NWPA Outdoors Field Notes, Jan. 26
This is the final week to vote for the January Deer of the Month in the NWPA Outdoors Deer of the Year Contest.
Readers may go online and vote for one of eight deer at GoErie.com/deeroftheyear until Friday at 11:59 p.m.
After that, the January winner will be announced and then will face the October, November and December winners in the Deer of the Year voting. The 2013 Deer of the Year will be determined by a combination of public, editors' and sponsors' votes.
If you're a hunter or angler who wishes to share trophy photos but not enter the contest, you may do so in the Hunting and Fishing gallery at GoErie.com/yourphotos.
- Harbor Creek resident and pro bass angler Dave Lefebre has entered into a second fishing venture this winter.
In November, he announced he was launching Erie Ice Fishing Adventures, a guide service for serious anglers who want to ice fish.
In addition, Lefebre recently agreed to take part in ProwebLive.com, a new outfit that conducts virtual online fishing seminars. Pro anglers will present a series of seminars, starting Feb. 11 with Ott DeFoe's "Electronics for Dummies (And Not So Dummies)."
Lefebre will take his first turn March 11 when he presents "How to Go Pro and Get Sponsors." On June 3, he will conduct "Great Lakes Smallmouth From A-Z."
The PWL charges $49.99 per online seminar, but here's what the website promises for the money: "PWL combines a seminar, TV show, social media platform, and an online retailer into one compact interactive production that is sure to change the way you look at professional outdoor seminars forever ... and it's all live!"

- The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission voted Thursday to create a voluntary $1 youth fishing license and to link the revenue generated from it to programs to increase youth fishing participation.
The voluntary youth license will be available starting Saturday from all licensing agents and online through the PFBC's Outdoor Shop. With a $1 agent fee and a $0.70 transaction fee, the cost to purchase the license will be $2.70.
"Increasing youth and family participation in fishing, boating and conservation programs has always been part of our strategic plan," John Arway, Fish and Boat Commission executive director, said in a news release after the commission's quarterly meeting. "This goal responds to the fact that the percentage of children and young adults ages 6 to 15 who fished in Pennsylvania in 2010 was only 24 percent, as compared to 37 percent in 2005 and 41 percent in 1995. We want to continue to refine and develop programs to engage kids."
For every youth license sold, the PFBC will receive about $5 in federal revenue from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Sport Fish Restoration Act program, which provides funds to states based on a formula that includes the number of licenses a state sells. The commission said about 25 percent of its budget now comes from federal funding.
- Pennsylvania hunters harvested 3,510 bears in 2013, the fifth-highest total in state history, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Three of the five highest harvests have occurred in the past three years, including the record of 4,350 in 2011. In 2012, the total was 3,632 -- the third-largest harvest.
However, the Game Commission noted that large bears were the highlight of this year's harvest. Nine weighed more than 600 pounds, and 49 others weighed more than 500.
- The Pennsylvania Game Commission recently appointed R. Matthew Hough as the new executive director. He takes the place of Carl G. Roe, who retired.
Hough, who had served as the deputy executive director since 2010, has 33 years of service with the Game Commission in varying roles. He grew up in Washington County and lives in Adams County.
Hough said he plans to retire in the near future. As a result, the Board of Game Commissioners will continue its search for a candidate to serve in the post beyond Hough's interim term.

Great ninja action game
The game throws you right into the action from the beginning. It may be a little difficult if you have never played an action game before. The artistic style and graphics look gorgeous on this game for the PS3 running at 1080p. If you haven't already played previous versions of this game on other platforms, it is worth playing on the PS3 for the extra gameplay features that they added.

During an unseasonal warm spell in March I climbed to an elevated position high above Loch Leven. At this time of the year the sun sets due west over the loch and the mountains of Ardgour. Keen to avoid unwanted lens flare I waited until the sun had almost completely disappeared behind the distinctive profile of Garbh bheinn before making the exposure.

