1. The missed exam
Elise Lacher, CPA, with Lacher McDonald Consulting in Seminole, Fla., says that equine practitioners skip brief medical examinations
so frequently that adding them to your routine is practically found money. James Guenther, DVM, MBA, MHA, CVPM, a consultant
with Brakke Veterinary Practice Management Group in Asheville, N.C., says it's easy to slip into the habit of performing the
requested service and then moving on to the next thing. "Many practitioners still operate with a firefighter mentality," says
Dr. Guenther. "They dash from emergency to emergency, rarely stopping to squeeze in routine care." But providing your patients
with 10- to 15-minute examinations anytime you're onsite is good medicine—and good business.
Missed charges also undermine your ability to demonstrate value and generate income. Maybe you performed the examination or
dispensed the drug, but you forgot to bill for it. "Don't wait until the 20th of the month to write invoices," warns Dr. Guenther.
If you can't afford the time to bill at the point of service, ask a technician to do it.
Andrew Clark, DVM, MBA, and CEO of Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Ky., says capturing fees—and charging appropriately
for what you do—holds the biggest potential for revenue growth. "It's harvesting the low-hanging fruit," Clark says.
2. Diagnostics in the field
The 2001 National Fee and Market Study conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association and American Association of
Equine Practitioners claims that as much as 15% of small-animal clinics' revenue comes from diagnostic testing. Equine practices
barely achieve 1%. Horses require just as many routine tests as cats and dogs, but few equine practitioners place the appropriate
emphasis on testing. Explain to clients how diagnostics can make horse healthcare more affordable in the long run. Once you've
determined your fees and polished your pitch, it's simply a matter of dusting off your equipment and using it in the field.

The Air Jordan Spiz'ike is the ultimate mash up. Jordan Brand fused the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, Air Jordan V and the Air Jordan VI models to create one unique design. The Spiz'ike pays tribute to Jordan's commercial sidekick Mars Blackmon, played by Spike Lee. Jordan and Mars starred in many commercials that not only set the foundation for the Jordan Brand, but accelerated its popularity around the world with the phrase, "Is it the shoes?"

The Progressive
Posted by: Bruce Robinson on Dec 04, 2008
Not one but two Project Censored stories this past year came from the work of Matt Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine.
Matthew Rothschild (below) the Editor of The Progressive magazine spoke last night at Sonoma State University, as part of Project Censored's Modern Media Censorship lecture series. Rothschild had two of his own stories selected by Project Censored for their Top 25 of th4e past year, including one about a shadowy partnership between the FBI and American businesses called InfraGard. You can read it here.
President Elect Barak Obama is on the cover of the current edition of The Progressive, but editor Matt Rothschild is openly skeptical about the cabinet picks and other early moves by the new chief executive.
Newspapers across the country are struggling to reinvent themselves and survive in the Internet age, but Rothschild suggests that the situation for niche magazines such as The Progressive is not so dire.
Much of Rothschild's other recent reporting has addressed the erosion of civil rights in this country over the past eight years, stories he has compiled in his most recent book, You Have No Rights: Stories of America in an Age of Repression.

A number of companies have trimmed the stock of a hunting rifle and called it a "women's" gun—but Savage Arms set out to design a rifle that was truly designed for female hunters and shooters. The company listened to what women had to say, and used that feedback to help create the Model 11/111 Lady Hunter.
Chambered in .338 Federal, the JP Enterprises LRP-07H semi-automatic centerfire rifle provides accuracy and power for the hunters out there who love the AR platform.
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has announced an all-new Predator version of its popular, 100 percent American-made Ruger American Rifle.
Steyr Arms' new facility is Alabama is an ideal showcase for the company's superb offering of fine hunting rifles and shotguns.
Much has been written on the ideal distance to zero a hunting rifle. There is no best sight-in range for everyone, because the range at which hunters expect to shoot their quarry differs considerably. There is one technique, however, that should allow you to hold your crosshairs on the vitals of deer-sized game and keep the bullet inside the vital zone out to 280 yards—and Jeff Johnston's ready to share it with you.
The Ruger American is a perfect example of the American tradition of firearm manufacturing and it's a hit with hunters, which is undoubtedly why Ruger recently introduced the American Rimfire.
Sheriff Jim Wilson jumped at the chance to join Uberti for a hunt in Texas and put the company's High-Wall rifle to the test. How did he fare? Read on to find out.
Though much of the attention at the annual Dallas Safari Club convention has been focused on the organization's controversial black rhino hunt auction, the show had no shortage of other attractions—namely a selection of high-end, handcrafted rifles.
Lest one think "cheaper" means cheap, think again. The Model 783 offers everything a hunter needs in a rifle: accuracy, dependability and a retail price that should inspire impulse buying.
The editors of American Hunter have announced the recipients of the magazine's 2014 Golden Bullseye Awards.
As a "Thanksgiving Combo," Gamo is offering a Whisper Rifle with free PBA pellets, Blue Flame pellets and a tactical LED flashlight for only $299.99 (free shipping).
The Model 101 is the newest bolt-action rifle in the Sauer line, intended to provide Sauer quality at a more affordable price than the top-of-the-line 202.
Many hunters view Canada's vast landscape as something of a paradise. But you can't hunt the Great White North without a firearm or two in tow. Crossing the border with your favorite rifle or shotgun is very doable, but it's going to take a little paperwork. Here's what you need to do.
It used to be if you wanted a lightweight rifle you had to opt for open sights or a very compact scope. Weatherby said, "Not if you want to hunt with us."
Whether for pest control, cheap practice or just plain fun, everyone needs an airgun. Gamo's latest "adult precision air rifle" is called the MRA Showstopper Shawn Michaels edition.

