This section highlights the map units (i.e., rocks and unconsolidated deposits) that occur in Voyageurs National Park and puts them in a geologic context in terms of the environment in which they were deposited and the timing of geologic events that created the present landscape.
Some of the oldest rocks in the world are exposed in Voyageurs National Park. About 2.5- 4.5 billion years ago (Ba), plate- tectonic processes generated a number of isolated areas of continental crust. In North America, rocks formed by these early tectonic events are found in Minnesota, Wyoming, parts of Canada, and Greenland.
These bedrock units were shaped and carved by at least four periods of glaciation. The most recent continental glaciation in North America ended about 10,000 years ago. All evidence of the geologic history that has occurred between these two widely separated periods is missing from Voyageurs and most of the Canadian Shield.
In late Archean time (2.8- 2.5 Ba), repeated episodes of continental collision and north- south directed compression and subduction generated a mountainbuilding episode known in North America as the Algoman Orogeny. This orogeny formed the gneisses, schists, and granites exposed today in Voyageurs National Park (Miller et al. 1987; Kiver and Harris 1999). Subduction of oceanic crust beneath the cratonic crust generated volcanic islands in the Precambrian sea. Zones of thick, basaltic lava accumulated in linear basins (backarc basins) formed between the less- dense continental crust and the volcanic islands. These lava- filled basins created today's greenstone belts (Kiver and Harris 1999). The oldest known rock in Minnesota, the Ely greenstone, formed at this time.
During the Algoman Orogeny, a great number of tectonic faulting and folding events deformed the rocks in the north- central Minnesota part of the Superior Province. Today, these event are seen in the three geologically distinct subprovinces, Wabigoon ,Quetico, and Wawa (figure 3).
Major fault zones form the boundaries between the three subprovinces. The northeast- southwest trending Rainy Lake- Seine River fault zone separates the Quetico subprovince from the Wabigoon subprovince to the north. South of Voyageurs, the Vermillion fault zone marks the boundary between the Quetico subprovince and the Wawa subprovince (figure 3). The Quetico subprovince has been interpreted as a classical sedimentary basin (fore- arc or back- arc basin) developed between two active volcanic island chains (volcanic arcs) represented by the Wabigoon and Wawa subprovinces (figure 4) (Davis et al. 1994).
These ancestral fault zones developed oblique, northwesterly components of movement that caused extensive strike- slip motion. Locally, segments on these faults were displaced by more than 20 miles (32 km), with the north side of faults displaced to the east (Davis et al. 1994).
At least three phases of deformation folded the bedrock of Voyageurs (Day 1990). The first episode produced southwest - plunging en echelon folds. The second phase of deformation was the most intense in the area and is recognized by small- scale folds, a strong schistosity in the rocks, mineral lineations, and a progressive transition in ductile deformation from the first phase to the second phase. The third phase produced high- angle faults and shear zones. Regional folding appears to have occurred prior to, concurrent with, and after regional metamorphism.
Sedimentary units were complexly folded along eastwest axes and commonly have very steep to vertical dips. North- south directed compression generated regional, arch- like convex folds, or flexures, in sedimentary strata (antiformal syncline or anticlinoria) along eastnortheasterly trends. Regional metamorphism accompanied compressive north- south oriented thrusting and folding.
Later in the orogeny, the granitic plutons found in Voyageurs intruded into the area. Mineral- rich fluids from these plutons produced dikes, pegmatites, and quartz veins that concentrated metallic minerals in parts of the greenstone belts.
Proterozoic Eon (2.5-0.5 Ba)
Prolonged Erosion (570 Ma - 0.19 Ma)
During the Pleistocene, glaciers scooped out Lake Superior's basin along the trend of the Midcontinent Rift. At the east end of Lake Superior, the bottom of the lake is 1,302 feet (397 m) below the surface at an elevation of 700 feet (213 m) below sea level (Kiver and Harris 1999).
To the west of Voyageurs, Lake Agassiz formed during glacial retreat. Meltwater from the last continental glacier, backed- up because the north- flowing rivers that drained into Hudson Bay were blocked by ice. Water began to collect in the Red River valley in western Minnesota about 12,000 years ago and then spread over eastern North Dakota and adjacent Canadian Provinces. Lake Agassiz covered the Voyageurs area during glacial retreat from about 11,400 to 9,500 years B.P. (Davis et al. 1994).

I need an help with GDB
I don't know if it the right place where to ask an help.
Anyway, I'm writing an exploit for the new proftpd stack overflow vulnerability.
Infact, I already analyzed the stack and created the exploit... the problem is that it works only if I install proftpd in the debug mode.
I know there is a way with GDB to attach the pid of the process running in a normal way ( for "normai", I mean withou debug options ) in order to keep a neat stack on which I can work...
In other words, if u want to develope an exploit for a vulnerable linux service with root privilages... what would u do?
Thanks in advance... I hope my italienglish is enought easy to understand!!

I will really appreciate helps to start in my project.
My idea is to add some fun with LED Strips at home.
What I have difficulties to start is to chose a Arduino board.
I do not know how many I will buy but for sure to start I will start small to grow slowly as my knowledge will grow.
I am looking for LED strips and I am asking some questions to myself.
So, if I understand clearly, I need the strip (that's an evidence), the Mega board (also an evidence) and some power.
In the product description, it is mentioned that the strip works with a DC 5V/10amps.
Just for my curiosity, if I want for example 3 x 4m of this LED strips controlled by a same Arduino board, could it be possible ?

Will play at 10th ranked Michigan State Thursday
MADISON - The Badger men's basketball team fell five spots to 22nd in this week's Associated Press national poll.
Wisconsin had been ranked 17th last week, but a 69-56 loss to Purdue Sunday at the Kohl Center sent the Badgers lower in this week's poll.
Gonzaga became the number one ranked team in the country for the first time in school history. Indiana is second, Duke third, Kansas fourth and Georgetown fifth.
Other Big Ten schools ranked include Michigan seventh, Michigan State 10th and Ohio State 14th.
Marquette went up two places and is now ranked 15th in the nation.
The Badgers have two road games remaining in their regular season. Thursday night, Wisconsin plays at Michigan State and next Sunday at Penn State.

The Memos Prove We Didn't Torture
The Red Cross was completely wrong about 'walling.'
By DAVID B. RIVKIN JR. and LEE A. CASEY
The four memos on CIA interrogation released by the White House last week reveal a cautious and conservative Justice Department advising a CIA that cared deeply about staying within the law. Far from "green lighting" torture -- or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees -- the memos detail the actual techniques used and the many measures taken to ensure that interrogations did not cause severe pain or degradation.
Interrogations were to be "continuously monitored" and "the interrogation team will stop the use of particular techniques or the interrogation altogether if the detainee's medical or psychological conditions indicates that the detainee might suffer significant physical or mental harm."

