A May 31, 2014 article in the New York Times included this:
"There is the Denver man who, hours after buying a package of marijuana-infused Karma Kandy from one of Colorado's new recreational marijuana shops, began raving about the end of the world and then pulled a handgun from the family safe and killed his wife, the authorities say. Some hospital officials say they are treating growing numbers of children and adults sickened by potent doses of edible marijuana. Sheriffs in neighboring states complain about stoned drivers streaming out of Colorado and through their towns.
"I think, by any measure, the experience of Colorado has not been a good one unless you're in the marijuana business," said Kevin A. Sabet, executive director of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization. "We've seen lives damaged. We've seen deaths directly attributed to marijuana legalization. We've seen marijuana slipping through Colorado's borders. We've seen marijuana getting into the hands of kids.""
Many years ago, James Patrick and Robert Plant wrote that Led Zeppelin song about "Going to California":
"Smoked my stuff… Going to California with an aching in my heart."
A French study, the results of which were published earlier this year in the "Journal of the American Heart Association," appears to signal that we need to worry about something more than overdosing on marijuana candies, and maybe even the end of the world: It appears marijuana use may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly in younger adults, with fatal consequences.
A review of reports made to the French Addictovigilance Network between 2006 and 2010 indicated that almost 2% of reported events associated with marijuana use concerned cardiovascular complications. Interestingly, the average age of the patients with these cardiovascular complications was 34, significantly younger than what you would typically see in a cardiologist's waiting room. And the number of cardiovascular complications tripled over the course of those five years or so of data collection.
The types of cardiovascular complications included acute coronary syndromes (20 of 35 events), including chest pain and myocardial infarction, and heart-rate disorders (two events). Ten patients experienced peripheral vascular events, and three patients experienced cerebral-artery events. These events should not be considered trivial: Nine subjects died of their cardiovascular event (eight from an acute coronary syndrome, and one of a heart-rate related complication). There were, not surprisingly, few other heart disease risk factors in these patients. Thus, vasospasm, which has been linked with cannabis use in experimental settings, could be the culprit here; something in the marijuana may be causing the arteries to constrict. Unfortunately, even a brief constriction can be enough to cut off critical blood flow to the heart or the head, with devastating results.
Many individuals use marijuana to deal with chronic pain and illness. I have written about this in prior blogs. It must be remembered that there is much we do not know about this drug. Just because we don't know, we should not ignore.

The Manhattan Christian College men's basketball team went on the road and picked up two victories over the weekend.
Friday the Crusaders were in Joplin, Missouri to take on Ozark Christian College. This was a match-up of the only teams still undefeated in conference play. The first half was a high octane affair as both teams shot over 45% from the field, and late in the half MCC was able to stretch it out to a 54-41 halftime lead. In the second half the pace slowed a bit and the Crusaders led 61-52, and then Ozark went on a 16-2 run to go up 67-63. From there the game went back and forth, and with about 1:30 remaining Ozark had a 79-77 lead. Lonnie Penner hit a three-pointer that gave MCC a 80-79 lead. The Crusaders then came up with three straight defensive stops and hit free throws to come away with the 85-79 win. Sage Ruis led MCC with 27 points, while Penner added 23. Jack Mitchell pulled down 12 rebounds and Alex Hammack came up with 5 assists and 6 steals.
Saturday's game against Calvary Bible College was a much easier contest as MCC won going away 101-57. MCC shot 61.4% from the field for the game and all twelve players saw significant time. Will Chisam led MCC with a career-high 26 points and 8 rebounds. Josh Camacho chipped in with 12 points and Penner added 10. Michalel Gugel scored his first career field goal and finished with 5 points.
MCC is now 11-7 on the season and 4-0 in Midwest Christian College Conference play. MCC will be back in action on the road next weekend against Central Christian College (Moberly, MO) and St. Louis Christian College.

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard believes Antonio Conte would be a success as manager at Stamford Bridge.
Conte has confirmed he will leave his role as Italy manager after Euro 2016 and the former Juventus tactician is widely expected to move to Chelsea after the conclusion of the tournament in France.
Lampard is currently with MLS outfit New York City, where he plays alongside former Andrea Pirlo.
Pirlo has worked with Conte at both club and international level and Lampard revealed he has quizzed his team-mate about Chelsea's next potential manager, and the 36-year-old Italian has given the Azzurri boss a glowing review.
"I don't know him too well but he's got a great pedigree, a great recent record with Juventus," Lampard told BT Sport.
"I spoke with Andrea Pirlo about him and he has nothing but good words to say about him.
"I think he's hard working, he'll have the players working hard. He has what fans and players like to see – that determination, that will to win.
"It's a difficult job at Chelsea now considering what's happened this year, so we'll see. If it is him, I think he has the pedigree to do it, but the decision has not been made."
It has been claimed Conte has already agreed a three-year deal with Chelsea but as yet those reports remain unconfirmed by either the club or the 46-year-old.

Carrie Poppy has a public post on Facebook that elicited a lot of very funny and apposite comments. I'll share some of the best.
First the post (which started life as a tweet) (should I do that thing where your tweets go to Facebook?) (no, probably not, because I wouldn't do it right):
Me: I don't feel safe in that alley, because people got stabbed there. Them: HAVE YOU COMPARED IT TO EVERY OTHER ALLEY? You're overreacting.
Then some of the best comments. Without authors, in case they prefer it that way. Except Carrie.
If there's one thing the skeptical community taught me, it's that one person's lack of an experience can be accurately extrapolated out to all others.

