Fall Fishing on the Oromocto River
James and I decided to go fishing on Saturday at the Oromocto River. It is connected to the Saint John River and therefore is considered to be tidal water so it stays open longer into the season. I picked James up at 5:30 and we were off. A quick stop at the Tim's in Salisbury for a breakfast sandwich and we were on the highway to Oromocto. We arrived right around 7am. There were already a couple of trucks there and another person putting their boat in while we were there. The marina was all apart and up by the ball field. We were just using my canoe with the trolling motor so we were hoping we would not run into many other boats on the water.
We got everything ready and put in. We went directly to the left and starting fishing our way up the river. I started using a fire tiger coloured diving bait that I had luck with two weeks earlier when I was fishing with Glenn. I used this bait for awhile but did not have any luck. I then set up a senko and rigged it wacky style. I started casting the senko by structure on top of the water. All the structure on the river system were trees hanging over the edge or actually lying in the water. After a handful of cast a bass hit the senko. It felt like a nice bass and it jumped out of the water a few times. It is always nice to have the bass jump out of the water. We took a quick picture and put it back in the water. We continued our way up the river without a lot of success.
We continued to try some different baits and did some trolling and also continued to cast by the structure. James caught the next bass and then got on quite a chain pickerel roll. The two times I have been there with Glenn we only caught one pickerel right in the river. Today was quite different. There seemed to be quite a few pickerel in the river on this day. James must have caught 4 or 5 pickerel in a short period of time. He was having good luck on a mepps. He was even nice enough to let me use one. We were both using a silver one. We each caught a few more pickerel using these and then James decided to put on a Red Devil. He was using this by a little inlet on the river and had a very nice hit. The fish gave a very nice tug and then came to the service. We could tell right away that it was a very nice bass. Once we got it into the canoe were measured it. It was 18 inches long. It was also very thick. It was the best catch of the day. I continued to use the silver bait and I got a nice hit. It was also a nice bass. It jumped out of the water. It was probably a little bit bigger than the fish bass I caught earlier in the morning.
We continued up the river and caught a few more pickerel and smaller bass. It was getting to be later in the afternoon and we decided we better turn around so we would not be on the water after dark. We did make it to French Lake, which is good as we were just using the trolling motor. We did some speed fishing on the way back without any success, but our focus was on getting back. We made it to the launch at 7pm, just as it was pretty well dark and the marine battery was pretty well out of power. It was almost perfect timing.
We could not have asked for a better day on the water. We caught some pickerel and bass, it was quite warm, and there was virtually no wind. It was probably the only day we could say that all fishing season. The water was like glass all day. We also only had to deal with two boats all day. When they went by we just faced the canoe towards them so we would not have any problems with the waves. This did work but I must say I was frustrated that neither boat slowed down when they went by us. I can not understand way a bigger boat would not slow down when they see a canoe in the water.
If this was my last day of fishing, it was a good one. We had a great day together catching some fish and having some laughs, which is what it is all about!

MLK Day exercise at Frank Zeek School
The Ukiah Daily Journal
Students in the third and fourth grade classes of Mr. Murphy at Frank Zeek Elementary School spent some time last week discussing the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
"In class we talked abut Rev. King, " Murphy explained. "We discussed briefly Rosa Parks and the civil rights movement. Our discussion took us to the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. We talked about the concept of freedom and what it means."
From that, the students were asked to write down their "dream" for society. The following are some of their essays. The individual names of the children who wrote were not provided to the Daily Journal .
? My dream is I wish we had bullet proof schools. I would not like someone to get shot. I would like for our school to be protected. It we don't have bullet proof schools obviously someone will get hurt. We can make our schools safer by getting guards.
? I have a dream that all animals will have a loving home and owner. Animals do not deserve to be beaten, tortured or starved. animal abuse is just plain mean. If you have an animal you should make sure that your pet has a loving home. to stop animal abuse you should adopt responsibly and keep your animals healthy.
? I have a dream. I want cigarettes to be illegal in every state. The reason I think that is because people won't die fast. My dad smokes and I worry about him. That is the reason it would be good for cigarettes to be illegal.
? I dream of free borders. Today many people cannot travel back and forth between Mexico and the United States because they do not have permission. A lot of Mexican people have snuck into the USA because there are better jobs that pay more in America. This is why they sneak into the country.
The problem is often they want to go back and see a lot of their family members. However, they don't because they are afraid of not being able to come back to America.
My dream of free borders would allow Mexican families to travel freely. They could go back and forth between the countries, see their families, bring them money, help the elders, and visit old friends.
? I have a dream that there's no more animal abuse. There are no good reasons to hurt animals. By abusing animals we run the risk of making them go extinct and that's not good. Some ways people abuse animals are they abandon them, they tie them up and leave them to die. Others can't take care of them or don't like their animals or they're mean. If that doesn't happen no other animals will feel that pain. So feed your animal and take care of your animal. If you can't take care of them, take them to the animal shelter or give them away.
? I have a dream that when I grow up I want to be a soldier because I want to help our country. I also would be able to see lots of places. I could go to Hawaii and Japan. I want to be a rifleman. I want to be in the military for 2 years. I want to go to the military when I am 18. At 20, I want to start my career. I want to be a police officer. I want to patrol neighborhoods. There is a lot of things a police officer does. They set up road blocks. They have tire spikes. They arrest people for crimes. They carry handcuffs, a gun and a baton. I can't wait to be a cop.
? I have a dream that all the homeless will have a home and all people are happy. One reason is because I don't want them to get sick outside. Another reason is because it is sad to see people living outside on the streets. It makes me worry some.
Helping them will be hard. There are a lot of homeless people. I think one way we could help them is we can give them food. This will help them not starve. Another thing we can do is we can give them money. That will help them find a place to stay.
This is a big problem that lots of people can solve. It takes all of us. If we help them, it will make our world better.
? One dream I have is to be a mechanic. I think it would be cool to work on all kinds of cars. It will save money and if my car ever has problems, I can work on it myself. It'll keep me busy doing something I like. I am not going to buy a car, I'm going to make one.
? Today I am going to tell you my dream. I dreamed of a world where people would not kill other people. It is cruel to kill other people. That it is not nice to hurt other people. How my dream could come true is, I would tell people not to kill other people. Another way how my dream could come true is be nice to people around me so they don't kill other people. The next way is that if they probably will be nice and say nice stuff to other people.
? A long time ago Martin Luther King had a dream and now this is mine. My dream is about homeless people. I see homeless people everywhere. I feel bad and sad. I think they should get free homeless to live in. So we should help them get homes. There is a homeless person I see all the time. My mom told me he had cancer. I was sad when she told me that he had cancer. So we have to help them. So that was my dream. I hope it will happen.

