Well, we have a lot to catch up on. My kids had 4 weeks (!) off school for the holidays and I don't have a nanny so its been hard to post. This past week, Zach went back to school on Wednesday, and on Thursday Coco flew to France with her class of 10 girls to live and study in a chateau for 12 weeks! The packing - not to mention the emotional preparation - for her leaving for that long was endless. I managed not to cry at the airport (although Coco gave me permission to do so as long as I wasn't the first one!), but I collapsed into my bed the next day, and, at long last, today is my first day back in action.
So where should we start? Oh yeah. Christmas.

As a baseball stadium, it was perhaps the worst in the majors by 2003. As a place of excitement, intrigue, and memories, it was perhaps the best! Despite a disappointing end to a promising season, no fan left a late-season game without a bittersweet mix of emotions, as an era of Philadelphia sports history was coming to a close. This poster celebrates the final moment of the Veterans Stadium era - the last pitch heading home, a Jason Marquis fastball that Chase Utley turned into a double play groundout. Out with the old, in with the new - no one will miss baseball at the Vet, but it was quite a ride!
Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there, as 58,554 fans prepared to exit the crumbling monster one last time. It's all here - the scoreboards, the championship commemorative baseballs beyond the left-field wall, the retired numbers behind the right-field wall (#42 Jackie Robinson, #36 Robin Roberts, #32 Steve Carlton, #1 Richie Ashburn, #20 Mike Schmidt, #14 Jim Bunning, Pete Alexander, Chuck Klein), the championship seasons beyond the left-field wall, the fans in the stands, the action on the field, and, of course, the giant replica Liberty Bell in dead Center! Phillies fans, you may not be sad to see it gone, but you will still want to remember your beloved Veterans Stadium. Perfect for the wall of any true fan!

World Champion has second title in his grasp... Massa clash ends Webber's race early... Schuey and Lewis put on a show... Bruno puts the Senna name back in the World Championship points
The eighth victory of Sebastian Vettel's 2011 season has put the 24-year-old German within touching distance of back-to-back World Championship successes, opening up a 112-point gap with only six races remaining.
Vettel laid the foundations for victory with another brilliant qualifying performance, taking his 10th pole position of the year at a track where historically Red Bull has been vulnerable. With 25 career poles already, Vettel has only seven drivers ahead of him on the all-time pole-winners' list.
"It was an emotional win today," said Vettel, who announced his arrival on the world stage with a stunning first pole and first win for Scuderia Toro Rosso at Monza in 2008.
"This circuit means such a lot to me and is very special. I had my first win here, so when I crossed the line I remembered every single bit of it. The podium is absolutely unbelievable here; when you stand up there you feel blessed, as it doesn't happen to many people."
Not so blessed was his Australian Red Bull teammate Mark Webber, who has never finished higher than sixth at Monza. The 35-year-old suffered more Italian disappointment when he clashed with Felipe Massa's Ferrari after just five of the 53 laps, relegating him to fourth in the drivers' standings.
Jenson Button, second for McLaren, and Fernando Alonso, who held off Button's teammate Lewis Hamilton to finish third for Ferrari, leap-frogged Webber, with Alonso now second to Vettel on 172 points to the German's 284.
The final race of the European season started dramatically when back-marker Vitantonio Liuzzi got his HRT on to the grass on the right of the run down towards Turn 1 and the car simply accelerated sideways, taking out a clutch of other runners as they negotiated the chicane.
The Safety Car came out immediately as Alonso led the field, but as soon as it was withdrawn Vettel pounced to take a lead he would never lose. Webber too seemed to have made hay on the restart, sweeping past Button, but an attempted move round the outside into the first corner came to grief when Massa closed the door at the left-handed exit.
"I got a good run down the straight and tried to go round the outside," said Webber after his first non-finish since Korea last October. "Then I thought, 'I maybe need to get out of here' and I started to bale but the kerbs there are so high." Trying to return to the pits, the Australian merely succeeded in tucking broken bodywork under the car's nose and lost his steering completely.
From then on, as Vettel streaked away to win by nearly 10 seconds, the main interest was in an enthralling fight between Michael Schumacher's Mercedes and the similarly-engined McLaren of Hamilton.
On lap 13 the Englishman wrested third place from the German veteran only to lose it immediately as the Silver Arrow proved its speed in the first sector. Three laps later Schumacher's robust defence saw Hamilton put his right wheels on the grass, and as the dice continued the seven-time World Champion was twice reminded by team principal Ross Brawn to leave his fellow-competitor room.
At half-distance Hamilton was through, but not before Schumacher had reminded everyone of his competitive streak: "The fighting against Lewis was big fun, and my mirrors seemed to be very small at times," he admitted. "We are both known for driving on the limit, and that is what we did. I had to make my car as wide as a truck, and had to stretch the possible as much as I could, but in the end, as expected, he was still faster."
Massa recovered from his collision with Webber to finish sixth ahead of Jaime Alguersuari, claiming his best-ever finish in an increasingly competitive Toro Rosso despite starting 18th. "I am very happy with my race today. I think I would like to start even further back on the grid for the next one, because it seems that whenever I have a poor grid position, I finish in the points!" said the 21-year-old who last week released his first album of electronic music made in his home studio.
The closing laps saw Bruno Senna pass Alguersuari's Sébastien Buemi and come within touching distance of Paul di Resta's Force India before finally settling for ninth. The two points were the Brazilian's first in the World Championship – and the first since his legendary uncle Ayrton won the 1993 Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide.
The first-corner drama contributed to an unusually low 2011 number of 15 finishers, the biggest casualty being Nico Rosberg's Mercedes, while Australia's Daniel Ricciardo got to lap 39 before his HRT cried 'Enough'. The next round is the Singapore Grand Prix on September 25 – the first of six 'fly-away' races in an arduous finish to a season that has looked increasingly easy for Sebastian Vettel. As Webber observed wryly, "I think we're all battling for second now..."