The offspring of Halley's Comet will soon put on quite a show.
Starting Monday, Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet, which will give us the benefit of the annual Orionids meteor shower.
The meteor shower will be at its most dramatic the night of Oct. 20 until before dawn on Oct. 21.
Space.com has these tips for watching:
- Get as far away from city and other artificial lights as possible. Meteor showers are best viewed in really dark skies.
- Use a chair that reclines enough for you to comfortably gaze into the sky.
- You don't need binoculars or a telescope—that will only limit the amount of sky you can see
Also, NASA has this video and article about the Orionids.
In Somerville, it can be difficult to get away from city lights, but here are some places that might be good options for vieiwng:
- Tufts University
- Seven Hills Park
- Prospect Hill Park
- City Hall Concourse
- Dilboy Field
If you know of another good place in or near Somerville to watch, let people know in the comments section below.
Keep an eye on the weather forecast for the weekend—Oct. 20 and 21—when the shower should be at its peak. This year, the moon will be setting at approximately midnight, which will keep the sky darkened enough that you should be able to see up to 15 meteors per hour.
Meteor showers get their names from the constellations in the sky where they can be spotted. Look for Orion the Hunter: The stars tend to shoot from Orion's club.
There's also something else that's special about this show: With the second-fastest entry velocity of all the annual meteor showers,
meteors from the Orionids produce yellow and green colors and occasionally produce an odd fireball.

While it's true I generally have books on the brain, those of you who have been reading my little blog since the very beginning know that I sometimes blog about other entertainment-related topics. Since there seems to be a lot swimming around in my thoughts (even if I can't quite wake up fully regardless of a large mug of coffee this morning) I'm doing a miscellany topic dump post.
- Glee: Thus far in the season, I'm slightly underwhelmed. I think Kate Hudson is awesome as Cassandra July and I love her scenes. But the previews for this week's episode is giving me palpatations - Kurt and Blaine breaking up? Finn and Rachel splitting apart (again)? What is going on?! That is all just madness. Plus, I haven't yet felt the urge to download any of the music so far. I do like the new gal in New Directions, though. And Puck's half-brother has promise, too.
- Doctor Who: After yesterday's Packer win, I gently persuaded (read: begged) for control of the remote and watched the third and fourth episodes in this season's Doctor Who series. I'd been seeing some slightly spoilerly posts on Facebook and I didn't want a full-on spoil, so I figured I needed to partake before everything was ruined. All I have to say is that I'm broken hearted. I cried and blubbered and shouted, "This sucks!" through my tears and my mom diligently handed me tissues and shook her head sadly in my direction. I knew the Ponds were leaving this season and, for as sad as I am, their departure was, quite simply, brilliant. Devastatingly sad for this fan, but brilliant nonetheless. Can't wait for this year's Christmas special! (Oh, and I totally want this shirt.)
- Hotel Transylvania: Cute, but not quite cute enough to justify the $17 I spent on matinee tickets for me and Mom. The best parts are in the trailer. ("Thanks, but I'm scream cheese intolerant so . . . polite pass.")
- Ree Drummond: I've been listening to the audio book version of Ree Drummond's autobiography. (She's The Pioneer Woman on Food Network for those of you who didn't know.) Honestly, I'm loving it. Hearing her tell the story of how she met, was wooed by and fell in love with her very own Marlboro Man has made me laugh out loud several times during my daily commutes. And her cookbooks are outstanding - definately ones I'd like to add to my collection.
- Speaking of books . . . I have, of course, been doing a lot of reading. I paged through the very lovely book, "The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World" and devoured "Crescendo," even while being simultaneously frustrated and disappointed. But not enough to stop me from heading to the library website and requesting the next book. I'm also 100 or so pages into "Voyager," book three in the Outlander series I've waxed on poetically about so frequently. And I'm about two-thirds of the way through "Whiter Than Snow," which is surprisingly captivating to me.
- Dancing with the Stars: I have really enjoyed this show since the beginning. However . . . I'm starting to feel worn out by it. It's beginning to feel like such a huge time committment. But, I have to watch and cheer for Kelly Monaco and Bristol Palin. So I'll just keep a book handy while it's on.

