Sarah Executive Director/Vice President, Tactical Research Global Investment Research Division, London
These were people I could imagine working with for long hours at a time, and still enjoy socializing with them in the evening.
I received a BA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I joined the graduate recruitment program at a global consumer products company, but after about three years, I realised my real interest lay in finance. I investigated all the different areas within the industry and applied to a number of firms, including the graduate scheme at Goldman Sachs. In the end, I chose Goldman Sachs for its reputation as one of the pre-eminent financial institutions and the quality of the employees I met. These were people I could imagine working with for long hours at a time, and still enjoy socializing with them in the evening.
Looking back five or even ten years ago, I would never have thought I would end up in finance, let alone at Goldman Sachs. However, having tried a number of different industries, I realized that if I wanted intellectual stimulation and the support and opportunity to achieve more than I could ever thought possible, then this was the place to be.
Working in Global Investment Research
I work in the Tactical Research team within the Global Investment Research (GIR) Equity department. Our team creates fundamental investment strategies by leveraging stock, sector and macroeconomic views. We develop quantitative tools to help identify these strategies, which we then publish and market, both to internal and external clients. We also set up tradable baskets behind our ideas. Furthermore, we work very closely with the Directors of Research to institutionalize alpha generation across the Research division. My key responsibilities include attending the Investment Review Committee to discuss changes to stock ratings and price targets, staying on top of news flow, identifying new strategies and turning our ideas into published reports.
The most interesting thing about this is working from a number of big-picture, macro themes right down to the individual stock analysis. I sit in the middle of all the macro and sector data points and then try to analyze how this filters down into stock repercussions. The environment is forever changing, and as soon as you have identified one theme, it's often straight on to the next idea. Three years into GIR, I still feel like I am constantly learning, with no end in sight—which is inspiring but also somewhat daunting at times!
Career Development
I believe the culture of Goldman Sachs is all about challenging you to be the best you can be, whilst giving you the support that you need to achieve it. All my managers, both direct and indirect, have been incredibly supportive in giving me the opportunities and challenges I need to progress. I started in GIR in the Clean Energy sector team, and I got to meet the CEOs and CFOs of companies very early on in my career. I attended marketing trips to meet clients based all over Europe and the US to discuss our views and the latest industry developments. After nearly three years in Clean Energy, I was offered the opportunity to move to the Tactical Research team to get a broader market perspective and develop new skills.
The most rewarding part of my job is working with highly motivated and intelligent colleagues who constantly stimulate you to achieve more, more quickly and more efficiently. No one is ever too busy to help, no matter how junior you may be. I also love the ability in my current role to go from macro to micro, to look across all sectors or to focus on one or two stocks, and the wide breadth of people this brings me into contact with.
The most challenging part of my job is sifting through all the information that is constantly bombarding the market to try to identify what is really fundamental or game-changing. You have to be open to accepting when an idea is not working or when a successful idea has run its course, and then be quick to identify the next strategy to play out.

Program Review: Weatherization
This report, the latest in a series responding to the Act's mandate, updates and adds new information on the use of Recovery Act funds for the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program.
What GAO Found
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provided $5 billion to help low-income families by making long-term energy efficiency improvements to their homes.
Progress in Spending and Production Targets
As of September 2011, the 58 state-level grant recipients were awarded approximately $4.75 billion from the Department of Energy (DOE) to implement the Weatherization Assistance Program under the Recovery Act and reported spending about $3.46 billion (about 73 percent). DOE expects to meet or exceed its production target of 607,000 homes and spend most of the act's funds because some recipients have been able to exceed their production targets because of a lower average cost of weatherizing homes and lower training and technical assistance expenses than anticipated. In response to GAO's prior recommendation that DOE clarify production targets and funding deadlines, among other things, DOE officials provided documentation showing actions taken concerning targets but failed to provide clarification of the consequences for not meeting the targets.
Recipients Reported Fewer Implementation Challenges over Time
Most recipients reported experiencing more implementation challenges in the first year of the Recovery Act than in the third year. Initial challenges included implementing new wage and reporting requirements and balancing training and technical assistance requirements with production targets. In the absence of a spending deadline for the weatherization grant program, DOE established a deadline of March 31, 2012, for recipients to complete spending Recovery Act weatherization funds. Recipients reported concerns with completing final Recovery Act requirements by DOE's deadline, and continuing to support weatherization efforts after the deadline. Officials from state and local agencies reported seeking alternative sources of funding to mitigate the loss of federal funds. DOE weatherization officials said they requested a 2-year extension from the Secretary of Energy to allow some recipients, on a case-by-case basis, to spend any remaining Recovery Act funds after March 2012. However as of November 2011, it had not been determined if an extension would be available for recipients. In the interim, the Office of Management and Budget released a September 2011 memorandum stating that Recovery Act funds should be spent by September 2013.
Early Estimates Indicate Cost-Effective Energy Savings
A long-term Weatherization Assistance Program goal is to increase energy efficiency through cost-effective weatherization work. March 2010 estimates from an Oak Ridge National Laboratory study project that energy savings will likely exceed the program's costs, so that every $1 spent on the weatherization program for 2009 through 2011 would result in almost $2 in energy savings over the useful life of the investment; the laboratory plans to issue more definitive estimates in 2013. In response to GAO's prior recommendation that DOE revisit methodologies used to determine the most cost-effective work, DOE officials stated that the results of this 2013 study will be used to strengthen current protocols for determining the most cost-effective weatherization work.
Quality of Full Time Equivalent Data Has Improved over Time, and the Number of Full Time Equivalents Is Declining
According to GAO's analysis, the quality of full time equivalent (FTE) data reported by recipients to FederalReporting.gov has improved over time. DOE performs quality assurance steps on the data that recipients provide to FederalReporting.gov, and DOE officials reported that data quality continues to improve. According to Recovery.gov, the Recovery Act funded approximately 14,090 FTEs for the quarter ending September 30, 2011. FTEs are declining since the quarter ending December 2010 as weatherization work is completed.

