If you weren't an asshat just trying to get stuff stirred up as per usual, I would remind you of the times in 2010 especially but also through the early part of 2011 where Grubb put Tony in a lot of holes and in a lot of bad spots with strategy calls, setups, etc.
Alas, you are just an asshat who's just trying to get stuff stirred up. As per usual. I almost hope Newman leaves so hopefully you'll follow.

I think they need to raid Hendricks for a new CC. They need another insider to get these car set up right. Tony also needs to chill on all the extra races and refocus on his cup ride. I'd go out testing at every track I could instead.

Many of us have been working with the Java Server Pages technology for quite some time and have become familiar with custom tags. Custom tags have made working with JSPs not only easier, but also more efficient.
If a custom tag has been created, tested, and debugged, then it only is logical that, as a developer, you want to grab the golden ring of OOD: reusable components. Working with custom tags is one avenue to explore in the world of reuse. But wouldn't it be better, more efficient, and easier if there was a set of standard tags that solved common problems? Do we really need ten different ways to iterate, or to do conditional processing?
Enter the JSP Standard Tag Library, also known as JSTL. The base design philosophy of JSTL is to provide page authors with a script-free environment. I say, bottoms up to that.
JSTL is still in early access release, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't start paying attention to it. JSTL is being developed under the Java Community Process, in the JSR-052 expert group. The purpose of JSTL is to work towards a common and standard set of custom tags. There are currently many tag libraries available for download from various vendors, as well as from open source projects such as the Jakarta Taglibs project. In fact, a JSP 1.2/Servlet 2.3-compliant reference implementation of JSTL is being hosted under the Taglibs project. You can run this reference implementation under Tomcat, but you'll need to use Tomcat 4.
Remember, this is still an early-access release, so there's always the chance that things will change slightly. The tags provided in JSTL will be able to be used within any JSP-compliant container. The advantage of using JSTL over a vendor-specific tag library is, obviously, that you won't be bound to a specific vendor's container.
Ready for a look at the wizard behind the curtain?
A tag library is a set of actions that encapsulate functionality. These tags are then used within JSP pages. JSTL provides a wide variety of functionality that can be broken down into specific functional areas. While JSTL is a single taglib, it is exposed through multiple Tag Library Descriptors (TLDs). This is done primarily for convenience (so that tags are in their appropriate functional area), but also so that each TLD can have its own namespace, or prefix. These four areas are:
Core (with a URI of http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/core and a prefix of
c): provides the core JSTL tags, such as those that perform iteration, conditional processing, and expression language support. Access tags provided in this TLD by placing
< %@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/core" %> at the top of your JSP.
XML processing (with a URI of http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/xml and a prefix of
x): provides tags that allow parsing and XSL transformation of XML documents.
I18N-capable formatting (with a URI of http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/fmt and a prefix of
fmt): provides tags that support I18N and localized formatting and parsing.
Database access (SQL) (with a URI of http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/sql and a prefix of
sql: provides tags that allow direct database access from within JSPs.
One other point to mention about the JSTL tag libraries is that there are actually two versions each of the majority of the tags. One set takes advantage of the new expression language, and the other doesn't; the tags that don't make use of an expression language use request-time expressions. This is useful if you want the flexibility provided by the standard tags but don't want to use the expression language support yet. To access these tag libraries, simply append
-rt to the end of the taglib URI like so:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/core-rt" %>
Let's take an overview look at the various tags in the functional areas outlined above.
Related Reading
Java Servlet Programming
One of core tags is
<forEach>, which provides iteration functionality: it iterates over most collections. It can be used with ranges or primitives, and it also can provide a detailed status of the iteration.
<forTokens> works like
<forEach>, except that it is applied to strings of tokens and takes an extra attribute called
delims that allows for the delimiter to be specified. You can have more than one delimiter specified.
Also in the core functional area are the conditional tags. JSTL supports a simple conditional
<if> tag along with a collection of tags such as
<when>, and
<otherwise>. These tags support mutually exclusive conditionals. By using these tags, you can implement if/else structures. In its API, JSTL also exposes the abstract class
ConditionalTagSupport, to facilitate the implementation of custom conditional tags that leverage the standard conditional behavior defined in JSTL.
Expression language (EL) support is an important feature of JSTL that we'll talk about in more detail in the next section. It is also part of the core functionality. JSTL provides a few tags to facilitate the use of expression language.
<c:expr> prints out the value of a particular expression in the current EL, similar to the way that the scriptlet expression (
<%= ... %=>) syntax prints out the value of a expression in the scripting language (usually Java).
<c:set> lets you set a scoped attribute (e.g., a value in the request, page, session, or application scopes) with the value of an expression. There is also the
<c:declare> tag. In order for JSTL tags to collaborate with custom tags that only accept
rtexprvalues, the
<c:declare> tag must be used to create a scripting variable.
While JSP supports the
jsp:include tag, this standard action is limited because it only supports relative URLs. JSTL introduces the
c:import tag, which lets you retrieve absolute URLs. You can use
c:import to retrieve information from the Web using HTTP URLs, or from a file server using an FTP URL. You are even able to specify a foreign context, and that can come in handy sometimes.
Formatting data is one of the key tasks in many JSP pages. JSTL introduces tags to support data formatting and parsing for such things as dates and numbers. Using
<fmt:bundle>, and
<fmt:message>, you can easily specify locale information for determining which resource bundles to use. These tags can also be used to support parameterized content using the
<fmt:messageArg> tag. It's possible to use these tags very easily in your internationalized applications.
Using the XML processing tags provided in JSTL, you can manipulate XML from your JSP pages. This includes document parsing using
<x:parse> and using the
<x:expr> tag to specify XPath to select content, as well as performing XSLT transformations from within your JSP pages by using the
<x:transform> tag. You can also use
<x:foreach> to iterate over XML nodes.
You can easily access relational databases using SQL actions. By using various tags available (including
<sql:update>, and
<sql:query>), you can do transaction-based database access. It is questionable, as a Java architect, why you would want to provide tags that mix presentation and data tier access. In theory, projects should be based on clean MVC architectures; however, page authors often face a different reality out there in the real world, and the need simply cannot be ignored. It is not encouraged to access the data tier in JSP pages, but if a page author must go that route (for whatever reason), doing so with a set of standard tags seems to be the lesser evil. I strongly feel that these SQL tags should only be used in prototyping or very simple applications, if at all. You really should be separating your presentation and logic tiers, especially a data tier.
One of the key features of JSTL is that it supports an expression language. An expression language leverages the fact that JSP-scoped attributes are the privileged way to communicate information from the business logic to the JSP pages. Why is this important? Well, think about how we have to do this now. If you are using JavaBeans or their properties with a custom tag, you must either have request-time expressions or make use of other functionality, such as the powerful tags that are provided with frameworks like Jakarta Struts. By using expression language in the tag, it's possible to provide values for an attribute of a tag and manipulate it in simple ways, without having to use scriptlets or request-time expression values. This sounds like something that might (or should) just be in the JSP specification, and maybe at some point it will be. But for now, it's part of the JSTL.
In order to be able to support both the scripting (
rtexprvalues) and the expression language (
elexprvalues) worlds, JSTL has the concept of twin tag libraries: one that supports the expression language, and one that supports request-time expression values. It's assumed that most developers will use the EL-based tag libraries; however, it's still possible for scripting page authors to use JSTL with
rtexprvalues. Using the
rtexprvalues will provide the benefit of type safety and performance via the request-time based tag libraries (their URI simply has the
-rt suffix appended).
The early access download contains several candidate expression languages and the expert group is looking for feedback. The goal is to select a single EL once the JSTL spec is ready for community review. Currently, ECMAScript is the default expression language being used by JSTL. ECMAScript is the standardized version of JavaScript, and behaves the same way in all applications that support the standard. Rhino 1.5, an open source Java implementation of JavaScript, is one of the supported JSTL ELs.
For example, if we assume that we have an object bound in our page called
cd, we can use a expression to get the value of the artist property.
<c:if test="$cd.artist == 'Madonna'">
Notice that the expression starts with a
$ symbol. This is because something is needed to indicate that the string should be evaluated (and is not a static string). Most of the expression languages available in JSTL make use of a special symbol (usually the
$ character) to indicate this.
It's important to note that the whole idea of expression languages is being carefully watched and evaluated by the expert group. Because of this, you should think of it as more experimental than the rest of the JSTL. The community feedback will most likely determine whether it stays in the final version of the JSTL.
It is also possible that you can use JSTL as a base for developing your own custom tags. Some abstract classes are provided that can assist with rapid development of tags and promote integration of your own custom tags with JSTLs tag set.
For instance, you can build your own custom tags that make use of the JSTL's EL mechanism. By extending
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.ConditionalTagSupport, you can write a conditional tag by simply implementing a single method that returns a boolean value corresponding with your tag's desired conditional behavior. Similarly,
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.IteratorTagSupport lets you easily implement iteration tags. The handlers for the
<forEach> and
<forTokens> tags extend this class and thus implement the
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.IteratorTag interface, which provides a well-defined mechanism for iteration tags to communicate with custom subtags you may write.
There are a number of samples provided with the
standard-examples application that might prove helpful. Not only are samples of the tags provided, but there are also samples that induce errors, so that you can get familiar with what some of the errors mean. This application is part of the early access download. You can just drop the
standards-example.war file into the
webapps directory of Tomcat and access it in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8080/standard-examples/.
With the early access release of JSTL and the reference implementation provided on the Jakarta site, there is good reason to take a few minutes and explore what's going to be available. It remains to be seen how the expression language support will play out in the community. While some might welcome it, I can see how other people might feel that it is just introducing another way to have code still involved on your JSPs. The spec was scheduled to go into public review on March 12, 2002. The more developers who have a chance to play with the JSTL before the spec is final, the better it will suit the development community. So download JSTL, give it a spin, and go have yourself a good old custom tag time.
In the next article in this JSTL series, we'll look at the practical use of some of the tags. Stay tuned.