Polly Sprocket's New Hair-Do - Poem by Sharon Jane Lansbury
Polly Sprocket's life was gloom,
she had to stay in her bedroom.
The reason why she was so glum
emanated from her mum.
Polly Sprocket has straight hair
and Polly Sprocket doesn't care,
however, mother wanted curls;
'Just right' she'd said, 'for little girls.'
Polly cursed her curly head
and so was sent up to her bed!
Her mother would try to cajole her,
but Polly wouldn't wear the roller.
Her mother did suggest a perm,
said Polly, 'No! On that I'm firm!
'Well what about a demi-wave? '
(This simply made her daughter rave!)
At night when Polly was asleep,
into her room Mama would creep,
then rolling up her locks of hair
Polly's mum would leave her there:
But in the morning, what surprise!
Polly's curls bounced in her eyes!
Into the bathroom Polly goes,
to rid them with the shower hose!
'We simply can't go on this way! '
You'd often hear her mother say.
One day in temper, Polly cries:
'We'll have to reach a compromise! '
'We can't do that! ' Her mother said:
'You want straight, me curls instead! '
Polly Sprocket sought a plan
and wished that she'd been born a man!
And then an idea came to Polly!
It made her feel extremely jolly!
To the hairdresser Polly went
and nearly all her savings spent:
Upon a hair do, it wasn't bad,
although the stylist thought her mad:
Polly thought her idea great:
One half curly, the other straight!

Nintendo is releasing a new family-oriented quiz game for the Wii in Japan that potentially has a never ending selection of data to draw upon.
The game is called And Kensaku, and gets players to guess which search terms are most popular. To make it a little more interesting, the guessing is wrapped up in different game types such as a quiz show, bomb game, or running challenge.
The data supplied on the disc for the challenges is pulled from Google search results. But it isn't limited to just what's on the disc. Using the Wii's WiFi connection new Google search data can be downloaded. Essentially, if you like the game, you can keep updating the challenges regularly so it doesn't get predictable.
It's unlikely And Kensaku will get a release outside of Japan. Those interested, and fluent in Japanese, can pick it up on April 29th for $52.

Matthew's Opinion
Is this a first in a console game? Using data from search results to keep the challenge constantly updated.
I'm surprised no one has thought to do this before, but I suppose it does mean that once you release a game like that there is no opportunity to sell downloadable content, or gives fewer reasons for gamers to buy the next game in the series.
I'm sure there are many ways that data from online services could be used in games now that consoles have WiFi connections. How about using GPS data and population stats as well as search trends?

Country folk have been urged to "use it or lose it" after their lifeline bus service got a temporary stay of execution.
Campaigners are pleading with residents of rural spots like Inskip, Elswick and Great Eccleston to support a new village-hopper over the next four weeks in the hope it will become permanent.
Rural communities between Blackpool and Preston were left high and dry just before Christmas when the previous service lasted just 11 days. But now a Poulton-based coach firm has stepped in with an offer to test the viability of the route for a month and then make a decision on its future.
"We aren't a charity," said Archway Travel boss Michael Archer. "But we will see what happens." His son Sam Archer added: "People have to to support it, but so far the numbers we're getting aren't good."
Archway, who took over the No 80 service from Classic Bus North West, started running between Blackpool and Preston on Monday. They have told passengers they will trial it for a month and, if it is not financially worthwhile, they will give Lancashire County Council 56 days notice of termination.
Coun Phil James, chairman of the Inskip-with-Sowerby Parish Council, said: "Overall we're delighted to have a service again, we're just keeping everything crossed that enough people use it and the operator decides to stick with it.
"It's not perfect because we have fewer buses than we had under the previous company - But in these times we're grateful for what we've got.
"So far some of the buses in a morning and at tea-time have been full up. But others have not been so well-used. All I can say to people is: 'Please support the service or it will disappear again.' It's a clear case of use it or lose it."

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio
Emergancy custody
my daughter was taken from her mother because of her drug abuse in another state and I was given the right to pick her up and bring her back to my home. She is incarserated in the state of ohio now and I currently have all rights to my daughter.I work on the road 9 months out of the year and I have someone to take care of her for me while I'm gone during the week.This care giver needs legal rights to her also for school, medical,dental,and any other reasonable purposes. How can I give her these rights and keep primary custody?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Emergancy custody
Provide the caregiver with a certified copy of the document which established your sole custody. Also provide a Power of Attorney naming the caregiver as your attorney-in-fact for purposes of exercising your parental custody during your absence.
Re: Emergancy custody
Ask the school system what they will require --usually a limited power of attorney to the caregiver will suffice. But it is best to ask and make sure what you do will be effective. A formal guardianship is not likely to be necessary.

Rumble strips on highway a concern for bicyclists
A safety feature on area highways is causing bicyclists some concerns, even though they are among the intended groups being protected.
Rumble strips were placed along Highway 71 north of Park Rapids this past summer and now grace the shoulders and centerline strip of the newly renovated Highway 34 between Park Rapids and Walker.
According to Department of Transportation traffic engineer Bill Pirkl, the 4-foot wide paved shoulders now have an 8-inch wide rumble strip 2 inches off the fog line.
That leaves a good 3 feet of bicycling room on the shoulder and warns motorists they are encroaching on that area.
But on Aug. 16 a St. Louis woman was critically injured when she lost control of her bike on the rumble strips north of Park Rapids on Highway 71. Dana Anderson, 57, was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital's trauma unit in Robbinsdale.
The Enterprise was unable to get an updated condition report on her. She was last listed in "very critical" condition with a head injury.
Her bicycle helmet split open during impact with the pavement, the State Patrol said.
Anderson and her husband were traveling on Highway 71 to Itasca State Park on that morning. They had ridden from Brainerd.
"Rumble strips are installed as a safety measure to warn distracted drivers when they are coming too close to the edge," said DOT spokesperson Karen Bedeau.
"Bill said that in the last 5 years, we've had 13 'run off the road' crashes on this stretch of highway."
The upcoming Headwaters 100 bicycle ride "will include a segment on Highway 71, a designated and signed bicycle route, as well as on several county roads and the Heartland Trail," said organizer Vic Olson.
"Whether riding on a dedicated bike trail, road or highway, bicyclists have to be cautious about any dangers, whether it be a tree branch across the trail or traffic on a highway."
And Olson pointed out rumble strips are not new to the state. Many other highways have imprinted them on the shoulder as a safety precaution, he adds.
It is simply one more thing to pay attention to, Olson said.
"Bicyclists who aren't comfortable riding on Highway 71 on the 75-mile and 100-mile route should take the 45-mile routes, but still being aware of vehicular traffic at all times," he said.
The event is Sept. 24 and attracts hundreds of cyclists.

