When it comes to gaining fishing knowledge, many bass anglers look to discover new lures or learn a new technique. But relatively few put enough effort into understanding bass behavior through the seasons — especially what is actually going on underwater during summer in deep lakes. Elite Series pro Brian Snowden sheds some light on the often-mentioned but seldom-explained thermocline.
"The thermocline is really nothing more than two layers of water that overlap each other," he explains. "You've got the warmer water with higher oxygen content on top, and in deeper reservoirs, you'll have a bottom layer that's much colder and contains much less oxygen."
Snowden explains that, with some assistance from your electronics with the sensitivity "turned way up," the thermocline is easily distinguishable as a faint black line on the sonar screen. Once identified, much of the water located below the thermocline can be eliminated due to lack of oxygen.
"Finding the thermocline is especially helpful in the summer when you're fishing vertically in deep, clear reservoirs," Snowden points out. "The fish are never going to be below the thermocline. They might get close to that cooler water, but they're going to position themselves in the water that has the highest oxygen content." When targeting fish located just above the thermocline, Snowden favors either a jigging spoon or a drop shot.
One thing to keep in mind, Snowden says, is that thermoclines are not present in all lakes. "It has to be a deeper lake," he says. "If the lake is shallow, a thermocline just won't develop. Also, if the lake has a lot of water movement — Kentucky Lake, for example — it won't generally develop because of the current."
Snowden says that on his home lake of Table Rock, the thermocline begins to appear in June when the water begins to warm. "The thermocline is going to stay until the water starts cooling down. What's going to happen is the surface temperature becomes equal to the bottom of the lake. When that happens, the lake 'turns over.'"
Snowden explains that when the turnover occurs, it's actually a movement of water from the bottom to the surface. "You might begin to see little groups of algae off the bottom."
When the fall turnover occurs, Snowden points out that fishing can become extremely difficult on deep, clear water reservoirs. "When this happens it dirties the water that's normally very clear, and it also allows the bass to move anywhere they want," he says.
"On Table Rock, in the fall of the year, you can catch bass as deep as 60 feet once the thermocline breaks up. The fish can begin moving anywhere within the water column. It can really make finding fish difficult because it effectively doubles the search zone."
The good news is that, according to Snowden, when the fall breakup occurs, it doesn't happen simultaneously across the lake. "The lake will turn over in sections," he reveals. "You can move from one section of the lake to another and still be able to fish the thermocline. It usually takes a few weeks for it to cover an entire lake."

Damn - that's some serious presidential Q-tipping. Obama take note!
I must confess that I've figured out how to use an internet alarm clock, so I don't wake up to NPR anymore. Tahnk da goodiness!
Currently I'm rousing to Al Jazeera via KPFA, and while I'm not terribly keen on Al Jazeera either, at least they don't have all that feel-good fluff about celebrities and whatnot. And no Scott f**king Simon. - 1/15/12, 8:31 PM

I did not expect to find anything about this on NPR and I didn't.
Fallujah babies: Under a new kind of siege : Doctors and residents blame US weapons for catastrophic levels of birth defects in Fallujah's newborns.
NPR of course has a long history of minimizing civilian destruction by US forces--Fallujah in particular. An item in this blog from last May during the Libya siege, A Tale of Two Cities - NPR and US Exceptionalism shows the stark double standard in NPR coverage:
"There is one standard for countries and forces that the US government opposes and a completely different standard for the US government and its closest allies."
For a further exercise, look up "fallujah anne garrels" and listen to some of the embedded reports from November 2004. The way she casually describes the taking of the hospital by US Marines, a war crime, like it's a good thing reports of casualties won't be able to come from there anymore. Ooof. - 1/16/12, 11:34 AM

All the NPR 1% salaried news readers have been telling us how important and how much they honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King was a pro-Union, anti-war pacifist who believed in economic justice.
Ask your self: When was the last time you heard any of those viewpoints on NPR's news shows ATC,
Morning Edition?
NPR where they honor the man, but hate his beliefs.
Scott Simon, the #thebloodyQuaker, was all gushy on Twitter about MLK. Here'shis Twit platitude:
"Happy King Day. No man ever deserved a day in his name more than MLK. Like Lincoln, he made America live up to its creed."
That's Scott Simon, who toured the country in the run up to the Iraq War giving pro-war speeches, the man who never hasdany anti-war or pacifist guests on his show ever.
But Simon does, on a weekly basis. host writers from The National Review, a publication that defended segregation and repeatedly smear Dr. King with vile racist stereo-type smears.

