Packed-Decimal Format
Description and Discussion
|The SimoTime Home Page
This document will focus on a discussion of a numeric field (or data string) known as "PACKED-DECIMAL" format (also referred to as packed data or a packed numeric field). This format is used on an IBM Mainframe System and is supported by Micro Focus COBOL running on a Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Note: The items in this document are appropriate for applications that are written in COBOL, Mainframe Assembler (HLASM) or PL/I. The IBM Mainframe architecture drove many of the numeric formats that existed in the early ANSI specifications for COBOL and have been carried forward to the current COBOL ANSI specifications.
A packed decimal representation stores two decimal digits in one byte. A packed decimal representation stores decimal digits in each "nibble" of a byte (a byte is eight bits and a nibble is four bits). Each byte has two nibbles, and each nibble is indicated by a hexadecimal digit. For example, the value 23 would be stored in two nibbles, using the hexadecimal digits 2 and 3 (the bit representation would be 0010 0011). The sign indication is dependent on your operating environment. On an IBM mainframe, the sign is indicated by the last nibble of the last byte (or high memory address). For explicitly signed fields the "C" indicates a positive value and "D" indicates a negative value. For unsigned (or implied positive) fields the "F" indicates a positive value.
The mainframe can perform arithmetic functions on packed-decimal fields without having to convert the format. Storing numeric values in a packed-decimal format may save a significant amount of storage space. For example, on the mainframe the value 12,345 would be five (5) bytes in length (i.e. x'F1F2F3F4F5'). If the same information is stored in a packed-decimal (i.e. USAGE IS COMP-3) the field would be three (3) bytes in length (i.e. x'12345C').
When converting this type of field from EBCDIC to ASCII the programmer is presented with a number of confusing options and challenges. This document will try to explain the options and help the programmer avoid the common mistakes that are made during a conversion process.
The following table shows the structure of a five digit numeric field using the Packed-Decimal format (i.e. the COBOL syntax would be USAGE IS COMP-3). The field contains a value of one-hundred-twenty-three (or 00123). Since the packed-decimal format stores a digit in each nibble (2 digits per byte) the actual field size is only three (3) bytes.
|The Packed Decimal Format for a Numeric Field
Note-1: A field that is defined as "Unsigned" (i.e. PIC 99999 COMP-3) is an implied positive value.
Note-2: The "Hex" is an abbreviation for Hexadecimal notation.
Note-3: A field that is defined as "Signed" (i.e. PIC S99999 COMP-3) will have the sign in the rightmost nibble of the units positions (or Byte-2 in the preceding example). A X'nC' is used as an explicit positive sign and a X'nD' is used as an explicit negative sign.
Note-4: The Packed-decimal format is the same for the Mainframe and for Micro Focus running on a Windows or UNIX system.

This section describes how to convert the previously discussed packed-decimal formats into text strings to print or display the information in a human readable form. Before converting the packed-decimal fields it should be determined if a conversion is necessary. The following list provides some basic guidelines.
|Guidelines for Converting Packed Fields to Display Fields
This section describes how to convert a packed-decimal field (i.e. PIC S9(5) USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL-3) to a zoned-decimal field (i.e. PIC S9(5) USAGE IS DISPLAY SIGN LEADING SEPARATE). The resulting field will have a separate leading sign but will still have an implied decimal based on the field definition from the COBOL picture clause.
* The following defines a signed, packed-decimal field. * The length of this field is 3 bytes & contains 5 digits. 01 PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2-TEXT. 05 PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 pic S9(3)V99 COMP-3 value 0. * The following defines a signed, zone-decimal field. * The sign is not part of the units position because of * the SIGN LEADING SEPARATE syntax. This is standard * COBOL coding and is ANSI/85 compliant. * The length of this field is 6 bytes. 01 SLS-S3V2-TEXT. 05 SLS-S3V2-NUMB pic S9(3)V99 value 0 SIGN LEADING SEPARATE. ... ... PROCEDURE DIVISION. * The following statement will place a value into the * packed-decimal field. The actual value will be x'00123C'. add 1.23 to ZERO giving PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 * The following statement will place the arithmetic value of * the packed-decimal field into the zone-decimal field. The actual * value will be x'4EF0F0F1F2F3'. This results in converting the * packed-decimal field. Both fields have an implied decimal point. add PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 to ZERO giving SLS-S3V2-NUMB * The preceding statement is the only statement required to do * the conversion from packed-decimal to zone-decimal. * The additional code in this section is used to display the * input and result field values in hexadecimal dump format.
This section describes how to convert a packed-decimal field (i.e. PIC S9(5) USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL-3) to a zoned-decimal field (i.e. PIC X ). The resulting field will have a separate leading sign and an explicit decimal point embedded in the text string. This field (or data string) may easily be exported to a non-COBOL environment.
