Having been away from this board for 6 wonderful days spent in the field with my dogs and the person most dear to me, it is a bit sad, thou not unexpected, to read many of the posts following the election.
Many on this board will never evolve past being AWM, and that saddens me. In part because it proves that the issues that are most pressing for the country continue to take a back seat to the rage this group feels over issues that have little to no bearing on themselves. They would rather focus on the RNC hot button talking points than look at our real problems and work together to find a solution. They find it easier to quote sound bites than research articles and form a fact based, rational opinion. They would rather consider Fox and Rush as fact based reports than look into many different sources and come to a well researched conclusion. They would rather blame than look for common ground to find solutions.
We did not get into this situation alone, and we cannot get out of it without EVERYONE looking for common ground and building from there. Give the BS retoric a rest.
Gay marrage will not diminish the instituion of marrage unless you let it.
Abortion and the decisions around it affect only that person(s) and their God. Unless that is you, you have no dog in that fight
Voter ID can be sensably done and thus continue to allow all Americans the right to vote
The budget cannot be balanced unless earmarks and programs are overhauled and a fair and balanced tax system is in place, with everyone paying a fair share.
PACS must be eliminated or controled and lobbyists banned from contact with elected officials. They work for the people not Wallstreet
All of the Constituional Amendments are sacred and all must be upheld. No one should think of using the Constitution to resrict any persons rights or liberties.
Illegal immigation has got to be addressed in a way that can be enforced.
Thoughtful discussion and hard work is what is needed now, not the same old BS. And if the AWM cannot get on board, the country will continue to suffer. We are looked at as the great experiment. How about we resume showing the world that it works, and not continue our slow spiral down the drain.
Hopeful White Male Regards

Air Conditioner Trouble?
Air Conditioner Trouble?
When it comes down to it, air conditioning is a luxury. Drivers made due without it for a long time. However, most cars offer air conditioning, and, reality speaking, it is downright terrible when it doesn't work. Excessive sweating, dehydration, and general discomfort can turn a normal drive into something completely unbearable. You can avoid the inconvenience of a broken air conditioner by being on the lookout for these warning signs. If you are experiencing the below, we recommend making an appointment to service your vehicles air conditioning system as soon as possible.
Air Conditioning System Warning Signs
Water inside the vehicle
Part of the air conditioner's job is to dehumidify the air in your vehicle – it sucks the moisture out of the air and then drains that water outside of your vehicle. If you run your vehicle's air conditioner and it is functioning properly, you will probably see water drip underneath your car after it has been parked. If the drain, a hose, or the like becomes clogged, the water could back up and drain directly into the interior of your vehicle. If this happens, you will most likely see water stains and/or puddles on the floor mat under the dashboard.
Strange noises
When you turn on your air conditioner, all you should hear is the fan, otherwise known as the blower. If you hear a banging sound or rattling noise, it is… not a good sign. The cause of the noise could be any number of things. Debris such as leaves could get lodged in the fan, the condenser might be worn out or about to wear out, or a fan belt might be on its last legs. If you hear an odd noise when you turn on your air conditioner, it is recommended that you have that sound diagnosed by a professional.
Unpleasant odors
When you switch on your air conditioner, you should not smell anything. If you switch it on and smell a mildew-like odor, it might mean that mold is growing inside the air conditioner system. While this obviously isn't good for the system, it also isn't healthy for you to breathe in impure air because it could possibly trigger allergic reactions, among other problems. Having the system looked at and/or cleaned by a professional is the best course of action. We recommend MiSTing your vehicle.
Refrigerant leak
Refrigerant is a gas that the air conditioner uses to produce cold air. Without refrigerant, the air conditioner will not be able to churn out cold air you have come to enjoy while driving in the summer heat. A refrigerant leak is dissimilar to other fluid leaks. Upon exposure to air, refrigerant evaporates making diagnosis of a leak a somewhat complicated manner. If you do not have the tools and equipment needed to properly diagnose a refrigerant leak, we recommend taking your vehicle to your local store for service.

I read From Russia with Love right afterwards, and it's very good but again the payoff really isn't enough for so much fantastic setup, the movie is actually much more satisfying in a lot of ways, the villains are more rounded and get more time to do stuff, especially at the end. Plus, == Bond doesn't get killed in the movie. == Still, quite good.
I was going to put off Dr. No until Jan 1st so I could borrow it for free, at $8 a pop on Kindle (they were $7.00 each for the 50th anniversary of Bond in Cinema in November, went up to $7.99 in Dec) they were affordable but not cheap enough to go hog wild on, but the day after I finished From Russia with Love Amazon had a 1-day special with all the books on Kindle for $1.99 each, so I bought 7 out of the last 9 and since I can borrow 1 per month, I borrowed The Spy Who Loved Me and will borrow The Man with the Golden Gun in February (they are the worst-reviewed Fleming novels in the series).
Anyway, started on Dr. No but have been slow-playing it so far, it's good and is already better than the beginning of the film, but Bond's ability to read situations is still off which is an odd thing to see since it's natural for a person but weird to watch a writer intentionally hobble his character for 2 stories in a row.

