ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is mulling to decrease the widening deficit of electricity and gas distribution in a bid to control the circular debt, which can badly hurt the entire economy of the country if not stopped immediately, said sources on Friday.
Sources in the power sector informed Pakistan Today that the government is considering various options to get rid of the menace of circular debt. In this regard, they added, the government is considering to reduce the increasing deficit of electricity and gas distribution, as these two main sectors of energy are causing persistent increase in the circular debt.
The outstanding amount of circular debt (including that parked in power holding company) has swelled to a monstrous level of Rs1.2 trillion, sources said.
Sharing details of measures being considered by the PTI government, the sources said that the immediate goal of the government is to stop the further build-up of circular debt. They said short, medium and long-term strategies are under consideration and likely to be pursued by the government as these strategies can yield significant positive results.
They said the government is mulling to maximise the generation from National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) network by shifting the industry operating captive power plants to the national grid and by increasing the supply of electricity from NTDC to K-Electric.
Sources said that the NTDC system generated around 121 billion units in 2018. Out of the 121 billion units, nearly 100 billion units were billed to the consumers. There is a need to substantially increase the generation of NTDC network so that the mammoth and growing amounts of capacity payments are divided over a large number of units to avoid a huge increase in consumer tariffs, sources added.
It has been learnt that the PTI government may revise natural gas tariffs, especially for industry and power generation sectors, while it is likely that the government might stop natural gas-based power plants that have the thermal efficiency rates of 40 per cent.
Sources said a significant part of the industrial sector's electricity needs are met by self-generation i.e., captive power plant running primarily on natural gas. They also said as the industrial gas tariff has been kept very low, a lot of inefficient capacity power plants have continued to produce electricity at costs lower than grid electricity tariffs.
Inefficient power plants waste precious natural gas which increases the need for energy imports, thereby burdening the external account, sources said.
Sources in energy ministry said that K-Electric's 1,200MW old Bin-Qasim Power Plant has a very low thermal efficiency (around 31 per cent). They said all inefficient power plants run by KE should be immediately shut down, adding that any shortfall in KE's system can be easily met by surplus capacity available in the NTDC at a lower cost.
"This shall be a win-win-win situation for KE, NTDC and the government, while a part of the natural gas freed from captive power and KE can be supplied to the shutdown fertilizer plants to meet domestic urea shortage," sources added.
Officials at the power division said the shutdown of oil-based power generation due to the commissioning of largescale capacities based on RLNG, coal and hydro sources might disrupt the entire energy supply chain and can create a bigger economic crisis. They said about 3.0 million tonnes of furnace oil is produced annually by local refineries. However, the absence in demand of furnace oil will cause lower refinery rates and even shutdowns.
"This shall not only cause shortages of transportation and aviation fuels (diesel, petrol and jet fuel) but also result in the decline in local oil production," said officials.

We're continuing with our customizable Whole Farm baskets this week, again with two options. Choose from an eggs and greens basket or an all-veggie basket that includes your choice of two greens plus 1 lb of hakurei turnips and a bundle of radishes. For either basket, greens to choose from this week include collards (chopped or whole), spinach, salad medley lettuce, pea shoots, or Swiss chard.
It's not often that we go into crisis mode on the farm. Really, what could happen? Quick, go block the gate, the lettuce is escaping! Nah, not gonna happen. However, Saturday after lunch we launched immediately into crisis management. Headed out to the barn, I noticed an extraordinary amount of buzzing. I've been around bees enough to know what they sound like, including lots of variations: single bee flying around, bee in my hair (this one triggers my panic button), angry bees flying at my veil during a hive inspection, etc. So I knew what I was hearing was honey bees. A LOT of bees. But where? Why? Oh… look over on the fence, it's a swarm of bees. And thus began crisis response.
I've read about bee swarms and know why they happen. Swarms are how bee colonies reproduce themselves, and they're most likely to occur in the spring when resources are abundant, especially pollen. The old queen takes off with usually more than half of her worker bees, and they land somewhere near the hive they just vacated. From there, scout bees venture off in all directions, looking for a suitable new home. Once located, the whole swarm will make a beeline to it in minutes, at which point there's usually no way of recovering the bees. Knowing that their final flight homeward could happen at any moment was what put some urgency into our day.
The one good thing about bee swarms is they're totally docile. A mass of bees that big would otherwise be frightening. While they're swarmed up, they don't have anything to defend – no honey, no home, no brood. Plus, they gorged themselves on honey before leaving the old hive; not knowing how long their scouting mission would last, they ensured they had full bellies before leaving home. This apparently also makes them too fat to bend their bodies to get their stinger into you.
The first problem in dealing with the swarm is what to give them as a new home. Bee hives are made of various layers: a hive stand, a bottom board, brood hives of various depths, honey supers, and inner and outer covers. Of those components, we had one, a medium super. After some emergency carpentry, and some innovation and repurposing, we cobbled together what we thought would pass as a temporary hive. It'd be up to the bees to decide if it was suitable.
We suited up, in spite of knowing how calm the bees were supposed to be. Better safe than stung, in this case. We then positioned the plywood base and our spare medium super underneath the swarm and scooped them into the super. The main issue here was whether we'd gotten the queen into the new hive. Without her, none of the other bees would accept this as a new home. However, bees do something totally cool that lets you know the queen is in the new hive: they will face the hive, stick their little bee tails straight in the air, and fan their wings like crazy. This sends the queen's pheromones out into the world to let other bees know it's ok to enter.
Most of the bees in place, tails skyward, we stuck the whole get up in the bed of a truck and drove this crazy hive down to where we'd less than two weeks ago put this year's new hives. A quick check on them today indicates that they seem to have accepted our makeshift hive as a new home. So now we have three hungry hives to feed!
In other farm news, our 3-week-old chicks were moved outside this weekend. They still have their heat lamp to keep them warm at night, but their little world got a whole lot bigger, and they seem to be enjoying stretching their legs and wings a bit more.
Also, beets and kale should soon be ready for harvest, with snow peas not too far behind!

