Things That Are Different Are Not The Same
"Things that are different are not the same." -- Lewis McClary
(Texas Chess Master).
Things that are similar can often be treated very similarly or exactly the same. However, it is at times important to recall that they are only similar, or are the same in only certain characteristics, and are not exactly the same.
We sometimes discover that "A is the same as B" maybe meaning that A equals B in some respect of current significance. We must keep in mind that A and B may differ in other respects, not currently significant to us, but which may be significant at some point.
A trivial observation but one that it sometimes helps to keep in mind.
Maybe trivial, but appearently the Java designers didn't make it, or why would they have put equals() on Object?
We have a saying, "They're different, so they're different." It's the principle that explains why a system that works fine here doesn't work so well there. When circumstances are different, you have to assume that the differences won't affect the behavior of the system if you expect the behavior to be the same. Sometimes, that's a reasonable assumption, sometimes not. Sometimes it's a reasonable assumption, and still wrong. It's a saying that tempers optimism, which is often a good thing to have tempered. --

Employees meeting the minimum qualifications of the job should normally be paid up to 10 percent over the minimum of the pay range. However, pay rates for new employees possessing qualifications in excess of the minimum qualifications may be placed at pay rates above 10 percent over the minimum of the pay range, with the appropriate levels of approval.
When considering requests for new hire rates, the University will consider whether the salary rate allows sufficient room for growth and relationships to rates paid to similarly qualified or more experienced employees in the job. External salary survey data may be considered, if available.
In establishing new hire rates, the University will continue to comply with all federal and state rules and regulations. This includes the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which prohibits pay differentials on jobs that are essentially equal in terms of skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions, except when these are the result of a bona fide seniority or merit system, or any other job-related factor other than sex.
When a candidate for a position demonstrates that he or she will meet the job qualifications within six (6) months of hire, and when the employing department has reason to believe the applicant will become a valued employee, provisional employment may be considered. The hiring of such an individual requires approval of the appropriate vice president and the Director of Human Resources. The initial hire rate will be five percent (5%) below the minimum of the salary range for the position. At the completion of the six-month probationary period, and with a satisfactory performance evaluation, the provisional employee will receive an increase in pay to the minimum of the pay range. The hiring unit is responsible for ensuring the evaluation and salary increase are processed.
Prairie View A&M University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities. Ms. Alexia Taylor, Title IX Coordinator, has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the non-discrimination policies.
Ms. Taylor can be reached at P.O. Box 519; MS 1100 A.I Thomas Bldg. Suite 102 Prairie View, Texas 77446 or by calling 936-261-2123.

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

I Hate LettuceDanielle
Hate is such a strong word, but it is the feeling I am starting to have towards lettuce, anything green, healthy, low carb, and basically everything I need to be eating right now to prevent gestational diabetes again.
With my youngest son who was born in May of 2009, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, although I still to this day do not believe I had it, simply because of the blood sugar readings I had every time I tested my sugar after meals. It simply did not make sense to me.
This time around my midwife and I came to the conclusion that we should take preventative measures with my diet, and essentially, I have been eating like a rabbit with the occasional cheat here and there.
Right before Christmas I had the 1 hour glucose test around 17 weeks to check for the first time, and I passed with flying colors. I was kind of shocked, but I was happy. I have to go again for 28 weeks, which is only a short four weeks from now to take the 1 hour test over again. I am horrified again. Not that I will have to take my blood sugar 4 times a day again, or exclude even more foods from my diet… but I just don't want to take the stupid test. The drink is gross, I barely kept it down last time. It is virtually medieval torture. The three hour test… well I won't even get into that.
My other fear is the amount of appointments that will increase in the case I do have to go to the Endocrinologist again. With my youngest son, my husband was home from work laid off, so the additional two appointments a month was something that we could manage, and he often came with me, with our oldest son in tow. But two kids, no husband, and 3 appointments a month that will steadily increase in my last trimester as I start to go twice a month to my midwife, and then once a week… I may prematurely lose my sanity.
I can't wait til I am just not pregnant anymore so I can dig into a giant ice cream sundae, a glass of wine, and one of those huge edible arrangement fruit baskets. That would make Danielle a happy woman…

After years of partisan bickering that has brought our government to a dysfunctional standoff, Congressional Republicans and Democrats this week actually found something they could agree on.
The House of Representatives voted 376-76 and the Senate voted 97-1 to override President Barack Obama's veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act.
The vote gives families of Sept. 11, 2001, victims and future victims of terror acts the right to sue the foreign governments responsible for sponsoring the terrorism.

Harry Jackson: Blacks and Hispanics Should Stop Complaining about Racism and Work with White Republicans
SUBMITTED BY: Brian Tashman, Wednesday 09/19/2012, 1:40pm
During his "Pray for America" speech at the Christian Broadcasting Network, Harry Jackson said that racial minorities are hurting themselves and Christianity by supporting Democrats instead of helping white Republicans. "Democrats ask black and Hispanic Christians to violate their Bible, many folk just go along because they feel like they have no choice" since they live on the "Democrat plantation," Jackson explained, and think of Republicans as "racist."

