In search of a January Springer
In search of a January Springer
Sunday 23rd January.
We arrived at the Borgie Lodge Hotel in the early evening having stopped for a quick refreshment at the Crask Inn local tradition suggests that it is bad luck to pass by.
The food and drink in the Borgie Lodge is superb.
Monday 24th January.
The Borgie is a short fairly narrow north flowing river entering the sea not far from its near more famous neighbour the Naver.
The weather forecast was for rain dawn arrived dry and clear. We were shown the river by the river bailiff he told us the river was a bit too low but there should be a fresh one somewhere. There are three beats so we decided to fish a beat each, the Jacks fishing together. I started at the falls which work as a temperature block in the spring. I was using a Carron 65ft floater with a 10 fast sink polyleader to take the fly down. On the third pull down I had a gentle take but nothing more when I recast I had a better pull but no connection.
In the afternoon, after an excellent lunch washed down with a nice red wine. I moved down to the middle beat and in the Sparrow hawk pool. I had decided that the floater and tip was just not getting down enough in the cold conditions. I changed to the Partridge medium sinker with a Willie Gunn on an aluminium tube. I had a good take which quickly became apparent was a kelt. Towards the tail of the pool I managed another kelt. Not a bad beginning. We had a special bottle of wine an 82 to celebrate Alans birthday.
Tuesday 25th January
The morning was frosty and I was on the lowest of the three beats, I was full of confidence as the bailiff reckons that the Tank pool on the lower beat often produces the first fish of the season. I had seen the pool the previous evening and had marked a fish heading and tailing three quarters of the way down the pool. I covered the whole pool with the Willie Gunn and medium sinker without a touch. I decided there had to be a fish there so went back through the pool with a Collie Dog within one cast a fish rose and grabbed the fly but failed to stay connected. Further down the pool another fish slashed at the fly. The sun came out and being low in the sky I noticed that my shadow was being thrown across the pool. I decided to try somewhere else and moved downstream. In a fast run I soon had a small well mended kelt. In the afternoon I was back up by the falls, and I decided to use both rods alternatively. On the third pool below the falls I landed yet another kelt on the Collie Dog. That was it for the Borgie.
Wednesday 26th January
The Naver, we were on Beat 2 just to confuse me the Naver numbers from the Loch down where as the close neighbour the Helmsdale numbers from the sea up.
We met the gillie, Hamish, at the famous Syre pool one glance and the pool just shouts fish. I elected to start at the run whilst Alan started at the middle, the hot spot. I was using the I G Partridge medium sinker and Alan the Carron 65ft Intermediate. I had barely started to cover the indicated area when I had a good pull. Alan was soon into a kelt but it fell off to save landing it. When I reached the middle part of the pool I had two kelts in quick succession, I felt sorry for young Hamish who insisted on unhooking the fish whilst keeping them in the net in the water. The air temperature was well below freezing with the line commonly freezing in the guides. How he managed to warm his hands I do not know, they breed hardy souls up there. I then when down the pool again stripping a Collie Dog on an Intermediate Loop shooting head I had eight or nine kelts in quick succession some of the takes were quite impressive with the fish showing as they hit the fly. A couple of these gave a good struggle and for a minute or so I thought I had beaten the jinx but no luck.
We then moved down to the bridge pool and Hamish said that there would be fewer kelts but a good chance of a Springer. I fished carefully down and at a likely looking spot the fly stopped then started again the stopped again. Then the line tightened and the reel click clicked I slowly tightened then everything went slack **** ****, was it the long awaited springer? After another excellent lunch with Jimmy and Gwyneth who were amongst the kelts on beat 6. We fished other parts of the beat but returned to the Syre pool for the darkening, 1600 hours in these short cold days. I had another kelt on the Collie but the pool seemed quiet after the morning fun and games.
So another glorious failure. Lessons learnt the Borgie probably is not the easiest of places to catch a springer, a great river if conditions are right but how often will that occur. The Naver is probably the one to go for. We certainly got the accommodation right, great food great drink and lots of lovely roaring open wood fires to sit discussing the ay past and the one to come.
Next year it will happen next year.

I feel your pain down here in the 70 degree Florida weather, just waiting anxiously another 5 months for my first chance for a springer.
It's clear the results were not for lack of trying and from what I read I would have liked to be in your wading shoes instead of you no matter the outcome!
Guess you'll have to settle for 11 months of the year

A little something to warm the cockles on the road home
The trees now naked groaning,
Shall soon wi' leaves be hinging,
The birdies, dowie moaning,
Shall a' be blythely singing,
And every flower be springing:
Sae I,ll rejoice the lee-lang day,
When, by his mighty warden,
My youth's return'd to fair Strathspey,
And bonnie Castle-Gordon.

williams, beckwith, landry, leslie. that would be the greatest wr group in LSU history.
That includes Leonard Fournette. He dominated the Honey Badger and Micah Eugene when he was at ESJ.
So IDK what game you watched but he didn't dominate anything and I was less than impressed with his 1 and a half quarters of domination......
Just about every head coach has said he's one of the best they've ever seen, with the potential to be even better. You watched one game out of many. Plus I seriously doubt you watched him the whole game.
He was covered by two and three players most of the night. I watched him the entire night and he was getting frustrated and never got going in the passing game and had at least five carries in the game for good yards. Part of the frustration was when he would get open, the quarterback couldn't find him....and yes he was open! And the ONE catch he had was the best play of the season. He went up and snagged the ball with one hand in front of two defenders and threw Eugene off of him like a ragdoll and ran it in for about a 60 yard TD. That was all I needed to see!
If Williams can make it aboard and totally expect him too then add Quinn, Avery "Johnson" Peterson and a few others not to mention the potential of DeSean Smith at TE, this WR class could be very good.
The QB's we have for the future, yes it does look pretty sweet!
Does anyone know where DW was ranked coming out of high school??
247sports had him as a 4 star, #8 in the state

With 10 minutes in the morning, you can have a comforting soup simmering in the slow cooker. Dinner's ready when you get home!
Cream of mushroom or chicken soup can be used instead of the cream of celery.
To quickly thaw frozen vegetables, rinse them under cold, running water. All frozen veggies should be thawed before using them in a slow cooker recipe.
One cup of uncooked wild rice cooked in three cups of water yields 4 cups of cooked rice. It can take up to an hour to cook wild rice on the stove.

