David Bray, CIO, FCC
You think you're facing cybersecurity threats now just wait. Cyber threats coming at agencies will dramatically expand over the next five years as the amount of data and the use of mobile devices grow. It means agencies and contractors both need to think differently about cybersecurity. David Bray is the FCC's chief information officer. He tells executive editor Jason Miller about some potential ways to stay afloat in the rough cyber seas ahead.

Matt Clemens, Security Solutions Architect, Arxan Technologies
Pretty much everyone has a mobile device now. Lots of feds even carry more than one. And so the security of those devices and the apps on them have become increasingly important. How can you better secure those devices? And just what is the state of mobile security now? Matt Clemens, a security solutions architect at Arxan Technologies, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain. The short answer is there's a lot of work still to do.

Lithium Reduces Pathological Aggression and Suicidality: A Mini-ReviewMüller-Oerlinghausen B.a · Lewitzka U.b

From a practical point of view, the well-proven antisuicidal and anti-aggressive effects of lithium are of utmost importance for a rational, safe and economical treatment of patients with affective disorders. Regular lithium long-term treatment reduces the otherwise 2- to 3-fold increased mortality of untreated patients with severe affective disorders down to the level of the general population. This is mainly due to the reduced suicide risk. Many international studies have confirmed this fascinating property of lithium which so far has not been demonstrated with comparable evidence for any other psychotropic compound. The antisuicidal effects of lithium might possibly be related to its anti-aggressive effects which have been shown in various species, populations and settings, such as animals, inhabitants of nursing homes for the elderly, mentally handicapped subjects, children and adolescents with hyperactive, hostile and aggressive behavior, and particularly in hyperaggressive inmates of correction units and prisons.

UNO receives $1 million grant for inmate re-entry program
By Katie Knapp Schubert
Omaha, NE – A $1 million grant will help the University of Nebraska-Omaha continue an inmate re-entry program.
The program is called the Transformation Project. It just began its second year. Last year, 21 inmates at the Omaha Correctional Center took weekly classes on topics such as education, employment, social interaction, physical and mental health, and housing. Inmates also study the life and teachings of civil rights leader Malcolm X.
UNO officials hope to expand the program this summer to the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln. Omaha native John Morgan, the CEO of Minneapolis-based Winmark Corporation, made the $1 million donation.

Recipe by patriotizm
"I like to use brown rice whenever possible, but Spanish rice recipes seem to all call for white. This recipe is the result of many attempts to come up with an easy yet spicy (Tex-Mex) version."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (14 ounce) can
chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can
diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 teaspoon
1 cup
brown rice
I thought this was a great quick base recipe. I made it as specified, but used a can of diced tomatoes with habaneros. After I tasted the finished product, I added a bit more salt, a bit of hot sauce, and some garlic and onion powder and a couple sprays of faux butter spray to keep it moist and it was a nice accompaniment to our tacos.
i did exactly what it says. i burnt my freaking pan. like does brown rice not need water? of course it does! even with 5 cups it still doesnt taste done! good thing i know how to really make spanish rice.
15 Ratings
This was very good! I only had boil a bag brown rice, so I had to use that. I just boiled it in water like the box said to, then I brought the can of diced tomatoes (mine had jalapenos instead of green chiles) almost to a boil with some diced onion and green pepper ( I always add that to my spanish or mexican rice) and then added the bag of rice. Turned out delish! Will be making this way from now on!
decent, easy and quick but not fabulous
This was great for a base recipe and very similar to my white rice version. I followed the instructions the first time and it seemed a little bland. Next time, I will combine my two recipes and add 1 t. chili powder, 1 t. cumin, and a little more salt (approx. 1/2 t.).
Being latina I love my Mexican rice! I have trying to make it using brown rice and always came out no bueno. This is on point! Next time I may add olives and hot rotel!! Love this!! Thank you!!
Good recipe- I make this all the time with the "Refried beans without the refry" recipe from this site and roll up and freeze a bunch of burritos- good stuff!
This is a nice easy recipe to follow. But next time I will reduce the 1 teas. salt to 1/2 teas. and see if that helps. Otherwise it would have been great.

