years our hunters enjoy a 100% success!
Welcome To Hunts Bow Hunting Ranch. Hunt's
Bow Hunting Texas Ranch is a Texas bow hunting only ranch. We do allow and
welcome crossbows. Much time and effort has been put into building
this ranch keeping the bow hunter in mind. We are bow hunters
ourselves and know and understand the needs of a bow hunter.
We have worked hard to make this a ranch where the hunter has
a high success of bagging the trophy of his choice. The ranch
is located in Northeast Texas. We are about 45 miles west of
Texarkana, Texas. We are located between DeKalb and Avery.
When a hunter comes
and hunts with us he will see many animals while on his stand.
Our stands are placed in ideal spots with cover close by. Each
stand has a feeder and a food plot to bring the animals into
bow range. Hunters will see many exotic animals including: Catalina goats, Ibex goats, African
mountain goats, Corsican rams, Black Hawaiian rams, Texas Dall
rams, Mouflon rams, Fallow deer, Sika deer, Red deer, Blackbuck
antelope, and numerous other animals. We have ladder stands,
tripods, and 3 stands that are wheel chair accessible. These
3 stands also make good stands where 2 people can hunt together.
We encourage you to bring one of your children to tag along.
We do not charge as long as there is only one child and that
they are coming as a non-hunting guest. Bow Hunting the Exotics.
We believe this
to be one of the best bow hunting ranches in Texas to take your first bow
kill. If you are a veteran bow hunter and are looking for that
special trophy we will try our best to make it happen for you.
We have meat hunts to animals that will score high in the record
Our hunts are
2-day hunts. We charge $200 for guide/bunkhouse, but when you
take an animal the guide fee is waived. You only owe for
the animal you take.
HuntsBowHunting Is On Facebook!
We now take credit cards!

Bonding with your dog
People often insist that the new dog they adopt must come to them in puppyhood in order to bond with the family. The confusion over this idea comes from a study, often borne out by real-life experience, that puppies who do not have any human handling at all during a critical socialization period will grow up with poor socialization skills or sometimes no ability to bond with a human.
What people don't understand, though, is that the human in the puppy's early life does not have to be you. It's the ABILITY to bond that is formed through this early experience. Dogs routinely form new bonds with humans at all stages of life.To read more or comment...

Urban Cat Hunting: Out Trapping Feral Felines For the SPCA
On any given day, one to 10 volunteers are off trapping feral cats for San Francisco's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The animals are spayed or neutered, socialized if at all possible (which, after eight months of age, is a lost cause) and put up for adoption -- or released back into the wild. "Mohun Biswas," a veteran volunteer with more than 200 documented feral cat-trappings to his name (which he painstakingly records on yellow legal papers which he can whip out of his back pocket on a moment's notice) loads up a pair of boom box-sized traps and tosses them into the van. It's time for what Biswas refers to as a night of "humane hunting." Read the full story ->To read more or comment...

Top 10 dog care essentials
There are few things in life that are more fun and rewarding than bringing a dog into your family. Your dog will offer your family years of love and loyalty, as long as you provide him with food, shelter, responsible care and love in return.
With these ten basic care tips tucked safely under your belt, you will be prepared to offer your pooch the best life he could ask for.
1. Give your dog an identification tag. Every pet should always wear a collar that sports an identification tag with your name, telephone number and address. It is a fact of life that dogs can sometimes get out of their houses or yards, and may need a little help getting back home. If your dog's got some sort of identification, it will greatly increase the chances that he will be returned safely to you.

Can your dog get hives? The answer is yes. Although it is not as common as other types of skin conditions your dog may face, it can certainly be a problem and something all owners should be aware of.
There are basically two different forms of hives in dogs; Urticaria, which is an outbreak on their body of swollen bumps, patches, or welts that will appear very suddenly, or Angioedema, which is similar except the swelling happens beneath the skin, not on the skin.To read more or comment...

Microchipping pays off
Skitty, a Siamese cat, didn't know that wandering off from her family was a bad idea. What made it worse is the family had road tripped from Florida to Wisconsin to visit relatives. Five months later Skitty was found under a porch as a stray and taken to a vet's office. When a veterinarian scanned the cat for a microchip, the device detected a code identifying the lost cat as Skitty.

Dog Ownership 101: Some Advice for the Obamas
Now that the First Dog has made its way to the White House, now is a good time for some Dog Ownership 101 lessons.
Lessons to be learned:
Animal Rights Activitists Busy in Ohio
Once again animal rights activists are busy in Columbus trying to get legislation passed that will make if difficult, if not eventually impossible, for us to own cats and dogs. Here is a portion of a news letter from The Sporting Dog Alliance, with permission to cross post. Please contact your senator voicing your concerns.
For example, not everyone who has an unaltered dog breeds. Some who are active in performance events such as agility and obedience choose to not alter their dogs, especially males. Much of the "research" that activist spot off has been proven to not be true. Example, did you know that a dog has less than 6% chance of getting prostrate cancer? Yet, that is what they say to encourage neutering. What they do not tell you, especially with early spaying and neutering, you almost guarantee that your dog will end up with other forms or cancer which are much more deadly.To read more or comment...
Going green benefits your dog's health as well as the planet
You recycle. You eat organic. You put on a sweater before you crank up the heat. But have you ever considered your dog's effect on the environment? And have you thought about what the environment's doing to your dog?
The surprising answer: quite a lot. A recent study from eco-watchdogs Environmental Working Group found that cats and dogs are carrying around a cocktail of 48 different industrial chemicals in their bodies--many of them at much higher levels than what's found in people. Some of those chemicals have been linked to thyroid problems, birth defects, and cancer, among other conditions.To read more or comment...

