It is fortunate that you must be an NRA member to belong to the gun club where I shoot. It is one place the PC gestapo has not invaded. ...we even put up Christmas decorations.

Wow Jeff ..you really do not like Wayne Lapierre. I'll admit that he is not my all time favorite either, and I get tired of the sensationalist alerts and constant pleas for money. The reality is that they are the only organization gun owners have to speak out in defense of our second amendment rights. They'll get my support as long as the constitution can be reinterpreted to suit someones Utopian fantasies..
For what it's worth I think the reason anyone must be a NRA member to join the Gun club is because the clubs insurance is through the NRA also.

I don't have any problems calling a spade, a spade. I've been critical of both Democrats and Republicans! They have both created the current financial mess, failed foreign policy, failed domestic policy and lack leadership. It won't change over the next 4 or 8 years. Torture? I'm all for it if it keeps American citzens safe, it's just that SIMPLE to me. It should be an option available to our President. Sometimes you have to hurt someone to protect your own, a concept foreign to some. Maybe too many of us have lived too sheltered a life and think we live at Strawberry Fields. Assualt Weapons? Sometimes people need killing. If someone broke into my house my option would be to pick up the defense weapon that has the most killing potential. Or, if many long guns are banned I may need an automatic 6mm to defend my rights. How else will they be able to pry it from my cold dead fingers? I was in Los Angeles during the Rodney King riots in 91. Anyone remember that truck driver getting bashed in the head with a brick?Well, that won't happen to me.The Korean families living in the downtown LA area saved their families and businesses because they had assult riffles.And, there will be more riots and violence because the world is neither fair or safe. Bob G, welcome to the underground. Lets call it the ADF(American Defense League) in the future.Julie, that photo is halarious. UB, keep posting your great material!

"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
know all you manly men who call yourselves conservatives and have guns, think that anyone who doesn't think like you do are weak or limp spined. I can tell you from working 22 yrs as a Corrections officer in NY that some of these guys who yelled the loudest how tough they were and owned guns were some of the biggest pus#%$ I knew. The guys that didn't say much and who I am sure you would consider weak, were the guys who were there when you needed them most.
Dah no giant DAH
you are dealing with criminal minds,,,you are dealing with pathological liars and scitzo's
If you are putting them on the same plane as someone who gets up early 5-7 days a week and works his balls off till dark,,,and who has to fight the F,n government to keep a small portion of the fruits of his labor then maby you should be catgorized in the same boat as your clients
I guarantee your clients are liberal and would suck whatever they can from an honest person
Criminals love the liberal mindset.

I would guess that since you drive a sub compact hybrid that you dont see why people should be allowed to own SUVs or trucks... I seldom see anyone calling for forced ownership of guns so why do you feel that you should have forced restrictions on gun ownership by those legally entitled to own firearms? Choice is a good thing because it allows you to decide for yourself and not someone to decide for you. No two people in this world will agree on the same things and that is why you can chose not to own those scary black guns while I can chose to own as many of them as I can get my hands on. How exactly do I do you any harm by owning assault weapons?
We are a nation that is less than 300 years old and we are very fortunate that our government and society has run pretty smoothly with the exception of the Civil War. This is not always the case in many other countries and things here could change in the blink of an eye. In all likelihood anarchy, revolution on a large scale is not going to occur here and we all hope it does not. We also hope that we are never involved in a war that comes to our shores and that too seems like a very unrealistic possibility, but it is in fact a possibility none the less. Much like an insurance policy that you hope to never use owning the best form of protection you can is in your best interest. I hope that my firearms are never used for anything more than killing birds and tasty mammals and if that is the case I will pass them along to whoever I see fit in my will, but should some catastrophic event ever occur I will at least give myself and family a fighting chance to defend ourselves against whoever is meaning us harm, be it an outside force or a tyrannical government.
BTW- you used a double negative (don't think there is no reason). Are you just yanking us? Do you really mean you think there are reasons, becasue if you don't think there are no reasons you must agree that there are in fact reasons

How to... Dress for Success
Arguably the leader of the pack, finely hewn footwear is in abundance for Fall. In a nod to film noir, 1940s inspired heels ruled, while tomboys received their due with lug soles and more masculine detailing. On the other side of the sartorial coin, there's always room for the super sultry by way of up to there boots in sumptuous fabrics and for those who have free reign on their stomping grounds, stacked heel booties are made to go the distance.
How to Plan Your Perfect Wardrobe

