Researchers have shown that survivors of accidents, disaster, and childhood trauma often endure lifelong symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain, fatigue, illness, and harmful "acting out" behaviors. Today, professionals and clients in both the bodywork and the psychotherapeutic fields nationwide are turning to Peter A. Levine's breakthrough Somatic Experiencing® methods to actively overcome these challenges.
In Healing Trauma, Dr. Levine gives you the personal how-to guide for using the theory he first introduced in his highly acclaimed work Waking the Tiger. Join him to discover: how to develop body awareness to "renegotiate" and heal traumas by "revisiting" them rather than reliving them; emergency "first-aid" measures for times of distress; and nature's lessons for uncovering the physiological roots of your emotions.
"Trauma is a fact of life," teaches Peter Levine, "but it doesn't have to be a life sentence." Now, with one fully integrated self-healing tool, he shares his essential methods to address unexplained symptoms of trauma at their source—the body—to return us to the natural state in which we are meant to live
Includes 12 guided Somatic Experiencing® exercises.

- Review for Healing Trauma Review by cindy
This book is incredible, it not only helped me understand what happened to me, it also helped to make and seek out the right people who could assist me in healing from the trauma. This book should be mandatory for anyone who works in a hospital, and for the Police, and Fire Dept personnel who deal with accidents, trauma. I have encountered so many people who didn't understand PTSD, and then tried to tell me that I didn't have it, when others said that I did, and I myself didn't realize how it was affecting my decisions, relationships, and my mental well being until I read this book which is very easy to understand. Dr. Levine not only explains what happens to a person who is traumatized he has lessons on releasing the trauma. I felt so relieved just by the knowledge, for the understanding, everything that I tried to tell people he talked about. This is a must read book, I have had so many people in the medical field tell me they understand this condition when they didn't which is critical in getting the right care.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
1: Cars, Mass, and Momentum
School: Birmingham Covington School, Birmingham, Michigan
eighth grade science
Video: Episode
2, Learning As We Grow. Segment begins approximately 12 minutes
into the program.
Primary Learning Objectives
By participating in the learning activities,
students should be able to:
Learning Activities
Students are pulled into
a scientific experiment by becoming active participants in
setting it up, collecting data on distance, time and speed
of miniature cars as they travel down a sloped ramp, and calculating
momentum. Students learn how to organize and analyze data
as they test a hypothesis identifying the independent and
dependent variables in the experiment.
Learning Theories to Consider
George Mixon reports that
students in his eighth grade science class need
something concrete before they can move to abstract ideas.
He uses their prior knowledge about sledding and snow boarding
to help them connect to collecting data on the distance, time,
and speed of miniature cars. By engaging students in a generally
familiar hands-on-activity they become immediately focused
and are more inclined to take what Mixon refers to as "intellectual
risks." When questioned about the type of graph they
should construct to collect the data, they select the line
graph because it demonstrates continuous data over time --
a concept they learned in seventh grade.
As students test their cars in two different
groups, unplanned barriers impact their experiment. The two
groups are encouraged to try different methods to control
the variables while they collect and organize their data.
Assigning groups allows students to build relationships and
work collaboratively while Mixon observes if students are
flexible with their thought processing while making connections
to new learning.
In this scenario, George
Mixon demonstrates several learning theories. By understanding
his students "mental and physical readiness to receive
new information," Mixon is using the theory of Development
and Learning. He builds
success for his students by engaging in Cognitive
Processing, a learning theory designed to help students process
new information by making connections to prior knowledge.
In this classroom Multiple Intelligences
are tapped as students are encouraged to explore problem solving
by using, for example, their linguistic, logical-mathematical,
and bodily-kinesthetic intellectual strengths. Finally Mixon
demonstrates the theory of Emotions and Learning as he creates a trusting classroom environment by forming
relationships with and among students that encourage risk
Sequenced Writing Assignments:
Reflect on the completed
table and record your reflections about how the theories
intersect or interact. How might your own teaching practices
take advantage of what you see happening in this scenario?

Release: 5693-09
CFTC Seeks Public Comment on a Proposal to Create a Separate Account Class for Customer Positions in Cleared OTC Derivatives
Washington, DC – The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved for publication in the Federal Register a proposal (Proposal) to amend Part 190 of the CFTC regulations to create a sixth and separate account class for OTC derivatives. The new class would include derivatives that a futures commission merchant (FCM) carries for a customer and submits for clearing through a derivatives clearing organization (cleared OTC derivatives). The creation of this class would permit the extension of certain protections in bankruptcy to (i) the positions that customers of an FCM hold in cleared OTC derivatives, and (ii) the collateral that such customers deposit to secure such positions, in the event that the CFTC has not issued an order permitting the positions and collateral pertaining to such account class to be commingled with positions and collateral relating to the domestic futures account class.
Additionally, the Proposal codifies the appropriate allocation of positions and collateral during bankruptcy, in the event that the CFTC does issue an order permitting the commingling of (i) positions and collateral relating to commodity contracts of one account class with (ii) positions and collateral relating to commodity contracts of the domestic futures account class.
The CFTC seeks public comment on the Proposal. The comment file will remain open for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register. Copies may be obtained by contacting the CFTC's Office of the Secretariat, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC 20581, 202-418-5100 or by accessing the CFTC's website, www.cftc.gov. Interested parties may submit their comments via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. All comments received will be promptly posted on the CFTC's website.

