Roadside fishing versus backcountry? Philip compares.
The majority of my fishing could be classified as roadside fishing. I drive and park near a river or lake, then walk anywhere from a few metres to a kilometre or two to start fishing, depending upon a whole range of factors which probably don’t need further examination here. Once actually on the water, the app on my phone tells me I can sometimes end up walking surprising distances (particularly up and down lake shores). But I still think of these trips as separate from true backcountry trips.
In a sense then, my idea of a backcountry trip is maybe easier to define as the absence of something. If you can’t get there (or close) by vehicle, I think it’s backcountry. I’m not sure how boat travel fits, but if I end up somewhere that’s difficult to get to any other way, I suppose that’s backcountry too.
I used to think backcountry trips were all but a guarantee of great fishing. However, over the years, I’ve come to realise that, while there are many wonderful elements to backcountry adventures, the actual catching of fish isn’t necessarily one of them. For a start, remoteness often equals uncertainty. Much of the information I rely upon when planning a regular trip, such as the present and recent condition of the river or lake I plan to visit, isn’t easily available for many backcountry waters.
My brother Mark tells the story of going to great effort to reach a seldom-fished backcountry river in New Zealand, only to find upon arrival that it had been so blasted by a recent flood, there was debris caught in trees 25 metres above the water. With growing despair (there was no Plan B other than a two-day slog back out) Mark and his fishing mates worked their way up the scoured rubble of the stream for hours, without any sign of a trout. Not exactly the backcountry of brochures! Then, just when they were resigned to a brutal walk and a wasted few days, they rounded a bend to find a giant landslip… upstream of which lay a much healthier river, and trout. Mark ended up having a really good backcountry trip, but it was a close call and a handy reality check.
I suppose the unknown is part of the package with backcountry. Maybe you find sublime fishing in perfect conditions for trout that have never seen a fly… or you could discover your planned trophy trout tarn has dried up, or the river floods and rain keeps you in the tent. In a sense, backcountry trips feature the risk/reward that financial boffins talk about, although in this case, regardless of the fishing result, there is usually some reward in simply spending time in the wilderness.
I also like that in the backcountry, there is some connection to pre technology times. We can briefly put ourselves in the wading boots of pioneers like Carl Massey, John Sautelle, Alf Wark and Reg Lyne to name a few, who ventured into remote lakes and streams without the benefit of 10 day forecasts, rainfall histories, or smartphone access to gauging stations. It all feels more authentic, and you get to place extra reliance on your own senses and instincts, rather than devices. When it comes together and you catch lots of fish or big fish, the reward is sweeter. And if it doesn’t work out, maybe you’ve learnt something that will help next time. At least you gave it a shot, and you’re sure to have stories and memories not easily forgotten.
Speaking of links to the old days, backcountry trips come with a requirement for self-sufficiency. No driving to the nearest town for a replacement if you forget your rain jacket: if it pours, you are going to get wet. And a simple thing like no jacket could even end up being life-threatening if the weather turns really bad.
Finally, all backcountry trips face the unlikely but awkward possibility that another angler has beaten you to it. It can be a bit galling to go to all that trouble, only to fish second-hand water. Hopefully, discussions in good faith can help resolve the issue, although you never know!
Roadside fishing is almost like the flipside of backcountry fishing. I seldom forget anything important when I drive to my destination. That’s not due to a superb memory and meticulous organisational skill, but because my car has become a mobile storeroom of spare stuff: fly boxes, gloves, beanies, caps, rods, first-aid kit, matches, water, snack bars… I could just about walk straight to the car from this desk, wearing only the clothes on my back, and pull off a perfectly acceptable roadside fishing day.
Roadside fishing also has the advantage of rapid access to information and options. Proximity to civilisation, and things like gauging stations, weather stations and phone towers, mean you can in fact click a mouse or touch a screen to obtain data about current water conditions, likely weather for your trip – and reassure yourself the stream didn’t in fact dry up last summer! If you don’t do any good despite the checks, or you find yourself sharing the water with too many fishers, it’s merely a matter of walking back to the car and driving to a nearby alternative.
As I suggested earlier, you might think backcountry waters would provide a fishing premium in terms of numbers, size or both – at least given the right fishing conditions. In fact, the reality of my experience is that roadside vs backcountry are usually as productive as each other. On trips where I do both, it can be a bit disconcerting to catch as many fish (and good ones) from a short walk across the paddock, as in some remote mountain gorge I’ve spent hours trekking into.
Still, for all the reasons above and more, I’ll keep fishing the backcountry as long as I’m able. While many roadside sessions have blurred into each other, I can recall every backcountry trip perfectly. That must mean something.
Postscript: We’re introducing occasional cartoons under the title ‘Wind Knots’ from local flyfisher, Bruce Ratcliffe. This one seemed a good fit with the roadside vs backcountry theme…

President Donald Trump has sunk a lot of money into a pair of Scottish properties, and the Commander-in-Chief is losing substantial money on both of them.
The Associated Press reports the combined losses at Trump Turnberry and Trump International Golf Links in Scotland totaled $23 million in 2016, double the prior year's losses, according to documents filed with the British government. Combined revenue fell 21 percent over 2015, down to $11.7 million from $15 million.
In addition to the operating losses, Trump said a $10 million loss was attributed to the falling British Pound in the wake of the Brexit vote.
According to Bloomberg, Trump has increased his loans to limited liability companies for each resort, with a 112 million pound loan for Turnberry and a 40.6 million pound loan to Trump International.
Trump had closed Turnberry for more than half of 2016, as he had invested millions in renovating the 36-hole resort, including a redesign of the British Open host Ailsa Course and constructing the new King Robert the Bruce course, which opened in 2017.
Opened in 2012, Trump International Golf Links, while Martin Hawtree's course design is highly lauded, has been highly controversial from the beginning. Local residents objected to the course and its potential environmental impacts, leading to embarrassing court battles and public relations for Trump. Trump also made a stink when wind turbines were proposed off the coast of the facility, with Trump calling them unsafe and saying they block the view of the water.
Trump has been planning to build a second course there, though an online petition protesting the plan has nearly 95,000 signatures. Scottish government environmental groups also oppose the proposal. The club lost $1.4 million in 2016, a 28 percent increase over 2015.
Organizers for the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open had been considering bringing the high-profile European Tour event to Trump International Golf Links, but it appears the club won't host in the near future.
Turnberry remains in consideration for future Open Championships, but it won't host until at least 2022, as the R&A, which runs the event, has committed to courses until 2021. Turnberry last hosted golf's oldest major in 2009, when then-59-year-old Tom Watson nearly became golf's oldest major winner as he lost in a playoff to Stewart Cink.
The Trump Organization owns and runs both properties. While Trump's financial stake is at risk, his adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, run the company.

The Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu has accused former President John Mahama of attempting to influence the independent mandate of his office with his recent pronouncements.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 28, 2020, Mr Amidu referenced comments Mr Mahama reportedly made in separate news publications to the effect that he won’t sack Mr Amidu or interfere with his work if he [Mahama] wins the December 7 polls.
He stressed that he does not need assurances from anybody that he will still be in office after the elections since the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act governs the independence and tenure of the office.
“It is, therefore, needless for anybody to assume airs about what she or he will do with the Office or Martin Amidu when she or he wins the elections. The Office is an independent statutory anti-corruption agency and must be respected as such notwithstanding who for the time being holds the Office of the Special Prosecutor,” the statement said.
“Crime is crime. There is no need trying to politicize the work of the Office and linking its fate with election results”.
The Special Prosecutor stated that he considered the comments made by Mr Mahama as an attempt to influence the independent mandate of this Office to investigate and prosecute certain electoral offences apportioned to his Office under the law.
“As the Special Prosecutor who personifies the Office of the Special Prosecutor, I find such statements patronizing, and needless within the objects, mandate and functions granted to the Office under the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959),” the statement said.
“These pronouncements constitute interferences with, and attempts to influence the independent mandate of this Office to investigate and prosecute certain electoral offences apportioned to this Office under the law which constitute corruption and corruption-related offences as clearly stated in Section 79 of Act 959.

Ativisition’s CEO said that while game pre-orders are declining on Wednesday, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare pre-orders are “significantly above” Call of Duty: Ghosts.
CEO Eric Hirshberg said in an earnings call that Call of Duty isn’t “immune” from a dropoff in pre-
“However, within that context, we still expect for Call of Duty to lead the industry in pre-orders once again this year,” he said, according to GameSpot. “We look to other metrics as well, and we’re seeing a lot of strength in those metrics… It’s important to note that pre-orders are just one data point that we look at in determining the momentum of a franchise like this.”
The orders for Advanced Warfare should come at no surprise as the game’s trailer was the most-viewed YouTube trailer from April to June. It features Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey.
CinemaBlend notes that Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer trailer will be released sometime in August.
“Join me, Xbox Live’s Aceybongos, and the creators of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for the world broadcast premiere of the next generation of Call of Duty multiplayer during a special live event streamed on Xbox Live,” said Microsoft’s Larry Hryb via his blog.
Sledgehammer Games said it will show the game’s multiplayer during a live event before Gamescom, which is coming this month.
“Our multiplayer has what I’m going to call the biggest set of new, as you call it, cool gear that you’ve seen in a long time,” said Sledgehammer Games’ Michael Condrey this year. “It’s a big step forward, from three years in development we’ve been able to innovate across the game. Everything you saw today… just imagine what that’s going to mean for multiplayer.”


MEXICO CITY -- After suffering two semifinal eliminations in the past two seasons, Club America will play a Liga MX final after defeating Necaxa 2-0 on Sunday.
Since Las Aguilas are on their way to Japan to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup, the second leg of the final against Tigres will take place on Christmas day, with the first happening on Dec. 22.
Here are three takes from Estadio Azteca:
1. La Volpe's tactical moves made the difference
Before the 58th minute, the duel between America and Necaxa was pretty even. However, it was Necaxa who looked most likely to score a goal.
The game was rather flat with both teams being extra cautious. At times, it appeared that Necaxa had the upper-hand, while America was having a hard time creating scoring options for striker Silvio Romero.
But everything changed once Osvaldo Martinez and Michael Arroyo took the field, replacing Romero and Darwin Quintero. With the inclusions of Martinez and Arroyo, Oribe Peralta was moved further up the pitch to areas of the field where he's more comfortable and dangerous.
Once the changes were put into effect, America's attack became more solid. William da Silva was able to move to the left after playing most of the game in the center, while winger Renato Ibarra felt more liberated with Martinez as the team's defensive midfielder.
It was Ibarra who sent William a precise pass to open up the scoring in the 73rd minute and, 10 minutes later, Peralta appeared inside the box with no marker near him to finish the series off with his second playoff goal.
Undoubtedly, keeper Moises Munoz's saves were fundamental in America getting a 2-0 win over a valiant Necaxa side, but it was head coach Ricardo Antonio La Volpe's careful tactical decisions that helped Las Aguilas get the win on Sunday night.
2. William is key to America's league title hopes
Since signing for America early on in 2016, William immediately expressed his admiration for Las Aguilas. It was love at first sight.
Former coach Ignacio Ambriz saw in William a player who had all the tools to make an impact at Mexico's most successful club.
However, William hardly showcased his grandeur under Ambriz's watch -- the 30-year-old's best days as an America midfielder have come with La Volpe leading the team from the sidelines.
Back in September when La Volpe was presented as America's head coach, the Argentine pointed out that he didn't like William as a defensive midfielder; he saw him more as an avid left-footed midfielder, who had an impressive outside the box shot.
But a lot has changed since September, and in the Liguilla, William has started all of America's games as a defensive midfielder, but as the matches progress, he has been a player that has played in various positions depending on the team's needs.
If the team needs to defend more, as was the case in the first leg of the quarterfinal series against Chivas, William does it. If the team needs to attack more, as was the case against Necaxa in the second leg of the series, he will also perform well.
He's become La Volpe's talisman. The last America player to score three goals in one Liguilla edition was Benfica forward, Raul Jimenez, in the 2014 Clausura. In Japan, William will hope to continue his great form with Las Aguilas and help the team finish among the top three in the tournament, but what has all of the Americanistas excited is the possibility of seeing their club lift its 13th league title.

