Making Sense of the Dr. Kroll "Controversy"
By Chris Larsen
One of many promises made by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker during his 2010 campaign was to hire an outsider to look at the state's coveted deer herd. Nearly a decade of management intended to reduce the deer herd had done the job. Hunters were not seeing the deer they were used to seeing and wanted the problem fixed. How can we get youth involved in deer hunting if we don't ever see any deer? The idea of a state deer trustee was generally lauded. According to most deer hunters, the DNR had been messing things up for years. We needed change.
Almost immediately after taking the job, Walker went on the offensive against state labor unions. The actions set off a whirlwind of protests and political battles. Deer management issues weren't making any headlines. Still, the plan to appoint a whitetail deer trustee was still on track. As the leaves began to fall in 2011, Walker announced the hiring of Dr. James Kroll. Kroll, also known as Dr. Deer, was soon dubbed the deer "czar" by those not happy with the hire. Czar sounds far more menacing than trustee.
Critics were concerned with Kroll's connection to the deer farm industry. He is a professor at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas but also does work as a consultant and outdoor television host. Dr. Kroll definitely has his hands in several aspects of the deer management business. But with 30 years of work in the field, it is hard to deny his expertise. Despite Kroll's experience, he didn't take on this immense consulting job himself. Drs. David Guynn and Gary Alt are also part of the project. Both men have worked in wildlife management at the state level for decades.
Other critics didn't care who Kroll was. In a year that state budgets and jobs were on everyone's mind, why was the state hiring an outsider to do this study? Why can't we just hire someone from Wisconsin? Even worse, the price tag was $125,000. The fury reserved for the fight over collective bargaining began to creep into deer management issues. But the archery season was already underway and the gun season was right around the corner. Besides, some oversight might be a good thing.
The season came and went . Governor Walker's opponents successfully delivered the petition signatures needed to force a recall election this summer. Things were looking up for them. Walker's days in office appeared to be numbered. Kathleen Falk, Kathleen Vinehout, and a handful of other candidates toured the state in an attempt to gain favor among those desiring to oust the Governor. But the group wasn't polling particularly well and Democrats worked to convince Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to enter the race. Barrett lost convincingly to Walker in 2010. But he seemed to have the best shot at sending Walker out of office.
Away from the election news, Dr. Kroll and his team presented their interim report. Deer hunters rejoiced. Finally, someone laid down the law on the DNR. Dr. Kroll questioned the Sex-Age-Kill(SAK) method of counting deer. Most Wisconsin deer hunters weren't buying the DNR deer population counts. SAK's shortcomings were no surprise to them. Other common criticisms confirmed by the report were an abundance of predators, baiting, and Earn-A-Buck regulations. Dr. Kroll travelled throughout the state in April to take questions about the study. Most comments were positive. Finally, someone was giving hunters a voice with the DNR.
But Kroll was not without his critics. Dan Schmidt of Deer & Deer Hunting is a Wisconsin resident whose passion for Wisconsin deer hunting can't be questioned. Schmidt has been an outspoken critic of Kroll's work as Wisconsin's Deer Trustee. Kroll lives in the land of high fences and has a high fence hunting area of his own. While high fences are the norm in Texas and other places across the South, whitetail farms are taboo in Wisconsin, especially after the discovery of chronic wasting disease in our state.
Schmidt had some other issues with the report as well. But another portion of Schmidt's blog has become a political firestorm. The blog referred to an article written back in 2002 in the magazine Texas Monthly. In the article, three lines have become highly controversial.
The article was written in 2002 but hasn't become part of the news cycle until now. These three lines have become a rally cry among Governor Walker's opponents. Yet, they are an afterthought in the article. Kroll isn't even introduced until the final paragraphs of the piece. The author isn't a deer hunter and while he obviously thought the quotes were worthy of adding to the article, they weren't headlines. The idea of hunting whitetails exclusively on private land was normal for readers of Texas Monthly. Only 3% of the state is publicly owned. Kroll recently addressed these quotes. To say the least, he's disappointed.
Wisconsin based freelance writer Patrick Durkin recently interviewed Kroll for an article in the Wisconsin State Journal. In the story, Kroll says Wisconsin and Texas are two different situations. What works in one place doesn't fit in another. "I'm not bringing high fences and Texas deer management to Wisconsin, but Texas will never offer public hunting for all either," said Kroll.
But aren't these lines proof that Kroll is just part of a sinister plan to sell off DNR lands? 17% of Wisconsin is publicly owned and much of that land is open to hunters. We surely don't want to lose that property. What if Walker, Kroll, and their "cronies" decide to sell state property? That scenario makes for interesting commercials. But the fact is they can't. The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board(NRB) dictates land acquisitions. Four of the seven members of the NRB were appointed by former Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, a Democrat. What those commercials won't tell you is Wisconsin is about to make the biggest recreational land purchase in state history, a 67,000+ acre tract in Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, and Washburn counties.
What about Wisconsin's own biologists? Kroll's critics will tell you Wisconsin's biologists could do the job for less money. The state did their own audit back in 2000… for the modest price tag of $1,000,000. In other words, they took Kroll's contract and added a zero. The sad thing is many of the recommendations from that study went ignored. This could be partly because of a change in administration, partly because of chronic wasting disease.
I have interviewed several DNR biologists and officials and believe they are more than capable of conducting sound research on whitetail deer. But how credible would a DNR deer management study conducted on themselves be? The same people constantly calling for government transparency apparently think that is a good idea.
If you disagree with Governor Walker's stance on collective bargaining for state workers, by all means cast your ballot for Mayor Barrett. But the over-the-top conspiracy theories about privatizing the state's deer herd are just that, over-the-top conspiracy theories. Well over 600,000 Wisconsinites hunt deer. With Barrett polling six to eight points behind Walker, scaring some of those deer hunters into voting for him may be his only shot at winning. It's the classic October surprise. But in this era of accelerated election cycles, October comes early in 2012.
UPDATE(6/1/2012): The facebook page "Save Wisconsin Hunting" is actually a front for the website "The Daily Kos". This left wing website is based out of Berkeley, California. My question to Wisconsin's deer hunters is this: If you believe a whitetail biologist with over 30 years of work in the field is out to destroy hunting in Wisconsin, what do you think far left website editors in Berkeley, California want to do?

