An emergency-order opening commercial set and drift gillnet fisheries in the Cook Inlet on Saturday was issued by Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers attempting to slow escapement of Kasilof River sockeye salmon.
Approximately 128,000 fish made it past the sonar on the Kasilof River by midnight Thursday — the largest estimated passage of fish through this date ever measured on the river, according to the emergency order.
The Kenai Watershed Forum has been awarded a $96,000 grant to continue monitoring bacteria in the Kenai River.
The 2014 monitoring program will also include tests on the Kasilof River and advances in microbial source tracking could allow researchers to pinpoint which contributing source causes the most bacteria to end up in the rivers.
A common and often-repeated maneuver on commercial fishing boats throughout Alaska involves reaching just below the head of a freshly caught fish into its gill slit, grabbing the gills and then bending and twisting the wrist to rip them out.
It's injurious to the fish, it's supposed to be. But, for the people who do it thousands of times throughout the course of a fishing season, the repetitive movement can lead to carpal tunnel or tendonitis; injuries that could be avoided if industry workers were retrained to avoid wrist damage.
In a flurry of emergency orders and news releases Thursday the Alaska Deparment of Fish and Game announced efforts to conserve king salmon by putting restrictions on personal-use fishing and inriver anglers — triggering restrictions for commercial fishers in the east side setnet fishery.
Managers justified the restrictions with the explanation that Cook Inlet king salmon have continued to return in low numbers in recent years.
The Kenai River has had below-average run strength since 2009, according to a Fish and Game media release.
The battle has begun on the Russian River where an unexpectedly large run of sockeye salmon prompted managers to loosen restrictions on fishing the early run.
Anglers who make their way to the clear Cooper Landing-area river can bag six sockeye salmon a day and have up to 12 unprocessed fish in their possession at a time.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game also expanded the area allowed for fishing for early run sockeye, opening the Russian River Sanctuary Area, a move many anglers said left the best spots open to lay a line the water and catch a red salmon.
Reports of sockeye salmon catches on the Russian River are still ranging between "good and excellent" two weeks after the opening of the fishery, said Alaska Department of Fish and Game assistant management biologist Jason Pawluk.
An emergency order opened the Russian River Sanctuary Area to fishing for sockeye salmon on Tuesday.
It took five years, a move to New York City and some soul-searching, but Kenai Peninsula trumpet player and musician Joe DeCino has graduated from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
While he left Homer with aspirations of being a professional jazz-trumpet player, DeCino found himself drawn increasingly to other instruments and the art of composition — so much so that he didn't touch a trumpet during his final recital.
As sockeye salmon continue to slam into the Kasilof River, a portion of the commercial set gillnet fishery will get a chance to intercept salmon in the second largest escapement measured on the river.
The opening is two days earlier than the first regularly scheduled season opening for the Kasilof portion of the set gillnet fishery — however provisions in its management plan allow Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers to open on or after June 20 if more than 50,000 sockeye have entered the Kasilof River.
On a gray, raining morning in Kenai, about 40 people, eight dogs and a handful of four-wheelers parked on Dunes Road in Kenai and headed out into the soft sand of the south beach of the Kenai River.
They walked in small groups, huddling together for warmth and dodging the steady, incessant rain under umbrellas, working to raise money for Arctic Barnabas Ministries during the organization's third annual beach walk.
As the heat and eternal sunshine bring globe-trotting anglers to the Kenai Peninsula, it can become increasingly difficult to find a secluded spot to drop a line in the water and wait in peace for that first tentative nibble.
The Robertsons and the Prestons, two couples from Sterling, found sunshine, solitude and at least one nibble from a rainbow trout on Peterson Lake in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in mid-June.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pestana Carlton Madeira Funchal
Would stay at this hotel again
Having just returned from a week at this hotel, I would certainly recommend it to friends. The facilities were very good, the staff were friendly and courteous and the location was convenient.
I was initially concerned by the building work which is visible adjacent to the front of the hotel but did not find this to be a problem. My room was on the first floor and neither myself or partner were disturbed by any noise.
The room was spacious and nicely decorated -although I wish I had taken my own hairdryer as the one provided in the room wasn't that brilliant and hair conditioner wasn't provided within the complimentary toiletries!
At the welcome meeting (via Atlantic Holidays) we were invited to go to a new hotel owned by the same company in return for 2 free tickets to a show of our choice at the Casino Park Hotel including wine and a meal.(working out at an approximate saving of 50 euros) The visist to the hotel in fact turned out to be a timeshare event but our representative was very nice and no pressure was applied. Our visit took about 2.5 hours which was a bit on the long side but the show was brilliant and we saved quite a bit of money.