4-Module Briarwood Watch Winder with Watch Storage Trays - Rotobox by Underwood
Precision 4-module automatic watch winders with hand-crafted briarwood veneer and dual compartment trays.
Inside the Rotobox automatic watch winders.
Everyone knows that at the heart of every good watch winder is a technologically superior motor. Which is why, for its top line of industry-leading watch winders, Underwood chooses motors from the Swiss company Maxon Motor AG, one of the world's leading providers of this type of motor technology. Maxon also supplies 39 of the 43 motors used to power the NASA "Spirit" and "Opportunity" Mars rovers.
High-quality Maxon A-max DC motors, featuring high-performance permanent magnets, power all Underwood winders. At the heart of every Maxon motor is the worldwide patented, ironless rotor "the System Maxon." This motor concept has many specific technical advantages, which for Underwood result in a low-noise, highly efficient motor with low power consumption.
Rotobox automatic watch winders winding cycle.
The most important feature of any watch winder is just that--the winding function. Underwood winders are programmed at optimal 4-hour repeating winding intervals: 30 minutes of clockwise rotation, followed by 30 minutes of counterclockwise rotation and then 3 hours of rest. The result is a 24-hour cycle, making Underwood watch winders ideal for all automatic watches, whether heirloom or modern. With an Underwood winder, your precision watches are ready to wear at a moment's notice.
Each Underwood winder operates on AC adapter (included) or battery power. LED lights indicate when your unit is operational (even during rest cycles) or when your batteries need replacing.
Elegant is the word for this Rotobox automatic watch winder.
Underwood watch winders are housed in the finest materials available. This winder is crafted from hand-picked premium woods with a briarwood veneer. Each case is accented with solid brass fittings decorated with the "Clou de Paris" found on all Underwood products. Two compartment trays hold watches, jewelry and accessories. Glass cover locks with key for security.
This watch winder safely and accurately winds all major-brand watches, including: Rolex, Tag Heuer, IWC, Breitling, Oris, Omega, Zenith, Montblanc, Cartier, Blancpain, Patek Philippe, Bell & Ross, A Lange Sohne, Hublot, Ulysse Nardin, Longiness, Jager Le Coultre, Maurice Lacroix, Audemars Piguet, Baume Mercier, Panerai, Raymond Weil, Parmigiani, Frank Muller, Corum, Girard-Perregaux, Bovet, Greubel Forsey, Breguet

Recipe by Angie
"Tangy marinated chicken and mushrooms, wrapped in bacon and skewered. Excellent for entertaining and trying something new! These are a must-try! (They can also be broiled instead of grilled, if you're low on time.)"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
soy sauce
1/4 cup
cider vinegar
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
canola oil
10 large
mushrooms, cut in half
green onions, minced
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into chunks
1/2 pound
sliced thick cut bacon, cut in half
1 (8 ounce) can
pineapple chunks, drained
This went over really well when we had friends over for a BBQ. One thing I would change is that I would just use regular bacon instead of the thick cut. I ran out of thick cut and used a few strips of regular and found them a lot easier to wrap with, and they cooked better. Other than that small change, I will definitely do this again!
This recipe tasted ok but needs so many modifications and takes so long to prepare that I'm afraid it only gets 2 stars. Here are the changes I'd definitely make before making this recipe again: 1. Use fresh pineapple. 2. Marinate overnight and separate meat and veggies (if the mushrooms don't get hot enough, the bacteria from the raw chicken may not be killed.) 3. Make at least twice the sauce and save some for dipping. 4. Use small whole mushrooms. 5. I'd prefer no bacon next time.

ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!!! A+++. VERY easy to make. I mixed the marinade (which I doubled to be sure to cover all the chicken) threw in the chicken and let it marinate for 5 hours. I put some crushed garlic (just smash the garlic clove with a knife or bottom of a pan) into the marinade to give it a little kick. I also added grape tomatoes, onions and green bellpeppers to the skewers because we love grilled veggies over here. SOOOOO easy for those who don't have a lot of time in the kitchen. Just throw together all the ingredients and marinate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!! I am going to try it with sirloin next time. A+++ job Angie!!
This is an awesome recipe. From reading other reviewers comments, I'd like to add that if you boil your bacon for about 5 minutes before you wrap your chicken, it cooks more evenly and won't burn before the chicken is finished. Also for those who like a little kick, add a slice of pickled jalapeno inside each kabob. The sweetness of the honey and the kick of jalapeno are a great combo
I never knew Shish Kabobs could taste this good! My whole family loved it! While making it, we found it was easiest to put the chicken into a plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. (same thing with the mushrooms in a seperate bag). We actually made twice the amount of marinade- which made it incredible. TRY THIS ONE AT HOME! You won't regret it!
This is an absolutely wonderful recipe!! It has become one of our favorites. I would change nothing. The only hint I might pass on is that we do the chicken on one skewer and the veg on the other so that we can get the bacom crisp;we had trouble doing that when we grilled them together.
I doubled the sauce so that I could use some of it to marinade the mushrooms seperately. With the mushrooms - I also marinated some chopped red/green bell peppers. This addition was not only tasty but added GREAT colors to the kabobs. As I was pulling these off the grill, I heard my roommate hollar "WHOA!" = Instantly, I thought he had burnt himself but instead - he was sneaking a cooked chicken peice off the skewer before dinner to "taste-test" (as he puts it) and it was SOOO tasty, he couldn't help but cry out! He also told half of his softball team about the kabobs and now they all want to come over to try some this weekend after their softball tournaments!! We are very pleased with this recipe and I will make this again! Thanks Angie!
excellent - I would recommend marinating it for 2 hours at least. I added boiler onions, cherry tomatoes and squash. The recipe says that it makes 6 servings- maybe with rice or a side dish otherwise it makes two large servings.

