Victory! Georgia Aquarium's Application to Import Belugas Denied
Virtual (and perhaps a few real) champagne corks are flying at PETA over a decision by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Fisheries Service to deny the Georgia Aquarium a permit to import 18 wild-caught beluga whales from Russia. This could spell the beginning of the end for wretched exhibitions of whales imprisoned at aquariums and marine parks such as SeaWorld, which would have acquired some of the whales for each of its locations.
UPDATE: Life in a concrete tank is no life at all for sensitive, intelligent belugas, and that's why PETA is giving the federal court a round of applause for its decision to uphold NOAA's denial of the Georgia Aquarium's application—which would have subjected these animals to a lifetime of deprivation, breeding, forced performances, and being put on display for gawking tourists. PETA will continue to push for the rehabilitation and release of these whales and every ocean mammal still condemned to swim in endless circles in a marine park.
We're also raising a toast to the thousands of you who responded to PETA's calls for action during NOAA Fisheries Service's consideration of the application as well as to Kim Basinger, who submitted a strong appeal on PETA's behalf.
No Excuse for Enslavement
Among the (excellent) reasons given by NOAA Fisheries for denying the aquarium's application are the agency's concern that allowing the belugas to be imported could hurt "the population that these whales are taken from," that it would "contribute to the demand to capture belugas from this stock for the purpose of public display in the U.S. and worldwide," and that "five of the beluga whales proposed for import, estimated to be approximately 1½ years old at the time of capture, were potentially still nursing and not yet independent." Let's hope Russian authorities will also do the decent thing and set the belugas free.
Thanks to the film Blackfish and PETA's lawsuit against SeaWorld for violating orcas' right to freedom under the 13th Amendment, people are now aware of the cruel rodeo-style capture of whales from their pods in the ocean and how humans are endangered (sometimes fatally) by their proximity to these severely distressed animals in captivity. What's less well-known—but no less atrocious—is how captive adult orca males are masturbated by their keepers to produce semen that is used to inseminate females artificially in order to produce babies who can be held prisoner and exploited.
What You Can Do
Momentum is on our side, so we can't afford to slow down now—please help PETA keep the pressure on SeaWorld and other marine animal parks and aquariums until every whale swims free.
Commenting is closed.
Hooray for the whales and those making the life saving decisions. We can only hope Russia hears our voices and let's all the captive animals go.
Tonya, I agree I just left the movie Blackfish and my, heart it hurts! I'm shocked it has taken me 20+ yrs to know about this! I have sent the you tube trailer to everyone I know as a "must see!" I ready to make a difference, I pray god takes over soon, and the animals are freed, I can't even Imagine what. TILIKUM is going through, for me to sit here and think about him all alone in the small tank, I can't even fathom! My heart goes out.
"BLACKFISH" opened today at the Camelview 5. I promise to Never Ever visit another Sea World park in my life time. I left the theater as though I had just attended the funeral of a dear friend. My heart is still in my gut! I encourage any friend of mine to attend a showing. My condolences go out to the lives that have been lost. Tilikum is not a predator yet he is a victim! Those poor beings need to be set free to live the lives they deserve to live. FREE TILLY!
Help these beautiful creatures, please!
An Animals freedom should always be given and should never have to be earned. Animals deserve this as much as humans. I often remember quotes or statements made from humans in movies. In Avatar Sigourney Weaver said "If you want to share this world with them, you need to understand them." So true even with animals this should always be applied because it is their world to……
Please let them live free.

