Dawes, Cardinal James Gibbons, Warren Harding, John J. Pershing, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. Arrangement is alphabetical by name of correspondent.
Subject File, 1913-21 (61 linear feet)
This series contains correspondence, memorandums, photostats of letters and documents, clippings, and other papers relating to the wide variety of interests that claimed Mr. Hoover's attention. Typical of the subjects in the file are Edith Cavell, Foreign Trade and Banking, Mining (printed material), Meat Investigation, National Security League, Russia, Stanford University, War Trade Board, and Wheat Investigation. Larger subseries are as follows:
American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, 1913-21-Mr. Hoover was president of the AIMME during 1920-21, and the bulk of this subseries is from this period. Much of the material is related to the work of the Industrial Waste Committee.
Federated American Engineering Societies, 1920-21-As president of the American Engineering Council (the governing body of the Federated American Engineering Societies), Hoover urged the FAES to conduct a study of waste in industry. This subseries contains a FAES office file and an Industrial Waste Committee file. The more significant correspondents include: Samuel Gompers, Morris L. Cooke, Edward E. Hunt, Florence C. Thorne, Vernon Kellogg, and Robert B. Wolf.
Panama-Pacific Exposition, 1912-14-In January 1913 Herbert Hoover was commissioned by the President and Congress as special representative for the United States to promote the Panama-Pacific Exposition celebrating the opening of the Panama Canal. Mr. Hoover attempted to mobilize support within Germany and Great Britain for participation in the San Francisco exposition. World War I cut short this activity and propelled him into food relief work.
Presidential Campaign of 1920-Mr. Hoover's political career was launched during the 1920 Presidential campaign. This subseries containing correspondence, clippings, campaign materials, and speech and statements files, sheds light on this time. Of particular interest are the "Hoover Boom" efforts in both parties, the California primary contest with Hiram Johnson, and the struggle over the issue of the League of Nations.
President's Industrial Conference, 1919-29-Herbert Hoover served as vice chairman of the Second Industrial Conference called by President Woodrow Wilson in November 1919. Hoover played an important role because the chairman, Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, was rarely in attendance. This subseries contains correspondence, printed reports, clippings, and other papers. In addition, the Library has added microfilm and electrostatic copies of letters and documents of the Industrial Conference materials from the Records of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (Record Group 280) and General Records of the Department of Labor (Record Group 174) in the National Archives, Washington, DC.

The papers in this series deal with such subjects as the reorganization of the Commerce Department, the expanded activities of existing bureaus (Fisheries, Standards, Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Census, Lighthouses, and others) and the creation of new bureaus and divisions such as Aeronautics and Housing. Large sections are also devoted to farm matters, foreign debts and loans, the regulation of radio, the relief of flood victims in Mississippi and Vermont in 1927, and the problems of business cycles and unemployment. These files contain correspondence, memoranda, reports, statistics, clippings, maps and charts, and printed material arranged alphabetically by name and subject.
American Child Health Association, 1921-35 (22 linear feet)
Mr. Hoover's abiding concern for the welfare of children appears to have been, in large part, a direct result of his wartime experiences. In 1921 he became president of the American Child Hygiene Association. Two years later he presided over its merger with the Child Health Organization to form the American Child Health Association. Mr. Hoover took an active role in the direction of the Association until its liquidation in 1935, using his influence to secure donations from private foundations to finance the Association's work.
Documents in this series include correspondence, annual and quarterly reports, financial and personnel records, minutes of the executive committee, memoranda, copies of speeches and statements, clippings, and printed material including various Association publications. Arrangement is alphabetical by name and subject. Related materials can be found in the Presidential and Post-Presidential Papers.
Colorado River Commission, 1921-54 (33 linear feet)
The construction of Hoover Dam was made possible by an interstate compact that was drafted by the Colorado River Commission. Mr. Hoover represented the federal government on the commission and was elected its chairman. Due to his continuing interest in the development of the Colorado's resources, these files extend into 1954. The greater portion of the papers, however, fall within the period 1921-28. Related materials may be found in the Commerce and Post-Presidential Papers and in the papers of Commission member Delph E. Carpenter. Carpenter played a major role in devising a formula to divide the electric power and water equitably, thus resolving the main issue facing the Commission.
Documents in this series include correspondence, memoranda, minutes of public hearings and commission meetings, printed reports, engineering studies, clippings, maps and charts, and miscellaneous printed materials, arranged in five subseries.

