Admin Alert: The Absolute Coolness of the QNTC File System
by Joe Hertvik
Because most OS/400 shops also have Windows servers, IBM provides tools to integrate Windows data and objects with OS/400 applications, including the little understood but immensely valuable QNTC file system. QNTC allows OS/400 processes to access Windows server data from OS/400 applications just as if those processes resided on a Windows client machine.
Like QDLS and QSYS.LIB, QNTC is an OS/400-based file system that resides in a subsection of OS/400's Integrated File System (IFS). But where most other IFS file systems provide access to data that physically resides on your iSeries or AS/400 box, QNTC provides access to data and objects that are stored on any Windows server that is running Windows NT 4.0 or higher in the local domain. This means your OS/400 commands and applications can read and write stream data to stand-alone Windows servers, as well as to Windows servers located on local or remote Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries setups. And that is a pretty cool feature.
You don't need any special software to use QNTC. QNTC is shipped as part of the base OS/400 operating system, but you must have the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for iSeries 400 licensed program 5769TC1 or 5722TC1 installed and configured in order to use it. You also need a working AS/400 NetServer configuration on your iSeries or AS/400 box, which is configured through a later version Client Access Express for Windows or iSeries Access for Windows Operations Navigator. On the Windows side, you generally need a working Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server in order to locate other Windows servers on the network. Once you have these basic items in place, you can configure and start accessing Windows server data and objects from inside OS/400.
To show you how easy it is to set up QNTC access, here's a quick example of configuring your system for this feature. To run this example, you'll need the name of the Windows domain you want your AS/400 NetServer server to join, the IP addresses (or domain names) of the primary WINS server, and, if available, the secondary WINS server that services that domain.
Once you have that information, here's the procedure for setting up QNTC to access computers in your Windows domain.
Step 1: Configure AS/400 NetServer to participate in your target Windows server's domain or workgroup.
AS/400 NetServer is a native OS/400 TCP/IP server that uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to emulate a Windows server. You configure AS/400 NetServer to become part of your target domain by using the OpsNav program that comes with Client Access Express for Windows or iSeries Access for Windows.
In OpsNav V5R1M0, you configure an existing NetServer configuration for QNTC by opening the OpsNav tree and expanding the Network, Servers, and TCP/IP nodes under your target AS/400. Right-click the AS/400 NetServer icon, on the right-hand panel of the screen, and select the Properties option from the pop-up menu. This brings up the AS/400 NetServer properties panel. Inside that panel, click the General tab and then click the Next Start button that appears on that screen. Fill in the name of the Windows domain you want your AS/400 NetServer to join and click the OK button. Clicking OK takes you back to the AS/400 NetServer properties screen, where you can then enter the WINS servers to use, under the WINS Configuration tab. Click the Next Start button, under WINS Configuration, and enter the IP addresses or domain names of your primary and secondary WINS servers, on the WINS Configuration screen. Click the OK button and exit the AS/400 NetServer properties screen back to the TCP/IP panel. Restart your AS/400 NetServer server by right-clicking the AS/400 NetServer entry and selecting Stop from the pop-up menu that appears. Once the server is stopped, right-click the AS/400 NetServer entry again and select Start from the pop-up menu to restart the server with these new parameters.
If AS/400 NetServer isn't currently configured on your system, right-click the AS/400 NetServer entry under OpsNav's Network, Servers, and TCP/IP nodes for your target AS/400. Select Configure from the pop-up menu that appears and run the AS/400 NetServer Configuration wizard, inserting the name of the Windows domain you want your AS/400 or iSeries to join, as well as the IP addresses or domain names of your primary and secondary WINS servers.
You'll also need OpsNav to configure AS/400 NetServer. There is no native green-screen function for AS/400 NetServer configuration. For more information on configuring AS/400 NetServer, consult the AS/400 NetServer entries in the iSeries Information Center.
Step 2: Once you've reconfigured AS/400 NetServer, and the server has been restarted, verify that your QNTC configuration is working correctly.
You can do this by using the Work with Object Links (WRKLNK) command to view all the Windows servers in the target domain that your iSeries or AS/400 now belongs to.
This shows all the servers in your domain that might have open file shares that your AS/400 can access. Scroll down to the computer you want to examine for open file shares and type in a 5 (display) to see what directories that computer is sharing with the network. There is one important item to note before this command will work properly. To access any Windows file share through AS/400 NetServer, the user profile of the OS/400 job accessing that share must contain a user profile and password that is equal to the user profile and password on the Windows server being accessed. This matching Windows profile must also contain proper authority to perform any required option on the share (such as read, write, or delete).
One thing you'll notice about using the WRKLNK command to view all the computers in your domain is that it is incredibly slow in bringing up the list of active domain computers. If you only want to display the shares of a particular server in the domain, you could modify your WRKLNK command to only display that server, by typing in the following:
WRKLNK OBJ('\QNTC\server_name')
This will display that server under QNTC much faster than if you tried to find it by displaying all the network computers by using the first WRKLNK command.
Once you have QNTC configured, and you have a user profile that can perform operations on your target Windows file shares, you can use QNTC to read and write stream file data to a Windows server in the same way you would normally use the root (/) directory of the IFS, the QDLS file system, or the OpenSys IFS file systems in application programs. Your Windows file systems merely become targets for ASCII and stream file operations, which gives you the ability to use your Windows servers to read and update Windows data in OS/400 programs or to back up Windows data to an OS/400-based tape drive by using the Save Object (SAV) command.
More information on using QNTC to access Windows file shares in OS/400 programs can be found at the iSeries Information Center.
With QNTC, any OS/400 program that would normally access stream file data in the IFS can be rewritten to access data on a Windows NT or 2000 server. You can also use QNTC to access data on a Windows 2003 server with Active Directory installed, but it may require you to make a configuration change on the 2003 server. IBM reports that the digital signature feature of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol on 2003 servers affects OS/400's ability to use WRKLNK on these servers' shares or to back up 2003 server data by using the SAV command. IBM has posted a circumvention to this situation on its Web site.

