We've got Barry!
Bill (STL)
Is there a game 7 in the Blues future?
Barry Melrose (2:02 PM)
I would not be surprised if it goes seven. That win in LA changes that series dramatically. LA has played well the last two games and taken the series over from St. Louis. I would say LA wins in six, but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes seven.
Shawn (Mi)
Is MAF done in Pittsburgh? Will they buy him out at the end of the year?
Barry Melrose (2:03 PM)
First off, they're not worried about the summer. They're worried about now and now Vokun does. If they lose out, they've got some tough decisions to make. About Fleury. About their team. That's two years in a row that he's struggled in the playoffs. He'll be a big problem this summer with what to do with him.
jon (new orleans)
what's your pulse of the pens locker room after the switch in goal?
Barry Melrose (2:03 PM)
I think positive. If you watch body language during the game after some of those goals went in, you could tell some of those players were upset. I think the dressing room will be positive. They realized something had to be done.
Chris (Atlanta)
It seems to me that Vancouver's championship window is closed after two straight 1st-round sweeps. Are they now in the position the Flames were in a few years ago, where they should start considering trading away players like the Sedins, Kesler, etc. for younger assets?
Barry Melrose (2:05 PM)
Don't forget most of those players have no-trades. Just saying you want to move them and beign able to are two different things. They're still a very good regular season club. They have to get their goaltender situation taken care of. They have to figure out Luongo. I don't think they need to blow things up. It's not ready for the scrap heap. They're still a top four team every year in the West. But the first thing that has to happen is Luongo has to be moved.
Sarah (Chicago)
Hi Barry,Will the Hawks finish the series tonight? Assuming they move on...who would be tougher SJ or Det?
Barry Melrose (2:05 PM)
I would say they do finish it up tonight. I like the way they played last night. It was their best game.
Barry Melrose (2:06 PM)
I think San Jose is the scarier club. But if Detroit gets past the Ducks, that means they're pretty good. But San Jose with that rest would be a little tougher.
Ice Ace (Alabama)
Do you believe the Canadiens are finished after losing a 2 goal lead with 8 minutes to go in Game 4?
Barry Melrose (2:07 PM)
Yeah, I think that was their chance to make it a 2-2 series. Now you've got the Price situation, can he play? When you get a chance in the playoffs, you have to take it. Ottawa had nothing going in that game. I think Montreal will be done.
Matt (VA)
The Caps looked shaky yestersday. I thought they were they better team the first three games. Who do you like tommorow?
Barry Melrose (2:08 PM)
I definitely agree. That was their worst game by far. I thought they were very lucky when it was 2-2. Ovechkin's worst game by far. I still think they win the series in six games. They'll wake up and realize they missed an opportunity.
Phil (Dallas)
Watching this young Islanders team has gotten me excited for future seasons. But is this the start of something great, ala Chicago and Pitt a few years ago. Or is this just a flash in the pan
Barry Melrose (2:09 PM)
That's a good question. I think a lot depends on ownership. Do you keep these kids when their first contracts are done? That will be interesting to see. You have to add good free agents to make the team better. More of this team depends on the ownership part than the hockey part. They need to step up and make it a good team every year.
paul w (grand rapids)
can the wings recover and send it back to Anaheim?
Barry Melrose (2:10 PM)
Sure. They've already won a game in Detroit. That's a positive for them. They played great last night. Three games have gone into OT. You know with their veteran leadership that Game 6 will be their best of the series.
casey (Salt Lake City)
If Crosby had missed the first 12 games of the season rather than the final 12, does it make a difference on whether or not he gets the MVP? Should it make a difference?
Barry Melrose (2:10 PM)
Yeah, that would make a difference. Games at the end are more important with playoff implications. Games at the beginning are forgotten. That's a good point. If he missed the first 12 rather than the last, he'd probably be crowned MVP.
Brandon (Staples Center)
Is the potential for an all SoCal Western Conference Semis matchup good for the NHL? Also, who do you see coming out of that possible series?
Barry Melrose (2:11 PM)
Sure. It's a major market. Good teams. Star power. Well known players. That would be great for the NHL. It's never happened before. I think the NHL would love to see Ducks-Kings.
James (St. Pete, FL)
Are the Islanders this good? Or are the Penguins giving the games away?
Barry Melrose (2:12 PM)
I think it's a little bit of both. Pittsburgh hasn't had good goaltending other than Game 1. It's hard to say if the Islanders have been that good. But 5 on 5, the Islanders have been a better team. Let's see if Vokun can come in and play solid and Pittsburgh can't talk about the goaltending.
