G9910, Reviewed January 1999
Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and even rats and mice make excellent pets if properly handled, fed and caged. They require little space and food and will become tame if handled gently. However, these pets require conscientious and continuing care if they are to remain healthy and active. This guide describes the more important aspects of small animal care.
Books and pamphlets on the care and raising of small pets are readily available in pet stores, libraries and from feed companies (Ralston-Purina, Carnation-Albers and the Missouri Farmers Association, for example). Most of these short and practical publications are either free or low cost and contain fairly complete information about raising rabbits and rodents.
While pet stores, meat outlets and research facilities do occasionally purchase rabbits or rodents from small suppliers, most animals sold in retail outlets or used in research come from large distributors or companies. No one should invest large sums of money in a breeding or commercial operation until a market has been determined and partially established.
The sale of rabbit meat or animals for research or pets may come under federal animal welfare or wholesale meat laws administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. Inquiries should be directed to the USDA. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Veterinary Services, 210 Walnut Street, Room 877, Des Moines, Iowa 50309.
Rabbits and small rodents housed in or around a home are not vaccinated routinely for any disease, including rabies. Rabies, although a dreaded and serious disease, is extremely rare in small pet animals, and almost all reported cases are discounted as concern following a bite.
A physician, however, should make the final decision on procedures following an animal bite. A veterinarian should be consulted about disease prevention or treatment of exotic pets.
Provide rabbits and small rodents with fresh, clean water from a sipper tube water bottle or a gravity-fed watering system. Bottles with sipper tubes can be purchased from pet or farm supply stores. Animals should be fed a fresh, wholesome, pelleted or seed combination feed specifically recommended for the species of pet involved.
Feeding the proper feed is important for rabbits and guinea pigs. Guinea pigs must have vitamin C in their diet, or they will die of scurvy within a few months. Although guinea pig feeds contain vitamin C, kale and cabbage have large quantities of this vitamin. Lettuce and carrots are not good sources.
Feeds for small rodents should contain no less than 16 percent crude protein (CP). Many pet feeds sold in pet shops are unacceptable because of low protein content.
Dietary supplementation with salt, fruit, table scraps or field crops is not recommended as a routine practice. Purchase a quality, pelleted feed and do not vary the diet. The feed should be supplied from hopper feeders attached to the side of the crate. The use of crocks or pans as feeders or watertroughs promotes the spread of disease.
Cages should be secure from escape and predators, provide protection from cold, wind, damp and direct sun and be easily cleaned. Of the small pets, only rabbits can be housed outdoors. Soft bedding, such as wood chips or paper, is needed for small rodents to hide and nest. Rabbits should be housed on wire floors. Wood is a poor material for animal houses because it is susceptible to chewing and rot. If wood is used, it should be painted and not used on cage floors.
Rabbits and guinea pigs should be lifted with two hands, one on the loose neck skin and the other under the heavy rear quarters. These animals, if improperly held, may struggle and break their backs. Small rodents can be picked up in cupped hand or by a grip over the back. If a rodent's tail is grasped beyond the point of attachment, the tail skin may slip off. Rodents do not grow new tails.
Hamsters are the most likely ofthe small pets to bite, but even they respond to gentle and frequent handling. Rabbits often scratch with their powerful rear limbs and may bite if startled or if they mistake your finger for food.
Gerbils, mice, rats and guinea pigs are mated by housing a male with one or more females together in a cage. Hamster and rabbit males and females often fight and should be paired only when mating is desired. Rabbits may be bred almost anytime, but hamsters will mate only during one evening every four days. Nests, mothers and young should not be disturbed for three days before and three days after birth, or the mother may become frightened and kill the young. Adult male animals should not be housed together because of fighting.
Table 1
Breeding data.
Because disease is difficult to treat in rabbits and rodents and is usually serious, take proper steps to prevent illness. Clean cages thoroughly every few weeks, especially when young or new arrivals are introduced. Water animals from sipper tubes and feed them from hoppers. Food should be fresh and suitable for the animal, and it should contain adequate protein. Always provide water. The suggestion that gerbils and hamsters don't need water is a myth.
A common cause of death in young rodents is their inability to reach or operate the watering device or to gnaw hard seeds or pellets. Diets should not be changed often or diarrhea may develop. Remember, small rodents age rapidly and may be "old" in one to three years. Proper diet and housing will prolong their lives.
Rabbits and rodents are susceptible to several diseases, and a good pet owner should be aware of changes in an animal's behavior or appearance. Pneumonia is common in rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. Diarrhea and skin diseases occur frequently in all species. A veterinarian should be consulted when disease problems arise.
Pet rabbits and rodents rarely have diseases transmissible to man. The usual precautions of avoiding bites and scratches and treating or isolating sick animals should be observed.
Rabbits and small rodents make good pets, but they must be properly fed, handled and housed. Cages should protect the animals and be easily cleaned. Experimenting with food "treats" and bargain diets is poor practice. Fighting among animals can be reduced by providing individual caging, ample space. hiding places and good feed and by disturbing the nest as little as possible.

|Commuter Rail train passing through Route-128
on its way to Boston
While on the cars, commuters must refrain from using cell phones, keep their conversations to a whisper, and may not blare music on their iPods.
Overall I think that this program is an awesome idea. I mean it's about time that the MBTA puts one of these programs into place. Amtrak has had quiet cars on every one of their lines, including Acela, for over ten years. Similar programs also exist on Chicago's Metra and the New Jersey Transit commuter rail system. My biggest concern with the program though, is where the quiet car is located. The MBTA quiet car on each commuter rail train will be the coach closest to the locomotive. Hmmm... that's interesting. For some reason I thought the MBTA's old diesel locomotives made tons of obnoxious noise. I know the coach does filter out quite a bit of noise, but still some of the old F40PH locos are just so load its unbearable. I feel that the quiet cars should be in the middle of the train (this is what Amtrak does).
|Quiet Car sign on Amtrak Northeast Regional
Overall I really hope this program becomes even more popular as the months and years go on and I hope that the T keeps thinking up more creative things to make the commuter rail a little more enjoyable...and on time!

It's cut wayyyy too big and too long. I was drowning in this top! I expected it to be more fitted just like the regular bebe sport sport tank.