Crickets that are wondering whether we've just witnessed the beginning of the downfall of Arnold Rothstein.
Crickets that are wondering whether we've just witnessed the beginning of the downfall of Arnold Rothstein.
That's my jacket!
Hmmm....not so sure about that, yet.
I'd like to see more of a story develop with the Harrow siblings! There's got to be a bunch of deep, dark secrets there!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
The man's only got four years to live, and, IIRC, he was on a bit of a downward spiral his last few years. Just saying, the man in the poker game last Sunday is not the Arnold Rothstein we saw in Season 1.
I have this crazy feeling that if the show goes through 1928 (which I don't doubt it will), we might find out a little more about a certain notorious unsolved murder. And that it might somehow involve a bug-eyed guy from Atlantic City who sounds a lot like Randall from Monsters Inc.
That's my jacket!
Nooooooooo! Not Eddie!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
"I wouldn't put something alive in a box." Holy crap, that must be the best foot-in-mouth comment in TV history, and the subtle but noticeable responses from both characters were Emmy-worthy.
I'm actually thinking about this season what a lot of people said about Season 2 or Season 3: it's good, but it's progressing rather slowly. I like it, but it seems like it's getting padded more than a little. The Tampa subplot doesn't interest me much. I actually can't stand the "tough broad" stereotype bartender whose name I can't be bothered to remember. The only good thing about this subplot is the potential repercussions of Meyer and Lucky (well, until he was caught) going behind Rothstein's and Masseria's backs.
It didn't help matters that there was nothing about the Capones, Van Alden, or even Gillian last night. The return of Harrow to Atlantic City almost made up for it, and I eagerly anticipate where that's going, but the balancing act between the various characters hasn't been managed as well in Season 4.
I hate Valentin Narcisse. But it's in the same way I hated Gyp Rossetti. He's a great "villain." I want him to be put down like a rabid dog, but it's fun to watch him. (I can't help but think that since he's based on an historical figure, but they changed his name completely, he's doomed.) I'm noticing a lot of major parallels between that subplot and the main plot of Season 2: Chalky (like Nucky) is practically undisputed as the top of his game, when an external force (Narcisse/the Commodore) turns his right-hand man (Dunn/Jimmy) against him. I'd actually be a little disappointed if it plays out the same way. I love Chalky; he's one of the best characters on the show, easily. But resorting to almost the same plot would be lazy. It would be more interesting to see how the African-American underworld operates in a post-Chalky world, where Narcisse seems to have no interest in exercising direct control, and Dunn certainly doesn't have what it takes to pull it off. Not to mention no one knows how Dunn would deal with Nucky if there was no Chalky, particularly with the racist Narcisse pulling his strings. (Yeah, it's not reverse racism. It's the same whichever way it's pointed.)
I was a bit disappointed with Chalky at the end of last night's episode. I always thought of him as having a strict code, even if it's a twisted one, and seeing his family as the most important thing in his life. Of course, she totally seems like a plant from Narcisse, and he's let his guard down, so I think he might be building some bookcases soon.
The best part was what seemed like it should be the weakest: Eli, Mickey, and Agent Knox. Mickey's alternating between throwing out jokes and being scared to death of Eddie's room was priceless. And Knox thinks he got what he wanted from Eli in an unwitting informant, but the bit with the handkerchief seems to indicate Eli might secretly have the upper hand. (Who the hell is "JTM," by the way?)
That's my jacket!
Good sir, that is a Pulitzer Prize-winning post!
I can only add that Chalky's four word description of Narcisse was another classic moment for his character. I was taken aback by the writing of those lines.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
The little revelation about Knox and Gaston Means last week threw me for a loop. As did Hoover's taking credit for Knox's theory, and Knox's reaction. At this point, I have no idea where this is all going, but it sure looks promising.
Unfortunately, as much as I hate to say it, I have a feeling the great Michael K. Williams will not be returning next season.
That's my jacket!
Well, that played out the way I hoped, but not the way I expected. A bookcase was most certainly not being built this evening.
Wonder how long we'll have to wait to see if Eli nodded or not.... I'm thinking not, but, then again, he may be more loyal to his son than his brother.
That's my jacket!
I'm on the fence about Eli. I, too, am hoping he will see that he was only trying to be helpful with Willy and remains loyal to Nucky.
Hoping to see Van Alden unleashed next week!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
In any case, Eli knows for certain that Knox is not the hayseed he seems.
Also, a quick glance at Wikipedia tells me the real Gaston Means was tried and went to jail in 1924, the year Season 4 takes place. I cannot help but think that this will play a major role in Knox's subplot.
That's my jacket!

I've been looking into teaching, the Army has the Troops to Teachers program. They work to place you in a teaching position when you transition out of the military.
The only problem is, I plan to retire in Colorado and the salary for a teacher in pretty low.
I can make more money if I stay in Medical Maintenance and focus on digital imaging (X-Ray, CT, MRI, etc.). I just got certified in PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) which is basically a networked computer system that allows doctors to view X-Ray, CT's, MRI's, etc. from remote workstations. So a doctor in New York can read and diagnose patients in California.
I'm torn between my desire to teach and my desire to provide a little more for my family.

