THE Best Movies Growing UP
As a child, life was about sports and funny movies — and especially funny movies about sports.
This is a list of the Top 10 Sports Movies from our childhood. If reading this list doesn't take you back to the glory days, or make you want to go out and buy all of them, (which I did as you can tell from the photo — and told the wife it was for "research") then I don't know what to tell you.
If you didn't like these movies growing up….chances are we wouldn't be friends.
Editor's Note: Special thanks Brett Krupinski, Nikki Jackson, Bill Thompson, and Miles Horton for their participation and help preparing this list.
So here is the list, and please feel free to add in your favorites or change up the order in the comments section below:
10. The Big Green
"We don't play soccer….it's for foreigners"
"I'm little, I'm low to the ground, I got power, I got moves! I'm your man"
If anyone can get you to want to play soccer, it is a hot foreign exchange teacher. With classic lines like the above referenced one "we don't play soccer….it's for foreigners" (which his hilarious to me), how can you go wrong.
This is another movie along the lines of The Little Giants where the team that has no business being put together in the first place, finds a way to come together to compete and take on the bad guys. This one's stars everybody's favorite fake professional wrestler — The Great Hambino — also known as Hamilton Porter from The Sandlot.
The Big Green isn't as heralded as some of the movies on this list, but it it is still a very good sports comedy. It may not stand up to some of the heavyweights, but it still delivers. Oh…..and did I mention the hot foreign exchange teacher?
-Trevor Jackson
9. Angels In The Outfield
"You've never seen angels before, so why should you now….. Hey, it could happen."
"He's got nothing left… All he has to do is believe."
The heartwarming tale of two foster kids with nothing to lose, who bring a little luck from up above to a hopeless baseball team, this movie ranks up there on the all-time tearjerker list with "All Dogs Go To Heaven" and "The 6th Man". The story starts out as young Roger is hopelessly clinging to his loyalty of the Angels, and the idea that his father will come back for him and they can be a family. When his dad basically abandons him, coldly saying they can be a family when "the Angels win the pennant.", Roger prays for God to make his dream come true.
What ensues is the most inspired stretch of baseball in over a century, as a hapless and talentless roster managed by mean spirited, kid hating Danny Glover, throws saber metrics out the window and starts winning games with the help of… you guessed it, Angels In The Outfield! The Angels finish the season on a historic streak, going 29 and -2 (that's right, negative 2!) to setup a pennant winning series, but Roger's father still decides to give him up and the Angels lose and Roger and J.P. find it hard to believe. When everything is at its bleakest and it looks hopeless again, the team stands up and finds something else to believe in… they believe in themselves.
In the end everything works out as the Angels win the pennant without the help of the real angels, and newly soft hearted Danny Glover adopts the boys so that everyone can live happily ever after. Except for Tony Danza. He dies because he smoked too much.
-Brett Krupinski
8. Cool Runnings
"Our Father, who art in Calgary, Bobsled be thy name. Thy kingdom come, gold medals won, on Earth as it is in Turn Seven. With Liberty and Justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie. Amen. "
"Sanka….you dead yet?……..Ya, mon"
"One Dream. Four Jamaicans. 20 Below Zero." That tagline does a pretty good job of letting you know what you are getting into when starting this movie. John Candy's character Irv Blitzer won an Olympic gold medal as a bobsledder, only to have it stripped away when they found he cheated by putting weights in the front of the sled. The disgraced Irv hides out in Jamaica — presumably slamming Red Stripes all day, amongst other things — to try and run from his embarrassment.
A local Jamaican runner fails to qualify for the Olympics, and decides to put together the 1st Jamaican Bobsled team and has to convince Irv to be their coach. Putting the team together and watching them first practice gives us some of the funniest moments in the movie. From Sanka kissing eggs, to repeatable quotes such as "Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!", this is a great movie for everyone. I am not sure about you, but I certainly wanted to go bobsledding after watching this one.
As a kid, most of us were probably not aware of the Slow Clap, or the fact that we all come with a natural instinct to just stand up and slowly start clapping during certain moments. The scene when the Jamaican team crashes, and then come together as a team and walk their bobsled to the finish line, is the first time I can remember standing up and starting to clap without knowing what I was doing.
-Trevor Jackson
7. Space Jam
"I tought I taw – I did! I did! I did tee Michael Jordan!"
"I've been MRI'd, EKG'd, X-Rayed, Laser beamed.."
"Larry's not white. Larry's clear."
Re-watching this as an adult is a good idea, because some of the comedy is lost on youthful viewers. That being said, this was still one of my favorite movies growing up. Who didn't love the Looney Tunes? Who didn't love Michael Jordan? Put them together in a basketball competition and you have pure gold for kids who were sports fans.
The Looney Tunes gang are being forced to work at the theme park Moron Mountain and come up with a plan to play a basketball game for their freedom. The plan almost backfires, as the original team, The Nerdlucks, manage to steal the talent of some NBA players [Larry Johnson, Mugsy Bogues, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, and Shawn Bradley] to form the super team of the Monstars. The only solution for Bugs Bunny, is to save baseball from Michael Jordan and bring him on board to take on the Monstars. With several cameos from Bill Murray to basketball players like Larry Bird, this movie is definitely one to re-watch now.
Cartoons + basketball + comedy = Lock
Side note: These were awesome
BONUS: The soundtrack from this movie is probably one of the best in the history of ever. Anytime I hear these songs, it takes me back to dominating middle school dances (….okay….honestly I just stood on the side with most other kids who were more interested in sports than dancing). I think the word for this soundtrack is timeless. R Kelly convinced me that I could fly….and I believed. With songs from R. Kelly, Seal, Jay-Z, Spin Doctors, Coolio, Quad City DJ's (and many others), as well as a sweet combo of Barry White and Chris Rock, you couldn't go wrong.
If you don't believe me, google the soundtrack. I guarantee some of you are going to buy or download some of the songs.
-Trevor Jackson
6. Rookie Of The Year
"Funky buttlovin'…. Did he say, funky buttlovin'?"
"Give him the cheese. The hot, stinky cheddar!"
"Hi kid. How'd you like to play for the Chicago Cubs?….. Great! But I gotta ask my mom first."
This movie could be considered the best kids movie of all time based purely off of dream potential. I mean, what kid doesn't grow up dreaming that they could play in the big leagues, striking out the side or hitting home runs in Wrigley, Fenway or Camden Yards? Growing up on the fields of Long Park and spending most summers running around the neighborhood playing backyard baseball, life was about doing Home Run Derbys pretending to be Frank Thomas, Griffey or Barry Bonds and striking people out as Mike Mussina with a devastating "Saturday Slider". This movie, no matter how ridiculous it seems, gave kids that awesome dream scenario that maybe I could break my arm, but I'll come back throwing 100 mph.
Loaded with classic lines and featuring John Candy, Marv from Home Alone, Henry Rowengartner's super nice, super hot mom and a not quite so crazy — but you still know he's crazy — Gary Busse as Chet Steadman; Rookie of the Year was a perfect sports movie to grow up with. This movie got us to dream big and let's us remember that there once was a time when Barry Bonds was actually a real person, not a chemically enhanced super robot with a size 13 ¾ hat.
-Brett Krupinski
5. The Karate Kid
"Finish Him!"
"Wax on, wax off"
When Daniel met Mr. Miyagi he was just a skinny, innocent boy living in Reseda. Little did he know he would meet an old guy — the ultimate karate fighter of the universe — who would train him to be awesome karate kid. The Karate Kid has everything a movie should have: drama, action, suspense, and of course a little romance.
Some of the best scenes of this movie are Mr. Miyagi teaching Daniel how to balance while in a canoe and he falls off, Halloween night when the Cobra Kai guys chase Daniel around town and get into a huge fight on the beach (that was epic) and of course the final karate tournament.
Arguably the best karate fighting scene of all time is the end of Karate Kid. Daniel gets knocked out from a cheap/illegal hit to the hamstring. Of course Mr. Miyagi comes to the rescue with some voodoo magic and heals Daniel at least enough to where he can fight again. In the final showdown, just when everone thinks Daniel will lose to Cobra Kai, he brings out his secret move. Anyone who is a fan of Karate Kid knows what move this is- one leg up, both arms stretched above his head…with one swift kick Daniel knocks his opponent out and ends up the winner of the tournament. In the end, bonzais and house painting beats douche bag senseis.
-Nikki Jackson
4. Little Big League
"Told ya. Should have started Wedmen"
"Hey 'Blackout,' I didn't get you for your curve ball. I don't like your curve ball. As a matter of fact, I hate your curve. You know why? Because the damn thing don't curve! "
This may be the most far fetched movie on the list, but awesome none the less. What kid would not want to own/coach a professional team? Little big league is the soul reason I was so upset when Target Field opened in Minnesota and the Metrodome closed its doors to the Twins. This movie also brings back memories when you watch it as an adult because of all of the actual major league players that make cameos, Ken Griffey Jr being the best of them all when he hits what looks like a 900 foot home run in the movie's final game. This movie is not as popular so to speak as some of the others on this list, but if you come across someone who can drop Little Big League quotes with you then you have made a friend for life.
-Bill Thompson
3. Little Giants
"Ewww, that's disgusting! It looks like they're trying to swallow each others heads"
"Spike's in hell. Spike's in pee-wee HELL!"
"Don't be talkin' bout my momma!!"
This movie is the king of kid movie sports quotes. Everyone has been called "Hot Hands" Hanon at some point in their life for dropping a wide open pass. We all knew that one tom-boy who wanted to play with the boys. At first, we were a little freaked out by it, because odds are at that age, you didn't know what type of equipment she was working with… but also you were probably freaked out she was going to be better than you (and probably was).
Everyone knew a Spike, and he was definitely never on any of your teams. He dominated every sport you played, but most importantly, was a dominating RB or LB in pee-wee. You still have bruises or scars from him when he trucked you at age 9. Jake Berman (the sick kid) was on every team as well. The overly protective mother, who wants his kid to try new things, but doesn't want him to get dirty or hurt, and then the kid who has no right in being out on the field in the first place. He'll do whatever he can to be sick or hurt, so he doesn't have to play. He'll have one moment that you still talk about to this day – an amazing play perhaps ("I'm going to score a touchdown!!") (The Annexation of Puerto Rico) or an embarrassing moment (Getting his helmet ripped off). In the end, you feel for those kids. It's possibly part of the reason why you hate the Cowboys….think about it.
-Miles Horton
2. The Mighty Ducks (saga)
"Two minutes… well worth it."
"It's knuckle puck time"
Being from the DMV, hockey wasn't a primary sport we all played growing up, so from the start, this movie didn't have much of a chance..but it is just too damn good to pass up. Who didn't love Bombay and his mentor-ship with Charlie Conway? Once again, the bond that the team had with one another, even after facing all sorts of adversity, prevails as the theme. [RELATED: I put the Goose on Ice like Coach Bombay] Goldberg's antics kept you laughing throughout the movie, and the rest of the team made you respect hockey. Without the Mighty Ducks.. I may not be a Capitals fan today. It is also the reason that I wish Iceland to do poorly in the Winter Olympics… but that is besides the point.This movie taught me most of what I know about hockey. The triple deke is the hardest move to stop in hockey, and the Flying V would work, but only when kids do it. Icing doesn't exist. I'm kidding, but the point is, this movie did open up this sport to most of the country's youth, and is a key reason for why we watch the NHL today.
Every single one of us either got a hockey puck or smashed a soda can down and attempted the knuckle puck at some point. It never worked, but you still believed it would work eventually. And that is why the flying V, and the Ducks fly together at number 2..
-Miles Horton
1. The Sandlot
"Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong. "
"Some lady gave it to him. She even signed her name on it.Some lady named… Ruth. Baby Ruth."
"You're killin me Smalls"
"You play ball like a girl!!"
If you played baseball growing up, this movie just spoke to you in more ways than one. When you watch this movie, you quickly place yourself with one of the kids on the team. If you were the best ball player amongst your friends, you'd instantly be Rodriguez. If you were the runt of the group, or just happened to be the kid with glasses, you were Squintz, chubby, Porter and if you were just happy to be invited to hang around friends your age… you, sadly, were Smalls. Every kid had a group of friends, or an opposing team in little league that you hated and desperately wanted to beat. When the boys from the Sandlot challenge the Phillips and the Tigers, it takes you back to those times.
The battle with the Beast helps bring this to the top. The camaraderie that the boys gain in dealing with the beast make me appreciate my buds growing up. We may not have had a battle with a Beast, but we sure had our moments where we needed one another but enough of the sappiness… and for the real reason this movie is number one.
Who didn't have a lifeguard they had a crush on growing up? We all had a Wendy Peffercorn… hell I still have a Wendy Peffercorn. We all watched this movie and instantly wanted to be able to do what Squintz did to Wendy Peffercorn. Once the pool opened up for the summer, you would head up to the pool, find that one lifeguard that you are going to stare at for the summer, and start planning how you're going to drown in the pool. We've all done it. And that is why this movie is the top of our list.
-Miles Horton

