"Internet Purchases Only"
"Not a Retail Store Stock Item"
This item is viewable at our retail store in LEXINGTON, KY. It may be on display and is
available for immediate purchase and pick-up.
*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order.
The 96A1 is an evolution of the legendary 92FS (M9), one of the world's
most successful pistols for military, law-enforcement and self-defense
use. Chambered in the powerful .40 S&W, it comes with three 12-round
magazines to deliver impressive firepower for any tactical use. It is
safe, accurate and reliable while offering easy operation,
accessorization and disassembly; and its durability is further enhanced
by a recoil buffer that greatly diminishes component stress. A pistol
that bears the unmistakeable Beretta looks, it is the ultimate choice
for shooters wanting a professional-grade personal- or home-defense
pistol that can also be easily adapted for concealed carry.
The cold-hammer forged barrel on the 96A1 is designed to deliver great
accuracy out of the box, while the dovetail-mounted front sight is easy
to adjust to always keep you on target. The barrel is encased in an open
slide typical of Beretta's 90-series pistols; besides reducing weight
and backward-momentum during firing, this design maximizes reliability
and virtually eliminates "stove-piping."
With the 96A1, the hard-hitting .40 S&W comes back stronger than
ever in the 90-series lineup. We have worked in conjunction with
law-enforcement experts to make this pistol shrug off tens of thousands
of full-power rounds with Beretta-style durability. The brand new recoil
buffer that is machined right into the action of the 96A1 essentially
acts as a cushon against the stress between moving parts, greatly
boosting the service life of this powerful pistol. Also, the Bruniton
finish on the metal is designed to be corrosion resistant to give
worry-free maintenance even after all-day concealed carry in
scorching-hot conditions.
The 96A1 comes with an integral Picatinny rail on which users can
easily mount a variety of tactical accessories--such as tactical lights,
aiming devices or even both. Additionally, the front sight is
dovetail-mounted, meaning that it is adjustable for windage and can be
easily replaced with an accessory front sight of the user's choice. If
you love the unmatched performance of the Beretta 92FS or M9 and want a
few extra tactical features as well as the extra power of the .40
S&W, the Beretta 96A1 is your ultimate choice.

Overcoming anxiety about sex
Good communication: The key to building a successful sexual relationship
The most important part in keeping a healthy sexual relationship with a partner is good communication. Men often react to cancer by withdrawing. They think their partner will feel burdened if they share their fears or sadness. But when you try to protect each other, each suffers in silence. No couple gets through cancer diagnosis and treatment without some anxiety and grief. Why not discuss those fears with one another so that you shoulder the load together rather than alone?
Sexual sharing is one way for a couple to feel close during the stress of an illness. But if your partner has been depressed and distant, you may fear that a sexual advance might come across as a demand. You can bring up the topic of sex in a healthy, assertive way. It's usually not helpful to accuse ("You never touch me anymore!") or demand ("We have to have sex soon. I can't stand the frustration!"). Instead, try to state your feelings positively ("I really miss our sex life. Let's talk about what's getting in the way of our being close.").

Manny Ramirez to the Yankees?
A report surfaced on the Hot Stove a few days ago which said "The New York Daily News cites a source that Manny Ramirez is expecting a deal from the Yankees". Anther newspaper from the Dominican Republic said that Ramirez is on the verge of signing a three year $75 million dollar contract.
9 Comments
I wouldn't be shocked if he went to the yankees they was a rumor that he might go to the Angels. he could stay in LA and be on a Red Sox rival team.
Bigpapi72, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Elizabeth – Manny will be Manny and do whatever he cares to do regardless of what he said. I have always appreciated Manny's skill, but I'm sorry, in Little League they teach the kids to run out each hit to first base. Manny has gotten too "big for his britches" and if he ends up with the Yanks – the boos will be as loud for him as they were for Damon.
I love your stories about your trips to Fenway, Elizabeth. They're very touching and I can totally relate to them. And I can well understand how you felt when Damon went to the Yankees after saying he wouldn't. But refusing food? Even at my most heartbroken, I've never done that!
Our signing of Tex decreased the chances of this happening, but with so little competition, I don't see why not…
Nice entry! Now that Tex is with the Yankees, I don't see why they will need Manny too. That is plain unfair for the Yankees to get all the good players. They look like they are going to be absurdly good next year…but you never know.