Bellaire council steps outdoors
BELLAIRE While the rainy weather put a damper on the kickoff of Bellaire's All-American Days Festival that began Thursday, it didn't prevent village council from hosting its bi-monthly meeting outside under the cover of the newly constructed gazebo in the village park.
However, the meeting was relatively uneventful as councilmen Jim Piatt and Josh Meyer were not in attendance, leaving council at least one person short of being able to waive the three-reading rule and pass neither an ordinance nor a resolution that were read during the meeting.
First up was an ordinance authorizing Mayor Vince DeFabrizio to convey the deed to less than an acre parcel of property at the village's commerce park to the Belmont County Port Authority.
The land, where Sno-Biz is currently located, would be turned over to the port authority for marketing purposes.
Next up was a resolution allowing the mayor to extend the village's contract with the East Ohio Regional Solid Wastewater Authority.
Both will be heard for a second reading at the next regularly scheduled council meeting, slated for Thursday, June 20 inside council chambers.
Village Administrator Dan Marling gave an abbreviated report to council, noting that water collections for the village were continuing to improve.
Marling did explain that the funding to repave and repaint the lines at the village's main parking lot was done so with money that came from the parking fund and not the general fund.
Bellaire Police Chief Mike Kovalyk introduced two of his newest officers to council, noting that they have been primarily working night shift and have been an asset to the department.
Solicitor Joe Vavra told council that he's drafted a joint resolution that will go ahead with creating a joint fire district, along with Pultney Township.
Before putting it to a vote before council, Vavra explained he wished to have the Pultney Township Trustees examine the ordinance and make sure that the language reads as they'd like it.
Both the trustees and village council would have to agree to the language in the ordinance before moving forward.
Similar to the recent formation of the Ohio River & Western Fire District, comprised of Mead Township and Shadyside, this fire district would need to have a levy passed by citizens in its proposed coverage area.
So while council and the trustees can pass legislation officially creating the district, without funding, it would not be able to go forward.
Once created, the official fire board can be named, along with the solicitor and fiscal officer, who would then work to determine the millage amount for a potential levy.
Members of village council previously stated that public meetings will be scheduled so citizens can be heard and ask questions in relation to the fire district, which is to be known as McMahon Valley Fire District.
A letter of correspondence from Dan Brown was read, asking that in the future, consideration for the trees in the village park be considered signs and flyers are to be displayed in the park.
Brown complained that he and others had notice flyers being nailed and/or stapled to the trees recently.

The Plymouth Post 40 and Wareham Post 220 Legion baseball teams have seen a lot of each other over the last week. They ended the regular season on the diamond Sunday and then went straight into a Zone 10 best-of-three playoff series against each other.
The Plymouth Post 40 and Wareham Post 220 Legion baseball teams have seen a lot of each other over the last week. They ended the regular season on the diamond Sunday and then went straight into a Zone 10 best-of-three playoff series against each other.
The series would go the distance before Plymouth finally came out on top with a 9-1 win at Siever Field Wednesday night on the strength of a two home run, four RBI performance by David Murphy.
Murphy, who sent one into orbit against Wareham in the final game of the regular season, went yard twice in the series-clinching win. A blast in the first inning staked eventual winner Kenny Drew to an early 3-0 lead. After walking and scoring another run in the third, Murphy was back for more in the fourth with a two-run shot off a Tyler Ferdinand offering.
Brandon Gallahue chimed in with a two-run dinger of his own off Wareham starter Sam Bacchioci during a four-run third inning rally.
Wareham had runners on base in every inning against Drew, but Plymouth turned four double plays behind the big right-hander to keep the damage to a bare minimum.
Post 40 jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, but it could have been even more as over-aggressive base running saw runners tagged at home and then third base to end the first two innings.
After allowing three hits over the first two innings Drew settled down, walking five but allowing just two hits over the final five innings.
Already leading 3-0, Plymouth used the Gallahue blast and an RBI double from Joe Kingsbury to extend the lead out to 7-0 after three innings. Cody Holmes rode home on a Murphy homer in the fourth that added two more to the growing run total. After issuing that home run, Ferdinand retired seven of the final eight batters he faced.
Wareham got to Drew for a run in the top of the seventh when pinch-hitter Jared Gamache's sacrifice fly plated Wiley Knight, who had double to start the inning.
Plymouth, along with the other Zone 10 survivors Hingham and Kingston, will now wait until Saturday's seeding meeting to find out when and where they will play next. The Brockton vs. Marshfield series went to a third game and is scheduled to finish up tonight.
Game 2
Wareham 4, Plymouth 2
After dropping an 12-2 decision Monday night at Siever Field in Plymouth, Wareham responded in a big way, rallying back from a 2-0 deficit to beat Post 40, 4-2, Tuesday. Tim Reilly went the distance, recording the final out of the game under immense pressure as the tying run stood less than 180 feet away.
In a pitching duel between two grinders, Reilly and Plymouth's Brian Christian got the call to take the hill Tuesday night under the Spillane Field lights. And neither disappointed.
After matching each other zero for zero in the opening two frames, Reilly relented first, giving up a pair of runs in the top half of the third.
Plymouth's No. 9 hitter Nick McFarland smashed a double into the left-field gap to lead off the inning and was moved over to third on a sacrifice from Ryan Moskos. McFarland scored on a soft flare to right by Holmes. Holmes advanced two bases on a throwing error to try to cut down McFarland and then scored on a sacrifice fly by Murphy.
But Reilly was able to escape further damage, a growing theme in a battle-weary night. For every threat Post 40 presented, the right-handed hurler had just the answer, albeit, he got by with a little help from his friends.
Knight made a leaping snag of an errant infield throw and tagged a Plymouth runner in the fourth to prevent damage. An inning later, the Tabor junior-to-be saved a run or perhaps more with a leaping grab of a rocket off the bat of Holmes. Rising to his feet quickly, Knight tossed a bullet towards second to catch Moskos in a 3-6 inning-ending double play.
Ferdinand joined the act in the sixth ranging deep into the outfield grass, reaching across his body to make and retrieving a bounding ball in time to catch a runner at first for a crucial out.
The 2013 Wareham graduate also accounted for Post 220's first run of the game, laying down a beauty of a bunt in the third to claim an infield single. The speedster made his way around the bases with a steal and a passed ball. Shortstop Chris Carando plated him with a one-out RBI single. Carando also stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch to Zach Angelo.
Following an Angelo strikeout, catcher Luke Mattar played some two-out bingo with a powerful smash into the gap, tying the score at two apiece.
Wareham added a pair in the sixth when third baseman Nate Strawn turned a double into a run with a stolen base and a wild pitch. Zach Sass followed with a walk, stole second and also advanced on a wild pitch. Bacchiochi knocked home Sass with a grounder past the outstretched glove of Christian for the game's final run.