There are a couple of songs of Cledus T. Judd's new CD that are not funny because they're not supposed to be. "Leave You Laughin'" is Cledus taking himself seriously enough to actually prepare a mission statement. "Don't Mess With America" is a flag-waving nose-thumbing at bin Laden that rhymes "God bless every (F-15) we've sent" with "Thank goodness Bush is our president."
Then there's one song ("Just Another Day in Parodies") that's not funny because it's so self-referential that nobody but Weird Al Yankovic could relate to it, "Willie's Got a Big Deck" a track that - like the title of this album - is a lot racier (and less clever) than we've come to expect from Cledus, and at least one tune ("Let's Shoot Dove") that strays so far from its source material it can hardly be considered a parody. Amidst all these duds there are a few undeniable M-80s. The "I can smell your breath" reworking of Faith Hill's "I can hear you breathe" is a Mad-Magazine-quality spoof. "My Voice (Matured)" offers a glimpse of what fate may have in store for a post-pubescent Billy Gilman. "It's a Great Day to be a Guy" and "Man of Constant Borrow" are chuckleworthy.
All in all, this CD is not something to envy unless you are really into inconsistency.

Charitable Remainder Trusts Considerationsadmin - 2014/02/19
Why Size Matters
A primary objective in establishing and operating any CRT is to ensure the CRT will have enough money to make the required payments to its life income beneficiary(ies) each year throughout the trust term. Even with a low payout rate, in any given year trust income may fall short of the amount that needs to be paid. Unless the CRT is a charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT) with a net-income limitation, the CRT will have to make up the difference by drawing on principal.

Simple tips to keep pollens at bay
Keeping the windows closed, showering and washing your hair before bed and keeping your clothes outside the bedroom can all help. Follow our tips for hay fever as they offer suggestions of how to reduce your pollen exposure. It can also help to eliminate certain foods while pollens are present. Please click here to find out which foods cross react with which pollens.
Some people find an ioniser helps, or an air purifier. We would start with the use of the allergy sprays to denature pollens in the air, on furnishings and in the laundry and possibly keep an air purifier running in your bedroom. Symptoms can worsen in the early hours due to a pollen shower.

My bathing suit challenges are the same as yours – I need a bigger top to cover my chest, but smaller bottoms. It's such a pain!

Absolutely gorgeous shots, love this swimsuit, it's such a fun print!! I agree with buying suits that work for you in multiple colours, thats definitely what i do.
I have a very small bust and a lot of the tops make me look like a 12 year old boy, so finding something with some shape or a bit of a cup can be a challenge.
You have an amazing body. I have to buy different size tops and bottoms as well but mine in reverse. I have a booty but no boobs lol I always ate going swim suit shopping…but every year I always manage to buy a new one. Anyway love the print of this swim suit!
Wow you're seriously so gorgeous and you have such a great figure! Love that swimsuit, the colours are gorgeous! I also always have to buy different sizes for my top/bottom – my hips are on the curvy side haha!
That suit is fantastic, your body (especially those legs) is endlessly gorgeous and you so beautiful.
this looks amazing, that top fits very well and you have a great body. the perfect athletic and toned build with curves!

Good Knowledge of Sourcing Raw Material
The main cost involved in any product is the cost of raw material. In total cost, almost 50 to 70 % of the cost is involved in the raw material. Sourcing raw material at cheap prices with better quality can reduce the cost of the final product. If the wrong raw material is sourced company may face a huge loss, so having good knowledge of raw material (sourcing) Is important.
Mathematics Knowledge
Basic maths knowledge is important to conduct essential merchandising activities like costing, calculation of product cost, calculation involved in processes, etc.
Email Writing
The best way to communicate with the buyer and with other department is email writing. Most of the approvals are taken on e-mail only. email writing is done by professional people in industries, companies, etc. where sending of documents, product details, and other stuff from buyer to merchandiser and from merchandiser to the buyer on basis of which orders are placed. Good e-mail can make a different impact so merchandiser should know how to write email effectively.
Decision Making Skills
Merchandiser is one of an important department of any organization. Strong analyze and study of sales and making decisions which increase sales, making an instant decision for any problem to get solved is very important. Taking decision for good fare of organization lead to a good merchandiser.

