Poorly-Timed Lehman Weddings In Times
Go figure: There were two Lehman Brothers-related weddings announced in Sunday's Times. The "for poorer" section of the vows must have rung brutally even before the company officially headed for bankruptcy, since the company was clearly in trouble before the weddings took place Saturday.
The poors might sympathize with the plight of the Lehman investor relations VP married to a fancy Yale doctor, since it can't be easy being a gay in the testosterone-soaked world of financial services. The VP for junk bond sales (pictured), however, is pure schadenfreude fodder.
Teddy Roosevelt may be charming; and we're terrified of the wrath of his new wife Serena Torrey, who runs marketing and business development for New York magazine. But the uninitiated reader will note only that the Lehman exec is the great-great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, and probably got his doomed job through, you know, connections.
From his Times bio. "His father is a managing director and investment banker at Lehman Brothers in Manhattan; he is also the chairman of the firm's council on climate change." As a tipster put it, "sure hope he cleaned out his desk before heading off to the honeymoon!"

Maca - Powder
Maca is a potent, ancient Peruvian superfood used by indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years. To make Navitas Naturals Maca Powder, our farming partners hand-select the finest maca roots, which are gently dried and milled at low temperatures. This careful process preserves the complex nutrition of this superfood.
- Cart Details
Superfood of the Andes
Maca is an herbaceous plant native to the high Andean Mountains of Bolivia and Peru. It is one of the only food plants in the world able to thrive at such a high altitude. Maca, and more specifically the root of the plant, has a long history as a superfood. The maca root was prized throughout the Inca empire for its adaptogenic-like qualities that enable it to nourish and balance the body's delicate endocrine system, and to help cope with stress. It also energizes naturally, without the jitters and crashes of caffeine, and it can aid in reproductive function, helping to balance hormones and increase fertility. Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is the natural form of this special root.
- How to use it
- Smoothies
- Chocolate
- Granola

Product of Peru
There is evidence that maca has been cultivated in Peru as far back as 1600 BC. We source our certified organic maca root from high up on the Junin Plateau in the Peruvian Andes. The stark, beautiful environment on the plateau is home to very few plants. Maca is one of the rare and special botanicals that can thrive in the extreme ecological zone. Days filled with intense sunlight and evenings of whipping winds and freezing temperatures infuse the roots with strength.
After harvesting only the finest maca roots, they are slow-dried and gently milled at low temperatures to preserve the natural integrity of the food. Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is certified organic, kosher, and non-GMO.

Root of Strength & Balance
Spanish conquistadors recorded in their journals that when they arrived at the puna of Junin in Peru, the babies were well-fed and adults were tall, attributing these characteristics to the diet of maca. The Quechua Indians in the central highlands of Peru continue to consider maca a highly nutritious food with a range of physical benefits and they include it as a regular staple in their diet. Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is loaded with nutritious vitamins, minerals, amino acids and plant sterols, including vitamins B1, B2, B, C, D, E, iron, potassium, copper, magnesium, selenium, phosphorous and calcium. It's a fiber-rich food and a good source of plant protein (about ten percent). Maca root is also a source of fatty acids, and it contains four unique alkaloids (Macaina 1, 2, 3 and 4).
Balancing Adaptogen
Peruvian folklores tell of maca being used in the Tahuantinsuyo Empire by warriors to increase their strength and endurance. The maca root has potent adaptogenic properties helping each body differently based on individual needs. Unique alkaloids found in maca, called Macainas, have been shown to nourish and support the endocrine system. Maca also provides an abundance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and sterols.

Incan Superfood
In the mountainous regions where maca comes from, it is a regular staple in the diet and is often eaten boiled and sliced, similar to potato chips. A popular preparation of maca is 'watia', a traditional method of cooking with a hole dug underground and filled with layers of maca and hot coals to roast the roots. Other preparations include use as a gruel with milk, and cooked with potatoes, apples, oats, quinoa or fava beans. The roots are also toasted and ground to prepare a maca coffee-like beverage, and fermented cooked and mashed to make a mild homemade beer. Some Peruvians prefer the boiled roots with water, milk, honey and cinnamon. Today, it is possible to find a wide range of products infused with maca, including whiskey, wine, ice cream and cosmetics.
Navitas Naturals Maca Powder has a pungent and sweet nutty taste with hints of butterscotch flavor. It can be mixed easily into smoothies, shakes and juices for a flavorful and healthy boost, and it can also be added to desserts and baked goods. Add some to your favorite pancake batter to create an energizing breakfast.
Maca Powder: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Maca Powder and Gelatinized Maca?
A: Gelatinized Maca refers to the process of removing the starches from the product allowing for easier digestion. Gelatinization uses heat to break the cellular walls of the starch molecules and they are extracted from the Maca. Maca Powder has the most enzymes, vitamins and nutrients intact as it is low temperature processed. We offer both so you can choose which best suits your lifestyle.
Q: What color is your Maca Powder?
A: Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is a blend of all the maca colors, black, cream and red. Each of the colors offers different adaptogenic properties. Our Maca is a blend of all colors, and therefore offers a broader adaptogenic quality.
Q: What does Lepidium Meyenii, Walpers mean?
A: Lepidium Meyenii is the biological, Latin name for Maca. Walpers refers to Gerhard Walpers, who first described and named Maca Lepidiium Walpers in 1843.
Q: What is the recommended daily dosage for Maca?
A: If you are new to using Maca, Navitas Naturals recommends starting out with ¼ to ½ of a tsp (1500mg to 2500mg). Each individual responds to Maca differently and some might find this dose to be substantial. Navitas Naturals recommends taking up to 1 tsp daily.
Q: Why does my Maca have a warning label on it?
A: Click here for more information about the warning label on maca products.

