Unlike your average energy bar, No Opportunity Wasted bars contain White Chia Seeds which provide healthy EFA's but can also help regulate electrolytes, and are the only US marketed bar made with New Zealand's potent Manuka Honey which helps boost the immune system with its inherent antibacterial properties. Gluten-Free All Natural Dairy Free 4g Fiber 90mg of Omega-3 No Opportunity Wasted Energy Bars are moist, won't melt and tasty to the core. There is no need to try and chew down some grainy dry energy bar anymore. One taste of a No Opportunity Wasted Energy Bar and you will see why there is no comparison. NOW manufacturing and the very sensitive topic of gluten-free manufacturing ALL NOW Products are manufactured in a facility approved and certified by the stringent testing of the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) Ingredients review, down to the original supplier Onsite inspections by experienced, trained independent (third party) Field Inspection Agents Product and ingredient testing using scientifically AOAC approved testing methods GFCO certification mark located on product packages for easy identification Here is some important and hopefully comforting information about their "zero-tolerance" allergen cross-contamination manufacturing practices. With 30 years of manufacturing "allergy sensitive" products, they have a disciplined approach to allergen management procedures and policies, and a stringent "highly rated" sanitation program. In addition, they have incorporated different allergen management strategies that are all compliant to all regulatory requirements (GMP, SQG, Food Safety and Food Defense). Starting with product production and ingredient sourcing, they only use dedicated, single source ingredient suppliers who do all parts of production - from growing, to harvesting, milling and packaging. This provides the least possible risk of contamination of allergens. Each ingredient supplier must provide written documentation on product specification and analysis, processing conditions and certifications. Additional certification is then required from a 3rd party that all the ingredients have been tested by an independent lab to confirm they are allergy-free and gluten-free. After production, their finished products are then tested for gluten and allergens after every batch produced. All testing is through the well-respected Brunswick Labs. The following list should generally outline the approach they have incorporated: Adopted a "zero tolerance" philosophy for allergen cross-contamination. Conducted an allergen risk assessment as part of their Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program. Trained all associates in allergen management strategy. Including R&D, production, maintenance and sanitation. Made sure that all incoming ingredients are clearly labeled and that the labels are reviewed periodically to assure suppliers have not changed ingredients without notice Have a clear allergen storage policy including a procedure for spill cleanups. Designed equipment to facilitate cleaning and prevent allergen harborage niches. Schedule production to prevent cross-contamination. Clean between runs of allergen ingredients Clearly identify work-in-process materials and rework. Have a clear rework policy. Reject in-process materials or finished product suspected of cross-contamination. Have a process for reviewing labels prior to use, and confirm that the correct labels are used in process. Conduct internal audits or use a third party auditor (NSF) to assess the allergen management strategy. Their facility must undergo inspection by the National Sanitation Foundation. The company scored 97 percent on its latest inspection - the highest rating NSF has ever given. They proactively provide consumers with quick, honest answers. One of the benefits of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, which they have incorporated into their policies, is that their good labeling practices let consumers know that they care and they want to help. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why are NOW Energy Bars called "Energy" bars?A: Phil Keoghan's NOW Energy Bars have healthy carbohydrates which your body requires to sustain "Energy." Your body uses the carbs as fuel for your intense exercise and athletic activity. We like to refer to it as "ready-energy."

About NOW Power your adventure with NOW Energy BarFor adventure TV personality Phil Keoghan, "energy" is something that you can never fall short on when you live every day of your life to the fullest. Actually, one may say that by looking at Phil's globetrotting endeavors over these past twenty years that he's somewhat an authority on "energy," or the need for it. Nutritionally speaking, a demanding schedule like Phil's can also provide its share of pitfalls. That's why Phil turned to the leading authority in Sport's Nutrition Product Development, Shubox Inc. to develop what they are collectively considering The World's Best Energy Bar - The NOW Energy Bar - an All-Natural, Great Tasting, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free Nutrition Bar. "NOW stands for No Opportunity Wasted, my personal philosophy for living each day as if it were your last," says Phil Keoghan. He adds, "I've been traveling around the world for more than 20 years, working in over 100 countries, and one of the biggest challenges I face is making sure I get the right nutrition. After searching the planet for the perfect bar, I found the answer in an all-natural great tasting bar made with MANUKA HONEY, a natural preservative found in my homeland New Zealand, with special medicinal properties and jam-packed with high-potency energy that will power any adventure."