Though City Council races are technically nonpartisan, the council conflicts are often rife with partisan overtones.
The Republican Party urges voters to vote yes on both propositions. The Democratic Party says voters should vote no.
Kern, Felien and Feller are Republicans. Kern and Felien can be found at Tea Party rallies. Felien is the treasurer for and a voting member on the executive board of The Republican Party of San Diego County. As of March, months before the nomination period for the Nov. 6 election, which is from July 16 to Aug. 10, the Republican Party of San Diego County had already endorsed Kern for mayor. He is running against Jim Wood from a safe seat. Feller is quick to tout his own conservative credentials.
"Ideologically, I'm a very conservative Christian person," Feller said. "My values are what they are, not every issue is cut and try."
"The E and F proposals ... to me it is something that I've felt is out of whack for 11 years."
Feller was first elected to the council nearly 12 years ago.
Wood is also a Republican, but describes himself as a moderate. He has advocated from the dais for a half-cent sales tax, which has not caught on with the rest of the council, rather than making cuts to city services. Sanchez is a Democrat, and has the most openly contentious relationship with the opposing council group.
The coalition that began as the opposition to Proposition E, or vacancy decontrol, has coined the term FFK, or Feller, Felien and Kern, to describe those who they say are ruining the city. Many signs read no on E and F, lumping the items together. ACTION's political fundraising arm, Taxpayers for Oceanside Neighborhoods, reported paying for some of the signs.
Likewise, a campaign supporting vacancy decontrol, which has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the mobile home park owners as corporations, spent most of its cash in support of Proposition E but paid for some Yes on F signs, too.
That committee, known in part as TaxPayers & Property Owners for Fairness, Yes on E, reported in its most recent campaign disclosure paying $4,832 in six installments for campaign literature to support Proposition F. Felien had his own Proposition F political group, called Majority Elections Now — Gary Felien for Yes on Prop F. That group reported raising about $7,482 and spending $10,580 as of May 19, the end date for the most recent financial disclosure period.
Proposition F, Corso said, would draw out elections and require candidates to raise more money to be competitive, largely excluding candidates who don't have significant financial support. That, she said, would allow the council majority to get more like-minded individuals in office, increasing their power.
Proposition F proponents, specifically Felien, say the measure actually aims to ensure that Oceanside voters are better represented.
"The other side has this approach that, if the council did it, we have to be against it," Felien said. "The whole idea of amending the charter is to improve the election environment not just for us now, but for people that run years and years from now."
The three council members who make up the majority point out their political opponents receive substantial financial support from labor groups.

So I am currently working with a horse that really has no stop on him. Vocal cue doesn't do anything, checking on the reins does a little but not a lot and seat cues are failing as well.
I in no way want to slide, I repeat NO SLIDE, I just want a nice fundamentals to getting a horse to think about stopping when I ask and in a timely manner. I've ridden my share of reiners in the past but all were finished and didn't require me starting their training in stopping. Thought to ask reiners for their advance despite not wanting to slide because I am a reiner at heart and know you guys can help!

