► Great American Outdoor Show Thrives
The halls of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex have been to home to an impressive array of taxidermy throughout the Great American Outdoor Show. Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper offers a closer look at some of the more impressive mounts with this gallery.
Earlier this year, we published our "Members' Best" issue, which gave us the opportunity to showcase your trophies. In honor of the final Whitetail Week of 2014, we've decided to release an updated version of the gallery—Members' Best 2014: Whitetail Edition.
What better way to celebrate the holiday season than by taking a trip to Texas to tag a whitetail? Armed with a Savage Arms Model 14 and Federal Premium's Fusion ammunition, Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper joined Mossy Oak on a journey to Sonora, Texas, with hopes of knocking down a buck before 2014 could wind down. Get an inside look at his trip with this gallery.
To honor the debut of its new Ethos, Benelli put the shotgun on tour. The plan? Have one model visit all 50 states before SHOT Show. Oh, and there would be no cleaning of the firearm, either. A native of Delaware, Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper was tapped to handle The First State's leg of the tour. Armed with the Ethos and a box of Federal Premium, he journeyed home with plans to knock a few birds out of the sky.
On a dove and hog hunt in west Texas last year, America Hunter field editor Brian McCombie made some new friends, tested out new gear and took the biggest boar hog of his life. The hunt was held at the T-Diamond Ranch, an NRA Outdoors approved outfitter headed by Roy Wilson. McCombie was joined by eight other hunters, all NRA members—including two father-son teams.
Earlier this month, Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper had the opportunity to put the new 2015 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon on the venerated Hatfield-McCoy Trails. What's it like, putting a new 4x4 through its paces on one of the country's most highly-regarded trail systems? Get an inside look with this gallery.
With the bulls bugling and the aspens at their golden height, where else would you rather be than the "Elk Hunting Capital of the World" with an elk tag in your pocket? Digital Managing Editor Justin McDaniel found himself in that enviable position in late September as he headed to the mountains northeast of Craig, Colo., for his first elk hunt.
Hornady has announced that it's expanding its .17-caliber lineup in 2015, with the addition of the .17 WSM. Earlier this year, Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper had the opportunity to put the new offering to work on some prairie dogs during a Wyoming varmint hunt. Get an inside look at that trip with the gallery provided here, and be sure to check out our video for even more information.
Whether you are a traditionalist shooting charcoal, sulfur and nitrate or a modern in-line enthusiast, you'll learn quickly that there are a number of products you'll need to make your shooting passion more enjoyable. Our friends at Cheaper Than Dirt have plethora of accessories. Here's a sampling:
NRA Publications Armorer Christopher Olsen had the chance to spend a few days reloading Hornady ammunition and putting it to good use at Gunwerks' long range shooting course. Get an inside look at what he learned with this gallery.
Summer is an excellent time to bust out the varmint loads and put a hurting on small game. With that in mind, Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper and some of the folks from Winchester ventured to northern Wyoming with the intention of putting the company's .17 Win. Super Mag. to work on the local prairie dog population. Get an inside look at the hunt with this gallery.
For all their revealing brightness, binoculars are dark and mysterious things. Ron Spomer's going to make things easy for you: Here are seven binoculars that won't break the bank.
Britain's incomparable CLA Game Fair serves a vibrant community determined to safeguard and promote all facets of rural life, notably including shooting and hunting. Huge crowds make the Game Fair one of the biggest and best events of its kind around the world.
We asked NRA members to send in their best photos from 2013-14 hunts, and published many of them in the June 2014 issue. Here are the photos that were featured in the print edition of American Hunter this year. Keep checking back as we will be adding a new entry almost every day from those that didn't make the print edition.
Spring typically means the end of the line for waterfowlers and the beginning of "duck depression." There is a way to squeeze a little more action out of your season: a spring snow goose hunt. Managing Online Editor Shawn Skipper spent a week hunting the reverse migration in South Dakota this spring, armed with Remington's Versa Max Waterfowl Pro and Federal Premium's Black Cloud shotshells. Find out how he fared with this gallery.

