Fewer trophy bucks being scored doesn't mean fewer trophy bucks
When fewer hunters ask to have their trophy bucks scored, that must mean there are fewer trophy bucks, right?
Not necessarily.
West Virginia's 2011 deer seasons were, by all accounts, a trophy hunter's bonanza. Sportsmen killed literally thousands of bucks with eight or more antler points and antler spreads that exceeded 14 inches.
Still, only 242 hunters decided to have their trophies officially scored for entry in the Division of Natural Resources' Big Buck Contest, 17 percent fewer than 2010's total of 292.
So why did fewer hunters seek to have their trophies scored?
Gene Thorn, who administers the program for the DNR, is still scratching his head over that one.
"I really don't know," he said. "Maybe guys who killed nice - but not huge - bucks knew that a lot of really big bucks were being taken and didn't bother to have theirs scored. This year at the [West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show], we didn't score nearly as many 100- to 120-inch bucks as we usually do."
In fact, Thorn attributed most of the discrepancy between the number of deer checked in 2010 and 2011 to fewer deer being checked at that one show.
"Usually we score the vast majority of each year's crop of deer at the show. This year we had a huge number of guys show up to have their deer scored on Friday, but on Saturday and Sunday hardly anyone showed up," he said.
"If those two days had kept pace with Friday, we would easily have matched or exceeded 2010's total."
Thorn's answer raises another question:
If fewer hunters had their bucks scored, why was there a dramatic increase in the number of trophies that qualified for the DNR's Big Buck Contest?
In 2010, only 65 bucks qualified. In 2011, that number jumped to 106, a stunning 63 percent increase.
"I think [the increase] speaks to the quality of the bucks that were available to hunters last year," Thorn said. "The number of gun-killed bucks that qualified [for the Big Buck Contest] was more than three times the number we had in 2010. And they came from everywhere in the state, not just the big-buck counties south of [W.Va.] 60."
Thorn said the number of big bucks even had DNR biologists buzzing.
"Our guys who worked at game-checking stations were commenting on the quality of the bucks coming through. There were definitely more big bucks being killed," he said.
That quality showed up in the number of bucks that qualified for the Pope & Young Club record book, which requires bigger antlers than does the Big Buck Contest.
"I probably processed four times as many Pope & Young entries as normal,'' he said. "It seems like every other deer scored qualified for Pope & Young. I spent all weekend at the Hunt Show helping guys fill out paperwork for their entries."
The two biggest gun-killed bucks came from Lincoln and Mercer counties. Jonah Adkins of Branchland headed up the typical category with an 11-pointer from Lincoln County that scored 1631/8. Brandon Dishner of Athens got the biggest non-typical, a 19-pointer that scored 165 4/8.
The two largest bow kills were taken by David Miller of Hurricane, who bagged a Mingo County 12-pointer that not only scored 1716/8, but also was the fourth-largest typical buck ever killed in West Virginia by a bowhunter.
Charles Daniel topped the non-typical category with a Cabell County 15-pointer that scored 169 1/8.

No professional sports franchise has been more of a regular season success and a postseason failure the past four years than the Washington Capitals.
So coach Bruce Boudreau was going to be on thin ice (pun intended) come April no matter how things went for the Caps from October-March. And when Washington nose-dived from a franchise-record 7-0 start to its current 3-7-1 tailspin that included a bunch of listless efforts, it became obvious that the players were no longer responding to their nice guy fourth-year coach despite his recent attempts at being a taskmaster.
There won't be any issues about whether Boudreau's replacement is a tough guy. Former Caps captain Dale Hunter is second in NHL history in penalty minutes. His 21-game suspension for a late hit on Pierre Turgeon during the 1993 playoffs remains one of the longest ever.
But Hunts, as he was known when I covered the Caps for three seasons during his playing days, was also beloved by his teammates and not just because he had their backs if trouble ensued on the ice.
Hunter had an impish sense of humor. He loved to stride down the hallway at the Caps' old Piney Orchard practice facility with his stomach taut, asking, "Washboard, washboard. Got any laundry to do?"
It's no accident that Hunter captained the Caps to their lone appearance in the Stanley Cup finals back in 1998 when he was 37 and no longer as skillful as the player who ranked 46th on the career scoring list when he retired after 19 seasons the following spring.
It was also no accident that the Caps, who had notoriously folded in the 1987 playoffs against the New York Islanders, rallied from a 3-1 deficit to stun Philadelphia the next spring on an overtime goal by Washington newcomer Hunter that was the signature moment of the franchise's first 16 seasons.
And it was no accident that Hunter, the only player in NHL history with 1,000 points and 3,000 penalty minutes, was a leader in 1990 as the Caps reached their first Conference finals.
That was the series during which Hunter, frustrated that the Caps were about to go down three games to none, gave Boston defenseman Glen Wesley a face wash. In other words, Hunter slammed Wesley down and pushed his face into the Capital Centre ice.
Boston coach Mike Milbury, a noted instigator in his own right during his playing days, was furious, proclaiming that he wouldn't have Hunter on his team if the latter was the last player on Earth. But Hunts just smiled, having accomplished his mission of getting under the skin of the Bruins.
The Caps lost that series, but Hunts is a winner. The 51-year-old son of an Ontario wheat farmer has never coached an NHL game, but he was highly successful behind the bench in juniors, reaching 300 and 400 victories faster than any coach in Ontario Hockey League history.
Combine Hunter's history as one of just three Caps to have his number (32) retired, his toughness, skill and leadership and general manager George McPhee has made a gutsy but smart choice to try to right Washington's ship and take this talented but under-performing team to the Stanley Cup it should win.
If anyone can get the most out of Alex Ovechkin and Co., it's Hunts.
WUSA 9's Redskins Insider, David Elfin, has covered sports since he was a junior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in 1975. He is the Washington representative on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee and is the author of five books on the Redskins including the new "Washington Redskins: The Complete Illustrated History.

