Fishing is a favorite pastime of Florida's residents and visitors. Fishing efforts in Florida have increased dramatically over the past decade, and are continuing to increase. In 2011, Florida's recreational anglers caught roughly 121 million marine fish, 74 million of which were released. Fish are released for a variety of reasons, but increasing a fish's chances of survival after it is released will help ensure fish populations remain sustainable for future generations. Anglers can use various fish handling methods and gear to increase the survival of released fish. Get involved by reading more about how to increase post-release fish survival.

What Causes Angling Mortality in Fish, Know Before You Go, Handling Fish, Circle Hooks, Dehooking Devices, Reviving Fish, Barotrauma - Releasing Fish Caught in Deep Water, Venting Tools & Descending Devices, Other Ways to Conserve Fishery Resources, Catch and Release Brochure
Fish may die after release for a variety of reasons. The most common causes of post-release mortality are physiological stress on the fish resulting from struggle during capture, injuries caused by the hook, and mishandling of the fish by the angler.
Unfortunately, some fish may die after release even though they appear unharmed and despite efforts by the angler to revive the fish.
Fish that struggle intensely during capture are usually exhausted and stressed from the accumulation of excessive amounts of lactic acid in their muscles and blood. The stress of capture may be more severe for larger fish such as tarpon, therefore, using the proper weight-class tackle, landing your catch quickly, and releasing the fish as quickly as possible increases the fish's chance of survival. Bringing an exhausted fish out of the water is like asking a triathlon winner to jump back in the water and hold their breath---they both need oxygen to recover!
Fish that are reeled to the surface from deep water may face additional challenges that could decrease their chance of survival.
If you have caught a fish that you do not intend to keep or that cannot be harvested, follow the steps below to increase the chances the fish you release will survive.
Knowing before you go is an important step in increasing the survivability of fish you release.
Check out the Saltwater Fishing Checklist for items you can use for a successful day on the water!
You can increase the survival rate of fish you release by using proper handling techniques.
Handle fish as little as possible and only with wet hands.
Photographs and Video
Capturing a catch on camera is a great way to share your experience with others and to create lasting memorabilia.
It is okay to take a picture of a fish that is not allowed to be harvested while it's in the process of being released, but it still must be let go immediately after. A fish should not be held out of the water for long periods of time just for the purpose of taking a picture.
Remember, when taking a picture of your catch, hold the fish horizontally and support its weight with both hands. This decreases the possibility of damaging the fish internally.
It is best to designate someone on the boat as the photographer, that way when an angler hooks up with a fish, the photographer is ready to go.
Whenever possible, take pictures of the fish while in the water. Tarpon should always be left in the water if they are more than 40 inches long.
And remember, if you are releasing your catch… Practice CPR-Catch, Photo, Release!
Circle hooks are designed so the point is turned perpendicular to the shank to form acircular or oval shape. Circle hooks are best used with natural bait (live or dead). Circle hooks are 90% more likely to hook fish in the mouth instead of in the esophagus or stomach. Hooking a fish in the mouth reduces internal harm, decreases dehooking time, and lessens the chances of the angler needing to leave the hook in the fish. Fish hooked in the corner of the mouth also tend to fight less than fish that are hooked in the gut.
Pictured is an example of a J Hook (left) and a circle hook (right).
Non-Stainless Steel Hooks
Non-stainless steel hooks (steel and bronze) increase survival rates of fish. If these hooks cannot be removed from the fish, they will rust and deteriorate sooner than stainless steel and cadmium or nickel-plated hooks. They are also less toxic.
When a fish is hooked in the gut or throat:
If a fish is hooked deep in the throat or gut, research has shown that it is best to cut the leader as close to the hook as possible and leave the hook in the fish. Prolonged attempts to remove the hook often do more harm than good.
Circle Hook Tips! Try fishing with barbless hooks or crimp the barb down. Catch rates using barbed versus barbless hooks are not significantly different, but the advantage of using barbless hooks is that they are easier to remove from a fish or yourself!
Also remember to not "set" the circle hook. After the fish takes the bait, allow the fish to run and then proceed to reel it in.
De-hooking tools are designed to remove a hook from a fish without the hook being re-engaged. De-hooking tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit the need of the angler. Remember, even a pair of needle nose pliers is considered a de-hooking tool.
De-hooking tools should match to the angler, the fish being targeted, and the vessel. If an angler is fishing from a boat with a high gunwale, the de-hooking tool may need to have a longer "shaft". If being used on a kayak, a shorter de-hooking tool should be used.
If targeting fish with large teeth, spines or sharp barbs, use a long de-hooking tool to keep hands and fingers out of harm's way.
If a fish is gut hooked, cut the line as close to the hook as possible to avoid further damage to internal organs.
If the fish doesn't immediately swim away or it is lethargic or erratic, some "resuscitation" may be needed.
Revive exhausted but otherwise healthy fish by first placing the fish in the water, one hand under the belly, and the other hand holding the bottom lip or tail. If the vessel is anchored, point the fish head-first into the current to gently force water through the mouth and over the gills. If the vessel is not anchored or there isn't a current, hold the fish in the water alongside the boat and gently nudge the boat into gear, forcing water through the gills of the fish. If an angler is fishing from a non-motorized vessel, such as a kayak, place the fish in the water, hold its front lip, (you can use a gripping tool if the fish has teeth), and move the fish in a figure "8" motion.
Never move the fish back and forth in the water. This will not allow water to flow properly through the gills of the fish!
How to Treat Barotrauma video
Fish that are caught in deep water and released may face additional challenges to survival. Some marine fish, such as snappers and groupers, have a gas-filled organ called a swim bladder that controls buoyancy and allows the fish to maintain a certain depth. When fish are pulled up from deep water (typically depths greater than 50 feet), the change in pressure can cause the gas in the swim bladder to expand and in some cases burst. Damage to the swim bladder or other internal organs that is caused by such change in pressure is called barotrauma.
Signs of Barotrauma include (photos courtesy of SeaGrant):
The stomach coming out of the mouth
Bulging Eyes
Bloated Belly
Distended Intestines
When a fish suffering from barotrauma is released, it is unable to swim back down to capture depth making it difficult to survive the elements and avoid predators. If a fish needs to be released and shows any or all of these signs of barotrauma, venting tools and descending devices may increase the fish's chance of survival after release.
Remember to only use a venting tool or descending device when one or all of the above signs of trauma are noticed.
Sometimes symptoms of barotrauma are not readily apparent. If you release the fish and it floats at the surface, struggling to swim down on its own, that is a good indication the fish may need to be vented or descended.
If the stomach is protruding from the mouth of the fish, do not puncture or push the stomach back in. When the fish swims back down to depth it will re-ingest its stomach. Return the fish to the water as soon as possible and, if necessary, revive the fish by moving the fish forward in the water allowing water to pass over the gills.
Venting Tools
Venting tools are sharpened, hollow instruments such as a hypodermic syringe with the plunger removed or a 16-gauge needle fixed to a hollow wooden dowel. These devices are used to treat barotrauma by releasing expanded gas from the fish body cavity—enabling fish to swim back to capture depth after release. A variety of venting tools are available in bait and tackle stores.
Knives or an ice-pick are not venting tools because they do not allow the expanded gases to escape from inside the body.
How to Vent
Vent the fish as quickly as you can. Gently hold the fish on its side and insert the needle into the body cavity at a 45-degree angle under a scale. The area to insert the venting tool is approximately 1 to 2 inches behind the base of the pectoral fin. Insert the venting tool just deep enough to release the expanded gases. You may hear an audible release of this gas.
Descending Devices
A descending device (recompression device) is a tool that is used to reverse the effects of barotrauma. The device descends fish back down to a depth where the increased pressure from the water will recompress the swim bladder gases and allow the fish to swim away.
In recent years, a number of descending devices have been developed. The type of descending device to use is often based on individual angler preference.
Photo courtesy of SeaGrant
Most devices are weighted and attached to fishing line (or rope) and clamp or hook on to the mouth of the fish.
Another option is an inverted milk crate with a rope attached to the top and weights at each corner. This creates a bottomless cage which allows the gases to recompress while the fish is brought down to capture depth. Once the crate is pulled up the fish is able to swim away.
Although more research is needed, there are indications that use of descending devices can increase survival of released fish. If you choose to use a descending device, follow the instructions on the package carefully to ensure the device is used properly. Photo courtesy of SeaGrant
2017 FWC Citizen Science Descending Device Study Final Report - An Evaluation of Anglers' Barriers to Using Descending Devices
Descending Device Examples
Many of our most popular recreationally targeted species are regulated and sometimes must be returned to the water. Most anglers would agree that anything we can do to minimize harm to fish being released will benefit the resource in the long term.
However, we don't want to discourage the fun and excitement of catching fish and documenting the experience, whether for records or the personal satisfaction that comes from sharing the experience with friends and family. That's why we want to inform the public about safe fish handling practices and the harm that can be caused to fish that are handled roughly or held out of the water too long.
Without ethical anglers following fisheries regulations, there would soon be little of value left to catch. Florida's anglers should be proud of their conservation efforts. They have helped to restore or sustain several valuable fisheries, including snook, red drum and spotted seatrout. As the number of anglers continues to grow, it becomes more important than ever to release those fish that cannot be harvested in as good a condition as possible. The next angler will thank you for it.
The Ethical Angler:
Practice and share these techniques! Teach your children and inexperienced anglers these few simple procedures to help ensure abundant fish populations for the future. View our brochure on Catch and Release!