By Chris Sokoloski
Waccamaw Highs softball team has been resting since Saturday afternoon, waiting to see whether theyll face Andrews or Loris in the District VII-AA championship game.
The Lady Yellow Jackets and Lady Lions were scheduled to play Monday night but got rained out. The game was rescheduled to last night.
Whichever team comes to Pawleys Island will have to beat Waccamaw twice to claim the championship. Waccamaw will only have to win one game.
The Lady Warriors have only lost one game at home all season.
Waccamaw earned a spot in the district championship game with an 11-0 win over Andrews.
The first inning we had the bases loaded and we didnt score a run, Yellow Jackets coach Steve Blanchard said. If wed have scored a run or two there we might have had some momentum.
The Lady Warriors scored nine of their runs on seven hits in the third inning, capitalizing on two errors and two hit batters. Melaina Moore had three RBIs in the inning. Hallie Butler and Sam Leonard also had RBIs.
We got a couple people on base and got a couple of hits and they got frustrated a bit in that one inning and that was really the difference, Waccamaw coach Scott Streiffert said.
Sam Tansy drove in Moore in the second and fifth innings for two RBIs.
McKenzie Lugin scattered five hits and struck out three for her 12th win.
They did a good job of defending us where we hit the ball, Blanchard said.
This has always been a difficult place for us to play, Streiffert said. They had a big crowd here and it was a great softball atmosphere. For this just being a district playoff game, I really felt that the intensity level was up a notch, on both sides at the beginning.
Waccamaw opened the playoffs with an 11-1 win over Lake City.
The Lady Warriors ended the game early with a five-run burst in the sixth inning.
We came out a little flat and I was worried about that because we lost a very emotional game to Dillon and we had a lot of people hurt, Streiffert said.
Emily Heimberger went 3-for-4 with three runs and an RBI; Olivia Dunlap went 2-for-3 with two, runs and two RBIs; Riley Morris went 2-for-4 with two triples and three RBIs; and Lugin went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs.
Butler got her 12th win of the season.
Waccamaws 24 wins this season are the fourth most in program history. One more win would tie this years squad with the 2007 team.
The 2010 state champions won 34 games; the 2009 Lower State champions won 30.
Im really excited for our kids, Streiffert said. Weve had a really good year. Weve just got to take it one at a time. Its going to continue to get tougher and continue to be more intense.
Andrews opened the playoffs with an 8-0 win over Loris.
Allie Rogers went 4-for-4; Logan Cannon went 2-for-4; and Brooks Cribb went 2-for-4.
Rogers got the win.
We came out strong and pitched good and played great defense and hustled and struck the ball well, Blanchard said. A good team win. Everybody doing their jobs, doing what theyre supposed to do. Playing together.
Andrews is 21-4.
When you win 21 games theyve done a lot of good things during the year, a lot of great things, Blanchard said.
The Lady Bulldogs opened the playoffs with a 4-2 win over Marlboro County.
Megan Strickland went 3-for-4 with an RBI; Taylor Graham went 2-for-4 with an RBI; Blakely Graham went 2-for-3; and Kelly Howard went 1-for-3 with an RBI.
Taylor Mercer got her 10th win of the season.

what im hoping to do is to write a perl script that will remove the whitespaces and replace with a , delimiter so that it looks like this:-
The perl script should be able to process this file in a directory say /jumbo/in and once the file is processed it should be moved to /jumbo/out
Attached is my perl script that i have come up with needless to say it doesnt work:-
Re: Manipulating a txt file with Perl
Moved to PERL forum
Re: Manipulating a txt file with Perl
Dear Friend,
You can use the following coding. But it is working for only file. because I have used only one file.
The file contents are available in the following file /jumbo/in/file.
The following program also available in the same directory.
Then I have created another file in the directory /jumbo/in/. That file is used to write the content after the replace the space as ",".
But the above code only work for only one file. If you want to perform the operation multiple files or single file. But your code will show me as multiple files.

The Niagara County Legislature is facing a dilemma over what to do about its law setting up a sex offender buffer zone. As backward as it seems, the Legislature needs to repeal its law and comply with less-restrictive state rules. If not, the county runs the risk of creating financial problems for the citizens it is trying to protect.
Courts operate on the premise of supremacy, in which no state law is allowed to be more severe than a federal law, and no local law is allowed to be more severe than a state law. Because of that principle, sex offenders have filed lawsuits against communities with more-restrictive laws.
A sex offender who wants to live in North Tonawanda is being kept in prison, even though his sentence is up, because he can't find a residence that complies with the city's law. He is suing both North Tonawanda and the county.
Nobody wants a sex offender next door, but there can't be multiple, conflicting systems of justice. In the long term, the state has to come up with a solution that answers the safety concerns of local governments. Short term, though, municipalities should conform to the state law, for their own self interest if nothing else.
It is a decision Niagara County leaders must make. Even the original sponsor of the proposal, Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszel, R-North Tonawanda, understands as much. As reported by News Niagara reporter Thomas J. Prohaska, who has written extensively on the issue, Wojtaszel "regretfully" conceded "that if we continued to enforce this law, we would face legal liability."
The county's law, passed in 2008, bars all Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders, the most serious categories, from living within 1,000 feet of any school, park, playground, day care center or other places where large numbers of children gather.
It's tougher than state law, which applies the 1,000-foot buffer zone only to Level 3 offenders on probation or parole. What makes the issue more complicated is that the county law differs from those of communities lying within its boundaries.
Earlier this year, Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III invalidated a Town of Newfane law with a 2,000-foot buffer zone, and North Tonawanda's quarter-mile buffer zone has been challenged in court.
The City of Lockport looked closely at its own law applying the 1,000-foot rule to all Level 2 and Level 3 offenders and repealed it on Aug. 1. The council also passed a resolution urging the city's representatives in Albany to work on a harsher state law.
The state has to come up with reasonable regulations for Level 2 and 3 offenders that will supersede the patchwork of county and local rules that run the high risk of being overturned in court because they are tougher than what has come out of Albany.
Lawsuits filed by sex offenders against local governments with stricter laws create angst among elected officials balancing the practical with the understandable public outcry for stricter laws that will keep parolees away from children. The officials also have to factor in whether the buffer laws are even effective.
According to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services "Myths and Facts" page on its sex offender registry website, the common belief that residency restrictions make communities safer is unclear.
What is clear is that the state has to come up with an across-the-board solution.

Multifactor productivity increases modestly in many manufacturing industries
December 29, 2000
Multifactor productivity—measured as output per unit of combined labor, capital, and intermediate purchases inputs—increased between 1987 and 1996 in 63 of the 108 industries for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes data. Most of the gains were relatively modest.
Average annual increases of between 0.1 and 1.0 percent were recorded in 32 industries. In another 21 industries, multifactor productivity rose by between 1.1 and 2.0 percent. Ten industries had productivity growth rates exceeding 2.0 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Industry Productivity program. Data are subject to revision. Additional information is available in "Multifactor Productivity Measures for Three-digit SIC Manufacturing Industries," (PDF 25K), BLS Report 948.

A terrific piece today by Noel Whelan about how we need a revolution in the way in which information is made available to us, the public.