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State and Central Arkansas have another rubber match, but the stakes are significantly higher this time.
The No. 14-ranked Bulldogs couldn't finish the job Sunday night in the NCAA regional at Dudy Noble Field, falling 5-2 to UCA in front of 10,226 fans.
The teams will meet again today at 7:05 p.m., with the winner advancing to the super regional round.
MSU (45-18) was again sloppy in the field, committing four errors. Two days earlier, State beat UCA 5-3 despite four errors.
The miscues led to two unearned runs for Central Arkansas (42-21). The Bears, who won two of three here in March, have all the confidence in the world and all the momentum going into tonight.
"We lost our identity, and that's disappointing, but we have another day," MSU coach John Cohen said. "If we don't learn from it, we can see an instant replay."
UCA got two unearned runs in the third due to two errors by MSU's shortstop, the normally sure-handed Adam Frazier. His throwing error to second base gave the Bears runners at the corners, and with the bags full, a sure double play turned into a two-run error when Frazier's throw to first base skipped wide.
"We weren't focused coming into today," said third baseman Sam Frost, who made one of the errors. "We were looking ahead and maybe didn't quite take them seriously."
Senior right-hander Ethan McKinzie (4-2) hurled a complete-game four-hitter for UCA. Just hours earlier, teammate Connor Gilmore tossed a four-hit shutout in a 3-0 win over South Alabama.
"Defense was working for me is what it was," McKinzie said. "I gave up five walks, but when I needed to I found the pitch."
MSU tied it in the sixth when Frost laced a two-out single to center field to score Brett Pirtle.
UCA broke open a tie game with three runs in the sixth inning off reliever Myles Gentry (4-1). Scott Zimmerle singled home a run for the lead, and then Justin Treece smashed a two-run double to left field with two outs to make it 5-2.
Awaiting the winner of tonight's game is Virginia, which won its regional Sunday by defeating Elon.
As the No. 6 national seed, UVA will host the super regional. The best-of-three series will begin this coming weekend at Davenport Field.

Microsoft's Forza Motorsport has always gone head to head with Sony's Gran Turismo - but the Xbox game has pulled away from the competition with its latest version.
Forza 4 makes use of the Kinect gesture control system, and though actually driving the cars with this won't reward racing sim fans, its use in Autovista - where you can explore high-res 3D renders of vehicles, and head-tracking during races (to give a more accurate cockpit-view driving experience) is impressive.
There's the usual line-up of hundreds of vehicles to drive - from tiny "F" class Micras, through to "R" class Le Mans weaponry, classic racers and bogan muscle cars. Car physics are absolutely superb, with both "normal" track driving and drifting feeling very responsive and controllable.
Game progression starts drivers off at a fairly basic level - although if you've got an existing Forza profile you'll get a Forza Faithful achievement, a bunch of cars and a good pile of credits for a nice head start.
As your driver level improves with experience, the types of cars and circuits available improve, and even include mini-games like Top Gear's famed car soccer or other Top Gear track fun like knocking over pins for high scores.
Graphically it's another step up, with clear and well-rendered environments to horizon and an impressively swift frame rate. Online options are plentiful, with cars that you modify uploadable for others to buy at auction, sharing of video and photo files and head-to-head racing.
A rivals mode lets you compete directly with other drivers, time attack style. This is the king of the racing sims on consoles - no doubt - with plenty to offer serious achievement-chasing virtual racers and pick-up-and-play arcade game fans.

What are you taking? If we synchronize our drugs I think I might be able to understand your incoherent rambling.Wow. Lots of negativity and doom and gloom folks. Kinda unpatriotic if you ask me. Yeah, right, you better lock up your guns just like under Clinton. The fear just doesn't seem to be working quite as well anymore, does it?
The last 8 years of the Bush Administration has left many things in shambles here and abroad. McCain had an incredible uphill battle and fought well. As far as I am concerned Bush cost McCain the nomination in 2000 and also he cost him this election.
If Republicans had actually been conservative in terms of world affairs, domestic affairs, and fiscal policy they may have had a chance. Instead all I continue to hear and see is hypocrisy. The debt and deficit are incredible, the economy just suffered an historically bad event, and the U.S. has lost standing and credibility throughout the world. All things the republican party proclaims to be against. Maybe people are starting to figure out this hypocrisy. No doubt that the Bush administration has dug this nation a deep hole on many fronts that are contrary to Republican principles (I know, it was all because of 9/11, yeah, sure.).
The "don't blame me" stuff is cute again. I still love to see those "W04" stickers too. Does anyone have a "Don't blame me I did not vote for Bush" sticker? No, non-conservatives will just leave it to Christian conservatives to pull the judgemental, vindictive BS. WWJD, right?
You know, Bush always said he was a "uniter" and now I see it just took him 8 years to unite many in this country against his political party. At least he lived up to that promise.
Now, come on let's hear some more about voter fraud, and stuff like "McCain did great despite the circumstances" and "given the circumstances Obama should have won by a lot more", etc, etc.
Oh, and Kevin, how was the "date". Did it live up to expectations? Do you think you will have a second date?
Need a cocktail regards,

Black Swan Lake, a private estate in Northern California's wine country, was the shoo-in setting for Breana and Scott May wedding. "Although we live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, I was born in L.A. and grew up visiting the Bay Area, and my dad collects Napa Valley wines, so I always dreamed of getting married there," explains Breana, 26, a nutritionist and chef. She had been working as a sommelier when she started dating fellow oenophile Scott, an old friend she hadn't seen since high school. Six months after the rekindling, Scott, a 29-year-old grad student and former chef, proposed: "He got down on one knee at the empty farmer's market and told me I was the milk to his cookies, the macaroni to his cheese." And just like that, their wedding theme of foodie matchups was born.