Gone are the days when Australia simply had to turn up to the Commonwealth Games to ensure a bag full of gymnastics gold.
With the rhythmic team having finished their Glasgow Games commitments without a medal to their name, attention now turns to Australia's artistic team - led by former world champion Lauren Mitchell.
Mitchell - the only gymnast returning from the Delhi team - was one of the stars of those 2010 Games with four gold and one silver medals.
But from being the 19-year-old star on the rise four years ago, Mitchell is now the veteran team leader, desperate to hold off the improved challenge from Canada and England.
Canada finished fifth and the combined Great Britain sixth in the women's team final at the London Olympics where Australia bombed out in qualifying and finished 10th.
The Aussies know their Commonwealth dominance in under threat.
"There is pressure there but at the same time all we can do is our job," Mitchell said.
"We're really ready, our preparation's been quite good.
"Canada and England are definitely the big threats, although both of them have had to send in a reserve, so hopefully that helps our chances."
A recent shoulder operation means Mitchell can't collect the same swag of medals she won in Delhi, with the uneven bars - and hence the individual all-around - off the table.
She will get the chance to go one better than the silver she won on the floor in Delhi - the same apparatus in which she claimed Australia's first women's world title just a few months later.

Rahm Emanuel has been elected the next mayor of Chicago!
Here is a bit of what our new mayor has to say about bicycling in Chicago:
Rahm supports full implementation of Chicago's Bike Plan and will initiate a review of its goals and timelines to identify opportunities to expand the plan and accelerate the pace of implementation.
Chicago's 125 miles of bike lanes cover a small portion of the city's 5000 miles of roads. Rahm wants to dramatically increase the number of miles added each year – from 8 to 25 – and prioritize the creation of protected bike lanes. His plan is based on a simple premise: create a bike lane network that allows every Chicagoan – from kids on their first ride to senior citizens on their way to the grocery store – to feel safe on our streets.
Under the plan, Chicago would be a pioneer in the creation and expansion of protected bike lanes, which are separated from traveling cars and sit between the sidewalk and a row of parked cars that shield cyclists from street traffic. He will prioritize the lanes on major thoroughfares that link communities to downtown and each other.
I was surprised and impressed by the specificity of these campaign promises, especially the emphasis on protected bike lanes, which the city so desperately needs to encourage more people to ride a bike.
Mayor Daley has done a lot for bicycling in Chicago, but I've seen very little progress in the last couple of years. I'm excited for a fresh start!
You can read more about Emanuel's transportation plans here, with sections on public transportation, bicycling and high speed rail.

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons forwards coach Kingsley Jones was delighted to get his kicks out of his son's exploits from the tee on Sunday afternoon, writes Chris Kirwan.
The former Wales flanker was unable to watch when full-back Rhys, who was starting his second game for the region, lined up a tricky conversion of Ross Wardle's late try down the left against Glasgow.
But his 26-year-old lad nailed it from the touchline to give the Dragons a 24-23 lead that they held on to for a superb RaboDirect Pro12 win at Rodney Parade.
The coaching staff were tense enough after enduring a poor start to 2014 but there was extra stress for Jones.
Not only did he have two of his sons playing – 21-year-old Cross Keys fly-half Dorian took to the field as a replacement for Jason Tovey – but had one of them under the spotlight from the tee.
"When Rhys was a kid at Sale Philippe Saint-Andre liked him a lot and gave him a few opportunities," said Jones, who gauged the success of the late conversion by watching director of rugby Lyn Jones' reaction rather than the kick.
"I remember thinking in a game against Wasps (at Adams Park in 2007) that it was hard enough having him playing let alone kicking goals.
"To be fair to Rhys he has gone to play sevens full-time (for Wales) so place kicking has gone out of his game. It's something that he doesn't do week in, week out but he came up with the goods."
The Dragons became the first side to enjoy a home Pro12 win against Glasgow this season and did the double over the title hopefuls.
"To get a home win against a top side is fantastic," said Jones. "The attitude couldn't be faulted and that's how we gauge things at the moment.
"Are the coaches putting everything in? Are the players putting everything in?
"You could see that the answer is yes with the way that they defended at the end and the way that they kept positive to get back into it (when 20-10 down after an hour).
"With that fight we have always got a chance."
The victory keeps the Dragons hot on the tails of the sixth-placed Scarlets and builds a five-point gap against a Cardiff Blues side that have played a game more and who have just one Arms Park fixture remaining.
"I think there is a clear gap between the top five and the rest but we've got to keep chasing for that sixth place," said Jones.
"I'm fed up of hearing about the Dragons as the fourth region. Okay, we're not going to be first region yet but we need to start to change people's thoughts and if we can finish above at least one rival it'll be a start."

