So, Rick Sebak and I made these on the OVER EASY show last week and everyone wants the recipe. Well, technically, we showed the recipe to entice people to become members of the station and to get the DVD's and the cookbook. But since the recipe is so simple and since many of you may already be members – here you go:
First, put six eggs into a saucepan of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Set your timer for 12 minutes. Pour off the water and give the eggs a little shake to crack the shells. Run under cold watrer to stop cooking. Gently remove the shells.
Divide a pound of breakfast sausage into 6 pieces. Spread a little breadcrumb on your work surface and press out each sausage ball into a very flat circle, around 5″ in diameter. Place a boiled egg in the center of the circle and carefully fold the sausage up and around the egg to enclose completely. Roll in some beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs to coat. Spray with some non-stick and bake at 375 degrees until the sausage is completely cooked and niceloy browned about 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and then cut into halves or quarters and serve with some nice coarse mustard.

The Department of Transportation tells WISN 12 News a car slid into the deputy's SUV on Interstate 43 south at Holt Avenue around 5:30 a.m. They say the deputy was outside the SUV at the time.
12 News' Matt Salemme drove past the accident. He says a total of three vehicles were involved, including the squad car.
There were no injuries. The accident scene is now clear.

Nashville, Tenn. -- There are shutouts that come easy, and shutouts that you have to work for.
Stetson's 2-0 victory over Lipscomb Thursday in the second round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship certainly fell into the latter category.
Meredith Owen battled her way through seven scoreless innings and Jessica Griffin and Amanda Grimaldo each drove in runs as Stetson (36-12) advanced to Friday's semifinal round against Mercer, who upset top-seeded USC Upstate 4-3. First pitch at Draper Diamond is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Owen (24-7) scattered six hits and struck out seven en route to her ninth shutout of the year. However, Lipscomb put runners on base in every inning except the third, forcing Owen to work through several tense situations.
"Meredith was fantastic, as usual," associate head coach Vanessa Bataille said. "She was very composed on the mound and she and Jessica did a good job of keeping their hitters off-balance. She stayed low in the zone, came up (in the zone) when she had to and just got outs."
Stetson took advantage of some first-inning control issues from Lipscomb starter Ashley Anderson. With runners at first and second and two outs, Anderson walked Kayla Drury on four pitches, then did the same to Griffin to force in a run.
"During Kayla's at-bat, you could tell (Anderson) was struggling and you could tell she was getting frustrated with the strike zone," Griffin said. "Just seeing that set the tone for me to go up there and be patient."
Stetson added a key insurance run in the top of the fifth inning. After a hit and two walks loaded the bases, Grimaldo hit a clutch, two-strike sacrifice fly to left field to bring in Demi Meza with the second run of the game.
Owen pitched around a one-out single in the bottom of the fifth and a lead-off hit in the sixth. The Bisons (39-12) then brought the winning run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, but Courtney Brandt chased down Brittany Elmore's fly ball to left field to seal the victory.
"I just have to give credit to my team because they backed me up consistently," Owen said. "They made me feel like they had my back which gave me the confidence to just go in and throw strikes, and I knew they would make the plays for me."
Third baseman Brittany Hawn led the defense with four putouts and three assists. She has now converted 90 consecutive chances without an error.
Chrissy Morello had two of the Hatters six hits on the day, including the 200th of her career. She is just the fifth player in school history to reach that milestone.
"I thought it was two of the best pitchers in the conference battling it out," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "In that first inning, we were able to take advantage of the fact that (Anderson) wasn't quite on her game. Later on we put some more hits together and it worked out for another run. Our defense and pitching got the job done."
Notes: Stetson advanced to the A-Sun semifinals for the second time in the last three years ... Owen picked up her 68th career win, tying her for fourth all-time in school history. It was also her 23rd career shutout, tying her for fifth in school history ... Morello became the first Hatter to collect 200 hits since Amy Joyce (Krazeise) in 2007-10 (210) ... Stetson has committed just one error in the last six games (.994 fielding pct.).

Reasoning with Rules
Joseph Raz
University of Oxford - Faculty of Law; Columbia University - Law School; King's College London – The Dickson Poon School of Law
Current Legal Problems, Vol. 54, pp. 1-18, 2001
What is special about legal reasoning? In what way is it distinctive? How does it differ from reasoning in medicine, or engineering, physics, or everyday life? The answers range from the very ambitious to the modest. The ambitious claim that there is a special and distinctive legal logic, or legal ways of reasoning, modes of reasoning which set the law apart from all other disciplines. Opposing them are the modest, who claim that there is nothing special to legal reasoning, that reason is the same in all domains. According to them, only the contents of the law differentiate it from other areas of inquiry, whereas its mode of reasoning is the one common to all domains of inquiry.