The San Juan County sheriff says two men ignited a fire that destroyed the library at San Juan High School in Blanding and caused about $1 million in damage.
About five hours after the 911 call reporting the fire, Blanding police arrested Deven W. White, 19, and Christopher Stolzer, 22, both of that town, on suspicion of intentionally setting the fire. A press release from the sheriff's office said the arrest was based on physical evidence at the scene and information from outside sources.
"They started it with an accelerant of what appears to be kerosene," said San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldridge. "They were mad at the school."
Classes will not be in session at the school on Monday or Tuesday because of the fire. The school was already scheduled to be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday for the remainder of the week. About 400 students attend the school.
Crews went to the school about 4 a.m. after receiving a 911 call about a large fire. They found the fire in the library, and it spread throughout the roof of the school.
It took two hours for crews from the Blanding and Monticello fire departments to extinguish the flames. The roof was also damaged, and several surrounding classrooms suffered smoke and water damage. No one was hurt.
The police also suspect the pair of burglarizing the high school and Albert R. Lyman Middle School five times in the past three weeks. Windows were broken and offices were trashed, among other activity.
The two men were booked into San Juan County jail under suspicion of second-degree felony arson and five counts of third-degree felony burglary.
White and Stolzer are former students of the high school, Eldridge said. A search of Utah court records shows no criminal history for either man.
As far as investigators can tell, their actions weren't against any one person at the school White and Stolzer were "just mad" at the school in general, Eldridge said.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Matt Obermeyer, George Proechel, and Chris Caiazza put goals on the scoreboard as the Saint Leo men's lacrosse team engineered a 9-4 win over MIT on Wednesday afternoon at University Field. The win advances the Lions' mark to 6-5 on the season, while the MIT Engineers drop to 2-3.
Obermeyer led the game with four goals, followed by Proechel with a hat trick and Caiazza with two. Both Proechel and Robert Hutchinson earned two assists on the afternoon, while Caiazza and Alex Monteferrante dished out one each.
Patrick Berry racked up 12 saves for Saint Leo, and held MIT silent for two quarters. Berry saw a total of 25 shots from the Engineers, and 16 shots on goal.
Hutchinson came up clutch for the Lions, winning 10-of-13 faceoff attempts and collecting six ground balls to help the Lions gain possession. Middie Beau Besancenez picked up five ground balls, followed by Austin Underwood with four. Defensively, freshman Dylan D'Airo caused three of the Lions' 10 turnovers.
Christopher Rullan collected 16 saves for MIT as he faced 33 shots and 25 shots on frame. The Engineers were led in scoring by Ben Hessels, who tallied two goals on the day.
Saint Leo jumped out to a 2-0 lead with 3:52 remaining in the first quarter, but an unassisted goal from Hessels with 1:31 on the clock closed the gap to 2-1 to end the initial period. Saint Leo extended their lead to 3-1 in the second stanza, with Proechel scoring the lone goal of the quarter off of a Monteferrante assist, setting the score at 3-1 at the half.
MIT entered into the third period with a goal to pull back to within one, 3-2 with 12:51 remaining in the quarter, but Proechel fed a pass to Caiazza for the Lions' fourth goal of the game a minute later to put the Lions back up by two, 4-2.
MIT's Jake Slonaker scored off of an assist from Gabe Blanchet with 10:43 on the clock to pull back in range, 4-3, but a goal from Obermeyer with 1:52 left in the period extended Saint Leo's lead to 5-3. Despite the momentum from Obermeyer's goal, MIT managed to slip a shot past Berry with seven seconds left in the third quarter to enter into the final period down by one, 5-4.
Even with the Engineers scoring last in the third quarter, Saint Leo went on to dominate in the final stanza, outscoring MIT 4-0 to secure the 9-4 win.
The Lions led the shot count 33-25, and placed 25 shots on frame compared to MIT's 16. The Lions won the ground ball battle 35-23, and were 12-for-17 on faceoffs thanks in large part to Hutchinson.
The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team returns to action on Sunday, April 1, when they host Coker. Game time is set for 1 p.m. at University Field. For the latest news, updates, and information on the men's lacrosse team, visit saintleolions.com.

