by John MacArthur
It is fair to point out that the Thessalonians were at a disadvantage compared to Christians today. They did not have all the written books of New Testament Scripture. Paul wrote both of his epistles to Thessalonica very early in the New Testament era—about A.D. 51. The two letters were probably written only a few months apart and are among the very earliest of all the New Testament writings.
The Thessalonians' primary source of authoritative gospel truth was Paul's teaching. As an apostle, Paul taught with absolute authority. When he taught them, his message was the Word of God, and he commended them for recognizing that: "For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe" (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Elsewhere he said that the commandments he gave them were "by the authority of the Lord Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 4:2).
The substance of what he taught them represented the same body of truth that is available to us in the New Testament. How do we know? Paul himself said so. Even as he was recording his inspired epistle to them, he reminded them, "Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?" (2 Thessalonians 2:5). The written Word simply confirmed and recorded for all time the authoritative truth he had already taught them in person. These epistles were a written reminder of what they had already heard from Paul's own mouth (1 Thessalonians 4:2).
Second Thessalonians 2:15 confirms this: "Stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." There he declares, first of all, that his epistles to them are authoritative, inspired truth. This verse is a clear statement that Paul himself regarded these epistles as inspired Scripture.
But notice also that this verse joins the apostolic "traditions" with the written Word of God. The "traditions" necessary for Christians to be discerning are recorded for all ages in the text of Scripture. Those who claim that apostolic tradition is other truth in addition to Scripture often attempt to use this verse for support. Note, however, that Paul is not saying that "the traditions [they] were taught" are different from the written Scriptures. Rather, he links the two, affirming that the written Word of God is the only permanent and authoritative record of the apostolic tradition. He is specifically suggesting that the Thessalonians should not trust "word of mouth" or letters pretending to be from apostolic sources. Only what they had heard firsthand from Paul's own lips or read in authentic letters from him were they to treat as authoritative, divine truth. That is why Paul usually signed his epistles "with [his] own hand" (1 Corinthians 16:21; Galatians 6:11; Colossians 4:18; 2 Thessalonians 3:17; Philemon 19).
With this in mind, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 cannot be used to support the claim that extrabiblical, spiritually binding "apostolic tradition" is passed down verbally through popes and bishops. Paul's whole point was that the Thessalonians should treat as authoritative only what they had heard from his own mouth or received from his own pen. That body of truth—the Word of God—was to be the measuring stick they used to examine all things. Two other verses confirm this. In 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Paul writes, "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us." And in verse 14 he adds, "If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame."
Therefore, Paul is affirming that the Bible is the only reliable criterion by which believers in this age can evaluate messages claiming to be truth from God.
The testing of truth that Paul calls for is not merely an academic exercise. As we'll see next time, it demands an active response.

Yes, and this is where Roman Catholicism breaks down because they have to establish apostolic succession in order for their understanding of what "tradition" is authoritative to be acceptable. None of the popes met the criteria for an apostle, not having personally seen Jesus (1 cor. 9:1) or directly under the supervision of an apostle of Christ. Roman Catholicism adds to Scripture and is therefore, another gospel (Gal. 1:9). Great article!

For that reason, the Canonized Scripture has had been Closed -- after the founding of the Apostles. We don't have the Apostles nowadays except for pretentious pseudo types, establishing another divine revelations -- related to Paul's mention of "anathema". That is why our church adheres to Sola Scriptura.
Thank you so much for making it perspicuous to us.
God bless your ministry!

Where in the Bible can I find the verse that proves the doctrine of Sola Scriptura?
Hello Clara,
I would recommend the following resources:
A discussion between John MacArthur and Phil Johnson: Sola Scriptura: What It Is and Why It Matters
A message from Steve Lawson: The Puritan Commitment to Sola Scriptura
An article on the issue: Scripture, Tradition, and Rome, Part 2
Also I might add that your question is not a good way of approaching any issue, let alone this one. To search for the verse that proves a particular doctrine comes out of a wrong view of the nature of Scripture. The Bible is not an encyclopedia of doctrines where we look up verses to define points of doctrine. Certainly there are some verses that contain didactic truth in that way, but not many.
Even the most theologically rich portions of Scripture have doctrines contained in passages and paragraphs where Paul and other writers are making an extended argument or defense of the truth. For example, there is no singular verse with proves the Trinity, but there are passages and paragraphs where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all mentioned and clearly identified as divine person. There are books where throughout multiple chapters the Father is referred to as God, the Son is referred to as God, and the Spirit is referred to as God. One verse cannot be used to "prove" (explain) the Trinity.
The same is true for Sola Scriptura. It is not something encapsulated in one verse, but an outgrowth of all of what Scripture teaches about the nature of divine revelation and the Word of God.

