The Worst Got Worse
It has gotten worse. They've made JFP even harder to find, the organization is even more unwieldy, the design is even more incompetent, and the entire site is utterly clunky.
Here's a hypothesis. If a medium-sized number of members were to coordinate a day and time to login all at once, the site would surely crash.
30 comments:
I agree, assuming that by "medium sized" you mean "three."

For the first time since I was in graduate school (which is longer ago than I like to recall) I let my APA membership lapse. And I have likewise heard from colleagues that they are no longer members either. Mine was a pure cost-benefit analysis: I just did not see what I got in return for my dues. I do not attend the meetings regularly, and I would then just be better off paying the non-member registration.
- March 9, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Wow. I haven't yet found the JFP. I did a search in their little search engine and the slick new Web "only" search engine came out on top. It's awesome. Everyone should try it (you have to log in): http://www.apaonline.org/APAOnline/Members_Only/JFP/Web_Only_Ads/Volume_193_Web-Only_Ads.aspx

8:02: Got me. Good catch.
- March 9, 2012 at 10:46 PM
Sprios, why the hell don't you quit APA and organize a serious boycott of it? Seriously. Sticking with it is irrational.
- March 10, 2012 at 12:13 AM
It is also irrational to suppose that one person can organize a boycott of a national philosophy organization.
- March 10, 2012 at 4:15 PM
Everybody knows it'd be better if it blew up
Everybody knows that the website sucks
Everybody who visits it probably threw up
Everybody knows the management's incompetent fucks
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

It's really not that hard to find the JFP. Members Only, Publications, Bam.
I agree that the APA website is awful, that they're awful, etc., but seriously, finding the JFP is not hard and may even actually be more intuitive now than it was before.
Of course, if you could just click on "JFP" upon signing in, that would be even better. But that makes too much sense.

Why hasn't Leiter commented on the Cambridge philosopher child porn conviction? It seems like very important information for propective students.
- March 12, 2012 at 3:08 AM
Anoymous 3:08: possibly because the philosopher is *ex* Cambridge? Why would gossip be relevant for prospective students?
- March 12, 2012 at 7:48 AM
Anonymous 7:48:
That is not gossip. This guy was convicted, though he had retired seven or eight months prior. Also, during his time on the faculty, he provided online reviews of prostitutes on behalf of an escort service (which provided these women in exchange for free and positive reviews). The latter incident resulted in an eight month suspension from teaching.

- March 12, 2012 at 1:26 PM
The entire site is also inaccessible if you use Safari--there's just an error message if you try to navigate to the main page. I called the APA to let them know, and the response was basically "we know, use something else."
- March 12, 2012 at 1:27 PM
Gossip can be true, what makes it gossip is that it is lurid details about someone's personal life, of absolutely no relevance--the guy si retired.
- March 12, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Well, I am appalled how Cambridge have handled the situation. He just gave a talk there in 2011 after his child porn arrest!
- March 12, 2012 at 2:29 PM
Right 2.29. How dare Cambridge apply the presumption of innocence. Think of all the children who regularly attend Cambridgr colloquial.
- March 12, 2012 at 3:06 PM
When I first read the comment about the Cambridge child porn don, I thought that this was a reference to Tibor Fischer's *The Thought Gang*. Life imitates art, indeed!
- March 12, 2012 at 9:04 PM
3:06 - presumption of innocence is a principle which applies to courts.
It's hard to see why it should bar philosophy departments from retracting invitations to dons previously found to have slept with prostitutes in teaching rooms, and now arrested on child pornography charges.
- March 13, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Why is it bad to use a service in return for providing positive reviews? Is this something about consumer advocacy?
- March 13, 2012 at 1:09 PM
10.59: of course it doesn't debar philosphy departments from retracting invitations. But 2.29 claimed that retraction was *required*. Presumption of innocence has a moral counterpart, making this requirement implausible.
- March 13, 2012 at 2:20 PM
When/where did 2:29 claim the retraction was "required"?
- March 13, 2012 at 5:06 PM
5.06: 2.29 is "appaled how Cambridge handled the situation"; viz, that he gave a talk there after arrest. Now how can we interpret that as *not* saying that retraction was required?
- March 14, 2012 at 3:13 AM
3:13: But the presumption of innocence just doesn't hold here - and you'd need to spell out exactly what moral counterpart you think does apply, as I just can't see any plausible one - the straightforward corresponding moral principle would disbar retracting the invitation, but this is permissible.
Further, In this case we've got two pretty good bits of evidence that make it reasonable to conclude it is likely that the guy did what he was arrested for - (i) he was charged for it, and (ii) he has been caught up to no good in the past. That's not enough for a court, but is enough for us. I can see how someone could reasonably think that makes non-retraction reprehensible.

Wow, you really don't get this presumption of innocence thing, do you?

9.58 "Wow, you really don't get this "we aren't in court" thing, do you?"
Wow, you really don't get the distinction between a purely procedural rule and a morally justified rule, do you?
- March 16, 2012 at 10:18 AM
I think you've missed the point. Some of us are expressing our doubt that there is any morally justified presumption of innocence outside of court. If you have a justification, by all means present it!
- March 16, 2012 at 10:51 AM
The news report says that the images were between levels 1 and 5 on the COPINE scale. Calling that "child porn" is a distortion.
Anyway, WTF has this got to with JFP?
- March 18, 2012 at 6:15 AM
Just to verify the obvious, checking their xhtml markup (on 03/24/12) returns 85 errors and 33 warnings: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apaonline.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Worth noting re: the APA: there is a 9AM session at the Pacific in Seattle yet onsite registration does not open until noon. This would not be an issue if the APA did not give participants session locations until registration. Also, we did receive a badge checking warning.

