disappeared, "except for North Korea." Evidently, he regards the People's Republic of China as neither a Communist state nor a threat.
In the same way, Senator Hart breezily assures us that "long-range, computerized, high-tech warfare so dear to the military-industrial complex is the least likely form of conflict in the foreseeable future." As a U.S. senator, Mr. Hart spent 12 years on the Armed Services Committee. He is properly scornful of pork barrel defense projects that produce elaborate weapon systems for no better reason than to create jobs for constituents. But at a time when rogue states such as North Korea, Iran, and Iraq are inching toward the capacity to strike U.S. targets with ballistic missiles, can he dismiss the possibility of computerized, high-tech warfare as easily as he does?
Senator Hart maintains that with regard to his overall proposal, "the devil is not in the details." As a reservist myself, who served in the Gulf War, I know better. The details are everything. The success that my squadron-augment unit enjoyed in our service in the Gulf War was owed in large measure to our high level of training and preparedness—which in turn was the result of training periodically with regular forces. For the reserves to realize Senator Hart's ideal, all reserve units would have to meet the same high standards that my own unit demonstrated in the Gulf War. The quality of training and the degree of integration between the reserves and the regulars both are important, and can by no means be assumed, along with the book's many other assumptions. The devil is very much in the details.
The reserves are part of the solution to meeting America's post-Cold War defense needs—a significant and underutilized part of the solution—but without proper training they cannot play the role that Senator Hart envisions for them. Moreover, he does not address the question of how we can shrink our regular forces while our international peacekeeping commitments continue to grow. We cannot play the role of peacemaker without the military muscle to deter aggressors and enforce ceasefires and other pacification efforts.
Senator Hart makes much of the fact that Niccolo Machiavelli, the Renaissance politician and philosopher whose name has such a sinister connotation today, was in fact an opponent of princes and a believer in republican government. Because he wished to keep his native city of Florence a republic after the city had expelled the ruling Medici family, he convinced the new government to rely on a native militia rather than on hired mercenaries. But Senator Hart neglects to mention that Machiavelli's militia was ultimately routed by an army of professionals, the Medici family was restored to power, and Machiavelli himself ended his life in exile. In his next book, Senator Hart should pay closer attention to those pesky details.

Austin Hironaka Interview
Our homie Jake Hanson recently caught up with Ride pro Austin Hironaka to talk about snowboarding, Honda's, filming, and much more. Hit the jump to read the interview and check out his dope Lego rolling table.
Jake: It's been a busy year dude – Ride moved you up to the Pro team, you've logged some big trips, filmed quite a bit, and now you're making a web series with the Snoqualmie crew. How'd you score that?
Hiro: Well, my homie Tommy Little that I filmed with last year has been doing a really good job and when Ride saw his work they offered him a job. Tom asked Ride who he should film and was given the opportunity to choose his crew. It ended up being Seth Kitzke, John Shaw and me shooting with Tommy, so now I'm riding with the homies doing what we do.
Jake: Are you guys riding locally for most of the season or will you be racking up the air miles?
Hiro: I think there's going to be a midwest rail trip in there, definitely some Tahoe stuff, maybe a Salt Lake trip, Idaho – who knows. Ride With Us. Wherever the hell we're going, you should come. Got that Gold Pass this year from RideWashington so we'll definitely be making some local stops.
Jake: PURE GOLD! Other than Ride With Us, what's coming up for you?
Hiro: I'm gonna try to stack a two-year part during our Ride With Us travels and see what I can't put out in two years time.
Jake: With all these projects in the garage I can imagine it's tough to get away from home. Why Hondas?
Hiro: Because they're made from the homeland; the land of the rising sun. But beyond that, it's a cool platform to work on because there are so many customization options, and you can put parts from an Acura in a Honda and vice versa. Honda's are solid.
Jake: You got to make your first trip out there recently, right?
Hiro: Not only did I go to Japan for two weeks and ride some of the sickest pow of my life, I got to go to Talon, Estonia with the FODT crew and filmed for Familia 2. That was such a cool experience – our tour guide was a famous rapper from Estonia – total chart topper. They did it in their time. RIP Revo. Turkey was two years ago, which was epic too. Life is good.
Jake: Sounds like it…but have you been to any good shows lately?
Hiro: We hooked up Meth and Red with some proper salad last time they were in town.
Jake: Japmob
The Rook: Blunts, backflips or pre-rolled cones?
Hiro: You can't beat a perfect backflip. Japmob