The new online learning (OL) program is designed to complement the Institute's residential training program. Online courses, which have the advantage of allowing participants to learn at their own pace, will feature recorded clips of lectures interspersed with interactive quizzes and hands-on exercises. Courses will also include a discussion forum to allow participants to network and discuss the course content.
Online learning will increasingly provide a "blended learning" experience, where participants will complete interactive, online learning modules in advance of attending the Institute's face-to-face training. Participants will also be able to take online courses as stand-alone learning experiences.
One major advantage of the online program is the ability to offer courses to all interested government officials, free of enrollment limits. At times, these courses will be opened to the general public as massive open online courses (MOOCs). Each catalog listing will indicate the audience. Government officials may choose to register for MOOCs or for courses targeted only at officials.
At this time, all online courses are offered in English only, with the exception of Financial Programming and Policies, Part 1: Macroeconomic Accounts and Analysis (FPP.1x) which is offered in English and French. As online courses become available in other languages in the future, they will be listed under the course offerings tab.
Online courses are free and open to all government officials regardless of agency. All who register will be admitted--there are no limits by country or agency. Sponsor contact information is requested in the online application, but formal sponsor approval is not required.
Online courses require a reliable internet connection and may also require software such as Excel or EViews. Individual course descriptions will include such requirements as well as the length of the course and the expected workload in hours per week.
Application deadline is approaching for:
Financial Programming and Policies, Part 1: Macroeconomic Accounts & Analysis (FPP.1x)