Antony and Cleopatra. Romeo and Juliet. Scarlett and Rhett.
We love a good love story.
But our favorite is that of Pen and Paper.
Thus, we were delighted to pick the brain of Rick Propas — a specialist for Swann Auction Galleries, where he directs the newly created Department of Fine and Vintage Writing Instruments — whose first pen was given to him more than 50 years ago.
"In the Jewish tradition, it's customary to give a boy a fountain pen at his bar mitzvah," Propas explained. "I didn't get one, and when I complained to my dad, he pulled out his own pen and gave it to me."
Propas has been collecting vintage pens ever since.
For the hero of this story — the modern fountain pen — 1884 was a monumental year. It was the year a New Yorker named Lewis Edson Waterman invented a pen that featured a three-channel feed that allowed air to go up and ink to come down, making it both re-fillable and pocket-friendly.
At the time, the pen was still considered a status symbol. Fountain pens were reserved for the affluent, while everyone else used the humble pencil. Around the turn of century, though, pens began to be marketed to the likes of school kids and white-collar workers, as it was then that tremendous innovations and improvements were made in manufacturing, led by the likes of pen purveyors such as George Parker and Walter Sheaffer.
Then came — drum roll, please — the Golden Age of pens. In the 1920s, a new material emerged that would replace the hard rubber used to make writing instruments. It was called celluloid, and Propas compared it to the scene in The Wizard of Oz in which a black and white Kansas turns into a Technicolor land of munchkins and yellow brick roads. Unlike hard rubber, celluloid could be made into different patterns and colors, and soon serious designers like Raymond Loewy were creating pens out of fantastic plastics.
The nib — the part of the pen that touches paper to deposit ink — also evolved. While the first nibs were steel, today's are gold, a soft alloy that gives a certain feeling to writing. Today, they are 18k, but during the classic period, the finest nibs were made of a slightly less alloy — 14k — which offered much more spring and better in performance. Today's pens are less responsive than the classic ones, said Propas.
"We've changed writing styles. People used to take time to write letters, keep journals. Handwriting was an art form that we took pride in. Today, we write differently. We want to write quickly and easily, and so modern pen nibs are designed with that in mind."
Propas proclaimed the nib the heart of the pen. That said, it is a pen's balance that is the most important factor when investing in one to actually use.
"If it's too heavy or too light," Propas warned, "writing is going to be a misery."
When it comes to point width, "Some people like to drive fast," he said about the wide nib. "Some people want to drive slow," he said about the finer nib. "As a teacher, I use a finer point. But in the summer, I let it rip."
And while fancy doesn't always equal function (some of the most expensive, ornate pens are just made to look at, Propas explained), a good-looking pen can be a coveted work of art.
One in particular at the top of Propas' list is the Aurora Etiopia, a pen created to celebrate fascist conquest of Ethiopia in 1935.
"The irony," Propas observed, "is we'll be selling two at Swann's inaugural pen sale in September — and I can't touch either them."

Mt. Lebanon couple, CMU students work to transform water bottles into useful itemsFebruary 1, 2014 10:14 PM
An estimated 300 billion plastic water bottles are discarded as litter every year around the world, 30 billion in the United States alone. When David Saiia of Mt. Lebanon taught business at Ithaca College, he took students to Ecuadoran villages for sustainable development projects and was aghast at the number of plastic bottles on hillsides and in streams and rivers.
During a trip in the mid-2000s, he thought: What if a simple machine could turn all those plastic bottles into something with a lasting purpose?
With $80,000 in grants from the National Collegiate Innovators and Inventors Alliance, he developed a prototype to do just that -- a 70-pound hand-cranked tabletop machine that has an inset for a variety of plastic bottle sizes, a cylinder to turn each bottle and a blade to cut it into strips.
The plastic strips, from one-half inch to three-quarters of an inch wide, are fused into long strips that can be made into fencing for construction, agriculture and erosion control; greenhouse roofing; and tropical roof thatch, among other things.
Now working on the next generation of what he calls the Radical Reuse Machine, Mr. Saiia and his partner, Vananh Le, last year incorporated the Reuse Everything Institute. The nonprofit is their vehicle to begin tackling the plastic bottle litter epidemic with a business proposition for entrepreneurs, both here and in developing nations.
The institute is one of 12 semi-finalists competing for funding in the annual Fast Pitch sponsored by Social Venture Partners Pittsburgh and scheduled for March 6. More than $30,000 and prizes will be awarded.
The Reuse Everything Institute is working with engineering students from Carnegie Mellon University's Engineers Without Borders program. Through that collaboration, 40 to 50 students at a time are taking part in improving the technology and are involved in designing a prototype of the next generation machine, said Mr. Saiia, CEO of the institute.
"After we make one, we hope to keep them in the $40,000 to $50,000 range," he said.
The long-term goal is to get the machine mass-produced at an even lower cost for would-be entrepreneurs who don't have startup capital to launch a business.
"We would provide the training and give entrepreneurs the machine," said Ms. Le, the institute's director. "They would pay back over time and the money will go into more machines, maintaining them and improving the technology."
Ms. Le also has started a jewelry enterprise network, Xephyra, for women in Vietnam reusing fabric and fibers.
The couple met at Duquesne University when he was teaching strategic management and sustainable enterprise development and she, a former Peace Corps worker with experience in nonprofit management, was studying for a degree in sustainability.
"I was doing a project on reducing plastic bottle waste when I heard about this guy who had developed and patented a machine," she said.
Buying bottled water can cost an individual hundreds of times more a year than using tap water. The environmental cost of creating the plastic bottle, filling it with water, shipping it and disposing of the plastic afterward uses an estimated 15 million barrels of oil, according to the Earth Policy Institute.
"To use plastic once and throw it out is really a crime," Mr. Saiia said. "It is an amazing resource. When in ultraviolet light, it takes 15 years to break down but it could last 2,000 years" otherwise.
Plastic strips woven together and used with gravel to stabilize roadbeds would outlast the road.
"What's becoming more clear is the amazing number of things you can make from plastic bottles," he said.
Used in developing countries, the machine could help people get a leg up in starting a business, earning more than subsistence wages and raising the economy of a small village, he said. "It could prevent the brain drain" that's so prevalent in poor areas. "It could also motivate people not to burn plastic," a common and toxic practice.
The first step will be to put the machine to work creating small businesses in the Pittsburgh area.
The couple has proposed their product to the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy for use as construction fencing for upcoming projects in Frick and Schenley parks.
"We have had an exploratory meeting and we are looking at what might be possible," said Kate Freed, vice president of development for the conservancy. "It's a fascinating technology, an interesting reuse, and it's wonderful he is using the great talent" of engineering students.
In Ecuador, a footbridge in a nature reserve is covered with plastic thatching that was cranked out from the Radical Reuse Machine.
Plastic strips attached to bamboo can make a much more durable thatch roof, Mr. Saiia said.
The ones made of reeds have to be replaced every few years and they harbor a destructive beetle that cannot live in plastic. Plastic trumps corrugated metal and fiberglass as an option because it allows air to flow through it, lets light through and doesn't make a racket in the rainy season.
"With unemployment as it is, we have to think about ways we can create opportunities," Mr. Saiia said. "Instead of throwing away huge amounts of resources like plastic, we can create opportunities for community-based manufacturing, like what Pittsburgh was based on."

