Summit County Fishing Report: Rivers continue to be best options
Rivers continue to be one of the better fishing options at this time. Flows, for the most part, are perfect, water temperatures are still good, and excellent hatches are occurring with regularity. Toss in a few terrestrials, and you have the fly-fisher's dream — although, afternoon storms can quickly discolor the water.
The Upper Colorado River is a great choice at this time. Flows are strong, so use caution wading. Anglers will find solid dry fly action; mayfly and caddis patterns are a good choice. Small stones and hoppers are also worth trying. Nymphing is a good option when there isn't an obvious hatch. Small stones, prince nymphs, San Juan worms and pheasant tails have been productive. Leach patterns and small spinners will also produce in the deeper runs.
Nearby Gore Creek offers anglers a small-stream experience, although it has been running a bit high and off color due to storms as of late. When clear, the dry fly action has been good with caddis and mayfly patterns. Use lighter tippet, as fishing pressure has the fish a tad spooky.
The Eagle River has also been off-colored due to afternoon rain. Come evening, when it's running clear, look for some excellent dry fly action with caddis patterns. On breezy afternoons, ant patterns are a great choice.
Dillon Reservoir continues to produce well. Those looking to kick back with a cooler and fish with bait are seeing decent action in Frisco Bay with dough baits, such as PowerBait. Typically, early mornings are best. Evening anglers have been doing decent with a fly and bubble rig. Slowing down the retrieve (no visible wake) will often produce best.
Pike fishers are doing well right now at Williams Fork Reservoir. The only issue has been size, with most fish running less than 30 inches. Working the deeper edges will often produce a larger fish, and keep moving.
Nearby Sylvan Lake has been seeing damselflies coming off in force. These makes for exciting fishing with large dry flies. Don't hesitate to fish smaller nymphs if the damsels fail to produce. Consider calibaetis, pheasant tails and soft hackles.
Those looking for lake trout might consider Mount Elbert Forebay. Using sucker-tipped jigs vertically jigged in 10 to 30 feet of water has been producing good action. While fish can be taken all day, the evening action has been the best.

Diagnosing Your Cancer
Though ocular melanoma can be lethal and is fairly difficult to recognize by symptoms alone, periodic retinal examinations by an ophthalmologist have the potential to diagnose a problem at an early stage, therefore saving a patient's life.
An examination through a dilated pupil is one of the only ways that a doctor can diagnose ocular melanoma with enough time to save a patient's eye. Although a thorough eye examination by an experienced clinician is the most important procedure for detecting ocular melanoma, ancillary diagnostic testing may also be used. Ancillary diagnostic testing may include fluorescein angiography and ultrasonography.
Fluorescein angiography uses an injection of a fluorescent dye through the hand or arm to allow the photography of the blood vessels in the back of the eye. This procedure is most commonly used to confirm a diagnosis or to create guidelines for a treatment method.
Ultrasonography uses a small probe within the closed eyelid in order to bounce sound waves off of the eyeball. The reflected sound waves produce a 2D image of the interior of the eye, therefore helping a doctor to see abnormal tissues and the blood vessels in the eye.
A CT scan takes a series of detailed pictures of the eye using x-rays and a computer imaging system. These pictures allow doctors to see tumors within the orbits (eye sockets). In some cases, a dye may be injected into a vein so that the tissues are more visible in x-ray images.
An MRI uses a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create images of a targeted area such as the ocular orbits in order to see tumors and irregular tissues.
Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging method that uses light beams and a reference mirror to reflect light on the retinal tissue in order to produce cross-sectional images of ocular tissue.

Your Treatment Options
The treatment method used for ocular melanoma depends not only on the size and location of the tumor (choroid, ciliary body, or iris), but also whether or not the cancer has spread.
The patient's overall health must also be taken into account. The main goals in treating ocular melanoma are to prevent the spread of the tumor and to maintain the patient's vision. The following methods of treatment may be used for the treatment of ocular melanoma:
Observation may be used for the treatment of small or slowly growing ocular tumors. It may also be the best option for those whose cancer is in their only functioning eye. If the cancer grows larger than 10mm in width or 2-3mm in height (thickness), the doctor and the patient may begin to sort through alternate treatment options.
Surgery is a common procedure for the treatment of ocular melanoma. A doctor will remove the affected parts of the eye depending on the size and spread of the tumor.
In some cases, the removal of the eye or enucleation is the only viable treatment option in order to save the patient's life. With the loss of an eye, a patient will have to work through various issues with depth perception and vision. Most patients adjust to these differences within a year.
Most patients are worried about what they may look like after the removal of an eye. There are many cosmetic options and plastic prostheses that can be used to restore a normal looking appearance.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill the cancer. Radiation therapy can be conducted using proton beams (charged particles), brachytherapy (internal radiation), or traditional external radiation. Radiation therapy is a localized therapy that treats only the area surrounding the cancer.
There are often times many side effects to radiation therapy. Radiation to the eye can result in cataracts (cloudy eye lens), loss of eyelashes, or dry eyes. There are methods of treatment that can alleviate symptoms that result from radiation to the eye.
Laser therapy uses heat from lasers to shrink smaller tumors. This method usually has fewer side effects than surgery and radiation therapy.
Emory Eye Center physicians are involved in numerous clinical trials and studies. Being part of a major medical center allows access to collaborative studies not otherwise possible. Emory Eye Center has ongoing clinical trials for the treatment of many eye disorders and diseases.
In addition to delivering the highest quality medical care, we recognize the importance of the psychological and emotional aspects of living with a cancer diagnosis and of dealing with treatment. Our supportive oncology team addresses these issues in a timely manner with additional support from counselors, nurse navigators, dietitians and social service professionals.

