Author: Jon M. Conrad, Cornell University, New York
Resource Economics is a text for students with a background in calculus and intermediate microeconomics and a familiarity with the spreadsheet software Excel. The book covers basic concepts (Chapter 1), shows how to set up spreadsheets to solve simple dynamic allocation problems (Chapter 2), and presents economic models for fisheries, forestry, nonrenewable resources, and stock pollutants (Chapters 3–6). Chapter 7 examines the maximin utility criterion when the utility of a generation depends on consumption of a manufactured good, harvest from a renewable resource, and extraction from a nonrenewable resource. Within the text, numerical examples are posed and solved using Excel's Solver. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter. These problems help make concepts operational, develop economic intuition, and serve as a bridge to the study of real-world problems in resource management.
The only textbook for one-semester course on resource economics, upper-level undergraduate and above
Provides extensive use of numerical problems to illustrate theory and methods of dynamic allocation in resource economics
Contains exercises and an annotated bibliography
"Jon Conrad's second edition of Resource Economics is an articulate, well-organized presentation of key applications of intertemporal economics to problems of natural resources. More than a routine update of the first edition, it admirably balances theoretical rigor and clarity in the presentation of models, with the kinds of institutional discussions that motivate students to think about research questions." – Robert T. Deacon, University of California, Santa Barbara
"This book builds on the already-excellent first edition, with its unique focus on computational solution of dynamic optimization problems, by providing a richer and more detailed discussion of theoretical models of renewable, nonrenewable, and environmental resource management along with very helpful discussion of the intuition behind the models, and applications to resource problems." – Anthony Fisher, University of California, Berkeley
"Jon Conrad's Resource Economics is a unique and indeed indispensable learning resource. It teaches students to work with sophisticated mathematical models using a hands-on, intuitive approach based on the standard spreadsheet tools that are now pervasive in quantitative analysis. Conrad's book sets a standard to which other textbook authors should aspire." – Richard Howarth, Dartmouth University
"Jon Conrad's second edition of Resource Economics is an elegant mathematical treatment of the many complex management issues confronting natural resource managers. The book presents dynamic modeling and optimization in a practical context. The use of Excel throughout the book gives it a concreteness that is lost in purely theoretical texts. It is an ideal advanced text covering the economics of fisheries, forestry, nonrenewable resources, and stock pollutants." – Robert Mendelsohn, Yale University
"Resource Economics is an excellent choice for advanced undergraduates and master's students. The book's use of Excel's solver gives students an intuitive grasp of dynamic optimization without relying on advanced mathematics. Students analyze fisheries, forests, and fossil fuels as they learn spreadsheet programming skills that are valuable in other economics, business, and management courses." – Martin Smith, Duke University
"I wish there had been a textbook such as Jon Conrad's Resource Economics available when I was a young student beginning to learn about natural resource and environmental economics. This is a rigorous but highly accessible mathematical introduction to the field that brings home to the reader the fundamental common threads, as well as the differentiating factors, among nonrenewable, renewable, and environmental resource problems." – Robert N. Stavins, Harvard University

Lawmakers Reach Deal to Overhaul How Military Handles Sexual Assault Cases
"We do not comment about our communications with members of Congress," said John F. Kirby, the chief Pentagon spokesman.
"While not perfect, the agreement is far from a setback for survivors and their advocates," said Lynn Rosenthal, the chairwoman of an independent review commission that Mr. Austin appointed this year to come up with recommendations on the issue. "Instead, it represents a historic step toward justice."
General Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had long opposed the changes but acknowledged last spring that junior enlisted troops had largely lost faith that sexual assault cases would be handled fairly.
The movement gained momentum last year after the death of Vanessa Guillen, an Army specialist who law enforcement officials said was killed by another soldier at Fort Hood in Texas. The case set off a deep examination of the culture of the Army base and the broader military in which assault has remained pervasive. Years of small legislative steps have done little to stem the problem, and Ms. Gillibrand, as well as Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat of California, who had also worked on legislation for years, was often rebuffed by fellow lawmakers and Pentagon officials.
Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa and a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel, said her own experience with sexual assault informed her views on the issue, which in turn influenced other Republicans to support such efforts this year.
The new law will take two years to roll out, lawmakers said.
In 2019, the Defense Department found that there were 7,825 reports of sexual assault involving service members as victims, a 3 percent increase from 2018. The conviction rate for cases was unchanged from 2018 to 2019; 7 percent of cases that the command took action on resulted in conviction, the lowest rate since the department began reporting in 2010. An independent 2020 review found that more than 30 percent of charges of penetrative sexual offense should not have been brought to trial because of insufficient evidence.
"Though this agreement clearly does not include everything my colleagues and I pushed for," Ms. Speier said, "it is a giant leap forward for survivors of sexual assault and marks a watershed moment in the fight for justice for those failed by the current system, and the family members of those slain or who died by suicide as a result of that failure."

10 Facts About the Malegaon Blasts
Malegaon Fort. Credit: Wikimedia Commons
The following are the principal developments in the 2008 Malegaon case:
The blasts took place on 29 September 2008 near Bhikku Chowk in Malegaon, Maharashtra. Almost simultaneously, another blast occurred in Modasa, Gujarat. The blast took place on the eve of Navaratri.
7 people were killed in Malegaon, and a 15-year old boy lost his life in Modasa. A total of 80 people were injured. The blasts were similar to a blast that occurred in the New Delhi just 3 days before this.
Two low intensity bombs were fitted on a Hero Honda motorcycle and rigged to detonate in Malegaon. The motorcycle used later led the police to the accused.
Initially, the blasts were suspected to be a work of Muslim extremists. The Mumbai Anti-terror Squad was deployed to help the Malegaon police in investigation. The ATS team was led by ATS chief Hemant Karkare, who was later killed in the 26/11 attack by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba terrorists in Mumbai.
Through the motor cycle used, the ATS collected evidence which pointed to the involvement of Hindu extremist groups behind the attack. On October 24, 2008, the police arrested 3 people in connection with the blast- Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Shiv Narayan Gopal Singh Kalsanghra and Shyam Bhawarlal Sahu.
Further investigation suggested the involvement of other Hindu groups in the blast. The names of organisations such as the Rastriya Jagran Manch, Sharda Sarvagya Peeth, Hindu Rashtra Sena and Abhinav Bharat came up in the investigation and further arrests were made of people linked to these organisations.