What Every Pet Owner Should Know about Heartworms
According to a recent study conducted by The American Heartworm Society (AHS), heartworm disease continues to be a major health concern throughout the United States. The study indicates the need to continue to raise awareness among the more than 82 million pet owners about this potentially deadly disease and correct some of the misconceptions about its transmission, prevention and treatment.
The results of the study show that heartworm incidence in dogs is on the rise in the US and there is a continued increase in the geographical spread of the disease. The extended occurrences were found particularly in the northwest region and around the Rocky Mountain States. The Delta, South-central and Southeast regions also saw an increase in reported cases, with prevalence being the highest in the Delta region.
Heartworm disease is found in all 50 states. All dogs, regardless of breed, size, general health – and whether they are considered indoor or outdoor pets – are vulnerable to it. Once a dog tests positive for heartworms, treatment for the disease is complicated. It's lengthy, traumatic to the pet and its owner, expensive, and can be risky. Cats can get infected too, and while heartworms are easy to prevent, there is no approved treatment if they get infected. .
Heartworms are transmitted by an infected mosquito biting your dog and depositing tiny larvae on the skin which migrate through the tissues and mature until they reach the heart and lungs. There, they cause debilitating damage that can rob the animal of its energy, its quality of life and, eventually, of life itself.
"Fortunately, there is an easy, reliable way to prevent pets from contracting heartworm disease in the first place," said Dr. Sheldon Rubin, president of AHS. "Heartworm Preventives are highly effective, convenient to administer, and available at a small fraction of the cost of treatment," he added. They must be dispensed by a licensed veterinarian.
Pet owners are urged to consult their veterinarians about heartworm disease, and to follow his or her recommendations carefully in order to protect their pets. "The American Heartworm Society (AHS) hopes to raise pet-owner awareness of heartworm disease and has designated "April is Heartworm Awareness Month," said Dr. Sheldon Rubin, president of AHS.

Benefit raffle for pets
Responsible pet owners know one of the best things they can do for their cat or dog is to have them spayed or neutered. The benefits of spaying and neutering are far-reaching, since altered animals tend to be healthier and have fewer behavioral problems.
Also, they don't contribute to the overpopulation problem, so fewer animals end up homeless, in shelters or on the street. For 28 years the Animals Protection Guild has sponsored low-cost spay and neuter programs in the community.
The group tirelessly raises funds to assist with spay and neuter programs by sponsoring the Animal Attic, a resale store located at 3124 Ninth St. S.W., in Canton. Here they accept donations of new or nearly new items for sale, with all proceeds going to benefit spay and neuter programs. Since 1982 the Guild has financially assisted with over 68,000 surgeries.

Teamwork saves Ohio cat from tree top
FREMONT, OHIO -- The Society for the Protection of Animals (S.P.A.) received a call Tuesday morning from a Helena resident who was concerned about a cat who had become stuck in a tree more than 40 feet up in the air. He'd been up there for three days, the caller said.
Terry McGrady, S.P.A. vice-president, received a return call from Juan Castillo of Northwest Ohio Tree Services, Inc. around 6 p.m. Tuesday evening. Mr. Castillo said he'd pick up his bucket truck in Fremont and then meet McGrady in Helena.
"I have never seen anything like it, "Barbara McGrady, S.P.A. president said. "The cat eagerly jump right into Mr. Castillo's arms. Normally, they are very frightened, but this cat was obviously ready to get his four paws on the ground."

Spotting Arthritis in Dogs
Arthritis doesn't discriminate. It affects not only people of all ages -- including children -- but also strikes our furry friends, too. If you're a dog-owner, you make sure your buddy takes his heartworm medicine, eats well, looks bright-eyed and playful, and greets you as only a doggy can when you come home. You notice changes in mood and activity, so if your pet isn't feeling his best you may suspect a cold or stomach virus – but it could be arthritis. In fact, arthritis affects one in every five adult dogs in the U.S. and is one of the most common sources of chronic pain that veterinarians treat.
Spot's Pals Are Early Diagnosis and Treatment
How do you know if it's arthritis? Your dog can't explain what's wrong with him, so it's important to watch his non-verbal cues closely and take even subtle changes seriously.To read more or comment...

