I am new to duck hunting but my family has about a 5 acre pond on their property and about 4 acres of low marshy land directly below the pond. My question is what should I do to bring in more ducks? I could easily plant the lower 4 acres and flood it as much as needed or I could plant around the edges of one side of the pond. Would it be better to plant the lower 4 or stick to the pond? I gets a flock of about 20-30 geese that come to it pretty regularly but not many ducks. It gets a few ducks here and there but only about 3 or 4 and not very often. I want to bring in more ducks but dont know what route to take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

These are the federal rules. I like the idea of planting something and flooding the marshy area.

Waterfowl Hunting and Baiting
For a printable version of this information, please click here (PDF)
Waterfowl and other migratory birds are a national resource protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Hunting waterfowl is a popular sport in many parts of the country. Federal and State regulations help ensure that these birds continue to thrive while providing hunting opportunities.
Federal baiting regulations define key terms for hunters and land managers, and clarify conditions under which you may legally hunt waterfowl. As a waterfowl hunter or land manager, it is your responsibility to know and obey all Federal and State laws that govern the sport. State regulations can be more restrictive than Federal regulations.
Waterfowl baiting regulations apply to ducks, geese, swans, coots, and cranes.
Federal regulations are more restrictive for waterfowl hunting than for hunting doves and other migratory game birds. You should carefully review the Federal regulations. You may also want to check our information on

