Marquette looked to bounce back from two straight losses against IUPUI. They did just that, with a blow out win 86-50. Marquette came out firing on all cylinders going on a 18-2 run to start the game. They hit their first 4 threes including 3 from Juan Anderson. Marquette shot 64.9% for the game, their best since 2002. This was arguably the best offensive game of the year for them. The ball was never stationary, they were able to penetrate the zone, and knocked down the open shots. They had 28 assists on 37 made baskets. There were a lot of positives to come out of this win today. Here's a few that stuck out to me.
Jamil Wilson: I think this was one of his best games of the season so far. He was terrific from start to finish. He was 7 for 10 from the field, hauled in 7 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists. This is what Marquette needs game in and game out from their best player. Jamil needs to be the leader of this team from the beginning of the game to the end and today he showed what he is capable of doing.
Juan Anderson: Juan after the game described himself of wanting to be the glue of the team. He was just that today. He made his first three shots from beyond the arc, finished up with 11 points. He also grabbed 4 rebounds, had 5 assists and a team high 5 steals. If Juan is able to knock down his shot consistently that will help open up the offense more and force defenses to stop sagging in the post. Anderson's play is encouraging for an offense that has been lacking shooters.
The Freshman: Deonte Burton and Jajuan Johnson combined for 20 points and were a combined 10 for 15 from the field. Deonte Burton had a emphatic dunk in the second half that showcased the ability he possesses. Johnson has shown the ability to put the ball on the floor and create shots for himself and he showed his ability to hit the open guy in the passing lanes. These two freshman have provided a huge spark off the bench. Watching the growth of Burton and his ability to get the rim gives a lot of optimism for the impact he can make come the conference season.
Marquette had five players score in double digits, and five players had at least three assists. Buzz has continued to talk about the right to earn shots, and their unselfish play today with getting the ball inside and finding the open shot. Marquette earned the right today and it showed in the score. Next up for Marquette is Ball State on Tuesday night.

In March, 2011, NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, released State Mental Health Cuts: A National Crisis, a report documenting deep cuts to state spending on services for children and adults living with serious mental illness.1 These cuts, which occurred between 2009 and 2011, led to significant reductions in both hospital and community services for vulnerable individuals with serious mental illness.
Today, with demand for public mental health services extremely high, especially at a time of severe economic distress, the crisis in mental health care continues.2 The impacts are felt throughout society as people go without the treatment they need.
Increasingly, emergency rooms, homeless shelters and jails are struggling with the effects of people falling through the cracks due to lack of needed mental health services and supports.
Modest increases in state general fund mental health spending fail to compensate for the loss in federal Medicaid revenues that hit states due to reductions in federal Medicaid rates implemented at the end of June 2011. Moreover, to make up for these lost federal Medicaid revenues, states such as Arizona and Ohio have shifted state general fund mental health dollars to Medicaid recipients, leaving many non-Medicaid recipients with serious mental illness without services.
The data in this report is limited to general fund appropriations for state mental health agencies (SMHAs). It does not include mental health funds that are under the control of other state agencies such as state Medicaid agencies, housing authorities, or child and family authorities. Further, state hospital or ward closures and personnel cuts may be in other departmental or agency budgets. Were all cuts affecting mental health services factored in, the sum of the total cuts would be significantly higher.

Kent Displays Names Dr. Asad Khan Chief Technical Officer
KENT, OH– Kent Displays announced this week the naming of Dr. Asad Khan as Chief Technical Officer (CTO). Dr. Khan replaces Dr. J. William Doane, a pioneer in reflective LCD technology and Director Emeritus of the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University. Dr. Doane has moved to the role of Senior Advisor and will remain on Kent Displays' Executive Committee.
Dr. Khan joined Kent Displays in 1995 as a Research Engineer. He has since held roles of increasing responsibility, most recently as the Vice President of Technology and as a member of the Executive Committee. He has published over 60 papers in U.S. and international journals and possesses over 15 U.S. and international patents (with several applications pending).
In his new role, Dr. Khan has primary responsibility for further development of Reflex(TM) No Power LCD technology, the foundation for which was built by Dr. Doane as cofounder of Kent Displays. Focus activities include authoring the development framework for Reflex technology to meet the overall company strategic plan, directing a growing internal team of scientists in the implementation of the framework, and playing the lead role in managing various strategic relationships with suppliers and joint development partners.