In Ad Dollars, March Madness Is Bringing It to the Hoop
Closer than you think.
Last year, the NCAA men's tournament's Final Four brought in $183.8 million in advertising revenue for broadcast partners CBS (CBS) and Turner Sports, according to Kantar Media . That's a March Madness record and a big part of the reason those broadcasters paid $10 billion for the rights to broadcast the tournament through 2024.
It was still well shy of the $262.5 million the 2012 Super Bowl brought in for NBC (CMCSA) , but much better than the $153 million in ad money that the San Francisco Giants' four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers earned for Fox (NWS) back in October. It's a big deal for the Final Four, which has been running in third place since 2009 after bringing in just about $9 million less in ad money than the Super Bowl back in 2008.
That year, the Super Bowl generated only $186.3 million in ad revenue for Fox, which is about $2 million or so more than the Final Four is making right now. Look at it from a complete postseason perspective, however, and the Final Four is gaining on the NFL's big game a lot more quickly. In 2011, the last year for which Kantar had data available, the entire NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament yielded $738 million in ad money from NCAA sponsors including General Motors (GM) , AT&T (T) , Coca-Cola (KO) , Capital One (COF) , Nissan (NSANY) and Lowes (LOW) . Other heavy hitters such as Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) and SAB Miller, which can't partner with the NCAA because of its alcohol policy, also contributed nearly $50 million on their own.
That total trailed only the $900 million made by the Super Bowl, but pulls more players into the game than the 30 or so parent companies that buy ad time for the NFL's championship matchup. Roughly 80 companies advertise during the tournament each year, though even that number is down from the 125 companies that kicked in for March Madness ad time in pre-recession 2007.
Granted, the NFL's broadcast partners can charge nearly $4 million per 30-second ad during their big game, while CBS and Turner have to settle for less than half of that. The nearly $1.5 million that the NCAA championship game fetches, however, is still better than what sponsors pay for college football's championship ($750,000), baseball's All-Star Game ($575,000), the NBA Finals ($435,000) and the World Series ($421,000).
College football, baseball, basketball and, certainly, hockey don't have anything on the Big Dance. Even the Oscars, which bring in stunning $1.6 million per ad for Disney's (DIS) ABC, have never topped $85 million in ad revenue.

I had to work very close to my secretary for six months and I was getting horny looking at her tits daily. When her husband took of for a two week road trip with his motorcycle I ask her if she would fuck me. We met at her house daily. Since I was the boss I could leave the office most any time. We always left in her car and left mine at the office. This worked fine for the two weeks her husband was gone. One week end I told my wife I had to work out of town. The two of us left early on a Friday and spent the week end at a fancy resort. It was more difficult to get together after her husband came home but we did manage to carry on our affair for nearly a year before I knocked her up, When I told my wife our marriage was over.

Posted on 05/06/2012 3:26:34 PM PDT by Steelfish
14-Year-Old Girl Faces Murder Charge In Stabbing Death Of 4-Year-Old Cousin May 06, 2012
INDIANAPOLIS A 14-year-old Indianapolis girl was facing a preliminary charge of murder Sunday after allegedly stabbing her four-year-old cousin to death.
Police said the teenager, who was not identified, stabbed the boy at his grandparents' Indianapolis apartment at around 11:00pm local time Saturday and then fled the scene, WXIN-TV reported.
The victim's 11-year-old sister was also at the apartment but was not injured, according to police. The grandparents were home at the time of the stabbing.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
When she is caught and she will be, she needs to be tried as an adult.
I have to point out that this ugly, evil kind of stuff has been going on since the beginning of time. I don't think it says anything in particular about the judiciary. And, the story is so lacking in details, that it's impossible to come to any kind of conclusion as to the cause until more is known.
"That bastard destroyed almost a quarter of my life!"
I agree, Suzy. They are leaving out a lot, but I think that's a good thing. When they have finished the investagation, there will probably be more to come out.
Perhaps the little boy committed the crime of being a boy. Too bad this teen won't be able to go back to school and tell everyone about her 'girl power' accomplishment. /sarc It would be a travesty is her defense attorney uses 'early PMS' as a defense. Just watch..
Liberals remove 10 Commandments from schools and the public place, Outlaw prayer in schools, even a "moment of silent meditation" is not allowed, stack the federal judiciary with liberal and gay and lesbian judges, and then wash their hands off the bloody social consequences visited upon us all.
What more could come out?
The monster killed an innocent child.
Did you read what I was responding to? WTH?
She was caught and arrested with a charge of murder pending.
"...the story is so lacking in details, that its impossible to come to any kind of conclusion as to the cause until more is known."
I agree with you, but taking things as reported here: she's 14, he's 4, she stabbed him multiple times, it's hard to see how this is any other than a depraved act.
Had she shook him, or punched him or knocked him down, had he been older, then maybe we could imagine some "things just got out of control" scenario.
I remember one awful story about a big family dinner, maybe it was even Thanksgiving. There were a lot of people there and one man, the grandfather I think, was helping to clear the table and the granddaughter (I think) ran into him. Well, part of the stuff he was clearing from the table including a sharp knife sticking out between the dishes and it stabbed this poor girl right in the heart and she died.
So awful.
But somehow I'm thinking this will not turn out to be a case like that.
Sad to read of this happening. I guess libs will focus on charging parents for leaving knives available, unlocked, rather than the root causes for violence (removing God from schools for one).
Well surely all of that Steel...but I also think their are parents today who haven't a clue how to control their children...
Young woman are having children with the expectations their child will be great...not realizing that as a parent you have to teach a child, he isn't just going to magically develope as I think mamy imagine will be.
I saw recently a young fellow of about 6 in the street carrying on screaming, completely out of control. The father attempted to "talk" to his son, of course which only aggrivated him further. Amazingly the kid started slapping 'Himself' across his forehead and face.
I never saw anything quite like that..but the father finally picked him up and carried him away...scratching and screaming and kicking...and still heating his own face.
Now what it is that has happened these children are allowed to go into these terrible fits?
Wonder if there's parents and the grandparents were simply watching the children?
Now the DA needs to try her as an Adult.
Excellent summation.
But after the murder does the ditz feel good about herself..
Yes, but I was just commenting on blaming the judiciary for the dysfunction.
and the grandparents were simply watching the children?
That was my take but the articles I've read are very scarce in detail. None have mentioned the parents nor why they were at the grandparents apt.
If you follow the link in the article it leads to a more detailed story and video....
The girl stabbed the four year multiple times and was found with bloody shirt and the weapon was recovered
To your point that this type of crime children murdereing children within the same family has not been going on since the beginning of time...
Feral children do such things....
I suspect that this is more than just a discipline problem. I think that the girl must be extremely mentally ill.
I remember a severely mentally ill girl I knew in junior high school. She wasn't homicidal, thankfully, yet had severe manic depression, and even then, to a 7th grader, it was obvious that she couldn't continue like that. She was committed to an institution.
They must have added some content. When I read it earlier, it was extremely brief.
What was the girl's mental history? Had she been hospitalized/incarcerated for other acts. Does she have a police record?
There are all sorts of things that could have been added to the article....was she on drugs—either illegal or legal that could have contributed to her acts.
Just stuff a real reporter would ruin down........