The inaugural Great Northwest Wine Competition is in the books, and the results showed a delicious diversity of wines from across the Northwest.
The competition, held at the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River, Ore., drew 791 wines from more than 200 producers in Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho. Sixteen wine professionals tasted the entries over two days. They evaluated all the wines blind, meaning they didn't know who made them, so there were not influenced by anything except the quality of the wines. The results: almost 100 gold medals and several hundred silvers and bronzes -- a great showing by any measurement.
In the next couple of weeks, we will take a closer look at the top red and white wines in the competition, which should give you some ideas on wines you will want to have in your cellar or on your dinner table. This week, we take a look at the top six wines of the competition.
Interestingly, those six wines included three from Washington, two from Oregon and one from British Columbia -- a spread that showed the tremendous talent throughout the Northwest.
The best in show was Zerba Cellars' 2010 Malbec from the Walla Walla Valley. The winery is in Milton-Freewater, Ore., about 15 minutes south of Walla Walla. Zerba uses estate grapes from the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley. The winery's prowess should come as no surprise, as winemaker Doug Nierman's reds have been among the best anywhere for the past half-dozen years.
The top white wine also came from Oregon. Abacela's 2012 Albariño from the Umpqua Valley was a big favorite with the judges. The winery near Roseburg has pioneered this Spanish variety in the Northwest, and its stunning fruit and remarkable acidity caught the attention of the judges. It was a close second for best in show.
The best rosé of the competition also nearly came out on top. It was from Barnard Griffin in Richland. Winemaker Rob Griffin has made a rosé of Sangiovese for several years, and this is the eighth consecutive year it has won a gold medal or better in a professional wine judging. It's a gorgeous dry rosé that has gained near-cult status among Barnard Griffin's customers.
Robert Smasne is a Yakima Valley winemaker who won a startling six gold medals in the competition under three different labels (Smasne Cellars, Northwest Cellars and Upland Estates). His Smasne Cellars 2010 Muscat Ice Wine using grapes from Snipes Mountain in the Yakima Valley was the best dessert wine in this competition.
On the Washington coast, Westport Winery is earning a strong reputation, thanks to the winemaking of young Dana Roberts, who makes no fewer than 33 different wines. His sparkling cranberry wine called Rapture of the Deep captured our judges' attention and earned the best fruit wine. The winery near Aberdeen used fruit grown in bogs on the nearby Cranberry Coast. Even if you don't care for fruit wines, this is one you should consider trying.
And the top sparkling wine came from Bella, a new winery in British Columbia that focuses exclusively on bubbly. Owner/winemaker Jay Drysdale's 2011 sparkling Chardonnay was made in the traditional methods used in Champagne, though he tops his bottle with a crown cap instead of a cork, which makes it a lot easier to open.
It is important to note that Drysdale -- who has worked for years in British Columbia as a chef, wine retailer and government wine evaluator -- was a judge at the Great Northwest Wine Competition. However, he did not judge his own wine, and none of the other judges realized any of his wines were entered.
For complete results of the competition, go to www.greatnorthwestwine.com. Next week, we will look at some of the top red wines of the judging.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Submarine thrillers such as "Run Silent, Run Deep," ''The Hunt for Red October," ''Crimson Tide" and the classic "Das Boot" have long been a cinematic staple. "Phantom," the latest entry in this venerable genre, doesn't exactly rise to the level of its predecessors. Inspired by the true story of the mysterious 1968 sinking of a Russian sub, it's even more claustrophobic than its setting would suggest.
The tense Cold War-era storyline concerns a final voyage undertaken by veteran Soviet captain Demi (Ed Harris), still physically and emotionally scarred by a previous mission that went awry. Although he's previously commanded nuclear subs, he's now put in charge of a dilapidated vessel that's about to be sold to the Chinese navy.
In addition to Demi's regular crew, who include his loyal right-hand man Alex (William Fichtner), several "technicians," led by the mysterious Bruni (David Duchovny), are also aboard. It soon turns out that they're actually KGB agents with orders to take over the sub and — under the cover of a new stealth device called "The Phantom" — fire on a U.S. ship and make it look like it came from the Chinese, thereby starting World War III between Russia's biggest rivals.
The resulting conflict between the vulnerable Demi — he suffers from epilepsy as a result of an injury sustained on his military mishap — and the ruthless Bruni forms the heart of the drama, which offers as much confusing, technical jargon-laden talk as action. The verbiage is fast and furious, only occasionally interrupted by such violent interludes as when Bruni shoots several members of the crew to make a point.
Although the story is told entirely from a Russian perspective, writer/director Todd Robinson disconcertingly employs an all-American cast speaking without accents. The results make it rather hard to suspend disbelief — after all, in "Hunt for Red October," even Sean Connery used an accent to play his Russian character, even if it was the wrong one.
Clearly shot on a low budget, "Phantom" has the look and feel of a gussied-up television movie, reinforced by the presence of a supporting cast that includes such familiar small-screen faces as Sean Patrick Flanery, Lance Henriksen, Johnathon Schaech and Jason Beghe. And while Harris has the world-weary gravitas to make his characterization credible, Duchovny seems utterly miscast as the villainous KKB spy.
Despite the world-changing ramifications inherent to the plot, the results are more tedious than thrilling. And the film makes a serious misstep with its mystical coda that seems more appropriate to an episode of "The Twilight Zone," only minus the portentous narration by Rod Serling.
"Phantom," an RCR Distribution release, is rated R for violence. 97 minutes.
Motion Picture Association of America rating definition for R: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

When he started his tenure as district attorney of the 20th Judicial District of Colorado in 2009, Stan Garnett had not given marijuana a lot of thought.
"The legislature decides what the laws are, and my job is to enforce them," Garnett said during a recent interview. "When I came into office, marijuana was illegal except in certain medical situations, and I inherited a couple of felony cases that my predecessor had filed that were prosecutions for possession of marijuana."
This was at the same time that the Obama administration first indicated it wouldn't interfere with states that legalized medical marijuana, which resulted in a stampede of dispensaries opening in Colorado, which had legalized medical use with the passage of Amendment 20 in 2000 but hadn't codified rules and regulations for dispensary operations.
"We went to trial, cause I'm a big one for going to trial, because I think it's good to get the public and press involved," says Garnett.
"I wasn't paying a lot of attention, and almost immediately juries came back with a not-guilty verdict. Some jurors actually came down afterwards and asked me why I was wasting their time."
So, after studying the issue, in September of 2009 his office announced that it would make marijuana its lowest priority. "Our juries are very pro law-and-order," Garnett said, "and they care a lot about making Boulder County safe. We get great convictions on tough cases. But it was clear to me that they weren't going to convict on marijuana possession. And that kind of thrust me into the statewide debate about how dispensaries fit into Amendment 20. How do we create a legal framework for them?" Garnett became involved in what became House
Bill 1284, which created rules and regulations for medical marijuana growing, processing and distribution. "We all shared the feeling that you need to keep it away from kids," Garnett says. "But can we regulate its distribution, just like other things that are controversial, like pornography or alcohol? But the idea of prohibiting it criminally was unwise, I thought, because it just doesn't work. The criminal justice system only works when the vast majority of the community agrees that what should be against the law is against the law."
Will legalization make his job easier or more difficult?
"I don't think it's gonna change much, to be honest," he says. "Again, the issue is, can we control the distribution of marijuana in a way that's consistent with community values? The regulatory schemes I've seen in Boulder and Denver are going to be pretty effective at controlling the distribution, so I don't think it's going to change much."
He says the black market will be treated like any other illegal expansion of an otherwise legal business.
"I do think, and this is important, that you have to keep things in perspective. When marijuana was totally illegal, we had nothing but the black market. And it was everywhere. So there will still be a black market, but I actually think it's easier to control the black market in communities where it's legalized, because if people are able to buy something legally, they are more likely to do it that way instead of buying from the guy on the street corner. The bottom line is most people want to comply with the law."
Garnett is serious about keeping intoxicated drivers off our roads, and he thinks the legislature-approved, controversial blood-level test is a good start.
"It's a relatively low limit, and it's not a per se like you have with alcohol," he says. "With marijuana, it's a presumption that the jury gets instructed on, but you can take the stand and say, 'I can take my marijuana.' We've developed these per se laws with alcohol. We're not at that point yet with marijuana, and we may never be."
Will legalization make it easier for teenagers to get marijuana?
"I go back and forth on this. When you think of a dispensary, between the security, the IDs that are required and everything else, the idea that those are going to be selling to kids, that's not going to happen."
So where are teenagers getting it?
"A lot of them are getting it from their parents, but I think they've always been getting it from their parents," Garnett says. "It's easier for parents to get marijuana, so in a sense, it will be easier for the kids, though I have not seen evidence of that, and I'm on the governor's school safety task force."
Garnett says he hasn't seen any studies that show significant increases in marijuana use in teenagers after legalization.
"In fact, there are some that are indicating the opposite," he explains. "Kids being what they are, they'll always want to experiment with sex, alcohol and drugs, and there will always be some marijuana use. But we see assaults, sex assaults, that are tied to drinking that we don't see with marijuana."
He doesn't support the marijuana-as-a-gateway-to-harder-drugs argument.
"I think alcohol is much more a gateway drug," Garnett says. "The psychology of drug use is such that I don't know to what extent there are gateway drugs. I haven't seen studies that draw a direct line between marijuana use and cocaine or heroin or methamphetamine, which really are very destructive substances.
But from what I know, and I say this having used none of them, including marijuana, whatever goes on inside a person's mind deciding to move to a harder drug, I don't know that has a lot to do with using marijuana."

