The Hebron Christian Diamond Eagles (16-9; 5-0) were 2-1 overall, counting their 3-0 conference win over Winona on Thursday and a split in the Carroll Academy Tourney this weekend. They got a win over Magnolia Heights, but Jackson Prep was too much for Hebron, finally defeating them 3-1.
Things got off to a good start, as the Lady Eagles rounded off the week at Winona.
Neither team could score in the first, but Hebron finally got on the board in the second inning, with two runs. Alaina Hill singled to get things started, and she was bunted over to third later in the inning by Chloe Tapley.
Cathryn Moore then came to the plate and ripped a triple that drove in Hill for the first score. Magen Tapley then came to the plate and laced an RBI single to give her team a 2-0 lead.
Things remained that close until the fifth inning, when Hebron came to bat, needing some insurance. Magen Tapley reached on a fielder's choice, and she moved to second on a single by Jessica Flemming.
Tori Nichols came to bat, and she drew a walk. The Hebron patience paid off when Beverly Blake also drew a base on balls to drive in the third run for the Lady Eagles.
Despite leaving 10 runners stranded on base, Hebron scattered seven hits, including the one by Hill. She also sccored a run. Chloe Tapley had a double, and Moore had two hits, including a triple and an RBI.
Magen Tapley had two hits, a run and an RBI. Flemming finished the game with one hit.
Chloe Tapley started the game in the circle, and she pitched a solid six innings, striking out nine and scattering three hits.
"We missed a couple of opportunities to widen our lead but just didn't get the good hit at the right time," said Hebron head coach Cass Tapley. "I thought Winona was tough at the plate today. They gave Chloe some battles and their short game was pretty good."
On Saturday, the team went down to Carroll to try their luck against Magnolia Heights and Jackson Prep.
Hebron faced Jackson Prep first, and they got off to a good start when Beverly Blake hit a line drive to the gap, in which she was able to come all the way around to score.
In the third inning, Prep got some things going with the bats, and they were able to score twice to take the lead.
By the final inning, Hebron was still trailing, but back-to-back singles by Moore and Magen Tapley led the last at-bat off for the Lady Eagles.
Prep was up for the challenge, however, and the Lady Eagles were unable to move the runners any further.
Hill finished the game with a hit. Moore had two hits.
Magen Tapley had a hit, as did Blake, who scored the game's only run.
Brittany Ousley had a perfect day at the plate, going 2-for-2.
Chloe Tapley had five innings in the circle, striking out five in the loss.
"I thought we had a great opportunity to pull off a big win," Tapley said. "The rain made it a hitters day and we actually out hit Prep but just couldn't string out enough hits in a row to do any good. We left six stranded.
Hebron got off to a shaky start in the first inning against Magnolia Preps, loading the bases with nobody out.
A line drive was hit hard but right to Hillary Arnold, who double up the runner at third. MHS would score twice in the inning, but that would be all they would get off Chloe Tapley in the first.
They would go on to take a 3-0 lead in the second inning.
Hebron came to the plate in their final at-bat, trailing 3-0. Prysilla Skelton led off the inning with a walk. Hill and Chloe Tapley singled back-to-back to load the bases with no outs.
Moore came to the plate, and she lined a double to center, driving in the first two runs of the day for Hebron.
A pass ball scored Tapley, who slid into home for the tie.
Magen Tapley and Beverly Blake were intentionally walked back-to-back to bring Nichols to the plate.
Nichols did not take kindly to the walks ahead of her, and she let her opponent know by hitting a walk- off single to center to drive in Moore for the win.
Hill finished this game 1-for-1, with a run. Chole Tapley had a hit to go along with another win in the circle.
Moore had a hit, a run and two RBI.
Nichols had the winning hit and the RBI. Skelton finished the game with a run scored.
"This was a good team win against a strong AAA opponent," Tapley said. "After missing an opportunity in the first game we were not about to let this one get away from us but finally got our bats going. I like the fact that we kept battling."
The Lady Eagles will play Thursday at Calhoun, starting at 4 p.m.
The Daily Times Leader will have a wrap-up from last night's final home match against Central in Wednesday's sports section.

Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[8]

Tester voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[9]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[10] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Tester voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[11]
Mexico-U.S. border
Tester voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[12]

Tester voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[13]
Previous congressional sessions

Fundraiser for Walsh
Tester and Max Baucus held a fundraiser in November 2013 for Democrat John Walsh, who will be running for Montana's U.S. Senate seat in 2014. Baucus will not be seeking re-election. The fundraiser will feature Democrat Chuck Schumer from New York. This fundraiser angered Democrat John Bohlinger, who will be challenging Walsh in the primary. He said, "I am really troubled by the involvement of the Washington insiders in a Montana Democratic senatorial primary race. They should have no business of trying to influence an outcome of an election here." Bohlinger continued to blast D.C. donors saying, "I'll be raising money, but it will be far lesser amounts than the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (of Washington, D.C.) will pour into Walsh's campaign fund. Mine will be money that comes from Montanans. I'm really offended by the DSCC and their interest in this (primary)."[16]
Tester ran for re-election in 2012. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. Denny Rehberg defeated Dennis Teske in the Republican primary on June 5, 2012.[1]
The University of Virginia's Center for Politics published an article called Sabato's Crystal Ball on March 22, 2012, detailing the eight races in the Senate in 2012 that would decide the political fate of which party would end up with control in 2013.[17] The seat rated a toss-up that the Sabato's Crystal Ball believed was most likely to change hands was the Senate seat in Montana.[17] The article notes that incumbent Tester is a slight underdog against challenger Denny Rehberg.[17]
On May 4, 2012, [1] reported that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had purchased nearly $3 million in Montana broadcast time from late August through the November general election to help re-elect Tester. According to Politico, "the DSCC's early commitment to fall spending in the race indicated a level of confidence in the Democrat against a less-examined challenger. Given the map of seats the Democrats needed to win to maintain the majority, the DSCC clearly thought Tester was a wise investment."[18]
According to the website Daily Kos, this race was one of nine top-ballot 2012 races that contained Libertarian candidates who received more total votes than was the difference between the Democratic winner and the GOP runner-up. In this case, Dan Cox took in over 12,500 more votes than the number that separated Tester and Rehberg.[19]

January Photo a Day Pt. 2!
1. Childhood- I still remember this moment so well. It was pre-school picture day and I was NOT ok with that rubber chicken. My friends, teacher, and the photographer tried everything they could think of to get me to smile... nothing.
2. Where You Sleep- Well, this is were I used to sleep. By tonight (are you still crossing your fingers??) I will have a new bedroom! I don't think it'll be near this cute though. I will miss that room.
3. Close-Up- I was loving my new shirt, new hair, and my favorite lipstick.
4. In Your Bag- First of all, I am so in love with my bag it's not even funny. Thanks again Chablis (my sister)! I like to keep my bags small because a. I'm not a purse person and b. It keeps me from stuffing it full of junk.
5. Something You're Reading- I didn't read much that day. I did however read class information. I'm so excited aaaaaaaaaand super nervous!
6. Happiness- On Sunday night, anytime I had to get from one spot to another I did it by sliding there in my socks. So fun. :)
7. Morning- It was a cold and gloomy Monday morning. Blech. :P
8. Water- It's basically the only thing I drink and THIS water bottle is THE best! Not kidding. Buy yourself ten.
9. Something You Bought- The last thing I bought was this fabric for a project (which became two, sorta) I am working on. :D I can't wait to share it with you! (it's a lot more tangerine than orange. I'll have to take better pictures.)
Have a great weekend everyone! Keep your phalanges crossed for me, please!