The compiler of this work has abstracted and systematized all the material of pathologic interest from the larger books on obstetrics. As a result, a bulky and verbose volume of possibly 1,300 pages assumes its actual importance as a book of 200 pages, 7 by 4 inches. Since the writer disclaims any originality in the composition, it is difficult to apportion the blame for various statements that are open to question. It must be, however, that the writer is himself responsible for the advertisements of several drug houses and proprietary remedies, as well as for the recommendations of specific instruments for standardized operations. For example, the book advocates a certain brand of forceps for packing the uterus, when this simple procedure is easily and competently accomplished with ordinary dressing forceps. If any initiative had been possible, it would seem that the compiler would hesitate to promulgate as a law that

Until midway through his last match up — a 10-round majority decision over Alfonso Lopez in May — Kelly Pavlik had appeared to be fighting like a ghost of his former self.
That assertion came from the former middleweight champ's career-long trainer, Jack Loew, who longed to see the Pavlik who scored consecutive seventh-round stoppages over hard-punching Edison Miranda and Jermaine Taylor, respectively, in May and September of 2007.
What Loew saw instead was a fighter who still was adjusting to life after being dethroned by Sergio Martinez dethroned 13 months earlier.
"What I saw that night is that we had a whole lot more timing and rust to knock off than I thought," said Loew of a man whose ring nickname is, in fact, 'The Ghost.' "I thought that the ninth and 10th rounds showed that the old Kelly Pavlik is still in there somewhere. We just have to bring that out."
That's what Loew is hoping for on Aug. 6, when the 29-year-old veteran (36-2, 32 knockouts) meets southpaw Darryl Cunningham (23-2, 10 KOs), of Detroit, at the Covelli Center in Pavlik's native Youngstown, Ohio.
The bout marks Pavlik's fourth appearance in his hometown, where he has stopped all three previous opponents, and his first there since earning a fifth-round knockout of Miguel Espino in December of 2009.
It will also mark Pavlik's second appearance at super middleweight. And from his training observations, Loew is encouraged by Pavlik's improvement since having vanquished Lopez (21-1, 16 KOs).
"Kelly is definitely a whole lot sharper than he was against Alfonso. What I wanted to see in training was whether or not we could pick up from that point on or whether or not we would have to work some more rust off," said Loew.
"Even before we started sparring, just with the hand pad work, I think that with this camp, that the rust is definitely gone. I saw a whole lot more of the old Kelly back. That's what I needed to see. We needed to pick up from the ninth and 10th round on and not struggle like we did in the early rounds."
In rising to super middleweight, Pavlik is chasing a November bout with Canada-based IBF beltholder Lucian Bute (28-0, 23 KOs).
To this day, Loew believes that Pavlik's middleweight title loss is as much a result of extreme weight loss as it was Martinez's skills.
"I feel that wholeheartedly the weight is what cost us in the Martinez fight. We're not going to have to kill ourselves to make weight and you're going to see a fresh Kelly Pavlik in there," said Loew.
"Weight is not going to be an issue. The weight is fine. Kelly's in the low 170s right now. We won't have to struggle like we did against Sergio Martinez for this fight."
And if Loew has his way, Cunningham won't have a ghost of a chance.
"Against Cunningham, I told him that you have to beat this kid like we beat Miranda. We have to go balls to the wall and push him backward and we have to force our will on him and we have to back this kid up and fight him," said Loew.
"Before the Bute fight, it's got to be like the Taylor fight. It has to be. That's the way that we're planning on doing it. We're going to go a week or two off before the Bute fight and then we'll be right back in camp. But if we don't train and fight the way that we did for Edison Miranda and Jermaine Taylor, then we're not going to beat Bute."