Store History
- Founded by: Isabel Rutland
Discover & Deliver grew out of Isabel Rutland's travel experiences during her time as an investment principal with a private equity house. But the idea really started during her honeymoon at the Greenwich in New York, where she so loved the design and the furniture that she wanted it for her home in London. She wondered, "Where and how does one buy this stuff?" And she realised that there could be many people like her - people who wish for good design at home, don't necessarily want to employ an interior designer to do the choosing for them but don't quite know how to go about sourcing good design by themselves.
Last month, the Apartment Therapy team focused on travel, this month we're all about setting up new homes. At the intersection of these two themes? Discover & Deliver, a website that sources and then sells design finds from the world's most stylish hotels.
It's worth a visit just for the eye candy, from Yoco Nagamiya's delightful illustrations of chic destinations to gorgeous hotel rooms and furniture galore. If you've been daydreaming about a piece from a hotel that isn't on their list, Discover & Deliver has consultants who can help you track it down. In addition to their hotel-inspired selection, they also carry a carefully curated selection of unique pieces from around the globe, from Gustavian side tables to unique dishes. It's a worthy web destination for design aficionados, even those who are just browsing.

text: LEXINGTON, Va., Dec. 20, 2012 – The Virginia Military Institute Corps of Cadets has once more been selected to march in a presidential inaugural parade. Cadets will march in the parade launching the second term of President Barack Obama on Jan. 21.Nearly 3,000 applications were received by the Joint Task Force – National Capital Region by the Nov. 30 deadline, and, as of Dec. 19, VMI was one of 43 groups to have accepted invitations to participate. Only one other group from Virginia, Canine Companions for Independence of Fauquier County, was invited.The 2013 Inaugural Parade will be the 14th in which VMI cadets have marched. The first, that of President William Howard Taft in 1909, was the first since 1860 to include a southern military unit. The most recent was the parade for Obama's first inauguration, in 2009, exactly 100 years after Taft's.For the cadets, who have departed post for Christmas furlough and will return Jan. 13, that first week back will be a hectic one, with briefings, inspections, and practice parades each day."Preparing for the presidential inauguration requires a change from the typical VMI drill and ceremony because we don't normally march in a 15-man front," said Col. Keith Gibson '77, executive director of the VMI museum system, who marched in the 1977 parade honoring the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter.Maj. Chris Perry '05, assistant commandant for cadet life, recalls the week he spent preparing with the Corps for the Inaugural Parade in 2005, for President George W. Bush. "It was very hectic. The preparation was … the same thing over and over on the Parade Ground and around the Parade Ground. We were out there for at least two hours a day.""The preparation time of one week will be a challenge, but our cadets know how to march, and it will be a matter of tightening up the lines and tweaking the small stuff so that we look absolutely perfect," said Lt. Col. Mitch Fridley '89, assistant commandant of cadets. "The difficult parts to work are the administrative and logistical pieces – meals, bus manifests, travel routes, security, liaison with Secret Service, accountability, etc. I'm very confident that our cadets will step up to the challenge and look great."The schedule of the event itself is demanding, requiring cancellation of classes that Monday and an early morning departure, followed by hours of waiting and a security check, a part of the process Perry remembers well. "We had to go through security, which was probably the longest part of the day because all of our rifles had to be checked," he said. "Every rifle had to go through … to make sure there weren't any firing pins."If this year's parade is similar to that of 2009, the cadets will pass the reviewing stand after dark, only to head to buses, back to VMI and classes on Tuesday. "VMI alumni all over waited patiently to see the VMI cadets march by [in 2009]," said Gibson. "There was a concern by folks watching it on television that they might cut away." The Corps was the next-to-last unit to march, and the largest, passing the reviewing stand just before 8 p.m. The honor of marching in the parade is worth all the challenges, however, as Gibson recalls."As an alumnus, you look back upon your brief four years of cadetship, and you acknowledge what a rare opportunity it was to be a cadet at VMI, live among the rarified environment of the honor system and the VMI barracks. … And among the ranks of VMI alumni is even a smaller group of graduates who have that privilege …of being asked to participate in the inaugural parade."–Sherri Tombarge