* The following defines a signed, packed-decimal field. * The length of this field is 3 bytes & contains 5 digits. 01 PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2-TEXT. 05 PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 pic S9(3)V99 COMP-3 value 0. * The following defines an edited field for numeric * values and will contain an explicit decimal point. This * is standard COBOL coding and is ANSI/85 compliant. * The length of this field is 7 bytes. 01 PRINT-LINE. 05 FILLER pic X(8) value 'Edited: '. 05 PRINT-NUMBER pic +ZZZ.99. ... ... PROCEDURE DIVISION. * The following statement will place a value into the * packed-decimal field. The actual value will be x'00123C'. add 1.23 to ZERO giving PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 * The following statement will place the arithmetic value of * the packed-decimal field into the edited print field. The * actual value will be x'4E4040F14BF2F3'. This results in * converting the packed-decimal field but has leading spaces. move PACK-DECIMAL-S3V2 to PRINT-NUMBER * The following statement will replace the leading spaces * with zeroes. The resulting value will be x'4EF0F0F14BF2F3'. inspect PRINT-NUMBER replacing all SPACE by ZERO * The preceding 2 statements are the only statements required * to do the conversion from packed-decimal to zone-decimal. * The additional code in this section is used to display the * input and result field values in hexadecimal dump format.
We have seen a few instances where a packed field may contain SPACES. This should be considered a bad programming practice. Having non-numeric values in a numeric field should be avoided. The process that caused non-numeric values to be placed in a numeric field should be corrected. When converting data between EBCDIC and ASCII this presents an additional effort to deal with the situation.
A SPACE character (hex 40 for EBCDIC or a hex 20 for ASCII) could be a valid numeric entry in a packed field in all the positions of the field except the units positions. It would be reasonable to assume that if the units position of a packed field is a SPACE character and all other positions are SPACE characters then the packed field SPACE values should be converted between EBCDIC and ASCII.
For numeric fields with USAGE IS COMP-3 (i.e. PACKED FIELDS) the conversion code generated by SimoTime does not do any conversion. This is the default behavior. However, since the situation does exist the SimoTime technology has a configuration option to generate conversion code that will analyze a packed field and convert SPACE values between EBCDIC and ASCII or to initialize the packed field with a ZERO value.
The following is sample code that will test a packed field for SPACE values and then convert the EBCDIC SPACE values to ASCII SPACE values.
* Packed CUST-CREDIT-LIMIT * The /PACKEDFLD option is set to SPACECONVERT if CUST-RECORD(300:4) = all x'40' inspect CUST-RECORD(300:4) replacing all x'40' by x'20' end-if
The following is sample code that will test a packed field for SPACE values and then initialize the packed field to ZERO values.
* Packed CUST-CREDIT-LIMIT * The /PACKEDFLD option is set to SPACEZERO if CUST-RECORD(300:4) = all x'40' inspect CUST-RECORD(300:4) replacing all x'40' by x'00' move x'0F' to CUST-RECORD(303:1) end-if
When trying to do an arithmetic operation on a packed field that has a non-numeric value or an invalid sign the operation will ABEND with a S0C7 Program check on the Mainframe System. The operation will ABEND with a 163 RTS error on a Micro Focus System.
This condition is managed on the EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System by using the NUMPROC (NOPFD) compiler option that accepts the invalid sign and treats space characters (x'40') as zeroes. This approach does not fix the problem, it simply tolerates the condition while presenting additional challenges for the data conversion and validation efforts.
For files that contain records with packed or binary fields the EBCDIC to ASCII data conversion is done at the field level. Since the packed and binary fields have their unique bit structure (i.e. neither EBCDIC nor ASCII) they are left in their existing structure. Therefore, a packed field that contains all x'40' characters will contains all x'40' characters after the record is converted.
Herein lies the challenge, the x'40' character is a space character on the EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System but it is not a space character in an ASCII-configured environment.
In an ASCII-configured Micro Focus environment the spaces in a numeric, packed field can be managed by using the SIGN-FIXUP compiler directive. This directive provides limited emulation of NUMPROC (NOPFD) when used with HOSTNUMMOVE HOSTNUMCOMPARE.
However, since the x'40' value is not a space character in the ASCII environment and is a valid numeric value in a packed field it will produce incorrect totals when used in an arithmetic operation. Therefore, at a minimum the x'40' values will need to be changed to an ASCII space or x'20' character.
Note: the process that causes the packed fields to contain SPACE characters should be addressed. The Compiler options only prevent the ABEND but may produce incorrect results when used in arithmetic processing.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Bryan Kirschner, Director of the Apigee Institute, a new research and strategy organization at Apigee committed to helping businesses extend their leadership in this new digital world.
Apigee Acquires InsightsOneApigee has acquired InsightsOne, a provider of big data predictive intelligence. This expands the firm's big data analytics portfolio to deliver a platform that integrates the power of APIs with the agility of predictive big data analytics.
Achievers, providers of the only true-cloud Employee Success Platform™,today announced its Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ in the United States and Canada for 2013. This annual award recognizes top employers that display leadership and innovation in engaging employees making their workplaces more productive. The awards honor the top 50 companies in the U.S. and the top 50 companies in Canada.Read more here: http://www.sacbee.com/2014/01/14/6070539/achievers-announces-the-winners...