Farming Talk: Team members pass chartered surveyor exam
Two members of the rural professional team at Halls in Shrewsbury have qualified as chartered surveyors.
Louise Roberts, 23, and Stephen Evans, 25, took the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' Assessment of Professional Competency examination on the same day and both passed.
They joined Halls' expanding rural professional team last year, working under directors Peter Willcock and David Giles and myself, rural professional director Shaun Jones.
Their roles include environmental stewardship, single payment scheme and other Rural Payments Agency-related work, planning and general agricultural agency duties.
Louise, a farmer's daughter from Westbury, near Shrewsbury, graduated from Harper Adams University, Newport with a BSc honours degree in Rural Enterprise and Land Management.
During her studies, she became the first Harper Adams University student in 2007 to be awarded the Bruce Wilson-North Scholarship from the Country Land and Business Association and also won awards from Bidwells, Brown & Co and Savills.
Stephen, a dairy farmer's son from Dudleston, near Ellesmere, joined the professional team after assisting with residential sales and agricultural work at Halls' Whitchurch office.
An Aberystwyth University geography graduate, he completed a post graduate diploma in rural environment and land management at Harper Adams last year.
Louise and Stephen, who both spent work placements with Halls during their university studies, are now working towards becoming full members of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers. They are both active members of Shropshire Federation of Young Farmers Clubs.
Their success is a great credit to their ability because there was a lot of pressure on them, taking the exam within an hour of each other. It's fantastic news for the Rural Professional Department at Halls as the company prepares to move to its new head office early in the new year. Louise and Stephen will be attending a Defra Farm Advice Service information event organised by Halls at Shrewsbury Livestock Centre tomorrow, November 7, when speakers will provide important updates to farmers and landowners.
This free event starts at 7.30pm and is open to anyone interested. Speakers include Defra Farm Advice Service regional representative and dairy farmer Robert Kynaston, Environment Agency officer Helen Cripps, and Country Land and Business Association rural adviser Donna Tavernor.
They will give updates on cross compliance, including cattle movements, TB testing and soil protection reviews, catchment sensitive farming, soils and pesticides, CAP and single farm payment.
David Giles will also give a progress update on Halls' new head office and fine art salerooms at Battlefield.
Shaun Jones is Halls' rural professional director

As the Uptons live out dream, Braves hope it translates to dream season
Even their Braves teammates are eager to see B.J. Upton and Justin Upton interact as brothers and teammates. But the Braves are also eager to see the Uptons help form the foundation of their younger, more athletic and (they hope) even better team.
|B.J. Upton, Justin Upton and Jason Heyward give the Braves one of baseball's most exciting young outfields. (AP)
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- As brothers growing up in Southern California, the Laird boys played baseball. Gerald signed a pro contract. Brandon signed a pro contract.
Gerald made it to the big leagues. Brandon made it to the big leagues.
And once, just once, in a spring training game, they made it into the same game.
"Just to play against him on the same field was a dream," Gerald Laird said Saturday morning.
Then he looked down the row of lockers in the Braves' spring training clubhouse, to the two at the end, labeled "Upton" and "Upton."
"These guys might play together for the rest of their careers," he said.
The Upton brothers might already be tiring of this "brothers playing together" story, but it resonates for a very simple reason.
This isn't just their dream. This is any kid's dream.
|More on MLB
|Related links
The Braves signed B.J. Upton to the largest free-agent contract that they've ever given out. Then they made one of the biggest trades of the winter to land Justin Upton.
A big part of the story was the Braves in transition, getting younger, more athletic, and perhaps more talented all at the same time. Brothers or not, putting the two Uptons into the same outfield as Jason Heyward was going to draw interest.
But it's the brother part of the story that has even their teammates talking.
"I'm anxious to see them interact as brothers," Brian McCann said.
"You can't go to Thanksgiving dinner if you had the second-best year," said Gerald Laird.
The Braves would have taken either Upton without the other. But there are definitely some Braves people who believe that having them together will help get the best out of both.
"A little sibling rivalry never hurt anyone," Chipper Jones said. "I'd love to see one of them get off to a hot start and have the other try to match him. Showcase that unbelievable Upton talent.
"I'd love to see them both get a 30-30 season."
Manager Fredi Gonzalez's initial plan is for Justin Upton to bat third, with B.J. Upton batting fifth. B.J. plays center field, with Justin in left and Heyward in right.
The Uptons and Heyward have already been interacting like they've been together for months or maybe years, rather than just days. In fact, Gonzalez said, that's one thing that has struck him about the Uptons in the early days of camp.
"They don't act like brothers," he said. "They're almost like teammates who have been together for a few years."
That's actually a good description, because the Uptons will remind you that this isn't like two kids being dropped off at the ballpark by Mom and Dad.
They're grown men. They're not staying together. They don't come to the park together. They don't leave together.
"We have separate lives," Justin said. "We're independent people."
They're just living a dream, playing baseball at the highest level with their brother at their side.
"Those two have to consider themselves pretty lucky," Jones said.
They've never been teammates before, not even as kids (except on one summer travel team). B.J. is three years older, so it was David Wright and Ryan Zimmerman -- now his National League East rivals -- who were his teammates growing up.
"[Justin] wasn't old enough to play," B.J. said. "He'd take BP with us, but he wasn't old enough to play on the team."
As they grew up, they watched each other from a distance. B.J. would go home after Rays games and catch as many of Justin's Diamondbacks at-bats as possible on television. Justin would watch B.J. as often as he could before his Arizona games began.
They pushed each other from afar, which is why B.J. said he's not sure they can push each other anymore than that from up close. Justin isn't so sure about that.
"We want each other to do well, but deep down there's always a little silent competition," Justin said. "He's not going to let me outdo him, and I'm not going to let him outdo me."
The Braves can't wait to watch and see.