Dear Dr. Don,
Quite awhile ago, I put some money into a bank account. Is there a way to find out if there was money in the account even though the bank has changed hands?Thank you,
-- Valerie VacatedDear Dr. Don,
My dad had a $10,000 certificate of deposit dating from 1989. He tried to withdraw the deposit, and the bank told him to check with the state (California) for unclaimed money. That didn't work. I called the bank back, and they told me that I'm out of luck. What can we do?
Dear Dr. Don,

Dear Dr. Don,
My dad had a $10,000 certificate of deposit dating from 1989. He tried to withdraw the deposit, and the bank told him to check with the state (California) for unclaimed money. That didn't work. I called the bank back, and they told me that I'm out of luck. What can we do?
-- Edward Emptied
Dear Valerie and Edward,
If a bank loses touch with you for a period of time -- and how long depends on state law -- it will eventually turn the money in your account over to the state's unclaimed property fund. According to HelpWithMyBank.gov, a website operated by the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, most state unclaimed money programs look at whether there has been any customer-initiated activity or contact within the last three to five years.
The site also says that before sending the account balance to the state, the bank is usually required to try to find the customer. Banks may publish the names of the account holders in a local newspaper. Alternately, banks may send a letter to the last known address of the account holder. The bank will turn the account balance over to the state if there's no word from the account holder.
Which state to check? The bank should send the money to the unclaimed property division of the state from the account owner's last known address. Valerie, the money remains yours -- you just have to chase it down. It's fairly easy to do using your state's unclaimed property site.
Edward, once the bank has turned the money over to the state's unclaimed property fund, it's out of the bank's hands. Still, you shouldn't be out of luck. In general, a state holds the money for the account owner until it's claimed.
If the bank's last known address for your dad was in a state other than California, then checking with that state's unclaimed property office would be his next step. MissingMoney.com -- a site endorsed by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators -- can check multiple states in one search.
If the state in question was indeed California, your father should take a second run at the state's unclaimed money fund. He has the account documentation. The bank has said that it was turned over to the state, so the state should have the funds waiting for him. A letter from the bank stating that the account was turned over to unclaimed property would help his position with the state.

I wonder how many other people this happened to. Of course, they won't be responding to this thread. Somehow, I just have no interest in coming back here, and dealing with the clumsy redesign / overt monetization of SF. Once i saw the redesign, I don't think I came back until now. It was a well needed break from what had become a large waste of time. I never even posted my last 2 pics, as promised, but that's mainly b/c I've been wearing shorts and t-shirts lately. Having the redesign in the summer also contributed, as this is a time where jackets, slacks, shoes, and ties are in the closet, and one would have fewer reasons to come to SF anyway. I think what sealed it for me was the interruption of the email updates, which lured me back into SF each morning. With that interruption of flow, I have not thought about this place at all, and it was a clean break. I am sort of done with SF. In fact, I find it odd that I came here as much as I did. Maybe that changes when dress season returns, and clothing is again on my mind. Adios for now, and flame on!

Skip to comments.Top EPA official resigns over 'crucify' comment
Posted on 04/30/2012 9:42:49 AM PDT by Nachum
WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration's top environmental official in the oil-rich South and Southwest region has resigned after Republicans targeted him over remarks made two years ago when he used the word "crucify" to describe his approach to enforcement.
In a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson sent Sunday, Al Armendariz says he regrets his words and stresses that they do not reflect his work as administrator of the five-state region including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Tell him to put some ice on it.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Adios Al! He'll probably just go to some academic sinecure where he can complain of being martyred by the right-wing media.
BTW, for a professor he's not very good on geography and history. He said the Romans went to little towns in Turkey. Turkey as such didn't exist in the time of the Romans, most of the coast was Greek settlements, and the interior would have been Anatolia.
This socialist-statist nut should be CRUCIFIED.
Which brings the question, "What to fired libs do when there's nothing that they really can do that anyone's willing to pay for?"
Oh, forgot about academia, where one does not really need an education to "educate".
Here in Oklahoma, our electric company agreed to shut down two coal plants, in a deal with the EPA. Electric rates will rise 20%, just as Obama promised.
Start with energy... If I wanted America to fail
Couldn't have happened to a nicer Communist Thug!
But there was nothing to it, the WH assured us.
...make room under the bus, there's others due.
This weasel will prolly go back to Southern Methodist U....he was on leave from there. These commies always have jobs waiting for them either in Gov't, NGOs, charities, universities. They love to hole up in publicly funded universities and live off the taxpayer ...like Bill Ayers
You nailed it——start with energy. I blast faxed the 'If I wanted America to Fail" to all my buds in the Oil 8 Gas Industry.
Got a bazilion responses.
"In order to have a "new energy economy", utility prices must necessarily skyrocket" (broke hussein osama)
Buh Bye!!!
People may be taking notes already.
Hah, stop me when you get the idea:
Center for American Progress
People for the American Way
Brookings Institution
ACORN fronts
Total unadulterated horseshit
"...........after Republicans targeted him over remarks made two years ago when he used the word "crucify" to describe his approach to enforcement"
No, Dino the Google News reporter has no Left Wing bias, none at all...
I guess Companies will now be crucified by the EEOC for lack of doctrinal diversity when they flee from SMU and fail to employ its engineering graduates.
most of the coast was Greek settlements, ....figured that
and the interior would have been Anatolia. ....never heard of that, and looked it up.
Geez, I love FR. I learn so much from chatting on here.
It's sad. America has lost a clown. I laughed loud and long at Al. I hope never to hear of future students laughing him out of his classroom — unless YouTube can catch it, so I can see *and* hear it! But seriously, folks, if B Hussein loses a couple more clowns, he'll have to take on "Buffoon-In-Chief" as yet another of his major titles.
Only in a Nation of PC-Nazis and spineless whimps.
He learned the hard way that in Obamaville you're just supposed to do it—not tell people you're doing it.
The wheels on Obama's bus go round and round.
I play racquetball with a lobyist here in Tulsa. Last Saturday, he mentioned he needed a list of talking points. I pulled out my phone and showed him If I wanted America to fail
He watched it three straigt times. 'Economic suicide pact' is his favorite line. He sent it out to hundreds, including the Governor. At the time, it only had 12,000 hits.
Methinks a groundswell is in the works.
I know what you mean. Although I have been a voracious reader all my life, particularly history philosophy and geography, I have learned tons in FR these last twelve years, usually through links and references posted by others.
This particular area of your interest is little known by anyone, since ancient history is not all that popular, but your questions are partly addressed in the following book, by our (California) very own Victor Davis Hanson :
Lots of learning there. The Greek civil war which lasted 50 years and was as vicious as our own.
The clearer picture of the cradle(s) of Democracy. A grasp of the cultures in Asia Minor and the Eastern Mediterranean, and more about Greek culture that most people learn in a lifetime.
I have reread this book several times and maps are clear and priceless. Just wish there were more of them.
That seems to be the way it is done... let them be incompetent and promote them.
These jerks think they can just apologize and it makes it all better.
He isn't gone, just reassigned.
In local news, a senior EPA official was killed today when he was mysteriously thrown under a bus.
Right idea. Wrong target.
Marxist revolutionaries, who according to their own writings wish through deceit and subterfuge to replace US Constitution with some statist hierarchy, should be hunted down and executed. Every mother's son of them. No mercy.
This is what they will do to the rest of us when they succeed.
You are correct....... within one month of arrest, no prolonged legal harangues.
He will pop up somewhere else within the vast federal bureaucracy.
Isn't this the first Obama minion to actually admit a mistake and step down? Somehow the media didn't succeed in giving him cover. Interesting.
The crucify video is back on YooBoob, uploaded by Imhof's office.

