Rare, Tiny Ocean Find In West Australian Waters
A miniscule marine creature caught during a recent Indian Ocean research voyage is believed to be the first of its kind identified in the Southern Hemisphere.
The single celled organism, supporting what looks like 6 legs is a phaeodaria from the family coelodendridae, also known as a radiolarian. Measuring only 1.4 mm, the organism was found during an investigation of ocean eddies by the National Marine Facility, Southern Surveyor.
"It was a case of being in the right place at the right time with the right people," says PhD student Harriet Paterson, who discovered the radiolarian. Harriet works with the Strategic Research Fund for the Marine Environment (SRFME) a joint CSIRO-West Australian Government marine research team based at Floreat, Perth.
"Our objective was to collect samples of marine life in ocean eddies and this was a complete surprise to us, and I'm sure to other researchers in this field from Northern Hemisphere institutions," Ms Paterson said.
Ms Paterson detailed her research to colleagues during a science symposium in Perth yesterday (June 16).
The Director of SRFME, Dr John Keesing, said the discovery is an example of how state and federal agencies are coming together to tackle the problem of exploring and managing Australia's vast and valuable ocean resources.
"Australia's territory is 70 per cent ocean. We need more ocean scientists. We need to be able to provide hard scientific facts about our oceans that will allow legislators, regulators and industry to be able to address the challenge of managing our ocean resources.
"The West Australian Government, CSIRO Marine Research and the CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship have come together to provide a program to train and supervise new PhD students in the area of marine science. This discovery is a direct result of that program," said Dr Keesing.
The find has excited scientists researching the micro zooplankton world. The pheodaria was captured in a sediment trap deployed within an 'upwelling' eddy bringing cold and nutrient-rich deep ocean water to the surface by Dr Stephan Pesant a member of the University of Western Australia team lead by Dr Anya Waite, Centre for Water Research.
The micro zooplankton species is understood to live from depths of 100 to 5000 metres. Its food range extends from ocean algae to tiny shellfish. It consumes prey in the same manner as a spider, remineralising part of the 'ocean snow' and helping to sustain other small forms of marine life.
Ms Paterson has searched the scientific literature and believe this is the first sample to be found in the Southern Hemisphere.
The first sample was recorded during the world's first oceanographic voyage by the British ship Challenger in the 1870's, and then more than a century later, US scientist Dr Neil Swanberg collected 18 specimens down to a depth of 500 metres in one voyage from a submersible in 1986.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a victory lap around the Senate chambers after the vote in the Senate to legalize same-sex marriage.
Here's his statement:
New York has finally torn down the barrier that has prevented same-sex couples from exercising the freedom to marry and from receiving the fundamental protections that so many couples and families take for granted," Governor Cuomo said. "With the world watching, the Legislature, by a bipartisan vote, has said that all New Yorkers are equal under the law. With this vote, marriage equality will become a reality in our state, delivering long overdue fairness and legal security to thousands of New Yorkers."
"I commend Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Minority Leader John Sampson for their leadership and Senator Tom Duane for his lifetime commitment to fighting for equality for all New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo continued. "I also thank Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Assemblyman Danny O'Donnell for ushering this measure through their chamber."

The Preserve at Jordan Lake is filled with Love and Variety
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina native Davis Love III continues to show his fondness for the Tarheel State with the opening of The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club.
The PGA Tour veteran and former UNC-Chapel Hill golfer, whose Anderson Creek design near Fayetteville was voted the state's "Best New Course" in 2001 by N.C. Magazine, has added his second eye-catching architectural imprint on North Carolina's golfing landscape in Chatham County.
The Preserve at Jordan Lake, a par 72, 7,107-yard semi-private course, officially opened for play on August 2. Love is scheduled to be on site for a christening round on October 14, two weeks following his appearance in the 34th Ryder Cup at The Belfry.
The Love Enterprises-designed course, a collaboration of Davis, his brother Mark Love and Bob Spence, is part of Bluegreen Golf's 516-home planned development rapidly rising on the western shores of Jordan Lake.
The Preserve at Jordan Lake will play to a very challenging rating of 75.1 with a slope of 145 from the back tees (dubbed the Love tees). Its built-in difficulty from the tips will allow the course to accommodate professional events, but Patrick Barrett, the club's general manager and head golf professional, stresses that the layout's primary design feature is to accommodate handicaps of every level.
"I want the course to be a fun place for low handicappers to play, such as hosting scratch and amateur events," he said. "We could easily host a PGA Tour event - not that that's something we're pushing to do. But the course was built for all skill levels. I think that's a key feature to this golf course. We can accommodate the spectrum of handicaps."
The Preserve at Jordan Lake has five separately established tee boxes - Love, blue, white, gold and burgundy - on each hole that allow players the opportunity to select the appropriate challenge for their game.
"The different tees add a tremendous variety," said Barrett. "You can play a very scenic golf course without getting frustrated by it. The slope and ratings on the white tees (70.6/128) and gold tees (68.9/116) are right in the ballpark with most golf courses. There are some beautiful holes that look intimidating, but they are very playable if you choose the right set of tees to match your ability."
Golfers looking to play on a piece of property that is flat and a featureless pastureland need not make a tee time. The course features streams, hardwood forests, rock outcroppings and elevation changes that "make you feel like you're in the western part of the state," according to Barrett.
Even the name The Preserve at Jordan Lake connotes oneness with nature. The course will soon be designated as a certified Audubon Sanctuary for subscribing to principles of environmental stewardship and providing a safe refuge for wildlife.
"The thing about this course that will be the biggest surprise to first-time visitors is the topography and the changing elevation," said Dan Whalen, vice president of sales and marketing for the 600-acre development. "The middle of North Carolina is pretty flat for the most part, but there are some pretty dramatic changes from hole to hole with some outstanding views."
The highest point on the course, near the 18th tee box, is approximately 500 feet above sea level.
"There are so many oaks and hardwoods on the property, in the fall when the leaves change you will feel like you're playing in the mountains," Whalen added.
Barrett found it a difficult task to pinpoint a particular hole that can be considered the course's signature hole. "Too many to choose from," he said as he regularly sprinkled adjectives like "beautiful" and "awesome" into his hole descriptions.
No. 1, a 512-yard par 5 "sets the whole tone for the golf course," said Barrett. "It's challenging but it's very scenic. It has an elevated tee. You hit down over a stream into the landing area. You hit back up to a second elevated landing area. The green is a little more elevated for your third shot. It's not extremely long - less than 500 yards from the blues. It's very manageable. It's a very pretty hole."
Another head-turner on the front nine is No. 6, a par 3 that plays to 166 yards from the Love tees. The tee shot requires a carry over water to a green that is nestled behind a natural outcropping of rock formations on the left.
No. 15 on the back nine is a short, 368-yard par 4 that calls for an iron off the tee with a second shot over a creek that is lined with boulders.
The closing hole, a 435-yard par 4, may take the driver out of the hands of longer hitters, according to Barrett, because of heavy bunkering down the right side of the fairway.
The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club features L93 bent grass greens and 419 Bermuda fairways that are quickly maturing into playing shape.
Eighteen-hole rates for the public depend on where you are coming from. The "rack rate" is $55 for weekdays and $65 weekends. A "local rate" for golfers from surrounding counties within a 60-mile radius will be $10 less for both weekdays and weekends.
Where to Stay
If you're looking to stay in style, you can't go wrong with The Carolina Inn, a 184-room facility located in the heart of the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill. Originally built in 1924, The Carolina Inn is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Owned by the university and managed by Doubletree Hotels, the Inn underwent a $16.5 million renovation in 1996. You can make reservations by calling 1-800-962-8519. Additional information can be found www.carolinainn.com

