Thread: NBC News investigated for breaking DC gun laws by using high-capacity ammunition clip as a prop on "Meet the Press"
NBC News investigated for breaking DC gun laws by using high-capacity ammunition clip as a prop on "Meet the Press"NBC News asked D.C. police for permission to use a high-capacity ammunition clip as a prop on Sundays Meet the Press show, a request District authorities said Wednesday they denied.But host David Gregory appears to have used one anyway and then displayed it on national television. Now D.C. police say theyre investigating whether the Districts gun laws were violated in the incident.
The Districts code says that No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device whether or not it is attached to a firearm.
A police official said the case has been assigned to detectives in the gun unit. Investigators will first determine whether the segment was taped in the District and then whether the clip Gregory held up on air was real and contained bullets.David Benowitz, a District defense attorney who handles gun cases in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, said the ammunition charge Gregory could face is a rarely prosecuted misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine. The attorney said Gregory would be permitted a jury trial.Benowitz said the possessing the clip, even if it didnt have any bullets in it, could violate D.C. law. But as a defense lawyer, Benowitz said he would question whether Gregory actually possessed it or was merely using it in the show.The other question, the attorney said, would be how NBC obtained the magazine, whether it actually had the capacity to hold 30 bullets and whether the host knew that D.C. police had rejected a request from the show to obtain one from the departments evidence room.I presume David Gregory didnt go out on the street and get a 30-round clip himself, said Benowitz, a partner in the law firm of Price, Benowitz LLP. He said that if an NBC staffer brought in a clip from Virginia, for example that would also be illegal.Politicians and news anchors have long used guns as props. In 1993, then-Marylan

Faculty Excellence Honored with Excellence in Teaching Awards
By Malynda Dorsey
Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award: Gardner Rogers
The 2012 Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Gardner Rogers of the Department of English who started teaching at VSU in the fall of 2007. "The award meant the world to me," said Rogers. "I'm thrilled to receive it because teaching means so much to me, honored because there are so many wonderful teachers here, and humbled because I know I'm only as good as my next class." Rogers attended Williams College for three years and then went on to the University of Kentucky. In 1993, he obtained a B.A. at the University of Kentucky followed by a M.A. in English in 1996. He then went to the University of Illinois for additional graduate work in English. Staring his sixth year at VSU, Rogers has played a pivotal role in helping to pilot a new online hybrid format for the English Department World Literature courses. He has also used his talent to help colleagues and students in the Art Department with writing and research skills. "I've loved VSU," said Rogers. "It's a very friendly campus. Its students are very responsive. The English department faculty has been remarkably supportive and accepting." Although there is not much time during the academic year outside the classroom, Rogers says he plays a lot of golf in the summer, poorly but passionately he adds. He also enjoys reading books about higher education. This year's Faculty Excellence Awards recipients were recommended by a faculty committee representing all the colleges and divisions at VSU. These recipients were chosen from a field of candidates who had already received top honors in their respective colleges and divisions.
Faculty Excellence in Professional Activity Award: Gretchen Bielmyer
Dr. Gretchen Bielmyer was honored with the 2012 Faculty Excellence in Professional Activity Award. The associate professor of biology has been at VSU for four years. "It was very nice to be recognized for the work I have been doing and the efforts I have made," said Bielmyer. "I am very honored to have received the award and very appreciative to VSU for giving me the support necessary to further my professional development." Bielmyer earned her B.S. in biology from the University of North Florida and her M.S. and Ph.D. in environmental toxicology from Clemson University. She completed her post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Miami. While at VSU, Bielmyer has been active in pursuing research, educating students and participating in community and university organizations. She says the faculty in the biology department has been very collaborative and supportive, and she has met many amazing students while at VSU. Bielmyer's research interests are in the field of aquatic toxicology. The main focus of her research is the effects of metal contaminants on aquatic organisms when exposed through the water or diet. Her written work since 2008 includes eight refereed journal articles, several book chapters, two journal articles in review and two more in preparation. Bielmyer also chaired the Undergraduate Research Council in the College of Arts and Sciences and currently serves as the biology representative on the university-wide council. Her devotion to her students is evident, as she has mentored 18 undergraduates in her research lab and co-authored publications with six undergraduate students. Outside of the classroom, Bielmyer enjoys many outdoor activities, namely running, cycling, swimming and triathlons. This year's Faculty Excellence Awards recipients were recommended by a faculty committee representing all the colleges and divisions at VSU. These recipients were chosen from a field of candidates who had already received top honors in their respective colleges and divisions.

Save Lucasarts
Following the Disney-Lucasfilm merger, Disney began to systematically demolish many Lucas projects that had already been set in place. Most notably, and most controversially, it has canceled the Clone Wars tv series. Now, it appears to be a distinct possibility that Lucasarts will also feel the effects of the merger. In the midst of two major projects - 1313 and First Assault - Lucasarts has become somewhat distant and reluctant to talk recently. Kotaku has reported, however, that though 1313 continues production, First Assault may never be released. Lucasarts employees are even beginning to leave the company for more stable prospects. Star Wars had been trending to more casual games recently, but those of us who remember and love the older games - Battlefront, KOTOR, even back to X-Wing and TIE Fighter - know that casual isn't enough for Star Wars. Keep Lucasarts on its feet, and we may keep more along the lines of Battlefront 3 than Star Wars:Angry Birds Episode 5.