magic & techno
This past Thursday, a magician visited the Neurosciences Institute. I heard rumblings of his presence over lunch, but I had failed to cross paths with him until I went on a hunt for the owner of some unattended, unrecognized items in the conference room. I needed to do some sound testing in that room but didn't want to inconvenience the person whose stuff was there, so find the owner I did. And I'm glad I did.
Enter Mark Mitton.
I found him in the office/lab of robotics engineer Donald Hutson, the mastermind behind the speaker apparatus for the music therapy study. After a few moments of creepily lurking in the doorway and eavesdropping on the conversation the two were having with John, I joined in the fun. Mitton's friend and NSI contact David Edelman, a Swarthmore alum, walked in the room with a handful of brown paper lunch bags and hands one to each of us. Mitton taught us how to throw up an imaginary ball and have it land in the paper bag. He even taught us how to play catch with these imaginary balls. Amazing!
Even though this was the only trick I saw Mitton do and the secret was revealed, I know that Mitton is a good magician. Between his wit, intelligence, and energy, he could outsmart the curls out of my hair! He also tends to switch from topic to topic, as one word of a conversation reminds him of story, experience, or article. His voracious thirst for knowledge combined with his composed excitement manifest with full commitment to the amazing questions, phenomena, and truths that pervade his(/our) world.
As Donald, David, John, Mark and I were tossing around the imaginary ball, we eventually started to sync up. Mitton noted that once, at a conference, a woman approached him after the ball-throwing activity saying that her partner-in-catch was exuding all kinds of good chemistry her way: he caught every ball she threw. Here, the sensorimotor experience led this woman to feel an emotional connection. Indeed, this is not an isolated incident. John mentioned a line of research in group cooperation where people are more likely to cooperate successfully in problem-solving tasks if they first tap the same rhythm together. Mitton noted his experience singing in the chorus as an undergrad, where his school's group would combine with the other two in his consortium and he would come out of the experience feeling truly connected to everyone, even the people he didn't know. (P.S. What consortium was this? None other than the Tri-Co, where Mitton was a graduate with the Haverford Class of 1982 with a B.A. in Economics. Cool!)
Appropriately, the conversation skipped to DJs, who draw upon their ability to sense, understand, and interact with the audience in a large-scale, macrocosmic version of the bag trick-induced sensorimotor effect. While many concerts are a give-and-take between artist and audience, DJ performances seem to come with greater expectations. Just as early disc jockeys spun records based on the mood of the audience or the mood they were trying to instill in the audience, current DJs like Tiesto and deadmau5 have the ability to align and extend electronic blips in ways that make overjoyed puppets out of the audience members.
For an example of what the magician was talking about and what I'm trying to reiterate here, compare the first video to the second. The first shows Nosaj Thing, an LA-based electronic and remix artist, performing a DJ set by himself in a room at the Seattle radio station KEXP. The second is a live recording of Nosaj at the Low End Theory Club in LA. There are obviously other variables aside from audience that differentiate the videos (i.e., venue and presence of video projection), but it is pretty clear how Nosaj is reacting to and manipulating the audience.

