Submitted: 02/22/2012
- Tight end Jermichael Finley says he has agreed to a new deal with the Green Bay Packers.
Finley posted a message on his Twitter account Wednesday night appearing to confirm reports that he has agreed to return to the team. Finley wrote, ``It's TRUE! Thank you so much to the Packers organization, all my fans, and my beautiful wife.''
Finley was set to become a free agent, and the team was expected to consider using the franchise tag on him. Multiple media reports said Wednesday that Finley had re-signed with Green Bay.
Packers officials did not immediately confirm terms of the deal.

Twisted, Extreme Halloween Pumpkins: Pictures
In 1995 I bought my first house, a fixer-upper outside of Detroit. On my first Halloween, my neighbors warned me: We get a lot of trick-or-treaters here, more than a hundred." So I prepared in the only way I could: I went to the store and bought bags of candy and a couple of pumpkins. Pumpkins cost less than lights and decorations, and they seemed cooler than a costume. When I got them home, I was pressed for time, so I tried my jigsaw. It worked. It worked really well. It worked obscenely well. I giggled as I carved. My path was clear. I was going to carve pumpkins with power tools, and I would even make a website about it. Extremepumpkins.com was born. Now I write craft booksvery strange craft books. Many areas of the publishing world require writing talent and skill, but you don't need much to create instructions on how to make a human corpse out of roasted meat. Just some twisted engineering creativity and pumpkin-carving know-how.
By Tom Nardone
Most people don't carve 16 pumpkins and 60 carrots for Halloween, but those who do become the unofficial king of their neighborhood.

Bike Lasers
Pulling into the driveway, I could see that all was not well. My wife was on the front porch, surrounded by three preschoolers, all in various states of distress. As I walked up, I heard her say to my youngest daughter, 'What, exactly, is wrong?" My daughter blubbered, "Julia and Tootie said their bikes have lasers, but mine doesn't." My wife responded, "Who cares what they say? If you want to pretend your bike has a laser then pretend your … Continue reading
Developing Standards For Public Pools
Have you ever felt a degree of panic in wondering whether a pool was in compliance with the requirements of the public health code? Or how about conducting repairs or a renovation only to find the job does not comply with the governing health code?

Saving The Environment
Besides the sport played on the grass at Wimbledon, tennis is not typically considered a "green" sport. Most matches are played on hard asphalt courts, leading to the short lifespan of tennis balls that are thrown away. Additionally, players drive to local courts, and often bring single-use water bottles for refreshment. Most of these bottles and tennis-ball cans are deposited in courtside trash bins, ultimately taking their place next to 27 billion other non-recycled water bottles that ended up in … Continue reading

DUI vs. Texting While Driving Simulation Research
The United Kingdom recently released the Texting While Driving Video advertisement designed to increase public awareness that texting is not a safe thing to do when you're behind the wheels. It may be a cliche to say that Texting While Driving is dangerous but this is true. In fact, research has proven that Texting While Driving is More Dangerous than DUI. It was even featured on an episode of MythBusters in Discovery Channel.
To support this fact, here is a comparative research of two drivers who made a simulation of texting while driving and driving under the influence. First, both the drove normally as a baseline for the research. On the next situation, both drivers were texting while driving. On the third situation, both drivers were asked to drink an alcoholic beverage then drove again. What is more dangerous? driving under the influence or texting while driving? Watch this video.

