If you've held off on implementing changes to your organization's health benefits until the Supreme Court rules on the health care reform law, it's time to get busy.
The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including its controversial heart — the "individual mandate" that requires almost all Americans to have health insurance coverage by 2014 or else pay a fine.
The Court's ruling puts to rest for now uncertainty about how health insurers and HR pros who handle health benefits should proceed. A long list of milestones for implementing the ACA were established when the law was enacted in March 2010, and they remain in full force.
"While we expect political debate to continue over health care reform, employers are advised to keep moving forward with implementing ACA and its governing regulations," said Cara Woodson Welch, vice president of public policy at the nonprofit organization WorldatWork.
This year
- Starting Aug. 1, health insurers that don't spend at least 80% of the premiums they collect on health care delivery will have to issue rebate checks to policyholders. Your insurance carrier or broker will know how this ACA requirement will affect your employees.
- For plan years beginning on or after Sept. 23, employers must provide employees with a plain-English "summary of benefits and coverage" (SBC) statement that explains their benefits and defines basic health insurance and medical terms. Your carrier or broker can point you toward government-approved templates and compliance advice.
- Employers must begin planning right away to comply with a requirement to report the value of employees' health benefits on 2012 W-2 tax statements to be distributed early next year. The IRS is still working out the details. Consult your tax advisor to learn your compliance obligations.
Next year's ACA requirements will be relatively easy on employers, with most regulatory attention focused on preparing to set up state insurance exchanges, which are supposed to allow many Americans to buy more affordable health insurance coverage.
The real ACA action begins in 2014, when the individual mandate kicks in and state insurance exchanges go live. That's also when employers begin facing big penalties if they don't offer health insurance.

If this is true, can you talk about the project at all?
Forbidden Planet is my all-time favorite movie, and I would love to see someone (more specifically you) make a modern version that's true to the original. It was cerebral Sci-Fi at a time when Sci-Fi was mostly for kids. Given how Sci-Fi is enjoying a resurgence in the main-stream, now seems like the perfect time to bring this classic about the dangers of the human subconscious mind back into the public eye.

Instagram was one small company, and it was ridiculously over-valued for the $1B purchase. It hardly qualifies as a "sole-heir" to the Kodak "kingdom" as the article implies. Google is only a single company. Add up the jobs created by Google, Microsoft, Facebook (not just the 13 from Instagram), Apple, Samsung, Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc... in the wake of Kodak going under.... It will probably exceed the number of people that Kodak employed.
Look at the LARGER picture. How many Engineering or other such "Skilled" jobs did we have in 1988? Compare that to now? We may have lost manufacturing jobs, but we gained in STEM related jobs during that same time-frame. Kodak's failure was not a consipracy against them. It was typical corporate decay... "Our current products are doing great, why bother putting R&D into this new-fangled stuff" (fast forward 25 years) "Oh shit, that stuff we ignored 25 years ago is huge now... Our bottom line is OK, but lets try to play R&D catch-up..." (fast forward 10 years) "Oh shit, we never caught up... Time to take a 'Golden Parachute' and let the company declare bankruptcy"
Don't blame the Internet, Social Networks, or any other inanimate object for Kodak's failure. Kodak failed because Kodak made too many crucial mistakes and willingly failed to keep up with market changes.

Star prospect ready for Mets close-up

07:12 AM ET 08.19 | Welcome to the big leagues, Travis d'Arnaud. The New York Mets plan to keep the rookie catcher and give him significant playing time even after John Buck returns from paternity leave, major league sources tell FOX Sports. D'Arnaud, 24, made his major league debut on Saturday, the same day the Mets placed Buck, their starting catcher, on the three-day paternity list. The team will need to decide between keeping d'Arnaud or Anthony Recker, its current backup, once Buck returns. The choice, however, already has been made, sources said. And the Mets will not keep a young player such as d'Arnaud in the majors simply to use him off the bench. D'Arnaud, a principal part of the Mets' return from the Toronto Blue Jays for right-hander R.A. Dickey last offseason, will be the primary catcher.
Now where have I seen this headline before ?

if the mets plans included their young prospect,
Then the mets need to allow d'Arnaud to learn the basics
as a catcher in the every day lineup :-) :-)
the only way, d'Arnaud will learn to be a disciplined catcher,
give him the catching spot every day :-) :-)
Lets just hope his hitting is better than his catching ability
i would like this prospect to be a better catcher than a better hitter,
deffense is important as it is offense,except some catchers can do both,,,
should d'Arnaud be able to perform on top tune??
that's going to be a little hard at least in his first part time season,,,,
So far...not so good. And,as usual, the Mets are groping in the dark. Where they have been for a long time...too long. But whatever the issue or player,the Mets are a badly managed team. The latest joke is Terry Collins comment that he knows more than the fans. I would love to have a one on one with him to find out what he knows about evaluating talent,and the science of baseball. And if I were Harvey, I would start searching for a way out of the very challenged Mets organization because he will never reach his star potential with it. Look what happened to Santana.The Mets have lived on hype for far too long. And they will continue to live on it as long as the fans keep buying tickets to watch less than professional baseball. And if you wonder why the Mets keep losing games they should win,just review their failures to get men in scoring position home with no outs. I can tell you for sure that the Mets would be 10 games over .500 right now if only Jimmy Leland was the manager.
That R.A. Dickey trade's looking great, Blue Jays!