If there is one recipe that reliably yields top-flight fishermen — in terms of basic human traits, talents, root skills — I'm reasonably certain that a hard-wired scientific bent is the key ingredient.
Me? I'm a humanities guy. A creative type. A science guy might base his angling strategy on months and years of careful observation conducted with absolute objectivity and a highly systematic approach to technique.
Outside the charter fleet, where rigid schedules and the need to catch on command force captains to lean on high-percentage methods, you won't find many anglers singing the praises of wire-line or downrigger slow-trolling. Nor will you encounter many casual anglers with a powerful urge to spend their free time monkeying around with cumbersome ground tackle.
"You see 'em?" asked Capt. Russ Benn, pointing at the slick-calm surface. I almost jumped out of my deck boots at the sight of at least a dozen large shadows, one of them the size of a compact car, speeding this way and that, down deep where daylight faded. Nearer the surface, the electric-blue backs of the tiny skipjack tuna I'd been watching swarmed, picking off the silvery bits of butterfish chum as they slid down-drift out of the hull's shadow-line.

Tim Coleman died May 3, in Weekapaug, R.I., doing what he loved to do best at that time of year: scouting the salt ponds and outer beaches for spring striped bass. He was an exceptional saltwater angler and a prolific writer. Thousands of readers lost an advocate and authentic storyteller for fishing in the Northeast, and anyone fortunate to have known Tim lost a good friend.

He has completed the community service, and he has paid the fine. Because of the way that Clayton Baltzer sees the world, he believes this must be part of God's plan.
Still, the Grove City High School graduate now has a New York weapons charge on his record. Baltzer, 19, is a Bible-college student — a camping-ministry major — and took his pocketknife to New York City on a field trip. He did not know about New York's strict knife laws. He now has some fame among knife-rights advocates because of what happened to him.
"I have never been in trouble before," Baltzer said.
His fine-arts class at Baptist Bible College & Seminary in Clarks Summit, Pa., went to New York City on March 27. It was Baltzer's first trip to the city. On the schedule: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the World Trade Center site, Times Square and an opera at Lincoln Center.
Baltzer and his class were at the Times Square subway station when someone grabbed him by the arm and said, " Don't move." It was a plainclothes New York City police officer.
Baltzer has carried a pocketknife almost everywhere since he was a 14-year-old camp counselor. He clips it on his pocket so that the clip is visible, but the knife isn't. He always uses two hands to open it, the way most people would a regular pocketknife.
In New York state, it's illegal to carry a "gravity knife" — a knife with a blade that is released from its handle by flicking a wrist and then locks into place. A switchblade, also illegal to carry in New York, isn't a gravity knife because a spring opens the blade. A typical Swiss Army knife — legal, in theory — also isn't a gravity knife because it can't be opened just by flicking.
The officer had seen the clip on Baltzer's pocket, which gave him cause to search him. He found the knife. In Baltzer's telling, the officer tried to flick it open and couldn't. He handed it to another officer, who did flick it open after several tries.
Baltzer was arrested and charged with the highest degree of misdemeanor under New York law. He had another knife in his backpack, a fixed-blade one he used to whittle for kids at a special-needs camp in Pennsylvania. He forgot he had it in his bag. Police confiscated that one, too.
Two months and two court hearings later, Baltzer was sentenced to two days of community service and fined $125. He paid the fine the day it was levied, and his volunteer camp work quickly took care of the community service.
A New York neighborhood-news website wrote about the case, and it came to the attention of an Arizona-based group called Knife Rights. Knife Rights had filed a federal lawsuit challenging New York's knife laws even before Baltzer's case.
"(Baltzer) is a poster child for the unreasonableness and ridiculousness of the prosecution of honest citizens carrying knives," said Doug Ritter , Knife Rights' chairman.
In 2010, the Manhattan district attorney announced an initiative to crack down on illegal knives. Since then, New York has treated many typical pocketknives as gravity knives, Ritter said.
Ohio's laws "aren't as screwed up as New York's," but they are vague, said Greg Ellifritz, who gives knife training to central Ohio officers and civilians. Ohio has outlawed the carrying of concealed "deadly weapons," which might include knives, he said.
Ohio case law tends to show that a common pocketknife isn't considered a deadly weapon, Ellifritz said. Some common pocketknives can be opened by flicking them with the proper technique, he said.
The arrest should drop off Baltzer's record in a year. The experience has taught him a lesson, though.
"I don't plan on visiting New York unless I have to," he said.

