Two Parts:Getting Ready to Examine Your RabbitsIdentifying the GenderCommunity Q&A
Knowing your rabbit's sex is important for many reasons. It helps you to choose an appropriate name as well as avoiding unwanted pregnancy if you keep groups of rabbits together. It's also important to know because female rabbits are at risk of uterine cancer, which can be prevented if you spay her.[1] If you follow a few simple steps, you can determine the sex of your rabbit.
Part 1
Getting Ready to Examine Your Rabbits
1Determine the rabbit's age. If you have a litter of young rabbits, it's important to be aware they can start breeding from as young as 12 weeks. This means that it's important to separate the rabbits into same sex groups before or around 3 months of age.[2]
- It can be difficult to find the sex of a rabbit that is a few days old. You can attempt it at a younger age, but to definitively find the sex of your rabbits, wait until they are at least 4 weeks old.
2Start with the older rabbits. If you are not used to finding the sex of rabbits, it's best to start with an adult. If you have the parents of a litter of rabbits, you can take a look at the anatomy of the mother and father rabbit. This will help you see what a fully developed rabbit looks like.
- If you are still not confident, you can ask your veterinary clinic for help. Take your rabbits to your local veterinarian for help if necessary.[3]
3Get the rabbit into position with assistance. Pick a rabbit to start with. Like most mammals, the rabbit's genitals are between his back legs. To see this area, the rabbit needs to lie on his back. It is helpful to have an extra person around to hold the rabbit so you have both hands free. Get your helper to sit in a chair and cover her lap with a towel. This is in case the rabbit urinates.
- Tell her to use one hand to grasp the rabbit's scruff and use her other hand to scoop under his rump. She should then lift and turn the rabbit onto his back. Lay the rabbit with his head towards her stomach and tail on the edge of her knees. This will give you easy access to the genital area.[4]
- You may want to wear gloves since you are going to be touching a rabbit's genital regions. It is more hygienic as well as safer. You may unintentionally spread disease to the rabbit or to your other rabbits if you don't.[5]
4Position the rabbit by yourself. If you are checking a rabbit by yourself, flip the rabbit onto his back. To do this, place your index finger between the rabbit's ears and grasp the base of the head with your thumb on one side and your other three fingers on the other. With your other hand, cradle the rump and scoop the rabbit up.
- Once you have flipped your rabbit, place it between the arm holding the head and your body and let go of the rump. Your rabbit should be secure in one arm.
- You can also lay the rabbit on a low table. Gently but firmly hold them at all times. Make sure the table is low enough that, if the rabbit squirms enough to get away, jumping off the table won't injure him.[6]
Part 2
Identifying the Gender
1Find the genital region. To find the sex of your rabbit, examine the rabbit's external genitalia. While he is on his back, part the fur between his legs. You or your assistant should gently hold him in place while you part the fur with your hand.
- If he starts to squirm too much, try to sooth him by talking to him and petting him. You don't want him to get hurt while you are working. [7]
2Look for testicles. Male rabbits have testicles, which are visible on the outside of their bodies. These are located in his groin between the back legs. Rabbit testicles are long and narrow, rather than round and ball-like as on dogs. Look for two torpedo shaped bulges, one on either side below the skin. They are usually slightly furred and purple in color.
- The scrotum can be covered in fur, so you may need to dampen the fur in this area with water to make the testicles clearer to see.
- Testicles can usually be detected from 10 weeks of age. Before this age, they can be tiny and hard to spot reliably. However, no matter the rabbit's age, it's easy to check before you look for the penis.
- In a well-developed adult male rabbit, the answer will be obvious because you can spot his testicles right away.[8]
- If you don't spot testicles straight away, be aware that frightened rabbits can pull their testicles into the abdomen and make them disappear. Talk to the rabbit, stroke his side, and see if you can encourage him to relax. Then check a second time. If you still don't see them, it is inconclusive. Check the genital openings instead.[9]
3Check the genital openings. You now need to look to see if your rabbit has a vulva or a penis. To locate these, gently part the fur between the back legs until you identify a small mound. This area is the vent and contains the opening to the anus and the reproductive tract. To see it more clearly, apply gentle pressure on either side, which opens up the area and makes things clearer to see.
- The genital opening is the one farthest from the tail. Apply gentle pressure with a finger and thumb on either side of the opening. If the rabbit is female, you will see a slit like structure, commonly described as a letter I. If the rabbit is male you will see a round structure, which can be described as an O.
- The opening closest to the tail is the anus. This is identical in both males and females. If you look closely, you can check it is the anus by watching for the muscular winking of the anal ring.[10][11]
4Double check your findings. If you want to be extra sure, or it you cannot distinguish between the I and the O, you can double check your finding. Apply gentle pressure at the base of the opening, pushing gently towards the rabbit's back.
- If a penis is present, it will sometimes protrude and become more obvious as a tube like structure.
- If a vulva is present, the lips tend to peel back in a petal shape. [12]
5Don't rely on physical characteristics alone. There are some people that say you can tell the gender of a rabbit by looking at his physical characteristics. Although mature adult bucks can have a heavier skull than female rabbits, this is not a reliable way to sex a rabbit. Unfortunately, the external physical characteristics, such as the size and shape, are not distinctive enough between the genders to make this useful with regards to determining the sex of your rabbit.
- Always check the rabbit's genitalia to be completely sure of the sex of your rabbit. [13]
6Take the rabbit to the vet for verification. Checking your rabbit's sex at home is usually effective. If it is important that you know the sex of your rabbit for breeding or other purposes, take your rabbit to your vet for verification. The vet will be able to tell for sure what the sex of your rabbit is.
- If you have multiple rabbits, you can take them at the same time.
Community Q&A
Is it better to keep all males or all females?wikiHow ContributorIf you plan to keep your rabbits together in one cage, all females should be kept. Male rabbits will fight, sometimes to the death. But if you plan to keep your rabbits each in their own cages, either sex is acceptable.
Do male rabbits run around in circles around the female to mate?