Dear friends,
I am happy to say that we are just over the half-way mark of our goal. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who read Mithun's story and decided to lend your generous support for him and his school children. It is indeed wonderful to note the enthusiasm and support shown here and also on Mithun's facebook page for all the good and incredible work he is doing.
With all of your generous help, we have managed to procure a genset that is so vital to the daily running of the school in ensuring we have a constant supply of power. With the constant daily power failures that the village of Nangli faces, it was becoming difficult to conduct classes and now we are pleased to say that we do not face those disruptions anymore.
Last but not least, I'd like to offer my special thanks to Jennifer Koons, whose super story on Mithun in the Huffington Post is what brought wide attention to this remote village where he is doing his incredible work and continues with it. It was Jen who linked up this funding site with her story so people could read about Mithun and decide to offer their help towards his school and children. Again, our very thanks to you!
On behalf of Mithun and the Nangli children, our best wishes to all who have made it possible for us to cross over the half-way mark and continue to lend their support.
Updated posted by Indira Krishnamurti Pradhan 11 months ago
Dear friends and family,
We urgently need to purchase a genset (an electric generator for back up source of power) for Mithun and his children, which is on top of our priority list now. Due to power cuts and extreme temps, it is difficult to survive, let alone run a school. The entire village can go without power for days. More importantly, many of the children also suffer nosebleeds constantly due to the heat wave that has affected areas of northern India, including Punjab with temps upwards of 46 celsius. They have 3 fans, which are of no use now.
These children have never been top priority for the government, especially these kids belonging to poor migrant workers are at the bottom of the heap, totally ignored and relegated to the periphery of a neglected community and treated as pariahs.
Even a few dollars would add up and make a big difference in their lives. So I am urging you all to please donate whatever you wish. Even $5 or$10 would help greatly. It will all add up. I was just made aware of the dire conditions there and hence my appeal to you once again.
A big thanks to all our supporters and the most recent ones too for your generous hearts.

"We at Nangli and Amritsar are having scorching heat conditions and tempratures touched 44-45 degrees, the weather office says that the heat wave will continue. Nangli has no electricity being a non tax payer area, poor area. Most of the electricity is being diverted to agri sector for paddy sowing and tubewells. Three of my poor children had nose bleeds in the last three days . WE have 3 fans but they do not work. We are looking at our friends and supporters to help us BUY A GENSET soon so that kids/ students do not suffer. They are already anaemic and malnourished." Mithun Kumar
Dear friends and family, as you can see above is an urgent appeal from Mithun Kumar regarding the terrible situation that is affecting the children of Nangli.
We would truly appreciate your support at this time for the purchase of a genset, which is on top of our priority list now. Even a few dollars would add up and make a big difference in their lives. So I am urging you all to please donate whatever you wish. Even $5 or$10 would help greatly. I was just made aware of the dire conditions there and hence my appeal to you now. We'd be ever so grateful for your kind consideration and wharever help you can give. Thanking you all.

Fifty-six constrained acetabular components were placed, between April 1988 and February 1993, in fifty-five patients who had had recurrent dislocations (average, six dislocations; range, two to twenty dislocations) of the femoral component after a previous total hip arthroplasty. All patients had additional factors contributing to the instability of the implant, including absence or disruption of the abductor mechanism, poor health, mental retardation, confusion, and Alzheimer disease.One patient was lost to follow-up. The remaining patients were followed clinically for a minimum of three years (average, sixty-four months; range, thirty-seven to ninety-seven months) or until the time of death. During the follow-up interval, only two (4 per cent) of the fifty-five patients had a subsequent dislocation.The use of this type of component should be considered for patients who have recurrent dislocation if other treatment modalities are unlikely to be effective.

Some people are born with the type of mouth that is made for snoring: a thick and low-set soft palate.
To emphasize that role, they were crossed with pugs and some other toy breeds to produce a smaller dog with a dome-shaped head, low-set ears, a much shorter muzzle, and a pushed-up nose.
At last we turned into Wentworths rhododendron-lined entranceway and drove slowly toward what seemed to be a low-set white castle.
It can cause a lot of deformities, like low-set ears, webbing of the neck.
The low-set table in her unassuming third floor flat was laid with home made apple strudel cut finely into stripsandabowl of freshly warmed popcorn that perched appetizingly on the corner.
While he smoked he padded around the yard, singing "American Pie" in a low-set croon.
No bright whirring tunnel or silver-blue mist, just a wave of white noise, a low-set squall coming from an unknown source.
I could see the men in overalls clearing the stands of scrub up ahead, their fires low-set and bluish through the cross-hatching of tree limbs.
She is dwarf-sized but has no other symptoms except for a slightly large head, hands and feet, low-set ears and a fontanelle that won't close.

