October 4, 2013, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., in Albuquerque, New Mexico.This is welcome news, as the public comment process was twice plagued with technical issues that made submitting comments impossible for days on end. Further, the FWS came under recent scrutiny after the organization P.E.E.R. found that they had excluded 3 of the nation's top wolf experts from the mandated peer review process. These scientists were banned because they had signed a letter along with 13 other scientists expressing their disagreement with the science of Secretary Jewell's plan. We hope that Interior Secretary Jewell and the FWS will take these additional 45 days to listen to the hundreds of thousands of people that have already spoken out against this plan in addition to the scientists referenced above. We will be using these additional days and weeks to continue to organize against this unscientific plan, both online and in-person at the public hearings. The ESC has connected a one-of-a-kind network of scientists, legal experts, advocates, and others to build support for maintaining protections for wolves. Please click here to send an email to Secretary Jewell asking that the FWS maintain existing protections for still-recovering wolves and consider supporting the ESC's work to protect wolves.

Please stop the wolves from being hunted to extinction. Please bring in Scientists who can explain what is happening now, and the ramifications it will cause in the future. Please take time to really study wolves, and stop this senseless slaughter. Lastly, please listen to the people who care about wildlife in all it's glory, which is the majority of us as Americans. You're working for the greater good for all citizens of this wonderful country, please remember this too.
Please keep wolves protected so future generations can enjoy their majestic nature for years to come!!
RESPECT to all living things on earth!
This beautiful ,life giving Earth ,is under siege. Her ecosystem are being devastated or destroyed. Her creatures and other life forms are what keeps these ecosystems health and balanced. Its been a perfect system ,until man entered the picture. For centuries he has destroyed or damaged everything he can lay waste to. And now over time , with man's technology, he has injected, drilled ,dug, cut ,bulldozed, raped and destroyed her natural resource, all for greed and power. Never once looking back to see the waste land he leaves behind – not even caring about the effects on life. Now he has a vital creature in his sights. Why – because of hunters, gun clubs, gun sales, Fish and Wildlife, tour groups,ranchers and the most destructive lobbyist and politicians . This is done for power, greed , pleasure of the kill and ignorance. This ignorance will end the wolf. Who for years biologist and scientist have worked to protect and keep them in the wild. They keep the checks and balance of the wilds ecosystem healthy. By culling deer and elk herds ,and other prey from over population and disease. When these species become over populated, they starve or destroyed trees and vegetation ,which are vital for a healthy ecosystem. Which in turn has a chain reaction on other life. We need to stick with the Earth design ,that was perfected , long before man entered the picture. We need to stop playing God. Human greed is on steroids and along with our extreme ignorance, there won't be one wild animal left on the planet: as usual, the ugliness inside humans destroy what little beauty we have left.
I strongly oppose cruelty to animals. It's unbearable to see any living being suffering. Leave them in peace, they have just as much right to live on planet Earth as the rest of us!!!!
When wolves were reintroduced where I live in Idaho, they were not welcomed. But they thrived because of the excellent management for FWS by the Nez Perce Indian Nation. Why Indians? Because the wolf was a sacred animal to this and many Indian tribes, and considered a wise teacher of how to live, care for one's family and be an efficient hunter who did not waste its food. I covered the reintroduction as an independent radio journalist and followed the Nez Perce wolf biologists in the field, as well as in Yellowstone Park. I have been very lucky to see many wolves in the wild –35 in one day in the Park! — so it makes me crazy to see how Western leaders and our Congressmen in D.C. are working so hard to see them become extinct again. I expect better from the Obama Administration. Allowing the wanton killing of wild wolves across the Northern Rockies is wrong-headed. It upsets the social order of a wolf family, so yearlings and pups without parents begin killing livestock instead of their normal prey. They are simply trying as orphans to survive. It is insane what we are doing and the Obama Administration and Western state fish and game departments are all ignoring the latest science on wolves from studying the Yellowstone wolves — they are now considered a keystone species for a healthy ecosystem. They are the canary in the mineshaft. If we don't stop killing them so ruthlessly — this is NOT management — we will never restore them to their important role in nature. The Indians knew this truth. We must keep them on the ESA and protect them until the polarization and hatred dissipates from elk hunters, livestock owners, and trophy hunters. We need to learn to respect the wolf and we're far, far from that now.
