WHEATON – In his dual role of punter and kicker on the Wheaton North football team, Lake Bachar's leg proved to be a valuable commodity.
On the baseball diamond this spring, the senior showed his arm wasn't too shabby either.
Entrenched as the ace of the pitching staff heading into the 2013 season, the right-hander tossed a team-high 73-2/3 innings, tallying an 8-1 record with a save.
Bachar, who also played right field, likewise proved his worth at the plate, batting .342 with 35 RBIs.
"Lake had an outstanding season," said Wheaton North baseball coach Dan Schoessling. "We asked him to do a lot of things and he came through in every area. He produced on the mound, at the plate and also played a great right field for us.
"It was one of those things where if we were going to have a successful season, we needed him to have a successful season."
That is exactly how things played out as Bachar's all-around production played a role in the Falcons winning 27 games this season and reaching a sectional final.
"We had a really good team," Bachar said. "We had a really strong defense this year and a good offense, too. Plus, we had a really good pitching staff. It was a lot of fun."
Getting his start in baseball at the age of 4, Bachar would go on to play traveling ball with the Winfield Wolves. He also played soccer before switching over to football in the fifth grade.
A pitcher from the very beginning, Bachar said his thought process always has been the same.
"Just be as confident as I can be when I'm out there," he said.
Bachar will take that mentality with him when he continues his athletic career at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Originally headed there for football, he now has decided to play both sports.
"It's hard to give one up," he said. "I love both sports."
The recent graduate is walking into an outstanding sports program. The Warhawks have been in seven Division III national championship football games in the past eight years, winning four of them, while the baseball team finished with a 35-9 record this spring.
"I liked the competitiveness of the sports," said Bachar, who expects to go into a math or sports major. "And I loved the campus. Everything about it drew me there."
Here is the 2013 All-Area Baseball West team:
Lake BacharSchool: Wheaton NorthYear: Senior Along with playing good defense in right field, Bachar went 8-1 with a 2.09 ERA in 73-2/3 innings pitched and was selected as the Co-Pitcher of the Year in the DuPage Valley Conference. Offensively, he hit .342 with seven doubles, three home runs and 35 RBIs (second best on the team).
Tom CollettiSchool: Wheaton NorthYear: Senior Having missed virtually all of his junior season due to injury, Colletti's return to the lineup this year was a major storyline for the Falcons. Slotted into the No. 2 spot on the pitching staff, this senior went 7-1 with a 1.08 ERA in 51-2/3 innings pitched. He also hit .320 with a team-high 40 RBIs from the clean-up spot.
Will CornwellSchool: Glenbard SouthYear: Junior Though he cooled off late in the year after hitting over .600 for a portion of the season, this junior still had an outstanding campaign for the Raiders. Along with handling the catching duties, the left-handed hitting Cornwell batted .434 with 12 doubles and a team-high 32 RBIs.
Jake CousinsSchool: Wheaton AcademyYear: Senior This senior posted a 3-3 record with an ERA of 2.65 this spring, striking out 60 in only 39-2/3 innings of work. At the plate, Cousins hit .313 with five doubles, 11 runs scored and 10 RBIs and struck out only five times on the season.
Luke DomaskSchool: Glenbard WestYear: Junior In his first year on varsity, this junior did a great job of setting the table for the Hilltoppers. Hitting in the leadoff spot, Domask finished with a .381 batting average while compiling 14 stolen bases. A West Suburban Silver all-conference pick, he also played good defense in center field.
Matt FrawleySchool: Glenbard NorthYear: Senior This senior missed a couple of weeks on the mound late in the season but was still named Co-Pitcher of the Year in the DuPage Valley Conference. He finished with a 5-1 record, compiling an ERA of 1.47 while striking out 55 in 43 innings of work. At the plate, Frawley topped the team with 25 RBIs while hitting .289 with four homers.
Ethan GasbarroSchool: Glenbard SouthYear: Senior Featuring a fastball in the mid- to upper-80s, this senior posted a 2.05 ERA as the Raiders' staff ace, striking out 72 in 58 innings. Gasbarro also was a major contributor at the plate, batting .398 with eight doubles, two triples, two home runs, 23 RBIs and 32 runs scored.
Eric GiltzSchool: Wheaton Warrenville SouthYear: Sophomore This sophomore made quite an impression this spring, leading all Wheaton Warrenville South starters with his .358 batting average. The center fielder totaled seven doubles, one triple and a team-high five home runs while adding 32 runs scored and 19 RBIs. He also stole 12 bases.
Ryan KentSchool: Wheaton NorthYear: Senior A fixture at the top of the line-up for Wheaton North, this senior ended his outstanding high school career in fine fashion. The solid center fielder batted .347 with eight doubles, 17 RBIs and team-highs in both runs scored (39) and stolen bases (20).
Brandon KressnerSchool: Glenbard NorthYear: Senior Playing in all 31 games this spring for the Panthers, this shortstop finshed the season with a .364 batting average and .475 on-base percentage. Kressner tallied 11 doubles, two triples and one home run while scoring a team-high 26 runs and driving in 19. He also topped the team with nine stolen bases.
Johnny PeltzSchool: Wheaton NorthYear: Senior Hitting No. 3 in the Falcons' lineup, this senior led the team with 141 plate appearances. Peltz finished the spring with a .336 batting average, 11 doubles, three home runs, 33 runs scored and 21 RBIs. He also stole nine bases and made a smooth transition from third base to shortstop.
Jack PetrandoSchool: St. FrancisYear: Senior A major reason behind the Spartans' runner-up finish in Class 3A, Petrando contributed both as a pitcher and hitter. The right-hander went 7-1 on the mound with a 1.80 ERA in 39-1/3 innings. At the plate, he batted .353 with six doubles, 22 runs scored and 21 RBIs.
Ryan StortoSchool: Glenbard NorthYear: Senior A rare-three sport athlete, Storto ended his high school career in style. Playing first base for the Panthers, Storto hit a team-high .396 while also contributing nine doubles, two triples, a home run, 23 runs scored and 15 RBIs. He also struck out just six times in 111 plate appearances.
Jason SullivanSchool: St. FrancisYear: Sophomore One of the top sophomores in the area, Sullivan proved his worth this spring. Along with his duties at shortstop, he went 8-2 as the ace of the pitching staff, striking out 59 in 74 innings. Offensively, the sophomore batted .333 with three doubles, 25 runs scored and 14 RBIs.
Mike ZajacSchool: West ChicagoYear: Senior Though his final record on the mound might not show it, Zajac was one of the top pitchers in the DuPage Valley Conference this spring. Zajac posted a 2.98 ERA in 61 innings, allowing 60 hits while striking out 66. At the plate, he had two doubles, a home run and eight RBIs.

