Where I stayed
Today was our first real exploration of downtown Nashville. Starting at the welcoming Visitor Center where we had our photos taken on stage, we knew there were definites like the Country Music Museum and Hall of Fame, but we decided to take one of the city's infamous Duck tours to make sure we started off on the right foot. It meant we could take in the sights and sounds of Nashville, Tennessee aboard a fully restored DUKW amphibious vehicle from World War II. It's half boat and half truck (they have them in London too - remember, Mum?!). This was a perfect introduction to Nashville as they also gave great commentary on the way round. Unfortunately, only Mike J could actually understand our guide but he caught us all up on the info afterwards! (See the video below and tell us if YOU can understand every word!)
The highlight of the trip was when we entered the water and I got the chance to steer the 25 nervous members of public for around 10 minutes
By this time, we were starving (OK, it was me but the rest were up for food too) so we made our way to the Big River Brewing Company where Mike B proceeded to order (completely by accident, so he tells us) a 22-ounce beer ... big enough to fall into and swim around for a while.
In the afternoon, it was getting very hot and humid. Sure enough, a rainstorm came along and we decided to spend a few hours inside the famous Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Opry. The tour took us backstage to the dressing rooms and we also got to hear the soundcheck of the band that was to play later on this evening (see video below).
Mike J is soooo excited to be in Nashville - this is his dream come true and he's walking around with the biggest grin on his face. As he says himself, he's "died and gone to heaven"!
Mike and Jenny were so impressed with Ruby Tuesday that we returned for our evening meal before heading back downtown to have our first experience of the Nashville nightlife
And what a nightlife! It was awesome! Music poured from every bar and restaurant along Music Mile. It was hard to take in so many sights and sounds.We eventually started at a duelling piano bar known as The Big Bang, where entertainers take a seat on stage behind two grand pianos and combine music, comedy and audience participation. I loved it! (Wasn't too sure about the servers wearing t-shirts with "Bang This!" on the front though!) Check out the videos below for a taste of the Big Bang.
We then moved onto our next bar called Legends listening to country rock, and then ended up at Layla's Bluegrass Inn listening to hillbilly and country and watching a man "slappin' da bass" (anyone seen I Love You Man?)!
Tomorrow, more Nashville! Can we take the pace?

Learn how to build a simple pond.
By Doug Inkley
A backyard pond can be just about as simple or complex as you want it to be. In fact, you can start out with a simple design, which I recommend, and then gradually make it as complex as you want. If you're just getting started, don't let the diagrams you've seen...kidney-shaped ponds lined with fancy rock, a fountain in the center, bi-level, etc., get the best of you. Just go out and dig a hole in the ground, pad it with sand (old carpet works very well too) to even out the rough spots and protect the liner, and then install the liner. When you've filled the liner with water, add a few plants from a local nursery and you're done. Oh yes, one more important thing, you'll have to spend lots of time watching all the critters.
If you want something a little more complex, that's quite easy too. Make the difficult job of digging the hole easier by spreading it out over a few weeks. If your soil is clayey like mine, spraying the excavation edges with water after each digging session will loosen it up for next time. If you're using a preformed liner, place it on the ground first to mark the shape you'll dig. With a PVC or rubber fabric liner, be sure not to dig the hole so large that there isn't enough liner to cover the hole and some distance back from the edge. It's a good idea to have flat areas - both on the bottom and on shelves that flank the sides. A good flat bottom area will offer you secure footing as you finish shaping and digging your pond. Dig your pond at least one foot and preferably 2-3 feet deep. Use the dirt you removed to contour and cover the edges of the liner. If your pond site yields lots of roots and rocks, digging will be harder and you'll need to make an extra effort in protecting that liner. Old carpet is ideal for covering jagged edges and poking root stubs. After you're sure your liner covers that hole well, the fun part begins. Turn on the hose, grab a soda and watch it fill.
If you're like me, you want to attract frogs. The best way, the experts say, is to leave fish out of your pond. They'll eat most of the frog eggs and tadpoles. But, I like fish! Besides, you can have fish and some frogs, too, by creating lots of hiding and feeding cover for the frogs. I put some leaves and branches in my ponds. These provide cover as well as added nutrients and structure for small tadpole and frog foods to prosper. Piles of rocks, emerging as islands, and healthy emergent vegetation are also important as they provide emerging and perching places for frogs and for other pond life like dragonflies. Don't make the sides too steep as it will be very difficult for the frogs and other animals that may venture into the pond to escape. With many nooks and crannies, like in a natural pond, the frogs will have a chance. You can jumpstart your pond with frogs, if you'll pardon the pun. Contact a local nature center or resource agency and find out about tadpole relocation efforts that may already be underway. Ask if you can obtain some tadpoles for your pond. If you don't want to go to all that trouble, worry not as chances are the frogs will find their own way to your pond. As you can see, making a frog pond is simple. Yes, it takes some effort and time, but I found just creating it to be almost as much fun as enjoying it afterwards.

GLORY Releasing GLORY 12 Super Fight Series Fights on Saturday
- Written by Dave Walsh
Trust us, we get it, the whole Super Fight Series thing is mildly confusing at times, as it is basically like old pro wrestling events where you go to a live show but before hand another show is taped, which will air at a later date, while the main show will air live. That is basically what happens at GLORY live events right now and can create some mild confusion when it comes to what actually constitutes a numbered GLORY event or not.
Anyway, we are almost two weeks past GLORY 12 and now this weekend we can expect to see the GLORY Super Fight Series from GLORY 12 on GloryWorldSeries.com. This means that the six undercard fights that you've been waiting for will be available starting this Saturday. Enjoy.

Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the drawing for The Mailbox, by Marybeth Whalen, is:
email@example.com@ . . .
And the winner of the drawing for my novel, Sunset Beach, is:
beautifulmomentsofjoyandpeace@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you both today for your snail mail addresses, and we'll get your books to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's meet novelist Jamie Carie, author of Angel's Den, (B&H Publishing, February 2010).
Jamie Carie is an inspirational fiction novelist who believes in the power of "story" to touch hearts and change lives. She is the author of Snow Angel, a USA Book News winner for Best Romance of 2007, a ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year award winner and a RITA Awards® finalist. She is the author of several historical romances and her first novella, The Snowflake, out later this year.
Jamie lives in Indiana with her husband, three boys and a giant of a dog named Leo.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
-- When my boys were little I was a part of the puppet ministry at church (my father-in-law gave us several awesome puppets from the 80's). It was so much fun!
-- I rarely enjoy cooking but don't mind cleaning the house and laundry. I've often told my husband that, in my dream world, I would rather have a cook than a maid.
-- I love sports cars and fast driving with the music cranked--though I try to keep it around the speed limit.
-- One of my greatest fears is public speaking--but I try to practice what Joyce Meyers preaches and "do it afraid" when opportunities arise.
-- I love writing the first few pages of a new novel. That's the closest I will ever get to cliff diving.
I would say fast driving in your sports car is somewhat close to cliff diving, too!
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Angel's Den.
When Emma Montclaire says "I do" she thinks she is beginning her fairy tale life. But it doesn't take her new husband, the famed most handsome man west of the Appalachians, long to disabuse her of any fantasies. As the abuse escalates and turns physical, Emma prays for a way out.
Cartographer Luke Bowen is delighted when Eric Montclaire hires him for an expedition to follow the trail Lewis and Clark blazed a few years earlier to the Pacific Ocean. But something's not right. Why has Montclaire insisted his wife accompany them? And why does Emma Montclaire seem so . . . haunted?
The challenge to follow God's rescue plan and not their own will be daunting--requiring faith, trust and longsuffering when it looks like God has abandoned them. But the God who made them knows them and all they can endure. His plan of rescue unfolds in a way neither of them could have imagined.
What is it about your lead character that will make your readers care about her?
I think readers will care about Emma because what happens to her could happen to any of us. She starts out as a young, hopeful innocent who views the world as good and safe. When her husband turns from angel to monster (think - Sleeping With the Enemy starring Julia Roberts) all her illusions are shattered. There are times in most of our lives where the sin and evil of the world reaches in and tries to destroy us. The Bible warns in 1 Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (NIV) But God always has a plan of salvation. I hope that the journey that readers go on with Emma will encourage them and build their faith that God can accomplish anything on behalf of those who love Him.
You have an excellent point about why readers will identify with Emma. That battle is universally experienced.
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
If you like suspense, unexpected plot twists and a satisfying ending, I think you will enjoy this story.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
My protagonist, Emma Montclair: I'm thinking a Scarlett Johansson type. She's so pretty!
She really is. Stunning.
My hero, Luke Bowen: Maybe a version of Hugh Jackman?
The antagonist, Eric Montclaire - Tom Cruise, definitely Tom Cruise.
What is one thing you've learned about yourself as a result of your writing career?
Being creative every day (every day I sit down to write anyway) is harder than I imagined. When I first started writing I wrote when the mood struck me, which was pretty often, but now I write on a schedule and it has been challenging. I'm still trying to figure out the best schedule for myself.
I hear you. Scheduling is such a left-hemisphere activity, and it's hard to make it fit the right-hemisphere activity of creating!
Choose an inanimate object to represent you. Explain what you have in common with that object.
Wow, great question! I'm going to go with a rainbow. The colors represent the different aspects of me--my created being. But if you split them with a prism they turn back to their original source of white light, which represents my spirit made in the image of God and redeemed by Jesus. I learned a lot about light while writing my fourth book, Love's First Light. I'm amazed at the complexity and beauty of the science of light. We've only scratched the surface of what God has created to point us back to Him. It is astonishing--the wonders He has made!
What a lovely analogy!
What is the last book you read that moved you?
I've been reading Faith to Live by Derek Prince and it is mind blowing for me! He has a way of explaining things so that I feel like light bulbs are going off in my head. Also, I really change. We read all of these books and sometimes catch a truth here and there but for it to stick and change us? That's the Holy Spirit in action. This book is doing that with me.
What are you working on now?
I am currently finishing up my sixth book for B&H Publishing which I have tentatively titled Pirate of my Heart. It's about an American sea captain who enjoys his bachelorhood too much to consider settling down and the English Earl's daughter, Lady Kendra Townsend, who must flee to America on board his ship. Sparks fly as they fight their attraction. Dorian Colburn is determined to remain independent (even from God) and Lady Kendra is determined to always do the right thing. She reminds herself of the fruit of the spirit as needed by silently shouting out the words--love, patience, kindess, etc. to herself in a hopefully humorous way. It is a bit lighter and lots of fun. I've enjoyed being swept away as they discover their love and I hope the reader will too.

By Lisa Voyles/Chickasaw Journal
HOULKA – "I'm done with it," said Houlka Alderman Johnny Butler about the town seeking resort status.
Over 20 residents attended the Nov. 6 board meeting and the overwhelming majority was not in favor of the status, which could allow alcohol to be sold within the city limits. Those in favor of the status believed it would draw in new business and/or tourism with the completion of the Tanglefoot Trail bike and walking path that runs from New Albany to Houston.
Board attorney Jimmy Hood said the issue was moot because the town could not be granted resort status under a local and private bill. Hood said the matter would have to go to a city referendum and the city would need to have a population of at least 1,500. At the 2010 census, Houlka's population was 626 residents.
"I would be in favor of doing what the majority wants, but at 1,500 it seems to me it's no go," said Alderman Beverly Davidson. "We don't have 1,500 people."
Hood said the state legislature would have to propose a bill to grant the town a designation of resort status.
"There's no need in considering something that won't matter unless they change the law," said Mayor Jimmy Kelly. "In my opinion, they cannot pass that legislation with only 500 people."
The board agreed not to pursue resort status further.
The board entered into a contract with the Houlka Nazarene Church to sell a piece of city property to the church for $10,000 to be used by the church for future expansion.
In other matters, the board
* Asked for costs on repairing or replacing a sewer machine
* Asked Hood to research options on rebidding a sewer project that came in over budget

Retoucher 7
Restore your damaged photos to their former glory with Retoucher 7 Image Restoration Software!
Would you like to make an original present for your family members? Why not restore their old photos from the family archives. Preserve your precious family memories forever by digitally repairing your old damaged prints!
- Restore old and damaged photos from your family archive by removing scratches, stains and other defects
- Improve the composition of your photos by removing the date stamp, distracting details (wires, refuse bins, etc) and by extending the photo canvas (increase the image canvas and the plug-in will recreate the image patterns in the blank areas)
- Reconstruct missing parts of the photo (to restore a torn photo, in polygraphy to extend the borders of a layout that does not have space for cropping).
- Remove larger and complex objects (people, cars, buildings).
Not only can you removes dust, scratches, stains and other defects that appear on damaged photos but is also able to reconstruct missing parts of a photo using the information of the surrounding areas.
The work is done automatically; you only have to indicate areas to be restored, push the Run button, and here you are - the surface becomes smooth and imperfections disappear. It looks like magic when you see the scratches vanishing before your very eyes!
This is also a handy tool for improving photo composition. It is possible to remove date stamps, small irrelevant details (wires, refuse bins, etc) and even bigger objects (i.e. people who appear in the shot by accident, cars in the background).
If you need to increase the canvas size (from one side or proportionally) to bring the main object into focus, i.e. to center it, Retoucher will help you to extend image patterns to the blank areas of the canvas.
Polygraphists will find Retoucher useful in doing the prepress processing job. They often have the problem of extending the borders of a layout that does not have space for cropping.