WILLIAMSON - Rumors that have been making there way around the Tug Valley area for well over one year concerning the possibility of one local not for-profit health care system purchasing another local health-care facility that as of present time, is a for-profit company, was confirmed to be fact on Monday afternoon.
According to information provided by Appalachian Regional Hospital's (ARH) Executive Public Relations Director, Melissa Cornett, her employer has purchased the Williamson Memorial Hospital, located within the city limits of Williamson, a municipality that depends greatly on the B&O taxes paid to them by the health-care facility. Without those taxes, the city could possibly see themselves in a extremely stressful financial situation which could create the need to stop providing the citizens of Williamson with a paid fire department and a decrease of officers with the police department, among other cuts.
The press release from Cornett tells the basics of the buy-out, and she relayed to the Williamson Daily News that more information regarding this business venture will be released at a later date, explaining that the purchase is is the early stages and there is still much to be done before the transaction is complete. The information is signed by Joe Grossman, President and CEO of ARH and reads as follows:
Joe Grossman, President and CEO of the Appalachian Regional Health-care system.
Appalachian Regional Health-care has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Williamson Memorial Hospital from a subsidiary of Health Management Associates, its current owner. The transaction is expected to be completed in February 2014.
Our purpose in acquiring Williamson Memorial is to ensure that health-care in the Tug Valley is provided at the highest level of quality as well as efficiently as possible. This will ensure that our community has full access to the best health-care services and that our providers have the resources to continue the delivery of high quality care to our community. In today's health-care environment, providers must endlessly strive to deliver care in new and smarter ways in response to changes in the industry. This acquisition helps us accomplish that by allowing Williamson ARH to build on its strategic plan, maintain its mission, and continually improve upon its quality of care, financial position, services, and facilities.
We count ourselves fortunate that we have such a high quality health-care community in the Tug Valley, from physicians to nurses to other caregivers and staff – whether they are associated with Williamson Memorial Hospital or Williamson ARH Hospital. We look forward to continuing in our mission of providing the best health-care possible to the Tug Valley community.
Further information on this buy-out will be published in a future edition of the Williamson Daily News and will include a statement from Darrin McCormick, the Mayor of Williamson, along with other council members and business leaders concerning the effects this purchase will have on their city.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Quality
We have been so pleased with our decision to order our Save the Dates from Magnet Street! Not only do we love the design, but the quality of the card is excellent! We were also very impressed with timely shipping! I would recommend this site to anyone!
Love the magnet
I keep getting compliments on our save the date magnets. We chose the 'circle of love' style and changed the colors to match ours. I love how it turned out, and is different from the classic and traditional save the dates you see more often.
We love them!
Our magnets came out beautifully! They were delivered quickly and in lovely packaging. Magnet Street was easy to use, we were able to customize the design just the way we wanted it and we are so pleased with our Save the Dates!
Love, love, love this magnet!
My fiance and I dabbled with a few of the templates in the Design Studio, but when all was said and done, this best fit our theme and we really loved how our photo worked with the template. We used custom CMYK colors to create shades of our wedding color palette in the dots across the bottom. Overall, we were very pleased with the ease of customization, quality of the magnet, and quick turnaround time! We also love the carrier cards and return address labels. Can't wait to get these out to share our big day with friends and family!
Perfect Save the Date
My magnets arrived yesterday and they are perfect! The quality is great the the nice packaging they arrived in was a great surprise. I was worried they would take longer than I expected but nope, they took exactly two weeks from ordering to when they arrived. The colors and the picture turned out exactly like the proof (which I was nervous about). Love them and cant wait to send them. Thanks Magnet Street!

It will take about eight months before residents notice a shiny, new fire truck traveling the roads and attending to emergencies.
On Monday, the Delaware City Council took the first steps to acquiring that truck by approving an advancement of cash from the general fund and the appropriation to fund the purchase of the $1.1-million fire truck and about $200,000 worth of equipment to replace the aging 30-year-old truck in the fleet.
"This is certainly a purchase the fire department has been looking forward to for a few years," City Mayor Gary Milner said.
The current ladder truck is prone to hydraulic failures, which keeps the ladder from raising, and goes in and out of service regularly. Purchasing a new truck before now wasn't possible with a tight city budget until a fire and emergency medical services levy was passed by voters in November.
The approved legislation advances $1.1 million from the general fund to pay up front for the truck. If the city purchases the truck upon ordering it, it can receive a $54,000 discount, City Finance Director Dean Stelzer explained.
Stelzer will enter into a capital lease purchase arrangement with either Fifth Third Bank or Huntington National Bank and finance the truck over eight years, he said. At the end of the lease, the city will own the vehicle.
The new truck, a Pierce 100-foot aerial platform truck with a 2011 velocity chassis — is being purchased by a Wisconsin company Pierce Manufacturing that specializes in fire apparatus construction, City Fire Chief John Donahue told council Monday. It will take about eight months for the vehicle to be constructed and delivered, which should be around the first of the year.
City Councilman Andrew Brush asked about the existing equipment on the current truck and whether it would be used on the new truck.
Donahue said that any usable equipment will be put onto the new truck, but most of it was purchased at the same time as the truck 30 years ago.
The city also recently purchased land along West Central Avenue to make way for a $1.5-million fire substation, part of the levy campaign promises. The 1.58-acre property, purchased for $225,000, is located on the northwest corner of West Central Avenue and Lexington Boulevard in Delaware Township.

