After four hours of discussion, comments, questions and presentations the Southeastern Utah Division of Wildlife Resources RAC came to a decision on a recommendation to be taken to the Wildlife Board in their June 9 meeting.
A vocal crowd gathered at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River to voice comments and concerns about letting wolves reestablish themselves in Utah. Kevin Bunnell from the DWR explained that the Utah Wolf Working Group was formed in the summer of 2003, it is comprised of 13 members plus alternates. The group met 13 times from Nov.-2003-April-2005 with one meeting remaining on May 31 to discuss all the recommendations from the RACs throughout the state. The group agreed to a consensus minus two in decision making. If more than two members of the group couldn't agree on an issue then it didn't make it into the plan. The discussions took the form of lively debate and not infrequent disagreement between group members.
The Wolf Management Plan will guide management of wolves in Utah during an interim period from delisting until 2015, or until it is determined that wolves have established. Upon establishment, the plan will be revised. During this interim period, arriving wolves will be studied to determine where they are most likely to settle without conflict. The goal of this plan is to manage, study and conserve wolves moving into Utah while avoiding conflicts with the wildlife management objectives of the Ute Indian Tribe; preventing livestock depredation and protecting the investment made in wildlife in Utah.
Under this plan wolves will be allowed to disperse into Utah, and be conserved, except when or where: wolves conflict with the management objectives of the Ute Indian Tribe; wolves cause unacceptable livestock depredation; or wolves contribute to wildlife populations not meeting management objectives as defined by the Utah Wildlife Board's predator management policy.
Livestock owners will be fully compensated for losses of livestock to wolves. Under the plan six strategies are proposed: develop and implement outreach programs; manage wolf/human interactions to benefit both humans and wolves; develop and implement wolf monitoring and research programs; manage wolf/wildlife interactions to meet the objectives of this plan; control livestock depredation and fully compensate livestock owners for losses of livestock to wolves; provide funding for wolf management.
The wolf group could not agree on the following issues which were left unresolved: Lethal control actions permitted for wolves harassing livestock on private or public lands. The group considered options but could not agree by using the consensus minus two standard. Options discussed: Lethal control not allowed; lethal control allowed with permit from DWR; allowed with a permit obtained in advance through training; allowed without a permit.
Lethal actions permitted for wolves in the act of biting or grasping livestock on private or public lands options considered but not agreed to included: lethal control by livestock owner or regular employee allowed without permit; action must be reported to the DWR within 72 hours.
Bunnell explained that the wolf was one of the first animals listed on the endangered species list. In 2002, recovery goals were met for the wolves which included 30 breeding pairs in the states of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. It was planned that wolves would be delisted as soon as these states had management plans for wolves in place at the state level. Montana and Idaho do have these plans in place and the Wyoming plan is currently in litigation which has delayed any delisting by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service board.
Scoping meetings were held throughout the state in 2004 to gather input from citizens concerning wolves. Approximately 1,000 people attended these meetings statewide. The overwhelming consensus of those at the meetings was not to allow wolves into Utah. Opposition to wolves numbered at 958 comments in the scoping meetings. A University of Utah graduate student surveyed by telephone, 709 randomly chosen people from both urban and rural areas on their attitude towards wolves. He received favorable response to wolves, people in general liked wolves as a part of a healthy ecosystem. "There is a diversity of opinions on wolves," said Bunnell.
Bunnell pointed out the Utah plan would not become effective until the wolf is delisted. Any wolves entering Utah now are under the jurisdiction of the USFWS.
Mike Bodenchuk from the USDA Wildlife Services spoke to the group. He said wolves get into trouble and they kill livestock. To try to prevent livestock kills, producers would use nonlethal methods. But when depredation occurs and killings continue, the producer is not under obligation to continue using nonlethal methods. Nonlethal methods include guard dogs, rubber bullets, tracking wolves with radio-collars, electric fences, flattery, etc. When a producer sees tracks they can report it to the DWR and noninjurious harassment of the wolves is allowed. Injurious actions against wolves would require a permit. These actions can drive wolves off for a time. A professional evaluation can also be requested. There isn't a difference between activities on public and private lands.
Bodenchuck said the wolf group couldn't decide if producers should be able to take lethal control of the wolf doing the harassing. A permittee can shoot a cougar or bear in the act of grasping. Recommended livestock losses would be reimbursed at market value of the animal had it lived to go to market; a confirmed loss would be reimbursed at 100 percent, a probable loss at 75 percent and a possible loss at 50 percent. The Department of Agriculture provides the information to the DWR on current market values. Only one of every 6.6 kills is found. There would be compensation for missing livestock by applying the multiplier effect. Until delisting, compensation comes from the Fish and Wildlife Service. State statutes do not allow the using of any wildlife permit money for any compensation. Money for these purposes would have to come from other sources. The endangered species donate $7,000 a year for livestock reimbursements.
Estimates for costs involved with wolves included $30,000 for research and monitoring with amounts varying from $10,000 to $120,000 each year depending on the level of research involved. Costs would also be incurred for private land incentives, outreach programs, Ute tribe and law enforcement. Estimates for having wolves in the state of Utah varied between $119,000-$254,000 per year.
The USFWS cannot delist the wolf unless a state plan is in place. This plan must be approved by the USFWS. A plan can keep Utah from being included in wolf recovery. The USFWS is not interested in taking an active role in reintroducing wolves into Utah.
One RAC member asked if would be to the state's advantage to let the USFWS manage any wolves coming into Utah. Bodenchuk said the USFWS can only take action on livestock depredation not any big game issues. If the DWR has control over the wolf the predator money can be used and they can take action if a state plan is in place.
Bruce Adams said $253,000 a year seemed like a lot of money to just manage 20 wolves.
Jim Gilson, RAC chairman questioned the makeup of the wolf working group and pointed out that conservation groups seemed to out number the others in the group. Gilson said Utah is not required to have wolves and is not part of the recovery area.
The three states involved are taking the lead in studying impacts. Their research can be used and doesn't have to be done again. They are monitoring impacts closely.
"Where in Utah could wolves ever establish where they don't have conflicts," said Gilson. Bodenchuk pointed out large areas in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho with vast expanses of uninhabited mountainous areas quite suitable for wolves. None of these exist in Utah. "Sooner or later wolves will kill livestock," said Bodenchuk.
Gilson asked what would happen now with the current status of wolves if one came into Utah and started killing livestock. Bodenchuk said the USFWS can take lethal control in regards to any wolf who gets into trouble.
The meeting was opened to comments from the public. Terry Johnson, concerned sportsmen, said he sees wolf establishment as a detriment to wildlife herds. Kurt Robinson from the Western Wildlife Conservancy urged the RAC board to approve the draft proposal. He said the wolf is not a typical RAC issue and the plan was developed with the help of experts and should be treated with fairness and constructive recommendations. He said Colorado recently passed legislation to allow wolves to roam freely in the state. Oregon also recently allowed eight pairs in their state. Robinson also recommended the board reject the Farm Bureau's recommendations for changes to the plan. He said his group has plans to hold a 5K run to raise funds to go towards wolves.
One Moab resident said he believes if any alterations are made to the plan it will result in the plan going to court. He would like to see wolves reestablish in Utah to eat some of the animals which are sick from chronic wasting disease.
Sterling Brown from the Utah Farm Bureau presented their proposed additions to the plan.
Erik Grover from the San Juan County Livestock Association said he is a father and his children help out a lot on the ranch and what compensation is there if a wolf takes a child. He read part of an article where a wolf was tracking a pack animal on the Salmon River and the wolf came after the woman in the story. "Don't buy the idea that wolves are afraid of people," said Grover.
Wes Shields from the CMWU said they supported the additions and recommendations being made by Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and other associated groups. He said he worked for the DWR for 32 years and they worked the entire time on expanding elk populations and it doesn't make sense to undo what's been accomplished. In the CMWU they work with landowners to keep open space and maintain it for wildlife habitat and he feels the establishment of wolves will threaten those partnerships gained.
Jason Branson read the statement from the SFW.
Lloyd Nielson expressed concern that the public opinion had no weight in the scoping meetings, because the no wolf recommendations were ignored and the survey taken was taken more seriously than the no wolf stance of the 1,000 meeting goers. "I'm insulted and I think that's wrong," said Nielson, "Bodenchuk stated that wolves will cause problems."
Leon McElprang said he wears many hats, dad, rancher, deer and elk hunter. "Our ancestors got rid of the wolves. They affected them. They hurt them. There was a reason they got rid of them. They look like trouble to me," said McElprang. He commented on if his cow went across the stateline he'd have to go and get it and it should be the same with the people in charge of the wolves.
Mont Gee expressed concern that even though the wolf has met its target objective in pair numbers it still hasn't been delisted.
Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud who also sits on the RAC read the county comments and comments from the public lands council.
Jordan Hatch reminded everyone that when the energy industries are gone, that agriculture and livestock will remain.
Lyle Bayles said the wolf group shouldn't have sent the plan to the RACs with unresolved items in it.
San Juan Commissioner Adams expressed concern that the Navajo nation wasn't represented in the wolf group and herding sheep is one of their main industries.
Walt Maldonado said that reestablishing wolves in Utah is like introducing, "piranhas into Lake Powell."
Laura Kamala from the RAC recommended the board reject the proposals from the Farm Bureau and the Sportsmen and adopt the plan as written.
Gilson said a number of proposals had been made and he approached each one separately. If a motion was made but not seconded it died. If a motion was made, seconded and then voted down, it died. The proposal to accept the plan as is, died. The proposal to accept the plan with the Farm Bureau and the Sportsmen requests died.
In the end the vote was 6-3 to accept the draft wolf plan as written with the additions of the Farm Bureau recommendations. The wolf group will meet again on May 31 and the Wildlife Board will have the final say at their June 9 meeting in Salt Lake. Other RAC meetings were held in Beaver, Roosevelt, Springville and Brigham City.

