No statistic for you but I can tell you that the 12mm of barrel length has far less to do with accuracy than the 12mm or so less sight radius. What you are going to give up with less barrel length is a little muzzle energy/velocity but likely not enough to ever be significant to you. The distance between the front and rear sights will almost certainly have an effect on your grouping though. You eye will not pick up movement between the front and rear sights as readily when they are closer together which will serve to open your groups up a bit. That coupled with a little less grip length on the G19 may make it difficult for you to group well out of the box. Of course with practice and familiarity you may be able to tighten them back up over time. If accuracy is your drive the G17 is a better choice. It will be probably be easier to shoot well and it holds a few more rounds in its stock form as well which is always a plus . My Glock 9mm is a G34 with a 5.4" barrel. I don't CCW so the compact 19 never made my list. If you really want to stretch out the sights look into the G17L.
A friend of mine shoots a G34 as well and put on a HUD red dot and removable butt stock (to each his own). Same basic pistol (identical barrell length) as mine but he nails 1lb. propane cans at fifty yds. darn near every shot, I'm good for one out of five maybe. Shooting my bone stock G34 he'd never hit it all. The difference being a whole lot more stable sight picture with his accessories. The longer sight radius on the G17 vs. the G19 will contribute to a more stable sight picture for you as well.
Merry Christmas,
PS: Those 1lb. propane cans are always empty and never sitting on a rock next to the fire

Robin van Persie has urged the Emirates crowd to stick around and see the future of Arsenal today.
There is no service on the Victoria Line on Sunday so the Club are giving the fans an extra reason to stay in the ground after our Premier League clash with Stoke City.
Immediately after the final whistle, at approximately 3.20pm, Arsenal's Under-18s will take on their Chelsea counterparts in a friendly match at Emirates Stadium.
Robin hopes the next generation of Arsenal talent will draw a big crowd.
"When you're 17 or 18 all you want to do is to play at Emirates, so it's a dream come true for them and with a packed stadium it will be even more special," he told the Official Matchday Programme.
"I hope that most supporters will stay and have a look at the future of Arsenal; I've seen the Under-18s play a couple of times recently and I can assure you there are some very promising boys coming through.
"Hopefully we in the first team can do our job with a nice win so that everybody is in the mood to stay around for more!
"I'll certainly be watching their match with great interest, and it would be fantastic if the fans were able to stay as well."

The Petrie Project
The famous English Egyptologist and archaeologist, W.M.F. Petrie is often called "The Father of Archaeology". The Glyptotek's Egyptian collection includes many exciting discoveries from his and his contemporaries' excavations at the beginning of the 20th century. They have now been examined closer and put into context.
W.M.F. Petrie and the New Carlsberg Foundation
At the beginning of the 20th century, the New Carlsberg Foundation supported excavations in Egypt undertaken by the English Egyptologist and archaeologist, W.M.F. Petrie, and some of his contemporaries. It was common practice at the time for the unique finds from an excavation to remain in Egypt, while the remainder could be distributed among the sponsors. In this way find groups were split up and are to be found today in various museums in Egypt, Europe, the USA and as far away as Australia. The New Carlsberg Foundation's share was turned over to the Glyptotek.
"The Father of Archaeology" in Egypt
Petrie began his career in Egypt in 1880, when, as a 26 year-old he surveyed the site of the Pyramids at Giza and the Great Pyramid of Kheops. He became fascinated by the work in Egypt and went on to excavate innumerable locations, where he often lamented the heavy-handed excavation methods of earlier times. As he was a pioneer in methodical archaeology and undertook more detailed documentation than his predecessors, he is often called "The Father of Archaeology". Every year he published an annual excavation report with illustrations.
The Petrie Finds at the Glyptotek
The Carlsberg Foundation's Petrie Project has examined all the objects in the Egyptian collection which came from Flinders Petrie's excavations. It has been documented precisely where each comes from and they have been studied in connection with finds from the same excavations, the same tombs, and same temples etc. which are now in other museums. They are thus put into a broader context and so contribute to an understanding of these finds spots. The Petrie discoveries at the Glyptotek are, in this way, also part of a larger network of collections and museums with corresponding finds.

