Kent Hance is the chancellor of Texas Tech University System and a former U.S. Congressman.
Hance, born in Dimmitt, Texas, attended Texas Tech and graduated in 1965. In 1968, he earned his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, and he returned to Texas Tech to teach law for the next five years. In 1974, Hance, a Democrat at the time, began his political career when he won a seat in the Texas Senate. He was one of four members who served on both the Finance and State Affairs committees.
He ran for U.S. Congress in 1978 against Republican challenger George W. Bush and gave the future president his only political loss. According to Texas Monthly, the race had a large impact on Bush's political development. Hance was re-elected for two more terms, and maintained a moderate voting record, according to the American Conservative Union rankings.
In 1984, instead of running for the again for Congress he ran for U.S. Senate. Hance narrowly lost the Democratic primary to now U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, who in turn lost the general election to now former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm.
Shortly after the loss, Hance switched parties and became a Republican. Republican Governor Bill Clements appointed Hance to the Texas Railroad Commission, and in 1988 Hance was elected to the seat, making him the first Republican to serve on the commission. Hance was elected chairman of the commission in 1989 and stayed on the board until 1990.
In 2006, Governor Rick Perry appointed Hance chancellor.
According to his Texas Tech biography, he is married to Susie Hance and practices law in Austin as a partner with Hance Scarborough LLP. Texas Tech houses Hance's papers.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
After spending the last two years out of the NBA, devastating financial issues related to gambling and other debt have prompted former Celtic Antoine Walker to attempt a comeback to the NBA.
Back in 2002, I remember watching a playoff game between the Celtics and the 76ers, back when Walker was the unquestioned leader and Paul Pierce was the enigmatic youngster. Antoine had come out absolutely on fire, like one of those NBA Jams characters, and nailed his first seven three-point tries. Thrilled by this scorching display of shooting, we naturally wanted him to keep firing, and in typical Antoine fashion, he obliged. The result was also typical Antoine, six consecutive misses. The reason I bring up this game is because it's a microcosm of his entire career.
Walker had a very unique set of skills; he had tremendous passing vision, the ability to shoot from range and an impressive array of post moves. For whatever reason, he chose to rely on his shooting. He ignored the numbers that suggested he was a world class brick-layer, all for his love of contested 25 foot jumpers. Antoine led the league in three point attempts three years in a row (2000-2003), easily topping the number of triples hoisted by legitimately great shooters like Ray Allen and Reggie Miller. He shot a miserable 32% from deep in 2002/2003, yet still felt the need to fire up 582 threes.
However, despite his pension to jack up bad shots, Walker was definitely an excellent player. He was, after all, the best player the Celtics had after Larry Bird retired. A three-time All-Star, Antoine was multi-talented on offense and could defend and rebound better than anyone on the Celtics at the time. He was the leader of a 2001-2002 Celtics team that made the Conference Finals, and also played a big role in the Miami Heat's 2006 title.
So far, no one has invited Walker to training camp, and as much as I'd love our old friend to find his way back into the NBA, it's not happening. Antoine was completely out of shape and washed up by age 30. Even a 22-win Timberwolves team back in 2007 had no use for him. Sadly, the chances of an NBA team signing the decrepit (and 34-year-old) Walker for the 2010-2011 season aren't good.
So unless Danny Ainge wants to relive the glory days of a perennial 42-win team from the last decade (a team he dismantled, by the way), don't expect to see Antoine in Celtic Green ever again.

We wanted to CELEBRATE OUR BIG LAUNCH by featuring one of our very favorite blogs, Decor8.
An interior decorator and freelance writer, Holly Becker, wanted to create a blog that would catalog what she loves, and reach out to others who share her passion for design and need for creative living. She has done an outstanding job by bringing cool ideas, unique finds, and a community of friends we can only dream of having, to the blogging world.
In an exclusive e-mail interview with Holly, she opens up about her life, her goals, and what makes her happy. You can tell right away what a real and genuine gift to the on line world she truly is…….
1. With the wonderful design career that you've had what made you decide to start blogging?
I really haven't had a wonderful design career, but thanks for saying that. I actually managed facilities and communications for most of my career, only recently leaving to pursue my passions in writing and design. After working with clients for only 7 months, I decided to start a blog (1/06) because I wanted to catalog my finds and back then, only a handful of design blogs existed, so it felt like the perfect time to get started. I am a vintage modern kind of girl with a love of textiles, sewing, flea markets, art, and travel. I wanted to blog about things I was passionate about.
2. How long have you been blogging?
I started in May 05 but didn't know what to say, so I sat on it for 8 months until I knew. In January 2006, I blogged for the first time and haven't stopped talking since.
3. How much time do you spend writing posts, doing research and reading comments per day?
2-3 hours on posts and 24 hours a day on research, ideas are all I think about.
4. What other blogs do you read (work & pleasure)?
My list of daily reads is long, you can look at my blogroll on decor8 (left column) to catch a glimpse.
5. Where does your inspiration come from?
First, inside. I have a very creative and vivid imagination, things pop up in my brain at random and I find myself extremely creative in spurts based on that. On days when the creativity isn't there, I turn to my favorite books and magazines (I am very visual), or have a stimulating conversation with my husband or a friend. My husband and I are together a lot, so I'm able to bounce ideas off of him constantly. He is brilliant, deep, amazing, talented, wise… One 10 minute chat with him, and I'm lifted from a low valley to a very high mountain. I adore him. I also flip through flickr images. I am flickr obsessed. Starbucks coffee helps, as does browsing bookstores and boutiques.
6. How do you stay motivated?
I've wanted to cry, take a day off, eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's, throw my laptop against the wall, and hide under my blankets, but I've never wanted to quit. This goes for everything in my life. I'm a total fighter, a soldier. My mother has been telling me this since I was a young girl, and she's right – it's more and more obvious to me as I grow older. I am motivated by my own personality. Sounds weird, I know. But I have this ability to stay positive and focused. Being positive. Looking on the bright side helps me head forward. I always have a smile on my face, it's there because I'm convinced that despite my problem or worry, I am still wayyy better off than so many, and I'm very grateful for what I have. I'm happy in my own skin, with my life, and knowing when to say "time out" to refresh is the key to staying motivated. Do the best you can on your own work and support others – what "comes around, goes around" is not just something your grandmother said!
7. Do you have blogging goals (like what you want to accomplish with your site)?
Yes, many! But world domination isn't one of them. I rather use my blog to promote others, not myself. I promote my own business outside of my blog, not through it. I want to continue to be a spot where readers find a positive, interactive, inspiring place that feels supportive and stimulates their creativity. I don't care if others blog to promote their work, because that may work well for them and half of my friends do it, so I am most supportive. I just don't want my blog to be a workplace for me, that's really all it comes down to. I want it to be my freedom, a place where I can hang out and be myself.
8. What is the most important thing that you want readers to take away after reading your posts? Positive. Inspired. And that your home is the one spot on this massive planet that is uniquely yours. Make the best of it – don't neglect your space or your family or other parts of your life will start to suffer. People thrive in a home that supports them.
9. When you take a break what is your favorite indulgence?
I love to travel, even if it's just a day trip to the coast or a weekend in Montreal, and if I'm home, I love to sew, read an entire book in a day, or go out for coffee + dessert. I also love to take long walks in the forest with my camera. I really enjoy visiting animal shelters and pet stores. I do this weekly, my lifestyle doesn't allow me to own a pet yet because I'm in Germany 2-3 months each year and travel a lot on the weekends, but someday… I will have a dog and a cat, and a huge iron cage with brightly colored finches.
10. What is the key to getting comments?
I don't know, I don't ever think about that, sorry!! Maybe I should though, huh? So many people email me that I always feel like things are flowing fine. But I guess asking questions so readers can get involved? Or an open thread? In the past, these things seemed to work for me…
11. What is your favorite part of blogging, eg. Making friends, community building, getting heard etc.?
I love being a somewhat 'alternative press' option for business owners looking to promote their work. When someone writes to me with a really great product or service, and it fits my aesthetic, I write about them and then, sit back and wait. Very often they write in with lots of good news. Items selling or selling out, being contacted and featured on HGTV, in Domino, Real Simple, Hallmark, and other magazines, linked by other great blogs (which I always love because the more blogs that write about a business, the better for the business – which is great!), and some even picked up by stores because decor8 has several shop owners reading the site. I also enjoy blogging because I have a space to catalog things, as I mentioned already, and all the wonderful contacts I've made. I feel extremely grateful that I've come in contact with this whole world of talented men and women that exist out there, people I may have never met had I not created decor8. Like you Kristen! Thank you for interviewing me. 🙂
Thank you, Holly! It's been our pleasure to get to know you!