By Marquita Brown/The Clarion-Ledger
JACKSON — The cause to which fitness guru Paul Lacoste has dedicated his life is also what recently helped save it.
Lacoste, who has garnered national attention for his annual fitness challenge series Fit 4 Change, contracted West Nile Virus this fall and then experienced life-threatening complications.
For about a week, the man who would typically run for 30 minutes to an hour each day had to use a walker.
Now, "I'm back," 38-year-old Lacoste said. "I'm ready to go. I'm ready for the new year. I'm ready to inspire and coach a whole other group of people from across our state."
Lacoste said the experience has strengthened his passion for fighting obesity in Mississippi. He also wants to help raise awareness of the dangers of the mosquito-borne virus.
Toward the end of the summer, Lacoste began having headaches and neck pain. He had other symptoms, too, including exhaustion.
After noticing his right upper quadriceps were severely swollen, Lacoste went to his primary care doctor, who put him on antibiotics.
That was the first in a series of tests and procedures that included surgery to drain hematomas — pooled blood — that had been found in Lacoste's leg.
He was walking into his house with his 2- and 5-year-old sons when he felt a sharp pain in his upper thigh muscles. The next morning, he said, "I started having full-blown muscle convulsions all over my body. I fell out."
Lacoste was rushed to the hospital.
He had a fever that would not subside. Nurses would frequently have to change his sheets, which were soaked with sweat. Catholic priests at St. Dominic Hospital stopped in his room and prayed.
Lacoste said it was scary not knowing what was wrong. Doctors ran test after test before confirming he had severe West Nile disease.
Mississippi had 250 confirmed human cases of West Nile Virus in 2012 — about five times more cases than in 2011, according to the state Department of Health's website.
Five Mississippians died of West Nile in 2011 and in 2012, according to the state Health Department.
Lacoste said the virus attacked his spinal column. When he tried to move or walk, "nothing was firing correctly" because of the damage to his nerves and spinal column, Lacoste said. He was having micro tears all over his body. He also had all the symptoms of meningitis and polio.
"I'm very lucky to be alive," Lacoste said.
Lacoste has lost about 30 percent of the strength in the right side of his body. He's again lifting weights, walking and jogging to regain that strength.
For now, he said, he's lifting weights that before he wouldn't have used to warm up. Lacoste has gone from a typical workout with 115-pound dumbbells to one using 50-pound dumbbells.
He would run about four or five miles in half an hour. Now, he said, "I'm able to run about a mile before I'm just exhausted."
"A lot of times I do get really tired late in the day," Lacoste said. "I can still feel that I'm not 100 percent as far as my own personal strength. But my ability to work and perform as a coach, I'm all there."
Lacoste's approach as a fitness coach is often described as tough, hard-nosed, passionate.
Or, as state Rep. Steve Holland put it, "Paul's mean as hell. He's just an absolute freakin' tyrant. But he knows what he's doing. He's very committed."
Holland, D-Plantersville, participated in the first Paul Lacoste Sports Fit 4 Change program in 2010, and he plans to participate again this year despite complications from a total knee and knee cap replacement surgery.
"Thanks to the mental and physical training that Fit 4 Change brought to me, I just live in a world of wellness now and physical activity," Holland said. "I have learned how to moderate my diet. I have learned how important it is to habitually exercise if it's nothing but walking 30 minutes a day."
Holland continued working out and making healthy choices when he returned home. That effort, Holland said, has spilled over to his family, friends and constituents, as well as peers at the Capitol.
"It just keeps on keeping on, and that's the beauty of it," Holland said.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves lost about 18 pounds in a class with Lacoste over the summer.
He also shaved about 2.5 minutes off the time it takes him to run a mile. He also doubled the number of push-ups and sit-ups he could complete.
Reeves plans to participate in Fit 4 Change again this legislative session.
"His hard-nosed nature really inspires the people who are in the class to do better and better," Reeves said of Lacoste. "You can see it. The classes are at 5 and 6 in the morning, so the individuals there, they are making a sacrifice."
Those participants have also made the decision to improve their overall fitness level, and almost every member of the summer class finished the program, he said.
"I think that Paul's passion for improving the overall health of Mississippi and Mississippians comes through in every single class that he does," Reeves said.
That passion is contagious, he said.
Rep. Mary Coleman, D-Jackson, has also seen success in the program and plans to participate again.
"Personally, I've toned up. I've lost weight, my blood pressure went down," she said. "I'm just doing it because I want to stay as healthy as I possibly can."
Lacoste is "very firm," she said.
"It doesn't matter whether you're a legislator or state employee or an ordinary (resident). He treats us all the same. He hollers at all of us.
"You have to have a strong stick-to-it-iveness in order to stay there because sometimes people's feelings get hurt," Coleman said.
Those who participate for the right reasons can endure, she said.
With Fit 4 Change, said Rep. Hank Zuber, R-Ocean Springs, there are two dynamics working together to cause "tremendous" weight loss: Lacoste and teamwork.
"I joined to get back into better shape and to be more healthy and to lose weight," Zuber said.
He has met those goals each time. He's aiming to lose about 18 pounds this time.
When he first participated in Fit 4 Change, Zuber's challenge was to endure the 45-minute workouts.
"I was hardly able to do any sit-ups and push-ups," he said. "Obviously after that first week, your body is very sore and your muscles are very sore."
So he had to get through the soreness and lack of stamina.
"Then the weight just comes off.
"This is what he (Lacoste) lives for, and it's his goal to not only just change the people who participate in his class, but to change the entire state and to make all Mississippians healthier," Zuber said.
Lacoste said he now knows what it means to have to start over.
"For me, when I first started training, I was in seventh grade. I've always trained," Lacoste said.
Training continued to be a key part of his life as he played football in high school, college and as a professional.
"I just can't imagine not sweating in a day," Lacoste said. "To me, that's just part of what you should do."
Despite the setback, Lacoste is thankful.
"I think he (God) put me down for a while physically so I can realize how much I love what I do and I need to be as strong as I can be. I need to be as healthy as I can be to continue to push this message forward for Mississippi."

Te'o, Lance & Scrub a dub-dub
Posted By Steven Keys On Jan 21 2013 @ 6:12 pm In Featured | 9 Comments
So you're thinking about attending this year's NFL Scouting Combine in February?
When you do, best just leave your 'moral-compass' back at the motel. Won't need it.
If the Manti Te'o scrub-up is any indicator, the character-test won't be given out at this year's obstacle course, or any other NFL dress rehearsal, for that matter.
Since the Deadspin article on Te'o's fake, leukemia-stricken girlfriend hit the fan early last week, handlers of the Notre Dame All-American have been running him and his reputation through a media wash & spin cycle.
Irish AD-VP Jack Swarbrick kicked things off Wednesday with an 'I believe Manti' press conference.
On Friday, ESPN's Jeremy Schaap interviewed the sequestered, fallen hero who fielded questions filtered through his attorney.
Now, Team Te'o has reportedly reserved time on the Katie Couric show this Thursday with his parents alongside as buffer. This Manti guy, he's a real piece a' work.
A clean-up job like this is rare, but the character kiss-off in the sport biz is nothing new.
Remember Larry Phillips (NEB / '96), the Cornhusker who dragged a woman down a stairwell and then Tom Osborne returned him to the roster just in time for the big game? The red-flags were flyin' high on Larry but he still got the royal treatment on draft day (R1-P6 / STL). Now he's resident of the California penal system. I wonder if Tom & Dick would've played social-worker had Larry not been a gridiron star? I'm thinking…no.
Te'o didn't go caveman on anyone, he just played us all for Neanderthals.
Why don't I believe Manti's denial of any involvement in concocting the fake, fateful girlfriend? Because no man, I mean NO man, who is generally honest, would refer to an on-line friend whom he never met, neither in person or by video chat, even if believed to be real, as a "girlfriend" when speaking in public. No man.
But an arrogant, ignorant man might fabricate an on-line "girlfriend" with special purpose in mind: to cultivate attention & sympathy that will help to bring a Heisman contender the votes necessary to win the coveted award and the fame & fortune which accompanies its receipt. Every little bit helps when you play on that side of the ball which has never been primary workplace of a Heisman recipient.
A friend who purportedly dies of cancer is a sad tale to listeners. A "girlfriend" who dies is a memorable story to Heisman voters, especially when the word and its sad story are dropped into practically every interview you give.
The golden-domers had another Heisman hungry hero back in the day by the name of Joe Theismann (Theez-man). Some believe Joe changed the pronunciation of his last name to rhyme with the famous trophy in hopes of garnering votes. If true, goofy and kinda' desperate, but harmless enough.
Te'o is claiming victim status, Swarbrick is firmly in his corner, a new MT girlfriend has appeared and a fabrication fall-guy has stepped forward (R. Tuiasosopo), a guy who's motive (Just for kicks?) will be as unbelievable as the Te'o denial. A weak explanation, to be sure, but it's their story and they, along with most the media, are gonna' stick to it.
The print media remains divided, skeptical of Manti Te'o, but Sportscenter is scrubbin' like mad.
John Clayton on Te'o: "No character issue (1/17)."
Bill Polian: "No character issue."
Schaap the Younger, assigned to Mr. Clean duty, conducted a closed-door interview with the beleaguered footballer on Friday (who looked like he'd just rolled out bed), ostensibly to get the true story but more likely to scrub-down the player's image before his draft-value plummets and ND's recruitment suffers. Jeremy on Te'o: "believable." Bravo.
Earlier in the week, Oprah Winfrey Scrub & Shine provided the same service for Lance Armstrong Amalgamated. As Lancer's record of deceit & skullduggery is major league in comparison to the young Te'o's tally of tsk-tsks, he'll need many more drives through the 'character car wash' before he's presentable again, corporately speaking. But Lance is a savvy dude. He might still take PEDs mainstream, if the lawsuits don't do him in.
When the media outlet that breaks the Manti Te'o hoax boasts its biggest claim to fame to be the Sterger / Favre item, it's fair to say our 4th branch of government (the media) is not meeting its duty to the public interest. 'Captured' might be the relevant word here.
Like Mr. Phillips, Te'o will probably go 1st round in this April's NFL Draft. And he will fare better, mentally speaking, than Larry did if he remains true to this one, simple rule. It's called the Costanza Rule: "It's not a lie, if you believe it."