Going to the doctor for immunization shots may often appear last on our to-do lists, but it is time
to make them a priority. Measles, mumps, and polio are diseases many of us consider to be
ancient history, so what is the need for a vaccine? Vaccines help keep these illnesses away from
our communities. By not getting immunized, these dangerous diseases can appear again quickly
and spread fast.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 200 cases of
whooping cough, a severe respiratory illness most dangerous to babies, have already been
reported this year in Michigan. 2013 has also seen the presence of measles in our state. These
diseases, and many others, can easily be prevented through immunizations.

RV Window AwningsWhile there are several companies that specialize in making awnings large enough for the side of your RV, only a few are set up to create window awnings as well. A large awning is great if your goal is to create an outdoor room. On the other hand, small window awnings create more of a home-like feel.
These smaller awnings help shade the windows on the other side of your RV. This not only creates a bit of privacy, it helps reduce the heat generated indoors. Less sunlight entering your RV will also protect your furnishings and carpeting from sun damage.
With many fabrics to choose from, you can have your window awnings designed to match your RV seamlessly.

Kolo Toure.
After enduring a frustrating time at Manchester City last season it was easy to write off the man from the Ivory Coast as past it at the top level of football. Added to this was Toure's drugs rap for taking a banned substance aimed at aiding weight loss. His days at the top seemed to be over.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have started the new season magnificently. Three solid wins have seen them occupying the place where they feel they belong – number one in the Premier League table. No one should be taking the plaudits for these solid performances more than Kolo Toure. It isn't really shocking that hardcore Liverpool fans have taken to him like a duck to water.
What is shocking however, is this outrageous fail from one of their fans. It's one of those scenarios when you're not sure whether to laugh or cry. How this Reds fan managed to say or spell the word 'Toure' as 'Touro' is mind-boggling. His excuse was intoxication, but sorry, it takes a level of stupidity rather than drunkenness to misspell a simple name like that!

#Seawolves fall short in season opener at CCSU 1-0
Aug. 29, 2014
New Britain, Conn. - The Stony Brook men's soccer team gave a spirited effort in its season opener at Central Connecticut but couldn't find the back of the net in a 1-0 loss. Despite the loss, there were many positives to take away for head coach Ryan Anatol. Stony Brook dominated possession and had the more dangerous chances in the second half.
Anatol's Reaction
" I thought it was a good, competitive soccer game." commented Anatol. "We had the better of the possession and forced them to become very direct. Even though we created chances, we still need to become more dangerous in the final third."
Goal Recap
The only goal of the game came in the 53rd minute when Freddy Metellus beat redshirt freshman Tom McMahon (Nassau Bay, Texas) with a low shot.
After falling behind 1-0 Stony Brook had three golden chances to tie the match.
Next Up
#The Seawolves have an opportunity to surprise the country when they head to Storrs, Conn. on Monday, Sep. 1 to face the no. 8 Connecticut Huskies. The game is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

