Alternate name: Leatherback Sea Turtle
Family: Dermochelyidae, Leatherbacks view all from this family
Description Teardrop-shaped carapace, not bony. A large pair of front flippers power the turtles through the water. Like other sea turtles, the leatherback's flattened forelimbs are adapted for swimming in the open ocean. Claws are absent from both pairs of flippers. Front flippers can grow up to 2.7m (9ft). Plastron on males concave.
Dimensions 1.27-2.13m. (50-84"). Weight: 272-727kg (1,600lbs)
Endangered Status The Leatherback is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Alaska, Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. This is one of the most critically endangered species in the world. Its flesh is not generally eaten, but the Leatherback was killed in the past for its oils, which are of cosmetic value. Its eggs are prized, and much of its decline can be attributed to the poaching of its eggs and the disturbance or destruction of its nesting grounds. Individual Leatherbacks sometimes mistake plastic bags and other litter for their favorite food, jellyfish, and ingest them, often with fatal results.
Breeding Nests April-November along Florida coastline. Normally lays eggs between 9pm-12pm. Digs a 3' deep cavity. Lays 50-170, 2-2 1/2" (51-63mm) eggs. Multiple clutches laid in 10 day cycles. Hatch after 8-10 weeks.
Habitat Open seas.
Range Pacific, Indian and Atlanti Oceans.
Discussion Most hydrodynamic body of all sea turtles. Largest in existence. Jellyfish is the main source of diet. Flails its flippers when captured. Once hatchlings reach the water they are rarely seen again until they are mature.

So it's looking like I'm going to be in Western Kentucky (Hopkinsville, Cadiz, Murray) for the week leading up to Christmas and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in getting together to do a little duck/goose hunting or training while in the area?
Normally when I'm up there this time of year I deer hunt but haven't been able to shoot my bow enough lately to feel comfortable taking it out. Since I'm missing out on a week or so of hunting in Maryland I wanted to make up for it a bit. I'm planning on bringing all of my gear with me with the exception of my boat and decoys just due to space. I'd be more than happy drive a ways to meet up as well as helping with gas and buying a meal or two.
I'm not trying to take anyone's spots or anything like that. It's nice to try and meet up with people from on here if the opportunity arises.

Back in a dream — symbolizes the strength of man, his strong-willed character, confidence, determination, ability to defend their interests, to oppose, to achieve the intended. All this, of course, the characteristics of strong and beautiful back in the dream. But there are also nuances.
To stand or be behind someone, to have a protector, patron. Same can be said about the character of «someone's back to you», such a position relative to the character of the dream means that the person does not care about your problems.
Another thing, if the plot of the dream you had his back turned, in a sense, turned away. This symbol means that you do not listen, do not hear, do not perceive and has lost interest in you, so communication between people. Often indicates a fracture in the relationship.
If in the dream someone someone on the back, this situation symbolizes an emergency care. Depending on the presence of a feeling of heaviness or awkwardness such a situation, you can judge how that person or character of sleep, who «gave his back».
A Pat on the back — a gesture of calm and harmony with man.
Kiss in the back — a sign of love and care. Protection, patronage and intercession, if kisses strong or weaker depending on the situation, who needs help.
Shot, shot, shot in the back — betrayal.
If back visible wounds or bruises, abrasions, — the dream means that the character of the sleep will have trials, sometimes of deprivation.
Any burden on the back — for difficulties.
Beautiful and strong back of a man in a dream — a symbol of confidence, protection and support in any situation.
Smooth, beautiful, healthy, strong back in a dream — a symbol of prosperity, confidence in the future, secured and peaceful life until old age.
If anyone pushes in the back in a dream, is a sign of hurry, don't miss your chance, now's the time!

I got out this past weekend, and managed to scout a little. Okay, by scouting I mean I went out to my Thoughtful Spot and drank coffee until the sun came up. Occasionally, I'd slip around to the front porch and sit there for a while.
The result? Nothing. Usually there are 2-4 flocks that fly down within earshot of the house. Right now, there's a big zilch. The past two years have been like this: I don't start hearing turkeys until the last two weeks before season.
I did see a flock Saturday afternoon, down in a creek bottom a few miles from the house. That again matches the pattern of the past couple of years. They seem to want to stay in the bottoms close to the river until just before season and then come up only after the pastures green up. My guess is the reason is our acorn crop has failed pretty bad the past couple of years, and there is little for them to eat up on top of the ridges during the Winter.
In good years, I can be out anytime over the winter and listen to Flydown from the house. Later in the morning I can usually spot of flock or two out in the pasture. They come out in the open and peck their way across the field , usually crossing from one side of the ridge to the other.

By Blake Long/Special to the Journal
INGOMAR – Defending Class 1A state champion Coldwater finally showed Blue Mountain a full court press that it could not crack.
Coldwater's defensive pressure resulted in 27 turnovers by the Cougars and a 75-51 victory in the 1A North tournament quarterfinals.
"I've told them the past day-and-a-half when I knew we were playing Coldwater that we had to handle their pressure," Blue Mountain coach David Mason said. "Our guards at times handled the pressure and at times they didn't."
Ball handler Ismael Reudas had two men on him constantly and was sometimes triple-teamed. Blue Mountain (28-5), the Daily Journal's eighth-ranked team, also had a cold night shooting.
The Cougars were held without a 3-point basket in the second half until Wyatt Whaley drained one with 1:23 remaining in the game.
Reudas was the only Blue Mountain player in double figures with 13. Fellow sharp-shooting guard Jacob Girley was held to seven points.
Coldwater (26-3) pulled away in the fourth quarter to end the best season in Blue Mountain history by outscoring the Cougars 26-11. Earlando Blair scored 21 points for Coldwater.
No disappointment
"For a school that five years ago won three games, there's nothing to be disappointed about," Mason said.
(B) Biggersville 70, Ingomar 62: A little extra studying after church on Wednesday helped No. 3 Biggersville prepare not only for the Falcons, but for the atmosphere in Ingomar as well.
"There's no harder place to play than right here in this gym. I believe that," said Lions coach Cliff Little. "But our fans were just as big tonight."
Jaylon Gaines and Daniel Simmons each scored 25 points for Biggersville, while Henry Foster led Ingomar with 21.
"Our defensive intensity was the difference," Little said. "We had a couple of missed assignments, but for the most part we played super hard and I was just very proud of them."
The Lions play Coffeeville tonight at 6 with a second straight berth to Jackson on the line.