This past weekend the Meadowlands Convention Center held their 6th Annual Beer Expo and we were there to drink it all. On location were 70 breweries, mostly craft beer, but also some of the big boys like Guinness and Heineken showed face. A handful of merchants were also on site selling everything from bottle openers to Brewscuits, a dog treat made from grains used in the brewing process.
Each of the participating breweries offered two or more of their brews served in the events standard 2 oz glasses. Stone Brewing had four beers to choose from, one of which was the Bourbon Barrel-Aged Arrogant Bastard that was beautifully rich flavor. Speakeasy Ales & Lagers showed some West Coast love with Baby Daddy & Tallulah on tap, as well as bottles and cans of Scarface and Pop Gun.
What's a Jersey-based beer expo without the Jersey boys keeping a watch on their territory! Well, 902 Brewing was there with their Black Dynomite Black IPA as well as their Heaven, Hell or Hoboken American IPA. NJ Beer Co was also in the house handing out some Weehawken Wee Heavy Scotch Ale and their LBIPA brew. There were a few concoctions we'd never seem like a craft spiked seltzer, basically a pre-made cocktail in a bottle, but hey, no ones judging. One of the best things we had at the show were the Firehouse Doughnuts out of West Chester, PA. The doughnuts paired well with some of the beer we drank, not to mention soaking up some of that alcohol to keep us on the right track.
All walks of life attended the event, from your average beer drinker to the hardcore craft beer enthusiasts. All-in-all, it was a great event to start the year off on the right foot, we've got a few more logged into our calendar. Looks like our liver's are going to have a busy year.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 11, 2013
An elite team from Leavitt Partners — one of the nation's most sought-after exchange consulting firms — will discuss the critical elements of exchange rules in "An Overview of Exchange Regulations and How They Will Operate," the opening session of Atlantic Information Services's upcoming April 24 virtual conference, Health Insurance Exchange Boot Camp. Designed with busy executives in mind, the virtual aspect of this conference allows for intensive training from the convenience of the participant's office or conference room with no travel required.
As more than 20 million Americans migrate to exchanges for their insurance coverage, health plans, third-party administrators, vendors and insurance brokers need to know how this new marketplace is going to work. Leavitt Partners' directors Daniel Schuyler, Cheryl Smith and Laura Summers, partner Brett Graham and analyst David Smith will offer a layman's explanation of federal guidance and regulations, and provide a clear picture of how state-run and federally facilitated exchanges are expected to operate. Among the questions they will answer are:
- Which regulatory provisions are likely to create the biggest challenges for health insurers, state exchanges, brokers and other stakeholders?
- What can be done to mitigate the impact of these provisions?
- Which rules remain to be finalized, and what should health plan and exchange executives do in the interim?
- How are federally facilitated exchanges expected to impact marketplaces?
"An Overview of Exchange Regulations and How They Will Operate," as will the three other sessions of the Health Insurance Exchange Boot Camp, will conclude with a generous question-and-answer period, allowing participants to get individualized advice from the presenters. The three other panels will discuss how to prepare for the inevitable problems that will emerge once exchanges begin operation this fall, how to market exchange products effectively and how to train a workforce. Plus, the registration fee includes a free On-Demand recording of each session, so any agenda items can be reviewed at a later time.

Who doesn't love a list? Today, our exclusive series returns with more Big D insider finds and favorites!
The petal pink door on Uptown's Mahon Street heralds an ambitious kind of charm and one of captivating mystery. But the alluring mother-daughter team behind Uptown's newest boutique, effortlessly effuses the shop's endearing name – The Loveliest.
Hailing from Abilene, Joni Wood and her daughters, Kelsey and Britni Wood, were a triple threat long before turning their passion for hospitality into a family business. Joni, a former children's clothing designer, gained brick-and-mortar experience as the founder of Mommy May I, while Kelsey and Britni pursued high-profile careers as creative leaders.
After successfully coordinating events across the country for two presidential campaigns, Kelsey (far right) went on to join the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where she remains active as a "Wish Granter." Britni (far left), also ambitiously driven, served as the style editor for Martha Stewart Weddings and became a co-founder of Anthropologie's BHLDN as a sought-after stylist in Los Angeles.
Now, their diverse talents have merged into a uniquely personalized approach to bespoke embroidery, customized gifting, and modern-day heirlooms. Within the confines of The Loveliest, antique textiles, fair trade goods, artisan-made décor, and an endless array of new and vintage monograms blend seamlessly with known brands such as Sferra, plus more. Just fresh off of their May 14 grand opening, the trio pays tribute to Dallas tastemakers by revealing their most beloved in local resources. Read on as we dish exclusively where The Loveliest will roam this season.
Foodie Favorite: Don't let the prim appearance fool you. Kelsey swears by a Deep Ellum hotspot for her foodie addiction. "Luscher's Red Hots is definitely Deep Ellum's new, best kept secret. The Post Oak is the most delicious hot dog in Dallas!" As for Britni, authentic French dining is more her style. "Le Bilboquet became a favorite haunt of mine when I lived in New York; their Cajun chicken is not to be missed."
Go-To Boutique: While Joni prefers the opulent appeal of Forty-Five Ten for "unexpected gifts and off-the-runway clothes," Kelsey quenches her thirst for incredible bargains at Hemline. "The Lovers Lane boutique satisfies my inner bargain shopper," she says. "It's super cute, affordable clothes, and it's almost always a hit — and rarely a miss for me."
Artistic Addiction: For miniature doses of design inspiration, and admiration of intricate floral aesthetics, Britni heads to Grange Hall — a noted DFW Style Daily Secret Local List favorite. Joni however, adores a location a little more close to home. "Blue Print is such a complete source for the home," she claims. "I'm delighted to count them amongst our new 'neighbors!'"
Best Buys: Unanimously and without question, the trio selects On Consignment (2717 Fairmount St.) as the best in local buys. "We all agree that the Fairmount boutique is the absolute best stop in the city to find great deals on décor."
I Heart Dallas: The gardens will have it as far as this family is concerned. When it comes to all things Dallas, the sisterly duo prefer the wonderful outdoors. "Well, 'I heart Dallas' a whole lot," beams Kelsey. "Much of that credit goes to the Thursday night concerts at The Arboretum. Get. Tickets. Now." As for Britni, serenity is key through frequent visits to The Nasher. "The quiet gardens and spectacular collections are truly one-of-a-kind."

