I have been shooting 9mm in the Army and National Guard for around 18 years and did some shooting with 44's and my brothers Smith & Wesson 460 XVR. I have handloaded for long guns for about 25 years. I am getting ready to retire from th Guard so I decided to buy a handgun to try something different. I decided on Magnum Researches BFR in the 45-70, it so amazingly fun to shoot. Not quite as much fun as the M1A1 tanks but it will do. I have been readiing alot of forums and there is alot of knowledge and good advice here.
Yeah..you got your hands full with that one. Post pics! and a range report..Love to see what it does for ya.
Welcome from southeast Texas. Pic's please.

Israel Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told an his nation's counsul general in Boston, Nadav Tamir to resign because he sent an internal memo to his superiors outlining mistakes being made and the need to become more engaged in the peace process with Palestinians and the United States. According to the mouth who roars nonsense, "If someone is not happy and can't live with government policy, the way is not to criticise and leak but to resign." I was under the impression an intelligent government encouraged subordinates to offer critiques and suggest new policies.
On the other hand, Lieberman obviously has nothing but praise for Eli Yishai, the interior minister, who publicly stated "you cannot tell us we must not build within the settlement blocs" and insisted these buildings were necessary for "security, (and)national interests. The proposed buildings he referred to include 3,000 apartments, hotels and sport centers. There is no question Israel needs sport centers for its security.
Anyone who cares about the Israel people should hope they get rid of the Netanyahu government and its chief loud mouth, the thug who now has the position of foreign minister.

Busardi, Thailand's oldest surviving fashion house, was once again on hand for Couture week, and he'll be the collection we'll close our month of reviews on. This was the brand's second time in Paris for Couture, and the inspiration came from the Epiphyllum oxypetalum, a night blooming cactus flower.
The result included feathery headdresses that sometimes recalled fowl more than it did floral, and intricately designed dresses that were simple in shape and long on applique curly ques.The highlight of the collection came in the latter half, as designer Busardi Muntarbhorn moved from monochromatic looks to combining jewel tones to head turning effect. Many evening wear designers don't have the nerve to take such risks, but Bursadi reminded us that if you know how to use color and pattern, it's a skill one should employ often.
The full collection is below.

BAXTER CITY COUNCIL: Baxter to consider major building policy change
BAXTER — The Baxter City Council on Tuesday will be considering a proposal to amend city ordinances to allow building homes on vacant lots of record to be built with septic systems and water wells.
The proposal, if approved by the council, would only be allowed where city services currently are not available. Projects may still be initiated by a petition of 75 percent of landowners in a project area.
The idea is being considered by the council following its April 5 decision to update the capital improvement plan map by removing proposed dates for street, water and sewer projects. Instead of dates, priority areas — ranging from earliest area of consideration to later area of consideration — have been identified on the map.
The April 5 change, Mayor Darrel Olson noted, was done because placing dates on proposed projects created a uncertainty for property owners and staff.
But with the April 5 change it was determined that since the city wouldn't guarantee dates for city services the city couldn't prohibit homes to be built on vacant lots of record with septic systems and wells.
"If we can't tell people they're going to have sewer and water at a certain point, then we can't tell them they can't build," Olson said. "In effect it's a taking, we'd be taking a bundle of rights."
City Administrator Gordon Heitke said the proposed change would not apply to new plats for R-1 single-family residential projects. Those developments would still require water and sewer. Other proposed requirements include installing septic systems and water wells on the same side of the property where future city services are anticipated or, if unable to do that, having the pipes for future services installed.
Also clarified on the city's capital improvement plan map was the city's project initiation policy. A petition of at least 75 percent of all landowners in the project area can be submitted by Dec. 31 for consideration by the council, or the council may initiate the improvement in cases where the project would address a critical need or economic development project.

What/who do you enjoy listening to? Love country music, but I'll listen to a mix or country, rock, and rap before games.
If you could trade places with one of your teammates for day, who would it be and why? I'm going to have to say Brady Weaver. I never have any idea what the kid is thinking or how he actually feels, so I'd like to figure out what's actually going on up there in his head.
How did you spend your summer? Hung out with family and friends and then worked Basic Training as an element leader.