The school boards for the Highland Park and Bushland school districts have voted to extend their superintendents' contracts for an additional year, but neither district approved a salary increase.
Bushland Superintendent Don Wood and Highland Park Superintendent Mike Brown each have three-year contracts that will now expire June 30, 2015.
Brown said the district will wait until the summer to make a decision on pay raises for the entire staff, including himself.
"If we're unable to do any kind of pay raises for others, I will decline one as well," Brown said.
Wood also said he did not want to accept an increase until the district could be sure all employees would receive a pay raise.
Wood's current salary is $119,900, and he has been superintendent at Bushland since 2009.
Brown's salary is $116,104, and he has been at Highland Park since 2010.
Wood said he is pleased with the security an extended contract provides.
"It's always nice to know that the board supports you, encourages you and wants you," Wood said. "It does give you a sense of security knowing that you can move forward with the plans you have for your district."
The River Road ISD board of trustees voted Jan. 9 to extend Superintendent Randy Owen's contract to June 30, 2017.
The board also gave him a 2 percent raise for the 2012-13 fiscal year to bump his salary to about $119,850.

American pop/rock Maroon 5 band have recently world premiered the music video for "Payphone", the Wiz Khalifa-assisted track which serves as the lead single from their upcoming album entitled "Overexposed", set for release on June 26th via A&M/Octone! Co-produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco, the sensible pop single "Payphone" debuted atop the iTunes chart in the US last month after the 'The Voice' live performance (and hasn't left the Top 10 ever since), it's one of the most-requested songs on radio, and on the Billboard Hot 100 the song has managed to peak at #3...so it's fair to say 'Payphone' is a SMASH.
As for the newly-unveiled Samuel Bayner-directed visual, well...first of all let's say it's always nice to watch big-budgeted videos, but all in all, I just don't get the 'Payphone' MV plot. It makes no sense IMO. It seems to me like they just wanted a lot of action and chase scenes, so they tried to make it into a story, but then it didn't really work..so. It was entertaining to watch though. And still love the song!

