John E. Wheelden Sr.John E. Wheelden Sr.
VERNON John E. Wheelden Sr., 87, died Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, at his home in Vernon.
He was born in Brattleboro on June 1, 1925, the son of Stuart and Josephine (Garrity) Wheelden Sr. and attended school at St. Michaels Catholic School. He was known to friends and family as Probie or Wheely.
In 1942, at age 17, he joined the Merchant Marine. After leaving the Merchant Marine he enlisted in the U.S. Army on May 27, 1944, and was a member of Company F, 10th Infantry Regiment.
During his service he received several medals and ribbons, including a Purple Heart (January 1945), and was honorably discharged on May 9, 1946. He continued his military service as a member of the Army National Guard until he retired in 1985.
Mr. Wheelden joined the Brattleboro Fire Department in 1946, holding the positions of firefighter, lieutenant, fire inspector and captain before being promoted to assistant fire chief in March 1985. He retired from career staff in 1987, but remained active with the fire department as a member of the Call Force until 2009. He was also a member of the volunteer departments in Vernon and Wilmington, and the Zephyrhills, Fla., Fire Department.
He also served as a member of the Brattleboro Police Department. He was elected as Brattleboro first constable in 1958 and served his last term in 2001.
He married Patricia (Knapp) Wheelden on Feb. 19, 1972, in Brattleboro.
For many years the couple enjoyed spending their winters at their home in Zephyhills, Fla.
Mr. Wheelden was an active, lifetime member of the Elks, VFW, American Legion, and Eagles Club. He enjoyed travel, time at his camp in Wilmington, hunting, fishing, walking and bird watching.

2012 Annual Meeting
Designing for Impact
In a world of seven billion people, the demand on natural and man-made resources is greater than ever before. Yet we also have more human capital than ever before. The power and ingenuity of seven billion individuals, when collectively applied to our greatest challenges, can foster a healthier, more prosperous, and more sustainable planet.
• How can we utilize our abundance of global capacity to invent better tools, build effective interventions, change behaviors, and work creatively and collaboratively to design a future worth pursuing?
• How are we designing our individual lives, our environments, and the global systems we employ in order to have impact on the challenges at hand?
• How can we better design our world to create more opportunity and more equality?
How can we provide reliable and safe energy to those in need?
Design Lab
1.6 billion people around the world live without power or electric light, 70 percent of whom are women and children. Each year, nearly two million people die prematurely of illnesses caused by indoor air pollution from solid fuel use in households. Access to reliable and safe energy is therefore key to both health and economic development, with impacts ranging from providing children with a light-source for nighttime studying to limiting deforestation. Innovations in products, technologies, business models, and financing, with a particular focus on integrating women in the production and delivery process, are showing promise in providing safe and reliable access to energy to these 1.6 billion.
Influencing Behavior and Attitudes
Commitment Workshop
The ability to influence behavior can determine an initiative's success or failure. Relevant messaging, communications, and educational tools that change basic habits and attitudes can multiply the reach and impact of a project. CGI members will examine what strategies and tactics are most effective for promoting real, lasting behavioral change, while exploring how these tools can be designed into projects from the outset.
How can we advance women-owned businesses in the developing world?
Design Lab
In emerging economies, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make up roughly two thirds of the GDP, comprise 85 percent of employment in the combined formal and informal sectors, and are responsible for most of the job creation. Across the world, women-owned enterprises grow at a greater rate than those owned by men. Supporting women-owned businesses to compete in the global market has multiple benefits; however, these businesses struggle against numerous barriers to growth in developing countries, including limited access to markets, the global supply chain, finance, and skills development.
Integrating Social and Environmental Value into Core Business
Commitment Workshop
Companies and society both benefit when businesses account for social and environmental value in addition to financial returns. Organizations that nurture small suppliers, restore local ecosystems, and build new relationships are reaping the rewards of higher quality, lower costs, and reduced risks. In this session, CGI members will share key lessons from their experiences with designing business practices and partnerships that create jobs, protect the environment, and promote social equity.
Turning Inspiration Into Action: Advancing the Individual
Broadcast Conversation
Good intentions abound among global changemakers, but translating that intent into action is much more difficult. To best serve the needs of people around the world, how can CGI's community of leaders bridge the gap between designing impactful solutions and motivating people to participate in these solutions? Whether they focus on inspiring children to get excited about education, organizing a human-focused refugee camp, or designing a progressive living environment, the best solutions mobilize individuals as part of their approach. In this session, a series of speakers will share their experiences with designing to advance the interests of individuals, and leaders from across the NGO, business, and government sectors will address the following key question together: how can we design approaches that inspire individuals to take an active role in the process?

From fostering team spirit to watching DVDs and putting an arm around a player's shoulder, preparation between games is key for every coach.
