Whether you're cutting your crop or your customers' crops – you need to get a lot done in a tight time frame. The performance of Case IH WD 3 Series Windrowers starts with the most powerful engine and largest disc header available in the industry and extends to many other innovative, efficiency-improving features. The end result? An unmatched system that allows you to move faster through the field and cut more... all day, every day.
The smooth ride from the independent rear axle suspension lets you drive faster, increasing cutting speed, and allows
you to get more done in a day. Ideal for high-speed operating conditions – as when running a disc header – this suspension system also provides added protection for your windrower
by reducing shock load to the chassis. Single Cast Tail Wheel reduces dirt build up in muddy conditions improving performance.
Perfect for cutting on terraces or borders, the Case IH WD1903 and WD2303 feature industry-exclusive independent lift arm flotation for the header. Adjustable from the cab, separate hydraulic systems for the
left- and right-sides of the machine effectively work as a tilt allowing you to tailor the cut to the terrain on the go.
Looking for a comfortable, modern cab that offers many features? The cab on the WD 3 Series Windrower is for you. It offers
industry-leading visibility with intuitive controls like the ergonomically-correct Multi-Function Propulsion lever, also used in
the CASE IH Axial-Flow® combines. The standard features will impress you – and the optional features will amaze you.
WD1903 and WD2303 incorporate a new Multi-Function Handle. The new handle is similar in shape and size but offers the following key benefits:
• Ergonomically enhanced for increased operator productivity
and comfort.
• Resume button for header raise and lower
Here's a perfect fit: the adjustable air suspension seat and ride suspension sensor adjusts to suit any operator and provides greater comfort and optimal control. Optional cab suspension and the suspended rear axle promise to provide a smooth
ride over the roughest terrain, leaving you less fatigued at
the day's end.
The fact remains; a windrower is only as good as its header. Case IH has you covered. New Case IH RD 3 Series
Rotary Disc Headers are designed for customers who demand high quality, nutrient rich hay, greater productivity, decreased operating costs, and reduced downtime.
Disc headers are available in 16ft and 19ft widths with chevron intermeshing rubber or steel conditioning systems.
Two heavy-duty knives on each disc on the rotary disc headers spin at 2,500 rpm to slice
through heavy, tangled crops. Knives are reversible for twice the cutting life. Not only do the
RD 3 series rotary discs feature wider discs than the previous RD 2 series, but they are also
equipped with even stronger components such as wider gears and larger cross shafts that are lubed
to prevent wear. Discs are austempered for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions
and the protective liner in the hood helps reduce rock damage. Modular cutterbar design features
self-contained oil reservoirs with individual dipsticks which make fluid checks easy, eliminate
cross contamination across the cutter bar and ensure maximum lubrication on inclines.
The full-length auger provides optimal feeding from the cutterbar into the conditioning rolls. Engineered with a positive feed design, the auger more effectively moves crop toward the center of the conditioning rolls for more
even windrow formation. These innovative CaseIH headers are engineered to combine greater productivity with reduced power consumption.
Farm operations come in all types and sizes; so do headers for WD 3 Series Windrowers. The HDX 2 Series sicklebar headers offer an appropriate size for any customer who requires high quality cut hay, while the DH2 Series draper headers are ideal for windrowing crops including canola, wheat, barley, flax and forage. Whichever is best for you, the cost-effective productivity of Case IH intuitive innovation stands ready to work for you.
HDX sicklebar headers are available in 14ft, 16ft or 18ft widths.
Draper heads are available in 25ft or 30ft widths.
For quality hay-harvesting results, team an HDX sicklebar header with one of the WD 3 self-propelled windrowers. Treat your hay to the smooth cutting and gentle handling of the Case IH sicklebar headers.
HDX sicklebar headers use the counter-stroking action of dual sickles to shear crop cleanly, while the unique floating auger keeps the crop moving smoothly to the conditioning rolls.
Bolt-on knife sections are standard on all sicklebar models for easy field replacement if necessary. These over-serrated knife sections provide long life and a cleaner cut in most crop
conditions. Double heat-treated range guards offer long life in tough conditions and superior resistance to rock damage.
When the crop is ready and the weather is cooperating – downtime is not an option. And when you're cutting, efficiency and productivity are pivotal. That's why Case IH WD 3 Series Windrowers make servicing simple, with quick, and easy and on-the-go productivity-enhancing features ensure you'll be making the most of your in-field time.
In-cab productivity features like the
hydraulic header flotation system allow you to make adjustments on the fly, quickly responding to changing ground contours.
You also can change header tilt from the cab with hydraulic cutterbar angle adjustment. With this feature, guard angle is adjustable from 6 to 12 degrees below horizontal for
sicklebar headers, and 2 to 10 degrees below horizontal for disc headers.
WD 3 Series Windrowers can quickly adapt to sickle, draper or rotary disc heads in about 30 minutes, no tools required – and, no need to buy a different machine just to run a draper head to cut your small grains crop. And if you have to transport, the quick-attach couplers make it simple and
easy to detach the head.
Keeping your WD 3 Series Windrower hard at work in the field is easier than ever before.
For one thing, the fuel fill can be easily reached from the ground. No more climbing up steps, dragging hoses across the machine to fill the tank. And with a fuel capacity of 120 gallons (454 liters), you can
work all day long.
Side shields flip up for easy access to the engine. From ground level, you easily can reach all key maintenance points, including fluid levels and filters. And the fuses are located behind a panel inside the cab – a clean environment that protects them from corrosion.

I've never quite understood the strategy of selling a beer on being "cold" (which would be my job to keep it so) rather than tasty, but everyone knows that an ice-cold beer at the height of summer is when lagers are at their best. So Spendrups did an ad with the headline "have a really cold summer", suggesting cold beer on hot days. They've now been reprimanded for having the audacity suggesting that beer should be drunk at all, forget seeing anything as advanced as the Jupiler Ice Beer poster here in Sweden.
This is the offending Spendrups ad that ran last summer. Shocking, isn't it?

