A year after they sat out the winter market, passed up a chance to trade for Johan Santana and handed rotation spots to Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, the Yankees are back with a vengeance and a wide-open wallet -- kicking it old-school Steinbrenner style.
CC Sabathia taking too long to respond to the offer? Add a year, $21 million and an opt-out clause to the offer, and presto! The big guy's in pinstripes. The Yankees agreed early Wednesday to a seven-year, $161 million contract that will allow Sabathia to opt out after three years and $69 million if he doesn't like it in the Bronx.
And there's more. Late Wednesday, the Yankees were making an aggressive bid for free-agent right-hander A.J. Burnett. A person close to the talks, who requested anonymity because the deal is not yet consummated, said the Yankees and Braves had both increased their offers to Burnett from four years to five, and that the Yankees' offer was "substantially" greater in terms of money. One report compared the offer to the five-year, $91.5 million contract Carlos Zambrano got from the Cubs.
The Yankees also have had serious conversations in recent days with right-hander Derek Lowe, and as of Wednesday afternoon they had a four-year, $65 million proposal on the table to him. They would be happy to sign both Lowe and Burnett to go into the rotation with Sabathia, Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain. If they can't, they're interested in Ben Sheets (on a two-year deal with options) and Andy Pettitte.
"We need to improve our starting rotation, and it's not one -- it's more than one," said general manager Brian Cashman, who declined to confirm the Sabathia signing (he still needs to pass a physical before it's official) but did discuss his hastily arranged Tuesday night visit to the pitcher's home in the San Francisco Bay area.
This seems gluttonous, and certainly in conflict with the way the Yankees were behaving a year ago. But the fact is, this is the way it's supposed to work for the Yankees. They have more money than anybody. They have a brand-new ballpark set to open in April and make them even more money. The market is depressed, teams are holding back on spending, and here they come, using weapons that they have and others don't to make them a better team.
It never made sense that the Yankees would want to operate on a reduced payroll -- if you can afford the best players, why not get them? And the way Hughes and Kennedy performed in 2008 showed that you can't force your young talent into major-league roles if they're not ready. Better to bring them along naturally, let them play well enough to challenge your veterans and earn their spots, and move people around if and when you have to.
The Yankees' farm system is much stronger than it was a half-decade ago, but it's still recovering from years when they'd trade away top prospects for fading veterans in an effort to win immediately. The best thing for the talented young players in their minor-league system is to play, develop and let their achievements tell the team when they're ready to help.
In the meantime, free-agent starting pitching isn't just a reasonable way to go -- it's a path that has led to Yankees glory in the very recent past. For all the talk about how the dynasty teams of the late 1990s didn't have big stars, the fact is that they all had free-agent pitchers in the rotation. Other than Pettitte, the anchors of the playoff staffs for Joe Torre's World Series winners were guys like David Cone, Jimmy Key, David Wells and Roger Clemens -- pitchers who were imported from outside the organization at great cost. It's tough to develop young pitching -- especially to develop a whole young pitching staff all at once.
So go, Yankees -- have your fun and spend your money. With $85 million coming off the 2008 payroll, the Sabathia move has been in the works for over a year -- one reason they passed on Santana was that he was going to cost players AND money, when they knew Sabathia would be available this winter for only the latter.
Now, they can envision a staff of Sabathia, Wang, Burnett, Chamberlain and Lowe, which would be one of the very best in the game and have guys like Hughes, Kennedy and Alfredo Aceves in the wings to fill in if somebody gets hurt. And all it's costing them is a great big pile of money that they already have.
That's the Yankee way, like it or not. And the reason is because it tends to work.

If you're trying to avoid corn syrup, you're probably concerned with your overall health and nutrition. Corn syrup is a concentrated source of sugar that is added to many processed foods. In general, the best ways to steer clear of this food additive are to read ingredient lists and to eat whole foods.
Corn Syrup
Corn syrup is a highly concentrated source of sweetness, providing 17 grams of sugar in just 1 tablespoon, according the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A manufactured product created by exposing cornstarch to acids or enzymes, it is then clarified to create light corn syrup or has caramel color and flavoring added to create dark corn syrup. Food manufacturers commonly use corn syrup as a sweetener because it prevents crystallization and is cost-effective due to the small amount needed to create a sweet flavor. You'll find corn syrup most often in soda, juice, candy, jams, syrups and dessert foods.
Read Food Labels
To determine if a packaged food has corn syrup in it, read the label. An ingredient list must appear on all packaged foods and is usually located under the nutrition facts panel. Look for corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup in the ingredient list. If it's not there, the food is free of corn syrup. You can also get an idea of how much corn syrup is in a product because of where it's listed in the ingredient list. According the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the first ingredient in a list makes up the largest percentage of the food by weight and the last ingredient makes up the least. If corn syrup is the first ingredient, the product mainly consists of it.
Eat Whole Foods
Corn syrup does not occur naturally; it's manufactured. Eating whole, unprocessed foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and proteins, ensures you're not getting corn syrup. Whole foods come in packages or wrappers only to preserve freshness or for bulk purchasing. They rarely have an ingredient list because whole foods contain nothing but the food itself. If the food is processed or pre-cooked at all -- for example, sold in a marinade or syrup or with herbs or flavoring -- check for an ingredient list to make sure it has no corn syrup. As an added bonus, eating a whole-foods-based diet provides you with the most nutrients needed to keep you healthy.
Buy Organic Foods
In general, organic foods do not contain corn syrup, even if they're processed snacks. A few exceptions do occur and there is nothing stopping organic food companies from using organic corn syrup in products, so be sure to read the ingredient list. You'll usually see organic sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave, fruit juices or stevia used to sweeten organic foods. These are all natural sources of sweetness. However, they still contain sugar, so consume desserts and processed snacks in moderation.