A crush, drove, multitude, press, push, squash, and throng. NPR only uses number-words to describe the size of protests when they're low-balling by a factor of 10 or 100.

Glenn Greenwald has an excellent piece on why it was so nauseating to listen to On Point this morning with regards to SOPA.

I'm not sure if it has been reported yet on this site but buried in a larger article is this interesting, if not surprising, gem: "Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Jan. 8, and apparently unsure whether host Bob Schieffer would have the courage to ask the $64 question, Panetta decided to ask it himself rhetorically: "Are they [the Iranians] trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No."
Yet, in a highly illustrative example of media hypersensitivity on this issue, PBS was not even willing to let the Defense Secretary's comment reach the ears of the network's listeners. Its "NewsHour" program deleted Panetta's emphatic "no" and played only his subsequent comment:
"But we know that they are trying to develop a nuclear capability. And that's what concerns us. And our red line to Iran is do not develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us."

The NPR Ombudsman upset that a NPR reporter actually reported on GOP race baiting.
NPR never would have had this problem if the reporter had just stuck with NPR classic "he said, she said" journalism template.
The Ombot seems to have forgotten that Lil' Ricky initially admitted he did say the word "black people" and only changed his story later. Guess NPR is suppose to only report what the GOP candidates want them to, just like when it covers the Pentagon.

Here's a couple of interesting stories on 1% Radio from around the web:
First, I'm not the only one to notice that Washington DC based NPR has almost no Black male reporters:
"Alex P. Kellogg, one of NPR's two black male on-air journalists, has left the network after 14 months on the job, Kellogg told Journal-isms on Monday.
Kellogg's departure reaffirms that the network's decades-old issues regarding diversity have yet to be solved. They are often attributed to a corporate culture that outlasts management changes."
NPR Loses Another Black Male Voice
Here's a article by the same writer in October 2011 spelling out NPR's lack of diversity. Note his conversation with NPR CEO, yet it Suburban White Radio at it's finest:
"I only met Weiss once, about a decade ago, but I never forgot our conversation. We were chatting over hors d'oeuvres at a convention of the National Association of Black Journalists, the organization I helped create. "So what do you think of All Things Considered?" she asked, referring to the flagship NPR show she produced for many years. "I love the show," I admitted. "But why does it have to be so white?"
"But we have Juan Williams," she replied defensively. I almost choked on my stuffed mushroom. But since she was paying for the canapés, I politely let the discussion move on to other topics. How ironic that, a decade later, the symbol of her liberal credentials would cause her departure from the network."
Gary Knell: New NPR Chief Faces a Problem With Diversity
Since we're on the subject of the "FOX News Negro" as designated another Black writer (Goolge the article it's a hoot) Juan Williams, for Vanity Fair. Remember all the years thinking Juan sucked, pretty much everyone else a NPR did to.
Don't agree with everything, but it a nice description of the train that is NPR. Turns out for years Juan was doing substandard unprofessional work and everyone knew it. Except the "Bloody Quaker" and fellow FOXcateer Scott Simon, he like and supported someone everyone else knew was a hack.
""Williams almost caused an international incident a month later, after reporting on Fox News Sunday that General David Petraeus, then commanding American forces in Iraq, had sought White House permission to chase arms infiltrators into Iran, a step that would have both violated the military chain of command and that he'd publicly decried—at a Senate hearing—only a few weeks before. At NPR's Baghdad bureau, Williams's report prompted disbelief, and ridicule."

Looks like I'm not the only one getting tired of NPR's warmonger against Iran (aka Iraq 2.0) here's FAIR observation:
"Evaluating reporting and commentary about Iran could be reduced to one simple rule: There is no evidence that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon. Statements that suggest otherwise are misleading. Reports that fail to point this out are doing readers/viewers/listeners a disservice.
That sounds simple enough. But don't tell that to the outlets that are being criticized over their Iran reporting.
Take NPR and PBS, both of which were singled out by the group Just Foreign Policy."