Your very interesting and provocative comments on the last post have caused a lot of soul-searching in here – thanks to everyone. As I said (comment 85 if you're so inclined) there's a few meaty subjects around improving the website, which I grouped into key subjects, one of which (navigation and architecture), I'll have a first stab at responding to here. (more…)
As I said at the outset, I hope to use this blog to get the views of you, the user, on what we can do to improve The Irish Times. As time goes on, I hope we can discuss specific subjects, different sections of the site, ease of use, making content better, etc. But what the hell, why not just throw it open to the floor?
If there was one thing you'd like to see done to improve what we do, what would it be? All suggestions will be received in good faith, and taken seriously (unless they're obviously unserious, in which case they'll be taken in that spirit too). Sarcasm is acceptable, wit is preferred, but I do honestly want to hear what you'd like to see us do better.

Michael Wolff's article in this month's Vanity Fair will be read with interest by those trying to figure out Rupert Murdoch's real intentions. Will Murdoch really start charging for all his online content within the year? And if so, will it work? Wolff, whose book about the Dirty Digger is worth a read, seems extremely sceptical. The plan to hive off the Sunday Times from timesonline and charge for its content is, he implies, more a strategy to protect the paper than to develop the website. If, as the article suggests, 25 per cent of timesonline's traffic is generated by Jeremy Clarkson (which is a pretty remarkable statistic), and if Murdoch therefore reckons he can leverage those fans into subscriptions to the ST, then one imagines Clarkson's agent might feel his client is due a new deal, or should even strike out on his own.
Whichever way, there's no doubt Murdoch's competitors (i.e. pretty much every media organisation in the English-speaking world) are watching with nervous fascination and eagerness. Don't knock it till he's tried it, seems to be the general consensus, as newspapers ravaged by the recession, declining circulation and loss of readers to online cast about desperately for an answer to their woes. Meanwhile, New Media types pour scorn on the plans: the old geezer just doesn't get it, they say. He's clinging to a broken model that ain't coming back.
We shall see. This week's launch of the paid-for Times+ gives some idea of the way Murdoch is thinking – tailored services rather than old-style paywalls (like the one we had around these parts until last year). Will it work? Well, it'll be a very interesting experiment. I just don't believe him when he says "we're going to have no paper, no printing plants, no unions. It's going to be great."
Well, here goes… I'm the editor of irishtimes.com, and you're welcome to my new blog, wherein I'll be casting my eye around the media landscape in general, the Irish situation in particular, and the goings-on here in Tara St specifically. (more…)

Hi All,
I need to buy ONE good IA book for my UX library and am considering either Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Morville or Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web by Wodtke.
Any thoughts on which one of those is better to have if I can only get one? Any other recommendations?
thanks in advance for your feedback.
I'd recommend Pervasive Information Architecture, by Resmini and Rosati. Came out last year, very deep book.
But the other 2 are great, really should get all 3.
《Simple and Usable Web,Mobile,and Interaction Design》
Author:Giles Colborne
this book is great, I highly recommend you to read it.
I don't understand why you're limiting yourself. Both books are good, and both are on my shelf. They do overlap some, but they also provide unique views on IA.
I would also second Pervasive IA, though it is more theoretical and less hands on. Among my other go-to IA books are Greg Nudelman's Designing Search, Peter Morville's Search Patterns, Jim Kalbach's Designing Web Navigation, and Eric Reiss' Practical Information Architecture.

Sunshine Acres Beagles
Miss Christina's
Indoor Companion Beagles
Continue enjoying our website, After the next page that features our puppies, you are provided with links to our many other helpful & adorable pages, covering various topics..
Home Page (previous)
Why invest in: our FAMILY RAISED
-vs.- "Cage Raised & Hunting Hound" lines
to be your family's indoor house-pet.
Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppies... Indoor Raised Pedigreed Pampered Pets..
We don't show dogs but its nice to know that our bloodlines started from companion CDX Champions (Companion Dog Excellent - an AKC obedience title, denotes championship status), & CH (Champion) titled Conformation AKC dog show winners; Obedient, beautiful, breed standard correct Purebred Beagles !
We continued from those origins to breed for superior housepets. We are going beyond breeding for winning looks, or tracking instincts- Our top priority as a family has always been to develop the best homebody family members, encompassing all the wonderful qualities of beagles. We wanted to incorporate simply the best of those various pinpointed qualities found in different beagle lines, & selectively breed focusing on all the beneficial qualities that make a beagle perfect for the average American family, who purely wants a indoor companion, happy to be a homebody, not a show star or instinct driven tracker, in order to create ultimate house pet beagles, for ourselves to enjoy, and to share with families who also simply want to enjoy a loving lapdog..
We think there are many important aspects to a family pet, and rather than essentially breeding for a champion in the show ring- primarily focusing the attention on only those particular standards focused on to achieve notoriety, we aim for a champion pet, best for in your home! We choose to also consider & incorporate everything needed to make better loving lap dogs to fit in with your happy pet home - those qualities that you & I as pet lovers favor, from personality, intelligence & temperament, to coat quality, good health & individual adorableness, so that it all comes together into one well-rounded housepet!
We no longer individually register our babies with sporting dog registries, as we were being encouraged to hone their talents to track rabbits, and we feel there is a huge market in America with families who desire beagles that don't want to track animals, but rather be indoor companions pets who are content with that lifestyle. This way breeders will not try to purchase our well rounded more homebody oriented beagle traits, plus our luxurious coats & unique pet-perfect line to use in their own breeding programs. All our beagle puppies are from AKC parents/ lines. We can provide a copy of the parent's/ ancestor's AKC papers. These guys are intended to be pets & family members only, If you do not plan to breed, show or hunt- then you would not need papers. If you do plan to breed beagles, please Do Not entertain the idea of adding one of our sweethearts to your breeding kennel.
Our Sunshine beagles are for Pet Homes Only! We DNA test our line of beagles to prevent anyone using one of our beagle puppies for breeding, which is prohibited; even having one litter could potentially let our many years of work developing our unique pet variety homebody beagles into the hands and evironment of a puppy mill, or a breeding program, especially where tracking ability is improved upon; since we've bred this out of our line, ours would be a disappointment to Hunting Enthusiasts, similar to how little Shiloh in the movie series the Shilloh Trilogy..was a disappointment to his first owner a hunter ,for his lack of desire in that direction!
If you already have a beagle & you are getting one from us of an opposite gender, we ask that you forward a copy of your spaying or neutering receipt, or your vets contact information so that we can verify. Thanks for your understanding of our Pet-Only mission!