RICHMOND — West Contra Costa school board Trustee Tony Thurmond announced Monday that he will not seek re-election in November.
The one-term trustee and former Richmond City Councilman said he may pursue another elected office, such as running for state Assembly in 2014. He said he based his decision on a desire to serve both the Oakland community — where he works as a nonprofit director — and the Richmond community, where he lives.
Thurmond's decision not to run extends the filing deadline for new candidates until Wednesday. Incumbent Antonio Medrano is running and challengers Randall Enos and Todd Groves have qualified for the ballot. Robert Studdiford has pulled election papers, but had not yet filed them as of Saturday.

Termatrac Announces T3i Support for Android
Press release date: Feb 12, 2014
BRISBANE, Australia -- Termatrac (www.termatrac.com) announces the release of an Android app which can be used as the display component of a Termatrac T3i, and now ships an Android device with every T3i termite detection unit. The T3i connects to the Android device via Bluetooth, providing sharper and more responsive viewing, and a simpler user interface than the previously supplied PDA.
"The support of the Android is great advancement for the T3i, making best use of rapidly advancing technology. It's a great platform that gives us lots of options for the future " said Chris Curtis, Termatrac General Manager, "Owners of the T3i can also use their own Android devices, whether they be phones or tablets."
The Termatrac T3i has advanced radar technology but also includes thermal and moisture sensors. Radar technology detects the movement of termites, while thermal and moisture sensors detect temperature and moisture differentials indicating the evidence of termites, giving pest control operators and home inspectors more capabilities to do their jobs better and more accurately.
Contact Termatrac for more information at (310) 242 5854.
About Termatrac: Termatrac was founded in Australia in 1990. After conducting research at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, the first hand-held detection radar device was developed. Additional studies and testing continued and the first version of the device was launched in 1999. Termatrac now offers the Termatrac® T3i, the second-generation termite detection device that utilizes radar, thermal and moisture sensors for precise termite detection. More information about Termatrac and the Termatrac T3i is available at www.termatrac.com.

Brynn Hilda is adorable, and I think that Brynn fits well with Liam and Lila.
My second choice would be Willow Hilda.
If you aren't going to stick with the L theme my suggestion would be to stick with the 4 letter theme. Maybe Bryn with one N instead of two?
With her older siblings I also like Lana, as suggested by emnrex.

rear seat suggestions
Hi, I am thinking of getting a rear seat for my jeep and I am looking at this one.
what is yall opinion on this. I have a 1980 CJ5, and I know the original ones didnt fold down. The only reason I am looking at the folding ones, is because I like that it has head rests. Will it even fold in a cj5? It kind of looks like the sides of the seat on the top will hit the rear wheel wells and keep it from folding flat. Am I right? What do yall think? What aftermarket rear seats do yall have in your jeep. I have the bestop trailmax 2 front seats in spice. Id really like to be able to carry 4 folks.
The original rear seat was lost at some point in my jeeps lifetime.
Check your link --
Try this one. Sorry

Chrysler Group LLC led the five largest automakers by U.S. sales in exceeding analysts' estimates for April as the industry's increased production drove expansion in the manufacturing sector.
Chrysler sales climbed 20 percent to 141,165 light vehicles and Toyota Motor Corp.'s deliveries rose 12 percent to 178,044, according to company statements. Those results beat eight analysts' average estimate for increases of 16 percent and 10 percent. General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. said sales declined by less than analysts' estimated.
Stronger demand for automobiles bolstered U.S. manufacturing, which grew in April at the fastest pace in almost a year, according to Institute for Supply Management. The group's factory index climbed to 54.8 last month, the best reading since June. Chrysler and Hyundai Motor Co. both said yesterday they will add shifts at factories later this year.
"We've got ourselves steady, sustainable growth in the market," said Alan Baum, principal of auto-industry forecaster Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Michigan. "The auto industry is going through a little bit different cycle that is obviously helping the overall economy."
Ford deliveries fell 5.1 percent to 179,658 cars and light trucks, and GM sales dropped 8.2 percent to 213,387. The automakers beat analysts' estimates calling for a 5.7 percent decline for Ford and 9 percent decrease for GM.
Some analysts adjust for "selling days," which exclude Sundays and holidays, to compare year-over-year results. April 2012 has three fewer selling days than the year-earlier month did. There's rarely more than a one- or two-day difference. Ford's sales rose 6.8 percent and GM's gained 3.2 percent on a selling-day adjusted basis.
Chrysler, which builds more than half of its vehicles in the U.S., boosted worldwide shipments by 25 percent in the first quarter, the automaker said last week. The company is accelerating the addition of 1,100 jobs and a third crew of workers at a Detroit plant by adding them in November, pulling ahead plans for increasing production in early 2013, Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne said.
Deliveries of Chrysler's 300 sedan more than doubled in April to 7,763, the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based company said today in a statement. Marchionne is counting on the new Dodge Dart compact, which begins production this week, to sustain Chrysler's momentum later this year after 11 straight months of sales gains topping 20 percent.

