Our hollow prosperity

Now that the U.S. trade deficit for 2005 has come in at $726 billion, the fourth straight all-time record, a question arises.
What constitutes failure for a free-trade policy? Or is there no such thing? Is free trade simply right no matter the results?
Last year, the United States ran a $202 billion trade deficit with China, the largest ever between two nations. We ran all-time record trade deficits with OPEC, the European Union, Japan, Canada and Latin America. The $50 billion deficit with Mexico was the largest since NAFTA passed and also the largest in history.
When NAFTA was up for a vote in 1993, the Clintonites and their GOP fellow-travelers said it would grow our trade surplus, raise Mexico's standard of living and reduce illegal immigration.
None of this happened. Indeed, the opposite occurred. Mexico's standard of living is lower than it was in 1993, the U.S. trade surplus has vanished, and America is being invaded. Mexico is now the primary source of narcotics entering the United States.
Again, when can we say a free-trade policy has failed?
The Bushites point proudly to 4.6 million jobs created since May 2003, a 4.7 percent unemployment rate and low inflation.
Unfortunately, conservative columnist Paul Craig Roberts and analysts Charles McMillion and Ed Rubenstein have taken a close look at the figures and discovered that the foundation of the Bush prosperity rests on rotten timber.
The entire job increase since 2001 has been in the service sector credit intermediation, health care, social assistance, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, etc. and state and local government.
But, from January 2001 to January 2006, the United States lost 2.9 million manufacturing jobs, 17 percent of all we had. Over the past five years, we have suffered a net loss in goods-producing jobs.
"The decline in some manufacturing sectors has more in common with a country undergoing saturation bombing than with a super-economy that is 'the envy of the world,'" writes Roberts.
Communications equipment lost 43 percent of its workforce. Semiconductors and electronic components lost 37 percent ... The workforce in computers and electronic products declined 30 percent. Electrical equipment and appliances lost 25 percent of its workforce.
How did this happen? Imports. The U.S. trade deficit in advanced technology jobs in 2005 hit an all-time high.
As for the "knowledge industry" jobs that were going to replace blue-collar jobs, it's not happening. The information sector lost 17 percent of all its jobs over the last five years.
In the same half-decade, the U.S. economy created only 70,000 net new jobs in architecture and engineering, while hundreds of thousands of American engineers remain unemployed.
If we go back to when Clinton left office, one finds that, in five years, the United States has created a net of only 1,054,000 private-sector jobs, while government added 1.1 million. But as many new private sector jobs are not full-time, McMillion reports, "the country ended 2005 with fewer private sector hours worked than it had in January 2001."
This is an economic triumph?
Had the United States not created the 1.4 million new jobs it did in health care since January 2001, we would have nearly half a million fewer private-sector jobs than when Bush first took the oath.
Ed Rubenstein of ESR Research Economic Consultants looks at the wage and employment figures and discovers why, though the Bushites were touting historic progress, 55 percent of the American people in a January poll rated the Bush economy only "fair" or "poor."
Not only was 2005's growth of 2 million jobs a gain of only 1.5 percent, anemic compared to the average 3.5 percent at this stage of other recoveries, the big jobs gains are going to immigrants.
Non-Hispanic whites, over 70 percent of the labor force, saw only a 1 percent employment increase in 2005. Hispanics, half of whom are foreign born, saw a 4.7 percent increase. As Hispanics will work for less in hospitals and hospices, and as waiters and waitresses, they are getting the new jobs.
But are not wages rising? Nope. When inflation is factored in, the Economic Policy Institute reports, "real wages fell by 0.5 percent over the last 12 months after falling 0.7 percent the previous 12 months."
If one looks at labor force participation what share of the 227 million potential workers in America have jobs it has fallen since 2002 for whites, blacks and Hispanics alike. Non-Hispanic whites are down to 63.4 percent, but black Americans have fallen to 57.7 percent.
What is going on? Hispanic immigrants are crowding out black Americans in the unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled job market. And millions of our better jobs are being lost to imports and outsourcing.
The affluent free-traders, whose wealth resides in stocks in global companies, are enriching themselves at the expense of their fellow citizens and sacrificing the American worker on the altar of the Global Economy.
None dare call it economic treason.
Maybe the Democrats should hire Buchanan. He sounds alot like Clinton did in 1992 when he blathered on about how this country was suffering through the worse economy in 50 years.
Yup, my portfolio is up 35%, my home value has doubled and my property value in Florida has increased 500%..thinks are looking pretty bad.
"What's the point. Until Hillary's in the White House, people here just won't care."
You're dead-on with this one. Enjoy your umbrella-drinks, boys. There will be a change in '08. The only question is whether it will come from within the GOP. If conservatives don't take the lead on this issue, Hillary will.
"None dare call it economic treason."
I do... Unless your main source of income is playing the markets (in which case you're pretty much a parasite anyways), you're not safe from globalism, either. Every wage earner in this country is under attack. Not to mention that it is a VERY bad idea to be giving the Chinese the means to global domination.
You are exactly right.
Pat is an idiot. when software is shipped out the country it is billed - often for tax purposes - at the cost of the media not the product. So a $100 export might be for 5 million. We export a chip plant to Isreal, does every bit of the intellectual captial get added to the install - NO!!
It's funny how SOCIALIST-LIKE these threads become...
more government control....
to quote Sen. Byrd: "Too much consumin' goin' on out there"....
It's great.
At least Pat got off of his Hate Israel kick. Not that his followers will see it that way, but then again, it isn't as if Pat will EVER win ANYTHING.....
Just a point, I've seen Buchanan trashed a lot on this thread, but haven't seen any significant refutations of his points. I'm no economist, so I don't know, but without reference to who wrote the column, are there flaws? What are they?
Oh, as a side note, and I've never gotten this one straight in my head. The constitution requires all treaties to be validated by a 2/3rds vote of Congress. Did Congress side-step this by calling it an agreement instead of a treaty? Or was it passed by a 2/3rds vote. If it wasn't, shouldn't NAFTA be challenged in Federal court? Calling a treaty an agreement doesn't change the nature of what it is, and I think that there is substantive legal support that changing the name of something without changing it's underlying nature does not change legal ramifications(Example, calling a chain letter an "investment opportunity" doesn't mean it's not a chain letter).
And if you noticed...they are very, very good at not buying our stuff. They now have $800 billion in currency reserves stockpiled...almost all dollars.
Pat agrees with Bush.
Bush SOTU "I will ask Congress for $350 million to support Palestinian political, economic, and security reforms. The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace, is within reach -- and America will help them achieve that goal. (Applause.)"
Even Pat is in it. shesh
And the average earnings for even "unskilled" tradesmen willing to go to work in Fort Mac, Alberta right now is $80,000 US a year.
