Before applying for a wild bison license, the applicant should review the tentative wild bison hunting information, specifically the limitations column, to determine the type of license that is valid in the specific hunt area for which you are applying.
The wild bison priority list is valid from August 1 of the application year to January 31 of the next year. Applicants may apply for either the Type 1, any wild bison priority list or the Type 4, female/calf wild bison priority list. There is no guarantee a wild bison hunt will be held in any particular year.Hunting opportunities depend on bison movement into the hunt areas.
If an applicant is selected from the priority listing, a wild bison license fee must be remitted to the appropriate regional office before a license is issued.
No person who is issued a wild bison hunting license and who harvests a wild bison after January 31,2001, shall be eligible to apply for or receive a hunting license for wild bison in any future year.

After the 100% drop deadline, there is a period for individual withdrawal from classes. Withdrawal results in a "W" on your academic record. Individual course withdrawal will produce no tuition credit or refund. Students may withdraw from individual classes by accessing the Registration menu from their my.emich account.
Students who have a financial or other hold that prevents registration may withdraw in person at the Office of Records and Registration Service Counter, 303 Pierce Hall, or by calling the Registration office 734.487.2300. Automatic withdrawal is permitted through two-thirds of the semester/subterm. See calendars in the EMU Student Guide, for specific deadlines.
EMU policy provides students an opportunity to withdraw after the official deadline from individual class or the entire semester/term, if they have extenuating circumstances of recent occurence, that clearly prevent them from completing the course or courses in question.
Both undergraduate and graduate students who would like to petition for a late withdrawal may do so by completing and submitting the Late Withdrawal/Tuition Appeal Request form to the Office of Records and Registration, 303 Pierce Hall. Students must provide evidence of extenuating circumstances and withdrawals are not automatic.
**If you have questions regarding your Late Withdrawal/Tuition Appeal, please send an email via your my.emich email account to: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you decide not to attend a semester for which you have registered, you must cancel your entire class schedule or be subject to financial and/or academic penalties. If you neglect to notify the Office of Records and Registration, the University has no way to know that you do not plan to attend and will continue to reserve your space in the class. Non-attendance and non-payment of bills will not result in any class being dropped.
Through the 100% deadline, a total withdrawal will result in a refund of 100% of tuition and *fees. Through the 50% deadline, total withdrawal will result in a 50% refund of tuition and *fees and "W" grades. Through the 25% deadline, total withdrawal will result in a 25% refund of tuition and *fees and "W" grades.
*Excludes the non-refundable registration fee

5 websites to improve your blog headlines
I have found that the most difficult part of writing my blog posts is the headlines. I can write content all day long, but when it comes to trying it all together under on neat little title, I tend to fall a little short. So, over the next month, my goal is to really work on improving my headlines (of course, I'd love your thoughts on them too!). In order to improve my headlines, I have been studying other writers headlines. Here are 5 websites that I have found with great headlines:
1. Perez Hilton. I explained this one a while ago, and I stick to my claim that he has incredible headlines. We can all take a cue from his style.
2. Copyblogger. While I am not an avid reader of the site, there are some killer suggestions in the content on header writing (and obviously, they work, judging by his traffic). Plus, they are usually about business so they fit into my writing more effectively.
3. HotAir. Whether you are conservative or liberal, you can't ignore good headlines. Hot Air creates some awesome headlines for their own posts, but also feature other great articles (with killer headlines). I love the hints of sarcasm and word choices…
4. Awkward Family Photos (or a similar humor site). While these sites have nothing to do with business, their titles are almost always clever and eye catching. For example, a couple days ago, the headline was "Eye Contact (back by popular demand", funny right? Also makes you want to click, which is the point!
5. Angry Julie Monday. This is the only one on the list that isn't a "professional blogger" which is exactly why I added her. She doesn't have hours to spend coming up with these titles. She works, raises a family, and still her titles, like this week's "Squirrels in my pants, what?" are always clever and creative. Plus they are usually on point (read it, you'll get it) which makes them even more impressive.
Whose headlines do you love/recommend?

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Thinking about starting a business? Think you need a lot of money or that you need to know venture capitalists to fund your dream? Think again.
As the year winds down, thoughts naturally reflect on the year's accomplishments, challenges, regrets and hopes that we carry into the new year. As an entrepreneur, I have found it an excellent time to take stock and make an inventory of the resources and assets that I have come to rely upon and expect to continue to value in the future. With that in mind, I wanted to share my year-end inventory of programs, resources, and organizations that are serving the interests of entrepreneurs.
This captivating and motivating slideshow captures the every individual's "Dear Future Entrepreneur" message.
iStart, the leading online community for business competitions, has added some valuable functionality that makes it even easier for aspiring entrepreneurs to tell the story of their great idea.
While policymakers scramble to make sense of the market volatility and rationalize our credit downgrade, many Americans have been left to fend for themselves. The Ice House Entrepreneurship Program, a two-part learning project is designed to remind us of the fundamental concepts of an entrepreneurial mindset and the opportunities it can provide.
We recently hosted the inaugural class for the Ice House Entrepreneurship Education Program. The program coincidentally started just as the debt ceiling debacle was playing out in Washington. There was a shared moment of awareness that maybe those we feel should be making the economic ecosystem a better place for entrepreneurs were in fact incapable of doing so, and even doing things that were self-destructive; a reality driven home by the subsequent credit downgrade by S&P.
Kansas City will soon receive internet connectivity that will be one hundred times faster than anywhere else in the world. What should they do with it?

