Joined: 2/16/2008I know it is all about the dogs but you still have to throw in a good shot. I have gotten a couple with a bow and have never seen one drop as fast as that. You really are liking that dxt aren't you? you coming through Idaho anytime soon. The wolves over here are terrible at the moment. This photo was taken from a tree stand here in Idaho. I heard the president delisted them finally this is a good deal. Maybe we can get a handle on them.

It was fun to see the dog run, I did enjoy that.
But Lion hunting doesnt seem for me.[/quote:2jmuwkso]
Doesn't seem what to you joshua?
I honestly respect your thoughts
Curious on how you think lions should be managed
or should they [/quote:2jmuwkso]
you know Josh I never wanted to hunt one ether I thing there god's most purities animal he made. but after last year and what happened with me and the cat I want to hunt one so bad man that was a rush. [/quote:2jmuwkso]
To me it seems like target practice the animal has no where to go, after it gets treed its just a matter of shooting it out of a tree. I have no problem with other people hunting them at all, I believe they should be hunted but its not something I would do.
I am very afraid of running into one in the wild, Two years ago on a deer hunt I watched one stalk a moose…..
it got within 20 yards and then took off after it the moose bolted and was able to go through some thick brush and get away. We needed to walk through that area to get back to the car. I had my knife drawn the entire walk back. but never would of shot at the cat if I had the rifle. just not my cup of tea.March 8, 2009 at 2:46 pm #524815 Back to Top REPORT

Joined: 12/20/2006A lion hunt has been at the top of my list for awhile now but i have a question that i have never understood. We hear stories about lions attacking children and what not, why does the lions run from a small dog and climb up a tree. isnt there any fear that the lion would just kill the dow quick and be on his way?March 9, 2009 at 10:02 pm #524822 Back to Top REPORT

Bob, congrats on a great hunt and an awesome video. Thank you for sharing it. I really enjoy watching a great dog do what he loves and was bred for. Nothing better.
Always wondered if those cats ever figure out that they're 3 times the size of the dog and a whole lot meaner? Hopefully not.
I'd give lion hunting a go in a heartbeat–not sure if I could still shoot after treking 5+ miles up and down a mountain though. [/quote:39si6ik8]
Funny you said that as Joe and I have had that same conversation If the cats only knew what they could do to that dog then it would be all over in 10 seconds…also if the dog knew he would say "forget it you go chase that cat"
Joe just came back from treeing another cat today…Spencer has 13 under his belt this season alone…The cat had just killed another mule deer…man they are killers got some more footage maybe do a bit on it we will see…getting tired of editing
Spencer usually goes alone (he likes it that way)gets tired of always training those other dogs but if there is more then one dog then they have a better chance against those killer cats [/quote:39si6ik8]
Interesting, I said to my wife," If that dog only knew what that cat could do to it". All that cat had to do was decide it didn't want to run anymore. Its the same with bear hunting, those dogs are amazing. But i wouldn't sell them short either, i am sure they could hold their own. But that is why it is important to keep up with the dog. Kudos to the hunter, the houndsman for being in shape enough to keep the dog safe. Spencer is amzing, so are you!!!! Awesome hunt, one of my favorites ever!!!!March 9, 2009 at 10:54 pm #524824 Back to Top REPORT

Well I just finished posting the video of the cougar I took with my bow last Sunday. I am only going to post it for a short time as there are many who do not think it is right to take a lion. If those people only knew the whole story of lion hunting then they wouldn't be quick to judge. Of course they don't have to watch it either do they? A lion will kill a deer,elk,moose a week in our area. Treed another cat today and left it unharmed as Joe couldn't determine if it was a female or a tom. The quota for females is full and it is for tom's only now. Once again the glory of this hunt goes to the Good Lord above and to Wonder Dog Spencer….enjoy…I will keep it posted through the weekend.
Alan you still thinking of at hunting next year?…Spencer has a year maybe two left. It will be like winning the lottery if you draw a tag, but hey it will be worth it if you do.