Blame NAFTA.
Yet these same people complain about the Government being to big.
I guess you missed pat's recent screed where he was whining about the poor "innocent woman and children" we killed in Pakistan.
Seems like Pat's detractors are a strange lot. They encompass being supporters of a virulently anti-American regime (Mexico), support an Iranian spy as a model Arabian democrat, view the deindustrialization of America as a sign of progress (the same as the enviro left), think Armageddon is around the corner, and the kicker of it all is that they have done a 180 degree turnaround on what constitutes economic health for the average person in terms of debt. Maybe the "End Days" conservatives are right and all this doesn't matter, spend away.
Pat is having an off day - he left out some things. No more blood for oil in Iraq - where are those BLTs??? 9/11 was our fault for being imperialists...terrorists hate us for what we do, not what we are. Those evil Mohammad cartoons insulted the great prophet - the damn secular hedonists with their freedom of speech, while the poor neo-nazis in Germany are persecuted. Diesel engines.
There, fixed it.
You hit it squarely on the head.
As Mises pointed out, one government intervention in the economy always brings some unintended results, leaving planners with the choice of making further interventions or repealing prior ones.
They invariably choose further interventions.
The march toward tyranny continues.
The basic premise of your post is totally flawed. These "foreign entities" are the ones bidding on this U.S. infrastructure because U.S. companies recognize them as a terrible investment. Anyone who buys a U.S. highway these days with the expectation that it can be run as a profitable business is out of his mind.
Bush SOTU "I will ask Congress for $350 million to support Palestinian political, economic, and security reforms. The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace, is within reach -- and America will help them achieve that goal. (Applause.)"
pat fails to mention the bad guys who were the target and who we took out.
Do you think that economy can be based on rising real estate values?
National security and patent protection are separate and important issues.
They now have $800 billion in currency reserves stockpiled...almost all dollars.
If they don't buy anything with it, all they will own is green pieces of paper. They'll spend the money eventually, and it will return to us.
Pat agrees with Bush.
Bush SOTU "I will ask Congress for $350 million to support Palestinian political, economic, and security reforms. The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace, is within reach -- and America will help them achieve that goal. (Applause.)"
pat agrees with Hamas...
Time to make some popcorn. This should be fun. NAFTA supporters, where are you ?
Texas has more tax revenues then ever. The fact that they have chosen to finance their unneccessary highway through Cintra rather than through taxes is irrelevent. Texas could raise taxes to pay for the highway if it wanted to.
Pat agrees with Bush.
Bush SOTU "I will ask Congress for $350 million to support Palestinian political, economic, and security reforms. The goal of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace, is within reach -- and America will help them achieve that goal. (Applause.)"
Shhhhh. Don't tell yourself. The Red Chinese are now hoardimg $800 billion of currency...and they aren't buying our stuff. 5-to-1 trade imbalance. They buy only our production technology when they can't otherwise steal it or get it elsewhere...or they buy raw materials from us (as if we were a third world pesthole). Then they turn around and increase their export product to us.
Nor is the money, in any significant degree, flowing back via intermediaries. Go figure, LOL!
Can you prove it? Just because two "economists" and a couple of wing-nut columnists write it doesn't mean it's the truth either.
I'm sure you remember that old adage regarding statistics.
LOL! Yes, the do lack variety, and originality, not to mention persuasiveness!
All the way to post 13 to get one that isn't a jibe at Pat or his stands on the WOT. Good for you for getting to the issue.
"Having plunged us into an unnecessary war, Bush now confronts the real possibility of strategic defeat and a failed presidency. His victory in Iraq, like the wars of Wilson and FDR, has turned to ashes in our mouths. And like Truman's war in Korea and Kennedy's war in Vietnam, Bush's war has left America divided and her people regretting he ever led us in. But unlike the world wars, Korea and Vietnam, Bush cannot claim the enemy attacked us and we had no choice. Iraq is Bush's war. Isolationists had nothing to do with it. To a man and woman, they opposed it."
"Now, with an army bogged down in Afghanistan and another slowly exiting Iraq, and no end in sight to either, Bush seeks to counter critics who warned him not to go in by associating them with the demonized and supposedly discredited patriots of the America First movement of 1940-41."
A complete mischaracterization: Pat wrote that the Pakis didn't like us because we had killed women and children there.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the topic of this Buchanan column, which you seem incapable of understanding or discussing rationally.
Actually pat made a long and lengthy article about how we had killed innocent women and children and never once mentioned that the bad guys had been the target...and that we had taken out the target.
All pursuant the Chinese Communist government intervention.
Whistling in the dark....
They are spending the money. On factories, machines, infrastructure, oil, other commodities and new buildings. Most of which are NOT in the USA.
How are we all going to be rich if we don't have high paying jobs? What high paying jobs will we have if everything of value is made elsewhere.
All the people saying "Pat is an idiot" are dodging the question completely. OK, we heard you!!! You don't like Pat! Great. He's not my top choice for a golf partner.
But I don't see real answers to the questions he poses. NAFTA was not passed with Al Gore aruguing "by passing this the Mexican economy will collapse, the south western USA will be overrun by illegals, and millions of high paying jobs will leave America never to return".
Did he? NO!
To think I once supported this jerk!!. Reminds one of Barry Goldwater who went liberal toward the end.
Also, the they're taking the deficit dollars and investing them here argument doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, except in the case of say, Toyota, that is building automobile plants here now, and then exporting the cars out of the US. If we've got a trade deficit with China, and they're using those funds to buy stock in say, Exxon, aren't we really just selling a tangible assest for a consumable (kind of like trading our car for a trip to Disneyworld)? (just an example, not to be confused with actual stock purchases).
You should check out everything he's written in the last two months over at the World Net Daily website: they all have one common theme...they are anti-Bush. Or course we're expected to believe this article is accurate and doesn't push his personal agenda.
P.S. The topic of Pat's column is trade.
Your mincing words. The "FT" in NAFTA stands for Free Trade. Yes, it is not some internationalist-libertarian wet dream policy. No, it is not a restrictive mercantilist high-tarrif, industry protecting policy like we had for many years, which Buchanan has suggested for more than a decade we go back to.
Mincing words isn't making a point.
"Yeah, like, who cares?"
People whose understanding of economic and monetary systems peaked circa 1600.
It's leakage of an expanding economy, not net loss, people.
They need to go crack a macro-economics book written in this century.
You mean the way pat demands we keep funding Hamas?
But both require, GASP!, government action to enforce.
Can't have any of THAT apparently.

