Will exercising before bed make me wakeful?It can do. If you exercise intensely shortly before going to bed, you may feel revved up instead of ready to wind down. Vigorous exercise can interfere with the production of your natural sleep hormone, melatonin.
When the day's light fades, your brain responds by producing melatonin. Melatonin helps you to slow down and feel drowsy. Levels of melatonin in your body will usually increase at night.
Working up a sweat too close to bedtime or during the night can interfere with this natural sleep cycle. The effects on your sleep cycle can even last into the following night (BAP 2010, CKS 2014).
I like exercising in the evening to wind down. Should I stop?Not necessarily. Light exercise won't disrupt your sleep cycle (Buman et al 2014) and regular exercise during pregnancy can help you to sleep more soundly.
Keeping fit helps you to feel better about yourself, builds your strength and makes you healthier (Baraket et al 2014).
If you want to exercise in the late afternoon or early evening, give yourself at least four hours to unwind before you go to bed. Then your session will tire you, rather than revive you.
Stick to light exercise in the early evening, such as yoga stretches, Pilates or even a walk outdoors. This type of light exercise can help you to unwind and relieve restless legs (BAP 2010, CKS 2009).
Exercises stretch and strengthen your muscles, which may help your body to cope better with the aches and pains of pregnancy (Baraket et al 2014, NHS 2013, Clapp 2002).
If you're having trouble with your back or pelvis, gentle stretches are good for these too. Fewer aches mean better sleep!
Swimming is good for easing any discomfort you feel as you gain weight. Going for a swim may help with circulation problems. Being buoyed in water as you exercise can ease swelling, which is common in the third trimester. A swim after work will relax you and smooth the day's tensions from your muscles.
Find out more about which exercises are right for you.

A french lead team works feverishly on porting OpenOffice.org natively to Mac OS X. Don't get me wrong, OpenOffice.org runs already on Mac OS X. However, the current port does require X Windows. This means the software does not look like an OS X application and it requires an extra package to be installed. These are extra hurdles to overcome and might prevent new users from trying out OpenOffice.org. One solution so far was NeoOffice, an effort to integrate OpenOffice.org more closely with OS X.
It appears another team is working towards the same goal right in the original OpenOffice.org code base. They are ready to present their work at OpenOffice.org Conference 2006 (Lyon), September 11- 13 and Apple Expo (Paris), September 12 to 16.

FLOWERY BRANCH - The Lady Falcons entered halftime dominating every aspect of their match against Dunwoody, except for on the scoreboard.
North Hall knows how important each game is the rest of the way.
Thursday was a special day for Trey Loggins and North Georgia Christian School.
Today marks the last day of league play for Area 8-AAA, and for a lot of local teams, it's win-or-go home time.
ATHENS - It wasn't a high scoring affair and, in fact, the halftime score resembled that of a baseball spring training game rather than a spring football game. But the annual Red and Black game did provide some late excitement in the Black's 18-11 win on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
Flowery Branch quarterback Kanler Coker's spring is off to a good start.
As high schools are gearing up for the postseason in spring sports, football teams are getting ready for spring football practice.
FLOWERY BRANCH - All season long, the boys' side of Region 8-AAA has been a tight race between Gainesville, West Hall and Oconee County. At the region tournament, and with a No. 1 seed in the Class AAA state playoffs on the line, Gainesville emerged from the pack, beating Oconee County 3-0 in the championship on Thursday at Bobby Bailey Tennis Center.
In a crowded Region 8-AAA in which five teams are in the hunt for the final two playoff spots with a little more than a week remaining in the season, North Hall is in a must-win scenario each time it takes the soccer field.
At 93, how does a golfer accomplish a significant first that doesn't involve hitting the ball to an unknown location?
FLOWERY BRANCH - Four games in a week is a tall order for any high school baseball team. To come out with four wins is flat out remarkable.
When Scott Myers took over as coach for the Flowery Branch baseball this season for longtime skipper Jerry Lawler, he had one goal in mind: Return the Falcons to the state playoffs, where they haven't been since 2009, when they were swept out of the opening round by Oconee County as a member of Region 7-AAA.
Banks County is trying to position itself for a spot in the state playoffs and on Tuesday in Gainesville it got all the help it needed from subregion foe East Hall.
North Hall has developed a reputation for come-from-behind victories. Eight times this season the Trojans have found themselves trailing in the first inning, only to turn their fortunes around.
It was a game neither Gainesville nor North Hall wanted to lose and, rivalry aside, it was a game neither team could afford to lose.

The Utah State Legislature is contemplating a bill that would outlaw smoking within a car when a child is present. The bill seems to bring into direct conflict two of the most cherished principles of this conservative group of politicians: 1) choices about our own bodies matter because they impact others, especially our children and 2) government should respect freedom of choice. This isn't the first time we have seen these battles in the state legislature. They have debated similar laws c … [Read more...]

Stewardship and Citizenship at the City Level: Part II
It is easy, and understandable, to get cynical about politics. There are those who choose not to vote out of a sense of frustration because they sense that a vote makes little difference. I think this is a poor excuse, and I would go so far to say that it is unconscionable as inheritors of our freedoms in this country to not vote. My suspicion is that most of those who don't vote do so out of laziness or ignorance and not out of any reasoned political stance of opposition to an imperfect d … [Read more...]
Not Yet Full, Not Yet Empty
I am always disappointed by the apathetic but I distrust the overzealous. And it only seems that the deeper we slide into apathy as a society, an increasingly yawning gap stands between those who feel and do nothing and those who feel that they have all of the answers. It is certainly understandable why a radical and proportionate certitude would seem to be a necessary answer to the contagion of indifference, but I am not convinced that an apathetic or willfully ignorant society is any better … [Read more...]
Citizenship and the Environment: An LDS Primer
Before moving on to a discussion of state and national level involvement, I wanted to pause and consider the broader principles of citizenship, specifically as they pertain to people of faith concerned with the environment. Consider this a prequel to my previous post.A little known passage in the Aims of a BYU education deserves our attention. It describes the aim that a BYU education should be "intellectually enlarging." It goes on to say: … [Read more...]
Stewardship and Citizenship at the City Level
I would like to offer a few posts that explore ways of getting involved in the political process, from an LDS perspective and particularly in relationship to the environment. I want to start at the city level, which is a good place for anyone to start, especially if you are new to political involvement. My perspective is informed by my experiences, and I don't mean to suggest that my experiences should be considered the ideal nor do I pretend to know what the right course of action is in every ca … [Read more...]
Can Literature Save the Earth?
Can literature save the earth? At first glance, this seems like an absurd question, but even if the answer is a definitive "no," it is a question worth asking. One of the absurdities is that hardly anyone reads anymore. How can literature compete with visual media, the internet, or the many forms of idle entertainment our world throws at us? Moreover, who reads serious literature anymore? And why should we expect to learn anything vital about our relationship to the land from creative writing? … [Read more...]

