WASHINGTON, July 31, 1998 Defense Secretary William S. Cohen directed the services to standardize good order and discipline policies among the services. He also clarified guidance intended to assist commanders as they contemplate charging service members with adultery.
Cohen's order will standardize fraternization policies among the services. Rudy de Leon, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said during a Pentagon news conference July 29 that the Army will have to change its more lenient fraternization policy to get in line with the other services.
Another change is to include a list of factors in the Manual for Courts-Martial that commanders should consider before charging service members with adultery.
The services have 30 days to present Cohen with draft implementation plans and 60 days to prepare training materials for changes to standardize the fraternization policies.
"We believe this will make policies more uniform, clear and fair," said de Leon, who headed the committee looking at the policies. "We believe this will enhance force effectiveness and readiness."
The officials stressed the Uniform Code of Military Justice will not change; however, the courts-martial manual will receive some changes.
"This does not indicate any lowering of standards," said de Leon. "The additional guidance makes it clear that adulterous conduct is unacceptable and remains an offense under the UCMJ."
Director of the Joint Staff Vice Adm. Dennis Blair echoed these sentiments. "There is no change in the standard, but [commanders have] a lot of help in applying the standard," he said.
Adultery and fraternization are covered by Article 134 of the UCMJ -- the General Article. It covers "all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and all crimes and offenses not capital ."
The briefers said breaches of good order and discipline are not widespread.
Contrary to news reports, the policy changes do not reduce the maximum sentence for adultery. It remains confinement for one year, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a dishonorable discharge. The maximum sentence for fraternization also remains the same: confinement for two years, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and dismissal.
A DoD background paper stressed these were the maximum sentences. Of all courts-martial for adultery in the last five years, none resulted in a dishonorable discharge, officials said.
Listing the factors commanders should consider is not intended to take away any of their discretion. "We want to ensure all concerned clearly understand the policy and the consequences for noncompliance," said DoD General Counsel Judith Miller. She said changes to the Manual for Courts- Martial will be published in the Federal Register and there will be a 75-day public comment period. If approved, President Clinton will sign an executive order to incorporate the changes in the manual.
Fraternization policy changes will cover most aspects of personal relationships between officer and enlisted personnel. These include dating, sharing living accommodations, engaging in intimate relations, business enterprises, commercial solicitations, gambling and borrowing.
The fraternization policy will also include what are now separate policies addressing relationships between recruiters and recruits, and between trainers and staff and trainees.
Other changes will promote standardization among the services. De Leon and Blair noted that more and more service members are serving in joint commands. "Service members are serving side-by-side with members from other services," de Leon said. "The services interpret and respond to fraternization differently. These differences could result in the same conduct being punished by one service and allowed in another." He said the changes will eliminate this problem.
Secretary Cohen announced three initiatives in June 1997 to ensure military policies governing good order and discipline are fair. The first was fulfilled when DoD implemented most recommendations from the December 1996 Kassebaum Baker panel report on gender-integrated training. The second initiative dealt with making sure good order and discipline policies were fair, effective and clearly understood. The third was to review the clarity of published guidance on the offense of adultery under the UCMJ.

Summerville Green opened the South Carolina American Legion Baseball League 1 Juniors Tournament Monday with a 12-5 win over Moncks Corner.
The winner of the four-team, double elimination tournament being held at Cane Bay High School this week will advance to participate in the state tournament. Summerville Gold and Goose Creek are also vying for that honor. Games will be held nightly until a league champion is crowned.
Wilson Beattie got the start on the hill for Summerville and threw three innings to pick up the win. Summerville's Cameron Almond also pitched three innings and both Bryce Speciale and Gabriel Crowder pitched in the seventh.
Summerville took the lead in the third inning. Steven Dibble doubled and Almond doubled to drive him in. Then Trevious Tucker plated Almond with a single.
Summerville added three runs in the fourth off an Almond single that plated Charlie Fessler and a double by Beattie that drove in Alex Hursey and Dibble.
In the sixth, Summerville took a 9-1 lead off hits by Tucker, Andrew Kenny and Hundley McCurry that drove in Dibble, Beattie and Tucker.
Summerville then added three runs in the top of the seventh. Hursey opened the inning by receiving a base on balls and scored on a single by Dibble. The Moncks Corner center fielder misplayed the ball and Dibble went all the way around the horn to score. Summerville's final run came when Kenny singled to plate Almond.
Moncks Corner scored four runs off four walks, three wild pitches and an error in the bottom of the frame, but Summerville secured the win by making a routine play on a grounder.

To The Editor:
As a consumer, I strongly believe that I have the right to know all of the ingredients found in food products. While I enjoy certain food products that contain genetically engineered ingredients, I think it is important for these ingredients to be labeled, so that all consumers may be well informed about what they are eating.
Simply labeling all non-GMO food as such is not sufficient. Just as we have the right to know if a product contains certain allergens such as nuts, eggs, gluten, or dairy, we should also easily be able to discern if genetically modified ingredients are present in food. This isn't inconveniencing corporations like Monsanto; it is only asking them for the honest disclosure that consumers have a right to. Thanks to the hard work of groups like VPIRG, Vermonters statewide have the chance to become involved in this important consumer rights issue.
VPIRG's summer campaign is out in force to inspire action statewide, but it is imperative that supporters of GMO labeling reach out and encourage their senators to support this bill next legislative session. Let us ensure that the voices of Vermonters not be drowned out by the will of large corporations.