Those are "some" of the countless Pit Bulls held at Animal Control facility. Most of them will be euthanised 5 to 10 days after their arrival depending on their case and if not claimed by their owner.
Those dogs are not up for adoption via MPR. For the sake of our current dogs, MPR cant bail any of them out until we make adoptions. Even if we could afford boarding (which we cant), we want to see our current dogs find loving homes before we bring more into the program.
MPR dogs have been evaluated and proven to have good disposition and stable temperament. They have been socialized, are receiving training and most of them are housebroken and crate trained.
When a MPR dog finds a good home, it makes room in our program to rescue a shelter dog such as the ones below.
By opening your home to a MPR dog, you are saving TWO LIVES!
Once we bring in a new shelter dog in the program we can then proceed with proper temperament evaluation, proper training and socialization.
Please... don't breed or buy while shelter animals die...
No adoption on the spot unless application has been approved prior to event - Please contact us if you want to know which dog will be attending the event.
Boarding is a life-saving option for the few lucky dogs we can afford to help that way, but we cant do it unless we receive financial assistance from people like you.
We have several programs available. Every penny counts! Become a Helping Hand
As it is, we can't afford helping anymore dogs until our boarding dogs are in foster care. In the meantime, our boarding dogs are in desperate need of foster care. Not only is boarding very expensive, but living in a cage is hard for any dog as sociable as a Pit Bull.
Boarding is a life-saving opportunity for dogs that have no other options. For dogs that came from a difficult situation, boarding is often a step up in life. But boarding needs to be a temporary solution. In order to find a home, our rescue dogs need to learn how to be well-behaved family companions. You can make a difference... PLEASE open your heart and home for one of the sweethearts. They desperately need YOU! Become a Foster Home

Miss U is a very friendly gal, playful, outgoing and full of spirit. She loves to cuddle and to give kisses. She has bursts of energy when "butt-runs" take the best out of her, followed by intense couch potato moments. Typical Pit bull....
Miss U is a very petite girl, about 40 lbs or so. Compact and well built. Her small size makes her a great cuddling partner. Add to this the fact that she is very loving and affectionate and you have the perfect companion.
Miss Universe is a great representative of the breed, inside and out. While she has a wonderful disposition with people however, we believe she would love to be an only pet so she can soak up all the loving.
Make your home and family complete this Easter by welcoming Miss U into your family!
This month, MPR wants to recognize the hard work and dedication of Rachel Ewing, a much appreciated member of our group. Rachel began as a foster home for Blockhead (now JayDee) whom she adopted in 2006. Since then, she's provided hospice care for numerous MPR dogs while they recuperated from various illnesses and has always opened her home to MPR dogs when MPR has had urgent situations and the dogs had no where else to go.
Rachel has worked many events; in addition to helping take care of the dogs in boarding, being one of MPR's photographers, helping rescue dogs even in bad weather, and assisting on homechecks, local and long distance!
Not only all that, but she has even provided her home as a storage unit for MPR supplies and has hosted a Garage sale for MPR last summer. It doesn't stop there ... she's also our secretary's secretary helping to keep us all organized and on track!
Rachel does an awesome job managing everything and is always willing to help wherever MPR has the greatest need. We just don't know what we would do without her. Rachel's dedication to MPR doesn't go unnoticed.
Rachel ... your caring, hard work and commitment are such an asset to MPR and the dogs. We are so very fortunate and thankful to have you on board. From the bottom of our hearts ... thank you!

Hey all,
Just wanted to update everyone about Danni (Panda). She has been getting great report cards at Pete and Mac's. She enjoys leading their pack through games like follow the leader cuz she has the toy and is Queen of the mountain. When she plays Queen of the mountain she enjoys barking orders down on the kingdom. I've been trying to teach her to sing with some success although she isn't as musically talented as Brute. While no one is around she enjoys listening to classical, 40s and 50s era music. Newer music tends to perturb the herd.
We sure did get lucky with Danni, she is my little princess.
Just wanted to send you a little update on lil Oliver (Jupiter) and the family...
We are all doing really great and can't wait for the summer coming up. Oliver loves to go outisde on walks and even runs (brisk walks for him, runs for me) He has a little life jacket waiting for him for summer for boating and the pond we have near the house. His mamma has been letting him sleep on the bed when I'm not there...she just spoils him to death! But he knows his place in HIS bed when I'm home. Some nights I have to go out of town when I enlist a soldier. We also got a new fish, Oliver was so confused at the tank when we got it, but he's come to terms with the water sound now.
Aaron (my Son/Oliver's big brother) is crawling everywhere and walking around holding things and Oliver is always up his butt...just in case he leaves a trail of cheerios...which he often does! :) They are so cute together. Trixie (his big sister and brindle pit/boxer mix) comes to the house every few weeks for a visit and they play ALL DAY!! They only take breaks to breathe, eat/drink, and eat bones...Trixie's always trying to steal his though.
I hope all is well with MPR and look forward to maybe getting to come down that way this summer for vacation. I enclosed some pics of all of us.
Best of Wishes, Shane

LAGRANGE — Churubusco's volleyball team fell to Prairie Heights Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers defeated the Lady Eagles in four games by scores of 20-25, 25-13, 25-20 and 25-20.
"We came out strong, serving tough and passing well to take the first set," said Churubusco Volleyball Head Coach Trinda Goings.
Even though the Lady Eagles lost two narrow games in three and four, Goings said the team never quit.
"(We) fell short, but battled with scrappy court play — never quitting," Goings said.
Offensively, Goings touted the efforts of Caylee Knafel and Shyenne Greve.