On November 4, 2008,, the ATS arrested Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohit, a serving Army officer, for his involvement in the blast. By now the matter had taken a political turn, with the BJP and the Shiv Sena accusing the ATS of having political motives behind the arrests and accusing the Congress for using the ATS for political gains.
The ATS investigation revelaed that several of the accused may have been involved in other acts of terrorism including the Modasa blast in Gujarat, the Malegaon blast of 2006, the Mecca Masjid Blast in Hyderabad in 2007 and the 2007 Samjhauta Express blast. The prosecutors filed charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, which requires the court to have taken cognizance of two previous chargesheets against one or more of the accused.
In July 2009, the special court trying the case dropped the MCOCA charges on that ground that when the chargesheet was filed for Malegaon 2008, the cognizance of the accused was not taken in the other cases. In 2010, the Bombay High Court restored the MCOCA charges stating that cognizance is taken of a crime, not of an accused, and hence in this case since cognizance of the other crimes had already been taken, MCOCA could apply.
On April 15, 2015, the Supreme Court set aside the Bombay HC order, and dropped the MCOCA charges, stating there was hardly any evidence against the accused in the previous cases. It also asked the HC to constitute a special court to try the accused and begin the trial at the earliest.
On June 25, 2015, the Indian Express quoted the Special Public Prosecutor in the case, Rohini Salian, as saying the NIA had instructed her to "go soft" on the accused.


IMHO a proper training ship is a 4 masted square rigged schooner. Teach the middies REAL sailing. The high tech video game stuff is vital but its not seamanship.
BTW Does the SAN still have a serious ocean racing yacht?
Amen, brother. Personally I couldn't agree more, but seeing as we already have the City class vessels just lying around, I thought this a more realistic suggestion. On the other hand sailing vessels don't need (much) fuel and we know the navy have sometimes been stuck in Simon's Town for want of diesel-money, so your suggestion might not be so bad.
The navy still has a few sailing yachts: a few L26s, the three Centurion vessels (all pretty old) and a newish Fast 42 called Umoya Omusha (even though from what I can gather there must be a sponsorship deal with MTU because it sometimes pops up in races as MTU Fascination of Power... I'm standing by to be corrected on this one).
In the last Cape to Bahia race, these kids from the Cape Flats on their old navy yacht beat the navy's own team on their Fast 42.
When did Bertie Reed pass away?
Good to know old Voortrekker is still afloat.
For a coastal country we as a nation are sadly lacking in "nautical culture", in spite of our Dutch, British and Malay heritage.
Most of our languages don't even have words for many sea and ship related things - what is a schooner in Zulu and what is the Afrikaans for a mizzen mast?
The City class were all wood and non-magnetic, and not as easy to extend hull life as one would think. We are already seeing signs of hull rot on those vessels awaiting disposal.
As far as organic mine warfare is concerned, if we embark MCM on the Biro ships, it will not be to use them in a minefield, rather a a C2 platform from which to operate the AUV / Side Scan tow vessel. The drive is to keep the man out of the minefield. Few navies in the world are retaining a dedicated MCM vessel these days.
Will have more on world treand when I return from the Undersea Defence Technology exhibition and conference in Cannes next week.
Thanks Flightdeck, happy to hear any interesting news.
But the training vessel question should remain a live one. I don't know whether the SAN still has a big problem training (and retaining!) enough bridge watchkeepers - that certainly was a big problem in the past. And the junior officers of today arguably need quite a bit more time to adapt to life and work at sea anyway (as they come from parts of the country and cultures in which the sea and seafaring are very alien things). A dedicated training vessel may be the answer.
SAS Protea or a Strikecraft springs to mind. I know they are not Lindau vessels but still.
Rumour has it that all 5 City Class have been sold. Conversion to luxury yachts was metioned.
we are currently busy refitting the first one, and boy what amazing ships they are!!
Hi Baseline, welcome on board! Please expand a bit on your post.
Who is the "we" that are doing the refit and what is the nature of the refit, are they being converted to luxury "yachts" or something else?
what struck me was that even the brass washers ere machined on a lathe.yup there is as far as i can see, NO ferrous metal on board!!
Is this the one thats being refitted to become luxury craft? I was wondering why the navy was painting the ships blue.
i will also find out why this one is being made blue.
Thanks baseline, looking forward to seeing how you progress.
This is extremely exciting! Pls keep us updated. I own an ex-Navy vessel so its interesting to see what happens to the old ships once they retire.
the pics are coming soon...what an eventfull day tho.....sheesh!!


A woman angry with her live-in boyfriend grabbed his clothes, threw them in a bathtub and set them ablaze, Daytona Beach police said.
DAYTONA BEACH — A woman angry with her live-in boyfriend grabbed his clothes, threw them in a bathtub and set them ablaze, Daytona Beach police said.
And while Jessica Coyle admitted to police that she had done a "stupid thing," her admission also got her arrested and charged with first-degree arson, a report shows.
Coyle told officers she had argued with her boyfriend Richard Johnson just before 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday and he left their residence at the 100 block of Taylor Avenue.
There were four children in the house who stayed behind, the report shows.
That's when Coyle, 28, grabbed some of Johnson's clothes, threw them in a tub and doused them with gasoline, the report shows. She set the pile of clothing on fire, but became alarmed when the flames quickly rose and grew into a large inferno, the report shows. Coyle tried to put out the blaze and it was contained to the bathroom, police said. However, the walls and ceilings of both the bathroom and an adjoining hallway were damaged and blackened by smoke.
The four youngsters who witnessed the incident were standing outside when police and firefighters arrived at the residence, the report shows.
The Department of Children & Families was advised of the incident, the report shows.
Coyle, charged with arson of a dwelling and culpable negligence, was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday on $2,000 bail.

GSK Consumer Healthcare unveiled the Southeast Asia's 2017 Global Pain Index (GPI) on 20th June 2017.
It is a unique global study that aims to examine people's attitude towards head and body pain, and also evaluate its resulting economic and societal impact. This event brought together leading experts in the field, for exploring and deliberating regional and local findings related to socio-economic impact of pain, including how it impacts economic output and performance, as well as personal life and parenting.