VMRI Bldg 3
Dr. Miller's research focuses on the interface between viruses and the cells they infect. Several projects in the laboratory focus on defining, at a molecular level, ways in which segmented double-stranded RNA viruses of the Reoviridae family commandeer cellular space and proteins to replicate their genomes, translate their proteins, and assemble into progeny virions. These projects focus on understanding the inner workings of distinct inclusion structures (termed viral factories) formed within the cellular cytoplasm during viral infection, and determining what drives the creation of these structures, and what role they play in regulation of viral RNA transcription, translation and replication during infection. Dr. Miller has also been a key player in the development of a novel protein-protein interaction technology utilizing the capacity of a single reovirus protein to form viral factory-like structures and recruit other proteins to these structures. A second project in the Miller laboratory is focused on utilizing this technology to identify and define new viral protein-protein interactions, and further, to screen for drugs or small molecules that can inhibit these interactions to identify potential anti-viral therapies. Dr. Miller's laboratory is additionally involved in a number of projects examining the molecular mechanisms involved in influenza A virus pathogenicity and immunology in both swine and humans.

DURHAM, N.H. - Karen Kay, the 10th-year head coach of the University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, announced Monday that Lindsay Hansen (Northport, N.Y.) and Laura Lankton (Houghton, Mich.) have signed letters of intent to play for UNH in the 2002-03 academic year.
"We are very excited to welcome both of these top prospects to the UNH hockey family," Kay said.
Hansen, out of Northport High School, is a forward on the Syracuse Stars club team. In the 1999-2000 season, she recorded 49 points in 25 games (1.96 ppg) on 25 goals and 24 assists. Hansen also letters in volleyball and lacrosse at Northport.
"Lindsay Hansen is a very skilled power forward and a natural goal scorer," Kay stated. "We expect her to provide an immediate impact offensively and she is looking forward to being reunited with current UNH freshman forward Randi MacMaster."
Lankton, who participated at the USA Hockey Junior National Developmental Camp in Lake Placid this summer, is a defenseman at Shattuck-St. Mary's School (Fairbault, Minn.). Last year, she scored one goal and assisted on eight others for a total of nine points and registered a plus/minus rating of +30 to lead the Sabres to a 41-11-8 record. In the 1999-2000 season with the Keweenaw Wings club team, Lankton recorded team highs in both goals (27) and points (52). She ranked second in assists with 25.
"Laura Lankton is a very versatile defenseman coming from Shattuck St. Mary's school in Minnesota," Kay said. "Shattuck has produced many great players at the Division I level and we expect Laura to help fill the skates of graduating senior captain Brandi Kerns back on the blue line."
Hansen and Lankton join a UNH program that won the inaugural American Women's College Hockey Alliance (AWCHA) national championship in 1998 and is the winningest team in the history of women's hockey. New Hampshire is currently ranked second in both national polls, is unbeaten in 10 games and has a 9-1-1 overall record.

Baseball: Hitting Attack Defeats Zips
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia baseball team set season highs in runs scored and hits as it defeated Akron 12-7 to split a doubleheader on Tuesday evening at Hawley Field.
Five different hitters recorded at least two hits and four batters recorded multiple RBIs in the victory. Left fielder Matt Frazer led all players with four hits, two runs, one RBI and one walk. Frazer also had three doubles, one each in right field, center field and left field.
Shortstop John Polonius and center fielder Bobby Boyd each homered in the game as well, Polonius a three-run shot to left field and Boyd a two-run homer to right field.
WVU finished with 15 hits to drive in 12 runs, including three three-run innings, while Akron had seven runs on 14 hits. The Zips made three errors, compared to WVU's two.
Akron took a 2-0 lead after two innings off WVU starter Caleb Ross, who allowed two runs on five hits in four innings. Josh Harlow earned his first win of the season, pitching four innings in relief of Ross, allowing three runs on seven hits with three strikeouts.
Polonius hit his second home run of the season in the third inning to give WVU the go-ahead 3-2 lead as a walk to catcher Alan Filauro and a fielder's choice by Boyd put runners on the corners for Polonius.
WVU broke the game open with a 9-4 lead in the bottom of the sixth by scoring three runs on three hits and capitalizing on an Akron error. Filauro began the inning with a double to deep center field, followed by a perfect bunt down the third base line by right fielder Brady Wilson to put runners on the corners. Boyd then singled to center to drive in Filauro, with the center field bobbling the ball, allowing Wilson to advance to third and Boyd to second on the error. Back-to-back hit by pitches to Polonius and first baseman Ryan McBroom loaded the bases and scored Wilson, while a Frazer walk plated Boyd to end the scoring.
Akron starter Matt Gebacz took the loss for the Zips. Gebacz lasted 3.1 innings and gave up four runs on three hits. In total the Zips used six pitchers, only one lasting more than two innings pitched.
Darius Washington led the Zips offense, batting 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. Tyler Begun, Sam Watkins and Dan Burant all had two hits for Akron.
WVU and Akron will play two more games this season with a game in Canton, Ohio, on April 17 and the series finale on May 9 in Morgantown.
The Mountaineers open conference play this weekend against Connecticut at Hawley Field from March 23-25. Friday night's series opener will start at 5 p.m. Mountaineer fans can pick up the 2012 baseball schedule poster featuring West Virginians; Harlow, Frazer, Corey Walter and coach Greg Van Zant as the game is Poster Night. The game also serves as the first of five Dollar Nights, where all tickets, hot dogs, popcorn and Coca-Colas are available for purchase for just one dollar.

SEX and violence are neighbours in the brain, but they don't get along. It turns out that the cells responsible for aggression in mouse brains are suppressed during mating, which is probably a good thing.
Dayu Lin, now at New York University, and colleagues identified mouse neurons responsible for aggression and genetically manipulated them to respond to light. When the cells were stimulated, the mice instantly attacked other males, females and inanimate objects.
Additional analyses revealed that several types of cells crucial for mating inhibited nearby aggression cells during sex (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature09736).
"The mating circuit acts like a gate on the aggression circuit and actively suppresses nearby fighting neurons when there is a potential mate around," says Lin.

Chinese Heads
I came across these life-size wax Chinese heads at Piet Hein Eek's massive shop/factory in Eindhoven. They actually live in the wonderfully eccentric showroom catered by Belgian collector Leo Coolen. I think each head goes for around 2,000 euros or so. I'm saving up...