Micro-reticulation in the grain??
A) How are your temperature controls holding up during processing? Are you certain that you are holding the temperature to within 1 deg. C. from the time you pour in the first water till the time you hang it up to dry?
B) How are you storing the film from before the time it is exposed until it is finished processing? Can you be sure that the film is stored in stable temperature conditions from the time it is exposed until it is finally processed?
Not an authoritative answer but that's my guess...

On Tuesday, state health department auditors in Arizona selected 97 collectives to receive operating licenses in the state through a random lottery system.
Over 400 applicants had put their names in the running to receive a license in 68 of the state's "community health analysis areas." Each of the additional 29 areas only received one applicant, as they are areas with lower populations of medical marijuana patients and may not seem as favorable to shop owners.
Unique to Arizona, the approved locations of the collectives are not available to the general public. Instead, a list of collectives will only be given to the over 30,000 registered patients in the state's medical marijuana program.
According to Health Director Will Humble, shops in Arizona could be open for business as soon as the end of August. He expects that other applicants may face significant delays in opening because they still have to secure leases, inventory and security systems. These collectives may not be open for patients until Spring 2013.
While collective owners and medical marijuana supporters are happy with the progress being made with the state's medical marijuana program, others are trying to stop collectives from opening.
Last week, 13 state attorneys wrote a letter to Governor Jan Brewer asking that she halt the program, as it would be putting state employees at risk of violating federal law. Brewer, reflecting on last year's court ruling that collectives must open, respectfully told the attorneys that collectives would indeed open in the state.
Additionally, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery has launched an effort to ensure that collectives do not open in the state. He has promised to prosecute all medical marijuana collectives that open in the state.
Montgomery also announced on Tuesday that he is working toward getting a court ruling that would eliminate Arizona's voter approved medical marijuana program all togther. Should he actually succeed, collectives would not be allowed to open and patients would no longer be able to legally grow, smoke, or possess marijuana. He will be seeking out a trial judge to rule that the state's medical marijuana law is preempted by the Controlled Substances Act. The CSA is the federal law which states that it is a crime to possess or sell marijuana.
Montgomery explained that, "Once I get that ruling, what I'm going to then do is I'm going to turn around and issue guidance to law enforcement agencies within Maricopa County that medical marijuana cards are no longer a defense to the personal possession, and that we will move forward and prosecute those cases."
So, 97 collective owners now know where their shops will be located and that they will be issued licenses from the state to operate. Patients are gaining the peace of mind that they will soon have simpler, safer access to their medicine. But how long will this last? Will Montgomery indeed put the kibosh on all collectives, despite previous court rulings? The future of Arizona's medical marijuana program is unclear. One thing that is clear is that the medical marijuana controversy continues in yet another state, muddling the waters for patients and shop owners alike.

New Orleans superstar du jour Trombone Shorty is rising fast with his hard-hitting Backatown CD. Click here to read my review, as published in Relix mag. Or see the full text below.
Trombone Shorty, Backatown (Verve Forecast)
"Supafunkrock" is the name that Trombone Shorty gives his engaging blend of brass band blasts, metal guitar and deep grooves, a sound that the New Orleans native has lately ridden to appearances as himself in HBOs Treme series.
The label is apt, as the virtuoso trombonist/trumpeter and his Orleans Avenue band demonstrate on their debut studio album. Shorty taps ex-boss Lenny Kravitz for background vocals and acid-washed guitar on catchy slow-funk tune "Something Beautiful," is joined by fellow Louisiana singer Marc Broussard on the politically minded "Right to Complain" and has legendary New Orleans composer-pianist Allen Toussaint sit in on the latter's classic "On Your Way Down."
It's all Shorty elsewhere, from opening stomper "Hurricane Season" to the atmospheric title track to raucous closer "928 Horn Jam."

Microsoft Windows Vista Update for Small Business
Release Candidate More Stable, Pricing Set, DNS Issue Looms
by Keith R. Wheeler
As the buzz surrounding the next version of Windows begins to swell prior to release, a full-scale release candidate is being tested by thousands of users around the world.
Windows Vista build 5536, or Release Candidate 1 (RC1)
is now available to Microsoft testing partners. The initial reviews seem to be favorable for the most part.
Confidence in Windows Vista RC1 schedule
Pricing set for Vista
Questions remain about IP network compatibility
With a more stable release of Vista making the rounds, the inevitable discussion regarding the actual ship date of Vista is quieting. The pressure is still on for Microsoft to work out all of the bugs still being found in RC1 as quickly as possible. Microsoft has announced a delivery date of November of this year for Windows Vista for business customers through its volume licensing program. The retail release is actually set for January of 2007. For a version to be available by the end of November, it would be logical to expect the final code to be released to manufacturing facilities at least a few weeks before shipping. That doesn't leave much time for Microsoft to make significant changes to the new operating system.
Since most small businesses don't use Microsoft's Volume Licensing Agreement to purchase their operating system software, the January launch date is the one to follow. Waiting a couple of extra months to get Vista shouldn't negatively affect the small business community as it's considered wise to let the kinks get worked out of a new Microsoft release before upgrading.
Pricing for Windows Vista has now been published by Microsoft. The version of Vista most likely to be used in small businesses is, naturally, Vista Business. Its pricing is set at $299 for a new version and $199 for the upgrade from Windows XP. The other version which may find its way to some small business will be Vista Ultimate (due to its advanced networking and group policy capabilities) whose new version will be available for $399 while the upgrade from XP is priced at $259.
Small business computing users should remain aware that Vista has significant hardware needs. It may make the most sense to order Vista when purchasing new hardware rather than trying to upgrade existing systems to the new operating system.
On a more technical note, Vista incorporates compatibility with the more advanced IP addressing system IPv6. However, it still will be using the current version, IPv4, for the vast majority of internet requests. Each time a computer needs to access a site on the internet, a request is made to domain name servers (DNS). There are some pundits speculating that with Vista users making two requests of the DNS, since it will try on IPv4 and IPv6, that there will be a system-wide performance hit. Many experts don't believe that this will actually be a noticeable slow-down, if it even occurs at all. A point that needs to be made centers around the fact that at some point in time, IPv6 needs to be the primary standard. It's hard to imagine that taking place without Microsoft Windows being a part of the transition. Besides, not everyone is going to make the upgrade to Vista at the same time (even if that is Microsoft's grand dream).