Syrian Opposition Calls for UN Meeting on Assad 'Massacre'
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The Syrian National Council, an opposition alliance seeking to topple President Bashar al-Assad, called for a United Nations' Security Council meeting to address alleged "massacres" and "large-scale genocide."
State forces have killed 250 people in the past 48 hours in the regions of Idlib, Homs and al-Zawiyah, the council said in an e-mailed statement. The regions should be be declared "safe zones," it said.
Bloomberg is unable to verify the charges as the Syrian government restricts foreign media access in the country and places curbs on local journalists.
Assad has blamed the unrest on foreign provocateurs, and his forces have used tanks, armored vehicles and artillery to crush the uprising. The UN estimates that more than 5,000 civilians and army defectors have been killed in the unrest that started in mid-March.
The government agreed this week to an Arab League protocol to allow monitors into the country to verify compliance with an agreement to halt the violence. The Dec. 19 signing came as the Arab League moved closer to asking the UN to address the crisis.
Syria agreed to the monitors after the Arab group agreed to 70 percent of the amendments sought by the government, foreign minister Walid Al-Muallem said Dec. 19 without elaborating.
About 500 observers are set to deploy around Syria in groups of 10, Arab League Secretary-General Nabil el-Arabi said yesterday in Cairo.
The Arab League imposed sanctions on Syria on Nov. 27, increasing economic and political pressure on Assad. Efforts by the U.S. and Europe, which have also imposed sanctions, to get a condemnation of Assad's crackdown at the Security Council have been blocked by Russia and China.

Born January 28, 1964, Gloucester, David Lawrence was tipped as a fine prospect with genuine pace. Little did he know that his career would meet a premature end. On the last day of the Wellington Test in February 1992, the right-arm fast bowler fractured his kneecap as he fell on the floor while loading up to bowl. The painful injury marked the end of his Test career. He continued to play first-class cricket until retirement in 1997.

I think he'll prevail, too. I hope he does.
But, still you sign a contract...you should take the time to check if your prospective new domicile has LOS.
If not, either try a different location, or be prepared to be a big-boy and pay the ETF, that you willingly agreed to as part of your D* service.
You can move anywhere, whenever you want. Just be ready to actually live up to the obligations you voluntarily sign-up for, too. With freedom of choice, comes personal responsibility.
I don't know about the OP, but I have never SIGNED a contract when they extend my service agreements. I have verbally agreed, but never signed anything.
You are making it sound like this guy abandoned a mortgage or something. With freedom of choice comes personal responsibility? Are you joking? This is TV we are talking about.
Bottomline: He moved WITHIN their listed service area. He told them he was moving, DirecTV sends installers, and they cannot provide a signal. They can no longer provide service to him. He didn't end the service contract, DirecTV did.

