Seen one going for 75 used. Can't say I have heard anything bad about them.
December 24, 2006, 11:09 PM
I've had one for a couple years, they're nice little rifles for the price. Throw an inexpensive 3-9X scope on and you're all set. I have a couple thousand rounds through mine.
December 24, 2006, 11:37 PM
they are easy, to take apart, very simpleand elegant in the parts. they can be a bit ruger-ish to put back together, have to get that recoil spring, buffer spring, receiver assy. all put in right.

My wife loves hers. Magazines are inexpensive, so I bought 4 extras, which I like to do with all my 10-round .22s 'cause we hate shooting up a partial box of ammo...
December 25, 2006, 07:33 AM
Have ran about 300 hypervelocity rounds through it the Rem Yellow Jackets and the CCI Stingers. Accuracy with these rounds was very good handheld and bench rested. My edition came with a scope and scope covers for $116 and change including tax out the door at Dick's Sporting Goods. Easy to dissemble harder to put back but have done it 3 times already in cleaning and getting to know the weapon. Great rifle for the money. Professional reviews have been great.
Note: This gun is an import and therefore comes with much grease. Clean first before first use and you will have very little trouble with this hundred dollar gun.
Mossberg: Definitely more Bang for the Buck

I picked up one a couple weeks ago put a tasco 22 3x9 scope on it and it shoots as good as I can hold it. I had a bet going with a friend about who could hit a target... blah blah you know how those go. Any way we had a target at about 30 yds. His was an older lever action winchester I think, I had the plinkster. We were putting holes through the same spots. However, I don't really care for the trigger, gritty and heavy. But for $110 it will do exactly what it was designed for plinking, and maybe some squirel hunting. My advice, feel the trigger first see if you like it. I'm looking for a way to lighten it up right now.
What will you use it for? plinking? then go ahead. If target/hunting go with a bolt or lever. Just my .02.
December 25, 2006, 12:22 PM
Well its between the mossberg plinkster and the savage semi auto model 64f. I want them for plinking mostly. I shot yesterday the savage markII (bolt action) and it had a weird feeling to it. I already have a marlin model 60 (love it) its my all purpose 22, but its a task to load. what do you guys think about the savage model 64f ?(semi auto) Do any of you have one? How is it? All information will be helpful.
December 25, 2006, 01:58 PM
Give the Remington 597 a shot. Great rifle and comes with a scope. Accurate as they come for the money. I recommend it.

Hard to believe you could go wrong with any of the ones mentioned. Most of us don't shoot as much .22 as we should. I have to kick myself in the butt every so often to reach to the back of the safe and pull one out. I imagine there's a lot of shooters like myself.....Essex
December 26, 2006, 03:54 AM
the thing about the savage is, if you need to take apart in the field for whatever reason, with the savage you will need an allen wrench. most other rifles just require a flat blade of any sort, even a coin. Also , for some reason, i hate the way the savage mag feels, when i try to install or remove it from the receiver, you better check this out, before you buy it. see if it irritates you.
other than that , the savage is a fine field 22 gun, with excellent accuracy, and shoots very well off hand.
December 26, 2006, 06:52 AM
I was thinking of getting one of these, but I may just go to another marlin.
What do you guys think about this gun vs the marlin?
I also have an old western field 31a that is great, but you can't put a scope on it, or I should say, "I" can't put one on there with out taking it to a gun smith...
December 26, 2006, 09:20 AM
I really enjoyed it. Great family gun, but for as long as I owned it I always disliked the rod magazine. Although it held more amo I really prefer the mag loading guns.
I have the Mossy Plinkster now and love it. Scoped out it is a real fun gun. The only negative I have about the plinkster is it must be thoroughly cleaned before the first use. period.
After that it is a great .22lr. :)
December 26, 2006, 10:14 AM
I had one. Typical Mossberg: Inexpensive, ugly, incredibly durable, reliable (never had it jam once, even when grotesquely dirty), dead simple mechanism (something like five moving parts including the firing pin...), and you could use it for a club after you ran out of ammo.
The things I didn't like about it were the fact that there are no parts for it and no magazines greater than ten rounds (as usual), and even the ten rounders cost as much as a 10/22 mag even though it's a simple spring-and-follower I could probably knock out in the shop for a about fifty cents.
Also, when bench resting the stick-out magazine gets in the way, leaving you with the worst of both worlds... You can't have a high capacity sticky-outy magazine, you're stuck with 10. But even though you're stuck with 10 you can't have a flush fitting one like the 10/22, either. And breech loading is a royal pain.
I got it when I was young and impatient (my second gun) so when I bought it I didn't take any time to clean it, tune it, or blast the grease out. I bought the gun for 89 dollars (I think) at a sporting goods store, picked up a brick of the cheapest ammo they had, rounded up a couple of friends, and took it to the quarry to go shoot at stuff. We went through that whole brick of ammo in one sitting and it didn't get cleaned until a couple of days afterwards. No jams, perfectly acceptable accuracy, nothing to complain about except for the magazines.