Durban North Sports Teams:
The Riverside Hockey Club is situated at the Riverside Sports Club at 12 Radar Drive.
Riverside Hockey Club primarily originated in the course of 2010 when the Durban North Hockey Club changed its name to associate the hockey club with the increasingly popular Riverside Sports Club.
Durban North Hockey Club itself was born in 2000 from the merger of the Glenwood Old Boys and Crusaders Hockey clubs.
Prior to the union both clubs possessed a proud history, with Glenwood men's and ladies teams featuring in the premier league from the late 1950s. Crusaders hockey saw a men's team in the premier league in 1989, with the ladies being promoted to the topmost level in 1992. Both clubs won Premier League titles in their zenith.
Riverside Hockey Club has produced players at the peak level with a lot of mens' and womens' representatives of the South African mens' and womens' teams. Marcia Marescia (existing women's side captain), Kerry Bee, Gillian Daniels, Michele MacNaughton, Jacqui Geyser, and Caryn Bentley have been representatives for the South African ladies team, while Ken Forbes, Gregg Clark, David Staniforth, Kevin MacNaughton, Wayne Phillips, Lloyd Norris-Jones, Bruce Grant, Mike Botha, Marvin Harper, Lloyd Madsen, and Tim Drummond have made appearances the men at either indoor or outdoor hockey. The latter five hockey players are current players of the Riverside 1st squad.
The juniors have obtained comparable achievements, with the hockey club producing SA hockey players at the under 14, 16, 18 and 21 levels yearly.
At the moment, they continue this proud history, with all 10 of their teams (five men and five ladies) – all of which play in the KZN Premier Leagues as well as junior and masters (over 35) teams.
Riverside Hockey Club caters for players age 5 – 60+ and it is at present the only club in South Africa with 2 astro turfs.
With the club's excellent junior programme, it's anticipated that the roll of honour listed above will expand rapidly within the next ten years.
Tuesday and Thursday nights see both the men's and ladies teams practising on cutting-edge astro turf. New players are always welcome!
For enrolment enquiries, call Network Support on (031) 569 6650 during business hours and ask for the helpdesk or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for Senior Hockey matters, email@example.com for Junior Hockey matters, firstname.lastname@example.com for coaching matters.

VIEWS: 11 PAGES: 1 CATEGORY: Music POSTED ON: 2/13/2013 Traditional Copyright
Benefits of learning music at an early age ~ Music may aid in the development of speech. This is because simple songs teach children how language is constructed. Children seem to learn best when music is experienced through their bodies - thus a combination of music and movement can greatly enhance the acquisition of language. ~ Music helps children learn maths. The learning of music emphasises thinking in space and time. When children learn rhythm, they are learning ratios, fractions and proportions. ~ Music enhances social skills. Children who take part in music develop higher levels of social cohesion and understanding of themselves and others, and the emotional aspect of musical activities seems to be beneficial for developing social skills like empathy. - Music enhances your child's intellectual development. Dr Frances Rauscher from the University of Wisconsin in the US says music helps to improve children's ability to reason abstractly, by actually strengthening neural firing patterns in the brain that are relevant to both musical and spatial cognition. ~ Music encourages self-expression and self-confidence. As a non-verbal language, music can convey a complexity of emotions and offers a means of expression to a shy and diffident child who finds it difficult to communicate through speech. Your baby's growth and development in the womb is a remarkable experience. From around the fifth month, your baby's hearing is fully developed and his newfound ability to recognise voices and sounds in the environment is fairly quickly established. Recent research into the effects of prenatal music stimulation varies greatly. Several early-childhood researchers believe there is no concrete evidence to support the theory that music stimulation prior to birth will result in higher intelligence levels in the future. Other researchers maintain just the opposite, arguing that studies reveal babies to have an innate ability to recognise their mothers voices and may further respond to familiar sounds and music played to them while in the womb.

I sincerely love Oregon, but I agree that we should do away with the song. We need one that reflects the values of our culture, and I can't support anything that celebrates the free men who reduced Native Americans to reservations. Fairest and the best? Hardly.

Horror stories abound about trial lawyers who have litigation expenses escalate out of control in their cases. Too often are heard cries of: "We had to settle the case because the costs of continuing the case were just too high" or "We have already spent so much on the case, we better obtain a huge verdict or our client will net nothing" or "The costs of the case were killing us, so we decided to drop the case." The lesson to be learned from such situations is for the trial lawyer to control the litigation costs, not have the litigation costs control the case.
There is no escaping the reality of the rapid rise of the costs of litigation in today's environment. This is especially true in personal injury, medical malpractice, and products liability cases. Consequently, it is absolutely incumbent on the trial lawyer to establish a case expense budget at the commencement of every case. Indeed, performing the budgetary analysis at the outset may very well lead to the conclusion that it makes no economic sense to even take the case. Establishing a case expense budget forces the trial lawyer to make choices – choices to expend monies for those items most likely to lead to maximizing the recovery for the client and eliminating items that are less crucial to a successful result for the client.
By far and away, the most costly components of a case are expert witness fees. With experts increasingly charging exorbitant hourly fees, there has evolved an epidemic of high cost litigation that affects virtually every case. This environment dictates that the trial lawyer make decisions, not only regarding the number of experts to hire in a case, but also whether or not to take the depositions of the opponent's experts. Foregoing the deposition of opposing experts can result in saving tens of thousands of dollars - dollars often much better used elsewhere to further the client's case.
The most efficient tool for a trial lawyer to use to make the critical decisions about case expenses is a focus group. If, for example, a group of jurors confirms that expert testimony is not important to them, then the trial lawyer can make his or her decision to exclude experts with some confidence. Likewise, if a group of jurors indicates that a simple timeline of events would be invaluable in finding in favor of your client, the trial lawyer knows that the most effective demonstrative evidence he or she can develop actually costs nothing. It may seem ironic that in an article about expense budgeting, the use of a focus group is advocated. However, a focus group provides the best mechanism to decide what expenses to make and to cut out, and the total cost of the focus group is often less then taking a single deposition of an opponent's expert.
The trial lawyer should formulate a case expense budget for every case. Failure to do so can be disastrous for the lawyer and his or her client.

