Fox Attacks Obama's Brazil Trip As A "Vacation" Then Refuses To Air His Speech
Blog ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Today, President Obama spoke in Brazil, highlighting that country's rising economic power, growing middle class, and transition from military dictatorship to thriving democracy. The speech capped off a visit meant to promote the United States' economic relationship with Brazil and the entire South American region, with the stated purpose of encouraging job growth. The speech drove home the very points Obama made in his March 18 USA Today op-ed in which he said: "That's one of the reasons I will travel to Latin America this week -- to strengthen our economic relationship with neighbors who are playing a growing role in our economic future."
Ignoring the President's stated goals, Fox News spent the week portraying the trip as a vacation, calling it his "spring break" while claiming he was "leaving behind" the "budget crisis," as well as ignoring the dual crises occurring in Libya and Japan. So how did Fox reconcile their week of smearing the President over his trip to Latin America with his speech promoting economic growth? By simply not airing the speech at all.
Instead, Fox News Channel decided to go ahead with their replay of Fox News Sunday:
By contrast, during their scheduled replay of Meet The Press, MSNBC decided instead to air the president's speech:
MSNBC then re-aired Meet The Press upon the conclusion of Obama's remarks.
Even still, Fox wasn't completely dedicated to replaying Wallace's show. At 2:30, when they were scheduled to show Wallace's interview with Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu, Fox cut away from Fox News Sunday to cover breaking events in Libya:
This is, of course, not the first time Fox has refused to air the president while other networks do, they even cut away from Obama's health care speech in March, 2010 to report on former ESPN reporter Erin Andrews' "peephole stalker," and later in March cut away from Obama's health care bill signing to report on an airplane that "had no problem landing." Sadly, at this point, it's hardly shocking to find them ignoring the president while he's destroying their anti-Obama talking points.

The bereaved family of British nurse Jacintha Saldanha will turn to a coronial inquest for answers after prosecutors said they would not bring charges against two Australian radio presenters over a hoax call.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on Friday announced 2Day FM DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian would not be charged for their December 3 prank call, which has been linked to Ms Saldanha's subsequent suicide.
"Having carefully reviewed the evidence currently available, we have concluded that there is no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter," CPS deputy head of special crime Malcolm McHaffie said in a statement.
While working at London's King Edward VII hospital, the 46-year-old mother of two answered a call from Greig and Christian posing as the Queen and Prince Charles.
The pair asked for an update on the condition of Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine, who had been admitted to the hospital with acute morning sickness.
"Subsequently, Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at the hospital who had initially taken the call but who had not herself passed on the information, tragically took her own life," Mr McHaffie said.
After considering the case for more than a month, the CPS said its decision took into account that "it is not possible to extradite individuals from Australia in respect of the potential offences in question; (and) however misguided, the telephone call was intended as a harmless prank".
British MP Keith Vaz, who has represented Ms Saldanha's husband, son and daughter since the death, on Friday again spoke on their behalf.
"The family of Jacintha have been left devastated by her death," Mr Vaz said in a statement to AAP.
"They are struggling to come to terms with the events that led to it, especially the hoax call.
"The family still have many unanswered questions and now await the inquest due to start on March 26."
King Edward VII hospital chief executive John Lofthouse offered a brief comment on the CPS ruling.
"The consequences of that hoax call are well known, and tragic," he said.
"We will continue to support the family of much-loved nurse Jacintha Saldanha during what continues to be a very sad time."
The body of Indian-born Ms Saldanha was returned to her homeland in December for a Catholic funeral service in the southwestern state of Karnataka.
Greig and Christian, who remain off air, offered their tearful remorse over the hoax call during two Australian TV interviews in December.
Their show, during which the prank call was played, has since been scrapped as Australia's media watchdog probes the operations of the network.
A spokesman for Austereo had no comment.
"Southern Cross Austereo has nothing further to add to the statement issued from the Crown Prosecution Service," he said.

