text: On July 17, 1994, approximately 1120 Pacific daylight time, an experimental Black RV-4, N144US, sustained substantial damage while landing at Twisp, Washington. The private pilot, who owned the aircraft and was the sole occupant, was uninjured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. No flight plan was filed for the flight from Methow Valley Airport, Winthrop, Washington. The pilot, who built the aircraft and had approximately 800 hours in the aircraft, stated that on short final the "bottom dropped out," and the aircraft landed hard, bending the gear and engine mount, and buckled the firewall. The wing was also damaged by impact with a fence post that was apparently near the runway threshold. The pilot stated that the aircraft ended up back in the air. He did not know if he pushed the throttle forward during the impact sequence, but he had a stuck throttle and mixture control. He said that he flew the aircraft back to Methow Valley Airport and landed successfully.

Zira was excited. It was not often that the head of the Intelligence Department aboard the DNS was excited about his work. Usually his work meant weeks of examining captured shipping documents, of poring over reports from a multitude of foreign agents that often included members of Klingon subject races, or searching through battle reports seeking to project enemy supply needs. Anything that he could decipher or collate might help him discover a pattern that would allow Commodore Arrax to gain the upper hand in the next battle. Every battle had some bearing upon the survival of the Holdfast itself.
Now he thought he had something that might be useful. An Orion agent had overheard some "bar talk" from a pair of Hilidarians. He had passed on the information that the lone Seltorian FCR had left the resupply depot, and that in addition to its normal restocking of several different Seltorian carriers, it was also going to restock a fighter rally point hidden in an asteroid field. The agent passed on the name of the rally point, but he had no idea where the rally point was.
But Zira did.
Some time ago, another Orion agent had sold them the location of this particular rally point. The rally point existed primarily as a fallback point for fighter sweeps that had run afoul of pirates, been separated from their convoy, or had been left behind when their carrier could not wait to pick them up, as when fleeing the occasional Tholian deep raid. Until now, they had never had a use for the information, just as they never had a use for ninety-nine percent of the information their intelligence network ferreted away from their enemies. But it was all filed away, cross-indexed, and collated, just for the day when one tiny fact in the vast database would suddenly be needed.
He sped down the corridor, leaning forward to gain speed. Other Tholians, seeing his obvious hurry, moved out of his way as he neared them. He approached the half-pipe that connected Deck B to Deck A. He knew the Commodore would be on the bridge. As he half-slid, half-floated into the half-pipe, he began to feel a shift in orientation. His magnetic sense and his gravamagnetic organ were functioning to smoothly alter his perception of what was up and what was down. He came out of the half-pipe oriented upside down from where he had been, but right side up for where he was. This innate ability of all Tholians was a minor blessing he knew. It was another factor that enemy boarding parties had to deal with. It must be a nightmare for a Klingon to try to navigate from deck to deck in their bulky environmental suits, all the while taking fire.
Of course the obverse is true also. He had read several reports of boarding actions on Klingon and Seltorian ships, and the bulky environmental suits the Tholian raiders were forced to wear put them at a strong disadvantage.
He leaned more vertically as he neared the bridge. As he entered, he was moving at normal speed. Through the dark, heat-distorted atmosphere, he saw Commodore Arrax conferring with his prime officer. He paused and waited deferentially until they finished their conversation, trying hard to control the flaring of his eyes and the orange streaks of light that occasionally flashed through his semi-translucent body.
As he was waiting, he slowly turned around to view the bridge. Compared to his small working area, the bridge was spacious indeed. However, through his work over the years, he had learned that other races of the galaxy might consider it tiny and cramped. The Federation surely would.
His thoughts were interrupted as Commodore Arrax finished up with the prime officer and dismissed him. As the Commodore turned to face Zira, the intelligence officer's inner core shining softly, telling the admiral that he had discovered something, and was as excited as he was proud about it. Zira saluted and Arrax motioned for him to speak.
"Commodore, I have information that you might find usable." He waited for the commodore to give his assent to speak before continuing. "We know the Seltorians are a vengeful race. I believe it may be possible for us to take advantage of this racial trait by setting an ambush for the Seltorian FCR. This ambush might goad the Seltorians into a rash response that will not end as they think it will, simply because they do not know our true strength yet."
Quickly, he conveyed his findings and suppositions, noting with satisfaction the signs that the Commodore was also becoming excited. He had been worried that Arrax would think that he was trying to manufacture evidence. Evidence that would help make up for his failure to predict the fighter raid that had wrecked the convoy a few days earlier. But it was clear that the commander had no intention of holding blame in that matter.
A few moments later, he left the bridge, feeling very satisfied that his input today might have made a difference in their battle for survival, and that Commodore Arrax would come up with a way to take advantage of this information.
Arrax gazed thoughtfully after Major Zira. The commodore had been worried that the intelligence officer's failure to properly forecast the components of the force that had been sent against the convoy would have a detrimental effect upon Zira's career, not from the commodore, but from Zira himself. Arrax certainly knew the difficulties involved when trying to divine what the Klingons and the Seltorians were planning. But the intelligence officer was the type who would break himself into shards with overwork trying to make up for what he perceived as a mistake.
The four patrol ships slowly idled along, engines barely humming as they negotiated the asteroid field. Clearly Tholian in origin, they were deep behind the nominal front lines. But despite their similarity to the deadly Arachnid-class patrol boats, they were not normal patrol boats.
At first glance, they looked like the deadly, triangular-shaped patrol boats they were derived from, but a closer examination would show that all of them had their primary weapons removed and that two of them were little more than cargo variants of the Arachnid-class patrol boat.
The other two looked even odder. They, too, were missing their heavy weapons, but each one had four odd-looking triangular shapes attached to them. These shapes did not belong to them and were only attached to them by mechanical linkages oddly similar to what the patrol boats themselves used to attach to their mother ship. In short, the shapes were fighters and the two ships were fighter-conveyer variants of the patrol boats.
