Jury selection has been delayed in the federal tax-evasion trial of an influential Cook County commissioner.
Victor Henderson, an attorney for William Beavers, was ill Monday. The trial is slated to begin Tuesday.
William Beavers is accused of diverting $226,000 from campaign coffers for personal use without reporting it as income on his returns. Prosecutors say the 77-year-old Democrat spent much of the money on casino gambling.
Beavers has denied the charges.
One of Beavers' defense attorneys, Sam Adam Jr., said his client is anxious to tell his side of the story.
"I'm telling you this man wants to get up there, should get up there and tell what exactly happened. At the end of that, you will see not only should he be acquitted, but will," Adam said.
Potential jurors will fill out questionnaires and then face one-by-one questioning in court by the presiding judge, James Zagel.
Among the questions on the questionnaires is whether would-be jurors were ever audited by the IRS. Another question asks if they have strong feelings about gambling.
Once they're impaneled, attorneys would deliver their opening statements. The trial is expected to last about two weeks.

The U.N. Security Council has imposed two rounds of sanctions on North Korea following its nuclear tests, and a 2009 resolution orders the North not to conduct any launch using ballistic missile technology.
The council condemned a failed North Korean launch in April and ordered seizure of assets of three North Korean state companies linked to financing, exporting and procuring weapons and missile technology.
White House responds
The White House says North Korea's launch of a long-range ballistic missile is a "highly provocative act that threatens regional security."
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor is calling the launch "another example of North Korea's pattern of irresponsible behavior."
In a statement released late Tuesday, Vietor says the U.S. "remains vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations."
The United Nations, the U.S., South Korea and others see the launch as a cover for a test of technology for missiles that could be used to strike another nation with a nuclear warhead.
Vietor says the U.S. will work with other nations and the U.N Security Council "to pursue appropriate action" against North Korea.

Under Security Council resolutions, nations are also barred from buying or selling weapons with North Korea, a key source of revenue for its authoritarian government.
North Korea has capable short- and medium-range missiles, but long-range launches in 1998, 2006, 2009 and in April of this year ended in failure. North Korea is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for at least half a dozen bombs, according to U.S. experts. In 2010 it revealed a uranium enrichment program that could provide a second source of material for nuclear weapons.
Six-nation negotiations on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for aid fell apart in early 2009.
A February deal for the United States to provide 240,000 metric tons of food aid in exchange for a freeze in nuclear and missile activities collapsed after the North's April launch.
North Korea said it chose a safe flight path so debris won't endanger neighboring countries. Government spokesman Osamu Fujimura said Wednesday that no debris hit Japanese territory.

Can A Gastric Bypass Procedure Have A Positive Impact On Diabetes?
- Volume 19 - Issue 7 - July 2006
- 6138 reads
- 0 comments
The complications stemming from obesity have been well documented. In recent years, the popularity of the gastric bypass procedure has increased as a method of combating obesity. As the literature shows, gastric bypass has a positive effect on diabetes itself as well as diabetic neuropathy. However, the surgery is not without its risks and the entire health care team must be aware of both the benefits and downsides.
According to data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, two-thirds of the United States population is overweight and 30.5 percent of people are obese.1 This may lead to other commonly prevalent dilemmas including hypertension, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This becomes a difficult task with the morbidly obese patients with diabetes who present with foot ulcers and have other foot deformities such as a Charcot foot.
When it comes to people who are overweight, the body mass index (BMI) may range between 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2. For those who are obese, the BMI is greater than or equal to 30.0 kg/m2. These numbers are for adults who are age 20 and over. Among people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, 67 percent have a BMI greater than 27 and 46 percent have a BMI greater than 30.2 An estimated 70 percent of diabetes risk in the U.S. can be attributed to excess weight.2
Should You Refer A Patient For Gastric Bypass?
Given that podiatrists may treat lower extremity dilemmas in obese patients with diabetes, some patients may warrant an appropriate referral for a gastric bypass procedure.
In 1991, the National Institute of Health (NIH) consensus conference established guidelines and indications for surgical management of severe obesity.3,4 These include:
• a BMI equal to or greater than 40 kg/m2 or a BMI equal to or greater than 35 kg/m2 with significant comorbidities; and
• patients must have demonstrated previous dietary attempts at weight loss that have been ineffective.3
Also keep in mind that various multidisciplinary consults usually precede a patient undergoing a gastric bypass procedure. This multidisciplinary team may include a nutritionist, psychiatrist/psychologist, internist, cardiologist and various support groups.
How The Gastric Bypass Procedure Has Evolved Over The Years
At the end of the 1800s and early 1900s, surgeons performed bypass on patients with peptic ulcers and also utilized the procedure as a treatment for stomach cancer. Obesity surgery began in 1954 at the University of Minnesota with the empiric use of intestinal bypass.3,5 Complications of intestinal bypass led to overgrowth of bacteria in the bypassed area of the bowel, kidney stone formation and cirrhosis. In 1966, researchers introduced gastric bypass at the University of Iowa with the belief that this surgery would restrict the intake of food without creating the complications of malabsorption that surgeons had observed with intestinal bypass.3
Today, the most frequent gastric bypass operation in the U.S. is the Roux en-Y gastric bypass, which Giffen introduced in 1977.3,5 Alkaline gastritis from early gastric bypass led to the Roux en-Y reconstruction. Other gastric bypass or bariatric bypass procedures are the vertical banded gastroplasty, the biliopancreatic diversion and the Lap-Band. Over the last decade, the popularity of gastric bypass has greatly increased since Wittgrove and Clark introduced laparoscopic techniques in 1994.3,7