Plenty of 'underwhelming' choices...Posted Wednesday, June 15, 2011, at 10:08 AM
Last night's GOP candidate debate in New Hampshire left us underwhelmed.
Right now, we're not overly excited about any of the candidates -- either Republican or Democrat -- who are making a bid to lead our nation after the 2012 election.
We have 17 months of campaigning ahead of us, a time period that will almost certainly prove mind-numbing to most voters.
So far, both parties are playing to platitudes, rather than sound policies.
Like weather forecasters and economists, every politician running for office claims to have a clear crystal ball predicting what the future will bring, even if all of them have had a poor record in the past for anticipating events -- such as the economic meltdown that occurred two-and-a-half years ago.
In fact, most of the candidates last night had praised the deregulatory actions that led to the meltdown -- and then either didn't offer any viable alternatives or went along with the bailout most experts now agree was vital to preventing a world-wide depression. But they complained about it, anyway.
Several of the candidates seemed to be rewriting history to justify their positions -- but then, we've got some candidates who've proven they don't have a good handle on history in the first place.
Right now, the major issue is jobs. In our opinion, every other issue must take a back seat to finding ways to greatly expand the number of jobs in this country -- and we're not talking bottom-feeding minimum wage jobs, but jobs that actually allow people to support a family. Last month's jobs report was terrible, and if McDonald's hadn't hired 60,000 people for low-paying wages it would have been in negative numbers. Relying on McDonald's wages to turn the economy around doesn't strike us as a firm foundation for the nation's economic growth.
None of the candidates Monday night, the president or Congress, seem to have a clear plan for how to get people back to work, and right now that's the most pressing need in this nation.
Perhaps other candidates will pop up between now and the primary elections who will have better ideas, or one of the existing candidates will spend more time working on a sound, comprehensive and workable policy than on sound bites and "marketing" their campaign. Platitudes won't solve the problem. Last night was not a great start on the road to a brighter future.

What is this, Kelly has something other than glorious praise for his savor Obama. How dare he question his plan to create or save jobs? I can understand him taking a swipe at Sarah Palin with his "we've got some candidates who've proven they don't have a good handle on history in the first place." comment; but she isn't even running as of today. And then there is the stimulus, 30K for research on giving brown trout glasses and 5 million for a new runway at an airport in a town with two residents. (These are just examples of the way some of his shovel ready jobs where thought out). I could care less about the rest of the world and if they go into a depression. I care about the USA and if we don't stop spending we will end up just like Greece and head down the road of Europe. Can you imagine if we cut of free college education to illegals, cut off all benefits to illegals and anyone failing a drug test? That would not be good, no we need to have the drug addicts on SSI and welfare so they can buy the drugs from Mexico and keep the drug lords in power. Now that is the way to run a county, I thought Obama was going to make this a utopia like he did for Illinois and Chicago.

My Mom was on Medicaid the last couple years of her life. She lived to be 91 yrs old and she had a nice chunk of savings, however that dwindled down fast when I put her in the nursing home. She got a retirement check and all but a few dollars each month went towards her payment to the nursing home the rest of it Medicaid picked up. She had dental care which medicaid paid for. She needed dental work and didn't have but a few dollars in her checking account.
When she died what was left in her checking account the nursing home got that.
You have to be pretty much penniless to get medicaid....
There are many many elderly on medicaid living in nursing homes...

The example of the guy that won millions in the lottery but is receiving food stamps (credit card) from taxpayers. He is still eligible to receive the handout since they don't consider lottery winnings as income. He also stated he will continue to collect since they can't stop him even though he has millions in the bank. This is how these freeloaders think, give me...give me...give me. I shouldn't have to work or try if some sucker will work two jobs and pay me not to work. Let us do away with all these entitlements unless you are too old, sick, or can't take care of yourself. I don't mean he/she has bi-polar so let's give them SSI, I mean your mental so we are going to commit you sick and you will have someone appointed to oversee your welfare. No voting and someone will make all your decisions for you if you get assistance. I was watching JAIL on TV one night and a guy was brought in for stealing from his mother, he flat said he already spent his SSI (government check) on weed and needed to get more. He smokes pot all day and the taxpayers (you and me) pay for this. My favorite is to watch the welfare junkies buy steaks and brand name products with their food stamp card then buy beer and cigarettes with a roll of cash, topping off with getting into a newer car or truck. Freeloaders got to hate them, where is the drug testing? It is good enough for the military it should be good enough for the freeloaders.

I checked out your link Homer
Did you see this
The aritcle also states that the poll in the first June of the election cycle bears little resemblance to the final outcome. It predicted Reagan to lose to Mondale, It predicted Clinton to lose to Dole all had a mid 40's approval rating as Obama does. The poll means nothing at this point and Gallup goes to pretty great lengths to let you know that

Great Product!!!I got my hair done today. My hair dresser usually uses Matrix Smooth to straighten my hair, but today she used the brazilian blow-out. It took her half the time to blow dry my hair. It is smooth and without frizz. Everyone has different type of hair. So I understand that some people may not like it. But to say that it burned your thoat??? I think the Matrix smooth has a strong perfume smell. It is a great product and my hair looks terrific!!! Maybe it is good for people with thick hair. I have naturally thick curly hair, but not course.Feb 5, 2011BellaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Ruined My Hair.................This product can prove to be extremely toxic. Inhaling the fumes from the treatment caused me to experience a serious bronchial/pneumonia condition from an actual chemical burn to my throat. My doctor reported this incident to the Poison Control Center in Denver, only to find out I am not the first. BEWARE!

Didn't Work For MeI may have put too much in, but it left my hair flat and took forever to dry. I have long hair a bit past my shoulders and it's color treated, dry and frizzy. I had a keratin treatment almost 2 months ago and it's already wearing off so I need a product to combat the frizzies and am back to using a flat iron just not as hot. I do like the Brazilian Blowout overnight conditioning mask. For a leave in, I like other products better.