National Meetings
AASHTO holds three annual meetings: the Legislative Briefing, the Spring Meeting and the Annual Meeting, along with many standing and subcommittee meetings. The Board of Directors meets twice a year, usually in May during our Spring Meeting and again in the fall during the Annual Meeting to discuss, review and approve official positions on legislative proposals, the development of official policy statements, membership dues, adoption of the Association's strategic plan, changes in the Associations Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, the establishment of the Standing Committees, Subcommittees, Special Committees, and all other policy matters pertaining to the operation or activities of the Association.
Legislative Briefing
The AASHTO Legislative Briefing provides valuable insights and information for members to take to their respective congressional delegation as well as back home to their state officials and constituents. Meetings give important access to the people working with the Administration and Congress on issues that impact state departments of transportation. The conference serves as a unique experience that combines access with information.
Spring Meeting
The AASHTO Annual Spring Meeting offers transportation executives the opportunity to network and share the latest in industry policies and innovations. Hosted by the home state of the AASHTO President, this meeting includes informational sessions on relevant industry topics.
Annual Meeting
The AASHTO Annual Meeting is a week-long event convened to address a broad range of transportation issues. Several AASHTO committees - including the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors - come together during the annual meeting, which selects a topical theme each year.

If we re-sign david lee at something like a rate of 8/9 million a year we'll still be in great position. Remember that Jeffries and Curry come off the books the year after so we'll have plenty of cap room to work with. As evidenced by the Maynor deal, the franchise is in a great position by being under the cap because it could take advantage of struggling franchises.
Don't fret, even if we come away with nothint but resigning lee and a few other bit pieces, we are still in great positioning.

A quick and nimble lightweight racing shoe, the versatile Mizuno Wave Ronin 4 features minimal cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
The Mizuno Wave Ronin 4: quick, light, awesome. Slip these shoes on and you'll understand what we mean. These super flexible racers are built for speed, with a lightly padded midsole that forms to your foot, bending at toe off and snapping back into place with plenty of energy. The soft breathable upper has a slipper-like fit that caresses your foot as you fly down the road.
Model Number:
Weight: 5.9 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (25mm), Forefoot (15mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How It Fits (based on width B)
The Wave Ronin 4 is a minimum feature, minimum neutral shoe deigned for speedwork or racing.
Comments: I just bought the Ronin 4 after loving my Mizuno Precisions. I am hoping to use the Ronin for speedwork and save my Precisions for the longer stuff. I feel like the Ronin has a generous toebox and heel cup. I did go up 1/2 size as suggested and think it was a good choice. Not a ton of forefoot cushion but, great shoes for speedy short runs!

With the worst of the country's recent bad weather missing Hawke's Bay, the region is set for some "blue skies and passing cloud" for the remainder of the week.
Rain this month has given a welcome boost to farmers after a long summer of drought conditions, with rainfall in some areas now likely to be the first above monthly average since August last year, but the weather is now expected to fine.
While some parts of the North Island endured weekend flooding and tornadoes, Hawke's Bay avoided the worst of it.
"Looking into the extent of the rains, we're basically going into the clearing trend now," MetService duty forecaster Liz Walsh said. "The flow has turned westerly over the North Island, which means we're going into a more showery regime and the risk of thunderstorms has lessened."
Recent rain was expected to start clearing today and remain fine up to the weekend.
"It's basically a westerly flow with fine weather, so it's going to be relatively dry," she said.
"There could be some showers by the ranges possibly, but the outlook is better."
MetService figures on Sunday showed rain had been recorded on 10 days in Hastings this month, providing about 80mm. The historic average April rainfall for Hastings is 87mm. Rain had fallen on nine days in Napier, the total now being just short of the city's April average of 68mm.
Hastings is expected to reach highs of 23C and 24C today and tomorrow respectively, kickstarting the warmer week before registering highs in the early 20s up until Saturday. Napier is almost identical, with longer-range forecasts anticipating the warm weather to continue well into next week.