I received these quickly and on time. They are a good value for custom fitting in your own vehicle (I got all 4 for 50 bucks with a discount code). They cut them a bit jagged in some spots, and the color has a purple tint, rather than totally clear. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!

Douglas Wayne McCauley picked on Fry's Electronics once too often.
After being convicted by a jury for stealing electronics equipment from the Fry's store in Roseville and after admitting on the court record to four prior theft convictions, including two at Fry's in Sacramento, the 45-year-old Lincoln resident was banned Tuesday by a judge from setting foot in Fry's stores.
"He is not to go to any Fry's – worldwide," said Placer County Superior Court Judge James D. Garbolino, who placed the defendant on five years felony probation, ordered him to serve 60 days in jail and suspended another 120 days of incarceration.
McCauley can apply for alternative sentencing on his 60-day jail term and he must pay $1,905 in fines and restitution, the judge ordered.
Garbolino called McCauley's shoplifting crimes a "psychological problem" that he felt could be helped through counseling.
"The conduct in this case is pretty much inexplicable," the judge said while noting that everything else in the defendant's life seemed "mainstream or above."
He warned McCauley that if he slipped up again while on probation, "it's probably not going to be taken well."
The latest theft, which involved the taking of keyboard components, occurred on July 7, 2008, from the Fry's store in Roseville.
A Placer County jury convicted McCauley on felony charges of commercial burglary and petty theft with a prior.
Prosecutor Carl Mayhew of the Placer County District Attorney's Office said a lifetime ban from an entire chain of stores is "very unusual."
"But this case certainly cried out for it," he said.

LONDON (AP) — Peaches Geldof, the wild-child daughter of concert organizer Bob Geldof who worked as a model, a television presenter and a fashion writer and who filled the pages of British tabloids with her late-night antics, has died at age 25.
Her father said in a statement Monday: "Peaches has died. We are beyond pain."
"She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us," he said. "Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"
There was no immediate word on the cause of her death at her home in Wrotham, Kent, southeast England. Kent police said at this stage "the death is being treated as an unexplained sudden death."
Peaches was active in the fashion world, a frequent attendee at shows who was photographed just last week at a show in London.
She was twice married and leaves behind two sons and her second husband, musician Tom Cohen.
"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra, and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day. We shall love her forever," Cohen said in a statement.
The last tweet Peaches sent on Twitter was on Sunday, when she posted a photograph of herself as a child and her mother with the caption: "Me and my mum."
Peaches was a young girl when her mother Paula Yates died of a drug overdose in 2000.