|Steric Number:
|Lone Pairs:
NOTES: This molecule is made up of 5 sp3d hybrid orbitals. Three orbitals are arranged around the equator of the molecule with bond angles of 120o. Two orbitals are arranged along the vertical axis at 90o from the equatorial orbitals. The shape of the orbitals is trigonal bipyramidal. All three equatorial orbitals contain lone pairs of electrons. The three atom molecule has a linear shape.
An example of linear electron pair and molecular geometry is BeH2. This molecule is electron deficient and does not follow the octet rule because it has only 4 valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms are as far apart as possible if opposite each other at 180o; this is linear geometry.
Beryllium hydride is a solid at room temperature. It does not have any common uses and all beryllium compounds are quite toxic.
In this example, CO2, the Lewis diagram shows carbon at the center with no lone electron pairs. The carbon and and both oxygen are bonded through double bonds which counts as "two electron pairs". Hence the molecule has two electron pairs and is linear. Carbon dioxide is the major product of all combustion reactions involving carbon based materials such as natural gas, gasoline, and coal. Carbon dioxide is the end product of animal/human metabolism/respiration. It is also the gas that provides the carbonation in soda and beer. Carbon dioxide is the major gas implicated in the greenhouse effect or global warming. The gas in the atmosphere acts to trap heat that might otherwise escape from the earth to outer space.
In this example, HCN, the Lewis diagram shows carbon at the center with no lone electron pairs. The carbon and nitrogen are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has two electron pairs and is linear. Hydrogen cyanide is prepared on an industrial scale by the reaction of methane with ammonia in the presence of a platinum catalyst at 1200oC. It boils at 25oC, and thus is a gas a room temperature. HCN is very toxic and will cause death in a matter of minutes if inhaled or ingested.

This is the view in the opposite direction from the previous photo I posted. This is the Waterford winery and was our firstwine tasting stop. Just before coming here we'd been to the Spier winery to interact with the cheetahs at Cheetah Outreach. Our visit to Waterford was a great experience. The building is beautiful. It's definitely got an upscale feel about it, which was interesting as we traipsed through in hiking boots and shirts surrounded by a much smarter looking crowd.
We decided to do the wine and chocolate pairing. This involved 6 wines, 3 of which were paired with custom-made chocolates. One of the chocolates had rock salt in it. It tastes pretty horrible on its own, but paired with the wine it was incredible.

Detention for Parents
This morning on NPR I heard that some upscale day school in Manhattan has started issuing detention slips to parents who bring their children to school late; parents and children then have to serve detention together! This made me smile. After all, parents have no incentive to get their kids to school on time, so this is a consequence for getting them there late. How I wish they had this when I was in high school! Halfway through eleventh grade, my mom divorced my evil stepfather and we moved out of district, so she started driving me to school in the morning. I had to be there at 7:20 for band rehearsal, which meant leaving the house at 7 and, let's just say, that was a bit earlier than my mom was used to getting out the door. I kept telling her that, if I was even a minute late, I would get an hour's worth of detention, but I don't think she quite understood. If she had to serve the detention, however, it may have been a different story...
And I will admit that I don't have much to complain about. After serving detention once, I realized that my school's record-keeping systems were pretty sub par, and that nobody would notice if I never showed up to detention!