By Bethany Cox Staff Writer
As soon as she arrived on campus in Fall 2014, Ashley Saunders walked into The Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and asked, "Where's the black student union?"
The office assistant directed her to the African Students Association. She joined and made friends there, but she was still alarmed that there was no black student organization on campus.
"While we as black students may have a connection to Africa, our heritage as African and black are non synonymous," Saunders said. At that point the junior decided she was going to relaunch the John Jay Black Student Union.
After an almost 10-year hiatus, the Black Student Union is once again on the college's organization roster. BSU has no budget or club room as of now, but they are already present on the John Jay campus.
After several recent instances involving racism at the University of Missouri , John Jay's BSU brought several clubs together for a demonstration Nov. 18th. They stood in solidarity with students at Mizzou in the Atrium alongside the John Jay statue. Because they didn't get the protest approved by administration , they were unable to use microphones or megaphones. Lynette Cooke-Francis, the VP of student affairs, came from her office and gave the demonstrators a megaphone.
Unlike other culture-based clubs on campus, the Black Student Union is much more general. "I'm black, but I don't fit into the specific categories that the clubs provide," says senior Deandra Williams.
It is almost impossible to create clubs for every culture because of the African diaspora. All black students whether African, Afro-Latino, Afro-Caribbean, or African American have a place with BSU.
According to the John Jay website, 21% of students at John Jay are black. It is important that they feel welcome. Its important for black students to have a team that they can come to when they feel discriminated against.
"As fierce advocates for justice, we will fight against injustice against students of color at any institution including our own," said Saunders. John Jay's BSU is also a place for people of any background to learn more about black culture or the black experience from several points of view.
"I am so proud that we finally have a BSU," said Kenneth Holmes, dean of students. "I believe that every collegiate institution should have one."
The BSU had their first general meeting Nov. 24 in collaboration with another club, Shut Up and Listen. It was an open mic where the floor was open for students to ask questions, say a poem, or rap without censorship. Danielle Officer, the director of CSIL, also shared words of wisdom:"I was a part of a similar organization in my day and I am so glad that I did. I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't."

Oscar winner Nicolas Cage is a groom again.
"Nicolas Cage got married to Alice Kim today on a ranch in Northern California," his publicist, Annett Wolf, tells PEOPLE. "It was a private ceremony."
Cage, 40, met former waitress Kim, 20, in February, when she served him in a Los Angeles restaurant. Friends say that they became engaged two months after meeting.
The wedding took place Friday.
Cage's second marriage, to Lisa Marie Presley, was officially dissolved in late May following prolonged legal proceedings. The two had married on Aug. 10, 2002, in a secret ceremony in Hawaii. He filed for divorce 107 days later, on Nov. 25, 2002.
The Leaving Las Vegas Best Actor also was previously married to actress Patricia Arquette. They separated nine months after their 1995 wedding, and eventually reconciled. In 2001 they divorced, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Cage, who will next be seen in the movie National Treasure, has one son, Weston, born in 1990 from a relationship with model Kristina Fulton.

Compared to the NBA Free Agency period in 2010, the 2011 class is simply lackluster. This free agent class is instead filled with role players like Nene and Tyson Chandler; guys who will not change an organization's fortunes all on their own, but rather who will join forces with superstars to bring a team over the brink of contention.
Here are five veterans in the 2011 class who will be the most coveted by teams needing just that extra push to get into championship conversation.
(Of course, that is if we have a season at all.)

I'm a bit confused by the manual.
I was always under the impression (but I could easily be wrong) that with a front facing latch install you MUST use the top tether.
My car does not have a top tether so I was planning on doing a seatbelt install instead.
However reading the manual it says
"Stability of installation can be improved by using top tether"
Does this mean it is not needed?
In this case would a latch or seatbelt install be safer for a 3 yr old (she is within the weight limits for latch )

Day 2 Results | MW Championships Central | Live Streaming
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Day 2 of the Mountain West Championships met the Rams with an even tougher pool than Wednesday, and CSU fell three spots to a ninth-place tie.
"It's been a tough Championship," Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. "Thus far we haven't been able to make an impact in the pool whatsoever. We just have to get rest tonight and get ready for tomorrow. We have a lot of our strongest events coming up, so we still have a good chance to move up."
Thursday's highlight was earned by one of the team's youngest members. Freshman Allison Arnold had the highest finish of the day for CSU in an individual swimming event, placing 19th in the 500 Freestyle. The Parker, Colo. native cut substantial time off her season best in the prelims only to slice another two seconds off her time (4:56.47) during the finals.
Jessica Shepard also had a strong performance in the 200 IM. The sophomore earned her season best, finishing 21st at 2:04.54.
Two divers put themselves in scoring position on the 3-Meter springboards. While none advanced to the night finals, Ariana Milone and Melissa Bollig came up big in the consolation finals.
"We struggled early on," Head diving coach Kevin Witt said. "Prelims were pretty rough, but we got a couple of the girls in the consolation finals and both Ariana and Melissa did a great job to score."
Milone and Bollig made up for the prelims in a big way. Milone added more than 20 more points to her prelim score to win the consolation finals with 291.33 points and earn ninth overall. Bollig moved up four positions from her prelim finish, coming in third in the consolation finals and 11th overall at 273.03.
The Rams continued to drop considerable time off their season bests, but are finding it hard to make it to night swims.
"It's a testament to the conference as a whole; everyone is just amazingly fast," Woodard said. "For example, Allison's time last year would have put her in the consolation finals, but this time she would have had to drop another three seconds to be top 16. All teams at all levels are just swimming very fast, and it's very difficult to get yourself in the top 16."
Friday the Rams will get to compete in some of their strongest swimming events, including the 400 Medley Relay, 400 IM, 100 Butterfly, 200 Freestyle, 100 Breaststroke and 100 Backstroke.
For every event – both prelims and finals – live streaming will be available, free of charge, through the Mountain West Network. Additional information – including heat sheets, records, highlight video and more – can be found through the Mountain West Championships Central.