Panelists included Dr. Yeo Sow Nam (Director of The Pain Specialist, Mount Elizabeth Hospital), Professor Eric Finkelstein (Health Services Research Program, Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School), Dr Wong Li Lian (Registered Pharmacist, Department of Pharmacy, NUS) and Kelly Latimer (Fitness enthusiast and new mum).
Study was commissioned by GSK Consumer Healthcare, an associate of GlaxoSmithKline plc. U.K., which is one of world's largest consumer healthcare companies. It was conducted by Edelman Intelligence, which surveyed 19,000 adults across 32 countries including Singapore.
Objective of the survey was to investigate the impact of body and head pain on all aspects of a sufferer's life, from workplace productivity to relationships with family and friends. It resulted in some interesting revelations, such as the fact that Southeast Asian countries have the highest population that suffers with everyday pain. It also brought to light shocking facts about how Singaporeans ignore, power through or delay treatment of their pain, and which then results in an avoidable cost to the economy (of approximately 2% of annual GDP) due to missed work days and reduced workplace productivity.
Professor Eric Finkelstein, an expert in the field, mentioned that everyday pain has significant emotional and economic impact on people's lives and economy. To illustrate his point, he shared some key statistics from this research, such as the finding that untreated or delayed pain related ailments result in financial costs to Singapore that are close to S$8.4 billion, mostly in the form of annual productivity losses. Further, study also estimates similar costs for Southeast Asian economies to be close to USD 44.6 billion.
Surprisingly, for a nation of academic achievers, Singaporeans appear to have amongst the lowest levels of knowledge around medicines available for pain relief and treatment: including dosing (24%), potential risks (15%), side effects (15%), ingredients (11%) or interactions with other medicines (10%). Further, majority of people have been observed to be self-diagnosing the causes of their pain, and almost half of the times end up in treating their head or body pains with non-prescription pain relief options. This is particularly worrying, given that those who are self-diagnosing also have low levels of knowledge around medication and high usage of non-prescription drugs that they commonly use, which could be placing them at a health-related risks and complications in the future. However, good news is that 6 in 10 Singaporeans are interested in learning more about their medicines, given the right avenue and opportunity to educate themselves.
It was also highlighted that pain can affect relationships, and possibly result in a cascading effect that can go far beyond the person who is immediately experiencing pain; with implications such as hindered socializing, or even a lack of interest and ability to spend quality family time. Further, this condition tends to be more sever amongst people with younger kids because it can limit parents' ability to listen to, be patient and play with their children. Infact, survey revealed that 4 in 5 parents mentioned that they believe they can be better parents without the pain.
According to Dr Yeo Sow Nam, pain can be very disruptive, and beyond the individual sufferer in an immediate term, extending to nearly all aspects of their lives and people around. While headaches, body aches and migraines may not seem to have serious consequences, 2017 GSK Global Pain Index findings suggest that they can have a cumulative impact on a person's well-being, if not effectively managed. Despite availability of many suitable and effective options for treating pain, it is also particularly concerning that Singaporeans still tend to suffer in silence for longer periods than they should. This results in a huge burden at a national as well as individual level, especially for those who suffer from pain on a weekly basis. It is therefore important that people take effective steps to address their pain.
Expert panelists also broke some popular myths and provided a much-needed clarity around intake of medicine during pregnancy and even otherwise. There was also a lot of concern raised by consumers and journalists, related to the risk of addiction of pain management medicines. Doctors in the panel hinted that medical practitioners should perform drug screening to ensure non-usage of recreational drugs, before prescribing opioids. They however did point out that while some pain killers (like paracetomol) have no withdrawal symptoms when taken as directed in most healthy people, misuse of painkillers for an extended period, might result in withdrawal symptoms. People should also be wary and watchful of the shelf-life of the medicine. The panel emphasized on the need for better patient awareness, and reinforced the need for better education around pain treatment and management.
GSK Consumer Healthcare will continue to actively work with healthcare professionals and consumers, for ensuring that pain sufferers have access to clear, reliable information when it comes to choosing medicines as well as understanding dosage, reading labels and safe storage and proper disposal of medicines. Company also plans to launch Health at Home program, aimed at providing people with reliable and clear information about medicines. Specifically, objective of the program is multi-fold, such as to facilitate safety and effectiveness of treatment options by everyone, providing guidance on choosing right medicine, emphasizing the importance of reading labels, as well as ensuring various aspects of administration such as correct dosage, safe storage, and proper disposal of medicines.

" Have you come to confess your sins, my children? "
~ Bishop Maltheus St. Claire's famous quote.
Bishop Maltheus St. Claire is a young 13th century Catholic bishop who was driven mad by the influence of the Firstborn while leading an ill-fated army of very young Christian children against against the Saracens on a missionary trek to the lost city of Al-Khali, and one of the bosses in the 2007 first-person shooter psychological horror video game Clive Barker's Jericho.
Young Maltheus St. Claire. was born in 12th century France and had traumatic experiences throughout his life due to his illness of the flesh (a skin disease in layman's terms) which became his fear, the fear for his own health and his own soul. He also could never control his appetites, despite his increasingly severe penances. He, therefore, sought a solution in Rome where he would become a Bishop of the Catholic Church and be forever devoted to his Christian faith. The Vatican library held many secrets. These included texts that spoke the existence of the Firstborn and legends of his coming upon the world of the living. Maltheus thought a being so like God could well save him from eternal damnation. He would have to free the Firstborn in order to win his favor.
In the year 1213 A.D., Bishop Maltheus St. Claire convinced Pope Innocent III that he had discovered the site of the Garden of Eden and that it was in the hands of infidels. He created a Crusade of children recruited into soldiers into the Israelite Holy Land to fight against Saracens for control of that area. He also convinced the Pope that the purity and innocence of Christian children would guard against this crusade. It is unclear that if Bishop St. Claire truly believed that God protect Bishop and his army and would open for them the path to the Garden of Eden or if he deliberately tricked the Pope and the massacre of these innocent young souls formed a part of the plan to open the Breach on the Firstborn's behalf. Whatever the truth, word of Bishop St. Claire's plot concerning the children in his care reached the Church which later ordered the Templar Knights to leave for the "Les Innocents" fortress stationed at Al-Khali and stop him at once. But the time, the Templars arrived the tens of thousands of these "Child Crusaders" already died atrociously at that time and their blood from this slaughter causes the Breach there to emerge, attracting the Firstborn to the human world and soon dooming the souls of Maltheus and the children to part of the Pyxis Prima and prisoners of the Firstborn's power for eternity.