Obama Reportedly Agrees to Allow Rich Bigger Tax Cut Than Middle Class
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
David Axelrod, the senior adviser to President Barack Obama, says that the White House has conceded to Republicans in giving into tax cuts for the wealthy, a legacy of a Bush-era policy to reduce federal taxes for various income classes. He doesn't, however, say that the rich should enjoy the tax cuts forever, but the decision to agree to a temporary extension of the cuts may be a moot point, because it likely will simply push the issue to a future presidential term.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, which the website described as "candid," Axelrod served news progressives will be less than excited to hear.
"We have to deal with the world as we find it," Axelrod said during the interview. "The world of what it takes to get this done."
Getting what done appears to mean extending tax cuts for those who make less than $250,000 by keeping the tax rate for those who make more nearly five percent less.
"There are concerns," he added, that Congress will continue to extend the tax cuts indefinitely, and keep pushing the ball to the next president's court by making the cuts temporary, as Bush did. "But I don't want to trade away security for the middle class in order to make that point."
Using Republicans' language on the cuts, Axelrod referred to the ending of the tax cuts, which were designed to be temporary and expire at the end of this year, as a "tax increase." Between 2001 and 2003, President George W. Bush, along with a Republican-led Congress, reduced income taxes across the board, though the decrease was more significant at the lowest and highest tax bracket.
"Between 2001 and 2003, the Bush administration instituted a federal tax cut for all taxpayers," Wikipedia notes, according to the Brookings Institution. "Among other changes, the lowest income tax rate was lowered from 15% to 10%, the 27% rate went to 25%, the 30% rate went to 28%, the 35% rate went to 33%, and the top marginal tax rate went from 39.6% to 35%."
"We don't want that tax increase to go forward for the middle class," Axelrod was quoted as saying. He didn't explain why the Administration believes that those in the highest income tax bracket should get more relief.
"Although the president 'took the position he felt was the right position' -- favoring a continuation of the cuts only for families earning up to $250,000 -- Axelrod portrayed this 'optimal' stance as unrealistic in the lame-duck Congress that begins next week," Huffington's Sam Stein and Howard Fineman wrote.
Axelrod also dished on President Barack Obama's new healthcare law, saying the president would veto any threats to repeal it.
"I'm not going to prejudge what they are going to do," Axelrod remarked of Republican opposition. "But I will tell you this -- we are firm in our commitment, we are willing to work with people to improve this plan we are not going to stand for those who want to undermine it and destroy it."
"The notion of spending the next two years fighting over this, I think, is a complete misreading of what the American people want," he added. "They want us to focus on the economy. They don't want us to fight the battles of the last two years. But we are not going to stand by and go back to allowing people with preexisting conditions to be discriminated against, go back to the situation where people can be thrown off their insurance simply because they become seriously ill or you can't get on your parents' insurance after the age of 20. There are so many things that are just central."

With the economy in ruins and the upcoming inauguration threatening to steal attention away from L.A., there were rumblings of a scaled-back Golden Globes ceremony. But after last January's cancellation due to the writers' strike, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association promised not to skimp on the glamour this year, and plenty of A-listers in attendance played along. Maggie Gyllenhaal wore leopard-print Lanvin; Drew Barrymore channeled Marilyn Monroe in Dior couture and an effervescent blonde bouffant; Cameron Diaz chose one of the night's few bright colors when she donned hot-pink Chanel couture; and Marisa Tomei went with a chic Oscar de la Renta ensemble.
Others played it if not safe then certainly classic in tried-and-true black or white. Funny girls Tina Fey and Amy Poehler went dark, while Eva Mendes and Sandra Bullock vamped for the cameras in palest Christian Dior. But gray, a subdued hue rarely seen on the red carpet and perhaps a nod of sorts to the recession, was the sleeper hit of the evening. Opting for variations on that theme were everyone from Salma Hayek in retro Bottega Veneta to Blake Lively in a very snug, strapless Nina Ricci number.
There was nothing subdued about Kate Winslet when she won her second Globe of the night for her leading role in Revolutionary Road. (Earlier, she took the Best Supporting Actress statuette for The Reader.) "Please wrap up? I am nowhere near wrapping up," she chided the gods of the teleprompter. Her strapless jet Yves Saint Laurent gown, accessorized with a Chopard diamond pendant brooch at the waist, was every inch the winner as well.