DIY Idea: Turn Recycled Paint Brushes into Wall Decor
For those who love DIY and craft, that adoration often extends to the tools we use for our projects. Here, Kelly, architect and all around creative who pens the blog Halcyon Days, shows us how she found a way to turn vintage paint brushes into a charming piece of home decor.
Here is what you will need:
• Jute from your local hardware or art shop (the strongest you can find)
• Scissors
• Tape to tape of the widths of the stripes to paint the ends
• Your choice of acrylic paint
• Decorative screw and anchor
• Paint brush to paint your stripes
• Gold leaf ( For a project like this I think it's fine to use the fake stuff)
• Gold leaf glue
• Two brushes one for applying the gold leaf glue and one for applying the gold leaf
• Saw for cutting wood post to your specified size.
• Dremel for drilling holes in some of the paintbrushes to string them up
• Drill for anchor and screw and hanging the sculpture
For this project you can either use old paint brushes that you have, ones you find at stoop sales or do as Kelly did and search eBay. She favors vintage horsehair and boar bristle brushes that have some character in the form of well loved handles or cement and paint remnants of projects past.
She knew she wanted to display them but was not sure how to go about it until she sought the advice of her local building recycle center. "It took me forever to figure out how to display them until finally...I came across quite a few of these perfectly weathered and silvered wood posts."
With all the components in place, the next step was to position how she wanted her brushes to hang. From there she drilled holes in the wood post and looped the jute through, tying one end to the post and the other to the hole in the end of a brush.
To add a bright pop of color to the project, she picked several paint colors and even some gold leaf to make stripes at the end of the posts. She used tape to create straight lines to make it easier to get the stripes just right.
Finally, hang the finished piece in your home and enjoy!

Wabash Graduates Share with Top 10 Attendeesby Howard Hewitt • February 21, 2011 Share:
No one explains Wabash College like a Wabash man. Throughout the school year many Wabash alums return to campus during high school visitation days. A handful of recent alums took part in Monday's Top 10 Visitation Day.
The message for the high school senior men often plays around the same themes – the liberal arts, fraternity life, student-faculty relationships, and the all-male campus. But the stories and anecdotes change with every individual Wabash graduate.
The unscripted and unrehearsed panel discussions are one of the most valuable assessment tools for future students.
"I didn't know anything about the liberal arts when I stepped on this campus," Oscar Torres '01 said. Torres is now a school teacher and coach in Southern Texas. "I didn't know what to expect from college. I would have never stood before a group of people like this before I came to Wabash. Wabash gave me confidence. I was really green. Wabash really made me a better person."
The alums shared personal reflections to skills they developed during their Wabash years. "I have to be a good listener," said Ryan Smith'03, a producer for CBS News 48 Hours Mystery program. "I learned to listen at Wabash and to accept that I have a lot to learn.
"Wabash provided me with an opportunity to go anywhere and really thrive and to be able to listen and be open to new ideas."
All of the panelists repeatedly returned to the familiar refrain, 'Wabash teaches you how to think.'
Wes Zirkle '98 is an attorney for Just Marketing Inc. which does contractual work with sponsors for NASCAR and Formula One. He was a Religion major at Wabash. "I moved my way up where here. My goal was never to be the smartest guy in the room because I'm not the smartest guy in the room," he told the attentive young men. "I moved up because you always want to be the best person in the room."
Travis Merrill '98 (at left) was a high school athlete from Western Boone near Jamestown. He played basketball but struggled his first year at Wabash. "I always thought of learning as accumulating knowledge, but I learned how to learn here," he said.
Merrill credited Wabash with teaching him to write. He now works in development for Samsung and just took over the company's effort to move into the computer tablet business.
Ben Seib '02 was an Economics major who now works for the Cancer Treatment Center of America. He wasn't a Top 10 student when he came to Wabash "but they saw something in me." He credited the rigor of the Economics department for helping develop his ability to achieve success. He soon learned his liberal arts education proved the equal or superior to work colleagues from major state institutions.
Nearly 70 students participated in the winter Top 10 program. Students who rank in the top 10 percent of the class and participate in the visit day could earn the Top Ten Scholarship worth $15,000 a year ($60,000 over four years). For students in the top 5 percent, the amount jumps to $17,500 a year.

Unilateral hydronephrosis is swelling of one kidney due to a backup of urine.
Alternative Names
Hydronephrosis; Chronic hydronephrosis; Acute hydronephrosis; Urinary obstruction
Hydronephrosis (kidney swelling) occurs as the result of a disease. It is not a disease itself. Conditions that are often associated with unilateral hydronephrosis include:
Acute unilateral obstructive uropathy
- Blockage of a ureter due to scarring, tumor, urinary stones, or congenital abnormalities (present from birth)
- Chronic unilateral obstructive uropathy
Vesicoureteric reflux(backflow of urine from bladder to kidney) Nephrolithiasis(kidney stones)
- Hydronephrosis that occurs without a known cause during pregnancy
Unilateral hydronephrosis occurs in about 1 in 100 people.
Common symptoms include:
Flank pain Abdominal mass
- Nausea and vomiting
- Urinary tract infection
- Fever
- Painful urination (dysuria)
- Increased urinary frequency
- Increased urinary urgency
In some cases, there may be no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
The conditionis found on an imaging test such as:
Abdominal MRI CT scan of the kidneys or abdomen Intravenous pyelogram(IVP) Isotope renography(kidney scan) Ultrasound of the kidneysor abdomen
Treatment depends on the cause of the kidney swelling. Treatment may include:
- A ureteral stent (tube that allows the ureter to drain into the bladder)
- A nephrostomy tube (allows the blocked urine to drain out of the body into a drainage bag)
- Antibiotics for infections
People who have only one kidney, who have immune system disorders such as diabetes or HIV, or who have had a transplant will need prompt treatment.
People who have long-term hydronephrosis may need antibiotics to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Loss of kidney function may occur if the condition is left untreated.
Possible Complications
If hydronephrosis is left untreated, the affected kidney may be permanently damaged. Kidney failure is rare if the other kidney is working normally. However,
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have ongoing or severe flank pain, or fever, or if you think you may have hydronephrosis.
Prevention of the disorders that cause this condition will prevent it from occurring.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Jerry Horn, 540-220-009
Priests for Life National Director Fr. Frank Pavone today made a renewed and urgent call to Churches to conduct voter registration drives between now and Election Day. "This year's election promises to have unprecedented turnout," Fr. Pavone explained. "Rock concerts are registering new voters, night clubs are registering new voters -- what about Churches?" he asked.
Fr. Pavone also serves as President of the National Pro-life Religious Council (NPRC), a coalition of different denominations working to end abortion. Since early 2003, Priests for Life, in union with the NPRC and other groups, have called on Churches to register voters. "It's legal, it's simple, and it flows directly from our gospel duty to build a society of justice and life."
"We are not calling for a 'Priests for Life' voter registration drive or for an 'NPRC' voter registration drive," Fr. Pavone noted. "There is no such thing. We are calling instead for a voter registration drive of United States citizens, facilitated by Churches and other groups in the way they see fit. Let nobody use a particular group as an excuse to fail in their duty to help register voters. Moreover, everyone should keep in mind that there are laws against discouraging people to register. We will be alert to violations."
Deadlines for voter registration in each state can be found at www.priestsforlife.org/vote/deadlines.

BOGOTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Children rented out by criminal gangs to beg on the streets, indigenous women picking food crops under threat and intimidation, and people working in Colombia's silver and gold mines with little or no pay.
These are the increasingly common, and almost invisible, ways human trafficking is taking hold in Colombia, a problem the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) says is likely to get worse over the next few years.
"Colombians have tended only to associate human trafficking with sexual exploitation, but there are many other forms of human trafficking going on, including labour exploitation," said Carlos Medina, head of UNODC's justice and security section in Colombia, which works on human trafficking.
"In Colombia, I think we'll see in the next few years more evidence and cases of labour exploitation and forced labour – classic slavery," he told Thomson Reuters Foundation in a recent interview at the UNODC's office in Bogota.
Slavery, also known as forced labour, can involve debt bondage and any type of work or service, including sexual services, which a person is doing against their will and under threat.
Labour exploitation is also a major concern because it can often lead to slavery, such as when wages or identity documents are withheld and when restrictions are placed on a worker's freedom of movement, the International Labour Organization says.
Labour exploitation often takes place under the guise of legal and contractual work, but the working hours, conditions or pay previously agreed between a worker and employer are not honoured, according to the International Organization of Migration (IOM).
Medina said there were reports last year of indigenous groups being used as forced labour to pick harvests in the south of the country.
"I also expect to see more children begging, which includes a whole criminal structure behind of people who rent out children to beg on the streets and at traffic lights," he added.
Human trafficking inside Colombia is a problem that has only come under the radar of local police and judicial authorities in the past five years, Medina said.
Although Colombia has improved its record on people being trafficked out of Colombia – mainly women for sexual exploitation in Asia – it has been less effective in tackling human trafficking within its borders, he said. "This is because the main fight in Colombia for the past 30 years has been the fight against drugs and terrorism."
The demand for cheap manual labour in domestic and factory work and in the agriculture, construction, manufacturing and mining sectors, combined with a lack of job opportunities in rural areas, fuels labour trafficking in Colombia as it does worldwide.
There are growing concerns that Colombia's drug-running criminal groups, known locally as Bacrim, are involved in labour exploitation and forced labour in some gold and silver mining areas of the country, though their exact involvement is unclear.
"There's a link between Bacrim and labour exploitation taking place in illegal and legal mining areas. But this has yet to be proven. There are indications that in some of Colombia's mining areas, labour exploitation is taking place, and people are rented out to work in the mines," Medina said.
Labour trafficking is not only a rising trend in Colombia but across the world, IOM says.
Since 2010, labour trafficking has overtaken sexual exploitation as the main type of trafficking in cases assisted by the IOM, according to a 2012 report by the agency. Prosecutions for human trafficking remain low worldwide, in a global industry the U.N. estimates is worth $32 billion a year.
In Colombia, with a population of 47 million people, there are just two public prosecutors working on human trafficking cases in Colombia.
Last year, Colombia's interior ministry dealt with 62 cases of external human trafficking, while its intelligence police arrested 25 people in four operations against external human trafficking.
The involvement of big organised crime networks, such as Mexico's notorious Zetas drug cartel, in the trafficking of migrants from Central America is well documented.
But in Colombia, following the demise of Colombia's cocaine cartels in the mid-1990's, the criminal networks behind the business of human trafficking are fragmented, with diverse groups involved in the many links along the trafficking chain.
"The big drug trafficking structures aren't here in Colombia like (they) are in Mexico," Medina said.
"The criminal groups behind human trafficking in Colombia are atomised and not controlled by a super structure. Some are just dedicated to human trafficking, including sexual and labour exploitation, while others are also involved in drug trafficking.
"Some are just involved in recruiting people to be trafficked, others in transporting people and others in selling them on to third parties. Other groups are involved in all the stages. It's very specialised and dynamic," Medina said.
Mexico's drug-running networks began to diversify their business interests to include lucrative human trafficking networks from the late 1990's onwards.
It's uncertain whether that could happen in Colombia.
"Some people will tell you that Colombia's organised crime networks, like the Urabeños, could branch out and get more involved in human trafficking," Medina said.
"But for crime networks in Colombia, extortion and corruption involving state tenders and contracts are still more profitable."

History: First Intercollegiate Basketball Games at CIU
Columbia International University celebrated its 90th anniversary by making CIU history. For the first time, the CIU Rams entered intercollegiate men's and women's basketball with games against the Johnson University Royals of Knoxville, Tenn. on Nov. 2. The games capped off a 90th anniversary homecoming celebration at CIU.
The men won their inaugural game 113-97. The atmosphere was electric as fans packed the Moore Fitness Center to support the Rams.
Senior point guard and team captain Isaiah Reeves scored the first basket in program history, and went on to lead the team with 23 points and 9 assists.
Meanwhile, the women opened the double header with a loss to the Royals 67-40. Despite the defeat, women's coach Tammy Holder was upbeat.
"I am so proud of the effort and intensity of this team," Holder said. "It was an amazing atmosphere in which to play our first ever game and I believe our women gave it everything they had! It was a blessing for me to be a part of it all."
The women were led by freshman Abigail Siemens scoring 18 points and pulling down 13 rebounds.
For more photos from the basketball games, check out CIU's Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ciuimpact/sets/72157637344942216/.
CIU intercollegiate athletics began last fall with men's soccer and men's and women's cross country.

