Deeplinks Blog posts about Search Incident to Arrest
New data from law enforcement agencies across the country has confirmed what EFF has long been afraid of: while police are routinely using cell phone location tracking information, only a handful of agencies are bothering to obtain search warrants.
Since 2005, we've been beating the drum loudly, warning that the government's attempts to track a person's physical location through their cell phone requires a search warrant. As we've said again and again, because cell phone tracking can give the government a snapshot of a person's life through their movements, a search warrant is necessary to safeguard against privacy intrusions.
Over the last few years, we've been battling laws that require a person arrested to give a DNA sample as part of the routine booking process. The law makes this DNA collection automatic and mandatory; law enforcement do not need a reason to collect the DNA and they can do so without a search warrant. Given the incredibly sensitive information that DNA can reveal about a person - details like a person's medical history, predisposition to disease and even sexual orientation - government access to this information must be strictly limited.
As the year draws to a close, EFF is looking back at the major trends influencing digital rights in 2011 and discussing where we are in the fight for a free expression, innovation, fair use, and privacy.
Occupy Wall Street has called for a global day of action on October 15, and protesters are mobilizing all over the world. In the United States, the Occupy Wall Street movement has already spawned sizeable protests in New York, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Austin, and other cities. Several of these movements have faced opposition from their local police departments, including mass arrests.
Protesters of all political persuasions are increasingly documenting their protests -- and encounters with the police -- using electronic devices like cameras and cell phones. The following tips apply to protesters in the United States who are concerned about protecting their electronic devices when questioned, detained, or arrested by police. These are general guidelines; individuals with specific concerns should talk to an attorney.
For the past six months, EFF has strongly supported SB 914, a bill recently passed by the California state legislature that would require police officers to get a warrant before searching through an arrested suspect's cell phone.
Last month, the bill received overwhelming support from both Democrats and Republicans, passing the California State Assembly 70-0 and then the State Senate, 32-4. Despite such strong bipartisan support, Governor Brown disappointingly vetoed the bill (PDF) yesterday.
SB 914, written in response to the California Supreme Court decision in People v. Diaz, upheld basic constitutional principles. It just maintained Fourth Amendment protection to the contents of cell phones, requiring officers to show a judge there is probable cause that the phone has evidence of a crime before it is searched incident to arrest.

By David Hylton,
Public Relations Specialist
Anyone who has traveled along Interstate 64 in Richmond, Va., in recent weeks has probably noticed a big tarp covering part of our building. Under that tarp is a new sign with our new name – ChildFund International.
At 11 a.m. this Friday, that tarp is coming down. That day we'll be celebrating our new name and our work with children around the world.
"We will celebrate our new name and our continuing commitment to serving the world's deprived, excluded and vulnerable children" says ChildFund International President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard.
In addition to Anne, you'll hear from ChildFund donors Jim Lindsey, a Richmond resident and retired Virginia Commonwealth University assistant professor, and Mick Foley, the well-known wrestler who, among other contributions, has helped build seven schools in war-torn Sierra Leone.
Entertainment includes performances from Richmond-based Ezibu Muntu African Dance and Cultural Foundation and SPARC (School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community). Tours of ChildFund's Kenyan classroom, which features items from a ChildFund program in that country, will be available.
If you plan to attend, please arrive by 10:45 a.m. We are located at 2821 Emerywood Parkway, just off Broad Street near Glenside Drive.
The celebration of ChildFund International's new name continues at 7 p.m. Friday as "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure," an exhibit of toys created by children in ChildFund's programs, debuts at Page Bond Gallery in Richmond.
The collection of more than 350 toys shows real imagination and creativity by children for using locally available materials to design toys of all shapes and sizes that roll, float, peddle or strum. The toys will be on display July 10 through Aug. 21 at the Page Bond Gallery, 1625 W. Main St. Friday's opening reception is from 7-9 p.m.
For a sneak peek of the toy exhibit, click here to check out a video of children making toys.

Big Woot! We love the fact that ChildFund is open to modern times! Facebook! Twitter! Sharing….what better way to focus on the children, the families and help needed…. Although we loved all before, this change will open up new opportunites for those in need! We can't wait to see what info we'll learn on the Philippines : ) Thanks for all you do!
I don't understand why taking the word "Christian" out of your organizations title better reflects your commitment.
I believe removing the word "Christian" is simply that. To many have commented that the organization falsley represents by not promoting Christianity as "the religion to believe". As a Christian, I do not need the word to represent myself in my cause. I wish to help all religions, beliefs….and not prevent some families from engaging in the help they need because of a religious based name. This will take a lot of burden off those with other beliefs…no conflict of interest. Wise decision…As for our home, we are Christian based….and in being so, we will continue to support the ChildFund in all their endeavors. Thank you….
Hmmmm…. Just exactly what can "ChildFund" do that "Christian Childrens Fund" could not do? This is nor clear to me.
I must conclude that the name "Christian" has somehow become inconvenient for this organization. Doing things that cannot be motivated by "Christian values" seem a little suspect to me.
There are plenty of "Christian" organizations that help children. Any additional donations I make beyond my commitment to my sponsored child will go to an organization that is proud of Christ and is not inconvenienced by association with him.
If I were told some specific things that ChildFund can do, that Christian Children's Fund could not do, I will reconsider my decision.
Thank you for all the comments. We encourage you to visit our Web site – http://www.ChildFund.org – for details on our changes and to see the work that we do to help deprived, excluded and vulnerable children around the world.
This article and others like it (Christians NOT at their best) is what I found when I was looking for a charity. After reading it, I knew Christain Children's Fund was what I was seeking. I wanted a charity who actually helped the children….not self serving for their religious beliefs.
Congratulations to Cynthia Price, Geoff Livingston and the team that helped make this great change. Wow.
I have sponsored a wonderful young man from Korea for 10 years and suddenly a letter from CCF saying he has reached the age of maturity and no longer my sponsored child. I received no letter from the child I have been communicating with all these years and now I come to find under the new name of Child Fund, Korea is no longer listed as a sponsored country and no one will give me answers. Nice new name but I would have been more impressed had I have been given answers to my questions, especially considering how long I have sponsored two children from this agency.
I am so sorry to hear this. Try going to this site:
I hope you find your answers and may continue to write to your child(ren). I've been under the impression that once they reach their "maturity" age, letters can still be exchanged if both parties agree. Good luck…keep us updated!
I found an email address for their office, the freecall number seems to be missing a digit…
Try emailing Australia for answers…at least they have some info on Korea….no children listed for sponsorship. Could be a glitch that needs correcting. : ) Good luck!
Thanks to everyone for their posts. Please call our 800 number at 1-800-776-6767 so we can help you out.
Thanks for responding ChildFund…I was about to post your message : )
Very impressed with your quick response!