Choreographer Twyla Tharp to speak on creativity, Oct. 15
Posted October 7, 2004; 05:56 p.m.
Twyla Tharp, choreographer of more than 125 dances -- including several Broadway shows and many films -- will speak at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 15, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St. She will discuss "How To Tap the Creativity Within Each of Us."
In 1965, Tharp began the company Twyla Tharp Dance. She has choreographed many works for that troupe as well as others, including the Paris Opera Ballet, New York City Ballet and Martha Graham Dance Company.
On Broadway, her 1985 staging of "Singin' in the Rain" played for 367 performances before embarking on an extensive national tour. Her dance musical "Movin' Out," with Billy Joel, premiered on Broadway in 2002 and earned her a Tony Award in 2003.
In film, Tharp has collaborated on "Hair," "Ragtime," "Amadeus," "White Nights" and "I'll Do Anything." She has choreographed, directed and produced several television specials, including "Baryshnikov by Tharp," which won two Emmy Awards as well as a Director's Guild of America Award.
Also the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, Tharp is the author of two books: "Push Comes to Shove," an autobiography; and "The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life," which will be the basis of her talk at Princeton.
As a Belknap Visitor in the Humanities, Tharp joins a distinguished roster of eminent writers and artists that includes Chuck Close, Merce Cunningham, Nadine Gordimer, Don DeLillo, Arthur Miller, Richard Serra and Maurice Sendak, who have come to the University through a program created in memory of Chauncey Belknap of the class of 1912.
The public is invited to the talk, which is hosted by the Humanities Council and the Program in Theater and Dance .

C&R- Are you in or out???
On the first day I became a salmon angler I also became a catch and release angler. There were no great political speeches and beatings of the chest, it was just from the first time i held a salmon in my hands I decided, then and there, which road I would take. Actually, it may have evn been years later that i realized what i was and that i had been a C&R guy all along. I have never killed one,, never even thought of maybe taking just one as it couldnt possibly hurt anything. I have bought into this practice 100%. I have heard the theories that too many fish in a system may actually be detrimental to the stocks. Hearing and believing are two different things entirely. I guess the reason for the post was a topic raised on another board where a member stated that catch and release only benefits in the short term and that the main goal should be habitat orientated. I agreed to a point, though couldnt agree with the statement that C&R"will not benefit the species"
It got me to thinking as to the legitamite reasons for C&R and why it is so important in todays salmon world. I know why I practice and believe in it but i thought I would like to hear why others practice and believe in it too.
By the way, this goes for wild steelhead as well. Wild Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon,, jeez,,, just the sound makes my hair stand on end.
This isnt a poll to see who practices,, just a thread to hear why you do.

"Well, this is called patience by those who don't know. But it is nothing at all like patience. It is hope, undying, unquenchable, the heart and soul of salmon fishing".
Letters to a Salmon Fisher's Sons
Salmon Chaser:
I am with you on C&R; I release all of my grilse and salmon. Habitat and logging are important issues and shouldn't be neglected. But, the only thing that we as anglers can do is release our salmon. The theories of ocean temps being too warm, too cold, too many seals, etc are beyond our control. Proper managment of the resource is what has brought salmon back in Quebec and I hope that will continue (I believe that the management in Quebec is working well).
I do believe, though, that C&R is a personal choice and that it can't be forced upon anyone.
I can only say that in Quebec the government and the river associations keep a very close eye on the populations and are quick to take measures when necessary. A couple of years ago when the fish were late and many (inlcuding myself thought the worse) rivers went to C&R very quickly (the fish were late that year). The rivers that have had declining runs like the St. Jean, Dartmouth, and Grande have seen their regulations change and salmon numbers have rebounded.
Today, the number of salmon on those rivers is noticeably more than a few years ago and all have the option of being open for the retention of large salmon. The Dartmouth is the only one of those that does allow large salmon to be retained but only after a mid-season count is done to make sure that there is an ample number of spawners in the river. The river managers and the governement must balance the resource against the needs and desires of anglers and I believe they are doing a good job.
There has been talk in Quebec about changing the tag system from the present system of 7 tags (for large and/or small salmon). This will in all likellihood involve input from everyone concerned (gov't, anglers, river managers, etc).
39 more days until opening day on the Gaspe. I will be on the York. Where will others be?

i have kept maybe 3 grilse in the 8 years i have been fishing. Now i feel there is no need to keep them and i learned much more about the fishery than when i first started. I have all the pacific salmon i can eat.
Just in talking to my dad and friends who have been fishing for atlantics for 60 plus years the ups and downs of the fishery that they have experienced are amazing.
Hearing the difference between the 1970s and today as far as size of fish returning makes me believe in what we are doing with CnR and i hope that our efforts today are as noticeable to me as they have been to my friends and family.
Great release shot!
Where and when was the picture taken? Did you ever catch the shows on Outdoor channel?
Last edited by billg; 04-22-2005 at 11:37 PM.
i havent caught the newer ones yet. I believe my friend has them "TiVo"ed for me but i am not possitive...
That photo is from Jimmy's Pool, Restigouche River, new brunswick. A very bright day. July 7 2004 On a rusty rat if i remember correctly
David, you and i have to fish together someday!! And by the way, that is an awfully small little fish you just let go
And yes, onr here and one there does not hurt. One male grilse from time to time is entirely irrelevant in the grand scheme(even better if its a hatchery).
I am not so set that i cant see the (whats the word) in keeping a grilse from time to time. I choose not to and thats just me. Bill, You may or may nort know how i stand on the retention of MSW salmon,,, if you dont,, I think its appalling!!!!!!!!!!
Regardless of counts, individual rivers, provinces or countries,,, the killing of a large salmon should carry a prison sentence in my eyes I have seen it firdt hand on the Matapedia and Matane and it almost makes me cry at the thought of seeing those big fish smacked and tossed into those clear plastic body bags that are so popular up there.
With regards to your comment of C&R being a personal choice- I agree but dont be afraid to voice an opinion astream though as how else are they going to know?
What is the number of tags they are shooting for?? PEI Has just gone down to four from seven,, and Robert Anderson on the River Philip(Nova Scotia) has been pushing for a decrease to two for that system.
BTW Bill, last year you had some friends of mine with you. They bid the trip you donated to the PEISA dinner. Blaine dunnett, Jean Beauregard, Tom Mann , and Mark Duguay. All had a wonderful trip!!! Perhaps you and i will meet on a river somewhere and someday.