Sounds Great But Fails To DeliverUnfortunately this was not the miracle product to reduce the Frizzies as I had hoped for. The first application I used a nickel size portion as recommended and it left my hair in a complete greaseball condition. So much so, I had to rewash my hair. The second time I used the product I used a half a dime portion and got no visible results of smoothing as advertised. I have used other Folica products and was very happy at the results I received. This one sounds too good to be true and definitely does not deliver!
I would not recommend this product. Brazilian Blow Out results are better left to the professional salons.Nov 15, 2010Cynthia E. / Jacksonville Beach, FloridaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Feeling Stressed? So are Poplars
This post is part of the Science Tuesday feature series on the USDA blog. Check back each week as we showcase stories and news from the USDA's rich science and research portfolio.
By Jennifer Donovan, Michigan Technological University
People aren't the only living things that suffer from stress. Trees must deal with stress too. It can come from a lack of water or too much water, from scarcity of a needed nutrient, from pollution or a changing climate. Helping trees and crops adapt to stress quickly and efficiently is a pressing goal of plant biologists worldwide.
A team led by Michigan Technological University scientists and supported by USDA and DOE grants has identified the molecular mechanism that Populus—the scientific name for common poplars, cottonwoods and aspens—uses to adapt to changing soil conditions, as well as some of the genes that turn the process off or on. They hope to apply what they've learned to find ways to use biotechnology or selective breeding to modify the trees to make them more stress-tolerant. And better sources of pulp and fiber.
"Our hope is that by understanding how this works, we can manipulate the system so the plants can adapt faster and better to stressful conditions," explained Michigan Technological University's Victor Busov, senior author on a paper about this work published in the journal The Plant Cell.
Busov and colleagues at Michigan Tech, the University of Georgia, Oregon State University and the Beijing Forestry University in China analyzed thousands of genes in the Populus genome, the only tree genome that has been completely sequenced. They were searching for the mechanism that regulates the plant's decision to grow tall or to spread its roots out in an extensive underground exploration system that can sample the soil near and far until it finds what the rest of the plant needs.
The key players turned out to be a family of hormones called gibberellins, referred to by the scientists as GAs. "GAs' role in root development is poorly understood," said Busov, "and the role of GAs in lateral root formation is almost completely unknown." Lateral roots are the tangle of tiny roots that branch out from the primary root of a plant. "They are the sponges," Busov explained, "the ones that go looking for nutrients, for water—the ones that do most of the work."
The researchers hope to understand how to turn off production of GAs, which would stimulate more roots and fewer leaves and twigs — and thus help poplars cope with drought conditions, a valuable trait in a world where water scarcity is increasingly a problem.

All-pro cornerback's strong example on education is overshadowed by silly off-field behavior
Richard Sherman has a degree from Stanford. And the 2011 fifth-round pick also earned all-pro honors in his second season with the Seattle Seahawks.
He is an amazing success story, wrapped in will, skill and quick wits. He made it out of Compton, Calif.
Yet execute a Google search, and the menu is littered with foolishness, much of it stemming from a recent Twitter beef with New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
What a shame.
CHOP THESE BLOCKS?: Texans' Cushing pushes for rules change
Sherman — who also has made news for taunting Tom Brady and for winning an appeal of a four-game NFL suspension for the banned substance Adderall — has so much to offer, but he's building a reputation fueled by idiocy.
Wednesday, Sherman went back to Compton and his alma mater, Dominguez High School, as part of a three-stop tour to promote educational goals. During a chat with USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday, he was jazzed up about his ambitious theme, which included goal-setting and hurdling socio-economic obstacles.
"I'm telling them there's another whole world to explore," he said.
Let's hope that Sherman did not encourage the kids to get a degree, then become loud-mouthed trash talkers prone to disrespecting peers.
When Sherman got in Brady's face after an October win vs. the New England Patriots, it seemed like a competitive psych thing. Maybe for himself. For fun. Some choose cold-shoulder tactics; others use drama.
But the social-media tiff with Revis, and the expressions about being the NFL's best cornerback, was such a waste of his newfound platform.
"People are listening to him," said John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which promotes the hiring of minority coaches and executives in the NFL. "Why not say something meaningful to other people? And to me, the worst thing a guy can do in trying to push himself up, is when you disrespect someone else."
Wooten once played guard for the Cleveland Browns and blocked for his roommate, Jim Brown. He wishes more players would use their fame to support social causes. I agree.
Think Sherman feels that vibe?
"That's the type of thing you should always want to do," he said. "It's part of responsibility we have."
Sherman sounded respectful enough. But that's a contrast to, say, sniping with Revis over silliness. Remember, the great ones don't have to tell you that they are.
"What, is he up for a new contract?" Keyshawn Johnson said.
Sherman, due a $555,000 base salary in 2013, has two years left on his rookie contract. Revis is due $6 million in cash and bonuses this year.
"This is an era we're in," Johnson said. "It's a social media era, a push-the-button, can't-return era. Maybe he hasn't grown up yet. You're talking about a kid, not a 50-year-old man. I know what you're getting at, but it's expecting a lot for some of these young guys to focus in."
Johnson, a former wideout drafted No. 1 overall in 1996, has parlayed his football career into business ventures, including investments in several Panera Bread franchises. He also can relate to Sherman. Johnson grew up in South Central Los Angeles.
"Just think of what Richard Sherman had to do academically and athletically to qualify to get into Stanford," Johnson said. "You don't get any slack because you're an athlete. I don't know what his test scores were, but they had to be through the roof. That says a lot about him."
That commitment to education should define Sherman, because the self-promoting chatter tests poorly.

Can you explain why would it stops or limits the aging process?
As far as I'm aware puerh requires certain amounts of oxygen and airborne microbes to ferment. After a certain amount of time in a totally closed environment the necessary elements will be used or changed which will limit or stop the fermentation process.
Of course I don't know nearly as much about puerh as you so this may not be correct, however, I know Marshaln does not believe in sealing puerh and I respect his opinion as well.
I am not sure how much air does it need to keep a cake from stop breathing (aging)? I am not sure either if Marshaln does not believe in sealing (with air) puerh cakes... I know he does not support vacuum seal in Hong Kong climate. We should let him clarify?