I agree Kaybee. Flat out unfair. I know it is hard Elizabeth, when you have a favorite player and they get traded or sign somewhere else. I remember when I met Kyle Davies when he played for the Richmond Braves. He was a class act guy that would stand and sign autographs for hours if he had time. Then he got traded to the Royals for a rental. He wasn't a top of the line pitcher but I really like him. He was a great person not just a good player.
Hi, Elizabeth …
Nice story !!! … It had to be "awesome" watching a game at Fenway, sitting in the Green Monster seats !!! … Well, I know how you feel about having your favorite players traded away … My favorite Yankee player of all-time is Bobby Murcer, and when the Yankees traded him to the S.F. Giants for "Bobby" Bonds, I was devastated !!! … Bonds only played for the Yankees "one" year, and I was so happy when the Yankees traded him at the end of that year !!! … But, after playing for the Giants, and, then, the Cubs, the Yankees brought Murcer back to the Bronx in the middle of the 1979 season, which made most Yankee fans, including myself, very happy … Bobby played for the Yanks a few more years, and when the Yankees needed to open up a roster spot for a young rookie, Don Mattingly, Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner asked Murcer if he would retire, and become a member of the Yankees broadcast team … Bobby Murcer, said, "yes", and continued as a Yankees broadcaster up to this past season, when he passed away after a long battle with brain cancer … So, Murcer will be greatly missed, but the memories will always be alive in the hearts of all Yankee fans !!! … Now, I don't think the Red Sox will bring Manny back to Boston, but at least, he will not be signed by the Yankees, since, the Yankees great move, signing Mark Teixeira !!! … It will be a "fun" 2009 baseball season; and, most of all, I look forward to all the games that will be played between the Yankees and Red Sox, the greatest "rivalry" in the history of baseball, and all sports !!! … Elizabeth, thanks for your visits to by mlblog this past month; and, Best Wishes, to you and your family, for a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy Holiday Season !!! ….. Jimmy [27NYY] http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.

If the early thoughts are anything to go by that might mean all the Sydney clubs playing their home games at ANZ Stadium and Allianz Stadium - which would become the home away from home for those nine clubs.
I'm all in favour of a big following for our game, but I'd hate this. I want to see clubs with their own grounds and traditions with separate bases in, or as near as possible, to their communities.
Massive stadiums are great for massive crowds. I hate seeing 80,000 seater stadiums with 20 or 30,000 people in them - no atmosphere is generated and a good attendance is made to look sparse.
I hope this idea dies a death!

Behind an offense that recorded 26 kills and 16 aces, the Bobcats beat Pettus in three sets.
Placement was the key for S-T.
We had some pretty key placements on our hits that when the hole was open, they were able to read that. That was really big," said Bobcat coach Holly Vasquez. "We read the open holes and that's where we sent the ball. We were smart vs. strong I think."
Of the Bobcats' 26 kills, 17 came via tips.
And that was exactly the strategy, according to Vasquez.
"We knew they had some real big blockers, so I said that we're not going to be able to hit past their blockers, so we're going to have to see where the open holes are. That's what we tried to do."
First-year Eagle coach Brittany Talamantaz said that a lack of communication was the problem.
"We're not talking to each other. That was the main thing."
Skidmore, after falling behind 8-5, rallied for a 25-20 victory in the opening set thanks to a run of eight straight during Mireyna Solis' service game.
The run served as a microcosm of what would happen throughout the night.
Solis had three aces in the run, one of which wasn't even touched and fell between two Eagles and Lauren Richmond had two tip-kills.
Solis would finish the match with five aces. Isabel Jimenez added five as well. Mari Martinez and Charli Perron each had three.
"We did really well serving," Vasquez said. "That's been our weakness. We stepped up on serving."
Offensively, Richmond had seven kills, Perron had five, Jimenez had five and Amanda House had four.
In the second set, S-T again rallied for the win, climbing out of a 9-6 deficit to win 25-22.
The Bobcats (9-2) completed the sweep with a lopsided 25-14 win that included three runs of at least four straight points.
Talamantaz said afterward that fatigue played a factor for her team.
"We need a lot more endurance. The girls got tired real quick," she said. "They are getting fatigued out there."