I received mine from HasbroToyShop earlier this week. The boxed vehicle seems a touch small for the $25 pricepoint, though once the fins are attached, there's a little more footprint to it.
The vehicle follows the Starfighter pricepoint's recent trend of no weathering on the paint, this is a very clean look, and the shiny smoke windscreen really adds a sharp look to the whole thing. There are 2 stickers pre-applied to the dashboard, on mine one is a little off but I suspect I would have done no better, they're pretty thin. There's deco on the various gimmicks to help give the ship a quality feel that the V-19 Torrent lacked. The ship oddly features 6 Jedi insignia, 2 big ones on the top front, 2 small ones on the headrests, and 2 on the fins.
The ship has no wheels, instead a few nubs and a fin on the underside. The streamlined hammerhead shape is not quite as sleek or as large as the one in the show, a little more square in the body. With the hidden missile launchers exposed by sliding out the sides of the hammerhead front, the width of the speeder looks quite a bit better, with the sleeker width to height ratio it should have. There's plenty of finer sculpted detailing, even on the insides of panels and such, and the cockpit has good details and a turning steering wheel.
The gimmicks start with the aforementioned hidden front missile launchers, these are the best because they make the ship look wider and sleeker, they have a lot of interior sculpting, the missiles can pass for laser blaster nubs and have decent detailing, and they're not easy to accidentally fire - they're designed so they can't fire when stowed, which is great.
The rest of the gimmicks though, I don't know about. The nacelle thrusters on the back fire the same missiles, which is a bit odd. The holes they leave don't look as good as having the missiles loaded. But they fire strongly and aren't easy to accidentally set off.
There's a sculpted droid slot, this is something Hasbro totally made up, but I guess R2 has to get around as well. Hasbro's FINALLY made a droid slot that works though, there's a sculpted lip to hold the feet in place. It works well for CW astromech figures, it's a little loose on mainline figures but they also stick way out the top so they don't look as good there. I wish they had created a plug to close this up, or something along those lines, because it's too obvious when you're not using a droid that it's a droid slot.
Behind the droid slot, 2 panels lift up to reveal a 2-man gunner station complete with attached, hinged rifles. There's a sculpted foot peg inside for each guy, and detail sculpting about. The panels come off a little too easily, and the guns don't fold flat enough to use this section nicely as just transport. The 2 missiles in the fin engines can be stowed in there though.
The fins are also hinged, but go up only, they're meant to be shields for the back gunners station but don't really add any significant cover, and mainly just look odd. It's also odd that a simple Jedi speeder would be this heavily armed, and with clone-manned anti-personnel blasters no less, but I guess Hasbro wanted to make something toyetic out of all this otherwise simple space.
Despite all the gimmicks, I do still feel like it's missing something else, something to put a real statement on the compromises made to the sleekness and size, not to mention the $25 pricepoint. It's not that it doesn't have "enough" gimmicks, it's that most of them don't hit the spot as well as the one in the front, and the ship isn't quite exciting enough by itself to pull off just that. If they had included a cover for the droid slot and a second canopy that covered the whole thing for space travel, this would be a home run (despite the forgettable gimmicks in the back).
I currently have season 3 Ahsoka driving, and she is a little short but can pull it off. CW R4-P17 is in the droid slot, very snug, but even with his shorter height than movie-line figs, he looms a little. The cockpit isn't too narrow for 2 figures, I just crammed CW space suit Anakin in the passenger seat and he fits fine (thankfully CW figs have narrower shoulders, so there's enough room to look comfortable), but I don't know how a lesser-articulated figure of that height would look, it'd probably stick up above the windscreen a bit high.
All in all, this is a decent little set, but not a home run. I enjoy it, it's fun to whoosh around, and it holds figures and has weapons and detailing, but at times it does feel like it could be even more.

By NEMS Daily Journal
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee voted against a $50 billion disaster aid bill for Superstorm Sandy victims this week, saying it should have been accompanied by spending cuts.
"I support providing aid to communities hit by natural disasters. I am opposed to the broken process that led to spending $50 billion without cutting spending elsewhere," the Tupelo Republican said.
"Disaster aid, like all federal spending, is not free. We either pay for it
now or pay for it later with interest. I think we should have paid for it now."
The House approved the aid package Tuesday 241-180. Nunnelee was the only Mississippi representative to vote against it.
Republican Rep. Steven Palazzo, who represents the Mississippi Gulf Coast, supported the aid package after earlier opposing it, for which he was heavily criticizee in his home district.