Bonn, Germany (SPX) Apr 07, 2016
The space mission RadioAstron employing a 10-meter radio telescope on board of the Russian satellite Spektr-R has revealed the first look at the finest structure of the radio emitting regions in the quasar 3C 273 at wavelengths of 18, 6, and 1.3 cm. These ground breaking observations have been made by an international research team with four of the largest radio telescopes on Earth, including the Effelsberg 100-meter antenna.
They provide an unprecedented sensitivity to radio emission at angular scales as small as 26 microarcseconds. This resolution was achieved by combining signals recorded at all antennas and effectively creating a telescope of almost 8 Earth's diameters in size.
Supermassive black holes, containing millions to billions times the mass of our Sun, reside at the centers of all massive galaxies. These black holes can drive powerful jets that emit prodigiously, often outshining all the stars in their host galaxies.
But there is a limit to how bright these jets can be - when electrons get hotter than about 100 billion degrees, they interact with their own emission to produce X-rays and gamma-rays and quickly cool down.
Astronomers have just reported a startling violation of this long-standing theoretical limit in the quasar 3C 273. "We measure the effective temperature of the quasar core to be hotter than 10 trillion degrees!" comments Yuri Kovalev (Astro Space Center, Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow, Russia), the RadioAstron project scientist.
"This result is very challenging to explain with our current understanding of how relativistic jets of quasars radiate."
To obtain these results, the international team used the Earth-to-space interferometer RadioAstron. The interferometer consists of an orbiting radio telescope working together with the largest ground telescopes: the 100-meter Effelsberg Telescope, the 110-m Green Bank Telescope, the 300-m Arecibo Observatory, and the Very Large Array. Operating together, these observatories provide the highest direct resolution ever achieved in astronomy, thousands of times finer than the Hubble Space Telescope.
"The fact that RadioAstron has measured extreme brightness temperatures already in several objects, including the recently reported observations of BL Lacertae, these measurements indeed point out to new underlying physics behind the energetic sources of radiation in quasars," states Andrei Lobanov, the coordinator of RadioAstron activities at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, Germany.
However, the incredibly high temperatures were not the only surprise the RadioAstron team has found in 3C 273. The team also discovered an effect never seen before in an extragalactic source: the image of 3C 273 has substructure caused by the effects of peering through the dilute interstellar material of the Milky Way.
"Just as the flame of a candle distorts an image viewed through the hot turbulent air above it, the turbulent plasma of our own galaxy distorts images of distant astrophysical sources, such as quasars," explains Michael Johnson of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), who led the scattering study.
He continues: "These objects are so compact that we had never been able to see this distortion before. The amazing angular resolution of RadioAstron gives us a new tool to understand the extreme physics near the central supermassive black holes of distant galaxies and the diffuse plasma pervading our own galaxy."
"Our research team has been working for a long time on extending the VLBI technique to space antennas reaching baselines much larger than our Earth," concludes Anton Zensus, director at the MPIfR and head of its Radio Astronomy/VLBI research department.
"The new discoveries on 3C 273 are a wonderful example for our successful cooperation within the RadioAstron project."

A Great Doctor!
Dr. Saltman is a wonderful doctor. Takes his time with you and very easy to talk to. He will answer any and all questions and makes you feel very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend him.The downside: Please hire more people to for the phones. It's very frustrating every time I call to be put on hold for minimum 15 minutes before I talk to anyone.

Best in North OC, but it comes with a price....
My experience with Saltman dates back to the 1990's, when I was a young, impressionable teen diagnosed with Graves Disease. Being so young (in my teens), much of my recollection of Saltman is him being knowledgable and concerned, but also waiting forever a day in the waiting room to see him, only to spend 10 minutes talking with him. Also, he had this annoying habit of stopping/starting talking into a recorder during the appt. and often, he would page through my records as if catching himself up on who I was and what I was doing there. How many 18 year olds come to see him? Over the years, I stopped going to Saltman for various reasons. This summer, I had a reoccurrence of thyroid cancer, which prompted me seeing him again. All these years later and it's like time stood still!Pros: congenial; smiles and appears interested in your situation; knows his stuff; gives a detailed treatment plan and ensures you understand what that plan involvesCons: wait time is horrendous (like 1.5-2 hours) and always has been; doesn't refresh his memory on your case prior to your appt, so he spends 1/2 the appt going over prior notes; uses this annoying recorder to update the visit, which feels like waiting for someone to get off the phone. In a nutshell, there's a lot of waiting and maybe 1/4 of the time is one on one time. On a sidenote, the current office staff at the office in Valencia Mesa is unprofessional and lazy. Through the walls, I can hear his assistants talking about what they put on Facebook, where they're going for lunch, and other people's business. After your appt, don't look for warm fuzzies from the appointment staff, b/c you won't even get a smile out of the ladies at the front desk. As much as I get exasperated with all of the other details in seeing Saltman, I know I can't go elsewhere b/c his medical competence is top notch.

Dr. Saltman literally saved my life when a local emergency room misdiagnosed me. He has been my Doctor for 25 years and I know I am in the best hands with a physician who truly cares about my health. And even if you wait a little while just remember he will still take that same caring time with you

My health has improved dramatically...
...since becoming a patient of Dr. Saltman about a year and a half ago. I was diagnosed with diabetes almost 21 years ago, and never made much effort to take proper care of myself. But Dr. Saltman made me realize, at the gut level, how important my health was to my future. Now my blood sugars are fantastic, I feel better, and it's having a positive effect in all areas of my life.

ABC News continues their series called "Made in America " focused on American manufacturing and the economy. They tackled the tough questions: Is buying American more expensive? What if everyone decided to buy more American-made products? They even created an online interactive map to help consumer find made in America products.
That initiative, along with other shop local, buy local movements across the country help citizens think more about their purchases. According to Ruth Storc, who keeps a blog called Design Patriot, "People are interested in all things artisanal, because they want to know where the things they live with are being made and by whom." While mass produced items lack stories, inherited and handmade pieces are a reminder of who we are, what we stand for and reminiscent of times gone past. For consumers, says designer Kimberly Ayres, "the handmade quality is grounding."
I say, better to have one piece you treasure and can't live without than many pieces that clutter and have no meaning.
Fill your life with pieces that you love. Pat

instead of cooperatively working with San Francisco to comply with a reasonable law that provides greater transparency and information without putting any undue burdens on small businesses or discourage cell phone use in any way."
San Francisco's move toward disclosure has reinvigorated the conversation surrounding cell phone's effects on public health. Burlingame Councilman Michael Brownrigg, who wants the Bay Area city to consider a similar ordinance, said an informational meeting from experts on both sides of the issue is being scheduled for late summer.
"Once we have that input from people from both sides of the spectrum, we'll decide what's best for Burlingame," he said. "And obviously whatever the wireless industry does in that time will be part of that discussion."
This legal challenge didn't exactly surprise San Francisco officials, who are accustomed to being challenged in court over such cutting-edge laws and positions on health care, medical marijuana and gun control.
"We think it's a stretch to suggest, as the cell phone lobby is doing, that the public's right to know conflicts with an FCC determination or is somehow unlawfully misleading," Dorsey said. "We're not compelling anyone to reveal trade secrets or confidential information -- we're confident that Congress never intended to prevent localities from being able to make sure consumers are informed about too much radiation in their cell phones."