What Is Baiting?
You cannot hunt waterfowl by the aid of baiting or on or over any baited area where you know or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited.
Baiting is the direct or indirect placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering of salt, grain, or other feed that could lure or attract waterfowl to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them.
A baited area is any area on which salt, grain, or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, or scattered, if that salt, grain, or feed could serve as a lure or attraction for waterfowl.
The 10-Day Rule
A baited area remains off limits to hunting for 10 days after all salt, grain, or other feed has been completely removed. This rule recognizes that waterfowl will still be attracted to the same area even after the bait is gone.
Waterfowl Hunting on Agricultural Lands
Agricultural lands offer prime waterfowl hunting opportunities. You can hunt waterfowl in fields of unharvested standing crops. You can also hunt over standing crops that have been flooded. You can flood fields after crops are harvested and use these areas for waterfowl hunting.
The presence of seed or grain in an agricultural area rules out waterfowl hunting unless the seed or grain is scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, normal agricultural harvesting, normal agricultural post-harvest manipulation, or normal soil stabilization practice.
These activities must be conducted in accordance with recommendations of the State Extension Specialists of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Cooperative Extension Service).
A normal agricultural planting is undertaken for the purpose of producing a crop. The Fish and Wildlife Service does not make a distinction between agricultural fields planted with the intent to harvest a crop and those planted without such intent so long as the planting is in accordance with recommendations from the Cooperative Extension Service.
Normal agricultural plantings do not involve the placement of seeds in piles or other heavy concentrations. Relevant factors include recommended planting dates, proper seed distribution, seed bed preparation, application rate, and seed viability.
A normal soil stabilization practice is a planting for agricultural soil erosion control or post mining land reclamation conducted in accordance with recommendations of the Cooperative Extension Service.
Lands planted by means of top sowing or aerial seeding can only be hunted if seeds are present solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting or normal soil stabilization practice (see section on wildlife food plots).
Harvesting & Post-Harvest Manipulation
A normal agricultural harvest is undertaken for the purpose of gathering a crop. In general, the presence of long rows, piles, or other heavy concentrations of grain should raise questions about the legality of the area for waterfowl hunting.
A normal post-harvest manipulation first requires a normal agricultural harvest and removal of grain before any manipulation of remaining agricultural vegetation, such as corn stubble or rice stubble.
To be considered normal, an agricultural planting, agricultural harvesting, and agricultural post-harvest manipulation must be conducted in accordance with recommendations of the Cooperative Extension Service (i.e., planting dates, application rates, etc.). However, the Fish and Wildlife Service will continue to make final determinations about whether these recommendations were followed.
Hunters should be aware that normal harvesting practices can be unique to specific parts of the country. For example, swathing wheat crops is a part of the normal harvesting process recommended by the Cooperative Extension Service in some areas of the upper Midwest. During this process, wheat is cut, placed into rows, and left in the field for several days until it dries. Hunting waterfowl over a swathed wheat field during the recommended drying period is legal. It is illegal to hunt waterfowl over swathed wheat that becomes unmarketable or that is left in the field past the recommended drying period because these situations are not normal harvests.
Manipulation of Agricultural Crops
You cannot legally hunt waterfowl over manipulated agricultural crops except after the field has been subject to a normal harvest and removal of grain (i.e., post-harvest manipulation).
Manipulation includes, but is not limited to, such activities as mowing, shredding, discing, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning, or herbicide treatments. Grain or seed which is present as a result of a manipulation that took place prior to a normal harvest is bait. For example, no hunting could legally occur on or over a field where a corn crop has been knocked down by a motorized vehicle. Kernels of corn would be exposed and/or scattered.
If, for whatever reason, an agricultural crop or a portion of an agricultural crop has not been harvested (i.e., equipment failure, weather, insect infestation, disease, etc.) and the crop or remaining portion of the crop has been manipulated, then the area is a baited area and cannot be legally hunted for waterfowl. For example, no waterfowl hunting could legally occur on or over a field of sweet corn that has been partially harvested and the remainder mowed.
Wildlife Food Plots
You cannot legally hunt waterfowl over
planted wildlife food plots where grain or seed has been distributed, scattered, or exposed because these plots are not normal agricultural plantings or normal soil stabilization practices. Wildlife food plots may be considered a normal agricultural practice, but they do not meet the definition of a normal agricultural planting, harvest, post-harvest manipulation, or a normal soil stabilization practice.
Other Agricultural Concerns
You cannot hunt waterfowl on or over areas where farmers feed grain to livestock, store grain, or engage in other normal agricultural practices that do not meet the definition of a normal agricultural planting, harvest, or post-harvest manipulation.
Hunting Over Natural Vegetation
Natural vegetation is any non-agricultural, native, or naturalized plant species that grows at a site in response to planting or from existing seeds or other propagules.
Natural vegetation does not include planted millet because of its use as both an agricultural crop and a species of natural vegetation for moist soil management. However, planted millet that grows on its own in subsequent years is considered natural vegetation.
If you restore and manage wetlands as habitat for waterfowl and other migratory birds, you can manipulate the natural vegetation in these areas and make them available for hunting.
Natural vegetation does not include plants grown as agricultural crops. Under no circumstances can you hunt waterfowl over manipulated crops prior to a normal harvest. Nor can you hunt waterfowl over manipulated wildlife food plots or manipulated plantings for soil stabilization.
Problem Areas
Feeding Waterfowl and Other Wildlife
Many people feed waterfowl for the pleasure of bird watching. It is illegal to hunt waterfowl in an area where such feeding has occurred that could lure or attract migratory game birds to, on, or over any area where hunters are attempting to take them. The 10-day rule applies to such areas, and any salt, grain, or feed must be gone 10 days before hunting. The use of sand and shell grit is not prohibited.
In some areas, it is a legal hunting practice to place grain to attract some State-protected game species (i.e., white-tailed deer). But these areas would be illegal for waterfowl hunting, and the 10-day rule would apply.
How close to bait can you hunt without breaking the law? There is no set distance. The law prohibits hunting if bait is present that could lure or attract birds to, on, or over areas where hunters are attempting to take them. Distance will vary depending on the circumstances and such factors as topography, weather, and waterfowl flight patterns. Therefore, this question can only be answered on a case-by-case basis.
What is Legal?
Standing crops or flooded standing crops, including aquatic plants.
Standing, flooded, or manipulated natural vegetation.
Flooded harvested croplands.
Lands or areas where grains have been scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, harvesting, or post-harvest manipulation.
Lands or areas where top-sown seeds have been scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, or a planting for agricultural soil erosion control or post-mining land reclamation.
A blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with natural vegetation.
A blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with vegetation from agricultural crops, provided your use of such vegetation does not expose, deposit, distribute or scatter grain or other feed.
Standing or flooded standing crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as the result of hunters entering or leaving the area, placing decoys, or retrieving downed birds. Hunters are cautioned that while conducting these activities, any intentional scattering of grain will create a baited area.
What is Illegal?
Areas where grain or seed has been top-sown and the Cooperative Extension Service does not recommend the practice of top sowing (see section on wildlife food plots).
Crops that have been harvested outside of the recommended harvest dates established by the Cooperative Extension Service (including any subsequent post-harvest manipulations).
Unharvested crops that have been trampled by livestock or subjected to other types of manipulations that distribute, scatter, or expose grain.
Areas where grain is present and stored, such as grain elevators and grain bins.
Areas where grain is present for the purpose of feeding livestock.
Freshly planted wildlife food plots that contain exposed grain.
Croplands where a crop has been harvested and the removed grain is redistributed or "added back" onto the area where grown.
These examples do not represent an all-inclusive list of waterfowl baiting violations.
The Hunter's Responsibility
Familiarize yourself with Federal and State waterfowl hunting regulations.
Ask the landowner, your host or guide, and your hunting partners if the area has been baited and inspect the area for the presence of bait. Suspect the presence of bait if you see waterfowl feeding in a particular area in unusually large concentrations or displaying a lack of caution.
Look for grain or other feed in the water, along the shore, and on the field. Pay particular attention to the presence of spilled grain on harvested fields and seeds planted by means of top sowing.
Confirm that scattered seeds or grains on agricultural lands are present solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, normal agricultural harvesting, normal agricultural post-harvest manipulation, or normal soil stabilization practice by consulting the Cooperative Extension Service.
Abandon the hunting site if you find grain or feed in an area and are uncertain about why it is there.
Other Responsibilities
If you prepare lands for hunting, participate in such preparations, or direct such preparations, it is important for you to know and understand what practices constitute baiting. You should know what activities constitute baiting and when lands or other areas would be considered baited before such areas are hunted. If you bait or direct that an area be baited and allow waterfowl hunting to proceed, you risk being charged with an offense that carries significant penalties.
Overview of Other Regulations
Additional Federal and State regulations apply to waterfowl hunting, including those summarized below.
Illegal hunting methods. You cannot hunt waterfowl:
With a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine gun, fish hook, poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying substance.
From a sink box or any other low floating device that conceals you beneath the surface of the water.
From a motorboat or sailboat, unless you shut the motor off or furl the sail and the vessel is no longer in motion.
Using live birds as decoys.
While possessing any shot other than approved nontoxic shot.
From or by means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle, motor-driven land conveyance, or aircraft (if you are a paraplegic or are missing one or both legs, you may hunt from a stationary car or other stationary motor-driven land vehicle or conveyance).
Using recorded or electrically amplified bird calls or sounds, or imitations of these calls and sounds.
With a shotgun that can hold more than three shells, unless you plug it with a one-piece filler that cannot be removed without disassembling the gun.
(The latter two restrictions do not apply during light-goose-only seasons in certain authorized areas of the Central and Mississippi Flyways.)
Shooting hours.
You cannot hunt waterfowl except during the hours open to shooting.
Closed season.
You cannot hunt waterfowl during the closed season.
Daily bag limit.
You can take only one daily bag limit in any one day. This limit determines the number of waterfowl you may legally have in your possession while in the field or while in route back to your car, hunting camp, home, or other destination.
Wanton waste.
You must make a reasonable effort to retrieve all waterfowl that you kill or cripple and keep these birds in your actual custody while in the field. You must immediately kill any wounded birds that you retrieve and count those birds toward your daily bag limit.
You cannot put or leave waterfowl at any place or in the custody of another person unless you tag the birds with your signature, address, number of birds identified by species, and the date you killed them.
. You cannot hunt waterfowl that have been concentrated, driven, rallied, or stirred up with a motorized vehicle or sailboat.
You cannot completely field-dress waterfowl before taking them from the field. The head or one fully feathered wing must remain attached to the birds while you transport them to your home or to a facility that processes waterfowl.
Dual violation.
A violation of a State waterfowl hunting regulation is also a violation of Federal regulations.
Duck stamp
If you are 16 or older, you must carry on your person an unexpired Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp. You must validate your duck stamp by signing it in ink across the face before hunting.
Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP)
Unless exempt from license requirements in the State where you are hunting, you must enroll in the HIP and carry proof of current enrollment while hunting.
Protected birds
Federal law prohibits the killing of non-game migratory birds. Protected birds that you could encounter while waterfowl hunting include songbirds, eagles, hawks, owls, vultures, herons, egrets, and woodpeckers.
Banded birds.
Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to report banded birds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service toll-free bird band report hotline at 1-800/327-2263.
Excerpts from Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20.21(i)
No persons shall take migratory game birds:
(i) By the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area, where a person knows or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited. However, nothing in this paragraph prohibits:
(1) The taking of any migratory game bird, including waterfowl, coots, and cranes, on or over the following lands or areas that are not otherwise baited areas--
(i) Standing crops or flooded standing crops (including aquatics); standing, flooded, or manipulated natural vegetation; flooded harvested croplands; or lands or areas where seeds or grains have been scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, harvesting, post-harvest manipulation or normal soil stabilization practice;
(ii) From a blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with natural vegetation;
(iii) From a blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with vegetation from agricultural crops, as long as such camouflaging does not result in the exposing, depositing, distributing or scattering of grain or other feed; or
(iv) Standing or flooded standing agricultural crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as a result of a hunter entering or exiting a hunting area, placing decoys, or retrieving downed birds.
(2) The taking of any migratory game bird, except waterfowl, coots and cranes, on or over lands or areas that are not otherwise baited areas, and where grain or other feed has been distributed or scattered solely as the result of manipulation of an agricultural crop or other feed on the land where grown, or solely as the result of a normal agricultural operation.