Ragweed pollen in Washington D.C.
Ragweed typically makes its annual return to the D.C. area late August
and peaks in early September.
Ragweed is the highest cause of allergenic rhinitis in North America and will be making its annual visit to the D.C. area in the next couple of weeks. Thus far, pollen counts for Ragweed are relatively low.
Susan Kosisky, the Chief Microbiologist at the US Army Centralized Allergen Extract Lab stated in the latest pollen count, "The first week of August is when we usually start to see the first glimpses of ragweed season. By the second week in August, daily average totals are around 4 grains/cubic meter of air."
She did note, however, that the latter part of August through early September is usually the point when ragweed really begins to increase in the D.C. area. "In the month of August some 40% of our total annual ragweed pollen load is observed. The first week in September is usually the overall "peak week" for ragweed. In September, about 56% of the annual ragweed pollen load is recorded. We have not seen too much ragweed out there (maybe a grain or two to date)."
- Ragweed plant
Ragweed, shown above, are annual or perennial herbs that range from small plants 3 feet tall up to 13 feet tall (Great Ragweed). 21 species of ragweed occur in North America, but most allergy problems are caused by just two species which account for more hay fever (bodies reaction to the pollen) than all other plants together. One single plant can release up to a billion pollen grains in a season. Not that I trust everything on wikipedia, but it stated that pollen grains have been recorded around 400 miles out at sea and up to 2 miles up in the atmosphere, so the pollen can travel exceptionally far.
How can you beat the pollen? Here are a few tips.
Stay indoors as much as possible during high pollen days (We will let you know when those days are!)
Keeps windows in your house and car shut as much as possible
Change clothes after being outdoors for a prolonged period of time
Shower before bed to wash off pollen
Equip your home with HEPA air filters
Remember to take your allergy medications (Claritin is my friend during the late summer and early fall!)
Wet conditions and humid air is usually good during ragweed season as it doesn't allow pollen to disperse in the atmosphere as much as it would if it were dry and windy. This could be a good thing for the next few weeks, but remember when the skies finally clear and drier air gets into the region later this month, you may want to keep the windows shut.
If you plan on traveling this fall, you may also want to take your allergy medications with you, as the ragweed season is longer the farther south you travel. Some species don't pollinate until the winter months in Florida. Ragweed is done after the first hard freeze, which after our record cool maximum yesterday may be sooner than we think!

It's been less than a week since Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel became husband and wife, and we're already starting to get burned out by news of their "magical," Italy-set nuptials on Oct. 19.
From the bride's pink, princess-inspired couture wedding gown to the explosion of white flowers to the groom's bride-dedicated serenade of a brand-new song, details have been leaking out ahead of People magazine's knot-tying exclusive, which debuts online Wednesday.
So, just how much did the newlyweds receive from the mag in exchange for "I do" access? The New York Post puts the price tag at around $300,000, small change considering that the ceremony at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia is rumored to have cost in the swanky neighborhood of $6.5 million. Word is, they've also inked a lucrative deal to distribute the pics in Europe.
Still, to put the money in perspective, Jessica Simpson reportedly pocketed $800,000 for the first photos of daughter Maxwell; Jennifer Lopez nabbed $6 million to unveil her twins in 2008; and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie scored $14 million for the debut of their double bundles in 2008, a sum they earmarked for charity.
We contacted Biel's rep to find out if the couple have a similar altruistic plan in mind for their wedding moolah but have yet to hear back.
Meanwhile, the intimate nuptials meant the guest list was light on celebrities, save for the likes of Justin's "SNL" pal Andy Samberg and Jessica's former "7th Heaven" co-star Beverley Mitchell. According to the Post, Timberlake's former *NSYNC bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone didn't make the cut.
"The band were not invited and are pretty upset about it," says a source. "But the wedding guests were mainly close family and friends."
That said, Chasez couldn't have made it regardless: He was attending his brother's wedding in Orlando. And there are rumblings that Kirkpatrick actually was on hand to witness the event.
As for Timberlake, he was apparently a bit under the weather as he vowed to stick with Biel until death (career or otherwise) do they part.
"Justin wasn't feeling well all week and on his wedding day," a spy tells Us Weekly. But he tried not to be a party pooper during a rager at the resort's bar.
"They shut the place down! They had a big night at the bar where everyone went crazy, but Justin wasn't feeling great," explains the source, before adding, "Justin was in a good mood. He had fun."

Cumberland Times-News
The Western Maryland Regional Library (WHILBR) hosts numerous websites which are of local historical interest.
As this is Women's History Month, one of these websites I draw your attention to is "Historic Women of Allegany County" at http://www.whilbr.org/AlleganyWomen/index.aspx.
Although Black History Month has officially passed, several excellent recent newspaper features and letters have highlighted this often overlooked element of our regional history.
Pursuant to this, the reader might want to check out the "Allegany County African American History" website at http://www.whilbr
Or to save time, simply "Google" or search the title of the website and it will take you to the link.
Thank you.