Also with future forecasting to avoid upcoming problems, merchandiser should be pro-active.

Merchandiser needs to maintain good relations with the buyer, employee, member in his department and other people of the organization. Having good relation helps to work well in a team and to build and maintain an effective working relationship. Good treatment to buyer maintain healthy relationship leads to long-term business relationships.
Also, merchandiser should have good knowledge about – Bill of material, Tech-Pack and time and action calendar. He must know the key objectives of every department.

When ASP-db is switched to ASP-db.net, Css is used and the namemap tags effect is lost as styles are usually done in Css. However, modifying the styles are not easy to keep track and we have re-activated the dbNameMap tags to allow user to place tags there. One very obvious usage is to fix the grid and form widths to eliminate the 'bouncing' effect of the display upon paging. That is, when the cell widths are different in different pages, the table will change in width to accommodate that. Download the March DLL to experience the new fix. The following code illustrate how to use the name map to make the dual horiz grid display stable ->
Dim x As New Tornado.z
x.dbQP = "U=8| D=NWIND| S=1| Q=ORDERS| M=ty=both!indexfld=0|gdf=0,1|fmhf=0,1| th=tit=Northwind"
x.dbFormMagicCell = "fi=2|Mac=#2#|Tag=width='300'"
x.dbFormNameMap = "fi=2|Tag=width='123'"
x.dbNameMap = "fi=0|Tag=width='99',fi=1|Tag=width='98'"
Another better way to control long text fields is to use the TEXTAREA in the macro. Example -
mag &= "fi=Title|Mac=<TEXTAREA COLS=40 ROWS=4>#Title#</TEXTAREA>"

Welcome to the Business Department headed by myself, Mr Rock and assisted by Mrs Dillon and Mrs Smith. At Presdales we aim to provide students with a high quality learning experience which fosters a genuine interest and enjoyment of the business world around them.
This is achieved by keeping the content up to date, relevant and fresh. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for some of their own learning by studying independently but will be supported by staff who will follow a specified scheme of work, arrange support workshops, relevant business trips, external speakers and of course provide regular formative feedback so that they can improve their knowledge and understanding of important concepts and be able to answer examination questions well.
This department offers a popular option for Year 10 GCSE students where we generally have 3 groups of about 22 in Year 10 and the same in Year 11. The results are consistently good over with 80% of students achieving an A* to C and significant numbers achieving beyond their FFT target grade.
The course offers a unique combination of Economics and Business taught by applying theory to current topical material.
The new GCSE course we have opted for is the Edexcel/Pearson Business GCSE (9-1) 1BS0.
The course is split into two broad complementary themes called Investigating Business and Building a Business. Theme one develops the concepts of entrepreneurship and the practicalities if setting up a new business including external economic influences. Theme two then explores how businesses grow and looks at operational and financial decision making along with human resource management and recruitment. Both themes are examined with two 90 minute terminal examinations split into 3 sections, A,B & C and requiring skills of calculations, multiple choice, short answer and extended writing.
The course is a good base for progression to Year 12 where we offer Business A level and Economics A level separately. It is also useful to prepare students for the concepts and knowledge required for vocational study such as BTEC. Those considering their own business one day in the future will find the grounding that this rigorous GCSE gives useful.

Heartbeat Note 4.8.19
Good Morning Family, Every day is a blessing, even when we help others face the rampant mortality in our human race. There is always hope, and the light of the sun is permeating the globe even if we struggle to see it at this moment in time. My appreciation is always with each of you for choosing to serve our communities, day & night, to help make the journey through the valley of death a little more bearable.
As my sister, Sarah Morrison, mentioned in the previous emails, I had the incredible honor of serving with our Charis Bible College Sherman team in Kampala, Uganda. My body is still in recovery mode due to the time zone differences, yet my spirit and soul are ablaze with holy fire for the immense world we currently call home. There are so many wonderful people to meet and engage with everyday! I will forever be an advocate for us to reach out a little further on a daily basis in our personal spheres of influence. You were created to be a blessing(Genesis 12:1-3). God put a unique breath in you so that this world will know HIM in a special way. Once we realize that life is not about us, then the doors of opportunity swing WIDE OPEN! I promise you that you will never be able to out-give our Heavenly Father with you time, talents, or treasure.
A little wisdom for the week: Proverbs 11:25 MSG, "The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed, those who help others are helped." In the NKJV, this verse speaks of a "generous soul," which is indicative of one who forges the mind with proper thoughts on who they really are in this life by a solid anchor or foundation point. None of us as human beings can be generous if we are in a survival mode or poverty mentality. The very real, instinctive reactions of fight or flight will continually rule our mind, will, and emotions if we do not fix our gaze on someone or something higher in value. I personally found that my value cannot be determined by this tangible world, so my thoughts stay forever fixed on Jesus and the great worth He sees in me(Hebrews 12:1-2; Philippians 4:8-9; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18). This brings true freedom and creates a mindset that is externally focused. 99% of the healing I have experienced has come through giving back to others, mainly in the time listening and working together on necessary tasks to live. My hope for all of us this week is to have a clearer understanding on how loved we really are by the Creator of this vast world and universe. He placed key people all around us to validate this great love. Even in our brokenness, He gently leads us to be made whole once again so that He can pour out more love to others. WOW.
Feedback is always welcome and appreciated. We are here to pray, support, and serve you. Hope to catch everyone at convention in Tulsa the next two days! Sincerely Yours, Stephen P. Shain

