The Source for Interventional
News and Education
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.—Data presented at the TCT 2011 meeting show that dual antiplatelet therapy does not reduce mortality compared with aspirin alone in high-risk patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic stenosis.
The results of the study, SAT-TAVI, were presented by Eugenio Stabile, MD, PhD, of Clinica Montevergine, in Italy and showed that TAVR can be performed safely without dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Summarizing his findings, Stabile noted that, aspirin alone "does not increase the rate of combined safety endpoint at 30 days, but is associated with a reduced rate of vascular complications."
SAT-TAVI included 172 patients with high-risk aortic stenosis, and results included 120 of these patients, who were randomly assigned, 60 in each group, to either aspirin alone or aspirin and a thienopyridine.
Patients received a detailed clinical assessment and serial blood testing. At months 1 and 6, patients underwent a clinical echocardiogram.
Stabile said that at 6 months, all-cause mortality was similar between the two groups at approximately 5%.
Regarding vascular complications, Stabile noted a reductions in major and minor complications with aspirin alone (13% vs. 5%; P=.03), but he said, the study was underpowered to demonstrate this difference.
"When we look at bleeding at 30 days, there is a trend toward major and minor bleeding reductions [with aspirin]," Stabile said. Rates of all bleeding at 30 days were 15% with dual antiplatelet therapy and 10% with aspirin alone respectively (see Figure).
He added that there was also a trend toward reducing the number of transfused blood units with aspirin alone.
Stabile reported that two major strokes—one in each group—occurred during the procedures.
In the United States, trials are ongoing with DAPT for 3 months, then continuing aspirin or clopidogrel. If a patient is on warfarin (Coumadin, Bristol-Myers Squibb), the patient is given one or the other.
Study details
Patients were included if they had severe aortic stenosis, defined as having an echo-derived AVA < 0.8 cm2 and mean AVG > 40 mm Hg or peak jet velocity > 4.0 m/s. Also, these patients had cardiac symptoms that were defined as NYHA functional class ≥ 2 and were likely to undergo surgery.

If I can't get to the gym sounds like a valid excuse for not exercising, think again: Those words don't hold water here, because inSHAPE's trainers meet clients at work, at home, and pretty much anywhere else. Avid runner and personal trainer Jill Redfern opened her studio in 1997 and has been tailoring workouts to fit client's schedules ever since. Although Pilates is her main focus, fitness regimens incorporate Bosu balls, Central Park circuit training (just a half-block away), and pre- and-postnatal workouts. Clients who do visit the studio find a white, airy room (one client at a time), sparse equipment, and hardwood floors. The feel is not unlike a dance rehearsal space, and the buff mommies coming and going seem well on their way to sculpting ballerina bodies. The studio also offers bridal training (nutrition and exercise to facilitate a lower-stress wedding day), dietary counseling, and deep-tissue and Thai massage.

All season long, the crops have matured at faster rates than normal. This has led to an accelerated timeline in the season, and now harvest is underway earlier than normal.
"We are just getting started with harvest. We are about a week or two ahead of where we normally would be. What's being taken out now is the dryland corn that is seeing the stress of the drought. Hopefully we will be working through that, and then we will get into the irrigated corn," said Kelly Brunkhorst, Director of Research for the Nebraska Corn Board.
"Corn in the dent stage reached 93 percent, ahead of 66 last year and 70 average. Corn mature reached 36 percent, compared to two last year and 19 days ahead of five percent average. Corn conditions rated 22 percent very poor, 21 poor, 27 fair, 28 good, and two excellent, well below 76 percent good to excellent last year and 77 average. Irrigated corn conditions rated 50 percent good to excellent and dryland corn rated three," according to the September 4 crop report by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office.
The report also stated that corn harvested for grain was seven percent, compared to zero percent last year and average. "Dryland corn harvest continues while harvest of high moisture and seed corn picked up momentum. Numerous drought damaged corn fields have been chopped for silage or baled for hay," it said.
The number of acres harvested for silage this year in Nebraska is expected to be much higher than last year. "We are going to see a lot more dryland corn that is cut for silage this year. We are guessing we will have 400,00-600,000 acres harvested for silage, and a good portion of that is off of dryland. We have been in a downward pattern in regards to silage acres for corn. Last year we harvested about 160,000 acres of corn for silage," said Brunkhorst.
The large increase in the number of acres harvested for silage is a direct result of the drought. The high moisture corn that is being harvested is generally for use in beef operations.
For dryland farmers who are looking to harvest, Brunkhorst suggests talking with their crop insurance agents before they do anything. "Make sure you visit with your crop insurance agent up front for options. They will have test strips that they take, and depending on the yield, you may be eligible for insurance payments," he said.
It is expected that the average yield will be lower this year than it was last year, but only after harvest will farmers know how much lower it really is. "The USDA has us down on bushels per acre from last year. When they took some of those estimates, the crop was maturing out pretty quickly. Hopefully that gave them a pretty good estimate and we will be close to that," Brunkhorst stated.
He continued, "What we have heard from our producers is they think irrigated corn should be OK. Some producers were able to keep up and when the corn was filling, we had a little cooler weather. It's just a matter of having some patience and seeing what comes out when the combine goes through it."
In other crops, sorghum headed was 88 percent, behind 99 last year and 98 average. Sorghum turning color was 29 percent, compared to 65 last year and 49 average. Sorghum conditions rated nine percent very poor, 40 poor, 37 fair, 14 good, and zero excellent, well below 78 percent good to excellent last year and average, according to the report.
The report also stated that the fourth cutting of alfalfa was 46 percent complete, compared to 15 last year and 12 average. Alfalfa condition rated 45 percent very poor, 29 poor, 17 fair, 8 good, and one excellent, well below 77 percent good to excellent last year and 70 average.
Dry beans turning color were 62 percent, compared to 56 last year and average. Dry beans dropping leaves were 18 percent, compared to 28 last year and 19 average. Dry bean conditions rated one percent very poor, eight poor, 46 fair, 42 good, and three excellent, well below 62 percent good to excellent last year and 69 average.
Pasture and range conditions rated 72 percent very poor, 24 poor, four fair, zero good, and zero excellent, well below 72 percent good to excellent last year and 69 average.
"With pasture conditions in over 95 percent of the state rated in poor or very poor condition, cattle producers continue supplemental feeding of livestock. Culling and marketing of livestock continues due to reduced forage supplies," the report stated.
Another risk that all farmers and ranchers face is the risk of fire. There have been several fires in the state over the last few weeks, and diligence is the best way to prevent these fires from starting due to equipment.
"Fire risk remains high with producers encouraged to monitor harvesting equipment," the report stated.
Brunkhorst suggests that producers make sure to keep up with the maintenance on their equipment, including having tight, functioning belts and good bearings. "There are parts on the equipment that can create a spark. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy with the drought out there, just in case," he said.
He added, "Look at the potentials to reduce that incidence, and you should be OK." ❖