FAR NORTHERN TROPICAL LOWLANDS(Venezuela, Colombia, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, Caracas, Paramaribo, Cayenne, Georgetown, Cartagena)
The tropical lowlands of northern South America enjoy warm temperatures year round with seasons marked by frequent rainfall. The rainy season over these regions coincides with summer over the Northern Hemisphere. Rainfall begins to increase in May and peaks in most areas during July or August. Rain typically comes in the form of heavy showers and thunderstorms that form during the afternoon hours. Thunderstorm activity normally diminishes after sunset. Often times, light rain or drizzle can linger through the summer night. By September, rainfall decreases rapidly, leading to a stretch of drier sunnier weather from October through March. Although temperature differences through the year are quite small compared to mid-latitudes there are some noticeable changes. The warmest time of the year comes just before the rainy season in March or April, when daytime high temps frequently exceed 32°C (90°F) with high humidity. A second peak in temperature may occur directly after the rainy season in October. Normally temperatures will be between 28-31°C (82-88°F) during the heart of the rainy season. Overnight low temperatures are generally around 24°C (75°F) but may dip into the upper teens-lower 20s °C (65-70°F) during the dry season.Bogota, Columbia
The Amazon region is similar to the northern tropical lowlands except the rainy season coincides with the Southern Hemisphere summer. The Amazon region lights up with tremendous thunderstorms during the afternoon hours from November through April. The dry season is by no means void of rainfall, but shower activity is much less in comparison to the summer rainy season. There is little temperature change year round in comparison to mid-latitude locations. The hottest days with temperatures exceeding 34°C (93°F) occur just prior to and after the rainy season. Eastern portions of the Brazilian tropics can experience the most oppressive heat. Teresina, often experiences a period of extreme heat with readings between 36-41°C (97-106°F), most common from October into early December. Winter months (mid-dry season) are typically warm across the entire region with high temperature readings ranging from 29-33°C (84-91°F).
On occasion, cold air from the southern mid-latitudes can infiltrate the central and western portions of the region. The cool southerly winds (cold air arrives on southerly winds in the Southern Hemisphere) bring extensive low cloudiness, light rain, and drizzle to portions of the region for one to three days. High temperatures during these cool waves may remain in the low-mid 20s °C (70s °F). These events are fairly rare but happen more frequently than in similar latitudes over North America. Powerful cold waves moving south into the USA are dissipated as they move into the tropics by the warm Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean waters. Cold air in South America is not nearly as extreme as North America but is not dissipated as quickly due to the large extent of land over the tropics.
NORTHEAST COASTAL BRAZIL(Recife, Maceio, Natal, Fortaleza)
The northeast coast of Brazil is known for its wonderful climate and spectacular beaches. This region is warm and humid year round with no drastic temperature changes. Seasons are separated by dry and rainy periods much like the remainder of the tropical north. The rainy season generally runs from March through August. Rain typically falls at night in the form of light to moderate showers. Thunderstorms are quite rare on the northeast coast. Temperatures are typically between 28-31°C (82-88°F) year round. Occasionally temperatures will reach 32-34°C (90-93°F), especially toward Fortaleza.
BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS(Brasilia, Goiania, Belo Horizonte, Uberaba)
Brazil's capital, Brasilia, lies within the hills and mountains of the eastern interior highlands. This region is clearly marked by wet and dry periods. The dry winter season, which runs from May to September, is typically pleasant with warm sunny days and cool clear nights. Occasionally, cold fronts from the south bring brief cooler periods and a few showers during the winter months, otherwise little or no rain falls during this period. Even during cool spells, high temps are rarely below 21°C (70°F) but nights can be surprisingly cold. On rare occasions, frost and freezing conditions occur. The summer wet season (October-April) is marked by high humidity and frequent rainfall. Heavy showers and thunderstorms form during the afternoon and usually dissipate during the late evening hours. Light rain showers or drizzle can last into the night on some days. Dry spells in the midst of the rainy season do occur but often bring high heat; temperatures can approach or exceed 38°C (100°F).
SOUTHEAST BRAZIL (Sao Paulo, Rio De Janeiro, Curitiba)
Southeast Brazil has a wide variety of climate systems due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its terrain. This region is rather unique but has some similarities to Florida, USA. Rainfall is quite evenly distributed throughout the year. The fall and winter seasons bring occasional frontal passages with rather sharp temperature contrasts. Often times, frontal systems stall over this area during the winter months producing an extended period of cloudy, wet weather. Coastal areas do not experience any extreme cold but a few rainy cool periods with high temps of 14-18°C (56-64°F) do occur. The interior (around Curitiba) experiences the coolest winter weather and on rare occasions high temps may barely reach 10°C (50°F). On the other hand, very warm sunny periods occur prior to frontal passages during the fall and winter months. Temperatures can soar above 32°C (90°F) even during the winter months. Anyone planning an extended stay to this region of Brazil during the winter should prepare for these possible extremes.
The spring and summer months are very similar to the Gulf Coast states of the United States. Days are very warm to hot and humid with hazy sunshine. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms are common. Cold fronts tend to remain south of the region through the summer season and may arrive in a weakened form. Although thunderstorms are usually not severe in nature they can produce prolific rainfall in a short time. The major cities are infamous for traffic problems due to street flooding from heavier afternoon thunderstorm events.
FAR SOUTHERN BRAZIL (Florianopoli, Porto Allegre, Santa Maria)
The far southern portion of Brazil is similar in many ways to southeast Brazil except it has more extreme weather. Southern Brazil is effected more by mid-latitude storm systems than any other portion of the country. Thus, the weather tends to be more changeable from season to season. Frontal systems and areas of low pressure can effect the region at any time of the year. However, cold fronts that approach during the summer months tend to stall or dissipate over the area. Winter days average mild with many sunny periods. Wet weather during the winter normally arrives with cold air. Snow is quite rare but can occur during extreme events over the higher elevations of the interior. During the spring, warmer and more humid weather arrives but can be offset by occasional strong cold fronts from the south. Fronts during the spring may be proceeded by thunderstorms that can be quite strong. By summer the weather is very warm and humid. Even coastal areas experience spells of extreme heat with high temperatures above 35°C (95°F). Scattered showers and thunderstorms erupt from the afternoon heat and humidity and are common from late spring through the summer.
FARAGUAY(Asuncion, Concepcion, Mariscal Estigariba)
Overall, Paraguay is a fairly tropical nation. The spring and summer seasons are hot and humid. Most days are sunny but frequently end with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms can be quite intense during the spring and often form at night. Fall and especially winter are rather changeable. Cold fronts do penetrate into Paraguay during the cooler months every few weeks, bringing rain and sometimes windy conditions. In between frontal passages, fall and winter days are warm and sunny.
NORTHERN ARGENTINA LOWLANDS(Tucuman, Santiago Del Estero, Iguazu, Posadas, Resistencia, Corrientes)