This was a great, great, great band (well, pair of virtuosos).
quote:Definitely. It was the epitome of smooth, and it was a 'full' sound. You're referring to Aja.
I'm pretty sure it was a compliment.
quote:You get laid alot, in comparison to your cohorts, I'm sure.
I'm probably the only 23 year old who listens to them
All the famous guitar solos and many other memorable instrumental moments are due to other musicians. I don't know how much was improvised on the spot vs. composed, and how exactly Becker and Fagen determined the overall sound
I seriously don't think Walter Becker had every note of the Kid Charlemagne solo planned out in advance, for example. W.B. is a guitarist himself, so if this was the case, it seems like they wouldn't need any other musicians.
Let's not forget the presence of Michael McDonald as well - a song like Rose Darling wouldn't be the same without him.
All hired guns that you hear. Becker plays rhythm and solos intermittently, but rarely (if ever), when it comes to something classifiable as 'watershed'.
I'm probably the only 23 year old who listens to them

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland. This is the part of the brain that regulates the body's balance of many hormones.
Tumor - pituitary; Pituitary adenoma
Most pituitary tumors are noncancerous (benign). Up to 20% of people have pituitary tumors. Many of these tumors do not cause symptoms and are never diagnosed during the person's lifetime.
The pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine gland located at the base of the brain. The pituitary helps control the release of hormones from other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, sex glands, and adrenal glands. The pituitary also releases hormones that directly affect body tissues, such as bones and the breast milk glands. The pituitary hormones include:
As a pituitary tumor grows, the normal hormone-releasing cells of the pituitary may be damaged. This results in the pituitary gland not producing enough of its hormones. This condition is called hypopituitarism.
The causes of pituitary tumors are unknown. Some tumors are part of a hereditary disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia I (MEN I).
The pituitary gland can be affected by brain tumors that develop in the same part of the brain, resulting in symptoms.
Some pituitary tumors produce too much of one or more hormones. As a result, symptoms of one or more of the following conditions can occur:
Symptoms caused by pressure from a larger pituitary tumor may include:
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination. The provider will note any problems with double vision and visual field, such as a loss of side (peripheral) vision or the ability to see in certain areas.
Tests to check endocrine function may be ordered, including:
Surgery to remove the tumor is often needed, especially if the tumor is pressing on the optic nerves (nerves that control vision).
Most of the time, pituitary tumors can be removed surgically through the nose and sinuses. If the tumor cannot be removed this way, it is removed through the skull (transcranial).
Radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor for people who cannot have surgery. It may also be used if the tumor returns after surgery.
In some cases, medicines are prescribed to shrink certain types of tumors.
The Pituitary Network Association -- www.pituitary.org
If the tumor can be surgically removed, the outlook is fair to good, depending upon whether the entire tumor is removed.
The most serious complication is blindness. This can occur if the optic nerve is seriously damaged.
The tumor or its removal may cause permanent hormone imbalances. The affected hormones may need to be replaced, and you may need to take medicine for the rest of your life.
Surgery can sometimes damage the posterior pituitary (back part of the gland). This can lead to diabetes insipidus, a condition with symptoms of frequent urination and extreme thirst.
Call your health care provider if you develop any symptoms of a pituitary tumor.

RecycleMania is a 8-week long, friendly competition between colleges and universities nationwide. Each school registered reports on their waste and recycling practices to rank themselves among other participating peer institutions. The goal of RecycleMania is to motivate the campus community to reduce wasteful practices and improve recycling behaviors.
Volunteers are help plan, coordinate and execute the RecycleMania competition. Interested students should email the Environmental Center or stop by our office for more information.
Ever wonder where recycling goes? Well join the Environmental Center and US Green Building Council North Florida Chapter for a tour of Republic Services' recycling center. The 70,000 sq. ft. LEED-certified facility was opened in 2012 and is Jacksonville's largest recycling facility. The facility contains state-of-the-art machinery and equipment that can process almost any sort of material for recycling. Republic Services will provide lunch, but feel free to bring a bagged lunch. Please wear closed-toes shoes to participate in the tour.

Enjoy an outdoor screening of the documentary "Plastic Paradise" on the Green. Every single piece of plastic that has ever been created since the 19th century is still somewhere on our planet. So if it never goes away, where does end up? Thousands of miles away from civilization, Midway Atoll is in one of the most remote places on earth and yet it has become ground zero for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, syphoning plastics from three distant continents. Plastic Paradise is an eye-opening film that will make you question the ethics of our insatiable plastic consumption.This movie will be shown outside, so please remember to bring a blanket or chair to sit on. Hot chocolate, popcorn and other snacks will be provided. Please bring your own cup to help reduce waste!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Legislation was passed Wednesday to merge school districts in two Northeast Mississippi counties – Oktibbeha and Clay.
The Senate voted to merge the Clay County District with West Point without a dissenting vote while the House voted 107-6 to merge the Oktibbeha District with Starkville.
The bills will now switch chambers to be considered.
The legislation marks the second consecutive year the Legislature has dealt with the controversial topic of school district consolidation in individual counties instead of on a larger scale, which was proposed unsuccessfully by former Gov. Haley Barbour.
The mergers in Clay and Oktibbeha counties appear less controversial than last year's efforts where districts in Bolivar and Sunflower counties were merged.
Sen. Angela Turner, D-West Point, said she supported the merger in Clay County.
"Moving forward and progressing, I think this is a good thing," she said.
In the House, Rep. Tyrone Ellis, D-Starkville, has long supported the merger.
He said because of the size of the county districts, the students are missing out on class offerings and opportunities.
Senate Education Chair Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said the Clay County District now has about 125 students in a kindergarten through sixth grade school. The older students already go to school in West Point.
He said the district spends about 15 percent of its total budget – or more than $300,00 annually – on administration compared to about 4 percent for the average district.
Under the proposal that passed the Senate, the school board for the merged districts would be elected from the five supervisory districts.
The Oktibbeha District has about 900 students.
Under the legislation that passed the House, the academic performance of the students from the Oktibbeha district would not count against the accreditation ranking of the Starkville district for a period of time.
Plus, the merged district would be governed by the Starkville School Board. When the first opening occurred on the Board, the Oktibbeha Board of Supervisors would appoint a resident of the old Oktibbeha County School District as the new member.