This comforting side would also be great for brunch.

I thought the mesa ruined it; might have been better without it.
This went over well. Being used to more spicy food, I would add a bit more heat next time, although as I used canned green chilis...the lack of heat may have been my fault. I followed the recipe except that I used some blue corn instead of the usual masa. I also cooked it in an 8x8" pan rather than the 9x13" it called for. It puffed up and looked like the main course it was meant to be. I did roast the corn the previous evening...and the roasted corn gave it a good flavor.
Yum! I used 1/2 cup monterey jack and 1/2 cup sharp cheddar instead of manchego. I'd recommend using a smaller pan - it didn't rise enough to justify a 13x9. This is especially awesome topped with a fried egg (isn't everything?)
Made according to recipe, using prosciutto because that was what was available. Baked in a smaller but deeper dish, so lowered the temperature and increased cooking time. That said, it came out to be somewhere between cornbread and corn pudding, but still quite good. Was better the next day with breakfast.
I love this recipe. I use half the amount of butter and light sour cream. I have made it with ham but I actually prefer it made without ham. I added sauted leeks which gave it a really nice flavor. I have made it many times now and it is always a hit.
Every time I bring this pudding to the office for a luncheon, it is the first dish to disappear. (When I make it at Christmas time, I add sliced roasted red peppers to the green poblanos to give it a more festive look.) You just can't go wrong with this recipe!
I made as directed and added cilantro and a couple of serrano chilis for some heat. I still found it to be just ok. Would be better with a lot more heat.
This is a fantastic recipe. Made as written, the dish is spicy comfort food that serves as a terrific side dish. I have served it at Thanksgiving instead of the traditional creamed corn. You can kick this recipe around and it still performs for you - substitute a different meat (chopped ham, smoked turkey, andouille sausage) or leave out the meat altogether, substitute cheddar or jack for the cheese, use cream instead of sour cream, corn meal instead of masa, different kinds of peppers - everything I've tried out of creativity or convenience has worked. I LOVE THIS RECIPE.
I've made this three times and always a big hit. Twice I made it as directed (with prosciutto) and roasted the peppers myself. Last time I didn't have time to roast and just grabbed a can of Ortega chiles out of cupboard. Couldn't tell the difference and saved me time and mess. BTW, I was surprised to find the cheese at Costco and Trader Joe's in the SF Bay Area stores!
Yummy! No frills here, but great flavor. Made exactly as recipe and it was fantastic. Might add a touch of liquid smoke next time around just for fun!

Thanks Gerry!
I live in a city where we have 4 bases and the USAFA. I never pass a military person on the street without saying thank you. I also work in physical rehab where I see retired military and many that are returning with injuries as well as their family members. I hope all on RTF can follow your example. Thank their families because they pay a high price also.
I appreciate something positive off RTF much of it is just WTF!

In every movie and especially in Star Wars there is battle or revelation at the halfway point: a Speeder chase on Endor, a duel with Darth Maul in the dessert or a shot-out in the Death Star's prison. Episode II will open will a chase through Coruscant's towering city valleys and ends with a breath-taking two on one fight in a Geonosis Hangar. But I'm asking what will happen in the middle? Obi-Wan and Jango's fight in the rain? The death of Shmi Larrs? Mace Windu fighting within the Arena?
Please, post your thoughts or ideas?

We're in BIG trouble cause some morons who voted for Hope and Change are willing to drool over one hand investigating Bush while the other goes ten steps further to erode the constitution.
As to the original question:
Why would these people refuse to be questioned? Couldn't be they did anything illegal could it?
Maybe they had better things to do than let someone go on a fishing expedition into their past. Scooter Libby can probably relate to that. 200 people interviewed and the story is 6 didn't interview. Guess they didn't get a whole hell of alot out of the other 200 or that might have been the story.

Where I stayed
Mr Noi's Thong Bang Bungalows
So we left Hue bright and early, having the free breakfast we'd managed to negotiate into our room price (baguette jam and butter). We'd managed to meet some girls going the same way, Sophie and Laura who were at Leeds at the same time as us, so of we went in a minivan to the bus station.
Despite the woman telling us we were getting a private bus and not the government bus, definitely not, we ended up sat on the government bus. The luggage hold was rammed to capacity even though there were about 5 people on the bus, so our bags ended up on the back seats. The bus never got that full of people, just massive amounts of luggage everywhere, under the seats/on the seats/around the seats..etc. Bus was fine as buses go, there was air con and an enormous, ENORMOUS tv, showing something we couldn't understand but the vietnamese/laos people seemed to like
We got to the Lao Bao border at about 12.30, and it was very nice and straight forward, definitely one of our better borders, we didn't even have to get our bags off of the bus. Due to the visa price being in Kip and being unable to get hold of kip out of Laos we had to pay in dollars, which as you may or may not know don't buy as much as they used to, so the visa was $40 not $35 as we'd expected. We got talking to a swede called Anna, so our 4 became a 5.
After the border we stopped for some noodle soup lunch, which we paid for in a combo of kip and dollars just to confuse everything!
We got to Savannaket at about 6pm and set off to the town centre in a tuktuk, we told him to take us to an ATM, where we got our first feel for Kips. We then had to walk for AAAGGGEEES (ok like 800m) to a hotel, we were all absolutley exhausted from the epic journeying of the last few days and we werent even at our destination yet, this was just a stop over.
We rested amd washed etc then went to find some tea, we walked for ages down the Mekong (you can see Thailand) but didnt fancy the meat on sticks, ended up somewhere that did the usual, curry/rice/noodle soup type things and ordered
We went to bed really early as the next morning had to catch another bus at 7.30am, thought we didnt have to go to the bus station, we just walked to the main road and flagged it down. We had baguettes with dubious but tasty meat for breakfast and then settled in for the bus ride to Pakse. The bus ride was not air conditioned, it kept stopping so women with bits of birds of sticks could sell their wares to us (see pics), the beetle kebabs im afraid we didnt try. Anna was sleeping and the pervy laos man next to her decided to cop a feel, she managed to get a good whack in before he ran of. What a perv. The laos woman behind looked suitably unimpressed too.
We got to Pakse at 12ish and then had to take a tuktuk from the northern to the southern bus terminal, some 10km. When we got then we had an hour to wait for the Sangalangathaw (not its real spelling, lets say local bus) to take us to Don Det. In this time we had some noodle soup which came with massive amounts of folliage and some steak and was really cheap. About 10minutes before the bus was leaving the i guess conductor, but that sounds too formal a title, the man who stood on the back came to look for us, nice of him
Again the local bus stopped a lot to let women sell us things on sticks. A Laos lady gave us some of these orange fruits, like apricots but not, which were nice.
We passed some westerners on an even more local form of transport, and our driver decided he wanted to pick them up, the spanish as i think they were bartered for about half an hour, annoying everyone in the bus, they seemed oblivious to this. One of them kept singing and clapping which was... nice... not annoying at all. (I should prob point out I (Raywood here) was feeling pretty grumpy, at some point me and EW have got throat infections or something and at various points had felt terrible. This was one of those points, combined with the excessive amounts of bus travel, I was grumpy and didnt care that the Spaniard wanted to pay 25p less).
Eventually they got on, we set off, ended up going down quite a few dirt tracks etc. Got to the port for the boat to DonDet at about 6? something like that, it hadnt been sunset yet. The Spaniards were unable to barter the boat price down so we all ended up in one boat, which was definitley not that sturdy... oh my.
Don Det, the boat ride there, was indeed stunning
We had some tea and then passed out asleep, Anna mentioned a bike ride to a waterfall the next morning but this all sounded a little too energetic...
We stayed on Don Det for 4nights and during this time we did the same everyday, I shall summarise our activities here.
7-9amish, wake up covered in sweat. Have shower, sit in hammock for a nap. Have a baguette with cheese/jam for breakfast. Either head to the beach for some swimming in the river and admiration of the water buffalo or stay on porch in hammock reading, perhaps going down to river to cool down.
Sleep some more,
6pmish watch the sunset from the beach or just a hammock.
Wait for the electricity to come on, go find some food (probably coconut curry, whatever you try and order it will always be the same thing).
10pmish, no more electricity, go to the reggae bar (with a generator so electricty until 11pm!) and then the beach and watch the bonfire until the small hours, pehaps drinking Lao Lao Whisky.
It was indeed a very nice relaxing time, considering wed spent 3 days and nights trying to get there.
From our bungalows you could get down to the river and bathe really easily, though the tide was the wrong way from the beach and very strong, so try as we might we just couldnt swim upstream.
Was really a very beautiful place, nicer for the lack of electricity even.
On the 4th day we realised that we dont have all that much time left so decided we should leave, we booked another local bus (see pics) to get to Pakse, staying for a night before heading to Vientiane and the north.
So here we are now, in Pakse, where it is really very hot still, but we now have 24h access to fans :)
Lots of love,