Satellite Waiver Request
A satellite waiver is a grant of permission from a local TV station that allows a viewer to import or subscribe to a distant or out-of-market network station. Satellite waivers are allowed for those households that are not capable of receiving the local network station using a properly installed conventional rooftop antenna. These households are allowed to purchase network stations via satellite.
Many people feel that they have a "right" to purchase anything they want and are often upset when a request for a waiver is denied. There is no such "right". Local TV stations have a franchise with the network to be the exclusive distributor of that network in their market. NBC owns the rights to their programming. They contract with local stations called affiliates to broadcast NBC programming in a particular market area. Other stations are not allowed to broadcast NBC programming in that same market. For example, a Montana broadcaster cannot open a station and broadcast NBC programming in Seattle because there is already an NBC station in Seattle with exclusive rights to broadcast NBC programming. Conversely, a Seattle station cannot broadcast NBC programming in Montana. Cable TV and satellite companies are also bound by these agreements. They are not allowed to import distant or out-of-market NBC stations because they do not own the rights to that programming. NBC owns the rights and grants those rights to the local affiliate stations by way of a contract.
There are many examples of this in other products. If you are a grocer in Bozeman and want to sell Coca-Cola in your store, you must purchase the soft drink from the local Coca-Cola bottling company. You can't buy the product from a dealer in Spokane and sell it in Bozeman. You can choose not to sell Coca-Cola in your store but if you want to sell it, you must purchase it from the local bottling company. As another example, only one TV network gets to air the Superbowl. Each network bids for the rights to the game and only one is the winner. In this case the National Football League owns the rights to the game.
NBC Montana no longer issues waivers for satellite viewers. The reason for this is that both Dish Network and DirecTV carry either KECI or KTVM depending on the viewer?s market. If viewers feel there is some reason that they need a waiver a request in writing explaining their reasons in detail needs to be sent to the Director of Engineering c/o KECI Television. E-Mails are acceptable. The request will be reviewed and a decision will be made within 10 business days.
(1) I don't want to put up an ugly outdoor antenna, why can't I get a waiver? I am not physically capable of putting up an outdoor antenna, why can't I get a waiver?
If you can receive a Grade B or better with a properly installed rooftop antenna, then you are not entitled to a waiver. This is the law, specifically The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act, as amended in 1999. For those who don't want to put up an antenna for ascetic reasons, you might try putting the antenna in an attic. For those who are not capable of putting up an antenna, call the installer of your satellite dish, they may be able to help you with the installation.
(2) How does the TV station determine who gets a waiver and who doesn't?
We make a determination as to whether or not you can receive a signal from one of our stations. We base that determination on our extensive knowledge of where our signals reach and where they don't. We also employ the latest computer prediction method, which is often called the Longly-Rice model. Finally, there are hundreds of locations that we have visited and performed on site evaluations. These on site evaluations are done with a consumer type portable TV set using rabbit ears or a rod antenna.
(3) What is a Grade B signal?
A Grade B signal is defined by the FCC as the minimum voltage needed by a TV receiver to make a good quality picture. Specifically a Grade B picture requires a minimum of 64 dbu (db above 1 microvolt per meter) for UHF stations (channels 14-69); 56 dbu for high band stations (channels 7 - 13); and 47 dbu for low band stations (channels 2 - 6).
(4) The station engineer says I can receive their station but I cannot get anything?
Most people who have this problem do not have their antenna installed properly. Check for good connections; insure that your TV is set up properly (select antenna rather than CATV or cable; this is usually found using the SETUP menu); situate the antenna so that the lead-in wire is as short as possible.
(5) What antenna should I purchase and where do I find one?
Most TV dealers and repair shops also sell antennas and can recommend one that is right for you. We do not recommend the small antenna that mounts around the satellite dish nor do we recommend amplified rabbit ears. You can go to www.antennaweb.org and fill in your address. This site will tell you what channels you can receive, where to point your antenna, and what kind of antenna you should purchase. To make it easier, the antenna types are color-coded.
(6) I do not have a line of sight to the TV tower, can I still get a good picture from the station?
Yes! TV signals do sink into valleys and bend over mountaintops. Just because you can't "see" the tower doesn't mean that you can't get a clear picture.
(7) I have tried all of the suggestions but still cannot get a picture on your channel. What can I do? Is there any way to appeal your decision?
You have the right to challenge our decision to deny you a waiver. You must call your satellite service provider and request a challenge to our decision. Your satellite provider will contact us and we will agree on an unbiased third party to come to your residence and measure the signals. The technician will take five readings at various locations on your roof; these readings are then averaged. If a Grade B or better level is measured the waiver stays denied and the satellite service provider must pay for the evaluation. On the other hand, however, if a Grade B or better signal cannot be measured at your residence, the waiver denial is reversed and we pay for the on site evaluation. There is no appeal beyond this.
(8) I hear that the local stations are available to satellite subscribers?
KECI/KCFW and KTVM are available on both DishNetwork and DirecTV. Contact your satellite provider to receive NBC Montana.
9) Local zoning or community covenants prevent me from putting up an outdoor antenna. What can I do?
The FCC has made provisions that allow pre-emption of local zoning restrictions for rooftop antennas. If you were allowed to install a satellite dish, you will be allowed to install an outdoor antenna.
(10) How do I know what channel I tune to get NBC from my local NBC affiliate?
Our main channels are KCFW TV-9 in Kalispell; KECI TV-13 in Missoula; KTVM TV-6 in Butte and KTVM TV-6&42 in Bozeman. For other areas use the following list as a guideline:
Basin ch 2; Boulder ch 13; Darby/Conner ch 2; Drummond ch 10; East Missoula ch 14; Eureka ch 2; Ferndale/Lakeside ch 6; Big Sky ch 9; Hot Springs ch 5; Jackson ch 8; Lennep/Martinsdale ch 10; Libby ch 60; Philipsburg ch 9; Plains ch 11 or ch 68; Polson ch 7; St Regis ch 5; Superior ch 3; Thompson Falls ch 11; Three Forks ch 35; Virginia City ch 10; Ennis ch 9; White Sulphur Springs ch 7.
(11) I own an RV (Recreational Vehicle) and would like to be able to receive NBC programming when I travel. Can I get a waiver?
Yes! You must supply a copy of the RV's registration and other documents to your satellite service provider.

Dr. Paul Keim is a professor of biological sciences at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff, where his research program focuses on microbial forensics and the genomic analysis of pathogenic bacteria. As an expert in Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium responsible for anthrax, Dr. Keim participated in the FBI's investigation into the anthrax letter attacks back in 2001.
Microbial forensics is a field that developed in response to the twin threats of biological warfare and biological terrorism. (What's the difference between biological warfare and biological terrorism? Both have the potential to reach beyond the site of the attack and both are a menace to innocent, unarmed citizens. To me, there's a fine line here. But I digress.)
Dr. Keim's interest in microbial forensics arose out of his postdoctoral work at the University of Utah. After this training in phage recombination and genomics, Dr. Keim applied what he had learned about bacterial genetics in a collaboration with scientists working on resolving and identifying the various strains of B. anthracis. Fast forward to this past summer, when the F.B.I. revealed that Dr. Keim used his expertise on B. anthracis to help in the investigation that concluded a researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) perpetrated the anthrax attacks. Dr. Keim, along with several other scientists who helped in the F.B.I.'s
investigation, will be speaking at ASM's Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting in Baltimore in February, where they'll present the facts about their contributions to the criminal investigation.
In this podcast, I talked with Dr. Keim about his work with the F.B.I., whether the payoffs of bioterrorism research are worth the costs, and about how the plague (yes, the Black Death) made its way to North American shores and continues to sicken about a dozen people every year.

Synchronise Your Diet And Cardio
Warning: Crash Diets And
Increased Cardio Don't Work
Here's how to synchronise your diet and cardio in the healthiest and most efficient way possible to get the kind of muscle mass you're dying to show off.
Create a negative balanceTo synchronise your diet and cardio, remember: In order to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume. If you don't achieve this negative balance, you aren't going to lose any weight. Alternately, if you achieve too much of a negative balance, you're more likely to lose muscle weight along with some fat. This is the undesirable part of the equation.
You can create this negative balance through diet, through increased physical activity or through a combination of both — which is the route most people take. This is the acceptable and best way to synchronise your diet and cardio with the goal of losing weight.
Don't shock your systemMost people who want to lose weight want to see results right away, which leads to a drastic decrease in food intake and an increase in time spent on the treadmill. Talk about shocking the system.
In this situation, the body perceives a state of famine and slows down its metabolism so that you are, in fact, burning very few calories per minute. This total daily reduction in metabolic rate means you're not going to lose the amount of weight you expect to, and is the very reason why it's so important to synchronise your diet and cardio.
Add a massive amount of cardio to your low-calorie diet, and the situation worsens. Not only does your body perceive a famine, but it's also being forced to exercise for a lengthy period every day. What's it going to do first? Well, since cardio is a catabolic exercise, it's going to break down the most metabolically active tissue available — muscle.
Do one firstThe best way to synchronise your diet and cardio is to transition into your goals. If you'd rather reduce your food intake, diet first. Don't add the cardio right away; first see what kind of progress you can make with diet alone.
Likewise, if you hate giving up food, add some cardio into your routine. As your weight loss begins to slow down, you can either add more cardio or start to diet.
More ways to synchronise your diet and cardio…

