Sassy, Stand-Out Bootie for an Unbeatable Price!
"When I first put these on I was surprised by how comfortable my feet felt inside the boot. However, after I walked around for a few minutes I understood why other reviewers had wished there was more of a platform heel. You do feel like you're walking on your toes. Be warned. It is a drastic arch, but the thicker heel provides good balance and somewhat even distribution between the balls and heels of your feet.Aesthetically, I love the way these booties look! I really wanted something that stands out and is unique, and these are perfect. I was concerned about quality at such a low price, and I have not been disappointed. They are sturdy, well-made and in no way look cheap."

Awesome Bootie
"I wore this shoe to work and got TONS of compliments. These booties are SO different and look incredible. I love the color...a sort of burnt red to almost brown color. They go great with skinny jeans, which is how I wore them...and although slightly on the high side, they are still very comfortable. I wore them all day!"

A cure for miscommunication
William C. Harvey says he's "out of the cave" and ready to resume his mission: to teach Spanish to just about everyone in Orange County.
Harvey, 59, wrote the indispensable "Spanish for Gringos," published in 1999, and since then has authored more than a dozen other books on language instruction. Many of them are designed to help native English speakers in a specific profession get by with just enough Spanish to serve customers. Or in some cases, save a life.
On Feb. 21, he will begin teaching a five-week course called "Spanish for Healthcare Professionals" at UC Irvine.
The class is offered through the school's continuing-education arm, UCI Extension, and will be held Thursdays 6:30-9:30 p.m. through March 21 at Social Science Plaza A, Room 1165.
The cost is $385 and there are seats left among the 35 spots.
Who should take this class? Doctors, nurses, desk clerks, support staff – anyone who works at a hospital, HMO or clinic who would find a basic knowledge of Spanish useful to give or receive information.
"The program allows people who've never spoken Spanish before to stand before a Spanish speaker, understand the general message that's coming at them and respond intelligently," Harvey said.
The textbook used for the class will be Harvey's own book, "Spanish for Health Care Professionals," published in 2008.
His other books include "Spanish for Law Enforcement Personnel," "Spanish for Attorneys and Paralegals" and "Spanish for the Construction Trade," as well as a few books for native Spanish speakers on how to learn English.
Harvey doesn't get bogged down with perfect conjugation of verbs. The goal is to be able to connect with someone "warmly, culturally."
After his surge of prolific writing and speaking, Harvey said, "I still have that passion. I'm out of the cave now, letting the industries know I'm out there again."
To contact Harvey about teaching in your specific industry or business, call him at 714-264-5851.

President Obama praises retiring Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and condemns the prospect of automatic defense cuts in March.
President Obama combined a tribute to outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Friday with criticism of possible automatic budget cuts at the Pentagon next month.
"There is no reason -- no reason -- for that to happen," Obama said at a retirement ceremony for Panetta.
The "sequester" -- automatic budget cuts that hit both domestic and defense programs -- takes effect March 1 unless the White House and Congress agree on a debt reduction plan.
Obama wants to reduce the debt with both budget cuts and tax revenues by closing loopholes; some Republicans said the emphasis should be on spending cuts, not higher taxes.
In calling on Congress to avert the sequester, Obama said lawmakers need to summon the spirit of public service exhibited by Panetta, "solving problems, not trying to score points."
In praising Panetta for his work as defense secretary, and before that as CIA director, Obama cited the end of combat operations in Iraq and the winding down of the war in Afghanistan.
At the CIA, Panetta also helped coordinate "perhaps the greatest intelligence success in American history," Obama said, the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Panetta, the son of Italian immigrants, is a former member of Congress, and also served as budget director and White House chief of staff for President Bill Clinton.
"The grand arc of your life speaks to our larger American story," Obama said.
In his remarks, Panetta also cited Iraq, Afghanistan, the bin Laden raid, and the ongoing battle against al Qaeda terrorists.
"We have shown the world that nobody attacks the United States of America and gets away with it," Panetta said.
One topic that went unmentioned: An apparent disagreement over arming Syrian rebels.
At a Senate hearing on Thursday, Panetta said he had supported a Pentagon plan to send weapons to Syria rebels, a plan rebuffed by the White House.
White House spokesman Jay Carney declined to discuss "internal deliberations," but said Obama and his national security team "don't want any weapons to fall into the wrong hands and potentially further endanger the Syrian people, our ally, Israel, or the United States."

Panda Facts
Spoiler!Panda Fact 1:99% of a pandas diet is bamboo.
Panda Fact 2:In China they call the Panda "Xiongmao", which means Giant Cat Bear.
Panda Fact 3:Don't mess with The Panda -_-
Panda Fact 4: Giant Pandas can spend up to 16 hours a days eating.
Panda Fact 5:A panda gives birth to twins 45% of the time but in wild can only look after one baby so one usually die.
I was right... he's here.
he just wants to rule the world and kill anyone who can oppose him whats wrong with that
The meaning behind Orochimaru ambition is beyond what you're brains are capable of understanding.. So if I were you I'd leave it...
I was ok with curse seal 2 because it wasn't making a great character seem useless. A lot of other power-ups don't bother me because there getting them so fast, it bothers me because in the process it's making the "greats" seem completely useless. 3 years to master rasengan, and naruto i guess half masters it in like 10 days total. I know its easier to learn then to teach yourself but were talking 10/1095 the amount of time it took the fourth. Then there's sage mode, which im assuming is almost the same case. Rassenshuriken, this one he did heavily fast as well, that doesn't bother me so much since there's a bit of story behind how he did it so fast. Then when he's not in these training modes he seems like he's doing absolutely nothing. That's why i consider it 3 years of nothing training. In those 3 years had he trained like he did at other time's he would have been stronger than any shinobi in the whole narutoverse. It's that incosistency which annoys. Kishi has been motivated by Dragon ball. So i mean goku did do stuff faster than others but there was some good reason. Like when he completely The tower training it said turtle hermit (you know, he's kinda like Jiraiya the frog hermit) took forever, because he was trying to cheat the whole time.
I hate sasuke's powerups as well since it made naruto pale in comparison so naruto needed power-ups, and who better to follow than Jiraiya or The 4th (the idea). It's sasuke's recent power up that annoys me. Itachi spent how many years learning MS and how to properly use it, and when we saw him before 2 ms pretty much would sap his chakra dry. How many times did sasuke manage to use it with his first battle involving ms? That bugs me because Itachi seems pathetic after that.
Kishi did make a bit of amends with his recent chapter
Spoiler!Killer-bee getting away (the fight was pathetic, it ended badly)
At least now there's a guide for his future story-line again. Akatsuki can't last forever. After Akatsuki , or before Akatsuki is finished. The leaf will have another war. Against who? I think killer-bee country and mizukage country if madara is still in charge.