I am a first year M.ARCH student (in the 2 year program). This class is especially interesting for me because I am considering using healthcare design as my focus... partially because I like the complexities/possible innovations associated with such design and of all the building typologies healthcare is especially in need of good architecture.

As promised, in this post I'll touch on a few tips for flower arranging and container design given by experts in Canadian Gardening's Green Room at the recent Style at Home show.
Elene Nouri and Jennifer Christiani, custom designers at Sheridan Nurseries' Scarborough store, had some excellent advice on creating winter container arrangements. They securely tape a block of floral foam (such as Oasis) to the top of the soil in a container, which allows them to create a more layered, three-dimensional and fuller arrangement, as they can then insert greens and branches sideways into the foam as well as straight down into the soil. They advise soaking the floral foam in water to which they add a little liquid Sta-Fresh, a preservative, for half an hour before attaching it to the container, as this makes it less brittle and crumbly and easier to work with. After greens are arranged, they spritz their foliage with Sta-Fresh spray to further prevent them from growing yellow and bedraggled-looking. Once temperatures drop, the floral foam will freeze and hold branches securely in place.
Kate Seaver of Kate's Garden had some great advice for keeping cut roses fresh. When you get your roses home, cut their stems at an angle and put them into lukewarm water with a bit of flower food. An angled (not straight across) cut allows the free circulation of water and nutrients up the stem. Be sure to strip off any foliage that would sit below the water line, as it will start to decay (this holds true for any cut flower). Change the water in the vase every two days, add a bit of flower food and cut the stems a bit each time. Pick off outer rose petals if they look spent.
If your roses' flower heads suddenly droop, it doesn't mean they're dead, it likely means there's an air bubble in the stem. To cure this, recut stems, lie the roses flat in a sink and add lukewarm water until flowers are covered (if your sink is too small, use the bathtub). Leave roses immersed in water for about 20 minutes, and they should perk right up again.

Lobster and Caviar Burgers? Wendy's Menu Goes Upscale in Japan
In the U.S., Wendy's popularity is based on such signature items as its fresh, square ground-beef patties and the Frosty. In Japan, where the fast food chain is looking to expand, it's taking a decidedly more upscale approach, with burger toppings such as lobster and caviar.

Thousands of protesters across North Carolina are using tax day to show their distaste for government spending and federal bailouts since President Barack Obama took office.
From Charlotte to Edenton, more than two dozen towns and cities
saw protesters holding "tea parties" on Wednesday. WITN covered rallies in Greenville and New Bern where hundreds of people turned out.
Cary resident Mark Isaacs attended a protest in Raleigh holding a sign that showed a taxpayer pulling a cart advertising a free ride. The 50-year-old chemical supplier echoed other protesters' concerns when he said the government must stop spending money it doesn't have. He said his daughters will shoulder the debt.
Other protesters said tax cuts would better stimulate the economy by allowing Americans to keep more of their own money.
It's a high-stress day for income tax procrastinators who have a midnight deadline to file their returns.
It's also going to be a day of protests across the country by people who feel they are Taxed Enough Already -- TEA -- hence the name Tax Day Tea Parties.
Rallies against government spending are scheduled across the nation, more than 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party tax revolt.
Organizers say they're steamed at government spending since President Barack Obama's administration took over.
They started yesterday when about 200 people gathered at the
Missouri state Capitol.
Rallies are planned today in many Eastern Carolina towns, including
Greenville, Jacksonville, New Bern, Morehead City, Goldsboro, Roanoke Rapids, Edenton and Currituck.

Good, I hope they shoot'em all before they get to califorina..... because it'll be a sancuary for them here, just like for the cougars.
The AP.
BILLINGS, Mont. — A federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected a lawsuit from conservation groups that want to block wolf hunts that have killed more than 500 of the predators across the Northern Rockies in recent months.
Late. But another step forward

I read an article somewhere that a wolf from an Oregon pack crossed the border into California, that seemed to be a big deal and a lot of people seemed to be excited about it. Sorry to say it Muleys 24/7, but once a pack has established itself in California they will be there to stay. But at least the mountain lions will be less of a problem.

I herd OR7 just got back to cali in the last week or 2. You guys better find him and SSSASAP!!! oops did I type that out loud
On the 5th of march he came back and on the 9th he went back to oregon again. check out his updates on this link http://californiagraywolf.wordpress.com/

I love that they rejected that. This season I found a 350 class bull killed by one or two wolves. It's time for them to be taken under control!
In the process of buying a new set up!!!Easton Full Metal Jacket Arrows, Rage Broadheads
Badlands 2800 Pack, ALPS mountaineering pack frame
I know that they are tracking OR7. But how many wolves are here in CA that aren't collared? Just somthing to think about.
I just read an article about a pack of wolves that in the Jackson Hole area, apparently they are really close to the town and are attacking dogs. Its only a matter of time before they attack a kid playing outside. I hope this does not happen but it might take that to get some people to realize that the wolves are actually a problem. On the bright side maybe they will contract parvo from the dogs and start dying because of it.
There have been a few wolves seen in towns in Idaho and Montana. Getting pretty hungry when they are that bold.

