Political ScienceThe Study of Political Science
Political science is the study of governments and their interactions with one another. It investigates the effects of groups, individuals, and institutions on the government, as well as the effect of the government on these same actors. Many in political science examine the politics of the United States, looking at issues such as the Constitution, the relation between the federal government and local governments, or particular policies including welfare and education. Others study similar issues but in different countries. Still others focus on relations between countries, examining issues of war, cooperation, and trade, among others.
Internships. The department strongly recommends students combine their classroom learning with related professional experience. Opportunities include internships through American University's Washington Semester Program in Washington, D.C., and the Drew University United Nations Semester. The university also participates in other off-campus study-internship programs, such as the Lutheran College program in Washington, D.C. The department also works with students to develop individual internships. These have included opportunities with state and national legislators, district attorneys, Legal Services, and justices. Further information on other internships is available in the Active Learning section.
Off-Campus Study. All students are encouraged to study off campus, whether they choose to study abroad or participate in an internship. Recently, students have studied in Australia, Austria, and the United Kingdom, among other locations. Others have participated in university-sponsored field opportunities in China and Costa Rica. A number of students intern, combining academics with practical experience. American University's Washington Semester Program has a number of fields in which students may specialize, including American government, foreign policy, conflict resolution, and justice. Further information on off-campus study is available in the Active Learning section.
Secondary Teaching Certification. Majors interested in social studies or citizenship education teaching certification take 40 hours in political science, including the required courses. Instead of eight hours in one subfield, they take one additional four-hour course in each of three subfields: American Government and Politics; Comparative Government and Politics; and International Politics. The remaining courses are electives within the major. Students must also take cognate courses in related disciplines and meet additional Department of Education requirements. There are also additional Department of Education requirements. Student teaching serves as an internship.
Interdisciplinary options. Political science majors can easily complete a minor in other departments. Others opt to take a second major. Many choose a related field, such as a foreign language, economics, sociology, or business. A legal studies minor is a popular choice for those considering a career in the law. International studies, also an interdisciplinary program, is another option as a minor or second major.
Honors. The departmental honors program encourages and commends outstanding academic work in political science. To graduate with departmental honors, political science majors must:
- maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the department and 3.25 overall,
- request admission to the program at the beginning of their senior seminar, and
- complete, and publicly present and defend, an honors-quality project in the spring of their senior year.
Pi Sigma Alpha. Students who satisfy membership requirements may be invited to join the campus chapter of this national honor society in political science.

An anti-bullying allegory writ on the largest possible scale, "Ender's Game" frames an interstellar battle between mankind and pushy ant-like aliens, called Formics, in which Earth's fate hinges on a tiny group of military cadets, most of whom haven't even hit puberty yet.
Movie review
3 1/2 (out of five stars)
Director: Gavin Hood
Cast: Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis
Rated: PG-13 for some violence, sci-fi action and thematic material
Running time: 1 hour, 54 minutes
At face value, the film presents an electrifying star-wars scenario while at the same time managing to deliver a higher pedagogical message about tolerance, empathy and coping under pressure.
Against considerable odds, this Orson Scott Card adaptation actually works, as director Gavin Hood pulls off the sort of teen-targeted franchise starter Summit was hoping for.
Card's novel assumes a situation where, in the wake of a massive Formic attack, the world's children are somehow best suited to protect their planet from an imminent second strike.
The most promising young recruits train on elaborate videogame-like simulators while a pair of officers, Col. Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis), monitor their techniques in search of a child with the instincts to save his species.
The leading candidate is Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a runt-like outsider whose behavior toward his aggressive classmates reveals his true potential.
Like "The Hunger Games," the pic peddles the unseemly idea of watching kids thrust into life-and-death situations.
Between the officers, Graff's agenda is more complicated than he lets on, while Anderson represents the voice of reason.
Butterfield, who has grown into his big blue eyes, if not the rest of his body, since "Hugo," makes ideal casting for Ender: He's scrawny and physically unimposing, yet there's an intensity to his stare that suggests he might indeed be masking deeper (or darker) gifts.
It's nothing so powerful as the Force, or Neo's Matrix-bending abilities, though "Ender's Game" dedicates nearly its entire run time to Battle School, where our hero and his fellow recruits practice various drills, including an anti-gravity game that looks like the next best thing to Quidditch.
"Ender's Game" manages to make these training sequences compelling without veering into pro-military propaganda, doing so by focusing on the interpersonal dynamics between the various squad members.
Ben Kingsley pops up for a late cameo, sporting an elaborate Maori tribal tattoo on his face.
It might not seem fair to compare what Hood has created to someone as visionary in all things sci-fi as George Lucas, and yet, considering the sizable budget expended on "Ender's Game," one could have hoped for something a bit more groundbreaking.

Waylon Earl Goodson, 27, was arrested June 10 and charged with involuntary manslaughter. Capt. Earl Humphries of the Jones County Sheriff's Department said the charge is felony grade.
Humphries said Goodson turned himself in the day of his arrest and was released on a $20,000 bond. He said the charges stem back to the original incident.
"We have found nothing to indicate the shooting was premeditated. We don't believe it was intentional, but the circumstances as described show negligence on the part of Goodson at best," the captain said.
Humphries said Goodson told him he was lining up the cylinder of the revolver.
"The cylinder was not full, and he rotated it to a live round. Mr. Goodson said the hammer slipped out of his hand, and the gun went off," the captain stated. "He pointed a loaded gun at the victim. That's one thing you just don't do."