These pictures of the 2009 BMW S1000RR were snapped at Magny Cours as the company tested its new superbike against the direct competition; namely the Yamaha R1, 2008 Honda CBR1000RR and Ducati 1098R. This most conventional of BMWs — it has telescopic forks, chain drive and a 1,000cc inline-four — is aiming to beat the Japanese at their own game, and with 190bhp powering 190kg (wet) it looks like it'll be able to do just that. With these latest photos, details of the S1000RR's Formula One-inspired drive train are beginning to emerge.
In comparison, the 2008 CBR1000RR makes 178bhp and weighs 199kg (wet).
Drawing on its car racing expertise, BMW is equipping the 1,000cc,
16-valve engine with its latest Double-Vanos variable valve timing. The
latest iteration of this system allows continuously variable adjustment
of both the inlet and exhaust valve timing, which boosts torque across
the range and reduces emissions. Unlike the VTEC system employed on
the current Honda VFR800, the BMW design has no tangible kick in its
power delivery.
Suspension on the S1000RR is by Öhlins, utilizing its latest SBK-spec
FGR 800 fork with Twin Tube Technology and a pressurized cartridge
damping system. The latter can be seen in the external, rear-mounted
cylinder, which contains a damping piston that reduces the risk of
cavitation. The rear Öhlins shock is the same item used by the factory
Yamaha SBK team.
Brembo provides the brakes, with the latest radial monoblock calipers.
These are being used on many 2009 model year bikes, including the 2009 KTM 990 Supermoto R.
Fuel injection for the S1000RR is provided by Dellorto, which also
supplies systems for the BMW M3 and M5 supercars. Both of those
vehicles use drive-by-wire technology, strongly indicating that a
similar system could be used for BMW's new superbike.
Hidden by the latest swirly camo from the BMW car division, you can also see new gill-like vents on the right fairing.
BMW Motorrad CEO Hendrik von Kuenheim has stated that only 1,000
S1000RRs will be built in 2009, meaning that at least the first year's
production of this new machine is going to be extremely hard to come
by. With such advanced technology, we'd expect a similarly high price.
The S1000RR will also be entered in SBK competition for 2009; the
company fully expects to be competitive from day one. According the von
Kuenheim, this will be the first of several new 'S' supersport models
from BMW, all of which will do away with BMW's traditional
idiosyncrasies in order to be directly competitive with the Japanese.
We expect big things.

NEW YORK — Oil prices climbed Friday after Israeli troops fired on crowds in Gaza surging toward the border fence, killing one Palestinian.
Benchmark crude ended the trading day up 90 cents to $88.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent, which is used to price international varieties of oil, was up 83 cents to $111.38 a barrel.
Friday's killing is the first violence since a truce between Israel and the militant Hamas group was reached two days ago. Before the shooting, oil prices had been falling, thanks mostly to optimism over the stability in the region that the cease-fire agreement provided.
Israel launched an offensive on Nov. 14 to halt rocket fire from Gaza, unleashing about 1,500 airstrikes on Hamas-linked targets, while Hamas and other Gaza militants showered Israel with just as many rockets. The truce reached Wednesday had eased fears of a war that could broaden beyond Gaza and eventually disrupt oil supplies.
Paul Tossetti, senior director of markets and country strategies at PFC Energy, said prices were linked to the action in Gaza, but he expects this to be a temporary bump and believes that the cease fire would ultimately hold.
"I expect the market might back away from those concerns," he said.
Traders also are looking ahead to the next meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries on Dec. 12. Tossetti said OPEC has been maintaining high levels of production but he doesn't expect anything to change at the upcoming meeting.
"It will probably be a non-event and a non-event for prices," he said.
In the U.S., motorists returning from the Thanksgiving holiday are getting the slightest bit of relief. The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline fell one-tenth of a cent to $3.43. That, however, is still 10 cents higher than last Thanksgiving.
Other futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Wholesale gasoline lost nearly 6 cents to end at $2.7439 a gallon.
— Natural gas lost 0.2 cents to end at $3.901 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil was up 5 cents to end at $3.0771 a gallon.