U of Michigan Law & Economics, Olin Working Paper No. 07-016

The 2006 OECD Report on attribution of profits to permanent establishments states that its recommendation "was not constrained by either the original intent or by the historical practice and interpretation of Article 7." Moreover, the Report recommends a redrafting of both the Article itself and the Commentary. Given this, it seems appropriate to begin by asking: If we were working on a clean slate, what would be the best way to tax MNEs at source in the light of 21st century business practices?
The beginning point has to be that a modern MNE does not operate as if its constituent units, either subsidiaries or branches, deal with each other as if they were separate enterprises. Instead, a modern MNE is generally a single, unified enterprise, managed from a central location by managers who are responsible to their shareholders for the results of the MNE as a whole.

New Turf Ready for Play
|The new field will be ready for play this fall semester. Photo by Danielle Lacey
This semester, there's a new and improved field to use at Saint Louis University.
Grass on the space located at the corner of Vandeventer and Laclede avenues was pulled up and re-turfed this summer to increase the field's shelf life and shorten its rest time. The project was conceived and moved forward by the Student Government Association.
The field, which was frequently in use by Campus Recreation intramural and club teams, as well as pick-up games, often had be closed for repairs and re-sodding. Students requested that the field be covered with an artificial turf because it holds up better under heavy use.
"One of the advantages to the turf is that it's been improved over the years," said Eric Anderson, director of Campus Recreation. "Although it is artificial, it looks natural."
"The big advantage is pure playable hours," Anderson continued. "It doesn't need the time to rest like natural grass does."
The field has been marked for soccer and flag-football, but will be available for other use, including intermural and club team, and unofficial "drop-in" play.
Last fall, 179 teams were registered with Campus Recreation and more than 1,500 participants took part in club and intermural athletics. Visit the Campus Recreation website to learn more about recreation opportunities or to join a team.