NIAID Issues New Clinical Trials Units Funding Opportunity Announcement
NIAID has issued a new request for applications (RFA) to establish clinical trials units (CTUs) for its clinical research networks. The new funding announcement is being issued in connection with NIAID's efforts to revamp and expand its HIV/AIDS clinical research networks. The purpose of the RFA is to solicit applications for CTUs for NIAID clinical research networks focused on the following six research areas:
Applications will be accepted until January 29, 2013. For more information, visit the Restructuring the NIAID Clinical Trials Networks webpage.
Study Suggests HIV Infection Induces Age-Related Changes to Monocytes and Innate Immune Activation That Persist in Young Men Despite Combination Antiretroviral Therapy
"[The objectives of this study are to] compare the impact of HIV infection and healthy ageing on monocyte phenotype and function and determine whether age-related changes induced by HIV are reversed in antiretroviral treated individuals. …
"A cross sectional study of monocyte ageing markers in viremic and virologically suppressed HIV-positive males aged 45 years or less and age-matched and elderly (≥65 years) HIV-uninfected individuals. …
"Monocytes from young viremic HIV-positive males resemble those from elderly controls, and show increased expression of CD11b (P<0.0001 on CD14 and CD16subsets) and decreased expression of CD62L and CD115 (P=0.04 and 0.001, respectively, on CD14 monocytes) when compared with young uninfected controls. These changes were also present in young virologically suppressed HIV-positive males. Innate immune activation markers neopterin, soluble CD163 and CXCL10 were elevated in both young viremic (P<0.0001 for all) and virologically suppressed (P=0.0005, 0.003 and 0.002, respectively) HIV-positive males with levels in suppressed individuals resembling those observed in elderly controls. Like the elderly, CD14 monocytes from young HIV-positive males exhibited impaired phagocytic function (P=0.007) and telomere-shortening (P=0.03) as compared with young uninfected controls. …
"HIV infection induces changes to monocyte phenotype and function in young HIV-positive males that mimic those observed in elderly uninfected individuals, suggesting HIV may accelerate age-related changes to monocytes. Importantly, these defects persist in virologically suppressed HIV-positive individuals."

Reads like the guest list of MSNBC.
BUMP! And thanks for the hard work.
Good deal, name names!
I don't want to see a single one of these people opining as a "Fox News Contributor", as their involvement on Journolist has removed any semblance of integrity or objectivity.
Wow! I'm stunned. Wonder if this will make the MSM story list?
Is there any way to find out where they live and march around their homes, scaring their ponies?
In the future, when Sarah is completing her second term in the WH, with a majority of GOP/TEAs in the House & Senate...this bunch of morons and their *secret society* would make a great spy sit-com. "Trick or Treason*

I'm not surprised that liberal journalists spend time talking to each other about how to spin events. I was already under the impression that was most of what they did. After all, they use the same talking points, even the same phrases. And I hardly ever see any journalistic digging.
Spenser Ackerman works for the OReilly Factor? I always though Bill came up with some strange ideas.
Wow. A Who's Who of liberal propagandists.
I bet it was on this listserv that all of the "talking point" words were first seen by the comrades. "Gravitas," etc.
Kay Steiger - Center for American Progress
CAP ... there's a nest of vipers ...
Wow, excellent compilation. Thanks for your hard work BuckeyeTexan! Needs to be sent out in email - spread the news!
Are these journalists or propagandists?
Thanks for the update! This list is amazing in its breadth. I didn't know there were so many prog organizations.
I also wonder if there is an equivalent list/serv for government employees to coordinate their attacks on private citizens like what was happening to Arizona after their immigration law was passed.
FOX would be stupid to use any of these far lefties.
Bob Beckel is bad enough!
I wonder what they set up to replace this list.
After Greta's attack on Glenn Beck yesterday, a Democrat talking point, on her blog...I think she might need to be added to the journolist...
The list, ping
They set up "Cabalist." No, I'm not kidding. Three former J-Listers started it. There are 173 members as of now.
Maybe humblegunner can create a logo for it. I'm really bad with Photoshop. Whatever we come up with. I'd like the "FREEPED" stamp across it. Bwahahahaha!
Thanks for the ping.
Where does one find that?
I know, right?!
/teenager mode off
Here's a JournoList logo that someone else came up with. Maybe we could stamped it "Freeped!"
Whoops. Sorry, TBP. The above post was meant for TheShrew.
Here's the article about Cabalist.
See post 32. Can you do something like that? Or do you have any other ideas?
Needs work, this is a draft:
Yeah, something like that. I've seen the "FREEPED" logo all by itself here on FR. I'll see if I can find it. I think it's red or blue and the font is similar to the one stamped over that Digg logo. I've also seen it stamped over the LA Times logo too.
It doesn't have to be that particular JournoList logo. If you have better ideas, have at it.
That works!
Thanks for the efforts.
I think the FREEPED should be smaller too and either red or blue to match FR's colors.
What I don't like about the Obama-campaign version of the JournoList logo is that it encourages the "Journ-O-List" meme. Journolist wasn't named in homage to Obama. The term "journo" has been around for decades and decades.
I wish there were another logo for JournoList because that one's just the first one I found.
And yes, thanks, humblegunner for playing around with the idea.
The republican party itself has been penetrated by the progressives.. most republicans don't even know what a Progressive IS..
We in the republican party have zeroed in and found THE PROBLEM.. The problem IS US.. We who should know what a Progressive IS.... (((DON'T)))..

