Sterne Agee analysts Jason Weyeneth and Alex Levine raised their price target on WisdomTree Investments (WETF) this morning but trimmed earnings estimates on account of high compensation costs.
From the duo's note:
Investors Should Be Thinking About GAAP Taxes In 2014. WETF has a $61 million NOL which can shield the next $137 million of pretax earnings (45% tax rate). And while we don't expect WETF to run through the NOL until early 2015, we think investors should be thinking about WETF reporting GAAP taxes in 2014. Currently, WETF reports a 0% GAAP tax rate because of a full valuation allowance against the tax assets due to consistent profitability only recently emerging. Given the strength of earnings in 2013, we expect WETF's auditors to remove the valuation allowance at the end of the year which will result in WETF reporting a full tax rate (~45%) on its GAAP statements, despite not paying cash taxes.
Lowering Estimates, But Raising Price Target. We are reducing our '13/'14 estimate to $0.35/$0.34 from $0.37/$0.35 reflecting updated expense guidance with slightly higher compensation than we were previously modeling. The lack of EPS growth in '14 reflects the impact of GAAP taxes as we have modeled 75% growth in pretax earnings. We are raising our one-year price target to $14.50 due to higher expected AUM. Our target continues to be based on 5.5% of forward four-quarter AUM (1Q14).

Wotif.com: What if the hottest eCommerce site in Australia ran on GlassFish?
By woodjr on Feb 07, 2007
What if you could get a hotel room cheaper by waiting to book it? That simple question led to the creation of Wotif.com. As a date draws near, hotels will often lower the rates for their unbooked rooms rather than have them sit empty. Wotif.com allows consumers to take advantage of this by offering the best "last minute" deals from hotels in 35 countries. Here, last minute means bookings no more than 28 days in advance (which allows them to get the best rates from hotels while still allowing consumers some planning time).
So a great question led to a great idea and a great service, right? Yes, but that isn't the end of the story. True to their name (a quirky spelling of "what if"), the company kept asking questions and seeking answers. For example, the technical team became unsatisfied with the lack of new development and features in the application server that the site had been using. So they asked: what if we switched to "get on a supported and current platform with a future" and "take advantage of new features in the Java EE 5 specification and things built on top of it"? Great question. And after evaluating a few options, they found a great answer: GlassFish.
Once their evaluations were done, it took "a team of 6 about a month" to port the Wotif.com site over to Sun Java System Application Server 9.0, UR1 (Sun's supported distribution of GlassFish v1). In addition to the GlassFish base, they leverage other open source software including Hibernate, Struts, Spring, and ehcache (a distributed caching mechanism). The results are now live in production (running on multiple Sun Fire V40z servers).
Any way you look at it, the Wotif.com site and its volume are impressive. Want concurrent traffic? Their production servers "support around 10,000 concurrent sessions." How about monthly stats? The site averages "almost one million users, who make over 110,000 bookings" each month. Wow. That makes for a lot of happy hotel guests.
Congratulations to everyone at Wotif.com for all of this success! And thank you for allowing Sun and GlassFish to be a part of it.

Comments: same thing as a zoom bruse hog except it tears up a lot easier than the brush hog.
From: Bryce: Orange County, CA
Comments: yes this is like the brush hog, except it has scent and is cheaper! a no brainer
From: Paul: ME
Comments: Yes, it is a copy of the Zoom Brush Hog. But at a cheaper price, with much better attractant IMO. I am a fan of all 'Big Bite' plastic baits, and this one is no different. They make terrific plastic, and they are priced below major brands. Why spend more for something inferior? BUY BIG BITE!!
From: Joe: Haysville, KS
Comments: This is an EXACT copy of the Zoom Brush Hog. I can't find a difference. Go with the Brush Hog.
Comments: awesome bait...i like most of big bite bait products...as the perform great and produce fish in the boat...love them

The 50,000 objects in the textile collections fall into two main categories: raw fibers, yarns, and fabrics, and machines, tools, and other textile technology. Shawls, coverlets, samplers, laces, linens, synthetics, and other fabrics are part of the first group, along with the 400 quilts in the National Quilt Collection. Some of the Museum's most popular artifacts, such as the Star-Spangled Banner and the gowns of the first ladies, have an obvious textile connection.
The machinery and tools include spinning wheels, sewing machines, thimbles, needlework tools, looms, and an invention that changed the course of American agriculture and society. A model of Eli Whitney's cotton gin, made by the inventor in the early 1800s, shows the workings of a machine that helped make cotton plantations profitable in the South and encouraged the spread of slavery.

- Description
- Concepción "Concha" Sanchez wore this cotton apron with embroidered images of birds while making tortillas in her small neighborhood business. Her grandson, Adrian Sanchez, fondly recalls the machine and working with her to make tortillas and tamales:
- I recall helping my Grandmother Concepcion Sanchez make corn tortillas for her to sell….[in] 1948 in Fillmore, California. …My uncle Arnulfo [bought] his mother a molino, a machine that grinds corn for masa to make tortillas…a comal, a griddle to cook the…tortillas, and a machine [tortilladora] that actually made the tortillas…the dry corn was cooked [and limed]…The cooked corn was then ready to be ground in the molino…The ground masa was then gathered into large balls to be placed on the machine…when the handle was turned, a tortilla would fall on an attached conveyor belt which…would drop the uncooked tortilla onto the comal…After the tortillas cooked, they were stacked and counted into dozens… The…neighborhood came to buy their warm tortillas…A…batch was sent…to…Tio Nuco's market …During…Christmas…Grandma [made] masa for tamales…[she]…was into her 80's when she quit. (Smithsonian interview, 2006)
- Concha Sanchez and her family followed the path of many Mexican immigrants who turned their traditional foodways into a staple of community life. Concha and Abundio Sanchez migrated from Mexico in 1912 at the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Through the 1920s, they worked in Kansas, in Texas, and in the produce fields of California, eventually opening a grocery store. When that failed in the Great Depression, Concha supported her family by creating a tortilleria, making and selling tortillas in her Ventura County neighborhood. Instead of making them by hand, as Mexican women had done for centuries, she used the new electric and gas-fired equipment bought by her son to produce tortillas and tamales for sale.