|Re: vote for the worst 1% weasel
Who Are The One Percent?
by Brave New Foundation
Who's using their wealth to damage our economy and democracy? You tell us. Check out our nominees and vote to choose the worst among them. Then we'll make a series of videos exposing the ones you pick. Go ahead and vote. Start to take your democracy back.
Know the Facts
• In just the last generation, the richest 1% almost quadrupled their incomes.
• The average wealth of the 1% is 225 times bigger than the wealth of the typical household – the highest it's ever been.
• Three decades ago, CEOs made about 40 times as much as an average worker – now CEOs make almost 200 times as much as regular employees.
• Last year, half of Americans earned less than $26,000 while CEOs at top 500 companies raked in an average of $11 million.
• Over the past decade, earnings for middle-class Americans actually fell. In fact, working Americans' wages are now a lower percentage of our economy than they've ever been.
• The divide between the richest and the poorest is worse in America than it is in nearly all of Europe and Asia and much of Africa. It's about as bad as in Rwanda and Serbia – and it's bad for our economy.
• The 1% is not an accident – it is the result of policies our government chose to pursue.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSheraton Palace Hotel Moscow
The Sheraton Palace hotel is in a good central location in Moscow. A bit of a walk to the Kremlin, but doable. While wif is free, it is also basically non existent. It barely worked the two days I was there. Very difficult if you are there on business, as I was. The breakfast buffet is lovely though, if you have time to enjoy it.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Palace Hotel Moscow
Very pleased with the Sheraton Palace
I just returned from Moscow for a long weekend stay and was very pleased. I made the reservations online directly through the hotel. They provided the visa support documents and answered my questions via email very promptly. They also arranged transportation from Domodedovo to the hotel. I saved some money by booking over a weekend and a delightful breakfast was included. The room was a good size, and the hotel was extremely accomodating providing a rollaway bed for our daughter. The staff was friendly and spoke English. I would definitely stay there again if I ever return to Moscow. It was a very good location.
Decent enough.
Stayed at the hotel for 1 night before catching the train. If staying at a business hotel of this nature I've normally stayed at Hiltons, so I can't compare it to others in the Sheraton family.
The location is very good with a 5 minute walk to Belorusskaya train and metro station and a 10 minute walk to Mayakovskaya metro station. Being on Tverskaya Ul meant it was easy to find also near many restaurants and shops. The room was a good size and the bed was large and very comfortable. The breakfast staff was attentive and the buffet spread was good, but as I was the only one there at the time I'd expect the service to be quick and good. The staff smiled alot and spoke at least decent to good English.
Email communications were poor. I sent two emails to two different front office people at the hotel and never received any word back. I wanted to confirm train tickets had been delivered to the hotel ahead of my stay and not receiving any word about them was annoying. The tickets were there when I arrived, but from a hotel of apparently high standards receiving no reply isn't acceptable. Apart from the large bed the room was drab and the bathroom counter almost non existent. It all just seemed rather average. While my reservation included a 4pm checkout, the reception staff said that wasn't so. It wasn't that big of a deal, but served as another example of sub standard service.
One other thing (which is apparently the norm in Moscow) is that the hotel charges by units which are pegged to the rouble. This led to my stay being 8 pounds more than initially quoted, but as I've read other people having seriously inflated bills I figure I'd take the few extra pounds. 1=30 when I checked in, but had dropped to 1=28 when I checked out.
All things being considered if I was in a hurry and didn't have many choices I would stay there again, but on a return to Moscow (which I thought was great in my brief 36 hours there) I'd book further ahead and use a company like [-] to get me a good deal somewhere else.
I got a three nights for two deal for the weekends so it was truly value for money. For a hotel this quality $200 per night is great in moscow. Weekdays were too high.
Overall I'd say that I have stayed in better Sheratons. Location is nice in the sense that it is on Tverskaya-Yamaskaya1 close to Belloruskaya Station and metro. Marriot Yamaskaya is close by too.
Carpets in the room are worn out or dark blue ugly. Rooms have a safe in case you need piece of mind. Big enough for a laptop. Lobby is a bit small for a hotel of this repute. And smoke permeates everywhere (standard Russian feature.) Staff speaks English but is not conversational. Atmosphere is tense as in all Russian hotels. Militia guards the entrance of this hotel with a metal detector, but not once did they check me.
All said and done, it's a great hotel by Moscow standards and I'd stay there again. Staff in cafe mozart is extremely good and polite and hard working. Look for deals on Sheraton website, which is where I found the 2+1 deal. Saved about $400 dollars.
Happy at the Sheraton Palace
I just stayed at the Sheraton Plalace Hotel in Moscow last week
while traveling independently in Russia with my teenage son and we liked it a lot. Our room was comfortable and imaculate with a good size bathroom, big towels and sumptuous bathrobes, each with a pair of slippers tucked into their belts. The beds were heavenly - one of my prime reasons for picking the Sheraton - and soooo welcome near the end of our long, tiring but thoroughly wonderful trip. I particualrly appreciated that the hotel provided each of us with a complimentary bottle of water by our bedside that we could use for brushing our teeth. I had been buying bottles of it to use in St Petersburg.
The main staff speaks English and was noticably friendly and helpful which I can report is remarkable for Russia. Russians as a rule tend not to show emotion to strangers. They are polite, but usually quite guarded, smiles are few and far between. That was not so at this hotel. The Chief Concierge Luda Vanukhina, a motherly type, clearly enjoys introducing people to her city. She was great with us and I watched her work patiently with others. She not only carefully answers every question, but she sooths away first-time-visitor to Russia worries and makes good suggestions based on people's interests. She goes over everything as many times as tired or jet lagged people need - which can be a lot - and encourages them to explore Moscow.
Neither my son nor I spoke Russian or read Cyrilic yet we felt comfortable on the Metro after following her instructions. The nearest station, Mayakovskaya - spectacular with all of its mosaics, is just a few blocks up Tverskaya from the hotel and just three stops from Red Square and the Bolshoi. Sounds far, but actually is not. I timed it twice, from our hotel door to Red Square took exactly ten minutes by Metro. Sometimes my son and I would walk halfway back from the Red Square area stopping along the way to shop or poke around - Yelisov's Deli has to be experienced to be believed - then we would take the Metro the short hop "home" from Pushkin Square. We occassionally grabbed a cab after bargaining down the drivers to 2-300 r and could have easily taken the inexpensive trolly-trams which run along Tverskaya.
We did not eat at the hotel as we were out and on the run early until very late. There are some nice coffee shops along the way to the Metro where we would stop and grab a croissant, coffee and juice for 160r each. I had been told that the hotel's breakfast is good but expensive, at about $35 per person, so we did not try it.
Another thing I liked, the hotel's security was excellent which made me happy. We had to use our room card just to operate the elevator which meant that "working ladies" would have a hard time accessing the rooms. As my son is 15, I did not want any offering to keep him company - if you know what I mean. After reading reviews of other Moscow hotels - including ones that several tours would have put us in - and listening to my daughter who traveled there last year and saw them at her hotel, I realized that such a thing does happen in many Moscow hotels.
While this hotel was not walking distance to everything, it was safe, clean and comfortable by western standards and easy to get everywhere. As a woman traveling on her own with a teen, I can definitely recommend it.
Great experience
Top notch hotel - rooms, lobby and restaurant are all impeccably maintained. Property is modern, updated and very clean. Service is attentive, thoughtful and welcoming. Staff is very helpful with those who do not speak Russian. Good location and good value considering how expensive Moscow is. Good stay for leisure and business stays, family friendly. This property is highly-recommended by us and we plan to return.
Good amenities but not great value
Found the Sheraton Palace a comfortable haven in cold and non-English speaking Moscow. Very nice staff, all with super English language skills. Good help with booking restaurants. Super comfortable beds and very quiet rooms. Had a snafu with a car the hotel booked for us that was late, driver got lost, almost ran out of gas, you get the picture. Location is average - - 30 min walk to Kremlin, etc. Dings on the hotel: breakfast is weak but was included in my rate, other food in the hotel looked very average, high speed access very expensive. Would only stay here again if rate was lower (paid $220) and couldn't find other good business hotel.
I'll be back again!
What a delightful place to stay! Convenient location, outstanding accommodations, and a friendly staff which goes all out to make you feel right at home. The concierge gave me excellent advice on haggling with the vendors on the Arbat. The buffet servers smiled and kept the wonderful breakfast food coming. One damp evening the staff even brought me a fan so I could keep my window open and enjoy the sound of Moscow in the rain. My favorite character, though, was the very serious looking man in a dark suit who turned suddenly to me with a goofy grin and asked me "How do you think I do at speaking English?" Going by US standards, the Sheraton Palace appears to be very expensive - but Moscow is a very expensive place to stay and the Sheraton Palace is actually an excellent value. So much so, in fact, that when I return to Moscow next summer I am definitely staying there, even though I will have to pay for it myself this time!
Awesome hotel if you read this review
I stayed at this hotel beginning of August, 2005. They advertise as a businessmans hotel, and they live up to it in every way. First - if you are going to be in Moscow as a strict tourist with or without a family, and want Russian charm, a sweet smile at every turn or a concierge that sits around all day ready to suggest nice places to let your kids play on the swings, this hotel may not be for you. They are all business, ready to respond to every need with precise actions from everyone at the front desk who suggested transport, stores nearby etc. My requests were all handled professionally and immediately. The room was very modern and nicely appointed, large enough with a well laid out bathroom. Always impeccably clean. The elevators are in their own separate vestibule so even a room right near the elevators will not hear them as the hallway is so wide. There are no views to speak of. The hotel is located a 10 minute walk from 2 different metro stations covering 3 lines as well as an awesome 24 hour supermarket. The hotel says they are a 20 minute walk from Red Square - I'm young and walk very fast and it took me 30 minutes, but the walk is straight down one street and very easy.
I had been camping for 2 weeks and wanted something modern and comfortable and american. This hotel was a perfect choice for me. The breakfast is a bit pricey at $27 including all taxes etc. and is buffet only. Overall, very worth it as the choices were well done, eggs not over cooked, a huge choice of food, both russian and american and professional service. You walk in, sign the check right there, take any table, buffet to your hearts content and can leave as soon as you are ready, I was not rushed at all. Again, as a businessman would want it. There is a kettle with tea, coffee and chocolate in the room as well as a hair dryer. The tub is a bit narrow but that is the only comment I can make.
One tip, they will offer to arrange transport to the airport but all they tell you about is the Mercedes car at $99 per trip. If you ask, they will call a taxi for you (needs to be done in advance, no taxi rank waiting at entrance) and it's 850 roubles to Sheremetyevo airport ($30.00).
I highly recommend this hotel if it fits your expectations!
Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in!
Myself and my fianc� stayed in the Sheraton Palace Hotel, Moscow in August 2003 and it was a wonderful experience all-round.
Firstly, the staff were very helpful in all matters.
Secondly, the food was beautiful, particularly the breakfast buffets which had a large, varied selection of delicious foods of which you could eat as much as you liked.
Thirdly, the beds were extremely comfortable with the softest bed linen I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing!
I would highly recommend this hotel for a very comfortable and luxurious stay.
Great place to stay, though... do not go to the bar!!!
This new hotel is definitely above average and the service is excellent. The rooms are fashionably designed, though � art� works look more like students� projects� Still, the overall room quality is exceptional. The staff is more than helpful, though they all look stiff � never smiling� The biggest discontent was the café � Mozart� . The staff there are unprofessional, unskilled and every menu choice was a great disappointment! Do not eat/drink there! Would recommend staying; just try to avoid any unpleasant experience at � Mozart� .