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
HOUSTON – William E. "Billy" Bowles built a lot of bridges between different factions in the Mississippi Legislature.
And with that in mind local government officials are seeking to have the Highway 15 overpass bridge at Highway 8 named in memory and honor of Bowles.
Houston Aldermen passed a resolution last week asking the Mississippi Legislature to designate the overpass as the "William E. 'Billy' Bowles Memorial Bridge." They are also asking the Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors to join in the resolution."
"Billy Bowles served the citizens of Houston and Chickasaw County for 20 years in the Mississippi House of Representatives," said Houston Mayor Stacey Parker. "Representative Bowles was known by his colleagues in the House of Representatives as a straight-shooter who always stood up for the rights of individuals and resisted the passage of bills that would infringe on those rights."
Bowles died on Sept. 23, 2012.
Bowles was elected to House District 22 in 1984 and served until January 2004. He served as chair of the Oil and Gas Committee and, as a freshman, was a member of the Transportation Committee and worked for passage of the historic 1987 Four-Lane Act.
When Bowles served, the district consisted primarily of Chickasaw County, but also included portions of Monroe and his native county of Lee. He was a graduate of Tupelo High School.
Bowles' philosophy was simple – find out what group wanted legislation passed and why and whether there was a monetary boon for any group if the legislation was passed. At the time of his death fellow lawmakers pointed out Bowles served in the Mississippi House with a healthy dose of mistrust.
Houston businessman and veterinarian Dr. James Boyer said Bowles was known as a leader in local causes, too.
"If someone saw their house burn or someone couldn't pay the light bill because his wife had been in the hospital, Billy was one who helped," said Boyer. "He was a behind-the-scene kind of guy."
Boyer also said Bowles was a friend of agriculture and was someone farmers could go to with issues and concerns.
"He ran a country store and people came and talked to him," said Boyer. "He knew how to listen and then he knew how to turn around and get things done."
Houston officials are hoping the resolution will be one of the first orders of business in the session when began last week. The resolution and paperwork will then be presented to the Mississippi Department of Transportation.

Ok I am picking up my puppy on the way back from Florida. We will be exactly eight weeks old and I will be flying him as carry on. I already have the crate, paperwork, and all that taken care of. The litter owner is placing a towel with momma and the sibs so I can put it in his crate.
What I am really trying to work out is timing of the actual travel. The flight is 2.5 hours non-stop. My goal is to get to the airport and wait until the last minute, depending on security and lines, to go through security. I will try to find as remote a location as I can to try to let him do his business (staying away from the dog walking areas of course). I would think he should be fine bathroom wise, but I am open for suggestion regarding this. I also plan to carry an extra hand towel and some baby wipes just in case.
Any suggestion on how to comfort him while on the plane? I know he is going to be scared and you are not allowed to take them out of the carrier. Has anyone done this? Can I place the carrier on my lap and just not open it.
I should get an upgrade because of my miles as long as business is not full so that will give us more room. If for some reason I don't I have booked a seat with extra room.

Chapter 4
Section 6. In marking situations, a handler shall not line a dog in the direction of any fall or gun station until all falls are down.
Once all marks are down and the handler/dog has been released by the judges, a handler may give the dog a line in the direction of any or all falls, provided that such lining is accomplished briskly and precisely. Conspicuously intensive lining suggests a weak marking ability and the dog must be scored low in Marking.
The handler of the working dog shall remain silent from the time handler signals for the first bird to be thrown until the Judges release the dog. (Bold and coloring for emphasis made by me)
The handler of the honoring dog may speak quietly to the honoring dog provided the handler does not interfere with other handlers, the working dog(s) or the Judges.
Note: While speaking quietly to the honoring dog is allowed, threatening gestures or any form of intimidation is not acceptable and shall not be allowed by the Judges.
The Regulations and Guidelines do not say "should", they clearly state "shall". No getting around that directive. Judges were completely correct in dropping the dog for the handler's error.
I'm not sure why you would gain respect for a professional trainer who was ignoring the Regulations and Guidelines. A pro should be mentoring his clients to follow the rules, not break them.