Adventures In Tech uses the hottest topics in tech as a jumping off point for bitesize, informative
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.
Unless you need a great deal on earbuds, there's no reason to buy the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition.
The HTC Desire 816's combination of solid design and quality performance strikes all the right chords to make it a compelling phone for its price.
Pricing not available
Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer.
Sure, it doesn't have the latest Android software on board, but if you're after a good-looking HTC phone with powerful speakers and 4G LTE for speedy data downloads, the Desire 601 is an affordable option to consider.
Pricing not available
The HTC One Max has a display big-screened phone shoppers want, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 3's superior design and display make it a better buy.
The HTC Desire 610 may be affordable, with an iPhone 5C-style plastic body, but its mediocre specs and poor screen resolution mean it's still not a good buy. For much less money you can grab the 4G Motorola Moto G, which has the same processor, Android KitKat software and a higher resolution display.
Pricing not available
Even with its scaled-down specs, the HTC One Mini is a go-to performer with style to match.
The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition will fulfill the dreams of Android fanatics seeking to pair top-notch hardware with a Nexus-style KitKat experience, so long as they're willing to pay a premium.
With its low-resolution screen and dual-core processor, the HTC Desire 300 isn't going to impress hardened tech nerds. The promised low price, however, means it could be a good option for those of you on a budget.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The University of Wisconsin System regents are set to meet tomorrow to consider whether to admit a higher percentage of out-of-state students. The proposal would raise the cap on non-resident undergraduate enrollment from 25 percent to 30 percent.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance is planning to build a new office tower in downtown Milwaukee. The 840,000-square-foot building could be more than 30 stories.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin environmental officials are asking residents to do what they can to cut down on holiday waste. Household trash typically climbs about 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's as families dispose of gift wrap, decorations, packaging, disposable plates and leftover food.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Milwaukee and Madison aren't the only Midwestern cities contending with an unusual lack of snow. The National Weather Service says Lincoln, Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska and Des Moines, Iowa are all breaking records for the longest continuous stretch without measurable snow.

A month later, Jimmy Kimmel is unpacked in his new time slot digs — and giving his neighbors on the late-night block something to talk about.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live's" move to 11:35 p.m. has paid off big for ABC and added bounce to the battle for late night, long a predictable tug-of-war between Jay Leno and David Letterman.
In its most recent week (Jan. 28-Feb. 1), the late-night talker was second to "The Tonight Show" in adults 18-49 (1.081 million verses 911,000 for "Kimmel") and third in total viewers with 2.5 million, behind Leno (3.5 million viewers) and Letterman (3.1 million viewers).
VIDEO: Jimmy Kimmel vs. Matt Damon: A video history
Kimmel's inroads over Letterman have been felt since the beginning of the move. Its Jan. 8 bow in the time slot brought in 3.1 million viewers (a 59% jump over its usual audience at midnight) over Letterman's 2.9 million viewers. And in the advertiser-cherished 18-49 demo, Kimmel outpaced Letterman by 30%, a pattern that hasn't changed much. Over the span of the "Kimmel's" first four weeks in the new slot, it has on average out-delivered Letterman by 154,000 in adults 18-49. In total weekly viewers, the race between the two is tighter.
A highly publicized visit from Matt Damon on Jan. 24 also brought a boost for "Kimmel," pushing him to No.1 among all-late night programs in households and adults 18-49.
Could late-night's regular viewers be turning in the old for the new? It's too soon to tell. But versus a year ago in the same month, Letterman has taken the biggest hit in the 18-49 demo with the addition of Kimmel — down 21%. In total viewers, "Late Show" was down 7%. Leno's drop-off was less significant, down 6% in the 18-49 demo and 4% in total viewers.
But Kimmel doesn't seem to want to pay too much attention to it all. Last month during a stop on the set of his show during the Television Critics Assn., the 45-year-old host likened the extra attention being paid to the Late Night wars to a sporting event — saying people like the "drama." He also told reporters he expects to settle into third place eventually, behind hero David Letterman.
"Johnny Carson retired with the crown," he said. "There's no king of late night."

The Clinton School Board on Monday approved $86,000 in change orders for the new middle school project, which the project engineer told members is a few weeks behind schedule.
"The Clinton Middle School project is more important to our company than any other project we've ever had. I go to bed at night thinking about this project and I wake up in the morning thinking about this project," Estes Construction project engineer Eric White told the board before going into the details of the change orders.
The soil beneath one portion of the middle school and the fire access road is soft, White explained. Because it will be unable to handle the structure load of the new school, the school board approved a $38,254 change order and another $35,539 change order to remove the soil under a portion of the school and the north fire access road, replacing it with limestone and compacting it.
Board member Mercia Wolf asked White if he foresees any other areas where the soil might yield more expenses. He said nature is pushing the area beneath the cafeteria and gymnasium on a path that wouldn't require the district to spend more money for soil replacement, but couldn't give a definitive answer as to whether the soils would present an issue.
"I can't make any promises right now. I hope I don't have to come back to you to talk about that area, but I don't want that to be a surprise either," White said.
The project will be past any potential soil problems in three to four weeks, he said.
Board members also approved a change order for $12,491 to add perimeter foundation insulation. The insulation had to be added as a change order because it was not included in the specifications that were issued as part of the original bid, meaning the concrete contractor did not know that company was responsible for the insulation.
The new middle school project started with a $400,000 contingency. That fund now stands at around $305,000.
White also updated the board on the project's timeline, which has been slightly pushed back.
While steel has been erected in one section of the building, the framing part of the project that would enclose the first of four sections of the building is three weeks behind. Some parts of the building will be enclosed in December, others not until January, he said.
"When you talk about three weeks, is that bad? Three weeks? That's horrible. But when you think about...in March we started grading, but we had equipment sitting out there for probably two weeks because there was frost on the ground. And we had 44 non-productive days from the time we got on the job site, we're doing really well," White said.
He said trades will be stacked to push the project forward to make the timeline tighter.
Crews are doing geothermal drilling, which will take roughly four months. Estes plans to place rock for parking lots. They also plan to put rock from 14th Street to 13th Avenue North so it can be driven on through the winter.
At the suggestion of the board, Estes also plans to re-open 16th Street Northwest.