Mount Shasta
This section contains environmental impact statements, wilderness proposals, The Wilderness Act, national and state park proposals, government hearing testimony, editorials, newspaper and magazine articles, and other materials, all of which help document the many controversies over development of Mt. Shasta. Environmental controversies pertaining to Mt. Shasta have existed for over a hundred years. Joaquin Miller, in his 1873 Life Amongst the Modocs: Unwritten History, proposed making Mt. Shasta the center of an Indian Republic. In January 1888, the Yreka Journal reported a national park plan was being proposed by the railroad, a plan that included Mt. Shasta, Black Butte, Castle Crags, and much of the Sacramento River Canyon. John Muir and John P. Irish both published articles in the 1888 Picturesque California outlining the need for preserving the Shasta region. Most of the early controversies addressed the entire region. As time progressed the environmental arguments became more specific as to land and issues. In modern times Native Americans have added their voices to various controversies. The entries in this section are those that were deemed integral to the history of concern over development of Mt. Shasta. See Section 1. Comprehensive Histories, especially Berenice Lamson's environmental issues-oriented Mt. Shasta, A Regional History for a data-filled report about development on the mountain, and Michael Zanger's 1992 Mt. Shasta, History, Legends, and Lore, for a history of environmental issues. Time did not allow for the location of many unpublished studies about Mt. Shasta cited in Economic Research Associates' (San Francisco) excellent Social and Economic Environment and Baseline Assumptions for Mt. Shasta Ski Area Socio-economic Impact Study...October, 1987; the studies listed included several Mt. Shasta archaeological reconnaissance papers, ski area market reports, land classification orders, etc.

Shasta Herald and was one of the first, in 1915, to promote in print the idea of the road. Several opposing forces were for and against the road, especially in the 1920's and 1930's. Regional forester S.B. Show overrode the objections of Supervisor Tom Jones and ordered the road built. Later, State Senator Collier used appropriations bills to wrest out some monies for the road. (Incidentally, the author states that Forest supervisor Tom Jones was under the impression that the public had no business going into the National Forests, and that this is the reason why the trail head to Black Butte is in such an inaccessible location.)

Shasta. Mt. Shasta is one of several places that hold experiences for the author. She uses the mountain and other places to illustrate the need to have a sense of place that is not only at once local and global, but is at the same time a sense of place interconnected with one's own true deep feelings. According to the author, connection to deep feeling is both easy and difficult; and the lack of self-connections results in the lack of any kind of ecologically viable understanding of earth's tenuable situation. The difficult philosophical problems presented in the chapers are reflected upon with personal anecdotes. Personal questions, poems, stories, prose and images are used to communicate the need to change stagnant ways of being. The suggestion is given that radical language (metaphorical story-telling and poetic language; and paradoxically, pure silence, too) can help reunite individuals (and society, too) with their own experience of the earth. Contains a substantial bibliography of many leading thinkers concerned with the nature of language as it concerns the various ecologies of place. The mountain is mentioned on pages 37, 43, 44, 45. A drawing of Mt. Shasta by the author appears on the cover.The author concludes by writing: 'Complexity is really quite simple you see. All matter has the same basic structure. This essence can be expressed in infinite ways, indefinitely. This is only one way of wading through, dangling and spinning on, falling, hiking over, peering down and sliding across the simple complexity of my world. This is my way of perceiving Meadow in written words. Circular, yet not limited to a perfect circle. The beginning rests at an end, continuous... There is no end to this story.

of Cooke's concern for the preservation of Mt. Shasta. He states that: "After
all, we have only begun to climb this beautiful mountain of ours. The first
ascent was made only 77 years ago. Let us try to keep the mountain as fascinating
for an ascent as she was to those old timers, Pierce, Diehl, Muir and King--from

Begins with the statement that "It might seem strange that a person from the midwest, specifically Cincinnati, should show an interest in setting aside of Wilderness on Mount Shasta." Cooke explains that in 1936 the president of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History asked him to go to Mount Shasta to collect a species of plant (Campanula wilkinsiana) which at the time was thought to only grow on Mount Shasta. Thus began lifelong series of visits to Mount Shasta. Cooke knew Mount Shasta in more botanical and scientific detail than anyone else ever has, and his reminiscences have great value to readers interested in the natural history of the mountain. This account of the mountain was written in support of Mt. Shasta wilderness conservation legislation, but it is nonetheless a highly personal story.���� 26. Environmental Issues.� [MS244].

