text: My 9 month old has been excusively breast fed. I have pumped since returning to work and she has only ever had breast milk. I am wanting to get her off of the bottle. She is taking a sippy cup very well but still is on the bottle for at least a couple of feedings. She only nurses when I have the day off and also at night. My question is, over the next few months I would like to transitition her to regular cows milk and off of the breast. I would like to only nurse her at night.....my question is does the body allow for that?? Could I slowly stop pumping during the day and allow her to nurse at night only? Will my body continue to produce milk?

Orkney's pension fund lands a big investment catch
Councils in Orkney, the Isle of Wight, and the City of London have some of the best-performing pension funds in the country, while the funds for local-authority workers in Bedfordshire, Clwyd and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham are among the worst.
Across the UK, local-government workers' funds are run by 101 separate authorities. According to a survey of 81 of these authorities compiled by WM Company, a division of State Street; supplemented by Financial News research into the other 20, the best-performing fund during the 12-month period to March 31 2013 was the Orkney Islands Council Pension Fund.
With a return of 17.9% for the financial year, the £223 million Orkney fund beat much bigger funds with much bigger management teams.
Gareth Waterson, head of finance at Orkney Council, said the fund's returns were down to sticking with a relatively simple investment strategy. The fund has just one asset manager – Edinburgh-based Baillie Gifford – and invests about 75% in global equities, and 25% in a "diversified growth" fund.
He added: "Most larger pension funds diversify across a number of managers – we are benefiting from the fact that we are possibly slightly more risky in having only one manager, but one that is performing exceptionally well."
The Orkney fund has outperformed its internal targets over longer periods as well. Waterson said that as of the end of December, the fund had made a 20.9% return against 15% for its benchmark over 12 months, 10.1% against 7.6% for three years, and over the past five years, the fund is up 14.5% against 11.1%.
Waterson also said the fund had benefited from diversifying its investment strategy in 2011, giving Baillie Gifford a broader remit to invest in global stocks rather than primarily in the UK, and allocating to the Diversified Growth Fund.
Other top-performing funds in the WM rankings included the Isle of Wight Council pension fund, the London Borough of Bromley's pension fund, Dorset County Council Superannuation Fund and the City of London Corporation's Pension Fund, all of which made over 16.7% on their money during the period.
Two of the funds at the other end of the table are special cases. The £12.6 billion Greater Manchester Pension Fund is split into two – a main scheme, with £12.3 billion under management and a £330 million "Designated Fund" which is earmarked for local employers whose workforces are largely retired. As a result, it invests exclusively in cash and UK government bonds, leading to its return for the year of 4.2%.
The Greater Manchester Pension Fund's main fund reported returns of 14.5% during the period, ahead of the weighted-average return in WM Company's survey of 13.8%, and placing it in the top third of the rankings.
The Environment Agency's £120 million Closed Pension Fund is also a special case. A legacy scheme for former employees of the UK's regional Water Authorities, abolished upon water-industry privatisation in 1989, it invests solely in long-dated gilts and is supported by grant-in-aid payments from central government.
According to its annual report, its portfolio returned 10.8% during the 12 months to March 31 2013, but WM Company's figures reported its return as 10.5%. The Environment Agency's Active Fund, its principal scheme, returned 14.2% during the financial year, again ahead of the local-authority average.
Neither the Environment Agency, nor the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, were available for comment late last week.
The bottom performer among the mainstream council funds was the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham's pension fund, which returned 9.6% on its money during the 12-month period – behind its own target of 10.8%. A spokesman for the council said this was due to a variety of factors, including underperformance by its fund managers and the transition of money between investments during the period.
The spokesman said the £636 million pension fund had "one particularly poor-performing equities manager and one poor-performing property manager" during the period, "neither of whom hold those mandates with the fund now".
The spokesman didn't disclose the names of the firms he was referring to. But according to Barking and Dagenham's pension-fund report for 2012/3, "an actual negative return came from the Fund's property manager, RREEF, with underperformance relative to benchmarks from [equity manager] AllianceBernstein."
An AllianceBernstein said it was the firm's policy not to comment upon potential client matters. A spokesman for RREEF, a unit of Deutsche Bank, declined to comment.
The Barking and Dagenham council spokesman said: "The fund has undergone substantial change in the last 18-24 months and this period captures the end of that previous asset allocation and set of fund managers. The performance in that period was disappointing and that is a major factor in why such substantial change was made."
The remaining two funds in the bottom five, the Bedfordshire Pension Fund and the Clwyd Pension Fund, both have less money allocated to equities than is usual for local-government schemes, with the aim of controlling investment risk. This is reflected in lower internal targets – Bedfordshire had a target for 2012/3 of 9.6% while Clwyd's was 9.2%, and both outperformed these benchmarks.
According to Clwyd's annual report for last year: "We have a more diversified investment strategy than most LPGS funds with fewer of our assets allocated to equity risk … ideally we would have increased our allocation to equities during the year but, at the time, there did not seem to be a fundamental case to take action. As stated by our Independent Adviser/Consultant in his annual report, 'as always, hindsight is a wonderful thing'."
A spokesman for Bedfordshire County Council did not respond to a request for comment on Friday. A spokeswoman for Flintshire County Council, which administers the Clwyd fund, said the annual report "fully explained the reasons for the comparative performance."
UPDATE: This story was updated on Monday February 3 at 12.00 noon with new information on the 20 council pension funds not covered by WM Company's survey, on the performance of the Greater Manchester and Environment Agency's main funds, and on the performance of AllianceBernstein and RREEF at the Barking and Dagenham Pension Fund.

