Comments: Biggest 5 fish limit I've ever caught in Kansas came on the gizzard shad color king shad, 30lbs 2ozs. They are fragile so don't cast them onto rocks or bounce them off docks. For $6 though they're well worth it.
From: Clayton: Gardner, KS
Comments: This Lure is trash! I bought it about 7-8 months ago and never used it. I just took it out of my tackle box, I caught a 2 lber on it. After the fight I reviewed the lure and it was fine. I casted it into a school of shad that was getting torn up by some bass and I noticed it wasn't swimming right. I reeled it in and the bill was broken off. Goodbye $20.00.
From: Michael: Ohio
Comments: Figures I'm the sucker that spent the full $20 on it. For 8 dollars yes buy it. Great action and I have caught some monsters, and surprisingly enough the hooks are great quality I didn't have to switch them out like you do with some hardbaits. It is very breakable though the joint just seems "to" plastic. But grab them while they are on sale. Don't try and throw these on 10lb mono either this is a bigger bait so treat it like one.
From: Jack: CT
Comments: This is a great bait. Swims well. Works best at a fast retrieve. People say it breaks easily but I have caught 20+ solid fish on mine and all It has is scratches. Definently worth the price.
From: John: CA
Comments: I bought one and it broke on the 4th cast with out hittin anything!
From: Mike: Mckinney, TX
Comments: I caught a few fish on them but make sure you dont cast towards the bank and hit a rock or bounce them off trees because they are super easy to break. I hit it once against the bank once and it broke at the joint had it happen with two different baits the same day.
From: Cameron: Stillwater, OK
Comments: kvd make this a two or three joint in future, that would be awesome, similar but not same as higher expensive baits 3:16 but less price and kvd model. That would be killer new strike king bait.
From: Alex
Comments: Maybe a toy for my pet Peacock bass lol.j/k, looks like a nice lure but my fish says don't buy it for fishing his species lol. (yes i do have a big Peacock bass in a giant tank and he's a great fish)
From: Pat: San Jose, CA
Comments: Caught a 5 lb fish off this bait in texas. I hope KVD upgrades it with stronger action. Good fishing folks!
From: Alex: Kansas
Comments: They catch fish but are made in a hurry . Don't hit anything hard with em or they'll blow up. If they do send them back to strike king they will replace it no questions.
From: Sam: South East, PA
Comments: These are strong and swim great!
From: Sonny: East Wareham, MA
Comments: Too small & light. Maybe it can be cast on 10 lb. test. I don't like it, especially for $21. I got mine at a retail store (same price). Definitely not a "big-fish bait" down here.
From: Ron: Orange Park, FL
Comments: Good bait. Stable at fast retrieve speeds. Good hooks. Older models had weak joints that tended to break. New King Shads have a metal pin in the joint to strengthen it. New ones are very durable.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments:Same thing happened with me. otherwise great bait for monster bass.
From:Shane: Hinsdale, MA
Comments:Good lure, catches big fish. Only problem is I have had one break at the joint..... maybe a defective lure, only had that problem on one.
From:Joe: California