You guys are no better than the commies: I read Kirk Nielsen's article about the Cuban news show Mesa Redonda ("Live from Havana, It's Mesa Redonda!" January 31) and was impressed with how much the issues he criticized are also true of U.S. media shows. In fact I would argue that U.S. news shows are just as one-sided as those in Cuba.
The truth is, the Cubans are more honest. They don't pretend to be objective. They're interested in uplifting and furthering the values of their society. The U.S. press, owned by big business, doesn't have to receive overt marching orders because they automatically line up with the government's policies, especially since it benefits their bottom line.
The American press seldom interviews activists who oppose the party line on issues like police brutality, housing discrimination, or other discriminatory ills in U.S. society. Usually the press picks the activist most palatable to the public, and seldom is that the most articulate person available. So too it was clear that Mr. Nielsen was not totally objective when he took on his Mesa Redonda project. It was disingenuous of him to pose as neutral; his bias showed throughout the article.
While we're talking about good old-fashioned American openness to other points of view, recall that after U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California cast the lone opposition vote to Bush's "war decree," her life was threatened and she received thousands of pieces of hate mail. Closer to home, the University of Miami fired an employee because he told a joke; the fire department nearly fired three black firefighters for simply voicing safety concerns; and a mayoral candidate was fired from his job for expressing opposing views. We must be careful when we talk about our hallowed concepts of balance and fairness.
Mel Reeves
Shiver & Jeb: Buddies
They never needed me, and DeFede knows it! Perhaps it's Jim DeFede who needs to attend an ethics course in honest reporting ("Introduction to Ethics," January 31). He ignores facts that were presented to him not only by me but by others involved in the nonstory about clemency for Steve Shiver's "pal" William Chaney, when Shiver was mayor of Homestead.
He wrote, "Despite Levy's efforts ..." notwithstanding his knowledge there were no efforts. As he was told, Mr. Shiver is very close with Gov. Jeb Bush. If he wanted to "influence" the process, he could have called the governor, in whose hands the entire process rested. He was merely monitoring the proceedings, and that is all he ever asked of us.
Mr. DeFede continues to ignore the fact that Steve Shiver and Bob Levy are and were close personal friends, so a personal request did not put me in an "awkward position." Mr. Shiver did not try to "help out a friend." He only requested that we keep our eye on the proceedings.
Mr. DeFede continues to ignore the truth, which leads me to believe there should be a mandatory ethics class for journalists.
Robert M. Levy
Jim DeFede replies: As I previously reported, Levy wrote an e-mail to Shiver: "Boss -- Governor denied Chaney's clemency at 2/22 meeting. Joe Gillespie [a former Levy employee whose job at the secretary of state's office included recommendations regarding clemency petitions] called [Chaney] personally to inform him of the outcome and told him he tried to help in your behalf." Shiver responded: "I really don't know what else to do for Chaney." And I don't know what other conclusion to draw than Shiver, through Levy, unsuccessfully tried to influence the outcome of a clemency petition.
James to Jessica: Imbeciles We Are Not
Love it or leave it! There, I said it: After reading Jessica McGilvery's letter "America to World: Bend to Our Will or Else!" (January 24), I must ask who is really naive? She accuses America of using the carrot and stick to make other countries bend to our will, yet she gives no examples. If she means our rewarding nations that subscribe to international standards of behavior and punishing those that would harbor and promote terrorism, violence, and hatred, then we're guilty as charged.
For every instance she could provide as evidence of our "manipulative" foreign policy, I could cite ten showing remarkable restraint and compassion. The "precarious position" in which we find ourselves is that of trying to be the world's policeman, which the rest of the world has pushed upon us and criticizes or encourages whenever it suits their needs. I will remind Jessica that we were asked to intervene in Grenada, Kuwait, and Bosnia, and dared to respond in Afghanistan. Perhaps she considers retaliation for the wholesale murder of 3000 American citizens, the destruction of multibillion-dollar properties, and the assault on our way of life -- all on American soil -- as another example of American arrogance.
Jessica likens the "American experience" to an "insidious epidemic" infecting beautiful cultures around the world while at the same time "insulating" our own borders from outside influences. Does she really live in Miami, one of the most diverse populations of any city in the world? No other country in the world tolerates, much less promotes, a more diverse population. None!