From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Domenico Montanaro
*** McCain's Bush problem: Yes, Jeremiah Wright could be a huge liability for Obama if he becomes the nominee. Sure, questions about Clinton's honesty and trustworthiness could also hurt her in a general election, as well as Bill Clinton's return to the White House. But according to the latest NBC/WSJ poll, the biggest political albatross heading into November is -- drum roll, please -- George Bush. In the poll, 43% say McCain being too closely aligned to Bush and his policies is a major concern. That's compared with 36% who say that about Clinton's apparent flip-flops; 34% who say that about Obama's bitter-guns-religion remark; 32% who say that about Wright and Bill Ayers; 31% who say that about Clinton's honesty and trustworthiness; 27% who say that about Bill Clinton having too much influence on policy decisions; 17% who say that about Obama not being patriotic enough; and 16% who believe McCain might be too old. When you add that Bush problem to other macro-political trends -- just 27% approve of Bush's job (his lowest mark ever in the survey), just 15% think the country is on the right track, 81% believe the country is in a recession -- that's quite a head wind McCain and the Republicans are facing. So while the political world might beat the Wright issue to death or parse every little thing Bill says, let's not forget overall dynamics of this presidential election.
VIDEO: NBC Political Director Chuck Todd offers his first read on the turnaround in the latest NBC/WSJ poll.
*** Maverick or Bush ally? Of course, the above concern about Bush raises this question: Just how closely aligned is McCain to Bush? Well, the Arizona senator certainly has broken with Bush and the GOP on several issues: campaign finance reform (although Bush did sign that into law), judges (the Gang of 14), and torture. And those breaks certainly appear to help him among independents (see below). But some took place a while ago. What's more, on the biggest issues out there -- Iraq, health care, economic policy (especially taxes) -- there is very little room between McCain and the president. McCain has spent the past several weeks since locking up the GOP nomination by solidifying his base, unveiling policy proposals, and raising money. But does he now begin breaking more with Bush? He started last week, when he disagreed with Bush's handling of Katrina. What comes next?
*** It's the values, stupid…: While the overall political environment is tough for the GOP, McCain is running neck-and-neck with his Democratic rivals. In the NBC/WSJ survey, Obama leads the Arizona senator by three points (46%-43%) and Clinton is ahead of him by one (45%-44%). What's going on here? Besides McCain's appeal among independents, NBC/WSJ co-pollster Peter Hart (D) offers this explanation: values. "What is driving his image … is values," he says. "It is faith, honor, country, and patriotism." Indeed, 54% of respondents say that they identify with McCain's background and set of values, compared with 46% of who say that of Clinton and 45% who say that of Obama, (which is a drop from the 50% who said this of the Illinois senator in late March). So ironically, if McCain ends up winning in November, it won't be because of national security or Iraq; it will be because of values.
*** A house divided: Another thing that seems to be helping McCain is the ongoing contentious Democratic primary. In the poll, only 25% of Clinton voters say they would vote for Obama in the general with enthusiasm, with 30% saying they would NOT vote Obama. Similarly, just 26% of Obama voters say they would vote for Clinton enthusiastically in the general, with 22% saying they would NOT vote for Clinton. Moreover, nearly four in 10 Obama voters say they don't identify with Clinton's background and values, while almost five in 10 Clinton voters say the same about Obama. "The longer this contest is going on … the more they are beginning to dislike their opponent," explains NBC/WSJ co-pollster Neil Newhouse (R). "It is extremely difficult for Republicans… But it's being balanced by the fault lines [within] the Democratic Party." The good news for the Democrats is that Obama's or Clinton's numbers will go up if they can bring their rival's voters back in the fold. But is that an "if" or a "when"?
*** Has Obama become Clinton? What's also interesting in the poll is that Obama's support among independents isn't too far off from Clinton's. In an Obama-McCain match-up, McCain leads Obama among indies by 11 points (46%-35%), while his lead over Clinton is 14 points (46%-32%). Obama leads Clinton by three points (46%-43%) in the NBC/WSJ poll. But six to seven weeks of Wright and "bitter" have taken a toll on his standing with independents. The electability argument Obama used so well with superdelegates over the last few months is not backed up by facts anymore. The only thing Obama has going for him is his Dem opponent, who has similar image problems. The poll was conducted of 1,006 registered voters from April 25-28 -- as the Wright controversy resurfaced but BEFORE Obama's speech denouncing his former pastor -- and it has an overall 3.1% margin of error.
*** Super switcheroo: A former Clinton-appointed DNC chairman, and early endorser of Hillary Clinton, has switched to Obama. Indianapolis native Joe Andrew told the AP, "I am convinced that the primary process has devolved to the point that it's now bad for the Democratic Party." He said he is switching, then, because "a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue this process, and a vote to continue this process is a vote that assists (Republican) John McCain." Andrew and the Obama camp will make it official at a 10:00 am Indianapolis news conference. This brings Obama the closest he's ever been to Clinton in the superdelegate total. SUPERDELEGATES: Clinton 267-Obama 248 (280 undeclared). Obama has an 11-5 superdelegate advantage since the Pennsylvania primary. And since Clinton's victories in Ohio and Texas, Obama has picked up 35 supers to Clinton's 14; PLEDGED: Obama 1,490-1,334; OVERALL: 1,738-1,601.
*** Just asking: But when is Clinton going to talk an Obama superdelegate into switching? Do they have a few in their pocket for May 7 if they somehow sweep Tuesday's contests? For now, it seems it's Obama who continues to have more lure to superdelegates and continues to find the occasional Clinton switcher. The addition of Andrew to Obama's fold is a big deal because of his title and because of the fact Bill Clinton appointed him to the job in the '90s. But it's what Andrew said that could have resonance: "I am convinced that the primary process has devolved to the point that it's now bad for the Democratic Party." Does Andrew become a Clinton superdelegate whip at this point?
*** Expectations setting: A new Mason-Dixon poll in North Carolina shows that the constant barrage of bad news for Obama over this last week has taken a toll. The new poll has Obama's once insurmountable lead in the Tar Heel state looking, well, surmountable. He leads by just seven points, 49%-42%. Whispers out of Indiana indicate Clinton's on the move in some private polls and might even have the lead in the Hoosier State. So if Clinton takes this momentum and closes like she has in the last few primaries, the Democrats could have some mess on their hands on May 7. The New York Times has a piece today that claims she needs a big win in Indiana, not just a narrow one. We'll see if that's a fair expectations bar, but one thing's for sure: It does seem as if the expectations game is playing in Obama's favor despite the bad climate for him right now.
*** On the trail: Clinton campaigns in Indiana, making stops in Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, and Terre Haute; McCain already appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe from Cleveland, OH, where he holds a town hall, and then -- in a blast from the past -- heads to Des Moines, IA; and Obama, like Clinton, is in Indiana, stumping in Columbia City, Middlebury, and Lakeport. And in the spouse watch, Michelle Obama is in Indiana and Bill Clinton is in West Virginia and Indiana.