I, personally, would rate this as 4* Hotel but a very good one at that and would have no hesitation in staying again.
Our most enjoyable holiday for years!
Having referred to the existing reviews when planning our holiday I felt I should record our family's experience of Madeira. We are a family of 4 - 2 children aged 14 and 11, so were not entirely sure that Madeira would be a good choice for us all, having got the distinct impression that a holiday there was more suited to the more elderly traveller. How wrong could we be!
Firstly, we had booked two rooms and had requested adjacent rooms to keep a close eye on the children. We were allocated two adjacent rooms on the 18th(top) floor of the hotel which had interconnecting doors, so this arrangement proved to be perfect. Our rooms had clearly been very recently renovated (to a very high standard) and although we had mountain view rooms we did not find them at all noisy (we live in a very rural area of Scotland and are therefore used to a quiet location, and nonetheless found the rooms very quiet). The bonus was being able to watch the world go by below you, and enjoy the lights of the town at night.
We were staying on a bed and breakfast basis and cannot speak highly enough of the buffet breakfast provided. There was a very wide choice of hot food, plus the usual cereals/continental meats/cheeses/yoghurt/fruit/ rolls/toast etc.
We found the hotel to be perfectly located, being a gentle 20 minute stroll along the main road, through the gardens down to the harbour. We didn't find it necessary to venture much beyond the centre of Funchal to eat, although all the guide books recommended the Old Town. We found the restaurants around the harbour to be very good and not overpriced - 4 large pizzas, 2 soft drinks and a bottle of wine for around 40 euros at the pizzeria, and also ate well at the Mar Azul - tuna steaks were very tasty. The harbour restaurants will regularly hand out 10% discount vouchers for your next meal. We also tried 2 other restaurants in the town centre which were equally good. Be wary though if you choose to take a taxi back from the centre as some taxi drivers will take you without setting the meter and can therefore charge what they like. Make sure that they agree to use the meter before setting off or agree a fixed price for the journey beforehand!
We found the hotel's facilities to be very good and our children were certainly kept reasonably well amused by the crazy golf, table tennis and pool table, although the pool and table tennis were very popular and you often had to wait your turn.
We thoroughly enjoyed using the pools for swimming - they were generally very quiet as the older customers tended not to leave their sunbeds all day, which meant that you could have a really good swim if you wished. Our family's favourite thing, though, was to use the lift down to the sea level pool and to swim off the jetty in the sea. Our daughter was so excited to be swimming around what to us looked like the sort of fish you would find in a tropical fish tank! We regularly swam out to the pontoons and the children enjoyed the slide into the water. If you were so inclined, the hotel runs a diving centre and many people seemed to be taking advantage of this to learn how to scuba dive.Jet ski, kayak and a banana boat were also available for hire. Sunbeds were plentiful and sun umbrellas only 2 euros a day.
Some minor renovation work was ongoing and whilst there was noise during the day it didn't prove to be intrusive. We were the beneficiaries of the renovations, having been allocated newly renovated rooms and if our rooms were a measure of the standard of the renovation I wouldn't hesitate to book another holiday at this hotel.
Our other recommendations for a stay in Funchal are a visit to the market on Friday - very crowded, but don't miss the fish market downstairs to see huge tuna and the black scabbard fish for which Madeira is famous, and a trip on the cable car to Monte. We didn't fancy the trip down on sledges so booked a return ticket on the cable car. Found a good little bar up a flight of steps next to the gift shop in Monte, and enjoyed watching those who braved the sledges setting off down the hill. Fantastic views from the cable car.
All in all, a very enjoyable holiday - great hotel, great food, plenty to see, great weather (26 degrees every day and a slight breeze - perfect for those who want to avoid the temperature excesses of the Mediterranean in high summer) and definitely a place to return to. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great location for Town Centre
This hotel was completely over stated. We were on the 16th floor and still could hear the traffic all night long. They seem to honk horns and sirens go off irrespective of the time of night.
We ate in the Pub and also Taverna Grill. The Pub was as would be expected cheap and cheerfull. The Taverna Grill very expensive and nothing to boast about.
The music was very good from all different duets in the latter part of the evening.
We did not have a bar in the room only a smelly fridge. It looked as though the room was very recently updated so it was a shame it was not as advertised.
Would definitely go back to Funchal but not to this hotel.