Take Five
Five questions with Mike Hughes, assistant dean of academic and enrollment services, and director, undergraduate admission.
How do you decide who gets admitted to USF?
We make sure students are academically qualified. We've raised the academic profile substantially in the time I've been at USF. We look for the contributions that students will make to USF in and out of the classroom. Most of our applicants are drawn to USF by our mission to serve others, so for the most part, they bring a lot of service, concern for sustainability, and interest in global issues to the process. That means they're choosing us for the right reasons.
Mike, you've been director of undergraduate admission at USF for five years. How have things changed in that time?
We've seen a peak and slight decline in numbers of graduating high school students. Students who are now graduating now are more diverse, which is a good match for USF. This, coupled with the economy and the state of California's public universities, has meant an increase in transfer students, for which we are well prepared. And, of course, the climate of higher education is much more volatile, which has meant more competition among private institutions for the well-qualified students we want at USF. And technology has changed, not only for processing applications, but also for recruiting – social networking platforms are a good example.
How many applications did you receive this year for how many spots?
More than 10,000 for the first time in USF history, 10,850 and counting. That's a lot of transcripts, essays, and letters to read, but they're all important. We've projected a class of 1,510, including freshmen and transfer students, and that would be our largest class ever. When I started working in the admission office in 1998, we received about 4,500 applications and enrolled a fall 1999 class of 1,097 freshmen and transfers.
What are some of the strangest things you've seen on applications?
Letters of recommendation from counselors who tell us we'd be making a mistake if we admitted the applicant! You would think the student would clear that up before they had the letter sent.
What advice would you give prospective students?
I deplore the media frenzy on competition to get into selective colleges. The truth is that most students get into their top choice schools, and only a very small percentage of universities are hyper-selective. That means there are a lot of excellent choices that will meet each student's needs, including important financial considerations. I always tell students and families that instead of creating needless anxiety, they should create choices. Good grades, good test scores, and good research and planning will pay off in April when families can look at all of the admit letters and financial aid offers they've received and make the best decision. We always hope their choice is USF!

Controversy Surrounds Georges St-Pierre's Hand Wraps at UFC 158 | 5thRound.com
Press row became a tad bit distracted Saturday night during UFC 158s thrilling co-main event between Johny Hendricks and Carlos Condit. The drama began when Jake Shields posted a vague tweet after examining Georges St-Pierres (pictured) hand wraps on behalf of Nick Diaz.
I just checked GSPs gloves and the wrap looked shady now commission wont let me back. Been trying to for the past 30 minutes . Not saying hes cheating but wtf?! Shields wrote.
Before a bout, it is customary to have a fighters representative examine the tape job of an opponent alongside a supervisor from the athletic commission. Shields was that man for Diaz prior to last nights featured attraction.
The controversy was much ado about nothing if you were to ask UFC president Dana White.
So what happened was, Jake Shields was the one who sat in on the hand wrap, White said at the post-fight press conference. After they wrap [St-Pierre's] hands, Jake Shields said, Cool, see you later. And then they came back later and said they wanted another guy to look at the hand wraps and the commission said, You already did the hand wraps. Hes gloved up. Its over.
So then they started to freak out. But everything was taken care of. Then as soon as the fight was over, both hand wraps were cut off, put into bags and given to the commission.
For St-Pierre, he simply chalked it up to a last-ditch effort by Diaz to mess with his noggin.
Just before the fight, they send some guy to check my hand wrap, St-Pierre expressed. It was going back and forth, they were yelling in my locker room. Everything was about head games.
It was crazy. First time someone played a lot of head games like this with me.
While White and GSP tried to put hand wrap gate to bed, Diaz insinuated there might have been something funky with Rushs wraps.
This guy has no punching power, no offense. Im sorry, youre a wrestler, Diaz stated. I got hit with an elbow too, that didnt cut me, but something hit me right here (pointing to left eye).
Jake said he had an issue with his wraps. Maybe something was wrong with his wraps, I dont know. I aint gonna accuse him of anything. I did get hit with one shot that didnt feel like it was hard, it still opened a cut on my head.

I don't see how it's disrespectful as it accurately reflects what they cherish and hold dear to their hearts without pussyfooting around or beating around the bush by sugarcoating anything,
The best part of the service is the coffee and donuts.
QuoteI don't see how it's disrespectful as it accurately reflects what they cherish and hold dear to their hearts without pussyfooting around or beating around the bush by sugarcoating anything,Maybe they are a little ashamed of what they are and what they approve...
IMO - I don't think ANYONE likes being refered to in a negative context, and calling someone an 'Eternal Tormenter' isn't going to win you any favors from him/her. Is it what they believe? Yes, however it's a derrogatory comment towards that person, spoken with a negative slant. Coming to the conclusion that someone believes in eternal torment is one thing, but referring to them as an ET'er is judging them and putting them into a catagory that's disapproved of by Universalists. It's not really any different than calling Jehovah's Witnesses "JoHo's" or "Jovi's". They will take it just as personal as anyone else in an organized religion.I can say that I know for a fact that people who believe in an everlasting Hell have the same negative slant against people who believe in Universalism. They may not say much about it to your face (unless they're close friends or family) but they make fun of what Universalists believe, pick it apart and try to rationalize how come what they believe is 'more correct', just in the same way Universalists do with them.What matters in the end of it all is that when it comes down to it, we're ALL children of God and equally loved by Him... none more than another.