Gun control laws won't stop killings
It amazes me that people can believe that passing more gun control laws will prevent killings like the ones we have had in the past few years. You can't pass laws to prevent evil, mental health, hatred, hot tempers or anything else that will cause a person to kill another person.
All of the laws already passed have not deterred those disposed to violent crimes. You can't pass a law to make you obey the laws that are passed. There will be consequences if you are convicted of breaking laws, but those bent on doing violence will give no thought to the wrong of their crimes or the consequences.
Murders have been committed, not only by guns, but by knives, blunt objects, cars, fists, you name it. If a person wishes another person dead, he will find a way to carry it out.
All of the killings occurred in "safe zones" or "no guns allowed" zones. If a good guy was allowed to carry a gun, the number of deaths could have been greatly reduced or prevented.
We have a God-given right, as well as the Second Amendment right, to keep and bear arms. We have the right to defend our persons, family and property from those who would kill us or rob us or destroy our possessions.
It has been stated, "If guns are outlawed, only the outlaw will have guns." Why do you think that is a true statement? If the government demands all guns are to be confiscated, who will most likely bring in their guns? The outlaw? Of course not. It will be law-abiding citizens.
But then again, many law-abiding West Virginians, I for one, will NOT willingly hand over our guns because politicians say we have to. They have no right to demand that of us. We do have a right NOT to.
You need to write, e-mail or call Sen. Manchin, Sen. Rockefeller and Rep. Rahall and tell them you expect them to honor their oath of office and defend the Constitution, including the Second Amendment. When you let your leaders know how you stand on issues, they take notice.
The time to act is NOW. Don't put off this important responsibility you have to stand against unlawful gun control laws.

Highway department could reduce flooding
Since the turnpike construction blocked the portion of Paint Creek in the Lively section of Pax, it is probable that it has happened elsewhere. Perhaps the highway department could look at the blockages and eliminate the areas that constantly back up causing flooding.
It would make the lives of the residents of these areas much easier.

Using graph search while having lunch, Herring was able to locate all of the employees at a popular Park Avenue restaurant who listed their place of employment on the social network.
Within a few minutes, she found the photographs and information for a woman who appeared to be the hostess at Bospohorous Turkish restaurant.
"I thought I was in trouble," said Nona Tyler, the graduate student and hostess at the restaurant.
Tyler was shocked when Local 6's Lauren Rowe showed her the iPad containing her Facebook profiles and photos.
"I guess if it was for the wrong intention it would be slightly concerning," she said. "Then again, I put it out there."
It's why Duncan and Herring recommend that everyone take a close look and be in control of their privacy settings.
"Graph Search is an easy way to search an index of every piece of data on Facebook," said Herring. "That means, you now have to consider who will be able to see any data that relates to you, right down to where you work or where you went to school."
For minors that are registered as adults, it is as simple as going to the about section of their profiles and entering the correct birthdates. By having a birthdate as a minor, the audience who can view your information is automatically limited.
Facebook said they require users to contact them if they are attempting to change a birthdate. That can be easily done through a contact link that appears on the site while changing a birthdate.
Local 6's Lauren Rowe has a video tutorial with Herring to walk users through the various aspects of Facebook privacy settings-view it here.

Tonawanda News — NORTH TONAWANDA — The jump to the professional ranks of Mixed Martial Arts isn't a question of if for Tonawanda's Scott McGregor, the question is how soon until he makes the jump.
After another dominant performance at TNT Fight Series: Dynamite Saturday night at the Sportsplex, McGregor said it may be time to make the move.
"My last four opponents (I've finished) all in the first period. I like to finish them and I'm going in there with that mind set every time," McGregor said. "I'm going to keep saying it: I'm going to finish anybody I come into contact with."
The former Warriors' wrestling standout, who improved to 4-1, did what he does best once again against Austyn Lizotte: get the fight to the floor and work his ground and pound.
McGregor came out with a superman punch and immediately shot for the takedown and got it. He then finished the fight shortly after with some fierce punches from the top that left Lizotte down on the mat for several minutes after referee Gene Mills pulled McGregor off him.
"(Lizotte) was good at turning in, he's got long legs and it was hard to pass his guard," McGregor said. "He almost had me in an arm bar at one point, but I postured up and laid the hammers down."
McGregor continues to display extreme patience once he gets his opponent down on the mat — into his world. He said it's important not to rush because that's when mistakes can happen.
"When you try to jump the gun you can get caught with something so you have to be patient and wait for that one shot," he said. "Then I hit him right in the eye and I saw it close up and I turned it up even more."