Friday, May 06, 2011 - Suit Shoot - Igor Premsyl a Pavol Zbynek
Suit Shoot Igor and Pavol
Igor Premsyl and Pavol Zbynet feature in the great Suit Shoot. Igor is a realtor and Pavol arrives to enquire about properties. As they chat about the properties Igor turns to the computer to show some and indavertantly opens a pic he has been viewing, which is of two guys having fun. This sparks some interest in Pavol who unzips his pants and invites Igor to savor his meat.
... more about Suit Shoot Igor and Pavol further in this newsletter
Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Pavol Zbynek and Ivan Cakovsky give us a wonderful Raunchy Sex Duo. Both guys are great performers so it is no surprise how good this scene is. Ivan takes the bottom role in this one, which starts with him under the influence of rather too much vodka. Pavol takes advantage of the situation and induces Ivan to suck his dick. Then he ties his hands above his head so he is almost hanging from the ceiling before stripping Ivan and sucking his dick too. Then to make the advantage complete he proceeds to throw him a very good fuck. It is great to see two guys who really know how to do it, and who do it so well. At the end of the scene there is also a short interview with the guys.

William Higgins Newsletter Text
I am kind of struggling with today's Newsletter. Our Production and Back Office Manager held my hand for the other two Newsletters I've prepared with the new format. Yesterday, he left for a well deserved two weeks vacation in China. Consequently, I'm floundering by myself today. I'm sure I'll manage to publish something. It's a good idea to listen to my Vlog commentary. He showed me how to edit text, but I'm afraid to attempt doing so without him here to un-screw all of my screw-ups. So my last minute comments will only be available in the video Vlog.
Weather has turned nice again in Prague. Hopefully, it will stay this way for a few days. I'll edit some videos for the Blog and publish them over the weekend, because I no longer have to worry about weekend Newsletter deadlines.

Gun Show Madness
Just a little taste of what I experienced in my towns local gun show. Lines, more people than I've ever seen, unbelievably high prices on guns, mags, etc. What are your guys thoughts? You think this will stay the same, get worse or get better?

It will stay this way until the threat of legislation/confiscation goes away. If any of that legislation gets passed, it will only get worse

It's great for the economy that folks are buying everything they can get their hands on. However I think they are going to regret paying 3 times the price of a (whichever) gun once no significant gun control doesn't go into effect.
This is just my opinion but I don't believe that anything even remotely close to a "HUGE GUN BAN" is in the cards for us in the foreseeable future. Maybe the 100 round clips will be controlled or banned but aside from that I don't think anything approaching these peoples greatest fears is going to happen.
Thanks for the video, that's an eye opener for me. WOW.
I didn't know you could bend it like that?

Relatively speaking, seems like there is hardly anybody at your show.
The local show here in early December was difficult to walk through, aisles were two people deep on each side, maybe a slightly larger hall.
I came back to sport shooting three months(and four years) too late.
Sure hope the anti-nutz don't get their way. The "poll-tax" on the sport may well have me restricted to 22lr. Maybe regress back to slingshots so they will concentrate on passing laws against marble-to-egg sized rocks.

Fairgrounds gun show....
The big gun show at the fairgrounds had record size crowds last weekend. I did not go but I've to 2 or 3 at the same place in the 2000s.
The venue is huge so SRO crowds is a sure sign of the gun buying madness.
I'd venture a guess & say about 30-40% of the crowd was new gun owners, entry level shooters or 2A/right-wing/political types who want a firearm before a mandated gun ban or new law.
The gun show crowd there is not really my scene. A lot of mall ninja crap, IL Nazis, dank tables, and odors of BO & Chinese food.
The weapons & firearms are marked-up and the booths are staffed with young sales clerks who can't understand the difference between nickel & stainless steel.
Or they say; "I don't like DA only pistols cause you can't cock it."
No $#*+.

I've reduced my trips to gun shows by about 80% since 2000: Better deals are generally online or at a local gun shop.
Unless there is something I know that is going to be there that I can't find elsewhere, the crowds, ridiculous parking and entry prices are a pretty good deterrent to me.

That venue looked nearly empty compared to the last show I was at. It was uncomfortable to just try and walk around in, let alone trying to get close enough to a table to actually look at something. It was difficult to locate the jerky, also.

You really just have to be smart and patient when you go. For example, I picked up a used Glock19 for $360 and AR mags new for $25. They are there, you just have to look...
It will probably get worse before it gets better.

Ryan is considering the sexualization of the female body in geek art, and like all of us people with Y chromosomes, my first thought was, "But what about the meeeeeennnnzzz?" (if you're reading this aloud, as I'm sure you do, be sure to put a good nasal whine into the phrase). Fortunately, my question has been answered, because Jim Hines and John Scalzi are using SF book covers as guides for posing sexily.
You might not want to click on that link if you're the sensitive sort.
Scalzi is always willing to indulge in these kinds of stunts, and I'm thinking that a truly malicious sort of person could send him SF and comic book covers that would land him in the hospital with severe spinal injuries and broken ribs and shattered legs. Because, you see, this is what happens to us poor, weak, pitiful men when we try to keep up with those infinitely flexible creatures made out of rubber bands and balloons called "women".