Pregnancy: Nosebleeds and Bleeding GumsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Nosebleeds during pregnancy may be caused by increased blood flow to the tissue lining the inside of the nasal passages (mucous membranes).
To prevent nosebleeds
- Avoid using nonprescription nasal decongestants, such as allergy pills or sprays. If you have serious allergy problems, talk to your doctor.
- Use a humidifier in your house or office and in your bedroom at night.
- If you have to blow your nose, gently blow one nostril at a time.
- Put a thin layer of a saline- or water-based nasal gel, such as NasoGel, inside your nose.
To stop nosebleeds
- Sit up straight, and tip your head slightly forward. Do not tilt your head backward—this will cause the blood to drip down the back of your throat.
- Pinch the nostrils tightly shut between your thumb and forefinger for 10 full minutes without stopping.
- If your nose is still bleeding after 10 minutes, hold the nostrils shut for another 10 minutes. Most nosebleeds will stop after 10 to 30 minutes of pressure.
- Avoid blowing your nose for at least 12 hours after a nosebleed.
Increased blood flow to the mucous membranes of the mouth and gums during pregnancy may also cause bleeding, especially when you brush your teeth. Your gums may appear more swollen than usual. Try using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Regular visits to your dentist during pregnancy are important to prevent problems. Inform your dentist of your pregnancy. Some dental work (usually any dental procedures requiring anesthesia or X-rays) may be postponed until after you deliver.

(USA Today) -- Former Penn State president Graham Spanier and two other former administrators were charged Thursday with perjury, obstruction of justice, and endangering children in connection with their handling of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
"This is about three powerful and influential men, three men who used their positions at Penn State to cover-up and conceal the activities of (Sandusky),'' said Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly in announcing the charges.
Spanier is charged with five criminal counts, while former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Vice President Gary Schultz, who are already charged with perjury and failure to report child abuse, are facing new allegations of conspiracy, obstruction and endangering children.
Prosecutors said all three knew of complaints involving Sandusky showering with boys in 1998 and 2001.
Sandusky, 68, was convicted this summer of 45 criminal counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys. He was sentenced from 30 to 60 years in prison, but has maintained his innocence and is pursuing appeals.
On Wednesday, he was transferred to a prison in southwestern Pennsylvania that includes most of the state's death row inmates, the Associated Press reported.
The attorney general accused the three university of administrators of showing "callous lack of concern" for one of Sandusky's early victims by allegedly not pursuing the case or attempting to identify the young boy.
"They essentially turned a blind eye to the serial predatory acts committed by Jerry Sandusky," Kelly said.
"This was not a mistake by these men, this was not an oversight, it was not misjudgment on their part," she said. "This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials to actively conceal the truth."
Curley and Schultz have repeatedly asserted they are innocent, and at a news conference this summer Spanier's attorneys insisted he was never told there was anything of a sexual nature involving Sandusky and children.
Spanier, 64, was fired in November after serving 16 years as the university's president.
The charges against Spanier involve statements he made to a grand jury in 2011 in which he denied being aware of a university police investigation of Sandusky over incidents involving Sandusky.
The charges stem in part from evidence uncovered in a report last summer by former FBI director Louis Freeh, who was tasked by the university to investigate the Sandusky case. Spanier and his attorney have denounced the Freeh report.
The report concluded Spanier, Curley, Schultz and then-coach Joe Paterno concealed Sandusky's activities from the university trustees and "empowered" the abuse by giving him access to school facilities and the prestige of his university affiliation.
It said the investigation turned up emails from 1998 in which the administrators discussed the matter, including a May 5 email from Curley to Schultz and Spanier, with "Joe Paterno" in the subject line. It read: "I have touched bases with the coach. Keep us posted. Thanks."
Spanier told the Freeh team that he believed in 2001 that the encounter amounted to "horseplay," although an email sent by him to Curley at that time reflected a much more somber tone.
In that email, Spanier was reacting to a proposal by Curley in which they would not report Sandusky to authorities but instead tell him he needed help and that he could no longer bring children into Penn State facilities.
"The only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it," Spanier wrote in 2001. "The approach you outline is humane and a reasonable way to proceed."
Paterno was also fired in the wake of the scandal after 45 years as head coach. He died in January.