Reigning in cloud fragmentation represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity for API management providers. But with the competition heating up, the fight for relevance is moving beyond abstracting programming interfaces. That's the reason API management providerApigee forayed into Big Data earlier this year with Apigee Insights, a Big Data offering that Apigee's hoping to round out through their newly announced acquisition this week ofInsightsOne.
The convergence of big data analytics and the API economy has been prognosticated for a while. Now Apigee wants to turn that prediction into reality. With the acquisition today of InsightsOne, the provider of API integration and management tools is moving to tightly couple predictive big data analytics software with applications looking to invoke analytics via an API. Instead of building predictive analytics capabilities from the ground up, Apigee CEO Chet Kapoor envisions a world where developers apply analytics to any number of processes via an API.
If you're like most Americans, apps play an increasingly important role in your life. Those mini-programs embedded in your smartphone might help you track spending, count calories, monitor daily exercise, transfer funds and so much more. Pretty useful stuff – but are we becoming dangerously dependent on them?
I wrote just the other day about how the API management world is fundamentally changing -- as large vendors acquire small companies doing API management (witness Intel's acquisition of Mashery and CA Technologies buying Layer 7), the pure API management tools get added into broader offerings -- I opined that identity management and application integration were two areas that would, over time, join with API management as a logical platform. One of the largest independent API vendors, Apigee, is speaking to the broader API opportunity by announcing today that they've acquired predictive analytics startup InsightsOne.
API specialist Apigee has acquired a predictive analytics startup called InsightsOne. The companies say the goal is to connect enterprise data and APIs to help predict business outcomes and serve up insights.
Predictive analytics startup InsightsOne has managed to see which customers of a health insurer will be unhappy weeks before they voice their complaints. That's exactly the sort of smarts that attracted application programminginterface (APIs) management and analytics company Apigee to buy InsightsOne.
The application programming interface (API) management guru Apigee announced Wednesday that it is moving deeper into the network by acquiring the predictive analytics vendor InsightsOne.

Jeffersonville poised to grow from bridges project
In his role as executive director of the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tourism Bureau, Jim Epperson is used to touting Southern Indiana's economic development strengths — and potential.
Epperson's job has sold itself lately, as the downtown portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project connecting Louisville to Jeffersonville — just whispers only a decade ago — takes shape piece by piece, bringing with it a level of change unseen in Southern Indiana.
The $2.2 billion project, which also includes an east end portion linking Prospect, Kentucky, to Utica, has already spurred economic growth in communities benefiting from the promise of soon-to-be built interstates and new passages emptying into booming commercial developments, the News and Tribune reported.
Even as a tolling mechanism is hashed out to help finance the project, sparking concerns among business owners in the region, optimism has outweighed the negatives.
At ground zero? Jeffersonville.
"It is hard to comprehend," Epperson said. "The bridges project and the timing coinciding with development at River Ridge (Commerce Center) . probably the single most transformative series of events in Southern Indiana in my lifetime."
An economic impact study conducted by a Boston-based research firm released in March burned red-hot with some staggering statistics.
Researchers predict that between 2012 and 2042 — a span of 30 years — that the project will generate an average of more than 15,000 jobs each year. Over that same time period, the study predicted a cumulative total of almost $30 billion in personal income and more than $86 billion in economic output, both figures not accounting for dollar inflation.
These numbers apply to Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana as well as Jefferson, Bullitt and Oldham counties in Kentucky.
To put these figures in more relatable terms: that's like six new Amazon plants comparable to the one at River Ridge that employs 2,500 workers popping up every year in the five-county bridges region; it's like adding the salaries of 9,800 high-tech workers at Rivera Consulting Group making $100,000 to the area over a total of 30 years; and it's like absorbing the annual GDP of Ecuador once over 30 years.
"With this project being the largest bridge project in progress in the Midwest, it surpasses any other single project Indiana has undertaken in recent history," Kendra York, public finance director for the Indiana Finance Authority, which funded the study, wrote in an email.
Proclamations of the sheer scale of the bridges project have been echoed across the state and across the city, too.
Jeffersonville Economic Redevelopment Director Rob Waiz, former mayor, city council member and born-and-raised Jeff man, said he has watched his hometown grow tremendously over the years because of the project.
"I would have to say we're probably at least at the top three busiest sectors of the state," Waiz said. "... We've been growing, and we're going to continue to do so."
The city of Jeffersonville has been turning soil and signing deals in anticipation of growth from the project for years, most significantly in the historic downtown district and at River Ridge.
Construction and revitalization projects have the city on the precipice of an explosion of businesses, tourism and population growth.
The Jeffersonville Gateway Development, an area with restaurants and a hotel that will be seen from Interstate 65, will be one of the first sights of the city.
Some businesses have already popped up or have plans to locate in Jeffersonville in anticipation of the bridges project, such as Rivera Consulting Group Inc. Waiz said the city has been getting a lot of phone calls from business people asking about the project.
