Two charged in Fisher's death
Two people have been charged with the first-degree murder of Steven Fisher, whose body was found in a roadside ditch near Otho Wednesday.
Officials didn't confirm the identity of the remains as being Fisher, 22, of Fort Dodge, until a determination by the state medical examiner's office Friday afternoon.
Ronald J. Dilley, 28, and Holly N. Ekstrom, 22, both of Fort Dodge, were arrested Friday and are being held on $500,000 bond in the Webster County Jail, according to a press release from the Webster County Sheriff's office.
Fisher's vehicle was discovered by law enforcement officials in the 1300 block of Second Avenue South in Fort Dodge; it was seized and sent to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
At about 5:40 p.m. Wednesday, the Webster County Telecommunications Center received a call from a farmer mowing in a ditch who reported possible human remains along Madison Avenue, west of Otho.
Friends and family last reported seeing Fisher late last week. Fisher's family believed he was staying with Colten Anderson's family, as he sometimes did, Anderson said. Known as "Fish" to his friends, Fisher was reported missing Tuesday by his employer, Liguria Foods in Humboldt.
A 2009 graduate of Fort Dodge Senior High, Fisher was an aviation electronics technician with the Air National Guard and a former newspaper carrier for The Messenger.
Anderson and Christian Aldrich, who both graduated with Fisher, were among his close friends.
They described him as "a good-natured guy" who liked to just hang out, play video games and hacky sack, and who could always win at the card game Palace – even, his friends said, when they cheated a little to try to beat him.
"He always had a smile on his face," said Anderson, who also works at Liguria.
Anderson and Aldrich said their group was "the good crowd," who didn't drink or do drugs, and that Fisher was always the loudest of the bunch, but in a funny – not obnoxious – way.
Aldrich recounted a time they were playing football and Fisher went deep to catch the pass – so deep, in fact, that he crashed head first into a light pole. Fisher, he said, was more concerned about his knee than any potential brain injury.
"He was a kind guy, a good person," Anderson said.
"He was something different," said Aldrich.
The investigation is being conducted by the Webster County sheriff's office, Iowa DCI, Webster County medical examiner, state medical examiner's office, Fort Dodge Police Department and the Iowa State Patrol.

A Rails session would get you up and running with Rails. A Ruby session would get you familiar with Ruby, but not necessarily Rails unless they incorporate it into the course.
Depending on how well you assimilate new languages, I'd suggest buying one or two Ruby language guides or seeking out web tutorials and reading them first. Then book into the course.
You'll then have at least a basic understanding of Ruby and be in a position to grok Rails more easily in the course.
Agreed. If you're going to get an intro course in Rails, the level of Ruby required is fairly low for someone experienced in programming or scripting. And while Ruby is fairly consistent and well-documented, Rails is full of magical inconsistencies which benefit more from a personal introduction.
Good tips. I think I'll take your suggestions and go get the Programming Ruby book. As for the rails studio - I'm still not sure I'll go. Anyone here that has gone want to share any thoughts on it?
I attended a Rails studio last year with virtually no Ruby or Rails experience - I think I had skimmed the Agile Web Dev w/ Rails book, but hadn't had a chance to really play with it. They spent about half of the first day on a high-speed 'intro to Ruby' - I didn't feel behind or lost at all during the event.

Dr. Steven Lee's research focuses on the interaction between the surface and atmosphere of Mars -- primarily by mapping the patterns of wind-blown dust deposits across the planet. These observations help refine our understanding of Martian weather and long-term climate variation, and how landforms have been shaped over time.

After a seven-month trip to Mars and six months of tweaking to
reach its science orbit, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) began
its mission to study the history of water on the Red Planet.
MRO accomplishes this through a series of scientific instruments
that analyze minerals, get up-close photos of the surface of the
planet, look for groundwater, measure how much dust and water are
in the atmosphere, and observe daily global weather.
One of the scientific instruments on board the spacecraft is the
Mars Color Imager, also known as MARCI. MARCI is a special weather
camera that monitors clouds and dust storms. It takes a
picture of the planet every 2.6 seconds. What happens next is the
job of Dr. Steven Lee of the Denver Museum of Nature &
"My project is developing monthly snapshots of the planet. I use
about 400 orbits, or 500,000 camera images-also known as
framelets-stitched together to make a seamless view of Mars," Dr.
Lee said.
The goal is to make a library of these monthly views of Mars
from the beginning of the mission until the spacecraft breaks or
wears out. Scientists use this library to compare the images and
look for patterns or anomalies in Martian climate.
"Every now and then there are global dust storms that form on
Mars. The entire atmosphere gets choked in a cloud. We think 65
million years ago a similar process happened on Earth," Dr. Lee
When Earth was hit by an asteroid during the K-T impact event,
large amounts of dust, ash, and smoke ended up in Earth's
atmosphere, and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
"So by understanding processes today that are happening on other
planets, like Mars, we may well get a better understanding of
processes that happened in the past on Earth," Dr. Lee said.

This is a sneak peek on the 2008 D&AD annual as designed by Neville Brody. See what he's done there? See the pencil shapes? So undeniably Brody, so perfectly D&AD themed. Don't you just want to lick it? Ok, fine, so tht's just me but the best design & advertising in the world will be immortalised with the publication of the D&AD Annual 2008 on the 18th of September. This book is themed 'Digital vs Anti Digital' and for the first time this year, all of the work will be published online, as well as in the iconic book.
D&AD President Simon Waterfall said, "The theme of 'Digital vs Anti Digital' represents the evolution of the digital industry. Clients and creatives are moving away from 'Can we do this technically?' to 'Should we do this for the brand?'. Digital design today is more joined up, more integrated and more about brand behavior than bits and bytes - what a great time to be a part of this industry."
I don't know about you but I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this book and run my fingers across the pencil-polygon pattern. And then lick it.
Ooh, can't wait. I wonder if what's in it will be as lush as the design? :)
I might never open it - don't have to if they put it all online!
That is indeed hawt.
Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine? I should say so.
Just a friendly jest my dear. In my head you do not have an American accent, you sound more like an eloquent Swedish chef. ;)
I give you Morgan Freemans voice, to add drama to everything you say.
I think James Earl Jones would be better: "This... is ADLAND...". :-)
But knowing she is a relatively short redhead, with large boobage, the voice doesn't fit...
I wonder if Joan (on Twitter) knows she's conversing with someone really in advertising (with redhair as well). [I've imagined that your voice would be in a slightly higher register than Joan's, probably with a slight accent (in English), that would allow knowledgeable people to identify you as having come from Sweden/Denmark/New York/San Fran!
hahahah! Now that makes for an interesting visual.