The climate of northern Argentina is highly variable due to the wide range of elevation. In this section the focus is on the lowland areas of northern Argentina. Please read the section on western Argentina to learn about the mountainous regions of northern Argentina. The lowland areas experience very hot, humid summers and generally mild, dry winters. Rainfall is heaviest during the summer months and comes in the form of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. The unrelenting summer sunshine can send temps above 40°C (104°F). Winters are changeable as cold fronts from the south pass across the area. Days preceding a cold front passage can be summer-like. Cold spells are usually brief and normally last three to four days at a time. The worst weather usually occurs for the first day or two after the front passes when strong, cold southerly winds invade the region along with showers or drizzle. High temps during the strongest cold spells can struggle to reach 5-10°C (40-50°F). Snow is very rare over the lowlands and is normally limited to the increasingly higher elevations as one approaches the Andes.
CENTRAL ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY (Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Rosario, Santa Fe, Mar Del Plata, Montevideo, Punta del Este, Colonia Sacremento)
Central Argentina is home to the capital Buenos Aires and many other large and industrialized cities. The region also boasts a sucessful agricultural business with crops grown on the Pampas south and west of the capital. Located in the mid-latitudes, the weather is naturally changeable in this region. However, the overall climate is very suitable for farming with ample sunshine and sufficient rainfall. Winters are cool to mild and summers are very warm and humid. As can be expected, fall and spring can swing back and forth between warm and cool spells. Rainfall is fairly uniform throughout the year but is a little heavier during the summer. Annual rainfall is heaviest near the coast and decreases gradually further inland. Rain during the late spring and summer usually arrives in the form of brief heavy showers and thunderstorms. More general rainfall occurs the remainder of the year as cold fronts and storm systems move through. Although cold spells during the winter often send nighttime temperatures below freezing, snow is quite rare. In most winters, a few light snowfalls occur over inland areas. Snow is extremely rare near the coast.
PATAGONIA - SOUTHERN ARGENTINA(Bahia Blanca, Trelew, Comodoro Rivadavia, Rio Negro, Nequen, Rio Gallegos, Ushuaia)
Much of Patagonia has a very dry climate considering its latitude. The great Andes mountains to the west limit the moisture flow into the region. Powerful storm systems that move into the westward facing mountains on the Chilean side bring tremendous rainfall to that region; then become moisture-starved as they cross the mountains into Argentina. However, extensive cloud cover remains from these storm systems and areas south of Comodoro Rivadavia to Rio Gallegos experience many cloudy days. The parched, windy landscape that dominates much of Patagonia quickly turns into the infamously stormy region know to early explorers as Cape Horn. Tierra del Fuego is the far southern extent of Patagonia that runs from the Straight of Magellan to Cape Horn. Tierra del Fuego experiences cool windy summers and stormy cold winters. Snow is very common during the winter over southern Patagonia (especially Tierra del Fuego) but occurs only on occasion over the drier north. Patagonia is generally considered a cool region but can be surprisingly hot at times. During the summer, winds sinking down the slopes of the Andes heat the air rapidly. It is not uncommon to have days with temperatures exceeding 38°C (100°F) over northern portions of Patagonia near Bahia Blanca during theses downslope wind events. Downslope winds occur over southern Patagonia, but the strong winds they bring put an edge on the mild temperatures. Strong winds are common over southern Patagonia but can be especially strong during the spring. Rio Gallegos, near the southern coast, experiences many days with winds exceeding 50 mph.
WESTERN ARGENTINA(Salta, Jujuy, Mendoza, San Juan, Barioloche)
Western Argentina spans a great distance north-south but is in a category of its own due to the great Andes mountains that line the border with Chile. This region boasts everything from green tropical slopes in the north near Salta to ski slopes in Barioloche. Overall, the climate of western Argentina is dry with many sunny days. Winter storms bring more rain and snow to the southern mountains near Bariloche, while the north has more rainfall during the summer months. The weather is more consistent in the south and changes are more on a seasonal basis. On the other hand, the north can experience very sharp changes in weather in a matter of hours, mainly during the winter months. In the midst of winter, Salta in the north may have a spell of temperatures over 30°C (86°F) then struggle to reach 5°C (40°F) a day latter. These sharp temperature falls in the north are usually accompanied by rain or snow but are fairly short lived. The winter cold of the south is quite unrelenting but not as harsh as similar latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Snowfall is frequent enough to support a healthy ski industry in the southern mountains. The spring and summer seasons bring mild but occasionally windy weather to the southern mountains. Summers in the north can be very hot up to 6,000 ft. It is quite common for temperatures to exceed 38°C (100°F) during the spring and summer months. Thunderstorms often develop over the central and northern mountains during spring and summer afternoons. Hikers or any visitors to the mountains should watch the skies closely so they will not be caught in the middle of an afternoon storm.
Much of coastal Peru and northern Chile are considered desert. Rain may not fall for years from the southern Peruvian coast southward into the Atacama desert of northern Chile. This region is located in the tropics but the South Pacific water temperatures are cool in this area. The cool marine air stabilizes the environment preventing the development of afternoon showers and thunderstorms that are common at similar latitudes. However, large areas of low clouds and fog develop offshore and blanket the coastal areas. Although, virtually rain-free the climate is very cloudy and quite cool considering the latitude. The plus side is that fish thrive in the nutrient-rich cool water that supports a booming fishing industry. Fall and winter are cloudy and occasionally some light drizzle occurs during the morning hours. Temperatures during the fall and winter are normally between 17-21°C ( 64-70°F) along the coast. Spring and summer offer more sunshine but completely clear skies are rare. Summer temperatures range between 23-27°C (73-81°F). During the summer, tremendous thunderstorms develop over the Andes mountains and Amazon jungle to the east. On rare occasion, a few showers will make it to the coast if the mountain storms are particularly intense. The far northern coast of Peru, along the border with Ecuador, has a slightly warmer and wetter climate than the remainder of the region. Showers and thunderstorms will clip the northern coast during the summer and daytime temperatures can be more uncomfortable as heat combines with high sun angles and humidity. Every three to six years the waters off the coast of Peru warm. This warming known as El Nino has a massive impact on the local climate. The warmer waters dissipate the low clouds and fog leading to more sunshine and warmer air temperatures. The warmer air temperatures, in turn, create instability leading to shower and thunderstorm development. The now desert coast of Peru turns very wet. The greatest impact in terms of rainfall is felt north of Lima (the capital of Peru) but all areas are much warmer. Flooding and devastation to the fishing industry make El Nino an unwelcome event to the area.
The coast of Colombia and Ecuador resemble their deep tropical latitudes unlike the cooler coastal areas to the south in Peru. Basically two seasons exist in this region...a rainy season and a dry season. The separation between the dry and rainy seasons becomes less distinct over the central coast of Colombia towards the border with Panama. The rainy season in Ecuador coincides closely with the Southern Hemisphere summer, while the rainy season over Caribbean coast of Colombia occurs during the Northern Hemisphere summer.