Detroit Beats New York, in Baseball and in Terror TrialsKaren J. Greenberg in The New York Times City Room, October 18, 2011
Media Source
By CLYDE HABERMAN
Bad enough that Detroit had New York's number in the baseball playoffs. Now it has outclassed us in handling people accused of terrorism. Guess which situation should truly leave New Yorkers hanging their heads.
At a federal courthouse in Detroit's central business district, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, forever to be known as the Underwear Bomber, admitted to being the wretch who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day 2009. This embracer of Al Qaeda from Nigeria surprised everyone the other day by suddenly pleading guilty to all charges.
He then got the chance he wanted to prattle on about how terrible America was. Somehow, the nation survived his rant. The odds are good that Mr. Abdulmutallab, 24, will spend the rest of his days behind bars.
And so another terrorist bites the dust.
Detroit managed this with little to none of the political wailing that we have been subjected to in New York.
For sure, security was tighter than normal there. Bomb-sniffing dogs were put to work. Metal detectors were set up. A side street near the courthouse was closed off. "There was noticeable security, but it wasn't at ridiculous levels," said a Detroit reporter who covered the case but felt uncomfortable speaking for attribution.
Life, in other words, went on.
Nor did politicians there go on and on about the wrongheadedness of holding such a terrorism trial in the heart of their city. Some prominent figures did raise objections early on, including to this defendant's getting lawyers at the expense of overburdened, underserved taxpayers. But the grumbling didn't last long.
On the contrary, the Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit chapter of the N.A.A.C.P., told The Detroit News soon after Mr. Abdulmutallab's arrest that it would be wrong "for us not to give him his day in court."
"If we do that," Mr. Anthony was quoted as saying, "then we become what our enemies are. They get the victory. We do not."
Contrast that with the hand-wringing in New York over Washington's original plan to put Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, on trial at the federal courthouse downtown.
No way, nervous local officials and fear-filled politicians screamed. The Police Department insisted that it would have to turn Lower Manhattan into an armed camp. With that, the mayor reversed his reflexive endorsement of a civilian trial in Foley Square as a splendid idea, even a just one. After many months of hemming and hawing, the Obama administration also capitulated to the fearmongers.
Chiming in was a chorus — dominated by Republican voices — that said military tribunals were the only proper settings for the Mohammeds and Abdulmutallabs. Most of those people, including former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, did not object to civilian trials when George W. Bush was president. Once Barack Obama took over, they changed their tune.
Yet statistics show that civilian courts have been vastly more effective than military commissions in trying those accused of terrorism, putting them behind bars and keeping them there.
A decade after 9/11, the military system has managed only a handful of trials; some of the convicted defendants have already been set free. In comparison, a report last month from the Center on Law and Security at New York University showed that in the decade since Sept. 11, the American court system had dispensed with 431 criminal cases against jihadists, producing a conviction rate of 87 percent and an average prison sentence was 14 years.
Now the Underwear Bomber joins that crowd.
"Unlike in New York, Detroit officials were able to take a high-profile terrorism trial in stride," said Karen J. Greenberg, who used to be executive director of the N.Y.U. center. She recently became director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School. Even allowing for the fact that Mr. Abdulmutallab's trial did not involve a crime anywhere near the scale of 9/11, Ms. Greenberg said, "the idea that it would harm the security of Detroit's citizens did not become a cause célèbre."
Given how things have gone, New York is lucky that neither football team bearing the city's name has the Detroit Lions on its schedule. Right now, the Motor City is outclassing us in that field, too.

Tuesday night's premiere of Cold Water Cowboys was the third-highest series premiere in Discovery's history, the network said in a news release.
"Cold Water Cowboys is a true Canadian adventure," said Edwina Follows, Discovery's director of commissioning.
"Discovery is thrilled that more than a million Canadians tuned in and hope that audiences from coast-to-coast-to-coast continue to check in with the fisherman fraternity for the next nine weeks."
The Canadian-made, 10-part series by Paperny Entertainment follows six Newfoundland fishing captains and their crews through a fishing season on the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
En route to the fishing grounds, the crews contend with rough seas, equipment failure, pack ice and icebergs.
The series features Capt. Paul Tiller and crew of Valleyfield, Bonavista Bay; Richard Gillett and crew of Twillingate; Conway and Rick Caines and crew of Cow Head; Justin Bridger and crew of Carmanville; Donald Spence and crew from Port au Choix; and Todd Young and crew of Woody Point.
The premiere showed three of the crews going after crab and caplin, and overcoming a number of obstacles while in pursuit of their catch.
Tiller's boat broke a stabilizer, Gillett's crew had to work the boat through pack ice and had to deal with gear getting tangled with that of another boat, and Conway and Rick Caines and crew of Cow Head found a shark in their caplin seine having to release much of the catch to free the shark so it wouldn't puncture the gear.
The series also captures beautiful Newfoundland scenery and the harsh ocean environment.

Cono Sur Viognier 2005 - Colchagua Valley, Chile
Light gold in colour, this is fragrant and spicy on the nose and a little oily in the palate with tropical fruit, good acidity and a rich finish. Aged in stainless steel, 50% of which had oak staves inserted, it is not quite bone dry and has 14.5% alcohol by volume. ***½ NZ$14.95 (approx. US$9).
A full-bodied, light golden coloured wine with subtle oak, hints of apricot, vanilla and a delicate nutty apricot finish with good length. Aged in French oak for 7 months, it is almost bone dry and carries 14% alcohol by volume. ***½ NZ$24.95 (approx. US$15.20)
Cono Sur is one of the up and coming producers in Chile with some delicious wines - including an outstanding 20 Barrels Pinot Noir 2004. I thought the Viogniers okay - nice wines but not outstanding - good bronze medal standard or 3.5 stars out of 5. Tasted at a stand-up Chilean wine tasting on 20 June 2006.