MORGANTOWN - The vast majority of West Virginia University's 12 victories in 27 postseason football games fell under the heading of "upset."
This undoubtedly is the main reason that most of those unexpected bowl triumphs rank among the school's all-time greatest wins. The victims were favored and, in some cases, ranked among the nation's elite.
But it was in the 2008 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl last Jan. 2 in Glendale, Ariz., that West Virginia shocked the nation with its greatest upset in school history.
That was the memorable 48-28 victory over No. 3-ranked Oklahoma. And most football folks thought the Sooners were really the country's finest team at that time.
It has to rank No. 1 among all WVU wins - period -regular season as well as postseason.
Patrick White led the charge against heavily favored Oklahoma and was voted the bowl's offensive MVP.
The junior quarterback rushed for 150 yards and added 176 yards passing. Big plays highlighted the stunning attack.
Those included fullback Owen Schmitt's 57-yard run for the first touchdown, White 79-yard scoring shot to Tito Gonzales, and touchdown runs of 17 and 65 yards by freshman tailback Noel Devine.
WVU finished with 349 yards rushing, including 108 by Devine filling in for injured Steve Slaton. The Mountaineers wound up with 525 yards in total offense while Oklahoma had 419.
Linebacker Reed Williams won the defensive MVP award with nine tackles, two for lost yardage, and a forced fumble.
It was WVU's third consecutive bowl triumph and second BCS win in three years. What's more, the team earned No. 6 final ranking in the major polls.
That victory had to be even greater than the one two years earlier in the Nokia Sugar Bowl at Atlanta on Jan. 2, 2006. No. 11 West Virginia shocked No. 8 Georgia, 38-35, before 74,458 fans in the Georgia Dome.
It was one of the biggest surprises of that bowl season. The game was moved from New Orleans because of devastation from Hurricane Katrina.
Commissioner Mike Tranghese said that was the biggest boost the Big East got after the ACC raided its ranks.
I considered that thrilling triumph as No. 1 among all of WVU's bowl victories until last year's over Oklahoma. It came in only the third 11-win season in school history and put the Mountaineers fifth in the final Associated Press poll.
Slaton, then a freshman, ran for a Sugar Bowl record of 204 yards and three scores and was voted the game's MVP.
WVU raced to a 28-0 lead in just over one quarter. But Georgia narrowed the gap to 31-21 at halftime. The Bulldogs got to within 31-28 in the third quarter, and each team tallied a touchdown in the final period.
But the Mountaineers needed to control the ball for the final five minutes. They made four first downs - thanks in part to a game-saving, most memorable fake punt by Phil Brady.
He ran for 10 yards on fourth-and-six to preserve WVU's first-ever victory in a Bowl Championship Series game..
Then came another significant victory a year later, West Virginia beating Georgia Tech by an identical 38-35 score in the Toyota Gator Bowl on Jan. 1, 2007.
I'm not certain which team was favored. But the Mountaineers had to storm from behind an 18-point deficit to eke out the victory before a crowd of 67,714.
This time it was the aforementioned Patrick White who earned the MVP award. He rushed for 145 yards and passed for 131 while accounting for three touchdowns.
All-America Steve Slaton was limited by a thigh bruise.
Schmitt gained a career-high 109 yards rushing to help WVU win the Gator Bowl for the first time in six tries.
Pat McAfee's 25-yard field goal, which came in the second quarter, turned out to be a key in the tight contest, which also featured a pair of touchdown runs by Schmitt.
WVU scored the final 21 points in the third quarter. White passed 57 yards to Gonzales and 14 yards to Brandon Myles for touchdowns, then ran 15 yards on a keeper play for the game-winning score.
It was a 48-39 upset of Mississippi in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 28, 2000, at Nashville, Tenn.,, that ended an eight-game WVU bowl losing streak and sent retiring coach Don Nehlen out in style.
Underdog WVU exploded for a 35-9 halftime lead against Ole Miss, then fought off a second-half uprising by the Rebels.
Brad Lewis, the game's MVP, completed 15 of 21 passes for 308 yards and five touchdowns. Antonio Brown had five receptions for 156 yards, while Avon Cobourne rushed for 125 yards.
The WVU defense, led by safety Shawn Hackett's 14 tackles, limited Ole Miss star Deuce McAllister to just 22 yards rushing.
It was one of the more cherished conquests by a Mountaineer team. There couldn't have been a better way to cap Hall of Famer Nehlen's outstanding 21-year career as head coach.
In all, he took Mountaineer teams to an even dozen bowls.
You had to go back all the way to New Year's Eve of 1984 for the previous bowl victory. WVU crushed favored Texas Christian 31-14 in the Houston Astrodome.
It remains among the most decisive of Mountaineer bowl victories. But more about that later in detail.
The one I enjoy recalling most is the 26-6 drubbing of Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. The Gators were favored by 11 points. One touting service, figuring that Florida would win by an even bigger margin, tagged it "Lock of the Year."
But WVU was awesome that wet, 34-degree afternoon in Atlanta. It dominated the Gators from start to finish and became the first three-time winner of the Peach Bowl.
Nehlen, then in only his second year here, hailed that stunning success as "the finest" he had ever been associated with. He called it "our proudest hour" up to that juncture.
Tailback Mickey Walczak caught a record eight passes and scored two touchdowns. Place-kicker Paul Woodside booted a record four field goals. Quarterback Oliver Luck completed 14 of 23 passes for 107 yards and one score.
While WVU logged 301 yards in total offense, its defense limited Florida to a mere 105 yards - including a shocking minus-30 rushing.
Charley Pell, the Gators' head coach, was still so angry the following spring that he burned game films in a midfield ceremony. And Florida omitted information on that game from its 1982 media guide.
That 20-point winning margin was the largest among WVU's bowl victories until tied by last year's 20-point win in the Fiesta Bowl.
The 1969 team had made a similarly shocking impact on the Peach Bowl. "Sneak attack" might be fitting.
The Mountaineers caught favored South Carolina unaware and unprepared by secretly installing a wishbone offense.
It continually confused the Gamecocks, and WVU wound up winning 14-3 in the rain and mud.
Eddie Williams, a surprise starter at fullback in place of Jim Braxton, rushed for 208 yards on 35 carries - a school and bowl record.
Tailback Bob Gresham added 98 yards to become WVU's all-time single-season rushing leader at the time.
In all, the Mountaineers amassed 346 yards on the ground. Quarterback Mike Sherwood tried just two passes the entire game
Williams was honored as top offensive player and linebacker Carl Crennel as top defensive player.
South Carolina was limited to 64 yards rushing and 126 passing.
That victory gave WVU a 10-1 record, then the second best in school history. But the next morning Jim Carlen resigned to become head coach at Texas Tech
It was the Peach Bowl which produced still another memorable victory in 1975. Dan Kendra's 50-yard touchdown toss in the fourth quarter to Scott MacDonald, who was on a basketball scholarship, turned a 10-6 deficit into a 13-10 upset of favored North Carolina State on a muddy field.
Making that victory all the more satisfying was the fact it avenged a 49-13 loss to the Wolfpack in the 1972 Peach Bowl. And N.C. State's coach both years was Lou Holtz, now an ESPN football analyst.
But that win, like the one in '69, cost WVU its head coach. Bobby Bowden left to become a legend at Florida State.
Perhaps the most dazzling of these bowl performances came in the aforementioned 1984 Bluebonnet Bowl against TCU. The underdog Mountaineers piled up more than 500 yards in total offense en route to a smashing 31-14 romp.
The Hornet Frogs were supposed to have the blazing speed, but swift WVU made them look like slow-pokes
Kevin White performed like an All-America quarterback that night. He passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns and was voted the game's MVP.
White was so impressive that a Houston writer commented, "There isn't a quarterback in the Southwest Conference that's as good as this guy."
Willie Drewrey was the top pass-catcher with six for 152 yards and also excelled as a kick-returner. John Gay, Gary Mullen and Ron Wolfley caught TD passes.
TCU managed just 92 yards rushing.
All-America halfback Kenneth Davis netted just 19 yards before leaving the game after a bone-crushing tackle by Matt Smith.
WVU also was the underdog in two Sun Bowl victories - 7-6 over Texas Tech on Jan. 1, 1938, and 21-13 over Texas Western (now Texas-El Paso) on Jan. 1, 1949.
Reserve halfback Davey Issac scored the lone TD in the '38 contest and Kelly Moan kicked the winning extra point. Halfback Harry (Flash) Clarke gained 132 of the team's 198 yards rushing.
That team, coached by Dr. Marshall "Little Sleepy" Glenn, finished the season with an 8-1-1 record.
Quarterback Jimmy Walthall directed Coach Dud DeGroot's winning attack in the Sun Bowl 11 years later. But halfback Jim Devonshire was the star, scoring two touchdowns and running for several big gains.
WVU also needed a rally to nip Kentucky 20-16 in the 1983 Hall of Fame Bowl on a cold night in Birmingham, Ala. But the Wildcats - not the Mountaineers - were the underdogs in that matchup.
Quarterback Jeff Hostetler, 0-for-10 passing the first half, completed 10 of 13 for 88 yards and two TDs in the second half.
Woodside kicked field goals of 39 and 23 yards. Tailback Tommy Gray rushed 32 times for 149 yards.

Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm
Wikinger Offshore wind farm
Symbol of Iberdrola's commitment to innovation, sustainability and internationalisation
Wikinger offshore wind farm: Main project data.
The Wikinger offshore wind farm is an emblematic project for Iberdrola. This project has materialised in a fusion of the company's resolute dedication to renewable energies with technological innovation, internationalisation and a contribution to the economic development with job creation in regions where the group is present. Moreover, through our international expansion, Iberdrola opens the door for its suppliers and service providers to new markets and business.
The construction of this offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea, where the water is between 37 and 43 metres deep, requires an investment of €1,400 million. The site covers a surface area of about 34 square kilometres (km2), where the company plans to install 70 wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 5 megawatts (MW), as well as an offshore substation.
Comparison of the dimensions of a wind turbine with other landmark buildings.
By the time it is connected to the grid in late 2017, Wikinger's 350 MW capacity will produce enough energy to meet the electricity needs of over 350,000 German households, avoiding the emission of some 600,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.

1 John 3:17By
Join the 1 John 3:17 Facebook page by clicking here.
1 JOHN 3:17 is a weekly outreach ministry that blossomed from a mission project called Playground for Jesus. The Playground for Jesus is a recreational area built to honor God, and to provide a safe place for children to play. Through one simple email titled "What could you do with $10?", God provided over $65,000.00 for the project. I have seen God at work in tremendous ways during this entire process. It started by building a "Playground for Jesus" in a low income area of our community. After building the playground I noticed a young boy playing without a coat on. I was convicted by this boy not having a coat. I was reading my Bible that night, and came across 1 JOHN 3:17. This Verse says, "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has not pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" I decided the needing people in our community needed a voice. I knew according to this verse people would feel pity on the needy, and provide for legitimate needs. God has opened so many doors it is amazing. I started emailing people every Friday a need in our community. Each and every need was being met on a weekly basis. Then the radio station 1010 AM WMOX called and wanted me to be a part of a weekly radio segment. This radio segment started in January of 2010. Every week I present a need on the radio. I wonder each week if this is the week we will not met the need. However, God has come through on a weekly basis. Every single need that has been presented has been met.
Monday mornings at 7:15 we have a weekly segment on radio station 1010 AM WMOX called the 1 John 3:17 segment. We will highlight the TODAY'S NEED during the segment and have call ins for about 30 minutes where we try to get the money pledged. Please listen and call in (601-693-1010) or (601-693-1891) to help things get started off with a bang!! This is a great chance to help people in need in our community.
Please remember about the needs we present
**All donations are tax deductible**
For your information- Any need presented will be after an individual has been checked out through the Wesley House Clearing Procedure. Each individual must bring proof of I.D., pay stubs, tax records, social security for each member of the household, any child over 18 must provide income information, receiving any subsidy (food stamps, housing allowance, etc.), and proof of all outgoing bills. There is an extensive application that proves who the people are and the situation they face. Phone calls are placed to verify employment and information provided.
I know everybody has limited incomes, but many people are willing to help if they know who and what their money is going to. I simply cannot afford to do it all, and neither can you. I have a hard time going to sleep at night knowing somebody in this world who is trying their best needs a little help. The money you give will go in full to the individual if you decide to help. God is so good, and thank you for being somebody God can use. Please pray for each story and see if God gives you the means to help. If God puts it on your heart, please do not use the excuse somebody else will take care of it because it might go undone.
The mailing address for 1 John 3:17 is PO BOX 664, Marion, MS 39342. Make checks out to the Wesley House and earmark them for 1 John 3:17.

