Bill breeds dissension among deer fans
CORPUS CHRISTI - A couple of bills making their way through the Texas House and Senate threaten to drive a wedge between hunters and split loyalties between organizations.
At the center of this debate are issues of fair game chase, property rights, animal and human health and free trade in the big time business of deer breeding and trophy whitetail hunting. And often the arguments involve conflicting views on hunting ethics and how all this fits into market-driven practices.
This further divides and defines the Texas Deer Association and the Texas Wildlife Association.
The Texas Wildlife Association, through House Bill 2433 and Senate Bill 1412, has proposed a 60-day release rule for hunting pen-raised deer. The association's leadership said this is about health and safety as well as preserving the state's hunting heritage.
On their faces, parts of the legislation appear to be an attempt to make the venison we eat safer by requiring a longer waiting period between administering drugs to pen-raised deer and releasing those deer into the field, ultimately for human consumption.
On this point we have dueling sciences. The Texas Deer Association offers a study by the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. The tests involving three common drugs used by deer breeders showed no harmful levels of residue remaining in deer after 11 days. TDA funded the study that was designed and conducted under the direction of Texas A&M Associate Professor Donald Davis and his multiagency team of investigators.
Gary Joiner, executive director of the Texas Wildlife Association, said the scope and conclusion of the study was limited by the number and type of drugs tested. He said the jury is still out on the antibiotic tetracycline, which was not included in the study.
Veterinarian Dan McBride, who spoke in Austin in favor of the rule change, said tetracycline can linger in deer tissue longer than some other drugs, depending on dosage and how frequently it is injected or consumed. McBride provided no scientific evidence of harm, but suggested the possibility.
Currently Texas is one of three states to require a 10-day waiting period between the time a buck with full antlers is released from its pen or holding pasture and when it's available to be shot by a hunter. The rule has been in place for about 80 years. Other states have no such limitation, making Texas one of the strictest.
This rule apparently was designed to guard against the put-and-take or canned hunt, which refers to the practice of killing an animal ostensibly for sport too soon after release from a pen or otherwise before it has acclimated to its new habitat.
Depending on how it's defined, canned deer hunting in Texas is rare — some say extremely rare — and certainly abhorrent to most hunters. The cultural debate over what constitutes a canned hunt is an emotionally charged one, fraught with self-righteous indignation, conflicting sensibilities and fear of government overreach.
Part of TWA's campaign involves an attempt to stave off the perception that Texas promotes canned hunting or that the practice is pervasive here. Some believe the spread of this perception could lead to an overall decline in deer hunting for profit on both sides of the fence.
Deer hunting in Texas generates more than $1.2 billion in annual revenue, according to a recent report from Southwick Associates titled "Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation." The deer breeding industry represents about $650 million of that.
The Texas Deer Association does not view the 10-day rule or the perception issue as an economic threat. Obviously the organization is invested in the commerce of deer hunting and strives to promote it. Vocal opponents such as Duval County deer breeder Hugo Berlanga view this legislation as a solution searching for a problem.
As you can imagine, the debate has invited much hyperbole, dramatics and dissension.
A representative of the Texas Wildlife Association while testifying before the Texas House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism said hunting a mature pen-raised buck 11 days after its release doesn't feel right, look right or taste right.
Few would argue this point. The question is whether deer breeders who don't want to chop off antlers should be forced to put a disoriented deer's health in jeopardy by releasing it in summer.
Current law requires deer breeders saw off a portion of a buck's antlers if the animal is released within 10 days of a season start or during the season. Clayton Wolf, director of the Wildlife Division at Texas Parks & Wildlife, said more than 90 percent of bucks released by Texas breeders are done so before the deadline, I assume with antlers intact. Wolf said his records suggest this percentage represents about 4,000 bucks annually.
Breeders I spoke with say releasing a buck with a full rack rarely has anything to do with selling that deer to a hunter soon thereafter during the Managed Land Deer Permit season, which precedes the regular November gun season. Noted wildlife biologist Macy Ledbetter said most hunts are not scheduled well into October, when temperatures drop. And most bucks released by Texas breeders are three and a half years old or younger, according to Wolf's records.
Ledbetter said leaving the antlers intact on these bucks is less stressful on the animal and provides needed protection in their new environment. These so called stocker bucks generally are released to enhance genetics within the herd, and not hunted for years. It would be a shame to kill a quality buck before it's fully mature, he said.
I imagine some are killed for profit within the first season — perhaps even within a month of release — but the state does not keep track of this, Wolf said.
The Texas Deer Association calls the 60-day proposal unnecessary and unreasonable. Members such as Berlanga and Ledbetter suggests this rule change is purely business related.
Several outfitters who offer deer hunts for money but don't use a breeding service, including TWA President Greg Simons, told the House committee they have ethical and philosophical conflicts with certain hunting practices involving breeders. When asked, one low-fence outfitter said the availability of big-antlered scientifically raised bucks has devalued his wild stock. Another said his bucks simply cannot compete with the trophies that breeders produce. This is where the issue of hunting heritage seems to collide with technology and old fashion competition. Can the three coexist?
At the same Austin hearing a representative of the Quality Deer Management Association revealed the results of a survey that indicate the hunting public places a lower value on pen-raised bucks compared with their natural counterparts. Sounds like a marketing opportunity.
Another proposed law would require all pen-raised deer to be fitted with a clearly visible, lifelong ear tag that identifies its unnatural origin. This would prevent unsuspecting hunters from being fooled into thinking the high-fenced animal in their rifle sight is wild, said a spokesman from the Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society.
This also is being touted as a legitimate safety issue. Reliable identification helps track a deer's movements as they're bought and sold, while allowing health officials to trace the origins of disease.
Naysayers insist this is another market-driven proposal aimed at maintaining or establishing a negative stigma on scientifically bred deer. Opponents of the measure said an electronic tag or microchip would adequately address the health and safety issues, but TWA rejects this alternative because a chip is not obvious to the hunter.
Ledbetter and Berlanga are joined by longtime local deer breeder Marty Berry in saying these rule changes are an attempt to thwart the thriving deer breeding industry. They say pushing back the release date on bucks to a time when their body weights are low, range conditions are poor and Texas is at its hottest would be a death sentence to many deer. And they say it would severely limit or kill a business worth millions to the Texas economy.
Berlanga suggested instead of forcing deer breeders across the state to release bucks in summer, why not design a release schedule that takes into account regional weather and habitat conditions.
"This is about a bunch of elitists trying to limit our choices, killing thousands of deer in the process and decreasing hunting opportunities," Berlanga said. "There's no cases of people getting sick so where is this coming from? They're putting a hit on the competition. If you wanted to kill a billion dollar industry this is how you'd do it."
Among all the noise, who out there still believes whitetail deer is a public resource that belongs to the people of Texas?