Pedigreed Pampered Pets
Show Pedigreed Beagle Bloodlines
Show dogs are typically indoor dogs when not traveling to compete in Dog Shows
1st Place ! We don't normally show dogs but decided to try it for fun at a local show... putting our gorgeous Khaki Stud dog "Cashmere" in the ring for his first time..
he took home the first Place Ribbon and Trophy
|( Show dogs are raised for different purposes ) Unlike hunting lines, show lines are typically bred with traits more favorable to indoor lifestyles, when not out on the road at Dog shows. The Show Bloodlines have also been bred for the Beagle Standards like Beauty, form, coats and obedience. They make excellent calm indoor Pets. Our dogs have many Top NW. Show Champion Ancestors as well as Companion Dog CDX. Titled Champions. We do not plan for our customers to show our dogs, but we love the pets these Bloodlines can produce because they don't have the strong hunting instincts. Over the past 18 yrs of breeding specifically for pets (1990), we have sold our pups into pet homes exclusively.
Mr. Puppy
Note: Below there will be pictures of both our beagles on this page, and for comparison purposes associate with this page there will be pictures of other beagles from other breeder's lines. (so if you see the hunting lines' dog boxes further down, please read the comparison captions & know those aren't associated with our babies! )
Hunting Stock
( Hunting Hounds ) In many hunting-bred kennels, the strongly scent-influenced beagles must be raised in cages. This "up of the ground" tactic keeps the hounds from being able to follow a scent under or over a fence.
We have respect for those field trial and hunting breeders who are improving the beagle breed for the sporting market, and realize that their market is for other Field Trial and hunting enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, there are many Hunting Bloodlines have been sold into pet homes after a breeder has worked with and chosen out his top prospects to improve his line for tracking primarily rabbits, and in many cases these that end up in pet homes were for hundreds of years selectively bred for their talents, rather than necessarily looks, or temperament, etc. Many people are familiar with and have relayed their stories and experience with the Hunting hounds very commonly shedding more and having a hound odor, not found in most show bloodlines, and they are ruled by hunting instinct, rather than love of the family. Many of these tracking lines can also tend to be much more noisy, the bark is louder and longer more of a howl than a bark to alert you of strangers etc. The Pet variety beagles that we have developed by selectively not breeding dogs that display undesirable traits, are much quieter and more appropriate for home and city life. At a certain age almost all hunting bloodline pups instinctively begin to track the scents of animals, understandably as they were bred to do. For many beagle pet owners the unfortunate part is that regardless of how much love, and attention they have given their hunting stock puppy, it begins to try to escape your backyard, or house and go hunt in any wooded area near your home, because that is what makes the hunting bred beagle happy, and they can't be content living out their life in a Pet home with a family that just wanted a beagle to spoil and keep inside the house with them, and got the wrong line of beagles for their intentions. Even though I never taught or encouraged my first three Beagles to hunt, they all began to climb out, dig out, or zoom past me when the door was opened! Chasing your dog in a neighborhood, or getting calls from your neighbors when your dog gets out is not fun. But until moving to Seattle, finding out about the Show dogs they have out there, like many people I did not realize there was a BIG difference in the Blood! Be careful in choosing the type of beagle you want for your home! Be sure you are not getting a puppy from the wrong background and upbringing for what you intend to do with your beagle.
If you intend for it to be an indoor pet dont buy one from a cage or you may find out why its kept that way to keep it in from running off !
( akc requires cement floor kennel runs with chain link to keep dogs separated )
If you intend to hunt or do Field Trials, we encourage you to go to a reputable breeder, who is breeding for the best of those characteristics you desire.
Our Beagles bred & raised to be Companion pets
However if instead you want a constant companion who goes where you go and keeps you company through life...
look for a breeder who breeds for those qualities only ~

Show Bloodline. Their markings are prettier, because dogs are selectively chosen for looks rather than a good nose! ( go to Angel's story page to see how it all began..)
Puppies raised indoors with the family tend to be much easier to housebreak, and better socialized to interact with kids and other pets.. Housebreaking begins at 3 weeks, with our pups learning to go on paper at a young age -vs- those unfamiliarized and raised in cages the way some hunters do it.. According to many of our customers' experience with those types of beagles, some never got the program... and those end up being outside dogs, or given away. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and some folks are able to make a good pet from beagles started from non-pet kennels.
Handling pups from birth makes them much more gentle..
|Gentle Angel loves our new Easter Chick and treats her like her

Great Great- grandma to our line of beagles..
Angel's grandkids inherit her gentle nature allowing our baby ducks to come into their area without harming a feather.
(bottle feeding a baby kid with the dogs looking on.)
Our bloodline originates from the Northwest- Seattle area SHOW CHAMPION dogs we purchased from show kennels for pets, after trying repeatedly to make pets out of southern hunting hounds. What a vast difference in desire! Our dogs wanted to stay indoors with the family with a strong desire to learn from, love, and please the family .. vs the field bloodline beagles I had purchased who wanted to be outside, in the neighboring woods tracking animals, and would escape the fencing to get there and fulfill their calling!
We even raised baby goats seen above, with the dogs, and in 5 years none of the Goat-kids were ever bothered by our beagle pets.
depending on what you want to do with your beagle puppy...
Buy from someone doing what you plan to do..
If you want to Show Dogs, buy from someone who shows them .
If you want to Hunt or do Field Trials with your beagle, buy from someone who does since that's what they are being bred for.
If you want a Family Pet who is happy and content Indoors or in your fenced in yard ..
choose one from a breeder who breeds to improve these qualities and all other traits perfect-for-indoors that make a beagle a wonderful family addition.

