'Then we had a typical Williams-Hansen match with a lot of screaming and shouting and flags flying all over the place. Ian managed to catch a penalty at the top mark which he cleared by passing our stern line. We were feeling pretty good where we were, then when he gybed, we gybed and hit the bottom and stopped.
During the gybe we came off the bottom again, but that was pretty much the decider as Ian managed to cover us and was faster after that.' According to the Swede, bumping along the bottom was enough to hand the advantage to GAC Pindar who were never going to give up their unexpected advantage. 'That was quite tough,' said Hansen. 'We felt that was the match decider, hitting the bottom.
Pierre-Antoine Morvan and Vannes Agglo Sailing Team had been leading the regatta at the end of day one, but were another high-profile casualty today. The French team had been leading Kim Taejeong's Gyeonggi Match crew but then got caught in the anchor line of the windward mark. The Koreans stormed past the stricken French, and losing that match contributed to their elimination from the competition.
Hansen was philosophical about the 'Acts of God' that occurred. 'I guess we have to accept it as part of the game, but on the other hand during the whole week there have been quite a few issues with boats hitting the bottom and boats dragging marks. There have been different decisions regarding redress and we don't feel the umpires are keeping to their line and judging the same way in all cases. It feels a bit frustrating, but we shouldn't put ourselves in a situation where we are relying on the umpires. We just have to come back stronger in Marstrand.'
Tour Director of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour, Craig Mitchell, said it was unfortunate to see sailors go out in controversial circumstances but commented: 'We know this is a tight venue where we've had issues in the past, but we have to strike a balance between keeping the event running and stopping after every single issue arises. You don't get much redress in match racing, that's just how it is. We've just completed 66 matches in the Qualifying, and there's a lot more to come. Today the umpires kept to the policy that was laid down at the beginning of the week. If a boat runs aground and stops while in the lead or within two boatlengths of its opponent, the match will be stopped and resailed. But today the umpires saw Hansen slow down but not stop, so the race wasn't abandoned. As for Morvan catching the line and hooking the mark, that scenario was all discussed this morning at the skippers' briefing. It's just the luck of the game.'
Adam Minoprio doesn't like his reputation for always scraping through into the knock-out phases of Tour regattas by the skin of his teeth. But Team Alpari FX did nothing to dent that reputation by doing exactly that in Korea today, the Kiwis squeaking into the Quarter Finals. 'We feel like it's been tough, a bad rub of the green. That last race against Ian Williams was a case in point. Ten seconds before the start they called off the race because they had a timing error. It wouldn't have affected the race, we were both late for the line and we had a penalty on Ian, and had the advantage.
'That was disappointing and then in the resail against Ian we had a fishing boat blocking our entry, and we were unable to have a dial-up with Ian and that put us on the back foot in the critical race. We're disappointed with how things panned out and it seems to sum up our Qualifying, with things not quite going our way. But to know we have qualified for the Quarter Finals is a big relief. It's always strong to have learned a lot of lessons in the Qualifying phase, a lot of different scenarios can happen, and we've had most of them happen to us, not in our favour. We've had the hard knocks and hopefully now we can go out there and beat up on whoever chooses us.'
Despite their lacklustre performance thus far, no one chose Minoprio's team, perhaps fearing a big comeback from the Kiwi who scraped through qualifying at Match Race Germany a couple of weeks ago, but then finished second overall. Instead, winner of the Qualifying Ian Williams joked that he would 'stick with tradition and choose Gilmour', the joke being that the Tour rookie David Gilmour is the son of four-time match racing world champion Peter Gilmour, with whom Williams has had many a high-spirited run-in in the past. Maybe Williams' trimmer Mal Parker will be wearing his special anti-Gilmour ear defenders.
As for Hansen and the shock exit of a team that many of their rivals feared as the biggest threat in Korea, well Hansen said he would come back fighting at the next Tour event in a month's time, Stena Match Cup Sweden. 'We will make sure this is a once-in-a-season miss of the Quarter Finals, and we hope we can show we are still in the game at Marstrand.'

The California Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) is a program in the Occupational Health Branch designed to identify and study fatal occupational injuries. The California FACE program is funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and was started in 1991. California is one of nine funded FACE states. While we track only those fatalities occurring in Los Angeles County, investigations can take place throughout the State. On average, approximately one worker dies every three days in LA County.
The purpose of the FACE Program is to identify conditions that lead to fatal injuries at work. By studying these conditions we can develop more effective ways for employers and employees to prevent fatal injuries in the future.

