Wasn't there once a good article/study where they killed off a bunch of buffalo on a private ranch testing the effects of various sized rifles on buffalo. I remember reading where the size of the bullet had little to nothing to do with a DRT shot but it had to do with one of 2 things. They had several rifles and several buffalo to use. THey found that the likely hood of dropping an animal in its tracks was the same across the spectrum of weapons regardless. Basically it required the CNS disrubtion or the other thing I found really interesting is the autopsy showed a significantly higher rate of DRT shot when they animals had just exhalled and the pause between hear beats. I remember it from a while back.
For me shot placement depends on the situation. If I need an animal to drop now then high front shoulders are used (for example my wifes bull was only 80 yards from private this year in 2 directions and 15 yards from a nasty cut wash. So she shot a high front shoulder. That same situation with no wash or private would have went for a typical heart lung shot.
At anyrate, watch the shows and while they show several animals DRT, there are many they look for and also realize that most of those animals are smaller bodied white tails and way more of them.

Choosing Sterling Silver Earrings
Sterling silver is in fact an alloy of silver and other metals. Using an alloy instead of pure silver makes earrings much more durable. For many years, sterling silver earrings have been hugely popular. Because there are so many styles of silver earrings available, it's important to think about the size and shape that best suit the wearer's face and tastes. Sterling silver can be accentuated with color by adding pearls, crystals, acrylic beads, and gemstones. You'll find that just about any shape of silver earrings goes well with an oval-shaped face. Women with round faces will likely prefer earrings that are elongated or geometric in shape, perhaps with dangling sterling silver pendants. Heart-shaped faces are best enhanced by short, sparkling sterling silver earrings. Dangling and hoop earrings are lovely beside a square face.
Sterling silver jewelry will always be a coveted fashion accessory. Earrings of sterling silver should be stored in tarnish-free bags or cases to be protected from tarnish and scratches. Polishing cloths are an easy way to clean sterling silver jewelry and restore its shine. When sterling silver is worn often and regularly, it is known to develop a beautiful glow that combines with darkened areas for unique look.

Police warn about phone scam
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
Law enforcement officials are advising people to be aware of a telephone scam in which a recorded message states that a debit or credit card has been canceled and in order to restore the card, certain directions must be followed.
Officials at the Belleview Police Department said that when employees arrived for work Tuesday, their office phones were flooded with messages from people who had gotten such phone calls. Each report was the same - an alert that a credit or debit card had been suspended and the recipient should press 1 to talk to a security officer to fix the problem.
BPD officials said they believe the calls originate from an automated number programmed to call multiple numbers hoping someone will fall prey to the scam.
On Monday, a local man emailed a Star-Banner editor stating that his wife had received a computerized call Sunday about Community Bank of Florida and on Monday he received a call about PNC Financial. Neither of them has a card at either institution.
Authorities say anyone receiving such a call should not respond. Thus far, there have been no local reports of anyone falling victim to the scam.

I would guess that is the same buck with the shape of the horns.
Got trail cam pics. The camera is an infrared style and I could not see or hear the camera when taking pictures. Shocked at how easy the animals could see it, even during the day. I can't figure out evolution. Why would humans not evolve with better eye sight and hearing. If the animals need it why would we not need it. I just think it would be better for all species to have better vision and hearing, I'm not sure about smell. Which one do you think would be the most Useful? I think it would be eye sight.
I think the deer hear your camera, not see it. That's just my hunch b/c Ive noticed how they seem to be looking right at the camera often when they are close to it.
Finally got my 73 harley running and out for a ride yesterday!! After waiting since April for the machine shop to work on my heads which he still hasnt got to and buying used heads that turned into a total disaster between USPS damaging them and the seller not knowing what they fit (I did get most of my money back). The second set of used heads worked out great and its running better then ever
Packmule you must be psychic! 4 people didn't show up for the mandatory training class and I got the tag! Going gator hunting! I'm hoping to find one 10' plus. I got a 8'7" in 2010 the last time I was lucky enough to draw a tag.

UPDATE: Twitter has officially announced the photo filters. The updated apps should appear on your phone soon.
WASHINGTON – Twitter reportedly wants to roll out its own photo filters by the end of the year, potentially in time for Christmas.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, All Things D reports Twitter is currently testing an app update that would bring native Instagram-like photo filters by the end of the year.
Twitter founder Jack Dorsey has been posting a number of filtered photos lately, directly to Twitter.
Instagram, owned by Facebook, poked at Twitter this week by keeping Instagram photos from showing up in Twitter's in-timeline preview.
Instagram is trying to draw more people onto its website who currently post a photo to Instagram then share the link on Twitter.

