The federal agents who visited Scott Taylor's rural Pennsylvania gun shop in early January 2010 - to conduct the store's first inspection in more than three decades - found thousands of violations of firearm sales laws.
Taylor couldn't properly account for more than 3,000 guns he had bought or sold during the previous three years, according to agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. These and other violations led ATF to revoke his license to sell guns in November 2011. But that wasn't the end of the story. Far from it.
The gun shop, located in the basement of his Biglerville, Pa. home, remains open 14 months later while Taylor appeals the ATF action in federal court.
Taylor declined to comment. His lawyer, Scott L. Braum, said the store owner fell behind in his paperwork due to illness and has since corrected the problems. "No rational person would expect them to reoccur in the future," Braum said.
The ATF case against Taylor's Trading Post - one of a dozen reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity - offers a rare look inside the federal government's contentious and, some critics say, weak-kneed, process for policing gun dealers nationwide.
Some dealers don't see an ATF inspector for eight years or more. By law, ATF can inspect dealers once a year only and may revoke a license only when it believes the dealer "willfully" violated gun control laws. Some revoked dealers have handed their business off to a relative, or stayed open while their cases lumbered through the courts. Others have converted their inventory to a "personal" collection, which they can then sell without doing background checks of prospective buyers.
As the Obama administration presses for stricter gun controls in response to the killings of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn. last December, ATF's oversight of the gun industry - particularly its secretive dealer inspection and revocation process - faces criticism from all quarters.
Gun control advocates argue that the program has been crippled by inadequate funding and congressional meddling and that as a result ATF can't assure that public gun dealers are doing their best to keep weapons out of the wrong hands.
One such group meeting at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore in January recommended that ATF be "required to provide adequate resources" for more inspections and "develop a range of sanctions for gun dealers who violate gun sales or other laws."
ATF criticized
By contrast, some gun-rights groups, including the National Rifle Association, have blasted ATF oversight as arbitrary and unfair - and are lobbying to make it harder for ATF to drive dealers out of business.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry's trade association, also questions whether dealers accused of misdeeds are afforded due process in ATF revocation hearings. But the trade group stresses that it tries to work with ATF to keep dealers on the right side of the law, said Lawrence Keane, the foundation's senior vice president and general counsel.
ATF spokesman Mike Campbell in Washington defended the inspections, saying, "I think ATF is doing the best job they possibly can with the resources and priorities that we have set to reduce violent crime."
Federal law obligates licensed dealers to record all transactions so that guns connected to a crime can be traced. This means they must faithfully log all "acquisitions and dispositions" by manufacturer, model, serial number, caliber and dates the dealer bought and sold the gun and to whom.
Gun dealers, from local pawnshops to big-box retailers such as Walmart, also must submit buyers' names for background checks to confirm they aren't felons or other prohibited buyers.
ATF had licensed some 65,000 firearms dealers as of fiscal 2011, when it conducted 13,159 "compliance" inspections. ATF doesn't release detailed inspection findings for each dealer, but says about half were "in full compliance."The most common violations are failures to record gun transactions properly. The ATF revoked 71 licenses in 2011, but what these dealers did to warrant that penalty isn't disclosed either. The allegations usually surface only after a dealer decides to fight the revocation in federal court, where pleadings are public record.
The dozen revocation cases reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity were all filed in, or decided by, federal courts since January 2010. Most of the dealers who sued to keep operating had been cited repeatedly for violations that could impact public safety.
One Wichita, Kan., dealer admitted selling a gun to a man who answered "yes" to being convicted of a crime of domestic violence, among other violations at the store. A Tennessee pawnshop had sold guns to 16 people despite "reason to believe" (from their answers to a questionnaire) that they were prohibited from buying them. A Wisconsin pawnbroker with a history of infractions allegedly sold two rifles to a "straw buyer." A straw buyer is a person with a clean record who makes a purchase on behalf of someone who is legally prohibited from doing so.
Federal judges sided with the ATF in all three of these cases. But each case took three years or more from the discovery of the violations until the court ruled.
For the most part, dealers who take the ATF to court don't dispute that the violations occurred. But they argue that most transgressions were paperwork errors or oversights, not "willful" acts that warranted revocation of a license. Three dealers cited ill health to partly explain why they fell behind in their paperwork and should be given a second chance. One Maine dealer cited by ATF for repeatedly failing to keep and locate sales records cited multiple infirmities, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which he said made it "extremely difficult to focus and stay on task." He lost his license.
Taylor, the Pennsylvania dealer, said he was struggling at age 60 with diabetes and simply "overwhelmed" trying to keep up. He couldn't produce a registry to fully account for 3,732 guns in his inventory when ATF agents inspected his shop Jan. 4, 2010, his first inspection in more than 30 years, court records show.
After working for months to unsnarl his paperwork, agents concluded that 168 firearms were "missing." Taylor couldn't locate sales and acquisitions records for 2007, 2008 and 2009, either, a period when he sold or disposed of 2,856 firearms, according to court records.
In his defense, Taylor, said he began entering sales data into a computer in 2004, only to see it crash and wipe out his records. At an ATF hearing in Harrisburg in August 2011, Taylor was apologetic and promised to turn things around. But he met with little sympathy from the agency.
Taylor sued in January 2012 to keep his license. He lost the first round in late December, when a federal magistrate recommended a judgment for ATF. But Braum, Taylor's lawyer, said he is challenging the recommendation.
Taylor said he remains open and his website advertises "a full line of gunning and shooting accessories and gunsmithing to the general public."
ATF has long faced criticism that its inspection program isn't tough enough. In July 2004, the Justice Department inspector general reported that most dealers were being inspected "infrequently or not at all." The report said that without regular inspections ATF "cannot effectively monitor" whether dealers are following the law. The report recommended that inspections be done at least once every three years, but the agency has not been able to meet that goal. Spokesman Campbell said ATF hopes to visit dealers once every five years.
In fiscal 2011, ATF had 776 investigators in its inspection branch.
Though ATF revoked licenses of just 71 dealers that year, about 12 percent of the more than 10,000 inspected dealers were issued "warning letters," which indicates serious violations that if recurring could prompt revocation.
During fiscal 2011 inspections, ATF identified nearly 177,500 "unaccounted for" firearms, which either could not be located in inventory or sales records. The agency worked with dealers and eventually was able to account for all but 18,500 of the firearms, which the agency called a "significant threat" to public safety.
Some in the gun industry remain deeply suspicious of the ATF and strongly oppose granting it more power. They argue that petty violations can result in dealers' undeservedly facing a revocation hearing and that ATF needs to follow proper legal procedures to protect a dealer's rights.
Christopher M. Chiafullo, a New York attorney whose firm defends gun dealers at revocation hearings, calls the process "wildly one-sided"and argues that it "makes a mockery of the legal system."