Potato salad is great; sweet potato salad is just as good. Sweet potato is sweeter and creamier, and some varieties have a more attractive color too. If all those plusses are not enough, sweet potato is a lot less
cheaper expensive than potato.
Price is a huge factor during the monsoon season here in the tropics when the price of vegetables skyrocket. Low supply, according to vegetable sellers. Crops are damaged by strong winds and rains. And because road travel is not all that safe during storms and typhoons, less dealers are willing to transport the produce from the farms to the markets.
The funny thing is that when the monsoon is season is over and the vegetable supply goes back to normal, the prices never go back to pre-monsoon rates. It is a factor, of course, that the monsoon season ends at the same time that the Christmas season begins when the price of every commodity goes up because consumers are in the mood to spend money and businessmen know it.
The even funnier thing is that after the Christmas season is over and summer begins, the price of basic commodities DO NOT go back to the previous year's pre-monsoon rates. Law of supply and demand again? Oh, come on, there are no strong winds and rains to ruin the crops during summer, and we see the markets flooded with vegetables.
Why do the prices keep going up year after year then? Remember that it has less to do with supply and demand, know that it has more to do with who control the supply and distribution, then just put two and two together.
But, cheap or not, sweet potato is delicious. It's up to you what color of sweet potato you want to use for this salad. Go for the light colored ones or the bright orange kind, or you can even mix them together.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with the melted butter and salt. Set aside.
- Make a dressing by stirring together the yogurt and honey.
- Toss the sweet potatoes and dressing.
- Divide the sweet potatoes between two bowls.
- Top with walnuts and parsley.
- Serve at room temperature.
Because we live in unusual times, read about stocking the pantry and how to replenish your food supply.
If you cooked this dish (or made this drink) and you want to share your masterpiece, please use your own photos and write the cooking steps in your own words.

Cool Pics on Flickr - From Stanford Medicine
This is not my actual head, although it is someone's actual head. But it's a pretty cool 3D medical image of what my head looks like post surgery (without hair or scalp of course :). I have one of these on each side.
If you see that red artery on the surface of the skull in front of the surgery site, that's a temporal artery (as in temple). There was another one that now goes into the 'spoon slot' in the bone piece that was removed. That's now attached to a major artery in the brain supplying blood from the 'outside' of the skull, as it were.
The three pieces of hardware are called dog bones, for obvious reasons. I have two dog bones and a snowflake. That's how I know this isn't me. :) But seeing this image is a little disturbing since I didn't think my 'spoon slot' was quite so large. Geese, I'm gonna be more careful with pencils behind my ears from now on.
Stanford has uploaded other cool 3D images here. They aren't all head surgeries either. I'm not sure about the top of this person's head. I'd like to think the image just got cut off. :)

ITask.Wait() behaving differently when called multiple times
Der schöne Günther posted a topic in RTL and Delphi Object PascalConsider the following: uses System.Threading; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var task: ITask; begin task := TTask.Run( procedure() begin raise EProgrammerNotFound.Create('test'); end ); try task.Wait(); // << raises EAggregateException except ShowMessage('ex'); end; task.Wait(); // no exception. returns true // task.Status is now TTaskStatus.Exception end; I find this irritating. Why does waiting for a task raise an exception one time, but not the other? Apart from the fact that the Embarcadero documentation on ITask.Wait(..) does not even mention an exception should be expected, I guess they (once again) modelled it after .NET's Task.Wait(..) method which clearly states an exception is to be expected if the task was cancelled or failed with an exception. Some fine gentleman even reported this to Embarcadero almost five years back: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-9548 But two years later, it was closed as "Works as expected". I still don't understand. Can someone elaborate? I believe the implementation is wrong.

Hundreds feared buried in Sri Lanka rubbish dump landslide
Colombo emergency workers to resume search for missing on Sunday after 19 bodies extracted from rubbish and mud
Emergency workers looking for survivors after a massive rubbish dump collapsed in Sri Lanka suspended their search on Saturday night, having already extracted 19 bodies from the rubble and mud.
The 90-metre-high dump in the capital Colombo collapsed after flames engulfed it late on Friday, the nations New Years Day, and witnesses said around 100 houses could have been buried.
The rescue mission will resume at 6am local time, according to the military official heading the operation, Sudantha Ranasinghe.
The main obstacle is we dont have a clear idea of how many people are buried as nobody is claiming that their relatives are missing, unlike on previous occasions, Ranasinghe said.
We dont have any deadline and we will continue until we clear everything.

