John Serfustini, who began writing Utah wildlife stories as editor of the Wasatch Wave in 1975 and continues to write them as editor emeritus of the Sun Advocate, was honored recently as the Division of Wildlife Resources Southeastern Region Outreach Partner of the Year 2014.
Serfustini says that Utah's wildlife and habitat have been endlessly fascinating. "It's not like work if you enjoy what you're doing," he explains. "Over the years I have had the opportunity to hold bear cubs, crawl in the den with their mother, go rabbit hunting with a goshawk, see some gigantic fish pulled out of lakes with gill nets...and have watched machines pulverize juniper and pinyon pine to make better habitat for deer."
Serfustini says he appreciates having had the opportunity to deal with professional biologists, managers and public information officers during his career.
Now that he is retired from the day-to-day work at the newspaper, Serfustini continues to maintain his relationship with DWR.
"Don't tell anyone, but it amazes me that I get paid to do this," he quips.

Medicare is the nation's biggest buyer of health care, spending $550 billion last year to provide care for 48.7 million Americans. The problem is that the taxes paid by workers and employers to finance the program aren't covering the full cost, and the government since 2008 has been drawing off its trust fund to make up the difference.
Barring changes, the trust fund runs out in 12 years - 2024 - and the government would have to raise taxes or cut services. Social Security, which provides benefits for 55 million people, is in better financial shape, but the funds that support it are projected to run out in 2033, three years earlier than was predicted just last year.
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney offer vastly different approaches to putting both popular programs on sound financial footing. Both offer more details for Medicare than Social Security.
Here's what each of the candidates said they would do with Medicare:
Obama would:
* Use the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to transform, trim and sustain Medicare.
* Reduce projected annual payments to health care providers and Medicare Advantage plans.
* Impose new fees on drug companies, medical device makers and insurers. Improve prescription drug coverage and pay for free preventative care.
* Cut projected Medicare spending by $716 billion from 2013 to 2022. The savings would come mainly from lower annual payment increases for hospitals and other care providers, higher premiums for affluent beneficiaries and lower payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the private plans that provide Medicare benefits.
*Obamacare adds new revenue to Medicare from a 2014 payroll tax on high-income workers and new fees on drug companies, medical device makers and insurers - all industries that will see substantial new revenue when the law mandates millions of uninsured Americans to start buying insurance in 2014.
Romney would:
*Repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
*Replace the current Medicare system, starting in 2023, with a "voucher" or "premium support" payment plan. He'd let people use the voucher to purchase private coverage or traditional Medicare coverage.
*Wouldn't affect current Medicare beneficiaries or those nearing retirement, only those who enter Medicare beginning in 2023. *Starting in 2023, he'd give government vouchers to people to buy their own insurance. The idea is that private insurance companies would compete for that business, providing more value and better quality while driving down prices. If their medical costs exceed the amount of their voucher, seniors would have to pay the difference regardless of whether they've chosen private insurance or traditional Medicare. The amount of the voucher would be equal to the cost of traditional Medicare in that area or the second least expensive private plan that offers benefits equivalent to Medicare, whichever is less.
* Beneficiary co-pays and premiums would rise under the voucher plan. Medicare's Hospital Insurance Trust Fund also would become insolvent eight years earlier - in 2016 instead of 2024 - if the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were repealed

