Posted on 01/22/2011 8:29:53 PM PST by ErnstStavroBlofeld
As a presence in several evolving conflicts around the world, Marines must remain up-to-date on the newest technology in order to defeat the enemy and complete the mission at hand.
For the sniper community, that title belongs to the Model 110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System.
"What (Marines) were finding as we got into Iraq and Afghanistan is that the bolt-action M40 sniper rifle we had was not able to rapidly engage targets in a built-up environment," said Capt. Carlos Cuevas, precision weapons team lead, program manager, Product Group 13 (infantry weapons), Marine Corps Systems Command, Headquarters Marine Corps in Quantico, Va. "What they needed was a semi-automatic system to be able to rapidly engage targets."
The Model 110 SASS is the weapon the Corps is fielding to fill this void and Marines from III Marine Expeditionary Force received the new rifle weapons system here Jan. 10. Consequently, the Okinawa-based Marines from 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III MEF were the first to train with the new weapons system, according to Cuevas.
The ever-changing combat environment, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, shaped the specific requirements for the new weapons system, he added.
For example, the required maximum effective range no longer simply meant the maximum range at which the rifle could hit a man-sized target, but the max range at which the rifle could rapidly engage those man-sized targets without limiting accuracy.
The capabilities of the M110 SASS, specifically the ability to rapidly engage targets, complement existing weapon systems currently in use by the Marine Corps and helps add functionality and flexibility to the scout sniper arsenal.