PROVIDENCE is a vacation paradise located on a lush three acre estate on tropical CAPTIVA ISLAND Florida. Located on Roosevelt Channel, a short walk along a sandy path to the Gulf of Mexico, Providence offers unlimited opportunities to enjoy the sun, the sand and the water!
PROVIDENCE is an architectural marvel, available for rent after two years of extensive renovation. Turkish travertine tile, hand scraped wood floors, quartz kitchen countertops, new furniture, and floor to ceiling windows contribute to a warm, inviting Beach Chic look.
PROVIDENCE is a multi-functional home that sleeps 13, welcomes families looking for time together, couples seeking respite from their responsibilities, fishermen, golfers, anyone seeking time to unwind, sun to soak in, water to refresh and a beautiful tropical island experience to remember.
PROVIDENCE has four levels of living space that combine utility and utopia. The ground level begins at the edge of the dramatic heated pool with over 2000 square feet of covered outdoor space as well as indoor space to dry off after a swim in the pool or the Gulf.
The first floor foyer welcomes you with a 24 foot ceiling and a magnificent view of Roosevelt Channel. The CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN has new cabinets, new appliances, quartz countertops, a marble top island and a dining area with seating for 14.
The LIVING ROOM is a comfortable, peaceful spot to read, visit, snooze or just sit and absorb the beautiful views of the water that lie just beyond the sliding glass doors. The FAMILY ROOM is outfitted with a plasma HDTV and is highlighted by a handmade entertainment center made of dark antique teak with louvered doors that reflects its West Indies heritage. Off the foyer is a half bathroom. The FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM has a queen bed as well as a daybed. It has a beautiful private bathroom with water views. It also has a deck that faces the Gulf.
The second floor has three bedrooms as well as the laundry room. The MASTER BEDROOM has a king bed and an expansive deck overlooking Roosevelt Channel. There is a large walk in closet, and a large bathroom with double sinks a shower, a Jacuzzi and a deck facing the Gulf. The THIRD BEDROOM also has an expansive deck facing Roosevelt Channel. It has a queen bed as well as a daybed, and a private bathroom. The FOURTH BEDROOM has a king bed, a Bamboo Canopy twin bed as well as a private bathroom with double sinks.
The third floor provides a truly special experience. The vista from the deck provides a view of the Gulf, Pine Island Sound, Roosevelt Channel, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. This is a view that only the island's birds and parasailers enjoy. Inside is a sectional couch that provides a comfortable place to absorb the breathtaking sight.
PROVIDENCE has two SCREENED PORCHES off the main living level. One off the dining room with seating for six and one off the family room with wicker furniture that literally brings the outdoors inside.
Keywords: Single Family
The home is at the end of a road winding through 5 acres of landscaping and faces east on Blind Pass which teams with wildlife: ospreys, eagle, egrets, ibis, pelicans and more; fish off the dock include sea trout, sheepshead (if you can filet this fish, it is great eating), and daily dolphin sitings. Sit on the large dock to fish or enjoy the wildlife and the passing boat traffic. Large, fenced, heated pool with copious sitting room. Outdoor table tennis, barbecue and a nearby bar fridge in the room with a billiard table. First level has a very large deck, 2 screened lanais, a large open space for sitting, dining, tv watching. Kitchen has all the modern amenities (needs some additional wares such as bowls for soup or cereal). One bedroom on this level with en suite (all bedrooms have their own bath and shower) plus a bathroom for guests. Third floor has a master suite and large closet with a whirlpool bath. Back balcony and large outside sitting area overlooking the water. Smaller bedroom on the opposite side in front with a deck and a large king bedroom is the fourth bedroom. All bedrooms have televisions and ample storage and three have a single bed as well as the main bed. The top floor has a sitting area with a large sectional sofa and a balcony.
The house has ample linens and plush towels for use at the pool or on the Gulf front beach (which is accessed by a short dedicated walkway across Captiva Drive). A large garage contains many bikes, a wagon, pool and beach toys, and folding chairs for the beach. Easily accessed wifi and cable television.
Close to restaurants: Mad Hatter, Sunset Grille, Lazy Flamingo Key LimeBistro, Crowsnest, Old Captiva House, Mucky Duck and small stores (one a short walk across the bridge at Blind Pass, others at the north end of the Island). We used the marinas at Jensens and at Tween Waters for boat and fishing charters over the 6 week stay. Make the trip to Cabbage Key and Cayo Costa.
Tranquil sanctuary away from the fray where adult couples, their children and good friends can congregate for a great and relaxing time in a special part of the world.
Drawbacks include the absence of an elevator or any access for the disabled traveller and a sometimes frustrating trips off the islands to the mainland (allow ample time to get to the international airport when leaving) or returning (use West Gulf to Rabbit Road rather than the challenging Periwinkle Way).
We had great assistance from the staff who take care of the house.
Providence was an amazing house with unbelievable views from every room, tons of space and plenty of activities to keep us entertained. Each morning and evening we felt we were watching a National Geographic movie looking off the back porch into the bay as osprey, ibis and egrets feasted in the receding tides and 18" fish were bounding out of the water 10 feet at a time. The beach was beautiful and isolated and just across the street. The house was perfect for children due to the openness of the kitchen and living spaces and the multiple gates that limited our toddlers access to the pool. While great for young children, the kayaks, ping pong, and bikes made it great for any age."
Providence is magical, and exceeded our expectations. Staying on the bay side was best for enjoying the wonderful, private property. The design of the house truly integrates the inside and outside. I can't imagine a better place to stay on captiva. Bedrooms large and comfortable, kitchen very well equipped, views incomparable. Everything that is said here is true, if not understated! We will take our family back if we can get the time. We want to go back!
We have visited the Sanibel/Captiva area at least 20 times and this home was our finest experience. There were 10 of us staying in the house but we each had our own space and plenty of room. It is ideal for large groups/families.