While talking with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network at the Republican National Convention, Newt Gingrich demanded that President Obama release his college application, senior paper, and other records. "What I said to the conservative movement is we know so little about this President that it's perfectly reasonable for conservative activists to ask lots of questions: where's his senior paper at Columbia? Where's his application to go to Columbia? All sorts of stuff that we don't know." Gingrich claimed, "In some ways we know less about... MORE >

Lou Engle Calls for Religious Right to Channel Confederate Generals to 'Restrain' the 'Homosexual Agenda'

During his speech at the Christian Broadcasting Network's "Week of Prayer" yesterday, Lou Engle asked for support of his upcoming The Call: Virginia prayer rally, saying that Virginia should fight back against Washington D.C., just as Confederate generals Robert E.

Search and rescue crews try to determine if raft was one reported
Published 8:03 PM CDT Aug 10, 2013
Franklin County search and rescue crews are trying to determine if an out-of-control raft has been found.
The sheriff's department received calls on Saturday saying a man and small children were on the Mulberry River on a blue raft.
Fred Mullin of Franklin County Emergency Management said they found a red raft with teens. They believe this is the raft they were searching for, but wanted to make sure.
Mullin said the calls came after a group was turned away from Turner Bend on the river.

At this point we're using a version that's a couple of years old because

Males have been denied inclusion in the Australian Federal Government's national immunisation program to prevent cervical cancer.
Vaccine maker, CSL requested to have males aged 12-13 years added to the free vaccination program, which was made free to all teenage girls and women aged up to 26 in 2007. The submission was rejected by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee "because of unacceptably high and uncertain cost-effectiveness" - according to minutes from PBAC meeting, March 2011.
The drug is administered to prevent four strains of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) that cause genital warts and pre-cancerous lesions in both men and women. A 2008 Government study revealed Gardasil stopped HPV-related genital warts in 90 per cent of cases.
HPV infections do not just effect women, but can induce penile, anal and oral cancers in men. Homosexual males are also at high risk of contracting the disease, passing the infection from men to men. Gardasil vaccine has proven to be highly effective in immunising against genital warts and preventing male cancers.
Immunising males and females would have the greatest impact on the HPV disease, a CSL spokesperson has stated.
CSL continues to fight to make the vaccine available to men.

Taking LO to the ER will only put her in contact with people who are actually very sick. Call your ped's office first, they should have a help line of some sort that will answer.

STEP ASIDE, Carl Lewis. You, too, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Al Oerter.
Meet Kimberly Rhode, the first American with individual medals in five straight Olympics, after a golden, record-setting, nearly perfect performance.
Rhode won the women's skeet shooting Sunday, tying a world record and setting the Olympic mark with 99 points - meaning she missed once in 100 shots. She was eight targets better than silver medalist Wei Ning of China and nine better than Slovakia's Danka Bartekova.
Rhode won in double trap at Atlanta as a teenager in 1996, took bronze in that event 4 years later at Sydney, reclaimed the gold at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008.

INWOOD - Musselman coach Amanda Burge saw a little bit of everything during the Applemen's season-opener against Washington Tuesday night.
She saw some good things out of her team, but she also saw some not so good things - all expected for the first game of the year.
What matters the most, though, is that she saw her team come away with a 44-37 win over the Patriots in the second of two games at Cline Court to open the season.

Washington's Alycia Lambert attempts to shoot over Musselman's Stacey Potter. (Journal photo by Ron Agnir)
"My first impression is that we played well in spurts, but it definitely wasn't a complete game," Burge said. "They probably had some first-game jitters, but overall, they played hard and did pretty well. It's a win, and we'll take it and move on."
It was a similar situation for Washington coach Charity Huff. Even though her team took the loss, she saw some things that the Patriots can build on.
"This game was definitely a good showing for what we need to work on," Huff said. "We need to box out better and make our layups, but I thought for the first game, they played pretty well.
"The opportunities (to score) were there, we just couldn't finish like we needed to. It's great that we're creating those opportunities, but we need to learn how to finish. I thought we executed our offense pretty well."
Another common denominator for both teams was turnovers - Washington unofficially had 20 turnovers and Musselman 25.
Still, the Applemen found a way to break through, and they used a couple of runs to push ahead, a few of the good moments Burge was looking for.
Down 11-7 after the first quarter, Musselman put things together in the second frame to take the lead for good. With three straight baskets -two by Stacey Potter and one by Brianna Caison - the Applemen grabbed a 13-11 lead.
Later in the quarter, with the game tied at 16 after a bucket inside by the Patriots' Kylie Nelson, Musselman finished the first half on a 7-1 run to take a 23-17 advantage into halftime. Caison started the run with a 3-pointer from straight on, then Tianna Venable and Andrea Zellman scored in transition to give the Applemen a six-point lead.
"That second quarter really hurt us," Huff said.
Musselman led the entire second half, but the advantage was never too comfortable as turnovers hindered the Applemen from extending the lead to beyond 10.
"They were a little amped up," Burge said. "We went to pass and weren't looking at where we were passing. It's a matter of taking the time to see what the options are, knowing what personnel is on the floor. We want to play fast, but we have to do it right."
Washington battled back in the fourth quarter, cutting its deficit to four points on two separate occasions - at 34-30 when Kirsten Doleman converted a three-point play and at 36-32 on a rebound and putback by Kenya Dozier.
Down the stretch though, Caison converted 8 of 10 free throws to ice the game for Musselman.
Caison led all scorers with 24 points. Washington was led by Morgan Adams with 12 points.