Lower Green Bay and Fox River Area of Concern
Lake Michigan
Latest News
September 2012 — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin work on a long-planned restoration project involving the Cat Islands Chain in lower Green Bay, Wis.
The Corps is partnering with EPA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Brown County and the state of Wisconsin, using a variety of funding sources, to restore the barrier island chain washed away in the 1970s by high water levels, waves and ice.
The project involves constructing 4.3 miles of stone dike ranging from four to eight feet high on Green Bay lake bed and installing concrete culverts for circulation between islands. This will constitute a dredged material disposal facility, DMDF, with 20 years of capacity for the sediments from the lower portion of the navigation channel. Contaminated material from the upper portion of the bay channel will continue to be placed in the nearby Bay Port facility.
Dredged materials deposited in the Cat Island DMDF over the coming years will gradually build three islands, expected to foster vegetation and habitat for fish and wildlife.
The goal of restoring the islands is to provide beneficial use for dredged materials removed from Green Bay and strengthen the lower Green Bay ecosystem while fostering the diversity of habitat for migratory birds and various fish species. Additional expected benefits include enhancing spawning grounds for fish, creating fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities for the public.
The Lower Green Bay and Fox River Area of Concern consists of the lower 11.2 km of the Fox River below DePere Dam and a 55 km2 area of southern Green Bay out to Point au Sable and Long Tail Point. The drainage area encompasses portions of eighteen counties in Wisconsin and 40 watersheds of the Upper Fox River, Wolf River and the Fox River Basins, including the largest inland lake in Wisconsin, Lake Winnebago and its pool lakes. While water quality problems and public use restrictions are most severe in the AOC, water resources of the entire basin are affected by runoff pollution from urban and rural areas, municipal and industrial wastewater discharges and degraded habitats. Eleven use impairments have been documented and two are suspected of being impaired.
Reversing the hypereutrophic conditions in the river and bay is a top priority for the AOC. The LGB/Fox Science and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) has formed a Strategic Data Acquisition Task Force to begin assembling information needed to develop a TMDL for the Fox-Wolf River Basin.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- Tainting of fish and wildlife flavor
- Degradation of fish and wildlife populations
- Fish tumors or other deformities
- Degradation of aesthetics
- Degradation of benthos
- Restriction on dredging activities
- Loss of fish and wildlife habitat
- Bird or animal deformities or reproductive problems
- Eutrophication or undesirable algae
- Restrictions on drinking water consumption, or taste and odor
- Beach closings
- Degradation of phytoplankton and zooplankton populations
- Added cost to agriculture and industry
The two main impaired desired uses of the AOC are shore and water use. Fishing, boating, swimming, hunting and passive recreation have been restricted. Fish and fish-eating bird reproduction are impaired. Consumption advisories warn against eating mallard ducks and fish of twelve species. Shipping and navigation in the harbor and channel have been impaired due to the high cost of dredging and contaminated sediment disposal. The harbor must be dredged to a depth of 24 feet to allow deep-draft navigation.
Restrictions on Fish & Wildlife Consumption
Consumption advisories warn against eating mallard ducks and fish of twelve species.
Degradation of Fish & Wildlife Populations
There have been population declines in waterfowl, furbearers and endangered colonial-nesting water birds.
Bird or Animal Deformities or Reproductive Problems
Fish and fish-eating bird reproduction are impaired.
Restrictions on Dredging Activities
Shipping and navigation in the harbor and channel have been impaired due to the high cost of dredging and contaminated sediment disposal. The harbor must be dredged to a depth of 24 feet to allow deep-draft navigation.
Beach Closings
The two main impaired desired uses of the AOC are shore and water use. Fishing, boating, swimming, hunting and passive recreation have been restricted.
RAP Development and Status
The Lower Green Bay RAP was developed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) using a multi-stakeholder partnership with other agencies, local governments, scientists, citizens, industries and environmental groups. More than 75 people participated for two years on four technical advisory committees and a citizen's advisory committee for development of this community-based plan. The technical advisory committees developed reports identifying the problems, goals and objectives for management and technical solutions to restore the bay and river. The citizen's advisory committee identified the ten most pressing problems that should be addressed in the RAP, defined a "desired future state" for lower Green Bay and the Fox River and advised on recommended remedial actions. The RAP was completed in 1987 and adopted as part of Wisconsin's Water Quality Management Plan in 1988. Nearly two-thirds of the RAP's 120 recommended actions have been initiated. The RAP is viewed as a "living" document and will be updated regularly. Implementation and updating of the RAP is facilitated by WDNR using a Green Bay RAP Public Advisory Committee, a Science and Technical Advisory Committee and a Public Education and Participation Advisory Committee. In addition, two nonprofit organizations have been established by community leaders to promote implementation of nonpoint source pollution controls (Great Lakes Nonpoint Abatement Coalition) and to determine the most cost-effective actions to meet the goals of the RAP (Northeast Wisconsin Waters for Tomorrow, Inc.)
Significant RAP Milestones
- Since 1988: 38 of the 120 recommended remedial actions have been implemented
- 1988: RAP was adopted as part of Wisconsin's Water Quality Management Plan
- 1987: RAP was completed in 1987
RAP Implementation
Since 1988, 38 of the 120 recommended remedial actions have been implemented. Another 57 remedial actions have been initiated, but need more effort and 25 actions have had little or no progress. Many of the actions completed have been short-term, lower cost projects that demonstrate an immediate environmental result or institutional commitment to the RAP. Presented below are highlights of RAP implementation and resource improvements.
Fox River Damage Assessment
EPA has proposed to list the area as a superfund site. Remediation will take place under a $10 million agreement with the 7 paper mills in the area. Under the agreement, work is progressing to finish a PCB risk assessment and whole river clean up plan, an evaluation of the PCB transport and fate models and two sediment deposit cleanup projects. Pre-design studies have been completed, feasibility studies are underway and cleanup is scheduled for next year under the cleanup projects. One of the demonstration cleanups is being funded under the agreement and another with a combination of U.S. EPA, state and industry money.
Dredge Soil Disposal Plan
The RAP is working cooperatively with the port of Green Bay on a dredge soil disposal plan for disposal and beneficial reuse of dredged material. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a feasibility study on use of clean dredged materials for habitat island construction in southern Green Bay. The RAP's Biota and Habitat Committee proposed this project to the port and is working with the port and the Corps on the feasibility study and engineering designs. The Biota and Habitat Committee has also designed a habitat enhancement project for a new marina at the mouth of the Fox River. The RAP committee is working cooperatively with the marina developers to design and cost-share the work.
Nonpoint Source Pollution Abatement
Work is progressing on nonpoint source pollution abatement in the large drainage basin (6,400 mi2) within the AOC. There are thirteen priority watershed projects in the basin addressing nutrient, soil, pesticide and urban runoff pollution.
Actions to Reduce Toxicity
- EPA, WDNR and others completed the $13 million Green Bay and Fox River Mass Balance Studies in 1993 to determine the extent of PCB contamination from Lake Winnebago to Green Bay and model the fate and transport of PCBs in the river and bay system.
- Wisconsin Legislature passed the Harbors and Bays Act funding for sediment remediation in 1990.
- WDNR formed a Sediment Management and Remedial Techniques Program in 1989 to inventory statewide contaminated sediment and demonstrate effective remedial techniques.
- WDNR completed the Little Lake Butte des Morts demonstration project feasibility study for evaluating remedial options for a sediment deposit containing 716 kg PCBs in 1993.
- WDNR entered into a cooperative effort with 30 representatives of industry, county and municipal government and municipal publicly-owned treatment works in the Fox Valley to develop a cost effective remediation schedule for contaminated sediments in the 60 km (37 miles) of lower Fox River. In 1993-94, the group prioritized sites in 60 km of the river and initiated remedial investigations and feasibility studies on four sites.
- WDNR and the state adopted new water quality standards for toxic substances in 1990 to protect human health, fish and aquatic life and wild and domestic animals. The state anti-degradation policy for new discharges to Great Lakes waters was also revised.
- Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District ($69 million), the city of Appleton ($69 million), the Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District, the city of Oshkosh ($15 million) and the Village of Pulaski ($4.5 million) have completed facility upgrades to reduce pollutant loadings.
- Further reductions in air emissions are expected with implementation of the Clean Air Act.
- WDNR is developing new rules for stormwater permits for industries and municipalities to address urban nonpoint source pollution. East River Priority Watershed project has an urban stormwater component. City of Appleton is developing a stormwater management plan.
- 262 chemical spills have been cleaned up in the Fox River Basin.
- Cleanup of 582 leaking underground storage tank cases in the lower Fox River Basin is ongoing.
Actions to Reduce Phosphorus and Suspended Solids
In September 1999, the Nutrient and Sediment Management Work Group of the Science and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) met to review the original Lower Fox River/Green Bay RAP recommendations regarding proposed reductions in phosphorus (P) and total suspended solids (TSS, including sediments) for current applicability. Of primary interest was the technical basis for the original recommendations of 1988 (and subsequent recommendations in the 1993 RAP update in order to sanction their use in a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process for the Lower Fox River Geographic Management Unit (GMU, or Basin).
- Progress has been made in reductions of external phosphorus loads to the AOC. Since the late 1970s, point source loads in the Lower Fox River drainage basin have been reduced by 84%. However, average summer total P concentrations in the AOC have decreased over the same period by only 32% (from 206 µg/l in the 1970s to 141 µg/l in the 1990s). Summer averages of chlorophyll a decreased in this period by about 38%, but Secci disc values have remained steady at around 0.5 m since the 1970s. (Source: Nutrient and Sediment Management in the Fox-Wolf Basin - White Paper, Science and Technical Advisory Committee)
- Between 1970 and 1990, municipal point source control efforts (discharge permits) decreased total phosphorus loadings from 370,000 kg/yr to 60,000 kg/yr.