I live in Ohio and travel to Wyoming/Montana once or twice every year to see the wildlife and especially wolves. They are such an important part of the ecosystem and I just hope the people deciding their fate are aware of this fact, not to mention the countless number of people who come from all over the world to see them and generate millions of dollars for the economy. The last time I was in Yellowstone I met a man from England who came to the US with the sole purpose of seeing a wolf in the wild. PLEASE protect them!
I live in and write to you from Tasmania to tell you that I am very much concerned about the fate of the wolves in your country. You may know that Tasmania was once home to the Tasmanian Tiger, the animal featuring in the William Dafoe movie The Hunter. You can find also information here: http://www.dpiw.tas.gov.au/inter.nsf/webpages/bhan-53777b
The Tasmanian Tigers were abundant in Tasmania before European settlement in 1803. Those unique marsupial carnivores fell into rapid decline between 1886 and 1909, when the Tasmanian government encouraged people to hunt the iconic predator by paying a bounty for carcasses. They were hunted, trapped and poisoned. Now – everybody would love to get them back!
This is exactly what is proposed to be done to the wolves! By your government!
Some of these killings are so vile and cruel – it is heart breaking! Facebook has a few pictures of the atrocities committed by trappers and would be hunters.
The wolves will become extinct if not protected and we will not be able to get them back.!
They do not deserve the hate and vileness! Farmers and ranchers ought to be more thoughtful about their cattle and protect them as still can be done by non violent means!
One needs only to meet a wolf in person to know how special this very sentient being is. Wolves are not just important to the entire ecosystem but to us as humans, as well. as a part of that ecosystem.
I hope my voice will be heard…Please help the wolf…Reintroduce the wolf to New York State…we have an over abundance of deer…I have never had the opportunity to see a wild wolf and feel that I should have the right to see a pack…We need to educate people on the good wolves do to ecosystems…How variety of animals thrive in the wild…Because of wolves…Hunters and Cattlemen cannot be the only group that makes decisions on what happens to wolves. Save wolves and feed the wild mustangs since my taxpayer dollars are paying for their care….
I've visited Mission Wolf and did meet Merlin there. It is a wonderful sanctuary and has done so much to help educate the public about wolves, as this story has shown. They are beautiful animals. Yes, wolves are predators, just like the mountain lions, hawks, snakes, HUMANS, etc. They all keep the ecosystem in line and all deserve to live on this great earth of ours. Who are we to decide who lives and who does not? I fear that de-listing wolves will put a target on their back.

Just published a commentary on an unusual meeting of minds between ranchers and wolves in The Huffington Post. Here's the link:
I am requesting that you reconsider the delisting of wolves. We have been down this road before, why go backwards when there are so many different ways to go forward that doesn't include hunting these beautiful creatures to extinction again. You are about to head down the wrong side of the fork in the road again. How can wolves not be endangered when they are not seen in every state. I remember recently watching a show on NatGeo recently where they were shocked to see the 1st wolf in decades in NV. The !ST?? You quote the cost of the loss to ranchers for animals killed by wolves, but do they know for a fact the it is wolves? We have encroached on the lands of many animals who have no choice but to come closer to civilization for their food.
What about the cost, labor and personal commitments made by the amazing people who worked decades to bring these beautiful creatures back from the point of extinction?
I ask please work with the scientist who have studied the wolves for many years, for a better non-lethal way of making the ranchers and us, the ones praying for the safety of all wolves, happy.
Thank you
I humbly ask that Wolves be kept safe under the Endangered Species Act. Wolves are an integral part of our ecosystem, they greatly help to keep Deer and Elk herds healthy and balanced. This is a scientifically proven fact. Science and Ecology should not be ignored in this case.
Vilainized and misunderstood, hunted to extinction before, we cannot and should not allow this barbaric part of our American history to repeat itself again. This would be one more example of how the greed and the exploitations of man can and will leave this planet barren by poking gaping holes into our ecosystem. Unbalance is good for no one. It has been proven over time again and again. De-listing will create chaos among Wolves, among herds of their pray and eventually among man.
Let's think outside the box, let's give them a chance.
There are non lethal methods that are cost effective for ranchers and management to use to protect livestock if need be. Wolves deserve to have a full recovery.
Thank You!