It might be a new season, but it was the same old Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park on Sunday night. It was long, it featured dramatic shifts on the scoreboard and it was decided once the starters had gone to the showers. There was also an intensity that forced you to confirm that it was indeed April and not October.
The deciding moment in the game was when Kevin Youkilis scored on a passed ball by Jorge Posada in the bottom of the seventh, as good a reminder of what month it actually is as any calender. The run capped a comeback from a 5-1 deficit built with the help of Curtis Granderson's home run in his first at-bat as a Yankee and a helluva night for Youkilis who doubled twice and tripled. The Yankees also led 7-5, but Chan Ho Park got taken over the Monster by Dustin Pedroia to set up the winning run.
The result was somewhat secondary to the long awaited return of baseball. It was a beautiful day in both New York and Boston, as if the spirits were saying that it was time for baseball to resume its primacy in our sporting lives. That's a good day, win or lose, and we're relatively sure we'd be saying that even if the Yankees had won 10-1.
You don't want to draw any conclusions from the first of 162 games, but you can probably get used to games that run in the vicinity of the three-and-a-half hour-plus affair that you got on Sunday night. The Yankee lineup is as patient as a World War II bride waiting for her husband to make it back from hopping islands across the Pacific -- sorry, that's the usual Sunday night viewing seeping in -- and they make pitchers pay for lapses in concentration.
Josh Beckett was out of gas before the fifth inning was complete thanks to one long at-bat after another and all five runs that he gave up came after he got two outs in an inning. CC Sabathia looked better than his opposite number for much of the night but imploded in a three-run sixth that tied the game while restoring the old maxim that hitters are ahead of pitchers in the early days of the season.
Sabathia wasn't so hot in Baltimore when he started the 2009 season, a thought that will make it easier for many Yankee fans to stomach a loss in an opener that looked like a big win in the early going.
Everyone will sleep late Monday and the Yankees will cede the spotlight to the Mets. The rivals renew animosities on Tuesday with A.J. Burnett and Jon Lester squaring off at Fenway.

Enforcement Investigations
EPAct 2005
The Commission's regulations allow Enforcement staff to conduct investigations relating to any matter subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. The investigative staff initiates investigations from information received through a variety of sources, both internal and external. Internally, information is received from the Division Analytics and Surveillance or other Commission offices, or from the Commission itself, or in the course of another investigation. Externally, information may be received from:
- a Self-Report;
- the Enforcement Hotline;
- a referral from a Market Monitoring Unit for an Independent System Operator or Regional Transmission Organization;
- a Complaint; or
- a referral from another government agency.
All information and documentation received during an investigation, as well as the existence of an investigation, is treated as non-public (only the Commission can authorize the public disclosure of the existence of an investigation or information obtained during an investigation).
More information regarding investigations may be found in the annual staff Reports on Enforcement, which are issued in the last quarter of each calendar year. These annual reports highlight significant investigations, including those that have proceeded to Commission Orders to Show Cause and those litigated in Federal District Court. They also provide descriptions and statistics on settlements, self-reports, investigations, and Hotline matters for the relevant fiscal year.
Our Enforcement Resources page provides a comprehensive list and links to statutes, regulations, Commission orders and policy statements, and staff reports relevant to how the Office of Enforcement conducts its investigations.