Grab those nets, grab those castable snares, and start heating your butter….crab season is OPEN AGAIN!!!!!
See here for the official announcement!
Salmon Season looking rocky for 2016
Only 3% of the Sacramento River juvenile chinook salmon survived their annual migration to the sea, thanks to higher than normal river temperatures. Only a 3 degree temperature change in the river water created the situation since there was no snowmelt to cool the water temperatures. See this article for more information.
El Nino Effects Update
It's been a wet and wild winter along the West Coast! High surf has caused all kinds of issues:
- The Ventura Pier suffered damage in early January 2016, and is currently closed for repairs. Reopening is slated for end of February.
- Ventura Promenade suffered heavy erosion; the repairs started Feb 3 and continue through April; see here for more information
- The Pacifica Pier also suffered damage in January; at last report, the L piece of the pier was closed to the public.
- The seafront road near the Pacifica Pier has also experienced multiple sinkholes, closing the road to vehicles. This is currently under repair.
- Ocean Beach Pier took minor damage but should be open at this time.
Be very careful with walking along the shore this winter! High surf has continued from December through into February, with many reports of people swept off rocks. Most recently a couple on the beach in Pacifica were swept into the ocean while walking in ankle deep water. Sneaker waves are sneaky and powerful, and cause the sand under your feet to erode causing you to lose your footing and fall. NEVER turn your back on the ocean, and during high surf it's safest to stay where the sand is driest.
Toxins in Rock and Dungeness Crabs Found, Season Delayed
Been waiting for the start of crab season and dreaming of holiday crab? You'll have to wait a bit…this year's crabbing season has been delayed due to toxins built up in crabs from the unprecedented red algae bloom in the Pacific. This affects rock and Dungeness species. The toxins are not destroyed by boiling water (independently verified with a biochemist) and the toxins have been known to cause permanent damage and even death in humans.
For more information and updates on when crab season may open, go here.
Crab Season and the Algae Bloom: Be Aware!
There's an enormous toxic algae bloom in the Pacific that has the potential to delay Dungeness season. Officials are conducting tests on crabs now and expect to announce later this week if crabs are safe to catch or if crab season must be delayed. Keep in mind that this algae creates a neurotoxin in crabs that can kill humans, so please keep an eye on the testing results.
More info on this news, and we'll update when the results are posted.

Hobbyists (and their spouses) always seem drawn to tall tanks. I know that my wife's favorite of the display tanks I have is a custom 180 gallon that is 36 inches tall. While most fish look great in a tall tank (especially the angels I have in the 180), it can be difficult to get a lush growth of plants.
The initial problem of plants for a tall tank (when I say "tall" I mean taller than 20 inches) is that there aren't that many readily available aquatic plants that grow very tall. Please note that the word "aquatic" is very important, since many plants being sold for aquariums are, in fact, bog or terrestrial plants, and they always die after a month or so of being submersed.
The second problem is that it can be difficult to drive light from an aquarium hood or reflector down deep enough into a tall tank. Tall tanks may require as much as twice the wattage of a shorter tank if you want to grow plants other than the ones listed in this article. Not all plants will do well for everyone, and it may take some trial and error to find out what plants you can grow in your water and lighting conditions.

When a company is referred to as a "poor man's American Express (NYSE: AXP)," it may seem like a backhanded compliment.
But Discover's management takes a backseat to no one when it comes to delivering robust and shareholder-friendly moves. Based on recent actions, Discover is emerging as one of the top Total Yield plays of 2014.
Discover has seemingly always been on the margins of the financial services industry, never holding dominant market share in any of the niches in which it operates. Sears Holdings (Nasdaq: SHLD) launched the company in 1985 and eventually unloaded it to Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), which eventually disposed of it through the IPO market (in 2007).
Yet through it all, Discover's management has built a very respectable franchise. CEO David Nelms has been in charge for a decade and gets high marks from analysts. "The company has made great strides during his tenure, and Discover's relatively high capital levels and excellent underwriting kept the company in good shape throughout the financial crisis," writes Morningstar's Jim Sinegal.
Many people may overlook the Discover card, as it toils in the shadow of Visa (NYSE: V), MasterCard (NYSE: MA) and AmEx, but the Discover card is actually experiencing industry-leading growth right now (on a percentage basis) in new accounts and transaction volume.
More impressive, Discover's online banking and lending business is now delivering industry-leading profit margins. "Without the cost burden of a branch network, Discover has become a leader in direct consumer banking. We think the ability to both raise deposits and make loans online cuts out an important layer of costs relative to peers, and Discover has arguably focused more than any other company in this area," note analysts at Morningstar.