Still, she thinks her team is on the cusp of turning the corner.
"Right now, we're still at that little behind mark. But, we're just about to pass it over. The girls are starting to work together a lot more and getting used to each other.
"We're going to take a little bit of time, but, by district, watch out."
Hana Kruger led the Eagle offense with seven kills. Randi Arrisola had five kills and two aces.
Ashlynn Schauer had five aces and two kills and Anna Elder had four aces.
Vasquez says her team is riding high early in the season.
"I think this is the best start we've had in two years, so I know their confidence is up and they have a lot of momentum going into the next tournament. That's the big thing we needed, was our mental game."
In the junior varsity contest, Skidmore-Tynan improved to 7-0 on the year by sweeping Pettus.
The Bobcats won the first set 25-11 and the second set 25-12.
In other action, Pettus (5-4) split two matches.
The Eagles beat Agua Dulce in three sets, but fell to McMullen in two sets.
Against Agua Dulce, Pettus won 25-27, 25-21, 15-12.
Elder led the Eagles with five kills, three assists and two aces. Arrisola had four kills, three assists and eight aces.
McMullen beat the Eagles 25-13, 25-16.
Arrisola had four kills, four assists and three aces.
The Bobcats finished as runners-up at the Pettus tournament on Aug. 16.
Tilden beat S-T 25-13, 25-14.
In other action at the Pettus tournament, S-T beat Agua Dulce 25-18, 24-26, 15-12 and Nordheim 20-25, 25-14, 15-5.
The Bobcats also claimed a five-set win over Riviera 14-25, 25-10, 25-19, 20-25, 15-12, and a three-set win over Kenedy 25-18, 25-15, 25-20.
Yorktown beat S-T 26-24, 25-17, 22-25, 17-25, 15-7.

May 8, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Much has been written about winning, a goal that for some borders on obsession. But, contrary to the oft-quoted words of the late Vince Lombardi, winning is far from the only thing. That said, it certainly does feel good to win, especially when you've worked long and had struggles along the way.
For the Sullivan West Bulldogs baseball team, putting together a string of three consecutive victories to offset a winless season start was uplifting. Victories over Chester and Chapel Field were nice, but a come-from-behind 8-7 win over Monticello was sweeter than sweet. Patrick Pierce hit a bases-clearing triple and then scored on an errant throw to third as the Bulldogs pulled ahead in the fourth inning after trailing 5-1. Junior hurlers Sawyer Erlwein and Karl Knecht combined for the win.
Monticello's boys and girls track teams bested Port Jervis to remain unbeaten in their league. The Montie boys can lock up a third consecutive Division III title with a win over Liberty on May 9. Should the Lady Monties win there too, it will bring the first girls division title in more than 20 years.
At the Tri-Valley Relays held at the Iatauro Sports Complex on May 5, the Tri-Valley girls track team continued their barnstorm spring avalanche of success with a second-place finish overall and first among the small schools present. The Lady Bears were gold medalists in the following: F/S Sprint Medley Relay (4:36.7); 6400 relay (24:34.6) featuring Brooke Gillette, Olivia Rehm, Danielle Graham and Sabrena Smith; F/S Discus relay (162-3); hammer relay (237-8) with Dominque Darby and Heidi Furman; varsity shot put relay (68-5 ½) with Darby and Mareena DiMilia; 2000 steeplechase (7:58.9) won by Autumn Bender; 300 shuttle hurdles (51.8) with DiMilia, Vicky Tingley and Ali Reynolds; distance medley relay (14:14.6) run by Bender, Alex Brooks, Sabrena Smith and Rehm; javelin relay (185-9); and the 1200 intermediate hurdle relay (3:42.5) behind the combined effort of Katlynn Greffath, Sabrina Smith and Reynolds.