- No NBN for you under Coalition, yet
- Turnbull's fragmented NBN dooms Australia: Blog
- Broadband to provide economic benefits: Deloitte
The Opposition communications spokesman, Malcolm Turnbull, has endorsed a survey that found households could save thousands of dollars a year with access to high-speed broadband.
Mr Turnbull said the Coalition's broadband policy gave households access to the same high speeds as the report said were necessary to reap benefits, and would complete its network upgrade quicker.
The Deloitte Access Economics survey released by the government on Wednesday found fast broadband could save households up to $3800 a year by 2020.
''The Deloitte report is not an argument in favour of fibre-to-the-premises, it is an argument in favour of having very fast broadband,'' Mr Turnbull told ABC Radio on Wednesday morning. "I agree with that – I completely endorse that. I have a few issues with their methodology. But I agree with the idea that everyone should have very fast broadband but they should have it now.
''The way Labor is going it will take decades to complete the NBN. Let's remember this: in 2007 when Labor got in there were 2 million premises in Australia that couldn't get broadband at all. There still are. After six years they've achieved nothing.''
The report was completed in late June but not released until this week. Under the caretaker conventions ministers can decide when to release information held by departments.
Communications Minister Anthony Albanese used the report to promote the Labor Party's fibre-to-the-home broadband policy in newspaper articles and press conferences on Wednesday morning.
''This serious analysis shows the benefit of the NBN and, what's more, it shows why the Coalition's policy is so bankrupt in saying they will stop the rollout of the NBN if they will be elected this Saturday,'' he said in Melbourne.
There would be a digital divide between and within suburbs under a Coalition government because some areas already have already have fibre-to-the-home, or have construction under way, he added. Mr Albanese has claimed properties with direct fibre connections would be worth more than houses without, and that the Coalition's plan was a second-rate system that relied upon last century's technology.
''There is a history of conservatives arguing that progress won't advance," he said. "The fact is that we do need best technology. Fibre is the best technology.''
Mr Turnbull said on Wednesday: "On the one hand, you have 30 per cent of Australia that has access to 100mbps speeds. On the other hand, there are 2 million households that can't even access a YouTube video because their connectivity is so poor. We make no bones that alleviating this digital divide is the most urgent priority of the Coalition's broadband policy."
Labour's Cath Bowtell, who is standing against Greens MP Adam Bandt for the seat of Melbourne, said existing broadband connections in Melbourne ''were not good enough''.
Inner-city suburbs needed better broadband to take advantage of teleworking and e-health services, despite already having more infrastructure and more broadband choices than outer-suburban and regional households.
''Congestion is a problem here in Melbourne. If we can extend teleworking across the community that is going to be a benefit to people who live and work here in Melbourne.''

About Me Avid Cyclist
I originally bought a Mag Trainer without the remote shifter. This add on makes training much easier and, particularly interval training, where you're increasing and decreasing resistance in your training. It installed easily in minutes and made a world of difference in resistance levels and my ability to effectively train indoors.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought the Mag Trainer without the magnetic shifter initially and found my self either getting frustrated with the resistance or interrupting my workout to get off and adjust it. The remote shifter addressed the issues and I absolutely recommend it. It was a bit confusing to install, but I figured it out easily enough.

This followed his outstanding displays in his country's victory at the Under-21 European Championship.
Cech has continued to impress in the French League with Rennes and moves to London for £9m in August.
Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri has hailed him as "the best goalkeeper of his age that I have seen for a long time, we are very fortunate to have got him."
His signing will seem a snip if he can hold together the Czech Republic defence at Euro 2004 in a tough group with Holland and Germany.
At 6ft 5in, he claims the high ball very confidently and has proved particularly impressive when one-on-one with an attacker.

He has a nation-high 35 TD's already so far this season, and he's starting to get a lot of attention from NFL scouts. Has all the measurables at 6'3", 223 lbs, with really nice mechanics, great footwork, solid arm strength, and great accuracy. Another name to add to the talent pool at QB in this year's draft. -Here's some highlights from their win over Illinois St. Obviously the competition isn't great, but you get a look at his great mechanics, arm strength, pinpoint accuracy, and quick release.