Adam (Chicago)
Is the lack of scoring from the Hawks first line a cause for concern going forward? Or is it sort of a good thing as you know Toews isn't going to be held scoreless forever?
Barry Melrose (2:13 PM)
Yeah, I'm not worried about Toews. You'll see him be fine. I'm not worried about Kane, Sharp. You know they'll be there at the end. It just shows you how well balanced they are, how dangerous they are.
Brad (Edmonton)
Are the Leafs pretty much done? Do you expect them to make it all the way back versus the Bruins?
Barry Melrose (2:14 PM)
The Bruins are playing well. Toronto had a 2-0 lead and couldn't hold it. But they'll be good game time. It's hard finishing a team off. I think Toronto will be tough in Game 5.
Devin (PA)
What do you make of the coaching circus going on inthe Ottowa-Montreal series?
Barry Melrose (2:15 PM)
It's fun. Interesting. It's good TV. You have two teams that don't like each other. The coaches don't like each other. It's been a very interesting series. Entertaining.
Jeff (Sacramento)
On the one hand, I'm glad the Sharks swept into the 2nd round, but, on the other, I wonder if instills a false confidence that SJ doesn't need to make any significant changes to stay competitive. Do you think their window is still fairly open?
Barry Melrose (2:16 PM)
Very much so. They're a young team now. Even Thornton and Marleau are still in their prime. They've got some young defensemen. No team has blown more playoffs than the Sharks, so they have nothing to be overconfident about. They'll be ready in the next round, just like they were in the first round.
Ice Ace (Alabama)
How about Getzlaf? He has been great. If most people do not know him already, they need to get ready.
Barry Melrose (2:17 PM)
Getzlaf is a great player. He's already won a Cup. He's big, strong, mean. He skates. He shoots. He's a leader. If Ryan Getzlaf is in New York or Chicago, he's one of the most famous players in the NHL, no doubt about that.
Devin (PA)
Are the Rangers struggles scoring this year a byproduct of the players or the system that Torts has put into place?
Barry Melrose (2:18 PM)
Probably a combination of both. He's a defense first coach and when the Rangers play like that, you're not going to score as much as a team that plays more wide open. John has had to improvise a lot. They have Lundqvist in net and they know they don't need a lot of goals to win.
James (St. Pete, FL)
Do you think the goalie change will spark the Pens Defense to step up tonight?
Barry Melrose (2:19 PM)
Vokun has to play well. If he comes in and plays well, he'll give confidence to everyone. It's hard to play well in front of a guy who's giving up goals.
Mike (DC)
Whose taking the Caps-Rangers series? Both goalies have been impressive.
Barry Melrose (2:20 PM)
I said from the start the Caps win. The Rangers power play is going well right now. I still think the Caps win this series.
Matt (Houston)
Barry, all that could go wrong with the Wild, seems to have so far. If Backstrom hadn't got hurt, do you think that would've changed the outcome of game 4? Would we be looking at 2-2 instead of 3-1?
Barry Melrose (2:21 PM)
Yeah, maybe. But the other guys played well. They gave up a soft goal in Game 4 which hurt. But they weren't playing well going into the playoffs. But injuries are a part of the game too.
Eric (Pacifica)
Who are your top 3 MVP candidates of the playoffs so far?
Barry Melrose (2:22 PM)
Ooohhh. You have to go with David Krejci of Boston. Craig Anderson. Ryan Getzlaf.
Jason (NJ)
Why have the Canadians been such a dissapontment this playoffs?
Barry Melrose (2:23 PM)
I don't think they've been a disappointment. They're playing a good hockey team. They've overcome a lot of obstacles, which means they have a lot of character. Montreal was one of the top 3-4 teams in the East, but they didn't play well down the stretch.
Ed (Queens Village)
If Pens lose 1st Round? Would Coach Bylsma be on hot seat or fired for third straight 1st round loss.
Barry Melrose (2:24 PM)
No. I don't think so. The regular season success they've had is pretty awesome. I think Dan's OK. I don't think he's on the hot seat.
Frank (Chi)
Still picking the Penguins to beat the Hawks for the cup?
Barry Melrose (2:25 PM)
Yeah, so far, but it's not quite as strong a pick as the start of the playoffs. Chicago's OK, but Pittsburgh's been dicey.
Nick (Chicago)
If Montreal and Pittsburg are both eliminated who becomes the favorite in the East?
Barry Melrose (2:26 PM)
I think you have to look at Boston and the way they're playing. At times they look very good. They're getting their checking down. Their defense down. You have to look at them as the best in the East at that point.