PSC endorses Kaukauna hydro rate hike
Electric rates in Kaukauna are set to rise to help pay for a hydroelectric generation project under construction there, state regulators decided Friday.
The state Public Service Commission voted to approve a rate hike of $2.9 million, or 4.8%, which could go into effect before the end of the year.
Kaukauna Utilities had applied in March for a rate increase that would be phased in over two years, including 6.6% this year and $5.4 million, or 8.8%, overall.
Commission Chairman Phil Montgomery said the commission's audit of the utility's proposal determined that an increase below what the utility originally sought was warranted.
The $38 million Badger Hydro project will expand the power generation from Badger Hydro from the two old generators that were shut down earlier this year. For more on the project, click here.
Citing concerns raised by the Wisconsin Paper Council, the commissioners voted to cap the rate hike for paper mills operating in Kaukauna to 4.6%, while the hike for residential customers will be higher, about 6.7%.

Panetta: Ex-SEAL's bin Laden book jeopardizes Defense operations
- By Lara Seligman
- September 11, 2012
- Leave a comment
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had harsh words on Tuesday for the ex-Navy SEAL whose new book details the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, saying that the author is jeopardizing sensitive defense operations and the safety of his fellow Navy SEALs.
Panetta said in an interview that aired on CBS' This Morning that, although people have a right to know about the operation, the Pentagon must ensure the security of its operations and the safety of its personnel.
"How the hell can we run sensitive operations here that go after our enemies if people are allowed to [reveal sensitive information]?" Pannetta said. "When somebody talks about the particulars of how those operations are conducted, what that does is it tells our enemies essentially how we operate and what we do to go after them, and when you do that, you tip them off."
Panetta distinguished between "sensitive" and "classified" information, and said the Pentagon is still reviewing the book to see if any classified information was revealed.
Panetta stopped short of saying that he wants to prosecute the retired Navy SEAL, although he said the Pentagon needs to "take steps" to make clear that his behavior was unacceptable.
"If we don't, then everybody else who pledges to ensure that this doesn't happen is going to get the wrong signal that somehow they can do it without any penalty," Panetta said.
Panetta also expressed frustration about the looming mandatory cuts to defense spending scheduled to go into effect as part of the bipartisan deal reached on debt reduction last summer. He called the defense sequester "irresponsible."
"They said let's put a gun to our head and if we don't do the right thing, we'll blow our heads off," Panetta said. "But the purpose was for Democrats and Republicans to do the right thing and prevent this from happening. That's what's irresponsible."

Oakley's team ripper, just a day after claiming the Gold in Snowboard Big Air, tantalized an already-pumped crowd with a masterful aerial display that would land him the Snowboard Slopestyle triumph with a monster 93.00 overall score.
The two coveted gold medals were his first…ever.
"I didn't have any expectations coming in this year," a smiling Mark said, rocking his Oakley snow goggles and gear. "I just wanted to ride like I can and land my tricks. That is all I come out to contests to do is to have fun and try and land the run I have in my head. That was able to happen two nights in a row and it was able to happen on a good weekend at X Games. Now I have a big smile on my face."
The rival that came closest to matching his dazzling early runs in the final, Sage Kotsenburg, made his last charge in his final run with an 88.00 score. But it wasn't enough to match Mark's seemingly untouchable performance from the get-go.
Coming out of the gates with a 90.00 score, he topped it all off with a 93.00 after run 2 with a frontside 180 onto a cargo container, Cab 270 into wallride, frontside bluntslide to 450 out in the technical rail section, then finally sealing the deal into the four-hit jump line with a Cab double cork 900, a frontside double cork 1080, a double "wildcat" backflip and a backside 1260.
"The second run was the run I'd planned," he said, following his victory lap. "Everything kind of worked out and I got to cruise my last run. That's what I find most fun in snowboarding, is having fun."
Congratulations to Mark on what has been an epic Winter X Games tear!

The Nebraska Supreme Court has rejected a convicted killer's second appeal, saying the man did not prove that a judge acted vindictively in sentencing him to up to 50 years for a weapons count.
Daniel Miller was convicted in the 2008 shooting death of 18-year-old Julius Robinson outside a southwest Omaha apartment complex.
Miller was originally sentenced to life without parole for first-degree murder and another 10 years for a weapons count, but the Nebraska Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year.
Miller subsequently pleaded guilty to reduced charges and was sentenced to 20 years for manslaughter and 30 to 50 years on a weapons count.
In his latest appeal, Miller said the harsher sentence for the weapons count was imposed vindictively because of Miller's success in his first appeal.