There is this really obscure little song. You probably haven't heard of it. Hardly anybody has but it's really good. It's called "Call Me Maybe." Have you heard of it? OK, I'm just kidding. I know you have all heard it at least a million times and watched about 300 different parody videos: the version with Justin Bieber and his friends, the Harvard Baseball team, the U.S. Olympic Swim team, Cookie Monster, and countless others. Read on to find out how Carly Rae's life was changed by this 1 little song.
Q: Congratulations on your #1 hit "Call Me Maybe." How did the song change your life?
Carly Rae: Oh, it's been quite the adventure this one little song has taken me on. I was pursuing a career in Canada and then I wrote "Call Me Maybe" with two of my good friends, Tavish Crowe and Josh Ramsay, and Justin [Bieber] of course heard of the song and tweeted about it. Since then I've been travelling all over the world and getting to visit places I never thought I would. It's really been very exciting.
Q: How does it feel to have your song top the charts in the U.S., Australia, Ireland, and the UK?
Carly Rae: It's very surreal. When I was 7 years old I remember saying out loud to my parents that when I grew up I wanted to be a singer and I wanted to travel the world, and to see that that actually gets to happen feels very much like a fairy tale come true.
Q: What advice do you have for kids who want to be performers when they grow up?
Carly Rae: I think it's really important to learn an instrument as soon as you can, and to also just never really give up. Keep trying different ways to kind of pursue your dream because life is short and you want to make it count.
Q: What is the craziest fan encounter you've ever had?
Carly Rae: One time I went back to my hometown, Mission, B.C., and the mayor of Mission asked me to help him judge a pumpkin carving contest. One of the local fans had actually carved a pumpkin of my face, and it looked like me, an orange me, but still me.
Q: What is one thing that people would really be surprised to know about you?
Carly Rae: I really like to do kind of mellow, just kind of casual things. I like to play chess. I really love to cook. I actually used to be a pastry chef for a little while. I know how to make 9 cheesecakes at a time. I can't make just one but if you want 9, I got you covered.
Q: Can you tell us about your new album, Kiss?
Carly Rae: It's kind of been the project of my life. Some of the songs were ideas I had when I was just 17 years old, and some of them were written honestly like 2 weeks before the due date. So it's really felt like a collection of a lifetime for me, and it's sort of inspired by Robyn and La Roux and a bit of Madonna, and it's also kind of got an 80s vibe, kind of like The Cars.
Q: Who's your biggest influence?
Carly Rae: I would say my parents are probably number one. I love the way that they are passionate about music just like I am. I think they're really good people. But I would say, if I were to pick a musician, I really grew up on a guy named James Taylor. He's one of my favorites.
Q: Can you tell us your songwriting process?
Carly Rae: Sometimes it's very much like a journal entry if I've had a crush on a guy or if I, you know, just tried something new and I want to write about it, but other times it'll be just from listening to people. I get a lot of my ideas from words and lyrics. So I'll be in a conversation with you and you might say something really inspiring and I'll have to stop and get a pen and write it down and add it to a song later.
Q: Are you as famous as you had hoped to be?
Carly Rae: I don't know that I ever like thought of a level of fame that I was after. It was more just about being able to make music and hopefully being able to make a career out of it. And the fact that people sometimes recognize me now is kind of part of the package that sometimes is really exciting but also sometimes is really nerve-racking. So it's a little bit of both.
Q: Was it fun making the "Call Me Maybe" music video?
Carly Rae: Yeah, it was really fun. It was actually freezing cold that day. It doesn't look like it. We tried to make it look like it was summer, but I had a lot of fun. In between takes of being in little Daisy Duke shorts and pretending to wash a car in the summer, I was getting my girlfriends to run over with winter jackets and hot chocolate. I tried to pretend like it was more summertime than it actually was.
Q: How was recording with Owl City?
Carly Rae: Really cool. Actually it wasn't how you would expect it to be. I was asked to do the song from Scooter Braun, Justin's manager, and we ended up meeting over the internet, so I actually recorded my version of the song, or my piece of the verse, when I was in Canada, and just sent it to him over email. We actually didn't meet until the first day of the music video shoot.
There you have it. And my Dance Party pick for this weekend is that Owl City song with Carly Rae Jepsen called "Good Time." It's so dance-y and fun! What do you think, love it or loathe it? Leave a Comment.