Thanks for the tips. You are so right about everything! I also don't sit and play with my two year old very much as I did with my son who is 4. I am currently nursing a 3 month old too, so she just gets left to her own devices so often. The worst part is that she doesn't even mind.
I did notice when my son was younger though that discipline issues improved by hundredfold when I spent more time paying real attention to him during the day. I have a habit of doing other things while appeasing them in the attention category. I need to make a better effort to fix that. Of course, with homeschooling in our plans, I will soon be forcing myself to be very present.
Thanks for your thoughts, I will check out that parenting site you suggested.j
ps. Forgot to mention it, but I loved the craft you did for valentines where you sewed the cards, me and the kids did something similar and had a blast! I posted about it on my blog at the time but forgot to thnak you!
Thanks for the Parenting Passageway link!
I also appreciate this post. My 3.5 year old is also a better kid when I spend some quality time with her, something we don't get enough of since her sister was born 3 months ago. I have a hard time giving each kid the attention they need (my 3 month old doesn't nap much). I find it hard to stay connected, sometimes I just want to sit and watch TV while I nurse the baby, then stay sitting there, relaxing while she sleeps.
I vow every day I will try and do better than I did the previous day. I am really having a hard time with two kids. I admire people like you who have a good balance. Sorry if I seem scattered with my comment, my brain cells aren't working together today.
love this idea! we are sorting fools over here, and I have been looking for ways of using the gazillion egg cartons I have saved.
Thanks! Can't wait to check the site you mentioned, my friend. Always love stopping by!
Love your blog, I am going to pass this on to the teachers I work with!!!

YORKVILLE - Evolution in the Buckeye 8 has spurned some new rivalries and extended some old ones. Matching Martins Ferry and Buckeye Local has always been a ticket seller's dream. Big crowds, exciting football and most always an unpredictable finish.
Friday night at Memorial Stadium it was an unpredictable start that resulted in an unexpected finish.
Three pass interceptions by the Purple Riders' Damon Outward, an offense that churned out 274 yards on the ground and a defense that limited a usually potent Panthers offense to just 64 totals yards led the way to a 40-0 Martins Ferry victory that spoiled Buckeye Local's Homecoming activities.
With a victory, Coach Dave Bruney's Riders boosted their record to 5-1 and prepped for a tough match up with Indian Creek. The victory also marked the 12th in 19 games opposite the Panthers.
Coach Phil Pest's Panthers, playing without the services of two-way standouts Austin Marshall and Devon Pyciak, saw their record dip to an even 3-3. Buckeye is back in action on Friday traveling to Union Local.
''We know what it is like to play short-handed like that,'' Bruney said. ''We have a couple guys hurt, but I think we have a little more depth that Buckeye does. They play hard though.''
Ten different players ran the ball for the Riders and Bruney had five different receivers hail in passes.
Starting on their own 27, the Riders put together a 73-yard, 11-play drive that featured five carries by quarterback Eric Flowers that covered 29 yards and set up Brandon Laughman's 17-yard TD off the right side for the score with 3:32 on the board. The pass for the PAT was off the mark as the Riders led 6-0.
A fumble on the ensuing kickoff that was collected by the Riders' Kyle Rine set up the next Martins Ferry score. A 25-yard Flowers to Sean McGee pushed the ball to the Buckeye 10. Laughman then swept the left side to score from the 10 with 2:23 on the first-quarter clock. Flowers up the middle to tack on the PAT for a 14-0 lead.
Outward picked off one Buckeye Local pass late in the first and added another with 4:20 on the clock in the second to set up the third Riders score. Starting from the Panthers 42, the Riders followed the running of Flowers, Marcus Sutton and Laughman to inch the ball to the 2 on six plays. Bruce Burger then plowed off left tackle to added another Ferry six-pointer with 1:12 on the first half clock. Flowers' pass to sure-handed Cody Schau added the PAT and pushed the margin to 22-0 at the intermission.
Ferry wasted little time adding another score in the third as Flowers connected with Schau for 29 yards on the half's second play, then two plays later the pair hooked up again for 28 yards and a score with 10:15 on the board. The PAT attempt failed.
''We got beat in every phase of the game,'' Buckeye Local coach Phil Pest said after the loss. ''With those two guys out, we had four positions to fill and that's not easy. We played flat. We couldn't get started and we couldn't stop them.''

Salt Lake City, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - So much for not being able to force
turnovers. The UCLA defense intercepted Utah quarterback Travis Wilson six
times in the 12th-ranked Bruins' 34-27 triumph over the Utes on Thursday. The
Bruins, who had only forced three giveaways coming into the game, picked
Wilson off for the final time with 24 seconds remaining and the Utes driving
for a potential game-tying score at the UCLA 23-yard line. Brett Hundley was
17-of-27 for 211 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran for 85
yards and a score on 20 carries for the Bruins (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12), who are
4-0 for the first time since 2005. Paul Perkins carried the ball 16 times
for 92 yards, Jordan Payton caught three passes for 68 yards and a
touchdown and Anthony Barr tallied two sacks in the triumph. Wilson finished
22-of-44 for 288 yards and two touchdowns for Utah (3-2, 0-2), which was
coming off a Sept. 21 victory against BYU. Dres Anderson hauled in six
receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown, while Sean Fitzgerald brought in
five balls for 53 yards and a score in defeat.