Ken (PSU)
I'm not advocating for this to occur, but given the parameters surrounding both players, what are your thoughts about a Fluery/Luongo swap?
Barry Melrose (2:27 PM)
I think Luongo makes too much money. I don't think Pittsburgh wants to take on a 10-year deal. And frankly, he hasn't played well. I don't think Pittsburgh wants him. He'll be tough to move.
Ross (Vegas)
Barry: Who ends up beong the best defenseman long term for the kings: Voynov or Doughty?
Barry Melrose (2:27 PM)
I think Doughty. I think he does more things. He's more of a complete player. Voynov's been great. But Doughty plays a lot of minutes. I think he has more upside.
Henry (Los Angeles)
Same question as Nick, but in the West: if the Blackhawks go down (not likely this round, but maybe next) then who do you like?
Barry Melrose (2:28 PM)
I think a lot depends on LA. If LA beats St. Louis, then you have to look at them pretty seriously. If the Ducks win, they've looked good. There are a number of very good teams out west. But I think you start with LA.
Barry Melrose (2:29 PM)
We've got some great games tonight. I'll be focusing on the Pittsburgh-Islanders game to see how Vokun is doing.

Signature doesnt show?
Ive saved a picture to my signature but it doesnt show on my posts... any help?
Could be post count related or the pic might be too big...
and.... why don't sigs show on older post? In other words, I made up a sig and it will show on new posts that I make but not on older post in other threads?
Upon first joining the forums, I was asked to remove my signature.. the reasoning behind this was that I posted a link to my blog page.. and the Admin asked that if I wanted to keep that signature up.. I would have to pay for the space.. Thus I removed the signature and created the one you see now.. However I have also noticed that no one else has an image/icon within their signatures.. perhaps this is a no picture zone and all pics are removed. Best contact an admin..
I think having a pic in your signature is either a paying member perk, or you need permission from an admin.
Personally I don't like them because they typically don't have anything to do with the post and just makes the next typically on topic post that much farther down the page.
And for people with slower internet connections or bandwith limitations, that is just more data to waste.

Guarding health profits
Franchising is ready to take off in pharmacy retail with brands like Guardian Lifecare having taken franchise route for expansion. In an interview Ashutosh Garg, Chairman and MD, Guardian Lifecare shares his company's aspirations from franchising.
Abha Garyali (AG): Shed some light on the inception, growth and success of 'Guardian Lifecare' as a pharmacy brand.
Ashutosh Garg (AG): Guardian Lifecare is India's fastest growing chain of health, wellness and beauty stores with over 250 stores across India and is adding two new stores every week. Built on a strong platform of reliability and service to the consumer, the company has presence in 20 cities and is expanding across India. It is an ISO 9001:2008 certified pharmacy chain since 2005. The Guardian mission is to offer its customers the best and most reliable pharmacy in India and build a modern healthcare retail organisation upon honesty, trust and commitment using contemporary technology. Positioned as a friendly neighbourhood pharmacy Guardian serves 7.5 million customers each year.
AG: When and what motivated you to take the franchise route for expansion of Guardian Lifecare?
AG: Guardian started franchising in December 2010. We embarked upon franchising as a means to expand the coverage of our brand into a larger geography.
AG: The concept of franchising a pharmacy retail chain is comparatively new and unique concept. Do you think there is tremendous scope for aspirants in this business? What can you say about its future success in the country?
AG: Franchising in the pharmacy space is new and untested. However, given the robustness of this format and large market coupled with a largely unorganised market, Guardian is well positioned to grow its brand presence through franchising. We believe our franchisees will be able to earn 'better than normal' margins as well as get access to a large number of Guardian private label products. I am sure that a franchise model in the format will grow rapidly in the years to come.
AG: What is the USP of Guardian Lifecare'?
AG: Guardian Lifecare is a retail chain of health, wellness and beauty stores. Our USP is reliability and service to our consumers.
AG: Do you face competition from the unorganised pharmacy outlets? What strategies have you employed for handling competition?
AG: Unorganised pharmacy outlets or chemists dominate the Indian pharmacy segment. The sector has over 750,000 chemist shops and it handles revenue of more than Rs 90,000 crore, which includes medicine sales of approximately Rs 45,000 crore. Therefore organised pharma retail chains have to concentrate on the service, value-adds, reliability of medicines and ambience to handle competition. Our strategy is to offer the customer genuine medicines under one roof and our loyalty program offers customers redeemable points. The loyalty card also helps the customer get discounts at health and diagnostic centres.