Letters to a Salmon Fisher's Sons
Fine here is a little guy about to go back. I love looking at these pictures and wondering where these fish are, if i am going to meet them again, or if i am going to catch their progeny later in my life. There was one fish with a big seal or net mark on it that we caught twice 2 years ago. Very distinct mark. I think it was about 7 days apart. But great to be able to catch it twice.
I am going to have to find some of the old hard copies of pictures we have... there are some good release shots in there.
I'm mostly a C& R fisherman .I will ,however, keep the occasional fish ,and that does include the very occasional Atlantic.
Bill mentioned Habitat and logging practices.
THIS IS ,IMHO, the prime important factor in protecting the species !
You mentioned the Matane and Matapedia rivers. The Matane is well known for it's particular horror show,in that very few fish are released. That being said, (and please don't get me wrong here, I'm NOT condoning aggressive C&K practices)the very long stretch of head waters of this river are aggressively protected , resulting in one of Quebec's largest run of fish. If this practice was followed on other Quebec rivers we'd definately see greater returns of Salmon. Personally ,harassing fish, even when practicing C&R, on sectors such as Maison Blanc on the York, sector 5 on the Madeleine and Sector 6 on Grande Riviere is nothing short of criminal ! Especially indulging in the sport during hot summer months ! May I humbly include the ungracefull practice of intentionally fishing for black Salmon as a damaging factor to returns?

Morning Salar-1
I must say I agree with your last post!
Catch & Release in pools holding 100 to 400 fish in low water conditions, I think should be dry fly only and NO MORE than 2 releases / angler.
- respect for the salmon
- respect for the anglers fishing the next day
- I would ban mid-sink lines and stripping flies in low water conditions pools.
On another point, we are a very few permitted to fish (since yesterday) on the three Gaspé rivers for black salmon ( until May 25th). It's an experimental fishing...(not open to public) to see if there could be a good fishery etc...
I'll keep you posted with photos and our catches, if any.
And as you say, it must be "graceful" fishing!!!!!
(out with my spey notes..... )
Keep'em in the water!!

We enjoyed having your friends up last season. They were a lot of fun and really enjoyed themselves. They spoke highly of you.
I haven't kept a grilse in 8 years (11 for a big salmon) and won't in the future, regardless of whether the runs return to historical numbers. And, I don't relish seeing salmon either killed on the river or brought to a zec for registration purposes.
As Brian knows, there is a long tradition in Quebec (they are not the only anglers who register large salmon) of retaining salmon. Catch and release is fairly new to the province; there has only been a C&R license for about 7 years. In that time a lot of changes have occurred. The introduction of C&R; rivers being managed as C&R rivers instead of being completely shut down to fishing (ie Maine); C&R periods on rivers; C&R zones on rivers, etc. This has not taken place overnight but is an evolution. Personally I would like to see C&R mandatory for large salmon but that is a decision of many as I have mentioned.
I do have the choice about whom I take as a client and we are a catch and release camp. Last season guests retained 3 grilse and no large salmon. This season we are only taking full C&R clients (I have turned away several potential bookings) and that is my choice. Most of the commercial establishments on the Gaspe that I am aware of share the same views as myself. There are still a few that do take customers who retain large salmon but that, too, is their choice.
I am not sure what has been proposed relative to tags. I would think that this info. will become publicized as the process for change (or potential change) moves forward.
I am not sure what your concern is with sector 12 on the York or sector 6 on the Grande. The fish have plenty of room to spread out and rest in these areas. If you prohibited fishing in zone 6 on the Grande how would you propose making up that lost revenue? That represents over $30,000 to the zec in rod fees every year and is one of the most scenic places to fish, period. No traffic, no garbage, tranquility, lots of moose, deer and bear, etc.
As to fishing in low water, as long as people properly play salmon and make sure they are adequately revived there is no issue with fishing in low water. When water temps are too warm salmon simply shut down and don't take flies. Those of us who fish for them in mid-August during low water understand that if you haven't hooked up by noon it is time for the beach! Having spent more time fishing in August and September than most (my home river doesn't open until August 1 and I have been fishing there since 1979) I have seen very few dead fish in a river (the presumtion is that they would die from overplaying, water temps, etc. Last season I saw 2 and I don't think my guides saw more than another couple. Considering that we had at least 4 guides on the rivers, particularly during the low, warm periods, I would say that is not bad.
As to fishing techniques I would presume that most anglers know what they are doing and don't have a problem if people want to throw dries, wets, streamers, or choose to strip these flies. If a fish grabs a fly it grabs a fly. Personally I don't have a problem with 3 releases in a day on a river or in a sector. There are plenty of 0 fish days. Again, this is a personal choice.
Bill Greiner
Brian, you raised some valid points and on most I'am with you. However, I really dont see the argument of large runs on the matane justifying the slaughter that goes on every season. Should the Miramichi system be opened up to MSW retention because 60,000 salmon, or more, head up river to spawn? Why is it that Quebec must be the only Salmon province that has a MSW kill fishery?? While other provinces and river groups are bucking for a decrease in tags, the numbers of large salmon killed in Quebec are in the thousands, and thousands.
brian, ann, bill, and others,, i have asked this question on other boards without any definitive answers so I''l try it again. has there ever been a proposal to Government, ZEC's, etc, to abolish the killing of large HEN fish??
I think that kelt fishing cme about as a way to make more money(for the camps) and also to keep the guides on the river longer than the 2 months they would normally work in the bright season. As for the harm it causes??? There are definately alot of salmon that die each spring that would otherwise have made it to sea. There are a lot of "cowboys" out in the spring and some awful treatment of the salmon when caught played and released. There is a practice used by some on the Miramichi that has the angler"toss" the salmon from the boat and this, they think, revives the fish quicker.
Do I think angling for blacks has an impact if they are hooked played and released properly? Well to be honest, i wouldnt do it if I thought it had a negative effect.
Would I stop if they closed the black salmon season? You bet!
Ann, is this pool guarded 24/7 when they are being held up like that?