5 Steps to Home Wireless Security
Feb 26, 2002 12:00 PM,
Bobby Malik
One of my friends recently bought a wireless router for his home. After he bought the router, he asked me about what he should do—at a minimum—to secure the router. He had the following simple requirements: First, secure the router so that no one except him could change its settings, and second, prevent any unauthorized users from connecting to the router or gaining access to the network.
As most people do, my friend initially set up his router using the product's installation and setup wizard. Using this wizard, he was able to secure the router by changing the administrator password. However, although using a router's setup software to set an administrative password is a good start, it provides only basic security. And in my friend's case, it met only his first requirement.
Chances are, if you're like my friend, your wireless network remains wide open: Anyone in your wireless router's range can connect to your network to access the Internet—and your home PC. If you're in this situation, you have some work to do. Here are five steps that you can follow to secure your home wireless network:
Step 1: Change the Router's Default Administrator Password
Out of the box, most routers contain a default user ID and password. Because this password is well known (i.e., printed in documentation included with the router), you must change the default password. You can easily make this change by running the router's installation and setup wizard.
If you have a router that doesn't provide such a wizard, you can connect to the router through an Internet browser and change the password. For example, to connect to a Linksys router, after powering up the router and connecting the Ethernet cable to the router, open a Web browser and type 192.168.1.1. Use the default user ID and password to log on to the router, then change the default password.
Step 2: Change the Default SSID and Disable SSID Broadcast
All routers are shipped with a Service Set Identifier (SSID) that's set by the manufacturer. An SSID is a sequence of as many as 32 letters or numbers that comprise a wireless LAN's (WLAN's) ID or name. For example, the Linksys router's default SSID name is Linksys. Default SSIDs are well known and published. Therefore, wireless-router manufacturers advise that you change the default SSID so that it's unique. Moreover, router manufacturers suggest that you change SSIDs as often as possible: Hackers know that, in order to join a wireless network, wireless networking products first listen for "beacon messages," which are transmitted unencrypted. These messages contain network information, such as the network's SSID and the IP address of the network PC or Access Point (AP).
Also by default, a router broadcasts the router's SSID. You should disable this behavior. Although doing so won't provide tight security—a commonly available tool such as NetStumbler can detect hidden SSIDs—disabling the SSID broadcast lets you add one more layer of security against casual eavesdroppers. However, exercise caution if you disable SSID broadcast: Some devices, such as HP Palmtops, might not be able to connect or might drop connections intermittently if the SSID isn't broadcast.
Step 3: Change the IP Address Setting
Router manufacturers set every router with an IP address. Linksys routers, for example, come configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.1. These address settings are well known and published, and thus malicious users can easily discover your IP address if they know the router manufacturer and type. Therefore, you should change the IP address as a part of the setup process. Continuing with the Linksys example, you can change the default 192.168.1.1 IP address to 192.168.10.1. Although changing the IP address doesn't secure the router, it does leave the eavesdropper guessing for the IP address.
DHCP is also enabled by default on every router. DHCP provides IP address information to client machines. By default, the DHCP server hands out IP addresses in the 2-to-254 range. Therefore, 253 client machines can get an IP address from the router. You probably don't have that many systems at home, so it's best to reduce the DHCP range to the number of machines that you expect to have in your network. As a rule of thumb, I set the router to hand out addresses for the number of machines in my network, plus an additional two for visiting friends and family.
5 Steps to Home Wireless Security
Feb 26, 2002 12:00 PM,
Bobby Malik
Step 4: Set Up Your Router to Use Encryption
A router's default settings don't include encryption. Because encryption provides security to your wireless communication, you must enable it. However, before setting up encryption, you must understand a few facts about wireless encryption and the security that different types of encryption standards—specifically, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA)—provide.
WEP is the 802.11 standard's optional encryption method. It's supported by most wireless NIC and AP manufacturers and is the most common method for securing home wireless networks. However, WEP has two limitations. First, it has a long key that's difficult to remember for a common user. Setting up the network for such a user can therefore be challenging. Second, the more serious problem with WEP is that malicious users can use freely available tools (e.g., AirSnort, WEPCrack) to easily decrypt WEP-encrypted data. By sniffing a heavily used wireless network (i.e., capturing transmitted data packets) for about 5 hours, an intruder—using these tools—can determine the WEP key and gain access to the network.
WEP vulnerabilities are well known and published. In January 2001, UC Berkeley published a white paper about WEP vulnerability, and in March 2001, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, published a document called Your 802.11 Wireless Network Has No Clothes that lists WEP vulnerabilities.
Although WEP isn't the most secure method available, it's nevertheless better than using no encryption at all. Home networks aren't as heavily used as corporate networks, so it can take an intruder much more time to sniff the home wireless network and gather enough packets to decipher the WEP key than to gather the same information from a corporate network.
WPA was created as a bandage for WEP security, an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP during the preparation of the 802.11i standard. WPA is designed for use with 802.1X authentication—for example, you might use WPA in conjunction with a RADIUS server that's responsible for distributing keys to each user. You might also use a less secure pre-shared key (PSK) process.
One big WPA improvement over WEP is the addition of the Temporal Key Integrity (TKIP) security protocol that dynamically (i.e., every 10,000 packets) changes the keys used to encrypt the data. This change alone makes WPA more secure than WEP. Another advantage of using WPA is that it takes a pass phrase as a key, which is easier to remember and set up than the long and complicated WEP key. Figure 1 shows the Linksys router's pass phrase key setup.
All this being said, WPA only recently became a standard, in February 2004. Since that time, devices must support WPA to pass certification, but older systems might not support WPA without a firmware upgrade. If you bought your device before February 2004, chances are that you'll need to update the firmware to get WPA support.
Besides the update required for older routers, a client-software update might be necessary. For example, if you aren't running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you'll need to download and install the WPA support patch.
Step 5: Use the MAC Address Filter
Every NIC has a unique MAC address. You can configure most wireless routers to filter based on these addresses. To display XP's IP configuration, which includes the MAC address (as Figure 2 shows), simply type
C:>ipconfig /all
at a command prompt. After you know the MAC (Physical) address, you can log on to the router (at http://router's IP address) and add the MAC address to the filter. Figure 3 shows how to add the MAC address to a Linksys router. However, you will have to add and save the MAC address to your router only once and subsequent visits will be seamless.
Before adding the MAC address, you must enable the MAC filter. Most routers let you either allow only specific PCs to access the network or deny specific PCs access to the network. Figure 4 shows the settings for the Linksys router that allow only listed PCs to access the network. Generally, you might not know who to deny access to; therefore, it's best to use the Allow only specific clients option.
Filtering MAC addresses isn't foolproof: An intruder can change a device's MAC address to circumvent MAC address filtering. However, a hacker would need to know the MAC address of a device on your network before doing so.
Just Like Locking Your Home
Just as you secure your home by locking your doors and windows, you must take the precaution of securing your wireless network by locking it down. By changing your router's default administrator password, changing the default SSID and disabling SSID broadcast, changing your IP address settings, setting up your router to use encryption, and using the MAC address filter, you can easily secure your home wireless network, as my friend did. Although these steps won't prevent a dedicated intruder who's intent on hacking your network, they'll keep most malicious users and eavesdroppers away.

PHILADELPHIA – UMBC women's soccer fell 1-0 to Drexel in Monday afternoon's non-conference matchup at Vidas Field. The Retrievers surrendered the lone goal of the contest with 24:46 left to play in the contest.
The Dragons picked up the victory in their home-opener to improve to 3-1 on the season, while UMBC drops to 0-3-1.
Drexel's Jourdan Halasz found a wide open Lauren Stoller in front of the net. Stoller dribbled the ball inside the six-yard box and beat goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) one-on-one, placing the ball inside the left post.
Kadet (0-3-1) finished the afternoon with nine saves, as the Dragons outshot UMBC 21-2 in the contest. Drexel net minder Eve Badana (3-1) made one stop in the game.
The Retrievers continue their four-game road trip at St. Peter's College on Friday, Aug. 27 at 4 p.m.