The latter is my concern. We had a lecture / lab on building a echo server in C which i got most of I guess. But now I'm not sure how I'm suppose to mold this to help me network my game.
The game is developed using a scripting language developed by the college (which has heavy hints of C++).
I'm not looking for you guys to 'do my homework for me' I'd just appreciate some step in the right direction.
If you need to know anything just let me know.

| Topic: Christians, Jews and Muslims in between
Posted: 01 April 2005 at 7:42am
Jews were persecuted all over the Christian world for allegedly killing Lord Christ for nearly 2000 years. Between 8th to 17th century, the Jews were taking refuge within the security of Muslim world. However, since the 19th century the Jews have turned the table, as they say. Now theyre brain-washing the Christians to believe that Jews are not their enemies, but its the Muslim world.
However, some of recent Christian scholars are not buying such Jewish deception any more. One of such scholar is Mark Glenn, who in his book "No Beauty in the Beast...Israel without her Mascara." Show the evil hands behind this conspiracy.
Some extracts from the book could be read here:

Artists have toiled for millennia to capture the essence of true love. Alibi readers have done it for the past five years with ease.
In the weeks leading up to Feb. 14, our offices fill with professions of undying admiration, heartfelt pleas for forgiveness and downright begging for some "special" attention (none of it aimed at Alibi employees, thankfully). These tokens of eros are mailed (or walked) to we messengers of Cupid for the Alibi's annual Valentine's Day Card Contest. Using talents bestowed upon us by Aphrodite and the Muses, we select the most creative and inspirational to be reproduced in this, our most sentimental of issues (nevermind the themes of death and mutilation that kept cropping up in this year's entries).
Many thanks to fellow judges Christie Chisholm, Marisa Demarco, Laura Marrich, Simon McCormack, Devin D. O'Leary and Jesse Schulz for their help sorting out the victors. All winners will receive perfect-date prize packs available for pickup at the front desk of the Alibi office (413 Central NW), Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Or call 346-0660 ext. 255 to discuss delivery options. Cheers to all who participated—we could feel the love.
Anthony Carpenter's Valentine's Day card made of seared flesh stole the judges' hearts immediately. Who can say no to love-meat? Really, who? Anthony's use of a sliced deli ham (vacuum sealed—our judges' nostrils thank you) to proclaim his hampy appreciation of Valentine's Day gave us a hankering for love ... or a sandwich. Anthony will receive two tickets good for any show at the Guild Cinema, $20 in Hinkle Family Fun Center gift certificates, $50 for eats at the Calico Café and a $10 gift card to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We hope this hot-date prize package helps you seduce someone into loving your ham as much as we do, Anthony.
Jonathan Perea, you freak us out—in a good way. Perea's blood-lusting bunny Valentine's Day message is one of unconditional love, no matter how gruesome. A few of the judges were slightly alarmed by the blood-like splatter on the inside of this card, but we all agreed Perea's hand-painted creation is well-executed and unsettlingly adorable. For second place, Perea will get two tickets to the Guild Cinema, $20 in gift certificates to Hinkle Family Fun Center, $30 to the Calico Café and $10 to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Kisses ... and stab!
Zombie love. Aaaah, how romantic. The next time a zombie tries to eat your brain, focus on the bright side—the foul creature could be your soul mate. Michelle Miller's valentine resembles those "traditional" cards passed out every year by children in elementary schools across the U.S., an attribute the judges appreciated for nostalgic and practical reasons. Michelle gets two tickets to the Guild Cinema, $20 in gift certificates to Hinkle Family Fun Center, $10 to the Calico Café and $10 to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for her third-place win.
We received a number of collage entries covered in glitter, lipstick kisses, feathers, press-on fingernails and bits of Alibi issues. The judges had a hard time choosing which glue-slathered card was the most appealing, but finally picked Richard Martinez' all lust and no love cut-and-paste beauty. For fourth place, Richard will receive two tickets to the Guild Cinema, $20 in gift certificates to Hinkle Family Fun Center and $10 to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

text: We're guaranteed a new Aragorn (hard to avoid spoilers, based on the name of the third movie and all). I can see them creating Eowyn and maybe a new Arwen depending on how they go with the final battle. A new, armored or battling Witch King Ringwraith, the required Mordor Infantry orcs, etc. Should be a nice assortment based on the improvements made between FOTR and TTT. Im also looking forward to seeing how the blue packaging looks, I have a "hue" in my head and can't wait to see how close I am!

Took this photo as Sam was getting her make up done for Prom, and I love the look. Seeing her leave for Prom, got me to think of the Celine Dion song Come to Me. That song has always made me cry, but last night it effected me even more.
I will always love you, no matter what
No matter where you go or what you do
And knowing you you're gonna have to do things
your own way, and that's okay.
So be free, spread your wings
and promise me just one thing.
If you ever need a place to cry baby
come to me, come to me.
I've always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
if the world breaks your heart
No matter where on earth you are,
you can come to me.