It Jorv Do Look Good!
Jorv Gavic had a problem we all wish we had: no room at home for all his hot rods and trucks. His solution was to buy a building and turn it into his own personal shop. It turned out to be a great "weekend hideaway" for working on projects and lacked only one thing-a shop truck.
That lack was remedied faster than expected.
"One morning upon getting into the office, I turned on the computer to check on an eBay truck auction that was about to close. There was a new listing I'd not seen before, with a Buy It Now price option so low it had to be a mistake-and a phone number in my area code. It was 7 a.m., too early to call, but I couldn't resist. He answered on the first ring and couldn't believe the ad had already posted-he'd just hit the button. After some questions to break the ice, I cautiously asked if he'd reviewed the ad to ensure that all the information was correct (including the price). He said that he had, so I replied, 'I just accepted your Buy It Now price.'"
The truck, located only 19 miles from Jorv's shop, was a '37 Ford fire truck, complete with hoses and sirens. Like most fire trucks, it had low miles (less than 5,000), and had been stored indoors and carefully maintained. With the exception of the faded original paint-and a small crinkle in the grille shell-it was rust free, dent free, and perfect. The flathead started right up.
Within days, Jorv had the truck completely dismantled. He kept the cab, hood, grille shell, and some of the fire truck stuff, and sold everything else for more than twice what he'd paid. With the '37 in pieces and every painted surface chemically stripped to rust-free sheetmetal, Jorv got busy building. One day, a man and wife rode up on a Harley-Davidson. Dale and Tammie Zahorik had seen the activity through the open doors of Jorv's shop and wanted to check out the hot rods. The resulting friendship between Jorv and Dale (who happens to be a talented welder) is the reason the truck looks like it does today, Jorv admits.
Dale and Jorv worked together to build the box, using stake pockets and a stock tailgate from Mac's Antique Auto Parts. The side panels were extended to cover the 'rails. Pipe was cut in half and welded in place to finish the axle openings on each side and a rear roll pan was added below the tailgate. Jorv and Dale installed the bed floor and Tammie did the finish work on the white oak; the polished stainless strips are from Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts. The cab and hood have been kept unmodified. The sheetmetal was so pristine, the only work needed (besides filling the radiator neck hole and straightening some grille shell bars) was pre-paint prep. Dan Rhy sprayed the PPG single stage paint. Red 16- and 15-inch steelies with V8 caps and rings from Bob Drake provide contrast to the green and roll on 7.50-16 bias-ply whitewall rears and 165-series front radials from Coker.
The '36 tudor sedan frame has been boxed and beefed up with new mounts and a modified X-member and new rear crossmember. It's shortened in the rear, and extended and formed into the lower grille shell in front. The 4-inch dropped I-beam, front split wishbones, '37 replacement spindles, springs, and Posies shocks are new parts. The rear suspension includes Posies ladder bars and shocks, plus transverse springs. The Granada rearend runs 3.18:1 gears. Brakes are Ford disks and drums.
Bob Brinkman in Menomonie, Wisconsin, used dark-green vinyl to cover the rebuilt fire truck bench seat. Vintage-looking 5-inch gauges from Classic Instruments fill the dash, with a tach on the chrome ididit steering column. The old-style four-spoke wheel came from Jorv's shop. The signal box and tall Lokar shifter complement the theme.
That's no flathead motor, but a '50 F-1 flathead air cleaner was modified for the Edelbrock 4V carb and manifold. The 0.030-over Chevy 350 was built by Dave Steine at Tri Star Engine Supply. Other old-style stuff includes a Delco-Remy "window" distributor (points and coil ignition), and a pair of lakes pipes, scratch-built by Jorv and Dale. The small-block is backed with a Turbo 350 transmission.
After "21/2 years worth of weekends" the former fire truck was finished four days before the Back to the '50's Weekend in St. Paul, where CCT editor John G. spotted it and shot it for this feature. It doesn't get much fresher than that, and the story of Jorv's homebuilt half-ton highboy is just beginning.

The IPC10 Python Gatheringby Mark Lutz, author of Programming Python, 2nd Edition
This year's Tenth International Python Conference (IPC10) served up the usual smorgasbord of cutting-edge Python applications and technology. Despite the economy, over 250 people gathered just outside Washington, D.C. to glimpse the future, exchange notes, and reaffirm remote friendships.
As usual, the conference provided a full day of tutorials, two days of presentations, and a final day aimed at Python developers. There were also assorted BOFs in the evening, conference T-shirts (which, of course, flaunted this year's winning conference slogan: "import this"), and a remarkably full Python book display. By my count, there are over 30 Python books today, with more in the works; I try to keep a list here.
I've been attending Python conferences since the early days, when a few dozen people gathered in one small room. Since then, the conferences have grown to become pivotal events on the Python landscape. Some people come to plan, some to learn, and some to hatch business ideas. For my part, I have always found IPCs useful as both a sneak peek at the Python forefront and a chance to touch base with old friends and comrades, many of whom I meet in the flesh only once a year.
As always, the biggest downside of IPCs is the inevitable frustration of having to choose which talks to attend. This year, there were separate and parallel tracks on Python tools, Web services, Zope (a Python-based Web application framework), and assorted refereed papers. It's all good stuff, but between talking with friends and hopping between rooms, it's never possible to take in as much as I'd like.
What I did manage to see, though, made it clear that the Python community is as fervent as ever. Among the topics of talks I attended:

Python & XML
What I did not see could fill many more pages. Due to other commitments (mostly Python training), I managed to miss most of the Zope and Web services tracks; the keynote addresses by Andrew Koenig and World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee; Guido van Rossum's State of Python address on Developer's day; and far too many interesting talks to list here. Alas; maybe by next year there will be a PyClone project in the works.
I also missed the Frank Willison Award presentation. Frank was my editor and friend, and a key figure behind Python's success. It's heartwarming to know that his legacy will be remembered this way. More details on this year's award are available in O'Reilly's press release.
If you are interested in a sampling of what Pythonistas are up to lately, be sure to see the sessions list at the conference Web page. An IPC10 memorabilia page, with talk slides and photos, is also springing up. Be sure to see the photo of Python's Very Serious Leader Guido van Rossum near the bottom.
In lieu of further technical details (which I really don't have anyhow), I'd like to pass along a few general impressions. Besides formal presentations, conferences are also a reasonable way to measure the mood of the Python community. I won't pretend to speak for everyone, of course, but a few common threads seemed to be discernable as I moved among the Python huddles in the hall.
First, and foremost to me, there is a tangible "back to work" mindset in the Python world at large. People are busy having fun with Python again, whether they are getting paid for it or not. Really, there never was much of a pause. Most of what happens in Python has always been a labor of love, and so Python is by and large immune to Wall Street shenanigans. At any rate, there was much optimism to be had at this IPC.
Second, there seems to be a sort of returning to the basics, both in terms of technology and philosophy. Technologically, classic Python scripting applications, which wed Python with other components, seem to be back in vogue. Stand-alone Web systems are still important, and there was an entire track devoted to this topic at the conference. But Python never was just a Web language. For many developers, general-purpose programming and integration have reclaimed their places in the limelight.