Saw Palmetto and PCOS
Saw palmetto (also known as sabal palmetto) is a reddish brown-to-black berry growing on a 6'-8" palm tree (Serenoa repens). The fruit of this palm have been part of the diet of natives of the southeastern U.S. for hundreds of years.
It is widely used for the treatment of enlarged prostate glands in men. It is thought that prostate glands become enlarged primarily because of a metabolite of testosterone, called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. Women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) also tend to have higher levels of testosterone and DHT than other women. Therefore, what works for men may work for women.
Is It Similar to Anti-Androgenic Drugs?
Vitex, Pygeum and Saw Palmetto
Useful for Hirsutism?
How does it work in women?
One of the most troubling symptoms of women with PCOS is hirsutism (too much hair, in the wrong places). Hirsutism is thought to be mostly due to excessive levels of androgenic hormones. Examples of androgens are testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA.
Testosterone is the main androgen we're concerned about. It's normal for men to have a lot of testosterone and for women to have some. In both men and women, testosterone is converted into a more potent hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is the hormone in your skin that stimulates hirsutism, which is male pattern hair growth. If you can reduce DHT, you may be able to reduce hirsutism (hair growing where you don't want it) or male pattern hair loss (restoring hair where you do want it).
Palmetto extract appears to reduce DHT in three different ways:
- Inhibits DHT production;
- Inhibits the binding of DHT to its cell receptors;
- Promotes the breakdown of DHT.
Testosterone is converted into DHT by an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. 5-alpha-reductase is inhibited by saw palmetto extract, and thus less DHT is produced and hirsutism may be reduced.
A recent study at the University of Birmingham in the UK showed that both overweight and normal-weight women with PCOS had higher 5-alpha-reductase activity than women who did not have PCOS.
In other words, if you have polycystic ovary syndrome, it appears you also have a tendency for higher 5-alpha-reducase activity, which in turn makes it easier for you to convert testosterone into the undesirable DHT. The excessive levels of DHT in turn create some of the distressing symptoms of PCOS such as hair loss or facial and body hair growth.
Palmetto extract may be useful for reducing 5-alpha-reducase activity.
It may be helpful in another way. A high level of estrogen may inhibit the elimination of DHT. Some women with PCOS have estrogen levels that are too high. It is reported to have an anti-estrogenic effect, thus helping with the removal of DHT.
There have been many studies of men with testosterone disorders that demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of saw palmetto. There aren't yet any studies of hirsute PCOS women. However, naturopathic physicians using these herbs for PCOS are seeing consistently favorable results.
Palmetto extract may help with the following PCOS symptoms:
- Hirsutism (too much hair in the wrong places)
- Male pattern baldness or hair loss.
"Thank you so much for selling the Saw Palmetto-Pygeum-Nettle Root extract. I've been on 4 medications in the past for PCOS that never had an effect except for making me feel bad. I've been losing my hair for the past few years, despite not even being 30 yet, and it was very noticeable at my hair part. After using the extract for 2 months, my once sparse hair part has visibly improved! There's also a lot less hair falling out on my hairbrush than there used to be!" - Belinda Guerra |

Is It Similar to Anti-Androgenic Drugs?
Two drugs commonly prescribed for PCOS women are spironolactone (Aldactone), and finasteride (Propecia, Proscar).
Spironolactone is a diuretic that blocks two pathways to the production of androgens, or male hormones. One of those pathways is inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase. Spironolactone may cause irregular bleeding in some women, as well as nausea, indigestion or fatigue.
Propecia and Proscar inhibit 5-alpha-reductase and are used mostly for male pattern baldness and men with enlarged prostate glands.
The Journal of the American Medical Association published a review of studies that concluded saw palmetto was as effective as finasteride in the treatment of enlarged prostates.
Two advantages of saw palmetto are:
- (1) it is free of side effects, and
- (2) it is less expensive than the drugs mentioned above.
Side Effects and Precautions
No significant side effects have been noted in clinical trials with this herbal extract, except for rare headache or stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach.
Because of possible hormonal activity, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Palmetto berry constituents have alpha-adrenergic blocking activity that may alter the effects of these medications: prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin mesylate, tamsulosin.
It may have an additive effect if taken with anti-androgen drugs that reduce the levels of male sex hormones, such as finasteride (Prosca, Propecia) or flutamide (Eulexin).
In theory, it could interfere with birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy in women.
If you're taking any of these drugs, check with your health professional advisor before taking saw palmetto.
How Much Should You Take?
Every women is unique, so the amount and form of saw palmetto you need won't be the same as for someone else.
As a general guideline, a common dose for men is 320 mg. of extract per day, standardized to at least 85-95% fatty acids with a guaranteed minimum of 0.2-0.4% sterols. ("Standardized" means you get the same amount of active ingredients every time). You may decide to start with a somewhat lower dose.
In men, it can be taken for six weeks before any effect is noticed. If improvement is noted, it is recommended that men take it continuously. Since you're trying to reduce DHT like the men are, you could do the same.
Vitex, Pygeum and Saw Palmetto
A number of herbal products and nutritional supplements work synergistically to modify your hormonal profile. A few examples include vitex (chasteberry), saw palmetto, stinging nettles and pygeum. You may wish to combine saw palmetto extract, stinging nettle root and pygeum for a greater effect. You may also wish to add vitex. As you can imagine, a supplement program can get complicated.
Pygeum africanum is an evergreen tree found in the higher elevations of Africa. The fatty acids in pygeum appear to have effects similar to those found in saw palmetto. Pygeum contains substances that have been reported to work synergistically to:
- Reduce levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone.
- Reduce prolactin levels, thereby reducing uptake of testosterone and synthesis of dihydrotestosterone.
- Competes with testosterone, thus inhibiting its buildup in tissues.
Therefore, we recommend you seek guidance from a naturopathic physician, who would have extensive knowledge of herbs and botanical medicines.
WARNING: The quality of botanical supplements varies widely. Don't buy any herbal or botanical product unless it has a "standardized" amount of the active component listed on the label. A "standardized" product has a consistent amount of active ingredients from one bottle to the next. If you buy a product that is not standardized, you have no clue as to what you are actually getting and may be wasting your money.
You can obtain the highest quality saw palmetto extract or vitex products from our PCOS Supplements Store.