- ESPN FC Mexico (@ESPNFCtri) December 5, 2016
3. Necaxa's elimination shouldn't tarnish season
There were a lot of sad faces among the Necaxa crowd after the match. After eliminating Pachuca in the quarterfinals, knocking out America in the semifinals didn't appear like a far-fetched idea.
At the end of it all, Necaxa's attack was easily broken down by America's defense, of which has only conceded twice in the Liguilla. The team's superstar, Edson Puch, had to come all the way to the midfield to receive the ball and attempt to create danger, but once he neared the final third, two or three America defenders were ready to stop him.
In the offseason, Los Rayos must retain the same XI and reinforce the squad with another forward who could help Puch up front. If Puch is being covered by two or three men, there must be another talented forward ready to take advantage of the spaces the defenders will leave because of their intense attention on Puch.
Necaxistas should not worry about their team getting relegated next season. In the 2016 Apertura, the team coached by Mexican Alfonso Sosa proved with results that they are a team that will be competing for Liga MX's top places next season.


STEVE VAN BUREN, the slashing Hall of Fame running back who led the Eagles to their first two NFL championships in the late 1940s, died Thursday from pneumonia in Lancaster, Pa. He was 91.
Considered by many the greatest Eagles player of all time, Van Buren took an unlikely path to pro football from a small Caribbean island off Honduras to revolutionize the position of running back in the era after World War II.
The Louisiana State University graduate scored the only touchdown in the fabled "Blizzard Bowl" NFL title game of 1948, when the Birds beat the Chicago Cardinals for the first of their only three championships. The following year, he rushed for 196 yards to lead the Eagles to their second championship, over the Los Angeles Rams in a California monsoon.
"On the field and off, as a player, a leader and a man, Steve Van Buren embodied the finest characteristics of our city and our sport," said Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie. "He was a friend and an inspiration to generations of fans, and the model of what an Eagle should be."
Van Buren, survived by three of his daughters and his brother, former Eagle Ebert Van Buren, had lived in a nursing home outside of Lancaster in recent years. Several years ago, he was admitted into the NFL's 88 Plan for ex-players coping with dementia, which may have been caused by the many hits he took over his 8-year career.
When Van Buren arrived in Philadelphia in 1944 as a first-round draft pick from LSU, the team had never finished above fourth place in its history. In short order, the running back was the key factor in leading the Eagles to three straight division titles and the back-to-back NFL championships in 1948 and 1949.
Nicknamed "Wham-Bam" for his quick and punishing running style, he captured the NFL rushing title four times and retired in 1952 as the league's all-time rusher unto that time, with 5,860 yards and 77 TDs. five-time All-Pro, he was selected to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team in 1994, and was the first Eagles player elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He remained in the Philadelphia area after his retirement, living a quiet, low-key lifestyle despite continuing to hold a number of all-time team records. Van Buren lived long enough to see several of his records eclipsed in the 2011 season by running back LeSean McCoy.
In a meeting with a Daily News reporter in January of this year in his nursing home room, where the NFL Network was on the TV in the background, Van Buren had a firm handshake and occasionally lapsed into the Spanish of his early childhood as he fondly recalled some of ex-teammates. He told relatives that his favorite current Eagle was Michael Vick, perhaps because the quarterback's slashing style reminded him of his own bruising style.
"Watch those old films and you know that Steve Van Buren was something special," said head coach Andy Reid. "He was special in person, too, humble about his own accomplishments and encouraging to others. His memory will be with Eagles fans for as long as this team takes the field."
"Steve Van Buren is one of the all-time Eagles," said Eagles president Don Smolenski. "He made his mark on the field, in the city of Philadelphia, and in the record books of the NFL. We honor the passing of one of our great ones."
Under legendary head coach Greasy Neale, Philadelphia finished the 1948 regular season with a 9-2-1 record and took on the Cardinals in the championship game with a foot of snow covering Shibe Park. Van Buren scored the game's only touchdown on a 5-yard run, while the defense limited the Cards to just 6 total first downs.
Ironically, Van Buren nearly missed the game - going back to sleep when he looked outside his home in suburban Penfield and thinking the game would be postponed. Awakened by a frantic call from Coach Neale and now snowed in, the NFL star hopped a trolley and then two subways to Shibe Park, walking the last mile to arrive just before kickoff.
The Eagles continued their dominance in 1949 with an 11-1 record in the regular season and a victory over the Rams in the championship game on a rain-soaked Los Angeles Coliseum field. Van Buren again led the Eagles as he rumbled for 196 yards on 31 carries.
The Eagles of that era were lovingly called "the duffel-bag dynasty" and adopted by the city's working-class fan base. Players like Hall of Fame end Pete Pihos, quarterback Tommy Thompson and young Chuck Bednarik were a "Greatest Generation," who had served in World War II and returned home trying again to settle into a regular life.