Giant Eagle cuts gas incentive on gift card sales in Columbus
The Columbus Dispatch - October 17, 2012 01:58 PM
Grocery store operator Giant Eagle cut its gasoline incentives on gift card purchases in early October to 10 cents from 20 cents in the Columbus market.
Some area shoppers are disappointed, especially with the holiday season approaching.
Columbus was the only area where Giant Eagle paid double incentives on each $50 purchase of gift cards from Home Depot to Bob Evans. The change "was intended to make the gift card program consistent across our other markets," said Rob Borella, the Pittsburgh-based grocer's senior marketing director.
Giant Eagle made the change "so that Columbus customers can see more impact from the frequent promotions that we run in the Gift Card Gallery," Borella said.
Promotions, like what?
Giant Eagle sometimes runs 20-cent Fuelperks incentives on certain categories of gift cards, including restaurant and apparel retailers, Borella said. But the grocery store chain did not offer these special incentives in the Columbus area "because you guys were on 20 cents all the time," he said.
So while Columbus-area Giant Eagle shoppers will give up 20-cent Fuelperks incentives on gift card purchases across the board, they will gain access to other incentive programs.
"We've done things recently, like with the Gap cards, where they were on a 30-cent promotion," Borella said. "So now, we have the flexibility to bring those offers to Columbus, as well."
Care to tell Giant Eagle what you think about this change in Columbus? Call the grocer's
customer care team at 1–800–553–2324, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., or on
Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Or use the company's

: The cardiovascular risk of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a product of the stress of ECT itself and the severity and stability of coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as other cardiovascular factors. ECT itself represents a relatively low-risk procedure. Patient-specific risk can be defined by a combination of clinical evaluation and noninvasive testing, much of which is aimed at detecting the presence and staging the severity and stability of CAD. Patients at high risk of a cardiac complication include those with severe or unstable symptoms of CAD, and they should undergo extensive cardiac evaluation before ECT. Patients at low risk likely need no further evaluation and can undergo ECT. Patients at intermediate risk should have careful clinical evaluation, and most likely noninvasive evaluation, which should include some form of stress testing. Medical therapy should be continued and/or maximized in all patients with CAD. It is expected that with careful screening, patients with established CAD can undergo ECT safely.

Why is AIPAC Suddenly Part of the Syria Strike Push?
In an article published Monday, the day after word came out about Obama's push on AIPAC, Ed Lasky asks some very pointed questions:
where are all those Arab-American groups? Why don't we read articles about them working on Congressmen? Why hasn't the White House pressured them to become involved in this effort? After all, it is their people being murdered by the tens of thousands. At the very least it would reduce charges about Jews and Israel and Washington — even if Arab-American groups don't have as much sway as other groups.
Aren't these the various groups that raise hell when there is even a whiff of prejudice towards Muslims? Barack Obama has constantly hosted these groups in the White House — and not just to celebrate Muslim holidays. The White House has their contact information and has close relationships with them.
Another conservative political commentator made a similar point. Richard Baehr, in an article in Israel HaYom, pointed out that Obama has not even employed his own personal lobbying group, Organizing for America, to lobby members of congress on behalf of his Syria Plan.
Those are worthwhile points to consider, although, a small amendment should be noted: the Muslim Public Affairs Council came out publicly in favor of American intervention against Syria, in the wake of Assad's use of chemical weapons.
But whether or not Rosen believes it is "fair" to call on AIPAC to put its neck on the line for yet another wildly unpopular U.S. military effort, he ultimately concludes it is sufficiently important for the U.S. to follow through on its stated commitment to act, given Assad's crossing Obama's red line.
While many ridicule secretary of state John Kerry's description of the proposed American attack as a "teeny weeny" strike, Rosen believes that even a limited attack, one which "destroys Syria's aircraft and helicopters, degrades its air defenses and disables its runways, would be a benefit to Israel and the region — no matter who emerges victorious there."
Rendering worthless Syria's air force infrastructure surely responds to, if not entirely disables, the argument for sitting out this fight because either side is monstrous.
Rosen believes America's failure to act "will be a disaster for the Middle East and the world, and it may be impossible to contain the damage."
And Rosen goes further. "Israel's permanent reality is that it lives in that very bad neighborhood, faced with an existential crisis and a Syrian civil war in danger of spiraling out of control." Rosen says that is why an overwhelming majority of Israelis hope that Obama succeeds in convincing congress to act.
And even if the U.S. decides to accept Russia's offer to "guarantee" Syria will turn over all its chemical weapons to the international community – an idea that seemed to erupt from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's mouth without his having thought it through in advance – the political maneuvers and AIPAC's role, its response and its being held hostage, are well worth consideration.
Next time someone asks whether Obama has Israel's back, the likely answer may well be, "no, but AIPAC has Obama's."Lori Lowenthal Marcus

What I want to know, is why Israel wants to support the Muslim brotherhood and Alqaida? The first thing they started doing in Egypt when those people took over was to call for "A million martyrs to Jerusalem".

