THOUSANDS of extra homes will have to built after a council's target for how many new properties it needed to cope with growth was recalculated.
Last year, Vale of White Horse District Council said it needed to build 13,000 new homes, mostly in Wantage, Grove and Didcot. But that number was based on the Government's South East Plan, which has since been revoked because of the economic situation.
To calculate a new figure, Oxford City Council and the four district councils in Oxfordshire have had to re-assess their housing need with a Strategic Housing Need Assessment (SHMA).
And the Vale has now published its estimate – 20,500 extra homes by 2031, an additional 7,430 properties – as part of its Local Plan blueprint which still needs to be approved. Each district is set a target, including accommodating population growth and "ensuring a sufficient future labour force".
The Vale proposes to build 1,720 of the new homes in the Oxford Green Belt, in villages like Kennington, Cumnor and Radley.
The council needs to build 4,025 homes in the next six years to catch up with a national target it is failing to meet.
Campaign to Protect Rural England Oxfordshire director, Helen Marshall, called the plan "horrific" and said it was driven by economic motivation. She said: "Some villages, such as Great Coxwell and Sutton Courtenay, are being changed beyond all recognition.
"These numbers are being driven by economic plans for Oxfordshire that envisage a huge net migration of people into the county.
"However, no one has asked the current residents whether this is what is wanted or needed."
Vale council leader Matthew Barber said economic growth did have an effect on the SHMA, but he denied that the Vale was trying to boost growth by building as many houses as possible. He said that Oxfordshire councils had been required to carry out the SHMA assessment according to Government guidelines.
He added: "The risk of coming up with our own numbers is that you get it wrong, and then an inspector tells you you have wasted a year."
The other four Oxfordshire districts – Oxford City, West Oxfordshire, Cherwell and South Oxfordshire – are due to publish their own SHMA figures next month. The Vale is planning to build 5,500 homes in Didcot and Harwell, 610 in Abingdon and 1,730 in villages near Abingdon, as well as other new sites.
It says the Harwell Oxford campus, which has been earmarked to receive £14m from the Government's City Deal for Oxford, has 99 hectares of land available that could be developed, and estimates that 5,400 jobs will be created there in coming years.
The public can comment on the plan at http://whitehorsedc.gov.uk/ localplanpartone until April 4.
Other district council's local plans:
- Cherwell – submitted its Local Plan 2006 - 2031 to the Government in January. It is due to be adopted later this year.
- South Oxfordshire – adopted its Local Plan to 2027 in 2012.
- West Oxfordshire – delayed its Local Plan 2029 to accommodate new SHMA figures.
- Oxford city – the Oxford Local Plan 2001-2016 was adopted on November 11, 2005.

The affiliation of dogmas to the Holy Scriptures
The affiliation of dogmas to the Scriptures is a hermeneutic one. The problem posed by Western theologians, after the Reform Era, as to whether we have one or two "sources of divine revelation" as they were named, denotes the specific concern between Roman Catholics and Protestants, given that the latter had rejected the authority of the Tradition of the Church, and had introduced the principle of "sola scriptura" (=only the scripture). In Orthodox Theology, the problem was posed through the so-called "Orthodox Confessions" of the 17th century (prev.ref.). Thus, depending on the deviation of these "confessions" (Mogilas=Roman Catholicism, Cyril Loukaris=Calvinism, etc.), the answer was –and continues to be- provided by the Orthodox. The West was led into this concern for two reasons, which do not apply in Orthodoxy:
1. The West lacked the element that a revelation is always something personal, and never something logical or intellectual. God revealed Himself to Abraham, to Moses, to Paul, to the Fathers, etc.. Consequently, it is never an issue of a "new" revelation, or an "addition" to a revelation, or even a case of John's Revelations being "incremented", as suggested even by Orthodox theologians.
2. In the West, an objectification of the Scriptures and the Church had become prevalent to such an extent, that expressions such as "treasuries" of the truth were coined. But in Orthodox tradition, both the Scripture and the Church are considered to be testimonies of experience of the truth, and not merely "masterminds" that perceive, record and transmit truths. This is because the truth in Orthodox Tradition is not a matter of objective, logical proposals; the truth consists of (personal) stances and relations between God, mankind and the world. (For example, I do not become acquainted with the truth by intellectually knowing and finally accepting that God is Triune; it is only when I am personally involved existentially in the Triadic existence of God, through which my entire being –as well as the world's– acquires a meaning. In this way, any ordinary, everyday woman who is however a proper member of the Church, can "know" the dogma of the Trinity. The same applies for Christology etc.). But we shall go into this topic of Gnosiology in more detail, later.
Consequently, if the Revelation of God is a matter of personal experience and a broader implication of man in a lattice of relations with God, with fellow-man and the world, and if it pours new light onto overall existence, then the Scripture that testifies to this Revelation is considered complete, both from the aspect of the Revelation's content, as well as for every other similar kind Revelation pursuant to the composing of the Bible's Canon. We must add the following clarifications here:
Even though in every case of such personal and existential revelations, the revelations are of the One and Only God, the means by which they are revealed differ; for instance, on Mount Sinai we have a revelation of God Himself, which is revealed to us in Christ, but not in the same way. With Christ, we are enabled not only to see or hear God, but to actually touch Him, to feel Him, to commune with Him physically: "Who was from the beginning, Whom we heard, Whom we saw and Whom our hands touched". (John I, 1:1). The divine epiphanies of the Old Testament, and subsequently in the New Testament, while having the same content, are not revealed in the same way. And, because a Revelation –as we said– is not a matter of objective knowledge but a personal relationship, the form of a Revelation is of vital importance because it introduces new relationships, or in other words, new existential ways.
(The matter of relations between Old and New Testaments is historically very old in Patristic Theology, and it was solved through the Theology of saint Irineos, who dramatically corrected Justin's teaching on the Logos, and was later formulated excellently by Saint Maximus the Confessor, in his principle that stated: "the contents of the Old Testament are the shadow, the contents of the New Testament are the image, and the (contents of) the things to come is the truth.")
Consequently, in the person of Christ we have a unique form of revelation that is characterized by communion with the senses (vision, touch, taste, etc., as per the passage of John I, 1:1 where we read: «and Whom our hands touched»), and not only with the mind or the heart. This is why this way was judged by the Fathers as being the supreme and fullest way. Nothing is superior to Christophany (Christ being revealed): "Whomsoever has seen me, has seen the Father". Thus, the New Testament –in which is recorded the experience of those people who had this physical communion with God ("Whom we saw and Whom our hands touched") – gives meaning to both the Theophanies (God being revealed) in the Old Testament, as well as those that followed, after the Bible. In fact, the Fathers (Irineos and others) maintain that after the Incarnation of the Logos, we have a fuller and newer form of revelation than that of the Old Testament. In respect to the Disciples, this superiority is attributed to their tangible and physical association with Christ; in respect to the subsequent Church, this superiority is attributed to the Sacraments and especially in the Eucharist, which has preserved this physical communion (see Ignatius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria etc.). Those who participate deservedly in the Divine Eucharist, can "see" God much better than Moses.
Thus, the entire life of the Church draws the revelation of God from the event of the historical Christ, as recorded in the New Testament. And that is why the New Testament has the status of an exceptional and primeval dogma, compared to which, all other revelatory means (including the Old Testament and subsequent dogmas) comprise renditions of it, in the more profound, existential sense of the word, i.e. the means of experiencing existence, as a new relationship between God, mankind and the world.
Conclusion: Neither the rendering of the New Testament or the dogmas can circumvent the event and the person of Christ, because that would require the insertion of a new kind of revelation, fuller and superior to that of Christ. We can draw a great number of individual conclusions from this, but I will note only the following:
Α. The Divine Eucharist, as the exceptional form of tangible communion –and therefore cognizance- of God, remains forever the highest and most perfect form of God's revelation, in its personal, existential sense ("and Whom our hands touched").
Β. The viewings of God (every form of Theophany), whether through holy icons or through the ascetic experience, are viewings of the Uncreated Light, always in the form that it is revealed in Christ, and not independent of it; in other words, they are essentially Christophanies. (This should be stressed, in order to avoid misunderstandings that are unfortunately beginning to increase in number). As proof of this, it suffices to mention that, as regards the icons, the entire argumentation of saints John the Damascene, Theodore the Studite etc Iconophiles is: that Christ's incarnation imposes the veneration of icons as forms of God's revelation; and as for the Uncreated Light, that this light was understood by the holy Esychasts to be the Taborian Light, in other words, as a partaking of the light that radiated from the historical body of Christ.
Getting back to the association between Scripture and dogmas, we therefore note that every dogma, regardless to what it pertains (even the issue of the Holy Trinity), is essentially a memorandum to the event of Christ, through which God is revealed as an existential experience of a relationship, in other words, as truth. It is not by chance, that, for instance, the 1st Ecumenical Council (Synod), while founding the Trinitarian theology, also did this on the pretext and the basis of the truth regarding the Person of Christ. The same was done by all the pursuant Ecumenical Councils, even though they were also preoccupied with all other issues.
This indicates that the Apostolic experience that is recorded in the Bible comprises the first dogma, which is then interpreted by all the other dogmas. It is therefore impossible for any dogma to impinge on this experience; it can only interpret it. The Apostolic experience and tradition is of decisive importance for the dogma. In this way, we have a consecutiveness of dogmas, a sequence of dogmas, which resemble icons of Christ that are painted by different people in different eras, and with the means that every era had at its disposal.
This sequence is both external (= a fidelity to the preceding tradition and finally to the Bible), and also internal (= a preservation of the same existential relationship between God, mankind and the world, as fulfilled and revealed in Christ).

