What's in the Box
Refurbished MacBook Air

802.11ac Wi-Fi. The definition of fast.
MacBook Air supports ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station — including AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule — wireless performance is up to 3x faster than with the previous generation of Wi-Fi or MacBook Air with 802.11n Wi-Fi 2. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, you're totally connected.
Backlit keyboard. What you see is what you type.
As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full‑size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat on an overnight flight, you'll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.
Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.
With a Thunderbolt 2 port that's twice as fast as the previous generation, you can connect your MacBook Air to the latest devices and displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. But that's not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultra-portable notebook to a complete workstation.
Fast all-flash storage. Ready. Set. Done.
Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it's designed entirely around flash storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data. This PCIe-based flash storage is up to 17x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive3. So when you flip open MacBook Air, it's ready to go straightaway. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.
Up to 12 hours of battery life.
Thanks to compact all-flash storage in MacBook Air, there's plenty of room for a big battery. Working together with the power-efficient fifth-generation Intel Core architecture, this battery can post some impressive numbers. The 13-inch model gets up to 12 hours. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days4. And if you enable Power Nap, you'll continue to receive new email and calendar invitations while your computer is asleep.
Fifth-generation Intel Core processors.
MacBook Air is powered by fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processor. This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. Which means not only can you do whatever you want — you can keep doing it for longer than before. In addition, the Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor offers advanced performance you'll particularly notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.
Includes Photos, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, iBooks, Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Messages, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Time Machine, Photo Booth, iTunes, Game Center, Preview, Notes, Mac App Store and more.

Ford's newest: Joey Logano (L) and teammate Brad Keselowski (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
So pre-season testing is over, a couple days at Daytona last week, a day at Charlotte, and the kickoff Daytona Shootout is only 28 days away.
Testing is over?
Well, not so fast.
The 'official' testing may be over, but teams expect -- and apparently need -- more testing, especially on the mid-size tracks, before heading to Las Vegas for the new season's first major test on one of those key tracks in the March 10th 400. Drivers will face 12 events this season on 1-1/2-mile tracks. For many drivers this Charlotte test was the first significant run on one of the 1-1/2-miles.
Ford's Greg Biffle says the Charlotte test Friday was really his first run with the new model "in the configuration we're actually going to race it in."
Partly that may be because there apparently has been a significant shortage of 'real' car parts.
That the entire 2013 program is still evolving is not necessarily a good sign. In fact, the sanctioning body, though it says it's got the package all figured out, will probably have to make some tweaks during the early season. And who opens with an edge, well, that might not be the key indicator of who's going to have what as the season goes on.
But then all this uncertainty might be a good sign too....because it could lead to some Sunday drama on the track...something sorely lacking the last two seasons.
Jeff Burton makes it clear what the real bottom line is here: "Is it an exciting day at the track, whether you are watching it on TV or watching it at the track? Without that, the sport is in trouble."
So when the Charlotte Media Tour opens Monday, two things to consider: expect to hear a lot of 'positive' PR push about the upcoming season...and take a close look at just what the NASCAR 'media' itself includes this year. The changing shape of NASCAR media over the past few years has been one of this sport's major stories, if not well covered at all.
Toyota's Martin Truex Jr. -- a lot of questions still, so more testing likely (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
The Daytona test proved one thing - which Dodge's chief NASCAR engineer Howard Comstock had warned about -- that the bumpers on the new 2013 stockers don't match up...and that that could create some serious issues.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. learned that point when he triggered a big crash at Daytona by tangling with Marcos Ambrose. Earnhardt drives a Chevy, Ambrose a Ford.
"I had Junior pushing me," Ambrose said. "I got caught on the edge of the bumper, and with the shaped noses and the tires, spun me out.
"It was hardly even a bump. It was just enough at the wrong angle, wrong time.
"We used to get greedy with the old cars; it was very easy to bump-draft. You had a good, square surface to push from. You could get across on an angle and still get away with it.
"I guess we are used to that.
"I got a couple shots from him down the backstretch, and we carried some steam. The third shot spun me out. I definitely think it's a consequence of the new shape."
Earnhardt said he and Ambrose were trying to set up a passing run.
"I thought Marcos was backing up to me, like he was laying off the leader a little bit and looking to get a run on the back straight," Earnhardt said.
"I was trying to push him and had a hard time getting our bumpers lining up. That's the first time I pushed it forward, and his car sat up on top of that roll bar....and we ended up getting turned.
"You definitely have to be more careful pushing people. The cars are really tail-happy, and real loose because of the downforce they have on the back of the cars. A little bit more of a handful, especially in the draft toward the back of the draft, where the air is real dirty."
A lot of pressure this season on Richard Childress' teams to start winning again. But will Kevin Harvick (R) be distracted? And what about teammate Jeff Burton (L)? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
At Charlotte Motor Speedway a last minute test was scheduled, though Thursday's snow cut the session very short. What came out of that? Well, some speed numbers: Ambrose' teammate Aric Almirola fastest at 194.021 mph, just ahead of teammate Carl Edwards at 193.673.
But speed isn't the issue, of course. It's handling, and it's tires. Drivers are pushing Goodyear for softer tires.
Meanwhile down in South America, Robby Gordon is winding up the Dakar Rally. He (and navigator Kellon Walch) won Stage 13, in Chile; that's Gordon's second stage win of this two-week Dakar and his ninth top-three.
What Gordon might have planned for Daytona and NASCAR this season is still not clear.