Kent Displays' CEO Dr. Albert Green stated, "We have been exceptionally fortunate to have the services of two internationally-recognized LCD industry leaders in the CTO role, Dr. Doane and now Dr. Khan. As one of Kent Displays' longest-tenured employees, Dr. Khan offers keen insight into the company's history and vast experience in the display industry. This knowledge, combined with an extensive technical background, makes him the ideal individual to lead the development of Reflex technology for new and unique applications such as smart cards, electronic skins and writing tablets. We have great confidence in his ability to provide the necessary direction to take Reflex technology into these new frontiers and many others."
Mosque opposed in Town of Niagara
TOWN OF NIAGARA, NY–The Islamic Cultural Center of Niagar Falls has sought permission from the town to construct a new mosque. The group wants to convert the old Credit Union building in order to meet the needs of the area's growing Muslim population.
Earlier requests were already denied by the Planning Board. They have now been placed before the Town's Board.
Town of Niagara allows places of worship only in residential zones and only with a special use permit. The property also would need a zoning variance because it does not have the proper amount of road frontage required.
A public hearing would need to be held prior to the property's rezoning. However, town officials delayed scheduling one until the other concerns are addressed and worked out.
Walmart rehires Muslim employee
ST.PAUL, MN–A Muslim employee at Walmart fired for praying in the workplace premises has now been re-hired.
Abdi Abdi was fired in February from the Wal-Mart in Woodbury where he worked as a stocker and loader. The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations says a new supervisor fired him after instituting a ban on prayers during work breaks, even though a previous supervisor allowed him to do so.
The St. Paul-based Islamic rights group says Abdi was rehired at a St. Paul store that's closer to his home. The group says he will be allowed to pray during breaks.
A spokeswoman for the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer tells the Star Tribune that the company is "glad everyone came together to resolve the issue on a positive note."
Madison mosque public hearing postponed to August 3
MADISON, MS– A public hearing on the construction of a mosque has been rescheduled for August 3rd in Madison, Mississipi. Roger Williams, an attorney representing the Mississippi Muslim Association in Jackson, asked the Madison County board of supervisors for a continuance of the hearing on June 7, saying the group needs more time to lay out plans for a sewer system for the property on U.S. 51.
"We thought we had reached an understanding with the city of Madison to provide sewer service to the property, because we thought it was located in the city's certificated area," he said.
"But last Thursday, we learned that the property was not in the city's certificated area." As defined by the Mississippi Public Service Commission, a certificated area is an area where the certificate holder cannot legally deny water and sewer service.
Now Williams said the group plans to install a private sewer system akin to a septic tank. "We felt it would be inappropriate to go to the board without all the information."
Muslim charter school sues Minnesota
ST. PAUL, MN–The Tarek Bin Ziyad Academy has sued the state of Minnesota for unfairly fining it $1.4 million. In its recent complaint in Ramsey County Court, the Academy claims the Minnesota Department of Education fined it for violating teacher licensure law, but refused to provide enough documentation for the school to appeal. It claims the state made "a purposeful and calculated resistance" in withholding the files.
The academy was sued earlier this year by the ACLU which claimed which claimed the school was sponsored by Islamic Relief USA and was unconstitutionally receiving taxpayers' money.
The ACLU claimed TIZA permitted and promoted Islamic prayer and rituals in school, in violation of Minnesota Charter School Law.
In June, TIZA appealed the Minnesota Department of Education's "final determination letter regarding certain allegations of teacher licensure law violations," which led to the $1.4 million fine.

The U16 Girls and the U18 Girls won State Cup titles this weekend at Cownie Soccer Complex in Des Moines and have earned the opportunity to represent the state of Iowa at the Regional Championship tournament next June, which will be played here in Des Moines.
The U16 girls' road to the State Cup championship included a semi-final win against CRSA/ISC (3-1) after having a bye in the first round based on last year's results. The final game was played Saturday, October 27th against WDMSC and ended in regulation 1-1 before Rush scored 2 goals in the first overtime period to go up 3-1 and win the title. This was the team's first State Cup Championship and a well-deserved one, they are pictured below with coach Paul Fabry!
The U18 girls started off their State Cup championship run with a convincing first round win against Dubuque (7-0), followed by a 3-0 victory over the #2 seeded JUSC/WDMSC team. The final brought the Rush up against the #1 seeded CRSA/ISC and after a scoreless first-half, Rush was able to score 2 goals late in the second half to seal the win and the State Cup Championship. A few of these players won a State Cup title in 2011 as u17s, many of the others won in 2010 when they were u14s and have represented the State at Regionals before, but they are very deserving of the opportunity to do so again! The U18 championship team is pictured below.