Maho Kowase
May 22, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- Both Georgia singles players advanced on the first day of the NCAA singles tournament in Urbana, Ill. Sixth-ranked Lauren Herring and 19th-ranked Maho Kowase each won their respective matches in three sets.
Herring, who is making her first career appearance in the NCAA singles tournament, topped Northwestern's No. 57 Kate Turvy, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. The Greenville, N.C. native overcame being broken early in the third set to advance to the second round. She will take on No. 27 Zoe Scandalis of Southern California tomorrow. Earlier today, Scandalis beat No. 48 Brittany Sanders of Notre Dame 6-2, 6-1.
"I came out the first set and played pretty solid," Herring said. "In the second set, I think [Turvy] settled in and I got away from being aggressive. I was happy with the way I was able to step up in third set and hopefully tomorrow is new day and I'm able to be more consistent."
Kowase also advanced to the second round, outlasting UC-Irvine's No. 85 Kristina Smith 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3. Smith had a match point in the second set, and led the second set tiebreak 5-2, but Kowase fought back to force a tiebreaker and eventually win it, 7-5. The Georgia junior will square off with No. 4 Christina Sanchez-Quintanar tomorrow. Sanchez-Quintanar beat No. 55 Courtney Collins of Memphis, 6-1, 6-3.
"I'm happy with the way that I played," said Kowase. "It was a good match and I'm looking forward to playing tomorrow in the second round."
"[Smith] had a match point in the second set and then led in the tiebreak so I'm so glad that I came back to win," Kowase said. "I'm just working on getting ready for the next round."
In addition to the second round of singles play, junior Kate Fuller and freshman Silvia Garcia will begin play in the NCAA doubles tournament Thursday. Times for both will be released tomorrow morning, but the doubles matches will not begin before 2:30 p.m. ET.
Georgia has had three NCAA individual singles champions: Lisa Spain in 1984, Angela Lettiere in 1994 and Chelsey Gullickson in 2010. Shannan McCarthy was the runner-up in 1992. No Georgia pairing has ever won the NCAA doubles championship, but Bulldog teams have reached the finals four times, including Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist in 2012.
As a team, Georgia (24-4) advanced to the quarterfinals before falling to No. 12 Stanford on Sunday afternoon, 4-1.

New iPad power indicator reportedly two hours too fast
According to some recent reports, the new iPad battery level indicator seems to shows a full tank two hours and ten minutes before it's actually charged to full capacity. This news means, contrary to appearances, it really takes about 9 hours to get a full charge from scratch. The tests were run by DisplayMate, the fine folks that analyzed the display on the new iPad.
If accurate, this would be the second time an iOS indicator was found to be misreporting state. During the antennagate controversy, Apple admitted that the cellular signal indicator on the iPhone 4 was showing an erroneously high cell signals, and issued an update to fix it.
However, it seems that misreporting battery state is something that a lot of tablets actually suffer from, since the power status is figured out through an algorithm which can have flaws in it.
Despite having a higher-capacity battery, the new iPad's power adapter is the same as the iPad 2, so it's natural to expect charging to take longer; odds are most of us were going to be charging new iPads overnight anyway, when an extra two hours isn't going to make a huge difference.
How much power does your iPad have before you plug it in at night? Will an extra two hours charging time throw off your routine with the new iPad?