It's not easy to find the perfect girl, even when you're the same sex! Kanako thought attending an all-girls school would be the perfect way to meet the girl of her dreams, but after her hot new roommate turns out to be a guy in drag and catching the eye of the most popular girl in school only brings down the wrath of all the other similarly obsessed girls, she's not so sure!
Complicate things with a cat-eared dorm leader, her roommate's rude-mannered maid and identical twin sister (who attends an all-boys school, of course,) and way too many attractive girls of questionable persuasions and the question becomes whether Kanako can die from frustrated nosebleeds! (Life would be SO much easier if guys didn't literally give her the hives!) Will Kanako ever find a non-polar opposite of a compatible non-opposing polarity?
Contains episodes 1-12.
Special Features: Club At-X Interview, Special X-Mas Night - Amenokisaki Holy Night Festival, Japanese Commercial Collection, Japanese Promotional Video, Clean Opening Animation, Clean Closing Animation.

I\'m rectifying my old comment. This comic is horrendous - it teases the reader with small bits of plot development and then proceeds to give 40+ pages of confusing action sequences, lesbian fanservice and zoophilia
Thanks again for the interview, Danny and Donnie! You guys RULE! Keep up the awesome work :)
Easy to follow, great character developement, and if all you one star voters would overlook the anthro aspect, you would a very welldone webcomic. As a final note, I wish there was a six-star rating, because this would earn it.
nice! loved the big fight =D
It's a nice comic though I really can't agree much on the balance of genders but it's okay.
Words from the creators:
We'll definitely deliver sexy violence
Our dragon and tiger girls have big offensive breasts!
Hooray for boobies!!
Now I'm not saying that this comic is all about gawking at Dragon and Tiger titties, I was just poking fun at the comic (and the people who think this is just "lesbian furry softcore"). It's actually a well thought-out comic with an complex story that isn't difficult to follow. And, if you weren't too busy fogging up your glasses in the bath scene, you'd notice that it was put there for a reason.
The first story arc is reaching its climax, and I can hardly wait two weeks to find out what happens next. It seems so unfair.
Smoke this comic, it's premium dope.
thank you recomendation list
Wow, Falken takes a lot of words to simply say, "I don't like this comic because I'm pretentious."
First off, the writer has NEVER made the claim that He is "so origional." He is simply tellign the story the best way he can, and IMNSHO, He's doing a fine job of it. The writer doesn't have to "prove" anything, all he has to do is write. if you don't like his style, then don't read, simple as that.
Question: How exactly does one read a breadstick? Falken's attempt at pointing out a writing flaw by complaining that a character doesn't use contractions is asinine. I personally know a lot of people that prefer not to speak in contractions, as they feel that it helps them get their point across clearer.
*goes through and rereads the first 10 pages* Well, yeah, there's a lot going on. but you know what? It's not like it's hard to follow or muddied. Every plot development makes sense, and has flow with the overall story. The referenced "You!" isn't egregious at all. Falken is digging for complaints. Granted, he has every right to complain, as this is America and all, But his complaints don't really have the ring of someone giving criticism. More, they simply sound like a hater, trying to bring something good down.
Nothing annoys me more than a comic with such a stale plot and horribly stiff dialogue.
The plot is a pile of shit. Its just another wannabe who thinks they're so horribly original and 'deep' with this fantasty lore shit littered with magic swords and myth. Get over it people, there are hundreds of comcs based on that shit and I have yet to find ONE of them thats any better than 'acceptable'. I read ONE fantasy style comic, and even that still has to prove its worth to me by moving on from backstory. Well done backstory it may be, but its still not happening in the NOW of the comic.
As for the dialogue, it reads like a breadstick. Even when one character says 'no need for formalities' she still follows it up without contracting 'you are'. Come on people! Who the hell talks like that when they're trying to put across comraderie and freindship in a non formal way?
The rest of the dialogue is just as bad and its painfully obvious the author has no idea what the hell a good comic is about. Within the first 10 pages or so there are more new characters and plotlines than there are PAGES! Almost every panel contains some new exclamation of 'OH! YOU! My long lost sister from furry kingdom character design HELL!'
This comic is a pile of shit and is in no way original. As for 'no apparent shortage of ideas or directions' thats entirely the PROBLEM! The comic is trying to do too FAR too much at once and can't do ANY of it WELL.