Trail Overview
Pinhoti is Creek Indian for "Turkey Home." Expect to see wild turkey on the trail, you may also see deer, snakes, turtles, squirrel, and armadillo. This is a very intimate trail, it goes through dells, alongside streams, and over rolling hills. Many sections of the trail go through long leaf pine groves, these pines give the hills and forests a soft, fluffy appearance and invite you to lay down on beds of soft pine needles. There are few majestic views along the trail but you often can see out over the mountains through windows in the trees and into the many valleys. For me the most appealing thing about the Pinhoti is the solitude. Of the many days I've spent on the trail, less than half of them have I seen other hikers or backpackers, I've always camped alone.
This page was originally written by M. Lee Van Horn while still living in Alabama between 1998 and 2001. At that point he had hiked all 111.4 miles of the Pinhoti trail, most of it at least twice and some of it as many as five times. However, the trail has changed from that time with the addition of nearly 30 miles of trail on the southern end (basically to the end of the Talladega National Forest, and the connection with the Georgia Pinhoti being finished along with a fair bit of trail on the ground in GA. This trial guide will include most of the original text of the Hiking Alabama guide as well as updated maps and a few observations from more recent hikes. However, the guide needs your help to stay relevant! All you need to do is create a Trail Wiki account and then edit away.
Preparing for the Trail
There are a few shelters along the trail, but not enough to do the hike sleeping in only shelters. Those that are available are all decent, two of them are very nice. You are allowed to set up camp anywhere in the forest, but during hunting season you need to get a permit. There are generally plenty of potential camp sites, and in my guide I'll point out the really pretty ones. I always try to camp in beautiful places.
Solitude - Be prepared not to see anyone else while you are on the trail. In many places you are within a few miles of a road, but not all. Forest roads are often gated or not used for weeks
Supplies - There are no groceries stores along the trail that I know of although the store at Cheaha State Park has very limited supplies (but it typically does have trail maps). There is also a gas station with a food mart about a mile up from where you cross US 431 in section 5.
Water - Water is an essential ingredient in your trek, you can go a long way without food but you won't get very far without water. Water is also the heaviest item you will have to carry, creating a good incentive for carrying only what you need (hiking in moderate weather 1 gallon a day per person is what I expect to use). I have pointed out the areas where water is in short supply and have indicated what I believe to be reliable water sources. However, almost all water sources on this trail are weather dependent. In droughts I've seen even large streams completely dry. During normal fall, winter, and spring seasons you should experience little difficulty. I always treat my water encourage you to use chemical treatment or a water purifier.
When to go - The trail is beautiful all year round. However my favorite times are when it is cool and the leafs are down. Then you can see out more, the long needle pines stand out more, and the heat isn't an issue. The summers can get very hot, I've been hiking when it was 100 deg, this is kind of crazy. If you do go when it is over 90, carry lots of water.
Check out the weather forecast for the Cheaha Wilderness before you go.
Maps - The guide was originally written to be a supplement to the forest service maps. This set of 5 modified 1:24000 USGS topo maps with the trail and some side trails drawn in can be bought for $5.00 - $7.00 from Alabama Outdoors or High Country Outfitters in Birmingham. The forest service will also send you the whole set of maps which can be ordered online. I strongly suggest the use of these maps. This site is built around them, they are quite good, and, while the trail is well built, in many places it is overgrown and I have completely lost the trail a few times. I'll try to point out these areas, but if you do lose the trail you'll be very glad for the map. The new sections of the trail do not have forest service maps, this is also true for the sections in the north built and maintained by the Alabama Trails Association on private land. For each section I am including maps done by Chris Johnson and published here with his permission. These maps are pretty good and cover the entire Alabama Pinhoti, although personally I still prefer the FS maps when they are available.
How to get there
Route Description
This trail guide incorporates work by M. Lee Van Horn and Solo of the Pinhoti Trail Alliance as well as maps by Chris Johnson. Solo uses a different section numbering system than Lee does (Lee's corresponds to the numbers on the FS maps and Solo's starts at the southern terminus on Flag Mountain and goes up through the GA Pinhoti).
ATA Section. (Section 13 in Solo's guide) 10.1 miles from GA state Line to High Point Trailhead ~ US 278
Section 1. (Section 12 in Solo's guide) 13.8 miles from High Point Trailhead ~ US 278 to Terrapin Creek Watershed
Section 2. (Section 11 and 12 in Solo's guide) 11.2 miles from Terrapin Creek Watershed to Burn's Trailhead (Rabbit Town Road) including Dugger Mountain Wilderness
Section 3. (Section 10 in Solo's guide) 16.3 miles from Burn's Trailhead to Pine Glen Recreation Area
Section 4. (Section 9 in Solo's guide) 13.6 miles from Pine Glen Recreation Area to Forest Road 500 Trailhead (just north of Interstate 20)
Section 5. (Section 8 in Solo's guide) 7.7 miles from Forest Road 500 Trailhead to FS 518 Trailhead
Section 6. (Section 7 and 8 in Solo's guide) 17.3 miles from FS 518 Trailhead to Blue Mountain Shelter
Section 7. (Section 6 and 7 in Solo's guide) 13.4 miles from Blue Mountain Shelter to Adam's Gap Trailhead
Section 8. (Section 5 in Solo's guide) 15.5 miles from Adam's Gap Trailhead to Porter's Gap Trailhead
Cheaha Side Trails
So, you've finished the Pinhoti! What to do now? There are 27 miles of side trails in the Cheaha area. These are really great trails that include two series of waterfalls, plus a few other random falls, a lake, the best shelter I know of, and a very diverse review of what this area of Alabama has to offer. Hiking in the area can be steep and many of the trails are very rocky, as bad as the notorious sections of the AT in Pennsylvania. Although the mountains are not very high by most standards it is possible to climb over 4500 vertical feet in a day, enough for a nice work out.
Most trails in the Cheaha Wilderness have no markings, they can at times be difficult to follow. Also, there are many old forest service and logging roads that come close or intersect the Pinhoti which are closed or little used which can make great extensions or shortcuts for your hike. Bushwacking is relatively easy, just be careful, be sure to have a map and compass, and I wouldn't do it in the summer and fall when the underbrush and thorns are think. Forest Service map number 4 is highly recommended, it is the only map I know of which includes these trails in adequate detail for hiking. The map here was drawn to 100:000:1 scale and should provide you with a bit of an idea what loops are possible. I have indicated the Cheaha Falls Shelter and the camping spot along the Pinhoti that I love. You can see Cheaha State Park indicated at the top and the Adam's of Adam's Gap at the bottom (both of which have free trailheads) there is also a free trailhead where the Chinnabee Crosses the road to Adam's Gap and a trailhead you have to pay for at Lake Chinnabee (Lake Chinnabee was closed when we were there at Christmas I'm not sure what their schedule is, the walk down to the lake is 2 miles long if it is closed). The trail colors on the map are: Black - Pinhoti; Dark Blue - Cave Creek; Medium Blue - Skyway; Light Blue - Lakeshore; Bright Green - Chinnabee; Rust - Nubbin Creek; Red - Odum. The entire Odum trail didn't fit on the map, it continues a couple more miles south to High Falls and a trailhead. Coming towards Cheaha from I65 you will see signs to the Nubbin Creek and High Falls trailheads if you want to start there.
Cave Creek Trail Cheaha Trailhead (Pinhoti Trail Section 7 and Cheaha State Park) to Nubbin Creek Trail
Chinnabee Silent Trail Lake Chinnabee Trailhead to the Pinhotit Trail Section 7
Lake Shore Trail Lake Chinnabee Trailhead
Nubbin Creek Trail Nubbin Creeek Trailhead to the Odum Trail, connecting to Cave Creek Trail along the way.
Odum Trail High Falls Trailhead to the Pinhoti Trail Section 7 and Chinnabee Silent Trail junction.