Overall, a very nice job on your first sweater. The garter stitch ridges and deco at the top stand out, which means you got the hang of knitting/purling and changing between the two.
So i decided to measure the bottom and top of the sweater the chest area is right 22 inches but the bottom was 28 don't know how i managed that
Thank you on my stitches this one looks even neater hopefully this will come out looking much better.

Pentagon Press Secretary Statement on Olympic Winter Games Security
The following press release is attributed to Rear Admiral John F. Kirby, USN
The United States has offered its full support to the Russian government as it conducts security preparations for the Winter Olympics.
To that end, U.S. commanders in the region are conducting prudent planning and preparations should that support be required.
Air and naval assets, to include two Navy ships in the Black Sea, will be available if requested for all manner of contingencies in support of — and in consultation with — the Russian government.
There is no such requirement at this time.

NEW BEDFORD — NOAA Fisheries has opened a two-week comment window on the much-disputed multi-species fishing regulations and restrictions for the year starting May 1 in the Northeast.
Sharp cutbacks in the catch of cod and yellowtail flounder in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank have been recommended by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries regional administrator, John Bullard. Fishermen predict that smaller boats will be driven out of business because of the sharp reductions in allowable catch, up to 80 percent over the current year.
There are, however, increased catch limits for healthy stocks such as redfish and pollock.
There is also a proposal to allow some fishing of southern New England winter flounder, which has been prohibited in recent years. NOAA Fisheries predicts that winter flounder should bring in $5.4 million in revenue without overfishing occurring.
The full text of the proposed regulations are available online at nero.noaa.gov/mediacenter, along with instructions. The comment period ends April 15.

Fossil Aerosol Mining Project – "17 Years In Ektachrome" – [Hand-Held Recordings]
Fossil Aerosol Mining Project has been around since the 1980s and is a superior ambient music project and processes field recordings, muffled background dialogue samples, experimental sounds and eerie undertones framed in spacious ambient sheets. This is a journey through dense audio fog filled with distant, indiscernible shapes and the sudden appearances of artifacts from another time. The use of ancient magnetic tape and careful processing results in strange but captivating pieces of audio art that emphasizes mystery over everything else to the listener.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Nurse jobs, educational tools, career development and more
Contact us >>
As patients near the end of their lives, Community hospice nurses have the opportunity to walk alongside them to maximize their comfort and quality.
If you ask our nurses, they will tell you that there is great honor in developing one-on-one relationships with patients and families as they contend with a terminal illness and prepare for their final days.
Being able to positively impact a patient's life is a privilege – even more so for nurses who care for patients nearing the end of their lives.
Hospice RNs are compassionate and true. They have the ability to work in diverse settings, cultures, and socioeconomic environments. They perform well independently, and their pain and symptom management skills are remarkable.
With an average caseload of 10-12 patients, our hospice nurses may work 8-hour weekdays or weekends. They may also be on call through the week.
Hospice nurses work with a multi-disciplinary team that includes social workers, chaplains, the hospice medical director, and others.
Using a variety of equipment individual to each patient's illness, the diagnoses they manage include cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and pulmonary conditions.
A patient was experiencing uncontrolled physical symptoms while the family was experiencing emotional distress. A team of nurses and the hospice medical director spent the entire day at the patient's home, resulting in comfort for the patient and alleviating the family's fears.
A patient wanted to get married prior to death. The hospice team helped arrange a wedding in the home, providing flowers and cake. The patient and his "new wife" were able to complete that goal and spend quality time together.
Patients approaching the end of life have fears related to being in pain or being left alone. Hospice enables people to stay in their home with their loved ones while receiving professional management of their pain and symptoms.

It will be music to the ears of visitors to downtown Marietta this weekend when the Marietta Sweet Corn Festival and Mayor's Third Friday Jubilee kick off Friday evening.
The family-friendly events promise lots to do, rain or shine, according to Jessie Bigley, president of the Sweet Corn Festival committee.
"We've been working on this all year, since the last one ended," she said. "We have a lot of hard-working committee members and volunteers and each year (the event) gets stronger."
The idea originally "popped" up as a way to bring visitors to the area and to promote local agriculture.
"We grow the best sweet corn in Ohio, so why not showcase it?" Bigley said.
Around 5,000 ears of corn are donated by Witten Farm Market and each piping hot ear, covered with melted butter, sells for $1. Money raised goes back into the committee's fund and to help with the scholarship program designed to reward students in area National FFA Organization programs who are pursuing higher education in the field of agriculture.