The pay won't be worth mentioning, likely I'm actually being serious; they pay will be as low as they can possibly push it. Also, it appears that while the programme is LOCATED at a university, it belongs to a Korean school chain - it is not the university that is the potential employer. Cho-sun is just renting spaces at the university, probably including dorm rooms for their students; this is pretty common practice all over North America. I know of six or seven such programms in Toronto that are also renting space at a uni, but have no further connection whatsoever with the institituion. So the title of the thread is actually a bit misleading; this summer camp has (most likely) absolutely nothing to do with the university other than that it is being held on campus.

I agree that the company is simply renting space on the Univ. of Nebr. campus, while at the same time, recruiting local ESL teachers. However, others may think the target learners are N.U. ESL students from Korea, and that the uni somehow is a partner in this endeavor. And then there are the links the recruiter included---funky, plus, one isn't even in English.

Zalgiris Kaunas comes off its best season this century as the team roared into the EuroLeague Final Four for the first time in nearly two decades. Led by Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius, Zalgiris got out to a strong start in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, winning 10 of its opening 15 games to make sure it was in a good position to fight for a playoff berth. Paulius Jankunas earned EuroLeague MVP honors for December as the team's cornerstone in a perfect month (5-0). Zalgiris finished the regular season in sixth place with an 18-12 record to advance to the EuroLeague Playoffs for the first time since 2001. Led by Brandon Davies, Zalgiris stole a road win against Olympiacos Piraeus and stayed strong at Zalgirio Arena, pushed by a great crowd, to advance to the Final Four. Jankunas and Kevin Pangos were chosen to the All-EuroLeague Second Team and Brandon Davies became the EuroLeague MVP for April. In its first Final Four appearance since lifting the trophy in 1999, Zalgiris fell to Fenerbahce Istanbul in the semifinals, but bounced back to win the third place game against CSKA Moscow. Zalgiris also won the Lithuanian double by beating Rytas Vilnius in both in the cup title game and league finals.
Zalgiris Kaunas is a synonym for basketball in a country that lives and breathes the sport. Zalgiris was founded in 1944 by the best basketball players in Kaunas and the club needed just three years to win its first Soviet title. It became Soviet champion four other times – in 1951 and from 1985 to 1987, with the latter period going down as the team's first golden age. With legends Arvydas Sabonis, Sergejus Jovaisa, Rimas Kurtinaitis and Valdemaras Chomicius taking charge, Zalgiris twice came within a victory of a European trophy, but lost the 1984 Saporta Cup final to Barcelona and came up short in the 1986 EuroLeague championship game against Cibona Zagreb and Drazen Petrovic. Following independence for Lithuania in 1990, Zalgiris gave its basketball-loving fans plenty to cheer about. While the club won the first nine Lithuanian League championships, thus creating a dynasty, it also lifted its first-ever European trophy, the Saporta Cup in 1998, by downing Adecco Milan in the title game behind 35 points from Saulius Stombergas. A year later, Zalgiris shocked the continent by winning the 1999 EuroLeague title. With a fun-to-watch offensive style, the cast of stars including Tyus Edney, Stombergas, Anthony Bowie, Eurelijus Zukauskas and Jiri Zidek was led by Coach Jonas Kazlauskas to Europe's top. Zalgiris has competed in the EuroLeague every year since, but the closest it came to glory again was in 2004 – Sabonis's retirement season – when it lost a do-or-die Top 16 finale in overtime in epic fashion against eventual champ Maccabi Tel Aviv. The club continued its dominance at home by winning 14 Lithuanian League titles this century. Zalgiris also lifted the Baltic League crown in that competition's inaugural 2005 season and won triple crowns – Baltic League, Lithuanian League and Lithuanian Cup – in 2008, 2011 and 2012. In the last two seasons, Zalgiris continued reigning at home with back-to-back league and cup doubles, while in the EuroLeague, Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius inspired his charges to play spirited basketball. It all paid off last season, in which Zalgiris finished the EuroLeague regular season with an 18-12 record and downed Olympiacos Piraeus in the playoffs to make it to the Final Four for the first time since 1999. Paulius Jankunas and Brandon Davies earned monthly MVP honors in December and April, respectively. Jankunas and Kevin Pangos were named to the All-EuroLeague Second Team and Zalgiris laid the groundwork for a bright future, as it now has the experience required to do even deeper in the 2018-19 season.

Tens of thousands of smiling faces from around the world comprise NASA's new "Global Selfie" mosaic of Earth. Can you find your own?
The planetary picture is made up of 36,422 photos that were shared on social media for Earth Day.
The space agency asked a question on April 22 – "Where are you on Earth Right Now?" – then invited people to answer the question on social media and attach a selfie.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
It took weeks to curate more than 50,000 photos submitted from 113 countries and regions on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Flickr, NASA said.
The final result, unveiled on Thursday, is a zoomable 3.2-gigapixel image. A full-resolution version of the "Global Selfie" is available on GigaPan. If you contributed to the planetary picture, you may be able to find your image by zooming in all the way in.
The project was meant to promote environmental awareness.
Last year NASA asked people to snap selfies for their "Wave at Saturn" campaign.