In the early 1900's Wolves were hunted and trapped to the brink of extinction and only with the act of government protection was the light of survival once again on. With the current anti-wolf sentiment emotionally running high and with modern technology and firepower at hand, the total annihilation of wolves could be a very real reality! The Wolf is a part of our nation's heritage and an intricate member of the very Ecological Balance of Nature! What a tragedy it would be for us all, if they existed as wild and free only in a page in history! Please re-think the far out reaching effects and reconsider delisting of these majestic animals! If there is no reprieve, the doors to slaughter will be opened, including the use of methods which results in euthanasia by torture (as in steel traps and poisons)! Please reconsider and give the Wolf a chance to survive without a constant fear of annihilation!
There are so many things wrong with the de-listing of the wolves in this country. People have made the wolves into savage, brutal killers for hundreds of years, through rumor and story alike. Much like the stories of old, the image of an intelligent yet intentionally brutal murdering animal, is archaic. Yet we continue to be fascinated by it. It's an image that should be taken out for good. We know the facts. Wolves, much like humans only attack or kill for certain reasons. Food, and when they are being threatened.
They kill to eat, the same way we eat animals that have been killed and processed for us. So, just because we are the 'dominant' species on the planet, we're the only ones allowed to kill for food? I think not. If that's the case the Eco-system is in grave danger of collapsing into a downward, unstoppable spiral. If ranchers do not want wolves killing their stock, they should keep them out of the known territories of the wolves' pack. I've read many stories about ranchers who have claimed grazing lands that were known hunting areas for local packs. I've even read about a rancher who left a small herd out in a grazing area alone, knowing there were wolves in the area. This rancher left no one to watch or protect the cattle and then complained when one of them turned up dead. If this rancher had been truly concerned, they would have kept the beasts (the cattle) in sight, stayed with them and watched them while they grazed. If it was a multi-day site there should have been a per-established watch set up.
If wolves are threatened, they will exhaust every resource they have. Running, hiding, growling, swiping with their paws, fur being raised, and even the occasional snap of their jaws. Only if the threat persists AND proves to be something potentially fatal, with the wolf attack.
Do we not have guns, and other means of protection in our home? Are we not taught to do everything in our power to ward off a threat before resorting to violence and death? We will yell, threaten, bluff, fight, and even resort to making a scene in order to avoid unnecessary violence. When it becomes clear that we have no other choice we also will kill whatever is threatening us.
Wolf attacks on humans are rare, and usually there is a form of provocation. Due to loss of habitat and food many wolves feel unusually cornered. They feel like they are being chased, and have very little room left to run. We are the cause of this. By taking over their territory in the name of progress we are forcing them to become the monsters we have always heard about. Why should they suffer for our actions?
I must ask, if we are the ones making them into savage, brutal killing monsters…are we not the bigger monsters?
don't take wolves off the list, they are vulnerable,they are a vital and important part of the eco ;system.you cant afford to lose them please reconsider.
Please don't delist the wolves, use non lethal on the grazing land, can help elk and deer more strong and healthy, has the right to live on the earth, not need to kill them for sport men's enjoy and torture, traps cruelty, most black market selling in China, see the suffers and painful for 72 hours in trapped! Please take care with the wolves and coyotes, good for ecosystem. I never see wild wolves in California nothing, few wildlife because the wildlife game took many birds, bobcats, coyotes, fox, etc. they are the same we are livings! Why so much must delist them only 6,000 to 10,000 wolves in America …
Please keep these beautiful animals alive.
Please do not go through with the delisting of the wolf, this animal has not recovered and need further protecting from hunters and such. Keep the wolf on the endangeredlist, we as humans can co-exist with all animals if we so desire.
Please protect the wolves, keep these beautiful animals alive and propagating. They must survive. We can co-exist.
Please keep these Beautiful animals protected. They are just trying to survive. They were here way before we were and they deserve respect and protection. We can coexist. Let's work to make a better place to live for both animal and man kind. Peace, Respect and Love.
IS Jewell,
Please provide the public with the following information… the above mentioned FWS falsified documents including the names of all individuals involved, the list of all contributors to FWS (names & donation amounts), all FWS research conducted on wolf population that addresses how to keep wolves out of their territory without the use of firearms, traps, baiting, poisoning, or torture, and all documents evidencing the FWS use of the legal system to charge/ prosecute individuals who violate laws intended to protect the wolves.