The Food Revolution Pittsburgh Cooking Club: Year OneFri 06 Dec 2013
Story by Bobby Fry and Alaina Webber
For the Kids: A Year in Review for the Food Revolution Pittsburgh Cooking Club
The Challenge
After Jamie Oliver posed a one-year challenge to Pittsburgh to create a healthier city, the Food Revolution Pittsburgh Cooking Club began to take shape. We raised money, showed up each week to teach kids how to cook, and showcased what our student chefs learned by organizing a giant community party on Food Revolution Day 2013. The Food Revolution Pittsburgh team facilitated those events with the help of local partnerships, but the real story in Pittsburgh is about the kids.
In February 2013, when twenty high school students walked into an otherwise abandoned cooking room after school at the Barack Obama Academy of International Studies in Pittsburgh�s East Liberty neighborhood, they came with a desire to learn about food. Our goal was to meet that desire with proper kitchen tools, access to quality ingredients and new experiences with cooking and dining, in hopes that they would begin to take ownership of their relationship with food.
Putting their Skills to Work
Learning how to hold a knife properly, quarter a potato, make fresh juice, wash dishes, pronounce the word �arugula,� roll sushi, and plate a dish�the kids honed their kitchen skills and deduced a philosophy of food with each new task, ingredient or dish they�d never tried before. After twenty weeks, they stood alongside professional local chefs, put their skills to work and served a reinvented school lunch menu to over 1,800 of their classmates, neighbors and family members for Food Revolution Day.
Proving that a desire to try new things should never be underestimated, over $25,000 has now made its way to support the expansion of the cooking club into a partnership with Pittsburgh Public School administrators, and enabling Food Revolution Pittsburgh Fancy Water hydration stations to launch in 14 schools in just 2 months since late August 2013.
The Power of Food Education
From day one of cooking club to today�Food Revolution Pittsburgh is for, by and about the kids. It�s their story, as they recognize the power of educating themselves and begin to view eating as more than solely an act of consumption. We�ve seen a desire to try new things spark personal satisfaction, collective achievement and economic opportunities. Telling anyone and everyone about the kids� attitudes and efforts is our role. Doing the work to make sure this program continues and expands is our joy.
Below is a timeline outlining our first year of initiatives, or you can check out the image here. Stay tuned for more from the Food Revolution Team on initiatives happening in the Steel City. As they say in Pittsburgh, HERE WE GO!

Together, Bobby and Alaina oversee the Food Revolution Cooking Club and direct Food Revolution initiatives across the city. Believing that the best conversations happen over food and drink, the team takes every opportunity to build relationships and gain inspirations through sharing experiences around food.

Eric Weisbard's Top 40 Democracy: The Rival Mainstreams of American Music considers the shifting terrain of the pop music landscape, in which FM radio (once an indisputably dominant medium) constructed multiple mainstreams, tailoring each to target communities built on race, gender, class, and social identity. Charting (no pun intended) how categories rivaled and pushed against each other in their rise to reach American audiences, the book posits a counterintuitive notion: when even the blandest incarnation of a particular sub-group (the Isley Brothers version of R & B, for instance) rose to the top of the charts, so too did the visibility of that group's culture and perspective, making musical formatting one of the master narratives of late-twentieth-century identity.
In a recent piece for the Sound Studies blog, Weisbard wrote about the rise of both Taylor Swift and, via mid-term elections, the Republican Party:
The genius, and curse, of the commercial-cultural system that produced Taylor Swift's Top 40 democracy win in the week of the 2014 elections, is that its disposition is inherently centrist. Our dominant music formats, rival mainstreams engaged in friendly combat rather than culture war, locked into place by the early 1970s. That it happened right . . .