And in other NASCAR news, the National Motorsports Press Association will induct three men into its Hall of Fame this weekend, veteran TV sportscaster Ken Squier, legendary NASCAR exec Jim Hunter, and Pocono Raceway's Dr. Joseph Mattioli. Hunter died in 2010; Mattioli, last year.
Among the key early season stories to watch is the Richard Childress operation. "I think that by anybody's measurements we didn't have a good year through the company last year," Jeff Burton concedes. "We went almost the whole year without winning a race."
Will this 2013 project help put Childress men back on firmer footing? And how much of a distraction will be the push to develop Childress' grand kids? Plus, how will the Kevin Harvick story play out? Harvick is expected to leave at the end of the season and move to the Tony Stewart camp.
"I think it is easier to start over than it is taking an existing vehicle and starting over," Burton insists. " It gives us a chance to stop and say 'Okay, what is the best way to develop a car?' And through that, build a program that works for that. I think the timing of that is good. Whether that will yield results or not, we will see."
The 2013 Goodyears? A big question for drivers, who want softer tires, and Goodyear, which wants to avoid right-front blowouts (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
The 2013s have been in development for nearly two years, but the pace of testing has been painfully slow, in part because of some major rules changes.
And Toyota's Martin Truex Jr. says "There are a lot of questions to be answered: What is this car like? What is it going to feel like? What kind of balance is it going to take to make speed? What kind of shift will take place in the balance as the fuel burns off?
"The suspension package and some of the rules that we have this year, especially in the rear suspension, are a lot different...the aerodynamic package, the aero balance of the car, everything is completely different.
"It's going to take some time to figure out those things."
Aric Almirola: fastest at Charlotte in the latest 2013 test. He's a fast driver, for sure, but that hit at Kansas was a hard one. (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
NASCAR has cut some weight off the cars, which Truex says "is definitely a step in the right direction."
Truex calls that "a positive, from the tire perspective."
"One of the things we've struggled with at tracks like Charlotte, where the tire doesn't wear out super-fast, is keeping the heat out of the tires.
"The drivers all want a tire that wears out, so the car will start to slide around, so it gets hard to drive and puts on a better show...and is a lot more fun to race.
"Hopefully, that (cutting weight) will help them just be able to build a tire that we can have more fun and put on better races with."
Actually the tire issue could be a major one early in the season, because Goodyear needs lead time in building the 3,000 or more tires NASCAR racing demands each weekend. With the rules still in some question, Goodyear will likely open the season on a conservative note, rather than risk blowouts.
Another thing to keep an eye on is how well the new Chevrolet runs early. The early line seems to be that the smart money is on the Rick Hendrick teams.
"GM waited a long time to release their car and unveil it, so I don't know if they had something figured out and didn't want people seeing it until late in the game and couldn't change it or are continuing to work on it and develop it," Ford's Biffle says. "But to be the last one to unveil a car and wait that late and be ahead of everybody, they obviously have something figured out."
Another thing that will be carefully watched as the season opens is the Penske-Roush camp, with Penske -- and champion Brad Keselowski -- now in Fords, with engines out of the Jack Roush-Doug Yates shop.
Biffle says he doesn't anticipate any major change in how the two teams work: "Probably for the engine shop will get another opportunity to have more engines on the track and collect more data.
"I think it will be similar to maybe Stewart-Haas and the Ganassi group: They're both GM, but they're competing against each other.
"So I don't see a tremendous amount of stuff crossing back and forth (between Penske and Roush)...but maybe some trends of things we're working on, or we've found.
"But I don't think we're going to be sharing full notes or anything like that."
Yes, it was cold Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and just how much crew chiefs can translate from the chilly test is debateable. But Scott Speed was certainly suited for the weather. (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
A couple of things.
Boy, it was cold at Charlotte on Friday. I have to wonder how much of that data would really be usuable? But it did allow the boys and girls driving time in the new car. Hendrick and Gibbs looked good in the cold. SHR was a mixed bag. Tommy Baldwin looked good too. RCR uh *cough*. Roush was a mixed bag.
I saw Tommy Baldwin running the 7ny. So Robby is probably gone from NASCAR. But Robby is running an exciting Dakar. It was a shame the transmission busted on that dune at the beginning of Stage One that put him so far behind. Also, I am thinking of heading down to the Georgia Dome for Robby's Stadium Super Truck series in July. From what I've read, Robby is taking every idea tossed about in all the leagues Robby has raced in and creating an "new" league. Maybe one of his really great fans could talk about this more.
That's not Scott Sharp, that's Scott Speed. Awesome hat!