The Return of Badr Hari: A Look at Badr vs. Zabit Samedov from the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final 16
- Written by Dave Walsh
Badr Hari is a name that strikes strong emotions with kickboxing fans across the world, some love him while others find his behavior in and outside of the ring a disgrace to the sport. Regardless, Badr Hari has made a huge impact on the world of kickboxing in the past five years or so. We've seen Badr Hari climb up to the very peak of the mountain only to melt down twice now.
Yesterday we took a look at Badr Hari's breakout bout of 2009 where he met then three-time K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, Semmy Schilt, in the It's Showtime ring for the It's Showtime World Heavyweight Championship. This was a big bout for Badr Hari, as he was able to bull rush Semmy Schilt, knock him off balance and quickly knock him out. The usual approach to taking out Semmy Schilt is a slow, methodical pace, wait for him to make a mistake and swarm him. Badr Hari didn't bother waiting, he just swarmed, smelled blood and took the title home. Badr Hari then went into the Final 16 in Korea with a world of momentum behind him, leaving poor Zabit Samedov to square off with a hungry and well-prepared Badr Hari.
Zabit Samedov is no slouch, he is a world class kickboxer who often finds himself in bad situations due to his size. In the world of K-1 there are Heavyweights and there are Super Heavyweights. Samedov is a small Heavyweight fighting against monsters of men like Hari. None of that mattered when he stepped into the ring against Badr Hari. This was stop two on Badr Hari's road to redemption.
We will continue to look at what led Badr Hari to his May 14th clash with Gregory Tony for It's Showtime, why he hasn't fought for a year and the fights that happened along the way.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
With the inspiration and guidance of the six-foot tall, purple
dinosaur (voice provided by Bob West), this sing-along, dance-along,
play-along and learn-along children's program encouraged youngsters
to be creative and be happy.
Created by former Dallas schoolteacher
Sheryl Stamps Leach, Barney the Dinosaur debuted in the well
received 1988 home video series Barney And The Backyard Gang.
Barney's closing theme song (slowly sung to the tune of "This Old
Man") communicated the sweet sentiment "I love you/You love me/We're
a happy family/With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you/Won't
you say you love me too?"
BARNEY AND FRIENDS was produced by Lyrick Studios but in 2001,
HIT Entertainment acquired the company for $275 million.
In the fall of 2006, the program introduced a new character named
Riff, The pint-sized cousin of Barney's pals BJ and Baby Bop.
Although many children loved the show, it
drove some adults a little crazy. For example, late night talk show host David
Letterman compiled the "Top 10 Horrifying Secrets of Barney the
Dinosaur" which included news of an indecent proposal Barney
allegedly made: "Offered Fred Flintstone $1 million for one night
with Dino."
An excerpt from the May 3, 1993 issue of The New Yorker
relayed the story of a "serenely good-natured mother of a
four-year-old girl (who) made a confession in midtown Manhattan: 'I
bought the Barney book...I read it to my daughter in the Barney
voice. My husband looked at me with mistrust...but I did it'."
Afterwards she concluded I wish I could shoot Barney."
Barney & Dinosaur friends, Baby Bop
(left), Riff (center) and B.J.
The plot line
of a 1993 issue of Cracked Monster Party, a $1.75 Mad-style satire
magazine featured the segment "Barney Goes to Jurassic Park" where
Barney gets stomped, chomped and blown away by security guards.
To add insult to injury, three boys (10, 11 and 12 years old)
pummeled and attacked, a Barney the Dinosaur impersonator at a
K-Mart grand opening in Galveston, Texas in 1993.
Municipal Judge
Thomas Youngblood, Jr. scolded the boys; gave the youngsters until
their 17th birthday to pay the fines ($200 each) or risk arrest;
ordered them to keep a curfew of 6:00 PM; and instructed them to
stop hanging out with each other. Psst!, the guy inside the Barney
suit is David Joyner.
Theme Song Lyrics
Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination
When he's tall he's what we call A dinosaur sensation
Barney teaches lots of things
Like how to play pretend
A-B-C's and 1-2-3's and how to be a friend
Barney comes to play with us
Whenever we may need him
Barney can be your friend too
If you just make believe him
(Sung to "Yankee Doodle")

by Jason Schwartzman, ChildFund Team Leader for Child & Youth Involvement
What we have learned from young people in India and across all the countries and communities that we reached out to over the past few months are some central facts:
While ChildFund will continue to focus on literacy and education, health and nutrition, livelihood preparation and fostering the resiliency of children of all ages, we are moving rapidly into newer territory — working with youth as partners.
We are bringing young people together to discuss ideas, develop solutions for their own lives and help ChildFund make decisions about its future program offerings. We are talking to youth, we are listening and we are responding to what we learn.
Yes, you are 100% right. Particularly in rural areas, local governance institutions are being given more and more powers, but our young people are not showing any inclination for political participation. They consider politics to be too complicated and even dirty. This attitude needs to change. Only when educated, motivated young people take over local institution like Panchayats/Municipalities, with adequate knowledge about legal provisions and schemes (RTI, MGNREGS, PDS, FRA, RTE, NRHM etc.) there is hope for any genuine progress. In this regard we are planning to take up some youth leadership programme in a limited number of Panchayats before the Odisha Panchayat elections in March-2012.

The are color coded by size.
Posted by Laurie on 30th Mar 2014
I've been using these fins every day in my workouts. They last at least a year before they start ripping at the sides of the toes. Other brands don't last nearly that long for me. They are the cheapest I've found, as well.
Posted by Stacey on 30th Dec 2013
loves them
Posted by Patrick Modaff on 26th Nov 2013
I like this a lot better than zoomers.
Posted by swim dawg on 25th Feb 2013
they are light and push a lot of water; i much prefer these over zoomers
Posted by Unknown on 21st Jan 2013
This fins are a great purchase and are very forgiving if the size is a bit too big or small. The rubbery material doesn't produce blisters as much as other brands, and the fins come in a nice variety of colors. In the pool they stay on my feet and have good power for kicking. After a while, the color fades a bit, but otherwise they are awesome.
Posted by Kenton on 27th Dec 2012
Have not had a chance to use the fins, will be using them for tube fishing and they will probably work fine.
Posted by Stuart Kahn on 27th Nov 2012
Just because they're shipped from a factory that makes fins doesn't mean any human ever tried using them.
Over the course of 2 years I've purchased two batches of these 'Triton' fins and in both cases the rubber is unnaturally stiff and totally unsuitable for kicking.
Obviously the manufacturer hasn't gotten the word yet.
I'm repackaging the shipment and returning asap.
Hello :
We are so sorry you are unhappy with these fins, I will forward this review to our manufacturer.

Donate gently used goods from around the house. + shop the treasures of other donors = brilliant way to support pet rescue efforts in the Lowcountry!
It doesn't take a home editor to recognize that the homey, nesting types are often doting pet owners. In nearly every house I scout, there's a dog or cat roaming the halls and settling into sunny corners and comfy laps while I chat with their owner. And I'd say at least half of the animals I meet are rescues, either scooped up from the roadside or plucked from shelters like Pet Helpers (www.pethelpers.org), the Charleston Animal Society (www.charlestonanimalsociety.org), or organizations like them. That's why I think the idea of creating a household goods consignment store to raise money for animal shelters is a winner. Agree?
Here are the details:
The shop, Animal Helpers ReTAIL Resale Store, is accepting donations NOW. A joint fundraising venture between the Charleston Animal Society and Pet Helpers, it opens in December at 1601 Savannah Highway in West Ashley. Currently, they're accepting donations of appliances, new construction materials, furniture, decorative items, lamps, artwork, linens, and more. For more information on how to donate or about the Animal Helpers ReTAIL Resale Store, call Jon Skelton at (843) 277-2010 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

Bitcoin Value Plummets After Silk Road FBI Drug Bust
Silk Road was a space where illegal drugs and other shady miscellany were allegedly sold, and the anonymity afforded by Bitcoin was certainly an appeal for buyers. Those Bitcoins--all $3.6 million worth--have now been "seized" by the FBI, and Silk Road's owner Ross William Ulbricht (aka "Dread Pirate Roberts") has been arrested.
It's likely that the arrest had something to do with the Bitcoin value drop, as Bitcoiners are skittish about the fact that the feds have all of Ulbricht's records and data. "They're going to be pouring [sic] all over his records, getting subpoenas for every piece of data and account he has ever used and trying to figure out who all these different dealers are," Garth Bruen, a security expert at Internet consumer group Digital Citizens Alliance, told Reuters. "People are jumping ship."
Reuters also stated that Silk Road's sales included over 9.5 million Bitcoins.

" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum. The cord is also tangle free and feels very nice...." --thug behram

Pen and paper are somewhat useful, but it's not so good on the really bumpy parts of the tracks (which there are quire a few stretches of). Oh well.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Form Ebay
|Buy it! Buy them all!
|I had a Tanzer 26 with my exhusband 15 years ago. It was a very stable and safe boat. In fact it sailed better, in higher winds than the Beneteau 32 first that we bought after it. It may not be the most stylish but it was a great little boat and two people can easiy spend a weekend on it. I spend a week at a time sailing from port to port. $14k is outrageous for it. We had to give ours away, 14 years ago we could not even sell it for $5k. I am sure you can pick one up in good shape for $4k.

your best bet is to go and check one out in person with the person you are going to sail with.
Also, do yourself a favour and find a friend that knows about sailboats and have him or her check out your prospects, to ensure that the boat is well equipped and well taken care of.
if you're going to spend the summer on it, consider that essentially you will be camping in a hard plastic tent that moves around while you sleep. Also, remember that sailboats generally don't move too quickly, and that is something to think about if you're planning to run the length of a great lake and back. think about fuel if there's no wind, and shelter when storms arrive (and they will)
Honestly I don't wish to discourage you, but forewarned is forearmed, right? I'd rather scare you a little now and know that you were successful with your challenge later.
figure out where you will anchor, moor or pull into a dock for the night along your trip, figure how long it will take you to get between those places at 8 km/hr., then add 40%
some questions to ask:
does it have room to stow all your gear and provisions?
does it have a useable head (bathroom) -how often will you have to pump it out?
are there stress cracks in the hull, the deck, at the attachments for the rigging?
are there any blisters below the waterline in the hull? (you won't
know if it's in the water already)
is the bilge dry?-- does it leak around the windows or thru-hulls when it rains?
when was the last anti-fouling paint applied to the bottom?
some other equipment to check for:
bilge pump - condition
battery (ies)
sail condition
sound signaling device(s)
fire extinguisher
life ring
throwable floating rope
first aid kit
flares newer than 2006 -minimum of 6 2-star type
VHF radio (and learn ho to use it in an emergency) and a cellphone
portable waterproof gps so you can report your lat/long to whoever your friends onshore are (be smart and file a sail plan with a responsible friend, and check in daily)
up to date navigational charts of the area you will be sailing (so you won't run aground)
consider your bathing conditions - jump in the lake with a bar of soap and shampoo?
consider whether or not you need a boat with a bimini top for protection from the sun.
that's all i have for now.
you will find the sailing community friendly and helpful. if you don't know something, ask!
See you out on the water! Best of luck!
Sail well in relation to what?
Ive sailed on a 25 of that era and my thoughts were it didnt point very well and had a horrible deck plan.I definetly wouldnt want to be caught in a storm in this boat.
However, it is a boat and will get you out on the water so it isnt all bad.
The newer tanzers are much better boats and they still are no match for other boats in that price range.

Is $14K a good price without a trailor?
14 k is high for that year of Tanzer. Two have sold at our yacht club both were asking 10k and sold for 8k. Both had road worthy trailers and were in better than average shape. As for a motor at that price it should have one. 9.9hp seems to be the norm for an outboard. There were a few with inboard motors. Tanzers are great boats. They sail well have good space for there size. They are a very well respected boat in Canada and the price can be higher because of that. I have sailed on many Tanzers and love them even considering it is not the boat i have. but i just cant see 14k as being a good price for the older models.
I actually don't mind the Tanzer as long as you remember what it is; a daysailer that can do some weekend camping. There's lots out on Georgian Bay every weekend. It isn't a rough water boat but sailed well, it can do some tricks.
There is a 25/6 foot Tanzer for sale at Toronto Island Marina as we speak named "Jo Jo" on the dock behind me. He's asking CDN$5500 and it appears to be in good condition. The owner is now a 2 boat owner and has to get rid of it. I have no affiliation and have only chatted with the owner a couple of times. Have your friends call the marina and ask. They'll put him in touch.
They are looking at a 1978.

Where I stayed
Laguna Resort Condominium
We arrived at Blue Lagoon Beach at 1.00 pm exactly. This is one of my favorite beaches here. One of the main reasons is that it is not as crowded at the Teluk Kemang beach and it is one of the remaining clean beaches here in Port Dickson.
Upon arrival, we unloaded the items and found a right spot under a tree for our picnic. The beach was crowded too, but not as bad as Teluk Kemang beach. Another beauty of this beach is the Cape Rachado light house which is located here. That is the highest peak in Port Dickson and this is also where the Portuguese ship 'Nassau' sank and the Portuguese lost to the Dutch.
We had out lunch here. Every now and then, we had to look back to chase away the monkeys which were trying to steal food for the picnickers. In fact, the campers just beside us lost a packet filled with cakes to these monkeys.
I guess, since we had a 1 year old with us, most of the concentration was on this boy. We enjoyed watching him explore the beach for the first time in his life. Another famous attraction here in all the beaches in Port Dickson is the 'Banana Boat' for hire. It is a unique banana shaped boat which would be anchored to a speed boat. Was thinking of trying it but the rest were quite scared, hence had to abort the idea.
After having our lunch, we decided to move on to the apartment as anyway it has already struck ten past two in the afternoon and that is the suggested check in time for this apartment. Packed our stuffs and we moved on to head to the apartment.
Generally from my brief observation this trip, PD was pretty much the same as it was a few years ago when I came here. Nothing much was done by the local authorities to promote the tourism here. Deserted hotels and apartments were still abundantly visible throughout the road. I hope, the state government does something about this soon. It is just a waste if this place could not be promoted and built back to its past glory.