Parents.. INCT: Well,
Something finally has happened with my parents. What people don't understand (who haven't gone through this) is that divorce isn't just between husband and wife. My parents loved.. I mean loved my ex-wife and they got hurt as much as I did. She didn't have a great family life growing up and they made her very welcome.
Well, I have met someone else..and My parents had refused to acknowledge that she even existed. In fact, it's been months since my parents and I have even spoke.. (we live around the corner from each other)
anyway, they just invited us both for Thanksgiving..and for me that's great. It really helps the healing process when friends and family will accept your new life.. even if you were not the one to choose it..
so.. that's my wonderful thing..
keroppi: INCT,
That's a step in the right direction! Holidays are a big deal. I'm sure your folks realize that you've gone through hell and back already and it was the right thing to do to invite your new partner over for the holiday.
I understand about the wierdness parents feel after the divorce. The worst for me is my in-laws, not my actual parents. They were the most devestated b/c they knew I was the bright spot in their son's life and they really don't understand why he did this. When the same thing happened with their daughter (ex's older sister - talk about in the family!!), they refused to accept her new boyfriend until they were finally engaged. Weird.
Anyways, Best of luck!
INCT: Keroppi,
Thanks for the respones. Divorce takes it's toll on all aspects of life, not just the 2 people directly involved. Friends, family, work.. everything..
Sometimes I still feel like I have some strange disease..
AloneInGA: For me, even though this is just starting, my parents have been my sole salvation. They are very supportive and so caring. I wish they were closer (they live in Florida, I'm in Georgia).
I signed up for a Divorce Support Group locally, and I will be attending my first meeting next Tuesday. That makes me feel at least a bit better.
Thanks for listening, all...
Jason29: Two day's ago My mother In-law came to my work. This was a complete surprise to me. She now know's all about the seperation. Of course only my wifes side of the story, but whatever. My Mother- In Law came in and gave me a big kiss on the cheek, told me she loved me. And told me that we are all going to make it through this. My father in-law sat out in the car. As I have said b4, him and I are like father & son...so I guess he's not taking it well.

The fear of failure is perhaps the strongest force holding people below their potential. In a world which is full of uncertainty, countless misfortunes could occur to anyone. Thus, it is obvious to see why many people are afraid of being fail. If you are one of them, then you are being in the right place where can gives you 24 tips on how to overcome fear of failure at work and in life easily and quickly. Check out the tips to start gaining success in your life effortlessly.
How To Overcome Fear Of Failure At Work And In Life
1. Identify The Causes
First and foremost, in order to learn how to overcome fear of failure at work and in life, you need to know where your fear of failure originates. It is better for you to sit down, take a deep breath and ask yourself when and how your fear of failure formed. Once you see its causes, you will find that your mind's interpretation is far from exact. The reason of your fear might be originated from the overly-protection of your parents, or a particularly strict teacher. It is necessary for you to examine your negative thoughts, beliefs, as they have a great impact on how you live your own life.
2. Simplify
Actually, complex is hard to visualize. Everything seems to be hopeless and not worth trying just as you do not know how. In that case, the thing you should do is to find your passion, and boldly go where you have never gone come before. This will help you feel light and more energized to start trying, doing things you want in life.
3. Consider The Cost Of Missed Chances
Perhaps, the biggest risk that a lot of people fail to consider is the advantages of their missed opportunities. Taking high risk or high reward opportunities is necessary as they offer the biggest benefit. The problem here is that if you do not take risk, then you cannot find out any opportunities. Even, you could not exploit your potential talent. Though you could live quite and reasonably peaceful, happy life, you are unlikely to do something new. As a result, you will not be likely to make your mark on the real world.
4. Know That Failure Is Inevitable
Let's be real here. In fact, no one passes through their own life without difficulties. Let's face it; failure is something that is inevitable once you wish to live a remarkable life. Of course, everyone always wants to live a life that full of meaning, passion, and purpose. Sooner or later, you will have to overcome the fear of failure. Also, you need to overcome many other fears during your lifetime. Sometimes, it might be overwhelming, exhausting. However, the more you move through difficulties, the faster you will grow. Once you want to live your dream life, then you have to be conscious of failure as an essential part of the life. And then, embrace it. Check out tips to find life purpose right here to help you define your road to success.
5. Research Alternatives
The unknown seems to be the main source of fear. When you do not know what you are handling with, many potential outcomes seem far worse than they really are. So, it is time for you to take the power out fear by understanding it. Research all the potential consequences in order to understand the risk of failure and the chances of success. By this way, you will be able to make a logical and right decision.

SCFCUSidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union
Established in 2001
Members: 45 cooperatives totaling 87,000 members
Region: Sidama (southwest Ethiopia)
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and yet the fourth poorest country in the world. Coffee farmers live a very traditional lifestyle. Farming less than 5 acres and living in stick houses, electricity, running water and indoor plumbing are rare in rural areas.
Located in the Sidama region of southern Ethiopia, SCFCU began representing small-scale farmers in 2001 and has since grown to become the second largest coffee producing cooperative union in Ethiopia. The majority of its member coops are organic and Fair Trade certified and nearly all their coffee is grown in the shade of diverse, indigenous trees. Approximately 5,000 tons of sidamo coffee is produced per year, 95% of which is washed.
Harvest time occurs between September to December depending on the coffee's altitude and rainfall. After the families harvest the cherries, they sell them to the primary cooperatives for wet processing. There are approximately 220 wet processing centers, 92 of which are owned by members of the coops. The dried parchment is sthen stored in a warehouse until delivery to the central market in Addis Ababa where the husk is removed and the clean beans are packaged for export.
Cooperative Coffees and Cafe Campesino began importing unwashed Sidama coffee directly from Sidama Union in 2009.

The Matrimandir Journal
discontinued in 2003
Archive issues
11th issue
This publication, discontinued in 2003, looks at the deeper meaning of the centre of Auroville - the area, Mother called Peace. It is around this conscious and dynamically peaceful centre that the City of Auroville is to build itself.
Speaking about the very first condition to live in Auroville as stated in the Charter of Auroville: "To live in Auroville one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness", Mother explained that the Matrimandir symbolized the Divine Consciousness.
She called it 'the Soul of Auroville' and 'the living symbol of Auroville's aspiration for the Divine'.
Exploring the significance:
The Matrimandir Journal looks at these and other remarks of the Mother and attempts to explore the inward psychological and spiritual significance of each of the elements that compose the centre: i.e. the Matrimandir structure, the powers and attributes of the 'Universal Mother' and her Creation, represented by the twelve Gardens (referred to by the Mother to be 'as important as the Matrimandir itself') as also the 12 rooms for meditation.
There is a deep mystery about this magnificent three dimensional Yantra that is being created at the centre of Auroville. A greater awareness of the significance of each of its elements might aid in activating this symbol in our individual and collective consciousness and help us to find the deeper unity we seek. For, as Sri Aurobindo says, "A spiritual symbol is only a meaningless ticket, unless the thing symbolized is realized in the spirit ... A spiritual idea is a power, but only when it is both inwardly and outwardly creative."
The Journal appears periodically and is available on request for all interested persons. The issues published so far:
Future issues:
Further issues will explore first: the 12 states of Consciousness that are meant to be embodied in the Matrimandir Gardens; and later: the 12 qualities of the Meditation Rooms.

[SLAC] [SLAC Pubs and Reports]
Photon Pulse Filtering and Modulation Based On the Extreme Temporal Compression and Correlated Spread of the Electron Bunches in the SLAC Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)
AbstractThe LCLS photon pulses are expected to attain unprecedented levels of brightness and brevity in the 300-400eV range. Nominally, the photon pulse length will be dominated by the electron bunch length, while the performance of conventional x-ray reflecting and band-shaping optics will be limited by: 1) peak power damage, and 2) transform-limited monochromatization. In this paper we describe how: 1) the correlated energy spread in the electron bunch can be used to selectably compress the LCLS photon pulses to below their nominal length; 2) gas optics can be used to mitigate peak damage problems; 3) the LCLS pulse structure can, in principle, accommodate schemes based on "disposable" optics; and 4) pulse lengthening schemes can be used to extend the attainable degree of monochromatization.

Alexandra Martin, 26, speaks with defense attorney Peter Berger outside the Polk County Courthouse on Tuesday.
- Filed Under
A woman arrested in Des Moines in August after allegedly stalking the three brothers in pop music band Hanson didn't know she was barred from being at the group's concerts.
Alexandra Eileen Martin, 26, told a Polk County judge on Tuesday afternoon that she received marketing emails from the band inviting her to shows. Martin was arrested and charged with three counts of violating a no-contact order on Aug. 28 after the band's manager spotted her in the crowd at the band's Nightfall on the River show at Simon Estes Amphitheater.
In a short trial on Tuesday, Martin admitted that she knew that in May ...