On April 9, the school committee will vote on a new athletic-eligibility rule that says students at Quincy's two high schools who fail more than one "major" course – English, history, math, science and foreign language – can't play sports. Right now, students can fail two courses and still participate in school athletic programs
Quincy - While attending North Quincy High School in the 1960s, Paul Bregoli said students had to pass all their courses – or else they couldn't play sports.
Five decades later, city students can fail two classes and still play high school sports. Bregoli, now a school committee member said he knows of several football players who played in the Quincy-North Quincy High School Thanksgiving game despite failing two classes in the first academic term.
On April 9, the school committee will vote on a new eligibility rule proposed by Bregoli that says students at Quincy's two high schools who fail more than one "major" course – English, history, math, science and foreign language – can't play sports.
"The kids are not there to play sports. The kids are there to get an education," Bregoli said.
Bregoli, the varsity girls' soccer coach at North Quincy High School, considered proposing an outright no-failing-allowed rule, but committee members decided that wouldn't be fair to students who struggle in one subject, such as math or science.
The school committee looked at requirements in other local towns and found that some were more strict than Quincy, requiring athletes to maintain at least a C average, while others were just as lenient, allowing athletes to fail at least two courses.
"If we raise the bar, the students will raise the bar," said Kathryn Hubley, the school committee's vice chair. "We want them to do their best."
Laura Owens, assistant to the school superintendent, said 20 percent of Quincy's high school students play sports.
Bregoli said he'll ask the city's high school principals to require all coaches to monitor their athletes' academic progress and put kids on probation, temporarily preventing them from practicing or playing games, if they are failing any courses.
Bregoli urged parents who want to comment on the eligibility changes to attend the April 9 committee meeting, to start at 7 p.m. in city hall.

Webinar Details Health Care Law Complexities
December 14, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Webinar Details Health Care Law Complexities
Now we know why Congress passed the Patient Protection Affordability Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) without reading the document – it's far too complex and mind-numbing for most everyone to understand.
That was clear after an hour-long webinar presentation Thursday (Dec. 13) by KPA LLC, a dealer services and Internet marketing provider based in Lafayette, Colo. Speakers outlined highlights of the new law and then answered a bevy of questions posed by some of the 613 registered listeners from RV, auto and truck dealerships across the U.S. The RV Learning Center and the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) promoted the event within the RV industry.
Two major takeaways from the session:
• All employers are encouraged to contact their insurance broker for specific questions related to their businesses.
• Everyone should "keep their pencils sharpened" because new details of the controversial law are becoming public daily.
Failure to comply with the new law comes at a high price: the Internal Revenue Service is responsible for conducting audits to make sure employers are in compliance.
Thursday's presenters were: Kristin Kahle, senior vice president and compliance officer for the Benefits Exchange Alliance; Kathryn Carlson, director of HR Management Products for KPA; and John Gregory, vice president at Benefit Exchange Alliance, a KPA partner.
Copies of the Power Point presentation were sent out to all participants later in the day. Carlson told RVBusiness that she expects upward of 1,000 downloads of that presentation in the coming weeks as listeners and others take advantage of the points raised during the program.
Highlights of their presentation and a fact sheet distributed before the webinar follow.
Definition of Large and Small Employers
Each employer will fall into one of two categories – either a small employer or a large employer. The "rule of 50" determines the dividing line and this is important because certain penalties for failure to comply with the new law will be applied only to larger companies
A large employer has 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees. A full-time employee is one who works 30 hours a week or more. The hours of part-time workers are also computed to determine a total employment number. Take the number of hours worked by all part time workers in a month and divide by 120 to determine the full-time equivalency.
For example, an employer that has 40 part time workers who average 21 hours per week would have the equivalent of 28 fulltime workers (40 X 21 X 4 weeks divided by 120 = 28).
2014 Coverage Mandates
Employers with 50 full-time or full time-equivalent employees or more that do not offer coverage to their employees will be subject to penalties if any employee receives a government subsidy for health coverage. The penalty amount is up to $2,000 annually for each full-time employee, excluding the first 30 employees. Employers who offer coverage, but whose employees receive tax credits, will be subject to a fine of $3,000 for each worker receiving a tax credit, up to an aggregate cap of $2,000 per full-time employee. Employers will be required to report to the federal government on health coverage they provide.
Grandfathered Plan Status
A grandfathered health plan is one that was in existence when health care reform was enacted on March 23, 2010. Grandfathered plans are exempt from some of the health care reform requirements. A plan's grandfathered status will continue to affect its compliance obligations from year to year.
• Determine if you have a grandfathered plan. Contact your insurance broker or plan representative if you have questions about whether your plan is grandfathered.
• Determine whether your plan will maintain its grand- fathered status. If you make certain changes to your plan that go beyond permitted guidelines, your plan is no longer grandfathered. Contact an insurance broker or plan representative if you have questions about changes you have made, or are considering making, to your plan.
Summary of Benefits and Coverage
Plans and insurance issuers must provide a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) to participants and beneficiaries.
• The SBC is a concise document – no more than four double-sided pages – providing simple and consistent information about health plan benefits and coverage in plain language.
• A template for the SBC is available, along with instructions and examples for completing the template and a uniform glossary of terms.
The final SBC regulations provide that plans and issuers must start providing the SBC as follows:
• Issuers must provide the SBC to health plans effective Sept. 23, 2012.
• Plans and issuers must provide the SBC to participants and beneficiaries who enroll or re-enroll during an open enrollment period beginning with the first day of the first open enrollment period that begins on or after Sept. 23, 2012.
• For participants who enroll in coverage other than through an open enrollment period (for example, newly eligible individuals and special enrollees), plans and issuers must provide the SBC beginning on the first day of the first plan year that begins on or after Sept. 23, 2012.