The Female Species Under The Influence Of Leo
Of note in this 60-page book researched and compiled by the "famous expert Astro-Palmist of Pakistan" is the section on The Female Species Under The Influence Of Leo:
"The woman born on any Friday with bad lines and poor mounts in her hand is publicity hungry, who runs after fame, even that of a notorious nature. She does not hesitate to commit murder or suicide or do any foolish action, if that will let her appear in the newspapers. She is fond of frequenting suspected houses and other disreputable dens where fake actors or pretentious artists welcome her flesh and money."

Everyone's bitching for bread, but no-one wants to get their hands dirty.
Keen observation Will. There is clearly opposition to the law as it exists – people be a' railing, and yet, other than Craig very few have gone to any length to clarify the terms and parameters of their ideal, given the legislative nuance available this is a must, otherwise we're all just diners complaining about the soup nazi.
Personally I feel that change should accommodate the right of adults to grow a minimal number of plants. Growers by necessity self educate, it would wipe $800million off the black market in one fell swoop, eliminating a vast chunk of cannabis related crime, and may even encourage people who otherwise wouldn't to develop a better horticultural understanding (amongst other noble kindred faculties). Policing costs could be directed to health and education.

I find that rather disturbing to Andrew, that article states the industry is worth $75million a year, other sources suggest $750 million. This is an interesting case given possession of up to 25 grams is already decriminalised.
Last year legislation was proposed allowing for plantation, cultivation and harvesting as well as the industrialization and trade of up to eight cannabis plants per household. I'm not sure what happened there but someone's obviously smelt the money.

Hard News: The frustrating politics of…, in reply to
In all fairness Craig, you are right that NORML and ALCP's disorganisation (and not limited to) would seem to be stymieing progress and your argument regarding incremental decriminalisation has merit. If that's what it would take to get a foot in the door then so be it, my misgivings are only that it could be taken by legislators as an end in itself and we'd end up with a situation similar to Canada:
patients complain of the single strain selection as well as low potency, providing a pre-ground product put through a wood chipper (which deteriorates rapidly) as well as gamma irradation and foul taste and smell.
+ a bunch of synthetics.
But on that note, I'd also have misgivings about the lauded Portugese model, where decriminalisation entails far stiffer penalties than users face in New Zealand:
Fines, ranging from 25 to 150 EURO. These figures are based on the Portuguese minimum wage of about 330 EURO (Banco de Portugal, 2001) and translate into hours of work lost.
Suspension of the right to practice if the user has a licensed profession (e.g. medical doctor, taxi driver) and may endanger another person or someone's possessions.
Ban on visiting certain places (e.g. specific discotheques!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ban on associating with specific other persons.
Interdiction to travel abroad.
Requirement to report periodically to the committee.
Withdrawal of the right to carry a gun.
Confiscation of personal possessions.
Cessation of subsidies or allowances that a person receives from a public agency.
decriminalisation or descriminalização…
Am I mistaken or is Australia sound years ahead of New Zealand in sensibly addressing this issue?
Hard News: Strange days for journalism, in reply to
As Chris mentioned in his blog, she's recently been conferred the title "family member of China" on account of her marriage to Chinese-Samoan David Wong Tung, they have a son together, so I'd imagine that brings some perspective…
I'm liking your logic here: John Key is the perfect Minister of Tourism.

Braving the elements on a windy and rainy night in New York City, a spirited crowd gathered at eyewear manufacturer Warby Parker's Annex in the Meatpacking District.
Tossing coats aside, everyone raised glasses celebrating the shop-in-shop set-up of accessories from co-host, Chicago-based maker Winter Session.
Of course I brought the bourbon and leaned heavily on the expertise of the West Village's Fedora, one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Fedora is part of a restaurant group, which was begun by a group of Madison, Wisconsin ex-pats who set up shop in The Village. So, we served up a drink featuring the tart cherry grenadine of Madison producer Quince & Apple, and Chicago's Mess Hall & Co. Cocktail Cherries. We dubbed it the "Midwest Manhattan."
Old friends and new gathered to try on a pair of Warby Parker's nifty and thrifty eyewear, hoist their grails, and get a glimpse into the handmade process of husband and wife designers Tanya Fleisher and Roy Katz, who made their fine canvas and leather goods entirely by themselves with the help of a few friends in their storefront-style apartment in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.
As the revelers donned their layers and headed out into the cold night, faintly, in the distance, I overheard a collection of them saying, "Oh, I love your new glasses. And oh, man, those were some cool bags. And weren't those drinks delicious?" Thanks to the folks at Warby Parker and Winter Session for inviting me to participate in such a cool event, and thanks especially to the folks at Fedora for making the Midwest Manhattan.