See if I can add anything to this.
Mossberg has used the name "Plinkster" for a semi-auto
sporting rifle before. The "Plinkster" was a version of
their Model 151 with a thumbhole stock and a high scope
The current Mossberg Plinkster is a version of the CBC
(Brasil) Model 7022 formerly imported by Mag Tech (Las Vegas).
The Mag Tech CBC 7022 had a Brasilian hardwood stock with a
"baseball bat" profile like the old Winchester 69A hunting rifle.
My grandson loves shooting my MagTech 7022.
The Mossberg Plinkster version has a synthetic stock with a thin
forearm and a schnabel tip.
March 13, 2009, 07:53 PM
i just bought mine yesterday at gi joes for 119. i prolly wouldnt have cleaned it before i used it. but after reading this ill make sure to do so. im gunna be shooting some AE 40gr copper plated hollow points. wish me luck.
March 13, 2009, 09:58 PM
This was the first gun I bought and have had it for about 7 years now its a great gun.
have to get that recoil spring, buffer spring, receiver assy. all put in right.
I bent my spring the first time I put it back together but once you learn the trick its easy to reassemble. I've got about 3000-ish rounds through mine and never had any MAJOR issues but it does get really dirty for some reason. It is always kind of a chore to clean it after each time I shoot it. And sometimes, if I don't lube it right/enough, it will jam. But that's usually my fault. It is however very accurate for a $100 gun. The iron sights on it are really accurate and I put a $30 BSA 3x-9x scope on it and it also is really accurate. And thats with the cheap walmart, federal value 550 pack of ammo.
March 13, 2009, 10:26 PM
i have see thew rings and a 3-9x 50 simmens blazer with a bipod .got it used and had it over a year and love it.It jams when i don't clean it after a box of walmart fed bulk ammo.Its cheep it shoots and it is fun:neener:
March 13, 2009, 11:46 PM
if you can pick up a marlin 795, or better yet, a 7000, then that will be the last semi auto mag fed 22 , you will ever need. the only one that could be better, would be a remmy, because of the hi cap mags, and becuause of the fully adjustable rear site, which is a rare thing on 22 rifles now.
Wait a minute, I forgot one, a marlin papoose, in stainless.....aaarrrrggghhahahahhhhhh.

Just Married
The primary font for the humor in "Just Married" consists of blows to the head, and in this one regard, Ashton Kutcher seems determined to become the master. In the role of new groom Tom Leezak, he gets nailed in the head about a dozen times. The only variation is what object strikes it (door, ashtray, airplane bulkhead) and what sort of wild, floppy pratfall he will take afterwards in the interest of continuing his career in Hollywood. "Just Married" milks this gag over and over again, and when you consider that each head injury scene probably required several takes, it's a miracle that Kutcher isn't spending his waking hours gulping down enough painkillers to choke Chevy Chase.
As far as the family of his bride, Sarah (Brittany Murphy), is concerned, Tom's from the wrong side of the tracks. Sarah's friends and family are such cardboard-cutout richie-poos that they wear pastel sweaters tied around their shoulders and speak exclusively through clenched teeth. Can you believe they would take an instant dislike to poor, uncultured Tom? But Sarah likes him, at least until their honeymoon in Europe, where she discovers that he's poor and uncultured.
The story in "Just Married" is so predictable that it's a stunning commentary on the assumed intelligence of the audience that it begins with a shot of the newlyweds quarreling as they return home from their honeymoon. Director Shawn ("Big Fat Liar") Levy undoubtedly structured things this way to assuage any fear or uncertainty the audience may feel as the movie hurtles through astonishing twists toward a conclusion nearly heretical in its originality. Then we cut to an earlier point in the timeline, and spend an hour watching Tom and Sarah meet, date, marry and go on National Lampoon's European Honeymoon Lite, where Tom insults the locals and various objects go bonk on head.
By the time we're caught up to their quarreling, we have just enough time left for Ashton to recite the impassioned makeup speech that, in movieland, heals all transgressions. However, there's no makeup speech Shawn Levy can make that will ever make up for "Just Married."

Amarillo Gorillas left winger Austin Sutter was named the Central Hockey League's Man of the Year on Wednesday.
Up Next
The games: The Gorillas host New Mexico at 7:05 tonight at Cal Farley Coliseum; travel to Broomfield, Colo., on Friday to take on the Rocky Mountain Rage at 8:05 p.m.; and end the season hosting Rocky Mountain at 7:05 p.m. Saturday at Cal Farley Coliseum.
The award, selected by the CHL based on nominations from its teams, is "presented annually to the Central Hockey League player adjudged to have best exemplified strong leadership qualities on and off the ice, while making significant and noteworthy humanitarian contributions to his community."
Sutter, a third-year pro from Red Deer, Alberta, has played in all 61 games this season for the Gorillas, totalling 30 points.
"This was a shock and a huge honor," Sutter said. "I've seen banners around the league for man of the year and I was curious as to what it was all about. I am proud of this honor and I will continue to work in the community in the future."
Sutter leads the Gorillas community initiative in the Amarillo Independent School District by spending time with students and teaching the importance of practice, teamwork and reading. He has also worked closely with the Amarillo Hockey Association Inc., attending board meetings and lending input to the day-to-day hockey operations of the organization.
Sutter volunteers as a coach for a 17-and-under in-line hockey team and teaches at numerous hockey camps throughout the off-season. This past summer, Sutter organized a "Shoe Hockey Camp" for children ages 4-10 attending day care centers throughout Amarillo, teaching them valuable tools of being a team player and sportsmanship. In his four-week camp, Sutter worked with 780 children.
"Austin has been a big part of the Amarillo hockey community ever since joining the team in 2006-07," said Gorillas owner Randy Sanders. "He has introduced many children to hockey for the first time, hosts clinics, and has fueled excitement for the sport around the Texas Panhandle. Austin is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, and leads by example with his work in the community." Added Gorillas general manager Robert Simmons: "Austin is a great asset to the team on the ice and the community off the ice. He has been involved with many of the Amarillo Gorillas off-ice programs this season, and is always the first to volunteer for any community function."
Sutter is Amarillo's second professional hockey player to win a league's Man of the Year Award. Amarillo Rattlers right winger Brad Haelzle was named the Western Professional Hockey League Man of the Year in 1999-2000.