D (series)
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
D is a series of survival horror games that follow the events of "digital actress" Laura and were developed by now-defunct WARP. The series officially began with 1995's D, then the 1996 game Enemy Zero and later the 1999 game D2. Japanese musical talent Kenji Eno directed and produced each game. The series is noted for its controversial nature (with extreme blood and violence, and a plot that involved cannibalism).[citation needed]
The first game in the series was a 1995 puzzle adventure game run entirely in full motion video, like many games of the mid-1990s. It was developed for the 3DO, and ported to other systems when it became a commercial success. D was heavily inspired by Polarware's (later Penguin Software) Transylvania graphic adventure series of similar theme.[1]
A series of limited editions were released. One of these was D's Diner: The Director's Cut. The director's cut featured new cinemas for the 3DO version (most scenes added were already featured in the Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions), an insert containing the game's story in detail, and Kenji Eno's soundtrack.
Enemy Zero[edit]
Enemy Zero combines the FMV-based puzzle gameplay of D with a first-person shooter where the enemy could not be seen, and sound had to be relied on for guidance. Enemy Zero began life on the PlayStation. Due to their low production runs on the PlayStation version of D, Kenji Eno became irritated with Sony, and released the game as a Sega Saturn exclusive instead. While Eno did the music for D, Michael Nyman was hired to create a score for Enemy Zero.
Released and received with much hype in Japan at the end of 1996, E0 was released in North America and Europe in 1997 under Sega Enterprises. In 1998, it was ported by Sega to the PC. Due to its popularity in Japan, Sega sponsored the support of a few Enemy Zero items, such as the official Enemy Zero soundtrack by Michael Nyman and a strategy guide. Both were published by Smiles, Inc.
D2 was the first game announced for Dreamcast, after the 3DO M2 was scrapped. Eno chose to start from scratch for the new system, even developing an entirely new plot. D2 was never released in PAL territories. It was the first game in the series to mix three types of games play: third person exploration, first person combat, and RPG. Due to its cult popularity in Japan, a comic book was released based on the game. It tells of Laura Lewis's journey, with a storyline similar to that of the game.
Recurring characters[edit]
The D series features several "digital actors", who appear in multiple games with the same likeness but different personalities, last names, and backgrounds. The "actress" Laura appears in D as Laura Harris, then in Enemy Zero as Laura Lewis and at last, in D2 as Laura Parton, while "actors" Kimberly and Parker appear in both Enemy Zero and D2.

Social interactions are highly sought-after and rewarding in many animals... Even when social interactions involve only one of our senses, they are still rewarding. For example, we like looking at photos of our friends on Facebook, or hearing the voice of a faraway relative via telephone. It's the same with other animals; not only is socialization rewarding and can be used as an incentive for learning, but just the sights, sounds, and even smells of others are also rewarding.

A new study using aerial imagery across the state of California has found that converting land to grow almonds between 2007 and 2014 has led to a 27% annual increase in irrigation demands—despite the state's historic drought.