I have never fished for black salmon partly because I don't know if there would be a negative impact. My instinct says yes but I have nothing to base that on froma scientific perspective. I had this same discussion with a Quebec biologist this week with respect to the black salmon fishing that will occur in Gaspe this year. It seems as though this issue was rasied at last year's annual meeting and though many doubt that it will provoke much interest or prove successful they are going to give it a test run.
The Gaspe rivers are much smaller than the Restigouche or Miramichi and have only a fraction of the numbers of salmon. Add that to the fishing sectors for black salmon being well above tidal water (lots of snow still along the rivers and roads) and it does not seem to me that this will be viable. We will know shortly.
I do understand that in NB black salmon fishing extends the season for people to work and brings in $ to the region. Without strong scientific data to prove harm, I personally don't have a problem with the lodges putting people to work.
The pools with barriers (to protect the salmon) like sector 12 york are monitored on a constant basis to guard against poaching.
Your right it doesn't justify the slaughter,and it IS a slaughter,but the fact remains that the run is strong due to the upper sanctuary.I don't fish the river any more and never really did like fishing the river. Besides, the Cap Chat ( C&R) is right next door and is just a gorgeous , and well manged,river to fish !
Bill, you're right ,however, both these sectors WERE sactuaries and SHOULD heve remained so considering the the rather low runs on both rivers.
Ann is also right in saying that if fishing on these sectors is allowed, that NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING should be allowed except for FLOATING line AND a dry fly. anything else should be subject to immediate deportation (we all know NO Quebecer would be using anything else under these circumstances)

I have no problem with the floating line but still believe that anglers should have the choice about flies and technique. There are anglers who don't like throwing dries under any conditions.
i agree with you 100% that river management is responsible for the good numbers of salmon that return to the Matane each year. I have met fishermen from all over Canada and the US and as far away as Ireland that come to the Matane each year for the sole purpose of going home with a large fish. There argument is the same. Historically the runs remain and therefore they feel they are not harming the resource.
As to the discussion of which lines to use and which tactics,, well i run into the same sort of thing on the Margaree in the fall. If 10 of us are fishing tips and large fall patterns and two are fouling fish,, well we are ALL fouling fish and grouped as dredgers and jiggers. There are alot of ill feelings amongst locals, guides etc on the Margaree as to the use of sinktips in that system. Many anglers use them all the time and wont change when conditions dictate and that may be the root of the problem. There are times when conditions do indeed require a certain method and the sectors in question SCREAM of bombers, wulff's etc.
Bill I realize the Matapedia is many times larger than the rivers you guide on but the spring fishing that Pete Dube (amongst others)offers is wildly popular.
Personally I feel that swinging flies to kelts in the cold flows of spring offer no real threat to salar. The real thraet is kelts coinciding with bait/rapalas and the unknowing, uncaring hordes of spring trout fishermen and woman and kids. That is where the real horror lies. I would love to see to see the opening of Trout season on PEI moved to May15 as this would ensure safe passage to the kelts as they head out to sea to grow
Bill my friends also spoke highly of you too.

I didn't say it was dead any more than all the deer in the woods that you that you didn't get to kill on opening day. ( I know you aren't the sort to brag about your misses.) But, there are a lot of them that are ending up as french fries and hamburger. Good Huntin'!

Sarge, just between you and me. I call myself huntinman because I love to hunt. Same with the photos on the avatar. I don't proclaim to be better than anyone else at any kind of hunting. I just love being out there, especially with my son or my granddaughter.
Blaze orange regards,
Here are my son and my granddaughter from last year. This was a season in which I never pulled the trigger, yet it was the most rewarding season of my life. If you can't understand that, you don't understand real hunters.

Thanks for the pix, Huntinman! I am a hunter myself. I wouldn't do the dog games if it didn't apply to hunting. I love hunting and the only thing I regret is my aging body will probably bring it to an end much sooner than I wish.
My remarks are intended to be more allegorical than personal. I hope you will accept them as such.
Gamewise, I didn't see a deer much less shoot at one. But, sometimes the quiet retreat is good for the soul. I had lousy luck pheasant hunting, but got my arm sufficiently sore shooting sky carp.
What part of Tennessee do you live? I expect to pass through your great state sometime in the next 36 hours.

Cape Krusenstern
National Monument
The geological framework of the northwest Alaska region was set by the late Paleozoic era, 600 million years ago. During the Triassic period, 225 million years ago, the site of the present Brooks Range was stabilized, and limestone and chert were formed. The process of mountain building began during the mid Jurassic period. 135 million years ago the land was intensely folded and faulted, and the existing east west fault trends within the area were established. In late Miocene time, 25 million years ago, seas flooded much of the formerly dry area of the Chukchi zone but retreated somewhat to form a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. This land area was again overlain by seas about 4 million years ago and remained so until approximately one million years ago. The ice advances that occurred during Pleistocene time, one million years ago, caused a substantial drop in sea level and a consequent exposure of the land mass known as Beringia. The last retreat of the glaciers established the present sea level approximately 4,500 years ago.
Bedrock geology of the inland area north and east of the Krusenstern Lagoon includes rocks from Precambrian to Devonian times. Limestone, dolomite, chert, and phyllite are greatest in abundance. The southern extension of the Mulgrave Hills within the monument, known as the Tahinichok Mountains, contains dolomite, sandstone, shale, and limestone from the Devonian to Mississippian periods. Glaciofluvial deposits are found over an area between the Noatak River to Kotlik Lagoon and between the Kilikmak and Jade Creek drainages. Within the monument this area was twice affected by glacial advances during the Pleistocene epoch. The first glacial advance occurred during the middle Pleistocene time (Hopkins, 1977). This event occurred between 250,000 and 1,250,000 years ago. The second, and more recent, glaciation correlates with the Illinoisan glaciation of the central United States and occurred between 125,000 and 250,000 years ago. During both periods of glaciation large glaciers extended down the Noatak River drainage, across the lowland area east of the Kotlik Lagoon, and left the present glaciofluvial deposits. The monument has not been glaciated for approximately 125,000 years. A unique feature within the monument is a recognizable Illinoisan glacial esker or gravel ridge marking the bed of a subglacial stream (Hopkins 1977). An esker of this age (over 100,000 years old) is considered rare.
The coastal area of the monument north of Kotzebue Sound is a beach ridge plain, which has received sediments deposited by longshore currents over the last several thousand years. The primary purpose of the Cape Krusenstern National Monument is to protect and interpret this beach ridge complex, which contains archeological sites depicting every known cultural period in arctic Alaska over a 6,000 year period.
The major soil types associated with the monument include the upland or mountain slope soils and those associated with the lowland areas nearer the coast. The lower slopes of the western Igichuk Hills and the Mulgrave Hills are covered with poorly drained, gravelly or loamy soils with a surface layer of peat. Depth to permafrost is variable. The upper slopes of these hilly areas have well drained gravelly or loamy soils with a deep permafrost table.
Along the coastline of the monument and flanking Krusenstern, Kotlik, and other major lagoons are marine and alluvial deposits that form beaches, spits, and deltas. Soils of lowland areas along the coast are poorly drained, with a surface layer of fibrous peat and a shallow permafrost table. The peat layer ranges from 20 to 61 cm in depth.
Soil temperatures at nearby Kotzebue at a depth of 30 range from a high of 4°C during July and August to less than -9°C during most of February and March (Selkregg 1975). Because of the lag time between summer temperature highs near the surface and those at greater depths, the maximum depth of soils at more than -1.1°C is reached in Kotzebue in December.
Permafrost plays an important role in the topographic development and appearance of lands within the monument. The lowland areas of the monument are underlain by thick continuous permafrost. Permafrost can reach depths of 610 m, but generally reaches a maximum depth of 427 m within the inland portions of the monument. At nearby Kotzebue permafrost depths are generally less than 73 m because of saltwater intrusion at that depth (City of Kotzebue 1971).
A variety of permafrost features are evident within the monument, particularly in the lowland areas. These include thaw lakes, ice wedge polygons, pingos, frost mounds, and solifluction lobes. Many of these features are caused by localized melting of ground ice, resulting in thermokarst formation.

