I was howling this morning trying to locate some yotes so I could get on them and start calling at sun up. I was sitting in the dark, and heard a crunching sound, not unlike a predator munching bones. I thought I was just spooking myself. That's when I found this about 60 yards away, complete with coyote. Unfortunately, in the dark I must have dipped my front sight in the dirt, and couldn't get a shot off at him with my sight covered in mud. He was then gone faster than I could clean the sight off.
He was eating with me right there. Apparently I played the wind right.

That right side tine was interesting. It's almost like a dagger blade. Very flat and thin with a good point.

In the pix. Yotes sure do know what parts to eat first don't they. Instead of being called the carnivore's of the woods. They should have been named the connoisseur's of the woods by looking at that deer. Not much left for the birds to pick at is there. (neck bones and hoof or two)

Sure wish they would put a bounty back on them for a cpl of years and get em thinned back down. In the past 5 years they have really jumped in numbers around here.
In our first yr of trapping we caught 100 predators. Our turkey population exploded the next 2 years. Seeing more birds this year than anytime in the previous 15 years.

Trapping is illegal in my county, but I'd sure be tempted to do it if I could.

I know if I wanted that yote or maybe a shot at a few of his friends, I'd be back out there hunting that carcass.
They'll be back after the rest.

I went back that afternoon, the following weekend, and now it's gone. They're feeding at night there, I think. I don't know, though. I can't be on a carcass for 8 hours like when I was single.

I just bought a foxpro wildfire electronic call, I had them load the sounds they figured I would use the most for coyotes, wolves, and bobcats. I am hoping to put some smack on the yotes around here, we have plenty! The call sounds amazing, just havnt had a chance to get out with it yet. I have been fairly succesful with my mouth calls but have never taken it really serious, I plan to start soon! I don't care about the hides so I plan to use my .257 weatherby with my handloads, 80 grain barnes ttsx bullets going over my chronograph right at 3700 fps, should do the trick

We got too many prarrie dogs here we shoot the prarrie dogs and let the yotes help us thin them out.

That's one thing we don't have anymore. We haven't had prairie dogs up here in years. Too bad the yotes don't get the gophers in the yard. The house cats have even given up on them.

More yotes moved in an old den here right outside the yard at the head of the ravine not more then 50yds from the house.
I killed three out of that den a couple years ago and thought I had destroyed the den but I can see they have rehabbed it.
Happened to notice scraps from what looked to be a deer gut pile dropped at the entrance and with further examination saw tracks. Wondered why my bunny population had dropped so rapidly here around the house.
Time to start burning the 'midnight oil' again.

Basically, in IL over the last 35 years the Yotes have moved from western IL across state all the way to the IN state line (and maybe some actually moved west from IN to IL). What they have done is to wreck havoc on upland game as well as domesticated animals (as you know, any available pets are Yote treats). Well, I knew a farm kid who found a Yote pup and raised it as a pet. A couple years later the farm was burgled, and the kid's Am Staff was stolen, but the Yote wasn't. The kid was happy that he still had his Yote as he so liked the qualities it displayed.

CurlyQ, here in central Indiana the coyotes are thick as anything and have been for years...I'm sure they didn't wait to fill IL before coming here! There is a place near here that has a captive wolf pack that they study. As a fundraiser they have "wolf howl" nights -- lots of fun for the kids. You get the wolves worked up and then when they stop for a minute, you can hear all the coyotes in the surrounding farmland who joined in. I still recall being shocked at the number of coyotes around us that night.
Just a couple weeks ago I got woke up by a pack making an awful racket right outside our bedroom. Of course by the time I got a shotgun loaded and was out the door they were gone.
I've got a couple weekend earmarked to hunt them this winter. I've got a Saiga 12 set up for night hunting. For several years I've been wanting to get one with my 300WM with my "coyote loads" - 110gr Vmax at ~3800fps Anybody want the hide??

I have some 130 gr that move close to that. At those speeds, I found out that most of the soft points made in .308 are frangable.

spaniel, I agree. In fact, that's what I was trying to say: That the Yotes in the eastern part of IL may well have come here (moving from IN west to IL). I hadn't spent time in IN, so I wasn't aware of the Yote situation there and could not say if Yotes were in IN to move west to IL. My experience was just the opposite; friends and relatives in western IL telling me their Yote troubles by the mid to late seventies, and as I hunted in central IL, I noticed that Yotes were there before they got here (eastern IL).

Saw more coyotes this year than deer up until the last few days of bow season. I'm in Indiana. On one occasion I was leaving the woods walking through a thicket and when I got to the other side there was a big yote coming right towards me. He didn't see me til he was about 10yds or so from me. I had put my arrow back in the quiver and couldn't get to my pistol.
It's ok though cause I got this one on the last Tuesday of bow season with my handgun

