Golf Development Is Booming Outside the U.S.
Though a slumping economy has stalled construction in the U.S., golf development is flourishing in many parts of the world, in destinations as diverse as Dubai, Moscow, China and the Dominican Republic.
In fact, it could be argued that development, more than any other catalyst, is driving the growth of the game in these emerging markets where new wealth and golf's affluent appeal intersect. But it's important to note that nurturing grass-roots participation often is a byproduct of other motives: selling real estate and fostering tourism.
Developers are doing more than just altering the physical landscape of international golf. In some cases, they're even shaping the future of professional tours overseas, creating a hierarchy among them and influencing when and where tournaments will be played. And in an ever-shrinking world, that trend ultimately will determine where the world's top golfers - and sponsors - will go.
China's Mission Hills Golf Club - at first regarded as little more than a novelty by Western golf aficionados, the massive resort north of Hong Kong continues to expand and enhance its global profile.
Initially, Mission Hills marketed itself as the largest golf club in the world, with 180 holes. Today, it still holds that honor, adding two more layouts for 12 courses at a single compound. ("Our members were getting bored with only 10," says Tenniel Chu, the resort's executive director.)
Last November it began a 12-year deal to host the Omega Mission Hills World Cup through 2018.
"Let me be very frank: If holding tournaments was for the profit making, we wouldn't break even, not even close," Chu says. "At the beginning, we underwrote it all just to make the (World Cup) deal happen. The prize money alone was $5 million last year. This is truly to raise awareness of the game in China. If you grow the pie, we will all win at the end of the day."
Mission Hills' investment already is paying off. In its early days, the resort relied almost exclusively on golf tourists from Hong Kong. Now, 40 percent of rounds come from domestic play, another 40 percent from Hong Kong and 20 percent from international guests.
"When we first started, there were less than 10,000 golfers in all of China, so it was a very scary proposition to build a golf club," Chu says. "But we wanted to create a platform to complement the economic boom of China. Mission Hills was made to do business networking, inviting expatriates and foreigners to invest and have confidence in the new China."
The significance of that mission finally might be dawning, especially with the Beijing Summer Olympics providing a global audience a close-up of China's economic might.
If you take in the staggering statistics about China, and there are people who will say the same thing about India - if you ignore these markets, you do so at your own peril.

OK, Mr. Muhammad, tell me the story about your father talking to you about calling Cassius, about changing his name.
Yes, ah, yes, ah, why, when, ah, my father called me on the phone about changing, ah, ah, Cassius Clay name to Muhammad Ali--Ali was in training for this upcoming Sonny Liston fight, and he told me that get in touch with him if I could and let him know that his name was, has been changed, he was changing his name from Cassius Marcellus Clay, to Muhammad Ali. And that this name would connect him with five billion Muslims all around the world, and they would rally behind him and he would become like a Statue of Liberty in the harbor of New York, that everyone would want to see him and, ah, that everyone would want his autograph. And this have became a fact.
I want to ask you that one again
OK, Mr. Ali, Mr. Muhammad, tell me about your father talking to you about calling Ali, to change his name Clay.
Yes. My, my father called me concerning to change, ah, Mu- Cassius Clay name at the time, to Muhammad Ali, because in our, ah, religious organization at that time, we, our philosophy was that the Black people, the once slaves should not carry the name of their once slave masters, that theys[SIC], they name should be identified with, with their origin, and since Muhammad Ali was a Muslim, he should carry a Muslim name. And that name he gave him was "Muhammad Ali," and he told me if--
That was good, they ran out, that was good, that was good, you ran out--
OK, Mr. Muhammad, tell me about your father calling and talking to you about calling Clay and changing his name and why he had to change his name and what it would mean.
Yes, my father called me, this was in the early '60s, in February, ah, when Ali was, ah, at that time called Cassius Clay, but he was getting ready for his upcoming fight against Sonny Liston. My father called me and told me that, ah, to call Ali and get in touch with him and let him know that his name should not be Cassius Clay, that Cassius Clay identifies him with his slave master. And since he's a Muslim he's a free man, and he's a free person, and he's, and a Muslim, and id- identifies him with five billion Muslim all around the world, and his name would be known as Muhammad Ali, ah, from and on. And--

2013 Lib Tech T-Rice PRO (Video)
Hello fellow boarders,
Just thought I'd give a little review for the 2013 Lib Tech T-Rice Pro.
I'm fairly new to the sport (third season) so please bare with me through the n00b cycle.
I bought this board with the intention of going faster, and it has definitely delivered. The C2BTX seems to offer some wicked dampening that makes it feel sturdy in transitions at high speeds. The magne-traction is also a nice feature when it comes to carving; I board mainly on the East coast and it chews through the hard pack snow/ice we get here.
I only have 1 board to compare it with but it is definitely night and day between the 2. As expected though, since the first board I got is intended for park riding ('11 Drake Urban 149.)
It is on the stiffer end, but the nose and tail still give a nice pop when enough pressure is applied.
I wish I had more boards to compare it with, but I think it's safe to say, that this board is made for anyone who likes to charge hard.
Board material quality seems to be on the higher end; I get a lot of compliments on the bio beans top sheet.
Had a little outting this weekend and managed to get some shots on the Contour of the board in action.
I have the T-Rice Pro combo'd up with '14 Burton Cartel Bracks and '14 Van Aura BOA boots.