Well, Next year about this same time I hope, depending on the Molding process to have an Entire Decoy Line. Full Body Mallards, Full Body Honker, Silhouettes, Snow & Honkers & Mallards, Wind Socks Snows & Honkers, Mallards. I have a line of things to get done between now and next year.
I have been giving a lot of thought however to Dedicating 20% of Profits to the South Eastern Duck Production U.S. PPR , SE South Dakota, SW Minnesota , Iowa PPJV & Mo. River Basin IA. & NE. This thought I have would be placed in Long Term Agreement with those states and targeted regions and if my Son decides to sell the company or future Grandchildren for that matter, that plan would be apart of any sale of the company.
Anyway when this is done waterfowlers will be Impressed with the Quality, Style, Durability, Effectiveness and Abilities of the Product to perform and perform WELL. I have done a very long field test trial period and I can say this, in the 10 year period where I have been working on these I have only had 1 failure and that was my fault Not the product. Guys want good looking decoys, Guys want motion decoys, guys want quality & affordability, It's coming.
I have always been a BigFoot man and in this process I told myself, If I could produce that level of quality and durability that Art has done, I would give the business a shot. I didnt want to be like every other decoy company or waterfowl product company. I wanted to stand out among the Big Boys even being a gold fish in a shark tank and give back to the sport and its future, doing something in turn that it has given me my whole life as a waterfowler. Absolute joy and I wish to continue that for others and future generations of waterfowlers long after my ass is pushing Daisies. I want to leave something behind that helps waterfowl, waterfowl habitat and waterfowlers. I think if everything goes well, I will have done exactly That.

The Bemidji City Council last night took the first formal step towards regulating the license and sale of electronic cigarettes.
Discussion of the proposed ordinance showed there was little agreement on how the city should move forward with new regulations for the devices. During the discussion, city council member Reed Olson said that the language of the proposed ordinance was "draconian," pointing out that it could be interpreted to make carrying electronic cigarettes in the city illegal. City Manager John Chattin agreed.
The council agreed that language in the ordinance, which changes the city's existing tobacco regulations, would need to be altered. The new ordinance is set for a public hearing at the next council meeting on November 4.

I can get both shells at $155 a case. just was not sure exactly which ones would be best, I have always believed that the more pellets in the sky, the better you would have odds at killing a duck than with fewer pellets. I would think the speed should not matter that much either.
I have had good luck with the patternmaster tube, i also have a kicks but it just seems not to drop ducks as does the PM. is there any other choke tubes yall use that you would recommend, not that i am changing but for the sake of conversation. one other question if I may, does anyone know the difference in the 3 lines of chokes that Pattenmaster has out now?

I live one day at a time. I cherish every moment that I have. There was a point in my life when I realize that kind of philosophy and since then Im not the same. I would go out and have fun with friends and family cause the most important in life are people and relationships. I used to be a loner and what a waste of time that was. Now, I just want to live like today is my last.

|Topic Review (Newest First)

mixing fuels
Well I am no chemist or any of that stuff to brag about, but I do have a lot of experience with gasoline and running different octanes in engines. Running a gasoline with a severely higher octane than the engine requires will adversely affect the engines performance as it wont burn effectively, without doing major tuning to use that octane. Ill stack my experience over lab theories any day. The only advantage to running any fuel that is extremely higher in octane than the engine requires is that the engine may run nominally cooler, simply because the combustion isnt complete.
There are also other considerations like specific gravity of fuels, and btu out put to tend with. For instance, AV Gas generally weighs 1/2 lb to the gallon less than does standard pump gas of the same octane, requiring larger jetting.
Not necessarily...
Hi folks,
The toluene idea is very viable for use as an octane booster. Modern gasolines have a large percentage of aromatics similar to toluene, around 15-30%. This is where they get alot of their octane rating. I think pure toluene has an octane rating of around ~116 or so? Maybe someone could correct me. If you run a 30% mix of 93 octane/toluene you will get 100 octane, and that would allow significantly increased compression. It is also cheaper if you buy it in larger quantities, and can be obtained for around $2.50/gallon, same cost as gas.
If you run that though you may need to re-calibrate your carb as it can change the specific gravity of the fuel.
Cars will never run worse with high octane than low octane. Running different fuel brings up issues as noted above. However, leaded gas will mess up your O2 sensor permanently if your car is fuel injected. And high octane does not say anything about burn rate, just resistance to detonation. It is due to the molecular structure of petroleum components, ie low octane has an abundance of straight chain hydrocarbons vs. high octane with alot of branched/ring hydrocarbons.
About compression vs. octane, it is a complex issue, primarily relating to compression chamber design. If you have an efficient chamber, especially one like the ford yates head, and run a small chamber with large quench areas and a reverse dome piston, you could probably run 11.5:1 on 93 octane. But, if you take an open chamber head and a domed piston, you would hit 10:1 and be pinging like hell due to total lack of quench area and poor flame travel.
This is certainly an interesting topic!
BTW I am Biochemistry/Organic chemistry major at UW-Madison, so if you have any other chemistry questions feel free and ask! I have to put my useless knowledge to work somehow....
At 10.2:1 you should be able to run on 91 octane with no problems.
I have an iron headed 11:1 SBC. It runs on 91.
You are wasting your money on race gas. Your car would run faster with 91 octane. Running too much octane is bad for your engine, and bad for performance.