Family: Icteridae, Blackbirds and Orioles view all from this family
Description ADULT Has marbled brown upperparts. Head has buff cheeks, dark stripe behind eye, and dark crown. Pale supercilium is yellow in front of eye and yellow throat is bordered by white malar stripe and defined below by "V"-shaped black chest band. Underparts are flushed yellow on breast, grading to white on belly and with dark spots on flanks. In winter, black "V" is obscured by pale feather tips. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult.
Dimensions Length: 9-11" (23-28 cm)
Habitat Common and widespread in grassland; largely resident, but northern birds migrate south in fall.
Observation Tips Easy to see.
Range Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada, Texas, Southwest, Florida, Rocky Mountains, New England, Great Lakes, Plains
Voice Song is a whistled tsee'oo'ee tseeuu; call is a rattle.
Discussion Long-billed grassland bird that often sings from roadside posts. Easily recognized as a meadowlark and recognition as such is straightforward across most of its eastern range where it is the only meadowlark species present. But, specific identification is tricky where range overlaps with Western Meadowlark. Note Eastern's white malar stripe bordering the yellow throat, and the greater extent of white in its outer tail. Also, flank markings tend to look streaky in Eastern, but spotty in Western. Subspecies plumage variation exists across range; Southwestern "Lilian's" (lilianae) is palest and most similar to sympatric Westerns. Sexes are similar.

The Princeton University men's squash team won the national championship on Sunday, Feb. 19, with a 5-4 victory over Trinity College, ending Trinity's 13-year title streak.
Princeton senior Kelly Shannon capped the Tigers' comeback with a victory over Trinity's Reinhold Hergeth in front of a packed crowd at Jadwin Gymnasium. The win marked Princeton's first national title in men's squash since 1993.
The win also extended Princeton's streak of consecutive years with either an individual or team national championship to 41.

When it comes to law, words matter, and their definitions matter even more.
The big problem with legal definitions surrounding driverless vehicle technology: There are none.
Although a few states, Michigan included, have begun to acknowledge driverless systems in their law books, the subject mainly remains a legal gray area. Michigan's laws, passed in December, only provide for testing of autonomous vehicles, and no state's motor vehicle regulator (like Michigan's Secretary of State) has begun addressing driverless technology in its rules.
This is where the legal work will need to be done if full-blown driverless systems are to become a consumer reality, those who study the issue say.
Uncharted road
"For truly autonomous vehicles to be successfully implemented in volume and in multiple states — a critical mass of deployment — there are going to need to be significant changes in law. One is permitting these vehicles on roadways, and that will take a number of years," said William Kohler, speaking in his capacity as head of Clark Hill PLC's automotive practice before taking a position as chief legal officer for Dura Automotive Systems last week.
Analysts aren't in even full agreement on the present legality of driverless systems. Some say the law's lack of wording makes the systems tacitly legal, much as some new recreational drugs are legal until lawmakers or regulators say otherwise. For testing purposes, manufacturers already have special plates that should cover them.
On the other hand, laws "presume and were intended to pertain only to vehicles that have drivers," Kohler said.
If autonomous vehicles hit the roads today, the result would be wildly varying court interpretations.
"For autonomous vehicles to appear — nontesting — on American roads, there needs to be state-level legislation authorizing the operation of autonomous vehicles on states' roads. That has occurred in only a few states subject to regulations being developed," Kohler said.
Talking the talk
Even basic terminology of autonomous vehicles isn't agreed upon. "Driverless" and "autonomous" are the more widely used terms. Many developers and manufacturers who would put these systems on the road prefer "automated," raising the possibility that the phrase "automated automobile" could be used in all seriousness — not an encouraging sign for anyone looking to clarify the law.
It's at these higher levels where the most society-changing effects would be — in safety, use of time, land use — and also where the biggest legal questions arise.
"Everything will have to be redone in the context of this technology," said David Cole, former longtime chairman of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor and now chairman of AutoHarvest Foundation in Detroit.
Truly autonomous cars are the furthest from being ready for wide public consumption because the technology still needs work and they involve things like changes to traffic infrastructure. But as things go, technology tends to march faster than law.
The legal driver's seat
While safety and liability concerns have been the focus of much of the legal talk over autonomous driving, the basic legal framework to accommodate the systems at all will need to happen first.
"We won't have major manufacturers committing to production of autonomous vehicles in volume until they can be sold in most states, not just one state," Kohler said.
As a practical matter, the law books' saying nothing will only go so far. Otherwise, awkward legal questions arise — unintended consequences of laws made without a thought toward cars without people in them.
"And those questions might be addressed first by legislatures, and if not, then they will be addressed by the courts," setting the stage for a mess of rules and precedents, said Bryant Walker Smith, a fellow at the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford University and a professor of law at the University of South Carolina.
State laws say things like this passage from California's rulebook on unattended vehicles: "No person driving, or in control of, or in charge of, a motor vehicle shall permit it to stand on any highway unattended without first effectively setting the brakes thereon and stopping the motor thereof."
Is it really unattended if the person who put it there did so from a computer screen miles away? And has the power to drive off using the same system? Isn't that person "in control" of it?
Countless examples like this can be found if a person were to peruse every state's driving laws, which is precisely what Smith did. For the past three years, he has been studying, full time, the finer legal conundrums that autonomous driving exposes. He calls for common vocabularies and definitions, and for states to examine how their laws would apply to automated vehicles, with or without human operators.
His work points needling questions at previously straightforward concepts like "driving." What's a "driver"? Does it have to be a person? How is it different from "operating"? Statutes are filled with these and other terms like "prudence," "due care" and "reasonable" when it comes to driving responsibility.
"Under the existing code, a human user could almost always be considered a 'driver,' " regardless of where that person is, Smith said. "That is probably not appropriate for these higher levels of automation."
Many ambiguities could be clarified by through statements of purpose that say the state's intent is to promote the use of safe technology on the road, he said. Judges would then use these statements as guidance for interpreting flexible concepts like "prudence" and "driving," said Smith.
States also could define terms like "automated operation," "automated vehicle" and "driver," which then would allow for clearer rules on unattended vehicles, distracted driving and so on.
Adjustments such as these would smooth out most wrinkles in the legal codes and make it so every comma of the law doesn't need reviewing. Smith does recommend, however, that autonomous system developers get in front of any legal issues by scrutinizing the codes and publicly requesting relevant changes.
It will take a lot of work to sort out the issues ahead, and that means business for lawyers. "Those who understand the legal issues — and anticipate them — will be well-rewarded," Kohler said.
An overhaul of the rules is necessary but not urgent, Cole said, offering a final word of temperance. Although headlines suggest otherwise, the technology still has quite a way to go and the path it will take it remains unclear.
"It's very early," he said. "The hype is running faster than the technology."