The December 2012 meeting of the Emery County School District Board of Education was held at Huntington Elementary School. Members of the Board reviewed the consent agenda, including the warrants, minutes for the November 2012 Board meeting and financial reports for November 2012. Katelyn Behling was approved as an Educational Assistant, 3 hour, Special Education for Ferron Elementary.
The monthly meeting calendar for School Board Meetings in 2013 was approved. They will be held the first Wednesday of each month during the school year except the summer meetings which are held at the district office on different days.
Principal Garth Johnson reported he is enjoying his transition to Huntington Elementary School. He thanked the Board for the opportunity and expressed that he feels rejuvenated in his current position. He commented on how impressed he is with the teaching at Huntington Elementary. He has been impressed with both the teachers and assistants and how hard they work. He acknowledged the struggles of many students, adding that he and the faculty are working hard to find ways to help each student, particularly with reading and math. Principal Johnson showed the Board the new iPad cart the school is using. The school has a committee looking for the best educational apps to use on the iPads. He thanked the Board for their support. President Johansen thanked Mr. Johnson for his report.
Superintendent Sitterud reviewed with the Board the status of the education evaluation program. He then discussed a recent rural schools study. The conclusions are that, for the most part, rural schools do better than their urban counterparts in the Core tested subjects and graduation rates, but not as well on college entrance tests such as the ACT. Rural students generally thrive in the basic curriculum and have low dropout rates, but aren't offered the breadth or depth of advanced courses offered to non-rural students. This may be suppressing college enrollment rates and keeping rural students from attaining higher levels of education. The study also showed that rural schools face significant challenges related to hiring teachers, particularly those in specialty subjects.
Superintendant Sitterud reviewed the final proposal for USHAA realignment for 2013-15. Green River will see no significant changes while Emery High will continue to compete in 2A, except for football, where they will compete in 3A. He then discussed a potential bill proposing to equalize commercial based property tax. This would result in a loss of capital outlay revenue to the District. The bill is being sponsored by Senator Aaron Osmond.

On Feb. 22 at 5:28 in the morning, an EagleMed helicopter lifted off from Integris Baptist Medical center in Oklahoma City, Okla. On board were a crew of three, Pilot Mark Montgomery, flight nurse Chris Denning and paramedic Billy Wynne.
They were on the way to Watonga, Okla., to pick up a cardiac patient for transfer. Three minutes and thirty seconds into the flight, the satellite tracking system which monitors flights for EagleMed stopped receiving data from the helicopter. Shortly after, that a 911 call from employees at St. Ann Retirement Center reported a helicopter crashed and on fire in their parking lot. The pilot and flight nurse were killed in the crash but retirement center workers pulled paramedic Billy Wynne from the burning helicopter shortly before it exploded.
Billy Wynne is the son-in-law of local couple Jim and Kathy Lindsey of Harrisburg. He was taken to a hospital in Dallas, Texas for treatment. The helicopter impacted on its right side, where Billy was seated. He suffered third degree burns over sixty percent of his body as well as fractures to his right foot, ankle and leg. Additional injuries included fractures to his collar bone and vertebrae and spinal injuries.
Billy is married to Katy Lindsey Wynne and the couple has a son, Nicholas, who is two and a half years old, they are also expecting a daughter in June. Billy enjoys building and gardening, having built an addition to the couple's home, refinished a mahogany boat and built a camper trailer previous to the crash.
"He loves flying" said his father-in-law, Jim Lindsey.
"He was a comfort to many, many people in the course of his work." Lindsey added.
Though one leg was amputated this week due to complications from his injuries, Billy is expected to recover from the crash. His family is requesting that members of our community send cards of encouragement for Billy, his wife and children. The address is: Parkland Hospital, Burn Unit, Attention Billy Wynne, 5201 Harris Hines Boulevard, Dallas, Texas 75235.
"Sometimes they had to fly in awful, dangerous weather." said Jim Lindsey adding, "Billy loves to help others."

(1) Henrik Sedin is now an assistant Captain. Turn's out he has something Daniel doesn't (aside from a slightly wider face). I wouldn't be suprised if Vingeault flipped a coin over this one;
(2) Cody Hodgson is back with Brampton after an unsatisfactory pre-season. However, Shirokov, Glass, and Rome are going to land rightfully earned roster spots;
(3) Mats Sundin has retired officially, a surprisingly fast decision for him; and
(4) Hansen has shattered his fist and dreams, hanging out on the long term IR with Demitra and Schneider for the start of the season.