Forget the cliff; beware the ceiling
For all the worry, the fiscal cliff was just a preview of the debt-ceiling ruckus ahead. Here's why that could be worse for investors -- and how to get through it.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
The cliffhanger of a fiscal cliff deal was just a dress rehearsal for the late-January/early-February battle over raising the debt ceiling. This time it's worse -- and more worrisome for investors. This one could really move global markets -- and move them fast and hard, in the not-so-distant future. Here are three reasons why, plus a strategy for getting past it.
The crises ahead
This time the damage from missing the deadline for a deal sets in on Day One. The negative effects of not reaching a fiscal cliff deal on taxes and spending on Jan. 1 or thereabouts was never going to be immediate. In the fiscal cliff crisis, tax rates indeed would have gone up immediately, but tax payments would have increased gradually and spending cuts would have been phased in over time. The damage to the U.S. economy from a fiscal cliff failure would have been major -- perhaps enough to send the economy back into recession -- but it would have been felt only gradually. That's why economists, Wall Street pundits and politicians kept saying that it was possible to go over the cliff and still fix the problem before the economy suffered major damage. (This was the so-called bungee-cord strategy.)
That's not true of the debt-ceiling crisis. This time, the damage is likely to be big and immediate, and some of it won't be easily reversed.
This crisis is really three crises in one:
- Crisis No. 1 is the raising of the debt ceiling. If Congress doesn't raise the current $16.4 trillion debt ceiling, the Treasury can't increase net borrowing to pay the country's bills. In practice, the Treasury has ways to manage the country's debt levels so that it can pay U.S. obligations until, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, mid-February. After that, the Treasury would have to decide to pay some bills and not others. You can bet it would continue to pay the interest on U.S. debt, even if it had to raid other budget lines to do so. Default on U.S. debt obligations would throw the U.S. and the rest of the world into financial market chaos.
Jim Jubak
- Crisis No. 2 hits shortly after the Treasury runs out of room to finagle. The fiscal cliff deal put off $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts divided equally between defense spending and domestic discretionary spending -- this is what's called the sequester -- that were set to gradually take effect after Jan. 1, according to the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which ended the most recent battle over the debt ceiling. (About $100 billion in automatic cuts would go into effect in the 2013 fiscal year that ends on Sept. 30.) The Jan. 1 fiscal cliff deal postponed the cuts until March 1. So, sometime in the next six to seven weeks, Congress will have to resolve the automatic budget cuts it has failed to address in a meaningful way in the past 18 months or so. Otherwise, federal spending gets whacked by $100 billion this year -- with more cuts to come. That's certainly enough to take a bite out of first-quarter growth in gross domestic product that economists already fear could dip to a rate of just 1%.
- Crisis No. 3 comes close on the heels of Crisis No. 2. The September 2012 continuing resolution that authorized spending by the federal government expires March 27. Unable to pass an actual budget or the appropriation and spending bills that go with it, our government in Washington has been operating under a continuing resolution that authorized spending for the first half of fiscal 2013. Unlike a failure to raise the debt ceiling -- which would lead to the government paying some bills and not others -- failure to extend the continuing resolution would mean that the federal government wouldn't have authority to spend any money. Here, we're looking at something that would actually shut down the federal government.
The two sides have already begun to double-down on their rhetoric. Congressional Democrats, afraid that President Barack Obama will negotiate spending cuts on entitlements including Social Security and Medicare, are urging the president to get tough. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said the president should invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling by presidential order. Section 4 of that amendment says, "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." Some constitutional lawyers -- along with some Congressional Democrats and some members of the Obama administration including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner -- have argued that this language makes the debt ceiling itself unconstitutional and gives the president the power to simply raise or ignore the debt ceiling. (So far, the White House, aware that such an assertion of power would provoke a constitutional crisis, has said it does not intend to invoke the 14th Amendment.)
On the Republican side, Senate and House leaders facing a revolt by conservative Republicans have declared any further tax increases off the table. On Sunday, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said, "The tax issue is finished, over, completed." That will come as a surprise to a White House that is holding to its position that any spending cuts must be balanced 1-to-1 by tax increases. Such extreme positions seem to mark the beginning of negotiations in Washington these days. And the distance between these positions, even if they are rhetorical posturing, is certainly enough to make reaching any agreement a long and drawn-out affair with big potential to worry the market.
What the market fears
That potential to worry the market is what interests investors most. Here's how I'd handicap that worry.
From the fiscal cliff deal, we know that investors are inclined to assume that, against all evidence, politicians will find a compromise rather than wreck the economy or destroy the U.S. credit rating. I think in this case that means that the markets are likely to stay relatively optimistic until at least the fourth week in January.
How do I arrive at that? The next meeting of the Bank of Japan is set for Jan. 21 and 22, and the next meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee is Jan. 29 and 30. The Bank of Japan is widely expected to cave in to pressure from the newly elected Liberal Democratic government and announce a big program of bond buying that would push inflation toward a goal of 2% and weaken the yen. Investors will be looking to the Fed meeting for signs that, after the fiscal cliff deal and with the looming uncertainty of the three February crises, the bank intends to keep its $85 billion-a-month program of economic stimulus (via quantitative easing) running at full throttle.

We have an ever growing portion of our population for whom there will never be a living wage job unless fundamental changes are made. Automation and job export have hastened the process. Add to that an aging slug of baby boomers that will soon go on benefits and it boggles the mind how we can ever get through this. Politicians can be quite intelligent when taken singly but collectively they are idiots. I feel like used car salesmen are running this country. (no offense to you used car salesmen) We have been suffering from a short term mentality for too long.
We have been losing the trade war for 30 years but we keep on playing the game. We handed our industrial balls over to foreign countries where their governments manage commerce like military campaigns and we wonder why we are losing? How's that trade deficit with China going? They sell us everything we used to make and we sell them KFC. That was a great deal wasn't it.
Slavery was a terrible thing when it was happening within our borders but we seem to have no problem with it when it is occurring in some third world country. And just like the slave owners in the 18 and 19th century, people (now corporations) are getting rich from it. Problem is, there are fewer and fewer people that can buy anything these days so the system is collapsing. Since corporations aren't hiring, the government has had to step in and support the masses that used to work for a living. Take away that support and you are back to the soup lines of the 30s. Short of some great pandemic or nuclear war, we are going to have a lot more people than jobs for the forseeable future. That's what we need to address and we are already too late.
Yes Congress will drag this on until the bitter end and it's going to make the markets crazy. Then they will do what they have to do and raise the debt ceiling. Holding a gun to your own head hasn't worked since "Blazing Saddles".
It's about jobs guys. Bring our industries back home or there will be nothing to tax.
No sh*t, Sherlock.
So why do we go thru all the drama from Republicans when they know from the start.....the limit HAS to be increased, and, the American people don't like messing around with the country's credit rating, and, the Republicans will look like fools all over again if they try this?
See, the Republicans are also needed to pass a budget. Funny thing.....
So, the two sides have to agree on a budget and then pass it back to the Pres to sign. Apparently this is unknown to Republican, right-wing drones on here. So, you could say it's Republicans who haven't passed a budget in nearly 4 years.
Go figure...............
As a former small contractor which did some work for the DOD, I found the actual waste was horendous. I literally witnessed a contract that would remodel a building and within a couple of years the building would be demolished. This goes on all the time. What I've also witnessed as observations at all levels of government the only way to limit waste is firm cuts to budgets. This leads me to conclude that a 25% cut is possible without touching any benefit, it would merely make those responsible "more responsible" limiting waste and corruption. Niether Republicrats nor Demlowcrats will have the will to "slash and burn" but instead will tell everyone they are cutting, but instead afterwards we will find out that in fact spending will continue unabated. Kinda like the "tax cliff" arrangement, now everyone is realizing the Obamlacrats and Repubicrats kept the details secret. Our nation cannot be saved, the "trough feeders" have a voracious monetary appetite for greed and plenty.

"This is an industrial metro area that was hit hard in the last few recessions and has been unable to recover," said Katie Bardaro, Payscale's lead economist.
Forbes turned to Payscale.com, a site that has collected salary and career data from more than 35 million people. They looked at compensation data for professionals in the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas, based on 2010 population estimates by the Census.
At the very top of the best-paying list is the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metro area. Overall, median pay in the California metropolis is $93,100. The average salary for those just starting out is $86,600—and that number soars to $128,000 for mid-career professionals.
That's only half the story. What about cost of living in the surveyed areas? Got a feeling housing costs are just a bit higher in Santa Clara, eh? So where's the advantage when you have to pay about 50% of your median income for a two-room shack?
~Attis: Touché.
And for retried people . It is one of the best places to retire . Low cost homes, low priced restaurants, good hospitals , and for the most part low crime.
I travel all over the country ,and we live in a dream world here . Just go to some of these places and see what it cost to live . Some time ( most of the time ) I knock our area about things I see wrong . BUT it is still a good place to live .