. Senator Harry Reid has just compared the situation in Syria with that of the Holocaust. There is no comparison since this is a civil war and no one can definitely state which side is using chemical warfare, if not both. Syria is a quagmire. We will get into it and not have an exit strategy. If we are going to war it should be against Iran; declaring war on Syria is basically fighting Iran. I predict this war will end up like Iraq, which I was also against, with boots on the ground and many young American lives lost. I do not know President Obama personally nor have I ever met him. My position regarding his leadership abilities and policies has never changed. He does not have the ability to be a commander in chief and has lost credibility throughout the world. The TV pictures showing the massacre of women and children have not been verified as originating from one side of this civil war. The only way out of this is the position that Secretary of State made at a press conference, whether he meant it or not, that there should be an international committee to verify the source of chemical warfare. Putin immediately came up with the same suggestion and offered it to Syria. This is the way out for our president, and if it can be worked out, a way to resolve this crisis. Hillary Clinton had also suggested this solution.
Before we have the beginnings of what could lead to WORLD WAR 3 , can you assure me that the other side does not have chemical weapons also. Please guarantee there will be no boots on the ground and that Israel will not be attacked immediately. Please tell me we are ready to send our children or grandchildren to war and have more American men and women die.
It's pretty obvious that if the opposition gets into power and has nerve gas, they'd use it, too. It is naïve to think that there are major differences between the Syrian sides. Remember what has been going on in Egypt. The world, especially President Obama, enthusiastically praised the change of regime and "democratic elections" in which Mohammed Morsi was elected president. He didn't last very long, because the Egyptian public is volatile and the same is true in Syria. We should stay out of this conflict. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG
AIPAC should stay out of it, another Jewish blunder. Who are they to assume that the rest of the Jewish community agrees with their decision.
AIPAC should stay out of it, another Jewish blunder. Who are they to assume that the rest of the Jewish community agrees with their decision.
It's very simple.. 72% of the eligible Jewish voters in 2008 and 2012 voted for the anti semitic Obama and the Democratic Party. Who else would the anti seimite ask, but the people he hates so much to help him in this Sitzkreig of his, but AIPAC? The Jews are their own worst enemy. In Israel we see this every day unfold, so why not in the USA?
AIPAC is a whole lot like the state of Israel, they suck up to Obama whenever possible. Their original stance was totally correct but they have no faith in their own supposed power – not unlike the Israelis who have made themselves into a Banana Republic and sooner or later will have to shed that mentality no matter how much it may hurt initially.
here come the anti semites out of their holes and woodwork…do you really believe that little israel has the power to influence the u.s.a, u.k., e.u. u.n., and the rest of the world to do anything? these creeps willcome out with anything…as long as it is ant israel or ant semitic…but remember….we all have our day of judgement…and you vicious jerks can not and will not escape it.
Why would you think that the Jews and Israel will not get blamed for what is happening in Syria. Wake up folks, we stand alone in this world.
I strenuously object to Jewish organizations lobbying for US military action that does not concern Israel directly.
Now, we will all be tarred-and-feathered for trying to push Congress to pass an action that most Americans do not want.
Now, that a deal is likely in place to turn over Syria's chemical weaponry, AIPAC and the Jews are left to twist in the wind.
Thank you for wasting goodwill that may be necessary if Israel is in real danger.
Sucking up to the President when the possibility looms of the military fighting a war that could, if things go badly awry, cause our soldiers, sailors, and marines to take casualties, was a very stupid idea.
For the love of God, do not be used in such a fashion again!
AIPAC has betrayed Israel.
No easy decisions in DC these days. Definitely, this is the hardest Obama has had to work in the last five years! I guess all we can hope for is that a AUMF is unnecessary in Syria, and that AIPAC's willingness to support Obama today is repaid when we get down to brass tacks on Iran.
Again Netanyahu has not the balls to say "no" to the AIPAC and Obama, is better for Israel to be in the same side with Assad, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia and shiites than Obama, Al Qaeda ans sunnies, that is that the US should not get involved any way in Syria's civil war, let them resolve their problems killing each other, for Israel is the best opportunity not get involved saying "yes" to Obama at the same time to Al Qaeda and Sunnies.
Not only Al Qaeda an Sunnies also muslims brotherhood and the jihad's, they are the really enemies of Israel.
And Puttin is a better friend to Israel than Obama, he will protect Israel.
AIPAC is nothing but a bunch of self serving organization Jews. The Jewish people & Israel would be better off without them.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said yesterday that states could cut Medicaid payments to many doctors and other health-care providers to hold down costs in the program, which insures 60 million low-income people and will soon cover many more under the new health-care law.
The administration's position, set forth in a federal appeals court in California, has broad national implications, coming as the White House tryies to persuade states to expand Medicaid as part of the new law.
The statement of federal policy infuriated health-care providers and advocates for low-income people. But it may encourage wavering Republican governors to go along with the expansion because it gives them a tool to help control costs.

Ken Fowser & Behn Gillece: Little Echo
Fowser has a moist, lyrical, broad tone that lopes up and down the tenor registers like a proverbial gazelle. The young vibraphonist, mature beyond his years, is a very expressive player and possesses a bright, resonant tone. His four-mallet approach looks like Gary Burton's and Joe Locke's, but swings harder and is more bluesyoften leading to the belief that he has listened carefully not only to Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson, but also to the prodigious work of Victor Feldman. The two men swap soli with telepathy, kindling melodic fires that are fed by their astounding sense of harmonic invention. The flames of this music are fanned by the excellent Germanson's harmonic stretches, and Okegwo's rhythmic boogieing, combined with Davis' subtle rhythmic shading.
None of the music is credited on the album, but in the ultimate analysis it may not matter. Whoever was responsible for it appears to be an old soulor souls, as the case may well be. There is a fair amount of music here to suggest strong bebop roots that go back to Howard McGhee. However, the soulful "Ninety Five" and the harmonics of "Little Echo" certainly suggest that these musicians also pay their respects to musicians like Les McCann. "Sap" is a fine exercise in modal magic. The brooding elegance of "The Dog Days" suggests that this ensemble can also swagger languidly rather than swinging energetically all the time. Fowser is excellent and forlorn throughout the opening of the piece, and Germanson is languid and beautiful beyond belief. This is a perfect vehicle for a vibraphonist, and Gillace's sublime talent is on fine display hereas is the rhythmic invention of Quincy Davismaking the song a centerpiece to what is a marvellously crafted album.
Track Listing: Resolutions; Ninety-Five; Sap; The Dog Days; Vigilance; Little Echo; One Step at a Time; You; Another View.
Personnel: Ken Fowser: tenor saxophone; Behn Gillece: vibraphone; Rick Germanson: piano; Ugonna Okegwo: bass; Quincy Davis: drums.