The failures within the FWS couldn't be more obvious. For those of us following the news on the slaughtering of wolves, we are aware of the following… the FWS has no plans to develop a system that would protect both live stock and wolves. Instead they take bribes from ranchers who continue the slaughtering. Falsifying documents to "delist" the wolves allows the killing to continue. A short 45 day reprieve will prevent all protestors/ experts from coming forward. Pushing the delisting through results in promises kept and bribe money exchanging hands.This money is more important than protecting wolves, which just happens to be their job.
The FWS is looking pathetic and worthless. I am disgusted as many of us have worked very hard to make a difference only to find out we have been betrayed. It's good to know that everyone is replaceable, including all FWS employees. Thank you for your time, Teri
This senseless slaughter of our American wildlife must stop, especially the wolves. Wolves are an important part of our eco-system. At the rate we're going, there won't be any wildlife left for our grandchildren except in zoos! There are no reasons why we can't coexist with wildlife! All we have to do is stop killing and make the effort!
This senseless slaughter of our American wildlife must stop, especially the wolves! Wolves are an important part of our eco-system. At the rate we're gtoingt, t
I ask you consider to re-list the grey wolves on the Endangered Species list. Science and biology have proven wolves play an important role in our ecology. I believe we can all work together with sensible and humane means to protect the ranchers and hunters interest. The grey wolf should not be a pawn in a senseless game of hatred. I believe we should protect the wolves as they represent a national symbol of freedom.
please please stop killing wolves nature intended them to run wild and free its not right murdering them for who they are or what they are protect natures gift to us all wolves do not belong to you or anyone wolves belong to the wilderness and the wilderness belongs to them not you or any other person in any country we need them i am so downhearted that millions of good people worldwide love wolves nd want to protect and save them and yet no one hears our pleas so please im begging anyone in authority stop killing wolves place them back on the endangered species register and help save them .i dont know if anyone will take notice but i hope someone does
Hundreds of thousands of people have spoken out on the wolves "next to none protection". Isn't it time to open your ears and listen. Our wolves are being slaughtered every day. They suffer horrific deaths, how can this be allowed?? Are we still in the Dark Ages and still fearful of wolves. Educate yourself on the positive aspects of the wolf. Learn how they are great parents, loyal and loving, and have done NOTHING to man. Ranchers can co-exist with wolves if they REALLY wanted to, but for them its easier to kill them. Then get compensating from our government for that MURDER!!!!! This country needs a wake up call right now. If this slaughter is not stopped all the wolves will be slaughtered and our government will be the cause. SHAME ON YOU !!!!
Please keep wolves under the protection of the EAS. Nature has a balance in which the wolves belong. Our past glorious history of hunting animals to only spare those in zoo's has been and continues to be a tried and true failure. You have a chance to undo the harm of this policy. Man and Woman up and do it. I thing we have enough cows and sheep already.
Our wolves are far from recovered in the lower 48 states. All rancher's must be held accountable for their own losses if they do not use non lethal means in which to protect their own herd's. We must also give the public land back to the animals native to their lands. Stiff punishment must be used in unlawful murdering of all collared wolves as well. All scientific data has proven that our ecosystem will continue to fail if wolves are not returned to all of their native lands.
We, the animal advocates have been told too many lies and it's time for it to stop. We thought that you would help us protect the wolves, we thought Mr. Obama cared about our fragile ecosystem. But no one will help us stop the madness that President Bush started. It is time for the "We the people, by the people" get's utilized!
Please reinlist the Wolves on ESA.The Wolves are still endanger and has not recover in all areas that they are Native too. Our Ego system needs every animals to help keep it healthy for us.Every animal was created by God with a purpose in life.they have a purpose, please be a voice and save these amazing wolves.

The Heavy Dragoon Poem by William Schwenck Gilbert
If you want a receipt for that popular mystery,
Known to the world as a Heavy Dragoon,
Take all the remarkable people in history,
Rattle them off to a popular tune!
The pluck of LORD NELSON on board of the VICTORY -
Genius of BISMARCK devising a plan;
The humour of FIELDING (which sounds contradictory) -
Coolness of PAGET about to trepan -
The grace of MOZART, that unparalleled musico -
Wit of MACAULAY, who wrote of QUEEN ANNE -
The pathos of PADDY, as rendered by BOUCICAULT -
Style of the BISHOP OF SODOR AND MAN -
The dash of a D'ORSAY, divested of quackery -
Narrative powers of DICKENS and THACKERAY -
VICTOR EMMANUEL - peak-haunting PEVERIL -
THOMAS AQUINAS, and DOCTOR SACHEVERELL -
TUPPER and TENNYSON - DANIEL DEFOE -
ANTHONY TROLLOPE and MISTER GUIZOT!