Waratahs v Brumbies - Live
Full-time: Waratahs 39-8 Brumbies
79 TRY, WARATAHS, PALU. 39-8. A try to finish and it's Palu the deserved try-scorer after an initial Hooper break. Beale has missed the touchline conversion.
78 This game is fizzling out on halfway as the 'Tahs know they are up to top spot while the Brumbies realised a while ago they are a beaten side. They will look to work on things in next week's bye.
75 PENALTY, WARATAHS, BEALE. 34-8. More points for the 'Tahs as Beale kicks from in front. The lead grows.
73 So it's now all about pride for the Brumbies as they attack 35 metres out. However, their desperation has seen them force a pass so possession is coughed up.
70 CONVERSION, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 31-8. Two more points as Alofa-Alofa comes off after scoring the fourth.
69 TRY, WARATAHS, ALOFA-ALOFA. 29-8. Folau is just too good as he holds two defenders to give his wing the space to dive over on the right touchline. Superb.
66 So it is now a mountain to climb for the Brumbies, who are defending again on halfway and could be in trouble here. Ashley-Cooper breaks down the left before Horne should send over Phipps. He doesn't.
63 CONVERSION, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 24-8. Two more for him.
61 TRY, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 22-8. A dummy from five out sees the Wallaby number ten stroll over. Nice try.
60 YELLOW CARD, BRUMBIES, AUELUA. Brumbies replacement Fotu Auelua is the victim of an ongoing team offence and goes to the bin as he slowed down Waratahs ball.
59 Scrum penalty for the Brumbies. They needed that!
58 And it almost goes the way of the Waratahs after an unbelievable carry from Folau saw him have several Brumbies on his back. TMO says it is inconclusive, as play restarts with a Waratahs five-metre scrum.
56 But the Brumbies get out of jail as obstruction has handed the visitors a relieving penalty, which is cleared. Next score will be critical in this game.
55 Final warning for the Brumbies as they continue to slow down Waratahs ball. The hosts look to turn the screw here as they kick to touch, twelve metres out.
53 Can the Brumbies compound that miss as they tap and go from a penalty just inside their own half? Wing Speight runs hard but they're now stuck on halfway.
50 The nine-point gap is almost put back to twelve though pretty quickly as Murphy is penalised for failing to roll away. Luckily for the Brumbies, Foley is off-target as Skelton enters the fray.
47 PENALTY, BRUMBIES, LEALIIFANO. 17-8. Foley is now caught offside so up steps Lealiifano from 30 out.
45 Walsh gets a call from his assistant that the 'Tahs have knocked on so here's a chance for the Brumbies to launch an attack. 40 metres out, fairly central.
44 PENALTY, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 17-5. A scrum penalty is won by the 'Tahs so here's Foley to extend matters.
41 Welcome back to the action and it's early ball for the Waratahs after a knock-on. 20 metres out here.
Half-time: Waratahs 14-5 Brumbies
39 But that setback is being equalled if not beaten by the Brumbies line-out, with a third throw called not straight. They are really missing Moore and Siliva.
38 A bad minute for the Waratahs as Beale misses three points from distance and they also lose flank Dave Dennis to a knee injury. Waratahs ball on halfway.
36 Well the hosts almost hit back straight away with Foley slicing through on the 22. However, his pass goes to Speight so the Brumbies survive...for now.
33 So how will that try lift the Brumbies and can the Waratahs - notably Folau - shake it off and bounce back? 'Tahs throw just inside opposition territory.
31 The difficult conversion is missed by Lealiifano.
30 TRY, BRUMBIES, MOGG. 14-5. A try out of nothing as Mogg out-jumps Folau in the corner for a key score.
27 No, is the short answer as the 'Tahs clear through Foley. And it gets worse again at lineout time for the Brumbies as their throw on halfway is crooked.
25 Rare and welcome ball for the Brumbies soon follows though as they set up camp on the home 22. Now, can they unlock the home defence, thus cutting the lead?
23 Line-out isn't straight from Ruaidhri Murphy so the day gets worse for the Brumbies. Waratahs put-in on their own ten-metre with plenty of width available.
20 CONVERSION, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 14-0. The lead grows.
19 TRY, WARATAHS, ALOFA-ALOFA. 12-0. Intercept score from his own ten-metre and there was no catching him. The Brumbies are hit with a double setback.
17 CONVERSION, WARATAHS, FOLEY. 7-0. Decent strike.
16 TRY, WARATAHS, ROBINSON. 5-0. They're over. A short sneak from the loosehead prop opens the scoring.
15 But here come the Waratahs after Brumbies fly-half Lealiifano is offside. Foley kicks to the corner, five metres out here with big runners all hungry.
13 Rodney Iona replaces Kuridrani as the game remains scoreless, with the 'Tahs packing down on halfway. No, an early engage so it's now a Brumbies put-in.
10 There could well be another casualty to add to the Brumbies' growing injury list as Kuridrani takes a head knock. He walks off for the concussion test.
9 Handling error from the Brumbies after that line-out leads to kick tennis that is won by Mogg and how. A fine touch-finder from the Brumby into the corner.
7 Potgieter has been busy with carries early on but this time he is caught isolated, so the Brumbies drill the ball into the home 22. Line-out coming.
5 Lealiifano has hit the post with his first penalty attempt so the Brumbies blow an opportunity to take an early lead. They still have territory however.
3 A late change to mention as Clyde Rathbone starts on the wing in place of the injured Andrew Smith. That means Robbie Coleman has shifted to inside centre.
2 Too much on a kick from Nic White means play will restart with a 'Tahs 22 drop-out. Decent start as these two teams look to shine after the June Tests.
1 We are off as the smoke begins to clear in Sydney.
International players Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Kurtley Beale, Rob Horne, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Sekope Kepu and Tatafu Polota-Nau all return to the XV while Will Skelton is on the bench for the 'Tahs.
Hello and welcome to our coverage of this Australian derby between the Waratahs and Brumbies. The 'Tahs sit top of their local conference but have a chance to lead the overall standings with a victory today.