Orrna was not pleased. Even though her view of the universe was beautiful from her vantage point in the cockpit of one of the fighters, she did not like being a passenger. Having to relinquish control and relying on someone else to do all the navigating and flying was not something she did easily. But if everything went as planned, her discomfort would be worth it.
She twisted uneasily in her harness. The mission had been a long one. They were near the end of the combat range of the small patrol ships, and at the extreme limit of her fighter's range. That was just one of the ideas behind the versatile fighter-conveyer ship system, to extend the range of fighters and enable them to hit targets that would otherwise be safe from harm. Reflexively, she ticked off several other reasons the Fi-Con system had came into use.
In addition to extending the range of fighters, they were often used to supplement an FCR, bringing fighters that were ready to fight to a carrier that was closer to the front. Sometimes they were used to ferry replacement fighters from an FCR when only a few were needed, keeping the valuable FCR farther from the fighting. They were also used to recover fighters or shuttles left in space when their ship went down. She had even heard of them being used to bring in ground attack shuttles to support ground combat operations by Commando patrol boats. As for the negatives...
She herself saw three drawbacks to the Fi-Con concept, even though there were probably many more. First, most of the weapons had to be stripped from the patrol ships making them essentially defenseless while they waited for their charges to return from the raid. The other races of the galaxy had been experimenting with the concept for a while. She had heard that more than one Fi-Con had been destroyed because it had been caught behind enemy lines while waiting for a fighter strike to finish its business. She shuddered. If her Fi-Con was destroyed, she wouldn't have a ride back to the friendly confines of her meditation chamber. She could, at best, head for a rally point where an environmental shelter stocked with supplies had been set up on an asteroid, and wait, perhaps for weeks, for a rescue. Ironically, it was a rally point much like the one they were seeking.
Second, the Fi-Con itself could not rearm the fighters it carried. While not problematical for Tholians, she knew that it was potentially a huge problem for the Kzintis. The Kzintis were a nominal ally that used a lot of drone-armed fighters. I feel sorry for any of their fighters that are caught at the pickup point after they have expended all of their drones in a raid, she mused. The resulting slaughter would be horrendous.
The third drawback was not really a drawback, but came down to her personal preference. Because they could not service the fighters they carried, she could not fly the heavy-hitting assault version of the Spider that she preferred. She was stuck flying the stripped-down Spider-III with the oversized canopy, a specialized dogfighter version that lacked the punch of her Spider-II. Sure, it could fly rings around her assault fighter, but maneuverability didn't matter a lot when you were trying to kill a ship in a fighter designed to kill other fighters. She preferred to kill ships.
And they were trying to kill a ship. She did not know what cracked-crystal brain had thought up this mission, but she didn't think much of it. The likelihood that they could destroy the Seltorian FCR at the rally point was in her opinion, remote. Then she grinned to herself. They do not pay me for my opinions.
Setting the strike up had also been complicated. Normally the patrol boat flotilla would have drawn this mission. But they were in the middle of another mission, one that by now might even be complete considering the amount of time her strike had been in-flight. So the Commodore had used the only other assets he had available.
The DNS group had four patrol boats attached to the escorts. Two of them were supply variants. They were primarily used for quick supply runs since carriers tended to run out of mission-critical items before they received their normal resupply. Only by sheer happenstance had they both been available for this strike.
The other two were the Fi-Cons that her fighters were attached to. They were variants of the standard Arachnid that had been attached to the DNS group because of their versatility.
There were other problems. Because no assault fighters could be carried by the Fi-Cons, they didn't initially have enough fighters to fill out all four positions on each Fi-Con either, but they still had plenty of spare fighters on the FCR that was supporting the DNS group. The Commodore had ordered three spare Spider-IIIs be taken out of storage from the FCR. Those three fighters and the EW fighter would fly from the second Fi-Con. Otherwise; they would have been flying Spider-IIs with empty disruptors.
The maintenance squadron had then been called upon to work miracles to prepare them for this mission, all the while under serious time constraints. The mission had to be pulled off quickly, but the maintenance squadron had accomplished the assignment without complaint.
Lastly, the assault fighter pilots had been called upon to volunteer for this mission. All of them had leaned forward for the mission, as she was sure the Commodore had known they would. The downside of volunteering was that it left her no room to complain, except about the fighter she was driving. She could always complain about that. At least this version of the Spider was as sturdy as her assault fighter.
A light flashed on her panel. The disembodied voice of the Fi-Con's launch control officer came screeching over her headset. It is time. They must have discovered that the rally point is indeed real. She had been half-expecting that the Intel-supplied information would be false and the mission a bust. She knew that if they had been unable to find the rally point, they would have aborted the mission and headed for home.
She felt the distinct chunks of the mech-links that held her fighter captive disengaging. She slid the throttle forward slowly and pulled back on her control stick. The fighter lifted smoothly and she rolled the craft to enable her to gain separation more easily. She keyed her comm-link.
"Okay, everyone, get into position on my wing and I'll lead each of you to your drop off point. There you will power your systems down to minimum and wait for my order to engage. We don't want to spook them before we can hit them."
She checked her tactical scanner and saw that the other seven fighters were forming up on her. As they arranged themselves around her, she watched the four patrol boats begin to move off to their own separate positions in what would be a U-shaped ambush with the rally point in the center of the U. She followed them; dropping off a fighter at set intervals until only her fighter was left. As she dropped each one, she made sure that they were a sufficient distance from the expected route of the FCR to avoid detection.
Her computer beeped, notifying her that she had reached her spot in the ambush. She flipped the switches that powered down most of her fighter's systems. Another moment later, she had only the warm, comforting hum of her life support system and her passive detection sensors to keep her company. That and the glorious pinwheel view of the stars through her oversized canopy.