Shasta. The author states that "...it wasn't until 1912 that the first serious steps were taken to make Mount Shasta a national park. With the Panama Pacific Exposition scheduled to be held in San Francisco in 1915, the Sisson Promotion Association in the town of what is now Mount Shasta City wanted the mountain to be designated a national park in order to draw tourists to the North State."

meeting held near Mt. Shasta and led by Wintu shaman Flora Jones. The article
begins: "We came together on that warm, sunny day, a gathering of good
spirits. I feel myself there again. I am sitting behind our Indian Doctor, Pui-lu-li-met,
meaning 'Eastern-Flower-Woman,' her Wintu name. She is also known as Flora Jones,
a shaman of the Wintu people. I am facing Mt. Shasta, or Bohem Puyuk, as it
is called in the Wintu language, or Akoo-Yet, by my own Pit River people."
����� The author develops a narrative of the beauty and meaning of Mt. Shasta for the Indian people.

Shasta Ski Area. ERA's role in the preparation of this document was defined by the proponent and the U.S. Forest Service, with the objective to provide a separate technical document which could be used as resource material in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), and as reference material for those who wanted greater clarification of the information contained in the EIS. Specifically, ERA's role was to examine the previous research which had defined a relevant market for Mt. Shasta Ski Area, to provide a financial analysis of the social, economic, and fiscal impacts of each of the alternatives which appeared to be financially feasible" (p. I-1).���� 26.

Lynn -Regional Forester, U.S.F.S.: Letter to Carl Martin July 21, 1998: Decision To Revoke Special Use Permits for Mount Shasta Ski Area). Two areas of concern are addressed in this document: I. Revocation pursuant to Clause 54 (Historic Sites). II. Revocation pursuant to Clause 16, Public Interest. This document outlines the procedures used to assess the historical and cultural significance of the Mount Shasta Cosmological District as well as the Panther meadows area. Both these areas were found to be eligible for the National Register, and that the proposed Ski Area would affect the significance of these areas. The effects incude "adverse air quality changes, diminishing the setting of Panther Meadows; adverse visual effects due to lift line construction, impacting the setting and use of both the Cosmological District and Panther Meadows, adverse noise effects to both settings, physical alteration of the District, and generally, adverse effects to the overall setting of both properties, where setting is one of the characteristics or values that makes them eligible." As for the public interest, the author states that "I recommend revocation for reasons in the public interest because of the adverse effect to historic properties, because there is intense public controversy and an absence of consensus about the project, as well as significant obstacles to implementation, and because an existing ski area on private land that appears to be providing skiing opportunities to meet current skier demand.

of private land ownership on the forested slopes of Mt. Shasta has prevented
any meaningful protection of the mountain's integrity. As one of many cited
examples of the power of private groups to exploit the mountain, the author
states that: "In the summer of 1974, Southern Pacific logged its lands

A thorough survey of California science from the Gold Rush times to the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The emphasis is on those scientists who studied nature. Presented are the reasons for the scientific undertakings of the time period and also how the grand environment of California shaped the personalities and opinions of the scientists themselves. In particular the book explores how Mt. Shasta affected William Brewer, Clarence King, and John Muir. Other scientists and explorers who dealt with Mt. Shasta are discussed in this book, but not in connection with the mountain per se; they include Alice Eastwood, George Davidson, Asa Gray, Willis Linn Jepson, Thomas Starr King,� Carleton Watkins, C.

The landscape itself offered a richness of experience which they recognized could be quickly wiped out by large commercial interests. By the end of the era, however, Smith contends that a new breed of politically astute engineers, unimpressed with the "sentimental" views of the earlier generation, managed the land with a cold and hard agenda. The author sums this up by saying: "The scientists who replaced them had been trained to view social activism as unprofessional. California's first scientific community had tried to take its message of environmentalism to the nation's leaders on the East Coast.

The decision to revoke is based upon Clause 54 (.�..historic sites...�) and Clause16 (�...public interest requires termination...�) of each of the permits. Taking into account eligibility requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, it was evident that �The Mount Shasta Cosmological District (a historic district comprised of various contributing features),� and �Panther Meadows (a Native American ceremonial site)� were eligible for the the national register, and that the Mt. Shasta Ski park would adversely effect the historical and current cultural traditions of several Native American Tribes; thus clause 54 was invoked. Clause 16 was invoked because �The Mt. Shasta Ski Area project would absorb an extraordinary amount of time, money and resources� over a period of many years, and that the expenditure of this extraordinary amount of resources was not in the public interest. There is an additional paragraph explaining how the current (i.e., 1998) Mt. Shasta Ski Park was meeting the public interest satisfactorally and thus obviating the need for another ski area.���� 26.