2004 Del Mar Califonia Fairgrounds Car Show - Show by the SeaWritten by Jeff Smith on August 1, 2004 Goodguys' Eclectic Collection Of Del Mar Cool
Car shows are a great way to gauge what's going on in the world of high performance. This will change when you cruise the Midwest, or the East Coast, or when you venture west beyond the Rocky Mountains. We like to cruise down the freeway to Del Mar, California, in the cool spring air of the Del Mar fairgrounds just north of San Diego to take in the Goodguys' Rod & Custom Nationals and to gauge what's happening for 2004 in the world of what's cool.
Maybe it's just us, but this year's show screamed out different choices for the car crafter in all of us. Sure, there was the usual collection of street rods and a few car show queens that rarely see the light of day. But the majority of cars were obvious drivers-machines that traveled often great distances to attend the show yet didn't look like lifetime members of the "I love angelhair" club.
The other big deal was the amazing assemblage of Mopar-powered machines this year that we haven't noticed before. We're talkin' Hemi. And not just one or two but a whole passel of Hemi-powered earth-movers. Maybe it's all those new DaimlerChrysler ads touting "That thing got a Hemi in it?" or perhaps the Mopar guys all got together and secretly invaded the show but didn't make a big deal out of it just to see if anybody noticed. Whatever the reason, the Mopar faithful had Del Mar covered. We decided to let you in on it with our run-through of horsepower heaven-Goodguys style.

Economic Outlook - October 2008
North Carolinas society has become multicultural, its economy has become more diverse, and the state has prospered in recent decades. But leaders must adjust their policies for a more metropolitan economy focused on cities and suburbs and address a widening disparity between rich and poor, says Ferrel Guillory, director of The Program on Public Life at UNC Chapel Hill.
Aside from the obvious Research Triangle Park, higher education, technology, globalization what have been the key agents of change in the state economy since 1950?
The enactment of liquor-by-the-drink laws gave us the ability to have a fine restaurant industry right at the time knowledge workers wanted more amenities. Favorable interstate banking rules were passed right at the time major figures of Charlotte banking were ready to take their banks national. The elimination of Jim Crow laws opened the South to greater economic activity and investment by big corporations, which in a previous era didnt want to do business or locate in the South for fear of getting mixed up in the racial politics. All of these things interact. Its hard to imagine Charlotte being the second-largest banking center in the United States under a system of rigid racial segregation.
In a recent paper, you note that the states economy has become more metropolitan.
We have to think about how we devise strategies and set policies to assure that our metropolitan regions stay healthy and are governed well. We need to continue improving our public school systems. Its important to stem the trend toward resegregation. We clearly need more math and science teachers. We need to pay community-college teachers better. We need to pay attention to all of the pieces that go into bringing more and more people to an educational level beyond the 12th grade, because the jobs of the future in our metropolitan areas are going to require that.
What about rural parts of the state?
We have spent, as a state, a lot of energy and resources bolstering our rural areas, and I believe in that. But weve reached a point that we have to have metropolitan policy as much as we think in terms of rural policies, because even rural areas are increasingly dependent on the job-producing capacities of our metropolitan areas.
In more than a third of the counties, more than 40% of workers cross county lines to reach their jobs.
It means we are producing jobs, but it also means stress and strain. People have long commutes. It means less time with their families and more struggle to assure that their kids get to recreational and arts programs. It uses up peoples time and energy, not to mention their money to pay for gasoline.
What about the aging of the population?
In some counties, the median age will be 40 to 50 fairly soon, particularly on the coast and in the mountains. A lot of teachers, a lot of middle managers, a lot of foremen will be retiring and will need to be replaced by people who are better educated than was typical a generation ago. And a look at demographic studies suggests they will be replaced largely by blacks and Latinos.
You mentioned a trend toward resegregation in the schools.
Research suggests that its not just racial but class. High-poverty schools, which tend to be majority black, depress the achievement of all the students in the school. They tend to have assigned to them the least-experienced teachers. It isnt absolutely important that a white kid sit next to a black kid, and vice versa, but it is important that there be a healthy share of middle-class young people in a school, so that the school is not dominated by the children of families in poverty.
How has the influx of Latinos affected the economy?
Theyve come in and done work in construction, gardening and meat processing. Theyve filled needs in the economy. But weve noticed a widening in income inequality, particularly in our metro areas. In some ways, its a function of the way weve developed. As more knowledge workers have moved into our metro areas, theyve created an economic demand for goods and services that low-wage, low-skilled people provide not only Latinos but also blacks and whites from rural areas looking for jobs in stores, restaurants and other service industries.
Is that a problem?
If the income gap remains wide, then you risk social instability over the long term. Its critical that folks who are now in low-wage, low-skill jobs have education and training opportunities so that they arent stuck in that job for a lifetime.
North Carolinas population is expected to grow about 25% in 22 years. What will its economy look like?
Much more metropolitan-based a more high-tech, professional, knowledge-based economy. And weve got to prepare for that. We are going to find ourselves challenged in terms of transportation. How do you move people from one place to another so they can enjoy the amenities and get to the jobs?