Philosophically speaking, it's encouraging to see that the recent economic slowdown may also have had a positive effect on quality of craft. Much of the Web sprung up in a frenzy, with inevitable shortcuts and hacks. But times have changed. More than one attendee told me that he or she was glad to have time to do careful development again. Developers with time to do things right have a way of shaping the future, so watch for silver linings.
Finally, an intangible. Among the Python old-timers I cornered, there is also a noticeable satisfaction with where Python has come so far. When I first started going to these gatherings, Python was little more than a dream of quality shared by a handful of idealists. Python may not rule the world just yet, but the impact of those early ideas is more apparent than ever. As evidenced by the breadth of topics at IPC10, Python has taken hold across the board. It continues to attract interest as a language where things like quality, simplicity, and productivity, matter as much as raw utility. Especially in lean times, Python is still the right answer to many questions.
The next Python conference in the U.S. is being held by O'Reilly this summer in conjunction with the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. For details, see the python.org page. If you're doing something interesting with Python, I encourage you to come and share it with others. I'll be there, and I might be asked again to report on the many amazing things I will most certainly miss.
Mark Lutz is the world leader in Python training, the author of Python's earliest and best-selling texts, and a pioneering figure in the Python community since 1992.

My DD is 17 months old. I am proud to say I've nursed her for over a year but now I want to wean her. (the reasons are more selfish but 18 months is AWESOME in my opinion)
I've been reading a lot of posts and the book "How Weaning Happens", but I have no confidence that she's going to wean smoothly. It's like she's "addicted".
She still night nurses. (doesn't help that we co-sleep half the night) When she's in bed with us, she wakes up frequently and cries and cries if I don't nurse her. It's keeping my husband up and driving me crazy.
We're attempting this: put her in the crib like usual at 8pm. When she wakes up for the first time (usually around 11:30pm), I'll nurse her and then my DH will put her back in the crib. If I try to do this, she cries and cries.
We're working on stopping co-sleeping. Which is hard enough....
But as far as the actually wanting to wean, she's very scheduled. She nurses round the clock in the middle of the night. Doesn't nurse in the morning before daycare. Drinks cow's milk at daycare. But once we're home, she wants to nurse immediantly. Then maybe once or twice more before bedtime.
We've tried distraction but she's just keeps coming back. If I even offer her a sippy of cow's milk, she literally THROWS it across the room.
Quite frankly, I just want to be done nursing. 18 months is enough for me. I'm very proud of myself for doing it so long.
I just need some advice on what to do....where to start? HELP!
She turns 18 months on the 18th....that's about when I want to stop. So less than two weeks...well maybe by the end of the month!

- Abstract
- A mathematical model concerning the separation selectivity of basic analytes in chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) modified with negatively charged cyclodextrins (CDs) has been presented to describe the dependence of chiral selectivity on the buffer pH and the chiral selector concentration. The electrophoretic method to determine the parameters of the model has also been developed. The model has been tested with racemic epinephrine and isoproterenol as target analytes and sulfonated P-CD as chiral selector. The agreements have been found between the calculated and the measured values. Some significant conclusions to optimize chiral CE separation have been derived from the model and proven by the experiments. Electrochemical detection was used to meet the requirement of the low introduced concentration of analytes.

VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell
In part two of this book excerpt series on the .NET Framework Class Library from O'Reilly's VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell, get an introduction to the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL).
The .NET Framework includes the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL), a vast collection of thousands of types (that is, of classes, interfaces, structures, delegates, and enumerations) that aim at encapsulating the functionality of core system and application services in order to make application programming easier and faster. There are classes that you can use to manipulate the file system, access databases, serialize objects, and launch and synchronize multiple threads of execution, to name just a few.
To make working with these classes easy, classes with similar functionality are grouped together in namespaces. Therefore, there is a namespace containing types for drawing, a number of namespaces for .NET remoting, etc. In fact, the "intrinsic" functions of the Visual Basic language (such as InStr, Len, and UBound) are implemented as class methods in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. In total, the .NET FCL places more than 80 namespaces at your disposal.
The .NET FCL includes classes with the following functionality:
Some members of the System namespace, such as the Object, String, Int32, and Single classes, form the data types used by Visual Basic .NET (as well as by other .NET languages that rely on the .NET Common Type System).
When an exception is generated, the CLR provides exception information to the Exception class (in the System namespace) or to one of the derived classes found throughout the .NET FCL.
The signature of event handlers is represented by the EventHandler delegate (in the System namespace) or one of its derived delegates. The event information passed to an event handler is represented by the EventArgs class (in the System namespace) or one of its derived classes.
Attributes allow custom items of information about a program element to be stored with an assembly's metadata. Since this information becomes a permanent part of the program element's description, it is always available and can be used to modify the design time, compile time, or runtime behavior of a program element. Attributes are classes derived from the Attribute class (in the System namespace) or one of its derived classes found throughout the .NET FCL.
The .NET FCL features a number of general-purpose and more specialized collection classes. The general-purpose classes include the Array class (in the System namespace) and the ArrayList and CollectionBase classes (in the System.Collection namespace). Specialized classes include the Stack class, a last-in, first-out structure, the Queue class, a first-in, first-out structure, in the System.Collection namespace, and the ListDictionary class, a linked list dictionary class, in the System.Collection.Specialized namespace.
The .NET FCL provides full support for custom Windows and web controls that integrate with design-time environments like Visual Studio through a number of classes, including the Container class in the System.ComponentModel namespace or the CollectionEditor class in the System.ComponentModel.Design namespace.
Using the .NET FCL, you have easy access to application configuration information from configuration files using classes such as AppSettingsReader and DictionarySectionHandler in the System.Configuration namespace. You can also access registry data using the Registry, RegistryHive, and RegistryKey classes in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. Finally, you can access ActiveDirectory information using the members of the System.DirectoryServices namespace.
The .NET FCL makes a large number of debugging, diagnostic, and informational classes available that can help in locating and fixing bugs, as well as in improving overall performance. These include the Debug, Debugger, EventLog, and PerformanceCounter classes in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell
The FCL provides a full set of graphics objects, such as the Color structure, the Brush class, the Font class, and the Graphics class in the System.Drawing namespace.
The FCL allows you to read the standard input, standard output, and standard error streams, as well as to access the file system, through classes like File, FileInfo, StreamReader, and StreamWriter in the System.IO namespace.
Through the Type class in the System namespace and classes like Assembly, Module, EventInfo, MethodInfo, and ParameterInfo in the System.Reflection namespace, the .NET FCL provides support for reading metadata (the data that describes particular program elements) at any time.
Through classes such as ObjRef, RemotingConfiguration, and RemotingServices in the System.Runtime.Remoting namespace, the .NET FCL adds support for remoting (calls that cross process or machine boundaries).
Interestingly, in the .NET Framework, strings are immutable. This means that simple operations such as string concatenation involve an enormous performance penalty. The StringBuilder class in the System.Text namespace makes it possible to perform string concatenation efficiently. The RegEx and Match classes in System.Text.RegularExpressions make it possible to perform regular expression searches on strings.
In previous versions of Visual Basic, threading was a factor that enormously impacted VB applications but over which the VB developer had no control. With classes like Thread, Mutex, and Monitor in the System.Threading namespace, the .NET FCL for the first time places threading under the direct control of the VB.NET developer.