NEW YORK (AP) — Irwin Oreskes, a professor emeritus at Hunter College who studied biochemistry and taught laboratory science, has died at age 86.
Oreskes, who suffered a brain hemorrhage after a fall and died on Friday in Manhattan, was a member of the City University of New York doctoral faculty in biochemistry until his retirement from Hunter College in 2003. He was a beloved teacher and mentor to generations of students.
In 1970, Oreskes founded the college's Medical Laboratory Sciences Program, the largest clinical technology program in New York state. That program was one of the building blocks for the School of Health Sciences, which opened in 1974 at the Brookdale Health Science Center. Oreskes served as the school's dean for several years.
Former Hunter College President Paul LeClerc said Oreskes was "one of the single best faculty members I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with."
"He was smart, principled, balanced in his judgments, totally dedicated to the welfare of Hunter College and its students and a source of unfailingly wise counsel to me," said LeClerc, who was Hunter's president from 1988 until 1993.
Oreskes took pride in the economically disadvantaged students, minorities, immigrants and women he mentored and encouraged in their academic and professional careers.
He was a member of the American Association of Immunologists, the American Association for Clinical Chemistry and the American College of Rheumatology. He co-authored the book "Rheumatology for the Health Care Professional."
Much of his scientific research was devoted to the immunology of rheumatoid factor and altered immunoglobulin G in rheumatic diseases.
Oreskes, a 1949 graduate of City College, received a master's degree from Brooklyn College and a doctorate from CUNY. He served in the Army during World War II.
Oreskes believed in the power of scientific thinking and the free public education offered by New York City, said his son Michael Oreskes, senior managing editor at The Associated Press.
"He was a product of that education: an immigrant's kid who learned to be a scientist," Michael Oreskes said. "And he carried on that tradition by building a school at City University that gave immigrants and their kids a path to success in America."
Besides Michael Oreskes, Irwin Oreskes is survived by his wife, Susan Oreskes; his other children, Naomi Oreskes, a science historian, Daniel Oreskes, an actor, and Rebecca Oreskes, a writer and former ranger with the U.S. Forest Service, and five grandchildren.
His funeral will be held on Sunday at Jewish Community Chapel.

Nine CIA operatives, most of which were attached to Marine units, launch a raid into 1951 "neutral" China to destroy a secret jet engine factory. Getting in was the easy part. Getting out becomes a nightmare, as they face not only the enemy, but one of their own who has become a delusional, uncontrolable, pre-historic thinking madman. Should they kill him and leave him behind or follow the Marine Creed, "We bring out our wounded" and risk the loss of the...

Probability, Profiles, and ProofWe almost never know all the facts that we'd like to know, so we are forced to act on generalizations and probabilities. But at the same time, we have a great deal of anxiety about the law's use of generalizations and probabilities, especially when it makes decisions that significantly affect the course of identifiable individual's lives. This is a course in legal epistemology; we will try to figure out how and when the law may rely on generalizations and probabilities, and also when it may not. Topics covered will include: recovery for loss of chance; the law's hostility to merely statistical evidence; the nature of reasonable doubt; and the permissibility of racial and ethnic profiling. The readings will mix judicial decisions about these issues with articles and book excerpts that present philosophical analyses of them.

By Tim McLaughlin
BOSTON (Reuters) - Fidelity Contrafund manager Will Danoff, the biggest active shareholder in Apple Inc, cut his stake in the iPhone maker 12 percent in the first quarter and cited "heightened concern" about increasing competition.
Danoff, whose $92 billion Contrafund has beaten 94 percent of peers over the past 15 years, is considered one of the most savvy stock pickers among mutual fund managers.
"Given our heightened concern surrounding the increased competition Apple was facing, we continued to trim our stake in the company during the period," Danoff said in a first-quarter overview.
Apple's shares have climbed nearly 10 percent in the last week since the company announced it would increase its dividend and share buybacks to $100 billion. On Tuesday, Apple issued $17 billion of bonds, the largest non-bank deal in history, to fund some of the increases.
But the stock remains off 37 percent since hitting an all-time high of $705.07 in late September. Apple's shares were down about $3.90, or nearly 1 percent, at $438.55 in late morning trading on Nasdaq.
Danoff said investors continue to express concern about the company's decreasing profit margins as well as increasing competition from device makers including Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.
He began trimming his Apple stake late last year, but had said he still found the stock to be relatively cheap and remained upbeat about the company's cash generation prowess. In January, for example, Danoff wrote that Apple was generating $1 billion of free cash flow per week, according to a Fidelity Viewpoints interview posted on January 16.
Contrafund owned 10.1 million Apple shares at the end of March, down from 11.56 million at the end of 2012, according to Boston-based Fidelity's latest disclosure.
Danoff was hardly alone in trimming his Apple position. Some 870 institutional investors pared their Apple holdings in the most recent reporting period, while 419 sold off their entire positions, according to Thomson Reuters data. That compared with 254 investors initiating Apple positions and 1,185 adding to existing holdings.
Contrafund held $4.5 billion in Apple stock at the end of March. Its largest holding was a $5.1 billion stake in Google Inc.
Contrafund returned 9.18 percent in the first quarter, underperforming the 10.61 percent advance of the S&P 500 Index. But over the past 15 years, Danoff has outperformed the S&P 500 by 3.3 percentage points per year.
Apple was the fund's largest detractor in the quarter, Danoff said in his overview. Still, he said he continued to believe that smartphones represent one of the most robust product cycles in the tech sector.
He also favors biotech companies, overweighting on Biogen Idec Inc, which is known for its multiple sclerosis drugs. That stock was the fund's single-largest contributor to relative performance during the quarter, rallying more than 30 percent on the approval of Tecfidera, an oral drug used for treating MS, Danoff said in his overview. Contrafund owned $1.7 billion worth of Biogen shares in the first quarter.
Overall, Danoff said he continued to find cheap stocks, particularly in relation to bonds, where blue-chip companies boast free cash flow yields of 5 percent to 7 percent. That is well in excess of the 1.65 percent yield on the 10-year Treasury bond.
Contrafund's largest weighting is in the tech sector, where Danoff is betting on companies that disrupt the software industry with cloud computing offerings. Danoff, for example, owned $610 million worth of Salesforce.com Inc at the end of the quarter.