|Many people may overlook the Discover card, as it toils in the shadow of Visa, MasterCard and AmEx, but the Discover card is actually experiencing industry-leading growth right now (on a percentage basis) in new accounts and transaction volume.
More recent forays into mortgage underwriting, student loans and home equity lending have come at a time when many existing players have been retrenching, enabling Discover to quickly gain market share. Those moves, coupled with Discover's efforts to more deeply coordinate with alternative payment providers such as PayPal and China UnionPay, should help generate rising sales and profits as U.S. consumer spending finally starts to strengthen.
Even before then, Discover's financial performance has already been quite impressive: The company has averaged $3.3 billion in annualized free cash flow over the past five years. The impressive free cash flow has enabled Discover to boost its Tier 1 common capital to 14.9%, which is the highest in the sector and well above the legally required minimums. As a result, management aims to reduce this metric to 11% by the end of next year, and to do so, will return cash to shareholders at a faster pace.
Discover recently completed a $2.4 billion share repurchase program, and just this week, announced a new $3.2 billion buyback program, which could shrink the current float by more than 11%.
Also, the dividend is getting a lot more attention these days. Since being spun out from Morgan Stanley in 2007, the payout had never grown above $0.20 a share -- but it surged to $0.74 a share last year, is at a $0.96 a share run rate this year, and could be heading to $1.16 a share by next year, according to Merrill Lynch. That 2015 projected payout only equates to a 2% yield, but when coupled with the massive buyback plan, works out to be a Total Yield exceeding 13%.
Analysts see real virtue in Discover's financial strength: "DFS continues to be our top pick amongst the credit card issuers as we believe the company will continue to have stronger balance growth than its peers which will ultimately benefit the company when interest rates rise," note analysts at Credit Suisse.
Incidentally, that "poor man's AmEx" notion also comes into play in terms of valuations as well. Shares of AmEx trade for around 14.5 times projected profits, while Discover's multiple is just 10. Discover's 2.6 times price-to-book ratio is also roughly half as large as AmEx's ratio.
Risks to Consider: Consumers are handling their finances in a prudent fashion these days, though a firming economy may see a return to the day of more reckless lending and rising bad loans.
Action to Take --> You never hear about Discover when the media talks about the nation's credit card issuers or top banks. Discover's hybrid business model may get some to the blame as the company is hard to categorize. But a deep look at this financial firm's key operating metrics reveals a top-class operator with leverage to a resurgent U.S. economy.

Many readers wondered about where and how deep to make the cuts in Jacques Pépin's steamed and roasted turkey. Chef Pépin makes the cut at the joint between the drumstick and the thigh, leaving an incision about 1 1/2 inches wide and deep enough to go to but not through the joint. I used a small sharp knife to make a cut of the same width and 1-inch deep, but my cut was at a different point on the bird — where the thigh meets the breast. Both versions produce delicious turkeys; the idea is to pierce the skin so the steam can more easily get to the dark meat, which takes longer to cook.
Here's where I made my incision:
Here's a closer view from the opposite angle:
You must also make an incision of the same size at the joint where each wing to the breast:

text: Successful actors and actresses could hope for long term employment at the big theatres in cities such as London or Dublin, but there were also touring companies who moved around the country's major towns and cities. Some of these were well known and relatively prosperous, however becoming a 'strolling' player was seen by many as degrading. Touring was often a less lucrative (and less comfortable) option. The companies were generally smaller, more characters had to be cut and so plays were shortened and adapted to suit the number of players available. Audiences in the country were thought to be coarser and the actors' clothes in the picture are distinctly tatty. An 18th century actress, Charlotte Charke, described working with a strolling company as 'a contemptible life'. She even recalls watching one of her fellow actresses edging sideways around the stage in a very peculiar manner in order to disguise the fact that she had no stockings on.

Washi tape seems to be very popular with almost all of my friends, but I am never sure what to do with it and I have so many questions about Washi tape. Such as, do I use it as just an embellishment, or do I use it as the focal point of my card? Does it have to match the color of my cardstock or the color of my ink?

Geometry Wars out now for iPad
iPad out later...
There may not be a new entry in the series planned just now but that doesn't mean that Geometry Wars isn't expanding its horizons.
In fact, the visual neon candy that is Geometry Wars is now available via iTunes for the iPad.
No, we're not kidding. The iPad is still a couple of days away but Geometry Wars Touch has already made an appearance on the App Store for Apple's new tablet.
As far as launch titles go Geometry Wars isn't a bad game to start with although we're not sure about the 9.99 USD price tag.
Thanks Joystiq.