The Tribune-Star
Concerns that gay/lesbian couples will attend the Sullivan High School prom have prompted a group to organize a separate prom for heterosexual couples only.
The controversy over the "2013 Sullivan Traditional Prom" is drawing nationwide attention and online petitions in protest.
Despite the protest, the Rev. Gary Larimer of Sullivan Wesleyan Church said Monday that plans continue for the so-called traditional prom, one that bars gay/lesbian couples. "It's something where we can give the kids a choice," he said.
He attended a planning meeting Sunday for the prom that would allow only girl-boy couples to attend.
"A lot of kids are upset with this issue, We want to let the kids know the church is behind you. We're doing this out of love," Larimer said.
"We have to stand up for some of these issues or it will continue to get worse and worse and worse."
The gay/lesbian lifestyle "to me is a choice. You're not born that way," Larimer said. "It's an abomination in the Bible, which tells you it's wrong, blatantly wrong. Cities have been destroyed because of this type of lifestyle."
Those organizing the independent prom know they will get "a lot of static" and it will snowball, Larimer said.
"We look at it as a stepping stone other communities might be able to use."
What's being done is "out of love," not hate, he said. "As a matter of fact, several churches will offer some type of help and classes for these [gay/lesbian] couples, Larimer said. "We want to let them know there are places they can go if they need help."
The Sullivan High School prom won't exclude anyone, school officials say.
"We're having our prom April 27 as we always do. We'll encourage all students to attend," said Chris Stitzle, superintendent of Southwest School Corp. "We treat all students with dignity and respect, and that's not going to change."
The school is not affiliated with the group planning the "traditional" prom, "nor are we responsible for it," Stitzle said.
David Springer, who's been the Sullivan High School principal for just seven months, said the controversy arose when two girls wanted to participate in the "grand march" together, and they started a petition.
The petition wasn't needed because there is nothing prohibiting two girls from participating in the "grand march together," Springer said.
The grand march takes place in the gym, prior to the prom, when couples are announced as they enter. While the march has traditionally been boy-girl couples, it doesn't have to be, Springer said. Student couples of the same gender might go together because they want to attend with a friend. Students, however, are not required to state a reason.
According to Springer, the petition prompted some churches to get involved; they apparently were concerned that allowing two girls to walk out together would indicate support for gay/lesbian couples.
Springer said he's seen televised interviews with some of those attending Sunday's organizational meeting for the so-called "traditional" prom. "They said some pretty rough things," he said.
He reiterated the high school "has no part" in the prom being organized through churches.
"Every student is encouraged to attend our grand march and prom," Springer said.
He also pointed out that legally, the school could not prohibit gay or lesbian couples from attending.
Ken Falk of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana said that same-sex couples who want to attend the district-sponsored high school prom would be protected by the U.S. Constitution.
Under the Equal Protection Clause, "Government cannot in this context treat someone differently," Falk said. "It requires equality of treatment for people who are otherwise equal."
While churches can exclude same-sex couples from a prom, Falk hopes the community takes the opportunity to learn from this experience and recognize that "equality of treatment for everyone is an important value, even if individuals don't like where it leads."
Sullivan Mayor Clint Lamb said it's a school corporation issue and he had no comment. The city "has no stand on that," he said.
But if people are painting the whole community as being intolerant of those with alternative lifestyles, "I think it's unfair," he said.
A Facebook page, "Support The Sullivan High School Prom For All Students," has sprung up in defense of the school's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender student body. Late Monday afternoon, it already had 6,500 "likes."
The controversy has received national attention, including the Huffington Post online, which noted that LGBT activist/columnist Dan Savage wrote about it in his blog.
He wrote:
"There's no way to stop the haters at Sullivan High School from holding an independent prom for the special bigoted kids. But here's what we can do: we can make a noise so loud enough that all the queer kids at Sullivan High School hear it. Those kids need to know that there are people — a lot of people — who think this [expletive] is wrong," according to an excerpt published in the Huffington Post online.

This is a most interesting love triangle! Laura Rider, wants to become a writer, but currently owns and operates Prairie Wind Farms with her husband Charlie in Hartley, Wisconsin. Everyone in Hartley thinks Charlie is gay, but really, he's quite gifted and enthusiastic about his sexual expertise with women. Then there is Jenna Faroli, a syndicated public radio show host who moves to town because it's in between the radio station and the courthouse where her husband works. Laura has listened to Jenna on the radio for years and worships her, so when she moves to town, she can't wait to become friends.
Laura has told Charlie that she no longer wishes to have a sexual relationship with him and as it turns out, Jenna's husband hasn't shown any desire for her since shortly after they were married, years ago. A chance meeting brings Charlie and Jenna together and they begin corresponding via e-mail. But, Laura is afraid Charlie will alienate her with his frivolity and so writes messages herself, but sends them as though they're from Charlie. Eventually, Jenna and Charlie meet for 'coffee,' and things start to spin out of control.
All the characters undergo various transformations as the story progresses and it was really interesting to see everything come together, or fall apart, if you will. This is quite a departure from The Book of Ruth, and A Map of the World, but I enjoyed this sharply observed domestic satire. Check catalog for availability.

The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Indiana was starting to settle in again at No. 1 after weeks of shuffling at the top of the national rankings in this wildly unpredictable season of college basketball.
Trevor Mbakwe and Minnesota stepped forward, flexed their muscles and did their best to push the Hoosiers out.
Mbakwe had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help the Gophers take down top-ranked Indiana 77-73 on Tuesday night, the seventh time the No. 1 team in The Associated Press' poll has lost a game this season.
"We're trying to do big things so we have to learn from this mistake, but we have to dust it off real fast," Hoosiers star Victor Oladipo said.
Andre Hollins added 16 points for the Gophers (19-9, 7-8 Big Ten), who outrebounded Cody Zeller and the Hoosiers by a whopping 44-30 and solidified their slipping NCAA tournament bid with an emphatic performance against the Big Ten leader. The fans swarmed the court as the last second ticked off, the first time that's happened here in years.
"We weren't physical enough on the glass. That's the bottom line," Indiana coach Tom Crean said.
Zeller was held to nine points with four turnovers for the Hoosiers (24-4, 12-3), who have held the No. 1 ranking for 10 of 17 polls this season including the last four. Oladipo scored 16 points, but 14 of the 17 points by Jordan Hulls came before halftime.
"Cody's certainly capable of a lot," Crean said, "and I think he'll bounce back just fine."
Mbakwe, a sixth-year senior, posted his conference-leading seventh double-double. At 24 years old, he was a man among boys in many ways in this game, dominating both ends of the court when the Gophers needed him most. Minnesota had 23 offensive rebounds.
"We did need to play with a sense of urgency, play with a little edge," Gophers coach Tubby Smith said. "I think Trevor set that tone for us."
No. 17 Wisconsin 77, Nebraska 46: MADISON, Wis. — Reserve Sam Dekker matched his career high with 19 points to lead No. 17 Wisconsin to a 77-46 victory over Nebraska on Tuesday night.
Ryan Evans added 14 points and Ben Brust had 13 for the Badgers (20-8, 11-4 Big Ten).
Dylan Talley had 21 points and eight rebounds for the Cornhuskers (13-15, 4-11), while Brandon Ubel added 10 points.
Wisconsin took control of the game early with a barrage of 3-pointers and then cruised to the blowout as Nebraska's offense disappeared.
The Badgers opened the game 8 for 11 from behind the arc, and five came in a spurt that turned a 10-8 deficit into a 35-14 lead. Dekker accounted for 11 points in the 27-4 run, including three 3s.
Xavier 64, No. 19 Memphis 62: CINCINNATI — Brad Redford hit a long 3-pointer that put Xavier back ahead after wasting a 13-point lead and the Musketeers ended Memphis' 18-game winning streak.
Xavier (16-11) made good on its second straight chance to beat a ranked team at home. The Musketeers blew a 17-point lead before losing to then-No. 24 VCU on Saturday.
The Tigers (24-4), who were outrebounded 45-36, scored only 20 points in the first half. Their winning streak was tied with Akron for longest in the nation.

