---- — Balanced
TO THE EDITOR: I agree with Gov. Cuomo that the epidemic in the use of guns in murders throughout our country has warranted immediate action to protect citizens of our state.
I was disheartened in listening to the debate in the State Assembly. The bill's critics, who argued against this legislation, spoke about the danger the legislation posed to people who live in rural areas like the Adirondacks. They said these citizens will not be able to defend themselves from violent criminals who may want to harm them.
One would think that residents of the North Country live behind barricades with arsenals. Most people depend upon and are well served by the wonderful services of law enforcement like the Plattsburgh City Police and State Police.
In fact, I can only remember one incident in recent times when a citizen used a gun to "defend" his household from "invasion." In this case, the invader was a drunk, unarmed, student who was killed in circumstances that most people viewed as tragic.
I don't understand why home defense is being used as an excuse for the indiscriminate ownership of assault weapons and large magazine clips, which are clearly appropriate only in the hands of police and soldiers in war-like circumstances.
The New York Safe Act, although not perfect, addresses most of the issues that have been raised as a result of recent tragedies. These include banning the purchase of assault weapons, requiring more stringent gun registration, increasing the penalties for crimes committed with guns and gun-ownership bans for the dangerously mentally ill and those who pose threats in domestic settings.
I believe that this legislation represents a balanced way to address this threat to the health and safety of all citizens.
IDA wasn't
TO THE EDITOR: As chairman of the Franklin County Industrial Development Agency, I would like to clarify that recent comments and questions made by IDA Director Paul Hogan at the bed-tax public hearing on Jan. 17 were not made on behalf of the Franklin County IDA.
The Franklin County IDA Board has been cooperating with the county in implementing a new structure for tourism, and County Manager Tom Leitz and the legislators have been sensitive to the IDA during this process.
Recognizing that tourism is such an economic driver in our area, we all have an interest in a smooth transition.

Monday, 02/10/14:The UCM Department of Public Safety and the City of Warrensburg have received a number of recent reports concerning the theft of catalytic converters from vehicles. The catalytic converter is an emissions control device that is part of your vehicle's exhaust system.
What if your catalytic converter is stolen?
· If your catalytic converter is stolen you will know immediately after starting your vehicle. When the engine is running, it will sound like there is no muffler, much louder than normal.
· Contact the police to file a report. If the vehicle is parked on campus, Public Safety should be called at 660-543-4123. If it is off-campus, please call Warrensburg Police at 660-747-2265.
· To avoid possible damage to your vehicle, your car or truck should not be driven for long distances without a catalytic converter. Therefore, the vehicle may need to be towed to a repair shop. If a repair shop is close by, some pieces of the exhaust may need to be secured to prevent further damage, if the vehicle is driven to the shop for repairs.
To help deter catalytic converter theft, follow these tips:
· Watch for suspicious people or vehicles in parking lots. If you see a suspicious person under a vehicle, they may be trying to steal a catalytic converter. They may be using a hydraulic jack and a battery-powered saw. If you can do so safely, document the license plate of a vehicle the person is driving and a description of the person. If you can do so safely, consider taking a photo of the suspect's vehicle with your phone and sending it to Public Safety using the Campus Eye app, or text line at 660-422-2632. (Learn more about Campus Eye online at ucmo.edu/ps/.)
· If the crime is in progress call 911 or 660-543-4123. If the crime is not in progress call 660-543-4123 to report the information.
· Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable.
· Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle's frame with hardened steel welded to the frame.
· Consider different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at your local auto parts store or online.

Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe in any situation, go with your gut. If you see something suspicious, contact law enforcement immediately (local authorities can be reached by calling 911)
Watch out for your friends, and vice versa. If a friend seems out of it, seems overly intoxicated for the amount of alcohol they've had, or is acting out of character, get him or her to a safe place immediately.
Monday, 09/16/13:Public Safety issued the following advisory to students:
UCM Public Safety Advisory for Students
Although they have now recovered following medical treatment, two UCM students recently experienced a strong negative reaction after using what they believed was marijuana. It is unknown if the marijuana was laced with another drug or synthetic cannabinoid.
Marijuana can be laced with PCP, hash oil, synthetic cannabinoids (Spice, K2, etc.), MDMA (Molly, Ecstasy), and other substances. Incidents across the nation involve extreme symptoms, including cases of death, with use of many of these substances.
Individuals using laced marijuana have reported the following symptoms:
· Feelings of impending doom, fear, foreboding, urge to escape or run from danger
· Choking sensation, difficulty breathing, sweating, confusion, emotional distress
· Looking pale, turning red, burning skin, hot or cold chills, tightness in stomach, nausea
· Numbness or tingling, panic, hearing loss, heart racing or pounding, shooting pain
· Urgent desire to urinate or defecate, drinking excessive amounts of water
· Fear of going crazy, freaking out, uncontrollable chains of thought.
Students are urged to avoid the use of any illegal substance. Any substances labeled "not for human consumption" are particularly concerning. Please pay attention to symptoms and notify emergency medical services immediately by calling 911 or 660-543-4123.
Health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol include, but are not limited to, addiction, accidents as a result of impaired judgment and ability, overdose, damage to internal organs or a developing fetus, and unpredictable or violent behavior.
Remember that most UCM students are not using marijuana--72% have not used marijuana at all in the past year. And, of those who have used marijuana, only 4.7% used daily.

The victim, a UCM student, was not injured in the incident. The victim stated he was approached by the suspect in front of Nattinger-Bradshaw, where the suspect asked to use the victim's cell phone. The victim and suspect walked to the south entrance of Houts-Hosey where the suspect returned the phone to the victim. The suspect then pointed a knife at the victim and demanded cash. The victim provided the suspect with cash and the suspect fled through the south entrance to Houts-Hosey. The suspect is described as a light-skinned black male, approximately 25 years old, 6'5", 180 pounds, with a light moustache.

Edmund presents 'their' baby to Cassie. She is overjoyed but unaware the child was actually stolen from Michelle. Edmund covers all his bases and tells Cassie that Dinah, overcome with emotion, took off after giving birth to the child. Cassie is worried about Dinah's health but Edmund is able to ease her concerns. The two share a family moment until Jeffrey arrives, much to Edmund's dismay. Edmund reluctantly leaves Jeffrey to get acquainted with the baby. He leaves to see Dinah, whom he has locked in a replica of the farmhouse he constructed. She is furious with him for setting her up and leaving her alone. He cruelly tells her everything went according to plan: he and Cassie will soon be reunited. He leaves Dinah there, devastated and trapped. Edmund returns home to put his family back in order.
Meanwhile, emergency workers find Michelle near her burning car. They get her to the hospital where Danny and Marina rush in to see her. Michelle asks Danny where their baby is. Rick quickly pulls Danny aside and explains that Michelle was pregnant and the child she was carrying died in the burning car. Realizing the baby could have been his, Danny is devastated but remains stoic for Michelle. Later, Marina watches as Danny promises a sleeping Michelle he'll get her through this.
In an effort to push Josh away, Reva allows him to see her kissing another man. When Josh tries to find out what's going on, Reva tells Josh he's boring and she needs a break. He is hurt and eventually leaves, thinking their marriage is coming to an end. Later, Billy sees Reva miserable. He realizes she's trying to protect Josh from having to care for her while she's ill. Reva admits to Billy she doesn't want to go back to Josh until she can give him everything he deserves.