Since my office is in Manchester and home is Oxford, Mondays normally start at 4:13am with a drive North to miss the traffic.
I have the luxury of a lie-in today, with a morning client meeting scheduled in London. Presentation to finish on the train for tonight's meeting in Taunton...so my media consumption starts the week pretty empty.
My Manchester crew text me at 9:31am just as I'm entering Starcom MediaVest sixth floor, demanding "where r u?"
We've got three hours to review the May digital performance with our SeaFrance client and agree the plans for the run up to their key summer period.
With train from Paddington to Taunton not until 2:15pm, I call Jon Horrocks at Walker Media to see if he fancies a quick lunch. Swap Weight Watchers progress stories over a bottle of Rosé at Salt Yard on Goodge Street.
Arrive at Holiday Inn, Taunton in time for meeting with regional managing director of Barratt Group.
Present latest econometrics insights and then have dinner with his four sales directors and their teams.
The client then runs a pub quiz for the assembled party. Agency team wins, so "forfeit" requires sponsoring the bar late into the night. Won't go into the details of the pint of Baileys episode.
I've blown my daily Weight Watchers target with 75 points – must do better tomorrow.
No idea where I am when Apple Marimba ringtone permeates a very dark room. Discover at check-out that my client has picked up my room bill – what a pleasant surprise.
Train back to London (thumb through the Times, whilst getting presentations for later in the week sorted) to meet at the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall with the editor and managing director of property website Property Drum.
We discuss proposals for my presentation slot at their annual property conference in September (I was recommended to them by Mark Milner at The Digital Property Group).
Then follows a conference call for an hour with Barratt Group marketing client, before lunch with James Wildman and Steve Brown at Hawksmoor Seven Dials with MediaVest managing director Elliot Muscant.
Old school lunch with lashings of Porterhouse and Red (Alc 14.5 vol). Have a very funny time going over March's Altitude Conference spent with Yahoo in Chamonix.
Train back to Oxford in time for youngest daughter's (15) annual sports review at Headington School.
Finally catch up with saint Cheryl's 'X Factor' news from America with News at 10.
Sixty-six points today – not good.
Train back to London at 7am to get over to Mansion House for 9:30am meeting with Skandia head of marketing. We do all their search engine marketing and the new website is performing well.
Meeting is over at 10:30am, then it's a short stroll in beautiful sunshine to St Bride's Church in Fleet Street to attend the memorial service for Peter Howard-William (the former managing director of Rank Screen Advertising and Pearl & Dean).
Truly the great and godly from 30 years in advertising and media have turned out for "Mr Cinema," including all my old bosses John Perriss and Alec Kenny from the Saatchi & Saatchi days, Stephen White and Jonathan Durden formerly of WCRS, Ray Kelly from Carat and too many more to mention.
After the service we go downstairs to The Press Club to raise a glass to Peter.
On to Oxford Circus for a catch up with Jeremy Hipkiss, head of marketing and sales at Barratt Group.
Decide to sit outside in the sunshine at Carluccio's opposite his office.
Back to Publicis in Baker Street to catch end of the regular monthly internal meeting with assembled ranks of account handlers who look after Barratt's 26 companies around the UK.
Back on track today and within guideline daily points.
Tracksuit on at 4:13am. Thermos mug of tea and banana and on the road at 4:25am.
Catch up with the world with 'Wake up to Money' and 'Today' programmes interspersed with station flicking up to Birmingham and beyond.
Arrive in Manchester at 7am. Straight into The Midland Hotel gym for a two-mile treadmill run – I hate running.
Then a morning of new business meetings. Meeting with Chris Bunniss (previously European marketing director at SSL – a client prior to the purchase by Reckitt Benckiser) and a very clever creative technologist, Jim Brooks. We'll be doing some work together.
Straight into next meeting with the young drummer of the year in 2005 who now has his own group, Madison. We're discussing a new business venture of his, and how MediaVest might be able to be involved.
This is followed by an afternoon spent in internal meetings with Dave Lucas, MediaVest managing partner and commercial director Tony Blease.
Leave the office at 6pm and head to Trafford for a golf lesson, then on to Warrington for an hour with my personal trainer.
Back to Old Trafford and gatecrash the end of the North West How-Do Awards 2011 ceremony. Crash at our company flat in Manchester – no idea of what time we got back.
Lack of food today kept the points in check.
Off to Greater Manchester for a 9am meeting with a new business prospect. She confirms we're on the pitch in June – fantastic news.
Back to Manchester office to see my teams, who haven't seen me all week, and for meetings with ITV and Sky.
Leave the office at 4pm for three-hour trek down to Oxford. Annoyingly the M6 is jammed with bank holiday traffic.
Dinner with my daughter (20) in Oxford who's just passed her second year university exams.
Start a conversation with an artist at the next table who creates pen and ink, watercolour washes of well known city street-scapes.
He needs some help with e-tailing. We swap contact details and he leaves me a pile of his illustrations. Maybe a pro-bono opportunity?
Early start in the morning as playing golf in Gloucestershire with Mike Cooper, CEO of PHD Network.
Weigh-in on Sunday – expect two pounds gained.

