ORIGINAL: shaman
It occurred to me as I was pondering this yesterday that your hunting situation dictates a lot of this. For instance, if you are the kind of turkey hunter that ranges over vast areas of public land the idea of a pop-up must seem like the stupidest thing on Earth. I can't imagine trying to schlep mine over the stuff I used to try and cover when I hunted places like the Big South Fork and Dan'l Boone NF. Yikes. I can also imagine coming on some snerd 100 yards from the road set up in one of those goofy things-- I'd have laughed my ass off.
And we have a winner! The same truism always surfaces in the traditional "Run and Gun" vs "Call and Wait" threads that we frequently see. Your hunting style is (and usually should be) dictated by size and type of property you hunt. R&G on a huge piece of public land is probably the way to go. In southern Michigan the land has been divided into small 10 and 20 acre parcels...you just can't afford to march all over your hunting land, upsetting squirells, spooking deer, bumping birds and setting off the woods wide alarm system. Putting your butt in one spot is the secret to hunting deer or turkeys in these small areas and pop ups help facilitate that. As Shaman mentioned, it doesn't matter whether it's a brush blind or your back against a tree...but sit you must in these areas to be successful on a consistent basis.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The differences in how the House and Senate are handling Medicaid this session provide a glimpse into the contrasting leadership style of the two presiding officers and also of the relationships between the members of the two chambers.
Bickering and the gnashing of teeth in the House have led to the killing this session of legislation that would in essence reauthorize the Division of Medicaid after June 30. It is important to note that all agree that Medicaid will be reauthorized, but at this point in the session, because of the House action, it will take extraordinary measures to revive legislation to keep the health care agency going.
In the Senate, the issue has not been nearly as controversial. The Senate leadership introduced a Medicaid technical amendment bill, as is done most sessions, with the code section dealing with eligibility. Having that section of the law in the bill means it a member could offer an amendment to expand eligibility to cover those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level or about $15,000 annually.
The federal Affordable Care Act gives states the option to expand Medicaid with the U.S. government paying all costs for the first three years and eventually paying 90 percent.
Most Mississippi Republicans say they oppose the expansion in part because the state cannot afford it, though there are conflicting studies.
Senate Public Health Chair Dean Kirby, R-Pearl, who said he opposes the expansion, opted to leave the code section to allow the expansion in the Medicaid technical amendments bill. Kirby reasoned that it is important to leave all options on the table throughout the session to learn more about the consequences of not participating in the expansion.
For instance, a decision not to participate in the expansion could result in layoffs and possible closures at many Mississippi hospitals. They currently receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to reimburse them for a portion of the uncompensated care they deliver.
But those federal payments could go away or at least be dramatically reduced under the assumption that people will have insurance through Medicaid so there will be much less uncompensated care.
During the process of the Senate passing its bill, it appears that Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the Senate, quietly went to key Democrats and said let's not fight at this point over whether to expand Medicaid. Instead, let's keep the bill alive until more is known about how the decision to expand Medicaid or not will impact the state.
The result is that the Medicaid bill passed with almost nary a squeak.
Meanwhile, over in the House, the leadership introduced its technical amendments bill in a manner that would prevent the opportunity to offer an expansion amendment.
The minority Democrats were able to kill that bill, which needed a three-fifths majority to pass, saying they would rather deal with the Senate bill.
At that point, Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, took the unusual step of sending the aforementioned Senate Medicaid bill to his Rules Committee to kill it.
Gunn said he wanted to kill the Senate bill because there are not enough votes on the House floor to pass an expansion amendment, which Democrats surely would offer, and thus lengthy and divisive debate on the issue would be pointless.
There have been numerous lengthy debates during Gunn's short tenure as speaker on issues ranging from charter schools to immigration. Last session he had the House in session well past midnight to debate a immigration bill that died uneventfully in the Senate.
As the minority leader during the previous term, it seemed at times Gunn's primary mission was to engage the House in lengthy and divisive debate.
The House's current minority leader, Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, said in reality Gunn went to such extreme measures to kill the Senate bill because if the legislation reaches the House floor many Republican, feeling pressure from their local hospitals, will cross party lines to vote for expansion.
Whatever the reason, how the issue has been handled by the two chambers is as different as night and day. Part of that is that because the Senate is smaller – 52 members compared to 122 – it is more congenial and there is less contentious debate.
But the flip side is that debate – even lengthy debate – often is part of legislative process. The result is at this point there is no legislation alive to re-authorize the Division of Medicaid.