Snow day fantasies...
December 11, 2012 - Jennifer Brookens
The first snowfall makes most of us a little whimsical about winter. It makes the children anxious and excited and wanting to play in the snow. But we all know that only last about five minutes until they want back inside.
It's the same with snow days: a day where school is canceled just so the family can frolic in the snow. As I watch a dusting of snow cling to the sidewalk right now, it seems almost possible, but I know better.
Children's fantasy: They will get to build snowmen, snow forts, have snowball fights and sled all day, then Mom will be ready with hot chocolate and cookies still warm from the oven.
Mom's fantasy: The children are still at school, terrorizing the neighbors, or some other place that's not HERE. House and TV to myself, I can make my own "Irish" hot chocolate and indulge on my neglected TV viewing via Netflix. (I know, "Way to go, supermom!")
Reality: The parent stuck at home is still attempting to get something work-related accomplished, while hearing howls of, "Where's my scarf?" "My gloves don't match!" "My boots are too small!" Getting them bundled up and out the door to play takes half an hour. Five minutes later (yep, I called it) there's a pile of cold wet clothes pooling by the front door. One child is crying after getting hit in the face with a snowball, and the other is looking for hot chocolate when the only chocolate in the house is a box of brownie mix. The rest of the day will be spent with the children fighting over the TV, toys and personal space issues while the parent is either still trying to accomplish work stuff, or fighting with the snow blower to avoid a city ordinance violation for snow-covered sidewalks.
The snow remains light outside. Let's hope it stays that way...

Prepping Your Child for the New Baby
You look into the eyes of your three-year-old child and feel a crushing sense of guilt.
"How could I do this to her?" you ask as you rub your burgeoning pregnant belly. "What if she doesn't want a new baby? What if she feels like she's being replaced?"
Parents expecting a second child typically go through a wide gamut of emotions. While they're excited about the prospect of a baby in the house again, they fret over the impact the new bambino will have on their older child. Sometimes they choose to ignore the issue and just "surprise" their firstborn when the baby comes home. At the other end of the spectrum, some talk so incessantly about the anticipated birth that the older child—who can't understand why it's taking so long for this new kid to arrive—gets sick of all the baby talk.
What's a parent to do?
A delicate balance, say child developmental advocates, a tender dance that tells your first child that not only is she still loved and isn't being replaced, but that there are going to be a whole new set of realities at home.
But how parents deal with the impending arrival of a new baby should truly depend upon the child's age, experts warn. You don't want to get into graphic details about amniotic fluid and vaginal deliveries with a two-year-old toddler who can barely grasp the fact that the food he puts in his mouth goes into his belly. At the same time, physicians say you should involve an older child as much as possible so he feels like this is his baby, too.
Start a Dialogue
"No amount of explanation can really prepare [an older child] for the feeling of having a real, live demanding baby in the house," writes the late renowned pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock in his famous book, Baby and Child Care. "Your job is just to begin the dialogue about having a new brother or sister, where the baby will sleep, and what the sibling's role will be in his care and to provide constant reassurance that you love him as much as ever."
Nationally known child development expert, Dr. T. Berry Brazelton agrees, saying that parents have to be careful about how they go about preparing their firstborn for the baby. "Don't make a big thing of it in advance," said the Harvard Medical School professor and pediatrician at Boston's Children's Hospital. If you tell a child about the baby too early, he will get impatient waiting for the pregnancy to progress, Dr. Brazelton says. "To prepare them too far ahead, it just loses value later on," says Dr. Brazelton, author of the book Touchpoints, (which devotes a section to this topic).
Jeri Robinson, Vice President of Early Childhood Programs at Boston's Children's Museum, experienced this process herself recently when her five-year-old grandson got a new baby brother. "We did a lot of talking about babies and what they do," says Robinson, who coordinates a parents' resource room at the museum. When her grandson's mom was about five months along and the family was talking about the pregnancy, discussions began with the soon-to-be older brother about how the baby would bring big changes to his life.
Having the firstborn actively participate in the process is important, Robinson says. For example, if the baby will be staying in the same room with the older sibling, get that older child involved in how the room will be arranged and what will go where. "Don't just go in there and kind of bulldoze," she adds.

When he stabbed her and she gasped it was awesomehahaha. awesome. Exactly my thoughts. And why is it that every time he gives her blood, all I see is the wonderfulness of his embrace, and forget that he brought her to the brink of death? I've gone crazy, anddd its awesome.
Best part of the episode..............................REBEKAH. This episode made me a new fan. I never disliked her but now i RESPECT the character!! I love my villians justified! Second to Elijah, Rebekah is my favorite original. Why can't JP show Bonnie's character that kind of love when it comes to Elena? Everything Rebekah said to Elena was on point and i didnt mind her saving the lousy btch because she was giving her a tongue beat down at the sametime<classic>
Worst part of the show, Elena telling Damon to take the cure with her AFTER the pussy whipped btch boy in a pink speedo told her he didnt give a fk about her best friend and was willing to let her die. Proof in the pudding that this tacky ho gives a fk about her friends when it comes to Damon. She is beyond pathetic!
Klaroline pretty much put everything and everyone else in second plan.
I couldn't be more bored with the island scenes.
BTW, a whole legion of Forwood shippers on Twitter and Tumblr are saying Caroline totally faked the whole speech just so Klaus would save her. And even if I didn't ship KC, I'd disagree. Caroline is not Elena; she doesn't do things just to save her ass. She speaks what comes to her mind.
She's going to say she faked it after. But we all know it was very genuine. At most, she knew what she was going to say. But that doesn't change the fact that those were the words that came to mind, or that Klaus responded to them, and in effect, gave them even more truth.

About Online Courses
WKU Dual Credit offers a collection of online courses to high school and home school students. These courses will be offered through Dual Credit in which the student earns credit to meet the requirements of his/her high school and earns college credit simultaneously. These courses require consultation with and approval from guidance counselors in the student's high school in order to receive credit at the high school. If the student is only interested in earning college credit, he/she is permitted to enroll in the online course without earning the high school portion of the credit.
Students who are high school juniors or seniors at an accredited high school or home school program may be concurrently enrolled in the university for up to nine semester hours per semester if they have the consent of their principals/counselors, parents, and the directors of admissions. Students who have had success with dual credit coursework usually have a minimum GPA of 2.5/4.0 and an attendance rate of at least 90%.