Orlando Bankruptcy Court Makes It Harder To Keep Payments Outside The Plan.
One requirement of a Chapter 13 Plan is that all secured creditors are paid through the Plan. That means the payment is sent to the Trustee who then pays the creditor. One problem with that is that the Trustee charges an administrative fee of up to 10%. On big mortgage payment, that can be expensive.
One way to keep the payment outside the Plan is to set up an automatic draft where the creditor automatically takes your payment from bank account or paycheck. Up to now, it was common to set up the auto-draft right before the bankruptcy to keep it out of the Plan. As of March 1st, 2012, the Middle District of Florida has issued a new directive authorizing payments outside the Plan if the auto-draft has been set up no less than six months prior the bankruptcy case being filed.
The Trustee's office tells me the reason for the change was that many debtors were stopping the auto-draft after the Plan was confirmed by the Court causing the creditors to file motions for relief from stay. Relief from stay would mean that the creditor would be allowed to repossess or foreclose on the property. The motions were taking up a lot of Court time.
The result of this ruling will be that Chapter 13 plans will be more expensive and will pay less money to the unsecured creditors.

All the grass and ground vegetation was white with hoarfrost.
He fancied there would be hoarfrost on the trees in the morning.
A huge campfire was blazing brightly in the midst of the snow, lighting up the branches of trees heavy with hoarfrost.
He prayed for frost, and hoarfrost settled that night on its branches.
The sun had climbed the sky, burning up the hoarfrost and mist, so that the houses opposite had become clearly discernible.
Their horses were sweaty, and the hoarfrost clung to the sweat.
"It is bright as hoarfrost on the slopes and tops there," said Nod, pointing.
Then in a moment all the trees were covered with hoarfrost, so that they looked like white coral.
There was a severe frost, the air was calm, and the sun could not be seen: there was a mist above, and the hoarfrost was settling.
The furniture, all entirely new, exhaled a powerful smell of varnished wood, while its surface glistened like hoarfrost.

Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The calendar says it's spring in Alaska, but with lakes still frozen and snow in the forecast for the Anchorage area this weekend, many residents are saying enough is enough.
"The impacts are primarily psychological," Dave Snider, a National Weather Service meteorologist, told the Anchorage Daily News. "A lot of people have their (snow) tires off. A lot of people probably took advantage of the big Mother's Day plant sale."
Residents can expect up to 3 inches of snow in Anchorage and more at higher elevations overnight Friday, forecasters said.
If the forecast pans out and there is measurable snow accumulation of at least a 10th of an inch at the Anchorage forecast office of the weather service, it will break a local record for the longest snowfall season in modern memory, Snider said.
The incoming storm is expected to affect residents from Kenai Peninsula north to Denali Borough.
The snow is being caused by unseasonably cold weather that is setting records around the state.
"People are just frustrated," Snider said. "It quite literally is a four-letter word."
Already this month, long-held records for cold have toppled in Fairbanks and kept rivers from breaking up in Alaska's Interior, including the Tanana River in Nenana.
Each year, thousands of people buy tickets and bet on when the ice will break free of the bank and begin moving in the annual Nenana Ice Classic. Whoever makes the closest guess, down to the minute and second, wins a cash prize, which is sometimes split among multiple winners. The 2012 jackpot is $318,500.
The vast majority of predicted times have come and gone this year. Of the roughly 261,000 tickets sold, only 3,649 had a chance of winning as of Thursday, Ice Classic Manager Cherrie Forness said. That's about 1.4 percent.
"Until we actually see it staying above freezing, it doesn't give the ice much of a chance to thaw. So it's slowly rotting away here. It's not really melting," Forness said by phone from Nenana.
In Interior Alaska, Dalton Highway remained closed. The 135-mile highway usually opens by May 15, but not this year, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities said.
Crews began trying to open the highway in April but because of drifting snow must re-plow n sections that were already cleared.

A visit to the children's section of the local drugstore offers a mind-boggling array of choices-and not just the traditional variety of over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol and Motrin.
Now there are homeopathic tablets containing diluted amounts of chamomile and belladonna that promise to curb teething pain. Lavender and chamomile baby wipes and lotions offer the hope of "soothing a fussy baby."
Homeopathic remedies have long been with us. Some are based on the remedies our grandmothers suggested. They include adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a humidifier to help a child breathe easier during a cold, offering a cup of chamomile tea to relax an anxious child, using the ginger in ginger ale to soothe nausea or an olive oil rub to combat cradle cap in babies.
Evolving from some of grandma's remedies, an industry is now booming with slickly marketed alternative medicines filling drugstore shelves. They are selling and we are buying.
More than one-third of American adults used alternative medicine in 2002, according to a survey of more than 31,000 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Alternative remedies are also being used for kids. According to a 2001 American Academy of Pediatrics survey of about 1,600 pediatricians, 87 percent said in three months they had parents or patients who asked about alternative therapy,
But are these alternatives safe for our children? What so-called "all natural" remedies can be ineffective for kids? Or worse, which ones are dangerous?
The questions are easy, but finding the answers is not. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not oversee this burgeoning market, and much of the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of these remedies is anecdotal, not scientific.
"With the amount of remedies out there that aren't regulated by the FDA, it's like the Wild West," says Dr. Charles Dumont, director of Loyola's Pediatric Complementary and Alternative Medicine Program and a pediatric gastroenterologist at Loyola's Ronald McDonald Children's Hospital.
Here is what we know: • Alternative medicine includes any healing practice that is not part of mainstream medicine, with everything from acupuncture to herbs, dietary supplements to homeopathic remedies, and highly diluted substances.
• Complementary medicine uses alternative treatments along with conventional procedures. For example, some doctors recommend acupuncture and guided imagery to help kids cope with asthma, stress and eating disorders. Dumont, who is trained in mind/body medicine, says relaxation techniques can help reverse the effects of stress on the body and treat chronic illnesses. Doctors at Loyola's children's hospital have used Korean hand acupuncture-where small metal pellets are placed on acupuncture points on the hand-to help treat chronic ear infections.
• Herbs are plants or plant parts valued for medicinal qualities. These are not regulated by the FDA and can contain pesticides and heavy metals depending on how they are processed. Most herbs are not tested on children, and when they are, the results can be different. Echinacea, popular among adults for fighting colds, is ineffective for fighting colds in kids, according to a University of Washington study of children aged 2 to 11.
• Vitamin and mineral supplements are used to help ensure children and adults are getting what they need to stay healthy. Most children eating a variety of nutritious foods should not need anything beyond a multivitamin. The FDA, which does not regulate supplements, has listed the following as potentially dangerous: chaparral, comfrey, lobelia, germander, willow bark, ephedra (ma huang), L-tryptophan, germanium, magnolia-stephania preparations, dieter's teas and excess amounts of some vitamins and minerals.
Here are some suggestions to help you sort through the shelves: • Shop smart. Just because an alternative medicine is touted as "all natural" does not mean it is safe. Always check with your child's pediatrician before starting an alternative remedy for your kids.
• Do some homework. Look at the reputation of the company manufacturing the alternative medicine, the historical record on the use of the product over time and its cost. Bring your research on the remedy to your pediatrician to discuss it.
• Ask and tell. This is crucial. Pediatricians should always ask parents whether they are using alternative remedies and talk to patients about the remedies in a nonjudgmental way, according the American Academy of Pediatrics' policy.