For me, participation in the C.G.S. in Autism Education program was what I like to refer to as "a forever life changing experience." Little did I know that this program would change me for the better both professionally and personally.
With the prevalence of autism estimated to be 1 in 88 (CDC, 2012), I have seen an increased need for enhanced training to effectively educate and provide support to children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within the school environment. Educating others regarding autism and providing support to this population is not easy, but necessary. In 15 years of clinical practice as a school social worker, I have attended helpful workshops and conferences regarding autism, but always walked away wanting to learn more. I saw the Certificate of Graduate Studies in Autism Education at Rhode Island College as the perfect opportunity to enhance my knowledge and skills and to take my direct clinical practice with children diagnosed with ASD to an advanced professional level.
The C.G.S. in Autism Education program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of autism and its impact on individuals of all ages. The scope of our studies focused on assessment, comprehensive planning, positive behavioral supports and evidence-based strategies that increase the opportunity for social, behavioral and academic success for this population. The leadership practicums provided me with the necessary knowledge, skills and training to effectively lead my district in making a difference on how we plan, educate and provide support to children diagnosed with autism and their families. The learning climate was one that fostered acceptance, support and encouragement. It offered us a unique opportunity to question, examine and critique information presented in each class and gain a better understanding of autism and its impact on individuals. Faculty was mindful of making each project directly relate to current work practice which resulted in a truly rewarding, meaningful and enjoyable learning experience.
I consider myself most fortunate to have taken part in this program. I am truly honored to be part of a professional network as passionate as I am about improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with autism and for their families.

The parkour world is filled with massively skilled traceurs – so much so, in fact, that it can sometimes be difficult to tell one from the other. There are hundreds, probably thousands of people out there who could be on a list of world-class traceurs. Figuring out who's who in the parkour community used to be something you would have to do by spending massive amounts of time watching videos.

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My favorite early season fly (like right now) when I am not fishing lelands poppers is a 2-3 inch surf candy. I use pearl diamond braid for the body and silver angl hair on bottom toped with chartruese angle hair. I also paint red gills around the eyes with nail polish but I do not know if that really helps.
The fly seems to work well for me on cutties but realistically I think if you find cutts they will take most anything.
A lot of guys will tell you about certain patterns that they swear by and how great that pattern is, but I honestly dont think that the fly matters too much.
I tie a ton of flies that are very simple and very effective. For cohos and SRCs, if it looks like a baitfish, it is a baitfish. A lot of the flies I use are just a little crystal flash, some bucktail, maybe a little blue bucktail on its back and 2 peacock hurls for a dark back. I also really like having eyes on my flies and think that they can make a big difference in how effective a fly is.
One thing that I have found is that epoxy head flies are great because they hold up so well after catching a lot of fish.
I like clousers a lot too. pink/white & chart./white are both good. I also like purple and chartuse clousers. I dont know why they work but they are very effective.
Most of my flies are size 4 but I also tie some 2s and 6s depending on the size of the baitfish that are in the area at the time.
Keith -
Greetings to a coho saltchuck brother! I was out throwing flies at Swiftsure, Sekiu and Neah Bay since the mid-80's back when people would look at you like you had three heads for flyfishing out there. Well, I guess they still do!
Just Topwater and a few guys like us throwing the fat lines, and having serious fun!
Here are (at the time of the writing) over 3,000 baitfish imitations right here on the Flyfishing Forum...
As a flyguy with almost 20 years of ocean coho flyfishing and 11 years of striped bass flyfishing, I can tell you that the only difference between the two fly patterns are the placement of the hook. Stripers will get hooked on a 12" fly with a 1" fly in the front. Coho need a hook that sits back a little for larger flies like herring patterns, etc.
TUBES are probably the best way to get the hook back in the length of the fly, I will post some old proven tube patterns I've put some huge hooknoses on the line with.
Another technique is to use a longer shank hook like a 911s TMC but you can't beat the holding ability of a short tube hook.
You should consider asking Nrthfk (sparky) to post his baitfish pattern with the inverted pearlescent flash - it was a killer at Sekiu two years ago.
Leland is at his annual Idaho fishing outing (I can smell the Cubanos and single malts from here) but when he returns I am curious to read his response on this topic.
well, you're allready tying the best pattern... the clouser. make sure to tie them with a flashtail (flash extending past the hair from 1/4 to 1 inch depending on size). the plain clousers tied on larger hooks work when herring and anchovies are the predominant bait (i don't fish where candlefish are common). for a more specific herring profile, look at the clouser half and half, again with a flashtail.
for colors i like chartreuse and white... nothing else even comes close to outproducing this color combo offshore.
offshore, you'll catch plenty of pinks with this color combo also... i don't target pinks but catch them around the coho.
i use bucktail predominently. i look for softer hair, and use polar flash as the flash material (flashabou works well, but is less durable). i find the stiffer materials look less real when not moving (i like a two handed retreive for these patterns and surface patterns) compared to the softer natural and synthetic fibers.
if fishing for feeding salmon, worry less about numbers of different patterns and more about numbers so you don't run out <G>.
good luck, july 1 (maybe earlier on the coast) can't come fast enough.
Try : pugetsoundflyfishing.com He has some good patterns on there. I like clousers and slim polarbear streamers for the needlefish and for bulkier flies like herring I go with decievers. Coho that are eating in the open salt tend to be voracious and not that picky but put them close to their natal streams in the fall and it's a whole new ballgame.
As for pinks smallish pinks streamers are your best bet.Just a size six or eight hook , a tinsel body and a pink wing of the material of your choice. I have a box full of different fancy patterns and I rarley do any better than the fishers that keep it simple. But sometimes if the pinks a pressured throw something in green or blue and it can make a difference.
What's a good baitfish imitation?
Here's a question for all you salt experts-- I'm getting ready for the upcoming season, which should be gangbusters, and am trying to get some tying done when I have a little slack.
I've tied Clousers until they're coming out my ears, and I've tied Leland's popper, the Gurgler I use, and am now looking for a decent baitfish imitation.
What do you guys recommend for a herring imitation? How about for a candlefish? There are so many patterns out there that it's difficult to settle on one or two for a starting point-- it seems there are a number of different colors and combinations, and when you start in on the different types of real and artificial hairs, the number of potential patterns skyrockets.
What's your favorite salt pattern for salmon? What about a favorite pattern for pinks?
Thanks in advance,