Robin Looks Back Nearly Ten Years
I've just posted another chapter from my early years of country living on the Writings From Windridge Farm site. I wrote this story in the spring of 1997 for my Writings From Windridge newsletter, and I figured this was the perfect time to share it since deer season is nearly upon us. I've put up the entire story at once, so those of you who have been wishing for a longer read will be able to curl up with your favorite beverage and a little plate of cookies and settle in for a lengthier visit to the first farm I lived on (back when I really had no idea what I was doing).
Click here to go directly to the new story. Click here to begin at the beginning. And click here if you have no idea what this Windridge stuff is all about but wish you did. Enjoy.
And for the many of you who so kindly keep asking if I have ever thought of putting all this stuff into some sort of book, the answer is a resounding yes! Getting from here to there is, of course, a whole other story, but it is definitely something I really hope to do. (So any suggestions, tips, publishing contacts, or book deals are welcome.) What kind of a book would you be interested in buying?

So Far Away: Twenty Questions and Answers About Long-Distance Caregiving
Five years ago, Dave's mother moved from their old house in Philadelphia to an apartment that was closer to his sister in Baltimore. Before the move, the 30-minute drive to visit his mom wasn't a big deal, and Dave had lunch with her weekly. Sometimes they'd go to a ballgame together. After the move, neither Dave nor his mom expected much to change—what was another hour or so of drive time? But as time passed, the trip seemed to get longer, time together was harder to arrange, and as a result, they saw less of each other. Then his mom's health began to slide. When Dave's sister called to say their mom had fallen and broken her hip, Dave needed and wanted to help. Should he offer to hire a nurse? Should he take a week off work and help out himself? After all the years his mom had devoted to caring for the family, what could Dave do from far away to help her—and his sister?
The answer for Dave, and for so many families faced with similar situations, is encouraging. Long-distance caregivers can be helpful no matter how far away they live. So Far Away: Twenty Questions and Answers About Long-Distance Caregiving focuses on some issues that are unique to long-distance caregiving. You will also find other information that is important to know whether you live next door or across the country. Developed by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, this booklet is a gateway to ideas and resources that can help make long-distance caregiving more manageable and satisfying.
But what is long-distance caregiving? It can be helping Aunt Lilly sort through her medical bills or thinking about how to make the most of a weekend visit with Mom. It can include checking the references of an aide who's been hired to help your grandfather or trying to take the pressure off your sister who lives in the same town as both your aging parents and her aging in-laws. So Far Away often refers to caregiving for aging parents, but in fact, this booklet offers tips you can use no matter who you are caring for—an older relative, family friend, or neighbor.
The booklet is organized in a question-and-answer format. Each of these commonly asked questions has a brief answer. You can read them separately or together for a more complete picture of all the facets of caregiving from afar. The most important thing to remember is that these are just ideas, suggestions, and observations from people with knowledge or experience in long-distance caregiving. Your situation might call for adaptations of these or even completely different solutions.
We hope these questions and answers stimulate helpful problem solving, but we understand you will mold your own best answers. If you have some good ideas—or questions—we haven't addressed, share them with us for consideration when we update the booklet.
Many resources are mentioned throughout this booklet. Sometimes we've included contact information in the text, but all the resources and more are included at the end of the publication.