AG: How many franchisees do you have presently? What are your future expansion plans?
AG: Currently, we have nine franchisees. However, by 2012 we plan to take our number to 40.
AG: What are the qualities and qualifications that you seek for in your franchisees?
AG: It is essential for a franchisee to understand the business and the financial commitment required. An alliance with a strong brand will help in pulling customers into the store but retaining customers can only be done at the store and through excellent service.
AG: How does the company support and train the franchisees?
AG: Guardian Pharmacy hand holds franchisees through the initial stage of transition. The franchisees can benefit from our domain experience as well as marketing offerings like Guardian XtraValu and Guardian Senior Citizen Card.

A Guide for Small Business
By JEFFRY A. TIMMONS, ANDREW ZACHARAKIS, STEPHEN SPINELLI
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Copyright © 2004Jeffry A. Timmons; Andrew Zacharakis, and Stephen Spinelli
All rights reserved.
ExcerptCHAPTER 1
We are in the midst of a silent revolution—a triumph of the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of humankind throughout the world. I believe its impact on the 21st Century will equal or exceed that of the Industrial Revolution on the 19th and 20th.
Jeffry A. Timmons
The Entrepreneurial Mind, 1989
Entrepreneurship runs deep in the American psyche. Many of today's heroes are celebrated for their entrepreneurial achievements. Bill Gates, Steven Jobs, Sam Walton, and Arthur Blank, among others, have created businesses that are household names (Microsoft, Apple Computer, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot). Whereas people entering the workforce in the 1960s and 1970s sought larger corporations and job security, people entering the workforce today are seeking younger, entrepreneurial firms or launching their own ventures. If America has learned anything in the last 20 years, it is that job security is a myth. To succeed, people need to be creative in designing their careers. That means seeking jobs that build your skill set and position you to start your own business at some future point. For those of you reading this book, the time may be now. You are not alone in your entrepreneurial dreams. Twenty-two million of your fellow Americans are in the process of launching a business or own a business less than four years old. Ultimately, the most rewarding and satisfying careers are those which are created for oneself; create a company rather than a job.
Babson College, along with the London Business School, has spearheaded the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project, which tracks the rate of entrepreneurship across 40 countries. Entrepreneurship is defined as any attempt to create a new business. The best estimates of the entrepreneurial activity rate for adults age 18 to 74 in 1993 was around 4 percent. After peaking at around 16.7 percent during the Internet boom in 2000, the rate dropped to 10.5 percent in 2002, which was still over twice the level of activity since 1993. In 2003, the activity rate improved to 11.9%. However, not every entrepreneur succeeds in launching a business, and only 40 percent of launched businesses survive longer than six years. This book is designed to help you get beyond the prelaunch stage, navigate the new business stage, and ultimately grow into a sustainable enterprise that is both personally and financially rewarding.
This chapter provides a background on the state of entrepreneurship in the United States, showing which firms beat the failure rule and why. The chapter continues with an overview of attributes that successful people possess. Next, the chapter illustrates when ideas are opportunities and provides a framework (the Timmons Model).
Entrepreneurship in America
To understand what works and what doesn't work, it is useful to examine who entrepreneurs are. We can think of entrepreneurs as falling into different categories based on the stage of development of their businesses. Nascent entrepreneurs are individuals in the prelaunch mode. They have yet to pay themselves or any employees a salary. New business owners are entrepreneurs who have paid salaries and whose business is less than four years old—a critical phase in entrepreneurship. Once the business has survived and reached positive cash flow—usually by the fourth year at the latest—the business is closing in on being a sustainable enterprise and the entrepreneur's task moves toward building on the foundation she has laid.
Nascent Entrepreneurs
Nascent entrepreneurs are individuals who report that they are taking steps toward launching a business but have not yet paid themselves or anybody else in the organization a salary or wages. In 2002, 7 percent of the adult population (or 1 in 14 adults) was in the process of launching a business. Men are more likely to be nascent entrepreneurs than women are (1.5 men for every woman), but the rate of women becoming entrepreneurs has been accelerating in the last decade. Entrepreneurs are people of all ages, but most are between 18 and 44. They tend to be college-educated, but there are many who have not finished high school. As you can see from the demographics, entrepreneurship isn't confined to highly educated men but is an encompassing phenomenon in the United States. There are times in a person's life when it is more likely that he will pursue entrepreneurship (the midthirties), but exceptions to that rule abound (Colonel Sanders was in his sixties when he launched Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Bill Gates was a teenager when he launched Microsoft). We often describe entrepreneurship as the art and craft of the creative, the unexpected, and the exceptional. The inspiration, if you will, may strike at any time in your life as long as you are open to seeing new opportunities.