So did anybody pick up the new Special Edition today?
Myself, I bought the Mr. Blonde cover. They are all the same DVD but Mr. Blonde is the sh*t.
The Deleted scences are pretty cool, especially the one with Nice Guy Eddie, Mr. Pink, and Mr. White all talking about a doctor for Mr. Orange.
The commentary is pretty good as well, along with a ton of interviews (The best one being Tarinteno's (sp?) Sundance film festival interview about his 4 showings and 2 of them being giant screw-ups.)

Jean-Claude Van Damme Has Chosen a Promoter and Country for His Fight
- Written by Dave Walsh
It was bound to happen sooner or later, and it did. We've been talking about this mythical fight Jean-Claude Van Damme has been preparing for now for just about two years, and it never felt any closer. There were talks of having Golden Boy promote the fight in Vegas, but after contacting the NSAC it was clear that they had never heard from anyone about a JCVD fight, ever, and that it would be a big risk for Oscar De la Hoya and his crew.
There were talks about China, Thailand, Japan, getting K-1 to promote the fight. There were dates, it was pushed back due to JCVD's schedule, trouble finding a suitable promoter. The list goes on and on and on and sadly, on. But it seems like JCVD has finally found suitable business partners and an arena to host such an event as a kickboxing fight against Somluck Kamsing.
Apparently the legendary Fairtex gym will be hosting JCVD's fight in November or December of this year in Thailand. Banjong Bussarakamwong of Fairtex will be promoting the fight and is currently looking for a suitable 30,000 seat arena, possibly the Impact Arena or the Hua Mak Indoor Stadium. There are talks about the fight being broadcast live across the world as well and Kamsing was given a 200,000 baht down payment (about $6,500).
We'll have to see how this shapes up, but for now this is the most concrete news we've heard on this fight, ever. [source]

Great fast friendly service good rates will use again
Really happy with the work done, went out of their way to resolve the issue which was more labour intensive than quoted as well, thanks for doing this top job!!!
Absolutely fantastic service. Mechanic arrived on time and got straight to work. Nothing was too much trouble. Explained the symptoms and within minutes the mechanic had an answer. Kept me informed all the way through the process. Will definitely add to my phone book and he will be first on my list for further work I need doing to the car. 5* service all round,
Mark arrived on time and done a great job on my Hondas brakes. He didn't rush the job and was very thorough, car stops like it's 10 years younger. Very nice guy, would not hesistate to use again. Shall recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking for a good, honest, fair priced mobile garage.
Thank you. Brilliant job, happy to use and will do so again.
The service was amazing. The car has been picked up and was ready the next day as agreed. Everything was explained as it's my first car. Will go back there again.
Called the garage in the afternoon and was able to get my car in the same day for my air con gassing. staff was helpful and informative and the price was fantastic if you are after a reliable local affordable garage i would suggest you start here
I lost time and money for transportation service ... if you have the latest technological cars please do not choose this service. Staff there is confused about the modern technology. Didn't took the money for checking the car but when I recived my car back all the component parts were on the floor . Honestly very unprofessional
Clutch and mass flywheel replaced together with a few other odds and ends. All good and happy. Nick please post paperwork as promised! I still don't know if your work carries a 12 or 24 month guarantee
Swift service, managed to book the time I wanted at short notice.
Fast and friendly service, highly recommend A+
Everything was fine, came to my house, no complaints
Excellent response time, excellent customer service, used original parts. Best experience I have had with automotive repairs in years. Price as quoted although I could specify exactly what was wrong, which I presume helped with providing an accurate quote.
Car broke down on the way home from work one evening. Put an advert on here and Autobots quote was very reasonable and their business had lots of good reviews on checkatrade. I contacted them about getting them to fix my car, they ordered in the part and fitted it the next day. They arrived earlier than originally said (which was a bonus) and the mechanic was quick to get it sorted. Had a slight problem a few days later but they came out next day and corrected it free of charge. Thanks Autobot, will definitely be using you again in the future.
Happy with the service received- my car passed MOT and service easily. Dropped off at 8am and collected again at around 4pm. No problems at all. Mike in the office was very friendly. Originally overpaid by £50 as I had not checked the original quote beforehand, but Mike refunded the payment happily.
Quick and easy, although they didn't know anything about my booking when I arrived also the website said it would be done at 8 but the garage didn't open till 8:30...
They were able to fit the job in at the last minute. The wrong item was ordered from WhoCanFixMyCar (my fault, and the garage sourced the current replacement, however at a much higher cost than market rates but this could be to do with Christmas availability). Overall happy with the job.
Absolutely brilliant, would use again.
Everything was Brilliant car is just fine
Good repair fixed in good time
Good and friendly communication. Fair value MOT £25-Gold service £125 for Mercedes C180 included car valet! Will use again.
Very good, as described. Somewhere to sit, got offered coffee, wifi would have been good as I had no signal. Took about 90 minutes but they did a lot of checks and things. Would use again.
Very pleased,promt service&steve sorted all issues,will definitely use this garage again many thanks,phil
Very good customer service, prompt timekeeping and keeping me informed what is happening.
Great work. Speedy service