Black Box: Week 3
Robert Vollman
October 24 2011 10:35AM
Every Monday we'll be posting a weekly statistical update on how the Flames have fared with each of their individual players on the ice. We've included a dash of interpretive analysis, and links to more detailed explanations for what the stats mean, and how to avoid Don Cherry-ing their application. Raw stats, courtesy Behind the Net, minus Kent Wilson's scoring chances.
OZQoC Charts (explanation)
(Note - the further the right, the tougher the zone start position. The further up, the harder the quality of competition)
For some reason Coach Sutter is still matching the Iginla/Tanguay/Whoever line against top opponents, even in their own zone, and reserving the softest minutes for their fastest two-way line of Stempniak/Jokinen/Glencross. In ice cream terms, it's like Jokinen's line is getting that soft McDonald's-like stuff, and Iginla's is getting the really frozen stuff out of the box that you have to dunk the scoop in warm water just to scrape off a little bit for your pie.
Amazingly, the toughest minutes are being played by rookie Roman Horak! He has the lowest offensive zone start and the highest Quality of Competition, so prepare for some disappointing numbers this week. The other five Flame forwards facing above-average competition are (in order) David Moss, Lee Stempniak, Tim Jackman, Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay, but at least the first two often get to start in the opposing zone, and the last two make more in a month than I will in my entire life.
On defense the Jay Bouwmeester/Chris Butler pair undeniably has it the toughest, so expect the Scott Hannan/Mark Giordano pairing to post better numbers.
Even-Strength Scoring (explanation)
The numbers are going to be slightly off due to losing the scoring chance data for the Montreal Canadiens victory, but the effect should slowly disappear over time. All data is now being displayed as rates over 60 minutes, so you can see (for example) that while the Flames enjoy 65 attempted shots (aka Corsi) per 60 minutes with either of Lee Stempniak or Jay Bouwmeester on the ice, more of them get translated into scoring chances with Stempniak (19) than Jay Bo (14). Of course, that is likely a temporary consequence of the small sample sizes. Or Kent has the hots for Stempniak.