How many of you have seen the YouTube videos of dogs welcoming their owner's home from the military? I cry almost every time I see them. As I
watched one today, I saw another titled "Reunited After 3.5 Years!" Joplin, the dog, seems so excited and happy to see its owner. The video indicated that the owner had been incarcerated, but it is OK, it doesn't really matter.
After watching, I wondered if they remember everything, or choose to remember only the things they want. Watching the rescue dogs that have come through my house, I have to say that for a while I feel they remember the bad things, but when they are around good things, the bad tends to fade away.
For an example, I have told you about my old foster that would hide between my legs during a walk, or at an event. Now when he is over and we go for a walk he walks out in front with the other dogs with confidence and pride. His tail is up and he prances down the street.
I recently helped a little dog at my work that was stranded during Tropical Storm Debby. He was wet, scared, had been out in it a while, his hair was long and covering his eyes. I put him in my car, called the rescue, we had a groomer come and help him while I was at work.
When I went to pick him up, he jumped on my lap, and put his head on my chest. The next day, I went to the foster's house to visit him, and he again, jumped on my lap, gave me a kiss and laid down on my lap. It was one of the most wonderful feelings. It seemed as though he was saying thank you.
This is a wonderful feeling that happens each time I see one of the dogs that have been in my home as a foster. This helps me believe the dogs do remember and they choose to remember the good things and the good people.
Why can't we as humans do this?

Whats up guys, I just found these boards tonight and glad I did. This is goin to be a long post so hold on. I think I could use some help in my training and dieting, actually I know I can. To give you guys some background Ive been training for about 3 years, and slowed down the last year until I decided not to play college football, and I was told I wasnt big enough. Since september I started back into lifting, most of the training prior to that was all body building basic lifts. Two summers ago I was doing westside and after I got split up from my partners(now training alone) I decided to go back to basic lifting, but kinda surprisingly Ive become fully addicted to working out. I just turned 18 Im 6'4'' 218, and my goal is to be bigger, and more ripped for the summer, and after the summer is over bulk again, then cut for the next summer. Anyway, as of now my split has been simple, and I think it needs to change and I need your guys help, and critizism, anything.
Monday is basically Just chest
Flat Dumbell Press 85 x 10 90 x 8 95 x 6
Declind Dumbell Press 65x10 70x8 75x6
Incline Flies 55x10 60x8 65x 6
Tuesdays back
every two weeks I do heavy deadlifts, Id do 5 sets start at 225 and work up to failure, which so far is a best of 455 which I know I can do better. When Its not a deadlifting day Ill do the fallowing:
Pulldowns 200x10 210x8 220x8
Sitting V bar Row 190x10 200 x 8 210 x 6

So now Basically I wana get better at this sport, and get bigger. Can you guys please let me know What you all think. I eat every two hours 6-7 times a day taking in about 30gs of protien at each sitting, I dont pay attention much to my caloric intake, but Im trying to start forcing myself to cause I understand its important. I also will cycle creatine two weeks on and three weeks off.
Let me know what you guys think, anything will help, diet plans, work out plans, Let me know what you guys think Give me some input. Thanks.
One thing I might mention is doing heavy sets first. Like on your chest day, you are pyramiding up to the 95's for 6. What I might recommend instead is:
I say that because I think could easily rep out those 100's like that. The 3 previous sets are just warm up or acclimation sets. They just get your body ready to lift the heavy weight first. They aren't meant to be working sets or anything but just to get your comfortable with the weight. From there, if those 6 reps are easy or you get more than 6 reps, do another set with the 100's. If not, then bump it down to the 95's for the next set and try to get 6 or 7 there. I think you'll get more out of it that way instead of buidling up to that weight. You won't be wasting energy doing sub-maximal weight.
I tend to try to follow that routine. Other than that your routine looks good. Very similar to one that I grew pretty well with. I might just suggest doing shrugs on back day since it has a bit less volume than your shoulder day. Might even out those days a bit.
On weeks you don't deadlift, I'd toss in a couple of sets of straight leg deadlifts on leg day to hit those hammies a good bit more.
As far as nutrition and stuff goes. I like www.fitday.com. It helps you keep track of what you are eating and how many calories you are consuming. If you are looking to bulk or cut that's important. See about how many calories you are consuming during the day and try to keep it around there from day to day. If you are bulking and not gaining weight then you know to add calories and if you are cutting the same principle applies, cut calories if you aren't losing weight.
Hope some of that helps and good luck in reaching your goals.
What is elite?
"Those who work the hardest often complain the least." -anonymous
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
HY has some great advice on how many reps you should shoot for. Like he said, the lighter weight is just to warm you up and allow you to get comfortable with the heavier weights.
Are you performing any plyometrics? I think these would be a good thing to add in if you want to perform better on the field.

Looks like you are workin out really hard so keep up the good work. I see that you get in about 30 grams of protein at each meal. as long as you are getting a gram and a half of protein per body pound then you are doin great. But my question is, how many carbs do you take in a day and when do you take them in? you need carbs and protein before and after you work out. And do you take a slow release protein before you go to bed at night? you do 33% of your growing at night and if you dont have anything for your muscles to feed on then your lozzing the game. I recomend the protein called Nitrovarin . and there are 2 more supplements you might want to check out and thats glutamine and creatine, both are very natural and safe.