The .NET FCL features a brand new data access technology, ADO.NET. It is represented by classes like the DataSet class in the System.Data namespace, the OleDbConnection, OleDbCommand, and OleDbDataReader classes in the System.Data.OleDb namespace, and the SqlConnection, SqlCommand, and SqlDataReader classes in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.
The forms and controls that made Visual Basic the premier Rapid Application Development package for Windows have their equivalent in the .NET FCL. These classes, such as the Form class, the Button class, and the TextBox class, are found in the System.Windows.Forms namespace.
In addition to Windows controls, the .NET FCL features two sets of controls for web application development. HTML server controls execute on the server but otherwise correspond more or less directly to standard client-side HTML controls. They are found in the System.Web.UI.HTMLControls namespace. Web controls (also known as ASP controls) are server controls that abstract the functionality of controls in a web application. They are found in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.
A web service is simply a function call over the Internet. The .NET FCL supports the development of web services through the types in the System.Web.Services namespace.
As you can see, the functionality offered by the .NET FCL is extensive--and in this overview of the .NET FCL, we've only emphasized the highlights.
In the next installment, learn to work with the .NET FCL.

Although the majority of homeowners purchase insurance for their home, when it comes to renters, only 65 percent have renters insurance, according to a poll conducted for the Insurance Information Institute.
The number of renters is steadily increasing. According to an April 2013 U.S. Census report, the share of housing occupied by renters rose to 35.4 percent in 2013 – up from 34.1 percent in 2009. And in some of the country's largest cities, renters significantly outnumber homeowners.
In New York City, 69 percent of households rent their homes, followed by Los Angeles (61.8 percent), Chicago (55.1 percent) and Houston (54.6 percent).
"One of the biggest insurance problems after Sandy was the large number of renters who did not have coverage for their homes," pointed out Jeanne M. Salvatore, the I.I.I.'s consumer spokesperson and senior vice president. "It can be extremely expensive to have to re-buy the entire contents of your home, so a renters insurance policy provides very important financial protection when there is a hurricane or other covered disaster."
Renters insurance is relatively inexpensive. The average renters insurance policy costs $185 per year in 2010 (the latest year this data is available), according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, renters insurance covers your belongings against losses from fire or smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft, explosion, windstorm and water damage – for example, if an upstairs neighbor's tub overflows and damages items in your apartment. However, renters insurance does not cover damage from flooding.
Flood insurance is available for renters from FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program.
Insurance Information Institute said renters insurance includes additional living expenses (ALE) coverage if you are unable to live in your home because of a hurricane, fire or other disaster listed in the policy. ALE pays for hotel bills, temporary rentals, restaurant meals and other expenses you incur while your home is being repaired or rebuilt.
Like a standard homeowners insurance policy, renters insurance includes liability protection. This covers your responsibility to other people injured at your home or elsewhere by you, a family member or your pet and pays legal defense costs if you are taken to court.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, there are two types of renters insurance policies:
• Actual Cash Value coverage pays to replace your possessions up to the limit of your policy, minus a deduction for depreciation.
• Replacement Cost coverage pays the real cost of replacing your belongings (regardless of depreciation) up to the limit of your policy. This will usually cost about 10 percent more but is a much better value in the long run.
If you have expensive jewelry, furs, sports or musical equipment, or collectibles, you may want to consider adding a floater to your policy. Most standard renters policies include a limited dollar amount for such items. A floater is a separate policy that provides additional insurance for your valuables and may even cover them if they are accidentally lost.
The Insurance Information Institute said the best way to determine how much renters insurance you need is to create a home inventory. This is a detailed list of all of your personal possessions along with their estimated value. An up-to-date home inventory will also make filing an insurance claim faster and easier. The I.I.I. offers free home inventory software and a mobile app at www.knowyourstuff.org.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
UW-River Falls Administrative Policy
Collection of Indirect (Overhead) Costs
To assist the faculty and staff in their attempt to attract extramural funding, the University System negotiates and signs agreements with the federal government which establishes the allowable rates of reimbursement for indirect costs. These rates are then accepted by all federal agencies as the official estimates of the indirect costs incurred in performance of extramurally funded projects.
The UW-River Falls Chancellor issues this policy in accordance with the Administrative Policy process.
The Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance is responsible for the administration of this policy. Request an exception to this policy by writing to email@example.com or by communicating with the Director of Grants and Research at 715-425-3195 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Failure to adhere to the provisions of this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action as provided under existing procedures applicable to students, faculty, and staff, and/or civil or criminal prosecution.
Federal Projects: All grant and contract applications to and awards from federal agencies (except as otherwise provided by federal regulations) must include indirect costs calculated at the agreed upon rate as set forth in the University/DHHS Negotiation Agreement or the established rate of the sponsoring agency. Questions on these rates should be addressed to the Director of Grants and Research (Ext. 3195) or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Non-Federal Projects: Normally, indirect costs for non-federal grants and contracts must be included at the federally negotiated rates currently in effect. However, if the sponsoring agency has an established indirect cost rate which is less than the federal rate, the University will consider accepting that rate only after a review to determine if it is (1) a published rate; (2) an agency-wide policy; and (3) consistently applied by that organization to all its outside grants and contracts with educational institutions.
Faculty and staff should consult with the Director of Grants and Research regarding the indirect cost rate to be used when developing an outside funding proposal.
The Controller will inform the Director of Grants of changes in the indirect cost rate when a new rate is negotiated and agreed upon with the federal government.
The University must recover two components of costs when undertaking any extramurally funded project. Costs to be recovered are (1) direct costs attributable to the specified project and (2) indirect costs incurred for the general support and management of the project.
Indirect costs incurred in coordinating or supporting the project are actual costs to the University. Funds paid to the University for indirect costs of a sponsored project are reimbursement for expenditures actually incurred covering costs such as utilities, custodial services, building and equipment use charges, library services, and general and departmental administration.
The Office of the Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance, the Controller's Office, and the Director of Grants and Research are responsible for monitoring this policy.
Please direct questions about this policy to email@example.com.