text: Matt Straw - December 06, 2011 Great Lake Trout Trends Long before salmon reigned as king, lake trout ruled North America's largest lakes. Before Columbus, Native Americans plied the Great Lakes for lake trout in birch-bark canoes, using rocks to carry their baits deep with lines made of gut, hair, or both. Apparently, they even fashioned lures from clam shells.Wire lines and heavy weights were the rule for open-water lake trout anglers from Victorian times until downriggers were invented in the 1960s. Commercial fisheries depended on sailboats and row boats to lift nets until 1906 when wooden steamers took over. The peak commercial harvests of lake trout from lakes Huron and Michigan took place between 1892 and 1896. During that period, an estimated 34.8 million pounds of lake trout were extracted from Lake Michigan by all commercial sources — almost 7 million pounds per year, and by far the most ever netted in any five-year period from any of the Great Lakes.Ships and the nets they carried continued to increase in efficiency into the 1950s, when a general collapse occurred in lake trout fisheries throughout the Great Lakes. In 1951, total commercial harvest from Lake Michigan dropped to 7,000 pounds, then to 3,000 pounds in 1952. Did commercial fishing doom the lake trout? In 1968 the Fisheries Research Board of Canada reported that "the famous lake trout fisheries of the Great Lakes have been decimated by the sea lamprey and by pollution, particularly DDT. The latter accumulates in fatty tissues, especially in the yolk of the egg and induces the death of the embryo following yolk absorption." Little did they realize that another toxic chemical 200 times deadlier than DDT was already at large in the lakes. Lake Erie had a thriving community of lakers prior to 1950. That line of genetic lineage is now gone. According to Mary Burnham-Curtis of the National Biological Service, the native lake trout of Lake Ontario also became extinct, "and no remnant stocks exist." All native strains of lake trout within Lake Michigan "are now extinct, and no remnant stocks exist." Lake Huron's native lakers were "severely reduced," and only a few remnant populations persist in Georgian Bay. The lake trout fisheries in Lake Superior collapsed in the 1950s, too, but the cooperative management efforts of bordering states and Ontario salvaged some native strains from the extinction parade.Lake trout never made the list of endangered species, however, because they remain plentiful elsewhere on the continent. So, with plenty of stocks to work with, the "good" news is that lake trout numbers are high again in Lake Michigan and in Lake Ontario.In fact, an In-Fisherman television crew visited the famous Niagara Bar on Lake Ontario last year for one of its easiest filming missions. Lake trout carpet the bottom on the Bar all winter long. A live shiner on a simple bait rig is mauled before it reaches bottom. Lake trout average 8- to 12-pounds, with plenty in the 20-pound class. It easily rivals most fly-in camps in Canada for both numbers and size. Lake trout fishing across Lake Ontario and Lake Michigan is good to spectacular for big fish. So, what's the problem?The problem stems from the almost complete lack of natural reproduction in all but one of the Great Lakes. Other problems stem from replacing extinct genetic strains with strains of fish adapted to other environments. A study by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources called Loss of Exploited, Indigenous Populations of Lake Trout by Stocking of Non-Native Stocks, by David Owens and Campbell Wilcox, concluded: "Simulation modeling generally supported our two main hypotheses: 1. That stocking of hatchery-reared lake trout results in the loss of native stocks; and 2. That high fishing mortality accelerates the rate of displacement of native stocks by hatchery stocks." When stocking of non-native strains of trout exceeds natural reproduction by wild fish, the study warns, wild stocks will eventually disappear due to the sheer weight of numbers, even if no interbreeding occurs. Moreover, when a native trout breeds with a hatchery trout, the resulting genetic mix is compromised. In some ways, the hatchlings are weaker and less adapted to their environments than indigenous fish. A third danger exists: Because lake trout live in deep, clear, relatively sterile environments, they often resort to cannibalism. When non-native adults are stocked, the study reports, cannibalism increases. Wild hatchlings are high on the menu because they're easy for hatchery fish to find and prey upon. Hatchery fish are notoriously poor at capturing wild adult baitfish like ciscoes when first stocked.From a study called Lake Trout Populations In Lake Superior and Their Restoration, 1959-1993 by Michael Hansen of the National Biological Service: "Diverse lake trout forms persisted in Lake Superior until the 1950s, when excessive fishery (both sport and commercial) exploitation and sea-lamprey predation destroyed all but a few. Restoration efforts began in time to save a few stocks of offshore lean, siscowet and humper lake trout, but virtually all stocks of inshore-lean lake trout were eliminated. Genetic diversity was thus greatly reduced by destruction of locally adapted stocks, interbreeding between stocked and wild lake trout, and introgression between formerly isolated wild stocks."Fortunately, biologists found a lake in Wisconsin stocked many years ago with Lake Michigan trout. Lake Huron retains a remnant strain or two to work with. So, hopes of reestablishing a viable native population in those lakes persists. But beating back the lamprey invasion and controlling harvest won't solve the reproduction problem. According to a recent EPA report on POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants), "Studies during the early 1980s by scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in Ann Arbor, Michigan, indicated that the most likely cause of poor reproductive success (among lake trout) was toxic chemicals. Their analyses identified 167 chlorinated hydrocarbons in fish, and many more have been identified since." Back in the 1960s, the