Hi I'm Ashley Earp! I know everyone thinks of the ideal college life as fresh out of high school looking forward to making their dreams come true and having new experiences in a new atmosphere. However, in today's society it sometimes isn't possible or is thrown away all to easily. I was one of those people, I was rebellious and way to careless after highschool and I attended 1 semester of college. Now that I am 25 and a working, married mother of 2 young kids I am also a college student. I work 40+ hours a week, take my daughter to school, take care of my wounded veteran husband and manage to maintain a 95% average in all of my classes for healthcare administration and nursing. I also run a small business from my home as well!
I recently was searching for jobs to do from home when I came across Madame Deals "Work at Home" section. After scrolling through a few things I saw her Writers Needed post. I am a freelance writer for a few different places so I decided to look into it and see what she was looking for. Under the topics I saw college life, and I immediately sent her an email with a pitch.
Everyone see's college students as fresh out of high school, ready to take on the new experience of college and everything that comes with it. What you usually don't envision is a 25 year old mother of two, working 40+ hours a week, running a business from home, taking care of an injured veteran husband and still managing to maintain a 95% average in all classes. That is me!
I attempted to go to college right out of high school, for pre-med/pre-vet studies. I lasted about a semester because, like a lot of teenagers, my priorities were extremely skewed. I dropped out of college, moved to Texas with a friend and lived there for 5 years. Granted it was a good thing for me, I met my now husband while he was stationed at Fort Hood, I lived the military life and was a happy Army wife the whole time.
I had our first daughter while my husband was deployed, going through the last 6 months of pregnancy alone and delivering alone is not a great experience but it was what had to be done. There were other women in the unit's FRG going through the same thing so we all kind of leaned on each other. It was during the time I was alone that I started thinking I wanted to go back to school, so I contacted the local Central Texas College and worked on getting enrolled. Unfortunately, there was an extremely long waiting list to get into the nursing program I wanted so it put a damper on my plans.
Life went on after my husband got home and it was put on the back burner. Shortly after returning home my husband began having flashbacks, bouts of depression, night terrors and suicidal tendencies. He was withdrawn and less affectionate toward me and our daughter but I thought it was just part of the readjustment. After a few months of these things progressively getting worse his Commanding Officer had him go get checked out and he ended up being admitted to a facility for observation for PTSD and TBI. He was gone for 3 months and, while we had an income, I still knew that I needed to get on the ball about going back to school. When he came home he had been diagnosed with severe PTSD and began the process for med board and transitioning to the Wounded Warrior Unit, he would be given either a medical discharge or be medically retired from the Army until he went through all of the evaluations and appointments we wouldn't know which one. Amongst all of this I found out I was pregnant with our second baby, I had a lot of complications and after my first experience with the hospital on post my doctor decided I either needed to go to Austin for prenatal care or move home to Ohio where I could be seen by a specialist without having to jump through all the hoops. We decided moving home would be the best thing for me at the time and so I, being 20 weeks pregnant, booked a train ticket for my daughter and I and moved back to Ohio.
Everything with his retirement took MUCH longer than we expected, they had estimated he would be out by August 2010 and he wasn't officially retired until December of 2011. I had chose to stay in Ohio to find us a place to live and get everything ready when he came up expecting only a few short months alone, after a year and a half I was beyond over living hand to mouth and supporting two households on one income.
I started working and enrolled in University of Phoenix with a major in healthcare administration. I had family breathing down my neck to "Do something.", I was stuck in a rut, depressed and of course stressed. When I went in to meet with an enrollment advisor I was nervous, were they going to laugh at me? Would I not qualify for financial aide or grants? I met with a man named Larry and told him my situation, what my goals were and asked him all the things that were swirling around in my head. He was extremely helpful and showed me all of the requirements for the program, what I had to do, what the university offered and so much more. He even helped me fill out all of my FAFSA paperwork after I called him completely confused and lost! After a couple weeks I got a call from him saying I had been accepted and all of my financial aid information was taken care of, finished and turned in I could start in a week. I FINALLY felt like things were starting to fall into place.

In Paris, Cracks are Showing in Luxury-Car Market
By Vanessa Fuhrmans and Christoph Rauwald
PARIS—Luxury car makers that planned to celebrate their escape from the global slowdown at the Paris auto show are instead fending off questions about whether troubles in Europe and elsewhere have finally caught up with them.
Europe's top premium auto makers—Germany's BMW AG, Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen AG's Audi—until recently had avoided the plummeting sales and brutal price competition plaguing mass-market car makers such as PSA Peugeot Citroën SA and General Motors Co.'s European unit, Opel/Vauxhall.
In Europe, their more affluent customers have appeared less vulnerable to the shocks of the debt crisis, and outsize profits from China so far have offset weak spots.
But as China's red-hot auto market cools down, even in the upper realm of luxury cars, there is growing worry it will no longer have the strength to make up for a weaker Europe—or to drive the robust profits investors have gotten used to in recent years.
Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche sounded the loudest alarm on Thursday, saying the growing global pressures had to put Mercedes' ambitious 10% profit margin goal for next year under review. "It is obvious the [economic] parameters have not become easier," he said.
Mr. Zetsche said problems in China had played the biggest part in his warning last week that Mercedes would miss its profit target this year. Dueling sales networks in China—one for the car maker's locally produced cars and the other for imported ones—have contributed to Mercedes's lagging sales growth. Year-to-date, Mercedes Chinese sales are up just 6%, compared with double-digit increases for BMW and Audi.
BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes unveiled new models at the Paris Auto Show into the increasingly competitive luxury car segment despite signs that demand might be leveling off. WSJ's Vanessa Fuhrmans reports. Photo: Reuters

Watch: Zoo Streaming Live Video from Baby Giraffe's Barn
By Martha Kang
Remember Seattle's tallest newborn who stole the city's heart on the day he was born?
Now you can watch the giraffe calf all day long.
Woodland Park Zoo has installed a camera inside the giraffe barn where the 6-feet-tall and his mother, Olivia, stay.
The zoo says the best times to tune in are between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. as the pair may wander outdoors during the day.
And you can watch the two snuggle up at night; the camera is equipped with night vision.
Watch previous highlights from the web cam:

Vamps and Tramps (but no Camille Paglia)
In today's episode of "upvoted on the Men's Rights subreddit" we have a fellow calling himself Dude0987, with some interesting thoughts on women — sorry, "females" — and vampires.
Give the link a click. I think you will find the discussion this comment inspired to be very, well, instructive.
Posted on January 15, 2012, in crackpottery, creepy, evil women, false accusations, idiocy, men who should not ever be with women ever, misogyny, MRA, oppressed men, paranoia, reddit. Bookmark the permalink. 46 Comments.
Although this was pretty awesome:
[–]knucker3 2 points 4 days ago*
I assume you are a woman. Let me ask you something.
If it were legal for men to rape you. Would the phrase "Not all men are like that" make any difference to you? Would it make you less cautious around men? Would that be comforting?
[–]Rozeline 0 points 4 days ago*
Well, I know plenty of good men who would never dream of doing that and they've far outnumbered the men I've known who would. You can't let a couple of shitty people decide how you feel about the rest of them. Then they've taken away your ability to form meaningful relationships and friendships with others. I wouldn't let those assholes win and force me into solitude like that.
PS. This is wayyy OT, but I have been lurking pretty much since this blog started–I am wondering where Spearafoc went? I had the biggest online crush on him!
Go Rosaline! ^__^
Haha, the OP's name in that thread is "TebowTebowTebow."
…Also, I thought the "woman stabs man, man calls cops, cops arrest man" thing would link to a news story, but it does not. It links to an anonymous account on mycrazygirlfriend.com.
Anyway, I'm starting to like the "if you ever have sex with a woman, she will false-rape-accuse you" meme. It's giving me a sense of safety and empowerment. If fear of false rape accusations is what holds these guys back from sexually exploiting women, I am all for it.
(MRAs, feel free to take that last sentence out of context and hyperventilate wildly. I have a paper bag if you need one.)
Did you hear that, females? What are you going to do when the poor men who just want penetrate you without trouble learn to get a motel room? Or, better yet, a female-proof house ala that zombie-proof house:
It would be naturally be wired with cameras to catch those evil lying women as they make up/plant evidence, the doors would open automatically for the men but *not* for the women, there would be special ultraviolet lighting to expose their hideous ugliness underneath their lying makeup, and a paucity – dare I say a complete *lack* – of feminine hygiene products. I mean, ew, right? Only freakish inhuman things bleed when they aren't wounded.
(all /sarc and satire, obviously)
But what about the men who /like/ being bitten by women?
I saw the header for this post and instantly had "Gypsies, tramps and thieves (Cher)" in my head.
Speaking of Tebow, Campus Food just sent me an email entitled "What Would Tebow Order." I…I can't even formulate a response to that.
I couldn't resist making a mad lib from the thing David quoted (and cleaning up the ellipsis barf while I was at it.)
That's right, if you have a NOUN you are lower than a/n ANIMAL the U.S. Get used to it guys.
And stop VERB-ING yourselves. NOUN is irrelevant, it's her word against NOUN; that's all that matters. If you let a SUPERNATURAL BEING into your house, don't get angry if they VERB you, same goes for females. Time to learn to get a PLACE. And there is no NOUN to tell them your real NOUN or where you VERB or VERB.
Remind me again why these guys think sex is better than masturbation?
Your hand will never "false"-rape-accuse you, you don't need to hide your real name from your hand, and let's face it, sex with your hand is more sensual and pleasurable than a furtive grunt in a motel room with someone you don't know and don't like.
Clearly, Holly, it's their god-given right to fuck our shit up, and they need that. How are they supposed to fuck their hands' shit up?
I may be a genderqueer and not a woman, but I've never bitten a man who didn't explicitly ask for it/consent to it…
Your hand will never "false"-rape-accuse you, you don't need to hide your real name from your hand, and let's face it, sex with your hand is more sensual and pleasurable than a furtive grunt in a motel room with someone you don't know and don't like.
Every time I read (or, more often, am told) about one of those squalid and pathetic encounters that PUAs have some bizarre compulsion to write up as though they were worth boasting about, I can't help but be reminded of John Lydon's description of sex as "two minutes of squelching noises".
Yes, I'm sensing a bit of poetic license here.
So if the male equivalent of a woman being raped is…whatever their pet peeve of the instant is…then what's the female equivalent of a man being raped?
Once this guy wouldn't invite me into his house but I went in anyway, and then I stood there kinda shaking, and blood started pouring out of my head until he finally said I could come into his house. Then I bit him, so yeah. Dude0987 knows what he's talking about.
I'm glad I found this blog.
Glad and disturbed.
Dude0987: "And I was that man!!!"
Is that why he's 0987? Is he just another nameless, faceless man sacrificed to your insatiable bite-lust?!
Fear not, MRAs! The smell of garlic on your breath should keep womenpires away if you consume enough of the stuff.
So if the male equivalent of a woman being raped is…whatever their pet peeve of the instant is…then what's the female equivalent of a man being raped?
The male equivalent of rape is the fact that lowquacks has lost his blood donor card again. Luckiily, that doesn't happen very often. But every time it's happened, it's been it the victim's own house!
Oh right, all it takes is a woman's word that she was raped to get a man thrown in jail for life.
That's why when that woman accused the NYPD officer of raping her, after he admitted to crawling into her bed when she was completely wasted and somehow bruised her cervix, he was promptly charged with rape and given a lengthy sentence. No one doubted her story or accused her of being a money-greedy whore. Nope.
MRAs live in a fascinating alternate reality.
So, like a vampire, a woman can't enter your house unless you invite her in? That's good to know.
However, if women don't have reflections, how do they spend all their free time looking in the mirror to apply their makeup? Something doesn't add up here.
Also, I'm still here, I've just been finding myself getting caught behind on threads here, at Sadly, No!, Twitter, Tumblr and all the other Internet places I frequent. Stuff gets out of control when I'm away, and it's hard to keep up. I spend most of my free time catching up on what I've missed.
Someone please send me to the alternate reality where a woman's word is enough for a conviction. Please.
Nobody gets angry when I bite them. I always ask first.
When someone refers to women as "females", that's a warning sign that you're dealing with a creep. It makes me think of a scientist collecting specimens: "I've just recently acquired a female stag beetle."
"two whole minutes of squelching noises."
Sounds about how (many) asexuals feel about sex either way. xD