Serious Republicans
I was wondering if, after this sad stunt, the Tea Party still had any supporters left? Well, guess they are all in Aiken. Ask yourself if you would rather starve to pay out-of-pocket expenses or go without insurance than being able to finally pay for one. May God always bless you and your family for that to never happen. Serious Republicans will agree on this one.
Gem town
You occasionally get stuck behind a car not doing 55 mph, which may delay you 30 seconds to the end of the parkway. Is this reason to waste money on widening a road when they are talking about raising the tax on gas to maintain all the roads in poor repair in the county? Our elected officials should be fired. They need to get their priorities in order and fix things that need fixing and not destroy others that make Aiken the gem town it is.
Debt will get bigger
A major part of government spending is Social Security and Medicare. Most folks will draw out far more than they ever paid in. So why is everyone so enraged when the national debt increases? It doesn't matter who is in power, unless more taxes are collected the debt will get bigger.

Dates and Anniversaries
Fleming Moses Carter 1854-1911
At the southernmost part of the Great Valley of Virginia lies the quiet old village of Fincastle, seat of Botetourt County. The history of Botetourt dates back more than two hundred years to 1769. As one of the earliest settlements west of the Blue Ridge, the town of Fincastle was founded in 1772.
Fincastle was one of the first communities in the vastly sprawling area of newly formed Botetourt County that included all of Kentucky, part of Ohio, most of Indiana and Illinois, and stretched as far as the Mississippi River. The settlement, first known as Miller's Mill, was soon to be named Fincastle and was chosen as the county seat of Botetourt. Fincastle was far more than just a county seat in those days; it was virtually the western capitol of Virginia. Through it went many of the pioneers moving west. Fincastle was the last place where adequate supplies could be purchased before the great plunge into the wilderness and the expansive, mostly unknown territory of the western frontier.
Historic Fincastle Today
Fincastle has been the seat for Botetourt County since the town's founding by the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1772. It is currently a town of about 350 people and is a living museum of American architecture from the late 1770's. Both the county courthouse and the museum are filled with records of families who migrated through the Shenandoah Valley on their way south and west. The center of town, Courthouse Square, contains the famous courthouse reportedly designed by Thomas Jefferson. It is only one of many contributing buildings to the Historic District that has both state and national historic places recognition.
Henry Montgomery
The grandson of a Virginia frontiersman, Henry Montgomery is thought to have been born in either Rockbridge or Botetourt County Virginia in 1837. Traditional family history claims this branch of the Montgomery family may have common ancestors among the Monacan or Cherokee native American Indian tribes. Henry and his wife, Rebecca Ann Sorrell Montgomery, were married in Rockbridge County on February 18, 1861 just prior to the beginning of the American Civil War. They raised a family of twelve children in what was at that time a very sparsely populated Allegheny Mountains area of western Virginia. Henry is consistently listed on United States census records as a farmer. Details of Henry's family connection with other more well known Montgomery families in the Rockbridge Botetourt vicinity of Virginia has not currently been well documented. Henry Montgomery died in 1895 from complications of an eye injury he received during his military service. Henry's wife Rebecca passed from this life on June 19, 1929 in Botetourt County, Virginia not far from the place where she was born. Henry is buried at Mount Joy Cemetery in Botetourt. Rebecca is buried at Wesley Chapel Cemetery, also in Botetourt.