Narrowsburg sale may go to voters
Petitions signed by voters in the Sullivan West Central School District, which may force a voter referendum on the sale of the Narrowsburg School, were delivered to superintendent Dr. Ken Hilton on January 3.
According to Dick Riseling, the resident who had put in a rejected bid to purchase the school, there were 1,255 signatures opposing the sale which, according to everyone involved, is enough to trigger the referendum and, according to Riseling, is 200 more than needed.
Hilton, however, said that the signatures need to be verified and that he and the school board lawyer, John Miller, were examining the district's options.
Riseling said in an email that there is a possibility that the school board would reject the petitions because Miller had objections to the wording used.
On a separate petition, there were 638 signatures regarding the sale of the Delaware Valley School, not enough to trigger a voter referendum. Therefore, developer Ilwon Kang's bid to buy that facility for $2.3 million remains in place, and that deal will likely move forward.
Kang has said that he would possibly use the Narrowsburg School as some sort of "annex" to a larger hospitality project located elsewhere in Sullivan County. Riseling has said he would use the school as a community center with space sold to local artists or others in the community, and the building could include a creamery and commercial kitchen.
Riseling and his supporters say both bids were flawed, which should have prompted an auction as called for in the bidding procedures, but Kang and Hilton say Kang's bid was not flawed.
Hilton said there should be a determination regarding the signatures on the Narrowsburg petition in time for the next school board meeting, which is scheduled for January 6 at 7 pm at the high school in Lake Huntington.
Another issue that has arisen is whether the school board members have the right to see financial information that Kang has provided to the school's attorney regarding his ability to follow through on the purchase of the two schools.
Noel van Swol, a board member who opposed the sale of both schools to Kang, has filed a Freedom of Information Law Request to be able to see that information. Hilton said the lawyer had seen the information and he and most of the board members were convinced that Kang has deep enough pockets to purchase the school, which is all they need to know.
Van Swol wants the information to be made public so the public and the press can verify Kang's ability to move forward with the deals.

Right on track
January 23, 2013 —
WEST POINT, NY — Within each of us there resides far more strength and resolve than we could ever imagine. All that is required to unleash that powerful reserve is the right challenge and the mustering of will and perseverance to meet it head on.
For the hundreds of high school students who give their all as runners, jumpers or throwers in the unheralded indoor track season, the OCIAA Championship meet offers a golden opportunity to go against Section 9's best in an effort to achieve new personal milestones. This year's meet almost didn't happen, as it was not included in the original winter schedule. Fortunately that ill-conceived omission was reversed, and the two-day meet took place on January 18 and19, albeit with its share of imperfections, due in part to constraints of time.
To err is human and there were some foibles that detracted from this year's meet, a couple of which registered profoundly with Eldred senior distance standout Alex Campanella; more on that shortly. For kids from the smaller Sullivan County schools, medals are hard to come by against schools with far deeper talent pools. That said, the county had its share of local heroes and heroines who stated their case by garnering first through sixth place in their respective events. In addition, many more achieved personal bests either for the season or for their careers to date. Medalists included Eldred's Alex Campanella, who was first in 3200 (9:35.47) and second in the 1600. Since Campanella and Middletown's Alex Shodai lacked a seed time in the 1600, coming into the meet despite their prior stellar history in the event, they were placed in the unseeded race, thereby lacking the competition that would drive them to their fastest times. In addition, an official stepped out onto the track causing a minor collision with Campanella, whose time would eventually be 41 hundredths of a second short of the winner of the seeded race. The result is under protest. Campanella and his Eldred cohorts will head to the New York Armory this weekend for the New Balance Games where the stalwart senior will look to qualify for the storied Millrose Games in February. Teammate Julian Gottlieb was third in the unseeded 55 (7.41).