NORMAN — Book: Bad Monkey (2013, Random House, Inc.)
Author: Carl Hiaasen
Why you should read: "Bad Monkey" tells the story of Andrew Yancy, a functioning alcoholic with a laundry list of other character flaws who has been suspended from his job as a detective because of a hilarious act of passion. He now kills his time enjoying the Florida Keys where he lives, and trying to woo his married, sex-offender girlfriend.
His second chance at a career arrives when a severed arm gets snagged by a fishing boat, and Yancy's superior forces him to deal with it so he doesn't have to. As Yancy tries to shut a case that seems to be a simple shark attack, the details he discovers don't add up. His intuition leads him into a vigilante investigation to win his badge back. He quickly discovers that this was no accident. The further he digs, the deeper the case goes, even leading him into the culture of voodoo. That's where the title comes in.
Other than the arm, this scenario may sound a bit cliché for a mystery novel. On the contrary, however, Yancy is a fun and fairly unique character. On the job, he is professional and very ethical. When he isn't, alcohol gets the better of him, which leads to some delightfully unethical mischief.
Hiaasen's style is riddled with dry, subtle and sardonic humor. He wrote this book for a more mature audience, both in content and form. Hiaasen uses a diverse vocabulary and a style that novice readers will probably struggle with. Foul language abounds, and sexuality is a prevalent theme. If none of these things put you off, then "Bad Monkey" is equal parts interesting and comedic. Just don't try and copy any of Yancy's antics.

This month's Player's Handbook 3 debut content introduces the monk. Previous articles discussed why the monk uses the psionic power source, the concept and implementation of the full discipline power structure, and our thoughts at the time of the weapon-using monk and the flurry of blows mechanic. With this debut content, these elements of the monk have been finalized. This debut article refreshes the playtest content, giving D&D Insiders the final, Player's Handbook 3 version of the centered breath build of the monk class, with updated powers and paths.
From high in forbidding mountains to the alleys of a city's meanest district, the ascetic warriors known as monks practice their art. By focusing on their minds and bodies, honing both to near perfection, they master a psionic fighting art that allows them to deliver a punch with the force of a giant's club and to absorb attacks as easily as a heavily armored knight. Monks tap into the psionic potential that rests within themselves, turning that energy further inward to fortify their bodies and sharpen their minds.

Beanie Baby maker tries again with presidential pooch
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
After pulling "Marvelous Malia" and "Sweet Sasha" Beanie Baby dolls inspired by President Barack Obama's daughters due to a complaint from First Lady Michelle Obama, toymaker Ty is selling a new plush toy inspired by the nation's First Puppy — Bo.
Ty said its $4.99 Bo toy debuted on April 16 and sold out within hours of hitting store shelves. A portion of the sale proeeds will go to support animal shelters, the company said.
Bo toys already are on auction on eBay, where one seller is seeking $2,050 for a set of "authenticated" Sasha and Malia Beanie Baby dolls. You can find other Beanie Baby retailers here.
The Obama's search for a puppy entranced the nation and was one of Washington, D.C.'s most closely guarded secrets.
Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog, beame an instant, international celebrity when the family introduced him to the world this week.

Drone program starts up at UNR
Listen to the story
Students at the University of Nevada, Reno will soon be graduating with minors in unmanned autonomous systems.
Members of the industry were recently on campus showcasing the technology and giving students a glimpse of one potential career path: drones, although Kam Leang, who's a professor of mechanical engineering and helped design the minor, says the field includes any vehicle that can fly, walk or swim.
He says already 15 students are sold on the minor.
"My students, their eyes--the whole class lit up. It's something they're interested in, and I think they can all relate to."
The minor bundles together courses in fields like robotics and computer science that will give students some of the experience they will need to develop this technology. Leang says the potential applications for the drones he tests in his lab include monitoring wildfires or detecting toxic chemicals.
Dean of Engineering Manos Maragakis says the minor is key to growing Nevada's drone industry.
"The first thing you have to do is produce the workforce that's needed in an area strategically chosen by Nevada for its economic diversification."
Like many states, Nevada has applied to be one of the federally designated test sites for drones. If that happens, the state and its graduates will likely reap the economic benefits.
Mike Richards, who runs the company Drone America, says the time is right for increasing the collaboration between the university and the industry. He says public sentiment toward drones will evolve as the technology does.
"So when they see they can act as a fire suppressant system, or actually deliver medical supplies or liferafts into emergency regions, then they will start to realize these things are really just a tool."
The minor begins in January 2014.