The environment at the games this weekend was great- with a lot of support from club members, both players and parents- who showed up to watch the State Cup teams compete. Iowa Rush will have another opportunity to support these teams in June 2013 when the Regional tournament is held in Des Moines and hosted by the Iowa Soccer Association at Cownie Soccer Complex.
Once again, CONGRATULATIONS to the U16 and U18 players for their State Cup Championships!

Judge Cynthia Brim found not guilty by reason of insanity
BY LISA DONOVAN AND DAN ROZEK Staff Reporters February 4, 2013 7:28AM
Judge Cynthia Brim (R), her attorney and mother, walking to the Cook County Circuit Court. Friday, April 13, 2012. | Brian Jackson~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: March 6, 2013 6:11AM
After figuring out that she had gotten on the wrong South Side bus last March 9, Cook County Judge Cynthia Brim got off somewhere on 47th Street and "marched for justice towards downtown."
It was one in a bizarre series of events in a day that ended with her arrest on battery charges after allegedly shoving a sheriff's deputy outside the Daley Center court complex. That story was told in the testimony that Judge Liam Brennan heard at Brim's trial Monday at the Daley Center. He decided that Brim — who has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type — was not guilty by reason of insanity.
At one point during closing arguments, Assistant State's attorney Maria Burnett argued that the officer was battered and that Brim knew what she was doing. Brennan interjected: "The court is completely convinced the battery occurred."
But Brennan couldn't ignore the weighty mony of a forensic psychiatrist who determined that Brim was "legally insane" at the time of the incident — not to mention her history of mental illness that had required hospitalization — along with the arrest reports of sheriff's deputies, who described her as "irrational" and "catatonic" that day. In the simplest terms, Brennan believed the defense's argument that as a result of her mental illness, she didn't know she was committing a criminal act.
Now Brim will undergo an Illinois Department of Human Services evaluation to help the judge determine whether to order mental health treatment, which could include a stay at one of the state psychiatric hospitals in Elgin or Chester.
Brim, 54, didn't talk with reporters after the verdict, but her attorney, James D. Montgomery Sr., said she was eager to get back to work. She was put on indefinite suspension by a panel of Cook County supervising judges in the days after her arrest, though she continues to collect a $182,000-a-year paycheck.
During the one-day trial Monday, Brim's struggles with mental health problems — tied to going off her medication — were laid bare. Since 1993, the year before she was elected to the bench, Brim has been hospitalized five times for psychotic episodes. In one case, she was carried out of a courtroom on a stretcher, testified Dr. Mathew Markos, a psychiatrist who heads the Cook County court system's forensic clinical services. Details about that incident weren't available.
In the weeks after Brim's arrest, she stayed first at Northwestern Hospital and then at Hartgrove psychiatric hospital on the West Side. In June, court order in hand, Markos testified, he evaluated her to see if she was fit to stand trial. While he determined she was, he said it was his opinion that she was "legally insane" at the time of the incident.
During that exam, Brim shared with him a chaotic March 9 that began with her reading a story online that criticized a friend and fellow judge, Markos told the court.
She decided she would complain to the state's Judicial Inquiry Board about the article — even though it has no authority over the media — and set off for its offices downtown. Suddenly realizing she was traveling on the wrong bus, Brim hopped off somewhere on 47th, and in a one-woman protest, "marched for justice, towards downtown," Markos said.
A confusing sequence of events played out with Brim deciding she wanted to stop at several locations downtown: her attorney's office, the Thompson Center, even a television station to complain about the news article, but she either scuttled those plans or was turned away by a locked door, according to Markos and other testimony offered Monday. Twice she stopped off at the Daley Center — once making her way to the seventh floor before returning to the lobby.
On the first visit, around 4:45 p.m., Brim caught the eye of Sheriff's Deputy Nicholas Leone, who testified that she was wearing hospital scrubs along with a fur coat and hat.
"She just seemed out of place — she didn't look like she had a purpose," he said, noting he didn't realize she was a judge until later. Brim had been assigned to the suburban Markham courthouse at the time of the alleged incident downtown.
Around 5 p.m., Brim returned to the courthouse — this time throwing what turned out to be a set of building keys that "only deputies and judges should have access to," said Leone, who was growing concerned.