Keep in mind - you are not allowed to driving another Summer Scholar student in your personal vehicle for any reason!
At no time shall a commuting student drive another student, either commuter or residential, on or off campus without written consent from the parents/guardian of the driver and passenger. In addition, no commuter student shall allow another commuting or residential student to be in or on his/her personal vehicle.
Utilizing CTA
Commuter students will be issued a CTA passes for the duration of the program. We encourage commuters to utilize Chicago's CTA system instead of paying the added cost of driving their personal vehicles.
We issue commuter students passes on a weekly basis. You may pick-up your new CTA pass beginning Monday morning at front desk of Messina Hall. Once distributed, students will be responsible for the security of their CTA pass. Should it become lost or stolen, you will need to pay to purchase a new card.
Summer Scholar's base of operations is Messina Hall. Please feel free to utilize the hall as a place to study, socialize, meet for activities, pick up their CTA passes, or wait for rides at the end of the day. Every commuter student has full access to enter the residence hall 24-hours a day. The front gate and exterior doors may be opened by using your Loyola ID card. To access, simply swipe your card in front of the black box to unlock the gate and/or doors.
Please let the program staff know if your card is not working.
Overnight Stays
As a commuter, if you wish to stay overnight, you must do the following:
- Make a selection of only weekend days

We ask you allocate enough time to safely travel between campus and home. Program staff is available to escort students home upon request.
On occasion, the program will offer events which run late into the evening or require students to be driven to secondary locations. In those instances, we will provide students a ride home.
Check-out Policy

These boundaries have been established for everyone's safety and for the ease of Loyola's Campus Safety officers ability to respond quickly in an emergency.
For excursions beyond the set boundaries, students will need added supervision by one or more of the program staff members and/or course instructors.
Commuter students have full access to all of Loyola University Chicago's academic facilities, libraries, electronic resources and computing centers.
Other Resources available to you will be:
Academic assistance is available to commuter students. These students can participate in study groups, contact program staff members or meet with faculty members for help outside of regular program hours.

How many dotTechies know what a disc image is? Most of us properly either know what it is, used one before, or have at least heard of it. If I asked this same question, say, 3-4 years ago, most of us probably would not have known what a disc image is or even heard of a disc image. Why? Because only until recently have legitimate activities/software involved the use of disc images; in the past disc images were popular mainly in the dark corners of the internet – they made (make) pirating software a lot easier. Ripping a software off a CD into an ISO and uploading it onto the Internet so someone else could download it and burn it onto another CD or install wasn't (isn't) a hard task. (Although, who really buys software that comes with discs nowadays? I mean, seriously, it is all about the shareware [or freeware] – download, install, and go. There is no need to make a trip down to your local Best Buy for something you can download off the developer's website.) However, as I just mentioned, nowadays disc images is a technology that is becoming increasingly popular among mainstream computer users. So, one needs to be well equipped to handle a disc image shall one ever show up at our door step.
Before we go over methods of how to work with disc images, lets quickly describe what a disc image is, for those that don't know. A disc image can be considered to be the virtual relative of a physical disc; a disc image is the exact same thing as a physical disc… with being an actual physical disc. In other words, similar to how you can virtualize your computer, you can virtualize a disc. For example, lets say you have a Diablo II CD and a Diablo II disc image. The contents of the CD and the disc image are the exact same. The only difference is with the CD you can put it in your optical drive and run Diablo II; with the disc image you need to mount it – as opposed to putting it in your optical drive – before you can run Diablo II. (You may also decide to burn the disc image onto a physical disc, if you wish, but often mounting an image is more convenient.) Mounting a disc image makes it work just like if you had a physical disc and you put that physical disc into your disc drive.
So, now the question is: How do you mount a disc image? With an optical drive emulator, of course. Ever heard of Dameon Tools? Dameon Tools is probably one of the most popular drive emulators. For the longest time Dameon Tools was the go-to software if you needed an optical drive emulator. However, Dameon Tools has now become shareware and is rumored to be bundled with spyware, toolbar, and other crap you don't want on your computer. (I say "rumored" because I have read about this and not actually seen it myself since I have not used Dameon Tools for years.) Hence, today I introduce you to Virtual CloneDrive, a freeware drive emulator that is 100% clean and dead simple to use.
Virtual CloneDrive supports emulation of CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray drives and allows users to mount/unmount .ISO, .IMG, .DVD, .CCD, .UDF, and .BIN images. Users can either set Virtual CloneDrive as the default manager for these disc images (during installation you have the option to "associate" these disc image formats with Virtual CloneDrive) in which case all you have to do is double click a disc image and Virtual CloneDrive will automatically mount/unmount it, or users can mount/mount disc images via various different right-click menus:
- Right-clicking on a virtual drive:
- Right-clicking on a disc image:
- Right-clicking on the Virtual CloneDrive system tray icon:
Virtual CloneDrive gives users the ability to have up to 15 virtual drives at a time; this option can be controlled via the "Settings…" you see in the above screenshot:
The more virtual drives you have, the more will show in My Computer and in the right-click menu of the system try icon. Of course, more virtual drives you have means you can mount multiple disc images at a time. If you would like to be able to differentiate a virtual drive from a physical drive, you can turn on the "Virtual Sheep" feature which changes the icon and name of virtual drives:
Virtual CloneDrive supports multiple different languages, for those non-English speakers:
All things considered, Virtual CloneDrive is probably the most clean and easy-to-use optical drive emulator you will find right now. You may grab Virtual CloneDrive from the following links:
Supported OS: Windows 98 and higher