What does this one look like to you?
Let's not forget that Miley was calling out her dad on Twitter as recently as earlier this summer. And that nothing happens in a bubble, especially online. And that Noah Cyrus, age 13 and two thirds has been purportedly wanting a showbiz career for a long time, though it's never really come together for her.
Knowing all of that, then, do you know why Lainey sent me an email that said "I'm worried about Noah Cyrus?"
You are too, a little bit, right? Miley's a pro, already, at 20. Billy Ray is a career celebrity. They will always smile when there is a camera pointed at them, will always acknowledge that in the circle of life that is the entertainment media, they are both the seekers and the sought – they need pictures taken of them, and this is the environment where they should be.
But Noah – Noah at 13 is not like Miley at 13, is she? Those are not "show clothes". She is not dolled up for a night out. In fact, she looks like she was coerced into coming at the last minute, right? Like maybe otherwise she would have stayed in her room, opting out of the Teen Choice brouhaha altogether. It doesn't seem much like the same girl who was looking for stardom not too long ago, does it?
Maybe it was just an off night, she was getting over the flu, and they promised the TCA they could have the "reconciled" family shot. That's got to be all it is, right?
(Lainey – Liam Hemsworth was there last night too. They were not together on the red carpet. They were not seated together in the audience.)

7 Random Factoids
But do not fear, dear food pornists! Last weekend I baked a naughty scrumptiousness from South America - and I will try to post about the deliciousness this weekend. It involves dulce de leche. Uh huh. Yeah. I KNOW. Like the centerfold of foods, that stuff.
Anyway, the tag merely requires that I share 7 random facts about myself, so here goes:
1} If I find a bug in my house, I make my husband set it free outside.
2} I have recurring nightmares of falling into water, car crashes, and hanging in high places by my hands.
3} I love the smell of my dogs' ears when they're just a little bit stinky.
4} I feel uncomfortable when people bow to me and say "namaste".
5} When I was little, I would sneak out of Sunday sermon to the church lobby so I could read the Readers Digest instead, which made more sense to me than the sermon.
6} I don't particularly like blue ink.
7} I think my left brain hates my right brain and vice versa. Which sucks for me; obviously, I'm in the middle - a veritable midbrain glob of goo.
So, there you have it; why on earth did I choose those 7 facts? What a pile of bleck. Whatever "bleck" is, that is. Per usual, I won't tag anyone outright - but if you like, consider your very bad self tagged and join the randomness.
And you? What is YOUR random factoid, DARE I ask?

I hate blue ink. Love black ones. Love your raunchy writing too. Mine raunchy writing is not so subtle and tactful.
Maybe it's time to continue with my blog again.
Great blog, Ann. I feel like gaining weight just from reading - all those kilos I lost walking the girls are piling back on.

Haha love that centerfold of food comment. Dulce probably is a supermodel, because people either love/hate it. There is no in between.
Very interesting stuff... especially the dogs ears. I'll keep an eye out for 'dog stink' at yankee candle for ya :)

I love the feel of a wet (dog) kiss on my cheek. Probably because I *never* get any. Trace Jeanell only gives them out to strangers and people she likes.
Please don't tell Trace that dogs can blog! I'll never shut her up! She has always thought that I hold her back both artistically and financially. ;)

dulce de leche as the centerfold of foods = brilliant.
meanwhile, i used to spare the lives of bugs i found, but now i just take my aggression out on them. i won't lie--it gets ugly. and also, reader's digest rules (although i only ever read the jokes). :)
- November 13, 2008 at 12:48 PM
i dislike blue ink too! i don't think we go together. black ink is just way too much cooler for me. awww, you're just like my mum. gotta send the insects free outside. :) thanks for joining the tagging love..xx
- November 13, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Like most of your fans, I can't wait for the dog blogging either! What will they say, I wonder??!! I kill spiders and other insects in my house, because if I let them go outside, they might just come in again and they cannot live with me. Uh-uh. (I make it quick and painless, though, so they never know what hit them).
- November 13, 2008 at 6:02 PM
I actually yell at the bug before I kill it. Something along the lines of, "If you would just STAY OUT of my HOUSE, I wouldn't have to KILL you."
Yeah, I live alone. Does it show?

