GM Tired of Ford's EcoBoost V6 Bragging, Touts More Efficient V8 for Silverado

GM bests Ford's EcoBoost V6 fuel efficiency without complex, expensive turbochargers
Ford has spent a great deal of time and money developing and marketing its EcoBoost family. The company makes a wide variety of EcoBoost engines (which is basically a fancy name for turbocharging plus direct injection) ranging from a
1.0-liter three-cylinder
to a
3.5-liter V6
Ford's efforts have paid off, as sales of the naturally aspirated V6- and EcoBoost V6-equipped F-150s have
outpaced those of the V8 models
. And all along the way, Ford has thumbed its nose at the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, stating how its EcoBoost V6 gets V8 performance and V6 fuel economy.
GM, however, is hitting back today with the announcement that its new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engines manages to produce 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. While the horsepower number compares favorably with the EcoBoost V6 in the F-150, it's down quite a bit in torque. GM says that in 4x2 trim, the EcoTec3 will be good for 23 mpg highway; checking off the 4x4 option box will result in 22 mpg on the highway.

Both of these numbers are 1 mpg better than the EcoBoost F-150. In fact, it matches the fuel economy of Ford's naturally aspirated, 3.7-liter V6.
"Silverado's available 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gives customers the best of both worlds," bragged Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for the Silverado. "Customers get the proven power and dependability of a V-8 truck engine, with better fuel economy than a leading competitor's smaller turbocharged V-6."

GM's decision to go the "tried and true" route may pay off in the end. Recent reports have suggested that while many manufacturers seem to ace the EPA's tests with turbocharged gasoline engines,
most consumers aren't able to match the sticker numbers in the real world

GM's fun in the mpg sun, however, likely won't last long. Ford is reportedly
looking to trim up to 700 pounds
from the next generation F-150, which will go a long way towards improving fuel efficiency. Ford showcased the use of active aero technology on its
Atlas truck concept
(which no doubt is a precursor to the next generation F-150), which boost highway fuel efficiency by 2 mpg.

The Gaillard Auditorium has seen many a glamorous affair, but rarely has the venue itself looked so fabulous as it did for Thursday evening's much-awaited Circle of Light Gala. The annual black tie fete moved from Marion Square to Gaillard this year, a change that left many returning attendees curious about event and its new Havana theme.
Event designer Tara Guerard absolutely transformed the Gaillard. Stepping over the threshold to the cocktail parlor felt like being transported to another world, or at least another country. Delicate white and green fabric draped the walls and ceiling, and vibrant bursts of yellow light gave the room an ethereal feel. Chic light fixtures and enormous hot pink blooms added an exotic feel, and dark wicker lounges and green tables beckoned guests from the bar area to the cocktail and after party stage area.
Partygoers found themselves torn between listening to the live Cuban beats and snagging savory bites from the Grill 225 servers. Miniature cuban sandwiches, citrus tuna towers, and petite portions of beans and rice helped whet everyone's appetites over cocktails, and soon guests were ushered into the dining room where the Charleston Jazz Orchestra Latin Ensemble continued the party with their swingin' sounds.
Everyone took their seat at their tables to a warm welcome from Darkness to Light, and each of the 13 respected master chefs began sending out their first course to their respective tables. Partygoers demolished the first course in time for an incredibly touching video regarding Darkness to Light's mission and cause, and servers rushed to deliver the main course as the live auction kicked off.
Savory gave way to sweet as an array of delectable treats issued forth from the kitchen, but all eyes were on a very special auction item: a snow white labrador puppy. The precious bundle of fluff set off multiple bidding wars and fetched a final bid of an impressive $6,500.
Then it was back to the entertainment tent and the dance floor, where Atlanta-based cover band The Maxx kicked off a rockin' after party.
Darkness to Light (D2L) works to end childhood sexual abuse through prevention, awareness, and education. The organization asserts that if sexual abuse can be prevented, it can be stopped, and the non-profit works to help adults recognize the signs of abuse and react responsibly. Today D2L has more than 2,500 trained Facilitators teaching their educational program in 48 states and 10 additional countries.

Mix: 1 cup ORIGINAL WHITE CRISCO SHORTENING, 1 cup sour cream, 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla
Add: 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1 ROUNDED tsp. baking soda and 4 LEVEL cups of flour.
I put down wax paper and sprinkle flour on top. Then I take a large handful of dough and work it together with my hands...then roll out to a good 1/4" thickness. This is thicker than most recipes call for. Spray cookie sheets with Pam and bake at 350 degrees for 11-12 minutes. Don't overbake.
FROSTING: 3-1/4 cups powdered sugar, 3 tbsp. ORIGINAL WHITE CRISCO SHORTENING, 4 tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla. This is the BEST frosting ever!!! When in a hurry, I buy prepared cake frosting, but tis is worth the effort! The recipe makes 34-39 cookies per batch, depending on size of cutter used.