The 10 Toughest Politicians in Washington Today
Here are the 10 bravest, toughest people on Capitol Hill.
Most-hated.A bunch of babies.Worse than lice and root canals.
Our politicians get assigned a lot of different descriptors, but "brave" and "tough" usually aren't among them. While Whispers has done the requisite Congress-bashing over time, the more tenacious members up on Capitol Hill, in the White House, and running federal agencies also can't be ignored.
Here are the 10 most badass among them:
Tammy Duckworth, Black Hawk pilot
When Duckworth joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 1992, she chose to fly helicopters because it was one of the only combat jobs women were allowed to do. In 2004, she deployed to Iraq, and it was not long before her Army Black Hawk helicopter was hit by a grenade. She lost both her legs and partial use of an arm in the attack.
But she told MSNBC in 2010 that she was "at peace" with her wounds, "because until what would have been my last breath I was trying to do my job as a soldier. I didn't quit trying. I can live with that."
Since being injured Duckworth has run the Chicago marathon, was named an assistant secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and now serves as the representative from Illinois' eighth district. She is the first disabled woman elected to the House of Representatives.
John McCain, torture survivor
Years before his career in the a Senate representing Arizona and two unsuccessful bids for the presidency, McCain was almost killed in a fire onboard the USS Forrestal in July 1967 in Vietnam, where he served as a naval aviator. Three months later, he almost died again, this time getting shot down during a bombing mission over Hanoi, which led to his capture by the North Vietnamese and years of captivity.
During his time as prisoner of war, McCain was interrogated and tortured with beatings while tied with ropes. He was released in 1973, after which he shared the account of his ordeal with U.S. News. "My own plans for the future are to remain in the Navy," he said at the time, but noted: "I hope to serve the government in some capacity." Serve he did, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1982 and has remained on the Hill ever since.
Mary Jo White, terrorist prosecutor
When President Barack Obama nominated White to run the Securities Exchange Commission this month, he warned: "You don't want to mess with Mary Jo." No kidding. A quick list of her wins as prosecutor: she took down mob boss John Gotti (1992), Omar Abdel Rahman, who planned the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, as well as the United Nations and other New York landmarks (1995), Ramzi Yousef, who also plotted the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (1997). She even warded off a suit by Donald Trump, who was upset with the books division of Time Warner for publishing a book on "the art" of being the real estate mogul (2009).
Tim Huelskamp, GOP rebel
Huelskamp made a name for himself last year by slamming his own party's leadership, getting himself kicked off plum assignments to the Budget and Agriculture Committees, and then continuing to act the part of a rebel. During the roll call of Boehner's re-election as speaker, Politico reported Huelskamp defiantly held an iPad with the names of fellow congressmen he expected to vote against Boehner.
One of Huelskamp's favored quotes, according to the National Journal: "If you're getting punished, you must be doing something right."
Tulsi Gabbard, counterterrorism trainer
Gabbard, who like Duckworth is also an Iraq War veteran, served as a company commander with the Hawaii Army National Guard for years. In 2004, she deployed as a medical operations specialist for a tour near Baghdad. And in 2009, she was deployed to Kuwait to train the tough counterterrorism units there.
The Hawaiian congresswoman has also broken all kinds of records, having been the youngest person elected to the Hawaii legislature at 21, and the first Hindu-American elected to the U.S. House.
Bill Nelson, python hunter
The Democratic senator from Florida hates the giant Burmese pythons that have come to plague his state, saying they are poised to hurt the Everglades ecosystem and swallow little children in the process. So earlier this month, the former astronaut spent hours trying to hunt them down—all while armed with handguns, machetes and five airboats, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Nelson didn't get any snakes on hunting day, but he has asked the public to continue where he left off, with a "Python Challenge" that encourages Floridians to hunt and turn in the dead snakes.
On Inauguration Day, Nelson beat off the cold by wearing a hot orange baseball cap with a camouflage visor, which his spokesperson told the Times he uses for quail hunting.
Rahm Emanuel, wielder of dead fish and knives
Emanuel became known as Obama's attack dog during his time in the White House, and has kept the reputation as mayor of Chicago. But he earned the tough reputation long before that. According to Foreign Policy Magazine, Emanuel once reportedly sent a pollster who angered him a 2 1/2 foot decomposing fish in a mahogany box as a warning not to screw up again. And the magazine reports that after Bill Clinton first won the presidency, Emanuel supposedly began yelling the names of those who were deemed enemies while stabbing the table and shouting "Dead! Dead! Dead!"
The picture of Emanuel's toughness isn't complete without the story behind the missing finger. After cutting it while working at a fast food restaurant as a high school senior, he chose to go swimming in Lake Michigan instead of to the hospital. The decision led to an infection that nearly killed him. Emanuel pulled through, part of his finger didn't.
Hillary Clinton, tough as nails madame secretary
Love her or hate her, Clinton has firmly established herself as a tough secretary of state, starting with the viral photo from "Texts from Hillary" that showed her texting in sunglasses while on a military plane. Other photos that projected the image of cool: her vigorous dancing in South Africa, and unwinding in Colombia with a beer. The secretary also knows how to put interviewers in their place, answering a question in 2010 in Krzgystan about which designers she preferred with: "Would you ever ask a man that question?" Interviewer: "Probably not." She also deflected attacks from members of Congress during a hearing on Benghazi last week, leading the women's website Feministing to create a page of gifs of her toughest facial expressionsfrom the day.
Dianne Feinstein, gun slayer
The California senator today is known for pushing legislation on an assault weapons ban, but few know her motivation behind it. The story goes back all the way to 1978, when Feinstein was president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Just after she announced she would not seek re-election, Feinstein found a slumped Supervisor Harvey Milk, who had just been shot five times by ex-supervisor Dan White. (Milk is famous for being the first openly gay person elected to public office in the U.S.) When Feinstein checked Milk for a pulse, her finger inadvertently entered Milk's bullet wound, and police had to hold her up as she left the room.
In tears, she told the public that day what had happened. But she rarely talks about it today, telling the San Francisco Chronicle recently: "I still have a hard time returning to it... I know what happened; I lived those times, and I've tried to learn from them in terms of the kind of public servant I am, and that's really enough for me."
Kyrsten Sinema, woman of firsts
The Arizona congresswoman spent part of her childhood living in an abandoned gas station after her stepfather had lost his job, a building with no electricity and no running water. She brought that difficult experience to her work as a social worker, and has now brought it to Capitol Hill—along with a willingness to buck convention. Despite being raised a conservative Mormon, Sinema recently became the first member of Congress to describe her religion as "none," and the first openly bisexual member of the House.

Hospital to implement stricter visitation rules
By The Telegram
By The Telegram
St. Catherine Hospital is implementing stricter visitation guidelines to protect against the spread of communicable disease like influenza to patients, staff and visitors.
Like other hospitals across the country, St. Catherine is implementing stricter guidelines for the next several months. Effective immediately, the following guidelines will apply:
* All visitors are asked to stop at the collaboration station before going to a patient's room to be taught hand hygiene and specific precautions.
* No visitors younger than 12 allowed.
* Visitors who have symptoms including fever, body aches, coughing, sore throat, runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea are asked to stay home.
Scott Taylor, hospital president and CEO, said in a press release that the precautions are based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are intended to protect the community as a whole. The hospital's goal is to decrease the high risk of exposure to an extremely communicable disease in all patient care areas.
"We understand how hard it is for family members when a loved one is hospitalized. However, we believe that as a family member, you would want the hospital to do everything possible to protect and care for your loved one," Taylor said in a press release.
Flu activity will be closely monitored using information from the CDC, as well as the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The guidelines will stay in place until flu activity decreases to a low level.
Patient email is available through the hospital's website, www.stcath-hosp.org for friends and family members as an alternative to visitation. Email is delivered daily.

Your assets must be managed both financially and physically. By adding a bar code asset label, you will add accuracy and efficiency to properly track and control your assets.PanatrackerGP for Fixed Assets leverages your Microsoft Dynamics GP Fixed Asset module. Using a handheld computer, PanatrackerGP provides an easy-to-use interface to quickly scan the asset tag to update who has it or where it is located without direct access to Dynamics GP. Our unique platform allows you to synchronize details to the mobile computer and take it with you.PanatrackerGP supports capturing asset information for the following tasks:• Add New Asset Record: Tag and scan a unique asset identification label for each asset and capture key physical details about that asset. Automatically create the corresponding asset record in GP where the financial data can then be added.• Update Asset: Update the asset record assignments for location, custodian, master asset ID, or the user definable fields used for additional asset tracking.• Assign Asset Label ID: The Asset Label ID is defined in Dynamics GP as the related bar code asset ID to be used for a physical inventory for example. This may be the same as the Asset ID. PanatrackerGP uses the Asset Label ID for all asset-related transactions. For existing assets, a Label ID may need to be assigned or a new Label ID may need to be assigned.• Physical Inventory – Validate Asset: This transaction validates the current asset location. An asset discovered in the incorrect location can be automatically updated with the correct current location during the validation. Your database of Fixed Assets already exists in GP. Using PanatrackerGP allows the company to take control of what it owns, who has it, and where it is.