It's been a tough time for multinationals operating in China recently. Coca-Cola (KO) is being investigated for "illegal mapping," a government-linked research organization slammed China's reliance on Google's (GOOG) Android platform, and BHP Billiton (BHP) was accused of bribing officials to win an Olympics-related bid.
But one group of multinational corporations has some good news to report: The baby-formula makers. According to Oppenheimer's Ingrid Yin, they've been winning market share from local competitors.
The share gain trend of large domestic companies in the last few months finally reversed in January. The top five foreign infant-formula brands gained 210 basis points in market share, with 150bps of that coming at the expense of China's top five domestic players. Meanwhile, domestic players ranked below the top 10 also lost share: 70bps….[C]onsumers are still much concerned about quality issues for domestic products, and the solid demand for imported formula in January was favorable for top foreign brands to consistently gain market share.
This reverses the trend from the last few month of 2012, when domestic manufacturers had been gaining market share on foreign companies. Big gainers included Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN), whose market share rose 1 percentage point to 13.5% of the Chinese market, Abbott Laboratories (ABT), which added 0.7 percentage point to 6.8%, and Pfizer's (PFE) Wyeth division, which gained 0.5 percentage point to 10.3%.
Numerous instances of tainted formula have been reported during the past five years, including Yili Industrial Group's acknowledgement that mercury had contaminated some of its products last year. China's government has been trying to convince its population that its homegrown products are safe.
Mead has dropped 1.3% today to $70.76, Abbott has dropped 0.3% to $34.88 and Pfizer has gained 0.4% to $28.04.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Northwestern has paid particular attention to Mississippi State's 38-13 loss to Texas A&M on Nov. 3. So has MSU.
The Bulldogs were badly burned that game by a mobile quarterback, Johnny Manziel, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy. Kain Colter is no Johnny Football, but he can do a lot of different things as Northwestern's starting QB.
So MSU, which plays the No. 21 Wildcats in Tuesday's Gator Bowl, are going to make sure Colter doesn't run wild. Defensive coordinator Chris Wilson said one or two defenders will be assigned to spy on Colter in hopes of containing a player who's rushed for 820 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.
Wilson said he had players spying on Manziel "at times, but we (have) simplified it a lot more. Now it's going to be one guy or two guys that always have him in their vision, and that way we can kind of mix up our looks for him."
Wilson said the spy needs to be someone on the "second level," which means a linebacker. He didn't say who it would be, but Matt Wells or Deontae Skinner would be likely candidates to keep check on Colter.
"That's the biggest thing we learned from A&M. You've got to have a second-level guy who is designated specifically to tackle this guy," Wilson said.
Colter said Northwestern has watched the Texas A&M film a lot and sees similarities between his offense and the Aggies'.
"I feel like that's a good comparison," Colter said "We do some different stuff as far as the option and things like that."
Colter, a junior, does more than run. He's completed 68.7 percent of his throws for 796 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions.
Colter, who splits snaps with sophomore Trevor Siemian. will also line up at receiver on occasion. Against Indiana he caught nine passes for 131 yards.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Welcome to the forum,
For basic panfish and bass you'll use a floating line almost the entire time.
As flydoc said, stick to short leaders.... poppers are a fun way to get started especially in sizes small enough for panfish (size 8 or smaller). This is usually productive from April to October. If youre targeting bass specifically larger poppers and fish imitators (streamers) work well, with poppers being most productive at dawn and dusk. A great time to flyfish is right after ice out and the crappie start moving shallow. The best method is to use a small minnow imitation stripped with a jerky retrieve...
have fun and great fishing
Nick- Welcome to the Forum! I'm a Mass native, but spent 12 years in school at Iowa City (UI Med School grad). Started my flyfishing in Iowa- for general freshwater (panfish, bass) would rec 5 or 6 weight rod with same weight floating line (weight forward floating line easiest to cast). Start with short (no more than 7.5 ft) tapered leaders. For flies, would start with panfish poppers (easy to see the take, and great fun to catch bluegills and crappies on these things), muddler minnows, and "terrestrials" (black ant flies, black beetle flies). Cast out to a likely spot, then slow "twitching" retrieve until you get a strike or need to cast again.
Not much in the way of trout streams- I had to drive close to 3 hrs to get to a stocked stream near the hatchery in Manchester (NE Iowa)- only to almost fall over backwards after getting "buzzed" by a wild turkey flying down from it's roosting tree!
Have fun, and Go Hawkeyes!
(Jim Shepherd, M.D.)
Wow, it's been dead around here, everybody must wrapped up with holiday cheer.
Anyhow, welcome Nick. Sounds like you're going about things the same way everybody else did when starting out. Nothing wrong with that. And remember, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. I'll leave the advice to those that fish the freshwater, who I'm sure will respond. All I can tell you is start out with a floater and a few woolybuggers.

Midwesterners? HELP!!
I am an extremely novice fisherman when it comes to fly fishing. I vacation up in Missoula, MT every other year or so, and I just decided to try flyfishing. My uncle lives there and had an old rod and reel and an assortment of flies. He was never there while I was in town, so I've never had one lick of training. I just went to some stream called Rock Creek, watched the guys fishing it, and would go upstream (out of sight) and try to mimic their casts. As long as I had clearance, I learned to be a decent caster (I think). I even had enough blind and dumb luck that caught I actually caught some trout. What fly to use? Um, that one looks neat! Yeah, a REAL greenhorn!
I live in Iowa and stumbled across some articles on fly fishing lakes and rivers for bass. I'm quite intrigued by this and is something I'd like to pursue. I have a really cheap and inexpensive "starter kit" that I found at a garage sale, unopened. It must be 5 years old. Pflueger?? I'm trying to read all I can on the subject and was wondering if any of you with experience could give me some pointers? Specifically: type of flies, type of line (floating or sinking), and type of retrieving method.
Seriously, I am very limited on knowledge. I almost feel bad for posting this, I don't want to insult anyone or seem disrespectful. It's just that I don't know anyone who fly fishes around here, not even the bait & tackle shops were any help. I'd really appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks for reading...