Young Racers' Club April 2011 - Austin TheriaultWritten on February 22, 2011 This month's lucky YRC contest winner is Austin Theriault from Fort Kent, Maine
Austin Theriault, Fort Kent, ME
A rising star from one of the northern most states in our country is this month's Young Racers' Club winner. Austin Theriault hails from Fort Kent, Maine, a town that sits on the American-Canadian border at the northern tip of Maine.
Austin started racing four-cylinders at age 13 at a track an hour away from his home called Spud Speedway-which had been closed for many years but has since reopened. Two years later, he moved up to the Late Model division, winning the first 150-lap race he ever entered. That win garnered the attention of several Maine-based journalists and he began to make a name for himself around his homestate. Just a few short weeks later, Theriault and his family owned team tried to qualify for his first-ever American Canadian Tour race. That race was held at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine and Austin made the show. With their success in the Late Model in 2009, Austin and his dad then decided to build a car to run most of the ACT races in 2010. While they missed the first few May races, they managed to run the bulk of the schedule and, despite being inexperienced in running a touring Late Model program, they finished Seventh in overall points for the 2010 ACT season.
That in and of itself is impressive enough, but when you factor in the location of the Theriault team's homebase, and that their typical haul is a 10-hour drive, you can tell that this crew and driver are not only passionate about their racing but deeply dedicated as well.
If you're still not impressed (and we don't know why you wouldn't be) Austin is also a varsity high school wrestler and was inducted into the National Honor Society last year as a sophomore.
Up next for this Young Racer is a ride on the ACT for 2011 with RPM Motorsports owner, Rick Paya, as teammate to Brian Hoar. Well, Austin, good luck with that ride and enjoy your $250 gift certificate from Day Motorsports as your prize for being this month's Young Racer's Club winner. Keep an eye on this kid, we have a feeling you'll be reading more about him.

Without adequate lubrication on the cheeks and chin, the daily ritual of shaving can cause facial skin to become irritated and sore. Poor shaving technique can cause razor burn and ingrown hairs. Damage to the hair follicle can even lead to folliculitis, when the skin around the root of the hair becomes inflamed and painful. AHAVA Shaving Cream/Gel softens and lifts the bristles, making shaving easier and reducing the potential for damage to the skin and hair follicles. Produced using a blend of potent plant extracts, Dead Sea minerals, and vitamins, AHAVA Shaving Cream/Gel is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.
The Dead Sea region boasts a unique climate and geology, due to its position at the earth's lowest point, over 400 meters below sea level. This exceptional location has produced sea water, mud, and plant life infused with extremely high levels of therapeutic minerals. AHAVA Shaving Cream/Gel harnesses these natural wonders and blends them into a formulation that delivers measurable results on the skin. Used as part of your daily shaving routine, AHAVA Shaving Cream/Gel calms, soothes, and hydrates.
Shaving successfully every day without irritating or cutting the skin is most likely to be achieved if you develop an effective routine. Begin by cleansing the skin. The steam from a hot shower or bath will soften the stiff beard hair, making it easier to remove with a razor. Apply a thick layer of AHAVA Shaving Cream/Gel to prepare the face. Using a sharp blade, draw the razor across the chin and cheeks. Always work in the direction that the hair grows. Pulling the razor across the hair in the wrong direction is a key cause of razor bumps and ingrown hairs, which can lead to pimples and infection. Complete this routine with a hydrating after shave cream to soothe and relieve aggravated skin. Following a regular routine will help to ensure that your skin remains soft and supple.
Building AHAVA Men's Foam Free Silk Shave in to your daily routine will protect your skin against the damage that shaving can inflict. Massage this rich shaving cream on to your cheeks and chin. The foamless action of this luxurious cream provides effective lubrication for your razor. You can be sure of a close, even shave every time. Date plant and gingko biloba leaf extracts battle the causes of aging, such as fine lines. The proprietary OsmoterTM complex combines with pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E to nourish and hydrate the skin. After shaving, this shaving cream is easily rinsed off with water. Your skin will feel fresh and clean, because no residue will remain on the skin.