Flood the 4 acres to a minimum 18" from winter through June 15 th. this will kill most of the existing vegetation. Slowly draw down the water for a period of 2 weeks. This will expose a muddy bottom. Plant jap millet seed. Slammerize ducks in the marsh and go fishing in the pond. :)

MINERAL WELLS - The new West Virginia 14 bridge at Mineral Wells will open at 2 p.m. today.
The bridge, which eliminates a sharp bend in W.Va. 14 at W.Va. 21, is the last piece in a three-phase construction project near Interstate 77 in Mineral Wells that began in 2001, officials said Wednesday.
The project includes a traffic light at the junction of W.Va. 14 and Turkey Foot Road at Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church, said Division of Highways spokesman Mike Foley.

The new bridge on W.Va. 14 in Mineral Wells is scheduled to open today at 2 p.m.
Foley said the first phase of the project was the addition of an overpass at I-77 in Mineral Wells. The second phase was in north Mineral Wells with the addition of four lanes at Pettyville.
The third phase is this bridge in south Mineral Wells on W.Va. 14 toward Elizabeth.
Although the two lanes of the bridge will be open to traffic today, officials said work at the site will continue over the next few weeks.
Article Map
The new traffic signal on the south end of the bridge at Turkey Foot Road will not be functional until power can be provided, Foley said. Additional signs for traffic control will be at the site along with message boards notifying the public of the new traffic pattern.
The project has cost $9.4 million and was done by Orders Construction.
Wood County Commissioner Blair Couch said from the county's perspective any time travel can be made safe and easier it is a good thing.
"It means a boom to businesses," he said. "So folks that live near us have a safer and better way to travel out of our county."
Couch said eliminating the curve in W.Va. 14 at W.Va. 21 is a way to improve the safety of the roadway.
"It wasn't safe," he said. "It is a highly congested area."
Many people travel to Parkersburg from Mineral Wells and Wirt County for doctor appointments and shopping, he said.
"It could potentially spur development in both areas," Couch said.
Motorists should exercise caution on the bridge and when driving through the south end intersection at Turkey Foot Road, the DOH said.