What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are a small reddish-brown insect found worldwide, that live by feeding off the blood of humans and other mammals, such as birds and bats. Bed bugs are wingless and nocturnal. Bed bugs are generally active only at dawn, with a peak feeding period about an hour before sunrise. After feeding for about five minutes, the bug returns to its hiding place.
Bites consist of a raised red bump or flat welt, and are often accompanied by intense itching. The red bump or welts are the result of an allergic reaction to the anesthetic contained in the bedbug's saliva, which is inserted into the blood of the host. Bed bug bites may appear indistinguishable from mosquito bites, though they tend to last for longer periods.
Bites may not become immediately visible, and can take up to 9 days to appear. Bed bug bites tend to not have a red dot in the center such as is characteristic of flea bites. A trait shared with flea bites, however, is tendency towards arrangements of sequential bites. Bites are often aligned three in a row, giving rise to the colloquialism "breakfast, lunch and dinner."
There have been no known cases of bed bugs passing disease from host to host. Extensive testing has been done in laboratory settings that also conclude that bed bugs are unlikely to pass disease from one person to another. Therefore bedbugs are less dangerous than some more common insects such as the flea.
How did we get bed bugs?
Bed bugs were originally brought to the United States by early colonists from Europe. Bedbugs thrive in places with high occupancy, such as hotels. Bedbugs were believed to be altogether eradicated 50 years ago in the United States and elsewhere with the widespread use of DDT.This is no longer used and may account for the resurgence of these bugs in the US, as might the increase in international travel.
Bed bugs may be found in homes, motels, hostels, movie theaters, transportation depots and rest rooms. They may be accidentally moved with clothes, suitcases, furniture and other personal items. Bed bugs may also be transported in second-hand or rental furniture. Bed bugs do not fly or jump, but they move quickly over floors, walls, ceilings, and furniture.
Anyone who comes in direct contact with bed bugs can carry them into their homes. Bed bugs are equal opportunity pests – they will infest anyone, anywhere. Infestations are not tied to unsanitary living conditions; even world-class hotels have reported bed bug problems.
What is the treatment for bed bug bites?
It is important to note that bed bugs do not carry any human diseases. Suggestions to treat the bites include:
What happens when the exterminator comes to my room?
If your room, suite or apartment is confirmed to have bed bugs, the University's exterminator will come to treat your room. You will be required to bag and remove all clothing and bedding prior to the treatment.
The treatment will likely consist of a few different approaches: A pesticide will be applied to locations within your room that may harbor the bugs. The exterminator may place glue boards in your room. These boards can be good detectives and show the degree of success of the treatment. The exterminator and/or Facilities Management will perform a THOROUGH and DETAILED vacuuming of your room and belongings. All of your room and items contained within it should be vacuumed on the outside surface and each drawer, crevice, etc. must also be vacuumed. You will need to be out of your room during treatment and for 2 hours after treatment is completed (expect around 4 hours).
Once you are permitted back in your room, you may unpack your laundry. This includes: mattress, bed frame, dresser, personal furniture, desk and chair, books and bookshelf, window and frame, inside closet, blinds, electrical equipment and computer, laundry basket, pictures, posters, shoes and shoe boxes, clock and phone, area rugs, audio or video equipment, mirror, cd/dvd cases, perimeter of room.
A follow-up treatment will occur 14 days after the initial treatment. Rooms adjacent, above and below will also be treated as a precaution.
When I travel, what can I do to reduce my risk of bringing these bugs back with me?
First, look at the room to seek potential hiding places for bedbugs, such as carpet edges, mattress seams, pillow case linings, head boards, wall trim or other tiny crack-like places bed bugs might hide.
Next, look specifically at the mattress seams for signs of bed bug activity: droppings, eggs, bloodstains or even bed bugs themselves – hiding in tiny folds and seam lines.
Never leave your clothing laying on the bed, or any location of possible infestation. Instead, use hangers or hooks capable of keeping all cloth distant from the floor or bed.
It's also not a bad idea to elevate suitcases off the floor on a luggage stand, tabletop or other hard surface. Close your suitcase, travel bag, when you're not using it. This way, during the night the bugs may move over top of your luggage with greater difficulty to get inside. Elevate your luggage off the floor to tables or chairs. These may also be hiding places, but less likely.
Keep any bed bug you find (intact if possible) to show the hotel owner.
When you return from any travel (especially abroad) it is a good idea to take your suitcase to the laundromat so you can wash ALL items before taking the suitcase to your home, residence hall, etc. If you do your wash in hot water before entering your residence, you will stop the spread of these bugs.
What SHOULD I do if I believe I have bed bugs?
What SHOULDN'T I do if I believe I have bed bugs?
Don't panic! Although bed bugs can be annoying, they can be battled safely and successfully if you follow all guidelines given to you by Residence Life.
If you believe you have bed bugs, do NOT delay notifying your RD. If you let your RD know early on a business day, the exterminator may be able to inspect your room the same day. If this is not possible, the exterminator will come the next business day. Please keep in mind that it is only possible to get service from the exterminator during weekday business hours.
Do not apply pesticides on your own. The University hires a licensed pest control operator to confirm the infestation and to develop an integrated pest management plan.
Do not move your mattress or any furniture out into the hallway.
Infested furniture can be cleaned and treated. Placing infested furniture (particularly mattresses) into common areas or on the street may simply help spread bed bugs to the rooms and suites of other students.
Do not go sleep in a friend's room or in places off-campus. If you actually have bed bugs, you will only spread them to others.