Brady OKs contract to become NFLs top paid player
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)A day that started badly for Tom Brady(notes) turned out to be a pretty good one after all.
After a morning crash left Bradys car damaged but the New England Patriots quarterback unhurt, he came to terms on a contract that will make him the highest paid player in the NFL.
Two people with knowledge of the contract said Thursday night that Brady has agreed to a four-year extension beginning in 2011.
Related CoverageBrady OK after car accident AdChoices
It has a value of $18 million per year with a total of $48.5 million guaranteed, one of those persons said. Both persons spoke on condition of anonymity because the paperwork had not yet been filed with the NFL.
Brady is making $6.5 million this season in the final year of a six-year deal.
The extension was first reported by Peter King of Sports Illustrated during halftime of NBCs telecast of the Minnesota-New Orleans game.
The average value of Bradys deal surpasses that of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning(notes), who agreed this year to a six-year, $97.5 million ($16.25 million average) extension starting next year. Hes making $9.4 million this season.
Peyton Manning(notes) is in the final year of a seven-year, $98 million deal ($14 million average) and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said he intends to make his quarterback the NFLs highest paid player.
Bradys contract differs from those two deals in that it pays him a higher average salary over a shorter period of time. He has said he would like to play 10 more seasons. He is currently playing under a four-year extension with an average value of $12 million that he signed with two years left on his previous deal.
Bradys new agreement, which expires when he will be 37, came on a day in which the black Audi being driven by the two-time Super Bowl MVP was involved in a two-car crash near his home in Bostons Back Bay. Police responded to the scene at about 6:30 a.m. after reports of an accident, police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said.
The 21-year-old driver of a red minivan involved in the crash, Ludgero Rodrigues, was cited Thursday for failing to stop at a red light, based on witnesses statements, police said. Two other people were able to exit the minivan and had no visible injuries, they said.
The police report, which did not name Brady, said the driver of the Audi had no visible injuries and was evaluated by Emergency Medical Services. It said a 49-year-old passenger had to be freed with the Jaws of Life and was taken to a hospital.
Brady wasnt hospitalized and went to Gillette Stadium where he took part in a walkthrough practice at about 10:45 a.m. At the full practice starting shortly after 1 p.m., he stretched with his teammates, threw passes and participated in the entire session in full uniform.
The Patriots begin their season Sunday at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Brady has had a strong exhibition season after throwing for 4,398 yards, second-most in his career, in 2009. His 28 touchdown passes tied for second in his career. That followed a 2008 season in which he suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee in the opener. He played late last season with finger and rib injuries but appeared healthy since the team began training camp in late July.
The Patriots drafted Brady in the sixth round out of Michigan in 2000 and he has been the starter since the third game in 2001 after Drew Bledsoe was injured. Brady was named MVP of the Super Bowl that season and in the 2003 season. He also was part of the team that won the championship after the 2004 season.
In 2007, he was named MVP of the NFL when the Patriots were 18-0 before losing the Super Bowl 17-14 to the New York Giants on a last-minute touchdown.