I have been making this great simple carrot soup recipe for a while now. I use it a lot as a base soup and add to it various ingredients- cook green or ripe leftover plantains, cheese, psta sauce and even garlic. I stick a dried slice of left over bread, stick it in a thermo and , voilá! I am good for the morning and most of the afternoon. Strongly recommended!
A very simple but lovely recipe!
When our CSA basket is overflowing with delicious carrots in the fall, we make this lovely soup at least once a week. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and the results are always delicious. We use chicken broth and water and we usually throw parsley on top rather than nuts.
I've made this soup several time. I love it for being quick and light. Makes a great soup"shooter" for a party. Add a bit of maple syrup or brown sugar to the pecans when toasting.
Wasn't sure what all the buzz was about this soup. I made it with chicken broth but found it rather bland. Thought it needed more cumin and eventually added curry powder to liven up the flavor. It was good but feel there are more flavorful versions of this soup.
Quick, easy, flavorful. I made it as written and wouldn't change a thing.
This is a fabulous and easy recipe. I doubled the recipe and made it almost exactly as written, substituting chicken broth for water and swirling in a bit of creme fraiche at the end to finish. Very delicious, comforting and rich while not being heavy, and so fast! I used an immersion blender so it was a breeze to clean.
So easy and soooo good! I used chicken stock so it had more body. I didn't have pecans so I used toasted almonds which were good also. Everything else was as stated in the recipe. I will make this soup again soon, everyone loved it!
Really, really tasty and pretty simple to make. I used vegan margarine so that it was completely dairy-free. Didn't miss the butter at all.
Everyone liked this soup; most present had seconds; there was none left over. It's also very simple to make and doesn't call for a lot of ingredients. In all, a winning combination. I used chicken stock vs. water and I confess to not cutting back on the butter at all and I even added a bit of heavy cream that I had in the fridge. I would recommend definitely using the pecans--just toasted in the oven or in a frying pan--they added a lot to the soup, we thought.

A woman can act as agent for another, and, as an attorney, legally execute her authority. A wife can so act if her husband do not dissent.
An unmarried woman can be vested with a trust, but if she marry, the complexities and difficulties are great, from her inability to enter alone into deeds and assurances.
A single woman can act as executrix under a will, but a wife cannot accept an executorship without her husband's consent.
A woman is capable of holding the office of administratrix to an intestate personality, and administration will be granted to her if she be next of kin to the intestate. But a wife cannot act without the consent of her husband.
If a man place a woman in his house, and treat her as his wife, he is responsible for her debts.

|Fitness & Favorite Recipes Good living through good cooking
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Good point -
I recall one day on Monomoy I was stalking big fish and suddenly my legs went gimpy and cramped up at the same time. I had to sit in the water up to my chest and guzzle water before I could walk again. I had to hold my chestpack out of the water with my arms cause I could not stand up! Struck me as funny being in so much water and getting dehydrated.
I was fine in a few minutes and proceeded. I soon bought the hydration insert for my chestpack and started to use it regularly.
|Dble Haul
Hydration reminder
At the end of my day paddling and fishing with Adrian, I could tell that I had lost weight. My wristwatch was dangling at the base of my palm, and when I removed my waders I need to cinch my belt another notch to keep my jeans from sagging. This was water weight that I had lost, as most all of it is back today (three days later).
Our fishing involved paddling and casting for several hours over several miles. I thought that I was doing a pretty good job of keeping food and fluids in my system, but in hindsight I can see that I could have done better. I will make it a point to drink on a regular basis, even if I don't feel thirsty. That thirsty feeling is your body telling you that you are already running a fluid deficit. The hardest times to keep hydrating are when the fishing is fast and furious, and Adrian and I were catching them hand over fist for a few hours at the end. A few moments here and there to take a drink would have saved me some hydration problems the next day, where I felt hung over (which is essentially dehydration via alcohol). Lack of hydration can also lead to fatigue and loss of concentration, which can be a dangerous combination on the water.
So remember to keep fluids in you while fishing and paddling. I normally do a very good job of this, but the first time out each year tends to be a repeating cycle of neglecting this area.

The 10 Greatest Muay Thai Fighters According To Me: 10-9
- Written by Dave Walsh
In my last piece I tried my shot at exposing the Buakaw, and Ramon Dekkers myth. Someone replied and asked if they weren't the best, than who was?
If you ask Muay Thai fans that question, every top 10 list will be different. These are strictly my opinion
10 Namsaknoi Yudthagarngamtorn: A long time training partner of Buakaw Por.Pramuk, Namsaknoi can be credited to some of the success Buakaw got in K-1. Its widely believed and often said that he dominated Buakaw in training. He held Lumpinee titles at 4 different weight classes for more than a decade. In 1996 he was voted fighter of the year and for the next 10 years stayed incredibly consistent until he retired to become a trainer. He came back several times over the last few years, but it finally appears age has caught up with the "Emperor." With multiple wins over Samkor Keatmontep, and Saenchai Sinbimuaythai formerly known as Saenchai Sor. Kingstar its impossible for me to leave him off this list. Im unsure of his actual record, but he rarely lost in the late 90's, and early 2000's. I don't doubt that he won at least 90% of his fights. Which is is phenomenal when you consider even the top Thai's fight 8-12+ times a year.
On top of being an all time great fighter he has the most beautiful Wai Kru I've ever seen.
9 Sangtienoi Sor. Rungrot: "The Deadly Kisser" (He apparently kissed his opponents on the cheek before he stopped them) was not very fast, nor was he too physically gifted in general, but he made up for it with amazing heart, and absolutely phenomenal technique. He's known for his kicks, and knees, but also has good hands, and good elbows, which make him one of the most complete fighters I've seen in Muay Thai. A long time champion at Rajadamnern Stadium he made the move to Lumpinee for better competition. Soon after he became lightweight champion, and beat all the best fighters of that era (90's) which is considered to be the greatest era of fighters ever. Today Sangtienoi is retired and is not only a trainer, but one of the best ambassadors for the sport. His son Moses, though not nearly as good as his father has followed in his footsteps and is ranked in the top 10 middleweights at Rajadamnern Stadium.