Uranium mill tailings field research site in Rifle, Colo.
The Department of Energy has a long-term responsibility to contain uranium leaked into the environment at mining and processing sites. Uranium has a complex chemistry that determines whether it is immobilized or moves out of a contaminated area, potentially into water supplies.
New research on the transformation of uranium (VI) to uranium (IV)—the most common oxidation states of the element—discovered that bacterial biomass in the ground impacts this transition.
Studies were carried out at the Rifle (Colorado) Integrated Field Research Challenge site to determine the behavior of uranium (VI) exposed to natural conditions and the underlying controlling biological and chemical mechanisms. The experiments, conducted by scientists from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, showed that uranium (IV) unexpectedly was present both as a monomeric, biomass-associated uranium (IV) species and, to a much lesser extent, as nanoparticles of uraninite (UO2). Researchers attribute the presence of the former to the binding of uranium (IV) to phosphate groups in biomass following the chemical transformation of uranium (VI) to uranium (IV) by reaction with iron sulfides or bacterial enzymes. Since a substantial portion of the uranium is found in this form, models of uranium transport in contaminated subsurface environments need to recognize the existence of multiple pathways for reduction of uranium (VI), including the biological factors identified in this research.

At the time of regular abstract submission, attendees submitting abstracts must indicate the format in which they would prefer to present their abstracts at the Annual Meeting. Abstract submitters must choose one of the following: Platform, Poster, or Member-Organized Session. Each session type may be scheduled Sunday through Wednesday at the meeting.
Platform presentations will be chosen from among the abstracts submitted that have indicated an interest in being considered for a platform session. The Program Committee will select eight abstracts to be presented per platform session. Abstracts accepted for platform presentations will be organized into parallel sessions, running concurrently with symposia, Sunday through Wednesday. Speakers in these sessions will each be allotted 15 minutes for presentation and discussions. Abstracts not selected for platform presentation will be scheduled in an appropriate poster session. To ensure diversity in the scientific program, presenters who have spoken in a platform session at the previous Annual Meeting may not be selected to speak in a platform session during the current year.
Attendees submitting abstracts may select which topic category the abstract falls under. More than 900 posters submissions will be scheduled each day of the meeting.
Annual meeting attendees who are interested in organizing a member-organized session on a specific topic not included in the abstract categories must meet the criteria listed below in order for the session to be considered by the Program Committee. If a proposed member-organized session is not selected, the abstracts submitted for the session will be programmed either in an appropriate platform session or poster session. Speakers have 15 minutes for presentation and discussion. There must be eight speakers in a session.
Member-organized session proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Those selected will be scheduled into sessions running concurrently with platform sessions and symposia, Sunday through Wednesday. Organizers and speakers listed in member-organized session proposals will be sent formal notification from the Society office of the Program Committee's final selections.
Cover broad topics in biophysics with presentations by leading experts in their field. All symposia speakers are invited to speak by the program committee.
These differ from symposia in that workshops are technique-oriented. They cover emerging methods presented by widely acknowledged developers and experts who help the participants gain a working knowledge of new technologies. They are held on Sunday and Tuesday nights only. Speakers are invited and are more senior scientists.

The Florida Bar
The Florida Bar News
November 15, 2012
THE OCBA 2012 LEADERSHIP LAW inaugural class participants attended a seminar presented by Jan C. Garavaglia, M.D. (center) at the Ninth Judicial Circuit's medical examiner's office. "Dr. G" spoke about the history of the profession and its importance within the judicial system and led a tour of the facilities.
Orange County Bar Association seeks Leadership Law Program participants
The Orange County Bar Association is currently enrolling participants for its award-winning Leadership Law program.
The program was developed last year to provide Central Florida business owners and managers an opportunity to learn about and experience the legal system in action. Leadership Law was awarded the National Association of Bar Executives' LexisNexis Community Education and Outreach Award at the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago this past summer.
Leadership Law, which meets once monthly at the OCBA center, includes interactive, seminar-style courses on business matters led by Central Florida judges and attorneys.
Mary Ann Etzler, the program's facilitator, said in addition to substantive information, Leadership Law provides participants a behind-the-scenes opportunity to "network with the presenters and have some of their questions answered on issues that impact their businesses. It is information our participants just can't go to school for."
Leadership Law includes topics related to complex business litigation, contract negotiation, intellectual property, employment law, and bankruptcy law. Seminars are held at the OCBA center as well as off-site at the Orange County Courthouse, the federal courthouse, the medical examiner's office, and Orange County's juvenile justice center.
"The program gave us an opportunity to put a human face on the lawyers and the courts and see how our society is interlinked," said 2012 class participant Jim Daniels, an insurance agent and the vice president of legal and legislative affairs for the National Association of State Farm Insurance Agents.
Tiffany Altizer, a CPA, along with 45 other business owners, managers, and community-based organization leaders, attended last year's program.
"Our local justice system will touch you in some way, at some time during your career," Altizer said. "Gaining this education makes the process less intimidating and ultimately will help with the navigation when the time arises."
In speaking about the association's mission, OCBA President-elect Paul Scheck emphasizes its "long, rich history and tradition of serving the profession and providing ongoing services to the community" that goes back almost 80 years.
"Leadership Law extends the reach of the bar's programs, augmenting the valuable civics education provided to local students, and the quality legal assistance and advocacy provided to low-income residents, the working poor, children, and disadvantaged groups with special legal needs in Orange County," Scheck said.
The Leadership Law 2013 enrollment deadline is December 14. Details about meeting dates, curriculum, and enrollment are available on the OCBA website at leadershiplaworangecountybar.org.
The Orange County Bar Association, a voluntary professional association established in 1933, is comprised of 3,200 attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals.

Mayne Pharma will supply HPPI withSUBA-Itraconazole for use in clinical trials and for future exclusive commercial supply following FDA approval
Singapore: Australian drug giant Maybe Pharma Group has announced its signing of an exclusive supply and license agreement with US-based HedgePath Pharmaceuticals (HPPI) to pursue clinical development, registration and commercialization of Mayne Pharma's patented formulation of itraconazole, known as SUBA- Itraconazole, for treatment of a variety of cancers in the US.
As part of the agreement, Mayne Pharma expects to appoint one representative to the HPPI Board. Although the agreement is effective immediately, it remains subject to certain conditions being achieved, as detailed in the current report on Form 8-K that HPPI filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2013. Subject to meeting these conditions and in return for granting HPPI exclusive US rights, Mayne Pharma is expected to acquire an equity stake in HPPI of between 30-to-45 percent.
Under the terms of the agreement, Mayne Pharma will supply HPPI with SUBA-Itraconazole for use in clinical trials and for future exclusive commercial supply following the US FDA approval.
Mayne Pharma and HPPI are collaborating through a joint development program for SUBA-Itraconazole in oncology, with the initial areas of investigation being selected indications in prostate, lung and skin cancer.
In the US, there are more than two million new cases of these three cancers reported annually and the pharmaceutical market size to treat these diseases exceeds $5 billion and forecast to grow more than five percent per annum over the coming decade.