The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
Signs of Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
The Signs from the Islamic Resources 4
34. Pewasive Corruption
The Mahdi, one of my children, comes into being, by the blessing of God, upon the approach of the Day of Judgment; the weakening of the believers' hearts because of death, hunger, fitna and the disappearance of the Sunnah; and the emergence of innovations and the loss of means by which to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong. His justice and prosperity will ease the believers' hearts, and friendship and love will settle between the non-Arab and the Arab nations. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 66)
Islamic literature defines fitna as "hard times," such as civil strife, war, or riots, during which evil forces attempt to weaken and even eradicate people's faith.
One hadith, which reveals that the believers' faith will weaken in the End Times, also provides information about the developments that will lead to this:
Briefly, the following events will take place before the End Times and the Mahdi's appearance:
1- Death: As a consequence of anarchy and mass murder, people will not be safe and will be greatly concerned about dying.
2- Hunger: The struggle to make a living will increase, because the cost of living will rise. Natural disasters and catastrophes will lead to starvation and hunger.
3- Fitna: Such troubles will spread and encourage unlawful and immoral acts among all people, both in public and in private.
4- Innovation (bid`at): Adoption of some rituals or innovations on the grounds that they are essential components of Islam, although they violate the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
5- Disappearance of an environment that allows the communication of God's message: Believers will be hindered from enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, and a spiritual decline will occur as a result.
Such fitna will lead to a stronger faith, an increase in patience and rewards in the Hereafter for the believers' having a solid faith, while weakening further the faith of those with weak faith. The latter group might even lose their faith completely.
The Mahdi will appear when such fitna is prevalent.
Other hadiths and Islamic scholars state that the Mahdi will appear when a particular type of fitna has become worldwide.
The Mahdi will come when fitnas appear. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, vol. 2, p. 258)
Disorder, corruption [fitna], and fear will emerge in the West... Corruption will proliferate. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 440)
35. One Type of Fitna Will Spread Everywhere
One kind of corruption [fitna] will surface, from which no party will be able to protect itself, and spread immediately in all directions. This situation will persist until someone comes and says: "O people, from now on your leader is the Mahdi." (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 23)
The hadiths speak of a corruption that will touch everybody and spread quickly. In other words, this corruption will be known to everybody, oppose religion and God, and target the people's faith. Today, materialist philosophy is the largest and most comprehensive trend designed to deny God's Existence and creation. Its underlying philosophy, the "theory of evolution," provides it with a self-proclaimed "scientific" basis. Even though it is not based on any scientific and logical evidence, certain materialist circles continue to work for its acceptance via constant propaganda, deceit, and even fraud.
Today, as this theory has penetrated almost every household, it is safe to say that almost all people have heard of it. This theory is first presented as fact during childhod by means of countless lies and deceit promulgated by society and school textbooks. As they grow older, young people continue to be misled by such funny fallacies that they, and humanity as a whole, came into being merely as a result of coincidence and that they descended from apes. Youths of all ages are brainwashed at all stages of their education by evolutionist lies. (For further information on this important topic and our scientific answers to such propaganda, please refer to Harun Yahya, A Definitive Reply to Evolutionist Propaganda, [Global Publishing: 2003].)
There is a noteworthy point here. As our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) noted in one of his hadiths, corruption's global pervasiveness and rapid spread can materialize only when current technological means (e.g., the press, publications, broadcasting, the Internet, and satellite communication) are available. As the relevant technology did not exist in the past, corruption could not spread throughout the world so quickly. As a result, no other worldwide trend that had declared war on God's Existence, creation, and the morality of religion was seen. All of these are among the important signs that the Mahdi's advent and the second coming of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) coincide with the present time.
At this point, we need to remember that the hadiths heralding this fitna say that it will end when the Mahdi appears.
36. Religious Prohibitions Gain Acceptance
A fitna appears, and other fitnas follow … then comes a fitna that considers all of the unlawful acts to be lawful. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 26)
Transmitted by Hudhayfa: "Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: 'O Hudhayfa, on that day they [the Muslims] will be on the verge of reverting back to their former religion; they will assume that wine is lawful and will fail to perform their regular prayers.'" (al-Uqayli)
Such unlawful acts as prostitution, alcohol, and bribery are widespread in the world today. The western media praises and encourages those who commit these unlawful acts, while criticizing those who do not. Statistics reveal that the number of people engaged in such activities is steadily increasing. This lifestyle that sees no boundaries, disregards what is lawful and unlawful, and considers every form of immorality as normal is quite compatible with the setting depicted in the hadith. This gloomy setting, which indicates the Mahdi's advent, also indicates that the coming of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is drawing nigh. Other related hadiths and the explanations of Muslim scholars are as follows:
The Mahdi will not emerge until unbelief invades everywhere and is openly committed in public. What rules in such times is the invasion by unbelief ... That is its power. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, vol. 2, 259)
The Mahdi will emerge following the occurrence of such vile fitna, whereby all of the prohibitions are regarded as lawful. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 23)
37. Openly Denying God
The Hour will not be established until it is not said on the Earth: God. (Sahih Muslim; Tirmidhi)
Atheism, although around for a long time, started to spread on a heretofore unknown scale by the end of the nineteenth century. The number of people deluded by the spread of materialism and Darwinism, atheism's philosophical and so-called "scientific" bases, increased markedly in the twentieth century, when they were able to propogate their perverse views without any significant difficulty. However, atheism will be defeated by God's Will, thanks to the ideological struggle of sincere believers. (For further information about the collapse of atheism, please see Harun Yahya, The Rise of Islam [Kuala Lumpur: A.S. Noordeen Publishing, 2003].)
38. Replacing God with Other "Deities"
The system of night and day will not end until the people have taken to worship of Lat and 'Uzza… (Sahih Muslim)
Many tribes of my people will adhere to associators and revert back to disbelief before the Hour … (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 287)
The Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists, and tribes of my people worship idols. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
Ascribing associates to God, or deeming someone or something (idols) worthy of worship besides God, is a great sin. Some people think that idolatry involves worshipping statues carved out of stone and wood, as people did in the past. But this is a great mistake, for idolatry also means those who ascribe associates to God. Having faith in God alone, as described in the Qur'an, means dedicating oneself to God alone. In other words, one believes in attaining God's good pleasure and mercy alone. In the End Times, the number of true believers who do not ascribe associates to God will diminish, and the number of people who embrace superstitious beliefs will increase.
39. A Sign of Materialism's Spread
The Mahdi will appear when the letters of the Basmillah lose their importance. (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 29)
What is meant by "the letters of the Basmillah" may be the people's stance toward Islamic morality and the condition of their faith. Indeed, in a period when the people's faith weakens, the Mahdi will appear and ideologically eliminate those movements. Considered from this viewpoint, this hadith may indicate materialism's and Darwinism's amazing strength on the people.
One, and perhaps the most important, duty of the Mahdi, is to prepare the ground for Prophet Jesus (pbuh) by eliminating these philosophical and intellectual movements.
40. Days of Anarchy and Chaos
The Hour will come when violence, bloodshed, and anarchy become common. (Muntakhab Kanz al-`Ummal)
Anarchy and conflict were among the most obvious features of the twentieth century. In countless wars, rebellions, and conflicts, a great number of people died, and security and peace became one of the survivors' greatest longings. The seemingly unending civil wars in some African countries, rebellions in many countries (especially in Central and South America), wars and clashes throughout Asia, and conflict in the Middle East are only the most obvious examples of this chaos.
This aside, during the last decade, anarchy and terror seem to have gone global. Many countries suffered – and continue to suffer – from terrorist attacks that targeted civilians and innocent people. This development, along with the ensuing anarchy and chaos, has caused many people to drift into depression.
41. The Absence of Peace
All hearts being in mischief, some people hold talks with others and make peace and agreement demonstrations. But until a period appears in which people's hearts oppose peace and agreement, Doomsday will not come. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 382, no. 701)
The news given in this hadith still holds true for today, especially the failure to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict over Palestine. (God knows best.) Besides, people working for peace all over the world are doing their best to ensure long-lasting peace and to end war, conflict, and murder. Yet, all of these efforts so far have not succeeded.
42. Revolutions
… Fitna, conflict, and revolution become legion, and people kill one another. People commit suicide, and evil is pervasive all over the world. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 482, no. 901)
The growing number of civil wars and revolutions are among the important signs of the Hereafter given by our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace). In the second half of the twentieth century, such Central and South American countries as El Salvador and Nicaragua, being the foremost, were ravaged by revolutions, coups, and counter-coups. At the beginning of the 1980s, with the strenghtening of guerilla movements organized in the countryside, conflicts of interest between executive cadres and military leaders turned into a massive conflict and chaos impacted some 22 million people. In Nicaragua, Somoza was overthrown, and massive uprisings took place in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala that led to many thousands of people being killed.
43. People Flee from One Another in Confusion
"O, Messenger of God, what is the fitna of Akhlas?" He said: "Fleeing – that is, the fleeing of people from one another due to mistrust and the looting of people's possessions." (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 386, no. 714)
The hadith states that people will flee from one another due to mistrust and fear. This might be a reference to those who are forced to flee their homelands. Indeed, the number of refugees and exiles had increased greatly by the beginning of the twentieth century.
Especially during the last 20-30 years, this increase has reached significant figures. By 2001, the number of refugees reached 23 million while the number of people who had abandoned their homes was about 30 million.