Computing and Software
Dr. Mark Lawford
Model based design has had a large impact on the process of software development in many different industries. A lack of formality in these environments can lead to incorrect software and does not facilitate the formal analysis of created models. A formal tool known as tabular expressions have been successfully used in developing safety critical systems, however insufficient tool support has hampered their wider adoption. To address this shortfall we have developed the Tabular Expression Toolbox for Matlab/Simulink.
We have developed an intuitive user interface that allows users to easily create, modify and check the completeness and disjointness of tabular expressions using the theorem prover PVS or SMT solver CVC3. The tabular expressions are translated to m-functions allowing their seamless use with Matlab's simulation and code generation. We present a method of generating counter examples for incorrect tables and a means of effectively displaying this information to the user. We provide support for modelling inputs as floating point numbers, through subtyping a user can show the properness of a table using a more concrete representation of data. The developed tools and processes have been used in the modelling of a nuclear shutdown system as a case study of the practicality and usefulness of the tools.

What's Smart About SmartGlass
If you haven't heard, Microsoft announced a new feature for Xbox called SmartGlass at E3 today. Essentially, SmartGlass is a series of apps that allow you to interact with your TV via your phone or tablet.
This is the brilliance of piggy-backing on an ecosystem that already exists, even if it's not your own. Imagine if Microsoft had said that SmartGlass was only available on Microsoft phones. They likely would have had a greater control over the user experience, and perhaps they even would have sparked phone sales. But ultimately, more people will use Xbox for their entertainment needs with this technology available on devices.
Beside behavior, SmartGlass is taking advantage of consumer behaviors: we all sit on our couches fiddling with our phones, tablets, or even laptops while we're watching TV (yes, even during Game of Thrones). Why not put the feature into a device that is literally already in our hands.
Maybe the Xbox will ultimately be more disruptive to the entertainment industry than Apple?

Taylor Cole's hoping her next big "Event" is reviving the series on another network.
If actress Taylor Cole has her way, fans of her recently cancelled series may have some "Event"-ful news to look forward to.
"We're waiting to hear if 'The Event' is going to get picked back up," the actress tells PopcornBiz. Cole played ex-CIA assassin Vicky Roberts on the NBC sci-fi series, which was canceled despite a particularly rabid fan base (few of whom lived in Neilsen households, however). "They keep breaking our hearts and then giving us hope."
"We're waiting to see if SyFy is going to pick it up or maybe do a miniseries," she explains. Rumors surfaced last week that the cable network was mulling over adding some version of the series to its lineup, although SyFy executive Craig Engler subsequently Tweeted that no plans were afoot.
"I don't know when we'll find out," says Cole. "I'm trying to keep my ears closed until I hear something positive, instead of hearing all the ups and downs."

The Minnesota Senate approved the Freedom to Marry Act on Monday, just days after the bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Minnesota passed the House on a 75-59 vote.
The historic legislation passed by a vote of 37-30, and it was greeted by loud cheers from supporters who had gathered in the Capitol rotunda.
"I actually said, 'I want a picture of me with the score board,' the voting board in the background because it's such an historic day," said Sen. Sandy Pappas (DFL-St. Paul). "It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life."
The debate began at noon, and after three and a half hours, lawmakers moved to their final speeches. When they did, the crowds of supporters and opponents inside the Capitol began to cheer.
Their voices could be heard in the Senate chamber as Sen. Scott Dibble, who is both openly gay and the bill's chief sponsor in the Senate, made his final remarks prior to the vote.
"Members, we do this for the people we hear outside in the halls of this great hall, the peoples' building, who are here on both sides," he said. "This is democracy, and they're here, talking about their hopes. We hear them cheering."
He began by reading portions of Langston Hughes' poem "Let America Be America Again" and asked his colleagues to listen to the people's voices as demonstrators chanted "vote yes."
"We are redefining nothing," Dibble said. "We are joining and affirming the thing we cherish and prize and value the most.
The bill now moves the desk of Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who has vowed to sign the bill into law on the Capitol's south steps at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
St. Paul city officials announced an outdoor concert will be held immediately following the signing. More than half a dozen performers are booked for the "Love is Law" celebration at a downtown plaza.
The bill changes the word "marriage" in state law to "civil marriage," and changes the definition of those eligible from "a man and a woman" to "two persons."
Same-sex couples would be able to marry starting on Aug. 1.
"For thousands of families, life will be better. That will change," Dibble said during his final speech on the floor. "We will be treating people fairly and we will be removing the barriers they have had to the full joys life has to offer. In so doing, we strengthen ourselves and we strengthen our democracy."
Minnesota will become the 12th state in the nation to adopt marriage equality legislation.
"I vote today to ratify life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." - Sen. Roger Reinert (DFL-Duluth)
"Today we have the power, the awesome humbling power, to make dreams come true." - Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis), the bill's author
"After this vote is cast, help us to move beyond the moment to see ourselves not as winners and losers." - Rev. Dennis Morriem, before the Senate
"Members, this is the wrong stem in history." - Sen. Torrey Westrom (R-Elbow Lake)
"In my heart of hearts, I know today, love wins." - Sen. Tony Lourey (DFL-Kerrick)
"Today, our heartstrings pull and they pull very strong." - Sen. David Senjem (R-Rochester)
"Members, God made gays, and God made gays capable of loving other people -- including people of the same gender. So who are we to quarrel with God's intentions?" - Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-Minneapolis)
Latz also took a moment to discuss marriage throughout the Bible, citing multiple figures who had multiple wives in his efforts to dispel the notion that the institution has not seen changes throughout history. He and other lawmakers also cited civil rights moments in American history while asking lawmakers to consider the separation of church and state in placing their votes and to learn from past votes.
"For those of you who are struggling with a conflict between your conscience and your politics … let me submit that you are not alone, but in the end, you will have to live with your own conscience at the end of the day," Latz said. "Do not vote out of fear -- of your constituents, or even of your family."
Sen. Dan Hall (R-Burnsville) took a cautionary tone, arguing that he is more concerned about eternity than being "on the right side of history."
"[This] will split towns and the state like nothing else since the Civil War," Hall predicted.
Earlier in the debate, Sen. Jeff Hayden told opponents of same-sex marriage that "it's going to be OK," but Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen was quick to reply with his doubts.
"I'm not so sure everything is going to be OK," Ingebrigtsen said before urging other senators to vote against the measure.
Ingebrigtsen also told the floor he believes the move will force children to ask "too many uncomfortable questions" of their parents.
"No matter the vote today, this is not going away," said Sen. Sean Nienow (R-Cambridge). "How we get through this after this is what I'm concerned about."
There are still deep divisions regarding religious protections for those who are spiritually opposed to same-sex marriage, and some argue the bill still doesn't do enough.
"It only covers clergy and the church. It doesn't cover things like religious colleges. It doesn't protect groups like the YMCA or YWCA," said Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove).
However, supporters argue state law already provides such protections.