Miss Christina years ago dated a Field Trial top knotch breeder/enthusiast. She
gained a great deal of respect for the Field Trial enthusiasists and the work
they do to improve their lines for what the beagle was originally designed and
intended to do. He was very proffessional and had a great kennel and his ethics
were as they should be as he sold only to those looking for what he bred for.
He had many champion Field Trail dogs, and other field trial breeders purhased
from his bloodline. He chose not to sell off the pups that didn't pass all his
requirements to Homes looking for a housepet. He felt that getting calls from
customers down the road that were unhappy that their dog wanted to track animals
was not worth including that market in his business.
We applaud the responsible breeders like us who care about where their puppies spend the remainder of their life, and see to it that its appropriate for the instinct that they have designed it to have.
If you aren't looking to hunt
with your beagle
there's nothing wrong with this dont get us wrong, Miss C's favorite Uncles all hunted and raised beagles very good at it, she grew up with beagle breeders, and loved their dogs.
One- Pascal Moore, was a famous Birddog breeder who also worked years ago to guide hunters using his bird dogs and beagles .
we appreciate those who do it and sell to others who also hunt their dogs, everyone has their specialty in life... ours just focuses in on owners who dont plan to hunt their beagles.
Thats our chosen Niche and we dont try to compete with them for theirs.
It is necessary in order to keep those from digging or climbing out to run off though.
It's that, or a chain link cement floored pen for them to carry out their lives in...
Try making a homebody out of one of those... no wonder they are sold so cheap- they wont stay home!
Are you looking to put a kennel in your yard to contain your pet? or do you want an indoor lap dog?
There are of course respectable hunting-dog breeders, and if you are personally a devoted hunter, then you may not mind the traits, instincts, ect associated with the hunting bred beagles, since he is happily doing his job that he has had generation after generation bred into his blood. However, if you are purely looking for a lovable family beagle, that wants nothing more than to be with you, whether on the couch watching tv, jogging through the neighborhood, sleeping with you in bed, or whatever it is that you are doing, then your are looking for a beagle that has been bred for those member-of-your-family qualities, eliminating the scent-driven mind's instinct and desire to run and hunt, replacing it with a companion-driven desire to observe, learn from and please his respected and beloved master. If you are looking to provide a pet home, You don't want to have to chase your stereotypical hunting-happy beagle through the streets, or sit at home with the kids worrying about where your dog is, and if he's okay. You want a companion beagle, who isn't waiting by the door for a chance to get out into a world of scents, but is instead at your doorstep after a quick potty break, wanting more than anything to come back in the house just like everyday and get back to being your pampered, canine family member.
We sometimes joke about the 2 types of beagles, the ones that just wants out, and ours that just want back in.
come Dot, lets go inside!

Trust me I know from experience; this is me on my front porch where I would find my first Beagle "Katie" every morning after she would climb right over our nice big fenced backyard and go hunting in the near-by woods. Finally I feared for her safety as the woods became developed near our house and she had to cross busy streets to get back home.. I gave her to a family out in the country who had a farm. Ever wonder why you often see FREE BEAGLE ads in the paper? Someone has made the mistake of trying to make a pet out of one of the cheap hunting stock puppies.. It doesn't work.. Been there done that.. But the good news is.. There are Pet Variety Beagles available here !! You get what you pay for, ours last a lifetime. 10-15 years.. instead of till they learn to run off and hunt !!
Field Beagles and Gun Dogs
| My 3rd Beagle "Aubie" was bought from a hunter- I tried to
make an apartment dog out of her... with no success.. she never was housebroken
completely, so I walked her a lot. At the time I managed an apt complex in
Tampa Fla. and could go home for lunch with her. Anytime someone came to
the door she would fly past my legs and be gone for hours tracking squirrels and
whatever she could sniff out in the nearby neighborhoods.. I would chase after
her repeatedly.. finally after moving to Seattle she got out of her yard
and was hit crossing the road
and I spoke to my vet there who told me about the Show Bloodline Pet variety
beagles in the North West. Once I bought one (Angel) I knew I needed to
bring that type of Beagle to the South.
Aubie was very aloof and never liked to snuggle or sit on my lap etc. When moving to the NW. she hid under the front seat of our u-haul rather than sitting on my lap for the trip as our dogs now would to be close to us.
Purchased out of a cage in Tampa Florida from a Preacher who Hunted." Aubie" my 3rd Beagle.
Beagles as well as many other breeds are also often raised for pet store and flea market quick sales,
in extremely small confined areas such as these pictured below
A puppy mill housing in Georgia
These kennels do not provide any yard or exercise area for the poor animals to socialize and/or get the needed human interaction/ play time outside to keep them happy and healthy over their years of forced confinement up off the ground.
pet stores sell puppies that come from breeders who apparently don't care to know where their dogs end up, which could be this same environment for all they know or care.
We NEVER sell to pet stores, breeders, hunters, or anyone planning to resell our unique bloodline in order to be sure this never happens to one of our babies.
Breeders that sell to petstores have no way of knowing the customer, and ever getting any input on the positive or negative traits in that dog's parents' line. Reputable Breeders know that by brining in and combing different lines to avoid inbreeding, there can be herditary issues that they are unaware of that don't surface immediately until a specific genetic combinationcan enhances that genetic defect to come up farther down the line, and the only way they will know this is if the pet owner tells them, we saw this comment recently which really sums it up: "Sometimes health issues aren't discovered until farther down the line. No reputable breeder should be disqualified if they didn't know about the hereditary problem but does take action to clean it from their breeding program."
A breeder selling to pet stores can't get the necessary feedback that a reputable breeder values. Sometimes its a certain pair of adults' genetics being combined that brings out a defect. A reputable breeder wants customer input so that they can continue to improve their breeding program and retire certain parents when and if there is any genetic issues that comes up later, into their own pet homes. A petstore has no commitment to the ongoing improvement of any bloodline and usually customers have no way of connecting to the original owners/breeder that sold the litter unscrupulously.