SAN JOSE -- A jury has awarded $10 million to two former Silicon Valley investors who claimed they were cheated after their former fund -- launched by 49ers legends -- was seized by a creditor.
Jurors in the three-week trial ruled that Capital Dynamics, a Swiss investment house that bought the funds from creditor Silicon Valley Bank, acted with "malice, oppression or fraud" in voiding the contracts of Duran Curis and Darren Wong, who had managed more than $2 billion in funds for HRJ Capital before the firm's 2008 collapse.
While the award was about half of what Curis and Wong had been seeking, Capital Dynamics vowed to appeal, saying the judge and jury misunderstood the law.
"We vehemently disagree with the verdict," Thomas Kubr, the firm's founder and executive chairman, told this newspaper from Zurich.
Kubr said Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg was wrong in November when he ruled that Capital Dynamics was bound to honor the contracts Curis and Wong had signed with HRJ. Those pacts promised both men a portion of the management fees and other income generated by HRJ's investments in venture capital firms, real estate trusts and hedge funds.
Former 49ers Harris Barton and Ronnie Lott began raising the investment funds from fellow star athletes during the dot-com era; Niners legend Joe Montana later joined up, although he'd left the firm before its failure.
HRJ got into trouble thanks to its strategy of "warehousing" investments, which means making financial commitments before yet having the money in hand. The firm borrowed millions from Silicon Valley Bank to make good on those promises, but that approach imploded when the global credit crunch left HRJ unable to raise enough from new investors to repay the bank.
Attorneys for Capital Dynamics had argued during the trial that Wong and Curis were responsible for the risky scheme and were to blame for HRJ's collapse, although Barton on the stand defended his former employees.
After Silicon Valley Bank seized control of HRJ's funds in December 2008, Wong and Curis were pushed out for allegedly planning to force the firm into involuntary bankruptcy so they could recover some of what was owed to them. Both men had worked for months without full pay as HRJ teetered toward bankruptcy.
Capital Dynamics argued unsuccessfully that the contracts Wong and Curis had signed with HRJ Capital became void when the men left the firm and HRJ ceased to exist.
"The notion that my clients did anything wrong seems absurd," Michael Baumann, the attorney for Curis and Wong, said Thursday.
He said the two men -- who now work for investment firms based in Santa Monica and Beijing, respectively -- "are gratified that their claims have been vindicated."
Vindication was also on the minds of Barton and Lott.
Barton, a former All-Pro offensive lineman, said via email that the trial proved he and Lott had worked to do right both by the plaintiffs and the investors in the funds as they were being taken over by Silicon Valley Bank.
"As you can imagine, this is a huge relief for me personally," Barton added. "I think HRJ put together some exceptional investment portfolios, and I hope that the funds continue to do well."
The funds' future performance is very much a key to how much money Wong and Curis might ultimately reap. Judge Patricia Lucas is expected to sit down with both sets of attorneys in coming weeks to hammer out how much of the funds' profits -- if any -- the plaintiffs will be entitled to in the future.
Lucas also will decide how much the two men are due in attorney fees. All told, people familiar with the case said the final judgment could top $13 million. Any amount that withstands appeal ultimately will be paid out of the HRJ funds Capital Dynamics now manages.
Kubr -- whose firm oversees a $17 billion global portfolio -- said he's confident an appeals court will agree Capital Dynamics was protecting HRJ's investors when it concluded the Wong and Curis contracts were no longer valid.
"If these guys want to accuse us of fraud for not paying a claim that had no legal basis," he said, "well, that was the right thing to do."

One of the greatest-ever collapses in the for-profit career college sector continued late Thursday night with a shutdown deal between Corinthian Colleges Inc. and the U.S. Department of Education that generally promises full reimbursement for eligible students.
Corinthian will have to stop enrolling students at schools it plans to close and it must disclose the status of each campus to current and prospective students, according to the agreement.
The company plans to sell 85 of its 97 U.S. schools. The remaining 12 will be closed. The list of schools to be sold and those to close was not released with the agreement.
Until last month, the company had withstood numerous investigations by federal agencies and states, including California, into allegations it falsified records and deceived prospective students to get them -- and their federal grants and loans -- in the door.
Corinthian's luck ran out in June when the education department put a 21-day freeze on its federal student aid money, saying "the company failed to address concerns about its practices.''
Days later, the department agreed to release $16 million in exchange for a deal ensuring a shutdown that would minimize students' disruption. The original deadline was Tuesday night.
The education department agreed to release another $35 million in federal student aid to the company to be used exclusively to help students complete their programs if they choose to do so after being fully informed of their options.
All spending will need to be approved by the department and an independent monitor will have access to all of the colleges' records and transition plans.
The California-based career college giant owns Heald, Everest and WyoTech career colleges, which have 107 campuses in the United States and Canada and more than 70,000 students, about one-third of them in California.
The company has said it plans to sell all 12 of its Heald campuses, but it has yet to find any buyers. The agreement set a time limit to get that done.
The company is for-profit and publicly traded, but most of its revenue comes from federal student aid -- $1.4 billion a year in taxpayer-funded grants and loans, according to the education department.
Its demise, though considered long overdue by consumer advocates and disenchanted former students, has implications for students and taxpayers.
Students at closed schools can have their federal loans discharged if they don't complete their programs at another institution through a "teach-out" agreement arranged by Corinthian. Typically, credits from a for-profit institution won't transfer to a community college or a university.
Those enrolled between June 22 and July 8 will be entitled to a full refund.
The department said it would closely watch how the company spends its last federal dollars.
"Corinthian will not use federal funding to pay dividends, legal settlements of lawsuits or investigations, or debt repayments," it said. It also noted that "bonuses, severance payments, raises and retention agreements" must be reported to an independent monitor and are subject to the department's approval.
Many students leave Corinthian and other expensive trade schools with an overwhelming debt load and poor job prospects. An analysis by this newspaper last fall showed former students at for-profit institutions -- about 10 percent of all college students -- accounted for half of all of the student-loan defaults in the Bay Area, suggesting they didn't earn enough to make their debt payments.
"We have accepted an operating plan for Corinthian Colleges Inc. that will protect students' futures and fulfill the Department's responsibilities to taxpayers moving forward," U.S. Education Under Secretary Ted Mitchell said.

Lansing's BioPort Corporation is the only facility approved by the Food and Drug Administration to produce anthrax vaccine. The corporation is working at full capacity to produce the vaccine for U.S. troops.
Employees at BioPort are working seven days a week making the vaccine. All of the laboratory's production is being used by the military. Anthrax vaccination is mandatory for U.S. troops.
The FDA approved BioPort over a year ago. There has been controversy surrounding mandatory vaccination, but BioPort says the vaccine is safe.
The vaccine is given through an injection. Side effects are similar to those caused by other vaccinations, including soreness at the injection site, redness, and itching,
Kim Brennen Root, a spokesperson for the corporation, says security is an issue BioPort is dealing with seriously. After Sept. 11, security at the facility was increased. Brennen Root says no changes have been made to security at this point, but the organization is always vigilant.
Brennen Root says BioPort will be continually evaluating security and making changes as needed.

Anthrax Facts
Symptoms of Anthrax
Skin infection begins as a raised itchy bump that resembles an insect bite but within 1-2 days develops into a vesicle and then a painless ulcer, usually 1-3 cm in diameter, with a characteristic black necrotic (dying) area in the center.
Lymph glands in the adjacent area may swell. About 20 percent of untreated cases of cutaneous anthrax will result in death. Deaths are rare with appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Initial signs of nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever are followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and severe diarrhea. Intestinal anthrax results in death in 25 percent to 60 percent of cases.