Rifles for deer hunting in Indiana next year?
Shooting Activities and Venues
> Rifles for deer hunting in Indiana next year?
November 13, 2006, 05:52 PM
I heard an unsubstantiated rumor today that beginning next year, Indiana will allow rifles shooting pistol-class cartridges to be used for deer hunting. Can anybody substantiate that?

Nope, don't know nothin', but I say rumor is good nuf for ya to go pick out a nice Marlin 94 in .44 mag. ;) :D
November 13, 2006, 07:25 PM
Must suck being in a state that doesn't allow rifles for hunting :(
November 13, 2006, 08:00 PM
Well, yeah, it does. I try to off set that by using an Omega front loader. So far, that's as good as it gets. My first deer was with a flintlock Hawkin, so the laws kinda forced me to do something that I wouldn't have otherwise, and it's quite a memory. But I do look forward to using my Win 94 (.357) if this is true.
November 14, 2006, 08:56 AM
I shot one with my Rossi 92 in .357 once and it did a good job. Was a small doe, though, but the wound was impressive with a 158 grain hard cast SWC.
I never really understood the not using a rifle thing in states like Indiana. Are there no open areas? Are you hunting in the back yard in a crowded neighborhood? Weird. There's houses back behind me where I hunt and I use rifles. I am set up facing the big ranch in front of me, no houses anywhere I can see to shoot, but still, it's not in the middle of nowhere. I've never been past New Albany north in Indiana, but I can't imagine it's any more crowded than most of the eastern half of Texas.

Thie was voted on in the year and is subject to change.

Finally, at long last, of course, this is sort of legalizing what may already be transpiring . . . er, so I have heard.:uhoh: :neener:
MCGunner, you are not alone. Funny how we can use a .308 to shoot coyotes with but not deer. However, one can use a centerfire rifle to shoot Bambi if you have a predation permit. Is your head hurting yet?:D
This is a welcome change and a step to ridding us on the silly "no centerfire rifle" rule.:)
November 14, 2006, 04:25 PM
There seems to be a trend of once shot-gun only areas converting to rifle. I think Iowa has gone rifle and western Minnesota has done so just this year. I can't imagine the country's getting less populated. Don't know what the reasoning is. Maybe the shotgun is just too ineffective at controlling a growing farm-country deer population.