Because of your loyal and continued support, BioTRUST Nutrition was recently able to make a $10,000.00 donation to the Williams Syndrome Association. You see, one of our very own team members—Nathan and his wife Mindy—have a daughter named Irene who was born with Williams Syndrome. Arguably the sweetest girl that you'll ever meet, Irene is truly a blessing to her family, friends, and all of those who are fortunate to be touched by her life.
Williams Syndrome (WS) is a genetic condition that is present at birth, and it affects 1 in 10,000 people worldwide. It is typically characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning disabilities.
Interestingly, these occur side-by-side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities, and an affinity for music. These extra special gifts allow children with WS to be very social, friendly, and endearing, which brings great joy and perspective to all lives that these children touch. Irene is a classic example, as you are guaranteed to smile and feel better seconds within meeting her.
However, children and adults with WS and their families face major struggles and financial obstacles. Many babies face life-threatening cardiovascular issues, and the ongoing cost for medical care, physical and occupational therapies, learning disabilities, and more for WS patients of all ages can take an exceptional toll.
The goal of the Williams Syndrome Association is to enrich the lives of individuals and families affected by Williams Syndrome. 100% of all donations go to support groundbreaking research, provide national conventions, camps, scholarships, adult programming, regional events, and so much more.
We are thrilled to be able to contribute to such a wonderful cause, and we have you to thank. If you would like to learn more about Williams Syndrome, the Williams Syndrome Association, or make a donation to this noteworthy organization, please visit the link below:
We cannot thank you enough for your continued support of our brand of premium nutritional supplements and our mission to help make this world a better place. We couldn't do it without you!

A Los Angeles sales tax hike being promoted as vital to preserving public safety and helping end years of budget deficits is drawing support from a narrow majority of likely voters, according to a new USC Price/L.A. Times poll.
Fifty-three percent of surveyed voters said they definitely or probably would vote for Proposition A, which is on Tuesday's ballot and would raise $200 million a year by boosting the city's sales tax rate by half a cent to 9.5%, one of the highest in the state.
About 41% of respondents said they expected to vote against the measure, while 6% were undecided. The results offer hope to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other backers of Proposition A, which needs 50% plus one of the vote to pass.
GRAPHIC: Contributions to Yes on Prop. A
Because of the poll's 4.4-percentage-point margin of error, support could dip below 50% and passage can't be taken for granted, said Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC. "On one hand, [Proposition A] enjoys a fairly sizable lead in the polls," he said. "On the other hand, margins this close to 50% should always be cause for concern for an initiative's proponents."

We already know mobile accessories maker Griffin for its tough as hell smartphone and tablet cases. Models like the Protector and Survivor are the kind of cases we could actually imagine surviving a zombie apocalypse.
But for some people, protection doesn't mean much unless it looks good. Sure, some may dig the utilitarian charm of a rugged case. But there are others still who'd prefer a much less macho look, a case that says high-end cool, a case with a little glamour and a fashionable edge, but that does the job nonethless.
And that's exactly what you get from today's mobile accessory of the week. Versatile as ever, leading mobile accessories label Griffin has come out with a line of ultra cool iPhone 5 cases under the banner of their Moxy collection.
With an edge and style worthy of a spot in even the best fashionista's wardrobe, Grffin's Moxy cases come in a trendy range of colors, textures and patterns, adding some serious designer appeal to your iPhone 5.
From their textured snakeskin Moxy Python iPhone case, to the intense black and pink combo of their leopard print Moxy Cat iPhone case, Griffin finds itself leading the competition in terms of both cool and quality.
That's because Griffin puts the same protective, multilayer design to work in their fashion-forward cases and skins as they would with simpler, more standard designs.
In the case of the Moxy line, you get a smooth rubber-finish lining that protects your iPhone from scratches and smudges, along with a tough polycarbonate shell around the back and edges for impact resistance.
So even though Griffin's iPhone 5 Moxy cases stand up to the rest of your wardrobe in terms of cool, they're also hard to beat in terms of functionality, protection and performance.

Japan Airlines Co. reported a battery malfunction on a Boeing Co. Dreamliner parked at Narita Airport in Tokyo, a year after the advanced jetliner was grounded worldwide for battery problems.
JAL 9201, +0.87% said white smoke was detected Tuesday at around 4:15 p.m. Tokyo time by a mechanic who was checking the cockpit before the plane was to depart for Bangkok that evening. The mechanic saw the smoke just outside the window and it was gone by the time the person went outside to check.
A check of cockpit displays soon after showed signs of problems in the main battery and its charger, JAL said. When the battery was checked, the mechanic found that a relief port had vented on one of the eight lithium-ion cells that are contained in each battery and that liquid had sprayed inside the battery container.
JAL and Boeing BA, -1.32% said they were looking into the cause of the incident. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it was working with Boeing and the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau to investigate. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said it was ready to assist Japanese authorities.
Boeing said it had notified other airlines that operate the 787 but hadn't advised them to take any action. Other carriers, including United Continental Holdings Inc., UAL +4.82% the only U.S. operator of the aircraft, continued to fly their Dreamliners on Tuesday.