There comes a time in the life of every new parent, usually sooner than later, when they feel the time is right to have their child sleep through the night. Whether they arrive at this point as a result of exhaustion or frustration, or both, they begin to look into ways to help their child sleep better and, hopefully, longer. This is usually the time when parents first learn about "The Ferber Sleep Method."
Dr. Richard Ferber is the director of The Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at the Children's Hospital in Boston. Ferber's Sleep Method, sometimes called "Ferberizing," has become very popular with parents and pediatricians, though both groups readily admit that this method is not for everyone. Some feel that Dr. Ferber's book, "Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems" is a godsend, others feel it can make both babies and parents suffer.
Ferber's method takes a progressive approach to getting your child to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. It involves putting your child to bed while awake and teaching your child to fall asleep on his or her own. The Ferber method advises that you leave the room once you put your child to bed and say goodnight. If your child cries, you must wait a certain amount of time before checking on them. (The period of time suggested in Ferber's book depends on your comfort level, how long you've been using it and how many times you've already checked on your child that particular evening.)
When you do return to your child's room to check on them, soothe them with your voice and rub your child gently with your hand, but do not pick them up, rock them, or feed them during these checks. Ferber believes that in many cases waking up is a learned behavior, which the child may have associated with some type of reward, and by removing the reward(s) associated with waking up, a child will learn to sleep through the night.
According to Ferber, the next step is to gradually increase the amount of time between checks. After about a week, according to Ferber, your child will learn that crying earns nothing more than a brief visit, and that it isn't worth the effort. They learn to fall asleep on their own. It should be noted that the Ferber Method is recommended only for children six months of age or older, after their need for a nighttime feeding has passed.
Changing behavior is never easy, and can be complicated tenfold when it involves your own child. Our need to "make it all better" can get in the way of teaching our children to sleep through the night. Many parents are not comfortable letting a child cry for any period of time. It is that fact that has raised controversy over Ferber's method. Still for those parents who can do it, it may offer a quick and relatively easy solution to the problem of getting a good night's rest, for everyone.

Skip to comments.Report: Frickin Fracking Could Ruin Everything for Leftist Activists
Posted on 02/15/2013 3:34:20 AM PST by Kaslin
A new report from the UK research team at Price Waterhouse and Cooper confirms what we knew all along: We're right and they're wrong.
Really wrong; once-in-a-lifetime, disastrously wrong if grading on the scale the rest of us are subject to.
Grading on the liberal scale, however, it's just normal, everyday, run of the mill errors in judgment, math, worldview, physics and fluid mechanics that liberals deal with all the time in an effort to "wish" the world to Utopia while their leaders are busy creating Dystopia for all but a select few.
This latest discovery that we are right and they are wrong, shouldn't shock us.
It joins a long list of things liberals have been pantsed on.
For example: We were right about Obamacare all along. It won't decrease costs, it won't cover all Americans and it won't preserve the private insurance market. And with due respect to Justice John Roberts and the Supremes- do-whop, do-whop- its not even constitutional.
Oh, and that's not all we were right about.
We were right about the stimulus, we were right about jobs, we were right about Obama being a socialist of the Euro variety; we were right about Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Benghazi.
We were right about Libya being a pretty bad idea; we were right about Dodd-Frank's suckyness and the mortgage mess being caused by bad liberal policy; we were right about Obama wanting to raise taxes on everyone, taking guns from everyone and having contempt for the constitution.
But on this latest error, I say again: We are really right, and they are really wrong; once-in-a-lifetime, disastrously wrong.
The London branch of Price Waterhouse Cooper has released a report on shale oil and gas that has the Left afraid.
Here's the frightening truth: "Shale oil (light tight oil) is rapidly emerging as a significant and relatively low cost new unconventional resource in the US," writes PWC in its February, 2013 report Shale oil: the next energy revolution. "There is potential for shale oil production to spread globally over the next couple of decades. If it does, it would revolutionise global energy markets, providing greater long term energy security at lower cost for many countries."
And of course the Left can not afford that kind of nonsense. Jobs and economic growth? Where does it all end?
Oh, but it gets worse for the envro-whackos.
PWC estimates that if shale oil is fully developed, US Gross Domestic Product could grow an additional 2-5 percent per year, greatly reduce the influence of OPEC, lower global energy prices, and with NatGas thrown in, add at least a million jobs to manufacturing that are now just going to energy costs.
That means- I'm saying this, not PWC- that we could significantly reduce the deficit, without drastically cutting benefits for a generation of Americans who have planned to count on it. It means- I'm saying this, not PWC- we don't have to raise taxes. Actually it means we could go to some sort of a simplified tax code, like the fair or flat tax.
Here's what I wrote a year ago about US shale oil development in The GOP Can Add 10 Million Jobs and $15 Trillion to US Economy without Spending a Dime–kind of a prescient title if one considers the president's SOTU message:
And along the way, the U.S. would create at least 10 million new U.S. jobs, keeping around $500 billion per year here at home. Over twenty years that would be an additional $12.5 trillion in GDP even at a modest 2 percent growth rate. At 4 percent the numbers are closer to $15.5 trillion.
PWC estimates the GDP increase to be between 2-5 percent in the US. Using today's GDP figures that's between $300 billion and $750 billion, with my estimate being a nice midway point in the PWC estimate.
As I have pointed out all along, the Keystone pipeline issue isn't about the safety of a pipeline. Obama and enviro-whacko friends know that if they allow Canadian tar sands oil to be developed via the Keystone pipeline, that the US will also start to develop their own tar-sands and shale oil. The US contains well over 600 years of known reserves and that would allow the US to be a net exporter of oil. If that happens, the "green" economy ruse that the left has sponsored, already reeling from bankruptcies and cronyism, would collapse.
It would show that there is no shortage of oil and "green" energy can not compete with fossil fuels.
From the UK's left-wing Guardian:
"Digging up and burning new reserves of fossil fuels can only exacerbate the huge negative impact on the global economy of climate change," said Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace, in an emailed statement.
"Any short term price gains for consumers will ultimately be dwarfed by the impact of rising temperatures on every aspect of economic life."
Tony Bosworth, energy campaigner at Friends of the Earth, similarly warned of the environmental problems increasing fracking could cause, adding that governments should instead focus investment on green technologies.
"We've already got more than enough fossil fuels - more than we can afford to burn if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change," he toldBusinessGreen. "The UK has a huge renewable resource and if we want [to meet climate targets] we should be investing in those."
Because, yeah, that's really working out well.
The website Green Corruption lists 23 bankruptcies and 29 troubled companies that took advantage of Obama's green energy financing schemes…and counting
None of those messy jobs, or economic growth there.
Just the way liberals like it.
Yep, we can ruin that scheme.
Shale oil (light tight oil) is rapidly emerging as a significant and relatively low cost new unconventional resource in the US,
These wells are neither cheap, nor long lasting. It requires more expensive wells and the wells don't last long a high flow rates. Which means you need more of them; we have to keep drilling just to hold a steady flow rate.