If you're a runner
Train like a triathlete, Holland said, because if you only run, you'll be forced by injury to switch to swimming and biking to rehabilitate overuse injuries. Swimming is beneficial because "your posture and body weight is horizontal to gravity, so you work many muscles that receive little attention when running or can become weak and prone to injuries, such as the hamstrings, abdominals and low back," said Michele Olson, a professor of exercise physiology at Auburn University at Montgomery, Ala. "Swimming provides a top-notch cardio challenge for heart health; that's important since heart disease risk increases markedly as we age."Runners don't necessarily need to drop their hard training days, said Amby Burfoot, 66, who plans to run the Boston Marathon in April on the 45th anniversary of his 1968 title. Burfoot isn't running as far or as fast, and he needs more recovery time. But he still runs vigorous hill repeats several times a week and alternates running with easy spinning on a recumbent bike. He eliminated his long runs — his longest is a 13-miler versus the 20-milers of his youth. "I still run marathons but don't race them," he said.

Get the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions [ALL] Trailer off WP (75mb)
As Spider-Man, players will experience a wide variety of gameplay and dramatic environments. The Amazing Spider-Man experience delivers innovative web combat and visuals in a world that pays tribute to the classic era of the legendary Super Hero. In contrast, Spider-Man Noir features a cunning and covert depiction of Spider-Man, who utilizes shadows to perform stealth takedowns in a 1930's-influenced, black-and-white cinematic environment.
Penned by acclaimed Marvel comic book writer Dan Slott, the story takes players on a mission to capture the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and scattered across parallel universes. Gamers are challenged to battle fan-favorite villains such as the lethal Kraven and a custom, never-before-seen Noir version of Hammerhead, in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.
- Four Worlds, One Story -- Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions gives gamers four unique universes to explore, each featuring authentic and unique art styles, from the classic pen-and-ink-styled Amazing Spider-Man to the moody, 1930s cinema-influenced Noir.
- The Strength of Four Spider-Men -- Players harness new gameplay mechanics through each costume of Spider-Man: The web-slinging, aerial Amazing Spider-Man delivers sweeping blows and powerful kicks in a world that pays tribute to the classic era of our legendary Super Hero, while the mysterious and stealthy Spider-Man Noir prefers to lurk in the shadows of a 1930s-influenced cinematic environment before unleashing his perilous strength.
- Taking the Traditional Spider-Man Game to the Next Level -- For the first time, Spider-Man can deliver damage up close and personal via a first-person perspective during key moments of battle. Boss-themed levels with new environments, music and pacing, along with a vast new cast of ferocious villains, will engage gamers in a fast-paced action-adventure. Players will take on the world's greatest hunter Kraven in the Amazing universe and, in the service of Norman Osborn (aka "The Goblin"), Hammerhead and his henchmen in the gritty Noir universe.
- Variety for casual and hardcore fans -- Beyond the four vastly different worlds to explore, players will uncover surprises around every corner, including new abilities and multiple costumes and bonuses to unlock.
- Nintendo DS Version -- Griptonite Games brings Shattered Dimensions to life in a unique new way on the Nintendo DS, evolving to new heights the high-octane, well-received gameplay Griptonite is known for. Join Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir and one other Spider-Man as they traverse their side-scrolling worlds, gaining powers as they progress that allow them to explore previously unreachable areas. In addition to different style of gameplay, the DS version of Shattered Dimensions also boasts a unique cast of seven Spider-Man villains, including Electro of the Amazing universe and the first ever appearance of Calypso Noir, who, along with two other boss characters, was created from scratch exclusively for this Nintendo DS game.

Re: Kite trip to Maui
i had a golf bag with no clubs. But i didnt fly Hawaiian, i flew whatever was cheapest.
As for kite size, yeah its suuuper windy out there. All i flew was a 7m. Used my 10 once or twice and not because the 7m wasn't enough. (165lb TT)
have fun!
Re: Kite trip to Maui
Some tips, I go once a year.
Try to park in Kanaha beach park. Lock your car and don't leave valuables in the car. Also don't leave car keys or valuables in your kite bag on the beach. They watch for that. Invest in a cheap water prooof case so you can carry your keys, credit card, license etc. with you. The place is very friendly and non-violent but there is a drug problem in Hawaii so they want your cash or credit cards.
Don't judge the wind by conditions at the beach. It is at least 20 mph more on the water. The beach is in a wind shadow. Getting out is tricky, launch kite over the water then run your a$$ off grab board and body drag until the kite gets steady. Don't try to get in your board until you have done it a couple times. This is not Alameda. Go out, kite and stay out. Coming in and leaving the beach is a nightmare. On the water is epic!!!
Visit coconut grill in Kihei for fish Tacos. Try to kite Kihei if you can too. Visit the waterfalls on road to Hana for a break. Have fun and say Alhoa!
Re: Kite trip to Maui
Flights booked with Hawaiian airlines:
August 29: San Jose, CA (SJC) - Maui - Kahului, HI (OGG)
Returning: September 10, 2013
It was kind of cheap, $437 roundtrip, they'll probably rip me off on the luggage but whatever, I'm going to maui
Thanks everybody for the tips!
Re: Kite trip to Maui