Sucks for RB divers, but I've been told that very few people actually take a cave RB course. They just get a cave card then move to RB in the cave. The comments were that unforunately it lends to too many people not knowing how to properly calculate bailout requirements. I'm not a RB diver, so I don't know how true this is. Considering a "seasoned diver" died because they couldn't calculate the proper gas needed for a dive to Sweet Surprise, I'm not surprised they made that decision.
that's weird. what about gue rebreather divers?
I wonder if this will popularize a "crossover" CCR Cave course.
Hope this isn't true. Been cave diving my rebreather since 2008, full cave in 1998. Won't be paying anyone for crossover.
What a scam right there. I know too many CCR cave divers who don't have the explicit cert and could teach the instructors a thing or two.
How much does a CCR cave cert cost? Is this also the official stance of the agencies? If not what are they doing about it?
What are people going to learn in this class that they haven't already been doing for a decade+?
Am I going to need a CCR DPV Cave, CCR Stage Cave, Technical CCR Cave, and Trimix CCR Cave, rEvo CCR Cave Trimix, SF2 CCR Cave Trimix, and SF2 Sidemount CCR Cave Trimix Crossovers, down the road too? Where does this stop?
I was wondering what changes would take place with Rose leaving. Guess it'll be JB for me, SAD
I can confirm that this is true. Was denied there last week.
We brought up the GUE question at Ginnie. And from what I was told from the girl who is the one kicking people out, Ginnie is causing GUE to rewrite their curriculum. You will need to have a GUE CCR CAVE course or at least be vetted by a GUE CCR cave instructor and specifically have "CCR" and "CAVE" written on your GUE card to enter.

COMMENTARY – In the immediate and extended aftermath of last year's marathon bombings, we bore witness to the heroic actions of first responders, the incidental senselessness of such a gutless and cowardly attack and the powerful union of a running and a societal community.
This year, the 118th running of the Boston Marathon will arguably be the most culturally significant road race in the history of our country. Yet, as a participant, it is impossible to think about this race without remembering what happened during the last. And I cannot possibly consider any personal achievement without first considering the pain.
Last April, Rebekah Gregory had traveled from Texas to meet her New York boyfriend, Pete DiMartino, and watch his mom finish the race. It was to be an exciting trip because she was going to introduce her 6-year-old son, Noah, to her long-distance companion for the very first time. They were standing less than 10 feet away from where the first bomb went off.
"We had a group of nine with us," she told me. "Pete, Noah and I were the closest."
The force of the blow simultaneously shattered her left leg and her life. Confusion and chaos erupted. There was blood and bone everywhere. She frantically screamed and searched for her son and listened through ruptured eardrums for any response. Miraculously, Noah escaped with minor injuries. But through a riotous and smoky haze, Rebekah Gregory heard a first responder say, "This is really, really, bad," and she immediately knew she was not as lucky.
"I probably should've died that day," she said. "I believe I didn't because my purpose hadn't been fulfilled. When I was first laying on a ventilator in the ICU, I couldn't talk to my mom because I had tubes down my throat. She gave me a piece of paper and I wrote to her 'God is not finished with me yet.' And I firmly believe that with all of my heart."
With every reason to run toward the darkness, Rebekah Gregory has instead chosen to journey toward the light.
"I think had this not happened, Pete and I wouldn't be getting married," she said. "Not this year at least. We have seen each other at our worst. He dropped everything to move from New York to Texas and take care of me. We have gone through things this year that most people don't go through in a lifetime. I think after this, our bond is pretty much unbreakable."
The couple was married earlier this month and has seen firsthand, as we did, that for every one evil and cowardly delinquent, there are thousands of decent people.
"We have seen the hearts and souls of America," Gregory said. "And at 26 years old, I have learned what it really means to live and appreciate every single moment. We are so thankful to each and every person that roots for our family. It keeps us going."
Incredibly, she has never considered herself a victim.
"I have never asked, 'Why me,'" she said. "Everyone has to go through things and I don't think our trials are greater than anyone else's. There is no way of changing what happened. So instead of asking, 'Why me?' I look for all the lessons I have learned from this."
Despite her remarkable optimism and outlook, one year later Rebekah Gregory still has a long road to travel.
"I have wanted to amputate my leg since day one," she said. "The doctors wanted me to try limb salvage. But 16 surgeries and a zillion procedures later, my leg still doesn't function. And we are finally getting to the point where my doctor will allow my amputation to be done. My leg hasn't worked since April and there is no sense in trying to save something that doesn't want to be saved. After all, a leg is just a leg. But my life is so much more than that."
So here's the thing. It's difficult for me to imagine that 26.2 miles are going to bring any sort of closure to the families of Martin Richard and Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi and Sean Collier. And it is impossible to envision that the completion of this historic course is going to aid in the recovery of Dic Donohue and Jeff Bauman and Heather Abbott and Rebekah Gregory.
But if I could offer one thing to every victim, I would offer this:
There is no force greater than that of a single-minded group of runners. And for this one day, I hope you feel the weight of your burdens lifted by the strength of 36,000 pairs of arms. And I wish, with all my heart, that for one day your struggles are lessened by the reverberating sounds of the unified foot strikes from Hopkinton to Boston.
In the grand scheme of your past year, I recognize that this is a very small and symbolic gesture. But I promise that it is delivered to you straight from the heart of Boston.