Strong Latino support for President Obama could be leveraged to advance legislation, political appointees.
WASHINGTON — As a resident of a U.S. territory, Andrés Lopez could not vote for President Obama on Nov. 6, but the Puerto Rico-based lawyer found another way to help propel Obama to a second term — raising campaign money.
Latinos overwhelmingly backed Obama at the polls, pushing him to victory in key states, such as Colorado and Florida. Nationally, Obama won 71% of the Latino vote to Republican Mitt Romney's 27%. But behind the scenes, Lopez and a cadre of wealthy Latino business owners, entertainers, lawyers and financiers tapped their connections to collect roughly $30 million in small and large donations for Obama's re-election, Lopez said.
The sum is a tiny fraction of the $1 billion collected by Obama and the Democratic National Committee since Jan. 1, 2011, but illustrates one way Latino interests are increasing their political clout. They could leverage their influence to push Obama to act on issues important to the nation's fastest-growing minority community — such as comprehensive immigration legislation — and to seek an increase in the number of Latino political appointees in his second term.
"This has no parallel in American politics," Lopez said of the Obama campaign's 2012 Latino fundraising. "The ability to deliver on our goals has earned us a place at the table."
These elite fundraisers, known as bundlers for their ability to assemble donations from business associates, relatives and friends, are crucial to candidates' efforts to fund costly television advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts.
Among the top Latino fundraisers who made up the Obama's Futuro Fund, as the 2012 fundraising effort was called: actress Eva Longoria, Texas architect Henry Muñoz and Illinois lawyer Manuel Sanchez.
Sanchez, a founder of the nation's second-largest, minority-owned law firm, raised money for Obama's first presidential bid and said he and other Latinos collected about $8 million in the 2008 campaign. But he and Lopez describe a more extensive Latino operation for the re-election. It kicked off with an Oct. 24, 2011, event attended by Obama and headlined by Longoria and comedian George Lopez at the Los Angeles home of Spanish-born actor Antonio Banderas and his wife, actress Melanie Griffith.
Obama's team provided staffers to support the fund, which raised money at several dozen events coast-to-coast. Matthew Barzun, who left his post as U.S. ambassador to Sweden to serve as Obama's national finance chairman in the 2012 re-election effort, said one of his first meetings after joining the campaign in June 2011 was with the Futuro Fund. Lopez, one of its co-chairs, and Barzun were classmates at Harvard College.
"We took it seriously," Barzun said.
The hard-line immigration positions espoused by Romney and several other GOP candidates during their party's nomination battle made the contrast between Obama and Republicans "so stark that it was an easy choice" for Latinos to ramp up their support for the president, Sanchez said.
The Latino vote was crucial for Obama and a slew of Democrats elected on Nov. 6.Obama won 71% of the Latino vote to Republican Mitt Romney's 27%, up from 9% in 2008. In Florida, where Obama carried the Latino vote 60% to 39%, Hispanics made up 17% of voters, up from 14% four years ago, according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center.
Voters also elected a record 35 Latinos to the U.S. House of Representatives, including some representing U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico. Twenty-seven are Democrats. Next year, the Senate will have three Hispanics in its ranks, with the election of Republican Ted Cruz from Texas.
In four races, Latino Democrats picked up Republican seats, notes Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., who runs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' political action committee. They include physician Raul Ruiz's upset of eight-term Rep. Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., in a Palm Springs-area district where Latinos are in the minority.
At the same time, the non-Hispanic white vote is shrinking, hitting a low of 72% of the electorate this year, down from 87% two decades ago.
Eugene Sepulveda, an Austin philanthropist who said he has raised more than $2 million for Obama over two campaigns, ranks health care and gay rights among his top issues. He said demographics will change the country's politics for a long time.
"I don't think we'll ever see another Republican president in my lifetime — unless the party makes huge inroads with the Latino, African-American and Asian communities," he said. "They are done. The angry white guys are dying off."
Prominent Latino Republicans say a first step is bipartisan passage of comprehensive immigration legislation to address the millions of immigrants living illegally in the U.S.
"There are 50,000 Latinos turning 18 every month," said Al Cardenas, a former Florida Republican Party chairman who now heads the American Conservative Union. "The path to the White House needs to go through the Latino community."
Obama's bundler list includes at least 15 Latino fundraisers, and Sanchez said "dozens" of Hispanics donated or raised at least $50,000 each. Romney has not disclosed who raised money on his behalf.
A USA TODAY analysis shows Obama raised more than $137,000 from individuals in Puerto Rico, not counting contributions to the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising with the Democratic Party. Romney raised $45,000 from the territory's residents.
In his first term, Obama appointed Sanchez to an advisory panel on Hispanic education. Would Sanchez like a post in the second term? "I would, but I really don't have anything specific in mind," he said.

PAN Alert: Parkinson's Programs See Increases in FY 2014 Funding
- Jan 14 2014
The Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) has received another important update from the Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) about increased federal Parkinson's research funding.
From PAN:
After weeks of careful debate following the passage of a two-year budget agreement, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees have released details of a spending plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. The legislation sets funding levels for agencies and programs across the federal government. Critically important to the Parkinson's community are the Department of Defense (DoD) Parkinson's research program, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – all of which are set to receive funding increases over current spending levels.
While not perfect, the measure is a step forward for a number of our federal funding priorities and a direct result of your dedicated and tireless efforts in reaching out to your Members of Congress.
DoD Parkinson's Research Program
The legislation provides $16 million for the DoD Parkinson's research program, which identifies and funds research projects that strive to understand how Parkinson's disease develops and discover new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat the disease. You did it! This funding level matches PAN's request for FY 2014 and restores funding lost to sequestration – which is almost unheard of in this funding environment and a true testament to your advocacy work.
Given that defense spending faced a number of difficult choices in final discussions, it is a significant victory for the Parkinson's community. It is also recognition by Congressional leaders that the program should be a continued priority.
Funding levels for the FDA are set at $2.55 billion, which restores spending lost to sequestration, plus an additional $91 million. The FDA is the federal agency primarily responsible for evaluating new drugs and medical devices before they can be sold. The legislation also restores $85 million in previously sequestered, privately funded user fees that are paid by companies when they file a new drug or device application. Restoration of these fees, which was the subject of bills introduced in both the House and Senate last summer and supported by PAN, is expected to contribute directly to the advancement of new therapies and medical devices – and we thank all of you who took action in 2013 on this important issue.
The Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill, which includes funding for the NIH and related health programs, is traditionally among the most politically difficult to reach compromise. While NIH did receive a $1 billion boost in funding above current spending levels, its total allocation of $29.9 billion remains just over $700 million less in funding than was available before sequestration.
NIH funding for FY 2014 includes $1.587 billion for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a commitment for continued funding for the BRAIN Initiative, and just under $10 million for the Cures Acceleration Network, which provides funding for initiatives designed to address scientific and technical challenges that impede transitional research.
Overall, the funding level is estimated to allow the NIH to continue all current research programs and begin approximately 385 additional research studies and trials.
It is important to note that while we are disappointed that full funding was not restored to NIH, medical research and health programs were largely spared additional cuts, as much of the savings burden was shifted to education and labor programs.
Due in no small part to your commitment, we were fortunate to see any increase in NIH funding, and your hard work will be needed more than ever this upcoming year.
What's Next?
Congress is working quickly to pass the final spending legislation by the end of the week and set government funding through the end of September, the end of the fiscal year. Congressional leaders and the Administration will then begin turning their attention to FY 2015, which may prove to be even more challenging in terms of setting priorities.
We will follow up with opportunities to engage with your Members of Congress on federal funding priorities for the Parkinson's community as the debate takes shape for FY 2015.
PAN is the voice of the Parkinson's community in Washington, DC. In fiscal year 2014, PDF is supporting PAN with a grant of $200,000.