Nene Leakes Preparing To Leave RHOA, Wants A Talk Show
It looks as though Nene Leakes is slowly weening herself out of the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' franchise. Remember, she's 'Rich B-tch!'
While sitting down for a chat with the New York Post recently, she revealed that she will eventually have to back out of doing 'Reality TV' if she wants to be taken seriously as an actress in Hollywood. She also revealed that she would be open to do a 'Housewives' All-star edition with some of the other popular housewives like Bethanny Frankel, but her ultimate goal is to have a talk show. No Maury.
Peep some of the excerpts below:
On if she plans to leave RHOA
At some point I do. I love the acting world. So at some point. . . I can't continue to be a Housewife. At some point, I have to back out.
On whether being a 'Housewives' star makes her miss out on acting gigs
Probably. I don't know that for sure. Just the thought of me being a "Housewife," they would probably say "Hmmm. We may not want to use her." Just the whole persona of being a Housewife. The cattiness and the bitchiness and the fighting. People see you as that is who you are.
On whether she would love to do an All-star Housewives edition and who'd she liked to have on the show with her
I would probably do me, Bethenny, I like Jill Zarin even though she's not there. I think she is everything of New York City. Her accent and everything is just great. I would probably grab Gretchen [Rossi] from "Orange County," Teresa from "New Jersey," and we could work it out.
On wanting a talk show and what would be discussed on the show
I would keep it real for the whole hour! Whatever the topic is, I feel I could talk about anything. Politics, men, money, shoes . . . anything. I wouldn't want to do a 'Maury Povich' show. Baby daddy! Who's your daddy? Who's your mama? I wouldn't want to do that kind of show.
It's just a matter of time. I am here now, because I am supposed to be here. And I guess when it is my time to cross over there, I will be over there. I am not religious, but I am spiritual, honey. My day is coming!
Catch a few flicks of Nene at an Intouch Weekly Party, along with Jennifer Williams, 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's' Mimi and Arien in the Gallery.

days after Irene, I hit the goat track north; destination Waitsfield. Along the
way I came across a big shiny dump truck heading south. On the cab door it
read: Town of Warren. Thank you, Warren, you were like a lifeboat motoring
towards a sinking ship.
Plunkton Road was passable and for the next two weeks it became the lifeline between two valleys. I know your sleepy road was rattled by continual heavy trucks making their way south and fast cars desperate to go north. Thank you, Plunkton Road residents, for enduring the unexpected traffic -- and for staying intact!
Finding Waitsfield was finding an oasis. The grocery store was open, there was gasoline for the car and Three Mountain Cafe had coffee brewing and lunch not brought in by a Black Hawk helicopter. You even sent me south with dog food, thank you. It was over coffee that I learned of the Hurricane Relief Center at the Masonic Lodge. Walking through your doors was like walking into NASA on a launch day. The place was buzzing. Wonderful nurturing souls whisked me up and loaded me with information to carry back to Granville and Hancock. You filled my car with food and cleaning supplies for people in my valley.
While days seem to be counted in culverts and no longer on a calendar, I know you did this for me for at least the next 10 days, if not more. Through your kindness and generosity I carried your gifts door to door wherever I saw the need. I know some of you by name, Kate Williams, June Anderson, Theresa Langston, Erin Chase, Jean Hubbell, Eve Silverman; thank you. Thank you to all of the volunteers who trucked your gifts down this way and to those of you who have lent your equipment and muscles to help repair the White River Valley.
Lenord Robinson, many thanks to you for your dedication to the White River Golf Course; without your help, there has been little light. And to all of you in the Mad River Valley, in your own time of crisis, thank you for being able to look south.
This past Sunday, I ventured out to the river to take the dogs for a swim. For 20 years and three dogs, I have become intimate with one little beach. It wasn't there. The river had slightly changed course but yet was still as inviting as on any autumn day in the past. These are the rivers we love, the rivers we play in and sit lazily beside under the warm sun basking like lizards. We are all part of the history of the river. Pretty amazing place we call Vermont.

In this photograph of 1948, my mother and I are ice-skating together in Lenzeheide-Valbella, my native Swiss mountain village. This is the only image I have just with my mother alone.
On the skating field, one could hear waltz music played. You can see how my mother, who was an accomplished pianist, is leaning into the music, whereas I am a rather awkward 9-year-old. I remember the blue material used for our identical skirts as well as my mother's white skates and my brown ones taken over from my older sister.
We were five siblings and grew up with governesses. My mother helped my father in the Grand Hotel, which was "our home," especially during the war years. Later, my mother ended up with tuberculosis and had to spend many months in a sanatorium in Davos. As each of us finished elementary school in the only school of our small village, we would all be sent to boarding schools and would return home only for Christmas and summers.
All this resulted in very little time spent with my mother.
The joyous togetherness, as depicted in this photograph, is the most precious gift I received from my mother.
This compassionate human being, person of deep faith and an invincible spirit, most gracious and gentle lady, ever-so-patient mother has truly been my "Vorbild" (image to live after) and is always within me.