On the heels of Congress doubling some student loan interest rates, Americans appear to be putting less value on a college degree. According to the latest COUNTRY Financial Security Index®survey, just half of Americans say a college education is still a good financial investment. This is down seven points from last year and a 31-point drop from 2008, when the recession was in full swing.
College is still a good financial investment
The impact of student loan debt on financial freedom could be one reason confidence in a college degree is eroding. One in five surveyed have student loan debt and 55 percent say their education loans are affecting decisions such as getting married, buying a home and/or saving for retirement. Postponing major life decisions could be due to the fact that nearly four in ten Americans (39 percent) say it will take them 10 years or more to pay off their loan debt.
"It's disappointing to see Americans devaluing a college degree. It's clear that the Great Recession is still rippling through the U.S. economy, now shaking our confidence in higher education. But as much as rising tuition costs and student loans tarnish the perception of this investment, having a college degree remains an important differentiator in the job market," says Joe Buhrmann, manager of financial security support at COUNTRY Financial. "To balance college education costs with other life decisions, create a financial plan to help you track your finances. Then map out that plan with your loan counselor so you can make regular, manageable payments."
For an infographic on how Americans feel about the value of a college degree and rising student loan debt, visitwww.countryfinancialsecurityblog.com.
Varying Approaches to Debt Repayment
When it comes to actually paying off debt, habits vary among Americans.
Buhrmann offers the following tips for those paying off student loan debt:
Larger Impact of Student Loan Debt
Looking at the larger impact of increasing student loan debt, 59 percent of Americans blame the crushing weight of it, in part, for the U.S. economy's anemic recovery. Adding to this concern is the fact that nearly three in four (74 percent) expect the amount of student loan debt to be higher ten years from now.
The COUNTRY Financial Security Index®
Since 2007, the COUNTRY Financial Security Index has measured Americans' sentiments of their personal financial security. The COUNTRY Index also delves deeper into individual personal finance topics to better inform Americans about the issues impacting their finances. Survey data, videos and analysis are available at www.countryfinancialsecurityblog.com and on Twitter at @FinanceSecure.
The COUNTRY Index was created by COUNTRY Financial and is compiled by Rasmussen Reports, LLC, an independent research firm, based on a national telephone and online survey of at least 3,000 Americans.
The margin of sampling error for a survey based on this many interviews is approximately +/- 2 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Blogger Emily Jackson Reveals Her Style Inspiration and Shows Off Her Must-Have Pieces
One of our favorite blogs has a new face and a new name! We are super excited to be partnering with Emily Jackson, the ever-stylish blogger behind Ivory Lane (formerly The Jacksons blog) to bring Emily's timeless style to Loop du Loop and help celebrate her re-launch.
We caught up with Emily — who is sweet as can be! — to talk about how she makes it all look so effortless when she has an 18-month-old running around, where she gets her inspiration, and her style advice for moms. Emily also rounded up her absolute go-to pieces in her closet for us, creating adorable looks around them!
What inspired the change of your blog's name?
Emily Jackson: Originally I started blogging as a way to connect with family and friends. As my blog has grown in popularity and following, I want to expand its focus to cover more topics. I love including my family, style, beauty and the occasional recipe. I decided after much thought that I wanted to change my blog name to a destination or a place that I wanted to visit everyday. That's where my new blog name "Ivory Lane" comes in.
What is the significance of 'Ivory Lane'?
Ivory is my daughter, Capri's, middle name, and it's also my husband, Taylor's, middle name. Lane takes on significance because growing up, I lived on a street name that included the word "lane." I want my blog to be a destination, a place that you want to come and check out everyday. I want it to feel, warm, welcoming, and hopefully offer a little inspiration.
Do you have a style mantra, and if so, what is it?
I recall from a past interview (I can't remember with whom) the advice to "BE YOU." I have always remembered that and I try to live by it.
How has being a mom changed your style?
My style really hasn't changed since I had my baby. I have always liked functional, classic, and simple pieces that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
What's your favorite go-to pair of jeans?
J Brand stretch denim skinny jeans. They have a lot of stretch and are perfect for chasing around a very busy 18-month-old!
What people, places, or things inspire your style?
I love to look at other blogs for fashion inspiration, such as Atlantic Pacific, Wendy's Lookbook, and of course, Pink Peonies.
Where are your favorite places to score great pieces?
It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE J.Crew and Tory Burch. Some other favorites are Zara, Nordstrom, and Kate Spade.
Is there one celebrity mom whom you think has great taste?
There are actually two. Miranda Kerr and Giuliana Rancic.
What advice would you give to moms who want to infuse more style into their daily lives?
Moms should treat themselves right. A lot of times we put ourselves last after kids, husbands, and work. I really believe that as mothers we need to give ourselves a little bit of "me time." It will make us better parents, spouses, and people. As far as style goes, get some comfy jeans, and an oversized sweater with some fab flats. Add some diamond stud earrings and you are good to go with an effortlessly chic look.
Now take a look at Emily's must-have pieces — you'll want one of each for yourself!

Home :: Hardwoods Seedlings :: Hybrid Poplar 12-24" Seedlings
We offer these trees as rooted cuttings. The Hybrid Polar can bring woods to your land practically before your eyes. With its extreme growth rate, this makes a good choice for harvesting and replanting for a sustainable firewood plot. This hybrid can be harvested for firewood in 5 to 8 years. This Polar makes a fair choice for fireplace firewood due to its heat output and an excellent choice for campfire wood. Designed for fast windbreaks and displays great disease resistance. Can handle poor and moist soil conditions, but will not do well in dry areas with little moisture.

Omo Faith Oshodin
Shreds of a broken life
Pieces unfulfilled
A genius unknown
Destined to be alone
Do we cry?
Tears have been shed
Do we grieve?
Grief is the reality
Sadness lurks
Behind the cheery façade
Joy is a dream unfulfilled
Loneliness; a permanent companion
Eyes brimming with unshed tears
As the soul weeps with abandon
A square peg in a round hole
Never complete, never whole
Just plodding through
Wading through life
I want to cry
I really want to weep
Perhaps my soul will be unburdened
Freed from the pain of suppression
Please help me cry;
These unshed tears are a burden
Should I pierce my eyes with nails?
So perhaps I can bleed tears?
I want to cry….
I want to cry….
I want to cry