Kite gear breaks, right? Yup, you bet it does and with the loading and wear some bits may break sooner than others. Things like BRIDLE LINES for instance. This article deals with this consideration alone, there are still other aspects of kite gear that demand regular inspection and preventative maintenance. If a bridle breaks at a minimum your kite might stop flying or worse it might continue to fly, spiraling out of control and perhaps even with some power. Ideally if you sheet out the power should go if things work as planned but who needs to experiment with this stuff particularly in powered conditions? Short answer, no one, don't mess with it and avoid bridle breakage.
The following ideas were collected from discussions with Paul Menta with The Kitehouse, Garry Mink with Cabrinha and Thomas Gaehwiler with Best R&D.
Check gear EVERY TIME you tear it down, POST-Flight inspection. In the rush to ride, guys may not bother to take the time to do this right during PRE-flight checks.
1. Paul says to look at bridles for fraying, change in diameter and color loss. Compress line together and look closely at braid for evidence of wear.
Some industry reps say based upon riding frequency and conditions, plan to change out bridle lines every 3 to 6 months and based upon condition.
2. Pull line back and forth through pulleys to check for function, lack of binding.
3. Thomas, Paul and Garry all say to ALWAYS WASH OFF METAL PULLEYS AND LINE WITH FRESH WATER. The accumulated salt cake, sand and grit can severely reduce the useful life of pulleys.
4. Examine pigtails using techniques described in #1 above. You may need to replace them along the same time schedule as bridals.
5. Look at line attachment points on control bar assembly for wear or fraying and replace if necessary.
6. Look at chicken loop line for wear, fibers sticking out horizontally, replace before failure!
7. Carefully examine flight lines for wear points. Regular tricks can wear lines at specific points with repeated twisting under load.
Other considerations follow:
1. Consider where you ride and how. Are there rocks that can nick or fray bridle, leader or flight lines? Do you solo launch and land to where added wear may occur? Do you ride in higher or lighter winds? All these factors need to be considered in estimating wear and replacement intervals for bridle, leader and flight lines.
2. Every 6 months PLAN on having to replace bridle, leader and flight lines and pigtails. Depending on the above factors and other considerations you may need to replace them more or less frequently.
3. Check flight lines for relative length at least once every 3 months.
4. Examine and wiggle pulleys every session, replace if binding or excessive wear occurs.
5. Garry suggested keeping your bar and lines attached to your bow kite. He described carefully winding your lines up on your bar tightly in figure 8's right up to the center of the kite. He then loops the built in bungie over one end of the bar and line. The other bungie is looped through the pump leash attachment point on the leading edge of the kite. You then roll the kite up conventionally leaving the bar inside. Garry has faster and easier setup using this technique and if you need to you are already setup for boat launch or assisted launch from the shallows in areas without suitable beaches.
Do replacements cost? Sure they do but a small fraction of what your kite set you back. Best to take care of both and the rider too while you're at it.

Guthrie's passenger train days described in old stories
I've happened upon a couple of interesting passages about changing trains at Guthrie, KY.
"A Special Providence" is the story of Mrs. Melissa Allgood, who is on the train alone. She's a 34-year-old widow who has been traveling with a Holiness band, singing in the towns of central Kentucky. She listens sympathetically to the problems of another traveler, an old gentleman, and before long, he announces that God wants him to marry her when the train stops in Guthrie. The tale of his pursuit and her escape appear in an amusing book, Stories of a Sanctified Town, written by Lucy S. Furman and published in 1896 by the Century Company, New York.
Lucy S. Furman was a Kentucky writer. She wrote Widow Allgood's story in a dialect that is amazingly authentic, to this day. (Let me just be blunt: I mean that some people still talk that way!)
Lucy Furman (1870-1958) was a novelist whose writing has considerable charm even today. Born in Henderson and graduated from Sayre Institute in Lexington, she spent much of her life in Hindman as a house-mother at the Hindman Settlement School. After she left Hindman she became a crusader against cruelty to animals. The Lonesome Road (1927) is often cited as the strongest of her five novels.
Source: KYLIT - A site devoted to Kentucky Writers
The other story of changing trains in Guthrie is not so funny. Two Tennessee lawmen are transporting a prisoner to Nashville, but they must change trains at Guthrie, KY, just across the state line. As they wait for the Nashville train to arrive, they discuss whether they have any legal authority while they are out of the state of Tennessee. This chapter is titled, "A Noted Individual Shuffles Off This Mortal Coil and Leaves the World None the Poorer", and it is part of The K. K. K., a fiction written by C.W. Tyler and published in 1902 by the Abbey Press, New York.
C.W. Tyler was a judge in Clarksville, TN, just 30 miles or so from where I live. He would certainly have known all about going to Guthrie to get on the train to Nashville. His book, according to a 1904 New York Times review, demonstrates the flaws of vigilante groups and of conventional law enforcement, but suggests that a responsible K. K. K. "is at least excusable in exercising a sort of fatherly care over the community." I wonder how many times Judge Tyler stretched or ignored the law in favor of the Klan.
I am sure that all sorts of people passed through the depot at Guthrie.

Ballpark History
Through the years...
The current home of the Potomac Nationals was originally known as Davis Ford Park, named after the main road outside the stadium. Two years later the stadium was renamed Prince William County Stadium, as it was known for nine years. Before the start of the 1995 season, the ballpark was renamed again in honor of Prince William County Board of Supervisors member G. Richard Pfitzner. As a county supervisor, Pfitzner led the charge to bring the Alexandria Dukes to Prince William County.
Upon their relocation, the Alexandria Dukes became the Prince William Pirates, after their parent club, Pittsburgh. They later adopted the name of another parent club, the Yankees, before finally taking on a local nickname. The club played as the Prince William Cannons from 1989-1998. In 1999, the Cannons adopted the name Potomac Cannons to better represent their fan base, which covers much of the Northern Virginia region. When the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington, DC, and became the Washington Nationals, the Cannons became the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Nationals and once again adopted the name of their parent club.
Eight former Major League players and one Major League manager have spent time at what has become affectionately know as "The Pfitz." Five-time National League MVP and all-time home run leader Barry Bonds played his first professional baseball on the grounds of Pfitzner Stadium. Mike Cameron, who once hit four home runs in a single Major League game in 2002, once played here. Pfitzner Stadium alumni and current club Hall of Fame members include Bonds, Magglio Ordonez, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte, Bobby Bonilla, Albert Pujols and club owner Art Silber.
Through the years "The Pfitz" has undergone numerous expansions and upgrades, including the ticket office structure out front, the field box seating sections behind first and third base and the picnic area. This season, Pfitzner Stadium received its biggest upgrade in years with the installation of a new video board.
The Potomac Nationals set a record for attendance at "The Pfitz" on July 4 of last season, as 10,789 fans came out to see the game and subsequent fireworks show. The season attendance record of 220,146 was set in 1998.

This is my interpretation of the design competition. I have effectively ended up doing 3 designs. Although I have never taken a sewing course or a fashion design one, I am just one of those people who has a natural knack for designing and understanding patterns. Most of my expertise and experience comes from trial and error. I enclose the original instructions for the designs which come from Indygo Junction and have made my own adaptations. I made the jacket as is from a A4 piece of paper but I only read the first 3 lines of the middle section of the instructions( NEXT TO PATTERN DRAWING) as the rest was of no interest to me (probably a habit I have not shaken off since starting school – not nursery- school at the age of 2) it is quite simple to understand averages even when you are not a maths genius!!
I understand maths and how to get the results, but unfortunately I am not known to explain this clearly to anyone, hence the reason why I never write down instructions on the projects I place here, but in this instance I will endeavour to do my best and invite anyone interested to email and ask and will attempt to assist as best I can.
I apologise in advance but I do live in my head, I have composed drawings to show you the adaptations to the original pattern and have also taken photos – I hope this helps.
For the Design Challenge I have chosen:-
1- Bed jacket = 2 interpretations/Jacket redesign
2-Slip-On Jumper Dress = 1 redesign
So effectively I am making 3 designs which I am adding a MODERN TWIST TO.
also enclosed you will find the original instructions copied from INDYGO JUNCTION SITE.