Key facts
- Human echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus.
- The 2 most important forms of the disease in humans are cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) and alveolar echinococcosis.
- Humans are infected through ingestion of parasite eggs in contaminated food, water or soil, or through direct contact with animal hosts.
- Echinococcosis is often expensive and complicated to treat, and may require extensive surgery and/or prolonged drug therapy.
- Prevention programmes involve deworming of dogs, improved food inspection and slaughterhouse hygiene, and public education campaigns. Vaccination of lambs is currently being evaluated as an additional intervention.
- More than 1 million people are affected with echinococcosis at any one time.
- WHO is working towards the validation of effective cystic echinococcosis control strategies by 2020.
Human echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease (a disease that is transmitted to humans from animals) that is caused by parasites, namely tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. Echinococcosis occurs in 4 forms:
- cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease or hydatidosis, caused by infection with Echinococcus granulosus;
- alveolar echinococcosis, caused by infection with E. multilocularis;
- polycystic echinococcosis, caused by infection with E. vogeli; and
- unicystic echinococcosis, caused by infection with E. oligarthrus.
The two most important forms, which are of medical and public health relevance in humans, are cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis.
A number of herbivorous and omnivorous animals act as intermediate hosts of echinococcus. This means they get infected by ingesting the parasite eggs in the contaminated ground and develop parasitic larval stages in their viscera.
Carnivores are definitive hosts for the parasite, and are infected through the consumption of viscera of intermediate hosts that harbour the parasite and also through scavenging infected carcases.
Humans are so-called accidental intermediate hosts, acquiring the infection in the same way described above for the intermediate hosts, but are not able to transmit the disease.
Cystic echinococcosis is principally maintained in a dog–sheep–dog cycle, yet several other domestic animals may be involved, including goats, swine, horses, cattle, camels and yaks.
Alveolar echinococcosis usually occurs in a wildlife cycle between foxes, other carnivores and small mammals (mostly rodents). Domesticated dogs and cats can also be infected.
Signs and symptoms
Cystic echinococcosis / hydatid disease
Human infection with E. granulosus leads to the development of one or more hydatids located mainly in the liver and lungs, and less frequently in the bones, kidneys, spleen, muscles, central nervous system and eyes.
The asymptomatic incubation period of the disease can last many years until hydatid cysts grow to an extent that triggers clinical signs. Non-specific signs include anorexia, weight loss and weakness. Other signs depend on the location of the hydatid(s) and the pressure exerted on the surrounding tissues.
Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting are commonly seen when hydatids occur in the liver. If the lung is affected, clinical signs include chronic cough, chest pain and shortness of breath.
Alveolar echinococcosis
Alveolar echinococcosis is characterized by an asymptomatic incubation period of 5–15 years and the slow development of a primary tumour-like lesion which is usually located in the liver. Clinical signs include weight loss, abdominal pain, general malaise and signs of hepatic failure.
Larval metastases may spread either to organs adjacent to the liver (for example, the spleen) or distant locations (such as the lungs, or the brain) following dissemination of the parasite via the blood and lymphatic system. If left untreated, alveolar echinococcosis is progressive and fatal.
Cystic echinococcosis is globally distributed and found in every continent except Antarctica. Alveolar echinococcosis is confined to the northern hemisphere, in particular to regions of China, the Russian Federation and countries in continental Europe and North America.
In endemic regions, human incidence rates for cystic echinococcosis can reach greater than 50 per 100 000 person-years, and prevalence levels as high as 5%–10% may occur in parts of Argentina, Peru, East Africa, Central Asia and China. In livestock, the prevalence of cystic echinococcosis found in slaughterhouses in hyperendemic areas of South America varies from 20%–95% of slaughtered animals.
The highest prevalence is found in rural areas where older animals are slaughtered. Depending on the infected species involved, livestock production losses attributable to cystic echinococcosis stem from liver condemnation, reduction in carcass weight, decrease in hide value, decrease of milk production, and reduced fertility.
Ultrasonography imaging is the technique of choice for the diagnosis of both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis. This technique is usually complemented or validated by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Cysts can be incidentally discovered by radiography. Specific antibodies are detected by different serological tests and can support diagnosis. Biopsies and ultrasound-guided punctures may also be performed for differential diagnosis of cysts from tumours and abscesses.
Both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis are often expensive and complicated to treat, sometimes requiring extensive surgery and/or prolonged drug therapy. There are 4 options for the treatment of cystic echinococcosis:
- percutaneous treatment of the hydatid cysts with the PAIR (Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Re-aspiration) technique
- surgery
- anti-infective drug treatment
- "watch and wait".
The choice must primarily be based on the ultrasound images of the cyst, following a stage-specific approach, and also on the medical infrastructure and human resources available.
For alveolar echinococcosis, early diagnosis and radical (tumour-like) surgery followed by anti-infective prophylaxis with albendazole remain the key elements. If the lesion is confined, radical surgery can be curative. Unfortunately in many patients the disease is diagnosed at an advanced stage. As a result, if palliative surgery is carried out without complete and effective anti-infective treatment, frequently relapses will occur.
Health and economic burden
Both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis represent a substantial disease burden. Worldwide, there may be in excess of 1 million people living with these diseases at any one time. Many of these people will be experiencing severe clinical syndromes which are life-threatening if left untreated. Even with treatment, people often face reduced quality of life.
For cystic echinococcosis, there is an average of 2.2% post-operative death rate for surgical patients and about 6.5% of cases relapse after intervention, thereby requires prolonged recovery time. Present estimates suggest that cystic echinococcosis results in the loss of between 1 million to 3 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) 1 annually.
Annual costs associated with cystic echinococcosis are estimated to be US$ 3 billion for treating cases and losses to the livestock industry.
Alveolar echinococcosis results in the loss of about 650 000 DALYs annually, with most of the disease burden concentrated in western China.
Surveillance, prevention and control
Cystic echinococcosis / hydatid disease
Surveillance for cystic echinococcosis in animals is difficult because the infection is asymptomatic in livestock and dogs. Surveillance is also not recognized or prioritized by communities or local veterinary services.
Cystic echinococcosis is a preventable disease as it involves domestic animal species as definitive and intermediate hosts. Periodic deworming of dogs, improved hygiene in the slaughtering of livestock (including the proper destruction of infected offal), and public education campaigns have been found to lower and, in high-income countries, prevent transmission and alleviate the burden of human disease.
Vaccination of sheep with an E. granulosus recombinant antigen (EG95) offers encouraging prospects for prevention and control. Small-scale EG95 vaccine trials in sheep indicate high efficacy and safety with vaccinated lambs not becoming infected with E. granulosus.
A programme combining vaccination of lambs, deworming of dogs and culling of older sheep could lead to elimination of cystic echinococcosis disease in humans in less than 10 years.
Alveolar echinococcosis
Prevention and control of alveolar echinococcosisis more complex as the cycle involves wild animal species as both definitive and intermediate hosts. Regular deworming of domestic carnivores that have access to wild rodents should help to reduce the risk of infection in humans.
Deworming of wild and stray definitive hosts with anthelminthic baits resulted in significant reductions in alveolar echinococcosis prevalence in European and Japanese studies. Culling of foxes and unowned free-roaming dogs appears to be highly inefficient. The sustainability and cost–benefit effectiveness of such campaigns are controversial.
WHO Response
WHO assists countries to develop and implement pilot projects leading to the validation of effective cystic echinococcosis control strategies by 2020. Working with the veterinary and food safety authorities as well as with other sectors is essential to attain the long-term outcomes of reducing the burden of disease and safeguarding the food value chain.
WHO supports capacity building through training courses targeting medical and paramedical personnel, focused on the clinical management of cystic echinococcosis in rural areas of affected countries.
Morocco finished a project aimed at decentralizing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and promoting the PAIR (puncture, aspiration, injection, re-aspiration) strategy in rural and hyperendemic areas. As a complement, the emphasis needs to be put on prevention in the animal and food safety sector.
Mongolia has recognized the importance of echinococcosis as a public-health problem and, at the request of the Ministry of Health, WHO in 2013 conducted an initial situation analysis. The analysis focused on implementing early diagnosis and building a basic surveillance system covering humans and animals to understand the actual burden of the disease. No significant investment for echinococcosis has been made, and therefore programmatic progress has stalled.
China is integrating echinococcosis prevention, control and treatment in their economic and development plans to raise attention to the vast problem in the country, and especially in the Central Asian Republics.
Early detection of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis infections, especially in low-resource settings, is still needed in addition to the evaluation of clinical treatment options. Further assessment and potential commercialization of a vaccine for E. granulosus recombinant oncosphere antigen (EG95) is on trial in sheep to impede E. granulosus infection of lambs. This could supplement control measures such as the treatment of dogs and culling of older sheep.
1 One DALY (disability-adjusted life year) can be thought of as one lost year of "healthy" life. The sum of these DALYs across the population, or the burden of disease, can be thought of as a measurement of the gap between current health status and an ideal health situation where the entire population lives to an advanced age free of disease and disability.