Seeing Taylor Swift in person may be much easier than purchasing a pricey concert ticket this fall.
Summers Farm in Frederick, Maryland modeled its 12-acre corn maze after the Grammy winner and included the words "dare to be different."
Farm owner Jeff Greenwood, a longtime fan, picked Swift as the maze's theme this year, saying he wanted to highlight Swift's messages of self-confidence and staying true to oneself.
Entertainment News
"We always try to find someone that is unique and connects to our customers, and we feel that Taylor is an amazing person.... We just feel that she is just a real, honest, true person who believes in being herself and tries to help people build confidence in themselves," Greenwood told NBC Washington.
Greenwood called Swift "an amazing role model, not just for the youth but for just anybody, because she really is an honest, true person. She truly believes in, you are who you are and that's who you should be. That's what we should be, also."
Swift herself posted an Instagram of the maze with the caption "Lawn goals."
Want to give it a try? The maze will be open from Sept. 26 to Nov. 1 this year. Be prepared to stay awhile, because navigating through Swift's face could take up to two hours -- although it could take as little as 30 minutes. Check out a flyover video of the maze here.
The maze is divided into phases to accommodate all age groups, according to Summers Farm's website.

Computer Tricks Online Bonus: Create Columns for Journaling
As scrapbookers, most of the time we allow our photos to take center stage on our pages. The pictures tell most of the story, and our journaling, title and embellishments play a supporting role. Every now and then, though, it's great to switch things up and let your words lead the way—especially if you have a great story to tell. To help you create a beautiful, striking page filled with words, I'll show you how to create journaling in even-sized columns using Photoshop Elements (this works in the full version of Photoshop, too!).

This recipe is inspired by fresh apple cider from BelleWood Acres. However, it also includes a beverage experiment I tried several years ago.
I was living in a cabin with a huge walnut tree just outside the door. Every year, I'd watch for the walnuts to ripen, but every year I'd awaken one morning to the sound of blue jays. That was the day the walnuts would all be gone. The jays were faster than me when the walnuts were ripe.
One year I read about an Italian liqueur called nocino, which is made from green walnuts steeped in vodka for a couple of months, sometimes with added herbs and spices. At last! I'd found a way to enjoy at least some of the walnuts before the jays ate them.
At first, the nocino I made tasted bitter, but everything I read said the flavor would get better with age (as in years). It did. Continue Reading

Jeb Bush
|Jeb Bush
|43rd Governor of Florida
From: January 5, 1999 – January 2, 2007
|Buddy MacKay
|Charlie Crist
|Columba Bush
|Roman Catholic
John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953), age 66, is a businessman and a former governor of the State of Florida. He is the third child and second son of former President George H. W. Bush and his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush. He is the younger brother of former President George W. Bush. Jeb Bush was the first Republican to win a second term as Florida's governor, and he left office with a 60% approval rating.[1] Jeb is most likely person to receive the Republican nomination for president, see: Presidential Election 2012.
Early Life and Education
Bush was born in Midland, Texas where his father ran an oil drilling company. When he was six years old, the family relocated to Houston, Texas. He was a budding athlete, enjoying baseball and tennis. He went to a public elementary school, and later to a private school. When he was in eighth grade, George H. W. Bush won a seat in Congress and moved to Washington, DC. The Bush children stayed in Houston with another family to finish the school year, and spent most summers and holidays at the family estate, located at Kennebunkport, Maine. He then enrolled at Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts, already attended by his brother, George. Jeb Bush made the honor roll his first year. [2]
Private Sector
Jeb Bush and and his family moved to Florida in 1981, where he joined the Codina Group, a real estate development company.
Political Career
Bush became Secretary of Commerce under Governor Bob Martinez in 1987 and was the Republican nominee for governor in 1994, losing to incumbent Lawton Chiles. In 1998 he ran again and won, becoming governor of Florida at the same time his brother George W. was governor of Texas. He was re-elected in 2002, defeating Democrat William McBride (who had upset former Attorney General Janet Reno in the Democratic primary election). Bush could not run for re-election to a third term in 2006, because of term limits; another Republican, Charlie Crist, was elected to succeed him. After eight years, Jeb Bush left office as one of the most popular and prominent governors in state history. There is speculation about him running for President in 2016, when he would be only 62 years old. [3]
Political views
Public Criticism
Post Political Career
He joined the board of directors of Tenet Healthcare, the biggest publicly traded hospital company in the United States, in April 2007.[4][5]
Personal Life
Bush met his wife, Columba, while teaching English as part of a university exchange program in Leon, Guanajato, Mexico in 1971. Columba was born in Leon in 1954. The two were married on February 23, 1974, shortly after Bush graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Latin American Affairs. They have three children: George (known as George P., born 1976), Noelle (born 1977) and John (known as Jebby, born 1983). The couple currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida.