The realization probably came to Ron Anderson during a game of H-O-R-S-E.
Anderson always held his own in those post-practice, long-distance shooting contests - even against the likes of Hersey Hawkins, one of the best three- point shooters in the NBA, and Johnny Dawkins, and, in earlier times, Scott Brooks and Gerald Henderson. As often as not, he won.
For the longest time, though, his three-point shot didn't find its way into games. Anderson made just nine three-pointers all last season, and he went into this season with a career 18.3 percent mark from beyond the three-point line.

Novak Djokovic was the most dominant player on the men's tennis hard courts in 2012 after the grass court season concluded.
It helped establish him almost 3,000 points ahead of the No. 2 player in the world, which is now Andy Murray.
The questions facing Djokovic are will he retain his edge on hard courts for the rest of 2013 and, more importantly, will he end the season as the world No. 1 once again?
After all, sometimes it is easier to get to the top than it is to stay there.
Regardless of a couple of key losses so far in 2013, Djokovic's reign has not ended, nor will it end in 2013.
Following are the reasons for that assertion.

After discovering the first irregular satellites of Uranus in 1997 (Gladman, etal (1998) Nature, 392, 897), our team has undertaken a systematic program to search the Hill spheres of the outer planets for additional small satellites. In 2000/2001 we carried out a survey of the environs of Saturn comparable to our deep 1999 surveys at Uranus and Neptune (Gladman, etal (2000) Icarus, 147, 320). Because Saturn's Hill sphere subtends a diameter of almost 6\circ, such a survey was impracticable before the advent of large-format CCD array cameras. After a preliminary survey in August 2000, we carried out our main survey with the 3.6~m CFHT telescope and the CFH12k array camera in September 2000. This survey covered a roughly circular region with an outer radius of ~.0\circ to a limiting magnitude of mR=24. These two surveys netted a total of 15 candidate irregular satellites, of which 11 were subsequently recovered on several observing runs between October 2000 and January 2001. A 12th satellite was identified in November 2000, just outside our original survey area. These discoveries were reported by Gladman, etal (2001) Nature, 412, 163.
In August--November 2001 we recovered all 12 candidate satellites within a few arcminutes of their predicted positions, leading to confirmation of their status as bona fide saturnian satellites and the calculation of improved orbital elements. A striking result of this survey is that 11 of the 12 satellites fall into just three different inclination groups: three at i=34\circ, four at i=46\circ, and four at i=165-175\circ. The latter group includes Phoebe, the only previously-known saturnian irregular. The final object, S/2000 S8, has an inclination of 153\circ. It has been suggested that these groups may represent the later break-up of three originally-captured planetesimals, although the semimajor axes and eccentricities are much less tightly clustered than are the inclinations. The tightest overall groupings consist of S5/S6 and S4/S10/S11. We will summarize the orbital characteristics of the satellites, as well as discuss arguments for and against a break-up origin. A companion paper by Cuk etal will address the unusual secular dynamics exhibited by several of these objects. This work is supported by NASA's Planetary Astronomy program.

After an unfortunate series of events—namely, torment by the little people of Lilliput, escape, stormy diversion of his voyage home, and, finally, abandonment—Gulliver ends up in Brobdingnag, a curious land occupied by giants, 12 times the size of Gulliver, you, and me. And so, Gulliver has the opportunity (or misfortune) of examining everything and everyone in a more intimate capacity than normally possible. What does he see?
The description of lice "crawling on their clothes" tells us these were body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) as opposed to head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis). This important distinction had not yet been made at the time of Gulliver's trip in 1703. Linnaeus first recognized 2 subspecies of Pediculus humanus in 1761, naming them as indicated in 1778. This distinction is important medically because epidemic typhus, trench fever, and louse-borne relapsing fever are transmitted by body lice, not head lice.
This illustration may have influenced Jonathan Swift's description of the Brobdingnagian louse.

Cock-Worship Training
Featuring Arowyn White
Date December 26th, 2008
Duration 26:19
Arowyn first shows the interviewer what she's made of. She's from Indiana and is a first-timer on XLGirls.com. A 40-something, she's fucked many dudes and has made a few hardcore videos. While she answers a few questions about herself, stunt-dick Colton creams her up with white lotion, rubbing the goo into her skin. As he rubs the lotion, Arowyn is asked where she likes guys to shoot their loads. "On my titties," she answers. "Are you going to lick my cock?" he asks her. "Are you going to lick my balls? Do you like cock in your mouth?" She answers yes, then she's guided into her cock-worship training session. As her boobs dangle and hang, she sucks the cock and fingers the balls. Arowyn is very subservient and does everything Colton tells her to do, pleading with him to not stop.