OXFORD – The Mississippi State women's basketball team will be going for its third-straight win when it faces struggling Ole Miss tonight at 7 at Tad Smith Coliseum.
The Bulldogs defeated Arkansas at home on Feb. 3 then had a week off before winning 61-56 at Missouri last Sunday.
The only SEC win for Ole Miss came at Florida, 88-81, on Jan. 24. There were five-straight league losses before then and four in a row afterward.
The Bulldogs won the earlier meeting, 72-57 on Jan. 27 in Starkville.
MSU has won the last six in the series and eight of the last nine.
Sophomore Martha Alwal averages a doubledouble for MSU – 12.5 points and 10.0 rebounds.
Sophomore guard Tia Faleru comes off the bench to lead Ole Miss with 12.0 points a game.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Mississippi State's lineup told the story.
The Bulldogs played with six scholarship players and two walk-ons at No. 2 Florida on Saturday. The result was predictable.
Mike Rosario scored 18 points, Erik Murphy added 17 and the Gators bounced back from a humbling loss earlier in the week to thump short-handed Mississippi State 83-58.
The game looked every bit like a matchup of the Southeastern Conference's best and worst teams.
Then again, it wasn't nearly as lopsided as the 35-point beatdown Florida handed Mississippi State on its home court two weeks ago.
"We gave them too many points off turnovers; that continues to be a problem for us," said Bulldogs coach Rick Ray, whose team has lost eight in a row. "I thought we were a lot better in the second half."
Mississippi State (7-15, 2-8) played without guard Jalen Steele, who didn't make the trip after being suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.
It was a big blow for a team already down three players.
Freshmen Andre Applewhite and Jacoby Davis are out for the season with knee injuries, and senior Wendell Lewis is sidelined with a fractured right patella.
So the Bulldogs came to Gainesville with a less-than-ideal roster, not the best scenario when you're trying to upset the league's highest-ranked team.
It showed on the scoreboard.
Florida took a double-digit lead midway through the first half. Michael Frazier II had a lot to do with it, hitting his first three 3-pointers.
The Gators made it 36-18 on Murphy's baseline hook shot with 4:27 remaining before halftime. Murphy finished 7-of-10 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.
The game really got out of hand after the break.
Florida, which led 42-26 after 20 minutes, scored the first 10 points of the second half. Scottie Wilbekin hit a 3, Kenny Boynton made a layup, Rosario hit a pull-up jumper and Murphy drained another from behind the arc.
Everything went right for the Gators.
Gavin Ware led the Bulldogs, who have lost eight in a row, with 16 points. Colin Borchert added 14 and Trivante Bloodman chipped in 10.
"It's really hard to take a loss," Borchert said. "We fought hard and we are a no-excuse team."
After the game, Ray praised walk-ons Baxter Price and Tyson Cunningham. They combined to miss all four shots, but gave the Bulldogs valuable minutes.
"You look at their stat line and it doesn't look very appealing," Ray said. "But Baxter Price goes out there and he's constantly moving and cutting and getting the ball to Gavin. And then Tyson Cunningham did the same thing. We just need more guys willing to accept a role like that and get the ball inside and just move the basketball.
"We're so much better when we do that."
Florida showed its flaws in a loss to Arkansas on Tuesday night.
Center Pat Young picked up two early fouls, forward Will Yeguete injured his knee, Murphy struggled shooting and turned the ball over four times, and Wilbekin took 15 shots for the second consecutive game.
Throw in Arkansas' hot-shooting start, and the Gators trailed by 20 points in the early going and never recovered.
On Saturday, they looked much more like the team that won 10 straight before that 80-69 loss to the Razorbacks.
One difference was that Wilbekin started the game on the bench.
"Just did not respond well at all in practice," coach Billy Donovan said. "No energy. No enthusiasm. Tried to talk to him. Didn't get much of a response. And again, wasn't a bad attitude. Wasn't like he wasn't trying. Wasn't like he quit. Just not his normal Scottie Wilbekin self in practice. And it continued Friday.
"I just told him, I said, 'Listen, we're coming off of a tough loss against Arkansas. We need energy, passion, and if you're not going to play with passion, I'm going to start somebody else.'"

Most plantar warts go away without treatment, though it may take a year or two. If your warts are painful or spreading, you may want to try treating them with over-the-counter (nonprescription) medications or home remedies. You may need many repeated treatments before the warts go away, and they may return later.
If your self-care approaches haven't helped, talk with your doctor about trying these treatments:
Stronger peeling medicine (salicylic acid). Prescription-strength wart medications with salicylic acid work by removing layers of a wart a little bit at a time. They may also stimulate your immune system's ability to fight the wart.
Your doctor will likely suggest you apply the medicine regularly at home, followed by occasional visits to the doctor's office. Your doctor may pare away part of the wart or use freezing treatment (cryotherapy). Studies show that salicylic acid is more effective when combined with freezing.
Freezing medicine (cryotherapy). Freezing therapy done at a doctor's office involves applying liquid nitrogen to your wart, either with a spray or a cotton swab. Your doctor may numb the area first because it can be painful when the liquid nitrogen is applied.
The chemical causes a blister to form around your wart, and the dead tissue sloughs off within a week or so. It may also stimulate your immune system to fight viral warts. Usually, you'll return to the doctor's office for repeat treatments every three to four weeks until the wart disappears.
Some studies show that this treatment is more effective when combined with salicylic acid treatments.
If salicylic acid and freezing don't work, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following treatments:

State Rep. Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, rolled the dice again in the 2013 legislative session on online gaming legislation that could have a profound impact on the future of legal gaming in the state. Moak's 2013 House Bill 254 met the same fate this week as did Moak's HB 1372 did in 2012.
The bills – virtually the same legislation – died in committee both years after being double-referred.
The bill proposed to regulate, license and tax online gaming at 5 percent of gross revenues. The bill would have restricted online gaming licenses to those companies already holding land licenses to operate in the state.
Moak wrote the legislation in reaction to a 2011 U.S. Justice Department ruling which clarified that the ban on interstate betting in the Wire Act of 1961 applied only to a "sporting event or contest" and that all other gambling operations are outside the purview of the act. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the DOJ decision opened the door to any form of online gaming over the provided it isn't the so-called "sports book."
Under the ruling, states can sell lottery tickets online and authorize online poker, roulette, blackjack and other casino games, as long as the actual betting takes place within a respective state's boundaries, even if out-of-state credit cards are used to finance the gambling.
Normally, someone who wants to change Mississippi gaming laws would have to fight the state's churches and the entrenched casinos. Since the inception of legal casino gaming in Mississippi in the 1990s, efforts to enact a state lottery or other major changes have met with opposition from the churches and from the big casino companies.
When Moak introduced HB 1372 during the 2012 session, religious critics of any expansion of legal gaming of any kind in Mississippi reacted. But because the bill protected them from competition from new online-only gaming companies, many of the big casino operations supported Moak's play. Moak is a former chairman of the House Gaming Committee and knows the industry well.
Moak's ìMississippi Lawful Internet Gaming Actî was a reaction to a 2011 U.S. Justice Department ruling that held that the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 – a federal law that has complicated efforts to legalize online gaming. It was being interpreted as only outlawing sports betting. In the past, the federal Wire Act was interpreted as outlawing all forms of gambling across state lines.
Moak argued that the legislation was necessary to allow Mississippi's existing gaming industry to have more control of its own destiny and to allow the state to regulate what will already be taking place online with or without their approval – and to tax it. The bill – which died in committee after being double-referred to Gaming and Ways and Means – included a measure to allow the state's existing gaming licensees to offer online games of chance that are regulated and taxed by the state, but on different terms than in the bricks and mortar casinos.
Nevada has embraced new online gaming competition. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed online gaming legislation passed in 2011 by the New Jersey Legislature and faces a Feb. 7 deadline on a new online gaming bill. Since the Justice Department ruling, seven states (California, Delaware Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Mississippi, and New Jersey) have entertained legislation authorizing forms of online gaming in their states. Utah has passed legislation specifically prohibiting internet gaming. Maine has altered their gaming statute in response to the Department of Justice ruling.
Mississippi lawmakers haven't heard the last of the online gaming issue as certain competition for the stateís existing 30 commercial casinos that had gross gaming revenue of $2.25 billion in 2012.
Records released recently by the Mississippi Department of Revenue showed that gaming revenue in 2012 showed an increase of $12 million over 2011 – that after a sour national economy helped fuel a streak of four consecutive years where Mississippi gaming revenues dropped by an average of about $160 million per year.
What is certain is that opponents of all forms of legal gambling will be against online gaming and most of the entrenched traditional casino operators with bricks-and-mortar locations in the state will support it in Mississippi – as they have in 2012 and this year. But at some point, Moak's legislation is likely to gain traction.

Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, April 28, 2011. Baton Rouge Community College will unveil its largest donation in school history at a ceremony this Friday, April 28, 2011, at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport at 11:00 AM.
The college got a huge lift from the New Orleans Hornets, who donated a Boeing 727 jet to the college for use in its new Aviation program developed in co-operation with the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, the City of Baton Rouge, and Louisiana Economic Development. The program will cover airframe and power-plant (A&P) maintenance, as well as the servicing of avionics.
"This is a tremendous gift," BRCC Chancellor Myrtle E. B. Dorsey said. "We are deeply grateful to the New Orleans Hornets for their contribution toward our work to expand the educational opportunities available to our students."
"The entire Hornets organization is excited to continue our commitment to giving back by providing such a unique asset to the students at Baton Rouge Community College," said Hornets President Hugh Weber. "As Louisiana's hometown team, we are honored that we can leave a lasting legacy that will enhance the education of students for many years to come."
BRCC is currently in the process of obtaining the required approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its Airframe and Power Plant Maintenance programs. The goal of the programs will be to prepare students to take the FAA licensure examination upon completion; an FAA license is required in order to perform independent work on aircraft equipment and approve its return to service. The jet will play a vital role in students' practical coursework by providing them with a reliable, prevailing model of aircraft that has become a standard of the aviation industry.
"We have worked to secure an aviation technology school for many years," stated Anthony Marino, Director of Aviation at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. "The new BRCC A & P School will provide a much needed program to supply the aviation industry with trained mechanics and offer new career opportunities for Baton Rouge area residents. This school will fill an aviation mechanic training void in our area, and put Baton Rouge in a better position to attract aviation-related industries that need a skilled workforce."
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth for aircraft and avionics service technicians is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all other occupations. In addition, many aviation maintenance personnel are expected to retire over the upcoming decade, and with passenger air traffic increasing due to an expanding population and a recovering economy, the need for aircraft mechanics and service technicians will grow accordingly.
"Louisiana FastStart and Baton Rouge Community and College are focused on providing a well-trained, talented stream of current and future employees to our Aviation partners," said Jeff Lynn, Executive Director of Louisiana Economic Development FastStart. "Louisiana is sending a strong message to the Aviation Industry that Louisiana is the place to do business."
BRCC's Aviation program is projected to begin in the 2012 fall semester.

The big and little dilemmas facing Mercedes
BEIJING -- Mercedes-Benz sells extended-length versions of its S-class and E-class sedans in China to give back seat passengers space to stretch out and maybe do some work while riding in one of Beijing's miserable traffic jams.
The Chinese seem to love that extra legroom. So could extended Mercedes sedans be tried in the Unites States, too?
"Maybe," said global product chief Thomas Weber. "An engineer should never say never."
In China, Mercedes has never offered anything but an extended version of the S-class and the lengthened E-class has been a big seller.
But in America, Weber said a buyer who could be tempted by an extra-length E-class would probably just step up to the S-class.
Meanwhile, Mercedes confirmed the production name of a new small sedan that arrives in the United States next year -- the CLA.
The Concept Style Coupe that debuted here Monday is "very close" to what the CLA will be.
The small, four-door sedan with the fastback, coupe-like body will go on sale in 2013, he said. But as for who gets it first -- the United States, Europe or China -- that is still undecided.
"We are now in intensive discussions about that," Weber said. "It's a question of sequencing."