in the pic on the left, I took when I backed up to snap their photo Christi tipped over so Angel put her paw on her leg to hold her up!!
Two years later (may 1992) she did the same with my son Cody as well !
After raising the kids around such a wonderful companion, Miss Christina decided to stay home with her kids and dogs, and devote her life and career to developing beagles for families to enjoy like ours. This is a family mission in order to provide other families like our own with beagles strictly for pets, and to always have puppies around for the kids to enjoy and satisfy our need for a puppy fix! We have also developed an extensive website to share our addiction with other folks across america who enjoy our family-oriented version of baby beagles and all picture and updates !
Our puppies are born in our home, so we are constantly around them, and our adults enjoy our big wooded acreage property, where they can play and get the exercise. We love each one as they grow up here in our home and look for just the right home for each one to join!
we want our dogs to grow up to be great Indoor Beagle companions to their new family and the many adorable photos our customers share of the pups confirm we are making wonderful matches for families to enjoy !
two of our khaki pups go to a family without kids and get a room of their own to share !

(We have lots of e-mails, updates
& pictures sent from many of our happy
customers posted on our Happy Families pages & Got Two pages for you to
(Providence Rd. "Champ" his mom says he proves dogs don't hurt hardwood floors, they don't have a fenced yard so he learned not to go off their back deck. She also says she is not allergic to his less shedding type fur- we hear this a lot, awesome! )
Lucy's owners say that unlike their previous 2 beagles, "Lucy doesn't bring home
dead rabbits, shed much, or cause any of the family to have to take Allergy

(Sunshine Acres Stanley) one of our previous homes in NC. before moving to Monroe NC.
Christi playing with "Snoopy" before we sold him in our first family home in the North West
Woodinville Washington near Seattle. where our bloodline of companion pets originated before we moved back to the South.
At 2yrs & at 10yrs.
Snoopy's family writes and sends pictures of him over the years.. They even buy him a "dog" after we move south.
They say he is a member of the family, she is just a dog.!!
they keep in touch by Christmas Cards over the years and tell us his personality far outweighed hers.
He was snuggly and loving, she was distant and frightened acting.
They also added she had the hound dog odor they had heard about. Snoopy needed far fewer baths over the years, they said he just shined and shed much less than her coat did.
Other beaglers arent focusing on coat qualities as we do here at sunshine acres.
"Wilbur" the runt ( we got his name from the runt in Charlotte's Web) he is with litter mates of all colors! he is the silver and white one at top between two light blond lemon beagles.
This silver beagle was purchased for an elderly lady who lived at the outer banks. Her neighbor saw our ad in the Charlotte Observer and drove over to bring one to her. He picked the little silver runt because he matched her hair he said ! She later wrote me and told me how much she loved Wilbur. She said he is so spoiled he gets to sleep with her !!
Let us provide you with a Companion Pet to enjoy !
-vs-a hunting bred Beagle bloodline bred to track animals, often known to leave your yard to do so ..
After viewing all our helpful sunshine acres beagle puppy topics,
Once you are sure that you want a puppy from Sunshine Acres Beagles,
Ask us about an available puppy, or you can join the waiting list for the option of choosing from just the right babies for you! Quite often our waiting list lines are satisfied in certain categories and we make puppies available to approved homes, or those who in the meanwhile went ahead and got pre-approved so that when they're ready, they would be individually contacted for as specific of a type of puppy as they desire. Some folks have a very defined look that they're hoping to adopt from us, and they are willing to patiently wait until we have one that matches their dream puppy that they can consider, while others who have read through all our detailed pages and the many happy families letters, pictures & updates (found on Happy Families pages) just know they want a sunshine beagle, and the chance to claim their own when it all works perfectly for them!
they are worth a small wait on your dream new best friend for life
(as evidenced by the many return
customers and refferals we get from current customers to their friends and
family who meet our babies across the Nation.. )
Folks drive here in RV.s, Fly here on planes, and come by car, from
near, and far, flying in from California, Miami, and so on to adopt their own
Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppy..
They are worth it ! Once claiming one of our puppies for yourself, you can watch for updated pictures as he/she & the littermates grow, until it is time for your puppy to come home. Buy your new buddy and have them around for 10-17 years, or look in the paper and purchase an offered over the weekend puppy you know nothing about to spend time with every day , cuddling with , or playing outside. Getting a new puppy is a commitment- Don't simply jump on the quickest availability you find in the paper; in many cases the cage raised beagle pups that families have come across is fearful and or timid to say the least, its often not that a rescued beagle is fearful due to the fact that someone has mistreated as it is often simily that that timid behavior is bred into that puppy from genetics and they will show that behavior whether abused or not unfortunately. sometimes its thru no fault of the breeder and its in their genes to be shy. If you are looking for a Hunting or Field Trial Beagle, we do encourage you to seek out a reputable hunting or field trial breeder that has worked to also improve his lines in those areas that you desire; know where your new puppy / lifelong dog is coming from and how it was raised for your purposes.
We appreciate everyone's patience especially during
such times
soft less shedding silver girl "Starlet" and littermates @ 5 weeks have learned to play with their toys and use paper, keeping their bed clean.
Christi hadto keep her favorite baby starlet! She and boyfriend Jake worked together to raise this cutie.