Hey Ashraf…
Other great FREE tools to mount Images and even Archives on Virtual drives worthy to be downloaded, are also the following one:

what i hav to do when i supposed to insert cd 1
A friend recently started me on using this drive, and having given me the ISO, and I having mounted it, installed the game, and left it mounted, for some reason when starting the game it is telling me that i must "insert the correct CD ROM". Considering that the game has been installed I am in shock as to how it recognizes the disk in Virtual Clone drive enough to install and run autorun, yet it cannot read the mounted ISO so that it is playable. Any ideas as to what the issue may be.
I have been using Virtual Clone Drive for over 10 years now and it has always served me well. Deamon tools I never liked very much. In recent years I have started to also use VirtualCD, which allows you to turn a real CD-drive into a virtual one (with the driveletter D assigned to it, which is handy for some older software).
Personally, I prefer Daemon Tools Lite over any other software. It's light, simple, free, and just works.
@anemialname: How exactly does daemon mess up your game? The only problem I've ever run into is you cannot reboot with the virtual drive still actively mounting an ISO file successfully. -
Do you know how this compares to Daemon?
I have all my Cd's ripped to ISO's because I hate clutter so if this is better than Daemon I will change up.
Sometimes Deamon messes up when I'm playing a game.
Thanks Ashraf! -
Thanks for the links.I remember reading those and not realizing I might have a need for a VM. Seems now I do,as my main concern is if I've been ripped off.I already burned the ISO's to DVD,and have been very reluctant to wipe my drive on one of my old XP comps and install Win7 only to find it's not genuine.That would suck because I won't run "pirate ware" either,especially an OS. Let me see if I can wrap my head around the whole VM concept.I'll probably be back with questions.Thanks for your help,and no apology was necessary,as I should have been more clear on my situation to begin with.
John G.
OK, here's the deal. I have a game that I play, but the game requires the disc to be in the disc drive. From what I read above, I can simply mount that physical disc into a virtual drive with this program and not have to use the physical disc again. Is my thinking correct on this?
Your posts are the greatest. You really come up with some good stuff and very informative articles. Keep up the good work.
John -
Thanks, Ashraf! I have been wanting to create a virtual hard drive based on my hard drive for when I replace this OS. I need a new system but don't want to lose all the GOTD programs and other cool top-knotch software that I have and want access to while using a new operating system.
This will work in that respect, right? -
Thanks Ashraf, another interesting review.
I smiled when you wrote, wasn't (isn't). -
indeed a very good software…
using it for couple of months without any problem..
thanks for letting know extra features.. -
Ashraf-I only bring up legitimacy because of the price that I paid for the ISO's.Maybe I got taken,I don't know for sure,but I do have a printed receipt for the purchase.I'm not looking to "install" a copy of Win7,just wonder if it will "run" on this comp for which I obviously paid for the Win7 that's installed on it from the manufacturer.I assure you,I'm not trying to pull a fast one here-just wonder if you can mount and run an OS like other software-that's all! Besides,if I have been taken for a ride,the reg codes won't pass validation anyway-correct?
Been using this one for several years… Simple and work great..
[Comment removed by Ashraf. Reason: Sorry, but if your license codes' "legitimacy is questionable", then you are essentially asking us to help you install pirated Windows. dotTech has no tolerance for such things.]

Campers' health and safety are looked after by experienced Registered Nurses and certified Life Guards. Food will be provided by a reputable catering company, to ensure your child receives tasty and nutritional meals. A tuck shop is available so campers have the opportunity to purchase various snacks and treats.