Ambassadors for the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce will hold their annual Small Business Showcase on March 3, at the Hood River Armory.
The yearly event provides a space where local businesses can connect with potential customers and clients looking for goods and services in the area.
Both chamber members and non-members are welcome to host a table at the event from 5-7 p.m., to display information about their business. The fee is $75 for chamber members and $185 for non-members. (Non-members can choose to apply $100 of their fee to chamber membership.) Participants receive publicity about the event through media releases, the chamber website, social media and printed materials.
The event is free and open to the public, and provides visitors a chance to learn about new and established area services and products, while giving them an opportunity to network with local company owners, entrepreneurs, and vendors. Prize drawings, product displays and announcements take place throughout the evening, and many local food vendors offer the chance to taste their fare.
The event is designed to boost networking and awareness for Hood River County businesses and is managed by the Chamber Ambassadors. The Ambassadors are an arm of the chamber comprised of volunteers who work as liaisons for chamber events, support chamber outreach and participate in community programs as chamber representatives.
"The annual Small Business Showcase gives our local businesses a chance to shine," said new Chamber Ambassador president Linda Brown from NW GraphicWorks. "It's like a Business After Hours but with lots of businesses, and it ends up being a fun community event as well."
Businesses wishing to sign up to participate in the Showcase can download an application at www.hood-river.org/events-festivals/sbs or call the chamber's event coordinator, Nancy Carlson, at 541-386-2000.
The Hood River County Chamber supports economic and tourism development for the region and provides promotional programs to its 425 members. As a countywide organization, it supports businesses, organizations and governmental agencies in Cascade Locks, Hood River, Parkdale, Odell, Pine Grove and Mount Hood.

Townsend, Tennessee
June 9, 2009
Welcome to the Fishing Report. It is a beautiful sunny day in Townsend, Tennessee. I was out in the woods early listening to the song birds. It seems like the older I get the more I appreciate the simple pleasures. Listening to the woods is one of them. Stream watching is another. I stopped at the swinging bridge on my way to work. A couple from Ohio were standing on those huge boulders fishing for trout with night crawlers. We talked a while, I took the water temperature and left.
The water is 64 degrees this morning in town. It will be cooler higher in the mountains. It is going to be warm this week and we have a chance for rain every day. We don't have a great chance but it still exists. My plan is to go fishing Friday with Paula. We hope to float the lower Little River in a canoe and fish for smallmouth bass.
Fishing is excellent wherever you go. Some of the tailwater stories are amazing. Here, you are going to do better early in the morning and late in the evening. You can catch some trout during the day but evenings, for the last couple of hours will be prime time.
I would use Yellow Sally or Light Cahill patterns for a dry fly. Pheasant Tails, Green Weenies and Tellico Nymphs should work. Ants and beetles are a good idea too.
Downstream I hear the smallmouth are taking poppers. I can't seem to verify that due to high muddy water. We tried to fish down there last week on two separate days but we were weathered out.
I bet popper fishing has picked up on the lakes due to the warmer water. We have so many lakes around here and evenings spent casting poppers to the banks can yield some great bluegill and bass fishing. Our boat should be in around July 1st so we'll find out then. I guess we could fish the lakes in the canoe or our kayaks.
Business at the shop was a little slow the first week of June. I don't know why. Last year that week was excellent. And another strange thing is happening. We are getting a lot of online orders from New York. Daniel told me it is so out of the ordinary that a big shop up there might have closed. I got online and looked but didn't find anything.
Here is another possibility, one bad employee can ruin a fly shop by making people mad in a short period of time. And, by the time the owner finds out, it's too late. I've seen it happen, it happened to us years ago. One person with an ego problem and an attitude can ruin a store. If you own a fly shop and you suspect that might be happening to you, fire them. Don't wait, walk down there right now and tell them to get out. I know from experience. I don't have to worry about that. We have a top notch and very friendly crew. They are nice people who care about others.
We don't hire anyone who has not been a customer for a long time and being friendly and helpful weighs more on our decision than anything else. We don't advertise to hire staff. We would not consider hiring a stranger. We don't hire anyone who approaches us, we approach them. That way, we get who we want and don't make someone mad when we don't hire them. Of course, we have not hired many people lately. I think the last one was David Knapp last year. He worked for us while he was off for the summer from college. But, we approached him.
Fly shops are fragile but customers are loyal until you make them mad. So we do everything we can to make sure that does not happen. We don't want to make anyone mad. We want you to be happy.
I know I'm happy to be here today, doing my job and enjoying every minute of it.
I hope you have a great day too and thank you for being here.