More dining changes made
Changes in food service and selection have been implemented in campus dining facilities recently, but they are not appeasing La Verne students.
More healthy dining options needed
If any University of La Verne student or faculty goes to Barbara's Place or Davenport Dining Hall, they are presented with many hot food options. But if anyone was searching for a healthy option as to not gain the "freshman 15" or because they were on a diet, they would be out of luck.
Dining changes to address larger student body
With the beginning of a new year, dining services at the University of La Verne have adopted some changes as far as menu items, operating hours and methods of payment accepted at Davenport Dining Hall and Barbara's Place.

Nationalism as pathology
George Orwell wrote that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth can be a revolutionary act. Similarly, in an age of lies-passed-off-as-truth (the propaganda model), truth-passed-off-as-lies (satire) has a power all its own.

Sit tight, looming storm may be just a 'Bó Bubble'
Fear: Farmers worried about the future when milk quotas disappear
Published 06/08/2014 | 02:30
A sense of nervousness has crept into the dairy sector.
On the one hand are those who are unabashedly excited at the prospect of milk quotas finally ending in less than eight month's time. They will shake off the shackles and enjoy a long-waited-for sense of freedom to be able to produce as much milk as they want.
But in the past few weeks I have encountered a number of dairy farmers who expressed a fear of what will happen when quotas go.
I was a bit taken aback because these guys are doing what would generally be seen as doing a good job, running efficient, focussed, operations, with 70-100 cows, a few years either side of 40, making a decent living for their families.
Why I raise this now is because I wonder whether the deterioration of fortunes over the past number of months in three out of the four main enterprises in Irish agriculture - beef, tillage and sheep - will push more farmers down the dairying route and, if so, with what implications?
For many sheep and beef farmers, dairying is not an option but it could be a different story for tillage men. This year, it looks as though they are going to be victims of high yields from good crops globally and maybe some of those who were leaning towards dairying a few months ago could soon be taking firm steps in that direction.
But are we in danger of putting all our precious eggs into one basket?
Since we joined the EU, other sectors might have enjoyed some purple patches, but the two most consistently profitable farming have been beet and dairying, both regulated by quotas.
Dairying is by far the most profitable farm enterprise at present. But why is it profitable? Is it because there are quotas, which control supplies?
Its probably the industry rather than individual farmers who will be the main beneficiaries of the end of quotas. Of course, the down side is that if you didn't have access to quota you were efficiently shut out of production.
However, there are a lot of family farmers who are quite comfortable today, who have an adequate quota for the size or set-up of the farm but not the landbank or financial leverage to expand.
Land has become the new quota; and one thing that looks inevitable is that the dairy men will be the front runner in the land letting markets next spring. They are always strong but the beef and tillage sectors are certainly not at present
The country is awash with stories of a significant number of large-scale dairy operations being set up from scratch; and the banks seem to be interested in financing the bigger units. What took some people 20-30 years to build up, others are now trying to do within a shorter number of months.
Some are individuals, others groups and there seems to be a perception that you have to go in on a scale that was heretofore unknown in this country.
There are various figures floating about the level of jump that existing producers would have to take to increase their income. One is that an increase from 100 to 150 cows would make no difference.
Everyone's sums are different but the reality is that many dairy people may be better off to stay as they are for now, to sit tight and not panic; just try to keep doing what they do a little better and hope for the best, that they will be able to ride out the storm looming on the horizon. It may turn out to be a "Bó Bubble".
My intention is not to put people off dairying or indeed expansion, rather that they would feel that they are being pushed down a particular road because they feel they have no other choice if they want to survive.
But the more people who go dairying and the greater the scale, the more milk that will be produced, the stronger the processors hand will become.
The key to all this is, as always, price.
The model that Ireland usually looks to in terms of dairying is New Zealand and a recent paper by a Lincoln University academic Dr Nic Lees suggests the country may be on the edge of a new golden era in agriculture.
"The rapid urbanisation and economic growth in Asia has seen unprecedented growth in a middle class that is driving demand for our meat and dairy products," he said.
However, he is also fearful about the future. One issue is the danger of becoming dependent on China in the same way New Zealand was dependent on Britain for most of the 20th century.
But perhaps even more relevant for an individual farmer's point of view is what says about what the "severe" level of indebtedness in the dairy sector. "The New Zealand dairy sector is carrying 65pc of total agricultural debt of more than $50bn and one third of dairy farms are carrying two-thirds of this debt."
Dr Lees goes on to point out that these highly indebted farmers have less than 50pc equity and some have as low as 10pc. They are thus highly vulnerable to any increase in interest rates.
He goes on to pose the question about where New Zealand's long-term competitive advantage lies. He points out that productivity has been pushed up through higher stocking rates, improved genetics, fertiliser use etc. But the potential to maintain these gains has become limited, especially because of mounting public concern about the impact on the environment from intensive farming practices.
Another sobering note recently emitted from New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra, which has cut its price forecast for 2014/15 by 14pc. Meanwhile, good grass growth these past months here at home has resulted in a surge in milk supplies and there are already signs of a significant superlevy next spring. As for China, which is top of just about every country's marketing list, there was an item on RTE Radio 1's World Report about the burgeoning demand for dairy products, especially those imported. But it also pointed out how the state has, because of food security fears, established a €5bn fund for domestic processors to buy overseas dairies and farms.

