The lactating dairy cow is not as fertile as she once was. And the likely culprit is not going to go away. But wait, there's hope for ol' Bessie. This story will outline the likely reasons for the decline of dairy cow fertility and discuss reproductive management methods to help alleviate this problem.
Infertility of the lactating dairy cow continues to be a critical problem limiting profitability and sustainability of dairy farms [1, 2]. Reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows is dependent upon service rate (or estrus detection rate), fertility of the service sire, and maternal fertility. Service rate can be controlled utilizing Ovsynch technology (Figure 1; [3, 4]). The majority of dairy producers in the U.S. regulate time to first and subsequent artificial inseminations (AI) with Ovsynch technology [5]. High fertility sires can be chosen utilizing the USDA-AIPL summaries sire conception rates. Yet, maternal fertility, defined as the mother's ability to ovulate a competent oocyte and provide an oviductal and uterine environment capable of fertilization and complete embryonic and fetal development, continues to be the key limiting factor for successful reproductive performance in lactating dairy cows.
Conception rates of lactating cows are approximately 30 percent compared to 60 percent for virgin dairy heifers [4, 6] when inseminated following a detected estrus. Increasing conception rates of lactating cows to that of heifers would allow producers to employ the most profitable calving interval strategies for cows with different milk production levels. Aspects of maternal fertility that are limiting to conception and embryonic/fetal development are becoming better understood. Modifications to Ovsynch also are being developed to enhance maternal fertility while continuing to control service rate.
Why is Fertility Compromised in Lactating Dairy Cows?
Circulating concentrations of steroid hormones significantly change following the transition from heifer to lactating cow. Serum concentrations of progesterone and estrogen are reduced by about 50 percent in cows compared with heifers, even though the corpus luteum (CL; the structure in the ovary that produces progesterone) and ovulatory follicle (the structure in the ovary that produces estrogen and ovulates the egg) are larger in cows.
Duration of estrus also is longer in heifers. This is likely due to greater amounts of estrogen in circulation compared with cows. The difference in progesterone appears to influence follicular growth by prolonging the age of the ovulatory follicle. Therefore, oocytes (eggs) from the ovulatory follicle of lactating dairy cows may have a lesser chance to be fertilized or develop into a competent embryo compared with oocytes of heifers which have greater concentrations of progesterone [7].

Magnus Buzzcuts and Stingers, both the 2-blade and 4-blade.
346gn arrows right at 300fps.
Im surprised to see the amount of people still using fixed blade heads...good for you guys, they are without a doubt superior to any mechanical.
I use Magnus Buzzcuts 85 grain. I have used slick tricks and rocky mountains in the past with success...Magnus seem to be the best so far though
Im still wondering how you guys get your muzzys to fly with your field points...That was one broadhead that pissed me off soo much.
But, if you can get it to work, all the power to you.
This last season I picked up the Carbon Express F15's, and had no problems grouping with my fpoints. Had to pick different spots at 40 yds because I broke two on each other, and took a fletching off. Unfortunately I didn't get to find out about what kind of blood trail they'll leave but will let you know next season!

2005 Saber: 70#, same arrow, 250 fps
Steelforce Phatheads...........shot them 315fps with no problems
............."You'll have that on those big jobs!!"..............
2011 Hoyt Maxxis 35
2012 Hoyt CRX 35
Have been looking at Werewolf broadheads. I should wish they could be in 125 gr.
My setup are: Dw: 60#, Dl: 29", Victory v-force 400 arrows.
Do I have do change arrows to shoot the 150gr.? Looks like I am on the borderline to 350 arrows?
One option are the 125gr. Silverflame, but they are expensive!

There is long-standing interest in identifying orphan works, books that are subject to copyright but whose copyright holders cannot be identified or contacted. Orphan works comprise a significant percentage of ARL collections, and there is deep interest in making these works discoverable and more accessible. Recently, the University of Michigan announced the initiation of the Orphan Works Project. The focus of the project is on US digitized books held by HathiTrust, a partnership of major research institutions and libraries working to ensure that the cultural record is preserved and accessible long into the future.
Presented at the 158th ARL Membership Meeting, May 2011.