Edlinger Died in Fall Down Stairs
Iconic soloist and pioneering free climber Patrick Edlinger died, according to a report in Corriere dello Sport, as a result of falling down a flight of steep stairs in his house. The 52-year-old climber reportedly had mattresses placed at the base of the stair as a precaution, but fell and hit his head on the floor in between a gap in the pads.
Also according to reports, Edlinger struggled with alcohol, though he had resolved to beat the addiction, which he considered his greatest challenge. Whether drinking was involved in the accident is unknown.
According to a study by the Loughborough University of England, 1,000 people die each year falling down stairs in Britain alone, while more than 100,000 are injured.
Edlinger became internationally famous in the mid 1980s after a series of bold and dramatic free solos in France's Verdon Gorge. For More: Edlinger

My wife! She always lets me do the shooting and is willing to help out in any way she can.
My wife! She always lets me do the shooting and is willing to help out in any way she can.
I would have to say my dad, he's not around anymore and I really miss hunting with him. If it wasn't him I would have to say Nate Simmons or Marc Smith. Never met Nate, but I think you could learn a lot from him. Marc is just one hell of a guy, and hunts hard.
Shoot STR8
I would like to hunt with Fred Eichler just because he never seems to take himself to seriously and get amped up even when he kills a small animal
i would love to hunt with Cameron Hanes, and if i had the chance, i would be plenty motivated to get in shape! I love the idea of getting way, way, into the backcountry and not seeing any other hunter. I think Nate would be a ball to hunt with. I would certainly learn a tonne from each of them.
I love to hunt with my dad, but he can't keep up with me in the backcountry. My wife is a great hunting partner, and if I could hunt with Mr. Hanes or any of the Eastman's crew I would take up the chance in a heartbeat.
I'd be happy to hunt with just about anyone more experienced than me or someone less as well. You mostly always learn something new from someone.
I'd choose Cam, Nate, or South. Not sure I could keep up with'em but I'd sure try!!!
~ go deep - hunt hard - or go home - we're hunting not camping ~
Wow. That would be a tough decision. My list to narrow it down would include Nate Simmons, David Long, Dwight Schuh, Marc Smith, South Cox, Cameron Hanes, Roy Grace, and one no one has mentioned - Fred Bear. With that said I'd probably go with the legend Fred Bear. However, how could you go wrong with anyone on a list like that?
Will Primos. Older than I am, full of gleanable knowledge, and well of coarse I like his calls.
I hunt because......
Though I would learn tons by hunting with Cameron Hanes, Nate Simmons or Ryan Hatfield; My best friend from high school and I have never had the opportunity to backcountry hunt the west together. Just never have been able to put a hunt together. That would be a very meaningful hunt to me. Of course if we're wishing; I wish I could spend a fall with Fred Bear back in the old days.

Time to pay the man.
I will NEVER question this team again. NEVER. You can lay an egg every year (ahem...Mizzou) if you bounce back like this.

my thought the whole second half and overtimes was that this wasn't necessarily a "coaching" game, it was an "effort" game all the way. I don't think Rhoads & co outcoached Gundy, but the team certainly out-efforted them.

50% of them worked
Nov. 8, 2015
I recently purchased two Nesco 30 cup double-walled coffee urns. One of them works perfectly, the other drips constantly from the pour valve. I'm disappointed in the initial quality of these items and would love for Nesco to contact me regarding repair or replacement options.

It Is Awesome
Jan. 10, 2015
We may be decaf drinkers but this is totally awesome to make the coffee taste fresh brewed all day. It Does develop a small ring around in the bottom which clears out with a magic eraser with each rinse.
I do wish I could obtain coffee filters to fit this pot as I am having to use four standard size that are staggered in it at the present time. I just feel it is cleaner.
Very easy to clean with running vinegar through it.

We were extremely thrilled to be a part of Idea Camp – Washington, DC last weekend. Anytime there's an opportunity to share a roster with the likes of charity:water, The ONE Campaign, International Justice Mission, Global Need, InvisiblePeople.tv and a slew of other incredible organizations – we're there! The event was
The full event and main sessions are being processed for the web and will be posting as part of their Vimeo profile. Big THANKS to Daniel "DK" & Sadie Kim (the crown she made me was a big hit, plus they may have the cutest kid ever!), Dawn Carter, and Sam Song for their work behind the scenes to pull it all together. Also MASSIVE thanks to Charles Lee for his oversight to the entire project and he banks in relationship capital in ways we haven't dreamed of yet.
As for the workshop, I was fortunate to be the facilitator of a session called "Augmenting Your Story with Video" – here's what we talked about:
There was a great mix of people who were interested in film, organizations that were testing the waters with film/video and then there was the guys from Chronicle Project. Everyone who was in the room already understood that film/video was essential to their voice being heard in today's world. Fortunately for me there were a truck load of videos shown at the main session including Deidox | Lindsay and charity:water's latest campaign for September Birthday's.
The best part was that we talked about this short at great length. It had launched just a few days before ICDC and I was so impressed by it that I found out who made it (Upstream Visual from Austin, TX) and sent them an email congratulating them on such great work. It captured a great balance of story (info), great visuals (shots) and left me wanting to take action (connection).
Other thoughts/issues/solutions that came out of the session:
- Be able to tell me your goal/what you do in a sentence. (Stop Modern Day Slavery, Give Clean Water to the World) If you can't tell someone don't expect your promo to fix that.
- Everyone has a friend who has a camera – that doesn't make them storytellers. You get what you pay for.
- Do research on the company you're hiring – check their previous projects. The work that they've done is likely to be the work that they'd continue to do. Make sure you like the look and the feel of it.
- Animation = crazy cash. It's gorgeous but it's time intensive.
- HD is a must
What have you seen lately that you've liked? What do you think of charity:water's latest campaign video?