Sandy group talking rebuilding
(Page 2 of 3)
This summer, Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, a Bellmorite and Nassau County's health commissioner, and Joe Baker, a lifelong Merokean and the president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association, were named the committee's co-chairs. Eisenstein and Baker both said that Laura Munafo, the Nassau County regional lead for New York Rising, contacted them to let them know that they had the posts. Before she was appointed to lead roles in overseeing the government's response to Hurricane Sandy, first with the county's Office of Emergency Management and then with New York Rising, Munafo was Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano's executive assistant.
Munafo did not respond to multiple requests for an interview for this article.
In July, Eisenstein and Baker attended a conference for the chairs of each community committee in Albany, where they heard speeches, received informational pamphlets and attended a luncheon with Cuomo.
They made recommendations to Munafo for the 10 other seats on the Bellmore-Merrick committee. As of its first meeting, on Sept. 17 at AcQua Restaurant in south Merrick, the committee comprised Joanne Bo, who is active with Operation SPLASH; Eileen Casazza, vice president of the Bellmore Preservation Group; John Fabian, a former Merrick Fire Department chief; Ali Frankel, president of the South Bellmore Civic Association; Julie Marchesella, president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce; Hugh Mason; Natalie Molloy; Randy Shotland, president of the Merrick Chamber of Commerce; Paul Waterman, another former Merrick Fire Department chief; Neil Yeoman, a retired engineer, and Eisenstein and Baker. Eisenstein said on Sept. 20 that he was unsure whether the membership might change.
Also attending the meeting were Munafo; five consultants from Arup, a multinational consulting firm based in London; and about 20 members of the public.
One of the consultants, Trent Lethco, gave a PowerPoint presentation and solicited input from the other attendees. Ideas ranged from the means of providing electricity if the grid were to go down, to elevating roads, to mitigating storm surge from south Bellmore and Merrick's canals and sewers.

Our community suffered the most the days after the storm because of no heat and no electricity. I hope this committee uses the funds to help us endure less suffering after the next storm. There is absolutely no way to prevent us from getting hit with the next storm but we can prepare. Helping us get back to our homes the day after the storm. Helping to get to the people that stayed and weathered the storm. Allowing electric to be turned back on within a day or two. What we endured after the storm was a crying shame. Days for the gas meters to be checked. No electric for days because the transformers in the front of the homes, on the telephone polls, need a simple switch turned on with a long yellow rubber pole. Days of unnecessary suffering. The best was when homeowners were ripped off and had to pay hundreds of dollars because they were told they had to have a certificate, from the fire department, in order to get electric to their home. It was a crazy disturbing night mare and it escalated out of control when the Town building department employees walked the street trying to enter homes to get people to get permits for the repair work that needed to be done. Crying shame. Hope we use the funds to be prepared and organized in the event of the next storm. A step by step outline telling each company/department what needs to be done in order for the public not to suffer more than 2 days following the next storm. Wishing this newly created committee the very best and thank you for your service. Nancy Coletto