As right-wing radio talk show host announces plans to end show, Dallas actvist looks back a decade to another protest against her
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
Right-wing radio host "Dr. Laura" Schlessinger announced this week that she would end her talk show when her contract runs out later this year.
The advice show host gained notoriety in the 1990s with statements that included calling gays and lesbians "biological errors" and blaming Mathew Shepard for his own murder.
Rafael McDonnell worked at KRLD at the time, and he said this week that Dallas made her career.
The Dallas talk radio station was the first to broadcast Schlessinger's show outside Los Angeles. After its success here, McDonnell said, the program was syndicated nationwide. Dallas remained Schlessinger's top market for years, and at her peak, she was heard on more than 450 stations. She ranked second in listeners after Rush Limbaugh.
McDonnell recalled Schlessinger's visit to the station.
"Station employees were instructed not to look at her, not to talk to her, not to have any interaction with her," he said, unlike with other celebrities who visited the station.
In 2000, Schlessinger was offered a TV contract. Local Dallas activists worked to keep her off local television.
Dallas activist John Selig was one of the creators of StopDrLaura.com, a website that MoveOn.org still uses in its training as a model of successful activism.
Selig laughed at the current publicity surrounding Schlessinger and said he hadn't thought much about "the fake doctor" in years.
Schlessinger has a PhD in physiology, not in counseling, psychology or anything related to that. She claims that her advice is based on morality and is not psychological. She holds no degrees in ethics, religion or theology either.
Selig got involved in StopDrLaura after attending a protest in Los Angeles outside Paramount Studios, the producer of her TV show.
When he got back to Dallas, he organized a protest at Channel 11 that was signed to air the show that fall. He said that after the success of the Dallas protest, 35 other cities held demonstrations at their local Dr. Laura affiliates.
"Our goal was never to get her off AM radio," Selig said.
He said AM talk radio was filled with right-wing talk shows, but their group felt that television presented a new threat, especially to LGBT teens who would take her message to heart.
"She went way overboard with us and she went way overboard again this time," Selig said, referring to a call to Schlessinger's radio show last week that received national attention and has led, apparently, to the end of her radio career.
In that call, an African-American woman called to talk about her white husband's friends and family members who make racist comments in front of her.
In her answer, Schlessinger used the "N" word 11 times and advised the woman she was being too sensitive, and that if she was so sensitive about such things, she shouldn't have married outside her own race.
When the caller became angry and tried to reprimand Schlessinger for her language, Schlessinger replied, "Don't N-double-A-C-P me."
Although she apologized for using the "N" word, Schlessinger never addressed the rest of her comments. Earlier this week, she announced she was leaving radio because she wanted to regain her First Amendment rights.
Selig had a different view.
"What she wants to do is to speak and not be accountable for her words," Selig said.
Selig said that the current campaign to let Target know about the LGBT community's disapproval of their political donation to a homophobic candidate is the same kind of effort he helped launch against Schlessinger in 2000.
At that time, Selig contacted a number of Schlessinger's advertisers back then and convinced them to drop their support of her show. A number of those advertisers pulled their money from her radio program as well.
Weak advertising sales contributed to the early demise of the TV show.
Selig said he learned from StopDrLaura that when a company like Target spends money to harm the LGBT community, they need to be held accountable.
Selig said he learned from the fight against Schlessinger that there's no use calling a company's customer service line.
"Call media relations or investor relations," he said. "Those numbers are always listed — and they'll listen."
In her announcement that she was quitting radio, Schlessinger acted bewildered at the LGBT community's continued disdain for her.
On "Larry King Live" this week, she called committed same-sex relationships "a beautiful thing and a healthy thing."
But in 2000, in addition to blaming Shepard for his own murder, Schlessinger said a vast majority of gay men are pedophiles. She also called gays and lesbians "sexual deviants" and said that people should keep their children away from gay relatives.
Her "biological error" comment was one she repeated on the air often.
Schlessinger, however, denied that she engaged in anti-gay speech.
"Unless I have hallucinated, I have never made an anti-gay commentary," she said on her show.
Selig had some advice this week for the talk show host. He said Schlessinger should take some advice from the title of one of her own books: "Stop Whining."