hmmmmmm Ive never noticed any one particular brand to be any better than any other, with the exception of back in the 70's I used to run Shell gas almost exclusively, because I found its performance to be so much better. ( Couldnt get Sonoco in California). Today, the gas mixtures are combined by govt regulations for specific parts of the US. My Brother In Law owns a Connico bulk plant and he actually tanks gasoline to just about every brand label you can think of in the area, including the Amico and Chevron stations in the area. So in a word, at least in this area, it all comes from the same well.
yes, amaco gas is superior
does anyone know why?
|We use a 50/50 mix with VP clear or C12 and Amoco's highest petrol. Never had a problem. Jetting is slightly different than what most carb shop recommend but aren't they all? We are very careful about mixing it so we can be sure of it's repeatablility. VP at 7.67 a gallon we do our best to conserve fuel cost's.
|Toluene does make a great booster, but as mentioned be very carefull with it. It has a high flash point. Static can set it off. You could probably get away with adding a quart per tank as a booster. I work in a printing plant that uses toluene and safety is the big concern around here! With several 10,000 gallon tanks around, it could make a big boom!

fuel mixing
If you arent having any problems with your engine running on hi test pump gas, I wouldnt mess with mixing them. If you are just wanting to get rid of the racing fuel, it probably wouldnt hurt to dump in a gallon or two with each fill up. Running the higher octane fuel, if your engine isnt needing it, can and will hurt your performance. You dont want to run any more octane than your engine actually needs.
The best alternative is to just hang on to it to when its 4 days til payday and you have an empty gas tank.
As for lead substitutes, unless you have a problem with exhaust valve erosion, I wouldnt bother with the stuff. I have run pre unleaded gas engines for several years on unleaded gas and didnt have any problems of that nature. And if you do have a problem with exhaust valve seat erosion, the best thing to do is to take the heads and have hardened valve seat inserts installed.
A word of advice, if you mess with toluene, do it in a well ventilated place, and wear protection on your hands and a real filter mask. Highly toxic stuff.
I used to run a 50/50 mix of 105 AV gas with 91 octane pump gas in a modified I raced. Decided to run it on just the 91 octane once to see what happened. Actually ran better. I was running a 10.5:1 compression ratio in a Cleveland.
go to the hardware store, buy a gallon of pure tolulene, mix it with your high test 89. i will find a conversion chart for octane booster,and post a link. i have done this repeatedly on a high comp 318 ,and it stopped the ping . i opened it up years after rebuild and its got clean combustion chambers too.
i think its $3.89 a gal at do it best
man i cant believe im actually recommeding this! so im not,iam just throwing a new idea out there for those who think outside the box. alos i think its the same ting as some offshelf octane boosters. i swear!
Save money...if anyone has actually used this and had a bad expirience they probably mixed wrong.
no tolulene leaves no residue,burns relatively clean shouldNT affect emissions,terribly cancerous
(i dont use in my hotrod)
|No pinging problems. I currently have 1/2 tank of pure Torco Blue 110 I feel that this is a waste of $ and the slow burn could cause me some future problems. I have heard of some peoples engines running worse over time using only the 110 race gas (street driving).
|Just out of curiousity are you having pinging problems or something? I've always read to use as low of octane as you can as higher octanes take longer to burn.
Mixing race gas with premium unleaded
I am looking for other opions on the subject of mixing leaded race gas (Torco Blue 110) and premium unleaded 93 octane. I am currently running a 66 GTO with a 400 at approximately 71 to 72 cc chamber volume. My heads are #62 castings that are highly ported with stainless steel valves and NO hardened seats. My compression ratio calculates to 10.2 : 1 I have read about other guys using only the Torco blue with mixed results. If I mix both types of fuels, what is a good ratio and should I use the "lead substitute" to offset the unleaded fuel? Thanks for your comments.

This week, I made the recipe at my house and it was a big hit! The kids insisted on ice cream (we used vanilla) one of the last times we went shopping so we had all the ingredients - we used root beer instead of coke and the kids portions were more soda than coffee. It turned out to be a very easy and fun dessert!
Coffee Float (cold)
3/4 cup strong coffee
1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup cream
1 scoop of coffee flavored ice cream
250 ml Coca Cola
Sweeten coffee with sugar, and chill
Mix coffee and cream
Fill 4 glasses half full
Add one scoop of ice cream to each glass
Top with Coke
So there you have a simple crowd pleaser that can only be outdone with whipped cream and sprinkles - one of which my husband added to it, not to try and outdo me or anything...
Join us again next week where we give you more heated (in more ways than one) recipes that will be sure to keep you warm during these cold winter evenings..
Is there a coffee recipe you would like to see?
Do you have a burning coffee question you would like us to answer?
Please keep your coffee questions rolling in by leaving them in a comment here or emailing one of us at:
Enjoy your weekend and remember to Respect the Cup!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas- Six Texas A&M athletic greats will be inducted in the Texas A&M Letterman's Association Hall of Fame while a dedicated couple and a longtime athletic department worker will be inducted into the Texas A&M Hall of Honor. One of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's Junction Boys will receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the 35th annual Burgess Banquet which will be held Friday, Nov. 16 at the Zone Club at Kyle Field beginning at 7 p.m.
Aggie golf All-American Danny Briggs, stellar track and field standout and current Aggie assistant track and field coach Juan De La Garza, women's track and field All-American Melissa Gulli Cook, the all-time winningest baseball coach in Texas A&M history Mark Johnson, dual sport standout Lisa Langston from women's basketball and women's track and field, along with Aggie All-American defensive back and return specialist Jason Webster will join the Hall of Fame as the 2012 induction class.
In the Hall of Honor, Dorothy and Artie McFerrin are long-time Aggie supporters who can be seen at most every Aggie athletic event and have been instrumental in upgrading facilities across the athletics program and the overall university. Tedi Ellison will be inducted into the Hall of Honor for her role serving as the academic advisor for women student-athletes from 1984 to 1989 and then her continued work as the Director of NCAA Compliance at Texas A&M from 1990 until 1999.
For the second consecutive year, the Letterman's Association has tabbed an outstanding person for the Lifetime Achievement Award and Billy Pete Huddleston will receive this honor. Huddleston was a member of the Aggie football team that Coach Bryant took to Junction and Huddleston survived and thrived being named the team captain in 1955. After earning his degree in petroleum engineering in 1957, Huddleston was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the United States Air Force and served from 1958-60. After starting with Marathon Oil Company in 1967, he established Huddleston and Company, Inc. and continues to serve as its chairman. As a co-founding member of the Texas A&M Letterman's Association, Huddleston has been a loyal supporter of the Corps of Cadets and also served on the Dwight Look College of Engineering Advisory Council. He taught in the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering from 1981 until 1998 and he also received the Robert L. Whiting Professorship of Excellence in Teaching. Huddleston is originally from Iraan, Texas, and currently lives in Houston.
Danny Briggs '83, was a four-year letterman (1980-83), a three-time All-SWC selection and earned All-America mention three seasons for Coach Bob Ellis. Briggs helped the Aggies win the 1982 Southwest Conference Championship and he was crowned the individual champion. The Aggies would finish fourth at the NCAA Championships in 1982 and Briggs finished eighth individually as he carded a seven-under 65 in one round of the NCAA Championships. Briggs would go on to play on the PGA Tour from 1985-2000 and then again from 2004-05. Briggs came to Aggieland from Paris, Texas, and currently resides in Franklin, Texas.
Juan De La Garza '85, came to Texas A&M from Wharton Junior College where he won the 1982 national championship in the javelin and earned All-American honors throwing the javelin in 1983 and 1984 for the Aggies and head coach Charlie Thomas. De La Garza would stay on as a graduate assistant before joining track coach Pat Henry at Blinn Junior College in 1986 and then went with Henry to LSU in 1987 and helped the Tigers win two national outdoor championships in men's track and field and four national outdoor crowns on the women's side in Baton Rouge. The women's team would also add a national indoor championship to the trophy cases. De La Garza continued to compete and won the 1987 Pan American bronze medal and won the Mexican national javelin championship 22 times. He owns the Mexican national record in the event at 260-6 and also is the A&M record holder (268-2 with the old implement). De La Garza earned two degrees from Texas A&M with an animal science degree in 1985 and a degree in range management in 1987. He continues to serve on Coach Pat Henry's Texas A&M track and field coaching staff helping the men's and women's track and field programs earn an unprecedented three-peat as outdoor national champions in both sports in 2009, 2010 and 2011. De La Garza and his wife, Kristie, and family live in College Station.
Melissa Gulli Cook '02, earned five letters in cross country and track and field and was the premier long distance runner for Coach Ted Nelson and women's head coach Ed Marcinkiewicz. She earned All-America honors in both the indoor and outdoor 5,000 meters in 2001 and earned All-America honors in the indoor 5,000 again in 2002 and 2004 while earning All-America accolades in the 10,000 meters in 2004. A four-time Big 12 champion in various long distance events, Gulli Cook was the NCAA runner-up in the 5,000 meters at the 2001 outdoor championships and was runner-up again in the 2002 NCAA Indoor Championships. Gulli Cook held the Texas A&M school record in the outdoor 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters and the indoor records for 3,000 and 5,000 meters entering this past school year. (Current Aggie Natosha Rogers broke all four records this year.) In fact, she held the top five school marks in the indoor 5,000 meters and the top six marks in the indoor 3,000 meters before this season. Gulli Cook attended Klein High School before coming to Aggieland and currently resides in Flower Mound, Texas.
Mark Johnson is the all-time winningest baseball coach in Texas A&M history and served as the Aggies' head coach from 1985 through 2005 compiling a record of 876-431-3 (.670) in Aggieland.