Historical Data
Part B
LEAD FEDERAL AGENCY AND/OR SUBCOMMITTEE/WORKING GROUP REPORT (Agencies With Lead Responsibilities From Circular A-16) (Please provide a separate report for each activity for which you have the lead)
1. Data Theme Name:
Historical Data Working Group
2. What are the programs this data supports?
Long term access to geospatial data and metadata by creating agencies, other agencies and other secondary users.
Very Briefly Describe All Applicable Items:
3. Uses of Data: What are the end uses of this data? How does it benefit customers, support lead and other agency missions, etc.?
Historical uses of data are varied. They can support agency needs, satisfy intellectual curiosity, or provide information to document historical changes.
4. Charter/Plan: Do you have a current charter or plan for collection? Should it be updated?
NARA is not a data creator. Plans for transfer of historical data to NARA are "negotiated" with creating agencies through mutual development of records control schedules. These are modified as required.
The working group's charter focuses on data management and historical preservation.
5. Metadata: What is the status of metadata? Is it discoverable and served through the NSDI Clearinghouse? What percentage of this theme's data has metadata and is in a Clearinghouse node?
All metadata transferred to NARA will remain discoverable through the Clearinghouse and/or NARA's customer service units. Under NARA's transfer standards all geospatial data created after the effective date of Executive Order 12906 must have metadata. That metadata will be transferred with the geospatial data and will be searchable either through the FGDC Clearinghouse or through NARA archival reference program.
6. Standards: What is the status of this theme's data, process, transfer, and classification standards?
This working group has not developed any standards. The working group does not anticipate developing any standards.
7. Progress: List FY 2000/2001 activities/progress to date (quantify where possible)
The working group did not hold any meetings in this time. The Chair continues to perform liaison activities and to maintain the WG homepage as necessary. During this time the chair and the working group provided liaison information and assistance regarding geospatial historical data management, archives, and data management costs to the EROS Data Center, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems, and the FGDC Secretariat.
8. Leadership: Describe your active leadership role with others (private, local, State, Federal) who collect and use this data.
The working group chair has continued a consultative role with other FGDC subcommittees and working groups and other agencies responding to questions and requests for assistance as they arise.
9. Collaborative Partnerships: How many major partnerships with others do you have on this theme? (list if desired)
NARA's Steering Committee representative and Coordination Group member include geospatial data management and preservation concerns in their liaison activities within NARA and with external agencies and groups. The most significant include the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI), and the International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems (InterPARES).
10. Scope: Are you engaged in broad participation and international/global coordination?
Yes. Both CCSDS and InterPARES are international
11. Policy: Do you have a policy in place for full and open access or data sharing?
Yes. All data transferred to NARA is available for public use subject to valid restrictions that conform with the Freedom of Information Act or other valid negotiated specific restriction.
12. Funding: Are data activities adequately funded? If not, what are your greatest needs? (e.g. development of standards, metadata, collection, maintenance, sharing, serving, archiving, etc.)
Geospatial data activities are not funded separately. They are part of overall agency data preservation activities.
13. Are there areas or issues regarding lead responsibilities for spatial data themes that require attention, or lessons-learned that you would like to share with others? Please describe.

* Embellished Popsicle Sticks and Velcro Sculptures
"C" and I recently spent an afternoon making some fun new sculptures
with fat popsicle sticks/craft sticks and velcro stickers.
We saw popsicle sticks with velcro on Pinterest via the Time for Play blog
a while back and thought they looked like fun. I was Pinspired!
Of course we had to put our own artsy twist on it so we decided
to decorate our sticks with markers.
I don't know who had more fun coloring our sticks, "C" or myself!
There is something very satisfying about coloring and drawing on wood.
We colored them and drew designs with simple water soluble markers.
Then you just stick on the velcro circles (they're velcro stickers - no glue necessary!)
and started building sculptures.
I think this would be a super easy summertime travel craft to bring along
on the air plane or on a road trip.
Easy supplies, hardly any mess, and it's a very small and portable craftivity!
You could even stash supplies in your purse and bring these along to a restaurant
to keep the kiddos entertained at your table.
All you need:
Pack of popsicle sticks.
Pack of markers
Package of velcro stickers.
We even got fancy and I showed "C" how to add white accents and dots
with my little white out pen - so fun!
I think we'll be making more of these soon perhaps invite another preschooler friend
over for a crafty play date or see if big sister "E" wants to make some too.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) - A north Florida woman who is going through a messy divorce has been arrested after police say she spray painted broken hearts and other graffiti outside a new Jacksonville courthouse.
An officer allegedly spotted 35-year-old Audrey Dostie spray painting the walkway that leads to the courthouse.
Jacksonville Sheriff's officers say she spray painted broken hearts on the columns of the new $350 million courthouse along with an angry statement to a judge on the sidewalk.
"F Judge James Ruth" read one comment. Other remarks included, "Free Us!" and "$300 million courthouse."
Dostie was arrested Thursday and charged with criminal mischief.
WJXT in Jacksonville reports Dostie is in the middle of a divorce and custody case. Her husband also allegedly filed a restraining order against her.
Police say she spray painted similar graffiti and messages to her husband and son outside her husband's business.

A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics
By: Natalie Wolchover
September 17, 2013
Quanta Magazine
Artists rendering of the amplituhedron, a newly discovered mathematical object resembling a multifaceted jewel in higher dimensions. Encoded in its volume are the most basic features of reality that can be calculated the probabilities of outcomes of particle interactions.
Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.
This is completely new and very much simpler than anything that has been done before, said Andrew Hodges, a mathematical physicist at Oxford University who has been following the work.
The revelation that particle interactions, the most basic events in nature, may be consequences of geometry significantly advances a decades-long effort to reformulate quantum field theory, the body of laws describing elementary particles and their interactions. Interactions that were previously calculated with mathematical formulas thousands of terms long can now be described by computing the volume of the corresponding jewel-like amplituhedron, which yields an equivalent one-term expression.
The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling, said Jacob Bourjaily, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University and one of the researchers who developed the new idea. You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.

