text: Jack Hirt - November 03, 2010 Hunting Horicon Hunting Generations of Canada goose hunters have made memories at Wisconsin's waterfowling jewel. By Jack Hirt For anyone much younger than me, it might be hard to believe these are the good old days of goose hunting. But back in the 1950s and 1960s in our part of Wisconsin, harvesting a goose -- a Canada goose -- was truly something special. Oh, there might be a bird or two randomly taken on the Sheboygan Marsh each year. But stories of such feats were usually more rumor than fact. And there were always a few guys fortunate enough to spot and successfully sneak a feeding or resting flock coming off the Lake Michigan migratory corridor. But for eastern Wisconsin's typical stay-at-home duck hunter, a Canada goose was a trophy that, with luck, would come along once in a wildfowler's lifetime, unless that is, he got a chance to hunt the Horicon.Back then, as it still is today, the strictly federally regulated hunt in the Horicon Zone was based on a quota. The rich guys, or the lucky guys, depending upon how you looked at it, hunted the zone by leasing farmland on the edge of the refuge where they could shoot one bird per day. The average Joe applied through a highly subscribed lottery for an assigned date in one of the blinds managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that ringed the federal portion of the marsh. A Moment in the SunI think I was 12 or 13 years old when early one evening, while still dressed in his house painter's work clothes, I watched Dad's work-weary eyes light up as he tore open the government-brown envelope. "The hunt (for my Uncle, Gramps and Dad) is on for two weeks from Saturday," he happily announced. And what a glorious early October day it proved to be! It started out kind of foggy and gray as I pedaled the old Schwinn downtown early that morning for the weekly checking of my paper route at the offices of the Sheboygan Press. Fat with my $5.50 payday, I made my usual stop at the Kresge store soda fountain to treat myself to a Cherry Coke. Stepping outside after sucking the last drop of juice from the crushed ice, I found a bright sun fast-burning through the remaining haze, lighting up the full-colored maples lining the streets and avenues along the ride home. All of early autumn's splendor aside, my mind and heart were with my three heroes. Oh, how I wished I was with them! I was anxious too, thinking it would be at least late afternoon before I'd learn how their hunt unfolded. As I wheeled into our drive, I was totally surprised to find Dad's Chevy already parked at the garage. Pulling into the backyard, I was greeted with a sight I'll never forget. With Mom's back to me as she squinted through the venerable Brownie's viewfinder, there stood the three proud hunters.Dad and Uncle Bill, both broad-shouldered, meat-and-potato-bellied six-footers, dressed alike in their Jones-style duck caps and gaudy flannel shirts that contrasted mightily with their tattered hunting coats and hippers, were the bookends in the scene. Gramps, skinny, a bit shaky and definitely showing his age, dressed in buckle galoshes, faded blue work bibs, flannel shirt and trademark turtleneck and topped off with his always nattily side-cocked Kromer, was the meat in the picture's sandwich. All three had a thick-necked goose grasped firmly in their fist, and were grinning not unlike kids at Christmas as they posed for the camera. They were obviously enjoying the first-time-ever experience and the special memory they'd made.Their story still thrills me today. After a tense pre-dawn drive through a thick ground fog, they finally reached the refuge headquarters, and got directions to their assigned blind. Both Dad and Unc kept close tabs on Gramps as they made their way, still under cover of darkness, through a field of muddy corn stubble. Once situated on the bench of the simple, open-topped box blind, they settled in to await first light and eventual shooting time, still shrouded in a misty blanket of low-hanging fog. Judging by their gabbling, the geese, and plenty of them, weren't more than a half-mile away. Excitement built as the guys' gray world brightened and the distant goose music built to a fever pitch, eventually exploding in a deafening roar -- one unlike anything they'd ever heard before -- as the first flights took wing in a thunderous rush. Then they were surrounded by a world of geese, audible, but still unseen. As the birds' powerful wings thrashed and ripped at the heavy air, their resonant calls set the hunters' guts on edge.There was gunfire in the distance. Then more birds winging overhead, still invisible. The sun finally started to brighten their gray-shrouded world and the cloak of fog started to lift, relaxing its heavy grip on the damp earth. The hunters almost couldn't believe their hard-strained eyes as a trio of honkers simply materialized, quartering toward them well within gun range. It happened so fast there was no time for discussion.Without a spoken word, the three rose in unison. Their guns sprayed loads of deuces skyward. And all three geese folded, smacking the stubble D.O.A. It was with true awe the guys humbly recounted the dreamlike sequence.I pursued more details about the shooting, but couldn't get any. Dad and Uncle Bill did the real damage, I suspect. But they never did say. Gramps, quite poor of both eyesight and hearing, was living large that day. Something that was rare for the proud, but failing old-timer. No one was going to chance ruining his time in the sun.A Run and TackleMy first real crack at Horicon came a couple years later. Dad had again drawn a blind. Only two gunners were allowed, and then with only six shells each. Shooting hours were from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dad insisted on taking my younger brother, Jerry, along. Because Jerry wouldn't be shooting, Dad, being the silver-tongued devil he thought he was, figured he'd have no trouble talking the feds into making an exception to the two-man rule.Wrong!It was touch and go with the guys at the refuge headquarters, and I was nervous. Dad was getting agitated, and I didn't want him to blow my opportunity. It was close, but the head-shaking feds finally relented. Little brother could tag along if we kept him outside of the blind. Dad was still reluctant, but grudgingly agreed. I was selfishly distraught.From daybreak until 8:30 a.m., in spite of Jerry's persistent squirming, wave after endless wave of geese sailed low over our blind. The shooting, had it been allowed, would have been easy, even for me. But come 9 a.m., the bright blue Indian summer sky was completely devoid of geese. We loaded our guns, but with only two shells each, although for apparently no good reason.It was nice enough sitting around on the calm, unseasonably warm day.The great lunch Mom had packed helped pass the time, as did the impromptu sport of swatting late-season mosquitoes. But as far as getting a crack at a goose, well, things looked bleak.At the start of our last hour, a few birds finally started to stir, pretty much just trading back and forth over the waters of the nearby refuge. But then the odd single, pair or small flock would turn and head out to feed, some passing temptingly close to our hide. Those six shells were burning a hole in my mind's pocket, and I started pestering Dad. "Heck, let's at least give 'em a try!" I moaned.With only 20 minutes to go, he finally relented. I was first to take a whack at 'em. But all I got was quickly rid of five loads. Dad tried some long crossers twice, but disgustedly came up empty, giving me an "I told you so" look each time. As if in a football game, we were down to two minutes on the clock when magically, a Kamikaze single came winging by low from my side. I fired and whiffed again. For me, it was game over. But Dad instantly followed, rocking the then climbing goose with his first shot, then crunching it solidly with his sixth and last shell, sending it crashing into the tulies 60 yards off. It was a shot of shots.Jerry was off the ground, trotting after the goose. Although he was younger, even then he was far faster than me. Yet, I managed to sprint past him, running on adrenaline no doubt, in time to throw a full-body tackle on the still heads-up goose.Although not mine, it was definitely "our" prize.I was at once happy and disappointed. As I went to bed that evening, with the indescribable but wonderful sounds of 100,000 madly honking geese still throbbing in my brain, I remember it occurring to me that the real good news was that I still had my first honker to look forward to. And I was fine with that.A Goose With GrampsAnother two years passed before I got drawn for a tag that would allow me to hunt from a rented blind on private land near the refuge. The waiting lines for the best of these blinds were always long on weekends. So, with my parents' permission, my new driver's license in my pocket, and Gramps riding shotgun, I punched school that weekday morning and headed toward Bill Jenkins' farm along Highway 49.We were plenty early that day and had the pick of the litter as far as Mr. Jenkins' blinds were concerned. Having observed it doing plenty of business on a scouting trip the previous weekend, I promptly chose the hilltop blind.Given the wind that day, I realized too late that it was the wrong choice.The geese -- a lot of geese -- were passing low over the blind down on the flat. The late-arriving hunter who occupied it had his bird in no time.We continued to stick it out, but to no avail. I was getting pretty uptight when the stranger motioned for us to join him. Gramps was always sort of a loner and really not too hot on the idea. But after a little pleading, he reluctantly agreed.The guy was really overly friendly as he slid to one end of the blind to make room. I took the other end with Gramps uncomfortably stuck in the middle. After seeing our friend's gun was still locked and loaded, I asked him why. "Well, I thought (hoped was more like it) that you might need some help, lad. Be glad to back you up if you'd like," he replied.Not a man of many words, and not one who could even hear another's real well, the fire still burned in Grandpa, who piped up loudly and clearly in response. "No he doesn't, and he wouldn't like!" Much younger and not expecting such an emphatic response from the old-timer, the stranger frowned, but wisely kept his mouth shut.Anyone's first goose is a memory-maker. Mine was a life-changing experience. Angling toward us from the southeast, the loner tried to pass at 35 to 40 yards. I could see its breast muscles flexing as it pumped overhead, then watched as the load of No. 2s cut a swath of gray feathers just behind the black of the neck. The 9-pounder slapped the frozen earth with a resounding thud, short-hopped, and lay still. By the time I'd tagged the goose, Gramps, no doubt as relieved as he was proud, was out of the blind with all of our gear.Savoring the moment, obviously, had not occurred to him. It was special though, in that it was the last day Grandpa Gordon and I ever spent afield together. Evolving Honker HuntersThe geese that visited the Horicon continued to flourish. As they did their concentrations spread out from the marsh proper, to utilize roosting waters such as Green Lake and Lake Puckaway to the west. Hunting opportunity was expanded proportionately. Those opting for the new West Central Zone out around the lake country would get four tags per year that could be used one a day. For three or four buddies working together, this added up to two or three weekends of quality gunning each season. By combining our resources, our gang built a rig of more than 20-dozen shell decoys that we effectively used to learn the pleasures of hunting field-feeding geese. No longer satisfied with pass shooting, we were intent on taking our birds over the spread, or not at all. We enjoyed the scouting, the calling, the decoy placement and even the time spent asking permission to hunt private ground. All of it made us better hunters. But more than anything, we enjoyed sharing our hunts with family and friends.My Dad, Ken, and Dave's dad, Bob, had pretty much given up on waterfowling by that time. But we talked both out of retirement to sample a field hunt. We had done our homework and were set up on a hill-topped field near Markesan. There were nine of us total -- our biggest group ever -- laid out in a line along a heavily grassed fencerow that was shade-shrouded by the still standing corn at our backs to the east. In front of us, to our west, was our relatively massive spread of shell decoys, enticingly visible on the short-clipped field of corn stubble.Both Dave and I felt it was a perfect setup. That we ever totally agreed on anything was rare. That we did that day was an omen.The strung-out band of geese materialized high over the woodlot in the section to our south. As they winged northward, with the ample chow in our stubble field no doubt weighing heavily on their pea-brained minds, the birds lost altitude to the natural elevation. On they came, numbering more than 50 strong, in a ragged V-formation, and on a flight path that paralleled our line of gunners. With the geese no doubt keying on our decoys, all it took was our amateurish greeting call to turn them. As if they'd practiced their formation flying, the whole flock leaned on their left ailerons and rolled to the right. Hirt Spans a Lifetime of Fowling Although the title 'S No Geese Like Snow Geese€¦ suggests the author only details pursuits of light geese, Wisconsin waterfowl hunter Jack Hirt ranges far and wide in the 206 pages of his hardback book. Hirt shares a lifetime of hunting memories, from eiders in Maine to pintails in Mexico to geese in Argentina. Most of the book, however, is centered on the pleasures of hunts with family, friends and retrievers for ducks and geese across the United States. Available at www.ihuntbooks.com. On they came in a line confronting ours, coasting on tight-locked wings, gear down and eerily silent.My heart was pounding in my throat as I called the shot. All hell broke loose. The geese exploded into a clamoring, honking chorus as they clawed for air on their powerful wings, struggling to abort the landing. Guns spoke, and birds crumpled. Some crashed hard into the crisp-stalked standing corn. Others pounded the stubble with a resounding splat. When the smoke cleared the nine of us had cleanly taken the same number of birds. It was our most spectacular volley ever.Although there were high fives all around, the grins on Dad's and Bob's faces, as they needlessly thanked us, said it all. Though appreciated at the time, it wasn't until it was too late, as Dave and I have learned in time, that we should have been thanking them.A Hunt for the GenerationsHunting Horicon came full circle for me in 1987, the year my oldest son, Billy, was first able to hunt. Ever since he began to show a serious interest in the outdoors as a youngster, it had been my dream that Billy, his Grandpa Kenny, and I would some day share a successful Horicon hunt. The icing on the cake would be seeing Shamus, my then fast-aging yellow dog -- the dog the boy had grown up with -- retrieve the lad's first goose. With his intensive zone permit in hand, Billy, Gramps (my father), the old dog and I set out pre-dawn that mid-October Saturday. Our plan was to drive around the perimeter of the marsh, trying to find a good blind to rent for an afternoon hunt.We were rolling west on Highway 49 as it divides the heart of the federal refuge just at sunrise, and pulled over to enjoy that special show only a couple hundred thousand honkers can put on. As the swarms of rising geese blackened the clear blue sky, Grandpa instructed Billy, "Look hard now. Look for the goose with your name on it.""Let's hurry on. Let's go find us a blind," Gramps piped up, his sense of urgency bringing us back to reality.And so we did. Turning south on a county road that roughly parallels the refuge line east of Waupun, we motored only a couple miles before pulling into a familiar farmyard, its driveway marked by an oversized goose silhouette advertising simply, "Blinds." I'd hunted there years before, and the landowner recognized me. Firmly grabbing my hand as only a dairyman can he urged, "Hurry on down to the fenceline blind east of the tracks. You know the one. The birds'll be comin' off good for a while yet. Stop by and settle up with me later."Not believing our good fortune, we were outta there in a cloud of dust. Only minutes later, we were settling into the basic snow fence-ringed blind.With geese already winging our way I instructed Billy to load up the long-barreled 1100. Even at that age, the youngster was a capable shot. Short, but stocky and muscular, he'd fired a ton of target loads through the big autoloader that was nearly as long as Billy was tall. Though we hadn't talked about it, the 3-inch steel BBs, and their heavier recoil were a concern to both of us. I prayed for his success early on, knowing that a series of misses would not only shatter his psyche, but likely cause gun handling problems as well. Fortunately, it all proved a non-issue.We hadn't been in the blind for more than five minutes when we spotted a trio of honkers coming head on, low enough for a shot. When I called it, Billy popped up, swung on the out-sized leader like he'd done it 1,000 times before, and yanked the trigger. The little guy rocked with the unfelt recoil and the goose shuddered, but kept pumping. Following up with a second blast before I could tell him to, the big goose locked its wings and banked left, falling out of formation on a dead-bird-glide that ended in a crash landing 70 yards out into the cattails. Looking at Shamus, I could see he had the mark. He made his typical short work of the retrieve, bounding through the thick, muck-bottomed cover with the enthusiasm of a pup, returning to deliver the bird, (as if he knew), right to Billy.I looked at Dad. We looked at the boy/man. There were smiles all around.As there was, no doubt, from above. Billy's namesake, my Grandpa Bill Gordon Sr., was surely with us in spirit -- every bit as much as he had been with me for my first Horicon honker, more than 20 years earlier.Jack Hirt is a frequent Wildfowl contributor from Glenbeulah, Wis.

