Kohler forecast misses mark
PUBLISHED: 14 Jan 2013 00:05:25 | UPDATED: 14 Jan 2013 00:10:25PUBLISHED: 14 Jan 2013 PRINT EDITION: 14 Jan 2013It's now almost four years since Business Spectator editor (and now Rupert Murdoch acolyte) penned a herogram to the parsimony of Qantas boss Alan Joyce for "moving in above the shop". Kohler's soaring ode compared the Dubliner to former Coles boss Bevan Bradbury and Woolworths chief Reg Clairs, both of whom worked from offices above their supermarkets. "These men had an eye for symbolism, as well as cheap rent," Kohler wrote.

I worked at MoneyGram International part-time (more than a year)
My supervisor was great...always encouraging. She always took time during reviews to build me up and give me suggestions for continued improvement.
For me, sitting at a computer on the phone all day gets old. If I had stayed with them I would have tried to move to something other than front line customer service.
Have some way for employees to explore possible career paths within the company that seem to fit their strengths and passion(s) based on testing.

ProsProvides much needed competition for Western Union by offering superior competitive services at a lower cost. Without MoneyGram, Western Union would surely be able to have nearly a monopoly and would charge higher fees for its services. The ability to work remotely can save money on gas. I like that my desk phone is a direct number so I don't have to give an extension like I have at some companies I have worked for in the past. Having an attached parking ramp to park in for free is definitely a plus. While I might miss the skyway in downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, I do not miss the high priced parking they have.
ConsBenefits could be better as health co-payment are higher than any place I have ever worked before. There is way too much management and not enough people to do the real work in IT. Too many people in too little of space as they are moving people from other floors to one. Cubicles are inadequate for some jobs for the work involved.

Alonso not the only World Champion
With Fernando Alonso being crowned the 2006 Formula One World Champion yesterday in Sao Paolo, it is only fitting that we present awards for some "alternative" 2006 championships..
Worst hairstyle:
Jarno 'goldilocks' Trulli, with Fernando Alonso making a late charge with his Ronald McDonald do.
Best hairstyle:
No, not Jacques Villeneuve.. what's wrong with you man!?
Worst facial hair:
David Couldhard – George Clooney and Richard Gere are distinguished with their grey hair. David, your beard makes you look like a hobo!
Best facial hair:
Max Biaggi (yes, I'm being sarcastic!)
Worst team shirt of the year:
McLaren – A gradient from fluoro red to grey/white results in PINK! Pink is not the new black!! Please go back to black!
Best team shirt of the year:
McLaren – The black fireproof t-shirts the drivers wore were great. Now how about giving them a black race suit now and then?
Best timing:
Juan Pablo Montoya for joining McLaren this year.
Worst timing:
Sam Michael for becoming the Technical Director of Williams at the end of last year.
Mark Webber for joining Williams instead of Renault this year.
Luckiest driver:
Jenson Button for being forced to stay at BAR this year.
Unluckiest driver:
Kimi Raikkonen for every reason you can imagine.. Along with Giancarlo Fisichella for every other reason you can imagine!
Unluckiest team:
McLaren – for more DNFs in the last 10 laps of a race than all other teams put together.
Luckiest team:
Honestly, none spring to mind as this is an area Ferrari have completely dominated until this year.. I guess we'll give it to them again for their gift 'win' at Indianapolis!

We put this chandelier in our preteen daughters room and it is very pretty. She loves it. It is a creamy white and the surface is rough to appear distressed or antiqued. The crystals were very easy to put on.

Incitec Pivot upbeat on volume growth
PUBLISHED: 13 May 2013 09:23:00 | UPDATED: 14 May 2013 09:41:23PUBLISHED: 14 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 14 May 2013An increase in the explosives business offset decline on the fertiliser side, said Incitec Pivot. Photo: Greg McKenzie
Tim Binsted
Incitec Pivot managing director James Fazzino is confident his mining explosives business will benefit from resources companies focus on volume growth rather than new projects.
Mr Fazzino, who unveiled a better-than-expected 23 per cent drop in first-half profit on Monday, said explosive sales volumes to the Pilbara region had increased by 5 per cent against a backdrop of mining austerity.
"We are exposed to mining volumes, not commodity prices. The deposits are getting deeper, which can actually increase explosives use. We're not concerned about volumes," he said.
Earnings across the Dyno Nobel explosives business rose 7 per cent in the half despite a deteriorating outlook for coal and iron ore, mitigating the 19 per cent drop in fertiliser earnings.
Mr Fazzino reiterated his call for Australian politicians to follow the United States and create jobs through cheap gas as the explosives and fertiliser maker reported net profit after tax (NPAT) of $110.2 million for the six months to 31 March 2013, $33 million less than its first-half in 2012.
"Australia should learn from the US. The US policy keeps gas onshore to create value and jobs rather than focusing on exports. Absolutely, gas should be reserved. The US is going to create 3 million manufacturing jobs off the back of its shale boom."
Incitec's BEx [business excellence] initiative delivered $13 million in savings after $7 million of investment.
Mr Fazzino expects $30 million in efficiency gains will be extracted once the full $15 million is spent.
RBS Morgans analyst Belinda Moore said the stronger-than-expected result was solid, given difficult conditions.
"It was a decent beat for us.
"The key negative from the result is the lower guidance for Moranbah, which was below what most people would have expected. In terms of the BEx program, they are probably exceeding expectations."
Production at the $1 billion Moranbah ammonium nitrate plant in Queensland started last year. On Monday, 2013 production guidance from Moranbah was downgraded by 50,000 tonnes to 200,000 tonnes, while estimated incremental earnings before interest and tax were revised down from $75 million to $40 million.
Mr Fazzino admitted the plant had some issues. However, he is confident it will deliver acceptable returns.
Deutsche Bank analyst Mark Wilson said the profit result was actually negative because earnings were boosted by $27 million in capitalised interest, while operating earnings were $19 million below the bank forecast.
The combined weight of declining fertiliser prices and the high dollar drove earnings in the fertiliser segment down 19 per cent in the period, although the group remains committed to the fertiliser business.
"Here in Australia it's tough to be a manufacturing group but despite the challenges, IPF delivered earnings of about $50 million," Mr Fazzino said.
Incitec shares rose 3.5 per cent to $2.93 on Monday.The group declared a 75 per cent franked interim dividend of 3.4¢ per share, payable on July 2, 2013, representing a payout ratio of 50 per cent.