In the third of our seven-part documentary series, The Coaches, UEFA.com speaks to some of the best in the business, including the likes of Laurent Blanc, Leonid Slutski and Mircea Lucescu. "I talk to certain players for a long time every day, but with others I may not have a face-to-face conversation for several months," said Slutski, the PFC CSKA Moskva trainer.
FC Twente's Steve McClaren, meanwhile, added: "It's about preparation. It's not just about the game, it's about what you do before the game – what you do before the season begins, the work you do and the philosophy you have."

For those in need of an inexpensive thin-and-light laptop for home or school (but not necessarily the thinnest or lightest), the Dell Inspiron 14 5000 series is worth putting on your list despite its imperfections.
The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors.
The Dell Venue 7 is one of the best small tablet bargains. The larger Venue 8 is just as capable, however there are other 8-inch slates that offer more features for the same price.
The 8.4-inch Dell tablet one-ups the competition with an impressive depth-capturing camera.
Pricing not available
For its sub-$500 price, this 11-inch hybrid delivers everyday ultraportable performance and a long battery life.
While the entry model is less of a bargain than it used, this thin, aluminum clad laptop is still a good deal for what you're getting.
A first look at the Alpha's console-like Windows 8 interface.

About Chateau Z
You have arrived at the online home of Chateau Z Vineyard. Chateau Z is a late 19th century farm home built by Mr. James B. Peters around 1897 in a broad valley on the eastern side of Tobacco Row Mountain in central Amherst County, Virginia. The previous farm house on the property was a log home, probably built by William Beverley of Monacan Indian heritage, sometime close to 1841 (based on cut dates from the logs). The old log home was used as a barn from Mr. Peter's time through 2008 when it was taken down and stored by Four Square Builders of Madison Heights for future reconstruction. An Italian tile barn was constructed adjacent to the old log home/barn by Mr. William Uniss in the early 1970's and now houses CZ's vineyard equipment. The chateau itself was saved by Uniss and his associates in the early 1970's by many improvements to the house after many years of tenant and renter occupation. Uniss orchestrated the digging of a basement by "Eric the Human Mole" where the cellar is now located. The following owners, Roy and Mary Lee Taylor continued improvements to the house including replacing the footings under the east and north walls of the back addition, maintaining the roof, and installing the large brick patio where we have installed a pergola and raised garden beds. We have also re-sided the house, rebuilt the kitchen, rebuilt the front porches and columns, installed new front doors, replaced all the windows, and updated the wood burning stove and heat pump system. We hope to install solar water heat soon and solar panels in the future. A downstairs bathroom is also badly needed in the house.
About Us
There is a lot of "we" in this website and it refers to Drs. Clifford and Rebecca Ambers, both Ph.D. holders in geology. Cliff takes care of all vineyard business including all farm labor. Rebecca is an associate professor in Environmental Science at nearby
Sweet Briar College
. Cliff carries on his family's tradition of self-sufficiency through horticulture. With Czech, German, and Irish roots, he has the European peasant in his genetics and needs to squirrel away produce for later consumption. This drives his wine making and home vegetable fermentation business. In 2007, Rebecca grafted and planted about 30 heritage apple trees which started to produce in 2012. Rebecca has recently taken up hunting game and augments the household food stores with venison and an occasional rabbit or squirrel. Rebecca also started bee keeping in the spring of 2012 and time will tell if honey (and mead!) becomes part of the larder.
What's this "Z" Business Anyway?
Well, a chateau is a house, which is where we live. "Z" refers to Cliff's father Anthony's birth surname which was "Zamborsky." Tony served on Navy Pier in Chicago during WWII as an instrumentation instructor and having a 'Z' name, received his paycheck after all the other sailors. He often recounted the story of getting his paycheck after most of the rest of the sailors had spent theirs. He told us that he decided then to lose the 'Z' so his children wouldn't be at the end of the list. He dropped the 'Z' from Zamborsky, removed the 'ky' and changed the 'o' to an 'e' to arrive at "Ambers." And here we are! There have been many times it has been nice to be at the front of the line and we remember it in the name of our vineyard. Tony was also a "grape nut", as well as an avid gardener and orchardist. His passion lives on in our vineyard.
The Area
Shown at right is Tobacco Row Mountain viewed from the Blue Ridge to the southwest. Chateau Z is on the opposite side of the mountain from this view.