New iPad power indicator reportedly two hours too fast
I do not think that is the issue. A lot of people do not charge their iPad until they get in bed, and then they are off to work or school when they wake up. The heavy use throughout the day might kill the battery, yet they do not have 9 hours to charge it.
That's often how I use my current iPad. Heck I sleep with mine next to me on the bed most nights and use it first thing when I wake up to check email, read the news and so forth.
I rarely charge mine overnight, I usually plug it in to charge while I'm in the shower and having breakfast, etc. (it usually doesn't require a full charge). Will be interesting to see if the new one (which just departed HK enroute to me early next week, yippee!) creates a problem with overly long recharge requirements.
Yes, some people, many people actually, will use their iPads untill they fall asleep and right away as they wake up?
Want a scenario? Reading eBooks. You read a book until you fall asleep and you're going to continue to read it in the morning... on the... throne... so to speak.
Plus people love their iPads, they will use them as much as they can, at least in the beginning.
Yeah, but you have to keep in mind that a 0% charge isn't going to be in sync with your bed time. It's not like if you go to bed at 9pm, that's the exact time the iPad will reach 0%. It's more likely that it will die during the even in which you would put it on charge well before bed time. So it should fully charge overnight unless you are too obsessed to put the thing down to charge when it dies and let it rest a bit.
The iPhone 4S does this, as well, although it only takes another 20 minutes or so to reach full carte after 100% is displayed. I don't think this is a mistake. The iPad is designed to do a trickle charge after it reaches 100%
I charge mine at night, also turning it off. Sleep at 12:30-1:00am to 7am, 100% in the morning. Turning it off seems to do the trick.
Even if your at 50% battery which is about 5 hours last, you would not want to not charge your device over sleep time, because if anything I learned, is that chargning it is a nightmare, I confused the iPhone cable with the iPad, and while using it, it doesn't charge, so i was stuck 3 hours at 19%.
It takes the whole night to charge up, so even when its > 30% you want your device fully charged at day. After all it's battery is supposed to not have memory charge, right?
this is why I bought a couple of the IPad 10W chargers, and use them with both my iPad and iPhone 4. Been doing that for the past 2 years and have had no battery issues yet with my iPhone
The dropping immediately to 96% isn't normal, but it's not a bug. Do a full discharge/recharge and then see if it still happens. If so, do a restore. If it still happens call Apple.
I really wanted to see with medium use, no game playing, how long would the iPad last. I searched the web, downloaded more purchased apps, and read news articles. I took breaks, but kept the screen on. The brightness was a little less than 50%. I got a good 10 hours out of it, and had 14% left. Plugged it up to charge in sleep mode. Left the house WiFi on. And the iPad did a backup via iCloud. After 8.5 hours it was fully charged. Now if I was a heavy gamer, I am sure battery life would be less, I believe this will be the norm. Reference the battery indicator, my iPhone does the same. I agree with others, this may be a 5.1 issue.
My 4S battery did this prior to 5.1 also
I get 8 hours of sleep and when I wake up my iPad isn't fully charged... The charging really sucks
My old iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 4S, and original iPad all would get to 100% but still have the lighting icon for about 5-10 minutes. Then it would turn the the the plug icon. I haven't seen a "new iPad" in person yet, but I wonder if this "2 hours" is the time from 100% with lightening icon till the plug icon? And I wonder if that's two hours with the screen on?
This is a good reason just to keep your iPad2. You will not have to adjust your sleep time .
The point of this article is that when the iPad3 displays 100%, it may not be fully charged. This would not be unlike Apple to gloss over a sticking point. The only way to verify this is to either put a current meter in the output of the charger or measure the A/C power drawn by the charger (e.g. plug the charger in to a Watt Meter). If they in fact show 100% on the iPad a full 2 hours before the charge rate drops, then that really smells like a shady claim. Lithium batteries are not like other chemistry batteries, they are charged to a very specific voltage (4.2V per cell) and then the charge is completely stopped, they are NEVER trickle charged. Apple did state that they stop charge, let the battery charge dip a little, then top off again, over and over. This is a good practice but does not really address a charge that continues a full two hours after the pad reads 100%
Apple could have made a 20watt charger and done it right. I think portable devices should charge in 1-4 hours max to allow users to keep their things up and running with less time tied up to a power outlet. I'm certainly no fan of a 9 hour full charge.
I have to say that for the past few of hours i have been hooked by the impressive articles on this website. Keep up the great work.
Okay i have a newly purchased 16gb second generation ipod touch and i was sad that it didnt have a mic. i want to buy one. i saw the earphones with the mic on them and heard they dont work. do they ones from touchmic.com work??? i have hears some reviews they do and some they dont.
Thanks, this worked for me too. After the respring, the iBooks icon was still present, but it was deletable. After I deleted it, I reinstalled iBooks, and everything works.
Worked perfect for my ipad2The only issue I have is that links in email dont work
You can set icons through HTML as well with "rel=apple-touch-icon" and by pointing the href to the png, do that per page and it should allow you to use different icons per page.
To be fair, the iPad is not a laptop replacement as it is quite inadequate to do much more than read the paper or play a game or two. Get a MacBook Air if you need to do work, it will blow the Windows 7 laptops out of the water.
I have to say that for the last few of hours i have been hooked by the impressive articles on this blog. Keep up the wonderful work.

Ellsberg Tells Students to Put Conscience First
When Daniel Ellsberg handed over secret documents that revealed decades of lies by the government about the Viet Nam War, he lost his career and many of his closest friends.
He told American University students this week that they should be prepared to do the same.
"Go with your conscience," he said. "When it comes down to your conscience versus your career, there really is a right choice." He told a packed audience in AU School of Communication's Wechsler Theater that "the American Government has done a lot of evil things" and the only way it can change is if members of the public expose it.
Ellsberg spoke after a showing of the 90-minute Oscar-nominated documentary The Most Dangerous Man in America, which detailed his inner turmoil in releasing 14,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and a dozen other newspapers in 1971. His actions help to end the Viet Nam War as well as his career as a top Pentagon strategist. Following the film, Ellsberg answered questions from Dr. James Thurber, who heads the Center for Congress and Presidential Studies, and the audience. Ellsberg didn't need much prompting to spark his blunt commentary.
"The government is not to be trusted," said Ellsberg, a former inside advisor to then Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. He says little has changed since he turned over the Pentagon Papers in the early 70's. "People have to be vigilant. It's what the government is not saying and what its motives are that should be questioned."
In response to a student's question about a career in government service, Ellsberg advised: "Go in with a private commitment that you will not undertake criminal actions or support aggressive wars." He said oaths government workers must take are "illegitimate" because they require workers to lie.
Ellsberg said he supports President Barack Obama but has been disappointed in the president's unwillingness to investigate the Bush Administration's use of the War Powers Act to condone torture and wiretapping. Each president, he explained, takes more power that the Constitution gave to Congress and none gives it back. "It's an executive coup against the Constitution."

She may be only 13 years old, but Frances Bean Cobain knows who she is – and isn't.
In her first press interview, the daughter of the late grunge legend Kurt Cobain and the troubled rocker Courtney Love tells Teen Vogue: "I'm a different person. I don't want to be titled as Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter. I want to be thought of as Frances Cobain."
Not that her mother isn't an influence, although the teen tempers mom's suggestions. "She tells me to 'live free and be free, but listen to other people's advice,'" says Cobain. "I listen, but I don 't always follow it."
Accompanying the interview are fashion photos of the 7th-grader. "I love feminine pieces," Cobain says of her fashion sense. "My favorite color is light pink. I also like baby blue because it brings out my eyes." Her favorite outfit is "a pretty skirt or nice jeans, basically something that matches or coordinates."
As for her mom's look, "I prefer when she 's more 'classy starlet,'" says her daughter. "I don't really like her hard-metal stuff, or when she doesn't brush her hair."

One of the highlights of the George Orwell Festival was a well received presentation from CCTV expert Stephen Burley which argued that: "Next-generation CCTV technology is shaping our future for the better," complete with a demonstration of a cutting edge MOBOTIX CCTV system.
The audience showed great interest in the high quality images and MOBOTIX's ability to react to its environment delivering instant alerts and also the depth of forensic detail that can be obtained from the post incident images. MOBOTIX image quality and technology is helping to keep the public safe in places such as on public transport and in rural locations where traditional cameras were unsuitable. Following the presentation, a lively Q&A session chaired by technology writer and George Orwell Festival co-ordinator James Hayes had to be extended for an extra hour as the highly interactive debate sprang up amongst the audience and the CCTV expert.
"It is interesting that in the recent riots, much of the images that were used to identify rioters actually came from other members of the public from cameras on mobile phones," comments Stephen, "Citizens used video and images to help fight crime. This shows just how much we have grown to accept video as part of our society." There is more in Orwell's book Nineteen Eighty-Four we as a global society has accepted which is far more sinister in its role than Big Brother, but due to its visibility CCTV got the bad press but is now poised to change people's perception that surveillance is not necessarily a bad thing.