Your "Library" Doesn't Participate in Social Media, But Your People Do – A TTW Guest Post by Dr. Troy Swanson
Much discussion has been made about librarians reaching out through social media to our communities and our patrons and rightly so. But, we often overlook the role that social media offers for us internally as a means to strengthen our organizations.
One thing to remember is that libraries really do not participate in social networks. People do.
In fact, your "library" doesn't exist. You may have a building. You may have items on your shelves. You may have people who show up to do work. But, there is no "library." Often, we speak of our libraries as if they are these living entities outside of the people who make them up.
"The library prohibits the use of cell phones in all public areas."
Actually, the library doesn't prohibit anything. Only people can prohibit.
Our libraries are groups of people who come together to do a job. Together, we make rules, systems, policies, and procedures in order to coordinate our work. We need to understand how the individuals fit together to get a job done. We need some predictability. If we had to remake the rules everyday, we'd never accomplish anything.
There are two important challenges that come from this. First, it is easy to fall into a rut and make things so predictable that nothing ever changes. There are many people who talk about breaking out of ruts, so I am will not focus on this in this post.
The second challenge, which is my focus, is much more interesting. This is that it is impossible to create rules for most situations. Most of the time, when faced with a decision, organizational members take their understanding (based on past experience) and apply it as best as possible to the task at hand. Sometimes this is a very rote task, and other times, this is a once-in-a-career opportunity. It can take months or years of working in an organization to really understand the unwritten participation rules. Empowering people to act can be even trickier.
In an ideal, magical world, all of our organizational members would know about all of the actions ever taken by our colleagues. We would build up our knowledge and have that in our heads. Then, when faced with a decision, we would have the ultimate point of reference to use in acting.
But, as we know, that's not how the real world works. In the real world, we are always making and remaking meaning within our organizations. Each person has limited knowledge and imperfect information. We react to our environment, observe results, and decide if our actions worked. Importantly, we decide together. Sometimes this takes the form of formal policies, evaluations, or procedures. Sometimes, this happens more informally through friendships, gossip, and frowning faces. In all cases, organizational members are bumping around, making sense of the world. Together, we make meaning through doing work. Talking to someone about working is never the same as actually working with that person.
My library is open seven days a week, day and night. Our staff members are never all together at one time. There are many staff members who will never meet each other. Yet, we hope that our staff members will make similar decisions when presented with similar situations. But, there is no way we can capture every rule, every practice, or every approach. There is no handbook that will ever be complete. There is no workshop that will ever be long enough.
But, with social media, we can connect. We can share our days via Twitter or Facebook. We can document via shared wikis. We can demonstrate via YouTube. Of course, social media will not solve all problems, but they offer an affordable way to overcome space and time limitations. They are one more tool in our tool box. Most importantly, it offers an avenue to work together, which is the most powerful way to build meaning.
The question becomes how? First, those with knowledge must contribute. Some of the most vital organizational information will come from managers, so they must commit to using these tools. Simply put, organizational members will follow their organizational managers. If they put needed information and direction in these tools, then staff members will need to access these tools to do their jobs. Second, organizational members must understand how the tools are used and what they can do. Most importantly, they must understand how they should contribute and how their contribution will forward the goals of the organization. Finally, participation must become part of everyday work. It cannot be seen as an optional fun activity, but as actual work.

Policies Don't Do Work – A TTW Guest Post by Dr. Troy swanson
Many technology policies are created out of fear. They are created to protect the organization from its own members. They present a laundry list of illegal activities from copyright infringement, to libel, to harassment, to intellectual property theft, etc. They "protect" the library from lawbreakers and heart breakers.
Of course, policies have never done an hour's worth of work…ever. Policies don't do anything. People do things, and the best policies should offer guidance to the actions of organizational members. The goal of all policies should be to prevent problems before they occur, not act like "red light cameras" taking photos of you running a red ligth after the fact.
Policies that offer guidance should emphasize use. All policies will have gray areas, but when policies focus on use, they start to build a context for the organization. They should connect technology to the values and goals of the organization by defining ways the technology could be used.
So, how do we use policies to actually impact what we do? First and foremost, policies must arise from a collaborative process. Groups of people should work together to craft policies. This process should connect organizational values to the developing process. It should capture ideas, challenge organizational members to interact, and create meaning. Striving for true participation can be inefficient and even painful, but this is an important mechanism for making change through policy.
Once policies are in place, it takes leadership to not only keep them front and center, but to connect them to practice. There is a range of ways to do this. Leaders can bring staff together to workshop policies and run scenarios with staff to create shared meanings. Leaders can also highlight real-world successes by staff members who enact the policies. Social networking tools can be utilized to call attention to enacted policies highlighting success.
In any case, leaders must grant a degree of trust to organizational members. All situations are unique, and individuals must use their judgment to apply past practice and stated policy to a situation. Technology policies that focus on use, that have been developed collaboratively, and that are actively reviewed are policies that will offer guidance and actually impact decisions.

The Conundrums of Control and Adaptability – A TTW Guest Post by Dr. Troy Swanson
Administrators face two conundrums with Web 2.0 tools. David Weinberger called the first a "conundrum of control" in his book Everything is Miscellaneous. This conundrum states that organizational leaders have an important interest in ensuring that 2.0 tools are used to further the organization's mission. However, the more controls that they put in place (such as approval processes for blog posts) the less useful the 2.0 tools become.
The second conundrum is what I call a conundrum of adaptibility. This conundrum states that organizations with looser controls allow for more experimentation by individuals as they work to solve problems. However, organizations with tighter controls more easily communicate innovations across the organization. So, less control brings about innovation but may also mean that few people in the organization will actually learn about the innovation.
You can think of controls on a continuum of looseness and tightness.
Too Tight: Organizations with controls that are too tight lock down 2.0 tools to the point where they are too cumbersome to use. Tight controls do foster a shared vision of technologies and standardize use. However, tight controls prevent adaptability because users can not experiment and play with tools. Policies, approvals, resource limitations, and restrictive organizations can kill adaptations.
Too Loose: I used to assume that absolute freedom is an advantage because then staff members would widely adapt tools to solve problems. But, absolute freedom presents several problems that revolve around a lack of definition and context for 2.0 tools. Absolute freedom puts the individual and organization at risk for misuse of technology on a legal and political level. More importantly, this lack of definition prevents the adaptation of technology by not clarifying how tools can be used to solve problems and by not having structures in place to facilitate the diffusion of ideas across the organization. People are either not clear about how a tool can be useful, or they do not know about existing adaptations of technologies to problems.
Balance: When a system is in balance, there is enough freedom to experiment and adapt, but there is enough definition and connections that organizational members than utilize innovations. Sometimes this may mean that administrators and leaders step forward to promote and give a push to new innovations. Other times, it may mean that administrators stay out of the way as organizational members wrestle with the local problems facing their department or subunit.
Control and adaptability are clearly intertwined. Most technologies go through a "loose" period followed by a more defined "tight" period. In healthy situations, the pendulum will adjust itself as needed. In unhealthy situations, tools can be locked up or underutilized.