By KEN LARSONEmery County Progress publisher
I like to think of my recent trip as an adult education class. It was like a new history or science lesson every day for a week as I traveled to seven national monuments and two national parks, all in Arizona. Although all the sites were in the northern and central areas of Arizona each was extremely different.
I have written about my intention of visiting every national monument and park in the United States in this lifetime. Three years ago, when I moved to Utah, I set a goal of touring 10 new areas every year. I thought I would start 2005 with a sweep through Arizona and was able to get nine more areas checked off. This brings my total to 47 with over 300 left to go.
I traveled down U.S. Highway 191 and began the adventure in Canyon de Chelly and then headed south to Hubbell's Trading Post and the Petrified Forest. From there I drove west along Interstate 40 and was able to visit three sites near Flagstaff. I saw Walnut Creek during a snowstorm but was able to wait and tour Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki after it cleared up. I watched the sunset and rise over the Grand Canyon and finished the trip with a loop through the Verde Valley catching Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot.
Although I grew up and lived around some of the most spectacular National Parks in America, such as Yellowstone and Glacier, I had no idea the history and knowledge that could be gained by exploring and studying the individual sites. I have to admit I understand more about geology and history of our ancestors after three years of adventures than I did during all those classes in high school and college.
Millions of years of land uplifts and stream cutting created the colorful sheer cliff walls of Canyon de Chelly. Natural water sources and rich soil provided a variety of resources, including plants and animals that has sustained families for almost 4,000 years. A red-tailed hawk casts moving shadows on the sheer walls as it floats high above the canyon. This canyon is the only area that I visited this trip that is still home to native Navajos, who raise corn and squash in the lush meadows, while cows and horses graze the river beds.
A family at Spider Rock Overlook marveled at the 800-foot free-standing spire and the quilt of colors far below. The fresh blanket of snow left the red and brown cliffs with a thin liner of white, while dirty water rushes through the green meadows, with stands of junipers shivering in the winter air.
My Indian guide spent his entire 65 years in the canyon and tells story after story about his family and their crafts and methods of farming as they added their own designs to the walls of this ancient gallery.
Reservation trading posts were often the only direct point of contact between Native and non-Native Americans until well into the 20th century. John Hubbell's contribution as a trader was significant and his legacy a few miles south of Canyon de Chelly still stands today.
Explorers, artists, writers, and scientists enjoyed the atmosphere at Hubbell's trading post and the hospitality of Hubbell himself. Rugs, baskets, jewelry and Kachina dolls still fill the shelves of the oldest post still in existence dating back to 1876.
Best known for its vast deposit of petrified wood, the Petrified National Park is actually two parks in one. Petrified wood is only one type of fossil that I found in the park. Giant reptiles and amphibians, early dinosaurs, fish, ferns, cycads and trees represent an entire ecosystem. From the layers of the often colorful Chinle formation, scientist continue to put together the story of the past.
Walnut Creek, Sunset Crater, and Wupatki are three national monuments with very different landscapes. All within a few miles of Flagstaff, the three monuments all portray the earth's varied geological past. The landscapes were shaped by the violence of volcanic eruptions and by the slow erosion of older rock layers, which in turn reveal evidence of ancient seas and sand dunes. Two of the sites show pueblos at Wupatki and cliff homes at Walnut canyon. I was able to experience things about the lives of people here, their migration, living conditions, conflicts, cooperation, ingenuity and achievements.
Of course the grandfather of all parks is the Grand Canyon. Perhaps no landscape on earth is as surprising as the vast yet intricate face of this spectacular park. I watched the sunset as I hiked up from the bottom on South Kaibab trail and then the next morning I caught the early morning colors dance through the canyons below as yellows, reds, oranges and browns changed by the moment.
Although it was cold, and small drifts of snow hung on the top rims of the canyons, this is a perfect time to visit the canyon: lower rates, less people and vivid colors. The awe-inspiring views of the canyon have been topics of hundreds of books and magazines and its beauty and size humbled me every time I glanced down. Its timelessness provoked a comparison to our short existence and in its vast spaces I often wondered what life was like in the canyon 200 or 300 hundred years ago.
The final leg of the trip was south as I toured remnants of two distinctive cultures that once flourished in the Verde Valley. The first permanent settlers here were the Hohokam, They were a skilled farming people that moved into the valley over 1,500 years ago and grew crops of corn, beans, squash, and cotton and watered them by irrigation.
The other group of people were the Sinagua, (Spanish for without water) who inhabited the nearby foothills. They left their imprints with pithouses, and above-ground dwellings.
The questions that seem to still be asked is why and when these tribes abandoned their villages. Although there are plenty of speculations, which range from drought to conflicts, it is clear that there were no tribes living in the area around the mid-1500's when the Spanish arrived.
It was an incredible trip and I still marvel at the sights as I look at the photographs I took. History and geology keep changing and I am grateful that I can learn a bit of the past by traveling through our many yesterdays.

By James R. NelsonFerron City resident and county water user
Dear Editor,
Ferron City with Castle Valley Special Services is proposing an unfair and discriminatory increase to county residents served by Ferron City culinary water.
We view the proposal to triple overage fees as punishment for people who live outside the city boundaries. The problem is that most of the county residents served by the water system are watering animals with culinary water during winter months. Farms and ranches are outside of the city limits where they belong. Stockmen are rapidly trying to solve this problem with a not-yet-completed stock watering system. This is a very expensive project and will take some time and a lot more money to complete. We need more time.
If the proposal to radically raise these water rates is passed, many producers will pay about the equivalent of a steer or more each month for water during the winter and early spring. It is already nearly impossible to show a profit ranching or farming without this horrific financial blow. The unfair element is that county residents served by the Ferron system have no voice or vote in the matter even though they are the largest owners of water in the Ferron Canal and Reservoir Company that supplies water to Ferron City.
Presently the monthly fee for water in the Ferron system is about $18: the same fee charged city and county residents. The contention is that residents of the city proper also pay a property tax of about $12 per month while county residents do not pay this city tax. We propose to pay this additional $12 each month and then receive the same overage rates as city dwellers. This seems only fair when you consider stockmen and farmers have paid for water conservancy in the Ferron system.
If one considers that even with government subsidies, all members of the Ferron Canal and Reservoir Company incurred heavy expense and in most cases heavy debt to install underground water and sprinkling systems to conserve water in the system. This is critical to water supplies even during good water years. It makes substantially more water available to city dwellers who did not participate in this expensive project. Those who own the most water are those who paid the most and are now the ones being attacked the hardest by this proposed huge increase. This seems extremely unfair. Ferron stockmen and farmers' share of this project amounts to about $7 million.
Stockmen and water shareholders propose to solve this unfair proposal with payments of the additional $12 each month to equal the taxes paid by city residents. They merit the same overage charges paid by all culinary water users in the system. Give us time to complete our stock watering system. Don't punish those who have taken the biggest and most expensive steps to make water available to residents of the Ferron area. We have been supportive of Ferron City, the golf course, and the secondary water system. Why punish us with huge, unfair fees?