Hey all,
I searched the forums but nothing similar to this I could find.
I am testing Zimbra with the migration for our small company and migrated my own user account across as a test.
Everything went quite well but noticed my first glitch.
I have a calendar entry which is a recurring end of Month for my backups and should pop up on the last day of the month. After the migration, it's appearing as "The last Monday of every 1 month(s). No end date. Effective 07-Jan-2008."
Anyone had this issue? I used the zimbra version I used is zcs-5.0.1_GA_1902.RHEL5.20080109200629.tgz

My sister and I chose our seeds from the heirloom seed house and plant nursery, The Cottage Gardener in Newtonville, Ontario. It was important to us to choose heirloom and organic varieties.
It would have been easy to go crazy and pick one of everything, but we had to realize that we can't start everything from seed. I simply don't have the space, and as Anne Marie said, not everything does as well from seed. So, I'll be hitting the nurseries, including my usual spots–the heirloom vendors at the Evergreen Brickworks Farmer's Market and Richters–for the seedlings of the veggies I'm not starting early.
But back to my seeds. My choices include cosmos, one of my favourite flowers, and experiments like white-stemmed pak choy and Detroit dark red beet. My sister chose a lot of herbs, which I'm game to try out, as well. Here is a list of what we're planting:
• Dill
• Florence Fennel
• English Thyme
• Black Calypso Beans
• Common Chives
• Roman Chamomile
• Cilantro
• Champion Collards
• Black Hungarian Hot Peppers
• Arugula
• Cosmos
• Detroit Dark Red Beet
• White-Stemmed Pak Choy
• Mesclun mix (a gift from Canadian Gardening writer Lorraine Flanigan)

Governor Robert Bentley is crisscrossing the state to ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment that could determine how successful he is in keeping his campaign promise to create jobs.
Bentley is urging voters to approve Amendment 2 on Nov. 6. He says it will give the state a new avenue for providing incentives for industries to locate in Alabama.
Alabama's Constitution already allows the state to sell up to $750 million in bonds for industrial incentives. The state is near that limit. Amendment 2 will allow the state to issue new bonds as it pays off the older bonds, as long as the total debt doesn't exceed $750 million. It will also allow the refinancing of old bonds to lower the interest rate.

Looking at a big 6x6 bull and 8 cows at 10,000+ ft morning 3.
Can you say steep????
My buck. Couldn't pass up the opportunity after looking at nothing but small bucks and a few does. Very happy with him!
Got back today from our hunt in Nevada. Conditions were very tough for hunting hard-horned bucks, being that it was 80 degrees during the day at 9-10,000 feet and not much cooler during the night. Half the quakies leaves hadn't even turned yellow yet. The deer were very holed up, in fact we saw very few deer all together. We knew there was weather coming, but in the form of a nasty storm that was going to make hunting conditions even tougher but on the other end of the spectrum. We packed in the day before the season and didn't spot a single deer that whole afternoon/ evening. I won't write a long winded story as the pics will be worth thousands of words, or so they say. Basically we ended up killing the 2 best bucks we saw the entire trip, and we hunted and glassed very hard. I think we were fortunate as we never heard of or saw another hunter with a buck down. All in all we saw just 13 bucks. Our two plus two other 22" bucks that we passed on were the only 4x4 or better bucks we saw. The rest were dinks.
Now for the pics. I left out a lot of scenery photos to keep recognition of the area to a minimum. Some of you might recognize a peak or two... but out of respect for us and others who might hunt that area, lets keep it under wraps!
Camp the night before the season- 9,660 ft.
Camp night 2, a few miles away from night 1 after being less than impressed with our original spot.
Looking at a big 6x6 bull and 8 cows at 10,000+ ft morning 3.
Can you say steep????
My buck. Couldn't pass up the opportunity after looking at nothing but small bucks and a few does. Very happy with him!
Now looking for my dads buck.
Got him quartered and hung. Had to pack mine out first and then come back the next day to get his out. These were LONG, GRUELING, HEAVY packs... but totally worth it.
We were too wore out to take many pics of the second full day up and down the mountain for my dads meat to take many pics, but we did get some funny video with the GoPro HD camera that I'll try to post up. Here we are back at the truck.
(tags were with the meat)
Thanks for sharing. I love your dads buck. Character. Along with yours. Great bucks and a great hunt
It sounds like.
Cool pictures. Looks like 2 great bucks. Congrats!
Good job BSA.....pops looks like he got a good one! Congratualtions to both of you.