This report summarizes research into the current application of fair use to meet the missions of U.S. academic and research libraries. Sixty-five librarians were interviewed confidentially by telephone for around one hour each. They were asked about their employment of fair use in five key areas of practice: support for teaching and learning, support for scholarship, preservation, exhibition and public outreach, and serving disabled communities.
These comments on the revised NIH Public Access Policy are submitted on behalf of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). Public support for science is enhanced when the public sees the benefits from our Nation's investment in scientific research. There is no doubt that scientific research is advanced by greater access to and dissemination of knowledge and the building upon the work of others.
In order to identify those small molecules that will have the greatest effect on a disease or biological process, NIH will soon be awarding grants to a number of academic centers throughout the United States that will constitute the Molecular Libraries Screening Center Network (MLSCN). Critical to the success of this initiative and the work of the Centers is PubChem, a publicly available database that includes information about the biological activities of chemical compounds.

Judas Iscariot, the anti-hero of the story of the crucifixion, has been heaped with scorn and ridicule over the centuries. "Judas" is not used as a child's name because it became the synonym for betrayal, for being a back-stabber. In Christian art, he is portrayed in dark, sinister tones. Events in western Christian history from the Inquisition in the fourteenth century to the expulsion of the Jews from almost every country of Europe at one time or another, to Martin Luther's call for the burning of synagogues, to the violence and killing frenzy of the Holocaust in the twentieth century are all rooted substantially in Judas and because he was a Jew, applied to all Jews.

The back story to the Tower of Babel myth is that the orignial plans called for anything but babble. But where once humankind may have all spoken the same language with one unifying plan to build a place all could dwell and abide one another, it has long since ever been the case. "We live in a pluri-verse, not a uni-verse," says Raimon Panikkar. Ours is a pluralistic age in which we have many different and opposing – even sometimes mutually incompatible — worldviews that threaten planetary human coexistence. In the midst of such chaos and confusion, how can we tolerate each other's differences? Or, some might ask, should we even try? I consider myself a very tolerant person! The only people I cannot abide are ignorant and intolerant bigots! Does that make me intolerant as well, or merely principled?

I encountered a typical complaint the other day, one that over the years I've heard more variations on than a chess master has openings.
"I don't really like to eat meat, because those animals are just so abused."
The speaker was an otherwise intelligent, well-educated young woman with enough smarts and savvy to have risen to the managerial ranks in her company at an age my biggest accomplishment was blowing my measly paycheck—and my weekend—on the futile pursuit of whatever girl du jour I had no chance of landing.
This particular young woman was a sucker for the "pumped full of antibiotics and hormones" rhetoric that anti-industry activists are so adept at disseminating. Even though she admits to being underweight and anemic, she vowed to gain her way back to a normal BMI by increasing her consumption of—wait for it—peanut butter.
I'll grant you, George Washington Carver was a genius who created some 300 uses for the peanut, but none of his patents involved the reversal of anemia. Although highly nutritious, a jar of Skippy isn't going to take anyone to a place, nutritionally speaking, that lean meat can't go more efficiently and, truth be told, contributing far fewer calories and fat to one's diet (a single cup of peanut butter delivers more than 1,500 calories, two-thirds of them from fat).
That's the predictable part of the discussion I had with this young woman. The interesting part, however, was that her objections to eating meat centered not on how animals are killed, but on how they lived. It's not about humane slaughter, it's about humane lifestyle, if that term can be properly applied to farm animals.
Interesting, because her objections echo the more recent positioning of the activist community. Ten years ago, there were high-profile campaigns against inhumane slaughter, and lots of accusations about animals being skinned alive and chickens getting manhandled at the plant, and pigs jammed into overheated trailers on their way to slaughter.
Those issues, however, have largely subsided, and for the past five years or so, the thrust of both the activist community's propaganda and its campaign funding has been focused squarely on living conditions, not slaughter. Thus, the referenda launched against gestation stalls and battery cages and veal crates, and the concurrent marketing of the benefits of free-range production, open housing systems and the outdoor access that many alternative agriculture participants preach to their customers.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Prime R250-1 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Now you can get Rockford Fosgate performance at value prices. Prime Series amplifiers bring out your music's subtle details as they drive your speakers with the clean power you need to overcome road noise and fill your car with sound. Rockford Fosgate designed Prime amps to deliver Power Output Without Excessive Regulation (POWER), which means they'll respond quickly to the peak demands that you may put on your system. Your driver's seat will become your favorite place for listening when you add the clarity and impact of a Rockford Fosgate amp. The R250-1 mono amp powers your subwoofers with up to 250 watts RMS so you will feel the bass. A low-pass filter and Rockford Fosgate's famous Punch bass boost lets you adjust your bass for your enclosure and vehicle. A phase switch gets your subs to work together with the rest of your car's audio system for maximum impact. A wired remote lets you control the amp's volume level from the front seat, allowing you to adjust the bass for different types of music.