Get the Look: Lily Collins' Flawless Complexion + Bold Red Lip at WonderCon
'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' star Lily Collins knocked it out of the park at WonderCon with flawless skin, a defined eye, and a gorgeous red lip. Here's how to get the look!
-Lucia Peters
Actress, fashionista, and beauty maven Lily Collins looked like the proverbial million bucks at the WonderCon panel for her upcoming film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, on March 30. A screen adaptation of the urban fantasy novel City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, the film features Lily as a seemingly ordinary New York teenager whose life spins out of control when she witnesses a murder at a club. After her mother is attacked and kidnapped by a man named Valentine (Jonathan Rhys Meyers—yum!), she finds herself thrown into a world of "Shadowhunters" and mystery. Sounds thrilling!
Naturally, Lily knocked it out of the fashion park at the panel in leather pants, a collared shirt, and a black leather jacket; to balance her oh-so-stylish ensemble, she went for a flawless complexion, defined eye, and bright red lip.
Read Beauty Road Test: Four Hot New Spring Eye Shadows to Make Your Peepers Pop
We're totally loving her beauty look—and lucky us, we've got the skinny on how she got it, thanks to Pur Minerals! Here's the step-by-step:
1. First, even out your skintone with Pur Minerals 4-in-1 pressed mineral makeup foundation with SPF 15 ($26, drugstore.com). It's concealer, powder, and SPF protection all in one—AND it gives your skin some TLC with shea butter and vitamin E at the same time. If you're as pale as Lily, use the Porcelain shade; the line has ten shades covering the entire spectrum, though, so go ahead and find your perfect match.
2. For a dramatic eye, sweep Pur Minerals pressed mineral eye shadow in Gold Marcasite ($14, purminerals.com) over your entire lid—it glides on super smoothly, and the crease-proof formula will give your eyes a long-lasting, luminous look. Line your top and bottom lashes with Pur Minerals eye defining pencil in Onyx ($17, ulta.com); then brush on two coats of Pur Minerals new Double Ego mascara ($21, purminerals.com) to your lashes for volume and length.
3. Finish off with a slick of Pur Minerals' new lip gloss stick in Dare Devil ($15, ulta.com) for a bold, red lip.
Now go knock 'em dead, you bombshell, you!

The Tornados will take on Lees-McRae on November 15 at 6 p.m., as the Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats are picked to finish eighth in the Conference Carolinas coaches' preseason poll after finishing last season with an 8-20 overall record. On November 16, BC is slated to face off with Lander on day two of the CNC Classic at 2 p.m. Last season, Lander posted an overall record of 23-12 and went to the second round of the NCAA Regional tournament, as the Lady Bearcats defeated SAC member Tusculum College in the first round, 83-78.
The Tornados will then play at Erskine College, who will playing under first year head coach Jessica Ridgill on November 22 at 2 p.m., before BC opens up their home schedule with back-to-back home games against Virginia Intermont College, who the Tornados split with last year, on November 25 at 6 p.m. and Converse College on November 29 at 2 p.m. Brevard College defeated Converse College by double-digit points in both of their games last season.
The Tornados will then tip-off their 2008 conference schedule on December 6, when they will travel to Greeneville, Tenn. to square off with the Lady Pioneers of Tusculum College. The Pioneers, who are the 2007-08 South Atlantic Conference regular season champions, are the favorites to repeat in 2008-09 according to the preseason SAC Coaches Poll. With the return of all five starters from last year's South Atlantic Conference championship team, the Tusculum College women's basketball team is ranked eighth in the nation according to the Women's Division II Bulletin Preseason Basketball Top 25. That game is slated for a 2 p.m. tip-off.
Brevard will then have close to two weeks before their next, as BC will travel to Gaffney, S.C. to face off with Limestone College on December 18 at 6 p.m. Last season, Limestone defeated the Tornados by 10 points in Boshamer Gymnasium, giving a little more flair to this year's lone meeting between the two teams.