NPR reporters are so shallow and cowardly they can't even do a story on art history without waffling:
"It's 1949 over at National Public Radio, which this weekend aired an astounding segment on its popular program, "All Things Considered," claiming that Jackson Pollock, the Abstract Expressionist painter universally regarded as among the 20th century's great artists, is deeply controversial. Pollock died in 1956. The broadcast was in recognition of the centennial of his birth, which fell on Saturday.
"Even a century since his birth, American 'splatter artist' Jackson Pollock still provokes heated debate about the very definition of art," says NPR's Web version of the story. "Was a man who placed a canvas on the floor and dripped paint straight from the can actually creating a work of art?" (You can listen to the broadcast and read the Web story here; a transcript of the broadcast segment, which claims "his work is as derided as it is desired," is here.)
Um, huh? What's a "splatter artist"? Who is having a "heated debate"? What century are we living in?
The Pollock shtick reminds me of deniers of the Holocaust or global climate change. Virtually no one in the field doubts Pollock's achievement and significance for the history of Modern art, but one can always find some crank willing to abjure. What is this, National Booboisie Radio?
Wait, it gets worse. The really remarkable feature of the NPR story is that no one in it does renounce Pollock. No one.
Nobody, either in the Web story or in the broadcast, is quoted as expressing any doubt about Pollock's standing. Nobody takes the negative side in the supposedly raging debate."

Gender bias at NPR — and what it reveals about the world of literary fiction - News Features
"NPR and WBUR talked about male writers about 70 percent of the time. Of the roughly 60 works of fiction discussed on NPR, only about 20 were written by women. Of the six novelists featured on more than one program, all but Amy Waldman, author of The Submission, were men. Of the three novelists interviewed on more than one program, all were men. Terry Gross interviewed twice as many male as female novelists, and Morning Edition apparently dedicated no coverage at all to women fiction writers." - 1/31/12, 3:42 PM

Lastly, we're not the only one's who've notice the Planet (worship the) Money promotes poor economic understanding and corporate agtiprop:
"Adam Davidson ". . . is what we might call a "One Percent Whisperer"—a salesman for conservative economic philosophy who regurgitates ruinous myths that have led to policies that depress prosperity and chuck justice out the window. Take a quick look at the most recent example of his one percent apologia, "What Does Wall Street Really Do for You?" and you'll get an idea of where he's really coming from.
Financial blogger and author Yves Smith (whose Naked Capitalism website is a must-read for the financially-literate) noted that Mr. Davidson's recent column, "The Other Reason Europe is Going Broke," "manages the impressive feat of making you stupider than before you read it." She catalogues the misrepresented facts and appeals to American prejudices that form the hallmark of Mr. Davidson's work."

And i have asked the people at whyy what the phrase "operating expenses" means. I still think npr/whyy is nothing but a fund-raising propagandizing tool used by the 1% to calm the cubicle class who are so . . . . they think npr is "liberal" and "not at all like Fox".

NPR mischaracterizing Freddie's hedging it's risk, something every bank does and should do, and distorting it horribly. Financial risk management is highly wonkish and very complicated, something I stayed away from and kept in formed just enough to do my job.
I think a good analogy would be it as if NPR is portraying surgery as if it where an assault: "Doctors. who are suppose to protect their patients are taking knives and intentionally cutting their patients and making them bleed!!!!"

Yep, I know I look to the US Catholic Bishops for moral guidance...NOT! - 2/13/12, 5:57 AM
when did the "mission statement" of 1% radio state anything about regime change? I think the UN is wrestling with this question; is the purpose of the UN to prevent WWW 111 or is it's purpose regime change.
And I love the irony of Al-Queda and NPR being strange(?) bedfellows as regards Syria.

NPR Math?
On last Friday's @MorningEdition, Steve Inskeep (life support system for GOP talking points) crows that "Catholics narrowly support" the White House position on insurance coverage of birth control http://n.pr/z6VnaO.
A WaPo poll indicates that Catholics favor the White House by 58% versus 37% a margin of +21 thats a "narrow" margin? http://wapo.st/vZ27vF
Another "narrow margin" in that NPR report which evens states that 98% of Catholic women use birth control. To Steve 98% vs 2% is also "narrow".
Maybe Inskeep forget the preferred "view from no where" NPR framing device which would have been "Catholics Divided over White House policy"?

MtW, If there were justice at NPR, instead of all the underwriting Croc of lies, they'd have to interject periodically readings from the litany of Catholic child abuse...though there really isn't enough air time, is there?

Finally, a Scott Simon who doesn't reflexively bow to the powerful:
"The government's deal with banks over their foreclosure practices after 16 months of investigations is cheap for the loan servicers while costly for bond investors including pension funds, according to Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Scott Simon."

