Pasadena City College men's sophomore swimmer Stephen To, the defending state champion in the 200-yard butterfly, opened the South Coast Conference dual meet season by winning that event at a PCC-hosted double dual against Mt. San Antonio and Chaffey Colleges held March 1.
To (pronounced "toe") swam 2:00.24, a slow mark for him, but enough to beat second-place swimmer Thomas Harper of Chaffey (2:01.38). To swam 1:50.12 at last year's CCCAA State Championships when he won the title in the 200 fly as an underdog.
Mt. San Antonio defeated the Lancers, 201-70 and Chaffey also handed PCC a 180-89 setback in the team scoring. Mt. SAC overwhelmed Chaffey, 168-113.
In the 200 freestyle, To took second at 1:48.57, but that mark was only .25 of a second off the time he swam at the SCC Finals last year. That's a good sign for To, whose times will only get better as the season progresses. Chaffey's Kyle McCurley edged out To at 1:48.10.
Michael Chiodo recorded PCC's other event win in the 200-backstroke with a time of 2:09.30. Chiodo beat out Mt. SAC's Michael Joven to the wall at 2:09.97. Chiodo was second in the 100-backstroke (58.19) and third in the 200 individual medley (2:10.97). In the 200 medley relay, the Lancers placed second on the swimming of Chiodo, John Darrin Smith, To, and Tanick Nitinthorn (1:43.87).
Christopher Anderson continues his improvement in the 1- and 3-meter diving as he scored 151.75 points for third place. Smith placed fourth in the 100-freestyle (52.44) and fifth in the 50-freestyle (23.73).
The PCC men's swimming and diving team will next be in action on March 8-9 at the Chaffey Invitational.

Dansko Harlow Black Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
These versatile shoes bring best of both worlds…a clog and a mary jane. These are great with jeans, capris, dresses…you can dress them up or down. I get a lot of compliments on them. They're also extremely comfortable (they're Dansko, to be expected). True to size. I wear a 7 and the 37 is perfect. The Mahogany is a beautiful color…basically as pictured only more luminescent in person. Get these shoes!
My first experience with Dansko shoes was 9 years ago - I bought a pair of their clogs and found them too wide and sloppy. I loved how they looked, but after falling down in them several times I gave them up.
Recently I learned that I have something called plantar plate degeneration. Basically, I need a sole that is stiff, lots of support, and a stabilized heel with room to wiggle in the toe box. My doctor recommended Danskos.
I was very surprised to try on a few different styles and notice that they have really changed over the years. In these shoes I am totally pain free, plus I am stable and comfortable on my feet all day. (I'm an elementary teacher and always on the go.) I do not feel the heel is too high because of the arch and outside support provided by the structure of the shoe. The velcro strap is really, really strong.
All the way around, it is a great shoe.
A word about sizing: I usually wear a 42, but apparently I am a 41 in Danskos. Check their size chart. Also, my big toe was just barely touching the tips of the shoe. The clerk showed me that I can take a stick of some sort (either a broomstick or the backend of a drumstick) and just push the toe out a little. It does not show at all on the outside of the shoe, but just 1 millimeter of stretch made a huge difference in comfort. He explained that you can do that for any leather shoe, which makes sense - I just never thought of it.
I am definitely looking forward to my next pair of Danskos!

Editor's Summary
At ASIS&Ts RDAP13 Summit, one panel explored the shared interests and challenges faced by researchers, institutions, various repositories, publishers and the public. Common hurdles include engaging researchers in the process at the outset, organizing and documenting research data, contending with diverse media types and file formats, spanning disciplines and rewarding participation. Amy Nurnberger of Columbia University Library noted the importance of understanding authors needs and recognizing comparable issues faced by libraries and publishers. Jared Lyle of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research stressed the value of working with researchers early in their process and establishing a personal, supportive and consultative connection. John Kunze described tools available through the California Digital Library to facilitate data curation at several stages of the research process, ultimately depositing data to a repository and enabling its publication and sharing. The collective experiences highlighted common themes, including the value of local collections and partnerships as well as the need to simplify the process with easy-to-use tools.