Hundreds of people young and old gathered together on April 13 for the Third Annual Southeastern Utah OHV Club Poker Ride. The event which started out as just an idea, has now grown into what is looked forward to every year by people and families all across Utah. The Poker Ride is not to be confused with a race. It is a game and the object is to receive the highest poker hand. The more tickets you have the better your chances become.
The latest predictions for Emery County show that we will have about one-half of our normal stream flow. The Natural Resources Conservation Service recently released the April 2002 Stream Flow Forecast Probability Chart for Utah. It shows that the expected stream flow forecast for Huntington Creek is 48 percent of average, Joe's Valley Reservoir In Flow is 48 percent of average, Ferron Creek is 54 percent of average and Muddy Creek is 55 percent of average.
These stream flow forecasts are based upon several factors. Among the most important of these factors is the snow pack that is present on the snow measuring sites (Snowtel Sites) on the date of April 1. The snow water equivalent (inches of water in the snow pack) is compared from year to year and used to help predict the runoff and stream flow. This year on April 1, the snow water equivalent's (SWE) were the sixth or an example, on the Seeley Creek Station; the SWE was 9.70 inches this year. The lowest ever recorded was in 1977 when the SWE was only 7.2 inches. Other years that were lower than 2002 include 1934, 1956,1959,1981 and 1999.
Utah is the second driest state in the union. We had a very dry year in 1999, low years in 2000-2001 and a very dry year again in 2002. Four years in a row of below average water means that Emery County is in for a dry year, one of the driest ever. We can expect to have only about one half of our normal stream flow.
The cities and the Castle Valley Special Service District have been very concerned with the low water predictions. They have decided to turn the secondary irrigation systems on, but warn all users that restrictions will have to be imposed. These restrictions will be on all of the secondary irrigation systems in the county. At a minimum they will curtail the use of any water during the middle of the day. No watering from 9 a.m.- 6 p.m. will be allowed. In some cities you will only be allowed to water on two days during the week. Everyone needs to contact their city to see what restrictions apply in their area.
Darrel Leamaster, the manager of the CVSSD, advises all of the secondary irrigation users to think and plan how they can reduce their water use by one-half. If everyone works toward water conservation we will be able to get through the year. If people waste water, we could be out of water by August and have to shut the secondary irrigation systems off. Hopefully, with careful use and planning we can get through the year. We may not have the prettiest lawns and gardens, but hopefully we will have enough water to keep them alive.
Leamaster also cautioned that users cannot use the drinking water system for outside watering. Many people mistakenly believe that if the secondary irrigation system runs out of water then they could use the drinking water system for outside watering. This isn't possible because the cities own only a fixed number of shares of stock in the canal companies. This entitles them to the quantity of water allocated to those shares. When that water is gone, the cities are out of water and can't use any more, either out of the drinking water system, or the secondary irrigation system. Also, the drinking water is treated water and is much more expensive water to produce. So don't plan on using any drinking water for irrigation or sprinkling purposes. The cities will be responsible for monitoring the irrigation system to make sure that the schedules and turn systems are adhered to. The penalties for violations are still being decided upon. However, most cities are considering a verbal warning for first time violators; second time, written notice; and shutting the water off and accessing a fine for a third violation. Rather than violations and fines, the district and cities are confident that everyone will cooperate and help conserve water. They believe that if everyone is careful we can get through the year.
Another in the series of public meetings to discuss the monument proposal was held on April 10 at the Museum of the San Rafael. The meeting was sponsored by the Emery County Public Lands Council, the Emery County Farm Bureau and the Emery County Economic Development Council. Dennis Worwood, chairman of the lands council welcomed the public and introduced the speakers.
Worwood spoke of the history of the Swell and the ongoing efforts to protect the area started in the 30s with talk of making the Swell a national park at that time. Proposals in the 70s looked at designating the Swell as a National Conservation Area. Wilderness proponents have looked at the Swell and wilderness inventories have been conducted by various wilderness groups. A different variation of the NCA was submitted in the year 2000 and was voted on and defeated. Worwood spoke of the possibilities opened up with the Bush administration in office. He described the Swell as being a cherished area. The objective was to partner with President Bush and the Department of the Interior from the beginning of the process. The monument proposal would state the objectives and concerns of the county. The monument proposal would be similar to the legislation introduced in 1998 which was discussed widely in the cities. It is a somewhat familiar starting point for discussion of the monument.
Worwood stated their objective in holding these meetings 'is to bring in people who can bring in good information for public comments.' The council will compile the comments, formulate a proposal and make a recommendation to the county commission on how to proceed. Worwood said they need the comments to be specific regarding language to be written into the proposal, monument boundaries, grazing, access and other areas of concern. The lands council will record all comments.
Worwood said the four maps listing the four alternatives of the Bureau of Land Management's travel plan were displayed on the back wall. These maps were put together by Val Payne of the lands council to give a clearer idea on the roads which would be closed or left open under each alternative.
Worwood introduced Jeff Durrant of the Brigham Young University Geography Department to the meeting. Durrant talked of the research he has done on the San Rafael and impacts of land use on the Swell. He displayed maps of the area with information ranchers had supplied him with detailing their use and how they access their allotments and water in these areas. The boundaries of the Wilderness Study Areas are also outlined on the maps with details of the allotments in those areas as well. Durrant offered the maps for the county's use and invited the ranchers present to add to the maps if they had more information.
Worwood said that Margaret Swasey of the recreation subcommittee for the lands council has been recognized as one of 12 volunteers nationwide for their work on public lands. Swasey has been instrumental in the work accomplished on public lands days at Copper Globe, the Wedge and the dinosaur quarry. Worwood congratulated Swasey on this achievement.
Worwood then introduced Karl Ivory to the meeting. Ivory is from the Price BLM Office. Ivory said he has been with the Price office for 14 years. He said, "I will give a brief overview of the standards and guidelines pertaining to the BLM and grazing. The BLM manages 2.1 million acres in Emery and Carbon counties. There are 182 grazers and 183 grazing allotments, with 94,000 aums. This area includes four wild horse and burro management areas with 225 horses and 70 burros. The monument proposal in question will effect 39 grazing permittees and 37 grazing allotments. A standards and guidelines assessment is completed as part of the National Environmental Protection Act for each permit as they come up for renewal. These guidelines and standards are nationwide.
"The BLM manages rangeland on four fundamental levels. They see to it that the watersheds are functioning properly and the soil is still holding plants. Some areas are more productive than others. Each area is maintained at its capability. We maintain water quality standards, habitats for threatened or endangered species and keep the rangeland viable economically. The four fundamentals tie in to the national standards. We work to accelerate and restore and improve rangelands. We work to sustain the western livestock industry and communities that are dependant on livestock.
"Each state also works on their own standards. The Utah Standards took about 18 months to complete. There was consultation, coordination and public participation. The rangeland health team held public meetings and sent out public mailings. One thousand, nine hundred and fifty copies of the draft document were sent out to mainly permittees and of that 1950 only 39 responses were received. Fifty-two people attended six meetings held in various parts of the state and 16 people provided comments. There was low interest in the Utah Standards. Several organizations including OHV people, wildlife, RAC board, ranchers, archaeology community all responded to the comments and put the finishing touch on the standards. They were approved by the governor and sent to the Secretary of the Interior who approved them on May 20, 1997.
"The standards and guidelines are a description of the desired condition of the rangeland. Standards are measurable and attainable. Indicators are features of an ecosystem that can be measured or observed such as soil litter, plant diversity, plant health and so forth. Guidelines help grazing management. There are also guidelines for recreation, timber, oil and gas and mining.
"We identify and prescribe methods of rehabilitation for rangeland. We look at uplands soils and see if they demonstrate permeability and infiltration. We look at cover and litter and the vegetation's abilities to hold water. We check on eroding gullies. We check the riparian and wetlands areas to see if they are properly functioning. We check streams and rivers to see if they are holding their waters in the channels. We check to see if the stream provides proper vegetation to provide food and cover for wildlife.
"We check the desired species habitats to see that they are being maintained by the presence of the desired species. We check for water quality. There are 14 guidelines for water quality with subparts on each. Water guidelines include grazing management practices, vegetation maintenance, meeting plants physiological needs in uplands and riparian areas. Rangeland improvements are monitored to be consistent with standards established in the NEPA document. Salt blocks and mineral supplements are kept away from riparian areas. Intensive grazing and fire are used for management as well. Something biological is tried first on an area.
"We monitor quality of recreation and campsites for their aesthetic value. We work to restore native species and nonintrusive species. The feeding of hay or supplements is only used in an emergency and then weed-free hay is allowed to avoid the spread of noxious weeds. We also look at areas that are not maintaining these standards and figure out why they are not and what we can do to fix it. There is usually more than one reason why an area isn't meeting the standard. It could be because of wild horses, elk or other reasons. Adjustments are made for each animal.
"Sometimes the rangeland is burned and reseeded. These areas are rested for two years to give them a chance to rehabilitate. We also work in areas where there is a conversion of livestock from one species to another. We monitor and work with ranchers on assessment and interpretation of data on their allotment. We determine what to do on an allotment to help it meet the standard. We develop a plan of action.