Man arrested in North Tonawanda woman's death
The man sought in connection with the death of a North Tonawanda woman was arrested and charged Saturday with second-degree murder.
Brian C. Lowry faces felony charges in the death of 34-year-old Heather M. Rylowicz, whose body was found in her Lincoln Avenue home Wednesday.
Lowry was located by North Tonawanda police with the assistance of Buffalo police. After he was interviewed by North Tonawanda detectives, he was arrested and charged.
Though police described Lowry, 32, as an acquaintance of the slain woman, Lowry's Facebook page asserts that there was a romantic relationship between the two.
"I have the best girlfriend (Heather) in the world!!" Lowry wrote on his Facebook profile.
In a Sept. 10 post, Lowry wrote, "I LOVE YOU MY PRINCESS HEATHER!!!"
Police had refused to speculate about how the woman died but did classify her death as a homicide after an autopsy reached that conclusion Friday.
Lowry is from Ypsilanti, Mich., where he graduated from Lincoln High School in 1998, according to his Facebook profile.
According to her Facebook profile, Rylowicz worked at Glidden Machine and Tool in North Tonawanda.
Rylowicz was from Brocton in Chautauqua County, where she graduated from Brocton Central Schools in 1997. She also attended Jamestown Community College, according to her Facebook profile.
Neighbors said Rylowicz was friendly and was fond of playing with her dog in the rear of the two-story home.
One neighbor said arguments between the victim and her boyfriend were common a few months ago, but they didn't recall police ever responding to the home.
Neighbors initially alerted police about their concern for the woman's well-being after mail began piling up at the house and her dog was seen in the window. Rylowicz – who was known to have kept an otherwise routine schedule – hadn't been seen by neighbors, which was unusual for her, they said. The woman's car had also been away from the home for two weeks or so, according to neighbors' reports.
Police released few details about Lowry or any apparent motive for the homicide.

Cropped Inky Blue PJ Lounge Pants
Added Jan 6, 2012
by jenss-1
New York, New Yo...
This project is part of my quest for the perfect pjs, made here in some polyester satin that I bought by accident online some time ago. (Always double check the shopping cart from now on!) The goal was to make pajama pants that were comfortable and yet did not look like elephant pants (in reference to the rear view). Started out with McCall's 5248, which I have used before and did not like. The original fit of the pattern was not good (on me) and the photo on the pattern envelope should have been a clue. Amongst other problems, the tapered legs are not flattering. So—for this version I straitened out the the legs and also added some depth to the crotch seam. I didn't have enough fabric for full length pants and so I added the cuffs; still slightly cropped. The original pattern just called for a drawstring. I added sewn in elastic (wide), made the casing wider, and a wider drawstring that can be tied in a bow. They are almost perfect for my purpose. Will need a few fit adjustments yet before I make them again in silk.
Material Notes
polyester satin, 1-1/4" wide soft elastic, rayon thread for topstitching

Thanks. I'm thinking about adapting a regular pants pattern next since most pj patterns seem to be too simplified… Good luck too!
Feb 2, 2012, 01.08 PMby wardrobe-cat
I am fairly determined. So many factors to consider… Comfort, sassiness, sleep proof, can cook in them without going up in flames, presentable at the front door when a suprise visitor turns up (or the meter reader), pat-worthy, looks good. AARRGGGG!!!! The hunt continues…

We will install OnlineGlom in a Tomcat server. The instructions for installing tomcat are beyond the scope of this document. However, this might help on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html
.glom file and configuration
These instructions assume that you have a PostgreSQL setup on your server with your glom database already loaded.
- The first thing you need to do is scp your .glom file to your server.
- Now set your PostgreSQL username, password and the location of the glom file in the OnlineGlom configuration properties file:
Deploying java-libglom
NOTE: This assumes that the server has the same architecture and installed dependencies as your locale machine.
- Setup java-libglom in your home directory on your server. You can use the instructions listed in the Building and Running section above but you'll need to change a couple of things. You don't need to install the jar into a local maven repository so you don't need to install maven2 with apt-get. You should also turn off the installation of the java-libglom jar into your local maven repository.
- Copy java-libglom.modules to your home directory and edit it to remove this string:
- Edit ~/.jhbuildrc and change the moduleset option to the location of the java-libglom.modules file you just copied into your home directory. Change this line:
moduleset = 'http://gitorious.org/online-glom/java-libglom/blobs/raw/master/tools/build/java-libglom.modules'
- to this:
moduleset = 'file://' + os.path.expanduser('~/java-libglom.modules')
- If you've already setup java-libglom and you just want to use the latest version from git master, run this set of commands:
jhbuild cleanone java-libglom && jhbuild buildone java-libglom
- Tomcat needs to be able to "see" the .so from java-libglom so you need to edit /etc/default/tomcat6 and add the absolute path to the directory that has the java-libglom .so. Look for 'java.library.path' and add '/home/yourusername/gnome/install/lib64' to the first entry of that setting. Here's what that setting looks like on my server:
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Djava.library.path=/home/ben/gnome/install/lib64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/../lib/amd64:/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib"
- You only need to configure tomcat like this once. NOTE: This is a big hack that will go away when java-libglom packages show up for various Linux distros.
- Once tomcat is configured, copy the java-libglom jar in the tomcat lib directory. Since java-libglom uses jni it can only be loaded once and must not be included in the war. The proper place for it is $CATALINA_HOME/lib which is defined as /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/ on Ubuntu 10.04. More information about this issue can be found in the Tomcat 6 release notes in the "JNI Based Applications" section:
- http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
- This is the command to run to copy the jar in into the correct directory:
sudo cp ~/gnome/install/share/java/java-libglom-0.1.jar /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/
Deploying gwt-glom
- Alright stop. It's compile time! These instructions assume your in the gwt-glom directory.
- Clean-out the target directory:
rm -rf target/* target/.*
- This isn't always necessary but I do it every time because I've encountered too many problems with mismatched GWT versions.
- Now compile the Java code, run the GWT to Javascript compilation and package up the war:
mvn clean package
- And scp the war to your server:
scp target/gwt-glom-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war servername.com:
- Finally we can deploy the war.
- Stop tomcat:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
- Copy the war to the deployment directory:
sudo cp ~/gwt-glom-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/OnlineGlom.war
- Start tomcat
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
- You can test your deployment by loading http://yourserver.com:8080/OnlineGlom into your browser.