Florida workers know their rights and don't hesitate to complain to the EEOC.
Floridians filed 307 more discrimination complaints with the EEOC in fiscal year 2011 than they did in 2010. The 8,086 complaints represented 8.1% of all EEOC charges filed in 2011. Considering that Florida's population represents only 6.01% of the nation's, the number is disproportionately high.
The greatest number of Florida complaints—3,231 in all—alleged retaliation.
Florida filings rose in every discrimination category in 2011. The highest per capita filings were for national-origin discrimination—1,446, which constituted 12.2% of the national filings in that category. Color discrimination (9.4% of national charges) and Title VII retaliation (9.1%) were the second and third highest per capita filings, respectively.

Spend some time in the heart of Chicago. Take the chance to visit Willis Tower and McCormick Place. Should you have the time, it's worth investigating Millennium Park and Hancock Tower before heading back to Bensenville.

My Brilliant Career: Lucy Prebble
As a playwright, she didn't know all that much about the inner workings of corporate fraud. Still, it didn't stop her from penning Enron, a wildly entertaining play that turns the driest of scandals into pure theater
Perhaps the unlikeliest result of the rise and 2001 collapse of the Texas energy company Enron was that it caused a young Englishwoman named Lucy Prebble to write a play, an award magnet in London, that opens this month on Broadway. Wait: a hit show about electricity markets and accounting fraud? For Prebble, the real subject of Enron is bigger: our "tragic, almost Shakespearean" capacity for self-deception. Through the story of Jeffrey Skilling, the genius manipulator who created the bubble and then fell apart when it popped, Prebble shows how an individual's fatal flaw reflects the flaws of society.
And yet without self-deception, Prebble suggests, neither she nor the world would have made the advances they have. She was studying English at the University of Sheffield when the Enron story broke, and though she knew little of business and finance, she understood what made good drama. Over the next eight years, as her other projects were produced (a play about a pedophile, a TV series about a call girl), she kept returning to the Enron idea and found that her growing expertise was only part of why she could write it. Just as important was remembering the feeling of not knowing much: "You have to keep a link to your own ignorance," she says.
The friction between sophistication and naïveté led her to develop the bristling theatrical vocabulary—visual puns, puppets, song and dance—that turned a confusing subject into a hit. And it has put the author, now 29, in something of a speculative bubble herself. She's now offered "big, weighty" projects about business, politics, and religion usually reserved for "old male figures." That women dramatists are still deemed appropriate only for "women's" stories is a ridiculous stereotype Prebble is glad to shatter, though she likes those stories, too, and has more work of both kinds on her plate than she knows what to do with. "I've learned that sometimes when you take big, ambitious risks, it pays off," she says. "Which is a lesson Enron learned the other way round."

Royal Canin Urinary SO Canine Bag Dry LP18 has been formulated to reduce urinary RSS values for struvite, calcium oxalate, and brushite. Reduced RSS values help decrease the risk of urolith formation. The diet undersaturates the urine for struvite, thereby, helping to promote dissolution of pure struvite uroliths (in conjunction with antibiotic therapy where appropriate).This highly palatable complete diet is specially designed to ensure the production of a large volume of moderately acidic urine with low struvite and calcium oxalate Relative Supersaturation (RSS) levels. Royal Canin urinary diet will dissolve and prevent occurrence of struvite and prevent spontaneous homogeneous crystallisation of oxalate.