Gonzaga rolls past Monmouth to move to 4-0
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University women's basketball team rolled to a 77-51 victory over Monmouth University Sunday evening in front of a near capacity crowd at the McCarthey Athletic Center. The Bulldogs, who improved to 4-0 with the victory and had 5,561 in attendance to witness the 26-point victory, had 12 of their 14 players score, led by junior Haiden Palmer with 14 points.
Palmer scored six of the Zags first eight points of the contest and had 12 of her 14 in the opening 20 minutes to help Gonzaga to a 40-23 halftime advantage.Gonzaga rolls past Monmouth to move to 4-0
Palmer, sophomore Sunny Greinacher and senior Taelor Karr were the ones to help break open the game in the first half as they combined for all nine points in a crucial 9-0 run that turned a three point edge into a 10 point lead at 17-7 with 13:53 left in the first. Karr put the stamp on the run as she drained a 3-pointer on a pass from Palmer which forced Monmouth to call a timeout.
Gonzaga's lead ballooned to 31-15 with 6:52 remaining. Freshman Chelsea Waters and Elle Tinkle both got into the action during this stretch with Waters scoring four points and Tinkle sinking two free throws and assisting on a Greinacher jumper.
Greinacher and classmate Keani Albanez chipped in eight points each in the opening half and the Zags shot an impressive 55.6 percent (15-of-27) from the field to claim the 17 point lead at intermission.
A 6-2 run right out of the second half gate pushed the Bulldogs lead over 20-points. It was junior Jazmine Redmon that gave GU the 21-point cushion at 46-25 when she picked Betsy Gadziala and scored a fast break layup.
Gonzaga held its lead above 20 for the remainder of the contest and grabbed its largest lead of 28 points at the 2:06 mark on a 3-pointer by senior Meghan Winters.
Sophomore point guard Maiki Viela scored seven points in the second half for Gonzaga – a new career high, while junior Stephanie Golden chipped in nine on 4-of-5 shooting in the final 20 minutes.
Thirteen players would go on to see action in the final 20 minutes for Gonzaga with only three playing 10 or more minutes.
"After we got a good enough lead during the second half, after the starting group played four or five minutes we wanted to shut them down, mainly because of our upcoming tournament," explained head coach Kelly Graves of spreading the minutes. "We have three games in three days. We travel most of the day Monday and then have games Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. After just playing a very physical game here Friday night, that's a lot of basketball to ask."
Of the 14 players to see the court for GU, only two played more than 20 minutes and all but two played over 10.
For the game, Gonzaga shot 51.7 percent (31-of-60) from the field, held the 36-34 rebounding advantage and tallied 25 points off of Monmouth's 21 turnovers.
The Hawks (0-3) were led by Alysha Womack with 21 points.
Gonzaga now travels to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for the Hardwood Tournament of Hope Tournament. The Bulldogs open the tournament against Missouri State University Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. PT.

Short Characteristic:
The Starboard EVO 75 is an excellent allrounder with special performance in big waves and turns over the front leg. The board runs extremely smooth and it is easy to ride. It can be really recommended for the freestyle or freeride use on flat water as well.
On shore:
Starboard shaper Tiesda You gave the Evo 75 a flat deck and unobtrusive double concaves in the underwater hull. As always one screwdriver fits all, inclusive the screw for the 23 cm long US-Box fin. The footpads are comfortable and big. Also the footstraps got upgraded - they are now softer. Due to the bigger outer shell the footstraps are now easier to make bigger.
In the water:
Already after a few meters on the Starboard Evo you have to recheck the volume size on the deck, to make sure, you did not take the 80 liter board accidentally. The Starboard lies very stable and solidly in the water and gives you a safe feeling when crossing the white water. As well the riding performances (planing, acceleration) are great, which satisfies wave beginners and experts likewise. Someone who uses his waveboard as well in flatwater will appreciate the quiet running and the cushioned feeling. But not at all is the Evo not radical. Especially when sailing long drawn-out turns over the front leg in big waves the board scores high. The Starboard allows all radii, equal wide or radical narrow, without restriction. However the board has a bit less turning quality compared to the JP or Fanatic. But particularly for heavier sailors (> 80kg) this should not be a problem. In weak wave conditions like at the North Sea or Baltic Sea the board keeps the speed in the bottom turns brilliantly and provides still enough speed for the cutback.
Surf-Tip: Top allrounder

Wicking outer layer facilitates evaporation
Absorbent middle layer stores H2O for evaporation
Comfortable inner layer transfers cooling effect
Side-release buckles for easy on and off
Reflective trim for low-light visibility
Help your dog beat the heat with the innovative Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest from Ruffwear. Just soak the vest in cold water, wring it out, and fasten around your dog. Like an actual swamp cooler, evaporative cooling exchanges the dog's heat with the coolness of the stored water in the coat to keep them comfortable and ready to run that extra mile. The Swamp Cooler Vest is constructed with three layers for maximum cooling effects. The wicking outer layer facilitates evaporation, the absorbent middle layer stores water for evaporation, and the comfortable inner layer transfers cooling effect to the dog. Fashioned in a light color to reflect heat from the sun. All of these technologies combine in the Swamp Cooler Vest to keep dogs comfortable when temperatures rise. Ideal for staying cool while hiking, biking, running, playing, and more. Active fit for full range of motion. Auto-lock buckles on each side of the jacket provide easy on/off. Reflective trim for low-light visibility.

Just an update:
As it stands right now (23 participants), there would be
1 Alpha Slug
3 sycophant lil' sloogers
+1 recruit
To get to 5 (seminal) slugs, 6 more folks would have to play. To get to an additional recruit, there would have to be at least 6 slugs. That would require at least 36 participants, so 13 more folks would have to play.
I doubt either of these things will happen, but we'll see.
Of course, on the good-guy side, there will be the normal
1 Gardener (Seer)
1 Manduca Sexta (Angel)
1 Bird (Vigilante)

No way Moore is that slow and Montgomery is that fast.
You just copied and pasted Charlie Campbell's rankings on Walter Football without giving them credit or providing a link.
Order is different, but the commentary is exactly the same.
Jarvis Jones is the best OLB in the country. To not even have him anywhere on this list is laughable.
From my perspective these are my top 3 based on each categorical skill-set from the 6 prospects discussed:
Body control(lean), balance, ankle flexion
1. Werner
2. Mingo
3a. Jarvis
3b. Moore
Pass rush repertoire, hand strike, pocket push
1. Mingo
2. Werner
3. Moore
Awareness, play recognition(screens & options)
1. Werner
2. Mingo
3. Jarvis
Destructiveness(TFL), quickness off LOS, closing speed
1. Werner
2. Mingo
3. Jarvis
Shed blocks, POA strength, in-position for tackle
1a. Mingo
1b. Werner
3. Moore
Sam Montgomery would have ranked last in each category based on my assessment.