Waiz said the most significant growth will be seen at River Ridge because of the east-end bridge connecting eastern Jeffersonville to Louisville near Prospect, Kentucky, which will open up a significant corridor for transporting goods in and out of the commercial campus.
"Just your logistics, it's just going to make it so much easier to get that approximately 6,500 acres — and I believe only about 8 percent of it is already developed — so there's a lot more further growth to go on," he said.
River Ridge, with the help of other financially supportive entities, is pouring $22.5 million into a heavy haul road between their campus and the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville, which will make carrying products from place to place even easier.
"We're doing it right by making sure we're keeping money up there. It keeps getting put into River Ridge so that you can keep building your infrastructure and make sure you're staying ahead of the game or else that's whenever you lose out on people coming to this site looking at it," Waiz said. "If you have to say, 'Oh, well maybe in a year or two we'll be able to run sewer lines or maybe have a road in front of it,' they're going to look elsewhere."
A recent spike in Jeffersonville businesses lately is just a harbinger for bigger growth to come from the two new bridges.
"The first discussion is definitely the business," Epperson said, noting that River Ridge will be the epicenter of commercial growth. "That's always been kind of the big prize. This is really where the biggest benefit is going to come from."
York said that the county as a whole is expected to see a boom in businesses of all kinds.
"A survey of the Clark County business sector found that most businesses involved in local industries expressed a belief that expansions in manufacturing, construction, financial services, specialty services and retail, personal services and transportation would occur as a result of the project," she said.
Waiz said he expects manufacturing to grow the most, specifically the steel manufacturing industry. Steel companies already operating include Steel Dynamics, Voss Clark Industries and Eagle Steel Products Inc. River Ridge, for example, is certifying a chunk of land for a mega site, which sets the stage for fast-moving automotive, steel and chemical industry projects, according to its annual report.
While the buzz about potential economic growth tied to the Ohio River Bridges Project is tangible, another issue has gotten equally as much attention: tolls.
For cars, initial tolling rates are between $1 and $4 per trip, depending on whether the driver has a transponder, is a frequent commuter or if the car is registered with the tolling body. The tolls will help pay for the project.
The economic impact study predicts that businesses in the downtown district of Jeffersonville could suffer because of tolls, but it said issues would dissipate over time mostly because it expects people to get used to the tolling or use the Clark-Memorial bridge instead.
Some Jeffersonville residents think the study downplayed the negative effects of tolling.
Jim Benton, owner of Benton's Fine Jewelry along Court Avenue who gets 60 percent of his customer base from Louisville, said he expects the tolls to hurt his business.
"They're not going to pay $8 to cross the bridge to pay me $7 to put a battery in their watch," Benton said of Louisville customers.
He believes the majority of Southern Indiana residents will get a transponder to ensure they get a reduced rate on tolls, but he does not believe that as many Louisvillians will do the same.
"That's an $8 round trip for someone who doesn't have a transponder," Benton said. "I hate to sound so pessimistic, but I'm very concerned."
Did the study downplay the adverse effects of the tolls? York pointed out that the tolls were just one piece considered in the study.
"This study was not a tolling study, but an economic-impact study relevant to jobs the project could create, land use it will affect, public revenues it could impact, and personal income it could deliver," she said. "While tolling was one factor it considered, it was one of many factors and part of a larger collective picture."
However, Epperson said he doesn't think the researchers got a clear enough idea of how people on both sides of the river would react to tolling.
"My concerns were that they didn't have broad enough interviews with businesses," he said, of the nine survey respondents that predicted negative impacts from tolling on their businesses. "They also seem to draw some conclusions and make some assumptions about consumer behavior related to tolling."
He said drawing conclusions based on other cities' bridges may not be wholly accurate because of the set of unique factors surrounding Southern Indiana's project.
"Therefore, I'm left to my gut feeling which is yes, I thought the negative impact is underestimated," he said.
Nevertheless, Epperson acknowledges there are still good things to come.
"Certainly the headline is good," he said. "The project as a whole should be applauded, and I expect the project as a whole to have a positive economic impact."
Some of the uptick in businesses and revitalization addresses what Waiz calls a quality of life issue, or making Jeffersonville a more hospitable and happier place to live and visit.
Where a job opportunity would draw people in, retail businesses, such as Big Four Burgers + Beer, Flat 12 Bierwerks and Olive Leaf — businesses that have opened or will open in anticipation of the bridges project — would persuade them to stay.
"Businesses want to make sure that once they locate here, their employees are going to be happy," he said. "If their employees aren't happy, they're going to go somewhere else."
Waiz predicts that the historic downtown district will see an influx of people looking to settle down and put down roots.
More business also means more tourists.
"When you have businesses, you have demand for business travel," Epperson said. "When that demand increases, you're going to have restaurants and hotels to take care of more travelers."
In the future, Epperson said one of the most noticeable ways Jeffersonville will transform because of the bridges project is it will no longer be a bedroom community — or a place where most people eat and sleep but don't work.