This was our first experience staying on the bay/channel side and we loved it. It was just like having our own wildlife sanctuary in our back yard - eagles, osprey, hundreds of birds, flamingoes, dolphins. Access to kayaks and bicycles provided a wonderful outlet for athletic young adults and children. They spent hours kayaking up and down the channel and biked on Captiva and on Sanibel. Fishing was fun off the dock - we used frozen shrimp purchased at the little general store - and were able to catch a number of fish - including the fish out 10 yr old granddaughter caught 5 minutes after throwing in her line.
The sunrises were exquisite - I cherished the quiet time with the orange sky over the east horizon. We marveled at the incredible sky - we even saw a shooting star from the "captain's loft" as we watched the full moon rise over the channel. It was an experience you can't duplicate anywhere.
The beach was wide and beautiful with wonderful soft sand - and just down the beach at an inlet were piles and piles of shells. The house provided chairs, umbrellas and lots of pool and beach toys. Pool or beach?? Tough decisions we had to make every day. Everyone loved the whole week - "our best family vacation ever!" (A quote from our granddaughters.)
We will most definitely be back. Thank you Michael for the wonderful "gift" when we arrived and for providing our family the opportunity to enjoy a week in such a beautiful home.
Bob & Sheri Egge
Our extended family chose Providence as a place to get together for our Christmas holidays this year. It was the perfect family retreat. When we walked in we couldn't stop ooh-ing and ahh-ing about how beautiful the house was and how gorgeous the views were from the many decks, porches, and outdoor spaces. The owner had tastefully decorated the house for Christmas so we were able to convince the grandchildren that Santa would, indeed, find them here and put presents under the lighted palm tree! The grandchildren fell in love with the perfectly heated pool and the young adults played ping pong and pool every day. We took the kayaks out and toured the adjacent waterways and islands. Exotic birds were everywhere. Flocks of white pelicans liked to hang out on the sand bars in the channel and frigates, osprey, herons, and ibis were everywhere! We even saw dolphins playing in the channel and at the beach. The beach was awesome! You just walk down the winding driveway and cross the street to the path that leads to the beach. Some days we were the only ones at the beach, so it felt secluded and private. That is exactly what we wanted. Even in December, we were able to get out in the water and swim. It was cool but refreshing. We took a Captiva boat cruise to a nearby island for an afternoon adventure. Dolphins played happily in our wake as we cruised along. They were cute. The shells and driftwood at the deserted island were fabulous! We even found a whole sand dollar. We also went to the Ding Darling Wildlife refuge which is interesting and educational for the children. We saw big water turtles and an alligator as well as crabs and several different species of birds. We all agreed, however, that watching the wildlie from the decks at Providence was just as amazing as the wilflife refuge. The adult children took the bikes out for a ride which was fun for them.
Many thoughtful touches were provided at Providence. A welcome basket greeted us when we arrived. There was an ample supply of house towels as well as beach towels, and plenty of luxurious linens. We had rented a baby crib and high chair from a local rental agency and that was set up and waiting for us upon our arrival. There were life jackets for the boats, and plenty of sand toys and swimming pool toys. There were beach chairs and even a wagon to carry beach supplies in. There were plenty of family games and puzzles.
We enjoyed our stay and will certainly return!
Our family spent the first week of November at Providence. It was perfection! The house, set on beautiful grounds and set way back from the road, provides an amazingly rainforest like feel. The house is an Architectural Digest experience. The open floor plan, huge expanse of glass and high ceilings provide a wonderful sense of space. And then there is the vista! Facing the Channel, we were able to enjoy an incredible view of nature at its best. Birds of all kinds inhabit the area. Two bald eagles visited our roof. The kitchen is well appointed and a joy to work in. We especially appreciated the large marble top island for serving. It made everything so easy. The house is thoughtfully furnished so that everyone can enjoy casual living. The furniture is inviting and comfortable. We loved eating out on the porch off of the dining room. All of the bedrooms were beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. The master suite, with its enormous bathroom and deck that continued the view, was fabulous. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom and most their own deck. We also appreciated that there was an abundance of towels. The conveniently located washer and dryer added a bonus.There is plenty to do without even leaving the premises. We spent loads of time at the pool. It has plenty of lounges and tables. And, is on the same level as the ping- pong table and billiard room. There is even a small refrigerator in the billiard room for drinks. Very convenient! There is a private dock. We hardly saw any other people the entire time were there. The three double kayaks were great. The Channel is beautiful and peaceful and the kayaks gave us access to exploring. In addition to all the birds, we saw manatees and other water life. There are a number of bikes for those who choose to ride. The beach is a very short distance away. Just cross the road, go down a short path and you are there. There is a wagon provided so that you can easily transport the beach chairs provided. Do not miss the sunsets. They are beyond description. It's a perfect spot for champagne and a photo op.Our family of ten (my husband & I, our sons, their wives and our four grandsons, ages 3-15) gathered to celebrate special birthdays. Michael, the owner, is gracious and helpful. We could not have chosen a better place. Everyone loved it.
Providence is exactly as mentioned in the write-up: beautiful sunrises, spacious open indoor and outdoor space, beautifully decorated and centrally located, just across the street to the beach. The home is great for entertaining and allows you to have the space when you want to have quiet time to read or fun time with your party. Definitely a great home. The pool area is spacious with spots to either sunbathe or lay in the shade. It was a pleasure working with Michael, the owner.

