Tags: Clean Air
Climate disruption is already affecting our daily lives by jeopardizing our health and devastating our communities all across the country. Thankfully, President Obama is tackling the problem head on. The core pillar of the President's strategy is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recently-announced Clean Power Plan, which will place commonsense limit on carbon pollution from existing power plants. This is a critical step that will combat climate change, protect public health, and help preserve our planet for future generations.
According to a report released by the White House last week, "Climate change, caused primarily by carbon pollution threatens the health and well-being of Americans in many ways, from increasing the risk of asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses to changing the spread of certain vector-borne diseases."
In response to this growing threat, the EPA is using its authority under the Clean Air Act to place the first-ever federal limits on the amount of carbon pollution that new and existing power plants can spew into our air. This is the biggest step we've taken so far to combat climate change, as power plants are responsible for emitting 40 percent of the carbon pollution in our atmosphere. These limits are so commonsense that most Americans believe they're already in place, just as we have safeguards for mercury, arsenic and lead.
"Today's EPA proposal does something unprecedented: guaranteeing lower levels of carbon emissions, which will reduce threats to public health. The proposal will cut carbon pollution, smog and soot, and in its first year will prevent up to 100,000 asthma attacks and 2,100 heart attacks," said the American Public Health Association.
Every year the EPA standards will help save lives and prevent medical emergencies from happening. By 2025, these safeguards will prevent up to 130,000 asthma attacks and 2,800 heart attacks. And by 2030, we will see the benefits continue to rise, preventing up to 150,000 asthma attacks and 3,300 heart attacks while avoiding thousands of premature deaths, hospital visits, and hundreds of thousands of lost work days. In fact, from just smog and soot reductions alone, every dollar that is invested in the Clean Power Plan will result in $7 of health benefits for every American family.
President Obama and the EPA know we can no longer afford to ignore climate change, and these proposed standards are a huge step towards cleaner air and a healthier planet.

Flu Epidemic Continues Assault on Children and Could Threaten Global Economy
The CDC reports that 8.2 percent of deaths in the U.S. during one week were flu related.
A flu epidemic in the United States was responsible for 8.2 percent of the country's deaths during the week of Jan. 6-12 and threatens the global economy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Widespread flu activity is being reported in 48 states, meaning that more than 50 percent of a state's counties are reporting flu. Thirty states are reporting high influenza-like illnesses.
The CDC reported that pediatric deaths have totaled 29 halfway through the flu season. It also reported that a high proportion of deaths of people older than 65 are occurring but the CDC does not track deaths for adults related to the flu.
The CDC reported that this year's strain is the H3N2, which killed 153 children during the 2003-2004 flu season. The agency also said that about 19 per 100,000 Americans are getting hospitalized for the flu and most are elderly.
The CDC urges early treatment with an antiviral such as Tamiflu or Relenza and says that letting symptoms continue untreated could mean a trip to the hospital.
The potential cost of a continued outbreak could mean not just high body counts but a blow to the global economy as well. For example, during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003, travel was drastically cut back, costing Asia-Pacific carriers $6 billion and American Airlines $1 billion. Additionally the net revenue of Park Place Entertainment, which owns Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, was down more than 50 percent during the second quarter of 2003 because of the lack of travelers and vacationers.

Private Instructors Giving WA Driver's Exams
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Under a new state law, private instructors are now giving driving exams in Washington.
Some instructors told the Yakima Herald-Republic they've been busy.
John Larson of the A-1 Driving School says he gives more than 80 driving tests a week.
John Tull of FACT Driver's Education says the schools break even for the time they spend on tests, and depend on instruction to earn a profit.
Instructors must have 100 hours of training and be certified. Schools are required to submit maps of their driving course and include certain elements such as intersections and traffic signs. Tests include all the elements required by the state, including parallel parking.
Drivers also have to pass written tests and go to a state Department of Licensing office to pick up their license.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project Id: 2009CT202B
Title: Evaluation of Turbidity Acidification During Sampling and Analytical Preparation as the Cause of Observed Manganese Anomalies in Drinking Water Wells
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2009
End Date: 2/28/2011
Congressional District: 2
Focus Categories: Hydrogeochemistry, Toxic Substances, Geochemical Processes
Keywords: manganese, water wells, bedrock fractures, sampling, acidification, filtering
Principal Investigator: robbins, gary a (University of Connecticut)
Federal Funds: $ 4,500
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 9,014
Abstract: According to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) files more than 80 locations (involving one or more bedrock wells) have been identified where concentrations of manganese have exceeded the State action level of 0.5 mg/l. Concentrations have been observed ranging up to 100 mg/l. Such levels may pose a neurological hazard. Spatial statistical studies we have conducted indicate the manganese levels are anomalous with respect to background levels in Connecticut and throughout New England, which average about 0.1 mg/l. A number of potential anthropomorphic causes of the anomalous well concentrations have been proposed. By law, if wells are contaminated the DEP is charged with providing an alternative water supply. In cases of rural private wells, the solution applied is an expensive (in access of $5000 dollars) filter system that is usually maintained by the DEP or local health officials. Recent analyses of the DEP data files suggest that the high manganese concentrations observed are strongly correlated with turbidity. There are two possible explanations for this observation. The high manganese levels may be an artifact of leaching metals from suspended rock flour or fragments of oxidized well casing when the samples are collected and then preserved by acidification, which is a standard approach used by the DEP when they collect the samples. Even if samples are not preserved in the field, standard protocol for metal analysis by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is pretreatment of samples with acid if they exhibit turbidity greater than 1 NTU. ICP has become the most common method of analysis for metals and is used by the Dept. of Public Health laboratory, which conducts analysis for the DEP, and private sector laboratories in the State. We are proposing to test the acidification hypothesis by conduct systematic laboratory leaching studies and field tests that involve collecting filtered and unfiltered samples.

President Bush Looking At Changing Conservation Easement Law
Laramie, Wy – Farmers and ranchers in Wyoming could get an incentive to create conservation easements. This is when they agree to restrict development on their property and to keep it as a farm or a ranch.
A bill before President Bush would give more tax money back to people in agriculture that do this. The executive director of the Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust, Glenn Pauley, says this may prevent some farmers and ranchers from selling land and subdividing it. Though many are struggling with finding alternative incomes other than subdividing.
Pauley says it is possible to make some income from creating a conservation easement, but usually is not very much.
Wyoming's congressional delegation is supports this bill.