MONTICELLO - Convicted rapist Paul Curry, 38 of Grahamsville is in custody after 48 hours on the run. Curry, who was out on bail, awaiting sentencing in a 2011 rape case, eluded Sheriff's Detectives on Tuesday (7/17/12) when they went to his residence to arrest him on a warrant. Curry had violated an order of protection when he contacted his 12 year old victim.
On Thursday 7/19/12, just after 5:00 PM a uniformed state trooper from the Liberty barracks developed information that Paul Curry was hiding at a residence on Big Woods Road in the Town of Thompson. The trooper took Curry into custody, but had to immediately take him to Catskill Regional Medical Center because the suspect had swallowed a large amount of pills.
Curry was turned over to Sheriff's deputies at the hospital. County Court Judge Michael McGuire arraigned Curry at the hospital and immediately revoked his bail in the pending case.
Curry was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff and will be sent to the Sullivan County Jail as soon as he is released from the hospital. Sheriff Mike Schiff thanked all of the Sullivan County Police agencies that participated in the man hunt. "Getting this subject off the street was a top priority", said the Sheriff.

Spanos denies murder count in crashVyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Alex Spanos is brought into Rutland criminal court where he pleaded innocent to second-degree murder Thursday.
RUTLAND The man allegedly behind the wheel in a crash that killed a Rutland High School senior pleaded innocent to an upgraded charge of second-degree murder Thursday and was ordered jailed without the possibility of bail.
Alex W. Spanos, 23, has been behind bars since September when he pleaded innocent to six counts stemming from a crash on Cleveland Avenue that killed 17-year-old Carly Ferro and injured four others, including Ferros father, Ron Ferro.
But Wednesday state and county prosecutors handling the case significantly increased a manslaughter charge against Spanos by amending it to a count of second-degree murder.
Now, instead of facing a maximum 15-year jail sentence for manslaughter, Spanos could face life behind bars if convicted of murder.
The reason for the more severe charge is hinted at in a supplemental affidavit filed by Rutland County States Attorney Marc Brierre on Wednesday.
In the new paperwork, police reference a toxicology report on a blood sample taken from Spanos that indicated he had high concentrations of difloureothane a gas commonly used in electronic cleaning products that can be abused as a means to get high.
That chemical is present, police said, in products such as Dust-Off the keyboard cleaner that two passengers in the car Spanos was driving said he was huffing moments before the crash.
The toxicology results and additional statements provided by the passengers in Spanos car were the evidence Brierre cited in court Thursday to support the prosecutions contention that Spanos actions constituted murder.
In the murder charge, prosecutors say Spanos acted unlawfully causing the death of another with a wanton disregard of the likelihood that his actions would cause death or great bodily harm by driving a motor vehicle into another vehicle killing Carly Jean Ferro after inhaling chemical fumes from an aerosol can ...
But the affidavits filed with the court dont reference any intent on Spanos part to kill Ferro a qualifying factor in most murder charges.
Also, most of the statements provided by the passengers in the new affidavit add details but do little on the surface to change what police and prosecutors suspected in September.
Asked after the hearing to explain the reasons for amending the charge, Brierre said he wouldnt comment beyond what little was said in the courtroom and what was contained in court filings.
We amended the charge to fit the evidence, he said.
Assistant Attorney General Ultan Doyle, who is assisting Brierre in the case, said the murder charge was warranted because Spanos was aware of the danger he was placing others in.
In the supplemental affidavit, Michael Longley, a passenger in Spanos car, said a single hit taken from a Dust-Off can days before the crash almost knocked Spanos unconscious.
In the minutes before the crash on the afternoon of Sept. 26, Longley and another passenger, Eva Lebo, told police that Spanos huffed several times from the can while driving on streets leading up to Cleveland Avenue.
Just before he turned onto Cleveland Avenue, Spanos allegedly inhaled from the can again and then passed out with his foot on the accelerator, Longley told police.
Asked if Spanos experience days earlier with the inhalant when he almost passed out, coupled with his decision to huff from the can while driving, were key factors in bringing the murder charge, Doyle said they were.
Thats what we believe the evidence shows and its what we set forth in the affidavit, he said.
Spanos, who appeared in court wearing a dark suit Thursday, kept his head bowed while his attorney entered an innocent plea to the murder charge on his behalf.
Brierre asked that Spanos be held in jail without the option of bail because he now faces a lifetime prison sentence. Spanos has been jailed since September on $200,000 bail.
Judge Theresa DiMauro granted the prosecutors request. But at the request of Spanos public defender she also scheduled a weight-of-evidence hearing for Tuesday. During that hearing, prosecutors will be required to show sufficient evidence to hold Spanos without bail.
The arraignment was attended by Carly Ferros mother and Spanos parents. None wanted to comment on the case.