Eugene, Ore. - No. 7 Stanford took control of the MPSF, clinching the No.1 seed in the conference tournament with a solid 18-13 defeat of Oregon. The win for Stanford (13-1, 5-0 MPSF) leaves the Cardinal as the only undefeated team remaining in the conference, clinching at least a share of the regular season title.
"I am really happy with offensive production against a tough MPSF opponent on the road," said head coach Amy Bokker. "We came out really strong in the second half and finished some great opportunities."
Leslie Foard led the Cardinal on Friday as the senior had five goals and an assist, converting all five of her free-position shots. Foard also contributed three draw controls and caused four turnovers.
Stanford fell behind early on as Oregon came out energized and built a 3-1 lead. The Cardinal fought back and took the lead for good with 7:01 remaining in the first half as Jacqueline Candelaria found the back of the net for the second time. The goal gave Stanford a 5-4 lead, which it would build to 7-5 at haltime.
Foard had a first half hat trick, while Candelaria and Sarah Flynn each had a pair of first-half goals. The Cardinal outshot the Ducks 18-12 in the half, while Annie Read made seven of her nine saves in the period.
Stanford came out in the second half to put the game away early. Karen Nesbitt scored three-straight goals in less than five minutes to make it 10-5. Rachel Ozer then got on the board and Foard added her fourth goal to build a comfortable 12-5 lead.
The Cardinal continued to find the net as it cruised to a comfortable 18-13 victory. Nesbitt scored a fourth goal, while Candelaria and Flynn finished off a hat trick apiece. Flynn pushed her goal total to 41 on the season and 137 for her career. She is now just six shy of the Stanford all-time record.
The Cardinal will close the MPSF season on Wednesday, April 20, when it travels to UC Davis. Stanford has clinched a share of the regular season crown, but will look to complete an undefeated conference season against the Aggies.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
When the doorbell rang the delivery I'd been expecting finally arrived—seventeen cases of books. Now these weren't just any books… these were the new Choclatique dessert books that I started writing more than three years ago.
Wow! As I ripped open the first box I found the beautiful, embossed and foil-stamped cover depicting a balloon whisk with a mixture of satiny melted chocolate dripping from the bail. It was so realistic, I thought I could smell the aroma permeating from the pages within. I was poised to take a lick when our logistics manager, Dave, came in and told me he had the first order for the book. This is exciting stuff for a guy who hasn't written a cookbook since he penned Stolen Secrets back in the late 1970s.
This is no ordinary cookbook. Like others, it has recipes, of course—over 150 to be exact—all using an easy to make ganache that makes professional looking and tasting, scrumptious desserts. Also, like many other cookbooks there are beautiful pictures. The food photo images were shot by the talented Jason Varney. The only thing that I requested was that the pictures not look too polished… I didn't want to scare away a less confident reader from trying out the recipes.
Here is how the book differs from other ordinary cookbooks. The book is based on five basic ganache recipes that you can mix and match to result in over 640 recipes and variations from the basic written text.
This book is also an adventure… it captures just 12 of a lifetime of stories of my travels to over 130 countries from the Amazon to the Serengeti in search of the best chocolate the world has to offer.
The book is sprinkled with QR (Quick Response) Codes…those funny little Rorschach squares you see popping up seemingly everywhere these days. When scanned by a smart phone they take you to a video of the ChefSecret that is at the end of many of the recipes. This is the first time that this technology has been available to be used in the publishing of a cookbook.
And, lastly and most important, the recipes make luscious tasting desserts perfectly for the first time and every time there after. It is a foolproof guide to making all of your favorite desserts.
Each recipe in Choclatique has been tested in the Choclatique Chocolate Studios at least five times. I have 25 pounds of extra weight to prove it. Five different artisans made each dessert to prove their accuracy and language.
The copy was proofed by an army of people. I wrote the original copy sending it on to my partner, Joan Vieweger, who then sent it back to me with corrections. The manuscript (MS) then when to Dave who checked it for spelling and grammar errors against the original copy. Mary Goodbody, author of over 60 books, then read the MS for continuity of style. Each time the book passed through different hands it was sent back to me with changes that I either excepted or rejected. When I felt it was ready, it was then forwarded to our publisher, Running Press, and our "super editor" Geoff Stone who parceled it out to a copy editor for the Adventures and a recipe editor for, you guessed it, the recipes. The MS was then completely reviewed one last time by Geoff, Mary, Joan and finally me. I must admit each time the MS was reviewed and corrected it made it a better read.
The original MS had over 250 recipes and nearly three dozen adventure stories. Nearly half have had to be put aside in order to keep to the original 300 page format. But I am one of those writers who believes that every word and recipe is a pearl so they won't be in digital suspense for long; they will be the basis for my next book—maybe we'll name it The Rest of Choclatique.
As I write this installment of the Choclatique blog, I am off on the first of many weeks of book tour/promotion. First stop, Charleston, South Carolina and an appearance on Lowcountry Live!
Watch for ChocolateDoctor sightings (that's me) in your area and on A Million Cooks and be sure to check out Choclatique, the book, found in bookstores around the world, Amazon, Walmart, Target and of course our remodeled website at Choclatique.com.
As always I wish you sweet dreams and chocolate wishes!