I believe that I speak for a lot of movies when I say that I am getting tired of reboots of movies, let alone reboots of movies only 10 years old. However, I must admit, this is the way the Spider-Man movies should be! The Amazing Spider-Man brings together a solid storyline, strong cast and the best CGI yet!
Mark Webb (am I the only one that finds this ironically funny? Maybe...) directs this flick, with the only previous full length movie on his resume being (500) Days of Summer. Even so, he does a phenomenal job. He brings together the lovely Emma Stone who stars as Gwen Stacey opposite Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker (a.k.a Spider-Man); Dennis Leary plays Gwen's father and Police captain; Martin Sheen and Sally Field star as Uncle Ben and Aunt May; and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Conners (a.k.a. the Lizard). These are all very strong actors with plenty on their resume. It brings the quality of the film to a new standard, and slightly more serious standard than the previous films.
The storyline is a bit different then before. This film takes a stronger look at what happened to Peter's parents. Most of the time they are written off as dead from an accident, which is what is attributed this time. But its the reasoning behind their living that is brought into the light. Peter's father leaves them with his brother, Ben, as he and his wife try to escape the reaches of Oscorp as they try to find out his equation for cross species genetics (intro the Lizard here) that he believes is too dangerous for anyone to have.
Now, usually I despise 3D with every fiber of my being...however, I loved it in this film! Every scene is crisp and bright, no having to readjust your eyes every few minutes during the action and it pulls the perspectives in nicely. There are several scenes that are first-person from Spider-Man's perspective...so be weary if you get motion sickness. I get it slightly, but it wasn't too bad. 3D aside the graphics are phenomenal. The final act of the movie is jaw droppingly amazing...simply fantastic!
So what's the bottom line? See it. See it right now. In theatres. In 3D. And IMAX if its in IMAX near you. If its not pack a lunch a drive, its worth the trip!

A general test method for measuring the temperature of deflection under load for plastics, high-strength thermosetting laminates, and ebonite, a hard, inelastic rubber that is commonly used as an electrical insulator. This type of test is commonly (but unofficially) referred to as HDT, which stands for "heat distortion test" or "heat deflection test." Three test methods are used within the scope of ISO 75, and are as follows:
Method A: flexural stress of 1.80 MPa is applied
Method B: flexural stress of 0.45 MPa is applied
Method C: flexural stress of 8.00 MPa is applied

Colposcopy Introduction
Colposcopy is the direct magnified inspection of the surface of a woman's genital area, including the cervix, vagina, and vulva, using a light source and a binocular microscope. Doctors use the test to evaluate potentially cancerous areas, typically after a Pap smear has indicated the possibility of such a problem. Your doctor also may perform a biopsy (take a sample) of an abnormal area during the procedure.
Colposcopy also can be used to detect inflammatory or infectious changes, harmless or cancerous growths, and traumatic injuries to the cervix, vagina, and vulva. Because the procedure is highly specialized, you should make sure that your doctor has performed many such examinations.

I recently met a person online (it's not what you think). It was a local business relationship, but the first several interactions were on email…and it got off to a rocky start…I think.
You see, I wasn't sure. It felt weird – like we weren't connecting. But I didn't know if the other person felt that way. Her emails generally came from a mobile device, so perhaps the shortness I sensed was due to her being busy or not-so-quick at thumb-typing.
I tried calling, but we only exchanged brief voicemails. I needed to connect with her, but did she want to? Was this going to work? Should I just let it go? Though unsettled, I ventured to the meeting ready to navigate what I assumed would be choppy relational waters.
We met. At first the discussion focused on the business matter at hand, and then things relaxed a bit. By the end of the meeting, we were fast friends. Two weeks later we had a follow-up meeting that was fun and productive.
Since then, despite all the emails, to do's, and stacks waiting for me on my desk, I've put a higher priority on meeting people face-to-face. In this short time, both efficiency and effectiveness have increased as well as job satisfaction. This experience reinforces what I've always known: while relationships can be sustained electronically, they deepen through personal interaction.
But, I'm just one voice on the matter. What do you think?
P.S. Here's a related quote from film producer and author Peter Guber: "Nothing replaces being in the same room, face-to-face, breathing the same air and reading and feeling each other's micro-expressions."