Sweet Fleet
On his latest album, Mules, Mistakes n' Dirt, Fleet Starbuck is painted against a blue background as a mutant. He's nearly mouthless, as if words no longer mattered. His eyes are swollen, as if he's seen too much in life and doesn't want to see no more. But even in this abstraction his trademark cap and dapper suit remain. The bluesman's class shines through, though the joy found on brighter album covers seems to have faded like a Delta dream.
After 30 years of playing blues that move seamlessly from playing-with-your-poodle entendre (a poodle ain't no dog, you know), to gritty heart-tuggers, to parochial salutes that name Miami streets and neighborhoods, Fleet Starbuck has fallen on hard times and suffers health problems.
The Fleetster has always been engaging in concert. He's funny in a way that doesn't belittle his tunes and he always makes sure that everyone knows what "poodle" really means. His vocals often follow the gritty, growly, howlin' lineage from Leadbelly to Albert King and Koko Taylor. He's rough, tough, and straight from the gut. Roots rarely pay in popularity, much less green cheese, but Starbuck was drawn to his music by inspiration, not greed.
The Fleet Starbuck Benefit Show
Music Tech, 4045 SW 96th Ave
7:00 p.m. Saturday, August 14. Admission is $5. Performers and fans can contact Bill Duncan at firstname.lastname@example.com or 786-512-5071.
In his recordings he offers a sound that comes from the source and carries the same weightiness as his performances. He can evoke Otis Rush, Dylan, the Staples, and Muddy Waters -- all in one song. He can stoke and stroke instrumentals that speak volumes without the benefit of words.
Upcoming Events

After Hours
TicketsSat., Jul. 29, 11:00pm
For all these contributions, Starbuck, 55, has gotten back what most blues musicians get: not much. A following, sure, but that won't pay medical bills or rent, even.
On his album True Stories the local blues veteran has a song called "Ain't It Hard." If that were a question, and its subject life, the answer would of course be affirmative. If life weren't difficult, the blues never would have existed. There is beauty in the struggle, but the sheer depths of blues music makes you wonder how humans ever get through this damn existence.
They do it by helping one another, and in the case of the endlessly entertaining bluesman named Fleet Starbuck, the help is coming in the form of one of the most unusual benefit concerts devised. Bill Duncan of GreenFog Studios and the folks at Music Tech music store are gathering bands that will pay to play -- not to showcase for big-time record label executives, but to help one of their colleagues. Each act will dish out twenty bucks to play; another twenty gets them a CD of their performance. Everyone else can enjoy the show for a mere five dollars. All proceeds go to Starbuck and his family. It's not enough of a payback for what he's given Miami, but it's something.