"The more depth you have and the more health you have in all sectors of your economy, the more you have a community again," he said. "And I think that's the kind of change we're talking about."

Oklahoma State football: Out with the old, in with the new
Trace Clark, who played in six games as a true freshman, has the early edge to occupy the other side because of his quick grasp of the defensive scheme. But also watch for Emmanuel Ogbah and Victor Irokansi, who both redshirted in 2012, and have athletic ability that has impressed teammates and coaches.
Weakside linebacker
Out: Alex Elkins
In: Lyndell Johnson, Demarcus Sherod, Joe Mitchell
Sherod was Elkins' backup on the weak side in 2012 and could be the logical choice to slide into the starting spot.
But Lyndell Johnson, a backup on the strong side, was a versatile playmaker for the Cowboys in 2012, tallying 28 tackles (6.5 for loss), two sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in nine games. He's a candidate to flip sides and start, or to remain a situational player off the bench.
Joe Mitchell, a rising senior who has worked at both outside linebacker spots, will also be in the mix to start.
Out: Brodrick Brown
In: Kevin Peterson
Peterson saw plenty of crucial action as a true freshman, picking up 20 tackles and two pass breakups. Fellow freshman Ashton Lampkin will also be in the running to replace Brown.
Out: Quinn Sharp
In: Michael Reichenstein
Reichenstein, a rising senior, has punted just once during his OSU career — a 49-yarder in a blowout victory against Kansas in 2011.
Out: Quinn Sharp
In: Bobby Stonebreaker, Ben Grogan
Stonebreaker, a walk-on from Tuttle, did not attempt a field goal in 2012 but did boom six kickoffs (three for touchbacks). Commit Ben Grogan, who is rated the No. 9 kicker in the nation by Rivals, could compete for the job immediately.

Recently, a vehicle technical artist at developer Playground Games revealed via Linkedin that a new Forza game is in the works.
Currently, Yibo Liu's Linkedin profile states, "Working as the only technical artist in the vehicle art team for an undisclosed Xbox One project." That was after the profile was edited, in which NeoGAF member TheOddOne spotted that the artist made reference to an "undisclosed next
Last year's open-world racer Forza Horizon was developed by Playground Games, comprised of many former members of Bizarre Creations (Project Gotham Racing). Presumably, the next-gen Forza project mentioned by the artist is most likely the follow up to Forza Horizon for the Xbox One.
Earlier today, Videogamer reported on the studio looking for new hires on their next project, which is said to be a "visually stunning" and "genre-leading" racer. Playground Games has a number of job ads looking for people that have "excellent knowledge of cars, tuning and car culture" and "excellent working knowledge of, and a real passion for, the racing genre."
Do you think Playground's next game will be Forza Horizon 2?

Bob Hodge: Tale of two hunts dovetails into one of contrasts
KODAK — It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
With apologies to Charles Dickens, that could be the opening line if I wrote a book titled "A Tale of Two Dove Hunts."
And the tale would have nothing to do with the quality of the fields — although one was markedly better than the other — and it wouldn't have anything to do with the quality of the shooting.
One hunt was typical with lots of birds, lots of shooting and lots of fun hunt on Labor Day. The other was, how do you say it, just plain weird.
The normal hunt was on a cut grain field in Kodak and the only thing keeping the day from being perfect was the heat and the fact that I'm still a lousy wing shot. Hunting with newly minted Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jim Ripley of Sevierville one thing is clear: The guy can shoot.
Ripley, an attorney, was seated in July. Unlike many of his predecessors on the Commission, Ripley is an actual outdoorsman who knows how to hunt and fish. Some of those predecessors struggled with issues because, in the end, they didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
Which brings us to the other dove hunt.
In Blount County, there's a wonderful field that, on most days, is likely to be covered with birds. Temperatures on opening day were in the low 90s and the dove had more sense than the dozen or so hunters in the field because they realized it was too hot to be outside.
But that wasn't the biggest problem. Plenty of dove hunts have ended with the doves turning out to be no-shows.
The problems here ranged from neighbors who don't like hunters, to hunters that a year earlier had shot up some cable TV wires, to a Blount County Sheriff's deputy who probably wondered why he was sweating his butt off walking through a dove field … where a car was stuck in a ditch.
The neighbors got the ball rolling early. When they drove into their house and saw hunters in the field they started blowing their car horn. Then they cranked up some really loud music and after the first shots were fired they started yelling at the hunters closest to them … and they really weren't that close.
It was about 30 minutes later that the straw hat-wearing neighbor decided to come down the field and talk about things. The fellow who was running the hunt had his own worries since a ditch had collapsed under his car and he was on the phone with AAA. So the neighbor unloaded on the first person he reached.
That was me.