On Thursday, CNN's Erin Burnett continued the establishment's propaganda onslaught against the "leaker" Edward Snowden. After fatuously mischaracterizing Snowden as a "hacker," Brown introduced former General Wesley Clark and Peter Brookes of the Heritage Foundation, the lobbying outfit that takes money from the neocon Scaife Foundations run by the CIA operative and Operation Mockingbird asset Richard Mellon Scaife.
Clark, a notorious war criminal who used cluster bombs and depleted uranium on civilians during his rein as the Supreme Commander of NATO forces, said the American people love the idea of the government illegally and unconstitutionally spying on them. Clark told Burnett the "American people are solidly behind the prism program and all that's going on," never mind numerous polls indicating the American people are steadfastly opposed to the government's surveillance programs.
Brookes underscored the establishment's claim that Snowden is a spy guilty of espionage despite the fact he is not accused of working for a foreign government. "He's a 30-year-old spy. He's been charged with espionage," Brookes insisted.
Clark and Brookes are part of the establishment media echo chamber declaring Edward Snowden is a traitor for revealing the unconstitutional behavior of government and its Stasi state apparatus. From The New Yorker to MSNBC and Politico and beyond, the corporate media is focusing on Snowden — his idiosyncrasies, his girlfriend, even the fact he did not finish high school — while ignoring the serial criminality of the NSA, the Obama administration and Congress.
"Only because of Snowden do we know that our government is storing records of our phone data that can be mined for God only knows how long," writes Kirsten Powers for The Daily Beast.
In fact, we have known for a long time about the government — more specifically, the national security state — spying on the American people, commencing soon after its inception in 1947 and mushrooming under quaintly named programs such as Project SHAMROCK and sister program Project MINARET. Enough evidence was revealed by the Senate's Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities back in 1976 to implicate the government in this sort of elicit behavior, but thanks to the establishment media and the public miseducation system millions of Americans are blissfully unaware of the crimes of the national security state.
As a side note, the above linked Senate report is flagged as a "badware" website by Google. "Many kinds of badware aren't visible or obvious, and they can install silently as soon as you visit an infected page. Google's detection systems are VERY accurate. We suggest you don't visit the site again until the owner resolves the problem!"
In other words, Google thinks it is very accurate at steering folks away from the truth, in this instance documentary evidence that the government has long spied on the American people.
Google, as a trusted appendage of the national security state, has a vested interest in diverting the unsuspecting away from the truth the same as CNN, the consistently featherbrained Erin Burnett and government apologists Wesley Clark and Peter Brookes.

Patel's actions prove he wasn't a competent surgeon: Crown
FORMER Bundaberg surgeon Jayant Patel acted below the level of a competent doctor when he operated on an elderly man who died three weeks later, a court has heard.
Patel removed part of Mervyn John Morris's sigmoid colon in 2003 after Mr Morris fronted Bundaberg Base Hospital with rectal bleeding.
Mr Morris died on June 14, 2003, three weeks after the operation.
Dr Rodney Woods, a colorectal surgery expert, reviewed Mr Morris's case and believes the operation to remove part of Mr Morris's colon never should have occurred.
Crown prosecutor Peter Davis SC asked Dr Woods, who gave evidence during Patel's manslaughter trial on Wednesday, whether the surgery was associated with Mr Morris's death.
"I think if he hadn't have had the surgery then I don't believe he would have developed what happened following the surgery," he said.
Asked to elaborate on what developed after the surgery meant, Dr Woods said: "The various complications and subsequent death."
Asked whether the decision to operate was in line with what a competent surgeon would recommend, Dr Wood replied: "no".
Dr Wood said it was difficult to answer how far below the competency level Patel's actions were but confirmed it was certainly below competence.
The Crown alleges Patel misdiagnosed Mr Morris with diverticular disease instead of identifying Mr Morris as suffering from radiation proctitis, inflammation of the rectum resulting from cancer treatment Mr Morris underwent years earlier.
Patel is also accused of not administering Mr Morris proper post-operative care.
Dr Woods said it would have been appropriate for Mr Morris to be administered parenteral feeding after his operation.
During Mr Morris's post-operative care, Patel fed his patient through a nasal gastric tube method.
Patel is on trial in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on a manslaughter charge.

Pope's Vacation Reflects Purpose of Rest
Bishop of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, says having the Pope so close during the summer months 'is a great joy.' He says the Pope puts an emphasis on the value of time off, which should be for recreation for the heart, the spirit and the mind.
Bishop Marcello Semeraro of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, said that with the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI for his summer vacation, the happiest time of the year begins for the diocese.
In a July 15 interview with CNA, Bishop Semeraro reflected that having the Pope so close during the summer months "is a great joy."
"The people of Castel Gandolfo feel it is like having someone from the family visit who fills us with affection," he said. "Obviously, for us, this time when he is physically present makes our prayers that much more intense."
Bishop Semeraro said that this summer the Pope will devote the month of July to working on the third volume of his discourse on the life of Jesus and that in August he will be visited by his brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger. In September, "he will devote some of his time to holding public audiences again."
The bishop said that to be able to pray the Angelus together with the Pope each Sunday before hundreds of local faithful is a chance to draw closer to the universal Church and to the Lord.
"The Angelus prayer is the mystery of the Incarnation, and, ultimately, it reminds us of what is unique about the Christian religion: that there is no people that has a God as close as our God," he said.
"Therefore, in this prayer, like Mary, we renew our adherence to the faith and our amen in faith to God."
Bishop Semeraro observed, "During those Sundays, the Pope puts an emphasis on the value of rest and how to spend our vacation days, which should be a time for recreation for the heart, the spirit and the mind."
Vacation should be a time to strengthen the relationships in our family and between friends that perhaps have been neglected throughout the year, as well as an opportunity to spend time outdoors, the bishop added.
"Above all, we should set aside time for a deeper encounter with God in prayer and meditation."