New York Fashion Week: Betsey Johnson
Betsey Johnson's look for next Autumn / Winter was, as always, feminine, flirty and pretty, with lots of skirts and dresses, perfectly matched ensembles and prints. However colours were more muted than in previous years, giving interest instead with a plethora of slouchy pussy-bow blouses, girly frocks and feminine fabrics like silk and chiffon.
Johnson's playful side showed itself in a more demure way than usual with sweet satin rosebuds on prom-worthy dresses. Trousers were cut either close to the leg in velvet, or slouchy and '30s style in grey wool. Lace gloves nodded to the '80s and reminded me of Betsey's Desperately Seeking Susan-esque personal style.
There were some prints and colours, of course, and the striped dress (maybe a bit too 'Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat' for me) and tiered purple dress were fun. The pin-up shorts suits were stand-out pieces. Perhaps not so good on those of us without gazelle limbs, but gorgeous on the catwalk (and those shoes will no doubt have Rockabilly fans salivating).
Lace overlays, chevron zebra stripes and even a touch of last Winter's houndstooth featured in a black and white section of the show that also included some pretty black tea dresses with pale trims and and oversized check coat...and some french maids (!)
Finally, some longer frocks to end the show. The far right aspirin dot white number verged on being a bit too 'I'm a cute virginal milkmaid', but the rest were reliably pretty and wearable.

I agree, but I think this is one of those cases where the "lazy and inaccurate usage of the phrase" is overtaking the original meaning, in practice. It was clear what he meant for exactly this reason.
Re: Secular Decline ?
I'm not sure what you looked up, or where, but in economics, the term "secular" means simply "long-term", usually 10+ years. So a "secular decline" is a long-term decline. So why not just say that? Because it isn't sufficiently business jargonish, I guess.

I assume this meant "debt" rather than "stock". S&P doesn't grade stocks in this fashion.

Why Stop There?
"...we should prepare for a wave of HR consultants pointing to this study and looking for automated tools designed to analyse every aspect of a person's online identity in order to figure out whether they have what it takes to man the drive-up window next summer."
But why end with the mere initial decision to employ? You could set up to get notifications of any change to an employee's Facebook profile (full access required, or you can't work for us!), reanalyze in real time, and if the employee no longer measures up, send an automatic termination notice. So much more "efficient" than those labor-intensive performance reviews.

"Diagnose" Cancer?
Don't think so. Of course there are many different diseases covered by the term, but few if any of them can be diagnosed by means of a blood test alone; they require a tissue biopsy for an accurate diagnosis. So at best this could provide some sort of front-line screening. And then the issue of false positives leading to unnecessary biopsies would rear its ugly head. So: Needs more work.

Ironic Position
... from my perspective at least. In my own case (multiple myeloma), there are people having the suspect mutations but not the disease itself. Evidently, the malignancy must be triggered by additional environmental factors (although admittedly no one can say exactly what these are). There is a strong suspicion that environmental degradation may account for the increasing incidence and declining diagnosis ages seen over the past couple of decades. Again I am speaking only about the one form of cancer that I happen to know something about.
Google beats chip and server makers to the future
Flawed Reasoning
I forget the exact quote, or which famous economist said it, but the core idea is that if you are in a market with no competition, then there really is no such market. If there really is demand for this technology then competitors will arise to fill it.
Also, the analogy with oil is a false one. Oil is a non-renewable physical commodity with a relatively inflexible supply. Technological innovation is none of these things.

Ever since Unity School built its own "Field of Dreams" sports facility, students have been having a field day. Coaches Sharon Gerry and Travis Schaffer organized an old-fashioned springtime field day last week for 400 students, from 2-year-old preschoolers to 14-year-old eighth-graders.
This was the third annual event staged on the natural, regulation-size sports field.
The Field of Dreams was constructed several years ago after Unity School parents and supporters raised more than $1 million in funding. The field and ALEC Gymnasium allow the Unity Mustangs to host intramural sports events, including flag football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball and volleyball with numerous schools in the area. The school facilities are also used for daily physical education classes.

Summer research is conducted during a 10-week period extending from approximately the last week in May through the first week in August. Although the summer research program in chemistry is often referred to as the Hackman Program because funding provided by Dr. William Hackman '39, an alumnus of the College, and his wife Lucille, has supported summer research for nearly twenty years, the funds for student stipends, chemicals and equipment, come from a variety of sources; e.g., grants from the National Science Foundation, the Petroleum Research Fund, or Research Corporation obtained by faculty members, industrial support to the department from companies such as Dupont and Merck, and support from foundations such as the Dreyfus Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Beckman Foundation. In addition to the Hackman Scholarships, students have been supported through a variety of sources. Criteria for summer scholarships can be found at Scholarships Criteria.
Students interested in summer research are encouraged to contact faculty members early in the spring semester. A brief introduction to each faculty member's research is provided in the Faculty Research section of the Department's web site.

