JAMESTOWN WILDLIFE AREA - Last Updated: 12/1/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
|350 ducks were observed on 12/1. Mostly Mallard. No geese were observed on the area. Bird numbers are fluctuating daily. The area is starting to freeze up. Managers have been picking up a lot of trash left behind in the marshes. Hunters MUST take their trash with them out of the marsh.
|Mallard Migration Rank
|Current Rating - 1 The rank is subjective and is from (0= No Mallards, 1=Very few Mallards, 5=Moderate numbers, 10= Peak numbers).
|Water levels
The area is approximately 60% frozen. More ice is expected with the colder nights in the forecast.
The area had a significant flood event during the first week of August. This washed out all of the moist soil food production in Gun Club Marsh. However, the moist soil production in Buffalo Creek and Pintail Marshes remain excellent. Due to the warm weather in September and early October, we have lost some water to evaporation and will need some timely rains to put water back on wetland areas still containing food.
Gamekeeper Marsh is full with an average water depth of 12 inches, Gun Club Marsh (a.k.a. Sportsman's Lake on Google Maps) has an average depth of 28 inches, Marsh Creek Marsh has deep water along the creek channel and shallower water along the flats and all the off channel storage pools have huntable water. Buffalo Creek Marshes have 10 - 20 inches of water (hunters need to be cautious of the main drainage in Buffalo Creek South Marsh, this water is around four foot deep), Pintail Marsh has mainly sheet water with several small, shallow pools as a result of the August flooding. Puddler and Ringneck marshes are both dry. Managers will finish pumping some of the off channel storage pools along Marsh Creek by early next week.
|Hunting conditions
Fair, hunters are encouraged to scout prior to hunting and be mindful of other hunters that are already set up. Bird numbers are fluctuating daily.
|Expected hunting success
Hunters will need to scout out areas birds are utilizing in order to be successful. Hunters averaged 4.3 birds per hunter during the last week. Managers have been seeing flights of Sandhill Cranes move through the area. Be mindful that with the flights of Sandhill Cranes, there have been reports of Whooping Cranes spotted with the Sandhill Cranes. If Whooping Cranes show up on the area, the marsh they are staying in will be closed to any activity until they move on.
There was a significant increase in Mallards and geese with last weeks cold front. Conditions should improve with the forecast, however with colder nights, ice will become an issue.
Hunters are now required to check in using the electronic permitting system.
HUNTERS NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT IN iSportsman BY GOING TO https://kdwpt.isportsman.net AND FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:
Hunters need to make sure they have all the appropriate licenses and stamps for hunting waterfowl. The following are required:
Marsh Creek Marsh is for non-gasoline powered boats only, this includes electric motor boats and boats with no motors. Gasoline engines are prohibited.
THE REFUGE IS CLOSED FROM OCTOBER 1 TO JANUARY 31 on the north half of Gamekeeper Marsh.
Please introduce youth and novice hunters to the outdoors. Pass it on!
LOVEWELL RESERVOIR - Last Updated: 12/1/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
|4,550 ducks mostly mallards, but teal,gadwalls, widgeon and some divers. 700 Canada geese, 3000 snow geese and some white-fronted geese.
|Mallard Migration Ranking
|Mallard Migration ranking = 5
|Water level
|Reservoir is at 1.39 feet below conservation pool. Inflows (56.2 cfs) to Lovewell from the Courtland Canal. Outflows to the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District for irrigation ceased on 09/12/15). The reservoir levels will continue to slowly rise through the fall and are currently rising at 0.1 - 0.3 ft per week.
|Hunting condition
|Water levels have pushed into the vegetation surrounding the shorelines giving good concealment for hunters. Reservoir levels have been high all summer and the mudflats were not exposed until earlier mid- August. No millet seeding occurred. Not much moist soil food on the reservoir. Lovewell Reservoir will go into winter at least 1 f00t below conservation pool. which is 1 foot higher than normal operating levels for winter to keep ice build-up off the dam face.
|Expected hunting success
|Good to excellent. The Dakotas and Nebraska are freezing this week and a robust fall migration ramps up. Low food on the reservoir but plentiful crops on private cropland. Waterfowl will most likely use the reservoir as a loafing a roosting spot.
All Boat ramps OPEN. In the State Park, (Cedar Point, the Marina and Cabin Area),PARK PERMIT REQUIRED.Boat Ramps in the Wildlife Area, (Pawnee Point, Oak Hill and White Rock Creek) do not require a permit.The LAND REFUGE CLOSED OCTOBER 1. WATER REFUGE IN EFFECT NOVEMBER 1, 2015 THROUGH JANUARY 31,2016. Camping cabins are available in Lovewell State Park. Make reservations HERE
FREE DAILY HUNT PERMITS REQUIRED FOR ALL HUNTING ON THE AREA. ELECTRONIC PERMITS NOW AVAILABLE. REGISTER AT THE i-SPORTSMAN LINK ON THE KDWPT WEBSITE. Lovewell Wildlife Area has been requiring all hunters to register with our paper card, Hunter Survey System and this is still required but a new system called i-Sportsman is now in effect that allows hunters to check-in and check-out electronically with a PC, smartphone, any mobile device and even a rotary dial phone. Hunters are encouraged to pre-register for an account on-line and must do so from a PC, establish a password and PIN. This will really speed up the process over the card system. Follow this link to get registered. https://kdwpt.isportsman.net/ PAPER PERMITS AVAILABLE ONLY AT THE LOVEWELL STATE PARK INFORMATION CENTER IN FRONT OF OR DIRECTLY WEST OF THE LOVEWELL OFFICE. If using the card system, the top portion of the two-part permit must be filled out and returned to the survey station prior to hunting and the bottom portion kept with the hunter to record hunting activity. After the hunt the bottom portion is also returned to the survey station where the permits will be collected and information recorded to assist managers with improving the area. THE REFUGE IS CLOSED FROM NOVEMBER 1 TO JANUARY 31 on the NORTHEAST half of the reservoir and Wildlife Area from 1/8th mile west of the south end of the dam and following a buoy line northwest to the western boundary of the Cabin Area. No hunting from the park shoreline. Please introduce youth and novice hunters to the outdoors. Pass it on!