The government, seizing an opportunity to capitalize on deep public anti-cell-phone-company sentiment, claims that Canadians needed more competition in the wireless business in order to lower prices and improve service for consumers. But if the problem isn't lack of competition, but lack of transparency and terrible customer service, then expensive ad campaigns are not the answer, nor is artificial, taxpayer-funded, unsustainable interference in the market to force more competition. We need facts, not propaganda.
Last time, I took the Commission to task for trying to build excitement over the level of cellphone penetration in Canada in their consultation video. Why? Because the only metric that really counts in 2012 is the takeup of smartphones: smartphones do data, feature phones don't. Let's consider penetration in a more meaningful context.
Back in the summer of 2010, the CRTC decided to get the public's input online as part of its proceeding on the "obligation to serve." Big mistake. There's a habit that's getting entrenched at the Commission: treating online consultations as a substitute for both educating Canadian consumers and conducting real research.

No longer cornering the market
The way Joe Whitt sees it, the Green Bay Packers could have so many options at cornerback next season that Tramon Williams will be competing for a starting job.
The Packers cornerbacks coach said Tuesday during the final assistant coach availability of the season that third-year man Sam Shields rebounded so well, rookie Casey Hayward burst onto the scene so impressively and second-year man Davon House showed enough promise that it'll be a four-way competition for the two starting spots and third cornerback in the nickel defense.
"I tell you what, the group is going to be very competitive moving forward. We have a number of guys that it's going to be interesting who the guys are going to be that run out there Day 1. Because right now, I couldn't tell you who's going to do what because of the way that Sam and Casey have played," Whitt said. "With Tramon and House there, there are four guys that are vying for two spots, maybe three with nickel. It'll be interesting to see who gets them.
"I wouldn't say (Williams) is on the downside, I would say that Sam's picked up his level of play, Casey probably played better than any of you all expected him to play and probably played better than I expected him to play. So the competition in the room has gotten better, and so that's the case. I think Tramon, he graded out pretty well in most games. He covered pretty good. Just the competition in the room has improved.
"I believe in not allowing anybody to be comfortable. We don't work in a business that you can get comfortable and so the guys, we'll always say, their play will dictate who runs through the tunnel. The guys that play the best will play. That practice the best, that have the best tests. We're about winning championships, and we fell short. And that's our charge. We're going to put the guys out there that are doing the best. If it's a different guy each week, that's what it will be. We're going to do that."
While Williams rebounded from a shoulder injury-derailed 2011 season, he was up-and-down for much of the year and did not play well in the Packers' 45-31 NFC Divisional Playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Williams had only two interceptions on the season – both against Chicago on Sept. 13 – and was credited with 22 pass breakups. According to ProFootballFocus.com, Williams played 1,240 snaps over 18 games (including playoffs) and allowed 63 completions in 115 targets for 852 yards, missed six tackles and had an opponent QB rating of 77.2 against him. Against the 49ers, he allowed six completions for 75 yards, according to the site.
"I think a lot of people were thinking that he was going to get back to his 2010 performance, and the performance he had that year if you go back and remember was really outstanding. And that's what we want," Whitt said. "You know … "
Whitt then paused for several seconds. "To say that I'm disappointed, no, because I know what he did week-in and week-out and what we ask him to do," Whitt said. "Does he feel like he can play better in certain situations? I'm sure he does. But I know the positions we put him in, and we put him in some difficult positions that other people aren't asked to be put in."
According to Whitt, the plan for 2013 would be to have Hayward and Shields share in the challenging matchups next season, much as Williams and Charles Woodson did in 2010. For example, in the Packers' two games against Detroit's Calvin Johnson that year, they matched Woodson on Johnson in one game and Williams on him in the other.
"Now the question is, have Sam and Casey picked up their play where they can be put in some of those situations and so it's an equal playing field?" Whitt said. "We're putting Tramon in positions that we're not even putting Sam and Casey in. How do they handle it if they're put in that same situation? In 2010, he wasn't put in as many because you had Woodson there as well.
"Now, there is no Woodson (since he moved to safety), so Tramon was put in all the difficult matchups. What I have to ask is, 'Is Sam to the point where he can handle those difficult matchups? Is Casey to the point where he can get those difficult matchups and balance this thing out?' Now, the play will look more like 2010 because he's not in all those critical situations that he was the past two years."

E-ZPass-only turnpike could cost cash customers plenty
If you drive the Pennsylvania Turnpike every day, you've probably heard the cash lanes may be going away.
The turnpike is considering going E-ZPass-only, but you might be surprised how much it could cost you if you don't buy one.
Toll plazas would be replaced with express lanes like the one on Interstate 78 at the Delaware River bridge.
"I think in the long run it's probably the way to go," said driver Steve Shairpo of Scranton.
Not all drivers are on board, though.
"I just think pushing people to get it is not the way to do things," said Ray Middleton from Wilkes-Barre.
The commission said the long-term savings are hard to ignore. A consultant's report estimates keeping toll collectors would cost $123 million for the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
Going cashless drops it to $83 million, according to the report. That's a potential $40 million savings. It would, however, also cost an initial $320 million to make the conversion.
Those figures make a big assumption: that most drivers who get a violation notice in the mail actually pay it. To offset those losses, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported drivers who don't use E-ZPass and simply drive through the E-ZPass lanes could get hit with a 76 percent surcharge.
"That seems like a lot," said Middleton. "It's too much."
A turnpike commission spokesman told 69 News it's likely to be closer to 50 percent but even that would tack on a extra $1.50 each way for commuters from the Lehigh Valley to Philadelphia.
"That is ridiculous," said Wilkes-Barre driver Katherine Lietz. "That's literally 'highway robbery.'"
Shapiro thinks drivers need to embrace the change and the savings that could come with it.
"It's high, but I think it's going to push people into doing what they need to do and get the E-ZPass," he said.
If the Pennsylvania Turnpike goes cashless, it would be the first statewide road network in the U.S. to do so.
Right now, the idea is just a proposal. The commission will soon hire a program-management firm to oversee the next phase of the study.