RALEIGH (AP) -- A new study points to pressure on North Carolina workers by illustrating big declines in company-provided health insurance.
The study released Thursday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Minnesota health policy researchers shows North Carolina had one of the biggest double-digit drops in workers covered by employer-sponsored insurance.
The study finds that North Carolina workers covered by company health plans fell by more than 13 percent over the first decade of this century, worse than all states except South Carolina, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
The decline in employer-provided insurance is common among nearly all states, although the size of the fall in coverage varies by state.
North Carolina also saw a nation's-worst decrease of 6 percentage points in workers whose companies offer any health insurance.

AFC Wimbledon raid Luton Town for full back
07:32 29 May 2012
EMPICS Sport
Transfer News: Curtis Osano signs for the Dons
AFC Wimbledon have announced that Luton full back Curtis Osano has joined the club.
The 25-year-old worked with Dons manager Terry Brown at Aldershot in 2006 and admitted the idea of linking up with him again was the clincher.
"Terry has known me since I was a kid and he knows what I am capable of," Osano told the club's official site.
"I learned a lot from him when I was at Aldershot. I spoke to Terry and he told me where the club is hoping to go.
"He told me that he knows what the problems were last season and he is trying to fix them next season. I think the club will progress and I want to be a part of it.
"Once I got my medical done I just wanted to sign as the chance to work again with Terry for a Football League team was too good to turn down."
Osano made 32 appearances for the Hatters as they lost in the Blue Square Premier play-off final.