Style: JJ of the B variety--
Latham, New York (Capital District) - Bruno Tostes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Bruno is a purple belt under Renzo Gracie. He is an excellent instructor for beginners and experienced white or blue belts. I just watched him win the Purple Belt Absolute Division at Oct. 14th-15th: Grappler Quest & Copa Atlantica, submitting his final opponent who outweighed him by at least 50 pounds. He is not very big, but his technical abilities are mind-blowing and he regularly handles strong, athletic guys like they were 5 years old. He does not just supervise and teach, but he also participates and practices what he preaches. He will always be putting you to the test when you're on the mat with him.
The first class is absoultely free, but don't show up thinking it will be a walk in the park. You really need to be in good shape to last through the whole class. Just the cardio we do in the beginning of class is enough to send a lot of the wannabe's home packing.
A typical class can last anywhere from 2 - 3 hours and your gi will be completely soaked with sweat by the end of class. A typical class consists of the following:
1) Warm-up (about 30 minutes of cardio and basic drills)
2) Stand-up (Practice takedowns with a training partner followed by live sparring starting from stand-up)
3) Ground Technique Instruction (One or two techniques are demonstrated, then we practiced with a training partner)
4) Positional Training (Live training from various positions - example: guard, both defending guard and passing guard. If guard is passed or person on top is submitted or swept, start over again. Same pricniple applies to side-mount, mount, back mount, half mount, turtle...etc)
5) More live sparring (Usually starting from knees, but sometimes starting from stand-up)
*** Sometimes if class is exceptionally small, we will put one person in the middle of the floor (I will refer to him as Fighter). Fighter will spar with everybody and not get to rest until he has faced everyone. When the next person comes in, the previous person will not disengage Fighter until the next person has taken a dominant position on Fighter. Everybody gets a turn to be the Fighter.
Here are some of the PROs and CONs as I see them -
-Technique is taught, drilled, and supervised.
-There is absolutely no shortage of live training.
-The mats are tatami and the room is spacious since the classes never really get that crowded (mostly due to the fact that he only wants serious students and will not dumb down the classes for anyone)
-Holds classes in the morning and in the evenings to work around our schedules.
-Both instructor and students compete regularly.
-Occasional seminars taught by members of the Gracie family. (Students are also welcome to participate in seminars held at the Renzo Gracie Academy)
-You can work out a monthly fee which enables you to attend all available classes. There is no limit on the amount of classes you can attend. Currently, 2 classes are available on Tuesday, 2 classes are available on Thursday, 1 on Friday, and 1 on Saturday.
- No ranks above purple belt, so if you consider yourself to be highly experienced, this is not the place for you.
- No assistant instructor, so if Bruno is competing out of town or unable to teach, class is cancelled. Although sometimes a blue belt will step up and handle it.
- One of the available class times is on Saturday, starting at 12. Since we share space with an aikido group, we lose this time slot if they have a seminar. (Their seminars take place on Saturdays).
- Not much of a vareity in training partners because he is fairly new to the area and still getting established, but his student base is slowly growing. However, the guys you will be rolling with will definitely be putting you to the test (in a friendly/tough-loving manner of course) Due to the strenuous nature of the classes, most people who try a class never come back.
- If you are not athletic, you're going to have a painful time keeping up with the class while you get in shape. It will get easier, and there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. So if you are located in the Capital Region of NY or just visiting, come on down and try and free class.
Edit: 12/13/06 - Classes are now split into two one hour sessions. First session is for basics and drilling. The second session is for tournament fighters or people who just want a more strenuous workout.

Been a while since I wrote this review and the academy's student body has grown immensely. Bruno is doing this thing full time, so classes are available every day, morning and evening (except Sunday). All classes consist of some randori (live training), some more than others. No-gi sessions and MMA sessions are also on the schedule now.
Bruno has also been promoted to brown belt by Renzo Gracie.

Taken from a thread I started in the 'Martial Arts BS, Fraud...Standards' forum- just so y'all have another opinion before you sign anything w/ Bruno Tostes. Do with it what you will.
"... that Bruno Tostes BJJ is not a business you can deal with based on a handshake or any kind of verbal agreement."

At the time I wrote this review, the school was so small we were practically getting 1-1 tuition. I was also a complete noob, so some of my ratings could very well be off base
Recently, Bruno has been training Matt Hamill in BJJ in preparation for his fight with Rich Franklin and will be in his corner at UFC 88.
Although we are not training any world class athletes, we regularly hold seminars hosted by world class athletes.
Some recent seminars we have held hosted by world class atletes:
Romulo Barral
Rafael "Gordinho" Correa
Daniel Gracie
Augusto "Tio Chico" Vieira
Vinicius "Draculino" Magalhaes
I noticed there are some other members here who are who have been students here. I welcome them to make any edits to this post. Is there a way to allow access for other posters to do so?