- Publicly-owned treatment works for Green Bay, DePere and Neenah-Menasha have voluntarily reduced total phosphorus discharges and have evaluated capabilities to achieve a 0.5 mg/l effluent phosphorus concentration.
- In 1992, an administrative rule was adopted which extends the 1 mg/l phosphorus limit for large municipalities to many industries and small municipalities.
- Comprehensive nonpoint source pollution abatement projects have been initiated in four of the twelve highest priority watersheds and in two of the moderate priority watersheds. Landowners, local governments and WDNR cooperate to achieve project objectives which include protection of Big Green Lake (completed $1.1 million project); reduction of phosphorus loading from East River Watershed by 70% and sediment loading by 50% ($23.8 million); reduction of phosphorus loading from Lake Winnebago-East by 40% and sediment by 50% ($2.6 million); reduction of phosphorus and sediment loadings by 50% from Arrowhead-Daggets Creeks ($2-3 million); and development of inventories for Neenah Creek and Waupaca-Tomorrow Rivers to determine potential load reductions.
- Fifty landowners cut phosphorus fertilizer use by 36,360 kg in 1992 through the Soil Conservation Service East River Water Quality Demonstration Project.
- A state model ordinance has been developed for construction site erosion control. A model ordinance for stormwater runoff is under development. As of 1993, six local governments are considering or have adopted ordinances. New state legislation requires local erosion control ordinances for 1-2 family developments.
- Brown County has expanded its shoreland/floodplain zoning ordinance to require agricultural setbacks from perennial streams.
- As of February 1993, 33,120 m of stream shoreline in Brown County were protected from livestock with the cooperation of 76 property owners. An estimated 36,290 metric tons of soil erosion was prevented, correcting 65% of the problems caused by livestock along those streams.
- All counties in the Fox/Wolf Basin, except Waushara, have adopted animal waste management ordinances (58 animal waste management applications processed; 68 waste management plans prepared from 1990-1993).
- 52,300 ha have been enrolled in a Farmland Preservation program for Brown County. The amount of land enrolled in the Federal Conservation Reserve Program as a result of expanding the eligibility to croplands adjacent to streams includes: Brown County (526 ha); Calumet County (2,023 ha); Fond du Lac County (283 ha); Outagamie County (2,023 ha) and Winnebago County (4,210 ha).
Actions to Enhance Fish, Wildlife and Habitat
- Muskellunge have been reintroduced to increase predator fish and control problem fish (fingerlings stocked: 10,000 in 1989; 1,283 in 1990; 2,624 in 1991 and 2,259 in 1992).
- 335 m of walleye spawning habitat was created at three Fox River sites in 1990.
- A permanent barrier to sea lamprey migration was constructed in 1988 by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and WDNR at Rapide Croche Dam.
- 68 ha of wetlands have been acquired within the West Shore Wildlife Area and 46 ha north of Duck Creek.
- U.S. EPA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the RAP Biota and Habitat Committee used wetland inventories to identify critical wetlands and habitats for protection and enhancement (completed in 1993).
- 20 private pothole wetlands have been restored in the Fox River Basin (4.2 ha).
Actions to Monitor Ecosystem Changes
Considerable resources are expended on an annual basis to monitor contaminant levels, trophic status, fish population trends and harvests, macroinvertebrates, waterfowl use, public attitudes, human uses, etc.
Actions to Improve Public Access and Recreational Opportunities
- The Green Bay Metropolitan Boat Launch expansion was completed in 1993.
- The Duck Creek access site was improved in 1993 (boat launch, handicapped-accessible fishing pier, picnic area, boardwalk).
- A new boat launch was built on the east side of Fox River in DePere in 1991.
- Access was also improved at Fox River Walkway, East River Parkway, Ashwaubenon Creek, Sauamico and Bay Beach Park.
- Improvements to Voyageur Park in DePere include shoreline fishing facilities with handicapped-accessible areas, expanded park trails and construction of two fish spawning reefs.
Actions to Improve Public Awareness and Participation
Considerable, on-going efforts are underway. Examples include a "Water Action Volunteers" monitoring project in the Green Bay School System; the annual "Clean Bay Backer" awards; RAP and water quality education exhibits at the Green Bay Metropolitan Boat Launch and Neville Public Museum; a RAP exhibit at area expositions like the Home and Garden Show and Sports Fishing Show; an annual River/Bay Cleanup Day and development of a mass media campaign for nonpoint source pollution prevention using an animated team of characters called the "Clean Bay Backers."
Actions to Further Pollution Prevention
In the Green Bay AOC, local efforts are underway by the WDNR, citizen advisors, University of Wisconsin Extension, Lake Michigan Federation and the County Land Conservation agencies. Federal efforts are underway through the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 and EPA's 33/50 program. State efforts are underway through Wisconsin Act 325, including pollution prevention audits and the resources of a number of offices and centers set up to promote pollution prevention.
Actions to Evaluate Environmental Risks
An environmental risk assessment was performed in 1991-1992 to determine which problems or stressors posed the greatest potential to harm human health, the ecosystem, the economic system and/or the quality of life. Those stressors judged to pose the greatest risk were, in descending order: wetland/shoreland filling; exotic species invasions; persistent bioaccumulative organic substances; heavy metals; phosphorus loadings; suspended solids loadings; BOD loadings and nonpersistent toxic substances. This information will be used to set priorities and target resources for most effective risk reduction. In addition, a cost-effectiveness analysis is also being performed by Northeast Wisconsin Waters for Tomorrow, Inc. to help achieve the greatest risk reduction and meet the appropriate phosphorus and suspended solids objectives for the least cost.
Current projects and outlook
Substantial progress has been made in developing the RAP and implementing recommended actions. However, despite incremental improvements to prevent water pollution, restore habitats, improve public access and further define the causes of impaired uses, none of the problems in the AOC have been completely solved. Recommendations are being implemented sequentially - the easiest have been started, the more difficult have yet to be implemented. Full RAP implementation will be well beyond the year 2000.
Reversing the hypereutrophic conditions in the river and bay is a top priority for the AOC. The LGB/Fox Science and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) has formed a Strategic Data Acquisition Task Force to begin assembling information needed to develop a TMDL for the Fox-Wolf River Basin.
The following information is extracted from the STAC White Paper referenced above in "Progress and Achievements".
To effect further, more significant reductions in P levels, management strategies to control nonpoint sources must be implemented throughout the Fox-Wolf watershed. As a consequence, both Lake Winnebago, which also suffers effects of excessive P stimulation of algal growth and reduced water quality, and the AOC would benefit from the P controls.
A coordinated monitoring effort is essential to enhance knowledge of the dynamic relationships between P loads, water clarity and water resource conditions. Coordinated monitoring is also important for evaluating the results of P and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) reduction efforts in the Fox-Wolf Basin.
The revised recommendations should also be considered in the Upper Fox, Wolf and Lower Fox River geographic management units (GMUs). It is counterproductive and counter-intuitive to expect to achieve the desired future state for the Lower Fox River/Green Bay AOC without including these GMUs in P and TSS reduction efforts. Of particular interest should be the Lake Winnebago pool of lakes.
Revised ambient targets for P and TSS can be expected to achieve the following:
- Reductions in algal abundance and abiotic suspended solids will lead to increased water clarity (Secchi disc of 1.5m).
- The littoral community can be expected to increase in biological production, diversity and area of development, including fish and waterfowl.
- Beneficial uses such as swimming and fishing can be expected to increase.
- Increased development of aquatic plants will reduce water turbulence and facilitate further reductions of suspended solids, and may impact boating in shallow water areas.
- Frequency and intensity of nuisance blue-green algae blooms will decrease.
The RAP recommendations, as revised in the STAC White Paper for ambient concentrations of P, TSS and chlorphyll-a should continue to serve as the goal for achieving the desired future state as it relates to nutrients and suspended solids in the watershed. In order to meet these targets, the 50% reductions from the 1981-1983 average estimated loads of P (just over 1 million pounds) and TSS (200 million pounds) stand. In other words, P loads should cut to 500,000 pounds and TSS to 100 million pounds annually.
The STAC recommends this information be used to achieve a total maximum daily load (TMDL) in the Lower Fox, Upper Fox and Wolf GMUs so that the development and implementation of watershed restoration strategies may begin as soon as possible.
What is a beneficial use impairment?
Impairment of beneficial use is a change in the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of the Great Lakes system sufficient to cause any of the following 14 use impairments:
- restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- tainted fish and wildlife flavor
- loss of fish or wildlife habitat
- degraded fish and wildlife populations
- fish tumors or other deformities
- bird or animal deformities or reproductive problems
- degradation of benthic macroinvertebrate communities
- restrictions on dredging activities
- eutrophication or undesirable algae
- restrictions on drinking water consumption or taste and odor problems
- beach closings
- degradation of aesthetics
- added costs to agriculture and industry
- degradation of phytoplankton and zooplankton
What is a remedial action plan?
The remedial action plan, or RAP, is a process to clean up the waterfront, rivers, habitats and waters. The United States and Canada, as part of the Great Lake Water Quality Agreement, committed to cooperate with State and Provincial Governments to ensure that RAPs are developed and implemented for all Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes basin. Forty-three AOCs have been identified: 26 located entirely within the United States; 12 located entirely within Canada; and five that are shared by both countries. RAPs address impairments to any one of 14 beneficial uses (e.g., restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption, dredging activities, or drinking water consumption) associated with these areas.
What is a delisting target?
In order to move towards formal delisting, RAPs need delisting targets to gauge their success:
- Delisting targets should be premised on local goals and related environmental objectives for the watershed; they should be consistent with the applicable federal and state regulations, objectives, guidelines, standards and policies, when available, and the principles and objectives embodied in Annex 2 and supporting parts of the GLWQA.
- Delisting targets should have measurable indicators.
- Delisting targets should be developed and periodically reviewed on a site specific basis (allowing for flexibility in addressing local conditions) by the respective state agencies, in consultation with local stakeholder groups. This is particularly important if new information becomes available.