Partnerships Between Institutional Repositories, Domain Repositories and Publishers
by Gail Steinhart
Numerous stakeholders have an interest in ensuring that digital research data are made accessible and preserved for the long term. Stakeholders include researchers themselves, their institutions, their discipline-based communities and repositories, publishers and the general public. These stakeholders have diverse perspectives and goals but also share a common interest in advancing discovery and preserving and providing access to the scholarly record. Curating the record is a complex undertaking, with many tasks, tools and roles. Creating partnerships among stakeholders is emerging as one way to address the complexity of the tasks at hand. Partnerships can be explicit, with agreements to work together toward a common goal, or implicit, as when an organization works to develop tools and resources to meet its own needs while also addressing those of a larger community.
The three speakers on this panel, Jared Lyle of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), John Kunze of the California Digital Library (CDL) and Amy Nurnberger of Columbia University Library, identified several challenges related to curating research data.
For institutional repositories, as well as domain repositories and publishers, these challenges can include persuading researchers to expend the time and effort required to submit their data to a trusted repository; organizing, documenting and enhancing research data to make it usable by others and preservable over the long term; dealing with a wide range of media types and file formats; working with data from a broad range of disciplines and providing incentives and measuring impact in order to reward researchers for sharing data. Overcoming these challenges and making research data widely available supports validation and replication of research and facilitates new discoveries. The partnerships described by the three panelists all offer some distinct advantages to working independently to achieve these goals.
Partnerships Between Domain Repositories and Institutional Repositories
Jared Lyle described ICPSRs work to engage institutional repositories and data librarians to collect and curate research data [1]. Inspired by the work of Green and Gutmann [2] and with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, ICPSR has been making available its considerable expertise and curation resources to local curators. Work by ICPSR [3] showed that while in spirit researchers are willing to share their data, in practice they are less inclined to do so, with lack of time, resources and expertise presenting considerable barriers. Nevertheless, the significant value of shared data was apparent, with many more secondary publications (publications authored by individuals not associated with the core research team) resulting when data are shared than when they are not. A related study, examining the fate of data from NSF- and NIH-funded projects, showed that about 20% of projects had archived their data, about 50% had un-archived copies and nearly 25% of projects could no longer retrieve or locate their data [4]. Taken together, these studies suggest an opportunity for local data curators if they engage with researchers earlier in the research process, recruiting datasets into their institutional repositories and/or domain repositories such as ICPSR and finding ways to demonstrate the value of shared data. Lyle pointed out that by intervening earlier and by making the data curation process more personal, local curators might be more successful in recruiting data for deposit than those at more remote data archives.
While local curators may have easier access to researchers and their data, domain repositories tend to have greater and more advanced curatorial resources. Working with a handful of institutional partners to collect and curate several historical demographic data collections, ICPSR is experimenting with making available to their partners tools such as QualAnon (an anonymization tool for human subjects data) [5] and providing access to their data processing pipeline. Some challenges they and their partners have encountered along the way include the need to select and appraise candidate data collections. Institutional partners find themselves in the position of having to sift through content that investigators had not necessarily intended to deposit, often with little initial information or guidance from the data owners. Some of these collections are stored on obsolete media or are in unreadable file formats. While institutional partners do enjoy a local advantage in terms of access to researchers and their data, researchers still have difficulty finding the time to work with curators to interpret, organize and document their datasets.
In spite of these challenges, ICPSR identified a number of productive roles it can play to facilitate data collection and curation at partner institutions. From a survey of repository managers and curators, ICPSR found that help with media recovery, format migration, data recovery, cost estimation, tools for metadata creation, policy review and confidential data dissemination are all useful for institutional partners. ICPSR can also serve as a community wayfinder by continuing to develop resources such as the
Guide to Social Science Data Preparation and Archiving [6].
Partnerships Between Publishers and Institutional Repositories
Amy Nurnberger, Columbia University Library, described the librarys work with the Public Library of Science (PLoS) and the Ecological Society of America (ESA) to better understand the behavior and requirements of authors with respect to sharing and depositing data related to their publications. She noted that the library and publishers share common goals, including a commitment to serving the scholarly community to advancing scholarship through publication and data sharing to supporting robust connections between publications and their underlying datasets and to ensuring that authors and data owners are properly credited for their work. She noted also that libraries and publishers face the same challenges and questions: locating and recovering datasets, understanding how data are reused and understanding and overcoming barriers to data sharing.