Perfecting the modern craft of wood furniture design and manufacturing, Mattiazzi has a history of design, craft, industrial processes, and sustainable practices. Based in Udine, Italy, the company has over 30 years of experience in crafting wood, by hand and with advanced machinery. Mattiazzi products balance beauty and comfort, communicating to the senses the warmth and familiarity of solid wood.
Mattiazzi has been on the cutting edge of woodworking and furniture design since 1978, when brothers Nevio and Fabiano Mattiazzi founded the company. Since then, the company has developed a network of wood shops in their region that are diverse enough to support any manufacturing process the brand may need. Shops specialize in all aspects of woodcraft - from milling to lacquering. Their highly specialized craftsmen operate the most sophisticated machinery available to the wood industry. Specialized milling machines, for example, allow wood to take the complex shapes associated with injection-molded plastic. Operating such a machine is an art and Mattiazzi has pioneered and perfected the modern craft of mechanized manufacturing. All products are crafted, finished and hand-inspected through every step of manufacturing and assembly to produce wood furniture of impeccable quality and flawless design.
After graduating from the design academy in Eindhoven, Holland, Nitzan Cohen spent many years as a designer and project leader at Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design in Munich. In 2007, he established his own multi-disciplinary studio, where he and his team work on a variety of projects, ranging from household items to exhibit spaces, for clients including BMW-Group, Diesel, Mattiazzi, and Bree.
Cohen says he loves working on furniture, especially chairs, because "they relate most to the body; there is a constant relationship to people, and there really are no boundaries when designing it: you can do things with a chair that you could never do with any other objects. In terms of scale, character, and features, a chair is often the most 'outspoken' piece in the room."View other products by Nitzan Cohen