This region is as yet fairly low on wineries, but is a fantastic area to grow hybrid grapes. Viniferaists are warned of the difficult eastern growing climate that is very humid and wet in most years. Most of the local people do not understand wine fashion and despise snobbery, so premium vinifera wines are a hard sell here. Furthermore, Pierce's disease, a bacterial infection that kills vinifera grape vines, is on the move northward from North Carolina and it won't be long given climate warming before culture of the non-indigenous European grape varieties becomes very expensive and uneconomical here. Sorry Mr. Jefferson, you should have listened to the noise Dr. Norton was making down in Richmond and built a successful industry on his grape and the other indigenous cultivars that arose in the early 1800's throughout Virginia instead of trying to stuff French culture down Virginia's throat! Although vinifera grapes are the most abundant varieties grown in Virginia today, it is seriously doubtful they can continue that way indefinitely given their disease susceptibility and requirement for heavy chemical prophylaxis to grow and produce in this climate. They simply are not sustainable here.

Smarter Living: Chemical Index
Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen used in many consumer products and building materials.
What Is It?
Formaldehyde is a volatile organic chemical (VOC) meaning that products containing formaldehyde can give off formaldehyde vapors for a long time. Its presence as an indoor air pollutant is largely because of its use in building materials, carpeting and furniture. Formaldehyde is used in many common household items, including plywood, furniture, composite or pressed wood products, wallpaper, glues, antiseptics, cosmetics and nail polish.
Formaldehyde is also produced during combustion and can be found as an outdoor air contaminant from sources such as forest fires, power plants, automobile exhaust and cigarette smoke. Formaldehyde can react with other chemicals iin the atmosphere to create carbon monoxide, contributing to smog formation.
Health Concerns
The effects from long-term exposure to formaldehyde include cancer of the nasal passages and throat, leukemia and potentially other cancers of the respiratory tract. Short term effects of exposure to formaldehyde vapors include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin, as well as nausea and headaches. Research also shows a link between exposure to elevated levels of formaldehyde and an increase in a child's risk of getting asthma.
Stay Safe
To minimize formaldehyde exposure at home:
- Make sure any wood furniture or fixtures that use particleboard are laminated or otherwise coated,
- Choose exterior-grade rather than interior-grade pressed wood products for remodeling, and
- Be sure that areas where you are using products containing formaldehyde are well ventilated.
Take Action
Congress in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 defined formaldehyde as a toxic air pollutant subject to regulatory action and it is considered by U.S. EPA as one of the major toxic constituents of smog. However, there are no federal laws banning or regulating the use of formaldehyde in consumer products and very few safety standards which have been implemented to limit use.
A number of states have taken action to tighten up regulation of formaldehyde, and the market is responding to consumer concerns about the health effects from exposure. Formaldehyde-free insulation and wood products are now readily available, and some companies are marketing formaldehyde-free clothing, personal care products and baby items.
But consumer protection should not be left to successful retailer campaigns. Congress must act so that unsafe chemicals like formaldehyde are removed from the market and new chemicals are tested for safety before they are put into use. Legislation to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was introduced in April 2010. Let your legislators know you want swift passage of this critically important bill.

Remo 22' Clear Ambassador Head Reviews
I was recently introduced to this drumhead through our engineer and producer who is currently recording our new album. I think it's the very first time I ever play with a single ply head on my kick drum. He mentioned that he had recently recorded some other drummer who was using the Ambassador and that he got a very cool, enormous kick sound, so we tried it out for one of our new songs. I must say, I don't know why I haven't play with this head before. We achieved this 'Bonham-ish' sound that was incredible.
For achieving big, fat kick drum sound with a nice attack, this head is a perfect choice.mtebaldi rated this unit on 2010-05-31.

S95 with slave flash, exposure hell?
Feb 28, 2011
I'm considering getting a slave flash for my S95 to bounce off the ceiling.
I'm worried about exposure though, since the flash just fires dumbly won't getting a correct exposure be very fiddly?