Implicit Partnerships: Serving the Curation Community at Large
In the spirit of offering tools and capacity to a larger community, John Kunze described some of the work of the California Digital Library and how it benefits researchers and the data curation community at large. Kunze argued that libraries are well positioned to do this work, given the broad range of stakeholders, libraries status as neutral entities and their experience preserving the scholarly record. Nevertheless, data present some new and different challenges in comparison to journal articles, the more traditional form of research publication, particularly when it comes to incentives for researchers to publish their datasets.
CDLs tools target different stages of the research process. At or even preceding the data collection stage, the DMP Tool
[7] simplifies the creation of data management plans by providing a series of templates customized according to research funder and by partner institutions to meet the specific needs of their researchers. DataUP
[8] works with Microsoft Excel to help researchers create metadata for spreadsheet-based datasets, obtain a DOI and deposit directly to a repository. To facilitate data publication, the EZID service
[9] supplies researchers with a permanent identifier (currently DOIs - digital object identifiers - and ARKs - Archival Resource Keys - are supported), even in advance of publication, making it easier to link datasets and related publications. The Merritt repository
[10] (a University of California instance is available to UC system researchers, and the software itself will soon be available for use by other institutions) and ONEShare repository (a special instance of Merritt, linked to DataUP and available for use by anyone) make it possible for researchers to store and share their datasets. Finally, to make data publication attractive to researchers, CDL is a founding member of DataCite
[11], a consortium which aims to support data citation, discovery and reuse. Kunze noted that there are other important activities in the data citation area, including Thomson Reuters
Data Citation Index and the development of alternative approaches to measuring impact such as altmetrics and ImpactStory.
Common Themes
Everyone is busy. Lack of time and resources is consistently challenging to researchers, even when they are supportive of sharing data. Partnerships that relieve researchers of some of the burden of preparing data for sharing and archiving can help to address this problem. ICPSRs practice of enhancing data selected for their collection is one such example, when it can be extended to include institutional partners, as it has been in cases where partners are granted access to ICPSRs data processing pipeline. Placing curatorial tools directly into researchers workspaces is another promising strategy. CDLs DataUP is an excellent example of providing curation tools in a familiar and widely used environment.
Local service providers have an advantage. Both Lyle and Nurnberger asserted that local data curators have an advantage in working with researchers. When working locally, the process can be more personal and can also proceed iteratively. University research offices are also increasingly taking an interest in data retention and in helping researchers meet the requirements of funders, which can help local curators gain traction with researchers. While it may be too soon to tell whether researchers prefer to deposit data in their institutional repositories, in domain repositories (where more specialized tools may be available and where there may be added value in having datasets co-located with similar content) or with publishers, local contacts to assist with the work of curating research data are helpful. Coupling the greater access to researchers that local contacts such as librarians have with the considerable expertise of institutions such as ICPSR and CDL holds great promise for addressing data curation challenges.
Heterogeneous data pose challenges. The numerous file and media formats encountered by curators, as well as researchers idiosyncratic approaches to managing their own data, make it difficult to establish consistent processes and workflows for dealing with research data and/or require curators to set a lower bar for preparing data for archiving. Its not just institutional repository managers that face this challenge: ICPSR and CDL have faced it as well. ICPSR is currently working to integrate a video collection into its data archive that will quadruple the size of its entire collection and that presents some challenges with respect to preservation quality, as well as possible confidentiality and disclosure issues. CDL, in managing repositories for the University of California system, has decided to make their repositories format agnostic, while doing their best to encourage researchers to adopt preservation-friendly file formats.
We need better tools. ICPSR and CDL currently serve the curation community admirably by providing a variety of tools for use by repository managers, curators and researchers; however, the discussion took a lively turn when Kunze pointed to a class of repositories that have largely been absent from the discussion: services such as FigShare and SlideShare. These services are very popular among researchers, cross disciplinary and very easy to use, leading him to dub them a new category of low-barrier repositories. There was some discussion as to whether the research library community and their partners should attempt to develop similar services and some concern over the sometimes unclear business and preservation models of these currently available services. The discussion also touched on the need for better metrics and tools to help researchers demonstrate the impact of data, and by implication, increasing the importance and recognition of these activities with respect to tenure and promotion.
Overall, it appears some of the curation communitys most productive approaches and strategies are emerging from stakeholder partnerships, with some impressive successes to date. A solution developed by one organization can be widely adopted and applied by others, avoiding duplication of effort to solve common problems. Partnerships can also exploit local contacts and local knowledge, facilitating relationships across institutional boundaries.