Ever since seeing the "Build Your Own Predator Drone at 99.95% Discount" talk at Shmoocon 2010 I've been tempted to build an aerial drone. Busy with other projects I never got to it, but this past Fall at World Maker Faire Amy saw the AeroQuad guys and was intrigued enough to get me a quadcopter for my birthday.
While an R/C quad isn't quite the same as an un-piloted one, it's a good first step in my mine since learning the flight dynamics and electronic basics will be super useful. In addition, some of the autonomous drones are 'put up' using R/C before they take over and run through their programmed flight path. I fully intend to go down that route at some point, and will probably get some gear from DIYDrones.
While I would normally stick to something open source – the lack of spare parts availability spooked me from pursuing the AeroQuad platform. One of the most common quads going is the DJI Flame Wheel 450 – or "F450″ as you'll see it in a lot of places. There are a few good things for novices in the DJI realm:
- Spare arms (or booms) are widely available, and cheap ($5-$7 each usually) – even dyed interesting colors.
- The DJI flight controller – NAZA-M is well documented and very common. There are tons of videos on YouTube detailing every setting with possible implications
- It only takes a minute or two to switch from 3s (3 cell) to 4s (4 cell) LiPo batteries so you can run either
- It comes with both 8″ and 10″ props for running with various loads and different battery voltages.
- It has a built-in and configurable low voltage alarm on board.
There are a ton of how-to build documents online so I won't go through the steps here, but a few pictures of the very quick assembly process are included for those curious:
Never having flown any R/C helicopters or really any serious planes – I was fully prepared to crash (and had spare arms and a bundle of spare propellers) but my first flights went well. I had a chance to fly it indoors first, and we took video of some of it:
The following day I mounted a camera to the quad (Swann Freestyle HD) and flew outside in the wind:
After a few days of flying, some small tweaks, and learning a lot more – I'm getting smoother. Here is the progress after a week:
Clearly my video editing skills need even more practice than my flying skills. To be continued…

There are still 10 days to go for Penn State to put the wraps on its 2011 football recruiting class, but there's a chance the Nittany Lions may already have finished up.
"I think 15 [recruits] is full for them,'' said Altoona native Cory James, who covers Penn State football recruiting for Scout.com, "but maybe they could find some room for the right kids.''
Deion Barnes' commitment on Thursday gave the Lions 14 recruits in this year's class. Cathedral Prep defensive back Shyquawm Pullium, who signed with the Lions last year but spent this season at Kiski Prep and has recommitted to Penn State, would fill the apparent number of available scholarships.
However, there are ways around that. Some players could be asked to grayshirt, or enroll next January. Then they would not count against the 85-player scholarship limit until next year, when Penn State is expected to have a lot more scholarships available.
While the Lions could close the book on this class now, they are still recruiting.
"They'd like to get a defensive tackle and a cornerback,'' James said.

Wisconsin defensive tackle Donte' Phillips is on campus this weekend for an official visit along with already committed wide receiver Matt Zanellato from Virginia and place-kicker Sam Ficken of Indiana. Phillips doesn't have a scholarship offer yet, but many expect him to receive one before he returns home, and there's a strong feeling he'll wind up a Lion.
A first-team all-state selection, Phillips committed early to Indiana but began to look around when the Hoosiers made a coaching change. He's young for his class and, while not particularly highly graded by the scouting services at the moment, seems to be a fast-riser who's been drawing increasing attention from upper-tier colleges programs in recent weeks.
It appears the Lions would like to fill the latter need with current Michigan commit Blake Countess, a U.S. Army All-American Bowl participant from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Maryland. Despite attempts by Brady Hoke and the new Wolverine coaching staff to dissuade him, Countess recently took a visit to Penn State.
Nittany Lion assistant coach Larry Johnson made an in-home visit with Countess on Thursday. Despite public comments from Countess's father that appeared to have the cornerback back with the Wolverines, it looks like Penn State is still in the mix.
"He spent the weekend with [former Good Counsel teammate and current Nittany Lion cornerback] Mike Wallace and seemed to hit it off with Larry Johnson,'' James said. "I don't know if he's as solid to Michigan as everyone thought he was.''
Penn State also made a scholarship offer last week to Akise Teague, Ohio's 2010 Mr. Football from Youngstown Ursuline, Darryl Clark's alma mater. Teague has committed to Cincinnati but is at least considering making a visit to Penn State. However, most believe he'd prefer to play running back, and there's speculation that the Lions might be looking at the 5-foot-10, 180-pounder for the secondary.
Four other Ohio players are on Penn State's radar, too, all from the traditional Ohio State stronghold of Glenville High School. Defensive lineman/linebacker Andre Sturdivant and receiver Shane Wynn visited last week, and blue-chip offensive lineman Aundrey Walker and linebacker Frank Clark are scheduled to be in next week.
James has doubts the Walker and Clark visits will take place - Walker is considered a heavy Ohio State lean - and thinks the Lions have cooled on the 5-8 Wynn, leaving Sturdivant as the best possibility to become a Lion.
James also addressed the recruiting saga of Ishaq Williams, the highly ranked defensive end from New York City who cancelled a visit to Penn State and committed to Notre Dame after an Irish coach visited him at 4:30 a.m.
While it was a big loss for the Lions, James did not think it was as damaging as it looked on the surface.
"I don't think they ever felt for sure they had him, and I don't think they were ever crushed they didn't get him,'' James said. "They already had a lot of good defensive ends in this class. They just got Barnes the other day.''
Signing day is Feb. 2.