Not all nascent entrepreneurs launch their businesses successfully. Many discover in this prelaunch stage that the business isn't viable for any number of reasons. For instance, the opportunity may not be large enough for a person to leave an existing job. You need to be confident that the business can grow to a level where you will be able to pay yourself a good salary compared with what you are making now. Moreover, you must recognize that it typically takes two or more years to approach revenue figures that make that earning potential possible. There are opportunity costs to pursuing an entrepreneurial venture. Other flaws may become apparent in the prelaunch phase. You may learn that you lack the skills necessary to be successful, and so you may postpone your dream while you seek jobs that will build that skill set. Entrepreneurs invariably find it difficult to raise the necessary capital, and less determined individuals will abandon their plans.
The critical thing is the learning curve. New and old businesses make mistakes, some of which may lead to failure, but successful entrepreneurs manage mistakes better. Successful entrepreneurs recognize that learning events help them reshape the opportunity so that it better meets customers' needs. The business planning process can help you compress and create those learning curves and move from nascent entrepreneur to business owner. Business planning will save you considerable amounts of time and money by helping you understand and anticipate the obstacles that all entrepreneurs face in launching a business. In articulating in the business plan the nature of the opportunity and the way you will exploit it, you have to answer many of the real-life questions you ultimately will face in practice. Indeed, your immersion in writing a great business plan will carry over into the execution of that plan. You will build a textured awareness of the market and ways to attack it. In essence, writing a great plan provides the momentum to be a great entrepreneur, but the plan is not the business.
Even if you launch your business successfully, not all new business owners will survive. Traditionally, the failure rate for new businesses has progressed as follows: 23 percent fail within two years, 52 percent fail within four years, and 63 percent fail within six years. Although these numbers hold over time, they vary by industry and company type. We believe that you can move those percentages in your favor by gaining a deep understanding of your capabilities as a leader-founder, what it will take for the business to succeed, and how to create ways to make this happen. Business planning is part of that process. It is a useful tool for understanding the potential, the risks, and the payoff for a particular opportunity.

Salma Hayek and her daughter Valentina spent yesterday afternoon playing around on the slides at an LA park. The girls got a little dirty in the sand, though it looks like Salma was able to keep her new wedding diamond ring looking pristine. Her husband of nearly two weeks, Francois-Henri Pinault, wasn't able to spend the day with his girls but there's sure to be lots of fun times ahead for their adorable family. Salma's girls' weekend also included celebrating with her best friend Penelope Cruz, who took home an Oscar on Sunday night.

She's so cute!!!
I agree -- Valentina is darling. She looks like her father.
Valentina is one of my favorite celeb babies she is gorgeous. I love Salma so I'll let this park attire pass.
Adorable kiddie.

Totally cute, but I wish Salma would dress a little less frumpy these days.
paloma is so beautiful
Valentina is so adorable :D
awww how cute is that! i love seeing moms and their babies. it's nice to see how much valentina favors her father's complexion and all that. :)

- Publisher's Summary
- Semiconductor nanostructures are a field of enormous and still-growing research interest. On one hand, they are already realized in mass products, e.g., in high-electron-mobility field-effect transistors and quantum-well lasers. On the other hand, they allow, in specially tailored systems, the investigation of fundamental properties, such as many-particle interactions of electrons in reduced dimensions. This book attempts to fill the gap between general semiconductor textbooks and research articles. It provides an introduction into the basic concepts of inelastic light scattering on semiconductor nanostructures and into their fabrication and basic properties, and, a description of the most striking recent advances in this field. Each chapter is as self-contained as possible. The monograph should interest researchers, experimentalists as well as theorists, and research students working in the field. It should also be interesting for graduate students with knowledge in solid-state physics and quantum mechanics who are interested in optical spectroscopies of semiconductors.

CBI Ups SME Offering: Bank Allocates AED 1 billion to Support SMEs in the UAE, Opens New Dedicated Business Banking Centre in JAFZA
Monday, September 01, 2014
Commercial Bank International (CBI) announced it has more than doubled financing to small and medium enterprises, allocating AED 1 billion in 2014 in support of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the UAE across diverse economic segments, with the launch of innovative business banking solutions and services.