University of San Francisco alumna Valerie Ziegler, MA '04, teaches high school students to be historical investigators, asking questions and using original documents and sources, often in place of textbooks, to ferret out the truth about the past.
Her students learn crosschecking, sourcing, and analyzing the context of history, rather than rote memorization. In class, Ziegler's students tackle questions such as whether the New Deal was a success or whether the image of the 1950s happy housewife is accurate, providing historical support for their conclusions.
In November, Ziegler was among five teachers, the only one in Northern California, to be named 2010 Teacher of the Year by California Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell. O'Connell visited San Francisco Unified School District's Lincoln High School, where Ziegler teaches U.S. government, history, and economics, to personally make the announcement and congratulate her.
Ziegler, who received her degree in educational technology and holds both single and multiple subject teaching credentials, is the first teacher from SFUSD to receive the prestigious statewide award.
John Bansavich, USF director of learning technologies and instruction, and one of Ziegler's former instructors, remembers her as an excellent student.
Lincoln High students praised Ziegler's approach as interesting and inspiring. As part of Stanford University's history education program, Reading Like a Historian, Ziegler is known for taking her students out of the classroom and fostering engagement by having them interpret primary sources of history.
On the technology side, Ziegler incorporates flip video cameras for student interviews and a Smart whiteboard, which allows users to digitally write and erase like a chalkboard but which also incorporates computer capabilities such as drag and drop and video viewing. Ziegler's students also benefit from a classroom set of laptop computers.
"I have had students use laptops to create newsletters from the depression era camps, play an online simulation to solve the national debt problem, and create résumés," Ziegler said.

(USSN) are listed alongside the Australian applications from which the U.S. patent applications claim the right of priority.
Not applicable.
The present invention relates to the field of inkjet printing and, in particular, discloses an inverted radial back-curling thermoelastic ink jet printing mechanism.
Many different types of printing mechanisms have been invented, a large number of which are presently in use. The known forms of printers have a variety of methods for marking the print media with a relevant marking media. Commonly used forms of printing include offset printing, laser printing and copying devices, dot matrix type impact printers, thermal paper printers, film recorders, thermal wax printers, dye sublimation printers and ink jet printers both of the drop on demand and continuous flow type. Each type of printer has its own advantages and problems when considering cost, speed, quality, reliability, simplicity of construction and operation etc.
In recent years the field of ink jet printing, wherein each individual pixel of ink is derived from one or more ink nozzles, has become increasingly popular primarily due to its inexpensive and versatile nature.
Many different techniques of ink jet printing have been invented. For a survey of the field, reference is made to an article by J Moore, "Non-Impact Printing: Introduction and Historical Perspective", Output Hard Copy Devices, Editors R Dubeck and S Sherr, pages 207-220 (1988).
Ink Jet printers themselves come in many different forms. The utilization of a continuous stream of ink in ink jet printing appears to date back to at least 1929 wherein U.S. Pat. No. 1,941,001 by Hansell discloses a simple form of continuous stream electro-static ink jet printing.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,596,275 by Sweet also discloses a process of a continuous ink jet printing including a step wherein the ink jet stream is modulated by a high frequency electro-static field so as to cause drop separation. This technique is still utilized by several manufacturers including Elmjet and Scitex (see also U.S. Pat. No. 3,373,437 by Sweet et al).
Piezoelectric ink jet printers are also one form of commonly utilized ink jet printing device. Piezoelectric systems are disclosed by Kyser et. al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,946,398 (1970) which utilizes a diaphragm mode of operation, by Zolten in U.S. Pat. No. 3,683,212 (1970) which discloses a squeeze mode form of operation of a piezoelectric crystal, Stemme in U.S. Pat. No. 3,747,120 (1972) which discloses a bend mode of piezoelectric operation, Howkins in U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,601 which discloses a piezoelectric push mode actuation of the ink jet stream and Fischbeck in U.S. Pat. No. 4,584,590 which discloses a shear mode type of piezoelectric transducer element.
Recently, thermal ink jet printing has become an extremely popular form of ink jet printing. The ink jet printing techniques include those disclosed by Endo et al in GB 2007162 (1979) and Vaught et al in U.S. Pat. No. 4,490,728. Both the aforementioned references disclose ink jet printing techniques which rely on the activation of an electrothermal actuator which results in the creation of a bubble in a constricted space, such as a nozzle, which thereby causes the ejection of ink from an aperture connected to the confined space onto a relevant print media. Printing devices utilizing the electro-thermal actuator are manufactured by manufacturers such as Canon and Hewlett Packard.
As can be seen from the foregoing, many different types of printing technologies are available. Ideally, a printing technology should have a number of desirable attributes. These include inexpensive construction and operation, high speed operation, safe and continuous long term operation etc. Each technology may have its own advantages and disadvantages in the areas of cost, speed, quality, reliability, power usage, simplicity of construction and operation, durability and consumables.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an inkjet printhead for printing on a media substrate, the printhead comprising:
a wafer substrate defining a plurality of nozzle chambers for storing ink to be ejected, each of the nozzle chambers having an outer wall that faces the media substrate during use, the wall having an ink ejection port and at least one actuator for moving the ink ejection port away from the media substrate to eject ink from the corresponding nozzle chamber via the ink ejection port.
By incorporating one or more actuators into the outer wall so that the ejection port can be depressed into the nozzle chamber, there are no ejection actuators in the interior of the chamber to impede ink refill. Furthermore, as the outer wall returns to its quiescent configuration after ejection, it draws ink into the chamber as well as the surface tension of the meniscus at the port.
Preferably there is a plurality of actuators in the wall.
The actuators can include a surface which bends inwards away from the centre of the nozzle chamber upon actuation. The actuators are preferably actuated by means of a thermal actuator device. The thermal actuator device may comprise a conductive resistive heating element encased within a material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The element can be serpentine to allow for substantially unhindered expansion of the material. The actuators are preferably arranged radially around the nozzle rim.
The actuators can form a membrane between the nozzle chamber and an external atmosphere of the arrangement and the actuators bend away from the external atmosphere to cause an increase in pressure within the nozzle chamber thereby initiating a consequential ejection of ink from the nozzle chamber. The actuators can bend away from a central axis of the nozzle chamber.
The nozzle arrangement can be formed on the wafer substrate utilizing micro-electro mechanical techniques and further can comprise an ink supply channel in communication with the nozzle chamber. The ink supply channel may be etched through the wafer. The nozzle arrangement may include a series of struts which support the nozzle rim.
The arrangement can be formed adjacent to neighbouring arrangements so as to form a pagewidth printhead.
Notwithstanding any other forms which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
In the preferred embodiment, ink is ejected out of a nozzle chamber via an ink ejection port using a series of radially positioned thermal actuator devices that are arranged about the ink ejection port and are activated to pressurize the ink within the nozzle chamber thereby causing the ejection of ink through the ejection port.
Turning now to
A top of the nozzle arrangement 1 includes a series of radially positioned actuators 8, 9. These actuators comprise a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer and an internal serpentine copper core 17. Upon heating of the copper core 17, the surrounding PTFE expands rapidly resulting in a generally downward movement of the actuators 8, 9. Hence, when it is desired to eject ink from the ink ejection port 4, a current is passed through the actuators 8, 9 which results in them bending generally downwards as illustrated in
The actuators 8, 9 are activated only briefly and subsequently deactivated. Consequently, the situation is as illustrated in