Every day I'm reminded (and humbled by) just how much people can watch the same video tape and see completely different things. Earlier today was a great example when someone (who is, believe it or not, a pretty intelligent football fan) questioned whether Manti Te'o has the physical skills to be good at the next level. I thought I (or he) was taking crazy pills. Manti Te'o has the wheels and cutback agility of an elite tailback (especially when you take size into account)...he just hasn't always been a guy that stays zeroed in on what the offense is doing from snap to whistle, until this year.
Now I see someone compare Bjoern Werner to Jared Odrick and I'm just thinking to myself...well anyway, I don't need to describe it because it's not my intention to come off sounding mean or critical of anyone's opinion. Jared Odrick was a lengthy-bodied defensive tackle in in Penn State's gap shooting penetration scheme, had some good get-off and pad level for the position (emphasis on the position, defensive tackle), played square and behind his shoulder pads, and fell down too much. Bjoern Werner just doesn't resemble him in any way that I can think of, physically, in style, in scheme or role. That's just a tough one, for me.
It's just weird to me when people don't see a guy that gets off the snap in Bjoern Werner because it's probably the greatest asset in his game. He's very aware and that's a huge asset for him, but let's face it you can draft guys with awareness in any round. You can't necessarily draft a guy who consistently gets off the ball faster than anyone else and that's what Werner does. He'll blow by an offensive tackle like he's standing still. There's a ton of quick twitch in Bjoern Werner's game. Florida State has been experimenting more lately with standing Werner up and moving him a little bit pre-snap, letting him some slack in his rush. Scary results.
My biggest gripes with him are thus:
1. He doesn't always bend and come back to the quarterback. Which by the way is the same criticism you can say about pretty much every pass rusher, ever. It's like criticizing a basketball player because he misses some shots. But nonetheless, there it is.
2. There's this really annoying habit of giving up on the pursuit. I've never seen him take a play off, ever. But I sure as hell have seen him quite a few times go into energy conservation mode during a play when he probably could've pursued more.

Anyone questioning Manti Te'o and his athleticism needs to watch him against Michigan where he spied Denard Robinson all game. That entire defense is built around him and what he can do.... and it's the only reason Notre Dame is undefeated and playing for the national title.
He's playing faster than any linebacker I've seen in college since Patrick Willis. He's reading his keys better as a Senior and it's really allowed him to look like there's 3 of him on the field.
yeah but teo hadn't created a turnover in college til his senior season if i recall that correctly...just seems odd to me that this year all the sudden he's become this turnover machine...anyways that kids the heart and soul of that notre dame team...although they got some really good college football players on that squad now...
One of the questions I had about Te'o was pass coverage, which he's improved by leaps and bounds as a Senior. The results of it are the 7 interceptions.

New Forums, new Thread!
Well, I may be slow, but I found the Ketwol wave (Ketwol, Sabe, Duros, Bespin Guard) at the TRU in Pontiac, and also at the Meijer by Great Lakes Crossing. I found these last night, and both stores had a bunch of all 4 of the figures, so hurry if you still need them! I suggest Meijer's, since they were 5.99 and TRU was 6.99 each.
Has anybody seen the B-wing at any Targets in the Metro Detroit Area?
And I never found Aurra Sing anywhere, are they still shipping her?

In high school, during repeated watchings of Alex Cox's Sid and Nancy, my friend Jesse and I always stopped the movie at the song "My Way." We felt this was the scene that marked Sid Vicious' point of no return, and we didn't want to him spiral down any farther than he already had.
In Benjamin Britten's opera Albert Herring, which was first staged in 1947, a vicious joke by a different Sid and Nancy adds a little anarchy to the world. It also allows the title character to transform from mama's boy to independent man. For Albert and his audience, his out-of-control actions make him a hero.
At the outset of the story, the aristocrat Lady Billows and a team of local leaders search for a May Day queen. Finding none of the young women of the town virtuous enough—a joke in and of itself for anyone who knows the fertility origins of the holiday—they settle on the only virtuous soul in town and are forced to turn the role of queen into king. Albert Herring, though thought to be a little slow, fits the bill; his reputation is clean as a whistle. The son of a widowed grocer, Albert doesn't want the role of May Day king but takes it for the cash prize and to please his overbearing mum. On the big day of his coronation, Sid, a local bad boy, with the reluctant help of his flame Nancy, sneaks rum into Albert's lemonade in an attempt at harmless fun and to loosen Albert up.
The moral here is: Drink a little rum and you, too, can have a threesome.
And loosen up he does. After the party, Albert returns home drunk as a skunk and decides to lose his virtuous reputation once and for all. Albert leaves his mother's shop, and the next thing the audience knows, he's found not one but two women, presumably prostitutes, for a little hanky-panky. That's right, kids. The moral here is: Drink a little rum and you, too, can have a threesome. OK, that's probably not really the moral, but it's pretty shocking to watch this kind of naughtiness in an opera house, even if it's mostly implied.
Alek Shrader, who plays Albert in this Santa Fe Opera production, does a fantastic job, mixing physically awkward traits with a strong voice that projects the subtleties in Albert's growing self-confidence. As is common at the Santa Fe Opera, situated in a covered but outdoor theater, thunder and a heavy rainstorm fought with the actors for attention. Shrader, Joshua Hopkins and Kate Lindsey (who played the mischievous Sid and Nancy) had the most competition with Mother Nature, delivering their songs without strain over a rain so torrential it misted the audience on several occasions.
A three-hour performance might seem daunting to non-opera aficionados, but because Albert Herring is both modern and in English, it's a good choice for both the novice operagoer or the musical theater lover. The Santa Fe Opera has brought in a fantastic cast, and it's a crowd-pleaser all around. Unlike another Britten opera, Billy Budd, which was staged in Santa Fe a few years ago, Albert Herring is lighter in story and music. Budd's dissonant themes alienated a notable chunk of its audience, whereas Herring's catchy songs were sung post-performance in the parking lot by delighted audience members. Albert Herring doesn't fall victim to the clichés of opera—it's not overly dramatic and most of the lyrics are understandable—and that's exactly what makes it so much fun. It has the modern story of the outsider we can all relate to.
It's a commitment, no doubt about it, to head all the way to Santa Fe for a night at the opera. The great thing, though, is that it only has to cost a fortune if you want it to. The nosebleed seats start at $29, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Of course, you'll want dinner—eating licorice on the road is fine, but the evening is more fun and you'll get a chance to check out some of the best people-watching in Santa Fe if you pack a picnic. Yeah, tailgating at the opera probably sounds weird to Met-goers, but this is New Mexico, and we do things different. Bring chairs and a table if you've got 'em or just hop on the hood of your car. My date and I grabbed a snack of hummus, pita, smoked Gruyère, strawberries and a raspberry jam jar filled with the absinthe I smuggled into the country awhile back. The folks next to us were a little more meal-oriented with what looked like pasta salad, chicken and bottles of beer. The Santa Fe Opera's website (santafeopera.org) has a whole list of rules about tailgating as well as tips for getting picnic tables and good parking. Booze is fine—granted you don't get thrashed and wreck the performance for others—but barbecues aren't, so bring grub that's good cold or lukewarm. Heck, swing by a restaurant and get to-go food on your way up the hill. Watching the sun set over the Sangre de Cristos is amazing.
Oh, and don't fret about dress, either. There are plenty of pearls and evening gowns but even more jeans and rain gear. Heck, there was even a lady all decked out in a designer dress, a fur coat and ear muffs. Seriously, anything goes!