Miscellaneous Information
This page was first created by M. Lee Van Horn using a combination of information from the Pinhoti Trail Alliance site (data provided by Solo) and the Hiking Alabama web based trail guide which was written by Lee. The Hiking Alabama website is now shut down and the trail guide is put into the public domain here. Please help this become an active and up-to-date guide by updating this trail information. Maps are provided by Chris Johnson (Mr. Parkay) and used with permission.

Sunborn Luxury Yacht Hotel Built in Malaysia Seeks InvestorsPooja Thakur
Sunborn International, a Finnish property development and investment company, is seeking investors for its 189-room luxury yacht hotel being built in Malaysia, according to a sales document.
The 140-meter (459-foot) long "Sunborn III," with 15,500 square meters (167,000 square feet) of floor space spread across seven floors, will be completed this month and Sunborn is seeking to raise 120 million euros ($156 million) from investors, the document seen by Bloomberg News said. The group also owns "Sunborn II," a decade-old 140-room floating hotel docked off the Finnish coast, according to the company's website.
Turku, Finland-based Sunborn is turning to Asia as Europe's economy struggles to emerge from the deepest recession in almost four years. Asia-Pacific millionaires outnumbered those in North America for the first time in 2011, according to the World Wealth Report published by RBC Wealth Management and Capgemini SA in June.
The "Sunborn III" includes a ballroom and banqueting facilities for 360 people, 22 suites, a nightclub and an outdoor infinity pool, according to the document. Xavier Valero, head of international development and legal affairs at Sunborn, declined to comment on the new boat, saying they are always looking for investors.
Super yachts have become the world's ultimate symbol of wealth and exclusivity, according to the sales document. Floating hotels can be relocated and offer a secure investment that can be moved for economic reasons or political instability.
Wealthy Asians
Sunborn pioneered the yacht-hotel concept by building its first one in 1998. Sunborn International set up Sunborn Marine, a shipbuilding complex, in Lumut, on the west coast of Malaysia, in 2007, according to the company's website. The group, with interests in property, hospitality, health care and media, employs 800 people globally, according to the website.
The number of individuals in Asia-Pacific with at least $1 million in investable assets advanced 1.6 percent in 2011 to 3.37 million, according to the RBC and Capgemini report. That's higher than 3.35 million in North America and 3.17 million in Europe. North America still topped as the region with the largest amount of investable wealth, at $11.4 trillion, compared with $10.7 trillion in the Asia-Pacific region.
The European Central Bank forecasts gross domestic product will decline 0.3 percent this year.

Hard facts on ROI on using G2Link to monitor vendors/
If you've followed our press announcements or blog postings, by now you probably understand the benefits of smart crowd interaction to help measure and understand a company's financial performance. As well, given this capability and the enormous pressure banks are under from a compliance perspective, G2Link becomes a very real and tangible game changing technology.
Related whitepaper: Vendor Monitoring ROI
What about costs? What about the accelerating costs of compliance? What might your costs be if you don't take advantage of G2Link's trust and reputation platform? Some good questions.
To get the answers we performed in-depth interviews with several banks in the Mid-Atlantic region with assets in the $200M to $2B range. The institutions were rated based on the self-assessed quality of their program and interviews were performed to determine the hard and soft costs of maintaining vendor compliance. The tasks measured were commonly performed by vendor managers and included the following:
- New vendor due diligence
- Contract management
- Service level collection and review
- Vendor review calls
- Data acquisition
- Site visits
- Report compilation
The average number of vendors managed per employee at the highly graded institutions was 33. If we estimate the fully loaded rate per hour to $45, the average cost of compliance is detailed below.
Or a cost per vendor per year of $2,498. But wait there's more. The latest guidelines from the regulators (OCC 2013-29) place an additional monitoring burden and cost on managing risk of 3rd party relationships. Below is an estimate of these new costs of compliance:
These new requirements add an additional $2,609/vendor/year. This brings the total cost per vendor to:
Average cost of compliance —– $2,498
New requirements ————— $2,609
Total ————————– $5,107/vendor/year
Wow! Over $5,000/vendor/year, and these costs are only going to increase as mounting pressure for compliance increases.
Let's look at how the G2Link vendor monitoring platform can have a direct impact on the average cost of compliance (we won't include the cost of new requirements in this analysis as they are, well, relatively new, and G2Link already saves you a bundle on just the average cost of compliance).
Two key features in our platform that automate the manual labor of collecting and analyzing data:
1). The G2Link dashboard provides a summary of all vendors at a glance. When combined with our alerts capabilities the vendor managers can monitor compliance proactively.
2). With G2Link Custom Trust vendor manager can establish custom criteria for each class of vendors. This feature requires the vendors to PUSH the data to vendor managers instead of them seeking it – virtually eliminating contract management and vendor review costs. See the chart below on how G2Link can help control vendor management costs.
Join other banks that are experiencing the movement to better vendor management. For $1,500/month, or $18,000/year gain better insight and be more compliant with G2Link.