Regarding yesterday, per the 12/26/48 strip, Sam was a busy man before joining Dick Tracy…he started out as a dentist (!), ran a deli in Philly, studied law, worked on the police force in Brooklyn, the detective bureau in Chicago, and was a special investigator in Boston for 2 years, before returning to his hometown from a request by Chief Patton.
I know there's been previous debates about Tracy's locale, but according to this, in 1948, it was neither New York or Chicago.

Watch Anna Wintour Make Decisions for the CFDA
As seen in the new web series, The Fashion Fund.
The first episode of The Fashion Fund, a six-part web series that shows the process behind the most recent CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund competition, premiered today on Hulu. The 23-minute episode gives the background story about the designers applying for the Fund, with plenty of spliced interviews from members of the CFDA board and previously nominated designers nicely edited in. But the most interesting aspect of the show is, of course, watching Anna Wintour criticize the candidates. "Well, this is just generic," she says, mulling over a look book from Nice Collective. "I mean, it's fine, it's not offensive." Anna pushes for Joseph Altuzarra (who goes on to win ... hmm). But we can get behind Joseph because of his earnest summation of why this whole Fund thing matters: "It's New York City and there's a million of us vying for just someone to pay attention." Aren't we all, Joseph? Aren't we all?

Updated at 11:39 p.m. ET, Saturday, Dec. 22
Calvin Johnson became the NFL's single-season receiving yardage leader Saturday night, breaking Jerry Rice's long-held record.
Johnson entered the game against the Falcons needing 182 yards to make the record his own. He put up 117 yards in the first half alone.
In the fourth quarter, Johnson hauled in pass from QB Matthew Stafford on a crossing pattern to break the record.
Johnson finished the game with 11 catches for 225 yards. He now has 117 catches for 1,892 yards on the season, which puts the 2,000-yard mark very much within his reach with one week in the regular season remaining.
Rice's record wasn't the only one that Johnson broke on Saturday. He also recorded his eighth 100-yard game in row, breaking a record held by Charley Hennigan (1961, Oilers) and Michael Irvin (1995, Cowboys).
In the first quarter of the game, Johnson surpassed Herman Moore to become the Lions' single-season receiving yardage leader. Moore previously held the record, which stood at 1,686 yards.
Johnson also reached the 10-catch mark for the fourth game in a row, which set another NFL mark.
The Falcons won the game, 31-18, to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.

• In 1990, in a dramatic concession to South Africa's black majority, President F.W. de Klerk lifted a ban on the African National Congress and promised to free Nelson Mandela.
• Ten years ago: Deadly ricin was discovered in offices used by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
• Five years ago: Hillary Clinton was sworn in as U.S. secretary of state, and the Senate confirmed Eric Holder, 75-21, to be attorney general.
• One year ago: Former Navy SEAL and American Sniper author Chris Kyle (left) was fatally shot along with a friend, Chad Littlefield, at a gun range west of Glen Rose, Texas. Suspect Eddie Ray Routh has been charged with two counts of capital murder.
Thought for today
"It was naive of the 19th century optimists to expect paradise from technology — and it is equally naive of the 20th century pessimists to make technology the scapegoat for such old shortcomings as man's blindness, cruelty, immaturity, greed and sinful pride." — Peter F. Drucker, Austrian-born American business-management consultant (1909-2005)

Bad Charts On Wikipedia
Jorge Cameos urges everyone to Change Bad Charts in the Wiikipedia.
Corporate annual reports and the Wikipedia are two great resources to find really bad charts. We can't do much about corporate reports, but we can actually change the Wikipedia articles. So, here is an assignment for you: find a bad chart and replace it with one that actually makes sense from a data visualization point of view.
Here's an example, from List of U.S. states and territories by population.

The Democratic Party Attacks Scott Brown For Having Been Molested As A Child
No matter how low you think the political Left will sink, your imagination can never quite keep up with how vile they actually turn out to be:
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is circulating a number of clips to reporters suggesting that Sen. Scott Brown's (R-Mass.) revelations of sexual abuse as a child is either a political stunt or a hypocritical move….
Many have questioned how Brown could let a pedophile run free instead of stopping what could be a serial molester who may now have been at it for upwards of 40 years. Among the "believers" are many who are appalled that a U.S. senator would throw a literary grenade at a respected Christian summer camp and not disclose a name so that Cape officials can pursue the attacker and defend their reputation.
On the other side are alumni and friends of the camp who accuse the senator of fabricating the whole matter for political purposes — or at least to sell more books — leaving Camp Good News with a damaged reputation and no way to refute his accusations.
Neither story line is playing well with readers of CapeCodToday.com. Those who believe Brown's story feel that his political career cannot survive his sheltering of the molester. Those who feel he fabricated the account feel he should step down from office if he is proven to have lied.
What type of human beings hear that someone was molested as a child and their first thought is, "How can we use this against him politically?" If the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had any ethics, honor, or human decency, this line of attack would lead to the political hacks responsible for it being fired.
You just have to wonder: Is there some point where a person who works for the Democratic Party says, "What the hell is wrong with us? We're actually trying to exploit the fact that someone was molested as a child. How much lower can you possibly get?"
Apparently not.

- Directed by Bernard Rose
===Story=== Based on a story by Clive Barker and skillfully written and directed by Bernard Rose, ''Candyman'' rises above most horror films by eerily suggesting that some urban legends--in this case a particularly frightening one--have a spooky basis in reality. The legend of the Candyman is a potent one around the high-rise tenements of Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing complex, where the residents speak of a dark, ominous figure who appears when his victims say his name five times in front of a mirror, then mercilessly slashes them to death. Upon learning that the Candyman is rumored to live in one of the vacant tenements, a University of Illinois researcher (Virginia Madsen) investigates a recent murder at Cabrini-Green. She learns that the Candyman (played by Tony Todd) is both unreal and chillingly real--a supernatural force of evil empowered by those who believe in his legend. He is a killer made flesh by the belief of others, and the young researcher's investigation is a threat to his existence. What happens next? We wouldn't dare spoil the chills, but rest assured that writer-director Rose has tapped into a wellspring of urban angst and fear, and ''Candyman'' serves up its gruesome frights with a refreshing dose of intelligence.