Little Sandy's headwaters are found east of Route
11. The three major roads that cross the creek are
Routes 81, 3, and 11. Access can be found at Route
11 and Norton Road off of Route 15 as well as a few
other areas. By Route 3 the creek is very slow moving
as it nears Lake Ontario. This is not the best area
to fish the creek. Route 15 parallels much of the creek.
Little Sandy is the smallest of the three creeks
averaging 20-25 feet across in most areas. Fishing
here is very dependent upon water (rain) as are all
migratory fisheries. When water levels rise from run-off
the fish will enter the creek. Little Sandy is best
known for its runs of steelhead although it does have
small runs of salmon, brown trout, and domestic strain
rainbow trout.
South Sandy Creek is located a few miles north of
Little Sandy. Access to the creek is best found by
using Route 3(Seaway Trail) and turning onto Route
121(south side of creek) or South Landing Road(north
side). From here you can take these roads to the town
of Ellisburg. There is access along South Landing Road(designated
access point) before reaching Ellisburg. Ellisburg
provides access along Route 193 with roads above Ellisburg
such as Monitor and Jocalyn Roads also offering access.
North Sandy Creek is located a few miles farther north
then South Sandy. This creek is generally less popular
then South or Little Sandy. The creek can have excellent
runs of steelhead and domestic strain rainbows after
a good rain. The best runs generally occur between
early October and Mid December although runs can exist
into the spring if water flows allow. Access can be
found using Routes 3(to get to the creek), 193(crosses
the creek upstream from 3), 120(parallels the creek),
and Route 75. These roads either cross or parallel
the creek. Turing onto Route 120 off of Route 3 will
take up along the south bank of the creek. The best
fishing areas are generally found where the water is
pushing hard through pools and pockets. Where the water
is slow moving and "lake" like it is generally not
as good.
The Sandy's near Lake Ontario and 20-30 minutes from
the Salmon River are noted as being "sleepers." They
can be void of fish one day and full of fish the next.
Always remember that you are fishing creeks that are
water dependent (spate rivers). Fishing is hit or miss.
Chances are, if fish are in the river in good numbers
you will "hook up." You have the same chances of hooking
ten fish as you do hooking none. Keep up on fishing
conditions and watch the weather! If rain is in the
forecast try to be there a day to three days after(depending
upon how much). High, falling water that is slightly
stained is generally the best. Fishing techniques include
using a lead sack (slinky) and running line or a floating
line and a long leader with split shot(similar to general
nymph fishing). Either way you need to be bouncing
bottom. The fish, especially during the winter when
water temperatures are cold, will usually not come
off the bottom to take a fly.
Give the Sandy Creeks a try the next time your in
the vicinity of the Salmon River or looking for a new
area to explore. They are quality fisheries with a
reputation of being outstanding when the fish are in.
When water levels are high it can often be extremely
slippery and dangerous since much of the river beds
(especially on South and North Sandy) are shale. Wade
safe and don't fish if water levels are too high. You
will know because the rivers will be torrent. If this
is the case wait an additional day or two and go fish!