When: 5 to 9 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday

"The award is only $250 but we hope, as the festival grows, to be able to increase the amount," Bigley said.
The scholarship is for students in Washington County who are involved in FFA or other agricultural programs. The local schools with FFA programs are Marietta, Warren, Frontier, Fort Frye, Waterford and the Washington County Career Center. This year's recipient is Brady Campbell of Waterford, who plans to pursue a degree in animal science with hopes of becoming a large animal veterinarian. Campbell will be awarded at the festival and will also present a program on FFA, according to Candis Schoeppner, one of two scholarship committee members.
"Brady is just involved in so many things and is so enthusiastic about continuing his education in the agriculture field," she said.
"We want the scholarship to go to someone who is well-rounded, who is going to pursue a degree related to the agriculture field and who is involved in community service," added Buffi Rossi, the other member of the scholarship committee.
A big draw for the festival every year is the childrens' area, which Schoeppner and Rossi both oversee.
"We get a lot of comments from people that they really enjoy the kids' area and the fact that it's free," Schoeppner said.
Included in the area will be face painting, inflatables, a carousel, a pedal tractor pull, crafts, a photo and fingerprinting ID program sponsored by the Marietta police department, balloon creations and cartoonist J.D. Williamson will be on hand both days. New this year is the Pampered Pets petting farm.
Also on Saturday there will be a corn eating contest and a trophy will be awarded to the person who eats and cleans four ears of corn in the fastest time, according to Bigley.
On Friday evening, Mayor Michael Mullen will play host to The Troubadours, a quartet of young bluegrass pickers out of Marion, N.C.
"They're young, hip guys who play bluegrass," Mullen said. "They're really great."
The Mayor's Third Friday Jubilee will kick off at 5 p.m. on the armory lawn.
"A lot of people will come for the entertainment on Friday night, bring their kids down and come back Saturday," Bigley said. "We get a lot of support from the community and from the city to put this on every year. It's just a good, family-friendly event that keeps growing."

Training Camp Blog with Ryan Malone
Day 6 - September 22, 2008
New Lightning wing Ryan Malone has agreed to provide a daily update from training camp for Tampabaylightning.com until the team departs for Prague.
So we're now in Day 6 of training camp. We just finished up our pre-game skate. We tried to get a good work out in before our pre-season game against Pittsburgh tonight. We got a good sweat in, moved our feet, got our hands going a little bit and just tried getting ready for tonight's game.
Obviously coach hasn't put a game plan together for us yet, but we'll be meeting with the staff before the game and probably be going over some power play and penalty killing strategies along with the systems we'll be playing tonight.
This training camp has definitely been a different experience for me. The main reason for that is because it's the first year I haven't been in Pittsburgh. Everything has honestly gone great so far. (Strength & Conditioning coach) Kevin Ziegler in the weight-room is doing a great job with us. He's made sure our hips and groins are strong so we can avoid those groin pulls and nagging injuries that you sometimes get in the preseason. All of the practices have been well-structured and everyone on the staff has been very helpful.
Tonight I'll be playing against a few of my former teammates from Pittsburgh. They don't have their full roster here, but some of the guys I played with last season made the trip. I had the chance to talk to a few of them before I went on the ice for pre-game skate this morning which was nice. I can't say I have many emotions going into the game tonight. I think the reason for that is because it's an exhibition game and not the regular season, but I know when I see all the guys and play against them, especially in Pittsburgh, it'll be a little more emotional so I'm looking forward to that. All of the guys have been good friends of mine and will be for years to come.
Right now I'm going to jump in the cold tub again. It's kind of the routine around here after pre-game skate. The rink has a little pre-game meal they put together for us so I'll be grabbing a bite in a few and then taking a nap this afternoon and coming back to the rink around 5 or so. I'll be back tomorrow will plenty more!

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 1, Part 1, Chapter 25 Summary
- Andrei is all packed and ready to go.
- Marya comes to see him, tells him she misses him, can't believe he's so grown up, and then asks him to be nicer to his wife.
- Andrei is like, "well, I didn't tell you we were having issues, so...I guess Liza spilled the beans, huh." Marya can't deny it and tries to get him to empathize with Liza, a woman who's used to society and lots of social life. Now she's going to be stuck in the country with the Bolkonskys and a newborn – oh, and Mlle. Bourienne.
- Andrei busts out with the fact that he really doesn't like the governess, but Marya defends her. Turns out Prince Bolkonsky took her in as an orphan and thinks of her like a pet or something.
- Finally, Marya gets all dramatic and serious and makes Andrei promise to do her a favor...to wear an icon around his neck like his grandfather did when he went to war. (This is a tiny miniature that would be small enough to be a pendant on a necklace.)
- Andrei half-seriously, half-jokingly takes it. It looks like the family spans the religious spectrum, with Prince Bolkonsky and Andrei closer to atheism, and Marya extremely devout.
- Andrei gets back to his marital issues. He says, basically, look, no one is going to cheat on anyone else, but for some reason we are just not happy together, even though there's nothing really wrong with either of us. (This is an amazingly realistic description of a relationship – especially since so many other 19th century writers were producing really melodramatic novels.)
- Marya goes to wake up Liza, and Andrei follows. Before he comes into the room, Mlle. Bourienne corners him in the hallway and comes on to him. The 19th century version of that is basically:
- Mlle. Bourienne: Oh, Prince Andrei, I see you are walking down this hallway.
- Andrei: Ugh, filthy strumpet! Stop your wicked temptressings of me!
- Anyway, Andrei overhears his wife telling Marya some joke that he's heard her make five times before, word for word. You can almost see his eyes rolling.
- But he tries to be nice and says goodbye.
- Finally, he goes to see his dad.
- Andrei asks that when Liza goes into labor, they send for a doctor from Petersburg to help deliver. In this age of midwives, Andre seems ridiculous. Prince Bolkonsky is all, wha? But then agrees.
- Then the Prince says to his son something like "wives, can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em, am I right?" And Andrei realizes that his father has figured out how unhappy his marriage is. It's kind of a nice moment.
- Prince Bolkonsky promises to take care of Liza and the baby, then gives Andrei some tough love about not being a coward on the battlefield. Prince Bolkonsky is clearly upset at the thought that Andrei might die, but hides it by getting all mad about nothing.
- They come out, Andrei kisses Liza goodbye, she faints, and he leaves.
- Boom, end of Part 1.