Investigators say that Dhondt told them he and Hehir had argued and that the dispute turned physical.
Dhondt has requested a court-appointed attorney, and his next court hearing is scheduled for March.

Leen Al-Alami
A native of Amman, Jordan, Leen Al-Alami L'13 has an A.B. in Government and A.M. in Middle Eastern Studies, both from Harvard University. She spent six years working after college before coming to Penn Law, first in corporate communications in New York and then as a communications strategist for King Abdullah of Jordan, followed by another communications position for the Government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. She also worked as a press officer for the European Union Delegation to Jordan in the six months before coming to Penn Law. She is now an Associate at Dechert LLP in Philadelphia.
A business plan for the Middle East.
Upon graduation from Penn Law, I will be an associate at a Philadelphia firm. In the long run, I hope to be able to apply in the Middle East what I learned at Penn Law and throughout my legal career. The Middle East is clearly at a crossroads right now, and I think that people do not talk enough about the change that could come about from strengthening the legal infrastructure for corporations and financial investment in the region with the goal of creating much-needed development and job opportunities for the people there.
The attraction of cross-disciplinary study.
Penn Law's focus on cross-disciplinary coursework was a huge draw in my decision to come here. I have taken a class at Wharton, but I also see value in the cross-disciplinary work my classmates are taking, because it enriches the discussion in the law classroom.
International inspiration.
In the summer after my 1L year, I worked at the Open Society Justice Initiative, which falls under the umbrella of George Soros's Open Society Foundations. I worked on a number of issues in the area of international justice and international criminal law. Although I do not want to work in this area of law, it was inspiring to spend the summer with legal professionals who so passionately dedicate their careers to helping protect people around the world.
A leg up with on-campus interviews.
CP&P's guidance throughout the on-campus recruiting process was invaluable. I am so grateful to the Center, and especially to Heather Frattone for being so supportive and willing to help.
Collaboration runs deep.
At no point in my Penn Law career did I feel alone. The school, both administration and faculty, works hard to foster this unique collaborative spirit, and the spirit runs deep in the institution. Because of it, I have gotten to know many of my professors personally outside the classroom. Equally important, the Penn Law collegiality means not only a happier 1L year, but also an open, collaborative environment in which students can share their experiences, both inside and outside the classroom – and we are all richer for it.
Something's always cookin' at the Law School.
Being back in the classroom, learning, with phenomenal classmates has been the best part of law school, as clichéd as that may sound, but judging the outstanding cooking skills of Professors Balganesh and deLisle in the Penn Law Iron Chef contest was a close second.

Why Choose Alliant International University?
Service and leadership
Alliant's schools are all pioneers in professional education and in preparing students for a wide variety of professional careers of leadership and service. Education and training at Alliant works to prepare practitioners who are equipped to make significant contributions right from the start of their careers and on through their professional lives.
Experience integrated into education
One of the University's key beliefs is that students benefit from an education relevant to current community issues and based on a combination of academic theory in the classroom and hands-on experience in the field. This practical integration of theory and practice helps Alliant students to be innovative change agents solving the real-world issues of today's diverse, global society.
Alliant provides a professional school environment—students learn from a faculty of seasoned working professionals and most receive practical training while still in school through a combination of internships, practica, consulting and community service projects.
Diversity in action
The academic experience at Alliant exposes students to a diverse community of students, faculty and staff which encourages different points of view, thinking outside the box and taking risks to address community challenges. The current student body at Alliant comes from 49 states and more than 75 countries.
Alliant has been a top producer of graduate degrees for minorities for the last five years. Our students come from all walks of life--first in the family to pursue a higher education, military veterans completing/re-starting their education, working professionals, graduates of community colleges as well as the Ivy League. We believe a diversity of views leads to a better environment for solving community problems and inspires bigger thinking.
Close mentoring relationships with our faculty provide students at Alliant with a nurturing and supportive environment. Combined with the supportive and diverse environment, students consistently say they are able to discover opportunities they might never find on their own.
A larger sense of purpose
At Alliant, success is measured not only in terms of the number of degrees awarded and the number of academic papers published but also by the impact students and graduates make in the communities in which they work. Our 45,000+ alumni contribute daily to diverse communities around the world.
Field placements, practica and internships are often aimed at benefiting underserved communities. Students frequently engage in community-based projects that address real needs and issues in their surrounding communities. Alliant students contribute more than one million hours of community service each year as part of their professional education.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks will have both Tommy Wingels and Tyler Kennedy back in the lineup Thursday night when the rival Detroit Red Wings make their only appearance of the season at SAP Center.
But the team won't have defenseman Matt Irwin in the lineup after he suffered an upper body injury in Tuesday's 3-2 loss in Nashville.
Wingels had missed the last five games recovering from an upper body injury while Kennedy had missed four battling the flu.
"They look good and ready to go," said coach Todd McLellan, whose injury-plagued team still has five forwards on the injured list. "That's a nice thing to have them back, and now they have to produce."
Kennedy in particular has struggled this season with only three goals in 39 games since being acquired in the off-season from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"Tyler coming back from the flu, hopefully his energy level is where it needs to be, but he is an energizing type player," McLellan said. "Maybe this little break due to illness will reset his season and get him going."
Kennedy, who appeared to be slotted on the third line with Bracken Kearns and Andrew Desjardin, agreed this was a chance to get his season back on track with key players such as Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl unable to play.
"Whenever guys are out of the lineup you get an opportunity to get better and get a little more ice time," Kennedy said. "Obviously, I've got to embrace it and take the challenge."
Wingels was skating alongside Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto on a makeshift second line and he, too, was glad to be back in action.
"It's good to be back. You want to be in the lineup to help the team and I'm able to do it," he said.
The Sharks recalled defenseman Matt Tennyson from Worcester, but he is not expected to play against Detroit. Instead, Scott Hannan will be back in the lineup after missing the past two games as a healthy scratch.