Deeplinks Blog posts about RFID
A California bill (SB 682) that would bar the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in state-issued ID cards yesterday cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee -- the first major hurdle on the way to becoming law.
The good news comes in the wake of a public admission by a US State Department official that the Department is rethinking parts of its dangerous and profoundly misguided plan to put insecure RFID chips in all US passports. Of course, "rethinking" isn't nearly enough. There is no good reason to use RFIDs in ID documents to begin with, and no amount of rethinking will make that any more or less true.
As we reported last week, the US State Department is pushing to embed insecure radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips in all new US passports. These chips would broadcast your name, date of birth, nationality, unique passport number, and any other personal information contained in the passport to anyone with a compatible RFID reader.
Security experts have pointed out that because the new passports would indiscriminately expose your personal information to strangers, they could be used as "terrorist beacons," providing a terrorist, kidnapper, or thief with a means of covertly scanning a crowd at an airport -- or any other public place -- for American targets. But there are numerous other ways that RFID passports threaten your safety, privacy, and basic civil liberties.
When we envision a worst-case scenario for hacking electronic voting machines, many of us imagine a group of political zealots with a cracker-for-hire, or a lonely teenager looking for his 15 minutes of fame. But what about the people who have relatively easy access to the machines?
Avi Rubin proposes that the question (PDF) security experts should be asking about e-voting machines is whether a machine rigged to favor a particular candidate could actually make it into an election:
This is not a hacking challenge where a team of computer security experts tries to break into or tamper with voting machines. That is not my primary concern with voting equipment. My challenge is aimed directly at the certification and deployment of [paperless voting machines].
BusinessWeek published an interview last week with Scott McGregor of Phillips Semiconductor. Phillips is a leader in developing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology; Mr. McGregor breezily waves away concerns about the impact RFID use would have on privacy.
EFF's Chris Palmer took a quick look at the article; below, he responds to Mr. McGregor's assertions:
McGregor: "When I buy a garment, one of the first things I do when I get it home is cut off the tags. You can cut off RFID tags the same way."

Editorial on Steelhead Management
Sorry if this is repetitive but following is an op-ed piece I wrote and submitted to a number of regional newspapers.
Wild Steelhead: Conservation Can Turn The Tide
As we head into the holidays and the autumn rains give way to winter's snow, once again wild winter-run steelhead begin nosing into their natal streams. Unfortunately, dwindling numbers of these remarkable fish, some weighing more than 20 pounds, are returning to spawn while this state's management agency considers retaining a management strategy that has helped contribute to their decline.
Like salmon, steelhead are anadromous, meaning they are born in fresh water but go to sea to feed and grow before returning to their home river to spawn. Unlike salmon, steelhead do not die after spawning and often return to spawn a second and even third time.
Wild steelhead share the river waters with hatchery-raised steelhead, introduced to provide harvestable numbers of steelhead for both tribal net fisheries and sports fishers. Hatchery fish are identifiable by a clipped adipose fin on their back. As wild and hatchery fish head upriver, both are targeted by anglers. The majority of hatchery fish return from December through January and wild fish enter the region's rivers from December through April.
For years the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has managed wild steelhead using a model called Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). Under MSY, fish that survive to spawn in excess of the minimum needed to ensure survival of the species are targeted for harvest. Failure to harvest excess fish is called wastage.
Of course the effectiveness of this formula depends on the department's ability to
predict escapement. Yet, escapement is influenced by such factors as variations in ocean conditions, river flooding, and changes in freshwater habitat; factors that cannot be accurately reflected in the MSY formula. The result is that wild stocks are being managed to maximize harvest and not to maximize the health of the species. Under this plan, the runs suffer.
The current WDFW policy allows harvest of wild steelhead on rivers the agency considers to have healthy runs. Until the early 1980s, there were no restrictions on killing wild steelhead in Washington rivers. Since then, through combination of ocean condition cycles, habitat degradation and the accumulated effects of harvest, steelhead runs in the state have fallen on hard times.
In 1999-2000, 35 rivers were considered to have runs healthy enough to allow harvest. Currently, only 16 rivers in the state meet this designation. Faced with steep declines in wild steelhead escapements last November, the WDFW imposed emergency closures on 19 area rivers. According to WDFW biologists, poor ocean conditions caused
escapement levels to drop off the table. It is expected that these closures will remain in
effect for the foreseeable future.
Despite claims to the contrary, MSY is not working and the health of wild steelhead runs continue to deteriorate. An example of this is the condition of runs in the rivers of North Puget Sound. For many years, from December 1 to February 28, it was
legal to catch and kill wild steelhead on the Skagit, Sauk, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Snoqaulmie and Skykomish Rivers.
It was determined these rivers had healthy stocks of wild fish and as such would support harvest of excess fish. During the 1998-99 steelhead season, approximately 1,000 wild fish were legally harvested in the Snohomish River system. Two years later, the FW announced an emergency steelhead closure of these rivers because of astonishingly low estimates of returning fish.
Department data shows an estimated Snohomish River escapement of only 3,089 fish last spring. That number is far below the 80 percent of minimum escapement levels needed for spawning to sustain the run.
The closures ended not only the catch and kill seasons but also the popular catch and release spring fisheries. The state determined the
danger to these runs was so severe they could not withstand even the incidental mortality from a catch and release season.
While poor ocean conditions probably are responsible for the much of the decline,
previous harvest levels have doubtlessly contributed to the current poor health of the
runs. How could this happen if our fisheries are being managed with the future of the fish in mind?
I believe it is time to move beyond the arrogant belief that we can do a better job of managing fisheries through harvest than nature has done and can do if left alone.
This past summer, a state survey of fishing license holders showed 61 percent favored mandatory release of all wild steelhead. This is a super majority and demonstrates that anglers believe wild steelhead harvest should stop and that the fish should be put first, that we can't continue to kill our catch without the resource suffering.
A minority of those surveyed continue to believe they have a right to kill and eat all the steelhead they catch. I contend that no one has a right to kill wild steelhead when that harvest will contribute to the decreasing health and possible extinction of a run.
Catch and kill advocates claim a mandatory catch and release policy for wild steelhead will keep them from feeding their families. In this day of expensive fishing tackle and $30 fishing licenses and access stamps, subsistence is not a viable argument. Besides, with the abundant numbers of hatchery fish in the state's rivers, there exists
ample opportunity for harvest. Hatchery fish are put there for the table. Wild fish should be put back in the rivers for the future.
Wild steelhead are a legacy of the Pacific Northwest that in prior years have made our rivers world class fisheries and destinations for anglers from all over the world. Every winter and spring, anglers pour dollars into small towns like Rockport, Marblemount, Forks and Sultan. These dollars help keep guides, tackle shops, restaurants, gas stations and motels in business. Unless the killing of wild steelhead stops, this financial influx will soon be a thing of the past and with it, the many small businesses that depend on fishing related income.
On September 22, the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission sponsored a symposium on steelhead management that featured expert panelists from British Columbia, Oregon, Idaho and California. British Columbia data showed that the province's switch to catch and release fisheries resulted in increased numbers of wild fish in the rivers and increased fishing opportunities for anglers. Testimony from the other states echoed these findings. Washington stood alone in supporting continued wild steelhead kill seasons.
When will we learn from our neighbors and stop allowing the killing of these magnificent gamefish?
Now is the time for Washington to move away from an attitude of unlimited resources and towards one of conserving the gifts given us by nature. It is time to realize that more fish in a river is a measure of successful stewardship and not wastage. Finally, it is time to join the rest of the Northwest and adopt management strategies designed to save wild fish rather than kill them.
On December 7 and 8, the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission will take public testimony in Vancouver, WA on a proposal to eliminate the sport harvest of all wild steelhead. Public input is encouraged.
Written comments may be submitted during the Dec. 8 commission meeting, or mailed before the meeting to Evan Jacoby, WDFW Rules Coordinator, Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia WA 98501-1091, or emailed to Jacoby at