Mr. Gleacher, Your Tee Times Have Been Canceled
We suspect Eric Gleacher is going to be spending a lot less time on the golf course.
A former board member of the U.S. Golf Association who hits the links most weekends, Gleacher has taken over the CEO reins at Broadpoint Gleacher Securities Group.
The New York boutique investment bank's current CEO, Lee Fensterstock, announced this morning he was stepping down to pursue more "entrepreneurial" ventures. "I enjoyed the building and assembling and enjoyed less the administrative, part of it,'' Fensterstock tells Deal Journal.
That leaves the 69 year-old Gleacher, firm's founder and chairman, to pick up the slack.
In the past 52 weeks, the firm's stock has doubled, mostly on back of its booming fixed-income trading business.
But its M&A business has been a laggard, despite Gleacher's pedigree. (He established the M&A business at Lehman Brothers in 1978 and ran Morgan Stanley's M&A unit from 1985 to 1990.) Broadpoint-Gleacher has yet to advise on a single deal since the merger of Broadpoint Securities and Gleacher a year ago, according to Dealogic.
Still, Gleacher is optimistic, "We have an impressive M&A backlog that hopefully will become visible soon. The business has bounced back."
Fensterstock says he is leaving because his employment contract is about to expire. He became CEO of Broadpoint Securities, a capital-markets firm, in 2007, and bought Gleacher in June 2009.
But analysts such as Macquarie's David Trone says his departure is a negative surprise.
Indeed, Gleacher has been portraying the image of a man of leisure, not of a soon-to-be CEO. A Times (UK) profile of Gleacher, which was published only two weeks ago, describes his winter retreat in a Palm Beach community and his membership in the exclusive Seminole golf club. The article is accompanied by a photo of Gleacher in Bermuda shorts and Adidas soccer shoes, practicing his swing:
"Mr Gleacher works at the Manhattan offices of BG five days a week. But most Fridays during New York's freezing winter he makes the two-and-a-half-hour flight to Palm Beach, the playground of America's wealthy retirees…..He spends the weekend golfing and reading. It is the life you would imagine a successful investment banker to lead."
We beg to differ. Even on the weekends, most busy bankers often find it difficult to find the time for that much reading and golf.
"A key question is how an M&A guy can effectively run a firm that is mostly fixed income trading,'' writes Trone.
The company's shares are down almost 7% to $4.15 today.

Age UK
|1 April 2009
|United Kingdom
Age UK is a registered charity in the United Kingdom,[1] formed on 25 February 2009, and launched on 1 April 2009, which combines the operations of the previously separate charities Age Concern and Help the Aged to form the UK's largest charity for older people.[2] The charity operated as "Age Concern and Help the Aged" until the new brand launch on 19 April 2010.[3] The brand also includes separate but interdependent charities for the UK regions : Age Scotland, Age Cymru and Age NI,[4][5] as well as its commercial services arm, Age UK Enterprises and new international charity, Age International.
The merger was the largest among charities in the UK since that of the Cancer Research Campaign and Imperial Cancer Research in 2002 to form Cancer Research UK.[6]
Age UK was formed from the merger of Help the Aged and Age Concern, creating an organisation with a combined income of around £160 million, including £47 million a year raised through fundraising, and over 520 charity shops, and income raised through its commercial services arm, Age UK Enterprises.
The merger was first confirmed in September, when Dianne Jeffrey was confirmed as the new chair of trustees.[7]
Tom Wright CBE, previously chief executive of VisitBritain, and Trustee of the Imperial War Museum was appointed Chief Executive of the new charity in November 2008.[8]
Age UK Enterprises[edit]
Age UK Enterprises offers products and services that are designed to either address market failure and/or meet its objective of offering products that provide value for money - for example, none of its insurance products have upper age limits.
Operating as a social enterprise, Age UK Enterprises' product range currently includes: Travel, Home and Motor Insurance (provided by Ageas Insurance Limited); Motor Breakdown cover (provided by Aria Assistance Limited); Gas and Electricity (provided by EOn Energy Solutions), Funeral Plan (provided by Dignity Funeral Plans), Annuities Service, Equity Release, Wills and Legal Services, Holidays, Lifebook and Personal Alarms.
Products and services can be purchased either online through Age UK's website, by telephone, or through the UK-wide network of Age Concerns/Age UK offices.
Age Concern[edit]
Age Concern's origins are British and can be traced back to a realisation in that country of the effects on aged people of the Second World War; the dislocation and breakdown of family life arising out of conscription led to a recognition that existing poor laws failed to provide effective support for old people separated from family support networks. In 1940, the Old People's Welfare Committee (OPWC), chaired by Eleanor Rathbone, was formed as a forum for discussion between government and voluntary organisations. OPWC was a sub-committee of Liverpool Personal Service Society (PSS). In 1944, the committee changed its name to the National Old People's Welfare Committee (NOPWC), and took on responsibility for coordinating the activities of numerous local OPWCs.
From the 1950s onwards, NOPWC accessed government and local funds associated with the post-war development of the welfare state, to provide services to local committees, and training to wardens of old people's homes.
In 1971, under the direction of David Hobman, the NOPWC changed its public name to Age Concern, and separated itself entirely from government and the National Council for Social Service, (now NCVO). It did so while also launching a 'manifesto for old age' and establishing itself nationally as a lobbying body as well as an organisation that engaged in service provision and enhancement, training and research.
The directors of Age Concern England have included David Hobman, Sally Greengross, and Gordon Lishman.
In 1986 Age Concern established an Institute of Gerontology at King's College London into which it folded its own Age Concern Research Unit.
Help the Aged[edit]
Help the Aged was founded in 1961 by Cecil Jackson-Cole, with the aim to free disadvantaged older people from poverty, isolation and neglect.
The two brand logos from the merged charities will gradually disappear now that the new Age UK brand has been launched (on 19 April 2010) and new brand-awareness develops during 2010. Hollywood stars Eleanor Bron, Brian Cox and Ian McKellen appeared in a series of TV advertisements to support the new charity. All three actors gave their time free of charge.[9]
Tom Wright, the new charity's Chief Executive, stated "Age Concern and Help the Aged is a single organisation with one clear objective - to make a real difference to the lives of older people. By combining the unique strengths, skills and experience of our two great charities, we have created one united organisation that will be stronger and more influential than ever before."[10][11]
Age UK helps to fund, and is aided with funds raised by, the national will-making scheme Will aid, in which participating solicitors waive their usual fee to write a basic will and in exchange invite the client to donate to charity.[12]
In January 2016, it was announced that Age UK's would be one of the chosen charities for Santander's The Discovery Project alongside Barnardo's. As well giving as financial donations to the charity project, Santander will also allow staff to volunteer on the phonelines.[13]
The Wireless[edit]
In April 2012, Age UK launched the The Wireless radio station. Initially an Internet-only station, broadcasting 24 Hours a day. Featuring Graham Dene (ex-Capital Radio and Virgin Radio) and David Hamilton (ex-BBC Radio, Capital Gold and Saga Radio) as the lead presenters, The Wireless provides "a mix of music, entertainment, and information to improve later life in the UK".[14]