As for the Tri-Valley boys squad, a third-place finish overall and second among small schools marked yet another stellar outing. The boys finished first among Division II schools at the Tri-Valley Invitational and fourth overall at the Monticello Games. The Bears were gold medalists in the following: F/S sprint medley relay (3:54.4) run by Aidan Woolsey, Tyler Greffrath, Josh Winters and Justin Weintraub; and the hammer relay (269.4) with Brendan Tierney and Raphael Ramirez. Eldred's Hunter Proscia won the 2000 steeplechase in 6:25.3. Craig Burns won the 100 in 11.3; Sullivan West took gold in the high jump relay as Mitch Paciga and Matt Cardona combined for a height of 11-6. Rachel Deppa won the non-scored 1500 racewalk (8:09.4). Liberty claimed the gold medal in the boys 1200 intermediate hurdle relay (3:00.5) as Erick Cuellar, Andy Hazelnis and Kane Sauchuk combined for the speedy win. The Indians also garnered gold in the varsity 400 relay (46.0) as Cuellar, Nick Campos, Kenny Jaycox and Hazelnis marshaled the victory. Liberty's girls varsity 400 relay (52.7) was also victorious as Amanda Bertholf, Nikole Snyder, Rebeccah Harman and Lara Jane Heslop flew down the track with the baton in hand. In boys golf, Sullivan West completed the season sweep of Tri-Valley with a 234-245 win. Drew Billard led the way with a three-over-par 39 on the front nine at Tarry Brae. The Bulldogs hold a two-match lead over Tri-Valley and Eldred and are in position to win their ninth consecutive Division IV title. Fallsburg's Richie Elliott shot a one under par 35 at Tarry Brae in a losing effort to Tri-Valley just a day later. Elliott is the reigning OCIAA boys golf champion and a winner in every sense of the word.

Michigan Moviegoer Sues Over High Snack Prices
By editor • Mar 5, 2012
Originally published on March 9, 2012 9:51 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Joshua Thompson is a big moviegoer, but high prices at the concession stand left a bad taste in his mouth. So after paying $8 for a Coke and a box of Goobers, Thompson filed a class action lawsuit. It accuses Michigan's AMC Theaters of charging grossly excessive prices for snacks. Consumer lawyers told the Detroit Free Press the lawsuit will likely be a flop, but moviegoers are applauding. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Time to dealNovember 15,2012
At first blush, Peter Welch's idea might sound like brinksmanship, but the congressman may actually have one the most practical solutions to the "fiscal cliff" proposed so far.
Welch, a Democrat from Windsor County, has spent the last couple of days telling news outlets that Democrats should be willing to go over the cliff if that is what it takes to get a good deal on taxes and spending.
"It may be necessary," Welch told The Times Argus on Wednesday afternoon. "The prize is a responsible deal on the debt."
The "fiscal cliff" is the combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts Congress has passed over the last several years that is set to kick in at the start of the new year, Jan. 1, 2013. While the crisis is being called a "fiscal cliff," it is more like a policy slope in which implications are staggered over time. Unlike the debt ceiling crisis of a year ago, this deadline is less rigid, giving Congress time to reach reasonable solutions if the Dec. 31 date lapses.
But the economic implications still are notable — and potentially historic.
According to the Huffington Post, economists have warned that ending all the Bush tax cuts at the same time as the alternative minimum tax is set to haul in many more people — and the same time as Congress' decade-long budget cut of some $1 trillion will begin — could push the economy into recession again. It's a one-two punch of taking government money out of the economy while taking money out of consumers' pockets.
And while all sides seem to agree the tax system needs to be reformed and that spending must be controlled, the parties are miles apart on how. Democrats favor as part of their solution letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire only for income above $250,000, leaving the cuts in place for about 98 percent of the country.
Ignoring the deadline is not ideal; the pressure to resolve the crisis mounts with every day.
Welch is arguing that if a deal between President Barack Obama, Republican Speaker John Boehner, of Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, falls through before the Dec. 31 deadline, Congress might dodge its responsibility and postpone the decision, or let the date lapse, which would force the sides to come up with a meaningful solution.
"Kicking the can down the road" makes Congress look dysfunctional and again mired in brinksmanship, Welch said.
On the other hand, forcing a deal after Dec. 31, with the pressure really building, could yield real solutions on the debt.
"(Democrats) should not blink if blinking means that we pretend that there isn't a serious debt issue that we have to address and that revenues have to exempted," he told The Times Argus. "We've blinked before."
With the leverage they have from Obama's election to a second term, and the sound beating Republicans and their agenda took Nov. 6, Democrats may not have to blink this time around.
"I'm a skeptic (the president and the leadership) will be able to reach an agreement," Welch cautioned. "But it doesn't matter if it's January 1 or January 10, as long as the deal is a sound one."