Warmer lakes produce best walleye action
Someone might have to get out the fat crayon to explain how the weather this spring fits into the overall theory of global warming. Many people are hoping summer will arrive suddenly one day, like flipping an invisible switch, but it hasn't happened yet.
The Bemidji area is at least two weeks behind what is considered normal for this point in the season. The surface temperatures in most of the lakes in the Bemidji area are now in the mid to upper 50s, which is more than 10 degrees cooler than what is expected by the end of the first week in June.
Spottail shiner minnows are just starting to show up in the shallows to spawn in some of the larger area lakes. When a cold front hits like it did this past week, the shiners will drop back out of the shallows and wait for the weather to warm up again.
The first "fish fly" hatches of the season (midges) have started on some lakes, but they too will taper off during cold fronts. The insect hatches can sometimes be seen on sonar, looking like cloudy areas rising up from the bottom.
The lakes with the warmest water continue to have the best walleye action in most instances. Upper Red Lake heads the list of area lakes for walleyes this spring, with good action on Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake, too.
Anglers may find schools of walleyes in Upper Red where most of the fish are over the slot limit. Anglers need to keep moving until they catch a walleye under the protected slot limit of 17-26 inches and then slow down and work over the area to catch more keeper walleyes.
Anglers are using many different presentations for walleyes on Upper Red Lake. A jig and fathead minnow is a good choice on Upper Red for walleyes because anglers will often catch more walleyes below the protected slot on fathead minnows. Anglers also have a better chance for catching crappies with fathead minnows than they would using shiner minnows and jigs.
Crankbaits are another good choice for walleyes in Upper Red, which has a relatively clean bottom, and most of the fish are within easy reach of most crankbaits without using leadcore line or other weights.
Winnibigoshish continues to have a good jig and minnow bite for walleyes. The spotail shiners beginning to show up in the shallows and there have been pockets of walleyes along shoreline structure with either rocks or emergent cabbage in 6-10 feet of water.
Leech Lake is also hot, with good walleye action on the windward shorelines and points. A jig and minnow has been a good choice for smaller walleyes and a live bait rigs with minnows or leeches have been producing some larger fish.
Anglers have also been finding crappies in the shallows in many lakes. The best areas can be old reed beds, cattail edges or cane bogs with a quick dropping edge tight to the shore.
Sunfish and bass like to make their spawning beds in wild rice, but will also use old reed beds or other shallow hard bottomed areas.
Muskie fishing opens Saturday, with anglers facing cool water temperatures and the possibility of muskies in all stages of prespawn, spawn or post spawn on the opener.
There will be some multiple-use situations in the Bemidji area on the muskie opener. There is a walleye tournament on Lake Plantagenet and the FLW Walleye League event held on the Cass Lake Chain on the same day as the muskie opener.
There will also be an FLW Tour event for walleyes on the Cass Lake Chain Sunday through Wednesday. This is the national walleye tour, with $100,000 for first prize, full television coverage and the best walleye anglers from all over the country competing.
There will be a meet and greet the walleye pros at Dondelinger GMC from 5-7 pm on Monday. There will be other events during tournament week and the public is invited each day to the weigh-in hosted by Stony Point Resort on Cass Lake.
Paul A. Nelson runs the Bemidji Area Lakes Guide Service. He can be contacted by calling 218-759-2235.

Good Points
I can't see a better hoover on the market - I love my Dyson Animal. I bought this the moment it came out as my old beloved DC01 had just died after about 10 years. You get used to the weight very quickly - I am now 7 months pregnant and have no problem moving it around the house and up and down stairs.
Bad Points
It is very difficult for me to say anything negative but the only thing I could add if I have to is to make the telescopic wand stretch a little bit further as my top stair can be a bit tricky! Also, if you are really from the planet clean & tidy - as it picks up so much fine dust - it is better to empty the cylinder outside but it is just a press of a button and it all plops out the bottom of the cylinder into the bin - fab! I try to do it whenever I take the rubbish out!
General Comments
The coolest hoover ever - keeps carpets looking like new. My carpets are old and I find I don't even need to get them shampooed as the Dyson does such a fab job. Consistent suction - even after owning mine for a few years now I find the performance is just as good as the day I bought it. Absolutely worth every penny! It picks up every bit of cat hair - my cat has hair over one inch long - she is long haired and black and all my carpets are cream/off white. The cat hair is not a problem to me at all. Another thing, if you inadvertently roll over the cable nothing happens - which I did on my old DC01 many times and repeatedly broke the belt.