A Nation at Risk?
November 17, 2010
Delivering a post-election address to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Board of Directors today, Thomas J. Donohue, president and CEO of the Chamber, vowed to lead the business community in working with the administration and Congress toward advancing a specific set of recommendations that are essential to expand the U.S. economy, compete in the world, and create American jobs.
Calling America a "nation at risk," Donohue said the Chamber will expand on its agenda to lead efforts to advance sound trade and energy policies, stem the rising tide of regulations, address our faltering schools, modernize our crumbling infrastructure, and reign in skyrocketing deficits.
"We're prepared to join with President Obama, his administration, and both parties in Congress to achieve these goals," Donohue said in an open press speech at the Chamber's bi-annual board meeting. "Our economy is simply not expanding fast enough to reduce unemployment and create 20 million jobs. It's time to get serious. It's time to act. We've been diagnosing our problems for years. How about some treatment?"
Donohue proceeded to outline eight key areas of focus for the Chamber going forward:
• Supporting sensible regulations?The Chamber is adding resources, including a regulatory economist and greater activism in our two legal organizations, to support sensible regulations and oppose regulations that unnecessarily stifle job creation
• Doubling exports?Launching a major education and advocacy initiative to change the debate on trade, highlighting the benefits, opportunities, and competitive realities to expanding trade.
• Addressing the debt crisis?Undertaking an "economic risk assessment" to identify threats and vulnerabilities to the explosion of government debt, and act on these risks through tax and entitlement reform and deficit reduction measures.
• Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure?The Chamber is releasing a series of annual performance indexes covering the major components of our nation's infrastructure – transportation, energy, water, and broadband – to document our needs and build the case for investments.
• Creating an innovation society?By launching the U.S. Forum for Policy Innovation, the Chamber will drive serious education and worker training reform, expand corporate social responsibility across the globe, and preserve, protect, and advance the free enterprise system.
• Empowering small businesses?For small business leaders' voices to be heard, the Chamber will leverage its federation to establish a team of small business advocates who will travel the country and speak to organizations and the media on the challenges facing entrepreneurs.
"We can help our nation solve its problems—beginning with the overriding challenge of putting America back to work," Donohue said.

I have condensed my previous post and questions so it is a little easier to read and gets right to the points that I would really like for someone to help answer. Thanks!
My first question…is it typical for larger, more dominant bucks to isolate themselves this time of year (August 6th) and in some cases already start gathering their harems? Also, of the bachelor groups, will all the bucks stay in the same general area over the fall or will they spread-out much? Will the larger bucks stay in the same area?
The second question is that when we spotted the bucks on this scouting trip, a lot of them, and probably mainly the more dominant and larger ones, would make scrapes in front of us. They knew we were there so was that a way of showing aggression towards us to "protect" their harem" or were they just nervous? Most of the time this occurred when there were other does around. They would paw at the ground and then make droppings where they just scraped. Is this common this time of year? I think I remember from Mike's book that they make scrapes most of the year?
The last question I have is that the area that we scouted consists of 95%+ of grassland and pastures (like most antelope country), but there are a few small alfalfa hay fields and some cut grass hay fields (round hay bales are still sitting in some of them). It seemed that we would find antelope in these areas, especially early morning and evenings. I know they probably use this as a feeding area but I also know they feed on the taller, uncut grass as well. I did spot some of the antelope bedded right in the alfalfa in the middle of the day so I am uncertain if they were bedded there or feeding there? Maybe both at the same time? If I were looking to setup a ground blind, when can I expect the antelope to feed, bed, and water? I am uncertain if they also bed in these fields? Do antelope feed all night? I know they feed throughout the day and water in the day because of their small stomachs. How and when do I hunt this area and get in and out without spooking the antelope? What times of day and night do they generally a) feed, b) bed, and c) water? Any more insight on this would be extremely helpful.

10 Gorgeous Blue and Green Kitchens
Kitchen Inspiration
There's a really lovely, easy tranquility that comes when you combine blue and green in the kitchen. These sea-inspired colors really work well together, particularly when the shades veer into the deeper, jewel-toned hues.
This color combination can be as dramatic or subtle as you want. Go full-on saturated, like photo #2, or soft and sweet with a lot of white, like photo #8. Personally, I love the richer, brighter shades, like the teal and kelly green pairing in photo #1. So pretty!
What do you think?