November 14, 2006, 05:21 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but how are slugs any less likely to travel long distances and hit people than rifles. They travel just as far don't they. They are just inaccurate at a longer range. We are worried about stray rounds right? That's why we ban rifles in states like Ohio and Indiana. It just doesn't make since to ban rifles, but what do I know. :confused:
El Tejon
November 14, 2006, 05:44 PM
Algore, the centerfire rifle prohibition is only for normal deer hunting. It does not apply to a predation permit or to critters like coyotes. I have never understood this logic (or lack thereof).
IDNR Magic: At regular firearms deer season my 6.5x55mm is too dangerous; however, if I take it along to shoot coyotes or to shoot deer on a Christmas tree farm, centerfire rifle is okey-dokey and safe to fluffy bunnies and THE CHILDREN.:scrutiny:
November 14, 2006, 07:23 PM
I suspect that they were trying to make it simple. Pistols less than .357 mag were not allowed. Any other pistol was. Shotgun slugs are short range rounds (circa 1960's). Muzzle loaders shoot round balls and are relatively short range firearms.
Then companies come out and make "pistols" in .308. Shotguns have 2,000 fps sabots. Muzzle loaders have sabots that are equivalent to mid-range centerfires.
I'm not real excited about high powered rifles. As much as I'd like to use a 30-06 to deer hunt, I can't imagine every guy around here with one. Too many houses, people, and livestock.
This deal about pistol rounds only in pistols/rifles has been floating around for a year or two. I've got a .357 Herret that I'm going to use Saturday on opening day. I would be outlawed with the new legislation. I'd trade that for a chance to use my .45 LC rifle.
November 14, 2006, 11:04 PM
Shotgun slugs don't go nearly as far as rifle bullets. They start out at a much lower velocity and have terrible ballistic coeficients.
In Ohio, for handguns, one is limited to straight walled cartridges. These will have more of a range than shotguns but still the velocity in general is lower than that of many rifles and the ballistic coeficients are low by rifle standards.
In my opinion, there is a big difference in a few people hunting varmints and nuisance deer with rifles and in loosing a whole horde of hunters on a flat state (like IN and OH) with rifles on the opening day of deer season. There would no doubt be rifle bullets landing in populated areas which would do nothing for the popularity of hunting. The deer harvest would also probably rise considerably which might be bad from a conservation standpoint.
November 15, 2006, 06:55 AM
Shotgun slugs don't go nearly as far as rifle bullets. They start out at a much lower velocity and have terrible ballistic coeficients.
I just got some 12 gauge 300 grain Hornadys. 2,000 fps. Sighted at 150 yards they drop 6" at 200.
Due to frontal area they'll drop off faster at 200+, but they still approach mid range rifle loads within the first 200 yards. Something like a .308 may skip for over a mile if it hit a rock, water, etc. If somebody took a shot over the crest of a hill, it would go several miles.
If you are on public land in Michigan opening day, you'll understand why you don't want every guy in the woods having a centerfire rifle. I'm not all that concerned about an occasional varmint hunter, particularly with rounds that fragment. It's Bubba with the semi-auto 30-06 blazing away that gets me jumpy.
November 15, 2006, 08:18 AM
Are you saying the 308 will shoot several miles or that shotgun slugs will go that far? I would take "several" to mean at least 3 miles and I doubt a shotgun slug would do that (maybe I'm wrong).
Also, I think many Bubbas would be using other than "mid-range" rifle loads. They would be using full house 300 Win. Mags.
Maybe there should be a law on the maximum power of a cartridge for deer (before you flame me, I'm only kidding).
November 15, 2006, 01:38 PM
The deer harvest would also probably rise considerably which might be bad from a conservation standpoint.
The number of bonus doe licenses in my county is up to 8(!) this year (Hendricks), plus the eastern third is in the urban archery zone, so that's 3 more, IIRC, plus the normal firearms license, archery license, and muzzlloader license; so technically I could harvest 14 deer in Hendricks county.
Problem is that you have to know a land owner and get permission. It's no wonder the bag limit is so high.
I won't be hunting in my own county this year. That tops all.
November 15, 2006, 03:43 PM
I read an article in a recent issue of Deer & Deer Hunter that takes the shotgun vs rifle is safer thing to task. in looking at neighboring counties in states that have both rifle and shotgun deer hunting, the counties allowing hunting with centerfire rifles often have less non intentional shootings and fatalities than in the shotgun only counties.
The shorter range of a shotgun limiting non intentional shootings vs centerfire rifles arguement sounds good, but doesn't seem to be born out in fact.
There are some shotgun (and muzzleloader) loads that are outdistancing the 30-30s, 35 rems and 45-70s that unless you are shooting spitzer ammo it may be moot.
as shotgun and muzzleloading sabot ammo has gotten hotter, the trend of accidental shootings has gone down significantly from the days when buckshot or pumpkin balls were what you put through your shotguns. And there are more hunters out in less open spaces.
Face it, the yahoos that blaze away will blaze away whether it's a 30-06 or a 12 guage. in fact, the 30-06 may require less "kentucky windage" so their is less chance off someone blindly flinging lead over the next hilltop. :rolleyes:
November 15, 2006, 04:58 PM
I suppose though, if you have a center fire rifle you are more likely to wait for an open shot (or to confirm the target/what is beyond :what: ) rather than saying, "I'd better get this one before it gets out of range!"
November 15, 2006, 06:48 PM
I have written to ODNR (ohio) about allowing rifles that chambered the shells they let us shoot in handguns (.357 and above, straight walled). In fact, the way the game laws now read some of the big handguns that take the 444 marlin and 45-70 are now allowed.
For some odd reason, one of the guns I like to shoot the most, and would love to hunt deer with is my Marlin 1894 in 44 mag.
I have an 1894C in .357 that would be great for Son #2 to hunt deer with close range
November 16, 2006, 09:28 AM
It's Bubba with the semi-auto 30-06 blazing away that gets me jumpy.
I understand that statement. But, I still hear shotgun hunters blasting away with auto-loaders and the pump action without the required plug for a three round maximum load. Like any other state their aren't enough game wardens to check on legal hunters on crowded opening day. My Marlin 1894C .357 is still waiting to come out if and when rifles are approved in Ohio. I probably have a better chance at seeing an albino deer before that will happen in such a conservative state. I just add it to the list of why "Ohio Sucks".
November 19, 2006, 08:13 AM
Indiana has some nice bucks and a good buck, doe ratio because of the rifle ban. A good in line 50 cal especially those with 150 grains is good to go for almost all white tail shots IMO. A person could take almost an unlimited number of deer in Indiana with the county by county quota's based on car wrecks, limited only by time to hunt. If you see a change to rifles it will because the insurance companies (huge lobby) wants all the deer killed off.
Be careful what you ask for.
just my 2 cents