So it's been 4+ months since the last burrito incident, and today I came home with my first "bomb" (that would be aptly noted as "the bomb" bomb burrito, an arm sized portion of americanized mexi-cal cuisine I picked up from the gas station). I was a bit tipsy, so any concerns that this epic sized burrito would explode in my face was tempered by feel good feelings of girls and booze.
I put in the microwave an unprecedented 2 minutes, and then a further unprecedented 1 minute flipped over, and I am happy to say it did not completely lay waste to my microwave in an Openheimer sized disaster of an explosion.
I now have a burrito the size of a small child in my stomach, and I feel gooooooood.

American public companies have long relied on recruiting top executives in hopes they'll replicate the success they've achieved in the past. Such "celebrity CEOs" have been fun for the media to cover, stock analysts to value, and employees to dish upon. They've also almost routinely failed, at least in recent memory.
Ron Johnson is a good poster child for why. He was credited with leading the Apple Apple retail store concept to its first billion dollars in annual sales, while establishing the stores' Genius Bars as core experiential elements of the Apple brand (and, before that, introducing product lines created by designers into Target Target). It must have been obvious to J. C. Penney's board that Johnson's past was just what Penney's future needed.
With Johnson a flameout little over a year later, however, the dangers of hiring a celebrity CEO should be clear:
It grossly misunderstands success. Rarely are CEOs successful because of internal qualities; rather, their skills and personalities are matched to a particular circumstance (situation and people, mostly). The idea that they could do the same thing in a different situation is nonsense. Psychologists have a term for it — the fundamental attribution error – which means we ignore context, and value supposed inherent qualities instead. There are just as many reasons why a leader will fail next time as there are reasons why they succeeded last time. Since CEOs are people, too, they often fall prey to the same psych syndrome, and believe that they know what tomorrow will bring because they were right yesterday. They couldn't be more wrong, making for the odd paradox that their past successes could lead them to fail in the future.
It ignores physics. Because of the nearly infinite variability of circumstance, it's physically impossible to do the same thing twice, let alone regularly. Every situation is unique. It's why no kid will get discovered on YouTube like Justin Bieber, or even the most talented baseball player performs differently each season (or on a new team). Again, it argues for the need to identify and understand the things that are different between circumstances, not the same, and try to match leadership skills to that variability. Rarely is the same person the right person for a multitude of situations. It's obvious to everyone now that J. C. Penney stores aren't the same as Apple stores. Is it possible nobody knew that a year ago? Even Bieber was already having trouble being Bieber again and again.
It sets unreasonable expectations. In an era when stakeholders value companies based on both the specifics and nuance of reputation, the addition of a bigger-than-life CEO reputation skews those expectations, as well as makes them unreasonable. I think this is what we're seeing in the incessant media coverage of Marissa Mayer at Yahoo Yahoo It's unfair to her and to the business. She's there to do the brilliant things she did at Google, but she has thousands of people to bring along with her at a company in a far different place from that of her former employer. Yet there's this giant spotlight watching her every move, waiting to see in her evidence of whether the entire company is succeeding or failing. It's the wrong place to look. Look at what it did to Carol Bartz (Mayer's celebrity predecessor at Yahoo).
Our appreciation of celebrity CEOs is based on two quirks of history: First, the idea gained popularity late last century when execs like Al "Chainsaw" Dunlap could go from company to company and do exactly the same thing…cut costs, fire people, and generally rip places to shreds. Their skills were repeatedly applicable because their employers defined every circumstance the same way. It was a different planet back then. Second, the CEOs who didn't blow stuff up — Steve Jobs being a good example — were celebrities because they stayed where they were most successful, implicitly affirming the idea that circumstances and skills need to be matched in order to yield results. This would suggest that the execs most deserving of celebrity status (and likely to succeed) should be the least likely to change jobs.
I don't understand why most media and stock analysts still buy the premise. Rather, shouldn't public companies that recruit celebrity CEOs suffer a "celebrity discount" in valuation, or a higher risk profile? At a minimum, any celeb running a company would do well to do everything to shift the focus from themselves and back to the business.
After all, results were what made them famous in the first place.