Agreed, Crumb, it's creepy. But with the slight caveat that Farscape managed to pull it off. However, they only managed to pull off using "male" and "female" instead of "man" and "woman" because this was a sci-fi universe populated by multiple sentient species, and it was generally used by someone of a different species referring "that female [of your particular species]" and wasn't meant in a dehumanizing manner. In the real world, not the sci-fi world, referring to "females" is generally a big fat warning sign.
And now I will shut up about a show that's been cancelled for seven years. Except to say that John Crichton was totally the biggest damsel in distress EVER and frequently needed to be rescued by his badass girlfriend. Plus, it's kind of pathetic that I can't think of a more recent show that inverts the usual gender tropes like that. Hollywood fail.
Well, at least they didn't mention zombies. ;p
haha I can confirm that in the forum manboobz.com is know as manboobz prime😄
(I call it that too)
Why thank you.🙂
Eh, Holly, I've had perfectly good pick-up sex with women I barely knew, but what little I knew of them, I liked. I've had perfectly good sex with women who seemed to me to be as outside the mainstream as I am (for reasons of size or disability) but I had more prestigious cultural capital. But I liked them and wanted a good shared experience, big box store or Ivy League be damned. Of course I probably check in for consent and QA more than 99% of PUAs and 50% of humanity.
This is my fault for all the vampire roleplays I used to do with my ex, isn't it? Someone looked in the window and got confused, and (another) paranoid MRA was born?
Sorry about that, everyone. I'll remember to close the curtains from now on.
I'm really convinced they are rapists giving other rapists advice, I mean don't tell them
anything that could trace you most likely when she's just met a strange man?
And yeah if you can't trust someone enough not to frame you why would have sex with them unless you were planning something. Or perhaps they just have framing fantasies (oh that was mean)
Well, yes, if you let VAMPIRE women into your home they're probably going to bite you.
Every time I see the "people who us female are slightly creepy" comment I'm amused.
I use the word, not exclusively, but I us it. It's a habit I picked up in the Army, where we use male/female to make reference to things like who is using what showers when we have to take shifts/deal with different numbers under time pressure.

IN recessionary times it's even more important to support local retailers: that's the message being put forward by Alderman Allan Ewart and Lisburn City Centre Management as the run up to Christmas shopping gets underway.
The positive message comes at a time when local retailers face stiff competition and gloomy forecasts set the rate of closure on the UK High Street at 30 shops per day.
However, with a new Masterplan for Lisburn completed in 2011, and work scheduled to start in 2013 on a new public realm scheme – a £4.3 million investment in the city centre – it is hoped that the works will be a catalyst to improve footfall, encourage investment and improve the city's image to visitors and the local community.
Lisburn is one of the largest cities in Northern Ireland with a strong history of independent retail and some of the bigger well-known names, have weathered the tough times; it's also clear that new businesses are now vying for attention in the City Centre - from high end fashion boutiques, to gourmet delis.
The development of key shopping areas and a night time economy are fundamental to the regeneration of the City Centre and with the Christmas rush about to start, the message this year is shopping made easy and stress free.
Mr Ewart said: "We must support City Centre retailers to engage with their customers while continuing to offer the added value which can be provided by their continued high street presence.
"A vibrant City Centre is important to establishing a positive image of the city as a whole and I believe that with our strong will to succeed and the essential investment will create the vibrant positive forward looking City we all aspire to have."
Patricia Elliot, Lisburn City Centre Management said: "LCCM works hard and imaginatively to continually attract shoppers and visitors into the City Centre through the organising of festival attractions, street animation, campaigning for free car parking initiatives, making the city a welcoming environment through the managing of a ranger service to tackle litter picking and graffiti and adding improvements to the city's streetscape by managing the Bridge Street Townscape Heritage Initiative and championing the Public Realm scheme."
John Steen President of the Lisburn Chamber of Commerce commented "I would encourage all of the community who live in the Lisburn area especially to support the local traders at this time. Lisburn is convenient and offers the opportunity for a good day's shopping for all the family, with the chance to grab some seasonal offerings at one of the many cafes and restaurants across the city.
"We recognise that it's been a difficult year for all, but our local retailers have remained loyal to the community in terms of providing a value for money and convenient local service. So please come along and enjoy the friendly and distinctive Lisburn experience."
The Christmas period begins with the big Christmas switch on, Thursday, November 22, shining light on a more positive and prosperous period for City Centre retailers and shoppers alike."

About the Book
In Will to Live, Les Stroud, host of "Survivorman" and Discovery Channel's "Les Stroud Beyond Survival," examines the greatest true stories of endurance and perseverance. By examining real-life survival tales—like the inspiring story of the soccer team stranded in the Andes and immortalized in the bestselling book Alive by Piers Paul Reid—and his own remarkable experiences in the treacherous wild, Stroud demonstrate how seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome by making use of the four critical elements of survival.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In a survival situation, a wrong decision could spell the difference between life and death.
No one knows this better than Les Stroud, who has survived everywhere from the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon. In Will to Live, Les examines many incredible true life survival stories—explaining what happened and why, and offering valuable perspectives on what went right, what went wrong, and what could have been done differently. The tales in Will to Live include:
Chris McCandless—the subject of the book and movie Into the Wild.Yossi Ghinsberg—who survived alone in the Amazon for twenty-one days.
Douglas Mawson—the Antarctic "superman" who survived three hellish months at the bottom of the planet.
Nando Parrado—who was trapped for two months high in the Andes after a plane crash killed his friends and family.
Plus . . . stories from Les's own experiences, along with practical sidebars with tips on how to escape quicksand, butcher a moose, cross a snow-covered crevasse, and more.
Provocative and entertaining, Will to Live is a compilation of history's most intriguing survival stories from one of the world's foremost experts.

Well, I know of the KS10 8080, which is why I said "real" FEs in one mail.
But I was suddenly uncertain if any other PDP-10s even had FEs, since I've
actually played a bit with both KI and KA CPUs. (Though very little.)
Love those front panels. :-)

This is what I was confusing things with. Since I knew there was PDP-8s
involved somewhere connected to PDP-10s somehow. Communications

Well, until a few years ago, the Stacken computer club was problably the
single location with most PDP-10s anywhere in the world. I've been a bit
out of touch with them lately, so I don't know what the status is now.
But they had several complete, working KLs with DECtapes, as well as KLs
with RX02s, KS, and atleast one KA. I also believe they have (had) a few
KIs. The one KI I did play around a little on though, was privately owned
by a local PDP-10 guru, who did both hardware and software patches to the
machine to get TOPS-10 7.03 running on a tri-SMP KI machine.
The name Peter Lothberg might mean something to some of you...