Kris Babicci, CBI's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are seeing significant growth in the SME sector as the UAE economy continues to strengthen. CBI intends to be a significant player in the SME and trade markets. We are committed to supporting government initiatives aimed at boosting business in the country and we are confident that CBI will add a new dimension to the environment in which our SME clients operate, thereby benefiting the national economy as a whole." He also continued: "Small and medium enterprises are important contributors to the UAE economy as they help develop national entrepreneurial spirit in young generations. As a UAE-based banking institution, we are proud to lend our support in breeding a new class of entrepreneurs and support the UAE economy at large."
In support of its SME business expansion strategy, CBI has recently opened its first dedicated business banking centre in Jebel Ali Free Zone. The opening of the facility has been driven by increasing demand from the burgeoning SME sector. Comprising of tellers, ATMs, Bill Payment Kiosk, and a team of dedicated Relationship Managers, our new branch is located at Block no 1, The Galleries, Downtown Jebel Ali. It offers convenient and comprehensive banking services to meet the banking needs of CBI's corporate as well as well as retail clients.
Commenting on the new dedicated facility opening, Ali Sultan Rakkad, CBI's Head of Wholesale Banking Group, said: "SMEs represent a growing percentage in our portfolio. The opening of the new Business Banking Unit in JAFZA represents an important step in CBI's long-term strategy aiming to meet the transaction, trade, and lending needs of SMEs. By establishing this dedicated Business Banking Unit, we will be able to decentralize our service delivery and be closer to the trading community in one of Dubai's most-established business districts with over 6000 businesses registered in the Free Zone."
Natasha Abdulelah, Head of SMEs at CBI, said: "Our JAFZA dedicated branch will be easily accessible by the vibrant SME community located in this area, and will certainly position CBI to better respond to their growing needs for a comprehensive range of financing and banking solutions."
The new centre servicing the SME business community is open from 8:00 am to 04:00 pm from Sunday to Thursday.
CBI was awarded the title of 'Fastest Growing Bank in the UAE' and 'Most Improved Bank in the MENA Region' on the much coveted Banker Middle East Industry Awards 2013. The awards were based on the quantitative analysis of key measure indicators such as assets, liabilities, total income, net attributable profit and return on assets, collating data on real size, real growth, and percentage growth to identify the region's leading financial institutions.
In 2012, Qatar National Bank (QNB), the leading financial institution and largest bank in the MENA region completed the acquisition of 40% of CBI shares. CBI's new brand launched in March last year reflects this partnership. With an expanding network across the United Arab Emirates, an enhanced product suite and a renewed customer-centric approach, CBI remains well positioned for future growth.

Causes and effects of underwater noise on fish abundance estimation
Acoustec, Lowestoft, UK
2 Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway
Corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 23 January 2003
The power of modern research vessels using diesel engines means significant levels of noise may be radiated underwater. At low frequencies a surveying vessel must not cause fish avoidance behaviour when it is using trawl or acoustic assessment methods. All the main mechanisms that form the essential propulsion system are described and discussed in terms of underwater radiated noise. Diesel engines, generators and propulsion motors contribute significantly to the low frequency spectrum and an illustration is given of underwater noise when an unsuitable propulsion system is used. Avoidance behaviour by a herring school is shown due to a noisy vessel, by contrast there is an example of no reaction of herring to a noise-reduced vessel. Propellers are major sources of both low and high frequency noise. The latter should not reduce echo sounder detection range, nor contaminate echo integrator recordings. Underwater noise levels from four vessels with different machinery and propulsion characteristics are seen in relation to ambient noise levels at 18 kHz. Fish detection is examined in relation to sea background noise and vessel self-noise. Calculated detection ranges for fish target strength classes from –30 to –60 dB at 38 kHz are shown for six vessels travelling at 11 knots, based on self-noise measurements. Echo sounder noise levels from several vessels at 120 and 200 kHz are tabulated. Beyond 100 kHz the effect of vessel-radiated noise is usually insignificant; levels up to that frequency are proposed in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Cooperative Research Report No. 209 of 1995.
Key words: Vessel noise / Vessel avoidance / Fish detection

This week, if rumours are correct, a stream of coalition female MPs will be promoted, among them Liz Truss, Esther McVey, Priti Patel and the woman not afraid to say "testicles" in the House of Commons (ho ho), Penny Mordaunt, to replace the male "old lags", who possibly include Eric Pickles and Ken Clarke.
What academic and Tory moderniser Kate Maltby last week defined as modern-day feminism, "individual flourishing" is surely alive and well. Hell, the number of women in the cabinet may even increase by 100% to a whopping six, so who really needs a feminist party when the boys are behaving graciously and being so welcoming in their belated invitation to share power?
