Anyone in DoD may find this, Federal Times article, interest (re: NSPS)

[Brad Bunn, the executive officer of NSPS, told a conference that the next 18,000 white-collar employees to be transferred to the system by the end of this year will likely be the last, capping the controversial pay program at 205,000 employees. That’s less than a third of the 650,000 civilian Defense Department employees that the Bush administration originally sought.

But the Nov. 4 election could bring a further downsizing of the program, depending on who wins....to “substantially revise” or “strongly consider a complete repeal” of NSPS ]

TRUTH?? OR A FISH TALE?

Bruce Kruk lands 359-lb Rainbow April 26th, 2008 Trail B.C.

--Bruce Kruk, who blindfolds his friends to keep his favorite fishing spot secret has come up with a record-beating fish

-- a rainbow trout weighing 359.1 pounds.

The giant hauled in by Bruce Kruk of Trail BC is 12 ounces above the previous Columbia River record, a BC biologist confirmed It's been cut down to fillets. The first fillet weighed 53 pounds, Bruce said. He caught it near a chemical outflow on the Columbia River . He won't give a more specific
description.

'I put myself in a harness and just had to lay back and fight,'
Bruce said. 'It was about a 15 or 20 minute fight.' Bruce cleaned the fish late Monday afternoon.

'We'll split it up,' he said.

'I'll make some phone calls and try to get rid of it fresh.

The rest, we'll vacuum pack it and cook it later.' Bruce says he
believes the fish is about 33 years old. He plans to send an in
ner-ear bone called the otolith to a university in Victoria where
researchers can help determine the age of the fish. He hopes to get
the results in about four weeks.

Note: I may not be a fisherman, but I would swear that this doesn't look like a rainbow trout to me. More like a salt-water grouper of some kind.

And the two fish on the far left in that first picture look like salt-water fish to me as well. I'm thinking King Mackeral, or possibly Wahoo.

Any fishermen/fisherwomen that can identify the species?