Food and Drug Law as Intellectual Property Law: Historical Reflections
Kara W. Swanson
Northeastern University - School of Law
April 15, 2011
Wisconsin Law Review, Vol. 2011, Issue 2, pp. 331-398
Northeastern University School of Law Research Paper No. 49-2011
This Article returns to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to consider food and drug law as intellectual property law. Today, Americans are engaged in two separate debates about food and drugs. One centers on the safety of these consumables, and the effectiveness of the Food and Drug Administration. The other is spurred by serious questions of equity involving the ownership and pricing of patented pharmaceuticals and crops, and centers on patent law and the Patent and Trademark Office. These debates were once part of a single broad conversation about food and drugs. This Article uses an historical perspective to understand the separation of these debates and to consider the opportunities that arise from considering food and drug law as intellectual property law. It argues both that early food and drug law was influenced by intellectual property concerns and that the separation of intellectual property policy from federal food and drug regulation was neither inevitable nor inconsequential. Drawing on the history of science, technology, and medicine, this Article reexamines the early pure-food-and-drug movement as, in part, an anti-intellectual-property movement. It uncovers the opposition to trade secrets that supported an alliance between medical opponents to proprietary medicines and agricultural opponents to artificial foods that successfully supported early federal food and drug regulation, and the simultaneous failure of a medical campaign against drug patents. By considering the historical shift in the pharmaceutical market from trade secrets to patents in relation to the recent trend toward patents in agribusiness, this Article considers the lessons from history for a reunification of food and drug policy with intellectual property policy.

More details emerged today about the flamboyant lifestyle of Kim Dotcom, the multimillionaire founder of Megaupload.com who is accused by the FBI of internet piracy and money laundering.
Mr Dotcom - a German who legally changed his name from Kim Schmitz - was arrested last week after police burst into the panic room of his NZ$30 million (£15 million) rented New Zealand mansion. A court was told today that he had been found in possession of an illegal sawn-off shotgun.
The German was charged with criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit racketeering as the FBI shut his Hong Kong-based website - which

They're stacking quality start upon quality start. They've got the back of the bullpen straightened out. They've got the old Brad Lidge back. Only the Dodgers had a better staff ERA in August. Now it's about finding out if this run is too little too late.
(While we're on the subject of numbers, the Astros suddenly have an offense. They were sixth in the NL in runs in August, fourth in homers and fifth in on-base percentage. And in the final week of the month, they got their mojo back.)
The Astros have cut their deficit from seven games to 2 1/2 in a week. Since I wrote that they needed a 26-8 finish, they're 6-0. They trailed seven teams this time last week. They trail three after Thursday's victory.
Lost in the comebacks of 2004 and 2005 is the fact that the competition played poorly during the final months. The Astros took advantage of their chances, clinching playoff spots on the final day of the regular season both years, but they couldn't have done it without some help.
Here we go again. The Astros are competing with eight or nine teams for two spots. They've got the best pitching and defense. What's working against them is that all the teams they're competing with probably won't fall apart. But this franchise has given us a lot of fun the last two summer and appear set to do so again.
This run began after some know-it-alls (that would be me) declared the season over. Inside the clubhouse, the Astros pretty much agree. They just weren't going to quit because the numbers said they were dead. If nothing else, they could play in a less pressurized situation. Having cut the deficit from seven to three so quickly, they're playing in a must-win situation almost every night. And they're accustomed to it.
The Astros have three walk-off victories this season. Booming home runs? Screaming double in the gap? Uh, no. Our boys have won twice on sacrifice flies and once on that strange infield grounder Wednesday night. They all look like line drives in the box score. The Astros are one of five teams without a walk-off home run. The Cubs, Rockies, Angels, Royals, and White Sox don't have one either.
Notes from the field…
Dan Wheeler allowed his first run since the All-Star Break on Thursday.
Willy Taveras entered Thursday's game second in hits in the NL this month. He was tied with Carl Crawford and Hanley Ramirez for the MLB lead in stolen bases.
Aubrey Huff leads the Astros with 23 RBIs this month.
The Astros lead the big leagues with 35 shutouts the last three seasons.
Brad Lidge hasn't allowed a run in seven straight appearances.
Houston relievers have a 2.94 ERA since the All-Star Break.
The Rocket has allowed two runs or less in 12 of his 14 starts. In 79 starts for the Astros, Clemens is 37-16 with a 2.41 ERA.
Adam Everett has made four errors in 123 games and one in his last 75. He has played 53 consecutive games without making one.
Johan Santana threw 23 of 27 first-pitch strikes on Thursday. Of his 109 pitches, 80 were strikes.
Bill Plaschke takes a look at the Southern boy who is doing OK in LA–Grady Little.
Bud Selig should suspend Marlins president David Samson. The sooner the better.
Greg Maddux has gotten five of his 12 victories against the Reds.

If you are leaving for Florida soon for Spring Break, or you are there right now, there is a bunch of weather to talk about.
The top graphic shows all of the weather advisories and weather warnings in effect as of noon Tuesday.
There is still an issue driving south out of Michigan. The snowstorm has ended in Ohio, but the colder air diving south is making the hills and mountains in the Appalachians hazardous.
It is still a much better drive taking I-75 to Florida, as opposed to the prettier drive of I-77.
The hills and mountains in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia are expecting over four inches of snow above elevations of 1500 feet.
Cold air continues to move into the deep south
The cold air here in Michigan continues to plunge southward and has made it into Florida.
Definitely pack a few sweatshirts, some pants, and a heavy jacket for the trip to Florida.
Tonight and Wednesday night many areas of Florida will drop into the 30s! There could even be some frost. Southern Florida will be chilly too, with overnight lows in the 40s.
The second graphic shows the afternoon high temperatures in Florida on Wednesday.
It will be chilly. Wednesday won't be a beach day. Plan on doing the sightseeing thing with the family on Wednesday and Thursday.
The good side to the weather on Wednesday and Thursday is the sky in Florida should be mostly sunny.
Beach days are ahead for some Spring Breakers
The classic college Spring Break spot of Panama City, Florida will stay chilly this week.
If you head into the southern half of Florida, however, weather conditions will be much warmer.
The graphic shows high temperatures this coming Saturday. Although the temperatures won't be blistering hot, it should warm enough to get some beach time in around Tampa and points southward.
Next week warmer and occasionally wet in Florida
You'll want to watch the weather with me next week if you are going to be in Florida.
There will be some beach days, and some time periods to shop inside.
The temperatures will be warmer statewide next week. The panhandle and Panama City will finally warm into the low 70s at least. Southern Florida will flirt with 80 degrees a few days next week.
There does look to be two rounds of significant rain next week. It's hard to tell the exact time right now. I'm thinking these rains will be six hour bursts of rain and storms.
I'll keep you updated with always current radar like the above loop.
Remember to stay safe in Florida and warm areas now.
Florida is number one in lightning strikes, and injuries related to lightning.
If you hear thunder, the storm is close enough to produce a lightning strike near you.
You should be inside a solid building if you hear thunder.
You should wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before you hit the beach again.
Need your Spring Break forecast?
I've covered Florida, and will continue to do so for the next week. If you have another location you'd like me to check out, ask in the comments below.
If you could, bring back a little sunshine and warmer weather please!