ESA Revision
Good morning,
On Thursday of last week (9/29) The House of Representitives passed bill HR3824 (The Threatend and Endangered Species Recovery Act of 2005) sponsered by Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Cal, rancher, and owner of Pombo Real Estate.Rep. Pombo has been pushing for years to re-vamp the E.S.A. (Endangered Species Act) because in his words it "Forces landowners to protect Plants and Animals" and "Is NOT successful in recovering Species"
"The E.S.A. is in desperate need of an update" says Rep. Pombo. "It has hurt species recovery by leading to the trend we all know as 'Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up' and it has hurt family farmers by taking their land away"
Bill HR3824 would;
*Repeal one of the most important parts of the E.S.A., that being the protection of Critical Habitat.
*Allow the manipulation of Science by letting the Secretary of the Interior (Gale Norton) to define "Best Available Science"
*Eliminate "Check and Balance" system between Wildlife Agencys when reviewing Federal Projects that could further hurt Threatend and Endangered Species
*Exempt Pesticides from review under the E.S.A.
Rep. Pombo tried this once before without success, when he attempted to rewrite the E.S.A. in 1995 with then Rep. Don Young, R of Alaska. That bill (HR 2275) had alot of the same attributes of this new bill, including a section demanding payment to landowners when the law might impact there property. The new bill seems like 1995's version wraped in a new package.
In '95, Biologist Laurie Mc Donald said "Protection of Habitat is the foundation for protecting Species"
(The light at the end of the Tunnel)
The Senates Enviromental and Public Works Sub-Committee has jurisdiction and is chaired by Sen, Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., who has serious missgivings about Pombo's bill, giving it a much less "rosey" outcome there. Sen. Chafee has plans to move forward with a bill of his own after he recieves recomendations from a study group working in Colorado.
I offer this quote from the original text of the E.S.A. passed in 1973;
"The purpose (of E.S.A.) is to provide a means whereby the Eco-systems upon which Threatend and Endangered Species depend may be conserved, to provide a program for the Conservation of such Threatend and Endangered Species, and to take such steps as may be appropriate to achieve the purpose"
I am in the process of writing to my local Reps. as well as Sen. Chafee urging them to take their time and carefully review what they plan in there policies and recomendations regarding any revisions that may be made to the Endangered Species Act. I urge you as fellow Sports Men and Women to do the same.

New Albany's season ends against Lafayette
The Bulldogs remarkable playoff run came to an end Friday night, as the battle of unbeatens went in favor of Lafayette, 35-0, at Kitchens' Field.
New Albany's defense held strong on the Commodores' opening possession, forcing a turnover on downs in the red zone, but several uncharacteristic miscues by the 'Dawgs' offense helped Lafayette jump to a 14-0 lead.
"In a game of this magnitude, you can't turn the football over," NAHS head coach Ron Price said. "We talked to our team this week that we're going to have to create turnovers, and that happened to us; we turned the football over. They did a great job turning turnovers into touchdowns and they just got going offensively."
Jeremy Liggins scored the first two touchdowns for the 'Dores after interceptions by Tyler Basil. Down 14-0, the Bulldogs started to put together a good drive before a chop block penalty knocked out momentum.
On the Commodores' next drive, Liggins fumbled inside the 10 yard line, but New Albany was unable to capitalize on the turnover, giving Lafayette the ball once more before the half, where they scored on a run by Jamel Dennis.
The Bulldogs' fourth turnover led to Lafayette's lone touchdown in the third, a Liggins pass to Brandon Mack, and Anfernee Gooch's 43-yard reception in the fourth sealed the win.
"They have a tremendously athletic football team, and they're undefeated for a reason," Price said. "You had two great football teams going at it tonight, and they just played better than us and proved that they're the better football team. Our kids gave us everything they had and got us to this point, they just came up a little short. Take nothing away from Lafayette, I hope they go on to the state championship, and it was a great season for our young men."
Basil finished 5-for-18 for 68 yards, while Josh Hardin was the top receiver with 41 yards. Kelvin Worship finished with 55 yards off 16 carries.
With the defense in tough situations throughout the night, Price noted the unit's strong points and effort.
"Defense played outstanding, and you can't contain Jeremy Liggins every single play," he said. "We had such a great start defensively, and on offense, we just turned the ball over and created tough situations. Defense was on the field a lot tonight, and we were asking a lot of them. I hate we put them in those tough situations and I hate that we created those, but we laid it on the line tonight and came up short."
Despite the loss, this has been a historic season for New Albany, posting the most wins in school history (13) while winning the Division 1-4A title and reaching the third round of the 4A state playoffs.
"This is what you dream of as a coach," Price said. "You dream of games like this, and the community of New Albany has been outstanding; you couldn't ask for anything more. The pep rally they had for us was outstanding, and we thank them for being behind us all season and for coming out and supporting us."
Price will part with 21 seniors, who have fought adversity since starting as sophomores in 2008. From 3-7 their first season to division champions, this group helped restore pride in the program while rallying the community this year.
"You can't really put into words how special this group of young men are," an emotional Price said. "We would not be where we are if it were not for these group of kids. They've given us everything they've had since their sophomore year, and I'm just so thankful that everything came together this year and clicked like it did just because they believed in us and what we were trying to do. I'm just thankful they got to experience this football season."
New Albany ends the 2010 season at 13-1.

Chiefs blowout Seattle, take over first place in U.S. Division
Spokane - The Chiefs continued their perfection at home in dominating fashion Tuesday night, walloping Seattle 8-2 in front of 3,524 fans at the Spokane Arena. Todd Fiddler scored two goals and Mike Aviani finished with four points as the Chiefs improved to 7-0-0-0 at home and 11-5-0-0 overall.
Spokane controlled the first period from start to finish, outshooting the Thunderbirds 13-5 while putting constant pressure on Seattle goalie Brandon Glover. Aviani got the scoring going on a power play goal at 9:21 off assists from Jason Fram and Tyler King.
King followed with a goal of his own at 10:25, firing a shot from the blue line past an unsuspecting Glover with assists from Dylan Walchuk and Collin Valcourt. After a penalty kill the Chiefs struck again, as Fiddler grabbed an errant past from the T-Birds and scored a breakaway goal at 16:11.
Carter Proft extended Spokane's lead to 4-0 a mere 15-seconds later on a shot from just outside the crease on assists from Mikulas Rimmel and Riley Whittingham. Liam Stewart capped the first period scoring with a goal at 17:21 with assists to King and Adam Heleweka.
The Chiefs wasted no time lighting the lamp in the second, as Fiddler scored his second goal of the night just 50-seconds into the period on assists from Aviani and Reid Gow.
Seattlegot on the board at 6:50 in the second with Luke Lockhart sneaking a shot past Eric Williams. Lockhart's goal was the last of the period as Spokane headed to the third leading the Thunderbirds 6-1.
Brenden Kichton opened up the scoring in the final period with a sniper shot from just inside the blue line on an assist from Aviani at the 9:59 mark. It was Kichton's 50th career WHL goal and 200th career WHL point.
Aviani tallied his second goal of the night at 11:25 with the help of a great pass from Gow to put a final exclamation point on Spokane's highest scoring game of the year.
Williams finished 21 of 22 on save opportunities while Garret Hughson was 4 of 5 in relief. The Chiefs went 2 for 3 on the power play and 2 of 3 on the penalty kill.
The Chiefs continue their six game homestand this weekend with their only match up of the year against Red Deer on Friday followed by a tilt with U.S. Division rival Everett on Saturday.