Wind industry seeking still more special treatment in the form of unpunished eagle slayings
posted at 6:01 pm on September 6, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
The Obama administration has been most vociferous about their prerogative to exercise their 'prosecutorial discretion' in enforcing the laws of the land; drugs and immigration spring immediately to mind, but another very conspicuous example of their discriminate habits comes from the Department of Interior. The administration has very readily brought suits against energy companies in violation of the protected-species laws that influence so many of the United States' land-use policies, but rather mysteriously, none of these energy companies have been wind companies — which, considering that wind turbines kill hundreds of thousands of birds every year, feels like a disconnect, no?
Nope, not really. The Obama administration has made far too many high-roller "investments," to use the president's obnoxiously persistent and misleading term, in developing and supporting wind energy, and it simply wouldn't do to draw attention to the fact that wind actually isn't the seamlessly, perfectly, messianically green and clean form of energy that its many determined lobbyists and mindless supporters make it out to be (for so, so many reasons, ahem, but I'll stick to the rampant bird-murder for now).
But of course, when it comes to any type of rent-seeking, one special favor all too often leads to another. Via The Hill:
Wildlife advocates and proponents of wind energy visited the White House, meeting with the Obama administration over a regulation that would extend the length of permits that allow energy companies to unintentionally kill protected eagles.
Last week, representatives from four conservation organizations and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) got together with administration officials to talk about the rule, which is currently under review at the White House's regulations office. …
Every year, hundreds of thousands of birds are killed when they fly into wind turbines. It's unclear how many of them are bald and golden eagles, which are protected by federal law, but the Fish and Wildlife Service gives permits to projects with conservation plans that are nonetheless expected to unintentionally kill a small number of the eagles.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a regulation that would extend the length of those permits from five years to 30. …
Conservationists are worried that the extension would give wind farms too much of a license to kill protected birds and that researchers need to be allowed to develop better preservation methods.
Take, take, take, wind industry — I have few doubts that what started as a five year exemption will be extended, and then extended another time after that, and another after that…

Brotherly Love
"Buddies! Buddies! Buddies!" That is
what my brother and I would say to each other. We hoped
to go into business together and planned on being
roommates before marriage. It never happened. My only
brother, who was four years younger than me died of
cancer at age 15.
We didn't always have a perfect storybook relationship.
We had the typical "brother" arguments like whose turn
it was to use the remote control and blaming each other
whenever there was a mess in the house. However, we did
have many good times together which I will never forget.
When we first discovered Andrew had Cancer, my bags were
already packed for our ski trip to Colorado with our
father. Andrew noticed a bump on his hip, but thought it
was a bruise from playing baseball. After having this
"lump" looked at by a doctor, he said. we should cancel
the ski trip. I was so upset that our ski trip was
canceled. Then, a week later, I found out my brother had
cancer. At that point, I forgot all about the ski trip.
Being a caregiver for my brother was difficult because
sometimes it seemed like he might have been jealous that
I didn't have cancer. Sometimes he got upset with me
when I would just attempt to walk in the room. Also, I
was a little jealous of all the attention he was getting
since everyone in the family was caring for him.
Sometimes I even wished I could trade places with him,
so I would be the center of attention for a change.
Aggressively trying to find a cure for Andrew meant he
was moved from Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami,
Florida to M.D. Anderson in Houston, Texas. My mother
moved to Houston with Andrew. Since I was in college, I
stayed in Florida and was only able to visit Andrew a
few times in Houston.
When we were together Andrew and I would always talk
about baseball. He and I were both avid fans. I was
impressed when he received letters from outfielder Tim
Raines and a visit from San Diego's Ken Caminiti, then a
Houston Astro. It seems like sports figures have a
special place for in their hearts for kids who have
cancer. Even Mark Duper of the Miami Dolphins came to
see Andrew at home. They played Nintendo and Mark
watched as Andrew scored a touchdown as Duper on
Nintendo. Andrew was thrilled.