MILFORD WILDLIFE AREA - Last Updated: 11/25/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
Regular duck season opens October 31st.
Roughly 300 ducks were seen on the survey this week on the wetlands. There was a good push of ducks last Friday with several limits taken but they do not appear to have stayed.
Waterfowl counts given on this report are based on what was observed on the day the report is updated. Waterfowl numbers vary greatly from day to day and weather conditions and hunting pressure will affect the numbers of waterfowl on the area.
|Lake level
|Current Level is 1145.0 Conservation Pool is 1144.4 The dam is releasing 84 CFS. The inflow into the lake is 140 cfs.
|Hunting conditions
Due to frequent river flooding and high lake levels throughout the growing season, the vegetation and seed production has been significantly reduced.
No activites/hunting allowed in the Steve Lloyd Wetland/Refuge.
Motorized boats are only allowed in Mall Creek wetland, electric motors are considered "motorized". All other public hunting wetlands are open to NON motorized boats and walk in hunting.
The West Broughton Youth/Mentor Area looks excellent this year due to the installation of a new wetland pump.
Beichter, Martin, Quimby, Zach Hudec, Upper and Lower smith have been and will continue to be pumped throughout the season as long as the weather and water rights permit.
|Expected hunting success
|Fair. Few birds in the area but some duck hunters have had some success.
Do NOT drive on dikes. Vehicles disrupt and discourage waterfowl from using the wetland areas. We have had several dikes being damaged due to unauthorized vehicles driving on them. Scouting is best done on foot to evaluate bird numbers and habitat conditions.
Please report any vehicles on dikes and anyone seen disturbing our pumps. Without the pumps in optimal condition we are unable to pump the wetlands to their greatest potential.
Remember - an electronic permit/sign-in on Isportsman is required for all hunting on Milford Wildlife Area. Hunters can register and check in using the new I-sportsman system from any rotary phone or internet device. The information collected and comments received are very useful in establishing future management goals for the area.

|Waterfowl numbers
1500 ducks were observed 12/01/2015. Most of the ducks were on the north end of the lake.
Mallard Migration Rank (0-10) = 8
|Water level
|The lake is currently at 1076.6.
|Hunting conditions
|With Tuttle creek lake level being 40 feet high this summer vegetation in the wetlands units will not be the greatest.
|Expected hunting success
|A permit/survey is required to hunt the Black Vermillion and Olsburg marshes and can be found at the parking lots adjacent to each marsh. Please complete this survey. The data collected from this permit/survey supplies the Manager with valuable comments and harvest information to better manage the area.