$500m fund to back renewable energy
Page Tools
Investment bank Investec and former Energy Developments boss Walter Pahor are backing a new investment vehicle that plans to invest more than $500 million in clean energy projects around the world.
The vehicle, Viridis Clean Energy Group, has already bought the Ardrossan wind farm in Scotland for $30 million and is pursuing several other projects in other continents, including Australia, to spend more than $100 million within 12 months.
Investec's power specialist, Mark Schneider, said the vehicle might also list on the stock exchange in the first quarter of next year, though no plans had been finalised.
Mr Schneider said the vehicle would invest across the available renewable energy classes and look to take advantage of mandatory requirements for renewable energy being enforced around the world.
The Australian Government recently announced it would offer $500 million for investment in clean energy research but stopped short of increasing the 2 per cent mandatory renewable energy target.
Mr Schneider said the Government's measures were commendable but "only a start".
Viridis will be managed by Melbourne's Viridis Energy Capital, which counts Mr Pahor as a director.
Mr Pahor co-founded the listed waste-to-energy project developer Energy Developments and attempted to privatise the company in 2002-03 with ABN Amro but the board rejected the proposal.
The creation of the new vehicle draws on Investec's previous work in project finance, private equity and investment banking and chief executive Geoff Levy said the bank would be providing financial support to enable the assets to be acquired.
The equity will be coming from Australian investors, even though several of the projects will be based overseas.
Mr Schneider said the type of energy projects Viridis would look to invest in included wind power, biomass, landfill gas, hydro power and geothermal power.
He said the investment vehicle did not plan to take development risk associated with constructing projects, instead looking to buy completed projects already generating attractive returns for investors.

Dubai Shares Drop to Two-Month Low as Gulf Navigation TumblesAlaa Shahine
Dubai's benchmark stock index dropped to the lowest level in two months amid speculation gains this quarter were overdone.
Emaar Properties PJSC, the developer of the world's tallest skyscraper, declined 1.7 percent, trimming its quarterly surge to 37 percent. Gulf Navigation Holding, which specializes in shipping oil and gas, plunged the most since March last year after its loss widened. The stock was the most traded on the DFM General Index, which retreated 0.9 percent to 1,829.24, the lowest close since Jan. 28. Egypt's measure fell for the first time in three days.
The drop pared the DFM's gains this quarter to 13 percent, the biggest such increase in a year and the third-strongest performance among seven Persian Gulf benchmark indexes. Seventeen stocks declined today, four gained and 10 were unchanged. Drake & Scull International lost the most since March 5 after the board of the supplier of engineering services to the construction industry recommended not paying a dividend.
The market is undergoing a "correction," said Nabil Farhat, partner at Abu Dhabi-based Al Fajer Securities. Gulf Navigation also declined after saying the shipping industry "will continue to suffer" this year, he said.
The company posted a 147.8 million dirham-loss ($40 million) in 2012 compared with 72.7 million dirhams a year earlier. EFG-Hermes Holding SAE forecast a loss of 23 million dirhams, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The shares tumbled 8.2 percent to 22.4 fils. About 28 million shares traded today, double the three-month daily average, the data show.
Emaar, which has the heaviest weighting on the index, fell to 5.12 dirhams. Drake & Scull slid 1.9 percent to 73 fils. There are 100 fils to the dirham.
Elsewhere in the region, Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index lost 0.5 percent. Oman's measure slid 1 percent and Qatar's QE Index fell 0.1 percent. Abu Dhabi's measure rose 0.3 percent, while Kuwait's index was little changed. Egypt's EGX 30 Index lost 1.6 percent.