Take of these elements all that is fusible,
Melt 'em all down in a pipkin or crucible,
Set 'em to simmer and take off the scum,
And a Heavy Dragoon is the residuum!
If you want a receipt for this soldierlike paragon,
Get at the wealth of the CZAR (if you can) -
The family pride of a Spaniard from Arragon -
Force of MEPHISTO pronouncing a ban -
A smack of LORD WATERFORD, reckless and rollicky -
Swagger of RODERICK, heading his clan -
The keen penetration of PADDINGTON POLLAKY -
Grace of an Odalisque on a divan -
The genius strategic of CAESAR or HANNIBAL -
Skill of LORD WOLSELEY in thrashing a cannibal -
Flavour of HAMLET - the STRANGER, a touch of him -
Little of MANFRED (but not very much of him) -
Beadle of Burlington - RICHARDSON'S show -
MR. MICAWBER and MADAME TUSSAUD!
Take of these elements all that is fusible -
Melt 'em all down in a pipkin or crucible -
Set 'em to simmer and take off the scum,
And a Heavy Dragoon is the residuum!

Education bill drops tenure, maintains funding
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota teachers no longer would keep jobs based on tenure under a Minnesota House plan that also would keep public school funding static.
The bill considered late Tuesday night would spend slightly more money on public school students while the state Education Department itself would sustain a major cut. Opponents complained about Republican cuts in Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul schools' aid designed to help desegregate schools.

It could be a boom time for farm sector in Tirupur district in the coming fiscal (2012-13) if one goes by the credit flow projections brought out by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).
Total requirement
The total envisaged credit requirement for the sector, as projected by NABARD in its Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLCP) document brought out for 2012-13, would be Rs.1,353.16 crore which was 18.78 per cent more than the corresponding projections in the PLCP for the year 2011-12.
Crop loans
Sub-sector wise, estimations for 'agricultural term credit for food security' had been pegged at Rs. 474.24 crore, an increase of 26.27 per cent, and that for crop loans at Rs. 878 crore, a hike of 15.09 per cent.
Under the 'agricultural term credit for food security' component, the lion's share of Rs.209.8 crore was expected to flow in food and agro processing activities with Rs. 58 crore to be utilised for plantation and horticulture promotion and Rs. 52 crore for farm mechanisation.
"We have projected the credit flow for the ensuing fiscal based on the availability of infrastructure, extension services, marketing support and the effectiveness of rural financial delivery system," NABARD Assistant General Manager V. S. Sriram told The Hindu .
Mr. Sriram was of the opinion that subsidy-linked schemes for post harvest management, irrigations systems and allied activities like dairy, poultry etc., were expected to boost the investments and capital formation in the farm sector.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Even his head coach, Larry Brown, is smiling again. After being worn to a nub by an Olympic team with several bad seeds and questionable effort, Brown is delighted to be home coaching his Pistons.
"I haven't been disappointed with their effort one day," Brown said. "We play the right way. We try to defend, we share the ball, we play with enthusiasm."
The Pistons are the anti-Lakers.
After winning their championships the last few years, the Lakers usually descended into a quagmire of petty jealousies and chaos once training camp began. Even after Kobe and Shaq's messy divorce, the Lakers still can't seem to get rid of the controversy.
The Pistons, on the other hand, have a genuine family atmosphere that dominates camp.
"When you're pushing the team concept like we are it forces everybody to depend on each other," Dumars said.
"Each guy knows it's not about him. It's about us."
"Everyone's working extremely hard," Finals MVP Chauncey Billups says with a toothy grin.
"No training camp is that enjoyable, but for us, we've had a fun week. We know the plays. We like each other. We trust each other. It's been pretty fun for us."
Even Rasheed Wallace is holding group hugs at center court this season.
"This is a great group of guys," Sheed says as he high fives and waves to players as they head into the locker room.
"Everyone respects each other's game and the abilities that they bring to the table as a whole. It's just about respect."
The Pistons might respect each other and the 29 opponents that will be attempting to take their title away this year. . . but does the rest of the league really respect them?
"This is a team that has never been anointed," Dumars said.
"Even after winning a championship, we have not been anointed. We still feel as though we have to prove it. You can't talk your way through a championship. You have to get on the floor and do it."