INDIANAPOLIS – Butler lost a pair of guards prior to Saturday's season opener against Elon, one to a dismissal from the program (junior Chrishawn Hopkins), and another to a transfer (freshman Chris Harrison-Docks). However, what Saturday's 74-59 victory over the Phoenix demonstrated was that the backcourt depth for the Bulldogs is not a concern at all.
Butler coach Brad Stevens utilized six different players in varying roles to fill the perimeter positions and each contributed to the success of the team. One of those six players, however, is a bit of a surprise to have made the impact that he did.
Sophomore Alex Barlow isn't on scholarship, he walked on with the Bulldogs (1-0) a year ago, but regardless of that status, he's just another player to Stevens.
"When you are analyzing your team that's on the floor, you do it as a team," Stevens said. "There are 14 players. There aren't 11 scholarship players and three walk-ons."
The fact that Barlow is paying his way didn't affect his role on Saturday. The Springboro, Ohio native played 17 minutes and was very productive. He grabbed seven rebounds (second best on the team), connected on his only shot attempt and dished out three assists, while turning the ball over just once.
As efficient as the 5-foot-11 guard was offensively, Stevens liked him just as much defensively.
"I trust Barlow a great deal," Stevens said. "He plays to win and he's really good defensively."
There were indications that Barlow was more than just a scout team player last season, as he received increasing time through the post-season (averaging 20 minutes per game). He ultimately played in 16 games as a freshman and despite the fact that Butler had three point guards on scholarship this fall (fifth-year senior Rotnei Clarke, sophomore Jackson Aldridge, and Harrison-Docks), Stevens felt Barlow deserved a bigger role than your typical walk-on.
"(Barlow) has earned his spot," Stevens said. "There is no question about it in our rotation and I think he'll continue to make us a better team."
Clarke paced Butler in scoring with 21 points against Elon (0-1), while Kellen Dunham (18 points), and Khyle Marshall (14) also contributed.
Sophomore forward Roosevelt Jones dished out six assists to go with six points and nine boards. Defensively, Jones was a big factor in limiting Elon's top returning scorer, Zionsville native Jack Isenbarger, to just four points on 2 of 9 shooting.
Butler will travel to Xavier on Tuesday at 4 p.m. (ESPN).