After a brief late-December break from the usual boatload of good shows, the flood picks up right where it left off in early January. It sounds trite, but there really is something for everyone over the next few months, from blues and soul to indie-pop and art-rock, from R&B and hip-hop to metal and psych-rock. There's all manner of world music. Mardi Gras celebrations. Comedy, folk, punk rock. You name it. Cash those Christmas checks or make friends with the door guy, and dig in.
JANUARYFormer Muddy Waters sideman LUTHER "GUITAR JUNIOR" JOHNSON gets things off to a bluesy start next Saturday, January 5, at Johnny D's (17 Holland St, Somerville). The same night, the winter installment of baseball scribes PETER GAMMONS and Jeff Horrigan's HOT STOVE, COOL MUSIC charity concert series kicks off with a "special preview concert" at the Paradise (967 Comm Ave, Boston). The line-up: SPOOKIE DALY PRIDE, ELI "PAPERBOY" REED & THE TRUE LOVES, and DESOL. The main event's the following night, also at the Paradise: it features a slew of local and ex-local rock and baseball luminaries, including THEO EPSTEIN, Gammons, Dropkick Murphy KEN CASEY, Bosstones frontman DICKY BARRETT, BRONSON ARROYO, LORI MCKENNA, KAY HANLEY, DEAR LEADER, and the aforementioned Reed.
The Ozzman Cometh — to Worcester January 8. OZZY OSBOURNE plays the DCU Center (50 Foster St) with horror-film obsessive — and, now, auteur — ROB ZOMBIE. On the heels of the drama-imbued release of their Beatles–"interpolating" 8 Diagrams (Motown/Universal) — their fifth album and first in six years — the WU-TANGCLAN play the Palladium in Worcester (261 Main St) January 11; meanwhile, K Records chick MIRAH and pals SPECTRATONE INTERNATIONAL perform their multi-media show "Share This Place" — an exploration of "the tender, dramatic, sordid, tragic and triumphant lives of insects" — at the MFA's Remis Auditorium (465 Huntington Ave, Boston). The same night is the kickoff of the two-day BOSTON CELTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL — now in its fifth year and taking place at various venues in Cambridge and Medford; visit www.bcmfest.com.
"MONSTERS OF MOCK III: THE ULTIMATE HAIRBALL" brings together APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION ("the ultimate tribute to Guns N' Roses") and TRAGEDY, "a metal tribute to the Bee Gees," which has to be heard to be believed — check their MySpace page. That's downstairs at the Middle East (480 Mass Ave, Cambridge) January 18; meanwhile next door at T.T. the Bear's Place (10 Brookline St) it's New Hampshire bubblegum-punk lifers the QUEERS, and just down the road a bit, mbube masters LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO of Graceland fame do their South African a cappella thing at Harvard's Sanders Theatre (45 Quincy St).

Surgical Oncologist
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a surgical oncologist whose primary area of clinical and research interest is melanoma. In 1991, I introduced lymph-node mapping and sentinel lymph-node biopsy for melanoma and other selected skin cancers. Together, these procedures can determine during surgery whether a tumor has spread to surrounding lymph nodes. Using lymph node mapping, we can pinpoint the precise lymph node into which a nearby tumor is likely to travel first (called the sentinel node). If a biopsy of the sentinel node indicates cancer spread, the surrounding lymph nodes are removed. But if there is no evidence of cancer in the sentinel node, patients are spared from additional lymph node surgery.
My research has focused primarily on detecting and defining the clinical significance of individual melanoma cells in the sentinel lymph nodes, blood, and bone marrow of melanoma patients, with the goal of identifying patients at highest risk of cancer recurrence following surgery to remove a melanoma.
I served as Chief of the Gastric and Mixed Tumor Service in Memorial Sloan Kettering's Department of Surgery from 1997 until October 2003. This service focuses primarily on the surgical management of less common malignancies, including melanoma, sarcoma, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer, and also provides surgical support for the Lymphoma Service.
I currently serve as a co-leader of the Melanoma Disease Management Team — a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, and other medical professionals at Memorial Sloan Kettering who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma. On a national and international level, I am involved in advancing new ways to diagnose and treat melanoma as a member of the American Joint Commission on Cancer Melanoma Staging Committee, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Melanoma Advisory Group, the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer Melanoma Working Group, the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group's Melanoma Working Group, and the World Health Organization Melanoma Committee.
In addition to my interest in melanoma, I also have an expertise in the treatment of gastric cancer. I served on the program committee of the International Gastric Cancer National Meeting in 2001. And in 2002, I was co-leader of the Gastric Cancer Working Group of the National Cancer Institute's Stomach Cancer Progress Review Group. I am currently the co-principal investigator of two gastric cancer studies at Memorial Sloan Kettering. The first evaluates the effectiveness of chemotherapy prior to surgery in high-risk gastric cancer patients, and the second is a "Quality of Life Assessment" of gastric cancer patients. I am also an active member of the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Upper GI Cancer Working Group.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center plays a key role in training oncology doctors, and I have had a long-standing interest in the training of surgical oncology fellows. I served as the Director of Surgical Education for the Surgical Oncology Fellowship Training Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering from 1991 to 1997, and I was Director of the Society of Surgical Oncology Training Committee, where I oversaw the administration of all surgical oncology fellowships across the nation from 1994 to 1999.
As part of my interest in spreading information we have learned about cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering, I have lectured extensively, both nationally and internationally, and authored a number of manuscripts and reviews on various surgical oncology topics.