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
J.P. Morgan's Mark Moskowitz and colleagues today offer a revised IT spending forecast that sees some slight signs of hope, even though the number is going down. Writes Moskowitz, "Of note, the 2014 growth outlook still starts with a three-handle," by which he means he now models global IT spending growth next year of 3%, down from 3.6% previously."
But within that are signs of hope such as rates of decline in PCs "moderating," and the prospect services spending could "be modestly up next year."
The notion PC sales are "bottoming" causes him to raise his rating on shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) to Overweight from Neutral, with a $35 price target, writing "Currently, we think challenges remain but are easing. Plus, our latest views on PCs and printing are starting to improve."
Moskowitz also raised his rating on shares of Seagate Technology (STX) to Neutral from Underweight, and raises his price target to $55 from $36, and raised Western Digital (WDC) from Overweight to Neutral, with a $100 price target, up from $56.
HP shares are up 64 cents, or 2.4%, at $27.54, while Western stock is up $1.89, or 2%, at $83.55, and Seagate is up $1.52, or 3%, at $52.85.
Shares of Facebook (FB) are up 73 cents, or 1.4%, at $54.54, after Susquehanna's Brian Nowack this morning raised his rating on the shares to "Positive" from Neutral, and raised his price target to $68 from $52, writing that the company "is set to deliver positive revisions and concerns about "ad load capping" and "teen" comments are overblown."
Nowack was asked to come on CNBC a short while ago to discuss the report this morning from The Wall Street Journal's Reed Albergotti, Ben Fritz, and Suzanne Vranica that Facebook will roll out video advertisements on Thursday, citing company comments and unnamed sources.
Said Susquehanna's Nowack, video ads "could be a very big deal for Facebook, because when you have that big an audience, and you start layering on video ads that trade at a much higher average price, it's not a stretch to say it could contribute $1.1 billion extra a year in revenue," on top of $10 billion in expected 2014 revenue.
Nowack asserts that possible revenue from video advertising is not currently factored in Street consensus estimates.
Shares of Twitter (TWTR) continue to trade down today, reversing the surge of the previous two weeks, following a downgrade by James Cordwell of Atlantic Equities, who cut his rating to Hold from Buy, while maintaining a $40 price target, on valuation concerns. Twitter shares are down $1.40, or 2.4%, at $55.21.
The Street continues to mull the announcement yesterday by chip maker Avago Technologies (AVGO) it will purchase LSI (LSI) for $6.6 billion. MKM Partners's Ian Ing reiterates a Buy rating on the stock, and a $53 price target, writing that Avago is "the LeBron James of our Data Center 'Triple Threat'," and that its business will be less "lumpy" as wireless chip sales become a smaller part of the business, with data center chips henceforth making up 42% of sales.
Avago shares are up $2.90, or almost 6%, at $53, while LSI stock is down 3 cents at $10.94.
Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX) are up 78 cents, or 2%, at $35.61, following an article this morning by The Wall Street Journal's Michael Hickins stating that Salesforce.com's (CRM) hosted software will be made available on OpenStack, the freely available software that is increasingly popular for deploying cloud computing. Rackspace has been instrumental in advancing the development of OpenStack. The article cites remarks by Rackspace co-founder Graham Weston, while Salesforce declined to comment.
Salesforce shares are up 42 cents, or 0.9%, at $51.58.
In case you missed it, Tim Bradshaw at The Financial Times this morning writes that Google's (GOOG) "Play Store" application and content store is catching up with Apple's (AAPL) App Store, citing data from an outfit called Distimo that appears to show that spending on the 200 top apps combined rose on Play Store rose to $12 million in November, on average, from $3.5 million a year earlier, giving Google 30% share of app spending, versus 63% for Apple's outlet.
Analysts continue to ponder what may come with BlackBerry's (BBRY) fiscal Q3 earnings report due out this Friday morning, before the opening bell. BMO Capital Markets's Tim Long, reiterating a Market Perform rating, and a $7 price target, writing that "We expect a repeat of last quarter's disappointing performance, mitigated only by lower expectations this time around."
"We expect continued weakness in Smartphone shipments, and we are not modeling any meaningful recovery of BB 10 volumes." He's modeling $1.4 billion in revenue and a 63-cent loss per share, versus consensus for $1.7 billion and a 43-cent loss.
Shares of Time Warner Cable (TWC) are up 79 cents, or 0.6%, at $132.88, following further reports about peers potentially bidding to acquire Time Warner. Reuter's Liana Baker, Soyoung Kim, and Nicola Leske last night reported that Comcast (CMCSA) is considering "three scenarios": a full takeover, a purchase of a part of Time Warner Cable, or a partnership deal with perhaps Charter Communications (CHTR), citing multiple unnamed sources.
And Bloomberg's Alex Sherman reported that Charter has enlisted Goldman Sachs to line up as much as $25 billion in financing for a bid of its own, citing multiple unnamed sources.

Good show. It's getting more complex.

Good show. It's getting more complex.
Ah, yes. I saw that as well.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Olivia.
I get a kick out of some of the things Walter says. Pretty funny stuff.
This show is fantastic! It kind of scares me that nobody really seems to be talking about it - it would be a real shame if this show gets canceled before it has a chance to really flourish.
I really love that even though the science seems so absolutely outlandish they still seem to make it seem plausible.
Plus, I've got a major crush right now on Agent Dunham! SOoo HOT!
I love it. I wach it every week and know alot of people who do. I dont htink this show is going anywhere for awhile. Walter is awesome

i like the show, my wife is hooked, but for me i think it's too X-filish. i mean i still sit and watch it but i guess i'm just waiting for an explosive season finale or something. the storylines are interesting which keeps me coming back for more, but a part of me wonders if this show will continue to deliver or will it fall apart after it's first season.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
You know I remember that X-Files really didn't catch on and become great until about the third season. I'm hoping Fringe (which also really reminds me of X-Files in the best way) does the same, but much sooner; it's already really good.
It was a re-run last night so I caught last weeks episode on Fox.com.
It was a good one. Fringe is better than anything else out there except Terminator.