In this manner, large pagewidth printheads can be fabricated so as to provide for a drop-on-demand ink ejection mechanism.
One form of detailed manufacturing process which can be used to fabricate monolithic ink jet printheads operating in accordance with the principles taught by the present embodiment can proceed utilizing the following steps:
1. Using a double-sided polished wafer 60, complete a 0.5 micron, one poly, 2 metal CMOS process 61. This step is shown in
2. Etch the CMOS oxide layers down to silicon or second level metal using Mask 1. This mask defines the nozzle cavity and the edge of the chips. This step is shown in
3. Deposit a thin layer (not shown) of a hydrophilic polymer, and treat the surface of this polymer for PTFE adherence.
4. Deposit 1.5 microns of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 62.
5. Etch the PTFE and CMOS oxide layers to second level metal using Mask 2. This mask defines the contact vias for the heater electrodes. This step is shown in
6. Deposit and pattern 0.5 microns of gold 63 using a lift-off process using Mask 3. This mask defines the heater pattern. This step is shown in
7. Deposit 1.5 microns of PTFE 64.
8. Etch 1 micron of PTFE using Mask 4. This mask defines the nozzle rim 65 and the rim at the edge 66 of the nozzle chamber. This step is shown in
9. Etch both layers of PTFE and the thin hydrophilic layer down to silicon using Mask 5. This mask defines a gap 67 at inner edges of the actuators, and the edge of the chips. It also forms the mask for a subsequent crystallographic etch. This step is shown in
10. Crystallographically etch the exposed silicon using KOH. This etch stops on <111> crystallographic planes 68, forming an inverted square pyramid with sidewall angles of 54.74 degrees. This step is shown in
11. Back-etch through the silicon wafer (with, for example, an ASE Advanced Silicon Etcher from Surface Technology Systems) using Mask 6. This mask defines the ink inlets 69 which are etched through the wafer. The wafer is also diced by this etch. This step is shown in
12. Mount the printheads in their packaging, which may be a molded plastic former incorporating ink channels which supply the appropriate color ink to the ink inlets 69 at the back of the wafer.
13. Connect the printheads to their interconnect systems. For a low profile connection with minimum disruption of airflow, TAB may be used. Wire bonding may also be used if the printer is to be operated with sufficient clearance to the paper.
14. Fill the completed print heads with ink 70 and test them. A filled nozzle is shown in
The presently disclosed ink jet printing technology is potentially suited to a wide range of printing systems including: color and monochrome office printers, short run digital printers, high speed digital printers, offset press supplemental printers, low cost scanning printers high speed pagewidth printers, notebook computers with inbuilt pagewidth printers, portable color and monochrome printers, color and monochrome copiers, color and monochrome facsimile machines, combined printer, facsimile and copying machines, label printers, large format plotters, photograph copiers, printers for digital photographic "minilabs", video printers, PHOTO CD (PHOTO CD is a registered trade mark of the Eastman Kodak Company) printers, portable printers for PDAs, wallpaper printers, indoor sign printers, billboard printers, fabric printers, camera printers and fault tolerant commercial printer arrays.
It would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the present invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
Ink Jet Technologies
The embodiments of the invention use an ink jet printer type device. Of course many different devices could be used. However presently popular ink jet printing technologies are unlikely to be suitable.
The most significant problem with thermal ink jet is power consumption. This is approximately 100 times that required for high speed, and stems from the energy-inefficient means of drop ejection. This involves the rapid boiling of water to produce a vapor bubble which expels the ink. Water has a very high heat capacity, and must be superheated in thermal ink jet applications. This leads to an efficiency of around 0.02%, from electricity input to drop momentum (and increased surface area) out.
The most significant problem with piezoelectric ink jet is size and cost. Piezoelectric crystals have a very small deflection at reasonable drive voltages, and therefore require a large area for each nozzle. Also, each piezoelectric actuator must be connected to its drive circuit on a separate substrate. This is not a significant problem at the current limit of around 300 nozzles per printhead, but is a major impediment to the fabrication of pagewidth printheads with 19,200 nozzles.
Ideally, the ink jet technologies used meet the stringent requirements of in-camera digital color printing and other high quality, high speed, low cost printing applications. To meet the requirements of digital photography, new ink jet technologies have been created. The target features include:
low power (less than 10 Watts)
high resolution capability (1,600 dpi or more)
photographic quality output
low manufacturing cost
small size (pagewidth times minimum cross section)
high speed (<2 seconds per page).
All of these features can be met or exceeded by the ink jet systems described below with differing levels of difficulty. Forty-five different ink jet technologies have been developed by the Assignee to give a wide range of choices for high volume manufacture. These technologies form part of separate applications assigned to the present Assignee as set out in the table below under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
The ink jet designs shown here are suitable for a wide range of digital printing systems, from battery powered one-time use digital cameras, through to desktop and network printers, and through to commercial printing systems.
For ease of manufacture using standard process equipment, the printhead is designed to be a monolithic 0.5 micron CMOS chip with MEMS post processing. For color photographic applications, the printhead is 100 mm long, with a width which depends upon the ink jet type. The smallest printhead designed is IJ38, which is 0.35 mm wide, giving a chip area of 35 square mm. The printheads each contain 19,200 nozzles plus data and control circuitry.
Ink is supplied to the back of the printhead by injection molded plastic ink channels. The molding requires 50 micron features, which can be created using a lithographically micromachined insert in a standard injection molding tool. Ink flows through holes etched through the wafer to the nozzle chambers fabricated on the front surface of the wafer. The printhead is connected to the camera circuitry by tape automated bonding.
Tables of Drop-on-Demand Ink Jets
Eleven important characteristics of the fundamental operation of individual ink jet nozzles have been identified. These characteristics are largely orthogonal, and so can be elucidated as an eleven dimensional matrix. Most of the eleven axes of this matrix include entries developed by the present assignee.
The following tables form the axes of an eleven dimensional table of ink jet types.
Actuator mechanism (18 types)
Basic operation mode (7 types)
Auxiliary mechanism (8 types)
Actuator amplification or modification method (17 types)
Actuator motion (19 types)
Nozzle refill method (4 types)
Method of restricting back-flow through inlet (10 types)
Nozzle clearing method (9 types)
Nozzle plate construction (9 types)
Drop ejection direction (5 types)
Ink type (7 types)
The complete eleven dimensional table represented by these axes contains 36.9 billion possible configurations of ink jet nozzle. While not all of the possible combinations result in a viable ink jet technology, many million configurations are viable. It is clearly impractical to elucidate all of the possible configurations. Instead, certain ink jet types have been investigated in detail.