Sheriff's Deputy Herbert Edwards testified that at that point he followed Brim outside, repeatedly asking her to stop and return to the Daley Center to discuss the keys. She was silent the entire time as she walked toward Dearborn and Randolph. Then Edwards stood in front of her, and "she raises her hands . . . and pushed me in the chest area," he testified.
Several other deputies arrived, handcuffed her and took her to lockup. Sheriff's Deputy Deb Salzman testified that he filled out an assessment about the still-silent Brim, checking "yes" on the form where it asked whether the arrestee was "despondent" or "irrational." Cook County Judge Pamela Hill-Veal — identified as Brim's cousin — also was summoned to the lockup to help with the court paperwork, according to court testimony.
In deciding the case, Brennan — a DuPage County judge summoned to preside at the trial after two Cook County judges recused themselves — briefly addressed the elephant in the room before delivering the verdict: Brim's future on the bench.
"This case is not about the wisdom of this person serving as a judge," Brennan told the court before handing down his verdict.
A former chairman of the agency charged with investigating judicial complaints said he couldn't recall an instance in which questions were raised about a judge's sanity.
"In Illinois, the suggestion a judge suffered a mental disability such that it impaired their performance, that's a rare, if not unique, circumstance," said Bob Cummins, who chaired the Judicial Inquiry Board between 1979 and 1987.
But he said the board clearly has the right to investigate a judge if there is a complaint she is "physically or mentally unable to perform her duties."
Even with an insanity finding by a court, Brim can't be removed from office unless a complaint is filed by the Judicial Inquiry Board and a hearing before the Illinois Courts Commission determines that the complaint is justified, an Illinois Supreme Court spokesman said.
"That's a constitutional requirement," Supreme Court spokesman Joseph Tybor said.
There is a pending Judicial Inquiry Board investigation involving Brim, according to her attorney, Montgomery. That inquiry stems from March 9, when she went to an attorney's office in Montgomery's building and refused to leave.

BELLE GLADE, Fla. — At the height of supplies, Florida sweet corn growers are bringing large shipments but are experiencing lackluster demand.
Demand in late April was low as packinghouses handle high volumes suitable for promotions during Florida's peak of the season.
"Demand is bad because of weather on the receiving end and this is as bad as I've ever seen," said Randy Wilkinson, president of Wilkinson-Cooper Produce Inc. "We are selling 40% of what we normally sell this time of the year. Trucks are tight and rates are high. People just aren't buying."
Unfavorable spring weather in the Northeast is depressing corn sales and Florida packinghouses plan to fill demand until a tardy Georgia deal starts.
Grower-shippers say retailers should expect promotable supplies from south Florida until the deal transitions to Georgia in late May.
"I have never seen a deal that's been this sluggish going into the bulk of our corn crop," Jon Browder, sales manager for Pioneer Growers Co-op, said in late April. "The Sunshine Sweet brand promotions during the first two weeks of the season didn't have as big an impact as the ones during the next two weeks when we should be a lot busier."
In late April, grower-shippers quoted $9.45-9.95 for wirebound crates of 4-4 1/2 dozen yellow, white and bicolor corn with contracted product marketing for $9.45.
During the same time last year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported those same varieties from south Florida fetching $9.45-9.95.
Though Georgia volume isn't expected to begin until early June, Browder and others say the transition from south Florida to Georgia should go smoothly.
Florida packers typically finish around Memorial Day and relocate operations to Georgia which usually begins harvesting in mid- to late May.
Brett Bergmann, co-owner of Hugh H. Branch Inc., South Bay, said buyers should expect strong volume through after Memorial Day.
"We have an excellent crop of sweet corn," he said in late April. "Promotions are set and retailers can expect plenty of volume."
Grower-shippers characterize the crop as high quality.
"We have very good quality, average yields and steady prices," said Ted Wanless, chief operating officer of S. M. Jones & Co. Inc. "We have good demand in the Sunshine State but winter's hanging on in the Northeast. Promotions should be good for Memorial day."
Buyers should expect high quality throughout the deal, said Bryan Biederman, partner with Scotlynn Sweet Pac Growers LLC.
"All our corn is fresh and fancy grade and loaded onto trucks every day," he said in late April.

US Congress clears SuperCobra helicopter sale to Turkey
15 November 2011, Tuesday / TODAYSZAMAN.COM,
Congress approved the sale of three AH-1 SuperCobra attack helicopters to
Turkey on Monday.