Maurice Richard. Mike Bossy. Wayne Gretzky. Mario Lemieux. Brett Hull.
And maybe Steven Stamkos?
It's a select list of NHL legends who have scored 50 goals in their teams' first 50 games, and it has been nearly two decades since the rare feat was last accomplished (Hull, 1991-92).
But after potting his second hat trick of the season on Thursday night as part of a five-point performance, Tampa Bay's 20-year old sniper has 19 goals in 19 games. And though he has a lot of scoring to do between now and his team's 50th game on January 23 against Atlanta, Stamkos has already captured the imagination of hockey observers and some of his peers, as well.
"He's dangerous and he's on a pretty torrid pace right now," said Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who tied Stamkos for the NHL lead in goals last season with 51.
"I definitely think he is going to continue this pace," predicted Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri.
For his part, Stamkos' scoring frequency is surprising even to himself.
"Yeah, after 19 games I wouldn't expect myself to have 19 goals," Stamkos told NHL.com. "It's just the way things are going right now. I'm working really hard and I'm trying to buy into the system."
It's all a bit heady for a player who was playing junior in the OHL as recently as the spring of 2008, prior to becoming the first overall pick by the Lightning that summer. And despite his eventual 51-goal campaign last year for Tampa Bay, Stamkos was passed over for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team.
History Lesson
While Stamkos remains 31 goals away from a place in the record books, his current 19-goal standing compares well to the paces that have been set by several of the players who have accomplished the feat. (It should be noted that a number of players, such as Cam Neely and Alexander Mogilny, have scored 50 goals in 50 or fewer games played, but because of injury failed to do so in the team's first 50 games - which is the standard that the NHL holds to include a player in the "50 in 50" club).
When Gretzky scored 50 goals in an NHL-record 39 games in 1981-82, he too sat on 19 goals after 19 games. Rocket Richard did as well in 1944-45 en route to becoming the first player ever to score 50 in 50.
Bossy in 1980-81 and Hull in 1990-91 also sat on 19 in 19.
Only two players have ever exceeded Stamkos' pace after 19 games and gone on to break the 50 in 50 plateau: Gretzky in 1983-84 (24 goals), and Lemieux in 1988-89 (22).
The 2005-06 season - the first after the lockout - was the last time that any players had a goal-per-game pace after the first quarter of the season. Philadelphia's Simon Gagne had 20 goals in 19 games before finishing with 47, and Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson had 19 in 19 before going on to a 43-goal campaign.
Adding It Up
It's a lot of pressure and expectation to place on a player who is still three months shy of his 21st birthday, and his teammates are the first ones to keep him grounded.
"It is amazing," forward Martin St. Louis told NHL.com. "But we don't want Stammer to just think about that. Sometimes things are better left not talked about. You know, just go play. There is no reason to set any bars for him. Good things are going to happen. He's that good."
Stamkos has let the numbers do the talking. After scoring 23 goals in his rookie campaign, Stamkos has potted 70 goals in his last 101 NHL games combined over last season and the first 19 games this year.
Whether or not 50 in 50 becomes reality, Stamkos' goal-per-game pace puts him on track for 82 on the season. At that plateau, the total would be the fifth-most ever scored in a single campaign (Gretzky had 92 in 1981-82 and 87 in 1983-84, Hull scored 86 in 1990-91, and Lemieux had 85 in 1988-89).
Heady company, indeed. But the numbers tell the story, and hockey fans will be closely tracking one of the league's most exciting snipers in the months to come.
"I'm getting a great opportunity, playing with some good players and our power play is clicking right now," explained Stamkos. "I'm a beneficiary of that now and I just have to keep working hard to get rewarded."