Iowa communities along the Des Moines River are getting ready for flooding as the water level of a reservoir north of the capital rises.
The Army Corps of Engineers says the water could start flowing over the spillway by Monday. Corps of Engineers' spokesman Ron Fournier says the reservoir's water will likely rise above its flooding level on March 26.
Warm temperatures and rain expected tomorrow and Friday in Des Moines could increase the flooding risk.
Several Des Moines neighborhoods hit hard by flooding two years ago are again at risk.
The east fork of the Des Moines River is expected to crest at 22 feet tomorrow.
Emmet County residents in north-central Iowa are keeping a close eye on river levels because of an ice jam that's causing the Des Moines River to swell.

Last night was a good'un for Rita Ora, as she walked the red carpet at the British Fashion Awards with Mossy and looked extremely glamorous in Vivienne Westwood sequins. But that's not all, as during the event she managed to find the time to Tweet that she has landed a role in Fifty Shades of Grey. Seriously.
Rita will star alongside Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson playing Mia Grey, the adopted younger sister of Christian Grey. In case you aren't a Fifty Shades fanatic, let us give you a quick character profile. Mia's Fifty Shades wiki page (yep, this is a thing) describes her as 'bubbly and outgoing' and 'tall and curvaceous.' She is fluent in French, studied cooking in Paris and plays the cello. It looks like Rita Ora will be back in the hairdressers' chair to get rid of those platinum locks, as the character has a raven sleek bob.
There have been mixed reactions to the casting, with some Tweeps writing comments such as 'It's official. That movie is going downhill now.' As expected the Ritabots have been showing their support, using more exclamation marks than letters in their messages to Rita. So what do you think of the casting? It is certainly a step up from her cameo in Fast & Furious 6. Have your say by voting below...
Rita's career is moving at a colossal pace - her CV gets updated more often than she dyes her hair. See what has been added to Rita's Wikipedia page this year...
1. She was signed up as a designer for Adidas
2. She had a night in Paris with Karl Lagerfeld for a photoshoot
3. She starred in her first campaign for Rimmel London
4. And she followed in Cara's footsteps, modelling for DKNY
5. She made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week
6. She got the thumbs up from Madonna, and became the face of Material Girl
7. She became pals with fashion royalty, Kate Moss
8. She gave presenting a go, hosting the Teen Awards with Nick Grimshaw
9. She became planet fashion's latest muse
10. She started dating Mr Calvin Harris
Phewf! Here's hoping the girl can put her feet up this Christmas. See the best of her style evolution in the gallery below...

I am researching relatives who resided in Falmouth, Nova Scotia in the 18th century. I have seen references to early tax records from Nova Scotia as a census alternative. I know NEHGS has microfilm of the Canadian Census 1851-1901, but do you have any early Falmouth records?
Besides the 1851-1901 census records for Nova Scotia we do have earlier tax records for Falmouth. Not that these tax records did not name other family members, nor give the age of the occupant. The years 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795 we have are on microfilm [NEHGS call # HA/741/C4-1767-1838]. These are located in cabinet # 57 on the 4th Floor Microtext Library.

Will home sales bloom this spring?
It's almost the first day of spring, traditionally the season for home sales to start gaining momentum. And with a plethora of routine residential real estate economic reports due out this week, you might want to start planning your coverage of the always-hoped-for turnaround in the home sales stagnation that started nearly five years ago, after a mid-2007 pricing peak.
Of course, most readers and viewers are wondering gridlock is easing; you can start with forecasts from real estate agents, lenders, title companes and appraisers about what they are seeing so far; I lke this Steve Brown column from the Dallas Morning News (reprined on LoanSafe.org) as a good template for an overview of the season from a variety of sources.
Keep in mind not all sellers are occupants; you might scout around for people who have inherited property from recently deceased loved ones, or landlords, or recently married/partnered people looking to consolidate into one dwelling – those individuals might be saddled with multiple property tax/mortgage bills and probably fall into the 'extremely motivated' seller category – a separate feature on those issues, including financing terms they may be willing to offer (does anyone do land contracts nowadays?) or selling homes furnished, or auctions and estate sales, might be a fresh and interesting angle.
As always, I urge you to consider a standing feature that chronicles the ups and downs of sellers and buyers throughout the season. April 1 would be a good starting point for a blog or weekly blurb (it need not be prose, just a graphic with photo, caption and brief update) following consumers and/or a Realtor or two throughout the season.
Data scheduled to be released this week includes:
Tuesday: Housing starts, the new residential construction report, is due out from the U.S. Census Bureau; note that it also includes building permit activity and housing completions. I also like a related report, characteristics of new housing. While the numbers are not super-fresh, they suggest a lot of interesting questions for present-day builders, buyers and realtors about trends in construction and finish materials, square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms and other aspects of what today's consumers are looking for in homes compared to in previous years. Check it out.
Wednesday: Existing home sales for February, from the National Associaton of Realtors; it'll be interesting to see if unseasonably warm weather nationwide kick-started what traditionally is a tepid month for sales. The Mortgage Bankers Association also posts their weekly round-up of loan application activity on Wednesdays; last week's report said refinancing's share of the pie had dipped a few percentage points but it still accounts for a whopping three-quarters of all home loan applications. That's a story in an of itself; who's qualifying for refis, what monthly savings are they pocketing and what are they doing with the extra cash — anything to stimulate the local economy?
Thursday: The Federal Housing Finance Agency's home price index is expected; note the price appreciation interactive map. Also, Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort Index could provide some interesting context for stories about real estate buying and selling.
Friday: New home sales, another report from the census bureau. The National Association of Home Builders is also a good resource on this topic; its website includes extensive links to sources of housing data.