Terry Zwigoff successfully transitions Ghost World from graphic novel to film, maintaining Daniel Clowes's singular obsession with small-town adolescent loneliness and the fear associated with adult responsibility. Enid (Thora Birch) is a woman warrior, contemptible but nonetheless sympathetic. She and her best friend Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) believe themselves to be victims to a society that champions cultural homogenization via commercialism. Thus Enid and Rebecca fight to stay sane by reacting to the world around them. Their outré taste in clothing and affinity for pranks are just some of the ways they try to make their lives more interesting. The "ghost world" in question is a nameless town inundated by mini-malls, coffee shops, movie theaters, and people desperately and hopelessly trying to get rid of yesterday's knick-knacks. Enid can't bring herself to sell a toy during a yard sale not necessarily because the potential buyer is a perceived "loser" but because it's easier to keep it than to perceive someone else reinventing the life of something she once held dear. Zwigoff, like Clowes, is concerned with that crawlspace between adolescent fear and adult actualization. Enid and Rebecca spend endless hours poking fun at the people around them, all in the hopes of adding a smidgen of self-worth to their otherwise unhappy lives. Where Clowes's original text focused squarely on Enid's tumultuous relationship with Rebecca in a post-graduation limbo, Zwigoff creates something more palpable with the film's open-ended finale, which evokes Enid's uncertainty now that she has accepted being an adult. Ghost World is a beautiful evocation of the ghostly nature of love, loss, and ultimately memory itself.

text: Mobil 1 is fine. Thinking you won't need to change your oil until 5000 miles is absurd. Any more than around 3000 is taking a chance. Yes, some of the synthetic oils used today can last sometimes up to 5000, 10000, 15000 miles. BUT, there is NO oil filter that is any sort of effective after 3500-4000. Anytime cars come in on their scheduled 5000 mile or more oil change, there is little oil left, it has the consistency of water, is blacker than dirty diesel oil, and the filters are literally falling apart. Just thought I should share that. You want black water lubricating that engine and awesome turbo of yours?

Catastrophic Oil Spill Threat to Canadian River Basin
Posted on Jun 12, 2013
By Paul Brown, Climate News Network
This piece first appeared at Climate News Network.
LONDON—The Mackenzie River Basin, a vast globally important area in Canada, is at great risk from climate change and a catastrophic oil spill from the tailing ponds of tar sands mining, according to a panel of nine Canadian, American and British scientists.
The warning came just days after the Canadian Oil Producers Association says it expects oil production from tar sands in the region to double by 2030.
A report produced after a series of hearings last year says effective governance is vital for the river basin, which is five times the size of France. Water pours into the Arctic Ocean from the 1,800 kilometre long Mackenzie River at the rate of four Olympic sized swimming pools a second.
The watershed's biodiversity and its important role in hemispheric bird migrations, stabilizing climate, and the health of the Arctic Ocean means it needs protection urgently.
Square, Site wide
Already the temperatures in the region have increased more than 2C as a result of climate change and permafrost areas are melting causing damage to roads, bridges and homes. It is also deforming the ground and changing water flows.
The report says that large quantities of methane trapped in the soil by permafrost are in danger of being released threatening to rapidly increase the rate of climate change.
Glacier cover has declined 25 percent in the last 25 years and in spring snow cover on the Canadian Rockies disappears about a month earlier. The vast area contains 45,000 productive lakes, which also need protection.
The panel, convened by the US-based Rosenburg International Forum on Water Policy, identified the exploitation of the region's mineral and fossil fuels as a major threat to its biodiversity, the Arctic and a threat to the way of life of the indigenous peoples.
Cutting the forests and the danger to river life from hydro-electric dams needs to be tightly controlled, the scientists say.
The biggest single current threat is the existing tailing ponds on the lower Athabasca River. If a breach occurred in the winter it would be "virtually impossible to clean up because it would disappear underneath the ice and run down through the whole waterway" through Lake Athabasca, the Slave River and Delta, the Great Slave Lake, the Mackenzie River and Delta and as far as the Beaufort Sea.
This would have an unprecedented effect on human societies in the North West territories.
Weak management
The report – concerned about the financial resources required to deal with a spill—includes a strong recommendation that "extractive industries be required to post a significant performance bond before site development and operations commence.
"This ensures that clean up costs and mitigation following closure of the site will be fully paid by the industry itself.
"Failure to require a significant performance bond or some similar incentive almost surely means that the legacy of despoiled environments, toxic wastes and other waste will continue unabated, and that taxpayers will be left to bear costs that are properly those of the mining industry," the report says.
Another of the panel's main findings was that the ecology, hydrology and climate of the region were all at risk and already changing as a result of planetary warming. Careful investigation was needed to try and reduce the effects and dangers. "This is essential to protect the welfare of people locally and to some extent globally," the report said.
The basin is so large it is administered by three different Canadian states and although there was a Mackenzie River Basin Transboundary Waters Master Agreement of 1997 the Board that was set up to manage it is weak. The Federal Government of Canada should take overall responsibility for the basin and the Board must be strengthened. "A reinvigorated Board will need significantly more financial support and will benefit from the advice and counsel of an independent International Science Advisory Committee," the report says.
The extractive industries and the impact of hydroelectricity schemes must be carefully controlled.

The Entrails
I saw much more than I've mentioned in this feature, including Devil May Cry 4, Lair, Hellboy, Stranglehold, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, SOCOM, Pain and PlayStation Home, but the games covered in this feature were the stars of the show, as far as I could tell in my brain-blasted state. That doesn't mean the rest weren't awesome or couldn't be the stars of another, less spectacular extravaganza, but it was hard to see anything past the brilliant, blinding light of Warhawk, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Folklore and God of War. Oh my.
So I'll leave you with this: Since the PS3's haphazard launch until a few days ago, Sony's system seemed like a bad ass gun without any bad ass bullets. Well, now it's loaded, cocked and aimed directly at the coming holiday season. Cover your ears but not your eyes, because the PS3's lineup just got even more intimidating than its price tag.