What´s up with all these negative comments ? Are people really that ignorant ? People complain that nearly the Entire Cast is female, so what´s the deal. People don´t complain if nearly the nearly the entire or even entire cast is male. But the Gender of a Character doesn´t matter as long as the Characters are deep and complex, which is the case here. Let´s take Elektra, who is a ruthless Mercenary at the first glimpse, but actually fights for the Best of her kind and her daughter.
So the females are humanoid Animals, while the males are beasts. Who cares ? In the FAQ it was due to Evolution, and seeing how different the different Sexes of a single Animal can be, it is actually not that unlikely that something like that could happen.
And all those Persons calling it Furry Soft Porn should actually read the story, which doesn´t focus on Sex, but the conflict between Tigers and Dragons, with none of the races being the Villians.
So there is some Lesbian Sexuality between some Characters, but not much of that is seen. And considering the kind of society the charcters are living in, it is actually not surprising.
Oh and one last word: Actually I don´t like Furry, but Draconia Chronicles has an Interesting Story and complex Characters.
Dispite comments focusing on the gender of the characters, this comic has a great story. It shows how no conflict is truly black and white, there are points on either side that make both the tigers and the dragons feel that they are in the right. The new twists from one of the dragons is really starting to make things interesting.
Ok, there's at least one male character - but not many. I take that part back.
But the first five or so comics have none. And some suggestive and just outright blatant sexuality between all the females. Lesbian furry softcore.
wodan46 is 100% correct. Has nobody else noticed that there isn't ONE male character? Pathetic excuse to fulfill the artist/author's sexual fantasies.
NOTE: Our Web Address Has Changed! "The Draconia Chronicles" Can Now Be Found At 2wcOnline.net/draconia_current.html
Thanks for reading!
this the first comic in a long time to offend me enough to quit within the first dozen strips. Its plotline is a lousy excuse to draw humanoid dragons and lions with breasts. ugh.
Well so far its already been said a few times, it has great art and a story to match that talent. I give it two thumbs up
A must for any Furry and NON furry fan. A++++
great story, Awesome art, fun writers and staff.
well done art in an involving universe... and the story seems pretty interesting too... I only wish it updated faster
Great art, nice story . This comic has potential.
Very nice comic.
Imaginative, complex writing and exciting, detailed art--a great combination. This series definitely has many ways to expand in the future, and there looks to be no apparent shortage of ideas or directions.

We don't know about you, but the start of tax season makes us a little tense. However, we have good news—you can actually help animals while filing your taxes this year!
To participate, sign up at We-Care.com, and the ASPCA will automatically receive a donation when you file with TurboTax—at no cost to you. A donation of 8.5% is made for each TurboTax Online product and $0.50 for each TurboTax Online Federal Free Edition product.
April 15 is closer than you think! So get a jumpstart on your taxes—and make a difference for countless animals.
This is a great idea, what would be better is, have it so your tax preparer can check off a box that you can contribute $1. to a animal charity instead of giving the $1. to the crooked politicians. Several of my friends feel this way and we would like to see it by next year.
I wish I had known about this earlier. I already filed through someone else. 8.5% would have been a nice donation.
This is great, we always use turbo tax so will sign up so the donation will be received.
I wish this had been posted earlier! I already filed and know a lot who have also. Next year remind us again (But sooner, and multiple times in the month, just in case!)
I don't understand how it works, there is no registration at we-care.com, I clicked the link am taking to apage of buttons that sell the idea but no registration? If I click the top button to make the donation count, i am just re routed to turbo tax, again no way to designate donated to aspca. Someone please explain!
I wish I knew earlier about that. I already filed my tax, but that's a great idea. Well done ASPCA