Planetary scientists have their heads in the clouds. And I mean that in a good way—scientists are identifying Martian clouds to better understand the Red Planet’s atmosphere. But with over 15 years of data to sort through, NASA needs some help from volunteers.
As explained by scientist Marek Slipski (via Wired), the Martian atmosphere is surprisingly cloudy. Some of the planet’s clouds are full of icy-cold H2O, while others contain even colder CO2 (dry ice). Studying these clouds could teach us more about weather patterns and seasons on Mars, or even explain the absence of water from the Martian surface.
An instrument called the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) has collected atmospheric data on Mars since 2007. But this raw data is a little too complicated for algorithms, which is why NASA scientists have opened a Cloudspotting on Mars campaign. Essentially, volunteers will look at visual representations of Martian data to identify mesospheric clouds.
This visualized data isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s a bunch of white splotches on a black background. Large arcs of blue or white indicate a possible cloud, and NASA wants volunteers to highlight these arcs by hand.
There’s about four months of data in the Cloudspotting on Mars project. Volunteers will look at four photos for every dataset, each with varying contrast and color to help any clouds stand out. And to curb human error, each dataset needs to be verified by 20 volunteers before it’s accepted by NASA.
Once NASA has a bunch of crowdsourced data, it will try to build an algorithm that automatically identifies clouds in these datasets. Going the whole way by hand would take decades, according to Marek Slipski.
If you want to help NASA find Martian clouds, go sign up for the Cloudspotting on Mars project. It’s hosted on Zooniverse, a platform dedicated to crowdsourced projects.

Your skin may have been supple and smooth when you were young because of natural resilience and an abundance of collagen and elastin stored in your body, but with advanced age, this changes. When you get older, your skin loses elasticity and firmness as these natural vitamins begin to diminish, which causes noticeable signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles on the face. At Novo Med Spa in Frisco, our cosmetic team performs a number of cosmetic and medical dermatological services, including Belotero Balance dermal filler.

Under a hundred to treat with a laser. No pain, done in one treatment plus all the other areas on my nose included! Self esteem restored! I LOVE THIS PLACE! So why would a regular guy go to a med spa? I was looking for a place close and reasonable that offered Gainswave for ED. gainswave.com Tired of pill therapy and the headaches and side effects. I did my research and gave it a try. Used care credit to be affordable and am very pleased with the results for a 68 yr old guy. Not quite like High School daze. But damn close. Very professional! Even though it is staffed with women I never felt embarrassed or awkward. My daughters are both doctors so I just feel better taken care of than with a guy doctor. No offense to the male doctors, meant. I just had a weird experience with a male dr when I was younger that made me go eww and scared me. Which is why I prefer a female dr. pa or rn. So guys behave or your kicked out immediately!! As you should be!! The results from the procedure was well worth it!!"- S.W. / Yelp / Jul 15, 2019
Belotero Balance treatments are fantastic if you hope to correct the look of moderate to severe facial folds, lines, and wrinkles without opting for a surgical procedure, like a facelift. Belotero is especially great for addressing lines around the mouth, like the nasolabial folds and can be used to improve the area under the eyes to eliminate tear troughs lines. Before your treatment, we will consult with you to discuss your current medications, known allergies, and medical history to determine if you are an ideal candidate for Belotero.
At the end of your consultation, you will be taken to our treatment area to receive your Belotero injection. Belotero is administered via a fine-gauge needle so most patients do not require topical or local anesthesia, but it can be requested during your consultation for greater comfort. The treatment sites will be marked and prepared before the product is administered in several, fast applications. We will apply pressure after each injection for a few minutes to stop any minor bleeding, but then you are free to leave and resume your normal activities.
What to Expect
After your Belotero treatment at Novo Med Spa, you may have some mild bruising, swelling, and redness near the injection sites — this will fade naturally over the next week. You will notice some results right after your treatment that will continue to develop over the next two weeks. The results of Belotero usually last about six months so talk to our team about how to maximize your results with repeat sessions.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - It's been almost three years since Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish unveiled a series of bail reforms designed to make the justice system more fair and less costly.
Since then these three things have happened:
- The Pretrial Justice Institute in Washington, D.C.,
- The Cuyahoga County Bail Task Force
- And most recently, county officials created the
But as far as putting any actual reforms into action, little has been accomplished and there is no timetable for getting things done.
To be fair, it's not a simple process. Bail reform means getting 34 common pleas judges and 30 more judges in 13 municipal courts on the same page, along with court administrators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, police and various pretrial and probation service providers.
There also are the questions of funding and technical support that need to be worked out.
"The process is complicated," said Shaker Heights Municipal Judge K.J. Montgomery. "We're not building a new house. We're remodeling an old house."
What is the next step?
The executive committee of the newly formed Criminal Justice Council will meet Sept. 21 to set an agenda for the council's first full meeting in October.
The executive committee also will determine which bail reform recommendations should be priorities, said John J. Russo, presiding and administrative judge for Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. Those priorities that meet the council's approval will be turned over to a task force to see if they can be implemented.
Russo emphasizes that the council has no authority to force courts or judges to do anything.
What are the task force recommendations?
There are several:
- All bail hearings to be held within 48 hours of arrest.
- Judges should evaluate defendants with the help of a risk assessment that predicts the likelihood of a suspect failing to appear in court or committing a crime if released.
- Pretrial services should be extended beyond the Common Pleas Court and into the county's 13 municipal courts. Those services include supervision of defendants, electronic monitoring and treatment for substance abuse. The rationale is that judges with such resources at their disposal are more likely to release a suspect without requiring them to post a bond that in many cases the defendant cannot afford.
- A central location should be established for conducting all municipal court bail hearings to provide greater consistency and efficiency. Defendants could connect to the court
- The municipal courts and Common Pleas Court should develop a system for collecting data so that bail reforms can be evaluated for their effectiveness.
- A regional coordinator should be appointed to oversee pretrial and bail reforms
- All Common Pleas and municipal court judges should receive training on best practices for bail and pretrial release.
What recommendations have the highest priority?
Russo expects the Pretrial Justice Institute will provide training to all judges in the county on the use of risk assessments to assist with setting bail.
He expects that training will occur in November. Cleveland Municipal Court judges already uses a risk assessment developed by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation.
But the judge declined to further discuss what he thinks the executive committee will recommend.
Have there been any reforms to date?
Substantive changes have occurred in Cleveland Municipal Court, where judges now release non-violent offenders without bail and are using an evidence-based method (the Arnold Foundation tool) to evaluate higher-risk defendants to see if they can safely be released.
The Municipal Court also is hiring up to ten people to run a pretrial services department that will supervise released misdemeanor defendants and rely on Oriana House for the necessary monitoring equipment and services.
The extra resources will give judges more flexibility when making bail decisions and allow for more defendants to be released pending trial.
For example, someone who might remain in jail on a high bond might be released on their signature if the judge can impose a schedule of monitoring, treatment or supervision.
The city of Cleveland provided $250,000 to fund the pretrial services department through the end of the year, said Michelle Earley, presiding and administrative judge for the Cleveland Municipal Court. The court will track the number of defendants who fail to appear in court or commit crimes while on release, as well as the amount of time defendants spent in jail compared to before pretrial services were offered. This will help determine the effectiveness of the bail reforms.
Will Cleveland Municipal Court extend pretrial services to felony defendants?
No. At least not now.
Cleveland Municipal judges will set bond for felony defendants before they are transferred to Common Pleas Court, but those defendants, unlike those charged with misdemeanors, will not be eligible to receive pretrial services from the municipal court.
"Our period of time with the felony defendants is very small," Earley said, after which they are under the jurisdiction of the county.
After the defendants are turned over to Common Pleas Court, they will be placed on a "first appearance docket," which was recently created so that the defendants can have their bond reviewed more quickly and to make sure they have an attorney. At this point, a judge may utilize the pretrial services provided by the Court of Common Pleas to place defendants on supervision or into a treatment program of some kind.
Should pretrial services be extended to felony defendants appearing in all 13 of the county's municipal courts?
That's the recommendation of the Cuyahoga County Bail Task Force, but when that might happen is anybody's guess. If municipal court judges have pretrial services at their disposal, they might be able to release more felony defendants on signature bonds that do not require any money to be posted. Otherwise, defendants transferred to Common Pleas Court from a municipal court may wait days in jail before they appear before a Common Pleas judge to have their bail reviewed or an attorney appointed.
Parma Municipal Court Judge Ken Spanagel believes the county should step forward immediately to extend pretrial services to felony defendants in the municipal courts to maximize the benefits of bail reform.
Russo agrees with Spanagel that pretrial services made available soon after arrest would be positive step, but he's not prepared to put a timetable on when that should occur.
The funding would have to be worked out, Russo said, and it's not clear where the money might come from. Russo has previously pointed the finger at Budish because he controls the county purse-strings, but he said municipalities could also be called on to foot the bill.
Budish has said he likes the concept, but that he’s waiting to hear from the Criminal Justice Council before making any commitments.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin kicks off an East Coast bus tour Sunday, fueling speculation that she will run for the Republican presidential nomination. Advisers for the 2008 vice-presidential candidate declined to provide details of the tour, which will start in Washington and head north, The Washington Post
“Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a one-nation tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival and growth of the United States of America,” according to a statement from her political action committee. The announcement comes amidst two other possible indications of a presidential run, the Post reported.
Palin has bought a $1.7 million home in Scottsdale, Ariz., that political observers say could serve as a base for a national run. In addition, a documentary charting her political rise in Alaska is set to debut in Iowa next month, with other showings also planned for New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina — all states that figure in the early goings for the 2012 election.
Many Republican strategists have gone on the theory that Palin would not seek the presidency in 2012.
However, a Gallup survey released today
showed that Palin runs second only to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a narrowed field of potential rivals for the GOP nod. And her second-place showing was close: She garnered 15 percent support to Romney's 17 percent.
The Gallup survey was the organization's first since Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and real estate mogul Donald Trump opted out of the slowly evolving primary race.