Why British Muslim women struggle to find a marriage partner
Older, unmarried female Muslims outnumber their male counterparts for many reasons. Fussiness is not one of them
The Guardian
'Muslim women, unlike men, are restricted as to whom they can marry. Marrying outside the faith is often only considered permissible if the men convert.' Photograph: Michael Kemp/Alamy
A few years ago, at the behest of my mother, I attended a Muslim marriage event in Glasgow. These are events where Muslim men and women meet for the purpose of seeking an ideal marriage partner.
At the event, there were around five women to every man. Well-turned-out women sat around dejected, twiddling their thumbs, waiting to speak to the select few.
Sadly, it's not an isolated example. Up and down the country, hundreds of women in their 30s and 40s within the Asian Muslim community are struggling to find a marriage partner.
Nearly all Muslim singles events are female-dominated, unless organisers artificially construct a level playing field by selling equal numbers of male and female tickets.
In the latter case, there's always a stampede for female tickets. December's Canary Wharf Professionals Muslim marriage event saw the female ticket quota sell out three weeks before, whereas the male ticket quota only sold out days before.
Moreover, the average age of women at such events is typically higher than men. Rooful Ali, founder of Emerald Muslim events, believes that the average age of women attending tends to be early 30s, while for men it is late 20s.
Such occurrences are symptomatic of the growing Muslim spinster crisis, which has been brewing for some time and is rooted in cultural, rather than religious, trends.
First, there has always been a tradition for British men originating from the Indian subcontinent to marry women from their country of origin. Families encourage their sons to do so for a host of reasons, including the cultural expectation that girls from "back home" will stay with and look after their in-laws.
The second trend is for Muslim men to marry "women of the book" (Christian or Jewish women), which is permissible in Islam. Men are more likely to work and socialise with British Christian women than their female Muslim counterparts, which leads to a higher chance of such marriages occurring.
Both trends lead to a shortfall of available Muslim men.
For Muslim women, marrying men from their country of origin is rarely considered an option as they tend to want social, economic and intellectual equals or superiors. Men from their country of origin tend to have different mindsets and struggle to find jobs no matter how well qualified they are, thereby leaving women as the main breadwinners. This situation can often create a strenuous dynamic in relationships with men from patriarchal cultures.
Muslim women, unlike men, are restricted as to whom they can marry. Marrying men outside the faith is only considered permissible in most communities if the men convert.
Moreover, in line with national trends, Muslim women academically outperform the men. According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission's How Fair is Britain? report, Bangladeshi and Pakistani women are more likely to be employed as professionals than their male counterparts. This means that professional Muslim women have an even smaller pool of intellectual and economic equals to choose from.
This is exacerbated by the fact that Asian men are likely to choose partners of lower economic and intellectual status as they traditionally grow up with working fathers and stay-at-home mothers, and generally choose to replicate this model.
Unfortunately, these imbalances are not widely acknowledged – many label older unmarried women as fussy. The effect on women is crippling. Many become depressed as a huge amount of importance is attached to marriage, and unmarried women are made to feel that they've failed.
Any real solution would require a complete cultural shift in mindset by parents, community leaders and imams. This will need geographically, socially and economically fractured communities to work together to achieve change – no easy feat. Until they do so, many women who want to marry men of the same faith will continue to struggle.

I am an Indian citizen living in Britain ..none of my family members live in India..some live in UK and most live in Middle East.I am allhamdulila well educated and mashallah have a well paid job.I can't ask anyone to look for a girl on my behalf back in India because none of them are there.I have tried matrimonial bureaus back in India and they seem to get me the wrong ones(none of them want to wear hijab...for some reason they think Allah will forgive them if they don't wear hijab in UK).
I tried looking in UK with the help of family members and sites like singlemuslim...purematrimony...but our wonderful sisters want "British born & bred men"...to be honest I can speak better English and allahamdulila have better manners then most of the "British born & bred Asians"( The latter part is unfortunate... I wish Muslim men & women have good characters& manners but my experience has taught me this isn't the case with the majority) . Muslim sisters in UK seem to have one requirement.."British born & bred"....I don't think so they care much about deen or for that matter duniya!!!
I am now considering marrying some one back home even if she doesn't wear hijab but is willing to do so in future.From my experience, I have observed that religious sisters put more emphasis on " British born & bred husbands " then sisters who are not that religious.
My advice to our "British born & bred" Muslim sisters is please don't paint everyone with the same brush..don't think everyone are visa seekers ... there are genuine people out there looking to get married and unfortunately some of them are stuck between their countries and Britian. I apologise in advance if I have offended anyone.

Assalaam Alaikum,
Brother I can totally understand the troubles you're having. But one of the reasons sisters put this emphasis on "British born and bred" is like you said so that they know for sure these guys aren't just marrying them for their visa. They also hope these brothers have the same expectations as they do in issues like working outside the home, being active in public life, raising children, finances, cooking, household chores and so on. A brother who is born and bred overseas has different expectations many times. Some brothers overseas have the mentality that a woman's world should revolve around the husband's and that she has to obey him no matter what. They are also afraid of these brothers and their in laws abusing them or not treating them right. (Yes it happens in Britain too, but this is the perception.)
Many of the studies coming out these days about Divorce among Muslims has this as one of the major reasons for divorce: girls in Western countries marrying men overseas. It's just very hard for both people to adjust.
I think as a brother you should also consider these factors if you're trying to marry someone from overseas. Putting someone in a different environment changes a lot of things. I would emphasize that one should not marry someone expecting them to change for the better. They can easily change for the worse.
It's better to marry someone who's at around your same level of practice and dedication to Islam, that way you can grow together.
I think you should try attending some of these matrimonial events they have in Britain, also become active in your Masjid and the different Islamic activities there. Let some of your friends and married brothers and sisters know that you are looking to get married. Sisters are always quick to recognize a good brother and always want to try to find someone good for him
InshaAllah you'll find someone good.