Student Summer Hicks (right) works with her Tomas Rivera Center adviser.
UTSA's Tomas Rivera Center helps freshman acclimate to college
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 24, 2009)--Access College and Excel (ACE) is a program in the UTSA Tomas Rivera Center for Student Success (TRC) that supports incoming freshman who will take all of their first-year classes at the Downtown Campus. The program is a pathway to retention that includes individual student advising and small learning communities, combined with continual mentoring and guidance.
A scholarship and retention program, ACE focuses on quality not quantity with the approach that smaller is better. The "access" in the program title accurately reflects the group -- the best and brightest graduating seniors from some of San Antonio's lowest performing high schools.
The ACE incoming freshman are students who graduated from inner city high schools including Edison, Fox Tech, Brackenridge, Highlands, Jefferson, Lanier, Kennedy, McCollum, Harlandale, Memorial and Sam Houston. The target population has large groups of minority students from low socioeconomic backgrounds who are typically first-generation college students.
From that target population, TRC staff members recruit students who stand out from their peers. ACE students are required to have a 2.5 or higher high school GPA, a 80-percent attendance record and have been involved in extracurricular activities. In fact, ACE students are more likely to return for their sophomore year and graduate from UTSA than a non ACE student. Sometimes, the challenges for staff are not getting these students involved but rather slowing them down a little.
"Our group is very ambitious," said Dionne Davila, ACE program coordinator. "They want to take the 15 and 18 hours their first semester. We tell them to focus on fewer classes, doing quality work and putting all of their energy in that instead of spreading themselves thin."
Davila said all ACE students are required to attend the UTSA Downtown Campus their first semester. They also take a freshmen seminar to help with time management, studying and test-taking, and where to find the resources they need to be successful. Additionally, the students are assigned to learning communities to help build a network of friends and familiarity throughout their first semester of college
"Our students come from smaller communities; their culture is close knit so they will thrive in that environment," said Davila. "The ACE community is anywhere from 25 to 50 students. They have the entire Tomas Rivera staff at their disposal so the resources they need are readily available."
Davila said some students want the experience of a big campus and many of her students eventually transfer to the Main Campus. But, for those who are not quite ready, the ACE program helps with that transition.
"I had originally wanted to go to the UTSA Main Campus but it was a lot bigger than what I expected, said Summer Hicks, an entering ACE student from Brackenridge High School. "But, the Downtown Campus was a little more comfortable because it was a smaller community. I ran into people that I went to high school with, so I felt a little bit more at home."
Another new ACE student is Elizabeth Ehrlich from Thomas Jefferson High School. She always wanted to go to college, but the fear of the unknown worried her. As the first person in her family to attend college, Ehrlich felt the pressure begin to build. That's when she inquired about the ACE program.
"I love how there are so many options here, and everybody is helping me out," said Ehrlich. "I feel less pressured knowing that someone at UTSA is supporting me, along with my family."