Ford Focus: Common Problems and Solutions
The Ford Focus is the leading small family car in the UK and is known for its good handling and also for being a great ride. However, they are also have a reputation amongst their owners for reliability issues, poor running costs and build quality problems. Read our full review on this car by clicking here
Below is a list of the most common problems and their solutions. We have broken them down into two sections, the 1998-2004 models and the 2004-11 models. The newer models after 2011 may share some of these issues. It is worthwhile checking through to see if a problem is covered by a known fault in previous models. Most of the problems listed below were subject to recalls but overall, non-recall problems are not too difficult, or expensive to fix. The Focus is a well built car and that is why they have been so popular with the UK public and other European countries.
When you search through this list of commonly associated problems and find the problem you are facing with your vehicle, that's where we can help. We will help you find the replacement part you are looking for at very reasonable prices. You can enter your vehicle details in our part finder or you can also call us on *0905 232 3000. to begin your search.
Ford Focus problems
In this section, you’ll find information about the most common problems for the Ford Focus models: the 1998 – 2004 Ford Focus and the 04 – 2011 Focus. If we don’t mention a problem you’ve come across, then it doesn't mean its not a common problem. This list is by no means comprehensive.
Common Problems and solutions for 1998-2004 Ford Focus
Image Source: www.streettuned.com.au
Problem: The Focus built between 1998 and 1999 have been known to suffer with alternator problems short circuiting, or overheating. This was usually caused by a faulty harness which caused the cable to come loose.
Solution: This was a manufacturer's fault which was part of a recall by Ford. If it is too late for the recall, then you may need to replace the harness and get a new wire. Worst case scenario would mean replacing the whole alternator unit.
Door latch problem
Problem: Some Focus's built between September and November 1998 could have door latch problems due to a small plastic piece being faulty, this meant the door wouldn't close properly.
Solution: This was subject to a recall by Ford and should be fixed on your car.
Oil filler cap problem
Problem: A lot of the Focuses built from March 1998 onwards had oil filler cap problems which became loose causing a leak of oil onto the exhaust heat shield.
Solution: This was also subject to a recall by Ford in 2000.
Brake hose problems
Problem: The Focus RS built in December 2002 was known to have brake hose problems which rubbed against the inside of the rear wheel arch. This was Ford's responsibility to fix, so make sure they sort it out.
Solution: As mentioned above, this was a manufacturing fault and was subject to a recall by Ford.
Problem: The Focus built in March 1999 had recurring problems with the restraint system and airbags. The front and side airbags were known to deploy incorrectly and the seatbelt pre-tensioners were faulty due to a control module problem.
Solution: This problem was also subject to a recall by Ford in 2000. This should no longer be a problem on this car.
There was quite a few different recalls for the Focus of this generation. We have a list of some of these recalls below which is taken from the Department of transport recalls database, but for a more comprehensive list visit the vosa.gov.uk website to check them out. You should not come across these problems on your car as Ford should have fixed them when the recall occurred.
Common Problems and solutions for 2004-11 Ford Focus
Image Source: www.carpages.co.uk
Wiper motor problem
Problem: Cars built between April 2003 and March 2005 had known issues with the wiper motors. Water could enter the motor through the wiper arm which could cause short-circuiting and overheating on the motor, also melting nearby trim.
Solution: This was a manufacturing fault and should have been recalled in 2005.
Fuel pipe leak
Problem: Any Focus built from July 2004 to February 2005 could potentially have problems with leaks in the fuel return pipe. These pipes were built from degradable materials which eventually would allow fuel to leak out.
Solution: Again this was another manufacturing fault which was subject to a recall in 2005.
Problem: Any second generation Focus has the potential to have water leaking into the cabin due to faulty seals on the windows or sunroofs. Check for wet patches inside and check the seals before buying.
Solution: If this is a problem on your Focus then you need to replace the affected seal to resolve the issue.
Power steering problems
Problem: Focuses built from April to May 2008 could have power steering faults. The hoses on the power steering system were not built to specified standards which would degrade over time. This meant that the power steering failed and resorted back to standard steering.
Solution: To fix this problem you will have to fit the new revised hoses to your vehicle.
As mentioned in the above recalls list for the 1998-2004 Focus, this list is taken from the Department of Transport recalls database, and you can check this out to see the rest of the recalls for this generation.
The above problems are only some of the issues raised from the Ford Focus. .