I visited my grandparents last week and like any Jewish family, they immediately sat me down at their kitchen table to feed me, lull me into a sense of security, and pry into my personal life. Most of their questions could be answered with simple "Yes, grandma," over a heaping plate of smoked fish. Was I saving for my future? Have I established my career? Am I taking good care of my dog? I chewed slowly. "Yes, grandma."
"Well, when are you going to get married?"
That question stung. I looked up at them, face full of lox, with horrified eyes. My grandfather crossed his arms. "You're 28! Don't you want to have kids? You're not getting any younger. If you're not marrying your boyfriend, and you've been living together for two years, aren't you just wasting your time? What are you going to DO?"
My face collapsed. I excused myself hastily to the bathroom, shut the door, and burst into tears. When I returned, they immediately changed the subject. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool meeting their friends and talking about sciatica and diabetes.
On my way home, I couldn't stop thinking about their questions. I wish I said something and didn't cower in the bathroom, smearing lox grease into my eyes. Here's what I would have said:

(The Rams Tailgate Show) -- Back in April, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he had no qualms going into the season with rookie kickers. By the time of the draft, punter Donnie Jones had signed with Houston, and the Rams were preparing to jettison kicker Josh Brown's big contract. Brown was promptly released after Greg Zuerlein was selected in the sixth round of the draft. Shortly after the draft, punter Johnny Hekker signed as an undrafted free agent.
In Sunday's 19-13 win over Seattle, Zuerlein and Hekker accounted for all of the team's 19 points with a little help from wide receiver Danny Amendola.
Zuerlein has been nothing short of sensational, making his first 12 field-goal attempts as a pro, including eight from 40 yards or more and three of those from 50 yards or more. In Sunday's game, Zuerlein accounted for 13 of the Rams' 19 points, with four field goals and an extra point. He twice broke the previous team record of 57 with a 58-yarder and then one from 60 yards.
Talking about the decision to try the 60-yarder, Fisher said, "I was on the headsets and I said, 'Field goal,' and somebody said 'Field goal?' I said, 'Yeah, it's only 60. It's well within his range.'"
Asked about the confidence he has in Zuerlein, Fisher said, "I have not doubted him once so ever. From the first day he came on the field, he expects to make it. He has great confidence in his leg. The other thing that's important to realize is we have a really fine snapper (Jake McQuaide) and holder (Hekker) and it takes three to put these things down and to put them together. So, it was good. I had a good feeling about them because he missed his second of two kicks in the pregame warmups, first time he's missed one of those."
Hekker, the holder, executed the pass on a fake field goal from the 2-yard line, where Amendola never left the field from the previous play. He hung around near the sideline and lined up very wide and the Seahawks never saw him. A quarterback in high school, Hekker made the throw and Amendola the catch with a little jump.
Said Hekker, "He jumped unnecessarily I think to make it look ... I'm kidding."
Quarterback Sam Bradford, asked if he has given Hekker any passing tips, said, "No, he throws it pretty good. I've watched him play catch before practice, watched him throw it some. He didn't really need any tips. He's a natural."
Back to Zuerlein. When asked about breaking the club record, he said, "I think, really, it says more about the coaching staff than it does about me. I feel a lot of kickers in the NFL can kick from those distances and make them. It just depends on the faith that the coaches have. (Special teams) coach (John) Fassel and coach Fisher are giving me the chances and I think that's the biggest thing."
As for how he earned the coaches' confidence so quickly, Zuerlein said, "I don't know. Maybe they're gutsy. I don't really know about that. They might be crazy."
Of course, mostly it's because he has shown he can make the long kicks with amazing ease.
As linebacker James Laurinaitis said when asked about the different nicknames given Zuerlein, "He's Rook to me. The thing about Greg is that he's extremely calm, extremely confident, and nothing really gets him riled. You can talk to him, and he'll literally be like; he expects to make it every time within 60 yards. Every time. It's not him being arrogant. It's just that he knows his ability, and he works at it.
"You can see at practice. We do field goals at practice, and that guy, he doesn't miss, and if he does, we give him a hard time about it. He's done a great job for us, and I'm sure he'll continue to do a great job for us."