Chapter 7:
THE FEDERAL ASSUMPTION PROCESS, 1989-1993 (continued)
B. Initial Federal Subsistence Management Efforts
Federal officials, being unfamiliar with the day-to-day details of fish and game management and not knowing how long they might be entrusted with the task, were guided in their initial efforts by regulations that had been published just hours before the June 30 deadline that Chief Justice Matthews had set. These regulations, aired at the various public meetings during mid-June, were finalized later that month (as a "final temporary rule") and were published in the June 29 Federal Register. Sprawled out over more than fifty pages of that standardized government document, more than two-thirds of its contents was a compilation of specific game, fish, shellfish and trapping regulations, most of which were copied from similar state regulations. The remainder of the document, however, was an analysis of why these regulations were necessary, how they were formulated, and a general description of how federal agencies intended to manage subsistence resources. The federal government still hoped and expected that its management role would be temporarythe regulations reiterated that "it is preferable to have [subsistence fish and game] management responsibility lie with the State." To that end, government officials decided to make no initial changes to the State of Alaska's customary and traditional use determinations. In addition, the regulations were applicable only until December 31, 1991, unless the state was able to reassume subsistence management prior to that time. [18]
Key to the assumption process was the limited role that the federal government proposed over fisheries management. This role was reflected in regulations that excluded federal jurisdiction over navigable waters, which were defined as "those waters used or susceptible of being used in their ordinary condition as highways for commerce over which trade and travel are or may be conducted in the customary modes of trade and travel on water." Federal regulators explained their decision in this way:
Because Alaska's navigable waters contained virtually all of the state's habitat in which fish were typically harvested for subsistence purposes, the practical effect of the regulations language (as noted above) was that the federal government had minimal authority to manage the state's subsistence fisheries. Although the June 29, 1990 issue of the Federal Register spent many pages detailing subsistence fish and shellfish regulations, federal managers made few decisions in the fisheries arena as long as this rule held sway. [20]
A central aspect of administering the new regulations was the formation of a Federal Subsistence Board. "Empowering the key Federal land management officials," the regulations noted, "is believed to be the best mechanism for implementing these temporary regulations." As the regulations noted, the board
A key aspect of the newly-constituted board, from the NPS's point of view, was that the boardin which the NPS had only one votehad the legal authority to make resource decisions that affected the status of NPS lands. This shared authority, of course, applied to the other land management agencies as well. To some extent, this sharing of responsibility had also been felt prior to July 1990, when subsistence management decisions on federal lands had been entrusted to the state game and fish boards. Even so, the existence of the Federal Subsistence Board meant that individual agencies had to give up a measure of control. To ameliorate that loss of control, as noted later in this section, the board gave individual agencies some degree of control over their own lands by giving them lead-agency authority to respond to suggested changes in subsistence management patterns. Despite that authority, agencies participating in board decisions often had to accept management changes with which they disagreed.
Federal regulators originally proposed that the board have five members, to be composed of and either the regional or state director of important federal agencies. Four of the agenciesthe Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and National Park Servicecomprised Alaska's largest federal land managers. The fifth agency, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was chosen for two reasons: it oversaw trust responsibilities for Native Alaskans, and because Native allotments which had been selected but not conveyed (and which the BIA consequently exercised some oversight) were considered federal public lands. [22] In these aspects, the board was thus identical to what had been proposed back in May 1986, when a vote of the Alaska legislature had narrowly avoided federal assumption. From all appearances, both federal officials and the general publicvia their mid-June responses to the draft rulewere largely comfortable with the board's makeup.
The leadership in the originally-constituted board rested with one of the five agency heads; the chair was selected by the Interior Secretary in consultation with the Agriculture Secretary. The first board chair was Walter O. Stieglitz, who also served as Alaska's Fish and Wildlife Service chief; other charter board members included Boyd Evison (NPS), Niles Cesar (BIA), Edward Spang (BLM), and Michael Barton (USFS). Within a few months, however, Curtis McVee, who was Interior Secretary Lujan's Alaska representative, replaced Stieglitz as board chair, and the board thus increased from five to six members. [23] (See Appendix 1.)
The new Federal Subsistence Board, at first, had virtually no staff upon which it could rely, and only three agencies that comprised the boardNPS, F&WS, and BIAhad personnel that were trained in subsistence issues. One of the first actions following federal assumption, therefore, was a dramatic effort on the part of both the Fish and Wildlife Service (the lead agency administering the federal subsistence program) and other land management agencies to assemble qualified staff. The difficulty of this effort was underscored by the fact that such expertise might be needed for just a short-term period. Because the June 1990 regulations were specific regarding seasons and bag limits, regulations were in place for the various subsistence hunts that were scheduled to take place during the summer and fall of 1990. Staff involvement, however, was necessary to develop the remainder of the federal subsistence program. To assist the F&WS and the other three major land management agencies, Senator Ted Stevens earmarked $11.3 million in Fiscal Year 1991 appropriations "to fund the management of subsistence hunting and fishing on federal lands." The F&WS used its funds to beef up its subsistence staff, and before long, a new bureaucratic entity in the agency had been formed to address subsistence matters. [24] At the NPS, efforts by Associate Regional Director Paul Haertel helped bolster the Anchorage-based subsistence staff from just one person (Lou Waller) in early 1989 to six in late 1991. [25] (See Appendix 3.)