BOSTON -- They started as a Big Three and grew to a Big Four when Rajon Rondo earned the right to be mentioned along with the other Boston Celtics All-Stars.
At no point, however, did Brandon Bass merit marquee billing in his first season in Boston.
The fifth, newest and least-heralded member of the Celtics' starting lineup, Bass erupted for a career playoff-high 27 points on Monday night, scoring 18 in the third quarter as Boston pulled away from the Philadelphia 76ers to win 101-85 and take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
"We've got a few good players on the team that they had to focus on," said Bass, who left the game to a standing ovation with 2 minutes left and Boston leading by 18. "That left me open, and I was able to take advantage of my opportunity."
The 27 points matched Bass' regular-season career high, and the 18 points in the third was one off his career playoff high for an entire game. It was also more than the Sixers scored in the quarter as a team.
"It was one of those games we needed something to ignite us together," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I thought the biggest difference was his energy. He played with a force. I thought he just let himself go."
Kevin Garnett added 20 points and Rajon Rondo had 13 points and 14 assists for the Celtics, who can advance to the East finals with a victory in Philadelphia in Game 6 on Wednesday. The Sixers would need a win at home to force the series back to Boston for a decisive seventh game.
As he walked to his postgame interview, Elton Brand told the Celtics' ball boys in the hallway outside the locker rooms: "See you on Saturday."
No team has won consecutive games yet this series.
"It would just be nice to win two in a row. That would be terrific," Rivers said. "It's not going to be easy. This series has been hard. Every minute, you think we're leaking oil physically."
Brand scored 19 and Evan Turner had 11 points and 10 rebounds for Philadelphia, which led by six points early in the third quarter before Boston scored 14 of the next 16 points. Bass had eight of them, including back-to-back dunks followed by a steal that set up Ray Allen's fast-break layup to give the Celtics a 63-57 lead with five minutes left in the quarter.
Boston closed out the third with a 10-2 run over the final 3 minutes and outscored the Sixers 28-16 in the period. The Celtics also scored 16 of the first 22 points in the fourth quarter -- seven from Rondo -- to put away the game.
"We had too many turnovers and that just got those guys going," 76ers centre Spencer Hawes said. "They got a couple of easy baskets in transition off our mistakes. It got them going, they took advantage of it and held home court. Now we have to go home and take care of ours."
The Celtics acquired Bass in December in a trade with Orlando for Glen "Big Baby" Davis, and he worked his way into the starting lineup after the All-Star break. Although he solidified the power forward position after Garnett moved to centre, he hadn't done anything spectacular -- until Monday.
Bass hadn't scored more than 22 points in a game this season. His playoff high was 19 points, in 2008.
Paul Pierce had 16 points -- a perfect 9 for 9 from the free throw line -- and Allen, back in the starting lineup because of an injury to Avery Bradley, had five points.
Boston tied it 57-all when Bass stole the ball from Thaddeus Young and got to the free throw line, making both foul shots. After a Sixers miss, Rondo found Bass underneath for the dunk. Bass added another crowd-pleasing dunk before knocking loose a ball to start Rondo on a fast break he finished by finding Allen for the layup.
Notes: Actor Will Smith, a 76ers co-owner, was at the game, as were comedians Chris Rock and David Spade. ... Bradley did not play because of problems in both shoulders, Rivers said. ... Rondo had seven assists in the third quarter. He picked up one of his most spectacular when he slipped at the free throw line but left-handed the ball to Greg Stiemsma for the dunk.

CROMWELL -- If you saw the pitching wedge Bubba Watson topped from a fairway bunker into the water on the 17th hole, you saw a piece of it. If you saw his monster drive on 18, the one that bounced off the cart path 396 yards into Travelers Championship legend, yes, you saw another piece.
For this late Sunday afternoon, maybe more than any other in the 59 editions of our state's golf event, was a full jigsaw puzzle of action, chain reaction and human emotion. Even as Watson sank his 3-foot putt on the second playoff hole for his first PGA Tour victory, even as he fell into the arms of his wife, Angie, and dissolved into tears, we did not have all the pieces.
It will be remembered as entirely fitting that one of the most emotional men in golf, this country boy from the Florida Panhandle, would give the most honest of responses when asked how he felt as he looked at that 3-foot putt that would win him $1.08 million.
"I couldn't breathe," Watson said. "I couldn't feel my arms."
Later, Watson would make us all feel as he spoke about his dad, Gerry, the man who had taught him the game, taught him about life, a man fighting cancer. It had been Angie, in fact, who first took the microphone at the 18th green during the awards ceremony and told us about Watson's dad. Told us how Bubba had called him as they made their way back up the 18th fairway after the playoff, about how all he could get out was, "I love you."
"Bubba always said he'd be a mess when he gets his first win," said Angie, a starter on Georgia's 1999 Final Four basketball team.
And he was.
"I cry all the time," Watson said. "When I go to church on Sunday, I'm crying. I couldn't get the 'yes,' or the 'I do' out on my wedding day.
"My wife, we had a scare, we thought she had a tumor in her brain. We got lucky with that one. Now we're battling with my dad. I never had a [formal golf] lesson. My dad, he took me to the course when I was 6, just told me he was going to be in the woods looking for his ball, so take this 9-iron and beat it down the fairway. And now look at me ... coming from Bagdad, Florida, I never dreamed of this."
His soul was bare. He was full of tears.
"To be honest, when Bubba's dad got sick I didn't know how well we'd be able to handle it," Angie said. "He has gotten strength. We both know where it's coming from. But it's just unbelievable for him to get his first win this year under these circumstances."
And to think, this Sunday had begun so ho-hum, with the full expectation Justin Rose would walk away with the 2010 Travelers title. Rose had led by six strokes on Saturday and had taken a three-shot lead into the final round, yet before the sun had set on the English empire, Rose had tanked as badly as his countrymen in their loss to Germany in the World Cup.
"It obviously was mine to lose," said Rose, who stumbled to a 75.
For two hours, a static leaderboard went into a crazy flux. Scott Verplank had two eagles on the back nine. Corey Pavin bent in a terrific 32-foot putt on the 17th. And, boom, we had a playoff at minus-14 among three men who weren't even in the final three groups.
So here was Watson, the longest hitter on the PGA Tour, dropping a 56-degree wedge from 128 yards to within two inches on the 18th, the first playoff hole. Pavin, the tour's shortest hitter, popped up a 3-wood, put his second shot in the bunker. He was done.
"Time to go back and play with adults my own age," said Pavin, 50, who splits his time with the Champions Tour.
Watson had a double bogey on the 17th, birdied the 18th after his 396-yard drive - the longest in tournament history - and followed that with another birdie on the first playoff hole (also the 18th).