Danny spends the night by Michelle's bedside and is alone with her when she begins hemorrhaging. Mel and Rick rush in and try their best to stabilize Michelle as a stricken Danny looks on. While unconscious, Michelle has a vision of her deceased mother, Maureen. Michelle confesses her feelings for Danny to her mother and Maureen tells her that she and Danny will always love each other. Later, with the help of a pint of blood donated by Marina, Michelle is eventually stabilized but when she wakes, she is in a panic about seeing her child. Reluctantly, Danny then breaks the news to Michelle that her baby died in the car crash. Beth confronts Coop and Lizzie about their surprise engagement. Buzz is blown away by the revelation, as is Coop, who is in the dark about Lizzie's attempts to get back at her mother and grandfather. Lizzie is stuck for an explanation but when Coop sees that she is on the spot with her mother, he backs her up and states that he and Lizzie are indeed engaged. Later, a shocked Buzz questions why Coop would give up on his future and Lizzie learns about his offer to study at Oxford. She is heartbroken at the prospect of losing him and later, even though he swears he would never make a decision without her, Lizzie makes a secret phone call, fully determined to move ahead with the wedding. However, Beth overhears her plans and calls Alan, desperate to put an end to her daughter's mischief. Ava is surprised when Bill offers her a job as Olivia's new assistant. She is thrilled at the idea but realizes her job at Outskirts and debt to Jonathan might not allow for it. When Olivia arrives, Ava decides to go for it and does her best to impress her. Olivia likes what she sees and offers her a job but Jonathan is quick to remind Ava that she works for him.

As planned by Edmund, they find Dinah's videotaped goodbye to Ross. Edmund sneaks out to visit an angry Dinah. He tells her to get used to her new home. Determined to escape, she steals his cell phone.
Jeffrey cautions Cassie about Edmund's true intentions. They enjoy a little time together until Edmund returns.
Tammy gets a call from Sandy's mysterious contact, Fallon, and plans to meet him at Company. When she sees him at Company, he pretends to know nothing about Sandy. Later, he tells Sandy that he blew off Tammy. Sandy tells him to do the job and leave town. Fallon agrees and says that Sandy is the boss.
Lizzie plans her surprise nuptials to Coop. She lies and tells him that she is being sent to Cancun on an assignment for the station. He agrees.

I am working on my IH 154 carb ( see a previous post from a couple of days ago). In case that doesn't work out I want to have a backup plan. A few years ago I got an NOS IH carb # 364 579 R91 ( which I think will work with my 154) and I have a few qusetions on if I have to use it. It is dusty from all of the years and needs to be cleaned. Should I disasemble it, soak it in a carb cleaner dip like a regular used carb? I really didn't want to scrape the gaskets off which I am sure are stuck on it. It also has a little corrosion near the gasket.
Also, a 154 carb uses a different choke shaft so should I use my good 154 bottom? If I were to use my 154 bottom, what else should I swap to use with my NOS top? I could use the NOS bottom too ( with my 154 choke shaft) but where the choke shaft comes out of the NOS carb ( splined end) there is a plug on a 154 carb instead of the second dust shield. That plug is no longer available, would anyone know where I could get a plug?
Again I would rather use my existing carb but I need a backup plan . Any thoughts, ideas? Thanks!!

3.18/5 rDev -19.9%
On nitro-tap at the brewery in Asheville. Served in a standard pint glass.
Opaque black with a creamy, tan nitro head that has good retention but that eventually reduced to a thin top-coat. The glass was well coated with lacing for over 1 cm above the beer.
Aroma: sweet malt and oats with a bit of an off-note.
T: a rich flavor of oats and roasted malts, but also a bit marred by the off flavor (Brett?). Too sweet, especially upfront.
M: smooth with well-chosen, light nitro carbonation.
O: mixed reaction due to the off-notes ... Disappointing.

On nitro-tap upstairs at Barley's in Asheville served in a standard pint glass a deep opaque black with a typical nitro head that slowly diminished to a ring and left spotty lacing. Aroma was crisp oats and roasted malts. The taste was a nice robust amount of roasted malts with a smooth oat touch to it. The beer was smooth with the usual nitro carbonation. This one was quite enjoyable, even on a warm spring night.

Glad to have a chance to finally try a bunch of new brews from Wedge. Pretty much cleaned the taps out over the last week there.
Pours out nearly completely black with a nice two finger head of tan that caps the top very nicely. Really just a nice looking stout as it settles down it coats the sides of the glass very nicely as well. Aroma is sweet chocolate, light coffee and vanilla notes, a touch of cookie dough, very well rounded I have to admit. Smooth, light feel though, but nicely carbonated and enough of a body to let the flavor sit on the tongue and the sweet, chocolate and lightly bitter coffee settle in nicely. Clean finish with a nice and well rounded vanilla flavor.
Very solid offering that I would not mind trying again at all.