Doctor Payments: Public Information?
Quinn Phillips
September 18, 2013
For a long time, health policy experts have debated to what extent differences in Medicare spending — by region or by provider, among other ways of looking at the data — represent fraud or wasteful spending in those regions or practices where Medicare tends to get bigger bills for similar patients. Given that hospitals and large medical practices enjoy strong political power in most states, it is unlikely that Congress will allow any drastic changes in Medicare's payment system to happen anytime soon. But the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that runs Medicare, is proposing a change that may nevertheless lead to changes in how much doctors and hospitals bill Medicare: making Medicare payment information open to the public.
CMS already releases some data on Medicare spending, such as average per-patient spending related to a hospital stay (including rehab and other follow-up care) by state and by individual hospital. Average spending per patient related to a hospital stay varies enormously between hospitals, from less than $10,000 at two hospitals in California and New Mexico to more than $30,000 at a hospital in Texas, as shown in a study released by Medicare earlier this year (the national median is just below $18,000). Major differences were not just seen in different states or regions, however. According to a Kaiser Health News article on the study, one community hospital in Los Angeles billed an average of almost $25,000 per patient, while at a major university research hospital across town, the average bill was only $17,628. Of course, the conditions that are being treated vary from one hospital to another, which is why Medicare did the best it could to control for the mix of cases that hospitals see, as well as factors unrelated to care that affect a hospital's reimbursement rates (for example, Medicare gives larger payments to hospitals whose employees earn higher wages).
But controlling for the mix of health conditions being treated, it turns out, may not be enough to accurately compare the bills that hospitals and other care providers rack up. Some researchers have long asserted that at some hospitals and in some regions of the country, doctors are more likely to aggressively diagnose health conditions in situations where they have the discretion to do so. For example, earlier this year, researchers at Dartmouth University found that in areas of the country with high per-patient Medicare spending, clear-cut conditions such as hip fractures were only slightly more common than the national average, while conditions that allow greater doctor discretion in diagnosis were seen at a rate far above the national average. As another Kaiser Health News study notes, however, this finding was disputed by another study from earlier this year, which found that Medicare spending on all health conditions, by region and by hospital, closely tracks spending on clear-cut conditions such as major head injuries, heart attacks, and amputations.
One reason, then, for CMS to release more detailed information on Medicare payments — down to the procedures billed by individual doctors — would be to give researchers more data to make comparisons between doctors, hospitals, and regions. While it's entirely possible — and even likely — that certain areas of the country are sicker than others (when it comes to Type 2 diabetes, this is undeniably true), it is also possible that the medical or corporate culture in certain regions or individual hospitals leads to more procedures being performed and billed to Medicare. A recent survey of doctors found them fairly split on the question of whether Medicare payment information should be made public: 42% supported the idea, while 46% opposed it; 12% weren't sure.
What do you think — would releasing detailed Medicare payment information violate doctors' privacy, or does the public's interest in taxpayer money being spent wisely override this concern? Would you be concerned if you found out that your doctor billed significantly more, or less, to Medicare than is typical? Do you think public scrutiny could push doctors who bill Medicare too freely to change the way they practice medicine? Could this public scrutiny be a bad thing or backfire? Leave a comment below!
I called Medicare one time about fraud going on in our clinic and they didn't care. They weren't interested in hearing about it. If something was done about fraud there would be more money available.
Posted by: Ferne | Sep 18, 2013 09:19 PM
Doctor's are running a business and should do so with integrity and ethics. If they overcharge the Medicare system, they ought to be held accountable. My basic concern about releasing Medicare payment information is that the patient privacy must be protected. No one, even the government, needs to know about a patient's health issues.
Posted by: Ron Stotyn | Sep 18, 2013 03:10 PM
Transparency is always a good way to communicate using tax payers funding. Personally I would not object to having any info about cost known to the public. I do wonder what the physicians and hospital Admin. may think about this more public information. Guess this is the point!

Growing doubts about feasibility of water project
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com July 11, 2014 7:52PM