Call for Speakers: Internet Librarian International 2011 London!
Navigating the New Normal: Strategies for Success
Information Today invites proposals for presentations at Internet Librarian International 2011, to be held at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London on 27 & 28 October 2011.
We are now in a time best characterised as the "New Normal". The new normal isn't just about austere budgets or the old chestnut of "doing more with less" – it's also about new technologies. The new normal is having library patrons, users, customers and clients who know as much or more about technology than we do. It's about partnerships and transparency, about new ways to develop and disseminate knowledge, about the increasing importance of communication skills, about opening up access to information, data, and knowledge.
Internet Librarian International invites participation from a wide range of professionals to share their experiences about information services in this new normal environment. What strategies have been successful? What have information professionals done to re-think and re-vitalise their libraries, information departments, and organisations?
Internet librarians – and we use 'librarians' in its broadest possible sense – are amazingly proficient at revolutionising their work environments, at understanding and utilising new technologies, at bringing creative thinking to problem solving, at creating order out of chaos, and at demonstrating their value.
Internet Librarian International offers you the chance to communicate your knowledge with your peers and colleagues. They need to know the things you know! Help Internet Librarian International delegates think positively about the future of libraries and the information profession by sharing your knowledge. Submit a proposal to speak, lead a workshop, or present on a panel here.
We seek dynamic speakers from all types of libraries and information settings – public, academic, commercial or government – as well as those outside a traditional library setting, such as web designers, content evaluators, portal creators, 'shambrarians', systems professionals and independent researchers.
Our emphasis is on the practical rather than theoretical; we are seeking case studies and proposals about initiatives in your organisation, not product pitches or overviews. What has worked in your work environments and what has not?

Polling locations across Oktibbeha County will be open for the state and county general elections Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Myles Carpenter, county election commissioner, said the polling locations are identical to those used in the primaries and runoffs in August. That means voters planning to cast their ballots at Humphrey Coliseum and in Maben will still vote in different locations than the ones specified on the county's official website.
Because their City Hall is still in the early stages of reconstruction, Carpenter said, Maben voters will still need to cast ballots at the Maben Fire Department located near City Hall. Starkville voters from the east and northeast precincts will also still vote in the lobby connecting Humphrey Coliseum to the new practice facility.
Carpenter said it would be ideal if voters from the East Starkville precinct came in through the west doors, located near the Palmeiro Center, and voters from the Northeast Starkville precinct came in through the east doors, closer to the Sanderson Center.
Carpenter said he encourages all citizens to add their votes to the election process.
The complete list of polling places and corresponding precincts is as follows:
— District 1:
u West Starkville: National Guard Armory on Highway 12 West, Starkville.
u South Adaton: Adaton Baptist Church on Highway 182 West
u North Longview: Longview Fire Station on Highway 12 West
u Self Creek/Double Springs: The new fire station on Highway 82 West, Maben.
— District 2:
u Osborn: 16th Section Road Fire Station.
u Northeast Starkville: Humphrey Coliseum lobby, Mississippi State University.
u North Starkville II: Boardtown Village on North Montgomery Street.
u Hickory Grove/Southeast Starkville: East Oktibbeha Fire Station, Highway 182 East.
— District 3:
u East Starkville: Humphrey Coliseum lobby, Mississippi State University.
u North Starkville III: Fire Station at intersection of West Garrard Road and North Jackson Street.
u Bell Schoolhouse: Bell Schoolhouse Fire Station on Highway 389.
u Maben: Maben Fire Station on Second Avenue, Maben.
u Center Grove/North Adaton: Adaton Fire Station on Reed Road.
— District 4
u South Starkville: Starkville Sportsplex on Lynn Lane.
u South Longview: Longview Fire Station on Highway 12 West.
u Craig Springs/South Bradley: Craig Springs Fire Station on Craig Springs Road, Sturgis.
u Sturgis/North Bradley: Sturgis Fire Station on Montgomery Street, Sturgis.
— District 5
u Central Starkville: Oktibbeha County Courthouse Annex on West Main Street.
u Gillespie Street: Gillespie Street Center on East Gillespie Street.
u Sessums: Sessums Fire Station on Turkey Creek Road.
u Oktoc: Oktoc Fire Station on Oktoc Road just south of the Oktoc Community Center.
The state offices appearing on Oktibbeha County ballots include: governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, treasurer, commissioner of agriculture and commerce, commissioner of insurance, Northern District public service commissioner, Northern District transportation commissioner, senators for districts 15 and 16, and representatives for districts 23, 35, 37 and 38.
County offices appearing on the ballots include: chancery court clerk, circuit court clerk, sheriff, tax assessor, attorney, coroner, surveyor, superintendent of education, supervisors for five districts, justice court judges for three districts and constables for three districts.
Citizens will also have the opportunity to vote on three ballot initiatives. Initiative 26 would define the term "person" as including every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the equivalent thereof. Initiative 27 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to require people to submit government-issued photo identification to vote. Initiative 31 would prohibit the government from taking private property by eminent domain and then transferring it to other persons.

The MacBook Pro 13 *DOES* fit in the bag. It's a VERY tight fit - especially the first few times - though it does loosen up slightly. However, the pocket in front of the computer pocket will not hold much (except a few sheets of paper or a DVD or 2 in slim cases) with a MacBook Pro. (It will probably fit with the MacBook Air, though.)

1. The Hawks' playoff road misery continues. After dropping Wednesdays Game 5 by a score of 106-83, the Hawks have now lost all three games in Indiana in this series by a combined total of 55 points. They also have lost eight straight on the road in the postseason. They trail three games to two and face elimination on Friday at Philips Arena in Game 6. This game was close for about a quarter and a half before some of the same problems of the past continued, along with a few new wrinkles thrown in. For the second time in this series in Indiana, the Hawks received three technical fouls in a game. Thats the kind of loss of composure that the Hawks did not have in their two home victories. Once again, they were badly outrebounded. This time it was 51-28. Showing that rebounding is not all about size, the games leading rebounder with 12 was Pacers guard Lance Stephenson, who stands 6-foot-5.