So I'd like to hear informed, or at least well thought out responses to the idea of sex under the age of 18. Now I know there may be an urge to respond emotionally to this issue in a way that may be hurtful or challenge either side so I'm going to stay neutral and silent in my own opinions until after I've seen some genuine discussion on the issue go. What do you think about all these people still in the age range for statuatory whether it be by age comparison or simply being too young by legal terms in general? Is it right that we have these laws in place? Should more be done to prevent sex in youth? Are these young high school students and below mentally, physically, and financially prepared to deal with the consequences of their sexual actions? Do you follow the research stating that these people are not prepared to make such decisions? It has been confirmed that teenagers react differently to stimuli both sexually and emotionally than most adults.

If you're both aiming to shed a few pounds, then tackle that exercise and diet regimen together. Who knows? Maybe having a furry partner will allow you to finally stick to your resolutions.

Guest Picks: Winter Comforts
Nothing says winter like plush furnishings, cozy nooks, soft throws and warm lighting. Let these products and decorator tricks transport you into winter in the most comfortable and stylish way possible. — Gabrielle from Savvy Home
Morgan Chair - $2,095
This oversize, charcoal-velvet armchair looks like you could just sink into it, wrap yourself in a warm throw and disappear for hours. It spells ultimate comfort.
Lattice Stool, Champagne - $295
Whoever has a comfortable reading chair also needs a side table on which to rest books, glasses and warm cups of tea. This champagne-glazed lattice stool is great because it is reminiscent of a snowflake.
Haleigh Ceramic Lamp - $197.80
Doesn't this ceramic, glazed lamp just scream winter wonderland with its cream color, chinoiserie shape and festive gold tassels?
Lacefield Designs Sahara Midnight Tassel Pillow - $166
There's something festive about tassels, and during the winter season you can never have too many throw pillows — two great reasons to get your hands on this fun pillow from Pure Home.
Outdoor Pillow, Blue Ikat - $85
This cool-toned ikat pillow is vaguely reminiscent of garlands and snowflakes. Somehow it just screams winter.
Cubes Throw, Orange and Camel - $295
It would be ludicrous to go through winter without a warm throw. I particularly like this Cubes throw by Jonathan Adler with its very trendy pattern. The burnt orange tones remind me of a roaring fireplace.
Feu de Bois Candle - $90
This is my single most favorite winter scent (apart from maybe my mother's Christmas cooking and baking). "Feu de bois" is french for "wood fire," and that's exactly what scent exudes from this little votive. It's heavenly.
The Big Book of Chic - $47.73
This is what I will be reading while roasting chestnuts by the fire. If the title doesn't convince you, I don't know what will.
Boston Swing Arm Lamp With Linen Shade - $294
You'll need the perfect swing arm sconces for all of the reading you'll be doing this winter. Put them over a sofa, near a reading chair or by the bed. For every use, these antique brass sconces with a soft linen shade are the perfect option.
Fusion Tufted Back Sofa - $2,090
Can you think of something better to sit on in winter than silky velvet? This soft blue sofa by Sandy Wilson is chic and elegant enough to host your lazy winter mornings.
Set of 1970s Michael Taylor Bronze and Steel Fireplace Tools
If you're lucky enough to have a fireplace, you must ensure that it is well appointed. These bronze and steel fireplace tools are perhaps a bit extravagant, but they sure will make an impact.
Senegalese Storage Basket Pink, Medium - $98
You'll also need a stylish basket to store a few logs and some leftover newspaper for the fire. If you're opting for classic fireplace tools, this quirky number will be the perfect balance and add a bit of color.
Metallic Suede & Hemp Rug - $195
A great trick to a comfortable-looking room is the art of layering rugs, or placing an inexpensive natural rug underneath a smaller, more colorful one. This metallic suede and hemp rug is reminiscent of tweed and adds subtle silvery pops, making it the perfect option for winter.
Kilim Rug With Black Border - $850
You've got a basic, natural rug, and now you need an colorful accent rug to layer over it. Options are endless, but I'm partial to this neon kilim number from Furbish Studio. It'll have you smiling every day.
Ankara Legged Ottoman - $243.80
Winter is the season to put your feet up, in perfect after-ski fashion. Maybe it's my idealized vision of great Colorado lodges, but this Navajo-inspired ottoman looks like it would be perfect for the job.
Alphabet Personalised Bone China Tea Cup and Saucer - $40.48
Who says winter says warm cups of tea? How about these gorgeous, monogrammed numbers by We Love Kaoru? They are handmade in England and decorated in 22 karat gold with any alphabet letter.
Soft Faux-Fur Throw, Lynx Print - GBP 149
Come the cold season, it's time to invest in a great throw for the foot of your bed. This faux fur lynx print throw adds a pop of wilderness to your bedroom in perfect Miles Redd fashion.
Saran Doormat, Orange - $50
No one in their right mind would go through winter without a doormat. This Saran doormat is made from coir and is just colorful and lively enough with its subtle, modern tribal print.
Aqua Gobi Embroidered Sheet Set - $145
There truly is nothing better to do on a cold winter weekend morning than stay in bed with a stack of magazines and a cup of coffee. What makes these special moments even better are crisp new sheets like these classic embroidered ones from Serena & Lily.