By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — The city is partnering with the Mississippi Department of Transportation in a 10-week program of paid summer jobs for young people.
The Commercial Dispatch reports the City Council voted to appropriate $20,000 to match the state's $35,000 grant for the Urban Youth Corps summer program. The amount was twice the requested total.
The extra money, suggested by Councilman Kabir Karriem, will allow more young people to participate, said Travis Jones, director of federal programs for the city.
Applications will be available at area high schools and colleges, and interested students ages 16-25 can get information from school guidance counselors.
The 20-hour per week, minimum-wage jobs will be Mondays through Thursdays from 7 a.m. to noon. Work will begin June 3 and end in early August.
More than 300 young people are expected to apply for the 30 openings. They will have to interview for the positions, just as they would for any job. The process includes drug screening.
Their work will include planting trees, landscaping, litter control and graffiti removal around Columbus.
The program also includes a life skills class in which participants learn about job interviews, work dress codes, civic involvement and financial responsibility. Students who do well are given positive work references they can carry to their next job.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: Not long after completing The Rose, DeFeo moved to a small cottage in Marin County, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Exhausted by her labor on The Rose, she ceased making art for nearly four years. This mixed media drawing, After Image, was one of the first works she made following her hiatus. DeFeo based its central image on a photographic reproduction in a book about shells. In some ways, it presents a stark contrast with The Rose.
DANA MILLER: It's small scale, it's intimate, it's flat, except for the torn tracing paper that is layered on top of it.
NARRATOR: In calling this work After Image, DeFeo suggests that it depends on something that came before. After eight years painting The Rose, she could hardly have made this composition—with its central aperture and radiating lines—without thinking of her masterwork. But the materials and the overall effect are very different.
DANA MILLER: It's very illusionistic. It's primarily acrylic paint, and rather than letting the image emerge out of the process of painting, she has located a source image and has chosen to depict it with a highly mimetic, realistic quality. That approach sets the tone and really outlines the approach of much of her work for the next, I would say, five or six years.

11.18: Paleozoic Plate Tectonics
Why are the continents near the South Pole?
The continents joined during the Paleozoic and they were also not in their current latitudes. In the late Cambrian, for example, they were clustered around the south polar region. It's probably just chance that they found their way there.
The Paleozoic
The Paleozoic is the furthest back era of the Phanerozoic and it lasted the longest. But the Paleozoic was relatively recent, beginning only 570 million years ago. Compared with the long expanse of the Precambrian, the Phanerozoic is recent history. Much more geological evidence is available for scientists to study so the Phanerozoic is much better known.
The Paleozoic begins and ends with a supercontinent. At the beginning of the Paleozoic, the supercontinent Rodinia began to split up. At the end, Pangaea came together.
Formation of Pangaea
A mountain-building event is called an orogeny. Orogenies take place over tens or hundreds of millions of years. As continents smash into microcontinents and island arcs collided, mountains rise.
Geologists find evidence for the orogenies that took place while Pangaea was forming in many locations. For example, Laurentia collided with the Taconic Island Arc during the Taconic Orogeny (Figure below). The remnants of this mountain range make up the Taconic Mountains in New York.
The Taconic Orogeny is an example of a collision between a continent and a volcanic island arc.
Laurentia experienced other orogenies as it merged with the northern continents. The southern continents came together to form Gondwana. When Laurentia and Gondwana collided to create Pangaea, the Appalachians rose. Geologists think they may once have been higher than the Himalayas are now.
Pangaea was the last supercontinent on Earth. Evidence for the existence of Pangaea was what Alfred Wegener used to create his continental drift hypothesis, which was described in Concept Plate Tectonics.
As the continents move and the land masses change shape, the shape of the oceans changes too. During the time of Pangaea, about 250 million years ago, most of Earth's water was collected in a huge ocean called Panthalassa (Figure below).
Pangea was the sole landform 250 million years ago, leaving a huge ocean called Panthalassa, along with a few smaller seas.
- The Paleozoic began with the supercontinent Rodinia and ended with the supercontinent Pangaea.
- As continents come together, orogenies build up mountain ranges.

I keep my PM box full. Use email to contact me: email@example.com.
You seem to believe your political viewpoint gives you a special license to be obtuse and nasty. When you send me a personal email that says, "Don't ever call me a Commuist...I would whip your ass for that if that was in person ..you just fucked up and got ignored.", you seal that conclusion. Now run off and get your diaper changed.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
That coursework also involved readings of a variety of other political thought including Fascism and Democracy. We read a diversity of political theory including Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hegel, Locke, Russeau, Jefferson, Calhoun among others.
My explanation of the theory of communism does not mean I am its advocate. I am firmly a Jeffersonian.
Welcome to the land of the free.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Where do you get your ideas about communism? I lived through it. The state/party is up your ass .... literally (pardon my crudeness).
Theory? or Reality? Keep livin in Disney Land Douche, they will come for you also.
Don't , worry about your lack of educational skills Patrick, they shall Re-Educate you in due time.

"Hey Pat. You are proving to me with every post the insufficiency of your educational background"
Guess Douche thinks you need an Ivy League education to espouse "REALITY".

Answers by Expert:
No homework questions, especially ones copied and pasted from textbooks. I will answer questions about principles or give hints, but I do not do other's homework. I'm comfortable answering basic biochemistry, chemistry, and biology questions up to and including an undergraduate level of understanding. This includes molecular biology, protein purification, and genetics. My training/inclination is primarily in structural biology, or how the shapes of things affect their function. Other interests include protein design, protein engineering, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. My chemistry weaknesses are that I do not know organic or inorganic synthesis well, nor am I familiar with advanced inorganic reactions. I will attempt quantum mechanics and thermodynamics questions, but primarily as they relate to biological systems. Furthermore, I cannot tell you if a skin photograph is cancerous, or otherwise diagnose any disease. I can tell you how we currently understand the basic science behind a disease state, but I cannot recommend treatment in any way. Please direct such questions to your medical professional.
I hold a PhD in Biomedical Science from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. I specialize in Biochemistry, with a focus on protein chemistry. My thesis work involved the structure and functions of the human glucose transporter 1. (hGLUT1) Currently I am a postdoc working in peptide (mini-protein) design and enzymology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. I am in Bjorn Steffensen's lab (PhD, DDS), studying gelatinase A and oral carcinoma.