Family History
Samuel W Montgomery and Elizabeth Bowman, Franklin County, Virginia
For nearly twenty years I have delved into researching the families of Botetourt, Virginia. Much of this time involved the quest for further information on my Montgomery line. Over the past two years my efforts have been concentrated on discovering all I could about Samuel W Montgomery of Franklin County, Virginia because my research had led me to believe my own line was closely related to the Montgomerys of Franklin County.
As most good researchers know, LDS sites, like Ancestry, Family Search, RootsWeb, etc., will accept and publish any genealogy file which is uploaded to their system by members. Personal data files should only be considered a starting point for further research and often do not offer the necessary source citations to track back where the information actually came from.
Every published account of the Montgomerys of Franklin County I have seen can eventually be traced back to a report delivered to a Montgomery family reunion at the farm of Thomas Franklin Montgomery in Franklin County, Virginia by Rebecca Montgomery Maiden in 1934. Her work, of which I have a copy, is completely unsourced. Though it is a beginners tool for generations following Samuel and Elizabeth Bowman Montgomery, it cannot in any conceivable way be considered a definitive source of information regarding the parentage of Samuel Montgomery. Nor does it offer any source for the existence of more than a single spouse for Samuel. Mrs. Maiden's work was later plagiarized in published accounts, the most notable a book garnering the name of a noted historian, Marshall Wingfield, which consisted of his research papers printed posthumously by friends of his widow. In this book, titled "Pioneer Families of Franklin County Virginia", portions of Mrs. Maiden's report are presented practically word for word.
Beginning in 2009 I set about gathering every original piece of source material I could find about Samuel Montgomery and Elizabeth Bowman. Here is what I know as fact.
Samuel W Montgomery was born in Virginia sometime between 1771 and 1793. I think 1779 may well be an accurate guess. He married Elizabeth Bowman at Franklin County, Virginia 30 September 1805. This is the date of the Marriage Bond. He was recorded on the 1810 through 1860 federal census records of Franklin County, Virginia. His household never included any children which cannot be accounted for other than two daughters for which names have not been positively verified. Some claim these daughters were named Delilah and Annie. I have found nothing to proof their names. His known children - all named in his last will and testament - were John, Elizabeth, Samuel, James, Andrew, Joel, Hannah, Lydia, Eli and Sarah.
In determining Samuel's birth year the following information from federal census records must be taken into account:
Samuel W Montgomery birth range according to census records
1810 - birth between 1766 and 1784
1820 - birth between 1776 and 1794
1830 - birth between 1771 and 1780
1840 - birth between 1771 and 1780
1850 - age reported as 57 placing birth abt 1793
1860 - age reported as 81 placing birth abt 1779
Samuel W Montgomery wrote his last will and testament on 21 April 1857. All his children were named beneficiaries, with caveats extending through the life of his spouse, Elizabeth, and his unmarried daugher, Elizabeth. He named Jacob Flora Jr as executor. It was signed and sealed, then witnessed by John Jamerson [Jamison], Jacob Flora Jr, Richard C Drury, and Isreal Flora. Samuel's LW&T was presented and proven in Franklin County court on 5 November 1860. The Rev Mr Jacob Flora Jr having refused administration of the LW&T, Samuel's sons, Andrew Jackson and Joel assumed this responsibility after posting $3000 bond.
Samuel's widow, Elizabeth, lived until at least 17 June 1880 when she was recorded on the federal census record for Franklin County, resident in the household of her son Joel along with his family. Her age is noted as eighty-eight years.
In Rebecca Montgomery Maiden's report of 1934, she enumerates all the generations of Samuel and Elizabeth's offspring save one. The only detailed mention she gave to son Samuel was,
'Samuel, son of Samuel went to Southwest Virginia, then Illinois. No further information.'
Recently I have researched all Samuel Montgomerys born in Virginia from year 1800 to year 1820. I looked at every Samuel in Virginia and every Samuel in Illinois. After careful and considered evaluation I arrived at the conclusion that the only Samuel who fit the profile of this son Samuel, was Samuel Montgomery, born 1811, who resided all of his adult life in Botetourt County, Virginia. Using this information, my cousin, Margaret and I eventually contacted a 2nd great grandson of Samuel and Elizabeth who still lives in the area south of Boones Mill, Virginia where Samuel lived. His pedigree leading back to Samuel and Elizabeth is impeccable and fully proven. He agreed to submit yDNA samples to Family Tree DNA at our expense. The final results of the sixty-seven marker yDNA test revealed a near perfect match to our Montgomery yDNA. The only variation was on marker DYS640 where we varied by a single step. This marker, which is so far unique to the Botetourt family of Montgomerys, from a field of about one hundred J2 haplogroup Montgomerys, is thought by many to be a recent mutation, occurring in the past two or three generations.
My original research, in tandem with the yDNA results, have convinced me that the Botetourt Montgomerys are descendants of the Samuel mentioned in elder Samuel's LW&T.
Regarding the parents of Samuel Montgomery of Franklin County - Samuel is indicated on both the 1850 and 1860 federal census as born in Virginia. This is slightly ambiguous on the 1860 census, as the enumerator only indicated all on page were born in Virginia. Samuel's stated place of birth is completely unambiguous on the 1850 federal census where the enumerator placed the word "Virginia" next to Samuel's name.
It is widely reported that Samuel was born in Rockingham County, North Carolina of parents Samuel and Miss Wood Montgomery. This information also comes from Rebecca Montgomery Maiden's report. At the time of Samuel of Frankin's birth, Rockingham County may not have existed. Rockingham formed from Guilford County in 1785. Further, an examination of North Carolina tax and census records reveals no Montgomerys resided in Rockingham County until 1830. And no Samuel Montgomery resided in Guilford County, North Carolina, parent county of Rockingham, who would fit the profile for father of Samuel. At this time I think it best if his parents are stated as "UNKNOWN". Further research may eventually reveal Samuel's parentage.
The middle initial "W" is found on the LW&T of Samuel W Montgomery. Samuel had a grandson who was named Samuel Wood Montgomery. This Samuel Wood Montgomery was son of John J and Rebecca Naff Montgomery. John J Montgomery was eldest son of Samuel W and Elizabeth Bowman Montgomery.
Note that an Abraham Gossett is found in Franklin County, Virginia on the 1820 federal census. His household includes nine people total, including several young children. None of these children can be found in the household of Samuel and Elizabeth Montgomery of Franklin starting in 1830. All Montgomery children on later census records, including the two daughters whose names are uncertain but thought to be Delilah and Annie, can be identified by name.

Ethanol Subsidies Battle Heats Up Once More
Bernie Becker, The Hill
The back-and-forth between Sen. Tom Coburn and Grover Norquist over tax subsidies for ethanol – and, more broadly, the need for new tax revenue – is heating up once more.
Late this week, Coburn successfully pushed for a Tuesday vote on a measure to cut subsidies for ethanol, a proposal that the Oklahoma Republican and Norquist, the anti-tax crusader, feuded over earlier this year. . .