Meet This Grain: Oats
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, September 29, 2009
We're all pretty familiar with old-fashioned rolled oats, but there's more to this whole grain than oatmeal.
Oat Options
Rolled oats are the classic choice, but you can also find oats in the form of oat flour, oat bran and my favorite, steel cut oats. Steel cut oats (a.k.a. Irish oats) are shorter, thicker grains; they haven't been flatten or "rolled." You can cook them water just like rolled oats, and they have a nuttier flavor and crunchier texture. Steel cut oats do take a bit longer to cook (check the package for directions), but they're worth the effort. I like to cook them into large oatmeal batches ahead of time and store in the fridge — then I just pop them in the microwave as needed.
Why Are Oats "Healthy Eats"?
One cup of cooked oats has about 150 calories, 3 grams of healthy fat, 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. Oats also contain iron and energy-boosting B-vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin and niacin and are especially high in soluble fiber, the kind that helps lower cholesterol when you mix it into a healthy diet.
See why oatmeal made our list of foods that boost brain power.
What To Do With Oats
There are endless morning oatmeal variations (I've been on a cinnamon, blueberry and walnut kick lately), but you can add oats to homemade granola, cookies, pancakes, muffins and snack bars. The oats add fiber, flavor and help give foods a chewy texture. Oat flour and oat bran work well in bread, pancake and muffin recipes. You can even use oats on your skin — many homemade facial masks contain oats to help soothe and moisturize.
Many people ask me if instant oatmeal is a healthy sub for slower-cooking rolled oats and they are; just stick to the unflavored, unsweetened kind. Mix your own flavorings such as fresh or dried fruit or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Instant oatmeal cooks up quickly because it's been partially cooked and then dried. It's a time saver, but I like the texture of cooked rolled oats better.

Improved Calibration for Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry Using Generalized Regression Neural Networks
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 49, Issue 6, pp. 798-807 (1995)
Acrobat PDF (1045 KB)
Artificial neural networks have been recently used in different fields of science in applications ranging from pattern recognition to semi-quantitative analysis. In this work, two types of neural networks were applied to the problems of spectral interferences, matrix effects, and the measurement drift in ICP-AES. Their performance was compared to that of the more conventional technique of multiple linear regressions (MLR). The two types of neural networks examined were "traditional" multilayer perceptron neural networks and generalized regression neural networks (GRNNs). The GRNN is comparable to, or better than, MLR for modeling spectral interferences and matrix effects covering several orders of magnitude. In the case of an Fe spectral interference on Zn, the GRNN reduced the error from 81% to 24%, while MLR reduced the average error to only 49%. For matrix effects caused by large backgrounds of Mg (0-10,000 ppm) on Zn, average error was reduced to 55% from 67%. In the case of combinations of spectral overlaps and matrix effects, the GRNN reduced average error by approximately 10%. MLR performed poorly on systems involving matrix effects. GRNN is also a very promising tool for the correction of drift caused by fluctuations in power levels, reducing drift over a two-hour period from 2.3% to 0.6%. GRNNs, both by themselves and in multinetwork combinations, seem to be highly promising for the correction of nonlinear matrix effects and long-term signal drift in ICP-AES.

Sunday, July 12
Citizens Bank Park
Attendance: None
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Pedro Feliz's grand slam highlighted a five-run first inning and rookie J.A. Happ had another solid outing, as the Phillies completed a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh with a 5-2 win.
Feliz also doubled and Ryan Howard added a sacrifice fly for Philadelphia (48-38), which has won five straight and finished an incredible 9-1 on its 10- game homestand.
Happ (6-0) allowed one run on four hits and struck out four over seven innings.
"I was happy to end the (first) half like this," Happ said. "Now I can relax and really enjoy the break."
The Phillies will enter the All-Star break in sole possession of first place in the NL East for the second consecutive season.
Freddy Sanchez had an RBI double and Garrett Jones homered for the third consecutive game for the Pirates (38-50), who have lost seven of their last eight games and sit in the basement of the NL Central.
Pittsburgh starter Virgil Vasquez (1-3) only lasted 1 1/3 innings on the mound, surrendering five runs and four hits while walking three. Four relievers combined to limit the Phillies to just two hits the rest of the way. Jeff Karstens was especially effective for the Pirates, tossing 3 2/3 hitless innings with four strikeouts.
"I thought our bullpen did a great job and kept us in the game," said Pirates manager John Russell. "I was really proud of the way our bullpen responded."
After scoring five times in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday to erase a 7-3 deficit and stun the Pirates, Philadelphia carried the momentum into Sunday with a five-run first inning.
Jimmy Rollins led off with a walk and singles by Shane Victorino and Chase Utley loaded the bases. Howard, who contributed to Saturday's dramatic comeback with a game-tying, three-run homer off Matt Capps, hit a sac fly deep to center field to put the Phillies on the board.
Jayson Werth worked a walk two batters later to reload the bases for Feliz, who crushed a pitch over the left-field wall for his sixth career grand slam.
Happ was cruising along but walked Delwyn Young and Adam LaRoche to begin the fifth. Andy LaRoche lined out to Utley, who dove to the bag at second for the unassisted double play. Jack Wilson then popped out to end the inning.
Pittsburgh was able to break through in its next turn at the plate. Andrew McCutchen had a one-out single and Sanchez followed with an RBI double to the left-field corner, but Happ retired the next two batters on grounders to keep the damage to one run.
Ryan Madson pitched out of trouble in the eighth with the help of McCutchen's base running blunder. With runners on the corners and one out, Sanchez lofted a fly ball that Werth caught in right field. For whatever reason, McCutchen was running on the play and easily doubled off at first.
Jones homered off J.C. Romero to begin the ninth and account for the final score.