"Currently 53 of the 183 allotments have been evaluated. Of the 780,000 acres evaluated, 685,000 are meeting the standards and 95,000 acres are operating at risk. We are currently taking action on three of these areas that are operating at risk. The Coal Creek allotment north of Price is a chained area. Six to eight permittees are on the allotment and have agreed to a 15 percent reduction. Of the 15,000 acres, 12,000 are not meeting standards due to loss of grasses and pinon and juniper coming back. Action is being taken, the riparian area has been fenced; there has been some pond cleaning. A prescribed burn is also being planned, but we will have to work around the gas wells in the area.
"The Dugout allotment 15 miles south of Green River is at risk because the rice grass plants are dead due to the drought. There are 6,000 acres there not meeting the standard. This area has hardly been grazed at all for 10 years. The area will not be grazed when the plants begin to grow, but only grazed in the winter.
"An area of the Black Dragon is also being looked at. The water quality of the San Rafael River does not meet the state water quality standards. The uplands are meeting the standards which indicated the problem is not caused by cattle grazing.
"We are getting people involved, a number of permits expired in Feb. 2002. We sent permittees letters indicating when we would be evaluating their allotment and they could meet with us. We are currently assessing eight allotments from the Buckhorn to Hidden Splendor. We try to keep the public informed as to which allotments we are working on," said Ivory.
Worwood thanked Ivory for the BLM information and introduced Richard Nicholas from the Utah Cattlemen's Association to the meeting.
Nicholas said he was there to explain the position of the UCA as it relates to the monument. "My comments might be controversial but I hope to give valuable information as you make the decision to proceed or not. I spoke with the President of the UCA last night and this morning and he said he was extremely concerned and upset that Governor Leavitt has contacted President Bush to make this a monument. He is offended by this action and views it as unprofessional and inappropriate. While we were still deciding he's put the wheels in motion. Governor Leavitt has broken his promise. We are currently arranging a meeting with the governor to discuss this.
"The UCA expressed outrage at the designation of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The UCA supports legislative action to keep this from happening in the future," said Nicholas.
Nicholas read from the Republican Party Platform which stated their opposition of the designation of the GSENM and their desire for a reversal from the Supreme Court.
"The monument proposal here is a mixed bag, some support it and some are cautious, worried and uncertain. It may answer some problems but you're not sure. One incentive is to try to limit wilderness or future wilderness. It's a common concern. First of all to make a monument in hopes of keeping at bay future wilderness is like finding a bear in your backyard and throwing him a lamb so he won't eat your kids. If there is a change in administration, wilderness could still be designated. There's no protection in that philosophy.
"In Box Elder county and others there are lawsuits by Western Watersheds appealing grazing rights. It's difficult to build a consensus when one of the parties isn't interested.
"Your legislation for a conservation area was opposed by the environmental groups in 1998. Their big concern is to have more wilderness. Making a monument will not satisfy them. The crux of the issue...this monument will be different. The GSENM was done in the dark. This will be done the right way. You will structure the way you can live with it. Your hometown version of the monument is against the law. The process states all interested parties come to the table. The National Conservation Area didn't work. Why will a monument work? You can't by law make it how you want it. It will change dramatically because other people have to comment. All you have is a veil of hope.
"Congressman Jim Hansen said monuments by nature are restrictive. If you're not going to change too much by making it a monument then why do it. You have concerns with ATVs and other separate issues. First you need to decide first if you want a monument.
"Using the Antiquities Act to make the monument is an abuse of the act. It specifically states that the archaeological or historical site should use the smallest acreage possible to identify the site. It doesn't have to take 600,000 acres to do that. Everyone bellyached about the GSENM and now you're entertaining the idea to do something similar.
"I learned while at the Rangeland Conference in St. George this January that the endangered species act is not about protecting the species but about identifying the land and locking it up and the people lose.
"In the GSENM proclamation on page 42 President Clinton stated that 'all present grazing will be maintained and managed and no grazing would be threatened. Since that time 325,000 acres within the monument have been permanently retired. The process began six months after the designation. You can't guaranteed that won't happen here. I have deep feelings about this country, but it has a sorry track record on keeping promises. Look at what happened to the Native Americans. Garfield County is protesting this loss of grazing.
"You need to read history and learn from it. Experience shows you won't get what you want. The Grand Canyon Trust is working to eliminate grazing. Sixteen thousand aums have been lost which adds up to $6 million a year lost to the counties from these eliminations.
"The establishment of the GSENM set the stage for the Grand Canyon Trust and the most significant grazing retirements in history.
"Why set the stage? A monument is different it is scrutinized more. It's a whole different thing. Whey set the stage to eliminate grazing?
"It's your choice, but it is my opinion if you choose to go that route your credibility will be greatly diminished. I've talked to Commissioner Randy Johnson and he said you don't have to have it if you don't want it. I have two statements that might help you. I know you're kind of worn-out from the environmentalists. I am too. I am tired of it. The public lands issues are a war. Each is a battle, it's not going to do any good to gripe and moan at your buddy or your wife. If you don't like it, you've got to go to someone who can fix it. Get involved in the public process and fight for what you think you have or just walk away," said Nicholas.
Nicholas quoted from Abraham Lincoln about the duties of the people to maintain their own liberties and institutions. Nicholas concluded by saying how things have changed. "I am concerned about it and want you to seriously consider it, because you will live with it. You will rue the day you did it. The government already has too much control. There are concerns but there's just better ways to do it," he said.
Dell LaFevre, Garfield county commissioner and local rancher spoke to the audience next. "I've been feuding with the government for years. Right now though we're getting along. I think the GSENM was created because of coal. We're sitting on the largest coal reserve in North America and Clinton wanted cheap Asian coal. Before the monument was created we had 16 employees working for BLM in Kane and Garfield counties. Now we have 124 employees, there's a lot of spies up there. I'm glad you have to make this decision.
"I had 24 cows and 16 calves shot, things were getting tough. I swore I'd kill the guy if I found him and just say I was having flashbacks. Things got bad along the river. The allotments the Grand Canyon Trust bought out were marginal allotments and they are now out of action.
"There were mistakes made on both sides of the trespass cows on the monument. I worry the most because the whiskey drinking range con (conservation manager) on a horse is gone. There's no one out there on a horse. I built 17 miles of fence on the monument. I have a good working relationship now. You can create relationships. I don't trust Leavitt, I trust Bush, but we won't have him forever. There are pros and cons. I say if you can get protection then do it," said LaFevre.
The meeting then went into breakout sessions where attendees voiced their opinions which were recorded.
The group came together again and the facilitators read the comments. Many opinions were expressed. A brief synopsis of the comments were: no monument, we own the land why give it away? It won't stop the WSAs. No monument, because there are no guarantees. RS2477 roads will guarantee right of ways. No monument, can't trust the government, no guarantee, no protection, don't add more regulations to what we already have. Bring it to a vote. Elimination of grazing will take away rancher's livelihood. No more federal employees to increase our taxes to pay for them. Grand Canyon Trust didn't force people to sell their allotments. The federal government didn't take them away, the people sold of their own free will. Protections are already in place. Check into rangeland protection programs that are grass roots organized. Doing the same thing as the GSENM did. Apprehension that the final proposal would not be the same as what the county drafts. Will things stay the same? Supporters of grazing as long as it adheres to BLM standards. Wants local control of monument. Opposed to wilderness. Wants free access to all lands, doesn't need a guide or a bus. Wants continued grazing. Doesn't want commercialization. No monument should preclude access to the land. Will support if locals have a say. Wants grazing protected in the whole county, not just the desert. Why protect the land from itself? Would support if strong language protecting grazing as it is now could be guaranteed. If we can have what we want then great, if not then against it. Why are we considering a monument? What would we gain and what would we lose? Does adding federal employees help economically? Leave the Swell alone, but fight for multiple use in court.
Worwood answered a few questions from the audience. Someone wondered if the lands council had met with environmental groups. Worwood answered yes, they had but had not discussed the monument. Worwood said, "Congressman Wayne Owens stood before Congress and asked for 5.4 million acres in wilderness. He knew they would not get that much but that was their starting point. Between 1992 and 1995 they came up with a wilderness policy which shifted to the left. There would be no compromise. We met with the environmental community to ask them to take a second look at roads which they agreed to do."
One cattleman spoke of the money he has invested in grazing allotments and would like some ownership in the wording of a monument proposal.
Nicholas said the BLM doesn't place value on livestock permits by law.
Worwood spoke of the Nez Perce' National Park which has separate sites but make up one park. He said their are several options available to Emery County as possible tourist attractions.
The point was made that the county's wording should not be changed if indeed a proposal did go forth.
Worwood said he appreciated everyone coming.
"Whether you agree or disagree we need to have these discussions here and not at the White House. It is the county's intent to protect grazing. The county intends to protect access. The county has spent a lot of money with the GIS mapping of the roads. Val has spent countless hours on the maps for the BLM travel plan.
"The county has looked at a lot of things to have a say. There was a 9 million acre wilderness bill put forward which generated wilderness in Alaska. This bill is being used as a model for the America's Red Rock Wilderness Bill. The county feels strongly about the proposal to rezone one half of our county as wilderness. We need a voice. We have been denied a voice in grazing and water.
"Rep. Hinchey is sponsoring the bill to rezone 49.5 percent of our county and the people in Congress agree with him. We need to find our own process. The RS2477 is an alternative process.
"The wilderness folks did a roads analysis. We are going ahead with our own process we want everything looked at and factored into it.
"The commissioners are doing a risky thing. Especially in an election year. Let's take a look. Whether you agree or disagree the commissioners are looking out for the interest of the county above their own interests," concluded Worwood.