Music Therapy at All Children's Hospital
Music Therapy is the use of music to achieve specific goals and is provided by a board certified music therapist. At All Children's Hospital, our music therapist uses music in individual and group therapy sessions to help children and families cope with pain, stress, fear, isolation, medical procedures and being in the hospital. The music therapist works with physicians, nurses, child life specialists, and other staff in a team approach.
Music is often a part of everyday life, and research shows that music affects mental, physical and emotional states. These qualities make it a valuable and effective tool in helping children and families recover health and well-being. The benefits of music therapy include, but are not limited to:
- Relief from pain and discomfort
- Reduction of stress
- Improved understanding of medical treatment
- Improved coping
- Strengthened immune system

Early gun doe season kicks off Oct. 24
By Kyle Lovern
October 20, 2013
By Bob Fala
Outdoor Columnist
If you're hankering for some of that first general gun hunting venison of the season, here's your chance. The earliest split of antlerless only gun deer hunting is slated for Thursday-Saturday (Oct. 24 -26) over a broad swath of all or parts of 45 of the Mountain State's 55 counties. But be advised that this option is available
for private lands only
with the proper Class N antlerless deer license(s).
This means that the vast national forests and wildlife refuges as well as state wildlife management areas are not open for this early deer hunt. With that qualifier in mind, it may be best to list the remaining ten West Virginia counties or parts thereof where the option is also not available. This includes the bow-hunting only local four counties of Logan, Mingo, Wyoming and McDowell. As well, portions of Clay, Fayette, Kanawha, Nicholas, Raleigh and Wayne are also closed.
Folks should review the regulations available in print or on-line at
for those specific county parts maps and other important details. Though the vast majority of the open counties or parts thereof are available on an unlimited over-the-counter Class N antlerless license basis, a group of ten counties or parts thereof required a prior application for a limited number of eligibility permits.
Locally, all of Boone County is within this limited prior application group. The others include all or parts of: Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Raleigh and Webster. Successful applicants would already have been notified by U. S. Mail as to their eligibility for this group of counties.
By the way, an antlerless deer is any deer having no antlers or having no antler greater than three-inches long above the hairline. The management concepts for the earlier antlerless gun deer season are fairly straightforward. They direct hunters to where they are needed the most, private lands. Deer over- population is rarely a problem on public lands where adequate hunting pressure is the norm.
For another, a sooner rather than later prescribed antlerless kill is more management savvy in view of the overall energy budget of the herd. That is, deer removed now, say as opposed to later in December are less of a drain on the limited autumn food supply. Likewise, breeding energy of the antlered buck segment for the mid-November mating season is also conserved.
The unseasonably warm weather seems to put the skids on the relatively new earlier hunting opportunities, including this one. A crisp cold weather snap could get the deer moving out of their sedentary summer patterns and stir the fervor of the hunter to boot. What's more, the proper care and cooling of the venison without the disturbance of flies and the risk of spoilage are even more important for these earlier than the past "traditional" period hunts.
Whether these earlier October hunts make for a new tradition of their own making still yet remains to be seen. In the meantime, be safe, enjoy and merely follow the rules. The option is entirely yours. Just don't miss out for not knowing about it.