CHEYENNE BOTTOMS - Last Updated: 11/30/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
We estimate 7,000 to 14,000 ducks on the Area. Most duck use is in the refuge Pool 1. Winter ice storm has chased many ducks and geese out. Total goose numbers are estimated at 75,000 to 150,000 geese now on the Area, about half are white-fronts.
Mallard Migration Rank: 3 (subjective estimate of potential mallard numbers. 1=lowest, 10=highest).
|Water level
|Pools 1A, 1B and 1C each are at 8 inches. Pool 2 is near 9 inches, Pools 3A is about 2.5 inches, 3B is dry, 4A is about 6 inches, 4B is near 9.5 inches and Pool 5 has only trapped water.
|Hunting conditions
|Cattail have expanded in area. Pool 3B will likely remain dry through the winter to allow for cattail control work this winter and next spring. Pool 3A will be managed as a primitive hunting pool and closed to motorized watercraft. The hot, dry, windy weather took a toll on our water, particularly now that it is spread out over most of the Wildlife Area. Shallow water will mean difficulty for larger motorized boats. Area is 85% frozen.
|Expected hunting success
|For Nov. 24 thru Nov. 30 hunters averaged about 1.5 ducks per hunt. Goose hunters using the Goose Hunting Zones are averaging about 0.8 goose per hunt for the same period. This information is gathered from the Daily Hunt Permits provided by hunters using the card system and iSportsman.
Hunters are encouraged to use the electronic Daily Hunt Permit system. This will eventually replace the paper permits.

MCPHERSON VALLEY WETLANDS - Last Updated: 11/24/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
|Approximately 1300 ducks and 400 geese were observed on the property 20 November 2015. The vast majority of the ducks are mallards, along with 350 lesser Canadas, 50 snows, and a few honkers. The remainder is a mix of gadwall, pintail, and a few divers. There is another major cold front forecasted to sweep across the area this weekend, which may bring freeze-up conditions to the marsh.
|Mallard Migration Rank
Current rank: 3
This rank is subjective and ranges from 0 (no mallards) to 10 (peak numbers)
|Water levels
|Fair in some of the pools, but the marshes are still losing water. The Big Basin unit has been hit the hardest, and several of the pools are now dry. The marshes at the Chain of Lakes unit are 99% dry. There is still a huntable amount of water in pools 2, 3, 4, 6, 13, and 14 at the Little Sinkhole unit. The area received approximately 1 1/2" of rain last week, which helped to stabilize water levels.
|Hunting conditions
|Moist soil vegetation is good to exceptional across the area. Pondweed, annual smartweed, and barnyard grass production has been exceptional this year.
|Expected hunting success
|Fair to good.
Hunter success for this November 20th - 24th:
74 hunters reported a harvest of 55 ducks and 1 goose, for an average of 0.75 birds per hunter.
PLEASE CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT WITH EITHER THE i-SPORTSMAN PROGRAM OR PAPER DAILY PERMITS! PLEASE DO NOT USE BOTH.
MPWL is transitioning to a new daily permit system called Isportsman. Hunters will need to register prior to hunting at MPWL. Hunters will login (or call) each day prior to hunting to get a daily permit, and report back harvest similar to the paper daily permits.

In preparation for the transition from paper hunt permits to i-Sportsman, there has been a reduction in the number of daily hunt permit stations (also known as "Iron Rangers") on the property. Historically there have been ten daily hunt permit stations on the property; however, this year there will be five. The locations of these five permit stations are listed below.
Big Basin Marshes:
#1 – South off Mohawk Road on the driveway going to the Area Headquarters / Office
#2 – Pools 1 and 14 parking lot, at the east end of Limestone Road off 8th Avenue
Chain of Lakes Marshes:
#3 – Just south of the intersection of 9th Avenue and Frontier Road, on the west side of the unit
Little Sinkhole Marshes:
#4 – 10th Avenue, between Arapaho and Buckskin roads, at the sunflower field
#5 – Just north of the intersection of 9th Avenue and Arrowhead Road
Please plan ahead and register for i-Sportsman prior to hunting McPherson Valley Wetlands, or plan on obtaining a daily hunt permit at one of the five functional permit stations listed above.
The Little Sinkhole/Farland Lake marsh unit is included in the EARLY low-plains duck zone (as is the rest of MPWL).
All shotgun hunters at McPherson Wetlands are required to use non-toxic shot for all hunting. This includes upland birds.