Huge logjam frustrates river lover (Video)
By BY DIANNA WRAY - firstname.lastname@example.com
Jan. 29, 2013 at 10:05 p.m.
Updated Jan. 28, 2013 at 7:29 p.m.
Leonard Urban stood on the bank of the San Antonio River.
The smooth, green water used to slide along just feet below the edge of the bank, but now the water sits in pools, trapped by logs that clog the river as far as Urban can see in either direction.
The river has a logjam that extends for a couple of miles above Urban's place, to about seven miles past it, he said.
Urban started coming out to this stretch of the river to fish in 1995. He loved river fishing and - after years of leasing a tract - about 10 years ago, he persuaded a landowner to sell him about two acres on the edge of the river just across the way from the McFaddin place.
Now, the water sits in puddles far below him, and he hasn't been able to get out on the San Antonio River and fish from this point in months.
"I bought this place so I could settle here and go fishing all the time. That's all I wanted to do - have a place to take my son and grandson fishing" said Urban, a retired communications worker from Victoria.
Over the years, he has seen the river rise and fall, but in recent years, it has become crowded with logs as dead trees move down the river and get stuck.
The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority took over responsibility for this stretch of the river about a decade ago. The GBRA has used its manpower and tools to clear the logs from the river, but the authority has declined his requests to clear the logs in recent years, he said.
Jim Murphy, the executive manager of water resources and utility operations for the GBRA, said they have a legal obligation to keep the San Antonio River cleared, but they must have the funding or the manpower to do that.
"We are willing to clear it, and we were doing that when we had the money and we had the guys in the canal division that had time," Murphy said.
Logjams along the rivers have been a problem for years, but the drought that has gripped the state has made the problem even worse because more trees have died and fallen into the rivers, clogging them more. The water level of the San Antonio also makes it harder to move the trees, forcing them further down river, he said.
The GBRA had planned to clear the river of logs in recent months, but the drought has kept them from doing it, Murphy said, because they need a good water flow to do the work.
"Nature plays a big part in this. We wanted to get started, but there just isn't enough water right now," he said.
Urban has been hoping the GBRA would not only clear the logjam but would also dredge the river itself, clearing any debris that has built up over the years and is covered by silt along the river bottom.
Murphy said the proposal is difficult because, aside from the cost, any change to water flow, such as dredging, requires consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers. It could also trigger issues with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, he said, because dredging could change the habitat of the area and impact species.
Aside from his own concerns, Urban argued that clearing the river will allow more water to flow down to the Guadalupe River and, from there, to the bays and estuaries, allowing a better water supply for both the people and animals that rely on the Guadalupe for water.
Murphy said as long as the city of San Antonio remains upriver the water supply will be controlled by that city, whether the river is dredged.
"There's a lot to this issue. It's not a simple thing," Murphy said.
Still, Urban stands on the edge of the river bank, looking at the pools created by rotting logs and trash. He used to be able to put a boat in the river and navigate it to find the best spots for fishing. Now, he can't get a boat past this narrow stretch of embankment along the edge of his property.
"Nobody wants to take ownership and do anything for the little guy," Urban said.

Technology in the classroom can be a double-edged sword. It obviously has its merits, as the number of ways to use computers in schools has increased exponentially in just a few short years.
But it also can be distracting. More and more students have their own cell phones, and most of these devices can do so much more than just allow phone calls. Games, music and Internet access anytime, anywhere, can prove to be too tempting for students to ignore.

The oldest living University of Kentucky basketball letterman may live in Henry County.
Layton "Mickey" Rouse, a member of the Cats basketball squads from 1937-40, now lives Twin Oaks in New Castle.
Rouse is 94. Basil Hayden who was 103 when he died in 2003, was UK's first All American in1921.
Rouse wasn't any slouch either. He was captain of Adolph Rupp's 1939-40 Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament champions.
The city of Eminence will seek a Community Development Block Grant to complete much-needed upgrades to its system after a state funding request was not included in the state budget.
Monday night, the City Council voted to puruse the grant.
When the House Appropriations and Revenue committee met last week, one thing was certain: the city of Eminence would not receive funding for the sorely needed sewer project.
Several organizations are teaming up to aid the families and communites hit by tornadoes on March 2.
Henry County High School
HCHS is organizing a collection effort to assist the region's tornado victims. They ask for the following:
Work gloves, toiletries, towels, plastic storage bins, nonperishable snacks, bottled water, diapers, blankets, and anything else you feel will benefit the storm victims.
Items may be brought to Henry County High School until March 16.
I've been away from the high school basketball scene for a while, and I have to say that I discovered this year that you can never fully get the basketball bug out of your blood.
After coaching the sport for many years, I suffered a little from burnout and completely got away from the sport that I've loved since I was a little kid.
It all started a couple of weeks ago. On Sunday, Feb. 19, I took the garbage to the bottom of the drive for pick up the next morning as I have been doing for years. But this time was different.
After walking down our 50-yard driveway with the garbage can and then walking back up the steep gravel path, I was out of breath. I mean completely out of breath.
Since the 1960s, he has been a voice for rural America, and in 2011, President Barack Obama dubbed him "a voice for the land," when presenting Wendell Berry with the National Humanities Medal.
Berry, of Port Royal, has been honored again for his works, his advocacy and defense of the rural lifestyle and his commitment to the land, when, in February, the National Endowment for the Humanities selected him to give the 41st Jefferson Lecture in Humanities.
Zoning permits
Since graduating from Eminence High School in 1979, Robert Pettit has spent his entire career in law enforcement.
In a telephone interview Monday, Pettit, who now lives in North Carolina, said he recalls writing an essay in sixth grade, in which he told about wanting to be a Kentucky State Police trooper when he grew up. "I knew at a very young age that's what I wanted to do."
What seemed like an ordinary request to the Pleasureville City Commission for additional fire department funding left Pleasureville Mayor Rodney Young visibly frustrated.
Young had presented a request from the fire department to help pay for a fire truck repair bill of $17,000. "I wondered if the city could do any help," he said. "All the city has paid on (the truck) is some of the insurance and utilities. That's all the city's been out on the fire department for 20 years."

At an outdoor Mass in Calabria, Francis denounced the syndicate for what he called its "adoration of evil and contempt for the common good."
The pope said, "Those who go down the evil path, as the Mafiosi do, are not in communion with God. They are excommunicated."
Calabria is the power base of a global drug trafficking syndicate that also enriches itself through extortion of local businesses and infiltration of public works contracts.
Francis also visited with the imprisoned father of a 3-year-old boy who was killed in the region's drug war, and spoke to about 200 other inmates.
The pope had lunch with poor people and drug addicts in a rehabilitation facility and visited with residents at a hospice. While he was there he asked one of the doctors to remove a bothersome wooden splinter from his finger.

Greyhound has kicked off what it calls a Travel Stimulus Package for the holidays, including half-price bus fares for up to three companions with the purchase of a full-fare ticket.
I immediately checked on prices from Hartford to New York and, indeed, the first fare came up at $58.50 and the next three at $29.25. That's round-trip, non-refundable, bought at least three days in advance. (A few routes are excluded from this promotion.)
But, wait, there's more:
In addition to that Friends and Family Companion Fare, Greyhound is offering:
75 Percent Off Advance Purchase Fares: The company will sell 250 tickets a day at 75 percent off the adult walk-up fare, when purchased at least 10 days in advance.
Holiday Bounce-Back Coupons: For all tickets sold in terminals between Dec. 15 and Jan. 5, a coupon will automatically print that will offer customers a 20 percent discount for their next trip between Jan. 6 and March 31.
And, remember, online tickets are priced at a 20 percent discount from adult walk-up fares.
These discounts are also honored by Peter Pan Bus Lines, Greyhound's partner in the Northeast. Read more about it on greyhound.com, and remember, riding the bus does not necessarily suck.