El Paso adds outdoor fitness system at Veteran's Park
New ENERGI Total Fitness System in Texas Encourages Citizens to Get Outdoors and Active
EL PASO, TEXAS (September 9, 2013) — Playworld, a leading manufacturer of imaginative playground and fitness equipment, today announced its ENERGI Total Fitness System is installed at Veteran's Park in El Paso, Texas. The city of El Paso Parks & Recreation Department, whose mission is to provide indoor and outdoor leisure services to persons of all ages so they can develop skills, socialize, experience nature, relax and live a healthier lifestyle, purchased the equipment from The PlayWell Group, a local Playworld distributor, to help improve the health and fitness of area citizens.
The new equipment is part of an effort by the city to make exercise more appealing for people of all ages and abilities. Playworld ENERGI uses the latest fitness theories and was designed in accordance with the FITT principle – frequency, intensity, time and type – which is endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Council on Exercise. ENERGI includes five stations, which feature three different skill levels, offering a total of 120 exercises. Users are guided through exercises with step-by-step instructions making it easy to build a 15- to 60-minute workout routine with Playworld ENERGI.
"The city of El Paso has made great strides with respect to health and fitness in recent years. However, El Paso is still ranked among the fattest cities in the country," said Jeff Popeone, owner of The PlayWell Group. "Fitness equipment installations such as this one at Veteran's Park reaffirm the city's dedication to providing outdoor exercise areas and decreasing obesity rates."
Research shows that Playworld' ENERGI total body fitness system significantly improves strength, speed and flexibility in as little as five weeks. ENERGI features Microsoft Tag, which is like having a mobile personal trainer to provide guidance on the safe and proper use of the fitness system. Users can watch videos from a certified personal trainer to ensure proper form while doing the exercises. Microsoft Tag utilizes 2D bar code technology to connect real world objects to information and interactive experiences via the Tag Reader app on smartphones.
A playground for children ages 5-12 years old is also featured adjacent to Playworld ENERGI.

Mouilleron, S. and Guettler, S. and Langer, C.A. and Treisman, R. and McDonald, Neil Q. (2008) Molecular basis for G-actin binding to RPEL motifs from the serum response factor coactivator MAL. The EMBO Journal 27 (23), pp. 3198-3208. ISSN 1460-2075.Full text not available from this repository.
Serum response factor transcriptional activity is controlled through interactions with regulatory cofactors such as the coactivator MAL/MRTF-A (myocardin-related transcription factor A). MAL is itself regulated in vivo by changes in cellular actin dynamics, which alter its interaction with G-actin. The G-actin-sensing mechanism of MAL/MRTF-A resides in its N-terminal domain, which consists of three tandem RPEL repeats. We describe the first molecular insights into RPEL function obtained from structures of two independent RPELMAL peptide:G-actin complexes. Both RPEL peptides bind to the G-actin hydrophobic cleft and to subdomain 3. These RPELMAL:G-actin structures explain the sequence conservation defining the RPEL motif, including the invariant arginine. Characterisation of the RPELMAL:G-actin interaction by fluorescence anisotropy and cell reporter-based assays validates the significance of actin-binding residues for proper MAL localisation and regulation in vivo. We identify important differences in G-actin engagement between the two RPELMAL structures. Comparison with other actin-binding proteins reveals an unexpected similarity to the vitamin-D-binding protein, extending the G-actin-binding protein repertoire.