Sortino wins Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarship
Posted July 26, 2006; 06:06 p.m.
Kelly Sortino, a 2003 Princeton graduate, has been awarded a Jack
Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarship. The scholarships provide
each winner with up to $300,000 for the length of their graduate or
professional degree programs.
Sortino was one of 77 winners of the Cooke scholarships, selected from 1,100 nominees from colleges and universities throughout the United States. She plans to pursue master's degrees in business administration and education in a joint degree program at Stanford University.
Sortino, who is from Willow Springs, Ill., was a summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate who majored in art and archaeology and earned a certificate in teacher preparation. As an undergraduate she served as the artistic director of a dance company, the curator of an independent film festival and the business manager and sales director of the student-run radio station. She also was a resident adviser and a member of the varsity golf team. Since graduating, Sortino has worked as a Princeton admission officer, a leader of the University's Ghana Cultural Immersion Program and a middle-school language arts teacher.
Sortino hopes to become a leader in education. She believes that earning an M.B.A. and a master's in education will give her the skills to work at the intersection of the not-for-profit and for-profit sectors.
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is a private, independent foundation established in 2000 by the estate of former Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke to help young people of exceptional promise reach their full potential through education.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Permits and Tarpoon
It`s usually great fishing around the atolls. The Tarpon are much larger and the Permits fight heartier
blue horizon
Spent a week at Blue Horizon, we did see a few permit but the fishing was very tough. The food was good and the guides were good but I wonder if the fishing pressure has had an affect on available permit or the shrimp boats that use to clean the shrimp and then hand line for permit in that area have, supposedly that activity has stopped.
Thanks for the report. It's good have great details about the species, best fishing season and some locations for futuer reference.
New to this forum but I will delve into my Belize experiences. I have fished down there for the past 7 years for primarily permit. For the first 5 years, I fished for 7-10 days in April or May, and had success on each trip. One thing I noticed though is that this correlated to the peak season and while the flats were not over crowded you were often not alone. Last year I decided to fish for 8 days with Lincoln Westby in January. He was upfront on the weather and let me know that I could loose a day or two to weather. It was a gamble I was willing to take in return for some solitude. They day I arrived was overcast and rainy as a strong front approached and the next day was less than desirable weather wise; however, we were able to sneak in a quick fish in between squalls and bring a permit to the boat. The next 6 days the weather was perfect and we experienced numerous shots everyday with 3 more permit landed for a total of 4 for the 8day trip.
Based on this experience, I am heading back again in January in 2014. For me, I am willing to take the gamble of bad weather in return for the possible reward of fish that have seen relatively little pressure over the past several months.
A couple of things to keep in mind with Belize. If tarpon are your primary target then look at May into the summer when the migratory fish show up. There are residents that can be found year round but I would plan to fish for other species if outside of the migratory season. The Pelican range that I have fished with Lincoln/Blue Horizon has tons of permit but very few bonefish. Tarpon are around but it depends on whether or not the bait is around...if concentrated the fishing can be lights out for tarpon in the 40-60-lb range. Decide what you want to fish for and then do the research on the desirable areas. For example, the Turneffe Atoll has lots of bones on the Oceanside reefs that run larger than the small runts you often hear Belize associated with. Permit are also plentiful on the Oceanside flats as well as the inner lagoon. You will find tarpon in the cuts there and some large ones at that but it is primarily blind casting with an intermediate or sinking line. This could be a disappointment if you have your heart set on sight fishing the flats for them there. I would be hesitant with fishing around Belize City with the exception maybe being the Belize River for tarpon, and I would not devote a whole trip to that personally. Lots of gill netting in the past and closer to a big population center so it will receive more pressure. Never targeted snook down there so I can't really weigh in on the quality of fishing for them in Belize.
Give Turneffe a chance
Sorry to hear your experience of fishing in Belize was not all it panned out to be, but off the coast of Belize in the Turneffe Atol is where you will get a great chance to catch Tarpon, Snook and of course Bonefish. email@example.com
|I get the feeling that the last three paragraphs were all tongue-in-cheek. If so, well done, as you had me going for awhile. They need to come up with a true tongue-in-cheek emoticom (or not.)
well, in the interest of generating some posts...
What's the deal with snook? I just don't get it.
Bonefish has the beauty and strong runs, and they are often caught sight fishing in picturesque flats, leaving the angler with memories that will last a lifetime. The first time experiencing a feeding frenzy of tailing bones, where the tails reflect the low afternoon sun and light up the entire flat like Chinese lanterns, is almost a life changing event. The bigger ones can easily take 150 yards of backing from your reel, and the whole fish is essentially one big muscle, having escaped evolution with pure speed, paranoia and the ability to change their reflective color earning the name grey ghost. The perfect entry point to any tropical fishing, and when beyond the mini/size of Belize/Mexico, it's really the perfect gamefish, easily DIY-ed, and many fly fishermen, myself included, are in no hurry to advance through the ranks of species, because bonefishing can be fantastic.
Then of course the Permit, the elusive and notoriously difficult jack derivative, causing grey hairs in fishermen for years, often regarded as the top prize for any fisherman with single-digit AFTM class rod. Still of course sight fishing, that makes every fish special, and in permit circles one counts the spottings and attempts, and not just the caught ones. Catching a permit is a big deal, and its reluctance to eat a fly just makes it more interesting to the circle of addicts. Again this truly is a game of skill as cast, presentation and fly must be perfect, conceptually it is very similar to nymphing for a very selective brown trout, it really is the fisherman outsmarting a fish in a very specific way. Catching a big permit would crown any fly fishing career.
And continuing, there is of course the tarpon, the giant herring that grows to ridiculous sizes for any sane person to attempt with a fly rod, but apparently that only makes it more addictive. The tarpon is infamous for wild jumping, in an attempt to lose the fly, it can dance across the surface like nothing else, an excellent showman that grow so large that if one should manage to land a big one, you need to wide-angle camera to fit the fish in a picture. Very addictive fishing, and mostly sight fishing at that.
And then, of course the barracuda. I am in complete awe of this fish, the speed and predatory instincts of this species are truely amazing. They can jump like tarpon, and they can snag any prey in two with the precision and speed unmatched in the flats environments, even by sharks. And you can find them pretty much anywhere. Not very easy to catch on a fly, unless you can make long casts, but stripping your line when you see big cuda racing after your fly is fantastic fun, and their take is often so hard that hook-shank, wired leader and any knot would be lucky to survive it. Not as well suited for fly fishing and not usually a whole-day thing, but still, yeah I love the cudas.
and so on...
But what about the snook? In my mind, it has has absolutely nothing to offer. No blistering runs. No predatory instinct and ability like the cuda. It does not have the size of permit and tarpon, and as far as I know you blind fish after it around mangroves, and 99% of the time from a boat. And when you get one on the line, it remains utterly unspectacular, a little splashing at best, no strong runs, it's not a fish made for high speed swimming or acrobatics, it's made to lurk around mangroves unwilling to explore the its surroundings full of adventure. It's a fish that has given up the moment it is born. And after an unspectacular fight, you can land the thing. And it looks like a cod, which also describes how it fights. At least you can eat the cod...
Surely the snook is nothing more than a bi-product from real fishing. It's the equivalent of hunting seagulls with a gun, it's just not something you do, except as a distraction when opportunity finds you, not the other way around.
Never fished for snook in my life, but I'm headed for Ascension Bay a little later this month, and after I fail to catch permit, I might go snook fishing. I do not expect to like it.
One More Comment
Some interesting feedback. Thanks to all who replied. Life is a learning curve as long as we're on the planet. I'll follow the leads on the baby tarpon and snook.
I just wanted to say something about the Belize guides that may have been misunderstood.
I guided for steelhead on the Deschutes for a number of years and so, know a little bit about how a guide's mind works. People always tell you the experience is the thing and they don't care whether they catch fish or not.
Bull ****
If they didn't want to catch fish, they'd be off bird-watching somewhere.
It's fish. And it's fish (or at least action) at satisfying intervals. Steelhead are tough. Two fish a day is a respectable and desireable bag. Getting skunked is not unheard of. Landing five per day is a cause for celebration (at least in my circles).
Baby tarpon and Snook, where they are supposed to be abundant, on the other hand, are a different story. One expects action every day, landing the buggers or not. Decent probing of the mangrove pockets should pull one out every now and then. That's been my experience in Florida on Captiva/Sanibel, anyway.
So, there's the guide. Watching his sports casting their brains out for nothing and thinking, "God, where can I get these guys into fish." The guide runs here and the guide runs there with the same blank result. He's going nuts.
"Well", he thinks, "there are always bonefish. Maybe we can catch some of those they'll be happy and I'll feel better about this whole frustrating mess."
So, sort of intuiting this, I wasn't fishing for the bonefish because I wanted to. I was fishing for bonefish so the guide wouldn't feel so frustrated.
And, by the way, I have the utmost respect for the guides I fished with. They are knowledgeable, conscientious and hard working. Please understand that. They were doing their best to show us a good time; the stars just happened to be aligned against it, through no fault of theirs.
And, yes, the bone fish of Belize (at least where we were) are minis. They looked like brook trout patrolling a cirque lake.
And that's -30- for tonight, friends.
|Belize in January...been there done that and got the t shirt. Wouldn't go back then. Weather too unreliable. Fully understand wanting out of winter and a warm water break, but January can be tough in the northern hemisphere.
I generally don't like fishing flats in January. The weather makes it a crap shoot. I've fished belize two times and I thought the fishing was good with a wide range of opportunities. But I fished in march and the end of February (still a little early for my liking).
I would chalk up your experience to bad luck (no amount of money will trump luck). If you didn't like the guides, I wouldn't fish with them again. Having said that, a guide really only wants you to have a good time (catching fish). I suspect threw grew frustrated when their suggestions to catch bone fish were rebuffed. I usually go with the guides pick if things aren't going my way.
It's a big ocean with plenty of fish in the sea.
LOL - thanks Eric, but no worries my friend. People will post when things thaw out over most of the nation I'm sure.
BTW all of the years of activity with all it's peaks and valleys has made it quite the archive of knowledge! I just used the search option to research my upcoming trip.
Thanks, Doc,
I appreciate your reply, but, frankly, bones are not my thing. Unless fish jump out of the water, I'm not terribly interested.
Then, too, a lot of planes seem to be crashing going to and from The Rocks.
A mighty high five to you, though, because at least you replied to my post. I don't know why Juro's site is so dead. I really thought my post on my thoroughly unreliable, yet expensive, celebrity reel would get some comments.
But no.
People read this stuff. But don't comment.
I'm the anti-musician, but I play trombone and recorder in several musical groups. The traffic on the these sites is Olympic medal caliber. When I post on The Trombone Forum (there really is such a thing, believe me), I can't get through a short post before a pop-up informs me someone is already posting to the thread.
So, what's my point here? People are reading this. There's a counter going all the time. Why aren't people posting? Juro bled his life's blood to make this work. Please, if you have something to say about any of the idiotic things I post, or the very helpful things others post, please comment and keep this
Forum alive and lively.
Petri heil,
Last Trombone in Waldport
|I know you said you were into tarpon and snook, and that you're terrible with bones. But if you want a great, I mean GREAT trip for bones, go to Los Roques. It's the best place I've been to for bonefish. They're plentiful and on average, a nice size. Most of the fish we've caught there were in the 3-4 pound range, and there were always big ones around. It's about $4K for a week there.
yikes - doesn't sound like a fun trip Eric
There are still some great DIY opportunities out there, at least you can really do what you want although the results aren't always better it would drive me totally nuts to have no choice of what to chase after.
As a guide, if the clients ask for a certain experience that I felt isn't the most promising I would accommodate as long as they understand the situation. Perhaps after a day or two one would acquiesce, but it would be your own choice and it sounds like they pushed you into doing what they wanted to do instead.
Puerto Rico is a great place for tarpon, but NOT the San Juan lagoon thing unless you want to squeeze a quickie in while you're near the airport. Look into the west end, Porta Del Sol where the locals go on their vacations. There are guides, but also boat rentals and lagoons with lots of tarpon and other species. I've seen permit in the 30# class as well, although was too occupied with the tarpon to change flies.
Bahamas bonefish, or better yet Hawaiian bones might change your mind about them too - I have heard those Mexi-bones are minnows.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) ended the day up ₩8,000, or 0.6%, at ₩1,307,000, in Seoul trading, after the company announced Q4 results in line with a pre-announcement, showing growth in chips and mobile products. The company warned, however, that demand for mobile may be weaker than is typical for the season this quarter.
Bernstein Research's Mark Newman, who has an Outperform rating and a ₩2,000,000 price target on the shares, this morning writes that "Looking into the months ahead, we expect the common shares to remain challenged as sustainability of handset profits continues to be a key overhang on the stock," though he likes the stock as a "compelling long," especially on the prospect of an ADR listing at some point.
Jefferies & Co.'s Hyunwoo Doh reiterates a Buy rating this morning on Samsung shares, but cut his target price to ₩1,700,000 target from ₩1,800,000, writing that return on equity is going lower, at 19% this year and 17% through 2015, versus 23% last year, given lower profitability.
Semiconductor analyst Robert Maire of Semiconductor Advisors notes that " Samsung has decided to get cautious and is keeping its capex flat for 2014 over 2013 for its initial planning" and that this is "the first time since the financial crisis that in 2009 that they haven't increased their capex."
"It would seem that even though they have retained a lot of Apple chip business that TSMC couldn't handle, even that wasn't enough of a reason to keep spending," he observes.
Maire writes he's cautious about an expected recovery in chip equipment sales this year, noting that "We have now heard that Intel will be flat to down in capex […Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)] TSMC also announced flat capex and now Samsung is getting conservative and going to flat capex as well." From which he concludes, "Maybe my calculator is broken but I still have a hard time getting to the 15% capex increase many are calling for or even the 10% capex KLAC mentioned on their call tonight."
Speaking of KLA Tencor (KLAC), the stock is down 53 cents, or 0.9%, at $63, after reporting fiscal Q2 revenue and earnings per share ahead of Street consensus, and forecasting revenue this quarter higher as well.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are up 62 cents, or 1.7%, at $36.67, after the company last night reported better-than-expected fiscal Q2 results but offered a revenue outlook this quarter a little under what the Street has been looking for.
Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund reiterates a Buy rating and a $45 price target, writing that likes what CFO Amy Hood is doing to manage costs, but the challenge of the board, and any incoming CEO will be to "permit long overdue changes in product strategy and direction, cadence and tempo of product releases now expected by mobile consumers and enterprise users, and a change in culture and orientation around the realization of shareholder value."
Sherlund attributes the shortfall in outlook to Microsoft being "more cautious on Xbox in a seasonally slower quarter after the big launch quarter and a more cautious estimate of Office going forward."
Shares of touch-sensor maker Synaptics (SYNA) are up $2.25, or almost 4%, at $59.16, after the company yesterday afternoon beat fiscal Q2 revenue expectations, but missed on the bottom line and forecast this quarter's profit below expectations as well.
The stock got at least one upgrade this morning, that I can see. Jeffrey Schreiner of Feltl & Co. raised his rating to Buy from Hold, and raised his price target to $67 from $52, writing that after "several years of being negative or neutral" on the stock, he now thinks he has indications Synaptics has won the touch-sensor contract for Samsung's forthcoming "Galaxy S5" smartphone.
He cites as "data points" the that "March guidance outpaced prior consensus (believe upside was potentially due to Validity); SYNA suggested one reason they didn't breakout biometric revenues was due to strategic reasons; SYNA moved forward expected timeframe for accretion from Validity; Reports out of Korea confirming fingerprint sensor in Galaxy S5."
Shares of Juniper Networks (JNPR) are up $2.35, or 9%, at $28.36, after the company yesterday afternoon beat Q4 expectations and forecast this quarter in line, and CEO Shaygan Kheradpir said he would seek a dialogue with investors, alluding to activists Elliott Management, who have taken a 6% positions in the stock insisting that the company cut costs and step up its return of cash to shareholders.
The shares have gotten at least three ratings upgrades this morning, with Goldman Sachs raising the stock to a Neutral from a Sell, Barclays hiking it to Overweight from Equal Weight, and William Blair upgrading to Outperform from Market Perform.
William Blair's Jason Ader cites "solid momentum" in sales of routing equipment, and and a "reaccelerating in switching equipment," and something called the "integrated operating plan (IOP)," which is inspired by Elliott Management's activism, and "which is to be announced in a matter of weeks." The IOP, as Ader calls it, will be get rid of underperforming product lines and focus R&D more tightly, among other initiatives.