Project AWARE's online environmental community working together for ocean protection.
Maria Fredriksson
User Profile
I live in Stockholm, Sweden
After spending 4 weeks in Koh Tao August 2011 I discovered that I had a real passion and interest for land- and marine conservation.
On Koh Tao I worked with land conservation, and also ocean clean-ups and coral reef checks. I had a wonderful time where I got to learn a lot about conservation work and the problems facing our environment.
August-October 2012 I spent at Pom Pom Island, Borneo, where I studied for an A-level in Marine Science. The exams are in May so I'm pretty busy studying and working full time.
Hopefully I will get to work in the future with conservation work on both land and sea. After my exam I'm hoping to first learn more about Marine- and Land Conservation, and after that get to work with these things where ever in the world I can find a position.

CLARKSBURG - Four runs in the sixth inning Wednesday helped Notre Dame topple Pendleton County, 6-0, to claim the Class A, Region II title.
"It's unfortunate that the score is no indication at all of the type of game it was," Wildcats coach Sam Yokum said. "We missed a great opportunity in the fourth inning. We had the bases loaded with no outs and we hit into a line-drive double play.
"We also made a few mistakes. We had three errors and base running hurt us. It wasn't that we didn't hit the ball, we did," Yokum added. "We just didn't have the timely hits, and we didn't do some of the things we needed to do."
The Irish capitalized on a four-run rally in the sixth inning to put the game out of reach. Sophomore Jordan Miller connected for an RBI-single, then Anthony Belcastro followed up with a two-run double. The Wildcats also committed three errors in the inning.
Miller pitched a complete game to earn the victory. He gave up seven hits and struck out four batters.
Luke Yokum gave up two runs in three innings to notch the loss. Cody Lambert came on in relief to pitch 2 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on four hits.
Sophomore Tim Hevener paced the Pendleton offense with two hits. Luke Yokum, Jesse Lambert, Cody Lambert, Luke Cooper and Evan Arrington had one hit each.
Pendleton County finished the season with a record of 23-10. Notre Dame moves on to play in the West Virginia State High School Baseball Tournament.

Purity in pre-War Germany: The White Ribbon
It's too bad Michael Haneke films are so hard to watch. His latest anti-blockbuster The White Ribbon, is a superb and daring film, but will be seen by relatively few. Beautiful (shot in crisp black and white) and oblique, The White Ribbon is unflinching in its portrayal of Germany before the First World War.
The film tracks a series of crimes and accidents that beset the small town of Eichwald. The town doctor' suffers a mysterious riding accident, and it's all-downhill from there. Soon the Baron's son is found bound and whipped, someone burns down a barn, and the town's children suddenly appear at the scent of blood like Aryan vultures. Amazingly, Haneke's characters function historically and allegorically, and still his actor's performances are visceral and natural.
That being said, you aren't going to enjoy this movie unless you can handle some slooow pacing and disturbing subject matter. For example, one of the film's best scenes involves a four-year-old becoming aware of death, and then correctly guessing that his mother isn't on vacation. Haneke goes to great lengths to rid his on-screen violence of any entertainment factor, * letting the audience contemplate the underlying cruelty.
Starring Burghart Klaußner (Tatort) and Susanne Lothar (Funny Games), the White Ribbon is that most unexpected of things, an original film about European Fascism.
*Truffaut once said that it is impossible to make a war film that doesn't glorify battle. I agree with the caveat that Haneke probably could if he tried.

Mid-Ohio Valley Medical Group pulls doctors out of hospitals
Will only do outpatient clinical care
July 31, 2013
VIENNA — The Mid-Ohio Valley Medical Group has announced its doctors will no longer do rounds and other services for its patients at local hospitals....
Dumbest idea ever. Strange my comments were taken off here. I might as well go to Columbus, Morgantown or some good hospital if I can't see the Dr. that has treated me for 30 yrs. At least you would have quality Drs.Let's see if this will stay on here.

The article is misleading! Do you really believe that your doctor will spend more time on hi/her patient? That is not going to happen. The only change in the system will be that the doctor will be required to see more patients. The patient gains nothing. The company employing the doctors gain everything. Follow the money.

While I really don't understand the difference between hospitalist or private doctor issue, I do know that their will be big changes to the medical field to compensate for Obama care. If you don't think they will change and cut corners to stay in business your crazy. Besides that, people don't just become doctors and nurses for the free hand out. It is a pretty lucrative job.

Hospitalists are good idea so patients can see a doctor virtually anytime day or night. The only bad thing is that some, certainly not all, leave a lot to be desired as far as quality care goes.

I was in CCMH in 2011 for several days. I saw hospitalists then. I had one neurologist and one surgeon that came in to see me, and my family doctor didn't see me at all.
I was treated very well, and the hospitalists were very professional.
I have no problem with hospitalists--they are, after all, medical doctors, professionals, who use a combined effort to make the patient better.

About time. I never liked how your family doctor had so much control over your hospital stay. Everything has to be approved by them. You have to wait for their ok to get anything started or changed. Then, when you're ready to go home, you have to wait until the doctor makes rounds to get the ok, which may be hours or longer. I'm not blaming the doctor, as I'm sure they are under great pressure to do what they do. I would think that the doctors are relieved that they no longer have to be at the hospital all hours.

@dottie_cornell...How could this be due to Obama, when you just stated that in Florida where you lived for "35 years" they do this and in 1992 (years and years before Obama was elected) you were surprised it wasn't that way here. That just makes no sense.

This is not a surprise and it is common practice in Florida where I lived for 35 years. I was amazed when I moved here in 1992 and found that my family dr would be the one treating me at the hospital. The hospitalists are very well trained and informed physicians and I for one have no problem using them. And even though it is stated there are several reason I am sure the real reason is Obamacare.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to blame this on Obama...I wonder whose fault it was that this kind of thing was happening before he was president.