Great location for exploring Funchal
My wife and I stayed at the Pestana Carlton the last week in April and had a great time. The Carlton is located within easy walking distance to either Funchal or the Lido. The pool areas were very nice, clean and the upper pool offered a fantastic view of the harbor. The one thing we noticed is the clientele were quite a bit older than other places we visited. But, it seemed Madeira in general was a vacation spot for an older crowd. We stayed in a studio apartment(small Kitchenette) that had great views. The staff were very nice and accomodating. The Carlton in general offered a few things you don't find everywhere. Music and get-togethers in the afternoons, not quite my taste. But, a nice touch. Over all very satisfied. I would stay here again on my next trip to Madeira
Great food and service
We stayed there for our 25th wedding anniversary and found it to be excellent especially the food and the staff. Absolutely no complaints at all. Will go back there again sometime.
Great Food/attentive staff
We stayed here in June 2003. Although the hotel is not aethetically pleasing from the outside, the views from the balcony (7th floor) were amazing. We could see the mountains and at night the view was just as beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was excellent and plentiful, the staff friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The swimming pools were spotless and never crowded. Having it's own landing stage was great and we did swim in the sea (VERY cold) from there, making it heavenly to get into the salt water pool to warm up afterwards! The pool staff were great, bringing drinks or snacks whenever you wanted. The evening entertainment was very good and again, attentive staff meant that you didn't have to move from your table on the terrace overlooking the sea, if you didn't want to.
The Red Lion restaurant, one minutes walk was great if you fancy a change of scenery. It took 30 minutes of leisurely walking to get into the centre of Funchal along the sea front although there were always plenty of taxis waiting outside the hotel and always a friendly doorman to hail one for you.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would ask for a view over the mountains rather than the sea, far more interesting!
Lovely location
have stayed here in timeshare accomadation for last 4 years and will be there again in march.
The staff have always extremely helpful and polite.
We would not even consider moving our accomadation elsewhere.
Only wish we were there now, we know what we are missing.
Oh well only about 12 weeks to wait.
Worn out and shabby with ongoing construction work
Stayed at the Pestana Carlton August 2004, very disappointed with the rooms and the general condition of the hotel, I think 2 stars would be generous. The staff are not helpful and pigeons dine with you in the restaurant (they leave the doors open). Overnight very loud construction work on the plumbing was going on, making sleep impossible, but from the smell in the rooms, the plumbing does need changing. I would not recommend a stay here.
Dont pay for the seaview
I stayed here for a week and found it to be an shabby approx 4 star hotel. The divecentre Madeira Divepoint is excellent , advice book independently. Take care and do not book advance seaview supplement. the hotel and the travel companies are economical with the truth.
We had paind 144 Sterling for this for a week and ended up on the corner of the Harbour and the road. Very noisy to open the patio windows.
Otherwise hotel is nice to stay in.
Our Honeymoon Hotel
We had a superb experience at this hotel. The food was good, and the service excellent.This dates back to 1998, but I doubt if little has changed the front desk staff were very helpful, and funny, and made our stay a dream.We would recommend the experience.

Hostile culture will kill "lean" efforts
|| Print |
|Monday, May 09, 2011
The big challenge for any company is "the ability to make things stick" — to be able to agree as a group to do things a new way, and then follow through and actually do it in that new way, consistently.
According to expert Rick Pay, known by his clients as "The Sherlock Holmes of Operations and Supply Chain," the biggest enemy of Lean is Culture — specifically, Lean will fail if you attempt to introduce it into a hostile culture that resists change.
Recent MIT studies show that up to 70% of firms that institute Lean or Six Sigma, don't sustain the improvements. In five years, they are back where they started. Rick believes the solution is to implement three things:
Vision provides the "why" that motivates action.
For change management, there must be strong vision at the top and leadership to require and remind and reinforce the new way of doing things.
In the weak firm, there are change meetings that generate brief excitement, and then people leave the meeting and go back to the real world.
Culture change can occur when senior leaders recruit middle managers to champion the change. Each middle manager needs to own their own vision. That will identify the 3 or 4 things that their workgroup needs to focus on to make the change really stick.
For example, Rick is working with a $100 million wholesale distributor where nobody owned the inventory process. The branch managers were constantly frustrated because their client projects were always ham-strung by a lack of available inventory.
So Rick worked with them to create a task force of VPs plus three branch managers, reporting to and sponsored by the senior executives (CEO, CFO, an Executive VP and the company owner), who are also on this task force — and who all show up for all the meetings. They read their vision statement out loud at the start of every meeting. This keeps them focused on the vision and their role in making it happen. That vision includes metrics that will measure the change.
These task force members then drive sub-task-forces to take on subsets of the vision. These sub-task-forces also have metrics that define their focus areas and measure their success and progress.