Waterfowl hunting season mostly over in north state — with disappointing resultsBy: George deVilbiss/Special to Gold Country News Service
Last year's waterfowl season found hunters scratching their heads wondering what happened to the weather. It was tough hunting due to the lack of foul weather that can make waterfowl hunting great. Bag limits for the 2011-12 season were downright poor.
Hunters for the 2012-13 season are equally perplexed. In the first part of the season, in October and early November, hunters were met with ideal weather conditions. Problem is, a great deal of that foul weather didn't stop. Fields in the north state were flooded.
Migrating birds could pick and choose where they wanted to go. You're flooded little area, replete with decoys, would do little to convince a flock of real birds to come in.
While some water is a good thing, there is the possibility of too much water. Early in the season, the only places with water are gun clubs and the state's federal and state refuges.
Additionally, the birds this time of year are much savvier in the ways of the hunter. For self-preservation purposes, they are easily spooked. They can be much more wary, a little harder to convince that you're calling is something they want to listen to.
Have you seen a flight of birds rapidly flare away after you blow on the call? That's a quick indication they're easily spooked. They can be spooked by seeing the shine of your face, by not liking the pattern of your decoys, and by your calling. When you're saying, "C'mon in, the water's fine," they might be hearing, "Get outta here."
In fact, it's nothing unusual for birds to spook at the first quack of a real duck, much less flaring at your imitation. Getting a bird to react to your call can be a difficult task at this part of the season.
The waterfowl hunting season is mostly over. There are some season openings, such as white-front geese and black Brandt hunting availability, but not many.
If you were having trouble getting birds to come to your decoys, there are a couple of things you might want to try. One is to just flat shut up. Try not calling at all. The birds will see your decoys. Live birds aren't always talkative as they paddle around in the water. If they want to land, they will, without any coaxing from you.
Secondly, toss the quacker in with the hunting supplies and go strictly with the pintail whistle. A single peep to a series of light peeps can do wonders. I've sucked in pintails, mallards, widgeon, teal and woodies with peeps on a pintail whistle. Another factor in birds getting spooked might just be your dark decoy anchor cord. Try a heavier weighted monofilament fishing line. Works as well and is nearly invisible.
Keep a few decoys in the blind with you. When the birds have passed by without much of a reaction, toss a decoy as high into the air as you can. Even if the flock has passed by, one or more members will see that and interpret it as a single coming in for a landing.
That single event can convince the whole flock to make a hard turn and come in for a landing to your dekes.
Current fishing
Boring holes through frozen lakes is a favored fishing activity this time of year, but with the warming afternoons, it's highly recommended to not try getting on any lake surface. While it may look good, ice quality has deteriorated to the point it can be dangerous. The heavy storms hitting the Midwest will eventually return to our region, so hopefully, you're taking advantage of the fair weather and getting in some quality fishing time now.
It's time to go through the tackle box and make sure you have enough hooks and weights, maybe re-spool the reel with fresh line and give the working mechanism of the reel a dab or two of fresh grease.
Lake Pardee: The closed sign will come down Thursday, Feb. 14. The re-opening is highly anticipated by anglers all over the north state. On that day, you can get a campsite, kick back and relax. Friday morning, Feb. 15, fishing for the 2013 season will begin with many anglers at the water well before the sun rises. The lake, as usual, will be planted with rainbows — private plants and from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Sacramento River: Sturgeon fishing in and around Collinsville is always a hot topic this time of year because good numbers are caught. Collinsville is just downriver from Rio Vista. Get the anchor down, and any sturgeon offering — the three shrimp baits, eel or salmon roe — is going to attract these big fish. Remember the new rules and regulations. First, how you measure a fish has changed. With the fish on its side, measure from the tip of the nose to the inside V notch of the tail. A legal sturgeon is now 40 inches minimum and 60 inches maximum. Also, you can no longer use the loop snare to tail the fish. The loop snare, commonly used to subdue and control the fish, has been outlawed. Lastly, two-hook setups are no-no's as well. You're allowed one barbless hook.
Lake Amador: They're still planting big numbers — like 600 pounds every weekday — of their Donaldson strain of cutthroat-rainbows. The numbers in the lake are increasing because the trout apparently don't like this cold weather any more than we do. Limits have been uncommon. Just about everybody tossing bait or lures is tallying a couple of fish. Those being caught, however, have been running three to six pounds. If the bite is off because of the cold, it might be because the fish have changed locations in the water column to find temperature more to their preference. If you have a boat, watch your scope closely to where you mark fish. If you fish from shore around the dam-spillway area, work different depths until you get bit. Don't wait for the wayward fish to stumble across your offering. Find them.
Bullards Bar: The lake is all but full, and bass fishing, especially for spotted, has been tremendous. Senkos are attracting well, as are a variety of swim baits. While you might have to wade through a bunch of 12- to 14-inchers, bass to nearly nine pounds are being caught.
Camp Far West: The more days we go without rain, the more this lake will clear and the fishing will turn to tremendous. It's still muddy, but it must be clearing, as the catching rate is going up. Work the sunny shorelines, where the water temperature will be a little higher. The bass are still mainly small, but Brush Hogs worked as much as 20 feet deep should get you bit.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The man who shot President Ronald Reagan is back in court for hearings on whether he should get to spend more time away from the psychiatric hospital where he has been living.
Lawyers spent two weeks in late 2011 early last year discussing plans that would expand John Hinckley's release privileges from Washington's St. Elizabeths Hospital. Hinckley has been allowed 10-day stretches at his mother's home in Virginia. Part of the plan was that Hinckley also would attend group programs at People's Place in Williamsburg, Va., but the treatment facility has since withdrawn its participation.
The hearing in federal court in Washington begins Monday and is expected to last no more than three days.

Matt Schnell wants people to know he's no flash in the proverbial pan.
"Danger" got his 15 minutes of fame on the MTV documentary-reality show "Caged," which chronicled fighters trying to get noticed in Louisiana. Now he wants to extend that 15 minutes well into the foreseeable future.
Schnell (0-0) on Friday makes his pro MMA debut at Legacy FC 14, and wants to change some minds.
Schnell meets fellow debuting pro Ryan Hollis (0-0) on the show, which takes place at Houston's Arena Theater. The main card, including Schnell-Hollis, airs on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).
"I'm very excited for it and I've trained hard for it," Schnell recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
That training takes place in Lafayette, La., with UFC vets Tim Credeur and Dustin Poirier. And though the drive to Houston will almost feel like a home fight for Schnell in his debut, he believes the experience he gets training with fighters the caliber of Credeur and Poirier will have him well prepared for Hollis – and anyone else who comes after him.
Schnell wants to make a successful debut, of course. But he also welcomes the opportunity to silence any critics who think he was a made-for-TV fighter who doesn't have a shot at taking this thing to the next level.
"There are a lot of people who think I'm just a kid who was on a TV show," Schnell said." But ask anybody I've trained with – and I've trained with some high-level people – I'm legit."
That isn't to say Schnell isn't appreciative of the opportunities being on MTV may have afforded him, though.
"The show came along and it's been a blessing for me," he said. "But if the show had never come along, I would have had made it eventually just because I'm a skilled fighter. I work hard and I'm dedicated to what I do."
Making the leap from the amateur ranks – where he was 10-2 – to the pros is pressure, for sure. And jumping right into a high-level regional promotion for his first fight, and having it on AXS TV, is a little added stress.
But Schnell said that's not going to be a problem.
"There's always been pressure on me my whole career," he said. "Things have never been easy on me, where I come from. I've always been the underdog. And I welcome that criticism that I'm a reality TV star.
"I think I'll open a lot of people's eyes come Sept. 14, and I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised by how well-rounded my skill set is and how capable I am of being a good fighter."