On nitro-tap at Wedge Brewing Company, Asheville, NC
A: The beer is very close to being jet black in color - faint hints of red are visible when the glass is held up to the light. It poured with a quarter finger high creamy, dense tan head that hardly died down and left lots of bubbles coating the edges of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of roasted malts are present in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste has flavors of roasted malts along with notes of coffee beans and a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and the combination of the oats and nitro-tap lend lots of smoothness to the mouthfeel.
O: This stout is very flavorful and easy to drink; the nitro-tap makes it look and feel even better.

This oatmeal stout had incredibly smooth drinkability. The coffee and carmel notes lingered long after I had swallowed and the rich dark malt made me wanting to go back for more. This is the best oatmeal stout I have ever had and is the standard on which I rate all other microbrew stouts. Two thumbs up.

Nice appearing near black, brownish pour. Sizeable cream colored head. Nitro-like head though this was on a traditional tap. Aroma was roasted malt and oatmeal with hints of chocolate. Very creamy medium body. Taste was a great balance of chocolate, roast malt. Slight coffee finish. One of the best oatmeal stouts I've had in a long time, everyone has gone to much more aggressive style stouts. A drinkable, flavorful session stout.
The best beer I had all weekend, better than the Foothills Peoples Porter, which was still pretty good.

Deep and dark, basically black with a creamy tan head and excellent retention. Leaves rings of chunky, thick lacing down the glass. Good smell of chocolate and lightly roasted malt. Taste is excellent with rich chocolate and again, roast malt. Nice oatmeal flavor. Just a touch of an earthy hop bitterness toward the finish. Mouthfeel is decadently creamy and silky smooth with perfect carbonation. Truly a sessionable Oatmeal Stout if there ever was one. I had a few pints after trying it.

Market Preview: Buy in July?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- This week will go a long way toward determining if Buy in July has any legs as a new market mantra.
After the major U.S. equity averages roared back to levels unseen since early May late last week -- rendering toothless the last two-plus months of churn -- Sell in May is looking a lot less prophetic in 2012. But a snap-back could very well be looming if the next round of stimulus the global markets are now counting on either doesn't arrive or is less aggressive than desired.
This week, of course, features the results of the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting on Wednesday, the conclusion of European Central Bank's own confab on Thursday and the July employment report on Friday.
Much has been made of similarities between the market's swoon this summer and the pattern of the past two years. Steven Wieting, an analyst at Citigroup, offered up this commentary on Monday, positing that while stocks may be holding up better this year, the macro situation could turn out worse."[M]arkets seem less worried about the routine mid-year slowing in 2012, perhaps with the insight gained from the policy and market outcomes of the past two years," he wrote. "Even so, 'rally season' might still have room to run before any late year panic over the U.S. fiscal cliff or some other source of risk aversion. Yet despite the more robust market performance thus far in 2012, the underlying pace and durability of the U.S. expansion seems at least slightly more challenged now than in the past two years." Wieting is hopeful the July employment report could be much stronger than the current consensus view for job creation of 100,000, but that's where his optimism ends. "We expect a 140,000 increase in non-farm employment in July, closer to the six-month average than either 1Q or 2Q extremes," he said. "But recent signs of moderating growth in consumer demand, profits and investment should raise concerns about the underlying pace beyond." As befitting a presidential election year, Wieting sees the federal government as being front and center in how the rest of the year plays out.