Following an uproar over a Defense Department statement saying that military personnel could be court-martialed for sharing their faith, the Pentagon has backed down on that position and now says soldiers are free to proselytize, as long as they don't harass others. "Service members can share their faith," clarified Navy Lieutenant Commander Nate Christensen in a statement, "but must not force unwanted, intrusive attempts to convert others of any faith or no faith to one's beliefs."
Earlier the Defense Department had released an alarming statement saying: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…. Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis." That statement appeared to come as the result of an April 24 meeting between military officials and Mikey Weinstein of the atheist group Military Religious Freedom Foundation, in which Weinstein pressured Air Force officials to enforce a policy that supposedly bans Air Force personnel from openly expressing their religious faith. The Defense Department has reportedly turned to Weinstein's group to hammer out policies on religious expression in the military.
Weinstein has gained notoriety for his aggressive campaign to sanitize the military of overt faith expressions by service members. He told Fox News that "until the Air Force or Army or Navy or Marine Corps punishes a member of the military for unconstitutional religious proselytizing and oppression, we will never have the ability to stop this horrible, horrendous, dehumanizing behavior." Weinstein was referring to examples of supposed religious persecution within the ranks, and said that his group "would love to see hundreds of prosecutions to stop this outrage of fundamentalist religious persecution."
The outcry from chaplains and religious leaders over Weinstein's rhetoric prompted the Defense Department to issue its updated statement backing down from implying that service members might be targeted for sharing their faith. According to Charisma News, the clarification came after the conservative legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking a clarification from the Defense Department on the issue.
"Members of our military should not be denied the very freedoms they fight to defend," explained ADF Legal Counsel Joseph La Rue. "Freedom of religion and speech are paramount among those freedoms."

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've been in bigger seas than the story I'll tell, but never in such a small boat.
One day years ago on the Hudson River I was out with two other people in a 14' sailboat in 6-8' seas with very little distance between waves. When you were in the trough you might as well have been in the center of the ocean since you couldn't see any land. We were at the widest point of the Hudson at Half Moon Bay. All three of us were on one side of the sailboat, we had only the mainsail up, and I was hanging off the rigging over the water as far as I could just to keep the boat from flipping. It was 3 miles each way from where we launched to the beach on the other side (Black Beach). There was a gale warning out for part of that day too...
I couldn't agree more!
Very early 1960's the CG sent me 'down there' for a bit of 'cross training.' When the skipper handed me a crash helmet (which I expected), a trapeze harness with short clips (which I expected), ... then he hands me a flack jacket for rib protection which I didn't expect. I was wrong, he was right.
The most increadable 2 hours of my life; we did 2 360's and several that were close to 270's. These guys were NUTS! But LOVED every moment of it. Told them I'd stick with my Smith Island/Juan De Fuca posting.
swistsure is the roughest run out of neah bay... period. especially if you are hitting it in the middle of a big ebb current (which i'm sure you were).
i've been out in 18 foot seas at neah... but it's a little hard to fish... but fun to see. the scariest in big waves was a foggy day in roughly 15 ft seas where the fog was so thick you couldn't see the top of the wave from the bottom.
big waves are okay if the wind direction is with the waves... but last spring i was out at the canadian long hole with 8-10 ft seas and a SE 45-50 knot wind.... and that was by far worse than anything else i had seen or run in before.... especially for 40 nautical miles. the big charter boats had microwaves come off the walls the pounding was so bad. almost every longtime neah bay fisherman has a SE wind story... now i have mine and know why many won't even go out if there is any SE wind in the forecast. if i had a different boat, i'm not sure how i would have fared that day. but that day did have the best client quote ever on my boat, i overheard this... "the captain must be doing something right, i've never puked before."
i've never dealt with the bars at the columbia or westport... but i've seen enough to know i would be cautious as hell. luckily, as sportfishermen we are rarely surprised by the weather... it is almost always forecast and we make the poor decisions that make the great stories when we make it back (or the devastating stories if we don't). i've pushed the limits more than i should of... just damn lucky.
with halibut season about to start... i hope people make good decisions about the weather and other boating issues.
Beau, how to strike fear into a man's very sole. If there is a place where fear should win out over bravery it is the Columbia River Mouth. There is no place like it that I know about anywhere in the world. Youth fills us full of experience's we hopefully are able to ponder in later years and that is one of them. Hope you caught fish that day.
As a side note: That is what my son wants to do for his career. To be a skipper of a Coast Guard boat on the Columbia River Mouth. At 13 he lives it on a continuous basis. He has my apporval, I would be proud of him if that is the path he takes.
|beau purvis
big seas
Juro,That sounds very similar to my worst experience.My best friend and I spent a summer in 67 Kelping out of Neah Bay and Ilwaco.We were at Ilwaco one day chasing a good run of silvers in the rips nw of the north jetty.Fishing was so good we stayed out till almost dark .The tide was still running out hard,but we felt we had to come in before dark.In a Cape Kiwanda dory with a 35 & 15 in the well for power.There were huge swells from an asian storm[we thought at time they were at least 40 ft].Well. when they hit the outgoing Columbia[about 8mph?] they stacked and broke like surfer waves all across the river.We had to go full speed to crawl up the backside and shoot over the break and go fast enough to clear the white stuff ,but then slow enough so we did not skip around too much and catch a sideways edge .We were hauling and skipping and sliding and somehow made it through that area at the end of the jetties.There were coastgaurd boats there trying to help people in trouble[we were not the only dummies].4 boats went over and 3-4 people died.Beau
Biggest seas you ever experienced?
For me it was on a crossing from Swiftsure Bank back to Neah Bay. The dawn crossing in growing seas from an oceanic storm that had been raging and we suspected high seas but nothing like what ensued.
It always scares me when the sky gets so dark that the water looks brighter, and mid-day to boot. The waves were as high as telephone poles, luckily about as far apart too. Each crest made the motor labor to the peak where we might or might not see the other three boats in the party depending on whether they were in a trough or peak. Each downhill slide brought the risk of pitch-poling us into the trough, as these waves were big enough to have turbulence between crests which had those Hawaii-5-0 white trails blowing off the tips.
The boat was a 23ft hardtop and the bulkhead was completely under waves manytimes. I never thought I would see the inside of a huge wave with a panoramic view of the thousand foot depths of the Strait of Juan De Fuca from a boat chair, but I did. I would look at the Clint Eastwood face of my mentor Ken Morgan and as long as he didn't flinch or show fear I was OK with it. Each time we would pitch a curtain of water weighing several hundred pounds would pour over the bulkhead mostly onto the deck and drain out the transom as we would climb. The bilge was working doubletime and the motor straining to combat the forces.
We eventually came inside the breakwater at Neah and I swear I almost kissed the slimy gut-covered gull-splatted deckboards at the cleaning station on all fours when the ropes were out.
And then there was the tsunami alert...