It is like a modern day M-14?
Is it .308?
If it's not it is just another example of putting lipstick on a pig.
I wouldn't mind be a poor boy in that neighborhood.
What mount you using for the M1A Marine ?
I have one with a brookfield mount and wanting to build another yet cash flow prohibits the buy of another original brookfield even if they can be found. Smith Enterprises is my plan. You have one that stays put I'd like to know the brand , model etc...
Smart guy that old Sergeant.
Sounds similar to Patton saying, let those bastards die for their Country!
Not at all. The AR-10, that this is based on, came before the M-16/AR-15. Invented first, so to speak. Downsized to the 5.56mm/.223 later on. The original .308 has been around a long time, just now coming into it's own...........
Mines an original one made by Springfield Armory, aluminum I think, with a nice heavy phosphate coating on it. I don't believe they make them any more.
I was looking at one of those titanium Sadlak jobs, but those things are really, really pricey.
There's a captive wave washer on mine that holds things nice and tight, at least for as much shooting as I do.
promag $89.97 http://image.sportsmansguide.com/dimage/90149m2_ts.JPG?cell=300,300&cvt=jpeg
Great weapon Lurk.
Ok....last "real" brookfield I found on ebay ran me 300$. I will have to search out these two you use and speak of.....
DPMS makes a really version of Reed Knights SR-25 that I want . The SR-25 is tooooooooo much duckets ! The new USMC KAC will fill the bill.
The USMC's basic tools are now all AR platforms. This new surgical tool. Their SAW replacement and basic rifle. Wow !
Thank you. I put a lot of time into it.
Cool......looks like an original issue ???
I need to grab one for my new springfield M1A as I want to keep that as my truck gun yet don't want my TRW flavor with the brookfield stolen. It is gonna be a safe dweller and see the range only from now on. Retired !
Which makes a lot of sense from a training standpoint. There are more accurate platforms out there but for military purposes this one will be more than good enough. Put this bad boy in the hands of a few Marine Scout/Snipers and they'll bring a world of doom on bad guys the world around.
Semper Fi.
DPMS LRT-SASS with a Leupold Mk4
But I've never had any real trouble with mine so I haven't had cause to replace it.
Oh agree 100%.....plus will be tough for an enemy marksman to target the "different" troop by a special weapon carried. The SAW I think is a piston version Hk 416 that will only be obvious to a sniper if the gunner uses something like a CMAG etc ...
This new sniper rig is Reed's KAC factory.
M4's I have seen are colt, bushmaster and Hk in the field of late.......
What are you using for optics? I have tossed a few cheaper scopes and I can finally (maybe) get something worth sticking with.
agree....if it works you won !
I hope yer well !!
stay safe !
Now Frantzie, don't be such a cynic. This $5,000 thoroughly-modern-wonder is almost as good as a $500 M14, and also has a built in flashlight, corkscrew, and decoder ring.
There's another advantage. The M-14s are available immediately. This one has to go through a few years of field testing and improvements, which will create jobs ... in Mexico.
I got one similar, so iron sights can be used quickly too!
Gonna snag one , try it. I have in the past helped folks I work with "make" em work but a few times we got lucky and the fit and hold was perfect. I guess everyone of the mounts is a bit different and as you did a bit of detailing will make em good and solid.
I'll get the one you have and try it first. If I'm lucky it'll work as yours did. If not, a few set screws and some locktite should make it proper for EDC !
Stay safe !!
I'm sorry but whats a brookfield?
Brookfield Precision Tool made the best M1A mounts long ago. Very good mount. Zero play and stood up to rough use. I carried one in the service. Now I have just the one on my M1A and was looking for another.
The Knight's Armament Co. (KAC) of Vero Beach, FL builds the SR-25 Precision Rifle used by police snipers. It is a scaled-up .308 Winchester caliber version of the .223 Remington AR-15.
The Navy and Marines have been using the Mk 11 Mod 0/1 to supplement the M40A5 Sniper's in 7.62 NATO. The M110 SASS (Semi-Automatic Sniping System) is a modified version of the Mk 11 with some Army peculiar bells and whistles the Mk 11 and SR-25 don't have. The M110 SASS will be supplemented by the M24A1 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) now being upgraded to .300 Winchester Magnum from 7.62 NATO.
All KAC sniper rifles employ a quick attach/detach sound suppressor and are equipped with folding iron sights for use if the optics are removed.
That's a Springfield Armory First Gen Rangefinding. They don't make 'em anymore.
You find an M14 for $500, you let me know. I'll buy all of them you have.
Point is, the M-14s are already bought and in inventory in numbers large enough to equip at least one man in every squad presently in combat. I am fairly certain they can be refurbished, and fitted with composite, bedded stocks, telescopic sights and bipods for $500 or close, each. As you know, they are an accurate weapon to begin with.
GMTA (and spend alike). Most of my changes reflect my preferences in ergonomics. Except for the Timney target trigger, and the new 50-round drum (also available for H&K G3s and FN FALs).
These types of rifles would have been considered bona fide sniper rifles 30-35 years ago. Now these types are "urban shooting gallery" rifles for designated marksmen at the platoon level for use in cities. To reach out and touch someone reliably at 1000m and beyond still requires a bolt action for now. The Army is rebuilding all their Remington 700s in .300 Winchester Magnum (please, please let there be ammo overruns). Beyond that, the money seems to be on the .338 Lapua Magnum. The Canucks seem to like the AI rifle, having set two consecutive world records for first-shot kills. The ranges were, to my best remembering, 2400 and 2600m. Them's bragging rights.
And FYI to anybody with the DPMS SASS, the trigger and hammer pins on their OEM target trigger are .001" undersize, with a diameter that does not correspond to any known SAE, metric, or other oddball drill stock or pin. But the standard pin size is a common SAE diameter, and I just used my fingers to run a reamer through the holes to bring them back to normal, and open up the world of aftermarket parts.
All the trouble they went to, and it only slowed me down for about 15 minutes.
Thanks, Lurker. I guess I'll keep looking. Any recomendations that don't cost more than a cheap used pickup in the hinterlands?
You and I differ greatly on the definition of "poor."
Lol....as do I an Reed Knight an his SR25 flavor.....
The DPMS version is a third of the cost at MSRP around here.
IMO the DPMS is just as good if not better as I have fired both many times at work an varmint hunting. Same optics an ammo ...same lot numbers in fact.
Yeah if I had the duckets to waste....KAC products ae neat yet my serious rifle for accuracy is s 98 mauser.
But agree with ya on poor....:p)
I'd dispute that figure just a bit. A McMillan Tactical stock runs nearly $500.00 alone. Kreiger barrels will set you back $400 or so. Toss in a bipod and you're at a grand right there. And we haven't even started talking about mounts for optics, let alone the optics themselves.
Then there's the tactical advantage of having a nearly identical platform to the M16. Training is vastly simplified because the controls are all in the same place and serve the same function. AND the bad guys can't pick out the obvious marksman from a distance. That's huge.
Now don't get me wrong. I love the M1A. Scroll back up the thread to see the one I built. But making a new, purpose built 7.62 platform for our guys at the tip of the spear makes a good deal of sense to me.