Does anyone have any experience with Solar panels? For the past few winters I have ran a 100 Ft extension cord to the dog kennel So I can use the heated water bowl to keep the water from freezing. It is a royal pain in th but and I usually ruin a cord a year (dog chews it, trip over it, or this year I took it out with the Christmas tree... don't ask ) Anyway I have really toyed with the idea of putting a solar panel unit on the roof of the kennel for the soul purpose of running the water buckets. In the warmer months maybe have a light out there that I could run off of it, but that would not be the primary use of it.
I am curious if anyone has set up this type of system, how difficult it is, how dependable it is and the expense involved.
Also how well do they do in cloud cover vs. bright sunny days? Cloud cover would be when I would need the power the most...

Microsoft Sees 24 Percent Increase in Windows Revenue, Drop in Profit

(Source: itsalltech.com)
Microsoft reported a 2.7 percent increase in overall revenue thanks to a small boost from Windows 8
Windows 8 didn't hit the ground running
the way Microsoft thought it would after the October 2012 release, but it did offer a small boost in the company's latest financial earnings report.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Microsoft reported a 2.7 percent boost in revenue to $21.5 billion from $20.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. However, the Windows maker saw a 3.7 percent drop in profit to $6.38 billion (76 cents a share) from $6.62 billion (78 cents a share) one year ago.
Microsoft saw a revenue increase of 24 percent in its Windows division to $5.88 billion (or 11 percent when adjusted for early sales of Windows 8) for the second quarter, which was the first to include Windows 8.
Microsoft didn't offer sales figures for its first homemade tablet,
Surface with Windows RT
. The new version -- Surface with Windows 8 Pro -- is expected to hit store shelves on February 9.
"Our big, bold ambition to reimagine Windows as well as launch Surface and Windows Phone 8 has sparked growing enthusiasm with our customers and unprecedented opportunity and creativity with our partners and developers," said Steve Ballmer, CEO at Microsoft. "With new Windows devices, including Surface Pro, and the new Office on the horizon, we'll continue to drive excitement for the Windows ecosystem and deliver our software through devices and services people love and businesses need."
Windows 8, which was released in late October 2012, was met with plenty of criticism for its massive redesign. However, many PC makers (such as Dell) were hoping that it'd be the saving grace for the PC market, where hardware sales had been declining over the years as mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) exploded onto the scene.
But many PC makers
didn't see a huge increase in sales
with Windows 8. And while Microsoft hasn't released sales figures for its Surface tablet yet, reports last month indicated that the new device took a sales hit due to
a lack of distribution
. Microsoft had only offered the Surface with Windows RT online and at Microsoft stores (and there are a little over 60 stores total in the U.S.).
In mid-December, Microsoft finally allowed
third-party retailers
to sell the Surface.
Surface with Windows RT also made its way to Australia in mid-December, and will do so in other countries in the following months.
Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that
60 million Windows 8 licenses were sold
. However,
60 million licenses sold doesn't mean that there are 60 million Windows 8 devices out there.
In today's financial earnings report for Q2, Microsoft also announced declines in its Entertainment and Devices division (including Xbox) of 11 percent to $3.77 billion and its Business division (including Microsoft Office) of 10 percent to $5.69 billion from a year earlier.
Microsoft's shares were down 2.1 percent in after-hours trading today to $27.63.
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Family Artistry
By Meredith McGroarty
Artist Lee Benson (BFA, '84; BS, '86; MFA, '90) remembers when his sons, Aaron (BFA, '09) and Zach (BFA, '11), used to play with the wood and clay in his studio. Now, more than a decade later, the three men are collaborating on their first professional project as a team—a public piece to commemorate the effects of the 2010 flooding in Nashville. Continue reading

On January 12, 2010, the Richter scale registered at 7.0 in Haiti, and aftershocks rippled deeply through local Caribbean neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Mattapan, and Dorchester. With cell signals severed overseas, many of the state's Haitian residents tuned in to Creole-friendly stations like Datz Hits 99.7 FM and Choice 102.9 FM in Dorchester. DJs on those frequencies helped dispatch messages from officials about public services and relief agencies. But unlike commercial radio and television stations, DJs like Junior Rodigan on Big City 101.3 FM in Dorchester also let callers use his platform to issue all-points bulletins for loved ones.
Even before the earthquake, radio had become vital to the state's burgeoning Haitian community — the fourth largest in the nation. More than 50 niche radio stations have popped up around eastern Massachusetts in the past decade, the majority of them packing an island flavor, local message, and intermittent signal. These frequencies advocate for ethnic communities that have been left voiceless. But they are part of the larger cultural fabric too; when Governor Deval Patrick needs the ear of Caribbean constituents, his staff reaches out to influential jocks like Rodigan, as do city councilors, service agencies, and state representatives.
Still, outfits like Big City and TOUCH 106.1FM in Roxbury — stations that many depend upon — are illegal. Operating without Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval, they are emblematic of a new era in what used to be called "pirate radio." Now, some of these stations are lobbying for official clearance to use public airwaves.
At the upcoming National Conference for Media Reform (NCMR) in Boston this weekend, one planned action issue will be the fate of broadcast airwaves, and who has the right to inhabit them. Even policy makers at the FCC, which regulates and busts so-called pirates, recognize that major change is needed. In a speech last December, FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps conceded that certain communities receive an inadequate share of local news from commercial stations, which will now be made to undergo a "public value test" upon renewal of their license. Indeed, according the Benton Foundation, a media-reform nonprofit, minorities own just seven percent of TV and radio stations (and less than two percent of the latter) despite comprising a third of the population.
If there's any hope for unlicensed stations to go legit, it's the Local Community Radio Act, passed by Congress in December after a 10-year campaign by proponents of hyper-local radio. The Low-Power FM (LPFM) bill, as it's often called, will free up licenses for small, non-commercial stations operating at 100 watts or less — as compared to, say, WBUR, which broadcasts at 7200 watts. The new law could allow a proliferation of new stations, and give legal status to older ones.
However, details of how the legislation will be administrated are still hazy. And some experts say the measure comes too late, and with too little backbone.
"The whole thing is a game," says Nolan Bowie, a Berkman Center fellow who teaches public policy at the Kennedy School of Government.