Exactly! Plentiful, cheap energy ruins their plans. Who says there is no God!
And yet the price of gas keeps rising, so the libe are happy about something.
Regular Gas was $3.29.9 a gal earlier yesterday morning at Murphy Gas (Wal Mart) it went up to $3.39.9 a couple of hours later and then a couple of hours later it went up another 10 cents. That is 20 cents in just 4 hours.
Look at me, I'm SMILING! A great way to start an otherwise gloomy Friday morning.
We are right. But we still keep giving the bully our lunch-money, so we're maybe not so clever as we'd like to think.
I'm too lazy to look up the numbers, but I suspect that the massive amount of new (and productive!) jobs created by this fracking boom is the only reason we can't see that we are deep in a recession. The pitiful job numbers that dear-leader takes credit for would be horrific without this oil-boom, but he blathers-on selling his Global-Warming snake-oil and castigating fossil fuels.
So called (I hate the term) "Obamcare" won't work, except as a massive and expensive rip-off of the tax-payer. It would be nice if we couldn't afford it. Fortunately for the dummy-in-chief, we are willing and able to role up our sleaves and do all the work while he sells his schtick about Evil-Oil to the masses. That way, we can pay to lose our freedom over our own healthcare and feed and clothe even more bureaucrats to rule over us.
So how smart are we really?
Another Ransom Note where he uses a lot of words to say: "Neener, Neener!" And, as thackney commented above, the technical accuracy is a bit lacking, too.
This is what kills me about liberals. They could have most of their GD stinking welfare state if they'd just STOP putting a drag on the economy. But they've got an ideology that isn't just about helping the poor, it's about hurting the rich, and by doing so they hurt everyone. God I hate these religious fools (Marxism is a religion as much as an economic theory).
Well, I think economics would dictate that as demand continues, the cost of such wells would drop, and we would have a lot more wells producing even at the lower rates.
What "is" the typical production curve for one of these guys.
This is completely different from fracking, isn't it?
Source for Graph:
North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources
The article is talking about oil shale deposits and other tight formations. These tight formations are not economically to produce without hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing and production from these wells are directly tied.
It will only be cheap as long as the government doesn't step in and sabotage this new development by regulating the crap out of it.
Measured on a "per barrel of oil produced", I don't think deep water is expensive compared to other oil facilities. The cost a bunch of money, but they produce a bunch of oil.
Solar, Wind, yeah those are more expensive. But to call it "relatively low cost" when it cost as much or more than 80~90% of all other the energy produced, is fraud.
Deep Water is great, AFTER you've paid the zillion dollars to get it up and going. And oh, then AFTER a hurricane shuts you down. And oh, then after that same hurricane does a half zillion dollars worth of damage to the rig. And oh, then AFTER Obama runs you out of business. Yeah, deep water is practically a give away.
Are you claiming $/barrel it is not in line with shale production?
It has significant risk, but the big boys don't spend those billions because they lose money compared to the Eagle Ford or Permian Basin.
I"m claiming you are using a static analysis for an industry that is dynamic and not static. You are also using historical data for a business that is forward looking. Looking forward, with reasonable assumptions about technologies and restrictions and so on, not to mention deposits, and increased efficiencies of scale, it is not a fraud to call this technology "relatively low cost."
The article is spot on. The socialists can't stand that we have relatively low cost oil and nat gas. Because their "green" energy sources can't compete at these prices.
The supply of oil is plenty. We have it in the USA.
The people will have jobs and need fewer government handouts.
Yep, it foils their plans...
This article makes perfect sense, why would you treat it with derision?
Instead of attacking (Alinsky style?), why not point out the errors?
We disagree, but FReepers sometimes, every once in a while, may do that.
My lib-in-law frequently says "oh, you just blame everything on liberals, don't you" in trying to dismiss any pointing out of yet of "we're right, you're wrong".
My answer is "yes, and rightly so - care to tell me how they AREN'T responsible?"
ENERGY = life and liberty.
Both things the left opposes.
I have great faith in ingenuity, "if" it is allowed to work. Unfortunately, pretty much every notion promoted by the leftists seems designed to actively prevent such activity.
Dirty little secret is that Democrat State and Local Politicians in PA, OH and other politically sensitive areas have already spent the money from this new revenue stream for the next decade on out. Obama risks a full-blown intraparty Civil War if he tries to screw with this.
I didn't say there was an error, just that the "told you so" perspective was tiresome across the breadth of article's subjects. The article was spot on.
"the technical accuracy is a bit lacking, too." - t45
You agreed with thackney's lame attack on the article, or so I thought.
Thanks for claifying with: "the article is spot on"
I should have addressed my post to thackney also.
Thack you're using verifiable facts again.
That's rare these days on FR.....
thackney backed up his comment with the data he posted @ #13, a chart he's previously posted or at least one similar to it. I'd seen it before and understood the context of his comment on the article trying to make horizontal drilling and fracking seem less expensive than it is when compared to the steep decline curve on flow rates.
Yeah, I get that a lot too, and they don't like my answer because it's the same as yours.
But the conclusion that almost everybody is interested in:
If it does, it would revolutionise global energy markets, providing greater long term energy security at lower cost for many countries.
The shale fields using hydraulic fracture are NOT going to lead a significant and lasting decrease in price. If the supply out runs the demand pushing the price low, we will see the same result we have already seen in the Gas Drilling in the US.
The investors will quit spending so much to drill and complete these expensive wells when the payout falls dramatically, just like we have already seen in the gas drilling. And given the quick fall off in the production curves, it will not take long to see the supply to fall and cycle the boom/bust again.
For those not aware of the steep fall in drilling rigs going after gas in the last couple years:
U.S. Natural Gas Rotary Rigs in Operation
Since you plucked that chart out of a presentation that is very positive about Bakken drilling, don't you feel the slightest bit funny about using to bolster an argument against Bakken drilling?
The very next page of the presentation in the linked PDF talks about the strong positive economics of these wells. Each well with 540,000 barrels expected to be produced, making an expected profit of $20 million. (Not to mention all the other salaries, taxes, and fees the revenue from these wells generate.)
I think that adds to the dependability of the chart. I am not arguing against Bakken, Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Utica, etc in any way. I think the production is going to continue to grow, jobs are going to grow, imports are going to shrink, energy independence is going to grow.
What I do argue against, is a dramatic and lasting price drop because this technology. The Supply/Demand curves are real and if we see a significant, lasting price drop, the drilling will drop and following that, the productions will start to drop. Just like Natural Gas in the country.
The very next page of the presentation in the linked PDF talks about the strong positive economics of these wells.
Did you see any basis of that economics using a falling price? Those number are based on current pricing.
I agree that these wells will not dramatically drop the price of oil/gas. I think they will stabilize the price.
The benefit to the US economy will be dramatic, and positive.
I also think that the "green" energy approaches are dead in the water, due to this relatively low-priced domestic source of energy.
Green energy cannot compete at these prices.
The socialists are upset their pet (crony) projects in their central planning economy are failing. (Their solution is to heavily tax oil based energy and give tax credits to "green" projects. It still won't work, because of the relatively low-cost of Bakken and other tight formation oil and gas.)
We agree
The benefit to the US economy will be dramatic, and positive.
We agree
I also think that the green energy approaches are dead in the water, due to this relatively low-priced domestic source of energy.
We don't agree. While I think money from the Tax Payers is wasted on the initiative with next to nothing to show for it, I don't believe the liberals have given up. Nor do I believe sufficient number of people going to the ballots place that as a priority.
Green energy cannot compete at these prices.
Not compete fairly, but the subsidies haven't ended.
The socialists are upset their pet (crony) projects in their central planning economy are failing.
I agree, but I have not seen the conservative take over the legislature and executive branches of government lately. In some areas, but not enough and not at the Federal Level.
ok - have a good one

Partitioning is a method by which a table is divided into multiple independent logical units. Each logical unit used in partitioning is called a partition. Partitioning can enhance manageability, performance and availability. Some advantages of partitioning are as follows:
Three types of partitioning methods are supported by CUBRID: range partitioning, hash partitioning, and list partitioning.
The maximum number of partitions cannot exceed 1,024. Each partition of a table is created as its subtable. The subtables created by the partitioning process cannot be altered or deleted by users. The name of the subtable is stored in the system table in a 'class_name__p__partition_name' format. Database users can check the partitioning information in the db_class and db_partition virtual tables. They can also check the information by using the ;sc <table name> command in the CUBRID Manager or the CSQL Interpreter.
The data types of columns allowed as partitioning expressions are as follows:
The following shows operators and functions that can be used in partitioning expressions.