Does it count as a double post if it's been nearly ten months? AND if I'm the guy who resurrected this thread last year too?!?
Anyway, in my quest to be the same thing as absolutely everyone else, I will be the Joker - the bank robber version, so it's slightly more unique, I guess. I originally thought of being the nurse but have decided instead to go the bank robber route, so I will probably get the mask as well as doing the make-up. I might actually reuse the Pee-wee suit for it . . . I will see, though; it wasn't too small and might work unless I find another cheap one. I still need a suitable shirt and gloves (in addition to the aforementioned mask and make-up kit).
I'm still disappointed in the lack of pictures in this thread.

Just taking one step backward from Bruce's poll.
Just taking one step backward from Bruce's poll.
What we need is not Health Care reform but, Health Insurance and Tort reform.
Last thing we need is government run Health Care!
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
I'll interpret the question not as "health care reform" but as "health insurance" reform and vote "yes."
For the record, if the vast majority of the country is ever on board for single-payer national health insurance, I'm in! I consider that a very different animal than "government-run health care." But obviously now is not the time, and I'm not sure the time will ever come.
I think there are some very limited changes, that could be made while keeping the current system very much in tact, which could make big differences in peoples' lives--and that's where the efforts should be.

Should there be catastrophic insurance available - YES

Should anyone have insurance that covers all the costs - NO

I reached the point that I realized AARP was not representing our interests - have'nt belonged in years. If they support something, it's generally suspect.

Yeah, I found one on clearance at Hot Topic like two weeks after last Halloween. It's the fairly recent red-and-black version, but still easily identifiable. Of course, given how these things go, I've seen a few million of the red-and-yellow since.
One of you with a kid needs to force him (or her) into this scenario.

I like how at the bottom of the main Forums page, it shows today's event as ": 10-31-2009." So, how are all of you celebrating your : October Thirty-First? :p
I went to a Halloween party last night, which was pretty fun. Some people knew who I was supposed to be, but one person thought I was dressed as a Frenchman, partly because of my facial hair. :p A picture may come along later.
Well, I got up, went on the computer for awhile, went back to sleep for an hour or so, got up and washed the dishes, washed the kitchen floor. Then I went to McDonalds for lunch, came back home, showered, went and had an ultrasound done on my remaining kidney, stopped by a bookstore to pick up the "SW Insider", stopped by my work to get my schedule since they couldn't get it posted until YESTERDAY. Then I came here, and checked to see if my Millionaire Raffle ticket was a winner, but they won't have the drawing until later tonight.
We had our Halloween dress up at work on Thursday. Our department was doing a vampire theme, but I figured I would do something else. However, I didn't really come up with anything, so I threw something together at the last moment that sort of looked vampirish, but more like a goth kid with a cape.

- Description
Deering is a small community on the south shore of Kotzebue Sound near the mouth of the Inmachuk River. Before there was a permanent community here, the Inmachukmiut used this area seasonally.
NANA's web site says that people began staying here year round after missionaries built a school on the spit. I am told that the school came in the late 1800's.
Another source says that Deering was placed here 1901 as a supply station for the gold mines that operated further inland on the Seward Peninsula. Certainly mining and missionaries greatly influenced the history of this little hamlet.
Like many other northern Alaska communities, there are no roads to Deering. People can get here by boat during the few months when the sound is navigable. In winter, snowmobiles traverse flagged trails from Buckland, Shishmaref, Nome, and Candle, which are on the Seward Pennsula. There is also a flagged winter trail across the sound to Kotzebue. Air service between Deering, Kotzebue and Buckland is available year round.
The sound is quite deep here, and barges bring cargo in the summer. Air freight service is available year round.
You might wonder, with frozen ground most of the year, how do people get water? Water is pumped from the Inmachuk river and stored in a 400,000 gallon storage tank, which is visible in this panorama. Throughout the year, the water is trucked from the large tank to the houses which use a vacuum flush system to conserve water. There is a washeteria in town with shower and laundry facilities.
The 29 images of this panorama were photographed with a Canon EOS 5 Mark II and stitched with AutopanoGiga.
Oh. It is a long walk back to town. Has anyone seen my Honda?