This weekend I was out buying guns when this subject was raised. I am having problems understanding the, by my term, "terrain argument."
The argument against centerfire rifles is: "Well, the northern half of the State is mostly flat, so you need to use shotguns there [or all over Indiana]."
I point out that Way Out West in flat as an ironing board, e.g. Tejas, yet they use centerfire rifles there. Plus, what 9 out of 10 flannels hunt from tree stands where one is shooting down into the earf. In addition, if it is flat does that not call for longer shots? With a centerfire rifle cannot one place his shot with greater accuracy and thus be safer? Last time I went out it was on a flatish, rolling Christmas tree farm and I smacked a fat buck with a 140 grain 6.5x55. No danger to anyone.
It seems to me that the terrain argument against centerfire rifles undercuts itself and is made by people unfamiliar with shotguns slug ballistics or Rule #4.
Someone help me understand please.:scrutiny: :confused:
November 19, 2006, 08:33 PM
I just got back from deer hunting all day today.
I've got mixed feelings. As nice as it would be to have the '06, I still have go with what we've got IMO.
Last season opening day I had a 12 pointer standing broadside at 180 yards. Real windy. Too chancy with the muzzle loader and I let it go. What I realized later is that he was on a slight rise and it was uphill (slightly) to where he was standing. If I'd had the '06 and cracked off a shot there is a house about 1/2 mile away directly in line.
It isn't the idea of any significant difference at 150 yards or less. It's the ability to carry to 1/2 mile or more that bothers me.
My post above about shotgun slugs proves that they can be quite potent to 200 yards. BC and frontal area should limit overall range. Same with BP. When you get into the high power rifles, it's ramps up to a different level IMO.

Indiana hunters: Indiana Department of Natural Resources is taking public comments on proposed modifications to game regulations as to the use of (some) centerfire rifles. Contact Ms. Jennifer Kane, IDNR, at (317) 232-0156 to make your comments known. A public hearing is likely in late January or sometime in February. I plan to be there with charts and graphs!:)
I called and related:
1. DNR magic ballistics makes no sense. If I can use a centerfire rifle against coyotes or deer with a predation permit, why can I not use it in regular firearms season.
2. The "terrain argument" is a specious farce.
3. If I can use a .308 pistol, why can I not put a stock on it so I can control my weapon and be safer to fluffy bunnies and THE CHILDREN?
Apparently those against the use of pistol caliber carbines was lead by something called the Indiana Deer Hunters Association. Anyone know these folks and who we need to contact so we can explain the pro-centerfire rifle position?

red, right, should have provided the link thingy, thanks.
Who are these people? How many members are they? Why are they against the use of centerfire rifles? How did they determine their membership was against the use of centerfire rifles?:confused:
December 5, 2006, 01:14 AM
It is interesting, yet perplexing, to read about all the different ways we deer hunters have to hunt in different states.
Here in Georgia, and especially on my club, virtually EVERY hunter carries a centerfire rifle and always have. Most use .30-06, with an assortment of other good calibers (.270, 7mm Rem. Mag, .260 . . . even a .40-70). For backup rifles, I see a .30-06 Model 742, several .30-30s, a Ruger .44mag., a Savage .303, etc.
I'm the only one that primarily handgun hunts, and I use a Model 29 w/ Holosight. My rifle is a 1973 Remington 700LH in .270 . . . though just as often I'll tote my Ruger Deerfield carbine in .44mag w/ red dot sight.
The only one seen this year on the club was a day during the rut when I decided to tote my 1969 smoothbore Ithaca slug gun. It is sighted dead on at 100 yards and shoots a one-hole clover leaf at 100 yards! Devastating on the deer I've shot with it.
Frankly, the hunters in my club wouldn't think about toting a shotgun, or even a handgun cartridge (except me). Then again, in our deep Georgia woods, we don't have to worry about an errant shot traveling flat, and low to the ground and hitting something 1/2 mile away.
Each state has some crazy laws though. Mine allows all CENTERFIRE handguns . . . as long as the bullet is a hollowpoint. Can you imagine shooting a deer with a .32ACP hollowpoint? Yet, it is legal. Just as strange, the wonderful .44mag hard cast Keith-style flat nose bullet in 300 grain is NOT legal . . . though it is the most effective deer handgun bullet I've ever shot! Go figure!
Good luck up there with your proposed changes. I don't think you have much to worry about with the flatter-shootin' rifles . . . if folks ain't shooting towards houses and such! You'll learn to love what you've missed!!! Then again . . . us Georgia hunters would also fall in love with slug guns if we were "forced" to use 'em.
Hope you all have a great season!
El Tejon
December 5, 2006, 08:08 AM
Thanks, S&W.
I think we shouldn't have any problems with centerfire rifles just like you don't down there in Georgia. As far as "shooting towards houses", that applies to blackpowder bullets, shotgun slugs, centerfire rifle bullets during predation permit hunting or varmit hunting.
I think that is what I am most upset about the anti-centerfire rifle argument (as the other arguments destruct by themselves): the magic ballistics theory that a shotgun slug, muzzleloader bullet, or a centerfire rifle bullet (during varmit or predation) is a harmless fluffy powder puff.:rolleyes: If we can use centerfire rifle for lots of other game (including centerfire rifle bullets from "handguns" during regular firearms season), how would rescinding the inane ban hurt anything?:banghead:
December 5, 2006, 05:34 PM
Consider, for example, the Hornady .44 XTP. Fine in Indiana if it comes out of a handgun, or out of a muzzleloader with a sabot, but yet, not legal from a lever action carbine. That's what I hope will change.
Having said that, I've been out every weekend during gun season this year, and it's amazing how many quick three-shot strings I hear - I mean like three shots in 2 or three seconds. Can't be a lot of aimed fire going on there, and my mental picture is that someone is busting up whitetails and blasting at them on the run. I don't hunt like that, and I don't like it. Too much chance of a wounded animal. So, I'm a bit apprehensive that the boom-boom-boom crowd may switch to .44 auto carbines. We'll see.
El Tejon
December 5, 2006, 09:28 PM
And they cannot "boom boom boom" with a slide action or self-loading shotgun?:confused:
December 6, 2006, 07:27 PM
El T:
My last post was not very clear. It is exactly the pump and auto SGs that I've been hearing. I mostly hunt in Harrison Crawford State Forest and a little in the Hoosier National Forest. Firearms season sounds like a war. I even heard some shooting that sounded like full auto last weekend. Two round bursts. Bam-bam. Bam-bam. Bam-bam.
Anyway, I generally support the pistol-caliber rifle idea. My only reservation is that now we'll likely have guys out there popping off even more unaimed fire. I've taken a couple of deer that were hit in the butt, usually with an exit wound in the hip, and usually with a broken hip joint or thigh bone. Not a pleasant situation. I just don't want to see an increase in that type of hunting.
I truely enjoy the muzzleloader season much more than gun season. The firearm restriction and the colder weather really cut down on the number of hunters, and I don't see nearly as many people kicking thru the brushy areas trying to bust up whitetails.
December 6, 2006, 07:31 PM
Nope, don't know nothin', but I say rumor is good nuf for ya to go pick out a nice Marlin 94 in .44 mag.
Didnt they make a lever in .50ae also?
El Tejon
December 7, 2006, 10:10 AM
red, if it is behavior that you seek to modify then you have to change the culture.
To combat "recon by fire" methodology of the Banjos, why not lobby the organizations such as the NRA or Indiana Deer Hunters Association to put on clinics to teach hunting tactics and sportsmanship? To me it seems that education is more productive that attempting to control a fungible technology.
December 7, 2006, 04:46 PM
Good point, and well taken. Seems like that would/could also be addressed in hunter safety classes. I'm old enough to have never taken one.
December 11, 2006, 12:17 PM
Apparently those against the use of pistol caliber carbines was lead by something called the Indiana Deer Hunters Association. Anyone know these folks and who we need to contact so we can explain the pro-centerfire rifle position?
I've posted a few items on their forum at www.hoosierhunting.com and it's pretty unbelievable what the rational is behind many of their arguments. I'm not sure what a real 'member' is, but I sure couldn't figure it out.
My guess is that the pres. of the assoc. decides what the group thinks since there is virtually no general concensus on any issue and very little in the way of factual argument.
No wonder I 'could' shoot squirrel with my .270 but I can't use a .44 Mag levergun to hunt deer.
December 11, 2006, 12:27 PM
Didnt they make a lever in .50ae also?
I belive that the .500 S&W Mag case specifications meet the currently proposed cartridge spec for the caliber and case size of 1.625" with a bullet of .357" or larger.
Thus far, nothing specific as to whether or not firearm type (Carbine, Lever, Bolt, Single Shot, etc..) will be a limiting factor, but the specification allows that big dude so I can see a rifle in that caliber hitting the shelves.
Simple Man
December 22, 2006, 12:33 PM
The funny thing is that Indiana has allowed hunting with high powered rifle cartridges out of pistols for the last few years. We can hunting with a 30-06 or any other HPR cartridge as long as it's out off of a pistol platform. But now that we would like to hunt with pistol cartridges off of a rifle platform it's a no no. So let me some this up, less trajectory and more stability than the HPR pistols but the IDHA says no way.
El Tejon
December 22, 2006, 03:25 PM
Simple, that is my understanding of their position of IDHA.
Centerfire rifles for coyotes but not deer. (Now write this down) We have to stick to pistols in .308, or just use centerfire rifle in predation deer hunting.
Do chime in if any of this DNR nonsense makes any sense.:rolleyes: :D