What do you see in the picture? An elephant, right?
Some will say that they see an African elephant, or perhaps an elephant in the savannah protecting from the sun in the shade of a tree. But who sees an elephant and a majestic flowering baobab surrounded by savannah shrubs in a dry grass meadow?
If your answer is the latter, congratulations, you are a quite unique case. If in the picture you just see "an elephant" then you are just like most of the people around you.

According to new research, widespread adoption of genetically modified crops has decreased the use of insecticides, but increased the use of weed-killing herbicides as weeds become more resistant. This is the largest study of genetically modified crops and pesticide use to date. The team of economists studied annual data from more than 5,000 soybean and 5,000 maize farmers in the U.S. from 1998 to 2011, far exceeding previous studies that have been limited to one or two years of data.

Baseball And Bacon, Part 2
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a popular party game where people try to link themselves to the Hollywood star. In May 2012, the writers of the Riders Insider Blog discovered four links from Bacon to the Frisco RoughRiders. Today, nearly four years later, we present…four more links. Ladies and gentlemen, here it is once again. The Circle of Bacon.
The first chain begins with none other than Kevin Bacon. He was in Apollo 13 with Ed Harris, who uttered the famous quote "Failure is not an option." Harris was in Two Tickets to Paradise with Vanna White. White, best known as the hostess of Wheel of Fortune, was raised in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Myrtle Beach is home of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. The Pelicans are owned by the Greenberg Sports Group, an ownership group led by Chairman and Managing Partner Chuck Greenberg. Greenberg is also involved in the RoughRiders ownership as the Managing Partner and CEO. This completes chain one.
The second chain begins much like the first. Kevin Bacon was in Starting Over with Burt Reynolds, who was in Meet Wally Sparks with Geraldo Rivera. Rivera is an alumnus of the University of Arizona, located in Tucson. Tucson has hosted two different Minor League Baseball teams. The Tucson Padres served as the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres from 2011 to 2013, before moving to El Paso for the 2014 season. Previously, the city was home to the Tucson Toros dating back to the early 20th century. The team ultimately switched names to the Sidewinders and were the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks from 1998-2008. The Sidewinders were sold, moved to Reno, Nevada, and became the Aces after the 2008 season. Tucson is also home to many past and present-day baseball players, including Ian Kinsler, who was born and raised in the city. Kinsler is currently an infielder for the Detroit Tigers, but he was previously a Texas Ranger from 2006-2013. He played with the RoughRiders in 2004 and made rehab appearances in Frisco in 2009, 2010, and 2013.
Through current Riders manager Joe Mikulik, we can complete the third chain all the way back to the original source, Kevin Bacon. Mikulik was previously the manager of the Class A Asheville Tourists from 2000-2012 and was the team's all-time leader in wins as a skipper. The Tourists played a minor role in the 1988 film Bull Durham. In the film Kevin Costner's character, Crash Davis, finishes his baseball career with the Tourists after being cut from the Durham Bulls and breaks the all-time Minor League home run record. Costner starred in the movie with Tim Robbins, who played the character Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh. Robbins and Bacon were cast as brothers in the movie Mystic River.
Lastly, Kevin Bacon was in Sleepers with Tom Signorelli. Signorelli was in The Trip with Michael Nader, who was in Bikini Beach with Donna Loren. Loren served as the "Dr Pepper Girl", acting as the company's spokesperson from 1963 to 1968. Dr Pepper, of course, holds naming rights of Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Frisco RoughRiders.
These chains explain how everyone in the world quite possibly could be connected to Kevin Bacon. Are you?

Lights, camera, action! Riders shine in the spotlight
Tonight, for the second time this season, a Frisco RoughRiders game will be aired on Fox Sports Southwest.
During the last homestand, it was announced that the network will be airing at least eight Riders games during the 2016 season. The first game was a huge success, with fans across four different states tuning in to watch Frisco defeat the San Antonio Missions 6-5.
Ronald Guzman and Alex Burg both slugged home runs, as the Riders capped off their first four-game sweep of the Missions. Watch the highlights below:
RoughRiders broadcaster Nathan Barnett was joined by analyst Mike Bascik, a former Rangers pitcher, and Paul Kruger, the Assistant Director of Player Development for the Rangers. Tonight, Rangers Senior Director of Player Development Mike Daly will be on the air with Barnett as the RoughRiders host the Midland RockHounds.
In the past, select Riders games have been televised on KTXD 47. While this provided fans across the Metroplex with an opportunity to watch Riders games, it excluded additional fans from the remainder of the state and region.
Now, fans from the DFW area and beyond have the opportunity to watch the games on television tonight and at least six other times this year. Fox Sports Southwest reaches over 10 million cable and satellite TV homes in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, as well as nationally via satellite television and streaming online with Fox Sports Go.
After tonight's 7:05 p.m. game against Midland, Fox Sports Southwest will air the following remaining RoughRiders games this season. Make sure to tune in on these dates and catch the Riders in action!