On last week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, we got a little glimpse into the personal life of everyone's favorite housewife hunk, Albie Manzo. There was speculation about him having a girlfriend, so after my world stopped spinning and my eyes were all out of tears, I decided that I had to know just who this chick was. Not just any girl is allowed to love my precious little Albie Manzo; she better be something special.
Tonight's episode will be focused around the whole Manzo family finally meeting this girlfriend, who goes by the name Lindsey Andrews. I did some digging and found out as much as I could muster about this chick before the episode, when we can get the real lowdown. So here are some fun facts about the girl we all wish we were: Lindsey Andrews.

New Home for RIC Art Students: Ribbon Cutting Marks Completion of First Phase of Alex and Ani Hall

Lincoln Chafee; Giovanni Feroce, CEO of Alex and Ani, LLC; Designer Carolyn Rafaelian, founder and creative director of Alex and Ani, LLC; Eva-Marie Mancuso, chair of the Board of Education; Prof. William Martin, chair of the art department; and Regina and Jack Partridge.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for Alex and Ani Hall at RIC, which marked completion of the first phase of the reconstruction. The festive event was replete with live music by RIC brass players, comments by dignitaries and an extended tour of the facility.
Joining RIC President Nancy Carriuolo on stage was Gov. Lincoln Chafee; Giovanni Feroce, CEO of Alex and Ani, LLC; and Designer Carolyn Rafaelian, founder and creative director of Alex and Ani, LLC. In attendance were faculty, staff, students and friends of the college.
Carriuolo thanked Alex and Ani for "rejuvenating jewelry manufacturing in the state and for helping to rejuvenate the art facilities at RIC." The $17-million, state-of-the-art building was funded by a bond approved by voters in November 2010 and a $1 million contribution by Alex and Ani, LLC. In his remarks, Feroce said that he considers the gift a good investment.
"Part of the process of building a business in the United States is reinvestment," he said. "Our company reinvests by creating workforce incubators in institutions of higher education like Rhode Island College."
Other than RISD, RIC has the only jewelry-making program in the state. For six consecutive years, its jewelry students have won honors at the annual Student Jewelry Design Awards, sponsored by the New England Chapter of the International Precious Metals Institute.
Chafee addressed the "importance of supporting improvements to educational infrastructure, which directly affects learning." He said, "Anytime we're investing in education and infrastructure, it's a good investment."
RIC's previous art facility dated back to 1958 and is remembered – though not fondly – by art students Ryan Holmes and Vee Hight (jewelry concentrators), Lawrence Timmins and Evan Korstein (ceramics concentrators), and Christian DeCataldo (sculptor). Their memories ranged from "lack of adequate ventilation," "sawdust, metal dust and other debris in the air," "poor lighting," "lack of adequate equipment," "general lack of workspace" and "being scattered all over the campus in four or five buildings."
Carriuolo thanked the art faculty and students for contributing to the design ideas for the building. She said, "I asked our art faculty and students to think about what they would need in an art facility today as well as 10 years in the future." A total of 98 rooms, sized for different functions, were designed to span two floors. Some of the workspaces are very tall loft-like areas able to accommodate large-scale welding, cutting and lifting equipment.
Reconstruction of Alex and Ani Hall is a two-phase project. Work on phase one of the project began in April 2012, construction of the rear of the building – the manufacturing end – designed for what is called the "dirty arts," such as jewelrymaking, ceramics, sculpting and printmaking. The second phase of the project is scheduled for completion in March of 2014.

Multivitamin supplements for pregnant women: New insights
Eric Ahn, Alejandro A. Nava-Ocampo, MD, MSC, Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC
May 2004
One of my patients is planning pregnancy and has started taking multivitamin supplements. She is experiencing gastric discomfort. What are the alternatives?
Gastric discomfort is usually related to iron intake; pregnant women could use supplements with less iron. Pregnant women need 0.4 to 1.0 mg of folic acid daily. If they have a family history of neural tube defects (NTDs), insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or epilepsy, or are currently taking valproic acid, carbamazepine, or antifolates (eg, sulfonamides), they are at intermediate-to-high risk of having babies with NTDs and need 4.0 to 5.0 mg of folic acid daily.
L'une de mes patientes planifie une grossesse et a commencé à prendre des suppléments de multivitamines. Elle souffre depuis ce temps de malaises gastriques. Quelles sont les options de rechange?
Les malaises gastriques sont souvent attribuables à l'ingestion de fer; les femmes enceintes peuvent prendre des suppléments contenant moins de fer. Les femmes enceintes ont besoin de prendre de 0,4 à 1,0 mg d'acide folique par jour. Si elles ont des antécédents familiaux d'anomalies du tube neural, de diabète insulinodépendant ou d'épilepsie, ou si elles prennent actuellement de l'acide valproïque, de la carbamazépine, des antifoliques (par ex. des sulfonamides), elles courent des risques allant de modérés à élevés d'avoir un enfant souffrant d'anomalies du tube neural et doivent prendre de 4,0 à 5,0 mg d'acide folique par jour.
Prenatal multivitamins are recommended before and during pregnancy to prevent iron-deficiency anemia and neural tube defects (NTDs).1-3 A range of prenatal supplements are available; most meet the required dietary allowance for pregnant women.
Some patients have very low tolerance of iron because they have morning sickness, which is experienced by 50% to 80% of pregnant women.4 A new twice-a-day prenatal multivitamin supplement (PregVit) might be an appropriate alternative for women unable to tolerate the side effects of ingesting iron at high doses. The morning tablet contains 35 mg of iron, almost 50% less than is in most prenatal multivitamins. Calcium is provided in the night tablet so that it does not interfere with the absorption of iron, which is why the lower dose of iron is adequate.5,6 A recent study at the Motherisk program showed that patients absorbed similar amounts of iron from PregVit and another widely used prenatal supplement.
Even today, following folate fortification of flour, about half of Canadian women have folate levels below the protective 900 nM and thus are at increased risk of having babies with NTDs.7 Folic acid supplementation is especially important before closure of the neural tube at approximately 28 daysâ gestation (iron becomes more important during the second and third trimesters). Folic acid might be beneficial throughout the first trimester in preventing other malformations also.8
Women who have a family history of NTDs, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or epilepsy, or are currently taking valproic acid, carbamazepine, or antifolates (eg, sulfonamides) are at intermediate-to-high risk of having babies with NTDs. These women need 4 mg to 5 mg of folic acid daily starting before they become pregnant.
New and potentially important findings were recently reported in an analysis of all published folic acid dose-level studies. Results demonstrated that to achieve the needed serum concentration of 900 nM, 5 mg of folic acid are required daily. This dose, rather than the previously recommended 0.4 to 1.0 mg dose, could prevent 85% of folate-dependent NTDs.9 The main concern with this high dose of folic acid is that it could mask vitamin B12âdeficiency pernicious anemia. Making a general recommendation for higher folate supplementation must await in-depth analysis of the effects of the âlow folateâ fortification instituted in the United States and Canada in 1997-1998.
Finally, prenatal multivitamins contain iron and calcium, both of which are potent inhibitors of absorption of levothyroxine.10,11 A recent study found that doses of levothyroxine do not need to be modified if prenatal multivitamins are taken 4 hours after ingestion of levothyroxine.12 Concomitant ingestion of iron causes marked decreases in the bioavailability of a variety of drugs.13 The major mechanism of these drug interactions is the formation of iron-drug complexes.