Miami Dolphins players and personnel are very upset with the team's fans after they booed and shouted insults at quarterback Chad Henne as a result of Miami's 34-27 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. With a 10-point lead in the 4th quarter, Henne threw two interceptions – the first set up a Dave Rayner field goal and the second was returned for the game-winning touchdown. And despite WR Devone Bess taking the blame for falling down on the second pick, Miami fans have focused their blame on Henne and coach Tony Sparano.
A few players felt the sorrow of the fans after the pathetic loss (Yeremiah Bell apologized to the fans for an awful season), but team mouthpiece and perennial underachiever Channing Crowder ain't having none of it. You see, according to Crowder, fans aren't allowed to boo their team. That kind of behavior isn't welcomed in Miami sports…
"It's their decision and it's silly, but that's fair-weather fans," Dolphins inside linebacker Channing Crowder said. "If you cheer when times are going good and boo when times are going bad, then we don't really need you as fans anyway. It is what it is, but booing a player out there trying his best … I try not to cuss but it is what it is." (Via Fanhouse)
Crowder also said that he stands behind his coach, who he once publicly belittled on his radio show for allowing Joey Porter to leave, but it's tough for Sparano to maintain good favor with fans when Bill Cowher is telling people how he'd like to coach in Miami, New York, or Houston. As for Henne, dude threw two picks in five minutes against the Lions. What are fans supposed to do, paint his house and wash his car?
But here's the main point – Dolphins fans are dicks. I'm a Dolphins fan, and I am constantly embarrassed by the people who are associated with my team. I stopped going to games because all these people do is pick fights. Need proof? Let's go to the tape…

Ben Tate is in the heart of Dawg Country to talk to the Browns. Could Cleveland finally be landing a workhorse back to go with Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron?
The hits keep coming for your Houston Texans. With the Denver Broncos coming to town this Sunday, the team will have to make do without Case Keenum and Ben Tate. Oh, how will they manage?!
After having no running backs available for parts of the Chiefs game, it appears that at least one of the Texans' wounded RBs will be available for Sunday night's AFC clash against the Colts.
The Texans' star running back hurt his hamstring in Houston's loss to the Chiefs. There's good news about his potential return for Sunday Night Football against the Colts next week.
The Texans' backup running back informed the Associated Press exactly how badly he was hurt in the loss to the Chiefs yesterday.
Gary Kubiak and Brian Cushing spoke after today's Texans training camp practice. See what they had to say about (and who'll be playing) in Friday night's preseason opener against the Vikings.
See what Gary Kubiak, Brooks Reed, DeAndre Hopkins, Sam Montgomery, and more had to say after today's Houston Texans training camp practice.
Entering a contract year, Ben Tate has to leave practice early this morning due to what's being termed a sore groin. Read on for all the latest from Kubiak and Tate himself.
Gary Kubiak talks Johnathan Joseph, Ben Tate, Shaun Cody, and more.

WARREN -- The jury is about to begin deliberations in the double-homicide case against Louis Mann, accused of murdering his parents two years ago in their home in Warren.
Mann, 33, of Warren, faces the death penalty if convicted.
Mann's defense team has already said their client killed his parents and they are only trying to convince jurors to spare his life. If a jury convicts Mann of the aggravated murder in the death with special aggravated circumstances, the second or penalty phase of the trial, will be held beginning next week.
Defense attorneys said they will present evidence during mitigation that will focus on sexual abuse suffered by Mann.
Testimony in the trial concluded this morning with Trumbull County Coroner Humphrey Germaniuk detailing the injuries to Mann's mother and father. Mann is accused of strangling his mother with a clothesline and shooting his father and beating him to death with a flashlight Sept. 30, 2011.
Philip J. Mann Sr., 59, died from blunt cranial trauma and multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Mann's mother, Frances M. Mann, 53, died of ligature strangulation.

The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) of the National Research Council (NRC) convened a workshop on June 15-16, 2004, to review federal research on alternative methods for measuring poverty. The workshop had been requested by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to evaluate progress in moving toward a new measure of poverty, as recommended by the 1995 report, Measuring Poverty: A New Approach. Experimental Poverty Measures is the summary of that workshop. This report discusses which components of alternative measures are methodologically sound and which might need further refinement,toward the goal of narrowing the number of alternative measures that should be considered.

Super Bowl ticket holders can expect a bag of goodies to help keep them warm in the cold temperatures at the game. Seattle-based Bensussen Deutch and Associates (BDA) created the official seat cushion.
A gift bag will include items to help fans stay warm, including ear warmers (with the Super Bowl logo), a wool cap, lip balm, hand warmers (similar to what players use), an in-game radio and other gifts.
The weather on Super Bowl Day is expected to be cold. The NFL has some contingency plans place just in case the weather takes snowy, blizzard condition turn. That could include rescheduling. That would, of course, be a logistical nightmare for everyone. But fans, the NFL, and everyone else hopes the contingency plan remains a plan - not an action.