Well-off children play less - study
CHILDREN FROM disadvantaged communities enjoy more freedom to play outdoors than children from more affluent backgrounds, according to the findings of a research study.
It found that middle class children had "narrower windows of freedom" to play in their neighbourhoods because they were "much more likely to be heavily scheduled within structured and timetabled extracurricular activities".
Led by Doireann O'Connor from Sligo Institute of Technology's department of social sciences and Marlene McCormack from Early Childhood Ireland, the study involved interviewing 1,700 families in 240 communities, both urban and rural.
"We covered all six cities as well as good-sized towns such as Wexford, Castlebar, Tralee, Longford and Enniskillen and six rural counties – Wicklow, Donegal, Clare, Leitrim, Fermanagh and Monaghan," Ms O'Connor said.
The aim of the all-island study was to "capture data on how children in modern Ireland in the age categories 0-15 are playing within neighbourhood spaces including streets, greens, playgrounds, laneways and parks among others".
Middle-class children "are spending a far greater time on homework than other children, they also spend the most time reading books and their parents are the most worried about them not having enough time to engage in play", the study found.
Children in medium-sized towns "fared worst in terms of outdoor play time, with children in cities and rural areas enjoying significantly more time outdoors". In cities, however, children living in apartments "are faring worst of all". These children had "the least amount of outdoor play opportunities and time allotted to outdoor play. They also had the lowest instances of traditional play which their parents recognised as having engaged in when they were children", they added.
Indeed, the "vast majority" of parents expressed the view that they had "more freedom and more time outdoors than their children do". They were also "more than twice as likely to have walked to school as their children are", according to the study.
Not surprisingly, it found that indoor activities, such as watching TV and playing with electronic equipment, were "highly prevalent in children's lives", particularly among boys. Girls, though playing outdoors less often, were more likely to engage with nature.
"Gender interactions were surprisingly low, with children in urban areas more likely to mix across gender lines," the authors said.

Etsy added an analytics report to its Shop Stats feature to make it easier for sellers to analyze the traffic to listings. "Identifying where your customers come from is the first step to getting more customers," the company wrote in its announcement. The online marketplace also added a "Related Items" feature to the bottom of the seller's listing page.
The new Listing Stats report shows the number of views that come from each traffic source. Sellers can see which keywords shoppers were searching when they clicked through to the sellers' items, and they can also view reports showing pages with the most views and favorites.
By learning how shoppers find their listings, sellers can refine their marketing efforts and how they tag their listings. Listing Stats reports also include graphs of a listing's views and favorites.
To see a Listing Stats report, sellers click a listing within Shop Stats or a Stats link in the Seller Tools menu on a listing page. Listing Stats and search keyword landing page reports go back one month, and traffic source landing page reports go back to June 28, 2011.
Etsy's new "Related Items" feature showcases a seller's other items on the bottom of the listing page. Etsy draws from the seller's other items in the same shop section, and also takes a shop's featured items into consideration when selecting related items.
Shop owners who do not see related items in their listings should consider adding some shop sections and featured items to their shop.

Man arrested after downtown Dallas purse snatching outside El Centro College this morning
form mt:asset-id="108736″ class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;">
A 23-year-old man with a lengthy criminal history is accused of knocking a woman to the ground in an attempted purse snatching outside El Centro College this morning.
The attack on the 30-year-old woman about 7:15 a.m. along Main Street near Lamar Street knocked her to the ground. She hit her head on the sidewalk, but was not seriously injured, police said.
An El Centro officer and a maintenance man witnessed the attack and chased after the assailant, identified as Dewaylon Runnels (right). Dallas police officers arrested Runnels and he is expected to face felony robbery charges.
Runnels is being held at the Dallas County Jail, where his bail has not yet been set. His Dallas criminal history includes charges of robbery, theft and burglary.
Purse snatchings are one of those crimes that might sound relatively minor. But it's important to remember the weekend death of 76-year-old Sabra Leavy days after she was dragged across a Lake Highlands parking lot during such a crime.

Philadelphia, Pa. – The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that they have renewed their partnership with Main Line Health, who will continue to provide medical services to the team under the designation of official healthcare provider.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Main Line Health has served as a sponsor of the 76ers. As part of the organization's sponsorship and role as the official healthcare provider, doctors from all six Main Line Health hospitals will be highlighted throughout the season in a new 'Ask the Doc' feature, which allows fans to submit their health questions to be answered by a Main Line Health physician. These questions and answers will be shared in-arena, on the Sixers website, and during Sixers radio broadcasts on 97.5 FM.

"We are very excited that the 76ers have, once again, reached out to Main Line Health as their preferred healthcare provider," said Jack Lynch, President and CEO of Main Line Health. "We are proud that the team is turning to our expert physicians and hospitals to help meet their healthcare needs as they enter into another exciting season."

They're getting back together – for the kids.
Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, who teamed up as Laverne and Shirley on the classic, eponymous sitcom from 1976 to 1983, are reuniting for a guest appearance on a teen sitcom. It will be the first time they've acted together in 30 years.
Marshall, 69, and Williams, 65, will appear on Nickelodeon's Sam & Cat, playing the creators of a '70s TV show who haven't spoken in 30 years.
The episode is filming this week in Los Angeles.
Marshall has largely been out of show business in recent years. Last September, she published a memoir, My Mother Was Nuts, in which she discussed, among other things, her 2009 diagnosis of both a brain tumor and lung cancer – from which she recovered fully.
Williams has done TV, film and stage acting, and some film producing, since Laverne & Shirley wrapped.
Sam & Cat, starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande, is a crossover spin-off of two other Nickelodeon shows – iCarly and Victorious.