The first is seeing Falcao running with Carles Puyol. Puyol was at maximum speed and Falcao still got a couple of metres ahead of him. He just looks unplayable and the goal he scored made it all the better.
Falcao wasn't helped by the team after half an hour. It wasn't because they didn't know what to do, because they knew that and showed it in the first 30 minutes. I spoke to Atletico midfielder Mario Suarez and the plan was to leave the wings to Barcelona so they had to attack down the flanks, which isn't their favourite way.
But when Atletico were playing better Adriano scored out of nowhere. That's the difference from last season - or one of them - that when the team is not performing there is somebody who comes up with something. In this case it was Adriano, who has become the second best goalscorer in La Liga after Lionel Messi. He's having a fantastic season.
After the Sergio Busquets goal there was no coming back because Barcelona kept the ball and Atletico couldn't get it back off them. Busquets was outstanding - more on him below - and this Barca team keeps breaking records.
I spoke to Xavi and after a poor start to the season they feel completely fit and sharp physically. It's just a shame for them there's no more league or Champions League games now until after Christmas because they feel in a position to beat anybody at the moment.
My second big memory from the night will be Messi. I saw confirmation - as if it's needed - that he puts the ball where it has to go, not where it can go. He puts it in gaps where it will go in, not just to see if it goes in.
Meanwhile, I was also celebrating Espanyol's 2-2 draw at Real Madrid. The Real fans weren't celebrating though - they're seeing the consequences of a divided team. As Pako Ayesteran was told after the Celta Vigo game, the Real players don't know what's going on.
The methodology of Jose Mourinho is so demanding and exhausting he needs to recycle the players a bit earlier than anybody else. You could see him stay a long time at a club if he gets players sold every two or three years - but he won't be able to do that at Real because that would mean getting rid of Iker Casillas or Sergio Ramos and Real president Florentino Perez doesn't feel Mourinho is popular enough to hand those heads to Mourinho.
Mourinho has said it is 'practically impossible' to win the league but the chairman said 'we never give up' - he feels strong enough to contradict the manager, which is interesting.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it firstname.lastname@example.com or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Hi Guillem, What is the view of Sergio Busquets in Spain? Is he held in high regard or do some people believe he is overrated and a bit too controversial? Thanks, Sam Richardson (Tottenham fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: Sergio Busquets is seen as the best central midfielder in the world - and nobody in Spain will argue with that. Some Real fans may say he's too controversial sometimes but in the way he plays nobody plays better in that position, nobody in the world. Nobody plays in front of the back four, starts attacks and fills gaps like him.
Hola Guillem, Who do you see being the long-term central-defensive partner of Gerard Pique at Barcelona once Carles Puyol retires? Thanks, David Stockton (Man United fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: I don't think they have a long-term replacement at the club. Marc Bartra is more like Pique and I don't think they have another centre back of that stature so they will need to buy to strengthen.
What positions do Valencia need to strengthen to move up the league table and push for a European spot? Thanks, Marcus Smith (Arsenal fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: Central midfield is a problem. David Albelda can not play three games in a week but he settles the team. Certainly Tino Costa and Ever Banega don't work consistently enough but I think it is more that the changing room is full of players who don't care enough for Valencia.
Hi Guillem, You often speak about Marcelo Bielsa on Revista. Do you think his position at Athletic Bilbao is becoming untenable and who do the club see as a potential replacement? Cheers, George Marquez (Real Zaragoza fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: It's clear a lot of problems are to do with Bielsa. It is not only about Llorente playing or not. Aduriz is having a great season, he's scored 13 goals and Llorente only scored nine at this stage last season. The problem is the central midfield isn't settled, they lose lots of balls, they try to do everything at high speed like they did last season, without being so effective. He may stay until the end of the season but I don't think he'll stay any longer.
Who do you think the best young goalkeeper in Spain is? Surely it has to be Thibaut Courtois? Thanks, Ben Marshall (Man City fan)
GUILLEM SAYS: The problem is there are so many good goalkeepers in Spain, including Roberto, Thibaut Courtois and Kiko Casillas at Espanyol, who played against Real Madrid and is a good goalkeeper.

Things I liked:This gun is accurate, easy to shoot, and quiet enough that it won't disturb the neighbors. So far is has shot all the pellets I've tried with good accuracy, some just slightly better than others.
Things I would have changed:Double cocking the gun could result in damage. It would be nice if that wasn't a concern. If you aren't sure you cocked it it's safer to put a pellet in and pull the trigger than to double pump.
What others should know:For target shooting indoors or out this makes a fantastic first air rifle to own. The stock is easy to adjust, and you'll never have to wonder if the gun is accurate. I started with some cheaper "starter" guns and wish I'd saved my money and bought this one the first time. I put a UTG scope on top and the shooting experience is top notch.
Hpw quiet is it ? as quiet as the 717 pistol ? Thank you, pete
I might suggest that you try to develop the habit of pulling the bolt open before you pump the cylinder. That way, whenever the bolt probe is visible, you know the gun is pumped, waiting for the pellet and is ready to fire.
Things I liked:I bought two of these for my 9 and 11 year old daughters to shoot 10 meter. They are consistently in the top of their class. The guns are very accurate. They are a little hard for them to cock but they are getting used to it. The sights are good for 10 meter, and the sling is adequate. Overall they are good guns. Though smallbore rifles would be cheaper to purchase, try finding ammo for those right now.
Things I liked:Just about everything! It's a perfect rifle to shoot at 10m indoors.
Things I would have changed:I'm might have to tweak the trigger after it's all broken in. So far it's still stiff and creepy, but off a rest @ 10m it will shoot 1/4" groups.
What others should know:The rifle is not hold sensitive like a lot of springers. There's no co2 cartridges to deal with. Obviously there's none of the filling hassles of a pcp. You don't need an airgun rated scope if you decide to put glass on it. I'm currently running a Simmons 22 Mag 3x9x32AO from an old rimfire I had sitting around, and it's perfect! I was looking at several other models and the CS rep @ PA said for what I do, the Avanti 853 would be perfect. He was right. I'm really happy with my purchase from PA.