Remember your first favorite pair of jeans? The ones you wore everywhere, with everything? The ones you didn't wash for weeks on end because dirty favorite jeans are better than other, lesser jeans? And, do you remember the day you realized you'd worn them out so much that they were unwearable? Knee holes, crotch blowouts, four inches of hem destruction… We set out on the streets of New York to ask people about their most beloved blues, and the stories remind us of people talking about a close friend whom they've lost forever. It's a lesson for the masses, though, because Denim Therapy can fix your denim best friends! Spread the word! Save your jeans!

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder characterized by leg discomfort during sleep, which is only relieved by frequent movements of the legs.
RLS occurs most often in middle-aged and older adults. It is worsened by stress. The cause is not known. RLS may occur more often in patients with peripheral neuropathy, chronic kidney disease, Parkinson's disease, pregnancy or iron deficiency.
RLS can result in a decreased quality of sleep (insomnia) with subsequent daytime sleepiness, anxiety or depression, and confusion or slowed thought processes from lack of sleep.
The disorder consists of sensations in the lower legs that make the person uncomfortable unless the legs are moved. The sensations usually occur shortly after going to bed but may also occur during the daytime.
There are several effective pharmaceutical treatments for restless legs. Your treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs.
If you feel as though you have symptoms related to RLS, please contact your doctor or call (515) 358-9600 to schedule an appointment with a board-certified Mercy Sleep Center physician.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Sheriff's Office was involved in a rescue near Joe's Valley over the weekend. The night shift on Feb. 10 had received an attempt to locate on an overdue party who had been due at Ephraim for a family function. Sgt. Gayle Jensen checked out the Joe's Valley area and found the missing mother and four children at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. The family was OK. They had been stuck in the snow and a mountain lion hunter in the area had pulled them out.
Sgt. Jensen followed the family to the sheriff's office where they were given breakfast and reunited with family members.
The Fisher family was the lost party involved in the search this weekend. They were from Las Vegas, Nev. They were reported overdue to Ephraim at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Sunday. The driver, Karena Fisher had reportedly missed the turn off of I-70 onto SR-89 and she had continued eastbound on I-70.
A call had been traced from Fisher's cell phone as having bounced off the Cedar Mountain repeater at approximately 8 p.m. on Saturday night. After that time, a trooper traveled from Green River to the Fremont Junction and another traveled the road to Loa, Hanksville and back to Green River attempting to locate the vehicle. There was also a deputy who had traveled from Fairview to the county line and back. Another trooper had come from Salina to Fremont Junction and back to Salina with no luck.
When Sgt. Jensen came on shift Sunday morning he determined that he would go search the Joe's Valley area and Deputy Kay Jensen would search the Ferron Canyon Road. Sgt. Jensen located the missing party as they were coming back down the first turn on the switchback. They were escorted by Ed Curry who had pulled the vehicle out of the snow. Curry said he had located the party approximately 300 feet west of the Grassy reservoir turnoff. This is one half a mile west of where the Palmers vehicle was located two weeks earlier.
The missing family followed Sgt. Jensen to Food Ranch where they fueled up the vehicle. The husband and grandparents met the missing party at the sheriff's office. The grandparents had been looking all night for the missing family.
Fisher advised Sgt. Jensen that her vehicle had become stuck at approximately 6:30 p.m. and they had tried to get the vehicle out until about 8:30 p.m. She said she kept trying to call and left a message but that was earlier. She said it began to snow around 7 p.m. They spent the night in their vehicle. The lion hunter located the party about 6:55 a.m. Sunday morning. He helped pull the vehicle out. The only mishap seemed to be the broken rear window of the vehicle when the tow rope snapped and the chain hit and broke the back window. Everyone in the missing family was OK. There were three children and a niece with the Fisher family.
Ironically this is the same road where the elderly couple went missing two weeks ago and lost their lives. Sheriff LaMar Guymon immediately contacted the forest service and told them to barricade that road. He then contacted the county road department and told them to immediately barricade and make sure the road closed signs were in place.
The road was blocked and signed by approximately 11 a.m. on Feb. 11.

Pissarro stayed at the Hôtel de Paris in Rouen from 20 January to 29 March 1896. From his studio on the third floor he painted different views of the Pont Boïeldieu over the Seine: at sunset, on an overcast day, in the fog. The bridge joined the old Gothic city in the north with the new southern industrial areas of Sainte-Sever. On the far bank we see boats docking and unloading cargo, with the urban landscape in the distance. Pissarro captures the transitive effects of the mist and smoke, a sense of fugitive movement in the city's activity. He was attracted to Rouen, describing it as having terrific character and being just as beautiful as Venice.1 Indeed, this juxtaposition between old and new is part of what makes Pissarro's urban paintings so intriguing.
A great admirer of Monet's Rouen Cathedral series, Pissarro painted several views of the quays in Rouen in 1883.2 From October to November, he worked en plein air, in the streets and around the harbour. However in 1893, following treatment on an eye, his doctor warned him not to expose himself to dusty conditions. By working from the window of his hotel room, Pissarro found a lasting solution to the problem of capturing the hustle and bustle of the city, its linear and aerial perspectives, without the impracticalities of installing oneself in the street. In Pont Boïeldieu, Rouen, sunset, misty weather the tilt of the bridge, as well as its sweeping angle across the canvas, allow him to make the most of presenting the busy pedestrian and carriage traffic.
This was one of eleven Rouen paintings exhibited at Paul Durand-Ruel's gallery in Paris in April–May 1896. The exhibition was well received: several critics described the Rouen works as some of his best to date. The works sold, thus providing the artist with some financial security at long last. Buoyed by this success, Pissarro returned to Rouen in September 1896—this time to the Hôtel d'Angleterre on the other side of the bridge, where his fifth-floor room offered panoramas of the city's three bridges. In 1898 he travelled to Rouen for the fourth time, painting more views of the bridges, as well as of the Gare d'Orléans and the Quai de la Bourse. His forty-seven views of Rouen vastly exceed the numbers of any other series he painted and ensure that cityscapes dominate his oeuvre.3