The Obama administration formally notified US Congress on Oct. 28 of an
unusual proposal to sell three AH-1 Super Cobra twin-engine attack
helicopters to Turkey from the US Marine Corps inventory. According to US
law, the administration needs to notify Congress of the sale of arms to
other countries and seek authorization. If the proposed sale is to a
NATO-member country, Congress has 15 days to reject the sale or it will be
automatically authorized.
Turkey has a long-standing request for SuperCobra helicopters. It has a
shortage of such aircraft, which it has been using in its ongoing fight
against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The PKK has recently
increased violent attacks.
The process of securing Congressional approval for the sale of the
$111-million helicopters to Turkey was successfully completed as no motion
to block the sale was brought to the agenda in Congress. The attack
helicopters are to be delivered in a couple months after a technical

The hunter was a novice. Just 16 and feeling his oats. He had a spring in his step because this was his first deer hunt. And his first hike away from the pheasant cornfields of home. He was in the big woods, the snowy pinelands of the famous Black Hills of Dakota country where 90 years earlier Custer had shot a grizzly. There were no grizzlies now, but whitetails. And he had the rifle to handle them.
It was a brand new Winchester Model 94® chambered for the famous .30-30 Winchester, the cartridge that had reportedly put more venison on Americans' tables than any other in history. He sighted-in while laying over a hay bale and was shocked at the violence when he squeezed the trigger. Veteran big game hunters would have laughed at him, so he didn't let on that he felt a little afraid of the gun, even though it didn't kick as much as his 12-gauge pheasant gun. The noise of it going off probably scared him more than the recoil.
But the rifle fit him, came up as naturally as a baseball bat to his shoulder. He'd been shooting running jackrabbits for three seasons with a .22 rimfire. He was ready to graduate to big game and more than eager.
He didn't have to wait long. Midmorning of the first day, walking at the end of a long line of drivers, the boy heard shooting crescendo down the line. And then a whitetail leaped over the snowy hill to his left, racing for all it was worth. It dwarfed his jackrabbits back home, but he knew this game. Almost by instinct the rifle came up, the front bead settled in the rear notch and swung ahead of the streaking deer. The boy forgot all about loud shots and recoil, pulled the trigger smoothly and the deer slid in the snow as if unplugged, stone dead.
He stared, somewhat in shock at how quickly it had all happened, how large an animal he'd just shot. This was no jackrabbit. And then he looked at the rifle in his hand. It was no .22. The boy had become a deer hunter with the awesome responsibility of new-found power.
You don't have to ask a hunter the point of power. He knows darn well he needs it to reach his game and deliver a killing blow. If power weren't critical to success, he wouldn't fool with an expensive rifle-he'd just throw a rock.
Come to think of it, we did once throw rocks. First with our hands, then with slings. Spears became technologically superior versions of tossed rocks, adding a cutting edge to the process. Then came the power stored in a bent bow of wood. And then, whoo hoo, blackpowder! Spectacular power was released from the chemical reaction when sulphur, salt peter and charcoal oxidized. Around 1890 the evolution to smokeless nitrocellulose powder put the finishing touch on power, and modern riflery was born.
Missing from this power history is one critical component. The modern bullet. Rocks, spears and arrow tips just didn't mix well with gunpowder, so we set about to refine the rock. Granite, quartz, flint and schists would no longer suffice. Lead became the projectile of choice, and worked well until smokeless powder pushed velocities above 2,000 fps. This was too fast for accuracy, too much power for soft lead to handle. The steel barrels stripped too much of the hot, soft lead. It was time for a new bullet.
The bullet is the heart of a rifle's effectiveness. It does all the work. It is the only piece of a hunter's gear to actually touch the intended target. It must fly accurately to the target, deliver a wallop when it arrives and penetrate deeply to damage vital tissues. To accomplish that, it must manage the power, the tremendous kinetic energy given it by the expanding gases of the ignited gunpowder. With the wrong bullet, power can corrupt and too much power can corrupt absolutely.
A 500-grain bullet from a .458 Winchester Magnum at 2,010 fps muzzle velocity is carrying 4,485 foot-pounds of energy, more than enough to instantly terminate the world's largest land mammal. But even a little 100-grain Power-Point bullet from a .243 Winchester at 2,960 fps hauls 1,945 foot-pounds of oomph. Technically, that's enough potential energy to lift 1,945 pounds of mass a foot off the ground. Concentrating that much power in a bullet that's only 1?4-inch wide and weighs just 100 grains demands a lot of it.