Updated: August 14, 2014 6:38AM
Blue Island and Midlothian, two of the six remaining towns in the South Suburban Joint Area Water Agency, are not willing to spend more money on a project swirling with uncertainty, officials said.
Seven towns initially banded together to try to create their own Lake Michigan water system from Hammond, Indiana, freeing them from Chicago's rising water rates. Calumet Park has withdrawn, leaving Alsip, Blue Island, Markham, Harvey, Midlothian and Robbins.
At a critical time in the planning process, when $3 million more is needed for additional engineering work to move the estimated $300 million project forward, the Blue Island City Council voted unanimously at its July 8 meeting to explore the city's legal options.
"Do we withdraw? Do we stay and watch what money we have invested? Can we get a refund?" said city treasurer Carmine Bilotto, who has represented Blue Island on the agency's board for the past year. "It was a good concept, but it was handled wrong."
Midlothian officials will "wait and see" what happens at the upcoming agency meeting before they decide whether to pull out, said village Trustee Don Killelea, Midlothian's representative to the water agency board.
"Our (village) board has lost confidence in the whole process," Killelea said. "We are upset with recent developments."
He referred to growing concerns over the financial viability of Harvey, which is deeply in debt, struggling to meet its payroll and has been sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, there is a federal criminal investigation into the city's alleged misuse of bond money.
Harvey represents 40 percent of the agency's customers and sells water to Homewood, Flossmoor, Hazel Crest and East Hazel Crest. The city is about $23 million in arrears to Chicago's water department.
In its recent lawsuit, the SEC accuses Harvey's comptroller, Joseph Letke, of Frankfort, with financial fraud in representing the city. Letke was one of the water agency's financial consultants.
At the end of last year, the agency board terminated its contract, and now is in litigation, with its first engineering consultant, Brett Postl, and has hired Robinson Engineering to complete the task.
"The trust factor is going down the tubes. You want to be able to feel good about the advice you are getting because you are committing your town for 33 years," Killelea said.
Bilotto said he has asked for a financial feasibility study.
"I do not want to throw bad money after bad money," he said, adding that water agency members "tried to turn this ship around."
The board's attorney, Michael Stillman, said the uneasiness of officials in Blue Island and Midlothian is to be expected. The agency is working on its long-term goal of independence from Chicago's water system, he said, but "there is no answer yet."
"We took a chance (on the water project). It sounded good, and we do not regret it. We thought it would benefit Midlothian," Killelea said. "The X factor is, what is Chicago going to do? It will need to rejuvenate its infrastructure, too, and it will keep raising its water rates.
"But Chicago has the lowest rates in the nation, and its water delivery system is reliable. Why are we worried about it?"

I am from ohio, diabetic, high cholesterol, and really hoping this helps, it makes perfect sense... so giving it a good try
I am also diabetic, and after MD said it's time to start insulin, I attended a vegan health retreat. That was about 2 months ago. At the retrreat my numbers came down. But it's complicated. What diabetics have to eat and do is different from what PCRM's webcasts say. For instance, I need to stay away from the tropical fruits- mango, pineapple. I need to have my daily apple at the end of breakfast, so the beans I start the meal with slow the absorption of the apple sugar into the bloodstream. There's lot more, and since I've been back from the retreat (2 months now) it's been hard for me to keep it up. I'm still trying- that's why I just signed on for this. My main point is- it's not enough to just go vegan, or even to just eat low on the glycemic index. I wish PCRM had an MD trained to give meal planning advice specifically to diabetics. Oh- the other important factor at the retreat that is hard to keep up in real life, but is very important- is to walk 15 min after each meal. That helps keep the blood sugar from going too high. Good luck.

I will get the book, I really want this to work for me.
And, too, keep in mind that there's no "typical" diabetic. What is good for one is not good for all. Some folks can have oatmeal for breakfast, others spike way high with oatmeal for breakfast. Some folks can't have oatmeal for breakfast but it makes a great lunch or dinner. Generally speaking, higher fiber options are better than lower fiber options (which is basically whole foods vs. processed foods). But which specific foods are best for which individual can vary widely. Add in that a given item may be fine some times but not others for the SAME person and it gets even more fun For example, women's monthly hormonal changes will affect how blood glucose goes even when the food and activity levels are virtually identical day to day. Plus, over time, bodies change, so what was fine two years ago, or even sometimes two months ago, is trouble today (or maybe is really good today!)
Welcome! I hope this works for you too, it is such a healthy way to eat! Kudos to you for giving it a try.