Training is not science, it is art. A blend of this, a measure of that, a deep breath at the appropriate moment and always a loving touch.
"Power is of two kinds. One is obtained through the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment." Mahatma Gandhi
This is crazy. Does this stuff really happen? It all seems pretty petty to me, what's the point? To make the judges feel bad? I have seen a lot of crazy test, extreme breaking test, over-under's, flower pots, tricky unfair test, etc, but unless I see some unsafe aspect to the test, I'll keep my mouth shut and give it a shot. If you see something that you believe is unsafe, the time to deal with it is when we are all up there getting ready to watch the test dog. Believe me, Judges don't want to hurt a dog and if they missed something that could, they will happily deal with it.
I don't know about hunt test, but in AKC field trials there are rules dealing with misconduct, a lot of what has been written here could easily be considered misconduct.
I just hope that if the pro made a protest at the expense of my dog that he'd at least find the decency to not charge me for a handlers fee AND to take my entry fee for the dog off my next months training bill......you feel like you have to protest go for it...but it'd better not be at the expense of my dog.
And if you gained respect for him for trying to say that the judges should have ignored a rule that's been known about since the dawn of time....that's on you.

As far as dropping the person for speaking after the handler called for the birds, could have been the nicest, most helpful judges in the world but their hands were tied. Similar to a no go on a blind. I have seen many cases where it was obvious that the dog was confused about whether it was sent on a blind, but the rules don't allow for judges to call it confusion, so dog is out. I have seen a lot of judges be douches and drop people for minor things that few would ever drop a person for, but this is cut and dried.

JACKSON — A winter storm system left 2 to 4 inches of snow in parts of central Mississippi on Thursday morning before heading east toward Alabama, the National Weather Service said.
Meteorologist Daniel Lamb in Jackson said areas of East Mississippi would be under a threat of snow until about noon in central counties and 11 a.m. in some northern counties. Dark clouds gave way to sunshine in western Mississippi at midmorning.
Lows Thursday night were expected to dip into the mid-20s, but Friday's high would be 50, Lamb said.
The storm left around 3 inches of snow on the ground in the Jackson metro area, with two inches northward through the Yazoo City and Grenada areas and to the east around Starkville an inch or so, Lamb said.
He said the snow would melt off quickly once temperatures rose in the upper 40s.
The last time central Mississippi got at least 2 inches of snow was in February of 2010 and areas north of Jackson had decent accumulations more recently. Areas of north Mississippi got some snow in November and December of 2011, but less than 2 inches.
Gov. Phil Bryant allowed state offices to open at 10 a.m. Thursday. The Legislature was scheduled to meet.
Lamb said the snow would end from the west to east about midmorning Thursday in the Jackson area and by noon in the eastern Mississippi.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation continued to warn drivers of ice accumulations on Interstate 220 and Interstate 55 bridges in Hinds County and snow was reported on bridges and roads from the Delta to east Mississippi.
"MDOT personnel are monitoring the weather and will take necessary measures to keep Mississippi roadways safe," officials said in a news release. "Motorists are encouraged to drive slowly and use extreme caution while traveling in these areas."
Areas in south Mississippi were expected to get more rain Thursday before a gradual clearing off.
Many schools systems in central Mississippi had delayed opening until 9 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. after the snow was expected to end.
Entergy Mississippi reported 1,856 customers without power early Thursday. Most of them — 1,173 — were in Hinds County and others scattered among Adams, Madison, Quitman, Sunflower, Warren, Washington and unspecified areas.

The E-Collar (formerly Einstein) 300TS Mini Educator Remote Dog Trainer system is a medium range trainer loaded with unique features making it the most humane and effective trainer available. 100 levels of "blunt" stimulation provide an effective sensation that causes no harm to the dog. 3 programmable modes of operation and an adjustable sensation booster allow you to customize the Educator to fit your exact training needs.
The Mini Educator features an adjustable boost level (Levels 1-60), allowing you to tailor the level of stimulation to suit your dog's temperament. (A boost of 1-20 is generally sufficient for smaller dogs; 20-60 is ideal for larger or more stubborn dogs.) The Lock-and-Set safety feature reduces the risk of over-stimulation by letting you lock in the correct level for your dog. E-Collar's unique Control of Stimulation (COS) technology utilizes a clean, reliable tapping sensation that eliminates the head jerking often scene with other remote collars.
The tapping sensation employed is similar to vibration, but more intense for more effective stimulation. The stopwatch style transmitter has an ergonomic shape that fits right in your hand; you don't even have to look at the remote, allowing you to watch your dog. The night tracking light is controlled by the transmitter, allowing the user to flash or continuously light up the collar receiver for locating your dog after dark. Lost transmitter beeper can be turned on to help locate a misplaced or lost transmitter. The transmitter even floats! All parts and components are assembled in the USA.