All I can say is that once you decide that you want to go out to fish and not go out to catch fish you will pick up the fly rod more because of the enjoyment of the sport. Hope that makes sense. Also, start tying your own. I believe that is a key part of the sport that will get you to want to work with the fly rod more. You can learn to tie a midge in 5 minutes.
Livin' & Lernin'
Leave the other gear
I totally agree with Heyski. If you want to learn to fly fish, leave the spinning rod at home. You may go thru some hard times but in the end you'll be a fly fisher. It's worth it, imho.
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, unless they fly fish... with apologies to Thoreau
cool Bill that put you at 101 , i'll back out of it.
Okay, this is going to be a long post.
Grumpy- Of course I will never quit using my spin rod cold turkey, but I am already backing away from it. I spent the entire day today working on my casting and practicing different movements and only picked up the spin rod 2 or 3 times. I managed to bring in a 12" brown and a 8" rainbow on a #12 black wooly bugger, and missed a dozen more strikes. I don't even want to go into the number of fish that I had following my bugger throughout the day, so I must be getting better or the fish are more hungry
Gerry- I agree, but I am trying. You guys gotta take into consideration that I picked up a fly rod for the first time maybe a month ago, and have only been out on 5 or so occasions for me to practice on the water. As I said to Grumpy, I didn't fall back on the spin rod much today, only when my tippet would get tangled and I was too lazy to mess with it. I would get bored of the spin rod, and untangle the tippet and start again.
Billy- I am doing my best, don't lose hope on the beginners! Metaphorically speaking, I am VERY thirsty!
heyski and Steve- Next trip I will leave the spin rod at home, now that I'm more confident in my fly casting as of today. I'm nowhere near tying my own flies, or have the resources to start, but I will eventually.
Okay so today I learned a lot, like:
Use a tapered leader to make my casts better, I'm currently using just tippet.
Wait for the pull on the backcast before accelerating forward to cast.
Look back occasionally to see how your loop looks.
And some other stuff.
I met and talked with two fly fishermen today that were more than willing to give me advice. I didn't catch the first one's name, but the 2nd guy I talked to was Dan- our very own fishingman62 here on L.R.O. He was a great guy, helped a lot to talk with someone who has experience, and both guys did. The first guy I talked to was absolutely SLAYING fish on an olive midge, and Dan was catching a few occasionally. Nice meeting you, Dan!
Anyone have more for me?
It took me a while to put the spinning rod aside. once I got my confidence up I just left the spinning rod at home. I like the fly rod trout fishing because I feel it gives me more options of what to present to the fish. If I am getting no results on a dry, I can add a dropper. if that does not work I can swing a bugger or wet fly in the current. Or strip a clousser. I still use a spinning rod at times, working a floating Rapala in the fast water can be a real killer sometimes. Confidence is the main factor, you don't have to have a perfect cast or drift on the Caney, and if all else fails swing an olive bugger in the current. Once you feel confident then head to the mountains, where a good cast and perfect drift is need and you will not pick up a spinner to trout fish again.
The thing I already absolutely HATE about fly fishing is the constant changing of flies. I hate tying fisherman's knots, they're a pain with the smaller flies. I went a few days ago and caught a few on the smallest wooly bugger in my fly box picture, that made me feel better. But I'm learning new things constantly. I can't get my casts straight yet because I don't have the proper leader/tippet setup. I've got one of those straight needles that goes inside of the fly line, and you just attact tippet to that and you're ready to go. I guess I need to go get a tapered leader, and then attach more tippet on top of that and my casts will look better.
Also guys, I'm saving up for one of the TFO Pro series rods, the 5 weight 9' pole. You said to worry more about the rod than the reel, right?
I guess I should merge all of my questions into this thread that way I will never lose track of information. I've been looking at the TFO NXT outfits, my rod and reel are both mediocre at best. Is this a good deal?
Reel is important too!
I don't personally own any of the TFO rods (yet), but they do have very good reputations and would most likely serve you well.
I don't know that I agree with putting a lot more emphasis on the rod than on the reel...escpecially on the Caney Fork. I think you should buy the best rod you can, while still being able to purchase a good reel to match it. The biggest difference between a good reel and a cheap reel is the drag. I've had a couple of "cheap" reels in my time, both of which came with outfits. The drag would mess up on me after a few good uses, especially if the reel happened to get dunked in water.
In the Smokies, I don't know if I can remember a fish ever stripping line off my reel. But on the Caney Fork, it seems like I get into at least one fish every trip that starts pulling line. You don't want a reel with a crappy drag when you're in a fight with a good fish!
My current reel is a Lamson Konic, which I've been extremely happy with. Many people will also recommend the Orvis Battenkill. You can get either right here on LRO's website for under $130. My point is...don't spend all your money on a good rod, then buy a $40 reel to put on it.
All I've heard is "rod rod rod" and nothing about the reel. Honestly, I think I agree with them because it's main purpose is just to keep your line out of the water and let drag out. My reel is 15+ years old from my dad's old setup, and it has the pinky trigger instead of a crank reel. So I'm much more worried about the rod than a reel, but if that NXT outfit is any good that is most likely what I will buy.