MALDEF's 40th Anniversary
To view this video, you will need to install the Flash Player and turn Javascript on.
MALDEF was founded in 1968 during one of America's darkest hours with the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, two of our nation's greatest civil rights advocates. A ray of hope for the community, MALDEF sought to fulfill the critical needs for the nation's growing Latino community through litigation, advocacy and leadership development on issues that affected children and newcomers. MALDEF's victory in the historic voting rights case White v. Regester, significantly raised the value of the Latino vote by safe-guarding communities from at-large redistricting systems. In another landmark case, MALDEF attorneys successfully secured free public education for all school children, regardless of their parent's immigration status.
Earlier this year, MALDEF hosted a special conference in commemoration of its 40th anniversary at the organization's birthplace, San Antonio, Texas. The day-long conference featured MALDEF attorneys and Board members from past and present to focus on the organization's historic legal contributions and current and future agenda in voting rights, immigration, education and employment. Past MALDEF presidents and general counsels gave welcoming remarks, followed by panel discussions, and a video presentation highlighting MALDEF's remarkable history.

Sara Gilbert has officially come out as a lesbian after years of speculation.
The 35-year-old former "Roseanne" star confirmed the news Wednesday at a press conference for the Television Critics Association in Los Angeles.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gilbert said that she has been hesitant about sharing details about her personal life. But, for her latest venture as producer and co-host of CBS's new daytime show "The Talk," she's decided to be more open.
"I've been acting my whole life, and I've never really discussed my personal life." Gilbert told EW. "This is a talk show ... So obviously I'm going to be discussing my life more."
Gilbert has been linked to TV producer Allison Adler since 2002, and the pair have two children together. Adler gave birth to the couple's son, Levi, 5, and Gilbert is the birth mother of their daughter Sawyer, 2.
Last week, CBS issued a press release about Gilbert's upcoming daytime show "The Talk," featuring six celebrity moms. While the network referred to husbands of the rest of the show's hosts, it only mentioned Gilbert's children.
Gilbert said that the decision to keep Adler's name off the list "came from me."
"CBS would write whatever I wanted," she said.
When asked if she would be comfortable discussing her personal life as a lesbian on the show, Gilbert told EW, "this is a whole new world for me."
"I'm just sort of living my life," she added.
"The talk" is due to premiere in the fall and is aiming to draw in an audience similar to that of ABC's "The View."
Along with Gilbert, the show will also be hosted by Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini of "The King of Queens," "21 Jump Street's" Holly Robinson, Marissa Jaret Winokur, the star of "Hairspray," and Julie Chen, host of "Big Brother" and "The Early Show."

Brewing up quality quiet time in an awesome atmosphere
NAPPANEE — Main Street Roasters in Nappanee is more than a coffee house with a warm and welcome ambiance where friends and family can meet. It's also not only a place where individuals can get comfortable to get their Internet fix and some quality quiet time. Marcus and Debra Miller work to make sure their business is one that will keep customers coming back for more. The Millers have four children so know how to make their coffee house a place that features an inviting, homey atmosphere. They started the business venture in 2003 opening the doors Dec. 18.
"We saw that other towns had shops — a place where people could hang out and enjoy coffee with friends or find some calm privacy," said Debra Miller. "Marcus wanted to give people somewhere to sit back, be comfortable and have some peace."
And the Millers' initiative took off from there. In 2005 they remodeled and expanded the Nappanee location from what was formerly the B and B Restaurant to include the building next door in September of 2006 — the extra space providing room for a larger baking facility, more tables, additional seating and the addition of their next venture, a in-house roasting facility (Main Street Roasters).
"Marcus wanted to have better quality control, and to offer the customers a better product," Miller said of her husband's full-time commitment. "We have a broker in South Bend that gets the beans for us from all over the world. We get them green — raw — and he roasts and then grinds a day after they're roasted and it's used or shipped within the week."
That quality freshness is what customers crave and allows the Millers to offer competitive pricing to not only their local patrons but for large-quantity orders, corporate accounts, gifts, and wholesale accounts.
Blends like Espresso, Decaf Expresso, French Roast, and the signatures L.L. Beanz and Main Street Blend, as well as more creative options like Butter Pecan Crunch, Turtle Sundae, Creme Brulee, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Buttered Toffee and Coconut Dream are popular favorites.
Main Street Roasters also offers holiday-inspired flavors like Mistletoe Kiss, Gingerbread Spice, It's a Wonderful Spice, Drummer Boy Joe, Nutcracker Sweet, and Frosty's Favorite and added some new tastes to its plethora of brewed blessings: Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, Fireside Marshmallow, Pumpkin Spice, and Apple Cinnamon Strudel as well as offers about 25 types of teas.
If those tapping at their keyboards or talking with friends, family or co-workers find they're hungrier for more than a scone or muffin Main Street Roasters offers breakfast items like croissants, bagels, paninis, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, fruit and yogurt cups for breakfast as well as an assortment of soups (like the most-popular white chicken chili), salads, sandwiches and wraps.
Unlike the typical coffee shop selections, customers can choose daily from an assortment of freshly baked goods like cookies, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls and assorted bars (like chocolate cake and peanut butter).
And while Main Street Roasters Coffee Shop offers musicians a place to hang out and perform (normally on the weekends), the coffee house is one that can be used (at $5 an hour) as a place for employees, clubs, Bible studies, or other groups to hold conference. Both the small (seats eight to 10) and large (seats 12-15) rooms offer a DVD monitor for use at no extra charge — the larger also featuring a marker board and easel. But reserving a spot is the only way to assure one of the popular facility rooms will be available.
The Millers' venture has been so successful that they opened another location in South Bend (102 S. Main St.) in 2009.
From lattes to lemonade, mocha to muffins, and coffees to quesadillas, Main Street Roasters Coffee House offers customers of all ages friendly, dependable service and a place to relax alone or gather with friends — somewhere that they can feel "at home."
Main Street Roasters, 105 N. Main St., Nappanee, is open Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. To learn more visit http://www.mainstreetroasters.com online; follow the Twitter feed at #MainStrCoffee; visit the Facebook page Main Street Roasters; email email@example.com; or call 574-773-5333.