Actor wants Hollywood to see him as more than 'that deaf guy'
Russell Harvard remembers the moment he decided to become an actor. It happened when he was a kid growing up in Austin, Texas.
"My cousin was in this play. It was something new they'd created that was based on 'The Wizard of Oz,'" said Harvard, 31. "I didn't know what to expect."
Harvard was amazed. "He was this really evil character. It took me completely by surprise," Harvard recalled. "My cousin was so nice and mild-mannered and here he was playing this villain. I thought, 'Wow, I want to do that!'"
Harvard has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. He stars in the acclaimed Barrow Street Theatre production of "Tribes" beginning March 10 at the Mark Taper Forum, and his film and TV credits include going toe to toe with the formidable Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood" (he played the adult son of Day-Lewis' hard-driving oil man, Daniel Plainview).
Harvard's success has surprised others, too, including those who advised him to train as a teacher in case the acting thing didn't work out.
They had good reason for concern. Harvard has been nearly deaf since birth.
Born in Pasadena, Texas, Harvard was raised in a clan with deaf family members going back three generations. Both of his parents and his paternal grandmother are also deaf.
In the mid-1980s, the family moved to Austin so that Russell and his brother Renny could be educated at the Texas School for the Deaf. Those were difficult years for Russell when he struggled with one of the main points of contention in the play: communicating with sign language vs. reading lips and speaking.
"It's definitely something that people have different opinions about, though maybe they're not as (passionate) as the family in 'Tribes,'" said Harvard, who is fluent communicating in sign language but is also an excellent lip reader. (Our interview was conducted without an interpreter, and Harvard only occasionally asked me to repeat a question.)
In "Tribes," Harvard plays Billy, a young deaf man living at home with his contentious family. Though Harvard never saw the original 2010 production of British author Nina Raine's play at London's Royal Court Theatre, he discovered it when Barrow Street Theatre announced the American premiere would take place in 2012 at its Off-Broadway venue. "I decided (the role of Billy) had to be played by me," he said. "That was it; it was going to be my role."
Unlike Harvard, Billy is born into a challenging family that often makes life difficult for him. He has been discouraged from learning American Sign Language by his father.
When Billy brings home a girlfriend, Sylvia, who is losing her hearing, his two siblings and parents have various negative reactions toward her. Sylvia is teaching Billy sign language. That doesn't sit well with his father, who suggests that communicating without speaking creates a barrier between the deaf and the rest of the world, in effect ghettoizing them.
But there are deeper reasons for the antagonism, Harvard said.
"Billy's father is afraid of losing him – he's worried that (sign language) will put up a wall between them," Harvard said. He added that Billy's brother has similar concerns. "They have a close bond and he doesn't want his relationship with Billy to change."
The conflict plays out in long, emotional sessions at the family dining room table. Learning how to negotiate that maze "was the most difficult part of the play for me," Harvard said. "There are a lot of people talking over each other and arguing. (Director) David (Cromer) and I worked really hard on getting the timing right."
Harvard has been busy since "There Will Be Blood" put him on the map in 2007. He starred in an independent film, "The Hammer," based on the life of a deaf college wrestler. He has also guest-starred on "CSI: NY," worked with L.A.'s respected Deaf West Theater, and completed two films with a production company that concentrates on films in American Sign Language.
But Harvard says he doesn't want to be thought of as "that deaf guy" by the theater, TV and film industries. He parted ways with a casting agent who was pushing him to try out only for parts that required a deaf actor. Encouraged by a new, more ambitious agent and heeding the advice of his friend, deaf actress Shoshannah Stern ("Threat Matrix," "Weeds," "Lie to Me"), Harvard plans to audition for all kinds of roles in the hope that Hollywood will use him for his abilities as an actor first and accommodate his condition, rather than cast him because of it.
"I am determined to break out," Harvard said. "That's why I'm excited to be performing here in Los Angeles. I want people to see me and think, 'Hey, we could cast that guy.'"