This started way before Obamacare. My previous doctor started employing "hospitalists" about 10 years ago. This is just another way for doctors to do less work and earn more money. It's all about the money, like always.

I am writing to you in complete disgust with your company and the service that I have NOT received. I Received a phone call stated I was pre-approved for 5000 with a 675.00 deposit which I submitted via Western Union to a Tacara Rice in Boston MA on Friday. I explained to myrepresentative Darlene Reed that this was all the money I had and that my family was in serious financial trouble due to building legal/medical fees and that I was at the end of my rope. She assured me I would have the 5000 loan in my account with 6-8 hours.
On Saturday I still had not yet received it and I called/emailed countless times and when I was able to speak with Darlene she stated I needed to give another 600.00 to get funds released. I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY my account is overdrawn. She then said that they could refund my money but it would not be until 11/20 again took every last penny I had to give your company the deposit in anticipation of having the funds back that same day. I now have my electric company shutting off my power on Monday with a 2y/o and 5 y/o daughter both with severe asthma and in need of nebulizer treatments and electric heat in 40-50degree weather.
I have no money for grocery shopping to put food on the table for them for the next 2 weeks. When I got upset and told her that I have nothing and no options left because your company lied to me and in my eyes fraud me out of all of my money she hung up yet again.My fianc attempted to call and see what was going and was told she was not working today and if he didnt believe it drive there and hung up on. I am sincerely desperate and your company took advantage of the situation I do not have a shopping problem that led to my financial distress its because I almost died during child birth and my then husband walked away after foreclosing on the house and giving back the cars.
I am telling you the same thing I told Darlene via voicemail as well as the voicemail of customer service I will call/email every 10 minutes until I get my money back or the money that was promised to me and that I signed legal documents for. And in the mean time I will tell everyone I can about your shady practices until you no longer have a company. I beg of you to call your local police for harassment so that I have valid contact information to file charges for fraud and deceptive practices against each and every one of you listed on the loan documentation.

EAGLE — Seventy-five years ago, the only gated communities in Eagle County were ranches.
The Eagle County Fair & Rodeo is 75 years old this week.
It was Sept. 16, 1939, when local leaders held the first ever "Eagle County Fair and Fall Festival."
Many of the valley's residents old enough to remember it were together for lunch Thursday, and oh my, did they have some stories.
Things were different 75 years ago, but people are pretty much the same.
Cowboys now — and then — are more polite, "gentlemanly," than city men, says Jennifer Bearden, who lived in major cities most of her life before settling in Eagle County with a cowboy.
Electricity didn't show up in McCoy until 1952. Before that they used generators or lamps. Refrigeration was blocks of ice pulled from the river and stored. Running water was for rich people.
"Running water was when the kids were sent running to the spring to fetch it," Jake Stull said.
Local rancher Vern Albertson won a catch-the-calf contest. Chester Mayer donated the heifer calf that Vern caught. The calf grew into a cow and had a calf. Vern showed that cow and calf at the next year's fair and did quite well. And that, more or less, was one of the ways Vern got his start in the cattle business.
For Jac Laman's first fair, he walked across the irrigation pipe that spans the Eagle River because he didn't have any money to buy a ticket. He was 8 years old.
Harvey Ickes was the mayor of Fulford, because he earned it and because he was one of the only people who lived up there year-round. Harvey was not involved in the Great Fulford Shootout. No one there Thursday could remember what the shooting was about, but they're pretty sure no one got shot. The desperados were apprehended.
Anyway, Harvey ran the meadow muffin throwing contest before the annual rodeo. If he liked you, he might slip you a tennis ball to throw instead of a small ball of equine byproduct.
Jack Phillips and a cast of several helped build the original grandstand. Years later when Johnnette Phillips was a county commissioner, she strong armed fellow commissioner Bud Gates into agreeing to build the new concrete grandstand. Bud saw to it that the arena was named for Johnnette, the name it carries to this day.
Nettie Reynolds' grandparents came over in the 1800s from Nevadaville to homestead. He was a cowboy some of the time and was a foreman overseeing the prisoners building the highway through Glenwood Canyon — that would be the two-lane highway. She and her friends used to cook and create all kinds of crafts and enter them in the fair.
That first fair
Hundreds of people came from every corner of the county to compete in the various contests and browse exhibits by local ranchers and 4-Hers. More than 1,200 people ate the "bountiful free lunch" served up by Moulton Chambers.
The day also featured a football game between the Minturn and Eagle high school teams (Eagle won, 27–0), concerts by the Eagle County High School band (resplendent in purple and gold uniforms), a free picture show at the local movie theater and an evening dance.
Livestock judge Red Allen, sent to the fair from the Extension Service of Colorado A&M College (now Colorado State University), offered high praise, declaring the animals to be of "stock show quality." The local potatoes were the highlight of the crops competition. Brush Creek rancher John Clark's Red McClure spuds earned top prize.
The newspaper, The Eagle Valley Enterprise, is now one of Eagle County's oldest continuing businesses. On Sept. 22, 1939, just days after the inaugural event, it gushed about the fair.
"We hope to see this fair (become) an annual event, it being an incentive for old and young to do our work well and compete with our sister counties," it said.
Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or email@example.com. Kathy Heicher is a local writer, historian and the author of several books on Eagle County history.
Pride and Purple Ribbons:
75 Years of the Eagle County Fair
Seventy-five years ago, the only gated communities in Eagle County were ranches.
Agriculture drove the local economy. Farmers and ranchers worked hard year-around to raise crops and livestock and they were proud of the results. In 1939, community leaders decided to celebrate with the first –ever "Eagle County Fair and Fall Festival."
The first Fair: September 16, 1939
The big event commenced on an early fall Saturday with exhibits on the grounds of the Eagle School (current location of the County Administration Building) and livestock events staged west of the courthouse.
Hundreds of people came from every corner of the county to compete in the various contests and browse exhibits by local ranchers and 4-H'ers. Over 1,200 people ate the "bountiful free lunch" served up by Moulton Chambers. The day also featured a football game between the Minturn and Eagle High School teams (Eagle won, 27 – 0), concerts by the Eagle County High School band (resplendent in purple and gold uniforms), a free picture show at the local movie theater and an evening dance.