Sony's PS Vita Already Doomed? Devs Bailing Out?
Over the last few months, we've watched the number of PlayStation Vita units sold in Japan diminish dramatically. It seemingly started out with a bang, selling 324,859 units in the first week. But then in the second week, the number of sold units took a steep nosedive with a meager 72,479 units. The numbers continued to fall, seeing 42,648 units in the third week and only 8,361 units in the fourth week. But at the same time, Sony said it remained hopeful due to the success of the Nintendo 3DS.
As if those numbers weren't bad enough, the news that the original PSP handheld is still outselling Sony's new portable is the cherry on top. What's more, Japan's Nikkei newspaper reports that Japanese developers are abandoning their Vita projects and choosing to develop for the Nintendo 3DS instead. The news reportedly stems from an anonymous source in the Japanese gaming industry.
"Major Japanese companies are canceling all projects intended for the Vita and are changing development to the 3DS," the source specifically said.
Naturally Sony retaliated, saying that the company sees "extremist quotes" like this one all the time. "I mean, obviously, there is no way anyone could stand in front of a camera and say that all developers are changing focus from one platform to another, no matter what it is," said Scott Rohde, Sony's senior vice president of Worldwide Studios.
He goes on to say that the comment was largely exaggerated, that he knew of numerous third party developers that are currently hammering out titles for the new handheld, and will keep on developing titles for the platform for the foreseeable future. He doesn't even think the comment is pointing to a possible trend.
"You can, whatever -- rewind two years ago," he said. "Every developer you knew was selling -- going towards -- I was going to say 'selling their soul', it almost came out -- to go build games for Zynga and the Facebook platform. And there's another time when you see everyone is going to do smaller iPad games, or iOS games in general. Then it was PS3, it was 360, it's Vita, it's 3DS. It's always, constantly changing. It's not something that concerns me whatsoever."
The PlayStation Vita launches here in the States next week, and already the software reviews are somewhat "meh." Uncharted reigns as the current king with scores ranging from 7.0 to 9.5. Wipeout 2048 also seems to be doing well, as does Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Hotshots Golf. Reality Fighters, Little Deviants, and ModNation Racers: Road Trip are receiving less favorable reviews thus far.
NuclearShadowI think the Vita will do fine when it comes to games, obviously Nintendo is going to be with the vast majority of games like it did when it was the DS vs PSP but the Vita is going to end up with notable exclusive games and a decent library to back it rather than a onslaught of games with good games but they mostly come from obvious franchises to expect while most of the rest will be nothing memorable.
I advise just waiting about a year. Wait till the next holiday season when a bunch of new games will be coming out and there will already be a list of games that are known for their quality. This will also providing it's expensive accessories like the memory cards for less and likely get a bundle deal with the console itself.
digitalzom-bThey need to stop wasting time on these stupid hand-helds, especially Sony since they don't seem to sell well ever. With the path tablets and phones are taking, this type of device is hardly demanded. The marketing is off too, the name is just weird and isn't catchy.
Wish they'd focus on the NG so PC games stop suffering.
Totally. In the UK ( I guess in the US too) people are willing to sign up for two year contacts for a phone that also play games - Why not a console that also does calls. I play games more than I make calls and I can get bluetooth head sets so its not awkward to use as a phone. I'll not carry both and I need a phone.
Why should it be cheaper than a iPod Touch? Also the only thing that the PS Vita doesn't do that smartphones do is calling and texting. Does this account for the price difference? No.
FlayerSlayerFor the PSP, I waited until the early models (heavy, faulty drives, expensive) gave way to thinner units with better screens. Then I picked up a PSP-3000 for half the price at launch and actually had good games available. My plan is the same this time. I will get the PS Vita Slim when there's actually something fun to play on it. Maybe others are waiting too?
billybobserHey, Hey Sony.
I've got an idea.
Make a peripheral for Sony/Ericcson phones. It plugs into the usb, it clamps to the phone, and it gives the phone 4 button and a 4 way digipad. (and you can take it off when you're done, so you're not lugging around a brick that occasionally plays games)
Result: Univeral availability, no need to purchase a 'gaming' phone, mass game developers heading your way, then take your pound of flesh for using your format.
Would probably boost your lacklustre phone sales too.
True, gamers and people into tech know about it. But to the general population, this thing just doesn't exist! I live in the UK and I haven't seen a single advert for it.. and it launches in 5 days!
Sony's very bad lack of marketing will be Vita's downfall. There's 3DS adverts on TV all the time.
As if anyone uses their smart phones as phones anymore.
I honestly have no clue why people are so willing to leash themselves onto 2 year contracts with companies that treat them like trash and charge whatever they feel like. Then again, there's the non 3g model for people like me. All they really need is a VoIP client like Skype to handle calls.
Sony doesn't own CoD to put it on anything. So I agree, you'd be perfect for working at Sony.
It pains me to do it, but I agree with Sony. Some anonymous claims that 3rd party titles are being canceled? Which titles, which companies, any further info to justify the claims? Otherwise it really is just smoke.
That's just on those claims though, Sony is still screwing up majorly. It isn't in the price like you cheapskates want it to be either, it's in the functionality. If you're going to release what is supposed to be a multifunction device, it needs to have those functions out of the box. At release, the Vita should have music, movie, VoIP, messaging, and other popular apps out of the box. It should also have the choice to get your own apps. Otherwise it isn't comparable with any other Android based system. And how many titles are out on the "PS Suite" that's also a selling point here? If it isn't over a hundred, don't even bother calling it a feature. Sony isn't delivering the selling points of the system on release, and that's why they will fail. Sony in general has been run for years on brand name alone, with people buying Sony because they know Sony used to be a good brand. You can only fool people for so long before your reputation is lost, and it's a lot harder to get it back.