Nice Kyusu, Brian.
A good rinsing is usually fine, unless you are detecting earthy aromas.
I say nay to houjicha in this one, houjicha aromas can be very persistant and will only be more so with each use for houjicha. Soon all your sencha will taste like houjicha.
BTW, 3 out of every 4 times, I reach for a stainless screened kyusu to brew ... very carefree and the quickest pouring ... and virtually always cheaper.

Recipe courtesy of Betsy Oppenneer
- Sara's Secrets
Kringle is a favorite bread to serve at Christmas, Easter, anniversary celebrations or any special occasion in Denmark. The bread was developed[ in the 1800s when Danish bakers went on strike to receive wages rather than just their customary room and board. Bakery owners rebelled and brought in bakers from Austria instead. The Austrian bakers had a unique method of folding light yeast dough with layers of butter to produce a flaky crust. When the strike was finally settled, the Danish bakers were so impressed with the Viennese bread they adopted the technique themselves. Many Danes settled in Wisconsin in the late 1800s and brought with them their craft of making Kringle and other Danish pastries. Originally Kringle was made into a pretzel shape, but customers complained that there wasn't enough filling in the overlapping areas of dough. The current shape was developed in Wisconsin and spread back to Denmark. Note: Don't throw out the egg whites -- all will be used before you finish. Kringle dough is mixed -- not kneaded -- so a bread machine is not recommended. The dough must be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. The almond filling is the most traditional, but fruit and nut fillings are gaining popularity.]
- For the Dough:
- 1 scant tablespoon or 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg white
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very cold
- Apple Pecan Filling, recipe follows
- For the Topping:
- 1 large egg white
- Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Apple Pecan Filling:
- I'm partial to Granny Smith apples because I like their tart flavor and they keep their shape during baking
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups finely chopped, peeled and cored Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
DirectionsFor the Topping:
For the Dough: In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast in the water to soften. Heat the cream to 100 degrees F and add it to the yeast along with the egg yolks and egg white. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cardamom, and flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the size of tiny peas. This process also can be done easily in a food processor. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not mix too much because you do not want to soften the cold butter. You should see small flour-coated pieces of butter throughout the dough.
Overnight rise: Put the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and a tightly woven towel and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.
Shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a 24-inch square. Fold the dough in half from top to bottom, then fold the dough in half from side to side to make a 12-inch square. Cover with a towel and let rest 10 minutes.
Working with 1 square of dough at a time, roll the dough into a 12 by 24-inch rectangle. Spread half of filling evenly over two-thirds of the dough, filling an area of 8 by 24 inches. Fold the portion of dough that has no filling onto the center third of filled dough, then fold the other third of dough to the center, forming a 4 by 24-inch rectangle.
Place the dough seam side down on a parchment-lined or well-greased baking sheet. Bring the ends of the dough almost together (about 4 inches apart) to form a horseshoe. Repeat with the second piece of dough. If you cannot get both Kringles on a baking sheet, cover the second one and put it in the refrigerator until the first Kringle finishes baking; then bake.
Second Rise: Cover the with a tightly woven towel and let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat Oven: About 10 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Final Preparation: For the topping, beat the egg white with a whisk or fork until frothy and brush over the loaves. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and then granulated sugar.
Bake and Cool: Bake for 25 minutes until the internal temperature of the bread reached 190 degrees. Immediately remove the bread from the baking sheet and place on a rack to cool.
In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, apples, pecans, butter, and cinnamon together until well mixed. Use to fill 2 loaves.

The Cubs added another arm to the rotation today, signing right-handed pitcher Scott Feldman to a one-year contract.
Feldman, 29, spent the last eight years with the Texas Rangers. He went 6-11 with a 5.09 ERA in 2012 in 29 outings (21 starts). During his career with Texas, Feldman posted a 39-44 record with a 4.81 ERA in 204 appearances, 101 as a starter. General manager Jed Hoyer said Feldman will be used as a starter and not in the bullpen.
Feldman, who is 6-foot-7, produced his best season in 2009 when he went 17-8 with a 4.08 ERA in 34 appearances (career-high 31 starts).
The Cubs must open a spot on the 40-man roster for Feldman, which is expected to happen later today.

Site News – Back in Business
Well hurrah, it seems that the site issues of the last week are finally behind me. Now that I know you guys can view the site again it's time to get caught up! I will take this opportunity to address several things in 1.
* The Subscribe to categories feature is currently disabled. That means if you are subscribed to receive email notifications when new posts are added you currently will not be getting them — because when I moved hosts I had to import all the posts over, the script thinks they are new and wants to send out an email about every one. That's over 2000 posts it wants to notify 400+ people about, eep, obviously I can't let this happen, so until I find a solution the script is simply turned off…and apologies if you did get several in a row a few days ago, this was when I discovered the problem.
* Humberto mentioned in the comments that the RSS feed was not working, I believe I have now solved this but let me know if you are still experiencing problems.
Other than that I think every thing is back to how it should be now, if there's anything you've discovered though please do let me know as I am not aware of it.
Next up some questions I have been getting about shows:
* Where is The Amazing Race Asia 3 episode 2?
Unfortunately the user who uploaded the first episode has not done the second one, I don't know if they plan to or not. I have searched high and low for another source but so far have only managed to find one who has the episode uploaded and they have embedding disabled so I cannot post it here. I will keep looking for a source and if you know of one please do let me know, in the meantime you can watch episode 2 directly on this youtube channel.
* Why can't I view some of your Big Brother UK videos any more?
Over the last week I have been receiving more and more emails each day from youtube letting me know that channel 4 have made a copyright claim and have limited access to the videos. They have blocked any one from the following countries from viewing the videos:
Guernsey, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, United Kingdom
Unfortunately this causes me a big problem, as I am from the UK — I can now no longer view my own videos. I don't know why they suddenly have a problem with it being on youtube, I have been uploading it for years without issues and it doesn't make sense that they'd decide now, after the show is over, to make their claims. It brings into question whether or not I will be able to post future series of Big Brother UK.
and finally…
* Can you post The Biggest Loser USA 6?
I would love to, but unfortunately cannot. I tried to do The Biggest Loser USA 5 and it was removed from youtube in a matter of hours, I tried to post it to dailymotion instead and it was removed from there. I tried to upload the first season a few months ago, but again that was removed within a few days. Some companies just don't want their shows online and NBC is one of them — as it says in the FAQs I have no interest in playing cat and mouse with them, I post shows that I know (or hope at least) will remain online for many months to come, I don't post shows that I know will be removed.