Reef produces thong style sandals that have become iconic across the world. Praised for their comfortable fit, they can be seen worn at beaches, by those opting for casual footwear in the city and even some athletes who desire a break from the stress on their feet.
Two Argentine brothers, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre opened up a surf shop due to their love of the waves and surfing culture. These brothers did not enjoy sitting all day indoors, and needed a shoe that could travel with them wherever they went, providing comfort yet resisting the wear and tear of an adventurous life. With this need came the idea to start up Reef. With $4,000 and a few ideas in mind, they set out to design the world's best active sandal.
While Reef's logo program allows them to include things such as shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in their product line, they keep their focus where their heart is, right in San Diego, California. Manufacturing right where the surfers come to play, Reef is able to keep their product focused, not just in quality, but in function. Who better to make your Reef Sandals, than the people who want to wear them? Surfers young and old, men and women all enjoy having a sandal that not only is fashionable, but helps keep them connected to the surf and the sand.
In the present day, there now exists a full line of clothing products in addition to the sandals, offering the same level of life-oriented clothing. The brothers are both still very active in Reef and the surfing scene, as Fernando is now the president of the International Surfing Association, working to one day include surfing in the Olympics. This truly makes Reef the brand for all surfers to sport as well as those who simply need an escape.

U.S. stocks: Early gain fades on Wall Street
NEW YORK - Stocks closed slightly lower after an early rally faded away. Health care stocks fell the most. Security software maker Symantec plunged after firing its CEO, and Nike fell after warning of softer sales.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 28.28 to close at 16,302.77. The S&P 500 index dropped 5.49 to 1,866.52. The Nasdaq fell 42.50 to 4,276.79.
Wal-Mart's online tool shows its rivals' prices
NEW YORK - Wal-Mart has rolled out an online tool that allows shoppers to compare its prices on 80,000 food and household products to those of its competitors. It began offering the feature on its website last month in seven big cities.
The move by Wal-Mart, which has a long history of undercutting competitors, could change the way people shop and how other retailers price merchandise.
Shrimp costs take toll on Red Lobster profit
ORLANDO, Fla. - A spike in shrimp costs is causing yet more trouble for Red Lobster.
The chain's parent company Darden Restaurants on Friday reported a lower quarterly profit in line with previous estimates. Sales at its struggling Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains dropped by 5.4 percent and 8.8 percent, respectively.
Another factor weighing on Red Lobster was higher shrimp costs. Executives said that costs in the quarter rose about 30 percent because of "production issues in Asia."
New mobile pay option is coming to Wendy's
NEW YORK - Wendy's is rolling out a program that lets customers pay using their smartphones, following similar plans unveiled by Burger King earlier this week.
Wendy's has been testing the option over the past year and said the majority of its roughly 5,800 U.S. locations are now ready to accept the payments.
The move reflects a push by fast-food chains to court younger customers. Burger King plans to offer a mobile payment program at U.S. restaurants in April.
E-Trade's talking baby goes bye-bye from ads
NEW YORK - The E-Trade baby will finally stop talking.

E-Trade began its "talking baby" campaign in 2008 during the Super Bowl, at a time when online investing was relatively rare. But six years later, online investing is common.

A greedy toddler's lust for shiny objects. The wish that birds could talk, that trees could share their secrets. My long walks to and from school in Pittsburgh were not a slog through urban districts but rather a journey through a magical forest, a kingdom ruled over by squirrels and cardinals, streets populated by cats and dogs and bunnies. Oaks and maples crowded in on the houses, armies of weeds took over the alleys, and blades of grass muscled their up through the cracks in the sidewalks. In those days I observed the world around me with keen attention to detail—qualities that are hard to hang onto in our busy adult lives. In my paintings I try to recapture the intensity of childhood responses to places and people, to patterns both in nature and in the manmade environment, and to the magical possibilities there.

While lacking a little of the "mainstream polish" of the IPL or the BBL, the inaugural Caribbean Premier League was a resounding success with action packed cricket and a carnival atmosphere helping to put the event firmly on the map.
Now, as the summer of 2014 finally threatens to reveal itself, this year's edition of the extravaganza is being finalised with the draft due to take place on Thursday.
Let's take a look at which of the players could fetch a large price, some who won't and also a trio of highly-rated prospects who could make a name for themselves in this year's CPL.