Entirely possible, Craig. They've got an angle, so EVERYONE has an angle ... or a dodge ... or a scam. What is astonishing is to get away from the angles and the BS and the gamesmanship and simply deal with the FACTS. It's liberating and refreshing as hell, yet there are a lot of people out there who simply can't see it.
Somewhat tangential to your point, Robert J. Lifton characterized the attributes of thought control or brainwashing in a way that seems to me to apply to religious cults as well as totalist political regimes. His whole scheme is too long to give here, but one point is well worth quoting:
The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. These become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.
For example, Elton Trueblood, the Quaker theologian, said, "Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation." This sounds very good—Christianity is not asking you to believe anything without proof— until you apply it to a specific question such as the virgin birth or resurrection of Christ.
The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché.
I used to go to 12-step meetings for abuse survivors. There was a great deal of good in them - people sharing experiences with other people, no longer feeling alone in their perceptions, not feeling like a "weirdo", telling truths that were unacceptable elsewhere.
But I also felt oppressed by the tyranny of 12-step cliches like "doing a geographic". I wanted to relocate but "doing a geographic" suggested that any move would be the result of false consciousness, the wrong kind of change.
I was told that recovering alcoholics really needed those cliches - that it helped (some) people struggling with an addiction to go jingoistic for awhile, it helped them get through it to adopt a sort of religion, "fake it till you make it". I can believe this.
One of those sayings that I like is "don't get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired".
It's quite possible that addicts after reaching the end of the rope might benefit from "thought-terminating cliché's," but the totalist environment is aimed at a whole group with the intention, not of helping them overcome a deficit, but of recruiting them into a cult and seducing them into voluntarily surrendering their freedom of thought and action to the cause, which is always viewed as more important than the welfare of its members. That's the difference—placing the cause ahead of the individual.
The 12-step programs aim to create a benign version of totalism and the cult environment. They have rules that show insight about the hazards, like the rule of anonymity, avoiding permanent leaders, not requiring money from people.
Probably a lot of people who go for those "thought-terminating cliches" are emotionally distressed. Lots of alcoholics and drug addicts have pulled themselves out by becoming Christian - only that is more of a cognitive trap, than the relatively benign Higher Power, work-the-12-steps model.
The leader of a cult, the guru, is also trying to fulfill their emotional needs, for love and positive regard and avoiding the conflicts that are part of most people's everyday lives. They believe the "thought-terminating cliches" to some extent although they may engage in conscious deception at the same time.
Erudite point, dear sir, @ Dr. Clark. To Laura's last comment, it seems that quite a few folks in our culture have the "snippet" syndrome, and I feel it is due to our immediate satisfaction culture. Everything is at ones fingertips, so why not a life-long healing process like addiction recovery? Sad commentary on our culture. I was in India back in 2000 and again in 2007, and now in Kolkata, even the homeless have cell phones, just like here. I'm feeling ill.....
I wonder, if someone told her that they once had a heterosexual marriage, but now are in a homosexual relationship, would she respond by saying "You were never REALLY straight in the first place"?

and on and on.
jealous bigots!
i think they realize but can't let that net go.. they really believe in hell on earth. yet that's only when there's no ground education. hence.. xyz. islands of isolation and fat asses with no skills

like WWII never happened!?
When I was a Christian I was taught that when 2 or more are gathered together in Jesus' name, there he is in the midst of them. When I was a child this person was Casper, the friendly ghost.
Christians are on a mission in life. Those who get the most converts get special privileges and discounts, and might get a lifetime achievement award from God himself. Even if they lied to "save souls" God will overlook it. We are to eventually populate all the other planets with "spirit people" but in the meantime we can sing songs forever and have a big volleyball game in the sky. Maybe we can play against the Muslims. In the meantime, God needs more piano players.
If the earth is round and heaven is up, then I want to know which way is up? Boy, I'm really confused now!
@Dennis Pennington, you missed that left turn at Albuquerque!!! :)

All the cards seem lined up in the Southeast for plenty of early wheat and perhaps a record number of double-crop soybean acres in the region.
How many acres of wheat were planted in the Southeast last fall and how many acres of double-crop soybeans will go in the spring and summer is directly related to how many acres of corn were planted early or on time and harvested early or on time last year.
Most growers in the Upper Southeast had a good year with corn. They planted on time and generally got their crop harvested early.
In the Carolinas and Virginia, it was clear by September that the potential for a big wheat crop was there. In North Carolina, for example, the 2012-13 wheat crop could come close to a million acres, according to veteran crop watcher and Executive Director of the North Carolina Small Grains Association, Dan Weathington.
Randy Weisz in North Carolina, Wade Thomason in Virginia and David Gunter in South Carolina have done an outstanding job of stressing to growers the many benefits of planting wheat on time, but not too early in the Southeast, and it appears a majority of growers did just that.
While many growers could have planted wheat in time for an early spring harvest, the risks are too great.
When wheat is planted early in the Upper Southeast, historically, it has been a great risk from frost and freeze damage during the time the crop is in its most vulnerable growth stage for winter damage.
So far, winter weather in the region has been near ideal for early wheat growth, which, if Mother Nature comes through, should mean a timely wheat harvest this spring.
Perhaps more importantly, nothing on the global horizon indicates markets will be anything other than good for corn, wheat and soybeans. If prices remain stable, a wheat-soybean double-crop will have the potential to rival corn for profitability.
Factored into the equation is the dogged determination of the livestock industry in the region to help growers produce more grain for livestock feed. Demand is never a bad thing when it comes to off-setting the risks involved with growing any crop.
With those cards on the table, it appears things are set for a record or near record double-crop with wheat and soybeans.
Nothing growers can do
There's nothing growers can do at this point about the corn part of the equation, but getting the most yield and most profit out of their double-crop beans is going to be directly related to how well they manage their wheat crop.
Most of the fertilization strategy has already been carried out on wheat, but there is an important spring application that growers shouldn't miss, according Randy Weisz, small grains specialist at North Carolina State University.
Nitrogen management is one of the most important keys to successful small grain production. It is also one of the easiest management strategies to misuse, resulting in yield reductions and environmental damage.
"To achieve optimum yields, follow the correct nitrogen guidelines for applications in the fall, winter, late January to early February, and at Growth Stage 30, which usually occurs in March in the Upper Southeast," Weisz says.
"If at the end of January or in the first week of February, wheat looks thick and green, it is likely well on its way to producing a high yielding crop.
"Wheat in this category should have about 100 well-developed tillers per square foot and should not have any nitrogen applied until Growth Stage 30, again sometime in March," he adds.
Getting wheat planted on time and keeping it growing and healthy until springtime is an ongoing challenge.
Last year's record warm winter created myriad problems for wheat and set the crop up for some significant yield losses from two freezes that hit the area in April.
The warm winter weather was also one of the reasons for outbreaks of wheat diseases, some of which don't usually occur in the region. In general, the formula for high yields on wheat in the Southeast is: Resistance plus fungicides equals yield.
Finding the right balance between planting a wheat variety with resistance to multiple diseases and one with highest yield potential is an ongoing challenge.
The best balance between the two is fungicides. The use of these materials in wheat has grown exponentially with the rising value of the crop.
The first key to maximizing fungicide efficacy and value on wheat is to know the diseases that commonly infect the crop.
Growers have three basic options of fungicides: triazoles, strobilurins and a combination of the two. Some work on some diseases and not on others and some are simply not labeled for all the diseases that annually plague wheat in the Upper Southeast.
Head scab, or more technically correct, fusarium head blight, can be one of the most devastating diseases of wheat.
Loss of test weight
Loss of test weights are a problem for millers and contamination of the grain reduces yield, producing a double loss for growers.
It is critical to know that of the three fungicide family options, only triazole fungicides are effective and labeled for use on fusarium head blight in wheat.
Several strains of rust and powdery mildew are also frequent problems for growers, and they require different fungicides or combinations of fungicides from one disease to another.
The key is to know which disease is causing the problem, or most likely to cause the problem, and to use the optimum fungicide available.
Even knowing wheat diseases doesn't always provide a clear cut choice for fungicides.
If leaf rust and scab occur, it's likely to come down to which is worse and how the weather will increase or decrease the chances the disease will be severe enough to cause yield loss, because the best fungicide for each disease is different.
If powdery mildew is the primary disease threat, Weisz says the options are little more clear. Fungicides should be applied when powdery mildew covers 5 percent of the upper leaves and leaf rust covers 1 percent.
The North Carolina State specialist says growers should consult one of several websites with information on disease management to choose the fungicide best suited to their particular combination of disease pressure.
In tests in North Carolina last year, Weisz found that timing preventative fungicides is critical to success.
In general, in fields with high disease pressure, Twinline or Quilt applied at top-dress time were not much better than the yields from check plots.
On the other hand, if either of these materials was applied at the flag leaf stage, both produced nearly 20 bushels per acre higher than the check plots.
In areas with low disease pressure the same results were evident, but the yield gains were significantly less.
Getting the wheat crop up and healthy in the spring will give growers the best opportunity to get the crop out in a timely matter, make the best possible profit, and allow them time to get the land ready for soybean planting.
Yield losses from delaying planting date of soybeans is well documented in the Southeast.
However, Virginia Tech Soybean Specialist David Holshouser says in some cases last year, he saw better yields on later planted beans, because the late summer weather pattern was more conducive for flowering and seed development.
Getting it all right could mean a winning hand for Southeast growers.