With great pride and enthusiasm we recently watched our provinceŌĆÖs young athletes converge on Prince Albert, showcasing their skills as part of the Saskatchewan Winter Games.
This was a wonderful experience not only for the athletes but for their coaches, parents, fans and local volunteers. This was made possible in part thanks to the countless community organizations across our province that make it a priority to foster excellence in our youth. Our community was witness to the benefits -- to both our youth and our communities -- of investing in these programs.
Sport, culture and recreation are some of the most powerful tools this province has in enhancing the quality of life of our children and families. That is why our government recently announced a renewed lottery agreement which guarantees that sport, culture and recreation organizations will continue to receive and benefit from Saskatchewan Lotteries proceeds over the next five years.
Saskatchewan lottery proceeds benefit more than 12,000 volunteer-run groups that deliver services to communities across our province. More than 500,000 registered members, both individuals and organizations, are represented by Sask Sport, SaskCulture and the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association. For the year ending March 31, 2013, Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund distributed more than $53 million
Renewing the lottery agreement was an essential action to benefit the families and future leaders of our growing province. The lottery proceeds benefit our children through healthy activities that teach them lifelong social and leadership skills. It is part of our governmentsŌĆÖ overall efforts to make this the very best place in Canada to live, work and, especially, grow healthy families.
That goal is front of mind as we near the 2014 spring sitting of the legislature, and plan the next provincial budget. As elected stewards of this great province, our government is setting goals to maintain SaskatchewanŌĆÖs trajectory of success.
A key part of our plan is investing in infrastructure. We are on track to meet our commitment to invest $2.5 billion over four years. Just this year, our government invested $850 million into schools, highways, housing, healthcare facilities and more. At the same time, we recognize there are a growing number of necessary projects that require funding. Innovative financing is needed and, realistically, we must engage the private sector if we are to keep up with demand.
The strength of the construction sector is building our infrastructure and creating jobs. In fact, Saskatchewan set a new benchmark with $3.15 billion in building permits last year. Between 2005 and 2013, permit growth on a cumulative basis was up 247 per cent ŌĆō more than double ManitobaŌĆÖs rate, more than triple AlbertaŌĆÖs increase and more than seven times the national basis.
Since 2008, our government and Crown Corporations have invested $13.2 billion in infrastructure -- double the amount that was spent in the previous six years.
While the details of the 2014 budget are still being finalized, your Saskatchewan Party governmentŌĆÖs past budgets were designed to ensure all residents share in the benefits of growth.
By the end of 2014, a family of four with $75,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,542, when comparing 2014 to 2007. Overall, Saskatchewan residents have saved more than $300 million through lower personal income taxes.
Over the past six years, other measures to reduce personal income taxes in Saskatchewan have included:
ŌĆó Introducing a new First-Time Homebuyers' Tax Credit in 2012;
ŌĆó Increasing personal, spousal and child exemption amounts on two occasions;
ŌĆó Introducing a new Active Families Benefit of $150 per child for cultural and sports activities in 2009, then expanding the Benefit to include all children 17 and under (previously, it only covered ages 6 to 14);
With projections of steady growth in 2014, there remains much optimism within the province. Of course, growth and prosperity goes beyond metrics. It is about people and about helping our most vulnerable now and into the future. That is what fiscal responsibility and economic growth allows us to do.
While there is still much work ahead of us, we have a plan for growth that is producing results and we intend to carry on with the work necessary to achieve the targets laid out, for the benefit of all Saskatchewan people.

We don't work in a vacuum. Freelock is part of a much larger community. Here are some of our partners who we regularly do business with. We highly recommend them and their services!
Open Source Organizations
As a Drupal company, the top of our membership list is the Drupal Association. We're a company member of the association, which covers supporting the Drupal.org web site, Drupal conventions, and many other activities that keep the community and project thriving.
The Open Source Initiative is an organization that promotes the use of open source software licenses, keeping a list of licenses it approves. As a company with a spirit of Open Source, we find the principles of the OSI of the freedom to freely modify and redistribute software an important contrast to proprietary and rental models of software use.
Design Companies
Eben Design Many of our best looking sites are due to the design efforts of Eben Design. They've got a top notch aesthetic, great project management, and they're nice people, too. Whenever they have Drupal work, they come to us to help, and we've partnered on many sites.
Ply Interactive Ply is another great Seattle design firm, and Ply was one of our earliest customers back when we were primarily doing server administration. Ply consistently brings innovative user experiences to their client sites, and they really know their stuff. They do most of their development in house on non-Drupal platforms, so we don't get to work with them often, but when we do, the results are spectacular.
Ikonic Media Ikonic Media is more of a brand management company than strictly web design, and based in New York, they have an impressive client portfolio. We've come in and cleaned up/fixed up a number of Drupal sites for them.
Public Relations Companies
Jasculca Terman JT is a prestigious PR firm based in Chicago. JT called us up to help them get a 1/2 finished Drupal site across the finish line in short notice, and after nailing that one, we helped them clean up and manage a bunch of other sites that needed attention.
Mobile Applications
SEO Optimists Our neighbors up the street in Fremont, the SEO Optimists are leaders in their field, and can cut through the hype around Search Engine Optimization to get you results. We highly recommend their services if you're looking for SEO.
Stuart Jenner Stuart is an SEO freelancer we've known and worked with for a decade. We highly recommend Stuart for your SEO needs.
Yellow Dog Consulting Elizabeth from Yellow Dog knows everyone in Seattle, and is a geek at heart. She asks the right questions and keeps us on track, helping define our strategy for reaching new customers.
Business Consulting
Amazon AWS The downside of Drupal is you need quite a bit of system resources if you're going to handle much traffic. Amazon Web Services keeps dropping their prices, and they're unbeatable for getting enough capacity to serve up Drupal sites snappily. And they solve the scaling issue as your site grows in usage, providing a clear path to adding a Content Delivery Network, a dedicated database server, and a load balancer to add more front ends. Amazon provides the lowest cost service for running a successful Drupal site and growing it to monster size.
Rackspace Cloud Servers For a while, most of our production servers were at Slicehost, which got acquired by Rackspace. Rackspace took Slicehost's infrastructure and turned it into Cloud Servers, and then partnered with NASA and others to build the OpenStack platform, an open source cloud computing infrastructure. We still have servers at Rackspace, and we still like their technology -- it doesn't quite offer as many features as AWS and it costs a bit more, but having an alternative is huge, and gives us an exit route if something happens to AWS.