A witness said firefighters have not controlled the fire and continue to fight it from several angles.
Witnesses say six units are afire in the multi-unit building.
Other residents in nearby buildings have been evacuated and ordered back from the fire.

Think back for a minute and try to remember the most difficult physical activity you ever tried.
Maybe it was football two-a-days, running a marathon, the rigors of boot camp, training for boxing, karate or mixed martial arts. There are tons of answers to this question and none are wrong.
I know mine. It was high school wrestling.
I've played football, baseball, basketball, attempted to box and tried jujitsu for a few months. More recently I've been using the P90X workout. None of them have come close to the training it takes to wrestle, which is why I give Corri Sayre so much credit.
Sayre is a female wrestler at Howland High School. Scratch that. She is the female wrestler at Howland. She's the only girl to ever try out for the team in 57 years of the sport. Sayre, a senior, has participated since she was a freshman, and while she hasn't yet cracked the starting lineup, she's enjoyed a lot of success at the junior varsity level.
The mere fact that she's been a member of the team for three years is an incredible accomplishment in itself. The conditioning, the mental toughness, the bumps, the bruises, the scrapes and the ever-loving exhaustion that wrestlers endure on a daily basis is ridiculous. Any wrestling coach will tell you that if you can make it through a wrestling season, you can do just about anything as far as physical activity goes.
Sayre has completed three, and she did it on one of the best wrestling teams in northeast Ohio - Howland finished 10th in the state in Division II last year. And she doesn't intend on stopping anytime soon.
"I had to build up my confidence a lot," said Sayre of her first few years on the team. "I don't think I gave myself as much credit as I should. The fact is, I'm a girl, and I'm going in this room five days a week, two hours a night and I'm not wrestling no 103-(pound wrestlers), I'm wrestling 160-pound men. They're like full-grown men. So I had to give myself more credit for what I was doing. How many girls do you see out there doing this?
"But I'm here to win," she added. "I want to be the best I can be."
That tenacity is what Howland coach Bill Beasom said has kept Sayre coming back, despite some tough times. Sayre has only wrestled two varsity matches (both losses) in her three seasons, and she admits that going up against the Tigers' middleweights on a daily basis can be a struggle. Still, as Beasom said, she doesn't quit - ever.
"I saw a will to compete," said Beasom of his first impression of Sayre, when she joined the team her freshman year. "Her biggest attribute is her toughness. She's aggressive and she never backs down."
Some question whether women should be allowed to wrestle on high school teams because of the gender inequality it can present in sports. For example, how would volleyball coaches feel if a male joined the team? That's a discussion for another day, but people like Sayre make it seem like a moot point.
Beasom, a former Howland state placer who's been around the sport since he was a kid, has absolutely no problem with Sayre being part of the team.
"She's honestly been a great contributor to our program," he said.
Her teammates don't seem to mind either.
Sayre is a four-time state champion of the Ohio State Girls Wrestling Tournament. Just this past March she placed third at United State Girls Wrestling Association national tournament, the first time she's placed nationally. The Tigers have taken notice of her success.
"My sophomore year, right before I went to state, they got me a card and told me good luck," she said. "It kind of shows I'm part of the team when they come up and ask how I did and all that."
There's an outside shot she could make Howland's starting lineup this season, which would be an incredible accomplishment considering the level of competition she faces on her own team. But it won't be easy.
"A couple of years ago there was a really good girl from Austintown," said Beasom of former Falcons wrestler Sarah Guerrier. "She was ranked No. 1 in the country (among females), but she couldn't make the lineup. That's how tough it is."
Either way, Sayre is happy she stuck with wrestling this long. Regardless of whether she becomes a starter, she said she has gained a great deal of discipline and self confidence from the sport.
"I feel like I can take on anything," said Sayre, who has beaten her share of boys over the years, earning a 9-6 JV record in 2012. "They get so mad. They really do. A lot of times they'll have a little smirk on their face when I go out there because they look at me like they don't know what to do. Then they realize I'm not here (to mess around), and that smirk goes away and they get all serious."
They better. Sayre certainly is.

Southern Oregon Wildfire Destroys Homes, Forces Evacuations Northeast of Klamath Falls
A fast-moving wildfire in southern Oregon expanded Monday, swallowing an unknown number of structures and forcing the evacuation of more than 100 residents.
The fire started at around 2 p.m. local time Sunday in a residential area about an hour's drive to the northeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Initially, the fire was just around 75 acres, but swelled Sunday thanks to an abundance of dry timber and brush. As of 1 a.m. local time Monday the fire had grown to more than 4 1/2 square miles, according to the Associated Press.
Some of those flames consumed structures in the area, but because of the intense flames fire crews couldn't reach the affected areas to determine just how many buildings had been compromised.
Unfortunately, weather conditions conducive to helping fight the blaze don't appear to be on the way anytime soon, according to weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman.
"What would really help is rain, but there is no rain in sight," Erdman said. "Southwest Oregon is in the heart of its dry season. Only one inch of rain falls, on average, in the entire month of July."
"Unfortunately, the heat will continue, with daytime highs soaring into the mid-90s through Wednesday, with only a slight cool-down later this week."
And so with the fire still growing into the evening hours Sunday, Klamath County sheriff's deputies went door-to-door in the Moccasin Hills subdivision to evacuate more than 100 people along Sprague River Drive and North Arrowhead Lane, KVAL reports.
Nineteen fire engines and "numerous air responders" are fighting the blaze, Oregon Live reports. The investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing.