John McCain Comes to Southern Ohio to Make Peace with Conservatives, and Promptly Throws Bill Cunningham Under the Campaign Bus
February 26, 2008 01:44 PM
The same Bill Cunningham who has worked tirelessly for Republican candidates and conservatives causes for years--usually using the same kind of rhetoric that he used today. From the Enquirer:
Cunningham came out on stage to whip up the crowd as he often does at Republican campaign events in Cincinnati. He repeatedly referred to Obama using his middle name -- Hussein -- and said that Obama was a product of the "Chicago-Daley mob."
Nothing untrue, and nothing unusual there. Willie had similarly direct comments for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004.
So what does the McCain camp do? His aides get all bent out of shape, and have McCain (who didn't even hear the remarks) trot out after his speech to "repudiate" Willie:
Only minutes after his campaign rally ended, McCain apologized for remarks by WLW talk show host Bill Cunningham that McCain said he thought were offensive to Obama.
"I take responsibility and I repudiate what he said," McCain told reporters after the rally.
Not the way to make Republican friends in Southern Ohio. Oh well. Who needs Republican friends in Southern Ohio?
McCain went on to explain the approach his campaign will take:
"I will not tolerate anything in this campaign that denigrates either Sen. Obama or Sen. Clinton,'' McCain said.
And what does that remind me of? Another 700WLW personality, Marty Brennaman, who got in hot water last year for comparing one of the Reds' West Coast roadtrips to the Bataan Death March. Because that's what this campaign with John McCain is going to be.
One long Bataan Death March.
UPDATE: Clerk of Courts Greg Hartman is now on Willie's show blaming "the media," and saying this goes to show how Republicans won't get a fair shake this fall. But the media weren't the ones who apologized for, and repudiated, one of the region's most prominent conservative voices.
Was McCain introduced as John "Sidney" McCain?
I can just see Willie jumping up and down shouting "Hooray for Sidney".
Do you personally have a problem with Obama's middle name?
Do you think a middle name makes the man?
This is ridiculus. There are plenty of issues more important about Obamamania that scare me. His middle name does not.
And as usual, the only thing that impresses me about Cunningham is his ability to still spout crap with foot firmly inserted in mouth.
Just face it. John McCain hates the base of his own party.
If the "base" of my party was Willie Cunningham, I would either leave it or find a way to eject the mouth of Cinci.
Perhaps we can get the guys and gals at NPR to be McCain's warm up act next time. Seems more his speed.
More my speed too, and I've voted 'pub all my life. And I will this time, also. Despite asses like Willie.
No wonder we don't do well outside "our" demographic.
How did Willie the Mouth get on that stage, anyway? We got no black 'pubs anybody respects anymore? Somebody stupid enough to invite him? Yeah, that's the guy I want talkin' to America for me.
As for NPR, I'd take Juan Williams over Willie any day. Any day.
Barack Obama didn't choose his middle name. I agree with McCain on this one. If Senator BO's middle name was Omar, you could call him "BOO!" but so what?
My middle name is Julian, who I only recently discovered, was the Roman emperor who tried to revoke Christianity and restore paganism. Does anyone think this is relevant to my political views?
Lots of things wrong with McCain, but refusing to go along with some infantile rabble-rousing is not one of them. To name two: 1) McCain-Feingold campaign reform act, 2) his belief he has friends in the liberal media.
I liked Marge Schott personally but disagreed with her on a number of important issues. Willie represents the Marge Schott of listeners of Cincinnati radio. America as a whole has moved on. Even Ronald Reagan had moved on 30 years ago.
Off topic but...
Is this an example of Jumping The Shark?
"The truth is that political reconciliation in Iraq is going better there than it is here at home because of better security."
-Lindsey Graham
I heard Willie the Mouth of Cinci on 700 this morning.
The exact quote was "well, they call Bush, Cheney, etc... everything but a WHITE MAN...".
There was a little skip and a I swear I almost heard Jim Scott choke a little.
What an idiot. If the 'pubs lose, a part of it may be that the general public thinks that all conservatives are like that puke.
The McCain camp invited him to be a rabblerouser, and to stir up the crowd. Just as he does for other politicians all the time. This was not supposed to be some high minded policy speech.
And as for whether Barack's middle name is relevant, you're right that it's not a major issue. But John Forbes Kerry and George Herbert Walker Bush were routinely mocked for their elite, waspy sounding names--the suggestion being that it said something about where they come from. That's exactly what is going on with the Barack Hussein Obama situation. Not a big issue, but in the context of a tough presidential campaign, quite normal.
Jackscrow--if the Republicans lose this fall, it will be because John McCain hates the base of the party, and they hate him.
What makes you think McCain came here to make peace with conservatives?
Wrong. The numbers say so.
Republicans will vote for McCain across the board.
Hardcore 'pubs will be desperate to put aside all differences, and so will John "Sidney" McCain.
The people that McCain HAS to attract to win are the same people who would be put off by wingnuts like Willie The Mouth.
I'm a Ron Paul ultra-conservative who will fall to McCain out of desperation and I am put off by figures like Willie.
(Heck, I can't even stand Rush, simply because he says so many things that are easily proved false.)
Someone used the exactly right word above to describe what Willie Cunningham did -- "infantile."
You radio show-style conservatives need to get it through your head that most Americans are tired of the politics of personal destruction, and actually want to focus on issues for a change.
That's why the conservatives' pet candidates -- Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee -- gained no traction.
Where did Huckabee traffic in "the politics of personal destruction"?
For crying out loud, the man's middle name is Hussein. It is also not an issue. All McCain needed to do was to say he preferred to stick to the issues, and that he doesn't think a name is an issue. It was unnecessary for McCain to turn this into an issue and unwise to do so in a way that further alienates the conservative Republican base in Ohio.
Admittedly, hardcore conservative republicans will probably wind up voting for McCain in November- if he manages to inform conservatives about Obama's positions. However, we conservatives will not find the time or energy to ring doorbells, put up yard signs or man phone banks for someone who has been on the wrong side of so many issues- like McCain-Feingold and Immigration.
Just found your blog--a fellow Cincinnatian I see.
We all know Willie is a loud mouth, but amongst his hyperbole every once in awhile, he hits the target squarely.
To me, it is funny that McCain can be disappointed with the NYT's hit piece on him, but he "repudiates" a fellow conservative.
Excellent point, theMachiavellian. Excellent point. He doesn't know who is friends are, does he? Perhaps it is some kind of latent Stockholm Syndrome?

Singapore quells safety fears over port crowding
By Marcus Hand in Singapore - Monday 6 April 2009
THE Singapore authorities have hit out at suggestions that its anchorages are congested with idle vessels, resulting in concerns over navigational safety.
Over recent months, the utilisation rate of our anchorages has been fairly stable. In other words, our anchorages have not become more crowded as a result of the economic downturn. Concerns over increasing congestion are hence unfounded, Maritime & Port Authority port master Lee Cheng Wee said in reply to queries from Lloyds List.
Last week the American P&I Club warned in a circular of an increased risk of collisions outside port limits anchorages close to Singapore due to the large number of vessels at anchor.
It would appear that the most recent spate of collisions has occurred at the eastern OPL anchorage, where a number of ships maneuvering within the area have collided with vessels already at anchor, the club said.
Vessel owners choose to anchor OPL to avoid paying port dues and pilotage fees as it falls outside of the jurisdiction of the MPA.
Last month the West of England P&I Club advised owners to take bunkers inside port limits due to the high level of congestion due to idle vessels at the both the eastern and western OPL anchorages increasing the risk of collisions.
According to the MPA, around 3,800 vessels use Singapores anchorages every month with 400-500 at anchor on any given day.
While this number may is stable, industry sources estimated that this two to three times the number of vessels at anchor on average during the recent boom years.
Visual checks by Lloyds List confirmed the Eastern anchorages to look very crowded with a growing number of offshore support vessels adding to the larger ships at anchor.
Somewhat surprisingly the MPA claimed that there were no vessels laid-up in Singapore port waters.
While hundreds of ships are reported to be laid up across the globe, there are no vessels laid up in the Singapore port. Singapore does not encourage the laying up of vessels in our port waters, due to the limited sea space available, Capt Lee said.
However, he did note an increase in the number of vessels at anchor for over 10 days to around 70 each month of which around 30 were awaiting orders.
Despite an increase in vessel arrivals and the small number of vessels staying more than 10 days every month, the industry can rest assure that Singapore has sufficient anchorage capacity to meet the needs of the shipping industry, and that concerns over congestion and navigational safety are not warranted, Capt Lee said.
Singapore offers port dues reductions for vessels staying less than 10 days.