Rehabbing with the Riders: Chris Gimenez
This week has been an eventful one for the RoughRiders, winning all five games at home. The Riders have also been joined by Rangers catcher Chris Gimenez, another highlight of the past few days in addition to the success on the field. Gimenez was added to the roster earlier this week on a rehab assignment.
During the Major League veteran's time here in Frisco, Gimenez has been assisting the younger players and giving valuable advice to everyone in the clubhouse. Earlier this week, we caught up with him and chatted about the experience. Here is an excerpt from the interview.
Steve Goldberg: You had a chance to meet a bunch of these guys at Spring Training. What did you know about the Riders players coming in to your rehab assignment?
Chris Gimenez: It's just a good group of goofballs. The one thing I've noticed is that they keep the clubhouse extremely light and it's a lot of fun. There's a lot of music and a lot of talking. I think that's good. That's something you don't see a lot of these days, with the iPads and iPhones. Everyone is in their chair playing on their different device. But this group is a good, close-knit group. These guys are having fun.
SG: How does being back here now compare to your own experience as a Minor Leaguer?
CG: This is the nicest ballpark I've ever played in aside from the big leagues, so it doesn't make you feel like you're in the Minor Leagues. From the ballpark, to the crowd, to the scenery around here, everything is gorgeous. Like I said, they take such good care of us around here that it really doesn't make you feel like you're in the Minor Leagues at all.
SG: Did you have experience working with Major League players on rehab assignments when you were in the Minors coming up?
CG: Absolutely. And at every level too. I always remember it being a really cool experience, just to try to talk to some of the guys. I've had some conversations with a couple of the guys down here that I've known for a little while as well. It's nice to offer any sort of advice or just be there as someone to listen. Sometimes, you just need a deaf ear to fall on and somebody that you can just go out and have a normal conversation with. Someone that's not a coach, someone that's not trying to give you four different things you can do to fix your swing or to throw a strike. It's the same for me. When you're struggling, you just want to get out of it as quick as you can. But a lot of times, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to do that. I think the biggest part of it is just trying to be relaxed as possible. Try to keep it like you were playing in Little League. We never had slumps in Little League because we always had fun doing it. That's the motto I try to portray when I talk about stuff like that.
SG: You're fighting for a spot as a catcher on the Rangers [25-man] roster. Does that competition impact you at all during these rehab games?
CG: Not at all. It's out of my control. The only I can control is just trying to get myself back, in the best game shape I can possibly be in, and put myself in a position for them to have to make a decision on it. As much as I would like to say it's in my control, I know it's not. They're going to have a decision to make.
So far, Gimenez is 5-for-14 (.357) with a home run and three RBI in four games with the Riders. He will be joined by fellow Rangers rehabbers Josh Hamilton tonight and Yu Darvish tomorrow.