10 News Investigator Noah Pransky
TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- Integrity Florida, a non-partisan watchdog group in Tallahassee, will release a report Thursday morning assessing opportunities to tighten up Florida's notoriously-loose ethics laws by addressing them at the county level.
The report will identify a number of areas Greater Tampa Bay counties could adopt better ethics policies to make officials more accountable.
Recent scandals in Hillsborough County alone have affected former commissioner Jim Norman, former commissioner Kevin White, and former Property Appraiser Rob Turner.
"Because it's been about 36 years since the state legislature acted on ethics reform," said Dan Krassner with Integrity Florida, "our state ethics laws are essentially frozen in time. But local governments are allowed to go further than state law."
Integrity Florida will delve into progress made by individual Florida counties, including local ethics commissions created in Duval, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. In Tampa Bay, a number of findings stand out:
Hillsborough County
While the county has yet to adopt ethics ordinances any stricter than the state's, Integrity Florida compliments the county's lobbyist registry and gift-restriction policy. Yet no formal ethics training leaves room for improvement.
Pinellas County
Required ethics training is a feather in the county's cap and staff is currently drawing up a new ordinance to address commissioners' possible conflicts-of-interest, which are currently unregulated. The county also requires lobbyists to register.
Sarasota County
Integrity Florida applauds Sarasota County for hiring a full-time ethics officer and capping financial donations to local political candidates at just $200. All employees and elected officials also attend ethics training to help - among other things - detect and report fraud.
Polk County
Integrity Florida reports Polk County does little to combat ethics issues other than adherence to state law; with no local ethics commission, lobbyist registry, or conflict-of-interest policy, there is room for improvement.
Manatee County
Ethics training is provided to staff and officials on a periodic basis, but few county ordinances govern ethics.
Integrity Florida will release its full report, "Tough Choices: Florida Counties Bridge the Ethics Policy Gap," Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in Tallahassee.

Jobs abound in careers involving math and science, and a new program will help local school teachers give their students a start in these subjects.
Colorado Mountain College has received a $150,000 grant from Chevron to develop and provide a summer science experience for elementary and middle school teachers from the Garfield Re-2, District 16 and DeBeque school districts.
The state of Colorado tests children in science in grades 5 and 8. In 2010, 53 percent of Colorado's children scored below "proficient" in grade 5, and 51 percent were below "proficient" in grade 8.
"Research tells us that knowledgeable, confident and passionate teachers are essential for students to explore their own curiosity about science," said Michael DeBerry, manager of Chevron's Rocky Mountain Area. "We are delighted to partner with Colorado Mountain College and the local school districts to help educators teach science in fun and relevant ways. Working together, we can help our schools excel."
CMC's campus in Rifle plans to offer one week of summer training to 24 teachers, with three additional days of training and follow-up during the academic year. During the training, teachers will build their science content knowledge, as well as learn effective ways to make science fun and engage their students through field work and field trips.
Throughout the training, teachers will be able to pilot potential science activities and determine which activities will be most appropriate for their students.
"We don't want science curriculum to fall short as state budgets get tighter," said Dr. Susan Birdsey, superintendent of the Garfield Re-2 district. "Partnering with Chevron and CMC helps us stretch resources while bringing another dimension to our science education initiatives."
Chevron has also provided grants to the CMC campus in Rifle for Chevron Community Cinema and other cultural offerings, supports the student fees fund and underwrites scholarships for nontraditional students.

Orbea Orca Gold Derailleur HangerView Larger Image
Heaven forbid you're ever involved in a crash, but the reality of our sport is that accidents sometimes happen. In the event of a crash or lateral impact, your derailleur hanger is designed to bend or break off, as a safety measure to protect your carbon fiber Orca frame.
Due to the soft nature of the alloy used to make the Orbea Orca Gold Hanger, most drive-side mishaps will merely affect this replaceable hanger and not your frame. This secure hanger was engineered to be replaceable, yet it's still plenty stiff for snappy rear shifts.
Choose between anodized Red, Blue, or Titanium colors to best match your frame.