You can see the numbers starting to come closer together now – at least the Corsi events and the scoring chances, that is (goal scoring may take a while to line up). You can also see that the Flames have really been controlling the play, only a few of them are below-water possession-wise (Sarich, Hagman, Horak and "Blub blub" Babchuk). Teams that are trailing tend to have better possession numbers because the team in the lead tends to sit back and dump it in, so you can counter-intuitively expect these possession numbers to drop as the team improves.
Despite their tough assignment, Jay Bouwmeester and Chris Butler have enjoyed the greatest territorial advantage of all Flames defensemen. Unfortunately that hasn't translated into an edge in scoring chances, but it has with goals – Mark Giordano and Niklas Hagman are the only other Flames with a positive even-strength goal differential.
Up front the Stempniak/Jokinen/Glencross line have taken advantage of their McDonald's ice cream assignments by dominating even-strength play by any measuring except goals, where they're even.
Special teams (explanation)
Anton "Blub blub" Babchuk's poor even-strength play has kept the Flames top power play performer in the press box, which is quite unfortunate give how much their top players are struggling with the man advantage.
Player TOI/GP PTS/60 CE/60 Anton Babchuk 1.5 0.0 139.3 Jay Bouwmeester 1.7 5.1 106.4 David Moss 1.5 0.0 96.9 Chris Butler 1.0 8.4 84.1 Brendan Morrison 1.7 0.0 82.1 Olli Jokinen 3.2 2.7 80.4 Niklas Hagman 1.6 6.4 77.3 Jarome Iginla 3.6 4.8 68.9 Lee Stempniak 2.1 0.0 68.5 Rene Bourque 3.2 2.7 61.0 Alex Tanguay 4.4 5.9 60.8 Mark Giordano 4.1 4.2 58.6 Roman Horak 0.5 0.0 46.4
Sutter's top choices Alex Tanguay, Mark Giordano, Jarome Iginla and Rene Bourque are all failing to control the play and generate shots with the man advantage – only Olli Jokinen appears to be enjoying much success at all. Though their better numbers might be more a consequence of playing secondary penalty killers, the Flames might want to experiment with Jay Bouwmeester, David Moss and Brendan Morrison if things don't improve.
They seem to have it right when killing penalties, however – the top units are definitely pulling their weight.
Player TOI/GP CE/60 Jay Bouwmeester 3.3 98.2 Chris Butler 2.8 91.9 Scott Hannan 2.7 107.6 Mark Giordano 2.5 91.4 Curtis Glencross 2.2 72.7 Rene Bourque 2.0 88.3 Lee Stempniak 1.9 106.5 David Moss 1.8 110.4 Tom Kostopoulos 1.6 138.9 Brendan Morrison 1.3 45.6 Roman Horak 1.2 99.4 Cory Sarich 0.7 180.6 Matt Stajan 0.7 159.2
I figured a cap team like the Flames always need to have someone to help carry the bags, drive the bus and clean the dressing room, which is why they always seem to have players with names like Higgins. This year they were even more obvious by getting a guy whose name is actually Butler. However, Chris Butler has been a pleasant surprise killing penalties along side Jay Bouwmeester, which takes some of the pressure off Mark Giordano and Scott Hannan.
Up front Rene Bourque and Curtis Glencross are still their top penalty killers, though it will be interesting to see how Brendan Morrison and Roman Horak fare as they take more opportunities away from David Moss and Lee Stempniak (to Kent's potential chagrin).
Goaltending (explanation)
If Calgary is to make the play-offs then they need strong goaltending – they aren't one of those teams that can get by with below-average netminding. So far Kipper and the Calgary Tower (should he really be named after something that doesn't move?) have put up just 2 Quality Starts out of 7, which could really hurt the club should it continue.
Goalie GS QS QS% ESSV% Miikka Kiprusoff 5 2 40.0% .913 Henrik Karlsson 2 0 0.0% .897
In fairness, Henrik Karlsson was literally a couple of seconds away from a Quality Start, and Kipper's had two near misses as well, so it would only take a very slight improvement to go from 2-for-7 to 5-for-7.
And that's how it looks after two weeks. A slow start in the standings, but definite cause for hope as their luck improves, especially with some improvements in nets and with the man advantage.
October 24 2011, 10:46AM
Moss is apparently back on the Jokinen line in practice this morning. Let's hope this moves the needle a bit in terms of the out of balance ZS and match-ups. Iginla just can't handle that assignment.
October 24 2011, 11:00AM
Well - Butter's finally remembered to put the Joker Moss Glenx line back together - and after maybe 1 or 2 more losses, maybe he'll remember to give Iggy and his crew the soft matchups, and that his OMG line did the heavy lifting against better comp. Then all we need is for Bork to come back from vacation and we're off to the races.
I still think we need to use those QoC numbers with a heaping grain of salt. Montreal's top corsi forwards are Aaron Palushaj and Mathieu Darche. NYR's is Artem Anisimov. Edmonton has Darcy Hordichuk in the top three. I don't know what Nashville's top line is but they have Stortini and MacGrattan in the 4th and 5th slots. Malkin is way down in Pittsburgh's forward ranks.
There is just no way with only the seven games worth of data that the QoC number is giving us a reliable measure of who is being matched up against top lines.
(Don't take my grousing as either thinking that a) QoC doesn't matter because I think that QoC is the second biggest non-random factor in determining success (the first being the observed player's talent) and b) it is measurable somehow and aside from assigning a cardinal rank to the line being matched against the observed players (1st line, 2nd line etc.) for every shift I don't have a better way to measure and record it.)
@ Tach
I agree with you, but at the same time, it's fairly obvious Sutter is not going out of his way to give Iginla high ground and he should be.
October 24 2011, 11:36AM
For sure. The QofC numbers are a bit...self-referential at this point because the sample is so small. Perhaps one night of playing Horak means a high corsi rating for opponent "x" for example.
Well, not going out of his way maybe, but define the high ground. If it is zone starts, it hasn't shown up yet (although note my caveat below). But maybe his is line matching to get away from forward lines and defensive pairings to try and get easier matchups. The other coach notices, so has been putting those guys out there for more O-Zone draws (Flames D-Zone draws) leading to fewer O-Zone starts. I haven't combed through every shift chart and game log to verify what the real story is. Last week Kent postulated that Sutter was trying to give offensive starts to lines with the Hot Hand. I would also concede that it is all totally random - zone starts play no role in the matching for the Flames whatsoever.
I must note there is a distinct shifting from last week though. Iggie's ZS% was 32% and now it is up to 47%. By my math, that makes his zone start over the week 68% (21 OZ, 10DZ). How much higher do you want the ground to be?
It's really interesting to look past some of this data to see any clues of the behind doors mind set of Sutter & Feaster. Horak just astounds me. When you think we need that quick good start, then see Brent has got a raw kid taking on the toughest starts & competition. Does that not seem odd, I know they want to see what Horak can do & are very pleased with his play, but wow, what a Russian Roullette thing to do. That & the commitment to get getting Karlsson more starts sounds like a different agenda than wanting to get a quick start. JMO.
Another note, I see lots of Columbus/NYR rumours on that (cough cough) Eckland site. When I was at the Ranger game, I noticed the main line of Gabby, Richards & Stepan & I saw a lot of good things out of that huge Boyle kid. That might make Dubinski tradeable, would a Bourque for Dubinski deal make sense? Duby might slot nicely on that Iggy/Tangs line.
Just to put that number for Iginla's ZS% for the week into context, Glencross-Jokinen-Stempniak were 58%-61%-60% respectively. Iginla-Moss-Tanguay were 68%-74%-70%. Bourque-Morrison-Hagman were 66%-67%-63%. Iginla's line got the highest ground out of the legitimate forward units.
More interesting? Bouwmeester-Butler were 45%-43%. Giordano-Hannan were 77%-76%. Maybe someone should ask Butler again how that 28 might fit now.
October 24 2011, 12:51PM
Yeah, it should be noted we're talking very small sample here still. The QoC is probably not truly indicative and one game can really swing things for just about any measure. The true value here is to view the first few weeks as a starting point and then take note of how it shapes up over the long haul.
For instance, the NSH probably really skewed things as far as ZS and QoC. The Flames were chasing almost the entire contest and they were playing the very worst possession/outshooting club in the league so far this season. That's probably why The first line's ZS% jumped up so drastically.
October 24 2011, 12:56PM
To say that Jokinen's line is getting the soft minutes is just false. Hard matched against Edmonton's top line, hard matched against Richards and against Nashville, well, there's not much to match up against.
Advanced analytics are great and I love them, but in this case, they aren't telling the whole story.
If Tom Awad has identified three main goaltending factors that contribute to a Goal Against:
1.Skill, 2. Shot Quality and 3. Luck (which I can agree with, although would like to see team teased out so that we can compare Boston to the Senators)
and he has the "influence" 5v5 as: 58% luck, 37% skill and 5.5% shot quality
and "4v5"influence: 70% luck, 10% skill and 20% shot quality
(numbers which I think are close, but too "luck" heavy and not enough "shot quality" heavy, but that's likely semantics). Again, there is no "Team" aspect in these, although I think they're likely buried in the "Luck/ShQ" equations.
Then how can we make this conclusion from an analysis as coarse as Quality Starts (especially when not comparing against the Quality of Team in front?
"So far Kipper and the Calgary Tower have put up just 2 Quality Starts out of 7, which could really hurt the club should it continue."
Especially when contrasted with this: "In fairness, Henrik Karlsson was literally a couple of seconds (kid, you were pretty good for 64min, 50secs, too bad about that 10 seconds) away from a Quality Start, and Kipper's had two near misses as well, so it would only take a very slight improvement [in LUCK my words] to go from 2-for-7 to 5-for-7."
It seems to me that the more we dig in this drill hole with this tool the less we see. I know I'm beating this horse to death...but the conclusions are misleading.
At 29% QS out of 7 games. The Flames problems are goaltending. I don't think anyone who's watched these games would say that it's not the team and "luck" that haven't mostly contributed to that.
So then what are we tracking? (Small sample understood, but this isn't a cumulative measure through games.... it's fairly binary)
You know what's "bad luck" for a goalie?, being stuck on teams like Columbus, Ottawa and Calgary and what's "good luck"?.. being on the Boston's, Detroit's and Vancouver's
I didn't realize the data was cummulative, makes for more sense then, my mistake.
EDIT: Come to think of it we are comparing a all home game week to two prior mostly road games ones. Given the cummulative nature of these stats I'll be interesting to see how it pans out come December or so.
@Kevin R
No such thing happened to Horak. His ZS% numbers are mostly a holdover from games where the Flames got spanked with tons of offensive zone draws. He was only 50% ZS in the last week, but that was only 4 of his 53 total shift starts, all coming from the Nashville game. In the first 4 games of the season up to the end of week 2, the Flames team ZS% was 43%. Horak's ZS% was almost exactly in line with that.
His QoC is a total aberration due to third/fourth liners on other teams having jacked up Corsi rates. Look at the TOR numbers. Their first line has mostly been Kessel-Lupul-Bozak. Their CorsiRel's are -3.1, -12.3, -27.4(!). Those CorsiRel's are then plugged into the QoC to say these guys are crap as compared with Frattin (+12.8), Brown (+8.6) or Steckel (+7.6). But who got the harder minutes, the players out against Kessel, or those out against Frattin?
Thinking more about this problem (third/fourth liners with high rates making for whack QoC numbers) - it would seem to me that most of the cause is the rate normalization process. The raw Corsi counts for these types of players would be decidedly lower than for the top line players on those teams. But when you normalize for TOI to come up with a rate, it compresses the range of actual possession that a player is generating. So one or two strong shifts by the third-fourth line guys ratchets up their corsi rates. Could a QoC stat be derived that used raw events instead of rates to minimize this factor?