|An Award Much Deserved
As Dave Kile has pointed out before, PAFF has some really skilled anglers, and this event was further proof of this. Dave Rothrock, a certified FFF casting instructor, was kind enough to provide his impressive teaching skills to his fellow PAFF members free of charge at this event. To all who attended, I hope each of you took something with you that will improve your skill level, and enable you to catch more fish.
PAFF has grown exponentially over the years. We've come a long way from the old "continuous threads" format of the old forum, but the heart and soul of the forum is still the incredibly talented membership of this forum. Kudos to Dave Kile for providing us with such a great resource!
This event was an informal get-together to share some of the wealth of knowledge that exists on the board and with its members. As Afish stated, it was just something some of the members came up with to promote good will and camaraderie amongst our fellow board members. A common thought that was expressed throughout the evening was a sense of regret people had for not being able to attend the "official" PAFF Jamboree. Events like these provide a way for us to get together and share skills and good times without having to make a multi day commitment in time that many just can't do. Look for more of these "Mini Jams" in the future!
On a personal note, I was surprised that we didn't have any beginners attend this event. It was a perfect opportunity to get some free casting help. An even bigger surprise was the really experienced anglers that showed up - for example, Afishinado. Smart anglers take every opportunity to further their skills, and a better casting skill set is always desirable. The never ending quest to improve oneself as a flyfisherman is one of the best things about the sport IMHO.
Photographs from the afternoon
Next up - The Trico Summit! More info to follow on this.......
Anglers enjoy the world-class fly-fishing waters of Spring Creek that meanders through the town. Other prominent streams such as Penns Creek, Fishing Creek, Spruce Creek and the Little Juniata River are all in close proximity too. The mountain fed and limestone streams provide cool productive waters through out the year that are a delight to fly fishing enthusiasts.
Members of the Pennsylvania fly-fishing community at PaFlyFish.com resoundingly selected Bellefonte in a recent poll as the Best Fly Fishing Town in Pennsylvania. Selected for not only the close proximity to the many wonderful streams in the area, but its hospitality, shops, dining and accommodations. With a lodging named the Riffles and Runs Bed and Breakfast how can this not be a wonderful fly fishing town.
Bill Simmeth, member at PaFlyfish.com adds, "If I would ever move somewhere close to good fly fishing, Bellefonte would be at the top of my list. The town has all the amenities a fly fisherman could want with good restaurants, accommodations and two great fly shops nearby. Yet it still has that nice small town feel to it."
Walt Goldman, Mayor of Bellefonte, commented, "We are thrilled to hear that Bellefonte has been recognized for this wonderful designation. Bellefonte welcomes all fly fishing anglers to come and visit our wonderful town."
Thanks to www.VisitPa.com for the Bellefonte picture.
Many anglers are looking forward to time with the family and some possible time on the water fly fishing. Here are some happens around the state.
Boiling Springs - June 20th in Boiling Springs will be PA Fly Fishing Heritage Day. This is held at the pavilion at Allenberry and involves some nice tying and casting demos as well as the chance to talk to local and national experts about insects, bamboo rods, etc.
Yellow Creek, Bedford County - June 20th The Yellow Creek Coalition there will be a pig roast fund raiser Sat. June 20th (food at 2pm) just up the road from the fly fishing project. Contact Fred Sherlock at 814-766-3176
Sunbury - June 18-21 Fathers Day '09 promises to be a lively day in Shickshinny when 80 paddlers land in town as part of the North Branch Susquehanna Sojourn. The 100 mile, six day sojourn begins on June 18 upriver at Vosberg Neck and comes to Shickshinny on June 21. It ends on June 23 at Shikellamy State Park, Sunbury, at the confluence of the River's North and West branches.
The months of May and June here in southeastern PA bring forth the greatest event of the fly-fishing season… the SULPHUR HATCH. These yellowish mayflies are actually made up of three (3) different mayfly species; Ephemerella rotunda, E. invaria, and E. dorothea. Most streams in SEPA hold all three (3) species which can be good AND bad. It's good because it extends the sulphur hatch from 1st/2nd week of May through much of June (most seasons)… and it's bad because there are subtleties that the fish notice and key on (sometimes) and if the angler does not adjust, he (or she) could be in for a long evening. The good news though, is that the "bad" is well within your control.
First a quick overview of the three (3) players, in order of emergence;
• Ephemerella rotunda: Duns have a medium yellow body color with slight "olive cast" to them… the largest of the three by a hair, could be as large as a size 12 hook size, but a size 14 will do (a true "tweener")… often hatch out of very swift water (just below riffles)… hatching usually begins around Mother's Day and lasts 2-3 weeks… hatch most often in late afternoons (4-6 pm)
• Ephemerella invaria: Duns have a yellowish/orange body color … best imitated with a size 14 hook… often hatch out of slightly slower flows than rotunda's… hatching usually begins around 3rd week in May peaking around Memorial Day (slowing down in June)… hatch most often in early evenings (6-7 pm)
• Ephemerella dorothea: Duns have a pale yellow body color … best imitated with a size 16 hook (sometimes 18)… often hatch out of slower pools… hatching usually begins in last week of May and lasting well into June… hatch most often in evenings (7-8:30 pm), sometimes right at dusk in a quick "blizzard" of activity.
Believe it or not, there are other "yellow" mayflies hatching during these same times as well, but those listed above make up the Sulphur Hatch as most anglers know it. As you can see there are differences between the three and it will save your sanity to have the proper sizes/colors to cover the gamut. At the very least I would carry size 14 dry fly's in sulphur yellow to cover the rotunda/invaria and size 16 pale yellow imitations to cover the dorothea (some anglers use a Light Cahill for this). To compound the mayhem, in addition to the over-lapping hatch activity, trout will often key on a certain "stage" of emergence from drifting nymphs, to struggling emergers, to floating duns… and just when you think you have THAT all figured out, there could be spent spinners on the water as well!
If you show up to the stream in the mid afternoon and no fish are rising and no insects are on the water (or in the air)… you could be in for some fast action by tying on a Pheasant-tail nymph (size 14-16) and fishing the riffles and runs. Prior to emergence these nymphs will fill the water column as they struggle to reach the surface. Trout will be gorging on them and you will often see flashes in the stream as fish slash from side-to-side engulfing drifting nymphs by the mouthful.
Once a good supply of duns are on the surface the trout will come up for them and the real fun begins with dry flies… fish staging in faster water will be easier targets as they have precious little time to inspect your offering. Trout holding in slower pools will be a bit tougher, but may be larger and you should still dupe them easily with a stealthy "down & across" approach. If the fish refuse your floating dry, try tying an emerger pattern or weightless nymph about 6" off the back of the dry. This will take fish that are targeting these hapless naturals. Some of you may have heard people say that the trout are easier to catch at the beginning of the sulphur hatch but get smarter as the weeks wear on? These are the guys that don't adjust to the dorothea activity and are missing out big time. The difference in a size 16 or 14 hook may not sound like much, but place the fly's next to each other and you will see why the trout key on one or the other. Just pay attention to what is on the water and you'll be OK.
The last piece of the puzzle is the spinnerfall. Again, this can be as frustrating or as rewarding as you want to make it. Personally I take my largest "dry fly caught" trout every season during the spinnerfall. It's an easy meal and one that large trout rarely pass up. As you survey the stream take notice of the presence of any swarms of "dancing" mayflies over the riffles. These will be egg-laden females preparing to drop their cargo into the drink before dying and dropping in themselves. The males in all likelihood have already fallen, spent from mating activity. During sulphur season this activity most often takes place during the early evening if not right at dark (maybe early morning if air temp's are too high for mating flights). These mating swarms start out high above the stream surface and if you happen to notice flocks of insect-eating birds (swallows, swifts, nighthawks… maybe bats) high above, you can be pretty sure that a spinnerfall is about an hour away. Sounds complicated but it is surprisingly simple… for this activity I carry just one fly—The Rusty Spinner—in sizes 14-18. Look for subtle risers, often times near the tail ends of pools, just "dimpling' the surface and float your imitation right down into the waiting jaws of a heavy brown. If rising fish continue to ignore your floating dun, tie on a Rusty Spinner and 9 out of 10 times you will be surprised at the response.
Always keep in mind that ANY and ALL of the above described activities could be going on… sometimes simultaneously! Just be observant, let the trout tell you what they want, and you will enjoy your cigar and cold beverage a LOT more back at the parking area… this I promise.
*NOTE* The referenced taxon above is a bit outdated as the society of entomologists (or whoever they are) have decided that E. invaria and E. rotunda are now the same species (E. invaria)… also they have added a second dorothea to E. dorothea (E. dorothea dorothea). This info is strictly for the angler's that are over-obsessed with details (like ME for example)… the trout still eat them the same as they always have.
I hope anyone who can make it takes advantage of this opportunity to put a face with the names you see on the board. Every Jam for the past 10 years have been friendly and fun experience.