For 20 minutes he talked about how last year hunters had shot the cable TV wires and "800 families" were without television until the wires were fixed. He told me that earlier that morning three hunters had been cited for hunting before legal shooting hours and had been given tickets for using "illegal decoys." He asked me if I was shooting at the wires. He told me he was a lifelong dove hunter until he moved to Tennessee and the state's hunters had left such a bad taste in his mouth he would never hunt again. He told me that the "buckshot" we were shooting went a lot farther than we thought it did. He asked if I had shot a wire. He said he was going to write down the license plate numbers of every hunter.
In quick order I told him:
I was sorry about the wire shooting, but I wasn't there last year; I didn't know the guys who were arrested; I don't shoot at wires; I was sorry he quit hunting; nobody hunts doves with buckshot (he said where he comes from they call all shotgun loads buckshot); again, I wasn't there last year and I didn't/don't/won't shoot the wires; and he wouldn't be writing down my license plate number. Then the deputy showed up.
I left the field in Kodak with a half-limit of doves and enough empty hulls to prove I'm not a very good wingshot.
I left the field in Blount County after not firing a shot, watching the only two doves that came in range get a free pass because straw hat man was intent on telling his tale.
It was OK. I probably would have missed.

Indian Bonds Complete Monthly Advance as Reserve Bank Buys Debt
Feb. 29 (Bloomberg) -- India's benchmark bonds completed a monthly gain as the central bank continued debt purchases to ease a cash squeeze in the banking system.
Yields fell after the Reserve Bank of India cut the amount of deposits lenders need to set aside as reserves to 5.5 percent from 6 percent on Jan. 24, the first reduction since 2009. The monetary authority, which has bought 1 trillion rupees ($20.4 billion) of bonds since November, will offer to purchase as much as 120 billion rupees of government notes this week, the central bank said in a statement yesterday.
"Bond purchases are supporting the drop in yields despite tight cash conditions," said M. Natarajan, the Mumbai-based head of treasury at Bank of Nova Scotia. "One more reduction in the reserve ratio next month also looks like a done deal."
The yield on the 8.79 percent notes due November 2021 declined six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 8.21 percent in Mumbai this month, according to the central bank's trading system. The rate fell one basis point today.
Lenders borrowed a record 1.8 trillion rupees at the Reserve Bank of India's repurchase auction today, according to RBI data, three times the maximum of 600 billion rupees favored by the central bank. The next policy review is due on March 15.
India's economy grew at the slowest pace in more than two years last quarter as domestic demand weakened and the global recovery faltered, adding pressure on the central bank to lower interest rates.
'Subdued Growth'
Gross domestic product rose 6.1 percent in the three months through December following the previous quarter's 6.9 percent gain, the Central Statistical Office said in a statement in New Delhi today. The median of 29 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 6.3 percent advance.
"Growth will remain subdued in the next few quarters," said Sonal Varma, a Mumbai-based economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. "Slowing growth and cooling inflation are creating conditions for the RBI to cut rates, but a larger budget deficit is limiting the central bank's space."
Varma predicted the central bank will cut the cash reserve ratio by 50 basis points in March. Nomura expects the repurchase rate, at which the monetary authority lends to banks, to be reduced by 100 basis points to 7.5 percent in 2012.
The nation's budget deficit exceeded the full-year target in the first 10 months of the fiscal year ending March 31, the Controller General of Accounts said on its website today. The shortfall was 4.35 trillion rupees, compared with an aim of 4.13 trillion rupees.
The cost of one-year interest-rate swaps, or derivative contracts used to guard against fluctuations in funding costs, fell two basis points this month to 8.14 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The rate fell four basis points today.

A Truly Green Greenland in Human Time Arrests Mind
Perhaps nothing beats the Sahara for feelings of timelessness and unboundedness, but surely the worldâ''s icy deserts take second place in the metaphysical imagination. Itâ''s more than a little disconcerting to learn then, in the June 20 issue of Science magazine, that just 400,000 years agoâ''well into the era in which modern humans were evolvingâ''the southern reaches of Greenland were not just green but covered with vast spruce forests. A second article in the same issue discusses two very sudden warmings Greenland experienced 15 thousand and 11 thousand years ago, while a perspective piece addresses the implications of Greenlandâ''s climate changes for tomorrowâ''s world.

After a spectacular night of MMA action, UFC president Dana White awarded Joe Lauzon (Pictured), Jim Miller, John Moraga and Todd Duffee each an additional $65,000 for their special performances Saturday night at "UFC 155." Moraga kicked the card off in style by rallying to slap on a guillotine choke on Chris Cariaso. The tapout not only earned Moraga a 2-0 mark in the Octagon, but also 'Submission of the Night' honors. Lauzon survived a mauling from Miller in the opening round to put on the most thrilling affair of the evening. The lightweights earned 'Fight of the Night' for their showing. Duffee ended his two-year Octagon hiatus in spectacular fashion by steamrolling Phil DeFries with a vicious barrage of strikes. The assault scored him 'Knockout of the Night.' UFC 154 took place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fight of the Night: Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller ($65,000/each) Submission of the Night: John Moraga ($65,000) Knockout of the Night: Todd Duffee ($65,000)

Today's weekly column for the Deseret News:
Today's weekly column for the Deseret News:
Nice. Hopefully we can get his message up and down the ladder. I note the new temple film still more or less slurs it together as "a help-meet for-him" instead of "a-help, meet-for-him." Perhaps we can get to work on the next bit being passed around, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/faithpromotingrumor/2007/08/playing-fast-and-loose/
Literally — that was a great article!