I didn't have perfect children....well behaved but not perfect....so I can imagine being that parent with the screaming child who isn't quite "right"....its not easy...
Reads more like a gang or Wiccan initiation.
Some methods of advancement in Satanic ritualism involves human sacrifice and at least a blood letting. A 14-yr old girl would be a ripe initiate for that type of crime.
I don't think so.
This is ghetto territory.
Just your "normal" black on black violence, except lately it seems to be moving from teen to pre-teen years, just like the age of their first pregnancy.
I wish that were true. Here's a few quick sources for you.
Elizabeth Morton, aged fifteen, was hanged at Gallows Hill, Nottingham on the 8th of April 1763 for the murder of the two year old child of her employer, John Oliver.
Sarah Shenston, an eighteen year old, was hanged at Moor Heath on the outskirts of Shrewsbury in Shropshire on Thursday, the 22nd of March 1792. She suffered for the murder of her illegitimate male child whose throat she had cut immediately after birth, on the 30th of September 1791.
Ann Mead, aged sixteen was found guilty of the murder of Charles Proctor, aged sixteen months, by feeding him a spoonful of arsenic at Royston in Hertfordshire. She expiated her crime on the New Drop gallows outside Hertford prison on Thursday the 31st of July 1800, watched by a large crowd.
David Duffield, aged 17,was hanged at the Bowling Green, Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire on the 6th of April 1801 for the murder of 11 year old Anne Morgan. Duffield was afterwards hanged in chains at Tavernspite. He was the last juvenile to suffer this fate in the 19th century. His execution and gibbeting cost Pembrokeshire £20 7s & 4d.
Mary Voce was hanged at Gallows Hill, Nottingham on Tuesday, the 16th of March 1802 for poisoning her child. It is thought that she was born in 1788, which would make her only fourteen. It is interesting that the newspapers of the day found little noteworthy in the execution of fourteen year old girl and gave her story very little coverage.
Seventeen year old Mary Morgan was hanged at Presteigne in Radnorshire in 1805 for the murder of her illegitimate child. She had become pregnant after being seduced by a member of the local gentry in Presteigne and then abandoned by him. She was found guilty of the killing and sentenced to death on Thursday, the 11th of April, her execution taking place two days later on Saturday the 13th, as was required by law at the time, with her body to be dissected afterwards. There are two memorial stones to her in the churchyard at Presteigne.
On the 6th of May 1806, 15 year old Peter Atkinson suffered at York Castle for cutting and maiming Elizabeth Stockton.
Sarah Fletcher, aged 19, was hanged on the roof of Horsemonger Lane Gaol in Surrey on the 5th of April 1813 for child murder.
On the 22nd of March 1819, 16 year old Hannah Bocking became probably the youngest girl to be executed in the 19th century when she was publicly hanged outside Derbys Friar Gate Gaol for the murder, by poisoning, of Jane Grant.
I think witchcraft in the US is far more prolific and degenerating far more than is ever reported. Similar activities were quietly prolific in the 90s amongst inner city black gangs. It has degenerated another generation.
" Liberals remove 10 Commandments from schools and the public place, Outlaw prayer in schools, even a "moment of silent meditation" is not allowed, stack the federal judiciary with liberal and gay and lesbian judges, and then wash their hands off the bloody social consequences visited upon us all. "
Sad times
She is nuts, Sand Rat....put her in a nut house....for 10 years, minimum.
The story reported the 4 year-old's name as Leon Thomas III.
Fill in the blanks.
Try her as an adult and put her in a place for the criminally inane, not for 10 years, but for life.
OK, I'm with you on this.

Topic: "Duplicate entry '2' for key 1" when importing a sql file
I'm trying to import a .sql to an existing db. The first attempt threw this;
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 66758: Duplicate entry '20080622195833' for key 1
...but subsequent attempts are throwing;
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 63: Duplicate entry '2' for key 1
Are there some steps I can take to work round this? The .sql file is 133mb, which means editing it in textmate makes my mac crash, and I can't try the import in development because I don't have access to 'mysql' on the command line (the paths are all funny and no amount of re-configuration attempts have fixed it) and phpMyAdmin has a 5mb upload limit.
I've tried using the rake db:schema:load and rake db:reset to clear the DB after attempting the import; am I right in assuming that these would empty the DB of records and, in theory, the first duplicate entry would be set back to 20080622195833?
Any help is much appreciated, I've been stuck on this for ages.