All Round Note Taking App - Use It Every Day!
Noteshelf totally caters to all my note taking and professional needs. It is the most unique, feature rich and versatile app i have ever come across in the entire app store. And, possibly the function that makes this app clearly stand out from the crowd of other note taking apps is its smooth handwriting and beautiful and easy user interface. And i love the Personalisation options it offers too. Starting from the custom papers and covers, multiple importing options, text entry, page orientation presets, selectable writing styles, various shelf themes and the biggies like Apple Pencil support, iOS9's app multitasking support, wrist protection, auto advance zoom mode, auto publish into Evernote, passcode protection, multiple export and backup options---to the latest audio recording, shapes tool & photo editing options……you name it, they have it!!! They also have an extensive knowledge base in their support portal and provide real time support to their users. Added to all this is the considerate Developers who have been very thoughtful of counting in votes from users and working on making the most requested feature a reality! Thank you so much guys! Way to go! I highly recommend this app!
Killer App
I bought my iPad Pro to use primarily with Adobe Lightroom but have found it much more useful with my day job totally because of Noteshelf. I do a lot of on-line research and print documents to PDFs to later mark-up in Noteshelf. It's a great tool for marking up documents as well as taking handwritten notes. Even though I rated it 5 stars, there are a few improvements that could be made but otherwise, Noteshelf is a killer app. I look forward to what they may come up next.
UPDATE: After using it for a couple months since I wrote my first review, I continue to say it is THE best note taking application out there. I have purchased and tried several notable competitors and for note taking, ability to import PDFs and overall organization, none of them hold a candle to Noteshelf. I hope they continue to make improvements but even now, it makes the iPad Pro & Pencil, well worth the investment. Great productivity tool!
Not there yet
Although I agree with most of the reviews of this product it falls short of the most important features. One, no ICloud sync. You cannot access on multiple devices? Why this is not an included feature is beyond me. You can sync to Evernote for an additional charge of $1.99 but it is only one way and that is to Evernote. I want to use a journal throughout the day and on multiple devices. Second, the handwriting palm elimination is excellent. It is far better than Penultimate but it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of response time while writing. There is a slight lag which I noticed instantly since I always write in Penultimate. The App needs to be updated to really optimize for the Apple Pencil. Almost as if it was added as a updated feature by name only but never truly optimized for the amazing accuracy of the Apple Pencil. I do like the password protection on the notebooks but this app needs to address some necessary features required by most users today.

Brea, Calif. (Jan. 31, 2011) – It takes determination and grit to get to the Super Bowl, but if die-hard football fans have anything to do with this year's teams actually winning the big game, it might also take naming their dachshunds "Clay Matthews" or Siamese cats "Hines Ward." For the third year running, Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI), the nation's oldest and largest provider of pet health insurance, analyzed its database of more than 485,000 insured pets to find which competitor has the most pets named in honor of this year's Super Bowl team or its players.

Taliah Waajid
Who is Taliah Waajid?
For over 25 years Taliah Waajid has seviced and educated thousands of her clients and many consumers on the benefits of chemical-free hair care. Taliah is a Natural Hair Care specialist, a licensed Master cosmetologist and the manufacturer of the first complete line of products for natural, chemical-free hair care. Taliah Waajid is also the presenter of the largest consumer trade show that celebrates natural hair, health and beauty. naturalhairshow.org Taliah Waajid continues to live, breath and love healthy, natural hair. Her journey began when her mother refused to give in when Taliah begged her for a "perm." She learned to manage and style her hair in creative ways that quickly attracted a following and styling requests from friends and neighbors. At age 14, she started her hair care business, and quickly built a client base. In 1988, Taliah opened her first natural hair salon in Harlem, NY and continued to build a reputation for healthy, creative, natural styles.
Taliah moved from New York City to Atlanta, GA in 1991, and opened a natural hair salon at a time when wearing natural hairstyles was not popular. She grew her client base and fueled the natural movement through a combination of unique techniques, creative styles, and educating clients and stylists on the importance of healthy, natural hair. She recalled a time when she offered business cards to some women who would immediately give them back, stating "Oh, I could never wear my hair like that." Rejection fueled her desire to continue to tenaciously educate, style, and provide options other than chemicals for daily hair care.
Other stylists heard of Taliah's success and wanted to know the secret. Taliah began offering private classes to teach stylists her techniques for professional natural hair care services and braiding. Soon after, she started the Taliah Waajid Seminars, a three day intensive training on natural hair, braiding and textured weaving techniques. Taliah Waajid's specialized techniques along with her years of experience put her in the forefront of natural hair care and braiding services.
Because there were no products in the market place that catered to the specific needs of chemical-free hair, Taliah created Black Earth Products ™ in 1996. As demand for her products grew, she introduced a line for children – Kinky, Wavy, Natural™ as well as Curls, Waves and Naturals™. Her products are sold in national retail stores and local beauty supply stores.
In 1994, Taliah started the World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show™, which grew from 25 exhibitors and 150 attendees to over 200 exhibitors and 40,000 attendees from around the world. The expo made its New York City debut on July 19th-20th, 2014, Taliah's hometown and beginnings. "This expo supports the growing trend that, 'Natural is the New NORMAL in Black Hair Care.' I am excited to be in New York City. I want to return back home to impact and empower women as they bring to light their natural essence."
As demand for her products grows each year, Taliah will continue to expand her empire. An essential oils line will make its debut in this year.