We have been running our router for about 5 years; up until about 4 years it was problem free then we started having tool change problems where the NC would stall in the middle of a tool change. It mysteriously went away as mysteriously as it showed up, and it is back with a vengeance. I have been working with Thermwood on cleaning tools, sensor replacements and adjustments with little success. Most recently my operator pushed the "green" tool release button during one of the stalls in desperation to do something, and the air cylinder kicked on and the draw bar closed and the program proceeded. This was obviously a surprise because I thought the "green" tool release button was inactive unless the tool lockout was on.
I would appreciate hearing from any one having similar problems and solutions they have implemented. My core business is based on time to cut a sheet and this problem has significantly impacted that time and cut into what little margin we have.
Please help.
I did not find the right solution from the internet.

I'm new to shotgunning and was wondering if anyone could list several of the different types of slug and the differences between them.

There are three basic types of slugs in common use. The most common is the Foster-style slug. Available from all the major ammo-makers, the Foster slug resembles an inverted lead shot glass. It requires no "spin" to stabilize. It flys point-on for the same reason a badminton "birdie" does...most all the weight is at the nose.
The "sabot" slugs are smaller in diameter than the Foster style (usually around .50). They are usually "wasp-waisted" and are enclosed in two halves of a bore-sized plastic sleeve (the sabot). The sabot falls away after the slug exits the bore. Spin can be imparted to the sabot-style slugs by using a rifled barrel. This generally increases the accuracy with which the sabot slugs can be delivered. However, a rifled shotgun barrel will not pattern well with shot.
The last common type is the Rottweil/Brenneke slug. It is a solid lead projectile with a thick felt wad screwed to its base. It functions like the Foster slug, with the attached wad performing the same function that the thin skirt walls of the Foster slug...that is, ensuring that most of the projectile weight is forward, so it'll fly nose-first. The Brennekes, like the Foster, are best suited to smoothbores.

Rosco - then what are 'rifled' slugs? And, are all these different slugs just variations on the same theme, or do we have (I assume) different types of slugs for different applications?

The typical Foster-style slugs sometimes have striations impressed into their skirts, angled to make it look as if they are to impart some spin. They do not, but I think the term "rifled slug" comes from this practice.
All of the slugs have the same function; that is to permit a single projectile to be fired from the shotgun, thus turning it into a sort of substitute rifle. As I stated earlier, rifled shotgun barrels ususally work best with a sabot-type slug.
This begs the question of why would anyone fool with slugs instead of just selecting an appropriate rifle. Some states do not permit rifles to be used for deer hunting. Typically, such states have fairly dense populations and the lesser maximum range of a slug is thought to be safer. So, one reason to use slugs might be because the law requires it. A bird hunter, hunting in an area with problem bears, might want to have a few slugs readily accessible. In defensive or police use, the shotgun is usually loaded with buckshot. A shotgun thus loaded provides a great deal of power to its user, within its effective range, and allows, at optimal patterning ranges, targets to be addressed very rapidly, due to the spreading pattern permitting a bit less precision in aiming. The defensive shotgunner should also have some slugs readily available so that he can engage target which pose a threat and which are beyond the effective range of buckshot (20-25 yards...sometimes less). In a carefully zeroed shotgun, the slug can also be selected for engaging a threat with has innocent or uninvolved parties in close proximity (such as a "hostage" situation).
Slugs can also be used to breach doors by blowing off the hinges and/or lock mechanisms at near contact distances. This is an improvisation, however, and is best conducted with specialty, frangible, "breaching" rounds to minimize danger to persons inside.

The foster type slugs have a rifeling pattern on the outside of the slug which upon entering the air stream (theoritically) cause the slug to spin up thereby increasing it stability. The fins on the 120mm tank rounds have a cant angle cut on them for the same reason and it works real good in that application. The sabot slugs work best with some spin imparted via a rifled "choke tube" or a rifled barrel.

As Vinny and I have pointed out, the sabot slugs can benefit from stabilizing spin imparted by a rifled barrel or a rifled choke tube. Shotguns thus equipped are pretty much "sabot-slug-only" affairs. They won't pattern shot (bird or buck) well at all. The rifled shotguns are substitute rifles for "slug only" hunting. They have little utility as a defensive shotgun. Clearly, they CAN be pressed into service defending oneself, as can a .22 short ISU target pistol, but they are less than optimal for that use.
The defensive shotgun will be a smoothbore. It will handle buckshot (its primary load) and slugs with aplomb. Its smoothbore barrel may have some degree of choke, to better keep the buckshot together. This will not typically hinder decent slug accuracy.