Chocking or suffocating felling in throat all the time: this can occurs previously, then a ENT advised a liver infection. After that I am fine but this feeling starts again, so tell me, what can I do.
Hi, Thanks for your question on Lybrate I do understand your concern As per your clinical history please check your breathing rate per minutes and if it is less than 20 breaths per minutes then it may not be due to respiratory tract rather check GI tract ,so do an endoscopy examination first to see the passage between mouth and stomach to ruled out Esophageal Stricture. Hope that helps

My father is suffering from cerebral sinus thrombosis. They have blood clots in superior superior sagittal sinus & right transverse sinus. 15 days ago, they came across stroke, after stroke we had hospitalized them. Doctor gave him treatment of LMWH & now he is on xarelto for min. 2 years. Doctor said he have deficiency of protein C & S. And told us to check clotting status after 3 months. Now he is able to walk ,speak, and do all other activity as earlier. But still I need second opinion. Is possible to get reed of this clotting through operation or current treatment of Anti coagulation is right for them. Please suggest some specialist.
Homeopath, Anand
According to. Me,anti coagulation therapy is going ok. You should start homepathic anti coagulants along with main treatment. It would support the treatment as well as increase immunity and would bring fast recovery. Also homeopathic nerve tonics are quite effective in such type of chronic cases. Include omega 3 rich food good for brain like walnuts, dates, avocados also give protein rich food like nuts, legumes,lentils (dals) etc.

I am having vertigo issue I think. I feel dizziness for most of the time and vomits. Not able to stand or walk it remains till I sleep for some hours.

I also had sudden hearing loss before but it is cured as per medical prescription from hamdard medical institute delhi. Pls advice some medicine to get rid of vertigo. Thanks.
General Physician,
If your vertigo comes from your left ear and side: Sit on the edge of your bed. ... Quickly lie down on your back, with your head on the bed (still at the 45-degree angle). ... Turn your head halfway (90 degrees) to the right without raising it. ... Turn your head and body on its side to the right, so you're looking at the floor

Anyone here try to sheild their children from the harsh realties of life??
If so.....you a racist!!!!!
Like I said earlier, it's just a word you left wing progressives use to denigrate someone that scares you!!
As a former landowner in east-central Miss and someone who has harvested thousands of doves, dozens of deer and few ducks in Miss, most had to do what they had to do in the 60's.
When the public school system was intergrated, white citzens across the state set up private schools. The private sector financed their schools and tax funds went to support the public system.
The Gov. spent millions in new state of the art schools. Yet, thier performance is still not what was provided by the private sector.
A classic case of Government to big because a forced merger of cultures would have been extremely violent and counter-productive.
Public schools across the south are a mess and the government doesn't know how to fix it they just know how to throw money at the problem.
Where there is a will, there is a way and the solution doesn't lay within the Fed Gov. when it comes to education!
I never used the word horrific to describe his comments. They were not. But, comments dont have to be horrific to support racism. His praised the White Citizens Council for their role in the integration of Yazoo City schools, as if they had been a force of good during the civil rights struggle. When asked why Yazoo City was perhaps the only municipality in Mississippi that managed to integrate the schools without violence. Barbour said:
Because the business community wouldnt stand for it, he said. You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town. If you had a job, youd lose it. If you had a store, theyd see nobody shopped there. We didnt have a problem with the Klan in Yazoo City.
What he continently omitted was they did the same to anyone, black or white that signed the petition for integrating schools in Yazoo City. Council members fired signers of the petition, or prevailed upon other white employers to fire them. Of course they denied using any economic force or physical intimidation. All they did was provide information (a full-page ad in the local paper listing the offenders); spontaneous public feeling did the rest. As a result, 51 of 53 blacks who had signed the original integration petition withdrew their names and/or were run out of town, had businesses boycotted, and insurance policies cancelled. One member of the Yazoo City Citizens Council, explained, if a man works for you, and you believe in something, and that man is working against it and undermining it, why you dont want him working for youof course you dont.
The White Citizens Council also established a private, segregated, white only academy which still exists today, so their white kids would not have to go to public schools with black kids.
Now, this same organization of community leaders did go on record opposing the Klan by saying, your Citizens Council was formed to preserve the separation of the races, and believes that it can best serve the county where it is the only organization operating in this field. Sounds like a swell bunch of guys. Is it any wonder Barbour admires them so much?
Then, there was the picture of Barbour that appeared on the website of the Council for Conservative Citizens (successor organization to the White Citizens Council). The website also contained such articles as In defense of racism. The picture was taken at one of the groups fundraising barbeques. When there was media uproar over it, Barbour denied any knowledge of CCCs racist activities. But, he also refused to ask them to remove of his photo from the site.
Then, early last year, there was his response to the uproar over how the history of slavery was conspicuously omitted from Virginias Confederate History Month. Barbours comment was, To me, it's a sort of feeling that it's a nit, that it is not significant, that it's not ait's trying to make a big deal out of something doesn't amount to diddly". I wonder if it didnt amount to diddly to those who were enslaved?
Based on this, how could I vote for Haley Barbour? In my place, would you? Do you think he would help me, or help those that would hurt me?
In the south, you won't see to many well adjusted white teenagers in the public school system. There are some but they are overwhelmed by the Hip Hop thing. They way they dress, act and speak is not what one sees at the all white private academys.
I veiw it more as a preservation of culture than hate.
It was a lot more than "just labels."
It is a preservation of culture, but the culture is one of hatred.
I've been all over the southeast and have spent all but a couple of years here. In 2011, there is no such thing as seperation of the races. We all work together in daily life. Dine at the same restaurants, attend any school WORTH attending, sporting events where white folks wear jerseys often of black athletes, hospitals, thearters, you name it.
But, a parent has the right to send thier kids where they want to for school. And, if that parent doesn't want thier child overwhelmed with Hip Hop and the lifestyle that goes with it, then more power to them.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
ADAM WEINBERG: You could think of this 1968 sculpture by Robert Smithson as a kind of landscape. It's comprised of a sleek metal box filled to the brim with large rocks taken from a site in New Jersey. On the wall nearby, you'll see a written text by Smithson, explaining exactly where he found the rocks. For centuries, artists have depicted landscapes. But Smithson reinvents the tradition by physically putting the land back into the landscape. And in a related gesture, he brings the outside world into the art museum. Smithson was acutely aware of how a specific environment conditions our perception of an object—if we encountered this pile of rocks sitting by the side of the highway, we would almost surely regard them differently. Smithson was born and raised in New Jersey. He called this work a "non-site" work. And in more ways than one, the work is noteworthy as much for what is not there, as for what is. For one thing, Smithson is having some fun with the stereotypical perception of New Jersey as a cultural backwater, especially compared to New York—the center of the art world. New Jersey is a "non-site" in the sense that it is perceived as a marginal, unimportant place. In another sense, the piece is a "non-site" because it's very physicality reminds us of the place we are not—the place from which the rock was taken.