Bishop Maltheus St. Claire who is not yet dead, interpreted what he was seeing as signs of the end of the world. When he heard noises in the crypt below the chapel at Les Innocents, the Bishop thought he was witnessing a divine miracle and that the Almighty in his benevolence was returning his children to him. He ran down to the crypt with mysterious Black Rose plants strangely grown on the grounds of Al-Khali for protection, and he was ready to receive his warriors of Christ with open arms. The Bishop's shrieks were heard for days. The Templars closed off the entrance to the crypt, leaving the heretical bishop to this fate, but like everyone else infected by the influence of the Firstborn, he returned from beyond the grave. And he was changed and powerful, very powerful. Capable of working "miracles", the delusional Bishop Maltheus thought he was in purgatory, subject to another of God's tests to pardon his sins: he had to free the souls of children, now agents of The Devil. He has been trying to do this since then, exorcising wave after wave of children without losing his determination for a single moment. His eternal life is at stake... if only he would stop to think... he already is immortal, but not in the way he thought.
When Delgado and his comrade's Ross Black were tricked by a Templar crusader who is one of Arnold Leach's pawns before escaping from the concealed dungeon used a trap at Les Innocents. They later met a chained prisoner who is a former Catholic priest who were once with the Templars. He revealed about St Claire's crimes against the children he sent to die and the crypt he now resides after death here at Les Innocents before leaving the prisoner on the way to regroup with the rest of the separated Jericho team members and soon facing Bishop St. Claire.
" How dare you to defile this holy place and make demands, heretic?! You reek of sin! Kneel before me and be cleansd! "
~ Bishop St. Claire
" You dare attack me? You are warriors of Christ! Burn these heretics for God's glory! "
~ Bishop St. Claire commanding his reluctant Maltheus Crusaders to attack the Jericho Squad.
" Save me, my children! Their wickedness must not go unpunished! I command you in the name of Christ! Rend their souls! "
~ Bishop Maltheus St. Claire summoning the trapped souls of the Maltheus Crusaders to his defense against the Jericho Squad's attacks.
" No... I loved you. I loved you all. You were my children... My sweet, sweet children... "
~ Bishop Maltheus St. Claire's last words, before being finally killed and destroyed by the angry spirits of the former Maltheus Crusaders as punishment for his crimes.
He was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker (credited as "Additional Voices" in the game).

Mayoral Candidate Jake Wheatley Answers BikePGH Q&A
20 Questions with Mayoral Candidate Jake Wheatley

1. What role do you think Mayors play in making cities safe, accessible and friendly to biking and walking?
A mayor has the ability to set priorities and an agenda for transportation needs within the city. We must be cognizant of the needs of the casual commuter, the car commuter, the walker, the biker and the commuter that relies on bus or T transit.
As mayor, I will work with the departments and stakeholders that deal with transportation in our city to make sure we are improving the overall quality of life for the average citizen, regardless of their mode of transportation.
I recognize that being open to new forms of transportation like biking, or promoting walking, is a great way to make Pittsburgh a more liveable city for all. We need to make our roads and walkways safe for bikers and walkers, as well as help our drivers become accustomed to sharing the road with bikers.
2. It is important that everyone has access to safe streets for biking and walking. What will you do as Mayor to ensure that everyone who lives in the City is within a half mile of interconnected bicycle facilities that can take them from where they live to work, to shop, and to green space without fearing for their safety? There are many gaps in the pedestrian network as well. How will you address this as Mayor?
I would like to begin by encouraging community stakeholders, experts and citizens together to discuss and brainstorm the most immediate needs in safety, but also discuss access to bikes, safe routes and walking paths.
I've heard that other cities have established a bike share program that gives people access to bikes whenever they need them. I understand that this program is coming to the city, but I'd like to find the best way to foster this program and guarantee it's success. It would be great to see Pittsburgh take this step forward and join cities like Washington DC, Chicago and even London in providing this service to citizens.
Having citizen participation in this planning process is key. It's important to remember that we can no longer rely solely upon those working in city government to supply us with innovative ideas. The citizens of Pittsburgh must be a part of the process.
3. Last month, a new bike sharing program was announced that will add 500 bikes in 2014, similar to programs in other US cities. Do you support bike share in Pittsburgh? The City has been allocated about $2M in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for start up costs through the federal Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) program.
I absolutely support this program! This is precisely the kind of entrepreneurial and creative idea to encourage good health, alleviate traffic and generate new revenue that we need in Pittsburgh.
4. Pittsburgh was chosen to host the 2014 Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference, which is expected to draw 1,000 biking and walking planners, engineers, government officials, and advocates from around the country, the largest gathering of its kind. Their focus is on biking and walking as means of getting around with less focus on recreation. What type of projects would you like in place to "show off" Pittsburgh? Will you direct your staff to attend the conference to further their professional development?
There are several projects that I would like to show off during this event –
The first would be new land use projects. As a marathon runner, I like to be challenged during my runs, but not because I'm dodging dangerous traffic or jumping over obstructed pathways. I would like to see our City create new ideas for land use that provide safe pathways designed for recreation. This may include partnering with Pittsburgh-based organizations like GTECH, an organization that focus on transitioning land into useful parcels. GTECH already partners with the Pittsburgh Marathon to "ReClaim the Route" – transition blighted properties along the race route.
I would also like to see a way to provide alternative energy to supply well-lit pathways so that those of us who run or bike in the early morning or at night have increased safety. If we utilize technology such as those developed by Loopwing for example, we can provide quality, safe lighting that is aesthetically appealing, all while keeping costs low.
5. PennDOT has set a goal of 5-10% of trips in Pittsburgh's CBD, and 5% of all trips less than 3 miles be made by bicycle. The City's draft primary mode share goals out of MOVEPGH are similar – 4% bicycling and 16% walking by 2020. Do you endorse these goals? What will you do as Mayor to realize or surpass these goals? This goal is located in the City of Pittsburgh Bicycle Plan.
Yes. I would push the initiatives described above, as well as provide information to drivers on how to share the road with bikers and walkers.