We're about to conduct a performance evaluation on a French designed saboted slug called the Balle Fleche Sauvestre Sledgehammer. It was designed by Jean-Claude Sauvestre, the French engineer who designed the U.S. Army's M1 Abrams fin stabilized depleted uranium saboted anti-tank projectile.
The Sledgehammer shotgun slug is fin stabilized. It is touted as being as accurate when fired out of a smoothbore barrel as a rifled barrel. The slug itself is approximately .45 caliber, and weighs about 400 grains. The shotshell box indicates a velocity of 1640 fps (barrel length unknown). These specifications are similar to a .45-70 Government cartridge.
I was given 45 rounds of this ammunition by the importer for law enforcement performance evaluation. I recently destroyed two of my skyscreens attempting to measure its velocity from my 18" Vang Comp barrel equipped 870. My fear was realized when one of the sabot sleeves damaged the sensor assemblies on the skyscreens. I suppose I'll have to protect the skyscreens with plywood armor.

Dolphins: Related Cases
|Case name
|Balelo v. Baldridge
|724 F.2d 753 (1983)
Defendants, secretary and government agencies, appealed the decision fo the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, in favor of plaintiff captains invalidating an agency regulation pertaining to the taking and related acts incidental to commercial fishing.
|Brower v. Daley
|93 F. Supp. 2d 1071 (2000)
Based on the Secretary of Commerce's decision to weaken the dolphin-safe standard, David Brower, Earth Island Institute, The Humane Society of the United States, and other individuals and organizations challenged the finding as arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and contrary to law. The District Court for the Northern District of California found that the Secretary's Initial Finding was not in accordance with the law and was an abuse of discretion because the Secretary failed to properly consider these studies.
|Brower v. Evans
|257 F.3d 1058 (2001)
The district court held that the Secretary's Initial Finding, triggering a change in the dolphin-safe label standard, was not in accordance with the law and constituted an abuse of discretion because the Secretary failed to (1) obtain and consider preliminary data from the congressionally mandated stress studies and (2) apply the proper legal standard to the available scientific information. We affirm.
|Cetacean Cmty. v. President of the United States
|249 F. Supp. 2d 1206 (D.C. Hawaii, 2003)
|Plaintiff, a community of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, sued Defendants, the President of the United States and the United States Secretary of Defense, alleging violations of the (NEPA), the (APA), the (ESA), and the (MMPA). The Plaintffs were concerned with the United States Navy's development and use of a low frequency active sonar (LFAS) system. The community alleged a failure to comply with statutory requirements with respect to LFAS use during threat and warfare conditions.
|Citizens to End Animal Suffering and Exploitation v. The New England Aquarium
|836 F. Supp. 45 (1993)
The primary issue addressed by the court was whether a dolphin, named Kama, had standing under the MMPA. The court found the MMPA does not authorize suits brought by animals; it only authorizes suits brought by persons. The court would not impute to Congress or the President the intention to provide standing to a marine mammal without a clear statement in the statute.
|Committee for Humane Legislation v. Richardson
|414 F. Supp. 297 (1976)
At issue in this case are the statutory limitations on the authority of the Secretary of Commerce to adopt regulations, pursuant to the MMPA, that provide for the issuance of permits for the "taking" of dolphins incidental to commercial fishing activities.
|Defenders of Wildlife v. Dalton
|97 F. Supp. 2d 1197 (2000)
Plaintiff sought a preliminary injunction to prevent defendant government official from lifting the embargo against tuna from Mexico's vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Plaintiffs alleged irreparable injury if three stocks of dolphins became extinct. The court found plaintiffs failed to produce evidence showing irreparable injury.
|Defenders of Wildlife v. Hogarth
|177 F. Supp. 2d 1336 (2001)
Environmental groups challenge implementations of the International Dolphin Conservation Program Act ("IDCPA") which amended the MMPA and revised the criteria for banning tuna imports.
|Earth Island Inst. v. Evans
|256 F. Supp. 2d 1064 (N.D. Cal. 2003)
|Plaintiff, groups seeking to protect animals, sought to enjoin implementation of a final finding of defendant, the Secretary of Commerce and his Assistant Administrator of Fisheries, that the encirclement of dolphins with purse seine nets was not having an adverse impact on dolphin stocks as arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion. The court granted the groups' motion for preliminary injunction, enjoined the Secretary from taking any action to allow any tuna product to be labeled as "dolphin safe" that was harvested using purse seine nets, pending final disposition of the groups' action, and defined what "dolphin safe" would continue to mean.
|Earth Island Institute v. Brown
|865 F. Supp. 1364 (1994)
Plaintiffs sought to prevent the Secretary of Commerce from allowing the American Tunaboat Association ("ATA") to continue killing northeastern offshore spotted dolphins that had been listed as depleted. Defendants argued that such killings were permissible under the ATA's permit, and that the MMPA provisions relied on by the plaintiffs were irrelevant to the dispute. The court concluded that Congress did not intend to allow the continued taking of dolphin species or stock, once the Secretary had determined that their population level was depleted.
|Earth Island Institute v. Evans
|2004 WL 1774221 (N.D. Cal. 2004) (No reporter citation)
The Secretary of Commerce made a final finding that the intentional deployment on or encirclement of dolphins using purse seine nets did not have a significant adverse effect on any depleted dolphin stock in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Several organizations challenged that finding under the Administrative Procedures Act, and the matter came before this Court along with simultaneous motions for summary judgment from both the plaintiff and defendant. The Court concluded that Plaintiff's met their burden of demonstrating that they are entitled to judgment, and the finding of the Secretary is set aside.
|Earth Island Institute v. Hogarth
|484 F.3d 1123 (9th Cir. 2007)
This case concerns the practice of catching yellowfin tuna by encircling dolphins with purse-seine nets. The dispute centers over whether tuna sellers may label tuna as dolphin-safe if caught with such nets. An environmental group brought suit against the Secretary of Commerce after he concluded that there was insufficient evidence to show that tuna purse seine fishing harmed depleted dolphin stocks in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP). The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision that the action by the Secretary was arbitrary and capricious where the agency's decision-making process was influenced to some degree by foreign policy considerations rather than science alone. Further, the finding of no significant impact (FONSI) was not rationally connected to the best available scientific evidence.