Wasp Barcode Technologies serves customers worldwide, with offices in the United States and in the United Kingdom
Expanding organization offers the latest in diagnostic healthcare services and must meet increasing asset management demands to effectively manage the healthcare delivery services it provides.
100% confidence9X FASTER equipment audits1 single-source solution
• Diagnostic Medical Group headquartered in Bakersfield, CA• 150 employees • 4 buildings & 2 remote locations
I was able to use my existing barcodes and this was an immediate time saver. The entire system was very intuitive and the handheld PDA device allows data entry at the site.- Chris Freels, Truxton Radiology Medical Group
Truxtun Radiology Medical Group (TRMG) offers the very latest in diagnostic radiology services. Founded in 1988 in Bakersfield, California, Truxtun opened its doors with only one radiologist and a total of five employees, yet today it stands as the largest radiology center in the area. Presently, with over 150 employees, four buildings on the main campus, and two remote sites, TRMG serves over 600 patients each day. The key to their success is the state of the art equipment, which allows for speedy and accurate diagnoses, as well as rapid reporting of diagnostic information, making it possible to initiate treatments sooner. In fact, adding to the long list of high quality diagnostic equipment, TRMG recently installed a new 64-slice multi-detector CT system that is unsurpassed in image quality and speed. TRMG is committed to providing not only the best diagnostic radiology services but also the best in patient care.
While the expansion and growth at TRMG enables the company to provide the very latest in diagnostic services, the increase in valuable diagnostic tools and equipment creates added asset tracking demands. Chris Freels, the IT manager, found the traditional spreadsheet method to be not only time consuming but inaccurate. "When dealing with equipment of this nature it is important to have precise data when it comes to location, but even more importantly accurate data on maintenance and repair," states Freels. The present manual tracking system allows for a huge margin of error resulting in misplaced equipment as well as the possibility of deliberate theft. Moreover, each modality, from the ultrasound units to the x-ray machines, is on a strict schedule for maintenance and repair and keeping a clipboard history on each unit is time consuming.
The objective was two-fold: find an automatic asset management system to track basic computer equipment, and more importantly, a method to inventory and monitor the high-value diagnostic equipment used to deliver care. With time being a critical element in the health care industry, the asset tracking system must offer speed without sacrificing accuracy when it comes to providing complete reports on location and maintenance history for each diagnostic unit. Freels began his search for a solution only to find many products were just too difficult to install and customize to meet the special needs of TRMG.
"Implementation was not easy and the data collection process did not allow portability nor compatibility with bar coding that already was on the equipment," stated Freels. It was not until he discovered MobileAsset that Freels realized there is an easy, cost-effective solution to asset management.
TRMG needs a ready-to use asset tracking solution to streamline IT management processes while adapting to the special needs of the healthcare provider. TRMG requires the system to be barcode friendly, portable and provide real-time information about diagnostic equipment that can potentially affect patient care.
MobileAsset allows for easy implementation and customization with the ability to track assets by location, item ID, or serial number, while also accurately recording the maintenance of units to ensure proper service. "I was able to use my existing barcodes and this was an immediate time saver. The entire system was very intuitive and the handheld PDA device allows data entry at the site," explains Freels.
As a direct result of using the MobileAsset solution, Freels reports that the company is now in a position, "where we can reduce our inventory audit time from a process that did take two or three full business day to a half-day procedure." Results like this offer immediate returns on the MobileAsset investment. As far as attacking the problem of missing, lost or inoperable equipment, the accurate data that is immediately available on each unit has addressed this issue with outstanding results reports Freels. This is another ROI because employees no longer waste time trying to locate needed equipment and more time focusing on quality patient care. Finally, the integration of the MobileAsset system could not have been easier especially since all the components came from the same provider. With MobileAsset,TRMG found a single, economical source for a complete solution to healthcare asset management.
The MobileAsset solution proves that better information leads to better healthcare.
We can reduce our inventory audit time from a process that did take two or three full business days to a half-day procedure.

The Grey Fairy Book HTML version
The Simpleton
There lived, once upon a time, a man who was as rich as he could be; but as no happiness
in this world is ever quite complete, he had an only son who was such a simpleton that he
could barely add two and two together. At last his father determined to put up with his
stupidity no longer, and giving him a purse full of gold, he sent him off to seek his
fortune in foreign lands, mindful of the adage:
Excels a fool that stays at home.
Moscione, for this was the youth's name, mounted a horse, and set out for Venice, hoping
to find a ship there that would take him to Cairo. After he had ridden for some time he
saw a man standing at the foot of a poplar tree, and said to him: 'What's your name, my
friend; where do you come from, and what can you do?'
The man replied, 'My name is Quick-as-Thought, I come from Fleet-town, and I can run
like lightning.'
'I should like to see you,' returned Moscione.
'Just wait a minute, then,' said Quick-as-Thought, 'and I will soon show you that I am
speaking the truth.'
The words were hardly out of his mouth when a young doe ran right across the field they
were standing in.
Quick-as-Thought let her run on a short distance, in order to give her a start, and then
pursued her so quickly and so lightly that you could not have tracked his footsteps if the
field had been strewn with flour. In a very few springs he had overtaken the doe, and had
so impressed Moscione with his fleetness of foot that he begged Quick-as-Thought to go
with him, promising at the same time to reward him handsomely.
Quick-as-Thought agreed to his proposal, and they continued on their journey together.
They had hardly gone a mile when they met a young man, and Moscione stopped and
asked him: 'What's your name, my friend; where do you come from, and what can you
The man thus addressed answered promptly, 'I am called Hare's-ear, I come from
Curiosity Valley, and if I lay my ear on the ground, without moving from the spot, I can
hear everything that goes on in the world, the plots and intrigues of court and cottage, and
all the plans of mice and men.'

According to an Iron Mountain Daily News story, McCoy first encountered the country's "orphan crisis" when he was on a surfing and camping trip through Africa in 2010. The sight of children in torn clothes wandering the streets and begging for money motivated the Florence, Wis. native to take action.

I recently returned from an amazing Hawaiian vacation (and I'm a little sunburned) so I have hats on the brain...and what goes better with a hat than a sweet bag? Pairing hats and bags is classic and fun—they don't have to match completely (it's usually better if they don't) but coordinating them is a perfect way to accessorize.
This turquoise floppy hat is a colorful addition to your wardrobe and goes well with neutrals like taupe and white. It keeps the sun off beautifully, too. It's lightweight, and ties on to specifically fit your head.
You can trim your hats with scarves, as seen in this sweet brown hat. It comes with a chic animal print scarf tied around it, but you can always add your own scarf to any hat.
As for bags, these big straw bags are great for the beach or any warm weather getaway. Towels, sunscreen, sandals and a change of clothing can all go into this big bag. You can't go wrong with a carry-all like this.
Beachwear 2011 for the win!