TAJI, Iraq -- When U.S. soldiers moved into an abandoned wool factory near here two months ago, they were pounded with bombs, mortar shells and gunfire.
"We were not really well-received," Capt. David Fulton said.
The fighting around this town north of Baghdad went on for a month, until local Sunni Muslim tribesmen decided that they had had enough of the insurgents in their midst and started working with the Americans. About 220 of those tribesmen now staff checkpoints and have started cooperating with Shiite counterparts who once were their enemies, said Fulton, an Army company commander.

Thread: 59 Gun Companies Stop Sales To Law Enforcement In Anti-2nd Amendment States
59 Gun Companies Stop Sales To Law Enforcement In Anti-2nd Amendment States
Excerpted from REAL CLEAR POLITICS: The list of companies that have stopped selling firearms and ammunition to law enforcement agencies in states that are restricting the Second Amendment has more than doubled since Wednesday and is more than five times larger than just one week ago. There are 44 companies on our list, with more being added as we receive notification. Here are the additions since Wednesday:
Barrett Firearms
Exile Machine
Tier One Arms
Bravo Company USA
Primary Weapons Systems
Crusader Weaponry
Top Gun Supply
Kiss Tactical
Clark Fork Tactical
OFA Tactical
One Source Tactical
Templar Tactical Arms
NEMO Arms
Old Grouch's Military Surplus
Big Horn Armory
Midway USA
CMMG Inc
Rocky Top Tactical
Badger Peak
Controlled Chaos Arms
SRT Arms
Norton Firearms
Citizen Arms
Evolution Weaponry
Doublestar Corp
JCW Industries
Huntertown Arms
Here's a sample of statements from some of the recent additions to the list as well as the positions of the companies that have reached out to TheBlaze directly to declare their policy shift:
Steve Adelmann of Citizen Arms shared the following from his company's statement, made the day after New York changed its laws:
"Due to legal, ethical and moral concerns, Citizen Arms offers only those custom firearms that are legal for all lawful citizens of a given state to possess, regardless of law enforcement status. LE personnel living in states where citizens must have restrictive features will only receive like product support from Citizen Arms. We're very appreciative of the sacrifices made by the law enforcement community but we're even more appreciative of the right guaranteed to all law-abiding US citizens by the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

Seems as though there is a rally going to be held on Feb 28th in Albany, NY
2nd Amendment rally announced in Albany
On Thursday, 28 February, there is going to be a "Civil Rights – 2nd Amendment Rally" at noon at the Legislative Building, 80 Swan Street, in Albany.
This rally, sponsored by: National Rifle Association, NSRPA, activist JJ Johnson–Smith and the Second Amendment Foundation, is to protest the recent anti-gun legislation passed by New York Governor Cuomo.
That legislation, touted by the governor to be the strongest anti-gun law in the country, contains the followin provisions
•Assault weapons are defined by having two "military rifle" features, such as folding stock, muzzle flash suppressor or bayonet mount. The proposal would reduce that to one feature, including the popular pistol grip. The language specifically targeted the military-style rifle used in the Newtown shootings. Current owners of those guns will have to register them.
•Private sales of assault weapons to someone other than an immediate family would be subject to a background check through a dealer. New Yorkers also would be barred from buying assault weapons over the Internet, and failing to safely store a weapon could lead to a misdemeanor charge.
•Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10, and current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
•Stores that sell ammunition will have to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales.
•Therapists who believe a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally will be required to report it to a mental health director who would have to notify the state. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her.
•Increased sentences for gun crimes including the shooting of a first responder that Cuomo called the "Webster provision." Last month in the western New York town of Webster, two firefighters were killed after responding to a fire set by the shooter, who eventually killed himself (http://yhoo.it/X00Nf5).

Location: 80 Swan Street, Albany, NY
42.658199310303 ; -73.754508972168 .The National Rifle Assocation (NRA) has been at the forefront of this latest gun debate. Their CEO testified before the a U.S. Senate Committee on gun violence yesterday, 30 January. The organization has millions of members across the country and defends the 2nd Amendment and the private citizen's right to bear arms.
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), based in Bellvue, Washington, is "dedicated to promoting a better understanding about our Constitutional heritage to privately own and possess firearms. To that end, we carry on many educational and legal action programs designed to better inform the public about the gun control debate" (http://bit.ly/VwK45E).
Link: http://www.examiner.com/article/2nd-...nounced-albany
That will go together well with the 493 sheriffs who have indicated that they will not enforce any new Obama gun restrictions:
But since the second amendment is at the center of the argument: I don't understand parts of the second amendment, for example, the way the commas are placed:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Can anybody point me to a good website that explains it? Okay wait, I just looked at wikipedia, and they have more than one version there, including this one which was authenticated by Thomas Jefferson (the commas are different here):
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Much better, now I can see some of the logic that is lost to me in the other version. Why do they always quote the other (confusing) version? But I still don't understand "well regulated militia": libs use that phrase to say: "see, the Founding Fathers wanted only militias to have guns, and even those were regulated by strict gun control laws". Then there was the Heller decision, which I think changed what the second amendment officially means: these things suggest to me that the second amendment is too ambiguous that anybody could honestly say that it is "simple, clear, and self-evident". Maybe what is needed is for the second amendment to be amended (clarified), to MAKE IT simple, clear and self-evident, because not everybody is able to become a constitutional scholar. Even a supposedly simple question like "what is a militia" immediately causes partisan division and disagreement.
[edit]: I just found this:

This situation is really getting messier. My point is why we a young teen need a gun? Whatever the politics is going on this issue, I want the access of arms to really needy one only. It is an obvious fact that access to the gun in our country is not restricted to the desired level.

And I want your rights to assemble, to speak out freely, to vote and complain about the government restricted. You haven't truly demonstrated any need to speak out, I just want to restrict it to the desired level.
See how that works there?