With Paul and Heather splitting, I find myself thinking about breaking-up songs. Personally, I've always gotten a kick out of the "we're splitting up and now I hate your guts" genre. My personal favorites are:
"Dead Flowers" -- Rolling Stones. For some reason FTD never adopted "Say it with dead flowers" as a slogan. Pity.
"Yes I Guess They Ought to Name a Drink After You" -- John Prine. After he sings the title phrase, he grumbles, "Bloody Mary!" How can you not love that?

In short: muddy dash around glorious tatton parkIn full: Organisation was fantastic for this small event. Unfortunately the rain over the last week or so left a lot of the course in a muddy state and was slippy underfoot in parts, however there was no problems in running around these boggy patches, it just meant you ran a little further than the 15k. Great warm up at the beginning and DJ Dave was providing the entertainment. The race is run for a great cause, however i did wonder where my entry fee went considering there were no road closures to pay for. I was told to try and raise funds for the stroke association as my entry fee only covered organising the event but with just over 300 runners,im sure it didn't cost £4500 to organise,maybe it did,but that sounds a little steep to me. Nevertheless,this is a decent little race with fantastic volunteers on a cold morning which turned to hailstone!A beautiful location to run in, thankyou to all involvedDate of review: November 11, 2012
In short: Excellent run around Tatton ParkIn full: Amazing scenery, very supportive and encouraging marshalls, very well organised by a friendly team. Good running vest sent out before event. Very muddy! Thank you to all involved - excellent run.Date of review: November 11, 2012

UNYFEAT Gala Shows Autism Hope Solidly Planted in Rochester
"Just because a disorder grows, does not mean a community's support of those with the disorder will grow along with it. That has NOT been the case with autism in Rochester."
As I was leaving the Seeds of Hope Gala for UNYFEAT (Upstate New York Families for Effective Autism Treatment) last night, I looked up and saw this gorgeous painting on the roof of of the Memorial Art Gallery.
The beautiful sun against a backdrop of blue carried home the feeling the gala gave: there is amazing hope for autism treatment and support in the Rochester community.
When UNYFEAT began their gala six years ago a venue like the Memorial Art Gallery would have seemed too big.
Last night, with a record attendance of 500, it was bursting at the seams.
The inaugural gala drew 150-200 attendees and was held at Artisan Works. Three years later, UNYFEAT maxed out their space there and moved on to larger venues.
"As the years have gone by we have grown the event considerably," said Lisa Ponticello, event chair, in an interview I had with her last week for this article in the Democrat and Chronicle. "Every year it gets bigger and better."
A lot of that growth is due to UNYFEAT's growth as autism numbers have skyrocketed over the past decade.
Last month the Center for Disease Control released a new estimate that one child out of 88 is believed to have autism or a related disorder. In 2004 the number was one child out of 166.
When Lisa Ponticello, of Brighton, joined Upstate New York Families for Effective Autism Treatment (UNYFEAT) in 2004 following the diagnosis of her son Alex, there were 50 other member families. Eight years later there are 1,020 member families and more joining daily according to UNYFEAT president Sarah Milko, of Penfield.
But, just because a disorder grows, does not mean a community's support of those with the disorder will grow along with it. That has NOT been the case with autism in Rochester.
The community support for families with autism was palpable last night.
Attendance was not only huge, but enthusiastic. People bid and bid high on silent and live auctions (hosted by Channel 13′s Jennifer Johnson and Rick Dorschel of The Dorschel Group) to support UNYFEAT's programming like integrated summer camp for children with autism, a program to teach children with autism how to ride bikes, and support groups for siblings of children with autism.
In a beautiful video produced by UNYFEAT and played at the gala, Dr. Susan Hyman of the University of Rochester's Kirsch Center stated that everyone in the community is touched by autism – whether it is in our own families, our co-workers families, our neighborhoods, or places of worship.
As I watched the video I was proud to be a part of a community that is doing so much to embrace families with autism.
As my regular readers know, I also have a son with a neurological disorder. Brady's disorder (Hyperekplexia) is extremely rare. As far as I have found, only one other family in Western New York has a child with it. My first years with Brady, 5, were tough as I did not have the support that families in UNYFEAT have from one another. I got through it, but it would have been so much easier with the support of an organization like UNYFEAT.
I am so grateful UNYFEAT exists to support parents of children with autism – what an amazing gift. And I am so proud to live in a community that has helped propel UNYFEAT to one of the most premiere grassroots organizations for autism programming in the nation.
The Seeds of Hope for autism are firmly planted in Rochester and the sun is shining beautifully.

Most valuable brand in central Ohio is Victoria's Secret, new survey says
The Columbus Dispatch - March 18, 2014 12:28 PM
While Ohio is chasing states such as California in developing technology firms, the Buckeye State's most valuable brands are in more mundane areas such as shaving and retail.
That's one of the conclusions from a survey developed by Brand Finance, a brand valuation company based in London.
The most valuable brand in central Ohio is Victoria's Secret. The L Brands lingerie chain is valued at $3.9 billion.
In Ohio, the most valuable brand is Gillette. Procter & Gamble's safety razor and personal care products brand is valued at $8.4 billion by Brand Finance.
But technology is the most valuable sector in the Brand Finance U.S. 500, making up 23 percent of the total, with 52 tech brands collectively generating more than $550 billion of brand value. Half of that value was generated in California. Not surprisingly, Apple is the most valuable brand on the list, and at $105 billion, the only brand to be valued at more than $100 billion.
All of the top 500 brands are valued at more than $1 billion, with the total brand value of America's top 500 brands set at $2.5 trillion.
Brand Finance calculates brand value by estimating what a company would be willing to pay to license its brand if it did not own it, basing that estimate on historic revenue, analyst forecasts and economic growth rates.