The SpiritLed Woman podcast is empowering women weekly to follow their purpose in Christ and boldly walk in faith. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
I grew up around a lot of negative lifestyles. For years as a child, I experienced grief, abandonment, abuse and homelessness. Some people think that if you ignore past hurts, they will just go away. But the anger and the core feelings that are born in an abusive environment can strangle an individual's emotional and developmental growth.
Many women have had to deal with the kind of mistreatment that was intended to control and subjugate them. Abuse of any kind breeds fear and damages the soul, made up of the mind, will and emotions. Ill-treatment devalues a woman and wears down her self-respect.
Too many women who are believers in Jesus Christ are still unable to walk in authority and dominion. Instead they are struggling with depression, identity issues and diminished self-esteem.
God has predetermined that you and I are to be conformed to the image of His Son. We must receive our true identity from Christ.
The adjustments and changes that constitute your spiritual growth won't come about easily. But the more you affirm who you are in Him, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true nature and identity.
Your self-image is made up of what you think about your life—how you perceive your intellectual ability, emotional stability, temperament and ability to love. It includes your powerful imagination, reasoning skills and level of confidence in your ability to influence others.
A damaged self-image can set up a person to accept and expect abusive treatment from others. But this does not need to happen. The damaged soul can be repaired.
We can learn to take responsibility for dealing with the self-defeating habits, addictions and behaviors in our lives. These things do not have to stunt our psychological growth, arrest our personal development and sabotage our ability to successfully manage our lives as adults.
The Starting Point
The psalmist David wrote: "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake" (Ps. 23:3). Deliverance from the power of darkness and the dominion of sin begins the restoration process. Reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ imparts to us forgiveness and freedom from guilt.
It was my relationship with God that opened the door for radical change in my life and in my understanding of the meaning of life itself. But choosing to take this first step and trust God was difficult for me. Before I discovered that I needed to deal with me first, I was looking for answers and seeking to understand what was wrong with everyone else.
I recognize the temptation to attribute every bad situation to demonic activity. But we have all had supernatural attacks against us that exploited our weaknesses. In my life, years of religious and emotional abuse eventually escalated to domestic violence.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not discussing the abuse with anyone. Demonic forces target our secrets. I had to admit there was a problem before God could break this cycle in my life. I chose to walk in His truth and made my emotional health a priority.
When we experience God's merciful forgiveness toward us, it demands that we forgive others. I had to forgive the hurtful people in my life. When I forgave them, I was released from their mental control. Then I became empowered to begin the process of confronting the lingering effects of abuse on my own emotions.
Blaming others for the problems we face won't resolve them. Neither will making light of them nor denying their existence. In order to cut to the core of your troubling situations, you must be equipped by the Holy Spirit to function with accurate and balanced discernment as you exercise your spiritual authority.
The things that happened to me were real. Yet, because of the reality of redemption, neither the sins that were committed against me nor the sins I've committed have any legal right to make demands on my mind, my will or my emotions today.

From the bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All comes the true and truly hilarious story of one person's quest to become the healthiest man in the world.
Hospitalized with a freak case of tropical pneumonia, goaded by his wife telling him, "I don't want to be a widow at forty-five," and ashamed of a middle-aged body best described as "a python that swallowed a goat," A.J. Jacobs felt compelled to change his ways and get healthy. And he didn't want only to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far greater: maximal health from head to toe.
The task was epic. He consulted an army of experts-- sleep consultants and sex clinicians, nutritionists and dermatologists. He subjected himself to dozens of different workouts--from Strollercize classes to Finger Fitness sessions, from bouldering with cavemen to a treadmill desk. And he took in a cartload of diets: raw foods, veganism, high protein, calorie restriction, extreme chewing, and dozens more. He bought gadgets and helmets, earphones and juicers. He poked and he pinched. He counted and he measured.
The story of his transformation is not only brilliantly entertaining, but it just may be the healthiest book ever written. It will make you laugh until your sides split and endorphins flood your bloodstream. It will alter the contours of your brain, imprinting you with better habits of hygiene and diet. It will move you emotionally and get you moving physically in surprising ways. And it will give you occasion to reflect on the body's many mysteries and the ultimate pursuit of health: a well-lived life.

With three bestselling titles in his One Man's Humble Quest series, Jacobs decided to become "the healthiest man alive," first consulting medical experts, making a list of outré diets, and putting himself in unusual situations. To try out the Paleo movement's Caveman Workout, "which is all about being natural and savage and out in the wilderness," he ran bare-chested through the wilderness of Central Park. He investigated the antiaerobic "slow fitness movement" that requires exercising only 20 minutes a week. With a 70-page to-do list, he tried everything from acupuncture to Nature's Platform, a metal stand for squatting on top of a toilet since "there's bona fide evidence squatting is better for you." Each body part gets its own chapter; in "The Gonads" he recalls a urologist who told him, "When I do a prostate exam, it's easy. I use one finger. Maybe two if I want a second opinion." Jacobs achieves an instant intimacy with the reader, making his family life as much a part of the narrative as his many meetings with medical theorists and health gurus. He's a clever humorist who successfully takes his readers on a round trip from reality to absurdity, dispensing solid, valuable health information along with fascinating oddities. (Apr. 10)

Well, I am resigned to the fact that one day Suarez will leave. I just don't think it will be for another couple years. For me, when that day comes, it won't be a meltdown for me. It will be depression. And possibly a break from this site. Not out of anger, but out of sadness and heartbreak.
Selling your best player to buy more players is never a good idea.
"Luis is not for sale, any bids
for the Uruguayan will not be
entertained. it is very clear and straight forward, we will not sell our best players"
"I think it will be pretty straightforward. Raheem himself, his representatives and his family, they know he's at the best club he can ever be at for his development in both the short and long term," said Rodgers.
"So that will be resolved. There won't be an issue there."