"How can I make some cash off this thang?"
Ana Ivanovic + The Fist Pumps (think Gladys Knight and the...well, you get it) were in a winning mood last night. The former top lady baller defeated current nemesis Alisa Kleybanova 6-3, 6-2 in her opening match at Stanford. NaturAna had lost the last two matches to the Russian, including at Roland Garros in May.
For some reason, the Serb was looking something close to stunning yesterday - maybe it's the slightly longer locks, the lighting, the actual smile on her mug or a new found belief in her game. Who knows (edit: blame this.) But the FPF was in full effect, per the usual, and I guess it actually stood for something this time around.
NaturAna should count herself lucky that she's in Stanford and not in San Francisco. I'd hate for her to wander into the Folsom Street Fair while in FPF mode (yes, I imagine she fist pumps while shopping, sight seeing, and using the loo - "Fist pump, Ajde!, Flush...")
The boys, ladies and "ladies" would put her talent to good use. Well, good for some and TERRIFYING for others. Like me. Icks. No, seriously - ICKS.
UPDATE: NaturAna made her first remarks about the whole Montreal/Wildcard brouhardyha (via Rogers Cup FB):
"Montreal was the first big tournament that I won and it was a special place for me and I do feel a little hurt and dis...appointed by their decision and it's hard, but I have to prove otherwise and play well," she said.I love that she made the Agassi comparison as did I when I wrote about it. Yes, it's a sport (and her job) in the end and there's no room for feeling self-pity. Maybe it's me but I can't imagine going to my boss and getting upset because I wasn't given a project I wanted or my favor wasn't granted.
"When I need a wildcard I see how low is my ranking and that's the hard part. But even though my ranking is quite low I feel I'm playing better than that, I just have to go out and prove it. Other players went through that like Agassi going back to playing Challengers, so you have to stay tough and not feel sorry for yourself."
Like the champs always say, that great win or moment was in the past and today is a new day with new challenges. Right the ship, NaturAna, and all will be well.

You wouldn't take your car out for a drive without gas, so what about your body? Like an engine, we need fuel to keep us going. Exercising on empty can make you feel weak and tired, causing you to slack off or even shorten your workouts—which means fewer calories burned. For the stamina you need to maximize your workout, enjoy a healthy snack 1 to 2 hours before you begin. This will give your body time to digest and avoid cramping. (Keep things moving with these 5 fixes for a trouble-free tummy.) Plus, with these satisfying options, you'll be less inclined to over-indulge post-workout.