Somehow, you know that's exactly what the Pistons will do.
Brown and his players already claim that the team is light years ahead of where they were last season at this time.
With Sheed in the fold, Brown is finally able to mix him more seamlessly into the offense, something he never really had the luxury of doing when the Pistons acquired him in late February.
"Coach Brown knows how to play me, but sometimes I was still trying to figure out my teammates out," Wallace said.
"I was kind of thrown into the fire last year. This year, I've got more time to figure things out."
New addition Antonio McDyess has brought a sense of veteran toughness to the interior.
The Pistons often struggled to score point in the paint last season, but with a healthy McDyess (who was catching alley oop lobs in practice on Wednesday) the Pistons are looking at one of the biggest, toughest and most versatile front lines in the league.
Billups claims that's he's more comfortable too.
He and Brown had a love-hate relationship last season. This year, Billups seems more relaxed playing the way Brown expects him to play. And Brown seems more willing to let Billups throw away the script when his instincts tell him to.
Even a rookie is getting into the act.
Carlos Delfino has come into camp swinging, quickly earning the respect of his teammates and his coach. His game-winning three-point shot in the Pistons' first exhibition game already has everyone in Detroit buzzing.
"His game is a lot more advanced than I thought," Brown said.
"He has a great understanding of how to play. He seems to have the respect of all of his teammates. He has the opportunity to really help us."
How can the Pistons be so good and so good at the same time?
That tranquility amidst excellence is the envy of every coach and GM in the league.
"I love them," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said.
"They are so mentally tough. They are a group of guys that has an unbreakable family-like relationship. They play hard, they play together, they share and they root for each other. I think the Pistons are great for sports."
Rivers isn't alone.
Dumars' philosophies about teamwork and chemistry are literally changing the way other GMs around the league are going about rebuilding their teams.
Dumars' ability to pluck players in free agency and the draft that weren't marquee names, but who had the inner fight in them to succeed, has destroyed long held myths about how to build a contender.
For years, the obsession of almost every GM in the league was about finding one or two guys who could be superstars -- the next Shaq or KG.
Dumars proved the past several years that a collection of talented, hard-working, unselfish players who are willing to fight through adversity can do it even better.
Dumars understands the concept better than most because he's lived it as a person and a player his whole life.
Dumars grew up in rural Louisiana, the son of a father who worked in a local poultry factory.
While he was naturally gifted at sports, he never wanted to rely on it as a crutch to better his situation. After practice each day he'd sneak into the library to read books, a no-no for jocks in his community.
Dumars eventually became a late first-round draft pick from McNeese State in 1985. Over the course of his career he epitomized everything he looks for in his players. His tough, versatile, intelligent and unselfish approach to the game helped the Pistons bring home two world championships under his watch.
Before his 14-year career ended, he began planning for the future a future that initially didn't include the NBA.
"I had no intention of getting involved in the league when I retired," Dumars said.
"I just went out and starting looking for something that challenged me and would help me succeed after my playing days were done. Basketball was my job, but it wasn't necessarily my life."
Dumars started his first business, Joe Dumars' Fieldhouse, in 1994, six years before he retired.
The Fieldhouse is an indoor-recreational facility that gave kids and adults access to basketball and hockey courts for round the clock pick-up games or organized leagues.
The business has blossomed to the point that last year the Fieldhouse hosted 182 different local basketball teams in tournaments and another 50,000 pick-up games.
His new facility, set to open in just off the Eight Mile road in Detroit later this month, has the potential to even be bigger.
Two years later, Dumars founded DTI, Detroit Technology Inc. The business sells interior parts like leather seats and trunk systems to automakers like GM, Ford, Chrysler and Toyota.
If you own a P.T. Cruiser, Lincoln Navigator, a Ford Expedition or a Toyota Camary, chances are you sitting on something created by Joe Dumars.
By the time owner Bill Davidson approached Dumars about taking over the Pistons in 1999, Dumars wasn't even sure he wanted the job.
"I had already put a lot blood and sweat into those two businesses and I didn't want to give them up," Dumars admits.
"However, Mr. D told me I didn't have to give them up. He said he wanted was my focus, vision and leadership. I felt like the lessons that I learned running my businesses might actually help me rebuild the Pistons."
With a wealth of experience on the court and six years of business experience off it, Dumars decide to buck conventional NBA wisdom and build the Pistons based on proven business principles.
"There's a sense of discipline about running an automotive business that I thought would translate," Dumars said.