Let your spectator thread a brass nut onto an ordinary piece of string. With your spectator holding both ends of the string to make sure the nut can't slide off, you cover the nut with a cloth. When you whisk the cloth away, the nut has disappeared from the string- it's in your hand!
Easy to do, easy to carry in your pocket for performing at a moment's notice!
The Phantom Nut is the deluxe version of the classic Spirit Nut trick.
If you are out to dinner, you can casually use your cloth dinner napkin as a cover. It's perfect!When the brass nut is released from the string, you have the choice of letting it fall into your hand, or letting it fall onto the table, which creates a nice startling noise.

|Grunberg Haus Applesauce Pancakes
We're always very happy to share our recipes here at the Grunberg Haus. In fact, some of our recipes were handed down by the previous owners 11 years ago when we bought the inn, others we brought with us, and still others we've come across while searching for new ideas to offer our guests. So we don't jealously guard our recipes and instead freely pass them along for others to enjoy.
One person we shared a recipe with has written about it on her blog called A Mom Named Mindy (sadly no longer online). The recipe is very easy so give it a whirl and perhaps you will fall in love with applesauce pancakes as much as Mindy has!
Two quick notes: the lemon juice may not seem important but the acidity is what gives the pancakes their "body" and helps them brown properly. Another trick we use here is full flavored Grade A Dark Amber Vermont maple syrup.
Thanks Mindy! We hope to see you again some day.