Fortunately, all the speculation will be moot in a couple of weeks when they can skate before the same panel of judges on the same ice. That's what will count.
Fortunately, all the speculation will be moot in a couple of weeks when they can skate before the same panel of judges on the same ice. That's what will count.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
I'd love to see Adelina pull it together and skate well. She had a flawed but solid debut on the GP (3rd in both of her assignments) before winning nationals and then bombing at the YOG but finishing 2nd. It's been a good year for her medal-wise, but last year she was undefeated so it's a bit off of her standard. Her confidence seems to have taken a hit but I really hope she gets it back. She is my favorite of the Russian ladies: gorgeous lines and presentation, extension, attitude, huge jumps and that certain spark. I'm dying to see her get some better choreography though (her SP is very nice but her LP leaves a lot to be desired).
If she nails her jumps, she's pretty much unbeatable. Liza has better lutz technique but Adelina's jumps are much bigger, her spins are better, her ice coverage is better and she leaves a better overall impression on the ice. Julia's difficulty isn't as high nor are her skating skills...but in another year or two, she'd be the main challenger for Adelina (though I hope Julia ditches the Morosov choreography and finds someone else).
Just like last year, this year's jr worlds will be more entertaining than senior worlds IMO. The talent is so deep on the junior level: the Russian Triumvirate (Adelina, Liza, Julia), Zijun Li of China is wonderful (great speed, tight jumps with good ice coverage, the best spins in the field behind Julia, and a lovely lyrical style to her skating); then we have the famed Gracie Gold as well.
The competition is going to be fierce. I have no idea who will medal but I'd like to see Adelina and Zijun on the podium...no telling how it will shake out though.
Is there a consensus that the medal threats (in no particular order) will be - Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Lipnitskaya, Gold and Li?
Any Japanese ladies a threat?
I really don't keep track of the Jr Ladies, but is there really no serious Japanese contender for the podium
That hasn't happened for a while?
That is a sad thing :
Japan's 3 JW ladies' entries are posted in the 2012 Junior Worlds forum in Kiss and Cry as follows: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=81745
Miu Sato (S5/J6), Satoko Miyahara (S6/J1), Risa Shoji (S7/J3/JGPF-6/YOG-6)
Last edited by Sylvia; 02-08-2012 at 07:28 PM. Reason: To add link to JW entries/entry numbers thread
I don't think any of the Japanese women will challenge this year, but I say give Miyahara a couple of years...her SS are fabulous but she's so freakin' tiny, people don't really notice. She's like 12 or 13 right now. Hopefully she'll survive her growth spurt because I really think she could be something special.
My favorite of those three is actually Sato. Hope she does well! She's very inconsistent however.
At JGP Estonia, Gracie skated a clean program except for popping the 3Lo:
3z+3t, 2a+3t, 1lo, 3f, 3z, 2a+2t, 3s.
At Nationals, Gracie's one mistake was a fall on the 2a:
3z+3t, 2a+3t, 3lo, 3f, 3z, 2a(fall), 3s+2t
Gracie added the 2t she normally adds to the second 2a, to the 3s.
So Gracie got less points for the 1lo (+0.5) at the JGP than she did for the 2a with a fall at Nationals, even with the -1 deduction for the fall (+1.13 overall).
Also, Gracie was credited with three L4 spins and L4 fw at Nationals, but only two L4 spins and an L2 spin and L3 fw at the JGP.
So Gracie did better at Nationals than at the JGP.
And I don't see any lack of consistency in these two performances. Both were very good.

Lets wait and see what happens. If she starts putting together some clean programs with better artistry and starts winning some major international competitions, fair enough. But to start saying that she will CRUSH (i.e. the title of this thread) the competition based upon what she has done to date (with programs that were not even clean and which highlight a lack of consistency - having to go for big jumps to make an impact as they are her only weapon, and not surprisingly failing on some of them as most of those who rely purely on jumping ability find) is well over the top.
If Gold is labeled inconsistent because of one mistake in each of her two recent FSs, then I guess the Russian ladies are horribly inconsistent as well:
Sotnikova fell on 3z attempts in the SP at both Cup of China and Cup of Russia. She also popped a lutz in the FS at Cup of China and and a 3f attempt in the FS at Cup of Russia. At the Youth Olympic games FS, she URd the 3lo in her 3z+3lo combo and popped the flip and the loop. She also has a major flutz.
Tuktamisheva doubled a loop and stepped out of the 2a in the SP at the GPF. In the FS she double-footed the 3t in her 2a+3t. At the Youth Olympic Games FS, she fell on the 3f and popped the axel in her 2a+3t combo.
I never said anything about Gold "crushing" anyone. The poster who started this thread said that. But Gold's faults are being magnified beyond all recognition while the Russian ladies are held up as models of consistency and impossible to beat.
I think if you polled the people who have posted in this thread, an overwhelming majority of them would likely disagree with the (trollish) title of this thread.

After tearful goodbyes Friday morning, thousands of onlookers watched as Honor Guards marched by the Hylton Memorial Chapel, a bagpiper played "Taps" and United States Marines fired their guns. Then, Prince William County bid a final farewell to an officer who by all accounts, was one of its finest.
Countless officers and firefighters from jurisdictions all over Virginia raised their hands in a salute as a dispatch operator's voice sounded over the speakers: "Prince William calling motor 4887. This is the final call for motor 4887. Officer Chris Yung, end of watch, December 31, 2012. May you rest in peace. Prince William clear. 1202."
Officer Chris Yung was officially cleared from duty.
Yung, 35, died Dec. 31 in the line of duty as he drove his motorcycle to a traffic accident. Authorities said that he was driving through a green light on Nokesville Road in Bristow, with his sirens and lights on, when a 2001 Dodge Caravan crossed into his path. The investigation into the accident continues.
Photos: A Final Farewell for Officer Chris Yung
At the funeral Friday, Yung's family and friends spoke of "a special person with a big heart," a "gentleman-like attitude" and "big smile." Yung was known for his attention to detail, and always kept his motorcycle polished.
"He always strived to represent the department in an honorable way," Acting Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard told those present.
After serving in the Marine Corps, Yung, a veteran of the war in Iraq, moved on to the Prince William County Police Department. Not long afterward, his wife, Robin, and his brother Dale also joined the department. Chris Yung quickly impressed his superiors as someone who would go the extra mile to help, said Barnard.
"A few years ago we received a message of thanks from a woman who had been in distress with her disabled vehicle off a very busy road. Off duty, Chris stopped and helped the woman," Barnard said. "Not only that, but the road was so busy, he had to go past the vehicle, turn around and return to provide her and her daughter assistance."
That kind of attitude was not lost on his friends and family.
"He was a friend to all," said Dale Yung, through tears. "He was more than a brother. He was my role model. He was the reason I became a police officer."
Video: Funeral Procession for Chris Yung
The funeral followed several difficult days for Prince William County officers. Yung's line-of-duty death is only the third in the department's history.
"To the Prince William County community, continue to support your first responders. Continue to pray for your first responders. Always remember Chris Yung and his sacrifice. I know we will," Barnard said.
After the funeral service, a Marine presented military honors to Yung's widow. She was then escorted to a car with their three young children. A police vehicle pulled a trailer that held an empty motorcycle. Hundreds of cars and motorcycles followed in a long, winding procession line that continued across the county.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Law Enforcement United, P.O. Box 36, Lightfoot, VA 23090.