"Storytelling has been around since the start of Mankind. Storytelling was the basic communicational strategy through which culture, traditions, mores, ways of life and early literature was transmitted from one generation to the other. With the advent of internet and web technologies, storytelling has got some new and wider dimensions. The journey of storytelling from its early beginnings to its actual state is the subject of this wonderful graphic below. It documents the major periods and forms of storytelling that was pervasive during each era. It is really amazing to take a pause and take a look back into history to see how storytelling has evolved to be what it is now. Enjoy"

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - More than 2,500 people are expected to attend the Grandville High School RoboDawgs 8th Annual Regional Lego League Robotics Tournament on Saturday, Nov 23.
Lego League introduces elementary and middle school students to real-world engineering challenges by building Lego-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. Grandville has the largest Lego League program in the state.
"Robotics is a fun! " said Doug Hepfer, Robodawgs coach, about its growing popularity. "Creating and building things that carry out missions on their own is fascinating for kids and it exposes them to many concepts and technologies that will be common in the future."
The regional qualifying tournament will bring together 44 teams from public and private schools from across Michigan. Besides Grandville, the Kent and Ottawa county school districts participating include: Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Jenison, and Allendale.
Each year there is a new Lego League Challenge and this year everything is focused on Nature's Fury.
"In the 2013 Nature's Fury Challenge, teams of elementary and middle school students explore the awe-inspiring storms, quakes, waves and more that we call natural disasters," according to Hepfer. "Teams discovered what can be done when intense natural events meet the places people live, work, and play."
The teams of fourth through eighth grade students will compete for the right to advance to the Michigan State Tournament in December. Teams will bring student-built robots to compete on the "Nature's Fury" playing field.
Teams robots and programming will be reviewed by technical judges. Students will make research presentations and compete in challenges designed to test their teamwork.
Hepfer said the growth in the Lego League in West Michigan is due to the elementary program development. He credits Grandville for growing the program, having seeded teams in dozens of West Michigan schools over the last eight years.
The tournament begins at 9 a.m. at the high school, located at 4700 Canal Ave. SW. The robot competition and judging will take place through 2:30 p.m.