|Three Vermont Chefs Named as Semifinalists in the James Beard Awards
Eric Warnstedt
Everyone has heard of the Oscar Awards for the movies but far fewer have heard of the James Beard Foundation Award, an equally prestigious award for people in the restaurant industry.
Like the Oscar's, The James Beard Foundation Award has numerous categories even though the most publicized are the awards for chefs. However, there are also awards for food journalists, broadcast media, food and beverage professionals, even restaurant architects and designers.
Three Vermont chefs are semi-finalists in the Best Chef Northeast category. This is the third year in a row that Eric Warnstedt, Hen of the Wood restaurant, Waterbury VT has been nominated. A few years ago, Eric was also named one of the Top Ten New Chefs in the USA by Food and Wine Magazine.
Jason Gulisano of The Green Cup Cafe, Waitsfield VT and Nathaniel Wade, iDuino! (Duende) restaurant, Burlington VT have also been nominated. Only one of the
21 semifinalists will be named the winner at the awards ceremony May 9 in New York City.
Vermont is fortunate to be home to hundreds of great restaurants. Spend some time looking through the Seven Days newspaper's restaurant website and you will begin to get a feel for the scope of what's available.

|Hardwick VT Featured in Yankee Magazine
Once the site of a thriving granite mine, Hardwick VT became a pleasant but hardscrabble looking town after the mine closed. Then it got hit by a major fire five years ago which destroyed several important old buildings in the middle of town. But it has made an admirable comeback in recent years. Most of that is due to the local food movement. Several articles have appeared with headlines along the lines of : "The Town That Food Saved."
The current issue of Yankee Magazine now describes Hardwick as "The Center for an Agricultural Economy." It was written by Bill McKibben, a Vermont resident famous for his work on global warming. Mr. McKibben writes about some of the key people involved with the local food movement including the local investor funded restaurant, Claire's, and organic seed producer, High Mowing Seeds. It's an interesting read and provides insight into many of the related types of activities going on in Vermont today.

|Waterside Dining in Vermont
One of the new Vermont travel blogs I've been reading for the past few months is called Love Vermont. It's written by Katherine Kerrigan who describes herself as a "girl who fell in love with a state and a state of mind" which is actually a common situation in Vermont and one that applies to me and many others who find their way here as well.
Her blog yesterday is especially helpful for Vermont travelers looking to find unique dining experiences. "top ten tuesdays - waterfront dining" is a great little article with quick reviews of the best dining next to lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout the state.
I've only eaten at four of the ten restaurants so I have some work to do. But in a state awash in great dining, it takes more than the decade I've been here to get to a large number of them let alone all of them. But that's part of the charm I suppose - the never ending discovery of new places to enjoy Vermont.
One word of advice about one of the restaurants, Hen of the Wood located near me in Waterbury: it is a small restaurant that is highly popular so reservations well in advance are always a good idea. The waterside here is a nice waterfall and river immediately behind the old brick mill building which houses the restaurant. See my January 11, 2009 blog post which has a winter photo (ice and snow) of the falls but will give you and idea of the setting during more hospitable weather.
Love Vermont is one of several fine Vermont blogs I have included in the right hand column of Vermont Travel Notes under the heading Travel Friends. I recommend going through it for ideas of things to see and do while traveling Vermont. There are a lot of good ideas there written by people who love Vermont and love to share their knowledge.

'Digging up' Information on Windsor's Aboriginal Roots
In an attempt at uprooting almost forgotten knowledge on Windsor's Aboriginal heritage, the Demonstration Wildflower Garden Group is researching the symbolism and medicinal purposes of the local plants used at one time by the Ojibway Tribe. The First Nations are the ideal versions of green living as they recognized and used every part of a plant without waste. By incorporating these traditional practices and plants into a modern wildflower garden it is the hope of the group that it will connect Windsor on a deeper level with its original roots while inspiring green living through the creation of wildflower gardens. Trips to Ojibway Park Nature Centre (top image) revealed a collection of wildflower seeds for sale which are native to the land along with information regarding proper conditions for the growing of each plant. As well, the University's own Turtle Island yielded a vast library of Aboriginal knowledge (bottom two images).