Last season, Mars Hill swept the Tornados on their way to going 5-9 in the conference and 15-13 overall.
Coach Reid's squad will travel to Hickory, N.C. on January 7 for a 6 p.m. match up with Lenoir-Rhyne University, who is picked to finish fourth in the SAC according to the preseason coaches poll. The Bears bring back 11 letterwinners from last season, including the starting backcourt combo of Amber Holt and Jami Safrit, both of which were named to the preseason All-SAC teams.
The Tornados will then kick-off a four-game home stand, playing against Lincoln Memorial University on January 10 at 2 p.m., Erskine College on January 12 at 6 p.m., Catawba College only two days later on January 14 at 6 p.m. and Wingate University on January 17 at 2 p.m.
Last season, the Tornados dropped two close games to Lincoln Memorial, as both games were won in overtime by the Lady Railsplitters. Brevard will then play Erskine at home as part of the home and away agreement, before jumping head first into SAC play starting with the Catawba Indians on January 14.
Catawba swept the Tornados last season and are picked to finish seventh-place in the conference in 2008-09. This will be a special game for the Tornados new leader, as Coach Reid was a player under current Catawba Head Coach Angie Morton at Pfeiffer University.
Brevard will then take on Wingate University, who last season was the 2008 Food Lion SAC Tournament championship team, advanced to the Elite Eight in of the 2008 NCAA Division II National Tournament and finished the season ranked 10th in the nation. The Bulldogs, who are picked second in the SAC by the coaches, return 11 letterwinners off that squad including the 2008 Player of the Year and SAC Female Athlete of the Year in guard Anna Atkinson.
The Tornados will continue their SAC play on January 21 with a game at Carson-Newman College at 6 p.m., who swept the Tornados last season by almost identical scores, 72-53 and 72-50, before stepping out of conference play to battle the Lady Crusaders of North Greenville University on January 24. Brevard swept the two-game series last season over the Lady Crusaders, including winning a 57-52 overtime thriller in Tigerville, S.C. back on January 26, 2008. That non-conference game is slated for a 6 p.m. start at Hayes Gymnasium.
Brevard completes their first rotation around the SAC on January 28, when Newberry College comes to Boshamer for a 6 p.m. tip-off. The Tornados will look for redemption, as Newberry defeated the Tornados twice last season including a 33 point blowout at Boshamer Gymnasium.
The Tornados make a return trip to Mars Hill on January 31, a 2 p.m. game at Stanford Arena, and host Lenoir-Rhyne on February 4 at 6 p.m. The Tornados travel to Harrogate, Tenn. and cavernous Tex Turner Arena on February 7 for a 6 p.m. game with Lincoln Memorial before returning to Boshamer on February 11 for their final non-conference game of the season, a 6 p.m. match-up with North Greenville.
On Valentine's Day, February 14, Brevard heads to Wingate, N.C. and Cuddy Arena for a 2 p.m. game. Carson-Newman makes a return trip to Brevard on February 18, for a 6 p.m. tilt.
The 2008-09 home finale for BC will be on February 21 against Tusculum, as the game is slated for a 2 p.m. tip-off.
The final two regular season games of '08-'09 are on the road. Brevard goes to Newberry, S.C. and Eleazer Arena on February 25 for a 6 p.m. game with Newberry. The regular season finale is February 28 against Catawba. Salisbury, N.C. and Goodman Gym host the 2 p.m. match-up.
The 2009 SAC Tournament begins on March 4, when the top eight seeds in the nine-team conference play quarterfinal games at the home gyms of the top four seeds. The semifinals and championship game will once again be played at Catawba Valley Community College's Multipurpose Facility on March 7 and 8.

$6 million NSF grant to fund study of freshwater resources
Submitted by Jenn Wagaman
Phone: 907-474-5082
The University of Alaska Fairbanks is leading a $6 million program to investigate the effect of climate change on freshwater resources in Alaska and Hawaii.
The National Science Foundation grant will create the Pacific Area Climate Monitoring and Analysis Network, or PACMAN. The network is a partnership between UAF and the University of Hawaii.
"PACMAN builds on, supports and integrates research from several disciplines, from chemistry and conservation biology to geographic information systems and social-ecological modeling," said UAF project leader Buck Sharpton. "This project will significantly enhance the abilities of Alaskan and Hawaiian communities to understand, plan for and respond to changing climate conditions."
One aspect of the research will focus on measuring and understanding processes of global weather systems that influence the amount and location of rainfall. Because these systems are the main source of freshwater deposits, it's important to understand how their paths might change and to build predictive models of future water availability.
A broader goal of PACMAN is to incorporate other studies of climate effects on North Pacific ecosystems, such as existing models of ocean circulation, fresh water flow into the Bering Sea and the rate of melting sea ice.
A new 2.5-petabyte data storage facility and high performance computing resources at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will support the PACMAN project.
"ARSC is leveraging NSF funding to build new cyberinfrastructure capacity for computational scientists at UAF," said ARSC director Frank Williams. "This adds to UAF's potential as a leader in responding to computationally intensive solutions to issues of high priority to the state and nation."

'Sibling rivalry is nothing new for this pair. Martin, 25, might be three years older than Mathieu, but at 6-feet-3, 169 pounds, he also is 3 inches shorter and almost 50 pounds lighter. It was about nine years ago, when Mathieu grew 6 inches in six months that Martin became Mathieu's "big brother" in name only.'

NAEDA joined 141 other organizations in a July 24th letter supporting passage of a package of bills now named H.R. 4078, the "Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Jobs Creation Act." This bill would streamline the federal permitting process, impose transparency on the abused sue and settle process used by agencies and environmental groups to circumvent the rulemaking process, and to prohibit agencies from proposing or finalizing major midnight regulations.
The common sense reforms in this packaged bill would make the nation's regulatory process more transparent, efficient, and workable for businesses that create jobs and contribute to economic growth. Sound regulatory policy is not possible unless the process is open and public participation is
welcomed by agencies. At the center of these regulatory reforms is an effort to promote good government practices that encourage efficiency, sound analysis, and public involvement.