What is a Trophy Whitetail Buck?
What is a Trophy Whitetail Buck
Ive been hunting whitetail deer for nearly 30 years now, and have been fortunate enough to watch the hunt industry evolve. As a whitetail deer outfitter for 13 years Ive seen all breeds of trophy hunters. Ive seen those that simply want to take a Pope and Young Buck scoring 125 inches or above and glad to do so. Ive also seen the whitetail deer hunter that is wanting to take a buck only over 170 inches in order to make the Boone and Crockett Record Books. Ive also seen the wide eyed youth whitetail hunter that just wanted to shoot a deer and was happy to kill any whitetail walking in the woods. So what constitutes a trophy whitetail buck?
Tell you a little story. Three years ago I had a camp of hunters on a Missouri Deer Hunt. Two of the hunters went out on day 1 of their hunt and both harvested trophy whitetail bucks. One of the whitetail bucks scored 162 while the other buck his buddy harvested scored 157. Both of these animals were outstanding by my thinking, however when all the whitetail hunters met at the skinning shed at dark, the two hunters mentioned above literally kicked the carcasses of their trophy bucks and began literally cussing about the fact they did not score over 170 inches so that they could be entered into Boone and Crockett Record Books. I was thoroughly ashamed of the two men. I took them aside and told them that both the bucks they harvested were great specimens of the species and that many a whitetail deer hunter would give just about anything to harvest the two whitetail bucks they had taken. In return they continued to cuss and were mad. The next day these same two hunters wanted to rebook a whitetail hunt with us for the following year. I declined and decided not to accept their business for the following year. I just couldnt stand the thought of them returning to camp the following year and acting the same way.
Wanna hear another one? Two years ago in Pike County, Illinois I had three hunters that had paid $15,000 a piece to hunt all 5 states with us on what we call an annual pass as we sell deer hunts in Illinois, deer hunts in Iowa, deer hunts in Kansas, deer hunts in Missouri, and deer hunts in Nebraska. Anyway these three gentlemen all paid $15,000 a piece so that they could access all our states on an unlimited basis. The first hunt they went on was out of our 4 Starr Lodge in Pike County, Illinois. After one morning of hunting the three whitetail hunters ask if they could speak to me after they had gotten out of the woods on their morning hunt. Since nothing had gone wrong with their hunt and it was their first morning out in the woods with us I couldnt figure out what they wanted to talk about. In closed quarters the leader of the three whitetail deer hunters literally stated, We didnt see any deer this morning scoring over 170 inches. (Boone and Crockett) I was shocked but calmly replied, This is just the first morning of your hunt. Pike County Illinois has a lot of Boone and Crockett whitetail deer, but their isnt a Booner (170 inches or better) behind every tree and you wont see one every time you go out to hunt everyday. This is the first morning youve hunted with us. Please be patient and give it some time, weve got the whole season ahead of us. Ill get you on some big whitetail deer. They replied, Well thats all we had to hear. Keep our money we are going home to Texas to hunt our high fence. While it was the easiest $45,000 Ive ever made, it is also a perfect example of how high the standards have been painted by Outdoor Television and hard copy publication. It was obvious to me these guys had been watching too much Outdoor Television.
So what constitutes a trophy whitetail buck? There are 4 well recognized clubs that offer entrance of National Record Book Whitetail Deer. They include Pope and Young Record Book Club, Boone and Crockett Record Book Club, Safari Club International, and Buckmasters, however I will elaborate further after you see what the National Record Books require as a minimum standard of net inches scored.
Pope and Young Record Book Club
The Pope and Young Club is a non-profit, charitable, membership-based organization whose mission is to ensure bowhunting existence for future generations by promoting and protecting our rich bowhunting heritage and values.
From its beginnings, the Pope and Young Club established, defined and maintains an ethical code of hunting referred to as FAIR CHASE. The concept of fair chase bowhunting is the very core of the Clubs belief system and one of our major advocacy focuses.
The fair chase philosophy reaches to the very foundations of the hunting spirit; it should be a dominant factor in the personal hunting ethic of every responsible individual; it is key to bowhuntings future with deep roots in Americas hunting heritage. Simply defined, fair chase is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit of free-ranging wild game animals in a manner which does not give the hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the animal.
The Rules of Fair Chase
The term Fair Chase shall not include the taking of animals under the following conditions:
Helpless in a trap, deep snow or water, or on ice.
From any power vehicle or power boat.