Assuming the question means you repay the loan in full in three years, pay no interest in the interim, and interest accrual begins in six months, here's what I think:
8% semi-annually for 3 years = 4% every six months for 6 six-month periods. So we could solve:
$2,500 * (1.04)^6 = $3,163.

Gov. Jan Brewer has five events listed on her public schedule this week, but only one is open to reporters.
And, it's at the Hoover Dam.
The chief executive's schedule says she'll welcome 4-H Ambassadors to the statehouse today and will meet with the "Arizona Associations for Economic" (sic). (The schedule doesn't accurately describe the group's name.) The schedule notes that both events are "closed press."
On Thursday, Brewer's set to speak at a promotion ceremony for Arizona Adjutant General Michael McGuire — you guessed it, "closed press." And later that day, she'll meet with student leaders from the Buckeye Union School District. Again, "closed press."
Brewer's spokesman, Andrew Wilder, did not respond to The Republic's e-mail asking why four of the governor's five events are "closed press."
If you are interested in catching Brewer this week, gas up your car and head to a 2 p.m. Friday "I-11 sign unveiling ceremony" at the Hoover Dam Observation Dec/Visitor Center with Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Insider can't make it, but if we could, we'd be tempted to ask Sandoval how often his events are closed to the press.

The great divide in snowboard gear runs between soft setups
(three-strap bindings and wider, flexible boards) and hard setups (ski-style boots, clamp bindings, and
stiffer boards). Soft setups are favored by surfers and skateboarders. They're better for tricks and jumps. Well focus on hard setups, which are best for carving turns. They're often the choice of alpine skiers who take up snowboarding.
"There are a lot of companies making great boards right now," says Kevin Kinnear, editor in chief of "Snowboard Life" magazine. "But Burton has the most R&D behind its boards. Burtons are bombproof."
Kinnear recommends Burton's E deck ($310) for beginners, the Alp ($420) for intermediates, and the Factory Prime ($450) for experts. F2's Speedster is another good choice for experts.
Coordinates: Burton, 800-881-3138; F2, 619-754-5585.
Boots and Bindings
Look for models with walk/ride switches on the back of the boot, just above the Achilles tendon. Unlocking the cuff makes walking easier and provides greater flexibility for soft-snow riding. Burton's Reactor ($399) offers this feature.
Raichle's Intec 124 boot ($415) is designed specifically to go with its Intec step-in bindings. They're easy to get in and out of. They're also simple and durable. The more gizmos, the more things there are to break.
Coordinates: Raichle, 800-431-2204
"Get a waterproof jacket that's baggy enough to allow for easy rotational movement," says Kinnear. "And you'll want pants that are padded with abrasion-resistant fabric in the knee and the butt — the areas that will wear out first."
Mitts should have scuff-proof palms so they don't get cut by your snowboard's edge when you're carrying it. Swany makes a half dozen models of snowboard mitts with Kevlar-reinforced palms ($50-$80). Beginners should also look for mitts that have built-in wrist guards, as broken wrists are a common snowboarding injury.

Don't buy cheap, gas-station glasses. You can't be sure that they have full UV protection. Its best to stick with proven companies. All the top brands feature full UV and infrared protection.
Bolle's Anaconda Gun Venons ($85) are a hip choice, as are Oakley's Eye Jackets

Yarn Bombing is a movement that started several years ago in many countries in the world, but it's getting really popular lately.
And although it has been given many names like guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting, they all refer and point to the same goal: to dress the city with woven wool, crochet or knitting needles.
In fact, we bombed a street ourselves a couple of years ago, for the opening of a new store in Santiago. Frankly, it was spectacular! People were not used to see something like this, and they were all happy that we colored that boring financial area. But this is just an example of how massive it is becoming, because now we can find this type of wool graffiti in many more places emerging overnight, like these great installations.
It's so pretty, right? I love the idea of this type of art, that doesn't pollute at all and is easy to remove if needed, without smudging or using toxic chemicals. For me, it sounds so eco-friendly fun that I might even start learning how to knit!