The Fermilab Cosmic Physics Center (CPC) coordinates the lab's diverse cosmic research program and enables researchers from around the world to visit Fermilab and participate in this exciting program. You can find the Fermilab Cosmic Frontier Strategic Plan here.
Cosmic Frontier Experiments at Fermilab
The mission of the High Energy Physics program is to understand how our universe works at its most fundamental level. We do this by discovering the most elementary constituents of matter and energy, exploring the basic nature of space and time itself, and probing the interactions between them.
— Mission Statement, DOE Office of High Energy Physics
Fermilab's main mission is fundamental physics, and the experiments that led to the Standard Model have mainly used the accelerators that are Fermilab's signature technology. In addition, Fermilab performs experiments on the "Cosmic Frontier" that use the extremes of the cosmos to probe physical effects in regimes not accessible with laboratory accelerators, including gravity, new forces and particles. Fermilab theorists also develop the connection between these experiments and our understanding of how the universe works.
Fermilab's Cosmic Frontier experiments share many science goals and experimental techniques with accelerator-based experiments, but seek new physics in complementary ways. The program covers all physical scales of space, time and mass where new physics might appear. Some new kinds of particles may be too massive or elusive to create in colliders, but may survive in detectable numbers from the early universe, or from natural cosmic accelerators. Some new physics, such as exotic interactions of gravity, cannot be studied in microscopic particle interactions, because they are so weak that they only dominate other forces in large assemblies of mass and volumes of space afforded in cosmic systems. New quantum physics of space and time on the smallest scales may create coherent macroscopic correlations not detectable in localized, microscopic particle interactions. The cosmos provides us with measurable particles or observable effects created in more extreme environments, higher energies and temperatures than can ever be created in a laboratory.
The entire expanding universe is a unique apparatus, ideally suited to explore some of the deepest mysteries of physics. The evolution of large-scale structure in the cosmos is dominated by the gravity of dark matter and dark energy, and it is detectably influenced by the gravity of neutrinos. These cosmic constituents experience far more extreme conditions than any material we can create on earth, even in the largest accelerators. Moreover, the cosmos is so simple on large scales that it can be measured and modeled with high precision: the structure and evolution tightly connects observable phenomena on all scales of space and time.