Leeds Masters Scholarships Scheme for UK/EU students
Biodiversity and Conservation
The MSc and MRes courses at Leeds are designed to prepare recent graduates for a PhD programme or to begin a career in conservation. For established conservation professionals our modules provide additional skills to support them in their work. An increasing number of students treat the MSc as a conversion course, after having taken degrees in non-biological subjects.
The biodiversity masters degrees offer a wide range of options allowing for personalised courses of study that lay the groundwork for further academic work and/or professional development in the field. We aim to provide our graduates with:
- An understanding of the biological principles and institutional framework underlying biodiversity and its conservation
- A core body of analytical and practical skills required to operate effectively in an academic or professional career
- The ability to identify plants and animals
- Experience in biodiversity and/or conservation-related research
MSc or MRes – what's the difference?
In a nutshell, MRes students have fewer taught modules, but carry out two major research project assignments rather than one. Most students taking the MRes are planning to probably go on to do a PhD or have an MSc degree already. Many of our MSc graduates also subsequently do PhDs, but initially prefer to widen their skills base through the additional taught elements that are available.
Part time or full time?
The programmes fill a full year, from September to September. Part time options are also available, over two years.
What are the career prospects?
For most of our students this is the 'bottom line'. Our graduates have gone on to a very varied range of biodiversity and conservation jobs and careers around the world. There is intense competition for posts in conservation-related areas in the UK. A masters degree improves your chances, and our graduates have a good track record of finding employment. Potential employers usually look for academic qualifications in combination with practical experience, so voluntary work in combination with academic qualifications is often required. See the biodiversity and conservation careers section for details of our extensive links with the sector and graduate case studies.
Overseas students
The majority of our participants are from the UK, but we strongly encourage overseas applications. Each year we are very pleased to receive students from a variety of countries, both in the EU and beyond. Our experience is that they bring a fresh perspective to issues relevant to the course, and many have useful or even unique knowledge and skills.
Many overseas students already have positions in nature conservation and their time in Leeds not only benefits themselves, but also everyone else, because they bring skills, experience and background that are quite distinct from those brought by British students. For example, past overseas students have experience of managing hundreds of square miles of forest, have been involved in reducing the impact of elephants on agriculture, and have been authorities in Mediterranean turtle conservation.
Many of the Biodiversity and Conservation Masters research projects take place overseas. It is often possible for fieldwork to be conducted in the country of origin of the project student, if so desired.
Frequently asked questions
Hopefully you will find all the information you need by browsing the tabs above and taking a look at the recent student and graduate profiles. If you still have a question we haven't covered, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions team.
Why choose to study biodiversity at Leeds?
The University of Leeds has twice been recognised by the European Union as a "Centre of Excellence" for biodiversity and conservation training . We believe biodiversity can only be managed and conserved when it can be measured and interpreted properly. Our postgraduate biodiversity and conservation courses are distinct from similar courses offered in the UK in their concentration on the biological principles underlying biodiversity, its assessment and management.
These biodiversity Masters courses offer:
- the opportunity to combine academic topics with 'hands-on' practical conservation
- exciting contemporary research-led topics such as population dynamics and conservation genetics, together with options for highly practical training in areas such GIS, bat biology and plant identification.
- an unusually wide choice of options
- the option to study for an MSc or MRes
- opportunities to study full time, or part time over 2 years
- teaching delivered by an internationally respected, enthusiastic and innovative team of ecologists and biologists, including members of the Earth and Biosphere Institute
- opportunities to work on contemporary issues with leading researchers during your research project, often overseas
- selected modules with elements taught by external partners such as Natural England and the Environment Agency
- field courses in African Ecology and Mediterranean Ecology
- conservation internships ('sandwich year') allow students to gain credits for relevant work
- an unrivalled location for study sites: the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, North York Moors and Peak District National Park are all close by
- Leeds University Farm facilities for projects and fieldwork
- excellent career prospects
- high student satisfaction
- practical sessions in first-class purpose-built teaching labs
- the chance to study in a Faculty ranked 4th in the UK for research in biological sciences by the leading scientific journal 'Nature' based on the numbers of staff producing research that was "world leading" or "internationally excellent
- all the facilities and lifestyle opportunities of a major international university

Course Structure
Students may study for an MSc or MRes. It is possible to study on either a full or part-time basis. Teaching methods include project work, field courses, lectures, practicals, tutorials and workshops. Compared with undergraduate degrees, more of the work is carried out in teams. Typically between 40 and 50 students enrol each year, with about 25% taking the MRes degree. The course lasts 12 months, with activity broken into three parts:
- September-December (teaching semester 1)
- January -May (teaching semester 2)
- May-September (exclusively project period)
MSc or MRes – what's the difference?
In a nutshell, MRes students have fewer taught modules, but carry out two major research projects rather than one. Most students taking the MRes are planning to probably go on to do a PhD or have an MSc degree already. Many of our MSc graduates also subsequently do PhDs, but initially prefer to widen their skills base through the additional taught elements that are available.
Research Projects
The research component is one of the most important and potentially fulfilling parts of the degree. Projects cover a wide range of topics and usually include around six to eight weeks of practical work. A significant number of students are based overseas for their project. More research project information and interactive world map showing some of the locations.
Modular Structure
Both the MSc and MRes are modular; the course consists of a large number of optional modules and a few compulsory ones (these few emphasize our belief in the importance of original research projects). Students may add any combination of optional modules to the compulsory modules to make a total of 180 credits. This flexibility allows students to personalise their area of study. Module descriptions are given below.
Which modules should I chose?
Getting optional module choices correct is extremely important. Ask yourself which combination of skills will be most helpful in your future career. If reserve management is where you see yourself then (along with being able to drive a car) having a chain saw licence, and the ability to use GIS and identify plants should be at the top of your list. If research on birds is your target, then bird census techniques, population dynamics and advanced statistics may be high priority.
Is the course mainly practical or theoretical?
Both, depending on the options that are chosen. Modules range from being largely field or laboratory based through to more traditional style modules with lectures and practicals.
How is work examined?
Mainly through assessment of written, oral and practical work. Some options from elsewhere in the university do have formal examinations.
Are there different classes of degrees?
Degrees can be awarded with merit (for average scores above 60%) and with distinction (for average scores above 70%).
Both Masters in biodiversity and conservation have been designed specifically for postgraduate students and all modules delivered by the Faculty of Biological Sciences are for Masters students only. There are no mixed undergraduate/postgraduate modules except occasionally for optional modules delivered by other departments within the University.