Vote for Moderator!
Check out all moderator applicants below and select which you would like to see added to the moderator team here at zefron.com. Send me a PM with the name of who you think could best do the job! Please select one or two forum members you think are best for the job and make sure to read everyone's application question and answers (don't just pick your friends!).
Name: mirandagirl AKA Miranda
Age: 19
Country: United States
About Me: I'm just you're average college student who has been an, adamant, Zac fan since 2006. I tend to be relatively shy in person, and that sometimes tends to come across online. I'd probably call myself a "people pleaser" because I always have to make sure everyone around me is happy, even if I'm not, mainly because I don't like it when others are mad at me. People always say how responsible and dependable I am, and how I'm going to be a great nurse (since I'm in college to become a nurse), but sometimes I don't see it. I am a very honest person though; I do think that is one attribute that I see in myself. I found out about zefron.com before I found out about the forum which was in 2007. Since then I've probably developed an unhealthy obsession with knowing about Zac and his career from going on the main site, but it makes me happy. Then around 2 years ago, I discovered the forum. I figured it would be a nice place to talk to people like me. I've met some really nice people on the forum, and some not so nice.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? No, sadly, I do not. The zefron forum is the only forum I am on. I go on livejournal threads, but no other forums.
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? Usually on the weekends, I am on the computer anyway, but during the week, it varies when I can get on. During the week, I'm usually able to get on everyday but only to check up on new updates and such for like 10 minutes. Over the weekend is when I'm on the longest.
Why should you be given a moderator position? I feel like I would be a good moderator because aside from following the rules, which I tend to follow for anything, I just want to maintain an overall happy atmosphere. As much as I think I would be a good moderator, I think there are other people who have been on the forum a lot longer than me who are more deserving of being a moderator.
Name: michelle. AKA Michelle
Age: 19
Country: United States
About Me: I'm a college student (just completed my first year). I'm very caring and I love being able to give my friends (or anyone) advice about situations they're in. I love helping people in general, really. I also love, love kids. That explains why I'm majoring in early childhood education. (:
Do you have any experience working on other forums? Yes, I do. I was a moderator previously. (mileyfans.net)
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? Yes, especially because I am off for the summer.
Why should you be given a moderator position? For one, I do have prior experience. I'm also a reliable person and I enjoy being able to help out.
Name: samfron AKA Sammie
Age: 14, 15 in June
Country: United States
About Me: I love music, reading, and looking at graphics. I love to write and I love to travel. I don't really know what else to say.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? Nope, this is the only forum I've ever belonged to.
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? Yes, I'm online.... too much.
Why should you be given a moderator position? I should be given this position because I've been on this forum for seven years now and I have also progressed as a fan of Zac. I think I'm a nice person and could settle problems or disputes fairly easy.
Name: HeartBroken AKA Naya P.
Age: 14
Country: United States
Do you have any experience working on other forums? Working on becoming a moderator for Arklight.net
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? Yes, especially when I finish up my classes in June, I will absolutely have enough online available time to moderate.
Why should you be given a moderator position? I am very responsible and the type of person who never gives up when it comes to finishing a task and/or goal. I don't believe letting anyone down or giving up is an option. I've been told numerous times that I have outstanding leadership qualities and maturity more than anyone else in my age groups or other adults. If I am chosen to become a moderator for this forum, I guarantee you I won't you or anyone down.
Name: BEE AKA Biancha
Age: 18
Country: United Kingdom
About Me: I am a shy but very friendly person. I get on really well with people online or offline. I have many interests/hobbies, (for example: graphics, writing, movies, animals). I enjoy talking to those who share the same interests/hobbies as me and learning about other people's interests if they differ from mine. I always look forward to learning new things, even if it's something small. I try the very best I can in anything I have a go at, and I am ready to listen if someone needs to talk about anything that's on their mind.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? Yes, I am currently a moderator on PanemOnline
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? Yes, and I am able to check the forum when I am not near a laptop. (Smartphone)
Why should you be given a moderator position? I have been a member on the forum since March '07, and have seen what it was like back then, and what it has become. I would like to help bring the forum back to how it used to be if possible. I have matured a lot over the 5 years (WOW!!) I have been on the forum, and I feel like I can be a good moderator if given the chance, as I am learning about more about the role and what it involves from my current position on PO.
Name: Stephanie
Age: 21
Country: United States (Washington State)
About Me: Stephanie is a bookworm and fun loving girl all in one. She is currently in her second year of community college. Right now she is attempting to FINALLY finish up her prerequisites in hopes of applying for the RN program by the end of next winter. When she has spare time she likes to spend it being with her boyfriend Michael. She has a passion for pasta and a taste for breaded fish for reasons unknown. Stephanie has two cats and two dogs and is an animal lover. When she is not studying for her classes you will find her watching a movie or creeping around on Facebook.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? I do not currently have formal experience on other forums but I am more than willing to learn what it takes to do a successful job fulfilling the position. I do however, over the years of being on the Zefron Forum, have experience in what seems to work well for the forum and what can dissolve fights the quickest when things get heated.
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? While college is demanding at times, I do feel like I could handle the demands this forum will have when it come to helping members and keeping the forum fresh and clean for new members to want to join without fear.
Why should you be given a moderator position? I have been a member since 2006. I have been here through the busy times, and also the slow times. I feel like I could help bring the forum back to how it once was while still maintaining what we have going on currently. We don't want to make everything the same as it was in 2006. The members have either grown up or have changed. We are not the "same" forum we once were and I think a moderator should be someone who understands this. I have always been someone other members feel comfortable private messaging when they are going through something. I have grown close to many members on here so I feel that I could help to keep the forum in order while still understanding that we don't want a dictatorship. That never worked in the past and we want moderators to be someone others respect but never fear. My dream for this forum is for new members to come here and feel like they are home. I want new members as well as the older ones to feel like they can feel safe to discuss how they feel without the fear of someone jumping down their throat and having not one person around to help. Many fights in the past could have been resolved before they escalated out of control if there had been a few extra sets of eyes that could come in and help regain peace. Bottom line, I want the forum to thrive and not die out because everyone is afraid of saying the wrong thing. Besides the member side of things, I also enjoy starting up contests and getting people involved in discussions. Being a moderator would help me to expand on this passion and allow others to feel like they are apart of something fun.
Name: Twilight AKA Dawn
Age: 40
Country: U.S.A.
About Me: My name is Dawn & I'm from sunny Florida. I enjoy making graphics, movies, music, televison, traveling & wrestling. I'm really a sweet person once you get to know me & just a lady with a heart of gold.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? I believe that I do have experience on forums. I own four forums myself.
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? I'm usually available online at least once/twice a day unless I'm having cable/technical issues.
Why should you be given a moderator position? I believe that I can maintain a peaceful existence & forum for everyone. I also enjoy having a place to come too in which we have something common. A connection about simply admiring Zac for his experience in movies & how much of a wonderful actor he truly is.
Name: ZacAttack2290 AKA Maria
Age: 23
Country: USA (Mid-Atlantic Coast)
About Me: Loves Zac Efron, photography, photoshop, chatting, and has a great visual memory. Has a great sense of humor.
Do you have any experience working on other forums? Nope.
Do you believe you are available online enough to moderate? I'll do my best!
Why should you be given a moderator position? I love this site and I'll come back often if I am given this position!