How the Next Kindle Could Save the Newspaper Business
- |
- 5:08 pm |
- Permalink
One of those is Plastic Logic, perhaps the device that comes closest to unseating the Kindle and advancing the newspaper agenda. The one-button touch-screen reader is set to launch in January, though they would be smart to move that date up as soon as they can. The 8.5 x 11" Plastic Logic reader is aimed at heavy consumers of journalism who also want a platform for their office reading: reports, Powerpoint decks and the endless spreadsheets of modern corporate life.
"We see a really strong content model," says Daren Benzi, VP for business development at Plastic Logic. But where Amazon is selling the idea of instant and immediate access to a wide variety of discreet authors and their books, Plastic Logic is excited about the always-on data-flow of instant newspapers. (Though they plan to offer books through Fictionwise, which was recently bought by Barnes & Noble setting up a battle of the titans for the e-book space.)
There are dozens of other potential players here too. The low cost of distribution ends up being a huge boon to the wireless industry — content delivery takes place during hours of low network usage providing cell companies with large doses of incremental revenue — which sets up the possibility that wireless carriers will start offering their own devices. That threatens to devolve into a format war.
But the confusion will have a side benefit. It may, once and for all, convince the doubting writers that an emerging platform build on e-ink readers and wireless connectivity — do we have a name for these things yet? — offers them the greatest opportunity to practice their craft.
"This space has got vast potential," says AT&T's Lurie. "This type of device, the type content and data that goes on thess devices, the types of uses for a screen of this size creates all kinds of potential. I think they're going to be huge."
Guest columnist Marion Maneker is the former publisher of HarperCollins's business books imprint. He currently writes about business for The Big Money and The Big Picture, among other outlets; and about the art market at Artmarketmonitor.com

Day 14 of Government Shutdown: Federal workers coping with scaled down paychecks
Central El Paso Federal employee supports two households
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — Thousands of furloughed borderland families are running out of cash and are now forced with the tough decision of what to cut.
We spoke with one woman who's not only supporting herself -- but another family is well.
Barbara Robbins does her laundry as well as her daughter's and her grandkids. "It's been rough. It's been extremely tough," Barbara Robbins, a Beaumont Medical Center employee said. Her daughter, Brenda, has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently recovering from a mastectomy. "She's still going through a lot of medical treatment and I'm supplementing her with my pay for her and her four children."
Because Brenda can only work part time, Barbara has been supporting two households. "At one point I was probably giving pretty much of it all except what I needed to pay for here at home," Robbins said.
With her recent furlough, she's looking at half a paycheck to support her two homes. When we asked her if she ever thought of not paying for her daughter's bills, she exclaimed that she would never do that and would do whatever it takes. Meaning, cutting things out of her budget that used to be cheap treats like pizza and movies.
UTEP economics professor Dr. Tom Fullerton explained Robbins and other furloughed workers slimmed down budgets, may impact the overall economy. "It starts to affect businesses and after a while it ends up causing disruptions in the local economy," Dr. Fullerton said.
Barbara said if the shutdown continues, she may not be able to afford even simpler items. "It's about the little simple things in life. You know, your shampoo, your toothpaste… that we're not going to be able to afford here soon."

Would you believe this is a clam? A tridacna clam, once of several marine species that can grow quite large. Some of the clams have beautiful blue or green colors and patterns and some are almost iridescent. I like to take photo abstracts of these.

Jessie Kesson, one of the North East of Scotland's finest writers, was born Jessie Grant McDonald, in Inverness on 29 October 1916. Jessie's harsh early life has been well documented. She grew up with her mother, Liz, in an Elgin slum, never having known her father. At the age of ten, she was taken from her mother and sent to an orphanage in Skene, Aberdeenshire.
After leaving Skene School she entered domestic service, and in 1934 moved to an Aberdeenshire farm with her husband Johnnie, who was a cottar. She combined a successful writing career with a variety of jobs, from hospital cleaner to artist's model, and was a social worker for nearly twenty years, living in London with her family.
The early years of her life influenced much of her writing. Her work includes the novels The White Bird Passes (1958), made into an award-winning film in 1980, Glitter of Mica (1963), Another Time, Another Place (1983), which also became a prize-winning film, and the collection of short stories Where the Apple Ripens (1985). In addition, she wrote poetry, newspaper features, and plays for radio and television. Jessie Kesson died in 1994.