September 22, 1939
1940s: Waiting on the war
Despite the smashing success of that first County Fair, it was nearly a decade before a celebration of that scale happened again. Blame Adolph Hitler and the turmoil of World War II. Men were called away to the service. Ranchers scrambled to find workers. Product shortages made ranching a challenge.
In 1940, a much smaller event — a 4-H Exhibit Day, was staged on the Eagle school grounds in August.
County Fair essentially went on hiatus during the war years. In 1947, the momentum picked up again. By the end of the decade, the temporary "Exhibit Hall" (the Eagle school gym) was crowded. Community leaders were discussing the need for a permanent fairgrounds space.
1950s: New home for the Fair
The 1950s presented challenges. The County Fair was growing, particularly with the addition of commercial booths selling farm implements and home appliances. The polio outbreak in 1951 stifled attendance. Still, what was now being called the "Junior Fair" drew 202 entries. In 1952, the Fair moved to the Eagle County High School grounds in Gypsum — the only time the event was staged away from the county seat.
In 1953 rancher Chet Mayer volunteered the use of more than an acre of land on the south edge of Eagle (approximately between what is now Sixth and Seventh streets west of McIntyre Street). Volunteers built a fence and piped water to the site.
Exhibit hall and livestock sheds were constructed the following year. Under the leadership of County Agent Sam Kuntz, the Fair once again became a two-day event. The 4-H kids brought their sleeping bags and stayed in town for the duration, tending their livestock and competing in contests during the day, and roaming the streets of Eagle at night.
1960s: The Move across the river
The summer of 1960 found Fair organizers scrambling. The Mayer Ranch sold to a corporation and the designated fairgrounds on the south edge of Eagle were no longer available.
The Eagle County commissioners stepped up and purchased a 15-acre chunk of land on the north bank of the Eagle River from dairy farmer Ross Chambers.
Led by County Agent Kuntz and his able secretary Eileen Randall, a squadron of local volunteers moved the livestock barn to the new site. The Eagle Valley Roping Club built a rodeo arena. The livestock could be accommodated; but home economics exhibits remained on the south side of the river at the school gym.
Determined to stage the entire Fair in a central location, in 1965 Kuntz and his volunteers built an all steel, 100 by 50 foot exhibit hall at the new fairgrounds. The building still stands on the east end of the Fairgrounds complex. Grandstands were constructed at the rodeo arena. The Colorado Amateur Cowboy Association staged a rodeo offering a $150 purse. Another day of events was added to the County Fair weekend.
Kuntz also introduced the Fat Stock Sale, at which 4-H'ers could sell their prize-winning animals to the local community, recouping their expenses and perhaps earning enough money to get started on a new animal project for the next year. This was the beginning of a still-ongoing partnership between the local business community and the 4-H kids.
1970s: Volunteers and versatility
By the 1970s, the County Fair was well established at its current location. County Agent Bill Coffey was the official leader of the Fair; but the volunteers made it happen.
Initially, the rodeo "concessions" stand consisted of a group of card tables from which workers sold sandwiches, cakes and pies donated by 4-H mothers. A solid wood concessions stand appeared in the early 1970s, courtesy of local builder Denny Eaton. Eagle County Fair Association volunteers put in countless hours flipping burgers and roasting hot dogs.
Some long-time Fair traditions, such as the Catch-It contest, in which fleet-footed 4-Hers could literally catch their project animal for the following year, remained popular. Friday night concerts were added to the program, with bands brought in from Denver. The ranch kids and town kids looked forward to a few
1980s: Small town Fair becomes big event
For its first 50 years, the County Fair was staged by Colorado State University extension staff and dedicated local volunteers. In 1987, the Eagle County Commissioners hired an events manager, Rick Beveridge, to develop the Fair into a true, countywide event that would draw not only ranching families, but also visitors from the growing Vail, Avon and El Jebel communities.
Big name entertainment was brought in, including the Cajun fiddler Doug Kershaw and up-and-coming Country-Western singer Chris Ledoux.
The popular "Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed" event was introduced, providing a funding source for the Fair. And in 1989, the county brought in its first professional rodeo, a mid-size competition for the Mountain States Circuit Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association. Locals could participate in rodeo events such as the "Wild Cow Milking" competition.
Anticipating future growth, the county purchased an additional 145 acres of the Chambers ranch.
1990s – present
Growing popularity prompted even more improvements as the Fair grew into a multi-day event. In 1993, the county constructed a new livestock barn east of the rodeo arena, and the old red barn was torn down. In 1999, the old wooden rodeo grandstands were torn down, and new steel grandstands with a covered roof and seating for 2,650 people were built. The fancy covered grandstands immediately proved its worth when one rodeo performance coincided with a heavy rainstorm. The spectators remained both comfortable and dry. The PRCA rodeo draws crowds to fill those stands for several nights during the Fair.
The county built the Eagle River Center, where the 4-H livestock competition and open class exhibits are now staged.
Seventy-five years have brought many changes to the Eagle County Fair, but one thing is consistent: This is still the best opportunity in the county to get out the cowboy hat and boots, join friends and neighbors and celebrate our western heritage.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team took part in the annual Play 4Kay game for breast cancer awareness Wednesday night against Texas State. The subject was of particular interest for Islanders Athletics, as one of the department's senior staffers, Jennifer Baker, has been battling the disease over the last two years.
Here is Jennifer's story:
Three dollars of every single game ticket sold to the game was donated to benefit breast cancer awareness and patient care. The Islanders sported pink jerseys and fans wore pink to the game to show their support.
Play 4Kay, formerly known as the WBCA Pink Zone, has women's basketball teams throughout the country wear pink jerseys and help raise awareness for breast cancer research. The event was renamed in honor of KayYow, the Hall of Fame coach who passed away in 2009 after three battles with breast cancer.