May 25, 2006
WORCESTER, Mass. - Four Crusader athletes are among a total of 12 Holy Cross students who have been named 2006 Presidential Service Award recipients, as announced today by the college's student affairs department. Seniors Gideon Akande (Chicago, Ill.), Kolt Bloxson (Fitchburg, Mass.), Rebecca Cole (Barrington, R.I.) and Heather Johnson (Wrentham, Mass.) have all earned Presidential recognition after being nominated by members of the faculty and staff for their service and contributions to the college and greater Worcester communities.
A catcher on the softball team, Johnson served as team captain during her senior year, while totaling nine hits, three runs scored and four runs batted in. Off the field, she served as chair of the Education Student Advisory Committee, co-coordinator of Pax Christi, and co-head of Students for Responsible Choices. Johnson's volunteer experience includes working with Abby's Daytime, the Mustard Seed and Youth Opportunities Upheld; coaching at the annual Holy Cross softball clinic; and tutoring at a local high school. A three-time selection to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, she will graduate with a degree in mathematics.
A running back on the football team, Akande rushed 48 times for 180 yards and three touchdowns during his senior season, while ranking third on the team with 447 all-purpose yards. He finished his four-year career as a Crusader with 1,737 rushing yards, 3,101 all-purpose yards and 17 total touchdowns. Off the field, Akande was involved with after school programs at the YMCA and the Nativity School, while also helping to hold free kids' clinics. A 2004 selection to the Patriot League Academic Honor roll, he will graduate with a degree in political science.
A forward on the women's ice hockey team, Bloxson ranked third on the squad in scoring as a senior with 21 points on 11 goals and 10 assists. Over the course of her four-year career as a Crusader, she totaled 113 points on 56 goals and 57 assists. Off the ice, Bloxson worked with the city of Worcester and the student government association to earn Holy Cross a No Place for Hate designation through the Anti-Defamation League. She also took part in a summer immersion program in Kenya through the chaplains' office. A three-time selection to the ECAC East All-Academic team, Bloxson will graduate with a degree in classics and philosophy.
A thrower on the women's track and field team, Cole finished in seventh place in the hammer throw at the 2006 Patriot League outdoor championship, with a toss of 148-feet, six-inches. Earlier in the season, she placed second in the hammer throw at the Solomon Husky Invitational, and third at the Holy Cross Invitational and the Brown Springtime Invitational. Away from the track, Cole volunteered with Student Programs for Urban Development, while taking part in the Rodman Ride for Kids and the annual Relay for Disaster Relief. She will graduate with a degree in mathematics.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones details intentions to retire by 30
I just want to leave the sport with a good head on my shoulders, Jones told MMAjunkie. I dont want to be one of these guys that are taking fights way past their prime.
The New York native has seen many of his athletic idols continue to compete past their primes for essentially no reason.
With all Jones has already accomplished in his short career, he will go down as one of the most successful fighters ever, regardless of how future bouts play out.
Jones is fully aware of that, and even if hes still considered the worlds best fighter at 30, he believes continuing beyond that point would only tarnish his reputation.
I want to leave my legacy in a healthy spot, Jones said. I want my legacy to be respected and I just want to leave on top.
Critics of Jones initial statements believe he may be teasing retirement as a negotiation tactic to draw a more lucrative contract from his employers going forward.
The 205-pound champ adamantly denies those claims, saying financials have no barring on the situation.
No. No I didnt say that for more money, Jones said. Right now, where Im at financially, I never thought I would be, so I could honestly retire today [and be financially secure].
As the UFC becomes increasingly more popular around the globe, Jones star grows brighter and brighter with each passing day.
He has already managed to draw crossover sponsorships into the MMA world from companies such as Nike and Gatorade, and has previously voiced goals that expand beyond the MMA sphere such as modeling and acting.
Those opportunities are ones Jones has created for himself though his efforts in the octagon, and when he walks away from the sport, hed like to reap the benefits of that work.
Ive had a lot of doors be opened through MMA and I just feel like theres a lot of other business out there, Jones said. Theres a lot of other business out there.
I feel like its been fun. Ive got a little bit more to prove, but Ive also proven a lot already and theres no need to do it after 30, Jones said. I think Im a smart enough guy to be able to do a lot of other things.