Ordered this amp with one rockford fosgate 10 inch sub also available on the site for my 2008 lincoln mkz. After buying a Pioneer touchscreen head unit and installing everything very satisfied with the sound. The stock speakers in my mkz aren't bad at all so with the 10" sub thats rated at 150 watts its the perfection combination of deep excellent sounding bass that doesn't overpower the vocals, which i seem to have been seeing alot of with friends systems. Pros: Absolutey love the gain controller that came in box with the amp ran the wire in my door sill to the front and attached it using velcroe about 5 inches down and 3 inches to the left of my steering wheel, and love being able to control how much power my sub is getting without having to go to my trunk and manually do it. Cons: I have had everything installed for about a month now with no problems. If any occur ill be sure to come back and explain, but for now completely happy! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 good little amp Written By T$, Tennessee on Friday, February 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great amp for the money. Lots of power and versatility in a small package. Runs cool @4 ohms. Sounds great. What you would expect from Rockford Fosgate. Pros: Compact, Options, options, options. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 NOT WORKING Written By Tim, New Jersey on Monday, February 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I thought this would be a great amp to go with my 10" bazooka tube, but after hooking everything up, it does not work. The protect light is on and there is power going to the unit. I tested the tube and hooked up another speaker to it and tried again, still nothing. Called Crutchfield tech support, they were very helpful, but they told me they have discontinued this product so i can not exchanger for a new one. Wonder why. I will look at another brand amp for my tube. Pros: price and power Cons: did not work and discontinued from Crutchfield. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Do Your Homework! Written By Patrick, Groton, CT on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 This is a quality amp for entry level car audio enthusiasts (that's me). It gives an honest 250 RMS which is plenty for one or two subs. Do your homework though. It will not sound great if you are trying to power a sub that's rated for 300 - 600 RMS. This amp performs as advertised. You will get good deep bass, but it will not rattle your car to pieces. Pros: Price, Sound Quality, Performance Cons: It's a big amp for the power rating 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Amp! Written By AdamH, Rockford, IL on Tuesday, April 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have to admit I'm truly amazed at the power this amp pushes out. I have it pared up with a single Kicker 10C124 connected up to my factory system in my 06 Vibe. I'm really surprised even being a factory system how well this amp produces the lows. The first one I received worked for about 2 weeks but apparently had a defect. The fuse blew one morning but had no issues with Crutchfield shipping me a replacement. The replacement actually came quicker than the agent quoted. Don't let this discourage you I mean really this isn't a perfect world. I've had the replacement for nearly a year and haven't had any issues. As a matter of fact I have a second one on order right now for my other car. If you don't like to drown out your music with bass but still have a solid punch this is the amp to go with for a sub I mentioned above. I'm very pleased! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 No Go!! Written By gtjinter, Downingtown, PA on Sunday, July 11, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp didn't work for me,After I installed it, It started smoking out the sides. I had it installed locally and they said it was defective and underpowered for my one 10" Alpine type R sub. Crutchfield took it back no problem, Maybe it works if you just want a little bass or if you are pairing it up with low end subs.. I needed something more powerful to beat my sub daily.. Will not recommend. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Perfect Amp for Single Sub Setups. Written By Eric, Ruffin, NC on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Rockford Fosgate 250-1 is a great Amp. From the factory it comes with a certificate that shows that they test every amp before it leaves the factory. Mine is rated at 273 watts RMS on the sheet, this to me shows that Rockford amps can push almost any sub very hard. The 250-1 sounds great, has good thump, and is very clean sounding. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 A great Amp! Written By RossenP, Buffalo, NY on Sunday, June 20, 2010 This amp does it's job very well. The wiring was simple, as expected, the controls are exactly as described, and the remote gain knob is very convenient. Paired with a Bazooka sub, this amp delivers nice and deep base. No noise or distortion noticed, and the amp stays relatively cool when powered on (Note: At no point was i blasting this amp to the max, so if you like everyone in a two-mile range to hear the kick drum of your music, you should be in a different boat). The styling is also pretty sleek! I installed this in a '04 Honda Civic and it fit nicely in the trunk, mounted on of a custom carpeted board that i screwed into the side of the trunk. Overall, I was very pleased with this amp's performance and its clear and deep base. Not the most powerful amp out there, but then again, you already know that! Highly recommended product! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Although there's a pool deck overlooking the ocean, a lovely spa, and cutting-edge gym, the real stand-out here is the large rooms that start at 600 square feet (and each one has a full kitchenette and spacious marble bathroom). The ground floor restaurant and lounge includes a wrap-around porch for eating al fresco, and more casual dining can be had up on the pool deck. The hotel doesn't quite match its main competitor, the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale, but it's much more affordable and prices are very reasonable considering all you get for your money.