Where I stayed
Hotel Mirador del Lago
We passed easily through immigration and customs (nearly the only place I can understand Spanish and be understood, thanks USBP!) into Guatemala and within the first 10 miles there was a definite difference in landscape. Where Belize was littered and scraggly, Guatemala was tidy and clean. Properties are lined with wood and wire fences and even the humblest houses are devoid of trash and litter. It's easy to see how proud Guatemalans are of their homes and land
Flores is a small island in the middle of a lake that feels like the old west. Cobblestone streets are narrow and steep and winding. About half of the streets of the entire town were being dug up and replaced with concrete squares, which looks amazing but we couldn't help but sympathize with the construction workers, as all the work was being done by hand.
We found our hotel easily enough and at a rate of $16/night, including private bath, view of the lake, and nasty attitude of dour hotel manager. A bargain! We spent the rest of the day and part of the next exploring Flores and taking care of important business like getting laundry done, exchanging money, and getting information on trips to nearby Tikal. Also took a dip in the lake which was warm but refreshing.
The only disappointing part of Flores is that it's a totally gringo town, meaning it was nearly impossible to find authentic Guatemalan food. We settled on hamburguesas the first night and ceviche the second night. Not too bad but after two days we were ready to push on.

Postgame Notes
Wisconsin: Boxscore | Photo Gallery | Highlights
Minnesota: Boxscore | Photo Gallery | Highlights
Site: Evanston, Ill. (Sharon J. Drysdale Field)
Event: Big Ten Tournament (Semifinals/Final)
Score: #10 Michigan 4, Wisconsin 3; #15 Minnesota 3, #10 Michigan 2
Records: U-M (42-12), UW (34-18, 15-7 B1G), MINN (41-9, 16-6 B1G)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, May 11 -- NCAA Selection Show (ESPNU), 10 p.m.
EVANSTON, Ill. -- A two-out, seventh-inning walk-off single by Minnesota's Sam Macken handed a 3-2 loss to the No. 10-ranked University of Michigan softball team Saturday (May 10) in the Big Ten Championship game at Sharon J. Drysdale Field. It was a seventh-inning Michigan walk-off in the semifinals earlier in the day from senior Caitlin Blanchard (Petersburg, Mich./Summerfield) against Wisconsin that carried Michigan to a 4-3 win and into the final game.
In the championship game, the matchup was extremely even, with each team picking up five hits and each team leaving six on base. It came down to the last inning when Minnesota leadoff hitter Erica Meyer walked. Pitcher Haylie Wagner (Orange, Calif./El Modena) got the next two hitters on a pop-out and strikeout. With the game knotted 2-2, Meyer stole second, and then moved to third on a wild pitch.
After an intentional walk to Tyler Walker, Macken fell behind 1-2 before sending a high chopper through the right side, and Meyer home with the winning run.
Through three innings, each side had only mustered one hit, and it looked like a pitcher's duel between Michigan starter Sara Driesenga (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) and Minnesota starter Sara Groenewegen was unfolding.
Driesenga needed only four pitches to get through the third inning, and had induced seven ground ball outs through three.
Both offenses did their damage in the fourth. Following a double from Blanchard and a Minnesota error that put sophomore Sierra Lawrence (Snellville, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian) on, junior Lauren Sweet (Corona, Calif./Santiago) drilled a Groenewegen offering into right field scoring both runners.
The Golden Gophers got both runs back in their half of the fourth on solo homers from Kaitlyn Richardson and Groenewegen.
Wagner replaced Driesenga in the fourth after the pair of long balls and got out of the inning. She pitched the final three and a third innings, yielding just two hits but walking four. The southpaw suffered the loss, dropping her record to 21-3.
Senior Lyndsay Doyle (Channahon, Ill./Minooka Community) hit a two-out double in the seventh to put the potential winning run 120 feet from scoring. But Minnesota's Walker made a diving grab on a liner off the bat of senior Nicole Sappingfield (Norco, Calif./Norco) to douse any rally. The defensive effort set the stage for Macken in the bottom half of the inning.
In the semifinal against Wisconsin, Michigan rallied from a one-run deficit in the seventh to advance, with Blanchard playing the hero for the second night in a row. Her grand slam against Illinois turned a tight game into a runaway in Friday's (May 9) quarterfinal.
The game was deadlocked at 2-2 after six innings. Wisconsin's leadoff hitter in the seventh, Chloe Miller, pounded a solo shot to deep center, giving Wisconsin a 3-2 lead. Starting pitcher Megan Betsa (McDonough, Ga./Union Grove) got the next three batters in order to stem the tide.
The Maize and Blue sent its top of the order up in the home half of the seventh. Doyle started with a line drive single to center. Sappingfield pounded a double off the wall in right that brought Doyle all the way around from first with the game's tying run. Wisconsin gave Romero nothing to hit and she walked on four straight pitches.
Blanchard initially showed bunt -- she leads Michigan with 12 sacrifice bunts -- and the Michigan baserunners caught the Wisconsin defense off-guard. Sappingfield and Romero both stole, and Sappingfield wound up 60 feet from home, representing the winning run.
With the sacrifice bunt option no longer needed, Blanchard popped a single into left field, scoring Sappingfield easily from third.
Through six innings, Michigan and Wisconsin traded two-run homers. Wisconsin drew first blood, with a two-run homer three batters into the game. Mary Massei, who typically bats leadoff for the Badgers, batted in the three hole and drove the first pitch she saw out of the park to give Wisconsin a 2-0 lead.
Then in the third, sophomore Sierra Romero (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta) launched a towering fly ball into the left field bleachers to even the score. U-M loaded the bases following Romero's 16th homer of the year but was not able to push another run across.
Betsa escaped a first-and-third jam in the fifth unscathed and then got some help from Romero in an identical situation in the sixth. Facing runners at the corners again, Wisconsin's Ashley Van Zeeland broke toward second looking to get in a pickle and score Michelle Mueller from third. Sweet threw down to Romero at second, and Romero chased Van Zeeland down, tagging her out before the runner from third could come home to score, preserving the 2-2 tie.
Sweet threw out two other would-be base stealers in the game. She was part of the reason Betsa held the Badgers down. The freshman hurler went the distance, yielding six hits. She struck out six and walked three and won her 16th game of the season.
Blanchard and Sappingfield each picked up two hits, highlighted by their run-scoring hits in the decisive seventh inning.
The Wolverines will await the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday (May 11) to determine where they will open play in the NCAA Tournament. The Selection Show will be broadcast live on ESPNU beginning at 10 p.m. CDT.