The nation's largest Presbyterian denomination has rejected a proposal to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies to be performed in the church.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) narrowly defeated a resolution to redefine marriage from a union between a man and a woman to a union between "two people."
The body deliberated the issue for more than three hours on Friday. The final vote was 338-308.
Gay marriage supporters in the denomination will have to wait two years until the church's next national convention to bring the matter up again.
A year ago, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) began allowing openly gay clergy to serve as pastors.
Conservative congregations have either left the denomination or moved away from its leadership as a result of that decision.

February 3, 2011, 01:19 PM
I'm a fairly short guy, 5'5" at age 16 and I don't expect to do much more growing. So what sort of size do you guys think a man would have to be in order to comfortably use a rifle like the AR?

With an adjustable buttstock, light weight, and low recoil you should be able to handle one just fine.
texas bulldog
February 3, 2011, 01:36 PM
You won't have any problem. It's really not that hard to handle. With a buffer tube that goes all the way through the stock, recoil is quite light. If you get an adjustable stock, it could probably be wielded by an 8 year old. Seriously.
I'm only about an inch taller than you, and it's no problem. It's not like we're talking about a Mosin Nagant or anything...
February 3, 2011, 01:39 PM
If 12 year olds in Africa can shoot an AK, you won't have any problems shooting a lighter weight, lower recoiling, more adjustable AR.
M2 Carbine
February 3, 2011, 01:46 PM
Not a problem.
This girl is 16 and a little smaller than you. She has a ball shooting the AR.:)
Also I've taught other small females and young boys to shoot. They have no problem with the AR.
February 3, 2011, 01:51 PM
When my son was nine, I made the mistake of letting him shoot my AR. I wound up having to build him one too, just so that I'd have something to shoot when we went to the range.
If you are just particularly recoil sensitive, there are configurations that you can seek that will shoot softer that others, like a 14.5" rig with a mid length gas system or an 18" rig with a rifle length gas system.
February 3, 2011, 01:58 PM
They were used in Vietnam by full grown men of your stature (think the Hmong and Montagnards).... they shoot a small, lower caliber center fire round, and only weigh about 7 pounds in the stock configuration.
You shouldn't have a problem.
February 3, 2011, 02:05 PM
I've known plenty of women who were five foot nothing and that I could benchpress with one arm who are able to handle an M4 or M16 without any trouble. Pretty much anyone who isn't phobic about weapons or recoil can run an AR effectively
February 3, 2011, 02:13 PM
i don't think there's anyone that can't handle an AR with collapsible stock and one of the lighter profile barrels (no HBAR).

My daughter was 8 years old and was shooting it like a Bb gun.
Geesh - afraid of a little .223?
February 3, 2011, 02:31 PM
You should have no problem. I'm 5'2' and at the ripe old age of 20 and weighing 110 lbs I mastered the M14 in 7.62, and hauled that baby all over Ft. Knox, Ky.