More laws? No thanks
More laws? No thanks

I think someone should be able to retrieve their birds HOWEVER they want... and their are many areas where hunting over a dog, even a great dog, makes absolutely no sense...
Hmmm. After one hell of a lot of years waterfowling there are a large group of hunters that I would not like to see have a dog. If you hunt think about the stupid stuff you have seen and wonder if a dog should be a part of it. Just sayin!
Michigan managed waterfowl areas at one time had "dog blinds" only available to hunters with dogs. They are long gone after guys starting bringing "lap dogs" so they could hunt those blinds. Makes my point I guess.
John Cottenham aka jacduck in many circles before the internet
"Duck hunter's minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set."
Interesting posts that are definitely enlightening me about things I had not thought about.
I was 15 years old when I started duck hunting and almost 40 before I had the opportunity to hunt with a dog. We lived in apartments in suburban LA when I was young so owning a dog wasn't even a consideration. When we hunted the Dad's supervised while us boys would haul and set decoys, build blinds and retrieve birds. It was character building I guess...
BTW I guess we were pretty shots, plus lead was more lethal as I don't remember loosing cripples. I will say that hunting over a dog is the only way to go, especially since I don't have a teenager to order about.
Last edited by John Robinson; 03-25-2013 at 03:15 PM.
My major problem is the dog retrieves birds, that others have crippled, as we're walking back in from the blind. I shoot my limit then end up with a few extra, not good. One time we'd been back to the truck for ~20min, game warden comes out want to see license, count my bird etc. as I'm talking to him, I'm semi-watching my dog messing around in some tulleys. Just as he's walking off my proud hunter comes back to stand @ heel with another bird in her mouth, luckily the warden had gotten in his truck and didn't notice the dog.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace ........If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where the heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.

Pitt to face a consistently inconsistent Wake Forest todayJanuary 10, 2014 9:46 PM
Wake Forest looked good Sunday in a six-point home win against North Carolina and bad in a 23-point loss against host Virginia three days later.
Against the Tar Heels, the Demon Deacons controlled the tempo, made shots, rebounded well and seemingly were in control almost the entire game.
But against the Cavaliers, they got pounded on the boards, made few shots, including 3 of 17 from 3-point range, and were chopped up by Virginia's offense.
And none of it was surprising. The Demon Deacons have been inconsistent all season and have not fared well on the road.
To wit: all four Wake Forest losses have come on the road or on a neutral court. They are, however, 10-0 at home.
That should put a smile on Pitt coach Jamie Dixon's face as the Panthers (14-1, 2-0 ACC) will play host to the Demon Deacons (11-4, 1-1) at noon today.
It will be the first time the Panthers and Demon Deacons have met in men's basketball, but Dixon is very familiar with Wake Forest because he has had a few extra days to study them.
"We are getting ready for Wake Forest and we have been running through their sets and some of their plays," Dixon said. "Obviously, with three days of practice we will have a really good feel for what they do and how they play. We know what they did against North Carolina and what they did against Virginia. So we need to make sure we do what we have worked on and practiced against them and not let them get going early.
"Penetration is the key. We talked about guarding the dribble, they have really quick guards. So that is what concerns us the most, their ability to penetrate and drive the basketball and also their transition game,"
Wake Forest's leading scorer is guard Codi Miller-McIntyre, who averages 15.9 points and 4 assists per game. He is the player Dixon said can cause the most damage with his ability to penetrate and pass. The Demon Deacons also feature one of the best young big men in the ACC — 6-foot-9 sophomore Devin Thomas, a Harrisburg native who averages 10.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
The Demon Deacons are not alone in their inconsistency. So far, the only ACC teams to avoid bad losses and upsets are Pitt and Syracuse.
That has led many to believe the ACC is not very good. But while Dixon said teams clearly have some work to do, he is not ready to write off anyone because it is so early in the conference season.
"I think that it is the same in pretty much every conference, there are good teams and there isn't much separation," Dixon said. "I think it is funny when you look at different games in college basketball — we say 'this team is great' because they won a one-point game against this team in November and now the first team is ranked and the other team isn't.
"There is not much to base it on, and so that one opportunity determines where a team is put. But you can't form opinions until after 33 games are played though I know we all want [to] after Week 1. But let's go through the entire season and see how things play out and see who is playing well in March."