Another Front Sight Review
Some background...
I am very new to shooting handguns. I have shot rifles in the past but do not consider myself proficient by any degree. I wanted to attend a class that would show me some basics in safety, technique, marksmanship without being too intense or advanced beyond my capabilities. I read as many reviews of schools around the country that I could. Several items sold me on Front Sight.
1) They had a class that was coming up and I did not have to take many days off of work.
2) I was able to obtain a $200 certificate from www.fscerts.com. This saved me $1,000 off the regular price of the class.
3) Reviews of Front Sight seemed to indicate that they could educate someone new to shooting handguns like myself.
I packed up my Baer Concept 1 and my Springfield (they recommend bringing a backup weapon), my range gear and some clothes and made the 7 hour drive out to Pahrump, Nevada. First things first, Pahrump is not the most glamorous place on this planet. The SaddleWest hotel room was comfortable and reasonably priced, but the restaurant was best substituted with McDonalds take out. The one benefit was that SaddleWest would provide you with a sack lunch to take with you each day ($9 per lunch...). I was told by other Front Sight students that staying in Las Vegas (Silverton Hotel) was a more comfortable and culinarily superior to Pahrump. Silverton Hotel is about an extra hours drive each day, which after a long day on the range makes me think twice about driving more than I have to.
First Day at Front Sight...
You arrive at Front Sight (literally out in the middle of nowhere) and an instructor meets your car at the gate with a smile and a friendly wave. He instructs you where to park and points to the sign-in table that you need to go to. After signing in and getting a range assignment (and the proverbial "hi my name is..." taped to your shirt), an instructor tells you to get your weapons, ammunition and gear and take it to weapons inspection. If there are other classes going on that weekend, you will see all manner of weapons that students are bringing in for inspection. The instructor inspecting my Baer noticed that the magazine was not falling free and said I would have problems in the class. This surprised me because the magazine/weapon had worked perfectly the day before. By the way, Front Sight will rent you guns if you do not have any to bring. The instructors stress very strongly to drink plenty of fluids on and off the range. It was cool while I was there, but there were a few people feeling the effects of the dry air and having to sit out a few range sessions. Take advantage of the water they provide and drink often!!
From Weapons inspection you are then told to go to the one and only classroom. There is about a one hour presentation/orientation where they have you sign liability releases and Dr. Ignatius Piazza does a presentation (he indicated that there is a reality television series set to air sometime this year based on Front Sight and students that attend). Then you are released to the range around 9:00am.
The only other times you will return to the classroom for the next four days are to eat lunch (during lunch they invite you to watch the optional videos on the memberships they have for sale), and to attend 5 ninety minute lectures on issues concerning the use of deadly force, mental awareness, criminal and civil liabilities with deadly force, tactical rifle and shotgun, and stopping power.
While at the range, they do indeed start the students off slow. They teach the students how to hold their weapon, safety, sight picture, trigger press, and recovery techniques from failure to fire. Each new skill is built on the last skill learned. By lunch time on the first day, a student my have fired only one or two magazines worth of ammunition...by the last day, the student is firing 400 rounds of ammunition a day. I learned very quickly the value of having a dehorned weapon as my sharp-edged target sights took several bites out of my hands. By the way, there were no revolvers in my class, nor did I see any in the other class.
When I was at Front Sight, there were approximately 70 people taking the handgun class. They divided the seventy in to two groups (each group had their own gun range). Each group was divided again into two relays of approximately 15 students. If you were not shooting, you were reloading mag's (I recommend a belt-magazine holder that can accommodate three magazines) and watching the other relay shoot, and learn from them. There are approximately 4 students for every instructor on the relay team. The instructors will often show how to perform a specific lesson themselves and shoot their handguns in demonstrations. They are professsional, courteous and patient. It really seems to be their mission to make you a better shooter, no matter what your skill level was ehen you arrived. Classes run from 8:00am until 7:00pm-ish...a long LONG day. One of the days they will teach you how to shoot with a flashlight at night, so that day ends about 8:30pm.
Each student will learn to draw from a concealed holster and fire two shots at the thoracic cavity (chest) of a target in just a little over one second from 3 meters out to 25 meters. There are also single "head-shots" taught if the two thoracic cavity shots do not stop an attacker. Being so new, I thought it would be impossible to accomplish this rapid draw and fire, but I managed it easily and was having alot of fun learning each new skill. Students will learn how to clear rooms, doorways and hallways of bad guys. There are also tactical simulators that teach these techniques with pictures of bad guys springing out at you and you have to make the decision whether to shoot or not.
There was a man-on-man competition that everyone enjoyed. It put student against student in speed and accuracy shoot-offs. The last day, Front Sight conducts a "skills test" where no one fails, it just assesses your abilities and what you have learned over the four days.
Ultimately my primary weapon did break. The trigger/sear leaf spring broke in two pieces and that is what was causing the magazine to seize in the weapon, and eventually the trigger would not reset after firing. I swapped it out with my backup gun's spring late in the evening and everything worked out fine. I had a great time at Front Sight and will definitely return for more classes (I hear a shotgun calling my name because the shotgun class looks like fun!)
So, all in all I believe my class was a great value ($200 for the certificate, $300 for the hotel, $200 for ammunition, and 14 hours worth of drive time and gas...I will probably fly next time). I learned a tremendous amount that I believe will stay with me for a long time. Since I have not attended any other firearm schools, I did not want this to be an endorsement of one school over another, it is just my review from a newbie shooters perspective.
Very Helpful Review
Thanks very much for posting this detailed review of your experience. I'm planning to go in March or April, and this was very helpful.
Thanks for the review.

Fahassi, a reporter for the state-run radio station Alger Chaîne III and a contributor to several Algerian newspapers, including the now-banned weekly of the Islamic Salvation Front, Al-Forqane, was abducted near his home in the al-Harrache suburb of the capital, Algiers, by four well-dressed men carrying walkie-talkies. According to eyewitnesses who later spoke with his wife, the men called out Fahassi's name and then pushed him into a waiting car. He has not been seen since, and Algerian authorities have denied any knowledge of his arrest.