To assist the board in its work, the June 1990 regulations called for the formation of a staff committee that would be comprised of a representative of each of the organizations represented on the board. (See Appendix 6.) That committee, which was largely a continuation of the ad hoc federal planning group that had been meeting on a periodic basis ever since the McDowell decision had been meted out, initially consisted of Tom Boyd (BLM), Norman Howse (USFS), John Borbridge (BIA), Don Voros (F&WS), and Bob Gerhard (NPS). Members, at first, had no idea how long they would be serving in their positionsone member signed on with the understanding that he was on a two-month detailbut before long, members recognized that their work required a long-term commitment. [26]
Federal subsistence officials soon recognized that three primary tasks lay before them, all of which needed substantial public input between the summer of 1990 and the spring of 1991. One task involved the determination of rural versus non-rural areas. A second effort was a revision of specific hunting regulations for the 12-month period beginning July 1, 1991. And a third task involved finalizing other general aspects of the federal subsistence management program through the preparation of an environmental impact statement and the issuance of final regulations. The three tasks, taken together, required a huge amount of human inputby both federal officials and a wide range of interested groups and individualsin just a short time. To guide the completion of those tasks, a newly-established staff committee began meeting on a weekly basis (and sometimes more often) beginning in the late summer of 1990. Some tasks were more complex and time-consuming than others. The three efforts will be addressed in separate paragraphs below.
As noted in Chapters 5 and 6, the state fish and game boards had dealt with the prickly problem of rural versus non-rural determinations numerous times during the 1980s. In April 1982, and again in June 1986, the boards had confronted the issue head-on, and during meetings that followed each of those dates the issue periodically resurfaced. But federal authorities were by no means tied to any previous decisions made by their state counterparts, and federal and state regulations differed. The June 1990 regulations (using guidance derived from the legislative history for ANILCA) stated that "communities 7,000 or greater in population are presumed to be non-rural" and that "a community or area of less than 2,500 population is deemed rural unless it exhibits characteristics of a non-rural nature or area or is part of an urbanized area." But because "a community between 2,500 and 7,000 bears no presumption as to its rural or non-rural status," the regulations mandated that the board "publish the characteristics it will use in determining rural or non-rural status." [27] It would then make a preliminary determination for all Alaska communities; that decision would be reviewed at a series of public meetings to be held around the state. The board would make final determinationsagain, as determined by language in the regulationsby December 31, 1990.
The public process for making rural versus non-rural determinations commenced with an announcement in the September 25, 1990 Federal Register. That announcement kicked off a public comment period on the subject. A day later, based on staff recommendations, the board made its preliminary determinations, and on October 4 the list of affected communities was published in the Federal Register. The board proposed non-rural designations for Anchorage, Kenai-Soldotna, Palmer-Wasilla, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Sitka, Homer, Seward, Valdez and Adak. The rest of the state was proposed for rural status. Board chairman Walter Stieglitz, in a press release, emphasized the preliminary nature of the board's decisions, and he further announced that hearings would be held in each of the communities for which non-rural status had been proposed. The public was given until December 10 to comment on the board's proposed recommendations. [28]
Communities in many of the areas declared to be non-rural attempted to reverse the board's proposed designation, and residents were particularly active in those communities that had between 2,500 and 7,000 population. They pressed their case in speeches at either the board field hearings59 such meetings were held between October 23 and early December, all but two of which took place in Alaskaor at various state-managed Regional Advisory Council meetings. On December 17, the board met again and decided that the designation of three communitiesKodiak, Saxman (near Ketchikan), and Sitkashould be changed from non-rural to rural. The designation for all other Alaska communities remained as announced on September 26. [29] The board's decisions, as it turned out, largely mirrored the rural/non-rural determinations that the state fish and game boards had made prior to the McDowell decision; the only areas with a changed status were Adak, which switched from rural to non-rural, and both Saxman and the Cantwell-Nenana corridor, which went from non-rural to rural.
Before the board (and the staff that worked with it) completed the process of ascertaining its rural/non-rural determinations, work began on a revision of hunting regulations for the year scheduled to begin on July 1, 1991. (See Tables 7-1 and 7-2, following page.) Because of the huge workload that was immediately thrust on federal officials, the public had a fairly limited period of time in which to make suggestions regarding the following year's subsistence hunting regulations. As noted above, the board held almost sixty meetings throughout the state during the fall of 1990. One purpose of those meetings was to solicit comments about changes in the subsistence hunting regulations that had gone into effect on July 1. Alaskans, in response, made a number of suggested revisions (in either oral or written form) during that process, and the board apparently made several amendments to existing regulations during that period. In mid-December, federal officials opened a 30-day public comment perioduntil January 15, 1991for changes to the subsistence hunting regulations. The public responded with 182 proposals. Board staff discarded some proposals because they appeared to be irrelevant to the process at hand; then, during February, staff distributed the remainder to the public for their comments. The comments were forwarded on to the board and its staff, and at a four-day meeting beginning March 4, the board made its initial set of decisions. The regulations approved at the March meeting were published in the April 16, 1991 Federal Register for a 30-day comment period. Then, at a June 4-5 meeting, the board made decisions on another slate of proposals, some of which had been discarded by board staff prior to the March meeting. The new (1991-92) regulations were published in the June 26, 1991 Federal Register. [30]
Table 7-1. Federal Subsistence Hunting Regulations Chronology, 1990-1993
@ - There were no public meetings in late 1990 or early 1991 specifically related to seasons and bag limits, but between late October and early December 1990, approximately sixty meetings were held throughout Alaska "to take public comment on subsistence uses on Federal public lands in Alaska."