There were home runs, lead changes and a seemingly bottomless supply of momentum swings.
Guess you could say the early season FCIAC softball showdown between perennial contender Westhill and defending champion Darien was everything it was supposed to be.
Trailing by one run in the bottom of the fifth, the Vikings scored twice before standout senior pitcher Allison Macari slammed the door over the final two innings as Westhill held on for a 5-4 victory at Allyson Rioux Field in Stamford Friday afternoon.
The Vikings (4-1, 4-0 FCIAC) finished with seven hits, including a game-tying RBI single by the red-hot Tammy Wise off hard-tossing freshman Erika Osherow, who came in relief of Jessica DeMaio with one out in the fifth. Macari then reached on an error -- the only one of the game for the Blue Wave (3-2, 3-1) -- allowing Cassandra Kish to cross the plate with the eventual game-winning run.
"This was a big win for us and the team really picked me up," said Macari, who gave up a two-run single to Darien cleanup hitter Courtney Bell in the first and solo homers to Osherow and Olivia Gozdz in the fifth.
Despite the setback, there were a number of positives for the Blue Wave to take away.
They finished with eight hits against one of the state's best pitchers, and made several sparkling plays in the field -- namely a relay throw from Osherow to Bell to cut down Kish at third, and a perfect throw from Kelly Fahey in center field to gun down Wise at the plate for the final out in the fifth.
"The goal of both of these teams is to make the playoffs and we'd love to see them again," Darien coach Nick DeMaio said. "That's a good team and your have to give them credit. They didn't let up."
Westhill coach Tom Pia fully expects his team to see the Blue Wave again.
Until them, he'll gladly take this win which was highlighted by a three-run first inning -- couresty of a two-run double by Elizabeth Joseph and an RBI single by Jessica Ruffels -- and a gritty performance by Macari, who worked around three errors and then a hit batsman with out in the seventh before consecutive groundouts to seal the outcome.
"In the seventh inning Allison pitched really well," Pia said. "It was a good and fun game. They're a great team, and the thing I liked is that we didn't quit."

Oreo Soft Cookies from Japan – How Do They Hold Up to the American Version?
I love junk food, I love cookies and I love the Japanese culture. It would only make sense that I would love these Oreos from Japan, but how are these different from the ones we have in America? I had to find out for myself.
These ones come individually wrapped which is pretty hand, but are noticeably smaller. These seem to be about the same size of a standard Oreo. Just as soft, these had a slight mint taste, but not overpowering
What got me was that the chocolate wasn't as strong of a chocolate taste as the Oreos we have here. Sure, it's chocolate flavored, but not as sweet. This is the norm' for Japanese snacks.
All in all, they're pretty good, but I'll stick with what we can find on our shelves right here in the good ol' US of A.

Oh, Monday. I really didn't want to see your face this morning. Hopefully a new black tea will perk me up a bit. All the Kusmi bergamot blends have been on my list of things I wanted to try for quite a while now, but I still haven't gotten around to going to the Kusmi store in NYC to buy a sample pack. I was very excited when I saw this surprise sample in my recent swap with Infusin_Susan! Thanks!! This one is interesting because I've tried what are basically several of the components of this tea—Kusmi's Caramel and their Red Fruits—and I love my bergamot/red fruits blend tea from Argentina.
From the steeped tea I get primarily the scent of a red fruits black tea and perhaps a hint of vanilla. There's a brightness that might be the bergamot poking through, but it's not a major player in the aroma. In the sip the flavors come one after another… I feel like I get the bergamot first in the sip, bright and citrusy, then a rich red fruits blend, then a vanilla/caramel flavor that blooms at the end of the sip. They all mix together at the end and leave me with quite a nice flavor. I taste more of the fruits than the vanilla/caramel in this, but the latter do round out the flavor and make it fuller and richer. This tea doesn't knock my socks off but I do really enjoy it, and it confirms the quality of Kusmi's blends.

Cramer: House Passes North Korean Sanctions Legislation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Cramer announced today the U.S. House of Representatives agreed with U.S. Senate amendments to H.R. 757, the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2016. The bill now heads to President Obama for his signature or veto.
The bill expands existing sanctions against North Korea, in particular those related to illegal weapons proliferation, human rights abuses, and other illicit activities. It will authorize the appropriation of $50 million over the 2017-2021 period to assist North Korean refugees and improve broadcasting and access of unfiltered information into the isolated country.
"I am pleased the U.S. Senate saw the wisdom and joined in quickly and decisively passing the U.S. House's North Korean sanctions bill in light of the rogue nation's recent ballistic missile and nuclear tests," said Cramer. "It is unfortunate the Senate does not understand North Korea's behavior is the same activity we are currently seeing in Iran. North Korea's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons, even after signing a similar nuclear deal, foreshadows Iran's future actions. In light of the Senate's failure to stop President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, I hope they will join the House in imposing stiffer economic sanctions on Iran, as well as North Korea."
H.R. 757 originally passed the House on January 12, 2016 by a vote of 418-2. In the 113th Congress, the House passed similar legislation, the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act (H.R. 1771), by voice vote on July 28, 2014.

Atomic Congestion Games on Graphs and Its Applications in Networking
In this paper, the authors introduce and analyze the properties of a class of game, the Atomic Congestion Game on Graphs (ACGG), which is a generalization of the classical congestion game. In particular, the ACGG captures the spatial information which is often ignored in the classical congestion game. This is useful in many networking problems, e.g., wireless networks where interference among the users heavily depend on the spatial information. In an ACGG, a player's payoff for using a resource is a function of the number of players who interact with it and use the same resource. Such spatial information can be captured by a graph.