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session: June 18
Does anyone actually like this weather?
Could some baseball players possibly like playing in this hot, sticky weather? According to manager Trey Hillman, he's got some players on his team that relish playing under these types of conditions. "You bet man, Jose Guillen and the rest of the Latin players grew up playing in this kind of weather, they can't wait for it every year," said Hillman. "There is a comfort level there for some of the guys, you like what you know, even if it is weather that feels like 120 degrees."
Hey, a little something for the effort
Hillman was raving about the new-found power in Jose Guillen's legs allowing him to seemingly give more of an effort on the basepaths and in the field. "He just seems to be playing harder, I don't know what else to say, he looks like he is enjoying what he's doing out there," said Hillman. Again, Trey said there is something to playing in warmer weather for most of the Latin guys. Whatever the case, the manager is excited about the effort he is seeing from his starting right fielder.
Coco Crisp
The Royals centerfielder is continuing to work on the lower half of his body, keeping in shape the only part of him that can move without obvious pain. His upper body with his bum right shoulder is unable to do much of anything, making him incapable of throwing a ball, or swinging a bat. "Another evaluation will be made in the near future, but at the moment and for the time being, we are shutting him down," stated Hillman.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jrue Holiday justified his recent
selection to the Eastern Conference All-Star team with a career-high night,
leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 97-80 rout of the New York Knicks at Wells
Fargo Center.
Shaking off a 3-for-12, nine-point performance in Tuesday's loss at Milwaukee,
Holiday racked up a personal-best 35 points along with six assists to enable
the 76ers to avenge a pair of double-digit losses to the Atlantic Division-
leading Knicks earlier in the season.
Evan Turner and Nick Young added 20 points each to help Philadelphia win for
only the third time in its last 11 outings.
Carmelo Anthony paced the Knicks with 25 points, but went just 9-of-28 from
the floor, and New York shot a poor 34.6 percent as a team while never leading
at any stage.
Amare Stoudemire did make 8-of-13 field goal attempts in turning in a season-
best 20-point effort off the bench during the setback.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - A 23-year-old Metro East man was sentenced Tuesday for enticing an underage girl to commit prostitution, US Attorney Richard Callahan said.
According to court documents, the St. Louis County Police Department's Special Investigations Unit was conducting an undercover prostitution sting operation in June 2012 to see if minors were being offered for commercial sex via the Internet. The operation took place at a local hotel in the county.
An undercover officer responded to an online ad found in the "escort section" of the St. Louis "backpages" on Backpage.com. The ad used an out-of-state area code and showed several sexually-suggestive pictures of a young female purported to be 19-years-old. The undercover officer made contact with this individual, who was later taken into police custody. When police told her they suspected she was a minor, the girl confirmed she was 17 years of age.
After further investigation, police determined Richard Anderson of Cahokia was sending the girl out for sexual encounters and arrested him.
Prosecutors said Anderson admitted to generating most of the posts on Backpage.com and marketed the girl's services for commercial sex. Anderson also kept all of the minor's earnings for the sexual services rendered.
Richard Anderson pleaded guilty to one felony count of enticement to engage in prostitution in September. He was sentenced to 65 months in prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release.