Dennard has seen early praise having been named to the Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List heading into the season.
A first-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches in 2012, Dennard started all 13 games for the Spartans last season and posted some impressive numbers for the Spartans highly ranked defense including being tied for the team lead with three interceptions and passes defended with ten.
Dennard also posted 52 tackles (career high) and was the recipient of the team's Jim Adams Award for being the unsung hero on defense.
Presented by the Charlotte Touchdown Club, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy is considered one of the most prestigious defensive awards a player can win and was created to honor the most outstanding defensive college football player in America as voted on by the Football Writers Association of America.
The Chuck Bednarik Award is presented by the Maxwell Football Club and semifinalist will be announced in late October with the three finalist being unveiled in late November.
The Jim Thorpe Award Watch List is not a final list as players who are having outstanding season can be added as the season progresses. The award is presented to the best defensive back in college football and presented during a formal banquet in Oklahoma City

The pitch is about the podhaler not Insmed price or non-tuberculous mycobacterial . Arikace will be a weak competitor in the Cys Fibrosis market. Europe has the podhaler in the recommended first tier. In 2 years when Arikace finally {if} gets to market it will be just another entry.
well guess what:
[1] many of the podhaler users are irritated by the DRY powder (they can't take it / makes them cough too much, and the dry powder does not penetrate deep into the lungs;
[2] the exact same Pari base until is installed in most EU CF patients' homes already (thanks to Cayston for that); just pop in the Arikace nebulizer and off you go... once/day job done.
We should not also forget:
[3] Insmed's extremely robust patent portfolio around the liposome technology (methods of formulation, etc) include tobramycin as one of many aminoglycosides protected therein.
[4] no hurry for liposomal tobi anyway, since the effacacy of tobi is in decline (prolonged overuse) except (of course) that liposomal tobi would be more affective than TIS or TIP
[5] Teva are rolling out generic tobi inhalation solution and already have FDA approval in the US since October (2013).
remember: tobramycin is off patent, just like amikacin
well guess what: ALL drugs have side effects and limits patients. Arikace has problems with certain patients and ear problems.TIP is safe and effective and TAKES LESS TIME a day is portable.You know little.

Brantley Gilbert is not one to turn down a challenge -- even if it's one that requires jumping into the very cold Cumberland River in March. After being ribbed by two friends, Gilbert had 24 hours to do his very own Polar Challenge and post it on YouTube.
Brantley Gilbert is having quite a start to 2014!
BG Nation fans, listen up! Brantley Gilbert has finally released details for his third studio album, 'Just as I Am,' delivering the album cover art, track listing and release date.
Post by Brantley Gilbert.
It can get lonely on the road, but man's best friend can be a great traveling companion! Brantley Gilbert now has a buddy to take along with him on tour, as he's just gotten a new puppy.
The 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival -- set for June 13-15, 2014 -- will get its share of tattoos and black leather with the addition of Brantley Gilbert, who brings rock-infused country music and a fair amount of swagger to the stage.
You're going to have lots to do at Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand next month in sunny Riviera Maya, Mexico.
What do you drink when you can have any drink you can order? Why not salute the Boots in the Sand performers by enjoying the signature drink from their home state. These magnificent mixes will have you wearing a lamp shade like a sombrero at Boots in the Sand this February.

Highlight in History:
On April 7, 1922, the Teapot Dome scandal had its beginnings as Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall signed a secret deal to lease U.S. Navy petroleum reserves in Wyoming and California to his friends, oilmen Harry F. Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny, in exchange for cash gifts.

- 1798, the Mississippi Territory was created by an act of Congress, with Natchez as the capital.
- 1862, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant defeated the Confederates at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee.
- 1927, the image and voice of Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover were transmitted live from Washington to New York in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television.
- 1939, Italy invaded Albania, which was annexed less than a week later.
- 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific" opened on Broadway.
- 1953, the U.N. General Assembly ratified Dag Hammarskjold, of Sweden, as the new secretary-general, succeeding Trygve Lie, of Norway.
- 1964, IBM introduced its System/360, the company's first line of compatible mainframe computers that gave customers the option of upgrading from lower-cost models to more powerful ones.