A metal bench at the Evans Towne Center Park was dedicated this morning in loving memory of Otis L. Crowell. (WRDW-TV / Oct. 31, 2012)
News 12 First at Five, October 31, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- A park bench in Evans has a special new honor.
A metal bench at the Evans Towne Center Park was dedicated this morning in loving memory of Otis L. Crowell.
Crowell lived in Columbia County for more than 40 years. He died last year and was a member of the Coalition of Quality Government. That organization paid to dedicate the bench.
His family says to have a place they can always come to honor him means the world.
"Columbia County means a lot to all of our family, and it's a real special day," said Linda Crowell, Otis' wife.
"It's nice to have this bench here to when we come here we can sit down and look over and my dad's here. So it's a really special thing," said John Crowell, Otis' son.
"I just think it goes to show the kind of government we have and county we have and that we recognize important people and the impacts they've made on our lives," explained Stacie Adkins, the Columbia County Recreation and Events manager.
Proceeds for the memorial park bench plaques support the Columbia County Arts Development fund. The fund helps provide financial support to nonprofit groups by helping them pay to rent county rental facilities. You can dedicate a bench for $1,300 or a park tree for closer to $500.

FORT GORDON, Ga. -- Boy Scouts set up camp at Fort Gordon on Friday, and since then, these young kids have been ready to learn.
"Today we've got Jimmie Dyess Day. It's in honor of Lt. Colonel Jimmie Dyess, a lieutenant coloner in the Marine Corps who earned a medal of honor," said Jeffrey LePak, chairman of the Boy Scouts of America.
The hands-on experience was the second Council Camporee held on the Fort Gordon post in more than two decades.
"We have 2,600 Boys Scouts and Cub Scouts from the South, CSRA and beyond to experience our professions in the military, so they're meeting with a variety of military organizations here," LePak said.
Boy Scouts had the opportunity to go repelling, observe military and public safety vehicles and train to be Army medics, among other exciting activities.
"I learned how to make a rocket for the second time, and they showed us some more science stuff of on how to make a homemade popper," said Christopher Clark, a Boy Scout from Hephzibah.
"We've learned how to tie knots. We've built little basket things and boxes," said another Boy scout, Cordell Negron from Virginia.
Organizers say this event helps mold the minds of our future leaders.
"Our goal here is to have fun. This is a chance for them to learn to be leaders. These are our future leaders, whether they're in the military or the community," LePak said.
Jimmie Dyess Day will continue until Sunday, and the scouts will continue to participate in competitions and engage in exciting activities.

(AUGUSTA) - In response to the concerns of its listeners, viewers, stakeholders, the governor and legislators, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN) has rescinded its plans to limit radio and television transmissions to the eastern and northern counties of the state.
"MPBN's decision to maintain transmitting both television and radio to the most northern and eastern counties of the state is welcome news. It recognizes that we are one state and all our people are equally important," Governor John Baldacci said. "In addition to providing educational and cultural programming, MPBN plays a key role in the state's emergency broadcasting system and those services must be maintained throughout the state."
MPBN had previously announced that it was considering ceasing transmissions from one television and two radio transmitters in Aroostook and Washington counties. The actions were part of an MPBN effort to cut the cost of operations because of reduced revenues. In addition to the reduced transmissions, MPBN also eliminated ten percent of its staffing and reduced employee compensation at all levels.
"MPBN has heard from the people of rural Maine and responded to their needs." Sen. Kevin Raye added. "I understand the financial pressures MPBN is under and I appreciate the sacrifices their management and staff are making in terms of their salaries and benefits as they seek to cut costs. As they work to achieve additional cost-savings, I am pleased they have expressed a commitment to ensure that no area of the state is targeted for losing service."
House Speaker Hannah Pingree agreed. "MPBN has demonstrated its dedication to providing quality programming and emergency operations to the state's citizens," Pingree, said. "We as a Legislature need to help ensure access to this essential programming. We are in hard times; we all recognize that, but maintaining in-depth news and public affairs, educational, cultural and emergency broadcasting to all the people of Maine is not an option, it is a necessity."
MPBN's management came to the decision to maintain transmission to the northern counties yesterday.
"One thing in which MPBN takes pride is its listening ability, that is, we hear what our listeners and viewers are saying. And, we heard that they wanted us to maintain our presence in eastern and northern Maine. We also heard our Governor and legislators concerns," Jim Dowe, MPBN president and chief executive officer, said. "We pride ourselves in being good stewards of the appropriations we receive from the state and federal governments, as well as all our individual, business and organization supporters. That is why we have made the difficult decisions such as reducing staffing and compensation, as painful as that was. And, we will continue to do whatever it takes to maintain MPBN's broadcast statewide. We appreciate the advice and assistance offered to us by the Governor and by legislative leaders, and we look forward to continuing to work cooperatively with them to meet the needs for statewide public broadcasting."
Dowe added that if any reductions in coverage had to be implemented, it would be done equitably over the entire state. However, he did not anticipate any reductions at this time. MPBN has seen a reduction in funding from several of its key sources. The majority of MPBN's funding comes from individual memberships, donors and business and organization underwriters and contributors. Additional funding is provided through appropriations from the federal and state governments. Revenue from all these sources has been reduced over the past year.
MPBN's audience, which numbers in the hundreds of thousands, continues to grow as Maine people place a high value in the areas of children's, news and public affairs, and cultural programming.