I'm in the middle of trying to sync 2 or more table row elements when overflow-x happens. So far, it's working... But something I'm struggling with is how to "reset" the TRs back to their original states (i.e. - "un" sync the sync).
$('fieldset.group-project-table').livequery(function(){//Using the livequery plugin to listen for DOM changes (i.e. - add / remove of TRs).
$('fieldset.group-project-table').append('Scroll Lock?<input type="checkbox" />');//Create a checkbox to activate the scroll-sync.
$('#locker input[type="checkbox"]').click(function(){//Get the parent of the checkbox and listen for clicks...
if($('#locker input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == 1){//Is the checkbox checked? If yes...
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function(){//Grab each TR...
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').scroll(function(){//Get the last TR in the bunch and listen for its scrolling event...
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:not(:last-child) td').scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());//Make the other TRs in the group scroll with this last TR in the group (aka "synced scrolling".)
return;//Not sure if this is necessary.
}else{//Try to reset the scrollers to return to separate scrolling (aka "un-synced scrolling".)
if($('#locker input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == 0){//If the checkbox is NOT checked...
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr td').scroll(0,0);//Return the scollbars to start. <-- This isn't working and I have no clue why. The scrollbars remain synced.
Sorry for the comments above but I included them because I thought it might help what's going through my mind with all of it.
The main problem: The scrollable TRs continue to be synced. When you scroll one, the others scroll with it, regardless of trying to break out of the syncing logic...
Any ideas why? I didn't include any markup here because I didn't think it would be needed, but let me know if it would help and I'll include some... The TRs I'm speaking of here are dynamically created with a "Add More" button on the interface, hence my use of the livequery plugin to check for new elements. Otherwise, everything is inside a "document.ready" block and the TRs have overflow-x in their CSS (this whole thing is meant for an Excel type of interface).
I'd start off by removing the if condition from the else section. You only get to the else section when the checkbox is not checked, so there's no point in complicating things even further with an additional if statement check.
Still not working. The IF condition is removed and here's where I am now:
$('fieldset.group-project-table').append('Scroll Lock?<input type="checkbox" />');
$('#locker input[type="checkbox"]').click(function(){
if($('#locker input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == 1){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').scroll(function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:not(:last-child) td').scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr td').scroll(0,0);
If the TRs are still synced even after unchecking that checkbox, then that says to me that something isn't being "heard" by the overall listener when that checkbox IS unchecked after having been checked--which originally causes the syncing to occur. So with this in mind, would this mean then that my placement of the checkbox logic needs to be placed in some sort of bind or other kind of listener versus what I'm using with this livequery stuff?
It seems that you need now to remove the scroll event from elements that you assigned them to.
Here is where they are assigned:
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function () {
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').scroll(function () {
When assigning an event handler, it's preferred now to use the on method.
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function () {
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').on('scroll', function () {
One of the benefits of using that, is that removing the event is achieved in a similar and consistant manner with the off method:
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function () {
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').off('scroll');
That's a good catch, Paul, but what if I'm using jQuery 1.3? Could ON() be traded for BIND()? And if so, how could one "un-bind()" a bind?
Ah geez, I just saw the "unbind()" function. Ha....long day. ;.)
So I'm using bind() and unbind() now... I think the code is working--just not like I think it should be. This code fires IF and ONLY IF the last TR's TD scrolls horizontally and is meant to make the other TRs' TDs sync with it's scrollLeft position. Unfortunately, what happens is that the other TR TDs just don't scroll. However, they do "lock in place" whereby I can still scroll with the last TR's TD...
SO, long story short, that last TR TD scrolls, but the others don't (when this code is fired). Otherwise, everything is working great. lol.
Any ideas what's causing this?
$('#locker input[type="checkbox"]').click(function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr').each(function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').bind('scroll', function(){
if($('#locker input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == 1){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').scroll(function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:not(:last-child) td').scrollLeft($('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').scrollLeft());<-- All TR TDs (Table TDs) *should* scroll with the last TR TD here.
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').unbind('scroll');<-- Everything goes back to normal.
With no HTML code on which to test your scripting code, we are still stumbling around in the dark.
I think that you may want to do something about that.
Yeah, sorry about that, Paul. I would've posted that but I figured I'd just fix it on my own--which I did!
Inside each TR resides TDs whereby only one of those accounts for the actual scrolling element... Duh. Something I probably would've caught if I had more rest. Anyway, here's everything I wound up with:
$('fieldset.group-project-table').append('Scroll Lock?<input type="checkbox" />');
$('#locker input[type="checkbox"]').bind('click', function(){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td').bind('scroll', function(){
if($('#locker input[type="checkbox"]:checked').length == 1){
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:not(:last-child) td+td').scrollLeft($('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td+td').scrollLeft());
$('#group_project_table_values tbody tr:last-child td+td').unbind('scroll');
Stupid me... I should've remembered what was actually scrolling in all this.