If there is one thing that the 2012 elections have had in abundance, it is confusion. If America is serious about free and fair democratic elections, there should be minimum national standards for voting.
It became apparent this year that different voter ID laws in different states are part of the problem. In the past two years, Republican state legislatures began enacting voter ID laws. They claimed the laws were needed because of in-person voter fraud.
There is little evidence to suggest that in-person voter impersonation is a problem. What we did see as Election Day moved closer was voter registration fraud.
Voter registration fraud has been discovered in five swing states in connection with the Republican National Committee, who paid Strategic Allied Consulting $3 million for their services.
"A GOP-backed consulting firm may have submitted "hundreds" of faked voter registration forms in Florida, according to the Florida Department of State," according to ABC News.
NBC News reported, "A campaign worker linked to a controversial Republican consulting firm has been arrested in Virginia and charged with throwing voter registration forms into a dumpster."
This type of fraud cannot be stopped by showing an ID at polling places and has clearly presented itself as more of an issue than in-person voter impersonation.
These problems create an urgent need for federal standards in voter registration.
Similar to the way Social Security numbers are issued, every citizen could be issued a voter registration number at birth, regardless of which state they are born in. When that person reaches the national voting age, a voting ID card could be issued.
No system is perfect, but a national standard is better than 50 different ways to achieve the same thing. It may also help deter those who might want to commit voter registration fraud.
Most Americans agree, voting is a fundamental right in a democracy. And in order for any democracy to survive, elections have to be free and fair.
In 2012, voter ID laws and early voting rights became a tool for voter suppression, and it is virtually impossible to sound nonpartisan on this issue because the changes were all made in states controlled by Republicans.
There is a reason for that.
In 2008, Barack Obama won the White House with a lot of votes from demographic groups that used early voting. Therefore the Republican logic was, if they can stop those people from voting, they have a better chance of winning.
Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, and dozens of other states, have all changed their rules by voter ID requirements, or by shortening or eliminating early voting access. Every single limit on voting in 2012 has been pushed by Republicans – and only Republicans.
In what is now a well-known YouTube video, Republican Mike Turzai actually admitted that the reason for Pennsylvania's new voter ID laws were to make it easier for Mitt Romney to win the traditionally blue state.
States have proven that they cannot be trusted to view elections as an American right, and not a tool for partisan manipulation of the voting process, particularly in light of 2012 voter suppression efforts, the effects of which may never be fully known.
This has got to stop.
National voting standards are common in other countries, so there is no excuse for the US to not catch up to the rest of the civilized world.
The federal government must set a uniform standard for early voting in all 50 states.
Problem solved.
Elections can't be controlled by one political party. And attempts by politicians to control the outcome of elections through unethical means, makes them traitors to the Constitution they vowed to defend.

FishOn! Northwestern Pennsylvania fishing report, May 31
Across the New York line, large walleye are hitting at a depth of 60 feet out of Barcelona. From the state line to Twenty Mile Creek, and off Freeport, big walleye are at 56 feet. At night, good catches of mixed sizes are coming out of 14 feet. In the Shades Beach area, walleye are coming out of water from 15 feet to 40 feet, shallow at night and deeper during daylight hours. Troll very slowly in shallow water near Walnut Creek at night. During the day, walleye fishing has been good down 20 feet to 25 feet over depths of 45 feet to 50 feet. Troll stick baits off planer boards in shallower water. Look for walleye from 25 feet to 30 feet off Elk Creek.
The boat launch at Elk Creek has been improved, and is now good for boats as large as 17 feet.
Perch fishing is good. Try 42 feet off the cribs. Go straight out of Walnut Creek into 37 feet for smaller perch, or go out to 51 feet to 52 feet for the big perch. Depths of 35 feet to 40 feet have been good for perch off Elk Creek. On the east side of Erie, perch are being caught in the range of 30 feet out to 45 feet off Shades Beach and off Four Mile Creek. Look for perch at 52 feet off the green fields and Freeport. A 141/8-inch perch was checked at East End Angler.
Smallmouth bass fishing got confused after the storm this week. There is a mud line out to about 40 feet in the North East area. When conditions are right, expect good bass fishing all along the east side from 15 feet to 30 feet. Anglers have been using crayfish, nightcrawlers and tube jigs.
Lake trout have moved outside the Mountain, and are now at 90 feet.
More channel catfish moved into lower Elk Creek. Also, channel cats have been caught from shore at Shades Beach using shrimp and nightcrawlers. A 32-inch channel catfish was caught at Shades Beach. Good numbers of smallmouth bass are also in Elk Creek.
Smallmouth bass fishing is still good in Presque Isle Bay on the flats. Smallmouth bass also are being caught from the North Pier using crayfish. Bluegill and crappie have been hitting in Misery Bay and near the Marina.
Channel catfish have been hitting very well at Pymatuning Lake. Walleye have been hitting from Snodgrass to Orchard Beach, and at Ohio Beach. A few walleye and crappie have been caught at the causeway. Walleye also can be caught now by jigging in weed beds.
Some very nice bluegill have been caught at Edinboro Lake, but crappie fishing has slowed.
At Lake Pleasant, anglers have been catching nice bluegill and trout. Other areas stocked trout lakes are giving up fair to good catches.
Bass fishing has taken the lead at Eaton Reservoir, though some anglers still are targeting crappie.
Bluegill have been making up the best part of the catch at Lake Wilhelm, along with crappie in the 6-inch to 12-inch class. Walleye fishing has been poor.
Bass are still on their beds at Chautauqua Lake. Some of the hottest action has been with bluegill as long as 10 inches. Use wax worms or red worms. White perch are hitting at Bemus Point, Cheney Point and Ball Creek, at Stowe. Use half of a nightcrawler on bottom. The best yellow perch fishing has been near Mayville. Find open pockets in weed beds at depths of 5 feet to 7 feet. Walleye fishing keeps getting better and better.