I understand your point but Allah has given us a powerful tool known as Istikhara which is not being used often.Since there is no guarantee that "British born & bred " men are totally compatible for a British sister and non -British men are totally incompatible, sisters& brothers shouldn't generalize but treat every person as a different individual and do istikhara before you take any steps forward. But unfortunately British sisters don't bother doing Istikhara for a non- British brother ...they just freak out as soon as know you are not a British citizen.
It is reported in Trimidhi "Be careful regarding Allah and you will find Him before you. Recognise Allah in ease and He will recognise you in hardship.
Know that whatever misses you could never have hit you and what hits you could never have missed you
. Know that victory comes with fortitude, rescue with constriction, and ease with hardship."
We as muslim believe in destiny and if something has to happen then IT WILL HAPPEN.This keeps me going and searching but I have changed my strategy...I have decided to look back in India again through some other matrimonial bureaus and look for a match in the middle east through some of my relatives .....Not sure of going to matrimonial events in Britian as I anticipate the same problem of my nationality. I have been introduced to sisters in UK through family members but these sisters are not religious therefore never fancied them.....Inshallah I am hopeful that Allah will not leave me in such a state for long, after all he is the best of planners.

I frequent London for work, Im based in the Middle East. Kashmiri people find it utterly challenging to meet people of same background in this part of the world. So, Ive decided to give the marriage event a go whther in NYC or London, Unfortunately no events in Dubai.
From your post below, and from your experience of these events: are you suggesting there is nationality discrimination? If you could please further elaborate.

Walkiumsalam, A_Khn
I haven't attended any of the matrimonial events in Britian...I have mainly searched through matrimonial websites and family references in UK. Generally sisters which were introduced to me through family references are fine with potential non-british men for obvious reasons.
These matrimonial events are open to all nationalities therefore there aren't any discrimination from the organizers but I am contemplating that since sisters in UK want british bred husbands and they are no references to vouch for me during these events, it may not be a good searching strategy for me. Moreover, since I am looking for hijabis...I am not sure if these events attract the hijabis... therefore never thought of attending these events. If I don't find anyone in the next 3-6 months then you probably will bump into me in one of these events!!!!
From your experience do hijabis attend these events??? What are the pros and cons of these events ??

Salaam BrotherIslam87,
Many thanks for your response.
I have no experience of such events, however I am going to be attending a few simply because this method needs a try from single muslim professionals looking to marry. So, unfortunately I wont be able to answer your questions. However, here my opinion brother. I'd imagine these events be for women both hijabi / non-hijabi, I dont see a reason why they wouldnt be for hijabis, unless Im missing on something. Eitherway, i strongly feel a group of people are organising these events with a good neah and honest effort (from the websites one can judge that).

Nothing Like I Imagined This was the 2nd of 5 dresses I tried on. I have saved over 20 on my favorites list and this was not one of them. When we walked into the store we looked around a bit and I saw another bride with this dress on and knew immediately that I HAD to try it on. We started off with a dress with sleeves like I thought I wanted and quickly that got taken back off. When I put this dress on I was felt BEAUTIFUL, any plus size bride knows what I'm talking about when I say I never thought I would say that about myself. I walked out of the dressing room and my mom and 2 cousins totally dropped jaw. I looked in the mirror and I was amazed at how stunning I looked. I heard one of my cousins say "she's not speaking this can't be good". But I couldn't speak it totally took my breath away. I was speechless. Then the tears came and I knew this was MY dress! I tried on 3 others that were beautiful just did not hold a candle to this beautiful dress. I put it back on and went back to the mirror and my mom immediately rang the bell. I looked over and one of my cousins had a permanet smile on her face and the other one had tears in her eyes! I can NOT wait to walk down to the aisle in September and marry my best friend! Thank you Wichita David's Bridal for making me feel so special that day! March 13, 2014
Truly my perfect gown! Firstly, I had an INCREDIBLE experience at David's bridal, they treated me like a queen and everyone was so sweet and ready to help and accessorize. I was so excited to try this dress when I came in to the store and as soon as I put it on I knew it was my dress! I am a bridal size 18 and was very nervous I wouldn't find something flattering, but this dress made me feel gorgeous, feminine, and curvy in the BEST possible way. The color and details are exquisite and women of ALL shapes and sizes would look incredible in this gown. March 4, 2014
Breathtaking I am extremely picky when it comes to clothing and I was so fearful of trying on one of the most important dresses I will ever wear because of that. The David's Bridal associate was so helpful and she actually suggested this dress. I was iffy about it at first because it was champagne colored. I didn't think I would like it. It was only the 3rd dress I tried on and OH MY GOD! I am a plus size girl and this dress just took my breath away. Both my mother and maid of honor were with me and they agreed with me and said this was the dress for me. I absolutely love it and feel it is very flattering. For you brides out there I definitely recommend trying the dresses you might feel iffy about, because you might be surprised. The dress looks completely different on you than when it is on the hanger. Don't be afraid to take friendly suggestions. The associates are there to help make you look and feel beautiful. Take a deep breath and let it all flow. I know for some brides, I may have jumped the gun on only trying 3 dresses, but now I know when they say that you just KNOW it's the dress for you once you have it on and this was definitely the one. ������ Best wishes and happy wedding to all of you lovely brides! February 16, 2014
Beautiful Dress! After trying dresses on all day, this is the only dress to put a smile on my face, I ordered it in the champagne over ivory. Fits my rustic theme perfectly. It is simply a breath taking dress! February 2, 2014