What are Enclosures?
Enclosures, like the name suggests, enclose an area to protect it from external elements. In the HVAC industry, enclosures protect the control systems inside the buildings. These enclosures come in different types and sizes.
What are the Purposes of Enclosures?
Depending on the size of the enclosures, they can protect smaller control units as well as multiple control units at once. Their primary job is to shield the HVAC system from dirt, dust, water, and harsh weather.
HVAC enclosures are also highly customizable to accommodate an assortment of HVAC system sizes. They are either floor-standing or wall-mounted, and different mounting options can be ordered to accommodate your needs.
What Enclosure Brands are Available?
At Blackhawk, we carry HVAC enclosures made by the US manufacturer, Saginaw Engineering. They have over fifty-five years of history in the HVAC and electrical industry.
The company provides high-quality products and world-class service from their engineering and sales staff. Some of their enclosures include popular products like the SCE-36N2406NK-T and the SCE-6N604LP.
We also have HVAC enclosures from Functional Devices. With over forty years in the HVAC industry, they have a wide assortment of enclosures like the RD18136 and MH3500.
Besides enclosures, Functional Devices also make other HVAC supplies such as relays, current sensors, power supplies, and transformers. The company also makes custom devices for specific projects with unique dimensions.
What are Enclosure Ratings?
Enclosures use several rating systems. One of these rating systems is the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standards Publication.
Under this publication, 13 different types of enclosures have been classified for non-hazardous locations with various purposes. For example, a NEMA type 1 rated enclosure is suitable for indoor use, while a NEMA type 4. 12, and 13 rated enclosure is safe for both indoor and outdoor use.
United Laboratories (UL) is another rating system accredited by the American National Standards Institute. They provide world-class product safety tests and certifications. By purchasing a UL-rated enclosure, you will have a safe and reliable product on your hands.