- The spectacular combination of atmospheric sky, solidity of the stone bridge, and mirror-like river in Pissarro's Rouen works did not, however, impress all of his clients. One of the bridges, painted during the 1896 campaign, was the subject of a letter to the artist from the then owner, Edmond Decap: 'I have the pleasure to inform you that I own your two beautiful paintings of Rouen, Morning effect, Pont Corneille and Evening effect, Pont Boïeldieu. There is a small error in the latter, which I allow myself to call to your attention: the bridge's first pier is not straight. Everyone who has seen the painting has noticed this defect. Would you rather correct it in Paris or shall I send it to Eragny.' It is not known whether Pissarro responded; if so, his reply has not been preserved. In any case, the pier of the bridge remains 'crooked'.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The last two 3-A tennis titles went to Pine View High School with Juan Diego finishing second. This season Pine View moved up to 4-A and won another tennis state championship leaving Juan Diego to finally win a championship.
Juan Diego won the region championship this season followed by North Sanpete, Emery and Delta. Carbon does not play girls tennis yet although there is talk going around that they may soon.
Juan Diego took all three state championships in singles tennis. Ogden finished second in state and won the two doubles championships. Logan was third and Judge Memorial finished fourth.
Finishing third this season was Whitney Saupan at second singles, Whitney Allen and Adriane Weihing at first doubles and Melanie Frisbie and Holly Hatch at second doubles. Meagan Singleton at first singles and Courtney Sitterud at third singles finished fourth in region. All qualified for state.
Whitney and Adriane were the only ones to win a match at state. They defeated the team from Canyon View that had finished second in their region. Although some of the others played well and even may have won a game, they were not able to win a match and advance to the next round.
Kaitlin Potter had played at second doubles all season with Melanie but an injury sidelined her and kept her from playing with the team at the state tournament.
With only Whitney Allen, Holly Hatch and Meagan Singleton graduating this season, Coach Tom Hansen is already excited for next season. "Things look promising already. If we could only get rid of the schools that are too big and the two private schools, it would open up 3-A tennis to a bunch of new schools. We will have five top players back next season and we could be good."

Some areas in the White Mountains National Recreation Area are open to the use of motorized vehicles. In general, motor vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 1,500 lbs. or less can be operated on lands along the southern and western boundaries. (The term GVWR is defined by the BLM as the total weight of the vehicle plus its maximum load/carrying capacity as specified by the manufacturer.) Portions of the Wickersham Creek Trail, the Beaver Creek National Wild River corridor, and the lands beyond the corridor are closed to summer use of motorized vehicles. There are also three Research Natural Areas and several hiking trails that are closed year-round to motorized use. See BLM's Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) management map to find areas open to the operation of OHVs.
Contact BLM for more information on the use of OHVs in the White Mountains National Recreation Area.
White Mountains trails are particularly vulnerable to damage during the summer. Much of Interior Alaska is covered by permanently frozen soil (permafrost). What keeps the soil frozen during the summer is an insulating cover of organic material about 12 inches thick. Once that organic mat is damaged through repeated passes by foot or vehicle, the frozen soils begin to thaw, creating mud bogs and gullies.

Deps Basirisky Hard Belly Frog
The Deps Basirisky Hard Belly Frog continues to raise the level of innovation with the addition of a hard polycarbonate belly. The hard belly design actually enhances many of the characteristics that made the original design so successful and adds a few benefits of its own. The unique forward facing 'legs' still help create the Basirisky Frog's unique action and also provide a larger profile, making the bait an easier target for lurking bass. As the bait is retrieved, it crawls in a rocking motion across the water's surface leaving behind a huge ripple. The hard polycarbonate belly actually accentuates this motion and improves the frog's balance as well, providing softer and better landings on casts.
Equipped with a single Owner hook, the hard belly allows only one side of the frog to compress. This improves the frog's hook up ratio by projecting the hook into the hungry bass' mouth and leaving less wiggle room for the bass to get off the hook. The bait is also vented to allow air to escape quickly, making compression more complete. Effective anywhere you would think of throwing a frog or rat, the Deps Basirisky Hard Belly Frog is an effective fish catcher on the mats, in thick grass or scattered vegetation, and even in open water.
Featuring a new hard polycarbonate belly:

Customer Reviews
Comments: Pros: unique design, unique action,easy to cast and skipp, attract fish. Cons: for open water or very moderate cover only(grass will kill the action, poor hookup ratio, very expensive bait
From: Ben: France 6/1/15
Comments: I had this frog and I loved it so much! I thought hookups were going to be horrible because of the wings, but I believe I hooked every fish that took a good bite at it. the wings do snag up a little bit on the matted algae in the surface but grass and such it does amazing. and that's expected, its not made to go over matted algae. a definite buy
From: Matt: USA 2/14/15
Comments: Great bait, especially in moderately dense vegetation. It really excels being worked through the heavy stuff like a typical frog, but as soon as it hits open water, just straight reel it. The bass can't resist it. Rarely do I catch small fish on this bait. Take some time and learn how to properly use it and pay attention to when it gets hit. A very productive bait.
From: Drew: MA 7/24/14
Comments: I have been fishing with this frog for about 2 years now. I have landed some decent size Bass on it. I think this frog gets some bad comments. Give it some time to work on you. It does act like a jitterbug in the open water. Nothing wrong with that. I hardly ever get drag any weeds back with it. It acts really nice on top of weed beds. A from me.
From: Mark: Wheeling, Illinois, USA
Comments: i prefer this frog over all others... due to the fact that when fished correctly, this is a tournament winning frog. i have put small weights on the nose.. pushing it up and down on the surface of the water. and this helps a ton. last year i caught a 40-50 percent of my bass using this method!
From: Cole: USA
Comments: First of all, most of you probably do not know how to fish this frog, it is fished like a weedless jitterbug! Imagine the potential this bait has! Your classic jitterbug action when slowly retrieving but in weedless form! throw this over the thick stuff and watch it do the work for you! Great lure, one of the most fun top water baits to fish! Great hook up ratio as well!
From: Chris: Deep South, LA
Comments: deps makes the best three frogs on the market period. this one the slither k and the new buster k make any other frogs obselete. the action that all these frogs put out is unbelievable this one is the only one in the buisness that has this kind of movement on the water the wide side to side wobble has boated me some mighty big bass one of the best baits that there is for big bass buy one it will change you fishing forever!!!!!!
From: Jim: Lake Tomahawk, WI