|Fallo Kattan Alberto c/ Estado Nacional. Año 1982
|Before the Argentina National Constitution of 1994, the attorney Alberto Kattan and Juan Schroder brought an action of amparo (protection of rights) against the national government to prevent the hunting of 14 Commerson's dolphins that had been authorized by the national government. The question was whether these people had a cause of action as they had not suffered any direct or personal harm. The court declared the action of amparo valid leaving the administrative authorizations that allowed the hunting of Commerson's dolphins without effect.
|Federation of Japan Salmon Fisheries Cooperative Association v. Baldridge
|679 F. Supp. 37 (1987)
Petitioners, Japanese fishing federation, fisherman's association, and environmental group, filed motions for a preliminary injunction against respondent Secretary of Commerce who entered a final decision that approved the federation for an incidental take permit under the MMPA and adopted regulations that authorized the taking of Dall's porpoise within the fishery conservation zone.
|In the Matter of: Akiko Kawahara, Respondent
The principle issue in this case is whether the planned stopover of a few hours in Kennedy Airport in New York constitutes an "importation" within the meaning of the MMPA. The respondent in this case was employed by a business dealing in the international trade of animals and was attempting to bring four dolphins captured off the coast of Argentina back to Japan. The respondent only landed the dolphins in New York as a stopover on their way to Tokyo, but the court found that there was no requirement of knowledge or specific intent under the MMPA to constitute civil violations.
|In the Matter of: Darcy Lynn Shawyer
This case is a civil penalty proceeding under the MMPA for the unlawful importation of eight bottlenose porpoises into the United States. In this case, the court found that specific intent is not required for importation under the MMPA. The court found that the route taken over the United States, the requirement to land for customs clearance purposes, or weather conditions was known or should have been foreseeable to all parties.
|In the Matter of: Richard O'Barry
In 1999, civil penalties in the amount of $59,500 were assessed for the release of two dolphins from captivity. The dolphins were not prepared to survive in the wild and sustained life-threatening injuries as a result of their release. An administrative law judge found that the release of two dolphins without providing them with the necessary skills for survival resulted in harassment and injury to them, and therefore, constituted a violation of the MMPA.
|In the Matter of: Thomas E. Rainelli
This case involves violations of the MMPA by taking, in the form of harassment by feeding or attempting to feed wild dolphins. The respondents, a captain of a vessel used in a dolphin-feeding encounter, and the sole shareholder of a boat renal company, were both found guilty and assessed civil penalties in the amount of $4500. Though the shareholder was not on the vessel when it committed the feeding violations, he was found guilty of violating the MMPA, by providing a platform from which feeding is conducted or supported.
|In the Matters of: Kyle C. Mueller, et al
The question in this case was whether respondents, members of a marine mammal conservation group, violated the MMPA by interfering with the authorized capture of six dolphins. As result of this case, which was a civil penalty proceeding, only one of the respondents was found guilty of taking under the MMPA. The court found that the respondent's actions, although taken with noble intentions, endangered the lives of the dolphins, was improper, and dangerous. He was assessed a fine in the amount of $2,000.
|Kokechik Fishermen's Association v. Secretary of Commerce
|839 F.2d 795 (1988)
The Secretary of Commerce issued a regulation authorizing appellant salmon federation to take a fixed number of porpoise in connection to commercial fishing for salmon. Appellee commercial fishermen opposed the permit. The federation sought review of a judgment which preliminarily enjoined the Secretary from issuing the permit.
|Marine Mammal Conservancy, Inc. v. Department of Agr.
|134 F.3d 409 (D.C. Cir. 1998)
A nonprofit organization petitioned for review of the order of administrative law judge (ALJ) which denied organization's motion to intervene in administrative proceedings under Animal Welfare Act. The Court of Appeals held that the organization's failure to appeal administrative denial to judicial officer precluded judicial review of ALJ's actions.
|Marine Wonderland & Animal Welfare Park, Ltd., v. Kreps
|610 F.2d 947 (1979)
The facts of this case deal with an Canadian amusement park that had dolphins in its possession en route to Canada when it was forced to land in the United States. In this case, the court found that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA"), which is the agency charged with the administration of the MMPA, must be accorded first opportunity to interpret the meaning of "importation." The NOAA, as fact-finder and record-builder, is best suited to determine legal and factual determinations.
|Progressive Animal Welfare Society v. Department of Navy
|725 F. Supp. 475 (1989)
The Progressive Animal Welfare Shelter ("PAWS") and fourteen other environmental and animal rights groups brought this action for a preliminary injunction against the Navy's plan to "deploy" Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at the Bangor submarine base.
|State v. LeVasseur
|613 P.2d 1328 (1980)
The trial court convicted defendant of first degree theft after he freed dolphins from a university laboratory. The court affirmed the conviction on appeal. It reasoned that the choice of evils defense was unavailable to defendant because the definition of "another" under Hawaii statute clearly did not include dolphins.
|Strong v. United States
|5 F.3d 905 (1993)
The appeal in this case does not contest the denial of a permit to conduct dolphin feedings cruises. The position of the plaintiffs-appellees is that the Secretary of Commerce has no authority to consider feeding to be a form of harassment or to regulate it. The court disagreed with the plaintiffs-appellees and found it clearly reasonable to restrict or prohibit the feeding of dolphins as a potential hazard to them.
|U.S. v. Hayashi
|22 F.3d 859 (1993)
Appellant challenged the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, which convicted him of taking a marine mammal in violation of the MMPA. The court reversed appellant's conviction for taking a marine mammal under the MMPA. It held that the MMPA and the regulations implementing the act did not make it a crime to take reasonable steps to deter porpoises from eating fish or bait off a fisherman's line.
|United States v. Mitchell
|553 F.2d 996 (1977)
This appeal turns on whether the Marine Mammal Protection Act ("MMPA"), and related regulations, apply to an American citizen taking dolphins within the territorial waters of a foreign sovereign state. The defendant-appellant, Jerry Mitchell, is an American citizen convicted of violating the Act by capturing 21 dolphins within the three-mile limit of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The court held that the criminal prohibitions of the MMPA do not reach conduct in the territorial waters of a foreign sovereignty and reversed the conviction.