6MT - Coasting in neutral hurts mpg?
Yesterday I started thinking about this while stuck in rush hour. Many times while driving I will hold down the clutch to let the car coast when engine power is not needed. However I remember reading something that these engines can cut fuel when coasting. Which led me to believe coasting in neutral is wrong:
1) The car has to use gas to idle the engine while in neutral
2) The car can cut fuel when coasting and in gear as the wheels are spinning the engine
My unprecise anecdotal tests barely confirmed this to be true
What are your thoughts? :dunno:
You are correct but the difference should be inconsequential. You won't be able to notice it when calculating mileage.
As for fuel economy coasting vs. neutral, technically you'd save fuel coasting vs in neutral, but I doubt you'd be able to discern any real difference in real world usage. That said, clutch and throw-out bearing wear may or may not make a difference as well.
Regardless of whether there is any savings in fuel consumption or not, coasting in neutral in California is illegal, at least specifically on a downhill grade: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21710.htm. It is also illegal in many other states.
The DMV considers coasting as "unsafe". Here's an excerpt from a section on the driving test: "As you approach the turn: ...Slow down smoothly, change gears as needed to keep power, but do not coast unsafely. Unsafe coasting occurs when your vehicle is out of gear for more than the length of your vehicle.": http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/cdl_htm/sec13.htm.
Coasting in neutral is considered unsafe because in an emergency situation you will not be able to respond as quickly if that response could include accelerating away from the emergency situation. Probably not worth the negligible gas savings, if any.
In the 328 there is and instant mpg gauge
When you take the foot off the gas or coasting down a hill it goes to 50 mpg +.
For sure if you are going down a hill an just coasting in neutral you are wearing out
your brakes.
Would you coast a little further in neutral ? maybe
If it was a big gas savings thing wouldn't it be incorporated in all cars especially now?
Coasting does not save fuel. When coasting your are burning fuel as the engine idles. If you slow down in gear (foot off the gas) the engine burns no fuel as the ECU cuts off the supply on overrun.
Also, brakes are not "powered off the engine". Brakes are a mechanical device with hydraulic assist. The hydraulic pump used in the brake system is powered by the engine. If your engine dies you can still stop, although it will be a lot harder to press the brake pedal.
ETA: the above poster beat me to it, apparently on both counts!
Makes sense. Thought I was doing good, but apparently not.
Even my 335d uses vacuum from an electric pump (as diesels don't have a throttle to create vacuum.)
The 3-series is 182 in long (E90), which means, that at 60 mph, you would need to change gears within 0.17 seconds to ensure you are not "unsafely coasting" as per the description above. :eeps:
Now, I get it, this probably refers to slowing down, but even at 35 mph, you would need to shift gears within 0.3 seconds! Downshift, none-the-less! Good luck, boys and girls and I want to hear some nice rev-matched, below 300 milliseconds downshifts on my way home. :thumbup:
I notice my car's computer displays lower mpg coasting in gear than out.

First of all i have a northstar with an oil leak. Rather than pay 1000 for a new oil pan gasket or spend 3 days trying to do it myself.. I use the lucas stop leak. It surely does not STOP the leak the leak, but it definitely SLOWS the leak.
Well i was squeezing the rest of the lucas out of the bottle, I pulled the bottle out, and the cap was *poof* gone. I used a flashlight to spot it, tried tried to heat up a long rod and and melt it onto the rod. but again *poof* it was gone.
I am slightly mechanically inclined. I have done lots of work on easy engines aka buick 3800 1985 fleetwood ect. and some minor work on the northstar (i dont have an egine houst or shop)
questions for the vets here:
1) how do i remove the cap from the engine / how much would be a fair price to pay someone
2) how hard is it to fix the oil pan gasket
please be kind *anticipates a severe thrashings from the seniors like its freshman friday*