Bison Bellows and Bones: Student-Scientists on the Prairie
By Matt Miller, senior science writer
Editor's Note: At the Samuel H. Ordway Prairie Preserve, students from Gustavus Adolphus College will soon be arriving to follow bison herds for the summer. This research program is not only taking an in-depth look at animal behavior, it's also providing information on how to best manage bison on fenced reserves. Today, we're running a previously published blog on last year's student researchers at Ordway Prairie.
I'm in the back seat of the vehicle as two female college students drive around, listen to music and—in their words—"look for guys."
Just another evening for students on break, right?
Well, not quite.
These students aren't driving to a party, nor are they cruising around downtown. There is no town. For that matter, there's no road.
We're bouncing around mixed grass prairie in South Dakota, the four-wheel-drive pick-up thumping over ruts and rocks. The vehicle's loaded with notebooks, GPS units and animal bones.
And the"guys"?
They're large, shaggy and prone to bellowing, wallowing and urinating on themselves.
They're bison bulls, the subject of these students' summer research project.
Michelle Hulke and Mary Joy Sun, entering their sophomore years at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, have spent day after day recording the bison bulls' fights, vocalizations and even tongue positions.
It's a research effort aimed at determining if bison bull behavior can be managed to produce more genetically diverse herds in fenced preserves and ranches, the type of environments where most bison herds now roam.
Hulke and Sun are the sixth set of Gustavus Adolphus students to research herd behavior at The Nature Conservancy's Samuel H. Ordway Prairie Preserve, a 7,800-acre grassland property near Leola. Each year, students at Gustavus Adolphus have the opportunity to participate in research projects following their freshmen year. The bison project has become one of the most popular.
Conservancy preserves and projects offer the perfect outdoor laboratories for undergraduate field research. The Conservancy employs mentors in the form of 550 scientists, and many projects already have a "science infrastructure"—the tools, established research protocols and housing and logistics that support fieldwork. Students learn not only science but also community relations, marketing and land management.
Preserves are places where budding scientists can develop their skills and contribute to meaningful conservation. It's a place where tomorrow's conservation leaders can gain field experience in spectacular settings.
In this case, that means living amongst bison herds.
Little Dorm on the Prairie
It's 6 a.m. the next morning and Hulke and Sun are readying camera gear, notebooks and novels (in case the bison aren't doing much today). Both students are spending nine weeks on the preserve, living in a ranch house and spending each day amongst the bison.
Their only neighbors are ground squirrels, meadowlarks and a herd of ranch horses. Three other seasonal students also live on the preserve. "It's kind of like a dorm, just out on the prairie," says Hulke. "It's not such a bad place to spend a summer."
By 6:30 a.m., the students are bouncing along the prairie, scanning for bison activity. They talk about music, movies, classes, the high price of textbooks and all the stuff a couple of friends might discuss.
Until the bison come into view.
Then it's down to business: They have a checklist of behaviors they're seeking, most focused on the bulls. They record bellowing (a vocalization much like a lion's roar), fighting, wallowing (when males roll in dust baths) and mating.
They note when a bull takes a lick of a cow bison's urine, done to determine the cow's readiness to mate. "Kind of gross," says Sun. "But you get used to it."
They seek out bulls that have had exhausted themselves by fighting and have left the herd. They even take detailed notes on the exact position of the bull's tongue when it bellows.
The study is shedding light on how bison herds—once wide ranging—behave when they are on fenced reserves. That research will help Conservancy staff manage bison to behave like bison — as a natural and necessary component of the prairie.
By 10 a.m., the bison are resting, so the students head back to the preserve headquarters to enter data, catch up on reading and rest. At 4 p.m., they're back on the prairie, recording bison behavior for three or four more hours.
It's a lot of bison time, but Hulke and Sun still brim with enthusiasm. Hulke grew up loving the outdoors and has a seemingly endless energy for all things biological. Early one morning, I find her intently reading an imposing-sized volume. "It's a book on extinct hominids," she says. "I consider human evolution kind of a side hobby."
Sun grew up in a Chinese city of 1 million people, where "Wild nature didn't exist." Well, at least not on the scale of the Ordway Prairie. Sun found her own nature—watching cicadas and whatever insects she could find. "My mom would get so mad at me because I'd disappear for a few hours to study ants," she says.
When the herds weren't doing much, the two enthusiastically collected bison bones scattered on the prairie in an attempt to reconstruct an entire skeleton – purely for fun.
And while they discussed all the usual things that interest 20-year-olds, they were equally likely to be discussing Temple Grandin's theories on animal behavior, the evolutionary adaptations of parasites or the similarities between lion prides and bison herds.
A tick crawling up blue jeans? A cause for celebration rather than concern. "They're really fascinating creatures if you look at them from an ecological and evolutionary perspective," says Hulke. "Just think how they've adapted to latch onto creatures that brush by. It's amazing."
When I asked what her classmates might think of that sentiment, she just shrugged. "They have to face the facts. Biology's cool."
Conservationists have focused much attention on introducing young people to nature. Equally important, though, is creating opportunities for young people who are already interested to learn and practice their skills – to develop the next generation of conservation leaders.
Undergraduate research offers the chance to develop those leaders, while they contribute to meaningful conservation research. Many of the biggest names in conservation, from Edward O. Wilson to Jane Goodall, developed their careers through early research opportunities.
Get Shortay
It's the end of a long day on the prairie. Hulke and Sun have found and recorded all the dominant bull bison, save one – an aggressive four-year-old with the odd moniker of Shortay. He's not been seen for several days, so chances are he's in some remote corner of the prairie. They'll have to look for him tomorrow.
It's been a full day's work, and the two students are relaxed now as they drive towards headquarters. They crank the only radio station they can get out here. Carly Rae Jepsen is on—a song they both love—and they're swaying and singing "Call Me Maybe" at full volume.
And then, cresting the hill, a shaggy brown lump appears in the distance. Hulke hits the brakes; Sun is on the binoculars, peering intently.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here," Sun mutters. She stares into the binoculars again, turns toward her friend with a huge grin. "It's ShortTAYYY!"
Hulke is already gunning the pick-up. Sun puts down the binoculars as she fumbles for the GPS and camera. They race across the rutted grassland to record the coordinates of their last bull bison for the day, the music turned even higher to celebrate. As they close in on Shortay, they're pumping fists and raising the roof and yelling out to each other at their unexpected good fortune.
The sun burning orange over the unbroken prairie, the students jotting notes, the bison bull tossing its head indifferently as bison bulls have been doing for millennia: Is it possible to feel gloomy about the future of conservation at moments like this?