These meetings were to explain, and obtain comments upon, various general aspects of Federal subsistence management; and more specifically to obtain comments on proposed rural/non-rural designations. Many comments were doubtless received regarding seasons and bag limits, even though the Proposed Rule (i.e., proposed regulations) were not distributed until after the meetings had concluded.
* - The April 1991 follow-up meeting, in Anchorage, was held after the FSB meeting and eight days after the Proposed Regulations for 1991-1992 were issued in the Federal Register.

The largest job facing the board during its initial months of operationand perhaps its most visible vehicle for interacting with potential subsistence userswas the compilation of a report that would address a number of general questions pertaining to federal subsistence management. As noted above, the prickly issue of rural versus non-rural determinations had been addressed in late 1990, but many other questions remained. For instance, how adequate was the present, state-managed system of local fish and game committees and regional subsistence advisory councils? How should the term "customary and traditional," when applied to the use of fish and wildlife, be defined? Did existing regulations properly address the environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts of subsistence activities? And what other topics pertaining to federal subsistence management needed to be addressed? Federal authorities fully recognized that the temporary subsistence regulations, finalized in June 1990, had (by necessity) been prepared in haste, and they also recognized that those same regulations would only be applicable until December 31, 1991. Federal authorities, of course, still had no idea if the Alaska legislature would be able to pass a bill authorizing the state to regain subsistence management of its fish and game resources on federal lands, and they continued to state that they had no particular interest in direct fish and game management. Even so, they had to prepare for the possibility of long-term management responsibilities. In order to address a broad range of management questions, Federal Subsistence Board staff undertook the preparation of an environmental impact statement that would outline several possible management approaches.
The process began in mid-October 1990, when a Fish and Wildlife Service press release announced that work on the EIS was about to begin. Just days after the issuance of that press release, the first of 57 public meetings were held in communities across Alaska asking for comments about the federal subsistence management system. (These meetings, noted above, also solicited comments about rural/non-rural determinations.) The public meetings, held between late October and early December, were attended by a total of 1,690 people, and the public responded with 206 written comments, 91 comment forms, and 28 toll-free telephone calls. Federal officials were thus provided a broad range of views on how subsistence resources should be managed on the state's public lands. These comments, together with the existing regulations and input from the various land managing agencies, provided board staff the data necessary to compile the draft EIS. [31] The document was assembled over a nine month period by an interdisciplinary team; most of the fourteen authors were Fish and Wildlife Service employees, although a sprinkling of Forest Service, Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management employees also contributed. [32]
One of the major issues that board staff wrestled with during the preparation of the draft EIS was the adequacy of the state's subsistence advisory councils. (See Appendix 2.) As noted in chapters 5 and 6, the Alaska legislature had first passed a bill recommending regional fish and game decisionmaking back in 1971; Governor Egan, however, had vetoed that bill. Eight years later, the Department of Fish and Game had established the first such councils, and they had been placed on a more formal regulatory footing by action of the combined fish and game boards in April 1982. But because of both fiscal constraints and a multitude of other factors, the various councils had a spotty track record.
On July 1, 1990, the assumption of federal management forced officials to reassess the legitimacy of the state-managed councils. Responding to the requirement set forth in Part 100.11(a) of the temporary (June 1990) federal subsistence regulations, the Federal Subsistence Board commissioned a study in order to ascertain how problems associated with the councils might be overcome. Fish and Wildlife Service employees Richard Marshall and Larry Peterson, assigned to write the study, used the hundreds of comments made during the fall 1990 public hearingsmany of which addressed this specific topicas a primary research tool.
Board chair Curtis McVee, asked for his comments, stated that the councils "are functioning with varying degrees of success. Apparently some councils are not regarded as representative of the population within the region they serve. Some councils do not seem to have much influence on management programs and all of the councils suffer from lack of financial support necessary to fulfill their roles." [33] McVee, in a separate communication, also let it be known that the councils, until such time as the report was completed, were in legal limbo. Although several regional councils continued to meet, McVee announced that "no State Regional Council," for the time being, "shall be considered legitimately constituted under the Federal Advisory Committee Act and Section 805 of ANILCA." Interior Department representative Vernon Wiggins expressed similar thoughts. As a "strictly interim measure," he noted, the board continued to rely on recommendations made by councils under the existing state advisory system," but only "until the study was completed and pending a final determination on whether a permanent management program would become necessary." [34]
The authors completed a draft report on the state's advisory council system in early May 1991 and a final report was distributed in September. Because the June 1990 regulations demanded that three topics be examined, the authors provided three conclusions:
The draft Environmental Impact Statement, distributed during the week of October 7-11, 1991, gave four contrasting scenarios on how federal subsistence management might work.