This sunny soap is made with an effervescent combination of Yuzu and 10x Orange Essential Oil.
This kit includes:
This kit is a little different than our other kits in that you can remove or get extra of each item in your shopping cart (and the price will adjust accordingly) before you check out. So you can just get what you need. Also please note that there are no printed instructions included with this kit, learn how to make this soap on the Soap Queen Blog here.
If you have never made soap from scratch before, please check out Anne-Marie's four part series on cold process before trying this recipe. It is really important to understand how to work with sodium hydroxide (lye) so that you are soaping on the safe side.
Reply from Bramble BerryHi Joshua! I'm glad you like the feel of the soap! In our tests, we found that the scent stayed well in the soap after four weeks. I'll be emailing you personally to help troubleshoot!

I have some dandelion wine and mead in the secondary for a while. I would like to share some with my co-workers but I would like to give them small amounts. Can you use the 4 oz jelly jars to "bottle" wine in? If not, any other ideas for a glass of wine sized bottle? Thanks, scott
I pass out baby bottles with wine in them under strict guidance that the jars are not for long term storage, but simply a way to get them home. Week tops.
What about these? You would need to buy the screw top caps for them but they look interesting for sample bottles.
What about beer bottles?
I use quart canning jars (or half gallon jars, when I can get my hands on them). Haven't had a problem, but wine doesn't last too long in this household. Will probably use gallon jugs, when the wine cellar gets built. So far, I am only aging the wine that tastes like crap...
Actually I bottle all my wine in beer bottles. I already have the bottles and I don't drink that much wine anyway. Perfect size for me. I was hoping for something half the size of a beer bottle for giving away enough to sample but not too much.
Know anyone in the airline industry? Sounds like you need those liquor sample bottles.

I know that I need to use bias cut binding to get it to go around nicely. Done. I know how to mitre corners and make that last join in a square/rectangle quilt, using my binding tool. (Leave an opening, 8-10 inches of tails etc...) But I have a 15 inch round topper that I want to bind. Normally when you make that last join you are using a 45 degree angle (more or less) to join the tails. Is it different when you have a circle? Can't find anything on the internet so any info you can share or point me to on the 'net is greatly appreciated. Same with any TNT tips or your experience. Thanks! -- Edited on 2/4/14 12:30 PM --

I finally found this tutorial. It is a bit hard to see/follow but the diagrams she uses seems to indicate that it is not a 45 degree angle like one would use in a square or rectangular quilt. (One with no curved edges.) Posting this tute in case any one else wants some help with this.
My first quilt I did rounded edges and used a 45 degree angle. No problems at all. When I have more time, I'll take a look at the video. :)
45% Same as for a straight edge.

Last year about this time I wrote a blog post about how the guys at Pheasants Forever had thought up a cool twist on the classic hunting road trip, a marathon five-state public-land pheasant-hunting trek dubbed the "Rooster Road Trip."
This is what I had to say about it then:
"I don't mind reading stories about hunts or fishing trips to destinations only hedge-fund managers can afford to visit. While they're entertaining in a way, they simply don't hold my interest for long. Much like the trips themselves, they're one-off reads, a bit of Walter Mitty escapism. But give me a story or a compelling narrative that's actually within the realm of possibility and I'll go back to it time and time again, especially if I can identify with some element of it.

Recently, at a shoot where I qualified at 600 yards, I heard the word "Berger" so often it was like working at Wendy's. These Bergers were not beef, but copper and lead; it seemed everyone and his uncle was handloading the creations of Walt Berger, a Hall of Fame benchrest shooter—including myself.
Berger makes target, varmint, hunting, and tactical bullets, all to match standards. The ones I was shooting were the second category, called Hunting VLD (for Very Low Drag), .308, 155-grain. VLDs are made with J4 copper jackets, lead cores, very small hollow points, a very long secant ogive, and a pronounced boattail base. They come in 6mm through .308. What I can tell you also is that they are exceedingly aerodynamic. The wind can't seem to grab them, and they drop far less than the numbers say they should. Every time I estimated how much to hold over at long range, they hit higher than I guessed.