By jacklighting or shining at night.
By the use of any tranquilizers or poisons.
While inside escape-proof fenced enclosures.
By the use of any power vehicle or power boats for herding or driving animals, including use of aircraft to land alongside or to communicate with or direct a hunter on the ground.
By the use of electronic devices for attracting, locating or pursuing game or guiding the hunter to such game, or by the use of a bow or arrow to which any electronic device is attached.
Any other condition considered by the Board of Directors as unacceptable.
The fair chase concept does, however, extend beyond the hunt itself; it is an attitude and a way of life based in a deep-seated respect for wildlife, for the environment, and for other individuals who share the bounty of this vast continents natural resources
Minimum Standard for Pope and Young Record Book Typical Whitetail Buck 125 inches
Minimum Standard for Pope and Young Record Book Non Typical Whitetail Buck 155 inches
Boone and Crockett Record Book Club
The Club has long been recognized for its conservation and ethics leadership. The Clubs Fair Chase statement was the cornerstone of the establishment of hunting seasons, bag limits, and the abolishment of market hunting practices at the turn of the century. This legacy will continue through activities and accomplishments in hunter ethics, and ethics for other outdoor users; ethics emphasizing shared use of natural resources to protect multiple options for use and enjoyment, and especially to protect and preserve wildlife populations, public and private land habitats, and associated outdoor recreation experiences.
Recreational hunting is under attack as never before. A principle target is the image of the unethical hunter, a person without respect for wildlife, land, or other wildlife users. In response, a major Club intent under the Fair Chase Code is to advocate an ethic of respect in all hunters for wildlife, land, and other users of wildlife.
FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.
Fundamental to all hunting is the concept of conservation of natural resources. Hunting in today's world involves the regulated harvest of individual animals in a manner that conserves, protects, and perpetuates the hunted population. The hunter engages in a one-to-one relationship with the quarry and his or her hunting should be guided by a hierarchy of ethics related to hunting, which includes the following tenets:
1. Obey all applicable laws and regulations.
2. Respect the customs of the locale where the hunting occurs.
3. Exercise a personal code of behavior that reflects favorably on your abilities and sensibilities as a hunter.
4. Attain and maintain the skills necessary to make the kill as certain and quick as possible.
5. Behave in a way that will bring no dishonor to either the hunter, the hunted, or the environment.
6. Recognize that these tenets are intended to enhance the hunter's experience of the relationship between predator and prey, which is one of the most fundamental relationships of humans and their environment.
Minimum Standard for Boone and Crockett Record Book Typical Whitetail Buck 170 inches
Minimum Standard for Boone and Crockett Book Record Book Non Typical Whitetail Buck 190 inches
Safari Club International Club
Since inception, Safari Club International (SCI) has become a truly amazing organization. Our approximately 190 chapters provide us with a way to make and gather with friends, our Convention is a place to celebrate and enjoy our hunting heritage, and our Foundation is recognized as a world leader in wildlife conservation and education programs.
A quick look at our financial reports to the US Internal Revenue Service reveals that SCI spent nearly $300 million on hunter advocacy and wildlife conservation since inception (actual value is $278,186,963 from 1979 to 2008). The growth of the organization in both hunter advocacy and conservation led to a strategic decision to separate the two efforts into separate businesses in 1999: Safari Club International, a 501( c )4 hunter advocacy organization, and Safari Club International Foundation, a 501( c )3 charitable organization.
The SCI Record Book of Trophy Animals uses SCIs unique all-inclusive record keeping system, the most used system in the world, to document our hunting heritage. The scoring system recognizes typical and non typical animals and both free range and estate taken animals.
NO deductions are enforced penalizing animals for asymmetry in the SCI scoring system.
Minimum Standard for SCI Record Book Typical Whitetail Buck 115 inches
Minimum Standard for SCI Record Book Non Typical Whitetail Buck 125 inches
Buckmasters Scoring System
Founded by Jackie Bushman, of Buckmasters fame in 1994, The Buckmasters BTR Full-Credit Scoring System's mandate is to "record what nature produced, without making any assessment of its aesthetic value to the human eye."
The BTR is acknowledging a deer's antlers without deduction, their Full-Credit Scoring System measures and records whitetail deer antlers without forcing them to "conform to an ideal of perfect symmetry." To the sheer joy of many hunters, this method acknowledges a whitetail rack for everything it is. Where B & C incorporates deductions for abnormalities and lack of symmetry, the BTR does not. It simply measures every inch of antler and classifies it accordingly.