To the Editor:—
With regard to the article in The Journal, March 9, on "Studies on Oxyuriasis: Efficiency of Gentian Violet in the Treatment of Pinworm Infestation" by Drs. Willard H. Wright and Frederick J. Brady, I should like to call attention to the use of "infusion of quassia" injected into the rectum. In a practice of more than fifty years, largely in a farming community, I never saw a failure with this treatment. To prevent reinfestation, cleanliness is of vital importance, particularly of the infected person's hands as well as of his clothing and bed clothing. Stools should be disinfected. Sleeping with an infected person should be forbidden. Raw fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed and cleansed, especially when used raw in salads.

October 26, 1998
In between soccer practice and a full class load at Leota Jr. High, Whitney Adkins is the leading lady in "Aladdin and the Arabian Nights." The production opened Oct. 23 and runs through Nov. 7 at Studio East in Kirkland on 402 6th St.
Adkins, a ninth grader, plays the character Scheherazade, the story teller. Her character tries to break a spell cast on the sultan by telling stories without giving the ending.
She enjoys this role because she says, "It's so mysterious." Scheherazade knows everything, "but only tells a little at a time."
Whitney Adkins made her first appearance on stage at the age of ten. Her mom signed her up for an audition at the Crossroads Community Theater. To her surprise, she got the part. Since then, Adkins has performed on stage in many community theater productions.
Currently, she's working on a lead dramatic performance for Leota presented by Todd Westendorf's advanced drama class.
She claims acting will always be a part of her life, though she's not sure she'll choose it as a lifelong profession. She also sings, dances and plays fullback for her soccer team the "Stars," a fitting name for a winning team, and also fitting for a young lady chosen from an audition of eighty others and who is now starring in a leading role.
For tickets call 425-827-3123. Showtimes are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30. Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2:30.

Discussing Laddering Application by the Means-End Chain
Theory (pp. 626-642)
PDF Full Text
Tania Modesto Veludo-de-Oliveira, Ana Akemi Ikeda, and Marcos Cortez Campomar
Abstract: This article aims at analyzing laddering as a technique of qualitative research, emphasizing the procedures for data collection, analysis and interpretation, and its main limitations as well. Laddering refers to an in-depth, one-on-one interviewing technique used to develop an understanding of how consumers translate the attributes of products into meaningful associations with respect to self, following means-end theory (Reynolds & Gutman, 1988, p. 12). The critical literature review shows that laddering is useful in studies on human behavior, especially those related to the Means-End Chain (MEC) model. For a successful application, highly trained interviewers, homogeneous groups of respondents, and the Laddermap should be taken into consideration. Key Words: Laddering, Methodology, Means-End Chain, Value, and Behavior
Dialectical Inquiry: A Structured Qualitative Research
Method (pp. 643-664)
PDF Full Text
Eli Berniker and David E. McNabb
Abstract: This paper presents Dialectical Inquiry (DI) as a structured qualitative research method for studying participant models of organizational processes. The method is applied to rich secondary anecdotal data on technology transfer, gathered by subject-matter experts in a large firm. DI assumes that the imposition of a dialectical structure will produce emergent theories in tacit use by organizational actors. As such, it serves as a meta-structure for grounded research. Three competing models were discovered in the data. Each model was analyzed in the context of other models to reveal governing assumptions and counter assumptions. It is demonstrated that each model grasps essential truths, but is necessarily incomplete, and would fail due to internal contradictions. The internal and external validity of the results were tested in a manner consistent with qualitative research. Key Words: Technology Transfer, Dialectic, Organizational Sensemaking, and Metastructure
Negotiated Boundaries: Conceptual Locations of Pregnancy and
Childbirth (pp.
PDF Full Text
Shannon Houvouras
Abstract: Dominant notions of reproduction perceive childbearing as physical processes that take place within womens bodies. This perception undermines non-physical components and removes men from the process. This project uses social constructionism to explore the locations women describe pregnancy and childbirth taking place in their childbearing narratives. Based on in-depth interviews with 15 mothers, findings reveal that women conceptualize childbearing as taking place in multiple locations: (1) within the female body, (2) within both the female body and a non-physical realm (e.g., emotional) of one or both partners, (3) detached from any particular location, and (4) within both partners bodies. Conceptualizing childbearing as something other than a purely physical event acknowledges non-physical elements of childbearing and allows greater participation among men. Key Words: Pregnancy, Childbirth, Body, Gender, and Father
A Critique of the Capacity of Strauss Grounded Theory for
Prediction, Change, and Control in Organisational Strategy via a
Grounded Theorisation of Leisure and Cultural Strategy (pp.
PDF Full Text
Ali Bakir and Vian Bakir
Abstract: In this paper we critique grounded theorys ability to fulfil its aim of offering a practical vehicle for prediction, change, and control as stipulated in grounded theorys original formulation by Glaser and Strauss, and later developed by Strauss. We do this through a case study approach, whereby we develop a grounded theory of leisure and cultural strategy within a local authority, and critically reflect on the process of grounded theorisation, together with its implications for generating practical tools in that most practical of academic fields; organisational strategy. We demonstrate that despite generating good grounded theory on leisure and cultural strategy, here termed navigational translation, that offers sociological insight, its claim to offer practical tools is inappropriate to the strategy field. Key Words: Leisure and Cultural Strategy, Grounded Theory, Coding, Generalisability, Prediction, Change and Control, and Navigational Translation
The Pre-Conceptual Map Methodology: Development and
Application (pp.