"We over-think sometimes as fans. I watch Raw and Smackdown as a fan. I never try to over-analyze and say they're doing this or that wrong. There is no doubt that Daniel Bryan is so over, right? But, you don't think WWE knows this? You don't think a money making machine like WWE doesn't see what's going on? I think us as wrestling fans want Daniel Bryan to be in that main event spot right now, whereas the WWE says we're making money off this guy right now. Let's string it along and see how far we can go because we're going to need a main event for Wrestlemania 31. Stone Cold Steve Austin was over at King Of The Ring 1996, but go back and see how long it took him, as they strung him along, and people wanted to cheer, and they were cheering him at Survivor Series 1996 with Bret (Hart). They were cheering him in every match, and finally they did the turn and put the rocket up his ass a little bit after WrestleMania 13 and he didn't get the belt until the next WrestleMania, so you have a year and a half where they knew he was over and he was going to make big money for them and they just took their time, and I think that's what they're doing here with Daniel. They know he's over and he's not going anywhere. Think about how genius it was putting him with The Wyatt family for 3 weeks. They literally turn him heel and the crowd said no way. The fans feel like Bryan is one of them and he is doing everything they would do if they were wrestlers. I think it's great. To me, if I'm Vince McMahon or Triple H or Stephanie McMahon, I have it in my mind how Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk is my main event for WrestleMania 31."

BENTON TOWNSHIP, MI – Lake Michigan College will present its annual Bernard C. Radde Distinguished Service Award to Emily Foster of Niles during the College's 67th annual Commencement exercise being held at the LMC Mendel Center on Sunday, May 4, at 2 p.m.
In 1963, Berrien County voters approved a county-wide community college district. A new governing body was formed charged with transforming Benton Harbor Junior College into the new entity now known as Lake Michigan College. Emily Foster served as part of that first LMC Board of Trustees, helping to shepherd the growth of the expanding community college.
Foster continued her service on the Board until 1982. Not only was she the only woman on the Board during her 18-year tenure, she was the first female Board chairperson in LMC history. She also served on the Community College Feasibility Study Committee as secretary and promoted the idea of the College as a center for cultural and educational activities to residents of the district.
Foster and the rest of the Board saw the new College through many important milestones, including basic organization and finance, the selection of the new name with the help of the students, and selection of the site at Napier Avenue. She recalls that in the early days they met up to 40 times per year.
Emily has a bachelor of science in home economics from Michigan State University and taught at Niles High School. Over time, her role at the high school evolved into counseling, leading her to earn a master of arts in education from MSU.
Emily is a long-time member of the American Association of University Women and has served as president of the local chapter. She is currently on the Board of the History Center at Courthouse Square, helping with fundraising and event planning.
Emily and her late husband John managed a beef cattle and grain farm and had three children. She lives in Niles and enjoys horseback riding and creating topiary for her evergreen nursery, Foster Farms.
The Bernard C. Radde Distinguished Service Award is named in honor of the late Dr. Bernard C. Radde, who served as a member of the Lake Michigan College Board of Trustees for 25 years. It is presented annually by the LMC Board of Trustees to an individual or individuals who have advanced the cause of LMC and higher education.
Past winners include Bob Schodorf; Marian and Greg O'Niel; Dr. William Emery; Mary Fowler; Carol and Steve Sizer; the Honorable Mabel Johnson Mayfield; Jeff and Marcia Fettig; Merlin and Carolyn Hanson; James M. Krzyzewski, president and CEO of Nyloncraft, Inc.; former LMC Board chairman Steve Silcox; Stephen F. Upton; Senator Harry Gast; Muhammad and Lonnie Ali; and David Whitwam.

I have been very interested in the controversy concerning a name change for my university. A new name will be the fourth in its long history beginning with Industrial Institute and College for Females, then Mississippi State College for Women, and Mississippi University for Women.
Am I eager for a name change? No. Is it wise to change the name considering the fact that men are now legally permitted to attend? Young men who now attend deserve better.
In deciding between the two names suggested, I would choose Welty University rather than Waverly University. The name "Welty" is well known throughout the world, and although Eudora Welty was not a graduate of the university, this name would be appropriate for any university in our state.
Using the internationally well-known name "Welty" university would contribute to influencing out-of-state and foreign students to recognize again the quality of Mississippi as a state and for her outstanding educational qualities as well.