Asus VG278H review: Great 3D, but what about that price?
The Asus VG278H is one of the best 3D monitors available, but can it overcome its plain and sometimes obtrusive design, as well as its high price?
When it debuted a few years ago, the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit required four components to work properly: 3D glasses, an Nvidia graphics card, a compatible display, and a separate, USB-connected 3D emitter.
In the time since that debut, not much has changed. But, while all four of those things are still required, some manufacturers have figured out how to make the process a bit more streamlined and instead of a separate USB-connected device, Asus builds the emitter into the monitor.
The VG278H also includes Nvidia's 3D Vision Kit 2 glasses; a much better-designed pair of 3D glasses compared to the first gen specs. The glasses use LightBoost tech to achieve brighter images than are typical with 3D monitors.
Still, at $600 the VG278H needs something more than great 3D performance to justify its price.
Check the full review to see what else it offers.
More reviews can be easily accessed from the monitor hub.

District Man Sentenced to 7 1/2-Year Prison Term
For June 2012 Robbery in Northwest Washington
-Defendant Acted As If He Had a Gun-
WASHINGTON – Kevin Howard, 29, of Washington, D.C., was sentenced today to a prison term of 7 ½ years for a robbery that took place earlier this year in Northwest Washington, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced.
Howard was found guilty in August 2012, following a trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, of one count of robbery while armed. He was sentenced by the Honorable Robert I. Richter. Upon completion of his prison term, Howard will be placed on five years of supervised release.
According to the government's evidence, Howard was riding a bicycle when he approached the victim at about 4 a.m. on June 2, 2012. The victim, who had finished a night's work as a bartender, had been dropped off and was headed home near Third Street and Florida Avenue NW when he was accosted. Howard had his hand in his pocket, as if he had a gun, and demanded the victim's money. The victim turned over about $400, his night's earnings, and Howard fled.
Soon after the victim called 911, officers with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) spotted Howard riding a bicycle eastbound on Florida Avenue. When an officer requested that he stop, Howard instead sped up and tried to escape. He was apprehended a short time later.
In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Machen commended the MPD detectives and officers who investigated the case. He also acknowledged those who worked on the case from the U.S. Attorney's Office, including Criminal Investigator Nelson Rhone, Paralegal Specialist Kalisha Clark, Litigation Technology Specialist Thomas Royal, and Intern John Millar.

I hadn't had a Walnut Park in something like two-and-a-half years. During my last year in St. Louis — which was also my last year at The Royale, which was also the shittiest year of my life — I'd drink many Walnuts Parks after clocking out from my shitty day shift, sitting by myself at the bar because I didn't have anywhere else to go.

This surprised me:
The Slow Death of the Driver's License
There's been a long-term decline in the number of people getting driver's licenses. This is especially true for teenagers, but even among people in their 30s, over 10% now don't have driver's licenses.
What's driving that trend (pun not intended...)? Proportionately more young people living in urban areas with mass transit and fewer out in the Great Plains? Too expensive to own a car during hard economic times? Too many people losing their licenses after driving drunk? Parents still ferrying their 30-year-olds around? Or more and more people are just staying home and using facebook or twitter or the DPF?
Even if you don't own a car, I'd think that most places it would still be helpful to have a license, so you can rent a zipcar or borrow a friend's car or whatever, as needed.

Cramer Quick Take: What I Expect From Tonight's Debate
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's Jim Cramer expecting to see from tonight's presidential debate?
He told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Wednesday he expects President Obama to come out as the champion of the disenfranchised while Mitt Romney will continue to appeal to only the rich.
Cramer said it's an unfortunate fact that there are more poor voters in our country than rich ones, which is why Romney's seemingly "out of touch" views aren't likely to resonate with the masses.
Compassion will win the day, he concluded, which is why Romney may struggle. Watch the full Cramer interviewCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

The 360|iDev conference has just wrapped up, and it's been a great one. The three day conference which had ticket prices as low as $200 (a steal!), was attended by roughly 150 developers. Talks were divided roughly into 4 different tracks including business, game development, non-game development, and hands-on. Everyone attending the conference we talked to were very impressed with both the organization of the conference and the quality of the speakers.
360|iDev has a sense of community much more so than most developer conferences. The community feel puts everyone at ease and allows greater participation than a larger conference like WWDC. 360|iDev is put on by a duo of part-time conference organizers, they've done a fantastic job, we're already looking forward to the next one.
"Some of the best and brightest iPhone and Apple development community in one conference. It's fantastic. I'm looking forward to the next one." said Keith Shepherd from Imangi Studios, developer of Imangi and Little Red Sled.
The organizers are looking to have another 360iDev conference in about 6 months, this time on the other side of the Mississippi river. I'd suggest following them on Twitter to keep informed of the next one.