Blackened Quail
Monday, November 26th, 2012
A few months back, a friend of mine opened up to me about his secret passion for woodcock hunting. I, too, have an undeniable love affair with the American timberdoodle. This migrating aspen and alder tornado is an awesome game bird for pointing dogs and an under-appreciated challenge for wingshooters.
This same anonymous friend shared with me a woodcock recipe to transform the timberdoodle from a meat equated to flying liver into a white linen delicacy. I've bagged 15 woodcock this season and sautéed every single one to rave reviews employing his recipe. Unfortunately, I've exhausted my timberdoodle freezer reserves; consequently, last evening I substituted Nebraska's Rooster Road Trip quail for woodcock in my newfound favorite recipe. Whether you've got timberdoodle, quail, ruffed grouse or a pheasant breast in the freezer, I believe you'll find this recipe easy, tasty and addictive.
- 3 de-boned quail breasts
- Olive oil
- Chef Paul Prudhommes redfish blackening seasoning
1) Brush the quail breasts generously with olive oil
2) Liberally sprinkle the breasts with Chef Paul Prudhommes blackening seasoning
3) Sauté the breasts on medium-high heat in a frying pan for 3 or 4 minutes
4) Flip the breasts over and sauté for 2 or 3 minutes
5) Serve with a side of Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and wild rice

Pheasants Forever, "The Friends with Benefits Organization"
Monday, September 24th, 2012
I was struggling. It was Sunday morning and I was on the second day of a fruitless grouse hunting/scouting excursion intended to produce some new spots. You see, I've been hunting my exact same haunts the last five years and "my" aspen stands were starting to age out of their grousey prime. So, I'd set off east and north of my normal destinations in search of new coverts.
I spent Saturday pounding decent looking grouse woods with very little flushes. And the one layup shot presented to me clanked off the backboard with a horribly makeable miss.
Truth be told, I was really struggling with two nagging thoughts in my mind. First, it was my first solo exploring expedition with two dogs, so I was very nervous about losing my 6-month old pup in the woods. Second, I was nervous about getting lost myself. Despite my GPS lock on my truck's location, I had trouble diving into the grouse woods with abandon. Fortunately, hope was just around the corner.
Around 11AM on Sunday, I rounded the corner of a state forest gravel road and passed two trucks on my right. To my surprise, I recognized the two faces under the blaze orange hats. If you've attended Pheasant Fest or Game Fair in the last ten years, then you'd probably have recognized both of them too. They were Tom Poorker and Mark Haslup from Focus Outdoors Television and Midwest GunDog Kennels.
After commenting on the serendipity of their coming out of the woods at the exact moment I drove by, I shared with them my frustration of learning a new grouse woods. That's when my luck turned around. Although, they'd both been set to finish their hunting for the day with dog training obligations waiting at Midwest GunDog Kennels, they offered to show me a spot in their home woods. They even went so far as to insist on my two pups being the only dogs in the woods as their bird dogs had already completed their work for the morning.
Needless to say, we found grouse and woodcock in the woods where these two veteran hunters aimed our trio. In fact, Mark bagged a nice opening weekend timberdoodle that my young pup was able to deliver to his hand, and Tom brought down a beautiful ruff with a dandy shot. However, I earned the trophy of the morning's walk with renewed confidence.
After sharing a few laughs over our impromptu hunting trip and thanking them for their generosity, I went north in search of some spots of my own. And I finally started to find what I was looking for in the woods. In fact, in one particular alder/aspen mix, I elected to hunt my 6-month old shorthair solo for the first time and she produced three neatly pointed woodcock, quickly earning me a day's limit.
To me, the moral of the story is that membership in Pheasants Forever definitely delivers more habitat on the ground – we've got 8.5 million acres of proof of that fact – however, membership in Pheasants Forever also creates friendships. Whether you're a chapter officer, banquet goer or Pheasant Fest attendee, your involvement in Pheasants Forever will introduce you to new people, good people. Some will even become your friends, help you train your dog, and show you a new hunting spot.
To Mark & Tom: Thanks a bunch for a great experience! It truly meant a lot to me for you to take the time out of your plans to give me a little nudge in the right direction.