In my opinion, realizing these goals begins with access. Bikes must be available to citizens. Bikesharing will help with these, but we also need a marketing campaign letting citizens in the City know that biking and walking should be considered viable options for getting around Pittsburgh. Spreading the knowledge about this new form of transportation is key.
6. In 2010, the League of American Bicyclists acknowledged Pittsburgh as a "Bronze" Bicycle Friendly Community. What directive will you give to your directors in order for Pittsburgh to move from Bronze to Silver and beyond? More info at bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities.
I believe that if the ideas I have presented previously are incorporated, we can certainly improve our standing in the future.
7. Very poor data exists in the City regarding crashes that involve pedestrians and bicyclists. The numbers are generally underrepresented, and don't allow City staff to plan accordingly for improvements. What opportunities do you see to better use data to make our streets safer for everyone?
As a plank within my Innovating Infrastructure policy, I am advocating that we open up government and challenge those within our high tech community to create new systems that can make services and planning more efficient and effective. This seems like a perfect opportunity and place to have that type of high tech civic engagement.
8. Leading cities for bicycling are implementing innovative bicycle infrastructure (a.k.a. cycle tracks, green lanes, intersection enhancements, bicycle boulevards, etc.) to encourage people who are "interested but concerned" to ride a bike. During your administration, will you implement these types of innovative bicycle facilities to attract even more Pittsburghers to ride bicycles? A number of recent plans have emerged in Pittsburgh that promote these types of bikeways including Oakland 2025, Allegheny River Green Blvd, Downtown Retail Strategy, and we expect MOVEPGH will as well. NACTO.org's Urban Bikeway Design Guide also gives guidance on this.
I will do my best to improve and meet these needs in a feasible way. We have to implement a process where we don't just build bigger, but build smarter. This may involve conversations with other cities to explore how they have built up their bicycle culture.
9. Our University district in Oakland is perceived to be the most dangerous areas to ride a bike, yet contains some of the largest numbers of people who ride them. What ideas do you have to make Oakland safe and attractive for bicycling, and what will you do to implement your ideas?
As I see it, Oakland is a complicated space due to very limited land use possibilities to increase biking safety while not impeding current traffic. We've all experienced congestion on Forbes and Fifth Avenues in Oakland and I am open to all ideas for how we can change that. Hopefully this can be a focus at the Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference.
10. In just about every neighborhood throughout the city, one of the top concerns is drivers driving too fast, aggressively, and not yielding to pedestrians. What is your plan to calm traffic and make our neighborhoods safer and more comfortable in which to walk and bike? For example, on Penn Ave, Liberty Ave, Fifth Ave, Forbes Ave, Baum Blvd, as well as on more residential neighborhood streets.
As mayor, I will be a strong advocate and supporter of our public safety and police so that they can have a vigilant presence on our streets.
I also think that increased signage is important. We must have signs that alert drivers to pedestrians and bikers. This visual is important to helping drivers learn how to share the road.
11. Last summer, Penn Ave saw two fatal bicycle crashes involving unlicensed or suspended drivers. In May of 2012, our intern was nearly killed by a man driving with a suspended license for previous DUIs. There are too many hit-and-run stories against bicyclists and pedestrians to even recount. What actions would you take to keep people from driving who have no business being behind the wheel of a car?
Unfortunately, it is near impossible to prevent certain individuals from making very poor decisions like driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But as I stated in my answer to Question 10, by having an increased presence of police, especially in those high traffic areas of the city, we can hopefully deter or at the very least detect these incidents prior to anyone being unnecessarily hurt or killed.
12. What specifically would you like to announce or accomplish in your first 100 days as Mayor to address street safety, biking, and walking issues?
As I addressed in Question 2, I think the first thing I can do is to give experts and advocates the public platform they need to present a comprehensive plan.
13. When you appoint a new chief of police what direction or directive will you give them regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety?
This will begin with my leadership and commitment to make sure the new Chief of Police has the resources they need to increase public presence so that the community at-large will know we are serious about public safety of all kinds. I will make it clear that biker and pedestrian safety is a priority and is something that we must continue to understand and enforce as our biker and walker population grows.
14. What specific policy recommendations will you implement as mayor to bring the number of pedestrian and bike fatalities to zero over your four years?
Once again, I believe this begins with increased police presence on our streets. Additionally I would like to see my previous mentioned enhancements to our pathways implemented, as well as proper signage on streets.
15. Open Streets are enormously popular events in nearly 80 cities and communities throughout the U.S. Open Streets temporarily restrict motor vehicle traffic on one or more streets so that people can use them for physical activity—walking, biking, running, playing, or dancing. As mayor will you work with us and community stakeholders to make Open Streets Pittsburgh a reality? More info at openstreetsproject.org.
16. What specific steps will you take as Mayor to implement the bike portion of the Allegheny River Green Boulevard plan recently conducted by the URA with $1.5M of funding from federal sources? For more information please visit greenboulevardpgh.com. We can also send you the official executive summary and information about the public outreach component of the plan.
I will look for ways to make sure that the proposed land is safe and clear from obstructions and to ensure that the city is acting as a proactive partner with the project to mitigate any bureaucratic red tape.
17. PennDOT and the County own many roads and bridges inside the Pittsburgh city limits such as parts of Penn Ave, and the Three Sisters Bridges. What will you do to ensure that these streets and bridges are designed in a way that is safe for bicyclists and pedestrians?
I will take the recommendations of the working group I mentioned earlier to the state and county officials and be an advocate for their implementation.
18. What role do you think the City of Pittsburgh should play in educating its citizens about issues related to traffic safety, infrastructure, and wayfinding?
It starts with making a commitment to infrastructure, as I have done already throughout this campaign. The public will never realize the importance of these issues unless there is leadership.
19. What ideas do you have to advocate on a regional, state and national level for bicycle and pedestrian improvements within the City?
As a current state Representative, I already know which doors to knock on in Harrisburg to make sure our city is not only getting the necessary resources it needs to thrive, but to advocate for the ideas we as a city formulate. I'd like to see the City of Pittsburgh become an example of how to implement bike and pedestrian policy.
With that I think one of best things we can do on a regional level is to make a concerted effort to cut red tape between municipalities so that pathways, such as Rails to Trails can be created without bureaucratic delay. This is where organizations like the Congress of Neighboring Communities (CONNECT) can help.