it was ealry saturday 10/6. we got a call from a man wanting to buy our old gibson. we went up river 8 miles to bring it down to take it out and winterize it for him before he came down with the money. it was absolutley beautiful out, the river was calm, the trees were changing color.
we made it down to the only lock on the muskingum we had to go through. they had the doors open for me and we slid right it. we chatted with the lock master while he lowered us to lower pool level.he opened the door and we slid out at a idle. we stayed between the channel markers and into the river. then....... crunch and we stopped. we hit something submerged at a idle and it killed the starboard engine. i restarted it and put it in geer....nothing.... i raised the engine hatch to find a foot of water and rising.the bilge pump was running at full throttle. i looked again and my starboard prop shaft was gone and water was pouring in. i told my wife " this is not a drill were sinking".i grabbed some rags and plugged the hole. the water was lowering . i thought we were ok since we still had 5 miles to go....but ohhhhhh no. the rudder had also hit and put a 4 inch crack in the hull where water was also pouring into. well i couldnt plug that hole but the bilge pump was now keeping up.
i made a frantic call to the man that pulls us out every year and found him at home. he thought i was kidding when i told him i was sinking. after several minutes i convinced him i wasnt kidding he said to go slow and he would meet me at the ramp. with the rudder bent back it was very difficult to steer at best but we made it to the ramp. the wind was blowing up river at 15 mph and we had one motor and part of a rudder but some how we got it loaded. we have a growling in the tranny on the port side,the starboard prop and shaft gone,the starboard rudder bent and a crack in the hull on the starboard side. now i have to find someone to fix it. ....but.....we didnt sink. it was a good day,by the way....my wife will never go up river again.......lol

Transport company Arriva has lost its bid to run a new rail franchise.
Arriva has been running part of the new franchise area
The firm is not on a shortlist for the new Northern Rail franchise, announced by the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) on Thursday.
As Arriva Trains Northern, the company had been running part of the area.
But for the shortlist, the SRA chose Serc/Ned Railways and FirstGroup, which
has been running First North Western services, which will now be incorporated into the new franchise.
The new contract could be as long as eight years, with the
last two years dependent on achieving performance targets. It will begin in autumn 2004.
The franchise will include rural and urban services throughout the whole
of the North of England, including in and around the Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive (PTE) areas.
It will also be responsible for a number of services running from, and into,
the Merseyside PTE area.
The SRA's operations managing director Nicola Shaw said: "The Northern Rail franchise will be one of the first of a new generation of customer-focused
operations, designed to deliver for passengers.
"We have selected two strong contenders and the competition will continue to

Existing-home sales slowed again in July as the median sales price settled above $400,000 for the fourth time on record, the National Association of REALTORS® announced.
Specifically, the median existing-home price for all housing types in July was $406,700, down from $410,000 in June but up 1.9% from $399,000 in July 2022.
Existing-home sales slid 2.2% from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.07 million. Year-over-year, sales were down 16.6% from 4.88 million in July 2022.
“Two factors are driving current sales activity — inventory availability and mortgage rates,” NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said in a press release. “Unfortunately, both have been unfavorable to buyers.”
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.09% as of Aug. 17, up from 6.96% a week before and 5.13% a year earlier, according to Freddie Mac.
Total housing inventory at the end of July was 1.11 million units, up 3.7% from June but down 14.6% on a year-over-year basis. At the current sales pace, unsold inventory represented a 3.3-month supply, up from 3.1 months in June and 3.2 months in July 2022.
Properties typically remained on the market for 20 days in July, up from 18 in June and 14 in July 2022. Seventy-four percent of homes sold in July were on the market for less than a month.
By property type, single-family home sales in July slid 1.9% month over month to 3.65 million. The median existing single-family home price was $412,300, up 1.6% on a year-over-year basis.
Existing condominium and co-op sales decreased 4.5% month over month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 420,000 units in July, which was 19.2% lower than the July 2022 rate. The median existing condo price was $357,600, up 4.5% from the year-ago price of $342,200.

|VARIETY||Grenache – Syrah|
The vineyards of the red Côtes du Rhône “Belleruche” covers 4 departments (Drôme, Vaucluse, Gard and Ardèche) on different soils (clay and calcareous alluvial deposit terraces, clay…) giving to the “Belleruche”
an extraordinary richness and complexity.
The grapes are entirely destemmed. Vatting lasts around 15 days and provides a great tannic structure. This allows ageing and guarantees a good stability.