Garrett Conover recently passed his P.O.S.T. which is, police officers standards and training. He and several members of the Emery County Sheriff's Office were on hand at the graduation ceremony. Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon presented Conover with his peace officers certification.
Conover said the training included: firearms training, emergency vehicle operation, field sobriety, radar, accident scene investigation and six weeks of training on law. The P.O.S.T. training is an extensive 17 week course.
Conover said they had to be able to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes and 12 seconds and do 40 situps in a minute and 35 pushups in a minute. They also have to be able to do a stretch of 19 inches past their feet while sitting down. Conover attended classes during the week and came home on the weekends.
"We went and trained at the state fair park where they had crime scenes setup which we had to work through. They called this training a day in the life," said Conover. They had a test after each training and a final test which incorporates all they have learned. They also learned self defense and defensive tactics. Conover is still working in the jail and is out on patrol two days a week for training.
Conover is married to Tiffany Truman Conover.

From the coast of California to the Swamps of Florida, the Teckel USA Honker Frog features a classic design that has been proven to put Donkeys in the boat. Created by Japanese lure maker and tournament angler, Hideki Maeda, the Teckel USA Honker Frog was designed using a classic amphibian shape and action that anglers and bass still can't stop thinking about.
The Teckel USA Honker Frog features two metal feet attached at the rear of the bait using premium ball bearings. These metal feet generate a unique waking effect that is sure to grab the attention of bass lurking beneath the vegetation. Additionally, the Teckel USA Honker Frog also features a built-in weight that makes casting a breeze, and ensures that it won't land upside-down. The combination of a razor-sharp Gamakatsu double frog hook and an extremely collapsible body gives the Teckel USA Honker Frog a strong strike-to-hookup ratio.
Building upon a proven croaker profile, the Teckel USA Honker Frog delivers a slightly different look that frog-hungry fish won't pass up.

Comments: This lure is highly effective. I have gotten bass & tiger musky, there is a great deal of action created on the surface of the water. However; the body often needs to be adjusted as it doesn't sit right within the weedless hooks and you will likely miss a lot of fish. Overall, a great lure with a couple drawbacks, one of the most effective weedless frogs available. Colors also aren't very good. The bluegill color is best, but not currently available for some reason.
From: Aaron: Minneapolis, MN 8/28/16
Comments: This frog is sick! When you real it in slow the metal legs bang against each other & make it look like bait fish flipping on top. The sound the and flash the blades make are completely unique to anything I've seen. My local lake is known for its frog fishing and I've had a lot of blow ups on this thing. Whether the fish want bait fish, blue gill, or frogs this covers the board. Really excited to see what it does for me this year!
From: Bgood419: OH 6/15/16
Comments: I really have to take back the things I said about this frog. It has stopped sinking. It has a great hookup ratio & I haven't tuned it. The other day I caught 6 fish on the black with yellow head. No misses. Try it you will like it.
From: Beau: NE 5/21/16
Comments: Incredibly versatile & effective. Great consistency between each bait. To my surprise it does not take in water as easy as the first glance would suggest. Most importantly, it gets choked without hesitation.
From: Drew: Australia 5/13/16
Comments: I've jumped between multiple frogs but this one consistently gets a blow up & for whatever reason, it has a great hookup ratio as well. It does not tear/sink even after 20+ bass, good price, attracts bass even under windy condition. what else can you ask for? I just wish Teckel makes a popper frog. This frog is so good that I can't find a reason to pick up the Whacker Frog.
From: Toshiya H: Schaumburg, IL 8/27/15
Comments: These frogs work great on the water. Never had to squeeze water out of any of them.
From: T-Funk: DC
Comments: Don't be fooled by the awesome colors and presentation! These sink in about 3 seconds! Both of them I got sank! That sucks cause I was really pumped to use it!

By 1st Sgt. Richard N. BrinkerhoffU.S. Army Retired Bicknell
On this day, that has been set aside to honor our Veterans who have died, I feel that Memorial Day has become nothing more than a three-day weekend.
For decades, Memorial Day was a day in our Nation when stores closed and communities gathered together for a day of parades and other celebrations with a patriotic theme. Memorial Day meant ceremonies at cemeteries around the country, speeches honoring those who served their country, the laying of wreaths and playing Taps...not off to the mall, riding dirt bikes out in the sand or laying around watching TV. Sadly, many Americans have lost the connection with their history. All too many Americans today view military service as an abstraction, as images seen on TV and in the movies. For a growing percentage of American people, Memorial Day has come to mean simply a three day weekend or a major shopping day. Families might still gather for picnics, but for many of them, the patriotic core-the spirit of remembrance-is absent.
We can all make a difference with our individual acts. When we find a grave that has no flowers, leave one and say a prayer for the family of that person, who for some reason could not bring their soldier or family member flowers. It is important that those of us who understand the importance of our history, who understand the importance of our Army, who understand the importance of the values of our Army-that we act to help reconnect the American people to the American soldier.
Listen to the words by Charles M. Province. It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag. And, to add that it is the soldier who allows the protester to burn the flag, to call him all kinds of names, even though his protest is giving his enemy aid and the will to fight and to kill him. I give thanks to military personnel and Veterans for giving me the right to say "I am American" and giving me these rights and privileges. I may think as I please; I may speak or write as I please, so long as I do not interfere with the rights of others; I have the right to vote. By my vote, I choose the public officers who are really my servants.

Today we're going to deal with picnics and summertime dishes. Our recipe will be for Hummus, a widely popular dip originating in the Middle Eastern countries. Although the ingredients for hummus have existed for centuries some believe that the first evidence of this dish came about in the 18th century, not all that long ago.
The foundation of hummus is puréed chickpeas. Different recipes call for varied amounts of several different ingredients, but the basics are puréed chickpeas, lemon juice and garlic. This recipe calls for fresh garlic, but remember you could use roasted garlic instead. If you choose to use roasted garlic, use twice as many cloves as you would fresh garlic. The reason being the flavor of the roasted garlic is far more mild than the fresh.
Hummus is high in several important nutrients and is a good source of protein and dietary fiber. Hummus is generally served with toasted wedges of pita bread. If you use chopped veggies you can even improve the nutritional value of this wonderful dish.
Serves 6
1 cup dried chickpeas, (garbanzo beans)
4 cups water
1/4 cup Tahini, (ground roasted sesame seeds)
2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
salt to taste
pinch of cayenne pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 Tbl chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Place the chickpeas in a bowl with water enough to cover generously. Refrigerate overnight
Drain the chickpeas, reserving at least one cup of liquid, and rinse well under running water place in a 2 quart sauce pan, add the 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until very soft, about one hour or a little longer.
Drain the chickpeas reserving any liquid and transfer to a food processor. Pulse to purée. Add the Tahini, garlic and lemon juice, continue to purée. Add just enough of the reserved liquid to achieve a spreadable consistency. Season with salt to taste and a pinch of cayenne.
If serving immediately, spread the purée onto a shallow plate and smooth the top with a spoon. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley. Or you can transfer the purée to a bowl, cover and keep at room temperature for up to three hours or in the refrigerator for up to two days. Bring back to room temperature before serving and adding the garnish. The mixture may have thickened upon standing, you may thin it out with a little water or some of the reserved cooking liquid.