Thanks Grumps.
I'm always stalking around here, but for various reasons (mostly personal) don't post that much anywhere. I think you now that the hopelessness for any change for the positive at NPR is one of the non-personal reasons.
I don't listen to NPR at all NPR. I check in once in a while when someone posts something here.
I do appreciate what all of you do here (especially MyT for keeping this treasure trove in existence) and rely on you to fill out what I know about the world. Glenn Greenwald and CommonDreams.org are my two main other sources.
I also get some journalistic headline news from a Poynter.org daily email, but they are about what you would expect considering the Alicia Shepard used them as a paragon of journalistic ethics and also considering that the newsletter is sponsored by KochFacts.org. Still, without meaning to, they lead me towards some worthwhile stuff.

A little amusement for the NPR Check crowd: watch Mara Liasson sneer, stare, grimace, and go through any number of piqued facial and ocular contortions as Jake Tapper grills White House Press Secretary Carney about the administration's hypocritical praise for journalists abroad and its contempt for journalism at home. She's seated in the row directly behind Tapper, and almost upstages him with her facial scenery-chewing. It's unfortunately necessary to sit through a brief 15-second commercial to see the show--but almost worth it in this case.

a.m. - That was hilarious. I can just see her in Civics class in the Village of Scarsdale, NY, where she grew up* - playing toady for the teacher by ridiculing any other kid who dares question authority.
*The per capita income for the village was $89,907. That ranks 59th highest income in the country and 2nd most for towns with a population with over 10,000.

Scarsdale is a regular incubator of enlightened citizenry, it seems. From Wikipedia:
Scarsdale became the subject of national controversy in the 1950s when a "Committee of Ten" led by Otto Dohrenwend alleged "Communist infiltration" in the public schools.[5] A thorough investigation by the town rejected these claims. This same group, known at the Scarsdale Citizens Committee, sued to prevent a benefit for the Freedom Riders from taking place at the public high school in 1963 because some of the performers (Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Pete Seeger) were allegedly "communist sympathizers and subversives."

"Let me see here in my notebook what sycophantic question I can ask."
Then...she notices something
"Wait! This guy is actually asking a proving question. Doesn't he know his job?"
Raises eyebrows
"He's actually CRITICIZING those in power!"
Grimaces in disbelief
"I've got to DISTANCE myself from THIS guy! I have to make it as obvious as possible that what he's doing is not MY idea of journalism."
Goes back to studying her notebook.
"Let me see if I can make up for his speaking truth to power by asking a question that is at the same time servile and promotes the conservative agenda." - 2/23/12, 10:59 PM

2. Politifact is one of their "projects".
3. KochFacts.Com sponsors their daily newsletter.
4. "Kinsey Wilson (a member of Poynter's board of trustees) moves from general manager of digital media to chief content officer, overseeing all of NPR's content: news, programming and digital media."
NPR also just released its new ethics handbook.

Journey To The Center Of The Nonsense
I admit I still get a bit surprised when I read/hear otherwise very smart very liberal people singing the greatest hits of David Brooks and the Totebaggers. But then I remember I was sorta there once. The gateways into "Very Serious Stuff" are The Economist, NPR, and the NYT. They vary a bit, but all are basically left-leaning Republican outlets, if left-leaning Republicans existed.
So NPR has a new Ethics Handbook - perhaps MyTWords has actually managed to penetrate their defenses with NPR Check - bravo! I hear the new handbook says:
Our goal is not to please those whom we report on or to produce stories that create the appearance of balance, but to seek the truth.
It will be interesting to see how the NPR Ombudsperson handles the "enhanced interrogation" she'll now get if they keep up the usual shoddy NPR reporting. - 2/29/12, 9:29 AM

i was waiting all day for the "report" of the thank you dinner at the wh the other night for the occupational force stationed in Iraq. But, there was nothing the next day. I found that "interesting" to say the least. Maybe even 1% radio found that a bridge to far.
i am trying to find out exactly what Director of Strategic Planning is at NPR. That's Carvin's title and it seems like it is about formenting regime change in Iran, Syria, and probably Venezuela.
Dino Temple of doom hasn't yet been told if there are "terrorists" involved in Syrian revolt. You know those murdering, blood-thirsty, inhumane killers that were a major part of the resistance when they were fighting American occupiers in Iraq. Now they may be "freedom fighters" in Syria.