New Delhi: Clarifying to Sharmila Tagore's letter, the BCCI has said that the India-England Test Series is played for the Anthony De Mello trophy instituted in 1951 in the name of the first Secretary of the BCCI, recognising his contribution to Indian Cricket.
Earlier, Tagore, the wife of late former cricketer MAK Pataudi, wrote a scathing letter to BCCI over the delay in its decision to institute a Pataudi Lecture and a Pataudi Trophy for the upcoming India-England series.
The BCCI release also stated: In 2007, when MCC proposed the institution of Pataudi Trophy for England-India series, the BCCI had clarified that the trophy is already named after Anthony De Mello." India are the current holders of the Anthony De Mello trophy.
"I have requested the BCCI President [N Srinivasan] to institute the Pataudi Trophy for the India-England Test series. I have also asked to fast-track the matter," Tagore, currently in London, had told CNN-IBN over the phone. "I haven't heard from BCCI till now ... I don't know why they haven't replied."
Tagore, 65, sent an email on November 2 while making no effort to conceal her displeasure and discontent_cn over the BCCI's seemingly reluctant stance on officially naming the India-England series as the Pataudi Trophy as well as its delay in formalising a Pataudi Memorial Lecture in the late cricketer's homour.
In her email to Srinivasan, Tagore also reminded the BCCI that in spite of promising to institute the Lecture last year, there have been no efforts yet to formalise it. Additionally, she has also questioned the BCCI's reluctance to resolve the legal issues involving the late Indian captain and the board.
Incidentally, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) had commissioned the Pataudi Trophy in 2007, to be presented to the winning captain at the end of future England-India Test series. It was conceived to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first-ever India-England Test series that took place in 1932, but strangely enough the Indian board never gave its official stamp of approval to the naming of the trophy.
In 2011, shortly before his death, Pataudi had been left embarrassed in England when he gave away the trophy. At the post-series presentation ceremony, Pataudi was called upon the dais only for his presence to be ignored as England captain Andrew Strauss was given the sponsor's trophy.
Pataudi died on September 22, 2011 due to an interstitial lung disease. He played 46 Tests for India, captaining in 40, and scored 2793 runs at an average of 34.91.

"I was 5 or 6 when I drew my first comic," said cartoonist Stephen McCranie. "I was drawing comics before I knew how to write."McCranie, a graduate of Los Alamos High School currently studying art at the University of New Mexico, has also been reading comics his whole life, everything from Jim Davis' "Garfield" to Art Spiegelman's "Maus: A Survivor's Tale." He cites Hayao Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art" (entirely in comic format) as two of his most edifying favorites.His first job in the business came from Los Alamos National Laboratory. His supervisor wanted to see "what comics could do in teaching people how to use a program to access database information," theorizing that people were more likely to read a comic from beginning to end than a more traditional users' manual, McCranie said."It catered exactly to what I wanted to do," he added. "I think the comic has a whole lot of potential for transferring information … I would love to see more comics in schools, teaching kids how to read.

Left this off of my previous anonymous reply.Weak attempt at humor. The real target should have been the test that was performed by the magazine.What kind of ridiculous test is dragging gear behind a truck?You could do this with a solid block of aluminum and it would suffer damage!I'll stop posting now.
There is always one "Honor Graduate" (Smart Arse) in every crowd.
From my 28 years as an US Army Infantryman, the magazine dragging test was a wimpy way of trying to duplicate a US Army Airborne trooper floating to earth with his gear hanging below him. The gear hits the ground a second or so before him and if he is gets dragged along the ground for a distance so does his gear. The idea being that if the gear is strong enough to take this abuse it should take anything. So you might say that the standard for all Infantry Gear is a sort of drag test. To bad the magazine didn't just go jump out of an airplane and really test the gear.
Edited by bfornshell on 06/13/2005 17:45:56 MDT.
Scouting in a lot of peoples mind is a kind of paramilitary activity and all MIL equipment has undergone some tough test before use in the field. (We often dragged the radios out of the APC only by the headset.) As most hiking gear in the past started as MIL gear, I think there was a lot of overkill. We still see that even today.Well, the SUL gear might be too fragile but most commercial gears will survive even if the user jump of the mountain and kill him self in a 1000 feet free fall. The mainstream companies are slowly moving towards lighter gear, but there is a long way to go still.
Your comment about gear surviving a leap off a mountain reminds me of a T-shirt we saw on a hiker once: "If you die, we split your gear."
You are absolutely right.My sincere apologies and thanks to the poster who correctly took me to task and to the readers of this thread. "smart-a_ _ _ " - true.immature - even truer.Again, please accept my apologies.
I like Bill Fornshell's idea! Lets get someone to jump out a plane with the packs hanging below them. Coup, are you ready? I think the Go-lite Gust (built from Dyneema only - no moving parts!) is up to that test!! Ryan, just in case he's not paying attention, email this thread to Coup (at Go-lite)! I bet he antes up a test![No, I don't work at Go-lite, I just like my Gust!]