He should have passed out the letter with copies of this one, I can bet it's flying off the shelves:

In this country, revolution was probably prevented by the New Deal reforms. During WWII, governemnt engagement in the economy -- not as the planner or director, but as a regulator -- gained acceptance and was a positive factor helping the US to recover faster and stronger during the 1950's and 60's than any other country in the world. The risks of a return to the earlier period of unbridled corporatism were pointed out by the famus Communist Dwight D. Eisenhower as he was leaving office in his warning about the dangers of the "military industrial complex". That growth continued almost unabated with astronomical marginal tax rates until the energy "crisis" (I would say energy war) of the 70's. During that period of growth, incomes grew at all levels and the reduced concentration of wealth seen in American was generally credited as being a major reason why we were more successful than other countries with a greater concentration of wealth.
I believe that much of the economic problems we face today are directly the result of the return to more of a pure economy of greed and the encouragement of short sighted greed by the government. Economists have long recognized the difference between a "competitive market economy" which is very good at meeting most, but not all, needs for healthy growth, and an uncontrolled "free market" economy that descends into monopolism. Economic monopolies benefit no one except their owners and ultimately destroy the economy by using their power to undermine innovation that might threaten entrenched positions.
Personally, I believe that the appropriate measure of economic health in an economy is real median income. If that number is going up than most people are benefiting from growth. If that number is going down but average income is increasing (the situation we have faced in recent years), than we are facing economic and political disintegration. If both median and average income are declining, as is the case today, we are in the midst of econmic failure. Generally, the best way out of that failure will involve increasing relative incomes in the lower 70% of the population first to rebuild the consumers needed to drive long term growth.
The question I would pose is what are the facts that lead you to say that massive concentrations of wealth are the foundation for growth. You actually say "Massive concentrations of wealth, or even modest wealth, are what built this country and provided employees the ability to consume."
I would argue tht the bolded part of your sentence is actually the most important and that the weakness we see today is because employees have not been allowed to benefit from growth and have now run out of money as a result.
Jeff you mentioned something earlier about "shift in the return on labor". How about the effect of 12 to 20 million illegal laborers added to the supply of labor? The laws of supply and demand at work. If there is unchecked capitalism it is on the side of the labor supply. We failed to check it. The same reasons for allowing the illegals was the same for slavery.
While some of this was possible even in the 50's and 60's, comparatively higher education levels and better social infrastructure made the American worker more productive and therefore "worth" a higher salary. That advantage has eroded.
We have invested less in education and infrastructure than other nations and the productivity gap has narrowed. As a consequence, American wages and the American standard of living have fallen relative to those in Europe and much of Asia. That, too, is inevitable. It can't be "fixed" by buildings walls around our country. However, it underscores the fact that issues of economic justice and competition must be addressed in a global manner. It also means that if we want to maintain our own position of economic leadership we must invest in education and economic infrastructure (communication lines, energy production, transportation, etc.) with the same fervor we have traditionally reserved for building weapons.
Jeff, your posts are great. What I meant by "concentration of wealth" was the availability of capital or credit by business and was a poor play on how you initially used the phrase. Let's face it: With out strong employers, our consumer economy is doomed. To exclude business from fiscal policy considerations at this time is pure folly. No references here to back up my thoughts, pure Garage Logic.
The word "Politics," is derived from "Poly," meaning Many and from "Ticks," meaning Blood Sucking Parasites-Kinky Freidman.
PS Expenditures on education have little to do with learning. Take the DC school system. Proper parenting is more influential, which requires a strong family unit that liberals attack.
"U.S. tops the world in school spending but not test scores
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States spends more public and private money on education than other major countries, but its performance doesn't measure up in areas ranging from high-school graduation rates to test scores in math, reading and science, a new report shows.
"There are countries which don't get the bang for the bucks, and the U.S. is one of them," said Barry McGaw, education director for the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which produced the annual review of industrialized nations.
The United States spent $10,240 per student from elementary school through college in 2000, according to the report. The average was $6,361 among more than 25 nations.
The range stretched from less than $3,000 per student in Turkey, Mexico, the Slovak Republic and Poland to more than $8,000 per student in Denmark, Norway, Austria and Switzerland.
The report cited Australia, Finland, Ireland, Korea and the United Kingdom as examples of OECD nations that have moderate spending on primary and lower secondary education but high levels of performance by 15-year-olds in key subject areas.
As for the United States, it finished in the middle of the pack in its 15-year-olds' performance on math, reading and science in 2000, and its high-school graduation rate was below the international average in 2001 — figures highlighted by Education Secretary Rod Paige.
The country fared better in reading literacy among fourth-graders, where it finished among the top scorers in 2001. But the declining performance as students grow older served as a warning to the nation, Paige said.
"These results highlight an extremely important truth about our educational system: I think we have become complacent, self-satisfied and often lacking the will to do better," Paige said.
Appropriate spending has emerged as a key political issue this year as the nation's schools deal with federal reforms. The No Child Left Behind law demands better performance from students and teachers, particularly in low-income districts, but critics say Republican leaders in Congress have spent too little on the effort.
The report, released Tuesday, sets international benchmarks and identifies areas for improvement.
Based on educational level, the report says the United States spends the most on higher education for every student and is a leading spender on primary and secondary education.
Paige said the nation must fill the gap between it and other countries, and bridge another between students succeeding in American public schools and those falling behind. Within that promising fourth-grade reading showing in the United States, Paige said, is a revealing number: the higher the percentage of poor students, the lower the average score.
"There's no such thing as a 'typical' fourth-grader," Paige said. "We want to go to each fourth-grader. We need to see who needs the help."
The new federal law requires states to chart adequate yearly progress — not just for a school's overall population, but for groups such as minorities and students who speak little English. Sanctions grow by the year for schools receiving low-income aid that don't improve enough. Consequences range from letting students transfer to a better school within their districts to handing control of a poor-performing school to the state.
"No other country is imposing such a rigorous requirement on its schools," McGaw said.
But from school boards to Congress, growing numbers of leaders say the federal government isn't committing enough money to the task. States must, for example, expand their standardized testing and put a highly qualified teacher in every core class by 2005-06.
Federal education spending has grown by $11 billion since President Bush took office, Paige said, but that includes spending beyond the first 12 grades. Even increased money for elementary and secondary education doesn't cover the law's sweeping expenses, said David Shreve of the National Conference of State Legislatures.