NBC special looks at experimental windpipe transplant performed at Children's Hospital
PEORIA — Children’s Hospital of Illinois features in “A Leap of Faith,” Meredith Vieira’s NBC special Friday on the ground-breaking but controversial work of the surgeon who performed the country’s first bio-engineered transplant on a child in Peoria last year.
Vieira and her crew followed Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, an international expert on regenerative medicine, as he and a team of local doctors prepared for and performed the complex, experimental surgery on 2-year-old Hannah Warren, a Korean girl born without a windpipe.
The surgery used Hannah’s stem cells to generate her own transplant organ, a procedure that could potentially eliminate the need for organ donations.
The hospital received inquiries from people with thoracic problems from around the world after media stories about Hannah’s pioneering transplant, said Dr. Mark Holterman, a pediatric surgeon at Children’s Hospital, based at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center.
St. Francis and other institutions, including academic research centers, are exploring ways to expand Macchiarini’s work in the United States. “Bringing these services to Illinois will require solid infrastructure and financial and community support,” Holterman said by email.
NBC producers “spent quite a bit of time with us,” said Shelli Dankoff, spokeswoman for OSF St. Francis Medical Center, where Children’s Hospital is based.
Vieira interviewed Holterman, whose chance meeting with Hannah’s parents in Seoul led to the complicated 11-hour surgery being performed in Peoria. She also interviewed Dr. Rick Pearl, chief surgeon of Children’s Hospital.
The crew filmed the surgery and the bio-engineering process used to grow the trachea transplant organ.
The two-hour special highlights the stories of three patients: a single dad in Baltimore, a former Russian dancer and Hannah, who died in July 2013, a month before her third birthday. Cause of death was not the transplant, but complications from the surgery, St. Francis officials said at the time. The surgery occurred in April 2013.
Unable to eat, drink, or swallow on her own, Hannah spent much of her life in the neo-natal intensive care unit of a Korean hospital. She breathed through a tube inserted into her esophagus. After the surgery, she was able to eat for the first time.
The program airs locally at 7 p.m. Friday on WEEK-TV.

UMINGAN—If Villasis has its Talong Festival and Dagupan is known for its Bangus Festival, this agricultural town celebrated this month its Kalabasa Festival to promote the local farmers’ produce and to boost the economy.
Mayor Michael Cruz said farmers had a good harvest again this year and were thankful that there was no pest infestation in their farms.
“Our squash is different because it is sticky and sweet so when we tasted it, we agreed to push it through a festival,” Cruz said.
They celebrated the Kalabasa Festival middle of April highlighted by streetdancing and a feature on “101 Ways to Cook Kalabasa”.
Cruz said there are 20 barangays producing three varieties of squash: supreme, native and soledad.
“It’s delicious and we all know that squash is good for the eyes,” he said.
Women groups produce products made of squash like noodles.
Meanwhile, Abono partylist Rep. Conrado Estrella III who was among the guests during the festival, said gone are days when kalabasa given as an award with negative connotation.
“Now you have your Kalabasa Festival and the people are so happy,” he said.
Estrella was joined by Senator Cynthia Villar and Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos during the Kalabasa Festival program. (Eva Visperas)

LANSING (AP) — A Michigan lawmaker says he wants to crack down on bullying and cyber bullying by making them a crime that could lead to jail time.
Under a bill recently introduced by Rep. Dale Zorn, bullying and cyber bullying would be punishable by up to 93 days in jail or a fine of up to $1,000, or both. The bill would also let the court call for a mental health evaluation of someone convicted of bullying.
The Republican from Ida says in a statement that the bill will allow professional mental health evaluations to determine if professional help or treatment is needed. He says the bill “is intended to rehabilitate — allowing for the court to expunge the charges after treatment.”

The summer is quickly coming to an end and the holidays are over. The schools and the academic year for the university have started again, people are back at work and that means the streets are returning to their normal busy state as well. In a lot of cities in The Netherlands that means busy with people cycling.
After the recent posts about bridges, before-and-afters, town and street redesigns, it is again time to look at the people all that is for. So I went to the east entrance of the historic city centre of Utrecht. I positioned myself in front of the city’s theatre, at the east-west corridor leading from the Central Station to the university.
It was around 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. That means school children under the age of 12 have the afternoon off. Because it is September, the students had just begun riding to and from the university again. I filmed for about 20 minutes how wave after wave of cyclists passed me by to get into the city centre. The people come in groups because they are held up by a traffic light that gives priority to buses, rather than people cycling, and this east-west corridor in the city centre is teeming with buses!
I kept the original sound because it is telling what the city sounds like when private cars are not the dominant form of transport.
Video showing people cycling into the city centre of Utrecht.
As you could see this is very lively street and yet it so quiet and relaxed. But of course it hasn’t always been like that at this particular location. I know this area of the city very well. I went to secondary school here for 4 years, from 1977 to 1981. At that time the street was a dual-lane one-way street that was part of the city centre gyratory. There was no cycling infrastructure (apart from a painted on-street lane, but that doesn’t qualify as real cycling infrastructure in my book) and traffic could only use this street outbound. Pictures that I found in the Utrecht Archive show that the street had been a traditional street until the 1950s when it was made into that one-way gyratory. The 1990s picture shows that by then the street did have separated cycle tracks.
It was only after the separated bus lanes were implemented (in the beginning of the 21st century) that the street got its current layout. The street is now a two-way bus street. Private cars are allowed to use the street, but only outbound. The street has separated cycle tracks on either side. In front of the city theatre the street is much wider and that extra space is all used to make the cycle track a lot wider there. It may be used by traffic that needs to go to the theatre. So during the day that means delivery trucks sometimes drive there and when there is a red-carpet event I expect the limos will use it as well. But that is only occasionally. There is no parking here, so people going to visit the theatre for a play will not use it. For theatre goers there is a parking garage at walking distance.
The corner where I stood was once a busy corner where it was hard to cross as a pedestrian. In the 1950s the city experimented with a novel design for the zebra crossing. A central triangular traffic island was created that had zebra crossings on all three sides. But motor traffic can no longer turn here. To calm traffic in that other street, turning into it has been made impossible. So at the location of the dangerous crossing there now is a rack to park bicycles.
It is clear once again that these streets didn’t become what they are today by accident. Deliberate choices have been made in The Netherlands to make the streets – especially those in the city centres – more for people than for through traffic. It changes the look and feel of the city so much that people from other countries have a hard time to see that their streets could be designed like this as well. That is why I keep showing those old images. The Netherlands is different now, but it hasn’t always been so different. That means change is possible, elsewhere, the same way as it was in this country.