'Weakest Earnings Cycle in 55 Years' – LPL's Kleintop
Once you get buried in the heart of earnings season, it's very hard to see the big picture.
The big picture, though, isn't something investors may want to see right about now. "This has been the weakest earnings cycle in 55 years," Jeffrey Kleintop, LPL Financial's chief market strategist, wrote in a note to clients. During typical cycles, earnings are 50-70% from the prior peak at this point. The current cycle, though, has seen only a 20% rise.
Earnings growth since the last peak in 2007, he wrote, has been averaging less than 3%. Yes, that included the worst recession in 80 years. But it also included a massive surge in profit growth. Average those out, and you get meager growth. But even if you exclude those events, looking at growth just over the past two years is sobering. Here's the quarterly growth rate for the S&P 500 over the past two years:
That's an average 5% quarterly growth rate the past two years. Going back to 1959, the average growth rate over the course of an earnings cycle has been about 7.3% annualized, Mr. Kleintop said. That's measured either by peak to peak, or trough to trough. The best growth rate was 9.1% and the worst 5.6%. "This is notable given the differing levels of inflation, interest rates, and economic growth," he noted.
"However, the current cycle – while not yet over – has been much weaker than the average, generating only a 2.8% annualized growth rate from the prior cycle peak in the second quarter of 2007 through the first quarter of 2014."
What's interesting about the data, to us at least, is that the best cycle started in 1959 and ended in 1969, and the worst started in 1969 and ended in 1974. Since then, every cycle has been within 0.2% of that 7.3% average, until this cycle.
Mr. Kleintop gets a lot of grief for being bearish, but the numbers remind MoneyBeat of something that John Hussman from Hussman Funds has been saying over and over in his weekly market commentary: Earnings growth is far weaker than most people suspect. Hussman measures earnings over the course of a cycle, and has been saying that S&P 500 earnings growth for this cycle is likely to come in somewhere in the 2% range – exactly what Kleintop's numbers are showing.
It's going to get worse with the current batch of reports. Growth is expected to have contracted, not expanded, by 1.7% in the first quarter, according to FactSet. Barring an asteroid strike, it will rebound from there, at least partially because consumers are out and spending. This proverbial pent-up demand was visible in yesterday's retail sales numbers for March.
"Rather than counting how many companies cite weather as a factor, or 'excuse,' in their earnings discussions," Mr. Kleintop wrote, "the market may be watching closely for how many businesses cite an improving trend emerging toward the end of the first quarter as weather began to normalize."
Investors better hope that trend is a strong one. "Earnings growth needs to improve to support valuations and drive the U.S. stock market higher," said Mr. Kleintop, who does expects growth to rebound from the current trough. Regardless, investors these past seven years have been paying for weak earnings growth. Either prices will to come down significantly, or growth will have to ramp up significantly to alter that math.
"For any given set of expected future cash flows, a higher price implies a lower future investment return, and vice versa," Mr. Hussman wrote this week.

It makes all the difference in the world and when they tell you ice is your friend you want something like this to deliver that cold to the area. Couldn't have done without it. So much easier than trying to use gel packs or other types of ice packs. Glad to know that it will be there when I get my other knee done.

Hi Barbara
Thanks for sharing your Breg story with us. We wish you a speedy recovery!
Great machine, but...
My mother recently had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and was given the Polar Care Cube after surgery to relieve swelling. The unit is quiet, effective in delivering cold therapy quickly, and really helping her. There is one downside however, it is impossible for her to connect the machine with the coupling mechanism designed as it is. She cannot exert enough force with her non-dominant hand to engage the coupling mechanism. Wither her arthritis, she also cannot depress the locking mechanism sufficiently enough to disengage the coupling mechanism when it is time to turn the Cube off. I had to help her connect/disconnect the tubing. I found it difficult and I have no physical limitations (the disconnecting was easier).
Is there a model that offers the same benefits of this model, but has an easier to operate coupling connection? Since her recovery will span several months, I would like her to be able to connect the machine on her own, since she will need to use it when no one is around to help her.
Thank you

Hi NR
Thank you for your post and your feedback. We have recently made changes to the product to reduce the force required to make the connection. Please contact our Customer Care Center at 800.321.0607 so we can provide you with some options that will help, and a replacement unit if needed.
Polar Cube for Shoulder Arthroscopy
I had extensive work done on my shoulder arthroscopically and the surgeon strongly recommended this unit. I used it as instructed and it made a tremendous difference. I can't say enough about this unit...it's reliable, easy to use, quiet, portable, and very well-made. I've used it intermittantly since after rehab sessions and the unit was equally effective at relieving irritation and soreness. I consider it a must-have for this type of surgery.
Customer service is great. The straps were a little small for me and the Berg rep literally came to my office a couple of days before surgery to deliver longer straps...just outstanding!

Ice question
Hi! I just purchased my Polar Cube for my post op ACL surgery. I am wondering how often I need to change the ice since its an electrical refrigerated unit. My ice seems to last around 4-5 hours but not more. Is that typical? I can't seem to find any information online or in my instructions. Otherwise, the unit is staying cold & working well. Thanks!

Hi Beth
Thanks for your question. You can obtain directions for your Polar Cube here http://www.breg.com/sites/default/files/downloads/pdfs/Cube-Instruction-Pad-1_96015B.pdf. Your ice should last longer than 4-5 hours. We are happy to help you troubleshoot a variety of things that could affect how long the unit is working. Please call our Customer Care Center at 800.321.0607
Great Product , highly recommend ..
I injured my Left wrist at work and have had 5 surgery's to date , on the 1st two , I did not have a polar cube , well different Dr. for #3-5 and have used the polar pack with great results , reduces swelling and pain which allows for taking less pain meds and quicker recovery times .
I'm very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this to anyone for post op care ..
I would like to have a 12v car adapter as well , I live 1:30 min from Dr. and it would be great to use to and from appointments .