Thursday, August 22, 2013
It is with the deepest sadness and most profound grief that I share with you that Motley Rice LLC co-founder Ronald L. Motley, 68, has passed away.
Ron was a true giant of the legal profession. A trail blazer and innovator. A charismatic master of the courtroom. A tenacious interrogator. The greatest trial lawyer ever. All marked by unmatched courage in going after any wrongdoer, no matter how big and powerful, and by his bottomless well of compassion for those who had been wronged.
Ron and I were partners and close friends for 35 years as we worked together to fight for our clients and their causes to build Motley Rice into what it is today. Not only is this a personal loss to me, Ron's family, my family and our firm but also for so many more for whom Ron also was a devoted friend, mentor, collaborator, legal adversary and fellow crusader for justice.
Ron's passing is an incalculable loss for all those he devoted his life's work to, whether it was people harmed from asbestos exposure, State Attorneys General taking on Big Tobacco, 9/11 family members seeking to bankrupt terrorism, or anyone else who wanted his or her day in court to redress injustice. Ron proudly lived life as a trial lawyer.
All of us at Motley Rice will continue to devote ourselves to carrying Ron's legacy forward and honoring his life and memory by redoubling our efforts to put the powerless on a level playing field with the powerful, to get them their day in court, and to win justice for all. As Ron would say, "We'll leave no stone unturned."
He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
Arrangements will be shared as they are made.

Update: Join me in fighting SOPA on Facebook during next week's Reddit blackout.
A week from today, one of the most popular websites on the internet will go dark. Reddit, the current king of all social media sites due to its massive, influential community and ability to send out hundreds of thousands of hits to a single post, is doing its part to help stop internet censorship law SOPA with a display of force.
The decision to black out the site for a period of 12 hours next Wednesday comes in the wake of the announcement that Reddit co-founder Alexis "kn0thing" Ohanian is heading to Congress to testify on behalf of the tech community. He's of the firm position that SOPA could potentially "obliterate" the entire tech industry, a position I strongly agree with.
The Reddit blackout is perhaps the greatest "money where your mouth is" moment in the entire anti-SOPA campaign so far, as moving domains away from SOPA supporter GoDaddy can only accomplish so much. It's an unavoidable message that will reach all the users that have allowed Reddit to become a two billion page view a month website.
But unfortunately, it's not enough, and I worry the blackout may be preaching to the choir. Chances are if you're a regular Reddit user, you're either tech savvy enough to know the dangers of SOPA, or if not, you've at least been reading about it on the site's front page for months.
Rather, even though Reddit is a massive site, the industry needs a nuclear option to truly decimate SOPA once and for all. Titans like Google and Facebook need to have a similar blackout, which would reach an audience far, far wider than Reddit's.
For as much as I've been writing about SOPA, and getting great responses from other tech people online, Joe Citizen still doesn't seem to have much of a clue about it, and if he does know it exists, he has little idea what it could actually mean for the fate of the internet.
That's where a Google/Facebook blackout would have the power to instantly crush SOPA. If the sites went dark and instead linked to pages explaining the problems with SOPA, and then had links for people to contact Congress, I guarantee it would be the killing blow for the bill. National news agencies which have largely been avoiding covering SOPA because their parent companies support it would be forced to report on the topic, as Facebook and Google going offline would undoubtedly be the biggest tech story of the day, week, month, or possibly the year.
Is it absolutely necessary? I'm not sure. It would definitely amount to a significant revenue loss for each company, and in Google's case, every website out there that relies on search traffic would take a hit. But you could argue that for the long term safety of the internet, it would absolutely be worth it.
I have a hunch that when the leaders of the "internet industry" as it were, get to Capitol Hill, they'll have the ability to talk clueless lawmakers out of supporting the bill, and I still don't believe that relatively tech-friendly President Obama would sign such a piece of legislation into law should it somehow pass. But if we're going for a better safe than sorry approach, a blackout of the internet's biggest sites would seal the deal automatically, and we could be free of this nonsense for good.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Winston-Salem State avenged a loss to the USC Aiken mens basketball team just nine days earlier, with a 79-70 victory over the Pacers Wednesday.
USCA (2-1) had opened the two-game season series between the two teams by garnering a 98-84 victory over the then 15th-ranked Rams at the Convocation Center on Nov. 19.
Wednesdays game against Winston-Salem State (4-2) was the first road game of the season for the Pacers, and their first loss. They were unable to overcome a huge hole they dug for themselves in the first half as the Rams led 41-23 at halftime.
The Pacers, who shot just 31 percent (9-for-29) as a team from the floor in the first half, didnt roll over. They outscored the Rams in the second half, 47-38. But the much-improved shooting wasnt enough to erase the sizeable deficit. USCA shot 50 percent (16-for-32) shooting in the second half.
Overall, the Pacers connected on 41 percent (25-for-61) of their shots in the game. It was substantially less than the 61 percent shooting night they had in the first win over the Rams. Winston-Salem State shot 44.3 percent (27-for-61) as a team in the win.
The Pacers held a 13-6 advantage in the game in 3-point field goals made. USC Aiken shot 40.6 percent (13-of-32) from beyond the arc in the game.
Four Pacers finished in double figures in the contest with Santoine Butler leading the way with a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Butler, who was 6-for-9 from the field, also had two blocks.
For the second game in a row, Ronald Zimmerman led the Pacers with 22 points after posting 28 in the first meeting with the Rams. Zimmerman hit six 3-pointers in the game.
Jesse Seilern did a little bit of everything for USCA, finishing with 11 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals. Kinley Branch was the final Pacer in double figures with 10 points. He also had 10 rebounds to collect a double-double of his own to go along with two blocks.
Winston-Salem States Justin Glover led all players with 30 points.
USCA will return to action on Saturday, when it travels to in Columbia for a game against Benedict. The games scheduled to tip off at 3 p.m.