Hanlin Confirms Threats to Family
Jefferson prosecutor left town during football players' rape trial
March 19, 2013
Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin and her family left town during the juvenile rape trial in Steubenville because of threats made against both her and her family....
No further involvement! That's what she is being paid to do.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"I will not and should not comment on the nature of the threats because they're being investigated," Hanlin noted.
There are some who post on this forum who should do a double take on the above excerpt. Threats of injury or worse made over the Internet are not somehow shielded from legal ramifications. Every post, tweet, comment, etc. has potential ramifications, especially if it appears to be a terroristic threat aimed at a particular person or group. Those who believe they are somehow "legally invisible" because they use the Internet to spew their venom need a reality check. Messages can be traced to their source. The Internet is not a one-way street. It runs in both directions and can lead back to a poster.

It is possible that the main title of the report Turcot Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Turcot syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the association of benign growths (adenomatous polyps) in the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal tract with tumors of the central nervous system. Symptoms associated with polyp formation may include diarrhea, bleeding from the end portion of the large intestine (rectum), fatigue, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Affected individuals may also experience neurological symptoms, depending upon the type, size and location of the associated brain tumor. Some researchers believe that Turcot syndrome is a variant of familial adenomatous polyposis. Others believe that it is a separate disorder. The exact cause of Turcot syndrome is not known.

Stress Management Hypnosis Downloads
My brain fog was immediately lifted after the first session. I'm more productive now than I have been in weeks... maybe even months!
Mark, Utah, USA
Read the full testimonial »
Stress management is not just a matter of relaxation, although knowing how to relax can certainly help. Nor is it a matter of aiming to have no stress at all. Stress is essential. If you didn't have any, ever, you would never grow, never develop, never learn anything new, never change and probably die of boredom.
But too much strain and tension in your life can be pretty damaging too, leading to exhaustion, anxiety, depression and physical illness. The stress management hypnosis downloads below will provide you with a complete 'toolkit' for dealing with the pressures of life - both the avoidable and the unavoidable.
Life is so much more enjoyable when stress stops being a burden and becomes the incentive to growth and development that it should be.

Complete Stress Management Pack
Develop attitudes of mind that will protect you from stress in all ...

Nov. Club Meeting: Julie Moss & Kathleen McCartney Thursday 17th 5p-8p
It is considered the most important moment in Triathlon and Ironman history. In the winter of 1982 the battle between Kathleen McCartney (left) and Julie Moss (right) became must see TV as Moss's huge lead disappeared in a matter of minutes. The finish that evening became one of the signature moments of ABC's Wide World of Sports when, after being passed within yards of the finish, Moss crawled towards the finish and collapsed on the line. That epic Agony of Defeat/Thrill of Victory moment touched people watching at home who decided they needed to find out for themselves why crossing that Ironman finish line was so damn important.
On November 17th Bob Babbitt from Competitor Magazine will interview about the race, the finish that linked them forever and their lives since that classic moment nearly 30 years ago.

Maryland Leaves ACC to Join Big Ten
COLLEGE PARK, Md.–The University of Maryland Board of Regents voted Nov. 19 to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), an entity they helped create in 1953, and join the Big Ten athletic conference.
"There was certainly discussion about the tradition of the ACC. And the question is what's the future? And we've got to look to the future," said Patricia Florestano, a member of Maryland's Board of Regents, as reported by USA Today.
ACC Commissioner John Swofford issued a statement to the media extending his best wishes to Maryland.
"Our best wishes are extended to all of the people associated with the University of Maryland. Since our inception, they have been an outstanding member of our conference and we are sorry to see them exit," Swofford said. "For the past 60 years the Atlantic Coast Conference has exhibited leadership in academics and athletics. This is our foundation and we look forward to building on it as we move forward."
UMD President Wallace Loh told The Diamondback, the school newspaper, that the move to the Big Ten will secure its future financially.
"I did it to guarantee the long-term future of Maryland athletics," said Loh in The Diamondback. "No future president will have to worry about cutting teams or that Maryland athletics will be at risk."
According to USA Today, the Big Ten has the most lucrative television coverage deal of any conference in the entire NCAA, netting $24 million annually. Being privileged to this will allow Maryland to generate millions more, something the athletics department graciously welcomes after suffering from several budget issues in recent years.
But before Maryland departs the ACC it will have to cough up a major exit fee, reportedly about $50 million.
"We're still debating what that figure is and how we're going to deal with it," Florestano told USA Today.