However, for the next two years, the Diary reflectes that he would spend yet another quiet, uneventful 4th of July at home and then visiting his neighbors, the Andersons. It wasn't until 1853 that James P. McPherson fulfilled his promise of that first July 4th in Springdale. His diary for that Independence day in 1853 reads as follows:
Later, J.P. became quite well known for his political speeches, complete with his sons playing patriotic songs from the back of the wagon, Eldest Billy played the trumpet; my great grandfather James, the flute; young Jabez, on the drums. All the while J.P. waved the American flag and made speeches --- wearing his Scotch hat with black ribbons down the back and a thistle emblem on the front. He knew from whence he came, and the new land he now called home. Reportedly, and appropriate for this day, James Peter McPherson ended his speeches with these words:

As a kid, John Malta started scribbling characters from Nickelodeon shows like "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" and "Rocko's Modern Life," but they always inadvertently passed through the filter of his own imagination and ended up looking like the approachably grotesque characters that now populate his art. It's not the only aspect of '90s pop culture that infiltrates Malta's consciousness when he creates his acclaimed illustrations.
"Super Mario, Donkey Kong and lots of video game characters, too," Malta said. "When I compose a landscape, I think of it how somebody would design an 8-bit video game."
When Malta was majoring in illustration at CCAD, his uniquely twisted cartoons positioned him as one of the most promising talents to emerge from a school full of them. Two years after graduating, with that promise rapidly coming to fruition, he'll return to his alma mater Sunday as the welcome speaker.
"It's intended for the incoming freshmen, but it's open to the public and it's mostly about my work and stuff," Malta said.
That work is getting a lot more eyeballs on it than when Malta was showing his work at now-defunct Short North coffee shop/scooter dealership Kickstart and drawing album covers for Columbus bands like Dolfish and Way Yes.
Now based in New York after finishing his master's in illustration as visual essay at the School for Visual Arts, Malta frequently sells freelance illustrations to publications including The New York Times. He contributes comics to Vice. He's working on an animated short for release next spring, and the 'zines he began drawing in high school just keep coming.
Perhaps most impressively, Malta recently won one of 17 coveted self-publishing grants from the Xeric Foundation, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" co-creator Peter Laird's organization. He'll use the grant to self-publish his graphic novel, "The Professor and the Paperboy," inspired by "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and the sci-fi pulps of H.P. Lovecraft.
"I kind of wanted to create an interdimensional journey of all these worlds that I had been painting and drawing, and the relationship two people can have," Malta said.
Meanwhile, his own journey through this weird world continues to take intriguing turns.

text: Yesterday I noticed that my nipple was peeling. Then today when I was pumping at work, both nipples started to bleed, a lot!! I don't know what is going on, or how to stop it. My daughter is 18 months old, so it's not bad latch. I can't send this milk to the pre-school, I just don't feel right sending PINK MILK over there. Anyone have any ideas on what might be going on? I think one of them was from a bite last night. How can I manage to pump without getting blood into the milk? The nipple that has the MAJOR bleeding is bleeding from the top of the nipple.

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat 1 tbsp oil and the butter in a frying pan, then add the onion and fry for 5 mins until softened. Cool slightly. Tip the sausagemeat, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, apricots, chestnuts and thyme into a bowl. Add the onion and cranberries, and mix everything together with your hands, adding plenty of pepper and a little salt.
Cut each chicken breast into three fillets lengthwise and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan, and fry the chicken fillets quickly until browned, about 6-8 mins.
Roll out two-thirds of the pastry to line a 20-23cm springform or deep loose-based tart tin. Press in half the sausage mix and spread to level. Then add the chicken pieces in one layer and cover with the rest of the sausage. Press down lightly.
Roll out the remaining pastry. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and cover with the pastry lid. Pinch the edges to seal, then trim. Brush the top of the pie with egg, then roll out the trimmings to make holly leaf shapes and berries. Decorate the pie and brush again with egg.
Set the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 mins, then cool in the tin for 15 mins. Remove and leave to cool completely. Serve with a winter salad and pickles.

I have made this pie several times over the years and it never disappoints. Now I only make it though if I am going to be feeding a crowd because it's too much for 2 people. For tomorrow's party, I have substituted bacon for apricots for an apricot hater and because the cranberries were on the large side, I've cut them in half so they don't cause a problem when cutting neat slices. My other change this year is to arrange the chicken fillets in a spiral from the centre again to aid ease of cutting. What a perfect Merry Christmas pie now for the Tiramisu.
OUTSTANDING!!!! What an amazing pie, I can't rave about it enough!!! I followed the recipe with the exception of using chicken thigh pieces rather than breast and I covered dried cranberries with a little port and put them in the microwave for a minute or two and cooled. I will make again and again and again and I wouldn't change a thing!!!
Delicious alternative to the traditional pork pie at Christmas. Used mini fillets of chicken breast and left them whole. Added dried cranberries but would use fresh next time as there was enough sweetness with the apricots The filling was the exact quantity for my 24 cm diam x 6 cm deep fluted loose-bottomed flan tin resulting in a perfectly formed pie.
This was my 2nd christmas with this pie on the buffet table....and the 5th time i have made it. I love it...and so does everyone i know.
But, my pastry (store bought) never holds....after the first cut it all goes downhill and my pie looks less like a pie and more like a opps-i-dropped-it-on-the-way-in mess. Is there a quick jelly recipie i can use to help with this?
Lost count of the number of times I have made this, we call it Boxing day pie. Just made two for my son's 18th party as he loves it so much. I used the chicken fillets which were on offer, so I poached them before adding to the pie. The family all commented that these were the best ever pies, the poaching kept the chicken lovely and moist.
Just delicious. Made it for the first time for Christmas 2012. It was a great cut and come again dish to fill the hollow legs of the younger generation. The last crumbs disappeared at 1am along with some homemade chutney.
Will definitely become a regular Christmas time buffet menu feature and I will try freezing it next time having read the positive comments.
This is my second year of making this pie and the only thing I changed from last year was to add more chicken, I use 4 chicken breasts instead of 3 to make sure that there is a full layer of chicken. This pie is a real winner and a great recipe even though there is a lot to get through for 2 people ! I tend to give some to friends if they pop round for a coffee.
Questions (15)
Hello, I made this fab pie last night. I fully baked it (after cooking at 190 for and hour and 180 for 25mins) I then froze it.
I want to use the pie for New Years Day. Next week can I defrost it in the fridge for say 24hrs and then eat it cold without rebaking the pie? I looked at the questions just now and realised maybe I should have frozen it before I baked it. I don't want to waste the pie and throw it away but I think it will be dry and burnt if I bake it again. Grateful for any advice thankyou x
The sausage meat is the glue that helps everything to stick together so you will need to create something similar. We haven't tried it ourselves, but 400g minced pork or chicken with 200g breadcrumbs and a beaten egg should do the trick, but the end result might have a slightly firmer texture. You will need to increase the seasonings and herbs a little too.
Hi pt1976 thanks for your question. You can get 10-12 good slices out of this pie so it would serve that many if served as part of a lunch or buffet with salads etc.
You can freeze this and it should be fine if the meat used wasn't previously frozen, however, it would be better to freeze uncooked once assembled and then defrost overnight in the fridge before baking.
Hi Heather Clarke, if you skip the step for frying the chicken you will lose some of the flavour and it may not cook properly. Should be fine to assemble the pie completely to the point of baking and freezing it then. Just defrost overnight in the fridge before baking - however we haven't tested this method in our kitchen so cannot guarantee perfect results. Let us know how you get on.