Buried Treasure
Photo by: Jeff Kober
There are moments in life when throwing caution to the wind can be a completely exciting and exhilarating experience. The possibility of taking on new challenges, creating a new life for one's self, and becoming something more than you have been accustomed to is no doubt what every human being yearns deep inside of them. Now add the possibility of risking your livelihood, becoming homeless, and throwing away your professional career in search of this. This moment can prove to be one of the most ambitious endeavors you will partake in.
It's two in the afternoon and waves of heat radiate from the hot sand in the desert of Palmdale. Today is the type of day where the sun feels as if it is sitting on top of you baking away at your flesh turning it into leather almost instantaneously. I stand in this desolate terrain holding a neon green umbrella over a young and pretty actress to shield her from the sun, and the only thing I ask myself is, what the hell am I doing here?
I'm 26 years old and for the past three years of my life I have lived in the world of public relations. Day in and day out I walked through the doors of slick contemporary offices that boasted clients from Kiss to Michael Jackson, and even corporate giants like Wal-mart and Microsoft. With only an AA in Radio and TV/Film production, there was no logical reason for me to hold the positions I held, other than my drive and laser focused work ethic.
So, why would I leave this world to be a stand in for a Joshua tree? The answer to this question was the only thing that I was positively certain of. It was the obligation to myself to pursue a love of film that had captivated me ever since I was old enough to hold a VHS tape.
This was my first project working as a production assistant and the name of the film was "Buried Treasure," which is the story of a man whose life has completely stopped after the death of his wife. A man who trudges through life with the world around him fading in and out as memories of his beloved came back to haunt him. Despite having only read a few snippets of the script, there was such a strong kindred spirit between where I found myself in life and the main character. We were two individuals living out our days in malcontent and confined to our respective melancholic state.
Making movies is all I have ever wanted to do with my life, and in my early 20's I decided money was more important. Money was what was going to take care of me, not my hopes and dreams. Before my ambitions had taken over, I was like everyone else. Working a job I cared nothing for, so that I could buy a nice shirt and go to that expensive bar downtown where mixologists prepare drinks you've never heard of.
It wasn't until I opted out of this life and began to pursue a new one, that I truly began to see the world differently. Not just in cost and value, but in substance and beauty. Throughout the six day shoot I met some of the most charismatic and dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. People that had passion engrained in the fiber of their being. A synergetic and harmonious collaboration of souls brought together from every corner of the United States, as well as other parts of the world to create one film. To them, this project was more than just a "job". This was a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to live. These people not only took their roles very seriously and conducted themselves more professionally than many people I have worked with in the past, but had more to gain out of it. Every shot, every scene was a delicate and calculated effort where attention to detail was not just paramount, but necessary from every person on set.
It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears…and sand to complete Buried Treasure, and the road that was taken to be a part of this film is one that I will be continue to pursue for a long time to come. Buried treasure is exactly what working on this set felt like to me. The painstakingly search of trying to locate the gem at the bottom of a heap of hard work is what this film would end up being, and precisely what life has in store for all of us.
You cannot be expected to know what you want out of life when you are in the infancy of it, but with each trial and tribulation you know more and more what you don't want. This means digging and searching for the things, which bring you frustration, sorrow and joy. And, being able to distinguish a mirage from an oasis in the quest for fulfillment can be one of the most satisfying ventures you will ever engage in.

text: Ive tried increasing my calories to the recommended amount for me being breastfeeding and all i did was GAIN WEIGHT and no increase in milk supply, i added another pumping session during work so i have two fifteen minute sessions and i only work 5 hrs a day. My dd is 13lbs now, born 8.13. Shes 3mo and one week.She is eating 6-8 ounces of my milk while im at work and then another 5-7 ounces of formula, i started pumping after her feedings at night as well and still no increase. Also she cant seem to fully empty each side, so i compress my breasts to get the hindmilk out for the next days feeding. i have a super fast letdown and we are dealing with a minor case of thrush still. Ive even been getting up at 3 am to pump so the milk during the night isnt just wasted. What should i do? I dont want her to need formula but while im gone she is still so hungry....i also eat 2 cups oatmeal for breakfast everyday and drink 64+ oz of water everyday. please help me! I dont see why i am not making enough!! both sides of my family are always bombarding me to quit and that im to blame for her gas and tummy pains because of the yeast in the thrush and i am the only one in 5 generations to breastfeed. I feel very outnumbered but ive never been a quitter. I will feed half and half if i must but i want to be exclusively BFing her.

U.S.D.A. announces $386 million in conservation programs
- published_in
- Today's News
The programs will provide up to $386 million to help farmers restore wetlands, protect working agriculture lands, support recreational activities and boost the economy, the agriculture department said.
The agriculture department has enrolled farmers in conservation programs that have saved soil, improved water quality and preserved wildlife habitat. Since 2009, the agriculture department has partnered with more than 500,000 farmers, ranchers and landowners on these conservation projects.
The new programs announced Thursday are the Agricultural Conservation Easements Program (ACEP) and the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP). Applications for ACEP funding consideration in fiscal 2014 must be submitted by the individual state deadline or June 6, whichever is earlier.
Applications and state deadline information can be obtained at a U.S.D.A. Service Center or at www.nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted. Applications for VPA-HIP are due by June 16 and should be completed at Grants.gov.
The agriculture department is making available up to $366 million for conservation easements under ACEP to state and local governments, Indian tribes, non-governmental organizations and private landowners. ACEP consolidates three former easement programs- the Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program, the Grassland Reserve Program and the Wetlands Reserve Program – into one to improve efficiency.
VPA-HIP is a competitive grant program that enables state and Tribal governments to increase opportunities for owners and managers of private lands who want to make their land available for public recreation. Up to $20 million is available this year for VPA-HIP.