I was very fortunate to have a hawk's nest with a baby hawk in a cell tower across the street from my picture frame business (Picture Frame Destination Inc.). We brought a pair of binoculars up to work and our employee's enjoyed watching the baby grow up. Myself and Walt, an amateur photographer that works for us, took many pictures. Some were with my Canon 100-300mm but the last weekend before the baby hawk started flying I rented a 600mm. Unfortunately the entire weekend was overcast and rainy but I was still able to get some interesting shots.
I own a Manfrotto 3021 tripod with 468 Proball head which served me well until I put that massive Canon 600mmL on it. I still had to shoot at high shutter speed and use cable release. Every time I touched the camera it would take several seconds before it would stop vibrating. I have a lot more respect for bird photographers now! I had it easy since I just left the camera setup in our front lobby and every now and then I would go and click off a few shots. I was also wishing I had upgraded to a 12 megapixel camera since I still had to take advantage of digital zoon.
I have more shots on my pbase account here:
It was fascinating to watch the two parent hawks feed and take care of the baby. For many weeks the baby just sat in the nest but in the last few days it actually started venturing into other parts of the cell tower. Most of the shots just show the baby flexing its wings or pulling out its baby feathers but the shot with baby actually in the air (CRW_4173.jpg) was him or her actually hoping down from the upper part of the tower. The day after I took that shot was the day we first started seeing the young hawk fly. The first couple days he appeared to be out of the nest for progressively longer periods of time. On the third day it was kind of depressing for all of us because all the hawks would be gone most of the day so my entire company ended up suffering from "empty nest syndrome". Now it is rare that we actually see or hear them. Some times I might see one of them circling high over highway on my way into work.

Thankfully our two Open Water students, Seo from Korea and Gabor from Hungary, both appreciate what lucky people they are to have had such a stunning 'swimming pool' skills session today. During confined skills 4 and 5, they encountered no less than 3 seahorses, 3 flounders, 2 puffer fish, a tiny frogfish and a pigmy pipehorse! Now that's pretty amazing for any dive anywhere…. but for a 'POOL'?! Sure beats cold chlorinated water and other people's old elastaplasts!
Hooray for the Webb family!
Congratulations for their recent certifications. Benjamin and Jessica had great fun on their Junior Open Water course. In the meantime proud parents, Keith and Lori, kept themselves happily busy – each doing 4 Adventure Dives for their Advanced. They all celebrated together with a fun dive at the end of their stay. Good job guys!
We think every diver should get to the level of Rescue Diver, as this makes you a much better diver. Its great fun and every student says that its the best course they ever do.
There is alot to do on the course – in-water exercises and scenarios as well as videos to watch and course manuals to read.
In order to allow our guests to take the course AND do some fun diving, we have just developed a new 5-day package for the Rescue Course. The price is €451 and includes:
– EFR first aid course
– Rescue course
– 4 x fun dives
– all manuals & materials, dive equipment and certification
The schedule would be:
|Day 1
|Day 2
am – 2 x fun dives
pm & evening – study theory for EFR
|Day 3
am – EFR Course
pm – 1 x fun dive; evening study theory for Rescue Course
|Day 4
am – Rescue course practical
pm & evening study theory for Rescue course
|Day 5
am – Rescue course practical
pm & evening study theory for Rescue course
|Day 6
am – Rescue course practical ** Rescue course completed **
pm – 1 x fun dive
As another incentive, we are also offering a special price of €18/dive (normal price €22.50) for any extra fun diving that you do during
this time (afternoon dives AND night dives), it depends on how your study theory goes.
Well done to Valentina, who recently became a Rescue Diver with Two Fish! Valentina's fiancé, Dom, did his Dive Master course with us on Bunaken 5 years ago, and he was back here again fun diving 2 years ago, bringing Valentina with him to do the Advanced Course.
They recently got engaged, so what better way to celebrate than with yet another trip to Two Fish and a Rescue Diver course? Congratulations to you both and all the best for the June wedding!
Helen, Gizmo and everyone at Two Fish Divers would like to congratulate Marta, David & Santiago on passing their PADI Open Water Course!
Helen & Gizmo travelled from the dark side to Bunaken to teach an Open Water Course in Spanish, Gizmo's home language. The course got off to a great start with them seeing a turtle at The Lagoon, which is very rare as most of the dive guides in Bunaken have not seen one there before! The course continued without the guys having any problems and ended on a high with another Turtle sighting at Lekuan 1! Gizmo worked extra hard translating Helen's briefings into Spanish but it was clear from looking at the huge smiles on their faces that all 3 thoroughly enjoyed the course!