Overall Experience:
Get out as soon as you can before you turn into one of them.
Overall Experience:
Do not listen to any of these people I do not trust them.
Greek Life:
Greek life doesn't deserve to be on this campus.
Its a sham. Came here for a turf field that will not be here until after I have my first kid and a specific coach who ended up being a hell of a salesmen.
Overall Experience:
People there are care and helpful. They willing to help everyone regardless of your physical appearance.
Health & Safety:
Keep up the good work!!
Overall Experience:
School is very clique based. Jocks with jocks, and so on and so forth.
Overall Experience:
The program is great in theory. The classes are 6 week periods and involve an entire semester worth of knowledge. the program is supposed to be geared towards full time employed adults, and being such the program requires a lot of time and group projects. These are difficult to manage among varied schedules and scattered distances.
Overall Experience:
The school is good and I already have a job in the field. I am looking to obtain the degree to move upwards in the company.
Overall Experience:
I wish there was more help to get an internship
Campus Housing:
The cable tv doesn't work in my building but other than that it's fine
Overall Experience:
I wish they would help me more getting an internship in my field outside of the school
The students are involved in athletics, going to games, keeping up the spirit
Overall Experience:
There staff seems knowledgeable but they are slow at getting information out. The program I entered is described one way, but seems to not work out that way at all. There is a lot of misleading information that should have been explained before the start of classes.
Overall Experience:
Only thing that makes this place okay, are the people. Other than that, almost everything is outdated.
Overall Experience:
I like the academics here since its a small school its easy to have a relationship with your professors which means you can get help when needed and the professors here really do care about you. The down part is a lot of people go home on the weekends so it sucks for kids who live far away and cant go home for the weekend. However you can get around that because the train station is right near college which can get you anywhere in Boston which has to be my favorite thing about this college, its in a good area and you have access to any part of the city. Also you are two blocks away from the beach which is nice if the weather is nice enough for you.
Off-Campus Dining:
Mostly cheap fast food or Chinese
Party Scene:
Lots of non alcohol and music clubs around in city just off the T
Some professors are extremely hard to get along with. Others re great and go well beyond their job as a professors
Scholarships are kind if present at ENC but even more present if you're Nazarene or a pastors child...
Campus Food:
Lot of same food in caf. More variety in grab and go area not in cafe
a little better than highschool sports
nazzy rules enforced by adminstrators who treat students like they are children. (rather than teach them responsibility)
Off-Campus Dining:
chinese or some kind of asian food. and KFC
some really good profs but also some profs who let anyone pass their classes cuz the school needs enrollment

One player to watch for each AFC West team in Week 5;
Denver Broncos, center Dan Koppen: He probably never thought he'd be in this situation but Koppen is going to New England as Peyton Manning's center. For many years, Koppen snapped the ball for Tom Brady but was signed by Denver after Week 1. He took over the starting job after Broncos center J.D. Walton broke his ankle against Oakland. He is expected to be out for the season.
Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Matt Cassel: We're keeping this one simple. Cassel is on the hot seat after throwing three interceptions last week against San Diego as the Chiefs fell to 1-3. If Cassel falters against Baltimore, the calls for his benching will become even louder. He must step up.
San Diego Chargers, receiver Robert Meachem: The Chargers offense needs a boost and Meachem needs to step up when they travel to face his former team, the Saints. He signed a lucrative contract with San Diego this offseason. Meachem has not done much for the Chargers. He has six catches and he has been shut out in two games. Facing his former team is a perfect time for Meachem to start paying off for San Diego. Overall, San Diego's receivers aren't producing. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Sam Diego receivers have 30 catches and 75 yards after the catch, which are both last in the NFL.
Oakland is on its bye this week.

I am always looking for the next step, a different world to go into, areas where I have not been before. Its lonely driving a Grand Prix car, but very absorbing. I have experienced new sensations and I want more. That is my excitement, my motivation. Starkly con...

Biography of Albert Camus
Albert Camus (November 7, 1913 (birth time source: Didier Geslain) January 4, 1960) was an Algerian-French author and philosopher. Although he is often associated with existentialism, Camus preferred to be known as a man and a thinker, rather than as a member of a school or ideology. He preferred persons over ideas. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked.... (Les Nouvelles litteraires, November 15, 1945). Camus was the second youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature (after Rudyard Kipling) when he received the award in 1957. He is also the shortest-lived of any literature laureate to date, having died in a car crash only three years after receiving the...

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (October 16, 1854 November 30, 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and short story writer. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of "gross indecency". The scholar H. Montgomery Hyde suggests this term implies homosexual acts not amounting to buggery in British legislation of the time....

Previously a New Deal Democrat, Reagan became a Republican in 1962. During his work for General Electric Theatre, he began to articulate the political themes that would carry him into the California Governorship, which he won in 1966. He later made two presidential bids: the first, uns...