And he may be right.
Boehner has said repeatedly that the GOP is open to revenue — but not by raising taxes on the wealthy. (That has been the mantra through Obama's first term and the campaign.) Boehner argues growth would happen if Congress cuts taxes and closes loopholes.
But until Boehner can demonstrate where that money would come from, there is no need for blinking by Democrats.
"(When we get a deal) is less important than what we get is solid and substantial."
Now, with a mandate from the nation's voters to "work it out together and resolve these issues," the conditions in Washington, D.C., are right for resolution.
Welch is absolutely correct even if his argument sounds dramatic: Punting the issue would send the wrong message to financial markets and the American people.
We need confidence in our elected officials to make the decisions that move us beyond brinksmanship, posturing and stalemates.

Updated at 8:15 a.m. ET: NBC News' Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and members of his network production team were freed from captors in Syria after a firefight at a checkpoint on Monday, five days after they were taken prisoner, NBC News said early Tuesday.
"After being kidnapped and held for five days inside Syria by an unknown group, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and his production crew members have been freed unharmed. We are pleased to report they are safely out of the country," the network said in a statement.
"It is good to be here," Engel said during a live appearance on TODAY from Turkey. "I'm very happy that we're able to do this live shot this morning."
Engel said that they were traveling with Syrian rebels when a group of about 15 gunmen "jumped out of the trees and bushes" and captured them.
'Psychological torture'
He said the gunmen executed one of the rebels "on the spot," and later during their captivity they were subjected to mock executions while blindfolded and bound.
"We weren't physically beaten or tortured. It was a lot of psychological torture, threats of being killed," Engel said.
"They made us choose which one of us would be shot first and when we refused there were mock shootings. They pretended to shoot Ghazi [Balkiz, an NBC producer] several times," Engel said.
Balkiz said that they had "worked with each other very well… we kept each other's spirits up" during their ordeal. Cameraman John Kooistra said he had "made good with my maker" and had been "prepared to die many times."
Engel said their captors "were talking openly about their loyalty to the government" of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
He said he had a "very good idea" about who they were -- members of the "shabiha" militia, loyal to Assad, trained by the Iran's Revolutionary Guard and allied with Lebanon-based group Hezbollah.
Engel said their captors' plan was to use them to win the freedom of people held by the rebels.
"They captured us in order to carry out this exchange," he said.
NBC News file
Richard Engel at the end of a reporting trip in Syria in July of this year.
Engel, 39, and his team disappeared shortly after crossing into northwest Syria from Turkey on Thursday. The network had not been able to contact them until learning that they had been freed on Monday.
The network said there was no claim of responsibility, no contact with the captors and no request for ransom during the time the crew was missing.
After entering Syria, Engel and his team were abducted, tossed into the back of a truck before being transported to an unknown location believed to be near the small town of Ma'arrat Misrin. During their captivity, they were blindfolded and bound, but otherwise not physically harmed, the network said.
Early Monday evening local time, the prisoners were being moved to a new location in a vehicle when their captors ran into a checkpoint manned by members of the Ahrar al-Sham brigade, a Syrian rebel group. There was a confrontation and a firefight ensued. Two of the captors were killed, while an unknown number of others escaped, the network said.
The NBC News crew was unharmed in the incident. They remained in Syria until Tuesday morning when they made their way to the border and re-entered Turkey, the network said. They were to be evaluated and debriefed, but had communicated that everyone was in good health.
NBC News said it "expressed its gratitude to those who worked to gather information and secure the release of our colleagues."
Engel is widely regarded as one of America's leading foreign correspondents for his coverage of wars, revolutions and political transitions around the world over the last 15 years. Most recently, he was recognized for his outstanding reporting on the 2011 revolution in Egypt, the conflict in Libya and unrest throughout the Arab world.
One of the only Western journalists to cover the entire war in Iraq , Engel was named chief foreign correspondent of NBC News in April 2008. He joined the network in May 2003.
The Syrian civil war began in March 2011, when demonstrators took to the streets to show support for the so-called Arab Spring uprisings sweeping across the Middle East and north Africa and to demand the resignation of Assad of the ruling Ba'ath Party. The following month, Assad deployed the Syrian army to quell the uprising, ordering troops to open fire on demonstrators. But despite the harsh crackdown, Assad's troops and militias loyal to the government were unable to quell what soon became an armed uprising.