Johnson and his wife, Linda, currently call College Station home within easy driving distance of grandchildren.
Dr. Lisa Langston '86, was a two-sport standout as she was a four-year (1983-86) letter winner in women's basketball under the guidance of Coach Cherri Rapp and Coach Lynn Hickey and earned two letters (1986-87) in track and field under Charlie Thomas and Ted Nelson as well. She earned first-team All-SWC honors in 1985 and was the first Texas A&M selection as the SWC Player of the Week during the 1984 season. She was selected to play in the 1983 Sports Festival and was invited to the United States Olympic tryouts for the 1984 USA squad. Her name is found across the basketball record book as she finished with a 16.3 scoring average and totaled 1,615 points to go along with 236 steals and a 6.2 rebounding average. She also is found on the top 10 performers in the 100 meter hurdles in track and field and finished third at the 1986 Southwest Conference outdoor championships. Off the hardwood and the track, she was a 1986 SWC All-Academic team member and earned her bachelors of science degree with a minor in biology from Texas A&M in 1986 and then received her master's from Tarleton State in 1998 and her doctorate in 2010 from Texas Women's University. Langston came to A&M from Spruce High School in Dallas and she currently serves as an assistant athletics director for the Fort Worth Independent School District.
Jason Webster '00, an Aggie football All-American in the defensive backfield as well as a punt and kick returner, earned four letters (1996-99) for Coach R.C. Slocum. Webster received the top honor for a senior Aggie football player as his teammates voted him the 1999 Aggie Heart Award winner as well as the Wrecking Crew's MVP that same year. As a freshman in 1996, Webster was voted the special teams MVP and earned Academic All-Conference honors. In 1997 he led the team in passes broken up with nine as the Aggies won the Big 12 South division crown. The 1998 season would see Webster lead the team once again with seven breakups and two pickoffs as the Aggies won the South division and defeated top-ranked Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game in St. Louis to advance to the Sugar Bowl. His first career punt return went for 55 yards against Oklahoma in 1998 for an Aggie touchdown. Webster would end his career with 27 passes broken up which ranked fifth all-time when he was drafted in the second round of the 2000 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers where he played through the 2003 season. He spent three years with the Atlanta Falcons and then finished by playing the 2007 season with the Buffalo Bills and the 2008 season with the New England Patriots. Webster came to Texas A&M from Willowridge High School in Missouri City, Texas, and currently spends time in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as the Houston area.
Nominees for the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Honor must have made great and/or unusual contributions in personal time and effort, financial support and/or material and services over and above all ordinary expectations of the average supporter of Texas A&M athletics. The three recipients of the 2012 class are all extraordinary.
Tedi Ellison has served on numerous boards and committees around the Brazos Valley and Texas A&M University through the years. She came to Texas A&M to serve as an academic advisor for female student-athletes and played a crucial role as women's athletics thrived during her tenure. After her stint as academic advisor (1984-89), she moved to Director of Compliance and reported directly to the President of Texas A&M University from 1990 through 1999. Tedi and her husband Chuck live in College Station.
Dorothy and Artie McFerrin reside in Kingwood but can be seen at most every Aggie athletic event during the year. The couple has been a member of the 12th Man Foundation for over 25 years and Artie currently serves on the Executive Board, donating even more time and efforts to the overall welfare of Texas A&M University. When athletics and the 12th Man Foundation needed to upgrade facilities the McFerrin's stepped forward with the lead gift for the indoor football practice facility, the indoor track and field facility as well as the Cox-McFerrin Center for Basketball. The McFerrin's selfless service and support includes the Corps of Cadets and many programs across the campus. Artie was recently honored as a Distinguished Alumnus for Texas A&M.