By Brendan Conway
How did gold's price manage five straight weeks of gains? Some would point to hints that inflation is finally creeping into prices. Or they could point to continued dovishness at the Federal Reserve.
It all matters. Just don't forget about the return of old-fashioned speculators and their ability to drive up prices (or, later, sink them).
There was a 20% increase in speculative gold positions in the futures and options markets during the week ending July 1, the latest Commodity Futures Trading Commission data shows. Commerzbank's commodity strategists write this morning that the trend is similar for silver:
Net long positions in silver were stepped up by 48% to 36,200 contracts – three weeks ago positioning here was still net short. In the case of both gold and silver, this was due to a simultaneous increase in long positions and the continued covering of short positions. That said, this puts the latest rise in the prices of both precious metals on a shaking footing, and correction potential has built up. If there should be further profit-taking on the part of short-term-oriented financial investors, we would doubtless see declining prices. Platinum and palladium also saw their net long positions increased: at 40,000, platinum contracts have nearly reached their record level of 16 months ago.
Checking in on the gold sector's ETFs Monday midsession, SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) are down by 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively.

Memphis, Tenn.
Memphis, the largest city in Tennessee and the seat of Shelby County, is located in the southwest corner of the state, on the Mississippi River near the borders of Arkansas and Mississippi.
The first settlers of Memphis were the Chickasaw Indians, who had a village named Chisca there on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. Hernando de Soto, in 1541, is said to have had his first glimpse of the Mississippi from the site of Memphis; in the next century, Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette stopped there to trade with the Indians. The French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, tried to claim the region for France in 1682 and built Fort Prudhomme on the site.
The area was ceded to the United States by the Chickasaw Indians in 1818. Memphis was officially established in 1819 by three enterprising businessmen from Nashville, James Winchester, John Overton, and future president Andrew Jackson. Jackson named it after the ancient Egyptian city because of its site on the Nile-like Mississippi River. Memphis was incorporated as a city in 1826 and became an important Mississippi River port.
During the Civil War, Memphis was a Confederate military center. In 1862, federal forces won a gunboat battle on the river at Memphis, and General Sherman was able to take the city. After the war, Memphis's population was devastated by several yellow-fever epidemics during the 1870s. As a result, the city fell into decline and went bankrupt, losing its charter in 1879. However, owing to its superior location, the city was able to recover economically, and a new city charter was granted in 1893.
Memphis is known as "America's Distribution Center," serving the northeast, southeast, and southwest regions of the country. The city has one of the country's largest inland ports and is the national headquarters for the Fed Ex air-courier company. Health care and related activities such as medical education and biomedical research are Memphis's largest industries, bringing over $5 billion a year to the local economy.
Many of the city's tourist attractions are landmarks associated with the great Memphis music legends, such as Graceland, Elvis Presley's home.

I live in beautiful Vancouver, BC (Canada) and have been sewing for almost 30 years (eek!) My grandmother put my first "real" sewing project in my hands when I was about 8 years old - a counted cross stitch - to ensure my hand sewing was up to par before I was allowed to use a machine. I have recently "retired" and while learning to be a haus frau for my almost vegan hubby and my four-legged Parson Terrier son, I have had a chance to get back to sewing! I hope to be able to share some of my work with you on a fairly regular basis!

This note details the thought process and the methodology behind a jobs-based segmentation and provides numerous examples. It highlights three levels in the architecture of a job: 1) What is the fundamental job or problem the customer is facing? This includes political, functional, emotional, and social dimensions; 2) What are the experiences in purchase and use that, if all provided, would sum up to nailing the job perfectly? (The "hiring criteria"); and 3) What do we need to integrate, and how must we knit those things together, so that we can provide these experiences?