text: EnvironDesign Notebook: Building a Solid Foundation for Sustainable Design Economic recovery for the A&D industry will warrant a new approach—one that takes the everyday office project and connects it to a global economy. * required fields From* To* Message cancel The year 2009 is one that will live in infamy, as it surfaced baggage from previous years of excess and deregulation. As for 2010 (and the next decade), it will be easy to blame the economy for anything that goes awry—from business uncertainty to stringent budgets and a de-emphasis on sustainable projects. While there may be some cause for this, educating clients can help build a foundation for sustainable design among clients based in knowledge, and help them connect efficiency and better building practices directly to cost savings. Fortunately, more and more data is emerging to support this effort. The International Energy Agency (IEA) found that "on average, an additional $1 invested in more efficient electrical equipment and appliances avoids more than $2 in investment in power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure."1 We have witnessed local and nonprofit organizations such as the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) taking thoughtful and immediate actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prove the IEA's findings. Recently, the USGBC moved toward changing the LEED Rating System to a weighted scorecard that rewards measures taken proportionately so as to place emphasis on the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by assigning further points for energy efficiency. Globally, the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) met in late 2009 and adopted a new, controversial agreement: the Copenhagen Accord. This accord was drawn up by leaders representing the United States, China, India, Brazil and South Africa, and was formally accepted by COP 15. At a minimum, the accord endorses the continuation of the Kyoto Protocol. Additionally, it sets standards for mitigating global temperature increases to below 2° Celsius. To achieve this, agreements were made with a framework of sustainable development and a goal was set by the world to raise $100 billion per year by 2020 to help developing nations in carbon reduction.2 The movement and push for change is proving necessary. Four years after "An Inconvenient Truth," studies point more and more to a point of no return, as overall environmental statistics are not improving. In Al Gore's new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve Climate Crisis, he cites mounting evidence that is propelling action across all industries on global and local levels. "There is good news and bad news about CO2. If we stopped producing excess CO2 tomorrow, about half of the manmade CO2 would fall out of the atmosphere (to be half absorbed by the ocean and by plants and trees) within 30 years. Here is the bad news: the remainder would fall out much more slowly, and as much as 20 percent of what we put into the atmosphere this year, will remain there for 1,000 years from now. And we are putting 90 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every day. The only meaningful and effective solutions to the climate crisis involve massive changes in human behavior and thinking." Great opportunity exists in continuing the transformation in the role of both existing and future architects and designers to regard sustainable design as an essential built-in practice rather than as a special add-on or afterthought. The great architect, Eero Saarinen, once said "Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context—a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan."5 As the industry's awareness to global issues is heightened, there is evidence that these practices are becoming more commonplace. Along with this evolved delivery method, benchmarked studies and results will continue to rise in demand. Living in extraordinary times and climbing out of the recession will warrant a new approach that takes the everyday office project and connects it to a global economy. ECONOMIC FOUNDATION History is already finding names for the current economic challenges with one label becoming the most prominent: "The Great Recession." We all know that history repeats itself. Today, we can learn from the economic crises that preceded World War II. Resurgence in the older wisdom is beginning to help rebuild our current economy. Conservation is a transcendent concept that relates to adages like "waste not, want not" or "a penny saved is a penny earned" and provides a direct connection to the environment. We have learned that in many areas, recycling construction waste has become less expensive in comparison to dumping waste into a landfill and high tipping fees. As Americans scale back, burdens on landfills and public health are being eased as less waste is being disposed. As sustainable demands and systems evolve, so too must traditional economic models. One such example that aims to provide a new measure of wealth is "The Happy Planet Index [HPI] 2.0: Why Good Lives Don't Have to Cost the Earth." This index was expertly created by the new economics foundation (nef)—an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being, building on the principle of "economics as if people and the planet mattered." Contained in the body of the work, is a new ratio for sustainable development:3 Living Better = Long Healthy x Satisfied Lives Resources Consumed This economic model sews together three objectives to achieve such balance: To promote longer, happier lives To promote fulfilled and satisfied lives To reduce resource consumption So, what makes the HPI relevant to the day-to-day business of architecture and interior design? Demand for reusing building materials and modernizing existing buildings will continue to grow over demand for new construction as the world climbs out of the global recession. Architects and designers will continue to be challenged to do more with less. The executive summary of the HPI demonstrates a paradigm shift as a solution to current and future economic challenges being faced. "The results turn our idea of progress on its head. Whilst the HPI confirms that the countries where people enjoy the happiest and healthiest lives are mostly richer developed countries, it shows the unsustainable ecological price we pay. It also reveals some notable exceptions—less wealthy countries, with significantly smaller ecological footprints per head, having high levels of life expectancy and life satisfaction. In other words, it shows that a good life is possible without costing the Earth."3 Referencing a new holistic benchmark for economic measurement such as HPI provides a balanced look at what the future of a changing workspace looks like and how it will be created. Offering solutions to mitigate negative impacts on societies and upcoming generations can serve as a strong foundation that will make change a reality. SOCIAL FOUNDATION The impact of the environmental crises will disproportionately affect future generations in unimaginable ways. History will show that the decision-makers of today were able to take action to protect the world of tomorrow. The HPI supports this concern with a valid assessment: "Not since World War II has society globally been faced with so many threats. In the last few years, we have driven into the wall of the biggest economic downturn since The Great Depression of 1929, whilst mainstream culture has, at last, been rudely awoken to the ever growing threats of climate change and the exhaustion of our natural resources."3 The changing priorities, values and culture of young professionals entering the workplace is already impacting the way designers shape and build out workspaces. As commercial interior designers and architects program the workplaces of tomorrow, generational profiling will continue to gain momentum as an important factor in design. As baby boomers plan transition into retirement, Generation X (1965-1980) is beginning to take their place, with Generation Y (aka Millennials) entering the workforce. Numerous studies have been and continue to be conducted on the differences between age groups. The studies are fast becoming indispensable resources to workplace planning and design. One study in particular, "Gen Y's and the Workplace," points to some very clear findings that demonstrates sustainability is a high priority to Generation Y.4 "Sustainable—95 percent want an environmentally aware workplace, with 96 percent aspiring to work in a greener office."4 "Unconventional—20 percent would prefer taking public transportation, 18 percent walking."4 The study also found that along with these factors, "having a life-long learning experience—centered on quality of life—was an important component to a sense of balance, thus making economic models such as the HPI more relevant."3 A SUSTAINABLE PLAN Careful listening and thoughtful questions on the project needs, requirements, corporate brand, polices and challenges are critical in creating a sustainable design plan. Assembling a scouting party as early as possible in reviewing potential spaces and weighing cost benefit ratios is equally important. More often than not, professionals are faced with an existing tenant space within an older building that in most cases was not built around the context of sustainability. One way to approach and prepare a project is implementing a process that demonstrates the symbiotic nature of sustainable design elements while peering through the lens of the environment, economy and society. Charting a way forward that illustrates how objectives and tasks overlap can do much of the work in setting an integrated tone to the project. The heart of the diagram (above) serves as a touchstone to be used as a means of focus during the decision-making process. The outlying tasks, a brief overview of the design and construction process, cover a host of phases relative to most commercial interior projects. Running through a couple of categories using this system begins meaningful and important dialogue that asks thoughtful questions. Take the category "client: needs, goals, program" for example. How do environmental, economic and societal issues apply to the project? ENVIRONMENTAL: Does the client have a corporate social responsibility mandate? Are they actively engaged in a carbon reduction/measuring program? What type and size of space will they need based on current and future needs? How does location factor into sustainable design goals? What do the potentially selected building's age, energy efficiency and operations and maintenance look like? ECONOMIC: Can the client/tenant lease be structured in a manner that augments value to the client's internal mandates and goals such as a carbon reduction/measurement program? What are the potential budget ramifications in selecting a building whose age, energy efficiency and maintenance are issues? Time is money. What is the most cost-effective way to get the client's needs met while saving time and money? Will overtime or off-hours be required for construction for a particular building selection? How will that impact the bottom line? What types of municipal/federal incentives are available for a sustainable project based on one location vs. another? Besides green related assistance, is the potential building site located in a city that will give additional incentives to attract job creation? SOCIETAL: What are the generational demographics within the corporate structure that will occupy the space? Is the surrounding neighborhood developmentally dense? Is there access to cost-effective employee wellness amenities such as green space or bike trails? How long is the client looking to remain in the new space? Is it possible to sign a lease that is 10 years or longer to minimize churn on building stock? Is the client interested in promoting the sustainable features of the project externally as well as internally? Would the client like to share by offering educational tours or by offering ancillary spaces such as conferences and board rooms to support causes that relate to their corporate social responsibility mandates or initiatives? The same process can be replicated from start to completion to keep the overlapping and delicate nature of these types of projects in balance by starting to cross the chart. Additional questions to consider include: What if the client's needs, goals and program experience a delay (such as site selection) that would keep the project from being ready for months beyond the needed move in date? What are the budget and schedule ramifications? Is it worth it for the client to extend their current lease at a costly option if waiting means moving into a highly energy-efficient space that will easily recover that cost within months? Applying this method to a willing and communicative team can yield high success rates. LASTING VALUE Building a strong foundation that is forward thinking and balances environmental, economic, and societal goals serves as a strong model for new commercial architects and designers. Projects that mirror the process outlined and integrate communication and project management can be successful in executing a sustainable strategy without jeopardizing time and budget. A paradigm shift in the way spaces are programmed and designed taking into account environmental, economic and societal considerations will yield spaces that: have a lasting legacy that has the ability to impact every team member's base of knowledge and pay it forward; create low-impact spaces that are inspired and healthy to occupy, and that have low turnover rates, relieving pressure on resources; and offer an opportunity for businesses to act as good corporate citizens by sharing their successes, educating their peers, and attracting talent.