The forces of democracy have pushed Islamic militants from their positions in southern Mali and saved the population from life under bearded men who insist men wear beards and women know their place in life. However, the arrival of the Mali army, among the most inept, violent and cruel national armed forces, has made some people wonder whether life under the bearded nuts was any worse. Reporters witnessed an elderly man, Aldjourmati Traore, beaten by members of the Mali army because he was wearing a beard and since everyone knows, those who wear beards are members of Islamic groups.
Mali soldiers warned the media not to take pictures of them beating the hell out of an old man who wears a beard. Unless Mali soldiers, quickly cease their bullying tactics, Islamic forces will gain a foothold in these villages. Democracy means all can or cannot decide to shave!

i need the experienced folks to chime in on this one. Brian, Michael, i would value your opinions on this.what problems could occur if honey from cutouts were fed back to my bees?i am aware of the dangers of fermented honey, and of hives that have been sprayed, and of hives that appear to have disease.
my question assumes that these types of honey would be excluded from feeding to my bees.i also would only do this a good distance from my hives to prevent robbing.i have been doing this for a while but want to get opinions on the possible dangers if any.thanks.bailey

Sometimes I see folks discuss gaiters as if they were a truly indispensable piece of equipment. I've never used them myself because, honestly, I've never seen the need. While I am not one of those people inclined to carry any item "just because," it occurs to me that I might not "know what I'm missing."
So, I invite the community to convince me why I simply can't live without that which I have, heretofore, lived without. :)May 16, 2011 at 10:23 am #1737194

I'm looking to try gaiters to keep the thorns, stickers, and fox-tails out of my socks. It's as if socks are magnets to those things, and most times I go for a walk in the desert, within the first 5 mins, I'm taking my shoes off to pick those d*mn things out… They can make life miserable.

I live in Southern California and have the same issues as you seem to have with the fox tails. I picked up a pair of Simblissity Gaiters and they work great for keep the fox tails/stickers out of my socks for the most part. However another reason I like them is I don't have to constantly keep retying my shoes from coming undone which was happening all to frequently. The only time I had sand get in my shoes was when I was creek crossing which lifted up the gaiters. Hope this helpsMay 16, 2011 at 10:47 am #1737212

Gaiters keep gunk from getting into your shoes (dirt, rocks, sticks, snow, what have you). They are especially good in snow, which can have a chilling effect as it goes down into your footwear.
They keep mosquitoes from biting through your socks. My first trip in trail runners (after switching from boots), I forgot this little issue (the gaiters were in my pack!) and got many bites around my ankles! Driving 900 miles home with constantly itching ankles was, to say the least, interesting!
They keep your pants dry when going through tall grass wet with dew or rain.
If you're wearing shorts, gaiters protect your lower legs from stinging nettles, poison oak, thorns and other interesting flora that can be found at the edge of (or even in) the trail.
In spring gaiters keep ticks from crawling up your legs inside your pants. You can achieve the same effect by tucking your pants into your socks, but it's a lot harder to keep them there.
Gaiters aren't essential, just handy. Get a cheap pair of low gaiters and try them out. If you decide you don't like them after trying them, no big deal.May 16, 2011 at 11:00 am #1737216

> Until I got poison ivy all over my ankles.
Poison ivy and thorns seem like good reasons to wear gaiters, if you like to wear shorts. After an experience with some stinging nettles while on a photo shoot, that left my ankles itching and burning for a couple of days, I switched to wearing long hiking pants while trekking. Gaiters would work also though. I should get some lighter ones. :)May 16, 2011 at 11:29 am #1737234

Agree with Mary D. about 3 season use.
In winter, knee length WB gaiters allow you to use very breathable softshell/nylon pants and still maintain snow protection for the legs.
Further, when using crampons with frontpoints, the slim leg profile that gaiters allow (some pants do as well, but IME those rarely cover my boots sufficiently) make it less likely that you will put a front point through the shin area of your pants (did this again last winter when I put shell pants OVER my gaiters during an alpine climb).May 16, 2011 at 12:14 pm #1737262

I use gaiters all the time.
Keep gravel and stuff out of shoes. Keep water off shoes and socks.
The only thing bad, is the rule that an ounce on your feet is as bad as 5 ounces on your back (or whatever the multiplier is). So you want light weight gaiters.
I make my own but I'm thinking of making some with the lightest weight materials.May 16, 2011 at 7:43 pm #1737455

I've never worn a pair of gaiters, but I can certainly see the appeal in snowy conditions.
For me, I try to keep things simple in the outdoors. Besides the weight, Gaiters are two more items to keep track of and spend time putting on and off. Perhaps in some locals the amount of debris getting in hikers shoes necessitates gaiters, but I've never come across such conditions in my area. If I have to dump out a pebble or two per day, I'd rather do that then deal with gaiters. I am open to using them in the winter since snow is not something you can just dump out at your leisure. I would also consider them in extremely sandy conditions.May 16, 2011 at 7:53 pm #1737460

I've never worn gaiters, but after two days of hiking in rain through tall grass and sometimes dense brush, I wish I had some last weekend. My pants were soaked from mid-calf down all weekend, and the unusually cold temps (for Missouri) made for a very uncomfortable weekend.May 16, 2011 at 9:17 pm #1737483

I wear them all the time, even on "conditioning" hikes on a well-groomed trail. They keep all the gunk out of my shoes. Cuts down on blisters, eliminates having to stop and pour things out of the shoes and, best of all, makes the shoes last a lot longer. I don't like having stuff on my legs if I can help it, so I use the excellent Dirty Girl Gaiters ($17 including shipping from dirtygirlgaiters.com). They're not waterproof and not tough enough for serious off-trail stuff, but they're low, light, cool, and effective on trails. I get lots of comments about them, too. :-)May 17, 2011 at 5:52 am #1737560

Yes you can live without them. I have up to this point. But I will be using Dirty Girl Gaiters on my next hike.
I use low quarter shoes and socks for hiking. On my last hike one little piece of trail debris got into my shoe. I am now convinced. I'll be using the Dirty girl Gaiters to keep the dirt and tiny rocks out of my shoes.