Morningside Heights
Morningside Heights is located in the northernmost section of the Upper West Side. Despite its geographical location on the UWS, Morningside Heights is referred to by many today as "Greater Harlem.".
Some also refer to it as SoHa, meaning "south of Harlem." Before any of these names, however, the neighborhood was known in the 17th century as Vandewater's Heights.


text: Alright guys, this album, Blackfield - Self title, doesnt come out in America until the end of Spetember but I couldn't wait so i got mine from England (which has a bonus disc anyway). This album is pure genius. Being a fan of Steven Wilson I am familiar with his work and have actually interviewed him twice. This collaboration with Aviv Geffen is just sick. If you want to try something new, with a classic rock feel to it pick this up (as well as Prcupine Tree In absentia, an awseome album) Steen as been around for yeard, he has so many albums out. He is also the guy that has been doing an amazing job producing the last couple of Opeth albums. Really do check this one out, it is worth it.

The Hoko
I have read very little about this little river. Never seen a picture of it. But from what I have read, it has created a burning desire to fish this river.
Juro has to have fished it, it seems that he has fished every puddle that has a riffle-pool structure in the state of Washington.
Anyone else out there fished it?? I am just dying to fish it and want to know more about this little gem.
Ryan S. Petzold
aka Sparkey and/or Special
RE:The Hoko
Well, I had the sense that my dear wife would yank be out of steelhead nirvana the whole time I lived there so I made hay.
Yes, I have taken 112 to sample the Pyscht, Sekiu, and Hoko Rivers but I do not have an extensive knowledge of any of them. I usually get lulled by the Elwha and the next stop is the Sol Duc for me, on the way to the Hoh.
I camped at the mouth of the Pyscht and fished for steelhead coming in with the high tide. It was exciting, and one even rested in the pocket I was standing in. With a fly rod swinging a fly, it's a tough river. With a bobber and jig you'd clean up. It's tiny, but there's a certain magic to it. You can only fish it every other day, or something like that. The camp ground keeper is a great guy he was surfing the web in the little trailer home when I met him. I'd like to investigate it more but it's not the best fly river unless you are a good pocket water angler.
I fished the Sekiu a few times. Up from the mouth, there is a dirt road where you park at a gate. You walk up from the gate and there is a sweet holding pool. It's best fished from the far bank, and the river is usually easy to cross below the pool. If there are fish in the river you won't be alone, but there is typically plenty of room and I landed a nice fish in the tailout while the corky drifters worked the top of the hole. They were landing a few nice ones too. The fish I landed appeared to be an unclipped hatchery hen (Indian hatchery?), or else it had fin problems when it was a smolt. I released it. You can poke around and might find a few nice pools, but this pool was by far the hot spot. It reminds me of the Skookumchuck in size in spring flows. Most of it doesn't hold enough water to provide long term holding lies for steelhead so you need to find the hold water between runs and riffles. I suppose you could fish the tides when they are entering with success. That would be a game for locals.
The Hoko requires a lot of work and research to learn correctly. There are a few great holes that are accessible in the lower stretch but you can cover them quickly and I understand the premium water is upriver. It is a river that hides a lot of good water behind obscure roads and wooded accesses, which makes me desire to fish it more as well. To answer yor question, I can't say I am a Hoko experienced angler. There was a guide who specialized in 4x4 access to the upper Hoko... can't recall his name.
Ever tried the upper Skookumchuck?
RE:The Hoko
I have never tried the Upper Skook but I have heard the it produces fish very late and when it is on, IT IS ON.
Thanks for the info on the Hoko. I would love to get to know a river that isnt accesible and with your description it sounds like that kind of river. I want to fish it ever more now!!!!!
Ryan S. Petzold
aka Sparkey and/or Special
RE:The Hoko
Ryan -
I'm going to check my journals to see if I have any specifics on the roads to access the spots I have tried on the Hoko now that I am home.
Talk soon,
RE:The Hoko
Thanks Juro, you rock!!

Binghamton University announces Winter Session pilot
Offering students another option for spending their time between the fall and spring semester, Binghamton University will offer a Winter Session beginning January 2005.
The pilot program will be conducted as a separate term and not considered part of the spring or fall academic semesters. Offerings will include approximately 18 to 20 undergraduate courses and a few graduate courses, taught in a two-and-a-half week period.
"The session will be intensive, but research shows that we can teach this way," said Thomas Kowalik, director of Continuing Education & Outreach. "Students are much more sophisticated and the short, intensive format is attractive to non-traditional as well as traditional students. We need to look for alternative ways to meet their needs and deliver to our target audiences, and this will help us do it."
Mary Ann Swain, provost and vice president for academic affairs, agrees. "As the needs of students change, they want more options," she said. "This session offers fluidity and we need to be adaptive." The experiment, as Swain calls it, will offer both on-campus and distance learning instruction in the compressed time period. "We need to craft a greater variety of ways that students can learn and meet their graduation requirements," she said.
The four-credit courses will meet state regulations of at least 562 minutes per credit. Given the compressed format, classes will likely meet daily, Monday through Friday, beginning January 3, unless taught through distance education with faculty able to begin coursework in December.
All Winter Session classes must end by January 21. Courses will be selected for the pilot program based upon five criteria: they must demonstrate high student demand, be appropriate for distance education delivery, meet general education requirements, be effectively delivered in a condensed format and help students meet degree requirements in a timely fashion.
Faculty are currently being asked to submit course proposals as they would for Summer Session. A class schedule will be available by late August and registration will take place between November 25 and December 12, with a late registration date of December 20.
Kowalik said the pilot will offer a great opportunity for students. "We're hearing what students are saying," he said. "They want more flexibility and the option to go year-round. They're less wedded to traditional terms and this will give them another option. It's one more way our institution can show its responsiveness to the needs of our students."
"It's a pilot because we want to assure ourselves that the learning we want can happen," Swain said.
And with increased accessibility to Binghamton University, Kowalik said that Winter Session "will deliver excellence in another format."