Updated 1:22 p.m. | Senate Democrats succeeded Thursday in deploying the "nuclear option" to make the most fundamental change to floor operations in almost four decades, ending the minority's ability to kill most presidential nominations by filibuster.
The Senate voted, 52-48, to effectively change the rules by rejecting the opinion of the presiding officer that a supermajority is required to limit debate, or invoke cloture, on executive branch nominees and those for seats on federal courts short of the Supreme Court.
Three Democrats — Carl Levin of Michigan, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, and Mark Pryor of Arkansas — voted to keep the rules unchanged.
The move came after Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., raised a point of order that only a majority of senators were required to break filibusters of such nominees. Presiding over the Senate as president pro tem, Judiciary Chairman Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont issued a ruling in line with past precedent, saying that 60 votes were required. Leahy personally supported making the change.
Voting against Leahy's ruling has the effect of changing the rules to require only a simple majority for most nominations.
The new precedent represents what's likely to prove the most significant change in Senate rules since 1975, when the cloture threshold was reduced to 60 votes in most cases (from two-thirds of senators present and voting).
"The Senate is a living thing. And to survive, it must change. To the average American, adapting the rules to make Congress work again is just common sense. This is not about Democrats versus Republicans," Reid said opening the Senate. "This is about making Washington work — regardless of who's in the White House or who controls the Senate. To remain relevant and effective as an institution, the Senate must evolve to meet the challenges of a modern era."
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., once a longtime Delaware senator, who previously said that he was open to changing the filibuster rules, told reporters traveling with him to a D.C. sandwich shop Thursday that he was on board with Reid's move.
Sen. Jeff Merkley had been leading what was initially an uphill effort to change the way the Senate handles filibuster threats. The Oregon Democrat told reporters after the key vote that he didn't think there was anything Republicans could do to un-ring the bell.
"The Senate has spoken," Merkley said. "It has said we have tried to restore, through mutual understanding, the norms and traditions of the Senate time and time again, and each time the minority has failed to uphold its position."
"Ending the abusive filibuster on nominations is a big step toward restoring the functionality of the Senate, and that matters for all of us. I hope we continue to look at ways to make this legislative body work better. We face big challenges as a nation, and we need a Congress that can take on those challenges," Merkley said in a statement.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell offered a prelude of what Reid and Democrats might experience in a "post-nuclear" Senate. There's no shortage of procedural maneuvers available to delay Senate business both on the floor and at the committee level.
The Kentucky Republican led his conference in forcing a number of roll call votes on generally noncontroversial procedural motions. He also made a motion to adjourn.
"If they want to play games and set yet another precedent that they will no doubt come to regret, well ... that's a choice only they can make," McConnell said earlier in the day.
Sen. John McCain told reporters he spent about an hour in Reid's office Wednesday trying to figure out a way to once again avert the "nuclear option." The Arizona Republican said it would "chill" other Senate business, including progress on a disability treaty.
"I'm very sad. I'm not angry. I'm just sad," McCain said.
Asked about why the threats came to a head Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., couldn't really explain it, though he noted the disagreement about the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that dates back to the George W. Bush administration.
"The D.C. circuit — that fight's been going on for 10 years, packing the court. There's nothing new about this debate," said Graham. "Sen. Leahy raised the same objections when Bush was in. I don't know. Maybe it is Obamacare. Maybe they do want to change the topic. I can't explain it in terms of substance."
The new reality will allow Democrats to advance nominees without Republican votes, but not without expending time and effort. The new rule was on display when the Senate voted, 55-43, to limit debate on the motion of Patricia Ann Millett to a seat on the D.C. appeals court. Until earlier in the day, that action would have required 60 votes.
Republican Whip John Cornyn of Texas made the distraction from health care argument in his own statement.
"The Democrats' attempt to pivot at a time when we should be focused on protecting the American people from dropped health care coverage makes their true motives clear," Cornyn said. "They will do anything to take the attention off the failure that is Obamacare, even if it means breaking the rules of the Senate in a raw exercise of partisan political power."
Many top Democrats who previously wavered on rules changes by simple majority backed Reid, including Leahy.
"I have always believed in the Senate's unique protection of the minority party, even when Democrats held a majority in the Senate," Leahy said in a statement. "When the minority has stood in the way of progress, I have defended their rights and held to my belief that the best traditions of the Senate would win out; that the 100 of us who stand in the shoes of over 310 million Americans would do the right thing. That is why I have always looked skeptically at efforts to change the Senate rules."
Levin was one of the three who remained opposed, however.
"In the short term, judges will be confirmed who should be confirmed," he said. "But when the precedent is set that a majority can change the rules at will on judges, that precedent will be used to change the rules on consideration of legislation, and down the road, the hard-won protections and benefits for our people's health and welfare will be less secure."
Meredith Shiner contributed to this report.

''...imbued with noble history...set in a dramatic and varied landscape...''Take a beautiful Peak District National Park setting, just 3½ miles from Bakewell, add a historic hall (first recorded in the Domesday Book), and an ancient cluster of listed buildings converted to form superb holiday cottage accommodation....and the result is the captivating blend that is Harthill Hall. Nestling in 14 acres of grounds on an upland called Priest's Hill with excellent walking available from the doorstep, the properties have the use of an extensive range of leisure facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, solarium and treatment rooms. Noble names have woven the threads of the hall's long history including Henry de Ferrers, the Cokaynes and the Harthills. Henry VIII is also believed to have stayed at the hall. It was here in 1259 that Sir Richard de Hartle was issued a Papal Bull by Pope Alexander II, allowing him to appoint his own chaplain. The chapel ceased its functions as a place of worship in 1546 and now takes the form of The Chapel and Hartle Cottage. The eight cottages are furnished with antiques and surround a medieval cobbled courtyard.