New Interview with Award-Winning Author Na'ima B. Robert on PaperTigers SiteMonday, June 17th, 2013
New on the PaperTigers site is an interview with Na'ima B. Robert, in which I asked her lots of questions about her latest YA novel Black Sheep (Janetta Otter-Barry Books, Frances Lincoln, 2013).
Set in London, Black Sheep follows the Romeo-and-Juliet-like relationship of teens Misha, a privately-educated "posh" girl, and Dwayne, a gang member living on a housing estate in Brixton. Na'ima is perceptive in portraying the deep-down vulnerability of teenagers, no matter how much bravado they show in facing day-to-day challenges – and no matter how much that bravado itself precipitates consequences that risk spiralling out of control. Black Sheep is a real page-turner and should come with a warning that once started, it's almost impossible to get anything else done!
When I asked Na'ima about her recent school visits in the UK, it was great to hear the impact Black Sheep has had:
I visited a Catholic school in North London and, apparently, the class that had been assigned the book was so into it, that they told the other classes, who begged to be assigned it as well. They totally identified with the characters and there was a sense of amazement that this life – urban, Black British life – had been portrayed in a book. We had some great re-enactments and readings together and they created portfolios that included illustrations, trailers, letters and character profiles. It was a wonderful experience and it was duplicated in the classes in a different school that read Far from Home.
So do head on over to the PaperTigers site to read the full interview and find out more about Na'ima's books and her writing, and then visit her website…

Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.

Lawyers for billionaires David Murdock and Larry Ellison outline how a promised $10 million will be spent on the island, and what Murdock will keep in the land deal.
Lawyers submitted documents to the Public Utilities Commission Wednesday, answering a slew of questions to move a step closer to transferring three of the island's major utilities.
The land deal between the two billionaires closed on June 27.
Now, Murdock is trying to complete the transfer to Ellison of Manele Water Resources, Lanai Transportation Company and Lanai Water Company.
Ellison's Lanai Island Holdings plans to spend $10,147,500 on improvements and upgrades to several wells, reservoirs, and water pipelines on the island.
Documents were also released on Wednesday outlining the sale of the island.
Several large sections and all cost estimates were blacked out, but the document revealed what Murdock plans to keep, including several properties and businesses.

Rev. George St. Angelo, beloved College Chaplain from 1955 to 1966, passed away on Sunday, March 4. St. Angelo influenced a generation of North Central alumni who were coming to terms with the issues of civil rights, social justice and service to communities outside their comfort zone. Among his many accomplishments as chaplain was inviting important speakers to campus, including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., James Farmer and Henry Kissinger. He frequently took students into Chicago to visit homeless shelters and missions and organized summer trips to Europe. St. Angelo is also known for his encouragement of students to go to Selma, AL, in 1965 to march in support of voting rights for African-Americans. It was a life-changing experience for many who attended.
"I was proud of the school—we did many important things at the time, and those kids carried with them a sense of community responsibility," St. Angelo said reflecting on the event 40 years later.
Mike Bibler '65 recalled how the trip to Selma was part of an "enlightenment" he gained from knowing St. Angelo, who arranged for students to tutor at a YMCA in Chicago. "Just going into the city opened my eyes to the African-American community," Bibler said in a previous interview. "And then going to Selma opened my eyes to a style of life I didn't know anything about."
Outside of campus, St. Angelo and his wife Betty Gibson '48 St. Angelo worked on civil rights issues at the local level, including Naperville's fair housing council and human relations council. "As we celebrated the College's 150th anniversary this year, it reminded Betty and me how fortunate we were to have met (at North Central)," wrote George in the couple's 2011 Christmas letter.
The son of two North Central alumni, George St. Angelo '21 and Lillian Salat '20 St. Angelo, George and his younger brothers, the late Gordon '50 and Douglas '53, grew up watching their parents battle the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana and challenge sundown laws that prohibited African-Americans from public overnight accommodations. St. Angelo arrived to study at North Central as World War II was sweeping Europe. Upon graduation, he joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps and was part of the U.S. troops that liberated the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1945.
After World War II, he attended Evangelical Theological Seminary and entered the ministry in 1949. When he became North Central's first "college chaplain," he delivered many memorable sermons, took charge of the newly "required chapel" speaker program and directed student religious organizations. St. Angelo also took steps to loosen strict rules against social dancing on campus.
After leaving North Central, he founded Seminars International and conducted seminars on theology, politics and social issues as a part of international tours to Israel, Egypt, China and parts of Europe.
In 2006, the College named the ministry and services offices in the newly renovated Kiekhofer Hall the Rev. George St. Angelo '43 Ministry and Service Suite.
In more recent years, St. Angelo was devoted Nazareth Academic Institute, a school dedicated to supporting organizations and individuals committed to achieving peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities in the Holy Land. He traveled frequently to Israel until his health and declining eyesight prevented further trips.
"By any measure," said President Harold Wilde, "George St. Angelo was one of the giants in the College's history. His impact on a generation of graduates in the 1950s and 1960s is still being felt in missions of social justice around the world."
The family will hold a private service this week. Before his death, St. Angelo and his family planned a public memorial service that is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, on the North Central campus.
Editor's Note: The photos of the Rev. George St. Angelo include: his appearance at a panel discussion in January 2010 commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s visit to campus in 1960; his time as chaplain at North Central College; and in 2006, at the dedication of the renovated Koten Chapel and Kiekhofer Hall.