Where I stayed
Camping TCS, Point a la Bise
From there we found a bus that took us into Geneva city centre. You were able to just jump on the bus and purchase your own ticket through a vending machine. None of it was in English so we played around with it and just purchased the one ticket eventually. Like Trav said before, there wasn't a great deal to do in Geneva. We looked around at some of the shops. There were quite a few jewellery shops with a guard at the front door and VIP entry only. Police ride around on these mo-ped things....see picture as I'm hopeless at explaining...you're probably picturing these old man bike things
There is a big water jet in Lake Geneva which is marked on all maps as a tourist site. Has been operational since 1891 (thats what the sign says!) renovated in 1951. Water ejects at 200kph, 500L per second, to a height of 140m. We walked out onto the narrow slippery pier, and took a short video, was quite wet from the spray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6y2AuC2CwE
Also went on a miniature tourist tram thing (Kel says Choo Choo train thing), for a half-hour tour of Geneva. Geneva does not have a lot of old buildings, we are looking forward to getting up to the Alps and seeing other areas of Switzerland.

The American people in 2008 elected a man who was a former professor of constitutional law as their president. We assumed an individual whose life had been devoted to constitutional procedures would not abuse prisoners as was done under the administration of former president Bush. Alas, Barack Obama has once again disappointed those who are concerned about human rights. Bradley Manning, who is allegedly the soldier who gave Wikileaks access to files that resulted in the world knowing about what was written by diplomats is now in a prison cell. Despite the recommendation of two forensic psychiatrists, Manning is confined to his cell for 24 hours a day on ground that he is a suicide risk. He is forced to sit in virtual blindness with the exception of times when he is allowed to read or given limited television privileges. During these times his glasses are returned. He is questioned every five minutes by guards and, if asleep, he must wake up.
Prison officials insist that he is a risk to himself, because they say so. Heck, a serial rapist is treated better than a young man who believed the world should know what was going on in our government.
P.S. Perhaps, Professor Obama can provide e

Most of us understand there are two types of law: criminal law, which involves the state against individuals, and civil law which rules on disputes between individuals or organisations. But there is also a hybrid category - law enforced by the state which carries no criminal penalties - that is become increasingly common, particularly in commercial and environmental law. It raises important questions about fairness that the Law Commission has recently put out for public comment.
The most obvious question is whether any such category ought to exist, since it extends to offences that could be called "white collar crime". It covers offences that can carry financial penalties as high as $1 million for an individual but never imprisonment or the stain of a criminal record.
While that may be a relief to the offender who can find the money, it also means he or she is more easily punished because the offence does not have to be proved to the criminal standard of beyond reasonable doubt.
Liability can be established on the civil law standard, the balance of probabilities. Is this fair? Or should the state have to satisfy the criminal standard of proof every time it brings its force to bear on an individual or company?
The commission reports that commercial law enforcers such as the Commerce Commission are increasingly using the non-criminal procedure to deal with offending that involves offences as serious as insider trading, price fixing and even money laundering. Civil pecuniary penalties for these sort of offences first appeared in the Commerce Act 1986 and can now be found in 15 statutes. The Justice Minister has asked the commission to review their benefits, drawbacks and consistency of the penalties and their use.
The Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act, for example, provides civil pecuniary penalties for breaches of rules governing genetic modification but the older part of the act, regulating hazardous substances, contains criminal offences.
The Commerce Act has produced the vast majority of civil pecuniary penalties. In most of them a company has admitted liability and the sum paid as punishment has been agreed between the company and the Commerce Commission, then approved by the High Court. The highest penalty so far is $12 million, imposed on Telecom NZ last year for restrictive trade practices.
The Securities Commission, by contrast, has been limited to criminal procedures against insider trading.
Legal purists criticise these penalties as criminal sanctions by stealth, since they can attract as much opprobrium as a finding of criminal guilt without the same standard of proof. But the Law Commission's discussion paper argues there is a place for the hybrid. It notes there is already an overlap between the punitive principle of criminal fines and the compensatory purpose of civil damages. Civil courts can order exemplary damages and criminal courts these days can award victims compensation.
The risk in civil pecuniary penalties is the perception that the system is soft on white-collar crime. But as long as fraud remains a criminal offence, punishable by imprisonment, the perception is wrong. Fraud, though, is one of the hardest intentions to prove beyond reasonable doubt. The law needs a category of offences it can punish heavily on the balance of probabilities.
A financial penalty can bring as much public dishonour as a criminal conviction for an offending company or individual, and so it should.

Created in 1926 the Dude Ranchers Association, or DRA, is now the governing body of the West's Dude Ranch industry. Over 100 ranches have passed the rigorous two year inspection and approval process and are current members of the association.
The first official meeting was held in late September 1926 and attended by many ranchers, railroad officials, and even National Park officials. Initial objectives included standardizing practices, and discussing transportation and proper care of guests. Over the years public vacation expectations have shifted and the DRA and its members have evolved their experiences to fit with changing times.
New options from multi-day children's camps and a wide range of extreme outdoor adventures to themed adult weekends and meditative spa treatments are now offered at many ranches. While the core values and horsemanship remain, DRA members are proud to share their experiences and innovative ideas at annual conventions.
This year celebrate this impressive milestone with the Dude Ranchers Association by visiting one of their member ranches. For more information about the DRA and its members contact Colleen Hodson at email@example.com.