I agree with many/most of the comments on education in your "PS". My own observation, from personal experience as a student in Switzerland, and parent/grandparent in America, is that we do a pretty good job in elementary school and college and a terrible job in secondary school (7-12).
For secondary students too much emphasis is placed on non-academic activities (sports, jobs, social activities) and too little on academic work. When I graduated from high school, where I was a good but not stellar student, I had 32 credits including 18 credits in lab sciences. I took advanced placement classes in six subjects. This compares with US norms of 18 credits in total with limited opportunities for advanced placement classes.
The difference was that I went to school from 8 AM - 4 PM every day with virtually no free periods, taking 8 classes. Homework took an average of 4 hours/night with an occasional (2-3 times/month) all nighter to catch up. That was a "normal" schedule for European schools at that time. While I followed an "American" track in my studies, the European norm was also to complete 13 years of grade school before attending university. A reason for this was that a higher percentage of students did not attend college and the secondary schools were designed to provide a more complete educational foundation, somewhat comparable to what we do through junior colleges. In France and Switzerland, graduation was tied to passing a national proficiency examination covering a broad range of subjects including foreign languages, science, history, primary language, literature, and philosophy. Think how much more could be done in American high schools by adding 2-3 hours to the daily class schedule and by defining proficiency to include a little more than reading, writing and arithmetic.
We will be relegated to following other countries instead of being the leaders in innovation, so long as we, as a society, continue to view being intelligent as "uncool". It is very, very difficult to get young people interested in a career in the sciences or technology (unless it is writing gaming programs). Some of this (maybe a large part) has to do with how intelligent people are portrayed on television. Think of any of a number of popular TV shows, and the most intelligent characters are almost always portrayed as socially awkward, unintelligible, and badly dressed. In short, nothing any self-respecting teenager ever wants to be within a hundred miles of! Is it any wonder that our mathematics, science, and technology schools are increasingly attended by foreign nationals, and less and less by US citizens?We have invested less in education and infrastructure than other nations and the productivity gap has narrowed. As a consequence, American wages and the American standard of living have fallen relative to those in Europe and much of Asia. That, too, is inevitable. It can't be "fixed" by buildings walls around our country. However, it underscores the fact that issues of economic justice and competition must be addressed in a global manner. It also means that if we want to maintain our own position of economic leadership we must invest in education and economic infrastructure (communication lines, energy production, transportation, etc.) with the same fervor we have traditionally reserved for building weapons.

text: On SirSteves home page, they had an article on a Playskool Luke with x-Wing eBay exclusive. I was wondering if anyone else had taken an interest with this? I bought 1, as it had a "buy it now" for $30. I have yet to see any of this line, and was happier with the overall look of the old playskool line, that is now "Galactic heroes". However, I will reserve judgement until I have this set in my hands, and can compare the two side by side. I will most likely not open this set as it is a limited #, so I hope it isn't something that is in a solid box with no window. Thoughts?

If you watched last season you know that he is an excellent coach. We are so vastly overmatched by everyone right now. Our 2 best players are a slow PG, who is not much better than a backup guard in the league and a PF shooter who isn't meant to be the leading scorer of the team. Other than that, the team is made up of bench and D-league players
You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit
We'd maybe have 2 or 3 more wins with Phil Jackson coaching this squad.
I agree but he seems to do it for the first 2 quarters, though
Being particular to the third quarter clearly points to halftime adjustments, but it could be a coaching issues (like he's good with more time but can't think on his feet) or personnel issues, meaning the roster is just missing so many skills he can't both adjust to keep attacking the bad guys and adjust enough to keep them from shutting you down.
I really believe it's just talent. Monty has shown clever sets and plays in the past. You can't scheme such a huge talent deficit like the Hornets have without Gordon and Davis.
Also other teams just don't take the Hornets seriously. Look at Miami v the depleted Spurs and against the Wizards. Miami took those games for granted when they both should have been blowout wins. It happens in an overly long regular season when teams only care about the playoffs

SPE holds first-ever Global Parts CompetitionComments Email Print
LAS VEGAS — Call it the Super Bowl of SPE parts contests — the Society of Plastics Engineers kicked off its first-ever Global Parts Competition at Antec 2014, as nine award winners from local divisional conferences vied for overall awards under the theme "Plastics for Life."
Jon Ratzlaff, the outgoing SPE president, announced the winners at the society's press conference April 28 at Antec, held in Las Vegas. He hopes the theme and bigger stage of Antec gives the parts, and the designers and companies that produce them, more publicity.
"We really want to promote this to the world. We don't want it going out just to the plastics industry, although that is a key, because people want publicity to get their parts out there. But again, what we want to show is what plastics can do for the improvement of life," Ratzlaff said.
Winners are:
Protecting Life Award was awarded to Plasan Carbon Composites, based in Bennington, Vt., for a carbon fiber X-brace over the engine of a Dodge Viper, to provide torsional stiffness, improving handling. The brace features an exposed-weave design.
Quality of Life Award was awarded to the blow molded BrightPak liquid dispenser developed by Plastic Technologies Inc. of Holland, Ohio. A bottle within a bottle, BrightPak is designed to replace large glass bottles that store chemicals used in areas such as semiconductors, light-emitting diodes and flat-panel displays. Accepting the award, PTI President Scott Steele said the glass bottle shatters if dropped, and the liquid is very expensive.
"Our goal is to solve that impact problem," he said.
BrightPak also netted Plastics Technologies the Improving Life Award.
Another product also won two awards in the SPE Global Parts Competition, this one a thermoformed automotive part from Europe. Picking up both the Sustaining Life Award and the Grand Prize was the rear door assembly for the new Renault Twizy electric car, made by Walter Pack Igorre of Bizkaia, Spain. The small door, with a single brake light, is assembled from five thermoformed and one steel part. The plastic parts are ABS and polycarbonate/ABS.
The nine total contestant parts were on display throughout the conference. They were submitted by the Rotational Molding Division, the Automotive Division, the Blow Molding Division, the European Thermoforming Division and the Automotive Composites Division.
SPE selected a panel of judges with experience in parts competitions. Divisions were allowed to submit two winners from parts competition categories — but Ratzlaff said SPE plans to allow more next year.
The judges worked from videos, PowerPoint presentations and written documents, all on a secure website. Judges decided which category each award fit into.
Ratzlaff said they decided on the "life" categories rather than traditional awards for blow molding, thermoforming and other plastic processes.
"Think about it a minute. The world's not going to know what blow molding vs. thermoforming is," he said.
Companies had to pay to ship the parts to the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, where Antec 2014 was held. That gets expensive, so Ratzlaff said SPE is looking for sponsors to help defray costs next year.