I was just curious as to what your little ones have decided to call breastfeeding.
My oldest son only breastfeed for 6 months so never named it.
My middle son nurse for 18 months and called it Tita's.
Now my daughter who is 32 months old and still going strong(BF) calls it NUMMIES. Which I think is so cute and very helpful when in public b/c no one knows she is talking about BF so it save a big scene which I nurse her around my husband and sons, mother-in-law(ie close family) but not in public.
But now that she is older my mother-in-law says she is too old to nurse which I disagree with b/c she is happy and healthy and she is still a baby.
But I do think it is amazing how every baby has there own code word to call breastfeeding and how different they can be...they are as varied as the child theirself.

I am trying to lean how to stard solids and BF together. It sounds really simple, I know. I am scared of starting solids and having that interfere with our BF relationship. I have asked the moms at the meetings and some say... they didn't start solids untill 1 yr. and some said that... they couldn't wait, cause their baby was ready and needed more than just milk. I am ok with not starting solids now. I just don't know how to tell if she needs more.
Here is my confusion.... How do you tell your baby needs more if your body is always able to keep up. Say for an example... you could tell your baby needed more than just milk cause she was always nursing, but that could just be a growth spurt, or just liked to suckle ALOT.
And if I start solids what will happen to my supply. (or even if I start a cup) One mother told me that I am being 'protective' of my nursing with her.
I understand to nurse before solids and I know that its only for practice. But how do you know if she 'needs' it?
I guess that I am being kinda silly to most moms.... but I have never been so successful at this. I just want to keep it going for as long as she wants. I don't want to interfere with a good thing because that's what everyone else is doing (sigh) sorry so long. I am probably over thinking this...

I've spent the last 12 years studying and learning the habits of these fish. That they encounter Trout is purely coincidental. They are going through the same migration movements that nature imprinted on them from the beginning. I understand the concern but again you have to consider that these fish have proven to co exist in other tailwaters where Trout thrived (again I use Cumby as a prime example). There are as many who enjoy fishing for Striper as there are people who enjoy Trout fishing. Both are stocked. There has to be a happy median. Advocating slaughtering of any non invasive fish so that we might enjoy "sportfishing" for another is irresponsible at best, [in my opinion].

Color has very little to do with to lure selection. It's action and size is what you should be using to dictate fly/lure choice. The Cumberland River Striper are used to eating Skipjack and Shad and when available Trout.
Should we also start slitting open the bellies of the big Clinch Browns? What exactly do you think they are eating?? Fingerling on up to stocker sized Trout perhaps... Caught my largest Caney Fork Brown on a Brown Trout wiggle minnow. FWIW, I didn't cut it's belly open and spill out all the Trout it had eaten.
I've done my best to speak in a non confrontational manner on this forum. For some reason my posts are getting edited in a manor that is leading me to believe my "opinion" is not inline with those who own and operate this forum. With that I'll refrain from further comment out of respect.
Mike, I don't want anyone to stay out of the conversation. By the same token, I'd like for this not to turn into WWIII here. I've edited your posts, as well as those of others, to remove flat-out in-your-face challenges or to add in language that eliminates stating opinions as fact.
Please, I beseech you all, keep this civil. You know, it's not hard. Please, everyone, read this site rule:
6. Please reread your posts before you post them.
This should go without saying, but you might be surprised. Seriously, read your post before you post it. Think about how it reads to others, and whether it's relevant to the topic. Also, it is not cool to be intentionally offensive. Don't do it. It's also not cool to be sarcastic, "joke around" or any other form of language in order to provoke someone. Don't do it.
If you feel you are provoked, DO NOT respond. This will make you equally wrong. Instead, contact the administrator of the board or report the post via the "report post" button.
Thank you.