I never listen to music when I run. I'm comfortable with my own thoughts. I do like scaring the heck out of Ipod wearers though. I have yet to come up behind some one wearing one that is even the slightest aware of their surroundings. They always jump when I go around them. Always. You need to keep your wits about you.One young lady spun 180 degrees in the air with a look of pure terror when I told her I was "on your left". Great fun!
I find that if I'm running outside, I actually do better without the music. If I'm on the treadmill, music is a must, as I hate the treadmill and it makes it a bit more bearable.
I just started running a few weeks ago. Ive been doing the C25k, so I have to listen to my ipod to hear when to walk and when to run. However, I used to walk every single day and I HAD to have music or I got bored.
Oh, but now I live in an apartment and I'd be afraid to run around the "community" with headphones (or without) for fear of getting run over or something. Theres no sidewalk and cars fly through the parking lot like its a highway.
Music and running is a very big topic. I run in college and what I do when i go for 15 mile runs i put some music on to not get so bored, but if i am doing a work out or doing a run that needs to have a certain pace i will never put music on. NCAA races dont allow you to use music so I would rather train in the same conditions as my race. So i think music helps me get through really long runs but it does influence the pace.
Matthew J. Arpino
Listening to music is a MUST for me while running, not jogging, indoors or outdoors. For anyone who is scared to get hit by car, there is no need to have the music blasting through your headphones. I run with music and manage to still pay attention to cars. I also find running and chewing gum to help, as well. It keeps me from getting thirsty or tired for a while.
I will run with music, and without it. But, you can get very dependent on an MP3 player for your runs, and get into deep trouble when you sign up for a race that bans them. They can be a huge distraction from traffic, passing runners/bikers, etc., but that's also the beauty of running with music. You can drown out the whole world. I'm not so much listening to the music, as using it as white noise. I get lost inside my head, thinking through all of the problems that have been weighing heavy on me. And, the not so heavy stuff, like what I'm going to cook for dinner, wear on that date tomorrow night, or what I'm going to get my grandmother for her birthday next month....Music is a way to lose yourself in your run, and forget about the hard work your body is doing, or how many miles you have left. This is why I love running with music if I'm going on a solo run, and get kind of sad if I realize my ipod battery is dead as I'm walking out the door. However, if I'm running with others, or in an area where I need to be aware of my suuroundings (a new park, or a wilderness area where I may run into creatures, or a sketchy part of town), I will leave the earbuds at home, and just enjoy the sounds of nature, traffic, life :-)
I do on occasion.
If I can listen to music, I am all for it. Normally when I am on my own I am running to heavy metal or hard rock...the tempos help change up the pace. Plus it helps me clear my head, however I still remain vigilant to my surroundings, especially when I am running on the streets. Now on the other hand, when I am pt'ing my Marines or running with my peers, headphones are a NO-GO on base. But that is where good ole Marine Corps Cadence comes into play. If the Marine calling cadence can sing a good tune it motivates us all. Cadence forces you to breath and pace your breathing plus keep everyone in step so you are not tripping over the feet in front of you.
Semper Fi!

I had been listenting to music while I ran for a long time, I recently started to run without it and I feel more in control of my pace and breathing - and being more aware of the surroundings seems to make for a more comfortable run. I would reccomend trying without music and trying with music and deciding which is best for you.
I have the same problem as TweetyPie with small ears. The apple ear buds do not fit in my ears. I usually end up buying the kind with the little plastic caps that come with an assortment of sizes so I can pick the right size.
I've always had the fear of not hearing a car backing out of a driveway while listening to music while I'm running so I have "around the ear" headphones that rest perfectly on my shoulders so I can still hear my music and everything else around me.
Unfortunately I'm one of those that has to listen to music while I run. It's my biggest motivator.
Looking forward to this: http://www.hotchocolate15k.com/sandiego/
Monkey in the Middle,
Have you already registered for the Hollywood Half? If so, I'll see you there! There's also a brand new Rock N' Roll Half in Pasadena that I'm running too; it's in February. Happy training!
...I can't run with music, for some reason; I find my pace changes with each song change, so it ends up being one more thing I have to concentrate on. I wish I could, because music motivates me during almost any other activity!
Terranss I did sign up already. I couldn't resist that summer discount they offered and I've always wanted to run through Hollywood. I know the L.A. Marathon goes through there but I am far from running a marathon.
I missed the discount for the Pasadena RnR otherwise I would've signed up for that one instead. I can only handle one 1/2 a year. LOL! You rock!!! Good luck!
Looking forward to this: http://www.hotchocolate15k.com/sandiego/
I need three things when I run: Music, Water and Gum. I also have the luck of needing an inhaler when my allergies kick in causing ashtma conditions.
I have ran without music before and it's do able, but I trained wearing ear buds and I am just to use to it. When I can strap on my running shoes and blast Rage Against the Machine in my head for 30 minutes it makes life a little similar.

The bottle water industry exceeds $100 billion in revenue worldwide per year. The industry promotes bottle water as being a safe water option, but in reality bottled water is expensive, resource intensive and poses possible general health concerns.
Here are several reasons to reconsider the use of bottled water:
- Not Healthier – Bottled water often contains more bacteria and impurities than tap water, because the EPA regulates municipal water systems more stringently than the FDA regulates bottled water. Since most water does not cross state lines, in many cases it is exempt from FDA oversight, while the water in your local municipal water system is regulated by the EPA. Municipal water systems are regularly tested bacteria and toxic chemicals.
- Resource Intensive – In the US, it takes the equivalent of more than 18 million barrels of oil to manufacture the bottles needed for the US bottled water industry. The energy and fuel costs needed to ship the the bottled water is also extremely expensive for a product that is readily available from your own tap.
- Purchase Price – The purchase price for bottled water can range as high as the equivalent of $10 gallon when purchased from retail and vending machines. Compare this to gasoline that is less than $4 per gallon.
- Clean up Costs – It is estimated that is costs more than $80 million to clean up the more than 4 billion bottles that pass through the US wast stream.
- Waste – in the United States, less than 20% of PET bottles are recycled, resulting in over 1.2 million tons of plastic waste in US landfills.