Here in West Virginia, public service is a way of life. People dedicate their lives, careers and countless volunteer hours to serving one another. I like to think public service is in our DNA. It is who we are.
In celebration of the spirit of giving that lives in all West Virginians, I've been marking a "Summer of Service" with stops across the state. I started with a roundtable discussion in Morgantown with students and graduates who would like to consider public service careers but are concerned about the burden of student loan debt. We talked about resources available to pursue public service, and how the Congress must take action before they have to mortgage their dreams to pay off their loans.
Then I met in Charleston with a group of fascinating West Virginians, from VISTA workers to health providers, to talk about the paths that led them to careers in public service – and how public service and giving back has defined our state for 150 years. After this inspiring discussion with the current faces of public service in our state, I drove a couple miles south to Emmons, where I first came to West Virginia 50 years ago and found my own passion for public service.
This poignant summer of service most recently took me to Pocahontas County, where we celebrated a new community wellness center and some truly incredible volunteers. Based on my visit there, I can assure you that community service is alive and well – and will only be buoyed by this wonderful new facility.
And today I had the great opportunity to meet with Boy Scouts attending the National Scout Jamboree in Fayette County, where tens of thousands of young people are fanning out over nine counties for an unprecedented community service initiative. Together with local volunteers, they're tackling more than 350 projects – from improving community parks to supporting animal shelters – totaling hundreds of thousands of service hours.
This type of initiative isn't new to the Boy Scouts – serving others is a fundamental part of their oath. But it is new to the Jamboree, and it's not surprising that the projects have really ignited in West Virginia, where serving others is what we do.
Within each of these discussions during my "Summer of Service" tour, and within each and every West Virginian, live remarkable stories – moments of giving worth celebrating and remembering.
Like my own memory from my early Governor days when Southern West Virginia got hit with terrible flooding. I opened up armories for people to take shelter but no one showed up – even before I could initiate my emergency plans, their neighbors had taken them in.
Or the LifeBridge Americorps leader in West Virginia who told me about her grandfather inspiring her path to public service. As a young girl, he asked her to help him clear snow from an elderly neighbor's driveway. When she asked why, he replied, "That's just what you do."
Or the young Boy Scouts who, right now, are installing playground equipment in Wyoming County and cleaning up walking trails in Mercer County – acts that might seem small, but together make our communities a lot brighter.
In commemoration of our state's 150th year, I'm asking West Virginians to share your stories of service – particular moments of generosity you experienced or initiated that make up West Virginia's legacy of service and giving. I'm compiling submissions in a publication to archive in honor of our Sesquicentennial – as a way to preserve and share them with future generations.
We all have a story to tell – whether it was a teacher who went above and beyond to help a child succeed, or volunteers who made a profound difference in someone's life, or neighbors who took it upon themselves to fix a roof after a windstorm.
I encourage you to share your own experiences like these. You can do so through Facebook, Twitter or on my website by August 20, 2013.
Yours are the stories that have defined who we are as West Virginians for 150 years. Your stories will help shape our future, and will make sure this tradition of giving – of making a difference in our communities from the inside out – lives on.

Rooted, but reaching out
Part of the Foster School's strategy to become the nation's top public business school involves leveraging Seattle's assets—its location on the Pacific Rim and its connection to so many leading-edge companies.
The completion of Paccar Hall will bolster the school's competitiveness, attracting the best and brightest students, the leading minds for faculty, and the top companies as partners for internships and action-learning opportunities.
For example: Variety of spaces for presentations and speaking engagements - Over the course of one quarter, 400 to 500 speakers from the region and around the globe visit the business school. With its new variety of spaces, from 25-seat classrooms to a 250-seat auditorium, the school will be able to tailor the presentation environment for the speaker and the audience.

I purchased just to top. If your current base is 7/8" it'll fit. They use ROC N SOC bottom plates and bases, which are 7/8" You could adapt your bottom bracket to the CARMICHAEL, but you'd need to install inserts (the plywood is 1/2") and the hole pattern they drilled is for the ROC n SOC stuff.
If you're serious contact CARMICHAEL, they'll answer ALL your questions, excellent customer service... talk to Dan himself, join the family.
I did a gig yesterday and Im still blown away. I feel great, actually got home and did yoga/weight training. At the gig its a new approach, dealing with reserve power. I believe its actually helping my L5 injury heal, I know it is. So what's that worth to me? Can't say enough good about it.
They're on ebay.
While I have the scale plugged in- The CARMICHAEL top weighs in at 5.06 lbs, thats w/o a bracket on the bottom, with my bracket it weighs 8.05 lbs and the top fits perfectly in a 14x5.5 drum bag.

Customer Service Email
Again, the customer service email form you'll be using is a Frito Lay form, not a Doritos form. There are multiple pages to the form, so keep hitting next until you receive verification the form was sent. We sent a question to Doritos about the possible production of a cinnamon and sugar variety.

Our Experience
We thought calling the corporate headquarters of Doritos would result in long waits or an answering service. This was far from the truth. When we called, there was four options. The final options connected to the customer service department. After waiting less than seconds, as customer service agent answered the call. After the Q&A session, the call ended. The overall experience was better than expected. What were the highlights of your call to the Doritos customer service team? Comment below.

Environmental Conundrum
By now it's commonplace to take about biofuels driving up the price of food (though some say this effect is overstated since food prices are rising all across the board) and encouraging deforestation. Similarly, the price of silicon is dropping, which means cheaper solar energy -- But silicon production creates large amounts of very toxic waste. More »

More Arrests in Tibet Ahead of Everest Photo-Ops
China doesn't care what you think: China has stepped up persecution of Buddhist monks with mass detentions, Tibet activists said Wednesday, as China prepares to take the Olympic torch to the top of Mount Everest. The actions came a day after six monks were given lengthy prison sentences in the first trial of rioters since deadly violence in Tibet's capital last month. More »

Double Whammy
When it rains literary nonfiction, it pours: books by not one but two Tricycle contributing editors hit the stacks this July. Memoirist Mark Matousek's When You're Falling, Dive: Lessons in the Art of Living tracks the sorrows and triumphs of hundreds of survivors, seeking to answer the question: How does a person survive his own life? Mixed with universal stories of illness and loss are profiles of people who have suffered under extraordinary circumstances—a Tibetan nun who was tortured by Chinese soldiers at the age of thirteen; a Sudanese man who was kidnapped as a child and forced into slavery for ten years. Matousek draws from parables, scientific studies, philosophy, and literature in order to create a nuanced portrait of endurance and meaning wrought from adversity. The Wishing Year, by Noelle Oxenhandler, tells the story of the author's experiment with the art of wishing. One New Year's Day, Oxenhandler decides to change her life. More »