Skip to comments.Youth football coaches protest proposed ban in NY
Posted on 02/15/2013 2:35:05 AM PST by neverdem
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A New York Assemblyman's proposal to prohibit kids under 11 from playing tackle football isn't going over well with some coaches.
In Buffalo Thursday, a handful of youth football leaders and participants joined state Sen. Timothy Kennedy outside a stadium to protest the idea.
Assemblyman Michael Benedetto introduced the legislation last week, telling reporters it's meant to protect children...
(Excerpt) Read more at myfoxny.com ...
Damn...what the hell are those politicans in New York ingesting...?
Stupid pills ?
I think as more of these mental health studies are concluded with NFL players....there's going to be a change in public perception...and some school districts will forbid football altogether. Within a decade? Maybe two or three state forbidding football....even at the university level.
You might as well prepare yourself for a world without NFL football within twenty years.
So they want to ban the little kids that aren't big, strong, or fast enough to provoke serious injury?
Ironically, football may well be the catalyst that breaks Texas from the union.
The feminization of the modern male continues....
Replace it with rugby then.
It is a documented fact that NCAA Women's Soccer generates more concussions than NCAA Men's Football.
But...who would ever want to traffic in facts?
Reverse Darwinism, too. Big and Stupid is the genotype that succeeds beyond any intellectual attribute...
Yeah, keep the kids from playing rugged sports. Let them get fat and glued to the couch. These politicians (pigs) feeding at the public trough continue to destroy the country.
So you support a ban on football? Perhaps you should move to NYC. Seems your politics mesh pretty well with Bloomberg.
Not quite. "Big" is nearly always an advantage but "stupid" is a always a disadvantage. Not just in football, but everything else.
I think football is an interesting game but I do agree that some people take it too seriously.
Assemblyman Michael Benedetto gee, I wonder which Party he's a member of?
It's funny, I thought I read soccer causes more concussions.
All three of my kids played high school sports. My daughter and youngest son played soccer while my older son played football. The two soccer players have both had severe back problems and my daughter is having knee surgery next week. The football player is pain free. Now, I'm not saying that soccer caused their current problems but I don't think it helped.
Simple fix. Take away helmets or make them lighter like the old day and teach true form tackling instead of the "big hit" so every one can go "Whoaaa!"
The new fancy hi-tech helmets give an idea of invincibility and encourage leading with the head.
Truth be known most injuries are extremity (knee) related.
I equate the to modern day gladiator games.
His answer? Take away the face mask and cut the pads. The kids will learn to stop leading with their head.
Equating politics with contempt for football is kinda' generalizing, don't you think? It simply has no place in any institution pretending to be a school. It is death to academics, taking resources and promoting mayhem and violence. The US school system is at the bottom of the pile.
Ever listen to the fans? "KILL HIM" is very common. Schools now expel children for having a picture of a pistol, and then send them to a f**kball game to scream "KILL HIM".
And of course, big, stupid, and given to magical thinking is a phenotype, not a genotype.
As to NYC, it is an open sewer swarming with rabid rats posing as human. As to making PERSONAL COMMENTS about people posting opinions, ad hominem attacks are typical of New Yorkers, especially media types...
Sorry, but nobody is forcing you to watch football. You obviously have a deeper disdain for American culture and want to change it by banning a staple of the culture. That, my friend, is the very essence of liberalism. Violence and mayhem is the epitome of the testosterone and young men. Releasing it under controlled conditions beats the alternative. Or perhaps you believe we should pump them with Ritalin and raise our boys to be fags?
you you you. It isn't about me or you it's about FOOTBALL.
Fewer than one in 100 high school males get to "play" it, so it isn't a panacea for testosterone madness. Get them into a Karate class. Anyone can do that.
Since we're into peraonal attacks, you seem a typical liberal, intolerant of other's ideas and attacking the person rather than the idea. I am a combat veteran, father, and hate what has happened to the country.
Football is a waste, not a national treasure.
Hell, I played football. A good friend had his knee totally destroyed and I realized it could happen to me. My parents talked me into dropping it. Football is organized child abuse.
The liberal education systems is already doing the ritalin and fagging. Prozac zombies are the ones behind Columbine and Sandy Hook.
The only reason football is promoted is that it is one thing "academic underachievers" do very well. How many kids grow up to play football?
One in a hundred thousand?
The countries with the best academic standards have one thing in common - no football.
Research Universities have a phrase for fourth-rate schools, "They have a good football team".
That applies to the whole U.S.A. now. We have a good football team...
Or the American public can stop ELECTING these assholes to OFFICE!

I know this part of the board doesn't get much traffic, but I'll try this anyway:
What is everyone's opinon about the Broncos' RB situation, especially in regards to the impace it has on fantasy football? Right now Mike Anderson is supposedly the starter, but I can't believe that Tatum Bell, who started the last quarter of the season and seems to be the most physically talented back they have, won't pass him up by the start of the season. Of course, I assumed he would be the starter coming into camp, and that isn't the case.
So, who would you guys draft and when in the draft? I don't trust Anderson to be a starter for my team, as I see him getting passed up at some point in the season, although if he is on Draft Day I know people will draft him as one. If he is still the starter, I would draft Bell as my 4th RB, but not higher. Denver has a lot of RBs, but even giving Dayne and Clarett some carries, the starter should be a solid number two.

id take both low. this kind of situation keeps a lot of people away, and who knows, you could get anderson in free agency. i agree, itll be anderson and then bell will take over half way. thats no good for having one of those guys, but with the way denver backs play, having both could be huge.
Posted 07 August 2005 - 03:06 PM
In my honest opinion Bell will the the starter come week 1..Mike anderson has virtually no upside and has not done much in recent years. Tatum should be a solid no. 2 back, and no worse than a no. 3 if he can stay healthy.
Posted 07 August 2005 - 07:22 PM
in my opinon i wouldn't take a denver back in the draft. wait to see who starts week one or until they really name a starter tehn pick him up off waivers. i did it with droughns last year.