Wester Conservation - Land
Protecting Large Open Lands
Protecting Western lands benefits ranchers, hunters, many types of recreational use, and native species, including the American Bison. Photo courtesy of cloudsoup via flickr.0
Public lands make up over 85 percent of the West, and management of these lands is critical to the health of the region; indeed, some of these vast forested lands are essential to the health of the planet. Private lands comprise 15 percent of Western lands, and private landowners are increasingly receptive to conservation efforts. Our goal is to ensure that public and private lands are managed to support both conservation and sustainable human use. The Foundation will support organizations working to accomplish the following objectives.
- Achieve West-wide policy changes that protect roadless areas
- Increase and target public funding for private land conservation toward high priority landscapes
- Ensure climate protection policies include ecosystem conservation and adaptation priorities

Crowley blanks Kaplan in Acadia/Vermilion Parish Jamboree
CROWLEY – It's still way too early to tell, but after watching his Crowley Gents record a shutout in Thursday's Acadia/Vermilion Jamborre outing against Kaplan, Tommy Tate has reason to be optimistic about his 2011 defense.
That defense, which yielded 288 yards and just over 27 points a game in 2010, held Kaplan's wing-t offense to 45 yards in the first half and 131 overall in a commanding 13-0 victory over the Pirates at Gardiner Memorial Stadium.
"Any time you get a goose egg on the board, you know, hats off to the defense," said Tate. "Kaplan does a good job with the wing-t and we got them in some long yardage situations and that's the key, playing good first-down defense. I thought we did that for the most part."
Crowley's defense was a factor early and often, forcing a fumble on Kaplan's first play of their first offensive series, which was recovered by Dorris Senegal, and then holding the Pirates to three-and-out on their next drive. The Gents also held their opposition to just one first down in the first half before forcing a turnover on downs.
It was much of the same story in the second half for Crowley's defense.
Kaplan's first two drives of the half resulted in interceptions, one by Damon Malbrough and one by Brody Deshotel.
"When you play hard, you don't know where the takeaways are going to come," said Tate. "But if you play with great effort, they'll come; you just don't know when. You've gotta battle every play and when you do that, you have a chance to get takeaways and we got three of them tonight."
Kaplan's offense crossed midfield once in the first half before turning the ball over on downs at the CHS 45-yard line.
In the second half, the Pirates reached the CHS 48 on it's opening drive before a penalty pushed them back across midfield. The drive ended on Malbrough's interception on third down.
Kaplan started its next series of the second half in Gent territory following a blocked punt by Jacques Laviolette. Quarterback Kamron Abshire broke a long run to the CHS 27, but a loss and a run for no gain was followed up by Deshotel's interception.
The Pirates mounted one last drive when they got the ball back with 3:22 remaining.
Playing against Crowley's second- and third-unit defenses, the Pirates marched down to the CHS 25 before time expired.
"There were times where they really took it to us and got a couple of first downs," said Tate. "But then we regrouped, got better play and got them in some long-yardage situations. Any time you get that type of team in second -and-long, third-and- long, then you have them where you want them."
The effort was in contrast to the unit's play in 2010, when games resembled track meets more than football games.
Not to be outdone, the CHS offense also gave reason for optimism.
The Gents rolled up 212 total yard in the two,15-minute halves, racking up 12 first downs along the way.
They started early with a 6-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by a 37-yard touchdown pass from Andre Mills to Kaleb Cormier. Cormier caught the pass around the 30-yard line, spun away from three defenders and outran half the Kaplan team to the end zone. Deshotel then split the uprights to put the Gents up 7-0 with 12:58 remaining in the first half.
LSU commitment Davante Bourque gained 11 yards during the drive and Mills had 16 on two runs.
"I thought we had great tempo on that first drive," said Tate. "The offense took the field and really played with a lot of tempo and it looked like we were right where we needed to be. We just have to keep that intensity and tempo as the game goes on. I think we lost a little bit of that after that first touchdown."
The Gents had an opportunity to increase their advantage following a fumble on the Pirates' first series, but they were unable to capitalize on the take away and turned the ball over on downs at the NV 28.
They wouldn't let another opportunity slip, however.
After forcing Kaplan into a three-and-out during the Pirates' next series, the Gents took over at midfield.
This time it took seven plays and a personal foul on the Patriots before Mills scrambled across the goal line from three yards out for the final points of the game.
Crowley's offense, which got big numbers on the ground and through the air last year, was balanced once again.
On the ground, four Gents - Bourque, Mills, Danny Malbrough and Calvin Robinson - carried the load, combining for 117 yards on 23 carries. Bourque led the way with nine carries for 57 yards; Mills carried 11 times for 37; Malbrough picked up 10 yards on one carry and Robinson had 13 yards on two runs.
Mills was also effective through the air, completing six of his 14 pass attempts for 95 yards.
"I guess the good thing is that I think Andre knows where he's going with the ball," said Tate. "He made some good throws. We had some dropped balls and that's going to happen early in the season. I think as the season goes on, we'll make those catches. But the good thing is that Andre knows where to go with the ball and we'll get better at the things that we need to do to throw the football. But we still have to be able to run the football, there's no doubt about that."
Cormier was Mills' top target, hauling in three passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Chanz Moore had two receptions for seven yards and Robinson added one catch for seven yards.
Overall, Tate was pleased with the Gents' performance, but said his squad still has some work to do.
"I liked our effort and the intensity that we played with, but we're still missing on a lot of things," he said. "(We had) way too many penalties (six for 60 yards) and we're missing on a lot of things offensively.
"Defensively, we saw some improvement, but we can still do a lot better of tackling as a team. And on special teams, we still need a lot of work, but I expected that."
That work began Friday as the Gents looked at film and went through an abbreviated practice in preparation for Friday's season opener at Patterson.
"We'll go over film and then introduce Patterson tomorrow at practice," said Tate. "Patterson is a pretty good team. They played in the state championship game last year and they return most of their skill guys. It' will be a big challenge and we're looking forward to it."