As I get some errors when adding/modifying distribution lists and tampering with the user accounts (slapd crashes, 99% CPU usage), I plan to make a version upgrade of my zimbra server from 4.5.6 to 4.5.9, hoping this will help fixing them. The question is whether the pyzor and razor settings I made (for antispam, as suggested in the zimbra wiki) will be kept or if they'll be lost. I'm using FC6 and RHEL4 Zimbra packages (zimbra was installed using the wiki for installing zcs on FC6 64bit and addapting it for 32bit CPUs). Is there any issue of stability using this combination??
Thank you.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It's Monday afternoon after a Wizards practice, and Kevin Seraphin is starving -- figuratively and literally.
The big man seamlessly navigates through the bustling D.C. streets in his royal blue Chevy Tahoe, scoops up his roommate Taylor Joseph from their modest Adams Morgan neighborhood, before finding parking in the heart of Georgetown.
The pair enter Seraphin's favorite French cuisine in town, Bistro Francais. Seraphin greets his girlfriend Allison with a peck on the lips. Smooth jazz plays in the background of the swanky restaurant. Unsatisfied with the table up front, Seraphin requests a private table in the back.
For a guy who picked up a basketball at what has become the ancient age of 14 -- thanks to the AAU world -- Seraphin sometimes finds himself astonished at how far he's made it.
"You only have 450 NBA players and 7 billion people. To me, that's special," he gloated.
In just two years of time, Seraphin has flip-flopped from a player who rarely took off his warmup jersey, to now one of the brightest young big men in the game. The first reason? His mind is still a sponge and competition is his life.
Take last week for example. An old NBA-TV special came on television featuring a behind the scenes look at none-other-than former Wizard Gilbert Arenas. Seraphin became infatuated with the way Arenas "sleeps at the gym." Immediately following the television piece, Seraphin drove to the Verizon Center and took 1,020 shots, leaving the facility around midnight.
Back on December 7th, Seraphin refused to celebrate his 23rd birthday out on the town, even with his roommate Taylor and girlfriend Allison pestering him that he deserved to have some fun. "We keep losing. I feel guilty to celebrate. Not this year," said Seraphin in a frustrated tone.
Off the court, the game playing never ends for Seraphin. He and Taylor routinely play video games and place wagers on the outcomes -- the loser of a recent NBA 2K game (Taylor) has to wash the dishes for an entire month. One evening, the pair bought electronic boats to race in the pool of their apartment complex. The two were introduced through Dallas Maverick Rodrigue Beaubois three years ago, and have been inseparable since.
The manager of Bistro Francais, Chriss Portella, is a close friend of Seraphin. He orders Oeufs Norvegienne, an eggs Benedict dish, in his native French tongue, while sipping on sparkling water. With both arms spread out, Seraphin soaks in this scene, knowing very well how close he was to an inadequate life.
Seraphin was raised in French Guiana, (not France, a common misconception amongst Wizards fans) a country on the Northern east coast of South America -- with a population about the size of Madison, WI. Seraphin was a troublemaker as an adolescent, often skipping school and fist-fighting with classmates.
"I just wanted to be a rebel," recalled Seraphin of his youth, as the table roared with laughter with the way he said it. Things turned eerily quiet. Finally, Allison chimed in: "He was going bad. Very bad. Hanging with the wrong crowd."
With caution, Seraphin went on to describe that many of childhood friends are now either in jail or dead. Drug violence and the lack of a strong government in French Guiana has corrupted too many teenagers.
"If I would've stayed there, oh man. I'd either be a fire fighter, or maybe jailed," Seraphin shook his head in disbelief. Remarkably, Seraphin is now a fixture in French Guiana, instead of a lost cause and waste of talent. He hosts the Kevin Seraphin Basketball Camp each summer. The top player in the camp is invited to Washington D.C. to workout with Kevin for a week, and two others are setup with tryouts in France. He clearly doesn't host the camp for positive media coverage. All he wants to do is create opportunities for troubled kids like himself.
Luckily for Seraphin, he was blessed with height, and was recruited by a basketball coach from France to move to the country as a 14-year-old -- as long as he kept his grades straight. Seraphin obliged and began to blossom, moving his way up through various basketball academies before eventually turning professional with Cholet in 2008.
While a teenager in France, Seraphin was introduced to the NBA through his teammates who streamed games online. Even though he was rising as a top European prospect, Seraphin didn't find American basketball all that interesting. That is until his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, brought him to America for the first time, to a Dallas Mavericks game.
"I was like 'Oh my god, this is just like the movies,'" spoke a wide-eyed Seraphin. Overlooking the city of Dallas from his rooftop hotel, the first-timer became smitten with the highways, bridges, tunnels. Then at the Mavericks game, "everything was just so big," marveled Seraphin. You could call it love at first sight.
From that moment on, America and the NBA were the only thoughts that crossed Seraphin's mind. In 2009, a year after his Dallas trip, the big man returned to the states for the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, OR. Seraphin played a key role on the world team who upset the John Wall-led USA squad, skyrocketing the Frenchman up NBA draft boards.
The Wizards obtained Seraphin's draft rights in a trade with the Chicago Bulls. When David Stern announced Kevin Seraphin's name, the Wizard said it "was the happiest moment of my life." Seraphin jumped right into the American culture upon his arrival to D.C., partaking in what has become an American epidemic: pigging out on junk food.
"Man, I eat Five Guys and Vapiano's every day. I wanted to try everything! It was all new to me," said Seraphin, who quickly put on 15 pounds. Wizards team president Ernie Grunfeld demanded Seraphin lose the weight, which he did, or that he wouldn't see the court. Seraphin flourished at a lighter size and his development of a soft hook shot and staunch defense "caught people by surprise," towards the end of last season.
A waitress delivered the food, which Seraphin carefully inspected, before elegantly picking apart the eggs. He stares into the plate, thinking something along the lines of how his diet is no longer an issue.
The best part about Kevin Seraphin is his cordial personality -- something you can't say about many of today's diva NBA players. He describes himself as "really sweet and cool," but there's obviously much more than that. He has this flawless ability to juggle his manner from goofball to serious like the flick of a light switch. His attempts at humor can be subtle or overbearing in an amusing way. He's up front with his feelings.
Take Kevin's favorite thing about being an NBA player for example.
"People recognizing me in the streets. Hell yeah, that's good!" laughed Seraphin, as Taylor banged the table in disapproval and Allison playfully rolled her eyes.
The goofball side is something you get to see often out of Seraphin, at least in an online capacity. The hash tag #KevinSeraphinLife originated as a way to show fans that the mean mug he displays on the court isn't who he is all the time.
"#KevinSeraphinLife, is just like, I'm telling you my life. It's fun. It's like clowning," laughed Seraphin as he nibbled on a french fry.
The serious side of Seraphin is not an overwhelming makeup of his character, but you better believe it's there. We've read that Seraphin looks up to fellow teammate Nene, but there's a burning fire inside himself which has often made him the Wizards go-to scorer. When asked about how he wants to be remembered as an NBA player, Seraphin rattled off an answer without pausing to think.
"I want to be an all-star. All-star for sure. I don't want to be a guy that people say 'Yeah, he was okay.' I can be an all-star. I can do it," beamed the third-year player who got a nod of approval from both Taylor and Allison.
It's that very figurative hunger, teamed with his French Guiana roots, which will continue to make Kevin Seraphin a better player each year. And eventually, an all-star.