Baseball term of the day: baby act – A play considered "ungentlemanly" in the late 19th century, such as a bunt or an intentional base on balls.
(term from The Dickson Baseball Dictionary)
Cordell crushes his way into the record books
Ryan Cordell etched his name into the RoughRiders record books in the second inning of last night's 5-2 victory over Corpus Christi.
Cordell blasted his second grand slam of the season, which is awfully impressive. But in addition, it was also his second one of the week. His first one was on Saturday against Northwest Arkansas.
With two grand slams already, Cordell became the only Minor Leaguer to reach that mark so far in 2016. He joins Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper as the only other player in professional baseball to accomplish the feat this year.
Cordell has already surpassed Frisco's total number of grand slams as a team last season. The Riders only hit one, coming off the bat of Pat Cantwell on June 24 against Midland. Frisco's largest number of grand slams as a team in a single regular season is five, occurring in both 2009 and 2013.
Last year, Renato Nunez (Midland) hit grand slams on back-to-back days against Frisco on September 5 and 6. The RockHounds hit more grand slams in 2015 than any other team in Texas League with seven, while the RoughRiders were tagged for a league-high five.
The last time the Riders hit grand slams in the same week as a team was in 2013. Ryan Rua knocked one out against Corpus Christi on August 28, and Teodoro Martinez followed with another on September 1 at Midland.
Prior to Cordell, Brett Nicholas was the most recent Rider to hit two grand slams. His were also in 2013, on April 28 against Corpus Christi and August 18 facing Tulsa.
Mike Olt and Chris McGuiness hit grand slams two days apart in 2012, on June 9 and 11 against San Antonio and Midland, respectively. McGuiness went on to slug another one later in the season on August 12 at Northwest Arkansas.
Jason Botts and Ian Kinsler were the only RoughRiders to hit grand slams in the same game on July 21, 2004. Botts' grand slam came off San Antonio's Felix Hernandez, just over a year before "King Felix" made his Major League debut with Seattle in August 2005.
Cordell joins Nicholas, McGuiness, and Chad Tracy as the only players to hit two grand slams in the same season for the Riders. Tracy's two came in 2009 on July 10 against Springfield and August 7 against San Antonio. Adam Fox also had two grand slams for Frisco, one in 2005 and another in 2009.
33 different players have combined to hit 38 grand slams for the Riders in team history. However, nobody has ever hit more than two. But if the bases are loaded again for Cordell in his time with Frisco, he will have a chance to become the first.
Riders grand slams by year (regular season only):

Rangers vs. RoughRiders
Spring training provides the chance for players to prepare for the upcoming season. For those in the front office, it's no different. Events go on year-round at the ballpark including the recent One Direction concert. Preparations for these events take many people working hard behind-the-scenes to make everything appear to be flawless.
The exhibition game between the Frisco RoughRiders and the Texas Rangers was no different and helped to kick off this year's baseball season and introduced players to the North Texas community.
Fans lined up at the gates hours before first pitch anticipating seeing some of their favorite players. The teams played before a sold-out crowd of over 10,000.
RoughRiders alums Ian Kinsler and Elvis Andrus smile outside their former clubhouse. Fellow alum Scott Feldman also played during the exhibition game.
A member of the field crew puts the final touches on painting the RoughRiders logo on the field before the game.
Josh Hamilton is interviewed by members of the media before the exhibition game began. He hit an RBI double in the first inning to drive in two runs for the Rangers.
Company B Texas Ranger David Armstrong waits in front of the home dugout with Daisy. He was packing and throwing the heat delivering the ceremonial first pitch.
Ron Washington takes time out to sit in the dugout before the game began.
Mike Olt signs autographs for fans before the game. The 23-year-old Connecticut native was promoted to Frisco after splitting time last season between the Arizona Rangers and the High-A Myrtle Beach.
The Rangers played a series of exhibition games playing against the Round Rock Express, the Diablos Rojos del Mexico and the Frisco RoughRiders. They opened their season with a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Dave Anderson and Steve Buechele meet at home plate to exchange rosters and wish the other luck under the gaze of the watchful umpires. This is Buechele's third season at the helm of the RoughRiders.
The crowd cheered for Bridgette Hammers' rendition of the national anthem.
Josh Hamilton focuses on the flag while Ron Washington bows his head as the national anthem is sung.
The grass berm provided a great vantage point for families looking to relax on a warm, sunny day.
Left-handed hurler Tim Murphy eyes the plate with his first pitch of the game. Murphy gave up two runs in the first inning after hits by Josh Hamilton and Michael Young.
Yu Darvish, the Japanese phenom, threw four scoreless innings and struck out five RoughRiders in his North Texas debut. In his first MLB start, he led the Rangers to a win over the Seattle Mariners.
One of the two hits Darvish gave up was a single from Val Majewski. Majewski advanced to third on a single by Ryan Strausborger but the rally was cut short after a ground out by Zach Zaneski.
Darvish's debut attracted over 100 members of the media. More than 20 of them were from his native Japan.
Jake Brigham came in during the fourth inning giving up an RBI triple to Frisco alum Craig Gentry. Gentry was 2 for 3 on the day also singling and scoring during the sixth inning.
David Murphy swings and misses on a pitch to Zach Zaneski. Murphy would account for one of Texas' six runs after moving to second on a squeeze bunt from Craig Gentry, a wild pitch and a squeeze bunt by Jose Felix.
Young Rangers fans take the time out from the action to take a quick picture.
Chris McGuiness and Mike Napoli watch intently for the possible throw to first. The RoughRiders stranded three base runners over the course of the game.
The vantage point from the Dr Pepper Patio gives fans the perfect opportunity to catch up while watching the game.
Nothing misses catcher Zach Zaneski's eyes as he points towards second base.
An overthrow at second base allows Charlie Villanueva to slide in safely. The throw was backed up and no runs were allowed to score.
Michael Young waves to the fans with a smile on his face while walking with Elvis Andrus back to the clubhouse. The Rangers won over the Roughriders 6 to 1.