Hauser Senior Fellow and Adjunct Lecturer Nathalie Laidler-Kylander will be at the Harvard Coop Thursday, Feb 27 at 7:00pm to discuss her new book. Offering a new framework for nonprofit brand management, The Brand IDEA (Integrity, Democracy, and Affinity) eschews traditional, outdated brand tenets of control and competition largely adopted from the private sector, in favor of a strategic approach centered on the mission and based on a participatory process, shared values, and the development of key partnerships. The results are nonprofit brands that create organizational cohesion and generate trust in order to build capacity and drive social impact. The book explores in detail how nonprofit organizations worldwide are developing and implementing new ways of thinking about and managing their organizational brands.

Arsène Wenger wants Arsenal fans to experience 'something special' at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Frenchman has set his sights on beating Barcelona, and wants to do it without resorting to "ugly" football.
The Gunners are renowned for their brand of attacking football and Wenger won't be instructing his side to play any other way against the European champions.
"The best way is to first win the game," he said. "Is the ugly way the best way to win? That is where you have to convince me.
"I believe the most efficient way is to play good football and not to kick the ball in the stand, because there is no goal there, the goal is on the pitch.
"We will try to play the way we are used to - you cannot change that from one match to the next, but we do want to be efficient with our game.
"We have to enjoy it and be excited about it. I am confident that we can respond to the expectation of all people who love football but also our fans because they want us to do something special and we want to deliver that.
"They are an individual and collective threat but so are we.
"That makes the game tomorrow interesting. I am very happy because I love football and above all, I love Arsenal. And for Arsenal to have this opportunity to do it tomorrow against Barcelona is fantastic."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Developing tricks and tools to keep their enzymes in order is one way thermophiles survive. They also use techniques to keep their DNA from falling apart under intense heat. Like proteins, the parts of the long, spiral ladder-shaped DNA molecule start to unravel and break apart under high heat. One way thermophiles keep that from happening is with a helper enzyme called "reverse DNA gyrase" <jeye-race>.
You may have read elsewhere in this site that bacteria sometimes form protective spores to help them survive through tough times. Some other kinds of microbes do, too. Here's how that transformation takes place.
When you go to the dentist to have your jaws X-rayed, you'll notice that you have to wear a heavy lead apron—and the person who takes the X-ray leaves the room to do it. X-rays are safe, but these precautions give you some sense of how careful we have to be around even relatively harmless levels of radiation. The problem is that unsafe levels of radiation can mess with the cells and molecules in our body, warping them and even breaking them apart. It does the same thing to microbial cells.

In recent years, scientists have turned up microbes living in the frigid waters of Antarctic lakes that are permanently covered with snow and a thick layer of ice. Scientists have found microbes thriving in the wind-blasted rocks and soil atop high mountain summits and in polar snow.

Bagley Middle School out of Chatsworth clinched its place in Perry by posting the top overall team score at the third Georgia-National Archery in the Schools Program regional tournament Saturday.
Bagley Middle's archery team fired a 3,364, the highest team score after three regionals, to beat eight other schools and qualify for the 8th annual Georgia-NASP State Tournament April 8th at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.
North Murray High School in Chatsworth won the high school division with a team score of 3,266, while defending National Champion Woodlawn Elementary shot a 3,040 to capture the elementary school division. Both teams qualify for the state tournament with their respective regional division titles.
Bagley Middle's Justin Stafford arrowed a 289 (out of 300) to win the overall high-scoring male title at the regional, while Bagley Middle's Alyssa Laviana shot a 285 to take home top female honors.
Other top individual shooters included: North Murray High's Devin Long (287, top high school male); North Murray High's Haley Bagley (284, top high school female); Cohutta Elementary's Chad Brock (272, top elementary school male); and Woodlawn Elementary's Mallie Rich (271, top elementary school female).
More than 200 students in elementary, middle and high school competed at Georgia-NASP Regional No. 3 at Woodlawn Elementary in Chatsworth. Other competing schools were Northwest Elementary School, Kennesaw Charter Science and Math Academy, Gladden Middle, Ashworth Middle and Murray County High. Final tournament results are posted at www.nasptournaments.org.
Schools that did not win their division and an automatic berth to state at the regional tournament can still be selected as a high-scoring wildcard team after the final regional tournament is completed March 1. Wildcard standings will be posted at www.georgiawildlife.com/NASP along with regional, state and national tournament rules, regulations, and more.
More than 1,500 student archers have registered to compete in the seven regional Georgia-NASP tournaments held Feb. 1-March 1. The remaining regional tournaments will be held in Wrightsville (Feb. 15), Demorest (Feb. 22), Valdosta (March 1) and Fort Valley (March 1).
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in more than 100 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 48 states as well as 10 countries. To date, more than 12 million students have gone through the program. For more information, visit www.georgiawildlife.com/NASP.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
using a company's Internet connection during working hours for activities which are not work-related, such as shopping, playing games and sending personal e-mails
'For bosses, cyberslacking is becoming a pervasive and perplexing problem in the new wired workplace …'Newsweek 29th November 1999
'With the virtual world becoming a reality in every office and a large number of workers having constant access to the Net, cyberloafing, if one may call it that, is no more an aberration, but a problem …'The Tribune 3rd December 2001
'Cyberslackers are costing Britain's small businesses almost £1.5bn per year … A survey has found that many workers at small and medium businesses are wasting time with e-mail messages and websites that have nothing to do with their jobs.'BBC News 1st November 2002
How many of us could honestly say that we spend every moment of our working hours engaged in some work-related activity? We're all guilty of an odd personal phone call or two, or a quick chat, and the Internet now gives us a whole new opportunity to divert our attention from work. We can shop, book a holiday, play games, write to friends or read the news. Could you, indeed, be guilty of just such an activity as you read this article? If so, you have been caught engaging in cyberslacking!
we might go online with a specific purpose in mind but the potential choices and distractions are so many and varied that they cause us to lose track of what we were looking for
The activity of cyberslacking is endemic in any office where employees have unrestricted access to the Internet, and it has been a feature of working life for several years now. The term itself first entered the public eye in the late nineties, notably in a Newsweek article of November 1999, which highlighted research claiming that nearly a third of US workers' time on the Internet was devoted to non-work related activities. At the end of 2003, it was estimated that cyberslacking cost the US economy 250 billion dollars in lost wage expenses.
Corporate concern about cyberslacking is not always confined to time-wasting. Many large firms have had to accept legal liability when employees have searched for pornography or other inappropriate material on office computers. This has led to the formation of a whole new multi-million dollar industry known as Employee Internet Management (EIM), which encourages companies to invest in software for monitoring or restricting personal Internet use.
The term cyberslacking and an alternative form, cyberloafing, emerged during the late nineties among a proliferation of words created by productive use of the prefix cyber- to describe things relating to computers or the Internet, e.g. cybercafé, cyberspace. The verbs slack and loaf both mean 'to spend time avoiding work'. The term cyberslacker, acknowledged in August 2003 by editors of the Oxford English Dictionary, and its alternative form, cyberloafer, are used to describe employees who engage in the practice. Cyberslacking can also be used as a participle adjective, e.g. cyberslacking employees, and there is some evidence for use of cyberslack and cyberloaf as intransitive verbs.