The state of Lousiana is beginning the long process of rebuilding fish stocks in the Pearl River, which suffered a massive fish kill earlier this year after a paper mill's illegal discharge.
From this story in the St. Tammany News:
Wednesday afternoon, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries started one step in the long process of rehabilitating the ecosystem of the Pearl River. The LDWF released 30,000 channel catfish and 24,000 bluegill fingerlings into the river at the Highway 59 Boat Launch in Pearl River, in an effort to boost the fish population back to its pre-August levels.
Over 500,000 fish in the river died from oxygen depletion in both St. Tammany and Washington parishes in August, after the Temple-Inland paper plant in Bogalusa released "black ink," a combination of burnt wood pulp and chemicals in quantities that far exceeded levels set by the Department of Environmental Quality. Some of the fish that died were the rare Gulf sturgeon, which is on the federal endangered species list. Also killed were trout, eels, and mussels.

Remember Pete, the orphaned and now-deceased Vermont moose at the heart of a debate over game farms? Apparently Pete's not the only thing that's gone.
From this story in The Boston Globe:
The northern Vermont game preserve where Pete the Moose lived and died is to close, state officials said yesterday, moving Vermont a step closer to ending the practice of allowing wildlife to be imported into the state and fenced in on private hunting grounds. Walt Driscoll, a member of the state Fish and Wildlife Board, said the owner of the Big Rack Ridge hunting preserve told him he planned to close the preserve in Irasburg.

If you didn't cash in that get-out-of-work pass on Friday, do it today—or extend it to give yourself a four-day weekend to fill your tag with a tank whitetail.
The chase phase is a period of frenetic activity for whitetail bucks, and today will be especially busy. Local bucks will be in a lather from the first does that have entered estrus. They have smelled the scent of a hot female in the air and might have pursued or even fought for her. Those on the losing end of such a skirmish are not content to skulk about. Instead, they turn into heat-seeking missiles, intent on finding the next doe with an open dance card.

Texas is unarguably the last best place for hunting wild bobwhite quail. But in the wake of a brutal drought and fire season, many Texas quail hunters are simply writing off the entire season.
From this story in the Austin American-Statesman:
I was on a large ranch in Shackelford County northeast of Abilene last weekend. Lots of country, too many deer, few cattle and no quail. I was there for deer, but I was aware of the quail. It was brutal. Two mornings in a bow blind on a perfect hillside on opening weekend of the quail season. No wind and almost a frost. I heard a grand total of two.
That would be TWO quail, not two coveys. The next day I heard none. Granted, I couldn't be everywhere on that ranch at one time but there were other people there who never heard a single whistle. So, as if there were any doubt before today, I'm officially declaring quail season 2011-12 over, dead, defunct, no breath left in its body. Obviously, I'm
a little late to the party on this.

Remember this colossal Illinois nontypical? We reported on the buck in this very space two short falls ago, and we mentioned it in our annual "Booner Awards," which highlights the latest entries in the Boone & Crockett record book, in the magazine the following summer. The 37-point goliath arrowed by Chris Kiernan in 2009 fell just short of breaking the Prairie State archery record for nontypicals, after a panel-scoring session of the Pope & Young Club earlier this year. Now, the mounted head is the property of the state of Illinois, and Kiernan—suddenly getting a very different type of publicity—is charged with 41 separate wildlife violations, some related to the very buck pictured here.

Twenty years ago or so, Keith McCafferty wrote a great story for us called "The Quality of Mercy," in which he described watching a doe that was lying curled up underneath some pines, gently eating snowflakes as they drifted down. His freezer was empty, but he couldn't bring himself to shoot her.
This past September, I watched a young Utah bull elk come down to a pond for his mid-morning drink. He trotted into the water up to his chest, sucked up a couple of gallons and then did something I've never seen an animal do before. He splashed his left antler–he was a 5×5–in the water, giving it a good soaking.

A wildlife biologist with a history of advocating feral cat control to protect wild birds was recently found guilty of animal cruelty for allegedly trying to poison feral cats near her Washington, D.C. apartment.
From this story on sciencemag.org:
A former researcher at the Smithsonian National Zoo's Migratory Bird Center has been found guilty of misdemeanor attempted cruelty to animals for sprinkling poison atop cat food intended for feral cats living in Washington, D.C. Yesterday's verdict, delivered by a judge in the D.C. Superior Court, marks the latest turn in the prosecution of wildlife biologist Nico Dauphiné, an outspoken advocate of the need to protect bird populations from feral cats.