On a more serious note, it would be good for men to understand that in a leadership situation most revelation comes from the bottom up (figuratively speaking of course ). That many times revelation is scattered among us and this is true in families as well. The key is that the one who has responsibility must be in tune so they can recognize when inspiration comes through someone else (usually a sister). A husband who dominates is unable to recognize revelation when it occurs.
" most revelation comes from the bottom up"
A good example of this is 3rd Nephi where the Savior teaches the children directly some things that were never revealed before and the children reveal it to the "higher" earthly authorities in a sense. It kind of turns the nice and neat revelatory org chart on its head that we sometimes construct for ourselves (in order to avoid the more uncomfortable question of revelation authority). But the children in this case taught truths so sacred and unprecedented they could not even be written down. Presumably because God desires the privilege to decide where, when and to whom they are revealed.
Thank you for the insight from 3rd Nephi.
"It kind of turns the nice and neat revelatory org chart on its head that we sometimes construct for ourselves…"
I think there is a pattern in how the Lord reveals things and that is what is most important to me. For me, the pattern is that the Lord will reveal his will to those who are most familiar with a situation and he expects them to bring it up to the presiding authority if necessary. Most of us do not have visibility into the Church as a whole therefore we cannot receive inspiration for the entire Church. But I can bring up to the Bishop things that relate to my calling. The important thing is that it is up to the person who has the authority to preside to determine the source of the inspiration. This leaves us free to acquire revelation for our own lives and our callings in the Church without having to consult our Bishop. We may need to bring things up to the Bishop because of a prompting, but that is why we have councils.
Bad news the OED has included an additional definition for "literally" (HINT: you won't like it): http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2013/08/literally/

So let's be honest, Michael Phelps will always hold a special place in our heart, but maybe it's time to focus on the other American Olympians rocking Speedos poolside.
Enter Ryan Lochte. You might recognize the name as he did manage to score six medals in the 2008 Olympics, (three gold, two silver, one bronze) -- a really impressive performance that was unfortunately overshadowed by his teammate's record haul of eight solid gold accolades.
But with Phelps admittedly backing off his training regimen in lieu of becoming a better person, this summer's games might be all about Lochte.
The chiseled swimmer is rocking the July/August cover of Men's Health magazine and in the issue, he talks about his personal best, which he thinks is yet to come. "I know I haven't had those perfect swims yet."
In the 2011 World Championships he not only managed to personally beat Phelps, but also to set a world record. Apparently that's just a starter course, "The World Championships were just an appetizer of what I'm capable of doing."
Though he did recently lose a meet to Phelps, Lochte blames it on over-training (presumably for the big show coming this summer), "During heavy training, I'm not great because I'm so beat up."
So it certainly seems he has the confidence to take center stage in London, but does he have the skill?
Lochte thinks it's in there. "Pain, tolerance, endurance—when it comes down to that point, there's always something left. You just have to find it," he says.
We hope he can do it… and we are certainly going to enjoy watching him try.
For your own appetizer, the issue of Men's Health is on newsstands now.

Natural Infertility Treatments
The worst feeling in the world is the desire to be a mother and learning you can't get pregnant for one reason or another. Infertility is a booming business with no guarantee that one will conceive. This is a subject close to my heart because i too was infertile and i want you to know there are natural infertility treatments available that work.
Infertility Treatments PCOS
I have PCOS and always know i would have a problem getting pregnant. Being over weight didn't help the matter either. I was borderline diabetic, I had Hypothyroidism. Getting me pregnant was a challenge to say the least. I went to a well respected reproductive endocrinologist and spent a few years just getting my hormones balanced with various drugs. When the time came that i started taking shots, My ovaries over stimulated, my husbands sperm count went down and we were back to square 1 with a failed pregnancy attempt.
Infertility Natural Cures
I was getting really upset and frustrated from all the failure and finally decided to go the completely natural route to help things along. I ate the right foods, detoxed my body with various natural supplements, I changed completely my approach. I went on a search to do anything i read that would help me along including colonics and acupuncture. Anything i read that was Linked to infertility i avoided. I continued with my fertility treatments because it was now not only my problem but my husbands too. The doctor was seeming less hopeful I was getting upset and emotional and decided come hell or high water i was going to be pregnant. That is when i sought out alternative infertility treatments.
Alternative Infertility Treatments
I definitely would not have gotten pregnant had I not committed to finding natural infertility treatments. I tried the medical approach first. I saw how my body reacted with the blood work, sonograms, etc. I knew the dieting, supplements, all the acupuncture, the cleansing, it all changed the way my body responded. So much so that my doctor didn't want to continue treatment and wanted me to stop taking medicine because he told me it wasn't working.