By Jeff Amy/The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The state House could be roiled by multiple debates in coming days over spending public money to send Mississippi students to private schools.
But prospects for such legislation remain murky in the Senate, where leaders have made no clear show of support for the concept.
The House Education Committee has passed two bills that could pay to send students to private schools. The first, House Bill 906, is a measure called Opportunity Scholarships, proposed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. The second, House Bill 1004, would provide vouchers using public money for the state's 60,000-plus special education students in public schools to attend private schools.
House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, R-Brandon, predicted that some black Democrats would support Bryant's plan. The GOP leadership has tried to court the group on these issues.
The scholarship bill passed Moore's committee without audible dissent, although some lawmakers seemed unclear about what it would do.
"I think it's going to be a strong coalition of votes when it comes through," he said.
He signaled that the special education measure could be in trouble, though, saying it's "something we need to look at a little harder before we call it up on the floor."
The Senate Education Committee didn't pass any of the private tuition proposals. That could indicate Senate leaders don't support the plans.
"We'll just have to wait and see if it passes the House," said Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford.
What Bryant calls opportunity scholarships would be funded through $10 million in dollar-for-dollar tax credits that people or companies would donate to a scholarship fund run by a group chosen by the state Board of Education. The money could be used to pay private tuition for students whose families have incomes below 250 percent of the federal poverty level and are zoned for D-rated or F-rated schools.
Those students could use the money to attend any private school in Mississippi that meets certain standards.
Administration officials estimate that $10 million would create close to 2,200 scholarships and say more than 100,000 of Mississippi's 490,000 public school students would qualify to apply.
Bryant supports the measure as part of what he calls a "choice agenda" that includes calls for charter schools and statewide open enrollment in public schools.
"Let us give parents a choice so children can have a chance," he said in his State of the State speech.
The House and Senate have passed separate charter school bills that have yet to be reconciled; open enrollment proposals didn't make it out of committees.
Opponents, though, say that instead of the state forgoing $10 million in tax revenue so it could be passed to private schools, the money should be used to improve public schools. They also say 250 percent of poverty is too high a threshold — $57,625 for a family of four. They warn that the state could end up paying for children whose families would send them to private schools anyway.
"This is the wrong approach for Mississippi's children and the wrong approach for strengthening public education for all students," the Mississippi Economic Policy Center said in a Jan. 31 statement.
The special education bill was pushed by Rep. Carolyn Crawford, R-Pass Christian. It would allow any student with an individualized education program to apply for state money to attend a private school or transfer to another school district.
The Parents' Campaign, which lobbies for public school funding, says the bill would be a drain on funding. It also questions whether students would get a better education in private schools.
"The private schools receiving vouchers are not required to provide any special needs services," the organization wrote, urging members to oppose the measure.
Both measures could face legal challenges if passed. When Mississippi's constitution was rewritten in 1890, it banned state aid to religious schools.
Such provisions have been a legal obstacle to vouchers, but proponents of public money for private schools have skirted them elsewhere by offering tax credits, as in Bryant's bill. Lawmakers passed a bill last year that allows dyslexic students to attend special private schools, but it was more narrowly tailored.
Administration officials have said they expect a legal challenge, but they believe a previous court case allows Mississippi to aid students who attend private schools.

Kickboxing's Role in a Time of Turmoil
- Written by Dave Walsh
I try to follow the elite fighters of the world on social media, Facebook, twitter, and on Instagram. Despite the language barrier, the fighters usually post things in English, or post a picture with a smily face or something, allowing me to keep up. So as I go down my Instagram wall, I notice that Russian based(Dagestani by birth) fighter Dhabar Askerov had been posting pictures of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Now again, I don't understand the words that accompany the picture, but I will say that Putin looks pretty damn cool in the pictures. Often wearing shades and seems to cool to be bothered by the events of the world. Adding to this, Artem Levin is another Russian fighter who has several pictures of himself and the National Muay Thai team with President Putin. In fact, international Russian fighter Artem Vahkitov is in one of the pictures with Putin, all of the men proud to be in the presence of one another. I also follow Ukrainian kickboxing star Artur Kyshenko. As I watched his recent post on Instagram I noticed that he has crossed himself out of the Legend poster, the Russian promotion that used him on their card last year. Adding to this, Kyshenko recently posted a pick of him in his Ukrainian youth, wearing his national colors at the podium of an amateur Muay Thai event. It most be noted that there is a chance this is complete coincidence, as the youth pick is a comparison pick and Kyshenko was injured after the first fight in the tournament, so he could have crossed himself out because of that. Also, I do not think that the fighters are in anyways enemies, but as one could imagine, there is no way that they couldn't be effected by the events between the Ukraine and Russia.
Whether its Max Schmeling and Joe Louis during WWII, Ali-Frazier during the Vietnam, or even the many kickboxing cards that were cancelled during the Thailand and Japanese Tsunami's, the events of the world shape combat sports just as much as any other sport. Adding to it, they usually heighten the spectacle. Schmeling was given a heroes welcome after he beat Louis. James Braddock was talked into defending his title against Louis instead of Smelling, as people feared a lose to Smelling would keep the heavyweight title locked up in Natzi Germany throughout Smelling's career. Louis beat Braddock, then beat Smelling with the entire country behind him. In that example, the events of the world mastered who fought for the title and the type of support for each combatant. Louis was a national hero afterwards and Schmeling returned to Germany to the loudest silence of his life.
Now kickboxing isn't boxing, so I am not saying that the events of the world heighten the events in our sport to that degree. Also, as of right now, Kyshenko is scheduled to face Askerov in Milan for the Russian based Legend Promotion, so I am not suggesting that there is animosity there. I am however saying that with the amount of elite fighters that come from both countries, whether one wants to be political or not, the events in Ukraine will directly or indirectly effect the athletes in those countries.
For those who follow my kickboxing podcast show (Warman Kickfighting Show) I often talk about Alim Nabiev, a Ukrainian fighter who I have been following since his mid teens. Coming off a big win over Armen Petrosyan (who I believe he is rematching on the Legend Milan card) Alim has regularly fought for Legend and has also fought for Tatneft, another Russian based promotion. Sure he is a prize fighter, but if something happens to a loved one, would it be out of the question for him to seek to fight for K-1 or any promotion other than the Russian based ones, culturally seeing Russia as a whole the enemy, rather than the individuals involved. Enriko Gogokhia is another high level Ukrainian fighter, he too has fought for the Legend promotion and has fought for Tatneft several times. He is a phone call away from tragedy, not to mention, all of these men could be called to military service for their country.
Now I hope I am not sending warning with this, nor am I confirming that this is indeed going to happen. Yet as a history major, I have witnessed these very events happen to professional athletes throughout the decades. American football player Roger Staubach won the Heisman, the most prestigious award in college football, but then went to serve in Vietnam before he was able to pursue an professional career. It was big kickboxing news when Hong Man Choi announced that he would have to leave the kickboxing circuit to fulfill his countries military obligation at the height of his popularity(though granted, I was not a Choi fan.) This very call could come quickly for the above mentioned athletes, as a sporting career is considered a luxury in a time of war. A luxury, or a symbol, either way, the athlete is no longer the same.
Yet as usual, I am hoping the sporting world can rise above it. In the example I used with Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, it must be noted that Max didn't agree with Hitler's Germany even a little bit, and was good friends with Joe, who he was grateful to for giving him his shot at the title. In fact, in a crazy twist of fate, as Joe went into tax troubles at the hands of those who once supported him, Max found financial gain at the hands of those who once abandoned him, and was able to send Joe some financial aid. These two men rose above the conflicts of their countries. If there is one thing I love about combat sports, you will see two people who were aiming to hurt one another sportingly, but at the last bell, embrace one another, united by the bond of delivering and receiving hurt for pay. My hope is that despite these conflicts, the above fighters will continue to do what they always do. Remain respectful and honorable towards those of different races, faiths, nationalities, and political views. Never in your life have you come across someone who wanted to get to K-1 or Glory so that they could spread their views over another. No, they wanted to get there so that they could compete on the highest stage. I am hoping that no matter what happens between these two countries, these fighters are part of and the symbol for a peaceful solution.
PS, thanks to all those who gave me congratulations on my fighter Johny Hendricks winning the UFC title. Means a lot kickboxing world.