Will Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech become the highest-rated convention TV moment ever? That's what TV observers are asking in advance of the Democratic National Convention.
The one to beat is Jimmy Carter's 1976 balloon drop, seen in 22 million homes. In recent years, the audience for political conventions has been shrinking. Time and Nielsen will tell.
Meanwhile, a roundup of media preparations:
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will be based outside Union Station. Olbermann, talking about the 20-hour-a-day marathon broadcasts planned by MSNBC, said, "Looking ahead to the conventions, we had finally hit on the formula that integrated MSNBC and NBC News. The guy we were going to lean on was Tim (Russert). I think we'd be best advised to take that time we were going to give to Tim and just be silent in his memory. . . . I don't know what we're going to do without him. I mean that in the philosophical way but also practically speaking."
"Morning Joe" will telecast live from Sam's No. 3 Grill & Bar; Matt Lauer will co-anchor "Today" from Denver on Thursday and Friday. Brian Williams leads the NBC/MSNBC team with Tom Brokaw lending expertise.
Gwen Ifill, host of PBS's "Washington Week" and contributor to "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," said the PBS coverage, slated for 6-9 p.m. locally during the DNC, aims to explain "why this is consequential." "NewsHour" is the first network office up and running at the Pepsi Center.
"We used to consider ourselves gavel-to-gavel; that doesn't make sense any more for lots of reasons. We're not CSPAN. They perform a public service, but we provide more than that."
Ifill has been mentioned as a "Meet the Press" host contender. Will we see folks vying to fill Russert's role during the convention? "If you look for it, you'll see it," she said.
While the commercial broadcast networks are down to one prime-time hour of convention coverage per night, PBS plans three. NPR likewise will produce three hours a night, anchored by Andrea Seabrook, host of the weekend edition of NPR's "All Things Considered." On the final night, Aug. 28, a one-hour call-in special hosted by Neal Conan of "Talk of the Nation" will give listeners a chance to express their views after Obama's acceptance speech.
Student broadcasters at KRCX, Regis University Radio, are the only credentialed college radio station in Colorado. Denver 8 TV, the city's Municipal Access Television channel, is running the fourth and final edition of "Denver 8.08," with hosts Beverly Weaver and Tamara Banks, through the month.
Local TV will make use of visiting network talent. KCNC-Channel 4 will feature CBS News anchor Katie Couric in an interview with Channel 4 anchor Karen Leigh; Harry Smith will be interviewed by Brooke Wagner.
KMGH-Channel 7 will debrief Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts and others from ABC News. Fox 31 likewise is trying to get all Fox News Channel personnel on the air.
KUSA-Channel 9 has put in requests for all the network personalities to drop by. KUSA is doing all the technical infrastucture for NBC while their tech folks are in Beijing. "We're elbow to elbow" in the Pepsi Center, said KUSA news director Patti Dennis. KUSA also is working with "Extra" and Metromix for celebrity news, with 15 people covering the party scene.
At 6:30 each night, Adam Schrager's "Your Show" will host major politicos; he's already hosted every presidential candidate. With 8 1/2 h0urs a day live on KUSA, this is bigger than the papal visit in 1993, pre-Internet and pre- KTVD-Channel 20.
"My biggest fear is somehow it is marred by something unpredicted," Dennis said. "We'll do our best to cover dissenting voices, but we hope any protests will be done in way we can be proud of. Everyone's a little nervous."

View Thread: Where do I look to find what I want?
NotSoTragicHero said:
A few places.
Check out the MSDN Library. Along with the API, it has a lot of good references and tutorials.
If you can't find what you need by doing a Google search, you can always just ask here, or on the MSDN or CodeProject forums:
Ok. I just went to the MSDN and looked up DataTable and it gave me this:
Dim workTable as DataTable = New DataTable("Customers")
And says the new DataTable is now called Customers. So what does that make workTable? Why can't I just say:
Dim Customers as DataTable.

Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) leader Ashworth Jack claims a group of men from Trinidad have arrived in Tobago and are using strong-arm tactics in an attempt "to intimidate people" in the final days leading up to the Tobago House of Assembly elections scheduled for next Monday.
But the THA's Chief Secretary, Orville London, who is also a People's National Movement (PNM) deputy political leader, told reporters on Wednesday the party's Tobago arm is not involved in any such activity.
Jack made his claim during a TOP political meeting in Speyside on Tuesday night.
Sitting at the table during Jack's speech was Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar—who had earlier delivered an address at a rally for Jack who claimed his party's supporters are now facing a serious political threat.
"And so, if you drive around Tobago you will see every Tobagonian who is PNM walking around tearing down (TOP) posters. And when they find enough of them couldn't tear down posters they bring up Trinidad persons from Laventille, from Diego Martin and they too tearing down posters," Jack said.
He further said: "I have been reliably informed that as of a couple of days ago there are 20 thugs driving around Tobago from a certain religious sect carried around by a guy I know, and they are attempting to intimidate people on every block."
London offered a brief response, saying, "I categorically deny any allegation that the PNM Tobago Council is involved in that activity. I know not of what he speaks."
During another new conference on Monday, however, London said the PNM Tobago Council was not trying to turn political battles into physical confrontations.
"Even if we are going to do what is necessary to ensure that we give ourselves the best chance of winning, there are things we will not do because we are Tobagonians first and PNM after," London said on Monday.
On Wednesday night,�Jack said �"a couple of nights ago" his party had to file a police report of an attempt to vandalise its headquarters in Scarborough which was thwarted due to increased security measures.
But Jack also addressed other issues and offered a radical shift in the public health care provided to foreign visitors if his party is victorious at the polls against the backdrop of a struggling tourism sector.
"Therefore,�the Tobago House of Assembly, under a TOP administration, will implement that visitors to the country who fall sick will show or present upon admission to the hospital their medical card, so we can charge to their insurance company for the medicine and the treatment they get in Tobago," Jack said.
And in a reference to London and past THA chief secretary Hochoy Charles, who is now a candidate in the present elections, Jack said, "If Tobago treasury was raped in 1996 to 2001 it has been gang raped between 2001 and 2013."
Referring to 2004 and 2005 Auditor General reports in the THA, London told reporters on Wednesday, "If the treasury was raped at anytime somebody was supposed to be facing the court or in jail. And it is in that context that I want to again put on record my concern about the way in which the Auditor General report is being treated."

Box Office Briefs: The Farrelly Bros. Take on Oscar
For the exception of maybe last year, when Alice in Wonderland made a pile of money, the most celebratory of weekends for the motion picture business, aka Oscar weekend, has never been a terribly lucrative period at the domestic box office.
And the trend isn't likely to reverse itself this weekend, when two R-rated movies make their way to multiplexes, Farrelly Bros. comedy Hall Pass and Nicolas Cage dark-fantasy 3D thriller Drive Angry.
No film is expected to surpass $20 million this weekend.
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis as middle-aged dudes who get a sanctioned one-week break from marriage from their wives, Hall Pass represents Warner Brothers' attempt to fill an entire 12-hour bachelor party with R-rated comedies (throw in recent Todd Phillips films The Hangover and Due Date, as well as the upcoming Hangover Part 2).
The problem for Warner is, the Farrelly Bros. aren't on a Todd Phillips-like roll at the box office, with their last three films -- Heartbreak Kid, Fever Pitch and Stuck on You -- each opening to less than $14 million domestically.
Summit Entertainment's Drive Angry isn't expected to light the world on fire, either, with the film starring Cage as an eternally damned revenge-seeker behind the wheel of a fast car.
There was some initial buzz for this $75 million film coming out of Comic-Con last summer, but that seems long gone, with studio officials praying the movie makes even $10 million at the domestic box office this weekend. (Summit's rear end is covered, having only paid a relative small sum for domestic rights.)
While Hall Pass is expected to lead the market, the No. 2 spot could once again belong to Disney's CG-animated Gnomeo & Juliet, which has quietly taken advantage of the fact that nobody's released a kiddie movie since Yogi Bear in mid-December. In fact, while the multiplexes have filled up with R-rated movies for the grown-ups, Disney has made bank by simply having the only G-rated choice in the marketplace (although the 8-year-old who sleeps in my house and eats my food says it's OK).
Here's how we think the box office will shape up:
Which one of these people is in the movie Justice League?