Last week, journalist Suzanne Moore called for the establishment of "a big fat feminist party" While praising the plethora of online single issue campaigns such as No More Page 3 and the energy of young feminists (Caitlin Moran attracts fans whose devotion excels even those of Cliff Richard), Moore wrote: "Some of the energy of a new generation of feminism dissipates because it is not anchored to any political structure." Or while it's crucial to expose sexism, violence and discrimination, among other issues, achieving positive change is trickier.
Harriet Harman, deputy leader of the Labour party, permanently and unfairly in the political ducking stool, bore witness to that, also last week, when she made clear the difference between what men believe is going on and what women know is happening.
At Labour's gala fundraising dinner, which I attended last Wednesday, that process was alive and well, as it is in all the political parties. Women were in attendance, some even earning more than the chaps (an auctioned Anish Kapoor gouache on paper does not come cheap), but as the late Marilyn French wrote in the 1980s: "Not all men have power but only men have power." So women in many workplaces, as well as Westminster, abide by the boys' rules. If they don't, as Harman pointed out, they are not seen as "clubbable"; they risk losing their footing on the career ladder, accused of bad dress sense, poor judgment and suffering a sense of humour bypass. (Marginally less wounding than the barbs of a couple of decades ago that customarily included the charge of frigidity and having a face like a frozen carp.)
Harman has decided to speak out because she's reached an age when she no longer gives a stuff about playing that game.
She said that when elected to deputy leader, she had not been appointed deputy prime minister by Gordon Brown as her predecessor, John Prescott, had been, and she was frequently told to stop "banging on" about women's issues.
It was precisely her doggedness – and that of other Labour women politicians and trade unionists – that led to all-women shortlists, the national childcare strategy and equality legislation, which in turn helped to harvest a winning number of female votes.
Yet women are still invited guests at the patriarchal table, not there equally. A fat feminist party? Excellent idea – but the real difficulty is deciding what happens next.
In 1969, Judith Ford, Miss Illinois, aged 18, was crowned Miss America while outside on the boardwalk, women's libbers shouted: "Atlantic City is a town with class. They raise your morals and they judge your ass!" Bras weren't burnt but they did go into a freedom trashcan along with dishcloths and false eyelashes.
Several decades on, conditioning has been revealed as much more complex. Female maintenance today includes waxing, tanning, hair extensions, false nails and eyelashes the size of a peacock's tail while cosmetic surgery is a boom industry – and that's for the under 20s.
Capitalism learned quickly how to colonise feminism and turn it into a servant of the marketplace – but piecemeal resistance, aided by social media, continues.
"Like a girl" is a derogatory insult, for instance, but a video challenging that negativity, has been watched by 31 million.
Thanks to the internet, prodding awake a sense of vigilance is the easy part; achieving real change is the mountain to climb. So what would a feminist party seek? In 1970, the first Women's Liberation Conference in the UK demanded equal pay, equal education and job opportunities, free contraception and abortion on demand and 24-hour nurseries (for shift workers, not to permanently park the offspring).
Separatists, socialists, anarchists, Marxists, Trotskyists and essentialists, also known as female goddesses at one with the Earth, to name only a few, subsequently not only failed to agree, they failed on how to agree.
A non-hierarchical, co-operative meeting had its drawbacks – especially if no one wanted to appear too alpha male by taking the lead. Maltby says feminism is united only by a simple belief: "Gender shouldn't limit people's life chances."
But to do what precisely? Whatever happened to Thomas Paine's ideal of all human capacity realised for the benefit and wellbeing of the entire community, not just the flourishing few?
In Sweden, Feminist Initiative (FI) was established in 2005. In 2014, it won 5.3% of the vote and now has Soraya Post as its MEP. Moore argues, rightly, that 5% of the vote in Britain would give feminists a Ukip lever to achieve space in national debates; disrupt the main parties' election strategies in swing seats and draw attention to a widespread discontent with the neoliberal agenda – not just among many women but also amongst disenfranchised working-class boys and men who work the longest hours in Europe and are sidelined in areas such as childcare.
In Britain, 70% of the cuts so far have impacted on women; care workers can earn little more than £5 an hour; part-timers, mostly in the private sector, receive 43% less pay than full-time males – all of which is exacerbated by continuing privatisation and the destruction of the public sector that has delivered most for women and their children.
Of course, some women are moving up the ladder but diversity is absent – class and ethnicity also matter.
Can socialist feminists get into bed with rightwing Tories who claim to be in the sisterhood? Probably with great difficulty, but alliances across traditional political divides appear to be happening in Ukip and the SNP. They don't necessarily make for lasting relationships.