Gents take sting out of Yellow Jackets
CROWLEY – Some things are better left unsaid.
At least that the case for Iowa coach David Miller, who was overheard saying Wednesday after a 14-0 jayvee loss to Crowley High that his Yellow Jackets were going to score 80 points on the Gents if the opportunity arose.
Those words got back to the Gents on Thursday and they came back to haunt Miller and the Yellow Jackets on Friday.
Motivated by the incendiary comments, Crowley's defensive unit responded with one of their best performances in years, holding Iowa's potent offense to just 76 total yards and no points as the Gents shocked the 13th-ranked Yellow Jackets, 12-0, at Gardiner Memorial Stadium.
It was a humbling experience for the Yellow Jackets, who had scored 41 points against Jena a week earlier and had rung up 45 points against the Gents in 2007.
"Our kids come out to work everyday and for somebody to say that they are going to put 80 on us, those kids took that personally," said CHS defensive coordinator Cedric Figaro following the contest. "Our kids came out here and performed tonight. They did what we asked them to do, what the game plan called for, and we got a goose egg."
The victory avenged last year's 45-8 loss to the Yellow Jackets and it sent the Gents to a perfect 2-0 on the season.
"This is kind of a benchmark where both programs are today as compared to last year at this time," said CHS head coach Tommy Tate. "We really didn't show up last year when we played them and I think everybody on this team realized that. It was a blowout and they deserved it.
"They were a very good football team that night and we weren't. Tonight, I thought we were a good football team and, you know, we were good enough to win."
The Gents' defense was stellar all night, recording numerous sacks while also breaking up a number of pass attempts, especially late in the game when the Yellow Jackets were forced to go to the air.
In fact, in the fourth quarter alone, the Gents broke up nine passes and picked off backup quarterback Gene Pete twice. Brandon Harmon had an interception early in the quarter before Troy Wilridge sealed the shutout by picking off a pass with three seconds remaining in the contest.
"We challenged them and they stepped up to the challenge," said Figaro of his secondary. "We knew that this team (Iowa) had four receivers that are solid, quality receivers and our kids stepped up to the challenge."
Offensively, the Gents got it done despite posting just 153 total yards - 103 of that in the first half.
"It was kind of one of those field position games where you get a team backed up, you try and keep them backed up and, hopefully, you get a score," said Tate. "Iowa just all out came out and blitzed. They knew we were trying to run the football and they did a lot of good run blitzes and made it hard for us to move it running the football."
Crowley's first and only touchdown occurred on the Gents' opening drive.
On fourth-and-long, Iowa was flagged for roughing the punter, giving the Gents a fresh set of downs at the IHS 29-yard line. Five straight runs by Josh Citizen got the ball inside the 10 before Dexter Scott hit Josh Thomas for an 8-yard scoring strike. Craig Escarra's extra point gave the locals a 7-0 advantage with 2:08 remaining in the opening quarter.
Escarra added to the Gents' lead in the second quarter when he connected on a 23-yard field goal to up the score to 10-0.
The Gents posted their final points in the third quarter when the Yellow Jackets were attempting to punt from their own end zone. Casey Mayfield broke around the corner and blocked the punt, knocking it out of the end zone for a safety.
Citizen was the Gents' leading rusher, gaining 61 yards on 21 carries while Scott picked up 55 yards on 13 attempts.
Scott also completed three passes for 37 yards. He hit Keith Pierson twice for 30 yards and Thomas once for seven.
The victory was bittersweet for the Gents, who had three players suffer injuries. Running back Steven Boulet left the game early in the first quarter with an apparent knee injury; Mayfield was lifted with a shoulder injury, and Jeffery Trahan left the field with what appeared to be a twisted ankle.
"You know, this time of year you start to get that (injuries)," said Tate. "You've got to get them well. That's all part of the training and hopefully these guys will bounce back and be ready to go next Friday."

If you could buy good health, would you?
Consider that the next time you pass by the wall of precut and prewashed vegetables at your grocer. You might balk at their steep prices, but if convenience is what it takes to get you eating more produce, it might be worth the cost.
The reality is, most Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. For many, it's a time thing. At the end of a long day, many of us can't face all the washing, trimming, peeling and cutting that even a simple salad requires. Fortunately, prepared produce have reduced this drudgery to a matter of simply opening bags.
They also have a freshness advantage. State-of-the-art packaging allows bagged produce to continue to "breathe," preventing decay.
Shredded broccoli with indian spices
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon turmeric
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 cups broccoli coleslaw
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add cumin seeds, turmeric and cayenne pepper and cook until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
Stir in the broccoli slaw, lemon juice and water. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. During cooking, add water if necessary to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper.

There are heron all over that joint. I could literally see four in one single stretch between the 2nd and 4th deflector last night. I don't typically see them standing in water though, usually in trees or on rocks. I don't think they like getting their feet wet. . . . lol. I guess they are having a field day right now with the incredibly low water levels. Easy pickings. Too bad something can't be done about the heron, but my guess is they are probably represented by Heron Unlimited.
Based upon the temps I have taken the last couple of weeks, Cacoosing impact is practically lost by the first riffle after the Cacoosing slick pool. Last night I had 73.1 at Grings Mill Park below Red Bridge, 72.9 at poachers hole below 222/rtnw and 72.3 at the basin well above first deflector. I was surprised that the water variance was so minor given how hot and sunny it was plus the incredibly slow moving/shallow water.
The holding water below Cacoosing is better than above, and the water in the ATW is much better than either of the aforementioned. However, Jay's experience of catching more fish through Palisades/water works is often cited by many anglers. Quite frankly, that whole creek is packed with fish. Think about the shear number of fish that you see being caught every morning/evening. There are folks that say the fishing through the deflectors is great, but when you look at that water . . . yikes. Other than the deflectors themselves and the few trees laying in the water, there is little holding water up there. But wait until evening and the surface explodes. Again, it will be interesting to see how the adult stocking makes it through the Summer. If they could get a 20 - 25% holdover rate, stock it in the Fall and Spring, then Spring 2011 would just be nuts with numbers and size. It is well documented that Tully fish grow like crazy IF they survive.

I think the cool water is a small part of it, but the cover, oxygen and depth of the water really increase around the overpass. I can't imagine the cooling effect of the Cacoosing lasts more than a couple hundred yards unless they cut the gates to little more than a trickle.