Hasbro is going to be at conventions this year, and at some of them we're hoping to get one-on-one interview time. The first one coming up is New York Toy Fair on February 9th - with Toy Fair, there's not much chance we'll get any interview time, but just in case, we thought we'd open up the forum to submit questions here. If we don't get Q&A time at Toy Fair, we'll save the questions for the next opportunity which will probably be SDCC in July.
Voting is not needed as the questions will be chosen on an editorial basis, but feel free to voice any support for an existing question.
Unless an item is already confirmed by Hasbro, we definitely won't be asking questions about specific items. Also, please keep in mind that we'll be asking these in person, so keep questions respectful and reasonable.
Go ahead and voice support for these questions, and suggest your own:
- - The 2013 Class II vehicle line is using all new tooling and going in a simpler direction, but is there still a chance of seeing more vehicles in the original, more detailed Class II style – perhaps as newly tooled exclusives or even as reissues from the vast tooling library you already have, as is currently being done for larger vehicles like the Republic Gunship and Slave I?
- - Speaking of vehicle re-releases, the Naboo Fighter is a great one that many collectors missed due to the first wave of vehicles not selling well last year and the case being expensive and rare online. It's been appearing sporadically at discount stores, but might we still see it pop up somewhere in greater numbers, either as existing stock or a new run? It's too large for the new Class II line, but could it be repacked as an exclusive?
- - So far the new Class II line has only consisted of resculpts of existing vehicles, but will we see any never-before-made ships there as well?
- - With no new releases since the first wave in Spring, is the Class I line with two figures essentially dead?
- - Even though we're getting some fairly sizable ships as exclusives, the repainted Slave I and AT-AT are the only large-size vehicles coming this year. Does the big vehicle line still have a future in new molds? It was said that the MTT's performance could determine what comes next - did it have any effect, positive or negative?
- - The Clone Wars animated figure line and TV series are both more or less finished. What are the chances of continuing to see new characters done in the realistic style - either 3.75" Black Series or Saga Legends/Misson Series - or more vehicles from the series? So far, the realistic Clone Wars figures have been of characters that have already had several animated figures, but could the realistic lines be an outlet for new characters and designs, such as the Pong Krell and spider-Maul figures that were mentioned in previous Q&A sessions?
- - With Star Wars Rebels premiering a little over a year from now, we won't ask details on tie-in products, but if you do decide to make figures for the show, has any thought been given as to whether the figures will be in the animated or realistic style? Will you be making this decision based on how well The Clone Wars animated figures performed, or is this something Lucasfilm and Disney will decide?
- - The presumably-still-upcoming Mara Jade figure is wearing the same catsuit that has been made as a figure twice previously – and it looks like a fine figure in and of itself – but the Fans' Choice poll had an image of her wearing her green Jedi outfit, so that look is probably what many fans believed they were picking when they voted. Why was the choice made to make yet another version of this outfit as opposed to the one featured in the poll? Can we expect to see a figure in her green Jedi outfit?
- - Late last year and earlier this year, several Movie Heroes and Clone Wars figures - including light-up Anakin and Sandtrooper, the blast-apart Battle Droids, etc. - were revealed and released internationally but not in the US. The Yoda-card figures have been made available by online retailers, but grappling-hook-jetpack Boba Fett and the tan exploding Battle Droid remain very scarce. Is there any plan to release any of them specifically to the US market?
- - Why is the eye on the top back of astromech heads almost always being done wrong as it is on the 6" R2 figure, so it sticks straight up instead of angled back?
- - Why do you use that chiffon/gossamer translucent black fabric for Darth Vader figures' cloaks and kama skirts when the Vintage Collection Sidious has a much nicer opaque black fabric for his robes and kama skirt?
- - Some collectors are worried that the new 6" line will cannibalize resources that otherwise would have gone into making high-quality, super-articulated 3.75" figures. Is that going to be the case, or will collectors who have invested almost 18 years into collecting the 3.75" line and are NOT interested in starting again with a newly scaled line still have something to look forward to with the 3.75" Black Series?
- - The initial plan for the first half of 2013 was to re-release hard-to-find 2012 figures from The Vintage Collection. It seems like a few more cases made it out, but were still few and far between, with many stores not stocking any more Vintage figures at all. So was this plan shelved or scaled back? You've said there won't be any straight repacks in The Black Series, but will we still be seeing more of the hard-to-find Vintage figures somehow?
- - It's obviously too early to talk about the new films, but Disney has said that the new trilogy will take place after Return of the Jedi. Assuming that existing post-ROTJ expanded universe material isn't used in the new films, would the new films lower the likelihood of seeing figures from the existing post-ROTJ expanded universe, similar to how the Clone Wars micro-series material has been largely ignored in favor of the CGI series per Lucasfilm's request?
- - We know that the Build-A-Droid line was cancelled since it would have been too expensive to include the droid parts without raising the price, but at what point in the development process did you know – or feel in your gut – that the new Build-A-Droid line was going to be canceled? What point in the process did it seem like things were going against it? Was there a single event that precipitated the line's cancellation?
- - How long before the public announcement did you know that the 3D re-releases of Episodes II and III weren't going to happen this year? Obviously the line is still very heavy on the Episode II and III items this year, but did that cause you to have to change the line much, or were you already planning on scaling back after Episode I didn't do as well as you hoped?
- - The Skylanders franchise has been surprisingly popular, and now we see that this kind of interactivity is coming to Star Wars with Angry Birds Telepods. You've focused on online gameplay previously and to a lesser degree with the web component for Fighter Pods, but is this level of figure-game interactivity something that you could possibly see expanding beyond Angry Birds, perhaps even to basic figures?
- - The upcoming 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper figure is missing several paint applications - the shoulders, hands, midsection, belt, and lower legs should all be gray, not white. Both previous versions of this clone have gotten these correct. Will this be fixed?
- - TIE Pilot Backstabber was first shown last year, and we realized that the deco was incorrect - his helmet should have two Imperial logos, even though a shadow does briefly cover up the one on his right side, leading some to think that he only has one Imperial logo. Now that he's scheduled for release, will this issue be addressed?
- - Are there any plans to release an Orray, the beast that carries the execution cart in Episode II? Were there plans for items like this that were intended for the 3D releases but had to be scrapped when the 3D releases were cancelled, and might they still make it out?
- - Will there be a street date for the Black Series or any other line this Fall?
Thanks for participating!

- Description
This is the west coast of Santorini, a tiny island in the Aegean Sea with rich history and steeped myth.
This gigapan shows the unusual rock formations of the islands' rocky steep terrain on the caldera side from volcanic rock, pumice stone. On the top of the rock situates a white string of unique cave houses, mansions, churches and other roof structures.
Please check the zig-zag winding path from the bottom to the top, on which a donkeyback riding is the 2nd exciting thing to do here for many tourists, gigapaning being the 1st one.
On one side of the riding pad of a donkey back it says "Health Care Reform" and the other side says "Finance Reform".

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Todd Ripley
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Ryan-why don't you take your lawyer out to OP with you? I'm certainly not planning on doing much out of the boat this spring out there, I get enough bumper cars at the Seattle Center and on I-5. I'll be fishing the little gems.
See you next Wednesday at the meeting.

RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
You can go above the chaos and find some nice cutts also. That burger does sound good.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Het Kerry, can you spell estuary! With a burger break at the Edison Tavern thrown in.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Thanks Kush,
Because of the short distance and travel time we will likely give the Vedder a try. The promise of no gun play is definitely a bonus. I have never seen a weapon produced while fishing. I do know that at least a few boats on the Skagit are armed and likely a few of the bank anglers too.
We have a small river close by that has a decent king run in late summer. One of the last places to fish for kings, this small river attracts a less than desirable crowd. I have found ways to fish that removes me from the masses although I visit this river less and less each year. Perhaps for the same reasons you have for spending less time at the Vedder. At the very least it is sometimes entertaining to watch what I term combat fishing. And yes true combat does occur on the rare occasion. The real sadness comes when the crowds leave and leave their mess also. In time the river will be closed to fishing because of the mess and the unethical techniques employed to catch fish. I fail to understand the mentality that has to catch fish at any cost.
Thanks again,
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Is it worth it to try the Vedder? A tough question in some ways. There is a fair amount of good fly water and there are definitely lots of fish, however as I previously pointed out the quality of the experience is definitely suspect! While I know some fly guys who regularly fish the Vedder through the winter they tend to live fairly close to the river and normally limit their fishing to short prime time excursions to pet holes ( as well, I don't think any self respecting fisherman could take a WHOLE day at that zoo!). While I only live 15 minutes closer to the river than you do I did grow up fishing the Vedder, but I now average about 3 hours a year fishing it - I just can't stand the "new" ethic that exists there.
As for the Fly-Only season in May, this often sounds better than it really is. This is due primarily to the common run-off pattern that sees the river go out very early in May often negating the so-called 2nd season. In those years that the vagarities of run-off leave the river fishable it can be wonderful, the pressure is low, there are significant numbers of fish and it is a beautiful river. So like I said, I will just wait and see. If YOU can't wait, by all means come on up and experience some Canadian hospitality - "Vedder-style" - though fist-fights have been known to happen at least you won't see or need guns!
Tight lines - tyler.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Don't count me out yet either.
Ryan - I'm no bodyguard but maybe I can yell a few karate words (about all I'm good for) while we figure out a hasty exit!
Too bad about the way people flame up like that. If Syd was still around in Forks, he'd tell us kids to shake hands!
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Hey Ryan,
There are a lot of hot tempers on the OP - make judgements first and ask questions later!! A well-known fly guide (no longer on the OP from what Bob tells me) used to pack a 45 automatic on his hip while on the river.
Anyway, it sounds like your friends have the right idea - once they talk to him your car/truck's projected lifespan will increase considerably!
Good luck on the Hoko - if I can get a few days off, you might just run into me up there.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Ahh yes, "The Incident."
At the infamous NWFishing.com BB, frequently visited by Jim Mansfield and Guy Ruble, two bonk 'em, fillet 'em, all the better if they are natives type guides. In fact Jim Mansfield writes a column for NWFishing.com and promotes his guide service off the site.
Anyways, someone posted that he had spend some time in jail for robbery, whether this is true or not, I dont know.
I was named as the poster because the IP was traced to the UW, where I attend.
Jim then posted many times that he was going to send all his lawyers after me and that I had better apologize, etc. etc. etc. He also said that the next time I visit Forks, "we need to sit down for coffee." Jim is a big grumpy mean born and raised Forks local yocal.
I was described as a young punk kid and well there are not many young punk kids that fish. My recently bleached hair does not help me either.
So now you can see why I am a little nervous about making a trip out to Forks. Jimmy has a following out there and Im sure they all know the name "Ryan S. Petzold" by now. God knows I am bringing alot of cash on my trip out there.
Things are looking up as of tonight, though. A couple of good customers of ours at Teds fish with Jimmy all the time. They promised me that when they fish with him in two weeks they would tell him "Im not a bad guy" and that I would never do anything like that.
I can not wait for Spring Break and if anyone would like to do some exploring of the Upper Hoko, you are free to join me.
...and I did not hit any fish yesterday on the North Fork. The lower river is as clear as I have ever seen it, including summer, but it will be closed.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Hey Kush,
The Vedder is only about a hour and a half drive from home. I have never been there. A good friend and I thought, for the short drive, it might be worth a shot. From what I hear you say we should stay home until the fly season starts. This true?
Ryan can explain "The Incident" to you. I find it somewhat humorous. He might not.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
The Vedder sounds like the BC version of the Cowlitz!
So, I went looking around to read about this "incident" and couldn't find it - care to fill me in please? My curiosity's got me on this one.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Did I hear Vedder? The Vedder?!!! Be serious please. If you want to find bubbas and mouth-breathers - Canadian style - go for it. While there are lots of fish, including large "1st generation" hatchery fish the number of gear fishing bozos is mind boggling. While there are a number of ethical classy gear guys up here in Canada even THEY do not like to fish the Vedder. Hordes of hip-booted speed bumps line the runs, they do not move and think that 10 feet of space on either side of a fly guy is plenty of room. As well, the mouth breathers have learned to transfer knowledge (yes as unlikley as it seems) from the the Fraser River sockeye-flossing gong show and large sectors of the Vedder are repleat with these "sportsmen" flossing for steelhead! This is not my idea of a quality experience.
Having said this, maybe the run-off will not be bad and the river will remain fishable during the May fly-only season! We will just have to wait.
Tight lines - tyler.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
I know that incident. I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Some have to much time on thier hands. You probably read my last post........"nobody cares". I would head over to the pen with you at any time. And if you would feel safer I know a guy that goes about 6'5", around 240 and is slightly crazy if you know what I mean. He lives life large and is a good fly fisherman.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Thank God for the Vedder.
A shorter drive then the Coast and God knows I am not heading over to Forks without a gun and really big buddy after one certain little incident.
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Fished the Skagit hard both Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday we put in at Hamilton and fished the middle section for about 8 hours. River was very silty from the Baker. Heard of one fish taken.
Sunday, put in at Concrete and fished the river from Sauk bar down to S&L. Nothing. Baker river pouring more crap into the Skagit making the middle and lower river unfishable. Three of us pounded the river for over 10 hours. Both arms are sore today.
The end of a good year. I caught the biggest steelhead of my life this year. No complaints.
Heading north to BC. First, the Vedder. Then?
RE:Cascade Season Winding down...
Well Juro my spring break begins around the 15th of March. If I can get away, you know where I will be.
I want to spend half the time on the Upper Hoko fishing a river I have wanted to fish for years. The next half will be spent on the Queets and the Clearwater. Hopefully I will get some fishies, learn some new water and have one hell of a spring break. The typical college kid get drunk and party 24/7 just does not sound very appealing to me.
Hope to see this March, maybe we can fish a day or two?