2015 Mallard Migration Model is coming soon!
Migratory Birds are birds protected by federal law as a result of treaties signed with other countries. Protected migratory birds are listed in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations, Section. 10.13. This list includes almost all birds found in the United States with the exception of the house sparrow, feral pigeon (commonly called rock dove), European starling, Eurasian collared-dove, mute swan, and upland game birds (which are protected by state laws).
All migratory birds are protected. However, a subset of migratory birds classified as migratory game birds and may be hunted in accordance with State and Federal regulations. The list of migratory game birds includes species of ducks, geese (including brant), swans, doves and pigeons, cranes, rails, coots, gallinules and moorhens, woodcock and snipe, if there is an open season.
Daily bag limit means the maximum number of migratory game birds of a single species or combination (aggregate) of species permitted to be taken by one person in any one day during the open season in any one specified geographic area for which a daily bag limit is prescribed.
Aggregate daily bag limit means the maximum number of migratory game birds permitted to be taken by one person in any one day during the open season when such person hunts in more than one specified geographic area and/or for more than one species for which a combined daily bag limit is prescribed. The aggregate daily bag limit is equal to, but shall not exceed, the largest daily bag limit prescribed for any one species or for any one specified geographic area in which taking occurs.
Possession limit means the maximum number of migratory game birds of a single species or a combination of species permitted to be possessed by any one person when lawfully taken in the United States in any one specified geographic area for which a possession limit is prescribed.
Aggregate possession limit means the maximum number of migratory game birds of a single species or combination of species taken in the United States permitted to be possessed by any one person when taking and possession occurs in more than one specified geographic area for which a possession limit is prescribed. The aggregate possession limit is equal to, but shall not exceed, the largest possession limit prescribed for any one of the species or specified geographic areas in which taking and possession occurs.
Personal abode means one's principal or ordinary home or dwelling place, as distinguished from one's temporary or transient place of abode or dwelling such as a hunting club, or any club house, cabin, tent or trailer house used as a hunting club, or any hotel, motel or rooming house used during a hunting, pleasure or business trip.
Migratory bird preservation facility means:
(1) Any person who, at their residence or place of business and for hire or other consideration; or
(2) Any taxidermist, cold-storage facility or locker plant which, for hire or other consideration; or
(3) Any hunting club which, in the normal course of operations; receives, possesses, or has in custody any migratory game birds belonging to another person for purposes of picking, cleaning, freezing, processing, storage or shipment.
Normal agricultural planting, harvesting, or post-harvest manipulation means a planting or harvesting undertaken for the purpose of producing and gathering a crop, or manipulation after such harvest and removal of grain, that is conducted in accordance with official recommendations of State Extension Specialists of the Cooperative Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Normal soil stabilization practice means a planting for agricultural soil erosion control or post-mining land reclamation conducted in accordance with official recommendations of State Extension Specialists of the Cooperative Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for agricultural soil erosion control.
Baited area means any area on which salt, grain, or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, or scattered, if that salt, grain, or other feed could serve as a lure or attraction for migratory game birds to, on, or over areas where hunters are attempting to take them. Any such area will remain a baited area for ten days following the complete removal of all such salt, grain, or other feed.
Baiting means the direct or indirect placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering of salt, grain, or other feed that could serve as a lure or attraction for migratory game birds to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them.
Manipulation means the alteration of natural vegetation or agricultural crops by activities that include but are not limited to mowing, shredding, discing, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning, or herbicide treatments. The term manipulation does not include the distributing or scattering of grain, seed, or other feed after removal from or storage on the field where grown.
Natural vegetation means any non-agricultural, native, or naturalized plant species that grows at a site in response to planting or from existing seeds or other propagules.

Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp The law requires that each waterfowl hunter 16 years of age and older must carry on his person a Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Federal Duck Stamp) that is validated by the hunter signing the stamp in ink across the face of the stamp.
More restrictive regulations may apply to National Wildlife Refuges opened to public hunting. For additional information on refuge specific regulations see http://www.fws.gov/refuges/
This migratory bird information is being provided as a service to hunters. It has been prepared as a guide only and is not a complete list of regulations. For more detailed legal information, contact the KDWP Law Enforcement Division, or complete regulations may also be viewed and printed online. Just click here.
All waterfowl hunters 16 and older must have a federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, and all hunters who are required to obtain a hunting license must also have a Kansas State Waterfowl Stamp and a Kansas Harvest Information Program (HIP) stamp before hunting ducks, geese, or mergansers. (Those not required to have a Kansas hunting license include people hunting their own land, and residents 15 and younger)
Waterfowl Stamps and Licence - All Waterfowl stamps and licenses can be bought at any licensed Agent , Pratt Operations Office , or online, EXCEPT for the Federal Waterfowl Stamp which is bought at a US Post Office. All Waterfowl stamps are good through season.
- Kansas HIP Stamp: $2.50
- State Waterfowl Stamp: $7
- Federal Waterfowl Stamp: $26.50 - Purchased at any KDWP office or at any US Post Office.
- 48-hour Waterfowl license: $27.50
State stamps are available at any licensed agent, online , Pratt Operations Office or Regional office. Federal stamps are available at a US Post Office, Pratt Operations Office or Regional office . Federal stamps must be signed across the face of the stamp.
Waterfowl stamps are not required to hunt Coot, Dove, Rail, Snipe, Woodcock, or Sandhill Crane. HIP is required.
If hunting Sandhill Crane, in addition to a hunting license ( if required), a federal sandhill crane hunting permit issued through and validated by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is required to hunt cranes. Crane permits obtained in other states are not valid in Kansas. The validated permit ($7.50 validation fee) is available at any licensed agent , online , Pratt Operations Office , or Regional office .
All Kansas sandhill crane hunters must pass the "Test for Sandhill Crane Hunters" before obtaining a sandhill crane hunting permit.
"Online Test for Sandhill Crane Hunters." Click this link to take an online test that provides information about identifying whooping cranes, sandhill cranes, and look-alike species, as well as the hunter's ability to choose safe shots. The test is both entertaining and informative and only takes a few minutes.
Avian influenza, or "bird flu" as it is commonly called, is a naturally-occurring disease in wild waterfowl caused by various strains of avian-type influenza. In the past, the disease in wild birds has been of little concern, because it usually causes either mild or no clinical signs in them. In domestic poultry flocks, however, some strains of avian influenza are deadly and are classified as "highly pathogenic."
Some species of wild birds, such as mallards, can carry the highly pathogenic strains of influenza without becoming ill; whereas other species, such as swans, are sensitive to the virus and are more likely to sicken and die.

How is avian influenza detected in wild birds?
Various methods are used to detect avian influenza in wild birds. One method is to take samples from live or hunter-killed birds. The sampling procedure involves quick and simple swabs of the throat and cloaca (combine
Another method used to detect avian influenza in wild birds is through surveillance of waterfowl areas for suspicious deaths in sensitive species. When mortalities occur that are not due to commonon diseases, injury, or natural death, the appropriate samples are taken and submitted for laboratory testing. d genital/anal opening) which do not harm the live bird nor do they affect the edibility of the meat. After sampling, the live bird is returned to the wild, whereas bagged birds can be taken home and enjoyed for dinner. (The sampling procedure is not a test of food safety.) The swabs are then sent to a laboratory for diagnostic testing.
Should I be afraid of avian influenza?
The chances of a hunter encountering the virus are extremely low. Furthermore, in its current form, the virus is not easily contracted by humans.
Although the risk of encountering avian influenza is very low, should I be cautious?
Hunters should always take reasonable routine precautions when handling wild game. The following information provided by the USGS will also help protect you from other transmissible diseases such as tularemia.
How to kill the virus:
Thoroughly washing hands with soap and water (or with alcohol-based hand products if the hands are not visibly soiled) is a very effective method for inactivating influenza viruses. These viruses are also inactivated with many common disinfectants such as detergents, 10% household bleach, alcohol or other commercial disinfectants. The virus is more difficult to inactivate in organic material such as feces or soil.
Hunters should follow routine precautions when handling game:
- Do not handle or eat sick game.
- Wear rubber or disposable latex gloves while handling and cleaning game, wash hands as described above, and thoroughly clean knives, equipment and surfaces that come in contact with game.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling animals.
- All game should be thoroughly cooked (well done or 160° F).
The general public should observe wildlife, including wild birds, from a distance. This protects you from possible exposure to pathogens and minimizes disturbance to the animal.
- Avoid touching wildlife. If there is contact with wildlife do not rub eyes, eat, drink, or smoke before washing hands with soap and water as described above.
- Do not pick up diseased or dead wildlife. Contact your state, tribal or federal natural resource agency if a sick or dead animal is found.