5.0 stars 15 totalReview Martin Leibowitz
Posted by James G Peterson
By far the best decision I have ever made to hire him. He settled my case for far more than I ever imagined I would get. I would highly recommend this firm.
Posted by Wayne
Martin was highly recommended to us from another person who has also had a positive experience.
Martin was very pro-active in securing information to move forward with my case:
1) Securing records regarding the case.
2) Reviewing all the material pertaining to the case (police reports, company reports, drs'. diagnosis and recommendations, follow-up, and final resolution for case.
3) Communicating all activity and next steps in a very timely manner.
4) Returning all my phone calls same day or next day.
He provided good information and legal advise always keeping the client's (me) best interest at heart.
He established a very strong client-attorney relationship making me feel like his only client.
I highly recommend Martin Leibowitz and give him a 5 star rating.
Posted by Dale
I think Mr. Liebowitz did a great job in handling my case, he did everything he said he would do and work hard. Mr. Liebowitz spent a lot of time dealing with other people on my behalf and if I ever need an attorney again I will be using him if it is the same kind of case.
Anonymous review posted on
Because of Mr. Leibowitz's expertise and sound knowledge about the Heart and Lung Bill regarding workers comp he was able to help my mother with the unexpected passing of my father. His office was always on top of things and very responsive. We owe him more than what words can say! Great attorney! We definitely recommend him to all law enforcement, corrections officers, fire fighters, etc. who need guidance in regards to the State of Florida Heart and Lung bill.

Mr. Leibowitz was very at tentative to my case. He fought veery aggressively for me. He is very knowledgeable. I felt very confident going into my medigation hearing. He explain the process the whole way through. Each step he would counsel me. Never felt coerced into doing anything. REALLY FELT THAT I WAS NOT JUST A NUMBER BUT MR LEIBOWITZ FOUGHT FOR ME AS HIS CLIENT.

Many months back my life was changed forever as a result of an on the job injury. That is when I met Martin Leibowitz. A man of integrity, knowledge, experience and honesty. I do not say this because I was awarded all things that he petitioned for, which he did (btw), but because it is what I witnessed from him from beginning to end with my case. Martin , yes first name basis, took the time to talk to me personally. He was always honest and up front regarding what I should expect, as well as what he needed from me. I never felt like I was involved in a legal battle because he took on that part of the burden for me. It is not just I who earned respect for and would highly recommend Martin Leibowitz services. I saw the respect in the faces of those he shook hands with, passed in the hallways, and sat across from in mediation. I do not know what Jacksonville will do if he ever retires!!

Martin is an extraordinary lawyer, with an extensive knowledge of the law. Simply put he's amazing. Sometimes there are obstacles in life that are hard to get through and your unsure how your going to survive through them. My fiance and I are obviously worried about not only the present but the future as well, I have to admit this has been one of the most testing experiences of our lives. I can only imagine what it would have been like without Martin...His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. He has been there every step of the way and always has an answer for what we have to do next. I can't go into detail about our case, as it is still ongoing, but I can say from your first conversation with Martin, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concerns we've raised are immediately addressed. Phone calls are returned in a timely manner. And there is never a complaint from his staff. They are always courteous and attentive, making us feel that our case is the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality we are likely one of hundreds of clients. We wholeheartedly recommend Martin Leibowitz. This is the first time we have had a positive experience with a lawyer which is why I felt compelled to write a review. Thank you Martin for being here for us in our time of need.

Martin Leibowitz has assisted me with a workers comp claim, he was referred to my husband by Police Benevolent Association Heart and Lung Bill. My husband John had trust and respect for Mr. Leibowitz, he also felt confident that Mr. Leibowitz was going to take care of any legal workers comp situation if something was to happen to him. My husband always reminded me that if anything happens to him to make sure that I call Mr. Leibowitz. My husband passed away May 9, 2012 and I called Mr Leibowitz. Mr Leibowitz immediately took over the case. Mr Leibowitz has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced with Florida's Worker's Compensation laws. Mr. Leibowitz and his staff have shown compassion for my situation and have gone "above and beyond" to keep me informed every step of the way. He handle my case very delicately and protected me from having to go into a court house to discuss my husband. We have been very successful in winning everything that was requested. I would highly recommend Martin Leibowitz to anyone with a Worker's Comp issue. Mr. Leibowitz even went as far as changing the law on how to receive benefits payments. It use to be that you could only get your benefit by mail, now you can receive benefits by direct deposit.
I greatly appreciate, respect and absolutely highly recommend Mr. Martin Louis Leibowitz.