Parallel Bible
A Parallel Bible will enhance your Bible study by making it easy to compare multiple translations of the Bible side by side. For example, read and analyze as many as four different translations at once in the NIV KJV NASB Amplified Classic Comparative Side-By-Side Bible, or focus on just two translations with NIV and The Message Parallel Study Bible. A parallel Bible is a great Bible study too which will help you experience scripture and its stories and text more fully.

We're Launching HHS' New Open Government Plan, Version 2.0
Today marks the two year anniversary of when HHS launched its first ever Open Government plan, which guided our efforts to make government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. Over the last several months, the Department of Health and Human Services advanced new ideas and initiatives that will take HHS's Open Government commitment to the President's objectives to a new level. The result is our new Version 2.0 of the HHS Open Government plan. There are several new initiatives about which I'd like you to know. I encourage you to see the many ways we are focused on open government principles. The Version 2.0 plan has three new flagship programs with completion dates in 2013 and 2014 that address open government principles across HHS agencies. The first is a new Innovation Fellows program recently announced by Secretary Sebelius. This program is designed to pair HHS employees with experts and entrepreneurs from outside government to solve some of the Department's toughest challenges. Another priority program addresses medical product development through multi-agency collaboration with academia and private sector research. This approach strengthens our capabilities to develop new health technologies which address our nation's most critical diseases and conditions. Our third priority builds on our highly successful health data initiative by focusing on new efforts to improve the quality of data and enhance our understanding and use of it. A number of new projects will improve the way our department works with the public to meet critical information needs. I encourage you to learn more about our new plan and see the diverse ways we are addressing transparency in government. From the start, we've asked the public to provide input and comment on our plans. So, thank you for your ideas and suggestions; I urge you to stay involved. Please continue to submit comments and provide us additional thoughts on ways we can improve upon our goals. From time to time, my HHS colleagues and I will provide you with progress updates and respond to your feedback.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are down a penny at $29.57, as the company approaches its fiscal Q1 report tomorrow afternoon, after the closing bell.
Analysts, on average, are modeling $27.2 billion in revenue for the quarter, and 85 cents per share in profit, and an outlook for Q2 for $26.9 billion and 89 cents. It's possible CEO Meg Whitman will offer remarks about the year outlook, which is currently modeled at $109 billion and $3.66 per share.
Wells Fargo's Maynard Um reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $32 to $34 "valuation range," writing that HP may be able to deliver a penny up side in profit, at 86 cents, "However, we believe rev could be light of Street's $27.2B and our $27.1B driven by a deliberate focus on profitability, particularly in PCs, offset somewhat by year-end enterprise IT spending."
HP may fall short of his $7.5 billion in PC revenues, perhaps by $200 million to $300 million, "given HP's strategy to focus on profits versus share." But he sees some brighter trends in services and in the company's operating margin:
We believe ES rev could benefit from the delay of the Navy Next Generation Enterprise Network (the current Navy-Marine Corp Intranet continuity of services contract was extended through Sept; while smaller since the Marines have moved off, we believe this has already been reflected since last summer) and expect margins to be in line to better than our 3.5% est. In Printing, we expect results to be largely in line given signs of stable demand and expect the company to manage margins (reinvestments and printer hardware share).
Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $31 price target, predicting HP will report slight upside at $27.3 billion on the revenue line, but perhaps miss on profit with 83 cents a share.
"While HP's PC share was relatively flat in CQ4, Gartner data points to solid x86 server performance, software has a very easy YoY compare, and our channel checks point to good pricing discipline," writes Sacconaghi.
"That said, investors should be prepared for weak cash flow (potentially
It's possible HP's free cash flow was a disappointment last quarter, he thinks:
While HP has guided for FCF of $6.0B-$6.5B for FY14, we expect FQ1 FCF to be relatively low and forecast FCF of $500 mil., or 31% of non-GAAP net income. This could reignite investor concerns around FCF, which were mitigated in FY13 by very strong FCF of >$9B vs. non- GAAP net income of $6.9B and original guidance of ~$5B. For Q1, we note that (1) FCF is typically seasonally weak due in part to bonus payments (Exhibit 7); (2) HP expects to front-load FY14 restructuring charges ($1.4B for the full year); and (3) HP has stated that its current CCC of 17 days is unsustainable – every 1 day change affects FCF by $230 mil. to $300 mil (Exhibit 8). Our $500 mil. forecast assumes $500 mil. in restructuring cash charges, net CapEx flat QoQ, and a modest 1 day reduction in the cash conversion cycle.
Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White, reiterating a Hold rating on HP shares, and a $23 price target, writes that the company may slightly beat his own $26.9 billion revenue estimate, and his EPS estimate of 84 cents.
"That said, it should be noted that we are projecting the sales cycle at HP to decline for the tenth consecutive quarter and our model projects this trend will continue through the end of FY:14," he writes.
To White, HP has to contend not only with a sluggish IT spending environment, but also competitors large and small:
We expect the overall IT spending environment to remain muted in 2014, while HP will now have to contend with a privatized Dell that we believe will have more lead way on pricing, the increased prevalence of ODMs in the data center and a more ambitious Lenovo that announced plans to purchase IBM's x86 server business in January. Also, next generation software vendors are showing momentum.

Christopher Clarkson to speak on Kennicott Bible, Feb. 12
Posted January 24, 2001; 12:17 a.m.
Christopher Clarkson, an internationally renowned consultant on the care of medieval manuscripts and bindings, will speak on Monday, Feb. 12, at 5 p.m., in 101 McCormick Hall.
The title of his lecture is "The Kennicott Bible. A Description of its Illumination and Conservation Problems."
The Kennicott Bible was copied by the famous scribe Moses Ibn Zabara in 1476 at the commission of Isaac, the son of Don Solomon di Braga of La Coruqa in northwestern Spain. The illuminations were executed by Joseph ibn Hayyim, almost certainly a kinsman of Abraham ibn Hayyim, who composed a treatise on illumination in the 1460s. The manuscript -- a treasure of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England -- is housed in an extremely rare, highly decorated and contemporary morocco box binding.
Mr. Clarkson will describe aspects of the Bible's parchment pages, text and illuminations as well as the construction of the box binding and of its conservation problems.
For further information, contact Robert Milevski at (609)258-5591.