The alternatives in the draft EIS discussed other subsistence-related topics as well. Two of the alternatives, for example, stated that the rural/non-rural determinations made by the board in December 1990 should remain. Another, however, stated that eligibility "would be determined strictly by population number," and only residents in communities less than 7,000 population would be eligible for subsistence activities on federal lands. A final alternative stated that "Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and Ketchikan would be the only non-rural communities." Regarding customary and traditional uses, all four alternatives stated that the State of Alaska's determinations, which the board had adopted en masse on July 1, 1990, "would remain ... unless changed by the board on the recommendation of a local advisory committee [or regional council] or based on information obtained through State or Federal Agency research." All four alternatives called for a continuation of the existing local fish and game advisory committees; language describing Alternative IV, however, cautioned that "Federal advisory committees might be formed if the Board determined that the State committees were not fulfilling the requirements of ANILCA." [36]
When the Board issued the draft EIS, it gave the public two monthsuntil December 9to submit comments. Hoping to solicit a wide range of public opinion, it outlined a schedule of forty public hearings, which were to be held both throughout Alaska as well as in Washington, D.C. Hearings were to begin on October 28 and would conclude on December 6. When the board issued the draft EIS, chair Curtis McVee professed objectivity in the process. NEPA policy, however, required a preferred alternative. The draft EIS, therefore, noted that the fourth option (as outlined above) was the government's Proposed Action. [37]
Interest in the process was such that the board held a total of forty-two public hearings, and in addition, the Fish and Wildlife Service held sixteen public meetings at National Wildlife Refuge offices. As a result of those meetings, which attracted hundreds of participants, the public submitted 198 letters plus an additional 350-plus oral comments which merited an official response. [38]
Because the hearings schedule extended into late November, and because the public had several additional weeks to submit comments, board personnel were well awareeven before the draft EIS was distributedthat new, permanent regulations would not be in place prior to the December 31, 1991 deadline stated in the temporary subsistence management regulations. The need to extend, for five or six months, the effective date of the temporary regulations was first (and erroneously) made public in early June 1991, but it was not officially addressed until early December. The press release announcing the proposed delay noted that "this action will allow time for completion of an environmental impact statement and programmatic regulations," but it was also hoped that the delay would also allow extra time for Governor Walter Hickel to "work out a cooperative agreement to let the state regain subsistence hunting management." The board noted that it would be taking comment on the time extension at its December 18, 1991 meeting. Comments would be due by December 20. [39]
Soon after the December 9 deadline for public comments to the draft EIS, federal staff proceeded to analyze those comments and quickly began assembling the final EIS. On January 30, 1992, proposed final subsistence regulations were published in the Federal Register, and five days later the board commenced a 45-day public comment period that would continue to March 16. [40] But the two-volume final EIS was not distributed until late February; this left the public fewer than three weeks to comment on the findings contained in the newly-published document. [41]
The recommendations contained in the final EIS largely mirrored those contained in Alternative IV (the "Proposed Action") in the draft document. Like the draft, the final EIS recommended the continuation of a six-member board and the establishment of eight federally-managed subsistence regional advisory councils. Local advisory committees, as in the draft, would be managed by the state, but federally-sponsored committees could be formed if the existing committees failed to fulfill the requirements outlined in Section 805 of ANILCA. The document made numerous other recommendations, most of which had first been suggested in the draft version published four months earlier. [42]
Regulations specified that there would be a thirty-day waiting period between the publication of the final EIS (as noted in the Federal Register) and the all-important Record of Decision. [43] Following the issuance of the EIS, the board had a single public hearingat the Board's March 9 meeting in Anchorage. The public then had one more weekuntil March 16to provide written comments on the EIS's recommendations.
On April 6, soon after the 30-day waiting period had run its course, Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan, Jr., with the concurrence of Forest Service Regional Director Mike Barton, approved the Record of Decision on Alaskan subsistence management. [44] The two men decided "to implement Alternative IV as identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement ... with modifications." Two modifications were made. First, the officials decided to increase the number of regionsand corresponding regional advisory councilsfrom eight to ten. Second, they decided to modify the rural determination process by allowing a five-year grace period for any communities transitioning from rural to non-rural status. Except for those modifications, the federal subsistence program was to be implemented as noted in Alternative IV.
To conform to the particulars of that alternative, the board's regulations were modified. Those regulationswhich listed various customary and traditional use determinations for game, fish, and shellfish throughout Alaskawere published as a Final Rule in the May 29, 1992 Federal Register. They became effective on July 1, 1992. [45] Two years after the federal government assumed management of Alaska's subsistence resources on the public lands, permanent federal regulations were in place.