Post-9/11 Arab Outreach Rag Banned Donkey Images for Being 'Too Pro-Democrat'
After 9/11, the State Department launched an Arab outreach magazine to show off the splendors of American life. It didn't work and was mired in petty politics. For example: pictures of donkeys on camping trips were deemed too "pro-Democrat".
Randall Lane edited this magazine — which was, incredibly, titled Hi! — and came away with some freaking stories, man. Enough to fill up a new book of his! Here's when he knew he had to quit, before the magazine's funding was pulled in 2005:
One of my favorite sections loosely translated to "Window on America." It was a simple conceit: a photo essay showing what America actually looks like, unfiltered. A bass fishing tournament, a breast-cancer walk, the Puerto Rican Day parade-these were exotic images to most Arabs, too often poisoned about the United States by their inflammatory local press. But during one review meeting, held before a star chamber of 10 high-level State Department officials, the co-leader specifically took offense to a photograph from a classic Western scene: campers and pack mules heading out on a rugged weekend expedition.
Our team always remained vigilant about cultural sensibilities, avoiding the bottoms of shoes, or bare arms, or other seemingly innocuous images that could backfire with the Arab audience. This official's concerns, however, were more parochial. She held up the offending photo, as wholesome as a Norman Rockwell painting, and pointed to a pack mule that, by other names, might be known as a donkey. This has to go, she said. Too pro-Democrat. And out it went.
People really did get ahead of themselves back in the first Bush term, didn't they? The concern wasn't that the magazine needed to be visually stronger or have a more powerful message to effectively break through years of anti-American propaganda. They took its effectiveness for granted, and were more worried about what party these newly won-over Arabs would donate to when they started loving America.
They should totally start making Hi! again. Elephants presumably would be taboo this time around, but we don't go camping with elephants in America anyway.

BOSTON (AP) -- Brad Marchand scored the tiebreaking goal 36 seconds into the second period and Tuukka Rask made 25 saves, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.
Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara each scored power-play goals, and Jordan Caron added an even-strength score for Boston, which won its season opener against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Red Wings, who are in the same division with the Bruins after the NHL realigned following last season.
Detroit's Jimmy Howard, playing his third straight game, made 33 saves. The Red Wings were playing consecutive road nights after beating Carolina 3-2 in overtime.
On the opening shift of the second period, Marchand broke in and fired a wrist shot that caromed into the net off the far post, pushing Boston ahead 2-1.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Another significant part of golfing etiquette is prevention of damage to the golf course. Each player is responsible to prevent any damage to any part of the course. The rules for divot replacement also apply when taking practice swings. Although, players should avoid causing damage when taking practice swings.
A player should also cause no damage to the putting green when setting down bags or the flagstick. Be sure to place the flagstick and any extra clubs you may have by setting them down gently and not throwing or dropping them.
Avoid damage to the hole itself by standing a short distance away from the hole. Do not step directly on the edge of the hole. When removing the flagstick, be extra careful to do no damage to the surface of the green. Never use a club to remove the ball from the hole. Always bend over and remove the ball with your hand.
Players should never lean on their clubs, especially on the putting surface of the green. When the team has completed putting on a hole, the flagstick should always be replaced in the fully upright position before leaving the green.
If a team or player is walking the golf course, bags should never be placed on the putting surface. Always place them on the grass away from the green.
When a team or player is using a golf cart, the local club rules should be followed for the use of the carts. Many courses do not allow the carts to be taken off the cart paths. At some courses, the 45 degree rule is used. That means, a person is allowed to drive the cart along the path to a point where it is a straight walk to the ball for play. Some courses allow the carts to be used on the grass fairways.
In any case, local rules should be followed and if a person is playing a course for the first time, inquire at the pro shop for any local restrictions. Whether the course allows carts on the fairways or restricts them to the cart paths, a cart should never be driven on the tee box, within 30 feet of the green, in a sand trap, or on the green. Carts are heavy and will do a significant amount of damage to the putting surface and the teeing surface. Damage to the greens is very costly to repair, along with being extremely difficult for everyone who enjoys the game.
Local golf pros and superintendents would always prefer someone to ask about the local restrictions and rules, rather than try to repair damages done to the carts or the course. Carts are very expensive and can easily be damaged by unsuspecting users. Many courses have hazard areas off the fairways and greens. The rule is never to take a motorized cart into the hazard areas. Many are rocky which will do damage to the cart, and the hazards are not an appropriate place to drive a cart.
Failure to comply with the rules and restrictions at any course, may result in loss of playing privileges or use of carts. For those who really enjoy the game of golf, this is unacceptable.
Courtesy in treatment of the course and your teammates, along with others on the course is vital. Courtesy to the staff at each course is also extremely important. Their job is to keep the course playable and they are out there everyday working to ensure a good experience for everyone. Be aware of the their locations and never hit in their direction. They are alert to players and will move out of a golfer's path and wait until play is through to continue their work.
Golf is a game with rules, just as basketball, baseball, football, and any other sport. This series has not been aimed at the rules for play, only the rules for the etiquette of the game. Golf is a gentleman's sport and requires integrity and honesty on the part of each participant.
Golf can be a very enjoyable experience in the outdoors, but it can also be frustrating. A player must realize that no one ever begins the game as an expert. Everyone must learn the rules, the mechanics and the etiquette involved in this sport when they undertake to play the game of golf.