A former Portsmouth Naval Shipyard worker faces up to nearly 20 years in prison for pleading guilty to setting a May 23 fire inside a nuclear submarine that caused damage estimated at $450 million.
Casey James Fury, 24, of Portsmouth, N.H., also admitted setting fire June 16 to the wooden cradle supporting the USS Miami, which has been in dry dock at the Maine shipyard since March for an overhaul. That fire was extinguished before causing damage.
Fury, who was a civilian painter and sandblaster, said he started the fires because he was suffering anxiety and wanted to get out of work, but did not expect such extensive damage.
Under a plea deal, prosecutors and the defense recommended that Fury be sentenced to between 15 years and 19 years for arson, U.S. Attorney Thomas Delahanty said. Fury has been in jail since his July 23 arrest by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Fury could also be fined $500,000 or ordered to pay full restitution, which Delahanty told reporters "far exceeds the amount any person could hope to repay," Seacoastonline says.
A judge must still approve the deal when Fury is formally sentenced. No date was announced.
The May blaze, which took 12 hours to extinguish, heavily damaged the forward compartments but did not reach the nuclear propulsion system in the rear. Seven firefighters and sailors were injured.

Holiday shopping and parties [1] are underway, but with the festivities of the season comes one downside: a huge increase in waste. In fact, between Thanksgiving and New Year's, average household waste increases as much as 25%, which is why it's important to keep recycling even as we celebrate.
"During the holidays, consumers buy new gadgets [2], host parties and even update home decor," said Linda Gabor, vice president of marketing and account management for Call2Recycle [3], North America's only free rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program. "This is a great time to give a gift to the planet by recycling [4] old batteries, cell phones and other products that we typically upgrade during the holidays, or items that we buy and then throw away at the end of the season."
Here are a few easy recycling tips you can follow during the holidays:
1. This year, make e-cycling a top priority.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, of the average $750 that households plan to spend on gifts this year, approximately $232 of that will be spent on consumer electronics such as a laptops, e-readers or game systems. Electronics are the most popular items in the Earth911 Recycling Directory [5] – more than 30% of recycling searches last year were for gadgets such as computers and televisions.
2. Don't forget the rechargeable batteries that power your gadgets.
This time of year is one of the most popular times for people to recycle their batteries. Nearly 20% of Call2Recycle's overall 2009 battery collections were received in November and December. Likewise, 20% of the batteries sent to Call2Recycle from its retail partners in 2009 came from consumers visiting these stores during the holiday season.
3. Christmas trees can and should be recycled.
Christmas trees [6] are one of the top-searched items in the Earth911 Recycling Directory each year, even though these recycling programs only last for a few weeks. Through its Treecycle Program, Earth911 generates the nation's largest treecycling database from scratch every holiday season, gathering information for thousands of local events and collection drives around the country that make it easy for people to recycle their tree after the holidays.
4. Help the environment and those in need.
Allow your green efforts to help those in need by donating household goods that you no longer use to a local charity. Clothing, decorations, blankets and more can find a brand-new life through a charity, rather than reaching the trash bin.
To be more environmentally conscious this holiday season, recycle batteries and cell phones at any of the more than 30,000 retailers, communities and businesses across the United States and Canada that serve as a Call2Recycle collection site. To find a local Call2Recycle collection site, visit call2recycle.org [7], or visit Earth911.com [8] to find a location to recycle hundreds of additional items.

Just like other C&C competitors,
Dark Reign also tries to beef up everything with better graphics. Some
shrubbery here, a few more trees there, and a lake here - basically no difference.
The graphics are a little better quality (at least for the terrain), but the
units are ugly. I liked the C&C units better than these ones. The mission selection
system is really nice, but hey, did we buy this game to play war or select missions?
The most noticeable aspect of the game (sadly enough) was the music. It was surprisingly good; probably the best I've ever heard from this type of game, and it never got boring or annoying. The sounds were decent, but definitely could have been better. They were too many generic laser sounds that got repetitive after a while.
Everything else is almost exactly the same as any other C&C clone. You use your mouse to select units and scroll along the map, etc. The one thing they did really improve on is the plot. In the manual there is a plot running nine pages long; the game, however, does a really bad job developing it in-between missions. The briefings are just text-based explanations of what you have to do. No movies, voices, visual aids, plot development, etc. It's as if they were separated and have nothing to do with one another.
This game boasts of "superior artificial intelligence" that "acts as unpredictably as a human." The only thing they did was make the computer harder!!! I wouldn't take what they say too seriously, I found the computer to be very predictable just like its predecessors. On the other hand, the computer is much better player than previous real-time strategy games, which makes up for that predictability.
Multi-player games are very
fun. With that AI out of the way, it's just you versus a friend; the game is
very enjoyable. There is modem and network support for you and friends, and
also Internet forums provided by Activision so you can play whenever you want.
By far the best part about this game is its multi-player aspect.
A new feature to Dark Reign are the waypoint markings. Instead of directing your units and holding their hands while they cross the street, you can direct them through a series of markers that they follow sequentially as they arrive to their final destination. This greatly helped me along strategically when I planned multi-directional attacks - a good addition. They also included behavioral options. You can set a unit to scout around, harass, or search and destroy. Other options include the ability to change the priority of when to get repaired, and when to return fire. For example, you can designate a unit to go to a certain waypoint and do nothing else, not even return fire. Other options include the ability to fire only when fired upon, or destroy anything encountered along the way. In the big scheme of things these functions were a little too nitpicky, and sometimes bothersome. Most of the time I didn't use them at all. I'm sure you agree, there's little time to screw around with everyone's attitude in a real time strategy game.
As I usually conclude with all games of this genre: if you're not bored out of your mind with C&C clones, I'd recommend this game to you. Otherwise, besides a few additions, this game flops on originality. It has a plot with a LOT of potential, unfortunately it wasn't developed as well as it should have been. Multi-player games are fun, and because you have an Internet connection, I'm sure you'll enjoy that. Yes, this game would have gotten a MUCH better grade if it came out before C&C, but it didn't.

England won the Auckland sixes contest 15-8 to ease into a 1-0 lead with two to to play against New Zealand after a record-breaking Twenty20 spectacle at Eden Park.
- Related Content
In more conventional scoring terms, but ones which barely seem appropriate at a venue whose curious dimensions distort short-format cricket far from the norm, England prevailed by 40 runs after matching the ground record with 214 for seven.
On a playing area with little more than a 60-yard carry at either end, England targeted the straight boundaries but thrashed plenty of other maximums to all parts, clearing the rope four times more than they ever have before in Twenty20s - and easily surpassing their previous highest score of 202 for six.
Luke Wright topped the sixes charts with four, and Eoin Morgan came closest to a half-century with 46.
Then Stuart Broad bagged a career-best haul of four for 24 as he and Steven Finn (three for 39) kept taking wickets to keep their team in a comfort zone even though Martin Guptill and Colin Munro returned fire with five sixes between them.
Alex Hales soon announced England's intent, after being put into bat, with their first six high over deep midwicket off Trent Boult in the second over.
Boult and his fellow left-armer Mitchell McClenaghan found some early swing, but it was still a near impossible task to contain the batsmen.
Hales greeted the introduction of Ronnie Hira's left-arm spin with a brutal four crunched past mid-on.
But, going up the wicket to try to repeat the dose next ball, the opener missed one that drifted into him and was easily stumped.
It did not take long for number three Wright to upstage Hales - and after finding his range against McClenaghan, he set the tone with a six over extra-cover for a second over from Hira which cost 21 runs.
Michael Lumb had only three, from just six balls faced, in England's first 50 runs. But he joined in with a swept four and straight six off Hira.
Ross Taylor, back for his first international match since being relieved of the New Zealand captaincy and then sitting out the tour of South Africa, was the darling of a crowd who had cheered wildly at the announcement of his name after the toss.
But he did nothing to endear himself further when he dropped Wright at cover off Nathan McCullum and then Lumb when he skied Andrew Ellis to deep midwicket.
Fortunately for Taylor, neither miss was costly - an aggregate 17 runs, before Wright was caught in the leg-side deep off Ellis and then Lumb miscued an attempted hook at McClenaghan to short fine-leg.
New Zealand were not helping themselves in the field, though.
Hira dropped Jonny Bairstow on 22 off Ellis, but the most glaring missed chance fell to McClenaghan who appeared not to sight one properly at short third-man when he put down Morgan on 33 off McCullum.
The combined cost for the Kiwis' third and fourth drops was 29 runs, Morgan miscuing Hira into the off-side to give Taylor an unmissable opportunity to end the fourth-wicket stand at 81 and Bairstow unable to clear Guptill at long-on off Boult.
Jos Buttler nonetheless ensured England surged past 200 and beyond.
It was conceivable, given their firepower, that the Kiwis' chase might get competitive. But they were up against it after three of their top four failed to better 20.
Debutant Hamish Rutherford mistimed Broad into the leg-side ring; captain Brendon McCullum was very well-caught by Morgan, running back to collect a skied slice at deep point off Finn; then the same bowler also saw off Taylor when the returning hero tried and failed to clear the longest boundary on the ground at deep midwicket.
Guptill was within one more six of his 50 when he drilled Wright's medium-pace very hard but straight to Broad at mid-off - and hard as he tried, big-hitting left-hander Munro could not pull off a highly improbable mission on his own.
Broad brought himself back to account first for James Franklin, caught behind giving himself room, and then bowl Munro as he aimed to leg, in the same over.
The captain was continuing the fine form he had shown in England's warm-up campaign despite his persistent heel injury, and for the hosts his intervention meant the game was up.