"First." "Only." "Groundbreaking."
In a country where, according to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Native Americans account for just 0.53 percent of journalists nationwide, Native American journalist Jodi Rave's career has been defined by these adjectives. In the past eight years, she has worked as the only Native American daily newspaper reporter at the Idaho Statesman and the Salt Lake Tribune, and, since 1998, as the first and only national correspondent covering Native American issues for Lee Enterprises' Lincoln Journal Star—a position that the Journal Star created specifically for her. Four weeks ago, Rave came to Missoula after a year as a Nieman fellow at Harvard University to continue her work (still as the only daily news reporter in the country on the national Native beat, says Rave) at the Missoulian.
While her presence at the Missoulian is a change for the newspaper—Rave is the first full-time Native American reporter to work at the paper—her years as a pioneer in Native American journalism could be summed up like this:
Some things change with time, some don't.
Her job, for one, hasn't changed much with her move to Montana. Rave came to Missoula in part for her husband's job as a civil engineer, but also because the Missoulian is a Lee Enterprises newspaper to which she could transfer upon her return from Harvard. "I write for [Lee's] news chain," she says, "so I've always been a part of their network. What's different is that I'm just working out of the [Missoulian] office. I'm still maintaining a relationship with my editors in Lincoln."
The Journal Star's city editor, Peter Salter, still edits her work, as does Missoulian Editor Mike McInally; Rave's articles will continue to be shared among multiple Lee newspapers.
The atmosphere in newsrooms hasn't changed much, either, over the years, says Rave. "It's a white newsroom," she says of the Missoulian, smiling, "but most newspapers I've either worked at or interned at were all-white newsrooms." In Montana, she says, considering that Native people are the largest minority, "it shouldn't be a white newsroom. There definitely should be more Native representation, I believe."
(The Independent, for the record, presently employs no Native editorial staff.)
Though soft-spoken, Rave has built a career out of speaking her mind. When she read a Boston Globe study of newsroom parity a few years ago, "I looked up Montana," she says, "and saw that there were zero Indians at that time at any of the Montana newspapers." She sent an e-mail to Lee Enterprises CEO Mary Junck. "I think they were surprised, to be honest," recalls Rave, "that that was the state of their newspapers, and they said they would work to change that."
Lee Enterprises is getting more involved in recruiting Native journalists, says Rave. The Missoulian currently has three Native American student interns, all from Montana. At Lee's Helena Independent Record, Northern Cheyenne Shawn White Wolf now works as a reporter after attending a 12-week training program at the Vanderbilt University-based Diversity Institute, founded in 2002 by the Freedom Forum and geared in part toward training minority journalists who might then return to report on the communities from which they came.
"There is that belief, and it's well-founded," says Rave, "that you're going to get the best reporting from the people who are knowledgeable about the place in which they live, and know the questions to ask."
For Rave, who grew up as a citizen of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota, that place remains Indian Country. Initially, her focus was on human interest stories, "letting people know what normal Indian life is like, giving a voice, that sort of thing," she says.
Raves anticipates that now, after five years covering a national Native American beat, the focus of her stories is something that will change. "I'm still very much interested in covering Indian Country," she says, "but at this point there are issues I've overlooked that are quite important, and I'm ready to take those on."
Among those issues are tribal water rights (which Rave reported on in the July 21 Missoulian), education, housing, economic development, Native participation in the political system, and the Indian health care system. "The health care provided for federal prisoners is about $5,500 per patient," she says, "whereas if you're an Indian going to Indian Health Services, they're only paying about $1,100 per patient.
"There really is a shortage of information about Indian people," she adds, "so tackling some of these tougher issues is just something that I feel like I need to do."
She thinks Montana will be a good place to do it. "In Nebraska," she says, "there were probably about 12,000 Native people, and I had enough stories just from that state to fuel my beat for five years. I was able to get a national sense of things by the tribes there, and I really expect that situation to be the same here in Montana, except the reporting ground is going to be 20 times more fertile than Nebraska because you have probably five times as many Indians here, and you have some very socially and politically active tribes here."
Asked if she feels pressured being one of a still-small number of Native American reporters covering so much ground, Rave smiles again:
"So many times I'm told by people—like when I came here—that, well, Jodi, we're so glad you're going to be covering Montana issues, because you get it, and we don't have to explain it…and you know, initially it was a huge pressure. I felt like I had all this responsibility to get it right, but now I'm more confident and willing to push the envelope further."

Founded: 1997
Casa de Piedra is a modern winery built in the style of an intimate stone farmhouse. Covered in brightly colored bougainvillea and flanked by fields of glorious vines, the exterior of the main building itself is charming and inviting. First time visitors exiting the Tecate-Ensenada highway in Valle San Antonio de las Minas may be in for a surprise when they enter its modest but lovely premises and discover the highest quality modern wine production: computerized processing, a semi-gravitational system and stainless steel tanks. Dedicated wine enthusiasts, however, will certainly not be surprised by this technological excellence and innovation as the wines of Casa de Piedra have become well known within elite circles as the very best that Mexico has to offer.
D'Acosta imagined and built Casa de Piedra as a winery on "a human scale". A family-run operation that bottles approximately 3000 cases if wine per year; its yield is small enough that he is actually involved in every aspect of wine production ~ from growing and harvesting the grapes to creating the wine, then later throughout the aging and mixing process. "The grapes picked by hand are later bottled by hand,"* says D'Acosta. Rather than simply managing a wine operation, he has personal contact with each barrel, ensuring that all bottles sold are of the highest possible quality.
Since its first harvest in 1997 Casa de Piedra has brought the world a select number of highly sought-after wines which have achieved cult-like celebrity. A single bottle may retail within high-end Mexico City restaurants for as much as $200. The wines are well known nationally and internationally for being "exclusive, expensive, and hard to find".
Casa de Piedra has two main offerings the velvety red Vino de Piedra and its lively sister Piedra del Sol. Both have been described by connoisseurs and news media as "groundbreaking", "impressive" and "sensational".
Vino de Piedra is a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon aged in oak barrels. With an aroma of berries, cocoa and forest seedlings, it is known for its lightly earthy tones and (depending on the year) a subtle hang of wood. The granite limestone soil upon which the red grapes were grown ensures that acidity is never a problem. With its voluptuous taste and spicy flavors, this complex wine ages very well.
Pale golden Piedra del Sol celebrates simplicity. Created from 100% chardonnay grapes grown close together in the vineyards, this unique wine reveals the pure character of its grape without adulteration or layering. Its fresh flavor reflects green apples, citrus and a delicate end of honey. D'Acosta recommends it as an ideal companion for seafood.
Visitors to Casa de Piedra are warmly welcomed by appointment to tour, taste and enjoy. This small boutique winery may be unassuming in appearance but its wines have made a strong and lasting impression upon enthusiasts from all around the world.

I've been enjoying the between hunting season fishing, the carp have been hitting at my spot. We've nailed dozens in the 3-5lb range and can't even count the ones 7-10. Now we get pretty excited with the 10-15+ lb carps, as we fish with medium weight 6ft rods + 10 pound test line.
I've been fishing native trout for 20+ years; love me bass, bream, catfish - etc... But good lord there ain't no joy like hooking into a big *** carp! These two were some of the better 15-20lb range we've caught lately.
These really ain't that big and they get much larger, but ill be dammed if they aren't a hoot to catch! The photos are poor, although consider that im 6'1 / 200 and how big they look in comparison. Loads of fun, population control on carp is fine by me any day