Marius, a Squib
Marius stood beside his
mother, watching the last of the green sparkles dance and fade away in the
fireplace. His auntie and sisters had just taken the floo to Diagon Alley.
"I wish I could have gone too," he said.
"Don't be silly! You
wouldn't like shopping with the girls."
"I'd like to see the
owls at Eeylops and the magic mice at Magical Menagerie. I'd like some ice
cream at Fortescue's. It's been a very long time since I went." In fact it
had been a very long time since he had gone anywhere. He had been left at home
the last time the family had gone to his Uncle Sirius and Aunt Hester's house.
He hadn't been invited to the Macnairs' with his sisters either. "I never
get to go anywhere any more," he whined.
"Nonsense, you went to
your Gran and Grandfather's over Christmas," his mother retorted. He
looked at her from the corner of his eyes. There was that certain tone in her
voice that grownups used when they were trying to convince a child of something
that wasn't entirely true. "Didn't you enjoy that?"
"Yes." He had
indeed enjoyed that. He was the only one of the four children who liked Phineas
Nigellus Black. Of course, it wasn't fun of course to be on the receiving end
of a rebuke or one of his grandfather's mean comments, but Marius managed to
bear up under those rare moments and mostly got along with him. They took walks
and played chess. Grandfather told good stories, if you would sit still and
listen. Gran made the best cookies in the world and she made them herself.
The visit had been fun, but
the reason for the visit had not. His older brother Pollux wanted to invite a
classmate from Hogwarts for the holiday, but he didn't want Marius around.
Marius didnt care. He didn't like Pollux anyway. "I don't want anyone to
know he's a Squib!" Pollux had said.
Pollux had been sent to his
room without dinner, but his mother had never
said, "Marius isn't a Squib." That had hurt. In the end, Marius had
gone to his grandparents and Pollux had had his friend to visit.
"Your Grandfather and
Gran are coming today," his mother said, as if it had just occurred to
her. "Maybe if you're good they'll take you for an outing!" She
looked at him with a very wide, artificial smile. Then she bolted from the
Marius had a terrible sinking
feeling in the pit of his stomach and for one moment he thought he would be
sick. He went outside to the front step to wait for his grandparents. He
considered the past few days and wondered if everyone was acting strangely or
if it was his imagination. Dinky had asked Marius to please stay out of the
bedroom so he could clean this morning, but Marius had watched him clean lots
of times. Auntie had given him a too tight hug when she said goodbye just now.
His mother had spent yesterday alternately snapping at him and hugging him. His
father had given him disapproving looks; some things didnt change.
There was the sudden jingle
of harness bells and Marius looked up. His grandfather's carriage pulled up in
front of the house. Marius ran down the steps and jerked the door open.
"Hello! Hello!"
Phineas Nigellus came out
first, and turned to offer a hand to Ursula. She rushed over to Marius and gave
him a tight embrace. "It's a big day today, isn't it?" she asked, but
she looked sad.
He shook Grandfather's hand.
The older man was studying him intently. Phineas looked at Ursula, "He
doesn't know! Cygnus is a coward and Violetta is an idiot! The child hasn't
been told."
Marius looked from one to the
other. "Mother said you might take me on an outing."
"Oh, yes. We will do
that!" Phineas agreed.
The front door opened and
Marius's mother hurried out, "Professor, Mrs. Black, come in. It's so good
of you
"Yes, it is good of
us!" Phineas snapped, while Ursula made calming noises. Violetta ushered
her parents-in-law into the sitting room, giving Marius a look that said he was
to blame for Phineas's ill humor.
Cygnus came out of his study
across the hall. "Run along, Marius."
Marius did move, if not at a
run. He heard his grandfather's taunt, "Cygnus, you represent everything
that is undesirable in Slytherin House and every thing that is wrong with the
Black family!" One of the adults must have worked a spell because the
sound became muffled.
Marius relaxed. Whatever was
happening today wasn't to do with him, but with his father. He went to the head
of the stairs to play, so that he would know when the fight was over. He didn't
want his grandparents to leave without him.
It wasn't very long before
the doors opened and Violetta came out. She started up the stairs and saw
Marius. "Come here. We need to talk to you," she said, and
immediately went back into the room.
Marius hurried down the
stairs. The fire had been lit and his grandmother was sitting in the chair
closest to it. His grandfather stood beside her, scowling. His parents stood
apart from each other on the other side of the room.
Ursula held out her arms and
Marius ran to her for another hug. At last Phineas cleared his throat, but it
was Cygnus who spoke
"Marius," he began,
looking not at his son, but at a spot in thin air. "You know that Pollux
lives away from home most of the year. We think that would be a good thing for
you too." Phineas made a noise that might have been a word, but Marius
didn't catch it. Cygnus continued, "You'll be visiting your cousins."
"Which ones?"
Marius asked, confused.
Phineas answered, "Your
Great-Aunt Isla's daughter. My niece Mary."
"The blood
traitors!" Marius gasped.
Phineas shot a withering look
at Cygnus, but his eyes were softer when he turned back to Marius. "My
sister and her family are very dear to me."
Cygnus offered, "Your
cousins are fine Mug...people, I'm sure."
Gran smiled, "Phineas
and I are taking you today, dear. We know them very well and they are so
pleased to have you."
Marius looked from one face
to another, trying to understand what was being said to him. When his eyes met
his father's, Cygnus looked away and spoke quickly, "It's best to get this
done quickly. Let's say our good-byes."
His mother began to sob. She
rushed over and grabbed him, kissing and crying all over him. Cygnus pried him
away from her, gave him a quick squeeze on the shoulder and a brisk slap on the
back. There was a confusing flurry of motion and Marius was sitting with his
grandparents in the carriage. He had caught the barest glimpse of trunks now
secured to the top.
The carriage began to move
forward but before it could Magick itself away, Marius yelled,
"Stop!" He bolted out of the coach and up the steps back into the
house. "Dinky! Come here, Dink!"
There was a loud pop and
the house-elf appeared. His nose was running, his eyes were red and his face
was wet with tears. "Dinky is here, young master."
Marius dropped to the floor
and hugged the elf. "Good bye Dinky. I'll miss you."
"Dinky will most
grievously miss you. Be good for your new family, young master," he
sobbed, then gasped in horror and glanced guiltily at the senior Blacks.
Neither of them was crying
now and both looked very angry. Marius understood. The elf had said what his
parents had not. "I will, Dink. Take care of yourself." Without
another word or look at his parents he ran back to the coach.
"All right,
Marius?" his grandfather asked.
"Yes, sir, thank you. I
needed to say a goodbye," he said, obeying Ursula's motion to sit between
them. She held his hand, but no one spoke for a long time.
"Do you understand what
is happening?" Phineas asked at last.
"I'm being sent away,
because I'm a Squib. Aren't I?"
His grandmother squeezed his
hand tighter, and said, "Yes, dear. You're going to live with a very nice
family. Phineas and I think you'll be happier there."
"It was your idea!"
"In a way it was,"
Phineas agreed unperturbed at Marius's glare. "My sister Isla married a
Muggle a long time ago," he began, reverting to his lecturing tone.
"Bob Hitchins is a fine, upstanding man.
Your grandmother and I visit them quite often." He paused to look at
Ursula, and Marius noticed the affection in his grandfather's eyes. "I was
hoping to invite their child to Hogwarts, but she was born without magic."
"A Squib?"
Phineas shrugged.
"Squib. Muggle. Who knows? Mary has grown up to be a fine young woman and
she has also married a Muggle."
"They are a very nice
couple," Ursula agreed, "but they haven't been able to have any
children. Marius, we saw how unhappy you've been lately and we've seen
"Cygnus and Violetta
haven't handled this at all well, Marius. You've nothing to be ashamed of. They
had some ideas
"But Mary and Hugh
wanted children so badly, and we asked them if they would be interested in
taking you in," Ursula interrupted.
"Like a stray dog?"
Phineas glared at him.
"Have a little appreciation, sir! You should be thanking us on bended
knee! Your parents wanted to hide you away. We're giving you a new life with a
new family. Think on that!"
There was a very long
silence. Ursula continued to hold Marius's hand and he was afraid to let go.
She sniffled from time to time. Phineas stared out the window.
"What if I don't like
them?" Marius asked in a small voice.
"That's of no consequence,"
Phineas said firmly.
"What if they don't like
me?" he asked in a smaller voice.
Phineas actually turned to
look down on him, "How could they not like you? You are my grandson."
Marius felt warm inside, but
he said, "So is Pollux.'
"Well, point taken, then
if you insist." They actually smiled at each other.
"I wanted to come to
Hogwarts and be able to have tea with you each week. I thought we'd be able to
play chess," Marius said, looking into Phineas's eyes. Phineas swallowed
hard, and patted Marius's knee.
"Please understand,
Marius," Ursula said. "Mary and Hugh want you to come to live with
them. They're hoping the three of you will be family."
"I'll be a Muggle."
Marius said softly. Then he took a deep breath, sat up straight and announced,
"If I can't be a wizard, I'd rather be a Muggle than a Squib. I'll be a
damn good Muggle, too!"
Neither grandparent reacted
to the swearing. Phineas was thinking Marius would have made a damn fine
Slytherin. "Muggle then, but still our grandson," he said.
"You can visit us and
we'll visit you," Ursula added. Marius noticed that no one was suggesting
any of the rest of the Blacks would visit.
The carriage unmagicked
itself and Marius leaned forward to look at his new home. Ursula began pointing
out things. "There's the shop. It's Hugh's. There's his name on the sign.
They live above it and look, you can play in the park at the end of the
"I won't have to stay on
the steps anymore," Marius said. He studied the storefront and read the
sign that hung over its door. He said the name silently, then whispered it to
see how it sounded. Just to be sure, he asked, "You're sure they want me?
And you'll always be Gran and Grandfather?"
"You have my word."
Phineas said, and Ursula nodded.
Marius looked at the sign
again. When he stepped out of the carriage he would no longer be Marius Black.
From now on, his name would be Marius Snape.
Thanks to Gufa, my beta