There was much better holding water up there (the deflectors) before the summer of 2003. The high water wiped most of the habitat out up that way, IMO. The erosion was incredible.

Like Jeff said, the landscape upstream from the stairs at the water works is pretty ugly. Not much there. Below Cacoosing, the habitat is much, much better. If they could get some bank work and cover put in between Rebers and Cacoosing, that could be improved and wouldn't be as hard to access as above the water works section.
I hooked my biggest fish ever right below the steps at the water works 3-4 yrs ago. I was fishing for a 16-18" brown that I could see sitting on the bottom nymphing. After pounding him for 20 minutes, a rainbow came out of nowhere and grabbed my caddis larva. The run that followed equaled anything I've ever seen. He ran upstream 50 yds in 2-3 seconds! the line came off of my reel so fast that it was a high pitched whine and backing poured onto the water in front of me. Result, giant tangle and lost fish. The guy fishing 20 yds to my left yelled "Was that the big rainbow you had hooked? If it was, I landed him last week and he's a shade over 24". The water is only 18" deep and I never saw him to begin with. I don't see how they survive in there but I'd believe there's some fish in the 20-24" range.
Last week, I lost a fly in a heron that snuck up behind me and go a backcast in the head. :)

I have a similar story from about 4 years ago. Weird. Same spot and everything. A fish slurped my fly and took off downstream. He was headed for the next fisherman down that way, and I tried to put the brakes on. It broke me off pretty easily.
I always wondered...
I caught quite a few 16" or so fish in there. I used to go catch them in the middle of the day on bright days. Usually the only anglers there were busy eating lunch at their cars. There was always a flurry of activity, once they got a few minutes peace from the constant line of a dozen fisherman.

Jay is correct, my implication was that Cacoosing adds cold water that allows fish in that area and below to hold over better. I was not saying that the water temperature in any way affects herons.
I haven't been down there much this year, so I'll trust the temp readings that were given. I took plenty of readings last year.
#1: The waters of the Cacoosing and the Tully do not mix very well for at least several hundred yards. One side of the Tully will be significantly colder than the other. The cold side is shallow and flat except for right at the PaperMill. But yes, when the water gets into the mid-70's elsewhere, all of the cold areas are full of trout.
#2: Even if the effect doesn't last for more than several hundred yards, thats quite a thermal refuge that can hold a lot of fish. Those fish will spread out again come fall, and most will go down.
This, IMO, is why there are more holdovers below than above, which by the way, my observations mirror yours. That said, the fishing for this year's fish is just fine anywhere, until summer's water temps do them in, and its stocked in the fall too.
As far as holding water. Waterworks is quite frankly poor water, but its stocked heavy and thats all that matters anymore. Rebers is alright, refrigerator hole is alright, papermill is pretty good, etc. But its telling that only the name pools offer anything as far as holding water. And none of them hold a candle to what's below Gring's Mill, thats the best water on the stream. But of course, holding water is only part of the equation. Water temp, regulations, and where they stock can't be removed from a discussion on what areas fish the best at certain times.

Ok I normally do not post much here but why is there a problem with the Tully and the people that fish there?
Most of the time I go for the Trico hatch it has been crowded. I would say I see the majority of the Fisherman are above Reber's bridge and a lot down stream from the bridge. I would say I see 3 or 4 fisherman at the Refrig pool but not overly crowded there.
This year so far the Tully does not seam to be overly crowded. Most of the time I go on Saturday mornings early and I only stay until 10 or 11 am.
This year has started out better for me in terms of catching at least some Trout. Some days are much better.
Sorry if some people are not happy with the Tully but then you do not have to fish there.

Everybody seems to congregate at the typical Tully holes. Fish upstream and downstream of those well known areas and tell me what you see and catch.

I cruised by the lower portion of the DH Area on Sunday 6/20 at 9:30 AM...Cacoosing to the Covered Bridge...and saw only one angler below Cacoosing and one car at the Road to Nowhere. I guess everyone else had left and the trico action was over for the day. I continued downstream to the "bait area" and had a good stretch to myself. Caught 9 in 1.5 hr. on nymphs. Why so many anglers dwell on the "typical Tully holes" mentioned by Ron above when they could be having fun in the "fished out" bait areas there (on the Tully) or on other streams always makes me wonder about special reg guys. They go to crowded stretches and then turn around and complain about the crowds when they could be having a blast on untold numbers of other stocked streams with no anglers in sight. The Tully can't be the only larger stream in Berks with a Trico hatch and, in fact, I know that it isn't.