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently
reported that more than one half of the union members in the
labor force work for government. In fact, 41.1 percent of the
government workforce is represented by unions, compared to just 8
percent in the private sector. In the nonpostal federal service,
approximately 61 percent of the workforce was represented by unions
in 2001 (the latest year for which data are available); about 80
percent of the eligible employees were represented by labor
Most federal managers, therefore, must deal with a
union-represented workforce. To improve labor-management relations
in the federal service, President Obama issued Executive Order
(E.O.) 13522 on December 9, 2009. Reminiscent of former President
Clintons labor-management partnership edict of October 1, 1993,
Obamas order links labor-management relations to the goal of
improving agency performance.
Executive Order 13522
Titled Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of
Government Services, E.O. 13522 mandates the creation of such
forums throughout the federal service to involve unions in making
decisions to improve productivity and save money. The order has
significant practical implications for federal managers and the
union representatives in their agencies.
New Policy
E.O. 13522 consists of five sections. Section 1 sets the policy and
its underlying rationale: The purpose of this order is to establish
a cooperative and productive form of labor-management relations
throughout the executive branch. Eliciting labors involvement
provides an essential source of frontline ideas and information
about the realities of delivering government services to the
American people. Cooperative forums will promote satisfactory labor
relations and improve the productivity and effectiveness of the
federal government.
New Council
Section 2 of the order establishes the 17-person National Council
on Federal Labor-Management Relations (Council). Co-chaired by the
director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the
deputy director for management of the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), it includes seven union representatives, nine
management officials, and one neutral.
It is charged to advise the president on labormanagement relations;
support the creation of labor-management forums in the various
departments and agencies of the executive branch; develop measures
and metrics to evaluate these forums; and develop innovative ways
to improve government performance.
Labor-Management Forums
Section 3 requires agency and department heads to establish
labor-management forums at appropriate levels in their respective
agencies to help identify problems and propose solutions to better
serve the public and agency missions. It enables employeesthrough
their union representativesto pre-decisional involvement in all
workplace matters to the fullest extent practicable, regardless of
whether the matters are negotiable subjects of bargaining under the
Federal Service Labor Management Relations Statute (FSLMRS Title
VII of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act; U.S.C. 7106).
Agency and department heads are also required to submit plans on
how they will conduct a baseline assessment of labor-management
relationsin their agencies; establish labor-management forums; and
develop metrics to monitor improvements in areas such as
labor-management satisfaction, productivity gains, [and] cost
These plans are to be submitted to the council for approval within
90 days of the issuance of the executive order. The council must
review and approve or reject the plans within 30 days of receipt.
Rejected plans need to be revised within the next 30 days. Thus,
agencies and departments with union representatives must have
certified plans in place within 150 days of the order.
Pilot Projects
Section 4 provides for the establishment of several pilot projects
on the negotiation of so-called permissive items under the FSLMRS.
Section 7106(b)(1) of that statute grants agencies the authority to
elect to negotiate items pertaining to the numbers, types, and
grades of employees or positions assigned to any organizational
subdivision, work project, or tour of duty, orthe technology,
methods, and means of performing work.
The order charges the council to develop recommendations on
establishing and evaluating these pilots within 150 days of its
issuance and to make an evaluative report to the president no later
than 18 months after the implementation of the pilots.
General Provisions
Section 5 is a set of general provisions that protects existing
collective bargaining agreements; the authority of agency and
department heads under law; and the functions of the director of
OMB with respect to budgetary, administrative, or legislative
proposals. It also states that the order does not create any right
to administrative or judicial review.
Joint Memorandum
On January 29, 2010, OPM Director John Berry and OMB Deputy
Director for Management Jeffrey D. Zients issued a joint memorandum
to agency and department heads on Follow-Up on Executive Order
concerning Labor-Management Forums. It reiterated the requirement
that these heads submit their plans to implement labormanagement
forums (LMFs) to the council by March 9, 2010, for review and
certification by May 8, 2010.
The memorandum instructed heads to include three basic elements:
Executive Order 13522 is an important opportunity to improve the
quality of labor-management relations and tie such relations to
agency performance. The devil, as always, is in the details, and we
encourage the parties to pay careful attention to how they
establish and conduct their LMFs.