Getting into and out of Trouble with Git
[ By: Kate Hedström, ARSC Oceanographic Specialist ]
This article describes some of my experiences with git, a distributed
version control system. The git command line client is available on
ARSC systems. Here are the steps that got me into trouble:
1. Create private branch, check in private stuff
2. Apply a few fixes and check them in
3. Create new directory for new case
4. Decide the new stuff should be on the master branch
5. Check out master branch
So far, so good. The new directory is still there, not tracked by
git. But those few fixes should be in the master branch too. Let's try:
6. git checkout private
7. git log (get the sha1 number of last check-in)
8. git checkout master
Now we tell git about the new directory:
9. git add Apps/Arctic
10. git merge <sha1 from fixes>
Oops! A git status shows that many things changed - all those private
updates came along for the ride (and introduced a few conflicts). I
wanted a cherry-pick, not a merge. No big deal:
11. git reset --hard
12. git cherry-pick <sha1 from fixes>
The "git reset --hard" would have been no problem if I had never done
the "git add Apps/Arctic". Without the latter, git was not tracking
that directory at all, simply leaving it alone. Because I had entered
it into the Index, then decided to fall back to HEAD, it was tossed.
We got rid of that whole bad merge and got our cherry-pick. But wait,
our new directory has vanished without a trace! It's not in the master
branch, it's not in the private branch, and it's not in the index.
So what to do? I could try to reproduce the lost files, but I know git
must have them somewhere because they were temporarily in the index. A
web search on things like 'git recover' lead me to this great web
He talks about a similar but different problem, how to recover lost
commits, but the tip of running 'git fsck' is a lifesaver (I got the
same from simply 'git fsck' as from 'git fsck --lost-found'). It
listed over 40 'dangling blob' lines and one 'dangling tree'. I ran
'git show' on all of them and managed to extract five of my missing
files. I had a few more, but they must have been exact duplicates of
other files in my repository.
13. git fsck
14. git show <sha1 from a dangling blob>
15. git show <sha1 from a dangling blob> > Apps/Arctic/filename
Note that I had to provide the filename. The blobs are attached to
filenames in the tree object - the one dangling tree I had was not the
one I needed.
Once I had recovered all my files, I cleaned up my repository with:
16. git gc
I then tried 'git fsck' again and I was down to only eight dangling
blobs, including the five I needed. This makes the search go faster,
but I don't know that I'd have the guts to start with 'git gc' the
next time this happens to me.
Conclusions: Check in early, check in often, but all is not lost if
you mess up.
Practical Emacs Part I
[ By Christopher Howard, ARSC Research Project Assistant ]
Emacs is available on all user-accessible ARSC systems.
This article assumes the reader's familiarity with basic Emacs
navigation, notation, and terminology. If the reader is not familiar
with these concepts, please start Emacs and type Control-h followed by
t to launch the Emacs tutorial. Also, please refer to the Emacs
reference manual (C-h r) for a more detailed description of the topics
in this article.
First, determine which version of Emacs is available with the shell
command "emacs --version". Versions 21.* and earlier lack many of the
described features and sometimes use different key combinations.
Version 23.* or greater is recommended. The author uses 24.3.1. If
the system does not have a recent version of Emacs, it is not
difficult to build and install one from source; however, that process
will not be covered in this article.
Macros are without doubt the most versatile and practical feature
provided by Emacs, and they are sure to be used frequently. A macro is
basically a set of key presses or commands that can be created easily
and then repeated quickly.
To create a macro, press the F3 function key. Enter any combination of
characters and Emacs commands. When done defining the macro in this
way, press F4 to finish recording it. After this, each time the F4 key
is pressed, the last macro defined will be repeated exactly as
An aside: Some terminal applications and operating systems do not allow
Emacs to use these function keys. If that is the case on a system,
Emacs provides an additional set of key bindings for macros:
C-x ( Begin recording C-x ) Finish recording C-x e Use last recorded macro e Repeat macro (after first use)
With a little practice, this "on-the-fly" use of macros will allow one
to quickly perform some otherwise complicated text transformations and
to avoid contriving complicated regular expressions or substitution
commands. For example, imagine the following lines of text:
www.example.com; Example Site www.example2.com; Example Site 2 www.example3.com; Example Site 3 ...
Positioning the cursor at the beginning of the first line, the
key presses
F3, "", C-e, "", C-n, C-a, F4, F4, F4...
will allow the user to quickly transform the above text into
Example Site Example Site 2 Example Site 3 ...
It is also possible to apply macros regionally and to save macros for
future use. See the Emacs manual for more details. (C-h r m Keyboard
Query Replace
Normal search-and-replace in Emacs is done with the command M-x
replace-string. This is very handy, of course. Yet, sometimes one is
not sure whether it is safe to replace every instance in the buffer.
In such cases, use M-x query-replace.
The query-replace command operates in the same manner as
replace-string, except that the user is given the opportunity to
decide what will be done with each replacement opportunity. Press y to
replace and n to skip a replacement. Press ENTER to stop making
replacements. Press . (period) to make a final replacement and then
Quick Shell Commands
Sometimes, a user need to execute a simple shell command, but it is
inconvenient to open another terminal. For convenience, run the
command M-!, followed by the text of the shell command. The output of
the command will be displayed in the echo area.
For more complicated interactions, open the system shell inside Emacs,
with the command M-x shell. History can be accessed with M-p
and M-n.
See the Emacs manual for many more details. (C-h r m Shell)
Please note: because opening a shell buffer will take control of the
active window, the user may first wish to use the command C-x 2. This
will divide the Emacs window into two windows so the shell buffer does
not capture the entire display.
Indent Region
Imagine receiving someone else's source code file and discovering the
indentation is very messy. Simply run C-x h to select the entire
buffer and then C-M-\ to bring the text into conformance with the
proper indentation for the active Emacs mode.
This command, in combination with the command M-x
delete-trailing-whitespace, can be helpful for cleaning up source
The command M-x compile will launch any compile command desired in the
current working directory. (The default is "make -k".) The advantage
to compiling this way is that if the compile fails, the errors will be
displayed in a separate buffer window in Emacs. If the compiler
outputs the usual error prefix (file name, line number, column number)
the user can move to each error location in the source code by
pressing C-x ` (backtick) repeatedly.
Enter C-h r m Building m Compilation for more details.
Quick-Tip Q & A
These were the Quick-tip items from issue #421. Since responses
were never published, let's see whether there are some new ideas.
Q: I have some Fortran 90 code I want to call from inside Python. I have a setup.py file that can be used to build it, but I need to invoke it with "python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95". Is there any way to put the fcompiler option into the setup.py file, at least as a default?
No answers were forthcoming. We put the need for --fcompiler=gnu95 into the README file.
Q: I need to copy some large files between computers. What is the fastest way to do that?