Letter to the Editor
Ideal kink instability of a magnetic loop equilibrium
Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, 14482 Potsdam, Germany
2 School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS, UK

Corresponding author: T. Török, email@example.com
Accepted: 3 November 2003
The force-free coronal loop model by [CITE] is found to be unstable with respect to the ideal kink mode, which suggests this instability as a mechanism for the initiation of flares. The long-wavelength () mode grows for average twists (at a loop aspect ratio of ≈5). The threshold of instability increases with increasing major loop radius, primarily because the aspect ratio then also increases. Numerically obtained equilibria at subcritical twist are very close to the approximate analytical equilibrium; they do not show indications of sigmoidal shape. The growth of kink perturbations is eventually slowed down by the surrounding potential field, which varies only slowly with radius in the model. With this field a global eruption is not obtained in the ideal MHD limit. Kink perturbations with a rising loop apex lead to the formation of a vertical current sheet below the apex, which does not occur in the cylindrical approximation.
Key words: instabilities / magnetic fields / MHD / Sun: activity / Sun: corona / stars: coronae

ARGILLITE Â- The Rev. Dave King, pastor of Argillite United Methodist Church, said area pastors run into many issues that need to be addressed, such as drugs and alcohol.
"We thought that we should confront the largest problems, and prayer is the strongest weapon for that confrontation."
King is part of a multi-denominational alliance of churches that have implemented a program called Praying Against Drugs and Alcohol. Members of the group commit to praying every evening at 9 about those issues and others that are important to the community.
"It isn't about pointing fingers," King said. "The Christian faith is about compassion and love, and we want to let people who have become addicted to alcohol or drugs know that there are people who care about what happens to them."
According to King, the group focuses on first raising awareness of the problem; once the problem is addressed, then solutions "and preventative measures" can be found.
King believes the area has improved its methods of dealing with many issues and said the drug court in Greenup County is doing well addressing the problems of abuse and trafficking in illegal narcotics. The group of which King and many other pastors and ministers are members have faith their prayers can help local officials, jail ministries and the individuals caught up in what they believe has become an epidemic.
"We see the media promoting the sale of alcohol, and that is really unfortunate," King said. "But the problem isn't really the alcohol; it's how it is used and who is using it."
In light of that, a major concern of the group is the use of alcohol and drugs by those who are underage, he said. It is of the highest priority, King said, to keep alcohol out of the hands of young people who could have their lives ruined before those lives had truly begun.
The phone number listed on the sign, (606) 836-0442, connects callers with the FADE Drug Task Force, where they can report drug activities or get information on where they or others they might know can get the help they need to deal with addiction.

Federal Boiler Rule Initial Tune-Up, Energy Assessment, and Compliance Status
Deadline: March 21, 2014 and July 19, 2014
Concord, NH – The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) boiler rules require sources to perform an initial tune-up by March 21, 2014. This rule applies to oil, biomass, and coal-fired boilers at institutional, industrial and commercial establishments. This rule does not apply to residential boilers, and gas fired or electric boilers.
Over 10,000 industrial, commercial and institutional boilers are in use in New Hampshire. The emissions from these boilers release particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hazardous air pollutants such as hydrochloric acid, mercury and trace amounts of other heavy metals. Health effects from these emissions include a range of respiratory issues like asthma in children and adults, and cancer. The federal boiler rules are intended to reduce emissions of air pollutants by requiring, at a minimum, an initial tune-up of all boilers.
There are additional requirements for boilers greater than 10 million Btu/hr to conduct an energy assessment by March 21, 2014 to identify cost-effective energy conservation measures.
The notice of compliance status must be submitted electronically through EPA's Central Data Exchange, http://www.epa.gov/cdx/ by July 19, 2014 unless a paper submittal was completed prior to January 1, 2014.
For more information on this rule, tune-up information and instructions on EPA's Central Data Exchange, go to des.nh.gov, then go to "A to Z LIST" and click on "Boiler Rule."

The appartement is located very central and everything is as described - very nice, comfy and clean and it was easy to feel like home.
I can recommend this appartement and the host Hugo very much!
The appartment was beautiful. You got so much space. Everything was clean and tidy. Hugo was very helpful and gave us some advices for our stay in Lisbon. He is very friendly and was flexible with the key handover. Every thing is close to the room, if you have a god map. The streats are very tricky. Lisbon is a beautiful city and next time I will also stay at the Appartment of Hugo!
This is the perfect accomodation to explore and enjoy Lisboa. The Location is perfect, so nearly everthing is in walking distance. It was very clean and comfortable. It was no problem to cook. A supermarket is very closed by. We would recommend this to all of our friends.
The apartment was beautiful and fully equipped. Hugo is a very nice and a helpful Host.
If you want to discover Lisbon in the best way possible, you should definitely book this place! The appartment is perfect for two, well located; 5 mns from the "Praça do commercio", with lots of restaurants around !
The host is very kind, always here to help or to give advise!
One regret: We wish we stay longer ! :)
Our trip to Lisboa was very good. We enjoyed to stay in this beautiful apartment in the middle of the city. We were located directly in the middle of all beautiful areas we would like to visit. City center was only a short walk away from were we stayed. We tried 3 Restaurant in the circle of 200 meters and all of them are really great. the apartment was in a great condition and clean. We did´t prepare food during the day, but everything is there. Hugo the land lord is every time available in answering your e-mails. During our stay we did´t have any questions because it is easy to get everything you need. For us it was a special time in a great apartment in a wonderful magic city.
We had a very nice accomodation in the lovely lisbon and recommend the well furnished apartment of Hugo in a authentic area. Near by is a restaurant from mocambique. If you arrive lisbon by plane, its easy by metro to the station ROSSIO and to walk 5-10 minutes up on the hill.
Best regards from Berlin, Kerstin and Frank.
We had a great time in this cosy apartment en felt very much at home. The location is ideal and there are a lot of things to see in the neighbourhood.
Stay at Hugo's flat was enjoyable and much like home.
He met us at the apartment, gave keys and guidance on how to get around. Location was convinient, there was several sights within walking distance and metro is near as well.
Flat was clean and much like staying at home, so we could have a nice break after day of walking around Lisbon.
Would highly recommend Hugo's flat to anyone.
Very nice and cosy apartment near the town center of Lisbon with everything you need. The castle of Lisbon and a small supermarket where you can get all the things you need for your stay is very close by.
Hugo himself is very kind, reliable and helpful. When we arrived he gave us a map and explained a few spots. With his direction it was very easy to find the apartment.
We can highly recommend that place and maybe we will be back.