Click here to view new Rate Options available in 2CFR Part 200
This information is intended to facilitate the completion and submission of your indirect cost rate proposal or Cost Allocation Plan. We have designed a series of checklists, forms, samples, and templates to assist you in meeting the ICP or CAP documentation requirements.
Additional support is provided with links to cost principle guidance and frequently asked questions.
Please be sure to include the completeness checklist and required certifications with your ICP or CAP.
1. Which federal agency is the cognizant agency for my organization?
The cognizant agency for negotiating indirect cost rates shall be the federal agency that provides the majority of the federal funding (per OMB guidance).
Interior Business Center's Indirect Cost Services is the federal cognizant agency designated by OMB to negotiate indirect cost rates for:
On January 6, 1986 Federal Register, OMB published a list of cognizant agency assignments for state and local governments. To date, this list has not been revised.
2. What is the difference between an indirect cost rate and a cost allocation plan?
An indirect cost rate is a device for determining, in a reasonable manner, the proportion of indirect costs each program should bear. It is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the indirect costs to a direct cost base. Indirect costs are grouped into a common pool and then distributed to individual federal awards by the use of the indirect cost rate. Once negotiated by Indirect Cost Services, an indirect cost rate will be accepted and used by all federal agencies unless prohibited by statute - so that an organization can use the negotiated rate for new programs/grants from all federal agencies.
In contrast, a cost allocation plan (CAP) is a document that explains an organization's methodology in identifying, accumulating, and allocating allowable costs to its all departments and agencies. Some federal agencies still require an approved indirect cost rate even though a CAP has already been approved.
3. Is there a standard format that we should follow to compile the indirect cost proposal or cost allocation plan?
Indirect Cost Services has created sample proposal formats, checklists, and templates to assist you in completing the ICP and CAP proposals. Please select the appropriate sample proposal for your type of organization (i.e., Insular Areas, State, and Local Governments). Although it is not required that you follow our ICP or CAP format, we encourage you to follow as much as possible because doing so will expedite our review process since our format will contain the information we needed to process the proposals. Even if you do not follow our format, please ensure all the items on our checklist is provided.
4. What is the 3% limitation applicable to SWCAP/CSCAP?
For state entities that receive federal aid apportionment through the Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service's Wildlife Restoration Act (PR) and Sport Fish Restoration Act (DJ), there are restrictions placed on the expenditure of indirect costs in relation to these funds.
Specifically, 50 CFR Ch.1, Part 80.15 (d) requires that "administrative costs in the form of overhead or indirect costs for state central services [SWCAP/CSCAP] outside of the state fish and wildlife agency must be in accord with an approved cost allocation plan and shall not exceed three percentum (3%) of the annual apportionment."
Indirect Cost Services has created a sample 3% limitation verification schedule and working template for your convenience. If your entity receives PR/DJ funding, Indirect Cost Services requires a submission of the 3% limitation verification schedule and related support.
5. I've already included a copy of the SWCAP schedule in the proposal, why do I need to provide the entire signed SWCAP agreement?
We require the entire SWCAP agreement to ensure the SWCAP amount has been reviewed and approved by the Department of Health and Human Services. 2 CFR 225 Appendix E, Section D.1.d states that SWCAP must be based on the latest federally-approved plan.
6. The SWCAP/CSCAP for the year that we are finalizing has not been negotiated, what should we do?
Sometimes the proposed central service cost allocation plan for the period being negotiated has not been approved by the time the indirect cost rate proposal is submitted. In that case, the indirect cost proposal may be prepared with an amount for central services that is based on the latest federally approved central service cost allocation plan (See 2 CFR 225, Appendix E, Section D.1.d).
The difference between these central service amounts - and the amounts ultimately approved - will be compensated for by an adjustment in a subsequent period. Please contact Indirect Cost Services for an example demonstrating how the adjustment will be made.
7. Our state issued audited financial statements are comprehensive and extremely high leveled, I am not able to extract any information from the audit to support the figures I used in the proposal. What should I do?
In lieu of the comprehensive audited financial statements, you can submit a copy of the general ledger instead. However, we do not need the entire run, we just need the last page from the accounting system showing the total expenditure. The negotiator may request for more detail reports from the accounting system if deemed necessary during the desk review.
8. Why do I need to provide a copy of the SEFA schedule (Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) every year?
We need the SEFA schedule to verify the majority federal funder to ensure we are the federal agency to negotiate your organization's indirect cost rate. If there has been a permanent shift in federal funding that DOI will no longer be your majority federal funder, you need to inform our office as quickly as possible so we can refer you to the correct federal agency to negotiate your indirect cost rate.