ATLANTA -- At the ToysRUs in Alpharetta, the early morning rush never materialized since Black Friday started at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
"I came last night, and there were a couple hundred people in line," shopper Christina Watson said. "I went home and came back at 4:30 this morning. It's been great. It's empty, and I got what I was looking for."
Best Buy waited until midnight to open, and it paid off at the North Point store with a busier Black Friday than last year.
"I think our company still sees the value of the holidays and taking care of our employees, so I don't think we sacrificed a whole lot," general manager George Chiste saidr.
Hundreds were in line when the store opened at midnight, but the crowd thinned out by 4 a.m. By then, the door busters were sold out.
It wasn't just electronics that had shoppers on the hunt for deals.
The Northlake Kohl's store also opened at midnight, and the checkout line grew quickly with shoppers looking to save on sweaters and shoes.

Rollcage Build Process - A Cage Fit for HumansWritten on April 16, 2003 Ten Points On Building A Rollcage
In an effort to learn more about rollcages, we at Circle Track visited Bob Schick's race car chassis-builder's shop, AMF Chassis, in Lake Hamilton, Florida, for some hands-on info. Schick walked us through the building process and explained how and why each step is performed. This truck is being built for a local driver, Bill Davis, who will race in the Parts Pro Truck Series throughout Central Florida.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The first step is to remove the factory frame from the truck. Schick sends the frame out to be cleaned and have the old paint sandblasted off. Here he is measuring to check for squarness of the frame.Once the frame is back, Schick mounts it onto a work rack (arrows), where it's checked and made square and level.The frame must be mounted on this rack because most factory frames can be off by one to two inches; also, the rack will prevent the frame from moving during the 'cage-building process.The first step is to weld "X" bars inside the framerails. This will increase the strength and prevent the frame from twisting.Next, weld the side frame/weight rails (arrow) onto the factory frame. The Parts Pro Truck Series requires any additional width to be applied equally on both sides of the frame.With a good, solid foundation in place, Schick attaches the rear hoop (arrow). To meet regulations, the rear hoop and all main bars must measure 13/4-inch diameter with a wall thickness of .095 inch.The top hoop (arrow A) and two front down bars (arrow B) are welded in place to form a four-point 'cage. Schick proceeded with the horizontal dash bars (arrow C) in the front and rear.Before Schick goes any further, he installs and removes the engine with the headers attached. This is done to check for clearances when mounting the front hoops (arrow A) and diagonal triangles. Once Schick has determined the clearance, he then adds the radiator and its supports (arrow B). The supports allow a forward mounting location for the front hoops (arrow C). Next, he adds smaller tubing--1- to 11/4-inch, .065 gauge--to form triangles for additional strength. Next Schick designs and adds the front suspension.
Then, Schick builds the new frame box and welds it in place. This box will house the fuel cell and support the rearend and suspension.At this point, most of the 'cage is complete, so Schick moves to the truck's interior. He assembles the floorpan and foot box (arrow) with 14-gauge sheetmetal. Once he fits them in place, he installs the seat mounts, seatbelt mounts, and steering-column mount. He also adds the brake and gas pedals. Behind the driver seat, Schick sets up the battery box.The last of the main components to weld in place are the door bars. Shick saves them for the end because they ease entering and exiting the truck during the building process. The vertical door braces (arrow) are staggered to keep radiant welding heat from weakening the steel. On the exterior of the door braces, 14-gauge steel plate will be added once the body is fitted to the 'cage. ct

Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)
One of the most common complications of obesity in dogs is the development of diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes). Obesity causes insulin resistance in which the cells of the body are not sensitive to insulin. Since insulin moves glucose from the blood into the cells, this will not occur. This causes the blood glucose level to rise. Insulin resistance causes the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin to "burn out" and stop producing insulin. The lack of insulin along with high blood glucose levels results in diabetes.
Damage to joints, bones, and ligaments
Extra stress on joints caused by an increased weight load can also lead to damage of certain ligaments. Ligaments are tough, fibrous strands of tissue that hold one bone in proximity to another bone in joints. One of the ligaments in the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament, is very prone to strains or tears. If this ligament is torn, the knee becomes very unstable and the dog is reluctant to use it. Surgery must be done to repair this torn ligament.
Certain breeds of dogs, such as Dachshunds are prone to develop intervertebral disc disease ('slipped disc'). Carrying extra weight increases the probability that they will develop this painful and sometimes debilitating condition.
Heart disease and increased blood pressure
As in people, overweight dogs tend to have increased blood pressure (hypertension). The heart has an increased work load since it must pump additional blood to excess tissues. This can lead to progression of heart disease.
Difficulty breathing
In overweight animals, the lungs can not function properly. The additional fat in the chest restricts the expansion of the lungs. The extra fat in the abdomen pushes against the diaphragm, which separates the abdominal cavity from the chest. This also results in less space in the chest for the lungs to expand on inspiration. To make matters worse, the increased quantity of tissue puts an increased demand on the lungs to supply oxygen. These changes are especially serious in dogs who may already have a respiratory disease.
Decreased stamina
Dogs who are overweight have less endurance and stamina. Carrying all that extra weight around takes a lot more work. The heart, muscles, and respiratory system are all asked to do more than they were designed for.
Heat intolerance
Fat is an excellent insulator, which is fine if you are a polar bear. But if you are an overweight dog in the heat of summer, the excess fat can make you miserable, and much less capable of regulating your body temperature.
Decreased liver function
The liver stores fat so when a dog is overweight, an increased amount of fat builds up in the liver. This is called hepatic lipidosis. This condition can result in decreased liver function.
Increased surgical and anesthetic risk
The effects of obesity on the heart and lungs have serious ramifications during anesthesia. Cardiac arrest (heart stops) and poor circulation of oxygenated blood to the tissues can occur.
Many of the anesthetics are taken up by fat, so an overweight animal will take longer to come out of anesthesia because the anesthetic must be removed from the fat by the body. In addition, many anesthetics are broken down by the liver. A fatty liver may not be as efficient at breaking down anesthetics and other drugs, so again, recovery may be delayed.
The increased fat in the tissues makes surgery more difficult. Basically it is harder to find or get at what you are looking for. The fat obscures the surgical area. For example, in abdominal surgery in an obese dog, there may be literally inches of fat between where the skin incision is made and the organ you need to work on, such as the urinary bladder. This makes the surgery technically more difficult and the procedure will also take longer, which again increases the anesthetic risk.
Reproductive problems
Overweight dogs tend to have more problems giving birth than dogs at their optimum weight. This difficult birthing is called dystocia. Dogs experiencing dystocia often need veterinary assistance to deliver their pups, and may require a cesarean section (C-section).
Digestive disorders
An overweight dog has an increased risk of developing constipation and may also have more problems with intestinal gas and flatulence, which is not pleasant for the dog or the owner.
Decreased immune function
Obesity in the dog is associated with decreased resistance to viral and bacterial infections. Canine distemper and Salmonella infections, especially, seem to be more severe in dogs who are overweight. The exact cause(s) of this lowered resistance to disease in obese dogs is unknown.
Skin and hair coat problems
The risk of skin and hair coat diseases are increased in dogs who are overweight. The skin may fold in on itself creating pockets, which are ideal for the accumulation of oils and the development of infections.
Increased risk of cancer
The exact link between obesity and developing certain cancers is unknown. However, there have been studies which suggest that obese dogs tend to have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancers, including a particular type of cancer of the urinary bladder. A recent study also found that dogs who were obese at one year of age were at greater risk of developing mammary tumors.
Decreased quality and length of life
It is evident from the above discussion that the health, ability to play, even to breathe, are diminished in overweight dogs. Overweight dogs may become more irritable due to being hot, in pain, or simply uncomfortable. Overweight dogs die at a younger age than those maintained at an optimum weight.
It is clear that we are not contributing positively to our dog's health when we allow them to become overweight. The next time those big brown eyes say, 'Can I please have a treat,' think very carefully first. In most cases, your answer should be 'No, and I'm doing this for your own good,' and it will be absolutely true.

