    Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019 Introduction Lake Granby, approximately 7,250 surface acres when full, is one of the largest coldwater reservoirs in the state. It is the main storage reservoir in the west slope portion of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project which supplies water to the northern Front Range through the Adams Tunnel at Grand Lake. It is a focal point of the Grand County tour- ism economy and offers many amenities. Recreational access is managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area. The recreational fishery of Granby is dominated by lake trout (aka mackinaw) and hosts the highest density of the species that has been documented in Colorado. Kokan- ee salmon have been stocked in Granby since 1951 to pro- vide recreational opportunity, a prey base to produce tro- phy lake trout, and spawning adults are captured annually to provide eggs for restocking. Rainbow trout of various sizes are also stocked and there is a moderate density of self-sustaining brown trout. Suckers and mottled sculpin Figure 1. Lake Granby are also present.

  • KPT-Guidebook.Pdf
    copyright 2013 Bikerpelli Sports i You need maps with this book! This guide is designed to be used with two maps from Latitude 40 – Fruita & Grand Junction and Moab East. These are available at your local shop or online. These are simply the best maps we’ve found for the trail, there’s a full breakdown of different map options on page 8. This overview map is great for planning purposes but you’ll want a real map in the field. Why? You’re gonna take a few wrong turns, it happens to everyone. The difference between a 5 minute mistake & a 1 hour mistake is having good maps. There are about 1000 other reasons but if you don’t get it by now it won’t matter what we say. copyright 2013 Bikerpelli Sports ii Why are we giving this book away? This guide is the product of 1000’s of hours of work and recognized as the most thorough & accurate KPT guide in existence. It was sold commercially from 2006-2012 which is kind of a pain in the butt when you’re not a bookstore. We’ve sold a couple thousand copies & have been happy with the return. Now it’s time to focus our attention elsewhere – rather than selling guides & maps – and take on new projects, new rides, new events. So we’re putting this info out to the world to be freely distributed in hopes it will promote responsible and safe use of the trail. Below is the entire guidebook, the whole shebang, no charge.

With MURALS, we are intentionally reaching out to students of color in various disciplines and exposing them to a variety of undergraduate research opportunities. Mentoring, presenting research, networking, and learning about multicultural leadership are four main aspects of the program. MURALS, in its 5th year, has become a true student success collaborative initiative that is made possible through efforts and dedication across campus. These efforts have demonstrated dedication and measurable outcomes that ensure racially minoritized students are affirmed in their educational efforts by providing support to ensure success. MURALS participants will be able to: — Increase their interaction and collaboration with students from diverse populations — Communicate confidently and constructively about their research/scholarly work with their peers, faculty and staff — Independently synthesize and extrapolate information pertaining to their own research/scholarly work, including lessons learned, strengths, and ways to improve — Articulate significance of independent research interests as it pertains to their field, community, nation and/or world.

It was so far away that there was no summer. It was so far away that the trees and the grasses did not grow as they should. He-Who-Made-the-Animals saw how it was that there was not enough sun to heat the earth, and so he fashioned a snare. The Sun did not see the snare in his path, walked into the snare and the snare held him fast. The sun was close to the earth.

All other reproduction is restricted by copyright. Copyright: Northern Arapaho Tribe, Ethete, Wyoming, USA, 2012 1 This edition of the Arapaho dictionary has several new features compared to previous editions. First, an effort has been made to include new words for modern items. This includes the results of meetings held in June 2008 and March 2012 by elders specifically to create new words, and also words in use at the Ethete and Arapahoe Immersion schools that have been documented. This also includes detailed words for activities such as basketball, which were not included in earlier editions. New entries exist for e-mail, text-message, website, homepage, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, cell-phone, and a number of other items. In some cases, no official new word has been designated, and no word seems to be in popular use, but an individual elder has suggested a word. These are labeled "suggested word" in the accompanying entry.

    Praise for Spiced In this timely and lively chronicle of psychoactive substance consumption, Professor Graham provides insights into human hopes and despair that touch all of us in one form or another. He does this at multiple levels: the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and larger societal. The treatment is comprehen- sive, historical, and penetrating into human and social vulnerabilities and remedies. All this is done with an integration of themes and principles from research into consumer behavior and marketing. Professor Graham makes his subject matter and purposes come alive with many actual stories, mini-case histories, and vignettes interwoven throughout the presentation of fascinating technical details of psychoactive consumption. The book is fun to read, yet haunting and sobering in its implications for people everywhere and public policy. • Richard P. Bagozzi, the Dwight F. Benton Professor of Behavioral Science in Management and formerly Professor of Social and Administrative Sciences, College of Pharmacy, both at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor The list of psychoactive substances covered in Spiced is impressive. Including salt and sugar provides unique views about the consumption of hedonic mol- ecules. The author’s marketing background fills an important gap in our un- derstanding of the global consumption of these powerful spices. • David J. Nutt, DM FRCP FRCPsych FMedSci, the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology and director of the Neuropsychopharmacology Unit in the Division of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London No one is better equipped than John Graham to tell the provocative story of ancient and contemporary spices – their global marketing, consumer use and abuse, and regulatory complexity.