A number of important features make the BTR system unique from the other. First, it does not deduct differences between lengths of opposing typical points. Second, it does not include the inside-spread measurement, because it is a measurement of air, not antler. Equally unique is the eligibility of antlers with a broken skull plate. The fact that they are severed is a non-issue as the inside spread between the main beams is not added into the rack's score.
Instead of simply using the two categories of typical and non-typical, the BTR incorporates four scoring categories.
Another unique feature is the provision of categories for all types of firearms including centerfire rifles, shotguns, handguns, and blackpowder guns. The archery category acknowledges all compounds, recurves, and longbows, with a separate category for crossbows. The "Pick-Up" category is for antlers found rather than harvested by a hunter. The minimum score for this category is 140 inches. There is even a category for antlers still in velvet. Minimum score for a shed antler is 75 inches.
The biggest attraction for most whitetail fanatics, is the opportunity to record their trophies with an unbiased, record-keeping agency in acknowledgement of the natural genetic diversity among whitetailed deer across the continent.
Buckmasters Minimum Requirement for Record Book Whitetail Bucks with gun is 140 inches.
Buckmasters Minimum Requirement for Record Book Whitetail Bucks with bow is 105 inches.
So What is a Record Book Whitetail Buck?
While we have reviewed the 4 major scoring systems for record book whitetail deer, on what premise does the whitetail hunter base what a trophy buck really is? I have my own opinion. As a whitetail deer outfitter my camps base minimum requirements based upon the Pope and Young Record Book Club and the Boone and Crockett Record Book Club. This is not to diminish the programs set forth by other scoring systems.
However, the problem I see in the hunting industry is that with the introduction of Outdoor Television and the focus on big buck profiles todays whitetail hunter sometimes has expectations that can be unrealistic. Just days ago I was watching an Outdoor Television show. Prior to the kill shot on the deer the hunt celebrity harvested the buck had a numbered tag in its ear. This told me the buck was in a high fence and possibly near domesticated. When the deer was shown after the harvest the deer had the tag removed. Only the quick eye would have caught such a trick. Also many of todays hunt celebrities are hunting high fence deer and presenting them as deer killed in the wild or in free range environments.
Four years ago a MAJOR hunt celebrity ask if he could film a series on IMB Outfitters and since we are located in 5 midwestern states he suggested he could kill up to 7 record book whitetail deer. He indicated he would make an entire DVD on IMB Outfitters and promote IMB Outfitters to the brink of fame. Then he told me to come down to his ranch and we would shoot all 7 record book bucks in his 20 acre holding area. I ask him if this was legal. He said, Sure as long as we use high fence ranch tags on the whitetail bucks. I then told him I was a Christian and couldnt get on National Television and lie to millions of hunters. I will never forget what he replied. He stated, Boy, this aint the hunt industry. This is the entertainment industry. I declined his offer. Point is, a lot of what we are seeing on television isnt real fair chase conditions. Thus the result is many whitetail deer hunters believe harvesting a record book buck is much easier than it is.
I have taken 15 Pope and Young Whitetail Bucks in my hunt career. Some score as low as 126 inches while others score in excess of 162 inches. Each of these whitetail deer I have harvested have a story and each mean something to me personally. In fact my biggest buck isnt the one I treasure the most.
In fact when I took the 126 inch whitetail deer that made the Pope and Young Record Books by a mere 1 inch I was happy but disappointed as well. Crazy huh? The truth is a trophy buck is in essence whatever the whitetail hunter believes in his heart to be a trophy. For a youth hunter a doe might be a trophy. For the novice whitetail deer hunter a forkhorn might be a trophy. For the hunter that hasnt been in the presence of a 125 inch Pope and Young Deer, it may take only a 125 inch deer to be a trophy. For the guy that thinks a whitetail buck must score 170 inches or better to be worthy of harvest then so be it.
With all that said, I would emphasize that unless youre a youth hunter or a novice hunter that a Quality Deer Management Program needs to be implemented wherein a minimum of 125 inches is employed so your herd continues to evolve into larger and larger whitetails. But always remember that some bucks can be trophies without meeting the minimum requirements of any of the aforementioned clubs. We need to be whitetail deer hunting because there is something near and dear to our hearts as outdoorsmen and that whitetail deer hunting is not about just harvesting Boone and Crockett Bucks. Relax and enjoy yourself or your going drive yourself crazy.