So what sort of size do you guys think a man would have to be in order to comfortably use a rifle like the AR?
The average ARVN (Army of Viet Nam) soldier was about your size, and they really liked the M16.
February 3, 2011, 03:21 PM
My six year old has fired mine from the bench, he's a foot shorter than you. He hasn't held and fired it because I don't feel he has the arm strength to do so with any measure of confidence. For purposes of training him not to fear a firearm due to its size it worked well.
Get thee to the store and handle one before deciding what you can or can't handle.
February 3, 2011, 03:27 PM
Thanks for all the answers, I appreciate it!
@DanielBoone: Not afraid of .223, i was more worried about being able to reach everything on it okay. My question probably sounds silly, but I've never had the chance to see an AR in real life so I could never find out just how big it is.
February 3, 2011, 03:34 PM
If your around the Houston area, your more than welcome to come shoot my Colt Hbar. Pm me and we'll set up a time.
February 3, 2011, 03:41 PM
Very generous offer, RIATAC45. I must decline, however, as I'm all the way in NJ. Probably should've filled that in, haha. Thanks anyway, though!
February 3, 2011, 04:34 PM
If you can hold it, you can shoot it.
February 3, 2011, 06:02 PM
An AR's quite forgiving - my wife is only 5'3", can't even hold an SKS in a shooting position AT ALL, but was able to shoot an AR unsupported. Strangely enough, she has a hard time holding my M1 Carbine too.
February 3, 2011, 06:32 PM
This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oafw45QpJ1U&feature=related) may help you.
That's my wife at one of several carbine classes she has taken with her S&W M&P 15T with a collapsible stock. She is 5 foot tall, and has little hands.
AR-15's are a lot of fun to shoot, and very accurate.
Be safe.
February 3, 2011, 07:02 PM
Dude, it's a poodle shooter. It's nothing to be afraid of. I have seen 7 year old girls shoot them.
You won't have any trouble unless you get one of the big heavy bull-barreled varmint ones, in which case it might be hard for a little dude to hold in off-hand.
harmon rabb
February 3, 2011, 08:15 PM
AR's look mean and manly, but are actually VERY soft shooting. I can't think of many rifles other than those chambered in .22lr that actually have less recoil than an AR.
A little girl could shoot an AR comfortably.
February 3, 2011, 08:36 PM
My GF is five foot two and a buck ten tops. She had to learn to hold my AR properly, but the adjustable stock is really designed to accomodate a variety of body types.
February 3, 2011, 08:37 PM
Guys, he's already said he isn't worried about the recoil. He's worried about the ergonomics.
Yes, you'll be fine with an AR. All the controls are easy to reach and you can get a wide variety of stock and handguard configurations. I'd recommend trying to handle a few before you buy anything, even if you can't actually fire one.
I'd be more interested in the fact you live in NJ. Are there any restrictions there on rifle configurations?
February 4, 2011, 06:27 AM
It's not your size, it's your attitude. The normal AR15 has little more recoil than a .22lr.
Welcome to the forum.
February 4, 2011, 08:39 AM
Here's the thing on controls: When it was designed in the '50's, the average height male was closer to 5'8" with a 32" sleeve, and weighed less than 140 pounds under the age of 25.
The first customers were in SE Asia, the size and fit went over huge compared to a 12 pound main battle rifle.
Stoner also put the controls where they were easy to use while shooting, not where parade and inspection needed them. That was another huge step away from the Palace Guard designs most previous firearms suffered. A thumb operated safety meant you could control it, and not switch it off early because it was a hassle. The mag button, same thing, and with an automatic last round bolt hold open on the left, you don't move your trigger finger while reloading or closing the bolt.
Old school parade guns extend the time it takes to reload, leaving the soldier disarmed twice as long. The AVERAGE soldier isn't a high speed expert three gun competitor, give him a gun that helps him in real life, and he'll get it back in action much faster than other guns that are right hand charged with magazines loaded against a closed bolt.
Those old parade guns finally got the last nail in the coffin with the M16, from then on soldiers (at least in America) knew what was better and worked with them, not what worked for the Platoon commander during Inspection Arms. Look around, Drill and Cereomony units avoid the M16 like the plague - because it's combat oriented, not a parade and exhibition drill stick.
There's a HUGE difference in ergonomics. As someone who's trained years in both, I see it easily. It's the clueless show and tell shooters who still stubbornly cling to old school designs from yesteryear. There's good reason why we tossed the wood and steel guns in the history dumpster, compare the battle statistics than and now. The M16 helps you stay alive longer, and you fight harder when you know your side cares.
February 4, 2011, 08:42 AM
my 13 yr old son uses his spikes in 3 gun
February 4, 2011, 09:11 AM
To say it has barely more recoil than a .22lr is not accurate, but it has the least of any common centerfire rifle round.
The difference in range and power between a .22lr and a centerfire rifle is enormous.
February 4, 2011, 09:45 AM
We had a female in one of my units who was 4'11" that could shoot the M-16 as well as many of the males. The good thing about the rifle is that all of the controls you will need to mess with are very close to where the pistol grip is.
She had much more of a problem with our 870s, having arms too short to pump it well.
Fred Fuller
February 4, 2011, 09:49 AM
Six-position adjustable stocks are pretty common on AR carbines these days. So stock fit shouldn't be an issue.
You need to be able to reach the trigger, safety selector and magazine release. All easy even with small hands... and I'm deliberately not mentioning the forward assist, I don't like 'em. Charging handle and bolt stop/release are support hand jobs- again, should be no problem. Left handed? See Stag for a lefty AR.
In short- shouldn't be any problem for you to handle an AR...
February 4, 2011, 10:03 AM
I'll concur with many of the others. Being around 5'8" myself with smaller hands, I handled my M16-A2 in the Army just fine. The only thing there was the fixed A2 stock, which I usually had to contort a bit(usually being more sideways then normal and tucking the stock underneath my LBE/LBV) to keep my nose to the charging handle. All the adjustable stocks I've handled since then have been just fine though, so if you can go that route there in NJ then that would be your best bet.
Also, welcome to the forum, you'll already notice that you can get some great tips here, you'll just have to wade through all the replies from people who read half of your original post and not one word more before they replied.
February 4, 2011, 10:24 AM
AR's are kosher New Jersey?
February 4, 2011, 11:29 AM
You can have them comply with the NJ AWB, but I was asking more for when I leave this state in a couple of years. Thanks again for all the extremely helpful replies.
February 4, 2011, 12:26 PM
So what sort of size do you guys think a man would have to be in order to comfortably use a rifle like the AR?
I know of a 4-10 85# woman who can outshoot most men with an AR/M16.

Seizing the Opportunity: Exploiting Web Aggregation
Stuart Madnick
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management
Michael Siegel
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management
December 2001
MIT Sloan Working Paper No. 4351-01
This paper examines the development of web aggregators, entities that collect information from a wide range of sources, with or without prior arrangements, and add value through post-aggregation services. New Web-page extraction tools, context sensitive mediators, and agent technologies have greatly reduced the barriers to constructing aggregators. We predict that aggregators will soon emerge in industries where they were not formerly present. Through studying over a hundred existing and emerging aggregators, we present a model for understanding the aggregator's strategic interaction with existing organizations. We also suggest different ways that businesses can take advantage of the new opportunities presented. Finally, we provide valuable insights to all organizations concerning the issues, impacts, and actions required as aggregators become increasingly present.

More Info
The least processed and rarest of all teas, white tea has the highest concentrations of polyphenols and is the most challenging to produce and procure. Once a year, in early spring when the buds and leaves are still closed and covered by fine silvery-white downy hairs, the leaves are delicately hand-plucked. They then undergo a meticulously monitored drying process where the tea is withered. Tea Forté works directly with these artisan- farmers who tender the delicate process to assure that the white tea that we offer yields an exquisitely subtle tea-drinking experience.
White tea is considered the purest of all teas. Plucked only a few days each spring when the Camellia sinensisplants are reemerging from winter dormancy, it is revered by tea connoisseurs for its delicate, fresh flavor.
Our white tea is one of the most highly-prized teas available, comprised of carefully plucked unopened buds and the younger leaves of the plant. The leaves arenaturally dried in the sun before they are lightly processed to prevent oxidation, keeping the leaves closer to their natural state,low in caffeine and high in antioxidants.

When I opened this tea, the aroma was absolutely wonderful. I couldn't wait to test it out. I was highly disappointed though. The leaves themselves are so tiny, that they seeped through my fuser. How can it be leaf tea, when the tea is small enough to seep thru your fuser? So I had 'tea crumbs' floating all in my cup. Strike 1. This is an extremely light tasting tea, and I had to use more than a tablespoon to even taste it. The first cup, I made according to the directions, and I was just drinking hot water. The 2nd, I used the tablespoon, and it was just a little better. Strike 2 I like 'leaf tea', not tea that is just a tad above the tea you get in bags. I don't like floaters!
This tea is mild and delish! Flavors do not overpower the smooth white tea. Very nice! Will be a staple in this house from now on. We love it!
I am usually just a black tea drinker but once I tried the Wild Apple Ginger I was a convert. This tea is perfect when you are looking for an alternative to black tea. The ginger flavor is comforting and soothing. The combination of flavors is perfect for day or night. Sometimes I add a bit of the Tupelo honey or any honey. I think the flavors are wonderful and it is now my favorite tea from Tea Forte!
If the entire Tea Forte collection were graded on a bell curve, Wild Apple Ginger would rate a respectable C. Not bad, definitely drinkable, but If I'm going to have apple tea, I prefer Harvest Apple Spice, and if I'm going to have ginger, I want Tea Forte's original Ginger tea, which I think is not offered any more. These are the five-star teas my palate craves. BTW, the most delicious tea in the white tea collection is Tupelo Honey Fig. I wrote a stellar review about it, but for some reason it was never posted by the webmaster. Tea Forte folks, how about pulling that one out of the collection and selling it in larger, pyramid-packaged quantities?
This blend is very mild for a ginger tea. The apples provide a moderately sweet base, and the blackberry leaves add a little tartness. The ginger puts a very light note of spice in the aftertaste.