As we continue to develop our skills at leave no trace, we need to come back to planning.
Planning sets you up not only for an outstanding trip in the wilderness, but a trip that will exercise the principles of leave no trace.
In order to develop good habits of leave no trace you need to consider LNT throughout your planning process.
Here are 8 elements to consider when planning the trip.
(Note: the highlighted material is from "Teaching Leave no Trace" BSA publication 21-117)
1. Identify and record the goals and expectations of your trip.
This is important as you should have a set of goals for each trip. Even if the goal is just to go out and have fun. Setting goals will keep you focused while on the trek.
2. Identify the skills and abilities of the participants.
Knowing the skill level of those on the trip determines where you go, what you take, and how much training needs to happen before you go. It is important when planning to know the abilities of the group when it comes to leave no trace, and lays a solid foundation of the LNT principles.
3. Select destinations that match the goals, skills, and abilities of participants.
As stated above, the skills level and goals of the group will set the course of the trip.
4. Seek information about the area your group plans to visit from land managers, maps, and literature.
An important part of the planning process is knowing where you are going, how to get there, and what the restrictions are in the area. Getting maps and talking to land owners is important. As Scouts we want to ensure that we treat property with respect and use only land that we are authorized to be in. Know the rule of gates… if you see one that is open, leave it open, if it is closed, close it behind you…or do not enter.
5. Check the normal weather patterns and temperature ranges fro the area during the time of year your trek is planned. Get a projected weather forecast the night before departure. Adjust your plans if necessary, considering the knowledge, experience, and preparedness of the group.
Planning right up to the last minute is important as conditions may change or access may be limited due to sudden changes in weather. Do not let a little rain stop a trip, as much as weather changes can come, they can also go. What starts out as a rainy trip can turn into a sunny, beautiful trip. But also be careful for extreme weather. Head the warnings of weather forecasts. The Guide to Safe Scouting outlines precautions to consider about weather.
Also check out Scouting Safely and learn more about training for hazardous conditions and more.
6. Choose equipment and clothing for comfort, safety, and follow leave no trace principles. Include these outdoor essentials:
Extra Clothing
Extra trail food
Rain gear
Pocket knife
Matches and fire starters
Water bottles
Map and compass
First aid kit
Sun and insect protection
Small trowel for digging small cat hole
Small strainer for removing food particles from dish water
Gators for muddy or rocky trails
7. Axes and saws are not needed for collecting wood for a leave no trace fire.
Leave no trace fires burn only downed, dead materials laying on the ground. If you can't break it with your hand, you should not burn it.
8. Plan trip activities to match the goals of the group.
Back to number 1. Know the abilities and goals of the group. Plan your activities to meet the needs and goals of the group. If you are taking a group of newer, younger Scouts, set the goals to match their skill level.
And finally evaluate the trip. Learn from what you did well, what you need to improve on, and what you need to stop doing. A good idea is to keep a log. Write it all down, you won't regret it for future trips.
Happy Scouting!

Syracuse has another quarterback in the mix to replace Ryan Nassib in 2013.
CuseNation.com has confirmed the Post-Standard's report that Miami (Fla.) Carol City quarterback Akeem Jones has selected Syracuse. The senior committed to the Orange while on his official visit, per one source, while the Syracuse newspaper's report said he chose SU over Louisiana on Wednesday.
"The coaching staff was awesome," said Jones after visiting officially on the weekend of January 25. "The players there have a tremendous bond. You can definitely see that.
"Everybody up there, I don't see any 'I' I just see 'we.' It was just a nice time. It was a great experience."
The dual-threat signal-caller spent three seasons with the Carol City Chiefs, snagging the starting QB gig as a junior. At some point thereafter, current Syracuse offensive coordinator George McDonald noticed him while recruiting for Miami and then Arkansas. But the interest didn't pick up to the status of a scholarship offer until McDonald took the job with the Orange.
"Coach McDonald got in touch with me since he got to Syracuse. It was something that came in late, but it was big," Jones said. "Coach McDonald has been following me for the last two and a half to three years. Ever since he was at the University of Miami. He was never in position there to offer me the scholarship as a quarterback. But since he moved to Syracuse, it opened the door for him to offer me.
"So then it was really cool because there was no way I would've thought he'd be following me for these three years since he left the University of Miami."
At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Syracuse is getting a raw talent with the ability to get the ball down the field with zip in addition to his running ability. Jones isn't a pure passer just yet, but his natural ability has the chance to translate well in the ACC with added work on technique, mainly mechanics and footwork.
Jones joins Mitch Kimble and Austin Wilson in Syracuse's quarterback haul in 2013. Jones' letter of intent papers have yet to be signed by his mother, who doesn't reside in South Florida. According to the report, she should be traveling down to Miami any day now to complete the process.
Provided everything goes well with the impending fax, Jones will become the 20th member of the Orange's first class under Scott Shafer.

The Challenger Muay Thai - New Reality Show, Features Worldwide Talent
- Written by Rian Scalia
A new muay thai reality show is set to hit the airwaves on Sept. 15 across Asia. Being dubbed "The New Contender Asia," the show features 16 muay thai fighters from around the world, all vying for the title of Muay Thai World Champion and the grand prize of $100 000 USD.
Here's the official description:
Produced by the Imagine Group and The Group Entertainment, under supervision of the World Muaythai Council (WMC), the world's governing body for the sport of muaythai, the reality competition series will be set and shot in Malaysia. Whether for glory or gain, 16 world-class fighters will fight it out to win the ultimate title of Muaythai World Champion and the grand prize of US$100,000! The fighters have been hand picked from a selection of international professional fighters from the WMC 128 member countries.
From Malaysia, Thailand, to Israel and South Africa, the motley crew of fighters trail blaze an impressive track record both in their countries and in the international arena, with numerous championship titles under their belts. With ages ranging from 18 to 35, the calibre of fighters is certainly unparalleled. Some have started their training since the tender age of seven, while others have fought The Contender Asia champion Yodsanklai and even won. With intimidating monikers like 'The Cheetah', 'The Sniper' and 'Black Dynamite', it is clear that the boys are not in town to play. With such high stakes, each and every fighter will not go down without a fight!
Each week, the fighters will be subjected to a rigorous bout of training from their two trainers Hanarong and Nugget, revolving around the 'weapon of the week'. These include spiritual ideals such as respect and fearlessness, as well as focusing on each component of their body, their natural weapon in the context of Muaythai.