I listen to a public radio station that has only a little bit of NPR content -- 5 min. top of the hour news breaks, World Cafe and a couple other programs. ATC, ME, etc. are on a different local station. But even still I sometimes hear something that makes me scream at the radio. Reporting on the Limbaugh story yesterday, news anchor Lakshmi Singh stated that Limbaugh's remarks were in response to Sandra Fluke's testimony 'in favor of free contraception'. An end run around the actual substance and effectively legitimizing Rush's POV on the matter, i.e. that the rest of us end up paying for Fluke's sexual adventures. Fluke was saying it should be COVERED under a policy she is paying for, is all. The difference is important.
^ Ohhh, give Fatso a break. He just wants to watch the viddies. ;-)
vationts(!) goonsta(!) - 3/6/12, 4:44 PM
Just heard a short bit on ME about school testing, which was actually mainly about a specific charter school. Paraphrase of parental quote: We were attracted to this charter school because they only spend a two week period on test prep, not letting it railroad the entire year's plan.
NOT mentioned: Does the charter school face the same immediate sanctions as a regular public school if their test results are not up to snuff, and are they in the same place in the NCLB/RTTT death-ratchet system or state laws? (I don't know the answer, so if someone could Google that for me...thanks!)
If the answer to both those questions are "yes" then it's not *crucial* to mention that for fairness, but it's a sufficiently important issue that they surely could have found time to squeeze in a clause like "even though the school faces the same high stakes for test results as public schools.
If the answers are "no," then this piece is a biased hatchet job that leaves unstated the fact that public schools that fail in the impossible demand to constantly ratchet upward in standardized test scores will be shut down and be replaced by charters, which won't be under the same pressure. In practice, most of those charters can be expected to be run not by parents or genuine community groups but by the same Ed Reformers and astroturfers (Gates, TFA, LEV, etc) currently driving the Democratic party to the right on education issues.
Of course, even if they have the same consequences, they may have less worry about test results due to cherry-picking or self-selection by more motivated students. That's always a powerful advantage for charter schools.

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- Only two scores Thursday at Pine Needles were higher than Michelle Wie's 82. One of them is from hall-of-famer Karrie Webb, who shot an 83. She called it one of her worst rounds ever.
"I felt good coming in. I don't know what happened," Webb said. "I just played bad from the start."
McDonald's LPGA Championship winner Suzann Pettersen scored five bogeys and a double-bogey before recording her first par. She shot a front nine 43 before recovering with a 33 on the back to finish 5-over.
Twenty-five players in this year's field are under the age of 20, the same number as the 2006 Open. Eighteen-year-old Angela Park leads with a 3-under 68.
"I go down in the locker room and it's like having my family there," said veteran Juli Inkster. "I have a 17 year old and a 13 year old. I don't know where it's going, but they're getting good fast. And it's fun to see."
Morgan Pressel was visibly limping during Wednesday's practice round - the result of a spider bite suffered on her ankle Tuesday night. Thursday however she seemed fully recovered.
"This morning I woke up and the first thing I reached for is my ankle," said Pressel. "And it is still a little swollen, but it's gone down a lot and I had no pain when I was swinging, so that's good."
Most of the gallery had gone home by the time the players went back on the course following an almost four-hour rain delay. But that didn't stop LPGA Tour veteran Laura Davies from a show-stopping eagle on the 356-yard 8th hole.
Earlier, Lorena Ochoa eagled the par-4 14th from a fairway bunkers 195 yards from the pin.
Erica Blasberg struggled early in her round before rattling off three straight birdies to finish the front nine. She says getting on the greens at Pine Needles is the difficult part - once you're on however you can be aggressive.
"Up and downs here are harder than most places," said Blasberg. "But you can birdie holes. It's easy to make putts out here."

Anyone looking back at the final scores of the 2009 Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Anne's will almost certainly come to the wrong conclusion that this was a comfortable three-shot win for Catriona Matthew. It was anything but as the seemingly imperturbable Scot struggled to hit a fairway throughout the final round and was only rescued by some superb recovery shots and a bunch of astonishing long putts.

The children's charity is worried that due to many of Savile's victims being abused in the 1970s and 1980s, people may believe sexual abuse is not as common now as it was then.
The charity also fears people still do not know where to turn for help or that they will hesitate to report child abuse until they feel 100% certain.
Peter Watt, director of the NSPCC helpline, said: "By bravely speaking out, Savile's victims have done a great public service in raising awareness of child sex abuse and its long-lasting, devastating effect on victims.
"Our advert aims to remind people that child abuse remains a widespread problem and children are still abused today.
"To end their suffering and bring their abusers to justice we must all act now. Savile's victims waited decades to be heard and helped. We can't let this happen again.
"With this advert we want to send out a clear message about how vitally important it is to act on your suspicions and that the NSPCC is here to help you do this.
"Our trained counsellors will discuss your concerns and the best course of action."
Some 589 people have come forward with information relating to the Savile scandal, with a total of 450 complaints against the the BBC presenter and DJ himself, mainly alleging sexual abuse, Scotland Yard said.