|The Ulen-Brooks Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving
|M Swimming & Diving
|(617) 495-2268
|Previous College:
|West Chester State 1979
|16th Season
Tim Murphy has led the Crimson to six Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League championships and a 122-11 record in his 15 seasons as the Ulen-Brooks Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving.
The Crimson won EISL titles under Murphy in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2008. Murphy led Harvard to Eastern titles in three of his first four seasons, including a win by a 409-point margin in his first season on the job. Three of his first four Crimson teams posted 9-0 records in dual meets, and he has totaled seven undefeated seasons.
The Crimson finished the 2012-13 ranked 18th in the final CSCAA poll with an unbeaten 9-0 record in dual meets, including a 7-0 mark against the Ivy League. For the fifth straight year Harvard placed second at the Ivy League Championships, but posted six new school records and earned an impressive 25 All-Ivy accolades.
In 2011-12 Harvard finished second at the Ivy League Championships but earned an impressive 28 All-Ivy League honors, including four first team and three second team honors for sophomore Chris Satterthwaite '14 who shared the Phil Moriarty Award as the Swimmer of the Meet. Five members of the team went on to compete at the NCAA Championships where the 400 free relay teams and 800 free relay teams earned All-America Honorable Mention status.
In 2010-11, Murphy led the Crimson to its first undefeated season since the 2007-08 campaign, finishing a close second to Princeton at the 2011 Ivy League Championships. In 2007-08, Murphy guided the Crimson to the Ivy League and EISL championships, as Harvard finished 9-0 overall with an 8-0 record in the EISL and 7-0 mark in the Ivy League.
Harvard athletes have garnered All-America honors in 22 individual events and four relays under Murphy and have earned All-America honors in 12 of his 15 seasons. A total of 32 Crimson have earned AA status during his tenure, putting Murphy second only to Harold Ulen's total of 64 All-America honors for most in Harvard coaching history. Murphy mentored Harvard to four individual All-America performances and two All-America relay honors in 2001 while his teams also registered four or more All-America finishes in 2000 (two individual, two relay), 2002 (four individual) and 2005 (three individual, two relay). Murphy's 2006 squad placed 20th as a team at the NCAA Championships.
Murphy, the 1999 EISL Coach of the Year, brought a wealth of national coaching experience to the Crimson program when he took the reigns prior to the 1998-99 season. He has since been appointed as the head Olympic coach for the men's open water team for the 2012 Olympic Games, serves on the OIOC committee for USA Swimming, and is on the board of directors for New England Swimming. He has placed athletes on Olympic, World University, Pan-Pacific and Pan-American teams, including Harvard alum and 2012 Olympian Alex Meyer '10 who was named the 2011 Fran Crippen Memorial Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year by USA Swimming. Murphy was named head coach of the USA Swimming men's open water team prior to the 2011 FINA World Championships.
Murphy, who served as an assistant men's coach at the 2009 World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia, also worked as an assistant at the 2001 World University Games in Beijing and at the 1993 World Short Course Championships. He was also a member of the Open Water Staff at the 1998 World Championships in Australia.
Before his arrival at Harvard, Murphy spent 13 years as the head coach of the nationally renowned Wilton YMCA Wahoos in Wilton, Conn. He led the Wahoos to seven national championships and was named the YMCA National Coach of the Year in 1989. Murphy also garnered Connecticut Swimming Coaches Association Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and 1998.
Murphy, who is also the head coach of the Crimson Aquatic club team, was a volunteer coach for the men and women's teams at Yale University from 1996-98. He was the head coach of both the men's and women's teams at Ursinus College (Pa.) from 1979-80 before serving as the assistant men's coach at his alma mater, West Chester State, from 1980-82.
Murphy currently serves as vice president of the American Swimming Coaches Association Board of Directors and was a 10-year recipient of the American Coaches Association Certificate of Excellence. He counts his high school coach Frank Paris, college coach Chuck Pagano, and club coaches Jack Simon and Bob Mattson among his mentors.
Murphy graduated from West Chester State in 1979 with a degree in Health and Physical Education and also earned his Master of Science in Physical Education. He was inducted into the West Chester hall of fame as a member of the Class of 2012. Murphy currently lives in Pepperell with his wife, Dorothea, and their four children (Daniel, Shannon, Sean and Kelley).

Coming Soon: The Tesla-Based Mercedes
What is this car, and why is Mercedes staking its future on Tesla?
One occupational hazard of living where Tesla test-drives its cars under development is that as long as I'm not asleep or fetching stuff from the basement, all I need to do is to look out the window and every few minutes I will see these cars passing by. So for over a year now I have been looking at the future Tesla-based Mercedes as often as every hour, whether I like it or not.
Sometimes, the Tesla-based Mercedes test cars are parked on a public street. I took this picture (among many) last October:
This Tesla-based Mercedes is of a similar size and shape as Ford Motors' (RIMM) C-Max, which is sold as both a regular hybrid and as a plug-in hybrid version -- and which I recently drove 1,247 miles in a high-speed endurance test.
In other words, it's a short and somewhat tall station wagon.
Obviously, unlike the Ford C-Max, this Mercedes is a pure electric car. The batteries are, just like in the Tesla Model S, laying flat inside the floor, which is about 5 inches to 6 inches thick.
Tesla also helped Toyota bring to market an all-electric version of its very popular RAV4 small/medium-SUV. Only 2,600 of those cars are being made, and sales started last September. I have driven this outstanding Tesla-based Toyota (TM) on multiple occasions.
I highly recommend the Toyota RAV4 electric to anyone interested in an all-electric car, and for whom 110 miles of range will fit the intended purpose.
The main difference between the Toyota and the Mercedes is this: In the case of Toyota, Tesla took an existing car and re-designed it to make it an all-electric car. In the case of Mercedes, it looks like Tesla took part in the engineering from Day 1 and is therefore able to better optimize the car for all-electric duty.
How will this manifest itself in terms of differences between the Toyota and the Mercedes? The Toyota has a 42-kW battery, and judging from crawling under the Mercedes on a reasonably clean street, I'd say the Mercedes has a 36-kW battery.
42 kW vs. 36 kW: So does this mean the Mercedes will have slightly less range than the Toyota's 110-mile average? Not necessarily. There are a couple of reasons for this:
1. The Mercedes is a more aerodynamic car and sits lower to the ground. Once you start going above 50 miles per hour or so, aerodynamics matter more, and this should help the Mercedes perform more economically than the Toyota, especially on the freeway.
2. Seeing as it appears Tesla was part of the engineering of this Mercedes from Day 1 as opposed to it being an engineering after-thought, it should be able to optimize the weight of the car better. I would not be surprised to see the Mercedes be at least 200 lbs lighter than the Toyota. This should compensate for the smaller battery in the Mercedes.