The Midwest Assistance Program Loan Fund
Established in 2003, MAPLF has closed seven loans totaling $105,000, has $250,000 more in process, and has sustained no losses. Loans have been made in four of the nine states in MAPLF's service region. MAPLF is an affiliate of the Midwest Assistance Program, which provides engineering, training, and other consulting services to help small rural communities plan and implement water and wastewater improvement projects. MAPLF typically funds projects that have multiple layers of funding, including grants and loans from a variety of sources. Originally capitalized with $100,000 from the Midwest Assistance Program, MAPLF also funds its loans with the proceeds of a federal grant, and is actively seeking new investors. Banks can participate by investing directly into MAPLF, by referring prospective borrowers that do not meet conventional credit criteria, and by structuring MAPLF into financing packages in which the banks would like to participate.

When I first started using coupons and building my stockpile, I had no idea when to buy products or when to ever expect them to go on sale. After a good year of this, I started tracking what went on sale when and quickly learned when to buy the products that my family needed.
My stock-up price is when an item is 75% off regular price and for the most part everything we buy goes on sale every 3-4 months. But there are products that only go on sale certain times of the year and become extremely cheaper compared to normal. So I thought I would share with you some items that you should stock up on and get the lowest price on during the month of February!
- National Snack Food Month
- National Can Food Month
- Jell-O Week (2nd week) is also on February
- Valentine's Day
- Black History Month
- President's Day
- National Hot Breakfast Month
- Chinese New Year
- Valentine's Day Items- the day after Valentine's Day stores will mark down all Valentine's day items and candy, within a few days they will be practically giving the stuff away, this is the time to stock up for next year. Especially on items like Valentine's Day Cards- with 3 kiddos in school and all of them exchanging cards, they can get expensive at $3-$4 each box. I wait til they hit the clearance shelf and pick them up for around .25 a box. This way I can grab 4-5 boxes so our girls can pick and choose which ones they want to give out, plus this allows me to send in extra with our girls for class mates that may not have any to exchange!!
- Can Food Items- With it being National Can Food Month, you will see a lot of these items dropping in price, stock up on the can food you need!
- Breakfast Foods- Waffles, Cereal & Pop Tarts are all on sale as well as oatmeal and sometimes sausage or bacon
- Chinese Food- Foods that are Chinese inspired– Soy Sauce, Noodles, etc
- February Fruit- Strawberries
- February Veggies- Asparagus and Potatoes
- Adult Romance Products- Romance is in the air in February, but after Valentine's Day, no one is buying this stuff any more. So stock up on all the unmentionable love products (KY, etc) that will quickly be hitting the clearance racks after V-Day!
- Exercise & Healthy/Diet Items- Everyone has broken their New Year's resolution to exercise more and eat better, meaning stores are left with stuff no one is buying any more. Stock up on protein bars for the kiddos soccer games, buy that new treadmill you wanted but couldn't swallow the regular price tag that came with or find some cute workout outfits!
- Super Bowl Items- Now that all the hype of the Super Bowl is over, you can grab some really inexpensive football accessories and football inspired kitchen accessories!

Frontier: Trenton growth on despite tower closing
TRENTON (AP) — Frontier Airlines says the announced plan to close the control tower at Trenton-Mercer Airport won't affect its plans to further expand service there.
The Ewing airport was on a hit list Friday of 149 air traffic control facilities nationwide to be shuttered by the Federal Aviation Administration due to federal budget cuts.
The closings will start April 7.
The agency says the closures will not force the shutdown of any airports. But they will require pilots using them to coordinate takeoffs and landings over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers.
Trenton-Mercer recently announced that Frontier, its main carrier, would add five new destinations next month.
Mercer County executive Brian Hughes says the closure raises security concerns but the airport will continue operations as usual.

Considering Kitchen Blinds
Functionality trumps fashion, but there are ways to combine both elements in your home
Kitchen windows can be tricky to dress up, as kitchens are full of hot, steamy air, flying grease and food odor. And yet, we want our kitchens to be pretty and decorated like the rest of our homes. Don't worry: There are many choices out there of kitchen blinds that provide privacy and light control, but are still attractive to look at.
Blinds vs. Shades
Kitchen blinds have slats, or louvers, that can be raised or lowered and opened or closed for great control of the direction of light, airflow and privacy. Shades, on the other hand, can usually only be raised and lowered.
Blinds come in plastic, metal or wood. Generally speaking, vinyl blinds are the most economical kitchen blinds on the market. This makes them ideal choices for rental homes and apartments where one still wants privacy and light control, but doesn't want the cost of higher-end products. Metal blinds are another practical choice for use in the kitchen. They are durable and economical and work well in a more contemporary design plan. Both vinyl and metal blinds are easily kept clean with a little regular upkeep.
Wooden blinds are the top-of-the-line choice for kitchen blinds. They come in wide or narrow slats and are sturdy enough for wide window coverage. White wooden blinds are a very popular choice right now, as they are fresh and clean looking, yet still very traditional. The value of wood blinds is that they can be integrated into the millwork in the kitchen for a truly high-end look. Wood blinds come in many species of wood and can be stained to match or coordinate with the kitchen cabinets.
Keeping Blinds Clean
One of the trickiest things about kitchen blinds is keeping them clean. Between what goes on in the kitchen to what blows in from the outside, the blinds will require regular dusting and cleaning.
For regular maintenance, a simple dusting with a Swiffer wipe or blast of air from a hair dryer will clean much of the dust; Jobar makes a nifty vacuum attachment specifically for mini-blinds.
For deep cleaning vinyl or metal blinds, the easiest method is to simply soak them in a tub with diluted dishwashing liquid. After they have soaked for an hour or so, simply rinse and shake off the excess water. Take special care with the metal blinds to make sure they are fully dried so you avoid rust issues.
Wooden blinds should not be submerged in water. However, as with any wood piece, a damp cloth is okay to use. High-quality products such as Murphy's Oil Soap or a furniture polish or wax will protect the wood and prevent a heavy buildup of grease and grime. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your kitchen blinds looking great for years.
Design Options
Kitchen blinds can also be paired with fabric window treatments for a dressier look. Layered under drapery panels or window toppers, blinds will still provide the functional service you need (privacy, light and air-flow control) while also adding to the decorative appeal of a space.