Five Salt Lake pitchers combined for a two-hit shutout of Sacramento as the offense scratched out a pair of runs in the eighth for the won.
With the Bees' roster undermanned because of promotions, Nate Bland moved back into the rotation and threw four innings in which he allowed one hit and two walks. It was his longest appearance of the year, lowering his ERA in three starts to 3.65.
All the offense the club needed came in the eighth inning. Corey Myers, making his first appearance at catcher for the Bees, got a leadoff single and then RiverCats pitchers walked two to load the bases. Howie Kendrick made them pay with a double - his only hit on the night – that extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
Travs pounded 9-4 by Tulsa (Rockies)
Continuing their season-long struggles against the Drillers, Arkansas squandered an early lead and lost for the 13th time in 18 games against Tulsa.
Eric Rodland was the only player in the Trav's lineup with more than one hit. The righty went 2-for-3 with a walk despite coming in with just a .204 average against Tulsa pitching this year. Rodland has struggled since being named to the Texas League all star game, going just 12-for-54 over the last three weeks.
James Holcomb's season-long struggles continued as his record moved to 0-7. For the fourth straight outing, the righty failed to make it through four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks in just 3.1 innings of work. Since returning from the disabled list, the 2002 draftee has posted a 13.03 ERA in only 9.2 innings over three appearances.
Quakes get second straight big win over Inland Empire (Mariners)
For the second consecutive game, the Rancho Cucamonga offense fired on all cylinders on the way to a 12-4 runs. It was the first time since mid-April that the club scored in double figures in back-to-back games.
Sean Rodriguez got his batting average back above .300 with a 3-for-5 night in which he scored a pair of runs and stole two bases. One of his thefts was the front end of a double steal which netted his first steal of home plate. He is now 10-for-21 with eight runs scored since the all-star break.
Micah Posey earned just his second victory in his last nine starts, all games in which he earned a decision. In six innings, the lefty gave up four runs, but only two were earned, to give Posey his sixth quality start of the season. Posey now has issued 43 walks against just 39 strikeouts in 82.1 innings of work.
Cedar Rapids downs Burlington 7-1 (Royals)
Wearing replicas of the uniforms the 1906 Cedar Rapids Bunnies, the Kernels rode another stellar performance by Stephen Marek to victory.
Marek, who has yet to give up more than three runs in a start this year, yielded just one run on four hits over eight innings. The power righty only had two strikeouts, but did not allow a walk either.
Josh Davies opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first and plated the last pair of runs with a single in the seventh on his way to a 3-for-4 day with five RBIs. The Australian righty has driven in nine in eight games since joining the Bees last month. At 20 years old, he is getting his first taste of full-season baseball after two summers playing in Arizona.
Idaho Falls gets revenge in 10-4 victory over Owlz (Royals)
A night after Orem moved into sole possession of first place with a victory over the Chukars, Idaho Falls turned the tables on the Owlz.
Jeremy Haynes got the start, but couldn't get out of the first inning because of serious control struggles. Sandwiched around a pair of strike outs, Haynes walked five and yielded a single. He was charged with four runs, but only two were earned thanks to first baseman Brooks Shankle's fielding error.
Doug Reinhardt, who had been hitless through his first 13 at-bats of the season, was 2-for-2 after entering the game in the seventh inning. The Laguna Beach resident, who missed all of last year, hit .205 in Arizona in 2004.
AZL Angels beat Brewers 12-11
The rookie-level Angels held on for a victory despite allowing eight runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Matt Sweeney hit his third homer in 30 at-bats since signing his first professional contract. The righty leads the club with 9 RBI and is one of just two players – with Alex Fonseca – with more walks than strikeouts through the first two weeks of the season. His transition in the field hasn't been quite so smooth however. With one booted ball and two errant throws on Monday, Sweeney already has five errors.
Outfielder Norberto Ortiz collected three hits, drove in three and collected his second stolen base of the year. The 21-year-old who led the Dominican League with 12 homers and 48 RBIs last season has hit in each of the five games he has started for the Tempe-based Angels. He owns a .364 average early in his stateside debut.
Reliever Ed Sempey threw a scoreless eighth inning, but allowed the first six batters he faced in the ninth to reach base before he was pulled with five runs in and a runner on third. Ultimately, all six runs were charged to him. The righty, who signed a contract as a free agent out of the University of New Haven last month, has given up seven hits, three walks and a hit batter in two innings of work.

U.S. women claim basketball gold in rout of France
LONDON — The names change, not the results. Just call the U.S. women's basketball team Olympic champion.
The Americans won their fifth straight gold medal Saturday, routing France, 86-50, and putting more distance between themselves and the rest of the world heading to Rio for the 2016 Games.
Candace Parker scored 21 points, including eight straight during the game-changing run in the second quarter, as the U.S. won its 41st straight Olympic game since taking bronze medal in 1992.
In that stretch, the Americans have won by nearly 30 points per game. Only one team has stayed within single digits of them, and they've lost just once in major international competitions, to Russia in the semifinals of the 2006 world championship.
Teresa Edwards, Dawn Staley, Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie got the amazing run started. Now Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Tamika Catchings have continued it.
With young stars Parker, Maya Moore and Tina Charles a big part of the success in London, it doesn't look like the run will end anytime soon.
Tamika Catchings said the Americans "just wanted to keep that legacy going." Edwards, a five-time Olympian, said no worry there.
"The legacy is real," said Edwards, who had a front-row seat Saturday. "What these kids have been doing is amazing. Without much time to practice. In the middle of the WNBA season. And they look good. It's like the whole world knows who we are. I'm really proud of them."
McKeesport's Swin Cash chipped in three points, one assist and a rebound in the blowout as she earned her second Olympic gold medal.
The U.S. faced its only challenge of the London Games when Australia took a four-point halftime lead. It was the first time in 12 years that the Americans had been trailing at the half.
"It's not easy to just be put together and be expected to win a gold medal," Taurasi said. "It's a special feeling."
France, which came into the game unbeaten, stayed with the U.S. for the first 12 minutes before Parker took over. She scored eight straight points during a 13-2 run that gave the U.S. a 37-23 advantage. Twice the 6-foot-4 Parker grabbed the rebound on the defensive end and dribbled up through the defense scoring on the other.
"We always felt like as long as we played our best ... we'd be all right," Bird said.
With the victory, Moore joined an exclusive club. She's the seventh player to win titles in college, the WNBA, the FIBA world championship and the Olympics.
Teammates Bird, Taurasi and Cash are already members of that club.