The debt should not ,at this time ,be a major focus rather first a lot of money should put people to work as was done in ww 2. The taxes from the employed added to raising taxes on the top 2 percent would be a good start then on to Medicare by tweaking including lower prices for drugs by negotiating and bidding would put the focus on lowering future costs.

Where can the federal government make the most headway on reducing the deficit?
16 Comments
Last I knew, one must contribute to Social Security before one can receive any of their money back. Key word, "their."
I couldn't choose between any of the departments to cut funds for their all important. What I think we need to do is stop giving those 146 countries in the world foreign aid and not let Congress vote to let illegals have access to the social security system that we have payed into all our working lives.It appears that we as a Nation are letting our politicians destroy everything that we spent our lives defending. of course that is only my opinion.
I'm tired of hearing about all the money we give out in Foreign Aid. I don't remember authorizing the President to give MY money away. I don't remember ANY President discussing how much money he would GIVE AWAY during an election campain! I think such things should require a public vote on a case by case basis. Some students can get federal "grants" for education but most receive loans they have to pay back. Ok, we'll give a LOAN to a Foreign Government for Aid! And you get no more till that one is paid in full! Are Federal Loans counted to the Federal Deficit? And, NO MORE FOREGIN AID TILL THERE IS NO DEFICIT!
A large amount of greatly needed American dollars could be realized by reducing Congressional and White House salaries and expense accounts. Why should these persons live like King and Queens, when we taxpayng citizens lives very close to our much less resources.
And Why does our current U.S. Congress favor exorbitant tax exempt salaries for CEOS of American financial institutions and other commercial and non commercial enterprises, and then not have sufficient resources to take adequate care of our returning Veterans of a non-Constitutional warfare, brought about by eager and very greedy American business enterprise at the expense of our American military men and women and others?
I am a 81 year old Veteran of the "Koren conflict" and an active member of the
American Legion.
If you want to balance the budget create jobs and lower taxes all one need do is raise tarifs on underpriced goods coming in to the US from the rest of the world.
The money raised funds the gov. the increases in price makes it profitable to make the item here ie more jobs.
(1) The government is paying out $113.BILLION dollars per year to illegals. What is the VA budget? (2) They give illegals free health care, free schooling, now in Calif. the Supreme Court ruled they must give illegals free college - who pays - WE ALL ARE and it is only going downhill. There is no question when President feels or finally realizes he will not win next election he will behind congress's backs issue an executive order giving amensty to illegals, simply for votes - he figures around 10million votes - that is a huge hump to overcome. So if the President, the Congress was actually serious about reducing the deficit it could be done swiftly . no political points probably. If Congress would only remember why they are there and that is suppose to represent us - that has long gone. I am sure this will never be posted but helps writing it. Pres.Obama, "This is no longer a Christian Nation" and he is still playing King - May GOD bless America!
there are many places the government can look at to cut back on, one is first of all their pay - cut the pay of congress and the senate in half, $100.000 a year is plenty for any man or woman, two, stop giving aid to our enemies, three, make all the countries who owe us money pay their debt by paying China, and stop all aid to ILLEGAL aliens. Send them back from whence they came.
There should be no need to cut into what our senior citizens have worked so hard for so many years to attain.
End all government subsidies for not growing crops. In a world where people are starving it is unconscionable to pay people to not produce crops. Additionally, the government should not be in the business of providing subsidies to sucessful corporations for any reason. These businesses are capable of advertising their products, expanding operations and researching new developments without government largess. Additionally, the government should not prop up failing businesses. If a corporation cannot stand on its own productivity and fiscal management it should be REQUIRED to go bankrupt, not bailed out by the government.
Secondly, there should be no government money spent on welfare, of any kind, for illegal aliens while simultaneously putting in place a federal system to check the citizenship status of every person applying for a job or already employed with all those discovered here illegally immediately deported.
These savings should dramatically reduce the national debt.
In order to reduce our deficit: The best way is to bring our troops home from the Middle East ... instead of having to fight these wars for the oil companies. These are dastardly, expensive and unwinnable war(s) in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq.
Then we can use ONLY a SUFFICIENT number of OUR troops here in the USA to protect our borders and homeland. We are sacrificing the lives of our own young men/women for oil interests of Exxon/Mobile.
We have sufficient amounts of petroleum reserves here on the North American continent ... plus the largest of natural gas reserves of any other continent.
Also, "WE THE PEOPLE" should insist on continuing to perfect and to promote solar, hydrogen and natural gas developement and usage, whenever combustible engines are involved, and whenever it comes to generating electricity.
I think the federal government could save billions of dollars by stop giving money to foreign countries that are not our friends amd allies. Our leaders in Washington seem to believe they can by friendship - some of these people are taking our monies and laughing at us as theu use it for things we do not believe in.
Taking our elected officials in Washington off of the fed payroll and putting them on their state payroll is a first start toward more accountability. The state will govern what their retirement will be, what their salary will be, whether or not they get a raise, how many holidays off they receive, etc. Once on the state payroll they become more like the citizens they are supposed to be serving and know their continuance in office now really depends on performance. They will be more in tune with state issues and less inclined to just go with the flow.
This is the best idea I have heard of in a long, long time. This idea needs to be passed around all members, friends, and families. Get the word out to the country on this, that we the people are fed up with the way things have been run in Washington with Representatives who do not represent the people who elected them. They have to be made accountable to us, not to corporations, not to illegal and unconstitutional pledges to the Norquist Party, but to US!
Why is it such a mystery? STOP SPENDING what we don't have! There are thousands of social and corporate mandated expenses that benefit only a few and bury the rest of us. The beneficiaries that never put anything back should be identified and defunded immediately.
One sure fire way to stop this favoritism is TERM LIMITS. We have stagnant elected officials in office who have outlived their usefullness and have evolved into a society unto themselves have become a major part of all of the problems we face. Two terms and go home and find a job.
If they would stop giving our money to illegal aliens and all poititians take a 80 percent pay cut and also all polititians go on social security. We could save millions. All of there pay and retirement money is stolen from the taxpayer because they work for us and they did not have our vote on any of it.
if they would auit the illeagle alian problem that alone would solve the problem, with their welfare tate they live in the national debt would also be taken care of, i have no problem with those who are here leagaly, but theothers its time to quit their welfare state