20. In conclusion, why do you think people who care about bicycling and walking issues should vote for you?
As an active member of the running community and a father, I have an appreciation for the needs of the bicycling and walking community, especially on the need for safety.
One of my strongest motivations to run for public office has always been to open doors for citizens to communicate and participate with their government. I will use the office of Mayor as a platform to continue the conversation surrounding bike and pedestrian advocacy. Pittsburgh must be accessible and safe to all people – regardless of their mode of transportation.

Medusa: HEIDI DIAZ/THE KIMMER HITS ANOTHER STALL !!!
For those who are curious about Kimmer's "progress" (or lack thereof), you can see the front page of the Kimkins site here without actually going there and without raising her hit ranking.
BTW, she's apparently still stalled at 277 this week. No weight loss "reported" this week.
That last comment of yours made my day, WildAngel6. Thanks for my first belly laugh of 2008.
A quick thought for anyone who drinks alcohol.
As delicious as a mai tai is on a hot summer day, rum, vodka or any distilled alcohol is technically a poison. During times of war, it's even used an emergency sterilizer for surgical tools!
A dangerous byproduct of alcohol metabolism is acetaldehyde. If there's too much acetaldehyde in your blood stream you die -- more commonly known as alcohol poisoning.
What does this mean to a dieter? Each alcoholic drink causes some damage to the liver. Fortunately, the liver can withstand a fair amount of abuse before it shuts down it's wondrous array of metabolic functions. But years of enjoying alcohol (or being obese) can result in a medical condition known as fatty liver. What this means is that the liver literally becomes congested with fat globules and can't do its job.
Your cholesterol levels will be very high because the liver can't metabolize fat.
What does the liver do? It has many functions including filtering everything we eat, drink or breathe. For a dieter, it's the furnace of the body. As body fat is burned, it's metabolized by the liver and expelled. However, for a liver congested with fat there's no room so to speak for the liver to do this vital work. It's pretty much as fruitless as trying to race your car to work while stuck in a traffic jam. Nothing's happening.
If you lose weight more slowly than you think you should and you've been a fan of alcohol for a number of years, you owe your liver a favor. Ask your doctor for liver function blood tests. Discuss the results and your alcohol consumption with him. Promise yourself to start a new path to health including losing extra body fat.
Your liver is your friend. Give it a break."
Heidi !!! Do you remember this blog post of yours? Perhaps you and the Cap'n might want to take a holiday away from one another. Might break that nasty stall you've got goin' on.
Thanks for the very informative post! No drinking or Kimkins for me!
What would happen if Kimmer actually followed her own diet. That would solve everything 'cause then hey she'd be dead. The end.

Terror Strikes During Ramadan "Barbaric"
Religious and political leaders in Singapore have denounced as "barbaric" the series of terror attacks in this holy month of Ramadan, saying they show how terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have completely perverted the teachings of Islam.
The fact that most of the attacks were in Muslim-majority nations and at holy Islamic sites has also laid bare the terrorists' lies that they commit such atrocities in the name of Islam, they added.
"The attacks on Muslim-majority cities and countries, claiming lives of Muslims… confirm that their heinous acts are against Islam and do not represent Muslims all over the world," said Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim.
"I strongly condemn such barbaric acts," added Dr Yaacob, who is also Minister for Communications and Information.
… Terror experts such as Dr Rohan Gunaratna said ISIS has amplified its guerilla operations as coalition forces have shrunk its territory.
"The last two years, they were focused on building their so-called caliphate, but now they can't do it because they're being attacked," said Dr Gunaratna. "So they transform their capabilities into attacking their enemies, and mounting attacks in peripheral countries."

When you're in survival mode everything is urgent. Tasks have to get done right away. You feel your back is up against the wall.
It seems no one can help you. Your spouse is useless. You have do take care of everything yourself. If you are employed, all your meetings and appointments have to be rescheduled, including telephone calls.
You can't sleep well because of the stress. After you turn off the lights, you lie in bed and play tapes of the day—what you should have done, or could have done better. You think about all the things you didn't achieve. You worry about how you can possibly find the time to get everything done tomorrow.
Petty annoyances seem over the top. You honk and yell at the elderly man in the car ahead of you at the traffic light. Hey buddy, step on it, will you!
You feel totally overwhelmed. Your breathing feels weird and your heart sometimes flutters.
Basically, you can't think straight, and your memory is bogged down. Where was I? What needs to be done next? What did I tell the nurse on the phone who called about my mother?
Even trying to calm down doesn't work for you. You try to slow your breathing, but then rush off. You just don't have the time.
Life feels joyless. You can't imagine an end to the stress.
In the morning you pray that you're not going to have another terrible day, that you'll be able to control everything.
You find you react to every little thing. The milk is sour, so you carelessly pour it down the sink and get some on your clean shirt. Your throw a fit.
Your family takes the brunt of your frustration, and you constantly lose patience with them.
The liquor store calls to you. You know you need a meeting, but you won't, you can't possibly make it a priority.
How Can I Regain Control Over Survival Mode?

A Look Back At the Eight-Decade History of Queen Elizabeth II and Her Corgis
A look back at the reigning monarch's illustrious history with her beloved breed.
By Diana Bruk
It's perhaps the greatest love story of our time.
Queen Elizabeth II And Her Corgis: A Love Story
On April 21, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her 91st birthday, and people all over the world will pay their respects to the longest-reigning British monarch in history. But in addition to her longevity, the Queen will also be celebrating another great legacy: being the most famous, and perhaps greatest, corgi lover to ever live. Indeed, Queen Elizabeth's name is synonymous with the Pembroke Welsh breed. The Queen has owned more than 30 corgis throughout her life, and has reportedly had as many as 13 in her care at one time. The corgis have done more than offer loyalty and friendship; they have made her more relatable to her subjects, showing that behind the regal facade there is a maternal, affectionate woman who just wants to cuddle with a cute puppy at the end of a long day.