insecticide DDT was found poisonous to hatchling lake trout. Some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) were later found to be even more toxic to lakers. More recently, scientists working for the Sea Grant program discovered that lake trout hatchlings die in the presence of tiny amounts (200 times less than the deadliest PCB) of a form of dioxin that has been pumped into all the Great Lakes in the form of industrial and municipal waste for over 100 years.Killer ChemicalsAccording to a recent study by Sea Grant, the fate of at least one Great Lakes gray-trout population was sealed by 1940. The usual suspects — the oft-damned lamprey invasion, commercial fishing pressure, DDT and PCBs — were lined up, but didn't take the fall this time. Something else was fingered for the hit that sent Lake Ontario trout the way of the carrier pigeon."The population in Lake Ontario was extirpated by 1960. A combination of things led to an overall decline until toxicity kicked in, then all the other factors made no difference. After 1940, native lake trout were doomed."Dr. Cook, research chemist for the Mid-continent Ecology Division of the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, working with Dr. Richard Peterson of the University of Wisconsin, is investigating the role of toxic chemicals in the demise of Lake Ontario native trout. Core samples from the bottom of the lake revealed a long history of increasing amounts of dioxins, PCBs, and other POPs. In the laboratory, Peterson discovered that all lake trout hatchlings die in otherwise perfect conditions in the presence of just 20 parts per trillion of the dioxin TCDD (tetrachlorodibenzo-"p"-dioxin). "We don't know why lakers are more susceptible to TCDD than other species, but they are," Cook said. "The bull trout was the only fish more sensitive than lake trout to TCDD."The genetic traits fine-tuned by centuries of natural selection to make a trout right for Erie, Michigan, and Ontario were scheduled for extinction by factors that nobody understood in 1940. Cook and Peterson look to publish a paper in the journal of the American Chemical Society detailing how it happened. "Sub-lethal effects of TCDD — things like malformation, impaired physiological function, neurological damage, and other problems that severely compromise survivability — begin at 4 or 5 parts per trillion for lake trout," Cook said.To get some idea of how miniscule 5 parts per trillion is, expand the molecules in question to the size of softballs. About 3.5 trillion softballs would be required to cover the surface of Lake Superior. If black softballs represent molecules of TCDD, a concentration of 5 parts per trillion equates to 18 black softballs in a sea of white balls 500 miles long and 200 miles wide.Concentrations that small begin causing serious birth defects in lake trout. Concentrations of 20 parts per trillion, or about 70 black softballs spread across Lake Superior, kills every hatchling lake trout in the system. Apparently, that's how virulent TCDD is to lakers. The bad news is that all the Great Lakes periodically contained levels of TCDD over 20 parts per trillion for decades.Other studies have linked more than a half dozen other chemicals with mortality and reproductive failure among Great Lakes lake trout populations, most notably DDT, PCBs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Because POPs are, by definition, persistent, meaning the molecules basically refuse to break down, rates of decline are extremely slow.The good news (finally) is that dioxins, PCBs, DDT and many other POPs were outlawed in the 1970s. "With core samples, we reconstructed the exposure levels that took place," Cook explained. "The peak (for TCDD influx) was around 1968, and about 1970 for most PCBs. Sediment core analysis reveals significant improvement since that time. Evidence of lake trout reproduction has been appearing sporadically since the middle 1980s. We're now in the process of trying to determine if natural reproduction can, once again, supplant stocking in some areas of the lower (Great) lakes."Meanwhile, POPs developed throughout the 20th Century will stay in circulation. "Research shows that PCBs persist in the atmosphere and are slowly making their way to the Arctic," said Dr. Cook. "Hot spots of contamination — old chemical manufacturing sites, paper mills — continue to release these chemicals over time. Levels are coming down, but I'm sure discharges from industrial sources continue. And, unfortunately, these chemicals may still be in production in other parts of the world."For those interested in restoring Great Lakes lake trout populations, the biggest challenge will be to repel ongoing attacks on the Clean Water Act (CWA) and toxic cleanup strategies. Industrialists have big pockets and continue to fund drives to cripple the CWA. Hopefully, the Great Lakes will prove to be bigger and more important in the minds of voters.Superior Success StoryAccording Michael to Hansen and associates, three distinct strains persist in Lake Superior: the "offshore lean" lake trout (similar to those that inhabit most deep, cold lakes in Canada), and the "humper" and "siscowet" forms that differentiated within Lake Superior after the pleistocene era. Indigenous only to Lake Superior, the siscowet is believed to spawn at depths of 150 feet, making it one of the deepest known spawners in freshwater. They live so deep, in fact, that it becomes impractical to either fish for them or study them most of the year.Jeff Gunderson, associate director of Minnesota Sea Grant, had this to say about siscowets: "They are way more abundant than lean lake trout in Lake Superior — and we're wondering, is it something new, or has it always been that way? It's still somewhat of a mystery when and where they spawn. They're living down at 40°F, year-round, but they do come up to forage in shallower habitats, at times competing with lean lake trout."Population surveys of siscowets held in the Michigan waters of Lake Superior produced fascinating results. Nets were placed every 100 feet, down to 600 feet. At each 100-foot drop in depth, the siscowet catch increased down to 600 