Personally I'm still waiting for a season where there arent so many perfect people, I would like to see more "real" people, yes I know the world probally deesnt want to see the gravity sticken, celulite ridden, and thining hair people of the work in binkinis. But hey it might be fun to see a season where there were more of the average american rather then the hollywood/actor wanttabees.
The only thing I complain about is how the house has a lack of "size". I don't think there's ever been a big-boned person in the house. Ever. Correct me if I'm wrong.(Just so you know, I plan on fixing this if this is the case by applying next season.)
This is a discussion that's probably best left in some psychology classroom somewhere. Big Brother is not cast based on diversity for God's sake. It's meant to be entertaining, and meant to accomplish that by putting people in a fishbowl and just watching.Now I've been married for 40+ years and have 8 grandkids. I'm the first generation born in this country as both of my parents were born in Ireland. Does this mean that I should be offended that there aren't more "baby-boomers" (we do comprise about 50% of the population), or overweight, balding Irishmen that still see themselves as Celtic Warriors? Where are all the whiskey drinkers dammit?My wife and I have been enjoying this show as our summer guilty pleasure since season 2 (with the possible exception of "the season which shall not be named") and laughed, screamed, loved and hated whoever we wanted to no matter what age, size, ethnicity or other demographic label they might be. Somehow, that never factored into the equation.If the thought never crossed your mind until you read it somewhere, then stop reading there for goodness sake. Forget the labels and just enjoy the show.For me, I gotta go! We live on the East Coast and it's time for my wife and I to go figure who we're going to love/hate/cheer/boo/etc. Please just enjoy the show along with us
Go for it Mandoli! You know we'd be voting like mad to help you whenever we could.

Cowboys Extra Points: Safety First and Practice Makes Perfect
The Cowboys trimmed their roster on Saturday to the mandatory 53 players, but after 24 hours several players cleared waivers and eight of the players were signed to the practice squad.
Practice squad players are WR Jesse Holley, OG Travis Bright, QB Rudy Carpenter, TE Scott Chandler, FB Julius Crosslin, DE Marcus Dixon, WR Manuel Johnson, and CB Mike Mickens.
Safety Marvin White was claimed off waivers from Cinncinati. White was drafted in 2007 and has started 13 games in the past two seasons.
In addition, Cowboys draftee safety DeAngelo Smith who didn't make the final cut, was claimed off the waivers by the Browns on Sunday.
Forbes released a list of their annual rankings among sports teams and the Dallas Cowboys topped the chart.
The Cowboys are worth $1.65 billion, the most of any U.S.-based sports franchise, according to Forbes magazine's annual rankings. Only Manchester United of the English Premier League is worth more worldwide, $1.87 billion.
The Cowboys lead the rankings for the third straight year and are worth $100 million more than the runner-up Washington Redskins. New England is third at $1.361 billion, followed by the New York Giants ($1.183 billion) and Jets ($1.170 billion).
Now let the haters try to claim the Cowboys aren't America's Team!
Around the League
Chargers star Shawne Merriman was arrested Sunday after his girlfriend, Tila Tequila, accused Merriman of choking and retraining her as she was attempting to leave his home. Merriman has been released and the Chargers say they will monitor the situation and let legal process run its course.
The Patriots have traded 5-time Pro Bowler defensive lineman Richard Seymour to the Raiders for their first round pick in 2011.
The New York Giants released veteran WR David Tyree on Saturday. Tyree is best known for the remarkable catch that helped the Giants win Super Bowl XLII over the Patriots two years ago.

On the same day that the Walt Disney Co. estimated it may lose as much as $190 million on the disastrous "Lone Ranger," a British interview with the filmmakers surfaced in which the creative team blamed the epic failure on ... American critics.
REVIEW: Not even Johnny Depp can save 'The Lone Ranger'
In a junket interview with Yahoo UK/Ireland, "Lone Ranger" stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer said that reviewers torpedoed the film by prejudging it.
"I think the reviews were probably written when they heard that Gore and Jerry and I were going to do 'The Lone Ranger,'" Depp said of the $250-million production, which has grossed just $177 million worldwide to date. "I think that Gore made a very brave film."

A discussion of overused expressions.
Have you ever noticed that certain phrases creep into our patterns of language from time to time and become overused? Like, when a person is describing something and says it's, like, really pretty and like, totally rad, (read radical). It's like, just too, too much, and it can become, like, irritating.
Another phrase that I hear repeated ad nauseum is "Oh my god." When I write about God, I always capitalize, but in this case, I think that would make it blasphemous. It's difficult to find a sitcom on television that does not punctuate most reactions of characters with that phrase, but some have shortened it to "OMG," in deference to LOL and other acronyms so commonly used in the language of computers. If brilliant television writers can come up with intricate plots and complex sub-plots, I wonder if it's necessary to rely on such a phrase so often.
This sort of phraseology is not new. In fact it has probably always been around. I remember way back when during the Watergate hearings when the phrase of the day was, "At this point in time." Lately I've noticed that political pundits and even elected officials use a technique that I find most annoying. Is that the practice of asking and then answering their own questions to make a point? I believe it is. Do I mind hearing that technique used on occasion? Of course not. Do I want to hear a string of questions and answers all from one speaker? Not really. Do I find this technique annoying? Yes, I do.
Our culture has so overused the word love that it no longer has much meaning. I'm especially frustrated when I hear a panelist interview some performer and start out by saying, "We love you." Who is we? I really don't know who they're talking about sometimes. The word "amazing" so often used to describe just about everything that it's, well, amazing. If everything is amazing, it's really no longer amazing. It's like music. If there is no contrast, there's no loud and no soft. It all becomes flat and without character. The beauty of a quiet passage is made even more special when followed by a loud section. I guess it wouldn't be good television for an interviewer who had just seen a movie featuring a particular star and then opening a conversation with that star by saying that they just saw their movie and it was….mediocre. Surely there are adjectives between mediocre and amazing.
All kinds of words are used these days in ways that are contrary to their original meanings. I've heard people refer to race cars as "sweet." Does that mean baklava is fast? It begins to make no sense at all. These days, when someone says a particular thing is bad, that often means it's good. There are many examples of this, but I don't really get them all.
Another phrase that makes no sense to me is, "I always give 110%." Excuse me, but that doesn't make any sense. I don't watch a lot of competitive reality shows, but almost everyone says, "This means the world to me," or some variation of that idea. It just loses significance when every single contestant says the same thing. They also seem to frequently repeat that they really worked hard to get to this point. I should hope so. I have even less desire to watch people who didn't really try at whatever it is they're doing to walk away with the grand prize.
Even the talking heads that bring us news of world events and entertainment fall into this habit. These days, it seems that everything is "iconic." If there are so many icons, it's no longer a very special tag. Perhaps this comes along with twenty year old performers writing their life story. I have been twenty years old several times now, and life is barely started at that time. I think life stories belong to people who have put in a bit more time. It also might be a good idea to look up the meaning of "icon."
Everybody doesn't need to be a great orator, but I would like to think that people who manage to get themselves into a national spotlight could express themselves with some originality. I'm not going to go on and on about this topic. I'd probably fall into the same trap and start using already overused expressions. Over and out.