The Tribune reports that the Portland City Council has voted unanimously to give police the power to impound and tow any vehicle they believe was used in the 'commission of prostitution or drug crimes' (Police get towing rights, May 3). This is in addition to the previously passed authority to impound and tow any vehicle belonging to a participant in (or spectator to) road racing. The cars will be returned upon proof of a valid driving license, insurance and the payment of towing, storage and 'administrative' fees. (That, I presume, is the city's cut.)
I'm sure proponents would argue that, since no loss of liberty is involved, the Constitution does not apply. Still, even in the case of traffic tickets, one has a 'day in court,' should he or she want it, before paying the fine. Here, the city is allowing the police to punish literally anyone they choose, absolutely at their whim. No charge is involved, no evidence, no proof is needed either, simply the officers' 'belief.' Belief?
This is real punishment, too. I imagine that towing, storage and administrative fees can amount to hundreds of dollars. This doesn't even speak to the public humiliation and embarrassment of having your car impounded on the 'belief' that it's been used for, say, prostitution.
What crime, by the way, does a spectator to street racing commit? Does this mean that 'looking at' a street race is an offense? Clearly not.
Didn't Oregonians just pass an initiative outlawing, in spirit, just this governmental behavior? I understand that in 2000, the voters, by approving Measure 3, the Oregon Property Protection Act, prohibited the confiscation of property without prior conviction Ñ though the city is merely 'impounding.'
Still, the spirit of the City Council's action is exactly what the voters reacted against Ñ punishment without conviction Ñ and the council glibly does just that, once again.

Library enriches lives
of family and students
I was pleased to see the great write-up about the library (Lend a hand to the library, Insight, April 30). But there is so much the article didn't say.
My family and I are longtime library users. We live near the Albina branch, and we use it like crazy. I can shop at Nature's and go to the library to get our weekend movies, books and CDs Ñ all in minutes and all for free for anyone who has a library card.
I can take my child over for story time several times a week Ñ it is fun for him, great for me É and free. I teach junior-high social studies, and the library's books are a great asset for the classes I teach. I can reserve them online or by phone and have them delivered to my house by mail or pick them up at my library. My students can log on to the library's homework help site to get after-school help on the assignments I have given them. I also value the knowledgeable, professional and helpful staff at each branch.
So, when it all boils down, what do I pay for this service? About $10 per month, and it is the best deal in town.

Callison has sense of justice
and knack for details
I'm writing to support the candidacy of Liz Callison for Position No. 2 on the Portland City Council.
Callison has the ability to see the public good in the midst of both technical and political debate. She understands that the future of our country and of our city depends upon our actions today. She has a finely developed sense of justice, human and political rights, and human needs. Callison has blended these in a dedicated, concerned and honest approach to life and public service.
Callison also understands budget and project management. She has worked with citizen groups representing diverse points of view and helped them to achieve their goals. She also understands the critical need to protect both our children and our environment, which seem to go naturally hand in hand. She is hardworking, intelligent, persevering and professional.

Troubling experience deflates
enthusiasm for MAX
For safety reasons, I may never ride the MAX train in Fareless Square again.
During rush hour on April 15, I boarded a train downtown to go to Lloyd Center. I took the only available seat in the front car. As the train neared the Pearl District, a very dirty, gaunt man in his 20s worked his way to my seat from somewhere near the back of the train. I watched him ask every rider in my car for money. That was innocent enough, I thought, but he was deadly.
As he approached, I noticed open, bloody, infected, quarter-sized sores on his face and hands. The one on his hand looked like an impetigo infection. He was picking at them with his long, dirty fingernails while asking each rider for money, and telling each person he approached: 'I have AIDS. Would you like to make a donation?'
The man, while waiting for a response, would pick at one of the wet wounds. He seemed unsteady on his feet and held on to the vertical and horizontal bars and straps with the hand he used to pick at the festering sores.
We both disembarked at the Rose Quarter Ñ I to look for a security guard or police officer to register a complaint about a dangerous rider whose weapon could cause more death than a shotgun: his sores and the hand he picked at them with.
No public security officer was in the immediate area, so I knocked on the driver's window.
While I recounted my story to the driver, she said, 'You are not the first person to complain, and he is not the only problem panhandler, but our hands are tied' by the Americans With Disabilities Act.
I looked in the direction of the infected man. He was aware of our conversation, and he was grinning at us while looking back over his shoulder. The thing that disturbed me most was the knowing leer on his face.
As the train, filled with children and adults, moved on, I shuddered and walked from the Rose Quarter to my car thinking death had smiled at me.
As I understand it, when a person with AIDS spits at a police officer, that can be construed as an attack with a deadly weapon. Is this any different? Do riders on public transit have any rights to be protected?

This post is actually a placeholder, to accumulate RSS feeds that the Moose should have easy-access to. And I don't mean boring things like CNN news, or a RSS Tweets from a celebrity. I mean, things that are fun, funny, interesting and eclectic.
The Moose should have a Control Panel feature, that connects to this website, to automatically fetch and display a list of these suggested Feeds. This will allow the website to get rid of ones that stop working, and add new ones, as time goes by. It it should provide a way to automatically fetch the xml file that the Moose uses, so that the feed starts working (being spoken), without needing the User to fill-in a bunch of configuration textedit fields.