Thrombocytopenia in pegylated interferon and ribavirin combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C
Aizawa N, Enomoto H, Takashima T, Sakai Y, Iwata K, Ikeda N, Tanaka H, Iwata Y, Saito M, Imanishi H, Iijima H, Nishiguchi S. J Gastroenterol. 2013 Sep 25. [Epub ahead of print]
Division of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Hyogo College of Medicine, 1-1 Mukogawa-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo, 6638501, Japan.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine the therapeutic effect and prognostic indicators of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy in thrombocytopenic patients with chronic hepatitis C, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis, and those who underwent splenectomy or partial splenic embolization (PSE).
METHODS: Of 326 patients with HCV-related chronic liver disease (252 with genotype 1b and 74 with genotype 2a/2b) treated with PEG-IFN/RBV, 90 were diagnosed with cirrhosis.
RESULTS: Regardless of the degree of thrombocytopenia, the administration rate was significantly higher in the splenectomy/PSE group compared to the cirrhosis group. However, in patients with genotype 1b, the sustained virological response (SVR) rate was significantly lower in the cirrhosis and the splenectomy/PSE groups compared to the chronic hepatitis group. No cirrhotic patients with platelets less than 80,000 achieved an SVR. Patients with genotype 2a/2b were more likely to achieve an SVR than genotype 1b. Prognostic factors for SVR in patients with genotype 1b included the absence of esophageal and gastric varices, high serum ALT, low AST/ALT ratio, and the major homo type of the IL28B gene. Splenectomy- or PSE-facilitated induction of IFN in patients with genotype 2a/2b was more likely to achieve an SVR by an IFN dose maintenance regimen. Patients with genotype 1b have a low SVR regardless of splenectomy/PSE. In particular, patients with a hetero/minor type of IL28B did not have an SVR.
CONCLUSIONS: Splenectomy/PSE for IFN therapy should be performed in patients expected to achieve a treatment response, considering their genotype and IL28B.

July/August 2001
Malandro Records
Were it not for small, independent labels like the Brazilian music-oriented Malandro (based in Cincinnati, of all places) deserving artists like guitarist Richard Boukas and pianist Jovino Santos Neto might not have much opportunity to craft records like this. Neto is a Brazilian based in Seattle, an acolyte of the wondrous Hermeto Pascoal, with whom he worked extensively prior to relocating to the States. Boukas is a New York-based, largely acoustic guitarist who fell head-over-heels for Brazilian music years ago and hasn't looked back. An educator at the New School in the jazz department, he too is deep under the spell of Pascoal.
The material the duo explores is a latticework mix of their originals and Pascoal's songs. In the main, Boukas engages his nylon-string guitar these on 14 duets, and the results are unrelentingly pretty, delivered with an unmistakable earnestness. After a while, though, Boukas' more-than-occasional vocal accompaniment wears a bit thin: too much bob-a-doo-wee/bob-a-doo-wow wordless warbling. His voice is not without charm, but it would have lent more to the date had he brought Portuguese lyrics to these songs where appropriate.

Townsend, Tennessee - Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Welcome to the Fishing Report. I drove to work at 8:05 am and the traffic was almost non-existent. I expected more on a holiday weekend. The scene at the swinging bridge was much different. There were four trucks parked there. Anglers were in the river trying to catch stocked trout. I talked to a couple of kids. They had not caught anything yet. The water looks good. I have not seen Little River in over a week. Paula and I have been on vacation. It is good to be home.
The flow is 125 cubic feet per second right now. Normal is 212 cfs. We could use some rain. The water temperature is 63 degrees.
Daniel says fishing has been fantastic in the Park. It is that time of year. Trout are liking yellow flies which would indicate that are tuned in to Yellow Sally Stoneflies. Some good dry fly patterns to fish are #16 Yellow Stimulators, Yellow Elk Hair Caddis and the Yellow Neversink Caddis. Try nymphs, like a Bead Head Pheasant Tail or Tellico. Terrestrials should be very active too. Cicadas are not here yet. They have emerged in other Counties in Tennessee, just not here. Fishing will be best early and late. It is really going to get hot over the next few days. Expect highs in the 90's, lows in the 60's and no rain through Wednesday.
I don't know for sure yet, but I bet the tubers will be out in droves this weekend.
Middle Tennessee Fly Fishers is holding a outing at Elkmont. I should see plenty of good friends this weekend from the club. I've already seen a couple of guys.
The lakes should be fishing well. Paula and I spent a week fishing Dale Hollow Lake. Fishing was excellent there. But, the lake was dropping fast early in the week and the surface temperature is warm. Mornings started out with a surface temperature at 70 degrees then climbed to 80 degrees later in the day. We had to get our flies down several feet to catch the larger fish.
We never figured out the smallmouth bass. We caught plenty of largemouth, bluegill and shellcrackers. Some smallmouth bass were landed but they were not as big as the largemouth bass w caught. We saw thousands of smaller panfish but we used larger flies so they would not be able to get hooked. When we felt a tug we would strip strike in case they were small. That way our fly stayed in the water and maybe got down to bigger fish. We did not see or hear any cicadas there all week. We pretty much had the lake to ourselves and never saw one person fly fishing.
Paula just walked in and showed me a fly Lefty Kreh tied for her. I guess she just got it in the mail. When she took Lefty to the airport after Troutfest he promised to send her his favorite bass fly. And he did. It is a floating streamer with a spun deer hair head, silver flashabou and marabou for the body. It is perfectly tied. He told her in the note to retrieve it slowly. Lefty loves fishing for warmer water species using a fly rod. I just don't understand why people around here don't do it. I know, some of our friends and customers do but you just don't see people fishing on the lakes around here with a fly.
If people only knew how well it works they would. Paula switched to a crawfish colored fly that we used in all sizes on our Dale Hollow Trip on the last day. After a couple of casts she hooked and landed a 9" bluegill. I measured it. I had been using a larger version for bass earlier. They liked it too. So, last night I started tying more crawfish orange flies.
I spent a few hours on our vacation tying flies. I took everything I needed to tie about any warmwater fly we use. When the bass started taking our bluegill flies, I simply tied the same pattern on a bass stinger hook. And, it worked. We needed weighted flies to get deep enough to catch fish during the day. They needed to be larger to hook and hold the bass. I bet these fish had never seen anything that looked like these flies. I believe that is why they work so well.
Dale Hollow is a beautiful lake and we enjoy the resort where we stay. It's nice to have the boat in a covered slip near the cabin. I got a jolt one day when I filled up one of our 3-gallon tanks at the marina. It cost $16. But, our little 20 HP four stroke can get us where we want to go and fish all day on about one gallon of gas. That little Mercury is one fine engine…no smoke, no smell, almost no noise and it is not throwing oil out on the water. I like that.
Have a great day and thank you for being here with us.