Hawaii has officially edged ahead of Istanbul, Turkey and will host the 2016 World Conversation Congress of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The event, which will bring 8,000 delegates from 160 nations to the isles in September of 2016, is significant to Hawaii. It's the state's first large global meeting on the scale of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which brought heads of state from more than 20 member nations to Hawaii in November of 2011. Likewise, the Hawaii Tourism Authority estimates that the event will bring $37.7 million in visitor spending and $3.6 million in tax revenue to the isles. It's also significant for the U.S. since it marks the nation's first time to host the global conference since the organization's creation in 1948.
"This is both an honor and opportunity for us to show the entire conservation community, the world over, how Hawaii has adopted a leadership role in preserving and protecting resources, developing sustainability programs on multiple-fronts, and addressing many of the issues associated with global climate change," Gov. Abercrombie said in a written statement. "The IUCN World Conservation Congress is the largest and most prestigious of all gatherings of the conservation community. Hawaii was widely recognized as an ideal venue, including a strong expression of support from President Obama."
Hawaii's selection, which was announced on Wednesday, followed a weeklong visit early last year from an IUCN selection committee, which had whittled its list of international contenders to two from eight.

Fibrocystic Breast Disease And Hormone Balancing

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same quality. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that the oil you are using is made from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable.
I had several very large, painful cysts in my breasts and told there was nothing I could do about them except keep an eye on them with yearly mammograms! Several years ago, after hearing Gary Young talk about hormone balancing in Shipshawana, IN, I started a monthly regiman of hormone balancing. I use Young Living hormone cream every day for 3 weeks, then off 1 week. I also take a capsule of SclarEssence essential oil every day following the same schedule...3 weeks on, 1 week off.
Much to my surprise, the lumps in my breast are totally gone! I wasn't even trying to rid myself of these! In addition, I was not menopausal at the time I started this hormone balancing, but have since sailed right through menopause without one single side effect! I love bragging to other women my age that I have NEVER had a hot flash and I have no idea what they are experiencing!
YL Essential Oils are powerful healing agents and Gary Young is the best!

If you or a loved one has received unsatisfactory care from a hospice, here are a few steps that experts recommend you take:
●Make sure you know what a hospice ought to provide. The American Hospice Foundation, a consumer advocacy group, offers information here: americanhospice.org/learning-about-hospice
Here is how Medicare defines the hospice services it pays for: www.medicare.gov/publications/Pubs/pdf/02154.pdf
● Contact the hospice's management and discuss your concerns.
●Contact the health department in your state and file a formal complaint. Those agencies are paid by the federal government to investigate.