To Faculty, Staff, and Students:
For those of you returning to campus this week from the winter break: welcome back! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday.
The year ahead promises to be an exciting and rewarding one for UConn. Let me mention just a few of the reasons:
- Our first comprehensive academic plan will be presented this spring – a plan that will guide the University for years to come. A core group of faculty has been working on this project for nearly a year, with broad representation from across the University. This plan is much more than a "to do" list; it is the blueprint that will build the best possible international research university for us – and for future generations. I am so grateful to the faculty members who have made such strong contributions during this process.
- A long-term master plan for the Storrs campus will be completed this year. This too will be an essential roadmap, as our facilities and infrastructure grow and evolve over decades. We must ensure that the campus is built in a truly strategic way with regard to our academic needs, housing, sustainability, way-finding, and architectural excellence. We are the stewards of this precious Connecticut landscape, and it is a responsibility we are honored to have.
- Thanks to Governor Malloy and the General Assembly, BioScience Connecticut will reach the next level of implementation. One aspect of this project, designed to enhance patient care and make UConn one of the most prominent institutions for translational medicine, is our work with key research partners. In 2014, we will celebrate the opening of the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. Our outstanding relationship with Jackson Labs is central to the biomedical sciences, and our goal is to tailor effective genetically-based medical treatments directly to individual patients.
- And of special note from our students: on Feb. 15, the annual HuskyThon 18-hour charitable dance marathon will take place in the Field House. Last year, UConn students raised nearly $350,000 for our key pediatrics partner, the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. This year they are aiming even higher. I am incredibly proud of our students for organizing and participating in this fantastic event to benefit a good cause. I hope to dance with you there!
I also write today to announce three speakers who will appear on campus this semester. All three will appear at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts.
- On March 3, Art Spiegelman, underground cartoonist, author, and New Yorker staff artist, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his brilliant Holocaust narrative Maus, will join us. In 1980, Spiegelman founded RAW, the acclaimed avant-garde comics magazine, with his wife, Françoise Mouly. In 2004, he completed a two-year cycle of broadsheet-sized color comics pages, In the Shadow of No Towers, about Sept. 11. He is without question one of the most compelling and original observers of American culture, someone you will never forget. If you are unfamiliar with his work, you may have seen him elsewhere already: he played himself in an episode of The Simpsons ("Husbands and Knives," Season 19). Tickets will be free.
- On April 9, Richard Dawkins, world-renowned evolutionary biologist, will appear as part of the President's Distinguished Lecture Series. Dawkins held the Charles Simonyi Chair at Oxford University. His first book, The Selfish Gene, was an instant international bestseller, and has become an established classic work of modern evolutionary biology. He is also a well-known proponent of secularism; the stated mission of the Richard Dawkins Foundation is "…to support scientific education, critical thinking, and evidence-based understanding of the natural world in the quest to overcome religious fundamentalism, superstition, intolerance, and human suffering." Tickets will be free.
- Finally, on April 23, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State and Former U.S. Senator from New York, will deliver remarks and participate in a question-and-answer session at the Jorgensen for this year's Edmund Fusco Contemporary Issues Forum.
The program is sponsored by the Fusco family and each year it brings scholars, leaders, and policy-makers to UConn to share their knowledge and perspectives with the community. The event will be open to UConn students, faculty and staff from the Storrs and regional campuses and the School of Law. More information will be available closer to the event date.
I urge you to save the dates for all three speakers.
Please keep finding me with your ideas and suggestions, as you have – with vigor – these past three years! This is what helps us to grow and change as a university community.
Finally: my deepest thanks to our staff, who keep this campus running so well, no matter the weather or where we are on the academic calendar. I could not be more grateful for what you do for our university and for this state.
All the best for a happy and successful semester,
Susan Herbst
University of Connecticut

The After Life
Ehrenhaft's (Drawing a Blank ) offbeat book about three damaged teens on an out-of-control road trip manages to be simultaneously funny and tragic. When their father dies suddenly, twins Kyle and Liz, and half-brother Will (from their father's first marriage and whom the man barely acknowledged) find themselves in a Florida law office watching a DVD. In it, their father not only comically announces, "I'm dead!," but also tells Will he can have $2 million—much less than the twins inherit—if he can drive the man's Volvo from Miami to New York City in 48 hours. (Will's uncle crashed his car—perhaps intentionally—after 9/11, and Will has yet to learn to drive.) As the siblings embark on this bizarre road trip, each works through tricky feelings towards their father and each other. Sociopath Kyle resents Will, Liz wants to help Will, and Will mostly drinks, takes drugs and passes out. The insanity only accelerates: Kyle learns that his business partner is cheating him out of his share from prepdate.com, their prep school dating Web site, unless he can date Liz; Will and Liz take Ecstasy at a party, share a slow dance and kiss; and when the three finally reach New York, they discover their dad has one trick left. Readers will almost certainly feel compelled to finish this surreal trip, even if, at the end, they are nearly as exhausted as the protagonists. Ages 14-up. (Oct.)

text: Just wanted to say: "Happy Thanksgiving to All & Hello!" form a new member. I live in the Northern Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia, so it's not a morning to sit by the smoker with a cold beer...but it was an absolutely stunning sunrise over a hot cup of coffee! Found this sight a week or two ago looking for info on how to smoke successfully. I have been amazed at how much great information there is here, on so many different elements of smoking. From the types of smokers, to meats, to woods, to brines, to rubs...and I feel I've only scratched the surface. You've been a great help so far with both a brisket and the turkey that's getting ready for dinner right now! Although relatively new to smoking, I have two smokers I've acquired since this spring. One is an offset charcoal/wood barrel grill that I love to grill on and smoke with in the summer (read: cold beer time!), the second is a MES 30" electric that I just got two weeks ago (read: not cold beer time!). So far I've enjoyed the benefits of both at various times. So to all: Hi, thanks for a great site, great attitudes, and I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Res18cuE

Foreign minister Uri Rosenthal expects the European Union will on Friday agree to an oil embargo against Syria following the violent crack-down on pro-democracy campaigners, the Volkskrant reports.
'The Netherlands is working towards an EU oil embargo and new EU sanctions. I think they will come into effect tomorrow,' Rosenthal is quoted as saying on Thursday.
The embargo would involve a ban on the import of crude oil and oil products from Syria. In addition, officials are working out a ban on the financing of insurance for oil transports, the paper said. This will also make it difficult for non-EU countries to import Syrian oil.
Sanctions will also be introduced against four people who support president al-Assad's regime financially and three companies, including one bank, the paper said without giving more details.
Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell said it would wait for the final text before making any comment. Earlier this week, Shell Nederland director Dick Benschop told MPs Shell would obey an EU embargo.