Hat-tip toe Robert Cleave for pointing this out to me.
So by this chart, Stempniak is getting a pretty easy ride?
@Kent Wilson
I figured he would dominate if his injury didn't hold him back. It is still early in the season but I wish him the best.
October 24 2011, 03:41PM
He has started in the offensive zone a lot.
@Kent Wilson
Oh, I am not too worred about that, we have first line centre Brendan Morris....crap, I can't even write that tripe. How good would have looked taking all those D-Zone starts with Iggy and Tangs. Le sigh.
Good on Lanks though. Bad luck preventing it adding up in the points category but look at those GF/60 and GA/60 numbers. My god, his PDO must be like .800.
October 24 2011, 05:53PM
.907. Worst on the team right now.
Crap. I'm happy for Langkow, but watched him score against the Jets (setup by Doan) with a pit in my stomach. Always loved him as a player, and even in his 3-game return last year felt so good about having him back. It'll take a 'whole lotta great' from Mr. Backlund (not to mention some solid contribution from Stempniak) to make that move stop hurting.
To say that Jokinen's line is getting the soft minutes is just false. Hard matched against Edmonton's top line, hard matched against Richards and against Nashville, well, there's not much to match up against.
Advanced analytics are great and I love them, but in this case, they aren't telling the whole story.
In terms of oppo sure... that would be the vertical axis where Joker is pretty comparable with Iggy & Tangs. But the gulf between the two on the horizontal access is way more pronounced. That would seem to indicate that while Joker is facing tough competition Butter is giving him more of the better half of the ice.
That ought to be reversed. Optimally I think you`d want to see Iggy, Tangs and whomever gets put between them occupying the spot that Joker, GlenX, and Stempniak have now.

By DANIEL R. CASTRO
Hurricane Katrina is a reminder that you never know when or where tragedy is going to strike. As the fourth anniversary of 9/11 passes, we are also reminded that we do not choose tragedy-it chooses us-randomly and suddenly. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of hurricane Katrina. You may be trying to weather the storms in your own personal life right now, whether it is the loss of a job, a divorce, the loss of a loved one, or a terminal illness.
When tragedy strikes, our first reaction is shock. We may have had some forewarning, but it's never enough. We never have enough time, money, friends or resources to prevent a tragedy of such enormous proportions as hurricane Katrina. Some people run for higher ground. Some people lash themselves to the most solid thing they can find. Some people find a hole in the ground and hold on for dear life.
Your first reaction to the tragedy could mean life or death for you or someone you love. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to follow these four steps for surviving any tragedy.
Choose to Believe
It is essential that you stop and get your bearings. Assess where you are and what resources you have around you. Stop and assess the approaching storm for what it is. Acknowledge it, but don't blow it out of proportion. Yes, cancer and hurricanes are still terminal, but plenty of people survive them.
Just a few days after Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer, he held a press conference in which he boldly announced, "I want you all to know that I intend to beat this disease, and further I intend to ride again as a professional cyclist." That was back in 1996, when most people were predicting his early demise.
Was he a prophet? Did he receive a message in a dream? Did he know something that we don't know? No. None of the above.
Lance Armstrong made an internal decision to believe and to survive. Then he announced it publicly. This public verbalization of his belief seared it into his brain and his very soul. It came to pass because he really believed it and this undying belief helped him bring it to pass.
You can do the same thing. Acknowledge your opponent for what it is and then calmly, but firmly announce to the world that you will beat this thing.
Double Check the Facts
When an acorn fell on her head, "Henny Penny" thought the sky was falling. This belief became a self-fulfilling prophecy which led to tragic results for her and her friends. This story is a reminder that we need to double check the facts to make sure our perception is consistent with reality.
Remember, the biggest obstacle that is standing in your way is not the obstacle, it is what you believe about the obstacle. But our beliefs are not always consistent with reality. The bedouin tribes who live in the desert have a story they tell their children which can teach us great wisdom.
It goes like this. A man sees a cloud of dust approaching on the sand dunes in the horizon. He says to himself, "It is a great beast coming to eat me and my family." He runs inside to get his gun. Now he can see that it is a man in black riding a black horse racing straight toward him. He says to himself, "No, it is my enemy coming to steal my well!" He raises his rifle and takes steady aim, waiting for the man to get in range. As he sees the man approaching through the sites of his rifle, he realizes "No, it is my brother!"
What you believe about the obstacle has more of an impact on how you deal with the situation than the obstacle itself.
How do you check your perceptions against reality? Follow these steps:
1. First, realize that you have the option, and maybe even the responsibility to stop and confirm whether or not things are really as you perceive them to be.
2. Double check the evidence around you to see if you've missed anything.
3. Quickly assess all the evidence in the time that you have.
4. Know what questions must be answered before you decide.
5. If it is impossible to obtain all of the information you need in the amount of time you have, analyze the information that you do have, make educated guesses about the missing information, and follow your training and gut instinct.
Go to Those Who Are Already Outside the Box
In an emergency, you don't have time to brain-storm with a focus group to come up with thousands of creative ideas and on how to deal with the situation. You must think and act quickly and decisively. You don't have time to get yourself out of "the box." The quickest way to adjust your thinking is to go to those who are already outside the box, and perhaps don't even know the box exists. Who are these people?
In 1938, on the eve of the Nazi Holocaust, a family of Jews in Sighet Hungary were huddled around their kitchen table trying to figure out what was about to happen to them. By order of military command, all stores and offices belonging to Jews were closed. No Jew was allowed to go out, except in the late afternoon to buy food. Jews no longer had the right to sell anything. Whoever opposed these decrees would be shot.
The German army began raiding Jewish homes, taking jewelry, silver, foreign currency, and precious stones-anything of value. The Jewish sector of the city became a sealed off ghetto where no one could come or go without permission.
But the Weisel family had a Christian housekeeper named Maria who had a cabin up in the mountains. She would sneak in cheese, eggs, fruit, and vegetables to the Weisels. She offered to sneak them out of the ghetto and begged them to escape with her to the cabin where they would be safe. But the Jewish intellectuals, dignitaries, and clergy had always taught that the Jewish community should always stick together-no matter what. The Weisel family declined.
The next day the trucks came. The entire Jewish community was hauled off to the death camps and Elie Weisel was the only survivor of his family.
If you go exclusively to those who share your belief system and think like you do, you will not learn anything new. Conventional wisdom must be tossed out the window when tragedy strikes. But sometimes the only way to "think outside the box" is to listen to those who are already outside the box.
In this case it was a Christian housekeeper living in a Jewish community. When tragedy strikes, don't ignore those quiet whispers from unconventional sources.
Focus a Purpose Bigger Than Yourself
When tragedy strikes, our instincts kick in and our first thoughts and actions are for self-preservation. But, there are a few rare souls out there, who override these instincts by making a conscious, deliberate choice to focus on a purpose bigger than themselves. We call them heroes.
Last year, in the little town of Beslan, Russia, a group of masked men stormed a school and took the whole school hostage. A 17 year old girl named Karina Begayeva had a chance to escape with other children who hid in the boiler room. But she turned back and ran into the school gymnasium where most of the kids were being held.
Why would she do this? She saw what others could not see. Her brother was in there. She knew that her brother could not walk because of his withered leg.
Over the next three days, the terrorists made all of the children strip down to their underwear and refused to give them food or water. When the children cried, they shot rifles into the air and threatened to kill them if they did not stop crying. They forced them to drink their own urine. After three days without food or water, the children began to grow weak and sick.
Outside the building, 10,000 Russian troops kept watch, waiting for an opportunity to strike or to negotiate a peaceful solution. But then the sounds of an explosion and gunfire filled the air. Naked school children ran from the school being shot at by the terrorists as they fled. Russian special-forces stormed the building. Relatives screamed in helpless horror.
When the first bomb blast happened, a piece of schrapnel tore through Karina's left foot. Half blinded by the blast and choking on the dense smoke, she could barely stand.
But she knew she only had a few seconds to get herself and her brother to safety. She somehow managed to reach for her brother's arm and half-carry, half-drag him along in the midst of the chaos as a firefight between the terrorists and the Russian special-forces erupted all around them. She managed to scramble out through a broken window where Russian police ran up and whisked them away.
Survivors and heroes see things the rest of us don't see. They see a purpose bigger than themselves. There were many heroes on 9/11 when two airplanes struck the World Trade Center. There will no doubt be many heroes who come to the aid of the hurricane victims.
When Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer, one of the first things he did was start the Lance Armstrong Foundation to raise money for cancer research. When we focus on a purpose bigger than ourselves, somehow our own suffer seems less tragic.
When we help other people weather their strorms, something unexplainable happens in the cosmos. Electricity starts to flow, we feel more energized, brain cells get more creative, people unite, hearts swell-and sometimes, just every now and then, miracles happen.