WKYC-DT Station History
A brief look at the history of WKYC-TV Channel 3
Broadcasting from Cleveland, Ohio since October 31, 1948.
Download a copy of our WKYC Station History (pdf)
WNBK Sign On
1948: WNBK-TV, an NBC owned and operated station begins broadcasting and goes on the air as Cleveland's second television station on October 31, 1948. WNBK was the fourth of NBC's five original stations. Between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m., viewers could tune to WNBK programming on Channel 4. Tom Haley, who later cohosted "Today in Cleveland," worked for WTAM/1100 AM - the NBC radio arm of WNBK that signed on in 1930.
Two days after sign on, WNBK transmits its coverage of the Truman/Dewey election results to the NBC Midwest Network. By 1949, the station carries NBC New York's live programming via a cable connection to Philadelphia.
"Today" premieres on January 14, 1952, making WNBK-TV the first television station in Cleveland with an early sign-on time.
WNBK-TV erects the most powerful television antenna in the Midwest and the tallest in the country. With this new and improved signal and the issuance of the FCC's "Sixth Report & Order", WNBK moves to its new location at Channel 3, while WLWC (now WCMH-TV) moves to Channel 4 to alleviate interference. The station remains on this dial position until the digital switch of 2009.
NBC trades stations with Westinghouse. WNBK-TV and WTAM-AM/FM go to Westinghouse in return for KYW-AM Radio and WPTZ-TV/Philadelphia. Westinghouse changes the call letters of the Cleveland stations to KYW-TV and KYW-AM/FM on February 13, 1956. At the same time, NBC moves much of its Cleveland staff to Philadelphia.
Westinghouse drops the "The Tonight Show with Steve Allen" on the NBC network following its 11 p.m. newscast and runs movies. NBC quickly finds a new home for "The Tonight Show" on WEWS.
"Big" Wilson joins KYW Radio as morning show host. Plus, Wilson hosts movies and music shows on the tv side.
Linn Sheldon as "Barnaby"
KYW begins producing a live children's program with host Linn Sheldon as an elf with pointy ears. "Barnaby" premieres on September 2, 1956, and is Cleveland's highest-rated, locally produced show ever. "Barnaby" is all ad-libbed and defines true "live" television.
Westinghouse gets serious about local news. The station starts using the moniker "Eyewitness" for the 1st time with 75 minutes of news from Pete French, Hugh Danaceau (and others)and the 15 minute "Huntley-Brinkley Report."
Channel 3 expands to "Eyewitness News" and becomes one of the first half-hour newscasts in the country. The news team consisted of anchors Carl Stern and Bud Dancy, weathercaster Dick Goddard and sports talent Jim Graner.
"The Mike Douglas" Show premieres on December 11, 1961, as competition for the "One O'Clock Club" on WEWS. The show is hosted by Mike Doud, a lounge singer who changes his on-air name to "Mike Douglas." The show is an instant hit and the rest is history. The show's format calls for one guest to co-host every week. The show becomes the springboard for many celebrities including a 20-year-old singer from New York who was paid $1,000 to co-host five 90 minute shows -- Barbra Streisand. KYW Radio Director, Tom Conway, does comedy skits. Tom goes on to do his own comedy under the name "Tim Conway."
KYW-TV begins syndicating "The Mike Douglas Show" to its other stations. Also, the "Group W" logo appears for the first time in station material.
The FCC and Supreme Court rule the Westinghouse/NBC trade null and void after Westinghouse complained to the FCC that NBC extorted it into agreeing to the original deal. Westinghouse faced losing NBC affiliation for WPTZ in Philadelphia and WBZ in Boston which the group owned. NBC was not allowed to realize any profit from the deal and KYW moves back to Philadelphia, taking along with it "The Mike Douglas Show". The call letters for Channel 3 become WKYC on June 19, 1965. Weatherman Wally Kinnan returns to Cleveland and displaces Dick Goddard who joined the station in 1961. Goddard moves to KYW in Philly for a short period of time before joining WJW. Also, the hugely successful documentary program "Montage," produced and directed by Dennis Goulden, jumps to Cleveland where it focuses on issues and lifestyles of Clevelanders during the 1960s and 70s. The program airs a total of 250 episodes.
Television transitions from black and white to color, and WKYC-TV 3 becomes Cleveland's first all color television station on September 13, 1965. Credit for this goes to the technical advancements made by NBC's parent company, RCA.
"The Tonight Show" now hosted by Johnny Carson moves back to WKYC in September 1965 from WEWS where it aired since Westinghouse drops the program.
Two long tenured personalities join WKYC, Del Donahoo from WOW-AM radio in Omaha and Joe Mosbrook (who retired in 2002).
"3 On The Town" debuts as a half hour show on September 27 with Bud Dancy, Jay Miltner and Linda Hunt as co-hosts. The show evolves into "Our Man Mark" featuring Mark Russell until being canceled August 9, 1968.
"Newsday 90" hits the airwaves with anchors Virgil Dominic, weatherman Wally Kinnan and Jim Graner on sports. This was the first attempt at a full 90 minute newscast with "Huntley Brinkley" airing at 6:30 p.m.
NBC sells off its WKYC-AM & FM radio stations (1100 AM & 105.7 FM) to Ohio Communications.
The news product brands as "Action 3 News" until March 19, 1984.
WWKYC pairs Del Donahoo and Tom Haley for "Today in Cleveland" weekdays at 6:30 a.m. The show runs for 16 years until Tom Haley retires in 1997 and an expanded local news replaces the broadcast.