I'm easy going, clean and respectful of privacy and space and more than happy to chill in front of the tv with a glass of wine and hang out. I like to workout and love the beach and am moving to a town where I don't know too many people so keen to spend time exploring and getting to know Mackay.
Easy going professional engineer. Clean tidy and very low maintenance. Can cook and able to clean up after myself. Happy to mingle but also aware of peoples need for private space. Well traveled and interested in life. Looking for friendly low key household
Looking for a room in a share house or a team-up to find a nice place. Full-time worker Mon-Fri with one week per month away at mines. Clean. Social. Easy Going.

Karup's Hometown Amateurs is an affirmation, exploration, and celebration of the many kinds, shapes, and colors of the Girl Next Door - and of the limitless facets and dimensions of human sexuality that each of them reflect. While our stunning models possess a youthful sexuality and sometimes an almost adolescent freshness, all of them are always at least 18 years of age or older at the time of photography.
The website that stands before you includes powerful videos, stunning images and incindiary text, rich with vivid and graphic depictions of sexual passion so exquisite that they may carry you away: You are not likely to remain unaffected by their raw intensity and unmatched beauty. We don't believe that anything that lies beyond this page is obscene - we don't think you'll disagree with us - and, to the contrary, what we invite you to view with us is an exciting and stimulating world of beauty and sex, of conquest and submission, of wordless rapture and sublime delight, all emerging from the most essential, basic, and natural drives within each of us. The vivid power of our imagery impels the conclusion that it is likely to offend or disturb some sensitive persons - and we recognize that such power carries the potential of harm to minors.

In a globalized world, preserving national security while promoting economic strength is a daunting challenge for any nation's leadership. Determining the proper balance between these interests is at the heart of a debate that has raged in Washington in recent weeks. As explained in this CFR Background Q&A, the furor began when Dubai Ports World bought the British shipping company P&O, giving the United Arab Emirates-owned company control over terminals in six major U.S. ports. Originally slated to take effect March 2, the deal was postponed at the behest of Congress so that the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS), the body responsible for considering the security issues of foreign investment, could conduct a 45-day review. In the midst of the review, on March 9, Dubai Ports World bowed to continued pressure from Congress (LAT). The chief operating officer said in a statement the company will give up its stake in American ports and "transfer fully the U.S. operations...to a U.S. entity" (PDF).
The case of Dubai Ports World highlights the broader issue surrounding security of what is known as "critical infrastructure" in the United States. Foreign companies already are heavily invested in many of these sectors, as explained in this CFR Background Q&A. On March 2, Todd Malan, chief executive officer of the Organization for International Investment, told the House Financial Services Committee that foreign companies produce more than one-fifth of U.S. exports (PDF). One Congressional Research Service report looks at the process for weighing the security risks of foreign investments, while another examines the extent of such investments in the United States (PDF).
The debate in Congress has focused new attention on port security in general. Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee, CFR Senior Fellow Stephen Flynn said this is "long overdue given the enormous national security and economic security stakes." As political tensions subside, it remains imperative that policymakers stay focused on this larger issue (NYT).
The specifics of the new deal, including which U.S. company will take over, remain unknown. Also unclear is to what extent the maneuver will subdue the heated debate in Congress. More than a dozen bills (NPR) have emerged in the House and Senate in response to the initial deal. One far-reaching proposal (PDF), submitted by Representatives Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Jim Saxton (R-NJ), would essentially ban foreign ownership of critical U.S. infrastructure. The bill leaves "critical infrastructure" open to the interpretation of the Bush administration, which in a 2003 report (PDF) used the term to include such industries as food, water, energy, telecommunications, and banking.
For Dubai, the decision to cede control comes at a time when Dubai is taking big steps to enter the global economy. Youssef Ibrahim, a Dubai-based investment consultant and former Middle East correspondent for the New York Times, tells cfr.org's Bernard Gwertzman recent changes in Dubai are "nothing less than revolutionary."