Ergo Proxy: Volume 1
- Directed by Shukou Murase
===Story=== In a future where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear apocalyse, there exists salvation in a domed city named "Romdeau", where humans and their android servants, the autoreivs, live in. Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Real Mayar, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdeau. ===DVD Features=== * Keywords of Ergo Proxy * Behind the Scenes * English Staff Interview * Clean Opening * Galleries * Trailers

In their recent article, Hong et al1 reported heritabilities of auditory sensory gating. As they defined it in their article, heritability reflects the proportion of overall variability in a trait in a population that results from additive genetic effects. Within human populations, such estimates have traditionally relied on special relationships that can (with some well-understood limitations) disentangle genetic from familial-environmental effects. The most popular of these methods have been twin studies comparing monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs and various adoption designs.

on November 10, 2010 - 12:01 AM
LONDON -- Scotch whisky exports rose 17 percent in the first half of 2010 as consumers in markets including the U.S. and South Korea bought more expensive spirits.
Exports rose in nine of the top 10 export markets by value, including South Korea, where sales soared 69 percent, the Scotch Whisky Association said. Shipments to Greece declined due to "tough economic conditions." Whisky sales were driven by the United States, the No. 1 market by value and No. 2 by volume, where revenue increased 34 percent and volume rose 21 percent.
The volume of shipments to Thailand and India increased 79 percent and 36 percent, respectively, as consumers in emerging markets drank more Scotch.
Diageo Plc, the world's biggest distiller, reported a "modest improvement" in price and sales mix in the three months ended Sept. 30, signaling consumers were starting to pay more for spirits after trading down during the recession. The company makes the world's biggest Scotch whisky brand, Johnnie Walker.
Pernod-Ricard SA, maker of The Glenlivet single malt Sotch whisky, reported revenue growth of 17 percent in the first quarter compared with volume growth of 10 percent.

About NHC
Nick Hamon Casting (NHC) was formed in Melbourne in 1998. Originally a one man band with a small, but loyal client list, NHC has grown to become one of Australia's most respected boutique casting offices employing three full time staff.
By regularly checking out local theatre, film screenings, comedy nights and Aussie TV shows our casting radar is always switched on. Luckily for us we love what we do!
Nick established NHC after a 7 year apprenticeship with one of Melbourne's industry stalwarts. Starting off as the lunch boy (no – not a rent boy or a cabin boy….), Nick learned all parts of the business from reception and administration through to client management and, of course, casting. At age 26 he decided it was time to see if he could make it on his own and started NHC. Within the first couple of months Nick landed a 52 part children's series for a major network – a not insubstantial feat for someone just starting out!
In the 17 years since, NHC has gone on to cast thousands of TV commercials and numerous TV projects and feature films. In addition, Nick became one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Casting Guild of Australia (CGA) – a not-for-profit organisation that represents the interests of casting directors within the industry. Nick was Vice President of the CGA from 2013 t0 2016. Nick credits NHC's success on the quality of the clients and people he's worked with over the years, a passion for the industry and his winning smile!
Megan's casting career began in 2000 and since that time, apart from some breaks to travel and raise her young family, has been at NHC ever since. Originally intended to be a summer job before heading back to uni, Megan was surprised to find that she loved working in the industry and decided to stay – much to Nick's relief!
Over the years Megan has cast numerous advertising campaigns and has always had very loyal and dedicated clients. She has worked with Nick on casting the feature films Thunderstruck, Razzle Dazzle, Blame, I Love You Too and Red Hill and more recently cast a Southern Star TV pilot. Megan is also a proud member of the (CGA).
Originally from Far North Queensland, Amy is a trained dancer who was drawn to Melbourne to continue her dancing career. Amy's early career saw her working at a Performing Arts School in Melbourne before landing her present gig at NHC in 2010. Her first job was street casting a Tennis Australia job. From then on she was hooked. Since that time Amy's worked on hundreds of TV commercials and has assisted Nick on TV projects including The Divorce (ABC), Open Slather (Foxtel) and It's A Date (ABC).
Now that Amy has officially completed her apprenticeship, she is now a Casting Director and proud member of the Casting Guild of Australia (CGA).

Maikel Franco bashed his 29th homer Saturday afternoon, a day that was noteworthy because the Phillies' top prospect played a new position. He moved across the diamond to start at first base for the first time in his career.
"It's just to give him another position he could go to," assistant general manager Benny Looper said. "His bat is coming quick, it looks like. He's probably going to be limited to third or first. He's never played first, so we wanted to break him in and see if that's a possibility."
The Phillies believe third base is Franco's future, although some scouts have questioned his ability to stick there. Franco turns 21 on Monday. His potential value is highest at third, a position that has lacked stability in the Phillies organization for a decade.