Doug's article results in an excellent balance of lightweight backpacking for young scouts and safety, frugality and common sense.For the Northeast, I have 2 words of advice on a modified list: Wet & Buggy! Therefore, I'd modify the list for New England Scouts and suggest a Synthetic Insulation Sleeping Bag that maintains warmth when wet (young Scouts can never stay dry given a wet environment) and a Mosquito Net. I'v tried 4 different nets and my favorite is the Repel Sleep Screen (altho heavy -11oz--with poles -don;t loose them & pricey-$39. @ REI). Combine these with a Poncho-tarp (Campmore extra long modified with sewn-in ridge ties is half the price of my ID poncho-tarp)& you are protected. Scouting's Adult Volunteers need to be educated about the dangers (physical & emotional)of heavy packs on young scouts, which BSA has all but ignored.Yours in Scouting, Downhill Norm, (ASM)
We will charter a brand new troop this fall and plan to shed the traditional cast-iron-in-the-chuckbox camping model. All one has to do is shop the internet or local outdoor suppliers to realize BSA's National Council are seriously stuck in the last century. Combine the pragmatic emphasis on "Leave No Trace" and low-impact camping with "Be Prepared" and one quickly realizes BSA National Supply has some catching up to do. It is just common sense for an organization like BSA to lead charge in bringing the high-impact outdoorsman of the past into a model based on conservation and care of the environment. The heavy equipment used by most troops in our area requires large facilities to store it, big trailers to haul it, and an army of scouts to load and unload it. Furthermore, the traditional scout camp can leave a huge "foot print" on the land, especially when it rains. Thankfully, these heavy-duty scouting units are largely confined to state parks and council camping areas that already get heavy use. Think of the experiences their boys are missing!Let's face it, our goal as scouters is to keep our scouts interested in scouting long enough to have a positive impact on their lives. So next fall we will ask parents to buy two uniforms: 1) an official BSA Field Uniform for indoors and 2) a separate Troop Activity Uniform for outdoors. Our troop activity uniform will consist of layered clothing elements:- custom troop CoolMax base-layer shirt (olive),- custom troop fleece jackets (red) with a troop emblem,- custom troop boonie cap (khaki) of fast-drying poly/nylon,- any polypro base-layer long and short bottoms for both warm and cold weather (scout's choice),- the new wicking BSA "Action Shirt" will become our functional "field shirt",- nylon convertible hiking pants/shorts (khaki): also serve as swim trunks,- poly sock liners and boot socks,- a nylon web belt,- breathable, ventible wind/rain parka and pants (scout's choice),- medium weight hiking boots,- knit cap, gloves/mittens for cold weather- no neckerchiefStandardizing colors should prevent us from looking like a traveling circus. The customized clothes are less expensive than you might think, but require a parent to serve in a procurement position on the committee.We have developed a minimal gear list that follows the "rule of multiple uses." With few exceptions, if an item has only one useful purpose, leave it at home. This turns into a thinking game for the boys. We have a recommended list of preferred sleeping bags, backpacks and boots that will be regularly updated. The troop will provide backpacking tents (basic Eurekas), cooking gear, etc.This strategy will be an experiment for us, but we've seen a few other troops adopt the model with good results. Any thoughts?
Scouting will eventually move to the light philosophy. Scouting is a conservative organization that adopts change slowly. For example, when I went to Philmont in the early 80's I had an internal frame backpack. The ranger tried to get me use a frame pack, because the ranger did not "believe" the internal pack would work. How many people have internal frame packs at Philmont today?As more and more Scouts (and Scout leaders) get educated to the virtues of going light, it will be accepted in time.A lot of Scout family's have cost restraints, and light gear is ussually more expensive. What ideas do others have for going light and going inexpensive?Making your gear is one solution and Scouts use to love making stuff. Do Scouts still like to make stuff? Ken
> And for weekend trips a waterproof pair of shoes/boots is a good idea.Why?We walk IN the creeks and rivers at times, for the whole day. Wet feet have never done any harm at all. But good thick socks and comfortable footwear - ah, that's essential.Cheers
Cost is a big issue and we talk to scout parents a lot about shopping for deals on quality equipment. If you haven't checked it out, look at the Coleman non-profit website. Some of the prices can't be beat and it includes some good backpacking gear.
I like the list Doug put together. It's a mirror image of what I've done for my troop.The bigger challenge with being a Scouter today, particularly a Scouter whose own Scouting experience was in the backpacking-mad 1970's, is the rigor in getting boys off their butts to do physically difficult adventures. We've always had a good core group of 10-15 backpacker Scouts at all age levels of our unit with 40-50 boys, but even with multiple trip dates a good share of them are plain panty-waists.I couldn't quite intellectually explain what I was thinking over the past 15 years of service as a Scouter but Richard Louv's book put it all together. His book-"Lost Child in the Woods," is now my mantra for parents.If lightening the load makes a positive effort in getting more kids out I think Doug has done a great job. I would add a caveat....do not take boys of any age near water without a full set of dry clothes(lightweight if needed) wrapped up in a sealed plastic bag. Boys will find inumerable ways to get wet at the worst of times.
So can we re-print this, and hand it out to parents? And I also think cost is the major hurdle to most parents. Maybe I live in the wrong part of the world, but most of our parents balk at spending $200 on a pack and sleeping bag, for an 11 year old who may just play baseball instead. But I am going to steer all the guys toward UL, as much as I can, within cost restraints.