No one really knows when fly fishing first began. It is believed that it existed long ago in ancient times. One of the earliest written references to fly fishing was made by Claudius Aelianus. In 200 AD he wrote of people that were fishing in a river with a hand made fly. He described how they attached red wool and feathers to a hook. The rods they used and the sting attached were each about six feet long. These people were the ancient Macedonians. Throughout history from Aelianus to the present people have been writing about fly fishing, and many thousands of others have been enjoying the sport.
The Princess of Soapwell, English, was an avid fly fisherman. Her name was Dame Juliana Berners and she was a master at her sport. At the time Columbus was searching for the New World, Dame Juliana was publishing an extensive treatise on the art of fly fishing. In her treatise she described the twelve styles of fly and included extensive instructions on how to tie them. She patterns were put into categories by the month that they were used most often.
She also described the rod that was used for fly fishing during that time. It measured about 18 feet long and was very flexible, The rods were made of several different types of wood which added to their flexibility. Their lines were short, by today's standards, and were made of hand braided horse hair. The general rule of the time was that the line should not be longer then the fishing rod. The line was tied to the tip of the pole.
Many fly fishermen of today have used her patterns for the fly. They say they are just as effective today as they were more than five hundred years ago. Several of the more popular patterns include the Black Gnat, the Wooly Worm, the Stonefly and the Whirling Dun.
In the mid 1600's Isaak Walton published his book "Compleat Angler." Throughout history from then on, Izaak Walton has been considered the patron saint on angling, and of fly fishing in particular. In truth, it was actually his friend, Charles Cotton, that had contributed the portion of the book that pertained to fly fishing. The flies and rods described in this book were very similar to those described by Dame Juliana. However, the lines described were slightly different. They were still made of horsehair but were about six feet longer then those of the 1400's. The main difference was that some of the lines were tapered. It is believed that this was the first time tapered lines were described in writing.
In the early 1800's, fishing line makers began mixing silk in with the horsehair. By the time of the Civil War the first all silk lines were made. They were coated with an oily coating which made them water resistant. Horsehair lines were almost never used after that. Occasionally they were found in England up to World War II.
The first nylon line was made in 1948 and from that point forward synthetic materials have been used by most people for fly fishing. In 1952, a technology was created that made an automatically tapered line withe extreme precision.

Article Source: ArticlesBase.com - The History of Fly Fishing
PaFlyFish.com is chocked full of maps, tips, news, stories and conversations already at you fingertips. Pennsylvania is a sizable state so starting with the Pa Trout Streams section under the site menu is a good place to begin. There are six regions with hundreds of stocked and special regulation streams that are ideal for fly fishing. Take advantage of the maps to explore the areas you want to travel.
A little searching with some of those new stream names in the forums and stream reports can usually yield a string of information. A host of highly regarded authors can be found in the Fly Fishing Books section. Some good old fashion book reading is worth some time.
A quick trek to the PFBC website can offer an additional collection of streams and detailed regulations.
Finally, time with your local fly shop and Trout Unlimited Chapter are wonderful places to meet up with others. They can provide any number of classes, workshops, and conservation opportunities.
With the arm chair work complete go explore the state. Some of the best places you'll find will likely be the ones you didn't set out for when you got started. There may not be an easy button here, but the journey is part of the catch.
Fly selection can be most complex for the fly fisher during an insect hatch. During a hatch the fish feed selectively on the most abundant insect form in or on the water. To be armed with the perfect imitation, in size, form, and color, for each phase of every hatch he may encounter, the fly fisherman would need hundreds of fly patterns in dozens of sizes. One current catalog lists forty-six patterns in five sizes to imitate the phases of one mayfly's life cycle.
Mayfly color can vary considerably, even during the same hatch on the same riffle. Under different light and water conditions, a fly can take a variety of manifestations to the trout. Flies appear differently to fish on cloudy days,on bright days, under the direct light at noon, and in the low angle light of morning and evening. Fish perceive flies differently on riffles than on smooth slicks. Murky water following a rain will alter the trouts view of a fly.
The power of Google Maps help provide detail locations and easy driving directions to over a hundred fabulous locations across the state.
The project has been a special collaboration of many of the PaFlyFish members who really provided expertise on the locations of the streams. The new maps provide the framework for more and new information about stream locations across the state.