A modeling study from the European Alps suggests that population declines to be observed during the upcoming decades will probably underestimate the long-term effects of recent climate warming on mountain plants. A European team of ecologists around Stefan Dullinger from the Department of Conservation Biology, Vegetation and Landscape Ecology of the University of Vienna presents a new modeling tool to predict migration of mountain plants which explicitly takes population dynamic processes into account. Their results are published in "Nature Climate Change".
Plant species are expected to respond to a warming climate by moving their ranges pole-wards or up-wards in mountains. Previous attempts to predict such range shifts have made several simplifying assumptions leading to large uncertainties about the impending loss of mountain plant populations.
In their study published in "Nature Climate Change" a European team of ecologists uses a new modeling approach which relaxes some of these assumptions. The authors apply this approach to simulate how 150 high mountain plant species will migrate from their current distribution in the Alps across this mountain range in response to 21st century climate trends. The results indicate that by the end of the 21st century the Alpine high mountain flora will lose on average 44 to 50% of its current distribution area, a fairly moderate forecast as compared to predictions achieved from more traditional modeling techniques.
However, the new approach also suggests that rapid climate trends foreseen for this century will likely outpace species' range shifts considerably. In particular, many of the plant populations predicted to persist in the near future will actually do so under local climate conditions that are already unsuitable for their long-term survival because long live spans and clonal reproduction strategies of many high mountain plants allow them to retard extinction.

Korostil opened his first store in Cohoes in 2007, but after damages from a fire and a flood in their basement, he decided to take his store elsewhere. The damage was not the only reason for the move, though, as he noticed it was hard for his customers to actually get to the store.
"It was too complicated to go to Cohoes," Korostil said. "People had to carve out an hour and a half to get there. It looks like people can get here [the Colonie location] from any direction."
After four weeks of the store's Colonie residency, Korostil said he has seen all of his old customers come in, as well as some new faces that have wandered in out of curiosity.
Alex Yurovsky, a Clifton Park resident who moved from Russia in 2004, comes down to the store once every two or three weeks to get food he says is better than American food.
"I get the bread, sometimes sausages and sometimes the fish," he said. "Eastern European taste is very different from American taste. Americans have lost all the recipes [of European tradition]. They just dusted it away, like McDonalds."
Korostil said his store offers 75-80 different types of meat including mortadella, krestyanskaya and knockwurst.
"Many people like to try something different," he said. "You just have to be brave enough to step in and try it."
A few people from the Ivory Coast made their way into the store for the first time, so he began offering them suggestions and giving them samples of the different vegetables and meats his store had to offer.
"Very first impression for people who come in is it's different," he said of his store. "It's different than Chinese food and it's different than Middle Eastern food. It has a unique, specific twist to it. For some people, they have to try it once or twice. They have to be a little more open."
Korostil said he hopes to expand his store by adding more features such as a kitchenette or even different types of foods.
"Maybe I'll add some dumplings or perogies," he said. "We need time to settle in here, first."