We Want More from our S'mores
It's summertime – time for some Fair Trade s'mores!
The Fair Trade cocoa movement was built by kids, churches, schools, towns, and individual consumers who want to be able to eat chocolate untainted by bitter working conditions. Fair Trade has revolutionized the global economy by setting minimum standards of fairness – in terms of labor, environment and community development. It has become the yardstick by which to measure and contrast products produced under unbridled free trade conditions.
Summer is a great time to get outside, and share Fair Trade at the beach, in the park, around the campfire – everywhere!
How to participate:
- Sign the pledge to make Fair Trade s'mores this summer. We are hoping to collect 250 pledges this summer!
- Include Fair Trade s'mores in your barbeques and campfires this summer. Or plan a We Want More from Our S'mores picnic in the park (or in the kitchen) or other event with friends, family, coworkers, or the neighborhood.
- Screen The Dark Side of Chocolate. Before or after you make your tasty Fair Trade s'mores, show this film to educate others about child labor in the cocoa fields.
Organize a public S'mores action event or serve Fair Trade S'mores at an event that is already planned within your community, social group/club, congregation, school, or summer camp… and maximize the number of Fair Trade S'mores we make! See our step-by-step checklist.
We have even made a flyer for you to use! Email Global Exchange for a model media advisory to invite reporters to cover your event.
You can purchase Fair Trade Certified chocolate at your local store. Equal Exchange, Alter Eco, Global Exchange, and Sweet Earth Organics also ship during the summer to certain parts of the US. You can also download this 'Fair Trade Finder' app on your mobile device.
- Show off your S'mores by holding up Fair Trade S'mores photo poster (thanks to the first graders at Manhattan New School for their "Children are More Important than Chocolate" phrase, which we used on one of the posters) or make your own
- Fair Trade Campfire Song: My Favorite Fair Traded Things
- Educational flyers to those around you to raise awareness about Fair Trade