Contraceptive Pill and Breastfeeding
Hi. I was hoping someone here could help me make a decision as to what would be the best type of the pill for someone who is breastfeeding. I have a one year old son who does not want to have anything to do with formula, but I have PCOS and would like to start taking the pill to correct my hormonal imbalances. I have read somewhere that the pill is contraindicated to breastfeeding, but I was wondering, is there any formulation I could use that would still allow me to continue breastfeeding my son? Thanks for any help or opinion I can get.
29th July 2012 07:34 AM #2
Hi Xamismum,
There are natural ways that can help you to manage PCOS that would allow you to continue breastfeeding without having to worry about the negative effects of hormones on you and baby.
These include dietary and lifestyle changes such as eating foods which are low on the Glycemic Index or eating a low carb/high protein diet. Regular exercise can have a largely positive impact on PCOS. You can go for a walk every day for 45 minutes. While you're walking, don't stop, even to let the dog do his business. You'll want to walk continuously for 45 minutes.
Strength training is very helpful for women with PCOS and for diabetics because it uses more sugar in the blood than other exercises. This is something you can easily do at home - just grab a couple of 2 liter bottles, fill with water, and do strength building exercises. You can also do this with canned goods. You could also take a couple of cans of soup on your walk, and swing your arms, for a greater benefit.
Here's a video to give you another idea of how to do strength training at home.
A natural health practitioner can assist you with this. You might also like to visit the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Association of Australia website.
There are low dose contraceptive pills which would probably be okay for a breastfeeding mum but I'd check with your doctor on this. I will also let our resident midwife, Jane, know that your question is here to see what her thoughts are.