Commencement Speaker
College Law School is pleased to announce that Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice
for the United States Supreme Court, will be the Law Schools Commencement
Speaker for 2003. Commencement ceremonies will take place on Friday, May 23rd,
on the Law School campus in Newton, Massachusetts.
"We are honored to have Justice Breyer address the graduates this year," said BC Law Dean John H. Garvey. "He is one of the most important figures in contemporary American law -- a man of extraordinary intellect, great integrity, and a lifelong commitment to serving the public interest. I am happy for the members of the class of 2003 that he will be joining them at this important point in their careers."
Stephen Breyer has served as Associate Justice for the United States Supreme Court since 1994, when he was nominated for the position by President Clinton. Throughout his career, Justice Breyer has been praised for his skill at building consensus. As a member of the court, he believed achieving a unified opinion was more important than outlining his own opinions in detail.
Justice Breyer was born in San Francisco on August 15, 1938. He is a graduate of Stanford University, Oxford University (Magdalen College), and Harvard Law School. During the United States Supreme Court's 1964 Term he was law clerk to Justice Arthur J. Goldberg. In 196567 he worked as Special Assistant to the head of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. From 1967 through 1980 he taught at Harvard University, as Professor of Law and at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He also worked as an Assistant Watergate Special Prosecutor (1973), as a Special Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee (1975), and as the Judiciary Committee's Chief Counsel (197980).
As a Special Counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Justice Breyer developed a complicated economic plan used to deregulate the airline industry. His hard work impressed Senate Republicans, who supported his confirmation to a seat on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1980. He became the Circuit's Chief Judge in 1990. He has also served as a Member of the Judicial Conference of the United States and of the United States Sentencing Commission. He has written books and articles in the field of administrative law and government regulation.
Justice Breyer married Joanna Hare in 1967. They have three children, Chloe, Nell and Michael.

With the start of the new year in 2002, the 12 members of the European Union launched a single currency across their borders, replacing individual country currencies and singling out the Euro as their one shared monetary denomination. Marketplace, a daily economics news program heard on National Public Radio, featured a story on January 2, 2002 about the currency change of the landmark event. (This lesson should be used as an introduction to this topic. There is another Economics Minute The Euro Makes its Debut that would be a good follow-up to this lesson.)
The students investigate money--its purpose and functions. They complete an exercise, using the online acution site Ebay, to learn why money is critical to an economy.
The seasonally adjusted rate of change in the consumer price index during the month of February 2002 was 0.2 percent or an increase of two-tenths of one percent. The rate of increase in the consumer price index over the past twelve months was 1.1 percent. In February, the core consumer price index, which excludes energy and food prices, increased by 0.3 percent.