Re: Tutorial Requests
I would like to see a tutorial on making a enquiry form/contact page that sends an email to your inbox. Can's see a tutorial in the current list.
That seems simple enough, I'll write that
This is an archive from Rails Forum. Check out the new community here!
A forum for Ruby on Rails users
I would like to see a tutorial on making a enquiry form/contact page that sends an email to your inbox. Can's see a tutorial in the current list.
That seems simple enough, I'll write that
Actually, just found one
I think a good tutorial from more experience programmers would be how to plan a new rails site/app. Most people from what I have read on the board, including myself, have learned RoR from either the Pickaxe or Ruby on Rails book and the Bible that is Agile Web Development.
It may be helpful to have a guide or some tips on breaking down an application before you start making a plan and some things to watch out for for future proofing the app.
I was wondering if there will be any follow up based on the ..
I would really like to see articles on ActiveResources i.e. consuming REST client. Specifically a REST client that consumes any XML not by creating a REST Server. I have seen many such tutorial on the net where the writer first create a REST Server and then create a REST client which is good but it would be nice to see a REST client that just takes an XML feed and do something.. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
I might be wrong but I think Activeresources clients can only consume RESTful Services.. after digging around the docs.. Which is by the way is updated now I found the following in the README file "Current rails trunk" under the directory activeresources.
"Active Resource (ARes) connects business objects and REST web services. It is a library intended to provide transparent proxying capabilities between a client and a RESTful service"
So I guess you can't just consume any XML? I would be very happy if someone could confirm my findings.
In theory I think ARes clients could consume any XML, RESTful or otherwise. However, ARes is built to consume Rails RESTful services and it would take some wrestling to make it work with something else. I think one of the points of ARes is to come up with a standard convention for the way RESTful services are built. Currently you can build a RESTful service however you want. For example, upcoming.org has a RESTful api, but the requests are formed differently than in Rails and the response XML is different. (http://upcoming.org/services/api/, see Quick Links for a link to language specific libs to consume the service) You could easily make the requests to the correct URIs, but then you would have to interpret the XML you got back. If you are consuming another Rails service ARes would already know what to do with it.
if anyone could make a screencast tutorial that would be great. here's a free screencast app for win/linux: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.php
As for specific tutorial topics i am beginning rails and have been running into trouble when it comes to relationships and user systems.
I know a good one.
Finding/Editing/Creating children models based on parent models.
for example:
You have a field that auto-completes band names, once that one gets submitted, a album-name fields appears (with autocomplete scoped to the band)...
or the same thing with Company names and then the contacts within that company (so you could then add some tasks or something for them)

I have an idea for a tutorial. I would like to see a tutorial that explained the scriptaculous library along with the Prototype library (especially observe_field, I can't ever get it to work). In other words, I've been looking for a tutorial on all the common rails AJAX calls plus implement javascript and DOM elements to help with updating pages (usually multiple elements).
A tutorial explaining how to use the Java-POI library and ruby wrapper in Ruby/Rails would be amazing. Everyone wants it, but no seems to know how to do it. (Or maybe its just me) Just my $.02
I'd like to see a tutorial on setting up a windows production server with Apache 2.2, Mysql5, and Mongrel.
Couple requests,
I'd like to see a tutorial about sending an email to a user or group of users at a time specified by the user. Hopefully that makes sense.
a tutorial about integrating user timezones into an app using tzinfo / tztime. for example like a calendar type of tutorial that sends out email alerts to users for events or whatever.
Last edited by internets (2007-04-03 21:23:54)
I would like to see a tutorial on a option /dropdownlist that dynamically find the associated data with that opion. So a bands => albums or Genres => movies, that sort of thing. Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Tutorial request. I'd like to have a simple date math tutorial. I'd like to be able to determine things like the number of days between dates, date formatting, and some examples that use all the methods of the Date object.
I'd like a tutorial on how to set up a forum. Specifically, I'd like to know how to create a site that let's members create new postings and add comments to existing postings. It seems like this might already exist, but I haven't found it yet.
I'm less interested in how to manage membership and logins and so on (although obviously that's important) -- a lot of books talk about how to do that.
Thanks for any suggestions
A tutorial showing how to create an advanced search form would be extrememly helpful - I am thinking something exactly like the search form on this site.
I would like to see a solid tutorial working with image upload WITHOUT using the database. It really seems that we should avoid the database/binary blob method and stick with straight files and in that vein it would be nice to see something along those lines while also working with some interesting plugins for image handling.
I'd like to see some more advanced tutorials done with Hobo. The developer has some great screencasts, however it would be nice to see some different and varied genres of applications tackled. http://hobocentral.net
Can anyone please write (or link) a really good ActionMailer tutorial. I've looked over the API and a few other sites but it didn't have a complete view of things IMO.
It would be nice if the tutorial had some examples of different ways to call the Mailer (That may not have made since. Clarification: Different use cases. ie a view with a selection box populated from a "Users" table that would displayed their names and you selected one/many to send an email too OR having a simple form [read: no database object] that had some info including an email address that would send an email)
Hope that wasn't too long and thanks in advance.
EDIT: This is more like what I was looking for - http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages
I don't know why it didn't come up when I searched the first time.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The United States Olympic Committee will coordinate and oversee USA Fencing's High Performance Program for the 2008 Olympic Games and will supervise and guarantee the funding for athletes, coaches and programs leading up the Games.
Due to recent financial difficulties experienced by USA Fencing, the national governing body of the sport, the USOC in cooperation with USA Fencing has stepped in to make sure that the programs and financing are in place to sustain the NGB's High Performance Program. Paramount for the USOC is making certain America's fencers have the support and resources they need in preparing for and competing in the 2008 Olympic Games.
The USOC and USA Fencing will develop and implement the long-term solution for the NGB after the Games in Beijing.
The U.S. women's sabre team is ranked number one in the world and has high medal expectations for Beijing. Becca Ward is ranked number one in the world, Sada Jacobson is number two and Mariel Zagunis is ranked fifth.
Zagunis won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and Jacobson took bronze in the event. In 2006, the USA swept the medals at the World Championships with Ward taking the gold, Zagunis the silver and Jacobson the bronze. That year Ward also won the world title in the Cadet World Championships. In 2005, the women's saber team won the team gold medal at the World Championships. Ward also won the Junior and Cadet World Championships, giving her three world titles for the season. Jacobson won the World Junior Championships in 2003.
The U.S. men's sabre team narrowly missed a bronze medal in 2004, finishing fourth. Keeth Smart, the 10th ranked sabre fencer in the world, returns for his third Olympic team in the event for Beijing.
Seth Kelsey is currently ranked fourth in the world in men's epee.
A three-person committee will be appointed by the USOC to provide oversight to the program.
Twelve fencers will represent the United States in Beijing, including men and women's sabre, men's and women's foil and men's and women's epee. The USOC will finance these athletes with direct payments and funding for necessary expenses through the Games. Also financed by the USOC will be three replacement athletes who may be needed in case of injuries to the Olympic qualifiers.