Chapter 6: Using Computer Simulation to Make Better Business Decisions
This chapter is an introduction to how computer simulation can be used in business to improve the decisions that business managers make. In the scenarios that this chapter addresses, improved decisions result in increased profit, reduced cost, and better service to customers. The chapter first describes basic business concepts such as profit, customer service, capacity, and demand. Understanding these terms is important because one purpose that simulation can serve is to help managers make decisions about how much investment should be made in the capacity to make goods and provide services in response to customer demand, so that profit and customer service are improved. A familiar setting is used as an example in this chapter, specifically, a fast food restaurant. The lessons in this chapter lead to a description of how a computer simulation model might be created to mimic the operations of the restaurant to help a manager understand how different decisions can lead to different levels of profit and customer service. Essential background information and skills are provided throughout the chapter, such as the concept of probability distributions and Excel spreadsheet functions that are required to create the simulation model.
This chapter seeks to:
- Introduce business terminology that is generally applicable to all businesses.
- Define what demand, capacity, inventory, and customer service mean in business.
- Provide a basic understanding of variation and uncertainty.
- Describe how variation and uncertainty make business decisions more difficult.
- Explain how computer simulation can take uncertainty into account to enable better decisions.
- Provide a tutorial on how to build a simple spreadsheet simulation in Microsoft Excel.
As such, this chapter introduces simulation to students in the hope that they will become excited about the topic and decide to study it further, along with related topics such as probability and statistics. Those who find this subject matter interesting might want to consider jobs in the field of industrial engineering or in businesses where the kind of analysis that is described in this chapter is studied and used. The chapter also suggests that, while being a business manager is not usually considered to be a scientific job, scientific methods like simulation can be used in businesses to improve profit.

I've heard the term "Hound Stink" used before, and I'm wondering if that's what I'm noticing with my Beagle.
Every once in a while we have noticed a foul odor on her, we've pinpointed it to her back near the base of her tail. The odor doesn't last long it goes away on its own, and it's not all the time just once in a while. My boyfriend is far more sensitive to it than I am, I barely notice it unless he points it out and even then I have to sniff close to the area to notice it. We haven't been able to connect any situations to it, like heavy exercise or fear or anything like that. And it's not that she's dirty, sometimes its even right after a bath.
Wondering if other Beagles get this "B.O." too? Is it just one of those things, or something to be concerned about? All suggestions welcome
For many dogs this is caused by grain heavy ( low quality ) dog food. Try taking a step up in quality dog food and see if it helps. For example Blue Buffalo Basics , Canidae and Merrick make quality dry kibble. You may want to consider grain free kibble. A feed store will be a good place to shop. Try to use a 4 star or better Dog food.

We're feeding her TLC, it's equal to if not better than Blue Buffalo - based on the research I've done. The breeder even offered an extra year on her health guarantee if we keep her on this food. So I don't think it's her food. Is there a vitamin that may be lacking in her diet that could help with this?
MacMouse ,
I am not familiar with the TLC brand , however , when I looked at the ingredient list I was impressed. AS for vitamins and minerals it looks to have everything you could want in a quality dry dog food with the exception of vitamin K which is being removed from many dog foods.
The Hound odor in some dogs has been associated with yeast problems. This is just a guess , but , you may want to try a anti-fungal shampoo for dogs.
The Herbal package in TLC is another question as it is possible that one of the herbs could be the offending agent causing the Hound Odor in your dog.
You may want to try a test of single source protein simple diet for a short period of time , 3 to 4 weeks. I do understand about the breeder wanting you to keep your dog on high quality food and giving you an extra year on the health guarantee. Perhaps your breeder would go along with a short term test with a different protein source.
Only try one thing at a time so if something works to improve you will know what it was.
Sounds to me like you are taking wonderful care of your dog and I wish you and your dog good luck. Please post how things go.

@snapbacksus, congrats you found the right place for your posts.
When we adopted Vazzle she really was smelly and her fur was oily. We changed her food, brush her often and give her Vitamin E. No more stink and no more oil!
If the odor you smell comes from the back end, it could be an anal gland issue. That is a definate stink. If it is the anal glads your beag would probably be scooching her butt on the ground or carpets.
With my beagle ,he had a smell coming from his rear, and his problem was his anal gland needed draining. You can do this yourself, but I always let my vet do it.

Coal Miners Wont Back Obama This Time
The United Mine Workers of America enthusiastically supported Barack Obamas presidential campaign in 2008, but this year the union and its disgruntled members dont plan to back Obamas re-election bid.
As of right now, weve elected to stay out of this election, said Mike Caputo, a vice president on the UMWAs International Executive Board and a Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates.
Our members right now have indicated to stay out of this race, and thats why weve done that.
Caputo told National Journal he couldnt remember a time when the UMWA with more than 100,000 members in 2008, the last year the union updated its numbers did not endorse a presidential candidate.
Obamas GOP opponent Mitt Romney has been claiming that Obamas Environmental Protection Agency is waging war on coal with too many regulations.
Our members count on coal-fired power plants and burning of coal to keep jobs, Caputo said. Were a very Democratic union and we try to listen to the rank and file. Theyve sent a clear message that theyre not supportive of the environmental rules that are being put in place.
An increase in natural gas production has contributed to a decline in the demand for coal. But politically, the EPA is the culprit for the coal industrys woes, National Journal observed.
Throughout Appalachia where Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia converge, the coal industrys disgruntlement with Obama is plastered on yard signs and billboards.
One billboard near the West Virginia-Pennsylvania border, sponsored by a coal-industry group, tells drivers they are entering the Obama administrations no jobs zone.
Four years ago, UMWA President Cecil Roberts said Obama understands that coal will remain a primary source for electricity generation in this country for many decades to come. Obama will work to ensure the future of American coal and the jobs that go with it.
But this year Roberts made a reference to terrorism to describe the actions of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, stating in a radio interview: The Navy SEALs shot Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and Lisa Jackson shot us in Washington.