U.S. Secretary Rice plans March visit to Israel, Palestinian Authority
U.S. Sec. of State: Now is the time to try to establish a Palestinian state, finally end conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday she planned to visit Israel and the Palestinian Authority early next month to help both sides narrow their differences in Palestinian statehood talks.
The administration headed by U.S. President George W. Bush is trying to get both Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a peace deal before Bush leaves office in January 2009, but talks that were launched in Annapolis last November have so far gotten off to a slow start.
Rice told U.S. lawmakers that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas were trying to continue their discussions "without much public glare" and the United States was doing everything it could to help.
"I will probably return to the region at the beginning of March, senator, to see if we can help them," Rice told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad met with Rice in Washington this week and complained the Israelis were not doing enough on the ground to help his government, which is seeking to get checkpoints removed from the West Bank.
Israel argues that the checkpoints are needed to protect itself against Palestinian suicide bombers.
Rice said she was focusing hard to try and improve "circumstances" for the Palestinians, adding that she had met two U.S. generals earlier on Wednesday who were working to ensure that Israel is following through on its obligations as agreed upon in the 2003 U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan.
Rice conceded Washington's peace efforts had been "challenged" by the complicated situation on the ground in the Palestinian Authority, where Abbas' Fatah movement controls the West Bank and the militant group Hamas has been in charge of the Gaza Strip since June.
Moreover, she said the "irresponsible, deadly" behavior of Hamas, which has been firing rockets into Israel, had made it very difficult.
"The good news is that the parties, who seem really quite devoted to solving their conflict this time, are continuing their negotiations and we will be there to try and help them," said Rice.
"Because as the president said, the time is now to try to get a Palestinian state and finally end that conflict."

We used IvoryMint for our save the date cards and invitation & RSVP cards. I was a bit hesitant to use them because they are quite a young company - they openly say it on their website (I liked their honesty). But I absolutely loved their designs, very unique and modern. We went for the 'Purple Chevron' design and the moment I opened our package, only 4 days after our final revision was done, I fell in love with them. Not only do the cards look great, the quality is very high too - nice and… Read Full Review

DURHAM, N.C., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: OXBO) today announced that the company has closed its proposed acquisition of outstanding common stock purchase warrants.
The company acquired and cancelled 52.2 million common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.247 per share and an additional 18.7 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.245 per share, or a total of 70.9 million warrants.

"We are glad to have a financing arrangement in place with Vatea Fund that provides the means, after achieving specific milestones, to finance our future growth and development plans. We have significantly improved our working capital position which will enable us to advance the product development programs we have in place and consider a move to a major stock exchange."

Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the Financial Services Appropriations Bill, which incorporates a $22 million increase for the Small Business Administration (SBA) over the President's request. The bill allocates a total of $697 million in funding for the Small Business Administration (SBA) and its core capital and counseling programs.
Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Chair, Mary Landrieu, D-La, highlighted that this represents more than $150 million increase from last year. Chair Landrieu and Ranking Member Olympia J. Snowe, R-Maine both worked with the Appropriations Committee to raise these funding levels for the SBA. "The agency's funding has been cut more than any other agency in the last eight years. We can't reverse this trend overnight, but this bill goes a long way in rebuilding core programs. The funding will allow the agency to back additional loans to entrepreneurs, provide technical assistance to struggling businesses and help ensure that small businesses have the resources needed to create jobs and help America get back on its feet," Sen. Landrieu said.
In terms of finance programs, the bill provides $80 million for the 7(a) loan program to back $17.5 billion in loans and keep fees low, and $3 million to back $25 million in microloans.
The contracting and counseling programs benefiting include the Small Business Development Centers ($114.4 million in funding), the SCORE program ($7 million), and the Federal and State Technology Partnership (FAST) program ($2 million in funding). This last program provides matching funds for states to increase the awareness and success in applying for and winning Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards, both of which are currently the subject of discussion in Congress.
In addition to the $697 million, the bill also includes $104 million for the SBA Disaster Loan Program to leverage more than $1 billion in loans. Finally, the bill also directs the SBA to fill vacant positions in local SBA district offices and the Department of Commerce's export assistance centers (out of the 109 of these centers nationwide, there are currently only 17 International Finance Specialists).

The new iPad Overheating issues?
I've had my new iPad for just about a week now and I had noticed that it was a little warmer on the bottom left hand corner of the device. Last night while surfing the web on it, the browser "crashed to desktop" two or three times in about a 5 minutes span. The device was actually getting much hotter than it ever had. It was hot enough that it made my hands sweaty so I put the device down for the night.
This morning I was using it and again it got hot, but this time the device actually shut off with a warning message about the ipad needing to cool down. So I did some reading and it appears I'm not alone with this issue. Decided to return the device for now, and wait and see if it was a bad batch, but it was pretty much unusable for me, which is a shame because I was loving the device.