The Benton Panther soccer team won the 6A South Conference Thursday night, defeating Lake Hamilton in penalty kicks at home. Tied at 2 at the end of regulation, Benton keeper Eric Powers "made a great save" on the last attempt by Lake Hamilton to secure the victory. "If we had loss, there would have been a four-way tie for first," coach Wes Ables said. "We would have had the four seed [in the state tournament]. So it was pretty important to get the win."
BRYANT — With a win Thursday the Hornets clinched their third 7A Central title in three years, as well as a No. 1 seed in the 7A State Tournament next week in Fort Smith. Bryant split a doubleheader with Little Rock Catholic Thursday, winning the first game 3-2 with a comeback rally and walk-off hit in the bottom of the last inning. Tied 2-2 with two outs, senior Lucas Castleberry brought in senior Evan Jobe from second base to win the game.
BENTON — The Benton Lady Panthers defeated Lake Hamilton 3-2 Thursday night thanks in part to a complete game by junior Lauren White. After cruising in the first two innings, only allowing one walk with two strikeouts, White gave up two runs in the third inning that tied the game at 2-2. With two outs, Lake Hamilton reached on a walk and a single and scored on a two-run double.
BENTON — The Benton Lady Panthers picked up another conference win Wednesday, defeating El Dorado 8-1 at home. However, coach Eric Ryan said as far as their standing in the conference is concerned, everything is still up in the air. "We are just trying to get through and get ready for state," Ryan said. "We want to try to play the best ball we can and whatever happens, happens. "But we just have to keep going, improving and working hard."
The Benton Lady Panthers are looking to secure at least a No. 2 spot in the 6A State Tournament as they host El Dorado today and Lake Hamilton tomorrow. After losing to Sheridan last week in 10 innings, the Lady Panthers currently sit in second place in the 6A South with two losses in conference, while Sheridan is 12-1. Benton will face the El Dorado Lady Wildcats today at 4:30 p.m. at the Lady Panther Softball Complex. El Dorado currently has six seniors on the team and is fresh off a 2-1 loss to Lake Hamilton.
This morning rumors were abound that the Bryant Public Schools System was ready to name a new athletic director. When asked if a candidate had been chosen, Bryant director of communications Jessica Bollen said, "No." But, Bollen said the Bryant School Board will hold a personnel hearing at 5 p.m. today in the Professional Development Center. Bollen said the board will discuss "some recommended hirings." However, Bollen said she could not confirm whether the meeting, which will go into executive session, will include any discussion of the athletic director position.
Two Arkansas Razorbacks coaches will be the guests of honor at this year's Annual Saline County Razorback Club Fish Fry, which will be held Thursday at Bishop Park in Bryant. Wide receivers coach Kris Cinkovich and offensive line coach Chris Klenakis will be on hand to speak, answer questions, take photos and sign autographs. Mark Robinson, director of football operations, will act as the master of ceremonies after former state Sen. Shane Broadway turns over the microphone. Bob Garrett, president of the Saline County Razorback Club, said the event is "laid back" and a "lot of fun."
The Bryant Lady Hornet's defeated the Van Buren Lady Pointers 4-1 in 7A conference soccer action Monday night at Van Buren. The girls were lackadaisical in the cold light rain and 49 degree weather as the score was 0-0 at the half. Bryant's first three scores in the second half came on free kicks. Tara Hendricks put Bryant on the board when she connected on a 47-yard free kick that caromed off the keeper for a 1-0 lead with 21:43 left in the game.
Playing baseball for Bryant High School was a lifelong dream of Tyler Brown. Now the 18-year-old son of Brad and Shelley Brown is making a name for himself on the diamond as the starting second baseman for the Hornets. As the second batter in the Hornets' lineup, Brown, a senior, has a .421 batting average on the season, as well as 17 RBIs and five doubles. Head coach Kirk Bock described Brown as a "great leader."
After going undefeated in conference play during the regular season, Glen Rose lost its first game of the 3A-5 District Tournament Saturday. However, the Lady Beavers will still play as a No. 3 seed this week in the 3A Regional Tournament held at Harding Academy in Searcy. Had Glen Rose won Saturday, it would have faced Harmony Grove in the finals. The Lady Cardinals were scheduled to face Cutter Morning Star today in the championship, but inclement weather forced the game to be postponed until Tuesday — possibly Wednesday depending on how the weather fares.

My mother (still hard to believe) is no longer, physically, with us. While she was living I did my best to keep our relationship on an even keel. I did this, partially, by refusing some of her wishes, no matter how well-intended or how much sense they made. When I drove her the twenty-five minutes or so to the nearest Kroger to do her shopping, I acknowledged that yes, she was very wise to do it on a Tuesday. Tuesday is Senior Citizen Day and shoppers over the age of 55 received a 5% discount. At least once or twice in the car and then again in the store itself, my mother would implore me to sign up. I qualified after all and, such savings! My standard answer was "I'll think about it." Then we'd split up and I'd spend my usual forty dollars while my mother – she lived alone – proceeded to drop a hundred bucks or more.
"Two turkeys?"
"I've got a coupon."
"Four gallons of milk?"
"I'm going to freeze it."
"Can you freeze milk?"
"You can freeze anything."
"How about eggs?"
"Probably, you can."
(Mom didn't like the puny freezer at the top of her refrigerator so she bought a regular, upright one for the garage. It stood catty-corner to the extra refrigerator.)
So I'm checked out, waiting and here comes Mom, pushing a cart that really needs a tow truck. And where is she headed? Self-checkout.
"You know how to do this?"
"I just let the lady do it for me."
"Mom, it's not her job."
"Then what is her job?"
Mom and the Kroger employee get on famously. That's what my mother thinks. She can't hear the woman mumbling under her breath as she responds, a dozen times, to the pop-up message on our checkout screen – "The Attendant Has Been Notified to Assist You." Just when I think we're finished, Mom holds up a handful of…
"I've got coupons!"
Here comes the Attendant, back again, her hand-held scanner drawn like the .45 she probably wishes it was.
"Now, M'am, this one here is two weeks old."
"So just push the little button, it will go through."
"I can't do that, M'am."
"I won't tell on you, honest."
In the parking lot, I'm struggling with the cart while Mom is pouring over the receipt. It's the length of a party streamer and it flutters merrily in the breeze.
"Oh look, she did it for me. She made good on that expired coupon!"
"You'll get her fired."
"They fire her, I'll burn the place down."
Groceries finally in the trunk and us in the car, my mother holds the receipt triumphantly, an inch from my face.
"What am I looking at?"
"I saved nearly 27 dollars with my Kroger card."
"That's great, Mom."
"My Senior Citizen discount was almost five dollars."
"That could be you."
"I'll think about it."
"Pull over to the gas pumps. I'm going to spend my reward points."
"Your what?"
"Three cents off a gallon, for nuttin', for money I would have spent anyway. How can you beat that?"
You can't beat it, I guess and so we go to the gas pumps in the far corner of the parking lot and fill up.
"Now that's what I call a successful shopping trip. Home, James!"
It's late Tuesday morning. I'm just back from Kroger and, after getting everything put away, I call my wife.
"I saved nearly 39 dollars with my Kroger card."
"That's great, Honey. Maybe you should lie down a minute and rest."
"You know? That's a good idea. Maybe I will, maybe I will."
"Did you get your discount?"
"You know I did."
"Good for you. Fran would be proud. Hello? Honey? Are you there?"
"Sorry. I just had a 'moment'."
"That's all right, I understand."
"Hey, what do you think about an extra freezer, for the garage?"