Spike Lee's made quite the impression on the sneaker game, hasn't he? While his tenure as an Air Jordan spokesperson was short-lived in comparison to the entire span of the Air Jordan, he made his mark in (arguably) the best stretch of releases – the Air Jordan III-VI – while making a comeback with the Air Jordan XX. The Son Of Mars is a tribute of sorts, encapsulating those five models in a finely-tuned hybrid model, and it finally arrives in a classic Bulls colorway after initially releasing in 'Pop Art' and 'Club Purple', Best Son Of Mars colorway yet? Find out on June 2nd, when these are scheduled for a release, but flip through Jordan Brand's official images below for a closer look.

Avainer: What got you into BYOND? Do you ever regret joining BYOND?
ExPixel: tually got to BYOND by using google. I don't regret joining it at all, I was actually going to quit everything then I reconsidered programming after joining BYOND.
Avainer : How did you learn how to program?
Expixel:I wish I knew the answer to that. One day I was surfing around on the internet and the idea hit me to make my own game. The somehow over the years I slowly learned random bits of information that later formed my kowledge of different programming languages.
Avainer: Name the developers that you really respect ?
Expixel:I respect Garthor because he answered every question that I have ever asked on the forums myself. I don't think he's around anymore but he made a huge contribution to the community. Another developer I really respect is DiviveTraveller because he's also helped me out with many problems with DM and other programming languages. Calus CoRPS is just a good person and general and so is Stephen001.
Avainer: Regarding your rather helpful libraries; why did you create them?
Ex Pixel They are usually things I used or planned on using then after a while I decide to just share them with everyone else in the community.
Avainer: I've seen people saying ' I am not Expixel level', do you consider yourself an expert at DM?
ExPixel: I've never seen anyone say that...EVER. I know most of the reference by now (except for SLIDE_STEPS but who could blame me?) but I wouldn't call myself an expert. I'm no expert in programming logic, I'm good at problem solving but there are somethings I haven't developed the necessary skills for yet though I am working on it.
Avainer: What do you think programming is all about?
ExPixel: Absolutely. Like many other people, I use to think that programming was all about math. Don't get me wrong I'm not bad at math (I can do it pretty well when I'm not being lazy) but that was a deterrent for me at first. I do math so that I can get a good job. Now I think programming is all about creativity and a little logic so that you can find the answers to problems in your code and so that you can write code in a way that it will meet your needs. For me it's like a puzzle where you arrange the pieces in a way that they will work in the way that you inteded for them to work. Sometimes you will have a misplaced piece or a piece that doens't belong and you need the skills to find such a problem and fix it. Most people have such an ability so it isn't too hard to get into programming in my opinion, but others may have different thoughts about this.
Avainer:What is your favorite gaming genre?
Expixel: I don't play games much actually. I find playing a game for too long boring. But I don't know if I have a favourite (I like writing it that way) genre. As long as a game is fun I have no problems playing it no matter what it is.
Avainer: Do you have any advices to the new programmers reading this?
ExPixel: I don't really think I'm fit for giving advice but okay. Don't "copy n' paste", it makes you look bad.
Avainer :Can you do art for mai game?
Expixel: Nope. I fail at art. I have an imagination but putting it on paper or onto any sort of screen is just impossible for me
Avainer: Do you love me?

Decent interview. The format of it was rather horrible though, no offense. It lacked a lot of questions, and space them out more so it can be more organized, it was a pain to read.
Nice interview!
I wish it wasn't all clumped together into a wall of text, though.
Spacing has been fixed. You can blame Liam Howe; he made me skip the spacing and rush into Feval :(
You need to let EG do the formatting of the interviews. Hes can even do those awesome boxes everyone loves so much.

NUO is having an alpha test in november. Deleting un-needed comments.
Hmph, i considered my post rather needed. :(!
If I ever submit copy-interviews here, I just realized I have to create a whole new format here...
Also, every time I read these interviews, I always find myself sad by the length...
Glad you cleaned up the trolling/flaming.
Sadly, finding enough questions is an issue. Please do post suggestions.

Maybe you can look at some of the interviews in BYOND Journalism and get some ideas about what questions to ask.
Good idea; will do :)

Walworth County sheriff's officials say an inmate under guard at an Elkhorn hospital was fatally shot by a deputy during an escape attempt.
Authorities say Alfredo Villarreal, 18, of Janesville, was undergoing tests for an unidentified medical issue when he attacked the deputy Monday about 7 p.m.
Sheriff's officials say Villarreal punched and kicked the deputy in the face multiple times. The deputy used a stun gun on the inmate which failed to stop him.
The sheriff's department says Villarreal then tried breaking a window in his room with a chair. And when that didn't work, he tried to hit the deputy over the head with the chair. The deputy then shot and killed Villarreal who died at the scene.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Department has turned the investigation over to Waukesha County.