While WDC does its version of an economic kabuki dance, the real reason why America is facing default is because the crooks who stole all its money are not being prosecuted!
(from the WEB)
What happened is simple. Congress members were invested in the Wall Street Firms behind the Mortgage-Backed Securities Fraud; the biggest financial swindle since the Great South Seas Bubble of 1721. Congress passed an $8000 first-time home-buyer credit to lure more suckers into the scam, to front load the fraud with fresh mortgages of questionable worth, and raked in huge profits from the "tulip mania" sales of the MBS.
Then the scam fell apart. Foreign banks and investment companies (and indeed entire nations) were brought to the edge of ruin by the fraud and demanded that Wall Street refund their money. Wall Street does not like to surrender profits, even ill-gotten ones, and neither does the Congress. So Congress voted for the "bailouts", which are actually buy-backs, to use public money (and more funds borrowed from the Federal Reserve) to purchase back the bad paper and cover the credit swaps, dropping the costs of the scam onto the American people. This was done despite 90% of the American people opposing the use of tax money to save the bankers form their own reckless behaviors. (Can you say "Taxation without representation?")
At the same time, in 2008, the White House set a policy that nobody on Wall Street was going to be investigated or charged for this fraud, because inevitably the scandal would envelope all the members of the Congress who had their personal fortunes tied up in the swindle. Obama had Tim Geithner go up to New York to intercede with NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to make certain no Wall Street CEOs were investigated in connection with the mortgage-backed Securities scam. (That is obstruction of justice).
During the Bush administration, and accelerating under Obama, tax incentives were created for corporations that encouraged the offshoring of high-paying jobs to other countries. Americans, stripped of their ability to pay their mortgages, became easy prey for banks, who needed the entire value of the foreclosed homes on their balance sheets to stay solvent as the cash flowed out the door to buy back all the fraudulent investment bundles.
In other words, the government took your jobs so the banks could take your homes to save themselves from going to prison for the crimes that made themselves and Congress incredibly rich.
Any questions?

text: [[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ComiColor-JackAndTheBeanstalk_9043.jpg]]''Comi Color Cartoons'' was a short lived series of cartoons, produced by former Creator/{{Disney}} animator Creator/UbIwerks for Celebrity Pictures from [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation November 1933 to September 1936]]. The series was produced by Iwerks to compete with WaltDisney's then-smash hit ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies'' series, and to make up for the losses of ''WesternAnimation/FlipTheFrog'' and ''WesternAnimation/WillieWhopper''.While it would be easy to write off these cartoons as low budget knockoffs of Disney's lavish cartoons, closer examination of the shorts will reveal that they do have several things going for them. For starters, while Disney made his ''Symphonies'' shorts increasingly sentimental and idealistic, Ub kept a more gritty, down to earth approach to his fairy tales, as evident in shorts like "Balloon Land", "Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp" and "Dick Whittington's Cat". Ub also outright ignored Disney's push for more realistic animation, instead opting for a more stylized version of the early 30's rubberhose style that is indisputably influenced by the early works of Creator/FleischerStudios--supported by that Iwerks had at least four ex-Fleischer staffers on board: Creator/GrimNatwick (who often supervised, designed and animated for the shorts in Iwerks' steed), Berny Wolf, ShamusCulhane and Al Eugster.Although the characters were typical one-dimensional cyphers, the stories were handled in a workmanlike fashion, and the animation in some of the shorts is fairly well done--Balloon Land in particular is full of principles such as [[TheTwelvePrinciplesOfAnimation squash and stretch and overlapping action]]. And, being a Silly Symphony clone, lavish color was up front and center, with lush, sumptiously painted backgrounds in each cartoon, and the cartoons were backed up with lively scores supplied by Iwerks mainstay and future WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes composer Carl Stalling. Another standout feature of the cartoons was the occasional use of a proto-Multiplane Camera that Iwerks himself built out of parts of a junked chevrolet car, which actually precedes the completion of Disney's own Multiplane apparatus.Despite this, the series was doomed from the beginning. Unlike with Flip and Willie, Iwerks no longer had {{MGM}} to distribute the cartoons, with his boss Pat Powers having to distribute the cartoons himself. And, as expected, Iwerks shorts simply couldn't compete with Disney's own lavish shorts. After a three year stint of 25 shorts, the series folded and Ub was forced to close up shop, prompting a return to Disney in the following years.Many of these shorts have been re-released on the two ''Cartoons That Time Forgot: Ub Iwerks'' DVD sets. Thunderbean Animation is currently working on an restored Blu-Ray collection of these films, with release date TBA. Several of these shorts have slipped into the PublicDomain.It is also worth noting that one of these shorts, ''WesternAnimation/BalloonLand'', was a runner up on the list of The50GreatestCartoons ever made.-----[[folder:Filmography]]!1933* Jack and the Beanstalk (Nov. 30)!1934* The Little Red Hen (Feb 16)* The Brave Tin Soldier (April 7)* Puss in Boots (May 17)* The Queen of Hearts (June 25)* Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp (Aug 10)* The Headless Horseman (Oct 1)* The Valiant Tailor (Oct 29) PublicDomain.* Don Quixote (Nov 26)* Jack Frost (Dec 24) PublicDomain.!1935* Little Black Sambo (Feb 6)* The Bremen Town Musicians (March 6) PublicDomain.* Old Mother Hubbard (April 3) PublicDomain.* Mary's Little Lamb (May 1) PublicDomain.* Summertime (June 15) PublicDomain.* Sinbad the Sailor (July 30) PublicDomain.* The Three Bears (Aug 30) PublicDomain.* WesternAnimation/BalloonLand (Sept. 30) Runner-up on The50GreatestCartoons list.