Sir.—The report by Traynelis and Hrabovsky1 concluded that the treatment of "acute cholecystitis" in the neonate is surgery. They based this conclusion on their description of a single patient whose palpable gallbladder was diagnosed by ultrasound to have sludging, was noted to function poorly on a technetium Tc 99m paraisopropyl iminodiacetic acid (PIPIDA) scan, and turned out to show histologic signs of "chronic cholecystitis" after its removal. Aside from an enlarged gallbladder and neonatal jaundice, this patient had no signs of infection or biliary tract disease. Between diagnosis and surgery, the mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen decreased in size, and the serum bilirubin level fell. The authors cited a total of nine other cases reported in the world literature, all but one treated surgically, and a "20% mortality rate" to buttress their recommendation for surgery.
We strongly disagree with this recommendation. When performing abdominal

- Statement to Recipients
- Property Acquired From the Decedent
- Property Eligible for Increase to Basis
- Amount of Basis Increase
- Penalty Relief
- How To Get Tax Help
The executor of an estate of a decedent who died in 2010 can elect to apply modified carryover basis treatment to property acquired from the decedent under section 301(c) of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (TRUIRJCA). If the election is made, the estate will not be subject to federal estate tax and does not need to file a Form 706 even if the value of the estate is $5,000,000 or more. As a result, section 1014 generally does not apply to determine the recipient's basis in property acquired from the decedent. Instead, section 1022 applies to determine the recipient's basis in most (but not all) property acquired from the decedent. This election is referred to as the Section 1022 Election.
Form 8939 is an information return used by the executor of a decedent who died in 2010:
To make the Section 1022 Election;
To report information about property acquired from a decedent (defined in Property Acquired From the Decedent, later); and
To allocate Basis Increase (defined in Basis Increase, later) to certain property acquired from a decedent.
For detailed information about the Section 1022 Election, see Notice 2011-66, 2011-35 I.R.B. 184, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2011-35_IRB/ar09.html and Notice 2011-76, 2011-40 I.R.B 479, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2011-40_IRB/ar13.html. For optional safe harbor guidance under section 1022, see Revenue Procedure 2011-41, 2011-35 I.R.B. 188, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2011-35_IRB/ar10/html.
The Section 1022 Election is made when the executor timely files Form 8939. The due date for Form 8939 is January 17, 2012. For more information on the filing due date, see When to File in the Instructions for Form 8939.
If the executor makes the Section 1022 Election, special rules apply. These rules include the following.
There is no estate tax.
The basis of property acquired from a decedent generally is determined under the modified carryover basis rules of section 1022 and not under section 1014. Generally, the recipient's basis is the lesser of the decedent's adjusted basis or the fair market value (FMV) at the date of the decedent's death, increased by any allocation of Basis Increase, and as further adjusted as required by sections 1016, 1017, and 1018, or as otherwise specifically provided for under applicable provisions of Internal Revenue laws.
If the executor makes the Section 1022 Election and follows the provisions of section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2011-41, and takes no return position contrary to any provisions of section 4, the IRS will not challenge the taxpayer's ability to rely on the provisions of section 4 on either Form 8939 or any other return of tax.
Once made, the Section 1022 Election cannot be revoked after the due date for filing Form 8939.
For information on how property acquired from the decedent for which a Section 1022 Election has been made is treated with respect to certain income tax provisions (including holding period, tax character, and depreciation) see Rev. Proc. 2011-41, section 4.06.
The executor filing Form 8939 must furnish a Schedule A (Form 8939) to each person who acquired property from the decedent, including the following persons.
The decedent's surviving spouse.
The trustee of a qualified terminable interest property (QTIP) trust.
Any charitable remainder trust the sole non-charitable beneficiary of which is the decedent's surviving spouse.
Any other person (other than the executor filing the return) who acquires property from the decedent.
The executor must provide a Schedule A (Form 8939) to each person who acquired property from the decedent no later than 30 days after the date that the executor files Form 8939. The executor must also provide amended or supplemental Schedules A (Form 8939) in certain circumstances. For more information, see Notice 2011-66.
The Schedule A (Form 8939) that the recipient of property receives should include the following information about the property acquired from the decedent.
A description of the property.
The date the decedent acquired the property (to help determine the recipient's holding period in the property).
The adjusted basis of the property on the date of the decedent's death.
The FMV of the property on the date of the decedent's death.
The amount of Basis Increase allocated to the property.
The amount, if any, of ordinary income that would result on the sale of the property.
Generally, section 1022 determines a recipient's basis in property, but only if the property is acquired from the decedent. Generally, property acquired from the decedent includes the following.