Environment Canada to launch new weather radar software

TORONTO -- Environment Canada is preparing to roll out new radar technology in order to combat wind farm clutter, which clouds weather forecasts, misleads meteorologists and can even block radar signals.
Jim Young, who works at the agency's national radar program, said new software will be incorporated into Canada's radar system this fall in an effort to address the "contamination" caused by wind turbines.
"I certainly have very high hopes," he said, adding that Environment Canada has been concerned about wind farm clutter for years.
The agency uses Doppler radar to predict storms, but the movement of wind turbine propellers can mimic weather.
Young said accurate radar data relies on movement -- still objects including buildings, trees and towers are filtered out to allow for an analysis of the weather.
On its website, Environment Canada warns that the degradation of data can be "significantly misleading for forecasters under storm conditions."
Young said the disruption caused by wind farms is based on their proximity to radar sites.
"The closer you get, that clutter becomes larger and larger," he said.
In extreme circumstances, wind turbines can block radar scans, which Young compares to beams of light emanating from a flashlight.
"If you put a large obstruction in front of your flashlight, you are going to create a shadow behind it, where you can't see anything," he said, adding that the same thing can happen when scanning wind farms.
He said so far Environment Canada hasn't had to deal with full blockages.
"Environment Canada will be very concerned if any wind farms are built that close to a radar site," he said.
Young added that he has been working with research groups at McGill University and the University of Oklahoma on software for the past year.
The project will allow forecasters to better distinguish between weather and wind farms, but it still might not be enough in extreme weather, he said.
As an "extra layer of protection," Environment Canada is in the process of finalizing a curtailment agreement with a major wind energy company, he said.
Young said the agreement will include shutting down wind turbines if necessary during extreme weather events.
A spokeswoman for NextEra Energy Canada, which has wind projects in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and Nova Scotia, said the company has worked with Environment Canada to understand weather radar equipment and its compatibility with wind turbines.
Josie Bird said the agreed upon "exceptional weather event protocol" outlines how the company can work with Environment Canada in extreme weather.
"The mitigation agreement would provide Environment Canada the ability to request a change in the operations of the nearby wind farm, which will then be managed by our operations team," she said via email.
Part of the problem is the competition for prime real estate, Young said.
"The ideal places for locating a wind farm are also ideal locations for weather radar," he said. "You are close to populations and close to infrastructure."
He added that he works with a U.S. counterpart to discuss wind farms close to the U.S.-Canada border, where most of Environment Canada's radar network is set up.
But Canada has a "sparse" radar network compared to the U.S., he said, adding that when the U.S. system faces obstruction, there is often overlap so another radar site will compensate for the problem.
"Our radar coverage is nowhere near as dense as the U.S. network," he said.
He added that other types of radar in Canada, such as air surveillance and air traffic control, could also be affected by wind turbines.
"It's not a problem limited to Canada," he said. "It's a worldwide issue."

My Ormsby ancestry in America dates to the late 1630's when Richard Ormsby came from England and settled in Maine. The family name was often times spelled Ormsbee. Richard made his way to Massachusetts.
His descendant, Isaac, was born in Rhode Island. He served in the Revolutionary War and was with General George Washington at the defeat of General Cornwallis at Yorktown. In 1796, he walked to Greenfield, NY to purchase land. After the purchase, he walked back to Barrington, RI, then returned, on foot, to Greenfield with his wife, Patience (Chase), and their four children. He and Patience are buried in the Ormsbee family burying ground on the site of the Ormsbee farm near Porters Corners near Greenfield.
One of their children was Russell Ormsbee. He was instrumental in documenting his family's history. Early in life, he developed the habit of making family records and preserving them. He inspired his descendants to do the same. He was also quite a traveler for those days. His diary mentions trips to Vermont, Rhode Island, New York City, Boston and Michigan.
Another of Isaac and Patience's children was Nancy. She married my third great grandfather John Earl Harris. They settled in Greenfield after their 1820 marriage, before leaving for Indiana in 1837. Later, they moved to Cato, Manitowoc Co., WI. Both Nancy and John Earl are buried in Cato Heights Cemetery in Cato.

TRAVEL season is here, when so many Americans decamp to Cape Cod or the Jersey Shore. All of which is wonderful, and some day I plan to do a 10-part series on the world's best beaches.
But travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy and international understanding. So for those with an adventurous streak who want to get beyond the madding crowd this summer, here are a few little-known travel spots that I recommend.
These just might be the world's coolest places.
• Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. This coral island in the Pacific Ocean was the site of American nuclear weapons tests in the 1940s and 1950s, but after decades left to itself it is now dazzlingly beautiful in a way that belies its history. Radiation has dissipated, and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells and an occasional giant sea turtle — which will hurriedly call to its friends: Look, there's a rare sight, a human! The island is a reminder of the redemptive power of time and nature.
• Potosí, Bolivia. Perhaps no country in Latin America is more picturesque than Bolivia, and the most memorable Bolivian city may be Potosí. European explorers discovered a huge silver mountain here in the 1540s, and, in the 1600s, this was one of the major cities in the world. Tourists can descend the silver mines, and it is a searing and unforgettable experience. You go down hundreds of feet in tiny, sweltering tunnels thick with dust, talk to some of the miners, and get a glimpse of what life is like for the many Bolivians who work each day in the mines. After a couple of hours deep underground, sometimes struggling to breathe and fretting about cave-ins, you may have new empathy for the laborers responsible for silver bowls and cutlery.
• Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Maybe our best family trip started at Victoria Falls, which drenches you with spray and is so vast that it makes Niagara Falls seem like a backyard creek. Then we rented a car and made our way to Hwange National Park, which was empty of people but crowded with zebras, giraffes, elephants and more. Zimbabwe has far fewer tourists than South Africa or Kenya, and there's less crime as well.
• Amritsar, India. The Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine, is in northwestern India near the Pakistani border, and it is a delightful place to contemplate the draw of faith. A four-century-old temple set in a lake, it attracts Sikhs from around the world. It is much less visited by tourists than the Taj Mahal, yet it is just as serene, grand and unforgettable. You walk the circuit of the lake barefoot, with your head covered, and, for the full experience, you can sleep and eat in temple buildings.
• Tanna, Vanuatu. This remote island in the South Pacific is notable for its live volcano that you can climb at night. From the lip, you look down and see the fires and molten lava. It's a natural fireworks display. The people of Tanna are also likely to invite you to drink kava, the local intoxicant, or perhaps join a village dance. The local faith tradition is a cargo cult. People believe in a god they call John Frum, perhaps based on an American military officer around the time of World War II who gave islanders their first glimpse of industrial products. One theory is that he introduced himself as "John from America," but only the first two words survived and became his name.
• Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam. Follow a guide in wriggling on your stomach underground through these tunnels dug by Vietcong soldiers who used them and even lived in them during the Vietnam War. The tunnels are now widened to accommodate portly Americans, and they are still a tight fit. After a couple hundred feet of crawling in the tunnels, you're desperate to come up again, and you understand that military victory is sometimes not about weaponry but about commitment.
There's nothing wrong, of course, with a delicious week at the beach with a pile of books. But if you're hankering to escape the crowds this summer, encounter new worlds and come back with a tale, think about some of these destinations. The tourism infrastructure may not be great, but the people (or elephants) will make up for it.
When I visited the Pacific island country of Kiribati years ago, I made a reservation by phone to make sure I would have a place to stay. The man at the hotel agreed to hold me a spot, but he skipped the details.
"I don't need the name," he said. "If there's an American at the airport, I'll recognize him."