Excess will assemble the available expertise within SETAC on the quantification of ecosystem-level effects of extreme stress events and subsequent recovery. The scale of the exposure and the high level of biological organization at which effects will be studied (populations, communities, ecosystems) will be the unique niche of the extreme stress AG. Apart from being a platform for scientific discussion and collaboration, the new SETAC AG will also serve as a communication channel to improve the exchange between (a) stakeholder needs and expectations, and (b) the capacities and goals of quantitative ecotoxicological approaches that encompass higher levels of biological organisation. Such two-way interactions will increase the economical and societal relevance of these tools and the ecological relevance of management goals.
No restrictions will be put on the approaches that are used to study these topics. In particular, we would be interested in assembling expertise in statistical and mechanistic modelling, but also in biological and chemical monitoring techniques that describe population and ecosystem status and chemical exposure. In addition, scientists are welcomed with an expertise in experimental approaches that can test hypotheses generated through models and/or statistical analyses of field data.
The types of stressors that will be considered include chemicals but also 'natural' stressors such as flooding events, drought or storms. The motivation to include both types of stressors is considered useful because it would allow examining if natural stressors can be considered as a model for chemical stressors and vice versa. If relationships exist between effects of natural stressors and effects of chemical stressors, data on ecosystem responses to such natural stressors can be used to predict responses to chemical stressors, as such increasing the amount of data on which ecosystem management can be based.
Considered endpoints on which effects are to be discussed by the AG will be proxies of ecosystem structure (e.g. biodiversity) and functioning (e.g. biomass production, elemental cycling).
The composition of the AG is intended to adhere to the basic SETAC guidelines, i.e. comparable representations from academia, industry, government and non-profit organizations. The AG is open to any interested parties and both scientists and students are encouraged to join. SETAC membership is not required but may facilitate access to SETAC's scientific activities and publications. The organisation of the AG is done by a steering committee of 10 to 15 people. The SC votes the chair(s) of the AG. It is preferred that members of the SC do not serve more than 4 years. When a person leaves the SC, all members present at the next AG meeting will nominate a substitute, preferably in such a way that the balance of the SC is respected.