ADF&G in the News
Articles by Alaska Department of Fish and Game staff and interviews with our staff, appearing in the news.
Please Note: Access to some of the articles below may require a subscription through the destination media source.
Subsistence Survey First of Its Kind in Decade, The Cordova Times, January 26, 2015.
Beginning February 3, a team from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game will be in town to conduct a subsistence survey. The last time a similar survey was conducted was approximately ten years ago.
"We are looking at the health of certain stocks, including the perception of health, particularly for keystone species," Davin Holgen, Subsistence Program Manager recently told The Cordova Times.
Small-Scale Gillnetter Plays a Big Role, National Fisherman, December 2014.
We don't just like salmon here in Alaska, we love them. Alaska's commercial fisheries are diverse, valuable and of tremendous economic importance to the state and nation. These resources are self-renewing when properly managed, and the mission of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Division of Commercial Fisheries is to maximize commercial harvest and economic benefits through sustainable management practices for generations to come.
From Field to Freezer: ADF&G Teaches Class in Proper Care of Meat, Juneau Empire, October 17, 2014.
Some of the 16 students in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Field to Freezer meat processing class last Saturday had hunted caribou, moose, antelope, grouse, ptarmigan, or whitetail deer before. Some wanted to fine-tune how they care for the meat they harvest. Some wanted to learn a greater respect for the meat they buy at the grocery store.
In the three-hour class, Southeast Wildlife Regional Supervisor Doug Larsen and Wendy Larsen went over everything from knives to freezer paper as they taught students how to harvest a Sitka black tail deer. The Larsens have been hunting together in Alaska for 30 years.
Bass Pro Shops Donates $10,000 to the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska, Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska.
On July 9, 2014 Johnny Morris opened a Bass Pro Outpost in Anchorage, Alaska, bringing his signature sporting goods retail business to the Last Frontier. Known for his generosity toward conservation, Mr. Morris and Bass Pro have had an immediate impact on the Alaskan landscape.
Subsistence Panel Looks Toward Future of Salmon Management, KYUK, October 7, 2014.
Tribal co-management and Chinook bycatch took center stage Tuesday at a subsistence panel at the Association of Village Council Presidents conference.
Reflecting on a tense and important 2014 season, Cora Campbell, the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game thanked the packed room of Y-K Delta fishermen for their sacrifices.
Army of Researchers Tracks Chinook Decline, The Bristol Bay Times, August 29, 2014.
More than 100 researchers and three dozen projects are underway to find clues as to why Alaska's Chinook salmon production has declined since 2007.
The ambitious effort marks the start of a state-backed five year, $30 million Chinook Salmon Research Initiative that includes 12 major river systems from Southeast Alaska to the Yukon. And while it will be years before the project yields definitive data, the scientists have pinned down some early findings.
Field Dressing a Moose Key to a Successful Hunt, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, August 29, 2014.
So you've shot your first moose. Congratulations. Now comes the hard part. Properly prepared, the moose Interior Alaska hunters will pursue this month is tasty, healthy and can last all year in the freezer.
But getting hundreds of pounds of meat out of the field in good shape is a bigger, more complex job, than for smaller game, including smaller members of the deer family.
Predicting Seal Behavior, Juneau Empire, August 29, 2014.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game knows environmental factors like tide, temperature, and boat activity affect harbor seals, says Gail Blundell, ADF&G's principle investigator for the statewide research program on harbor seals. But the department doesn't always know to what extent.
So this summer, Blundell and a team of researchers conducted an in-depth study of seals at Tracy Arm's South Sawyer Glacier. Depending on the results, the study may recommend hours of operation for the cruise ships and tour operators that travel the fjord in the summer.
Anchorage Biologists Manage Bears and Risk, Alaska Dispatch, August 8, 2014.
Events involving bears in the Municipality of Anchorage this summer -- including a mauling in June, three in July and the killing of a high-profile black bear sow -- have raised questions regarding the management of two associated issues: bears and risk. Specifically, how does the Alaska Department of Fish and Game manage Anchorage area black and brown bears, and what can the public do to mitigate risks associated with living among bears?
Anchorage's slogan "Big Wild Life" is inspired partly by the municipality's enormous size, its wildlife, and the active lifestyles many residents enjoy. Sprawling from the Knik River to Girdwood and west to Anchorage, the municipality is a Delaware-sized area of wilderness, sparsely settled suburbs, and densely populated urban centers. People here number roughly 300,000, and 92 percent surveyed in a 2009 study indicated wildlife was an important part of their community.
Holy Crab! Rare, Weirdly Colored Crustaceans Found in Norton Sound, Alaska Dispatch, July 12, 2014.
Biologist Scott Kent was getting ready to go salmon fishing in the Norton Sound when he ran into commercial crab fisherman Frank MacFarland, who was delivering his latest catch.
"I got one of those blue ones," MacFarland told him. The fisherman held up the specimen so Kent, assistant area management biologist for the state Department of Fish and Game in Nome, could see.
The crab's shell was a deep periwinkle, likely the result of a naturally occurring genetic mutation, Kent said. The rare discovery thrilled Norton Sound fishery managers and biologists in the Northwest Alaska city.
Compass: Alaska is Committed to Open Process on State Game Refuge Review, Alaska Dispatch, June 30, 2014
If you want to get someone's attention, make a sensational statement. If you want even more attention, make that sensational statement an accusation.
Recent authors borrowed Joni Mitchell's lyrics, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot," to disparage the Alaska Fish and Game Department's review and revisions of management plans for legislatively established state game refuges, such as Izembek, McNeil River, and Yakataga.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Alaska's legislatively established special areas are unique and extremely valuable. The department is committed to managing them and gains nothing by altering their designated purposes.
States Reduces Yukon River Test Fishery Harvest, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, June 6, 2014.
It's still too early to tell if this year's Yukon River king salmon run will be as bad as fisheries experts are predicting, but state fisheries managers are doing everything they can to ensure as many fish as possible get to their Canadian spawning grounds.
That includes reducing the number of kings that are killed in a test nets set by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game at the mouth of Alaska's biggest river.
Biologist in Nome Warns Against Musk Oxen Viewing, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, May 27, 2014.
A state biologist in Nome is cautioning people on the Seward Peninsula against viewing musk oxen up close, saying that endangers young calves.
An early spring is moving peninsula musk oxen closer to where people live, KNOM reported.
Getting too close to the animals can scare herds, harming or even killing young calves, Alaska Fish and Game biologist Tony Gorn said.
Thousands of Hatchery Fish Hit Alaska Waters to Angler's Delight, Anchorage Daily News, May 16, 2014.
A sunny May day at southwest Anchorage's DeLong Lake brought out eager anglers looking to land one of the thousands of rainbow trout and landlocked salmon deposited into its waters each year by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. They didn't have to wait long to see the fish, which arrived by truck.
Most of the finned residents of the 19.7-acre lake -- with the exception of illegally introduced blackfish -- are products of the state's largest, and one of its newest, fish hatcheries.
A little after noon, some 1,500 trout showed up, brought to the lake's edge by a fish stocking truck. Within minutes they were flowing down a hose from the truck's holding tanks and into the lake.
Animal Tracks, Bear Safety, and Mosquitos, Delta Wind, May 12, 2014
What do animal tracks, mosquitos, bears, and crime scenes have in common? They were all involved when Alaska Department of Fish and Game Technician Ellie Mason met last week with Delta Greely Homeschoolers and Mrs. Mock's first grade class at Delta Elementary School to talk about animal tracks and bear safety, with a little wildlife predation/crime scene investigation thrown in, while the students were simultaneously swatting at mosquitos during the outings
Alaska Gets Go-ahead to Reintroduce Wood Bison, Anchorage Daily News, May 12, 2014.
After almost two decades of preparation, it looks like wood bison will finally be reappearing in the Alaska wilderness.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a final rule Wednesday allowing the reintroduction of a "non-essential experimental" population of wood bison into three areas of Alaska.
Fish and Game Getting Ready for the Sockeye Fishery in Bristol Bay, KDLG Public Radio, April 22, 2014.
The 2014 sockeye fishery in Bristol Bay is still a couple of months away but preparations for the fishery are already underway. KDLG's Mike Mason reports about how the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is getting ready for the season.
Fish and Game Will be Cautious in the Ugashik District This Season, KDLG Public Radio, April 21, 2014.
Bristol Bay's massive sockeye salmon fishery is still a couple of months away but stakeholders are getting ready. That includes the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, which last month published the 2014 outlook for commercial salmon fishing in Bristol Bay. The outlook includes the details about the forecast and how the Department intends to manage each of Bristol Bay's 5-commercial fishing districts. KDLG's Mike Mason has this preview of the Ugashik District
Teams of Southeast Alaska Divers Count Herring, Urchins, Geoducks to Manage Fisheries, Alaska Dispatch, April 16, 2014.
Alaska has some of the most successful commercial fisheries on the planet. One of the reasons that Alaska has been so successful with resource management is its requirement and reliance on some of the best research in the world. Alaska animals are counted by air, foot, snowmobile, boat and my favorite, scuba gear.
A Biologist's View of Herring Season, KCAW Sitka, April 3, 2014.
Sitka's commercial herring season ended on Saturday, after fishermen caught over 17,000 tons of herring in just nine days. As it does every year, the fishery brought a fleet of seiners to town, and drew residents to the waterfront to watch the high speed derby unfold in front of them. And at the center of all this action was a team of biologists, whose job is to strike a balance between protecting the resource, and providing access for fishermen.