All meetings use best-practice disciplines:
This approach has been very powerful. Within just three months, Rick's client has completely implemented their distribution center — a keystone to the new strategy.
It was crucial that the owner started with a clear vision for customer service, and the entire project was built around that vision.
Mistakes and Safety
Metrics and Accountability
Other important metrics are also shown as "smaller dials" — this functions in a way that is similar to a Balanced Scorecard.
Metrics tell people what they should pay attention to. People become ineffective when they aren't sure what to focus on — the metrics clarify priorities.
The third leg of the Culture of Action is to replace "problem solving" (which implies you screwed up, and just takes you back to your prior level) with an innovation oriented culture of "continuous improvement" (which carries no stigma and makes things permanently better).
By allowing every worker to contribute to the continuous improvement, you're taking workers who might otherwise feel like robots, and you're turning them into programmers — they each day run a program they helped write, and they can feel the power that comes with making permanent changes and improvements.
Rick advocates using the classic PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, starting not with an assumption that the current state is "broken" but rather starting with a desired future better state.
The team then tries to Do the plan. Then they Check to see how it worked. Finally they Act as a group to refine and revise the Plan based on what they learned when they Checked. Then they take the revised Plan and Do it again.
Ricks says, "Once you have change management with leadership and vision, and you have continuous improvement where you are creating a better future state, you really can build it into the culture — the habits and values — and create a true Culture of Action."

Uintah County admits closed-door meeting on oil shale violated state law
"It's kind of the example of, if you want to learn about a particular religion, do you go to the people who are just spouting anti stuff about that religion, or would it make sense to go and talk to someone who practices it?" Stearmer said in July.
But Hansen doesn't believe that's what officials were trying to do.
"I firmly believe litigation strategy has to be developed confidentially, but that was not their intention to begin with," she said. "The intention was to develop a unified front against the BLM for rolling back the amount of land available for oil shale leasing."
Hansen said that the BLM was still soliciting public comment on a draft programmatic environmental impact statement for commercial oil shale leasing when officials held their meeting. That meant there was no imminent possibility of legal action against the federal agency, she said.
"The BLM hasn't released its final decision, and only final decisions can be challenge," Hansen said.
As a result of the meeting, most of the counties involved passed nearly identical resolutions lambasting the BLM proposal to slash the amount of land available for oil shale leasing from about 2 million acres to 462,000 acres, and calling on the agency to abandon the plan.
In Carbon, Duchesne and Uintah counties, those resolutions were presented in open meetings and then voted upon by the commissioners.
Duchesne County Commissioner Ron Winterton said he was unaware of Uintah County's decision to rescind its oil shale resolution until he was contacted Thursday by the Deseret News for comment.
"I don't think we hurried into (passing the resolution)" he said. "We did a lot of refining and asked if it was right for (the county)."
Still, Duchesne County will likely review the resolution in light of what Uintah County has done, Winterton said.
Uintah County commissioners plan to revisit their resolution when they meet Monday. They will also be releasing "all documents and recordings" from the March 27 meeting to Hansen and others who filed public records requests for the information, according to court records.
Hansen, who has terminal cancer, sees Uintah County's about-face on the open meetings issue as a victory. But she also expressed frustration with the commissioners' repeated assertions over the past several months that they had done nothing wrong.
"They could have resolved this three months ago," she said.

Madam, 1 Mount Vernon, February 13th: 1800
I have duly received your kind letter of the 27 of January, and the excellent Oration which accompanied it; for which, as well as for the prayers and wishes for my health and happiness expressed in your letter, I beg your acceptance of my sincere thanks. 2
If the tears of sympathizing Friends - if numerous tributes of respectful veneration - if evidences of the sincere mourning of a grateful Country - or if universal grief for the loss of departed worth and excellence could give consolation to my breast, I should receive it in the highest degree. - These testimonies I see and acknowledge with grateful sensibility; and so far as human efforts can alleviate afflictions of this kind, they have their effect; - but knowing that no Earthly Power can retrieve my loss, I bow, with humble submission to the Dispensation of the Most High, and to him only do I look for comfort and consolation With my best wishes for the health and happiness of yourself and those who are dear to you I remain, Madam, very respectfully

He defended our Mothers from the Tomahawk of Savage barbarity and warded from their Breasts the polished (?) of more refined cruelty. Gratitude struggles for utterance, but the attempt is vain and to the feeling heart we leave it to conceive it. Such an one we are now

5 Hidden Ways to Boost Your Tax Refund
The 5 Biggest Tax Credits You Might Qualify For
If you got an extesnion to file your 2014 federal income tax return and expect to owe taxes, now's a good time to file. You still have time to avoid stiff penalties and interest. So get going today!