text: Quick question. When my pup was young and had an understanding of sit/stay I used to make him stay for 5-10 mins to teach him patience before moving on to our lesson for the day. It calmed and focused him so he was ready. This fall we have only hunted upland and because of his high puppy energy levels I probably won't get him out for a waterfowl hunt this fall - at least not a very long one. However, I have a feeling when I do he will struggle with sitting still and being quiet. What does everyone do to prepare a dog for sitting in a blind for an hour or 2? Should I go back to placing him on a sit and extend the periods of time he sits there? What is your plan of action in preparing a pup for the blind.

Get ready for the "wow factor" when you bring out this beautiful dessert. Looks like it took hours to make, but you can be busy with other things while it's baking and chilling.
Look for chocolate cookie crumbs in the grocery store's baking aisle. Or purchase chocolate wafers and process them in a food processor to form coarse crumbs. Wafers may also be crushed in a food storage plastic bag—crush them with a rolling pin.
To make ahead, bake the cheesecake; cool and glaze. Freeze it until the glaze is set. Wrap tightly and freeze it for up to 1 month. Before serving, unwrap and thaw it in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.

Posted October 19, 2005; 10:10 p.m.
International affairs scholars will gather for a panel discussion on the influence of British historian E.H. Carr's book, "The 20 Years' Crisis, 1919-1939," at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, in 1 Robertson Hall.
Carr's book, which traces events leading up to World War II, is considered a pioneering work in the field of international relations. The panel discussion marks the 60th anniversary of its publication.
Three Princeton faculty members will participate in the discussion: Thomas Christensen, professor of politics and public and international affairs; Harold James, professor of history; and John Ikenberry, the Albert Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs. They will be joined by Michael Cox, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics.

A lot of the comments above are good. I never used a man made marker on the PB's. Instead I used a large tree(s), a bushy cedar, and the corner of a cornfield (ok that might qualify as manmade). I will return to pattern blinds and use something bright.
This time change will put a real damper on our evening work.