An inside-out version of
Straight Bar Lacing, which distributes pressure evenly plus keeps the knots & ends to the side. For hiking /
bushwalking, position the knots on the inside, away from snagging undergrowth. For biking / cycling, position them
on the outside, away from chains & cranks.
• Begin straight across on the inside (grey section) and out through the bottom eyelets.
• The left (blue) end runs straight up on the outside, then straight across on the inside.
• Both ends run straight up on the outside, each skipping one eyelet and feeding in two eyelets higher up.
• Both ends continue straight across on the inside and out through the adjacent eyelets.
• Alternate running up on the outside and across on the inside until the ends emerge through the top and
second-from-top eyelets on the same side.
Hiking / Biking Lacing only works correctly on shoes with
even numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 8 pairs = 16 eyelets). This is because the lace must cross the
shoe an even number of times so that the ends will meet and can be tied together. On shoes with an
odd number of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets), the lace ends finish diagonally opposite
each other at the top of the shoe.
See below for some workarounds for shoes with odd numbers of eyelet pairs.
Lace one shoe as above and the other shoe in reverse, with both knots positioned towards the
inside (between the ankles). This places the loops and loose ends further away from the outer sides of the
shoes, making them less likely to become snagged in undergrowth whilst hiking / bushwalking.
Lace one shoe as above and the other shoe in reverse, with both knots positioned towards the
outside. This places the loops and loose ends further away from the bicycle chain, cranks and other moving
As mentioned above, Hiking / Biking Lacing only works correctly on shoes with
even numbers of eyelet pairs. Here's several common workarounds for shoes with
odd numbers of eyelet pairs, using sample diagrams with seven pairs of eyelets.
A basic solution is to simply not use either the top or the bottom pair of eyelets. Using only an even number of
eyelet pairs avoids the odd limitation.
It's also possible to skip a pair of eyelets somewhere in the middle, which breaks the lacing into two sections.
Use a single diagonal crossover somewhere in the lacing. At the top, it's less noticeable due to the bows &
shoelace ends. Near the middle of the lacing, a diagonal may be positioned to line up with and run through a
tongue centering loop (if the shoe has one).
Instead of trying to hide a single diagonal, this alternative makes a feature out of a single crossover. This
crossover can be placed at either the top or bottom of the lacing, but unlike the above "One Diagonal" variation,
it cannot be placed in the middle of the lacing.
Similar to the single diagonal shown above, the shoelace can be cut (where the diagonal would have been) and the
ends tied off on opposite sides of the shoe. In this diagram, the knotted ends are at the bottom left eyelet and
the second from bottom right eyelet.
This unusual solution works by doubling up the laces through the second from bottom pair of eyelets. Because it's
near the bottom of the shoe, any difficulty with tightening this section is not so noticeable as the shoe doesn't
need to open wide at that point.
The second from bottom straight section runs across left-to-right (underneath), then right-to-left (on top),
passing under itself on the left side. The underlying section is fairly well hidden by the straight section on top.
For a neater (though slightly less comfortable) variation, the lacing can be done inside-out, with only the top two
horizontal sections fed under the sides of the shoes to emerge through the top and 2nd from top eyelets (where the
knots will be tied). This is effectively a side-knotted version of
Straight Bar Lacing.
The result is much neater, particularly when the sneakers have contrasting shoelaces, which would otherwise look
messy with the vertical sections visible on the outside. However, it no longer has the benefit of even pressure
distribution because the straight horizontal sections are now on the outside.
This picture, sent to me by Stephen P., shows some shoes laced with inside-out Hiking / Biking Lacing, with the
knots and loose ends positioned towards the outside for biking / cycling.
Same lacing method for shoes with lugs instead of eyelets.
Identical method done inside-out, which hides the knot on the inside.

The Voice
The Voice vs. American Idol: Which Show Is Better? You Tell Us!
With Hollywood Week looming over American Idol contestants and The Voice premiering on Sunday, televised talent competition season is in full swing. Now that The Voice is on its sophomore season and we're a little more acquainted with the judges and the show's multi-round format, it's safe to make a judgement of our own — which show is better?
On the one hand, American Idol is a national treasure — you heard us, like Mount Rushmore or the Grand Canyon or a video of Betty White rapping — and after ten and a half seasons, its reputation is well deserved.
Though the judges have rotated out, Idol's still got The Dawg himself, Randy Jackson, holding down the fort. Sure, Idol's had its hiccups, like casting softie singing "connoisseur" Ellen Degeneres last year, but the additions of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have grounded the show once again.
For the past few weeks, Idol's been enjoying solo status in the talent show category. That is to say, there's been no competition for the competitions. However, that'll change on Sunday when The Voice comes roaring back to wreak havoc, or at the very least entertain us with incredibly talented singers who may or may not look like Jabba the Hutt (that's the risk you'll have to take, Blake).
There's no doubt The Voice has a great concept with the blind auditions, but as evidenced by last year's dwindling ratings once the singers moved on to the battle rounds, The Voice's format is slightly bizarre. Plus, now that American Idol has super A-list judges, do Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine really look so impressive?
What do you think? Now that The X Factor is out of the running (for the time being), which show reigns supreme? And keep in mind: There can only be one.

This example shows you how to use Simulink® Report Generator™ to compare XML files from two Simulink models. You can view the Simulink XML differences in the resulting report.
This example shows you how to use Simulink Report Generator XML comparison to understand what has changed between two different designs. The designs are based upon the Simulink model sldemo_radar_matlab_function. The model has been modified to remove the use of "persistent" variables within the MATLAB® function and replace them with unit delay blocks. You can use the Simulink Report Generator to compare XML files from the two models and produce a report for exploring the differences. Run the following commands to open the two example models:
open_system('slxml_radar_matlab_function_1') open_system('slxml_radar_matlab_function_2')
Compare The XML Files
Run the following commands to compare XML files from the models.
visdiff('slxml_radar_matlab_function_1', 'slxml_radar_matlab_function_2');
Understand The Results
The Comparison Tool shows a report that only includes the differences between the two XML files, not the complete hierarchy of the XML files.
Colors indicate if items are modified (pink items) or unmatched (green items, found only on one side).
Stepping Through Differences
Use the "Next" and "Previous" navigation buttons on the Comparison tab to step through groups of changes in the report. When you do this to select an item:
The report highlights the corresponding item in the other tree (if it exists)
Both models display next to the report. The report highlights the corresponding item in the Simulink model, if possible.
You can control highlighting in models on the View tab.
Highlight Differences in the Simulink Models
Click to select the first instance of "MATLAB Function" in the left tree. Observe the report highlights "MATLAB Function" on both sides of the report, and the corresponding block in both the Simulink models.
Explore Differences in a MATLAB Function Block
Now browse down the left tree to the MATLAB Function Stateflow® chart node. Locate the pink node under this node, also named "MATLAB Function". Click the "Compare" button at the end of this node to open a new instance of the Comparison Tool comparing the two MATLAB functions. In this example you can see that the input and arguments of the function have changed, and the persistent variables have been deleted in slxml_radar_matlab_function_2.
Merge Changes in a MATLAB Function Block
You can choose to merge individual changes back to the original script. To do this select a difference in the report, and click the merge button on the Comparison tab. If "Always Highlight" is on, this shows the parent report. Click Compare again to return to the text comparison of the MATLAB Functions and view the merged node. If you are merging many changes in a MATLAB Function, it can be helpful to turn off highlighting in models using the View tab.
Filtering Results
It is possible to filter the results shown in the Comparison Tool to remove items that are not of interest. To see the available filters, and whether or not they have been applied to the current report, click the Filter button on the View tab.
Some information in the Simulink XML file is defined as being "nonfunctional". These are changes that are unlikely to change the behavior of the design. Nonfunctional items are hidden by default.