What we have here are seven photogravures, probably removed from a book. On the back of each is a description printed on a thin piece of paper that has a faint ghost image. It must have been the protective cover for each print. Top row left: Hannibal Crossing the Rhone by Henri-Paul Motte. Next is Hermann's Triumph Over the Romans by Paul Thumann. Center row left: Charlotte Corday and Marat by Paul-Jacques-Aime Baudry. Next is The Victors of Salamis by Fernand Cormon. Last in this row we have MME. Roland in the Prison of Ste. Pelagie by Evariste Carpentier. Last row: The Victims of Galerius by E. K. Liska. Finally we have Gustavus Adolphus Before the Battle of Lutzen by Ludwig Braun. The book is Paradise Lost by Milton. This copy is from 1935.

Re: Seriously, Do The Ravens Need Vonta Leach?
A shame some of these fans can't get more into it
Give me AFC North football any day. Tight, nervous and you're exhausted at the end
Of course it's the Ravens I want to see win
But I'll watch any game, Browns/Steelers on New Years Day was a brilliant game, finished Steelers 13-9
Was roaring on Cleveland for all of it, we'll never know if they could have won it. Swopping an effective Senneca Wallace for a concussed Colt McCoy didn't help!

Re: Seriously, Do The Ravens Need Vonta Leach?
And look what happened, both 49ers and the Ravens should have really won those games. The Giants definitely had a top 5 defense at the end of the season when they got all their players back healthy. They basically shut down the Jets, and the Cowboys on their way to the play offs. Then defensively dominated the Falcons, shut down one of the most explosive offenses in NFL history IN Green Bay, got a bit lucky against the 49ers, then pretty much held the Patriots in check. Infact you saying that they had a poor defense in the season only strengthens my argument, because they finished 9-7, but then went on a huge winning streak with improved defensive play. There is no way in hell that they would have won that SB had their defense not stepped up. At the end of the day the term "defense wins championships" is so true in this years SB, the better defensive team won in the end.
I can agree with you on run first teams, but I think at the end of the day any solid team who has a QB like Flacco who can make the key throws as proven vs the Patriots, amongst numerous other games Cam has actually decided to let him play, who are run/good defense orientated teams, can win a SB in any given year. The Ravens have beaten many explosive teams in the regular season with a run first approach, take the Saints as an example in 2010. They can do this in the play offs too as proven vs the Patriots in 09. I don't think there is a harder team in the league to beat if they are up by at least two scores in the Ravens, you give the Ravens a two score lead, no matter how explosive you are, we are going to run the ball and run the clock, and play good defense. If it's in M and T, that's even more daunting with the crowd noise working against you.
Re: Seriously, Do The Ravens Need Vonta Leach?
I love Leach. Anyone who watch any decent amount of Ravens football would not question his value to the team. Is he worth the cap number? IMO last year he definitively was and my guess is he will be again this year. Lets not forget his job is not just to open holes for Ray Rice, he also has a significant role in terms of pass protection in non obvious passing situations (1st down passes, 2nd down and not long etc). Just think he has more value to the offense than just opening holes for Rice.
A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football,

Focuses on two themes in Aristotle's philosophy and their interconnection. The first is his account of the meaning (or signification) of terms such as 'man', 'fish', and 'eclipse', which refer to kinds of objects or processes. The second is his theory of the essences of these kinds, what we refer to in defining them, and what makes them what they are. For Aristotle, the meaning of such terms is determined by a distinctive type of efficient causal connection between the kind and thoughts with which the terms are associated. However, although these terms signify existing kinds with essences, one ... More