Monday, February 11, 2013
While we did not get the forty inches recorded in Hamden, Connecticut, two snow systems dumped nearly fifteen inches on our mountains the past few days. That, combined with enormous snowmaking over the past week, made for some great skiing and riding over the weekend. The natural snow that fell was light and dry and really not the base-building type that will make areas like Castlerock and Slide Brook excellent again. But that will change. In fact, as I write this on Monday morning we are getting some heavier snow. Six to eight inches of this will be just what the doctor ordered.
As I watched the headlights streaming down East Warren Road on Thursday evening, it was apparent that people from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York were anticipating the impact of "Nemo" (I can't believe The Weather Channel is doing this!) and getting here early. Friday turned out to be the busiest non-holiday Friday ever, and both Saturday and Sunday were even busier. Fortunately, the anticipated winds on Saturday did not show up and for most of the day only the Valley House lift was on windhold (the wind was hitting the top bullwheel in a way that was causing the chairs to sway as they came around, so our lift mechanics did not feel it safe to run). Late in the day, Northridge and Summit went on windhold, too, but overall the wind was not a problem. Skiers and riders were spread out all over the mountain and kept the lift lines flowing.
The morning powder on Saturday was terrific. I hosted twelve people for our Cabin Cat First Tracks in the Lincoln Limo and took five runs with them on the North Lynx trails beginning at 7:00 AM. We opened Castlerock for hiking mid-morning and those who hiked it early told me it was worth the adventure. We decided to allow hiking only because the cover was thin and increased skier traffic from the lift would have scraped the trails bare. Sure enough, we were not able to open Castlerock the next day because of exposed areas.
Sunday dawned a bluebird day. Bright sun, temperatures in the mid-twenties, and no wind. It is a day like this that reminds you why it is worth skiing all winter in order to be out on the mountain in the spring.
We are feeling optimistic about the weather this week. Snow showers are predicted on several days and we should be seeing some decent accumulation. By the way, we have now had more snow than all of last year. There is also the possibility of a bigger Nor'easter forming that could arrive on Saturday or Sunday. We are excited about upcoming events, too. There is a Mardi Gras party on Tuesday evening in Castlerock Pub, and we are offering a special $14 Valentine's Day all-mountain ticket. Then the Presidents Week holiday begins on Friday and it is filled with fun events for all members of the family.
Sunday was my 70th day on skis this year. With nearly half the season left, I am hoping to break my record of 115 scanned days. Our snowmakers will be resurfacing a few more trails this week, like Birch at Lincoln Peak and Lower Elbow at Mt. Ellen. After the holiday week, we will be putting down some final snow on Stein's, Snowball and Spring Fling to ensure a long spring season.
See you on the mountain. Keep thinking snow for the next two months!

Beyoncé can't seem to keep herself off the internet. First it was her glorious tumble down a set of stairs on-stage, and now it's this clip of her performing in concert and giving a nice shot of her lady bits to the audience…and us. We can't quite make out if we're seeing her actual Beyoncé breasts or a flesh colored bra. What do you see? [SOHH]

Richards. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Carrie Richards
She will rise up from the water, in the midday afternoon
Lightly vaulting from the darkness, wearing beads of jewel-toned sea
Splashing forth as if a fountain, spilling locks of brilliant gold
Wearing combs adorned with seashells, from her home deep in the cold
She has no tongue, she has no tears
She had no soul, she has no fear
No need for air, her hair is fair
Her eyes are clear with wanton lairs
She is a siren, she is an angel, she is a myth, for many seasons
Is she real, or apparition…, are we wary of her reasons?
She will stretch out her long tail, on bed of kelp-strewn sand
Soaking up the violet rays, to dry her golden strands
She bewitches with amusement, seduces with her charm
While the darting through the sailor's lust, into her captive arms
She is sometimes called illusion, and she has no given name
But she lures the souls of swarthy seamen, deep within a cage
Her origins are buried in the past, in the language of forgetting
Her repertoire of movement, and exquisite, agile form
A creature born of beauty, enchantment with a tail
Looking for her unfound love, unless it cannot be
But marry one, and she becomes...
Their own for company

Psychological Foundations of Education
Psychological Foundations focuses on the psychological underpinnings of high-level cognition and learning throughout the lifespan, particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) domains and reading: scientific reasoning, technologies that support learning, mathematical problem solving, reading, and language comprehension. Cognitive, developmental, and social approaches are implemented in diverse settings ranging from the laboratory to the classroom.
The program prepares graduates to take leadership positions as faculty, as research scientists at universities and companies, and in human service organizations, health care units, and government agencies. Graduate training combines coursework that provides a solid disciplinary grounding, advanced seminars, and an apprenticeship model where students and faculty collaborate on novel research projects.
The psychological foundations of education track is housed within the Department of Educational Psychology, which is itself housed in the College of Education and Human Development. Applicants need not hold a master's degree to apply to the doctoral program. Students are admitted to the educational psychology graduate program in the psychological foundations track for either the master of arts (M.A.) or doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) program. Please note, the PsyF track is affiliated with the Quantitative methods in education (QME) track within the department of educational psychology.

The Far East-South America trades are facing the threat of rate wars this month as carriers add significant additional capacity to an already oversupplied market, according to Alphaliner.
Asia-South America
Asia-South America
05 Jun 2015
Container ship lines are shaking up their alliances operating between Asia and the West Coast of South America.
19 Dec 2014
Carriers announced general rate increases that span into February this week, as spot rates around the globe respond to mid-December rate hikes. Drewry Maritime Research's World Container Index composite index, which measures 11 East-to-West trade lanes, jumped a cumulative 35.8 percent this week.
05 Dec 2014
Multiple container lines plan to attempt general rate increases in numerous trade lanes in December and January, although any gains achieved could be temporary as overcapacity and sluggish global demand continue.
03 Nov 2014
Canceled sailings and shrinking volumes are injecting more volatility on the Asia-east coast South America trade, Drewry says.
03 Nov 2014
The much-hyped north-south liner routes aren't living up to their billing as the future of container shipping in the new low-growth environment that followed the global financial crisis.
08 Aug 2014
Major container lines announced general rate increases taking place in mid-August through October this week.
31 Jul 2014
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. reported a sharp deterioration in its container-shipping financials for its fiscal first quarter ending on June 30th and said that rates during the remainder of its year would not recover to the degree it had projected.