Cheap Flights to Brisbane
Are you looking forward to going to a new place this summer? Tired of visiting the same old place? Well then it is time to make a visit to Brisbane. Brisbane has a lot to offer even for the most discerning tourist, and there are plenty of cheap flights available to this nice city. The best part is that cheap flights to Brisbane can be found during any time of the year. So what is there to do once you arrive in Brisbane? The following are some fun activities to do in Brisbane.
Go for a walk at South Bank where you will get see and visit many small shops and vendors. There are also many cafes and restaurants in this area. If you like boats then go for a ride on a ferry on the Brisbane River. This is an excellent way to see the city from afar. There are also trips available to the Lone Pine Koala bear reserve, where you can take a closer look at these furry friends native to Australia. Other places to visit for nature would be Moreton Island where it will be possible to see dolphins up close. Are you into climbing? The go for a climb on Story Bridge, which is over 250 ft in height, another great way to have a look at the city from above.
All right, so now you have made plans to visit Brisbane. So when is the best time to book air tickets to this city. Like many other places in Australia the peak travel season is from December to February. This is peak summer season which means you will need to book at least a month or two in advance to take advantage of cheap flights to Brisbane. There are several low cost carriers operating today, such as Virgin Blue, where it is possible to get cheap flights to Brisbane at almost any time of the year. However, just to be safe it is always better to book a little in advance.
Whenever you look for cheap flights to Brisbane, or anywhere for that matter, there are other tips that should be followed. The best thing to do is to be as flexible as possible. This means do not be stubborn about the time of day to travel. Sometimes the cheapest tickets can be found with late night flights. Also, be flexible where you fly to. In many cases making a connecting flight will be cheaper. For example, flying to Sydney or Melbourne first and then taking a connecting flight could save you money. Last but not least, flying in the middle of the week instead of on the weekends will surely get you cheap flights to Brisbane.


text: They ARE hot spots. Not burns from contact (assuming collar is being used correctly), not allergies but irritation from friction which can be from the collar being too loose, and /or dirt that can get between the contacts points and skin. Dogs that tend to have sensitive skin are more apt to get them. Sometimes they out grow it as they mature, sometimes not. Bark collars can cause them too. Hot spots heal pretty quickly. You can shave the hair or not, wash with a antiseptic soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply a topical antibiotic, betadine or yes, gold bond powder. Try to keep them from scratching and watch for a secondary infection. In the future, rotate the side collar is wore on throughout the day, remove it when you rotate and clean off the prongs, and use the shorter prongs. You can also take a sock, cut off the toe, roll it back so tube is double thickness and slide collar through so that it acts as a buffer between the prongs and neck area during longer wear like hunting. I have one girl who is 8 and she gets at least one a year during hunting season.