South Africa Plans New Mining Tax
South Africa's ruling African National Congress announced Thursday plans to impose new taxes on its mining industry, in an effort to "share the wealth" with the country's poor.
"The state must capture an equitable share of mineral resources through the tax system and deploy them toward long-term growth and economic transformation," Enoch Godongwana, a top ANC economic policy maker, said at the end of the party's annual conference.
The ANC plan includes the classification of certain mineral as "strategic," reports Bloomberg News. These include iron ore, coal, copper, copper, zinc and nickel. The exporting of these minerals will be managed to ensure South Africa has enough of them in reserves.
Deputy Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene said at the ANC conference on December 17 that all sides should be heard before the taxes set. However, a policy paper published in February called for a 50 percent "resources rent tax," triggered once companies earn returns in excess of about 15 percent annually.
The announcement follows several months of tension surrounding South Africa's mining industry. A strike at a platinum mine northwest of Johannesburg last August turned bloody after strikers killed several security guards and workers who refused to take part in the protest. Police were call in to quell the violence, and wound up opening fire on the strikers, killing 34 of them.
A move to nationalize South Africa's mining industry, which is the world's largest producer of platinum and chrome, has been led by the ANC Youth League. Its disgraced leader, Julius Malema, called for the expropriation of mines back in April 2010 during a rally speech in Zimbabwe.
"We hear you are going straight for the mines, that is what we are going to do in South Africa," Malema said. "They have exploited our minerals for a very long time. We want the mines, now it's our turn."
Investors expecting a nationalization of mines breathed a sigh of relief at the news of higher taxes, reports the Wall Street Journal.
"There shouldn't be from here any expectation that the ANC will move out of here and start deciding who and where we are going to nationalize," said Malusi Gigaba, another economic policy maker in the party and South Africa's public enterprise minister. "The issue of nationalization as we've discussed it over the last few months is off the table."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - 55 Gallon Discus Tank!
55 Gallon Discus Tank! O.K i need to cover a lot BTW, heres just a little information about my aquarium... My tank is a 55 gallon tank. Dimesions are 48 x 18 x 13 i believe. It will have substrate w/ some driftwood but no plants. It will have approximately 6 discus in it with No Other Fish! It will have a 10% water change daily(5 Gallons) and a 25% weekly(15 gallons). I will syphon the tank out bi-weekly. It will have a H.O.T Magnum Canister Filter w/ a DIY powerhead filter. The tank will be tested before and after water changes on the weekly water changes. So... My questions are 1. How do you get discus to grow above 8 inches? 2. How often should i feed freeze-dried bloodworms? 3.Should i feed flake food occasionally? 4.Could i use sand as a substrate, if so which kind do you reccomend? 5.If I can't use sand, what substrate do you reccomend? 6.Should I Feed Adult Discus Live Brine Shrimp? 7.Beefheart/Turkey Heart/Chicken Heart Which One Would You Use? 8.Should I Give Vitamins To My Fish? 9.What Temperature Should I Keep My Tank At? 10.What Would Be the Ideal Range of KH,GH,pH, and Nitrate levels that i should stay in? Thanks, Taylor |
1. Feeding several times a day and keeping the water clean. 2. Once or twice a day, along with other types of foods, like Beefheart, frozen blood worms, frozen mysis shrimp, flake foods, tetra bits, etc. 3. Yes. See answer to #2. 4. Yes, you can use sand. Just make sure it is inert. 5. Gravel or even bare bottom if you don't like to use sand. 6. Yes, if you like. 7. Beefheart 8. Yes, but most beefheart mix usually already contain vitamins. 9. 82°F - 88°F 10. Even though wild discus prefer to be in soft water, tank bred discus can thrive in various ranges. Most fish do fine with Nitrate level of about 40 ppm. Some discus are kept in such prestine water conditions (Nitrate <20ppm) that when grown/raised into a tank with common ppm of 40ppm, they may get stressed out. |
discus also grow larger if there's no aquascaping in the tank |
1. How do you get discus to grow above 8 inches? Perfectly clean water and lots of food 2. How often should i feed freeze-dried bloodworms? Once a day or more 3.Should i feed flake food occasionally? I feed Tetra color bits, mysis shrimp, bloodworms, and brine shrimp (all frozen) 4.Could i use sand as a substrate, if so which kind do you reccomend? Sand is OK as long as you make sure it doesn't get air pockets. 5.If I can't use sand, what substrate do you reccomend? 6.Should I Feed Adult Discus Live Brine Shrimp? Can't hurt. 7.Beefheart/Turkey Heart/Chicken Heart Which One Would You Use? All are fine. 8.Should I Give Vitamins To My Fish? Yes. 9.What Temperature Should I Keep My Tank At? 84 to 86 10.What Would Be the Ideal Range of KH,GH,pH, and Nitrate levels that i should stay in? PH and hardness don't matter unless they have paired off and are laying eggs. The important thing is to keep the pH stable. Nitrates need to be kept under 20 ppm...anything over that and they start to get stressed. If something happens (you get the flu, etc...) and you miss a water change, ppm over 20 won't kill them, they will just get lethargic and start getting darker. So, short term, 20 to 40 is not Horrific, but it is NOT good long term. Have fun. Discus are AWESOME! |
BTW, here's my two cents on something you didn't ask...you're planning on too many Discus for a 55 (only my opinion). I know that the water changes that you plan on will help, but I have 7 young Discus in a 55 right now and they have gotten to the age (9 months now) where they are fighting for territory and stressing each other out. I just haven't had time to move them. Here's some more info for you so that you can gauge how many you want in a tank and how much water maintenance you will need. I have 6 in a 100 gallon (with no other tank mates) and in order to keep the water clean enough, it requires an 85% water change every 6 days. I also have 8 in a 125 with a 6 inch plec, and that one requires an 85% water change every 7 to 9 days. |
Just to touch on the issue of size of fish vs tank, and water quality... if the fish are stocked properly to the size of the tank, the large water changes weekely wouldn't be needed. Changing too much water at once can be dangerous for various reasons. 1. It interferes with the bacterial growth for breaking down waste levels, thus the water changes must be done ALL THE TIME, religously to keep ammonia and nitrite levels from spiking. 2. If there is any difference in pH from the tank water and tap water, a jump or drop in pH can be lethal. 3. If the temp of the water fluctuates too much or too often, this will make the fish sick. That is a lot of discus for a 55 gallon tank. Even with all of the water changes, territory will be an issue as they grow, as will space to swim properly. Full grown, I would never keep more than 4 discus to a 125 gallon tank, with or without a pleco. As for lack of foliage, keep in mind, the plants (even if they are fake) will help to create territory for the fish. A space between 2 objects is a territory, and each fish should have at least 1 territory of its own to get away from the others. Discus can be somewhat shy fish, so the more hiding places the healthier and safer they will be. For substrate use, I would not suggest a bare bottom tank other than quarantine. The substrate and filter media are the 2 places that the bacteria will thrive most to keep the tank cycled and stable. Without substrate, you risk water quality issues as waste builds and not enough bacteria to break it all down. Small gravel, is ideal. Sand can be a problem because it's hard to clean. If/when doing a gravel vac, you have to be careful not to suck up the sand or let it go down your drains because it will collect and clog your plumbing QUICKLY! The issue of air pockets is another good point already mentioned. Those "air pockets" will build up a toxic gas, and if/when disturbed, can be highly toxic to your fish. I'd stick to fine grade gravel, which is slightly bigger than sand and heavier, much easier to take care of. |
Probably becuase BB tanks are easier to syphon up waste/excess food. In planted tanks with substrate, it may be difficult, unless you perform gravel vacs daily. But I know someone on a planted tank forum who has raised discus in a planted tank with no problems of growth rate. |
I have raised discus in planted tanks with no problems in growth rate. Bare bottom tanks make it difficult to keep enough decoration in the tank to keep the fish stress free and healthy and makes it near impossible to keep a good bacteria culture capable of handling the waste levels in the tank. A bare tank with nothing in it other than fish and a piece of wood or 2, is not going to be a very healthy tank. |