J. Rick Turner, PhD
Outgoing Editor-in-Chief
On behalf of everyone at DIA and also at SAGE Publications, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural issue of Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science. (You will note that, since it remains the official journal of DIA, the volume number follows sequentially from that of last year's Drug Information Journal.)
In keeping with our goals of representing all geographic regions in which DIA is active, this issue of the journal contains 3 commentaries with ties to activities in Asia. Dr. Alberto Grignolo has provided a commentary entitled "Collaboration and Convergence: Bringing New Medicines to Global Markets in the 21st Century."1 It is based on a Keynote Address he gave in May 2012 at the 4th DIA China Annual Meeting, held in Shanghai. Taking a global perspective, Dr. Grignolo discusses ''intelligent innovation" in the biopharmaceutical industry, an approach that is now needed to address higher hurdles in regulatory and pricing/reimbursement landscapes. Among other topics, he also discusses "the emergence of regulatory convergence" and summarizes convergence initiatives that span the globe.
In her commentary entitled "Regulatory Reforms in India,"2 Ms. Deepti Sanghavi discusses how, as a result of adverse publicity concerning the conduct of clinical trials in the country, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization has taken various steps to streamline regulations and ensure the accountability of stakeholders in biopharmaceutical clinical research. One aspect of the commentary addresses "quantum of compensation" in cases where clinical trial participants experience adverse events and serious adverse events. Another addresses the registration of clinical trials (applicable for surgical procedures, medical devices, behavioral treatment, and other interventions as well as for biopharmaceutical treatment), contract research organizations, and ethics committees.
Five colleagues from the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) have provided a commentary entitled "The Roles of Regulatory Science Research in Drug Development at the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, Japan."3 Following a 2011 paper communicating PMDA's view on regulatory science,4 this commentary presents an update on the agency's regulatory science research activity and its roles in the drug regulatory framework. It discusses, for example, the importance of benefit-risk assessment throughout a drug's lifecycle. As the Institute of Medicine noted, "The [marketing] approval decision does not represent a singular moment of clarity about the risks and benefits associated with a drug—preapproval clinical trials do not obviate continuing formal evaluations after approval."5 The PMDA has long-established re-examination and re-evaluation systems that contribute importantly to continuously ensuring that a marketed drug has a favorable benefit-risk balance.
My thanks to all authors for providing these instructive commentaries, and I am sure all readers will find them very interesting. Contributions from additional global regions will appear in future issues of the journal.
This is my last Editor-in-Chief's commentary. It has been a privilege and pleasure to serve the journal, DIA, authors, and readers in this capacity. Until the incoming Editor-in-Chief takes the reins, former DIA President Dr. Richard Day is serving as Interim Editor-in-Chief; the journal will therefore be in good hands in this part of the transition period. I will remain actively involved in various DIA pursuits, and I wish Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science tremendous success.

Proposed sale of downtown emergency services building hits new snag
The proposed sale of Steamboat Springs' downtown public safety building could be delayed by more than a year because the city has learned it will cost a lot more than originally thought to temporarily house its police force in the Iron Horse Inn.

Citi is sticking with its bullish bet on the high-yield market even after junk bonds are already up 5.5% this year. Citi entered 2013 expecting roughly 7% market returns, based on a lack of new bond supply compared to fund inflows, ongoing central bank accommodation and a paucity of yield in higher-quality assets. Citi and says "at this point we see no reason to change our view." More from Citi:
The bullish call was not bullish enough. High yield returns are over 5% and only a few months of carry away from our 7% call. Loan returns are above 3%, also not far from our 2013 forecast of 5%. We believe both forecasts will prove too low and high yield returns in 2013 could approach 9%. Loans, on the other hand, have little price upside left and are experiencing major repricing pressure. Therefore we believe our original 5% forecast will only prove a little short.
Citi says it still favors lower-rated junk bonds with 5- to 8-year maturities and prefers bonds over loans. Citi says short duration bonds "should still produce modest and stable returns" but "we believe they have rallied too far to keep pace in a steady or rallying market."

Vitamin B12 is found in most foods of animal origin. Therefore, if your doctor tells you that you need to eat more of it, you will have many foods to choose from. If you are a total vegetarian, you can still meet your needs, but you will need to take supplements or eat B12-fortified foods.
Vitamin B12 works with folate to make red blood cells. Some types of anemia are associated with a low vitamin B12 intake.
Your nervous system also needs vitamin B12 to function properly. Low levels of vitamin B12 can lead to memory impairment or depression. Also, if vitamin B12 levels get too low, you can develop numbness and tingling in your hands and feet.
There are many food sources of vitamin B12, as outlined in the table below. However, some people may consume enough of this vitamin, but not be able to absorb it all. This tends to occur as part of aging. Your body may not be able to absorb vitamin B12 as well as when you were younger. Although some older adults may not be able to easily absorb naturally occurring vitamin B12, most can absorb the crystalline form found in foods fortified with the vitamin. Certain medications, especially those that lower stomach acid, may also interfere with B12 absorption from food. Discuss this with your doctor. In some cases, you may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.
Usable vitamin B12 is only found in animal products. Seaweed, algae, and spirulina contain vitamin B12, but in a form that cannot be well absorbed by the body. Fermented plant foods, such as tempeh and miso, are often said to contain vitamin B12. But, they actually contain virtually no measurable level of the vitamin.
If you are a vegan, someone who does not eat eggs or dairy products, you will need to eat foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take supplements. Commonly fortified foods include nutritional yeast, some breakfast cereals, soy milk products, and vegetarian burgers. Check the Nutrition Facts label on these foods for the amount of vitamin B12 they contain.