Excellent first step. Now let's legalize centerfire rifle and end IDNR's magical ballistics theory.:D

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. - Former NFL quarterback John Elway's Alaskan malamute has gotten him in trouble - again.
Elway, who's been cited at least six times for the family dog's escapades, appeared in court Thursday and was fined $200 because the dog, Kimo, got loose in Elway's neighborhood while Elway was being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August.
Elway told the judge he was dog-sitting the 150-pound pet, who normally lives with his former wife, Janet.
He also said he would never dog-sit again, said Michelle Edwardson, a Cherry Hills animal control officer.
"I'm a football fan, and I'm an Elway fan, but I honestly believe in pet responsibility and everybody should be treated the same," Edwardson said.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Denmark's Queen Margrethe will design the costumes and scenery for an upcoming play based on the fairy tale "Thumbelina," written by Hans Christian Andersen.
The popular 64-year-old monarch has done this kind of work before. In 2001, she designed the outfits and scenery for a play inspired by three of Andersen's fairy tales.
"It is a great honor and privilege to be able to work with another show," she said.
Margrethe said she has not yet completed the sketches for "Thumbelina," but said she has "more ideas for different characters than there is room for on the stage."
The play will be performed in Copenhagen's Tivoli gardens next year.
Margrethe has also illustrated many books, including a 1977 Danish edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of The Rings." In 2003, she did decoupages to illustrate a new edition of Danish writer Karen Blixen's "Seven Gothic Tales."
WATERVILLE, Maine - Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Studs Terkel was honored Sunday for his lifetime of achievements in writing and broadcasting.
Terkel, 92, is the recipient of the Elijah Parish Lovejoy award, given annually to outstanding journalists by Colby College. The award is named after a Colby graduate who was murdered in 1837 while defending the press against a pro-slavery mob in Illinois.
Terkel, who is recuperating from a fall, was not able to attend Sunday's presentation, but Chicago author Alex Kotlowitz accepted on his behalf.
Terkel worked in radio and was a columnist for the Chicago Sunday Times, but he is probably best known as an oral historian.
His books include "Working," in which Americans talk about their jobs; "Race: How Blacks and Whites Think and Feel About the American Obsession;" and "Coming of Age," recollections of men and women 70 and older.
In March, Terkel received the National Book Critics Circle lifetime achievement prize.
SHANGHAI, China - Famed for their high-minded dramas set in exotic locales, the producing-directing team of Ismail Merchant and James Ivory are taking on Shanghai for their 47th movie.
Set in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of the 1930s, "The White Countess" portrays the relationship between a blind, disillusioned former American diplomat played by Ralph Fiennes and an exiled Russian noblewoman portrayed by Natasha Richardson.
"It's not strictly a realistic film. It's more an impression of the city," director Ivory said Friday.
Shooting began two weeks ago using Shanghai's row houses, art deco hotels and hulking stone banks on the banks of the Huangpu River as a backdrop. The film is scheduled to be released late next year.
The movie marks a return to the pair's trademark period dramas after a detour into modern farce with last year's "Le Divorce."