You may have remembered to spring forward this past weekend, but your body clock is likely telling you that you�re at work this morning at 7 instead of 8. It also may be saying you�re eating lunch at 11 a.m. instead of noon and dinner at 5 p.m. rather than 6.
You may have remembered to spring forward this past weekend, but your body clock is likely telling you that you�re at work this morning at 7 instead of 8. It also may be saying you�re eating lunch at 11 a.m. instead of noon and dinner at 5 p.m. rather than 6.
Perhaps, too, you are still missing that hour of sleep you lost.
We�ve found studies that suggest daylight saving time can be hazardous to your health. Research by the University of Michigan in 2009 correlated the time change to an increase in injuries in the workplace. It maintained that the average person was sleeping about 40 minutes less per night.
Tim Roenneberg, a chronobiologist at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, said his studies show that our circadian body clocks � set by light and darkness � never adjust to gaining an �extra� hour of sunlight at the end of the day during daylight saving time.
�The consequence of that is that the majority of the population has drastically decreased productivity, decreased quality of life, increasing susceptibility to illness and is just plain tired,� Roenneberg said.
Conversely, other studies show that daylight saving time enhances health because it provides impetus for people to spend more time outdoors and encourages exercise.
Most people do relish the fact we have longer hours for sunshine but look forward to the fall when some people believe we actually gain an extra hour of sleep. That�s somewhat of an illusion because there are still 24 hours in a day.
It does seem people are less moody when the sun is out longer.
Daylight saving time has a long history and was originally implemented for the benefit of the railroads or farmers depending on the source used. As time has passed, the railroads have ceased to be the main mode of passenger travel across the country and our farmers have become fewer in number.
Many still don�t buy the claim that daylight saving time saves energy and resources. It�s all a bit complicated and changing time has always been somewhat of a contentious issue.
Not all states observe daylight saving time. Before 2005, Indiana never changed its time.
So, we�re wondering why we need to fall back. If there is no illusionary lost hour of sleep as a point of reference, we would never miss it again. And our body clocks could remain in sync.
We believe the time has come to set our clocks to our current time for the last time.
Will it ever be a burning issue in the Legislature? Only time will tell.
Like it or not, it�s here until fall comes again.

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Cranberry Caramel Sauce
1 loaf pumpkin cranberry bread
For ginger custard:
1/3 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 large whole eggs
3 large egg yolks
Accompaniment: cranberry caramel sauce
Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan. Line cake pan
with a round of wax paper and butter wax paper.
Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from loaf to line side of cake pan, trimming
slices so that tops are flush with rim of pan. Gently press slices against side
of cake pan to make them adhere.
Cut enough of remaining loaf, including scraps, into 1/2-inch pieces to
measure 5 cups and put in bottom of cake pan.
Make custard:
In a heavy saucepan bring ginger, sugar, and water to a boil, stirring until
sugar is dissolved, and simmer 5 minutes. Add milk and cream and bring just to a
simmer. Remove pan from heat.
In a heatproof bowl whisk together whole eggs and yolks and add hot milk mixture
in a stream, whisking. Pour custard through a fine sieve onto bread pieces in
bottom of cake pan, pressing hard on ginger, and coat pieces well (bread pieces
will float to surface of custard).
Put cake pan in a larger pan and add enough water to larger pan to reach
half-way up side of cake pan. Bake pudding in middle of oven 45 to 50 minutes,
or until custard is set and a skewer inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove cake pan from larger pan and cool pudding on a rack. Chill pudding,
covered, until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
To unmold pudding, run a thin knife around edge of cake pan and dip pan into a
bowl of hot water 15 seconds. Invert a large plate over cake pan and invert
pudding onto plate. Peel off wax paper and invert pudding right side up onto
another large plate. Bring pudding to room temperature and cut into wedges. (If
serving pudding warm, transfer wedges to a baking sheet and reheat in a 325° F.
Serve pudding at room temperature or warm with caramel sauce.
Serves 6 generously.