Oak Ridge High School's stirring 21-14 comeback win at Powell last Friday night had all of the characteristics of a season-changer for the Wildcats.
Oak Ridge, down 14-0 after three quarters, saw senior quarterback Jaylin Henderson toss three fourth-quarter touchdown passes to three different players as the visiting Wildcats (6-2, 5-1 District 3-AAA) stunned the Panthers (5-3, 4-2).
The win keeps the Wildcats in the hunt for the district title with games remaining against Knoxville Central and neighboring Anderson County.
"We said two weeks ago that we needed to go 4-0 to end the season," said Oak Ridge coach Joe Gaddis. "Powell was a big step up in competition for us."
Since a surprising loss at Campbell County on Oct. 4, the 'Cats have beaten Karns at home and Powell away. Tonight's game against Central has Oak Ridge scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff in Fountain City.
A win against the Bobcats could give Oak Ridge added confidence as the team prepares to host a 7-1 Anderson County team on Blankenship Field on Halloween night.
The Wildcats' final regular season game isn't only being held on a Thursday night instead of Friday NEXT week, but that kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

i upgraded a few of the progs it uses to Sliksvn 1.6.9, Ant 1.80 and jdk 220.127.116.11, still runs the same but nice to have the newest versions. maybe u could do it too and up it

Frames Edit
i was wondering if there could be a frame of some sort around the book that is being expected as a movie, like right now we're waiting for Eclipse? so maybe a silver frame around the one's that are movies and gold around the ones we're waiting for at this momment?

- Well, it's just CSS. You can make the site appear absolutely anyway you want. However, I'd advise you to wait. fingernails 03:38, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh appeared healthy and in positive spirits Friday, a day after the 49ers coach underwent a minor procedure for an irregular heartbeat.
"I'm glad to be back," Harbaugh said after coaching Friday morning's practice. "I'm fine-fine, and ready to go to work."
Aside from altering his diet, cutting down on caffeine and throwing back some aspirin, Harbaugh said doctors placed "no limits" on him. He plans to stick to his "normal" routine, which will include working the sideline Monday night for the game between the host 49ers (6-2-1) and Chicago Bears (7-2).
Harbaugh dismissed the notion of taking a calmer approach or even trying meditation as a stress outlet. Simply put, Harbaugh isn't about to tone down his passion for football.
"He's just an intense person," fullback Bruce Miller said. "He's not slowing down. He was just as fired up and as intense this morning (at practice)."
Harbaugh met with team doctors Wednesday night when his heart "just felt like it was beating faster than normal."
That prompted Thursday's outpatient procedure at Stanford Hospital, and Harbaugh returned to the 49ers facility to observe the final hour of Thursday's practice.
"When he showed up, it gave everybody a spark," defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois said.
"Being our coach, he couldn't leave us all day, and he had to come back and show his face at practice," cornerback Carlos Rogers added with a laugh.
This wasn't Harbaugh's first encounter with what an irregular heartbeat, or specifically an atrial flutter. Some 13 years ago, when he was quarterbacking the San Diego Chargers near the end of his career, Harbaugh sought similar treatment for a more severe heart irregularity, he said.
Harbaugh called Thursday morning's cardioversion procedure "amazing" in how it quickly gets a heart rate normal.
Harbaugh scoffed at the idea he might be headed for career burnout: "I don't foresee that." Nor did he seek sympathy upon returning to work.
"He's never shown a weakness, and he definitely downplayed it," Miller said.
Several players, and Harbaugh himself, joked that he was susceptible to getting fined for missing Thursday's team meetings.
Harbaugh, meanwhile, was back to his normal routine at Friday's practice. That entailed shuffling papers with the practice schedule on it, as well as catching passes on short routes while looking like the picture of good health, once again.

EDGEFIELD COUNTY, S.C. -- A Strom Thurmond High School student was arrested after allegedly having multiple weapons in his car on school property.
When officials searched 17-year-old Matthew Edwards' truck on Monday, they found what appeared to be marijuana cigarettes, a 12-guage shotgun, a .22-caliber rifle, a pellet gun and ammunition.
Edwards was arrested and booked on weapons and drug charges. He has since been released on bond.
It all started when Edwards and a special education student were believed to have marijuana on them at Friday's football game. The special education student was found with a substance believed to be marijuana. Edwards was able to get away on Friday but authorities had probable cause to search his car on Monday.
The superintendent and principal are both recommending that Edwards be expelled. The district has a zero-tolerance policy for weapons on campus.
The superintendent says a hearing should be held within 10 days. If Edwards is expelled, he can appeal to the school board.

Drug enforcement agents are back in the Applegate Valley, this time raiding gardens in the 800 block of Left Fork Humbug Creek Road, according to Lori Duckworth, executive director of the Southern Oregon chapter of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Spokespersons for the FBI and Oregon State Police would not confirm any details about the raid while it was still under investigation. Duckworth was near the property during the raid and said there were three growing sites associated with the property and that the neighbors speculated that there were about 300 plants being seized.
According to Duckworth, the growers were not associated with SONORML. The last known raid by Drug Enforcement Administration agents was Sept. 18 at High Hopes Farm, a well-known medical marijuana garden in Ruch.
More information will be released as it becomes available.