By far the sexiest of the grand dames lining Fort Lauderdale Beach, the stunning design and painstaking attention to detail here are enough to wow even the most jaded travelers; unique design elements are around every corner, like a clear staircase that takes you up through the pool. In addition, there are two pool decks, a happening scene at three bars, a steak restaurant, sleek rooms, and a Bliss Spa. However, the hotel's size means you can't count on personalized service.
The Hilton Fort Lauderdale, located on the Intracoastal Waterway, has beautiful marina views and is convenient for those who are docking their boats. It's a good value, with a large pool and modern, well-kept, contemporary rooms, but there's a downside -- getting to the beach requires a car (although the hotel provides a free shuttle service).
The all-white Sonesta Fort Lauderdale (formerly B Ocean Fort Lauderdale) sits just across the street from the beach, with an austere, minimalist design -- similar to the style of a W hotel, with subtle neon lighting in the lobby come nightfall. The ocean views are the star here, but you'll also find two great restaurants and a small pool with an accompanying outdoor bar. Despite a trendy appearance, this 240-room hotel is popular with families, and it's not uncommon to see kids splashing in the pool or eating dinner in the restaurants.
Right across from the beach, the Westin's strong suit is its wealth of amenities: a kids club, a Starbucks, an outdoor event space, and a well-known steakhouse, for starters. At the center of it all is a huge conference center with two ballrooms, the hotel's pride that was opened in late 2010 (which means the hotel is more focused on business travel as compared to its leisure-oriented sister down the road, Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel). The hotel re-opened in early 2010 after a major renovation that left it with a clean, modern design full of beachy accents.
The Old Key West decor of this 156-room hotel is a welcomed changed from the modern, minimalist design that is the norm at most Fort Lauderdale hotels; instead, picture a veranda with rocking chairs, a stately porte-cochere, rattan furniture, and whirling ceiling fans. Rooms look like they're straight out of a bed and breakfast, and the hotel's location directly on the sand is a rarity in this city.
Directly across from the beach and right next to the hipper W Fort Lauderdale, the Hilton is a large, 374-room hotel that's busy, clean, and comfortable, if somewhat predictable. Guests will find a big pool deck overlooking the ocean (though an outdoor pool bar is conspicuously absent), an adjacent restaurant with outdoor seating, a fitness center, a spa (including some outdoor massage huts), and a cafe on the ground floor (but this is the extent of the hotel's offerings, save for some meeting rooms). It's more affordable than many of its neighbors, but beware that the smallest rooms may not have balconies or even windows that open.
The quiet, romantic 18-room Pillars Hotel feels like it could be someone's waterfront home, with its well-kept grounds, casual, beach-y decor, lovely terraces, and bright but small rooms and bathrooms. The hotel's highlight is its courtyard pool, which features a beautiful view of the Intracoastal Waterway, but those wanting to stay directly on the beach may consider the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, which is larger but has a similar beach-cottage feel in the rooms and restaurants.