With fall's arrival that means lots of pumpkin recipes. These Pumpkin Muffins are one of my favorites. These can be made into a loaf simply by adjusting the baking time, and the pan of course.
Cooking spray
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/4 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds

Washington, DC -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today issued a statement in favor of the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), which is expected to be voted on in the House of Representatives this evening.
The measure would outlaw any abortion performed because of the gender of a baby.
"This is one of those measures that drives home the point that abortions in America can be performed for any reason whatsoever. People often react in horrified unbelief that there even is such a thing as sex-selection abortion. But the existence of legislation to stop it can awaken the consciences of many. Let's pass this law, and let's use the vote of our Representatives on this bill as an election issue," Fr. Pavone said.
It is estimated that 163 million women are "missing" because of sex-selective abortion around the globe.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Write some Software
Budget $30-250 USD
Here is a brief description about the project to simplify the idea
The goal of the project is to enable the cloud user to search his encrypted data that is outsourced to cloud in privacy preserving manner (protect the outsourced data from malicious cloud)
It allows the user to encrypt the data on his side using searchable encryption before sending the data to cloud

(Reuters) – Big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic boosted his hopes of qualifying for the end-of-season ATP World Tour finals in London by downing Czech Tomas Berdych 7-6(4) 6-3 to win the Thailand Open yesterday.
The tall 22-year-old gave a lesson in serving as he delivered 18 aces on the indoor hard court in Bangkok to win the $567,530 title, his second of the year after he retained his San Jose crown in February. Raonic began the week 11th in the race to London with only the top eight guaranteed a spot but his fifth career victory should move him up the congested leaderboard when the list is updated today ahead of the November event.
A tight first set between the powerful duo inevitably went to a tiebreak after Raonic was able to save the only break point.
The Montenegro-born third seed prevailed 7-4 before grabbing an early break in the second with his only opportunity of the match.
Raonic then comfortably served out the set with the top seed Berdych unable to put any pressure on his opponent's serve.
The loss leaves Berdych, fifth in the race to London, as the only player in the top 10 not to have won a title this season.

For Mitch Fadden, September will be the month that decides where he spends the next year. As the Lethbridge training camp begins, Tampa's 2007 4th round pick is still without a pro contract from the Lightning. After attending the Bolt's Prospect Camp in Victoria, BC last month, the Lightning still want to see more of Fadden before making a decision on where he spends the 2008-09 season.
In talking with the Lethbridge Herald, the WHL's sixth leading scorer was upbeat about the start of the Hurricane's camp, "It's business as usual, everyone is excited to get back on the ice and we're ready to start the season.â€

Witkowski To Be A ForceSubmitted by timothy on August 26, 2008 - 21:42
The Fargo Force have announced they have selected Tampa's 2008 6th round pick Luke Witkowski to join the roster of the USHL's newest team for the 2008-09 season. The 6'2", 200 lbs. defenseman has signed a letter of intent with Western Michigan University of the CCHA having deferred enrollment until the 2009-10 season. Witkowski became a free agent in May after the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets of the USHL ceased operations for the 2008-09 season after just two years.
Witkowski, a big blueliner known for his skating agility and speed, will be coached in Fargo by former University of North Dakota head coach Dean Blais who led the Fighting Sioux to two NCAA national championships over the course of a decade at the helm. Blais, known for his up-tempo offensive style, seems to be a good fit for Witkowski's offensive potential. Blais also coached Bolt prospect Matt Smaby and recent Lightning signee Brandon Bochenski during his tenure at UND.

Seasick Steve and the Cube-30X amp
Seasick Steve, purveyor of authentic blues and one the most unlikely headliners at the Albert Hall, uses a Roland Cube amp when he performs.
Here's a quote from the recent interview in Guitarist (Oct 2008):
"When I play live I always use a Roland Cube amp. My kid had one and I checked out the Tweed setting. I thought, Hmmm… okay – plus they're really cheap. I put it on a chair right next to me. No pedals. I just turn the amp up!"

Los Angeles: Singer Ed Sheeran says he couldn't stop staring at singer Christina Aguilera's bosom when he met her for the first time.
The duo first met on the sets of reality show "The Voice", where Sheeran was an advisor for her acts.
"I went in and she was wearing this really, really tight white top without a bra. And I'm a 22-year-old boy and I'm meeting this girl for the first time, trying to be professional as hell.
"So I walk in there and my eyes just keep slowly going down. Then I kind of realise what I'm doing and my eyes go up again. So like yeah, I'm young - what can I say," thesun.co.uk quoted Sheeran as saying.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the acquisition of midfielder Floyd Franks to the club's Major League Soccer roster, pending receipt of his international transfer certificate. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"I'm very pleased to add Floyd to the team," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "He's different than a lot of players that we have. He brings aggressiveness and he can play a number of different positions. He'll add great depth to the squad."
Franks, 27, played the last two seasons under Rennie at North American Soccer League (NASL) club Carolina RailHawks. Last season, the native of Vestavia Hills, Alabama, helped lead the RailHawks to the NASL regular season title after registering four assists in 25 starts for the North Carolina-based outfit. During his first season with Carolina in 2010, Franks scored two goals and added three assists in 33 appearances, as the RailHawks claimed the NASL Conference title in the United States Soccer Federation Division-2 Professional League.
"I'm really excited for this opportunity to join Whitecaps FC," said Franks. "The Whitecaps are a great organization and one of the longest standing clubs in North America, and Martin is a great coach, who I know and respect. I'm looking forward to the challenge."
Prior to his time with Carolina, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound midfielder spent a season-and-a-half with Danish club Blokhus FC from 2008 to 2009. During his time with Blokhus, Franks scored four goals and added 13 assists.
Originally drafted 10th overall in the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft by Chicago Fire, Franks scored his first professional goal in a 3-0 away win over Toronto FC on July 29, 2007. Following two seasons with the Fire, Franks first played for Rennie at Cleveland City Stars in 2008. He scored two goals and added one assist in 17 appearances for the Ohio club, as Cleveland claimed the United Soccer Leagues (USL) Second Division championship title that season.
Born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Franks played NCAA Division I soccer at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 2002 to 2005. He finished his 49ers career with 18 goals and 15 assists in 71 appearances. The midfielder was a two-time All-Conference USA selection and an All-Atlantic 10 Conference selection during his four years at UNC Charlotte.

