At New Melones, the water level dropped less than a foot last week and the water temperatures are beginning to cool, averaging 70 to 74-degrees. Boat launching off Glory Hole Point still requires 4-wheel drive. The lake has had very little boat traffic or fishing pressure. John Liechty, of Glory Hole Sports, states that during the next couple of months the trout bite should improve as the water cools and the fish move up from deeper water and closer to shorelines, in search of shad minnows which will move toward creek arms. If and when it rains, the fresh water will wash nutrients into the lake and help to oxygenate the water.

The game had been a back and forth game with the Crunch scoring first.

Everyday we walk down streets we’ve traversed thousands of times -- or will-- and everyday they get a little bit different, a collection of faces passing us by, old and new. I am one of those new faces, a recent New Orleans transplant. While I can 't speak to the impact of changes this city and its residents have gone through, being from heavily gentrified Oakland, CA, I can certainly relate to the twisted mess of pride, politics, and pain that comes with the feeling of being a newcomer in your own city.

However, years later, after having built up a life outside of Starhill, Rod moves back to his old hometown; this happens not because the town, the people, or the social order changed in any manor, but because Rod developed a new perspective on the entirety of that which was St. Francisville, Louisiana.
The war in Iraq has tremendous results in terms of living conditions, ecology, violence, and human rights. This is what Stephen Lendman exposes in his article.