In the intervening months, the security situation in the country has continued to deteriorate amid increasingly fierce fighting between Syrian troops and a loose confederation of outgunned but increasingly emboldened rebel forces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimated in November that more than 40,000 people had died in the fighting.

We'll Be Their "Wingman"
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
We'll Be Their "Wingman"
Are you a self-starter? Do you have a general-management skill set? Are you used to constantly changing roles and responsibilities? Are you disciplined and focused? Are you risk-tolerant and able to manage stress?
These are the threshold questions that SBA counselors ask every day to help prospective entrepreneurs assess if they have what it takes to be a successful small business owner. And when those questions are put to veterans of the U.S. armed forces, they often get "yes" replies.
The military has a track record of producing outstanding leaders, which helps explain why nearly 1 in 10 U.S. entrepreneurs are veterans. Statistics show that vets are 45 percent more likely to be their own boss than their non-veteran counterparts. Veterans own 2.5 million American businesses that employ more than 5.8 million people. These companies generate more than $1 trillion in sales a year. (That's a staggering sum. You could pay the salaries of 57 million Army privates with a trillion dollars.)
Our veterans have worked hard and made so many sacrifices for our country. They have put themselves in harm's way and often must leave their families behind to keep America safe. At the SBA, we have a solemn duty to work as hard for them as they've worked for us. No one deserves to live the American Dream more than those who've put on a uniform and fought to defend it.
On Tuesday, I attended the "Boots to Business" program at the Pentagon. In a small classroom of students, primarily service members transitioning out of the Air Force, the SBA put on a two-day "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" course that focused on how to translate military experience into succeeding as a small business owner. I was inspired by the power and diversity of these heroes' dreams: aspirations to open a medical practice, a flight services engineering firm, a cybersecurity company, a photography business, a veterinarian practice, and a barbecue restaurant, to name just a few.
This year, the SBA will train 15,000 transitioning service members and introduce them to the basics of business ownership. After the two-day intro class, SBA offers an intensive eight-week course to help these leaders evaluate their business concept and develop viable business plans. SBA then continues to provide guidance through our resource partner network in communities across America by offering one-on-one assistance to assess and mitigate risk, comply with regulations, access financing and create new jobs.
I've started three businesses, and I know it can often seem like a lonely road. But there are resources available; you just need to know where to look. In the military, you get used to being part of a team … and not just any team, but the finest team in the world: the United States Armed Forces. I promised the members of that class – and I extend this promise to all veterans – that if they pursue their dreams of opening a new business, they won't be alone. The SBA will be right by their side, offering counseling, contracting opportunities, and access to capital.
The SBA will be their wingman, fighting for them and with them, every step of the way.

Maplesoft Survey Reveals Engineers, Scientists Rely On Hand Calculations
Characterizing Engineering as a Modern Field
WATERLOO, CANADA, May 25, 2006 — Maplesoft™, the leading provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, today announced that according to an international survey, mathematical calculations in engineering and academia are still most often performed with pencil and paper. On a daily basis, respondents turn to scratchpads and calculators more frequently than any other tool for mathematical tasks. The same survey also revealed this community largely considers its field of work and study to be "fully modern" and "taking full advantage of modern tools and technology."
These results are drawn from an extensive, international survey of scientists, engineers and researchers across a variety of markets, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, telecommunications, pharmaceutical, life sciences, finance and education. With more than 2000 participants, the survey offers unprecedented insight into the daily practices, experiences and perceptions of the technical user community.
When questioned about how frequently they used a range of tools and resources for design and analysis:
"It is startling to see such hard data revealing the continued reliance on tools and practices that require so much manual effort and leave so much room for error," said Jim Cooper, CEO of Maplesoft. "This is a user base that is charged with driving innovation, exploring the cutting edge and bringing the best new products and services to market and yet, to a large extent, they are holding onto outdated and outmoded practices. So much of their important work will remain
locked in their notebooks and lost to the layers of their spreadsheets rather than captured and carried forward with all of their logic and thinking documented."
The Maplesoft survey was open to all engineering professionals, including design engineers, research scientists, field engineers, project managers, consultants and educators. From December 2005 to February 2006, 2092 participants from the United States, Canada, Germany, the UK and Japan filled out the extensive online questionnaire covering collaboration and communication, design and analysis tools and overall perception of the design environment.