Spot Burning the ATW! Spot Burning the ATW! Just kidding Mike.
Here's a newbie tully fisherman's take on the tully:
I remember reading over the past year plus reports on the tully and how bad it sucked and the waste of a time it is to even visit, for trout. Mind you I live 35 minutes from the paper mill and refused to visit it. I was there last Thursday for the first time ever and only had a chance to fish above Cacoosing in the slow water and landed one fat 14" (approx) brown. With some nudging from ours truly Sight Nymph I headed back there Sat with him and fished right in front of Cacoosing with him and some other trico guru and we all had a great time.
Bottom line the tully forces you to
A.) Change flies
B.) Get near perfect drifts.
Can't most of us use that kinda practice. I'm goin out on a limb here but I'll bet that stream taught JayL quite a bit about FF and I know it could teach many more if you let it.

You are absolutely correct in your implication that the Tully is no joke. I have gone and really flopped at the Tully and then other times I have some of the best times fishing I have ever had.

There is one simple reason for all the trash talk about the Tully. It is very challenging to fish. If you aren't changing flys or getting a good drift or matching the hatch it is very easy to get skunked! Yes it does get crowded at the honey holes but there is plenty of other water to fish. I have always said if you can consistently catch trout on the Tully you can fish anywhere.

I disagree.
I have trashed talked the Tully not based on how it fishes but rather its ability to get warm. The Tully is not a real trout stream or tail water for that matter. It used to be better, and now it is not as good. I donot know why it is not as good as years past but its just not.
I have caught fish in the Tully and do not find it that hard to catch fish there. If your techniques are correct you will. It is rather hard to spook a fish on the Tully, which is why I find it easy.
Now I have always said that if you can catch fish in the Letort, then you can catch fish anywhere. Not everyone that can catch fish in the Tully can catch them in the Letort.

The '80s dance duo Kon Kan included members Barry Harris (vocals, keys, guitar) and Kevin Wynne (vocals). The group took their name from the phrase "Can Con" (short for "Canadian Content"), which is the name of a rule that enforces Canadian radio station to play at least 30 percent music from musicians from Canada. It was Kon Kan's sophomore album, Move to Move, which spawned a number 15 hit with the single "I Beg Your Pardon," which included a few lines from a previous song, Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden." Harris and Wynne followed it up with a few more singles, including "Harry Houdini" and "Puss N' Boots/These Boots (Are Made for Walkin')," the latter of which featured samples from both Led Zeppelin's "The Immigrant Song" and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walking."
Wynne left Kon Kan shortly thereafter, but Harris retained the Kon Kan name and carried on, issuing such further albums as 1990's Syntonic and 1993's Vida! Harris then turned his attention to producing other dance outfits, including singer Kim Esty (who sang backup on Kon Kan's "I Beg Your Pardon"), Top Kat, Outta Control, Thunderpuss 2000, and Killer Bunnies. Harris has also released his own solo singles in the late '90s, including "Funk Like Dat" and "Why'd Ya Let Her."

Bronwyn's ThoughtsBy bronwyn
I have been looking for nut free options for all kinds of dishes lately.
Nut milks are a staple in my diet, so I created this seed/grain based milk as an alternative.
This is a really easy, super filling, and very satisfying recipe. A good breakfast or dessert when you're craving something sweet.
If you don't eat seeds, I assume this would be fine without the hemp. Also, if you don't want to indulge in your cacao craving, enjoy without it.

i am new to raw...do you need certain type of oats to make this? also..where do you get hemp seeds..can't find them in 2 of my regular health food stores. Sounds delicious as a breakfast ;)
I have been looking for an oat mylk recipe. please share, and this looks great!
Thanks everyone. springleaf: Yes, the oats can definitely be soaked to reduce blending time, but i prefer to not soak them. smiller, what is your oat milk recipe? that sounds like something i would love to try too.
smiller, oat milk? would you give me the recipe? I love oats, and so does my son.
This looks tasty. Can you soak the oaks to reduce blending time?
ooo! I want to try this...I made my first batch of oat milk the other day and added a teensy bit of maple syrup. It is delightful!
hey beany, straining is not needed. i noted to blend for a long time, it seems to do the trick. hope you enjoy! yeah the cacao can be a little intense sometimes. i love it though :)
oh thank you. Another grain recipe grrrreat.Think i will leave out the cacao, the other night I used cacao for a pudding and I was bouncing off the walls....Hey, I see you didnt strain it. Not needed?