Meet Our Headhunters
If you had a nickel for every child who dreamed of becoming an executive recruiter one day, well, you probably wouldn't collect enough for a cup of Starbucks (SBUX) Pike Place Roast. Yet these professionals, familiarly known as "headhunters," generated $9.55 billion for their industry worldwide in 2010, according to an estimate by the Association of Executive Search Consultants, which has 300 member firms representing 6,000 executive recruitment professionals.
Mark Jaffe, owner of Minneoplis search firm Wyatt & Jaffe, started contributing advice to Bloomberg Businessweek.com readers via our Headhunter Hint feature when it made its debut in February 2010. His path to executive recruiting was accidental. "I grew up with a dad who was a CPA, so it was kind of a given I'd get an office job," he says. "I started out as a wholesale office-supply salesman and then as an auto parts salesman. I was good at these jobs, but I hated them."
After going to work for his father as an accountant, Jaffe got friendly with folks from at an executive search firm down the hall. Their war stories about offers and counteroffers intrigued him, so he gave recruiting a try. "I asked the recruiters, 'What part do I have to play when I'm doing this?' They told me, 'Just be yourself,'" Jaffe recalls. "That's the most durable and reliable advice I've ever heard."
When the Curtain Parted
Soon Jaffe scored his first big coup, finding a chief packaging technologist for Pillsbury. "I just happened to catch the right person at the right moment when Pillsbury was at the height of desperation," Jaffe says. "Pillsbury said, 'We don't care how much it costs—just do it.' I found a successful candidate at PepsiCo (PEP) in Purchase, N.Y." He persuaded the candidate and his wife, who also worked at the cola maker, to relocate to Minneapolis.
"The curtain parted and I saw all the machinery in the universe and how I could change things," Jaffe says. "Getting this couple to move from New York to the Midwest felt like changing the course of a river. It was the drug that got me addicted."
Jaffe started the boutique firm Wyatt & Jaffe in 1988 (partner James Wyatt retired in 2002). He began specializing in placing senior-level execs in technology companies after Polaroid retained him to find a tribologist, a specialist who studies and advises on wear and corrosion. The jobs he fills are often so esoteric that only half a dozen or so viable candidates exist in the world. "They'll be one person in Texas and another in Switzerland," he says. "It's the equivalent of being asked to find a left-handed Armenian brain surgeon." Recent placements include Tom White, worldwide director of operations and R&D for fiber optics at Avago Technologies, and Warren Cohn, senior vice-president and private client adviser at U.S. Trust.
Lured Away from French
Tara McKernan, who began contributing to Headhunter Hint this fall, started her career even further from the executive recruitment field than Jaffe did. After earning a master's degree in French literature at Boston College, she worked as a translator for the Maghreb Arab Press in Rabat, Morocco. Next she enrolled in a New York University doctoral program in French-Arabic political studies. Then a summer job she took at an executive search outfit intervened.
"I loved working with people and the feeling of making a difference in their lives," McKernan says. "I dropped out of the PhD program and never looked back." She went on to found the boutique agency Manhattan Search Group, which she sold in 2007. Today, McKernan serves as an executive vice-president for the search firm DHR International and is based in Stamford, Conn. She specializes in the fields of hospitality, consumer products, life sciences, and professional services. Among her recent successes were placing the new chief operating officer of Wal-Mart (WMT) India and the head of international sales for Cynosure (CYNO).
As far as the best job-related advice she's received, it comes from one of her current co-workers: "Surround yourself with people who have strengths that you don't possess."
Shooting 'Em in the Head
McKernan finds having to break bad news to candidates the most difficult part of the job. "You spend so much time pumping people up for interviews and telling them how to write up their CV and coaching them," McKernan says. "I'll present a slate of candidates to an employer, and I think all of them would be great." She delivers disappointing news gently and over the telephone, never by e-mail.
Jaffe takes something of a tough love approach. "I give direct and unvarnished feedback to candidates," he says. "I find the compassionate thing is to shoot them in the head—rather in the body and let them slowly bleed to death. They may feel a flash of pain at the beginning, but they get over it quickly."
Most of the positions Jaffe fills carry compensation packages worth "north of $500,000." McKernan's successful candidates get packages valued at $250,000 to $1 million and can include such perquisites as personal drivers and airfare to visit friends and family back home for executives who relocate internationally. Headhunters of McKernan's and Jaffe's stature routinely collect fees based on one-third of the successful candidate's first-year cash compensation.
Whether you're a child or adult, that's the stuff dreams are made of.