Killer Bears and Lemming Suicide: Busting Myths About Alaska Animals, Juneau Empire, February 21, 2014.
Sorry to disappoint you, but lemmings do not commit mass suicide and eagles do not snatch toddlers.
As a nature and science writer, I am sometimes called to verify or debunk stories about wildlife. The eagle-picks-up-child hoax is a good example. A colleague came in one morning a few years ago and showed me a video of an eagle swooping down and picking up a toddler in a park, dropping him to the ground after a few seconds of flight. The video had been on YouTube for four hours and already had five million hits. It looked pretty realistic, and my phone started ringing.
2013 Saw Largest Salmon Harvest Ever, Juneau Empire, January 27, 2014.
According to preliminary numbers, 2013 was a great year to be a fisherman and a bad year to be a pink salmon. Last year's salmon harvest was Alaska's largest ever, with more than 272 million fish caught, according to numbers from the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. Of those, 219 million were pink salmon, the smallest and most prolific of Alaska's five salmon species.
The season is valued at an estimated $691 million, making it the second most profitable year ever, coming in behind 1988's $724 million salmon harvest, according to ASMI's numbers. David Harris, Juneau area management biologist for Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said the pink salmon catch "really buoyed this year's numbers," despite "chinook numbers (being) down across the state, some worse than others."
- Fish and Game Teaches Residents How to Release Pets from Trap, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, January 24, 2014
Anyone who doesn't believe a normal person with no knowledge of trapping can open a body-gripping Conibear trap should talk to Sarah DeGennaro.
A wildlife technician at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Fairbanks at the time, DeGennaro, who is also an artist, was asked to draw some illustrations to accompany a brochure the department was putting together for pet owners about how to release their pets from traps and snares.
DEC Says Alaska Fish are Safe to Eat, Juneau Empire, January 23, 2014.
The Department of Environmental Conservation isn't actively testing fish for radiation, Commissioner Larry Hartig told the Senate Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday.
A radiation leak from a nuclear power plant in Japan after a March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami continues to worry some about whether it's safe to eat fish from the Pacific Ocean, but Hartig said those concerns are unfounded.
Alaska Board of Game Extends North Slope Moose Hunting Season, Alaska Dispatch, January 19, 2014.
The seven-member Alaska Board of Game, which met last week in Kotzebue, extended the moose hunting season on Alaska's North Slope, convinced that the ungulate population there was healthy and growing.
However, an amendment was added to make sure that if moose numbers drop significantly in Game Management Unit 26A during the hunt, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game can step in and shut it down. The amended proposal carried by a 5-2 vote at a meeting to consider hunting and trapping proposals in the Nome, Bethel, Barrow and Kotzebue regions.
Proposed Set Net Ban Initiative Rejected, Juneau Empire, January 7, 2014
Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell on Monday rejected a proposed initiative that sought to ban commercial shore gill nets and set nets in non-subsistence areas.
Supporters of the proposal billed it as a conservation effort and were seeking to move to the signature-gathering process to qualify the proposal for the ballot. Critics, like the Kenai Peninsula Fishermen's Association, called the proposal a fish grab by opposing interests.
Outdoors: The Icy Allure of Winter Fishing, Anchorage Daily News, January 6, 2014
Alaskans hear more than their fair share of fish tales, where the truth is slightly stretched to make the story more exciting. But perhaps one of the biggest fish tales out there is the myth that the good fishing stops when the ice comes in.
With winter lasting over half the year, the sport of ice fishing keeps passionate anglers out through the cold months. Ice fishing fans may spend months planning trips to search for trophy-sized fish. But for people interested in trying out the sport, there are plenty of opportunities in the Anchorage Bowl, and a day on the ice in town is both fun and affordable.