Family: Bufonidae, Toads view all from this family
Description Brown-reddish-olive. Sometimes patterned. Brownish/orange warts. Underside spotted. Dark throat on males.
Dimensions 5.1-11.1cm. (2-4 3/8")
Warning Toads have enlarged glands (called the paratoid glands) on the side of the neck, one behind each eye. These glands secrete a viscous white poison that gets smeared in the mouth of any would-be predator, inflaming the mouth and throat and causing nausea, irregular heart beat, and, in extreme cases, death. Toads pose a danger to pets, which may pounce on and bite them. Humans should take care to wash their hands after handling a toad, and to avoid touching the mouth or eyes until having done so.
Subspecies Eastern - 1-2 warts. Manitoba province, Louisiana through n. Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, ne. Kansas towards Canada.
Voice Musical trill. Lasts 30 seconds.
Breeding March-July.
Habitat Grassy yards, forested mountains.
Range Manitoba-Labrador & Maritime Provinces & New England Canada. Also Gerogia, e. Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin.
Discussion Nocturnal. Diet mainly insects. Occasionally hybridised with Woodhouse toad.

In Southern California all the clubs do double junior, double senior and a master as routine. All the clubs shoot a live flyer in the land series and a live flyer in the water series for ALL levels (junior,senior,master) and both days. I am trying to get some of the clubs to shoot a live flyer in all 3 series of master, maybe spring?
The way it is now no dog in junior or senior has to retrieve a duck in the water series that was in the water before it was thrown for that dog. Typically all the birds from Saturday are given away Saturday night except for a few to start senior (blinds) and master 20-30 of the best ducks before any are given away.
Getting gunners to use correct chokes is probably our biggest problem now. Once we explain to gunners blowing ducks apart and shooting the heads off cost the club money they get it though.

I can't say for sure, but I have had the feeling this season that I have seen more events start with thawed frozen birds than in the past. It would make sense, given the cost and the shortage around these parts at any price. I have not noticed that the birds are any worse on Sunday than in the past, so clubs are probably following culling those birds ASAP. I have seen it done in the first series, in fact, so that by the second the birds are pretty nice.
It seems to me, clubs that put up a tent for judges to sit under and have the bird dryer under the tent and out of the sun tend to have better birds on sat. afternoon and sunday. I understand that there are somethings that you just cant control so mushy ducks to me is not inexcusable - if your dog is properly FF then they will pick up the bird - they may not like it but they will pick it up and bring it back.

At the next hunt test you should be at the equipment shed to help rack the birds so they will dry overnight and be in good shape for the next day. I know my club tries very hard to have good birds at the start of all our tests. Mary Veitch

I didn't say it was a test I even went to, so it would be hard for me to help them rack birds. I didn't accuse any club, especially yours. Just some rumors I have been hearing.

We usually shoot our birds before the event, usually cost the club more to keep them alive & feed them. Still we never use them and freeze them fluffy, take them out Fri to thaw & keep cool overnight. As they've been allowed to cool, These bird usually last and stay fluffy longer than the shot flyers. When it's hot, birds that haven't been allowed to cool quickly go to junk, fresh shot or not. So they're mainly frozen birds, but they're very nice fluffy frozen birds. Sat evening birds are collected dried (yes dried and fluffed ), bad birds tossed, then they're placed in trailer to hang, and cool. If needed we'll pull out a couple of bags of fluffies from the freezer, and thaw.
Still I don't believe bird quality has anything to do with whether they were frozen or live shot, it's how many times the same bird gets retrieved and how those birds are handled through out the day, if you put a bird steward at each stake to fluff and dry you can keep birds very nice for mulitple retrieves, multiple days. If you keep throwing the same wet carcasses over and over they quickly go bad.

I think that the condition of the birds at an AKC licensed event should be of the utmost concern to the registry...........with the blind eye approach to the abuses of the regs relative to the availability of two live birds per entry ,It does not appear to me that it is.

We use all fresh dead birds and have 2 AC units in the equipment building to hand them over night. We do all we can to get JR. fresh birds on Sunday. I've not attended a HT where frozen birds were used to my knowledge.

Guest post: Hema Caramel & Biscuit Candybar Mini
May 6th, 2013 by Neil
Here's another guest post from ex-pat friend Neil! ~Rosa
A staple of Dutch towns is the HEMA department store. I dither on its American equivalent. K-Mart? Target? Everything there is their own brand, from clothing to sausage to the carpet cleaner.
Often, when you ask a Dutch person "Where would I buy a…", the answer is "HEMA". I discovered recently that they have candies I'm curious about. To that end, I bought a huge bag of mini caramel & biscuit bars.
Each bar is about 3 inches long. The form is your basic, chocolate-covered candy bar. It turns out it is tough to cleanly eat these.
[Note from Rosa: Do these individually wrapped chocolate bars remind anyone else of wrapped tampons?]
The chocolate flakes fall, the biscuit crumbs drop, and the caramel threads stretch. This mess is the least of the bar's issues.
The chocolate taste simultaneously involves acidity and salt. The caramel falls flat, flavorwise. And the biscuit is there for just texture, it seems.
My officemate may have put it best when saying that this is trying to be a Twix, and failing miserably. They've become an office snack for when I'm desperate for sugar but not discriminating on any other level. These rate a —.