While carrying this massive energy at those amazing speeds (that 100-grain .243 bullet, by the way, will cross 1,000 yards, just over a half mile, in 1.77 seconds) a bullet may be spinning on its axis more than 300,000 revolutions per minute. That's enough to spin some bullets apart, like spinning cake mix off a spatula. So bullet material or construction must be tough enough to withstand the friction of the barrel and the centrifugal forces of spin. But, when it arrives on target the real work begins.
A hunting projectile has to penetrate hair, resilient hide, tough muscles, bones and then waterlogged vital organs such as lungs and heart. Ideally it should remain in one-piece and expand 1.5 to 2.5 times its original diameter. This expansion increases surface area, which means the bullet damages more vital tissue, and that's what ensures a clean harvest. If it strikes with enough energy near the central nervous system, it can kill instantly.
Achieving all of this over the wide range of today's bullet sizes and launch velocities, not to mention low residual velocities extremely far downrange, is a monumental task, and Winchester's Power-Point bullets have been managing that task for more than a half century. They were the .30-30 bullet the boy at the start of this article used to slay his first whitetail. They helped him take many more over the years, and he still uses them in .30-06 Springfield, .270 Winchester, 7mm Rem. Mag. and .243 Winchester. Because they work.
The Power-Point bullet arose when Winchester engineers were tasked with creating a new projectile for a variety of hunting cartridges fired at the wide diversity of North America's game animals, the bulk of them being whitetails. According to Winchester Centerfire Product Manager Mike Stock, the Power-Point bullet's main task was to provide more rapid energy transfer than did the famous Silvertip of the era.
"Our engineers did this by putting an exposed, alloyed lead tip on the bullet and then adding six notches in the jacket around that nose," Stock explained.
"I like to refer to the Power-Point bullet as 'two bullets in one,'" he continued. "The front half gives that rapid energy deposit, it's lead tip expanding-bam-immediately upon contacting game. The notches weaken the jacket to allow this expansion to continue its rapid growth while controlling the symmetry needed for straight-line penetration.
"The rear of the bullet, the shank, is built for penetration. Here the jacket tapers rapidly to a much thicker wall from about the knurl location back through the heel. This thicker brass jacket arrests the expansion and makes sure the bullet will retain a lot of weight for the necessary penetration to take down game both big and small."
Evidence for this has been piling up for half a century as deer, elk and bear hunters use Power-Point bullets in some 44 different loads from .22-250 Rem. through .338 Win. Mag. Those represent a wide range of bullet velocities and power levels as well as animal sizes and toughness, raising questions about the Power- Point's ability to handle such extremes. How can one bullet be suitable for coyotes and moose, .30-30's and .300 magnums?
"We do it by tailoring Power-Point construction for each load," Stock explained. "A 180-grain Power-Point bullet for a .300 Winchester Magnum is drastically different than the .30 caliber 170-grain bullet we put in .30-30 Win. It's tougher, tailored for the higher velocities and impact energies of the magnum. In slower cartridges, we work our engineering magic to enable the Power-Point bullets to expand ideally at those lower impact energies."
The result is balanced performance that yields consistent results at a bargain price. In today's world of expensive super bullets with more parts than some rifles, the Power-Point may look deceptively simple, perhaps even old fashioned. Alloyed lead core, notched and tapered brass jacket. Not very complicated. But very effective. Power-Point bullets are one of the most-used, most-loved, most-effective and least expensive big game bullets going. Millions are used each season to fulfill the dreams of boys and men, girls and women, parents and grandparents who enjoy the ancient and honorable traditions of putting up the winter meat supply the old fashioned way. The hunter/gatherer way. The Power-Point bullet has been there for them since 1960. Long may it reign.
Winchester is one of the world's most widely recognized and respected ammo brand names. To this day, Winchester continues a legacy of advanced technology and precision ammunition for all shooting scenarios.
Along with Winchester's reputation as a revolutionary ammunition company, Winchester also has a rich history of firearms and gear for the field.

Right-leaning British papers condemn a Labour "coup"
The British papers are all carrying political obituaries of Gordon Brown today after his announcement that he would step down this autumn. While some, like The Independent, are positive about the move, others see it as a cynical attempt to keep the Tories out of government. This and other stories in today's international papers: TUESDAY, 11th MAY 2010

The detectives began piecing the information together to find the killer, who ambushed the man on a little used road.