<(((>< In tribute to Ben, Duck Hunter extraordinaire, and man's best friend.
believe everything I read.No. I just know I'm interested in other peoples opinions. Whether I agree or not. There is always room to learn. I know every body of water is different. That's why we fish. If it was all the same it would be a fishermans nightmare.
Thats whats great about this forum. We can learn from differant people from different parts of the country.
I've caught lots of fish and none of them were the same. Now thats Heaven.
Your rivers are long diverse rivers , the clinch is not either.
Your rivers have gazillions of shad to offer alternate food sources, the Clinch has only trout.
Your rivers are stocked with stripers or the lakes downstream are, the Clinch is not nor is Melton Hill.
I think the lack of understanding lies in the lack of knowledge you possess with regards to the Clinch. Don't take that as a shot, it is not meant that way, I state that because it would be easy to assume the Clinch is similar to other rivers where the two species coexist. Simply stated the two cannot because of he lack of forage.
I wish things were different as I am almost exclusively catch and release except for a few spring crappie and Clinch stripers. I love the species, but hate their presence in 13 select miles of river. Everywhere they are fine and should be released .
This is the one bad thing about a forum, just like an email, you can't hear my tone so I think I sounded rude or condescending to you. Nothing could be further from the truth. I was just throwing it out that I don't see any dead but it certainly could be true what you read. I'm an electrical engineer, fishing is just my hobby, I wouldn't try to assert that I know anything more than you. To the contrary I can probably learn a lot from you. I'm definitely not arguing, just curious and trying to fuel the conversation. That's all. Please accept my apology if I came across that way, I'm one of those people that doesn't meet a stranger and tries not to upset anyone. Cheers!!
<(((>< In tribute to Ben, Duck Hunter extraordinaire, and man's best friend.
Mr. Anderson,
I respect your point of view and the fact you took the time to explain your viewpoint. I appreciate your input about striper and the information about other rivers in TN that have striper. However; I agree with Waterwolf in discerning the Clinch tailwater as a unique, cold-water, river. I believe there are differences in the characteristics of the Clinch River that separate it from other tailwaters in TN that contain striper. Maybe we could expand on this topic by looking at this subjectively(?) Are there differences in fishing techniques for striper on the Clinch? Is the catch-rate, size, and fishing calendar similar to other striper rivers?
I believe the increase in striper presence has been due to longer-low flow periods and water conditions that induce striper to feed/habitat in the upper tailwater. Fortunately; I believe this is cyclical and will remedy itself when the river is operated with a regular flow of CFS rates throughout the year. My only worry is that TVA's data is historical and they have changed their winter pool levels in the past decade. This will make it challenging for them to forecast Spring and Summer flows. Well; at-least until they get many years of data to increase the accuracy.
I agree that big brown trout eat trout as well. However; their physiological structure inhibits the amount of feeding they can perform. I believe the daily feeding rate of trout is about half of striper. (0.5 to 1.8% vs. 3.0-4.0% striper/ percent of body weight): suggested maintenance feeding rates for raising fish in ponds. Striper seem to have a gorging feeding behavior and can really impact the trout habitat of a short-tailwater like the Clinch River. I know very little about striper from a scientific view or as an experienced angler. Most of my opinions are based on river interactions and casual knowledge of the fish. So; I appreciate your input and respect your passion for supporting striper fishing. Also; I hope you can see that you are discussing a controversial topic on a fly fishing forum.

As far as you lerning from me, I think we can use this forum to learn period. You can take ten fisherman to the same fish and they'll all catch it ten different ways. Thats whats great about our sport.

These awards are granted to an entire unit (den or pack) rather than to an individual adult or youth member. Pursuing these recognitions can be a great way to practice teamwork and foster a sense of unity.
The National Den Award recognizes dens that conduct a quality, year-round program. Service projects, Cub Scout Academics and Sports, field trips, character development, and Cub Scout camping are areas that are emphasized. Dens earn the award as a team, not as individual den members. The recognition is a ribbon for the den flag or den doodle.
To earn the National Den Award, a Cub Scout den must
Once the requirements are completed as stated, the signed National Den Award application is sent to the local council service center where the ribbon can be obtained.
An application for the National Den Award may be downloaded from the Cub Scout forms page.
A pack can qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award certificate and streamer by planning and conducting three pack activities—one each in June, July, and August. This award can be an incentive for greater attendance at your summer pack activities.
Qualifying packs receive a colorful streamer for their pack flag. Dens with an average attendance of at least half their members at the three summer pack events will be eligible for a colorful den participation ribbon. Boys who participate in all three pack events are eligible to receive the National Summertime Pack Award pin, which they can wear on the right pocket flap of their uniform.
The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a "year-round school" (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.
An application for the National Summertime Pack Award may be downloaded from the Cub Scout forms page.
"Scouting's Journey to Excellence" is the BSA's new council performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of our units, districts, and councils. It is replacing the Centennial Quality Awards Program as a means of encouraging excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA. Please click here to learn more about Scouting's Journey to Excellence.
This emblem is a gold embroidered bar worn by boys and adult leaders of packs that have been chartered 50 years or longer. It is worn directly below the council patch, above and touching the pack numeral.
The basic purpose of the Hornaday Awards program is to encourage learning about natural resource conservation and the environment. Understanding and practicing sound stewardship of natural resources and environmental protection strengthens Scouting's emphasis on respecting the outdoors.
A Cub Scout pack may earn this award by completing a unique, substantial conservation project. At least 60 percent of registered unit members must participate. This award is granted through the Conservation Service of the BSA National Council. Packs must apply for the award through their local council.