The National Healthcare Crisis: Is ehealth a Key Solution?
2009, Business Horizons
Philip T. Powell, John Hill
Healthcare, the largest industry in the United States, is in crisis, and threatens to bankrupt the nation's economy. Medical errors kill an estimated 98,000 people per year, and accessibility to adequate healthcare is an increasing problem for much of the country's citizenry. Despite being one of the most important keys to resolving this crisis, a national electronic healthcare network (eHealth) is underappreciated and under-exploited, and faces several formidable barriers to implementation. Current and prospective national political leadership has focused narrowly on a subset of issues, in the belief that the crisis cannot be addressed holistically due to political interests. Yet the barriers that greatly impede eHealth's potential to help solve the crisis can only be removed in a timely manner by a comprehensive,
national framework that reshapes the legal, operational, and economic landscape for eHealth. Only a greater public awareness that encourages national legislative action can enhance eHealth's potential to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare while reducing its cost.
Hill, John and Philip T. Powell (2009), "The National Healthcare Crisis: Is ehealth a Key Solution?," Business Horizons, Vol. 52, No. 3, pp. 265-277.

Taking on a peak like Mount Everest or Ama Dablam, which Ballinger and Harrington have summited many times, involves months if not years of complex and careful planning. Before leading a trip with their Alpenglow Expeditions group, they study terrain and weather patterns, plot routes, decide where to camp, and manage equipment and supplies. Not long ago, they relied on outdated or inaccurate paper maps to inform their plan of attack. Sometimes maps of these areas didn't even exist. But now with iPad and the Gaia GPS topography app, they can see remote mountain regions in great detail.
- Base camp
- Camp 1
- Camp 2
- Camp 3
- Summit
Despite what the name suggests, base camp is far from the base of the mountain. On a typical big climb, Ballinger and Harrington and their team will helicopter in at around 9000 feet — roughly the highest one can go without acclimatization. From there it's a seven-to-eight-day trek to base camp at 16,000 feet. This is where they'll spend several weeks letting their bodies build up red blood cells to adjust to the lower oxygen levels.
Base camp is also where Ballinger and Harrington use their iPad to start blogging, posting photos, and making updates on social media. In the past, recounting their story would have had to wait weeks until they returned to civilization, but now they can edit and upload photos and videos right from camp on the iPad.
Soon they begin a series of exploratory trips, establishing several progressively higher campsites in preparation for a big summit push. In these "rotations," they return to base camp after climbing and spending nights at the higher camps. These preparatory climbs allow their bodies to adjust to the physical challenges of climbing while experiencing the punishing lack of oxygen.
At each stage of the climb, Ballinger and Harrington reduce the gear in their packs. So as the climb becomes more difficult, they're carrying only the most essential tools. And because it's a crucial part of how they navigate the mountain safely, the iPad makes it all the way to the top.
Beyond the grueling exertion and low oxygen levels, unexpected weather can be a climber's nightmare. A sudden violent whiteout can easily bring a climb to a halt. So Ballinger and Harrington need to rely on the waypoints they've marked on their iPad — essentially, digital breadcrumbs marking the best possible route. "On a bad-weather day we're checking the iPad every few minutes to make sure we're on track," says Harrington. "Sometimes we even keep it in our hands."*
"I've only summited about 50 percent of the mountains I've tried," says Ballinger. When they do reach the summit, it's an incredible moment — but then there's the matter of proving it. "Chronicling" an ascent requires convincing evidence for government agents and mountaineering organizations. Ballinger and Harrington use Gaia GPS on their iPad to find the exact true summit point and to drop a geotagged pin for the world to see. By planting this virtual flag they create a verifiable record that they were there.
Scaling the world's highest peaks isn't something that can be made completely safe. It will always be difficult, and it will always come with a lot of risk. And that's how it should be — after all, part of the allure of extreme climbing is the fact that not everyone can do this. But with the iPad, Ballinger and Harrington can navigate those breathtaking heights a little more carefully. And because these expeditions have been made at least somewhat safer, Harrington says, "We're willing to try new routes in more remote places now."