In the course of the study of hazards to the skin in the canning industry of California we came across a number of cases of dermatitis diagnosed by the local physicians as "can poisoning." We were puzzled by the term, not knowing whether it meant that the workers were affected with dermatitis from the contents of the can or from some other substance with which they came in contact during the process of filling the cans. It never occurred to us that the condition might come from new, unused tin cans. However, while making studies in a number of canneries, we found that the workers engaged in removing the new, unused tin cans from the freight cars and storing them in large storage rooms and then again removing them from the storage rooms to the traveling belts from which they are filled suffered from a dermatitis located principally in the

14 YO neutered male, well controlled diabetic, DSH cat diagnosed
This answer was rated:
14 YO neutered male, well controlled diabetic, DSH cat diagnosed with chyloabdomen and chylothorax. Primary source is abdomen with back up into thorax. Chyle tested (no indication of cancer cells), x-rays taken, CBC (pancreas 7.6), ultrasound and echocardiogram performed between 9/3 and 9/5. Everything is clear so diagnosed as idiopathic. To date, have removed 1450 ml of chyle from abdomen (no labored breathing so none taken off of thorax). He lost almost 3 lbs with that removal (17.1# XXXXX 14.36). Met with surgeon on 9/10 and have surgery scheduled for 9/13 but we are second guessing our decision. Cat was showing signs of decreased appetite and now has gone off food completely even with a dose of mirtazapine. We are syringe feeding since 9/8. Has been on Denamarin since fall of 2012 for pancreas support. Started Rutin on 9/6. Tried to switch to a low fat diet but that was when appetite was waning. Held off on steroids in the event we want to pursue surgery. Will have a feeding tube put in on 9/13 at a minimum if we don't do surgery. Would then start steroids if we opt to cancel surgery. Are we being selfish by putting him through such an invasive surgery? He is super sweet and charms the entire vet clinic but we can see he is losing steam and have to decide on a course of action soon.

Hi there,
I'm so sorry to hear that your cat isn't doing well. How sad to see such a well-loved and sweet cat having problems!
If you're absolutely sure that there's no underlying cause (heart failure or cancer), then I think that surgery is a reasonable option because in truly idiopathic cases, it resolves the fluid buildup 80% of the time. You have a decent chance of getting him more time with a good quality of life. However, I'd want to be very sure that there is no reason for his chylothorax. Tumors don't always exfoliate well into the fluid, and if there is fluid buildup, they can be hard to see on imaging or feel by palpation. And idiopathic chylothorax is less likely to show up in both body cavities than it is to show up in the chest alone. One thing I would consider is a CT scan prior to surgery-- this is more sensitive for finding hard-to-spot tumors than other imaging, and you might be able to do the CT and decide whether it's worthwhile to proceed to surgery.
I've never had a client regret a feeding tube in a cat. I'd really encourage you to proceed with that, especially since he's a diabetic. The feeding tube can help get him on a better nutritional plane and make recovery from surgery easier, and it can improve his quality of life if you choose medical management.
I don't think you'd be wrong to proceed with surgery if you're confident that the chylous effusion is idiopathic. I do think getting a little more information might be helpful in terms of knowing what results to expect from the surgery, and in knowing that the recovery time from surgery is worth the results you expect. 14 is a senior citizen in the cat world, but I've seen cats as old as 24 (albeit rarely). You've been very thorough thus far and you clearly care deeply about your cat. Medical management may make him feel better, but I would not expect steroids to resolve the fluid buildup. I think that if you do not elect surgery, you should expect that the care you're providing is palliative and that you may not have him for much longer. This is not a wrong decision, either-- he is a senior cat with multiple medical problems, and his recovery from surgery will be longer because of that. In short, I'd encourage you to get a CT. If it's clean, or if your surgeon is totally confident that there is no tumor without a CT, I'd recommend surgery. If not, I'd recommend medical management, but I'd expect him to continue to deteriorate.
I hope this is helpful. If so, please rate me positively, and don't hesitate to let me know how I can help further.

Thank you Dr.Taus. We are encouraged by your response. We heard the chylothorax surgery was about 80-100% effective when the pericardium is also removed. Our vet said the chyloabdomen is rare so they can't give specific odds. They estimated 50/50. They are planning to ablate the chylii cistern and then move to the thorax and ablate the duct and remove the pericardium sack. Their reports show the removal of that improves the odds. But adding in the abdomen is where the odds fall and that is what scares us. He is healthy in every other way. We have only had him 1 year and last fall I changed his diet to no dry food and only high protein, low carbs. It is through that regimen that we have gotten his diabetes well controlled. A fructoseimine test in early Aug was 295. Regardless of the big surgery we will be doing the feeding tube. We were seeking effectively a second opinion on the treatment path and you concurred with that so we appreciate your efforts. Thank you. Marc and Wendy Panaro (and Nelson)