Jordan, Jesse, Go! is a freewheeling comedy podcast about life in your twenties and everything else. Your hosts are Jesse Thorn, "America's Radio Sweetheart," and Jordan Morris, "Boy Detective." More About Jordan, Jesse, Go!
Posted by a YouTube user named rdolishny: This was one of the first Jordan Jesse Go episodes I ever heard, and I've been subscribing ever since. I love it!
Did the times we did this character ever come up in The College Years?
This is the sketch they played in my birthing class. Unfortunately, they played it with the sound all the way down, so you couldn't hear any of the dialogue. You could just barely make out the sound of the machine that goes "bing," though. Graham Chapman was a physician, of course, and I suppose that meant that some of the group's sharpest satire was reserved for the world of medicine.
Rob Corddry joins Jesse and Jordan to talk about second base, the King of Portland, marriages, pet accidents and more.
Chris Hardwick from The Nerdist and G4TV's "Web Soup" joins us for a discussion of good things turning bad.
Chris Hardwick on Episode 129: Young Man's Fancy
Chris Hardwick & Mike Phirman on episode 10 of Jordan Jesse Go!
Chris talks Wired Science on The Sound of Young America
Drew Droege from the Glitter in the Garbage podcast joins us to talk about theater, Jamie Foxx's birthday party and sleeping in the bathtub.
Comic Tig Notaro of the Professor Blastoff podcast joins Jesse and Jordan to discuss late-night smoke alarm searches, gangs of hare krishnas and more.
Dominic Dierkes of Derrick Comedy joins Jesse and Jordan for a discussion of Snoop Dogg, sports-loving children, arcade obsessions and more.
Jesse and Jordan are joined by Mary Roach, author of "Packing for Mars," among other best-selling books. They discuss the committed onanism of a particular space chimp, Thor, Werner Herzog and more.
Jordan and Jesse discuss Jesse turning 30 today, as well as missed life opportunities, jobs, and related things. Obviously, John Travolta comes up too.
Jordan and Jesse are live in Ann Arbor in this Jordan, Jesse, Go! episode. They discuss cabbies, Jordan's trip to Rio and more.

Holiday stress can strain relations with kinfolk.
But that doesn't justify killing an uncle.
And as if that blatant breaking of family ties by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un last week weren't alarming enough, he also evidently regards dogs with contempt.
In sharp and reassuring contrast, our community shows admirable, enlightened compassion for not just dogs, but cats, rabbits, assorted lizards and even tweety birds.
For instance, if you're looking for a bold and beautiful (or is that a young and restless?) Christmas gift, check out the lovable critters available from the Charleston Animal Society and Pet Helpers (more on those opportunities below).
Now back to the distant, isolated realm of North Korea:
Though the dynastic Stalinist regime there lacks sufficient territory to rate "evil empire" billing, its treatment of its own people - and its wretched ruler's benighted attitude toward dogs - is utterly vile.
From North Korea's official report last Friday on the final fate of Jang Song Thaek, Kim's uncle, who was once thought to be second in command:
"Despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him."
Worse than a dog?
Yes, "you dirty dog" and "son of a (word for female dog)" persist in the American vernacular.
But so, and much more accurately, does "Man's Best Friend."
And the inescapable implication of that "worse than a dog" line from North Korea is that Kim thinks dogs are bad.
However, dogs are good.
And people who don't think so are either a) bad or b) dumb as an ox.
Way off the leash
We running dogs of capitalism rightly fret about the prospect of the kooks who run Iran getting nuclear weapons.
Yet we also must face the reality that the kook running North Korea already has nukes.
OK, in fairness to North Korea, it doesn't waste nearly as much time - and money - as we do between issuing a capital-punishment sentence and carrying it out.
OK, that release about the sudden death penalty for Jang did display an entertainingly withering way with words, including:
"A decision of the special military tribunal of the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK was read out at the trial. Every sentence of the decision served as sledge-hammer blow brought down by our angry service personnel and people on the head of Jang, an anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional element and despicable political careerist and trickster."
And: "When his cunning move proved futile ... he behaved so arrogantly and insolently as unwillingly standing up from his seat and half-heartedly clapping, touching off towering resentment of our service personnel and people."
Well, sure, that sounds incriminating.
Then again, it also sounds fishy (no offense to fish).
And fortunately for us, America is a much nicer place than North Korea for people - and for our lucky dogs.
Plus, all of our U.S. presidents have had dogs.
That includes Bo and Sunny, energetic Portuguese water dogs who live in the White House as a members of the Obama family.
Closer to home, if you don't have a dog (or a cat), or you want to give a living and giving Christmas gift, you can get one from the Charleston Animal Society, Pet Helpers and other area shelters.
You can even do so from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday when the CAS holds a "Home for the Holidays" event at Crews Subaru on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston.
The CAS also will have adoptable animals at 4th Sunday on King Street - on Sunday on King Street. Autos will be verboten from Calhoun to Queen streets from 1 to 6 p.m. Santa Paws and some 2014 CAS Firefighters Calendar guys will be added attractions.
Pet Helpers has a busy weekend, too, with adopting outings at Old Navy in Mount Pleasant's Towne Centre from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and at Petco on 975 Savannah Highway from noon to 4 Sunday.
In the line of danger
If you still can't see why so many of us are so fond of dogs (including my Charleston Animal Society alum Coco, a dandy dachshund mix), ponder this Wednesday New York Post dispatch:
"A brave seeing-eye dog loyally leaped to the subway tracks when his owner tumbled off a Harlem platform Wednesday - and they both survived getting run over by a train, according to witnesses."
The black lab, named Orlando, "never hesitated."
And you should never hesitate to suspect the worst of anybody who barks up the "worse than a dog" tree.