BillJust pay your dues, and be quiet :-)
I would love to see the major player's like Glock, Smith and Wesson, Ruger, and Colt to join this pledge. Changes only occur when it becomes too painful to ignore."down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world." Raymond Chandler

I'm confused. So these companies are refusing to sell to law enforcement agencies where the State is anti 2nd amendment? Regardless of the views of the law enforcement agency?

The person who compiled the list got some bad information, at least on one of the companies listed. I'm not going to name the company, for personal/professional reasons. While it is supportive of the second amendment, it certainly shouldn't be listed here.
if you're going to turn honest citizens into felons by passing new laws, we do not support that, and our way of showing our disapproval is to make no distinction between LE and civilians, as customers: if civilians cannot purchase arms because of new restrictions, then LE cannot purchase them from us, either.
An ammo boycott would really put a hurt on all departments. They were in dire straights at the beginning of the run on ammo over 2 yrs ago, imagine if they were told to...expect No Ammo once your current contract Is fulfilled!! Where do I buy a ticket?

Those companies are a bunch of jack arsses.
Its bad enough the state has made it so people can not defend themselves. Now these companies want to make it harder for the people that can defend the innocent not be able to as well and with less equipment.
Not selling to the Police is only going to benefit the bad guys.......Making the streets safer, one donut at a time
I hate to say it, I can't see the major pistol suppliers sacrificing their contracts to some of the most populated states in the country. Glock, Sig, and H&K are all European companies that couldn't care less about the right for civilians to bear arms. All three supply guns to all the European countries, almost all ban most, if not all, civilian firearm ownership under most circumstances. If that isn't bad enough, they all supply various totalitarian counties such as Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Belarus, and Yemen. These countries punish speaking against the government with death, and if Glock, Sig, or H&K supplies them, I don't think they care if a U.S. state has a magazine restriction. Smith & Wesson is the only one of the bunch I could see refusing sale to states that restrict the 2nd Amendment. However, they are on bent on taking away the LE market from Glock, so I don't know if they would be willing to sacrifice NY and CA if that's their mission."If the police have to come get you, they're bringing an @$$ kicking with them!"
-Chris Rock
If you saw the Dorner stand off you would have seen a Deputy slinging a Ruger Mini 14. I know some guys that carry Ruger pistol, why I am not sure."down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man.

I don't think It'll happen in the US because we don't trust our government. We are a country of skeptics, raised by skeptics, founded by skeptics. - Amaroq
Glock, Sig and other major branded gun manufacturer need to flood the civilian market with sales of guns so they can unload thousands in that state, then shut it down after a couple months.
This will get the consumers ticked off enough and maybe just maybe sway someone on top to redo these silly laws.
The only big company there is really Barrett. I doubt LE uses the other companies for their fire power.

Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
So, yes... that we have less makes things difficult. The problem is that the government is trying to divide "we" into "police" and "not police", a definition which you've apparently bought into, when such a definition is both unnatural and contrary to the maintenance of liberty.
"We" should have everything we need to perform our civic duty to defend ourselves, our neighbors and our liberty... whether somebody has issued us a badge or not, whether we get paid to do it full time or not.
Restricting police to equipment that non-police can buy makes perfect sense, since the only difference is SUPPOSED to be the paycheck. As the people enforcing the unconstitutional restrictions against the rest of the population it also aids liberty to restrict the police to the same equipment as everybody else.
If the police don't like it they should go re-read their commissioning oath and then do some hard thinking."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." GEN George S. Patton, Jr.
I laugh how these gun companies are taking it out on LE agencies like they are the ones actually making the laws and imposing the BS restrictions . . . Refusing to sales to them doesn't prove a thing. Do something that effects the politicians that are actually trying to PUT the BS into action . . .

I only wish more of the big companies jumped on board. I would love to see the security details for poltitians abiding by the same limit, including when the POTUS comes through town and we are all blocking off intersections and shutting down highway for his-heinous....
no it wasn't a misspell
[edit]: here is an example of why these companies are doing this: a letter by Ronnie Barrett of Barrett Firearms from 2-20-13:
Barrett's Position Regarding the Assault on Liberty
Barrett opposes those who are illegally disarming the American public from their efficient arms and creating superior armed elitist government agencies.
Elected state officials of New York, having been sworn to protect our Constitution, have instead committed an offense against it and their citizens by stripping inalienable rights duly protected and guaranteed under the Second Amendment. By their deliberate and sinister actions, these officials now cause their state and local policing agencies to enforce these unconstitutional and illegal so called "laws".
By current law, Barrett cannot be an accomplice with any lawbreaker, therefore, cannot and will not service or sell to New York government agencies. Barrett also applies this stance to the individual elected official who, as a matter of public record, has voted for or created regulation that violates the constitutional rights of their citizens. This is an expansion of our 2002 ban against the California government due to their second amendment infringements, and shall apply to any future violators.
In the course of world history there have been officials that strip inalienable rights from the people that were given to all by our Creator. Most of these officials inevitably come to trial, some do not.
Intentionally violating constitutional rights by officials that have sworn to uphold them should have severe prison sentences.
With the clear vision of horrible events in history repeating itself, all manufacturers of firearms or related equipment remaining in partnership with such violators should have a respectable fear of being found with the guilty on their day of trial.
During this era of assault on liberty, Barrett will remain steadfast in our efforts to serve law-abiding citizens of all fifty states, and stands together with you in the struggles we will fight and win.
Ronnie Barrett, Chairman and CEO

It is not JUST about making a statement.
They are sticking to the intent of the 2nd amendment. They do not want to government to be armed to the teeth while the rest of us have only sticks and stones.
Is it going to completely prevent LE from acquiring firearms? Of course not. But each person or company can only do their part. Better to be part of the solution than part of the problem!