Obama's 'Action' on Retirement Accounts Fails to Anger or Impress
WASHINGTON – President Obama wasted little time implementing one of the major initiatives he proposed during his State of the Union address – a retirement savings plan aimed at workers who don't qualify for pension benefits.
The president sidestepped Congress to sign an executive order creating myRA, which permits workers to have money deducted tax-free from their paychecks and invested in bonds. The accumulated funds will then be available to the worker when he or she retires.
"It's a new savings bond that encourages folks to build a nest egg," Obama said in the State of the Union. "MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in."
Republicans have had practically nothing to say about the initiative even though it was executed via executive order, a process that GOP lawmakers maintain Obama uses to excess in general defiance of the Constitution. But the new program has failed to draw objections from lawmakers.
Even without the Republican denouncement, myRA has attracted only tepid enthusiasm from organizations that might normally be expected to hail a new benefit for future retirees.
A. Barry Rand, the chief executive officer of AARP, said the creation of starter retirement accounts like myRA "could help encourage more private retirement savings for those without employer plans." But he further noted the program could prove even more effective if workers were provided with more options and enhanced investor protections.
"It's not what I would describe as an earth-shattering move," said Brian Graff, executive director and chief executive officer of the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries. "It's going to help some people without a plan save for retirement."
But that in itself covers a lot of territory. Most American workers don't have a pension benefit related to their jobs. Social Security was intended to supplement retirement income and, despite advances, the monthly check doesn't generally meet a retiree's needs.
Obama in the past voiced support for automatic employee enrollment in employer-run Individual Retirement Accounts – IRAs – but opted instead for the voluntary plan. The administration has long sought to increase savings, citing a number of statistics establishing that American workers aren't properly prepared for retirement.
The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College found that 53 percent of households are at risk of not having enough invested money to maintain their living standards in retirement. The accounting firm of Ernst & Young maintains 59 percent of new middle-class retirees will outlive their savings. While 68 percent of U.S. workers have access to some retirement benefits, only 54 percent participate in those available plans.
Obama said in remarks delivered at the United States Steel Corp.'s Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, Pa., during a signing ceremony on Wednesday, that "for those of you who don't have a 401(k) on the job, don't have a pension on the job, don't have a mechanism to start saving -- especially younger workers -- you can get started now. And in an emergency, you can withdraw contributions without paying a penalty. So it's a pretty good deal. And what I'm hoping is that working Americans will take a look, because I want more people to have the chance to save for retirement through their hard work. And this is just one step that we can take to help more people do that.'"