Vea begins his story in present-day San Francisco. The protagonist, Jesse Pasadoble, is a former Army sergeant who's now made a name for himself as a criminal defense attorney. Haunted by wartime memories, Pasadoble has found a way to channel his anguish: his impoverished clients remind him of his suffering comrades, and he seeks a compensatory justice for what he and his platoon lost.
Jesse hated death. He did not fear it, but he hated it with all of his heart and soul. A year and a half of incredible fear in the highlands of Vietnam had been transformed into an almost anguished love the living, intact moment, the moment that can never be possessed. Like many of the men who have witnessed the best and worst in themselves, who have been given a glimpse of the end of their lives at a very young age, he had lost the power to be lonely. The power had been replaced by something else: a soul sickness; a hunger for beauty, but only at a distance. Though he could not love his own life and the things within it, Jesse hated death.His newest client is a 12-year-old boy, a child of the projects who's been charged with the brutal murder of two women. As the case unfolds, the barriers between past and present, America and Vietnam, erode and finally disappear. Meanwhile, Vea expertly marries the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez to his visceral accounts of battle. Indeed, whether we measure by the breadth of his imagination, the strength of his characters, or the hallucinatory power of his prose, there seems to be no novelistic terrain that Vea can't conquer. A chronicle of defeat and suffering, Gods Go Begging represents a paradoxical victory for the author--and, of course, for the reader. --Ted Leventhal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Her awards extend outside the classroom as she was named the Elks Student of the Month for community service, Student of the Month-Integrity.
In her free time, Lombardo enjoys participating in the LHS Ski Club, shopping and hanging out with friends. She also enjoys playing tennis recreationally.
While her activities are plenty, Lombardo still has time to work at Twin Trees 57 in Bayberry.
Lombardo said her grandfather has influenced her the most as he has supported through many things in life.
"From his life experience and accomplishments, he has been able to show me different aspects of life and advise me to move in a positive direction," Lombardo said.
After high school, Lombardo said she would like to attend St. John Fisher College and study pharmacology.

LOS ANGELES – From now on, there's no free ride on the Los Angeles subway.
The Daily News of Los Angeles (http://bit.ly/1asHYeV) says an honor system that allowed fare-fudging riders through downtown turnstiles is over.
As of Wednesday morning, turnstiles were to be locked at Union Station entrances to the Metro Red and Purple lines. Riders must have a TAP card loaded with at least the $1.50 basic fare to gain access. Locked gates will be phased in at other locations.
On the above-ground Blue Line, which has no turnstiles, sheriff's deputies will patrol for ticket evaders.
The crackdown ends an honor system in place since 1990 and Metro officials say it will bring in $7 million more in fares.

I also have my spotting scope tripod do double duty - less to carry.
I figure I have more time when I want to set up my spotting scope than when I want to shoot, so I carry my scope in my pack and leave the tripod top empty for shooting. It only takes a bit to put the scope/plate back on.
On the other hand, if you don't mind carrying them, the trigger-release sticks like the Bog Pod are really quick.

At this Tuesday's work session, Economic Vitality Administrator Greg Fisher presents council with a range of options for economic development. Although no action will be taken, staff will look to council for guidance on where to focus the county's limited resources.
As part of his preparation, Fisher presented his preliminary report to the county's Economic Vitality Action Team (EVAT) for feedback. EVAT advises the county administrator on implementation of the Economic Vitality Strategic Plan (EVSP). The EVAT team met last week, as did the Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation's (LACDC) MainStreet Futures committee. Both discussed priorities for council to consider during its deliberations.
Few opportunities are available for young people to explore a career in business. The Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation has taken steps to recognize young entrepreneurs and lend a hand in getting an early start through its Youth Business Grant Program (YBGP).
Since 1985, the program has awarded more than 240 grants to students in the age range of 13 - 19 hoping to launch summer businesses.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The largest emergency shelter in New Mexico, already at capacity every night, is set to expand.
The Albuquerque-based Joy Junction is scheduled to announce Wednesday plans on building a new dormitory, chapel and women's center.
The move comes as Joy Junction founder and CEO Jeremy Reynolds says the homeless crisis in the state is the worst he's seen in decades due to the economy.
When the county council approved the Creative District Plan in April, Los Alamos MainStreet and the Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation (LACDC) were ready to get started.
The organization sought out developers who could help make the concept a reality and discovered PLACE, a nonprofit organization that specializes in developing "creative urban villages."
"This is not just something coming out of the blue, someone saying, 'Have I got something for you.' This is a very specific strategy expressed in the Creative District Plan. This is something MainStreet sought out. We've done some due diligence," said LACDC Executive Director Kevin Holsapple.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — University of New Mexico students will likely see a rise in the cost of school-sponsored health insurance.
The Albuquerque Journal reports a regents finance committee approved a 22 percent increase in insurance costs Thursday.
The proposal would raise premiums from $300 to nearly $1,700 annually starting next year.
About 2,000 students, including student employees such as graduate assistants, are covered by the school insurance program.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy looks a lot weaker.
U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up.
The dismal jobs data will fan fears that the economy is sputtering. It could also damage President Barack Obama's re-election prospects. And it could lead the Federal Reserve to take further steps to help the economy.
According to her blog devoted to the new restaurant "Dixie Girl," business owner Denise Lane expects to open during Chamber Fest weekend, which will be June 8-9.
In other Smith's news, all the permits are signed to begin work on converting the former Shamrock Station property into a Smith's Fuel Center. Steve Sorenson, vice president for corporate development, told the Los Alamos Monitor the project would go to bid in two weeks.
The Shamrock station will be demolished, and construction is expected to begin sometime in late July or early August. Sorenson anticipates the new station will be open by mid-October.