Property acquired by bequest, devise, or inheritance, or by the decedent's estate from the decedent.
Property transferred by the decedent during the decedent's lifetime to:
A qualified revocable trust (as defined in section 645(b)(1)), or
Any other trust with respect to which the decedent reserved the right to make any change in the enjoyment thereof through the exercise of a power to alter, amend, or terminate the trust.
Any other property passing from the decedent by reason of death to the extent that such property passed without consideration.
Section 1022 does not apply to a decedent's interest in a QTIP trust or similar arrangement funded for the benefit of the decedent by the decedent's predeceased spouse. A recipient's basis in this property will not be determined under section 1022.
Generally, the executor can allocate additional basis under section 1022 (up to the FMV of the property) to property acquired from the decedent that was owned by the decedent at the time of death.
The basis of property acquired from the decedent can be increased by an allocation of Basis Increase only if and to the extent the property was owned by the decedent at the time of death.
For information about ownership, see Rules relating to ownership, in the Instructions for Form 8939.
The executor can allocate General Basis Increase (defined in General Basis Increase, later), and/or Spousal Property Basis Increase (defined in Spousal Property Basis Increase, later) to eligible property (defined earlier) but not in excess of the amount needed to increase the decedent's adjusted basis to the property's FMV as of the date of the decedent's death. The result is that, for each property, the sum of the decedent's adjusted basis in that property and the Basis Increase allocated to that property cannot exceed the FMV of that property on the decedent's date of death.
The executor can allocate Basis Increase to property owned by and acquired from the decedent on a property-by-property basis. For example, the executor can allocate Basis Increase to one or more shares of stock or to a particular block of stock rather than to the decedent's entire holding of that stock.
Basis Increase may not be allocated separately to a life estate and remainder interest in the same property.
Generally, the adjusted basis of the property in the hands of the decedent as of the date of the decedent's death is the decedent's cost or other basis, adjusted as required by sections 1016, 1017, and 1018, or as otherwise specifically provided for under applicable provisions of Internal Revenue laws.
Generally, for purposes of section 1022, the FMV of property is the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
Basis Increase is the sum of the General Basis Increase (defined below) and the Spousal Property Basis Increase (defined below).
General Basis Increase is the sum of the Aggregate Basis Increase (defined below) and the Carryovers/Unrealized Losses Increase (defined in Rev. Proc. 2011-41). However, for a decedent who was neither a resident nor citizen of the United States, the General Basis Increase is limited to the Aggregate Basis Increase (limited as described below).
Aggregate Basis Increase is $1,300,000. However, for a decedent who was neither a resident nor citizen of the United States, the Aggregate Basis Increase is $60,000.
Spousal Property Basis Increase is $3,000,000.
Generally, the executor can allocate Spousal Property Basis Increase only to qualified spousal property that was both acquired from and owned by the decedent. Qualified spousal property means:
Outright transfer property; and
Qualified terminable interest property.
For more information on outright transfer property and QTIP, see Spousal Property Basis Increase, in the Instructions for Form 8939.
For certain penalty relief related to the recipient's income tax return and computing the recipient's income tax liability, see Notice 2011-76.

to be honest things will be much clearer for him once he starts testing- it really does help you understand your own individual idiosyncracies-we are all different in responses to food.
i cant eat like otzi for example "Eat lots and lots of fruit, vegetables, and meat. He can eat sugary fruit, potatoes, rice, bananas, and other carby foods--just don't need to go overboard." carby foods increase and keep my BG high, sugary fruits particularly those high in fructose like bananaa are dreadful for me and so are rice and potato. vegetables are mostly good and most of my carbs came from veg while dieting. i also had to eat 4 times a day to keep the smoothest profile- if i left a long gap my blood sugar would drop with a resulting reflex release of glycogen that would push me up to over 200.it would stay there so when i ate next i'd already be high,
he needs to find what works for him best. for me its between 40-70g carbs 100 -120g protein while losing weight and now i'm maintaining i've stayed the same -just increased caloriesbut i want to stay in ketosis. my aim as you know was always to do this as quickly as possible- i'm at the position now where my fasting sticks around 5 and my postprandials are around 7.

Shouldn't the vbounce ruleset help here?
I'm asking because me and my users have the same problem and I am
currently considering giving the ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE a higher score
but I am not sure yet whether it's a good idea or not.
How is your experience with vbounce? Is it safe enough?

Anyone out there who raised the score of ANY_BOUNCE_MESSAGE

The online retail industry is obviously in a booming stage at the moment due to the high number of online stores starting to grab a hold of the market. Now it seems that the boom might slow a bit as Australia Post has announced that it will be increasing postage costs by up to 30%.