A lesson in gardening has turned into a lesson on local government for one South Williamsport family.
What was planned as a front yard garden box he built this summer now is a fiasco for Mark Aungst and his 8-year-old daughter, Megan. The 521 Fairmont Ave. homeowner was cited by the borough for having an unauthorized structure on his property that doesn't meet code, according to Rodney Heindel, borough zoning officer.
To make matters worse, Aungst said, is that he needs to pay $200 just to have his voice heard before the borough's zoning hearing board to defend himself. That appeal is set for 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 17 at borough offices, 329 W. Southern Ave.
Article Photos
MATT HUTCHINSON/Sun-Gazette
Megan Aungst, 8, of South Williamsport, inspects some cauliflower and other vegetables in a garden box her father, Mark, built.
Aungst, a skilled carpenter and contractor by trade, built the wooden planter boxes so his daughter could experiment growing different plants and vegetables.
The situation has grown beyond that, however.
He said a neighbor lodged a complaint about the planter boxes, which led to an Oct. 15 letter from Heindel stating that Aungst needed to tear the structure down or appeal the zoning officer's decision.
"I'm extremely disappointed in the way it's being handled," Aungst said at a Nov. 12 council meeting, adding that no one from the borough ever personally contacted him about the situation.
"How does it cost me $200 to have a voice?" he said.
Aungst told council members he was being treated unfairly because he never was contacted during or after any codes enforcement investigation about the planter boxes.
The answer he got didn't satisfy him, either.
Council members said there wasn't much they could do and that he was voicing his plea before the wrong audience.
"If you don't file an appeal, it's a violation," Councilman Benjamin Landon said at the Nov. 12 meeting. "There's nothing council can do unless you file an appeal. Had you filed for a permit before you built this, it wouldn't be an issue."
Aungst said he felt discouraged that most council members chose to discount his problem and gave the impression that he was wasting their time.
He said the planter box is just that. It's not attached to his house or anchored to the ground, he said.
"It may be a elaborate, but it's a flower box. I don't live in it. I don't store my lawn mower in it," Aungst said.
Aungst, who has lived at his home for more than four years, said he and his daughter have collected about 50 signatures of support and have received numerous compliments on the garden box.
Megan said she would be devastated having to tear down the timber frame in which she grew a variety of fruits and vegetables.
"I grew four kinds of pumpkins," she said.
She also grew blackberries, blueberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, carrots, peas, cucumbers, peas, broccoli and cauliflower.
"I liked to find out what it's like to grow stuff," she said.
Larry Baker, chairman of the borough zoning hearing board, said he couldn't comment on the subject before the Dec. 17 hearing.
The elder Aungst said he's frustrated trying to wade through government bureaucracy, but he and Megan are learning about more than just gardening.
"I'm not going to let this be an example of how a neighbor can bully you. It teaches her to stand for what she believes in," he said.

New York's July 4th Fireworks Moving to the East River
UPDATED | The nation's largest Fourth of July fireworks celebration will return to the East River this year after moving to the Hudson River in 2009, aides to Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.
Mr. de Blasio, a Brooklyn Democrat who long called for the display to return to the East River, is slated to make the announcement at a news conference along the Brooklyn Heights promenade Monday afternoon.
Macy's, the department store that sponsors the annual event, moved the fireworks display to the Hudson River in 2009 as part the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson sailing into the body of water that would later be named after him. The fireworks have been held there every year since then.
A number of elected officials, including Mr. de Blasio, have been urging Macy's to return the display to the East River, arguing that an event on the East River, with views from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, would serve more New Yorkers.
An aide to the mayor said officials from Macy's have been open to the idea of moving the display back to the East River for years. This year, when the issue surfaced, Mr. de Blasio worked aggressively to make it happen, an aide said.
The fireworks will be launched from barges located between the Manhattan Bridge and the South Street Seaport area, aides said. Some fireworks will be launched directly from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Macy's has moved the fireworks display around the city throughout the years. This year marks the 25th time it will be on the East River, an official said. The display has been on the Hudson River 25 times in the past.
UPDATED | Executives at Macy's said there are a variety of factors that contribute to determining the location, including the organizers' creative goals, safety, public viewing locations and the availability of a wide range of city services.
No decision has been made about the location for future years, but executives at Macy's are hopeful the location will continue to be changed. Officials have yet to finalize the location of this year's live telecast; during the past several years, the telecast was headquartered at a park in Chelsea along the Hudson River.
The Brooklyn Bridge will temporarily need to be shut down to accommodate launching fireworks from the span, but officials said they expect the shutdown to last a short period on the day of the event. Macy's does not disclose the event's cost, saying it's a gift to the city and the nation.
In previous years, the fireworks display was located farther north on the East River, which accommodated people who wanted to watch from Queens. This year, the prime viewing spots will be in Lower Manhattan and along the Brooklyn waterfront. A spokesman for Queens Borough President Melinda Katz did not immediately return a request for comment.