Reviews for this host's other properties
My time in Melbourne was great! I had a lovely room and a great guest family. It was like my second home with a lovely dog. The way from airport to Murrumbeena was easy and it was great to have the big shopping mall only 5 min away. Maybe we will see us again. Thank you for the good time.
Peter and Martha will become your family away from home. Very friendly and helpful and always up for a chat. During our stay we also met other interesting guests at the house. The home is very well located for travelling into town by train or walking to the nearby impressive shopping mall. We look forward to visiting again!
Enjoyed my stay in Melbourn , Peter is a very friendly person and have kept his house clean and comfortable for the guests , its like a home away from HOME and i did not feel like out of home for even a single day ..
I have stayed with my family of five together in celebrating my daughter's graduation. That's is the first time for most of us to spend trip in Metbourne.
Peter and Martha could not have made me and my daughter more welcome.
Thankyou so much. Sorry i didnt get chance to say goodbye.
See you again definately.

Peter's house was a privilege. Me and my girlfriend had the greatest time with so much freedom, fun and great walks with a wonderful dog. The hosts, Martha and Peter, we're very nice people and bend over backwards to make sure you enjoy your stay, as well as wanting to learn more about you. Thank you for a great stay and see you next time!
I arrived here straight of the plane from Ireland and Peter and Martha couldn't of done more to help me settle in. They really are a genuinely love couple who would bend over backwards to see that your stay with them is pleasurable and hassle free I'll be sorry to leave but i'm pretty sure we'll see each other again in the future
Ich war herzlich willkommen. Obwohl meine Englischkenntnisse nicht so gut sind, haben sich alle mit mir unterhalten und wir haben viel gemeinsam unternommen. Peter und Matha haben auch andere Gäste und wir waren wie eine Großfamilie. Allen ein Dankeschön dafür. Ein wenig außerhalb vom Centrum, aber mit den Öffentlich alles bestens zu erreichen. Und mit der Hilfe aller ein guter Start für Australien.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Aufenthalt bei Peter, Martha und dem Hund Fletcher. Sie waren sehr zuvorkommend mit uns. Grosses Haus, viel Platz, und ruhige Gegend. Bis zum nächsten Mal ! Heinz, Hansi und Guido aus CH
Peter e Martha sono persone molto accoglienti. Soggiornare da loro è come vivere una grande famiglia! Un'altra cosa positiva è la possibilità di incontrare persone da tutto il mondo!
Consiglio caldamente questo alloggio!

Someone was asleep enough at the switch to think that her name would be a good draw to a movie, so they decided to recruit her for 2008's regrettable "The Hottie and the Nottie." Big mistake.
The movie was about ... um, well, we're proud to say we never saw it, and neither did the rest of the nation.
It was so bad that it averaged about five people per movie screen and was another flick from this list that swept the Razzies.
Advice for Paris: Stick to paparazzi video or anything where you're filmed with a night vision camcorder.
No. 1: "Mr. Wrong"
In recent years, Ellen DeGeneres has become a highly respected talk show host. But a few years ago, she was helming her own sitcoms. Before that, she was a stand-up comedienne.
Oh, and she is gay. We all knew that, and no one really cared. But when she decided to make the 1996 flick "Mr. Wrong" with Bill Pullman and Joan Cusack, we couldn't help but scratch our heads and say, "Why?"
For a romantic comedy (or any movie, for that matter) to work there has to be some plausibility. We have to believe that Superman can fly. We have to believe that a bare-footed Bruce Willis can stop a band of elite international terrorists. We have to believe that Ellen likes men.
Well, "Superman" and "Die Hard" did really well; not so much for Ellen.

Samsung Electronics has started shipments of its 1.5TB hard disk drives (HDDs) that feature three 500GB platters, which potentially open up the door to 2TB hard drives for the company. However, Samsung claims that ultimate capacity is not the goal for its "Eco Green" Spinpoint F2EG hard drives, but what is crucial is reliability and low power consumption are the corner stones of the novelty.
"Lower platter count means less power to start the motor, less power to continuously spin the motor and a lighter head-stack which takes less power to seek. With fewer heads and disks, the F2EG hard drive has a lower probability of head-disk failures, enabling customers to build more reliable systems," said Andy Higginbotham, director of HDD sales and marketing for the Samsung Semiconductor Storage Division.
Samsung's EcoGreen Spinpoint F2EG drive in 3.5" form-factor incorporates 500GB/1TB/1.5TB capacity, 16MB/32MB buffer memory and Serial ATA-300 interface. Samsung declares 8.9ms average seek time, 5.52ms average latency and 140MB/s media to buffer transfer speed.
As hard disk capacity increases from an increased number of disks, so does power consumption. However, Samsung's F2EG drive offers low power consumption by using EcoTriangle, a low-power, low-heat, low-noise operation technology. With its design and fewer components, the F2EG drive is 40% lower in power consumption in idle mode and 45% lower in reading/writing mode than competitive drives. Samsung's Eco-Triangle technology offers more energy efficient and high performance hard drive options to manufacturers of home media PC, external HDD, set-top box, and personal NAS.
Samsung Spinpoint F2EG family of drives is currently being shipped to major OEM businesses. The 1.5TB HDD is available at $149 manufacturer suggested retail price.