Background: Cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure and incidental gallbladder cancer is a rare and unexpected finding at a cholecystectomy performed upon benign indications. Whether to perform routine or selective histopathology of the gallbladder specimen is still a subject for discussion. The prognosis of gallbladder cancer is largely affected by tumour stage and treatment.
Aims: The overall aim was to study whether routine histological examination of the gallbladder specimen is of clinical and health economic value; determine if there are any predictive factors of incidental gallbladder cancer at benign cholecystectomy and compare the management and outcome of incidental gallbladder cancer patients in Sweden.
Methods: All studies were based on registry data from GallRiks (The Swedish Registry for Gallstone Surgery and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) between 2007 and 2016, with some modifications between studies. Complemental cross-linkage was made to national registries, and medical records were reviewed. Papers I, II and III were population-based observational studies with prospectively and retrospectively collected data. Paper IV was a health economic evaluation based on the results from papers I and III.
Results and conclusions: Hospitals submitting >75 per cent of gallbladder specimens diagnosed a higher proportion of incidental gallbladder cancer than did hospitals submitting ≤25 per cent of samples (paper I). Incidental gallbladder cancer was more prevalent in older patients, women and patients with acute or previous cholecystitis, as well as ongoing jaundice. The risk model based on predictive preoperative factors was further improved by adding a macroscopic assessment of the gallbladder (paper II). Predictive factors for gallbladder cancer appeared to have an impact on which specimens were submitted in hospitals with a selective approach of histopathology (paper I). For pT2 and pT3 patients, re-resection improved diseasespecific survival, although these groups differed in terms of age and comorbidity (paper III). Residual disease was an independent factor for impaired survival. A change to routine histopathology of gallbladder specimens in Sweden would lead to increased costs with little improved health outcomes. Instead, a more standardized approach to selective histology would be needed (paper IV).
Incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC) is an unexpected finding when a cholecystectomy is performed upon a benign indication, and the use of routine or selective histological analysis of gallbladder specimen is still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the proportion of submitted gallbladder specimens for pathological investigation influences the proportion of IGBC found, and what possible factors preoperatively or perioperatively could influence the selection process. All cholecystectomies between January 2007 and September 2014 registered in the Swedish Registry of Gallstone Surgery and ERCP (GallRiks) were included. Proportion of histological analysis was divided into four subgroups (0-25%, amp;gt; 25-50%, amp;gt; 50-75%, amp;gt; 75-100%). A total of 81,349 cholecystectomies were registered, and 36,010 (44.3%) gallbladder specimens were sent for histological analysis. A total of 213 cases of IGBC were discovered, which constituted 0.26% of all cholecystectomies performed and 0.59% of the number of gallbladder specimens sent for histological analysis. Hospitals submitting amp;gt; 75-100% of the gallbladder specimens had significantly more IGBC/1000 cholecystectomies performed (p = 0.003). Hospitals with the most selective approach had a significantly higher proportion of IGBC/1000 gallbladders that were sent for histological analysis (p amp;lt; 0.001). Factors such as higher age (p amp;lt; 0.001), female gender (p = 0.048) and macroscopic cholecystitis (p amp;lt; 0.001) were more common in gallbladder specimens from hospitals that had a selective approach to histological analysis. A routine approach to histological analysis in cholecystectomies with a benign indication for surgery can uncover a higher proportion of IGBC cases. When a selective approach is used, risk factors should be taken into account.
Background. Gallbladder cancer is a rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis and correct treatment strategy is important. The aim of this study was to identify predictors for incidental gallbladder cancer. Methods. Data from cholecystectomies registered in the nationwide Swedish Register for Gallstone Surgery between 2007 and 2014 were analyzed for incidental gallbladder cancer. Exclusion criteria were patients with a gallbladder not sent for histopathology, preoperative suspicion of polyps/gallbladder cancer, and indication for operation for other reasons than gallstone disease. Predictive factors for incidental gallbladder cancer were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results. A total of 86,154 procedures were registered in the Swedish Register for Gallstone Surgery. Of these, 36,355 patients were included in the analysis, and 215 of the included patients had incidental gallbladder cancer (0.59%). Mean age was 70 11 years for index cases and 54 16 years for the control group, and 80% of cases and 60% of controls were female. Predictors for incidental gallbladder cancer were older age (odds ratio = 1.08; P amp;lt; .001), female sex (odds ratio = 3.58; P amp;lt; .001), previous cholecystitis (odds ratio = 1.37; P = .045), and the combination of acute cholecystitis without jaundice (odds ratio = 1.39; P = .041) and jaundice without acute cholecystitis (odds ratio = 2.02; P = .009). A preoperative risk model including these factors gave an area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82. By adding macroscopic evaluation of the gallbladder by the surgeon, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve increased to 0.87. Intraoperatively suspected gallbladder cancer was confirmed as cancer in 31 % of the cases. Conclusion. Incidental gallbladder cancer is more likely to be diagnosed in older patients, women, and after previous cholecystitis. Jaundice and acute cholecystitis were also shown to be important risk factors. Intraoperative inspection of the gallbladder improved the risk model.
Background Incidental gallbladder cancer is a rare event, and its prognosis is largely affected by the tumour stage and treatment. The aim of this study was to analyse the management, treatment and survival of patients with incidental gallbladder cancer in a national cohort over a decade. Methods Patients were identified through the Swedish Registry of Gallstone Surgery (GallRiks). Data were cross-linked to the national registry for liver surgery (SweLiv) and the Cancer Registry. Medical records were collected if registry data were missing. Survival was measured as disease-specific survival. The study was divided into two intervals (2007-2011 and 2012-2016) to evaluate changes over time. Results In total, 249 patients were identified with incidental gallbladder cancer, of whom 92 (36 center dot 9 per cent) underwent re-resection with curative intent. For patients with pT2 and pT3 disease, median disease-specific survival improved after re-resection (12 center dot 4 versus 44 center dot 1 months for pT2, and 9 center dot 7 versus 23 center dot 0 months for pT3). Residual disease was present in 53 per cent of patients with pT2 tumours who underwent re-resection; these patients had a median disease-specific survival of 32 center dot 2 months, whereas the median was not reached in patients without residual disease. Median survival increased by 11 months for all patients between the early and late periods (P = 0 center dot 030). Conclusion Re-resection of pT2 and pT3 incidental gallbladder cancer was associated with improved survival, but survival was impaired when residual disease was present. A higher re-resection rate and more R0 resections in the later time period may have been associated with improved survival.

Nafta: Canada and Mexico no closer to trade deal with USA
DIVISIONS over updating the Nafta trade deal showed no sign of easing as Mexico and Canada signalled they would not offer counterproposals to US demands for far stronger automotive content rules, people with knowledge of the talks said.
A lack of movement on major issues during talks could be a huge setback
The lack of movement on major issues such as autos rules of origin could put the North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations in danger of grinding to a stalemate as an early 2018 deadline for revising the pact approaches.
A source close to the negotiations said Mexico had serious problems with a number of US proposals, including Washington's demand that regional content for autos be raised to 85 percent from 62.5 percent, with 50 percent coming from the United States.
The source also said that Mexico could not accept a US proposal that would restrict imports of some Mexican produce at certain times to protect growers.
Mexico does not plan to make counterproposals in those areas, the source said, adding that the US autos proposal was "unviable" and would "make the region less competitive."
Jerry Dias has warned that talks are not going anywhere
As long as the United States is taking the position they are, this is a colossal waste of time
A Canadian source with knowledge of the negotiations said Canada also intended to refrain from offering an autos counterproposal and instead make a presentation on Monday arguing that the U.S. demands would cause serious damage to both US and North American automotive manufacturing.
The United States, Canada and Mexico are holding the fifth of seven planned rounds of talks to modernise Nafta, which President Donald Trump blames for job losses and big trade deficits for his country.
"The talks are really not going anywhere," Jerry Dias, the president of Unifor, the largest Canadian private-sector union, told reporters after meeting with Canada's chief negotiator on Sunday.
"As long as the United States is taking the position they are, this is a colossal waste of time," said Dias, who is advising the government and regularly meets the Canadian team.

hello!i'm french ,I'm french, then please excuse-me my bad English!
I would like to explore the date of Excel through Mega by the help of a macro Mega. But I cannot find the functions that can access the data of Excel (the value inside the cell and sheet of Excel)Could you please give me some advices?
Go to Solution.
If you need to do an Excel macro, classic VBA works in Excel. Google is your friend for help in VB code.
Example: The following code puts the value "toto" into the cell on column 1, row 1.
Cells(1, 1) = "toto"
You can use variables to advance through the file
Cells(i,j) = value
Values can be attained from MEGA by connecting to MEGA and using MEGA VB functions (GetCollection for concepts and links and GetSelection for queries, GetProp to attain the value of a property, etc.)
The Exchange documentation is critical and the training is helpful. MEGA Product Consultants are comfortable with code such as VB and are trained in specifics of MEGA VB operations.
In the macro in the Excel spreadsheet, you must reference in your project the "Mega application automation components" libary (to access Mega VB functions). This file is called "mg_mapp.dll" and it is located in the "System" folder of the MEGA installation.
If you have the Exchange module (XCH licence), you have access to the Excel editor that allows to create, update, export and import objects and their properties (but not links). This allows to not have to develop a specific tool for your export.