The scenario: You want to sell your car without any hassles for a fair price. So you place an ad on a community website hoping for a quick sale. Shortly thereafter, you get a call from what sounds like an auto company. For a fee, the company promises to put you in touch with a buyer. If your car isn't sold, they promise to refund your money. So you go ahead and pay the fee, and wait for the company to present a buyer for your car.
Scammers pushing empty promises of wealth from business opportunities never cease to be creative. They come up with ideas that sound so detailed and timely that the deal has to be legit…at least, that's what they want you to think.
Scammers use a number of clever schemes to trick people into sending them money: they might promise a job, a loan, a scholarship, or a prize. They might even promise to recover money lost to a previous scam.
The letter you opened sounds like you've lucked out in a big way. It's an offer for free plane tickets to practically anyplace you want to go. The company — whose name appears to be that of a well-known airline — urges you to act quickly, or you might miss this "last chance." They even sent a "voucher" for the tickets.
Seems like all you have to do is call the toll-free number on the letter and you'll soon be flying off to your desired destination. The offer has a deadline, though, so you'd better call now, right?
If you've ever had a virus on your computer, you know what a nightmare it can be — a slow computer that crashes unexpectedly, your contact lists getting messages that you didn't send, your online accounts vulnerable to hacking.
Perhaps just as frustrating as a virus infecting your computer? Paying someone to get rid of a virus that isn't there.
The devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines has left many people asking how they can help. If you're looking for a way to give, the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, urges you to do some research to ensure that your donation will go to a reputable organization that will use the money as promised — and as you intend.
The FTC continues to crack down on fake debt collection and credit card interest rate reduction scams. We recently obtained a court order that imposes a $25.3 million judgment against the mastermind of two schemes that bilked consumers out of millions.
Phantom debts – sounds a little like a ghostly Halloween prank. Unfortunately, it's no joke. Some fake debt collectors may try deception and threats to pressure you to pay debts that you don't owe. The FTC recently obtained a temporary restraining order in a case against debt collectors, Pinnacle Payment Services, Lisa Jeter, her partners and related companies about just these kinds of practices. The court order shuts down the operation, pending trial.
Imagine getting a phone message like this:
This is the Civil Investigations Unit. We are contacting you in regards to a complaint being filed against you, pursuant to claim and affidavit number D00D-2932, where you have been named a respondent in a court action and must appear… Please forward this information to your attorney in that the order to show cause contains a restraining order. You or your attorney will have 24 to 48 hours to oppose this matter… Call 757-555-1234.
Who wouldn't be spooked? The FTC has gotten almost 3,000 complaints about messages like this.
Imagine this: it's the hottest day of the year. (Or, since we're getting into Fall, the coldest.) Someone from your utility company calls to say they're about to cut off your power. You check the caller ID, and it looks like the right number – at least, it's in your area code. You know you've paid your bill, and you can't imagine what happened – but you also know you can't afford to lose power. So what do you do?
Con artists are trying to steal money from people by falsely claiming they are associated with the federal courts, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The imposters tell people they are entitled to refunds as part of cases brought by the FTC against companies that engaged in timeshare resale fraud. People are told they must pay several hundred dollars in "court costs," "processing fees" or "filing fees" to get their refunds. The scammers may use an actual FTC case number to lend some legitimacy to their pitch. DO NOT GIVE THESE IMPOSTERS MONEY. THIS IS A SCAM.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation's consumer protection agency. The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace.

The 2018 reference in "Space Seed" does dangle there, since it seems obvious that any early-21st century Earth vessel predating Cochrane's Phoenix flight would have to be sublight in nature.
My take is that prior to 2018 sleeper ships were required for travel to any interplanetary travel within the Solar System (Similar to what we see in 2001: A Space Odyssey). In 2018 there was a propulsion breakthrough (impulse, perhaps) that--while still sub-light in nature--made sleeper ships for interplanetary travel. They would still be needed for any attempted interstellar travel until the development of the Warp Engine...