Weight: 175

For former teen star Leelee Sobieski, creating a nursery that her 8-month-old daughter Louisanna Ray — Lewi for short! — would find engaging was top priority.
After first considering a set of "frilly white bedding," Sobieski, 27, and fiancé Adam Kimmel finally decided on a jungle theme. Why?
"If we were babies in a crib looking up, we'd like to see animals rather than lace!" she laughs.
And that's lucky for Lewi, who owns at least three stuffed giraffes, including a self-standing 9-foot version.
"She touches it and she backs up laughing," says Sobieski, who earned an Emmy nomination in the '90s for the TV miniseries Joan of Arc.
Brian Doben
Unexpectedly, Lewi's room — tucked away at the back of their Tribeca loft — is padded with plush blue carpeting, but not because her parents were expecting a boy.
Sobieski and fashion designer Kimmel simply "both like the color blue" she says. "We both had blue painted walls when we were little."
Brian Doben
In terms of her baby's personality, the actress admits, "When I was pregnant, I kept praying, 'Please give me a lovable and loving, mysterious daughter that I can be fascinated by.'"
So far, her dreams have come true. Whether it's little Lewi's fascination with "loud, booming noises" or her scrutiny of every new face, Sobieski says, "I'm really seeing her curiosity come out now — she just looks so smart. If she laughs, I laugh. If I heard myself talking a year ago, I'd be like, 'So boring!' But that's what happens. My baby is really fascinating to me."

@HonestToddler has taken the Twittersphere by storm. His identity is unknown and he hides behind a deceptively earnest pen name. He speaks for our children and calls all parents out with such precision that we can't help but laugh (and cry a little) wondering if he could possibly be our very own child with a Twitter account. Who is Honest Toddler? Like the famed underground street artist Banksy, HT is prolific, subversive, and everywhere, reminding us just how powerless we parents truly are…and how awesomely fun that actually is. We caught up with him/her over e-mail. Plus: read our round-up of Honest Toddler's funniest tweets.
Sabrina James: Honest Toddler, you are the voice of your generation! How does that make you feel?
Honest Toddler: I'm not sure. It makes me happy that people are listening to toddlers, but sad that I am cooperating.
SJ: How old are you?
HT: This many.
SJ: Are you a boy or girl?
HT: That one.
SJ: What is your name?
HT: "Come here right now."
SJ: What made you decide to start your blog and Twitter account?
HT: An outlet. An outlet that won't make fire if put a plastic fork in it.
SJ: What do you do when you are not tweeting?
HT: Playing, forced sleep, forced eating, running fast.
SJ: Where do you live?
HT: On a street with several cars, six or seven trees and plenty of ants.
SJ: How do you get what you want from your parents?
HT: Ask over and over until they are mentally fatigued and emotionally crippled.
SJ: What are the three words you would use to describe your mom?
HT: Mom: Rules, Secret Chocolate, Hugs
SJ: What are your favorite things about your dad?
HT: Daddy is wonderful at games, throwing me in the air, and being a giant. He could work on accepting the fact that the big bed is mine also.
SJ: Describe what you picture as the perfect mom and dad.
HT: They would be generous with cake for sure.
SJ: Why are you always anxious to have your dad come home, often tweeting him to tattle on your mom?
HT: I have no recollection of that.
SJ: What is it about co-sleeping you love?
HT: The cozy.
SJ: What do you want to be when you grow up?
HT: Powerful.
SJ: You have mentioned an older sibling, does he/she have the same attitude as you?
HT: My sibling is powerful, but I am increasing in power daily.
SJ: Can you share your observations on the following topics?
HT: Moms' Nights Out: Terrible
Parent Drinks (cocktails): Terrible use of house fruit
Kids fashion: We are not Christmas trees. Ridiculous.
TV shows: Best is Aurthur because I love reggaeton. Worst is Curious George because I don't like how he thinks he's people.
Instagram: For showing off while pretending to be Laura Ingalls Wilder
Pinterest: For showing off while pretending to be Martha Stewart
Facebook: For showing off to your "friends"
SJ: What would you wear every day if you could?
HT: Naked.
Thanks, Honest Toddler! Be sure to read our round-up of his best tweets.

Fun Halloween Dessert Recipes
Halloween Dessert: Strawberry Brownie Pudding Recipe
The girls absolutely love Pocky Sticks. If you're not familiar with them, they're a popular Asian snack consisting of long, thin crackers dipped in icing. I received several packs of strawberry-flavored Pocky Sticks from Asian Food Grocer, and instead of just letting the girls devour them, I thought it would be fun to use them in a dish.
I adapted one of Ina Garten's brownie pudding recipes and made it look pink to match the Pocky Sticks. I used mini marshmallows to create teeth and Godiva chocolate pearls for the eyes. The Pocky Sticks serve as the hair. I'm thinking of serving these happy-looking treats to the kids for Halloween in a couple of weeks. Last year, I made witch-looking finger cookies that looked so realistic, children in my little munchkin's class refused to eat them!
There are only a few days left for the chance to win a $50 gift certificate. Don't forget to enter the giveaway; it takes only a few seconds to participate!

Hege, Daniel (1826-1862)
Daniel Hege, one of the outstanding early leaders of the General Conference Mennonite Church in North America, was born 26 December 1826, at Klein-Karlbach near Grünstadt in the Palatinate, the son of John and Margaret (Bergtholdt) Hege, and immigrated to the United States in 1851. After learning the trade of bookbinding he was educated at the Academy at Schiers (Canton of Graubünden), Switzerland (1848-1850), also at the Evangelical Seminary at Marthasville, Missouri (1852-1855). He taught in a private school near Bloomington, Illinois (1855-1856), and at West Point and Oskaloosa, Iowa (1856-1859). He also preached some for the Mennonite congregation at West Point, Iowa (1856-1859). He married Barbara Lehman 19 July 1857. In 1859 he was called to be the pastor of the Mennonite Church at Summerfield, Illinois. With a great vision of a united and progressive Mennonite Church in the United States, he devoted himself from the very outset of his ministry to the general work of the church. He was one of the delegates to ratify the charter constitution of the new General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America at Wadsworth, Ohio, in 1861, where he was also elected secretary of the conference. Later he was elected traveling evangelist or home missionary (Reiseprediger), the first to hold such an office among the American Mennonites. He was to serve the scattered congregations and members of the small new conference by preaching and pastoral visits in the homes, and to promote the cause of union and higher education. He was a vigorous advocate of higher education and was active in raising funds to establish such a school in his conference (the Wadsworth School). He returned from Iowa, where he was soliciting funds, to Summerfield seriously ill with typhoid fever, and died prematurely on 30 November 1862.