Initially we found it tough to find but once we had our bearing the proximity to the eiffel tower made it easy to find our way back. The room was clean and warm and while we spent most of our time out there was plenty available for breakfast and other services. Would return.

By Neil Thompson (01-05-09) - Regarded by many to be the pound-4-pound number one fighter today; Manny Pacquaio has won world titles at Flyweight, Super Bantamweight, Featherweight and Lightweight. He also turned in a spotless performance at welterweight against a legend in Oscar De La Hoya. He has also faced elite fighters such as Barrera (twice); Morales (x3) and Juan Manuel Marquez (x2). Now before I go on I would like to point out that I think Pacquaio is a true world class performer and as a 4 weight champion will be regarded in the future as an all-time great.. However, I have been pondering over a couple of questions for a long time now; Is Manny as good as his legion of fans think? and, like he was against Floyd, Is Ricky Hatton once again out of his depth? In truth and in both cases I would have to answer NO. Ricky Hatton is not a fighter that has been able to rise through the weight divisions. Being short and squat he has been limited to shine in the Junior Welterweight division alone. His 2 trips to the 147 division were not impressive and he came back down to 140 where his own attributes of strength and aggression have a more brutal effect. This should not tarnish Rickys credentials as many great fighters, such as Marvin Hagler, have limited themselves on one division. Hatton has faced three elite level fighters in Floyd Mayweather, Kostya Tyszu and Castillo. He impressively stopped Castillo (although the Mexican was not the force he once was), he out-lasted and beat the heavy handed counter puncher Kostya Tsyzu in a war of attrition, but was outclassed and out-smarted by the silky defensive master in Floyd Mayweather. Despite the Mayweather set-back, Hatton has enjoyed an impressive career but his record does not match that of Manny Pacquaios achievements. However, this fight is at 140 where Hatton has been the dominant fighter for 4 years and being the man who beat the man... he is the only real world champion at Junior Welterweight. From a certain perspective, I would have to say that Pacquaios glorious career flatters to deceive. Regardless his achievements are still very impressive but some of his biggest wins have come against former legends past their best (this can be argued about Hattons opponents too). For the time being lets forget about the Oscar De La Hoya fight and concentrate on Mannys other career defining performances. When Manny burst onto the international scene he faced and destroyed a still formidable Marco Antonio Barrera. At his time Barrera had slowed down a bit but was still quite rightly considered the best in his weight class. Manny looked awesome that night and was then matched up against his future nemeses; Juan Manuel Marquez. Manny was then being billed as the Mexican Killer and as he decked Marquez 3 times in the opening round it appeared that this nick-name was spot on. Then something strange happened; Manny was out-boxed by the Mexican counter-puncher for the majority of the remaining 11 rounds, yet Pacquiao was lucky enough to be given a dubious drawn decision (in my opinion at least). After failing to give Marquez an immediate rematch; Manny opted to take on another Mexican legend in Eric Morales. By this time Morales had just been outpointed in his rubber match with Barrera and was now considered to be on the slide. Despite this, this slower version of Morales managed to comfortably outpoint Pacquaio. To be fair Pacquiao quickly secured a return and won comfortably as he also did in their third and final fight. The Mexican Killer was now back on track and looked to move up in weight once again. Pacquiao beat Barrera again in a more competitive match than the first but Manny was still a comfortable winner. He then gave Marquez a return and despite being close; many felt that Marquez was once again robbed of his rightful victory. Pacquiao refused Marquez another rematch and instead chose to move up to Lightweight. For a former Flyweight this was another bold move from Manny but what tainted this impressive manoeuvre was the fact that he chose to face the weakest alphabet champion the division had to offer in David Diaz. Even though David Diaz was the weakest of the Lightweight champs; it was still thought that the additional, size, power and strength would at least make Pacquaio struggle. In reality though Pacquaio, to his credit, made it look easy but considering the quality of his opponent; Manny's impact on the Lightweight division was limited. Then came the fight at 147 with Oscar De La Hoya and almost everyone apart from the Pacquaio-faithful had predicted a win for the much bigger De La Hoya. We all knew Oscar wasnt at his peak but no one except Freddie Roach knew how much he had faded. During the first episode of 24/7 Roach also stated that once he saw weight-loss injection marks on Oscars fore-arms; all doubt was removed as to who would win. Indeed, weeks before the fight took place; Roach had said time and time again Manny will win because Oscar cant do it no more. Afterall Roach had previous trained Oscar and after his fight with Steve Forbes, he knew the Mexican-American had very little left. Combine Oscars decline with the dehydration of making the welterweight limit made Oscar a totally spent force. Anyone can see this when watching the fight itself as Oscar reflexes were gone; his timing non-existent and his once legendary speed had deserted him. Despite this you cannot be too harsh on Pacquiao as he simply beat the man put in front of him .... and he didnt only beat