A lot of people use them. A lot of people don't use them. I am on the side that uses them. I like that they keep trail debris out of my shoes and they help to keep my socks clean. I don't find that they make my feet any hotter then if I didn't use them. I prefer OR shortie gaiters for most conditions. I use OR Verglas in the winter paired with my Patagonia baggie shorts.May 17, 2011 at 7:39 am #1737595
David UreMember
Gaiters are invaluable hiking in mud, snow, scree, or sand. Considering I will see one of these on every trip, I would be more interested in seeing the 'non' merits of gaiters. In my opinion, there aren't any. Especially given the nominal weight of some shorties (i.e. Dirty Girls at less than an oz).May 17, 2011 at 7:40 am #1737596

@aaronmbLocale: Central Valley California
I will reiterate the above pro-gaiter posts.
I wear convertible pants as I like to hike in shorts when the weather allows; plenty of trails get narrow and I like the gaiters for the vegetation, as well as helping to keep out rocks and debris from inside the shoes (especially now that I'm wearing low cut trail runners).
A few weeks ago I was in Sequoia. The 12 miles was easy, but not on the legs of my fellow hikers that plowed through the overgrown trail brush without the gaiters. They didn't mind the bleeding scratches (they weren't gushing by any means, but they did need a little attention).
I picked up a pair of Mountain Hardware gaiters here from Gear Swap–cheap–that go up to about me knee. They open along their length so I don't have to take off shoes to put them on or remove them and, they're tough as nails. Overall, an investment I am quite happy with.May 17, 2011 at 10:04 am #1737657

I agree with most of what has been said. I wore them on my last long hike 1200 miles and they do help keep stuff out of your shoes. I've not wore them in the last 5-6 years on short hikes (<4-5 days) but only because I misplaced one. If I were in the snow for any amount of time I'd go out and buy a pair. For most hiking they fall under the luxury category. I don't consider them as important as trekking poles which I won't go without but if I have them, I'll wear them.
Oh… there are a couple types. The short scree gaiters are the ones you wear for general hiking. The full calf length ones for snow. I'd never wear the bigger ones for general hiking but those Girly gaiters look like a good solution.

UAB - Houston Game 2 box score in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --- The UAB softball team swept Houston in a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at George Ward Park. The Blazers defeated the Cougars, 6-4, in game one and run-ruled UH in game two, 8-0, in six innings. UAB snaps a nine-game losing streak to the Cougars and improves to 29-18 overall and 13-7 in the conference. Houston drops to 35-20 this year and 12-8 in C-USA.
"We played really well today and I'm very proud of the girls," said UAB head coach Marla Townsend. "We manufactured runs and Kayla (Harris) had her best outing of the year. We are playing well at the right time. We need to come out tomorrow and play with the same intensity."
A five-run third inning sealed the victory for the Blazers in game one. UAB jumped on the Cougars pitching, batting around and collecting five hits. Junior Nicole Whitlock highlighted the inning with a two RBI double down the left field line.
The Cougars plated two runs in the fourth inning to cut into the Blazer lead. In the frame, UAB walked in a run and allowed a runner to score on a fielder's choice. Houston ended up scoring one in the fifth and sixth innings but it wasn't enough to overcome UAB.
The Blazers final run of the game came in the fifth inning after sophomore Amanda Antonovich walked with bases loaded scoring freshman Andrea Rogers.
UAB out-hit the Cougars in the game, 8-7, but only had five players' record hits. Whitlock led the way going 2-for-3 with two RBI and senior Chelsea McCall went 2-for-4 with a run and a RBI.
Sophomore Jennifer Nelson was the winning pitcher for the Blazers and improved to 14-7 overall. Nelson pitched her 15th complete game of the year and struck out four batters.
The Blazers dominated game two from the very beginning and never let up run-ruling the Cougars in six innings, 8-0. UAB opened the first inning with three consecutive singles and a hit-by-pitch to push across three runs.
Freshman Kayla Harris (10-5) pitched a phenomenal game for the Blazers. Harris was in control from the very beginning and never allowed a UH player to reach second base. The Whitby, Ontario native threw a complete game two-hit shutout against the Cougars. She went six innings striking out four and only walking one.
UAB added a run in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 5-0 lead. It wasn't until the sixth inning that the Blazers reached the run-rule limit. In the sixth inning, sophomore Leigh Walker led off with a doubled to right field. Antonovich singled and advanced to second on the throw home to keep Walker at third.
Harris followed with an RBI bunt single that scored Walker. Freshman Jacy Leon hit a sacrifice fly to plate a run and Harris scored the game-ending run a single up the middle by McCall.
UAB and UH will conclude the three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m. at George Ward Park. Sunday will also be Senior Day for the Blazers with the ceremonies taking place before the game. For complete coverage of UAB athletics visit www.uabsports.com.