Hey, there's a novel idea: showing reruns of a show for anyone who might have missed out! Who'd have ever thunk it?! Just think of the possibility this kind of thing has for attracting new viewers to good shows that might not have jumped on at the start!
Seriously though, I remember when this sort of thing was the norm and would often help shows to expand their audiences. I can't begin to count the number of shows back in the day that I discovered in reruns only to end up becoming a regular viewer. I know lots of folks were bellyaching whenever Lost would show reruns early on, but I really don't think ever showing reruns was the problem. The real problem was the overwhelming number of reruns they'd show in place of new episodes right at the beginning of the season (still don't understand why that show takes so long to produce new episodes for...) All of that just seemed to kill the very concept of the rerun, which I've always thought could be very helpful to a show's continued viewership actually. Take a look at Pushing Daisies - one of the absolute best, and certainly the most unique show on right now, and no reruns were shown during the strike as I recall. Now it seems were about to lose that one, and I can't help thinking that rerunning it from the beginning could have been a big help. Same with Reaper - I hear it's coming back, but it's been so long since it's had any presence on air that I'm betting most of the folks who originally watched it probably won't even remember it.
Good call rerunning Fringe, though! I'm giving the network mad props for making a good move!
Since I watch so many shows, it's kind of a nice reprieve now that some shows are going into reruns.

Overlining and crosswinds
Re: Overlining vs underlining?
My experiences with casting in the wind would imply that there is merit to the concept of NOT overloading a rod to defeat wind, but only to a point. In other words, if anyone suspects a 3 weight is gonna cast as well in wind as a 10 weight is nuts. Likewise, if you have a rod that can properly energize a 12 weight line as well as an 9 weight line, then you'll probably do better with the 12wt in wind - particularly with big flies. Of course you'll have to soak your shoulder in a hot bath for the evening, but one would imagine that the ability to defeat wind would be present in that case.
What I tend to do is stay with the prescribed line weight in wind, and play with fly selection as well as leader length to keep the line speed very high through the whole cast. With such a huge population of fly fishermen joining in on the sport, I see lot's of casters who haven't figured out the relationship between cross-wind and injury. Flyfishing is many things, but one of it's greatest shortcomings is the
ability to deal with wind. This is something that the fisherman must do, not the rod or line. A cross-wind is what I call a wind direction that blows from your casting side into your body. As the fly and line pass your central position, it is being brought across your position and thus the fly will often whack you in the head, the back, or legs. This is not a joke, in fact my brother works at MA eye & ear and can show you photos of what a clouser will do to your eye. In one unforgettable case it was not the fly that did the eye in, but the glass polarized lenses that shattered into the eye. I ALWAYS wear polycarbonate, and if you are
talking about casting in wind you should too.
Best things to do in a crosswind:
- Turn around and cast to shore, shooting your back cast at the fish. This switches a cross wind to a favorable wind and often increases your cast (if you angle to let the wind carry the shoot). Sounds hard, but if you do it without fail, it becomes second nature. Teach your young ones to do this.
- Cast lefthanded if you can. I only know a few guys who can do it but it always makes me wish I'd learned. With the two-handed rods, I am more ambidextrous and often do cast lefty. This is another way to reverse a cross-wind.
- Move to another location. When it's blowing a gale on the bayside, it can be peaceful on the Nantucket sound shoreline (especially near bluffs). When Plum Island's bar is getting ripped by an east wind, drive over to Salisbury and put the wind to your left. Why kill yourself?
- Forget about clousers. Weight on the end of the flyline/leader/tippet mechanism is counter to the whole concept of the fly cast. You can get away with it under pleasant circumstances, or when the weight is not significant, but under windy conditions the slingshot style, under energized loop is downright dangerous.
Some guys feel that only fast stiff rods generate line speed. I disagree, line speed by my definition is the amount of kinetic energy driving the loop in a particular direction, and the extent that the loop is fully energized - not the ground speed of the fly as it zings by. Out of ten casts in a stiff headwind, I've consistently found that those that are fully energized are the ones that slice through the wind, regardless of one-weight line differences in the up or down direction. I personally prefer progressive tapers (verses mid-flex or slow) with lightweight, high power (not stiffness) blanks in the 8wt and 9wt classes fished with prescribed line sizes in most cases.
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
Several years ago I was fishing under the conditions you are talking about. Rather than move my skiff to fish a good looking spot I made the mistake of trying to force my fly through a cross wind.Foolishly assuming I could cast and duck I made one false cast on the second false cast the wind gusted. I saw the fly coming but the thing came so dam fast I only had time to turn my head the hook buried deep just under my left eyebrow. It is a foolish and dangerous game to play.
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
just a quick safety note.... buy polarized shooting glasses guys... they are the same money in most cases(or less) and can handle extreme forces better than that $200.00 pair of oakeys etc... my faves are PST (precision shooting techknowlegy) shooting glasses they are about $125.00 and are polarized and also have a special dye in the lens called avian orange. this is one of the things that helps raptors to see so well. the other advantage is that now I can use my glasses for shooting and fishing as well. Tom D
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
Juro, there is another way which has been successfull for me and actually uses the cross wind as distance and direction benefit... I was practicing it on one of our rip trips.. I saw the method from Lefty's book. What I do on the cross wind coming in on the rod side is make a few side casts low to the right (I am Right handed). When I've loaded the rod (not fully) I immediatly move my casting hand close to the upper right side of my head and cast directly overhead. This makes the line and fly go high and over my head somewhat to my left as a result of the right hand cross wind. The fly passes harmlessly over my head in a hugh arc and actually drops in the water like a dry fly... then the line hits the water. I lose no distance and infact have shot the entire fly line since the wind is also helping me. As I say ,I started to practice this on a very light cross wind and perfected it somewhat later in the fall on some pretty nasty cross winds where I would have normally done the backcast method. It is also more comfortable and is certainly less strenuious than the back cast method.
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
nice tip John, guess i better get back to reading Lefty's book!!! Tom D
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
Unless it is imperative to fish the top, i'd suggest going to a denser line and sticking to the line weight that is best for the rod. If you like to fish a full line (ie, not tips or a shooting head), IMHO, nothing cuts the wind like a very high density (type 4-6), full sinking line, such as the Mastery Uniform Sink.
While we're on the overlining topic, I've found it easier to cast in the dark of night with an overlined rod - it slows things down a bit so your mistakes aren't as critical, and helps you to feel the line better, since you can't see how it is behaving.
RE:Overlining and crosswinds
I will always wear glasses for any wind or no wind and especially at night. I agree that night casting slows you down and you go more with feel than sight, and we all know that distance casting is less critical at night anyway.. But one thing I will do at night is bring my clear lens plastic protective gasses or goggles. The same ones I use cutting my lawn or using my chain saw. This gives me the protection I need and has no effect on my night vision. Also, in reponse to Juro's first message above of some time ago... If you try Lefty's over head cast you will never have to load the rod fully for cross winds.