The year was 1999. Amby Burfoot, the 1968 Boston Marathon champion from Groton, was sick about what he was seeing.
Year after year, American runners had disappeared from among the leaders. Kenyans, Ethiopians, more Kenyans and more Ethiopians, American marathoning? What was that?
"It hurts," Burfoot said that day 18 years ago. "We're not producing. Boston and New York are ours, damn it, and we should have guys who are at least jousting for the victory stand."
With chants of "USA! USA!" urging American runners toward the tape and no longer pleading with them to merely survive, it has grown clear to the hundreds of thousands who line the...

Outdoor News
August 19, 2006
From now until Labor Day is when most of this year's predicted return of 750,000 salmon will swarm into the mouth of the Columbia River.
With rod and reel, the first place you can ambush these fat salmon as they enter the big river is after they've crossed an imaginary north to south line extending from the red navigation buoy with the number 10 stenciled on it.
In case you don't know, Buoy 10 is located south and just west of the Ilwaco channel; but the name "Buoy 10" is also used to describe the entire management zone that extends from the red navigation buoy east to Tongue Point.
This six-mile section is where returning salmon linger before committing to the upstream migration that will eventually lead to the spawning ground or hatchery that produced them.
Most of the Coho salmon are of hatchery origin and thus will return to hatcheries located throughout the lower Columbia basin. Returning Chinook salmon are divided into two distinct groups: "Tule" is the name given to Chinooks that spawn in tributaries located along the mid and lower Columbia.
"Up-River-Bright" is the term used to describe the population that mostly spawns in the last free-flowing section of the Columbia located near Tri Cities - between McNary and Priest Rapids Dam.
Strong river currents and ever-changing ocean tides can make finding salmon, especially biting ones, difficult for those not schooled in understanding when and where salmon can be found at Buoy 10. Truth is: This rather large expanse of water can be broken into three basic areas:
Near Buoy Number 10
From low slack tide through the flood and especially during times when there is a tide exchange of 8 feet or more, (which is the distance from low to high tide) is when the area just east of the number 10 Buoy produces best for mostly Coho Salmon.
If you arrive at low tide or just after, when there is little or no current, you can forward troll the area east of the buoy. Once the tide starts to flood in, your strategy should switch from forward trolling to backtrolling.
The idea is to hold your position (facing west) as fish move into the Columbia with the flooding ocean water. You will find that most fish, especially Coho, will run 10 to 20 feet from the surface.
Realize that low tide at Buoy 10 may not match the time listed in your tide book, and could (in fact) occur up to an hour after the officially listed time.
It just takes that long for the flooding ocean water to slow, stop and finally reverse the Columbia's massive flow. Arriving here too early can mean that the water near Buoy 10 will be fast moving, rough, and unpleasant.
North and South of Desdemona Sands
If you're after Chinook salmon you will likely find the best action trolling in the North and South Channel adjacent to Desdemona Sands. This is the area where Chinook salmon will often hold before committing to their upriver journey. Desdemona Sands is the large sand island located in the middle of the river, mostly west and adjacent to the Astoria-Megler Bridge.
Study your tide book when planning a trip here because this area produces best when there is a small tide exchange (7 feet or less from high to low) and when the AM high tide coincides with daylight. During any given day the best bite will occur from just before high tide through the outgoing tide cycle.
The proven technique in this area is to troll downstream, going (with the flow of the tide), parallel to the island in 20 to 30 feet of water.
Since Chinook like to hug bottom, it's important to keep your gear working there, which can mean you will find the most consistent action following the bottom contours as you proceed west. If you're after Coho, try moving into shallow water, 12 to 20 feet, nearer the island.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (Jan. 11, 2007) - After suffering its first conference loss less than a week ago, the ETSU women's basketball team got back on track Thursday night as they downed Campbell 87-66 inside Carter Gymnasium. With the win, ETSU improves to 8-7, 4-1 A-Sun, while Campbell falls to 3-11, 1-3.
Five Lady Buc players reached double figures tonight, as freshman Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.) led the way with a game-high 20 points. Juniors Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio) and Jenny Norman (Peachtree City, Ga.) combined for 32 points, as DeVault added 17 and Norman finished with 15. Brooke Wilhoit (Sevierville) chipped in with 16, while freshman Devin Thompson (Smyrna) ended with 11. Marlena Murphy led Campbell with 16 points.
Norman started the second half scoring the first five points for the Lady Bucs, as they built a double digit lead for the first time of the game, 47-37. A quick 8-2 run by the Lady Camels cut the lead to four, but they would not get any closer for the rest of the evening. Wilhoit connected on consecutive three-point plays the next two trips down the court for ETSU, which put them back up 10 with 15:41 remaining. Campbell would cut the lead to six, 57-51, at the 11:59 mark, but the Lady Bucs proved to be too much for the host team as they closed out the game on a 30-15 run for the victory.
Despite a sluggish first half start, the Lady Bucs took a 42-37 lead into the break. ETSU turned the ball over seven times over the first five minutes of the game, and trailed 12-7 early on. From there the Lady Bucs calmed down and posted a 9-2 run to take their first lead of the game, 16-14, thanks to a jumper by Holly Moring (Irmo, S.C.) with 12:48 to go before half. The lead would exchange hands between both teams during the next 1:10, until a lay-up by Thompson gave ETSU a 20-19 lead at the 11:09 mark, and the Lady Bucs never trailed the rest of the game.
After letting Campbell shoot 60.7 percent (17-28) in the first half, ETSU would finally buckle down in the second half as they held the Lady Camels to nine field goals on 37.5 percent shooting. The Lady Bucs ended the first frame 17-34 (50 percent) and finished 32-72 (44.4 percent) for the contest. ETSU out-rebounded Campbell, 40-32, making it the fifth straight game they have been better on the boards than its opponent. ETSU also showed the Lady Camels why they are the best free throw shooting team in the conference as they shot 88.2 percent (15-17) from the charity stripe.
For the second time in three games, every ETSU player who dressed got in the game. Last year's A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year Nichelle Akers (Sumter, S.C.) finished with a four steals and a career-best eight assists. To go along with Wilhoit's 16 points, she also tied her career high with seven steals, and moved into fourth on the all-time assists list at ETSU by recording her 342nd career assist.
The Lady Bucs will continue their two-game road swing as they play Gardner-Webb Saturday afternoon. Game time is set for 2 p.m. inside Paul Porter Arena.