(December 22) Today we're celebrating . . . Capricorn
The tenth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Capricornus.
In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Capricorn is considered a "feminine", negative (introvert) sign. It is also considered an earth sign and one of the four cardinal signs. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Being the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn has been associated with the astrological tenth house.
Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Capricorn individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun enters Capricorn by definition at the moment of winter solstice, or roughly at December 22, and leaves it around January 19. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from January 15 to February 15. The Sanskrit name of Capricorn in Hindu astrology is Makara.

Comments about Dogz Utility Reflective Lead - Black:
I bought two of these leashes, one in blue one in black, for my Pit Bull and Lab mix. They are the perfect length. not too long but DEFINITELY not too short which is why I decided to get them in the first place. They are also very soft and wide enough so they don't cut into your hands when your dog tugs. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs at least three times a day. So far after a good month or two of use,they are still like new! The only Con is the reflective part is only some stitching on one side of the leash. But I don't take my dogs running on busy roads or highways so I don't mind. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.

Comments about Dogz Utility Reflective Lead - Orange:
This is the second Dogz leash I've owned, having lost the last one over the holidays. The build quality is good, but my issue is that the reflective weaving is only on one side. That is a knucklehead move, but it's easily remedied. The leash is a bit long for my taste, so I tied 4 knots toward the end to shorten it. This also makes the reflective threading visible no matter what position the leash is in.

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. was in Castle Valley to sign bills into law this week and along with this duty he also remembered the miners from Crandall Canyon. Gov. Huntsman gave Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon a check and a letter from his father, Jon Huntsman Sr. The letter said,
"My heart has been literally broken since the Crandall Canyon mine disaster-and our family has thought so many times about the nine lost miners and their sweet families. These are such tragic events that have no reason whatsoever for occurring. I work closely with many cancer patients through the Huntsman Cancer Institute and every day see many people suffering needlessly because of a tragic event that happened in their life through no fault of their own. Such was the case with our beloved miners.
"It is a great honor to send you a check for $100,000 to help build a lasting memorial in the names of these nine stalwart men who valiantly gave their lives. It is a privilege for our family to participate in such a worthwhile and meaningful cause.
"Our oldest son, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has commented repeatedly on the affection he feels toward the people in your area, and particularly the families affected by this tragedy. I know you have sensed in him his heartfelt sympathy and great sense of loss. Please express to each family member the great love of the Huntsman family toward them. I look forward to hopefully being present when this beautiful memorial is dedicated.
"With affection and best wishes always,
Most sincerely,
Jon Huntsman Sr."
Mayor Gordon was pleased to accept this donation and said Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. had also donated $25,000 previously to help the monument move along. The monument will be on Huntington City land near the Huntington Cemetery. Karen Templeton is the artist for the project and is making casts of each of the nine miners likenesses to be placed on the monument. Her work is moving along for this project. The estimated date everyone is looking toward for completion will be the Aug. 6 first anniversary of the mine tragedy.
There is also another monument being planned at the Crandall Canyon mine site. Murray Energy is taking care of the costs for this monument in Huntington Canyon.