Gertrude Stein famously said "Silent thanks aren't much good to anyone," so let me take her advice and express our thanks to everyone who's been listening, commenting, and spreading the word on Digital Photography Life.
Michael and I have been working hard to make our new show the best it can be. I'd be embarrassed to tell you just how much effort it takes to collect the stories, schedule the interviews, record the audio, put it together, and get out the word about the show. We're not nearing perfection yet, but we hope we're getting better as we go along.
And every time we get a nice email at firstname.lastname@example.com, a kind comment on this blog, or a five-star review on iTunes, it makes us feel that all our labors are worth it.
A few weeks ago, Scott Kelby told us our audience was the greatest one out there. We agree. So, this Thanksgiving, we count you among our blessings, our listeners and readers, who make Digital Photography Life possible and so rewarding.
Whether you observe Thanksgiving or not (we have many overseas listeners) we hope you remember to take time to acknowledge all that you have to be grateful for in this season of reflection. Although some of us may not be as financially or otherwise as we were even a year ago, there is still so much to be thankful for. As the Buddha instructs:
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Iowa settles with subscription-based music seller
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa has reached an agreement with a New York City-based online music retailer to refund a total of $40,000 in subscription fees to people who most likely didn't know they'd enrolled.
The Des Moines Register reports that eMusic agreed to make its enrollment procedures more transparent and will pay the state $3,000 for consumer fraud enforcement.
Attorney General Tom Miller says in a news release that some Iowans had been paying monthly fees for several years, including one person whose fees amounted to $1,600.
The agreement doesn't indicate exactly how eMusic customers may have inadvertently signed up for the service.
An eMusic representative didn't immediately return messages from The Associated Press on Thursday.

Just read about this new resolution by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to discourage Homeopathic treatment in pets. The resolution will be put up for a vote on Saturday, Jan. 5, TOMORROW.
The AVMA has already passed a resolution on Aug. 3, 2012, to discourage the use of Raw Diets, or the Ancestral Diet (what dogs and cats ate in the wild).
AVMA RESOLUTION: Homeopathy Has Been Identified as an Ineffective Practice and Its Use Is Discouraged
RESOLVED, that the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) affirms that
1. Safety and efficacy of veterinary therapies should be determined by scientific investigation.
2. When sound and widely accepted scientific evidence demonstrates a given practice as ineffective or that it poses risks greater than its possible benefits, such ineffective or unsafe philosophies and therapies should be discarded.
3. In keeping with AVMA policy on Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine, AVMA discourages the use of therapies identified as unsafe or ineffective, and encourages the use of the therapies based upon sound, accepted principles of science and veterinary medicine.
4. Homeopathy has been conclusively demonstrated to be ineffective.
You can read the full resolution here on the AVMA website. CLICK HERE
The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has prepared a response of their own. The AHVMA response covers 3 points:
1. The AVMA has models, but actual recommendations about veterinary practice are the responsibility of veterinary state boards. There are a number of states that include homeopathy in their state laws about the practice of veterinary medicine.
2. There are a number of misstatements in the white paper, and we are listing them for delegates.
3. AHVMA believes that when anyone considers a modality, they should talk to people who are considered experts in the field. Before voting, there a task force should be formed which includes experts in the field of homeopathy, to look at further evidence and make recommendations to the HOD. That way delegates to the House can make an informed decision.
You can read the full reply by CLICKING HERE.
I'm sure many of you have successfully used Raw Diets and Homeopathic treatment in treating many senior pets holistically. Many have used it to treat other diseases by boosting the immune system in pets naturally.
Contact info for the AVMA is below. Remember that the vote is tomorrow (Saturday, January 5), so if you want to weigh in, you should do it via email, phone or fax right away:

If you can't be an astronaut, why not eat like one? The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and Cornell University are on a joint mission: Find eight people with qualifications similar to those required by NASA astronaut applicants to take part in a NASA-funded Mars analog habitat study, Hawai'i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, or HI-SEAS.
According to the HI-SEAS website, lengthy space exploration missions have required specialized foods to sustain an isolated crew over long periods of time in places with limited or no access to food in the local environment. Enter prepackaged rehydratable or ready-to-consume foods for meals. Nevertheless, astronauts eating a restricted diet over a period of months ultimately experience "menu fatigue," also known as food monotony. This notion of "menu fatigue" puts astronauts at risk for nutritional deficiency, loss of bone and muscle mass, and reduced physical capabilities. Compounded with the notion of "menu fatigue," only a few of the many available astronaut foods have the three- to five-year shelf life required of foods for a Mars mission.
"I got involved in this study because I served as a crew member in another long-term analog study, in the Canadian High Arctic," said UH Mānoa Information and Computer Sciences Associate Professor Kim Binsted. "So I was highly motivated to figure out how to make tasty food out of shelf-stable ingredients."
The HI-SEAS food study is designed to simulate the living and working experience of astronauts on a real planetary mission and to compare two types of food systems – crew cooked vs. pre-prepared – in the context of a four-month Mars analog mission. Specifically, participants in this group will explore the impact of food preparation, food monotony, nasal congestion and smelling acuity on food and nutrient intake in isolated, confined microsocieties.
In addition, the study explains that crewmembers will wear "spacesuits" whenever they need to venture outside and consume a diet including both freeze-dried and dehydrated foods similar to present-day astronaut foods, plus foods that they prepare themselves from shelf-stable supplies—an alternative approach to feeding crews of long-term planetary outposts. The study will also track the use of habitat resources related to cooking and eating to provide data for future designs of planetary habitats.
Once the eight finalists are selected, they will embark on a five-day training workshop in early summer 2012 on the Cornell University campus in New York to train in research procedures and use of the research equipment, learn how to plan menus and prepare appealing meals from shelf-stable ingredients, and work together to plan their activities for the habitat experiences. The group will then be divided, with six forming the habitat crew and two serving as research support specialists/alternates.
A two-week-long training mission to test research procedures and experience living in a Mars-like environment is planned for the fall of 2012. The last phase of the study, a four-month analog experience, is planned for early 2013.

Nathan Corbett vs. Dzianis Hancharonak at Total Carnage III, March 9
- Written by Rian Scalia
Total Carnage III takes place in Gold Coast, Australia on March 9 and will see the return of Nathan "Carnage" Corbett. Corbett was supposed to fight in December but his opponent, Nikolay Falin, had to pull out at the last minute.
Corbett will face Dzianis Hancharonak of Belarus in Muay Thai rules, with Corbett going for his tenth world title in Muay Thai. Hancharonak boasts a win over Redouan Cairo and is 24 years old with a lot of Muay Thai experience.
It's difficult to find willing opponents to fight Corbett in Muay Thai at 95kg, so Hancharonak is one of the more capable fighters out there in that aspect. Still, Corbett is easily the best Muay Thai fighter at 95kg and Hancharonak faces a tall task ahead of him.