I went on my first 'mini' backpacking trip as an ASM this weekend. We went to Angel Island out in the San Francisco bay and hiked to our campsight and then went on to do a service project. The boys hiked no more than 5 total miles with packs (we were only there overnight).Several of the boys were under 12. I helped my son with his pack and got him down to 11.7 pounds. Which is what I wanted because he dislikes hiking. He had a better time than on any day hike with this trip. I think because his pack weight was so low. He was skipping down the hill on the way out the next morning.Now, I really (really, really) love light backpacking. So, what I saw on this trip scared me and I hope we are going to work to correct some of what I saw for our trip next month. Weight distribution... Some kids had packs that were sticking out two feet behind them because they were carrying old Coleman style rectangle bags. Tents were also hanging off the back with no way to lash them closer to the body. The Problem (1 of many)... Some parents bought packs based on the size of their child that were less than 2000 cu.in. Ideal, maybe, but not that practical. We did a gear weigh in before the trip that helped us out. But when the boys actually loaded the packs... WOW. What a mess. But, at least they were all smiling.I did alot of selling of Golite's Pinnacle Pack which lists as 1 pound 9 ounces (I've used the Jam also at 1 pound 6 ounces). I wrote a review of it if you want to take a look in reader reviews under framless back packs. You get the 72 liters volume or about 4500 cubic inches and the pack shrinks to a load capacity of about 1500 cubic inches. It will also take a hydration bladder.The reason I bring this up is the cost of the pack retails at $130 and I picked mine up for $110 on sale with free shipping and no sales tax since I bought it from a reatiler in Florida on-line. Golite has the links to who carries their packs on their web site.One of the best threads I saw today was suggesting the use of Tarp Tents. Most of the two men are under 2 pounds with a bug screen. Or you can go with just the tarp and be as lite as 8 ounces.I think we need to concider these. Especially during the summer months.I agree cost is a major fator. But if we teach the kids to be more adaptable and open minded to different ways of living in the wilderness during our weekend outings I think they will be better off for it.What do you guys think?