Deaths on Illinois highways have dropped for a fourth straight year.
The Illinois Department of Transportation says 1409 people died in traffic accidents in 2002. That is down slightly over the last two years and down nearly 50 from 1999.
State officials believe the Click it or Ticket campaign is a large factor in the decline.

The recruiting process is already beginning to take off for Trotwood-Madison corner Cameron Burrows. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound rising junior had a big sophomore season for the Rams and has recently been rewarded with a pair of verbal scholarship offers. "I have offers from Cincinnati and Missouri," said Burrows. "It feels pretty good to know that there are teams that are looking at me this early already." Living in the Dayton area, Burrows is pretty familiar with the Cincinnati program but admittedly he has a lot to learn about the Missouri program."I don't know too much about Missouri but their one coach (Cornell Ford) was pretty cool when I talked to him," Burrows said. "With UC, they have nice facilities and a new coach recently so they should be pretty good." Not only does Burrows have two early offers but many of the top programs in the Midwest are showing heavy interest in the big corner. "Colorado, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Ohio State are also recruiting me," he said. The Ohio State staff has clearly identified Burrows as one of the top class of 2013 targets in Ohio and co-defensive coordinator Jim Heacock recently stopped by the school to inquire about Burrows. The interest is definitely mutual. "I definitely like Ohio State," Burrows said. "I've been wanting to go there since I was young." One thing that is helping Burrows pick up some early offers is his impressive academic resume. Burrows holds a 3.4 grade-point average and already has a qualifying score of 19 on his ACT. "My parents make me focus on academics," he said. "I always have to come home and do my homework and get that done before I do anything else. It just became a habit and I like getting good grades. I don't like getting C's and D's and stuff like that and getting in trouble for it. I know that I'm going to have to get good grades in order to succeed in life. I thank my parents a lot, every time I tell a college coach my GPA, they get excited." With everything pretty much squared away in the classroom, Burrows is continuing to work hard on honing his craft as one of the premier corners in Ohio. One question that some may have is whether or not Burrows' size will ultimately mean a move to safety but Burrows likes the idea of just being a big, physical corner and is hoping to stay there at the next level. "I'm hoping that I can stay at corner and just be a big corner like Patrick Peterson," he said. "As long as I can keep doing a good job of getting out of my back pedals and keep the same speed then I should be able to get the job done at corner." Burrows will be one of the top underclassmen at the Ohio State NIKE Camp on Saturday and he's looking to show everyone why he's popping up on just about every 2013 watch list. "I just feel like I have to go out there and go hard and show everybody how good I really am at the camps instead of just going by my highlight tape," he said. Burrows is scheduled to camp at Ohio State on June 24th, it's his only scheduled camp so far.

With Memorial Day fast approaching, we'll hear much about times past and the benefits enjoyed today because of yesterday's sacrifices. At times like these I remember a favorite maxim from a former professor: you can tell a lot about a movement by how it defines its history.
Do you know your organization's story?
In our communications workshops, we often explore the power of stories. Generally, our focus is on transformative stories from patrons, clients, or volunteers and how their lives were improved. We use these stories to make our case and raise our funds.
But what about your organization's story? How have you captured that story? In what ways do you tell it to the public?
Over the next week or two, find your organization's story and spend some time with it. How does it inform what you're doing today? In what ways are you contributing to its legacy?
A well-told organizational story melds with the community's story, showing how we each play a role in making our home something worth telling others about.
Happy Memorial Day,