Get ready for the 2014 dive season
Posted by Natacha Gajdoczki
The 2014 dive season is underway and if you aren't ready to grab your dive bag and head off for your next exotic location, what are you waiting for? Before you strap on your gear, be sure that you are completely prepared for another season of underwater adventures. It takes more than the right gear to get you ready for everything the water will throw in your direction. Your body must be prepared for rough conditions as well as the physical and lung strength it takes to successfully complete a dive.
Don't get out of shape during your off-season. Before you plan a dive, get a quick health and fitness assessment to ensure that you are safely taking the plunge. You may not have to be in Iron Man shape, but it is important to not have any injuries or health issues that may affect your ability to dive. Consult a medical professional to give you the green light if you have recently had any changes in health. Diving will give you a good workout, so be sure that your legs, glutes and core are ready for the journey.

Church Point shootings
By Howell Dennis
CROWLEY – A disagreement over a set of tires Saturday night led to one man being killed and three others injured at a house where a birthday party was being held in Church Point last Saturday night.
Jonathan Lee Citizen, 29, of Martin Luther King St. in Church Point, arrived at the birthday party in at approximately 8:30 p.m. and a disagreement ensued where Citizen struck a man in the face before leaving.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. Citizen returned in his car and committed a drive-by shooting striking one person in the leg and above the right eye.
The incident was then reported to the Church Point Police Department who began looking for Citizen. The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Department was called in shortly afterward to join the investigation.
However, Citizen again returned to the same residence armed with a .22 rifle where he again began shooting and struck another male subject in the leg and shoulder. Citizen was then approached Paul Reginald Landry, who knew Citizen, and pleaded with him to stop shooting.
Citizen responded by shooting him seven times, striking him in the chest, back, and head area. Landry was pronounced dead at the scene by the Acadia Parish Coroner's Office.
"It's very upsetting," said Acadia Parish Sheriff Wayne Melancon during a press conference Tuesday morning. "We see things like this on the national news and now it's hitting close to home."
"Our sympathies go out to the Landry family," said Melancon. "This was a man who was simply trying to stop the suspect, acting as a peacemaker, and he ended up dying for it."
During the investigation, Church Point Police Chief Albert Venable stated that he received a phone call stating that Citizen was seen at a nightclub in the Opelousas area. He was arrested without incident by the Opelousas Police Department.
"This was a joint investigation between the Church Point Police Department and the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office," stated Sheriff Wayne Melancon. "I would also like to thank the Opelousas Police for their assistance in apprehending Mr. Citizen."
Citizen has been charged with attempted second degree murder, second degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and second degree battery.
His bond has been set at $1,000,015 by District Judge Kristian Earles.

International Study Day
We are delighted to announce a call for participants for Liturgy in History, an international study day for graduate students and early career researchers at Queen Mary's Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies.
Liturgy in History: a full-day workshop exploring liturgy in practice in the medieval and early-modern periods.
When: Tuesday 19th November, 9:30 – 17:00 (lunch provided)
Where: Queen Mary, Mile End Campus, room tbc
One of the most exciting developments in medieval, renaissance and early modern studies over the past decade has been a renewed historical appreciation of liturgical sources. Liturgies, so crucial to understanding the lived experiences of religion, were seedbeds for cultural production across Europe, and were deeply contested in the changing confessional landscapes of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Liturgy in History will provide a unique opportunity to engage with liturgical sources and access the expertise of researchers in the field.
Three speakers – Professor Nils Holger Petersen (University of Copenhagen), Professor Emma Dillon (King's College London) and Dr. Beth Williamson (University of Bristol) – will guide participants through the structure and formulae of liturgical sources. The musical, visual, architectural and performative aspects of the liturgy will all be carefully considered and approaches to liturgy re-interrogated. The day will culminate in a trip to a nearby renaissance church which will help situate them in their context. We would be delighted to welcome international participants and students from diverse disciplines, to reflect the multidisciplinary focus of the day itself.
Participants will not only have the opportunity to learn more about the current state of liturgical research but will also be given the chance to offer their own insights into this pivotal aspect of medieval and early modern studies.
If you would like to join us or would like to be sent more info (including a provisional schedule) please email Hetta Howes (email@example.com). Attendance will be free of charge, but places are limited to ensure discussion and participation, so it is essential that you book your place.
Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you in November!