PRICE - Josalyn "Jawsy" Clare Ryan, age 23, returned home to her Father in Heaven and many loved ones on Oct. 24, 2005.
She was born Aug. 1, 1982 in Payson, to Jerry Dee Ryan Jr. and Annette Clare (Taylor) Ryan.
Graduated from Carbon High School in May 2000 and was the first student there to "letter" in music. She attended CEU and was working as a prep cook/bakers helper there.
Josalyn loved making others happy and her warm smile brought sunshine to all those she came in contact with. Josalyn was very unselfish and would freely give to others.

She enjoyed singing, photography, crocheting, writing poetry, fishing, dancing, cats and children. But most of all, Josalyn loved music and was able to play any instrument by ear. She was practicing to sing for the annual Handel's Messiah in which she participated the last four years.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
One word description of your day of fishing with the boys.
Mike M.
Hi Mike,
Great report, certainly a day and a fish Matt will remember for quite awhile. Glad to hear you and the boys found some fish, even if the boys out fished you.
Way to go Dad.
Tight lines,
Another good reason to take kids fishing
They can protect your valuable flies from bluefish terrorists!
I took my two older boys, ages 12 and 9, for a pre-clave scout of the South County waters. We started pre-dawn at the west wall where conditions look great. Well, the conditions only looked great because we couldn't see all the weed and mung in the dark. After it got light we realized conditons could be better but we tried anyway. Not long after first light I had the long awaited and highly desired first hit of the day. A few seconds head shaking then pop! Bad knot? Nope, frayed tippet. Damn, bluefish!
Luckily I had brought along a couple of spinning rods for the boys to use. Soon the boys were teaching those pesky cocktails not to mess with their Dad! The "biggest" [maybe 4 lbs], caught by 9 year old Matt, paid the ultimate price for its transgressions and is currently marinating for tomorrow's lunch. It was worth the 2 hour drive just to see the look on Matt's face as he proudly carried that fish down the jetty past all the grownup fishermen who all made a point to admire his catch. If any of you guys were among that crowd, thanks! You made a little boy feel real big!
Later we went to Weekapoug where the boys got to see their Dad humbled by flying bright green footballs. Seems everybody hooked up at least once, a few more than once. Some landed their fish, many did not. But Dad "...lost his quicker than anybody!" Dad's response? "Pay attention children, this is what we call a WINDKNOT". A good parent can make a valuable lesson out of any experience!
Later the cocktail blues showed up to steal another fly from me so I turned the boys loose on them with the spinning rods again. And it worked! I didn't lose another fly! Of course I didn't have a chance to cast, what with all the fish unhooking and line untangling, but it was worth the quart of blood I lost from my shredded finger [hook, not teeth]. I've found I enjoy the fish the boys catch as much, or more than if I caught them myself.
We topped off the day with some great body surfing [that water is still warm!] and rode home with big happy smiles on our dirty sunburned faces. I don't know about the boys, but I can't wait to do it again!

If you're graduating from university or leaving school for the workforce this month, you're probably breathing a sigh of relief. No more assignments, no more studying, no more uniforms. Right?
Well, sort of. Being in the workforce comes with a uniform of its own.
And getting it right can be key to nailing a job. If you're getting ready for a job interview, follow our top tips for outfit success.
Dress for the job you want. It's a bit of a cliche but it helps to dress as if you're being interviewed for the top job, not for the entry-level role that you're probably looking at.
Take it a step up. You need to dress appropriately for the industry you're hoping to enter because it's important that the interviewer thinks you'll be a good fit within the firm. But to make an impression, try to dress slightly better than the employees of the business you're interviewing with. Check out what they wear to work and find something just slightly more formal.
Show your personality ... but not too much. Women in particular can get away with adding a bit of colour to their outfits or accessorising.
Make yourself memorable to your interviewer by showing them a bit of who you are. But keep it simple - Marie Claire described the best approach as "colouring within the lines".
It's work, not a nightclub. As Kaye Harding, president of the Northland chapter of Dress for Success says, if you can see up it, down it or through it, don't wear it to work.
Invest in some classic pieces that will tide you through many situations. A good suit in solid, neutral colours can be dressed up or down depending on the season and the event. Spending a bit more money on classic pieces is a good idea because they will last many seasons. A basic suit can be dressed up with an accessory such as a scarf.
Get a manicure. Untidy hands can be surprisingly distracting.
But keep your makeup to a minimum and avoid strong perfume or cologne.
Wear something you are comfortable in, so you can focus on the interview rather than whether your outfit looks right.