Not all birth control is contraindicated during breastfeeding. The low dose, mini pill, as well as the IUD are generally considered safe for breastfeeding.
Best of luck!

Thank you very much Kate, and Angela: I have been doing exercises and been on a diabetic diet. My wanting to use a pill for my PCOS is to help with the ugly effects of PCOS in my face. I have big acnes and when you are a 35 year old woman, it is very embarrassing to have this skin problem. It makes me feel very unattractive that I don't even like my husband looking me in the face.

There's a wonderful website for women with PCOS called Insulite. They have herbal formulas to help with PCOS.
Hormones can definitely wreak havoc on our face (i.e. acne) as I found that as I went into peri-menopause I got acne. Never had it during my teen years but I got it at menopause. I understand the feeling!

I never had pimples as a teenager but I have developed full-on acne recently. I do not have PCOS, as far as I know, I am breastfeeding, I am not on hormonal birth control. This doesn't really help you out but just wanted to let you know you are not alone!

CEPT by Infosec Institute
My employer has enrolled me in the dual CPT/CEPT course offered by Infosec Institute. I've completed the CPT, which I found quite easy as I am a pentester already. However, as I wade through the CEPT material I thought it would be a good idea to post here and see if anyone has done it, your experiences with the course and examinations and anything else you think would be a good idea to pass on. I've tried searching online and cannot find anything (positive or negative) about this course.

Now I've done my best to find the most up to date information, but I know that I'm missing some things. Please feel free to reply to this thread and I'll update this first post with the most up to date information. I considered including upcoming items from licensees too, but doing just the Pinnacle Products was daunting enough and I think it would be too much to try and maintain a list for all those products as well.
In some cases, I have used Pinnacle's or a Pinnacle Staffer's exact words for the descriptions of the products if they have provided a concrete description, otherwise I have just crafted my own based on the available information. Of course, none of this information is guaranteed to be accurate and, because delays happen and Joel gives obfuscated replies, please don't hold me or Pinnacle to the accuracy of any of these statements.
And now without further ado:

I just hope we don't have to watch a 15 minute fight with that chicken again.
Read about this a little earlier myself....looking forward to it.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I have a feeling no one will be quite as excited about this by the time Family Guy ROTJ comes along.
That's my jacket!
I hope they skip the Obi wan dialogue on dagobah. i'm pretty sick of herbert. he's just dull. given the cartoon style of ROTJ I think it'll come out best with FG characters though with cleveland as R2 who they gonna have play Lando? I guess ollie the weather man could be amusing. or seeing as it's pure fantasy Rufus Griffin. I can see Meg as a tauntaun.
Chris: Easy girl, easy.
Meg: Just get off me you fat B******!
I agree with Caesar, hope there is no 5 minute fist fight between the Chicken and Peter again. While funny, it gets drawn out.
I am happy that the chicken is Fett, couldnt have been better.

People will love it along with ROTJ (after they make it). Then in about 15-20 years later Seth McFarlin is going to change some stuff then people will get salty.
I think this could be one case where the prequels will be better than the OT (because you know they'd rip on them WAY WORSE than the OT) I hope they do all 6 but will be happy if it's just the OT, but thankfully there is money that could be made so .....

new Aqueon Evolve for my betta, questions about water flow
Hey all,
Just upgraded my boy from a Marineland 3 gal bowfront to an Aqueon Evolve 8. Thought he would enjoy some more room, and I wanted to give him some live plants (java fern and anubias). Previous tank was cycled. I modified the Evolve by drilling holes in the bottom of the media chamber and using AC Biomax and an AC sponge instead of the cartridge. Stuck the media from the old Tetra filter in there too, so I wouldn't have to put him through a cycle again. Tested tank tonight and parameters are all good.
He doesn't seem to appreciate his new home that much, and I'm not sure if it's just sulking or because of the current. He did eat last night and tonight, his normal piggy self. The pump is turned down to its lowest setting. Tried aiming the output nozzle toward his tree to disperse the flow a bit, which seemed to help, but I would still find him flat against the overflow grid. He would readily swim away from it with ease, so it wasn't like he was just stuck there because of flow - I wonder if it just made an easy resting spot for him. Anyway, tonight we put a sponge prefilter over the output, which definitely slowed down the flow even more. (While we were messing with it, I put my hand in front of the nozzle and it didn't seem very strong at all.) It just seems like there is now no flow in the tank at all. Surface is very still and has a slight film.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Can you have too little flow in a tank, or does it not matter as long as the water is turned over enough?
2. Is the surface film something to be worried about?
3. Do the plants need a current? Hubby read that they need some to keep algae from settling on the leaves.
4. Could my little guy just be sulking and not appreciative of his new home?
Thanks in advance!
Dunno about the rest, but bettas do need a little time to adjust to a new home. My first betta, I brought him home from the pet store and put him in a 3-gallon tank. He hovered perfectly still for a full minute, then freaked out. He literally did not know which direction to go in first and ended up trying to go in all directions at once. It was funny to watch.
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of the act
It may take as much as a week for a Betta to adjust to a new home. Up the flow if you notice water quality problems, but they do prefer it at the most gentle you can get it.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