Smart Money Moves in a Tough Economy
From the Fall 2010 issue of Reaching Higher: The Binghamton University School of Management Magazine
By Steve Seepersaud
When the economic outlook was rosier – a more distant memory with each passing day – Robert Kline '86, MBA '90 had most of his portfolio in the stock market. For many people in their 40s, that was playing by the book. However, the way things work in theory is often different than in real time.
After the stock market dropped precipitously in the fall of 2008, half of Kline's retirement nest egg vanished. Even though he still had time on his side – about 20 years to go until retirement – he chose to be proactive, making moves that eventually brought his portfolio back to 80 percent of its pre-recession value.
Despite its volatility, the stock market is still a good place to be, says Kline and several SOM faculty, especially if investors have a long horizon before retirement and they're spreading the wealth around.
Kline, a 46-year-old certified financial planner with The Bay Ridge Group in Endwell, N.Y., estimates that about 80 percent of his money was in the stock market two years ago. After suffering heavy losses, he was concerned that the market would only inflict more pain in 2009. So, he moved 30 percent of his stock investments into real estate, gold and commodities. Kline also put 20 percent into the municipal bond market, figuring it wouldn't suffer another once-in-a-lifetime correction anytime soon.
"The theory is that when these alternative categories zig, the stock market zags, and vice versa," Kline says. "I timed it right because those particular categories did very well, and the stock market also rebounded."
To say gold has done well is an understatement. Over the past four years, prices for gold futures have consistently tracked upward, while the stock market has done just the opposite. Gold is now at the highest levels ever seen and, according to TheStreet.com, Goldman Sachs analysts predict that prices will climb to $1,300 per ounce early in 2011.
Murali Jagannathan, associate professor of finance, says gold is often considered as a hedge against other assets, especially stocks. However, a hedge implies that its value should go up when stock prices fall. While there is some evidence of negative correlation between stock markets and gold, he says it's unclear whether this explains the changes in price over the past few years.
"Its value should derive from its use in the manufacture of electronics or costume jewelry," Jagannathan says. "Indians are one of largest consumers of gold and their appetite for buying gold appears to increase with how well their economy is doing, But, if gold's increase in value over the last few years is solely driven by investors worried about the stock market – and I do not think so – we may be in another bubble. Do your homewor, and think about whether the price you pay is worth it."
Those who are more comfortable with the tried and true should find the stock market yielding returns of five to six percent, according to School of Management Dean Upinder S. Dhillon. Expecting returns of 10 or 12 percent is simply not reasonable in today's environment, he says.
"Don't try to pick stocks. More than 50 percent of the money managers don't outperform the market so that should tell you something about individuals trying to do that," Dhillon said. "I'm not in favor of picking sectors because I think the market is smarter than I am. I've seen money managers get killed because they picked the wrong sector."
Although diversification is one of the most elementary financial lessons, one of Kline's clients serves as a living example of how easily the concept can be forgotten. A widow in her mid 70s, she had the bulk of her wealth invested in one particular bank stock, which carried sentimental value because she inherited the stock from her husband who bought in many years ago. Despite Kline's repeated warnings that she was overinvested in the stock, she held on, figuring the investment would carry its value perpetually. In the span of one year, she watched her $800,000 in bank stock turn into $100,000. While she still receives dividend checks, she's one crisis away from being wiped out.
"People get greedy. They see stocks going up and don't want to take the money off the table, and they don't want to pay the capital gains taxes," Kline says. "But, they're so much better off doing that than watching the stock decline in value."
Kline has been encouraging clients in their 50s to move existing money in their 401(k) accounts into more conservative funds, while investing new contributions more aggressively. He says fixed annuities are popular with this age group, as people like the idea of locking in and being shielded from market losses. In 2009, investors purchased a record-high amount of equity-indexed annuities, seeking similar safety.
"People will trade growth potential in return for that guarantee," Kline says. "Younger people, say in their 30s and 40s, are asking about these funds, but I steer them away from them because they're younger and have plenty of time to work with."
The bond market ? where people typically invest money they don't want subjected to the volatility of the stock market ? is of particular concern to Jagannathan and Dennis Lasser, associate professor of finance. That's because inflation has been little to nonexistent. After a summer of falling prices, deflation, which could drag down the economy for years, emerged as a distinct possibility.
"I look at yields and see that IBM issued three bonds at one percent," Jagannathan says. "And corporate bonds are taxable, so that's not much return. What worries me is that people need returns from their investments. How are they going to survive the next decade?"
In addition to deflation, economists are concerned about the economy bottoming out again. Fears of a double-dip recession came to the surface when Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on July 21, "The economic outlook remains unusually uncertain." Lasser says that while we're not out of the woods, a double-dip is not likely. Instead, we should continue to see growth, but it will be slow and steady.
"The recovery is taking longer than I had hoped, but we're coming out of the biggest hit to the economy in about 80 years," Lasser says. "Look what happened in 1929, and it took 10 years to get back out of that."

Each of the Jets' past two wins have come via fourth-quarter comebacks, and perhaps that is fitting. If this 7-5 team makes the playoffs, it will be through resilience, the art of bouncing back from a tough spot.
The toughest spot so far this season may have been in the wake of a frustrating loss in Denver on Nov. 17. a game that left coach Rex Ryan's eyes red, a proud defense humbled and a team stunned. That was when the Jets, left guard Matt Slauson said, even felt some panic.
"There was a point after the Denver game there where it did seem like the panic button had been pressed a little bit," Slauson said on a conference call yesterday. "There were a couple days there, and also the three-game losing stretch at the beginning, things weren't going the way we all expected them to go. I think we were all kind of caught a little off guard at both of those points, so it was kind of difficult to deal with."
The Jets responded with critical wins against the Buffalo Bills and at the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but they must keep winning in the fourth quarter of the season. Four teams are essentially tied for the AFC's second wild-card spot, and it was last month in the thin air of the Mile High City where the Jets' breathing room was all used up.
Their three-game losing streak early in the season was trying, especially when internal fractures in the locker room showed publicly. But Slauson felt the nadir of this season has been the Broncos loss, when the Jets allowed Tim Tebow to march his team 95 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 58 seconds left.
"Our three-game losing stretch at the beginning was tough, but the feeling after the Denver game was even a lot more intense than that, because we knew that we shouldn't have lost to Denver," Slauson said. "We definitely had the ability and the game plan to do it, but it was just poor team execution. We felt like that loss in particular was kind of on us as players, we just didn't really show up, and it also put us in a position where it made things a lot more difficult for the postseason. So the reaction around the team was really down, and it was really difficult to put that behind us."
So how did they? There wasn't a dramatic turning point like a fiery plea from Ryan or a players-only meeting, players said. But they changed their focus, to getting back to the basics and worrying about their individual jobs. Slauson said many players had been caught up trying to do more than their assignments, or worrying about how other units are playing.
Nose tackle Sione Pouha, a captain, saw a difference in the accountability players showed, to themselves and the team. Ryan's message when the team reconvened after the Denver game was that this is a great team — it just needs to play like one, in all three phases, for 60 minutes. And it needs to work harder to do so.
"The more important thing is how you react to pressing the (panic) button," Pouha said.
"Are you going to fold under pressure or be able to get yourselves ready to perform? I think after that game we have been able to not only respond with urgency, but we've also responded to the fact that we're not a team that's going to fold under pressure or a team that's just going to press the panic button and just let fate take itself, but take fate in our hands."
The Jets' two wins since Denver may not have come in the easiest or prettiest fashion. The Buffalo game came down to the final seconds. The Redskins win was earned in the final five minutes, not the first 55.
"Our goal is intact, even though it looked really bad a few weeks ago," Ryan said. "Our first year here, we really struggled to make the playoffs, but we always believed that if we could get in there, we could do some damage. That's what we plan on doing this year."