South Sudan: We must not look away
Toby Lanzer is the United Nations' top humanitarian official in South Sudan. Since conflict broke out in December 2013 he has travelled across the country to meet people struck by violence and coordinate the response to their needs. Here he shares some impressions from these travels.
Scenes that linger.
December 2013. Shots ring out in the capital Juba. On the UN shortwave radio, staff manning the gate at one of the main UN bases say that people are arriving, in their hundreds. We let them in. Within two days, tens of thousands of people are sheltering inside UN bases, as violence spreads around the country.
January 2014. Overcrowded barges keep arriving in Mingkaman, full of people fleeing for their lives. They are coming from Jonglei, across the river. It is expensive to get a seat on the barge; many have been left behind. Others drowned during the crossing. Those who have made it are huddled under the trees dotting the dry fields next to the river, seeking shade during the day and shelter during the night.
The women I speak with tell me the same thing: they want a safe place for their children; they need food, water and shelter. I promise them that we will come back, and that they will receive help.
February 2014. I pause for a moment at the entrance of what used to be the main hospital in Malakal, South Sudan's second largest town. Now it's a deserted shell. Bits of paper, dirty mattresses and clothes are strewn on the ground. Vultures circle overhead. A dog wanders restlessly around the debris.
Once inside, I see bodies lying on the floor – patients killed when the town was ransacked. Someone has covered their faces with blankets. When I come back three weeks later, the bodies are still there. Only bones remain. Malakal is deserted once again; no one remains to bury the dead.
March, 2014. Children with big eyes and thin legs watch us closely as our rickety canoe glides towards them. We are approaching their temporary home: a tiny island in the flood plains of southern Unity State – right in the middle of the country. The children and their families fled their homes when violence broke out at the end of 2013. Rapidly shifting frontlines have forced them to keep running.
This island represents a last shred of hope and of safety; the wetlands make it hard for armed men to reach them. What is gained in safety is lost in food and shelter. A middle-aged woman, Marta, shows me what she feeds her family: roots of water lilies, wild leaves. Children sleep in the open. The rains are coming. People are exhausted. Two weeks later, I get the news that aid agencies are in the area, taking food and fishing gear for the hungry, medicine for the sick and care for the malnourished.
April 2014. At a press conference in Geneva, I do my best to explain the magnitude of the crisis. Seven million people at risk of hunger. One million people forced from their homes. Thousands of children separated from their families. We are reaching many, but need more money and staff to do more.
Today [12 April] representatives from countries around the world are meeting in Washington D.C. to discuss what needs to be done in South Sudan. One thing is certain: we have promised to stay and deliver. Let us see that promise through.

Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, joined Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman, U.S. Rep. Rush Holt and other national leaders at Princeton to map out a strategy to renew the nation's support of physical sciences and energy research. Pelosi told a roundtable of business, education, science and political leaders that science is central to Congress' agenda but reminded the group there will be competition for scarce resources.
Tilghman hosted the discussion on the need to boost the support of science as a way of addressing the country's economic ills.