If you're looking to get some of the benefits of exercise without doing the work, here's some good news. A new research report published online in The FASEB Journal shows that low-intensity vibrations led to improvements in the immune function of obese mice. If the same effect can be found in people, this could have clinical benefits for obese people suffering from a wide range of immune problems related to obesity.
"This study demonstrates that mechanical signals can help restore an immune system compromised by obesity," said Clinton Rubin, Ph.D., study author from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. "While it is well known that obesity can cripple many physiologic systems, this work suggests that mechanical signals-in the absence of drugs-can help combat this disease and its sequelae. That these mechanical signals are so brief, and so mild, is further evidence of how exquisitely tuned our body is to external signals, and that remaining active-climbing stairs at work, taking a walk at lunch, standing while reading a book-will help achieve and retain good health. Stand up!"

Katy Perry & Friends Go To The Movies
Katy Perry had a low-key Saturday afternoon. She and some friends (no sign of John Mayer) went to the Arclight Cinema to see a movie. No word on which movie they saw. I wonder if they saw 'The Bourne Legacy'? It doesn't look like I'm going to make it out this weekend, but I absolutely intend to see it before it leaves theaters!
Katy was nice enough to stop and sign some autographs for fans as she left the theater. Katy then flicked off the paparazzi, but since we're a family-friendly website, I didn't post those pics. I guess she was sick and tired of having her picture taken. One of the downsides of being a celebrity: fame doesn't turn "off" when they want it to, unfortunately.

New York City Comptroller John Liu's office announced on Tuesday that the city's pension fund will vote against five Wal-Mart's directors at the annual shareholder's meeting next month. The move comes in the wake of reports that Wal-Mart officials allegedly sought to cover up hi-level bribery in the company's Mexico division in the middle of the last decade. The city's pension funds hold nearly $278 million worth of Wal-Mart stock.
"Wal-Mart presents itself as a leader in corporate ethics, but it is clear that the company's leadership does not practice what it preaches," Liu said in a statement. "The bribery allegations are damaging, but reports of a widespread cover-up, involving Wal-Mart's top executives, could have even more devastating consequences."
The Comptroller's office says efforts were made in 2005 under the previous comptroller, Bill Thompson, to get "Wal-Mart's audit committee retain independent counsel to conduct a comprehensive review of Wal-Mart's legal and regulatory controls and issue a report to shareowners with findings and recommendations."
"Time and again our Pension Funds have approached Wal-Mart's board with serious concerns about its practices in the U.S. and abroad and received only empty reassurances," Liu said. "This board has failed its shareholders."
A spokesperson for Wal-Mart said the company is not commenting on the news.
The Comptroller's office said it would specifically vote against Michael T. Duke, chairman and CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.; H. Lee Scott, Jr., the former CEO; Christopher J. Williams, chairman and CEO of The Williams Capital Group, L.P. and Williams Capital Management, LLC.
"Directors Duke and Scott failed to act in shareowners' best interests when confronted with credible allegations of widespread bribery, while Mr. Williams bears responsibility for the audit committee's failure to ensure adequate internal compliance controls, notwithstanding repeated shareowner concerns," the comptroller's office said.
Additionally, the pension fund will vote against the current audit committee director Arne M. Sorenson, as well as the Chairman of the Board, S. Robson Walton.
The city pension fund holds more than 4.7 million shares in Wal-Mart.