Help & Resources
We have recently changed our website in order to provide better service to our users. We are no longer an "opt-in" directory but instead a Premium cell phone lookup directory. Therefore, there is no need for you to enter your cell phone number.
National Cellular Directory is a FREE cellular phone directory/reverse cell phone directory because we feel that there should be a way to lookup a cell phone number without having to pay for it. That is why we created the Happy Hour. Happy Hour happens for 1 hour each day and is a time where our users can lookup cell phone numbers absolutely free! You can learn more about Happy Hour here.
Since we are no longer an "opt-in" directory we do not require our users to enter their cell phone number when registering.
The reason your friends number may not be showing up is because he/she has not yet entered their name and cell phone number into our cell directory or they have not elected to opt-in. National Cellular Directory is a voluntary cell phone directory where members enter there own names and cell numbers into our secure database. This is why we ask you that you enter your own name and number - so your friends can find you.
The decision to have U.S. Free Cell Phone Directory is a very touchy and controversial topic. While there are many against this type of directory there are also many supporters in favor of a U.S. cell phone directory. With the exponential growth and popularity of cell phones it is going to become more and more difficult to keep track of family and friends cell phone numbers. Of course most cell phones have a built in phone book to store and find personal cell numbers but there comes a time when a this directory would come in handy. Say you need to get a hold of a neighbor, or your child's friend, or your child's friends parents, or a co-worker. Times like this is when it would nice to have a free phone directory where you could trace cell phone numbers free. Also, how many times have you received a phone call from a number that you didn't know? This has happens all the time and unless you have the number in your cell phone you more then likely will not know who is calling you. This is when a free reverse cell phone directory would come in handy. A reverse cell phone directory is a directory where you enter the cell phone number in the database and it tells you the name associated with that cell phone number.
They don't want the public to have access to their mobile phone numbers. They want their cell numbers and related information to remain private.
They are afraid that telemarketers will get a hold of there cell numbers from a directory that is free. This is a major concern for cell phone subscribers as most know who annoying telemarketers can be.
The fear of other personal information being available to the public. If cell phone numbers are to be made public many of opponents believe that other personal information will also become public.
Many supporters believe that more and more people are using there cell phones as there primary home phone. As this trend increases it will become more difficult to find family and friends cellular numbers. Just as there are the local phone books for landline phones they believe there should also be a free phone number directory for cellular phones.
They see a great need for a free reverse cell phone directory. For all of those unknown phone numbers we get a free reverse cell phone directory would be great so we could find out who is calling us.
People keep changing their cell numbers and it is hard to keep track of all of these mobile number changes. Even though it is now possible to keep your cellular number no matter what carrier you are with, people still change their numbers in order to get a local phone number.
Finding a way to trace cell phone numbers free can be a very daunting and expensive task. With the overwhelming growth of cell phone use now days, many people are becoming more and more reliable on their cell phone. Also, many cell phone users are canceling their landline phone service and using their cell phone as their home phone. With the continued growth of cell phones and their functionality, the use to lookup cell phone numbers becomes greater and greater. So, the question is: how does one search cell phone numbers?
There are many different websites on the internet where you can search for someone's phone number (whether its cell or landline). Some of the sites include: http://www.phonesearches.com/, http://www.fonefinder.net/, etc. But with many of these sites you have to pay to lookup cell phone numbers. Also many of these websites do not have the most current cell phone information or simply do not have a big enough list of cell phone numbers for a search to be effective. Other cell phone number websites offer a free search such as http://mobilephoneno.com/ but these type of cell phone directory sites either again don't have a big enough database of cell phone numbers or cover too wide of geographical area for searches to be effective.
At National Cellular Directory we focus on one geographical area (the US) and have one of the most (if not the most) comprehensive database of cell phone numbers available. You can search cell phone numbers as many times as you would like at no cost. The only thing we ask is that you enter your cell phone number in our free cell phone directory so we can make one of the biggest cell phone number directories even bigger!