Whoop dee firping doo! What a month so far. I haven't written in so long, so I'll spare the world any updates. The news, as it stands, are:
a) d-fensive is profitable, thus much more likely to survive. After oozels of months, doing what we were best in and doing it damn good, we finally convinced enough companies out there, that we're a legit and damn professional company. Well, fact of the matter being, we're looking at quite some future here :)
b) Computerworld ran an article on wireless airline security and mentioned me a few times. Coolio!
c) My hate-page has moved somewhere else. I am sad, that stuff kinda made my day everytime I got around reading it (and running it through babelfish for my local friends to read :)
d) Someone puked in our frontyard last night
And, I finally converted the last machine in this system to BSD. No Linux spoken here, anymore, except for a development system for my Z and the Z itself. The hard part was not so much to convince the others but to get those Linux systems to work until we could migrate fully. Linux and GigE just don't match well :(

This table is presented for statistical comparison and is not intended to indicate operating margins.
Soybean meal is the most common and usually the most economical vegetable protein supplement, and contains 48% protein. It is produced using a solvent, or chemical process that separates the oil from the soybean. Domestic animal feed accounts for about 75% of meal consumption and the rest is exported.
Soybean oil is used in products including cooking oil, solvents for grease removal and metal cleaning, and hydrolic oil. It is also used in soy diesel products as a replacement for petroleum-based diesel fuel.
Yellow soybeans have yellow or green seed coats which in cross section are yellow or have a yellow tinge. According to the Federal Grain Inspection Service, No.1 yellow soybeans must test weigh at least 56 pounds a bushel, have less than 2 percent damaged kernels, and contain less than 1 percent of soybeans of other colors.
Figures used in the table are based on crushings and production of soybeans for and are verified by the Bureau of the Census. Data is presented for statistical comparison and is not intended to indicate operating margins.

By NEMS Daily Journal
The increasing need for action to upgrade maintenance on Mississippi's highways and honestly examine the urgency of completing highways already approved but funded only incrementally climbed to higher visibility this week.
Mississippi Economic Council CEO Blake Wilson told the House Transportation Committee that MEC has undertaken a year-long study of infrastructure needs. While he didn't commit support for raising the state's gasoline tax – the tact favored by Republican Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall – Wilson noted that MEC doesn't fund studies unless there's a belief that some action is required.
Mississippi's business community, strangled by an inadequate and crumbling highway system dating from the 1930s, in 1987 threw itself solidly behind passage of a four-lane highway program that passed – with higher fuel taxes. The result is a statewide system of four-lane arteries, although not all those highways envisioned under the 1987 program and a successor program called Vision21 have been fully developed.
The 18.4 cents per gallon tax adopted to build the 1987 Highway Program was the last state tax increase for highways. Hall, and others, say the levy has diminished in purchasing power over the past 25 years and is no longer adequate to build highways needed to develop economic potential and provide safer travel.
Hall noted that highway construction costs have risen 300 percent since 1987.
The new Mississippi Highway 9 from Sherman to Highway 6/U.S. 278 near Pontotoc cost about $90 million – approximately $9 million per mile for the 10-mile corridor. The contract was a design build plan, with expedited funding and time-based incentives, which was more expensive in the short term, but the costs support Hall's point.
The longer Mississippi waits to make a strategic decision to maintain and build adequate highways, the more expensive the needed roads become.
Old Highway 45 in Lee County became one of the first paved roads in the South in 1914, and even at the then unheard-of price of $8,100 per mile was an immediate success. Political leaders, business community and the residents got what they paid for – and wanted.
The same principle applies to highways in 2012, moving ahead.

3.21: Gene Therapy
Can doctors fix your DNA?
There are many genetic disorders that are due to a single gene. What if we could fix this faulty gene? With the development of gene therapy, that may eventually be possible for many types of genetic disorders.
Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is the insertion of genes into a person's cells to cure a genetic disorder. Could gene therapy be the cure for AIDS? No, AIDS is caused by a virus. Gene therapy only works to fix disorders caused by a faulty gene. The patient would have had this disorder from birth. Though gene therapy is still in experimental stages, the common use of this therapy may occur during your lifetime.
There are two main types of gene therapy:
- One done inside the body (in vivo).
- One done outside the body (ex vivo).
Both types of gene therapy use a vector, or carrier molecule for the gene. The vector helps incorporate the desired gene into the patient's DNA. Usually this vector is modified viral DNA in which the viral genes have been removed.
In Vivo Gene Therapy
During in vivo gene therapy, done inside the body, the vector with the gene of interest is introduced directly into the patient and taken up by the patient's cells (Figure below). For example, cystic fibrosis gene therapy is targeted at the respiratory system, so a solution with the vector can be sprayed into the patient's nose. Recently, in vivo gene therapy was also used to partially restore the vision of three young adults with a rare type of eye disease.
During gene therapy, adenovirus is a possible vector to carry the desired gene and insert it into the patient's DNA.
Ex Vivo Gene Therapy
In ex vivo gene therapy, done outside the body, cells are removed from the patient and the proper gene is inserted using a virus as a vector. The modified cells are placed back into the patient.
One of the first uses of this type of gene therapy was in the treatment of a young girl with a rare genetic disease, adenosine deaminase deficiency, or ADA deficiency. People with this disorder are missing the ADA enzyme, which breaks down a toxin called deoxyadenosine. If the toxin is not broken down, it accumulates and destroys immune cells. As a result, individuals with ADA deficiency do not have a healthy immune system to fight off infections. In the gene therapy treatment for this disorder, bone marrow stem cells were taken from the girl's body, and the missing gene was inserted into these cells outside the body. Then the modified cells were put back into her bloodstream. This treatment successfully restored the function of her immune system, but only with repeated treatments.
- ex vivo: Performed in an artificial environment outside the living organism.
- gene therapy: Insertion of genes into a person's cells to cure a genetic disorder.
- in vivo: Performed inside the living organism.
- vector: Carrier molecule for a segment of DNA.
- Gene therapy, the insertion of genes into a person's cells to cure a genetic disorder, can be ex vivo (outside the body) or in vivo (inside the body).
- Gene therapy is still in the experimental stages, but some trials have been successful.