Shellie Hipsky
Abstract: The objective of this article is to present the Pre-Conceptual Map methodology as a formalized way to identify, document, and utilize preconceived assumptions on the part of the researcher in qualitative inquiry. This technique can be used as a stand alone method or in conjunction with other qualitative techniques (i.e., naturalistic inquiry). This document explains how to utilize the process and includes specific examples based on a formal study of the pilot of The Drama Discovery Curriculum. The article highlights the Pre-conceptual Map methodology for use by other researchers by examining: the need for the methodology, how it is related to the literature, the implications for other professions, and the contribution to the field of qualitative methodology. Key Words: Pre-Conceptual, Map, Qualitative, Methodology, Assumptions, Bias, and Research
Elaborating the Grounding of the Knowledge Base on
Language and Learning for Preservice Literacy Teachers (pp.
PDF Full Text
Carolyn L. Piazza and Cynthia Wallat
Abstract: This purpose of this article is to present a qualitative inquiry into the genesis of sociolinguistics and the contributions of eight sociolinguistic pioneers. This inquiry, based on an historical interpretation of events, reformulates the concept of validation as the social construction of a scientific knowledge base, and explicates three themes that offer a set of sociolinguistic constructs, questions, and propositions that can provide aspiring teachers with a frame of reference and set of guidelines for teaching language and literacy. An implication section, at the end of the article, illustrates sociolinguistic components that can be added to course syllabi in the preservice language and literacy curriculum. Key Words: Knowledge Base, Sociolinguistics, Preservice Literacy Teachers, and Language and Learning
Southern Rural Public Schools: A Study of Teacher
Perspectives (pp. 749-763)
PDF Full Text
Leah P. McCoy
Abstract: This ethnography explores teachers perspectives of the cultural issues affecting academic performance in twelve public high schools in rural Mississippi and Louisiana. From a thematic analysis of the tape-recorded interviews of forty-one mathematics teachers, five categories emerged, each comprising a qualitative aspect of teaching high school in an economically depressed area of the deep South: society, race, students, families, and schools. Each of these categories is discussed and explicated using exemplars from the interviews to show how each category emerged from the data. In addition, the relationships among these categories, which form a destructive cycle of poverty, low expectations, poor academic achievement, and inadequate opportunity, are discussed. Implications of this research for teachers and policy makers are explored. Key Words: Poverty, Race, Expectations, Apathy, Achievement, and Public Schools

Preservice Teachers' Professional Development in a
Community of Practice Summer Literacy Camp for Children At-Risk: A
Sociocultural Perspective (pp. 771-794)
PDF Full Text
Janet C. Richards
Abstract: This inquiry applied an innovative sociocultural framework to examine transformations in preservice teachers' professional development as they worked with children at-risk in a summer literacy camp. The camp incorporated a community of practice model in which teams of masters and doctoral students mentored small groups of preservice teachers. The study examined preservice teachers' learning following Rogoff's (1995, 1997) notions of the personal, interpersonal, and community planes of analysis. The research also employed a postmodernist crystallization imagery to capture multiple perspectives on the preservice teachers' growth. The study assigns importance to the contextual dimensions in which learning takes place, and emphasizes that learning is nourished by interactions with others. Key Words: Children At-Risk, Community of Practice, Personal Interpersonal and Community Planes of Analysis, Sociocultural Theories, and Summer Literacy Camp
Meeting the Needs of a Latino English Language Learner

Sylvia R. Taube, Barbara E. Polnick, and Jacqueline Minor Lane
Abstract: Over the years, Ms. Lanes third grade mathematics classroom had become increasingly diverse. Challenged by the growing population of English Language Learners (ELL) and her need to change her teaching practice to meet their needs, Ms. Lane selected to study how best to teach one of her greatest challenges, Ana, a Latino ELL who also had a learning disability. Ms. Lane and her two university mentors found that using a collaborative action research model provided a structure for researching, designing, and implementing strategies that helped Ana improve her mathematics performance. The university mentors found that they, too, benefited from working together as critical partners while assisting Ms. Lane in this collaborative action research.

A rendering of the FutureGen power plant.
As discussed previously, clean coal isn't an oxymoron. The idea is pretty simple: find a way to burn this cheap, abundant fuel source in an environmentally benign way.
That's the goal of FutureGen, a project between the U.S. government and some industrial partners to build a $1 billion, coal plant that will sequester carbon dioxide emissions.
Today, the FutureGen Alliance narrowed a list of a dozen potential sites from 12 states to four sites, two in Illinois, and two in Texas: Odessa and Jewett. I'm told that the University of Texas' Bureau of Economic Geology played a big role in landing the two finalists.
Given that the United States has more than one-quarter of the world's coal reserves, the FutureGen project seems like not only good scientific policy, but good public policy as well. And anyone concerned about carbon dioxide emissions should be eager to export this technology to China as soon as possible. To its credit, India already is a partner.
Here's hoping the test site lands in Texas — already the nation's leading producer of oil, gas and wind energy — when a final siting decision is made next year.

NEW CUMBERLAND - Tuesday's primary election ballot in Hancock County will have the names of two Democratic delegates or two Republican challengers who want to remove them from their District 1 seats.
But the party makeup of the District 1 delegation will have to wait because all four candidates will advance to the Nov. 4 election.
Incumbents Ronnie Jones and Randy Swartzmiller, both D-Hancock, are seeking re-election. Mark Zatezalo and Pat McGeehan are the Republican challengers.