Orangeburg, N.Y. - The Adelphi University men's lacrosse team traveled to Orangeburg, New York on Wednesday, April 14 to take on Dominican College. The Panthers Kevin Kemp netted the game winner with just 1:30 to lift Adelphi to a 11-10 win. With the victory Adelphi even's their record at 4-4, while Dominican falls to 3-6.
Adelphi scored three of the first four goals as Jonathan Baron, Mike Iorio and Connor McCann found the back of the Dominican net to give the Panthers a 3-1 lead with 7:47 left in the first. However, the Chargers responded with three straight of their own to take a 4-3 lead into the second period.
Iorio netted the first goal of the second quarter to knot the game at four, but Dominican had another answer, retaking the lead at the 9:04 mark. Then Kemp and Baron got hot as each played tallied two goals over the next 20 minutes of play to lift Adelphi to a 8-5 lead with 4:48 to play in the third.
Dominican scored the last goal of the third quarter and the first of the fourth to creep to within one, 8-7. Chris Aiello pushed the Adelphi lead back to two, 9-7, but the Chargers would reel off two straight to knot the game at nine with 6:55 to play.
Adelphi and Dominican would exchange goals one more time, with the Chargers keeping the game even with a tally at the 3:19 mark. Kemp then put Adelphi on top for good with just 90 seconds left as he found the back of the Dominican net, unassisted.
Brendan Bonacum made 17 goals in a losing effort for Dominican, while Devin Schneiderbauer collected the win and 15 saves. Adelphi held a slight edge in shots, 42-38, while Dominican picked up more ground balls, 36-33 and won more face-offs, 15-10 then Adelphi.
The Panthers return to action on Saturday, April 17 when they travel to Manchester, New Hampshire to take on Northeast-10 opponent Southern New Hampshire.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hi, thanks for your question. You should hire a lawyer for specific legal advice. No attorney client relationship is created here.
Chapter 7 will stop the garnishment immediately.
The creditor will get to keep what they have taken to date, but no more can be taken while the bankruptcy is pending. then the debt is discharged at the end of the case.
do you have any other questions ?
Ok, I thought a judgment on unsecured debt somehow gave the unsecured creditor the same rights as a secured creditor in bankruptcy (lien passes through, etc.). Just so I understand - the garnishments resulting from a judgement on unsecured debt will stop after the chapter 7 filing and debtor discharge is complete?
Only if they record their lien against real estate
a wage garnishment must stop instantly once filed.
it stops once filed.
a lien would have to be stripped off of real estate if they have a judgment lien recorded on the title.
Ok, that clears it up. Thank you!

By Kenric Ward | Watchdog.org Virginia Bureau
RICHMOND, Va. – Warning an Obama administration "Clean Power Plan" would sharply increase Virginians' electric rates, Republican lawmakers want to put themselves between the Environmental Protection Agency and Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
Targeting both the EPA and the state's Department of Environmental Quality, Senate Bill 1442 would require General Assembly approval of any rules submitted to Washington by the DEQ.
The Virginia State Corporation Commission concluded that the EPA power plan "is likely to increase substantially the bills and rates Virginians pay for their electricity, and could impact significantly the reliability of the electrical service they receive."
SB 1442, introduced by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, would halt all spending by the DEQ until multiple lawsuits against the EPA are resolved. The bill would also require that SCC staff, not the DEQ, perform a complete analysis of the costs and effects of the EPA plan.
The Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee is scheduled to hear the bill Thursday.
Carol Stopps, spokeswoman for the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation, called it "one of the most important bills of the year."
Randy Randol, energy/environment consultant for the federation, called the EPA plan "a backdoor energy tax on Virginia consumers."
According to the SCC staff, the proposed EPA regulations would:
- Boost compliance costs for one utility — Dominion Virginia Power — by $5.5 to $6 billion.
- Stick Virginia electricity consumers with billions of dollars in "stranded" costs for existing facilities that are forced to retire prematurely. This include recent investments in existing coal-fired facilities.
- Swap 2,851 megawatts of fossil-fuel generation in favor of 351 megawatts of intermittent onshore wind power.
- Impose substantially more stringent emission requirements for existing generating units in Virginia than the standard for new units, yet to be built.
The SCC report concluded that the EPA plan "incorporates generic and unsupported expectations of levels of renewable generation and energy efficiency that, when applied to Virginia, are extremely ambitious (and) almost certainly unachievable."
"Virginia would have little, if any, input regarding the compliance obligations for a substantial amount of out-of-state generation currently used to maintain reliable electric service at just and reasonable rates for Virginia consumers."
Randol said, "The EPA has doubled down on bad policy. The existing power plant rule is in addition to other rules that will impose regressive costs on Virginia seniors and the poor."
McAuliffe's press office did not respond to Watchdog's request for comment.

Stocks retreated on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Friday, pressured by profit-taking after they briefly surged following the Bank of Japan's unexpected decision to introduce supplementary monetary easing measures.
The 225-issue Nikkei average dived 366.76 points, or 1.90 percent, to end at 18,986.80. On Thursday, the key market gauge climbed 303.65 points.
The Topix index of all first-section issues plunged 27.61 points, or 1.76 percent, to close at 1,537.10, after rising 23.99 points the previous day.
After the central bank announced measures to supplement its quantitative and qualitative easing policy in the early afternoon, the Nikkei average jumped over 500 points at one point as many investors had expected that no action would come out of the BOJ's policy meeting.
But the key market gauge soon lost stream and fell into negative territory as investors started to believe the BOJ's supplementary measures lacked impact. The Nikkei average extended losses due to index futures-led selling, brokers said.
The BOJ's measures include increasing its purchases of exchange-traded funds by ¥300 billion a year from ¥3 trillion at present.
Investors rushed to buy stocks immediately after the BOJ released the supplementary steps. Some analysts said it was a big surprise because the market's consensus was that the BOJ would not make any change in its monetary policy.
However, "investors increasingly came to think that the amount of ETF buying was very small," said Tomoaki Fujii, head of the corporate research division at Takagi Securities Co.
"The Nikkei would have closed around 19,200-19,300 if the BOJ keeps its monetary policy unchanged. But the lackluster supplementary measures ended up damping investor sentiment," Fujii said.
Falling issues outnumbered rising ones 1,578 to 279 in the TSE's first section, while 72 issues were unchanged.
Volume increased to 2.99 billion shares from Thursday's 2.25 billion shares.
All 33 sector subindexes in the first section closed lower.
Lower crude oil prices in New York triggered selling of resource-linked names. Among them were oil companies Idemitsu Kosan, JX Holdings and Showa Shell, as well as trading houses Itochu, Sumitomo and Mitsubishi.
Megabank groups Mitsubishi UFJ and Sumitomo Mitsui and brokerage firm Nomura and insurer Dai-ichi Life slumped.
On the other hand, steel makers Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal and JFE Holdings drew buybacks.
Also on the plus side were drug makers Takeda and Ono Pharmaceutical and railway operator JR West.
In index futures trading on the Osaka Exchange, the key March contract on the Nikkei average lost 390 points to end at 18,950.