Lago Mar Resort is an upscale 204-room hotel located on 500 feet of private beach in Fort Lauderdale. The family-friendly resort is packed with amenities like two pools, a full-service spa, a spacious gym, and multiple restaurants/bars -- including a poolside tiki-style bar. Guest rooms are decorated with slightly dated tropical prints and wood furniture; all rooms have kitchenettes, and some have balconies with ocean views. Lago Mar provides a quieter vacation away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and the bar scene. Further north on the beach and closer to downtown Fort Lauderdale, the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa has many of the same amenities for similar rates, but is more modern.
After its $25 million makeover, this 650-room Marriott in Fort Lauderdale is great for kids -- giant pool, kids' club, big, comfortable guest rooms -- but there's still plenty for grown-ups, including yoga classes at the fitness center, an adult-only pool, and a full-service spa and salon. Just watch out for the nickel-and-diming.

Fruits and Flowers
With its subtle splendor, this sculptural floral style is quietly stealing the spotlight in even the most elaborately decorated homes. Ariella Chezar is known for her mouthwateringly lush pairings of fruits with garden roses—and the fancy flowers aren't the scene-stealers. "To my mind, a cluster of berries or a pile of apples is as exquisite as a bunch of roses, so by combining fruits and flowers I get the best of both worlds," says Chezar, who divides her time between San Francisco and New York. Bridget Vizoso, of New York City's Designers' Co-op, says, "I like to have the feel of a micro-garden in my arrangements. So I'll start with a small strawberry or raspberry plant, say, and work flowers around it. And I like it when a bit of the centerpiece falls on the table and gets eaten."
Above, Salt Lake City designer Sarah Winward banishes the chills with an arrangement good enough to eat. "Marais" frame by Larson-Juhl; "Dove Tail" paint by Farrow & Ball.

"3 Men and a Baby": When Macaulay Culkin Forms an Art Collective with Adam Green, Toby Goodshank
In the living room of Macaulay Culkin's New York City apartment, canvases occupy the space like so many peculiar yet irresistibly magnetic house guests. The room—converted into an art studio—is congested with the vestiges of creativity at work: bottles of paint huddle together in bunches, and paintbrushes spring up like wild vegetation.
What began in earnest in February 2012 as collaborative art-making between Culkin and two artist-musician friends Adam Green and Toby Goodshank—both formerly of the anti-folk band The Moldy Peaches—has coalesced into an art collective affectionately dubbed Three Men and a Baby, or 3MB. The collective's first art show, a group of frenetic, eclectic, and irreverent paintings entitled Leisure Inferno, opens at Le Poisson Rouge (LPR) in New York's Greenwich Village on Thursday, September 13.
As the title of the exhibition suggests, the prevailing motivation behind the making of the paintings was fun. That motivation naturally lent itself to a work environment rooted in playful camaraderie. Culkin—who goes by the name "Mack"—explains the open-ended process of beginning a painting: "We would take two or three words—'disco'…'luau'…'Hellraiser'—and we'd all just kind of giggle about that. 'Alright, let's do it.' We have no idea really what it's going to look like, or what our grand vision is, but we would have a good old laugh and just go for it. And I think the results speak for themselves in a certain kind of way."
The collaborative dynamic at work, while much more common in music, is rare in visual art. "Certainly we all have different techniques but we found it fun to paint together at the same time, explains Green. "Just literally three people standing in front of the canvas with paintbrushes and painting at the same time." Perhaps this distinctive process can be linked to the brotherly bond between the artists. "The connection I feel with them is pretty extraordinary," says Goodshank. "It's lovely to get together with them all the time."
The show is populated with canvases wrought with wild colors ranging from bright quasi-fluorescents to darker, muddier hues; the style of shapes and brushstrokes vary with each new figure in the painting. Most of the works either incorporate multimedia collage or strongly hint at it. In "Hellraiser Disco Luau," the cartoon-inspired pig and mouse do the hula near a grass-skirt-wearing Pinhead and a highly abstract , serpentine version of Garfield—all underneath a glittering disco ball, ocean-side. While this hyperactive melange of pop culture references and visual eye candy can be dizzying at first glance, a cohesiveness emerges amidst the seeming nonsensical and disparate elements. "I think we took a slant with it where there were really no mistakes," says Mack. "There was nothing wrong with a piece. I might have painted that corner differently than him, but it looks right. There are no mistakes in a show like this."