Kensington Mountain Goat Herds Dying Off, Juneau Empire, January 3, 2014.
An Alaska Department of Fish and Game study has found that mountain goat populations at the Kensington Gold Mine dropped 45 percent between 2006 and 2011.
The decline is most likely related to harsh winters, ADF&G wildlife biologist Kevin White said, although the department has yet to conduct a comprehensive analysis. The site's goat numbers for 2012 and 2013 have yet to be finalized, he said.
Compass: Speak Up, Because the Fish Belong to You, Anchorage Daily News, January 2, 2014
On January 31 the Alaska Board of Fisheries starts a 14-day meeting to address the Upper Cook Inlet fisheries. The meeting will take place in Anchorage at the Egan Convention Center. This will present an opportunity to help resolve the "fish wars" that have been the subject of so many print, and electronic media outlets and talked about so often in various blogs.
Mat-Su Hunt Aimed at Keeping Moose Off Roads by Putting Them in Freezers, Anchorage Daily News, January 2, 2014
A unique Alaska Department of Fish and Game winter hunt that allows the public to shoot moose along Mat-Su roads to reduce the risk of vehicle accidents is poised for its busiest year yet.
The so-called "targeted" hunt starts Monday. It will give as many as 300 hunters a shot at a cow or calf moose within two miles of the road in four areas along the Parks Highway, Glenn Highway and Knik-Goose Bay Road.
Fish and Game Releases 2013 FAQ, Peninsula Clarion, December 21, 2013.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game released a Frequently Asked Questions document designed to answer questions about the 2013 Kenai River king salmon runs.
The four-page document, posted to the ADFG web page Friday evening, answers questions about ADFG estimates of size and age of king salmon that made it into the Kenai River during the 2013 season, the sonar programs used to estimate salmon abundance and how ADFG managers use the data to meet escapement goals.[ADF&G Related Document: 2013 Kenai River King Salmon Escapement: Frequently Asked Questions