"It's a tough, cutthroat culture with payoffs that are three or more years down the road. You learn patience, accountability, quality and how to deliver on time. You learn what it takes to create a team, how to build the right culture to succeed. I thought those things could apply just as equally to basketball."
"Joe's ability to assess people is remarkable," said Brian Siegel, a business associate of Dumars. "He can quickly assess an individual's strengths and then figure out how to maximize them in a team setting."
While still spending significant time running the fieldhouse and DTI, Dumars slowly began weeding out the bad seeds in Detroit and began hunting for players who had struggled throughout their careers, but whom Dumars believed would blossom in the right environment.
Over the course of the past four seasons that core would be created from four castoffs - Billups, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace - along with several late first and second-round draft picks like Tayshaun Prince and Mehmet Okur that other teams had slept on.
"Everyone here comes from a difficult road here," Sheed said. "Chauncey came from a tough road. Rip had a tough situation. So did Ben and myself. But our paths all met at the end. . . . Joe D saw something in all of us that others couldn't see."
It's a quality that Dumars' associates say extends beyond the basketball realm.
"Some people have the ability to see down the road," Mark Hoppen, Vice President of DTI, said. "Joe has the ability to see around the corner."
It's hard to argue with the results. When Dumars took over in 2000, the Pistons' star player, Grant Hill, bolted for Orlando and all looked lost in Detroit.
Four years later, Dumars is being fitted for his third World Championship ring and the Pistons appear poised to win many more.
With a solid veteran cast and a budding young core of talent led by Prince (24), Delfino (22) and Darko Milicic (19), Dumars appears to have built a team that not only can win now, but also might contend for the next decade - a feat most champions have failed to achieve.
"Say what you will about us," Dumars said, "but know that we're not trying to follow the pack. We're trying to lead it."
Respectful confidence. It isn't a sexy slogan but it's the right one to describe this team and the man who built them.

Dream Yoga Mats Launches Exercise Mats in Fashion Boutiques
by BWW News Desk - Oct 1, 2014
As the practice of yoga has become a mainstream athletic pursuit around the country, a familiar dilemma has struck the practicing populace - with all these new yogis heightening their recitation, each individual has become less differentiated. Just as other fashion trends have stagnated with a lack of new designs, so too have exercise mats become mundane. Cue Nicole Tarumianz and her small business, Dream Yoga Mats, to rescue us from a studio of sameness and allow the inner fashionista in us all to thrive. Dream Yoga Mats primary product - exercise mats offering a broad range of vibrant colors and inspired embroidered designs - permits each yogi his or her own expression of beauty. Inspired by the natural beauty in Aspen, CO, the Elk and Sawatch mountain ranges invoke the spirit of simple living, self-reliance, and rugged simplicity. Let these qualities wash over your being and select a mat that outwardly represents your inner harmony. It's happened to every discerning yogi; a quick glance around the studio reveals a plethora of identical looking mats. A quick moment of reflection and the conclusion is clear - what a bore. While the practice of yoga is unique to each participant, and the inner harmony and outward physical display of the asanas can be subject to one's own interpretation, the apparel and gear is largely constant. Enter a new marketplace player to rescue our natural desire for unique expression. It's easy to imagine that fit, sinewy gentlemen across the room as blue mat with a tree of life; the youthful burgeoning yogi female as pink with lotus flower; or the experienced instructor with perfect form as yellow with an Om symbol - which are you? Ahimsa, the first of the Yamas of yoga, means compassion for all living things. As such, a discerning yogi should elect to do no harm in their own practice. One method for Living Out this virtue is to choose an eco-conscious mat. Dream Yoga Mats utilizes rubber and latex free PVC, with dyes and inks that contain no phthalates. Not all mats are created equal, elect to practice your asanas free of noxious chemicals and unpleasant off-gassing materials. Dream Yoga Mats creates surfaces that are as functional as they are uniquely beautiful. Each mat provides a high-quality sticky surface for your practice. Let the inspiring designs focus your attention and channel your practice to a place of balance and concordance. As you rest in downward dog, let your gaze fixate on the unique space born out of your own creativity. The next time you engage in practice at your favorite studio, let yourself exist in an inspired space by selecting a mat that aligns your mind and body. Don't settle for the mundane spot blending into the back of the studio. Put your best foot forward in warrior pose, and let those around you see and feel your aura with a unique mat from Dream Yoga Mats. Just as you seek out the connections between your mind, body, and the natural world around; seek out a mat that harmonizes your intentions. Available at fine boutiques across the natural world.