'Tomorrow People' now on CW
It's "T time" for the CW Network with the launch of "The Tomorrow People."
The series is the latest American version of a popular British TV program. It looks at the next step in human evolution where a handful of people -- mostly those who are young and good looking -- have the powers of telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation. They're a triple threat if they have all three.
There wouldn't be much "D" -- as in drama -- if all they did was walk around using their minds to bend spoons or take cheap vacations. But those with special powers are being hunted by Ultra, a secret organization looking to enlist them.
"The Tomorrow People" stars Robbie Amell ("Revenge"), Luke Mitchell ("H20: Just Add Water"), Peyton List ("Mad Men"), Aaron Yoo ("Disturbia"), Mark Pellegrino ("Lost") and Madeleine Mantock ("All You Need is Kill").
It wouldn't be a CW show if the main objective of Ultra's attention -- Stephen -- was old and gray. As with so many of the network's dramas, Stephen is a high school student who juggles homework, teen angst and all those special powers.
Executive producer Phil Klemmer calls this a coming-of-age story.
"By the time you get to college, for me, you're kind of formed. I think the most fraught period in any of our lives is high school," Klemmer said.
And just like "Nikita," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Vampire Diaries," "The Tomorrow People" features strong female characters, including Peyton List as Cara, one of the leaders of the superpowers gang being chased by Ultra.
Although her recent work was on "Mad Men," List has experience in the sci-fi and fantasy TV genre with "Smallville" and "FlashForward."
"I love the genre," List said. "It makes you feel really empowered when you have these superpowers and you're doing these special effects and these stunts and these fights. It's exciting to go to work when you have all that in front of you.
"These characters are like real people and dealing with kind of extreme circumstances, but they're trying their best to handle and make the right decisions in what they're facing, so I'm enjoying that part of it as well."

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are often defined as health care (HA) or community-associated (CA) using common classification schemes involving health care risk factor, infection type, susceptibility pattern, or molecular typing. This investigation compared pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) molecular typing results (dichotomized as HA or CA) with our new MRSA infection classification method. The goal was to develop an improved predictive model for PFGE-type based primarily on the other 3 classification variables.
Methods: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections reported to the Michigan Department of Community Health from October 2004 to December 2005 were analyzed. Patients' demographics, risk factors, infection information, and susceptibility results were collected for 2151 cases. A subset of 244 MRSA infections with available PFGE results was analyzed. Results of logistic regression are presented using a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
Results: The multivariable models predicted the PFGE classification as HA or CA (Max-rescaled R2 = 61%) better than health care risk factor, infection type, or susceptibility pattern alone (max-rescaled R2 = 21%, 34%, and 46%, respectively). The best model included infection type, susceptibility pattern, age, and hospitalized during infection.
Conclusions: This model provides a simpler, more accurate prediction of HA or CA status, thus enhancing efforts to control MRSA infections.

Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Ageby Kevin Boyle
An electrifying story of the sensational murder trial that divided a city and ignited the civil rights struggle

 In 1925, Detroit was a smoky swirl of jazz and speakeasies, assembly lines and fistfights. The advent of automobiles had brought workers from around the globe to compete for manufacturing jobs, and tensions often flared with the KKK in ascendance and violence rising. Ossian Sweet, a proud Negro doctor-grandson of a slave-had made the long climb from the ghetto to a home of his own in a previously all-white neighborhood. Yet just after his arrival, a mob gathered outside his house; suddenly, shots rang out: Sweet, or one of his defenders, had accidentally killed one of the whites threatening their lives and homes.
 And so it began-a chain of events that brought America's greatest attorney, Clarence Darrow, into the fray and transformed Sweet into a controversial symbol of equality. Historian Kevin Boyle weaves the police investigation and courtroom drama of Sweet's murder trial into an unforgettable tapestry of narrative history that documents the volatile America of the 1920s and movingly re-creates the Sweet family's journey from slavery through the Great Migration to the middle class. Ossian Sweet's story, so richly and poignantly captured here, is an epic tale of one man trapped by the battles of his era's changing times.
 Arc of Justice is the winner of the 2004 National Book Award for Nonfiction.

A Voice for Human Rightsby Kevin Boyle Mary Robinson Louise Arbour Kofi Annan
Few names are so closely connected with the cause of human rights as that of Mary Robinson. As former President of Ireland, she was ideally positioned for passionately and eloquently arguing the case for human rights around the world. Over five tumultuous years that included the tragic events of 9/11, she offered moral leadership and vision to the global human rights movement. This volume is a unique account in Robinson's own words of her campaigns as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.A Voice for Human Rights offers an edited collection of Robinson's public addresses, given between 1997 and 2002, when she served as High Commissioner. The book also provides the first in-depth account of the work of the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights. With a foreword by Kofi Annan and an afterword by Louise Arbour, the current High Commissioner for Human Rights, the book will be of interest to all concerned with international human rights, international relations, development, and politics.