CVS Volunteers Collect Trash Equivalent of Four Elephants
Posted On July 18, 2013 by Allison Schutes
Four elephants, 11 tons, 25,000 pounds. It doesn't matter how you describe the number—it is a lot of trash! Over the past several months, Ocean Conservancy has partnered with CVS Caremark to clean up shorelines around the country, and over the course of five events, volunteers have picked up nearly 25,000 pounds of trash.
I was lucky enough to participate in three of the five CVS events: Elm Fork Trinity River in Dallas, Montrose Beach in Chicago and Colt State Park in Bristol, Rhode Island. Cleanups also took place at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne, Florida, and Emerald Hills in San Diego.
With every cleanup I participate in, there is always at least one moment or person that leaves a lasting impact, and the CVS cleanups were no different. As the volunteers arrived at Elm Fork Trinity River for the Dallas cleanup, one came with a kayak in tow. I assumed this volunteer was going to paddle in and out of the river's shoreline crevices, grabbing what we land-bound volunteers could not reach.

my fall turkey hunting consists of carrying along my shotgun when i'm bowhunting. then i try to get between the birds and their apparent travel path, if the turkey hunting appears better than the deer hunting.
that's my strategy.
for those of you who hunt turkeys exclusively during a certain period in the fall, I'm curious what your No. 1 best strategy has been?

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Garry Dog - Modified
Fly Tyer: Willie Gunn ( Malcolm)
Pattern: Garry Dog Modified
Silk black
Body: Black floss
Rib: Gold wire
Hackle: Blue Arctic Fox (instead of dark guinea fowl)
Wing: Yellow buck tail over red bucktail
Technique: This fly fishes extremely well in falling light conditions as the bright blue is the last color fish see before the light disappears. Or so I was told.
Invented by John Wright the son of the famous John Wright of Sprounston. This pattern is reputed to have been born in a tackle shop where a visiting minister or priest was asked for some hair from his accompanying Golden Retrievers tail. This was used to form part of the wing of a fly being tied in the premises. Nowadays a substitute of yellow bucktail or similar hair is used for this part of the wing. The name of the dog was supposedly Garry hence the name Garry Dog. Others say it was the ministers name hence Garrys Dog. One of Scotlands most popular flies, the Garry Dog is rated in all rivers but particularly those that carry a dark peat stain.
I hope the flies are OK, I tie to catch fish not fisherman so sometimes they are a little untidy.

HELP needed!!!
Hi Jamie (or anyone concerned in this question),
i'm making your food quite often, so a few days ago i bought 'Jamie's Italy' as i also love Italian foods.
my first trying was a soup called Minestrone, which is really a lovely course (almost all the 3 in 1) - no question about it!
i just then turned pages to a cake called BUSTRENGO. its picture makes you drivel hard.
i read the recipe before i go shopping, then i just read the detailed description while making it. what a pitty!
the recipe talks of 500 gramms of apple, the description of completion does NOT. i made it without the apple accordingly. still it's lovely! (try it! )
i don't know if the Hungarian translation is to blame, or they just followed the original one...
i wouldn't go to Italy with my question so please Mr OLIVER let me know about this hidden information. if i should peel them before cutting them into small pieces (i feel i should), where & when to put them (like to stir them with the raw batter or just spread over it when it's in the oven pan, etc.)
your (take it as plural chefs of the world) reply will be highly appreciated and welcome.
thank you in advance, bye for now:

Re: HELP needed!!!
I just checked my copy and the apples are to be peeled, cored and roughly diced. The apples are to be added at the same time as the figs, raisins, cinnamon, orange and lemon zest, and salt.
Hope this helps.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
American Experience: Dinosaur Wars: an excellent PBS documentary on Othniel C. Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope that goes well beyond the typical "these two guys hated each other, they tried to outdo one another, and discovered about half the dinosaurs we know today" two-page writeup in every book about dinosaurs.
Othniel Marsh was, no question about it, the biggest d@&^#bag to ever walk the Earth (at least as far as non-homicidal people go). Cope was far from perfect, especially as time went on and Marsh's amazing d@&^iness was clearly getting under his skin and driving him nuts. But, still, Marsh was so incomprehensibly d@&^y that he probably stole a prototype video camera and made a habit of going around the neighborhood, molesting puppies, and then kidnapping their owners and forcing them to watch the film. Actually, no. That would be not d@&^y enough for him.
That's my jacket!
The Curse of Frankenstein - The first of the Hammer horror films, and the first one I've seen. I thought it was interesting the way it focused more on Victor than on the monster, and it was different enough from the book and Universal movie to be unique. It was also really cool to see Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee together, as they were in many Hammer films, especially Lee as the monster, which was a strange sight to see.

Pretty good stuff, very smart and witty so far, if somewhat short for a season.
Watched The Other Guys last night for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Predators. I was surprised to see find a copy at the library. I enjoyed it more the second time (saw it opening weekend in the theatre).
The locale feature on the DVD was cool. More was filmed in Hawaii than I thought.
Well I got an Amazon gift card and saw the preview for it on last season's Dr. Who collection so I decided to get it. It was only 3 "episodes" but they run over an hour or so each, so not too bad. I would not have called it a 'season' though, so much as a 'collection'. Still very good though, I am with you, I hope they make more and show us.
Black Swan last night. Great flick. A bit ambiguous with amazing performances all around. Well deserved Golden Globe win by Natalie Portman,