Mt. Pleasant-based 3S International LLC, founded in March 2013, has plans to open a total of six more recycling centers in metropolitan areas in the next 3 ½ years years after opening a 60,000-square-foot plant in Tinley Park, Ill., about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, according to Gina Yob, vice president of sales and marketing.
Yob said 3S — whose name stands for "safe, secure and sustainable" — is considering locations in the tri-county area. It expects to occupy 40,000 to 80,000 square feet and create between 20 and 50 mostly full-time jobs by the end of the year.
She declined to say how large of an investment the local plant would be.
The company does not plan new construction. Finding an existing building for the plant has proven difficult because 3S needs ceilings at least 21 feet high, Yob said.
The company has considered former General Motors Co. buildings now being marketed by the RACER Trust, but their square footages are "way beyond what we need," she said.
In the Michigan plant, there could be two recycling machines, each of which could recycle about 14 million pounds of electronics, which is the current electronics consumption rate of about 6 million people, Yob said.
Cellphones, flat-screen TVs, laptop and desktop computers, DVD players, video game consoles and others are among the items 3S can recycle.
At the top
Gina Yob is a minority shareholder, as is her cousin, 3S CEO Joe Yob, who has been in the industry since 1989 and has authored textbook chapters and white papers on the subject.
Gina Yob is the daughter of Chuck Yob, a former Republican National Committee member, and sister of John Yob, founder of Grand Rapids-based GOP political consulting firm Strategic National Campaigning Management LLC.
She was the finance director for Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga's congressional campaign in 2011 and 2012; senior counsel for Lansing-based GOP political consulting firm The Sterling Corp.; and chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Brian Calley in 2008 and 2009 when he was a state representative.
Shred tech
During the Blubox shredding process, the pieces are cut completely flat so they can't hold mercury in the curled corners that are often produced with other shredding processes.
The company has a contract with the Land of Lincoln Goodwill in Illinois to process its electronics donations. It also provides recycling in the private and public sector.
Land of Lincoln — which serves 33 counties in Illinois and four in Indiana — was recycling about 1 million pounds of electronics per year, Gina Yob said, adding that the 3S contract will allow it to recycle about 3 million pounds per year.
According to data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there were 3.42 million tons of consumer electronics recycled in 2012, and 3.41 million in 2011.
Last year, the 67 companies registered with the state's Michigan Electronics Takeback Program, which was started in 2009, recycled more than 30 million pounds of e-waste, according to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Samsung, Hewlett-Packard, LG Electronics, Best Buy and Dell were the top electronics recyclers, with each recycling more than 3 million pounds in 2013, according to the DEQ.
Job hazard
"The 3S system proposes to process these electronic wastes in an innovative way that eliminates or minimizes those hazards," he said. "We are still evaluating the technical aspects of the system at this time. If in fact it does what it purports, it is a very exciting process. No doubt about it."
Nathan Zack, president of Warren-based Great Lakes Electronics Corp., which recycles electronics and also has locations in Sterling Heights, Pontiac and Melvindale, said there is a need for more electronics recycling companies as long as they have the right certifications like ISO 14001 or R2. R2 stands for Responsible Recycling Practices and is one of two EPA-accredited certification standards along with e-Stewards.
"That's really the main thing," Zack said. "If they are not R2 (or e-Stewards-certified), they are not doing things properly. If they are able to adhere to it and get the certification, they are doing things the right way."
Jeff McKeen, general manager of the Southeast Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority, said SOCRRA recycles electronics with Vintage Tech LLC, a Romeoville, Ill.-based company with a 26,000-square-foot plant in Canton Township. However, they only do "some rudimentary recycling" of electronics there. SOCRRA has 12 member communities — Berkley, Beverly Hills, Birmingham, Clawson, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak and Troy — that have a combined population of 283,000 and total area of 75 square miles.
"If they (3S) are going to put in a full-fledged recycling facility, that would be great for the area," McKeen said.

Also worth noting the 3rd year of West's deal is a player option. Can't see him not picking that up though.

Also worth noting the 3rd year of West's deal is a player option. Can't see him not picking that up though.
Pretty sure every team in the league wants Roy.
Pretty much. I was reading a Heat board and a fan of another team (I think Spurs but I'm not sure) asked this question:
Here's an answer to that:I'm always interested in figuring out the value of players.
Let's say an owner of an average NBA team approached the Heat with a trade request for Lebron. They were willing to trade as many first round picks as necessary to get Lebron. As an example they were willing to trade their 1st round picks from 2014-2024 for Lebron.
How many first round picks would it take you to ship Lebron out?
For purposes of this hypothetical imagine such a trade was allowed under league rules.
Another poster said that he'd only do it if it was for Durant + Westbrook.None. You don't trade the best player in the NBA for draft picks, you're giving up on the dynasty for draft picks. If LeBron demanded a trade, then I'd ship him out to Indiana for Paul George, Roy Hibbert, and a couple of 1st round picks.
It doesn't mean anything, of course. I was just glad to see how widely respect PG and Roy are.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I hope to gawd that we would not even consider trading PG & Roy for that 29 year old carpet-bager!
Personally, I would not trade PG straight up for LaBrag!
+ Picks AND Roy??? faggetaboutit!
I meant 3 years before he hits 20 mil., but yes year after next we need to plan on paying Roy more then we will be PG. This is why Larry needs to draw a reasonable line at what he's willing to pay Lance. I guess we can't extend Roy next year to a 30% max deal can we? I'd think he'd have to opt out first before that could happen?
I just don't get why the Knicks would even want Rondo. It's not like Melo will ever let him have the ball.
I hope they do get rondo to play with melo they'll kill each other
Roy and George yes, Lance though is a luxury. Keeping him long term would be a good thing, but not necessary. Long term, finding a West replacement is more important than keeping Lance.
EXACTLY... just like PG was gong to go to LA in a few? The NBA is the biggest problem here. They "encourage" the stud's going to the BIG MARKETS. And it is sad.
Teams need to be marketed, NOT players. Lakers, Celtics.. Pistons, Bulls.. Pacers, Knicks, Pacers, Bulls....
Not Mello vs Kobe.... sigh
West is on his last leg. and great PF's will not come cheap. Lance is YOUNG, ... he PG, and Roy are a FANTASTIC base for the future.
"Want doesn't get."
The Knicks are free to want anyone they please... but I think most players look at that organization's weapons-grade stupidity and run the other way. The Knicks are only going to get guys that they overpay... and none of the guys on that list are going to be overpaid, because almost all of them are worthy of the max.
I'd love for them to sign Dwyane Wade though... not that I want him to get hurt, but I'd love if he couldn't stay healthy and just rotted away on their salary cap for three or four years.
Ik money speaks, but the big advantage Indy has is we have Bird. Bird has been a huge inspiration to Lance, and I think if Lance stays, which he likely will, will have a lot to do with Bird being here.
I want Roy. no homo
I am going to have to side with the people saying Lance is a must keep. Him, George and Hibbert make us contenders every year. We could replace Hill and West and still be contenders. Although I doubt we would be favorites.
That's right. I love this team and Hill and West are very good players. I have no complaints about the Pacers. Still Lance, Paul and Roy are the key players that this franchise needs to hang onto. We would still be a very good team without Hill and West which is amazing. But if we lost Paul, Lance or Roy we may not be contending.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Don't get me wrong I want Lance at a reasonable price but I don't think Larry feels the same way about Lance as he does PG and Roy when you read his recent quote and I agree. As much as he's improved he'll never be as important to the team's success as Roy or PG. You could plug in the right MLE player for Lance and still contend. You can't do that for Roy.
Best case scenario:
We win the next two championships and Herb is willing to go into the luxury tax because we are making an absurd amount of money, AND role players are willing to take lesser deals to ring-chase here. That will help us keep everyone.