Preparing for Therapy
After an initial consultation and examination at the center, you will receive complete instructions regarding your treatment.
In the case of prescribed hyperbaric medicine: for safety reasons there are certain items not allowed inside the chambers. Please do not wear or bring the following into the chamber during your treatment:
- Make-up, nail polish, perfume, aftershave
- Flammable materials
- Wigs/hairpieces, hairspray and hair oils
- Hearing aids
- Alcohol or petroleum based products
- Metallic items (such as jewelry, watches, and coins)
- Ask your hyperbaric chamber technician about contact lens use
Note: You should also refrain from smoking or the use of any tobacco products during the entire course of therapy. Tobacco use will prolong or even prevent healing of a wound site due to its effect on the blood vessels in your body. Before starting your treatment session, you will change into a 100% cotton garment provided by the Center. For safety reasons, no other clothing may be worn inside the chamber.
What to expect during hyperbaric medicine treatment
Once you are comfortably positioned inside the chamber, the pressure will gradually increase and the temperature will temporarily rise. When the desired pressure is achieved, the temperature will be adjusted to your comfort. You may experience fullness in your ears as a result of the increased pressure. The technician will instruct you in ways to help clear the pressure and relieve any discomfort. Most treatment sessions in the chamber last approximately one-and-a-half hours. When the treatment is completed, the chamber is restored to normal pressure and the interior of the chamber will become cooler.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Apple has released a new TV ad for the iPhone 5c, which highlights the use of polycarbonate material in the new iPhone, describing it as "Plastic Perfected."
The 30-second lets music and imagery do the talking, showing colourful liquid morphing into the various coloured models of the iPhone 5c while Sleigh Bells' "Rill Rill" plays in the background.
The new iPhone 5c is available in five colours: yellow, green, blue, pink and white. It's available to pre-order now, and will hit the shops on Friday, 20 September.
Apple design guru Jonathan Ive has called the iPhone 5c "unapologetically plastic."
You can watch the iPhone 5c advertisement below.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Use natural hair removal creams and products
Use a natural wax hair remover or hair removal cream to avoid making contact with skin- and earth-unfriendly chemicals. Gentle, chem-free, no-waste techniques, such as body sugaring, can be performed at home or at your favorite salon or spa.
What to look for when choosing natural hair removal products
- Look for plant-based ingredients: Conventional waxes used for hair removal commonly contain petro-based mineral oils and paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum. The search for and procurement of petroleum has had major detrimental impacts on the soil, ground water, surface water, and ecosystems of the United States and around the world. Petroleum refineries release toxic, hazardous air pollutants, such as BTEX compounds, and criteria air pollutants, like sulfur dioxide. Hair removal products that use plant-based ingredients replace these dangerous ingredients with ones that are healthier for you and the earth. One natural and effective alternative to conventional waxing is the ancient technique of body sugaring, which completely replaces the wax with sugar and other natural ingredients for hair removal.
- Avoid depilatory creams: Depilatory creams, such as Nair and Veet, contain chemicals like sodium calcium, titanium dioxide, and calcium thioglycolate that actually melt—through dissolving the protein structure of hair—unwanted hair away from your skin. Some depilatory creams contain chemicals that are thought to be carcinogenic; these chemicals can easily be absorbed into the body with the aid of absorption enhancers also found in depilatory creams. Depilatories, if used incorrectly, can cause irritation or even second- or third-degree chemical burns.
- Find home waxing kits with reusable strips and applicators: In addition to the wax itself, waxers generate additional waste due to the applicators and strips used to apply and remove the wax to and from the target areas. While waxing creates less waste than shaving with disposable blades due to its longer-lasting nature, reusable applicators create no waste at all.
- Go organic: Because the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spends only a tiny portion of its budget investigating the chemical composition and toxins in skin care products, hair removal products can tout their use of organic ingredients and still have up to 30 percent synthetic materials, even the ones labeled "organic" or "made with organic ingredients." The only way to be sure that the product you are purchasing is, in fact, organic is too look for the USDA Organic Seal on the label. This seal guarantees that every ingredient is organically produced as defined by the National Organics Standards Board, which bans the use of harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and genetic engineering.
- Look for hair removal products that do not employ animal testing: While you're contemplating green attributes, you may also wish to join the cruelty-free movement. Just keep in mind: a company may claim that they don't employ animal testing for their products, but without third-party verification, it's hard to know whether these statements are in fact completely true. So stick to those products certified as cruelty-free by looking for products with the Leaping Bunny Logo or the Certified Vegan Logo. You can rest assured that no bunnies (or monkeys or cats for that matter) were harmed in the making of these non-animal-tested products.
- Choose an eco-friendly salon for your hair removal needs: If you don't wax at home but do seek these treatments at salons and spas, make sure that the place you choose uses plant-based and natural products. Body sugaring is becoming more and more popular at spas throughout the US, so it may be a more readily available alternative for an eco-friendly wax outside the home. You can locate a green salon or spa near you using Spa Index, and call or e-mail to see if the spa near you offers chem-free waxing. While you're at it, ask what other green features the salon boasts. For example, do they use renewable energy? Recycle? Use energy-efficient equipment? And, of course, make sure "double-dipping"—reusing the wooden wax applicator on more than one client—is not being practiced as it can spread bacteria and lead to infections.

Using a natural wax hair remover helps you go green because...
- It provides an effective, long-lasting alternative to shaving and other hair removal procedures sans petroleum-derived chemicals and additives that pollute the earth and threaten human health.
- Hair removal kits with reusable applicators cut down on the waste associated with conventional waxing kits.
The personal care industry is in turmoil trying to agree upon a set of standards for organic labeling of personal care products. While the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) maintains clearcut standards for organic food, the same can't be said for body care products. Some companies use the USDA certified organic food standard, which requires 95 percent of the ingredients to be organic. Others use the less stringent California state standard for organic cosmetic products, which requires at least 70 percent organically produced ingredients. And still others label their products organic without meeting any external criterion. Fortunately, the guidelines for labeling a soap as "100% Organic" are strict. Products carrying this label maus contain all organic ingredients.
To clear up this confusion, a nonprofit standard-setting group called NSF International has released a draft set of rules for organic personal care products and a group of 30 cosmetic companies recently devised their own set of specifications called Organic and Sustainable Industry Standards (OASIS). How it all washes out remains to be seen.