Posted on 12/18/2007 9:04:57 AM PST by moonman
While playing in the street, two boys heard a noise coming from a dumpster. They pulled out a bag which had a newborn baby girl inside. The baby is in stable condition at a local hospital.
Mama, it's cold in here!
This was in the Queens neighborhood of New York City
You may not agree, but God can make all things happen for the good.
God Bless those boys and the baby.
Merry Christmas!
Mama, don't hurt me!
Mama, I don't understand.
This is what happens after several generations of teaching our kids they have no value. That they are a freak accident of lightning hitting a pool of goo.
If evolution is true, then you and I have no intrinsic value.
Oh,please! This was just a young girl making the most personal of decisions.How could she *possibly* go to school so she could turn her life around and take care of a child at the same time? Adoption would have been so cruel.....a dumpster was the only fair answer.
Away In A Manger 2007
Execute the parents.
God bless this child. I hope she never finds out what her mother did to her and pray that she finds a loving family to raise her.
lol. Are you serious?
The country is worth defending, but some people in it aren't...
Hate to say it, but another Democrat stronghold.
Florida has a law that permits parent(s) of unwanted newborns simply drop them off at a fire station, no questions asked, no ID required, just hand them over. Even with this law newborns, dead and alive, are found all the time in dumpsters or just left on the ground.
It believe that each of us will stand before the Creator one day and be required to give an account of how we lived our life and what we did with what was given us by the Creator. God's word makes it very clear that to those whom much is given much will be expected.
I do my best to live my life in such a way as to make that day go as smoothly as possible, but I don't mind saying I am scared to death of that day!
Christopher Moncada and his friends makes me believe otherwise. God bless these boys.
You've got it right... and I believe, knowing what I know about liberalism, that some of the roots of teaching evolution as fact is, indeed, to devalue human life and de-moralize the abortion issue. After all, if we are indeed made in the image of God, and he "knew you before He formed you in the womb", then abortion would be universally viewed abhorrent instead of as a choice equivalent of having burgers or chicken for lunch.
Liberalism is about the absence of consequences for behavior. Start there, and most of their mindset starts to make sense.
Exactly....Those boys who did the right thing are worth fighting for.....
Keep on Rockin in the Free World!
And why are you so vain as to feel you do have "intrinsic" value?
Sometimes, I don't think humanity is worth defending from it's own destruction....
Thanks for the link
This is not a new phenomena...just more widely reported.
You truly do not think that this sort of thing didn't happen long long before today do you?
This is a despicable act, but is hardly this something unprecidented in human history.
I don't even know where to begin...
The Bible says 'man was created in God's image'. You cannot denigrate one without denigrating the other.
No problem. Most dumpster-divers are vegan anyway.
In Roman times it was common for unwanted babies to be left in the woods for animals to eat.
No, I didn't think this never happened before today. Unfortunately, it is becoming all too common. That is the reason why I think I'm ready to spend the rest of my life watching old Warner Brother's cartoons and practice Mel Blanc voices.
"This is what happens after several generations of teaching our kids they have no value."
I had to stop to get gas at a very unsavory part of the city last night. As I went in to pay there was a small child running around seemingly lost. I stepped to the end of the line again to keep my eye on this lost child cell phone in hand.
After about 5 more minutes his mother came out the bathroom. She didn't even look for this baby, just yelled "come on boy!" Never kept her eye on him while she paid for her things. The child could have been snatched in a heartbeat. The child was more of an inconvenience I guess.
Agreed. And I also believe that the single most important reason the evolution theory is pushed as fact is because it devalues, in fact it attempts to completely erase religion.
What an inane statement.
This country has always had good and bad people across the spectrum, to the very best, to the very worst. It's worth defending for those who are doing the good and trying to get the bad to come around, one way or the other.
Denver? Dallas?
FR's resident Darwinists vehemently deny this. But, like the left, when you're attempting to destroy a foundational aspect of our society, you first must understand that a full frontal assault will not work, and work from cover/stealth.
> WTF ... I am seriously starting to believe this country is no longer worth defending!
Our country is the home of the brave and the land of the free is worth defending, but we need to clean out the socialists and liberals who are destroying it from within. We also have to button up the borders and purge the nation of illegals.
Those two boys live within our country and they are the reason we shall continue to defend it.
I feel for the child and and am disgusted by the mother. But it's a fact that children have been abandoned for centuries for various reasons. It's nothing new.
One scared and frightened teenager does something stupid and you condemn the whole country. Quite a leap.
This is the result of a culture where the lives of Children are a choice. And where now even Men are considered disposable. Michael Vick got three times the sentence that Mary Winkler did for killing or executing her Husband.
Mary shot her Preacher Husband in the back. Pulled the phone cord out of the wall so he could not summon help. And she let him bleed to death. Why not leave a Baby to die? After all its a Woman's Right to Choose.
Left to their own judgment, the children know what is the right thing to do in this and many other cases. It is the sophistry of adults that leads them and us astray.
I believe Samwise Gamgee said it best in LOTR TT.
"There's still some good left in this world, and its worth fighting for."
Don't let the actions of the few cloud your judgement of the many.
"Christopher Moncada and his friends makes me believe otherwise. God bless these boys."
What do you want to bet that the Department of Child Services will give the mother another chance?
I agree - WTF. I have an 8 year old. I remembered when he was a newborn. I know some state has passed laws like Indiana where you can leave a newborn at a hospital, no questions asked if you are unable to take care of it. Back around 2000, there was a baby left in the cold by a hospital. When it was found, it was already dead. I was so sick when I read about it.