feet, the practical limit of setting and retrieving nets. Does the population continue to increase, right down to the bottom of Superior? Nobody knows."But we do know that siscowets grow huge. That 61-pound laker landed on the Michigan side several years ago was determined to be a siscowet. Added layers of fat required to survive in the extreme depths of Superior give the siscowet a deep belly and stout appearance. Besides immense size, what makes the siscowet so rare is the lack of attention it receives. Though lake trout are popular gamefish in the North, Lake Superior's most populous form of the species exists in almost virgin condition, largely untouched and unspoiled by anglers or commercial operations. The aversion? With that high fat content, a big one will burn your grill to the ground, then horrify your taste buds.In March of 2002, the Minnesota DNR announced that lake trout stocking within the management zone MN€'3 (the northernmost of three management zones within Minnesota) would no longer be necessary because of recoveries in natural reproduction. The DNR cited fisheries management techniques, notably strict limits on commercial and sport harvest, along with improvements in water quality and better control of sea lamprey. (But another viable reason could be that Lake Superior volatilizes more PCBs through wave action than it gains through precipitation.) Zones MN-1 and MN-2 continue to require stocking to maintain population levels — but not much.To say this is positive news in the world of lake trout management is an understatement of a magnitude that can be appreciated only by Great Lakes fishery biologists."It's one of the greatest fishery success stories ever," Don Schreiner, area fishery supervisor for MDNR lake Superior says. "Throughout most of Lake Superior, few areas remain where hatchery trout are needed. We're now trying to introduce Lake Superior strains into the other lakes. Strains deemed most adaptable to the habitat in Lake Michigan have been stocked on some of the deeper offshore reefs. Stocking, combined with sea lamprey control, has opened the door for restoration."Unfortunately, we still have no successful wild reproduction to report in Lake Michigan. Georgian Bay, however, shows some strong wild reproduction. Lakes Erie and Ontario have some natural reproduction, but few trout are living to adult size. Toxic pollutants and cannibalism by stocked fish are two possible obstacles, but the Great Lakes have been invaded by dozens of other exotic species. Two of the most damaging for lake trout have been alewives and smelt. These 'baitfish' are predators, easily capable of wiping out year classes of tiny hatchling lake trout."Heroes of RestorationRecent success stories in the other Great Lakes are many, but mostly of a put-and-take nature. Catching a lake trout over 20 pounds anywhere in the Great Lakes is easier right now perhaps than at any point in the past 50 years. But most are stocks from other parts of the continent that have been largely unsuccessful at reproducing. Yet charter captains like John Oravec of Lake Ontario view the restoration, to this point, as epic."I doubt that more time, effort, or money ever has been spent on the restoration of any other freshwater gamefish," Oravec said. "The restoration is ongoing and has been an heroic effort. There's a persistent, well-funded stocking program. Effort and funding for lamprey removal has been ongoing in all states and provinces surrounding the Great Lakes. Management study and effort has been immense, and it's working."Also, we're keeping lake trout alive until they get huge to give them an opportunity to eventually reproduce. They're the only salmonid in the Great Lakes protected by seasons and slot limits. The possession limit is 3 per person per day, and the slot limit only allows harvest of trout under 25 inches with one over 30 inches."The result of these efforts is that the size profile of lake trout is increasing," Oravec continued. "Ten years ago, a 12-pounder took braggin' rights. Now a 20-pounder is met with a ho-hum. One 11-year-old laker caught during the 1990s on the Bar weighed 39 pounds. Two winters ago, we caught and released lots of 18- to 25-pound lakers. Last year, the biggest fish in the LOC Spring Derby was a laker — 28.8 pounds — bigger than the biggest king salmon for the first time in the long history of the tournament."Studies by the NYDEC have shown that lakers are very releasable — they can survive being handled and released. We catch lots of lakers that show evidence of having been caught before, giving the lie to those who claim lakers die after being pulled from the depths. Release mortality is low."Lake trout have a duct that allows them to release gas as it expands in the air bladder, unlike walleyes or bass. And the fishing, Oravec claims, is spectacular. "Doubles, triples, it's a riot. There's a prowling, mauling slurry of lakers out there. Lake trout are aggressive. I'll get 2 or 3 guys in the back of the boat just hauling until their arms fall off. Consumption advisories are dropping off, and lots of clients are keeping a few small lakers to eat. Lake trout, I understand, have more omega-3 triglycerides than any fish except bluefin tuna and king salmon," Oravec added. "Those are the oils that nutritionists say are so critical in maintaining a healthy heart."Healthiest for some hearts is knowing salvelinus namaycush stands a fighting chance of thriving again in waters it inhabited long before homo sapiens sapiens arrived.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – After kicking the Miami Dolphins out of the playoff hunt with a 24-16 win on Sunday, it's on to New England for the Buffalo Bills. And a chance at history.
Well, relatively speaking.
A win for the Bills on Christmas Eve against the hated Patriots not only would go down as the luck-chewed franchise's biggest victory of the 21st century, it would bring Buffalo to the cusp of its first post-season berth of the young millennium – a long dreamed-of day that would end this region's great shame, an ignominious streak of 17 consecutive NFL seasons without the Bills making the playoffs. It's the longest active skid in the league.