And, so far the only person arrested for trying to vote more than once was a Republican. Gee, I wonder who is watching the polls?
November 6, 2012 9:56 pm
Of course in Nevada, where Harry Reid's machine is running full time to ensure Obama wins THAT state, do you really blame a poor Republican for trying to offset some of the illegally garnered Democratic votes?

Congressman: "Paramilitary Raid" at Bundy Ranch Was Unconstitutional
Probably fearing a Waco-style public relations disaster, the federal Bureau of Land Management ended their standoff with the Bundy family in Nevada last weekend. Now comes the fallout: Republican Congressman Steve Stockman wrote an open letter accusing the government of conducting an illegal "paramilitary raid" against the Bundy family.
Stockman argues that–surprise, surprise–the government was abusing its authority in the Bundy standoff.
"Because of this standoff," he wrote, "I have looked into BLM's authority to conduct such paramilitary raids against American citizens, and it appears that BLM is acting in a lawless manner in Nevada."…He cited the limited powers granted to the federal government, noting the bureau has no "right to assume preemptory police powers, that role being reserved to the States," and explained "many federal laws require the federal government to seek assistance from local law enforcement whenever the use of force may become necessary."
[A]mple evidence has surfaced indicating the standoff between the government and the Nevada ranching family is far from over. Throughout the weeklong stalemate, members of the Bundy family were physically assaulted by armed officers, numerous cows were shot dead, and protesters faced threats of gunfire for merely expressing their outrage.
Good for Stockman. It's important for people who respect the Constitution to stay vigilant, because it's possible the BLM will resume their attack on the Bundy family when no one is paying attention and the risk of a PR fiasco isn't as high.