Even with all the thematic non sequiturs and "low brow" imagery—and perhaps because of it—Three Men and a Baby seem acutely aware of their distinct interplay with highbrow art and the implications of that relationship. Mack elaborates:
You go to the Met or something like that, and you see some of the paintings from the Renaissance era. A lot of those were probably the most technically proficient paintings in the entire museum. However, when you go to the Modern wing, they might not be as technically proficient, might not have as much skill—but those are the kind of things you want on your wall. Well, what do we want to put on our wall? It's not necessarily about technique, it's more about the ideas. It's more about just what you want to look at.
Green has a decidedly more tongue-in-cheek perspective. "We didn't have a lot to compare it to," he says of 3MB. "We didn't feel like we were competing with other three-men collaborative painting groups."
The ideas in Leisure Inferno are zany, sometimes edgy, but brimming with satirical affection. "RBI" portrays a baseball game in which Luigi pitches a fireball to former New York Yankee Don Mattingly. Elsewhere, Mario wanders through a gloomy expressionist landscape as Jean-Michel Basquiat and JonBenét Ramsay look on from distant perches in "Jean Benet Basquiat."
In "Cast of Seinfeld," Jerry and Kramer stand on the set of "Wheel of Fortune" as they serve as nude models for the artists He-Man and Orko (Masters of the Universe). While these fabricated scenes are undoubtedly bizarre, there was an intriguing layer of reality that only added to the surreality. "There was some awareness that even Mack could be in a Leisure Inferno painting, you know?" says Green. "I think that is interesting."
The first manifestation of what would become the 3MB Collective goes back to 2010, during the making of Green's independently made feature-length film The Wrong Ferrari. Shot entire on an iPhone, the movie starred both Green and Culkin, with Goodshank shooting much of the film; all three collaborated on the set designs. Featuring ample amounts of provocation and pop culture, thoughtfulness and blistering self-awareness, the film was later made available for free online. "[Leisure Inferno] was more of a holdover from making the film…And it was just like, 'Why don't we try to focus that into a group art show?" Culkin explains. " 'Why don't we keep this momentum up, [this] creativity?' Next thing you know we're doing Leisure Inferno."
For Culkin, Goodshank, and Green alike, this art collective debut marks several milestones in their respective careers. Goodshank, a skilled draughtsman who had previously worked primarily with pen and ink, was new to the medium of painting prior to the collaboration. "I find that working with Mack and Adam, they're constantly inspiring me and encouraging me," says Goodshank of his foray into painting. For Green—a voracious painter who has had two solo shows this year alone—Leisure Inferno represents his first official group exhibition. The exhibition at Le Poisson Rouge will be Culkin's public debut as visual artist. Green seems to sense an adventurous, risk-taking spirit inherent in the collective's work. " I do think that that attitude of just doing something for fun benefited the show a lot," says Green. "It allowed us to be prolific and to work without fear."
The Leisure Inferno exhibition at LPR continues through December 15, 2012.

"If you know this man or possible his family, I need to find them right away. His mother may still be alive also. We believe her name is Betty J.(?) Tapp, also from around the Jackson, GA area. Sharing this will help," read one Facebook post.
"We are trying to find the family or friends of this gentleman. His name was Larry Dewayne "Catfish" Tapp and may have a relative by the name of Victoria M. Doyle. He is known to have lived in Ellijay, Smyrna and possibly Jackson, Georgia. If you know him, his family or Mrs. Doyle please contact Tracy Bennett via Facebook with information. Please help spread the search by sharing this picture on your wall," read the photo's caption.
Cartersville police officers arrived on scene just before 1:30 p.m. Dec. 28 after two homeless men reported they had found Tapp dead. According to the incident report, all three men were sharing an encampment in the woods between Collins Drive and the movie theatre on Tennessee Street.
The two men who reported the death told officers that all three had been drinking heavily the night before and that the deceased had been off his seizure medication for a few days.
Both men reported hearing the deceased get up during the night and leave camp. When he did not return, they told officers they expected he had either been arrested or admitted to the hospital.
Friday morning, one of the men leaving camp found the deceased on a trail between their encampment and the theatre. After finding the deceased, he called for the other witness on scene to help check for vitals. Finding none, the two men ran to Collins Drive where they waved down a motorist and called 911.