Gregorys Coffee — Washington Blvd., Jersey City
525 Washington Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07310, USA
Editor's Review
Founded in 2006 by Gregory Zamfotis, the Gregorys Coffee chain has been storming Manhattan (and Brooklyn, and Jersey City, and now DC) for several years, and there are currently more than two dozen locations in the NYC area. They have managed to create a somewhat remarkable system for rolling out new locations without sacrificing quality, and now with a huge roastery in Long Island City, the ubiquitous Gregorys logo—coffee cups where Gregory's eyeglasses should be—may be unstoppable. They are known for their espresso, AeroPress coffee, and delicious cold brew, as well as a broad menu that includes smoothies, cold pressed juices, parfaits, pastries, and sandwiches. And while it can be hard to tell the various outlets apart, there is an attention to detail, quality, and presentation throughout the chain that is undeniable.
This location, in a glassy office tower surrounded by other chain food service options, is busy all day— particularly early, and during lunch hour—with traffic from the many offices surrounding.

Dispute Resolution: Why Your Matter May Not Need to Go to Court
Court can be a scary and emotionally draining experience. However, depending on your matter, you may be able to avoid going to Court altogether.
The Family Law Act 1975 specifies that in most circumstances (unless urgent circumstances, parents must meet with a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner before they can commence Court proceedings.
Often, even when these proceedings have commenced, parents will still be required to attend mediation. Likewise, parties who have financial and property disputes will also often be Ordered to attend mediation, although they are not required to undertake this step prior to commencing proceedings. However, mediation and Family Dispute Resolution aren't the only dispute resolution options available.
In this guide we will discuss why your matter may not need to go to court and what the options available are.
Mediation is a confidential process. It is overseen by an independent and impartial third party who facilitates negotiations between the parties in an attempt to resolve a dispute.
In most matters, mediation is a step that's required by the courts. Due to this, mediation is an option you should explore before you attempt to begin court proceedings.
A mediator cannot impose a decision on the parties involved, however they can help the parties explore the relevant issues in depth and attempt to reach the best possible conclusion. The mediation process usually involves the legal advisors of each party, but it can be conducted without legal advisors being present.
Mediation is a popular solution because it is often quicker than arbitration or litigation to resolve disputes due to its efficient nature. It is also more cost effective than those options and empowers parties to make their own decisions, leading to a more tailored outcome that suits the needs of both parties.
Family Dispute Resolution
Family dispute Resolution is compulsory in most parenting matters before court proceedings can be issued. With family dispute resolutions, a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner will meet with the parties in an attempt to solve their disputes over arrangements for children.
In doing so, the Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner will make an assessment whether both parties have the ability to negotiate freely, or whether they are affected by matters such as safety or domestic violence.
If a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner cannot assist the parties in resolving the dispute, they will issue a Section 60I certificate that allows parties to commence court proceedings.
The Collaborative Process
This is a shared commitment to resolving a dispute without court action and involves a series of informal meetings between both parties, their lawyers and other professional advisors.
As part of this collaborative process, parties are expected to work collaboratively, focusing on the future in an effort to solve problems amicably.
The service is bespoke, which means that it's often more expensive, but offers swifter resolution and usually results in far less ill will between the parties.
As part of an arbitration process, two or more parties refer their dispute to an independent third party known as the Arbitrator. An Arbitrator is an impartial party who has had previous Court experience, such as a retired Judge.
Financial matters and property disputes are the most suitable for using Arbitration as a means of dispute resolution.
Arbitration is conducted in the same way a Court matter is run, inclusive of deadlines to be met, and submissions to be made. Less complex cases may be decided based on documentary submissions alone, whereas more complex cases may benefit from a judicial style of hearing.
The result of arbitration is known as the 'award' and is enforceable in the same manner as a court judgement.
Although arbitration is suitable for couples who have separated, it may not be suitable in instances where there is a significant disagreement over the facts of the separation.
However, arbitration can greatly reduce the emotional and financial stress involved in the process and the parties can control the timeframe for resolving the dispute.
Litigation is the most confrontational form of reaching a resolution and does require going to court where a judge will use his or her discretion to determine what is in the best interests of children and/or what division of assets is just and equitable. The adversarial system is incredibly slow and delays are very, very common. Due to the representation required and the expert witnesses that are often involved, the litigation process is also very expensive. Each path to resolution will suit different cases and matters. If you have a matter that you're considering taking to court, please contact us on 07 3837 5500 or at email@example.com to learn more about which of these processes may be best suited to your requirements.

Dear MyPE
The Democratic Alliance welcomes the move of the Eastern Cape MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA), Xolile Nqatha, to place the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality under administration in terms of section 139 (1) b of the constitution.
On the 18th of March this year, the DA marched to the Komani Town Hall where a memorandum was presented to the then Mayor, Nokuzola Tolashe, requesting that a full forensic audit be launched into the affairs of the municipality.
During the 2018 financial year, the Auditor-General reported in excess of R1 billion in irregular, unauthorised, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and the municipality was forced to sell 44 municipal vehicles in order to service its debt.
The memorandum placed focus on the following areas of concern:
All financial transactions, including investment accounts, from EMLM and the three entities during amalgamation to determine where all monies flowed to;
All fruitless, wasteful and irregular expenditure of EMLM and the three entities with the view of implementing proper consequence management on officials and office bearers responsible for the financial woes of EMLM;
Complete investigation on all bid adjudication committee appointments of service providers/contractors by current and former entities, as well as a complete audit on projects and the quality thereof; for the period 2015/16 to 2018/19.
Residents have also been receiving faulty rates accounts and in some cases, no rates accounts at all. This has impacted very negatively on the cash flow of this already bankrupt municipality, which in turn has resulted in dramatically reduced service delivery.
We welcome the MEC's announcement that the entire municipality will fall under administration, including the Finance Directorate and the Human Resources Directorate, and commend him for acting on the DA's memorandum.
The DA will closely monitor the performance of the municipality going forward.
All the residents of this municipality deserve better services and we will continue in our efforts to get Komani back on track so that all residents can enjoy their right to basic municipal services.

Pizza Day is a good reminder for all crypto enthusiasts about how quickly the crypto asset can develop in relatively small time frame. Today we are witnessing development of different crypto currencies that are fighting for investors and chance to become equal or even better that the original.