Again, which of the groups that I identified don't vote for YOUR party?Again, Stan, your remarks are off base.
I associate with many Republicans. They are becoming quite concerned about the future of the party. The moderates are feeling like they are being cast adrift by the extreme left.
Young girls can't vote, but women can and they are finding less and less from the Republican Party to support.
Anyone under 40 is a youngster to me now!
I did not call into question your Americanism nor did I indicate that you were godless. However, you clearly implied that Democrats were. Good for you if you attend Sunday church and coach Little League. But, if you are honest, you owe a recantation.
You brought those issues up, not me!
I resent your implication that I don't pay my own freight. My family was dirt poor after my father died when I was thirteen. My family never went on the dole but we did manage to do without. I paid my for my own education. My wife and I both worked and we are damn proud of what we have achieved.
People on career welfare do not pay the freight!
I in no way made comment on our relative intelligence. Intelligence is not something to hold over another. It is the American creed that all men are created equal by their Creator. The Divine does not hold intelligence as a factor in His regard. A value held by the Creator is good enough for me.
I have seen on these threads similar "chuckle list" published by the right attempting to discredit the opposition. I have no chuckle list, nothing funny about what's happening! They are nothing but thinly disguised hatred and they are born out of ignorance and bitterness. They serve nothing to develop understanding and are disruptive to the function of the body politic. They ain't cute.

What's meant by each choice is now better clarified for you below:
To what extent do you want to see all the Vintage Figures redone?
Remake every single version -- Completely finish them all with everything ever made for vintage, exactly as it appears: silver Death Star Droid, black Bespin Guard, Hoth Rebel Soldier that matches the first vintage one, and all the rest!
Remake most of them -- Generally finish redoing the line, covering all the basics like the Ewoks, Imperial Dignitary, Cloud Car Pilot, and even Blue Snaggletoothe (done correctly, from Cloud City, as the image for it originated)
No remakes, only new Classic Trilogy figures -- Generally ignore the rest of the possible re-dos for they are uninspiring, and there are better figures from Classic Star Wars they could do, that were never made before.
No Classic Trilogy figures, only prequel figures -- Completely forget doing any more at all, and concentrate on characters from the The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones movies only now.
Let's discuss your choice here!

I've been after this bird for 2 years and I have only 2 photos to show for my hard work. I don't work him every weekend but I can't keep myself from going back. He is in the same field every morning struttin his stuff (no matter what season). I have tried every call i have, borrowed calls, set up decoys, no calling, & a blind. I can get him as close as about 70 yards but he wont come any closer.
When I leave him alone and just watch the field, he is in the same exact spot everytime. Just not when I'm in the field too.....
Here are my 2 keeper pics. Keep in mind that I prefer to take my "shots" in lethal range too [;)]

Business Building, UTSA 1604 Campus
UTSA College of Business MBA ranks in top 10
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, College of Business
(Feb. 23, 2006)--The UTSA College of Business recently was ranked as one of the top 10 business schools nationally for minority MBA students.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The ranking was compiled by the Princeton Review, which annually conducts surveys with university students and receives institutional data from universities to round out its rankings.
Business schools were judged by those offering the greatest opportunity for minority students based on the percentage of minority students, percentage of minority faculty and resources for minority students.
As the only UT System school ranked, the UTSA College of Business shared the spotlight with Howard University, American University, Thunderbird University and the University of San Francisco.
"With the average MBA program averaging 4.5 percent Hispanic students, UTSA is leading the nation with more than 31 percent of our graduate body being Hispanic," said Lynda de la Viña, College of Business dean. "This is crucial as the demographic shift in the United States will soon reflect a larger Hispanic population."