Political Science
A Political Science major equips students with unique knowledge and skills that can lead to success in a wide range of areas. It prepares students for careers in teaching, government and politics, law, and for graduate student in a wide range of professional and academic areas. In addition to the goal of preparing students for a specific profession, it teaches lessons in citizenship and statesmanship and seeks to encourage the moral, intellectual, civic, social and spiritual maturity to accompany a life well-lived. The discipline of Political Science also teaches students to critically assess a host of difficult problems and aims at finding practical solutions to some of the world's most urgent social, economic and political problems. In short, political science will give students the knowledge and tools to contribute to their community and world in important ways.
The decision to offer a Political Science Program at Andrews University is anchored in the defensible Christian perspective, as expressed by Ellen White:
"What is the aim and purpose of your life? Are you ambitious for education that you may have a name and a position in the world? Have you thoughts that you dare not express that you may one day stand upon the summit of intellectual greatness; that you may sit in deliberative and legislative councils, and help to enact laws for the nation?
There is nothing wrong in these aspirations. You may every one of you make the mark. You should be content with no average attainments. Aim high, and spare no pains to reach the standard." (E. G. White, Fundamentals of Christian Education, p. 29.)
BA or BS: Political Science-42 Credits
PLSC104, 120, 225 or 230, 370, 425, 480, 498
Electives: Remaining credits chosen in consultation with the advisor. A maximum of 12 credits of PLSC478 and PLSC490 may be applied to the major.
The Major Field Achievement Test in Political Science must be taken by all majors in their senior year.
Students seeking secondary certification must complete HIST204 and 205, which they may apply to the major; in addition to major requirements, secondary certification students must also complete HIST459, GEOG110, and ECON225.
Minor in Political Science-21 Credits
PLSC104 and 18 credits to be elected from upper-division political science courses. Students desiring secondary certification must also complete HIST204, 205, 459, GEOG110, and ECON255.

GOP in Congress has only one goal
With the election right around the corner, many people dislike (and even hate) Barack Obama and are quick to blame him for all the difficulties facing our country. There is enough blame to go around, and Congress should accept their share. Although they have worked hard, it has not been for the benefit of our country. They have been diligent, dedicated and determined in their effort to reach their one and only goal.
Since their victory in 2010, Republicans in Congress has declared loudly, clearly and often that their only goal is to "bring down Obama," and their "main focus" is to make him "meet his Waterloo" and to make sure he will be a "one-term president." What a lofty and honorable goal for those elected to work for the people.
This Congress has been oblivious to their 12 percent approval rating. They appear on all the networks, reciting, "jobs, jobs, jobs." They then stand tall on the floor of Congress and proudly filibuster, filibuster, filibuster. They seem to think that words speak louder than actions. They are "willing to sink the ship just to destroy the captain." Not my words, but true! If Congress cares about the economy, the jobless, the homeless, the hungry, and the poor, that care isn't apparent. Their main concern, which is apparent, is to get the president out of the White House.
We are being led to believe that voter fraud is running rampant throughout our country. In my lifetime, I don't recall any bold, black headlines, public outrage or breaking newsflashes about all the fraud in our elections. So why now? Why are some states changing the voter rights law for this particular election? What's so different about this election? Oh, I get it.
For the GOP to make these changes at this specific time seems suspicious at best. Why were changes not made for the last election? Or the one before that, or the election eight or 12 years ago?
Putting restrictions in place that prevent hundreds of thousands of people from voting is suppression. It might even be called manipulation. If a party fears it might lose by following the old law, then change the law. Regardless of the stated reason or intentions for changing the voter rights law, the result is suppression.
A representative from Pennsylvania recently declared on national television that the voter rights law "will allow Romney to win Pennsylvania."
If Romney wins the election as a result of these changes, it will not be a proud victory.
Are we becoming a government of the few, by the few and for the few? Do we have reason to fear for our democracy?

The holidays are here (where did the last 11 months go?) and the national "Ride Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdown on impaired driving is in full swing. More than a decade ago, I survived a crash caused by a drunk driver with a .22 blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which is nearly three times the legal limit. I have no tolerance for motorists who opt to drink and drive, and am a staunch supporter of not only stepped-up, but year-round enforcement.
While some argue this annual enforcement effort isn't necessary (I've even heard detractors say it should be illegal), drunk driving remains a serious problem on our state and nation's roadways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 32,885 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2010 and 31 percent of those fatalities involved an alcohol impaired driver. In New Jersey, 24 percent or 152 of the motor vehicle fatalities that occurred in 2011 (627) involved alcohol.
The holiday season is particularly dangerous. During December when we look forward to celebrating with family, friends and colleagues, an average of 25 people die in impaired-driving crashes each day. A NHTSA review of December 2010 crash data shows that over two-thirds or 71 percent of those killed that month were involved in alcohol-impaired crashes where a driver tested at a BAC of .15 and above.
The good news is that teens are getting the message about the dangers of drinking and driving thanks to DARE, SADD, MADD, and many other educational initiatives, and are far more likely than their parents to refrain from this unsafe behavior. I'm not saying teens don't drink, but many recognize that it's safer to designate a driver, stay the night or call a friend or cab for a ride, then to get behind the wheel after imbibing.
On the other hand, young adults—21 to 34 years of age—are among those at greatest risk for driving impaired. And young males, in particular, are more likely to be involved in alcohol-related fatal crashes (78 percent in December 2010, says NHTSA). A closer look at New Jersey crash data supports these findings with male drivers more than twice as likely as females to be involved in a fatal alcohol-related crash.
Whether you have a teen or young adult driver in your house, I urge you to regularly discuss the dangers of impaired driving and back that up by being a good role model. That means if you drink alcohol, designate a driver or arrange for another way to get home. As I've noted in previous blog posts, parents' behavior has a significant impact on what their children do starting at an early age, so be the driver you want your teen to be.
I also urge you to impress upon all the drivers in your household the potential for serious injury and loss of life not only to themselves but others if they choose to drink and operate a motor vehicle. (And be sure to reinforce with those not yet driving the dangers of riding with an intoxicated driver.) Also, take the time to review the consequences associated with breaking the law—possible jail time, loss of driving privilege, higher insurance rates, thousands of dollars in fines and penalties as well as court costs and attorney fees, vehicle repairs, lost wages due to time off from work, and the potential for law suits that could result in serious financial hardship to your family.
Be persistent and regularly remind them of the awesome responsibility that comes with driving. Additionally, point out the importance of not letting a friend or family member get behind the wheel after drinking. If you see an impaired driver on the road, pull over to a place of safety and call law enforcement. Your actions may save someone's life, while inaction could cost a life.