My introductory remarks can be read HERE
As I mentioned in my first post, I am brand new to BibleWorks. For some time I have been of the opinion it was for people extremely competent in their original languages. This was enforced by some of my seminary professors using the software and all of them being competent in their languages. However, let me say, I was wrong! Although BibleWorks is not aimed at what I would call the "popular market," one doesn't need to be proficient in original languages in order to use it. I have undertaken Hebrew and Greek classes in seminary and have, what I would consider, an introductory grasp on Biblical languages and I have NOT been lost or overwhelmed at all! In fact, the software can be used to improve one's skills in this area. There is also an option to only use English versions if one chooses.
As for my first impressions…
- The software was very quick and easy to install.
- I am impressed by how fast BibleWorks 8 is. It takes little to no time whatsoever to open and its searches are unbelievably quick. There is no lag whatsoever with this software. [I am running Windows 7 with 4Gig Ram & an i7 Processor]
- I was a little wary when I started using the program because the layout and style appeared to be somewhat overwhelming; one might say technical. However, after watching the introductory videos as suggested in the manual I was soon impressed with the attention to detail
- The layout, once understood, make perfect sense and provides for good workflow. The 'modus-operandi' of the software is to "focus on the text" and the screen set up facilitates this process. As you can see in the picture below one begins in the "search window" and then the work flows into the "browse window" and the textual analysis is undertaken in the "analysis window". In Logos 4 one is able to arrange the workspace in a manner that best suits the user. However, in reality, BibleWorks' layout enables the user to do exactly what they need to do. Concerning layout, BibleWorks is what I would call "minimalist" and perhaps that is what helps the program to be so quick and reliable…
- My immediate comparison with Logos 4 relates to aesthetics. BibleWorks 8 is not as aesthetically pleasing as L4. However, like a trophy wife, good looking can also mean high maintenance! In my opinion, BibleWorks is very workman like. It is setup to work and work it does! This is a bonus.
- The getting started videos were a huge help and well worth the hour or so needed to watch them all and try out the suggestions. Accompanying the getting started videos is the study guides which links to different aspects of the program. Some of these also come with short tutorial videos. As a new user these have been invaluable!
In tomorrow's post I will share some of the questions that have arisen since I began using BibleWorks 8.
More anon.

Kanye West has reportedly met with the creators of Angry Birds to talk about… Angry Yeezy? Apparently the most popular video game of all time and the most famous artiste of all time (yeah, we wouldn't argue. Just go with it), sat down in London last night to have a chin-wag about how they could possibly collaborate in the future. And now we're wondering what in heaven's name could be happening that could bring the two forces together. A Kanye West mini game? Will it be "Blame Game," where the objective is to attribute guilt in a Cluedo style mystery? Or maybe "Gold Digger," where you aim to extort as much money from your opponents as possible? Will it be a simple music making game, where you play off against others in real time, acting as a savvy way for Kanye to identify new talent? Or will it be a mash up of Angry Birds and Ye — we're just imagining Kanye's face soaring across an animated screen, annihilating little green pigs while "Runaway" plays as the soundtrack.

Sometimes when there's a lot to talk about in the world of Canucks hockey, our employers at the Vancouver Sun will send the in-house video team outside to get some fan insight on the chatter of the day, and considering the inflammatory events of the Canucks' home opener, Sunday night was one such time. Sun videographer Mark Yuen — director of viral sensation "Call the Union" — was dispatched to Rogers Arena to capture fan sentiment regarding the Canucks' goaltending controversy.
But instead, Yuen captured something a little more unique. During an interview with a Canucks fan in an orange tuque, a family of three passed by. The interview was interrupted when the father, who was pushing a stroller with a kid in it and obviously didn't have his eyes on the road, walked the stroller directly into a lamppost.Continue Reading —›

SOUTH WHITLEY — South Whitley's Clerk-Treasurer Bob Gould reported on changes which have taken place in the clerk's office last week during his report earlier this week to the town council.
"We have a new deputy-clerk in the office and her name is Pam Waller and she is doing a great job," Gould said. "Jerri Bollinger is a new (office) staff member who has been here (in the clerk's office) in the past for 30 years and she sat down and hit the desk running on Monday, cleaning up meter books and getting correct meter numbers entered."
According to Gould, Bollinger will work approximately 20 hours per week once office records are cleaned up. Bollinger's official title is assistant deputy-clerk.
"Jerri will work 16 hours a week on Mondays and Tuesdays once clean-up is completed," Gould said. "Jerri is now working 20 hours a week."
Waller's wages will be increased to reflect her new position, along with Bollinger's wages to be determined at the next scheduled meeting.
"Pam has shown to do a very good job and is capable of doing it (deputy-clerk position)," council president Tony Starkey said.

Bow hunters can take aim in the City of Rock Island after the Rock Island City Council approved deer hunting within city limits.
"I enjoy seeing the deer and so forth, but there's a time when they should be thinned out," said Vern Cook.
In Cook's back yard is Saukie Golf Course, one of the potential sites for archery hunting in Rock Island. The past few years he's seen an increase in deer. They're eating his plants, but that's not his only concern.
"The biggest concern is in the streets with the traffic, people hitting them and it's dangerous and they're just getting to be too many of them," said Cook.
At the Rock Island City Council meeting Thursday, October 24, 2013, only one council member voted against the plan.
"I agree that there's an issue that obviously we are developing an over population of deer, but to me it's also kind of a dangerous situation we're putting ourselves into in terms of allowing hunting in our city limits," said Alderwoman Katie Holte.
The vote of 5-1 did not sit well with everyone at the meeting.
"I'm furious. I'm furious," said Sarah Jacoby, "The idea of my kids riding their bikes by areas where there's going to be hunters, scares me," she added.
"It's very limited in as safe a manner as we can possibly make it," said William Nelson, Director of Parks and Recreation.
Nelson says the proposed hunting sites will need to be at least three acres, with each hunter having a minimum of five acres to themselves. Hunters will need to get a permit and take a proficiency test before they are able to hunt.
"I do not take comfort because somebody is licensed. People make mistakes, people error and one slip, one, somebody gets jarred," said Jacoby.
Hunting could occur on a maximum of eight sites. Proposed sites include Saukie Golf Course, Highland Springs, cemeteries, and private property. Owners of the property would make the final decision about allowing hunters on their land.

Update on Huron-Manistee National Forest Court Case
As you might recall, sportsmen and snowmobilers across Michigan overwhelmed the USDA Forest Service with more than 9,000 comments on the proposal to ban gun hunting and snowmobiling within Primitive and Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized areas on the Huron-Manistee National Forests. This proposal was prompted by the result of a legal decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Meister v. USDA Forest Service, Case No 09171.
As an update to this saga, the Huron-Manistee is still in the process of developing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) that presents alternatives related to snowmobile use and firearm use in Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Management Areas and firearm use in or near Primitive Areas. They anticipate that the draft SEIS will be available for review in September 2011. Another 90-day public comment period begins once the notice is published in the Federal Register and based on those comments, the team will complete the final SEIS which will include a preferred alternative. This document will then have to go back to the court for final approval and will still be subject to appeal. The Forest Supervisor anticipates completing this process in early 2012.
MUCC will post a link to the draft SEIS as soon as it is available, along with our analysis of the document and how to comment on whatever they have suggested as a proposed action.
But just as a reminder, as people are prepping for the fall hunting seasons and applying for and buying licenses now, nothing has changed with the allowed uses in the Huron Manistee Forest as a result of this case up to this point, nor will it until the whole process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding his process, you can contact MUCC at email@example.com or the Huron-Manistee National Forest's public affairs officer, Ken Arbogast at 231-775-5023, ext. 8726 or email@example.com.