Thankfully, we have a better-than-average TV weather guy who's really into space stuff. He always lets the viewers know of events like the above. He's given us "heads-ups" on meteor showers, the occaisional comet, and even idirum flares (reflection for the solar panels of iridium communications satellites...a cheap thrill, granted, but still cool to track and watch happen).
If it weren't for the smoke, the shuttle/space station would have been easily visible in the Valley last night.

Possible Tank Mates?
Right now I have a 100 gallon aquarium. It is mostly a community tank for now. I say for now because I also have a Ropefish and a tiger shovelnose until they get big enough to cause problems, in which case the other fish will be moved to the girlfriends community aquarium. I have been seeing some Striped raphael cats around and I'm curious how one would work out with my shovelnose. He is still quite small and wouldn't pose a threat to the raph, I'm more worried about my shovelnose getting injured. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MSHA orders Lucky Friday closure
Mine shutdown will mean workforce reduction of 200 personnel
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Mine Safety and Health Administration has ordered Hecla's Lucky Friday Mine to close down after federal safety inspectors determined that material must be removed from the main silver shaft.
Hecla estimates the mine will be shut down for a year.
The news of Lucky Friday's shutdown caused Hecla's stock price to tumble on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday, losing a quarter of its value to fall to around $4.40 a share.
In a media release Wednesday morning, Hecla Mining Company said that the removal of the material built up in the shaft comes in the wake of the December 14 rock burst. Seven miners were injured in that incident.
MSHA inspected the mine after the rock burst and issued a citation regarding the Silver Shaft buildups. Hecla removed what it thought was the lose material. MSHA then reinspected the mined and ordered a cleanup from the top to the bottom of the Silver Shaft.
?While we are disappointed with this order and are considering what action we might take, work has already begun to resume production as quickly as possible,? said Phil Baker, Hecla?s President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Silver Shaft, commissioned in 1983, is one mile deep and is the primary access for the Lucky Friday Mine, Hecla reported. The materials built up in the mine, a combination of sand and concrete, will be removed from the mine by power washing. As a result of the closure to conduct maintenance on the mine, all work on the mine, including construction on the #4 Shaft, has been put on hold.
Baker estimates it will take at least $20 Million to clean up the Silver Shaft.
Hecla says that production in the Lucky Friday isn't expected to resume until 2013. The shutdown represents a major blow to Hecla, as the Lucky Friday produces 25-percent of its total annual silver output.
During an investor call Wednesday morning Baker fielded questions about whether the tumbling stock price made the company vulnerable to a buyout. Baker told investors that the company was solvent enough to weather the Lucky Friday shutdown.
Mike Maehl, a Spokane financial advisor for Seattle-based Opus 111 Group, said that he wasn't surprised by the sudden drop in Hecla's stock price on the New York Stock Exchange, but estimated that the stock won't likely tumble any further since Hecla has other operating units that are continuing production.
Maehl added that the shutdown of the Lucky Friday won't impact silver prices overall because the closure, while having an impact on Hecla's output, isn't a significant factor on the world market.
Silver was trading Wednesday at $30 an ounce.
Baker confirmed the shutdown would result in a workforce reduction of 185 Hecla personnel and 50 to 100 contract personnel. Earlier reports indicated that a total of 200 personnel would be laid off. Baker added that after the cleanup of the Silver Shaft he hoped that all personnel being laid off by the closure could return to work at the mine.
Baker added during the investor call that after a string of incidents over the last year at Lucky Friday, including two fatal incidents that resulted in the deaths of two miners, Hecla would be adding more safety personnel to the mine.

Joslyn Green (right), First Farmers Personal Banker in Delavan, presents a check to Charles Ostrom to benefit the ESDA.
Small things can make a difference.
Donations of food and money by customers and employees of First Farmers State Bank have helped local food pantries this past holiday season.
Each First Farmers bank location designated a food pantry to receive donations they collected, and items were accepted at the bank from mid-November until mid-December. Donations collected in Delavan were donated to the Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA). The Minier branch selected the Minier Food Pantry, and the Bloomington branch chose to donate to the Clare House Food Pantry in Bloomington.
The bank held two jeans day fundraisers in November and December and invited customers to participate if they wanted. Thank you to the kindness and generosity of the employees and customers who contributed money and food items to this worthy cause. Your kindness helped us help others!

That is a great color to backdrop all your projects! You could cyle through quilts every week if you wanted to...put a quilt hanger on the wall and just keep switching them out. I need to do something like that!

I love it! And what a great idea to paint all of those magazine holders so they match...I've got so many mismatched holders that I think I should paint them too!