It was another great stay and if they gave 6 stars as an option, you would get that from everyone. Please know that the beds are amazing, yes. The location and amenities are amazing, yes. But it's you, Kathleen, what you do, and how you do it that makes The Olde Savannah Inn a 5 stars experience. You are the only reason I didn't try something new. It is my personality type to only try something once, even if I love it... Yet, I am convinced there is only one place for me in Savannah. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your irreplicable passionate love for hospitality.
As we drove into E Gaston Street and our Tom Tom said " you have arrived at your destination on your right" we were excited to see it was the stand out building on a beautiful street of Inns. The English garden was immaculate and there was a small fountain bubbling water. We marched up the impressive staircase and when we entered this magnificent building we were stunned at the immaculate finishings and antique furnishings. Despite being a classic heritage building there is no shortage of modcons with the place nice and cool and fully airconitioned with a lovely aroma of essential oils.We get an early taste of the weekend to come when we are greeted with hugs from the " one woman show " Innkeeper , Kathleen and a friendly welcome from Mr Cooper the wonderful beagle. As we had just driven from Atlanta we are escorted to the ground level Provence Room . My wife and I look at each other with excitement as the room is excellent which is always a relief when you book online. There is a fresh slice of chocolate strawberry cake waiting for us which is a nice touch. A Bose soundbox is playing softly and we are stunned by the library of American classics and books covering most genres. The French antiques are stunning and we are expecting Napolean to wander in. As we unpack we are impressed by the cleanliness which must be done meticulously given the furnishings, window coverings and books. The bathroom is spotless and there is a separate shower which is very large and has fantastic water pressure. The toiletries are of a very high standard and you feels so refreshed after a shower. The bed has perfectly ironed sheets and are top quality which always makes you feel at home and not just in a hotel. Before going to dinner on our first evening we wander upstairs to the living room and the grand piano and chandeliers had us reaching for our camera for photos. We then chatted to Kathleen for an hour as she served us beautiful red wine . She was so engrossing we nearly missed our dinner booking. This is what makes the bed and breakfast experience so special. When we arrived back from dinner we witnessed why the bedsheets feel so fresh as Kathleen was steam pressing them herself. This did not stop her from serving us some tasty Port and sweats as our conversation continued to well after midnight. Next morning when we wake up we can hear Frank Sinatra's dulcet tones coming from upstairs and the beautiful waft of bacon and eggs cooking. The breakfast room is like walking into any European fine dining establishment beautifully set with candles and double napkins which we also saw Kathleen hand pressing the previous evening. The famous breakfasts are spectacular and Kathleen gets a lot of chatter going among the guests where we actually get many hints on what to do in Savannah. On day one the breakfast had beautiful ham ,cheese and pesto sauce over a croissant with eggs with a side of bacon and home made sausage. There was fresh cut fruits, fresh juice and fresh pressed coffee. What a way to start a day in Savannah! Day two we enjoyed delectable blueberry pancakes with homemade frozen whipped cream. During our stay some Savannah rain had us returning home early and we enjoyed lying in the lovely bed watching movies on the flat screen which has so many channels to choose from. Kathleen's little extra touches were on show again as she made us a large bowl of popcorn! When a awesome 2 day stopover came to an end , we knew that we had had a special experience in Savannah when we were given goodbye hugs from Kathleen and there were red eyes all round. After a goodbye photo with Kathleen and Mr Cooper we were on our way to Charleston SC reflecting on a most wonderful weekend . This is a unique bed and breakfast experience where top marks are given for friendliness, cleanliness, quality of linens and toiletries and location. Highly recommended...
Last week during a difficult crunch time between job interviews in the South, my Partner and I set off to The Olde Savannah Inn seeking a well-deserved weekend break. Upon a late evening arrival, we wandered in together and were graciously met by Kathleen -- the owner/proprietor. She immediately charmed my Partner and me. After wandering into the front door we felt the romance of the hotel. From the start, Kathleen wholeheartedly welcomed us; and, revealed to us her special abilities to make us feel at home, combined with her attention to detail. Our room was the Renaissance Suite. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. We had two chandeliers -- in the bedroom and the spacious bathroom! The carved 4-poster bed made for a unique and grand sleeping experience. We immediately came to realize the benefits intelligent service. Kathleen answered all of our questions about the hotel and helped guide our understanding of Savannah for only a 2 night visit. She expertly meshed our wishes with our needs for getting the best slice of Savannah for a weekend visit: the best restaurant recommendations, sights not to miss, and insider tips. The morning breakfast ROCKED! The meal was prepared from scratch and could rival any gourmet breakfast restaurant and included fresh baked peach cobbler. Our weekend at The Olde Savannah Inn made our weekend Savannah experience extra special. We are certain that but for our stay at the hotel, we would not have had what became a memorable trip to Savannah. Kathleen's special character and skills – which are exemplary, and are rare in this day and age -- separate those who place "first" from the "also-rans."
We wish The Olde Savannah Inn every success and look forward to returning very soon!
My wife and I stayed at the Olde Savannah Inn April 12-15. What a great stay! If you've read the other reviews here, you know that the inn is beautiful and well appointed. We stayed in the Verailles-court room. Great room! The bedding was so luxurious and comfortable that we had a hard time getting up in time for the 9am breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, the owner, Kathleen, will make you the best breakfast you've ever had. I am dead-serious about that. We travel a lot and have never had better breakfasts anywhere in the world! Kathleen cares so much about the inn and that the guests are comfortable and having a good time. And on that, she certainly delivered. The inn is wonderful, the breakfasts are world-class, and we had a fantastic and memorable stay.
We checked into the Olde Savannah Inn for a 2 night stay and were very impressed with the level of service and free-range of the house. The other guests are warm and pleasant the atmosphere is exquisite. The linens are of the highest quality and the beds are incredible. I am a world traveler and have stayed in some of the most exquisite hotels, palaces and private estates in the world, and I have never stayed at a bed and breakfast of this caliber in the United States. It's even a top runner-up on the European front (for the price and amenities/service). The style is a very tasteful mix of Old World European, mixed with colonial elements and all sorts of Savannah relics, books, and history of course, plenty of hospitality. The house itself embraces you and it really makes you feel like you live right in the middle of historic Savannah. The prices (while high) cannot be marched anywhere in Savannah (that we have seen thus far).
We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at the Olde Savannah Inn. Our hostess and innkeeper, Kathleen, was so warm and hospitable. The house was elegant and wonderfully restored, yet comfortably as well. The Provence Room was available for our stay. We loved the cozy, almost cottage, feel it provided within the historic district. The fountain in the garden just outside our room was a wonderful touch and example of the detail and thought Kathleen has put into this gem of an inn. The linens were very comfortable and the room immaculate. Each evening we found a sweet treat waiting for us to enjoy from a slice of Coca Cola cake to a chocolate chip cookie. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed items such as fresh fruit, crème brulee French toast, blueberry pancakes with fresh whipped crème, and omelet's with goat cheese, fresh herbs and tomato, all served with a side of bacon and sausage. Kathleen helped us with reservations and tour advice as this was our first trip to Savannah. We would love to return to Savannah and The Olde Savannah Inn.
Dear Kathleen,
Mamie and I would just like to say thank you for an exceptional night at The Olde Savannah Inn. Our time spent with you and your staff was the highlight of our entire honeymoon and will not soon be forgotten. During our stay your southern hospitality and attention to every detail was truly manifested in every way possible. Both the evening seven course dinner and the five course breakfast were exceptional and incomparable with any fine dining we have ever experienced. The thoughtfulness you showed us by turning down the sheets, placing flowers in the room and just the general friendliness, kindness, and extraordinary attention to detail showed the extent of your desire to establish a bed and breakfast of distinction. We thank you again for the wonderful memories and look forward to future stay at the Olde Savannah Inn.
On a recent visit to Savannah we stumbled across this exquisite B & B and met the lovely innkeeper Kathleen. She was worth the trip to Savannah! We asked if we could see her Inn and she not only invited us in, but upon finding out it was my husband's birthday invited us to have cake with her and her guests! The amenities are 5 stars! How can we describe such a beautiful and romantic inn? The web site is but a glimpse of the inn's beauty. Kathleen recently opened the inn and the guests we met were beaming with pleasure and didn't want to leave to go home. She has a gift of hospitality and treats her guests and even those who aren't her guests... as royalty.
We look forward to booking our next stay in Savannah at this remarkable inn!
Dear Kathleen,
It was John and my first trip to Savannah and the Olde Savannah Inn. We loved both of them! Both are sumptuously lovely, elegant, and genteel. Your warmth and friendliness was the icing on the cake. (And certainly the great breakfast was too!) I really appreciated the five star hotel qualities of the room and bath as well as how immaculate everything was. Five star hotels will never compare to the charm and beauty The Olde Savannah Inn has and your attention to fine detail. We couldn't have picked a better introduction for ourselves. I hope we'll be back soon.