The station begins to air "The Jerry Springer Show," "Sally Jesse Raphael" and "Donahue" that are produced by Multimedia Entertainment.

STOCKHOLM, December 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Based on the preferences of over 85,000 career seekers with a business or engineering background, Universum has released the first ever European talent attraction index: "Europe's Most Attractive Employers 2012". The index, split in the business category - preferences from business career seekers - and engineering category - preferences from engineering career seekers - reveals the current level of attractiveness that companies have as employers - and therefore their potential to lead the world of tomorrow.
In the business category, Google takes the first position, followed by L´Oréal and Ernst & Young. BMW wins the engineering category, followed by IBM and Siemens respectively. "BMW and L´Oréal attract the students with exciting products and market success. Beyond the power of the consumer brand, the students value the innovation and the international career possibilities," says Jörgen Gullbrandson, Universum's Head of EMEA.
The Top 10 ideal employers segmented by main field of study:
Europe's Top 10 - Business
- L´Oréal
- Ernst & Young
- Procter & Gamble
- McKinsey & Company
- Unilever
- PwC
- Microsoft
Europe's Top 10 - Engineering
- Siemens
- Microsoft
- Bosch
- General Electric
- McKinsey & Company
- Philips
Click here for the full ranking: http://www.universumglobal.com/IDEAL-Employer-Rankings/Europe-Top-50
The study reveals new findings:
1. Professional Services are on top
Featuring companies such as Ernst & Young, KPMG, PwC and Deloitte, this industry is becoming more attractive in the major European markets.
2. Mixed feelings for the Software and Computer Services industry
When engineers are asked, Software and Computer Services is the most attractive industry, ranked before the core engineering industries. Business students, on the other hand, are not attracted by the industry in itself but some of the most attractive employers in the business index come from this industry.
3. Europeans seek professional training and development
"There are high expectations among students to work for companies that help them with their development. Unfortunately, most employers are not perceived to meet these expectations," says Mr. Gullbrandson.
4. Secure employment and an international dimension are important
In Poland, Russia and Germany, 'secure employment' is one of the main criteria for employer attractiveness. In France, Italy, and Spain, the international dimension and possibilities to travel abroad with work plays a key role.

- AnonymousJune 19, 2009 at 8:37 AM
Only at wimbledon it seems, they can seed players higher then their actual ranking because of many reasons. One of them is to help a recent champion/finalist/semifinalist what have you get a better draw. Hence you have maria on the women's side who would not be seeded based on her ranking (60s) and Schuettler on the men's side being seeded higher since he was in the semi's last year. It is really up to the discretion of the LTA i think. Otherwise, everybody else is seeded according to the rankings.ReplyDelete

Unless you can hold your breath for the whole time you're hunting. You won't ever be scent free.
Unless you can hold your breath for the whole time you're hunting. You won't ever be scent free.
I think covering your scent can help some, mostly in swirling or real light winds, but your only real safe bet is to keep the wind in your face.
We've done the Primos test on some pretty stinky stuff and it actually worked but some of the other brands, still was rank after the spray hit it. But I do agree with it not keeping up while hiking high country. Don't think I'd have room for it anyways even if I did want to bring it. Mainly wondered if the smoke "trick" was a joke......thanks for the input guys.
Lol....and I've been known to try and do some pretty crazy things but I'll probably stay away from rubbin crap on my face! But never know...