Trainers Association offers guidelines for weight loss
Tom Bergeron
You're a 250-pound high school football player. And when you look in the mirror - and are honest with yourself - you know you'll be in better shape and play better at 225 pounds.
Do you have time to make that weight in a healthy fashion by the start of practice in August?
According to a report released by National Athletic Trainers Association Monday, you do. But you need to start your training regimen now. And you shouldn't lose much more weight than those 25 or so pounds. In this case, the group says, less is more.
But here's the good news, if it's done properly, teenagers can lose weight while eating real food - and change their diet for the better.
Paula Sammarone Turocy, the lead author of the position statement, said losing weight slowly but surely is the key to doing it correctly.
"The benefit is that you can get the guys to a goal weight and do it in a way where they actually have more energy rather than less," she said.
Sammarone Turocy said the guidelines work for anyone of any age - and whether you are an athlete or not. But she said she has seen the benefits with football players.
"They are able to see the benefit of eating correctly without all those crazy shakes and special pills," she said. "They can achieve it with food. And that gives them more energy and they feel that difference."
It enables them, she said, to achieve what they really want - a quicker and stronger body.
"Once they reach their goal weight, they are ready to build muscle and they have the energy to do so," she said. "I've seen it over and over again. Players' times have improved, their max weight (in exercises) has gone up and they're doing it by eating real food, which makes it easier to maintain."
The guidelines mean a player starting a weight-loss program now has just seven weeks to go before most camps begin in August. And while it may seem possible to lose 40-50 pounds before then, the NATA wants to stress that losing more weight incorrectly isn't as healthy as dropping a smaller amount of pounds in a controlled manner.
But wait: Don't people on those weight-loss shows lose far more pounds than that in the same amount of time?
"They do," Sammarone Turocy said. "But those people have an awful lot of weight to lose. And they are monitored very closely by physicians to make sure they are doing it in a safe manner. And they are exercising half their day; who can do that? Is that realistic for an average person?"
Sammarone Turocy, the chair of the department of athletic training at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, stresses that losing huge quantities of weight over a short period of time is not as good for an athlete because it often indicates losing a large amount of water weight, which isn't a good thing before the heat of a summer practice.
"Beside the obvious problems of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, water is the only nutrient your body needs," she said. "Without water, you can't create and use energy efficiently in your body. If they want to have more energy, they have to have water."
Sammarone Turocy emphasizes losing weight the wrong way, often with diets based on dehydration and food restriction, can affect muscle and bone status - a horrible side effect for a still growing body.
With that, a look at the NATA's seven basic recommendations:

Keeping the trend going this week we'll look at Active Directory Markers in SharePoint Server 2010.
Governance is one of the key planning processes that should occur when considering the deployment of any technology, and SharePoint Server 2010 provides a number of tools and resources to facilitate the product and technology aspects of governance, one of which is the concept of Active Directory Markers to manage and control the uncontrolled proliferation of SharePoint in the Enterprise.
SharePoint Server 2010 uses the Service Connection Point Active Directory Schema (serviceConnectionPoint (SCP))) in order to publish service-specific data in the directory. Administrators can use the data in a Service Connection Point to locate, connect to, and authenticate and instance of the service.
In order to use this new capability you must first create a container under CN=System,DC=<domain>,DC=com, where the values will reside and provide write access to the specific accounts that will write values to the container – in most cases the person or system account used to deploy SharePoint in your environment.
When SharePoint Server 2010 is deployed a Service Connection Point object is created as a GUID under the container created in the previous steps.
The deployed server farm's Topologies Web Service is created with the value presented as :/Topology/topology.svc">http://<server>:<port>/Topology/topology.svc.
The deployed server farm's Topologies Web Service is created with the value presented as :/Topology/topology.svc">http://<server>:<port>/Topology/topology.svc.