Alternate name: Plain Titmouse
Family: Paridae, Chickadees and Titmice view all from this family
Description ADULT Has plain and unmarked warm gray-brown upperparts including tail; note the short but distinct crest. Underparts are pale gray, with a subtle or barely visible pinkish or warm buffy wash on flanks. Bill is pointed and gray, and legs are dark gray. Subtle plumage variation exists within the species' range and several subspecies are recognized. JUVENILE Similar to adult.
Dimensions Length: 5-5 1/2" (13-14 cm)
Habitat Fairly common resident within its rather limited range on the Pacific slopes of California and Oregon; although by no means restricted to oak woodland, this is its favored habitat.
Observation Tips For beginners, geographical range is the best initial clue to separation from Juniper Titmouse, especially since both species are rather sedentary in their habits. Get to know this species first in areas where it does not overlap with Juniper.
Range Northwest, California
Voice Song comprises a varied range of whistling notes including peechew; calls include a sharp tsi-chrr.
Discussion Charming little titmouse with rather nondescript plumage. Obvious titmouselike structure and absence of any striking plumage features are good clues to separate it from most other species, except Juniper Titmouse, with which it was formerly considered conspecific. For separation from that species, note subtle differences in plumage and more distinct differences in habitat preference and geographical range. Sometimes seen in small parties outside the breeding season and occasionally joins roving mixed-species flocks. Sexes are similar.

I stand corrected. It's been a while since I read those (not my favorite EU stories as it's obvious why).
Thank you for the excerpts.
Meanwhile, that disturbing enough for you Chux?
I don't like that happening to Leia.
Maybe Shannon Dougherty would deserve it and Avril Lavigne could handle it. But not my childhood Princess.
That being said, I just need to grow up and handle it. That's how the world works.
But if that's the case, why didn't Jabba have her dance completely naked?
I guess it was a cabaret show.
But I do like the angle of Leia being "given" to Boba Fett for 2 reasons:
1) it's safe since Fett behaves honorably and kind to her, even though that wasn't Jabba's intention at all of course
2) it shows that Jabba was a base as he was supposed to be, and forced the rape of his female slaves like Oola
That latter point is just added "adult" realism so that Star Wars goes beyond what we as kids could understand (but denied to ourselves if we ever did suspect it).
Interesting discussion.

Family: Asclepiadaceae, Milkweed view all from this family
Description Native herbaceous perennial. Hairy, erect perennial. The large, pointed, bananalike leaves are arranged opposite on the stalklike stem. The eye-catching furry pale pink to pinkish-purple flowers are arranged in thick umbels. Their corollas are reflexed and the central flower parts, five hoods with prominent hooks, are star-shaped. The fruit is a large, rough follicle filled with many flat oval seeds with luxuriant silky plumes.
Warning All plants in the genus Asclepias are probably somewhat toxic, some fatally so, to both humans and animals. The sap of some causes skin irritation in humans. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Flower Summer, May to September.
Flower May - September (in south); June - July (in north)
Habitat Moist areas, meadows, and prairies.
Range Western half of North America, east to Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan.
Discussion Many Native American peoples use all parts of this plant for a great number of medicinal uses and ate some parts as a food.
Asclepias speciosa is a specific Monarch butterfly food and habitat plant.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution S. Manitoba & w. Minnesota to British Columbia, s. to Texas & California
Site Preference Moist prairies; flood plains
Soil Preference Various soils.

Nigeria police arrest six journalists
New York, October 12, 2011--Police in Nigeria arrested six journalists and one staff member from independent daily The Nation on Tuesday concerning the publication of a purported private letter from former head of state Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan about administrators of government agencies, local journalists reported.
On the front page of its October 4 edition, The Nation published a letter, allegedly written by Obasanjo, that recommended Jonathan replace five CEOs of several government agencies, news reports said. Obasanjo filed a complaint last week, accusing the newspaper of publishing the letter with a forgery of his signature, Olusola Amore, the national police spokesman, told CPJ. The Nation, widely perceived as an opposition paper, said in a statement that they stand by their story and the letter's authenticity.

New research out of the Museum today is the first to provide definitive proof that green algae eat bacteria. The finding, captured with electron microscope images, offers a glimpse at how scientists think early organisms acquired free-living chloroplasts, the structures responsible for converting light into food. This event is thought to be a critical first step in the evolution of photosynthetic algae and land plants, which helped raise oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere and paved the way for the rise of animals.

First-Year Tips
- Ask questions and ask for help whenever you need it
- Check and read your RIC email regularly
- Go to class and be an active participant (sounds like a no-brainer, and it does contribute to better grades)
- Join at least one club or organization your freshman year – you never know where it might lead
- Positively promote Rhode Island College – this is your college!
- Remember these words and a number: General Education, Major, 120 Completing each of these requirements will keep you on track to graduate – and the easiest way to reach 120 credits in four years without summer classes is to take 15 credits each semester
- Remember your peer counselor – he or she will be a great resource for you
- Make a habit of attending events on campus
- At least occasionally, call or talk to your parents – they do want to hear how things are going
- Maybe… just maybe, consider walking the quad once in a while, look up from texting, and make eye contact with someone, smile or say hello.
- (Don't) Doubt for a minute the quality of the education you will receive at RIC – our graduates go on to the finest grad schools in the country and are found throughout the U.S. and abroad in corporations, boardrooms, hospitals, schools, non-profits, agencies, and even on Broadway.
- (Don't) Forget that our RIC grads have helped pave the way for you. The first black woman to earn a doctorate from Harvard graduated from RIC in 1919. She's Rose Butler Browne, and one of our residence halls is named for her. The father of modern trademark law is a RIC grad from the 40's named Frank Campbell. A retired Navy Rear Admiral – who happens to be a woman, is RIC grad Pauline Hartington '53. And President Obama appointed Brenda Dann Messier '73, as assistant secretary for vocational and adult education.
- Then there's the 2012 Commencement speaker, a Class of '81 art major with minors in English and theatre. He's 6-time Emmy nominee, Danny Smith, who just happens to be the producer and head writer for "The Family Guy." He told the graduates that the skills he learned as a RIC undergrad earned him numerous awards and success as a television writer. And I'm sure you've heard of Oscar-nominated Viola Davis, also a RIC alum and a Central Falls native who makes a point of visiting the college and meeting with RIC students when she's in town.
- Alumni success will constantly increase the value of your RIC degree and 10 years from now, when you are established in your chosen career, your success will benefit the next new group of freshmen.
- Don't pass up any of the educational and social opportunities available to you as a college student.
- Don't stay in your room or car between classes – there are lots of great places to hang out (just ask your peer counselor)
- Don't forget you can always go to OASIS with questions