Oscar; he slaughtered him. It was another spotless performance but another one that flattered to deceive. I do believe that Pacquiao deserves to be, at the least, in the top 2 of the P4P ratings but when you look at it; who apart from Marquez can compete with him for that prestigious distinction of being number one? I know one thing for sure; despite being a truly excellent fighter; he is not as good as his over-eager fans think. Please dont get me wrong; Manny is a true world class fighter, a fighter that has managed to rise through the weights becoming a multi-division champion and has fought at a high level for a long time. On the flip-side; unlike Floyd Mayweather, he is no defensive genius or a master-boxer almost impossible to outpoint. In recent years, I have seen him out-boxed by a faded Morales and twice by Marquez. Pacquaio is beatable and I have seen nothing to suggest he will have an easy time with Hatton. For someone who has not had to endure a tough fight above the Super Featherweight limit, taking on Hatton at Junior Welterweight could prove to be a very tough challenge especially if it turns into a physically taxing war of attrition. I can see many areas where Hatton can enjoy success. Those that think Manny will treat Hatton the way he did David Diaz are in for a surprise. Hatton like every fighter has his weaknesses but I am certain that Hatton is a level above David Diaz not to mention bigger, stronger, faster and with better all round skills than the Mexican Diaz. Lets remember that Pacquaio has not been truly tested above the Super Featherweight division. What happens then when Manny finds himself having to dig deep against a stronger fighter who is aggressive, fast and fresh enough to manoeuvre Manny to the ropes in a way that De La Hoya couldnt? Hatton is much closer to his peak than Oscar was. This combined with Hattons superior natural strength and with the subsequent power advantage will test Pacquaio in ways in which he hasnt been tested before at this weight. Pacquiao has not been in a competitive fight since his days at Super Featherweight and this is why I suspect he will struggle to cope with Hatton at 140. If Pacquiao can indeed turn in another spotless performance I will be very surprised and also very impressed. As for my prediction? Well its a tough call and even though I am more of a Hatton fan I am still struggling to predict this one. There are ways in which I see Pacquiao using his southpaw stance, impressive footwork and speed to outbox and frustrate his opponent. There are also times that I see Hatton overwhelming Pacquaio with the strength, power and aggression that Manny has not endured before. One thing I am sure on is that this will be an edge-of-your-seat type of fight; a good matchup of styles and a fight close to a 50-50 contest. So since I am struggling to make up my mind I will go with my gut and predict an upset win for Hatton. I see this being competitive until the end but I feel Hatton will force a stoppage somewhere around the 9th round. Many of you will think I am letting my heart rule my head and you could be right, but I am a whole lot more confident in Hatton beating Pacquaio than I was for Hatton beating Floyd. Styles make fights and in Pacquaio; Hatton should find an opponent more willing to trade and brawl than Floyd Mayweather was. People have been saying that Pacquaio will beat Hatton in a similar fashion to Mayweathers triumph. But Floyd beat Ricky by being almost impossible to manhandle or to hit cleanly. Pacquaio is a completely different animal to that of Floyd and Pacquaio's defensive prowess and all round boxing skills are not on Floyds level. With this in mind; I feel this will be a hotly contested fight going one way then the other. I see Pacman having his moments but eventually Hattons strength, aggression and power overwhelming Manny. To beat Hatton you need to be big enough, strong enough or plain crafty enough to resist Hattons bullying style, and I dont think Pacquiao is. Despite all what I have written, I accept that Pacquiao will start the betting favourite and deservedly so. I also believe that even if Hatton does win he will not be recognised the P4P number one; that honour will rightfully go to Marquez, a fighter that in my eyes at least (and in the eyes of many neutral fans) has already proven more than a match for Manny Pacquiao. My prediction of a Hatton win is more to do with the extra size, power and strength that the Junior Welterweight division brings, more than a difference in skill levels. I do feel that Pacmans team are under-estimating Hatton; Ricky is deceptively fast of both hand and foot, he is also not as one-dimensional as some people think. I cant wait for this fight and, whatever the result, it should be a classic. I have enjoyed following both fighters careers and both seem to be very likeable people outside of the ring as well as being equally ruthless inside it. I look forward to reading your comments but remember this is only an opinion of one boxing fan and this sport is all about opinions. Even the most knowledgeable fans, experts and pundits get things wrong and if I am proved wrong then there will be no excuses from me. Both fighters are close to their peak and both fighters have that warriors spirit which should make this a night to remember. Thank you for reading.

great job! high five!Submitted by doggone (not verified) on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 7:57am.
You think that because something has been going on for hundreds of years it should be allowed in modern society? By your thinking, we should still have slavery, witch trials, public hangings, duels to the death and be ruled by hereditary kings? "Read your history"?! Many of us have - but very few want to relive it. »