Critic's Choice
Uncompromising is the word for this crime drama, which dares to disclose information gradually and build momentum slowly as viewers take in the gritty Baltimore atmosphere.
The Wire's first season concerned a complex drug investigation that ended with a realistic whimper rather than a satisfying bang. Kingpin Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris) got by with a light sentence while Det. Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) was exiled to a police boat as punishment for his persistence. In the second-season premiere, Jimmy finds a dead woman floating in the harbor and port-authority officer Beatrice Russell (Amy Ryan) discovers 13 suffocated females in a cargo container. It's a messy case that the lethargic Baltimore cops would rather not pursue, until pain-in-the-posterior Jimmy pushes them into action.
There's some hard police work ahead, and that's only the half of it. Most of Jimmy's old colleagues from the first season have been assigned to investigate a waterfront union boss (Chris Bauer) whose dirty dealings seem designed to keep his organization afloat at a time when honest work is drying up. And The Wire continues to monitor the Barksdale drug business, currently suffering from supply problems. The show moves methodically from one story line to another, progressing by inches yet holding our interest with its finely drawn characters and a rare ability to illuminate the gray areas of city life.
BOTTOM LINE: Stay plugged in

Metzger guilty of all charges in fatal DUI case
The defense said motorcyclist Jamie Wilt braked too hard and caused the crash that claimed his girlfriend Magen Porter's life.
A jury looked at the evidence and placed blame squarely with Eugene Metzger, the intoxicated driver who, witnesses said, turned his sport utility vehicle in front of Wilt's motorcycle when it was just 5 to 10 feet away.
The panel deliberated about three hours and 15 minutes before finding Metzger, 54, of Erie, guilty as charged of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault while DUI, DUI, involuntary manslaughter, and recklessly endangering other persons.
The charge of homicide by vehicle while DUI carries a mandatory sentence of three years in prison. Sentencing is set for Jan. 18 in Judge John Garhart's courtroom.
Friends and family of Porter and Wilt hugged each other and wept outside the courthouse after the verdict was read.
Porter, 24, died instantly of a massive head injury after she was thrown from the motorcycle.
Wilt suffered several broken bones and a punctured lung. He committed suicide in March at the age of 26. His family has said he was despondent over the loss of Porter's life.
"It has been a very long year," Melinda Bostaph, Porter's mother, said.
"I am glad the jury found him guilty of the charges. Maybe we can sleep better at night."
"We miss her. We miss her like crazy," she said of her daughter, who died at the age of 24.
Porter and Wilt had spent the day of the crash, Aug. 30, 2010, helping a cancer-stricken relative move furniture. They were riding to watch the sunset at the foot of East Avenue when the collision at the intersection of East 38th Street and Nancy Drive occurred.
Wilt's mother, Sandy Powell, and Wilt's sister, Rashell Ulrich, echoed Bostaph's relief at the verdict. Their lives stopped when Porter and then Wilt died, Powell said.
It was difficult, they said, to hear the defense blame Wilt, a veteran motorcyclist, for causing the crash.
The jury's verdict concluded a six-day trial.
Assistant District Attorneys Mark Richmond and Lisa Ferrick charged that Porter would be alive had it not been for Metzger's decision to spend the day drinking in four different area taverns. His blood-alcohol content was 0.205 percent, more than two times the legal limit of 0.08 percent, after the crash.
Witnesses said and an investigation by Sgt. Jeff Annunziata concluded that Wilt tried to steer around the back of the SUV as it crossed in front of him, but did not have enough time. He and Porter were thrown from the motorcycle when it collided with the rear passenger side and dislodged the rear bumper.
Metzger's lawyer Paul Susko argued that Wilt panicked as he neared the intersection, braked hard and catapulted himself and Porter into the air.

First American edition. An appealing Christmas story by this popular and prolific author, actually published late in 1847 to catch the holiday gift giving season. (The 1847 Merchants' Magazine commented in its review of this book on the "extremely neat typographical dress in which it appears." ) Illustrated with a frontispiece and two inserted engravings by Cruikshank. 242 pp. Good overall in blind stamped brown cloth with gilt lettering on the spine (cloth beginning to split at upper end of spine, some foxing almost throughout the book, and especially on the tissue guards in front of the engravings, previous owner's name.)

I like both. I take some seaweed noodles, boil them in clam juice until it reduces and the clam flavor is soaked in and the noodles are softened. Then mix in some clams, oysters, and any other seafood I have around plus some heavy cream and grated parmesan. Voila. Primal seafood Alfredo. With iodine levels that would make Grizz blush.
I used to live in Baja Mexico for three or four months out of every year and I often ate clams for several nights out of any week. You could get them by the bucketful with about 30 minutes work.