|Additional Costs
Conservation Skills Options
In some cases there may be an additional charge for conservation skills options run by external providers.
|Mediterranean Ecology Field Course Option
|There will be an additional charge for those selecting to study the Mediterranean field course module.
The academic fee covers tuition and exam costs as well as membership of the students' union. International students will pay a higher fee than UK students as the fees for UK and European Union (EU) students are subsidised by the UK government, but international students can get get financial help from our international scholarships. Also see our Biological Sciences International Scholarships.
Part-Time Option
Biodiversity and Conservation programmes are available part-time, making it a two year course. The cost of the part-time programme per year is half that of the full-time programme per year.
Tuition fee deposit
If you require a visa to study in the UK you will be required to pay a tuition fee deposit before being issued with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). The tuition fee deposit will be deducted from your programme tuition fee and shown on your CAS. For more information on our fee deposit please see www.leeds.ac.uk/pgfeesguidance.
Financial help
The majority of our students are self-funded, or funded by their employer or national government. However, several additional sources provide either fully-funded or part-funded scholarships, both for UK and for overseas applicants. Postgraduate scholarships are available to international, UK and EU students and you may be eligible.
If you are experiencing severe hardship you could get help with your living expenses from the access to learning fund, after you have applied for all other available means of support.
When to pay
Fees must be paid in full before you can register as a postgraduate student, unless you will be paying for yourself. If you are self-supporting you can pay fees in two instalments, the first payable at registration.
If you are supported by your government, employer, or other sponsor, you should provide a letter from them addressed to the University, confirming that the fees will be paid directly. Sponsors cannot pay by instalments.
The information provided is for general guidance purposes only. The University believes the information provided is accurate at the time of publication. The University cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies.
Field Courses
We see great value in the learning opportunities offered by practical field courses and offer two optional field courses as part of the course. Both courses run in the Easter vacation and, along with the research project, are often one of the highlights of the programme for many students. As both courses run at Easter students choose just one of the two locations.

Not only are field courses highly enjoyable, but participants benefit from:
- Applying university-learnt techniques in real life situations
- Individual and team working
- High staff /student ratios
- Tutor support on location
- First-hand experience of collecting and analysing data
- Opportunies to develop individual research skills
- Skills development valued by employers after graduation
- A chance to get to know staff and fellow students even better
We know that the subject knowledge and training we provide is excellent, but we are also trying to produce well-rounded graduates who have the skills, experience and confidence to succeed in a challenging job market. Transferable skills are a key component of our degrees, opening up diverse opportunities for our graduates. A significant proportion of both MSc and MRes graduates go onto to study for a PhD. There is intense competition for posts in conservation-related areas in the UK (and probably everywhere). A Masters degree improves your chances, but is no guarantee. Potential employers look for academic qualifications in combination with practical experience — so voluntary work is very important.
The course has strong links with Natural England, which provides staff to teach on certain modules. We also have strong ties with commercial ecological consultancies locally and nationally, providing students for us to train as well as recruiting graduates. All of the following organisations have recruited employees from our biodiversity and conservation Masters:
- Arkive: a global initiative, gathering together into one centralised digital library, films, photographs and audio recordings of the world's species.
- Natural England is a government agency which champions the conservation of wildlife, geology and wild places in England. Its aim " is to create a better natural environment that covers all of our urban, country and coastal landscapes, along with all of the animals, plants and other organisms that live with us."
- The Environment Agency is the leading public body for protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales.
- The National Trust works to preserve and protect the coastline, countryside and buildings of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- The Society for Environmental Exploration (SEE) was established in 1989 as a non-profit conservation non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Since its inception, SEE has hosted a myriad of global conservation projects under the banner name of Frontier.
- URS is an international consultancy providing a comprehensive range of integrated planning, management and environmental services in the built and natural environments throughout the world.

A graduation bonus for our students
The Graduate School is an institutional member of the Tropical Biology Association. This means that the TBA reserves at least one place on their excellent field courses (in places such as Madagascar, Tanzania and Uganda) for our Biodiversity & Conservation graduates. The places are not free, but offer great training for anyone interested in tropical ecology.
Careers support and personal development
University of Leeds Careers Centre
The University of Leeds has its own specialist University Careers Centre to help students. In 2007 around 450 employers and over 13,000 students took part in the Career Centre's varied programme of events. The Centre can help students to:
- plan what to do after university
- attend careers fairs and employer presentations
- write a CV
- improve job applications
- look for work experience
- find vacancies
The University's recent "employer review" score was a magnificent 99 out of 100. (World University League Tables November 2009).
Alumni Mentoring Network
Registered students have access to our Alumni Mentoring network. Networking is one of the most effective ways to find out more about different career opportunities. In an increasingly competitive employment market it is vital to be well-informed and there really is no substitute for talking to people who have first hand experience of the work that interests you. Leeds Alumni Mentoring Network gives students the chance to make contact with Leeds alumni (graduates) to explore career options, gain tips on entry into specific careers and receive supportive advice on developing your career plans.
Leeds for Life
Our Leeds for Life scheme helps all students to recognise and develop the qualities they are gaining from the whole of their University of Leeds experience - both from their course and the huge range of co-curricular opportunities on offer. We want Leeds students to go out into the world and make a difference, in whatever field they choose. We believe that the research-led education at Leeds gives our students the confidence and skills to do just that.