Read an Excerpt
On a typical Monday, Owen MacGregor would have never set foot in Meg Ripley's restaurant. He would have done what he always did, which was drive up to the Java Hut, order a tall black coffee from dour Esther Grinnell and drive the final eighty miles home. But on this bleak October morning, when the sky looked as if it was about to unleash a wild storm on his corner of Montana, Esther's coffee shack was inexplicably shuttered and Owen needed food. Boo nuzzled his collar and Owen reached up and scratched the dog's chin.
"You hungry, too?" That was a dumb question, since the little mutt was always ready to eat. When he wasn't sleeping. Or sprawled on the couch watching television. Owen had found the skinny stray hanging around the barn weeks ago. He'd brought him inside, fed him and named him. Content with his new living arrangements, Boo now had little use for the outdoor life.
Owen hesitated at the flashing red light at the intersection of Highway 10 and Main. Two blocks to the right, at the north edge of town, was a hot breakfast with his name on it, along with bacon for the dog gazing out the window and wagging his tail. Boo was looking for McDonald's, his favorite place in the world, and expected a treat whenever he rode along in the truck. But Owen hadn't had an appetite two hours ago after his weekly trip to Hopewell Living Center, and had sped past the cluster of Great Fall's fast food restaurants next to the highway. It had taken some time for his mood to lift and his hunger to set in.
And now the thought of breakfast was strong enough to make him consider stepping into the Dirty Shame Cafe. Oh, the sign in front of the building read Willing Cafe, but folks born and bred in the area knew the place as "The Shame" and probably would always call it by its original name. He'd heard Meg had changed the name on the menus, but he also knew she couldn't fight history.
Boo whined and wagged and licked his ear, but Owen didn't smile. He rarely smiled these days . His own fault. He'd spent most of his adult life in an office, dealing with politicians and lawyers. He had a gift for dealing with difficult people, and he'd turned a law degree into one of the top environmental firms in the country.
And yet he rarely felt any degree of happiness.
Owen turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. The world wasn't going to come to an end if he walked into Meg Ripley's restaurant and ordered a couple of fried eggs.
With luck, she wouldn't be there.
With luck, she'd ignore him.
With luck, he'd be able to ignore her.
Owen didn't imagine his luck, meager as it was this morning, would hold. For one thing, he assumed Meg would be working. He also assumed she still lived in one of the original cabins adjacent to the restaurant. And ignore him? Well, that was the best he could hope for.
She was thirty-two, unfortunately young enough to remember their disastrous summer together, unlike his irate mother, who this morning had demanded he apologize for sitting on her cat even though she hadn't owned a cat in two decades, and he'd made the mistake when he was nine. His mother's memory had become increasingly faulty, her confusion more apparent this past year. He hadn't told her about his temporary move to the ranch; she assumed he was still working in DC and so far it hadn't occurred to her to question his weekly Sunday visits, though on the rare times she mentioned his work, he'd told her he'd taken some time off. She hadn't seemed to understand, which was just as well. Explaining he'd used the settlement of the ranch property as an excuse to leave an increasingly boring career would not have been easy. His mother had no love for the Triple M.
Boo whined again as Owen drove past the restaurant to find a parking spot in the lot next door. The dog believed "stop" equaled "food," and he was usually right.
Owen took a couple of minutes to stretch while Boo trotted over to a half-dead bush and lifted his leg. Then the dog hurried back to jump in the front seat, knowing he would be rewarded with food after guarding the truck while his owner was inside the building doing whatever humans did before they brought food to their loyal canines.
"I'll be back," Owen promised. He was talking to his dog a lot more often lately, which was the behavior of a man who had settled into a solitary lifestyle. No, he told himself, he wasn't going to turn into his late uncle, a grizzled loner who preferred dogs to people and rarely bathed. He didn't want to end up dying alone, freezing to death next to a barn, his body discovered a week later by a UPS driver. That was not a lifestyle Owen would willingly choose. Although lately he'd begun to wonder if he'd started down the "eccentric bachelor" path without being aware of it.
Damn. Hungry and lonely was a tough way to start the day.
"Do you think she'll marry me?"
"Of course not." Meg placed a plate piled high with bacon, eggs and hash browns in front of the hopeful suitor. She had no intention of coddling Joey Peckham, who was at this moment looking depressed, despite the fact that she'd just refilled his coffee and served him breakfast. "You must be out of your mind. She's not going to go out with you, so leave her alone."
"You serious?"
"Deadly serious," she assured him.
"Aw, you're breaking my heart." He picked up his fork and, ignoring the paper napkin she'd slid next to his coffee cup, stabbed a chunk of fried egg. "And ruinin' my day, too, if you want to know."
"I'm not ruining anything. She danced with you once, at Pete's party," she reminded him. "It wasn't exactly a relationship."
"It could be. If she'd let it. If you'd talk her into giving me a chance." He spoke with his mouth full, so Meg turned away. Joey was six years younger than she was, but acted about fifteen instead of twenty-six. He needed to find himself a real, live girlfriend, the sooner the better, and stop imagining himself in love with every woman who two-stepped with him. Especially not with Lucia Swallow, who baked the restaurant's pies and was single-handedly raising three children since her husband had died in Afghanistan.
"You're hallucinating. Lucia is too old for you," she stated one more time over her shoulder, knowing as she said it that the only thing Joey wanted to hear was that she would support his romance.
Which she wouldn't. Lucia was a friend and Joey was an idiot.
"You don't know what it's like to be in love," Joey muttered.
"Maybe, maybe not. But I'm sure it's overrated."
"You have no heart," he said, looking down at his eggs again. "That's your problem."
"One of many," Meg agreed, trying not to laugh. "Really, Joe. Lucia's not the woman for you. And you're too young to be a father to those boys of hers."
He scowled down at his plate. "How come you know so much and you don't even have a boyfriend?"
"They're overrated, too." She gave in and laughed, all too familiar with comments about her private life. There were few secrets in such a small town. "And if you don't stop griping, I'll tell Lucia you have fourteen cats."
"That's my uncle. Not me."
Meg shrugged. "She'll think that kind of crazy runs in the family."
"We have dogs," Mr. Fargus interjected from his perch on the neighboring stool.
"Two poodles. Do you know my wife lets them dogs in the bed the minute she hears the back door slam shut? Every morning. None of them can wait for me to leave."
Meg could understand that. Ben Fargus, at the age of eighty-six, was a man who liked the sound of his own voice. Meg was accustomed to his opinions; they piled up like dirty dishes all morning long. She often wondered how his wife put up with him, but they'd been together for more than sixty years. By choice or habit, Meg had no idea, but poor Mrs. Fargus obviously had a lot of patience. Or was really good at pretending he didn't exist.
"Women," Joey said, shaking his head.
"They're difficult."
"So are poodles," Fargus stated. "Real smart, though."
"Huh," Joey said, letting that information sink in. "Meg, do you think Lucia would like a dog?"
What Lucia liked or didn't like wasn't any of Joey's business, so Meg pretended she didn't hear the question and poured more coffee into the halffull mugs lined up in front of the five retired men seated in their usual places at the counter. For many of her customers, breakfast at Willing's was a tradition only broken because of vacations, hospital stays or death. Despite such loyalty, Meg was always worried about making it through the winter.
"How's everyone doing? Martin, you need more half 'n' half?"
"I'm set, thanks."
It was a typical morning; the L-shaped room, as familiar to her as her own little house, was comfortably packed with the usual crowd. The mayor was holding his monthly meeting to discuss town business. The council members had pushed a couple of tables together in the back corner and from all appearances were involved in a serious discussion. Mondays were busy, but this morning had been almost hectic. There was something about the snow flurries and the gray sky that seemed to make folks want to get out and about while they still could, before a long, blizzard-filled winter began in earnest. And few seemed to be in any hurry to leave the snug warmth of the restaurant and head out into the wind.
Meg moved down the counter and dispersed coffee. The slender man on the last stool put his hand over his cup. "Thanks, Margaret, but I've had enough. Should be getting home, I guess."
"Okay." She paused in front of Mr. Ferguson, her former algebra teacher, who'd long since retired, and set his check on the counter. "How's Janet? I haven't seen her in a while."
"She's been busy getting ready for the quilt show. She's been in her sewing room for weeks." He smiled the indulgent smile of a man who loves his wife. "She says it's going to be quite a show."
"I'm looking forward to it," Meg said, knowing the annual event would give business a boost. "I bought an ad in the program. It's on Saturday, right?"
"Yes." He frowned, trying to remember. "Sunday, too, I think."
"I hope I can get over there to see it." She'd have to remember to ask one of the high school girls to fill in for her for a couple of hours after the noon rush. The quilt guild would be selling coffee and desserts during the show at the senior center, but Meg hoped a soup-and-sandwich special at the cafe would bring in a little extra business.
"What are they doing over there?" Fargus gestured toward members of the town council huddled around a large table at the far end of the room.
"Planning to raise taxes, I'll bet," George grumbled. "I'm getting damn tired of taxes."
"You could move to Florida," Martin said. Meg hid her smile. George, a creature of habit who had been born in Willing, didn't even like going to Billings.
"There's something going on," Fargus declared. "We'll hear about it soon enough. Jerry's got some idea. I can tell by the look on his face."
They all stared down at the far end of the room. Sure enough, the mayor seemed excited as one of the town elders read aloud from a sheet of paper.
"If they're raising taxes, then they're trying to figure out how to get blood from a stone," George grumbled. "I've half a mind to go over there and tell them so."
Fargus snorted. "Like that would do any good."
"Maybe I should get on the town council," Joey mused. "Women like men with power, right?"
Meg noticed John Ferguson and Martin Smith exchanging an amused look before John grabbed his cap and stood to leave.
"Thanks for breakfast, Margaret." He set six dollars by the empty coffee mug. "Guess I'll get home before the snow starts for real." He turned as the door jangled to announce another customer.
And it wasn't just any customer, either, because the sight of this one made Meg's stomach tense and her mouth go dry.
Owen MacGregor, master of all he surveyed, was a tall, imposing man. A down vest, unzipped, covered most of his wide chest, and he wore the typical Montana outfit: jeans, boots and plaid shirt. He politely stomped his feet on the worn doormat and removed his hat, but before he could move toward a seat, a white-haired man called his name. Meg watched as he greeted the Burk-harts, an elderly couple in the process of holding each other up as they made their way across the room. Owen MacGregor played the gentleman and opened the door for them, allowing another burst of cold air in. If she didn't know better, she'd think he was the best thing to ever walk into the room. Even Mr. Ferguson looked pleased as the two men talked for a minute before the teacher disappeared out into the cold.
"Well, this is a surprise," Martin declared quietly to his cronies at the counter. "Didn't think he remembered where he came from."
"With Eddie dead and gone, I don't think there's anyone to run things," George said. "Guess that forced his hand."
"Irene's in a nursing home in Great Falls now," one of the other men informed them. "I heard she gets confused easily. My daughter-in-law works there, says the boy visits her every week."
Yes, Meg thought. He was always a devoted son. She'd assumed the old witch would live forever, queen of all she surveyed. She couldn't picture the regal Mrs. MacGregor incapacitated in any way. The last time Meg had seen her was after the funeral, and the widow hadn't let Meg in the house. Still, it was sad to think of Irene MacGregor in a nursing home.
She watched Owen slide into an empty booth and shrug off his jacket. He set his gloves on the table and picked up a menu. Which meant she was supposed to scurry over there with coffee and take his order, just as if they barely knew each other?
This was true, actually. He was a stranger now, far different from the young man who'd told her he loved her and given her his grandmother's sapphire ring.
Meg still remembered the day she heard he'd left town. She'd cried in her mother's arms for hours.
"You'd better get on over there," one of the men said. "MacGregor doesn't spend much time in town, so this is a special occasion."
"You're right." She managed a cheerful smile. "And I need all the customers I can get."
Well, she could handle it. No problem. She'd give him a minute to read the menu, and then she would saunter over and pretend they were friends.