Manchin joins gun background check effort
PARKERSBURG – A U.S. senator from West Virginia is working behind the scenes on a compromise expanding background checks on gun sales.
Sen. Joe Manchin Friday had little to disclose other than the four senators working on a compromise had to include a Democrat and Republican with A ratings from the National Rifle Association.
"We're working in a responsible and reasonable way," Manchin, a Democrat and member of the NRA, told The Parkersburg News and Sentinel.
The Associated Press on Friday reported that Manchin and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., were involved in the private talks. Schumer is the third in leadership in the Democrat-controlled Senate and Coburn is a member of the NRA.
Coburn and Manchin have A ratings from the NRA while Schumer and Kirk have Fs.
An issue is background checks are required only for sales by federally licensed gun dealers, of which there are more than 55,000. However, background checks are not required for sales at gun shows that are person-to-person sales or private transactions.
Other aspects such the "culture of violence" in the nation need study, too, Manchin said.
"We need to look at all aspects of that," he said.
Expanding background checks is part of the gun-control plan put forth by President Obama after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre in December.
The discussions by the senators includes ways to encourage states to put mental health records in a national system, the types of gun transactions that could be exempt, such as between relatives or those who have permits to carry concealed weapons, exempting sales in remote areas and to help veterans who sought treatment for traumatic stress disorder and are prohibited from getting firearms.
The senators have been frequently talking with each other, Manchin said. They will reach an agreement, then take it to other lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans, he said.
"We're just about finished with our drafts," Manchin said.

We've tried mixing a little of the formula into his breastmilk to see if he'll get the taste but as soon as he tastes it he stops. It makes it hard when my milk is low. He does eat baby food once or twice during the day but then he gets milk with the food after to fill him up. Also, since I'm in the Air Force I'm coming up for a possible deployment out of the country for atleast 4 months in a couple of months and I need to get him off the breastmilk. I only pump now since he's at a daycare and stuff but I need help or some suggestions on the best way to get him to take some formula or other substitutions.

August 13, 2012 —
The Trust for Public Land has permanently protected 310 acres of forest in Blooming Grove Township, Pike County. The property was transferred to the Bureau of Forestry as an addition to the 80,267-acre Delaware State Forest.
Funding for the $1.2 million acquisition was provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) through the Community Conservation Partnerships Program and a grant from the Pike County Scenic Rural Character Preservation Program. The Trust for Public Land assisted Pike County and local partners in passing a $10 million open space bond in 2005.
"Our priorities when it comes to adding land to our system is to provide buffers to our existing lands; expand trails, which we know is the number one priority of our residents; and protect habitat and resources such as water quality," said DCNR Secretary Richard Allan. "The conservation of this land meets all of those goals."
Allan added that open space protection and trail expansion are priorities in the Pocono Forest and Water Conservation Landscape effort to bring many partners together to tie economic vitality to natural resource protection.
Surrounded by state forest on two sides, the newly acquired property will expand the Blooming Grove 4-H Hiking Trail. Located adjacent to the property, the hiking trail is a seven-mile trail system developed by Pike County 4-H Club members in coordination with the Bureau of Forestry.
The property will also buffer the White Deer Lake section of the state forest, protecting water quality. Visitors to White Deer Lake can launch boats, fish for bass and panfish, hike, mountain bike and horseback ride on the property.
"The Trust for Public Land is pleased to have partnered with Pike County and DCNR to add this property to the Delaware State Forest," said Anthony Cucchi, Pennsylvania state director for The Trust for Public Land. "Now that the property will be actively managed by the Bureau of Forestry, the contiguous forest will enhance the local tourism economy, conserve natural resources and protect Pike County's rural character."
Renowned for its remote glacial lakes and bogs rich with plants, wildlife and scenic beauty, the forest derives its name from the nearby Delaware River. With frontage along routes 6 and 402, the 310-acre property was a high acquisition priority for the Delaware State Forest, which attracts millions of visitors annually from the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, each located two hours away.
For more information about the Delaware State Forest visit the DCNR website at www.dcnr.state.pa.us [1] and choose "Find a Forest."