America's 25 Most Ozone-Polluted Metropolitan Areas, 2007
Ozone acts as a powerful respiratory irritant at the levels frequently found in most of the nation's urban areas during summer months. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain when inhaling deeply, wheezing, and coughing. A study of a sample of longtime residents of Los Angeles, which has the highest and most frequent ozone problem in the nation, found that the group had a higher-than-expected loss of lung function over time.

Brookfield Central clobbered West Allis Hale, 73-34, on Feb. 14 and finished tied for first with Sussex Hamilton, which needed two overtimes to beat Marquette, 59-55.
Central's defense held the Huskies under 10 points each quarter (eight, eight, nine and nine), leading 21-8 after one quarter, 36-16 at intermission and 59-25 going into the final quarter.
The Lancers struggled from the free throw line, hitting only 16-for-28 for a .571 percentage.
Riley LaChance had 23 points, including 4-for-7 from the free throw line, and Brad Newman added 10. Peter Mattiacci had seven points as 11 Lancers got on the scoreboard.
The third-seeded Lancers (19-3) will now host sixth-seeded Milwaukee Riverside (7-13) at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22.
The Tigers are led by Ra Vonn Posey, James Bateman, Nick Cobbins and Elijah Briggs, who all average between 9.2 and 9.7 points per game.
Central has won nine games in a row going back to Jan. 15.
A win over Riverside, would set up the Lancers to meet the winner of the second-seeded Milwaukee King/seventh-seeded Brookfield East game Feb. 23.
The Spartans dropped a non-conference game at Whitefish Bay, 50-42, as costly turnovers in the fourth quarter cost them what might have been an impressive win.
The Blue Dukes are 13-8, in second place in the respected North Shore Conference (9-4).
The Spartans were down by nine at halftime, but rallied to go up by five going into the fourth.
"A couple costly turnovers in the fourth quarter did us in," coach Mike Goodman said.
Angela Pichler led the Spartans with 13 points while Emily Utic and Mariah Miller had eight each and Miller also pulled down 15 rebounds.
The Spartans are now 7-14 overall and 6-7 in the Greater Metro Conference, good enough for fifth place. They close out the regular season at Menomonee Falls (12-9, 7-6) at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21.The Spartans will face a familiar team on March 1 when they travel to Brookfield Central to take on the Lancers for the third time. East will be hoping maybe the third time's the charm.
The Lancers beat them twice, 38-18, on Dec. 18 at Central and 64-42 at East on Feb. 5.
"Being a crosstown rival makes it more exciting," Goodman said. "I knew we would get the five. I had a feeling about it. There were some strong teams in this bracket."
So for Goodman and the Spartans it's back to the drawing board.
"We have two weeks to prepare, so we have to dig in our repertoire and try to find something that maybe will surprise them."
Goodman feels the pressure is on the Lancers.
"It's easier on our side," he said. "They're expected to win. All the pressure is on them."
The Brookfield Barracudas finished 13th as a team but didn't earn any medals at Saturday's WIAA State Boys Swimming & Diving meet at the University of Wisconsin's Natatorium.
The WIAA awards medals only to the top six finishes and the Barracudas' top finish was seventh place twice.
Junior Brian Borden took seventh in the 200-yard individual medley in 1 minute, 56.77 seconds as did the 200 freestyle relay (1:27.95) behind Borden, senior Joe Bauer, junior Dean Zheng and senior Mitch Douglas.
The 400 free relay finished ninth (3:15.25) behind Douglas, Zheng, Bauer and Borden.
The four other individual performances and their finishes follow.
Borden finished 11th in the 100 breast stroke (1:00.07) and Douglas was 13th in the 50 free (21.94).
Bauer placed 17th in the 100 free (48.91) and 18th in the 50 free (22.33).
"Saturday's meet played out like a Shakespearean performance filled with elation, anger and, of course, tears," Barracudas coach William Twitchell said. "Brian Borden's IM was his best time by over two seconds, but he wanted more.
"Joe and Mitch in the 50, with their times from sectionals, put Brookfield East back on the map as a swimming powerhouse by having two of the top eight times in state. Our relays were in a position to put an exclamation point on our season."
But the Barracudas' inexperience did them in.
"Unfortunately, in a sport dominated by individuals who have practiced 300 to 500 times per year for over a decade, we had a team composed of guys who have had fewer days in the pool than hairs on Friar Tuck's head."
Brookfield scored 64 team points. Madison Memorial scored 316 points to easily win the state title, well ahead of second place Madison West (206).