Good evening Patriots fans! I'm not going to make this a recap, because if you didn't watch tonight's Super Bowl, shame on you! The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona was an excellent host for Super Bowl XLIX and I'm so glad that our Patriots came out on top. In fact, I think this […]

As the Super Bowl is now four days away, we wanted to get the Seattle perspective on this matchup. To do that, we did a Q+A with the co-editor of 12th Man Rising, Keith Myers. Here are his responses: 1. When you first saw it would be a Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl, what were your initial […]

The NFL world has been talking about air pressure in footballs for too long. It's gotten in the way of what ultimately is the greatest game in all of sports and what could easily end up being one of the better Super Bowls in recent memory. Just like last year, Super Bowl XLIX will showcase […]

Raj: There will not be any impact on this for Super Bowl XLIX. In terms of whether this poses as a distraction to the Pats, not at all. This team is very disciplined and is way better than that. It would be very un-Patriot like to see this team get distracted by this situation. If the […]

Kyle: Deputy Barney Fife, I mean Commissioner Goodell, showing everybody that he is boss, will levy some overly-heavy handed punishment on the Pats. The punishmentshould be similar to a Jaywalking ticket, $25,000. However, Commissioner Fife will pull the one bullet out of his shirt pocket and give a four game suspension to BB, a hefty (more […]

Rick: Absolutely, people are "over-inflating" the importance of deflate-gate. Yes, the Patriots should be punished if found guilty by the NFL because it technically is cheating. The sad part about this situation is New England did not need to deflate the balls in order to beat the Colts the way they did. In fact, New England […]

So we have the initial findings around the Patriots using underinflated balls and they are not good. According to several media reports, 11 of the 12 balls were up to two pounds below the minimum required by rule. This is bad, in many ways, for the Patriots However, before we explore the fallout that is […]

One of the main differences between Real Science-4-Kids curriculum and
other science curriculums for this age group is the detailed Teacher's
Manual. Many elementary age teachers do not have a background in science
and do not feel adequately prepared to teach science topics. Our Teacher's
Manual was designed to make teaching science easy and fun, even for
the teacher with no science background. Each page of the Manual contains
the student text page on the left and important background and teaching
information for the instructor on the right side of the page. For the
lab workbook, the expected results are clearly laid out for the teacher.

Student Organizations Scheduling Policy
Student organizations can only schedule campus space after the Leadership Program has officially recognized the group. Ā The policy for scheduling campus space differs depending on the group's status.
Re-recognizing Student Organizations:
Student organizations that would like to be re-recognized can submit paperwork any time between the first day of classes through October 1. Ā Paperwork may be turned in earlier; however, the approval process will not start until the first day of classes. Ā Due to the high number of groups (100+) there will be a delay between when re-recognition paperwork is handed in and when it is processed. Ā The Leadership Program will do its best to process the paperwork in a timely manner. ĀĀ
If a student organization fails to turn in the re-recognition paperwork or it is turned in incomplete, that student organization's privileges (including the ability to schedule space on campus) will be suspended until approval has been granted by the Leadership Program.
Re-recognizing student organizations may schedule one major event, regular booth space, and regular meeting space for the month of September in advance of re-recognition approval. Ā Please note that student organizations are limited to one regular booth space in Wood Center per week, one regular meeting space in Wood Center per week, and one Carol Brown Ballroom reservation per semester. Ā Only student organization members who have been authorized to make reservations for the group will be allowed to schedule space; a list of members authorized to make reservations is required on the recognition form.
New Student Organizations:
The scheduling policy is a little different for new student organizations. ĀĀ Groups who are applying for official student organization recognition through the Leadership Program are required to schedule two organizational meetings as a part of the approval process. Ā Paperwork for new student organizations may be submitted to the Leadership Program at any time. Ā New student organizations may not schedule any other events or meetings until they are approved by the Leadership Program. Ā Please keep in mind that there will be a slight delay between when paperwork is handed in and when it is processed.
Once a Student Organization is Recognized:
Once a student organization has been recognized, the group can make reservations for the Fall, Spring and Summer of the current academic year (subject to reservation policies for specific facilities). Ā Please note that student organizations are limited to one regular booth space in Wood Center per week, one regular meeting space in Wood Center per week, and one Carol Brown Ballroom reservation per semester. Only student organization members who have been authorized to make reservations for the group will be allowed to schedule space; a list of members authorized to make reservations is required on the recognition form.
After October 1, the Scheduling Office will ensure that a student organization has been re-recognized before approving any scheduling requests.
To ensure that the Leadership Program's student organizations database is as accurate as possible, it is important to update changes of officers and reservationists online as they occur.
Scheduling Office:
All scheduling requests must be made in writing. Ā To schedule rooms for student organization use stop by 101D and fill out a Facilities Use Request form or e-mail the Wood Center Scheduling Office at email@example.com. Ā Scheduling Office hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30am – 4:30pm. Ā
Wood Center Scheduling current rate for setup, teardown and event staffing for Student Organizations is $12.25 per hour. Ā Each student organization will receive 5 hours of event set up/tear down in the Wood Center per semester free of charge. Organizations using more than 5 hours of set-up/tear down time will be charged at a rate of $12.25 per hour. Ā If your event requires event staffing this will also be charged at the rate of $12.25 per hour. Ā
Please keep in mind that the Scheduling Office can also reserve classrooms for student organizations use. Ā Classrooms are an ideal location for weekly meetings but cannot be reserved until the second week of the semester due to academic schedule changes. Ā Any equipment needed in a classroom must be reserved through Media Services at the Library.
Re-recognition paperwork due: ĀĀĀĀ First day of classes to October 1
New student organization paperwork due: ĀĀĀĀ Any time
Updated list of student organization officers/reservationists due:ĀĀĀĀ As changes occur