Good luck everyone - I skipped this week and I can't wait to be a spectator. So many awesome illustrations in the forums already, hurray its Luau time, everybody limbo!
This is my take on a sunset over the Pacific. I used to have a whole bunch of OP (Ocean Pacific) shirts when I was growing up in the 80's. I really wanted to emulate those clean designs and really hip, vibrant colors. It's a lot different than what I've been submitting recently, but I'm very pleased with the final product. It makes me want to go to surf.
As far as the placement is concerned, as close to the collar and the right-arm seam as possible please.
Re: Beautiful Disaster
*giggles*! I love it!
Re: Wrath of the Monkey God
Dewd! I was at this Luau party last night and we're watching the fire dancers, then out comes this monkey just going nuts! And he stared at me dood! He was really mad about something and like just stared at ME for like forever! Then I woke up when my face hit the the punch bowl... man, I'm never doing Brain Erasers again.
Re: Welcome to Our Fire
This wasn't exactly the party that Bob expected when he followed the natives into the jungle.
Re: Aloha
Looks interesting but this is a no text week. You might want to pull it before it gets rejected.

Re: Let's All Go To The Luau!!!
Congrats - it was awesome to see this start from a sketch and end up here! Nice Work.
Re: A Tropic Sunset
A fairly common thing hopefully done in a unique way.
Inspired by the classic candy ad seen in movie theaters... replaced with a tropical locale and dancing fruit. The lead pineapple is holding a drink umbrella...
Re: He's Watching
I really like this Blu. Is there any way we can get a better look at what's going to be printed?

dancing fire? That fire looks like it is ready to engulf the whole island. Love it!
Re: Coconut Bank
Awesome, I had one of these when I was young and I could never figure out how to get the money back out. Great job using the crits from the forum to get this to be it's best. Good luck, GMV.
Re: Tiki Beast from 50 Fathoms
This is inspired by the art of one of my personal heroes, concept artist and illustrator Kevin Dart.
I feel sorry for the tikibeast. That lady doesn't look at all phased, and, well...you just know three scenes from now the poor squid is going to be in knots at the very least.
Shoot I just noticed your detail doesn't match your comp - re-post fast! Before you get votes.
gmv, btw! :-)

Thanks and sure!
3 colors on black, full 16"x20":
You always bring the awesome tg. Good luck tonight with your escher!
The lady doesn't look phased at all but the squid has a great expression. Shouldn't the lady have some sort of look? I love it but because she doesn't look phased it makes me wonder.
Love the reflections on the water! gmv!
I was at a loss as to what to do when I saw the theme this week. I decided to go with this relatively simple approach.
So here is the product of a long week and little sleep. Angry Tiki! (You'd be angry too, if your head was on fire!

She has the look of someone that doesn't like being groped and happens to be holding a speargun.
Love the style and especially the color choices. Nicely done.

Tiki Totem and Flowers. Thanks for your vote!
Be sure to check out the collaborative design from Toe2254 and me. We're going to try to have one more ready by tonight.
Here's the first one:
It was fun to work with another derby artist this week!
I love the 'toon-shaded' style... reminds me of Zelda: Wind Waker.

Re: Polly Want A Cracker?
Tried a different style this week. Enjoy!
Is there an example from past printing on how something this dark with very little contrast does on a shirt? I worried that if this prints it will look like a black shirt unless you are two feet from it.
Awesome, I had one of these when I was young and I could never figure out how to get the money back out. Great job using the crits from the forum to get this to be it's best. Good luck, GMV.
I reserved my comment for this thread instead of the derby thread.
I am SO excited about this design. Not only does it have KLS involvement, but it is pink and orange (my favorite colors) - oh, with red a close third - AND there are hibiscus in it.
I can only hope that everyone else loves it as much as I do!!
This is totally minor, but it makes me uncomfortable anyway. The reflections in the water would both travel the length of the water reflection and they tend to taper off at the end, not just stop abruptly. The length of the line is based on the brightness of the source, so the moon reflection would be longer than the fire reflection if anything.
I absolutely love the design, but that inaccuracy would probably keep me from buying it. (I know, I know, that's so sad! I can't help it. )
This kind of shows what I'm talking about with the brightness vs. length of reflection. More examples could be found by googling I'm sure.
Love it, the sun is terrific, so smiley up there in the corner. GMV.

mithun, seattle
Selecting a project of the year from the crop of already-chosen winners is often the toughest task of a design awards jury. Not this year, though. With little debate, the judges boosted Poulsbo Place in Poulsbo, Wash., from grand prize in the single-family production, detached, category to project of the year. Its smart land planning and charming cottages won them over handily. "It has a collective quality that's wonderful to see," said one judge.
Developer Security Properties wanted to create a community with an old-fashioned feel on this former military housing site. They'd pinpointed an underserved market: empty nesters and retirees who didn't want or couldn't afford to live in pricey Seattle, a half-hour ferryboat ride away. And they knew that, in order to keep prices down and to comply with the state of Washington's new growth management laws, they'd have to make the project fairly dense. So they turned to MITHUN, the venerable Seattle firm famous for its innovative treatments of high-density housing.
For the overall master plan of Poulsbo Place, the team at MITHUN--architects Bill Kreager, AIA, and Dick Bruskrud, land planner Bryon Ziegler, and landscape architect Margarett Harrison--designed a site plan that would allow nearly 14 detached units to the acre. Their secret? Efficient land use and innovative parking solutions. Phase One, for example, the only completely built phase, contains 45 cottages that are grouped around six pocket parks. The parks give each household direct access to common green space, eliminating the need for large yards. Some of the units face the parks; the residents of these courtyard homes park their cars in nearby three-to-six-car garages. The rest of the cottages face the street and contain an attached single-car garage.
Kreager acknowledges that designing an aesthetically appealing community at a density this high isn't easy. "There are a lot of things you can do that actually end up emphasizing the density," he says. "If you have too much variety in the elevation styles and colors, that can happen. Or, if you have too much uniformity, it starts to look almost like an attached product." He followed his own advice, designing two elevations and two floor plans for the cottage phase. The detailing on both elevations is simple, in a New England Cape Cod fashion rather than the more intricate Craftsman-style character that's prevalent in the area. "I like the restraint shown here," said one judge. "When you keep it simple like this, you can repeat the elevations again and again and it doesn't get old."
Thanks to MITHUN's careful planning, Poulsbo Place prices have remained within reach of its target market. The cottages sold for $149,000 to $180,000 per unit, and Kreager estimates that the same units would go for $300,000-plus in Seattle. Phases Two, Three, and Four will include larger courtyard homes, duplexes, and alley-loaded units for a total of 164 units.