Nuance has acquired Seattle-based startup Swype for something more than $100 million, says a source with knowledge of the deal.
I'm a big fan of Swype, and this is a brilliant acquisition by Nuance. Swype first launched at a TechCrunch conference in 2008. It's software for mobile devices, and helps people input text at far faster speeds than through normal methods. It will soon be on over a hundred million devices.
Nuance already has T9, a predictive text application first developed in the 90s, and T9 competes directly with Swype. Oddly enough, the cofounder of Swype, Cliff Kushler, also founded T9. Check out this CNN article earlier this year on Kushler.
I have no idea how this acquisition affects the existing Nuance T9 product. I assume we'll hear more about that in the future from Nuance.
Sidenote – Swype didn't win the launch competition at the TechCrunch event. They came in second to Yammer. I wrote an article last year on why the best company doesn't always win, even when the judges jump out of their chairs to try it out. From that article:
And like UJAM, Swype stole everyone's hearts. People wanted to try Swype themselves, and you can see all the judges getting up from their seats after the demo to try it themselves. People were jumping up and down in the audience. Etc. Watch it all here.
Swype also had amazing founders, and since TechCrunch50 has gone on to do amazing things. Their software is now being built into tens of millions of mobile handsets a year, and they collect a fee for every install.
But at the time they just weren't far enough along to win the show. Their first big licensing deals were ahead of them, and the judges felt more comfortable with Yammer as the winner. And like UJAM, a lot of audience members were really angry that Swype didn't win it all.
Congratulations to the founders and executives (Mike McSherry, Cliff Kushler, Aaron Sheedy, Loreen Milbrath and Mark Illing), employees and investors (the company has raised just $14 million). I loved this application from the first time I saw it. Hopefully this acquisition will let the team continue to create even better technology to help us with those damned tiny keyboards. If this was a company that I met today for the first time, I'd invest aggressively in it (yes, I know, hindsight, etc. But you know what I mean).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Premium pay TV channel Starz said Monday that it has renewed its agreement to carry movies from Sony Pictures through films hitting theaters in 2021. The deal, which was seen as a must-win for the channel, comes two months after Netflix snatched future Disney movies from Starz.
The deal will extend Sony's relationship with Starz by five years, giving the channel access to major Hollywood releases into the future. Disney movies released in 2016 and beyond will play on Netflix's streaming service instead of Starz.
Analysts speculated that Starz is paying anywhere from $250 million to $400 million per year, an increase from the estimated $200 million it is paying Sony currently.
Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said in a securities filing, "we believe the terms are consistent with other recent agreements between traditional premium TV networks and major Hollywood studios," without elaborating.
The wording suggested Starz was paying more than $200 million annually, but less than $350 million a year, which is what Netflix is estimated to pay Disney.
Netflix isn't considered a "traditional" pay TV network, but its service, at $8 a month, is seen as increasingly competing with premium pay TV channels such as HBO, Showtime and Starz, which cost $15 a month.
Starz had 21 million subscribers as of the end of September. Netflix has 27 million subscribers at the end of 2012.
Both Netflix and Showtime were bidders, according to a person familiar with the matter. Showtime only bid for films made by Screen Gems, the Sony label behind niche fare such as its "Resident Evil" franchise, according to a second person. Both people weren't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A Netflix representative declined to comment.
Last month, Netflix Inc. CEO Reed Hastings told analysts on a conference call he was interested in going after Sony movies. "Our appetite is just like it was for Disney, it's strong," he said. However, he added that "there is no specific piece of content that we must have."
Disney content was seen as more important for Netflix, which is raising the profile of its children's programming and is popular with kids.
In comparison, Sony has put big-budget, popular movies in theaters including "The Amazing Spider Man," ''Zero Dark Thirty" and "Men in Black 3," and has a stronger focus on movies rated PG-13.
The possibility of losing Sony movies was a major risk and would have jeopardized Starz' carriage deals with cable and satellite TV distributors, said Barclays analyst Chris Merwin.
"Had the deal gone to another pay TV network or subscription video on demand provider, it would have put Starz in a very difficult place strategically," he said. Merwin added that it was "very unlikely" that Starz would renew a deal to put its content on Netflix, which expired last year.
He raised his target price on Starz shares to $16 from $15 but kept an "Equal weight" rating.
Janney analyst Tony Wible upgraded Starz to "Neutral" from "Sell" and bumped his estimate on the shares to $16 from $10.50. It remains to be seen how much Starz can offset the higher costs of the deal by raising prices on TV distributors, he noted.
Starz shares rose $1.24, or 7.4 percent, to close at $17.91. Netflix shares fell $3.08, or 1.7 percent, to $177.89. U.S.-traded shares of Sony Corp. shares rose 7 cents to $14.99.

Not too early for garlic
Gail Martinez of Fairhaven Cliffs reports with excitement harvesting the season's first heads of garlic. Planted in fall and well composted, garlic puts its roots down before winter so it's got a head start on the new year's growing season.
The Bay Gardener suggests Martinez must have been out to harvest so soon. Prime harvest time for garlic nor onions is about usually in July, when the foliage dries out. Until then, the bulbs are swelling, he says. Upon full growth, each bulb forms a skin, called a tunic, that helps protect it in storage.

By Julie Collinge
Summer! � Everyone has a different way of deciding when they feel that summer really is just round the corner " regardless of the current temperature and weather forecast. � For me that pivotal moment is when I realize South Shore Conservatory's Evening Under the Stars (EUS) concert series is less than two months away. � Time to start getting ready!
For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of attending an EUS performance, let me give you a brief overview. � For four Saturdays in July, the Conservatory presents a concert in the Jane Carr Amphitheater at the Hingham campus. � It is our very own 'mini-Tanglewood.' � Seating is available inside the pavilion, but many folks prefer to bring chairs, blankets, etc., and picnic on the lawn.
Every year SSC Director of Performance Beth MacLeod Largent puts together the entire Evenings Under the Stars series, featuring some regular favorite acts, together with new offerings for us to enjoy. � This year's performances feature Out of this World with Mozart! with the EUS Festive Orchestra, A Celtic Sojourn, a Billy Joel tribute band front by Jon Abrams, and a spectacular Rodgers and Hart review. � � The new kid on the block this time is the Billy Joel band " I suspect there will be a high degree of singing along that evening, and I know there will be dancing on the lawn!
As an adult student, studying voice and piano at SSC, my first encounter with EUS was singing in the chorus for a concert production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. � That got me hooked, and I immediately started looking for ways to get more involved. � Fast forward a few years to 2017, and I now coordinate the volunteers for these outdoor concerts and several others throughout the year. � I love my band of volunteers; not only do they act as ushers, man the box office, staff the concessions stand and the pre-concert reception bar and generally do all they can to make sure everyone has a good time, but they also turn up early to help decorate the space (yes, we do decorate the trees!) and stay late to tidy up. � The best part is that they never stop smiling! � Just the joy of being surrounded by such positive energy is enough to make sure I attend every show, but in addition, I get to hear great music performed live. � It doesn't get much better than that!
This summer I will once again be singing in the chorus for the Rodgers and Hart review. � What wonderful music! � Doing both volunteering and performing on performance night is 'interesting' to say the least. � Fortunately I have a couple of friends who act as my conscience and make sure that I make it on stage properly dressed and without my 'Volunteer' name tag. � Of course, there is always a first time for the plan to come unglued! � Why not plan to come to the show and see if we get it right?
If you have been part of the EUS family before, I look forward to seeing you again. � If this is your first time, feel free to look me up and say 'hi.' � Any of the volunteers will be able to help you find 'Julie.' � Happy Summer! � Happy EUS!