Science key to helping the economy, leaders say
Posted December 15, 2008; 04:40 p.m.
National leaders in politics, business, research and education, including Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, met on campus today and called for renewing America's commitment to science and technology. Such an effort, they said, may be the best long-term cure for the nation's ailing economy.
Following a two-hour meeting in Chancellor Green, participants in the "Innovation Agenda" roundtable spoke at a press conference, spelling out their goals for enhancing support for the physical sciences as well as expanding energy research.
From left, Holt, shown here with Tilghman and Pelosi, argued that failure to invest in physical sciences and energy research will continue to impair the nation's economic health.
Those concerns did not fall on deaf ears.
"I have said over and over again, if you want to know the agenda for this new Congress, remember four words: science, science, science and science," Pelosi said. However, referring obliquely to current crises, she warned there would be competition for resources in the coming months and that supporters of science must become active advocates for science research funding.
She pledged her support to the effort. "We stand by this as the most important investment that we can make in health and education and energy independence, job creation and the defense of America," she said.
Norman Augustine (left), retired president and CEO of Lockheed Martin, described science as an economic engine. Its central role in economic growth, he said, is not always appreciated by either scientists or the general public. He was joined at the roundtable by Princeton University President Emeritus Harold T. Shapiro.
The idea for the meeting, according to Tilghman, was to bring research to the forefront as a critical tool to fix current economic woes. The disappearance of many of the country's leading industrial laboratories, she said, leaves research universities with a central -- and lonely -- role. "If you are not getting critical new ideas and new discoveries from here, there is no place else in the country where it can happen," Tilghman said.
Tilghman and Pelosi came up with the idea for the roundtable several months ago. The main idea, according to Tilghman, was to answer "why now may be the most important time in the last three or four decades that we make a very serious investment in the kind of innovation and creativity that have always fueled this country and this economy."
Holt praised the prescience of Tilghman and Pelosi in planning the meeting and applauded the event as coming at the perfect time.
"We should make a commitment as a nation to research and development," said Holt, a physicist and former assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. "Science and scientific research," he continued, "are not luxuries to be engaged in in plush times, but rather they are the basis for economic growth, economic prosperity and quality of life."
He characterized the discussion as "hopeful" and one that would provide leaders with an opportunity to "improve people's lives and well-being." Members of the roundtable, he said, were "remarkably succinct and rich in what they had to say," and provided him with the "motivation to do it quickly."
National leaders in science and technology shared their concerns about scientific funding and how it could benefit the country's future if supported properly. Members of the roundtable included, from left: Shirley Jackson, president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Princeton Professor Michael Oppenheimer; Peter Kim, president of Merck Research Laboratories; and Maria Zuber, head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
One member of the roundtable suggested that the focus on science and technology, though warranted, may not be clear enough for those outside the mainstream of science.
"This is not about science and engineering -- this is about jobs, about jobs for everyone," said Norman Augustine, the former president and CEO of Lockheed Martin. The majority of the country's adult population, he said, is dependent on the science sector for their jobs and their future.
"I suspect that the people who years ago were working on quantum mechanics never had it in mind that they would provide our BlackBerries, our cell phones, or our iPods or what have you," he said. The science that paved the way for those products, he noted, also has produced all sorts of nonscience jobs in manufacturing, marketing, sales and maintenance. "If you pull the curtain back, you usually find that science is at the root of so many things you use every day," added Augustine, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering from Princeton.
He viewed the event as an important one for science. "Today might be a day we all remember, when we kind of turned a corner and began creating jobs for people in our entire society," he said.
Roundtable member Michael Oppenheimer, Princeton's Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, was heartened by the meeting. Oppenheimer, an expert in global climate change, said that science needs consistent funding over the long term and support to reinvigorate science education to bring in a new generation of young scientists.
"It can be done -- what it requires is political leadership," Oppenheimer said. "We can look forward to a new day with leadership such as [President-elect] Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Rush Holt."
Chancellor Green was the setting for a roundtable meeting on innovation and competitiveness in which national leaders in the science and technology community started a dialogue about how best to maintain the country's leadership in basic research and innovation.
In addition to Augustine, other business leaders attending were: Craig Barrett, chairman of the board of the Intel Corp.; and Peter Kim, president of Merck Research Laboratories.
Joining Tilghman were other educational leaders who included: Robert Berdahl, president of the Association of American Universities; John Holdren, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Public Policy at Harvard University; Shirley Jackson, president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Princeton President Emeritus Harold T. Shapiro and Charles Vest, president of the National Academy of Engineering.
Leading scientists, in addition to Oppenheimer, included: Bruce Bursten, president of the American Chemical Society; Francis Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute; Phillip Griffiths, a member of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study; Thomas Mason, director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Jeremiah Ostriker, professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton and director of the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering; and Maria Zuber, head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Others representing the House of Representatives, besides Holt and Pelosi, were: Bart Gordon, chair of the U.S. House Committee on Science and Technology; John Larson, chair of the U.S. House Democratic Caucus; Edward Markey, chair of the U.S. House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming; and George Miller, chair of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor.

In the year since Egypt's Tahrir Square uprising, some of the world's longest-surviving dictators have fallen from power, men who once seemed likely to die in their (very plush) beds. The Arab Spring that spread from Tunisia to Egypt claimed Yemen's Ali Saleh and Libya's Muammar Qaddafi and is now gunning for Syria's Bashar al-Assad. Closed societies and quasi-autocracies from Myanmar to Russia to Singapore have also witnessed stirrings of democratic change. Carl Gershman, head of the National Endowment for Democracy, the leading American democracy promotion organization, wrote that we may be entering "a Fourth Wave of democratization, which could extend democracy's reach into other regions of the world that have been most resistant to democratic change."
Don't count on it. Despite the Arab Spring, democracy actually retreated around the globe in 2011, as has been true for the last five years. For every country that has made the transition to democracy, there are numerous others—from Hungary to Pakistan, Nigeria to Thailand—that have gone backward. And public opinion surveys reveal increasing skepticism among people everywhere about whether democracy is the form of government that can best improve their lives.
The decline of democracy is a story of dashed hopes, as elected leaders have failed to deliver on their promises to boost growth while using state institutions to destroy their opponents. The economic crisis that has battered Europe, North America, and parts of Asia is also placing more stress on fragile democracies, creating a vicious cycle: The development record of dictatorships is abysmal, and they are much more likely to stumble into destabilizing conflicts. Should more countries regress into authoritarian rule, instability will increase, darkening the world economy's recovery prospects.
So what can be done? Restoring the world's commitment to democracy would bolster growth and improve the quality of life for billions. But doing so requires those in the developed world to fix what ails their democracies, too.

The Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library
Tools for Success
Annual Report
An annual report provides comprehensive information on an organization's activities throughout the preceding year. Annual reports provide community leaders and other interested people with information about the library's activities and performance. It should be brief, attractive and reinforce the library's key message. Make sure it gets into the hands of funders and other key stakeholders.
Business Card
Don't forget the obvious. Be sure to include the library's URL and hours. Give it out as often as you can.
Communication Plan
A plan will help you get a bigger bang for your buck. Elements include goals, objectives, positioning, key messages, target audiences, strategies for delivering the message and evaluation.
Fact Sheet
A good way to present key points quickly. Keep narrative to a minimum. Use bullets to highlight key facts/statistics. Shorter is better—no more than two pages. Use with public officials, community groups, reporters or anyone who wants nformation fast.
News Release
Newspapers and other media welcome a well written news release and will often run it "as is." Start with the most important information and end with the least. Be sure to cover the 5Ws (Who, What, When, Where, Why)—and H (How). Keep it short— one page if possible.
Public Service Announcement
Free space for ads may be available from local newspapers and radio stations. Ask about availability and guidelines.
Both can be useful tools for providing timely
information, especially to those who might not come into the library. The trick is to keep them simple and current.