I have stuggled for 6 months with my milk supply, and I know that my only hope of increasing it is pumping. At 2 weeks, I purchased the Medela Freestyle and found its "handsfree" function to be virtually useless, so I was stuck holding the pump and struggling to keep the flanges aligned and sealed to my breast. It took me 20-30 minutes to pump until no more milk came out, and another 5 minutes to set up. And then I would have to sterilize all the parts in preparation for the next use, which took another 10 minutes. So all together 35-45 minutes for one pumping session! A huge chunk of time with a newborn and a laudry-list of chores to be done in the house. And the "reward" after it all was about 1/2 to 3/4 oz. total breastmilk. In a typical day, I was only able to pump 2-3 times a day, and would have maybe 2 oz. of pumped milk at the end. I hated the whole process, and only pumped for less than 2 weeks.
Then, at 5 and 1/2 months, I decided to again try pumping because I felt much more educated about the process. So I splurged for a hospital grade pump, and rented the Ameda Elite. After first use, I immediately knew that, like my Medela, the flanges were too big. So I put pumping on hold while I waited for the extra parts to come in. 3 days later I had them, and was determined to pump.
I had already decided that due to my time constraints I would now only pump 10-15 minutes, and hopefully pump more frequently. So I sat down and started pumping. It took me 10 minutes to pump, plus 5-8 minutes adjusting suction, alignment, etc. And I was able to more quickly sterilize the parts thanks to some new tools I had discovered, so that took another 5 minutes. All in all, I was down to 20-23 minutes per session.
I thought for sure I could get this to work, but now - 2 and 1/2 weeks later - I can tell you I have only used my expensive machine 4 times. I simply don't know how to find the time to stop and pump 8+ times a day! It seems impossible to me.
Pumping mothers, HOW do you do it?!

The ten minute play has become an increasingly popular and widely produced theatrical form. It is an excellent way for beginning playwrights to learn the craft and for writers in any form to sharpen their skills in dialogue and dramatic structure. The compression of the short play challenges the writer to create vivid characters in tight, engaging stories.
In this workshop, after studying several examples of the form, you will learn to outline and structure your own ten minute play. After writing the play at home, you will have it read aloud in class and benefit from constructive group critique. One or more plays developed in the workshop will be presented as part of a ten minute play festival in November. Class is limited to 12 participants. All levels of experience are welcome. The workshop will be co-facilitated by Lynne Kaufman & Dyke Garrison.
NOTE: Registration limited to 12 participants. Do not register if you do not intend to participate (to the best of your ability) in all four meetings of the workshop: Wednesdays, 09/18, 09/25, 10/02, 10/09, at 7:00pm in the Creekside Room (see calendar).

Honesdale Borough Pool opens with a splash; many sponsors made it possible
June 27, 2012 —
Six months ago, it looked as if this might never happen."It looked pretty bleak back then since there was no money in the budget to open this pool," said Michael Slish, Honesdale Borough parks and recreation chairman.
"But then, after Rick and Gary Linde, owners of Leeward Construction, jumped in with the offer to do all the concrete work at the pool free, and they offered a challenge to the rest of the business community to follow their lead, it happened."
Slish added that not only the business community joined in, but also many groups and individuals followed suit with offers of money and volunteer time. He said, "This was truly a most remarkable community effort like I've never seen before." Even more remarkable was the fact that people came with food for the workers while the work was being done, Slish reported.
"We're going to put the names of donors on a plaque at the entrance of the pool," Slish said. "It took me five minutes just to read the names."
June 23 was declared Day of Appreciation. With free admission and free food, the young kids came in droves. Kids and adults crowded into the water all day long.
"The weather really cooperated," Slish noted. "We had 400 hot dogs, but we had to go for another 200. We had no idea this would be so successful. We cut down the price of admission so that as many people as possible could come."
Music at the event was provided free of charge by Triple "S" DJ Services, featuring DJs Nicky Nick and Kameron. First Alarm Security donated the hot dogs at the celebration.
"The list of sponsors is so long that you may not be able to print it," he said. "That's at a time of a poor economy. It didn't seem to stop people. And money wasn't the only thing that was raised. People donated their services and other items that added to the picture."
"There are two pieces that stand out in all this," said Scott Smith, the chairman of the borough finance committee. "One is the amazing response by the community that took us completely by surprise. The other is that we not only repaired the pool but literally restored the whole facility. The work was done by professionals and not by amateurs as had to be done in the past. We are finding out what we should be doing in maintenance, but also what we should be doing to insure the pool will remain in top shape over time."
Smith announced that because the three banks in the borough – The Dime, Honesdale National Bank and the Wayne Bank – have donated $2,500 each, the total amount raised was over $16,000.
The pool is open Monday through Friday, from12 noon to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