My 2nd DD was born 6/24/11 and we've had a rough go with bf'ing. Started out with a cracked nipple due to improper latch that took a few weeks to heal, then I got mastitis in the other breast, which quickly escalated into an abscess. I had to have that drained and stay overnight in the hospital for antibiotics. Got home yesterday from the hospital and put DD to the affected breast (per the LC's encouragement) using the football hold to avoid my incision. I didn't latch her on properly (more at a side angle) and now I have two bulging milk blisters on that nipple and maybe a small crack. I switched to pumping on that breast and nursing on the other so the baby wouldn't introduce any (more) bacteria into the "hurt" side. I called the LC, who advised to soak the nipple in warm water and do warm compresses, and maybe hand express vs. using the pump.
I nursed my 1st DD for 27 months. Had 3 minor instances of mastitis early on, but never the problems I'm having now. LC suggested it was because of a lowered immune system due to lack of rest. It is impossible to rest when baby sleeps with a 4-year-old in the house. I'm feeling ready to start exclusively pumping and have entertained the notion of formula feeding (even though I know I just need to persevere and get over this bad time because it will get better). I really want to continue breastfeeding, because I want my 2nd DD to have the benefits of breast milk, especially since we have several of the diseases in our family that breast milk helps ward off--diabetes, Crohn's, etc. The thoughts of having to go through another abscess drainage and mastitis are starting to make me doubt my ability to overcome this.
I'd appreciate any support or advice you can offer. Thanks!!

I put this Lost on woodsons head...Melo @ the 4 works with most teams, but when your playing teams like the Grizzlies & Lakers who THRIVE in the post... your rolling the dice and pressing your luck...I know you should keep going with whats working but CLEARLY we were getting mauled down low and Woodson did absolutely nothing about it..& why doesn't camby get any playtime is he still injured?
besides woodsons coaching tonight Chandler played like CRAP
well you win some you lose some, we showed some fight towards the end. The grizz are a good team you have to give them some credit.
i know it hurts but its ok.. who expected us to be 6-0... we just played yesterday.. and gave them almost 30 points because of the fouls the refs gave them.. we couldve beat them ... these are just tests for use to get farther in the playoffs
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Tough loss for the Knicks. Wish they would have found a way to win. But you can't count their opponent out.The Grizzlies are a team that nobody really cares about, but they will most likely sweep the Miami Heat in the NBA finals this season.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Now we get to see what this team can do following a tough loss. Need to come out strong on Sunday afternoon and get back in the win column against the overrated Pacers.
We handled the Pacers last season.. with granger, I expect a convincing bounce back victory sunday
i hope grizzlies keep winning their games until we next meet them. i reckon the home advantage was huge... crowd was very alive and supportive.
So far Felton and Chandler lob game has been about 60% with defenders cloggin the path to the hole.
Felton was good but how many times he comes down super slow in the 4 th when time I running down taking his time to get things started when we need fast buckets

McMullen County Sheriff Emmett Shelton said their top priority will be the school zone once school goes back in session on Aug. 26. He said deputies will be watching school zones closely.
Crashes increased by 295.5 percent in McMullen County and by 11.1 percent in Live Oak County from 2008 to 2011, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
McMullen County's percentage increase for crashes is the largest in the entire state, with the next closest being La Salle County with a 211.7 percent increase with 60 crashes in 2008 and 187 crashes in 2011.
McMullen had 22 crashes in 2008 and 87 crashes in 2011. Live Oak had 253 crashes in 2008 and 281 crashes in 2011.
McMullen Independent School District Superintendent Dave Underwood met with Sheriff Shelton about getting drivers to slow down and readjust to seeing school buses on the roads again.
"There is a zero tolerance for violations in school zones," Shelton said. "In 2012, we got tired of scraping people up off the road. I've been in law enforcement for 23 years and saw my share, but it was an immersion course here in 2012, where you are literally picking up body parts, and we decided not to allow that to happen again."

- Abstract
- We have traced the past 7 Gyr of red galaxy stellar mass growth within dark matter halos. We have determined the halo occupation distribution, which describes how galaxies reside within dark matter halos, using the observed luminosity function and clustering of 40,696 0.2 ‹z‹1.0 red galaxies in Bootes. Half of ≅1011.9 h-1 Mo halos host a red central galaxy, and this fraction increases with increasing halo mass. We do not observe any evolution of the relationship between red galaxy stellar mass and host halo mass, although we expect both galaxy stellar masses and halo masses to evolve over cosmic time. We find that the stellar mass contained within the red population has doubled since z=l, with the stellar mass within red satellite galaxies tripling over this redshift range. In cluster mass halos (>1014 h-1 Mo) most of the stellar mass resides within satellite galaxies and the intracluster light, with a minority of the stellar mass residing within central galaxies. The stellar masses of the most luminous red central galaxies are proportional to halo mass to the power of ≅0.35. We thus conclude that halo mergers do not always lead to rapid growth of central galaxies. While very massive halos often double in mass over the past 7 Gyr, the stellar masses of their central galaxies typically grow by only ≅30%.

Upper Deep Creek
I finally made it up to the Smokies this weekend for some camping and fishing. I decided I wanted to fish some new water and I had been thinking about upper Deep Creek for awhile. Anyway, I woke up nice and early Saturday morning and decided to go for it. I hiked down from the top to where the Left Fork comes in and started fishing back upstream. The fish were all very hungry and willing to hit just about any fly I tossed at 'em. I caught more browns than rainbows which was nice for a change. The browns seemed to be partial to dries but the big one of the day hit a Green Weenie and went right at 12 inches. The water level was very good and I would estimate the water temp was in the lower 60's. Later in the day I stopped higher up the creek on the hike out to catch a brookie to complete the slam and managed a couple of small ones. It was a nice day to be out on the water but the hike was intense. This would definately make a nice overnight trip though.
Hit Lynn Camp this morning for a couple of hours before the rain began in earnest and caught around 20 fish mainly on Green Weenies and Copper Johns. The water was stained which was nice because I could practically step on the fish without spooking them. Overall it was a nice weekend in the mountains and the fishing was excellent!
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19

Re: Upper Deep Creek
Thanks for the great report Plateau Angler I have always wanted to try upper Deep Creek, but I probably should have tried it when I was younger since I hear it is a real steep climb back to Newfound Gap Rd. I also read your post about your trip out west, sounds like you had an eventful trip. I need to head back that way one of these days since I am closer now than when I lived in Florida. Dis you get to fish the Black Canyon of the Gunnison? If so I would be curious to hear how you did there. Keep up the good reports, but don't fish Lynn Camp too much since it's one of my favorite spots
Have Fun!
Re: Upper Deep Creek
whisperer sez: i have often thought about doing this hike and just have always had some reason to do something else somewhere else. thanks for bumping it back to the top in my mind. congratulation on the slam...very cool *8-)
regards, TW