The latest batch of possible victims of Illinois podiatrist, Ninos Danny Jando, accused of videotaping men in a college shower room, are apparently from the Chicago area, Muskegon Police Department officials confirmed Thursday, Feb. 7.
Illinois authorities are in the process of identifying Chicago-area victims whose images were captured on video allegedly taped by Jando.
So far in the Muskegon area, only MCC wrestlers have been identified as victims, although a Muskegon detective is still working on the case. Authorities are hoping anyone who has had contact with Jando or believes they were videotaped by Jando will come forward with information.
Jando, of Skokie, Ill., who police said practices podiatry in the Chicago area, has been charged with three counts of felony invasion of privacy for allegedly taking video of showering male wrestlers in a Muskegon Community College locker room on Monday.
He's being held in the Muskegon County Jail on a $200,000 cash or surety bond while investigators continue to review evidence obtained from Jando and the rental car he had driven from Illinois to the Muskegon area. If a judge orders a cash or surety bond, the entire amount must be posted before the defendant can be freed.
Authorities have said Jando hasn't been able to provide them with any other reason he was in the Muskegon area the day of his arrest.
A GPS device inside the car was being reviewed as well to determine where Jando may have been prior to coming to the college on the day he was arrested.
At least one MCC wrestler believes Jando was spotted on campus a week prior to his arrest.
Anyone in the Muskegon County area who believes they were videotaped by Jando is asked to contact Muskegon Police Detective Andy Rush at (231) 724-6752.

At this point all cookies should have been shipped, (hopefully) received and eaten! Be working on your recipe posts to publish on Wednesday, December 16th.
The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap brings together food bloggers from around the world in celebration of all things scrumptious. The premise is this: sign up. Receive the addresses of three other food bloggers. Send each of them one dozen delicious homemade cookies. Receive three different boxes of scrumptious cookies from other bloggers. Eat them all yourself (or, you know, share. If you want. No judgement either way.) Post your cookie recipe on your blog. See everyone else's cookie recipes. Salivate. Get lots of great ideas for next year's cookie swap. Rinse and repeat.
This year we are again excited to be partnering with Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer, which claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease. By participating in this cookie swap you are not only contributing to the food blogger community, but also supporting a great cause.
Sign Up. Fill out the sign-up form to participate. Be sure you meet the basic requirements for participation (listed below).

Match. We will send you the names and addresses of three other food bloggers. These are the people to whom you will be sending cookies! It's important you keep these matches a secret until they receive your cookies.
Bake & Ship. Now comes the fun part! Whip up a batch of delicious cookies and ship one dozen to each of your three matches by the shipment deadline. Don't forget to photograph your cookies for your post before you send them off! :)
Post. Post your cookie recipe on your blog and submit the post along with an image (if you have one). We will then collect and compile all participants' posts and publish them in one huge roundup!
Please pay close attention to the official swap timeline, and be sure you will be able to meet these deadlines before signing up to participate.

you must be able to meet the deadlines. Before signing up to participate, be sure you are able to meet the above specified deadlines.
Your cookie recipe must be new-to-you, meaning, not one you have posted previously on your blog. It does NOT have to be an original recipe, however please give proper credit when posting someone else's recipe.
non-us food bloggers are welcome to participate, however we must have at least 4 bloggers from any one country. You will only be matched with bloggers from your own country (to avoid outrageous shipping charges and customs issues). Please contact us if you'd like to get your country on the list.
Food allergies or dietary restrictions? No worries, you are still welcome to participate! There's a question on the sign up form, just answer accordingly. We will do our best to match you with other bloggers with similar restrictions.
follow through. Please do not sign up if you do not plan on following through. This swap is supposed to be fun, and that depends on everyone sending their cookies as promised. While we've taken steps to verify participants, we have no way of ensuring or confirming that everyone indeed sends their cookies. Your word is all we have to go on, and we are optimistic that that is good enough. Please don't betray that trust. (Thank you much!)
Sign ups for the 2015 Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap are now closed. Didn't get a chance to participate? You can sign up for our notifications list here.

This year, we have chosen to partner with Cookies for Kids' Cancer and require a donation for participation, both to spread some good this holiday season, but also to add another level of verification to participants of the swap. We hope that the extra step of having to pay to play will ensure that only those willing to follow through will participate in the swap.
We have chosen a reasonable amount ($4.00) that we feel is big enough to make a big difference but small enough that it shouldn't become an obstacle to anyone participating. 100% of all donations received (after processing fees) will go directly to Cookies for Kids' Cancer.
Once you complete your sign-up form you will be directed to complete payment securely via PayPal, where you can pay with a credit card or your PayPal account. Note that this donation is non-refundable should you unsubscribe before the sign-up deadline.
It is called the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, after all. We are not excluding anyone to be mean, but rather our intent is to share the love of cookies and build the food blogging community.
Having a blog is how we will all exchange recipes during the last stage of the swap, by posting the recipes on our blogs and creating a huge round up of all the swap recipes. It is also how we will hold you accountable: by having a legitimate and active food blog we know that you're more than just a random person.