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Many familiar faces are set to take the infield for the Lady Mocs to begin the 2013 season, including seniors Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) and Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) at their usual positions. The sure-handed Chattanooga infield, along with sophomore Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) and senior Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil), UTC also adds depth with six newcomers.
A leadoff hitter for most of last season, Poteat returns for her fourth year with the Lady Mocs and third season as a starter at second base. The former Southern Conference Tournament Most Outstanding Player led UTC with a .437 batting average, 62 hits and 18 stolen bases on 19 attempts. Poteat will play a major part in Chattanooga's small-ball game.
"Expect Sara at the top of the lineup making things happen," Head Coach FrankReed said. "I can see her at the top of the lineup and Stephanie Rieck (Chander, Ariz.) in either a two or three spot."
A star on the diamond, as well as at the plate, the Thomaston, Ga. native maintained a .958 fielding percentage and recorded 93 assists while committing only eight errors over 45 games. Poteat was also elected to the SoCon preseason All-Conference First-Team by the league's coaches last week.
Tydingco will anchor first base for the fourth straight season after starting her freshman campaign in 2010 when then-first baseman Michelle Fuzzard went down with an ACL injury. The Fairfield, Calif. native is expected to be the heart of the lineup, and with good reason. Tacking on to her power ever since, Tydingco blasted 13 homeruns last season, drove in 62 runs and slugged .738 in 2012. With exceptional speed for a first baseman, Tydingco also split the gaps 20 times last season with 17 doubles and 3 triples.
Transferring in for the 2012 season, Suetsugu saw limited playing time but is expected to be a starter for 2013. With many defensive positions already filled, the Sao Paulo, Brazil infielder only started 21 games for the Lady Mocs last season. That could change this season if Suetsugu displays the same hot bat and glove she was recruited for out of Miami-Dade. The senior is expected to start at shortstop, but don't be surprised by her versatility- Suetsugu may also see time behind the plate as a catcher.
Roberts is expected to make the start at third base for Reed's 2013 Lady Mocs. The Mt. Juliet, Tenn. native quickly overcame her freshman jitters in 2012 and filled the fifth defensive spot vacated by Chattanooga legend Tiffany Baker. With a solid glove and a bat that's beginning to heat up, Roberts started 48 games and played in 50 contests. As a freshman, she batted .328 and maintained a .399 on-base percentage. Roberts also displayed a good eye at the plate, walking 16 times. Roberts was named to the SoCon preseason All-Conference Second-Team by the league's coaches.
Of the three freshmen, the most likely to make an immediate impact with the Lady Mocs will be Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.). Taylor is a middle infielder who will be first off the bench and could slide into a designated hitter's role when not on defense.
"Alyssa Taylor has been looking really good with the bat," Reed said. "I could see her near the top of the lineup or down near the nine spot making things happen there."
Freshman Kaisey Carson (Indianapolis, Ind.) stands at 6-feet tall and will serve as the backup first baseman for Tydingco. Carson may not see much time on the corner with a healthy Tydingco in the lineup, but she will be seen in the circle for her pitching abilities often.
Transfer Victoria Sovak (Roebling, N.J.) is listed as both an outfielder and infielder, but made the majority of her starts while at Rutgers-Newark, and sophomore Halen Weeks (Dalton, Ga.), a transfer from Cleveland State, is listed as an infielder and catcher. Both junior Tyler Templet (Woodstock, Ga.), a transfer from Tennessee Tech, and freshman Kayla Ferrari (Brentwood, Tenn.) could also factor in as backups in the Lady Mocs' long list of infielders.
Expected to be the Lady Mocs starting catcher is freshman Anyssa Robles (Hoschton, Ga.). The catcher had an outstanding fall and was the highlight of the Blue-Gold game with a double and long homerun to straight-away centerfield. Robles looks to fill the void left by Vivian Morimoto after the 2012 season. Morimoto accounted for 34 of the Lady Mocs extra-base hits last season.
The Lady Mocs open their season Friday in Clermont, Fla. at Dot Richardson's National Training Center Invitational. Chattanooga takes on Fordham at noon before meeting with Southern Illinois at 2 p.m. the same day.

by Cris Ritchie — Editor
A few hundred people gathered at the new East Perry Elementary on Monday to begin the new school year with a blessing.
Jeff Ritchie serves as the school resource officer at Perry Central, and said for the past couple of years members of his church had gone to the county's schools during the summer for prayer, and he thought it also would be a good thing for the county's newest addition.
"Being that this was the new year for East Perry, I guess I just felt God dealing with me to really pray for this school and do what was good for it," Ritchie said. "I got the idea to get enough people to form a ring that would go hand-in-hand, completely around the school in prayer."
Ritchie said he had his doubts at first that enough people were present, and when the group, which consisted of local residents ranging from students' parents to police officers and school board members, first attempted to circle the school they found themselves about 50 feet short. That's when the Perry Central football team, which was practicing nearby, joined in to complete the circle.
Ritchie went on to thank those who showed up to the support the school, and said he hopes the effort illustrates that God has not been completely taken away from the schools.
"We felt like we could do that and open it up," he said, "and show that God is important in our life and we've not kicked him out of our schools, and we want Him there to bless this place and bless this school."
The county schools will get back to the classroom on Wednesday.

I fondled an empty .45-70 case and tested its fit in several magazines. This seems like it would be a NICE round for the AK platform.
I am sure it will fit in the G3 .308 magazines I tested. I still have a pile of them! The FAL mag would require a bit more work to shape the top area due to the thin size, and it would hold less rounds, again due to the thinner size. My estimate is that perhaps 12-15 rounds in a G3 magazine would fit.
The PSL mags are really too thin at the tip to handle more than perhaps 5 rounds, if that much. I think the cartridges tip too much toward the middle, but I'd have to stack it full to see exactly how that would work.
I didn't have any other mags - PSL, FAL, and G3 were all I could find. I'd like to see how those US Saiga .308 magazines would work. I wonder if Saiga .410 magazines might work too?
Looking at the rim, it seems a 7.62x54R bolt could be modified to fit the .602" base of the .45-70. There would still be enough area on the bolt to cover the rim, and considering the rim really doesn't need to be directly supported, it seems almost too easy to modify it.
The Speer reloading manual has a section dedicated to the .45-70 with loads specifically tailored to "only the modern lever actions" that can handle the "extremely high pressure" of 35,000 CUP. That really got my attention!
The AK action should be able to handle this cartridge no problem.
considerable hunting platform. And a home defense platform too, assuming you put a big muzzle brake on it. I'm thinking a blast-redirecting brake like on the Barrett 50. I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those, perhaps on Global Trades.
I have no idea on barrels. I assume it uses a .458 barrel but I could be wrong. I'll have to check on what's out there. I think a nice 16-18" barrel with a whopper muzzle brake would fit the bill very nicely!
Wheels are a'turnin!!!! Someone talk me out of this! Why would this be a bad idea?