"I knew if I continued to work hard and do the right things I could get there. I want to thank my teammates and coaches for helping to push me and encourage me along the way.

Creating and maintaining shareholder wealth is a fundamental consideration in today's complex and fast-paced business climate. In order to produce shareholder value, the contemporary corporation must stress the strategic importance of project selection, financing, and the use of cash and other resources.
The goal of our Finance for Non-Financial Managers program is to provide managers and decision-makers who do not possess a strong grounding in finance an understanding of their firm's financial paradigm. Upon completion of this valuable program, participants will gain a detailed understanding of critical financial fundamentals and will, as a result, be able to communicate with financial practitioners with more confidence.
This program serves as an ideal introduction for those managers and executives who have had little or no education or work experience in the field of finance. It has also been designed for those who need to understand the pivotal role finance plays within their organization.

I am also much better equipped to evaluate financial performance of the business and to make the decisions that drive that performance."
Managing Director
"Finance for Non-Financial Managers was fun, interactive and very informative. Upon leaving the class, I now understand the difference between accounting and finance and everything in between. I better understand various ways to evaluate the strength of a business and why each is just as important as the other, just different. Finance and accounting is just a language to learn."

CATEGORIES Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, CinematicalThe other day, word hit that Winona Ryder had earned the honor of playing Kevin James' wife in the upcoming Ron Howard comedy Cheaters -- yet another case of the attractive woman and the extra-padded comedy man. Nothing new, quickly forgotten.
Then, however, I spotted Movieline's headline, "Uma Thurman's Newest Indignity: Forced to Audition for Role Given to Winona Ryder." The post led me to one of the spins on the Ryder casting news. Entertainment Weekly revealed that while Ryder won the role, she wasn't the only one up for the part: "Ryder beat out a slew of other actresses in her drive to land the part of Geneva, Kevin James' wife. She auditioned twice for the part, outshining the likes of Kate Beckinsale, Carla Gugino and Uma Thurman, who flew herself in for the audition."
You might remember that this news comes on the heels of Thurman's Motherhood making only $131.00 when it opened in the UK last month. First, she suffers one of the most embarrassing openings to plague a famous celebrity, then she loses a part to another struggling actress. To be fair, Ryder is probably a better comedic choice than Thurman, whose funny gigs often leave much to be desired -- such as My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and as much as I like it in a bad movies way, The Truth About Cats & Dogs. Ryder, on the other hand, has a number of successful and notable comedies under her belt.
Nevertheless, Uma is an Oscar-nominated actress who has kicked ass -- literally and figuratively -- in a number of roles. She was irresistible as June Miller; she oozed wonderful, understated charisma as Mrs. Mia Wallace; she navigated the future with ease as Irene; and (again) she kicked a whole lot of ass as The Bride. I'd be remiss not to also mention her notable turn in the one-room-three-star Richard Linklater indie Tape, with her then-husband Ethan Hawke.
So what's Ms. Thurman to do? Obviously Cheaters wasn't the next gig, so what is? It's easy to just throw Quentin Tarantino's name into the ring, and surely, if her career continues to be plagued, he will step in and do what he can. But that just makes her the "it" QT girl, and her talents do extend beyond Tarantino. I can only hope that Bel Ami reminds us of films like Dangerous Liaisons and Henry & June, which helped put her on the map.
But when Motherhood is tarnished with embarrassing box office takes, and Percy Jackson doesn't even make its budget back, Thurman will need a lot more than one good retro piece. What does she need to do to reinvigorate her career? What projects should she stay away from, and which should she fight for? Is Quentin her only hope?