Brent Stettler a veteran of 25 years with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is the Conservation Outreach Manager and Calvin Black a DWR Sports Fish Biologist, both are avid fishermen and live in Price. Black is originally from Utah County. He has worked for the Division of Wildlife for 10 years. He grew up fishing a lot with his father. Brent and Calvin were on Joe's Valley Dam recently to make a survey of ice fishing. They wanted to know the condition of the fish and how plentiful the fish were.
That morning the sky was overcast and cloudy with wisps of fog at lower levels along the sides of the mountains. The temperature was in the low 20s and slowly warming. Periodic light snow was falling. There was two-three inches of snow on the surface of the lake and where holes were drilled with an ice auger the ice was about 14-15 inches thick. Black said that on the western edge of the lake, where the Seely Creek feeds the lake, the ice is thin and dangerous. The main body of the lake is considered very solid at this time. Stettler and Black started out from the boat ramp on the east side of Joe's Valley Dam and walked quite a distance northwest on the lake ice. Black brought to the lake two sleds loaded with equipment, such as an ice auger, a pop-up tent, extra clothing, several types of fishing poles and boxes of fishing lures. He also had a fish finder and an underwater television camera. He pulled the sleds out to where he planned to fish, just to have the equipment close by. The fishermen were hoping to get into a school of splake trout and cutthroat trout. Black said, "We have had in the last few weeks reports that the ice fishing was hot at Joe's Valley Dam for splake trout and cutthroat selected an area for fishing that was possibly over an underwater ridge. This was based on observing a rocky ridge that appeared to be coming down from the lake shore and into the lake water. Black said, "Where there is a rock pile or underwater ridge fish are known to hang around those areas."
Black quickly drilled about eight ice holes, down to the water, in a narrow zigzag line on an easterly direction above the suspected underwater ridge. This drilling was completed before setting up his fishing gear on the first ice hole.
After the first eight holes were drilled Black inserted his fish finder probe about a foot into the water to observe any fish activity. The first few holes tested didn't show much fish activity, so Black drilled a half dozen more holes closer to shore and moved his gear about 50 yards closer to shore. The depth of the water below the ice at the first holes was about 30 feet. The depth of the water closer to shore was about five feet deep.
The fish finder showed there was some fish activity in this shallower water as determined by observing the fish finder and the under water Markham television camera. After not getting any fish bites at these holes close to shore it was decided to move back out to some of the earlier drilled holes.
At two of these earlier holes there appeared to be quite a bit of fish activity on the fish finder and on the television screen.
Black did most of the ice fishing and caught the most fish. Stettler fished also, but he spent some of his time taking pictures and recording the kinds of fish caught. Chub meat had been obtained at a sporting goods store for bait. That way they knew the chub meat was not from a protected fish. The chub meat was cut into very small pieces before being attached to the hook and lure as bait.
Black remarked he was having a great time being outdoors on this good day doing what he enjoys most. He likes being able to work with and help the cutthroat fish population. He also likes working to manage our sport fish population so that we can all enjoy this sport.
Black also said, "At certain times of the year we will take tissue samples of the fish to test for mercury or other diseases. We also take tissue samples for genetic testing to see if the cutthroat sample is from a pure fish." Black wants the sport fishermen and others to know that it is about mid-winter and his group is the only ones on the ice today and there is good fishing in uncrowded conditions. "Do not put you gear away. Millsite Dam is supposed to have fast action for splake, rainbows and tiger trout. We still have a couple of months of good fishing."
Black stated, "Here on Joe's Valley Dam there has been a new regulation change. They have removed the seasonal closure for 2013. Previous years you could not fish the reservoir from Nov. 1 until the second week in December. That closure was lifted for a group of angle fishermen from Emery County who wanted to fish in the late fall for the new tiger muskies established in this reservoir. With the anglers help that no fishing regulation during that time frame was changed." Black had heard recent reports of people catching fish at Joe's Valley Dam in four feet of water and in 70 feet of water.
The DWR personnel started fishing in the 30 feet deep water and gradually moved towards the shallower water.
Black had a wide variety of jigs, from tiny jigs to larger tube jigs, curly tail jigs and grubs. He had several fishing rods of differing lengths. He said, most individuals like smaller fishing rods. Black likes a longer rod because he fishes for big fish.
Black commented that hard core fishermen tend to get many gadgets that are fun to play with and not really necessary. Ice fishing can be as simple as coming to the lake with a hand ice auger, a pole, tying on a jig and a night crawler. Instead of an ice auger an ice spud or ice chisel could be used to hack a hole though the ice. When the ice is 14-15 inches thick it is easier to make holes in the ice with an ice auger.
Black's theory about catching fish through the ice is to have a gas powered ice auger, be mobile, punch a lot of holes and move until you find the fish. Move closer to shore until you find where they are stacked up. Don't be afraid to punch 20 or 30 holes if you have to and move out and back around the shore.
A silver or gold Cast Master was suggested as a good lure. Stettler said, "The Cast Master lure gets the most fish in this area. The Cast Master works for both ice fishing and lake fishing. Jake's Spin-a-lure and Cast Master are the best lures on the entire mountain."
The splake trout is an aggressive fish so Black fished with a simple white jig or a silver spoon. It is more the action of your jigging motion that will attract the fish. Jigging is the moving of the lure up and down in the water four-six inches rapidly.
Black opened his fishing tackle boxes and set out a display of fishing lures of various sizes for pictures. Some of the lures are scented to attract fish other lures glow in the dark.
On this fishing expedition Black and Stettler caught several splake trout and cuthroat trout. The tiger muskies are kind of dormant at this time of the year but the splake trout are a fun fish to catch. All of the fish caught were released back into the water. His objective was to show how good the fishing could be on Joe's Valley Reservoir. Stettler fished with a lead jig head, a pearl colored imitation minnow and on the hook protruding from the minnow he added a little bit of chub meat. Black had on his line a 3-inch pearl white tube jig and a 1/4 ounce jig head inside the tube jig tipped with chub meat. He was also using a 3-inch orange and brown jigging rapala lure. It is a heavier jig. It jigs horizontally rather than vertically.
Black mentioned there is a mercury advisory on the splake trout from Joe's Valley Dam and you should limit the amount of splake trout you eat per month. The fishing limit for splake trout is three fish under 18 inches and one fish over 18 inches. You can catch as many splake trout as you want but cannot keep more than the limit. The splake trout and the tiger muskies are used to help control the chub population.

Protecting Birds
Since utility poles are often the highest and most prominent point in a landscape, birds perch on the poles to hunt or rest. Unfortunately, doing so can increase risks for both the birds and our electric system. PG&E's Avian Protection Plan seeks to protect migratory, threatened and endangered birds from these risks, while improving safety and reliability for our customers.
For the past 25 years, PG&E has led various bird species conservation initiatives. We are working collaboratively with organizations such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to minimize the dangers that transmission lines and other electrical equipment pose to birds. In 2008, PG&E won Audubon California's first-ever Corporate Achievement Award for significant achievements in protecting California birds and important habitat.
PG&E's Avian Protection Plan
PG&E's plan has set the standard for our industry and is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. Key components of the plan include:
• Employee training and compliance. We educate our employees to ensure we comply with all federal and state bird protection laws.
• Making our poles "bird-safe." Since 2002, we have retrofitted more than 28,000 utility poles. We have proactively targeted over 14,500 utility poles and an additional 13,800 poles in high-risk areas where bird injuries or fatalities have occurred previously.
• Public education and partnerships. We promote the need for migratory bird and habitat conservation in cooperation with federal and state agencies and non-profit organizations.

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
January 13, 2006
CONTACT: Corey Ray
(202) 616-1728
The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) has announced the availability of several technical assistance resources intended to help law enforcement and their communities combat methamphetamine and crimes related to the drug's use, production, and distribution.
Tools for Combating Meth contains practical guidebooks that address issues such as clandestine drug labs, drug dealing in open-air markets and privately owned apartment complexes and identity theft. Other publications included in the toolkit address the environmental dangers involved in meth production and provide best practices for combating meth based on previous COPS funded meth programs.
Tools for Combating Meth is a vital resource for law enforcement and communities experiencing the damaging effects methamphetamine has on our citizens, our children and our environment," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "Along with this toolkit, COPS has invested more than $385 million nationwide to combat the spread of methamphetamine, plus hosted three annual methamphetamine conferences that convened the nation's leading methamphetamine enforcement experts with practitioners from every corner of the country. This is a problem that requires attention on all levels and we're happy to do our part in helping law enforcement protect their neighborhoods."
Tools for Combating Meth is available free of charge, and can be downloaded from COPS Online or can be ordered by contacting COPS Response Center at 800-421-6770 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The COPS Office is a federal agency responsible for advancing community policing nationwide and supporting state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies. Since 1995, COPS has invested $11.9 billion to advance community policing, including nearly 36,000 grants awarded to more than 13,000 state and local law enforcement agencies to hire more than 118,000 officers and provide numerous technical assistance resources.