I'll say it again. Your breath will bust you everytime.
I'm not totally convinced that scent-elimination sprays really work, but I figure if they cut any amount of scent, they're worth the trouble to pack in. Any time you set-up at a wallow, creek crossing, or other ambush site, it might make the difference when an animal comes in from the 'wrong' way. Chewing on mint gum will also help cover any stinky old hunter breath.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
If you are going to take anything take the wipes that are available. They are much lighter and more packable. Like others mentioned, its more for personal hygiene than to cover your scent. With as many wildfires as there were this year, the smoke trick may work. The thing about cover scents is that you need to pick items that are natural from your surroundings; like someone mentioned above, using sage from the area he is hunting.
As a research assistant who tranquilizes "wild" deer for a living, from 15 yds, I still don't use the stuff. As a fairly ultralight backcountry hunter, the thought of carrying scent spray makes me absolutely want to vomit. It's your choice, but you will NEVER catch me lugging that junk around on a backpacking trip.

EEOC Rejects Staffing Company's "Just Following Orders" Defense
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently announced that it filed a disability discrimination lawsuit on behalf of an employee fired because of her prosthetic leg. It not only brought the lawsuit against the company on whose behalf she had been performing work, but also the staffing agency that had placed her there.
The staffing agency had told the employee it was removing her from the warehouse position because the company did not want anyone bumping into her.
The EEOC, however, did not put any stock into the staffing company's "we-were-just-following-orders" defense. From the EEOC's news release:
"Staffing agencies cannot avoid liability for discrimination by saying they were just following an employer-client's orders, nor can employers avoid liability by saying the victim was 'really employed' by their staffing agency," said John Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney in Chicago. "It's a pretty good bet that a worker with a prosthetic leg is always going to be protected by the ADA, and an equally good bet that flat-out firing the worker for that reason is going to violate the law. This scenario should not be all that difficult for employers to avoid. If they don't, the EEOC will be there to make things right."
For businesses, this story is a good reminder that staffing agencies and the employers that use their services often share liability under the various EEOC laws. If you are a staffing company, consider writing indemnification clauses into your agreements to help insure against liability when the company for whom you are staffing discriminates. Otherwise, there is a good chance that the law will not protect you from your customer's discrimination.

A migraine headache can cause intense throbbing or a pulsing sensation in one area of the head and is commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and be so severe that all you can think about is finding a dark, quiet place to lie down.
Some migraines are preceded or accompanied by sensory warning symptoms (aura), such as flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling in your arm or leg.
Medications can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. If treatment hasn't worked for you in the past, talk to your doctor about trying a different migraine headache medication. The right medicines, combined with self-help remedies and lifestyle changes, may make a big difference.

Summary:Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade, points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty.

STEUBENVILLE-The Steubenville Catholic girls' basketball team took its lumps during Tom Winland's first season, finishing with a 4-17 mark.
With five letterwinners returning and the opportunity to better learn his system, Winland thinks his Crusaders will be turning the corner.
"It's nice to come in and have the girls know the system," Winland said. "They don't have to think before they act. Our movement is so much better.
"They are getting smarter and the work ethic definitely is there. They are working so hard and we definitely took a big step forward."
Post players Rachel Irvin and Rachel Rigaud lead the list of returnees along with guard Tori Knight. They are the only seniors on Winland's roster. Irvin earned honorable mention all Eastern District honors as junior.
Junior guard Micca Mirabella and sophomore point guard Miranda Parkinson also lettered.
"We had a great summer," noted Winland, who again will be assisted by his father Dave along with Kelli Petchal.
"We played well in camp against some good opposition. That gave the girls a huge boost in confidence. They know they can hold their own with very good teams."
Junior Renee Dziewatkoski and sophomore Michaela Torrance round out Winland's group of varsity players.
"Any one of our varsity players can contribute in scoring," the Crusaders coach added. "Rachel and Rachel are dominant post players. Tori and Miranda are great shooters. Micca, Renee and Michaela all had great off seasons. They can contribute and score. We'll be looking to take advantage of what the defense gives us. We can spread teams out and we can pound it inside. It's beneficial when you can do a bunch of different things."
Depth is an area that has Winland, an Indian Creek product, concerned.
"We only have seven varsity players so we know we are not going to get by with that number," he pointed out. "Our freshmen group is coming along well and they will have to help us along the way."
There are seven freshmen on the Central roster, including Rachel Dziewatkoski, Haley Hartzall, Lauren Hunt, Kara Kakasick, Alex McComb, Hannah Ondos and Nichole Virtue. Sophomore Ana McNamara also is a member of the squad.
The Crusaders open the season with a home game against Tuscarawas Central Catholic. Bellaire St. John and Beallsville are new faces on the schedule for Central, which competes in Division III.