Wednesday soybeans set back on "profit taking" and fresh rains forecasted for Argentina; wheat and corn were slightly higher. March corn settled ¾ cent higher, January soybeans 9 ¾ cents lower, and March wheat 1 cent higher.
The US Dollar was sharply lower and was probably the main driving factor behind today's support in corn and wheat. Today was the 9th day in a row corn settled higher and coming into today beans were on an 8 day rally as well. It wouldn't be surprising to see more "profit taking" over the next couple of days.
Not much has changed this week besides a better and wetter forecast for Argentina. Argentine weather is expected to be hot and dry but rains coming next week should provide relief. Weekly exports are out tomorrow morning. They are expected to be between 450-650 for wheat, 750-1050 for corn, and 900-1300 for soybeans. It will be important to see if demand is still slow for beans going into the end of the year. It was interesting to see beans fall so abruptly ahead of Thursday's export sales report. Many times we see strong markets on Wednesdays as traders gear up for strong exports. Even with a very weak dollar the market broke beans 10 cents today. This could be a sign of liquidation or expected weak exports.

As we approach the end of 2010, I want to note that many commodities have made all time highs this year and the bullish bias is holding right to the end of the year. This coincides with the loose monetary policy of the US as well as an ever expanding global population and diet change. China has obviously been the main subject as their growing demand has undoubtedly helped fuel our price rallies, most notably their increase in US soybean demand.
So which events had the most impact in 2010? For one I would have to say the Russian wheat drought really kick-started this rally. This summer the market watched the Russian heat escalate into a true weather concern until wheat's rally forced corn and beans to follow. It wasn't until the USDA's October report which showed a disappointing corn yield that the markets really took off. This summer's hot nights and wet weather were the main factors behind the lower than expected corn yields.
Strong grain prices can also be attributed to increased demand from investors. Funds held all-time record long positions in corn, wheat, and soybeans in 2010. We also traded at all-time record open interest and volume late this year. A lot of this has to do with the sharp increase in ETF money coming into AG markets. This allowed many of the smaller traders to buy corn ETF's who wouldn't normally be market participants.
So where do we go in 2011? Fundamentally these markets remain strong. If the January reports are friendly grains, the acreage battle could keep us strong right into the March 31st planting intentions report. We like staying well protected in case the bullish bias doesn't hold, and we like to remain with our spring call spreads for upside potential.
Technically the market continues to look strong but is getting towards overbought levels. The next target for December corn is $5.65, and we are not far away from that. We are still looking at getting short term put protection on for corn and beans. Implied volatility is very high, so if you are thinking about options please call you broker to discuss strategies.
Markets are expected to be low volume through December 31st as many traders are on vacation. If you are looking to add additional protection, or have any market questions, please don't hesitate to give your broker a call.