Arlington Park Barn Notes: May 6, 2009
Midnight Cry Stable's Einstein established himself as the early favorite for this summer's 27th running of the Grade I Arlington Million – to be contested Aug. 8 – by driving to a hard-earned score in last weekend's Grade I Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day.
Perhaps fittingly, Einstein's margin of margin of victory was by a head in last Saturday's event over the Louisville lawn. The Woodford Reserve, run at nine furlongs, annually serves as the first step on the road to the 10-furlong Arlington Million – always the showcase race of the Chicago Thoroughbred racing season.
Columbine Stable's Manndar in 2002 and Juddmonte Farms' Cacique in 2006 won the Woodford Reserve in the spring and were both runner-ups in the Arlington Million later those summers.
Einstein, a Brazilian-bred who won last year's Woodford Reserve, became the first horse to score repeat victories in Churchill's Kentucky Derby Day Million prep May 2. A year ago, following the 2008 Woodford Reserve, he went on to finish second behind Curlin in Churchill's Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap in June, second behind Thorn Song in Churchill's Grade II Firecracker Handicap in July and then was fifth in the Arlington Million last August, three lengths behind the victorious French-bred Spirit One, owned by Kamel Chehboub.
The first four finishers in last weekend's Woodford Reserve are all among the original nominees to the 2009 Arlington Million. Respectively, they include runner-up Cowboy Cal, owned by Bob and Janice McNair; third-place finisher Court Vision, owned by WinStar Farm; and fourth-place runner Zambezi Sun, owned by Juddmonte Farms.
Joann Louise and Glenda Evans' Proudinsky and James Spence's El Caballo, sixth and seventh respectively in the Woodford Reserve last weekend but first and second in that same order in Fair Grounds' Grade II Mervin Muniz Memorial March 14 in New Orleans, are also original nominees to Arlington Million XXVII.
Kim and John Glenney's Orthodox, an early nominee to Arlington Park's Mid-America Triple this season, proved most prognosticators wrong with an unorthodox half-length win in last Friday's Grade III American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Oaks Day.
Orthodox, a homebred son of Pulpit out of the Strawberry Road mare Dominique's Joy, surprised the punters with a $93.20 straight mutuel.
Walts David Stable's Turfiste and Zayat Stables' Bruce N Autumn, third and fourth respectively in the American Turf, are also early nominations to the 2009 Triple.
The Mid-America Triple, like the American Turf Stakes, is restricted to 3-year-olds and is scheduled to be run over Arlington's world-famous turf course.
Arlington's traditional turf series begins with the 75th anniversary edition of the Arlington Classic May 23, continues with the Grade II American Derby July 11, and concludes with the Grade I Secretariat Stakes on Arlington Million Day Aug. 8.
Michael Cooper and Pamela Ziebarth's Tizdejavu, who led every step of the way in the 2008 American Turf Stakes at the Twin Spires oval, used those same front-running tactics to win last summer's American Derby at Arlington and then finished third in the 2008 Secretariat.
This summer's Mid-America Triple is enhanced by a $500,000 bonus to be awarded to the owners of a horse that sweeps all three legs of the Triple.
Traditionally one of the biggest days of the year at Arlington Park, Mother's Day attracts enthusiastic crowds to enjoy a great day of live racing and family entertainment that this Sunday will include pony rides and a petting zoo for Arlington's youngest fans.
However, Arlington guests planning to attend this Sunday's celebratory racing day may enjoy significant savings by making their reservations online in advance of the big day.
Admission at the gate for Sunday's Mother's Day Arlington program is $10 per person, but by ordering tickets online in advance of Sunday's gala afternoon, tickets are priced at $7.

Despite speculation that wide receiver Miles Austin's contract may be too expensive for Dallas to keep him, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says Austin will stay with his team.
"I think Miles is certainly very much in our plans," Jones said.
Jones also allowed, however, that Austin might be asked to take a pay cut. Austin has a base salary of $6.73 million and a cap number of $8.32 million this year, and the Cowboys aren't in great cap shape.
Austin signed a six-year, $54 million extension at the start of the 2010 season, when he was coming off a breakout year in which he had 81 catches for 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns. But Austin hasn't reached any of those statistical milestones in any season since then, and it now looks like Jones was too generous when he inked Austin to that contract.
The question, then, is what happens if Austin refuses to take a pay cut. Given his contract and the Cowboys' need for cap space, it's possible that he won't be in the Cowboys' plans much longer.