Recall Details
BMW is recalling 2011 X5 and X6 SAV models for failing to comply with federal safety standards on tire selection and rims. Affected models are equipped with 20-inch wheels, yet the label states the vehicles have 19-inch wheels. This can lead to incorrect tire inflation, which can affect handling and increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will mail the correct labels to the customer or install the label free of charge.

But we can still enjoy those fun flower shapes with a new free motion quilting design! Here is ZAP! Flower:
I've started playing with a new quilt design to combine all of my free motion flower designs with applique. I'm planning to hand applique the quilt blocks because I love having small handwork projects to take with me around the house and when we travel during the holidays.
This has given me an excuse to play with even more Center Fill Designs! Expect to see a lot more flower shapes coming up in the next few weeks.
Now let's learn how to quilt Zap! Flower:
Inspiration - I've been looking back at certain shapes or lines that I don't use very often. Jagged, zig zaggy lines have been used a bit in Jagged Cosmos, Jagged Plain, Matrix Maze and Lightning Bolt, but I don't think I've really pushed the full limits of what they can do!
Difficulty Level - Intermediate. For some reason when I got started free motion quilting I really didn't like straight lines and sharp angles. I found them really distracting and therefor difficult to get into a good quilt flow with.
With time and more practice, I can now quilt these types of designs easily. So definitely try this out and even if it doesn't work easily the first time around, make sure to come back to it after you've quilted a few quilts and see how it feels then.
Design Family - Center Fill. Most flower designs are center fill, which mean they start in the center and work out. Now in my stitched example, I filled the entire 4" block with Zap! Flower, but you don't have to do this.
If you'd like the design to have a more obvious flower shape with the petals very clearly showing off, then don't continue to fill in all the extra lines around the flower. Instead pick another design to fill in the background and the flower will show up much better!
Directional Texture - Center Focused. The weird thing about straight lines and sharp angles is they really flatten out the texture of whatever they are stitched on. That makes this particular flower design a little less showy than Loopy Flower or Layered Flower.
Suggestions for Use - I'm planning on using this flower in the place of a flower applique, but you could also use it in the cornerstones or whole blocks of a quilt. If you want your flower to take up a lot of space, start with a large, quarter sized circle, and then branch out with 10" zigzag petals. That's going to be one space filling flower, no doubt about it!
Back of Zap! Flower
Feel free to use this free motion filler designs in your quilts,
and make sure to tell your friends where you learned it.

Looking to start 2-0 for just second time in six years
LYNCHBURG, Va. (Feb. 11, 2013) – The ETSU women's tennis team takes its 1-0 record to Lynchburg, Va., Tuesday, looking for wins in back-to-back years against Liberty.
ETSU (1-0) began its season two Sundays ago, Feb. 3, with a win at MTSU, 4-1, and could reach 2-0 for just the second time in the last six years if it can defeat Liberty (0-3) in a 1 p.m., matchup on the indoor courts of The Sports Racket. ETSU's only other 2-0 start since 2008 was two years ago, when it began the year with wins against Milligan and Eastern Kentucky.
The Buccaneers will also be looking to defeat Liberty for the second time in as many years. Last season, the two sides met at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center and ETSU won fairly convincingly, 5-2. Then-senior Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) came back from 5-1 down in the second set to win 6-3, 7-5, and freshman Jessica Brumit (Elizabethton, Tenn.) won her third-consecutive singles match in the Lady Bucs' campus opener.
This time around, the Lady Bucs will come at the Flames with senior Antonia Kolovou (Larisa, Greece), juniors Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil), Salma Dahbi (Marrakech, Morocco) Sofia Espana (Mexico City, Mexico) and Larn McShane (Hobart Tasmania, Australia), and freshmen Lyn Yee Choo and Anna Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela). Choo and Gerbasi maintain their Ohio Valley Region doubles ranking of No. 8, and are already 1-0 on the spring season after the matchup with MTSU.
Live stats will be available courtesy of Liberty Athletics. A complete match recap will be available Tuesday night on ETSUBucs.com.

Strange cults, vocal surgery and the quiet man: Inside Microsoft
Mary-Jo Foley on life after Gates
Radio Reg Who'd have thought a bad haircut and rocking backwards and forwards in your chair like a child with ADD could pass as must-have traits? Yet, such was the cult of Bill Gates at Microsoft, company employees adopted these to become more like their boss.
Then there's ballistic Steve Ballmer, shouting so hard at one event his throat later required medical attention.
Into this ego-driven maelstrom steps Ray Ozzie: the quiet man of software, responsible for the hated Lotus Notes, who wants Microsoft to become more like Apple.
Join The Reg as we talk to journalist, author and blogger Mary-Jo Foley to get her take on these characters and life for Microsoft without Gates. We also get into the next version of Windows, how it feels to be a member of the team that delivered Windows Vista, and what's going on with new projects like Red Dog and D.
Why Mary-Jo? She's been reporting on Microsoft for 25 years, just eight less than Microsoft has actually been around.
She's also almost as legendary as Gates in hack circles. From interviewing the fidgety man at Comdex before anyone cared about Microsoft to infiltrating the corporate employees' bus to work each day, Mary-Jo's been scooping journalists and frustrating Microsoft's hated PR machine for more than two decades. She gives her thoughts on this and the future of Microsoft without the man who helped found it in her new book: Microsoft 2.0: how Microsoft plans to stay relevant in the post-Gates era.