Heracles was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, foster son of Amphitryon and great-grandson (and half-brother) of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well. Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females were among his characteristic attributes. Heracles used his wits on several occasions when his strength did not suffice, such as when laboring for the king Augeas of Elis, wrestling the giant Antaeus, or tricking Atlas into taking the sky back onto his shoulders. Together with Hermes he was the patron and protector of gymnasia and palaestrae.His iconographic attributes are the lion skin and the club. These qualities did not prevent him from being regarded as a playful figure who used games to relax from his labors and played a great deal with children.By conquering dangerous archaic forces he is said to have "made the world safe for mankind" and to be its benefactor. Heracles was an extremely passionate and emotional individual, capable of doing both great deeds for his friends (such as wrestling with Thanatos on behalf of Prince Admetus, who had regaled Heracles with his hospitality, or restoring his friend Tyndareus to the throne of Sparta after he was overthrown) and being a terrible enemy who would wreak horrible vengeance on those who crossed him, as Augeas, Neleus and Laomedon all found out to their cost. .

(AP) -- Two of the space station's crew have stepped out on a spacewalk.
Russian astronauts Dmitry Kondratyev (kahn-DRAH-tee-ev) and Oleg Skripochka (SKREE-pohch-kah) floated outside Friday morning. Their job is to install a camera and an experimental radio system on the International Space Station, and retrieve a pair of old science experiments.
The four other space station residents are monitoring the event from inside. The crew includes three Russians, two Americans and one Italian. The commander is NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, brother-in-law of wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. She's married to Kelly's identical twin brother, Mark, who's also an astronaut.

A large police response Saturday outside the Hard Rock Cafe was for a man brandishing a handgun.
That man, 50, was arrested and has since been released from King County Jail. He's been charged with illegally carrying a weapon, but has not entered a plea, according to Seattle Municipal Court records. The man does not appear to have a Washington court history.
Police held the man at gunpoint on the ground in the 100 block of Pike Street. Police found the gun in his right front pocket and also briefly detained the man's wife.
The woman, who was intoxicated, said her husband didn't point the gun at anyone or un-holster it. Officers collected information from a victim and at least one witness and determined the gun was loaded, according to an incident report.

Lever action rifles have played a crucial role in American history because they tend to allow for quick follow-up shots, have decent accuracy, and, in general, they're a whole lot of fun to shoot. Consequently, many favor the action for hunting, especially during deer season. However, the rifles we immediately think of when we think lever-action – like Marlin and Winchester — while nice, brand new ones tend to be expensive. So how does a budget lever action rifle like the Rossi Rio Grande fare in this category?
The Rossi Rio Grande
Rossi, a family owned business from Brazil, has been manufacturing firearms for more than 100 years. Currently Rossi guns are imported by BrazTech, which include Rossi's line of handguns produced by Taurus, and have been available in the U.S. for a number of years.
The Rossi Rio Grande is a lever action rifle that is available in 45-70, .30-30 and .410, comes in blued or stainless. All models come with a 20 inch barrel and a recoil pad.
The new Rossi's are designed with a safety that keeps the hammer from hitting the firing pin if the trigger is pulled. In other words, with the safety on the hammer will still drop when the trigger is pulled, but it won't go bang. This is very similar to Marlin's cross bolt safety. Some people like this type of safety, while others hate it.
Speaking of Marlin, the Rio Grande is awfully similar to the Marlin 336 (some might even go so far and say it's a clone). While I didn't compare the internals, its function and externally appearance were nearly identical. The most important part of the design is that it ejects from the side instead of the top. This of course makes the mounting of optics a lot easier.
The Review Gun
The rifle Rossi sent for review is chambered in .30-30. The fit and finish is good but not great. There are a few marks left on the receiver that was not polished out and the bluing was scratched around a screw head. The matte finish on the stock is nice and the overall quality of the blued finish is good. The rifle is light—about 6.5 pounds. It holds 6 rounds plus one in the chamber. In my opinion the fit and finish is in line for the price point of the rifle. The street price is around $400.
I had a few issues when loading the Rio Grande like when I pushed the round all the way in, the loading gate would hit the case rim when I tried to load another round. This didn't jam the rifle up, but it took a lot of pressure to get the gate to slide past the round in the magazine. I'm not sure if the shell stop was not holding the round back or if the gate was slightly over sized. Either way it was a pain. The solution was simple: I didn't push the rounds all the way in and used the next one to clear the gate.
The action on the Rossi was pretty stiff for the first 20 or so rounds out of the box, but it did get better. Some rounds were hard to extract and it didn't seem to be specific to a particular brand of ammunition. Otherwise, I had no failures to feed or extract.
Overall the rifle functioned as it was designed to, but was a little stiffer than I prefer. Of course it could all be smoothed out with some gunsmith work.
The trigger is really nice—it's the best thing about the rifle actually. It breaks cleanly at 4 pounds with no detectable creep.
I tested the Rio Grande with a variety of ammunition. I fired 5 round groups from 25, 50 and 100 yards with Winchester Super X in 150 and 170 grain, Remington 170 grain Core-Lokt, Hornady LEVERevolution 160 grain and Monarch 170 grain.
When I tested this rifle at the range I wanted to take my shots like I was hunting – I didn't use a bench and didn't go prone. All of the shots were fired from either standing or kneeling positions, but I did use a shooting stick for the 100-yard shots, which is something that I sometimes carry in the woods during a hunt.
Even though the rifle came with a Weaver style scope mount pre-installed, I didn't mount a scope. Instead I chose to use the open sights. The reason is I typically use a .30-30 lever gun for hunting in wooded areas where a shot over 100 yards would be rare, so I prefer to use iron sights in these conditions to avoid any extra weight.
Honestly, all of the ammo tested preformed about the same at 25 and 50 yards. The groups were all less than 2 inches from those distances and were about 3 inches high and 4 inches to the left of point of aim. I adjusted the sights and was able to walk the groups into the center of the target. When I lowered the rear sight I had to remove the scope mount in order to see the bottom of the sight, which took about 3 minutes and a screwdriver.
It was at 100 yards that the ammo really started to make a difference. I will say that all shot at minute-of-deer.
The Hornady had the tightest groups at 3.5 inches. While the Winchester and Remington was about 4 inches and the Monarch opened up to 5 inches. However, it was fairly windy at the range, with gusts around 15 mph, but I'm confident that from a bench the groups would all tighten up.
Lever-action rifles are some of the most iconic firearms in history and even though it's not made in the U.S. (though, it is made in the Americas), Rossi pays homage to that tradition with the Rio Grande.
For the price, the Rossi Rio Grande is a nice rifle and would make a good deer gun. Although the Rossi Rio Grande's action was a little rough out of the box and there was the loading gate issue, overall it shot well and functioned reliably. And there shouldn't be any problem putting a buck with it at 100 yards or so with the open sights. MSRP ranges from $499 to $600 depending on caliber and features.