Villa Falti
Villa with 9 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and private pool in Pontassieve, Italy
From £5,075 per week
Villa to rent in Pontassieve, Italy
If you're looking for an inspirational setting for your holiday, look no further than Villa Falti.
Share this holiday home
Villa overview - owner's description
If you're looking for an inspirational setting for your holiday, look no further than Villa Falti. A recently restored farmhouse positioned on the grounds of a castle and surrounded by idyllic Chianti countryside, it's pretty special.
And this is the place to immerse yourselves in true Tuscan country style. The villa itself is one of five properties on the castle estate. Boasting bountiful olive groves, vineyards and even saffron fields, there are so many ways to explore the vast grounds, and the castle itself. You can even join a tour of the castle, where you'll get the chance to step into the ancient underground cellars for a tipple of the estate's renowned wine.
But, firstly, to the villa. A beautifully renovated farmhouse complete with rustic wooden beams and typical Tuscan furnishings, it's elegant yet cosy and comfortable. Villa Falti comprises the main villa with seven beautiful and spacious bedrooms, each with their private bathroom and an independent annex with two additional bedrooms. It's the ideal place for an extended family or group of friends to enjoy the villa and its surroundings.
If you can manage to draw yourselves away from the gently sloping hills of Chianti and enter your villa, you'll be pleased you did. The kitchen is stylish, generously-sized and undoubtedly ample for cooking up a big Italian feast, using all the seasonal produce available to you of course. There's even a farm shop on-site - cinnamon jam anyone? But, if you're not quite in the mood for cooking, no worries, there's a restaurant in the grounds too - another opportunity to taste all that lovely olive oil and wine.
This is a self-catering family holiday made easy. If you want to take a night off from cooking, you can; if you've run out of anything, there's a shop on-site, if you're looking for things to do, there's plenty. You can even take cookery classes - and who wouldn't want to in Italy!
For the kids (and you, of course), there's a lovely private swimming pool where you can enjoy breathtaking views out towards the ancient walls of Castello del Trebbio. Or, just amble around the grounds. With so much of it to explore, you'll never tire of this beautiful, natural haven.

Tuscany - FlorenceTuscany is as beautiful as everyone would have you believe and nowhere is that more evident than in Chianti.
Rolling hills, scattered olive groves and ancient vineyards, medieval hilltop towns and those iconic cypress trees - it's one place that's worthy of the much-used phrase 'awe-inspiring.' So, exploring the Fiesole hills of Chianti, where Villa Falti is tucked away, is special indeed.
Fiesole is a small, sleepy town with a petite piazza and some cafes - a lovely way to spend a lazy summer's day, but it's the drive through Tuscan countryside hills to see it, and the views over Florence, that are the real highlights.
Only 10km from Florence, this striking town is a must-see. The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance - it's bursting with culture, art, history and beauty. Whether it's the terracotta-tiled dome of the cathedral, the masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery or the camera-ready Ponte Vecchio at dusk, there will always be something else to do. Or, you could just sit at one of the stylish bars and watch the world go by...

The History of Jay's Upholstery...
Jay's Upholstery is a family owned and operated company, established by Jay Parsons and introduced to Denton, TX in 1968. After serving in the US Army during WWII, Jay began learning the art of upholstery in Corpus Christi, TX and opened his own business in 1946.
He moved his family and business to Concord, California, and later returned to Texas to open Jays Upholstery in 1968. Mr. Parsons built his reputation and that of Jay's Upholstery by dedication to customer satisfaction, hands-on expertise in all projects, and excellence in craftsmanship.
His son, Audie learned the art of upholstery by his father's side from the early age of 8. Years have passed and so has Jay. Jay's Upholstery remains a family owned and operated company with Audie at the head and his son Adam by his side.
Jay's Upholstery still strives for craftsmanship. Our selection of dedicated and professional employees who offer timely completion, combined with low overhead operating procedures allows us to offer quality at an affordable price.
We use the highest quality of upholstery fabrics.