Boat building resurfaces in Blaine
In what is hoped to be a harbinger of the future, a large commercial ship has slipped off the ways. Westman Marine, tucked away near the end of Marine Drive, put Georgia Lee in the water last Saturday, after she spent nearly a year and a half coming to life.
Built by Bob Gudmundson � and a few good men � the Georgia Lee stands at 70 feet long, 23 feet wide, and weighing more than 200 tons. She�ll be used as a charter boat in Alaskan waters, and running on a Cummins QSK 19 motor, complete with 660 horsepower.
�I had a lot of fun building the boat, we had the right people, and it makes my job really easy,� Gudmundson said.
Those people, he said, include Norm Walsh �who probably grew up on the shipyard. He�s very dependable and very knowledgeable,� Gudmundson said.
�Coming from a big shipyard � there were over 200 people there � and coming to a small shipyard like this, where we have about 10 people, and being able to hire, good, qualified people that I can depend on, that was great,� he said.
The big shipyard Gudmundson referred to is the now defunct Dakota Creek Shipyards, of which he used to be an employee. And the place where he built the biggest boat of his career � a 280-foot vessel named Starbound.
Gudmundson started in the boat building profession during his mid-20s, after four years in the Air Force. �If I had a job with an income, that was good,� Gudmundson said.
He has built an array of boats, including, crab, skiff and tug boats. �When you have a larger shipyard, you have more people,� he said. adding he�s also learned a lot from people. �Carl Berg. He was a fine boatbuilder. He could walk by and tell you something was crooked. even if it was an eighth off. I learned a lot from him.�
In September of 1999, after Dakota Creek Shipyards went under, Gudmundson said he �retired.� Soon after though, his retirement was up, as Westman Marine co-owner Jack Dawson was interested in having a boat built.
�He wanted to build this boat,� Gudmundson said, �and he wanted quality. So somehow we worked it out and built it.�
Although the boat won�t be leaving for Alaska until April sometime, it�s now in the water and Gudmundson will take the boat out on a sea trial sometime soon, for about four to eight hours. �We need to make sure everything works right, and it�s all functioning properly,� he said.
�Very pleased,� Dawson said, when asked about the outcome of his new boat. �Very pleased.�
So where did the name Georgia Lee come from? Apparently from a financially-sound Alaskan prostitute who did well enough that she owned several businesses.
As for doing well in business, could boat building be on the rise in Blaine? �For pleasure boats, yes,� Gudmundson said. �As for commercial, no.�
Westman Marine now has several inquiries about boat building, most of them for pleasure boats. �Now that the boat has been built, people can come along and see that a boat was built,� Gudmundson said.
One of the next projects Westman Marine will tackle is the boat Tern, a smaller vessel docked right outside. �It will be widened three feet on each side,� Gudmundson said. �It�s a pretty good job.�
In addition to boat building, Gudmundson is also responsible for the hydrabull, a mechanical bull that helps train horses. After creating four prototypes, he�s sold seven bulls so far, at a cost of $17,000 each. There is currently an infomercial in the works that will air on an equine-related channel on the dish. For more information, check out www.hydrabull.com.
When asked if he is building anything else, he smiled and said no. But he was thinking...

Melatonin 6 Hour Timed Release
750 mcg 60 vegetarian tablets
Item Catalog Number: 01788
Melatonin releases from the pineal gland, reaching its peak at night to help maintain healthy cell health throughout the body.82 Secretion of melatonin declines significantly with age, as the pineal gland becomes calcified.83 Jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt melatonin cycles.84-86
Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune.87,88 Not only does this hormone work to maintain cell health, it appears to regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration.89-94 As melatonin diminishes with age, our biological functions are impaired.95,96 Melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties. It directly scavenges both hydroxyl and peroxyl free radicals, and it does so more effectively than most other antioxidants. It also greatly potentiates the efficiency of other endogenous and exogenous antioxidants.97 Melatonin is especially important for protecting cellular DNA against peroxynitrite damage by inhibiting peroxynitrite free radical reactions.98 Some research has found that melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about 60% of people who use it.99-102

This was an OK mascara. Great color payoff, last a long time on the lashes. The ingredients include keratin, soy, pumkin, biotin, and more! The shape of the brush looked like it would be great to reach the corners of my lashes. It does reach all the lash corners, but that's about it. It provides, little to no volume, and little to no length. The only reason I've kept it, is because I can use it as a first coat under a much better mascara, and at least my lashes will reap the benefits of the ingredients. Plus, it does have a great color payoff. Very black. Will I use the whole thing? Yes, absolutely, I've found a use for it. Will I purchase it again? No. I guess this is good if you want to look like you have absolutely no mascara on at all (except for the black tint of course.)

Sounds like some heavy-duty physics. Learn this in college?
I barely got through high school. Never went to college. I'm self-taught—with a great deal of help from some really good people such as Lee Jurras of Super Vel Cartridges, Dick Casull himself, dozens of other men all over the country who've been my friends for years and let me ask all sorts of questions and Hamilton Bowen, who is absolutely the greatest six-gun maker in the country today.
Did you grow up shooting and hunting?
Actually, I grew up in what you'd have to call a "gun-free zone." My dad's cousin was hurt in a BB gun accident, and my grandmother refused to have any guns around. I sort of broke the mold.
What was your first gun?
The first gun I personally owned was a 16-gauge, double-barreled Damascus shotgun. My first six gun was an old three-screw .357 Ruger Blackhawk with a 6 ½-inch barrel. I must've been about 15 or so when I got that.
So in 1986, the .500 Linebaugh comes out. What was the reaction?
It was on the cover of Guns & Ammo. The orders came in and they've never stopped. To date, I've probably built about 400 of the .500 Linebaughs.
In 1988, you also added the .475 Linebaugh to the mix. Why did you develop that revolver?
The .500 Linebaugh cartridge was originally built on the old .348 Winchester [rifle] brass. Just as the .500 Linebaugh was taking off, Winchester Ammunition informed me the cartridge was being discontinued. They told me they could make me the brass—but it would take an order of one million of them, minimum. No way I had that kind of money. So I started playing around with .45-70 brass, seeing if it might work. One night, I took a case, cut it and then machined a .475 key-style bullet out of a bolt, just to see if it would all fit. It worked. It was .500 at the case base and .497 at the neck. I had a new handgun round. Meantime, other companies started making brass for the .500.
If someone orders a handgun from you, how long does it take?
Over a year right now. It's been that way for years, backlogged like that. I've been especially busy these last few years, with the work and the travel and the seminars that I do. I don't even get to do much hunting any more.
Speaking of which, what's the biggest animal you've taken with your revolvers?
I shoot a buffalo every year or so. I've got a buffalo on my wall right now that weighed over 1,000 pounds. I've killed a dozen antelope, four mule deer and 10 or 12 buffalo, all but one of them with a handgun. And I very seldom recover a bullet. They go right through the animal.
Even the buffalo?
Yes, sir.
What's your favorite, every day handgun?
A .500 Linebaugh with a 4 ¾ inch barrel. That little gun doesn't kick at all.
What's the best thing about being the inventor and maker of the .475 and .500 Linebaugh revolvers?
All the great people I've met, all the truly good friends I've made over the years. I'm thankful for the freedoms we do have in this country, and I try to take the time to enjoy them, to appreciate the sunrises and pay attention to the sunsets.