He decided to show up Sat evening and run does around for a little bit.
That's a great buck as far as I am concerned anywhere.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
That one needs to go on your wall.
He might next year. I have 1 13"+ buck tag (which is asinine) for the county and plan on using it on a different place.
Nice! You can only get 1 buck tag? Ouch.
That dude looks great this year, so hopefully he sticks around and will be a mega buck next year. I know a lot of people don't like the new antler restrictions in Texas, but it should help the deer quality some. I know my father in-law wasn't thrilled about their county having the restrictions, but you can already see a difference being made.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
It'll help places with a high hunter density, but trail cameras becoming cheap technology seems to have done more. People now have visible confirmation that there are good deer to hunt even if they are nocturnal, when in the past they had to sit on a stand to see them.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A WUSA9 undercover investigation documents black passengers waiting longer and being stranded on DC streets by 25% of cabs who passed them by in favor of white customers.
To know about developments in our DC Taxi investigations, follow @russptacek on Twitter or Facebook.
In response to the investigation WUSA9 is creating an online portal,WUSA9 iAlert, allowing passengers to immediately document discriminatory practices on phone videos and authorities to take action.
WUSA9 iAlert could prompt taxi fines up to $500
Passengers can use the WUSA9 iAlert link at wusa9.com, e-mail their videos directly to firstname.lastname@example.com, or bookmark wusa9.com/iAlert on their mobile phone browser.
Drivers can be fined up to $500 for refusing to take passengers to their destination.
Nearly 100 cabs tested
We tested nearly 100 taxis over three weeks on Saturday nights from 6:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. We tracked WUSA9 decoys acting as passengers , and volunteers including people we met on the streets to see who DC cabs would choose DC cabs would refuse.
See the video to watch cab after cab drive right past our black male and female passengers and pickup white passengers we'd located 100 feet up the street.
Out of 53 cabs tested with a white decoy near a black passenger, 13 taxis drove past the black passenger and picked up the white passenger.
Of cabs tested without a decoy, our investigation showed black passengers waiting up to three times longer than their white counterparts.
Drivers denied seeing black passengers
Cabbies routinely denied ever seeing the black passengers.
One driver actually stopped, but denied our black passenger's Southeast DC destination request saying. If you listen carefully to the video, you can hear the driver refuse service saying he has a call to pick up "white girls."
But, for our white passengers, cabs would do u-turns in the middle of the street.
Even unlicensed cabs stopped for white passengers
Private - unmarked, unlicensed taxis passed our black passengers, but stopped 100 feet later offering rides to our white passengers.
One black sedan pulled up to our white staffer a half block away after passing our black passenger.
He claimed he didn't see the black passenger and acknowledged he wasn't licensed to solicit any passengers on the street.
One driver allowed a black passenger in his cab, but before even hearing the destination, ordered the black passenger out saying he'd received an order from Uber Cab to serve another customer.
Second tests shows black passengers waiting longer
We tested without using a second passenger too.
In one location we alternated a white man with two black men see how long they'd have to wait without offering a decoy as an option.
We tracked the first eleven pickups of all three men.
The white passenger was picked up as quick as 15 seconds from when he started to hail, waiting 5 minutes 44 seconds at the longest of his eleven taxis..
The black passengers waited about three times longer.
Although both had at least one pickup under a minute black passenger A's longest wait at the same location was 14 minutes and 18 seconds, and black passenger B's longest wait was 14 minutes and 45 seconds.
Stranded black passenger picked up by outlaw Maryland cab
We cheered when one passenger finally got a cab after being passed dozens of times, only to realize, it was not a licensed DC cab.
We chased the cab two blocks before finding the passenger who said the Maryland licensed Diamond cabbie sped down a one-way street when he saw our camera and kept driving while the passenger was trying to exit the car.
Only District cabs are allowed to pick up passengers within the city limits.
The Ann Arundel county based cab company has not responded to our calls.
December WUSA9 investigation showed 15% cabs denying black passengers service
A December WUSA9 undercover investigation identified similar problems including one cabbie who admitted he didn't want to take a black passenger because he claimed another black man had just refused to pay him.
Click here to see our December investigation: http://www.wusa9.com/investigation/article/232588/453/DC-Cabs-Refuse-Black-Passenger-On-Hidden-Camera
Taxi discrimination isn't new to Washington and has been documented by WUSA9 since the 90's.
That combined with our recent findings, prompted WUSA9 to activate the iAlert mobile upload site, and to begin a campaign encouraging passengers to record transactions with suspect cabbies and submit the videos if violations occur.
The DC Office of Human Rights and the DC Taxi Commission have both agreed to review videos collected by WUSA9 for signs of discrimination or violations of policy.
DC's Taxi Commission chairman says refusing to take a passenger to the requested destination could result in a $500 fine.

The strength of urban art
NASHUA — Friends and fans packed the back room at the Arena Sports Bar Sunday night to celebrate the second anniversary of Positive Street Art, a local nonprofit group that promotes urban art and artists.
Launched two years ago by local artists Cecelia Ulibarri and Manny Ramirez, Positive Street Art has won praise for the group's downtown murals, classes at the Boys and Girls Club, and participation in community service projects and events. Positive Street Art also provides a network of support and opportunities for the city's young artists, designers and performers who are working to build careers and reputations.
"Art is life," said Ulibarri who was pleased with the big turnout and the city's show of support for the organization. "However you can incorporate art into everyday life is positive. That's what we do."Sunday's celebration spotlighted local clothing designers and independent boutiques with a fashion show featuring street styles and one-of-a-kind outfits and accessories. The Positive Street Art dance team also performed some moves that defied gravity and anatomy, and a dozen local artists ringed the room with makeshift booths where they displayed work for sale.
"I've been watching Positive Street Art since it was just an idea," said Oscar Villacis, an urban art advocate and designer whose rebuilt sports jackets were featured in the fashion show.
Villacis said Nashua's downtown art movement draws in young people from different places and cultures, and the mix helps fuel an ongoing creative churn.
"There are so many levels and ways to do art," said Villacis. Positive Street Art encourages Nashua's younger generation of artists and gives them a chance to work together, he said.For the fashion show, Villacis tapped the talent of Andrea Jette, a Nashua designer who specializes in jewelry and accessories, particularly shoes.
Jette, who was pulling a suitcase stuffed with one-of-a-kind pairs of shoes with neon colored spikes, studs and hand-cut and painted appliqués, created a pair of shoes to match one of Villacis' jackets.
Jette sells her designs mostly online and through word-of-mouth advertising. Events like the Positive Street Art fashion show offer another opportunity to market her designs.
Cam Ruhl, a former graffiti artist who has switched from spray paint and brick walls to acrylics and canvases, said he also appreciated the community and the opportunities that have opened up to local artists through Positive Street Art.
Ruhl, who is self-taught, said his paintings bridge the gap between abstract art and graffiti.
"A lot of us do disruptive art that breaks the cycle," said Ruhl.
Ryan Lavalley, who was working a raffle table to raise money for the organization, said one of Positive Street Art's basic goals is to channel creative energy in a constructive way.
"We take something like graffiti, that might have had a negative connotation, and flip that around to something positive," he said.
Lavalley said Positive Street Art is working hard to connect all of Nashua's artists and build an inclusive arts community."It's our mission," he said. "We want to encourage people who might otherwise not have had a voice to express themselves."