This essay first appeared under my byline in the June 2005 issue of Wisconsin Trails Magazine.
These images are indelible. A primal force looms therein. Although that force remains inexplicable, it was strong enough to eventually bring me back home--home to Wisconsin.
I found that the idyllic rural neighborhood of my boyhood had given way to a shopping mall and a cloverleaf interchange for the new interstate freeway (that I still call Ike's Folly). To escape the sprawl I went a few miles north and settled on the shore of the Mississippi in the village of Trempealeau. Now I've been here longer than I've been anywhere. At 52, I am just old enough to realize what a short span a half century is.
A daily walk along the river and over the top of Brady's Bluff Trail at Perrot State Park provides the solitude for peeking through the open crack that memory leaves in the door of time. Rosy, my Chocolate Lab, isn't the least bit nostalgic. We cut through a gnarly growth of sumac, hackberry, hickory, and poison ivy at the end of the back yard to make our way to the river road below. The wake of a northbound towboat breaks against the river's shore and I think back to the first time I stood on this spot.
I was among a group of eight or nine towheaded boys clambering from the back of a 1958 Plymouth station wagon. At the foot of Main Street an arrow-shape sign pointed upriver: Entrance to Perrot State Park--1 Mile. Before the car had sputtered out of sight an argument began over the correct pronunciation of Perrot. The debate was settled by vote; the boys of Fauver Hill Boy Scout Troop 48 elected to pronounce the French fur trader's name the same as the talking bird. We weren't the last to make this mistake.
Dating back to 1858, the remains of the Melchoir Brewery still capture the imagination of all who walk this road as we did on that summer day in 1964. Legend has it that Jacob Melchoir tipped the scales at 400 pounds. During the twenty years that Melchoir and his family brewed beer here, it is said that an occasional raftsman, determined to establish his reputation in the brotherhood of blowhards who navigated huge lumber rafts downriver, would invite Melchoir to a duel of fisticuffs. Such challenges were often offered up long after the Melchoirs had turned in for the night. Unamused, the giant would lumber onto the street, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The confrontation never consisted of more than the young rooster being hoisted with one hand by the seat of the pants and another massive paw at the scruff of the neck. Once in the brewer's ineluctable grip, the hooligan was dispatched into the Mississippi River and drowsy Jacob returned to his slumbers.
How I wish I could remember what I saw that day! What the little house on the hillside above the old brewery--a house that would someday be home to my own family--might have looked like then, I've no idea.
But looking south from that place now, the same river and sky are still bisected by the Minnesota bluffs. I love to watch the Amtrak train cross the tiny bridge at the base of the three bluffs where Big Trout Creek joins the Father of Waters on the Minnesota side of the channel. Now I find comfort in standing still while others race by.
Rosy has little patience with my daydreaming. She tugs at the leash. Heading west, I read the names on mailboxes. Only one or two are of families who have been here for generations. Most, like me, stumbled onto this place by the twists of fate that make up their own stories. I wonder if they know about the days when this quiet road was a bustling business district. When a mill was built in 1856, the village enjoyed a period of rapid growth and inflated land values. As many as fifteen steamboats landed here every day. When their cargo was unloaded they took on bushels of wheat bound for bigger markets.
In 1888 a fire broke out in the butcher shop that destroyed most of the district. By then railroads had ended the halcyon days of steamboats. In rebuilding, Trempealeau turned its back to the river and moved up the hill, never living up to the expectations of early land speculators.
Now the excursion steamer Julia Belle Swain makes her way upriver from La Crosse to Winona. I give the riverman's two-handed wave. The pilot rewards me with a long, mournful moan of the steam whistle and a bit of the past echoes once again.
Just before the entrance to Perrot State Park the trail is separated from the raised roadbed of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway tracks by the mingling of the backwaters of the Mississippi and Trempealeau rivers. Walk quietly and you'll glimpse a world you thought existed only in a Mark Twain story: barefoot kids fishing with cane poles, turtles lined up to sun on the limbs of trees fallen across the water.
I leave the river trail at the historical marker designating the site where Nicholas Perrot was believed to have camped during the winter of 1685-86; archaeologists now tell us they have no solid evidence to support the claim. One local gent, clearly upset by the prospect of having his history revised, argues that Perrot was simply a very tidy fellow who "wouldn't go leaving a bunch of archaeological trash lying about." The site was, in fact, occupied by the French at the end of the Fox Wars under the command of Rene Godefroy sieur de Linctot. It appears our Tricentennial Celebration of 1985 may have taken place about 46 years ahead of time.
Across the road from the market commemorating Perrot's post is on less conspicuous but more accurate, on the spot where the boys of CCC Camp 2606 (Civilian Conservation Corps) set out on their own trail to adulthood. I feel a powerful bond with the spirits of those young men of the New Deal agency. A single generation separated the beginning of their journey from my own, yet their path was fraught with perils I can only imagine. On my desk there is a photograph, a winter scene of six of those fellows outfitted in wool, canvas, denim, flannel, and leather. Pausing from their work, hammers dangling from the loosened grips of their toughened hands, they balance on the timbers that make up the roof trusses of the small shelter they are building at the top of Brady's Bluff. They seem oblivious to the fact that they are standing within spitting distance of a 1,600 year-old Hopewell burial mound. Instead, each young man peers directly into the camera's lens, directly into the future.
Now Rosy shuffles, panting, into the cool shade of that shelter and plops down beneath the wooden bench that runs along its three walls. Like thousands of travelers before us I am awed by the sight of the sacred mountain that rises from the water to the west, Hay-nee-ah-chah to the Ho-Chunk. The French, who fared well in these environs by assimilating the ways of the woodland people, called it la montagne qui tremp a l'eau, "the mountain steeped in water." There are a few old trappers around who still call it Rattlesnake Mountain, a name early settlers used on account of the abundance of timber rattlers that discouraged intruders. They are all good names.
My eyes sting from salty sweat as I wipe my forehead on the sleeves of my T-shirt. When my breathing comes easier it occurs to me that to walk this steep trail through the woods and traverse this high goat prairie awash in June wildflowers will always connect me to my Boy Scout youth. To stand next to this river is to bear witness to the physical incarnation of time itself, to recognize, if only for a moment, my place in its flowing.
"C'mon, Rosy," I say. "Let's go home. It's all downhill from here."

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did little to help his cause for being one of the first - if not the first - player taken in the upcoming NFL draft.
Inaccuracy was a word used a lot Monday. The Houston Chronicle reports more than 10 of the 65 passes thrown were either misses or drops.
"Me being a perfectionist, it was nowhere near where I wanted it to be," Bridgewater said. "It's a learning process. I was able to take away something from those throws and just tell myself that, 'Hey, keep hitting the guy in the left shoulder.' Or, 'Keep hitting the guy in stride.' But, overall, I just felt I had a great day."