As with an increasing number of other complex issues, policymakers engaged in immigration reforms must be acutely attuned and responsive to public opinion and media representation of immigration.

Ethiopia next in line to pass anti-homosexuality bill in Africa
Newscast Media ADDIS ABABA—African countries are protecting themselves from
what they believe is the influence of some of the negative aspects of Western
culture, by passing laws that may be offensive to the West.
Ethiopia is now set to pass its own version of the anti-gay bill that was endorsed last
week by the cabinet, and is widely expected to pass when MPs put it to a vote next
In Ethiopia, same-sex acts are illegal and punishable by up to 15 years in prison. A
25-year jail term is also prescribed for anyone convicted of infecting another person
with HIV during same-sex acts.
Ethiopia's president often pardons thousands of prisoners during the Ethiopian New
Year. If the bill becomes law, the president will lose his power to pardon prisoners
who faced charges ranging from homosexuality to terrorism, according to a report
by ABC News.
It would not be far-fetched to envisage an anti-gay bill taken before the African
Union for a vote, as a way of African leaders demonstrating solidarity toward one

I guess that I'm not surprised at the results you have from that rifle, although I'll bet a lot is good marksmanship too. You obviously have lots of experience with this caliber.
The rifle I was considering must have sold already. I'll watch for another one. With the recommendation you give it, I feel certain that I need that caliber. I probably have 1 more brown bear to shoot someday and my son needs to get one. That's a rifle I would have him use while I probably would stick with my .375H&H. If you can take an Eland with it, moose and bear should be perfect. Those Eland look tough and huge!
Do you hunt the reindeer out in the Aleutians or on Kodiak? I know some big ones are taken in the Aleutian Islands but I've never travelled out there to hunt them.
Thanks for sharing the info.

Well after many years of baiting I may have found a real smartie pants. We have a dandy (Carmel) almost blonde colored bear and about 40 crows that have been on our bait for the past week. In all 900 trail cam pic's the bear and the crows are in the bait together.
Well last Friday & Sat. night this smartie pants came in to about 30 yds. below the bait and laid down. You could see him listening and looking around. Both nights he eventually just got up and walked away. At first I was stumped as to why he didn't come to the bait. Well when he did the same thing the 2nd night I was sure of it. He is laying down there and listening for his buddies (the crows) to tell him it's OK to come to the bait.
Well smartie pants I put up a 3rd treestand about 20 yards below the bait so if you come lay at your "Listening Spot" this Sat. night you might just get a new tatoo from my Carbon Express Mayhem Hunter using a VPA 100gr. Terminator as a ink (Blood) spreader!!!
Wish me luck!

At what point is BDC going to recognize screennames like Triumph the insult comic dog who come here just to insult Sox fans? He couldn't BE more obvious.
I mean what more do you have to do to have the mods believe you're here to just insult people and not discuss anything? This guy wouldn't last a day insulting Yankee fans on a Yankee board. At some point, BDC should be protecting Sox fans from having to deal with this nonsense.