Aggressive signal crayfish are threatening Yorkshire's native white-clawed crayfish populations due to better parasite resistance and a less fussy diet. The native crayfish suffers from two parasites; plague, which is carried by the American invader, as well as porcelain disease which makes the native crayfish sluggish and suppresses their appetite before eventually killing them a few years later.
Dr Alison Dunn, of the Faculty of Biological Sciences, at the University of Leeds, who led the study, explains: "The signals eat much more compared with the native crayfish. But the situation is exacerbated by a parasite which essentially changes the native's behaviour - the white-clawed crayfish can't eat or handle as much food as the signal, because the parasite weakens its muscles."

Leeds graduates rediscover rat thought to be extinct
The red-crested tree rat (Santamartamys rufodorsalis) was thought to be extinct, having not been sighted since 1898 despite search attempts, until it appeared at the El Dorado Nature Reserve in Columbia earlier this year. The rodent was spotted by Leeds graduates Lizzie Noble and Simon McKeown, voluntary researchers at the reserve with conservation charity ProAves. Lizzie and Simon completed their Biodiversity and Conservation masters degrees last year and are now working with ProAves at the nature reserve, monitoring endangered amphibians.
This rare breed of tree rat appeared at the reserve near where Lizzie was sitting, and stayed around to be photographed before heading back into the forest. The red-crested tree rat was known only from two specimens dating back from 1898, and can be identified by its black and white tail.
Although the reserve is listed as an Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) site, there are fears that the recently rediscovered mammal could be under threat from feral cats present in much of what remains of the tree rat's potential range.
This discovery highlights the importance of such conservation areas, and researchers remain hopeful that further discoveries could be made at the El Dorado reserve.

MAN — A crash between a Logan volunteer fire truck and a car sent at least four people to the hospital early Tuesday morning.
The accident happened about 7 a.m. Tuesday at the intersection of W.Va. 10 and Buffalo Creek Road near Man.
According to reports, a firefighter was treated and released, but a female and juvenile in the car were admitted with severe injuries. No information on the fourth person in the car is available.
Icy roads may have been the cause of the accident, but Man Police Chief Dave Walls said his investigation is still underway. Chief Walls expects to have more information and the cause of the accident available within the next couple of days.

Hilary Duff's Amazing Post-Baby Weight Loss: What Size Is She Now?
Bring on the skinny jeans! Hilary Duff has been working out like a champ ever since giving birth to son Luca on March 20, and now she's ready to slip into something a little less comfortable than yoga pants.
Back in early June, Hilary told Us Weekly she wasn't going overboard with her quest to shed the extra pounds. "I think if you ask any pregnant mom, they're like, 'I want my body back,'" she said. "But it takes time. [...] I'm breastfeeding, so you have to be careful and not do anything too drastic."
Eight months of shadow boxing, pilates, piloxing, and yoga later, and 5-foot-2 Hilary is back to her fighting weight. The 25-year-old star tweeted a photo of size 26 skinny jeans on November 29, writing, "Yaaaa bitches! @gabejohns your kickin my ass and its paying off! Skinny jeans! LETS GO!"

Georgetown police say they have one suspect in custody who allegedly helped rob two businesses in the city Sunday.
Police Capt. Nelson Brown says 23-year-old Josh Lamar Green of Old Collins Creek Road in McClellanville was arrested at his home Monday morning with the help of the Charleston County Sheriff's Office Swat Team.
Brown said the Scotchman located at 320 North Hazard Street and the Dollar General located at 1936 South Fraser Street in Maryville were both robbed in less than ten minutes.
The Scotchman robbery occurred at 9:45 PM and the Dollar General at 9:54 PM.
A female Scotchman clerk said she was at the back of the store cleaning the coffee area when the two men walked in and presented a semi automatic handgun and told her to get them the money from the cash register, according to an incident report.
The woman walked over to the register and handed them an undetermined amount of money consisting of mainly $1 and $5 bills.
They then told her to open the safe. When she told them she did not have access to the safe, they ran out of the store towards Piggly Wiggly.
Officers were just getting the investigation into the robbery started when they were notified of the robbery at the Maryville Dollar General.
There were two females working in the store at the time. One was working the cash register. She told police she saw a silver Toyota Camry drive up but about 30 seconds later, the driver backed up and left the parking lot. About two minutes later, two men — fitting the description of the Scotchman robbery – walked in the store.
When the worker who had been in the back of the store saw the men had a gun, she ran to an office and called 911.
The cashier said the men demanded money and had the gun pointed in her direction. She took the drawer out of the register and placed it on the counter. One of the men told her to take the cash out the drawer. She said she could not do that but he could take it out if he wanted it.
The woman said she could hear one of the suspects messing with the gun. She said it sounded like he was loading it.
After grabbing some cash, the men ran out the door.
One of the women said they recognized the car and told police it belongs to Green or his family. She said when the men walked in the store Green did not have his face covered but quickly covered it when he saw her.
The second suspect has not been identified.
The investigation continues and the Georgetown Police Department is asking anyone with information about these cases to please call the Department at 843-545-4300 and ask for Sgt. Jason Ward or call the Tip line at 843-545-4400.