After Sunday's games, Buffalo, Baltimore and Tennessee all had 8-6 records. Two of the three appear likeliest to snag the AFC's pair of wild-card playoff berths as non-division winners.
If the Patriots beat the Bills this coming Sunday, however, as almost everyone will predict this week, then to make the playoffs as one of the two AFC wild cards, the Bills would have to defeat the Dolphins again, this time in Miami on New Year's Eve in their regular-season finale, and hope other Week 16 and 17 AFC results go precisely their way. If not, the Bills' dreaded drought would hit 18 years.
Probably few here among the 62,202 ticket buyers who chose to brave a grey, snowless but bitingly cold day at New Era Field (-6C and windy) were thinking so pessimistically. Just about everything favoured the local team over the decisive first two-and-a-half quarters, when the Bills raced to a 24-6 lead against a wildly unpredictable Dolphins outfit that had clobbered the Patriots just six days earlier.
These plucky Buffalo players of over-achieving first-year head coach Sean McDermott are two games over .500 with two games left – a bar only two other Buffalo teams this century have reached (in 2004 and 2014).
Miami dropped to 6-8, effectively out of the AFC wild-card chase. Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler was terrible. His longest completion before the fourth quarter was 13 yards and he threw three wayward, desperation-drenched passes that got easily intercepted in the second half.
Sunday's was a rare late-December game with meaning for the Bills, in which just about everything went exactly right the majority of the time.
Buffalo won its sixth home game of the season, something the club hadn't done since 1999 – its last playoff season.
"That's huge," McDermott said. "We talk a lot about defending our dirt."
Who's to say with things can't go Buffalo's way through New Year's Eve?
Asked if he's breaking from his one-week-at-a-time focus and discussing the position his team is in, re playoff prospects, when practically nobody but employees at One Bills Drive believed the club wasn't trying to tank in 2017, McDermott said:
"I think we embrace people talking about us. That's good in that type of light. We embrace that. That said, we have to focus on our process and what has gotten us to where we are, and then continue to grow."
Frankly, this Bills team is not stacked with talent at any position. Whether it wins or loses, it seems to do so convincingly. Such as on this day.
Against the sloppy Dolphins, McDermott's Bills displayed characteristics emblematic of good teams in big games, at least while building a three-score lead before the final quarter. These Bills actually played past their potential on both sides of the ball and, even more than that, played with poise when it mattered most – attributes sorely missing in these parts in win-or-else games earlier this century.
The Bills scored a touchdown on their opening possession and never trailed. Hell, they didn't even commit a single penalty in roaring out to a 21-6 halftime lead.
Strangely, even though the Bills' rushing attack wasn't particularly effective – 116 yards on 30 carries (3.9 average) – Bills QB Tyrod Taylor eviscerated Miami's over-committed defence with passes off run fakes. By halftime he'd done most of his aerial damage: 165 yards and a TD on 12-of-18 passing. Taylor also added 42 yards rushing by game's end and another touchdown, for easily his best overall game since late October.
"We were dynamic in terms of the mix of run-pass, and opened it up down the field a couple of times, which kept (the Dolphins) off balance at times," McDermott said. "Tyrod did a good job of really getting a lot of people involved in the passing game as well."
Bills running back LeSean McCoy gained 50 yards on the ground, to become just the 30th NFL player with 10,000 career yards, and the first of those with an average of 4.5 yards per carry, 400-plus receptions and 80-plus career TDs.
It didn't even matter that, in the second half, McCoy ran for just four yards and the Bills did not convert a single third down. Because crucial bounces kept going Buffalo's way. Such as when cornerback Shareece Wright dropped the ball on a long runback of his third-quarter interception of Jay Cutler, but the ball bounced right back up into his chest as he dived to pounce on it. And when Bills punter Colton Schmidt pooched a kick that doinked perfectly off the ground and into the waiting arms of punt-downer Lafeyette Pitts at the Miami one-yard line.
In more hexed years, that's a touchback. Or a 99-yard punt-return TD that swings the game for good to the other side. Maybe Buffalo's luck really is changing.
Depending on how next week's game in Foxboro ends up, the Bills' playoff hopes may depend most on their ability to repeat what happened this Sunday in Miami, two Sundays from now.
Why not?
12th-year Bill engages team about 'what it means to play here'
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – If Sunday's defeat of Miami was Kyle Williams' last home game after 12 years as a Buffalo Bill, he wasn't saying.
The 35-year-old defensive tackle hasn't hid the fact he's nearing the end of the line. Bills head coach Sean McDermott asked the long-time locker-room leader to speak for eight minutes at Saturday night's full-team meeting, about "what it means to play here."
Said Williams: "The gist of it is just how special this place is because of the fans, because of who they are. We play and we live in a place that celebrates grit as much as they celebrate talent. And I said that's not the case everywhere.
"I said I've been here a long time and we get guys that, oh, they may not want to come here in free agency, or they may not want to get drafted here. Those same people when they leave in free agency, or they're released or whatever it is – they don't want to leave."
His career isn't over yet, Williams made sure to point out. Are these last two showdowns of 2017, at New England and at Miami, the biggest of his career, after 165 games?
"They're definitely the two biggest of the season. But you know? They could be," Williams said.