Permits and Licenses
Resident Commuter Parking Permit
Resident Commuter Parking by US mail. Applicants may still obtain a permit at Police HQ, but only during limited hours.
- Resident Commuter Parking Stickers are available for an annual fee of $150.00 per year, January to December. Households may purchase multiple stickers, with the second and subsequent stickers available at the cost of $80 for the same household. Permits will be valid from time of purchase through December 31, 2019. Applicants are required to provide a valid NJ vehicle registration (showing your Glen Rock address). If your vehicle is leased, you will need to provide proof of residency in the form of a valid NJ Driver's license.
- To obtain Resident Commuter Parking Permits by mail, please download 2019 Resident Computer Parking Form. Mail the completed application and payment along with a copy of your NJ Driver's license, registration and insurance card to: Glen Rock Police Records Bureau, 1 Harding Plaza, Glen Rock, and NJ 07452. YOU MUST ALSO INCLUDE A STAMPED, SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE.
- Payment must be made by check or money order only. All checks should be made out to the BOROUGH OF GLEN ROCK. The Police Department CANNOT accept credit cards or cash for parking permits.
- All commuter parking, such as Harding Plaza, West Plaza, Main Line lot and Main Street meters, is on a first-come-first-serve non-guaranteed basis.
- For unplanned emergencies, such as a vehicle having a sticker becoming disabled, another vehicle can be parked as long as the resident calls the Glen Rock Police Central Dispatch (201-652-3800) before 8:00 am with the correct information. Correct information will include name, address, telephone number and LICENSE PLATE NUMBER of the vehicle being used. A vehicle description alone will not be sufficient. DO NOT CALL THE RECORDS BUREAU.
- For residents with a longer vehicle repair, such as a vehicle in a body shop for a few days, the resident must obtain a temporary sticker at the GRPD to be displayed in the other vehicle. There is no charge for this service, which has been working successfully for years. However, these permits are only available when the Police Department Records Bureau is open, see below for hours of operation.
- Borough policy allows parking privileges for residential properties split by a town border. In order to purchase a sticker, a resident with a split lot and an out of town license must get a tax map copy from either the Tax Assessor or Tax Collector. This map must be presented to the Administrative Aide at the Police Records and Reception Desk along with the proper fee, valid vehicle registration and insurance card.
- New Residents may obtain a temporary parking permit free of charge for a period not to exceed 60 days. New residents must show proof of residency in Glen Rock in the form of a deed, lease or public utility bill.
Note: New Residents of New Jersey are required by State Law to obtain a NJ Driver's License and register their vehicles in NJ within 60 day after becoming a resident. Residents moving within the State must file a change of address with the NJ Division of Motor Vehicle within one week after moving. The Glen Rock Police Department WILL NOT issue permits to new residents who fail to comply with State Law.
Glen Rock Commuter Parking must be ADHERED to NON-TINTED driver's side window of your vehicle.
Permits, which are left on top of dashboards or otherwise improperly placed, will NOT BE HONORED.
Commuter parking is available at any one of the five designated commuter parking areas, however a permit is required and must be properly affixed and displayed on your vehicle.
Resident commuter parking areas are located at the N.J. Transit Borough Hall Railroad/Bus Station with lots at the rear of the Ambulance Headquarters, Harding Plaza , West Plaza and the West Plaza Extension. An additional residential parking area for commuters is located at the N.J. Transit Main Line Railroad Station.
Parking is limited and on a first-come-first-serve basis. All vehicles must be removed from commuter parking lots by 2 AM. Vehicles without a valid permit or those left in the lot overnight will be issued summonses.
Non-resident Commuter Parking
Metered parking is available to non-resident commuters at a cost of $8.00 per day (regardless of the length of stay) beginning January 1, 2018. These lots also tend to fill up quickly and the parking is limited. Vehicles left at a meter overnight will be issued a summons.
Main Line Lot – South Side
Attention Non-Resident Commuter Parkers:
The Borough of Glen Rock appreciates your patronage and patience in parking in our commuter lots. The current parking payment system has presented many challenges and frustration to both of us. That is why I am pleased to announce a new system of pay for daily parking in both the Borough Hall Bergen Line lot and the Main Line lot:
Pay by Phone Parking Through Parkmobile
This system will allow you to purchase daily parking at $8, with a small convenience fee of 35cents, by just a phone call or mobile app payment. No more credit cards, cash, coin or smart cards necessary, just register at www.parkmobile.com to get started. There will be signs posted in the lots with further direction. After you have registered with your payment preference at Parkmobile, daily users have to remember their spot number and zone. Once you are comfortably on the bus or train, use the mobile app or call the 800 number and register your spot.
For our monthly commuter pass purchasers, we will continue to sell the rear-view placards at Borough Hall, or you can just mail us a check and we would be happy to mail back your pass. The placard is attached to the rear-view mirror and you are done for the month. The placards should be removed from the rear-view mirror when the vehicle is in operation. If there is any interest, the Borough will offer a year parking fee for $1,000, which would only require one payment for the year.
Please take a few moments and visit www.parkmobile.com to become familiar with the system. Should you have any questions, please call Lenora Benjamin at 201-670-3954, or email them to email@example.com.
Thank you for parking with us.
- PROCEED TO www.parkmobile.com
- LOG ON TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND PAY $8.00 per day, for any portion of the day.
As of Friday, March 29, 2013, the Borough of Glen Rock will be discontinuing the use of the Metric Parking Meters, located at Borough Hall and Main Line Stations, for any parking transactions. Please log on to www.parkmobile.com to register for pay by phone parking. Please contact Lenora Benjamin at 201-670-3954 for any questions in this regard.

As the New Year begins, will anglers catch more fish or more grief from government regulators? While everyone will hope for the former, our sources believe that the State of California will try to impose even more costly and onerous regulations and limitations on recreational fishing. This could be very apparent in just the first few months of the year, as the State will decide whether to begin a three-year process to determine the merits of imposing unprecedented regulations on common fishing gear, and an appeals court will rule on draconian fish stocking regulations.
Unlike the political battles to deny access to guns, efforts to restrict fishing is far more subtle, but equally calculating. Despite having one of the longest coastlines in the United States, and tens of thousands of lakes, reservoirs and streams, California now ranks dead last in the U.S. for fishing participation. All this as the number of annual fishing licenses declined nearly 55 percent since 1980. At this rate, anglers may become an endangered species!
Ironically, policymakers fail to recognize that as they accelerate the number of regulations imposed on fishing, they also bite the very hand that feeds their insatiable appetite for more tax revenue. Recreational fishing contributes over $4.9 billion to our State's economy each year, supporting outdoor tourism and jobs!
California Sportfishing League's 2015 "Top Five Watch List."
1) Fishing Gear Ban: The Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has listed fishing gear among its list of consumer products potentially subjected to extremely costly regulations and ban. DTSC listed fishing tackle as an environmental threat without developing any scientific analysis, and many believe that it targeted fishing gear for purely political reasons. New regulations that ban products or drive up production costs will only incentivize manufacturers to flee the California market entirely. DTSC is expected to rule in January.
2) Fish Stocking Lawsuit: In 2010, the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) introduced fish stocking regulations so costly that, if imposed, could put California fish farmers out of business and make stocking many lakes a thing of the past. Given that private fish farmers stock 100 percent of California's warm water lakes and a significant number of cold waters too, the outcome of this case will greatly impact freshwater fishing and tourism in many parts of California. The 3rd District Court of Appeals is expected to rule any day.
3) Marine Protected Areas: Local government and environmental groups are aggressively lobbying the State to establish more MPAs that would limit recreational fishing. Most notably, the City of Manhattan Beach is asking the State to close fishing entirely along its shoreline by imposing a new MPA in a massive overreaction to an extremely rare shark attack.
4) Illegal Local Fishing Regulations: While only the state has the authority to regulate fishing, local governments have continued to pass illegal ordinances that limit or ban fishing from piers and jetties. These local ordinances create a fragmented and confusing regulatory regime, and inhibit access for anglers throughout the State.
5) Fishing License Fees and Programs: The DFW has reduced the size of trout stocked in California lakes and streams by half, from an average of ½ pound, to ¼ pound. As one of our Facebook Fans posted, these smaller trout are "chum for larger fish." This will create a vicious circle. DFW will raise less money from fishing fees, leading to further cutbacks in conservation programs, and even more reductions in the quality, size and number of fish stocked.
The California Sportfishing League fights for anglers against such unneeded, unproductive government intrusion. CSL is the angler's advocate in Sacramento, and thousands of fishermen have followed its lead to speak with a powerful voice to support their right to wet a line and spend time on the water. In 2015, we encourage California's fishing community to go fishing, and more often. All the while, we will be manning the frontlines and protecting your right to fish.