Shasta Wilderness, Weed, Ca., June 30, 1979. First Session on H. R. 3299.�
Washington, D. C.: 1980. 96th Congress.���� This book contains approximately
200 pages of testimony and letters for and against a proposed Mt. Shasta Wilderness
Bill, HR 3299. Logging companies, spiritual organizations, the Sierra Club,
ski area developers, lawyers, doctors, etc., present cogent arguments to preserve
their respective uses of the land within the multiple use context. Some of the
testimony is quite candid, and some is quite amusing. One participant reads
a published poem about Mt. Shasta and the Great White Brotherhood� (p. 88),
while another states that ecologically speaking the mountain could handle up
to 10,000 skiers a day� (p. 99).
����� Many of the conflicts between environmentalists and developers are brought out in the testimony. Some of the dialogue is downright biblical. One speaker said: "I just want to say I made a statement in my district a couple of years ago that we owed it to the Creator to keep a few of His lands the way He gave them to us--He or she gave them to us--and one of my constituents said, 'If the Creator was so interested in wilderness, why did He send his only Son down to Earth as a carpenter?' And that had us stumped for a bit, until one of my aides thought of the answer. He said, 'Well, you have to remember that his Son spent 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, in order to get His mission on this part.' And I thank you" (p. 71).���� 26.

Several paragraphs of the report detail aspects of the mountain such as "the mountain also has spiritual and religious values for many native Americans and others.," and "...the Committee agreed to the deletion of some 620 acres from the President's wilderness proposal in the Giddy Giddy Gulch and Sand Flat areas. This area possesses a fine stand of Shasta red fir and is popular...however, it is suitable for the possible relocation of mechanized skiing..." and "The Committee further notes that there are extensive checkerboard land holdings within the proposed wilderness. This issue is discussed at length in the 'Land Exchange' portion of this Report" (pp. 21-22).���� 26. Environmental Issues.� [MS1077].

Shasta - Trinity National Forests, Mount Shasta Ski Area.� Redding, Calif.:
USDA, Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, [1988]. This final (1988) Environmental
Impact Statement on a major proposed Mount Shasta Ski area describes the various
impacts of development which would be the likely outcome of each of six proposed
ski development alternatives. These six alternatives concern only a specific
timber line region on the south side of Mount Shasta itself. The EIS contains
a history of the circumstances leading up to the six alternatives.
����� This EIS consists of four major chapters:� I. "PURPOSE AND NEED", consisting of discussions of the political and social controversies and histories leading up to the need for a final EIS.� II. "ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED, INCLUDING THE PROPOSED ACTION", consisting of a lengthy study of each of the six alternatives, and including a comparison of the alternatives. III. "THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT", consisting of detailed studies of the preexisting physical and biological factors (i.e. air quality, avalanche hazards, climate, fire hazards, geology, geothermal resources, hydrology and water quality, research natural areas, soils, snow conditions, vegetation, visual resources, wilderness, and wildlife)� and of the human environment (i.e. community services/fiscal impacts, cultural resources, economics, land use and ownership, noise, recreation, skier demand/financial feasibility, social, transportation, and utilities.) IV. "ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES", consisting of estimates of the consequences of each of the six alternative ski areas proposals on the physical and biological environment and on the human environment.� The EIS contains many maps. Each chapter has a valuable bibliography I-p. 16, II-p. 92, III-pp. 99-102, IV-pp. 107. Numerous Appendices are included, including those on management practices, vegetation associations, wildlife species lists, financial feasibility models, and other important materials. There is an index on pp. VII-1 - VII-4
����� Note that Appendix K (pp. K.1-143), on Public Comments on the Draft EIS and Forest Service Responses, makes long and interesting reading. This appendix provides material representative of public opinion of the various general and specific considerations of building a ski area on Mount Shasta, and contains examples of the Forest Service's methods for agreeing with or rejecting these opinions.
����� Note that this Mount Shasta Ski Area FEIS, unlike most other EIS documents, it contains no date of publication or printing, making it difficult for future readers to determine exactly when the book was issued. Also this FEIS gives almost no account of the hundreds of 19th and early 20th Century works about Mt. Shasta in the fields of literature, art, religion, and science.���� 26.