Today's Quote:
The way taxes are, you might as well marry for love.
~ Joe E. Lewis
If you get health insurance coverage through a Health Insurance Marketplace, be sure to add the Marketplace to your list of organizations to be notified of your new address.
If you are receiving advance payments of the premium tax credit, it is particularly important that you report changes in circumstances, including moving, to the Marketplace.
Here's why:
Reporting your move lets the Marketplace update the information used to determine your eligibility for a Marketplace plan, which may affect the appropriate amount of advance payments of the premium tax credit that the government sends to your health insurer on your behalf.
Reporting the changes will help you avoid having too much or not enough premium assistance paid to reduce your monthly health insurance premiums. Getting too much premium assistance means you may owe additional money or get a smaller refund when you file your taxes. On the other hand, getting too little could mean missing out on monthly premium assistance that you deserve.
Changes in circumstances that you should report to the Marketplace include:
Many of these changes in circumstances – including moving out of the area served by your current Marketplace plan – qualify you for a special enrollment period to change or get insurance through the Marketplace.
In most cases, if you qualify for the special enrollment period, you will have sixty days to enroll following the change in circumstances. You can find information about special enrollment periods at HealthCare.gov.
The Premium Tax Credit Change Estimator can help you estimate how your premium tax credit will change if you experience a change in circumstance during the year.
The the following table shows several ways to report an address change to the IRS:
|Tax return
|Use your new address on your tax return
|IRS Form
|Use Form 8822, Change of Address or, Form 8822B, Change of Address or Responsible Party - Business
|Written Statement
|Send a signed written statement with your:
Mail your statement to the address where you filed your last return
|Oral Notification
|You can tell the IRS in person or by telephone. They'll need to verify your identity and address. Have ready the information the IRS has on file for you, such as:
|Electronic Notification
|You can only notify the IRS electronically if your refund check was returned to the IRS. Use Where's My Refund? to complete your change of address online. You will need your Social Security number, filing status and the amount of your refund.
- If you filed a joint return, you should provide the same information and signatures for both spouses.
- If you filed a joint return and you and/or your spouse have since separated, you both should notify the IRS of your new addresses.
- Representatives filing a change of address for a taxpayer by form or written statement must attach a copy of their power of attorney or a Form 2848 (.pdf), Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. Unauthorized third parties cannot change a taxpayer's address.
- Any new address you provide to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may also update your address of record on file with the IRS based on what the USPS retains in its National Change of Address (NCOA) database.
However, even if you notify the USPS, you should still notify the IRS directly because not all post offices forward government checks.
If the change of address relates to an employment tax return, the IRS will issue notices of confirmation (Notices 148 A and 148 B) for the change to both the former and new address.
Several important tax changes went into affect in 2014. Depending on your income, age, marital status, or whether you operate a business, you could be affected.
Tax Articles
Tips and Tid Bits
During fiscal year 2013, the IRS collected almost $2.9 trillion in federal revenue and processed 240 million returns of which 151 million were filed electronically. Out of the 146 million individual income tax returns filed, almost 83 percent were e-filed. More than 118 million individual income tax return filers received a tax refund, which totaled almost $312.8 billion. On average, the IRS spent 41 cents to collect $100 in tax revenue during fiscal year 2013.
The IRS examined just under one percent of all tax returns filed and about one percent of all individual income tax returns during fiscal year 2013. Of the 1.4 million individual tax returns examined, over 39,000 resulted in additional refunds.
Seven states do not have a personal income tax. They are: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. New Hampshire and Tennessee do not tax wages. They tax investment income from stocks and bonds.
The IRS uses occupational codes to measure typical amounts of travel by profession. A tax return showing 20 percent or more above the norm might get a second look? Here are a few other red flags that can trigger an IRS audit .
Silly as it may seem, if you robbed a bank dung 2013, you had taxable income. Intentionally not reporting ill-gotten gains is considered tax evasion. The IRS doesn't care how we "earn" our loot as long as they get their cut, from a tax compliance standpoint of course. So, if you're selling drugs or scamming investors and not reporting the income, some day you could find yourself in the same predicament that Al Capone found himself in! Here are some of the top tax myths.

Find out in this fantastic, rousing film- but remove all fears of the typical teen-pop covered high school musicals from your minds, as the songs in this film are from legendary artists like David Bowie, The Beach Boys, ELO, and The Byrds.