I am a real estate broker who has lived in Austin for 20 years now. I moved from Dallas to Austin to attend college at UT and fell in love with this city. I never left. If you need any assistance with traveling, sight seeing, restaurants, shopping, etc. I can definitely point you in the right direction. If you need any real estate assistance I can definitely help with that as well. My favorite thing to do is spending time with my family and friends on Lake Austin. I also enjoy playing tennis, golf, poker, and staying active. I love listening to live music and going out to the many great restaurants in this wonderful city!

A Gallup poll released last week revealed good news: Americans' confidence in the federal government's ability to handle foreign and domestic problems has reached an all-time low. In both areas, a minority of those polled said that they had either a great deal or fair amount of confidence in Uncle Sam.
Yes, I said that's good news.
Skepticism of government is as American as apple pie. The experiment that is the United States was borne out of a colonial revolution against an overbearing master. As the decades have passed, however, the federal government has steadily acquired powers that are vastly beyond what was intended by our founding Constitution. And like a frog in pot of water that is slowly brought a boil, Americans have become acclimated to a world in which the federal government intrudes into every nook and cranny of our lives.
In his seminal work, Crisis and Leviathan, economist Robert Higgs demonstrated that government grows in times of crisis — perceived or real. When the crisis abates, however, the government does not fully recede to pre-crisis levels. In recent years, this upward "ratcheting effect" was exemplified by the massive expansion of federal power in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks. Indeed, the Gallup poll shows that faith in the federal government's ability to handle foreign problems peaked following 9/11. Angry and scared, Americans instinctively turned to the politicians in Washington and said "do something." Now, we live in a country where the government can read our emails, listen to our phone conversations, and monitor our every move with satellites and drones.
The public's "do something" mentality resurfaced with the onset of the economic crisis. Once again, angry and scared, Americans turned to Washington for a solution to a problem that was engineered, in large part, by misbegotten federal policies. With unemployment rising, policymakers rushed to implement policies that they promised would "create jobs." The result was annual federal deficits in excess of $1 trillion, mounting federal debt, and the rise of so-called "crony capitalism." In sum, a heavy price was paid by current (and future) Americans for what is widely considered to be an exceptionally weak economic recovery.
I would like to believe that, having been badly burned in recent years, the Gallup poll reflects a growing recognition by the public that there is no Wizard of Oz residing in Washington. Indeed, having worked in both federal and state government, I can assure readers from first-hand experience that there are only fallible human beings behind the curtain.

Our Story
Kirk Scrima, founder and Loan Consultant for Team Scrima, started as a high-producing loan consultant in the Redding, CA area. He found that more and more loans were getting declined by other lending companies when the market started to change in 2006. When the lender or real estate agent brought him files of loans that were being declined, he could find a way to make the deals work. He quickly became known as someone who could get the loan closed, even when others said it couldn't be done.
Due to the unique and difficult nature of loans in Shasta County, where there is some of the toughest landscape for home loans in the nation, he began to wonder if there were loans being declined in other areas that could be saved?
Of course there were, and this was the beginning of his life-long mission of saving loans and saving homes! As our programs have evolved, we found that it was important to help those who help us. We now save loans, save homes and help those who refer us become more successful. Everybody wins! We're changing lives, so we invite you to join our team of lending professionals who help others and learn how to grow their business and lead better lives!

JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- Jackson officials watch the passenger boarding numbers of the city's airport and worry they might not be strong enough.
According to The Jackson Sun, SeaPort Airlines has until Dec. 31 to demonstrate air passenger service to McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport is viable.
Seaport President Rob McKinney said this month that each flight needs to average six to seven people for the airline to keep its federal contract. So far this year, the average has been two passengers per flight.
Airport Authority records show that through March 266 people had flown to either Nashville or Memphis in the first quarter of the year. Another 143 people have flown into the airport from those cities
City Councilman David Cisco said keeping passenger service is important to industrial development.