Pillbox (military)
Pillboxes are concrete dug-in guard posts, normally equipped with loopholes through which to fire weapons. The originally jocular name arose from their perceived similarity to the cylindrical and hexagonal boxes in which medical pills were once sold.[1] They are in effect a trench firing step hardened to protect against small-arms fire and grenades and raised to improve the field of fire.
The concrete nature of pillboxes means that they are a feature of prepared positions. They were probably first used in the Hindenburg Line. This is likely to have been the time when they acquired their incongruous English name. The Oxford English Dictionary's earliest record of the use of the word pillbox in connection with a defensive post is from 13 September 1917, after the German withdrawal onto the Hindenburg Line.[2]
Pillboxes are often camouflaged in order to conceal their location and to maximize the element of surprise. They may be part of a trench system, form an interlocking line of defence with other pillboxes by providing covering fire to each other (defence in depth), or they may be placed to guard strategic structures such as bridges and jetties.
The French Maginot line built between the world wars consisted of a massive bunker and tunnel complex, but as most of it was below ground little could be seen from the ground level. The exception were the concrete blockhouses and pillboxes which were placed above ground to allow the garrison of the Maginot line to engage an attacking enemy.[3]
About 28,000 pillboxes and other hardened field fortifications were constructed in England in 1940 as part of the British anti-invasion preparations of World War II. About 6,500 of these structures still survive.[4]
Pillboxes for the Czechoslovak border fortifications were built before the Second World War in Czechoslovakia in defence against the German invasion of Czechoslovakia. None of these were actually used against its intended enemy, since the German military met no resistance when invading the country because it was effectively forced to capitulate as a result of Allies annexing the country's border areas and handing them to Germany, but some were used against the liberating Russian armies. The Japanese also made use of pillboxes in their fortifications of Iwo Jima.

Battles with billfish vary greatly, the fish sometimes tiring early enough in the fight to be taken quickly, while at other times settling in for a long battle.
What makes the difference? "If you rest, the fish rests," says Rob Ruwitch, who has released more than 2,500 billfish in 20-plus years of targeting them. "That fish will find a comfort zone of some kind, maybe nice, cool water under a thermocline. It gets its head down, and you'll lose line."
Ruwitch says constant pressure with short, quick strokes of the rod shortens fights. "It's just a little lift of the rod, and then a crank down. If you're gaining, even if it's a few inches at a time, the fish is losing," he says.
Ruwitch's goal is a rapid succession of short rod strokes and quick single cranks on the reel. This technique — commonly called "short stroking" — was popularized by yellowfin tuna fishermen on long-range boats out of Southern California, where 200-plus-pound fish are taken from stationary boats without aid of fighting chairs. But short stroking is effective on any fish with tackle of any size.
Heavy Tackle
Short stroking works well with 50- or 80-pound stand-up tackle. Big gimbal plates span across both thighs, and harnesses distribute pressure from a reel equally between the lower back and buttocks. Short, stiff rods give fishermen power to lift.
"You want your rod adjusted, so when you're standing upright it's pointing no higher than 20 degrees above the water," says Dennis Braid, founder of Braid Products (braidproducts.com). "When you lift, you want that rod tip up around 45 degrees," he says, so each stroke lifts about two feet of line. Relating it to the hour hand on a clock face, the rod angle doesn't fall below 2:30 (15 degrees) nor above 1:30 (45 degrees). Lifting higher, between 45 and 75 degrees, Braid says: "You move your body just as far, but the rod tip bends over. You're gaining only eight or 10 inches of line."
Medium Tackle
Lighter tackle and fights that can change rapidly (e.g., billfish) often don't call for a harness. Ruwitch frequently uses just a Rod Huki — a Tshaped extension that fits over the rod gimbal (rodhukidirect.com) — primarily to keep the rod from rotating. (Braid prefers a waist belt with a gimbal pin.) When fight times extend, Ruwitch switches to a harness he's preadjusted for fit and rod position.
Billfish typically fight out, away from the boat, which calls for keeping the rod tip a bit higher, Ruwitch says. At that point, he's working the 30- to 50-degree range — between 1 and 2 on the clock.
Battles with billfish vary greatly, the fish sometimes tiring early enough in the fight to be taken quickly, while at other times settling in for a long battle.