Western architecture, history of Western architecture from prehistoric Mediterranean cultures to the present.
The history of Western architecture is marked by a series of new solutions to structural problems. During the period from the beginning of civilization through ancient Greek culture, construction methods progressed from the most primitive shed roof and simple truss to the vertical posts, or columns, supporting horizontal beams, or lintels (see post-and-lintel system). Greek architecture also formalized many structural and decorative elements into three Classical orders—Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian—which, to a greater or lesser extent, have influenced architecture since that time. The Romans exploited the ... (100 of 80,512 words)

Genital Herpes in Women
Genital herpes is caused by either the type 1 or type 2 sexually transmitted herpes simplex (HSV) viruses. A person that is already infected with the disease can pass the virus to others through sexual contact. Areas covered in mucus such as the vagina, genital skin, and the mouth lining are the main sources of transmission. Women are more inclined to contract the disease than men, and there are three main reasons why this is the case. One reason is that when compared to a man, the genital area of a woman is larger. Second, a woman's genitalia contains cells that are moistened by body fluids. Third, during menstruation, women undergo certain hormonal changes that can cause the immune system to weaken. This causes her body to become more susceptible to viral infections.
Symptoms of Genital Herpes Virus in Women:
- Difficulty urinating, unusual discharge from the vagina
- Pain in the genital area, buttocks, and legs
- Headache, muscle pain, joint pain, and fever
- Excessive abdominal area pressure
- Burning and itching in the genital region
- Glands swelling around the groin region
All of these are followed by an explosion of herpes lesions. The lesions appear as little red bumps that later turn into painful blisters. The exact size of these blisters can range from very small pimple-like spots to coin sized areas. The lesions form, then encrust, and finally heal without leaving behind any evidence of a scar.
The symptoms of genital herpes in women usually appear between 2 – 10 days after contracting the virus, and they might last for 2 – 3 weeks. After invading the mucous membrane and skin, the herpes virus moves to the sensory nerves located near the bottom of the spinal cord, where it remains inactive. The exact reason explaining its dormancy remains unclear; however, it's thought that the herpes virus waits for more favorable conditions such as a weakened immune system of the body. Under these conditions, the virus activates, then duplicates in the ganglia and moves along existing nerves heading towards the skin. Once the virus is at the skin, it multiplies, causing lesions to appear. The site is generally near or at the original virus lesion. This is the main reason that patients experience repetitive episodes of the herpes virus infection.
Natural Treatments for the Herpes Virus:
Wash the genital region with salt water at regular intervals. The water and salt mixture should be combined at a ratio of 1 teaspoon to salt t o 500 ml. of water.
- Add more vitamin C to your diet. This boosts immunity, which will strengthen the body to help fight against the herpes virus.
- Wearing cotton undergarment is advised. The cotton will ease any discomfort and help cure the herpes infection.
- Applying ice to the region and upon the genital sores. It will relieve the burning and itching sensation.
- You may use over the counter medicine such as paracetamol and aspirin to reduce the pain.
- To ease discomfort during urination, dilute the urine by drinking plenty of water.
The discomfort caused from the genital herpes virus can be managed using the above home remedies; however, a medical diagnosis will be necessary in order to receive proper treatment and obtaining permanent relief from the infection. An accurate diagnosis can be more easily attained during an active herpes virus infection, and preferably during the time that the first symptoms occur. The diagnosis involves a physical exam, a medical history search, and a swab test of the person infected. Sometimes there are no physical signs, symptoms, or discomfort experienced by the infected person. In these situations, a blood test will be necessary. The antibodies against the herpes virus will give an indication to the presence of genital herpes.

Fly fishing for wahoo

Fly fishing for wahoo
Theres been an unusual concentration of small wahoo in the Tongue Of The Ocean (TOTO) which gave us an opportunity to tweak up flyfishing skills for them.
Here is what worked:
Pull 3 dead baits (like ballyhoo) kind of far back short shotgun and long rigger positions. Fish will attack from below and typically go airborne. Somebody needs to watch the spread and immediately dump in a marker float and about ½ dozen fish halves. Not whole fish, and not more that ½ doz pieces or so. Loop back to the marker float while taking out the teaser lines. (if after meat, run dead baits with hooks in them; if not, just clip baits onto snap swivels.) When approaching the marker float, task the boat out of gear, cast to (both?) side(s), and make the fly look like a barely-alive front half of a baitfish. For every jumping jack, theres another 5 below the surface cruising and looking for bait cut in half. Strikes are hard, fast and the first run very fast. Keep the drag as loose as possible while preventing backlash. A 30 lber will take 100+ yds very fast when you sting it. After that its not much of a fight, but the first run is really spectacular. You can easily hook up 3 fly casters on a single pod of fish. Weve been using Howe tube fly look-alikes, just ~8 of sharkwire bite tippet and 6/0 single hooks. A 12 wt is perfect, just make sure the reel doesnt stick or overrun. Cork drags rule. Light and smooth drag is the key.
This is a surprisingly effective way to get lots of wahoo to the boat quickly. If the casters are on the ball, its just as effective as casting ballyhoo halves at them, and much more effective than trolling back over the marker float.

Vodafone has won a three-year contract to provide mobile and fixed-line services to Federated Farmers.
The partnership was announced at a Federated Farmers Christmas event last night.
Vodafone's general manager of sales Andrew Fairgray said the contract "strengthens Vodafone's commitment to the industry and rural strategy".
"This partnership allows Vodafone to tap into the heart of rural New Zealand and to provide best of breed technologies. By capturing insights from members we can further enhance the offering and value we provide.
"We're involved in innovative research, as well as in grassroots support in the regions through our rural ambassadors and rural relationship managers," he said.
Federated Farmers' CEO, Connor English said telecommunications were essential to rural communities.
"It's critical that New Zealand's rural communities have the best possible communications infrastructure. We advocated successfully for increased investment in rural broadband, greater competition and improved mobile phone coverage.
"We now want to see a sensible release of the digital dividend spectrum to ensure that our rural communities can participate fully in the advance of technology," English said.