Dookie
In 1933, King George VI brought home a corgi named Dookie for his daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, after they both fell in love with the ones owned by the children of the Marquess of Bath. Dookie was reportedly chosen from three dogs that were brought to the family's London residence, and picked by the Queen Mother because his long tail made it easier to "see whether he is pleased or not." He got his name from the breeder, Thelma Gray, who boarded the dog for a bit after he was chosen; she and her staff called him "The Duke" because they joked that he had started to act very snooty after becoming royal dog. "The Duke" turned into "Dookie," which stuck once he took up permanent residence with the Royal Family. This photo of a young Princess Elizabeth hugging Dookie was taken at Balmoral, the Royal family's Scottish home, in 1936.
Another corgi, Jane, soon followed, also from Thelma Gray. Here, Dookie and Jane are seen playing with Elizabeth (or Lillibet as she was affectionately called among family members) and Margaret at Royal Welsh House around 1936.
A Strict Schedule
Early on, the Queen Mother implemented a stern regimen for taking care of the dogs. They were to sleep in individual wicker baskets that were elevated above the ground, to avoid drafts, and it was the girls' responsibility to brush them and ensure they received the proper amount of exercise. The princesses reportedly fed the dogs by hand from a dish held by a footman.
Dookie died at the start of World War II, but Jane provided a constant sense of comfort and companionship during those dark days, when the young princesses were moved to Windsor Palace while the King and Queen stayed at Buckingham Palace. Tragically, Jane was accidentally run over by a car in 1944, but not before giving birth to a puppy named Crackers. Princess Elizabeth wrote a letter to the man who ran over Jane, an employee of Windsor Great Park, to tell him she was certain it was not his fault.
In 1944, Elizabeth received a new puppy by the name of Sue, who later came to be called Susan. She and the princess were inseparable, and when Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten in 1947, Susan followed her on their honeymoon to Scotland, concealed under a heap of blankets.
A year later, Elizabeth gave birth to a son: Prince Charles. Susan followed her into motherhood shortly afterwards, giving birth to a pair of puppies named Sugar and Honey. This was the beginning of what is perhaps the most famous and prolific corgi dynasty in history.
A Dark Turn
In 1950, Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter named Anne. In 1952, she became a young queen after the sudden death of her father, King George VI. It would appear that Susan did not appreciate the lack of attention brought on by her lady's new role. In 1954, Susan bit the royal clock winder, and later attacked a guard, a sentry, and a police officer. Susan died in 1959, and was buried at the Queen's estate in Sandringham. Queen Elizabeth wrote to her estate manager requesting that the gravestone read, "Susan / died 26th Jan 1959 / for 15 years the faithful companion of the Queen." She later followed up with another letter, asking that the loyal dog's birthday be inscribed as well.
Time to Learn Some Manners
Before Susan died, the Queen sent Sugar off to mate with a stud, and chose two puppies to take home from the litter: Whiskey and Sherry, as gifts for the young prince and princess. Having acquired somewhat of a reputation for bad behavior, the pups were trained by the gamekeeper and his wife at Windsor Castle to learn some more royal manners so that the monarch could take them on trips and events. Here, they are pictured at the London airport in 1969.
A Full House
Susan kicked off several generations of corgis for the Queen, including Heather, Tiny, Bushy, Foxy, Brush, Smoky, Jet, Kelpie, Phoenix, Mint, Fay, Linnet, Pharos, Monty, Bramble, Laurel, Jasmine, Cedar, Rose, Larch, Holly, Willow, and others.
Pickles, the Queen's first dorgi, appeared when Tiny cross-bred with Princess Margaret's dachshund, Pipkin. There would be more dorgis, including Cider, Berry, Vulcan, and Candy.
When the Queen landed in Scotland for her annual holiday in 1981, she was reportedly accompanied by 13 corgis, though the photo above was taken seven years prior at Aberdeen.
Another Rough Patch
While undoubtedly adorable, the Royal Family's pack of corgis became increasingly unruly. In 1989, the Queen Mother's corgi, Ranger, led a group attack that killed the Queen's favorite corgi, Chipper. Two years later, the Queen attempted to break up a fight between her corgis and those of the Queen Mum's, which resulted in her getting a bite on her hand that required three stitches. In 2003, her corgi, Pharos, had to be put down after being brutalized by Princess Anne's bull terrier Dotty. The Queen's fondness for the breed was famously not shared by her immediate family or her staff.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady called them "little yappy nasty dogs." Princess Diana jokingly referred to them as a "moving carpet." Prince Charles is notoriously diffident about the breed, preferring labs. Prince William has said that he would do away with the dogs when he ascended to the throne due to their incessant barking. And in what is perhaps the best anecdote, Princess Michael of Kent once said she would shoot them, to which the Queen reportedly quipped, "They're better behaved than she is."
A Loyal Bond
Despite these issues, the Queen continued to fiercely defend her faithful friends. In 1999, one of her footmen was demoted after it was discovered that he liked to pour alcohol into their food and water as a "party trick." According to Darren McGrady, they were fed by a gourmet chef, who served them a rotating menu of chicken, lamb, and rabbit, some of which had been hunted by members of the royal family themselves. They often accompanied her on her walks, to the point where the dogs would reportedly get excited when she put on her kerchief as it signaled a walk, and lie sullenly on the ground when she emerged in a tiara.
The End Is Only the Beginning
As the years went on, it became increasingly clear that the Queen was not looking to breed any more corgis, so as not to leave any of them behind when she died. Monty Roberts, her equine adviser, urged her to get a new dog after the death of Monty (who was named after him) in 2012, but she declined.
Long Live the Dorgis
In 2016, Holly died from an illness, leaving behind just one corgi, Willow, and two dorgis—corgi-dachshund crosses—named Candy and Vulcan. Unfortunately, Willow passed away on April 15, just days before Her Majesty's 92nd birthday. She was reportedly put to sleep at Windsor Castle to prevent further suffering from illness. The Queen's corgi dynasty may have come to an end, but the love that they shared will last forever.

DP called me up this morning around 9:30 and hinted that it looked like the rain was going to miss us for a couple of hours so I took the bait and said lets go. I invited Greg then went out and filled the bait tank with water. 25 minutes later we were on the way to the lake. We had a short window to fish in, it was going to start raining hard around 2 and Ethan had to get back early for a practice this afternoon. Bait was tough, after a couple of hours we took what we had and put them out. All we really wanted to do is get out of the house and see the kids reel in a couple of fish. Ethan's first Striper was the first one to hit and he did a fine job of getting it into the boat. We popped a picture of it then Anthony hooked up and showed Ethan how a pro reels in a Striper. They traded turns reeling in fish for about an hour and a half till a nice fish hit our outer board. DP thought we were hung up but when he picked the rod up the fish tried to pull it out of his hands. He hollered for Ethan to come grab the rod but when DP handed it to him there was no way Ethan could hold the rod much less turn the handle. DP passed the rod to Greg and he wrestled the fish to the boat where we netted it. I put it on the scale and it was a little over 16 pounds. The fish was in very good shape so we released it along with all the other fish we caught with the exception of the four fish the kids are holding. We all are having Striper for dinner and released enough fish for dinner for 20 if someone can catch them again.