Inbreeding level does not induce female discrimination between sibs and unrelated males in guppies

Significant empirical evidence has demonstrated the importance of discriminative mate choice as a mechanism to avoid inbreeding. Incestuous mating can be avoided by recognition of kin. The guppy, Poecilia reticulata, is a livebearer with a polygamous mating system and active female choice. Despite potential inbreeding costs in the guppy, Viken et al. (Ethology 112:716–723, 2006) and Pitcher et al. (Genetica 134:137–146, 2008) have found that females do not discriminate between sibs and unrelated males. However, populations experiencing different inbreeding histories can have different levels of inbreeding avoidance, and it is possible that the lack of inbreeding avoidance observed in guppies is a consequence of using outbred fish only. Here we tested the preference of female guppies with different inbreeding coefficients, for olfactory cues of males that were either unrelated but had the same inbreeding coefficient, or were related (i.e. brother) with the same inbreeding coefficient. We found no evidence that female guppies preferred unrelated males with the same inbreeding coefficient. Moreover, inbreeding level did not influence female preference for unrelated males, suggesting that inbreeding history in a population has no influence on female discrimination of unrelated males in guppies.

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Nasty Gals In The Wild: Jessica of Vintage Virgin
We've been devout fans of Texan blogger Vintage Virgin and her impressive knack for giving a fresh spin to retro styles for quite some time now, so we had to get the scoop on what inspires the girl behind the vintage sunnies:
First fashion memory: I went to a David Bowie and Billy Idol concert with my uncle when I was 8 and dressed up like the love child of Diana Ross and Punky Brewster. I got so many comments that night that I didn't want it to end. After that, I was hooked!
Your three wardrobe essentials: A shitload of jewelry, a statement bag and vintage everything!
Favorite fashion decade: This is a hard one because I love them all but if I had a gun to my head, I would pick the '60s, man!
Style muses: Twiggy and Peggy Moffitt.
What are you most excited about wearing right now? Crochet, crochet and more crochet!
One thing you couldn't live without: My son, Ephraim. I was a wild child growing up and when he came along, I was able to calm down and focus on my potential. I honestly would be nothing without him!
Speaking of, how did you start blogging? I would search high and low for a blog with versatile style and clothes I could afford. Once I couldn't find it, I decided to start my own! I just wanted people to know you don't need to spend a fortune to look this good and everything's better in vintage!
Your fave NG pieces at the moment: The Lace Bell Bottom Pant, because I love a good bell bottom, especially in lace! The Crissy Cross Romper, because I'm a romper whore and the one-shoulder and print takes the cake. The Copen Platform, because you get a lot of height and a little vintage all in one. Last but not least, the Sienna Scalloped Crochet Tunic. Since my latest obsession is crochet, this is a must-have in my wardrobe to pair with my cutoffs. The slouch, the fit, the semi-circle scallop bottom…LOVE!

Frankfort, Kentucky - You don't have to wait until midnight April 30 to apply for a Kentucky elk hunting permit. You can avoid an Internet traffic jam at the deadline by applying sooner than later at www.fw.ky.gov.
This year, Kentucky will issue 10 youth permits and 1,000 general quota hunt permits through a random drawing conducted by the Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Technology. The quota hunt permit number is 105 more than last season and represents an all-time high for the state.
Elk hunts are open to Kentucky residents and those who live outside of the state.