Are you ready? Halloween is just a week away. As most pet parents scramble to put the finishing touches on their own costumes, some are scrounging for the cutest or scariest attire they can find for their pets, too. But hold on—are Halloween costumes really okay for our furry friends?
It depends, say experts. Our vets and behaviorists weighed in and said putting your pet in costume is okay as long as you're certain he's comfortable in his holiday gear.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are three helpful tips to keep in mind:
Your pet's Halloween garb shouldn't constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes well in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, try switching to his birthday suit.
Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, tags or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween? Let us know in the comment—and be sure to tag us @ASPCA if you upload any pics of your festive friend to Twitter or Instagram.
For more holiday advice, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips.
I wouldn't exactly call putting a soft little outfit on my Chi torture. His fur is soooo thin it is like skin and he often gets cold in cooler temps. I do agree with everyone about safety and comfort but people whom "show" animals I think make them far more uncomfortable.
I have a mini schnauzer who will pick his sweater or jacket from his bin and bring it to me to put on, and I comply. He doesn't do this all the time, sometimes he'll do it before bed and sometimes he'll do it in the middle of the day. It's his choice. He does favor a flannel t-shirt so he has several. He'll also come to me and motion to take it off by biting and pulling on the side and I take it off. His clothes are not bulky or confining. He does not like the raincoat so we just use a golf umbrella if it's raining. He's 13 now and still pretty active (and smart).
I disagree. My dogs want to be dressed when it is raining, or cold. They have sweaters, jackets, house coats etc. & let me know when they want them off after they warm up by the fireplace. They are total hams when they are dressed and after a grooming. Costumes are ok so long as they are comfortable for our furry babies. Our Grand-puppies love it when I arrive with new dudes for them too. How do I know? They help open the packages and help me dress them by standing in front of me sideways and lifting their paws for each sleeve. They are a Chihuahua, English Springer, Hound, Minnie Weenie, and Mediums sized mixed breed.
Don't assume a dogs role in all this is merely that of "victim". Yes, there are animals who hate to be dressed up and there are plenty who will tolerate it. There are also a great many dogs that LOVE to be dressed up. I have a dog that gets super over the moon excited when I pull out any of her clothes.
My best friend's cat is an exception: she LOVES costumes, especially hats. Really loves them. She shoves her head under hats to try to put them on. Sulks if you take her costume off.
Basically, she's a little freak! :) Never met another cat like that . . .
The costume contest was started by the West Highland Society of Connecticut over 10 years ago. Since being a costume designer I had entered my westie in all the constume contests and always won 1st place. Of course I make sure he is comfortable. This group is run by professional adults that many of them do not
have children. He is only in the costume for 20 minutes to an half hour at the most
and I take it off him. This group has bi-Laws and dues attached. We meet about 4-5 times a year.
I have a Border Terrier Mix & she says NO to clothes. A scarf maybe! Jiggle bells for the Christmas Parade in town are okay but booties would not stay on one minute! I love her as I would my child but she sure is a furry dog! Ha!
If your pet is comfortable in his costume and not freaked out by it I say it's fine once maybe twice a year. What drives me crazy is those people who have their little foo foo dog dressed up 365 days a year. They don't let it walk anywhere, they push it in a baby stroller or other confining thing. it needs to be a dog first!!! Dogs need to walk.
I think a lot of these comments are putting too many dogs into one category. My dog LOVES to dress up. I literally ask him, "You want to put on some clothes?" and he gets all perky and runs into the bedroom. I grab a shirt and he shoves his head in it and becomes all warm and happy. He's a Chihuahua, don't know if that has much to do with it. I also live in Canada and he needs a snowsuit to go outside in the winter, nothing on him is uncomfortable, trust me I would know, he would be biting it and fidgeting around.
I think it just depends on the dog honestly. Some feel safe and secure, others feel restricted and annoyed. Forcing an animal who hates clothes to wear them is rather mean though, but other than that I think it's fine as along as the animal does not get hurt or is not upset/annoyed.
Also one little side note, I do dress him more for warmth, but it doesn't hurt to look cute too. xD
I don't have any children either, but I don't think that makes it ok to dress up my 3 dogs for Halloween! Come on, most of us know that animals are not comfortable in costumes or sweaters or anything that us as humans would wear. It is in their instinct not to have "clothes" on, so why would we want to make them miserable just to get some laughs and comments from others! I say no, let them be comfortable in their own fur coats given to them by God!!!