Last November I embarked on an effort to get healthier. I had gained a lot of weight and wasn't happy with that. So my plan was to go back to the gym and start cooking more and rely less on processed foods in an attempt to get my eating under control.
I started and it kind of fell off in December (the cooking; the gym thing held on). For the most part, I've been hitting my twice a week goal. There were some weeks where I only went once or didn't go at all but for the most part, I'd make it to the gym. Now that Daylight Savings is here and it's still light after work, I'm hoping to add a day of running during the week which is important since race season is upon us.
So I've been working out, eating more healthily, and planning my meals. I'm trying to snack on fruit more often and even reduced the amount of sugar I consume by simply changing my tea cup (I switched out my 16 ounce cup for a 10 ounce cup) and enacting a one-cup maximum per day. Before, I had been drinking upwards of 2 cups a day, which was technically 4 cups. So it's like I cut out 3 cups of tea per day. Isn't math fun? One of my newest obsessions has been steel cut oats. The best thing is you can make a big pot on Sunday and eat them all week long. And the even better part is you can make a big pot in your slow cooker (I have one of those now. Best thing ever!).
So far my efforts have been working. I've really cut down on the amount of processed meals I've been eating and I feel much better. Combined with the workouts, I'm feeling pretty unstoppable. I'm down 11 lbs so far (and even kept off some of the weight I lost during my church's annual fast at the beginning of the year) and I'm about 8 pounds away from my goal weight.
There has been some happy changes to my routine so it's been a little bit of a struggle to maintain my gym nights but I'm encouraged that I'll be able to keep things up. I like the small changes I've made and after almost 5 months, they're still in tact. I look forward to my gym nights and while trying to figure out what to cook everyday is pretty hard, I enjoy cooking (though I still have my occasional bowl of cereal for dinner).
I've made a lot of small changes but do feel this way is more sustainable. I'm optimistic that I'll be able to lose those last few pounds but mostly I'm excited that I'm on the road to a much healthier lifestyle.

First look at 2012 SOS
I do not know what would be a bigger mistake: to place a high priority on strength of schedule or to ignore it. There was a time when it was a huge factor, but with fewer shutdown defenses versus the run and the pass and with fewer "get well" defenses in the league right now, SOS can be an overrated element.
However, SOS is still an element to consider, which is why we're going to continue to do our best to break down each team's strength of schedule.
As we know, it's a pass-happy league, so the numbers are way up, which makes handicapping SOS vs. the pass a bigger challenge than ever. Rushing SOS is easier to decipher, but then you get into all the committees and dual backfields, which complicates matters. But clearly, more stock should be put on rushing SOS analysis than passing SOS analysis.
As usual, I arrive at my projected SOS by assigning a number grade to each defense against the run and the pass. I then average out all the grades for both for all 32 teams and then rank them from lowest grade to highest for both the run and the pass. That's how I arrive […]

Tips on catching a Feebas please?
May 26th, 2004, 9:11 AM
I know where teh get them, but there's only a 6/500 chance on meeting one :dead: Tips please?
May 26th, 2004, 1:56 PM
have patience, and be patient
what else? o.o;
But once you get one, you can keep fishing in that spot and you'll very likely get tons of Feebas in those 6 tiles.
Hex Maniac
May 26th, 2004, 2:00 PM
i also heard something about chanding the trendy phrase in dewford town to "Mudkip ball", "treecko ball" or "torchic ball" (depending on the starter), but i haven't seen anything yet
May 27th, 2004, 6:29 AM
i did the trendy phrase 'Mufufu Mufufu' (i was feeling evil that day) and i found 3 feebases on the tile after you go up the waterfall on the way to fortee city. i'm breeding em rite now so i can rip all my buddies off. :badsmile: i'm evil...
May 27th, 2004, 6:49 AM
it's mainly all about what frostweaver said, patience.
the trendy phrase changes where the feebas appear but since their
appearance also has to do with your trainer ID number
having the same phrase as someone else won't let them find feebas in the
exact same tiles as you.
Also, when you mix records with people, your tiles change
they catch feebas where you were able to and you catch it where they
were able to, so if your friends already got some, mix records and have them
show you the exact sqare where they caught theirs or, better yet just
trade with 'em and after you breed don't release them incase you want
to later on breed more.
May 27th, 2004, 11:25 AM
Changing the phrase does not make them appear in a certain place, it just randomises the tiles.
An example: I changed the phrase to Beautiful Saturday and one of the tiles was was one tile under under the bridge at the far right, I bet if you made your phrase mine, it won't be in that tile.
NOTE: I meant to say was twice and under twice, try and understand plz
May 27th, 2004, 1:30 PM
I used patiences to get mine n.n Then i caught one (in only like, half an hour :p) a female, then I started breeding the one I caught, and poof, I have a Fleet of Feebas! (but not one milotic -.-)
I *assume* you want it for milotic? Just wondering...or is it for your pokedex, or other reason...
May 28th, 2004, 7:18 AM
Take a look at my avatar, oh you was talking to Lighkia ^ ^

The trendy sayings don't do much... you just have to do alot of fishing...

I had seen many pictures on www.mountwashington.org of blooming alpine flowers. I decided that Karen and I needed to pay Mr. Kevin Hardwick a visit and go for a hike up something with a decent bit of alpine. Two springs ago Kevin had tried to hike Goose Eye Mountain (in ME) by himself. He encountered a number of sketchy stream crossings, one of which was impassible. He vowed to return one day to finish the hike. We figured this was a good chance to do that. I also decided that I needed to get my fancy camera out and take some pictures. I wanted some good alpine flower pictures for my computer desktop. Thanks to Brad Blake, who saw my pictures posted here and identified many of the alpine flowers that I photographed. Thanks Brad!!
The hike followed a brook for the first few miles. There were tons of waterfalls and pools.
A small waterfall.
Kevin poses by a pool at the bottom of a series of waterfalls.
The trail eventually left the brook and went up a cirque. The steep-sided cirque had numerous rock slides.
Here we are on one such rock slide. We almost lost the trail here.
At low elevations everything was blooming, even the Balsam Fir! (Thanks to Brad for the ID)
I liked the little green ends!
These ferns had just started to sprout too! Mt Greylock is covered with these kind of ferns.
I liked these stairs. They make me feel like I was in the Ewok Village.
This was our first real view. Time to play with my zoom! Small Mountain...
Big mountain. What fun! Kevin told me that this is Sunday River White Cap.
While the photo doesn't show it, there is a significant drop off the left side of this log.
I take time to pose.
Tree line is near. Shortly after this we merged with the Appalachian Trail and headed for the summit.
The Appalachain Trail has nice ladders on the way to the summit. They were pretty useful.
We reach the ridge and the views were fantastic! That's Old Spec to the left and Baldpate just left of center.
A similar view of Old Spec (Middle in the distance) and Baldpate (far distance right of photo).
Now that we were above tree line. It was time for me to keep my eyes open for alpine flowers. They are easy to miss because they are usually really small. These ones were really tiny...about half the size of a penny.
More alpine flowers. This is the Bog Laurel (Thanks to Brad for emailing me many flower ID's!).
More ladders on the AT. This section of the trail was kind of spooky. It was like a spooky Ewok Village.
Karen enjoys the green views.
More flowers! This one is called a Labrador Tea flower (Thanks to Brad!).
From the east summit, this was the view towards the NE. Old Spec is in the distance with Baldpate behind it to the right.
The view to the SW, towards the Presidentials in NH. Mt. Washington is the high point on the horizon near the middle of the photo.
This is the west summit (foreground on the right) is the high point on Goose Eye. It was our next destination.
Continue to Part II to see more great views and
alpine flora!