Just when you thought the RapeLay mini-scandal was over…
Kevin McCullough, the conservative blogger who in 2008 lit the fuse that would eventually detonate as pop psychologist Cooper Lawrence's misguided attack on Xbox 360 hit Mass Effect, is back.
In a piece for the conservative Townhall blog, McCullough draws similarities between the despicable RapeLay PC game and President Obama's just-signed stimulus package.
You can't make this stuff up. Here's what McCullough, who eventually backed off of his incorrect allegations against Mass Effect, wrote regarding RapeLay and the stimulus package:
This week Amazon.com after many complaints finally decided to ban a virtual reality game called "Rapelay." Defenders of the game say it's not real rape because it only occurs between computer animations. There are no genuine side effects. And it won't impact reality.
Sort of like what liberals sound like when it comes to our money. The money we work increasingly harder to earn. And with one uber-partisan vote they take away. Taken faster than the speed of light or at least in shorter than being allowed to read the legislation that does so.
In the game Rapelay, reviewers have stated that the player must first sexually assault a mother character and her two daughters before being allowed to then "pick" their next series of victims.
In the Congress of Washington DC liberals have seen to it that our mothers and daughters will have less money in the home budget working for their protection and welfare.
In the game Rapelay the reviews indicate that the rapist can even convince one of the animated computer characters that they like what's happening to them.
In Washington DC liberals in Congress sent their lapdog "Mr. President" out to the masses to do the same thing…
I've tried to be as tasteful as possible in explaining this comparison, and due to the passion of the natural man that was not an easy thing to do!
Class act, that Kevin McCullough…

There has been some controversy surrounding the latest MTV list of "Hottest MCs in the Game." A$AP Rocky is not pleased with the list and says he should be ranked at the top. The list had him at number eight but he firmly believes he should be at number one and he hit up the LA Leakers to explain his take on the matter.
"All my videos are shitting on any Hip Hop video out there. Let's be honest. The reason why everybody is wearing gold again is because of your boy. Everybody's wearing diamonds. I'm the one who made the John Lennon shades with the glasses—everybody wearing it now, you see what's going on now. Come on, who brought gold teeth back? Let's be honest...Honestly, I brought it back in a dramatic way. I made braids hot. Let's get off trends."
"I'm the first artist who grew enough balls to say, 'I listen to Geto Boys, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, N.W.A. and Wu-Tang at the same damn time, and what?' And I'm influenced by all of them...But moving aside from the fact that I broke boundaries with not only that, but what other rapper is on the cover of Vogue?"
"Forget trends, let's get off trends. Lets get back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody. Who brought that flow out? I don't even use it no more. Everybody using this. Everybody rapping like that now.
"It's frustrating when I'm number eight. Don't put me at all. I need to be number one."
He also acknowledged that his father died and that he has not had time to mourn his death because of his work schedule. Rocky isn't the only one upset with the list. Kanye West also had some words about it.

Hospital Enforcing Visitor Policy Due To Flu Outbreak
January 23, 2013
With influenza still spreading across the country, one local hospital is reminding people that only two patients per visitor are permitted at one time. At Wheeling Hospital, Medical Director Dr....
"Two patients per visitor"... ???
You mean if I show up to visit my ONE sick relative in the hospital, that they will wheel another patient/stranger gurney into the room so that they can visit with me too?
Strange policy, wouldn't you say NR?

A man walked into a convenience store early Monday, announced he had just been carjacked and said he and would be killed by two gunmen waiting for him outside in his car if he did not rob the store.
According to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports, the man walked into the Kangaroo store at 5160 S. Pine Ave. just after 2 a.m. and told the cashier his story. The cashier gave him about $55 and the man got back into a newer model white Chrysler 4-door sedan and drove away.
The cashier said she didn't see anyone in the front passenger seat and could not tell if anyone was in the backseat because of the car's tinted windows, the reports state.
The man was described as white and in his mid-20s, with brown hair and brown eyes. He stands about 5-feet, 7-inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds. He was wearing a white shirt and dark shorts at the time.
Anyone with information about the case can call the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP.

Few neighborhoods are as lovely as Gramercy, arguably the most charming area of New York City.
Situated between Murray Hill and the East Village, Gramercy has a relaxed, old-money type of feel. It's no wonder, as in pre-civil war New York the brownstones and mansions facing the park were the poshest places to live in the city. Former New York governors and presidential candidates have lived in Gramercy, as did young Theodore Roosevelt.learn more about this neighborhood