A Bird Dog's Life List
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Over the holiday weekend, I caught up on some reading. An article in the most recent issue of The Pointing Dog Journal particularly caught my attention. The piece titled "My Bucket List" was written by Tom Davis, also a contributor to the Pheasants Forever Journal. As the name implies, Tom writes about the hunting adventures he'd like to have before he passes on. It was an interesting read and likely follows thoughts many of us have this time of year as we review our calendars, health, and dog power for the coming autumn. I wrote a similar blog post a year ago titled "My Bird Hunting Bucket List."
However, what really grabbed my attention was Tom's tally of the wild upland game bird species shot over his bird dog. Turns out, this sort of "Bird Dog Life List" is fairly common. A couple of guys; Joseph A. Augustine (English Setters) and the renowned Ben O. Williams (Brittany) have even penned bird dog hunting books on the topic. The consensus is twenty different North American upland game birds constitute a "Grand Slam."
So as I look toward my own German shorthaired pointer's fourth season, I have taken inventory on Trammell's own bird hunting life list. Here is Tram's current tally: a) species I successfully shot over her point, b) the year it occurred and c) the state in which it took place.
- Ruffed Grouse, 2007, Michigan
- Pheasant, 2007, Minnesota
- Timberdoodle, 2007, Michigan
- Hungarian Partridge, 2008, Montana
- Sharp-tailed Grouse, 2008, Montana
In some respects, I look at that list and feel guilty. There's the greater prairie chicken I missed in South Dakota's Fort Pierre Grasslands last year. And there's the doggy plane ticket to Georgia I couldn't afford preventing bobwhite quail from hitting her list.
On the other hand, three seasons with Tram have been the best three seasons of my hunting career. And if you consider the dozens of states and subspecies necessary to reach double digits, a guy could go broke chasing this list. Plus, I'll be in the Fort Pierre Grasslands in three weeks and I smell redemption. Come to think of it, I'll be in Nebraska (bobwhite quail) and Kansas (lesser prairie chickens) in November too. Hunting season is here and things are looking up!
In the comment section below, post the following: a) your dog's breed, b) your dog's name, c) your dog's age, and d) how many birds on his/her life list so far?
Thinking Spring
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
It's supposed to break 70 degrees today in Minnesota. Those temps have got me thinking about spring. Here's a mixed bag of what's rattling around in my head today.
Pheasant Mating Season: Have you heard the roosters cackling? That's right, it's mating season for ringnecks with the all-important nesting season right around the corner. The peak of the pheasant hatch typically occurs about June 10th. My fingers are crossed for a warm and dry early June in states like Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota to help the birds rebound after a harsh winter. In western states, I'm hoping for some early spring rain to green up the vegetation and kick off insect production. Did you know that pheasant chicks' main diet right out of the shell is a high protein insect buffet? It's true. Learn more about pheasant nesting season and the ringneck's lifecycle by following this link. Also stay tuned to www.PheasantsForever.org. PF's super intern Jared Wiklund is putting the polishing touches on Pheasants Forever's 2009/2010 winter impact assessment.
Morel Mushrooms: According to www.Morels.com, folks have already found morels as far north as Ohio and Indiana. It seems like we may be in for an early mushroom hunting season this year. Excellent!
Boat Shopping: My wife Meredith and I are in search of our first boat. As a household with two non-profit incomes (Meredith works for Ronald McDonald House Charities), it's going to be a used starter boat. We're looking for a skiff that will satisfy our fishing focus of muskies, pike, bass, and panfish . . . with a little sun deck for the gal when the fish aren't biting. Hopefully we find one this evening . . . the ice is coming off Bald Eagle Lake today – our neighborhood fishery.
College Sports Predictions:
NCAA Basketball Champ: Michigan State University Spartans
NCAA Hockey Champ: Miami (Ohio) University RedHawks
Timberdoodling: That's right, Trammell (my German shorthaired pointer), pointed her first woodcock of the spring on a WMA near Forest Lake, Minnesota last evening.
WMAs closed to dogs on April 16th: Speaking of bird dogging, please remember that Wildlife Management Areas in Minnesota are closed to dogs on April 16th through July 14th to protect ground nesting birds like pheasants and ducks. Please be sure to check with your state's natural resources agency to find out when your public lands are off limits to canines.

text: Although most students are eagerly anticipating the close of the school year, summer months can have a detrimental effect on students academic progress. Its called the "summer slide" where skills gained during the school year melt away with the heat. "Summer learning loss" oftentimes turn into repetitive teaching practices for educators who are forced to spend a good portion of the beginning of the school year playing catch up rather than moving on to new concepts.

Highway 154 Open, One Dead in Early-Morning Crash
Updated On: Dec 06 2013 11:41:40 PM CST
Crews have re-opened the pass just before 9:00 a.m. after a car accident. There may be some residual slowing so allow for some extra travel time.
The road was closed between Cathedral Oaks and Old San Marcos Pass while emergency teams worked to clear the roadway.
Santa Barbara County Fire said one person died in a single car rollover near Painted Cave Road north of San Antonio Creek.
The California Highway Patrol reports the crash happened at 5:33 a.m. Friday. CHP told drivers to use Highway 101 to avoid the closure.
The cause of the accident is under investigation by the CHP.