the Summary Introduction" "This is a summary of the Final Supplement
to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for a downhill ski development
on Mt. Shasta, issued by the USDA Forest Service in September 1988. The FEIS
provided alternatives and an analysis of the environmental, economic, and social
effects of a site-specific proposal submitted by Mt. Shasta Ski Area, Inc. in
January 1985. The Forest Supervisor's decision to authorize the development
of a ski area to be constructed in three phases and capable of serving 4800
skiers at one time (SAOT) was appealed to the Regional Forester who subsequently
affirmed the Forest Supervisor's decision in whole. The Regional Forester's
decision was then appealed to the chief of the Forest Service who directed the
Regional Forester to oversee the preparation of a supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement that would consider a range of alternative sites and impacts
of possible future development on private land" (p. S-1)."
����� Contains many color maps and black and white charts. Contains a list of preparers noting education and experience. Because this FEIS Supplement was authorized only after many legal appeals, it contains information required but absent from the original FEIS.
����� Note that there is a separately published appendix: "Appendix Final Supplement to Final Environmental Impact Statement Mt. Shasta Ski Area."���� 26. Environmental Issues.� [MS1057].

This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for a proposed Mount Shasta Ski Area was required after appeals resulted in an October 1989 legal decision for a supplementary EIS. The supplement, with a record of decision by the Forest Service as to the selection of a plan for a new Ski Area, was completed and printed in December of 1990. The document addresses environmental concerns raised after the publication of the 1988 Final EIS, and proposes a reduced alternative plan based on a composite of five action alternatives considered in the 1988 Final EIS. This is a major document in the history of the ongoing (as of 1992) proposal to develop a major high altitude ski area on Mount Shasta.���� 26. Environmental Issues.� [MS60].

Shasta Wilderness. The four alternatives were: No Action; Maximum Wilderness Protection; Maximum Recreation Opportunity; and a Wilderness/Recreation Mix. Issues include wilderness carrying capacity, permit systems, water and sanitation, domestic pets, wood fires, meadow protection, outfitters, riding and pack stock, trail maintenance, etc. Contains a call for comments before May 7, 1990.

29, 1978. Final draft 'not filed. Recommendations incorporated into the Rare
II FES filed January 4, 1979.'���� Detailed report on the major issues resulting
from designating 16,740 acres of Mt. Shasta land, mostly above timberline, as
a "Wilderness." Included topics in the study are: Physiology; Visual
Resource; Climate; Geology; Soils; Mineral Resource; Water Resource; Air Quality;
Wilderness Resource, and the need for more Wilderness; Plants; Cultural Resource
(historical, early settlers, spiritual, mythological); Recreation Resource (hiking,
camping, off-road, downhill skiing); Wildlife Resource; Timber Resource."
The study enumerates the evaluation criteria, alternative proposals, and preferred
alternatives. Contains maps. Includes letters of intent from landowners. The
paper also summarizes public comments which pointed out numerous significant
errors in an earlier draft of the proposal. For example, portions of the study
area were assigned improper wilderness values, and sustained yield timber harvests
were incorrectly multiplied by a factor of ten due to a typographical error.
The numerous public comments, and the forest service's responses, demonstrate
a variety of opinions as to the value of "Wilderness."
����� "The Mt. Shasta Wilderness study was initiated by an interdisciplinary team which gathered and evaluated resource information. Description and development of alternatives, and alternative decision analysis and recommendations were performed by a group consisting of the Forest Supervisor, the Deputy Forest Supervisor, and two District Rangers. The interdisciplinary team consisted of 14 specialists in wilderness, soil, wildlife, recreation, archaeology, timber management, transportation planning, minerals, social sciences, and economics" (p. 2).���� 26.

VIDEO: Justin Bieber Shaves Mustache!
Justin Bieber is returning to the baby face that made him a star.
He's sending his "Beliebers" into a frenzy with a new Instagram video that shows him shaving off his mustache.
Justin then posted a clean-shaven selfie, along with the caption "[Your] boy got rid of his stash." The majority of his fans seemed pleased with his decision to say goodbye to the tiny bit of facial hair he'd been growing out for months. Many followers thanked him for finally shaving with enthusiastic, caps-locked comments.
@justinbieber FINALLY !

Some are crediting his ex Selena Gomez for convincing the 20-year-old to get rid of the mustache.
The two are rumored to have reconciled last week, and a source tells "HollywoodLife" that Justin is eager to look his best for his longtime love now that they are spending more time together.
New music coming...this year :)