Must Read Pool Safety Tips Are you a pool owner or would you like to become one? If so, it is important that you take the time to familiarize yourself with pool safety tips. When doing so, you are able to protect your children, other loved ones, and keep your pool a fun and safe place to be this summer.
Although pool safety is a serious issue that should not be discounted, many pool owners are surprised to learn just how easy it is to accomplish. To get you started: If you are a pool Resep Brownies Kukus owner, never let small children or inexperienced swimmers, even adults, swim in your pool alone. Always closely monitor those inside your pool. Children who do not know how to swim should be no more than an arms length away from an adult.
As it was previously stated, children who do not know how to swim should be within arms length of an adult. This is important to remember, as many parents have gained a false sense of confidence and security with floatation devices, such as arm floaties or swimsuits with built in floaters. Even children outfitted with lifejackets approved by the United States Coast Guard should never be left unattended.
Before a swimming pool is filled with water it should be surrounded by a strong and sturdy fence. All pool owners should consult with local officials, as law may require a fence. Pool fences are important because many children drown in accidents when the pool was otherwise not in use.
A cordless telephone should always be kept near the pool when it is in use. Cordless phones are recommended, as it enables adults to answer the phone without leaving the pool area. Remember, all it takes is a few seconds for a child to slip underwater. A close by telephone can also result in a quicker call for emergency services.
If you are a parent, there is a good chance that your children will want to invite friends over for a swim or even a full-fledge pool party. If so, it is vital that you speak to the parents of all guests. Make sure that all children in your pool have permission to be there and that they can swim.
If you have an inground pool, it is recommended that you section off the deep end of the pool from the shallow end. You may be provided with a small buoyed rope to do so. Inexperienced swimmers need to be able to see where the shallow waters end.
If your swimming pool is an aboveground pool, your ladder should be removable. You will want to remove it from the side of the pool after Brownies Kukus each swim. This is particularly important if there are small children in your home or in your neighborhood. With no ladder, most small children will not be able to go for an unauthorized and unmonitored swim.
The above mentioned summer pool safety tips can help to reduce the chance of a pool accident, but you always need to be prepared for one. That is why all swimming pool owners should know or learn CPR. For a small and reasonable fee, you may be able to save the life of a loved one.

The William Braxton Hudson FamilyUpdated August 10, 2003 |

Edit Your Page |
I became interested in searching my family's history when I was in Jr. High School. Most of the information I have gathered has come from my father, William Braxton Hudson. He was not very informative with dates and names as he could not remember many of them. Unfortunately most of is siblings have past away and the information will be lost unless I can get some of it recorded. If any one has information that would help me I would be very greatful if you could share it with me. I have sent letters to the remaining family members and hopefully they will be able to inform me of names and dates that I do not have. |

The history of satellites in space
The history of artificial satellites in space begins in 1869 with a story by Edward Everett called The Brick Moon. Picture a smaller version of the Death Star, only made of cobblestones. Now, fast forward to 1945 and Arthur C. Clarke's seminal article in Wireless World, and you're almost there. While the U.S. had been thinking of developing satellites since World War II, it wasn't until 1955 that they really started to take the idea seriously.
While the United States was deliberating, the Soviet Union shocked the world with its launch of Sputnik. The Americans reacted quickly, but not before the launch of Sputnik 2, which even carried a pooch in the place of an astronaut.
Finally, in early 1958, the United States launched a satellite of its own. Unfortunately, no one remembers its name, but it was called Explorer, in case you're wondering.
Currently, there are hundreds of working satellites in orbit, including the new SwissCube, but thousands more are space junk. Yes, they track some of them, and they've destroyed at least two with missiles, but that seems like an awful lot of metal floating around out there. Anyway, the future of satellites is right around the corner.

The Dears, 'Degeneration Street' (Dangerbird)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Label: Dangerbird
A corrective after 2008's overreaching downer Missiles, this Canadian band's fifth album heads back to the big, Brit-inspired sounds of 2003's No Cities Left. Singer-guitarist Murray Lightburn still shoots for Smiths-like profundity and emotional resonance -- there's talk of God and bearing crosses -- but this time he's got the hooks to back it up: "Thrones" brims with passion, as Lightburn alternates between a bold vocal melody and an angry shout. He also luxuriates in a slow jam ("Lamentation") and fondly looks back even further than the '80s ("Yesteryear").

Baton Rouge, LA (FOX44) — Students at Park Elementary are learning to say no to drugs and alcohol. It's all part of Red Ribbon week at the school.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Department talked to the kids about the importance of staying drug free. They also signed a pledge promising to not use drugs or alcohol. Their principal says it's all about making sure the students become productive members of society.
"We want to make sure they understand that it's important to have a sound mind, sound body, sound spirit each and every day so that they can get the education they need to be good citizens in the world," Jessica Brister, Park Elementary Principal, said.
Tomorrow the students will take part in "Peace out to Drugs". They'll wear tie-dye shirts to school.