Suddenly cool with the crate
Not sure what exactly happened, and it is a good thing but I don't know if anyone else ever experienced anything like this before lol.
Outside of the first night when Doyle got home (and had a very overwhelming day) he has yet to let me sleep through a night. He usually wakes me up about once if not more than that a night. I am not sure if its because he legitimately has to go potty or if he is thirsty. He had a little bout of diarrhea that turned out to be roundworms and giardia. But he got over that fairly quickly lol.
Even if he has no issues going into crates, and I feed him in one out in the living room, he tends to whine, paw and carry on in the one out in our living room (which is basically a kennel). Unless he is really worn out, but even then he usually protests for awhile before he settles down.
Today we went for a walk/play at a park downtown that allows dogs to be off leash to keep down the level of geese in the area between November and March. We've done this a few times now. It's a short walk, lots of playing off leash, sometimes a little cooling off at the river (there's a river that runs through town) and then the walk back to the car.
He is fine in the crate in the car. It doesn't bother him to go in there, though I am sure he'd rather ride loose (don't trust him just yet loose). In the bedroom he will fuss a little in the crate, but not super bad.
He gets time out in the room with my other dogs and me every night. If I am home during the day we spend a few hours here and there just relaxing and playing with things. Right now my golden and Doyle are playing. They've been doing this wrestling/biteyface/toy tug game for the last few days lol. Myles is great with puppies, and it seems like he really has accepted that Doyle is our puppy now. Leia, my older shepherd, ignores the boys and chews her squeaky cuz or yells at the cats to keep them from the bedroom (I have a babygate up to keep my dogs in, other dogs out, etc).
Today after everything, I let them pee in the front yard before coming in (every time he has activity then crate, he always has to pee) and we all settled into the bedroom. They played a little biteyface on the bed right behind me (I somehow always end up close by in these games) and then stretched out for a nap. I had the chance to just stretch out with them also, and Doyle slept pressed completely up against the side of me, though he slowly kept edging toward falling off of the bed lol.
We napped for a bit, I put the boys out, made dinner and it was a big shock not to hear anything. When I looked into the living room he was just laying down in the crate, calmly looking up at me. It was like this sudden breakthrough lol. He's about 6 months old now. It was just kind of like someone flicked a switch lol!
Just not sure if anyone else has experienced anything like that before.

We had lived on Amelia Island while our children were young and always loved spending family vacations here. We wanted to share this with others who might like to do the same. We hope you come to Amelia and stay at our vacation home and find it as beautiful and comfortable as we do.
We enjoy the oceanfront views from villa's porch. We love the smell of the sea air and walking on the beach and swimming in ocean. We also love that we are a few steps from the Outrigger Villa's pool and less than a mile from the Ritz Carlton. Amelia Island has pristine beaches and a quite calm atmosphere. We always look forward to exploring the lovely historic downtown where we can enjoy the wonderful restaurants and shopping.
This was my 5th time renting Jack's Amelia Villa and it seems to get better every time!!
We loved our first trip to Amelia Island. The property was well-maintained. It had lovely views of the ocean via a balcony and porch. Great kitchen supplies, too, if you enjoy cooking. We had a memorable family vacation!
This property was a pleasure to stay. Well appointed, stocked, comfortable beds and the views are killer! Would happily stay again.
We booked this location for April 2-9, 2017. The location was perfect, the condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Our only bad experience was that the pool was completely out of commission for resurfaces the Whole time! This was one of the most important factors for us and we were disappointed not to have a pool. The owners let us know we could use the pools at nearby associations but every time we tried to use them they were locked and we could not get access. The beach was easily accessible but still too cold for swimming. We would definitely stay here again if guaranteed the pool was up and running.
We just spent a week at this property to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. We were blown away by how fantastic the place was! The decor was even nicer than in the photos and the view was amazing! When they said they provide everything they weren't kidding-even down to bodywash and shampoo! My husband and I are both chefs and the quality of pots/pans and knives was great to work with-better than in any other property we've ever stayed at. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious and the beds are super comfy! Just a few steps out the door and you're on your way down to the beach which was beautiful, clean and uncrowded (we were there the 2nd week of August). The entire booking process was easy and the owners replied immediately to any emails I sent prior to our stay. I cannot praise the property and the owners enough for an absolutely perfect vacation!
The home was spotless and inviting. Instructions were included for everything from travel to restaurant recommendations. The neighborhood was secluded and peaceful, and any residents we met were very friendly.
The location is situated so conveniently to access both the community pool as well as the beach. We had zero complaints.
We would absolutely return and/or recommend the home to friends and family.

Revision of Regulation M
Effective October 31, 1996 -- Compliance Optional Until October 1, 1997
To All Depository Institutions, and Others Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The following is from a statement issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
The Federal Reserve Board has issued its final regulation to simplify and clarify required disclosures for car leasing and other types of consumer lease transactions.
This new version of Regulation M stems from the increased use of automobile leasing over the last several years and the Board's review of the regulation in accordance with its policy of periodically examining its regulations to carry out the purpose of the underlying law more effectively.
The new regulation, which carries out provisions of the Consumer Leasing Act, is effective october 1, 1997, as set by the statute, but voluntary compliance is acceptable at any time prior to that date.
In general, the revisions to Regulation M:
- Adopt a revised disclosure format, including the segregation of certain disclosures. Adopt a total of payments disclosure to facilitate comparisons.
- Revise the disclosure of costs paid at lease signing to make it easier for a consumer to understand the amounts to be paid and how they are allocated.
- Require a mathematical progression that shows how the monthly lease payment is calculated, and the relationship of terms such as the "capitalized cost" and the "residual value" of the leased property.
- Require narrative warnings about possible charges for terminating a lease early and for excess wear and tear.
- Require changes in advertising rules to implement statutory amendments, simplify disclosure requirements, and deter misleading advertising.
- Require a disclosure to accompany any percentage rate indicating the limitations of rate information.
The Board will publish an updated proposal to the commentary in mid-November 1996. The proposal will include material that was published for comment in September 1995 (60 FR 48769), and will incorporate guidance contained in the section-by-section discussion that accompanies the final rule.
The revision of Regulation M, as published in the Federal Register of October 7 is available. Questions on this matter may be directed to Janice A. Oser, Supervising Examiner, Compliance Examinations Department.