CARACAS -- PDVSA and Rosneft signed deals to boost production at a new joint venture in the South American country's vast Orinoco heavy oil belt.
Russia will extend to Venezuela a $1.5 billion loan as well as a separate $1.1 billion bond for its participation in Petrovictoria, which will oversee exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas at the Carabobo 2 North and Carabobo 4 West blocs in the Orinoco region.
It is slated to produce 120 Mbpd by 2016 and aims to eventually reach 400 Mbpd, Venezuela Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said during a televised gathering with Rosneft chief Igor Sechin.
Russia has been a key partner for Venezuela, whose leftist government has turned to its ally for everything from oil project financing to military arms. Both sides have pledged to maintain strong economic and political ties under the new leadership of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the successor to late strongman Hugo Chavez, who maintained friendly relations with Russia before his death in March.
PDVSA will own 60% of Petrovictoria while Rosneft will control the rest.
Rosneft also has a stake in another venture with PDVSA in Venezuela called Petromiranda as well as the heavy-oil upgrader Petromonagas.
Among its three projects with Rosneft, PDVSA expects output to top 1 MMbopd, which will require north of $28 billion in investment, Mr. Ramirez said.
The Venezuelan minister also said Rosneft and PDVSA will evaluate opportunities to collaborate in development of the Mariscal Sucre gas fields as well as producing oil field equipment such as drills.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Race fatigue can be constructive
There are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. -- Barack Obama
I am Trayvon Martin.
Related Items
Distill it to its marrow, and that is what African-Americans have been telling other Americans since February 2012 when the unarmed teenager was stalked and killed by George Zimmerman, who, for no good reason, thought him suspicious. And it is essentially what President Obama said in an impromptu appearance in the White House press room last week.
We African-Americans see ourselves, our sons and grandsons, in this dead boy. And we hear no whisper of "there but for the grace of God," but, rather, a nightmare scream of what could yet be, in a nation that would afterward slander them till it seemed they deserved what they got and more.
In pointedly including himself among our number, in testifying that even the most powerful man in the world once saw women clutch their purses when he got on an elevator, Obama committed an act of moral courage. It was all the more remarkable because it carried no political upside.
Not that everyone understood. "Trayvon Martin could have been me," said the president, after which Sean Hannity, a grand wizard of the extreme right, professed confusion, wondering if by this, Obama meant he "smoked pot and he did a little blow."
And so it goes.
That coarse attempt at wit pretty much emblematizes the behaviour of many so-called conservatives since Zimmerman's acquittal. They have redoubled their efforts to fashion a fairly ordinary teenager into some general-purpose thug who somehow needed shooting, and his killer into some righteous street avenger who stalked him from justifiable fear because, "we all know" young black men are criminal.
"Young black men." Not Trayvon Benjamin Martin, 17, son of Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton. Because the first casualty of racism is individuality, the right to be your singular self.
This is what was stolen from Trayvon even before his life. It is stolen anew every time some pundit bloviates upon the perceived criminality of young black men to justify his killing. That perception is rooted more in stereotype and fear than actual fact, but put that aside and ask yourself this:
What man or woman among us would be willing to let the rest of us judge them based not upon who they are and what they have done, but solely upon our perceptions of people like them? There is, for instance, a perception methamphetamine use is concentrated among white people in red states -- in other words, Sean Hannity's audience. May we treat all white people in red states accordingly? Will they go for that deal? Of course not.
Yet we daily crucify young black men upon that cross and pretend to moral righteousness in the doing. Trayvon is not the first victim. He's not even the latest.
But he is the one whose death has made us cry, "Enough!"
There comes a time when people get tired. So said Martin Luther King in his first speech as leader of the Montgomery bus boycott. From that fatigue grew a movement that reshaped America.
One hopes people are that tired again -- and that it spurs a new movement to challenge not just laws, but attitudes so corroded and stained some of us cannot even muster compassion for the death of a blameless boy.
This is wrong. It is unworthy of decent people. And so, it cannot stand.
The thing the rest of the country may not fully appreciate is how deeply that loss of individuality cuts for African-Americans, how closely it binds us. So yes, of course Barack Obama is Trayvon Martin. And let there be no mistake:
I am Trayvon, too.