Jones, 60, of Weirton, is seeking his third term in the House of Delegates. Retired after 40 years with the Weirton Area Water Board, Jones points to his four-year record on issues such as health care.
"I will continue working hard to make sure our citizens can stay in the area and make a decent living," Jones said.
Jones currently serves on the Government Organization, Political Subdivisions, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security committees. He also is vice chairman of the Pensions and Retirement Committee.

Early voting ends today
Review Staff Reports
NEW CUMBERLAND - Today is the last day for early voting in Hancock County prior to Tuesday's West Virginia primary election.
Early voting is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today in the Hancock County Clerk's Election Office, located on the first floor of the Hancock County Courthouse.
Polls open again at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and will close at 7:30 p.m. Hancock County has 25 polling sites.
Hancock County Commissioner Dan Greathouse is running for re-election and faces a challenge from fellow Democrat Joe Barnabei. The six-year term starts in January 2015.
Hancock County school board members John Manypenny, Toni Hinerman and Laura Greathouse are running for re-election and face a challenge from Michelle Chappell. The three top vote-getters will win election and will take office July 1.
Hancock County Clerk George Foley is on the ballot to continue the unexpired term of retired Clerk Eleanor Straight. Republican Michael "Freddie" Capito also is seeking the post. They will face each other in November.
State Delegates Randy Swartzmiller and Ronnie Jones, both D-Hancock, are running for re-election. On the Republican ballot are Chester resident Pat McGeehan and Weirton resident Mark Zatezalo.
McGeehan, 34, of Chester, said his general election campaign will be about fiscal responsibility at the state level and constitutional rights.
"I believe in the virtues of constitutional government, and I'd like to be able to aid in that cause and help the folks around here," he said.
McGeehan was a Republican delegate for the 1st District, which covers all of Hancock County and part of Brooke County, from 2008 to 2010.
Rather than seek re-election, he ran for the state Senate District 1 seat vacated by Sen. Ed Bowman in 2010 and lost in the Republican primary. He ran in District 1 again in 2012 but lost to incumbent Sen. Jack Yost, D-Brooke.
While McGeehan hopes to be part of a new Republican majority in the House of Delegates, he is wary of partisan labels. "I think the Republicans can be just as bad as the Democrats. That's something the people should realize," he said.
McGeehan signed up for the District 1 race in January after dropping out of the race for U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller's seat.
Swartzmiller, 53, of Chester, is running for his eighth House term and campaigning for the first time as speaker pro tempore. "To me, campaigning is being out and about, talking to people. I do that all the time," he said.
As November approaches, Swartzmiller said he will focus on the local economy, the state budget and gun rights. In the most recent session, the state legislature had to dip into the state's rainy day fund to address an anticipated budget shortfall.
"I've always seen jobs and growing the economy as the No. 1 issue that's out there. You always want to have good paying jobs with benefits," he said.
Zatezalo, 62, of Weirton, is making his first run for public office by focusing on energy policy and public education. A hydrogeologist with more than 35 years' experience, Zatezalo also is chairman of the Weirton Redevelopment Authority.
"I want to make sure that the state's energy resources are developed properly," he said. "Because of the Marcellus Shale, the U.S. is self-sufficient in natural gas. We now produce more natural gas than we use."
Zatezalo said it's a "distinct possibility" that the House of Delegates will switch to a Republican majority following the November election. Republicans currently have 47 seats in the 100-seat House.
State GOP Chairman Conrad Lucas told the Wheeling Intelligencer in February that Republicans are fielding candidates for every legislative seat that's on the ballot this year, while Democrats have left 19 seats currently held by Republicans uncontested.

Looking for some extra $$? Seasonal positions now available
Major retailers across the Lehigh Valley are bringing on seasonal workers to help with the upcoming holiday rush. And the applications are already pouring in.
"We are currently seeking applications," shared Jared Lyman, Executive Team Leader of Human Resources for Target's Cedar Crest Boulevard location.
He says holiday hiring is in full swing. Job seekers could have a part-time spot for the next two months.
"We're looking to hire about sixty people in the store, and bring them on as seasonal team members until about the month of January."
The store is hoping to fill over-night back room and stocking positions, and bring in folks for the front of the store working as cashiers.
"We also have sales floor positions that help our guests," added Lyman. "Their main job is to make sure everybody leaves with what they need for the holiday."
The temporary staff handles the extra inventory, and extra shoppers brought on by the holiday rush.
"We get really, really busy, we're one of the busiest Target stores in the country, so little Allentown gets pretty busy here during the holidays," Lyman smiled.
Nationwide, Target plans to bring on 70,000 Christmas-time workers, and they're not alone. Wal-Mart will take on 55,000 new jobs, and Toys R Us hopes to hire 45,000 seasonal workers.

OCEAN CITY, N.J. - Voters in this "dry" Jersey Shore town - where alcohol has never been legally served in public since the town's founding as a religious summer retreat in the 1880s - Tuesday soundly defeated a proposal to allow diners to bring their own beer or wine to restaurants.
Officials said 3,127 voters - nearly the number who cast ballots in last November's election - said no to the measure proffered by a local restaurant association that would have allowed the practice known as BYOB.
Only 1,425 said they favored changing the rule in this northern Cape May County beach town, where the issue was hotly debated for more than 16 months.

Junior wide receiver Andrew Mrozek of Lancaster has been selected by Beyond Sports Network (BSN) to the Preseason Division III All-American Football Team. As a sophomore in 2012, Mrozek led the Golden Eagles with 929 receiving yards on 48 catches, averaging nearly 20 yards per catch and a team-leading nine touchdowns.
Brockport will be coached this fall by longtime assistant Jason Mangone of Lancaster. Mangone takes over for Rocco Salomone, the winningest coach in Brockport football history. Salomone has been named an assistant athletic director.
Mangone, who joined the football coaching staff in 1999, steered the Golden Eagles' offense to record production in 2012. He started at quarterback for the Golden Eagles during the 1997 and 1998 seasons and set single season records for completion percentage and efficiency rating.