People Return to Yanking Money Out of Stock Funds
Any momentum from new cash pouring into U.S. stock funds hit a wall last week.
Investors pulled about $1.8 billion from domestic equity funds in the week ended Feb. 1, according to data from the Investment Company Institute. The net outflow comes after these same stock funds experienced inflows in two of the previous three weeks.
The data suggest the seasonal flow of new cash that enters the market at the beginning of each year may be drying up. Domestic equity funds haven't had a month of inflows since last April, according to ICI.
The stock market's recent melt-up also hasn't been enough to convince mom-and-pop investors to get back into the market.
ICI's fund-flow data show how the scolding wounds from the financial crisis more than three years ago have had long-lasting impacts on the retail investor. People are afraid to wade into risk and prefer the supposed safety that comes with bond funds.
This mindset was evident yet again last week as bond bond funds continue to be the popular place for investors to park their money.
Bond funds raked in about $7.5 billion in the week ended Feb 1. and have registered inflows each week this year.

Brad Cotter reveals that his upcoming Sony debut album is not really his first album. "I was born in Auburn, Alabama and I began singing gospel music when I was nine years old," explains Brad, "and recorded my first album when I was 11." "Between 11 and 17 I recorded five gospel albums as a solo artist." Brad says those albums, plus the years he spent in Nashville writing songs and singing demos, gave him all the experience he needed to be able to finish his debut country album in a matter of weeks. "I've been in the studio 23 years and that's a lot of experience for a 33 year-old," he states.

Even with optimistic investment returns, San Jose has only a 12 percent chance over the next 16 years of having enough cash to cover promised pension benefits to its employees and retirees, according to a report released Wednesday.
The report from the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, a nonpartisan university affiliated think tank, was written by Joe Nation, a Stanford public-policy professor. He estimated San Jose's unfunded pension promises at $3.6 billion.
That translates into $11,500 for each of the city's 305,000 households.
The grim news on the city's pension plan came as no surprise to the city's elected officials, who are locked in a heated debate over how to curb pension costs that have ballooned from $73 million to $245 million in a decade. A city audit a year ago estimated San Jose's unfunded pension commitments at $2 billion.
Mayor Chuck Reed secured approval this month from a divided City Council on pension reforms that could be put before voters in June. They would reduce retirement benefits for new workers. Current employees could choose a lower-cost plan or pay more toward current benefits, and retirees could see cost-of-living raises temporarily halted.
But after revised estimates by pension fund actuaries sharply reduced next year's expected pension bill after factoring in recent layoffs and pay cuts, several council members questioned the rush to the ballot.
On Wednesday, Reed and his council allies said Nation's report reinforces the need for quick action.
"Their findings should alarm retirees and taxpayers alike that there's very low probability that we'll have enough money meet all our obligations," Reed said. "We're not going to get out of this just by waiting and hoping things are going to get better."
Employee unions have argued that voter-imposed cuts to current and retired workers' pension benefits would be illegal. They have offered pension cuts for new hires and voluntary reductions for current workers and say any changes must be negotiated with them. Reed and other city officials have argued that those offers are insufficient.
Unions representing city cops, firefighters and other workers said in a statement that Nation's report ignored the recent analysis that lowered next year's pension bill.
"While Joe Nation excels at fuzzy math, he gets a failing grade when it comes to academic ethics by releasing knowingly outdated and inaccurate data," the union statement said.
Nation defended his research, arguing that recent figures lowering pension cost estimates for next year are a "one-year blip" in an otherwise alarming long-term trend -- and are a direct result of staffing cuts to cover the rising pension bill.
"Are deficit reductions due to layoffs a measure of success?" Nation asked.
Councilman Pete Constant, a former city pension fund trustee, defended Nation's findings, arguing that "we can't be looking at this in one-year increments. No matter how you dice it, we're heading for disaster."
Nation, a former Democratic state assemblyman who represented Marin County, said in the report that San Jose should seek a combination of new taxes, further increases in employee pension contributions and benefit reductions for current employees.
Stacey Hendler Ross, spokeswoman for the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council, criticized Nation for not recommending negotiated solutions.
"He recommends a course of action he recognizes as legally risky," Hendler Ross said, "but ignores the option of collective bargaining that employees are wholeheartedly willing to work on."