From: Tom: NY
Comments: Best Frog On The Market Its Just Amazing How It Outfishes Other Frogs
From: Adrian: So Cal
Comments: Found this lure at a mom&pop tackle shop it had dust on it.Paid $10 bucks and its amazing by far one of my favorite go to baits when the bite is slow.Its a fun bait to throw it never snags always looks cool and its just wobbles arcoss the water.The most badass thing about this bait is you can watch the bass follow it almost everytime then its GAME ON the sencond you slow it down i promise if you buy it you catch fish.No doubt worth the money
From: Brandon: Virginia Beach, VA
Comments: well worth the money......great bait..not just a night time bait....95%hook ups best frog
From: Greg: Brighton, MI
Comments: You really want to add some action and catch a lot more fish on this lure I have a tip for fishing the frog. Tie you about 8 inches of line on to the hook and Texas rig you a black floating worm on it. It will drive the fish wild. Bass will eat it up. Crank it real slow just enogh to get the plop, plop going and then stop the lure every 3 or 4 feet. They will bust it hard. It works great and night and daytime out in the open water around the stumps and lay down trees. Use the 70mm it works the best. Makes more noise and casts a lot farther. Try this tip and you will be amazed at what you catch.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: Love this frog. My absolute favorite night bait. Period. Because this bait moves slower than a buzz bait (just for example) this allows bass to track better at night. The slow clumsy wobble drives them nuts. Reminds me of fishing a Jitterbug at night when I was a kid, but this bad boy is so much more weedless. You can take the risk and throw it close around and into cover. The wobble is better than a Jitterbug though. Looks like (or at night, SOUNDS like) it drank a six-pack of beer and went for a swim! The bait's action is totally killed when fishing matted grass and pads, but not a big deal. In this situation just fish like a Spro. I usually just fish it around the edges of cover and along the bank. Even though it does not wobble on grass mats, when it hits an open spot, resumes wobble again. Makes more of a splash when you jerk the rod too. Other hollow frogs don't do this. Try one!
From: Josh: Indiana, USA
Comments: I fish frogs all of the time. I love this frog. If you really want to experience topwater fishing at its best, tie you one of these babies on at night and hold on. I fished Pickwick lake last weekend and I bet if I had kept up with it, I had 50 explosive strikes. We caught a bunch of fish, and we missed a lot more than we caught. I don't think that it is the baits fault that you miss a lot of fish. They hit it so hard that they try to kill it. Give a kid a Zebco 33 reel and tie one on and he will be your fishing partner forever. I love this bait. I have both sizes and I prefer the 70 size because it will waddle a lot better and cast farther than the 60. Tacklewarehouse has the best selection and price of anyone, anywhere.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: I love this bait!!! this is THE BEST FROG ever!!!
From: Marcel: Luzern, Schweiz
Comments: Brilliant frog design, has become one of my favorite topwater lures. Bass absolutely crush it! Really fun to fish! My absolute favorite night fishing lure. Fishesliene, a backwards weedless Jitterbug on steroids! Surprisingly, caught my personal best smallie on Lake Huron (not far from Mackinac Island area) fishing this frog around pads. Hook up ratio not 100%, but even the violent misses are great fun because they really get your adrenaline pumping!This frog shouldn't replace your Spro frog, but it is a terrific addition to any frog box because it offers such a unique action that few bass have seen! Try one out!
From:Josh: Noblesville, IN
Comments: Best Frog Bait ever!!! I have fished every frog bait there is, ( including the Spro Frogs). The Basirisky Frog is easily the best at casting, drawing strikes, and getting solid hook ups!! I tried both the small and large one, but ended up just using the big boy. It casts extremely far on 65 lb braid. My hook up rate is very high, at least 90% or better !! The most durable frog ever too. I have been using the same , soft belly model, for two years now and it is not torn at all, and I have caught many bass on it.
From:Blake: Cullman, AL
Comments: Got both versions. The bigger version (70mm) seems to waddle better than the smaller one. I can throw both versions pretty far. Personally, it seems to me that the bait works better at night. Hook up rate is about 60-70%. I like the SPRO frog better than this one cause when this one sits still there is extra no action from the frog. With the SPO at least the legs are still fluttering. Once the weeds get tangle into the hook the bait doesn't walk as well. And for about the same price you can get two SPRO frogs.
From:Phillip: Minnesota, USA