Statement from Congressman Fitzpatrick on Attack on U.S. Border Patrol Agents
Oct 3, 2012 Issues: Defense and National Security
LANGHORNE, Pa – Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08) released the following statement this morning on the attack on three United States Border Patrol Agents Tuesday morning:
"My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Agent Nicolas Ivie, killed in the line of duty, and the family of his wounded partner.
These agents were posted at the 'Brian A. Terry' Border Patrol Station, named for their fallen comrade, himself killed while on patrol in December 2010 not far from where Tuesday's shooting took place. This tragic coincidence serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by the men and women of our Border Patrol each and every day."
Tuesday's shooting occurred in an area known as a major drug-smuggling route. According to reports, as temperatures along the border continue to fall, smuggling activity increases, posing a greater threat to U.S. Border Patrol agents.

- Title
- Shadow economies of cinema: mapping informal film distribution
- Author(s)
- Lobato, Ramon
- Abstract
- How do people access movies today? What are the most popular and powerful channels for media distribution on a global scale? How are film industries changing in the face of media convergence and digitisation? To answer questions such as these, argues Ramon Lobato, we must shift our gaze away from the legal film business and toward cinema's shadow economies. All around the world, films are bought from roadside stalls, local markets, and grocery stores; they are illegally downloaded and streamed; they are watched in makeshift video clubs, on street corners, and in restaurants, shops and bars. International film culture in its actually-existing forms is a messy affair, and it relies to a great extent on black and grey media markets. Examining the industrial dynamics of these subterranean film networks across a number of different sites – from Los Angeles to Lagos, Melbourne to Mexico City – this book shows how they constitute a central rather than marginal part of audiovisual culture and commerce. Combining film industry analysis with cultural theory, Shadow Economies of Cinema opens up a new area of inquiry for cinema studies, putting industry research into dialogue with wider debates about economic informality and commodity circulation. Written in an accessible style, this book offers an original 'bottom-up' perspective on the global cinema industry for researchers and students in film studies, cultural studies, and media and communications.

JACKSON, Ohio — To understand why Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ed FitzGerald drove roughly 150 miles to speak to a grand total of about 100 people in three small communities yesterday, look no further than the front page of yesterday's Wilmington News Journal.
On the top left corner of the page is the headline: "FitzGerald to hold press conference in Wilmington." His picture is surrounded by a short story, which reports that he was embarking on a " hometown tour" to meet with public workers and Ohioans. It includes a quote from a campaign news release saying his goal is to meet with those "hurt by Gov. (John) Kasich's drastic 50 percent cut to the Local Government Fund."
There is no response from the Kasich campaign in the 120-word story. So before FitzGerald even arrived at the Clinton County courthouse in Wilmington to speak to about 20 people, part of his mission already had been accomplished: a message — FitzGerald's core message — criticizing the state's funding cuts to local governments under Kasich, unanswered for all to see in the community newspaper. It's a common strategy for statewide and presidential campaigns, to schedule some events more for the local press than to bring out supporters.
"We're going to go around the state and talk about it," FitzGerald said in Wilmington, to about 12 people standing behind him with signs and a few stragglers off to the side. "And I need your help to talk about that because you know the local issues better than anybody else does. You know exactly how those cuts have affected your local communities."
Yesterday was indeed the formal start of FitzGerald's Hometown Tour, which he says will take him to big cities and small towns all over Ohio so he can highlight the state's funding cuts in each area.
His first official swing of the tour ended in the early evening in Jackson, southeast of Chillicothe, where he told more than 50 people that the municipalities and county government in Jackson County had suffered a combined $1.6 million cut from the state's local government fund.
He put that number at $4.5 million in Clinton County, citing, among other casualties of the cuts, a police K-9 unit. He didn't provide a number when he spoke to about 25 people at Warren County Democratic headquarters in Lebanon. The tour began in the morning at a firefighters' training seminar for public officials and reporters in Cincinnati.
At each stop, FitzGerald criticized the funding cuts and the $3 billion in income-tax cuts Kasich has signed into law, which Democrats argue are more beneficial to the wealthy.
"It's like there is a big party going on and you paid for it but didn't get invited," FitzGerald said in Jackson.
Randy Cole, a budget policy adviser in the Kasich administration, said, "What critics of the administration do is they take the cut numbers — which we often agree with — and they leave out the context of what is happening with the rest of their budget."
Cole provided statistics from two different state departments (the auditor's office and Department of Taxation) showing healthy general-fund balances and sales-tax revenue increases in the last three counties FitzGerald visited.
For instance, in Jackson County, Cole's numbers show that the county finished 2012 with a surplus equal to 31 percent of its revenue. He said sales-tax revenue in the county was up 9 percent in 2013 from 2010. FitzGerald credits those improvements to the state's emergence from a national recession.
"Ohio's growing economy has led to increased income-tax and sales-tax revenues for local governments across the state," Cole said. "Our critics continue to try and find anomalies through bad stories in what overall is a very positive outcome of the governor's policies."
FitzGerald's tour is something he first mentioned to The Dispatch in May 2013. He has been talking about local-government funding cuts on the campaign trail for months, but he said yesterday was the formal launch. County fairs were going on just blocks from two of FitzGerald's stops, but he didn't visit either one.
The last three counties he visited yesterday all lean Republican. For instance, Kasich carried Warren County with 68 percent of the vote in 2010.
Girish Manchaiah, who heard FitzGerald speak in Warren County, said, "There are a lot of Republicans here, but when the rubber meets the road, people realize it's OK to talk about tax cuts. But when they affect things like education, safety, getting roads fixed, they realize it's hurting them."