Good for running!!
"These shoes run really long. On sneakers I'm always a 7.5, but with these I had to return them for a 7 and still have some room, but liked the fit since I don't like it too tight on running shoes. When I first tried them on, just the walking felt kind of weird, but after running for 30 minutes everything felt just right and really comfy. Great purchase!! Totally recommended and let's not forget that they are incredibly cute!!"

Hi I just begun learning biblical Greek and was wondering how is the word γεγονεν formed?
From what I saw online it's a third person singular perfect active indicative verb.
From what I learnt on how to form a perfect active indicative is
Reduplication + Perfect Active Tense stem + Tense formative([κ]α) + Primary Active Personal Ending
If I tried to form it the way I know it it would look a little like γεγεναι but it's totally wrong. Am I learning wrongly?

The Firm as Cartel Manager
Herbert J. Hovenkamp
University of Iowa - College of Law
Christopher R. Leslie
University of California, Irvine School of Law
May 12, 2011
Vanderbilt Law Review, Vol. 64, No. 3, p. 813, 2011
Antitrust law is the primary legal obstacle to price fixing, which is condemned by Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Firms that engage in price fixing may try to reduce their probability of antitrust liability in a number of ways. First, members of a price-fixing conspiracy go to great lengths to conceal their illegal activities from antitrust enforcers. Second, because Section 1 condemns only concerted action, firms may structure their relationship to appear to be the action of a single entity that is beyond the reach of Section One.
In its American Needle decision the Supreme Court held that the NFL is a collaboration of its individual teams rather than a single entity when the issue was a single exclusive license covering the individual IP rights of all of the member teams. The American Needle decision could conceivably rest on alternative rationales for its separate entity conclusion. These are (1) the teams are separately owned profit centers capable of competing with each other; (2) the particular agreement challenged in this case restrained the ability of the teams to market their IP rights individually; (3) the teams themselves acting together actively made decisions about how their IP rights should be packaged and sold. The Supreme Court's decision depends on propositions (1) and (2) but not proposition (3). Indeed, the question of the individual teams day to day control of sales was not all that important. Rather, the relevant question was who is controlled.
Much of the argument favoring single entity status for an organization such as the National Football League (NFL) confuses the entity question, which is essentially structural, with the cooperation question, which is functional or behavioral. Many markets require firms to cooperate in the delivery of their product, in some cases a great deal, and the need for cooperation or even for interconnectivity requires application of antitrust's rule of reason.
This paper examines cartel organization, concluding that the Supreme Court was correct to identify the issue as who is controlled, rather than who is in control. Too much individual member control undermines rather than furthers price fixing agreements. Many successful cartels function by taking control away from the individual members and giving it to a single organization. A business organization such as a corporation becomes an ideal vehicle for cartel, because such organizations are charged with maximizing the value of the firm, and maximization occurs when members reduce output to the cartel level. We apply this reasoning to a number of joint ventures including the Supreme Court's Sealy, Topco, and Dagher cases, and to the recently created MasterCard and Visa IPOs.

Gold's price has taken exchange-traded fund redemptions hard this year, but bulls have a hope, and its name is "emerging markets." Many gold-bullish analysts are looking to consumers of jewelry and other non-investment uses in China and India as this market's salve.
It's not a sure bet, at least not all the time. Gold's price is down 1.1% this morning, falling back under $1,400, thanks in part to new restrictions on gold imports by India's central bank.
From Dow Jones Newswires' Tatyana Shumsky:
The Reserve Bank of India restricted trading agencies from importing gold under a deferred payment plan, extending an earlier ruling that barred banks from importing gold under the same plan. The central bank has been stepping up its fight to curb speculative gold purchases that have increased the country's current account deficit.
India is the world's largest gold market, accounting for about 28% of world demand for the metal thanks to a long tradition of giving and purchasing gold for religious festivals and weddings. But with very little domestic production, the vast majority of the metal is imported from overseas.
Over the past year and a half the government has also raised the import tax on gold to 6% from 2%, but these measures haven't had much impact as imports have surged in recent months following a sharp decline in gold prices.
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is down by 1.1% Tuesday morning. The closed-end fund Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) is off by the same amount and Central Fund of Canada (CEF), another closed-end fund, is down 1.7%. Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) is down 2.3% and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) is down 1.9%. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) has shed 1.5%.