Frankfort, KY. - Students in the fourth through sixth grade still have time to apply for summer conservation camps operated by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
The camp application deadline was recently extended to May 15 to allow families more time to plan summer activities for their children. Each weeklong camp session offers kids a healthy dose of outdoor fun along with skills designed to build self-sufficiency.
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife operates three camps on Cumberland, Grayson and Kentucky lakes.
"There are still spots available," said Laura Burford, assistant director of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife's Information and Education Division. "There are available weeks at all three camps. Parents should contact their local conservation educator, call the department at 1-800-858-1549 or visit our website at fw.ky.gov for more information."

Fairfax, Virginia - After announcing the eight teams who will compete for this year's NCAA Rifle Championships earlier this week, the NCAA has released the selected rosters and the individual shooters chosen to participate.
Held March 8-9 at the Converse Hall and French Field House on Ohio State's campus, this year's championships can be expected to come down to the wire. Defending champs Texas Christian looks not only for its first back-to-back win, but a third championship in four years. Kentucky, 2011 winner, has its eye on reclaiming the throne. Dynasties Alaska-Fairbanks and West Virginia are both in the running and would each like to add another championship to their double digit wins.

The Outdoor Channel's Friends of NRA television show follows Matt and Jessie Duff as they travel around the United States in search of the NRA experience. After a few leisurely episodes in Season 3, it's time for Friends of NRA to go to work.
During episode 4, scheduled to air Sunday night, Matt and Jessie return from their South American excursion only to make way for the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. That's where Jessie plans to compete in the 1st Annual Benelli Tactical Shotgun Championship.

Fairfax, Virginia - The NCAA Rifle season takes a break this time of year to allow students to focus on their school work and the upcoming winter break. Now that the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association poll is out, we see there was some change, but not among the top-ranked teams.
More on the NCAA Rifle rankings ...
Fairfax, Virginia - West Virginia has been unseated by defending champions Texas Christian in the most recent Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association poll that now has the Horned Frogs back on top.
After dominating a four-team invitational at Ohio State and setting a school record for team aggregate at 4708, Texas Christian leaped from No. 3 to No. 1 in NCAA Rifle. WVU did not falter as they beat North Carolina State the same weekend, however TCU's big win at Ohio State was enough to propel them to first and end WVU's reign over the poll at five weeks.
More on the shakeups in NCAA Rifle ...
The top of the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association poll looks the same as it did two weeks ago as top-ranked West Virginia watches Kentucky and Texas Christian University trade spots again. The defending champion Horned Frogs, ranked No. 1 preseason, fell back a spot to West Virginia after the opener and have been battling with Kentucky for second ever since.
The Wildcats, themselves champions in 2011, began the season at No. 2 and shifted to No. 3 after the rise of West Virginia. In Week 3 they bumped Texas Christian only to find their standings swapped again by Week 4. Now in Week 5, the two have switched ranks again after Kentucky's win at North Carolina State.

National Refuse To Be A Victim® Coordinator Ruthann Sprague asked for a favor today. Turns out that a course taught by one of her instructors (Aquil Bey) was highlighted in the local paper. An instructor with pretty impressive credentials.
"Aquil is an RTBAV Regional Counselor," said Sprague. He's also an NRA Training Counselor with ratings in eight NRA disciplines. It is a wonderful example of using the Refuse To Be A Victim® program in the community.
"Can we mention this on the blog?"
Sure we can:

Prelude to a Murder
The government's campaign to get Fred Hampton began long before it finally succeeded in killing him.
A few minutes before dawn on June 4, Merlin Nygren, Assistant Deputy Superintendent of Chicago police and the officer in charge that morning, got the word from his dispatcher: "The FBI has informed us they are going to raid the Black Panther headquarters on Madison Street. They request that all Chicago police cars stay out of the area." The message came through loud and clear; this was going to be a performance by the Feds.
The first thing they did was to seal off the area surrounding the ghetto building at 2350 W. Madison Street nestled solidly in the heart of the riot-ravaged West Side. One police car swooped down on the intersection of Madison and Western to reroute traffic. An FBI car did the same thing a block away. By sunrise, the operation was under way.
FBI cars with revolving red Mars lights blinking moved in on Panther headquarters and disgorged an array of agents. On their left arms, they had safety-pinned white armbands with red letters: "U.S. Department of Justice." Across their chests, they wore light olive-green bullet-proof vests, harbingers of an expected shoot-out.
Marlin Johnson, special agent in charge of the Chicago FBI office, came dressed in a dark brown suit, white shirt and a wide-brimmed hat, like a businessman. His business was to lead a raid on the black revolutionary organization which is developing a nasty habit of unsettling local, state and national defenders of the status quo.
Several G-men quickly clambered up a fire escape of the building next to the Panthers', jumped to the roof of the headquarters, spread out for escape attempts and in perfect gun position for any action that might occur on Madison Street. Down in the street, more agents took cover behind cars and glued their eyes to the doorway leading to the sec-ond- and third-floor offices of the Panthers. Their weaponry included heavy firearms, machine guns, shotguns and tear gas.
When efforts to coax the Panthers out of their offices failed, the G-men took the sledge-hammer route, rushed the headquarters and took into custody--without resistance--eight Black Panthers, two of them female. By the time the G-men left, revolutionary posters had been torn from the walls, lists of names of Panther lawyers, contributors and other supporters had been confiscated. Office equipment and some weapons were carted out and petitions with more than 9,000 signatures seeking an appeal bond for jailed Illinois Panther leader Fred Hampton had disappeared. Cash--something more than $1,700--was taken. Food for the Panthers' breakfast for poor children program had been trampled and slung around the office. At this writing, only the money had been returned. The FBI raided the Panther headquarters without a search warrant. They carried only an arrest warrant for George Sams, Jr., whom they described as a Panther wanted for murder in New Haven.
Sams was nowhere to be found in the Chicago Black Panther headquarters. But the eight Panthers arrested were charged with harboring a fugitive. Sixteen days later, the charges against the eight were dismissed.
After the Chicago raid, the FBI or police conducted in rapid succession raids on Panthers in Des Moines, Indianapolis and Denver. Panthers have been arrested in Seattle, Eugene, Ore., New York City, Newark, Baltimore, Salt Lake City, numerous California cities, to mention a few incidents of recent weeks.
The nation-wide harassment of Black Panthers, which includes extraordinary means of trying to keep the Black Panther newspaper from being distributed, has reached such proportions that the Panthers scheduled a Revolutionary Conference for a United Front against Fascism in Oakland, Calif on July 18-21. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, were to gather for what could be one of the decade's most influential meetings
On the day after the Chicago raid, Black Panther Party chairman, Bobby Seale, said that more than forty Panther leaders and more than 100 members had been arrested across the country in two months. In Seale's words, the arrests are "nothing more than Richard M. Nixon's operations of attempting to destroy the national and state level Black Panther Party leaderships." Describing the G-men as "Fascist FBI pigs," Seale said the reason behind the alleged plot to destroy the Panthers is the federal government's horror of Socialist programs, which the Panthers advocate. He said US officials are employing local law-enforcement agencies in their conspiracy to remove Panther leaders from the streets and thereby kill off the movement. In his annual report, released July 15, J. Edgar Hoover singled out the Panthers as being, among Negro militant groups, the "greatest threat to the internal security of the country."
The Panther party's top leadership has already been skimmed off, each with a different kind of spoon. Minister of defense Huey P. Newton is in prison, convicted of killing an Oakland, Calif., policeman. Panthers view him as a political prisoner. Bobby Hutton, the party's treasurer, was killed by police a little more than a year ago. The Black Panther newspaper declares that "from that point on there have been some twenty Panthers murdered by the nation's pigs and their running dogs."

WALLA WALLA -- Local residents wheeled in more than 3,500 old tires to collection events last month, organizers have reported.
Funded by a state Department of Ecology grant, the collections in Walla Walla, Burbank and Waitsburg harvested a total of 3,548 tires, said Tom Glover, Walla Walla Joint Community Development Agency director.
The grant money came from a $1 fee charged on all new tires sold in Washington state. Funding has already been secured for two more tire collections in the county next spring, Glover said.
Residents were able to dispose of up to 10 tires per household, but larger numbers of tires were allowed where property owners were making a sincere effort to reduce or eliminate piles of tires on their property. All collected tires were taken to Portland and shredded by Tire Disposal and Recycling Inc. for use in new products.
The events relied on hard-working volunteers, who generously put in a combined total of 138.5 hours for all three events, Glover said in a release. Helpers included members of Walla Walla Community College local Phi Beta Lambda Chapter, Blue Mountain Action Council's Commitment to Community, Walla Walla High School students, joint development agency employees and families and city and county employees.
Anyone who would like to volunteer to help at next spring's collection events can call 524-4717 or 524-4626.