'"We did a good job, we got out of the zone, but we don't get the puck deep. Those little plays have turned into big plays. All the little plays on the ice, all the little detail plays that turned into goals for us that we worked hard, that our defense got up and made some good plays, they are wiped out by the poor plays we made defensively."'

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Students in Southfield will show up to different looking classrooms this fall.
Thursday afternoon Southfield Public Schools released details on changes it's making to high school classes including creating single-gender classes for many students.
Southfield Public Schools superintendent Dr. Wanda Cook-Robinson said the research backs up what they're doing.
"The research shows that when girls and boys are separated, they each tend to have higher achievement," said Dr. Wanda Cook-Robinson.
Three of Southfield's four high schools will pilot the gender-specific classes come September.
Southfield High School, and Southfield Lathrup High School will start ninth graders in gender separate core classes while Southfield Regional Academic Center will have separate core classes in eighth, ninth and 10th grades.
Students already attending a high school in Southfield seem to like the idea, but not necessarily for all grade levels.
"Girls, I want to say for most guys, can be a distraction, so I think that the gender isolation is actually helpful," said student Michael Washington.
"Definitely in the ninth grade, you might be a little hesitant if there are males in the class, you know, just being a girl, but I'm sure after a few years you definitely get used to it," said student Shannon Palmer.
"Girls can be a distraction but I also think they can also be a pro in some situations. More specifically in discussion based classes because you want to bring in all perspectives in a discussion based classes, so that's usually particularly history and English," said student Austin Little.
Southfield High School and Southfield Lathrup High School will also sequester ninth graders from the upper classes for the first year of high school to help with the transition.
"If you were to bring your high school child to our district, we would talk with you about your child, look at your child's needs and then we would decide which of those four settings would be best," said Dr. Wanda Cook-Robinson.
The district said three of the secondary education facilities will also be introducing eighth graders into high school experience, and there will be special mentoring programs.
If these changes work, they could be expanded into other grade levels.

Birbal the Wise - VIISituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
One night, Emperor Akbar dreamt that he had lost all his teeth, except one.
The next morning he invited all the astrologers of his kingdom to interpret this dream. Birbal hadn't come that morning to the court.
After a long discussion, the astrologers prophesized that all his relatives would die before him.
Akbar was very upset by this interpretation, and so sent away all the astrologers without any reward.
Later that day, Birbal entered the court. Akbar related his dream and asked him to interpret it. After thinking for a while, Birbal gave a reply which pleased the emperor, so he rewarded Birbal handsomely.
What was Birbal's reply?
AnswerBirbal was an optimist in addition to being a witty and intelligent courtier. While the astrologers thought only of the negative possibility while interpreting the dream, Birbal actually found a more positive and diplomatic answer.
Birbal replied that the Emperor would live a longer & more fulfilled life than any of his relatives.