Skip to comments.Poll: Obama edges ahead of McCain in Montana
Posted on 10/23/2008 12:46:39 PM PDT by Alter Kaker
A new poll shows that Democrat Barack Obama could be edging ahead of Republican John McCain in Montana.
Obama is at 44 percent and John McCain is at 40 percent in the Montana State University-Billings poll released Thursday. The poll reverses others from earlier in the fall that showed McCain with a lead in the state.
The poll of 403 Montanans was conducted from Thursday though Monday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Both Obama and McCain did a pretty good job in the poll of holding their party's base, but Obama held an advantage among self-described independents.
By a large margin, respondents said they thought McCain had run a more negative campaign.
Predictably, McCain got better marks on the foreign relations issue while Obama scored better on the economy.
That is absurd. Are they only polling homeless shelters?
Gee, a whopping 403 people?
I guess we're toast
All them cowboys in Montana carry. If they think they are going to loose that right.....they'll go for McCain.
..somebody posted a news story from 1972 which said McGovern was closing in on Nixon ROFL—I think this is in the same genre of story...
The polled 403 people? There were more people in my high school graduating class.
About as unlikely as a female bull....
McCain will win.
How did Janet Reno get involved in this thread?
The issue with Montana if it is close is that it has a large libertarian block of voters which could sway the election. It affected the Senate seat last election and the Republican lost.
Obama edges ahead of McCain among White Supremacists
I'm beginning to think you're right. Why else would the commie-bommies be releasing these polls that are so blantantly wrong?
Having spent some time in Montana. I know that a majority of it's residents are definately conservative.
What you hear almost everyday, is their anger at the college towns especially in MSU Billings and University of Montana in Missoula. The students are a large enough block of voters, to tip the political scale of a state with a population of around one million.
A North Dakota TV station's poll will sit really well in Montana. North Dakota is the butt of jokes in Montana.
Thye must have polled the only 403 Montanans in the State who don't own a firearm!!
If this year's presidential election were being held today, for whom do you think you would vote?
Barack Obama 44.4%
John McCain 40.2%
Ron Paul 4.2%
Bob Barr 1%
Ralph Nader .7%
Undecided 9.5%
Margin of Error is 4.81%.
So, that could mean that McCain is actually up by .81%.
I have a friend in Montana, near Billings- who says the state is McCain/Palin country.
Those country boys like their guns and hunting too much to ever vote for Obama.
Stupid students from out of state could be the source of this poll, tho.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
There is a Dem senator up for reelection next month. Max Baucus, Dem incumbent is running against Kelleher. Could this be a Republican pick up?
McCain at 40% in the ultra-conservative state of Montana?
Yeah, right!!!
The next incredulous poll to come out: empty suit is leading in Alabama and Mississippi./Just Asking - seoul62......
Must be all those dental floss tycoons.
There is no other way to explain it. If they had just had a couple states showing a swing or a couple points up on the National poll I may have believed it. Now I have no doubt that Hussein is in trouble, these polls are used to prop him up. Only the liberal sheep will believe this nonsense.
What kind of place do you think Montana is? 90% cowboys, 9% boot sellers and 1% bankers?
Montana is the home of egregious organizations like the Greater Yellowstone Coalition (goal: returns the planes to their natural state by removing all traces of mankind...) and many, many more.
The urban centers all have 4 year colleges and all (except Butte) are trending liberal....
We have two bad liberal senators Max Bacchus and Testor. Bacchus is up for reelection this year and the republican running against him is 79 years old and a fool!
Max is running lots of ads about his accomplishments and Obama is flooding the media with lies about McCain.
I have yet to hear or see an single McCain ad.
I fully EXPECT Montana to go for Obama (he spent 4th of July in Butte).
The only good sign in this whole mess is in my neighborhood there are only 2 Obama signs and many, many McCain signs - 4 and 8 years ago there were lot's of Democrat signs and very few Bush signs...I have little hope, though...
What? They asked everyone in the state their opinion twice. /s
Swain_forkbeard, honey, what's got into ya?
No chance in Hell. Never gonna happen. Kelleher is 79 years old and a fool, he won the primary from Democrats crossing over to vote him onto the ticket instead one of the good Republicans.
Max is horrible for our state and we just cannot get rid of him.
If it were 90% cowboys, the GOP wouldn't stand a chance in Montana.
OMG, Obama showed up in Montana! And on the 4th of July!!!OMG! What to do, what to do....LOL, McCain is +8 in Montana.
You have nothing to back up your expectations.
Obama is about to take Idaho also :)
"You have nothing to back up your expectations."
Where do YOU live? Obviously, not in Montana.
If you believe this garbage, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Total BS, that's WTF.
Even if it is true, it won't be once the photos of teh 20 year old McCain campaign worker who had a B carved into her face by a Fauxbama supporter get distributed.
Fauxbama just went from a possible close lose, to a massive lose. Those undecideds are going to break so far for McCain after this, it won't even be funny.
Hey Leo,
You got ONE poll. Don't drink the Kool-aid. McCain is ahead +8.
But that doesn't translate into an Obama win in the polls, that's Obama-12%, McCain-8%, and 80% "undecided".
I'll gladly take all comers on Obama to win in Montana. Place your bets.
If some knucklehead outfit in Texas comes out with a poll showing that Obama has pulled ahead here, does that mean that Sarah Palin will come to Dallas and drop a puck at a Stars game?
Again I ask you, WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
Time to move downt Wyoming you folks in Montana. It is getting full of Ted Turner types.
No internals posted. Imagine that. Could be 100% Dem.
Gutless. And unfortunately, this poll will be reported on breathlessly by the news media as "proof positive" that "McCain is screwed".
Doesn't this add-up to 84%? And this is relevant? 4% different (not counting the margin of error), with 16% undecided?
California Leo, and I don't give a damn where you live in Montana, the Muslim will not win the state. McCain is +8 in Montana Leo.
Don't fret "Conservative FReeper" your state is safe.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's highest court on Wednesday rejected a new trial for a man convicted of raping and impregnating a 15-year-old member of his church, a case that gained national attention because the church's pastor made the teen apologize to the congregation.
Ernest Willis was convicted in May 2011 of raping the girl in 1997. His lawyer argued that statements he made to the pastor of the fundamentalist Trinity Baptist Church should not have been used against him. But prosecutors countered that Willis' statements were not protected by religious privilege because they involved the sexual abuse of a child.
Willis' lawyer, chief appellate public defender Christopher Johnson, said he had no comment on the unanimous ruling by the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
Jurors at Willis' trial heard testimony by former Trinity Baptist Church pastor Charles Phelps that Willis told him that he was "the aggressor" and that there were two instances of sexual assault — one during driving lessons he was giving the girl, Tina Anderson — and again at her apartment a month later. The Associated Press does not typically identify victims of sexual assault, but Anderson wanted her name publicized to highlight church abuse and has discussed her case on nationally televised shows.
The justices noted that all 50 states have laws protecting the confidence of clergy-parishioner communications, but New Hampshire is one of six states that revokes that privilege in its child abuse reporting statutes.
"Whether the communication is a 'confidence' within the meaning of the religious privilege depends upon the objectively reasonable expectations of the communicate, under the totality of the circumstances," Justice Carol Ann Conboy wrote.
At trial, Willis maintained the sexual intercourse was consensual and that it happened only once. Before trial, he pleaded guilty to statutory rape, based on the girl's age. He is serving 15 to 30 years in prison.
Phelps moved Anderson to Colorado to have the baby and put the infant up for adoption, in addition to making her apologize to the New Hampshire congregation. The pastor reported the sexual assaults to police and to the Division of Children, Youth and Families, as required by state law.
Concord police say they were forced to shelve the case when they couldn't locate the girl to interview her. They finally learned her married name from websites critical of the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement and reached her in Arizona, where she now lives.
Phelps is now senior pastor at Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis.
The court on Wednesday also rejected Willis' claims that jurors should not have heard portions of a police interview with him in May 2010, in which a detective stated that Anderson had no reason to lie in her version of events. The court ruled there is a difference between a police officer giving an opinion while testifying at trial and offering an opinion during an interrogation.
It ruled that it was a mistake for the trial court to permit jurors to hear that portion of the police interview, which referenced an anonymous report to child welfare officials about the sexual assaults, but said the judge's instruction to the jury to not accept the statements as true rendered the error harmless.

The best thing about these animations is that they enable one to get a better feel of the Scale and scope of this war. It really begins to feel more like a war.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
ok, the animation on this one was pretty awesome. and it definitely got me pumped for this war, its a shame we have to wait through more fillers, but i get it i guess. i really hope they go into more detail on some of these up coming battles.
I dont think its going to be pure fillers though, the part of sasuke not looking at him but rather through him is canon is it not?

"I can see that you've got quite a mind for you age,
why, one Think and you dragged me right onto the stage,
now, I'm here, there is no telling what may ensue,
with a cat such as me, and a Thinker like you."
So says the mischievous Cat in the Hat (Jonathan Fauver) at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Lynn Abrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant (Jacob Barnett), Gertrude McFuzz (Trisha Erickson), Lazy Mayzie (McKette Allred), Sour Kangaroo (Tanie Worthen), General Schmitz (Con Anderson), and all of the Whos of Whoville.
These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo (Jordan Sitterud), a young boy and "thinker of strange and wonderful thinks." As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss's subtle themes are, making this musical one that appeals to all ages.
The musical is ably directed by Ann Murdoch and Gina Sitterud, and will be presented at the Emery High School auditorium Feb. 9-11 and 13 at 7 p.m. There will also be a Saturday matinee on Feb. 11 at 1 p.m. Children of all ages will enjoy this special addition to the regular performances. All tickets are $5.
The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel and R&B to funk. So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and your imagination run wild, for:
"If you open your mind.
oh the Thinks you will find
lining up to get loose,
oh, the Thinks you can think,
when you think about Seuss."