Once you return home, exercise is still important to prevent complications and
to build strength, as well as improve the motion of your hip. This will help
you to increase your activity level to what it was before surgery.
Your leg muscles probably feel weak because you didn't use them much with your
hip problems. Surgery corrected the hip problem.
A regular exercise program will strengthen the weakened muscles. Your success
with rehabilitation largely depends on your commitment to follow the exercise
program developed by your therapists.
Ideally, you should exercise two to three times a day, every day, after surgery.
Follow specific directions given to you by your doctor, therapist or nurse.
Complete each exercise 10 times. If you are comfortable with the exercise,
increase the repetitions by five times each week, until you reach 20 repetitions:
For the most comfort, do your exercises lying down. Your bed is an excellent
place to do your exercises.
Bend both your ankles up, pulling your toes toward you, then bend both
your ankles down, pointing your toes away from you. In addition, rotate
your foot clockwise and counterclockwise, keeping your toes pointed toward
the ceiling.
Tighten the muscles in front of your thigh by pushing the back of your
knee down into the bed. Hold for 5 seconds and relax.
Bend your hip and knee by sliding your heel up toward your buttocks while
keeping your heel on the bed. Slide your heel back down to the starting
position. Keep your kneecap pointed up toward the ceiling during the exercise.
You may want to use a cookie sheet under your heel to help it slide easier.
Slide your involved leg out to the side, keeping your kneecap pointed
up toward the ceiling. Slide your leg back to the starting position. You
may want to use a cookie sheet under your heel to help it slide easier.
Lie on your back with a 3-pound coffee can or rolled blanket under your
involved knee. Straighten your involved knee. Hold for 5 seconds. Slowly
lower your leg down and relax. The back of your knee should stay in contact
with the can/blanket throughout the exercise.
Tighten your buttocks muscles by squeezing the muscles together. Hold
for 5 seconds.
Sit in a sturdy chair. Straighten your knee as much as possible. Hold
for 5 seconds. Slowly lower your leg down and relax.
Bend your involved knee a little and tighten the muscle along the back
of your thigh by digging your heel into the bed. Hold for 5 seconds.
Tighten muscles on the outside part of your thigh by pushing the involved
leg outward against an immovable object. Hold for 5 seconds and relax.
Bend your uninvolved leg with foot flat on the bed. Raise your involved
leg up (about 12 inches), keeping your knee straight. Hold briefly. Progress
to holding for 5 seconds and relax.
Slowly raise your buttocks from the bed, keeping your stomach muscles
tight. Hold for ______ seconds. Slowly lower your buttocks to the bed.
Relax and repeat.
Besides your exercise program, you must leave time for walking. Walking helps
build your strength and endurance.
Walk around your home three to five times each day. Trips to the bathroom or
kitchen are not enough. Progress to walking outside and in the community.

"Villages were created to provide efficient services under local control and the watchful eye of residents," stated Nassau County Village Officials Association President Ralph Kreitzman, mayor of the Village of Great Neck. "Village government is the government closest to the people, the most cost-effective, efficient, and responsive form of local government." And it is the mission of the NCVOA to support and preserve these critical municipalities.
Founded in 1925, the NCVOA consists of the 64 incorporated villages in Nassau County, with nearly 435,000 residents. "Our organization proudly serves as an advocate for municipal governments and residents on local, state and national levels," Mayor Kreitzman told Anton Newspapers. The NCVOA leaders are the mayors and trustees of the villages, "your friends and neighbors … accessible at all hours of the day and night … they care about the communities in which they live and are dedicated to making them as desirable as possible."
Mayor Kreitzman continued, explaining that the "NCVOA functions as a resource for village officials, providing education, shared services, and other opportunities for villages to improve efficiencies and maintain a quality of life for their residents."Many Nassau County villages were created more than 100 years ago, during the more rural days of the county. According to Mayor Kreitzman: "It is not surprising that most of the people who live in an incorporated village chose to do so for one simple reason … they desire a special quality of life and level of services … they do not want a government that is distant, unresponsive, and costly."
Mayor Kreitzman continued: "Dollar for dollar, village government is the most efficient and cost effective vehicle for providing necessary and other services that residents need and want. Unlike towns or cities, villages do not have high salaried senior officials or multi-layers of bureaucracies and duplication. Nearly all mayors and trustees serve part-time and receive little, if any, compensation." And he added that, "In addition to being organized with economically efficient staffs, villages have taken the lead in controlling rising costs by sharing services and equipment."
According to NCVOA Executive Director Warren Tackenberg, former mayor of New Hyde Park, the organization works towards "encouraging and stimulating cooperation among the member villages for their mutual benefit and welfare."
To this end, Mr. Tackenberg added: "The NCVOA is dedicated to providing village officials with a forum for exchanging ideas and experiences in the administration of their municipal duties; developing educational programs and conferences to assist village officials with implementing their civic responsibilities; studying and discussing various activities and actions that will benefit the public safety, health and welfare of the member villages governed by these officials; and investigating and discussing the most efficient means and methods of village government."
On a regular basis, the NCVOA is continually engaged in advocating for villages, advocating both in Nassau County and in New York State. They educate members at monthly meetings and provide interesting, relevant speakers at those meetings. Reports are presented at the meetings, and, as well, reports are published in a monthly newsletter. NCVOA members spend considerable time monitoring topics and issues that may be relevant to the villages and then report back with vital information. NCVOA meetings serve as a forum for discussion and the sharing of experiences and useful information. Members have the opportunity each month to share such information such as cost-saving initiatives. One such example is a program that permits villages, their businesses, and their residents to receive an 8 percent discount off the National Grid price for supplies of natural gas.
A crucial tool for the NCVOA is to advocate for member villages, at all levels of government. In addition to the monthly general membership meetings, an executive committee comprised of the NCVOA's four officers and nine mayors or trustees also meets monthly to review issues facing the villages, prepare the reports presented at meetings, develop the organization's programs, and communicate with the members. The executive committee also meets periodically with the county executive and other representatives of government and private organizations for the benefit of their members.
Currently troublesome topics facing the villages include the mandated tax cap along with unfunded mandates; the consolidation/dissolution law which the NCVOA believes did not produce the anticipated results and caused expense and problems for a number of villages; and last year's voting machine law which permitted villages to use old lever machines at enormous cost savings, but only until the end of 2012.
Current NCVOA officials include: President Ralph J. Kreitzman, mayor of the Village of Great Neck; First Vice President Peter I. Cavallaro, mayor of Westbury; Second Vice President David E. Tanner, mayor of East Williston; and Treasurer Barbara Donno, mayor of Plandome Manor.
The Nassau County Village Officials Association committees include the following: Advisory Committee (comprising all past presidents; By-Laws Committee; Educational (Legislative) Committee; Emergency Management; Financial Management; Journal; LIMCPG (co-op purchasing); Newsletter; Program Committee; Smart Government Committee; Solid Waste Committee.