Your bunny will have a sweet, round head, while you'll work increases and decreases to make the hippo's big pink snout. Stuff and finish off and you're ready to start the body.
Here we work on the elephant's upper body in gray, but you'll use the same pattern and techniques to create all three Wee Ones. It's like a top-down sweater, with shoulder and yoke shaping and scrap yarn placed to mark the spot where stitches will be picked up to add the arms.
As you work on the lower body of your Wee Ones knit toy, you'll learn the "afterthought" technique of knitting a piece of scrap yarn into your work to create an opening later. It's also used to make socks, mittens and other projects.
Learn how to pick up the armhole stitches you left on scrap yarn and knit front legs for your Wee Ones. This top-down knitting technique also will come in handy to add sleeves to a top-down sweater or other knitting pattern.
To add the legs, you'll place two double-pointed needles on either side of the scrap yarn, then pick out the scrap to open the hole. A few rounds of knitting and your Wee One is almost complete!
Each Wee One knit toy gets its own unique tail and an embroidered face. You'll give the elephant an I-cord tail, make a pompom for the bunny tail and knit a tiny tail for the hippo. Then add a face with a few stitches of embroidery and your Wee Ones are done!
Add pizzazz to your knitted elephant, hippo and bunny by making them colorful sweaters! You'll love how quickly these tops knit up from just a few yards of scrap yarn.
�This is a wonderful class. Susan is such a good teacher! Having the video instruction is like having a good friend, who is an excellent knitter, to help you through your project. It's great to be able to return to the sections that you need to watch more than once. The class is also packed with great new skill work.�

They say that when one door closes, another opens. But sometimes people just wind up getting stuck in the revolving door of immigration reform.
That's what seems to be happening with DACA students, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The Department of Homeland Security regulation is supposed to make it easier for folks who were brought here illegally by their parents to get access to a higher education.
But it also brings with it some new hurdles, namely being barred from state or federal tuition aid.
Now, to be fair, Trident Tech is certainly more affordable than many four-year institutions. The tri-county tuition rate, which is what somebody in Berkeley, Charleston or Dorchester counties would pay, is $1,855.40 per semester. As Trident Tech spokesman David Hansen pointed out, lottery tuition assistance can pay for more than 50 percent of that cost per semester, meaning some folks will pay as little as $715.40 for full-time enrollment per semester.
Compare that with the out-of-state tuition rate, which is $3,499.40 a semester, almost twice as much as the tri-county rate and almost five times as much as the lottery-discounted tri-county rate.
Law of the land
Israel Ortega is not a criminal, no matter how much some on the right would like to portray him as one. He went to school, and by his teacher's accounts to reporter Natalie Caula, he wanted to learn and wanted to graduate.
Now, with a wife and new baby, he wants to continue his education so he can provide for them.
That sure sounds like the American dream, but apparently some have decided that the American dream is only available to you if you were born here, to parents who were born here, despite that whole Ellis Island thing.
"We need to stop demonizing people like this young man who applied at Trident Tech who wants to be a good citizen and a productive member of community," said Victoria Middleton, executive director of the ACLU of South Carolina.
The ACLU asked the state Commission on Higher Education to help educate our higher-education institutions, letting them know it is the letter of the federal law, not the state's immigration laws, that should be their guideline, and admit DACA students.
A better society
Robert Condy, a Charleston immigration lawyer who represents Ortega, said he can see both sides of the argument about financial aid eligibility. DACA beneficiaries are in fact lawfully present, Condy said, but they have no lawful status. It's a bit of a conundrum, and he plans to investigate possible conflicts between the statute and the regulations.
Paying the full cost can certainly put a damper on someone's route to higher education. Out-of-state tuition and fees at Clemson are about $30,000 a year, more than double the in-state rate. That makes the roughly $7,000 yearly out-of-state tuition at Trident look like a bargain.
"It's just better for our society to educate people," Condy said.
At least the federal government agrees.

CALIFORNIA - Oil companies are eying the Central Coast because under the golden hills around it could be California's next big boom. Igniting a statewide controversy, is the relatively new method of extracting natural gas and oil that's currently buried thousands of feet underground, hydraulic fracturing or fracking.
Central Coast News went to a small town in Kern County, where oil companies have already used the method, to find out whether the growing industry stands a chance against some environmentalist fighting to stop it in the state.
Possible Groundwater Contamination
The city of Shafter, California, has a population of 17,000 and among them is almond farmer, Tom Frantz. Frantz has lived in Shafter his whole life, and for the most part, things have been good.
"I drive through this area on a daily basis. I go to Shafter and drive pass the oil wells. I see a lot of things that bother me," said Frantz.
Last year Frantz videotaped a suspicious fluid discharge that was coming from an oil operation. After Frantz posted the video online, he sent the video to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Board. The agency then began an investigation and tested a sample of the fluids dumped. The test found the fluids were laced with boron, salt, and a mixture of chemicals related to gasoline and diesel.
Frantz said all that was a result from hydraulic fracturing. "Here they were breaking the law right in my backyard. Dumping fluids into a pit that cold contaminate my groundwater," said Frantz.
The water quality agency is investigating operations in the Shafter area. According to Frantz, it's the state's first look at the impact fracking can have on the quality of groundwater.
What about Earthquakes?
Fracking is the use of specially blended liquids, pumped into a well under extreme pressure causing cracks in shale formations underground. The cracks allow oil and natural gas to flow.
"Here in California we heard rumors that fracking was happening but no one really knew what was going on, " George Torgun, Staff Attorney at EarthJustice.
EarthJustice, a non-profit environmental law firm based in San Francisco, has been on the forefront of representing clients affected by fracking. Torgun said when they started asking questions about fracking in California to the Oil, Gas and Geothermal Division in 2010, the state agency didn't really know much.
"How much fracking is happening in the state? They didn't know. What are the environmental impacts of those activities? They had no idea. They required no reporting from the industry about when fracking is happening, where it was happening, how much water was being used, what chemical was being used. Simply no data," said Torgun.
So far, there 1,200 oil wells have been fracked in California, that's according to the website Fracfocus.org, a site where oil companies are voluntarily reporting their methods.
In California, geologists say there should be more concern about them triggering earthquakes.
"The difference in California would be that we have a number of active faults, if you trigger an earthquake, it could trigger a large earthquake," said Bob Barminski, Geologist on the Central Coast.
Barminski said fracking can put too much pressure on rocks underground and then fractures them. He said that's when it can trigger small earthquakes because it reduces the friction that holds rocks together.
What's more, the newer way to frack has changed from going into the ground just vertically to frack, to going down vertically and then horizontally. Barminski said that means companies could be increasing the risk of larger earthquakes.
What's even more concerning for environmentalist like Frantz and Torgun, California sits on the largest oil reserve in the nation, the Monterey Shale.
Economic Growth
Fracking is nothing new in the country. It happens in Pennsylvania, Texas and North Dakota.
"In general, I don't think there are any concerns for hydraulic fracturing," said Dennis Johnson, Mayor of Dickinson, North Dakota. Dickinson has seen dramatic economic growth and Mayor Johnson gives credit to the fracked wells in the Bakken Shale Formation near Dickinson.
"It's led to success in the Bakken and that in turn has led to more jobs," said Johnson
Johnson said in 1999 North Dakota was producing less than 1,000 barrels of oil a day, but this past January they reached one million barrels a day. The sales tax revenue has nearly doubled from $5.3 million to $10.5 million in the past two years. He added the unemployment rate, sits close to one percent.
When asked where the growth came from, Johnson said, "this growth is almost solely oil driven."

Even iOS has a more robust system for this than Windows Phone. There's no option to see a silent pop-up, and there's no notification center which also means you don't have a single place to glance at incoming e-mails, text messages and social network messages.

Choose Your Own Drug Fueled Misadventure: F#@% This Cult
"Care for a bit of spotted dick?" you ask the British Airways stewardess as she passes, making sure to give her butt a high five (for doing such a great job at being a butt).
"The doctor says it's not even contagious," you clarify to her rapidly disappearing form. "And by 'doctor' I mean Beefsteak Billy, the hobo that sleeps in my car, and by 'not contagious' I of course mean he said, 'You should get that checked out as soon as possible.' "

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
We have received a tremendous response to our E-Learning products. Some of the benefits educators are reporting to us include:
Increase efficiency by standardizing education among learners and their organization.
Save time by allowing educators to spend more time in the hands-on portion of training.
Save money by providing cost-effective quality online training.
Increase productivity by allowing flexibility and convenience.
Aid in recruitment by offering a competitive advantage when hiring.
Yes, the ANCC accredits us as a provider of continuing education products for nurses. CNE course credits may not be available for individual modules within a course. See specific courses for more information.
Our accreditation statement is:
AACN has been approved as a provider of continuing education in nursing by the State Boards of Nursing of Alabama (#ABNP0062), California (#01036) and Louisiana (#ABN12). AACN programming meets the standards for most other states requiring mandatory continuing education credit for relicensure.
For states not explicitly listed in our statement, please refer to the state's Board to determine if AACN programming meets their standards for relicensure.
To begin the one (1) year licensing agreement, the AACN E-Learning team will need to know the following information:
There are two ways to approach E-Learning from AACN for your healthcare organization. Which route to go depends on objectives set forth within your organization. Please note that we have made changes to terminology in order to make things clearer and easier for you.
Single LearnCenter — For healthcare organizations that need only one customized LearnCenter that can be accessed by multiple learners from any location. (Formerly called Site License)
One or more site manager(s) are given the authority to assign learners (end users) purchased courseware, review progress and scores. It is in this way they are able to align learning plans with organizationally defined goals, skills and job roles to drive employee productivity and performance.
Multiple LearnCenters — For organizations requiring more than one customized LearnCenter (each able to be accessed by multiple learners) to deliver and track essential training tied to job role and on-boarding requirements. (Formerly called Enterprise License)
There are two main reasons to employ Multiple LearnCenters:
Within one to five days from the date you place your order, AACN will send you three documents requiring action (Hosted E-Learning Agreement, Payment and Site Manager Contact Information). From the time we receive these documents your LearnCenter(s) will be ready to use within 12 business days.
The Single or Multiple LearnCenter license grants usage of the Learning Management System (LMS) via one or more custom LearnCenter Website(s) dedicated to your organization. End-user licenses grant individual learners access to assigned curricula, assessment and personal CNE certificates, while allowing Site Managers to track individual activity, progress and results for each individual. Separate end-user licenses are necessary for each course assigned to each Learner.
Additional end-user licenses can be purchased and used at any time during an active license term for Single or Multiple LearnCenters. The one-year term of each end user license does not begin until you register the learner in the LearnCenter.
If you have purchased end-user licenses that have not been distributed to a learner by the expiration of your contract, they can be assigned to a learner during the renewal term of your contract instead. Should your contract expire before the end of the one-year term of an assigned end-user license, that end user may continue during the renewal term of your contract until the one-year term is reached.
Please be aware that the end user license term does not start over upon renewal, so the remaining time on any license will be the time available once you renew.
Should your contract expire and you do not choose to renew, access to your LearnCenter will cease for both Site Managers as well as learners, even if they were issued an end-user license less than a year prior.
If you need additional Site Managers beyond the three included with each Site or Enterprise license, you can purchase accounts for a one-time fee. These Site Manager accounts do not expire as long as you have a valid Site or Enterprise license. You can order either of two different types of Site Manager accounts:
Please note that if a Site Manager wishes to receive CNE credit for an E-Learning program, they will need to consume an end-user license for that program.
The Help Desk is your source for technical support with AACN E-Learning. You can contact our Help Desk any time 24/7/365, even on holidays, to submit a request for support with technology issues like system failures, error messages, login failures, and Web browser configurations.
Please make sure your computer system meets the technical system requirements for AACN E-Learning beforehand because only systems which meet the requirements are supported by the Help Desk. Call (800) 714-AACN or email the Help Desk if you require support for a specific technical problem.
These issues and more are addressed in the technical system requirements for AACN E-Learning. Please ask the information technology department at your organization to support you with establishing these requirements if needed.

Sandy's Insurance Bill Estimated at $25 Billion for Industry
FRANKFURT— Munich Re AG MURGY -2.52 % , the world's largest reinsurance company, criticized the U.S. for insufficient defenses against natural disasters and stated better coastal and infrastructure protection would help curb higher insurance rates, which the industry will push for in areas affected by last year's heavy losses.
The German reinsurer said Thursday that global insurers and reinsurers will have to pay some $25 billion for the widespread damage caused by U.S. superstorm Sandy, pegging the figure at the high end of recent industry estimates.
"The heavy losses caused by weather-related natural catastrophes in the U.S.A. showed that greater loss-prevention efforts are needed," Munich Re board member Torsten Jeworrek said in a media release. "It would certainly be possible to protect conurbations like New York better from the effects of storm surges. Such action would make economic sense and insurers could also reflect the reduced exposure in their pricing."
Reinsurers take on policies from primary insurers looking to spread out their risks. In general, after high-loss years, reinsurers are able to push for rate increases, but because overall losses were moderate in 2012, rates are expected to remain largely stable when the annual contracts come up for renewal this year, reinsurers themselves have cautioned.
But at least in individual segments, such as natural-disaster policies and other policies in the U.S. that were hit by large claims last year, reinsurers hope to be able to get higher rates from their customers, the primary insurers. Commensurate with the higher risks for natural disasters in the U.S., rate rises below 10% should at least be on the cards, with double-digit-percentage increases in some loss-affected areas, said a person familiar with the matter.
Sandy alone cost insurers and reinsurers $25 billion, Munich Re estimated, saying this figure is still subject to considerable uncertainty. It is, however, at the upper end of the $20 billion-to-$25 billion estimate peer Swiss Re AG issued in December, and would make it the third costliest event since 1980 based on original values after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 at $62 billion, and the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, whose costs were estimated at $35 billion to $40 billion.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall Oct. 29 near Atlantic City on the U.S. East Coast, south of New York City, but losses extended over a vast area. The worst losses were caused by a storm surge on Sandy's northern side, which extended along several hundred miles of coastline from New Jersey to Massachusetts.
"Sandy's flood wave hit New York with full force," said Peter Hoeppe, who heads Munich Re's Geo Risks Research. "Its coincidence with the spring tide was a most exceptional circumstance. But such aspects also have to be borne in mind when assessing risks relating to" metropolitan areas, Hoeppe said, adding that the losses "revealed a significant degree of vulnerability, especially where infrastructure is concerned."
Earlier this week, U.S. legislators in the House of Representatives initially postponed to mid-January a vote on a $60 billion package intended to help victims of Sandy in Northeastern states, but have since agreed to vote on part of it Friday and on the remainder on Jan. 15. The Senate had approved the aid package last week, and President Barack Obama was expected to sign it.
In its natural catastrophe statistics for 2012 published Thursday, Munich Re said global insurers and reinsurers had to pay $65 billion for claims caused by hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes, earthquakes and the like in 2012.
That figure is roughly half the $119 billion in the previous year, when earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand and severe floods in Thailand hit the sector hard and made 2011 one of the costliest years on record.
In 2012, though, the U.S. was responsible for most of the world-wide disaster bill. Insured losses generally are only a portion of total losses. Estimates for overall costs related to Sandy are $50 billion, Munich Re said.
In November, Munich Re estimated its own bill for Sandy to be a "mid-three-digit-million euros amount." This assessment was based on estimates for an insured industry loss at the upper end of forecasts of around $20 billion then available by risk-modelling agencies. Munich Re hadn't previously published its own assessment for the insured market loss caused by Sandy.
A Munich Re spokesman said Thursday that the company will only update the estimate for its own bill for Sandy when it publishes 2012 earnings figures later this year.
Analysts said Munich Re's 2012 profit guidance, which it had only raised in November, wasn't threatened by the higher estimated market loss.
"Their profit guidance is so cautious and is certainly based on all possible scenarios," said Equinet analyst Philipp Haessler. "If the Sandy claims estimate had been doubled, the guidance would have been threatened, but not by a figure that's €5 billion ($6.59 billion) higher."
The Munich Re spokesman also declined to comment on expected rate increases in the U.S. ahead of the industry's renewals releases in early February.
Traditionally, reinsurance policies for Europe, North America including Canada and some parts of Asia are renewed Jan. 1, and negotiations for those contracts have just finished.
Policies covering Japan, Korea and India are renewed April 1; and policies for some parts of the U.S., Australia and Latin America are renewed July 1.

In a matter of minutes, a Pennsylvania resident can walk into their county sheriff's office, and after clearing a background check and paying a small fee, leave with a concealed carry weapon permit good for five years.
But those who do not clear the background check or are otherwise denied a firearm purchase are also free to go - even if their criminal history prohibits them from attempting to obtain a firearm or concealed carry permit.
In Pennsylvania, falsifying information to obtain a concealed carry permit or purchase a firearm is a third-degree felony punishable under the Uniform Firearms Act. An individual found guilty of intentionally lying on their application could face up to seven years in jail, a $15,000 fine or both.
Nationally, only 44 individuals out of 80,000 who applied to purchase a firearm in 2010 faced criminal charges after it was discovered they had lied on their application, according to data from a Justice Department study.
Of the about 30 applicants who seek a concealed carry permit each day, the Blair County Sheriff's Office does not see many individuals intentionally trying to defraud the state background check process, said Holly Garner, chief sheriff's deputy.
The office runs all applicants through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System before issuing a concealed carry permit, Garner said.
"There's nothing that would prohibit us from issuing a permit under Pennsylvania law if the PICS check comes back clean," Garner said. "It's very effective. It combs through their entire background history."
Pennsylvania State Police Firearms Division operates the PICS unit, said Trooper Adam Reed, public information officer.
The system searches Pennsylvania criminal and mental health records, similar to the National Instant Check System records utilized in other states.
Reed said federally licensed firearms dealers also use the automated PICS system to complete background checks on weapon sales, including handgun purchases.
If the application is flagged for discrepancies, the call is then transferred to an operator, who reviews the denied request with law enforcement or the store owner placing the call, Reed said.
The sheriff's office or licensed firearm dealer is then responsible for denying the sale or not issuing the permit, said Lee Stanek, owner of Bub's Archery and Hunting Supplies in Patton.
"I'm the guy that actually has to tell the person," Stanek said. "It has caused some uncomfortable moments in here because of denials.
"If you're denied, you're not getting a gun," he said.
Recent surges in firearms sales throughout the commonwealth have temporarily shut down the system due to a heavy volume of calls, Reed said.
Despite heavy call traffic and wait times in excess of half an hour, Stanek said the system is effective in stopping criminals.
"The system here works," Stanek said of PICS. "I think the way we do it works."
State police could easily be notified if a convicted felon or wanted fugitive is attempting to purchase a gun during the background check process, Stanek said.
Although state police could act, law enforcement and the county district attorney are not immediately notified if a felon is attempting to purchase a gun.
"I think it would be an extra level of protection, but I don't know if it's necessary," Stanek said.
Individuals convicted of a crime under the Uniform Firearms Act, Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, or any violent crimes, are not eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit or firearm.
Individuals who already possess a concealed carry permit are required to notify law enforcement of any criminal proceedings which may result in their forfeit of their permit.
After processing about 500 applicants over the past month, only about five individuals were denied a concealed carry permit request through the sheriff's office, Garner said.
The majority of denials are from mistakes on the part of the applicant, she said. Questions about active protection from abuse orders and different grading of crimes are typical errors that block applicants from clearing the background check, Garner said.
Despite checking individual Social Security numbers and birth records, the system sometimes flags common or similar names in the system, Garner said.
"If they're denied, we keep a record in our system that they're denied," Garner said.
Shira Goodman, executive director of advocacy group CeaseFirePA, applauded Pennsylvania lawmakers' approval of a provision to allow the state to share mental health records with the national background check system.
Individuals who attempt to purchase guns despite their criminal history or dealers who ignore mandatory background checks should face harsher penalties, she said.
The majority of all gun owners and NRA members agree with strengthening background checks, Goodman said.
"That's a place of common ground where we can build from," she said.

A week after quelling its offensive struggles, the Wando football team allowed 40 points to Colleton County on Thursday night in a 40-37 loss.
The win snapped a 36-game losing streak for Colleton County, and the loss for the Warriors (2-2) means an 0-2 record away from Wando Stadium.
After trailing 20-7 at halftime, Wando scored 30 points in the second half. The Cougars scored on a 54-yard interception return with about two minutes left in the game to take a 10-point lead. Sophomore quarterback Bailey Hart quickly tried to make amends, though, with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Zola Davis. Colleton County (1-2) held on after the Warriors could not recover an onside kick attempt.
Wando's only score in the first half came on a fumble recovery in the end zone by defensive back Chance Price off a bad punt snap. Junior running back Kenny Waring, who ran for 250 yards in the previous game, racked up 113 and a touchdown. His scoring play came early in the fourth quarter to give the Warriors a 30-26 lead.
But, the steady play of Colleton County quarter Ramon Hall was too much. Hall threw a 15-yard touchdown pass after Waring's scoring play on the ensuing possession to retake the lead. Hall threw for three touchdowns and ran in another. The Cougars put the game out of reach with the interception return on Wando's next offensive series.
Wando hosts Summerville, Sept. 20. Colleton County looks to start a winning streak with a road contest at West Ashley, Sept. 20.

SALEM - Sixth graders Bryce Owen and Given Warner displayed their spelling prowess once again in battling for the Salem City Spelling Bee championship, but this year Bryce took home the top trophy.
"You're clearly looking at the two best spellers in our district right now," Salem Junior High Principal Sean Kirkland said Friday.
The two Southeast School students spelled against each other for the last six rounds of the 12-round contest at the Salem High School auditorium, with Given missing on the word "barrow" after Bryce correctly spelled "windily" in the 11th round. Bryce became the champion by correctly spelling the word "slav" in the 12th round.

They'll be joining fellow Southeast sixth grader and second runner up Makayla Stoffer, Junior High seventh grader and third runner up Nate Wilson, Junior High eighth grader and fourth runner up James Monigold and Junior High eighth grader and fifth runner up Sam Wilson as the Salem City Schools representatives in the Columbiana County Spelling Bee at 6:30 p.m. March 13 at the David Anderson High School auditorium in Lisbon.
Alternates will be Hunter Christopher and Kaleb Caldwell, both Southeast School students, who placed seventh and eighth in the city bee.
Bryce and Given have a history of spelling against each other, first in their building bee, then on to the city bee and the county contest. Last year, Given was the winner of the city bee in a contest that lasted 14 rounds, with Bryce coming in second.
"I'm happy," Bryce said about winning.
He is the son of Mark and Nancy Owen. Given is the son of Gregg Warner and Jennifer Dobbins.
The city spelling bee featured 20 students, with 10 from Southeast and 10 from the Junior High. Kirkland talked to the students before the bee began and tried to calm their nerves, telling them to "own the moment."
The winner of the county spelling bee will go directly to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., with the trip sponsored by the Salem News, Morning Journal, and East Liverpool Review.
Gary Goddard served as pronouncer and judges were Bernie Jesko, Tara Evans and Jacque Rich. David Stratton conducted the tape recording.
All participating students received a certificate, while the winning spellers received plaques.

It's a safe bet that Portage Area High School senior Paul Husar's past summer was a lot different than the one that was experienced by most young men and women his age.
While the vast majority of his contemporaries may have been holding down a summer job, vacationing at the beach or hanging out with friends at a local burger or ice cream joint, the 17-year-old Husar was arising before the crack of dawn six days a week to go through sit-up, push-up and pull-up drills before heading to the shooting range as part of his basic training for the United States Army Reserves.
Husar completed the U.S. Army Reserves' 10-week basic training course in late August at Fort Jackson, S.C., and will enroll in an advanced individual occupational training program - as an all-wheel vehicle mechanic - with the Reserves upon his graduation from Portage in the spring of 2013.

Paul Husar has been a two-year starter at defensive end for the Portage Mustangs football team.
A three-sport star (football, wrestling and track and field participant) at Portage, Husar completed his basic training in time to start his senior year, and senior football season, Aug. 31 with the Mustangs, for whom he plays defensive end and tight end.
From navigating obstacle courses that included running, climbing and crawling up nets, to shooting military assault rifles and machine guns, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound Husar received thorough training in a variety of military disciplines at Fort Jackson.
"The obstacle courses were the most fun,'' Husar said. "That, and the shooting. We got to shoot four or five different types of weapons - an M16A3 assault rifle is the main weapon that we shot. We also got to throw live grenades and shoot grenade launchers and rocket launchers. It was real rigorous at times, but as long as you kept your head in it, you could keep on going.''
Husar will be a two-year starter at defensive end for the Portage football team. He also won 15 matches as a 152-pounder last winter for the wrestling squad, and in track, he competes in the 800-meter-run and 1600-meter run, as well as in both the 400 and 1600-meter relay events. He ran the 1600-meter run last spring in 4:57.
His athletic background helped Husar in basic training, where the enlistees heeded a 4 a.m. daily wakeup call and went through a variety of different exercises.
'There were push-up, sit-up and pull-up drills every day, and once every two or three weeks, our platoon would go on a 3-mile run paced by the drill sergeants,'' Husar said. "We'd run a quarter-mile in a minute, 35 seconds within that 3-mile run. We'd also do what were known as the safety 120's - jogging slow for 60 seconds and sprinting for 120 seconds. That was timed, and we did that drill for 10 to 15 minutes at a time.''
Over the 10-week period, there were also four drills known as rough marches that involved carrying between 20 and 30 pounds of gear on a back sack for several miles at a time.
"The first time was two miles, the second was about four miles, the third was seven miles and the last one was about 12 miles,'' Husar said. "We did the last two wearing full gear and body armor.''
A leader by nature, Husar was appointed to captain his platoon of 51 enlistees by the observing drill sergeants.
"Playing sports has definitely helped me with leadership,'' Husar said. "I pretty much try to lead by example, but if [his fellow platoon members] weren't doing the right things, I'd correct them to get them on the right path.''
Husar was involved in 15 tackles - eight solo - in Portage's second game this season, against Berlin Brothersvalley.
"He's a great kid, a leader, and the military is what he wants to do,'' Portage football and track coach Gary Gouse said of Husar. "He's got a lot of athletic ability, and he really gets after it out on the football field. The defensive end position fits him well, because it involves a lot of disciplined drills, just like the ones in the military.''
Husar will make an eight-year commitment - including six years in active duty - with the Army Reserves after graduating from high school. In return for one weekend of his time each month, the Army Reserves will cover some or all of his college costs, depending on what school he chooses to attend. Husar is eyeing a career in the medical field.
"I'm ready to serve my country in whatever way I can,'' he said.

One in five U.S. consumers is likely to receive a credit score different than the one given to lenders, potentially closing off access to credit for millions of Americans, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found in a new study.
The study comes as the consumer agency, created by the Dodd-Frank law of 2010, begins supervision of credit-reporting companies' records and practices. The work involves direct examination of about 30 businesses, including the three biggest, Equifax Inc., Experian Plc and TransUnion Corp.
"This study highlights the complexities consumers face in the credit scoring market," said Richard Cordray, the agency's director. "When consumers buy a credit score, they should be aware that a lender may be using a very different score in making a credit decision."
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumers are entitled to a free copy of their credit report each year. Consumer advocates have long charged that credit-reporting companies provide varying scores to lenders, potentially driving the cost of credit higher or depriving consumers of it entirely.
Specifically, the bureau found that one in five consumers would likely receive a "meaningfully different" score than their lender, potentially resulting in harm to those consumers. At the same time, consumers are unlikely to know about the discrepancy.
"Consumers who have reviewed their own score may expect a certain price from a lender, may waste time and effort applying for loans they are not qualified for, or may accept offers that are worse than they could get," according to the study.

I can just see someone backing out of a parking place on Wis. Ave. and not being able to see the dang thing and hitting or being hit by one.
As far as I am concerned, when they pay $75.00 for a license, have brake and turn signal lights, have to wear a seat belt and follow all the rules that I have to follow with my car then they have the right to be on the streets or highway. Until then they should be used as they were intended. They are not a car or a Motorcycle, they are not meant to be used as one, and they don't belong on the streets ! ! ! !
I can just see someone backing out of a parking place on Wis. Ave. and not being able to see the dang thing and hitting or being hit by one.
While most of the ATVs I deal with are the larger "work" kind, they have all been single passenger models that are larger than my motorcycle and I sit just as high on them. If you're worried you can't see an ATV then I'm worried you're not looking for me on a motorcycle or someone on a moped and that's a concern...
Old Scout wrote:Motorcycles are required to have their head light on which makes them much easier to see. (I just wish it was required for cars as most people don't have the sense to turn them on unless it is to dark to see) I have yet to see an ATV with a head light on when on the streets.
Old Scout wrote:I also had to take a drivers test to be licensed in addition to my regular license. Bet you don't have to do that on an ATV.
Old Scout wrote:I have had an ATV for almost 20 years and have yet to take it on the public trails or on the road yet I pay the fee to the DNR. I didn't buy it to use for running to town, and besides that if I want to go to town or to some other establishment I much prefer using my car as it is more comfortable.
Old Scout wrote:If they can run them on the streets and highways, does this mean I can take my Jeep and drive it on the ATV trails ? After all, fair is fair.
Old Scout wrote:By the way, you will note that Mopeds are not allowed on four lane highways even if they are licensed.
One of the big concerns about ATVs in the downtown is, according to city ordinance, ATVs are required to travel to the far right of paved streets, which motorcycles are not. This means ATVs will be "hugging" the bumpers of diagonally parked vehicles when they navigate the downtown. Whether or not that is safe?

Does anyone see a problem here?
I sure do, intolerance and a lack of understanding on your part.
Old Scout wrote:River Rat
What I see is a total lack of understanding on your part of the points we are trying to make.
Not everyone makes a weekend of watching Lawrence Welk on PBS, and going to bed at 8:00pm. Fuddie-duddiness, plan and simple.

The bomb squad arrived at the store about 5 p.m. and blew up the packages.
The robbery suspect, identified as Michael Maupin, robbed a Wells Fargo bank in the same plaza at International Speedway Boulevard and Clyde Morris Boulevard minutes earlier, police said.
Maupin was arrested a few miles from the scene, and all of the money was recovered, according to police.