Lightweight Canted bindings
I'm looking for bindings for my 2012 Mod. I was just gonna get the 390s but I heard they weren't that light and I want a lighter binding.
So what I'm looking for is a lighter weight binding that is canted.
I'll mainly be doing freeriding and park. Nothing too soft. I haven't held the 390 in person so :dunno:. Maybe it is light, but I didn't hear anything about it being real light.
8 Attachment(s)
They're average weight. Maybe look at K2 Formulas or Companies.
Hey Thunder
Take a look at the Mob Boss binders. Lightweight unibody plastic construction with the Yes I Cant System, but still super durable. Most shops should have 'em available right now.
1. plastic unibody
3. some form of shock absorption/padding/dampening?
Hey Snowklinger
Yes we do. All of our bindings come with a variation of the SubBase Pad. It's an EVA/Rubber pad that absorbs chatter, adds compression, and dampens your ride.
So, to answer your question, your best bet is the Mob Boss.
sweet! thanks!
Burton Malavitas are very light weight construction and have autocant. Not as good as actual canting but it helps settle your knee in comfortable position. I was ok rocking them with a 23.5" stance, 5'7", 30" inseam. Normally I don't particularly care for Burton hardgoods but their bindings are bombproof and well designed. Straps are ultra kush.
Hey Thunder,
The highback and flex should still be the same but we changed up the ankle strap and toe cap for 2013. The ankle strap got borrowed from the 390, so it's thicker and super comfortable. It will also provide a bit more support and response, since it's gotten beefed up from the 2012 Mob strap.
If you aren't stoked on the flex of the Mobs, you really can't go wrong with a pair of 390's. They are definitely lighter than Targas, but not as light as Mobs, so they are right in the middle. Honestly your best bet is to find the nearest store and just pick one up and see for yourself. Everyone is going to have a different definition of what "light" means to them.
Hope that helps.
Shred on
Rome SDS
Check out the Ride Rodeos, or if you want something stiffer try the Capos. I think they're both lighter than the 390s (haven't put them on the scale next to each other, but just from handling them both).

How to Prep for Regents Exams
Nearly all public high schools in New York State require their students to pass some number of Regents Exams in order to graduate with a Regents Diploma. By examining competency in the areas of English, math, science, and social studies, Regents Exams test student readiness for post-high school education, as well as provide measures upon which to gauge school district and teacher efficacy. Regents Exams are usually administered to students after completion of coursework corresponding to the tested material; for example, the geometry exam would be given to students who have completed or who are about to complete a high school geometry course. ...