2010 Movers and Fallers: AFC North
2010 Movers and Fallers: AFC North
(Editor's note: second in an eight-part series on each team's trending players from 2010).
The AFC North is known for its linebackers (among other things), and several LBs had breakout years in 2010 — including some guys that didn't get a whole lot of notice, like James Farrior, Chris Gocong and Marcus Benard. It was the defensive side of the ball that really seemed to get better in the division, but the same definitely couldn't be said of the offenses.
Two of the biggest offensive names in the division saw their fortunes take a definite dip for the worse, one of whom has his own TV show, the other whose life was the basis of a movie.
Read on with our look at the biggest upwards and downwards trenders from the North.
Moving On Up: S Dawan Landry (-7.9 to +10.9)
In 2009, Landry got better as the season went on, but still had a substandard year. In 2010 he wasn't always consistent in coverage, but he became a force in the Raven run defense and contributed to it being one of the best in the league. He went from 17 stops to 35 while playing fewer snaps in 2010, looking well and truly back from the injury that ruined his 2008 season.
Had a Bad Year: RT Michael Oher (+11.6 to -18.9)
The switch from right side to the left hasn't gone well. Oher didn't look good in two of the five games he played left tackle last year, and this year he continued that trend. In 2009 Oher was excellent with his run blocking and more than competent as a pass block, but everything kind of went wrong on the left side. He suffered a knee injury late in the season, and that definitely seemed to affect his play negatively. He wasn't terrible in 2010, but has some work to do in rebuilding the rep he created as a rookie.
Give This Guy More Snaps: DT Brandon McKinney (+5.6 in 232 snaps)
Although the Ravens' defensive line is already fairly crowded, McKinney made a case for himself to be more involved. He got a chance to start a few games in the middle of the season and saw increased playing time during the Ravens playoff games, and showed glimpses of being a good player especially at stopping the run. With Redding and Gregg playing inconsistently this season, McKinney may see his opportunity arise next year. The last thing the rest of the AFC North needs is another dominant run stopper on the Ravens roster.
Moving On Up: DT Pat Sims (-8.0 to +1.1)
In 2009 the Bengals had a strong defense but a weak defensive line — which included Sims. The defensive line saw some improvement in our grades this year, none more than Sims. A lot of his increase in production came from rushing the passer, where he went from getting pressure on 4.6% of his pass rushes to 7.5%.
Had a Bad Year: WR Chad Ochocinco (+8.8 to -2.9)
Not only did we see a less entertaining Ochocinco on the field in 2010, but also a less productive one. He had more drops, caught fewer touchdowns, and had fewer yards per catch this year compared to last. He also was one of the worst receivers at blocking this year. We expected fireworks out of "Batman and Robin," but got inconsistency and a lot of losses.
Give This Guy More Snaps: HB Bernard Scott (+4.0 rushing rating in 181 snaps)
In his second year in the league, Scott was a clear No. 2 behind Cedric Benson but made a case to be No. 1. He had a very nice 4.9 yards per carry along with forcing six missed tackles, and no fumbles. Cedric Benson only averaged 3.5 yards per carry and graded -1.8 in the run game, and has gotten 300+ carries two years running. If Scott can show improvement as an all-around back, it might be time to lighten his load and use both backs.
Moving On Up: ILB Chris Gocong (-1.7 to +18.5)
The transition from a 4-3 OLB to a 3-4 ILB isn't always the easiest one, but Gocong pulled it off. After being a little below average in everything in his last year with the Eagles, he became a dominant force on the Browns defense as a run stopper. He was able to get pressure on 14% of his pass rushes, and was strong in terms of pass defense as he only allowed 21 catches all year.
Had a Bad Year: RT John St. Clair (+2.9 to -9.4)
St. Clair started the entire season at right tackle in 2009 with mixed results. In 2010 St. Clair missed part of the season due to an ankle injury, but he didn't look good before and after the injury occurred. He saw his pass blocking decline, and had more penalties in 2010 despite playing in fewer games. Due to his slump and large salary, he was released by the Browns this week.
Give This Guy More Snaps: OLB Marcus Benard (+8.5 in 355 snaps)
Benard really thrived in 2010, and was quietly one of the league's most productive pass rushers. He had 34 combined pressures in just 255 snaps, a rate of 1 in 7.5 rushes — almost identical to Clay Matthews' ratio of one per 7.53 rushes. Benard could be next year's Cameron Wake if the Browns decide to play him full time.
Moving On Up: ILB James Farrior (+3.6 to +30.3)
Farrior quietly had one of the most dramatic improvements of any player this year, not exactly what you'd expect from a veteran. In 2009 he had four games with a run stop rating above one, and three with a rating below one. In 2010 his good games went up to seven, and his poor ones went down to one. He went from getting pressure on 12% of his blitzes to 14%. He also lowered both the completion percentage of opposing quarterbacks who threw at him, as well as the receivers' yards per catch.
Had a Bad Year: LG Chris Kemoeatu (+2.0 to -25.7)
When Willie Colon went down for the season with injury, Kemoeatu was expected to be one of the better offensive linemen for the Steelers. Instead he allowed 28 combined pressures, which is very high for a guard. He led all guards with 14 penalties, and had a -9.8 run block rating. The Steelers made it to the Super Bowl in spite of their offensive line, and Kemoeatu's struggles continued in the biggest game of the year.
Give This Guy More Snaps: RB Isaac Redman (+5.5 in 215 snaps)
In his first year on the active roster after being undrafted, Redman saw a handful of snaps each game and looked impressive with the handoffs he was given. He had 4.9 yards per run, with 3.4 of those coming after contact and forced 11 missed tackles. Those are good numbers and with more snaps the Steelers could very well have a nice one-two punch running the ball in 2011.

Two million Britons aged 60 and over are getting free bus passes and winter fuel allowance at the expense of taxpayers, despite being millionaires, a landmark study revealed today.
The report by the Intergenerational Foundation comes amid signs that David Cameron is unlikely to repeat his 2010 pledge to protect wealthy
pensioner "perks" at the next general election in 2015.
It found there were many more older millionaires in Britain than previously assumed — and that the number of retired people with independent wealth was rising rapidly.
There are now about 988,000 over-65s living in households with assets of more than £1 million. If widened to include the 60-65 age group, which includes many people who retired from public sector jobs at 60, the number rises to almost two million.
One in 10 of the over-sixties is a millionaire, once assets such as the family home are taken into account, the study claims.
"This casts doubt on government claims that there are very few pensioner millionaires and that universal benefits for older people should be protected," said IF researcher Jeremy Leach.
At the 2010 election campaign, Mr Cameron vowed to protect pensioner perks, including free bus passes, for the whole of this parliament. However, a debate is raging in the Government over whether this can continue.
Deputy Premier Nick Clegg has argued that it is wrong to spend an estimated £500 million on winter fuel allowance for wealthier pensioners when poorer groups are getting less.
Letters have just gone out to a million middle class parents to tell them their child benefit entitlement is being cut.
A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Cameron will not break his work in the current parliament but no decision has been taken on the next manifesto.
A Tory strategist told The Times: "Cameron knows ... he needs to leave his options open."

Live Golf: The Open Championship
9am, BBC2
The oldest of golf's majors tees off at Muirfield, with over £5m in prize money at stake, and competitors looking to wrest the title from 2012 champion Ernie Els. The choice of Muirfeld has been controversial, due to the club's shameful refusal to allow female members. That backwards-looking mentality contrasts with the inherent open-ness of the championship itself, which offers the chance for amateurs such as Devon's Jimmy Mullen to play alongside the bigger names.

Live coverage of the first day of the second Test from Lord's. Until very recently, Australia regarded this not only as practically a home fixture, but a home banker: between 1934 and 2009, England did not manage to beat Australia at Lord's once. England's ending of this run was the clearest indicator of the reversal of fortunes recently undergone by these ancient rivals, but hell harbours few furies like an unfancied Australian team facing England at the headquarters of English cricket.