Enterprises should include video in BYOD strategy
The growing use of mobile devices for work demands that businesses support video on such equipment for internal and external uses. However, mobility means that business consumers may sometimes find themselves using different devices in different places, sometimes on weak networks.
As a result, it is imperative for enterprises to plan for adaptive delivery that allows for variable bandwidth as well as allowing for time-shifted consumption, as users that rely on mobile devices will not always have sufficient access to network resources to consume video live.
To add to enterprises woes, developing and supporting new content management applications and uses is a daunting task for enterprises, which justifiably fear dissatisfaction and low adoption.
But the biggest challenge is heterogeneity, as it is predicted that by 2014, 90 percent of organizations will support corporate applications on a variety of personal devices, from conventional laptop PCs, media tablets and mobile phones to hybrid or other kinds of devices that have yet to be made widely available.
Additionally, by the end of 2016, it is expected 50 percent of content and collaboration initiatives will fail because of low levels of engagement with the information workers directly affected by them. There will be many aspects to this, including a failure to respect the importance of preferred devices for business consumers.
Even though mobile devices represent an inconvenient way to deliver video in many respects, they must be part of any enterprise BYOD strategy. As a result, companies must respond with strategies for supporting video on such equipment, whether it is owned by them or by their workers or customers.
Currently, enterprises have mainly relied on their enterprise video content management vendors to supply reliable facilities for managing video content in a way that results in interoperability. As a result, large-scale transcoding is beyond most companies without vendor support. So business must select vendors that support all the video formats the organization requires. Also enterprises should analyze viewership to determine what devices consumers are using, which are growing in usage, and which are declining.

New desktop technologies such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) are causing many to consider re-architecting their desktop infrastructure. In this session you will see the progression of the Thin Client, VDI and Remote Desktop architectures, clarify and uncover some Desktop TCO myths, by reviewing major analyst's opinions and their progression over time. We will then go over successful and not so successful desktop selection methods on which we have participated in real IT environments. Finally we will present the Microsoft desktop strategy that focuses on meeting desktop requirements based on roles / personas, rather than implying that one technology fits all. We will go over examples that illustrate when and how to use Presentation, Application, and HW Virtualization offerings, covering Remote Desktop Services, MS Application Virtualization, as well as VDI through Hyper V.

I commend Polly Schlaff for telling her story ("Safe Chemicals Act will save lives, protect the Great Lakes," May 6) about her husband's battle with a nongenetic form of cancer. Unfortunately, these types of cancers are becoming more widespread across Michigan and the country largely resulting from exposure to dangerous chemicals. Our nation's chemical regulatory system is broken. Out of the 80,000 chemicals in commerce only 200 have been evaluated for safety, and only five have been restricted. Our current system allows chemicals that have never been tested for health and safety to be manufactured into furniture, electronics, children's toys, and eventually they end up contaminating the Great Lakes.
Michiganders deserve a better system to ensure our children and families are protected. We are fortunate that the Safe Chemicals Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate last month. The Safe Chemicals Act would ensure chemicals are properly tested for health and safety before they enter the consumer market. In addition, it would prioritize chemicals of greatest threat and encourage safer alternatives. Improving how chemicals are regulated would make a huge difference in lowering the amount of preventable diseases like certain forms of cancer.
Tell Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Sen. Carl Levin to stand up for our health and our fresh water. Their support of the Safe Chemicals Act is needed to show the rest of the country that Michiganders are committed to protecting our Great Lakes.

Hello friends - I desire to use (2) 4002's in bridge mode, and protect the speakers with the XTi's inboard limiter at a threshold around 1800-2000 watts continuous. What is the corresponding coefficient within the menu for setting this limit?
Also, the manual states that both input channels must be fed, and then the signal is summed in bridge mode. Can I just feed one channel with signal, eg., channel one, and the bridge mode will still enact? Or, do I need a Y cable, as I am sending from stereo main outs and cannot merely run one side of the front of the house?

Dempster was traded from Chicago to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Christian Villanueva and right-handed pitcher Kyle Hendricks, each who were playing with the Rangers' Class-A farm affiliate.
Dempster, 35, posted a 2.25 ERA as a Cub in 2012. He was reportedly being pursued by Yankees, Braves, and Tigers, in addition to the Rangers.
The Cubs had originally arranged to send Dempster to the Braves last week, but he declined the trade utilizing his 10-and-5 rights.
The Rangers have acquired Dempster with knowledge that he is likely a rental. His contract is set to expire at the end of the current season.