Sound blaster +mp3 usb card
I am having trouble getting my usb sound card to work. Anyone know of any tips to get it working? If you need any info, let me know and I'll post back as soon as. Thanx JamesB
Not enough information...
USB sound is normally natively supported. It should just show up on your Jack control setup panel. If not, either your device is not supported by linux (unlikely) or the connection might be broken somehow (I had a plug out inside the pc box once.) If another piece of USB hardware works from that port, like a usb mouse, you can rule that out. Check out the Jack quickstart tutorial in the tutorial section, here http://www.64studio.com/quickstart_jack Hope it works out, Cheers
JACK changed hardware ports on me
As Quentin wrote, look at the JACK tutorial, I got things working first time with this. But watch out because the next time I logged in 64studio had changed my sound card to hw0 and I had to re-do JACK. Been OK since though. "1807 - end of slave trade; 2007 - end of unfair trade"

To evaluate the palatability of antibiotics effective against β-lactamase—producing bacteria in children and to compare the results obtained with those obtained in adults.
A taste test of 4 antibiotic suspensions: a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (banana), azithromycin (cherry), clarithromycin (wild fruit), and a combination of erythromycin and sulfisoxazole (strawberry-banana).
Outpatient setting.
A volunteer sample of 50 healthy children (mean±SD age, 6.3±1.3 years) and 20 adults.
Main Outcome Measures:
After each antibiotic test dose, subjects rated its taste on a 10-cm visual analog scale incorporating a facial hedonic scale.
The mean±SD taste scores of the antibiotics as rated by the children were as follows: amoxicillin—clavulanic acid, 5.7±3.6 cm; azithromycin, 6.8±3.2 cm; clarithromycin, 3.7±3.6 cm; and erythromycin-sulfisoxazole, 4.9±3.5 cm. The mean±SD taste score for erythromycin-sulfisoxazole (ie, 2.7±2.3) assigned by the adults was significantly different than that given by the children (P=.01) with no difference noted for the other 3 drugs. Children and adults both selected azithromycin most often as best tasting. There was a significant difference in the proportions selecting each antibiotic as worst tasting, with the children tending to dislike clarithromycin and the adults tending to dislike erythromycin-sulfisoxazole (P=.03).
The taste of azithromycin was rated most highly by both children and adults, who also selected this antibiotic most often as best tasting. Differences in taste-testing results between children and adults suggest that evaluation of the palatability of medications intended for use in pediatrics should be conducted in children.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1997;151:599-602

When Phil and Deborah Van Poetsch tried to donate their old bedroom set to charity in 1995, they couldn't find an organization to take it. "Most charities," Phil says, "can't even afford the warehouse space in Silicon Valley to store it." Undeterred, Van Poetsch piled the pieces into his pickup truck and delivered them to a needy family himself. "It really struck him how thankful that family was for what we thought was just our old junky stuff," says Deborah, 38, who, like her husband, is an estate manager for a wealthy family. "He was touched."
And inspired. With $100,000 from anonymous donors, Van Poetsch, 49, created the New Start Furniture Fund, a nonprofit program that picks up unwanted furniture and distributes it to low-income families. "We are living in perhaps the most affluent area in the United States," says Van Poetsch, who resides in Cupertino, Calif., with Deborah, their daughter Emily, 9, and twin sons Luke and Giles, 7. "A lot of furniture is being thrown out."
Employing two trucks and four full-time workers, the fund gave more than 9,000 pieces of furniture to 579 families last year, averaging 15 pieces per family. "Some people have 10 or 11 children," says Van Poetsch. "I could never say, 'Sorry, only five beds per family.' " At New Start's warehouse in Menlo Park, clients select the items they need—all cleaned and disinfected—for a flat $25 administrative fee. "If it wasn't for them, I would be sleeping on a wet floor," says Jeannette Stewart, 53, who was referred to New Start by the American Red Cross in January after she lost all her furniture in a flood. "It's like Christmas, but better."

An outline of the bioterrorism-related topics that should be addressed to students ranging from non-biology majors to microbiology majors. The outline was developed by the participants of the Ninth Annual ASM Undergraduate Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Niel R. Baker
The Ohio State University
Chair, Undergraduate Education Committee of ASM
One of the outcomes of the Ninth ASM Undergraduate Education Conference held at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in May, 2002, was a set of curriculum recommendations for teaching bioterrorism. The 100+ participants were placed into twelve groups based on their teaching audience, and each group was assigned the task of developing an outline of the topics that should be addressed. Although the teaching audiences ranged from non-biology majors to microbiology majors, the outlines were very similar, thus one summary outline is presented below. Every attempt has been made to include input from all of the groups. This summary recommendation is meant to serve as an outline for planning; it does not provide detailed information about each topic. Such information can be found in the resources provided at the end of the article.

MOUNT PLEASANT Town officials here joined with Charleston County Council members and other dignitaries to celebrate the early, substantial completion of the Johnnie Dodds Highway.
The $80 million project added a lane in each direction from the base of the Ravenel bridge to Interstate 526.
We could not be more positive about this job, Mayor Billy Swails said to a crowd of about 100 people gathered at the old Miller Cadillac site near Mathis Ferry Road.
While the highway now has three working lanes in each direction, construction work is expected to continue on the frontage roads and other nearby sections for at least another month.
County Councilman Herb Sass said the project, paid for largely with the countys half-cent sales tax approved in 2004, was tweaked at the requests of businesses and residents.
Most thanks should go to the merchants and citizens who dealt with the orange cones every day, he said.