As Dolarhyde, the cattle baron lording over the frontier town in Jon Favreau's pastiche of Western and sci-fi movies, Harrison Ford has the best lines. Like: "That's ridiculous!" — said when someone explains why Independence Day-like aliens are blasting the neighborhood. Equally confused is Daniel Craig's Man with No Name (he has amnesia), who wakes up in the desert with a funny bracelet on his wrist. For him the aliens prove a mixed blessing: they keep showing up just in time to inadvertently save the day whenever he's in tough spot. Come to think of it, everything shows up in the nick of time, whether outlaws, Indians, or the town greenhorn Doc (Sam Rockwell), who, like Jimmy Stewart in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, learns to shoot — in the nick of time. Kind of cuts down on the suspense. How to use the bracelet? "Just don't think," someone suggests. Good advice for watching the movie, too.

By School reports
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State sophomore left-hander Jacob Lindgren threw seven shutout innings as the No. 5 Bulldogs stifled off St. Joseph's 10-0 on a bitterly cold Friday afternoon at Dudy Noble Field.
The Bulldogs improved to 12-0 on their 19-game season-opening homestand. MSU pitching threw its third shutout of the season
"Jacob was outstanding today," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "On a day like this, you are battling the elements, moreso than the opponent. … It was just a miserable day to play a ballgame."
Lindgren (2-0) set new career highs with seven innings pitched and 13 strikeouts. While throwing 89 pitches, he faced two batters past the minimum and allowed one hit. John Marc Shelly threw two innings of two-hit relief.
The Bulldogs out-hit their visitors 12-3. Adam Frazier (2 for 4) hit a bases-clearing triple in a four-run sixth inning. He leads the SEC with four triples.
Alex Detz also drove in two runs as State stranded just four runners.
Starting pitcher Jack Stover (0-1) was chased in the fifth inning, after allowing seven hits and six runs (three earned) for St. Joseph's (2-5).
The Bulldogs and Hawks will resume the series with a single game at noon today and a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Ole Miss 11, FIU 9: Austin Anderson went 4-for-5 to help pace a Rebel offense that needed each one of its 16 hits in their first road series opener of the season.
Anderson drove in three runs and scored two, while Stuart Turner also came up big with a 3-for-5 night with three RBI.
Bobby Wahl (3-0) picked up the win, allowing four runs on nine hits with three walks and four strikeouts through 51⁄3 innings of work. Brett Huber picked up his fourth save.
"One of the good things about tonight was we kept scoring," said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. "It was important for us in getting the win."
FIU (7-3) trailed 9-4 in the eighth before scoring five more runs.
Game 2 is today at 3 p.m.

Today is Flag Day here in the ol' U.S. of A. It gets some coverage on the news, and sadly fewer and fewer people are displaying their flags, at least around my area (which is fairly patriotic). What other holidays don't get the treatment they deserve? And what others are out there (especially internationally, where some of us don't even know about them) we are clueless about, or how they started?
I laugh about Arbor Day (from some old radio commercial where someone was saying they would go on a diet or lose wait on "Arbor Day, definitely Arbor Day" ) at times, but trees can help all of us out (shade, apples, CO2 levels, etc.).

Fall 2012 Couture: Parties & Front Row
Rihanna doesn't fancy herself a rebel, at least when it comes to love. For Bazaar's August cover story she opens up to Laura Brown over Italian food, and admits to being "rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair. I have been conservative in my love life… it's pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I'll hang out. But the minute I find that we're getting too close I just—I don't let people in."
However, the 24-year-old still racks up the drama in the tabloids with her infamous ex, Chris Brown. While she wanted to choose someone "shocking" to collaborate on the remix of her song "Birthday Cake," she says she had no idea of the backlash it would cause. "The fans could have said, 'We don't want anything to do with it,'" she says. But she makes one concession: "I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place."
Rihanna tells Bazaar that she has yet to open up again in relationships, after being so badly hurt in the past. "When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again."

Although she may be cautious in love, Rihanna continues to push the boundaries of personal style—the singer has recently stunned in everything from lowcut Armani dresses to slouchy Stella McCartney jumpsuits. At her shoot for Harper's Bazaar, shot by Camilla Akrans, Rihanna glows in gowns by Tom Ford and Calvin Klein. And her body? Sleeker than ever. "I don't know if there's something going on with my body right now, but I'm eating everything in life!" she laughs. "I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it's not living up to its full potential right now."
There is no doubt that Rihanna is living up to her potential—she has her prized "swagger" in spades. But despite all she has achieved, she is far from done. "I'm still in denial that I've proved that, so I have to continue," she says. "I will not lose."

I have seen a lot of adult female labs in the low 40 lb range. Only problem I have seen is with retrieving large Canada's, no problems with ducks or snows.
My females avg. around 50 lbs. in "fighting weight". Doubt I'll ever apply for a swan tag, so they're more than capable of picking up anything I send them for. They also fit comfortably in the recliner!
I trained a BLF that was prob 30-40 pounds. She had her JH at 10 months. Fast little bugger and duck hunting maniac. Lives up in Beaverton and picks up 100+ birds a year for her owner. One time at the Rogue Valley HT, Bryant and Cindy Meyers judging, I sent her for the flyer and when she came hauling ass back to me with the bird I tapped my chest and she jumped up and I caught her, took the bird and handed it to Cindy and slung her over my shoulder. Was a game we played at home. Bryant kinda stuttered and stammered "you can't do that" to which I replied what, "love my dog." Ice Angel was a lot of fun to train.

My female is 53 pds, very short, compact and stocky...I am running her in the Q and because of her size, the only thing I worry about is her having trouble seeing the guns or the birds. So far it has not been a problem but I worry about this becoming an issue in the AA stakes. Is anyone had a problem with this?

My 8yo female is about 48 lbs. Lots of go and we've got AA points but honestly she's at a disadvantage with cover, line of sight, etc... and I think judges don't normally think of much smaller labs when setting up tests. It's not a beef against anyone so please don't anyone take offense. It's merely a by product of her size. She is an anomaly. I don't think I'd like a smaller lab again as it is simply very hard on her physically to keep up with the "big boys". I'm sensitive to it when I set up tests but most people laugh at me when I'm on my belly looking at marks and/or blinds to get a birdseye view from that vantage point.

I've got a little fire breather that soaking wet I hope will be 48lbs. You can't touch her determination, speed and personality. There is a market for folks looking for hunting labs that are small in structure. Ever get in a small boat with a 80lb dog, better have good obedience.