Writes LC, "Apparently they are reporting that someone watched me throw a fit and start crying because they called my name over the speaker at JFK...Really?"
"While it is a very entertaining story," she writes, "I just don't think that highly of myself."

Though chocolate mint is named more for the color of its branches than for the flavor, there's enough of a hint to add a refreshing twist to chocolatey desserts.

- Yummy!! Review by Neddy
Taste Yield
Mint chocolate chip/peppermint bon bon is one of my absolute favorites, and this surpassed any I have ever tasted. Even my husband said it may be the best ice cream he'd ever had.
I used author David Lebovitz's recipe that I found online. To gather the mint for the recipe, I brought a medium bowl of cool clean water down to my garden and rinsed mint in it as I snipped it (leaving a little of each stem with a few leaves). I then pulled and weighed the mint leaves in a separate bowl until I had 80 grams (the same as 2 cups packed). It takes a lot, so wait until you have enough , but it is a fantastic way to use up your mint.
It's been two weeks since I made it, and my mint plants are already looking pretty plush again. :) (Posted on 7/18/13)
- Love this mint Review by Thora
Taste Yield
- Great choice Review by Neddy
Taste Yield
Every spring I take just a small bit of the plant (with roots) and stick it in a plastic pot that tapers out to be as wide as a plate (11") and is about 6" deep (it originally had mother's day annuals in it) using good miracle grow soil or something). In no time, that plant gets as big as the one on the ground and it looks beautiful! Even if you forget to water it, it still will look good (but do get back to watering it. :) I'm going to try making mint chocolate chip in just a day or so. Yum!!! (Posted on 7/3/13)
- Great smelling plant Review by Patti
Taste Yield
It smells wonderful and does smell like girl scout cookies. I have not tasted it yet, but I am fond of rubbing the leaves and allowing its scent to waft about. I can't wait for it to get a bit bigger when I will begin harvesting leaves to freeze. Will make a great tea related gift for friends. (Posted on 4/29/13)

Majors and Minors
Sociology Major
CNU offers a B.A. in Sociology with concentrations in criminology and anthropology. Sociologists have careers in civil service, public relations, personnel/human relations and a variety of other fields. Today's employers are looking for creativity, innovation and critical thinking skills. CNU's liberal arts curriculum provides our students with the tools needed to begin the search for a career in sociology with marketable skill and knowledge. The American Sociological Association has more information about careers and graduate schools in sociology.
What is Sociology?
A broad-based social science, sociology covers a wealth of topics in the study of social behavior and human society. While one day you may explore the influence of media messages on socialization, the next you may examine societal effects of aging.
For years, sociologists have studied social interactions and institutions, applying both information (what we know) and theory (how we explain what occurs). Our curriculum provides a foundation for understanding the community in which you live, equipping you to participate in meaningful social change.
For more information and course descriptions, please review the Undergraduate Catalog.
What is Social Work?
Accredited by the Council on Social Work Education
Social workers spend their careers helping others, from criminal justice to the mental health field, public welfare and beyond. Students in our accredited social work program develop the essential skills, knowledge and values of the social work professions. The undergraduate major prepares you for beginning generalist social work practice.
The highly integrated social work curriculum includes sequence of study in social welfare policy and services, human behavior and the social environment, research and social work practice. Coursework includes the study of individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities.

The minor in sociology requires a minimum of 18 credits in sociology. To complete the minor, students must take SOCL 201, 205, and 12 hours of additional SOCL courses at the 300 or 400 level selected in consultation with an advisor from the department.
The minor in anthology requires a minimum of 18 credits in anthropology. Required courses are:

The study of humankind stands at the heart of anthropology. From the biological history of humans to our communication style, genders, cultures, societies and beyond, anthropologists explore people's origins (biological and cultural) and development in both past and contemporary variations.
Course topics range from human adaptation and cultural anthropology to specialized studies focusing on broad-based, intriguing topics like the refugee experience, food and culture, and language and culture - to name a few.
Criminology is the scientific study of crime as a social phenomenon. Criminologists explore the cause, extent, nature and control of criminal behavior at the individual and societal level. Explanations of criminal behavior include biological and psychological traits, social structure, strain, cultural deviance, socialization, social learning, social control, developmental, rational choice, and conflict theories.
Our curriculum provides courses in deviant behavior, criminological theory, and specialized topics such as media and crime. Since the study of criminology is influenced by numerous liberal arts disciplines, students also have the opportunity to take criminology related courses across the university.