Lovers of dark chicken meat will love this zesty chili that features hominy rather than beans!
For extra spice, use hot chili seasoning instead of the mild and add a small can of Old El Paso® chopped green chiles with the tomatoes.
Vary the taste by using black beans or chili beans instead of the hominy.
Go ahead and make the chili ahead of time, and refrigerate or freeze. Chili is often better the next day because the flavors have a chance to blend.
Hominy is also called posole and is dried white or yellow corn kernels that have had the hulls removed by soaking. You can find hominy in the canned vegetable section of the grocery store.

Looking for a dessert with a tropical twist? Then check out these delicious cupcakes made with Original Bisquick® mix and frosted with Betty Crocker® whipped fluffy white frosting.
Fresh mango (peeled and chopped) can be used instead of jarred, but make sure the mango is ripe for the most flavorful cupcakes. If it doesn't yield to pressure when pressed, let it ripen at room temperature.
To toast coconut, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
Crystallized ginger is candied, sugared ginger and available in the spice section.

Back on topic:
I noticed that my stashes had been returned to the pegs/shelves this morning at Burbank Target. Looks like they didn't stock anything new, and it's getting harder to figure out if the FU figs are new or returns. No new Indy or Cars. With this drought, I'm actually looking forward to Comicon. The only problem with that is that I recently hurt my back and now have sciatica, so standing and walking hurt like hell. Hopefully I'll feel somewhat better in time for the con. I hate getting old!

A little advice Roger, you're getting up there in years & you've just got another hash mark. You need to walk more as you are apparently losing the limited mental functions you started with, & walking has proven to slow that process. My wife's late uncle by marriage got all worked up in this process the last election, he's no longer with us. His rantings were strikingly similar to much of what you post, that may not be good for your health. There are probably people who depend on you for some sort of support, you need to be here for that!!!!!!!!!! I know we depend on you for your bottom of the barrel postings gleaned from other sources .

Rebooting Rwanda
On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana was shot down by unidentified assailants. The next day, the killings began. Over the next three months, as the international community stood by, an estimated one million Rwandans—Tutsis and moderate Hutus—were systematically slaughtered by Hutu extremists, mostly using clubs and machetes.

Hello, i'm new in the community, i search information about creating a kind of network with more arduino. I use "arduino Mega2560" for the master (or the server?) and arduino uno for the slaves.I think about ethernet, with ethernet shield, but it's expensive because i have to use one shield for each arduino and a ethernet switchI need a full duplex connection, for send information from the master to the slaves and receive status and other information.The rs495 is good, but isn't full duplex.Excuse for my english if there are some errors, but i'm italian.Bye, Marco
Excuse for my english if there are some errors, but i'm italian.
The rs495 is good, but isn't full duplex.
Can i use ethernet connection for more arduino, without any PC?
maybe i use rs485... connecting the control pin of the MAX485 to an output of arduino, i can control the direction of messages (TX or RX).. Is it right?Maybe is the better choice...Thanks, MarcoPs: now i do some experiments...

Polish journalist to discuss 'Dictatorship's Past,' March 14
Posted March 9, 2006; 08:46 p.m.
Polish journalist and activist Adam Michnik will deliver a lecture
titled "A Dictatorship's Past: The Cleansing of Collective Memory" at
4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, in 219 Burr Hall.
The lecture will focus on the difficulties of dealing with the past in societies with newly established democratic regimes. Michnik will examine transitions to pluralism and democracy in Germany after World War II, in various Latin American countries in the 1980s and 1990s, in post-apartheid South Africa and in post-communist East-Central Europe.
Michnik was a leading figure in the struggle for freedom of speech and democratization in Eastern Europe in the 1960s and was imprisoned for six years in communist Poland. Since 1989, he has been editor-in-chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, which was the first free daily newspaper in post-communist East-Central Europe. Michnik was one of the founders of the Workers' Defense Committee in Poland and a leading member of the Solidarity trade union movement.
The lecture is sponsored by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. It is designated as the 2005-06 Cyril Black Memorial Lecture and the annual PIIRS Distinguished Lecture.

Western Caribbean itineraries combine the fun-in-the-sun beach experience with the opportunity to swim with large stingrays (in Grand Cayman), climb a waterfall (in Jamaica) and learn about the mysterious Mayan culture at ruins in Mexico. On these itineraries there's more opportunity to experience different cultures than on Eastern Caribbean sailings, including doing things as tequila tastings and negotiating for Mexican handicrafts. Some passengers focus on getting time on the beach or in the water (including snorkeling or diving to see colorful marine life) while others find the cultural activities more alluring.
Western Caribbean cruises are typically for a week and depart from ports in Florida, as well as from New Orleans, Houston and Galveston. The itineraries typically include Grand Cayman; Ocho Rios or Falmouth, Jamaica; and Cozumel, or other ports in Mexico. Some itineraries add Key West, Honduras or Belize. In some ports, including Falmouth and Roatan, Honduras, cruise lines have built tourist facilities specifically for cruise passengers. The cruises are year-round.
Cruise to the Western Caribbean if you…
Are seeking a little culture in addition to beach and watersports activities.
Don't go if you…
Hate crowds. Like everything to be exactly like it is at home.