Update, 12:45 PM: Martin threw a scoreless inning in relief during today's IronPigs game, striking out two and allowing no walks or hits. Ruf is 0-1 with a walk and an RBI thus far playing left field.
Marin told Chris Michael of RCN and others that he will throw one inning tomorrow and will be used as a reliever in 2014.
Yesterday, I got word from a source at the IronPigs that Freddy Galvis had hurt himself pretty seriously. Today, Jim Salisbury is reporting that Galvis broke his collarbone and will likely be out 6-8 weeks. No word on any corresponding move to replace Galvis on the IronPigs as of yet.
In some good news, both Ethan Martin and Darin Ruf's rehabs have progressed. Both Martin and Ruf, per the IronPigs, will join Lehigh Valley starting today to continue their rehabs. Martin is rehabbing an injured right shoulder while Ruf is dealing with a pesky oblique.
Thoughts: The injury to Galvis may prompt the Phillies to move Cesar Hernandez back to Triple-A. Hernandez is hitting .357/.429/.510 with 3 HR for Double-A Reading. Meanwhile, it is anyone's guess who Martin and Ruf would replace on the Phillies roster if they were to return to the roster after their rehab. The early money is on a one-for-one swap of Martin and Luis Garcia while Ruf doesn't have a clear spot at this time. Ruf-for-Mayberry would make some sense but John Mayberry has a guaranteed contract and Ruf still has a minor league option.

Speaking of injuries, both in Philly and Lehigh Valley – I noticed that David Buchanan missed his last scheduled start. Is there any injury or health problem with Buchanan, how serious is it, and when should he be able to pitch again?
In your This Week in Phillies History review for May 11- May 17 you missed one noteworthy event. On May 12, 1946 Phillies manager Ben Chapman probably disgusted with the Phillies pitching performance as the Phillies trailed the Dodgers in Brooklyn 13-1 in the seventh inning, put himself on the mound for what was his final major league game and his only game appearance in 1946. Chapman gave up one hit and no runs in the final 1.2 innings. He faced the minimum of five batters, surrendering a single, but erasing that runner by getting the next batter to hit into a double play. Chapman went 0-1 at the plate and the Phillies ended up losing 13-4.
It's too bad that Chapman left a legacy of being a racist and a hothead because he was a very good outfielder and ballplayer. He was a .302 lifetime hitter, who could also pitch, going 8-6 in 25 games on the mound. He will always be known for the way he treated Jackie Robinson in 1947, but this obscures the fact that he made four consecutive all-star teams (1933-1936 for the Yankees and Washington Senators). He had 1,958 and if not for a suspension would have reached 2,000 hits.
I guess Good Player-Bad Guy about sums him up. Anyhow, today is the anniversary of Chapman's final MLB game appearance.
First time poster, been starting to read your site daily this year, figured I'd join the conversation. At this point, it's time to move on from Mayberry. We've seen what he is capable of and know his ceiling (which is seeming to get lower every year). A .138 bench bat is not going to help this team, which has a very good chance to compete in the division.
Hi TimC, welcome aboard. I am hopeful that the Phils will feel that Ruf has earned Mayberry spot, and will get it when he is completely ready to go. I guess we'll find out soon.
Welcome TimC.
Hey- I assume it wasn't. But what was the final ruling on Ryan Howard's bid for the cycle the other week??
It was ruled an error like initially called.
Welcome Tim this is one my favorite boards. I would let Ruf get his AB down in the minors fo the time been. I also believe Gwynn is starting to revert to his .220 type of BA. Its a darn shame about Galvis. As a person who has the worst kind of luck i feel for the kid. The bench is a glaring weakness. The bullpen needs to be re-worked im not sure but what is it 9 games so far.
Good idea to bring Hernandez up to AAA along with Ruf and Martin. Then the team can take time to evaluate if they are ready. Once ready they can replace Nix, Mayberry and any reliever not name Paplebon. And maybe MAG will work his way up too and be available to help out soon as well.
The team is not horrible and has some potential.
Another possibility is make Sandberg manager/player and he can replace Nix as utility IF. At least there would be someone who could hit on the bench.
At Sandberg being the utility infielder.
I like it.
Ruben would over pay though.
Bob D that has to be the post of the year. Throw Juan Samuel into the mix he still looks pretty buff.
Nix outrighted. Potential for a Cesar second chance? Any dark-horse candidates to take the utility infielder spot?
Ruben has several options but this guy is an old farm hand so probably more to his liking.
waiting to hear who got traded, maybe a relief pitcher will be thrown into the mix since the ones on the team have not been able to throw very well themselves

Annie has played keyboards since she was one-and-a-half years old. Coming from a family of musicians and artists helped. By the time she was four, she had been thrown out of classical lessons for hearing intricate pieces (she has perfect pitch) and playing them back to the teacher. She started doing gigs.
At eighteen she got a Hammond B-3 for graduation and almost exclusively played the organ for ten years. Despite winning a scholarship to Carnegie Mellon for opera in 1971, she went on the road instead. She opened for B.B. King in Las Vegas at eighteen, and played with Louis Prima, The Four Coins and her own trio until 1984Read more