This is a great article for anyone transitioning to lightweight backpacking; I sure wish it was available a couple years ago when I started that changeover. It summarizes the rationale for gear choices then details a list you can literally print out and follow. I am going to point new hikers to this article first and foremost as a brief and clear intro to the gear choices. Great job!I have never been a Scout, so for the non-scouting version of this article, I might suggest the following things.- No trash bags as clothing; suffocation/condensation problems. carry at least a poncho.- No Frogg Toggs, weight and cost are tempting, but they tear like tissue paper. Again, poncho.- Using sneakers? OK, but replace the breakable cotton laces with 2mm accessory cord.
Edited by Brett1234 on 06/25/2007 21:31:05 MDT.
Great article but many scouts have parents unable to spend $300 on ultralight gear for a scout that may or may not use the gear more than once or twice. I did my first scouting 50 miler hike with a $12 budget (for all gear and food) and admittedly made mistakes that I learned from, but any scout should be able to outfit themselves for under $100 these days.Peruse thrift stores for synthetic clothing and gear like backpacks, hiking sticks/tarp poles (old ski poles) etc.. Make a synthetic quilt that tacks to a sleeping pad or keep an eye on the sales at discount outdoor stores. Teach them to cook at home with an esbit stove and a single aluminum pot before they go camping. An 8x10 blue tarp makes a fine tarp shelter for 1-6 scouts...but also have the boy practice in the back yard pitching it and sleeping in it before a trip. I started with a plastic tube tent for $1. I closed off one end and quickly learned about condensation. Scouts is about learning, not about parading lots of fancy, expensive gear.
Larry, as a ASM, I agree completly with your comments about serarching out clothing and gear at thrift shops. But I would add never buy "official" BSA Gear. It is to expensive and heavy. BSA has yet to embrace lite weight camping. The best experience a boy can have is an outdoor weekend with his troop. Scouts learn by doing.
Hi guys, (and Gals)I am trying to put together a curriculum for a "University of Scouting" event next spring and I am looking for suggestions. I think much of it will be MYOG type of equipment. But I would really like to cut it to the bare bones as far as cost. I certainly hope this will help get more kids out into nature, without overloading them with an heavy pack.

Memories of the Past
Since 1908, the little corner general store has been meeting the needs of Dorchester Shoppers. It was first known as Sunny Side Waiting Room, and operator Charles Admas met his customers at the end of the Adams Street trolley line. There was little beyond the store—no Gallivan Boulevard, no Supreme Market—just open space and the Neponset River.
A lot of things have changed since Charles Adams first bult his store. The neighborhood has grown and roads have been built. That is why we feel Gerard's was a very much needed eatery in this fine Community. We hope that while you're here you enjoy the fine food as well as the quaint Victorian atmosphere of Gerard's. Also hoping your return is soon. So tell a friend or neighbor to drop by where ten decades of friendly service and tradition awaits you.

Ruminations On Strategy And Identity
The unthinkable has happened. The Brewers' offense could only muster 7 runs against a mediocre-at-best trio of Royals pitchers and the bullpen imploded in three consecutive games with the damage credited to Milwaukee's top two relievers, resulting in a Kansas City sweep. Each game was lost by exactly one run.
I will repeat, one run. This is why to me, the blame must be sent straight to the top and placed on Ron Roenicke. Take this situation from yesterday's game: scoreless in the top of the fourth with no outs, Nyjer Morgan at the plate and Norichika Aoki at first, RRR elects to employ the hit and run as he often does, one way to take the runner off first and eliminate the double-play possibility. Some may argue this is a better strategy than bunting, and the statistics may agree. What resulted in this situation was a strike'em-out-throw'em-out double play, which is in my opinion an extreme momentum-shifting play towards the pitching team. Roenicke's strategy clearly backfired, and he is now faced with the exact two out, no baserunner situation he sought to avoid, all without contact being made. If that wasn't bad enough, Ryan Braun hits his 16th home run of the year on the very next at-bat, and an inning that could have had a crooked number in the box score for Milwaukee yielded just one run.
One run. In his 1984 book Weaver on Strategy , Hall of Fame Orioles manager Earl Weaver wrote that "if you play for one run, that's all you'll get" when explaining why he deplores traditional offensive strategies like sacrifices, stolen bases, and the hit-and-run, all major weapons in Roenicke's arsenal. For someone who does not seem to fit the archetype of a traditional manager based the importance he places on his relationships with players, Roenicke sure uses archaic methods to score runs. One run was the difference in each game of the Royals series, and has been the difference in 22 of Milwaukee's 63 games so far in 2012. They are on pace to have about as many one-run games (48) as they did in 2011, a season in which they won an improbable 62.5% of such games. This is both an unsustainable record and one not worth trying to duplicate, so there is no sense in playing to these tendencies, particularly given the state of the lineup and bullpen.
So with these obvious deficiencies, what can be done to position this team for short- and long-term success? Doug Melvin and Mark Attanasio seem to have the same goal in mind as I do for the organization: sustained success and hopefully championships. For a small market team, this is not as difficult a task as some make it out to be in today's MLB economic climate. But as Rays or Cardinals management will tell you, it involves very calculated risk taking and a special attention to producing home-grown talent. The Brewers have generally succeeded in both respects since Attanasio bought the team, making two playoff appearances and developing a marketable, talented core of players. To avoid a return to the dark ages of the 90′s and early 2000′s, these are trends that must continue.
Two draft classes have restocked a minor league system left void of prospects after the 2010-11 offseason. Pitching was prioritized last June, and hitting this year. At best, these two crops of players could result in a few legitimate major leaguers, in Milwaukee or elsewhere. If Melvin holds to plan, he will continue to replenish the stream of talent coming up through the lower levels, and this season could provide him with a chance to do so. The trade deadline is in a month and a half, and writers are already predicting the Brewers will be a major player in trades with a seller identity. Count me among supporters of a Greinke extension, but for Melvin to not shop him and fellow free-agent-to-be Shaun Marcum would be foolish.
So close to free agency however, the team is not likely to receive favorable returns for either, despite their fine seasons and ability to help contenders. Then Melvin and Attanasio will be faced with a decision similar to one they made after the 2010 season. Prince Fielder had one year left in Milwaukee and the team was not offered good enough prospects in a potential trade. Attanasio then gave the green light to go "all-in" and trade away prospects for impact pitching, a decision which paid off perfectly. Melvin and Attanasio must approach this season the same way: would a return for Marcum and/or Greinke improve the team's future? If yes, sell. If not, then buy.