Pumpkin-carving tools work really well for carving watermelon. If you don't have any, use a small sharp paring knife.
Carving a melon bowl is similar to carving a pumpkin. It takes a bit of time to carve it, but the bowl can be carved before the party, wrapped in plastic and refrigerated. The melon pulp you remove from the shell can be cut up and served with the other fruits in this festive bowl.
Step 1 Select a uniformly-shaped melon and wash it. Cut off the top 1/4 of the melon. Cut a thin slice from the bottom so the melon will sit flat, being careful not to cut into the red pulp. Scoop out the melon, leaving a 1/2 to 1-inch shell. Next, determine a design to carve. For a graduation, you might carve the year (as shown) or carve the graduate's name. Use stencils for the numbers or letters and trace them onto adhesive-backed vinyl-coated paper.
Step 2 Attach the adhesive pattern to the watermelon. With a small sharp, pointed knife or pumpkin carving tool, cut 3/4 of the way around each number or letter.

Cabbages & Kings was created by Alexandra Gizela after she gave birth to her first child. When searching for warm, fashionable clothing to dress her baby for winter she felt "bombarded with scratchy wools and lifeless fleeces." Gizela asked herself, "Why not design and make what I'm searching for? As they say- if you want it done right, do it yourself!" With regard to her collection she offers, "Customers will initially be drawn to the uniqueness of the line, but will ultimately be won over by the versatility and quality of each piece."
In addition to your kids looking great in Cabbages & Kings, you can feel great knowing that the company strongly supports fair trade with the goal of building bridges between treasured artisans and responsible consumers.

Discussion Smaller than House Wren; much shorter tail is often cocked. Unobtrusive and looks rather mouselike as it creeps through low vegetation after insects. Flies on whirring wingbeats, usually from one patch of cover to another. Extremely vocal and unseen birds are often detected by their distinctive call. Sexes are similar, but show subtle regional variation; eastern ssp. hiemalis is described here. (It is likely that the eastern and western subspecies will be given full species status in the near future.)

Even though I knew I was getting the Vader FX saber for xmas, I couldn't help checking the demo model of it and the Luke FX saber down at the local Sharper Image during some unrelated holiday shopping. The Vader saber had enough batteries to light up and make its correct sounds, albeit a tad dimly and quietly, but the Luke saber's batteries were apparently weaker as the sounds were badly garbled and the saber was rapidly blinking on and off - this didn't stop people from dueling with them though, as soon as I was done checking them out, some folks came by and started to hack at each other.
So here's where the strange comes in... the luke saber's blade - which is EL material (a thin paper-type stuff that glows when powered, the Indiglo stuff in wristwatches) surrounded by the plastic tube - had a couple holes in the EL around the middle of the saber, jagged little breaks, the largest one being about an inch in diameter. What I found odd was that these breaks didn't affect the rest of the EL around it at all, it continued to light up as normal even though part of it was missing. If this was a standard circuit, the breaks would cause the lights above it to go inactive, but that's not how it works I guess.
Anyway, this is a good reason why you shouldn't duel with your FX sabers, as nothing could be sadder than a lightsaber with a hole in the middle of the blade.

Former Secretary of States Colin Powell: He's not happy (AFP)
Ex-secretary of state Colin Powell called on the CIA and Pentagon to explain how he was given unreliable information which proved key to the US case for invading Iraq, the Guardian reported Wednesday.
Powells landmark speech to the United Nations on February 5, 2003, cited intelligence about Iraq leader Saddam Husseins bioweapons programme gained from a defector, codenamed Curveball.
But he has now admitted that he lied to topple the dictator, in an interview with the Guardian.
It has been known for several years that the source called Curveball was totally unreliable, Powell told the British newspaper.
The question should be put to the CIA and the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) as to why this wasnt known before the false information was put into the (report) sent to Congress, the presidents state of the union address and my 5 February presentation to the UN.

My son and daughter-in-law, both complain about this exact thing. The school district they teach HS in here in Az have been following this practice for some time now. Their complaints are two fold. 1) It is a tremendous drain on the district budget...1 teacher to 1 or 2 students and 2) Many of the students are perfectly capable of doing the work at their age level but have parents that want the easy way out and demand 'assistance' for their child ... and....they get it. They have no problem with children that need the help receiving it, but rather with those that are capable, requesting/receiving it.
A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer then the men who mention it.
The staff of these programs know they have the upper hand & will use that to enhance their stature. A staff member used to make it a habit of calling me when he knew I was at work & leaving his number. His ploy was to get me to return the call so he could say I had called him, & technically he would have been correct. I told my wife that if he called again to have him call me when I was home. He did, she told him & the phone calls stopped, so not very important. I don't have an issue with addressing special needs students, IMO it should be done in a separate specialized setting & fully funded by those who wrote the law.
But, it's not new.