Short Takes: A briefing of people, issues and events around the country
National Guard soldiers, airmen to be furloughed
KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- More than 1,100 National Guard soldiers and airmen in Hawaii -- and thousands in other states -- will be living with 20 percent less pay over the next three months as the Defense Department carries out automatic federal budget cuts.
Guard members will be furloughed for one day a week starting Monday, so helicopter pilots and mechanics, pay and finance clerks and others who keep the guard operating will have eight hours less each week to do their jobs.
It's not clear what effects the unprecedented cuts will have. They could, however, make it more difficult for the guard to fly helicopters to help put out wildfires or rush to the scene of natural disasters in trucks.
The military's furloughs were only supposed to involve civilians. It's not immediately clear how many uniformed personnel will be affected nationwide.
3 officers taken off street duty after dog fatally shot
HAWTHORNE, Calif. -- Three police officers have been pulled from street duty for their safety in Southern California after a widely circulated video showed an officer fatally shooting a Rottweiler and drew numerous death threats.
Hawthorne police spokesman Lt. Scott Swain told the Daily Breeze the decision is for the officers' safety after the uniformed officer shot the dog four times on Sunday.
A video that had more than 3.7 million views on YouTube by Thursday morning showed the dog, named Max, being shot after scrambling out of a car's back seat through a window and lunging at officers who had handcuffed its master.
The dog's owner, Leon Rosby, said police needlessly killed his dog. His lawyer, Michael Gulden, said Rosby's complaint will be added to an existing suit Rosby has against police.
Chestnut wins 7th contest with record 69 hot dogs
NEW YORK -- Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women's competition.
The 29-year-old San Jose, Calif., man known as "Jaws" ate one more wiener than his previous record. Chestnut said he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money. The 100-pound Thomas, who is known as the "Black Widow" of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners.
Chestnut, who weighs 210 pounds, is a seven-time winner who set the old record -- 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes -- in 2009 and tied it in 2012. Thomas, 45, powered through 45 dogs to take the women's championship in 2012 and also won in 2011, the first year women competed separately.

Local relief agencies weigh in on whether Japan is still in need of international aid
Odd as it may seem, that's a big question right now within the aid and development community.
By a simple measure of the number of news stories and organizational appeals out there, clearly the answer is: Yes, people should donate to disaster relief in Japan.
Perhaps the most blunt argument answering the question in the negative has come from Felix Salmon, economics columnist for Reuters, who said simply: Don't Donate Money to Japan.
I've posted on this debate a few times, including an anonymous post from an aid worker decrying the "ugly game" of fund-raisingaround the Japan quake-tsunami disaster.
Others have written as well about the question of whether Japan needs/wants help from outside groups such as Stephanie Strom at the New York Times and Saundra Schimmelpfennig at Good Intentions Are Not Enough.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Police tonight were looking for a man who reportedly held up a Mobile gas station at 248 Cherry Street SW.
The robbery happened about 9:10 p.m.
Police dispatchers who received a 911 call said the robber had some type of mask, wore winter gloves and implied he had a weapon.
The person fled on foot and may have only gotten away with $20-$30, police said.

On the flight mode indicator there are three modes displayed 'N1' 'LNAV' and 'VNAV PTH'
I would like to understand these mode a bit better, i presume when 'N1' engaged alone will hold speed and the pilot flying will control lateral and vertical navigation manually? 'LNAV' and 'VNAV PTH' control lateral and vertical navigation modes? also is there any particular reason why the 'PTH' come after 'VNAV' and not after 'LNAV'?

The Pornographers
This 1966 Japanese film is just downright freaky. I know I've taken it to the British on numerous occasions, but if this film in any way mirrors any sort of reality in Japan, then that is one place I'm just never going. Apparently, the whole country is like those strange neighbors you have who seem quiet and proper and then one day the police bust down their front door and discover body pieces everywhere.
Let me see if I can explain any of this. The movie follows this guy named Subu who makes pornographic movies (and don't get all excited because not only is there no nudity, save for a brief scene unrelated to the porn, but virtually everything having to do with the porn is related second-hand). It's not really the porn films that are whacked -- it's Subu's living situation.
Subu uses the money he makes to help out his landlady. Sometimes they sleep together. However, his landlady seems really disturbed by this carp that she keeps because she says it contains the soul of her dead husband. This doesn't stop her from giving her own son hand jobs or from practically selling her 15-year-old daughter to Subu. For his part, Subu appears more than happy to take the daughter since he's got an incredible, sick amount of pent up lust for her. As far as I can tell, whatever sick stuff you may have heard about the Japanese is chronicled in this film. Foot fetishes, panty sniffing -- you name it and it's probably in "The Pornographers." I guess it just goes to show that the more a society represses its primal urges, the more screwed up it is in its private moments.

Obama's obscene trial
Did you know that there is a Justice Department Obscenity Prosecution Task Force in our wonderful federal government? Never mind the bank robbers and terrorists. Our federal government is spending your tax dollars to prosecute porn merchants. From the Washington Post newspaper:
By Spencer S. Hsu
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 17, 2010
A federal judge dismissed the first obscenity prosecution brought in the nation's capital in a quarter-century on technical grounds Friday, tossing out charges against John A. Stagliano and two companies associated with the adult video producer based in Van Nuys, Calif.
"I hope the government will learn a lesson from its experience," Leon said in a rebuke. He cited a string of "difficult, challenging and novel questions" raised in the case concerning decades-old federal obscenity statutes, the Internet, free speech and criminal defendants' rights.
Justice Department statistics show prosecutors charged 361 defendants with obscenity violations during President George W. Bush's years in office, nearly twice as many as under President Bill Clinton. In 2009, 20 defendants were charged, compared with 54 the previous year.
{;-) Dan in Miami
PS: Obama, the great constitutional scholar, should end the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force. Put those lawyers to work prosecuting the Wall Street crooks who trashed the world's economy.

That is not a politically viable option
The religious right is up in arms enough what with Obama being a Muslim from Kenya and all. If he were to outright ban this task force, it would just be more amunition in the conservatives' vast stockpile of ignorance.