Cardiff Blues got their PRO12 season off to a winning start with a 13-9 victory over Connacht at the Sportsground on Saturday.
Cardiff Blues got their PRO12 season off to a winning start with a 13-9 victory over Connacht at the Sportsground on Saturday.
The result represents the Blues' third successive opening day triumph.
It was the Blues who had majority of the play in the opening period, taking a 13-0 lead into half-time through a converted Lewis Jones try and two Ceri Sweeney penalites.
Miah Nikora scored three penalties in the second half to get the Irish province back into the match, but it wasn't enough as the visitors held on for the win.
Cardiff, in particular, will be looking to improve on a disappointing 2011/12 campaign. By finishing well outside the play-offs, the Heineken Cup quarter-finalists underachieved in the Pro12.
They started this encounter in a controlled fashion, though. Despite appearing to be weaker on paper to previous years, especially with star centre Casey Laulala moving on to pastures new, the Blues opened the scoring on 20 minutes through a Sweeney penalty.
The fly-half added his second soon after before Jones touched down for the first try of the match, their fly-half adding the extras.
Connacht, by contrast, had a decent campaign by their standards last season after finishing in eighth position.
And although the Irish province struggled to get any momentum in the opening half, they reduced the arrears through a three-pointer from Nikora five minutes after the interval.
It was the encouragement they needed and the hosts' fly-half added another to move into losing bonus-point territory. A third from the tee piled further pressure on the visitors, but Cardiff hung on for a potentially vital opening-day away success.
The scorers:
For Connacht:
Pens: Nikora 3
For Cardiff Blues:
Try: Jones
Cons: Sweeney
Pens: Sweeney 2
Connacht: 15 Gavin Duffy (capt), 14 Tiernan O'Halloran, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Mata Fifita, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Miah Nikora, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 George Naoupu, 7 Johnny O'Connor, 6 John Muldoon, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Ronan Loughney, 2 Ethienne Reynecke, 1 Denis Buckley.
Replacements: 16 Adrian Flavin, 17 Rodney Ah You, 18 Finlay Bealham, 19 Dave Gannon, 20 Willie Faloon, 21 David Moore, 22 Matthew Jarvis, 23 Robbie Henshaw.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Dan Fish, 14 Harry Robinson, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Gareth Davies, 11 Tom James, 10 Ceri Sweeney, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Josh Navidi, 6 Rory Watts-Jones, 5 James Down, 4 Robin Copeland, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Andi Kyriacou, 1 Thomas Davies.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Williams, 17 Beniot Borrust, 18 Nathan Trevett, 19 Lou Reed, 20 Luke Hamilton, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 Cory Allen, 23 Tom Williams, 24 Owen Williams.

Fresh New Design

The journey of RS Barcelona is the story of a dream in four stages. It starts off with Rafael Rodríguez Castillo, an employee in a metallurgist's – and old-style grafter – who in 1975 decided to start his own business. One day his little workshop turned into an industrial unit in Viladecans, Barcelona, where was enough space for his two sons to climb aboard. Along with the second generation of the family, the dream of RS Barcelona acquires a new dimension: manufacturing for others might put food on the table, but isn't very satisfying. The creative bug stimulation in the company's first 'own-brand' product: the metal football table. Along the way they make a fistful of errors, the kind from which a lot is learned. Enough in fact to be able to include the catalogue with a coat-hanger and an outdoor table. Little by little RS Barcelona's products find their place in the shop windows of internationally renowned trend setters. Something that can give a certain heady feeling. But the trick is getting excited by every little success. That's how we arrive at the third stage of the dream: the introduction of the new collection of furniture designed by Stone Designs for RS Barcelona. They met at Zona Tortona and they decided to run this road hand by hand. And know we are at the fourth part, which is still ahead. This new stage is awaiting for us as we go around the corner. Now we are working and collaborating with young, international and prestige designers searching for new ideas, innovative concepts for furniture and objects. Because we, at RS Barcelona, enjoy seeing things in a different light. We design with a one-way ticket to a world that remains unexplored. We are highly keen to return with who-knows-what in our hands and to be able to lend shape to the figments of our imagination. We demand the right to not have to be down to earth, the right to daydream, and the right to believe that two birds in the bush are better than one in the hand. And that is how our products are. Enthusiasm and optimism does not hurt anyone. On the contrary. It is good to fill our lives with moments to enjoy, however small they may seem. Blowing out the candles on a cake, diving under the sea or walking barefoot on damp grass, we live sensations that make us feel good. And these are the moments that inspire us in RS. We seek new languages and ways of expression to create furniture. We like to see things with different eyes, because through them we get new ideas and original solutions. But we do it for nothing more than bring a small dose of joy into your life. Because, above all, the lead characters in your life are you, and those around you.

Hal Fishman, the anchor of KTLA news, passed away last night at 3AM Pacific Time.
He not only provided me news regarding the world throughout my lifetime, he gave me voice in his documentaries which held no fear against the world. I remember my first time seeing him on T.V. when I was around 4. Growing up, I noticed that he didn't seem to be going anywhere, and I was proud of him for being so healthy and rising so high...being in Malibu's most wanted, Spiderman 3...he definitely became a news anchor legend in every way possible.
We won't forget you Hal Fishman. You left a mark here, and we sure as hell won't ever miss it.

Saracens moved four points clear at the top of the Premiership standings thanks to a 35-14 win over London Welsh at Allianz Park.
Saracens moved four points clear of Harlequins at the top of the Premiership standings on Sunday thanks to a 35-14 bonus-point win over London Welsh at Allianz Park.
But it was far from a convincing performance as the former champions were made to work very hard by relegation-threatened Welsh.
A penalty try and three Charlie Hodgson penalties gave Sarries a 16-11 half-time lead, with Welsh's response coming through debutant Seb Stegmann's touchdown and six points from the boot of Gavin Henson.
But scores from Joel Tomkins, Will Fraser and David Strettle took the hosts clear after the break.
With and RFU hearing looming for Exiles on Tuesday, the visitors looked distracted early on with Tyson Keats, the player at the centre of the eligibility storm, making the mistake for Sarries' first score.
The scrum-half's box-kick was charged down by Alistair Hargreaves and he conceded a penalty at the resultant ruck, which the home side's fly-half duly converted.
But to their credit, Welsh stuck to their task and restricted the hosts to another Hodgson three-pointer in the first quarter.
Welsh were rewarded for their endeavour, though, when Stegmann finished off a fine move to reduce the deficit to 6-5.
However, Phil Mackenzie was sin-binned for the visitors two minutes later and Mark McCall's men reasserted their authority.
A driving maul ended in a penalty try after Tom Bristow collapsed it. Bristow received a yellow card for the indiscretion, but the Exiles, down to 13-men, once again dug in.
Although Hodgson added a third penalty, two Henson three-pointers took the score to 16-11 at the interval.
Saracens upped the intensity in the second period and Tomkins powered over to extend the advantage to 23-11.
The visiting fly-half did eat into that lead, but Fraser's try – after an offload from – Schalk Brits effectively ended Welsh's resistance.
Strettle continued to push for an England recall by sealing a bonus point win for Saracens with jinking run to score late on.