text: I'm PC.The problems range from half-assed buggy software, to no sound, clicks and noises during recording, non functional DB 25 outputs, overheating, non-recognition by usb port and the list goes on.I don't like the general attitude of Antelope at the forum, when people report the problems they always throw marketing BS or presumable success stories in the mix.The original person reviewing the Antelope, who is also from gearslutz staff, received a non-functional Audio Zen, then he was telling that the fault was from the parcel delivery company and some posts later he changed the story to ''I had a beta unit for testing''.I dunno, my impression after some threads is that Antelope seems a shady company. Now they are releasing some audiophile clocks for 5k. Again I have trouble trusting audiophile companies, especially when they release ''esoteric'' audiophile stuff.Anyway I should have done my homework before considering the Audio Zen.I could order and be lucky, but I don't know, the general feeling around them is unreliability.Source:http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/931887-antelope-zen-hands.html

Day 13, up 1 lb.
It's day 13 and my official weigh in is 173.4, up a pound from yesterday.
I did give in last night and had a small plate of red potatoes with some spray butter but that shouldn't have added a full pound to my weight - no I did not eat a pound of potatoes!
Anyway, I won't be eating anymore! See, having that salad on Friday made me HUNGRY!
DietAde200, according to my FitDay food diary, the following GS has about 270 yummy and nutritious calories:
1 medium banana,
1/2 cup of blueberries,
1/2 cup of strawberries,
1/2 cup of kale,
1/2 cup of spinach,
1 medium apple
1/2 medium zucchini
I don't actually measure anything but I figure a handful is approximately 1/2 of a cup. The above GS is pretty-much spot-on to my average smoothie. I mix it up a bit and add some mango sometimes and maybe some celery but otherwise the above GS is pretty standard fare.
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I had hoped to be at 170 which would be a solid 10 lb. loss, with an average 5 lbs. per week loss. Looks like I'm not gonna be at 170 tomorrow unless I lose 3.5 lbs. overnight which ain't gonna happen. I'm still happy with my weight loss. Guess I need to actually exercise! Despite how great I felt, I only went walking that one time last week. I worked almost every day and was too pooped in the evenings but this week I'm only working Wed, Thurs, and Fri. so far so I'm gonna go hit the trails right now and then again Mon and Tues morning. I need to try to walk in the evenings when I'm working but I am on my feet every second of the day when I work and just need to rest in the evenings. Literally, the only time I sit down when I'm working is when I take a potty break!

Way(land) back when
It's been a little while since I made progress on psadan ($dayjob and daddy duty), but from looking at the commit log I see it's even longer since I wrote about any of it. So:
I wrote a macro.
with-sync does what he name suggests: it executes
its body, then sends a
sync message to the
wl_display, then waits
for the callback. This is the standard Wayland way to make sure that
stuff has finished happening before doing more stuff. The actual
macro implementation was pretty similar to writing macros in CL except
that the quasiquote escape is
~ not
, – and that this is a Lisp-1,
so declaring a local variable called
promise turns out to be a bad
idea when you also want to call the function
We refactored the
handle-message and
listen functions to return the
new state of the agent that runs them, instead of keeping the globals
in an atom inside it. Bcause we only update globals through the
agent, this saves us from having to keep them in an atom, which felt
kind of ugly.
And finally: psadan now parses the
wl_drm protocol as well as the
regular one – that bit was easy, it's just another file of XML to
parse. This is however where I got bogged down quite comprehensively
in how we actually use the stuff though: there are a lot of bits. I'm
hoping that JOGL , possibly in
conjunction with its
support, is (a) relevant, (b) sufficient, but even then there's
titting around with ioctls to be done which is not readily doable in
the JVM.

The Western Cape, South Africa has a large number of people living with diabetes and this number is predicted to increase substantially over the next few years. The majority of people with diabetes are looked after by nurses in the public sector at health centres and clinics. The quality of care is generally poor and education is performed in an ad hoc and unpredictable manner. This project intends to evaluate a structured group educational programme, supported by appropriate educational materials and delivered by health promoters who have been trained in better communication (motivational interviewing). This approach has never been evaluated in our context and if effective can be implemented widely.