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
no child left behind has become no teacher left standing. And if this catches on it will be no public school standing
My parents both teach and they say that the paper work they endure ensuring that all of the "disabilities" are adressed is driving more from the profession then any other factor.

June Constellations
At nine o'clock on June evenings (ten o'clock daylight savings time), face northwestward to see Leo the Lion plunging downward toward the horizon. Leo's bright alpha star, Regulus, is due west. The Great Bear, Ursa Major, most recognizable by the star group within its boundaries called the Big Dipper, is about halfway up the northwestern sky.
The northeastern part of the sky is dominated by the three bright stars of the Summer Triangle: Vega, the alpha star in Lyra (the Lyre), is highest; Deneb, the alpha star in Cygnus (the Swan) is toward the northeast; and Altair, the alpha star in Aquila, the Eagle, is somewhat lower and toward the east. Below and to the left of Altair is the distinctive, albeit tiny and dim, constellation Delphinus, which really does look like a tiny dolphin leaping the waves.
Low toward the north is the W of Cassiopeia, the Queen. Higher up is the Little Dipper (the constellation Ursa Minor, the Little Bear), standing vertically on its handle. The tip of the handle is Polaris, the North Star.
Face southeast to see Antares, the bright red star marking the heart of Scorpius, low in the sky. High in the southeast, near Arcturus (the orange alpha star in Bootes, the Herdsman), is the semicircle of stars called Corona Borealis, or the Northern Crown. Below the Crown to the east is the H-shape of Hercules.
Although Arcturus has just crossed the meridian into the southwestern quadrant of the sky, the rest of its constellation, Bootes, stands vertically overhead. Spica, the bright alpha star in the constellation Virgo, dominates the lower southwestern sky.

An acne outbreak is as painful to a 13 year old as to a 45 year old. Acne outbreaks can give you sleepless nights and a low self esteem. No wonder, the moment they have an acne problem, people rush to the nearest place or dermatologist to find something to get rid of it.
Although your dermatologist or sites on dermatology may tell you about the latest acne treatments and medicines, nothing works as well as nature. Most of these medicines come with many side effects which are as bad as the acne itself. Therefore, it's a good idea to first try the natural treatments before visiting a dermatologist.
Here are five acne treatment tips, which can help you to get rid of your problem in no time.
Acne treatment tip #1: Honey
Honey has been around from the times of Cleopatra and other ancient beauties. According to the historical records, honey was a great beauty remedy which helped in keeping the skin clean, clear and shining. The recent researches in the field of dermatology suggest that honey is

Our Counter Point folders offer almost all the same benefits as our Counter TAC boot knife series but in a smaller, lighter, and more easily concealed package. The blades are in a classic boot knife shape with long false edges and needle sharp points to guarantee the ultimate in penetration.
The handles of our Counter Points are also reminiscent of our Counter TAC's. They¹re injection molded from Grivory and have steel liners to enhance their strength and rigidity. They offer an unusually secure grip for their diminutive size. They're carefully sculptured and contoured with strategically placed holes to reduce weight, and they sport a unique thumb rest built into the butt, affording excellent purchase and a wide variety of grip options.
While no folding knife can ever hope to compete with a fixed blade boot knife in overall strength, our Counter Point folders come much closer than any competitor in their size range due to the revolutionary Tri-Ad® lock. Designed to withstand horrendous stress and strain, it shrugs off impact from any angle without fail and offers a huge margin of safety for your precious fingers.
To enable your Counter Point to be swiftly drawn and ready for action we have equipped them with fully ambidextrous pocket clips and thumb studs. Clipped to a boot top, pocket or waistband, the Counter Points are just about invisible and so light they truly can be carried 24-7.

Farming the Wind
Credit: Robert Lopez
Source: CK-12 Foundation
License: CC BY-NC 3.0
When you hear the word farm, you probably don't picture a surreal scene like the one above. But these tall machines are some of the 4000 wind turbines on Altamont Wind Farms near San Francisco, California. Are there wind farms in your part of the world? If not, there may well be in the near future.
Why It Matters
- People have been using wind power for thousands of years. Wind blows because of energy from the sun. It will always be available for people to use.
- As people try to develop energy sources to replace fossil fuels, they are turning increasingly to the wind as an option. The wind turbines on a wind farm generate electricity that can power homes and businesses.
- Watch this video to learn more about Altamont Wind Farms and how the wind is used to produce electricity: http://www.exploratorium.edu/tv/index.php?project=104&program=1383
What Do You Think?
Read about using the wind for energy at the link below. Then answer the following questions.
- What is wind? What causes it?
- People have been using wind power for centuries. How?
- How do modern wind turbines work?
- Why is Altamont Pass a good place for a wind farm?
- What happens to the electricity generated by wind turbines at Altamont Pass? How much electricity does each turbine produce?
- At the current pace of wind farm development, what proportion of the world's electricity needs will be provided by wind power by 2050?
- List pros and cons of using wind energy to produce electricity. What do you think? Should more wind farms be developed, or do their cons outweigh their pros?