A MAJOR shake-up of the North Wales health system could see key services moved to different hospitals and dispersed into the community.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board bosses will be presented with a number of options for the future of health services across the region in July, when they will make a final decision on the layout and of services at a meeting in Wrexham Maelor hospital.
The options up for consideration will include several changes to departments and services aimed at cutting costs and providing a more "cohesive" healthcare network.
Either way, Ysbyty Gwynedd, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor will each provide and specialise in different services, rather than the more uniform offering currently seen across all the hospitals.
Medical Director Matt Makin said: "We are going to keep three hospitals open, and three front doors (A&E departments) open.
"What you see behind those front doors won't necessarily be the same in those hospitals in terms of ongoing care.
"We can't dodge the finance question. We will have to make some difficult decisions.
"But this is all about improving outcomes for patients."
The proposals, part of continuing "iterative" process of improvements, will cover all aspects of health care, broken into four categories: general medical and surgical; planned care; maternity, paediatric and neonatal care; and acute mental health.
Health bosses want to see more people treated at home and in residential homes, and see specialist services, like particular types of surgery, specialised at one site.
Patients with complex conditions will still need to travel out of the region for specialist care.
He added: "When it comes to some services, we are spread too thinly.
"It would be better to provide specialised services in sites that people may have to drive a little bit further to reach, but the outcome will be better for the patient.
"In terms of things like end of life care, most people say they would like to spend their last weeks or days somewhere they are more familiar with.
"But often people will get put into busy wards, looked after people they are not familiar with.
"That's where we're looking at spending more money in district nursing schemes and enabling people to receive care in the community."
A health board spokesperson said: "We will continue to provide as much healthcare as possible close to patients' homes."

Topic: Chronic hives
My hives have been around now for about 18 weeks. I have been to an allergist, dermatologist, immunologist, primary care and rheumatologist . We have ruled out vasculitis, mast cell disease, celiac disease, thyroid disease and I can't remember what else. My blood work does indicate that my hives are caused from my autoimmune system and not foods. They did say that foods could trigger a reaction though. Antihistamines are not working so the next drugs to try are in the immune suppressant category but they don't recommend them for me because I have ICC.
Any other suggestions?

The votes came in and the Super PAC supporting Manti Te'o called it a breakthrough. A defensive player almost won the Heisman!
The partygoers should feel like a Mitt Romney supporter on election night. For all the happy spin, the sobering fact is if Te'o couldn't win the Heisman, no defensive player ever will again.
Well, you never say never. A perfect defensive candidate could always come along.
He would have to play for a preeminent program that's on TV every week. His team would have to be unbeaten and ranked No. 1.
He would have to be the best player and provide a couple of Heisman Moments. Like leading the charge on a last-ditch goal-line stand.
He would need to be team captain and an academic All-American. Not to be crass, but it would help if he had a tear-jerking personal story. Like a girlfriend and grandmother dying in the same week.
And it never hurts to have a catchy name. Maybe something that sounds like a nice Hawaiian cocktail.
Roll all those things into one player and you might have a campaign so impeccable, there's no way the electorate could vote him down.
Will such a candidate ever come along?
Okay, enough sarcasm. And this is not a knock on Johnny Manziel. He deserved the trophy as much as Te'o. I wanted to vote for both of them, but I don't live in Palm Beach County.
I ended up voting for Te'o because he's a defensive player and I'm a sap. I'd read about a letter of support Te'o wrote to some parents whose child had died of cancer. Te'o didn't do it for publicity, but the story got out.
I suspect Te'o did a lot of things like that. So did Romney, and we saw where that got him. As Te'o noted, there's a reason the Heisman pose is a stiff arm. It's an offensive move, so only offensive players win.
The fact a freshman like Manziel won doesn't represent a sea change in electorate mentality. Voters showed they weren't age biased five years ago when Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win.
They'd have been open to a freshman candidate before now, but none came along to truly capture voters' attention. Make that a freshman candidate who passed or ran the ball for a living.
It certainly didn't matter that Te'o was the first player to win the Nagurski, Butkus, Bednarik, Lombardi, Lott, Maxwell and Walter Camp awards.
It doesn't matter that Te'o's 321 first-place votes and 1,706 points were the most for a defensive player. This year's contest was like the Republican primaries.
Matt Barkley turned into Rick Perry. Geno Smith was Herman Cain. Collin Klein was Newt Gingrich. All looked great for a while then crashed.
In such a diluted year, somebody had to get the votes. Come election day, there were only two viable choices. The weak field helped Jarvis Jones and Jadeveon Clowney get into the top 10, but don't interpret that as a trend.
When Pitt linebacker Hugh Green finished second in 1980, UCLA safety Kenny Easley finished ninth. People thought that was a breakthrough, but no defensive player made a run for 17 years.
Charles Woodson made history that year, though his win comes with that all-purpose asterisk. When it comes inclusion, the Heisman is Augusta National and pure defensive players are, well, women.
Wait, we can't even make that crack any more. Augusta National now has two female members. At this rate, a female quarterback will win the Heisman before a male defender does.
"I just felt that burn," Te'o said when the results were announced. "I can't really describe it. It's that burn to say, 'Hey, you just have to get better.' "
Yeah, maybe he could have been player-coach, won a Nobel prize and cured cancer. For a defender, it will never get better than this year.
All the stars were aligned. But in the end, we looked up and saw the same old constellation.
The Big Stiff Arm.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Years ago when my uncle died his tombstone included the likeness of a basketball goal and a ball with the University of Kentucky logo on it.
These days I wish their places were reversed: Uncle John here and local college basketball put to rest.
I grew up in this area and have always been a basketball fan. I used to play it. I keep the March Madness grids each year.
Now I think I've actually had enough.
I followed all three of the area's major schools: Kentucky, Louisville and Indiana. I've always rooted for all three.