I didn't allow him to make me stop and made him move forward with the treatments and even though he got nasty, i knew i was doing everything right so i just ignored his pessimism. I did get pregnant at that time even though he not only told me i wouldn't but that he also said would no longer treat me.
Imagine his surprise when my pregnancy test not only came out positive but i was pregnant with twins. Ladies, don't you ever give up. There are many treatments available out there and i want you to know you do have options.
If your husband is infertile you need to address his issues as well. There are natural things he can do to boost his sperm count too.

Happy, social, fun, smart, determined, out-going. Those are just a few of the characteristics you'll find in this girl.
Since I was young, I wanted to meet my Prince Charming, and let's be honest, I still do. But my Prince Charming is a specific type of guy. He needs to be be as social as me and be willing to go out and try new things. Not only do I want someone who can be romantic, but I want someone who can be fun and adventurous. I'm constantly trying new things and pushing myself to new levels. I'm not afraid to go beyond my comfort zone, and I want someone to go with me. I'm your typical girlie-girl (I'll be honest), but I couldn't be a bigger sports fan. Don't mess with my Browns. I'd love to have someone who could be a shopper on the side but a sports fan at heart, which means, that I want someone who's willing to do a wide-range of activities. Above all else, I'm looking for someone who's fun, spontaneous and driven. I work hard to have fun and have a great career, and I'd love to have the same qualities in the person I'm with.

The Tampa Bay Rays were in the middle of a beatdown on Friday night, when the Red Sox decided to hit back -- literally. The Red Sox and Rays got themselves tangled up in a benches clearing brawl on Friday night, and one so exhillirating that even the bench coaches were getting all amped up. After Dustin Pedroia was beaned in the back during the sixth inning, Red Sox pitche Franklin Morales made a point of it to retalliate by hitting Rays' DH Luke Scott. An unhappy Scott started heading towards the mound in a fit of anger but a...
Lets get this stright... He was not going to the mound "in a fit of anger". He looked to be more or less calm. And you said "Rays center fielder B.J. Upton could even be seen mouthing off to Red Sox fans." Truth is, it was the fans that were "mouthing off" to him. I am a huge sox fan but let the truth be the truth. The "beaning" of Dustin Pedroia was a accident. No way would the Rays want to pitch to Ortiz. Our pitcher went out of his way to hit Scott. I just wish we would admit it. It is a sad fact that we are loosing... we should try to loose in style, then we can turn this thing around with class.
You are NO sox fan. You are just another front runner Rays phony posting on this site. The Rays have no major league ballpark, no major league payroll and NO titles. So win something before you start mouthing off.
Another Rays loser posting nonsense. They hit Pedey on purpose, no other way to explain where he got hit. Maddon, another mgr never to win anything, is prone to hitting players while in the lead. The Sox just sent a message back protecting their little engine that could. Nice job Morales and if it happens again keep drilling those losers until those thick headed losers get the message. This from a team with no fans and no titles. How disgraceful the Rays team, organization and fans are. b J Upton the loafer mouthing off the sox fans? Why don't you grow a pair and go outside after the game if your so tough. What a POS this guy is.
I am so glad a sox fan wrote the above!! As I was reading the article I couldn't believe how irresponsible and misleading it was to the actual events. As far as both sides getting in a few swings, I didn't see one punch thrown and lastly to use the word "melee" is a gross exaggeration.
Another loser Rays fan. Try winning something before you open your trap. You've been losers every of your existence so why don't you just STFU!
What the hell is a looser?

Ted Nugent to Play The Orleans Showroom, 7/12
Rock music legend and "Cat Scratch Fever"' singer, Ted Nugent brings his impressive guitar skills and live show to the Orleans Showroom on July 12.
Nugent's musical talents, ear shattering volume and over-the-top onstage antics quickly earned him the nickname "Motor City Madman."
Nugent initially gained fame as the lead guitarist of the band "The Amboy Dukes" before embarking on a solo career. He was known throughout his early career for using Fender amps, which contributed to his signature sound, and for playing the hollow-body Gibson Byrdland guitar. Nugent began touring annually in 1967-averaging more than 300 shows per year.
Commonly recognized as the world's leading guitar showman, Nugent's no-holds-barred career spans five decades of multi-platinum hits. Throughout his career, Nugent has released more than 34 albums and has sold a total of 30 million records.
Nugent's 1970s hits, including "Stranglehold," "Cat Scratch Fever," "Wango Tango," and "Great White Buffalo," as well as the 1960s "Amboy Dukes" hit titled "Journey to the Center of the Mind," remain popular today and are played on classic rock and active rock radio stations across the globe.
Additionally, Nugent held numerous acting roles, and starred in a number of reality television programs. Nugent appeared in popular series including "Miami Vice," "That '70s Show," "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," "The Simpsons," along with reality shows "Surviving Nugent," and "Forever Wild."
Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available from $79.95 plus tax and convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.365.7075, or by visiting www.orleanscasino.com.