Throughout the week, the attendance was over 200 with St. Joseph High School Varsity Volleyball Coach Mumphord staying very busy with hitting drills, passing techniques, as well as working on overhead serving with the junior high. According to Coach Mumphord, he has seen a drastic improvement in the high school volleyball program and our junior high program is making strides in the right direction, although numbers should be higher to maintain a strong high school program.
Thank you to Kayla Krietsch who also helped Coach Mumphord during the volleyball camp. Also from St. Joseph High School and local Kenedy resident, Coach Rudy Diaz, took our Kenedy softball girls to a tournament at the Field of Dreams in Victoria on Sunday, Aug. 4. The girls 12-14 age group played 3 games for the first time for Kenedy 4B with schools from Our Lady of Victory and N.A. Academy from Victoria. The girls displayed some good softball techniques throughout the tournament. We would like to thank the City of Kenedy, Kenedy 4B, Larry Kiesling, Coach Diaz, Coach Booker, Coach Bell, Coach Havron for letting us use the school facilities, and all the donations received from individuals and businesses and the Countywide, it was another great summer for Kenedy 4B.

Eastern New Mexico University's baseball team has battled to the final weekend in each of the last three seasons trying to make the Lone Star Conference postseason tournament.
In 2009, the Greyhounds qualified with a top-six finish; the other two years, they came up short.
With Incarnate Word becoming the 13th baseball-playing member of the LSC this season, veteran ENMU coach Phil Clabaugh knows making the LSC meet becomes a little tougher this year.
The league has gone to a 36-game conference schedule this spring, with 12 three-game series, as opposed to 44 games (11 four-game sets) in previous years. Abilene Christian will host the LSC get-together May 7-10.
"I don't think it's going to make a lot of difference who we're playing," said Clabaugh, entering his 20th season at ENMU. "I think it's going to take 20 wins to make the tournament. The only goal we've talked about all year is to make it to Abilene."
ENMU (22-29, 20-24 LSC last year) will have to do it with a relatively new team. Four regular position players return in sophomore center fielder Luis Quinones, senior second baseman Chris Eaton, junior first baseman Mitch Wolfe and senior shortstop Kevin Thompson.
The team's pitching staff, which struggled to a 9.93 earned run average in 2010, has been overhauled even more. Senior right-hander Anthony Smith, who went 4-2 with eight saves as the closer last year, is expected to move into the starting rotation while the only other returnee is sophomore left-hander Tyler Vance.
The catching position is wide open between freshman Brandt Guyer of Amarillo and junior college transfers Dillon Downs and Joe Huwer.
"So far none of the three have stood out," Clabaugh said. "They're all adequate throwers and pretty similar with the bat."
Wolfe, who hit .360 with a team-leading six homers and 41 RBIs last season, will be at first base with Eaton (.261) at second and Thompson (.313) at short.
"It's the same thing every year," said Wolfe, who is from the Pnoenix area. "You need good pitching and you need quality defense. We try to keep the double play in order and turn at least one a game; if we can do that, we should be OK."
Jose Campos, another juco transfer, is solid defensively at third base and should hit somewhere in the middle of the lineup, Clabaugh said. Juniors Russell Hartshorn and Alex Schultz could see time at first base and in the middle infield positions, respectively.
"Defense shouldn't be a big issue," Clabaugh said of the infield. "We've shown the ability that if we can get to the baseball, we can catch it."
Quinones (.383) is likely to start in center, with five others challenging for playing time in the outfield.
"We've got some pieces to the puzzle," Clabaugh said, "but we've got a lot to figure out."
Others contending with Smith in the starting rotation include junior right-handers Andrew Martin, Corey Cole and Jaspret Shergill, sophomore right-hander Ryan Pruitt and junior left-hander Marcus Drake. Clabaugh said Drake, who has a good changeup, could turn into a setup man.
Wolfe said the three-game series format should be helpful because it won't require teams like ENMU to have to go quite as deep on the pitching staff.
"We've got a lot of depth on the mound, if everyone stays healthy," he said. "And I think this is one of the fastest outfields we've had since I've been here."
The Hounds open the season with a conference series at Central Oklahoma on Friday and Saturday. The following weekend they'll play in a tournament event at Texas-Permian Basin before kicking off their home slate with a three-game LSC set Feb. 18-19 against rival West Texas A&M.