The 'Harry Potter' star revealed in an interview with the U.K.'s GQ magazine that he's experienced one of the most destructive pitfalls of young stardom — too much booze.
Thanks to his starring role in all of the Harry Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe is one of the wealthiest and most successful young people in the biz, but it's not always as easy as it looks. The actor revealed that when he realized he was becoming too attached to alcohol, he had to call it quits all together.
Daniel began drinking whiskey on the set of 2009's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but somehow managed to avoid ever being exposed by the paparazzi. "I really got away with that because there were so many instances when a paparazzi shot like that could have been taken," he explained. A photo of a publicly intoxicated "Harry" would have seriously damaged Daniel's squeaky-clean public image.
Now the star of the Broadway play How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Daniel has been making moves to ensure that his career didn't peak as a child star. Like many other young people in Hollywood, he almost let the party-hard lifestyle get the best of him, "I became reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff … There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me."
He realized he needed to make a major change when he wrapped filming the last installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2. "There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life," he said. "And that's been the realization of the past few years for me … I'm actually enjoying the fact that I can have a relationship with my girlfriend [Olive Uniacke] where I'm really pleasant and not f**ked up totally all the time. As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh."
Daniel even skipped his last movie premiere in order to avoid temptation. It's great to hear that the 21-year-old star is smart enough to end his dangerous addiction before it began to destroy his health and his career — Other stars should learn from him!

South Sudan: Humanitarian challenges after secession
South Sudan's historic declaration of independence passed with notable calm across the country on 9 July. However, the new born republic faces considerable humanitarian challenges as it looks to the future, including continued violence along its new and restive northern border, high levels of displacement and disease, and acute gaps in basic service delivery.
On the eve of independence, some 30 separate emergency operations were underway in the country. The mass displacement of civilians from the disputed territory of Abyei in May triggered one of the single largest operation underway, targeting some 110,000 people. In coming weeks, OCHA will be focusing on some of the most pressing humanitarian challenges facing the people of South Sudan in this multi-part series.
Humanitarian assistance for displaced from Abyei continues, with returns yet to occur
Abyei has long been a major flashpoint in tensions between Sudan and South Sudan. A referendum to decide the fate of the area was agreed under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended 22 years of civil war in 2005. However, this referendum was never held, with negotiations between north and south stalling over the question of who should be counted as a resident of the territory and thus who should be allowed to vote. Political positions hardened during first five months of 2011 and following skirmishes on 19 May, a full-scale attack was launched by northern forces. By 22 May civilians from the area had fled southwards across the Bahr el Arab/River Kiir triggering a multi-sectoral response in order for humanitarian partners to meet emergency needs in the most heavily affected areas. This operation is still ongoing almost three months after violence erupted.
"The likelihood of a crisis in the Abyei area was very high" said OCHA Head of Office in South Sudan Mr. Giovanni Bosco. "We had planned for nearly all people in the area to flee if fighting broke out and that they would need assistance from partners in the South."
Effective contingency planning has enabled a timely and effective response for the displaced from Abyei, but prospects for returning are still unclear and challenges remain.
In South Sudan's Warrap State, where the majority of the displaced have fled, a combination of border insecurity and activity by rebel militia has meant that many already vulnerable people have been repeatedly uprooted. The situation has compounded hardship for the displaced and complicated population tracking and emergency response.
William Gor Majok, one of the tens of thousands people who fled for safety in South Sudan, was present in the town of Turalei when rebel militia attacked in late June.
"We ran from Abyei. We ran to Aneet (15km south). We came here and set up a shelter digging with my hands until they blistered," he said. "And when it was ready, we had to run again."
Hopes for progress increased at the end of June, when the governments of Sudan and Southern Sudan signed an agreement to demilitarise the Abyei Area with the exception of the deployment of an UN-interim security force for Abyei (UNISFA) composed of Ethiopian troops. The peace-keeping missionwas formally authorised by the UN Security Council in late June and by early August, some 1,300 troops had arrived in Abyei, increasing prospects for people to return to their homeland. Local authorities have reported that some displaced people have already crossed Bahr el Arab/Kiir River to check on their property following news of the peacekeepers' arrival. However, both local authorities and UN peacekeepers have advised against premature returns due to the high risk of landmines and unexploded ordnances in the area. Until the situation has stabilized, people who were displaced by the fighting will remain uprooted.