Governor's Daylight Savings Challenge Springs School Kids Into Action
DATE: April 4, 2006
Contact: Communication Office
BURLINGTON – A state renowned for changing colors in the fall is becoming known to Vermont school children as a place to "eat colors" every spring.
During the week of April 3, children and their families are encouraged to eat more colors (fruits and vegetables), move more and turn off the television during the Daylight Savings Challenge.
Previous challenges, developed by Gov. Jim Douglas as part of the Fit & Healthy Kids initiative promoting health eating and increased physical activity, involved more than 1,000 students from 70 schools from across the state.
"Every year the highlight of the Daylight Savings Challenge for me is reading the letters from school kids," Gov. Douglas said. "A 7-year-old from Manchester wrote last spring, 'I either take a walk in the woods or take a bike ride – then I go in my house to eat at least two different colors. I also help my Mom shop for colors.' I receive hundreds of these types of letters from inspired young people in Vermont who feel empowered to set an example not only for themselves but for their parents as well."
Vermont schools, preschools and childcare centers are encouraged during the week to find ways to incorporate healthy eating and physical activity into academics, including tracking daily fruit and vegetable consumption or minutes of physical activity logged each day.
The most creative school to incorporate the challenge will win a visit from Gov. Douglas and be invited to walk with the Governor in Montpelier along with 12 individual challenge winners on April 29.
Every challenge winner will also meet Andy Bishop, a former professional cyclist who rode with the winning Dutch team in the 1988 Tour De France.
For more information and tracking sheets schools can utilize to chart nutrition and physical activity, visit http://healthvermont.gov/fitandhealthy.aspx, or call the Vermont Department of Health at 802-863-7330.

A Confusing Quarter Life Crisis: Generational Pass Up.
By Jayce Scott · August 6, 2009
Today was super confusing. I had a non traditional student come into my office today with a roommate issue. By that I mean she was a twenty three year old graduate student, with an internship at our student union department, lived on campus and was an international student from Switzerland. I believe quarter life starts differently and at widely varying times in a young person's life. By the math, this young lady was definitely in the ¼ category and thus fair game for me to comment on. But, it was the uber Millennial aspects of her personality which made me think I was seeing the next wave of quarter lifers, the next generation, that I might be heading quickly into a new demographic category and no one has come up with a new name for these kids punching out of our grand matriculating college apparatus.
But at the beginning of the meeting, no big whoop. Just another cog in the diverse student body machine of campus. And probably her roomie issue was going to be in the well worn categories of bills, lifestyles, behavior conflicts, levels of slobby or INFP personality types from the Myers Briggs tests.
I was happily wrong, but terribly perplexed after our discussion and my attempts to help her with her unique situation. It left me wondering, pondering many questions about life, good versus evil, is there a God, and is there already a generation gap, stimulus packages and how I could somehow flesh out a small off Broadway script from our hour long meeting.
And hopefully by blogging this out, I might help you the reader. And I might contribute in some small way to the betterment of mankind and finally to remove the nagging mental tumor of our encounter from a rapidly degrading mental state of my professional and personal mind.
So here we go.
Well, my appointment did eventually make it in, wet hair and frumpled clothes not withstanding on her sleep deprived, unkempt, inked up, iPod budded ears and some sort of Asiatic language tattoo print on her nicotine stained left finger. As I like to ice breaker as soon as I can, and just got the ear phones ejected from her ears, I asked about the finger tattoo. She told me it was tribal.
Oh, I love that one. I get this tribal thing all the time. Your last name is Johnson sweetie and the last tribe you were in was sometime around 200 AD in some Anglo-Saxon wave into Britain. Plus it is in Japanese and was probably inked by a Honduran guy who could not even speak English. But, in her defense I was also told it meant peace in mind. I took it's garbled print's advice and Zen'd myself for the issues ahead.
Okay, outside of her apparent trust in late night body painting, her reason for visiting me. This one was about a relationship problem with the roomie and the infamous third roommate or in other words, the shacking boyfriend.
Here is the simple exchange.
"Cathy, thanks for coming in. I hope we can help ya out. Tell me what's going on."
"My roommate and I are not speaking because of a big argument over my boy friend sleeping over some nights during the week. It's not like we're bugging her. We're quiet and he is usually gone before she even wakes up. Her big hang up is like that my guy…ummm, like we're sleeping together…she thinks, like I am a whore. I mean like I'm a good girl, I don't sleep a around. She and I are even in College Sister's for Christ and she is like, ummm spreading around rumors that I am not a virgin. I am."
Okay. Me likey this. Sounds interesting. Sounds like a few standard responses of diversity, respect, a counseling appointment, maybe some mediation or in the end a new roommate assignment might be in order. Been down this track many a time. I could handle this.
Then she hit me. "I am still a virgin. My boyfriend and I only have anal sex because we are saving each other for marriage.
My mind did a needle scrape across the cliché record. "Anal sex?" I was barely listening to her story which was the same one I had heard a thousand times before in the roommate genre, but when the term anal came up, followed by sex…and when put in conjunction with the fact that his little coed still believed she was a virgin. Wow!
She began to boo hoo a bit and I handed her a tissue from our large supply of boxes of Kleenex. From there out, I did not recall much of what she said, but I doled out some advice about respecting privacy and belief structures. Then there was the standard comfort zone speech. I am pretty sure she got the drift that if you want peace in your abode, you have to have it with your partner and for now she lives with one person and that's the gal you need to make happy. If you need to shack…stay at the boyfriend's. Not sure I helped. Not sure I could.
The main thing I wanted to concentrate on after she left was a puzzling question. Anal sex = virginity? Somehow this fellow of hers had the creative salesmanship to be able to convince her that taking one up the butt was still considered non-sex. What a slick willy…no pun intended. This guy could possibly run for President some day. Absolutely, fascinating.
What I am getting at here is the idea, we might be seeing the defining aspect of the next generation. That the quarter lifers are coming to a new era. That those of us in such, might be leaving early into a thirties-something era not by right of age, but by the difference of behavior and belief. I think the chief word for the new twenty-somethings is gullibility.
The new ladies and gents coming out and up will do anything, fall for anything and never have any idea as to why they did it, what cause they did or did not support, what they believe in and why so?
Maybe I am just bitching here, but wow. I am certainly not old enough to be griping about young people, to be shaking my fist and chatting about the good ol days, but be on the look out. These kids are coming and you might just see your quarter lifer personality acting more like your parents way sooner than you thought.