At the age of 24, you'd think Dallas man Jermmie Marquis Davis would've outgrown prank phone-calling, but as it transpires, he racked up $US90,000 in calls to the Illinois National Runaway Switchboard - three-way calling them with a sex hotline.
When the Dallas Morning News called Davis to get a comment on their story, he first told them he wasn't going to talk without a lawyer, but that "I really don't care because I have a girlfriend and she doesn't care about it, OK?" I'm glad that's cleared that up, then.
Davis is going to be sentenced later this year, where he's expected to face a couple of years' imprisonment, not to mention being slapped with having to pay carrier Sprint the $US88,738 in phone bills owed. [Dallas Morning News]

The "warrior gene" in men might be the "happiness gene" for women.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
A new study found that a low-expression form of the gene monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) seems to give women good feelings, but it doesn't have the same effect in guys. In fact, it's the same gene type that has been linked to aggression in men.
"This is the first happiness gene for women," lead author Henian Chen, of the University of South Florida, said in a statement.
MAOA controls the activity of an enzyme that breaks down serotonin, dopamine and other feel-good brain chemicals. The low-expression version MAOA leads to higher levels of monoamine, which, in turn, allows larger amounts of these neurotransmitters to stay in the brain and boost mood.
In the study, the researchers examined how this gene was expressed in 193 women and 152 men. They also analyzed the subjects' self-reported happiness.
The researchers found that women with even just one copy of the low-activity type of MAOA were much happier than women with no copies. Meanwhile, many of the men in the study had a copy of the gene variant, but reported no more happiness than their peers without it, the researchers said.
The study, which appears in the journal Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, controlled for various factors, including age, education and income.
"I was surprised by the result, because low expression of MAOA has been related to some negative outcomes like alcoholism, aggressiveness and antisocial behavior," Chen said in a statement. "It's even called the warrior gene by some scientists, but, at least for women, our study points to a brighter side of this gene."
Chen and his team speculated that testosterone might be to blame for this genetic gender gap, saying the hormone might mitigate the positive effects of MAOA in men.

Days after members of what's being called Hollywood's alleged "Burglar Bunch" were charged with ripping off stars' homes, a search warrant related to the alleged crimes has been released.
The search warrant, which was issued on October 20, allowed authorities to search the homes and vehicles of Jonathan Ajar, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Ames, Alexis Neiers and Roy Lopez Jr.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan - From Teen Queen To 'Mean Girl'
According to the 24-page document, among the items recovered in the search were dozens of diamond jewelry items, designer purses, as well as prescription and what appeared to be illegal drugs.
At Ajar's residence, a property report included in the released documents, indicates that a host of psychedelic mushrooms were uncovered at his residence. Also uncovered were various quantities of prescription drugs including what appeared to be Oxycodone, Clonazepam and Lexapro, and at least two guns.

According to another property report, at Neiers' home, a number of rings were uncovered, as well as a designer handbag.
Tamayo's home had property of Lindsay Lohan's according to the documents, including several Chanel bags, a Louis Vuitton purse and a host of designer high-heel shoes. Also found were two bottles of Paris Hilton perfume, two bottles of Chanel perfume and various designer makeup items.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Lohan, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green and Ashley Tisdale were allegedly some of the celebrity victims of the gang of mostly teenage girls who allegedly burglarized a host of star residences, police have said.

Last week, the District Attorney's office filed residential burglary charges against four of the suspects named so far in the case.
Courtney Ames, 18; Alexis Neiers, 18; Roy Lopez, 27; and Diana Tamayo, 19; were all arrested last week and remain free on bail.
Authorities previously said they issued a warrant for the arrest of Ajar on firearm and drug possession charges. Ajar, authorities said, has been identified as an alleged participant in some aspects of the case.
He was arrested on Oct. 30 and released Nov. 1 on bail.
The LAPD said there are a total of seven suspects.
Authorities said the value of property stolen is "in the millions of dollars," with the lead detective estimating the amount at over $2 million.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, last week, Nicholas Frank Prugo, 18, from Calabasas, Calif., was charged in the burglaries. He now faces seven counts of first-degree residential burglary.
Prugo was released on bail, but is scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 12.

The package CircuiTikz provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and electronic networks. This article explains basic usage of this package.
CircuiTikz includes several nodes that can be used with standard tikz syntax.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{circuitikz} \begin{document} \begin{center} \begin{circuitikz} \draw (0,0) to[ variable cute inductor ] (2,0); \end{circuitikz} \end{center} \end{document}
To use the package it must be imported with
in the preamble. Then the environment circuitikz is used to typeset the diagram with tikz syntax. In the example a node called variable cute inductor is used.