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer
Here's your chance to say you've been on a yacht.
Lady Alderbrook has opened its deck to the public two days a week for summertime cruises on Hood Canal.
The 54-foot yacht owned by Alderbrook Resort &Spa is usually reserved for private bookings, but you can hop aboard until Aug. 28.
The yacht is among the highlights the public can enjoy at the resort, which turns 100 years old this year. You don't have to stay overnight to hike, golf, dine and participate in activities at the 88-acre resort.
The special cruise offers scenic views of the Olympic Mountains and a colorful history of Hood Canal.
Boat captain Cindy Sund, director of marine services, leaves the driving to others so she can narrate the 90-minute afternoon cruise.
"It's an opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy the canal," Sund said. "I get a lot of people who are locals and they say, 'Wow, I never knew!' Just from the comments I get, they really enjoy it."
Sund has a personal connection to the canal.
"I tell interesting little stories. Some are word-of-mouth passed down. My family has been here prior to statehood," she said. "Mostly I talk about the canal and point out interesting things.
"I name the peaks if they're out."
Snacks, soft drinks, beer and wine are available for purchase on the boat.
Sund said the cruise is for all ages. A ramp leads to the boat. "It's an easy boat for people in walkers and wheelchairs," she said.
The yacht has seating for 90 people. Boarding starts at 1:30 p.m.
"We leave sharply at 2," Sund said,
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; firstname.lastname@example.com

WATCH: World Champ Solves Rubik's Cube in 7.36 Seconds
(NEWSER) – An Australian teenager is the new Rubik's Cube World Champion (yes, there is a Rubik's Cube World Championship), solving a 3x3 cube with an average of 8.18 seconds and a single fastest time of 7.36 seconds. That doesn't make him the fastest in the world—Dutchman Mats Valk holds the world record for the fastest single solve with 5.55 seconds. But Valk only managed an average time of 8.65 seconds this year, coming second to 17-year-old Feliks Zemdegs at the championship in Las Vegas, reportsSky News. In addition to the standard 3x3 competition, other events included solving the puzzle blindfolded, one-handed, and by foot.