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.

text: HTC Vigor to be First Beats by Dre Phone?Kat Hannaford8/12/11 4:20amFiled to: unconfirmedHtc vigorBeats by drePhonesHtcAndroidvigorSmartphonesCellphonesbeats25EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink I really like this rumor: apparently the HTC Vigor will be the first handset HTC's new acquisition, Beats by Dre, will show up on, but apart from that it's tipped to have a 4.3-inch screen with 1280 x 720 resolution. According to the rumormill, it will resemble the HTC Thunderbolt (pictured), but will lack the kickstand. Coupled with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, plus 1GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, an 8MP camera on the back and 2MP forward-facing camera, it sounds like it'll be HTC's next must-have device. It will supposedly be running the Gingerbread version of Android 2.3.4 which has shown up on a few handsets now, plus the latest Sense version, 3.5. Obviously take these purported specs with a pinch of salt, but if what Droid-Life's sources are claiming is true, the next couple months will be an interesting ride for HTC.

Two Wellsboro residents arrived home Wednesday to find someone else apparently moving into their residence.
Mansfield-based Pennsylvania State Police say Gary E. Husted, 68, of Tioga, entered the residence at 690 Munson Road using a key he had access to because of a connection with the residents.
After entering, he allegedly began moving the residents' property out and his own belongings inside.
Troopers said Timothy VanGorden, 28, and Harley Brown, 18, arrived home to find their belongings under a tarp outside the residence, as well as a car parked outside.
Hearing noise inside the residence, they entered to find Husted inside, police said, and refusing to leave.
Police said at one point he told the residents, "It's time for you to leave."
They then called Pennsylvania state police.
When they arrived, Husted was taken into custody.
He's charged with burglary, criminal trespass, criminal mischief and theft.