According to sources with Taiwan based suppliers, China Mobile will purchase 40 million TD-LTE enabled handsets next year along with 10 million TD-LTE data communication terminal devices. Considering the number of subscribers that it has, it doesn't seem that China Mobile expects too many to make the switch to LTE service during the first year.
One of the TD-LTE supported phones available for China Mobile customers could be the Apple iPhone 5s. Earlier this month, we showed you leaked screenshots that showed the full-featured iPhone model getting tested over China Mobile's LTE network. Apple and China Mobile both have been waiting a long time for Apple's iconic smartphone to be added to the carrier's lineup and it looks like this could happen once China Mobile's TD-LTE network is approved. The Apple iPhone 5s has already been given the thumbs up by China's version of the FCC, the MIIT.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
eighteen years ago my husband and I bought our first house in what real estate agents termed an "up and coming" neighborhood in Oakland, California. We didn't think of ourselves as gentrifiers. We were paying more than we could afford, hoping that someday our neighborhood would have more cafés and fewer car thefts. We eventually bailed, but today the pawnshops and porn theater have indeed been replaced by boutiques and bakeries, and the house we sold at a loss has tripled in value.
So are "transitional" homebuyers guilty of class warfare? It's easy to talk about the downside of gentrification—high housing prices, evictions, and a creeping nimby-ism that elbows out social services. But there are benefits, too. When the white middle class left America's cities in the 1950s and '60s, they took the tax base with them, leaving behind concentrated pockets of poverty and powerlessness. Upscale newcomers bring investment, jobs, and tax revenue to neighborhoods that desperately need them, as well as intangibles like the political know-how required to extract money and services from urban bureaucracies.
There's also the environmental benefit. Renovating a house in the urban core is far more sustainable than commuting to a newly built subdivision. A University of Toronto study found that residents of low-density suburbs consumed twice as much energy and produced twice as much greenhouse gases as those living in the city centers.
Whether the costs outweigh the benefits is a tough call, partly because some of what we think we know about gentrification isn't exactly right. Take displacement. A 2005 study by Lance Freeman, a professor of urban planning at Columbia University, found the chances that a poor resident of a gentrifying neighborhood would be forced to move were only 1.5 percent—compared to a 1 percent chance of that same resident being displaced in a nongentrifying neighborhood. This is partly because poor people tend to be transient anyway, and partly because poor neighborhoods tend to have high vacancy rates. Maureen Kennedy, a Clinton administration housing official who coauthored a study of gentrification for the Brookings Institution, found that in one Cleveland neighborhood, city residents believed there had been an enormous displacement of blacks by whites, although census data revealed that there had been only a "modest inflow" of white residents. But, she adds, "perception becomes reality."
That's in part because blacks are moving to the suburbs at twice the rate of whites, an exodus driven as much by high crime as it is by high housing prices. "At least 50 percent have left because of poor education and poor public safety," says housing activist Charlene Overshown, who two years ago moved back into the West Oakland neighborhood where she grew up and has been astonished by the rise in rents and the increase in white residents.
It's true, though, that gentrifiers often exist in a kind of parallel universe. They live behind locked gates, send their kids to private schools, shop outside the neighborhood, and avoid the parks. As Freeman observes, their only interaction with the neighbors may come when they call the cops because the music's too loud.
The problem, says John A. Powell, a leading scholar of race at Ohio State University, stems from making choices based solely on your own costs and benefits. For example, should you send your kid to the local public school? "If I decide to send my kid to a school that's dysfunctional, I feel bad. If I decide not to send my kid to a school that's dysfunctional, I also feel bad. Regardless of my choice, the school remains the same. The question is, how can I transform the system not just for me but for the people who don't have the choices?"
Get involved, suggests Nancy Gapasin Gnass, a high school history teacher who bought into San Francisco's Mission district during the final days of the dot-com boom. She sends her daughter to a local school where 79 percent of the students receive free or subsidized lunches and 80 percent are Latino or black; she volunteers at the school, sits on the pta and the school site council, and has organized a group that revitalized the local park. When Gnass' daughter turned six this year, she invited the entire class. Eighteen out of twenty children came to the party and brought their families. "We all walk to school together," says Gnass, who is Filipina. "My Spanish is horrible, but I try."
Newcomers elsewhere have helped their neighbors fight evictions, taught at the local school, and started businesses that hired locals. Make sure to patronize local businesses and help the owners figure out how to "ride the wave" of new customers, adds Kennedy. Most important, urges Overshown, "Help us fight for more affordable housing. If you say this is the only place you can afford to live, well, let's all fight so that at least some of the folks, the folks who want to stay, can stay here."

Rating: * * *
Verdict: A strange combination of adult drama and family comedy that works surprisingly well as funny, if forgettable, light entertainment.
The first thing to clear up is that despite the cute advertising campaign, Marley and Me is not really a kid's film about an out-of-control labrador. It is, however, a film about family and a great dog, that families could enjoy together.
Based on the best selling memoir of the same name by journalist John Grogan, which in turn was based on a series of newspaper columns, Marley and Me is about the relationship between John (Wilson), our narrator, and his wife Jen (Aniston). It's about the stuff of relationships, and focuses on the challenges of marriage, raising kids, and the quiet, elusive search for happiness. Mixed with a dash of family pet.
Labrador Marley is the first of Jen and John's kids and is followed by three real ones, (the third of which John nicknames "Whoops"). Marley is generally regarded as the "world's worst dog". And he is, but his real role in this film is to provide comedy, wider family appeal, and represent the film's two big themes, unconditional love and loyalty.
Owen Wilson is charming as the laid-back Grogan who constantly surprises himself, and although Jen looks a little too perfect to be real, they have a believable chemistry together. This and the witty one-liners are enough to distract you from the story's lack of substance, and the feeling there are really two films going on; one about Jen and John, and another about the mad antics of a crazy dog.
Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) steals the show as Grogan's gruff editor boss, and keep an eye out for Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone) in a cameo role as a dog trainer. The trademark raspy voice is likely to be the only way you'll recognise her.
It may be hard to categorise, part adult drama, part romantic comedy and part family comedy, but Marley and Me is not hard to enjoy. Thanks to good casting choices, it celebrates sentimentality without being too cheesy, and is brazenly proud to be a well-rounded, feel-good and, at times, genuinely funny piece of light entertainment.

Back To School
If you can't understand the tax code, don't feel bad: Neither can the Internal Revenue Service or commercial Web sites that tout expert tax advice.
The disheartening news surfaced from a test performed recently by the Treasury Dept.'s Inspector General for Tax Administration. The IG submitted 50 tax-law questions, all related to small business or self-employment, to the IRS' Web site, then queried three undisclosed commercial tax-help Web sites. The tally: The IRS got only 54% of the answers right. The commercial sites did even worse, scoring a dismal 47%. (They did, however, answer in a more timely fashion than the Feds). There were 12 questions that no one managed to answer correctly.
The IRS Web site responded to 262,000 tax law questions last year and is projected to answer 350,000 this year. The IRS maintains that overall, its Web site provides correct answers to 80% of the e-mails it receives. Close enough for government work?

MgO-doped ZnO films, metastable in nature, are deposited by combustion flame pyrolysis, as this is one of the suitable methods for fabricating such nonequilibrium films. Experiments to alloy ZnO with MgO have been carried out, aiming to expand the band-gap to the ultraviolet region. Structural and optical studies show that Zn1−xMgxO films with various x values (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.33, and 0.4) could be obtained and the band-gap of ZnO could be tuned from 3.26 eV to 3.76 eV.