Written by Sarah Haan, Registered Dietitian
With portions ballooning to extreme sizes, it's sometimes tough to stick to what we know are proper serving sizes. Eating contests, "value" meals and bags that contain "30% more free" all contribute to our environment of excess. You've chosen to fight back and take control of your portions. Great! It's a key step to weight management and will make you feel powerful in your food choices. Use some of these methods to help control the crazy portions so you can reach your goals.
When you're at home, whip out your measuring cups and spoons and start sizing up your portions before you eat them. This isn't something you'll need to do forever, but it's a great place to start. Do you really know what a 1/2 cup of rice looks like once it's poured onto a plate? Try measuring out your sizes for a few weeks until you get a good grasp on how much to serve yourself to get that proper size.
Our eyes can be bigger than our stomachs! Even when deliberately trying to serve equal amounts of ice cream in two different sized bowls, participants in studies served more in the larger bowl with the larger spoon. Test yourself! Take out two different cups, one that is short and wide and one that is tall and narrow. Fill a pitcher with water, and attempt to pour 1 cup (8 oz) in each of them. Once you've filled both cups, measure the liquid in a measuring cup to see how close you are. More times than not, you will have poured more water into the short, wide glass. To combat the tricks our eyes play on our stomachs, switch to smaller plates (approximately 9 inches), cups (tall and narrow ones are better) and bowls. Save your oversized soup bowls for broth-based soup, salad and fruit only. Use smaller ramekins for ice cream, nuts, and creamy soups. Break out your large dinner plates for special occasions only.
When you're ordering at a restaurant, there are many challenges to eating the portion size you intend to. Not only does the atmosphere encourage eating, but the average portions served can typically feed two or three people. Take control of the portions and either share your meal with a friend, or ask your server to box up half of your meal before bringing it to the table. Even if you have to convince the server that you're serious, it's worth it to keep the temptation of the second serving in the bag and off your table. Save it for lunch or dinner the next day!
Place the food for your meals and snacks on a dish instead of eating directly from the container or bag, especially when doing something distracting like watching TV. Even if you intend to only have "a little," it's easy to get off track and without realizing you've eaten half the box! For every food item you buy in bulk servings (bags of chips, cereal, nuts, yogurt tubs and more), portion it into smaller baggies or containers as soon as you get home from the store. This will also help you resist the urge to snack directly from the container without being aware of how much you're eating.
Surrounding yourself with people who tend to overeat makes YOU more likely to overeat, too. Researcher Brian Wansink (author of "Mindless Eating") found that we mirror (to a point) the amount that our company consumes. We consciously and/or unconsciously follow the "consumption norm" of those we dine with by emulating how much they eat in order to achieve acceptance. Dr. Wansink's studies reflected this behavior, and it's important to be aware and attempt to make a conscious decision about how much you eat when eating among others. Other studies have shown that obesity does spread among friends and families, and the consumption norm could be one reason why.
Pack up leftovers before heading to the dinner table to make sticking to your first serving a cinch. Studies show that we eat more food when more food is easily accessible. Placing the extra servings of breakfast, lunch or dinner in the fridge or freezer before you sit down to eat is a good way to keep those second helpings out of sight and out of mind.
Comparing food portions to common objects that you know the size of is genius when it comes to portion control, especially if you don't have your measuring tools handy. It's not as cumbersome as measuring or weighing your foods, but still provides a good estimate about how much food you're eating. Here are some common comparisons to keep in mind:
1 cup = baseball
1/2 cup = standard light bulb
2 Tbsp = golf ball
1 Tbsp = poker chip
3 oz meat = deck of cards
3 oz fish = checkbook
1.5 oz cheese = 3 dice
This visual strategy for portion control is a great way to slim down your protein and starch portions, and bulk up your servings of vegetables. Fill half of a 9- or 10-inch plate with non-starchy veggies or salad. Next, visually divide your plate in half again (to achieve 2 quarters of the plate) and place your meat or protein source in one spot, and your carbohydrate or starchy vegetable in the other. This method helps you control calories and increase your vegetable intake.
Eating regularly throughout the day will help keep your portions at each meal in check. When you're ravenous by mealtime, it's easy to overindulge and disregard proper portion sizes. If you're not already, get into the habit of planning your meals throughout the day, including small snacks between meals to keep your hunger under control. Then, you'll feel satisfied with a normal portion during your meals and prevent overeating.
Recognizing the difference between portion sizes and serving size is important, too. A serving size is listed on a food label, while a portion size is what you serve yourself (or what a restaurant serves you). These are important to decipher because the numbers for calories, fat, sodium, carbs, fiber, etc. on the nutrition facts label describe a specified serving size, which can vary widely from the portion you serve yourself. This is a good reason why it's a great idea to play with your measuring cups at home until you become a pro at serving up correct serving sizes.

|Learning and getting there sliwly
|I been eating little portion since 2014 😁
|I use the salad plate is a perfect portion 😃
I try
|Awesome tips#
|Good ideas I am already trying and it's helping
|when I have chips or nuts I use a measuring cup so I don't go over the portion size
|The size comparison thing for portions always confuses me. I don't know if I should be accounting for the depth of the object in comparison or not.
|I use the salad plate not the dinner plate. Works for Me. Also when at a restaurant I will ask the server to give me a to go container and divide my meal up into 1/2 or a proper sized portion then and tell them to bring back my to go container after I eat the smaller portion of food. That way I pay for the whole meal deal but only eat a normal sized meal.
|Great tips! The smaller plate tip is one that I've used frequently, as well as eating with a salad fork.
|Such great tips!
|Using smaller plates, will keep the measuring cups within reach to easily measure portions.
|Such wonderful suggestions!!
|What an awesome tool for when you have to guess your food portions!!!! Thank you!

Love carrot cake, or is it the cream cheese frosting? This moist cake also has nuts, pineapple and coconut. If you don't like pineapple or coconut, you can leave it out.
Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour can be used in any recipe. It's the best of both worlds—100% whole grain but with a lighter taste and color. Start substituting 25% or 50% of the all-purpose flour with Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour, gradually increasing proportion as desired.