House Bill 923, introduced in the Alabama House of Representatives by David Grimes (R-District 73) on April 24, 2008, and referred to the Education Policy Committee, is the latest in a string of "academic freedom" bills aimed at undermining the teaching of evolution.
Senate Bill 733 (PDF), the so-called Louisiana Science Education Act, was unanimously passed by the Louisiana Senate on April 28, 2008.
With drastically different House and Senate versions of what was once the same antievolution bill in the Florida state legislature, it remains uncertain whether antievolution forces will be able to devise a compromise bill to be sent to the governor before the legislature adjourns on May 2, 2008 -- especially with a host of other issues crowding the legislative calendar.
At its April 24, 2008, meeting, the Texas Higher Education Coordination Board unanimously voted to deny the Institute for Creation Research's request for a state certificate of authority to offer a master's degree in science education through its graduate school, recently relocated to Texas, as the Houston Chronicle (April 24, 2008) reported [Link broken].

GENEVA (AP) - Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, a wealthy philanthropist who held a string of top United Nations humanitarian posts and was the uncle of the spiritual leader of Ismaili Muslims, has died, associates said Tuesday. He was 70.
Sadruddin died Monday in Massachusetts General hospital in Boston, said Nasir Sunderji, an official of the Geneva-based Bellerive Foundation, an environmental organization founded by Sadruddin. There were no immediate details on the cause of death.
Sadruddin started his long career with the UN as an adviser to UNESCO for Afro-Asian projects. He was both the youngest and longest-serving UN High Commissioner for Refugees, taking over the post in 1965 at the age of just 33 and remaining in office for 12 years.
"All in UNHCR and the humanitarian community are deeply saddened by the passing away of Sadruddin Aga Khan," said Ruud Lubbers, the current chief of the agency. "He left an indelible print on UNHCR history, leading the agency through some of the most challenging moments."
Sadruddin spearheaded UN efforts to cope with 10 million refugees from the breakup of Pakistan and creation of Bangladesh in 1971. He helped find homes for tens of thousands of Vietnamese who fled their communist homeland by in the mid 1970s, and for Asians kicked out of Uganda by former dictator Idi Amin.
Lubbers - who found out about the death while on a tour of West Africa - said Sadruddin's name was "synonymous with UNHCR."
After stepping down as refugee chief in 1977, Sadruddin held a series of other senior UN roles, including co-ordinator for the UN humanitarian assistance programs for Afghanistan from 1988-1990 and special UN representative for humanitarian assistance for Iraq and Kuwait after the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991. He was once mentioned as a possible UN secretary general.
One of his mottos was to keep a "cool head and warm heart without getting cold feet."
After he stood down from UN duties, he became increasingly involved in environmental protection of the Alps and rare Alpine birds. He was decorated with a long list of international awards, including the French Legion of Honour.
Sadruddin was born in Paris in January 1933 into a world of fabulous wealth as the son of Sultan Mohammed Shah, Aga Khan III - spiritual leader of the the Ismaili Muslims.
He held French, Iranian and Swiss passports and was educated at Harvard University - allowing him to proclaim himself a "citizen of the world."
But despite the luxury associated with his famous family, he also maintained that his lack of roots helped him to empathize with the plight of the displaced.
"If you cannot help the poor, you cannot save the rich," he once said.
Sadruddin was married for five years to a model, Nina Dyer, and their divorce in 1962 hit the headlines. But he quickly shed the playboy image and, on the whole, managed to avoid the gossip that dogged many members of the dynasty.
He shunned the racehorses, fast cars and diamonds favoured by his half-brother Aly, who was briefly married to the actress Rita Hayworth and who was the father of Karim - the Aga Khan IV.
Sadruddin once famously said that he disliked horse-racing, and he listed his hobbies as sailing, skiing, hiking and flying kites.
Urbane and eloquent, he and his Greek-born second wife, Catherine Sursock, were familiar but discrete figures on the Geneva social scene. He was passionate about Islamic art and archeology, as well as about bridging the understanding between different cultures.
"I was brought up in the Muslim religion," he told London's Daily Telegraph in a 1998 interview. "My father insisted that I learn the Qur'an and encouraged me to understand the basic traditions and beliefs of Islam but without imposing any particular views. He was an overwhelming personality but open-minded and liberal."
At his elegant Chateau de Bellerive on the shores of Lake Geneva, Sadruddin amassed a huge collection of priceless paintings, drawings and manuscripts from Turkey, Iran and India, dating from the 14th century.
"Fate uprooted my family from Iran over 130 years, ago," he said in the interview. "I liked the idea of trying to getting some things back and taking care of them."

The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., spurred tenant interest in security, data and back-up needs. Following this trend, New Mountain Development Corp. has completed a total systems upgrade at Mountain Technology Center in Clifton, N.J. With the renovation, the 211,000 sq. ft. building is able to accommodate security-conscious users whose business functions require heavy voice and data usage. Joseph Sarno, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield of New Jersey Inc., has been appointed the exclusive leasing agent for the property.
Located on six acres at 100 Delawanna Avenue near the New Jersey Turnpike, the center provides a clear line of site for microwave transmissions to Manhattan, as well as Jersey City and Newark. Verizon provides the building's fiber optic system. The 7-story center also has heavy floor-load capacity, designated space for backup generators, fuel supply and air coolers, and a secure building and grounds.

Gun-Crazed Wingnuts File New Petition: Prosecute Sen. Feinstein for "Treason to the Constitution"
Following up on yesterday's story about the crazed wingnut reactions to Sen. Dianne Feinstein's proposed assault weapons ban, today we discover a new petition at the White House website: Try Senator Dianne Feinstein in a Federal Court for Treason to the Constitution.
The Constitution was written to restrain the government. No amendment is more important for this purpose than the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment was written so the power could be kept with the citizenry in the face of a tyrannical government. It was well understood the Constitution acknowledged certain rights that could not be limited by government.
Senator Dianne Feinstein has made it clear she does not believe in the Constitution or the inalienable rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. She is actively working to destroy the 2nd amendment with her 2013 assault weapons ban. For this reason we the people of the united States petition for her to be tried in Federal Court for treason to the Constitution.
Oh, for Pete's sake. This petition page at the White House website just gets more and more ridiculous. Maybe it's time to admit it's an experiment that's not working? (Unless the purpose is to show how crazy the right wing base can be, in which case it's working very well.)
(h/t: Gus.)