A Morally-Confused Marine
Last week, the Washington Post published an opinion piece by a Marine captain titled, "I Killed People in Afghanistan. Was I Right or Wrong?"
The column by Timothy Kudo, who is now a graduate student at New York University, is a fine example of the moral confusion leftism has wrought over the last half century. Captain Kudo's moral confusion may predate his graduate studies, but if so, it has surely been reinforced and strengthened at NYU.
The essence of Mr. Kudo's piece is that before he served in Afghanistan he was ethically unprepared for killing, that killing is always wrong, and that war is therefore always wrong.
–"I held two seemingly contradictory beliefs: Killing is always wrong, but in war, it is necessary. How could something be both immoral and necessary?"
The statement, "killing is always wrong," is the core of the captain's moral confusion.
Where did he learn such nonsense? He had to learn it because it is not intuitive. Every child instinctively understands that it is right to kill in self-defense; every decent human being knows it was right to kill Nazis during World War II; and just about everyone understands that if Hitler, Stalin and Mao had been killed early enough, about one hundred million innocent lives would have been saved.
How is it possible that a Marine captain and graduate student does not know these things? How can he make a statement that is not only morally foolish but actually immoral?
The overwhelmingly likely answer is that Captain Kudo is a product of the dominant religion of our time, leftism. And one important feature of the left's moral relativism and moral confusion is a strong pacifistic strain.
–"Many veterans are unable to reconcile such actions in war with the biblical commandment 'Thou shalt not kill.' When they come home from an environment where killing is not only accepted but is a metric of success, the transition to one where killing is wrong can be incomprehensible."
I give Captain Kudo the benefit of the doubt that he does not know that the commandment in its original Hebrew reads, "Thou shalt not murder," not "Thou shalt not kill." The King James translators did an awe inspiring job in translating the Bible. To this day, no other English translation comes close to conveying the majesty of the biblical prose. But the Hebrew is clear: "Lo tirtzach" means "Do not murder." Hebrew, like English, has two primary words for homicide — "murder" and "kill."
Murder is immoral or illegal killing.
Killing, on the other hand, can be, and often is, both moral and legal.
In order to ensure that no more Marines share the captain's moral confusion, the Marine Corps should explain to all those who enlist that the Bible only prohibits murder, not killing. It should further explain that killing murderers — such as the Nazis and Japanese fascists in World War II and the Taliban today — is not only not morally problematic, it is the apotheosis of a moral good. Refusing to kill them means allowing them to murder.
–"This incongruity can have devastating effects. After more than 10 years of war, the military lost more active-duty members last year to suicide than to enemy fire."
As we have seen, there is no "incongruity" here. And if so many members of the American military believe that it is so "incongruous" to kill the moral monsters of the Taliban — the people who throw lye in the faces of girls who attend school (and shoot them in the head if they're outspoken about the right of girls to an education), who murder medical volunteers who give polio shots to Afghan children and who stone women charged with "dishonoring" their families — that they are committing suicide in unprecedented numbers, we have a real moral crisis in our military.
–"To properly wage war, you have to recalibrate your moral compass. Once you return from the battlefield, it is difficult or impossible to repair it."
You only "have to recalibrate your moral compass" if you enter the military with a broken moral compass — one that neither understands the difference between murder and killing, nor how evil the Taliban is.
–"War makes us killers. We must confront this horror directly if we're to be honest about the true costs of war."
Other than the author, are there many Americans who enter the military in time of war without confronting the fact that they are likely to kill? Furthermore, it is not "war" that makes us killers; it is the Taliban. We kill them in order to protect Afghans from Taliban atrocities, and to protect America from another 9/11.
–"I want to believe that killing, even in war, is wrong."
Why would anyone want to believe that? Were the soldiers who liberated Nazi death camps "wrong?"
"The immorality of war is not a wound we can ignore."
With all respect, I would rewrite this sentence to read: "The moral confusion of a Marine captain is not a wound we can ignore."
Every American is deeply grateful to Captain Kudo for his service on behalf of his country, and on behalf of elementary human rights in Afghanistan. I have to wonder, however, why, given his belief that killing is always wrong, Timothy Kudo ever enlisted in the Marines.
On the other hand, he will fit in perfectly at NYU.

Newell: Parkersburg's mid-year revenue on track
PARKERSBURG – Mid-year revenue numbers for the city of Parkersburg are on track, but indicate little-to-no new funding for the coming year.
Mayor Bob Newell said mid-year numbers released this month show most revenue streams at or above projections.
The largest revenue stream, Business and Occupation, or B&O Tax, is slightly below projections. Of the $10 million in B&O taxes included in the 2012-13 budget, slightly more than $4.8 million, about 48.3 percent, has been collected.
Newell said those taxes were due Jan. 31, and often there is a delay in when the taxes are filed versus when the check is received.
"Those are collected quarterly," he said. "There is always a bit of a delay, and sometimes they are just late in paying, so we will continue to see that trickle in and the number go up."
Most other revenue streams are above projections. The city has collected about 52.5 percent of the more than $2.2 million budgeted for user fee revenue. Likewise about 52 percent of the sanitation fee, 52.3 percent of the fire fee and 54 percent of the police fee have been collected.
Of the nearly $3.3 million budgeted for property tax, nearly $1.7 million or 57 percent has been collected.
"It tells us the revenues are remaining flat as we predicted and as the state predicted," Newell said. "Things are certainly better in our community than they were a few years ago when this recession began, but we're not seeing any new revenues coming in."
State officials have warned of impending budget cuts upwards of 7 percent in some areas. Newell said those cuts could trickle down to the city.
"Where we would see it from the state is in the form of grants" for different projects, he said. "That money just won't be available in some cases."
An example of that is the Prevention Resource Officers (PRO) at both Parkersburg High and Parkersburg South High schools.
"Those used to be grant-funded positions," he said. "We are now paying for both of those positions. The Wood County Board of Education has graciously paid for the benefits."
But Newell said the city also has seen most of its expenses remain flat in the past year. Almost everything became more expensive during the beginning of the recession, such as salt and asphalt, but those prices lowered slightly and have now remained relatively stable.
"We'll never see those costs go down again, but for the most part they haven't gone up," he said.
The current budget for fiscal year 2012-13 is about $25.6 million. Newell said the proposed 2013-14 budget is about $26.2 million.
"Those numbers can be a bit misleading," he said. "Any kind of grants or disbursements have to be counted as revenue in your accounting. It inflates the overall number when in general your overall revenue is staying the same."
Newell said any grants or disbursements received are earmarked for specific projects and do not add to the district's general fund.
Overall, the mid-year revenue and expense numbers show the city is on track.
"It's about where we thought it would be," he said.
Parkersburg City Council will convene as the Committee of the Whole at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, starting a multi-meeting review process for the mayor's proposed 2013-14 budget.