During the period in which the draft and final EISs were being written and the Record of Decision produced, the board and supporting staff completed a second round of hearings and deliberations pertaining to subsistence hunting regulations (as they pertained to seasons and bag limits, methods and means). The board, as it had in 1990-91, began its annual regulations cycle by publishing proposed regulations in December. Then, in mid-January 1992, it held six public hearings in locations scattered around the state. By the January 23 deadline, the board had received some 200 proposals to change the regulations, and during the week of April 6-10 the body voted on how to respond to each proposal. The regulations, as modified, were published in the May 28, 1992 Federal Register and became effective on July 1. Unless otherwise acted upon, the regulations were to remain in force until June 30, 1993. [46]
By the time the board had completed its second annual review of subsistence regulations, basic board customs and procedures had begun to emerge in order to expedite the completion of the tasks at hand. Staff, for example, assigned each proposal to the agency which would be most affected by the proposed action, and in many cases, other agencies deferred to the opinions of the representative from the so-called "lead agency". The F&WS representative, perhaps not surprisingly, was generally regarded as being most knowledgeable about wildlife biology questions (and was thus deferred to in this area), and the BIA representativeagain not surprisinglygenerally weighed in on the side of Native rights. Early board representatives recall that these evolving customs fostered a sense of harmony among the various agency heads. [47]
The federal assumption of subsistence game management, at first glance, removed any obligation for the Interior Department to subsidize ADF&G's Subsistence Division. (As noted in Chapters 5 and 6, Section 805 of ANILCA called for the federal government to reimburse the state government for costs associated with the management of subsistence activities on federal lands.) But immediately after federal assumption, federal officials recognized the obvious: that they could be far more effective managers if they utilized the ADF&G's experience, data, and technical expertise. Both federal agencies and the public started submitting requests to the ADF&G for information and technical assistance. By the end of 1990, the ADF&G and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the latter acting on behalf of the Federal Subsistence Board) had worked out a one-year agreement that called for the ADF&G to provide three general areas of expertise: 1) technical assistance to and coordination with federal staff, 2) subsistence data collection in rural Alaska communities, and 3) maintenance and updating of ADF&G's Community Profile Database (CPDB). In return for those products and services, F&WS provided more than $230,000 in funding to the Department's Subsistence Division. (This funding was less than one-third of what the federal government had provided in fiscal year 1990 as part of its "ANILCA reimbursement," but was nevertheless a helpful source of funding for the state's beleaguered Subsistence Division.) The federal-state agreement was renewed on an annual basis for the next several years, but the federal government gradually lost interest in the program, and by the mid-1990s funding levels were far lower than in fiscal year 1991. But other funds became available to the state subsistence program from both the F&WS and other federal agencies. Some of these monies were interagency funds that were channeled, during the early 1990s, through Exxon Valdez restoration allotments, but individual agenciesincluding the NPSalso provided funding to state personnel as part of specific agency projects. [48]
A significant by-product of the federal government's decision to establish federally-sponsored regional advisory councils was the State of Alaska's decision to abandon its own, ten-year-old regional council system. As noted above, the McDowell decision had no immediate impact on the existing regional council system, and for more than two years after that decision various regional councils continued to meet. As in the late 1980s, however, some councils were more active than others; the Southeast and Interior councils, for example, continued to meet on a regular basis and submit annual reports, while the Western and Southwest councils, for all practical purposes, were dormant. By the fall of 1991, the publication of the board's draft EIS (which advocated a federally-sponsored regional advisory council system as its preferred alternative) forced ADF&G personnel to recognize that the new system, if implemented, would largely usurp the role that the state-sponsored councils had long undertaken. And perhaps in response to the EIS's recommendation, cuts were proposed in the Division of Boards' budget that promised to eliminate the regional councils. Members of the various councils, not surprisingly, fought both the proposed cuts and the draft EIS's preferred alternative, and as late as March 1992 members of the Interior Council were laying plans for future meetings. But the issuance of the Record of Decision in April apparently forced ADF&G officials to sever funding to the state-sponsored regional councils. All ceased operating in June 1992, at the end of the state's fiscal year. [49]

libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, and ARM systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface.1,782 weekly downloads

So the first spring 2010 fashion trend starting to come out of hiding – camouflage prints.
Khaki and camo rock the military inspired clothing. … pants to military jackets to cargo pants, and camouflage print dresses. Even Converse runners.
But if you're like me and not quite into jumping on this trend then take Balmain's lead "patching together seventies M*A*S*H and early Versace chain-mailed goddess-dressing…from camouflage to sequined camouflage to patchworked gold-sequined camouflage without a flicker of irony or the slightest fear of treading on politically sensitive ground (Elle)."
I'm scared to see all the camo leggings that will likely appear, but I have to say this Kenzo dress is pretty fun.