The Salsa Lip-Lock keeps your seatpost secure and looks great all-the-while. A pivoting stainless steel threaded insert reduces bowing and fatiguing of the pinch bolt. Available in 28.6mm, 30.0mm, 30.6mm, 32.0mm and 35.0mm sizes. Black. 34g.
I was having an issue with my seat dropping down slowly and occasionally even twisting during my ride. I would have to stop intermittently to readjust it during the ride. I swapped out the factory quick release for this beefier Lip-Lock and the seat now holds firmly in position. As a bonus, I no longer have to worry about someone flipping the lever and walking off with my saddle. I highly recommend this over the stock seat clamp. You will not be disappointed
Love how one it proforms. Needed something that would stay put during down hill rough riding
Perfect fit. No more slip. Well machined part.
Tightened it down to 4NM and have not had a problem. The seats stays in place and doesn't move. Great product
This is just one of those things that you lump in to the cost of buying a new bike, along with a Thomson post and and whatever saddle you prefer to ride. Even top end bikes usually come with some glorified pipe clamp with a junk bolt threaded directly into low quality aluminum. Strippedloose seat binder tops the list of unlikely equipment failures that I hear from DNF'd racers all the time. Get your saddle where you want it and then KEEP IT THERE. The steel nut-insert in this makes it about infinity percent better than most stock binders and the bolt is a nice big hex size that you will never strip. It's like one gram heavier... do it.

Spiritually Committed Public School Teachers: Their Beliefs and Practices Concerning Religious Expression in the Classroom
Clifford Mayes and Scott Ellis Ferrin
Some researchers have suggested that public school teachers occasionally have incorrect views about the place of religion and spirituality in the classroom, believing that legal and institutional constraints are either more or less rigorous than they actually are.1 The purpose of this study was to discover what a group of veteran public school teachers in a master's program in educational administration believed regarding religious expression in the public school classroom.
There has been a growing call for more research into public school teachers' spiritual commitments and how those commitments might impact their classroom practice in either useful or questionable ways.2 In response to that call, this study examined how, if at all, a teacher's spiritual commitments—or lack thereof—might relate to a teacher's views and practices regarding religious expression in the classroom.3 "Religious expression" was operationally limited for the purposes of this study to include these issues: Whether a teacher has a right to express his or her spiritually based perspective on an issue under analysis in the classroom, and, if so, under what conditions; whether or not the student has a right to express his or her spiritually based perspective on an issue under analysis in the classroom, and, if so, under what conditions; and whether or not the student has a right to pray in the classroom and, if so, under what conditions.
Another reason for examining a teacher's spiritual commitments is that these commitments may be significant if that teacher engages in "reflectivity"—or deep introspective processes about one's sense of calling and actual practice as a teacher.4 For certain teachers, reflectivity may need to include spiritual considerations if is to be descriptively rich and existentially valid.5 Indeed, in the United States, spiritual commitment tends to be widespread, with fully 94% of the people believing in God, 69% believing in life after death, 60% having a formal religious affiliation, and 40% attending a religious service on any given week.6 There is no reason to suppose that these numbers would be lower for teachers. Given the service orientation of teaching, these numbers may even be higher; however, the growing movement toward reflectivity in both teacher education and teacher development tends to encompass only the biographical and political domains.7
Biographical reflectivity encourages teachers to examine the experiential determinants of their sense of calling as teachers, their classroom practices, and their overarching goals for both themselves and their students.8 Critical reflectivity, rooted in the Marxist critique of United States education,9 encourages teachers to examine their conscious and unconscious political assumptions and how those assumptions might be shaping what and how they teach.10 These are important modes of reflectivity which have done much to broaden and humanize teacher education in recent decades. However, for the teacher whose sense of calling and purpose also has a spiritual component, "spiritual reflectivity"11 may need to supplement biographical and critical reflectivity in order to address more fully the question of what makes that person "tick" as a teacher.
Spiritual reflectivity defines "spiritual commitment" broadly as "the pursuit of a trans-personal and trans-temporal reality that serves as the ontological ground for an ethic of compassion and service."12 This pursuit may involve a specific religious commitment, and for the respondents in this study it did in all but one case. A better sense of the salience of such formal or non-formal spiritual commitments among teachers will allow those of us involved in teacher reflectivity to know how prominently, if at all, "spiritual reflectivity" should figure in our work with spiritually committed teachers. And, as in this present study, it can also play a crucial role in examining how a teacher's spiritual commitments may be affecting that teacher's practice in productive or problematic ways.
Before turning to how the teachers in this study responded to questions about their spiritual commitments and their classroom practices regarding religious expression, it will first be useful to summarize some of the most important legal cases and principles that inform this topic.