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This individual was an associate of Garrick Ollivander's.[3] He ran the Hogsmeade branch of Ollivanders Wand Shop for him.
Magical abilities and skills
- Charms: This individual had mastered many Charms, such as the Mending Charm,[4] weather-related charms,[4] the Freezing Charm[5] and the Herbivicus spell.[6] He also had knowledge of many more, such as the Levitation Charm,[4] the Aguamenti Charm,[6] the Wand-Lighting Charm[4], the Descendo spell[6] and the Summoning Charm.[7]
- Divination: He was somewhat skilled in Divination, as he could forsee costumers arriving in his shop.[4]
- Nonverbal magic: He could produce nonverbal spells smoothly, such as the Herbivicus spell[6] and the Freezing Charm.[7]
- Wandlore: This individual is knowledgeable in the complex science of wandlore.[8] It's unknown if he, being a wandkeeper, also makes wands or merely sells them.
Notes and references
- ↑ A callsheet for auditions for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Japan (transcription here) lists the wandkeeper at Ollivanders as being portrayed as between his mid-40s and 60s.
- ↑ He refers to a custumer's tattoos as "Odd Muggle... stuff" and when a young girl refers to "the film" he says "I have no idea what you're talking about". He also refers to a thumbs-up as "Muggle for 'yes'". As such, it is unlikely he grew up among Muggles.

Posts Tagged 'Mute Records'
Bleep Interviews Chris Carter / Cosey Fanni Tutti / Nik Void
Bleep: Could you give us a bit of background as to how the collaboration came together?
COSEY: Mute invited Chris and myself to play as part of Mute Short Circuit at the Roundhouse in May 2011. They mentioned that it would be good for fellow Mute artists to collaborate, which appealed to us. Then we started thinking of who we'd like to work with that would be different for us and we thought of Nik. We'd seen her play previous to Factory Floor and then with them so we knew and really liked her work.
NIK: I first met Chris & Cosey briefly at the ICA at Cosey Complex with Factory Floor, then later my manager at the time Paul Smith, who is also Chris & Cosey's, invited me to what he called a biggish do at the Tate where Cosey was performing. Her performance was an eye opener and blew me away just like Throbbing Gristle did when I first took home 2nd Annual Report from Mute's basement. So when I received the email from Cosey asking me to perform with them at the Roundhouse in May I was thrilled to say the least.
B: Did the three of you discuss a direction / vision for the set, or did the outcome purely take shape through improvisation?
C: We proposed a very loose approach to allow for as much freedom for us all as possible… just for Nik to come to our studio and jam to some rhythms together and see what happened. Then take that into a live situation as soon as possible to keep it fresh and energised. So the outcome was solely down to the improvisational approach we decided on from the get go.
B: Although the musical output from your respective camps takes different directions, do you think there are links that bind you together in terms of approach to sound and attitude? If so, how did these similarities – or differences – affect the creative process of working together?
C: I think the similarities of our approaches to sound making were crucial to the creative and working process. We're all pretty much very open minded to allowing for anything to take its place within what we create. It's a pretty physical process rather than theoretical. We feel our way through the sound working with the audio and its affects, drive and power. That's what's the most exciting thing for me personally, that we're all conduits and facilitators for the manifestation of a collective work. Chris and myself have always worked like that and we knew Nik had a very similar approach.
N: I think individually we have our own staple sounds and investigative approach to our tools/ instruments. As I was not sure where we would begin, I began playing in a way which was familiar, sounds I'm used to working with in Factory Floor – after a few moments of playing together though, these sounds started to bend and take on a shape that fitted nicely into Chris and Cosey's own language. It's a joy playing with two people who are so obviously in tune with each other and to be able to fit in is a real honour. I think one major factor that unifies us is the 'no fear' to instinctively push ourselves into territories that may nudge us out of our comfort zones, but it only really works well if you have trust in your peers. It was like they led me down a dark ally blindfolded, but I had total faith in were we were going.
B: I liked that the crowd responses were left unedited, I felt it gave a strange physicality, a human angle to the recording – Was there a conscious decision to invite the listener to that live environment rather than present the pieces as a traditional album experience?
C: We wanted to make the gig available as soon as possible because a release would complete the project. I guess the album stands as a documentation of intent, execution and conclusion. That makes it sound a bit cold which it most certainly wasn't. It was such a positively charged atmosphere at the gig and that energy from the audience was definitely instrumental in, and a contributing factor to the sounds we played live. The release also enabled the many people who couldn't get into the gig itself to hear it as it was – unedited, a direct recording. So I suppose it's not a 'normal' album – which hadn't even occurred to me to be honest. It just was what it was for us all.
B: Can we expect to see future collaborations between the three of you?
C: As we all have separate projects it's difficult to find time but we're hoping to get together again for sure.