The Harvard presidential putsch, engineered by a minority faction of the Arts and Sciences faculty (itself a minority within Harvard's combined faculties), may yet fail to accomplish the second half of its goal: to determine Lawrence Summers's replacement. Although critical op-eds have appeared regularly, the news pages of the major dailies covering the crimson drama have been peculiarly silent about the brewing counter-rebellion against Summers's ouster. That story is being told instead in the pages of the student-run Harvard Law Record, one of the oldest and most reliable independent sources of Harvard-campus news.
By January 26 — just five days after Summers announced his resignation — Michael Levenson reported in the Boston Globe that would-be academic kingmakers (actually, queenmakers) were already tossing out names of people supposedly on the inside track. The emphasis, predictably, was on women — mostly scientists (to atone for Summers's supposed belittling of women's innate scientific abilities) and African-Americans (to atone for Summers's suggestion that Cornel West cut back on producing hip-hop, among other things, and spend more time on scholarship and teaching — see "Say It Ain't So," This Just In, January 28, 2005).
Names mentioned by the Globe, whose coverage of Summers's troubles has tended to be sensationalistic, included: 1) Donna E. Shalala, president of the University of Miami and former Clinton cabinet member, who, when chancellor of the University of Wisconsin, brought student and faculty speech codes to that campus (the former were thrown out by a federal court, the latter repealed by the Wisconsin faculty senate after Shalala left); 2) Shirley M. Tilghman, scientist and president of Princeton University, who co-signed a shameless public statement attacking Summers for having the audacity to raise honest questions about why women are under-represented in the hard sciences; and 3) Nannerl O. Keohane, past president of Duke and Wellesley, and current member of the six-member Harvard Corporation, which lost its resolve and decided that Summers had to go. (Keohane was described in the Globe as "a scholar of political philosophy [who] has written on France and feminism.") Also mentioned prominently in recent news reports is Drew Gilpin Faust, dean of the Radcliffe Institute, who, while at the University of Pennsylvania, was considered a politically astute but academically unexciting word-and-thought policewoman wedded to ideas not likely to be controversial among those on the faculty who took Summers down.
But even as these names are being circulated in the press, a growing number of respected Harvardians are speaking out, including faculty members who, had they been better organized earlier, might have given the Harvard Corporation the intestinal fortitude to stick it out with Summers. As the Harvard Law Record reported online on March 9, "The deans and faculty of Harvard's graduate schools had a much different picture of the Summers tenure: a positive one, where there were healthy disagreements, but nothing worth resigning over." The Record noted that, at the law school in particular, "public voices" were supportive of Summers. Quoted were law profs Charles Fried, Alan Dershowitz, and William Stuntz (the school's vice-dean for intellectual life, who made the acid observation that Harvard, as the long-time "General Motors of American universities," now has "embraced GM's fate"). It was noted that a pre-resignation poll by the independent undergraduate newspaper the Harvard Crimson found students three-to-one against Summers's resigning, and there's no reason to believe that the students are changing their minds.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Spinner Flys
(thanks SSULLY, I don't like to type)
Personally, my time on the water is far too short & infrequent for me to worry about something like this. Therefore, I really don't care what you call whatever it is that's attached to the end of my tippet as long as it's working!
I remember an old Nick Lyons article/ story where he was fly fishign for eels I think. He tied up a fly that was some type of streamer with something like Alka Seltzer is it to create a bubble trail.
Maybe we should refer to our prefered style of angling as line fishing?
I find all angling methods interesting - I just enjoy fly fishing most of all. Some of the best and most knowledgeable fly fishermen I knew in the UK started out their fishing careers as Coarse fishermen (coarse fishing in the UK is pursuit of any freshwater fish other than salmonids). These guys really knew their watercraft so the transition to fly fishing was relatively easy for them.
Likewise with bait and spin fishermen in saltwater - which is how I used to fish. Early in the season I enjoy stopping off at the big ditch on my way to the Cape to watch the guys live lining herring.
I own a spinning rod and generally pack it when I'm going to a new location. Throwing surface plugs out over a deep channel down in the Caribbean can be a whole lot of fun - you just never know what's going to come up for a look!
What does or doesn't constitute fly fishing is a debate that's been going on since before the last century and will probably (I sincerely hope) still be going on well into the next.
|Dble Haul
I also agree that elitism is not what this site is about. That's why I posted the topic here, because I had a feeling that posters wouldn't start to flame away at each other like on other boards. I see this site as one full of objective and helpful folks. That's the reason that I frequent it.
Thanks for the reply. Just had to do some bait fishing.
This type of thread comes up every year on every board that I read. And what bothers me the most is that it projects an eliteist attitude. Which I might add that this board and it's members are not about. Hence my comment, "that it's only fishing".
Everyone here knows I love to fish. Sometimes fishing is tough. I will fish whatever method it takes to entice a fish to take. But I do prefer certain methods and FF is one of them. I just don't limit myself to that. I agree it is the ultimate challenge, but not the only way to fish. It's an added bonus in this short race called life.
If fishermen you meet in the field or online detect an attitude they may not decide to pursue this beautiful sport of FF and that is my concern. Because when it comes down to it and I catch a nice fish by other means I ALWAYS think in the back of my mind what it would have been like to catch that fish on a flyrod.
Rant over!
Congrats on that fish, sounds like you are having yourself a heck of a year. That kind of finesse (8#) is not what most anglers would consider conventional for the fishery (which was my point). I wish everyone gave as much consideration for the "sport" in sportfishing as you.
On an unrelated note it's possible to go too far on the light side as well, which is a common accusation made against fly fishing. Despite these claims I'm confident that with 9wt or better gear and an aggressive fighting method the fish is in good shape when it takes off like a rocket after release. This applies even more to today's awesome light tackle spinning and level-wind outfits, with fast retrieve rates and silky drags light tackle tames big fish efficiently... as Sully's fish proves.
That being said, as a fly-only angler I think I'd pop 8# tippet every time with fish over mid-30" range trying to get them in for a quick release. I use 12# for light tippets (flats) and 15# for heavy (rips). On occasion, I will use 20# in the big surf (e.g. Nauset) to land big fish in the pounding surf effectively. Fly size also plays a big part, I will override as needed to turn a big fly over.
Flies, not flies who cares it's only fishing.
Funny I should come across this. I haven't thought about flies mounted behind inline spinners in years and now have the subject come up three times in a week this discussion, a comment a fly shop owner made and got a shadowbox of old flies for Xmas that had a McGinty mounted behind a spinner in it.
The shop owner, who ties a great many of his own flies for sale, said there was a lot of interest in fly/spinner combos just now but he was having trouble finding appropriate spinner blades.
The shop is in Richmond Va. and I suspect the interest in fly/spinners reflects the smallmouth orientation of that area. I also suspect it reflects a lingering lack of confidence in their and their equipment's ability on the part of newer flyfishers. I can recall figuring ways to use my fly rod as an inefficient spinning rod before I learned how to actually catch fish with true flies.
I think if you go the "weighted fly is not a fly" route then you logically need to also concede that a dry fly with floatant applied to it is not a fly.
Personally I think this fly/not a fly issue is only a real issue when considering regulations or rules to some sort of contest. Other than that ... to each his own.
|For me ,I don't consider a weighted fly as a Non-fly.. I mean even in the trout ranks I have used a number of "weighted" nymph paterns and the Clouser ,although arguably a "jig ,is a fly to me. This is particularly true of say a Sedotti Slammer... tied similarly to a lefty's deceiver but wth a couple variations. However.. it is generally tied with a lead keel as are anumber of pure feather patterns.
Call me mr. double standard.
When I fish for steelhead, I never use weighted flies. I think one can move a steelhead to a well-swum fly and there is really no need given sinktips and all the tricks we have up our sleeves nowadays. I don't tie them or use them.
If and when I get to fish the Gaspe or Scotland's Dee / Spey or other legendary AS rivers, you won't see anything but my finest unweighted salmon patterns on the tippet.
When I fish for trout a beadhead nymph when fishing a nymph off a dropper doesn't bother me or make me feel 'dirty' but I prefer woolly buggers over beadhead buggers and dries over all of the above; for trout.
When I fish for bonefish, weighted eyes are used on the many popular bonefish flies and I think they are important. I caught my first bonefish in a patchwork of coral bits, turtle grass and sand and if the point of the hook was hanging below the fly I would have never been able to keep it out of the obstacle course the bones were feeding on. Two links of a bead chain don't make my crazy charlies jigs, although I guess they are jigs in essence. They are still flies to me, saltwater flies.
When I fish for stripers, I use a variety of flies to suit the forage I want to imitate. Lately I have been focused on the sand eel, which can be tied hook up or hook down. For hook down patterns I favor epoxy body "flies", for hook up I like an adaptation of a streamer and the crazy charlie design. I believe that chronologically Bob Clouser's deep minnow followed the Florida saltwater angler's creations, and that the deep minnow is based on the same principles as the charlie. Both are in wide use today, and although by steelhead or salmon fly standards they are indeed not within my personal taste threshold but for the eat-or-be-eaten world of the briny surf I could really care less about the elegance of the fly, and enjoy poppers, sliders, and other contraptions for fish that may require steel tippets to prevent their teeth from sawing off the fly in an instant. Using a fly rod for 30 pound striped bass is in itself a concession when conventional tackle for the same fish is a 12 foot telephone pole surf stick and a 3-ballbearing spinning reel with 30 pound test and swivels the size of black jelly beans.
I guess for me it depends on what I am going after!
Besides, the only truly unweighted fly is the one without a metal hook!
Well let me lay down the law here.. keep in mind this is not my opinion this is a fact of life
Spinner/fly = spinner= lure = not a fly
weighted fly=Jig= not a fly
|Dble Haul
Thank you....
Thanks to those who responded to the poll. I'm working on an article about how certain paradigms have changed throughout the history of flyfishing and tying, especially about what actually constitutes a fly. It's interesting to see how attitudes and materials change over time......spinner flies were very mainstream from the late 1800s until about WWII. Of course, their departure from flyrods was due at that time to the advent of the spinning reel, but that's another history.
Tod, I just got my issue of Fly Tyer (a few days late due to my recent address change). I plan to read the article that you mentioned very soon. Thanks.
I think that John's post was very insightful and probably sums everything up best: it's a personal choice that eventually falls under local regulations. Well put.
BTW, the responses of this small poll are very much in line with what I've been learning at the flyshops, among friends, and in the recent literature. You guys are a very representative group!
flies or lures
My humble opinon tells me that any non fixed attachment to a hook that will rotate about the axis of said hook should not be called a FLY. I am sure we have all Fished wiith Flashers , spinners and all sorts of additional hardware attractors but we at that time did not refer to it as flyfishing. You can throw a fly with a spinning rod with a weighted bobber , or what have you but it is not FLY FISHING We could use rods and line systems to propel just about any form of attractor man made or natural that man has come up with to chase fish with but in my opinion that is not fishing with the fly unless we tied that to the hook
I will also state that I have thrown the occasional plastic egg to the salmon and following cuthroat trout but have also felt a little bit guilty about using it but have felt no pangs about using a tied imitation in wool.
MY .02 saltRon
They are all lures. Feathers and fur too. But then I like to call my nine weight a pole. It pisses some people off for some reason. "Hey, check out my bamboo pole".
Fly fishing on the other hand is a style of presentation. It is too early for this thread, but at least it is still civil. Other forums are melting down as we speak.:eyecrazy:
