The Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Board of Directors recently elected Cindy Hartley as the President of the Board of Directors. She replaces outgoing President, Robert Schlau.
Hartley retired as Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Sonoco Products Company, a global packaging company. She currently serves on the boards of directors of South Carolina Bank and Trust, Coker College and the Preservation Society of Charleston.
"I am thrilled that Cindy has taken on this new role with the CSO. She has fervor for excellence, an obvious passion for the symphony, and an enthusiasm that seems to be spreading amongst our Board of Directors as well as the Charleston community since her arrival. I'm very much looking forward to working with her, as we share a vision of the incredible possibilities that are ahead for the CSO," said CSO Executive Director, Michael Smith.
Hartley has been serving on the CSO Board since September 2012, most recently as First Vice President.
"There are so many positives happening with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. We are building upon three years of solid financial results, our artistic programming is strong, our education offerings and outreach in the community are growing and our future overall has never looked brighter," said Cindy Hartley. "I feel very fortunate to be in this role and part of the CSO family at this exciting juncture."
In addition to Cindy Hartley, the Board voted in Edward Hart as a new director and as Vice President of Artistic Planning. Hart is Chair of the Department of Music at the College of Charleston. In his role on the Board, he will lead the Artistic Committee and work closely with CSO Acting Artistic Director and Concertmaster, Yuriy Bekker.
"I am delighted that Edward Hart will join the board of directors. Edward is an accomplished composer, great arts leader and a treasure in our community. His musical knowledge will benefit our orchestra and I am so excited to collaborate with him," said CSO concertmaster and Acting Artistic Director, Yuriy Bekker.
Hartley retired in 2011 as Senior Vice-President for Human Resources from Sonoco Products Company, a $6 billion global packaging company with 20,000 employees. She developed world-class succession planning and talent management processes and has been recognized nationally in periodicals and books for excellence in this area. She was also featured in the Harvard Business Review Case Study entitled "Sonoco Products Company: Building a World-Class HR Organization." Cindy is currently a director for South Carolina Bank and Trust, the Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees of Coker College, the President of the Board of Directors of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and a board member of the Preservation Society of Charleston. She holds a B.A. degree from Roosevelt University and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago.
Hart's music has been performed in the United States, Latin America, Africa, and Europe including performances in New York, Los Angeles, Kiev, Mexico City, Johannesburg, Boston, Austria, Argentina, and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Hart's music was also featured at the opening of the 32nd Annual International Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, Mexico with President Vicente Fox in attendance. Newspapers such as a.m., Leon, Mexico have described his music as "...spiritual and emotional," El Pais, Montevideo, Uruguay as "...clearly visual," Sun-Sentinel, South Florida, as "...well crafted, smartly scored and cast in an accessible style that clearly communicates to audiences," and the Charleston Post and Courier as having "...great sweep and strong appeal." His works include concertos for piano and guitar, various orchestral works, chamber music, solo piano compositions, choral music, and art songs. Ensembles that have performed his music include Orquesta de Baja California (Mexico), Philharmonica de Montevideo (Uruguay), Lviv Philharmonic (Ukraine), Symphony of the Americas, Kiev Philharmonic, Arpeggione Chamber Orchestra (Austria), the South Carolina Philharmonic, the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, the Carolina Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, and the Upton Trio. He has received many commissions including song cycles for D'Anna Fortunato of the New England Conservatory of Music and Darryl Taylor, founder of the African-American Art Song Alliance, as well as a concerto for Mexican guitar virtuoso Roberto Limon. Most recently, he has completed a new violin concerto entitle Under an Indigo Sky for violinist Yuriy Bekker. Hart's choral music is published by Colla Voce.
Hart is a native of Charleston South Carolina, USA and holds a Doctorate from the University of South Carolina where his primary composition teacher was Gordon "Dick" Goodwin. He is Professor of Music and Chair of the Department of Music at the College of Charleston.

MILLERSTOWN - Eric and Mena Noll, formerly of Millerstown are having Thanksgiving at the beach with their two boys, Bryce, 9, and Trenton, 6 1/2. Family from Juniata and Perry counties are journeying to the couple's new beach home in North Carolina's Outer Banks for turkey and trimmings and to give thanks for the family's life journey.
The move to the beach earlier this year, however, is not because of a job change or a "just because."
The family moved to live out a dream and to find appreciation in life itself.

The Noll family, formerly of Millerstown, now resides in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Trenton was diagnosed at age two with a brain tumor just behind the optic nerve of his eye. The first grader has beaten many odds, but time is still short.
"It's too short," said Mena Noll.
Mena is a 1995 graduate of East Juniata High School. Eric is a 1995 graduate of Greenwood High School. The couple met in 1998 and married on the beach in Nags Head in 2000.
"We fell in love with the Outer Banks and knew it would be where we ended up at some point in our lives; it was our dream," Mena said.
They were blessed with two baby boys and all was well in their Millerstown family life.
But there was something different about their youngest child. It was something that his mother noticed.
"It was a flicker in his eye I noticed prior to his second birthday that prompted the appointment with an ophthalmologist," Mena Noll said. "The ophthalmologist assumed it was nothing, but since there was 1 percent chance of anything else, he still ordered the MRI. May 30, 2008, has become one of those dates that you will never forget, the day our world was turned upside down and Trenton was diagnosed. The images were startling - my baby had a tumor the size of a golf ball in his brain."
The Nolls' lives changed forever.
"Unfortunately the tumor was unable to be removed due to the location. The tumor surrounded his optic nerve as well as his pituitary gland and other important areas of the brain, making any operation life threatening," she said, noting they did not realize Trenton was blind in the right eye and had limited vision in the left eye.
For the past four and half years Trenton has undergone all types of cancer treatments including experimental drugs. In October 2009, Trenton had to have emergency surgery to sustain his life. It was during that surgery he suffered a stroke.
"Overcoming the odds, he learned to talk, walk and relearn everyday functions all while enduring harsh chemo(therapy). It was the roughest time in our lives. It was only God who could pull me through those dark days," Mena said.
Almost two years later, the Nolls were given more bad news. Despite treatment, Trenton's tumor again progressed and there were no longer any conventional treatments available. Due to the long term effects from the emergency surgery, radiation and surgery would not be an option either.
"Eric and I began to research and found an experimental drug call Afinitor. The doctors allowed it, but cautioned to be prepared that Trenton may have very limited time left. We prayed he would survive until Christmas, and he did."
That was a year ago.
Since then the Nolls have make life changing decisions for the sake of limited time.
"After four years we decided that it was time for a change, time for us to not let cancer hold us back," Mena said. "When we looked through family photos we saw the biggest and best smiles on our faces when we were at the beach. It was our favorite place to be. It was our dream to be there not just once a year, but anytime of the year. We wanted our kids to get to live out our dream and, as if it were God's plan, it all happened so simply."
The Nolls sold their home here and found the perfect house in the Outer Banks. Trenton became a patient at King's Daughters Children's Hospital in Virginia.
Last month the doctors there determined Trenton's tumor was once again actively growing and treatment options were exhausted.
Mena said they are thankful every day as if every moment is Thanksgiving.
"We are quite aware that the odds for Trenton surviving are not in his favor, but we have something cancer cannot take away - faith. Trenton has overcome so many things that medical professionals didn't feel he would. Trenton has showed so many people how important it is to enjoy life and praise God. He is our constant reminder that prayers can be answered."
Trenton is excited for the actual holiday to arrive and shares his thankfulness. He most appreciates God, family, the beach and his dog Bella, he told his mom.
Mena said the family is decorating a "Thankful Tree." Each person in attendance may put a note on it telling what they are thankful for this year.
"I can't say that I am thankful that Trenton has cancer, but I can say I am thankful for the lessons it has taught me over the years. I know that there is always a positive in every situation, you just have to look for it. God always has a reason for everything. Our family has become only stronger, more loving, and more appreciative through it all. "
The Nolls have a support system back home through family, Facebook and friends. But, she said, not everyone understood why they would "drop everything" for life on the beach.
"Most people thought we were crazy to pick up and move, but we had a dream and went for it," Mena said. "The best part about having a dream is actually living it. This Thanksgiving I am truly thankful for time ... God has blessed us with so much of it with our children. I think all too often we forget that the time we have here is not a given."

An 85-year-old woman in Upshur County decided she didn't want birthday presents this year because she has everything she needs, so she decided to share her birthday for a good cause.
For the third consecutive year, she has asked for donations to the Upshur County Humane Society in lieu of presents.
"I'm 85! I made it to 85," Evelyn Tonkin said, adding that she was only 4 pounds when she was born. "God's blessed me up to now. I'm hoping for another year."

During her 85th birthday party at the West Virginia Wesleyan College Child Development Center, "Grandma" Evelyn Tonkin stands behind 11 children and their contributions for the Upshur County Humane Society with Michelle Bailey, their private pre-kindergarten teacher on Monday. In the middle row from left to right stands Cooper Antolini, Joey Noltey, Taylor-Ann Parke, Mallory Hughes, Cheridyn Green and Lila Wright. Sitting at the front left of the photo are Andrew Nesbitt, Zachary Foster and Mallory Moss. In front on the right hand side of the donations is Mylo Snyder with Ranger Burgess just behind him.
Tonkin said that if she gets to see her 86th birthday, she will do the same type of collection for the Humane Society. She has four cats and two rabbits at home, all of which are strays or have been adopted. She said she was overwhelmed by the response of the children who decorated a collection box for the items, made hand-drawn birthday cards and banded together to donate a sizable amount of food, toys, blankets, towels and rugs.
"Their response is just absolutely beautiful," Tonkin said. "We have a wonderful team."
Tonkin is known as "Grandma Evelyn" to the children in Michelle Bailey's private pre-kindergarten classroom at the West Virginia Wesleyan College Child Development Center. She told Bailey that all she needed for her birthday this year was hugs from the children and donations for the local Humane Society.
"What do I need? I'm 85. Grandma likes hugs and sharing," Tonkin said. "They really need those things at the shelter, and the children, they just get so excited."
Tonkin is a foster grandmother through the Foster Grandparent Program. Since she was introduced to the Child Development Center 10 years ago, she has connected with the students who have grown to call her "Grandma."
She said she has no biological grandchildren, so "these are my grandchildren.
"I absolutely love these children," Tonkin said.
She got her start in the infant room at the center, but later came to know the children in the 4- to 5-year-old age range like those in Bailey's classroom.
"She still comes into my classroom everyday, which is amazing," Bailey said.
This is Tonkin's first year as "Grandma" for Bailey's class, and it's the first year Bailey is the lead teacher for the pre-kindergarten class. Bailey has been at the Child Development Center for five years.
Tonkin helps the children with their math and helps them to get to sleep at nap time, Bailey said. She also helps Bailey clean tables to set up for lunch, and her helping hand didn't even take a break for her own birthday party. She helped prepare the tables, draw the blinds and serve the cupcakes, cheese puffs, sherbet and refreshments.
Within the week, Tonkin will usually see 13 different children who participate in Bailey's private pre-kindergarten classroom. Eleven of the children were able to attend her birthday party Monday.
"She's adopted our kids," said Daya Wright, the mother of one of the pre-school students.
Bailey said Tonkin probably chose the Humane Society as the charity because of her love of animals.

Safe Electricity Urges Caution around Utility Roadway Work Zones
Driver inattention, carelessness, cause safety hazards for both motorists and workers
Electric utility vehicles and workers often share streets and roadways with motorists in order to access overhead power lines and other electrical equipment. This can be dangerous for workers and motorists. Safe Electricity urges you to go slowly and be especially careful when you see crews at work. More than 500 workers were killed on road work zones in 2010. Fatal work zone crashes occur most often in the summer and fall. More than twice as many work zone crashes happen on weekdays compared to weekends, so be extra cautious driving to and from work.
To help prevent fatalities and injuries this year, Safe Electricity recommends the following guidelines while driving:
The most common crash in a roadway work zone is the rear-end collision, so remember to leave at least four car lengths of braking distance between you and the car in front of you.

These pecan and caramel bars are so wonderful that I cut them in 4 pieces so they last longer. Not too sweet caramel, nice dark chocolate -- perfect balance of flavors.

All throughout high school, the importance of going to college was everywhere. If it wasn't my parents, it was my teachers. If it wasn't my teachers, it was the guidance counselor. Everyone stressed the importance of college. In fact, they were even more specific. They stressed the importance of getting into a good college, which in guidance counselor terms meant a college that was good in the field you were interested in. In many many cases, that college was a private university. While safe advice, it's not necessarily true.
Going to a public university gives you a better shot at success than a private university. You don't have to go to a private university to succeed. In fact, going to a private university gives you no advantage over a public university. To take it to an extreme, going to a private university puts you at a disadvantage in life because you are paying significantly more for your education, thus saddling you with debt obligations, with no benefit.
Student Loan Debt
The average cost of a single year (this includes tuition, room & board, etc.) at a 4 year private college is $24,044 and the average cost of a year at a 4 year public college is $13,589 according to the College Board [3]. Is private school truly worth the extra $10,455 a year?
It's worth it if you can show that a graduate of a private university can earn significantly and consistently more than someone from a public university. I've never seen such a study or a report, likely because there's no way to prove it. To claim a higher chance of success at a private school is like claiming that reading to a child when they're young will improve their cognitive abilities. There may be a correlation but there's no proof of causation. (This is a topic touched on in Freakonomics [4])
Greater Sense of Camaraderie
A school with a competitive sports program creates more school pride than a school without a competitive sports program. By leaps and bounds, public colleges have far superior sports programs than private colleges. Carnegie Mellon University, my alma mater and top notch private university, had no notable sports programs and I felt no strong attachment to the school. (I greatly respect my professors and peers and the education the school provided but in all other areas they were lacking) My friends from schools with better sports programs, public or private, often feel a much greater bond with their alma maters as a result of a strong sports program. Ever meet someone who went to Penn State? Or Ohio State? Or Texas? You know what I mean.
Easier To Network
Business is all about your network. If you're an engineer working on a design, you probably don't think that your network is all that important. Well, what happens when you need a part ordered? Or a drawing drafted? Or something to get through shipping? You could wait in the queue or you can tap your personal network to get your job done faster. The same is true in any industry at any level.
A significant reason why students want to attend Harvard is because of the networking opportunities. However, is the network worth the expense? Is that network that much better than the one you'll build elsewhere? While you could make a case for Harvard, I doubt you could make the same case for every other private university in the country (or even 5% of them). You can build just as strong a network at a public university as you can at a private one.
The opportunities to build a network (and a larger one) are more plentiful at public universities because there are so many more students there! You may argue that you're limited more by the physics of meeting people than the total number of students, I would agree. However, the pool of potential candidate "friends" is much larger so you're more likely to meet networkable people.
More Alumni
Again, playing on the numbers, the alumni network is far greater at public schools than at private schools. If a public school graduates 5,000 students a year and a private school graduates only 1,000, then the public school will have five times the number of alumni (duh!). More alumni, and more passionate alumni, means the chances you run into an alum is much higher. I haven't run into many (as in less than ten) Carnegie Mellon alumni, that I didn't know beforehand, in my professional experience in the last six years.
Public schools are private schools are close enough such that it makes little sense to pay the private school premium. You walk into any company and there will be graduates from both private and public schools. The titles and salaries are not correlated with the issuer of the degree as much as it is correlated to the ability of the employee. The dumbest and most well-connected fool with a degree from Harvard isn't going to cut it compared to a sharp mind from any public school.
Save the money and go public. 🙂

Among the last things West Virginia's state colleges and universities need is to be micromanaged from Charleston when it comes to setting pay for employees.
It is bad enough when case-by-case decisions on policy and practices are made by officials in the state capital. Far worse is when the Legislature enacts laws that remove most or all management flexibility college and university administrators need.
That appears to be what happened in 2011, when lawmakers approved a statute being referred to as Senate Bill 330.
State law previously included rules on pay levels for higher education "classified employees" such as custodians, maintenance workers and secretaries. SB 330 had been intended to update those requirements.
But the complex bill also gives the Higher Education Policy Commission substantial control over what state colleges and universities pay all employees, including faculty members.
Using a concept referred to as "internal equity," the law seems to be an attempt to ensure state higher education employees' pay rates are comparable to other people doing the same jobs and with similar qualifications on their own campuses. Using "relative market equity," it extends that to cover pay in relation to communities and "peer institutions" that may be located in other states.
If all this sounds like the "prevailing wage" laws that waste millions of dollars in taxpayers' money each year, you are beginning to get the picture. Those rules require contractors on public works projects to pay wages at rates set in Charleston, allegedly to ensure employees are compensated fairly in relation to other people in their areas. Often, the required rates are higher than wages actually prevailing in an area.
So SB 330 could force state colleges and universities to spend more on payrolls. Either taxpayers or students would have to cover the increased cost.
Ironically, some institutions, including West Virginia University, face a problem of not being able to pay enough to get some faculty members they need. That is because of the "equity" restraints in the law.
More than two years after it was enacted, SB 330 still is not being enforced, at least in part because of its complexity.
State college and university officials run very diverse institutions scattered throughout West Virginia. Presumably, they wouldn't have retained their posts if they did not know what they were doing on various issues, including how to get good employees, pay them fairly, and be good stewards of taxpayers' and students' money.
Legislators should take another look at SB 330, listen with open minds to concerns from colleges and universities, and repeal the law.

The last available information on iphone production was in September of 2010 when Apple was producing a 137,000 iphone per day. Not only does Apples Sales jump by 88% a year it can miraculously increase its production by 210% in a year and half and have not any cost associated with the new production as its net earnings increased by 11% to 31% in its last astonishing Quarterly report.

DxOMark Mobile first quick glance: Smartphones beat 5-year-old DSCsWednesday October 10 2012 Mobile Review
What is the best cameraphone available on the market? Does the incredible Nokia 808 PureView sensor mean the end of the DSC era? How fine are full HD videos shot with your smartphone compared to DSC's ones? Here are our answers…
Is a smartphone worth using as a digital still camera?
Like the iPhone 5, most of today's competitive smartphones sport a camera with a sensor of at least 8megapixels. This is a far cry from one of the world's first mass-produced camera cellphones, the Sharp-made J-SH04, which had a sensor resolution of 110,000 pixels, or just 0.1-Mpix. Nokia has blown all of these specifications out of the water with its new, bulky, 41-megapixel Nokia 808 PureView.
But shrinking and squeezing more megapixels onto a sensor's surface does not necessarily translate to better image quality. Smaller pixels and their reduced area-size absorb less light, which consequently leads to a reduction in their signal-to-noise ratio, often leading to noisier images, as can be seen in the following graph comparing a smartphone and a DSC (both with 12-Mpix sensors).
Many mobile devices address noise through their imaging filters and processors. But tamping down noise frequently leads to other image defects, such as loss of detail and texture, as pictured below for the Galaxy S III.
These few examples give some clues about the deep knowledge of mobile-specific defects necessary to develop accurate testing protocols for mobile imaging. But we also gave ourselves another challenge when designing DxOMark Mobile protocols, because we wanted to be able to compare mobile cameras with other kinds of digital cameras. And after measuring tens of available smartphones, tablets, DSCs and DSLRs, here are our first key findings:
The best smartphone on the market for shooting still images takes better photos than a 5-year-old high-end compact
Yes, the implausible 41-MPix Nokia 808 PureView sensor is fulfilling its promise, but let us reassure you that it is not outperforming the new generation of DSCs, and that there is a long way to go to attain DSLR image quality (as shown in the following graph):
For taking awesome videos, the best mobiles have an incredible advantage over quite recent DSCs
The full HD videos of the Samsung Galaxy SIII, the best smartphone DxOMark Mobile has tested so far, are truly impressive, with better quality than those of the Canon Powershot S100, as shown in the graph below.

When I heard that designer David Hundley (who is perhaps best known for his line of Gucci dog products, but has also worked for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Lexus) would be designing the installation for Hearst the Collector, I was curious to see how he would blend his minimalist aesthetic with Hearst's maximalist credo. Here, David explains how he managed to meld parts of both, and kindly shares his sketches for a little "before and after."
What was your inspiration for the Hearst installation design?
The sheer scale of Hearst Castle reduced to a minimalist state. In other words, Julia Morgan's designs without the ornamentation.
Stripping the ornamentation seems almost antithetical to Hearst's own aesthetic, but the installation design, as minimalist as it is, still seems to evoke opulence.
It was very exciting to take the grand and ornamental and retain the grand but strip away the ornamental, which, on reflection, has been a hallmark of my designs.
What were some of your basic design strategies?
I started with an empty 22,000 square foot gallery consisting of four rooms. I created three grand halls from the largest gallery, having walls built to the ceiling. These are vertical to the two horizontal Wilshire galleries. I squared off the angular parts of the building providing storage rooms for crates and other packing. Within the newly built walls are recesses to frame the tapestries and niches for many of the smaller sculptures. Vitrines and cases were built to house many of the smaller objects.
Did you take into account how Hearst might have wanted his objects displayed?
"From Hearst's point of view, museum quality status was obviously a prime concern. Impact and impression were his most evident goals in decorating; if desired effect was achieved, breathtaking juxtapositions were achieved." I jotted this quote down while perusing a Hearst Castle catalog at the Senator's House on the Hearst Ranch. It stuck with me as I designed the exhibit.
One of my favorite spots is behind the cutout that houses the Thorvaldsen statue. From this vantage point, visitors almost become a part of the artwork—they're actually framed.
The placement of the Thorvaldsen statue as the focal point at the end of the grand central hallway was one of my initial ideas, and the entire design evolved from this gallery. The curator from the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen, who accompanied the statue to Los Angeles, paid us an enormous compliment. She said she had never seen the statue so beautifully displayed.
I also thought the elaborate table lamp on the Lucite-topped pedestal in an ultra-stark room was pretty great.
The Tiffany Lamp is so "over-the-top," that I had to come up with the thick plexiglass-topped oversized stand to highlight how far over it is.

What elements of your design are you the most excited by?
I am most excited about the grandeur I was able to achieve by the scale of the hallways and the placement of works of art somewhat higher than is traditional.
Now that you've been so immersed in the subject, will we be seeing any Hearst-inspired designs coming from you in the future? What else are you working on?
There is a very strong possibility that my future designs could be influenced by my exposure to the Hearst collection. I am currently working on a residential design project, and I have been asked to design for the oldest glass factory in Venice, Italy, which is celebrating it's 150th anniversary in 2009.

Prepare your health for travel, visit us before you go. What is Malaria? Malaria Symptoms and Signs Malaria Prevention Antimalarial Drugs After Traveling to a Malarious Area What is Malaria? Malaria in humans is caused by one of four protozoan species. All species are transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito. Occasionally Malaria transmission occurs by blood transfusion or congenitally from mother to fetus. Malaria Symptoms and Signs Malaria is characterized by fever and flu-like symptoms, including chills, headache, body aches and fatigue; these symptoms may occur at intervals. Malaria may be associated with anemia and jaundice, and may cause kidney failure, coma and death. Deaths due to Malaria are preventable. The estimated risk of a traveler acquiring Malaria varies markedly from area to area. A Passport Health Travel Medicine Specialist will help you to determine your risk and Malaria prevention measures. Malaria Prevention Because no currently available drug regimen guarantees 100% protection against Malaria, prevention of infection requires taking antimalarial medication as directed in addition to prevention of mosquito bites. Mosquitoes that carry Malaria have nocturnal feeding habits, thus Malaria transmission occurs primarily between dusk and dawn. Measures to reduce mosquito contact during critical hours include: Remaining in well-screened or air conditioned areas Using mosquito nets treated with Permethrin Wearing clothing that covers most of the body and has been treated with Permethrin Using insect repellents containing appropriate levels of DEET Using insecticides in living and sleeping areas where appropriate Passport Health carries CDC and WHO recommended insect repellents for purchase. Antimalarial Drugs Most antimalarials act in the bloodstream to suppress clinical symptoms by inhibiting parasite development in red blood cells. Regardless of duration of stay in a Malarious area, antimalarials should be taken by all travelers. The regimen for all Malaria medications include the need to be taken before arrival, during the visit, and after departure from a Malaria risk area. This approach assures adequate blood levels of the drug, enables the traveler to switch to another drug in the event of side effects and gets the traveler in the habit of taking the drug on a regular basis. Because antimalarials do not actually prevent the disease, continued dosing with antimalarials after departure from an endemic area ensures that the drug will kill any lingering parasites. A Passport Health Travel Medicine Specialist will counsel you on recommended antimalarial drugs specific to your travel destination. Antimalarial medications may be prescribed for you by the Travel Medicine Specialist. While the cost of malaria pills varies, you can buy them at many of our locations nationwide. After Traveling to a Malarious Area Regardless of the drug regimen used, it is still possible to contract Malaria during travel and to become ill following departure from a malarious area. Travelers should seek medical attention as soon as possible if a fever illness develops during a trip or the first year following exposure. Malaria may be fatal if treatment is delayed. So, if you are asking yourself, "what malaria medication do I need?" or "Where do I get malaria medication?" schedule an appointment with your local Passport Health travel medicine clinic.

After dating for a year and a half, the supermodel and her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten separated a few weeks ago, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.
Klum, 40, started dating Kirsten, 41, a few months after she filed for divorce from Seal after several years of marriage.
"Martin was there for her during a challenging time in her life and it was something she will always be grateful for," says a friend close to Klum.
Kirsten and Klum are also ending their professional relationship.
"They are no longer working together," another source close to Klum confirms to PEOPLE.
"Life is about timing. He was incredibly supportive and they were there for each other, but they're moving on now," adds the source. "They still have a great friendship."

SALEM - The city Utilities Commission agreed Tuesday to be included in the city's proposed performance audit which will look at how departments operate and whether they can improve efficiency.
In making the motion to be included, commission member Bob Hodgson said if the state does find any savings, the department could end up saving money over the long haul since the cost of the audit will be a one-time expense and the savings will continue from year to year.
Plans call for the state Auditor's Office to conduct the audit and look at the areas of administration, public safety, public works and parks and recreation to see if anything can be done differently for a cost savings. The cost has been set at $71,700, which is more than last year's estimate since the scope has been enlarged to include the utilities and parks departments.
City Council's Finance Committee agreed in June to pursue a loan from the Leverage for Efficiency, Accountability and Performance (LEAP) Fund to defer the cost of a performance audit. The state will fund the audit up front and if potential savings are identified through audit recommendations, the city will pay the loan back through the savings. If no possible savings are identified, the city won't owe anything.
Last year's council voted 4-3 against accepting LEAP funding and against going forward with a performance audit.
Mayor John Berlin, who had been one of the councilmen in favor of the proposal last year, explained the process briefly to the Utilities Commission. He said the audit would give the city information that could be shared with the public and give great accountability to the public.
No changes to contractual obligations can be considered for recommendations, although Berlin said the state could still make suggestions for consideration during future contract negotiations. He said the cost to each department would depend on the savings, if any, found. If all the savings were found in the utilities department and none in the other departments, then the payback obligation would fall on the utilities department.
He told commissioners their obligation could range from zero to $71,700 - no more than that, but with a potential for less than the total cost.
Commission Vice Chairman Primo Citino questioned whether there would be any monetary fines if the city responded in a year that certain recommendations in the audit could not be met. Berlin said there would be no fines. He said the city will have the chance to dispute facts used to reach the conclusions before the report is released publicly and will be consulted throughout the process.
Berlin said he has no fear that little will be found, saying it's his opinion the city is already being run efficiently. He said he recommended the Utilities Commission agree to be included.
"We all have a vested interest in accountability to the public," he said.
Commission Chairman Geoff Goll called the audit an excellent tool and an opportunity to have an outside firm come inside and look at the operations and compare those operations to other operations statewide. He said his hesitancy was in the prospective cost, but noting it is a one-year cost vs. a multi-year cost.
The city Parks Commission has not met regarding the performance audit, but will hold its regular monthly meeting at 5 p.m. Nov. 28.
The Committee of the Whole of city council will meet at 7 p.m. Nov. 27 to further discuss the performance audit.
In other Utilities Commission business, the commission agreed to ask the Pembrooke Condominium Association for an easement for 461.4 feet of sewer line located on Canterbury Lane. The commission had previously taken over responsibility for the water mains within the private condo development at the corner of Pidgeon Road and state Route 45.
Utilities Superintendent Don Weingart said the city's Southridge Drive sewer line runs through the privately-owned Canterbury sewer line, which is not a good position. This way the city will take responsibility for that 461.4 feet of sewer line on Canterbury Lane.
The next Utilities Commission meeting is set for 3 p.m. Dec. 11. The reorganization meeting for 2013 will be held at 3 p.m. Jan. 8.

Jane Pauley Reveals Bipolar Disorder in Dateline NBC Interview
Recently Jane Pauley, former Today Show and Dateline NBC host, revealed that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In her new autobiography, "Skywriting," and in an interview on Dateline NBC, Pauley discussed her illness and the treatment that she has received.
During her interview with Stone Phillips on Dateline NBC, which aired September 1, 2004, Pauley frankly discussed the symptoms that lead to her diagnosis with bipolar disorder and her stay at a psychiatric facility. Describing a seemingly benign series of events, Pauley revealed that a case of hives and a resulting prescription of steroids led to her diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Manic episodes brought on by the steroids eventually turned to depression once the course of steroids was complete. Anti-depressants helped but manic episodes and feelings of being "revved" continued. Following the impulse purchase of a house and the revelation of suicidal thoughts, Pauley's doctor recommended a psychiatric stay.
Pauley movingly described being under suicide watch and the toll her undiagnosed illness had on her family. Eventually Pauley's illness was stabilized with lithium and she has since resumed what she terms a "normal life" including hosting a new talk show, The Jane Pauley Show.
A part of Dateline NBC's web site coverage included information on NAMI and our Information Helpline number was placed on their website. NAMI is here to assist you in finding information and resources. You can learn more about specific illnesses, treatments and support.

What kind of varmint??
They come in numerous sizes & ranges.
Ranging from a few ounces to close to 50 pounds.
And from a few yards to 500+ yards.
And each requires a different caliber for optimum performance.
May 6, 2013, 11:43 PM
.204 Ruger. A fast, flat shooting, hard hitting round. True vermin destroyer.
May 6, 2013, 11:43 PM
Absolute nuts-on consistency. Loves being shot out of my stuff ranging from 16 inch 1:12 to 24 inch 1:7 barrels.
Knocks the snot outa tree rats to skunk pigs and will end a coyote and larger too if needed.
Readily available - current emergency not withstanding - and at a price keeping me away from the reloading press.
Forgot to note: .223
May 6, 2013, 11:55 PM
What kind of varmint??
Whichever is your favorite.
May 6, 2013, 11:59 PM
I like 223 and 22-250. They will kill just about anything and are fun to load and shoot too. For softer stuff like most things smaller than a coyote I will use a V-Max, but I use everything. I tried some SX stuff , but the jackets are so thin you have to slow the bullet down to keep them together. My favorite bullets are made by Sierra.
May 7, 2013, 12:01 AM
22-250. But I'm bumping up to .243 as well.
May 7, 2013, 12:02 AM

Lmpingbear, I have a box of Barnes Varmint grenades , but I haven't loaded any of them yet. Can you run max charges with those?
May 7, 2013, 12:07 AM
Whichever is your favorite.Well O.K. then.
.22 or .38 Special birdshot for mice, rats, & snakes in the barn.
.177 air rifle for tree rats (squirrels) in the garden.
22-250 for coyotes.
.223 or 22-250 for Prairie dogs.
30-06 for hogs in the pond and cow pasture.
Then there is the occasional elephant.
450 Nitro Express double, or .460 bolt gun.
Now that's a destructive varmint in certain parts of the world.
Just not in my part of the world.
Like I said.
You need to be more specific!
May 7, 2013, 12:52 AM
What caliber for Toto,RC? :D
Last feral dog that I killed got hammered by my .308 ;)
May 7, 2013, 12:53 AM
22 long rifle. It's forced me to be a good stalker and a good shot.
May 7, 2013, 12:55 AM
rc, those elephants play hell with my tomato patch, c'mon!
I've used an '06 with max'd out 125gr TNT's. Pretty much vaporize whatever you're aiming at, but by the time I recover from the blast, I sometimes forget what I was aiming at!
Seriously, a .223 with a good top load with a 50gr TNT, VMax, BlitzKing, or pretty much any HP or varmint SP like a Hornady SX, will make for a very bad day for most critters up to coyote or so.
May 7, 2013, 01:04 AM
What caliber for Toto,RC? Toto's are a wuss.
They can be pesky, but are easily handled.
Very few people who are not from Kansas know about their weakness.
You can grab them by the bow-tie and choke them out if you are not armed.
Those Scarecrows are another matter however.
You grab them by the neck-tie and the old rotten things rip right off leaving you holding a stick in the ground and looking like a Kansas country bumpkin!
Been there done that more then once while out cow-tipping late at night I can tell ya!
May 7, 2013, 01:05 AM
I am going to build another 25-06 pretty soon. However, I have a couple of 22 match guns I need to finish and a couple of AR stripped lowers too. I used to have a savage 2-06 with a heavy barrel. I wish I would have kept it. I will probably have Savage build one at their custom shop.
I shot a crow with a V max out of that gun when I was a lot younger and it blew that thing to smithereens. I went to look for the carcass and all I could find was like a beak and part of a foot. I remember pulling my head off of the scope and seeing a big cloud of black feathers.

22lr and 410 #6.
May 7, 2013, 01:24 AM
7x57. Cause that's the most appropriate one that I have now. 110 speer TNT HP @ 3100 fps.
257 bob will probably take over when it gets here. Then the 6mm Rem. Or 22-250. When they get done.
May 7, 2013, 01:26 AM
Speer makes a nice product.
May 7, 2013, 01:28 AM
.22 LR for me, taken lots of squirrels and gophers with it. Been fiddling around with a .223 lately, the ammo shortage has slowed that a bit. The shortage hit before I had a chance to stock up on stuff for the new rifle.
I have plenty of other ammo on hand, just very little .223 ammo and no components for reloading it. Once thing ease up a bit I'll get back on track and maybe work up a few decent loads.
May 7, 2013, 05:49 AM
22-250 is my favorite.
May 7, 2013, 08:03 AM
My first center fire rifle was a .22-250 and it worked well on everything from prarie dogs to coyotes. It still does.
May 7, 2013, 09:02 AM
I would have to say my .25-06 Rem. or my .243 Win..................
May 7, 2013, 10:31 AM
Both of hose are great rounds. Some people believe the 25-06 is inefficient and may be , but it does a good job.
May 7, 2013, 10:35 AM
Took my .220 Swift Ackley Improved to the dog towns yesterday. It was impressive with a 50 Vmax smokin along at about 4000 fps. The .223, .22/250, .17 Rem, .218 Bee .221 Fireball, and .22 hornet are just as deadly, within their respective ranges. But the Swift is king of the .22 centerfires.
May 7, 2013, 10:44 AM
I really like a 4" .357 magnum for varmints. You can blow them up or smash through a lot of meat and bone, depending on the critter. For reaching out a ways,.. never mind, they're all good, they're varmints!
May 7, 2013, 10:52 AM
I have a .17 Rem, .221 Fireball, and a .22-250. The .22-250 is the best all around with windy and distant shots. The .17 is the most fun.
Jim, West PA
May 7, 2013, 12:07 PM
Mine is the .220 Swift.
( i built and extensively tested all manner of .22 caliber rifles and cartriges )( yes, i did the same with .284's, .308's, 6mm's and .270 )
I went to great lengths to build a single shot, FULL Bbl, tight chambered,mounted in a custom composite stock, ( long before composit stockes were the 'norm' ), extreeeeeeemly accurate .220 Swift that was launchin a 52gr. BTHP @ 4100 fps 18 years ago. I topped it with a Bausch and Lomb 6x24.
On whistledeeks i had to take headshots when hunting places where they needed to be disposed of. Body shots just left too many parts to clean up.
Majority of shooters just don't get it and handloaders that aren't into 'building' ammo for one , aren't....well....real handloaders :neener:
But the Swift is king of the .22 centerfires.
whitchhunter gits it.;)
I've even dropped white tails with it at 200 yards. And i mean..DROPPED 'em.
I also had a hand or two, into building a .22-.284. Tons of work makin brass and loading it. And, pushin a 52gr .224 at close to 5000 fps makes for ridiculously short throat and Bbl life.
May 7, 2013, 03:40 PM
I've had good results with the following:
.223 Rem
.22-250 Rem
6mm Rem
.25-06 Rem
.257 Wea Mag
.270 Win
I haven't taken any varmints yet with my .308 Win.
May 7, 2013, 05:20 PM
.22-250 was my first varmint gun, and I currently have four of them. I have several other calibers, but my first choice is usually a .22-250.
May 7, 2013, 06:54 PM
.308 on windier days...368 yards on this one I believe
.223 most other times...
May 7, 2013, 06:57 PM
agree with witchhunter the 220 Swift is king of the varmint cartridges
May 7, 2013, 07:46 PM
1. Crosman 760. (with the real wood stock) Dad was watching too close with the Red Rider for me to be in my killin zone.:D
2. Marlin 60 .22

For most vermin nowdays, a.223 of some sort is usually my go to.
Unless the vermin seems too big or too far for that, then it's..... Whatever works best..

.22-250 doesn't leave much left of a groundhog
May 7, 2013, 09:03 PM
I don't shoot long range. If .22LR won't do, my .22 WMR will. :D Of course, some call the .257 Roberts a varmint round, but all I've ever shot with it are deer and hogs.
May 7, 2013, 09:11 PM
.223/5.56 because ammo is normally cheap and easy to find. Good to hit coyotes out to 600+ yds. Chambered in my favorite varmint rifle, the AR15.
May 7, 2013, 09:56 PM
The ubiquitous 22LR works for lots of varmints. For whatever it won't reliably kill, there's the .223 Remington. It's plenty fast and flat without being a barrel burner.
May 7, 2013, 10:13 PM
A one caliber hunter,I hunt groundhogs in the summer and deer in the fall with a .243.
May 7, 2013, 10:14 PM
Hmm, no one mentioned the .17 or .22 Hornet? I've always thought a 10" .22 Hornet barrel for my TC Contender would be fun. I may get one, yet. :D
May 7, 2013, 10:19 PM
The Swift is still King! I have been looking at the .223 WSSM ballistics though...but I have a ton of faith in the .220, I have owned a couple, shotem out and rebarreled em, they all just shoot great. You don't get the barrel life you do with a .222, but you get the accuracy and the speed, ah the speed....the Ackley version solves the brass stretching.....
May 8, 2013, 12:43 AM
I use a 204 Ruger for ground hogs out to 400+ yards (off a bench, or one of those field pods) and my 270WSM for anything beyond that
Mat, not doormat
May 8, 2013, 02:21 AM
.222 Remington. That's my ground hog rifle. It's accurate, efficient, and easy to find bullets for. ( Brass, not so much,) and best of all, it was my grandpa's rifle. Been killing whistle pigs for pretty near sixty years.

243 is one tough customer in the varmint department, it can easly match the 22-250's ballistics downrange and can sling 100gr pills for larger varmint (aka hogs) The 25-06 is a superb dual purpose hunting rifle/splader cannon but many would say that it is simply too excessive for a purpose built varmint gun.

I like 60 grains of 3Fg pushing a patched .380 round ball from my .40 caliber flintlock on groundhogs. Hammers them out to 100 yards. :D

Ah, Dave, a man I can identify with. :D

Well, between these two, there IS the .257 Roberts and the .250-3000, ya know. Both are efficient rounds and they would be appropriate medicine on long range yotes IMHO. I don't do yotes unless they're trying to raid my chickens at night and then I have a light on my .22 mag's scope, just pontificating on the .25s. :D

May 8, 2013, 01:08 PM
222 Remington, 'cause it's old school :)
May 8, 2013, 03:39 PM
For prairie dogs: I shoot 17 HMR up 100 yards, .22 Hornet 150+ yards, .223 up to 200 or so yards, .204 and .243 up to 400 yards. Squirrels .22 rim and 17HMR. Coons and possums 12 gauge and 17 HMR. Coyotes 12 gauge, .22 Hornet .223, .204. 243 in that order.
May 8, 2013, 06:39 PM
Used to be a die hard .223 guy because the ammo was cheap and available. Now,,,not so much! So I think I'm switching over to the .22-250. I like the .243 a bunch too but it is rough on soft critters like coyotes and bobcats. I guess a .22-250 is to though..
In all honesty I think a .308 with 165 gr or 180 gr bullets is pretty decent cote medicine and with a decent bullet not as tough on the hide as many hyper little .22's and 6mm's. For volume prairie dog shooting it's pretty tough to be a good .22 CF.
May 8, 2013, 10:33 PM
22 rimfire magnum.It is very accurate.It has a quiter report.My shots are under 125 yards.
May 8, 2013, 11:12 PM
I don't always run the varmint grenades to max velocity (though you can quite easily) I work up a load the gun throws best. Now running VG'c out of my H&R 223 I max load the 36 grainers and I can hit dimes at 100 no problem. They really make a mess out of prairie dogs....
May 9, 2013, 12:20 AM
85 grain sierra boat tail .243 for ground squirrels = "Red Mist."
12 gauge shotgun with OO buckshot for feral dog that chased me --- once.
.38 special with Speer shot cartridges for a lot of rats in my wood pile.
.25 ACP for pesky old telephone books. Three at a time. (Saves time and ammo.)
May 9, 2013, 12:25 AM
My favorite is 22-250, but I usually use .223 because I have so much more of it.
May 9, 2013, 12:50 AM

I am currently building an XP that i think will be even better than the 17 FB--the 17 VHA.
May 9, 2013, 10:17 AM
For woodchucks, I prefer my .17 HMR, 20gr polytip. If it's 150 yards or less, it's dead.
May 11, 2013, 02:43 PM
back in the day, the triple-deuce out to 150 yards, 225 winchester out to 350 yards, 220 swift and 6mm remington past 350. the swift was better out to 400 yards. the 6mm best over 500.
good times shooting chucks back in western pa.
May 11, 2013, 03:29 PM
I have a whole safe full of varmint guns, but I have two that are in a tie as my #1 favorite, they are equally awesome guns.
257 Roberts AI with 75 gr Hornaday hollow points
243 Win AI with 65 grain V-max
On gophers and PD they create great RED MIST SOCIETY days, Coyotes are DRT and so are Deer and antelope with heavier bullets
May 12, 2013, 01:01 AM
.270W loaded with 110gr. Hornaday hollow points. Good for deer to groundhogs.
May 12, 2013, 12:10 PM
55 gr BT in .243
It will blow the heck out of anything out to 300 yds at 4000+ FPS :)
loose noose
May 12, 2013, 02:29 PM
I've used a Hornady 52 grn. A-Max in my TC Contender with the 14" barrel (.223) on coyotes out here and it stops them in there tracks, however there isn't near as many of them this year so I guess I'll just let 'em be.
However, a buddy of mine that lives up around Seligman, AZ, said there are a lot of Praire Dogs tearing up his property again, and would appreciate a little help in controlling them critters. So I guess my new AR-15 with the 20" Bull Barrel with the Sierra 55 Grn HP/BT should do the trick. I've got PD's out to 350 yards with my Weatherby in .223 a few years ago from a bench fairly consistently, not to blow my horn ya know.:D
May 14, 2013, 08:54 AM
My first center fire was an F.N. Mauser in .250-3000 Savage and it worked for deer and was poison on the local woodchucks, western coyotes and jackrabbits. Shot a turkey or two also.
Still have it and it shoots great especially with 87 Grain Hornadys.
May 14, 2013, 09:04 AM
I always thought this look like fun
May 14, 2013, 11:35 AM
This summer I'm hoping to get some coyote hunting in here in Ohio. Never done it before but I'll be taking out my AR. 223 will do for me. My train of thought is caliber choice 10% + good shot placement 90%= clean kill 100% of the time. For squirrel hunting I like my 12 ga. with low base shells and a tight choke. I used to like a 22lr but I don't feel comfortable shooting in the tree tops. It's great for shots angled towards the ground but I like the option for both ground and tree tops with the shotgun.
In my "opinion" one of the best varmint guns would be a Savage Model 24! Plenty of caliber and gauge combinations to suit most people! Savage has a new over under rifle/shotgun out but I think it's ugly! So I prefer the old model for that reason only!
May 14, 2013, 06:24 PM
22lr is good because it's cheap.
25-06 because it's accurate and flat shooting.
223 because nothing's as fun as an AR15.
7.62x39 because it's the cheaper closer range alternative to the 223.
45/70 because it's so versatile.
303brit because nothings more fun that watching a squirrel vaporize.
30-06 because (see 303 brit)
6.5 jap because my 6.5 is super accurate and it's the most recent for me.

May 18, 2013, 07:52 PM
Ain't no consarned varmint with in a hunnert yards that's under 75 # that can't be murdered with a 30 gr Barnes Varmint Grenade outta the smokin' end of a 22 Hornet.
Switch that to 300 yds and a 50gr BVG, for 150# and a red hot 223 Remington barrel.
But man I really got the hots for a 220 Swift , and a 17 Hornet and a 22-250 and a,OOPS there goes the savings!
May 18, 2013, 08:07 PM
223, because it does the job real well.:)I
May 18, 2013, 08:12 PM
My Savage M-11 in 223 Rem is my present favorite.I had a. 225 Winchester previous to the 223. Difficulty in getting brass forced me to sell that.I really did not need the 225 here in PA.The 223 does everything I need. If I lived in prairy dog country I would get a 22-250.I started out with a 22 Hornet which would still be adequite. I did not handload at that time so I really never utilized it's potential.:evil:
May 18, 2013, 09:12 PM
I shoot 58gr VMAX out of my 243 Win. My marlin XS7 loves this bullet, I push them to around 3,600 fps. Deadly, and accurate. Good on anything from ground rodents to coyotes. More reach than 223.
17 HMR / 22 Mag for under 125 yards
223 for up to 200 yards
243 for up to 300 yards for me.
May 19, 2013, 08:42 PM
SScoyote, thos dogs are huge! Out here in northern Cal, our pdogs are about the size of a redbull can! The Boone and Crocket models, a pepsi can. Oh, I bet the .17 contender is sweet. My current favorite is in .221 Fireball.
May 21, 2013, 01:00 PM
For me its a 22 Hornet. It's quiet and gets the job done.
May 21, 2013, 03:56 PM

I don't know where Lassen county is but I've shot prairie dogs around central imperial valley.. pretty much, where lots were about the size of a big loaf of bread.. and heavy!
I think they were old/mature momma's or something.
May 21, 2013, 05:38 PM
I really like the 223 for coyotes. For squirrels its a Savage 22 over 410
May 21, 2013, 10:25 PM
Any 50 bmg varmint hunters? Pics would be sweet!:D
May 21, 2013, 11:02 PM
Most all of my shooting is at prairie dogs. P dogs get nuzzle blast smart so I start in the spring with a 17HM2 RF then as they get smarter I use the 17 HMR RF, then the 17 Fireball followed by the 204 Ruger. By fall I may get out the 22-250, 220 Swift, and the 243 Winchester. When I have shot p dogs at 400 yards with the 243 other p dogs in the area get into their holes because of the loud muzzle blast .

May 22, 2013, 09:57 AM
That's good stuff there Dave. I'm fixin to do my dirtpig shootin with my .36 Seneca this summer.
All we have here are are dirtpigs (groundhogs). No prarie dogs, and no classic gophers.
I tell folks my .40 flinter with a patched, round ball is my "hog rifle", and the "hogs" usually tumble backwards when hit, and I never need a second shot..., it takes a second but any hunter in the discussion picks up that I am talking ground-hogs, not delicious piggies.... :D
I have a nice, bull barrel handi-rifle in .223, and it's a tack driver, but not near as much fun as the flintlock.
May 22, 2013, 09:40 PM
the KING of varmint cartridges the 1 and only 220 SWIFT
May 23, 2013, 12:34 AM
For a lazy man.
May 23, 2013, 03:45 PM
My varmint calibers of choice are .22 and .204 Ruger. Both allow me to see what I hit through my scope without the recoil jump of the 22-250 or higher calibers. I can watch my targets either drop or explode (depending on the round fired).
May 31, 2013, 11:13 AM
6mm Remington and then 22-250. Several different factors (game, weather and terrain) decides which one gets the nod for the day.
May 31, 2013, 04:36 PM
19 Badger because it is so sweet and deadly and I can see my hits through the scope.
22-250 because sometimes the 19 is just a little too small.
223 because it was my first varmint caliber.
June 1, 2013, 02:21 AM
I have been kicking around an Ackley cut.
June 1, 2013, 07:30 AM
My current groundhog rifle is a 221 Fireball, 40gr. V-max at 3250fps.
I am heading out today to have a 22br chambered that I am hoping to get upwards to 4000fps out of the 40gr. V-max.
Pretty excited about that.
June 1, 2013, 08:37 AM
22-250 it just works. 22 LR was and it my reach for first varmint round.
June 1, 2013, 10:35 AM
The 22-250 seems to be a staple as well as the 243 win. I still see plenty of 257 Bob shooters too.
June 1, 2013, 12:31 PM
I find my self using my CZ 22 HORNET & 17 REM, more all the time. And have grown very fond of both of them. The 22 HORNET takes care of 95 % of my Varmint Hunting needs, so I guess it is my favorite. ((( RIGHT NOW ))
June 1, 2013, 09:58 PM
My favorite Varmint rounds are the .223 Remington with 40 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, or Varmageddon's, or Hornady Z-Max or V-Max's. Really like those 40 gr bullets at 3700 fps + and the ability to spot your own shots. Same with the 17 HMR, very good performance out to 200 yards on small gophers, etc. and quiet for more populated areas. Also zero recoil so you can see where your bullet hits without a spotter.
June 3, 2013, 03:20 PM
I would have to say the .22-250 is my first choice. I love the little round and the ballistics.
2nd- .243
3rd- .308
But since we are saying "varmint" round, I will stick with the .22-250.
June 3, 2013, 08:10 PM
.223 for coyotes and a .243 for the bigger wolfs
June 3, 2013, 11:35 PM
What kind of varmint??
They come in numerous sizes & ranges.
Ranging from a few ounces to close to 50 pounds.
And from a few yards to 500+ yards.
And each requires a different caliber for optimum performance.
I agree with this.
Having said that Ill also separate Varmints and Predators. Although both have calibers that overlap.
I like the V-Max bullet for most things but may not be my first choice for a wolf.
The .204 ruger is from what I hear VERY pelt friendly and flat shooting but may not be the right choice for Yotes and long distance in the wind. .223, .22-250 and .220 swift have been getting it done for so long can you go wrong with any of them?
I have had a .223 Vanguard and traded it in on a 6.5 creedmoor for long range youtes and wolves, and also as a back up for deer. I still ave an AR so have the ability to save pelts on yotes and bobcats (hopefully) if needed.
The creedmoor is amazingly accurate at range, bucks the wind and hits hard to drop a yote in his tracks at any distance and should do for any wolf here in Idaho.
I guess the ideal varmint round would be one that is light on recoil, relatively in expensive to shoot, bucks the wind and has down range energy. Pretty hard to choose an ideal. Hard to beat .223/.22-250, .243, .17 HMR etc for availability and ease of acquiring ammo (in normal times) just to name a few. Sure I could use 110gr V-Max in my .270 WSM but how long would the barrel last ad would I want to shoot high volume of it in a sitting? A .338 Win Mag would work too but why? Even if you reload you get very little out of a lb of powder.

UNIVERSITY PARK - New football coach Bill O'Brien has a five-year contract that will guarantee him $2.3 million per year, which search committee member Ira Lubert said is "a little less" than what former coach Joe Paterno was making at Penn State.
Many schools do not release contract information upon hiring a new coach, but Penn State made that information available Saturday. O'Brien's contract includes:
* $950,000 per year base salary from the university.
Article Video
* $1 million per year from radio and TV deals.
* $350,000 per year from Nike.
On top of the guaranteed $2.3 million, O'Brien has additional incentives that could total as much as $200,000 per year. He also receives a built-in 5 percent annual increase.
Lubert, the financial whiz of the search committee, said, "It was not a hard negotiation at all" with O'Brien.
"I think he's paid well within the Big Ten," Lubert said, "and we have some incentives, a little bit more incentives above that - winning the Big Ten, winning a national championship, winning a bowl game. I think he's well-positioned."
Four Big Ten coaches made more money in 2011 than O'Brien's contract calls for (see chart), while New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer signed a six-year deal worth $24 million, plus additional incentives.
Fact Box
2011 Big Ten coaching salaries
Base pay, according to USA Today study:
1. Kirk Ferentz.....Iowa.....$3.79M
2. Brady Hoke.....Michigan.....$3.25M
3. Bo Pelini.....Nebraska.....$2.78M
4. Bret Bielema.....Wisconsin.....$2.6M
5. Mark Dantonio.....Michigan State.....$1.92M
6. Ron Zook.....Illinois.....$1.76M
7. Jerry Kill.....Minnesota.....$1.7M
8. Kevin Wilson.....Indiana.....$1.26M
9. Pat Fitzgerald.....Northwestern.....$1.19M
10. Luke Fickell.....Ohio State.....$1.17M
11. Joe Paterno.....Penn State.....$1.02M
12. Danny Hope.....Purdue.....$925,000
According to a USA Today study, college coaches who received the highest base pay in 2011 were Texas' Mack Brown at $5.19 million, Alabama's Nick Saban at $4.83 million and Oklahoma's Bob Stoops at $4.08 million. Some sources have reported Saban's overall salary at $6 million including all incentives.
Given his lengthy tenure and success, Paterno had long been considered one of the nation's most underpaid coaches when looking strictly at base pay. His total compensation in 2011 is not known, but his base salary from the university was $1.02 million.
"Joe had things on top of his base pay, too," Lubert said of the incentives, "so it's typical of contracts within college football."
O'Brien's salary as the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator is not known. The average salary of NFL assistant coaches is $350,000 to $375,000, according to the NFL Coaches Association, and he likely made more than that as a coordinator.
"My conclusion after spending a lot of time with Bill is money is not the top motivator for him," Lubert said. "He wants to lead this program, he wants to develop a lot of young men to grow into great men and he wants to win football games. That's what he's all about."

Gordon Brown's gaffe
There are few spaces in the world, visual or aural, that are now free from prying eyes and ears, most of them electronic.
It's more dystopian than the world poor old Winston Smith encountered in George Orwell's 1984.
Gordon Brown found that out to his cost yesterday. The video above give the full narrative of the toe-curling episide with pensioner Gillian Duffy in Rochdale. (more…)

Lunsford loses parental rights
Supreme Court upholds Lewis County judge's decision against missing child's mother
February 15, 2013
The West Virginia Supreme Court upheld a Lewis County judge's decision to terminate parental rights to the mother of a child who has been missing for more than a year....
When trash like this applies for Welfare ... then the state should turn off the baby making factory!

It's as plain as the nose on your face theese people don't need any children they can't enen take care of themselves without rideing the welfare train & they even abuse it. They need to have their baby making machines turned off. as well as every welfare train rider.

This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.
Dr. Brian Durie discussed the randomized phase 3 SWOGG S0777 trial that investigated the addition of bortezomib to lenalidomide and dexamethasone for previously untreated multiple myeloma patients without an intend for immediate autologous stem cell transplant.

Housed in 12 rooms, the collection features a wide range of children's and games items from between 1850 and 1960: dolls, teddy bears, construction kits, small shops, play kitchens, trains, model cars, toy soldiers, children's books, board games and more. Travel down memory lane and watch your children explore the way their grandparents and great grandparents played. For the perfect family adventure, round off your afternoon of discovery with a visit to the Engel museum café.

He nabbed a mirror ball trophy on Dancing With the Stars last month, but the biggest and best prize is yet to come – J.R. Martinez tells PEOPLE exclusively that he and girlfriend Diana Gonzalez-Jones are expecting their first child in May.
"We found out just last week it's a girl and we are over the moon," Martinez, 28, says.
"Diana has a little baby bump now and it's the cutest thing ever. With the holidays coming up, this is the biggest and best gift we could get."
The Iraq war vet and Gonzalez-Jones met when he landed a role on All My Children in 2008.
At the time, she was working as an assistant to the soap's executive producer. The two became close friends, but it wasn't until last year that the pair decided to take their friendship to the next level.
"We were so good as friends that romantically, we just clicked right away. There was no adjustment period," Gonzalez-Jones told PEOPLE earlier this year.
Impending fatherhood "is sinking in" Martinez says, admitting that he can't believe all of the good things that have happened in the past year.
"2011 has been full of a lot of surprises and opportunities and ultimately, a lot of blessings," says Martinez. "Diana and I were just asking ourselves, 'How is 2012 going to top 2011?' Well, we have our answer!"

Directed by BARBARA SMITH
Insubordination is our worst crime. It wrecks cities and empties homes. It breaks and routs even allies who fight beside us. Discipline is what saves the lives of all good people who stay out of trouble. Ant to make sure we enforce discipline never let a woman overwhelm a king.
Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, has placed herself on a collision course with her uncle, King Creon. Antigone's brother has died in battle, Creon refuses to give him a proper burial. When Antigone defies Creon, she is banished to a cave. Creon's son, who is engaged to Antigone, comes to her defense but there are dire consequences. Passion. Loyalty. Pride. One of Sophocles' best known and most enduring dramas invites us to ponder the complex moral dilemmas of civil disobedience and the proper exercise of power.

So, Why do you think other NHL teams' fans seem to hate the Wings? Is it the players that make it this way? The owners? Bias in the media?
Any response would not only be helpful but greatly appreciated.
I've been off of the LetsGoWings.com forum for a while but DANG it's good to be back!