Posted on 12/07/2006 10:58:38 PM PST by james500
THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday endorsed the idea of talks with Iran and Syria to help ease the bloodletting in Iraq, saying it would also be in Tehran's interests.
Clinton spoke in the Netherlands the day after the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel that included senior officials from his administration, proposed engaging the two Middle Eastern countries -- and U.S. foes -- in the search for peace in Iraq.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsday.com ...
But he said pulling out some troops "would send a signal that we're changing policy, and it, I think, would free up some troops to try to be strong in Afghanistan."
Way to be decisive, Bill!
Advice from a traitor.
This is not helpful. We already had enough reasons not to support dialogue with Iran.
He goes to Vietnam, praises Ho Chi Minh, comes back and now wants to talk to Iran. Oh what a great diplomat, what a great statesman. William J Clinton, peacemaker and citizen of the world. How can we thank him enough.
I'll get banned if I say what I want to say....
So, who is going to listen to him!
I think it's called playing both sides of the fence .. that way regardless of what happens .. he can say he was right
Yea ... those letters and speeches from the Lunatic in Iran about wanting to kill Americans and Jews in Israel was a little hint
Diplomacy and political correctness will kill a whole bunch of us. Didn't this pantload read Ahmadinejad's letter to the American people? It was a window into that a-hole's dark heart.
Bill Clinton, the great WARRIOR!
What is *spine-chilling* is that it looks like President Bush is considering it.
And, nearly 30% of the country want to put these fools back in the White House!
Someone should ask Hillie if she agrees with her hubby....
Because Bill wouldn't fight for anything or anyone, he just cannot conceive that everyone else isn't just like him.
Because Bill wouldn't fight for anything or anyone, he just cannot conceive that everyone else isn't just like him.
Well said! Repeat it often!
Sure he does... he wants the beast to sell them ALL of our secrets that he didn't sell to the chicoms. Screw him and his cloven-hoofed wife!
My thoughts exactly.
Bill only supports monologs. His idea of a dialog is where he argues on both sides of an issue.
Yeah, that dialog with N. Korea worked out so good, let's do it again.
Like Dick Morris, he's a master at predicting the past and reading the temporary direction the wind is blowing on his wet finger.
As usual, the only interests he gives a rip about are his own. He still has his eye on that UN position; not to mention Hillary's bid for the White House!
He is revolting!
"bill clinton supports dialogue with iran."
just like john kerry supported dialogue with north vietnam.
"just like john kerry supported dialogue with north vietnam."
The ONLY reason clinton alleges that this talking would be a good idea, is to find a place at the top in the UN!! Scary!
Bubba cannot serve as top dawg in the UN. The charter forbids a member of the Security Council to serve as SUN.
Wouldn't be the first time he'd do that which he should not do! He's known for making up the rules as he goes along, or just changing them if he is so inclined!
Well I suppose Bill is entitled to his opinion just as any other private citizen is.
Destroyer of aspirin factories and decoy tanks.
Of course he does. He would talk to them by phone from the Oval Bathroom while being "paged".
Well, if Bill Clinton supports it, you know it's a bad idea.
"...is to find a place at the top in the u.n.!!scary!"
ambitious bugger, isn't he?
too bad he loves left-wing despots.
Yes, he IS an "ambitious bugger". When I think of all he has already done to mess up this country, I become very frightened. He is not only ambitious. He is the personification of evil!
hi nancee.
"he is the personification of evil."
you said it.
hi nancee.
"he is the personification of evil."
my sentiments exactly.
question; i don't mean to be blasphemous, or silly...but...
what would happen if he came into contact with holy water?
You're welcome Nancee.
Yup, he has a lot of experience and success with North Korea!
Carter is the father of terrorist Iran and Klintoon is the father of NK's ill!
I couldn't say, but one day he IS going to face the Lord, and his knees will bow and his tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, John Podesta, Vernon Jordon, Bettie Currie, Sidney Blumenthal, Harold Ickes, etc. ad nauesum are not going to be able to help him out of this one! We all stand alone on that day!
That alone should tell you this is wrong!
Sahra Amir Ebrahimi
And THAT'S the Iranian he wants to have dialog with. (Did I say dialog?)
W-H-Y do the voters have any patience with either of these characters????
Clinton, Carter and the rest of the dangerous left would have pardoned Hitler if the price was right.
"clinton,hubbell, foster, podesta, jordon,currie,blumenthal,ickes...."
a long list of tyrants who are unable to leave people alone.
Why not? BJ and "half"bright talked us out of a mess with PRNK didn't they? /s

By RICHARD SHAWECP Publisher
A couple of years ago the state of Utah spent a lot of time and money going around the state getting peoples ideas for a new state slogan; one that would catch the eye of tourists all over the world. They even brought a crew to Castle Country and spent some time here. I went to that meeting along with about 50 other people and I thought that the group here came up with some very good slogans.
Utahn's (or some at least) didn't think the old slogan "Utah: A Pretty Great State" was good enough so eventually they picked "Utah: Life Elevated."
There were at least five suggested sayings from the crowd that attended the meeting in Price that were better than that.
For some reason everyone has to have some kind of brand to remind others how wonderful they are. At the meeting we discussed "Virginia is for Lovers" and Texas' "It's like a whole other country" and how successful those slogans had been for those state's tourism businesses. Of course there are other memorable ones like "I love New York" and New Hampshire's "Live Free or Die" both of which have some questions to them. There are also some less than memorable ones like Delaware's "It's good being first" and "Visit Florida" (boy that's a snappy one). Recently eastern Utah has also come up with it's own regional slogan; "The other side of Utah." Actually it is a much better one than Utah officials picked for the entire state; maybe they should have taken our local suggestions more seriously.
After discussing this propensity to put a jingle on ones place of residence, a couple of my friends and I have come up with another idea. Instead of just giving regions slogans, why doesn't Utah let every county pick out their own slogans. Here are some ideas we came up with.
Box Elder- "Life named after an insect."
Cache -"Couldn't be colder."
Rich - "It's better to live life rich than poor."
Daggett - "It's not vanilla, it's Manila."
Uintah - "The quarry is closed, but you can still see the bones."
Duchesne - "Life misspelled."
Wasatch - "We like wrestlers."
Summit - "Life yuppiefied."
Weber - "Life with only one b, not two."
Davis - "Life is a roller coaster."
Morgan - "Weber Canyon's gateway to Evanston."
Salt Lake - "No lake stinks like it."
Tooele "Life mispronounced."
Utah - "Life multiplied and replenished."
Juab - "Provo's latest suburb."
Sanpete - "Life without the water they think they should have but don't own."
Carbon - "Where the dinosaurs once roamed, and Democrats still do."
Emery -"Life without stoplights."
Grand - "The Colorado of Utah."
Sevier - "Life in the middle isn't as bad as it sounds."
Piute - "Life would be boring without ATV's"
Millard - "We used to have the state capitol, but now we just Fillmore gas tanks along I-15."
Beaver - "Where everyones busy."
Iron - "We're not St. George, but we have a four year college."
Washington - "What stays in Washington County goes to Las Vegas."
Wayne - "Not named after John."
Garfield - "Famous for cats."
Kane - "Home of the Bill Clinton Environmental fan club."
San Juan - "Monuments for all occasions."
Okay, I realize some of these are funny and some are lame. And unless you are in on some current happenings (or not so current) you may be left out as to what the meaning of each is.
But let's face it, Utah: Life Elevated sounds like an ad for an escalator company or some kind of medicine for men with a problem.
Yuck, again.