Some of the prettiest places we visited in Vietnam were often near or on the water. My favourite was in Ha Long Bay (a Unesco world Heritage Site). We went on a boat cruise and were glad that we paid for a good one. It was magical, relaxing and absolutely spectacular. The boat was a riot! We did however manage to crash into another one on our way out to sea. Again, the driving here?
We met the greatest tour guide called Viet. He was kind, with a very gentle personality and the boys loved his company... another one on my list to adopt. Viet had so many stories to tell us about the Vietnamese religions, and their folk tales. After each meal, we sat together and I wrote quickly to record his thoughts. Please take into consideration that he spoke with a heavy Vietnamese accent and that my mother tongue is French. Something could have been lost in translation...Ouen l�
In Ha Long, a mother dragon descended upon its bay to prevent the enemy from invading and to protect its people. The dragons in Ha Long have five claws and fly on the wind and the clouds but have no wings; unlike other dragons from different regions. The mother dragon brought rain and water for the survival of its people and created the Bay and allowed the mountains to rise up from the sea.
Here, the dragon is made from parts of eleven different animals. Viet could only recall of nine since this story had been told to him when he was a young boy... if you saw him, you would think he still looked too young.
According to legend, the dragon's horns come from the deer, the teeth from the tiger, the eyes from the eagle, the whiskers and skin from the carp, the hair from the lion, the claws from the phoenix, the mouth and tail from the crocodile, the feet from the turtle and the front horn from the unicorn. Dragons are a symbol of luck, protection and strength.
Another mythical, spiritual and sacred animal is the turtle. Its carapace represents the sky and its body the earth. It is the perfect symbol for balance; Yin and Yang. The turtle and the crane are good friends as one has saved the life of the other. During a flood, the crane stood on the turtle and survived, during a drought, the crane flew away by carrying the turtle elsewhere They can not survive without the other ...creating another Yin and Yang relationship. Balance is very important in the Vietnamese culture, it is seen everywhere from buildings, to religion, to medicine, to tales. It is the foundation of their entire universe
During the evening of the cruise, we went fishing under a full moon. We did not catch anything as the sky was lit up by a beautiful round white sphere. We clearly saw the rabbit in the moon.
Hoy An
Also worth the trip there. Small streets adorned with historical homes and buildings - a lot of French influence. Best place for tailors, silk and great food!
Mui Ne
Great little beach town, friendly staff; the bartender performed magic tricks for the boys. Food was inexpensive, especially across the street from our "chalet" and the geckos very happy. Saw a very special Blue Monk.
An attractive and lovely city. There is about 1000 years of history here and much of the past few century old buildings are still well preserved - a lot of French is still spoken here. We met a seamstress/designer who owned her own store and who also works as a translator when dignitaries come to Vietnam. She was Jean Chretien's translator on one of his trips here as we saw on a picture on her wall. There are a lot of little lakes set inside the city. It did remind me of Paris around les Bois de Boulogne.
The restaurants cook up wonderful meals.

Dir. Richard Attenborough
Down on his luck magician Corky (Anthony Hopkins) finds success when he introduces a ventriloquist's dummy into his act. His doll Fats seems to have a mind of its own though and spookily exerts control over Corky. When Corky seeks solace in the countryside and begins a relationship with his high school sweetheart Peg (Ann-Margaret), Fats takes matters into his own murderous hands...
With a script by William Goldman and director Richard Attenborough at the helm, Magic is indeed a classy affair that exhibits a surprising amount of nuance, subtly and stellar performances - especially from a young Anthony Hopkins. This is after all a movie about a killer doll. Isn't it? The film successfully juxtaposes the bizarre with the mundane, and mixes elements of psychological horror with the blatantly supernatural. This is highlighted perfectly in the opening shots of a cluttered flat full of bizarre bric-a-brac that sit alongside everyday household objects.
Corky is a struggling entertainer who fails to even hold the attention of his audience, let alone convince them of his talents. He returns home downcast and defeated. We then cut to several months later and suddenly Corky seems to have emerged as a strange overnight success. His burgeoning reputation leads to him being offered his own TV show. Bizarrely though – and in the first indication that all is not what it seems with Corky and Fats – he refuses this opportunity because he will have to undergo a medical exam. He flies into an unhinged rage when his agent Ben (Burgess Meredith) tries to make him see sense. Fleeing to the countryside, Corky rents a secluded and rustic lakeside cabin from his high school sweetheart Peg, and at this point the narrative begins to chart the rekindling of their relationship. Adding to the uneasy tension however is the fact that Peg is now married.
Magic is positively peppered with bizarre and creepy moments. The quiet scenes, in which Corky converses with Fats when they are alone, are immensely creepy. While Corky appears to be a kooky eccentric, there is nonetheless a genuinely dark and worrying slant to his character due to the privileged vantage point we see him from. Something very sinister is obviously afoot. When Corky arrives at the cabin Fats begins to call out from the suitcase he's been stuffed into. Everything remains ambiguous until the films final moments - is Corky insane? Or is Fats really alive and bumping off the cast?
An already tense atmosphere is gradually brought to boiling point when Ben tracks Corky to the cabin and, after he walks in on Corky and Fats having a full scale argument (Awkward much!), confronts him in an unbearably intense scene. After attacking and seemingly killing Ben, Corky must now dispose of the body in a protracted and taut sequence of events. A wonderfully macabre shot of Fats 'watching' from the window of the cabin, framed in darkness, is sufficiently chilling. When Peg realises that Corky is faking a phone call and that her husband has disappeared the tension becomes almost too much. The final shot of the film as Peg races to the cabin clutching the wooden heart Corky left for her is spine-chilling, nasty and will perhaps even induce a nervous chortle before the ramifications sink in. The last glimpse of Peg's contorted face is totally shocking.
Magic boasts top notch performances from all involved. Hopkins seems gentle, charming and quite timid: even before Hannibal Lector came along, he was already convincing as a softly spoken, gentle mannered PSYCHO. As with other similar films such Dead of Night, Pin and Devil Doll, the uncanny appearance of the actual ventriloquist's dummy is where much of the tension comes from – as we constantly wait for it to move - so lifelike and yet, not lifelike.
Interestingly the film touches on a number of aspects of ventriloquism no longer really associated with the art. Nowadays it is associated with entertainment and the subject of creepy old movies (ho-hum!) – however in pre-Christian times ventriloquism actually originated from the practice of necromancy. All along the audience are led to believe that what they are watching is a character study charting the mental disintegration of a man who is coming to terms with newfound fame and success and he is eventually driven mad by it. However when one views Magic from the perspective that Corky has perhaps been dabbling in black arts and occultism, it throws yet another fascinating layer into the mix and ensures the film retains an appeal that endures after multiple viewings. It is testament to those involved in the making of Magic that this revelation never feels like a cop out.
Check out Ventriloquism: A Disassociated Perspective by Angela Mabe – a paper that charts the origins of the act of ventriloquism from its roots in necromancy.