Mississippians have been adding insult to injury.
Nevermind that the state leads the nation in cardiovascular disease risk factors like obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Mississippians are waiting too long to get help when heart attacks strike.
"People often have symptoms for two hours before they start calling for help," said Tupelo cardiologist Dr. Barry Bertolet, a member of the Mississippi Health Alliance, which has worked with the Mississippi Department of Health to set up a statewide protocol to get people prompt treatment for heart attacks.
When a heart attack strikes, patients need to be at the hospital – ideally in the cath lab – within 90 minutes to two hours for the best outcomes.
"If time is muscle and someone stays at home two hours, we're almost out of the window," Bertolet said.
The prescription for the delay is for people to dial 911, not drive, when they have symptoms typical of a heart attack:
• Indigestion feeling that doesn't go away
• Chest discomfort that can radiate to either shoulder or arm, neck and/or jaw or back
• Shortness of breath
• Cold sweats
• Feeling like someone is standing on your chest
• Fainting
• Lightheadedness
• Nausea
• Chest pain that disappears and returns
• May not be any "pain" at all.
• Unusual fatigue
If the symptoms don't resolve in 10 to 20 minutes, there's a good chance it's a heart attack, Bertolet said. But people often wait, wanting to make sure it's a heart attack to avoid bothering anyone.
"If it's not a heart attack, there's still a medical condition that needs attention," Bertolet said. "Some of them are equally life threatening or serious," such as a severe ulcer or pulmonary embolism – a blood clot to the lungs.
Chain of events
A heart attack occurs when one or more of the tiny coronary arteries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart is blocked. Generally, the definitive treatment is for cardiologists to thread a tiny wire through an artery in the leg or arm, use a tiny balloon to open the blockage and place a stent – usually a tiny mesh tube – to keep the artery open long term.
"If we get the artery opened up, it stops the heart attack," Bertolet said. "There's less risk of death and disability."
When people who suspect a heart attack call 911, they set a chain of events in motion that will help them get to the cath lab as quickly as possible.
In North Mississippi, all ambulances have the capability of performing an EKG – a key diagnostic test – and send it in to cardiologists.
"We can diagnose a heart attack at someone's house," Bertolet said. "As the ambulance is in route, they can begin medications."
With new protocols in place around the state, the ambulance will then take the patient having a heart attack directly to a hospital that has a cath lab and cardiologists available. In Northeast Mississippi, that means heading to Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi in Oxford, Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth, North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo.
From the EKG, the cardiologists have a good idea where to start looking for the blocked coronary artery and can prep the cath lab before the ambulance even arrives at the hospital.
"You can bypass the ER, going directly to the cath lab for definitive therapy that can stop the heart attack," Bertolet said.
Huge difference
The new protocols are making a difference across the state, Bertolet said.
"We've been cutting off 30 minutes on average," in the time it takes to get people to the cath lab, Bertolet said. "The faster we're able to do this, the better the outcome is likely to be."
The difference in the outcomes can be heart-breaking. Recently, Bertolet had a patient in his 40s who had chest pain on and off for several weeks and then continuous chest pain for three days before coming in to the hospital.
"By the time he came in, he had completed the heart attack," Bertolet said, and the heart muscle had died. He went into heart failure, and his heart couldn't hold a steady beat. The patient died after a few days in the hospital.
"We weren't able to reverse the damage," Bertolet said.
For patients who get to the hospital promptly, Bertolet and his colleagues are able to stop the heart attack quickly. Many of those patients are showing no sign of damage to the heart muscle after treatment.
"People who present early are clearly having the best outcomes," Bertolet said.
Although they still have follow-up visits with cardiologists and need to work to manage their individual risk factors like smoking, cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, many are going home after one night in the hospital and are able to go back to work in a few days.
Generally, if there is no muscle damage, cardiologists are only waiting for the incision for the catheter to heal adequately, Bertolet said.
"The down time is almost nothing," Bertolet said. "It's a lot different than the old days."

The realm of Daria Tessler's "In the Realm of the Seedkeepers," an exhibit of drawings at Craftland (235 Westminster Street, Providence, through May 12), seems to be an often hushed, mystical place in which birdmen ride on the backs of giant geese, bugs wear socks, and anteater-like people take careful, measured steps as they carry tree branches topped with 20-sided shapes like alchemical talismans. It's a place of magic seeds, ornate robes, parades, masks, staffs, quests, patched-up factories, ecological concern, and crossroads marked by signposts of curious portent. And it's some of the best drawing you'll see around these parts this year.
Tessler's pen and watercolor drawings are rooted in fantasy illustration and children's book art. As abstraction became the central focus of Western art in the 20th century, fine draftsmanship mainly departed the fine art world (with the exceptions of folks like Picasso and Lucien Freud) to hide out and thrive in the realm of illustration — from picture books to comics to advertising. The fine art world, in some ways, lost this skill as minimalism and conceptualism pushed ever more away from traditional realist chops and outsourced the making of artworks. Fine drawing began to return to fine art only as lowbrow painting, psychedelic posters, art comics, street art, and the DIY ethos of punk insinuated themselves into the fine art world between the 1970s and '90s.
The drawings of Tessler — who was born in Finland, grew up in Los Angeles, and now resides in Portland, Oregon — might bring to mind Dr. Seuss books, Oz, M.C. Escher, and the 1986 film Labyrinth. But the most striking echo is of the Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson, whose amazing Moomin comics from the 1950s have garnered new attention since being reprinted by Drawn & Quarterly over the past decade. Jansson's comedies of manners about her hippopotamus-like people are alluringly melancholy, ruminative, eccentric, and bohemian, but she was also a sharp and inventive drawer, using lots of carefully controlled, feathery pen hatching in her own stories as well as her visionary illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Tessler recalls Jansson's tone as well as sharp draftsmanship in drawings like Star Journey, in which bird-people wearing ornate robes sail aboard a Viking ship through a sea of blue cylinders or anemones under falling stars. In The Bird Maker's Workshop, a long-tailed white bird flies out of the chimney of an art deco factory building, flapping between soot black clouds like a symbolic dove of clean air. In Dream Message, a bird-person wearing a cloak at the top of a series of impossible M.C. Escher stairways inspects fish in a light bulb-like jar suspended from a crescent moon. It's a realm of wonder that you might wish you could escape into.