Put the words "Internet studies" into a Google search and one of the top choices will be the Berglund Center for Internet Studies at Pacific University in Oregon.
After 10 years on the Forest Grove campus, the Center has developed an international following and is one of the most prominent institutions in the U.S. related to the study of the Internet and its impact on society, according to Jeffrey Barlow, the director, and Theresa Floyd, the program coordinator. Barlow is also a professor of history at Pacific. The Center.
Founded with an endowment in 2000 by alumni Mary (B.S. '58) and James (O.D. '60) Berglund, the center provides a host of programs related to the impact of electronic media and the Internet on all aspects of life.
Housed in the basement of the Berglund Hall, the center provides a variety of avenues to Pacific students, faculty and staff and other interested people from the around the world to study and research the Internet's impact.
The center sponsors six Roundtable presentations every year, bringing experts on some of the Internet's recent developments to campus to speak. Last year's presentations included topics such as cloud computing, social media and how businesses can use it, use of the Kindle reader in the classroom, and adoption of health information and electronic technology, among others.
One of the center's missions, notes Floyd, is to 'offer students the experiences, in a professional environment, that they wouldn't get anywhere else." Each year, an internship award of $5,000 is divided among four students who are offered an opportunity to explore various aspects of the Internet.The award is renewable for four years so there are usually three to four student fellows in residence each year.
In addition, the center annually employs around 15 students from many different academic disciplines. They work on several different projects, including publication of the Interface, the Berglund Center's online journal, as well as videos of the Roundtable presentations, DVDs, on-demand book publication and other projects.
Over the last 10 years, more than 100 students have been involved with the center. As a result of their work, many have gone on to professions in organizations such as the National Security Agency, Google, Intel and Oregon Public Broadcasting, among many others, notes Barlow.
The Berglund Center also offers fellowships for staff and faculty for research related to the use of the Internet. Some 21 fellows have been funded in the last 10 years. Information on the recipients and their works can be found at http://bcis.pacificu.edu/journal/fellows.
Besides his position as director of the Berglund Center, Barlow teaches Asian history for the College of Arts & Sciences and holds the Matsushita Chair for Asian Studies. His expertise and relationships with China has brought many interesting opportunities and projects to the center.
"We are the first in the world to do online classes in China in real time," says Barlow. The Center has a relationship with Wenzhou Medical College and Barlow says that in the future, the center hopes to facilitate real-time online courses in business and health science disciplines.
Graduating students from Pacific have taughtEnglish in China through a program facilitated by Barlow. In the last five years some 30 graduates have participated in the program, says Barlow. In addition,through the relationships crafted in the program, six Chinese scholars have come to Pacific to participate in the master's of education program offered by the College of Education.

I was pleased to read in the July 5 article "19 racing turtles sidelined in New Berlin" that the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission enforced the state's wildlife protection laws by banning wood and eastern box turtles from competing at New Berlin's annual turtle derby.
Before last year's race, the state agency told the event's sponsor that state law prohibits wild collection of these rare turtles. Despite this warning (which received extensive media coverage), about half of the turtles brought to this year's event were illegally collected.
Many people mistakenly believe that no harm is done as long as turtles are released back into the wild after the races. But races can expose turtles to deadly diseases, which then can spread to wild populations when turtles are released. Of particular concern is ranavirus, which has been confirmed in Pennsylvania in wild eastern box turtles, a popular yet illegal entrant for New Berlin's race.
Our nation's turtles are now dying off at alarming rates never-before seen, and turtle races strain native turtle populations that are already under terrible pressure from habitat loss, road kill and other threats. While many of the threats facing wild turtles are difficult problems to solve, the threat posed by turtle races has an easy fix: just stop using wild caught turtles.
Many small towns across the country have replaced their turtle races with festivals that use creative substitutes for wild caught turtles, such as river races using rubber turtles. Other races bring in turtles from turtle farms, to which the turtles are returned.
I understand that New Berlin's turtle race is a longstanding tradition that provides an opportunity for family fun in the outdoors. That tradition can continue but it should not involve wild caught turtles.
We need to do what's best for our turtles, before it's too late.
Collette Adkins Giese, Minneapolis, Minn.

Watch on Fox
About Rake
RAKE, a character-driven drama based on the Australian nominee for Best Television Drama series of the same name, follows the comedic and chaotic life of criminal defense lawyer KEEGAN DEANE (Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear, 'Little Miss Sunshine', 'The Kennedys').
On a single day, Keegan Deane is described as many things. His ex-wife-calls him 'unreliable'; his son calls him a 'pal'; most judges think he's 'an outrage'; the IRS calls him a 'defendant'; and to his former dealer, he's simply a 'tragic loss'.
Brilliant, frustratingly charming and with zero filter, Keegan is one of life's great addicts. His staggering lack of discretion and inability to self-censor land him the cases that nobody else will touch, but behind that lies a resolute optimism and belief in justice that fuel his dogged determination to defend those who seem beyond redemption. He always tries to do the right thing, but at the same time struggles to save himself from the many self-destructive elements that plague his own life, such as his overindulgence of various excesses, including women and gambling.
Each morning, Keegan tends to wake up bruised – physically, emotionally, spiritually. Usually it's a combination of them all. Then it's out into the world – onto the battleground of Keegan's day.