This is a picture of Gizzard Shad in the water column between 10 and 25 feet deep. You can see on the upper left screen that I had been marking it for quite some time. We caught no fish in the bait but about 30 yards outside the bait we started hooking up.
This is a shot where we caught Stripers shallow on planner boards. This was early in the morning after a warming trend nearby rocks and boulders. We were hooked up with 3 at a time when I took this picture. The sonar side shows what appears to be just bait but the structure scan shows Stripers hovering over a rock pile.
Here is a shot of me dropping down a downline with a sinker and a 5 inch bait. You can easily see the sinker and bait descending then I engaged the reel at 34 feet. Within 15 seconds a 12 pound Striper hit the bait and the fight was on. A couple other fish streaked off the bottom to watch the fight.
This is a brush pile in 19 foot of water that has bait on the left side of it and fish on the other. We hooked up with a 22 inch Striper and a 16 inch Crappie over this structure. The brush was definitely holding fish but I did not turn back to investigate what kind we were seeing on the Lowrance.
What a difference a day makes....Yesterday 75* and beautiful, today 30's and cold. The weather did not dampen these guys spirits too much today. They enjoyed reeling in these and other Stripers this morning. Tristen caught the big fish of the day which was right up on the bank. We took numerous hits today but seemed to hook up with only about half of our strikes. I think everyone is ready for Spring, Old Man Winter need to call it quits and let the water warm up.
John wanted to treat his grandsons to an enjoyable time on their spring break so he brought them down from Massachusetts to see the sights in Washington and to spend a few days out on the water catching fish. This was not the best week to fish as far as weather is concerned but these were some tough guys that are use to cold weather. The top two pictures were taken on Wednesday. The weather could have not been any worse. The temps never got out of the 30's and it rained the whole time we were out there. To make matters worse bait collection took 4 to 5 hours to catch the kind of bait we needed. They hung in there and boated some nice Stripers. Luke is holding a Striper over 14 pounds, the largest of the trip. These young men were excellent listeners and boated everything that got hooked up. The weather slowed fishing up this week due to the water temperature dropping 4 degrees since the weekend. We never had any times when they were here when we would hook up with numerous fish, very uncommon for this time of year. If the weather would straighten out and warm up a little these Stripers on the lake will turn on and fishing will be excellent due to the hard winter and bait kills we experienced. Look for some incredible stringers in the upcoming weeks! Luke and Tom will have some good memories of their Spring vacation.
Guide Brian took these fishermen out for a afternoon of catching Stripers on Lake Anna earlier this week. The bite was definitely on because in a short time they boated about 20 Stripers. These are some very nice fish the guys are holding. Its time to book your trips, we have been constantly catching good stringers of Stripers and the fishing and weather is only going to improve. We are running 2 fully rigged 22' boats that capable of handling 6 anglers fishing up to 18 rods at once rigged with the natural live bait the Stripers feed on daily. Its been a long winter, call [540 967 3313] or email [Jim_Hemby@hotmail.com] to reserve a day on the water with myself or one of our 4 excellent guides.
Today I got out early and hung a light, picked the guys up at 6:30, caught bait and went fishing. All I did was look for a place where there was no boats and set out a spread. I told the guys that with the extreme weather change we were just going to pull baits till we found the fish and that is exactly what we did. I fully expected to have 40 hits today and catch 30 fish but it just never happened. We took about 25 hits and caught 16. Although the fishing was not what I expected the weather was incredible today. Good things never last and by the looks of things the weather is going to change big time. The guys had a good day on the water and had plenty of fish to take home today.
This morning we picked up our clients and filled the bait tank up quickly. We set out a spread of boards trying to put a pattern together but we would catch a fish over the channel, then one in the mouth of a creek, then one up on the bank, never any serious bite but we hung in there and caught a stringer full of fish. The highlight of the day was when we boated two Stripers on one rod. Hopefully tomorrow the fish cooperate a little better so we can catch some larger fish.
This is a weekend Josh has been waiting for for a long time. He called me many weeks ago about renting a house on the lake and fishing a couple days to celebrate his BACHELOR PARTY. The day finally arrived and although the weather sucked for fishing he was pumped to go so I got up early and caught bait then waited for them to arrive from Md. I picked them up at their dock around 9:30 and we looked for a place where we could get out of the wind but there was no such place. I set up in an area where the waves were white-capping and as I was showing them how to deploy the baits we got hit. We got that fish on board then I showed them again how to put the baits out but before I could bait another rod it hooked up as well. It was extremely windy and very cold so it didn't take long for the guys to get cold today. I made a move after about an hour and that is when Josh hooked up with these two nice Largemouth. He reeled in a fish that was hooked up on a board and tangled with another line on the board that was in front of his. There must have been another bass following the hooked up Bass and it hit the bait that was tangled in his line. When he got it to the boat I netted them both in the picture above. Although the weather was so poor and we only fished a few hours they had a great time today. I got them back to their house early so they could get ready for the festivities this evening. We are scheduled to go out in the morning but I believe it will be a late start again. I will bring some Advil for them tomorrow.
Today we caught bait early this morning then picked up our crew about 6:45. This morning was post-frontal and I thought the bite would probably be hindered by the approaching cold front. Yesterday morning Guide Anthony fished boards getting plenty of hits and pull backs but not many hook ups so I decided to try something completely different. I ran downlines on breaklines and started to boat fish. Anthony was out again today pulling boards so if the board bite got going he would let me know then I would convert over which we did. The front definitely affected the bite today, we would see little fish on the Lowrance and never got into any good feeding opportunities. The highlight of the day was Bobby's 22" 7 1/4 pound Largemouth Bass. We boated about a dozen Stripers and 3 Largemouth.