Brach's Christmas Nougats
Christmas is filled with classic candies, many that simply aren't found outside of these months.
Brach's Christmas Nougats are classics. The disk shaped, mostly circular candies are wrapped in clear cellophane with green triangles on a red band at the edges where the wrappers are twisted. They're about an inch and a half around. The style highlights the look of the candy, which features a green triangle (Christmas tree) in the center of the white chew. There are little red bands around the edge as well. To make the pattern, the candy is constructed like a giant burrito, the triangular green piece at the center, a little red piece for the "trunk" and then the mass of white nougat is wrapped around that with the strips of red added at the end. Then the whole thing is rolled out into a long rope and sliced to reveal the design.
The base of the candy is called nougat and I admit that there is some egg white in there, but the texture isn't quite nougat as far as I'm concerned. It's not as chewy as a taffy, but not as fluffy as most nougats. So I'm just going to call it a chew.
They're soft and easy to chew, not stringy or particularly sticky but could be considered clingy. They're strongly flavored with peppermint, but it's a clean flavor. The texture is mostly smooth, though there were some grainy bits of sugar now and then. They dissolve pretty quickly, so I found it easy to eat them one after the other. There's a little hint of salt to keep them from tasting far too sweet. They're fresh, most definitely, I'm sure that old ones get tacky and stiff.
I can see why these are a classic for the holidays. They're a little on the bland side for me, not quite enough like true nougats and I didn't care for the aftertaste from the artificial colors. They're quite pretty and easy to share.
They also come in Wintergreen and Cinnamon (I haven't found those in stores).

The World's Top 10 Vertigo-Inducing Attractions
Posted April 3, 2008 by Zak Patten
If you're a traveler like me, your typical vacation will include a trip up to a scenic lookout where you're likely to have the best view of the place you're visiting. And if you're a big wuss like me, as soon as you get to the most scenic vantage point, your knees will start wobbling and you'll grip the handrail with vise-like intensity/strength, thinking, "I could've gotten this view from a postcard in the lobby!" For those of you who like the idea (if not necessarily the reality) of a great view, I've put together the following list of 10 attractions, each of which is extremely nosebleed-friendly.
10. The CN Tower
The CN Tower is 553 meters tall, which is a Canadian way of saying 1,815 feet off the ground. Technically, it's the "tallest free-standing structure on land," but that just means it's not a place where people live or work. Which is just fine by me, because I have absolutely no interest in living or working anyplace higher than my third-floor bedroom or fourth-floor office. The CN Tower was completed in 1973 and is used primarily for TV and radio broadcasts, as well as tourism. Fans of 1940s music will be dismayed to learn that there is no AM antenna on the Tower.
9. The Jungfraujoch Railway Station
What do you get when you cross the Swiss Alps with Europe's love of passenger trains? The Jungfraujoch railway station, which is 11,333 feet above sea level. Okay, that's not much of a joke, but the Swiss aren't known for their sense of humor (kidding!). So once you've made this hair-raising train trip to the top of the world, what can you do besides gorging on Swiss chocolate and fondue? How about checking out an Ice Palace or a ski and snowboard park that's only open in the summer?
8. Mt. Kilimanjaro
For number eight, let's take this a notch higher. It's true that Mt. Kilimanjaro makes the Alps look puny. But with a summit of 19,340 feet, Africa's tallest peak is actually accessible enough for real people to climb, sans oxygen tanks. Of course that's not to say it's an easy task, especially if you're the type who favors the escalator to the stairs.
Floor 5895: Neon hiking gear and ridiculous hats
7. London Eye
Coming back a little closer to earth, the London Eye is essentially a big ol' Ferris wheel. If that doesn't wow you, consider that the 443-foot-tall ride was the tallest of its kind when it opened in 2000. If you want to make your visit more upscale, you can purchase a glass of Champagne for an additional £30. I think I'll pass on the pricey drink. I'll be happy just to hold down my lunch while in one of the pods.
6. Singapore Flyer
With about 100 more vertical feet than the London Eye, The Singapore Flyer took the role of world's highest Ferris wheel when it opened this month. One of the coolest things about the Flyer is its taxi-driver promotion, which currently awards all cabbies a free ride. I guess the idea is they'll be so taken with their trip that they won't be able to stop talking up the attraction to their customers. I'm assuming they're not trying to recruit the drivers to be "pod pilots." Just one warning to those who do take the Flyer: Don't write your name in your cabin. They're not big fans of graffiti in Singapore.
5. The Top of the Rock
The Empire State Building is great, but it's soooo 20th century. For the latest in Big Apple views, you gotta hit the Top of the Rock. The "Rock" in question is Rockefeller Center, and while its 850-foot-high observation deck doesn't reach the Empire State Building's height, , this deck affords a much better view of the ESB than you'll get when you're standing on the building itself. Oh, and our sister site TripAdvisor's users rank the Top of the Rock number one of 1,296 New York City attractions. 'Nuff said.
Hey, is that Tina Fey? Let's not forget her either.
4. La Paz
Just about any spot in La Paz, Bolivia, the world's highest capital city, can make the most grounded person feel as if his head is in the clouds. At 11,942 feet in elevation, La Paz is an attraction in itself. If you go, make sure you're prepared for the altitude. You can take a medicine such as Diamox, or just chew some coca leaves like the locals. La Paz's Museum of the Coca Plant is the place to learn more about the coca leaf and all its interesting uses.

3. The Edge
It might be in Melbourne, Australia, but there is nothing "Down Under" about The Edge, a glass cube that juts out of the Eureka Tower, which at 975 feet is the world's tallest residential building. The worst … er, best part of it all is that The Edge doesn't just sit there like all the other observation decks. No, you get in and it physically moves outward until you're hanging out with nothing between you and a long fall but some chintzy glass panel.
Hello, Hello. I'm at a place called Vertigo.
2. Taipei 101
The Taipei 101 is currently the world's tallest building at a height of 1,670 feet, though the Burj Dubai is set to overtake that record when it officially opens. At that height, I'm really not interested in which one is taller, but rather how the hell I can get down safely. What I think is coolest about the 101 is not just its height, but how big it is relative to the buildings around it. It's as if former NBA big man Manute Bol decided to show up and play pickup hoops with you and your friends. Basically, the Taipei 101 doesn't care about its neighboring skyscrapers—it's going to dunk on their asses.
Manute enlarged to show texture.
1. Insanity, the Ride
Which brings us to number one. Yes, Insanity, the Ride, at Las Vegas' Stratosphere, is not only the most vertigo-inducing attraction in the world, it's probably the most wetting-your-pants/barfing-your-guts-out one as well. The casino-hotel stands 1,149 feet above The Strip, which is what you'll be gaping down at as you are spun at three-Gs by a "massive mechanical arm" extended 64 feet out from the building. I can barely even look at the picture below without feeling queasy.
Serving suggestion, some assembly required, ManuteBucketTM not included.