Clarets Win Convincingly
Turf Moor
26th August 2008 @7;45pm
Attendance: 5528
The Clarets progressed to the third round of the Carling Cup with ease last night, inflicting a 3-0 defeat on League One leaders, Oldham Athletic. This was the first defeat this season for the Latics but the Clarets can now look forward to the third round draw on Saturday lunchtime. A draw which will no longer involve seeding and one that will see the big guns from the Premier League in the hat. Let`s hope we get a juicy tie against a top club and one that will see TV interest. More money for the club and every little helps!
Owen Coyle decided to start with the same eleven as the team against Palace, which meant Alexander again playing just in front of the back four in a 4:1:4:1 formation with Paterson alone up front.
Jensen, Duff, Carlisle, Caldwell, Kalvenes, Alexander, Elliott, McCann, K McDonald, Eagles, Paterson
Subs: Penny, Gudjonsson, Akinbiyi, Mahon, Blake, Jordan, Anderson
Oldham gaffer, John Sheridan perhaps surprisingly opted for youth and made a number of changes. As expected he handed out a debut to former Gretna keeper and Scottish U21 International, Greg Fleming in place of veteran Mark Crossley who was named on the bench. Lee Hughes, hat-trick hero against Chelteham in Oldham`s last match was also dropped but named on the bench.
All credit to the Oldham fans, they brought a following of about 1500 fans to Turf Moor contributing to the good atmosphere for this local derby. Referee, Andy Penn from Birmingham got the match underway.
The Clarets were first out of the blocks and after just three minutes Elliott found Paterson with a through ball but his shot hit the side netting.
After 8 minutes McCann shot just over the bar but the midfielder was about to score his first goal of the season four minutes later
Chris Eagles found Wade Elliott with a diagonal pass and his perfect cross was headed past the keeper by Chris McCann to give the Clarets a well deserved one goal lead.
The Clarets nearly doubled that lead two minutes later. Fleming saved well from Kalvenes but McDonald skied his shot high into the Oldham crowd.
Oldham to their credit never gave up running and they came close on 18 minutes but O`Grady`s shot was put just wide after he beat Carlisle on the edge of the area.
McCann after 37 minutes then also shot wide with the keeper advancing after playing a nice one-two with Paterson.
The Latics probably had their best spell in the last ten minutes of the first half but our defence held solid and the Clarets went in 1-0 up at half-time.
No changes were made for the start of the second half and for a time Oldham looked the most likely to score. Time for Coyle to change things round, so on 58 minutes, Gudjonsson replaced McDonald and Blake came on for Duff. The formation was therefore changed too with Alexander slotting in at right back with Blake playing just behind Paterson in 4:4:1:1.
The tactical change worked and five minutes later we were 2-0 up after a delightful run by Eagles. Beating two defenders and running into the box he let rip only to see Fleming save. The ball however rebounded to Paterson who made no mistake.
Oldham again showed their resolve and determination to continue the fight and after 69 minutes Jensen came to the rescue with a great save from Lewis Alessandra. He had just come on from the bench but was denied scoring a goal with his first touch.
It was game over though with 79 minutes on the clock. Paterson got his brace after picking up a long ball, running into the danger zone and coolly slotting the ball into the net with his left foot underneath the diving Fleming.
There was just time for Alan Mahon to come on and play a few minutes after replacing the excellent McCann who was influential all through the match.
A good performance then from the Clarets which should buoy spirits as we return to the League schedule with a home match against Plymouth on Saturday.
Burnley: Jensen, Alexander, Duff (Blake 58), Caldwell, Carlisle, Kalvenes, Elliott, McDonald (Gudjonsson 57), McCann (Mahon 80), Eagles, Paterson.
Subs Not Used: Penny, Akinbiyi, Jordan, Anderson.
Booked: Elliott.
Goals: McCann 12, Paterson 63, 79.
Oldham: Fleming, Eardley, Stam, Hazell, Lomax, Taylor, Allott, Maher (Lee 67), Whitaker, O'Grady (Hughes 67), Smalley (Alessandra 68).
Subs Not Used: Crossley, Kalala, Stephens, Liddell.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this site. I'm a Virgo, and to be honest I never believed in astrology. But I've read so many things here both about myself and partners I have had that I'm now officially a believer! I never thought I'd see the day when I added an astrology site to my favorites, but.. I just did :)
Ironically it was the lady i'm dating who turned me on to astrology. She keeps talking about things as if she already knows me. I'm starting to see why now!
Anyway, I'll continue to follow the comments with interest. I notice a lot of other forum pages have people asking questions and wanting answers by men/women of a specific sign, so if anyone wants any answers from Virgo men.. I'll do my best to answer!

Equipment matters. If you can get more of it as a standard offering, without added cost, you have a good deal in the purchase of a new automobile. But if you have to pay for each and every piece, either as an equipment "package" or as an individual item, you have an expensive car.
In that light, German manufacturers Audi and BMW make expensive cars — BMW more so than Audi. Consider, for example, the subject of this week's column, the 2014 Audi Allroad Quattro Premium Plus wagon.
In the language of superlatives, "premium" is supposed to signal top of class, which is the case for the Allroad Quattro. It is probably the best small wagon available in terms of overall quality and performance. It certainly has one of the best automobile interiors available at any price. And, although a tad pricey, it seems a good deal at a base price of $40,700.
But "premium," in Audi's marketing parlance, doesn't give you everything you might want, or think you should receive in a car costing nearly $41,000, although it does offer a lot. There's an improved 2-liter in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine (220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, a substantial step up over previous models); a panoramic glass roof with power sunshade; leather seating surfaces; and heated, power-adjustable exterior mirrors.
But if you want more — say, heated front seats to take some of the chill out of brutal winter mornings, or an onboard navigation system with rearview camera — you'll have to buy Audi's Premium Plus and MMI (Multi-Media Interface) with Navigation packages. Now, after spending another $7,150, enough to almost push the Allroad Quattro out of the entry-level luxury segment (roughly $40,000 to $50,000 base), you have the Allroad Quattro you thought you were getting for $40,700. Oh, and don't forget to add $895 to cover shipment from manufacturer to dealer.
Now you have an "entry-level luxury" car costing $48,745.
Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? Or are we so smitten with the notion of "prestige" that we are willing to pay exorbitant sums to get it? Speaking of which, if prestige is really what you want, Audi has you covered on that angle, too. The Prestige edition of the Allroad Quattro wagon starts at $49,200 — same engine, same wonderful all-wheel-drive system, basically the same interior, but more stuff, including a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system with 14 speakers and 505 watts of power.
I am suggesting here that automobile manufacturers, Audi and BMW in particular, might want to rethink their marketing practices when it comes to options. The value of "prestige" has been eroded by tangible technological advancement. Those advances have allowed more vehicle manufacturers, including those who were never a part of the prestige circle, to bundle more desirable equipment into their cars as standard equipment at a relatively low cost. For example, I can get all of the extras offered in the 2014 Allroad Quattro/Premium Plus in a 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan for about $40,000. That's a $7,000 difference in my favor in a car that has a high federal safety rating and runs just as well as the Allroad Quattro — enough of a cost difference to erase any hurt feelings I might have over lost prestige.
None of this is to put down Audi, BMW or any of the excellent vehicles they make. It is to suggest that they embrace a new reality. Technological progress, and the ability to use the benefits of that progress to offer more for less, is rendering obsolete the practice of offering consumers a base "prestigious" vehicle at a high entry price that becomes truly desirable only after it is freighted with expensive optional equipment that rivals are selling as standard.