According to Kaplan, this was the second year of the party expansion which included a truck that baked fresh New Haven pizza on site. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Westport building officials received an application for a permit to demolish the home at 57 Center St. in the Greens Farms area. Built in 1900, the 1-3/4 story colonial-style clapboard house has 1,891 square feet and is located on a 0.55-acre property. The Historic District Commission must review the application because the house is more than 60 years old. The HDC can vote to delay demolition for 90 days.

As Westporters mark Halloween today, the Public Safety Division of the Westport Police Department offered a number of suggestions to make trick or treating safer for children and parents.
Motorists are urged to drive with extra care as ghosts and goblins will be walking streets and neighborhoods late today and into the evening.
The Westport Police Department will have extra evening patrols that will concentrate on increasing motorists' awareness to slow down and watch for children along the roadways, as well as deterring acts of vandalism.
Parents or other responsible adults should accompany all elementary school-age children in their travels, the department said.

If misery loves company, riders on Metro-North often delight in tales of their commuting woes. Here are a couple of recent incidents that are real doozies.
On Sept. 27, the 4:50 p.m. Shore Line East Silver Streak from Stamford to New Haven made it just past Norwalk before the engine gave out.
After 15 minutes, the conductor told passengers they were "working on" the diesel and that if it couldn't be fixed, a replacement would be sent.
An hour after the breakdown, word came "a new engine is on its way." After another hour (the delay now totaling two hours and 15 minutes), the engine arrived from New Haven and the train lumbered as far as Bridgeport before further inexplicable delays.
The Westport Weston Health District is sponsoring an educational forum on MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) on Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Intermediate School Cafetorium, 24 School Road, Weston.
MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that causes skin infections and cannot be treated with certain antibiotics.
It has as been in the news spotlight over the past several weeks as a cause of serious infections. Westport and Weston each reported a MRSA case in recent weeks.
The panel, led by Dr. Stuart Steinman, medical adviser to the District, will discuss MRSA infections, treatment, and prevention.
Westporter Andy Kaplan, chief financial officer of DonorsChoose.org, told the Westport Rotary Club today about innovative ways to improve classroom education in Bridgeport and around the country by allowing teachers to become entrepreneurs and individual citizens to become philanthropists. At www.donorschoose.org, donors can search by area of interest, learn about classroom needs in low income communities, and bring to life the project they find most compelling.

State lawmakers today overwhelmingly approved a revised bonding bill that includes $1.85 million for Westport projects.
The bill, which passed after months of failed negotiations, authorizes slightly less borrowing than a bill the governor vetoed last month.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell said she will sign the revised bill into law, calling the compromise a victory for fiscal responsibility.
As with the vetoed bill, the revised measure authorizes $1 million for the Levitt Pavilion, $600,000 for the Westport Historical Society, and $250,000 for The Saugatuck senior housing project, according to Rep. Joe Mioli of Westport, a Democrat.