Film Still, Parke's Castle: Cian de Buitléar D.O.P.
Arrived in the US with an Official Selection for our US premiere of "…for peace…" on the 16th of July at the Stephen J. Buck Theatre, for the New Hope International Film Festival. The film received a really warm reception, and the Nomination for Best Short, we also topped the on-line "audience buzz" during the festival! Have a look at the trailer here:
"…for peace…" was selected for screening at The Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival, Schull, Co. Cork 26-29th May, where we were Honourable Mention Best Experimental Film!
The film was selected for screening in competition (and Nominated Best Irish Short) in the Oscar-affilated Foyle Film Festival 2010, where it screened in late November.
The film's official Irish Premiere was at the Gaiety Cinema, Sligo, on October 22nd, public screening.
Visit the film's website for screenings, awards, cast and crew and production stills.
August, 2010
"…for peace comes dropping slow…" is completed! I want to thank everyone who participated in this production. Each person involved made an essential contribution. Our production team was a "dream team" including Cian de Buitléar (Saving Private Ryan, Blow Dry, The Boxer), our cinematographer, and Tony Kearns, our film editor, with Darren Carr providing documentary and stills photography. Our film's soundtrack was graced by the vocals and fiddle of Seamie O'Dowd. Production manager Tara Lewis and assistants Letty Hill and Arlo Liddy were indispensable. The main light writing was performed by Laura Brennan, Sinead Hawkins, Noelle Keilty, Avril Lahiff, Tara Lewis, Aodan O'Connor, Kathryn Reynolds, Lorcan Strain, Arlo Liddy, all young performing artists who traveled from all over the country to take part. Additionally, local children and participants from Sligo took part in the film including Dualtagh, Bronagh and Aoibhin Holmes and Justin and Gabriel Knecht. The final scene was filmed with over 70 participants, many of whom were from the Yeatsian Legacy and Omagh's Peace III programmes, as well as Sligo Peace and Reconciliation and citizens from the Sligo area. Thank you to all who participated!

A busy schedule of screenings is being confirmed beginning in September, which are posted shortly. We look forward to seeing you then.
June 2010
I'm very happy to announce that we have just concluded the shoot for my short film "…for peace comes dropping slow…" and are beginning post production. This land art / light installation in which scores of participants write a line from Yeats' poetry across the landscape of County Sligo in Northwest Ireland, has been shot on beautiful Red Digital Cinema Cameras.Screening dates are being set in both Sligo and Northern Ireland. This project was filmed with the support of the Yeatsian Legacy Project, delivered by Sligo Arts Service and its partners, and supported by the PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Sligo County Council on behalf of Sligo Peace and Reconciliation Partnership Committee and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government Per Cent For Art Scheme. Thank You!
March 2010
Thank you to the Sligo County Council Arts Office for the initial Bursary that I received to begin the work on "…for peace comes dropping slow…" during 2009 -10. Really appreciated!
I have always loved the the crest used by the Sligo County Council. The wording refers to William Butler Yeats' first performed play by the same name in which one of his young characters says:
"… and their Land of Heart's Desire,
Where beauty has no ebb, decay no flood,
But joy is wisdom, Time an endless song"

Dry conditions have led to extra chances to hunt cow elk in Utah this fall.
Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says Utah's elk herds are doing well. But dry conditions this year have affected plants on the ranges elk rely on in the winter.
To help protect the plants, on Aug. 16, the Utah Wildlife Board approved 1,450 additional cow elk hunting permits for this fall's hunts.
Aoude says the extra permits will allow extra hunters to hunt in northern and eastern Utah.
"Winter ranges in central and southwestern Utah are doing much better," Aoude says. "Additional elk do not need to be taken in those areas at this time."
You can see which units have permits, and the number of permits available for each unit, on the Web at this link.
The list is also available at this link.
Permits on sale Sept. 6
Sept. 6 is the first day you can get a permit. Starting at 8 a.m., you can buy a permit at www.wildlife.utah.gov. Permits also will be available at DWR offices and from more than 300 hunting license agents across Utah.
Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR, says you can have up to two cow elk permits each year.
"If you already have a permit," she says, "this is a great chance to get a second one."
If you already have a cow elk permit, or two cow elk permits – but you'd rather hunt on one of the units that has additional permits – you can surrender your current cow elk permit for a chance to get one of the additional permits.
You must surrender your current cow elk permit before the season the permit was issued for begins. You won't receive a refund for the permit you surrender.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.

BT picks NetApp storage for its cloudy data centres
Comms giant sticks to kit it knows and likes
BT is offering a pay-for-use virtual data centre in the cloud, using NetApp storage, but not its clustering versions of ONTAP.
The storage consists of high-end FAS6080c clusters and it is integrated with servers and networking, so that a Windows app-based server-storage-network virtue data centre (VDC) infrastructure can be set up from one console. It will have a level of resiliency and business continuity built-in. Once the VDC is operational, an existing customer will be able to deploy a virtual server in as little as 15 minutes.
The 6080c cluster comes with iSCSI connectivity, utilising Fibre Channel and SATA drives. There is a NetApp software set, however, based on ONTAP 7.3 rather than ONTAP 8 or ONTAP GX, which both have clustering abilities. Then there is SnapMirror, Multistore, iSCSI, Snaprestore, Snap Vault and Protection Manager, which have all been integrated with BT's own software technology. BT's customers can use these to create a management portal to design, configure and upgrade the system.
The initial infrastructure is based around iSCSI and SATA drives, although Fibre Channel could be introduced to support applications needing higher storage performance.
BT's aim here is to move customers from existing tailored hosting arrangements to a service where they can buy the exact data centre capacity (servers, networking and storage) they require. BT and NetApp say that NetApp kit was chosen because BT is already familiar with it, through being a substantial NetApp customer. BT says it finds NetApp facilities such as "snap-shotting and off-site replication to de-duplication, [means] the storage infrastructure is largely self-managing, needing little in the way of day-to-day support."
Craig Parker, BT Global Services' head of global IT services propositions - an unusual title - said: "The scalability of NetApp hardware and its ease of use enables us to fulfil customer provisioning orders made via VDC's self-service portal in a rapid and cost-effective manner." Cue thanks from NetApp.
Reading between the lines, BT did not want to use an unfamiliar and potentially higher-cost strobe alternative to the NetApp kit it already understood and was happy with. NetApp has an impressive track record supplying service providers entering cloud activities, such as T-Systems. ®