I believe SO6p is saying that someone (Naruto) will lead the Bijuus down the right path. It's important that the Bijuus themselves seem to think that that is what he was saying.
Look at the expression on Naruto's face after Yonbi Shared his chakra, it didn't look like someone receiving a power-up, more like a happy gift.
When you take the Yonbi's belief that Naruto is the one referred to in the SO6P's prophesy, it becomes almost unavoidable to believe that Naruto will become Jinchuuriki of the Juubi, or he that will re-birth them to once again become individuals, using the spark of the chakra they gave Naruto along with their names.
It is quite possible that the Chakra inside Naruto from the Bijuus, plus their names, is even now incubating a new batch of bijuus.
In this scenario we could end up with
a) Juubi jinchuuriki vs Juubi v 2 jinchuuriki., or
b) A way to redeem the bijuus from the juubi's chakra after the juubi is defeated, if their personalities are completely erased inside the Juubi.
These are just guesses hopefully not too wild ones.

This week the Emery County Community Theatre will present the musical comedy, Nunsense. The book, music and lyrics were written by Dan Goggin. This hilarious international hit was performed in 1999 by the theatre group, and was so well liked they are bringing it back for an encore performance in 2009.
The story is about the Little Sisters of Hoboken, a small order of nuns, who are putting on a show to raise money so they can bury the last four of the 52 sisters of their order, who were accidentally poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia Child of God. They have kept these last four sisters in the freezer, hoping they can earn the money before the New Jersey Board of Health comes for an inspection. Time is running out. Sister Mary Regina, the Mother Superior played by Linda Daley certainly has her hands full trying to keep order. The four other nuns, Sister Mary Hubert played by Tanie Worthen, Sister Mary Leo played by Tricia Erickson, Sister Mary Amnesia played by Natalie Gardner and Sister Robert Anne played by Loyette Holdaway seem to attract chaos at every turn.
"Just what is a Mother to do?" she laments.
Through watching their zany dialogue, song and dance routines you can find out how these sisters solve their great "freezer dilemma. The musical is directed by Ann Murdoch, assisted by Nadene Hinkins who serves as choreographer. The music is played by Sister Mary Harmony also known as Annell Jackson and Sister Mary Melody played by Elizabeth Fillmore.
The musical will be performed at the Emery High auditorium on March 12, 13 at 14 at 7 p.m. A matinee showing will be March 14 at 1 p.m. All tickets for the show are $5. Come and see why Nunsense is habit-forming.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
Deer in Northeast Mississippi are on the move and will be for most of January as they breed.
A much more abundant population and bucks with minds on the rut are making driving more dangerous, even in cities, according to Lann Wilf, biologist for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries northern region.
Corp. Phillip Sanderson of the Tupelo Police Department said they are seeing more deer move into the populous areas of Tupelo and cause traffic accidents.
Tupelo Police reported a deer-related accident at the intersection of Butler and Coley roads near the Tupelo County Club on Jan. 1 around 7 a.m.
Another police report showed a deer-related accident Jan. 2 around 6 a.m. on Wilson Street, a heavily wooded but also residential area near East Main Street.
Sanderson said a deer ran into an officer's car at the intersection of Highway 45 and McCullough Boulevard two weeks ago.
Toward the end of December, incidents were reported on Cliff Gookin Boulevard between South Gloster Street and Lawndale Drive.
"Most of theses accidents have been happening early morning and in the late night hours," Sanderson said. "If a driver encounters a deer and has an accident, it's important to pull over as soon and as safely as possible. Do not approach the deer and call 911 once you're safe."
Sid Russell, director of Tupelo Public Works, said the most problematic areas for deer in the city are on Cliff Gookin Boulevard between Thomas Street and Tupelo High School and on Main Street near the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Being located on the Natchez Trace, Wilf said, makes Tupelo a prime target for deer movement.
Whistles that can be attached to your car and are marketed to repel deer can be purchased for less than $10, but numerous studies, including one in 2007 at the University of Georgia, show deer do not react to the whistles.
Wilf said Mississippi's deer herd is approaching 2 million, meaning there is one deer for everyone one-and-a-half people in Mississippi. "Last year we had possibly the largest crop in 50 years," he said. "Deer did not move last year and our population is through the roof. Hunters generally do not take enough deer each year."
To stabilize the state's deer population, hunters would have to take 30 percent of the state's population each year and Wilf said they are taking only 250,000 to 350,000 deer, or about 15 percent.
Oxford is Mississippi's pilot city for a new deer population control plan.
The city's mayor and board of aldermen grant a license to bow hunters who meet a strict set of requirements, including a weapon proficiency test.
Once a hunter is cleared, they are given specific areas within the city they can bow hunt.
Wilf said this helps reduce the population within the city limits – in Oxford he's seen hunters take 60 to 80 deer each season – and also instill fear of being hunted into deer who have been living in the city for generations.
"The deer have walked up into people's yards and seen people on their porch for years without being shot at."
Currently Oxford is the only city with the control program but Wilf said he expects other cities to sign up as the deer population continues to move into neighborhoods.