Alaska Fish and Game Biologists Track Moose Ratios, Seward City News, December 18, 2013.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game's fall moose composition counts on the Kenai Peninsula, which produce estimates on calf to cow, and bull to calf ratios, were completed recently. The ratios can help wildlife managers like Jeff Selinger, Fish and Game's area biologist understand, and then educate local fish and game advisory boards on changes in a given moose population. They also help the department to recommend changes in hunting regulations to the advisory councils and State Board of Game.
The moose who inhabit this region are considered one of its most valuable natural resources, according to Fish and Game. They are particularly cherished as a wild food source, and are recognized icons of the region, so keeping track of their populations, and trying to managing them well is important.
Fish & Game Posts Fun Facts about Santa's Reindeer, Alaska Native News, December 12, 2013.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has updated its webpage with information about Santa's reindeer. Visitors to the site can find a full species profile of this unusual subspecies.
Strong Cook Inlet sockeye run of 6.1M forecast for 2014, Alaska Journal of Commerce, November 26, 2013.
Upper Cook Inlet could see another strong year for sockeye returns if the 2014 forecast for 6.1 million fish comes to fruition.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game released its 2014 forecast Nov. 19, which predicts a run of between 4.4 million to 7.8 million sockeye, or red, salmon. That would be an above average return for the region.
At the 6.1 million fish level, ADFG expects a total harvest of 4.3 million fish for all user groups, and an escapement of 1.8 million sockeyes to all rivers, mainly the Kenai.
Sea cucumber fishery sees higher than average price, Petersburg Pilot, November 21, 2013.
The commercial sea cucumber fishery is wrapping up with a total of 1.4 million pounds harvested as of last Thursday.
Scott Walker, Ketchikan Area Management Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said the fishery started out with around 195 commercial divers when it opened in early October.
ADF&G, Dog Owners, Trappers Come Together for "Sharing Juneau's Trails" Presentation, KTOO, November 7, 2013.
Hikers, skiers, mountain bikers and snowmobilers are just some of the outdoor enthusiasts peacefully coexisting on Juneau trails every day.
Many trail users like to bring their dogs along for a hike, ski or ride. That sets up a potential conflict with an often overlooked user group in Juneau: Trappers.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Alaska Trappers Association this week held a community discussion at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center to help dog owners understand trapping, and hopefully alleviate some concerns.
Widespread Decline Points to Natural Forces on Kings, Alaska Journal of Commerce, November 7, 2013.
The summer of 2012 was tough for king salmon runs. Economic disasters were declared in the wake of poor returns on the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, and in Cook Inlet. Users in all of those areas faced severe restrictions.
Compass: State Does Good, Sustainable Work in Managing Kenai Brown Bears, Anchorage Daily News, November 1, 2013.
In an Oct. 30 Compass piece, former governor Tony Knowles and Dr. John Schoen inaccurately insinuate that the Alaska Board of Game and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are mismanaging brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula and putting their long-term conservation at risk. This is simply not true.
At its meeting in Kenai last spring, the board heard from the department that brown bear numbers on the Kenai Peninsula have increased substantially over the past decade and are continuing to increase.
Kings in cycle: Salmon follow boom and bust pattern, Alaska Journal of Commerce, November 2013.
Dena'ina tradition holds that each spring when the Golden Crown Sparrow warbles its distinctive three-note song the first of the five Pacific salmon runs to the Cook Inlet have arrived.
Legend has it that a man waiting on the bank of the river heard the bird sing, hurried down to the river with a dipnet, jumped into the water and caught a king salmon, according to ethnographer Peter Kalifornsky's book.
The king, or chinook, salmon are the largest of the salmon species and since the world record for a sport-caught king — a 97 pound and 4 ounce fish — was landed in May 1985 by the late Les Anderson, the king fishery on the Kenai River has exploded in both popularity and controversy.
The State's Subsistence Division Presents Draft Results of Talkeetna Harvest Survey, KTNA Radio, October 31, 2013.
The Subsistence Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has compiled data gathered from residents of the Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and Chase communities on the harvest and use of wild resources. The Division is now preparing a report that will likely be released in November, and presented the draft of the results to Talkeetna residents on Wednesday evening.
New Bat in Town, by Mary Catharine Martin, Juneau Empire, November 1, 2013.
There's a new (known) bat in Southeast.
For the last three years, researchers at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game have been researching the little known bats of Southeast Alaska. At this week's "Wildlife Wednesday," hosted by the Southeast Chapter of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, Alaska Department of Fish and Game Regional Wildlife Biologist Karen Blejwas spoke on what they've learned so far.
How Old is That Fish? Fish Aging: The Art of Science, by Amy Carroll, Alaska Fish and Wildlife News, October 2013.
"Assuming the largest fish is the oldest fish is like saying every person taller than 6 feet is over 100 years old." — Kara Hilwig
Recently the "oldest rockfish in the world" was caught in Alaska and the news went viral. Henry Leibman reeled the supposed 200-year-old fish up from 900 feet. At 41 inches long, it was much longer than the current age record-holder, a 32-inch guppy that was estimated to be over 200 years old. As it turns out...
Aerial Photo Census Team Bags Five Big Herds Counting Caribou in Alaska, by Wildlife Staff, Alaska Fish and Wildlife News, October 2013.
Counting caribou via aerial photography depends on a heap of good planning and equipment plus a good bit of weather luck.
In the period of time following calving, caribou can form large aggregations while they seek relief from insects. Insect harassment intensifies under warm, calm weather conditions and caribou tend to group in places where cooler temperatures or more wind may exist such as along the coast or at higher elevations.

Run an Ultra Off the Couch - Page 2
I knew that trying to pile on the miles in such a short amount of time was foolish, so I settled on training with consistent moderation, along with the self-discipline to remind myself that I was not training to finish particularly well, but to enjoy the experience and finish.
By not pushing my body to extreme fatigue, I was able to recover quickly and train consistently. During the week I ran between three and five miles each day, then each weekend did a long run, beginning with seven miles and working up to 24.
The race began at 7:30 a.m., initiating a day-long journey. It was a long, beautiful, treacherous and sometimes painful adventure. Following my planned pace, I barely made the summit cut-off. The first 14 miles climb from 2000 feet in elevation to over 6000 feet, making even the necessary 12:45-per-mile pace taxing.
The miles ticked off, and I hit the 6683-foot summit at noon. The temps hovered around 10 degrees, and winds gusted between 50 and 75 miles per hour. I touched the summit sign, and stopped to look around. I really had made it to the top. I took a short break to walk to the overlook, and stood on a bench to survey the mountains.
The feeling of making my way all the way up, on foot, was amazing (no matter that I had to run back down!). I shouted to the heavens, and smiled. Hopping off the bench, I trotted back down to the summit aid station.
A volunteer shouted to me, "Runner! What's your number?"
I smiled, and shouted back, "40!"