Founded in 1988 ATI designed and manufactured the highest quality live sound mixing consoles and audio processing equipment for pro audio use. Paragon P40's and second-generation Paragon II's dominated the live-touring scene for many years, until the eventual development of reliable and road-capable digital consoles became accepted for use and replacement.
Spin-off products like the Pro6 and the 8MX2 were developed from technology in the Paragon console and became favorites for specific uses in their own right.
ATI has now changed its name to API (Automated Processes, Inc.) , a company that we aquired in 1999. The business of API and the reputation of its products have eclipsed the successes of ATI severalfold over the years. Parts of the technology and expertise that we refined at ATI continue to be incorporated in API products as we move ahead in applying what we have learned thus far, to the excellence of the API brand.
To all of you who have ever used a Pargon or rack-mount piece of ATI gear, we thank you. You helped drive us, encourage us, and lift our collective spirit to make the audio world a better-sounding place.
If you have never had the pleasure of mixing on a Paragon - we are truly sorry. A clean, powerful, dynamic audio presentation in a live venue is an emotional experience that is second to none.
Please visit the API website HERE.

By GreatSchools Staff
Quest for the Tree Kangaroo: An Expedition to the Cloud Forest of New Guinea
by Sy Montgomery, photographs by Nic Bishop
Houghton Mifflin (2009 reprint), $8.99
The author and photographer accompanied scientist Lisa Dabek and her team on a trek through the remote forests of Papua New Guinea in search of the elusive Matschie's tree kangaroo. Little is known about this animal that looks like a bear, has a pocket like a kangaroo, and lives in trees. The book is filled with wonderful photographs of tree kangaroos, their lush habitat, and other exotic plants and animals. Background information on Dabek — whose family and friends found her interest in animals strange when she was growing up and who overcame asthma — may be of special interest to aspiring naturalists and biologists.
Extreme Animals: The Toughest Creatures on Earth
by Nicola Davies, illustrated by Neal Layton
Candlewick Press (2009 reprint), $7.99
A book sure to spark many "Did you know?" conversations, Extreme Animals will amaze kids with fascinating facts about the creatures that withstand Earth's toughest conditions. From volcano-dwelling microorganisms that live off sulfur to cold-blooded frogs that can turn themsleves into "popsicles," this book makes biology exciting yet accessible.
Oh, Rats! The Story of Rats and People
by Albert Marrin
Dutton (2006), $16.99
The lifelike picture of the rat on this book's cover will be enough to pique the interest of many kids. "Revolting, revealing, and riveting," reads the back cover, and it's an apt description of the nine fact-filled chapters about these "champions of survival." The author provides information on rats' habits and intelligence as well as their role as disease carriers, lab animals, predators, pests, pets, and even food. The gross-out factor alone makes this a must-read.
Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth
by Lee Welles
Daisyworld Press (2007), $13
Like eco-Nancy Drews, the characters of the Gaia Girls series will appeal to girls ready to take on modern-day environmental challenges. Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth is the first in the series and introduces readers to Elizabeth, who possesses the power of "earth" — the ability to work with and command soil, trees, and creatures in the soil. Illustrated throughout, this chapter book is for mature fourth-graders, as it does not pull any punches when tackling subjects like factory farming. Highly recommended for its compelling story and sensitivity to current issues.
by Claire Watts and Trevor Day, DK Publishing (2006)
ages 8 and up, $16
Part of the Eyewitness Books series, Natural Disasters covers a wide variety of natural disasters, from earthquakes to epidemics. Written in plain language and illustrated with spectacular photos and diagrams, it contains a wealth of valuable information, including a historical timeline of major disasters, a glossary, and a list of Web and real-world resources (natural history and science museums) for additional research.
Bottom line: The striking visuals will draw even science-shy kids into the thrall of nature.
The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming
by Laurie David and Cambria Gordon
Orchard Books (2007), $16
Laurie David and Cambria Gordon's Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming makes a concept as complicated as global warming easy to understand. With the first half devoted to the science behind climate change, it's still relevant and enjoyable for kids. This guide will educate and empower young readers, leaving them with the knowledge they need to understand this problem — and the necessary steps to take action.
The New 50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth
by the EarthWorks Group
Andrews McMeel Publishing (2009)
A practical guide to conserving resources and protecting the environment, 50 Simple Things provides quick facts and tips designed to inspire action. Statistics and measurements are translated into age-appropriate terms, such as comparing children's body weight to the amount of garbage thrown away in a year. The book also explains how everyday items — like a light switch or a toilet — have a huge impact on the rest of the world. Fun ideas for the whole family to discuss and implement!
The Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids: The Secrets Behind What You Eat
by Michael Pollan
Dial (2009), $10
This book, adapted from the version for adults, will help kids understand what's at stake when it comes to feeding ourselves. Journalist Michael Pollan tracks down the sources of the ingredients that make their way to his dinner plate to demonstrate that every food choice we make has global implications.