Hunting Rights May Become Constitutional Rights in Idaho
An Idaho Senate Committee has put together a proposal to create an amendment to Idaho's founding documents. The amendment would add hunting, fishing and trapping as a constitutional right, so these rights could not be threatened by some radical groups.
There is concern of undermining the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, but that is not the proposal's intent. It is designed to guarantee the traditions of many Idahoans.
The measure would have to receive support from two-thirds of the House and Senate before appearing on the ballot in November for the population to vote on. From LocalNews8.com.

and one custom handi rifle barrel

Maybe we could convince MCA Sports (http://www.mcace.com/adapters.htm) to make a Chamber Adapter?
December 28, 2008, 04:16 PM
Maybe we could convince MCA Sports to make a Chamber Adapter?
They do make an adapter, they just call it 30 mauser instead of 7.62x25tok. These two rrounds are pretty much the same in a similar manner of 5.56x45vs.223 or 7.62x51vs308
but stick one of these in a rifle at your own risk! Many times they won't come out.
December 28, 2008, 04:25 PM
Saw some guy on AK47.net that was trying to put together an AK-pattern in that caliber. I don't know if anything came of it, but it wasn't going to be mass produced in any event.
Might get Bullberry to whip you up a Contender barrel in that caliber.
Also keep in mind all that cheap, cheap 7.62 surplus is corrosive and probably not even close to match grade.
I used to think I wanted a PPS43, but found out that (for me) rifles chambered for rimless pistol calibers aren't as much fun unless they have the happy switch (i.e. full auto). That's out of my price range, so I'll stick to my TT33.
December 28, 2008, 04:38 PM
30/06 handi rilfe or .308 survivor rifle w/ a chamber adapter...interesting;)
December 28, 2008, 04:48 PM
now you guys have me thinking
we'll see what the experts have to say
December 28, 2008, 09:15 PM
id love a levergun in 762 tok
December 29, 2008, 01:13 AM
I have all the bits to make an AK in Tok, and hopefully will get it build by spring. If you look around the homebrew sections of various gun boards you can find a number of people who have made them.
I've also toyed with the idea of converting a .32-20 lever action to Tokarev...I haven't taken a close look at the internals (and I know little about lever guns in general), but if I find a good deal on a .30-20 with a ruined barrel I'll definitely buy it up to experiment with.
December 30, 2008, 08:17 AM
I just emailed the guy from MCA adapters asking him if he could make a 7.62x25 to 7.62x39 adapter. Rossi makes a nice little single shot 7.62x39...I think this might be a interesting combo! Or maybe this http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/351/products_id/89106 and and the .30 mauser to .308 adapter.
December 30, 2008, 12:25 PM
id want a repeater of some type though, bolt action may do it. lever would be cool. i wouldnt want to break open every shot.
December 30, 2008, 01:49 PM
If you go the chamber adapter route, you need to reload it every shot so its not a big deal.
December 30, 2008, 01:55 PM
i wonder if a 32-20 lever rifle could be re-chambered for the tokarev?
It seems close enough dimensionally.
December 30, 2008, 05:10 PM
i dont see why they didnt make rifles in this caliber, the ammos 10cents a round. and powerful. and loud.
id love a camp carbine type thing that takes tt33 mags
December 30, 2008, 05:26 PM
Oh, yeah! :evil:
I have CZ52, so I have the ammo and reload for it already - no sweat. I could use a Marlin CampTok (or... would it be a GulagTok? :p) and you could use the CZ52 mag and make high cap mags and even drums.. why not? Or have it setup to take a PPSh drum! Oh, man, I'm getting excited.
Yeah, the round is a hot one, and lots of fun. Let's see, a Contender barrel, a Ruger with rotary six round (?) mag, maybe even a little Bullpup configuration so you could shoot it from your truck (I know, I mean where it's LEGAL :scrutiny:).
Make sure the bores are true .308 for us handloaders. And chrome line the bore and some of the action (or do stainless) for those who shoot that nasty corrosive :barf: Commie ammo. :evil:
I dunno about the levergun - I have a 92 in .357, so no need there... but I would certainly make room for a long gun in Tok. I miss my Spanish Destroyer - and this would be a perfect replacement in bolt action.
Count me in, I want one!:evil:
December 31, 2008, 11:02 AM
I think I found the perfect combo! I went to my local gander mountain to grab some 12ga slugs and found a rossi .308 single shot for $149. Toss in a mca .30 mauser to .308 adapter for $22 and you have a sub $175 7.62x25 carbine! I dont have a caliper...can someone measure the diameter of romanian and bulgarian tok ammo?
December 31, 2008, 12:05 PM
what exactly are chamber adapters?
December 31, 2008, 12:35 PM
what exactly are chamber adapters?
December 31, 2008, 02:04 PM
so any .308 can fire 762 tok ? but it would be single shot only?
December 31, 2008, 03:01 PM
and is it the same exact bore? or will you get crappy accuracy like when firing 8mmjs through a regular 8mm?
December 31, 2008, 03:31 PM
so any .308 can fire 762 tok ? but it would be single shot only?
Yes and yes
and is it the same exact bore?
.308 and 30-06 =.308 and 7.62=.309
December 31, 2008, 03:56 PM
so its too big to go through?
December 31, 2008, 04:49 PM
so its too big to go through?
I do not believe that .001" will make that much of a difference...but I will defer to someone more knowledgeable on this subject!
December 31, 2008, 08:32 PM
as long as im not getting poor accuracy and exploding barrels:eek:
December 31, 2008, 11:32 PM
as long as im not getting poor accuracy and exploding barrels
whilst you most assuredly won't have to worry about an exploding barrel you can absolutely bank on mediocre accuracy from the third world corrosive communist ammo you cite at the beginning of this thread. I like 7.62x25 and have had several handguns so chambered but I won't bother with that garbage
January 1, 2009, 08:04 AM
mediocre accuracy
I would be happy if I could get 3" groups at 100yards with it!
January 2, 2009, 07:32 PM
So can anyone give any input about shooting a .309 fmj bullet in a .308 barrel??? I worry about the potential of it getting stuck...but it SHOULD be moving fast enough (1500-1800fps).
January 2, 2009, 08:49 PM

you'll be fine in that respect. The tolerance of variation for barrels even on new guns and ammunition is more than .001
January 2, 2009, 09:17 PM
is there a way to rechamber a repeater instead of break action singles
January 2, 2009, 09:28 PM
is there a way to rechamber a repeater instead of break action singles
yeah, install a new barrel.
7.72x25 is so much smaller than anything else a .3caliber rifle would be chambered in that the barrel could not be set back far enough to clean up the old chamber with a x25reamer.