Or your argument suggests we should let people speed, run stop lights/signs, and so on. We should also allow the average person to have lights and sirens.
Restricting weapons from the Police will only hurt the good guys and help the bad guys.
The Police are not making these laws. These jack arss companies should be going after the politicians NOT the people who are caught in the middle and have nothing to do with with the passing of these laws.Making the streets safer, one donut at a time

Looks like a list of companies that do little to no LE related business anyway, so no one is really out anything.

Must take down the Cardinal on Oct. 8th!
I have always known Stanford as the Cardinals or the tree. Since I don't think the tree is official and I haven't seen the Cardinal of late – B will be my pick, partially by default.
ASU – Sun Devils
WSU – Cougar
UCLA – Bruins
Stanford does not have an official mascot, unless you consider a tree a mascot. Arizona's mascot is the Wildcat; UCLA's is the Bruin; Washington's is the Husky.
Surprisingly, back in the late '60s, there was a move afoot at Stanford to have the Thunder-chicken as their mascot. Unfortunately, Stanford alums thought this to be a ridiculous idea. Nevertheless, it would have provided some comic relief during the football season.
Go Buffs!
The quiz question answer is Stanford, but they do have the non-official Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band, which is mascot enough! Remember what they did at CU when they played in Boulder last? (Hint: it was a "tribute" to Coors.) Do you know why the band got kicked off campus in the first place? (Which finger on the hand the band formed on the field was the only one left unfolded before ABC cut to a commercial–very quickly?) Great stories, even if they're not about the Golden Buff Marching Band.

Maker Faire is more than just a cool place to go and hang out with several tens of thousands of like-minded geeks. It's, as the event's organizers say, "the greatest show and tell on earth." Think of it as the largest high school science fair you've ever seen, where people are showing off the ideas and technologies they're experimenting with at home and at work.
It's the kind of place where you'll hear about how a small Sebastopol winery is using low cost UAVs to change the way it buys grapes -- taking consumer technology and finding a new use that benefits a business. If that winery was to use commercially available aerial and satellite imagery, it would cost thousands of dollars each time it wanted to get a look at how the grapes in its contractors' fields were growing. Instead, a few hundred dollars invested in a simple remote-controlled aerial camera platform lets them view grapes throughout the growing season and plan what should be harvested, and when. Simple filters applied to images can help analyze the data, using color to show what's happening in the fields, without having to spend hours walking the rows.
Meet Arduino
That simple DIY drone is the sort of project that can be built using the open source Arduino platform. Built around a range of commonly available micro-controllers, Arduino and its many spin-offs are a bridge from the world of DIY electronics into the Internet of Things.
Where early Arduino platforms were basic programmable controllers that could be stacked with all kinds of multipurpose add-on boards (known as "shields"), the latest devices are designed to encourage experimentation – and include robots and came controller-like boards that can be fitted with LCD displays. Arduino's easy-to-extend hardware design, and its extensive programming tools, make it an ideal platform for anyone who wants to go beyond programming into working with their own devices.
Need a tool for monitoring local environments, for counting components on a production line? Just build it with Arduino and hook it up to a PC or a Mac or an Android phone – or even a BB10 BlackBerry. There are libraries full of ready-to-run code, and books that guide you through building and deploying Arduino sensors (and kits that let you build them into mint tins…). The open source and education community that's grown up around Arduino has worked hard to make the little controller boards a hub for innovation, and for education.
That said, there's been one big hole in the platform: it's been hard to connect standalone Arduino hardware to the Internet. You've been able to use networking shields to provide basic connectivity, but the tiny processors haven't had the horsepower to run full blown web servers. If we're to have a widely distributed Internet of Things, those things need to be able to interact with the rest of the Internet – using the protocols that have become the lingua franca of the web (and of the web-programming methodologies that are at the heart of the democratization of programming.
Connecting Arduino hardware to the Internet
The co-founder of the Arduino project, Massimo Banzi, used his annual Maker Faire "State of the Arduino" speech to reveal how the project and its partners were going to solve that problem, unveiling the new Arduino Yún board.
Yún means cloud in Chinese, and the new board mixes two different processors and two different development models to bring web services to Arduino, letting a controller be controlled over the web, as well as delivering information from sensors and devices using familiar web programming techniques. It's an impressive piece of work that's been developed in conjunction with Linux control systems specialists Dog Hunter, using a WiFi router SoC running a variant of the OpenWRT Linux-based router operating system.
This new OS, Linino, provides a basic environment for working with web services – as well as a simple web-based configuration tool that makes it easy to quickly reset a device and start again. The Linino side of the board communicates with the familiar Arduino Leonardo, using a new set of bridge protocols – so you don't need to learn a significant amount of new code when building Arduino apps on the Yún board. If you've used a Leonardo before, you'll be able to get coding quickly, as well as taking advantage of its controller outputs and analog inputs. Arduino apps (known as sketches) will send data over the bridge to web apps running on Linino, written using familiar languages like Python. The Linino side of the board looks like a wireless access point. You'll be able to connect to it over WiFi or through the built-in Ethernet port (and you'll be able to configure the network side of things using SSH or the Yún's web UI.
For only $69 Yún is surprisingly cheap. It's also a simple way of experimenting with sensor networks and controllers. A partnership with API brokerage Temboo means you'll be able to connect your Arduino apps to social networks and consumer services, as well as enterprise platforms. That's the real benefit of the new board, linking a hardware directly to the web. It's easy to imagine an app that would tweet temperatures in a sauna, or a network of devices that could act as a sensor mesh across a ski run, letting skiers know just what the conditions were – before they left home. Adding Arduino to the cloud extends your reach, and lets you extend your software to new places, and to new inputs and outputs.
Bringing a DIY Internet of Things to your business apps lets you add innovation in ways that were impossible with traditional application (and hardware) development techniques. Arduino's breadboard roots mean it's possible to quickly prototype new sensors and their associated software. Mixing mobile sensor platforms like hexacopter UAVs and Arduino's own $275 robot can take things in a whole new direction, letting you explore new ways of gathering information and using it in your applications, taking sensors mobile and giving you a whole new view of your business – and just possibly changing the way it works.