Anglers visiting Duck Fork Reservoir recently have noted two major changes. First, the reservoir is in the process of draining. It is about half drained and should reach its dead storage volume of about 80-acre feet within another two to four weeks. Second, some emergency changes in fishing regulations have been posted. The new regulations are very liberal, allowing anglers with a valid Utah fishing license to keep up to 16 trout and use any legal bait. Formerly the limit was two trout and fish had to be caught with artificial flies or lures.
Why the management changes? They are part of a plan by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and United States Forest Service to remove nonnative fish from the reservoir and turn it into a brood lake for Southeastern Utah's only native trout species. That unique species is the Colorado River cutthroat trout.
Having a brood lake will allow DWR to annually produce large numbers of Colorado River cutthroat trout for conservation and sport fish stocking purposes. Adult fish will be trapped in the major tributary, Duck Fork Creek, during the spring spawning season. Then eggs will be extracted, fertilized, and transported to a hatchery. After the eggs hatch, fish will be raised to fry or fingerling size and then stocked.
Without a brood lake for Colorado River cutthroat trout, there would be an increased likelihood of this rare species becoming federally listed as threatened or endangered. Also, fishing opportunities for cutthroat trout would dwindle in Southeastern Utah. During 2000, DWR in cooperation with numerous other agencies, made a decision to discontinue stocking nonnative cutthroat trout and require all subsequent stocking to be with Colorado River cutthroat trout.
Additional management actions will be necessary to establish a brood lake at Duck Fork Reservoir. Application of rotenone to the reservoir and its tributaries will be needed to completely eradicate nonnative cutthroat trout, which readily interbreed with Colorado River cutthroat trout and would reduce their genetic purity. The DWR hopes to perform the rotenone treatment project in September, after draining of the reservoir is complete and anglers have had an opportunity to harvest most of the fish. Rotenone application will occur over a period of 2-3 consecutive days. More information on the rotenone project can be found in an environmental assessment recently released by USFS.
Use of rotenone and introduction of Colorado River cutthroat trout are supported by the results of an angler survey, and have been approved by the Sanpete County Commission, Emery County Commission, Emery County Public Lands Council, Southeast Regional Wildlife Advisory Council, Utah Wildlife Board, and Utah Fish Health Policy Board. An application proposing these actions was sent to the State Resource Development Coordinating Committee. The Six County Association of Governments and Southeastern Association of Governments reviewed the application and had no comments. Although rotenone use is already considered a state-approved action, a final decision on rotenone use will not be made until responses to the environmental assessment are evaluated. That decision will be made by the DWR regional supervisor.
The USFS hopes to construct a concrete fish spawning trap on Duck Fork Creek, and to make changes in road and trail use which would facilitate administrative access to the trap during the fish spawning season. These actions could occur as early as this fall, but would more likely take place in fall 2003. They are described in detail in the environmental assessment. Decisions on the actions will be made by the forest supervisor.
Refilling of Duck Fork Reservoir will begin the same time the rotenone treatment project occurs. Colorado River cutthroat trout will be stocked after natural dilution and detoxification of rotenone occurs, probably by late October. Anglers should note that the current emergency fishing regulations will end on October 1. At that time, tackle restrictions requiring the use of artificial flies and lures will take effect again, and the reservoir and tributaries will be closed to the possession of cutthroat trout.
Duck Fork Reservoir has an exciting future! It will remain a quality cutthroat trout fishery, but with a unique and beautiful subspecies of cutthroat trout that can grow as large or larger than the present subspecies. The DWR intends to continue stocking tiger trout as a species that anglers can harvest.
Anyone who wants more information on the Duck Fork brood lake project should contact Louis Berg at DWR (phone 435-636-0268) or Cara Staab at USFS (phone 435-384-2372).

Double-digit growth is expected through 2014, when US online ad spending will reach US$52.8 billion. In 2016, the eMarketer study anticipates advertisers will spend US$62 billion online.
Fast growth has put online ahead of some traditional media, especially print newspapers and magazines. This year, US online ad spending will exceed the total spent on print magazines and newspapers for the first time, at US$39.5 billion vs US$33.8 billion. And as online shoots up, the print total will continue to drop.
Technology is leading the push for online advertising. The share of adults in the US who own tablet computers nearly doubled from 10% to 19% between mid-December and early January and the same surge in growth also applied to e-book readers, which also jumped from 10% to 19% over the same time period - thanks to Christmas gift giving and the flow on by word-of-mouth recommendation.
The number of Americans owning at least one of these digital reading devices jumped from 18% in December to 29% in January. The numbers of adults in North America, Europe and the devolped countries of the Asia Pacific who own internet connected smartphones is well over 60%.
From a marine industry perspective, advertisers are migrating in rising numbers, turning their ad budgets upside down. Analysts are adamant that to avoid losing market influence and share of consumer attention, brands and retailers need to invest their ad dollars online.
Steve Allen, media analyst and MD at Fusion Strategy, says that in Australia, online advertising surpassed magazines 'two or three years ago' and is likely to overtake newspapers this year.
Allen asserts that in the marine sector, consumer activity and confidence online depends entirely on how people buy goods. 'They may research at a bricks and mortar retail level, then go online and compare, then buy, as long as they know they have the security of warranty or being able to get help if something goes wrong. There are many people who wouldn't be confident to buy online, but many, younger consumers who know what they're doing and do purchase from the net.'
The key to successful e-tail sites, says Allen, is that they are engineered with the consumer in mind. 'Some are clearly falling short, but the new generation of e-tail sites are putting consumers at ease.'
Allen says it's not all about buying online, as branding advertising 'is coming in to its own' amd advertisers become more adept at tailoring campaigns, including more frequently, video components, to the online space.
Thanks to the popularity of smart phones, tablets, laptops,netbooks and connected TV, the stature of the Internet as the number one media and information source is an absolute reality. Commentators and analysts forecast the net will overtake newspapers this year in Australia for their share of ad revenue, having already outstripped magazines three years ago.
While there is still a sentimentality for traditional media among consumers, advertisers are moving away in droves as circulations fall.
Advertisers who have yet to dip a toe in online advertising are missing out on the consumer wave of technology that accommodates branding, campaign and retail advertising, reaching the tech-savvy, cashed-up consumers who are confident to research and buy online. If you don't have at least 50% of your ad budget online, you are missing out on the key market growth area.