As the news of the killing spread, we received information from a county resident who lived on the north end and was just passing through this area. This person noticed a blue Honda following the victim's old truck onto the side road.
This information corroborated other evidence the deputies had developed. The suspect was arrested and is now serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary.
Witnesses being willing to come forward and get involved helps to bring about justice and, also, helps the county save a lot of time on investigations.
People still help us often.
Some people will call and tell us about suspicious activity. Others will tell a deputy, in person, about their suspicions. It is like the Neighborhood Watch Program, neighbors watching out for neighbors.
We are asked from time to time to keep the caller's name confidential. We honor the caller's request. On the flip side, people try to use law enforcement to meet their own selfish ends.
In years past, people who were in a bitter divorce or custody battle would come by to make complaints. Their complaint would be their former mate's new partners were abusing their kids.
Most of these type complaints would end there, when the deputy informed the complainant the investigation would be made, but if the report was false he or she would be arrested. Lying on an affidavit and/or filing a false report is now a felony.
It is very sad that some parents are so bitter they are willing to put their children through such misery. They do so to get revenge on an ex-husband or ex-wife.
One lady, who was having trouble with her grown daughter, came by to report her daughter had been kidnapped and was being held against her will. The distraught mother told the deputy of some of the problems she was having with the daughter. She told about her rebelliousness and that she would no longer do the things her mother wanted her to do.
Well, the more the mother explained their relationship the more the red flags came up.
A senior deputy explained the legal process, but the lady was not satisfied. The deputy then told the mother that if the daughter was really in imminent danger he would go immediately to kick the door down and rescue her daughter. He, also, told the mother that if she was lying there would be legal ramifications for both the mother and the deputy.
The mother recanted her story and admitted she was just trying to use the sheriff's office to make her daughter come home.
We do respond to a number of false scenarios and spend time running down rabbit trails, because we are given false information. Yet, we are given a lot of good information that many times helps our deputies put together the crime puzzle.
Such information may appear to be insignificant, but often leads to other information that will help solve a case and get the perpetrator off the street.
Again, we get a lot of information from people who never have to testify in court. There are a number of old cases that are still open that can be, and are sometimes, closed through information received which helps us gain the missing piece or pieces to prosecute the suspect(s).
There are some crimes, even murders, that we have information on, but the main suspect has since died, so we cannot present the evidence.
Well, what if someone gives me information that a good friend, acquaintance or supporter is involved in a criminal activity? In that case, I feel the same way as one of our sheriff's from years ago put it.
He said something like this, "I would be obligated to see if the accusations were true. If the accusations were false, I would be obligated to prove their innocence."
Some investigations are very sensitive. The investigating deputy must walk very lightly at the beginning, until the evidence weighs heavily against the suspect. Questioning someone who might later become a suspect has the potential to scandalize a family or company. So, we do make a strong effort to protect the good name of the innocent, while ferreting out the guilty.
Thanks to all who have and who will share information and cooperate with your sheriff's office.
Check out www.bradleysheriff.com.
Thanks for reading.

Allies Debate Libya Ceasefire, China Shifts Ground
June 23, 2011 by TMO
By Matt Robinson
MISRATA, Libya (Reuters) – Signs of discord emerged on Wednesday in the NATO alliance over the air campaign against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, as Italy said it favored a ceasefire and political talks while France dismissed the idea.
China also signaled a shift in its stand on the conflict, describing the rebels as a "dialogue partner," while Libyan television said that "dozens" of people had been killed in Zlitan after NATO ships shelled the town.
Four months into the uprising, and three months since NATO war planes began bombing Libya, the rebels are making only slow gains in their march on the capital Tripoli to topple Gaddafi.
"The need to look for a ceasefire has become more pressing," Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini told parliament. "I believe that as well as the ceasefire, which is the first stage toward a political negotiation, a humanitarian stop to military action is fundamental to allow immediate humanitarian aid."
French foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero reacted sharply to Frattini's comments, which reflected Italian anxiety for some time over the NATO operation.
"The coalition was in complete accord two weeks ago at the contact group meeting in Abu Dhabi: We have to intensify the pressure on Gaddafi. Any pause in operations would risk allowing him to gain time and reorganize himself," Valero told reporters.
In Rome, a foreign ministry spokesmen played down Frattini's comments, saying this was not an Italian proposal and that it had been discussed among others at a Cairo meeting on June 18 of European Union, U.N., African and Arab officials.