As a business owner you spend an inordinate amount of your time complying with Federal and State rules and regulations. From licensing to taxes this paperwork is either farmed out or simply added to your "to do" list. What makes this worse is that these tasks distract you from your number one objective – making money.
What you don't want to do is miss one of the rules and find yourself in a penalty situation- or worse.
One of those rules is FACTA – The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. Under this law the Disposal rule commissions you – the business owner – with the responsibility of preventing unauthorized access to or use of your customers' credit information. Recent class action lawsuits have lead to penalties of up to $2500 per customer affected!
Your responsibilities in this area are simple. Well, as simple as law writing rules will allow. As a business owner you must:
- Burn, pulverize or shred papers containing consumer report information so that the information cannot be reconstructed.
Unless you own an incinerator, burning is not an option. Do you really want to be carting business records home to use them as kindling in your fireplace? The real option is shredding. Again, unless you invest is a top-of-the-line industrial shredder you run the risk of shredding papers that can (and will) be reconstructed by identity thieves. You must perform the same procedures to protect any electronic information.
Our expertise is not in on-line identity theft protection. However, assuming you have taken proper steps to protect your IT systems you may still find yourself with old hard drives or disks that contain this sensitive consumer information. One way to protect this information is to physically destroy the devices using a destruction service provider.
Contracting an independent, document and data destruction vendor is not as simple as picking up the phone and calling a "shred guy". These contractors must be audited and certified by a recognized trade organization.
The process for secure document and electronic media destruction is a complex one that involves not only the right equipment but rigorous "chain of evidence" procedures that guarantees the material will not fall into the wrong hands.
As a business owner – do you really have the time to do all the work necessary to comply with FACTA yourself? More importantly – how much is your time worth?
Needless to say, our advice is to hire a licensed, bonded information destruction firm like Office Paper Systems. We are fully compliant, independently certified and utilize state-of-the-art equipment required to protect your customers from identity theft.
You can also take advantage of our free shredding service, freesecureshredding.com, and we will securely destroy printed and digital media for free through our drop off program.
Your customers patronize your business because they trust the quality of your products or services. Make sure you continue to earn their trust by protecting their credit information. It's not only good business – it's the law.

GULFPORT - A 2012 Mifflinburg Area High School graduate and Millmont native boasts a unique distinction: that of serving in the Navy as part of a premier Navy engineer unit in the world today.
Seaman Yvonne Troisi, a culinary specialist, is assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11 (NMCB 11), home-ported in Gulfport, Miss., and recently returned from deployment to Guam.
NMCB 11 is a Seabee battalion specializing in advance base construction, battle damage repair, contingency engineering, humanitarian assistance and disaster recovery support to fleet and unified commanders.
Article Photos
Yvonne Troisi
Naval Mobile Construction Battalions, more commonly known as the "Seabees," are the premier military engineer units in the world today. Born out of necessity in the early days of World War II, their exploits are legendary.
This legacy is carried on today by the men and women of the Naval Construction Force who build and fight. For more than 70 years, the men and women of the Naval Construction Force have been deployed around the world around the clock and have defended America at all times.
Troisi and the rest of the battalion returned from their six-month deployment earlier this year, where they were in charge of providing engineering support to four combatant command areas of responsibility.
While deployed, Troisi and the other Navy Seabees of NMCB 11 were responsible for executing a countless number of projects, ranging from security improvements to bases in Africa to the construction of a submarine support facility in Guam.
Troisi said it is an exciting time to be in the Navy.
"I have always wanted to travel. I also like to cook. I have a good time doing my job. So, it's been good so far," she said.
"This deployment was a huge success for the Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa, and for us as a crew," said Cmdr. Steve Stasick, commander of NMCB 11. "The sailors did very well executing the mission.
"We've been very pleased with the support of the Naval Station Rota community at large," he added. "It enabled us to operate in 19 countries in four COCOMS (combatant commands)."
"I feel more confident in myself and have become more mature," Troisi said. "I have been able to experience a lot of different cultures and places no one has ever been."
Through concentrated planning and operations, Troisi and other Seabees of NMCB 11 were able to assist the local population and add an unparalleled level of responsiveness and flexibility to our fleet and unified commanders in the area.
When it comes to protecting and defending America, being there matters, and America's Navy Seabees already are there.

Nintendo - You'll get our first party stuff when we're done!
March 29th, 2007
A portion of a GamesIndustry interview with Nintendo of Europe's marketing director Laurent Fischer concerning the slow crawl of first party Wii software…
GI: There has been criticism that there's not enough first-party software coming quick enough, that there's quite a gap between big releases on the Wii. What's your response to that?
LF: I would remind people that the console has only been on the shelves since December. We already have a lot of software and we have a strong line-up of titles and we have a lot of games on the Virtual Console. At the moment I think we have a strong enough line-up with titles like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid. I would say that these titles - and this has always been the Nintendo policy - will be on the shelves when the director says so. If the development team says they need one more month or two more months to deliver a unique Wii experience, we're comfortable with that.
GI: That was something that Shigeru Miyamoto touched on in his GDC keynote earlier in the month. If the game needs it, Nintendo is happy to hold it back to be polished. That's quite refreshing for a publisher…
LF: At Nintendo I'm marketing director, but I'm proud to say that the marketing department has the last voice. When the product is out it's exactly as the creator intended. It's the way the development studio dreamt it from the very beginning. Some companies may aim to release games at Christmas or for specific financial times of the year - Nintendo has nothing to do with that, it's never been the case.