New York-based Ranger Properties LLC also said it has retained the Meyer Jabara organization of Danbury, which has managed the property for the past four years, to continue to manage the hotel.
"The excellent staff at the hotel is expected to remain in place," the company said in a news release.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced that today's agreement on a bonding bill means the $1 surcharge approved by the legislature two years ago as part of the governor's $1.3 billion transportation package will be scrapped in favor of an alternative developed by legislators earlier this year at her request.
"Today's bonding agreement means that the surcharge will be eliminated in favor of a more equitable system," Rell said in a statement.
"The surcharge would have been burdensome for some intrastate commuters, particularly those who only ride between one or two stations and I am pleased that the alternative will now replace the surcharge."
The surcharge was intended to help pay for Rell's 2005 Transportation Initiative, which included about 340 new cars for Metro-North's New Haven Line. The governor's plan also provided new commuter buses and hundreds of millions of dollars for improvements on all of the state's highway.

The Connecticut Light and Power Company has informed the town that it will conduct 36 hours of continuous operations beginning Wednesday in order to complete the first phase of its high voltage power line installation under the Saugatuck River, First Selectman Gordon Joseloff announced today.
"The power company made known in their application process many months ago that critical portions of the underwater drilling project would necessitate at times extending the work day for 24 hours or more," Joseloff said. "This first such operation will commence Wednesday."
The First Selectman said CL&P has informed residents in the Imperial Avenue and Lincoln Street areas that work on the "pullback" of the assembled pipe conduit under the river as part of the Horizontal Directional Drilling project will begin at 7 a.m. Wednesday and continue through Thursday at 7 p.m.
CL&P said the critical conduit pullback operation takes longer than 12 hours to complete and cannot be stopped once commenced due to the risk of collapse as the assembled conduit bundles are pulled into the drilled hole.

Women Writing Baseball
Event date:
Thursday, August 5, 2010 - 11:30pm to Friday, August 6, 2010 - 1:00am
Join us in welcoming four very important baseball scholars: Dorothy Seymour Mills (A Woman's Work: Writing Baseball History with Harold Seymour & Chasing Baseball: Our Obsession with Its History, Numbers, People and Places); Christina Kahrl (Co-founder of Baseball Prospectus );Judith Testa (Sal Maglie: Baseball's Demon Barber); and Cecilia Tan (The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, 50 Greatest Red Sox Games, White Flames, and The Hot Streak.) Don't miss your chance to talk baseball with four of the sport's greatest scholars and writers, all of whom just happen to be women.
Dorothy Seymour Mills is the co-author of the first scholarly books of baseball history, published over the years 1960-1990 under the name of her
husband and colleague, Harold Seymour. Her autobiography, A Woman's Work: Writing Baseball History with Harold Seymour, was published
in 2004. Her latest book, Chasing Baseball: Our Obsession with Its History, Numbers, People and Places is already in its second printing. Mills, an independent scholar, has published a total of 25 books on various subjects.
Christina Kahrl is one of the co-founders of Baseball Prospectus, and is currently the executive editor of the think tank's website, BaseballProspectus.com. Her regular column covering major-league transactions has been an online staple for 15 years, and she is one of just
two people to have contributed to every edition of Baseball Prospectus' New York Times bestselling baseball annual. She is a member of the Baseball Writers Association of American, having been elected in 2008 as one of the first four on-line columnists to be voted into the organization. She lives in Chicago.
Judith Testa grew up in the New York City area as a Brooklyn Dodger fan. She swore off baseball when the Dodgers moved to LA and went on to
receive a doctorate in Renaissance art history from the University of Chicago. After retiring from a career as an art history professor, she returned to her childhood interest in baseball and, remembering Maglie as a fascinating baseball character from her childhood, decided to write a biography of him.
Cecilia Tan is a writer and editor living in the Boston area, but her first love was the New York Yankees. She also played baseball for several
years in the women's hardball leagues of New England. She is the author of many books of fiction and nonfiction including *The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, 50 Greatest Red Sox Games, White Flames, and The Hot Streak.

To the batters who faced him, pitcher Sal Maglie looked like the hurler from hell. Tall and sinister in appearance, with glowering dark eyes and a formidable five-o'clock shadow, the famed righthander earned the nickname "Sal the Barber" for his high-inside fastball that cut dangerously close to the batter's chin. But Maglie was much more than his intimidating image.

From 1949 until 1990, Dorothy Jane Mills quietly contributed her research and writing to the first baseball histories ever written by a historian. The wife of historian Harold Seymour, she found herself increasingly involved with his books, as the couple presided over mountains of records on the game and worked to prepare his imposing manuscripts for press. But she received no official credit.