about the betta resting on the overflow - my last betta used to do this as well and he was a bit of a lazy fellow , when i first saw him doing it i was very worried thinking the current was too strong, but over time i began to realize that indeed he was doing it because it was an easy place for him to rest. he had absolutely no trouble swimming away from it and would do so immediately if he thought he was going to be fed or noticed someone watching him.
as long as their long beautiful fins are not in danger of being sucked up into it i wouldn't worry about it.
just make sure there are other places they can rest, too. and it sounds like there are.
I have a betta who sleeps on top of his tank filter's outflow nozzle. His ventral fins are merrily blowing in the current but he doesn't seem to care
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of the act
I have a marina i25 internal filter and my boy likes to sit in front of the intake so it pulls on his fins, he will readily swim away if he sees me or if a call his name (if am across the room and call him he swims to the glass looking for me :P)
Josh40 gallon: native tank, rock bass, yellow perch, chub minnows
20 gallon: (cycling, will be) 6 zebra danios, 6 cardinal tetras, RCS, moss wall
10 gallon: salamander halfmoon betta named Gilligan(my avatar), RCS
Thanks for the replies everyone!
Evidently he was just sulking as he was back to his normal self after a few days. I'd read about bettas sulking but had never seen it before. What an ungrateful brat, give him a nice new bigger home and he sulks! ;) He still "rests" against the overflow but otherwise is doing well. Only problem I'm having now is trying to feed the 4 remaining rummynoses without overfeeding the betta. Always a challenge, this hobby!
Did you use some old filter media in the new filter to transfer the beneficial bacteria over?"The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus
"Mini Mbuna" 20g long - 1 M. pulpican, 1 M. joanjohnsonae
"Electric Blue Acara Tank" 75g - Giant danio, tiger barb, Bristlenose pleco

This is a copy of a drawing by Claude that belonged to the artist and President of the Royal Academy, Sir Thomas Lawrence (its present whereabouts unknown). Constable not only followed Claude's image but, as Michael Kitson has observed: he 'mimics the French artist's handling of the pen … uses the same ink and has executed the drawing on old paper' (M. Kitson, 'John Constable at the Tate', Burlington Magazine, CXIII, April 1976, p. 251).

Botstein wins Gruber Genetics Prize
Posted April 15, 2003; 01:59 p.m.
David Botstein, the incoming director of Princeton's Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics , has been selected to receive the 2003 Genetics Prize of the Peter Gruber Foundation .
Botstein, who is currently the Stanford Ascherman, M.D., Professor and chair of the Department of Genetics at the Stanford University School of Medicine, will receive a gold medal and $150,000 on July 10 at a meeting of the International Congress of Genetics in Melbourne, Australia.
The Gruber Foundation, which established and first presented the annual award in 2001, cited Botstein for his wide-ranging and fundamental contributions to genetic research. Calling him a "powerhouse of innovation," the foundation said "his concepts and strategies have repeatedly opened new avenues for modern genetic research."
Princeton selected Botstein as director of the genomics institute in September 2002. He will succeed Shirley M. Tilghman, who was the founding director of the institute and is now president of the University, and James Broach, who is acting director. Botstein's appointment will begin July 1.
Botstein's contributions to modern genetics range from early pioneering work in yeast and bacteria to recent studies of cancer-causing genes. In 1980, he cowrote a paper that laid the groundwork for the Human Genome Project.
In its award announcement, the Gruber Foundation also noted Botstein's record as an innovative educator and as a leader in bridging the disciplines of biology, engineering, physics and mathematics to develop new approaches to biological questions. Foundation chair Peter Gruber noted that Botstein's selection did not present the award committee with the common problem of whether to honor an individual for a lifetime of achievement or someone who demonstrates great promise for the future. "With Professor Botstein, we honor both," the foundation quoted Gruber as saying.
Botstein received his bachelor's degree from Harvard University and doctoral degree from the University of Michigan. He taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1967 to 1988. He then served as vice president for science at the biotechnology company Genentech before joining the faculty at Stanford. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine.
The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, created by the University in 1999, is developing new approaches to studying and teaching biology now that the enormous task of sequencing the genomes of humans and many other organisms has been completed. The University recently completed construction of a building to house the institute, the Carl Icahn Laboratory, and will hold a formal dedication of the building on May 8.

4860 Y Street, Suite 3900Sacramento, CA 95817PH: 916-734-5496FX: 916-456-9350
Website: University of California, Davis/Sacramento
Principal Investigator: Dan Mungas, Ph.D.Medical Director: Charles DeCarli, M.D.
The UC Davis ARCC was established in 1985 in Sacramento has provided leadership in Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical care, research and education. As an Alzheimer's Research Center of California (ARCC), the Center is building upon the clinical, research, educational and community base that has been developed to promote the availability of high-quality clinical services for the growing, elderly segment of the population in the region. The Center has traditionally served a very large geographic area in northern California, much of which is rural. Research programs associated with the Center have focused on cognitive and functional impairment in elderly Hispanics.
The UCD ADC-S is one of two clinical sites of a National Institute on Aging Alzheimer's Disease Center (NIA ADC) and shares in collaborative data collection and research associated with the NIA ADC. The Center's research efforts with Hispanic elderly are supported by three separate grants from the NIA. The satellite clinic component of the NIA ADC supports outreach to, and recruitment of, patients from this population. Dr. Mungas has a grant, funded in 1992 and competitively renewed in 1997, to develop psychometrically matched English and Spanish neuropsychological tests. Another ongoing project at the ARCC is an epidemiological study of dementia and functional impairment in elderly Hispanics. These two projects will provide an excellent opportunity to cross-validate findings and methods from the ARCC research projects on diagnostic methods using a population-based sample. Patients identified in the epidemiological study will be followed in another research project examining factors which influence access to recommended services.
A central focus of the UCD ADC-S is expanding services for rural and Hispanic northern Californians. The ARCC is building upon existing UC Davis Health Care System strengths, including an established network of primary care providers serving the Center's catchment area, its associated health maintenance organization, and an innovative UC Davis Telemedicine program to accomplish these goals.