In a semifinal clash between the No. 5 seeded Saint Mary’s High School Rams and the No. 1 seeded Jesuit High School Sacramento Marauders, the top seed was knocked out of the Division II Sac-Joaquin Section Playoffs with a 42-48 loss on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
The end of winter and the beginning of spring is possibly the busiest time for the Athletic Department at Jesuit High School Sacramento. As winter sports are entering the playoff season,the nine spring sports are all starting up, including the lacrosse team, one of the most competitive sports in the area.
While Jesuit High School Sacramento has claimed many section titles throughout their athletics, its volleyball team is still searching for their first Section Championship.
Jesuit High School Sacramento showed why it’s the No. 1 seed in the Division II Sac-Joaquin Section Playoffs when the Marauders handily beat the Ponderosa High School Bruins in the second round of playoffs on Friday, Feb. 21.
While many of the clubs at Jesuit High School are based on common interests like video games and music, the Seek Discomfort club defies the normal definition of “club.”
Jesuit High School Sacramento students entered the Fr. Barry Gymnasium last fall to find one major change: air conditioning. This was one renovation in a $2.8 million project that will continue and conclude this summer.
Trench warfare is a hellish nightmare, and Sam Mendes’ film “1917” captures that terror and anxiety with its harrowing long takes and immersive set design. Yet, where visuals and sound prevail, the story declines.
After winning 8 of its last 11 games, the Jesuit High School Sacramento basketball team is on a roll entering the Division II Sac-Joaquin Section Playoffs as the No. 1 seed.
At Jesuit High School Sacramento, it’s an annual tradition to spend a week examining a social justice issue such as mental health or criminal justice. In last week’s Social Justice Summit, students heard a variety of discussions that addressed the realities of economic justice or injustice.
Rowing is one of the oldest collegiate sports and has been a part of almost every Olympic Games. The first American regatta, or rowing race, took place in 1762 and now crew athletes compete in races held all over the country.
On Wednesday, Feb. 5, 26 Jesuit High School Sacramento student-athletes signed athletic letters of intent to play at the collegiate level in the Fr. Barry Gymnasium.
Being one of the best wrestlers at Jesuit High School Sacramento, Clark Parry ’21 has tousled with the best. Placing first in his most recent tournament, it seems like nobody can take him down.
ELK GROVE — When a member of the Sheldon High School basketball team steals the ball from an opponent, it usually results in one outcome: a highlight-reel dunk on the other end, sometimes over a helpless defender.
In a game featuring the Sac-Joaquin Section’s best two teams, fans should be excited as Jesuit High School Sacramento battles the Sheldon High School Huskies this Saturday, Feb. 1.
What is cheating? Cheating could be a lot of different things. Cheating in a relationship, on a test, or in a game. Any form of cheating is wrong, but is in human nature to cheat?
According to a study by Caveon, 80% of “high-achieving” high school students admit to cheating. If almost everyone is cheating, then what’s the big deal?
The Blood Drive is Jesuit High School’s annual tradition of giving blood. This life-saving practice has been at Jesuit for more than 20 years, and its most recent entry was last Thursday, Jan. 16.
This year, Jesuit collectively donated 46 pints of blood. This number is lower than previous years, with last year’s Blood Drive collecting 70 pints of blood.
Looking to keep a perfect Delta League record, the Jesuit High School Marauders came up short in a 70-59 loss to the Franklin High School Wildcats on Wednesday.
The result marks Franklin’s second straight Delta League win as the team defeated Pleasant Grove High School last Friday.
After being down 8 points at halftime, Franklin outscored Jesuit 45-26 in the second half.
On the afternoon of Jan. 15, the Jesuit High School Marauders will battle the Davis High School Blue Devils at Playfields Park in Davis.
The Marauders look to continue their success after amassing a perfect league record with wins over Elk Grove High School, Sheldon High School, and Cosumnes Oak High School.
Davis has also started the season well, holding a 6-2-1 overall record. Aware of the looming threat that the Blue Devils will present, defender Michael Roush ’21 notes that a favorable outcome will rely on the team full effort.

Just look at those starving and suffering poor crippled souls who are so impoverished that they had to leave their families, girlfriends, wives, children, parents and grandparents behind to fight and die for the countries they escaped from.
Via Executive Order, President Trump suspended immigration from 7 countries that support violent jihad: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria & Yemen. There are 50 muslim-majority countries (Pew Research Center, 2010) so…
86% of all muslim-majority countries are NOT affected by the immigration suspension.
For those who think this edict is outrageous, un-Constitutional and unprecedented, please read Article 1. Read the rest of the U.S. Constitution while you’re at it, including the Amendments. Sure beats watching “The View” for American history and practical math.

She replied, “Kansas.”