Day 1 (Cusco) A driver transfers you to the Lima airport for your flight to Cusco, where youll be met by your guide. Following an early lunch, our guide takes us on a walking excursion through the hilly, cobblestone streets of Cusco, where ancient Inca walls are still part of the cityscape. This afternoon we drive to the archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman, just outside the city, to walk among ancient stones and climb mysterious stairwells.
Day 2 (Sacred Valley) We head straight to the Sacred Valley, an hours drive away, to begin our exploration at the small, traditional weaving town of Chincheros. From here we continue on to the ancient agricultural terraces of Moray, an archaeological wonder and fascinating example of micro-climate agriculture. Our next stop is the salt mines of Maras. We have the option of walking the hour-long trail to the valley floor, stopping at Pichingoto (a small collection of adobe homes built into the cliffs) along the way.
Day 3 (Sacred Valley and river float ) Our river float begins at Pachar on mellow waters surrounded by spectacular views of the mountains and archaeological remains, and continues toward Ollantaytambo with its amazing Inca terraces. The float features easy Class II with a fun Class III rapid at the finish. Lunch is at a community-owned restaurant at our take-out point. This is a great chance to enjoy Andean cuisine while supporting community projects. After lunch we drive to the Ollantaytambo fortress to walk its many stairs, corridors, and pathways and learn about its unique, incredible construction.
Day 4 (Ollantaytambo and Pisac) Markets and crafts are our focus this morning, at the famous Pisac market. From there we visit the Pisac ruins then either make the two-hour return walk or get a ride back with our driver. This afternoon we stop by a chicheria to sample some of the traditional alcoholic or nonalcoholic chicha beverage. Well also visit a ceramics store, getting back to our inn with time to wander the gardens before dinner.
Day 5 (Machu Picchu) After breakfast, we return to Ollantaytambo to catch the train, enjoying gorgeous scenery on the way to Machu Picchu. With Machu Picchus large scale and many stairs, we take four hours to explore this world wonder, walking up, down, and around the mountainous complex. Our phenomenal guided exploration is rich in information and theories on its history. If you are feeling adventurous, you may choose to hike up above the ruins to a spectacular viewpoint.
Day 6 (Lake Titicaca ) After some naturalist-led activities this morning, we catch the train back to the Sacred Valley and transfer to Cusco to catch a flight to Juliaca and Lake Titicaca. Most travelers dont take the time to go beyond Machu Picchu, but this short flight delivers you into a whole new world, with floating reed islands, very different Inca ruins, desert homes, and the highest navigable lake in the world. On the way to Titicaca we explore the pre-Inca burial center of Sillustani, located on the banks of beautiful Lake Umayo. The saturated colors and clear air at this high-elevation site are remarkable.
Day 7 (Lake Titicaca and Taquile ) A 1.5-hour-long boat ride takes us to the island community of Llachon where we set off in sea kayaks for a paddling adventure, accompanied by a support boat. At the island of Taquile, we climb over a hundred stone stairs to the main plaza to meet villagers and learn about their communal economy. Taquileños are famous for their fine textiles, which we can peruse and purchase this afternoon before dining at a traditional restaurant on the islands summit. We return to Puno mid afternoon with time to rest and relax before dinner.
Day 8 (Lake Titicaca and Uros, and Lima for departures home) After breakfast we board a private boat to the famous Uros floating reed islands. Inheritors of an ancient culture, these lake nomads rely on the lake resources to subsist, just as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. They live a very unique life on these floating islands of totora reed. Later this morning we transfer to Juliaca for the flight back to Lima to catch connections home.

Hot weather slows fishing; deer applications available
IRON MOUNTAIN – Extreme heat has kept some anglers off the water and reports from those who made it out are somewhat mixed.
At The Sport Shop in Iron River, Don Ciochetto said trout fishing is still sluggish.
"It's been rather slow with the hot weather," Ciochetto said. "Really, most fishing has not been all that active."
John Grier at Whispering Pines Outpost in Breitung Township said he's seen less action this week as well.
"The number of people going out is down because of the heat, but guys going out seem to still be doing good." Grier said.
Grier said he has been getting good reports on northern, bass, crappie and bluegill.
Antlerless deer license applications are now available in Michigan. Hunters may apply through Aug. 15.
Young hunters, ages 9 to 16, may purchase one junior antlerless deer license over-the-counter during this period.Both Whispering Pines and The Sport Shop reported sales this week.
In the Upper Peninsula, 18,800 private-land licenses, down from 21,250 last year, will be available. The quota for public-land licenses has been cut from 5,900 to 4,500.
"An overall decrease in antlerless licenses was recommended in many deer management units (DMUs) in anticipation of increased adult deer mortality and low fawn recruitment due to the prolonged winter," said DNR deer and elk program leader Brent Rudolph.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said minimal rain in the last week has water levels continuing to drop. Most flowages and natural lakes in the Northwoods have near normal water levels for this time of year.
Fishing pressure has been up in the north. Bass continue to provide the best action, with both largemouth and smallmouth bass now well settled into their typical summer patterns.
Musky activity has stayed pretty good in the last week and most anglers have been reporting some consistent action along weed edges and amongst the less dense weed beds.
Walleye continue to be hard to find, and panfish activity has dropped.
Fishermen on the Menominee River have been catching some walleye mainly in the evenings using either a crawler harness or stick bait. Shore fishermen on the Menominee River have been catching a few walleye and sheepshead using live bait fished on bottom.
The extreme heat is causing some natural fish kills, according to the Michigan DNR. On inland lakes, the fish should be in deeper waters anywhere from 10 to 20 feet down depending on the lake.
Those fishing the warm water rivers in Michigan may find the fish a bit sluggish and not very cooperative. The rivers do not thermally stratify like the lakes so the temperature stays the same from top to bottom.
Out on the Great Lakes, walleye and other game fish are moving out deeper to find cooler water temperatures.
The Michigan DNR reported the following fishing conditions across the U.P.:
Keweenaw Bay: Those salmon fishing caught some when trolling 25 to 100 feet down in 150 to 240 feet of water between Sand Point and Carla's. They are using flies and spoons in a variety of colors. Lake trout action was good in 200 feet off Point Abby. Lake trout were caught near the South Portage Entry when trolling along the reefs. Chinook, coho and lake trout were taken between the entry and the red rocks near the park in 150 to 170 feet or along the white breakwall in 25 feet in the early morning. For Traverse Bay, those trolling and jigging did well for lake trout near Hermits Cove, the Gay Stacks and Big Louie's Point in 120 to 180 feet. Try spoons and trolling speeds between 1.9 and 2.4 mph.
Marquette: Fishing improved as surface water temperatures near shore have warmed into the low 60's and offshore in the mid 50's. Water temperatures north of Granite Island remain in the low to mid 50's. Lake trout anglers have done well catching a mixed bag of trout and salmon. Lake trout were caught along the drop offs near the Sand Hole in 160 to 220 feet. Those fishing near the white rocks caught lake trout on spoons and coho on high-lines. Shot Point was also producing a few lake trout. Some were having better luck with flies and cut bait especially with the mayfly hatch and the flying ants. Anglers are reminded to watch for tagged lake trout. Most of the tags are a fluorescent green and can be found near the dorsal fin.
Menominee: Anglers trolling near Green Island were marking some big fish but getting them to bite was the problem, maybe because of all the alewife. A few walleye were caught near the Red Arrow Park in 50 to 70 feet of water. Most were trolling crawler harnesses or rapalas. A few Chinook salmon were caught in Wisconsin water near Washington Island. Try about halfway down in 90 to 120 feet with dipsey divers, spoons and flashers. Many reported dead alewife on the surface.
Menominee River: Was producing some walleye however most of the fish caught were on the small side. Smallmouth bass, rock bass, pike and freshwater drum were also caught by those drifting crawlers and minnows.
Cedar River: Those drifting crawlers or casting crank baits caught some nice smallmouth bass and the occasional pike.
Little Bay De Noc: Low angler participation and fewer catches were reported as the dog days of summer set in. Walleye reports were spotty with only a few fish taken near Round Island when trolling stick baits at night in eight to 10 feet of water or off the mouth of the Escanaba River, Gladstone Beach and the Kipling Flats when trolling or drifting crawler harnesses in 14 to 30 feet. Several perch were caught on crawlers in eight to 23 feet near Kipling. Good smallmouth action in and around the mouth of the Ford River. Try casting spinners, crank baits or plastics near the shoreline.
Big Bay De Noc: No walleye anglers as most were after smallmouth bass near Ogontz, Nahma and Garden Bay. Try 12 to 18 feet when trolling, drifting or casting plastics, crank baits or crawlers. Perch were caught by those using crawlers in 10 to 16 feet in the Fayette Harbor. Off Fairport, anglers reported fair to good catches of large Chinook salmon. They are fishing the southern end of the "Gap" between the islands and using natural cut baits with dipsey's 30 to 65 feet down in 60 to 120 feet of water.
Au Train: Surface water temperatures have climbed to the low 60's near shore and the middle 50's out deeper. Boat anglers targeting salmon and lake trout reported fair catches. Those fishing in 60 to 100 feet near the east shoreline caught a mix of trout and salmon when using high-lines with spoons and flies.
Munising: Those heading out early did manage to catch a couple salmon and lake trout in waters less than 100 feet deep. The salmon were less than 20 inches and the lake trout were about two pounds. Those fishing the Big Reef had to work harder while fishing in deeper waters. Pier fishing was light with some still-fishing spawn for splake.
Grand Marais: Pier anglers caught whitefish in the early morning but many were small. Most are still-fishing with a single egg. Assorted insects found inside the lake trout indicates some of the fish are staying shallow to feed on the hatches. Fish have also been caught five to seven miles north in 150 to 250 feet along the shipping channel. Those running high-lines have also caught the occasional coho. Pike fishing was slow for shore anglers.
DeTour: Anglers continue to troll from the city launch out to the #3 green can, around the lighthouse and over to the #2 red can near Drummond Island. They have caught Atlantic salmon, Chinook salmon and lake trout. Early morning was best with green and white flashers and flies. For spoons, try white with orange dots, green and gold or blue and silver.