Tead Off wrote:I have never seen Thai puerh. Never heard of it. That's not to say it doesn't exist. KMT farmers were more involved with opium production than tea after their exit from China. They needed money to fund their utopian dreams of counter revolution. It was the Taiwanese who helped them setup tea production in the 80's in conjunction with the Thai gov't as the pressure to give up opium farming was great and the chance of counter revolution was nil. The tea production focused on oolongs, Taiwanese style. Vietnam also ramped up its gaoshan production and these 2 producers still feed their lesser quality oolongs into the Taiwanese market.
I could see Myanmar, Lao, and Vietnam, having some puerh production as the border people are virtually the same as well as the wild tea that also grows there. But I have yet to see any Thai puerh and never saw any Myanmar puerh being sold in the markets of Yangon. Maybe in Shan State you can find. Never saw any Vietnamese puerh in the markets in Hanoi, either. Maybe they sell some closer to the Yunnan border. Yunnan's Dian culture was related to Vietnam's Dongson culture. 2500 years ago, there was plenty of trade between these 2 areas. Some historians say they were the same people.
I have never had a memorable tea from any border country. I had a pleasant green from Myanmar and Thailand but nothing that I would buy again. Worse for Lao.
I was speaking technically. But you are indeed correct, there are trees on the other side of the border as well. Cheers!

|In response to Re: Americast "creak" under load
:I rechecked the stringer for level along its length and across its width ... both are good. I made height measurements with and without a jig (built to the manufacturers setup specs) and both approaches verify the setup of the stringer. My conclusion is that there are small imperfection on the underside of the tub where it sits on the stringer. I'm inclined to use Henry 547 underlayment as filler for the small gap between the stringer and the bottom of the tub flange. A few experimental pieces I made seemed to work out OK. If anyone has a better idea (a structural foam?) I'm open to suggestions.
Paul B.
: Reply:
: : : It may be dead level, parallel, and smooth, but is it at the exact height so that it is supporting the flange but not lifting the tub off the floor?
: : : : I have installed an Americast Princeton bathtub and find that flex under load at the back wall stringer creates a creaking noise. I confirmed the tub to be level front to back and side to side. The flange of the tub has a small gap (1/6 to 3/32 of an inch) at the drain end when resting on the stringer and the flex noise in that area stops when a small cedar wedge is fitted. I cannot find any other point with a tub flange to stringer gap of any sort.
: : : : I have removed the tub inspected the stringer and floor and found them to be dead level, parallel and smooth.
: : : : In preparation for reinstallation, I sanded off the mold selvage along the underside of the tubs flange area but am wondering whether there is any sort of bedding that I might put on the stringer to eliminate gaps and the resultant creaking noise when loaded? I'm concerned that whatever I do needs to be able to support the roughly 700 pound of water that a full tub will hold and have reasonable longevity.
: : : : Given the large number of these tubs sold I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this problem.

The anti-piracy bills could unleash new threats of litigation, the last thing e-retailers need.
There has been plenty of discussion about the anti-piracy bills (e-retailers take a stand ) before Congress, the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). But I've not seen anyone make a point I think is crucial for online retailers: It's not just what the act will allow law enforcement agencies to do, but how the law might encourage lawyers for big movie studies and music labels to act.
Backers say the bills are aimed only at rogue web sites based in other countries that U.S. government agencies can't reach with existing laws. But the law is so broadly written that it could be used against a U.S. online retailer whose site invites comment from consumers. If someone uploads a video that a movie studio alleges contains copyrighted content or a music label claims includes lyrics from one of its songs, could that e-retail site be taken down? It's not out of the realm of possibility.
Movie studios and music labels are big companies with major law firms on retainer. Just a threat from those firms could force e-retailers to comply with their demands or face expensive court battles.
The most innovative e-retailers often are small companies just getting underway. They don't have money to waste on legal fees. The more time and money they spend on lawyers the less they can put into developing the new ideas that advance online commerce.
We're in the midst of a golden age of innovation, driven by the massive adoption of online shopping and the explosion of mobile devices that put the Internet into the pockets and purses of millions of shoppers. Groupon, Gilt Groupe, Shopkick and Foursquare are just a few examples of e-commerce innovators that have emerged in recent years. Even Facebook and Twitter could be included. Any of these companies could have been crushed during infancy had it been hit by a lawsuit filed a well-funded corporation.
It's not in the interest of online retailers to make it easier for powerful entertainment companies to wield their legal bludgeons more freely. Plus, today's move by the U.S. government to shut down a foreign site called Megaupload.com for allegedly serving as a conduit of pirated content raises the question of whether the U.S. government really needs new laws to shut down sites that facilitate piracy. (And the web site in question claims its business is legitimate.)
E-retailers have enough on their hands dealing with the demands by patent holders who claim that web merchants are stealing inventions. These patent demands are becoming a major expense for many e-retailers, as my colleague Mark Brohan explains in a story today on InternetRetailer.com. If Congress wants to foster innovation, it might consider how to prevent companies from buying up patents issued in the early days of the Internet and then demanding tribute from the creative, growing retailers selling on the web today.