The Richest People of All-Time: Rockefeller & Carnegie Battle It Out for the Top Spot
Yesterday we published a new article with the updated 2012 list of the Top 25 People in the World. Now we are looking at the Top 20 Richest People of All-Time! Can you name anyone on the list before you see it? Here it is:
1. John D. Rockefeller Fortune: $336 billion
Source of wealth: He founded Standard Oil in 1870, at the age of 31, and bought up most of the oil refineries in the United States, eventually controlling about 90% of the American oil business.
2. Andrew Carnegie Fortune: $309 billion
Source of wealth: Carnegie invested in the steel business when the market was booming, eventually ending up at the head of the U.S. Steel empire.
3. William the Conquer Peak fortune: $209 billion
Source of wealth: Was called William the Bastard until he led the last successful foreign invasion of England in 1066. Although he became a monarch, we're counting the spoils of war before he took the throne, based on what he gave out to his sons Odo and Robert.
4. Cornelius Vanderbilt Fortune: $185 billion
Source of wealth: In 1862, he began to buy railroad lines. Although already 70 years old, his wealth mostly comes from this business of the 19th century. Prior to that, he was known as a cold-blooded steam-boat entrepreneur.
5. Alan Rufus Fortune: $149 billion
Source of wealth: A Norman who joined William The Conqueror in the invasion of Britain in the 11th century, Alan "The Red" had 250,000 acres of land from Yorkshire to London. He also owned Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire, which, for the time, was considered very comfortable.
6. Bill Gates Peak fortune: $136 billion
Source of wealth: Founded Microsoft with Paul Allen in 1975. He held onto shares as Microsoft dominated the age of computers, peaking in personal wealth at the top of the Dot Com Bubble.
7. William de Warenne Peak fortune: $134 billion
Source of wealth: Originally from Normandy, William I de Warenne participated in the battle of Hastings and was rewarded with properties in Sussex, Northfolk and Yorkshire. He became the first Earl of Surrey.
8. John Jacob Aster Peak fortune: $121 billion
Source of wealth: A successful fur trader, he established a near monopoly within the U.S. by around 1800. He subsequently switched trades and went on to investing in real estate, focusing on New York City.
9. Richard Fitzalan 10th Earl of Arundel Peak fortune: $108 billion
Source of wealth: The Earl of Arundel and quite the military leader. He fought in the Scottish Independence wars and in the Hundred Years' War. Subsequent Earls of Arundel — his sons — would make this list, but we're only counting that money once.
10. Stephen Girard Peak fortune: $105 billion
Source of wealth: Successful in the shipping trade, he was a French-born American merchant who went into the banking business later in his life, owning a bank that was called "Girard's Bank".
11. John of Gaunt Peak fortune: $101 billion
Source of wealth: Richard II's regent during much of the latter's rule and the father of Henry Bolingbroke (who would eventually come back from exile to depose Richard and take the English throne into his hands). One of Shakespeare's meekest characters.
12. A.T. Stewart Peak fortune: $88.9 billion
Source of wealth: An American entrepreneur, he founded the first department store in lower Manhattan and subsequently expanded his retail business.
13. Frederick Weyerhaeuser Peak fortune: $79.4 billion

15. Carlos Slim Peak fortune: $74.5 billion
Source of wealth: Many. He is most famous, however, for having big holdings in major telecom companies, especially America Movil, one of the largest corporations in Latin America.
16. Jay Gould Peak fortune: $71.2
Source of wealth: Railroad baron and gold speculator, Jay Gould masterminded the 19th century transportation boom in America. He and financier James Fisk also bought up a dominating share of the gold market at the time – enough to directly affect market movements during Gould's lifetime.
17. Stephen Van Rensselaer Peak fortune: $68.5
Source of wealth: Major of the US Militia and member of the New York State Assembly, Rensselaer was also heir to one of the most well-endowed estates in the US. He founded the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a portion of his wealth.
18. Marshall Field Peak fortune: $66.1 billion
Source of wealth: He started the retail store chain Marshall Field and Co. in Chicago during the Civil War.
19. Sam Walton Peak fortune: $64.5 billion
Source of wealth: Founded Walmart in 1962 and lived a famously humble life. As Walmart keeps growing, Walton's four children have individual fortunes around $20 billion each.
20. Warren Buffett Peak fortune: $63.9 billion
Source of wealth: Investments. The Oracle of Omaha joined Berkshire Hathaway as chairman in 1970 and hasn't looked back. He has pledged to give away 99 percent of his money.

Western Carolina Holds Off East Tennessee State Rally, 7-6
Saturday, May 11, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (May 11, 2002) - Western Carolina broke open a close game with three runs in the ninth inning and then held off an East Tennessee State rally in the bottom of the ninth to take a 7-6 Southern Conference baseball win at Cardinal Park. East Tennessee State (19-30, 11-14 SoCon) starter Reid Casey (Kingsport, Tenn.) got in trouble right off the bat, walking the first three hitters of the game. He got out of the jam, however, allowing just one run on a double play ball by Donovan Minero. Bryan Crouse (Kingston, Tenn.) gave ETSU its only lead of the game in the fourth, swatting a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left center with Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) aboard for a 2-1 Buccaneer lead. Western Carolina (31-17, 20-9 SoCon) tied the game in the fifth when Dan Woodley led off with a single and moved to second on a hit by Rod Goldston. Alex Gary then followed Goldston with a single to left that scored Woodley. The Catamounts then reclaimed the lead in the sixth when Alan Beck launched his 10th home run of the season into the netting in left for a 3-2 lead. After scoring a run on a Beck sac fly in the eighth, WCU struck for three in the ninth that gave the Catamounts what looked like a comfortable 7-2 lead. A pair of singles and a hit batter loaded the bases with one out. Gary then delivered the big blow, a two-run double to right center that chased Casey from the mound. WCU got one more on a sac fly from Minero before ETSU reliever Jarrod Hyder (Elizabethton, Tenn.) could get the final out of the frame. Keithley led off the ninth with a single to left that started the Buccaneer rally. Crouse followed with another single and the pair moved up a base on a groundout. Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.) pinch-hit and was hit by Western's Ryan Foster to load the bases. After getting the second out on a pop up, Foster allowed consecutive infield hits by Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) to score two runs to make it 7-4. Ryan Basner then came on to pitch for WCU to face Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.). Cross hit a sharp grounder to third, but Ryan Schade's throw to second was wide, allowing two more runs to score. Basner then got out of the jam by striking out Mike Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.) to end the game and earn his second save. Dan Foley started for Western and threw a strong six innings to pick up the win, allowing just four hits and a pair of runs. Casey lost for just the second time in conference play, allowing all seven runs in 8.1 innings. Gary finished the day 2-for-4, driving in three runs to lead the Catamounts. Todd Buchanan also had a pair of hits for WCU. Crouse and Keithley each went 2-for-4 for ETSU, with Crouse driving in a pair and scoring twice. The two teams will finish off the three-game series on Sunday at Cardinal Park at 1:00 p.m.