I also admit that I'm not a college football watcher, but watching that highlight piece his game is a lot like Steve. He was blocked with a single man most of the plays and he used his quickness to penetrate.
So, personally I would go NT, ILB, DB, S, LT, TE, then WR. I still think we have our big WR on this roster. I'm a huge Moye fan.
1.25 CB Eli Apple-DB-tOSU
2.58 SS Vonn Bell-DB tOSU
3.89 DT Javon Hargrave-SC State
4.123 DE-Matt Judon-Grand Valley State
6.220 RB-Tyler Erwin-San Jose State
7.229 WR Geronimo Allison-Ilinois
7.246 QB-Cody Kessler-USC
In a 3-4 D, there are three essential pieces:
Cover CB
Pass Rusher
Nose Tackle
If you can field those three pieces, every thing else is gravy...that is why the defense worked do well for so long...
Over the last two years, we've lost an NT and a Pass Rusher...really, two pass rushers since Woodley somehow became useless...
The Steelers just drafted Jarvis Jones and they apparently like Cortez Allen...
Do they like McClendon? Do they like McClendon at DE, since Hood and Keisel will most likely be on their respective ways?
If Nix is determined to be a special player, then they should draft him...with a front three consisting of McClendon, Nix and Heyward, you could force defenses to spend a lot of blockers accounting for those three...you would have Arnfelt, Williams and Fangupo backing them up on the line...
Presuming that you can sign Worilds, your front seven is looking solid, even without adding an ILB....I believe Williams will improve....
The multiple comebacks we have been victims of weren't because we couldn't control the LOS...they were because we don't have good cover CBs. The way the league continues to evolve into a wide open passing league the old "tackle the catch" is BS. We need people who can cover WRs not a fat guy to just hold the LOS.
we need fat guys to hold the LOS so the LB's can get penetration... you aren't going to win ANY games in this league with a "cover CB" and no pressure. This is why teams like Carolina are 12-4 with a ton of INT's by a shoddy secondary. Pressure is much more important than cover CB's IMO.
Exactly feltdizz. Pressure is everything and having qb's rattled and throwing inherent passes makes a secondary a lot better than they truly are. I think that is why we did so well with Hampton, James Harrison and the rest of the crew. These guys were causing troubles up front that showed up in these secondary.

Commitment Earns Bylines and Sense of Belonging for Intern
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Rachel Karas on her ongoing internship at the Washington Post.
When you manage to land an internship that makes everything else you do seem insignificant, you've gotten something right. When senior year becomes a cycle of waiting out your classes just to be able to go back to work, when you'd rather spend a late night at the office than return to campus life, when you find the balance of "student reporter" increasingly tipping toward the latter – you've found your place.
For the past year, this – a place of professional belonging – is what The Washington Post has given me. My first semester at 15th and L was an introductory course, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the prospect of working at the heralded paper. Now, this is just normal, everyday life – I'm a Washington Post reporter, part of the team, a working professional. The friends made and mentors gained will hopefully remain for years to come, and I will continue to strive to meet the standards set by the best in the industry.
My second semester as a Dean's Intern has been fantastic in its own right, building on the experiences of spring 2012. I've seen a newsroom in crisis – Hurricane Sandy, the Newtown shootings – and I've done more political work this time around: calling poll respondents to chat about same-sex marriage and the DREAM Act, reporting on the area's voting preparations in October and on Election Day at D.C. precincts and nighttime watch parties, to name a few. When Obama was re-elected, a group of us walked to the White House to witness the festivities as well. As a journalism student in D.C., I can't imagine a better night, and I wouldn't have rather experienced it with anyone else.
My greatest professional accomplishment also came in November: when Maryland approved a new casino in National Harbor, I co-wrote a story about the area's possible transformation that was published on A1. Ask my friends – I've never squealed as much as when I saw that front page.
I am thankful to have an employer that inspires me to grow, to write more and contribute to all aspects of the newsroom, but I am also thankful for the understanding of what it means to juggle 15 credit hours and the desire to spend every waking moment on the job. All too often the student end of "student reporter" creeps back in, threatening me with papers and textbooks and sleep deprivation, and I only regret that I can't devote more time to doing what I love with the paper I love.
I'm still learning, hoping this semester to be a bit faster on deadline and thorough in my questions, but I'm proud of the work I've done and grateful for the continuing opportunity. Regardless of what happens after graduation in May, there has been no more pivotal experience in my career than being Rachel S. Karas for The Washington Post. After a year and a half, I can only hope I'll have given them as much as they have given me.