Due to his weakness at range fighting, an Akira player should always be rushing in to the opponent to take advantage of Akira's powerful close range moves. In order to do this, aside from normal dashing, Akira has a good range of versatile attacks that will close in the distance such as 66P+K or 3K. Once you are up close, Akira can apply the nitaku game between his many throws, and either 66P or 666P. Both of these attacks are fairly safe on block, and trades off between recovery and damage potential. Against opponents who likes to evade, you can try to do a delayed 2_6PP, 46P, or even Akira's catch throw 64P+G, all of which have good damage potential. Being able to effectively apply the nitaku game and execute his rather difficult move set with accuracy is the hallmark of a good Akira player.
Key Strike Attacks
66PThis is Akira's signature attack. It's safe on block, gives advantage even on normal hit. Use this move often when you have even the slightest of advantage. This move is as fast as most character's elbow attacks, so you can use it in the same way.
666PThis move is just as fast as 66P, but due to the complex command for this attack, some practice might be needed before you can execute this move at its true speed. If this attack counter hits, it will float the opponent for a combo opportunity. This move substitutes recovery for damage potential, but it is still relatively safe even when it's blocked.
2_6P (on hit or guard) PThis move can be difficult to execute, but try your best to master this attack as it is one of Akira's best moves. The second part can be executed whenever the first hit makes contact, and they will combo naturally and knock down even on normal hit. Try using a slow crouch dash to naturally delay this move to beat the opponent's ETEG attempts.
2_46PThis attack is commonly referred to by its Japanese name of "byakko." It is one of the fastest mid attacks in the game, with a very long range. The only downside is the complex command required to execute this move on command. If you can master the execution of this attack, it's a very versatile move to use under many different situations. Just be aware that it's punishable when blocked.
3KThis long range mid kick attack is very easy to execute, making it a choice move to use when you want to close in the range. This move will stagger a crouching opponent, providing a good chance for further attacks.
P+KThis is one of Akira's new moves for VF5. Due to the animation of the attack, P+K can duck under high attacks while at disadvantage. There are three different follow ups for this attack. The one to note is the P+K follow up which gives advantage even on block and knocks down on any hit for combo opportunity. It is a high level attack so be careful not to let it be crouched. You can try to mix this up with the mid level option 6P to discourage people from crouching.
P+K+G (on hit) 43P+G (on hit) 6 or 4PThis move is commonly referred to as 'SPOD'. The follow up for this hit throw is very difficult to do, but if you can do this in a match situation, the payoff is immense. This attack hits mid, and you can do the follow up on any hit. Its only downside is that it's linear. Use it against opponents who favor crouching as a way of defense.
Key Defensive Attacks
214P+KThis move will sabaki elbow class attacks. Against opponents who like to pressure with elbows, you can try using this even in small disadvantaged situations to deflect the opponent's elbow. On a successful sabaki or counter hit, this move will stomach crumple the opponent and allows you to connect various combos.
4P+K+GThis sabaki will deflect any high punch or kick attacks, and even low punches. When you successfully sabaki the opponent, you can do the 6P follow up for a knock down, where you can connect various combos.
Circular Attacks
66P+K PThis move will crouch under high attacks during its initial animation, but the most important feature of this attack is its half circular property. Use this to close in distance or to pressure tech rolling opponents.
46P+KThis move is half circular in the opposite direction of 66P+K. Mix these two moves up to discourage any ETEG or evade attempts by the opponent. This move will knock down on any hit, and it's another good move used for pressuring tech rolling opponents.
3P+GThis throw is easy to execute, and does a good amount of damage. You can connect a small down attack after this throw as well.
46P+GThis throw will launch the opponent high up into the air, allowing Akira to connect with various damaging combos. Learn the various possible combos either for damage or ring out.
64P+GThis catch throw is useful against opponent's who fuzzy guard or employ ETEG. There are various follow up options, making it a very versatile move to force different guessing games against the opponent.\

Nathaniel Stern on Interactive Art
There is something quite fitting about having Nathaniel Stern talk about what he does on Albert Einstein's birthday and Pi Day, a day to celebrate math. Stern is a wonderfully wonky ace if there ever was one. He thinks and talks fast, especially on subjects he loves, like interactive art.
This evening, he'll be presenting some of the core ideas he's been exploring for a while, part of his research for a coming book "Interactive Art and Embodiment: The Implicit Body as Performance," part of the Arts Future Book series due out from Gylphi Limited later this year. In this informal talk, Stern will argue that interactive art, at its best, creates meaning through environments of physical, bodily engagement, or what he calls "conceptual-material formations." »Read Full Blog Post
Wisconsin State Fair attendance tops a million, most since 1969
Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.
The 11-day event attracted 1,012,552 attendees, and even weekdays saw as many as 122,000 guests. Total attendance was 10% higher than last year and the largest reported since 1969 — though the fair only started scanning tickets in 2002, which gives the most accurate numbers. »Read Full Article(14)

APT's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' turns 'Hamlet' inside out

Or, if you'd prefer, imagine a typical week in your own harried existence, in which you're constantly being made aware of how utterly random life can be — and how little control you really have.
It's all the same to Tom Stoppard, whose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" fuses the Bard and Beckett in a comic and also moving commentary on modern life. Under James Bohnen's direction, we're being treated to the comedy and the pathos in a stellar production at American Players Theatre, with actors in the same roles they've assumed in APT's "Hamlet." »Read Full Article(3)

Guardian Custom Siding & Gutters - Colonial Heights, VA - Phone: (804) 526-3233
Gutters, in Colonial Heights, are the narrow channels, or troughs, forming the component of a roof system aiding in collection and diversion of rainwater shed by the roof. The main purpose of the rain gutters is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base, reducing erosion, preventing leaks in basements and crawlspaces, protecting painted surfaces by reducing exposure to water, and providing a means to collect rainwater for later use.
Gutters in Colonial Heights are generally made of a variety of materials, including cast iron, lead, zinc, galvanised steel, painted steel, copper, painted aluminium, PVC & other plastics, concrete, stone, and wood.
Downspouts in Colonial Heights are, on the other hand, vertical pipes designed to carry the rainwater from a gutter to ground level in a sewer or rainwater harvesting tanks or into the ground through seepage.