Extending Educational Opportunties
The Division of Extended Learning & Outreach (DELO) was created in 2003 to provide customized learning opportunities to meet specific needs.
DELO is the outreach arm of the University, offering both credit and noncredit classes to students of all ages. DELO also works with businesses and organizations to provide customized training, plan special events, and develop degree programs that meet specific needs. The following units are part of this division:
• Distance Learning
• Academic Outreach
• Continuing & Professional Development
• Conference Services
• Study Away
Distance Learning
Distance Learning is an exciting and rapidly growing method of connecting students to higher education. The benefits to students are numerous, including flexible locations and flexible schedules. Distance Learning encompasses online student support, Independent Learning classes, faculty support services, and the campus testing centers.
Academic Outreach
The Office of Academic Outreach is home to credit programming in the Division of Extended Learning and Outreach: Dual Credit, Cohort Programs, Online Program Services, and Summer Sessions/Winter Term. The Office supports WKU's academic departments with student recruitment and program administration to reach students through online, off-site, and other outreach programs.
The Cohort Programs unit creates college credit programs by partnering with business, industry, and community groups to develop customized courses, certificates, and degree programs that meet their needs. These programs are designed for a specific number of students (a Cohort) that move through the program coursework together.
The Dual Credit Program is a partnership with area high schools to offer qualified students the opportunity to earn college credit as part of their high school curriculum. Dual Credit courses are offered at area high schools during regular school hours by WKU faculty or by high school teachers who meet all accreditation standards according to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Select online courses are now available to high school students as well.
Summer Sessions at WKU offers many convenient courses that can be completed online, at the Bowling Green campus, and at the WKU Regional campuses. WKU Summer Sessions is available to all students, whether they are just starting college, are close to graduation, or just want to pick up some summer college courses.
Winter Term was first offered at WKU in January 2006 as an optional three–week session in which students can take up to four credit hours. WKU Winter Term offers general education classes as well as electives for both undergraduate and graduate students. Classes are available face-to-face at the Bowling Green campuses and at the WKU Regional Campuses located in Elizabethtown/Radcliff/Fort Knox, Owensboro, and Glasgow. There are also study abroad opportunities during Winter Term, and many classes are available online.
Continuing & Professional Development
The new unit of Continuing & Professional Development resulted from merging the former Center for Training & Development and the Office of Continuing Education. Based on feedback from community leaders and internal WKU leadership, these two former offices have been recently renamed Career and Workforce Development and Lifelong Learning, respectively. Career & Workforce Development administers professional development, workforce training, and career development programs. Lifelong Learning will oversee non-credit personal enrichment programs.
Conference Services
WKU Conference Services offers options for event venues such as the recently expanded Knicely Center and the new Augenstein Alumni Conference Center, along with a comprehensive event planning department. Services include assistance with planning and coordinating every aspect of an event, large or small.
Study Away
The Study Away program, created in 2010, provides off-campus courses that enable students to apply the lessons learned in the classroom in a practical, hands-on setting. Students in the Study Away program earn WKU credit in courses taught by WKU faculty. Examples of Study Away courses are Fly Fishing in Montana, Storm Chasing through the Plains, and Life and Literature of Chicago. Study Away provides support for Faculty-led Study Abroad in partnership with the Office of Study Abroad & Global Learning. Through the National Student Exchange, students can challenge themselves in a new setting to add to the college experience by studying for a year or a semester at another university within the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Anniebell Marrngamarrnga is a Kuninjku woman from Maningrida, in western Central Arnhem Land. Her moiety is Yirritja and subsection Bangardidjan. In her work Marrngamarrnga frequently depicts animals such as the crocodile that lives at Kubumi, and most often the yawkyawk spirit.
In the Kuninjku/Kunwok language of Western Arnhem Land yawkyawk means 'young woman' and 'young woman spirit being'. The Kuninjku people have various yawkyawk stories, which
relate to specific locations in clan estates. Yawkyawk are female water spirits who live in freshwater streams and rock pools, and are usually described and depicted in bark painting, sculpture and some rock art, as having the tail of a fish and long hair (associated with trailing green algae, man-bak in Kuninjku). There are interesting parallels with the European (and other) mythology around mermaids.
In Kuninjku mythology the creation ancestor yawkyawk travelled the country in human form and changed into spirit form as a result of ancestral adventures. Certain features of country are equated by the Kuninjku with body parts of yawkyawk, for example, a bend in a river or creek may be said to be the tail of the yawkyawk or a billabong may be said to be its head. Like much ancestral and creation mythology the yawkyawk stories link clans and language groups across country.[1]
The people of Arnhem Land are well known for their beautiful fibre objects, which are an important part of everyday and ceremonies. The fibre art of Maningrida is some of the finest in Australia; its forms and techniques have been around for many thousand of years and that knowledge has been passed down through generations. Some of the distinctive fibre objects of the Arnhem Land region are coiled baskets, dilly and string bags, fish traps and mats, most of which are made by Aboriginal women.
The activity of making fibre objects is a very social one, involving women and children in the community. The most commonly used fibre is the pandanus (Pandanus spiralis).For weaving, the only part of the pandanus collected is the new leaf growth found at the top of the tree, which is only in season at certain times of the year, usually during and several months after the monsoon season. The natural dyes used are collected from the roots, leaves, berries and barks of local flora. The process of collecting fibres and native dyes, and then dyeing and drying the fibres takes days.
Marrngamarrnga uses a combination of colour and pattern in her work, often featuring reds, purples, oranges and white to create contrasting patterns and shapes that complement the woven form. The yawkyawks begin as a bamboo frame with strips of pandanus leaves finely woven from the outside in, until segment by segment the body and features are created. Many of Marrngamarrnga's forms are quite large, demanding much time and skill.
Marrngamarrnga's fibre art is innovative, playful and stunning. Her woven sculptures breathe new life into the rich traditions of her Kuninjku culture, bringing it to a world audience.

Vic found these baby raccoons other than curiosity he had no other interest. Seems to be a dog mostly interested in feathers particularly of the turkey variety.
We later practiced a setup so he could practice quietly holding still while I called. After making a few raspy gobbler yelps a gobbler showed up coming within a few yards of us clucking his head off, all the while Vic kept laying with his head down, eyes dilated with excitement, the only thing he couldn't help was his tail vibrating as would a rattler's.
My camera was in my pocket, with the gobbler so close there was no way I could get it out. (dumb move on my part[:@])