HELP: Web Directory Not Showing Extensions...
It appears end user extensions won't display in the web directory when they don't have an associated device. This presents an issue for misc entries such as those that point to department hunt pilots, etc..
I suspect that it's related to having Web Dialer enabled (as it changes all extension entries to a hyperlink), so we disabled the service, however the behavior remains. I don't currently have access to another cluster I can test on.
Anyone with thoughts on this, or that can test on their cluster please share.

Whether you are a CEO, manager, salesperson or author, business cards come in handy. Often, they are necessary in networking and building brand recognition. At Tiny Prints, we want to work with you so that your business card customization goes a long way. For example, you may be thinking that customization means a simple color change or a font change. It can be that, to be sure, but we offer so much more, and the impact on your bottom line could be tremendous.
What is your business known for (or what do you want it to be known for)? Personalizing your business cards allows you to express the brand and disposition of your business in a compact and useful way. You can convey traits such as:
Business cards are fairly small, but their effect can be tremendous. Format is only one consideration, but it can be important. Choose from folded or flat cards; folded cards have room for more text and graphics, and other ideas may include:
A flat card can have text and images on only one side or both, whichever you prefer.
You know the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. This is particularly true on business cards. Placing a picture (or several) on your cards conveys the traits you want to showcase for your business brand and goes past text and clip art.
Tiny Prints lets you add as many as five photos, so there's a lot you can say. If your business is photography-related or art-related, this option is especially useful.
With us, it is easy to experiment with cards until you find something you like and that is effective. Options include:
You can order in quantities as small as 10, meaning that there is no need to expend a lot of money if you want to test the effectiveness of different cards at various networking events.
If you want to go the extra mile, consider our custom design service. If you need more ideas, check out our article on How to Make Business Cards. Work one-on-one with a designer, ask for revisions if necessary and get a physical copy of your business card to check for errors before placing a full order.
Business cards are one way for you to make a good (and accurate) first impression. Take advantage of customization to quickly communicate your business brand and hook customers.
"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"I use this card for a travel card...picturing my wife and I along with our first names (on the white portion of the front) and full contact info on the back. We've found these to be great for giving out toward the end of a tour/cruise to the people we've met and connected with."
"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."

President Putin created the political party named United Russia as a means of carrying out his plan to control Russia. But, suddenly a person has emerged to end this political party's dominance of the nation. The renegade refused to join United Russia. The renegade said United Russia's programs had nothing to do with the ideas of Vladmir Putin. The renegade denounced United Russia as a party of incompetents without any ideals or beliefs in Russia. The renegade is none other than the party's founder, Vladmir Putin! The Russian president during the past month has been attacking just about every group and person in his nation who supports his control of the country. The end result is that Putin, like most would-be dictators, lacks any loyal friends. Those in government serve him, not out of belief, but out of fear. They fear he will turn on them as he has turned on just about any person who dares challenge his authority and his dominance of the nation.
The Russian people sought in Vladmir Putin a savior, one who could end the chaotic conditions which always are part of a new born democracy. They got security, but at what price for the Russian soul and their desire to witness the emergence of a new democratic society.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
A reticulocyte count measures the percentage of reticulocytes (slightly immature red blood cells) in the blood.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The test is done to determine if red blood cells are being created in the bone marrow at an appropriate rate. The number of reticulocytes in the blood is a sign of how quickly they are being produced and released by the bone marrow.
The normal range depends on the level of hemoglobin, and the range is higher if there is low hemoglobin due to bleeding or red cell destruction.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal percentage of reticulocytes may indicate:
A lower than normal percentage of reticulocytes may indicate:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
The reticulocyte count may be increased during pregnancy.

2011 PIT Counts Media Map
March 1, 2011
Today's post comes to us from Alliance research associate Pete Witte.
Earlier this year I wrote here about the annual point-in-time (PIT) counts being conducted across the country, and explained why the PIT counts are so important for helping us to understand homelessness and measure progress we're making toward ending the problem.
Well, it's that time of year again when local media stories announcing the results of their January point-in-time (PIT) slowly begin to sprout up in daily clips.
The Alliance is collecting and mapping these media accounts or, when available, the Continuum of Care (CoC) reports in order to provide a sense of the changing homeless situation in communities across the country. These reports are the basis of our new and—considering federal budget conversations where homeless programs are at-risk of being cut—timely, interactive 2011 Counts Media Map, which tracks reports on changes in overall homelessness (increases are noted by a red-colored placemarker and decreases are in green).
Amid current economic and budgetary conversations, providing a sense about the change in homeless counts across the country is important and timely, especially considering how homeless, health care, employment, and other aid programs are increasingly at-risk of being cut.
Tracking the 2011 PIT counts also provides an opportunity to get a sense on how much progress is being made at ending homelessness at the federal level, since the 2011 PIT counts will be the first count where both HPRP and Opening Doors have had the opportunity to affect communities.
And what's more – we need your help!
Has a media source or CoC in your community released a report that shows overall homeless changes between the January 2011 count and the last January count? Please let us know; you canemail me directly and we'll be sure to add your community's results to our interactive map.
Thanks in advance for your help!
A note about what we're looking for: the Alliance mapped media reports back in 2009 – the last time that all CoC's were required by HUD to conduct a PIT count. In that map, we tracked a number of different factors in the counts. This time around, however, we're only interested in mapping overall population increases or decreases to present a visual picture of the state of homelessness in the country. For more information or clarity about our map, please email us.