"These HURT! They felt fine at first, but after one day I was in pain from the way they rubbed against the top of my foot. I'm glad they took them back since you're not supposed to wear them out of the house, but there was really no way to know how much they hurt unless you wore them for an entire day. I also felt like they ran a little big, and seemed floppy. They're really cute so I was disappointed."

A 60 year old male and his friend, were hiking Baptist draw and Chute when the man fell and died from injuries sustained in the fall. Apparently the climbers thought they had gone past the exit point, when in fact they had not. Both men started to climb up a crack in the canyon wall to get out. Almost at the top one man fell and landed on a shelf about 75 to 100 feet below. The man fell Monday afternoon at approximately 3 p.m.. The Emery County Search and Rescue were involved in the search and the Utah Highway patrol helicopter was dispatched to the scene.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said Emery County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue and deputies spend Monday, Oct. 8 and all day Oct. 9 in the Baptist Draw area, in the Chute Canyon area of the San Rafael Swell. They recovered the body of a 60 year old male from the Denver, Colo. area.
The man had been hiking in the area with a male companion also from Colorado. They were joined by another Colorado couple on Monday. During the afternoon the two men became separated from the couple and attempted to climb out. During the approximate 500 foot climb, the 60 year old man lost his footing and fell approximately 30 feet to an initial impact, and then fell another approximate 100 feet to a ledge.
The uninjured man was able to finish the climb out after several hours and hike to his vehicle. He drove approximately 15 miles to I-70 where he alerted a Utah Highway Patrol officer of the situation and the trooper then contacted the Emery County Sheriff's Office.
The search and rescue responded to the Baptist Draw area on Monday night at approximately 10 p.m. and remained throughout the night. On Tuesday morning, with the assistance of the Department of Public Safety's helicopter, piloted by Terry Mercer, search and rescue personnel Ken Eley and Layne Potter were flown into the area. The body of the deceased man was recovered and flown out of the canyon to awaiting search and rescue personnel. The deceased was transported to the office of the medical examiner.
John Bart Calkins of Englewood, Colo. was the deceased man. Calkins was hiking with James Wheeler of Boulder, Colo.

Worcester lost their seventh consecutive Premiership match on Friday as Bath won 21-6 in torrid conditions at Sixways
Worcester lost their seventh consecutive Premiership match after Bath became the latest team to win at Sixways with 21-6 success on Friday.
Bath picked up another priceless away win in terrible conditions as tries in either half from Anthony Perenise and Horacio Agulla and a man-of-the-match performance from back-rower and captain Francois Louw saw the visitors to victory.
Worcester remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just two losing bonus points to their name. Bath, meanwhile, provisionally move up to second place behind Saracens.
George Ford put last weekend's indifferent goal-kicking display behind to land all four of his kicks at goal in the first half.
The fly-half put Bath 9-0 up through three penalties – the third coming from just inside the Warriors' half after Chris Jones had been found to be offside.
He then converted Perenise's 29th-minute try, which came after Matt Garvey had picked off Agustin Creevy's wayward line-out throw near his own line.
It was a tough blow for Worcester to take particularly after they had been denied a try only minute earlier when Anthony Watson had pulled off a brilliant cover tackle on wing Dean Hammond.
Paul Warwick finally got the under-fire Warriors on the board with a penalty a minute before the break.
Worcester clawed another three points back from Warwick's boot before Bath effectively made the game safe when Agulla touched down approaching the hour mark.

St. James' Universal Letter 1:19-27
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
MY BELOVED BRETHREN, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who observes his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing. If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