"There is no specific Italian proposal on this. What Minister Frattini said in parliament this morning is that Italy is interested in looking at all ideas which could relieve civilian suffering," the spokesman said.
He said the ceasefire, an idea the United Nations has been pushing without success for some time, could apply to rebel-held Misrata and the Western Mountains region.
At the same time, the African Union chief said in Addis Ababa that the West would eventually have to accept an AU ceasefire plan, saying the air bombardments were not working.
"(The bombing campaign) was something which they thought would take 15 days," Jean Ping, chairman of the AU Commission, told Reuters. "The stalemate is already there. There is no other way (than the AU plan). They will (endorse it)."
The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), a Saudi-based grouping of 57 Muslim countries, also said it had sent a delegation that arrived in Libya on Wednesday to mediate.
It would meet the rebels in Benghazi and Gaddafi officials in Tripoli, a statement said, but gave no more details.
China Shifts Ground
The debate over a ceasefire comes as Libya's rebels, who have made steady progress winning support abroad and isolating Gaddafi on the international stage, secured Beijing's recognition as a "dialogue partner."
"China sees you as an important dialogue partner," Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told Mahmoud Jibril, diplomatic chief of the Benghazi-based rebel National Transitional Council in Beijing. The comments were published in a statement on the Chinese Foreign Ministry's website (www.mfa.gov.cn).
"(The Council's) representation has been growing stronger daily since its establishment, and it has step-by-step become an important domestic political force," Yang said, adding that China was worried about the Libyan people's suffering.
Winning international recognition could eventually help the rebels to secure access to frozen Libyan funds, and the right to spend money earned by exporting oil.
China is the only veto-wielding permanent member of the U.N. Security Council that has yet to call for Gaddafi to step down, after Russia joined Western countries last month in calling for him to leave power.
Beijing, never very close to Gaddafi, hosted Libya's Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi this month. Courting the rebels has marked a policy adjustment for China, which generally avoids entangling itself in other nations' domestic affairs.
NATO and the rebels are hoping that Gaddafi's diplomatic and economic isolation will eventually bring his government down.
Misrata Attacks
Gaddafi's forces were able to shell the rebel stronghold of Misrata on Tuesday, landing rockets in the center of the town for the first time in several weeks.
No one was reported hurt by that strike, but it undermined a relative sense of security among residents who believed that a siege on the city had been broken last month.
More rockets fell later in the sparsely-populated El-Araidat neighborhood near the port. Residents said no one was hurt and a Reuters reporter saw only several dead sheep lying in a field after the attack.
"Everyone is worried. We don't know where to go anymore. Only when I die will I be safe," said Mohammed Mabrouk, who lives near one of two houses hit by the first rocket rounds in Misrata. Two more landed in open areas.
At least three explosions were heard in Tripoli on Wednesday morning and again in the afternoon but it was not clear where or what caused them.
In a sign of the increasing impact of the crisis on daily life, Gaddafi's state media issued instructions that ordinary people should follow "to deal with the fuel shortage."
They called on people to use public transport instead of cars, avoid using air conditioning when driving and stick to 90-100 kph as the ideal speed. They also asked Libyans to be patient when queuing at petrol stations.
Exports of oil have ceased, depriving Gaddafi's government of the funds it used during peacetime to provide the population with heavily subsidized food and fuel. Petrol queues in Gaddafi -held areas now stretch for miles.
Rebels have been trying to advance west toward the town of Zlitan, where Gaddafi's soldiers are imposing a tight siege. Libyan television said on Wednesday that "dozens" of people were killed in Zlitan after NATO ships shelled the town.
The report could not be independently verified because foreign reporters have been prevented from entering Zlitan. NATO normally comments on its Libya operations the following day.
If the Libyan television report is confirmed, it could further complicate the mission of the NATO-led military alliance, whose credibility has been questioned after it admitted on Sunday killing civilians in a Tripoli air strike.
Gaddafi's government says more than 700 civilians have died in NATO strikes. However, it has not shown evidence of such large numbers of civilian casualties, and NATO denies them.
A rebel spokesman called Mohammed told Reuters from Zlitan that NATO had been hitting government military targets in the town on an almost daily basis. He said Gaddafi's soldiers used artillery positions in Zlitan to fire salvoes toward Misrata.
"We hear the sound of artillery fire every night," he said.