As part of the 1995 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, the Milwaukee Jewish Archives created an exhibition that highlighted participation of Milwaukee Jews in the war. The exhibit thanked those who served in the armed forces, and brought deserved attention to the important role played by Milwaukee Jews who served.
Hundreds of people viewed the exhibition throughout the summer of 1995. Among them were veterans' children and grandchildren who learned about the contributions made by their parents and grandparents to the war effort. Many people suggested that we preserve this extremely successful exhibit by creating a book that would contain the photos, narratives and other materials that were on display. We listened, and we produced the book We Were There - World War II: The Milwaukee Jewish Experience.
Following are photos and narratives from the exhibition and book. We hope this exhibit has as much meaning for you as for all of the people who submitted their precious memories. It was truly a labor of love on the part of the authors who wrote the stories for this special collection of Jewish remembrances.
If you would like to include pictures and stories from people not included, please submit your entries by mail to Jewish Museum Milwaukee, 1360 North Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202, or by email to email@example.com.

Best post of the day drlakerman. You are saying what so many of us are thinking right about now. Keep up the good work!
NO WAY Penn State leaves the Big Ten. It is the THE premier athletic and academic conference in the nation, by far. It's not about "being home" with East Coast football teams. No matter what we think about our football situation ACC or Big East, both pale in comparison to the Big 10. At least the ACC is "less pale" than the Big East. It was time to move on and lets go from here.
That's a good post benorange. I have said for years that our facilities are outdated for football. I mean Manley as our indoor practice facility??? The Dome was "cool in the 80's".......we are in a new century, let's get back outdoors in a venue with real seats.
This smells of a 3-9 season. I used to be a lot more optimistic at this time of year, but watching the decline last year and the very weak recruiting class, it does not add up to even a 5-7 record.
Gee, thanks for that bit od wit and wisdom!
Couldn't agree more
That's pretty well said, and I think a fair assesment of what we all saw tonight. No question we'd have seen a different game with Melo though.
Well, I don't agree with you on the officals....did you see the North Carolina/Ohio game last night? The officials let those boys play and it was a fun game. This may have been the tightest officiated game I have ever seen. I am not saying we'd have won with less zealous officiationg, but it would have been a more exciting game to put it in the hands of the players. That said, you're not an "idiot" just a guy with an opinion.
This was an unusual game for Craft, he is a heck of a talented player. Clearly we are all upset at the end of the season, but come on.....Craft is arguably the best defensive guard in the country. I am more inclined to be upset at the officiating from the stand point they could have swallowed their whistles. Truth be told, if Ohio State had used Sullinger more effectively we would have lost by 15. We had no physical presence to match up with him.
Wasn't there JA on this site guaranteeing a loss to K-State? Sewer somebody??
Wasn't there JA on this site guaranteeing a loss to K-State? Sewer somebody??
Do we know FOR SURE that Melo is ineligible for his Grades, or is there perhaps some other academic issue? It seems to me when his Fall semester grades were established he would have been declared either eligible or not for the spring semester. That is very straight forward and he would not have been able to return (at least that is my understanding) for ANY games. I thought since he returned after the three game "suspension" that it was not solely a GPA issue.
Best post on here! Enough of the orange fuzz ball, hands down one of the more embarrasing mascots in Major College Sports!
Yeah I agree with you, in today's world, it is really more about football. I will miss BE hoops, but the world is constantly changing and you either change with it or beome a statistic. There will be some great new rivalries in a couple of years. Looking forward to once again "hating BC"
You are exactly right. The Big East has become a bigger sham than ever. Commissioner Marinatto is simply grabbling at straws to save face. Had he any "vision" a year ago the Big East would have reached out when they were a stronger football conference. I was never a fan of a 16 team basketball conference with only half the teams playing football.
Good Point Johnboy. I realize that JB is as public a figure as there is in Central NY and does need to use judgement when speaking. However, as an individual citizen, why shouldn't he be afforded the same luxury as the rest of us have to voice his opinion?
A large state school that is an accredited research institution is essential for entry into the Big Ten. Unlees of course your Notre Dame.
It is sad, isn't it!
Hope we don't have a repeat of last year. I was at the Cincinnati game last year and felt pretty confident going into the Louisville game. Turned out we were flat after a brief two game win streak. This team can't afford to look past anybody just yet. We are so Jeckyl and Hyde that it's tough to tell which team will show up on any given game day. That said, I do like your entusiasm and hope we can eventually get to a position when we as fans can "look past" the next opponent.
My thoughts exactly regarding Oliver Lucks comments a couple of weeks ago. You had to think that was bulletin board material. Thanks Oliver, good Luck in the Big 12!

What would you say about a speaker series that has included Barack Obama, Colin Powell, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Maya Angelou, David McCullough, Elie Wiesel, Robert Duvall, Val Kilmer, Coretta Scott King, and Margaret Thatcher, just to name a few? And Principia College students didn't just get to hear these people speak from a distance. With most speakers, there are opportunities to interact. Robert Duvall taught an acting class when he was here, and Barack Obama met with a group of students the night he spoke on campus. You never know who's going to stop by.