In 1966 Curcio became involved in protests against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1969 he refused to apply for a degree from the university, married fellow leftist Margherita Cagol, and went to Milan, where he and his wife joined the violent extremist organization the Metropolitan Political Collective (MPC). Embracing the idea of armed revolt against the state, Curcio, Cagol, and Alberto Franceschini formed the Red Brigades in 1970. It would become Italy's major leftist terrorist organization in the postwar years.
The Red Brigades was a highly secretive and well-structured organization. Its activities included bombings, robberies, kidnappings, and maiming as terror weapons against the government. The Red Brigades' terrorist tactics reached a peak with the kidnapping of Judge Mario Sossi, who was later freed without any concessions being granted the terrorists. On 8 September 1974, Curcio was arrested as part of an undercover sting. But in February 1975 a commando-like operation led by Cagol succeeded in freeing him.
Police activity against the Red Brigades became more effective following the kidnapping of industrialist Vallarino Gancia on 5 June 1976; the following day a Carabinieri raid freed the hostage and killed Cagol. In January 1976 Curcio was wounded, captured by police, and jailed. With its leader and ideological head in captivity, the Red Brigades went into decline. Curcio remains in prison but in 1994 was allowed to take up day work as a publisher in Rome, infuriating many Italians.

Ok first off I want to star by saying this episode showed me my favorite and least favorite parts of Castle! My favorite is Castle's outlandish theories of how the people are murdered, and the thing I've started to get annoyed with is how in like every episode Laney calls, Kate answers the phone and goes "Beckett" and then her and Castle are suddenly in the morgue.
Now to the episode: I thought this was sort of ridiculous. Like really? A drug dealing pizza place, that's as bad as the episode of CSI: NY with the food truck that is really a pimp! But this was only an 8 by me, because it's Castle, and even though it's corny. It was well written.

This study examined the role of skills analysis in curriculum-based measurement (CBM) for the purpose of developing more effective instructional programs. Participants were 30 special educators who were assigned randomly to three treatment groups: (a) CBM with graphed performance indicator and skills analysis, (b) CBM with graphed performance indicator analysis only, and (c) no systematic performance monitoring (control). Teachers implemented their respective treatments for 15 weeks with a total of 91 mildly and moderately handicapped pupils. Analyses of variance indicated that use of CBM with both performance indicator and skills analysis resulted in more specific instructional changes and better student achievement than CBM with performance indicator analysis alone or control. Implications are discussed for CBM practice within special education and for the more general field of educational assessment.