PRICE - Don Clinton Johnson, age 85, passed away at his home with his beloved wife at his side on Aug. 21, 2010.
Don was born June 6, 1925 to Albert and Phyllis Bishop Johnson. On Feb. 1, 1948, he married Eunice Chidester, the love of his life. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.
Don was a proud veteran of World War II. After serving in the United States Army, he returned to Carbon County and worked in several Castle Valley coal mines until retirement. He was a retired member of the United Mine Workers of America.
Don was a hardworking, dedicated family man who loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren unconditionally. At the time of his death, he was excitedly awaiting the arrival of two more great-grandchildren. Although not overly demonstrative, he was a truly generous man who provided emotional and financial assistance without reservation.
Don possessed a keen sense of humor and an amazingly strong spirit. He brightened the world with his quick wit and cheated death on numerous occasions with unwavering determination. He refused to succumb to physical weakness until he could leave his earthly existence behind on his terms-at home with his wife and family nearby.
Don is survived by his loving wife, Eunice Johnson of Price, along with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who filled his life with joy until the end. The survivors who will miss him deeply include Lynnda Johnson; Donni, Jens, Elizabeth, Kathryn and MacKenzie Nielson; Jaimi Hillman; Larry and Susie Johnson; Tracee, Jeremy, Ainsley and Zackary Thornton. Klint, Janet, Liberty and Charlotte Johnson; Courtney, Shiloh, Kinsey, Ella and Court Johnson; Kimber and Eric Christensen; Sherrie, Gabe and Christopher Vlamakis; Kelly Johnson-Dunn; BrookLyn, Ted, Shayley and Nicholas Cartwright; Joseph and Kelly Dunn; Esther and Larry Marinoni; and Pam, Rick, Lyndsie, Parker, William and Kaytlin Davis. He is also survived by a special nephew, Norris Wiseman. He mourned the loss of four beloved grandsons, Stephen Vlamakis, Brady Davis and Christopher and Nicholas Dunn. He was also preceded in death by his siblings, one sister and three brothers.
A viewing is planned Friday, Aug. 27, 2010 from 7-9 p.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home, located at 233 East Main in Price. Don's funeral is scheduled Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010 at 10 a.m., at the Price Third LDS Ward Chapel, 303 West 500 South. The family will be at the church Saturday one hour prior to the service. Burial will be in the Cliffview Cemetery in Price. Friends are welcome at Mitchell Funeral Home daily and may share online memories of Don at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net
Without the medical expertise of Dr. David Nichols, the family would have been robbed of precious time and lost Don years ago. He sincerely appreciated the care and consideration provided by nursing and medical staffs during his stays at Castleview Hospital and Parkdale. The family members are also grateful to Rocky Mountain Hospice for enabling them to grant Papa Don's wish to spend his last days at his home.

Matthew Cock, British Museum
I was intrigued to read in a recent article in the Guardian newspaper (A Hitch in time) about Rescue the Hitchcock 9, a major campaign by the BFI to restore all nine surviving silent films by one of the greatest directors of all time, Alfred Hitchcock. It drew my attention because one of these is Blackmail (1929) whose climactic chase sequence was shot at the British Museum.
With three of the films, including Blackmail, the BFI have the original 'camera negative' – the very film that passed through Hitchcock's camera. These, according to the Guardian, will be "fed through a digital scanner, copied using a cold light source, with each of the 100,000 odd frames given a unique number. Once in the digital realm, stored as images of 4096×3112 pixels (about double the current release-print standard), the films are subjected to careful cleaning and minute analysis for colour balance".
My first reaction was to wonder what the restored film would reveal of the interior of the Museum 82 years ago. I did a few searches online to see if I could find out more about the scenes, and soon discovered that Hitchcock's filming of the British Museum wasn't as straightforward as it might seem. Because the chase sequence wasn't actually filmed on location at the Museum – it was filmed at Elstree Studios using a process invented by the German cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan and refined while he was working on Fritz Lang's Metropolis, completed only two years earlier.
Hitchcock talked about the filming in an interview with Peter Bogdanovich for his book The Cinema of Alfred Hitchcock in 1963, and explains the process.
Bogdanovich asked him:
"Was the chase through the British Museum shot there?"
"No, it was all process. You see, there was never enough light in the British Museum, so we used what is known as the Schüfftan process. You have a mirror at an angle of 45 degrees and in it you reflect a full picture of the British Museum. I had some pictures taken with half-hour exposures. I had nine photographs taken in various rooms in the museum and we made then into transparencies so that we could back-light them. That is more luminous than a flat photograph. It was like a big lantern slide, about 12 by 14. And then I scraped the silvering away in the mirror only in the portions where I wanted the man to be seen running, and those portions we built on the stage. For example, one room was the Egyptian room, there were glass cases in there. All we built were the door frames from one room to another. We even had a man looking into a case, and he wasn't looking into anything on the stage. I did nine shots like this, but there was barely any set that could be seen on the stage. The front office was worrying about when the picture was going to be finished. So I did it all secretly because the studio heads knew nothing about the Schufftan process. I had another camera set up on the side photographing an insert of a letter, and a look-out stationed at the door. When the big-shot from the front office would walk through, we would just be shooting the insert of the letter. They'd go on through and I'd say, "All right, bring back the Schufftan." I did the whole nine shots that way. The chase on the roof was a miniature. We just built a skeleton ramp for him to run on."
It's wonderful to discover that Hitchcock used the latest special effects technology (replaced by matte shots and ultimately CGI and blue screen) to conjure up a virtual image of the vast and solid British Museum in a studio 14 miles away, to trick not only the viewer, but even the studio heads who funded the film.
Today the film conservators at the BFI, while using digital techniques to enhance the original images, in these sequences of Blackmail they are not revealing the real world, but in part the magic alchemical trick that is photography and film – where for a brief moment a virtual world was conjured up before the lens, using the same materials – glass lens, silver (on mirrors and as the basis of photographic film) and the creative vision of the maker.
This post is the result of some recent research I've done into films shot at the British Museum, which has resulted in a Wikipedia entry on the subject and a playlist on the British Museum's YouTube channel. Neither is comprehensive, and I'd welcome any contributions to either of them.
Do support the BFI in the project and make a donation to Rescue the Hitchcock 9.

The Emery High boy's basketball team is now 11-3 for the season and 4-0 in region 12 play after a 62-55 victory over the Delta Rabbits last Friday night in their lone basketball action of the week.
With their sixth straight win, Emery now sits atop the region as the halfway point gets here this week. Emery will travel to Manti this Wednesday night to play the Templars and that game will end the first half of region play. Emery will then host North Sanpete this Friday night as the second half begins. State playoff action is only three and a half weeks away.
This win over the Rabbits was not easy, and it really seems like they never are with this team. Emery started the game quickly and built an 11-5 first quarter lead only to watch it disappear at 11-11. Emery scored the last basket of the period to lead 13-11 at the break.
Delta took the lead as the second quarter began but Emery outdid the Rabbits in the period 16-12 to lead 29-23 at the half. Nevin Jensen, after three points in the first quarter, scored six more points in the second period to lead the team with nine first half points.
Emery continued building their lead through the third quarter with their biggest advantage being at 13 points when the score was 42-29. Balance team scoring in the period was it for Emery. TJ Furner played a key role when Emery's starters got in foul trouble and TJ scored four points in the quarter.
Jake Fortner added his second 3-pointer of the night to help the Spartans.
Delta outscored Emery 15-8 to start the fourth quarter and narrowed their deficit to 51-48 and then to 53-51 before Emery put the game away with clutch free throw shooting at the end. Emery went seven for seven in that period from the line led by Mark Guymon hitting four in a row.
Emery shot 48 percent from the field in the game from 2-point range while only hitting four of 12 three-point shot attempts. Emery was 14-19 at the free throw line while the Rabbits were nine of 14. Delta's post player shot all of their free throws except two in the third quarter.
Jensen led Emery with 15 points. Nevin also led the team with 10 assists. Colton Barnett scored 11 points in the game and pulled down nine rebounds. Barnett also had three blocked shots and came up with three steals. Furner also finished in double figures with 10 points and had a pair of rebounds.
Tanner Procarione scored nine points in the game while sitting with a sprained ankle part of the second half. Tanner also had seven rebounds in the game and also had three blocked shots. Jake Fortner finished with eight points in the game while coming up with a pair of assists and a couple of rebounds. Mark Guymon finished with only those four free throws for four points in the game but also had nine rebounds and three assists.
Also scoring were Derek Tuttle with four points and Ty Benson with one point.