The Obscenity Prosecution Task Force is watching you
Coaster you had better be more careful with your Beluga Whale porn. In 2005 George Bush created the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force to stop consenting adults from engaging in and viewing sex movies.
They have their own website. It is chilling. Here is an excerpt from their web site:
Welcome to the Website of the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force (OPTF) of the U.S. Department of Justice. Created in 2005, the Task Force is dedicated exclusively to the protection of America's children and families through the enforcement of our Nation's obscenity laws.
The Task Force's trial prosecutors and law enforcement agents partner with the Nation's 93 United States Attorneys to initiate and conduct investigations and prosecutions under federal statutes prohibiting obscenity crimes involving the transportation of obscene matter via the mails, common carriers, interactive computer services, or other means or facilities of interstate or foreign commerce. Many of these cases arise from complaints by citizens who have been offended or harmed by the spread of hardcore pornography over the Internet, as well as through the U.S. Mail and retail outlets.
{;-) Dan in Miami
PS: Just once I would like to see an example of anyone harmed by legally regulated porn. The government regulates the porn industry in the USA. If there are rules for creating and distributing porn then how can the government turn around and say it's illegal?

J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP ) has attracted another high-profile investor to its roster of major shareholders. Billionaire George Soros has disclosed ownership of a sizable block of shares in the company, according to a filing his Soros Fund Management submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to the filing, Soros now holds nearly 17.4 million shares in the struggling retailer, or 7.9% of the company.
The move is a typically contrarian play for the veteran financier. J.C. Penney stock has lost more than half its value over the past year and is down by 23% so far in 2013.

A hard-on

Lesson 4: Understanding Learning Differences (Grades 6 – 9)
Rationale : The purpose of this lesson is to increase understanding about learning differences and empathy for people who have them. Experts estimate that 6 to 10 percent of the school-aged population and nearly 40 percent of the children enrolled in the nation's special education classes have a learning disability; yet most students don't understand what learning disabilities are and those who learn differently frequently bear the stigma of being thought of as "slow," lazy, or "weird." During this lesson, students explore their own learning styles as the basis for understanding learning differences. Through simple brain research and articles, students learn the facts about learning differences, and through experiential exercises and personal testimony, students develop an appreciation for others with learning disabilities. The lesson concludes with a brief look at prominent historical and contemporary figures with learning differences and multiple intelligence theory in order to encourage an appreciation for brain diversity and emphasize the broad continuum of strengths and talents inherent in human beings.

TechnoAlpin takes a lead in environmental protection issues
Environmental protection has been an issue of focus at TechnoAlpin since its early days. Back at the end of the 1990s the product development team at TechnoAlpin had already set itself the ambitious target of making sure that not one single drop of oil would leach into the environment through snow-making technology. Every snow gun was to be fitted with an oil-free compressor of aluminum. TechnoAlpin joined forces with leading compressor manufacturer KAESER and together they developed the KTC 840, an oil-free piston compressor with integrated cooling circuit. This has been used in all TechnoAlpin snow guns without exception since 1999. Whether the lance or fan gun, automatic or manual – the oil-free compressor is fitted as standard.
Oil-free and efficient
The piston compressor also helps the environmental cause through its efficient use of energy. An oil-lubricated rotary compressor consumes up to 20 – 25% more energy than the oil-free piston compressor at the same rate of air flow. An oil-lubricated rotary compressor is also required to process the oil. This involves separating the oil from the compressed air, for example, a process which is carried out in the trap cartridge. Rotary compressors need to operate at a minimum temperature to prevent ice from forming in the separator system. This is another process which requires energy. If this heating system stops working it can cause the trap cartridge to rupture, allowing oil to leak into the compressed air piping and therefore onto the ski slope. There is no risk of this happening with oil-free compressors. Even in the event of a fault, not one single drop of oil will escape into the environment.
Efficient and reliable
Over 10,000 snow guns have left the factory in Bolzano since the oil-free compressor became a standard feature in 1999. Since then other advantages have become apparent in addition to environmental protection. The KTC oil-free compressor is extremely reliable. The malfunction rate is below 1%. The snow gun can be positioned at any angle. It needs no leveling because of the oil-free design. An annual service schedule is required for oil-flooded compressors. By contrast, oil-free compressors require precious little maintenance. There are no oil filters, trap cartridges, oil level monitors, stationary heating installations, etc. which need to be changed. When taken out of service, oil-free compressors are not classified as hazardous waste like oil-flooded compressors and can therefore be disposed of more easily.
In the last 10 years TechnoAlpin snow guns have saved some 110,000 liters of oil and 39,000 trap cartridges. Thus the KTC840 combines maximum efficiency, pollution control and low maintenance, all of which lead to further cost savings in the long run. Advantages from which only TechnoAlpin customers can benefit. The KTC 840 is produced exclusively for snow guns made by the snow experts.

Wine Maker Notes
To preserve the depth of aroma and flavor in these three grape varieties, maceration lasts 8-10 days under strictly controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation takes place immediately afterward, followed by early bottling to capture optimum freshness.

A un moment où il semblerait que le monde soit devenu fou de Klout et où il n'y a pas de limite à la recherche – souvent vaniteuse – de la réputation, Chris Brogan nous apporte la réponse à cette importante question : ne vous préoccupez pas de votre réputation, faites votre travail et laissez dire … à méditer
The Myth of Reputation
We worry about our reputation. How are we perceived? What do people say about us? If we're not around, what gets said differently? The trick is that reputation comes from the perspectives of others, and as such, it's not ours to worry about.
Ask my dozens of haters and they'll say I'm overrated, have nothing new to say, and am in it for the money. Ask my devoted and loyal following and they'll say that everything I put out is a gem and that I can spin garbage into gold. Both are right. It's a perspective.
When I started Blog Topics, people wrote angry posts stating that I was evil for selling this, and that topics exist everywhere for free. At the same time those posts were being labored over, hundreds of people subscribed to Blog Topics and are still subscribed, getting weekly writing advice. When I'm an hour or two late with publishing the latest issue, I get emails asking for it. Both are right. You can get topics anywhere for free. You can pay for writing advice from me.