The U.S. Postal Service says it will delay plans to cut Saturday mail delivery because Congress isn't allowing the change.
The Postal Service said in February that it planned to cut back in August to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages, as a way to hold down losses.
But a statement Wednesday from agency's Board of Governors notes that Congress has passed a spending bill that continues the long-time prohibition against reducing delivery days.
As a result, the board says it believe that Congress "has left it with no choice but to delay implementation" of the five-day-a-week plan.

Thomasville,GA- A hospital in our area has received statewide recognition.
Georgia Trend has named Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville the best hospital in Southwest Georgia.
Archbold was also ranked sixth best out of all the hospitals in the state.
Georgia Trend used data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to determine the top hospitals.
"They're looking at outcomes. They're looking at our quality score. They're looking at patient satisfaction, readmission rates, mortality rates, infections rates; so all of those go into the mix when they're trying to evaluate excellence in the state as it relates to hospital care," said Perry Mustian, the President and CEO of Archbold.
This is the third year in a row that Georgia Trend has given this honor to Archbold Memorial Hospital.

It's yet another gloomy, rainy morning in Cincinnati, so let's let our minds take a voyage around the Internet and see what is going on in the world during the last 24 hours.
House Speaker John Boehner is probably cringing at a CBS News poll that found an overwhelming majority of Americans like the proposals mentioned in President Obama's State of the Union address. And by "overwhelming," we mean a whopping 91 percent of respondents. (You read that correctly.)
Plunderbund Ohio reports that Gov. John Kasich has picked up his first endorsement for a presidential bid from Citizens for Community values president and executive director and self-professed former porn addict Phil Burress, following Kasich's signing of some of the country's most archaic and restrictive anti-abortion provisions in the nation. This week's news story by CityBeat's most glamorous misanthrope, German Lopez, explains how the recently passed state budget caters to Republicans by lowering taxes for the rich, tries to block health care for the poor and effectively defunds Planned Parenthood and its valuable health services.

Atheist marriages may last longer than Christian ones.

The findings showed that Atheist marriages held the lowest divorce rates.

The residents also created a change.org petition to dispel negative perceptions about the neighborhood. "For too long, the largest neighborhood in our great City has been publicly identified by the negative statements of a few disgruntled, racially insensitive and regressive individuals," reads the petition.
Kiefer posted a message on his Facebook wall that read: "For my pick as worst councilperson in cincinnati (sic).... Evette (sic) getto (sic) Simpson!"

Anna Arutunyan, USA TODAY
MOSCOW - Time may be running out for U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden to get out of Russia.
The former National Security Agency contractor has been holed up in the transit area of Moscow airport since Sunday, but Snowden may only have been given a Russian transit visa valid for three days, RIA Novosti cited a source close to the case as saying on Wednesday.
"Transit passengers who have a ticket for a connecting flight and documents necessary to enter a third country can get a Russian transit visa," the source was quoted as saying. "If Snowden has these documents, then he has the right to apply for a transit visa right in the airport, in the consular point, and could well have done that."
RIA Novosti reported that Snowden had booked two tickets for flights from Moscow to Havana, Cuba, on June 24 and 25, but did not board either flights. If he has not been able to extend his transit visa - assuming he has one, and that it is valid for three days - it may be about to expire.
It is not immediately clear what his legal travel status would be were his transit visa to expire. The U.S. has already revoked his passport and wants Russia to honor an extradition request.
On Monday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that Snowden had been given a refugee document of passage by the Ecuadorean government. Ecuador has confirmed that Snowden applied for asylum in the Latin American country.
"Cancelling Snowden's passport and bullying intermediary countries may keep Snowden permanently in Russia. Not the brightest bunch at State," WikiLeaks said on its Twitter feed late Tuesday.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin confirmed that Snowden was in an airport transit zone at Sheremetyevo International Airport. "It is true that Mr Snowden arrived in Moscow, which was completely unexpected for us. He came as a transit passenger, so he didn't need a visa or other documents. As a transit passenger, he has the right to buy a plane ticket and go wherever he wants," Putin said in Finland on Tuesday evening.
But even if Snowden doesn't have a visa, he could theoretically leave the country by paying a small fine, RIA Novosti quoted a Russian border guard as saying. According to Russia's Administrative Code, if a transit passenger's paperwork does not conform to Russian regulations, he faces a fine of about $30.

A lively mix of topical stories, human interest and lifestyle features with Neil Delamere
The Irish Womens Rugby team beat Italy on Saint Patricks Day, in Milan, winning the Six Nations & Grand Slam! They received a lovely welcome at Dublin Airport yesterday & joining Neil on the line are Niamh Kavanagh & Fiona Coughlan, captain.
In the last number of weeks, we have played you a piece of tape featuring people we met on the streets with a conundrum. John Bela Reilly brings you another one this morning & we ask our listeners for their views.
When you are on TV, someone always comments on your appearance & there is one man who is seriously grateful for that this morning, on the line to Neil is TD Jim Daly to tell us why.
Neil's guest in studio is Paul O'Donoghue, a clinical psychologist & founder member of the Irish Skeptics Society. Paul looks at articles that read out as scientific facts, which just might be reasonable & true, but they are not...they are called pseudo facts & he is in studio to warn us about them!
If you mention the 'seanchí' or storyteller, you might think of a bearded old man with tales of old Ireland, but not in this case as in studio with Neil is a young woman from Carlow who makes a living from storytelling, Aideen McBride.

Everything is so amazing here! I cant wait to see everyone's creations and who knows maybe I will be inspired to make my own
Thanks for all of this wonderful mapping!