If history is any guide, a feminist party is a catalyst bound to implode – but since all power eventually corrupts, it would be none the worse for that.
Feminist Marilyn French wanted to see pleasure as the main goal of politics. But somehow: "What do we want?" "Felicity for all." "When do we want it?" "Now!" doesn't have quite the right ring.
But on second thoughts, it may hold far more long-term political promise than the "individual flourishing" practised by the new women in cabinet.

This page explains how intellectual property laws are applied on Hypios CI and how Solvers are protected while solving problems here. The first part provides descriptions of the different intellectual property terms and statuses that apply to Hypios CI. The second part explains how they apply to Hypios CI, followed by an FAQ. This text assumes a basic understanding of how Hypios CI works. For a more general introduction to Hypios CI, please click here.
Intellectual property rights are exclusive over creations of the mind. IP rights protect the interests of creators by giving them property rights over their creations. IP is usually divided into two branches: copyright, which protects literary and artistic works; and industrial property, which protects inventions.
Copyright laws cover creations of the mind and artistic creations, and may only be claimed by the creator or on his or her behalf. Copyrights grant exclusive rights to control the reproduction, practice and adaptation of such works for a given period of time.
The copyright owner may authorize a third party to practice the creation for a specific period of time and purpose. Licenses may be exclusive, where the copyright owner agrees not to authorize any other party to carry out the licensed acts; or non-exclusive, which means that the copyright owners may authorize others to carry out the same acts.
Industrial property takes many forms: industrial designs, trademarks, and patents for inventions.
An industrial design consists of the creation of a shape, configuration or composition of pattern or color, or combination of pattern and color in two- or three-dimensional form which has aesthetic value.
A trademark is a sign (™, ®) used to distinguish a certain symbol, image, logo, phrase, service or combination of these elements from other similar ones and to inform consumers that the products bearing those signs originate from a single source.
Patents are granted for solutions to existing problems that can be considered inventions. Patents give the inventor the right to prevent others from using or practicing the invention without a license from the inventor for a certain period of time. In order to count as an invention (and thus be eligible for a patent), the solution must exhibit four qualities:
Two things can happen to a solution submitted to Hypios CI, and each has a different status. In all cases: as soon as any solution is submitted to Hypios CI, its IP rights are also transferred to Hypios CI.
When a Seeker chooses the winning solution, Hypios CI gives the Seeker exclusive rights to the solution. The Solver forfeits all rights to practice or resell this solution.
Not all solutions submitted for a problem on Hypios CI will be chosen by the Seeker, but that doesn't mean they go to waste. Every solution submitted to Hypios CI that is not purchased or licensed by the Seeker will be stored in HyStore®. The next time a Seeker has a problem for which a solution in the database could be used, we will offer to give the Seeker controlled access to the appropriate solutions in the database. If the Seeker finds a solution in the database and purchases its exclusive or licensing rights, we pay the Solver accordingly. A solution's presence in the database does not prevent its author from selling the solution's exclusive or licensing rights to someone else outside of Hypios CI. In this case, the Solver is not required to share any of the profits with Hypios CI.
Hypios CI provides data, and intellectual property security such as the protection of your personal data and respect for the confidentiality of your correspondence and communications.
Hypios CI is a platform where problems are solved. We've designed the platform to be useful for solving all types of problems. We review every problem submitted to Hypios CI to verify that it is in accordance with US federal law. Certain problems, though perfectly legal, may not adhere to some users' personal moral codes. After careful consideration, Hypios CI has decided to allow any problem within legal bounds to be posed and solved on Hypios CI. The logic behind this decision is as follows.
Hypios CI is not a legislator No company should be a substitute for a democratically elected legislative body nor attempt to dictate what is or is not appropriate in a free market.
Hypios CI is neutral Given that it's impossible to come to an agreement as to what's moral and what's not, Hypios CI has decided to accept all problems (again, provided that they are legal). Neutrality is the only way to preserve Solvers' liberty.
Hypios CI is optional If you encounter a problem on Hypios CI contrary to your principles, you can mark your disapproval by refusing to contribute to its solution. Hypios CI is a platform reserved for responsible adults. Diversity of opinions is a valuable resource that we must work to preserve, to the extent that those opinions are in accord with the laws of our society. This is our current stance, but we'd like to continue the conversation.
Here, your problem is our solution

To begin with, anthrax is a serious infectious disease. It is caused by the bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax is usually found in soil. It affects wild and domestic animals all over the world. Even though this disease is very rare, people may get sick when they come in contact with contaminated animal products or infected animals. Yet, humans cannot transmit this disease. There are effective vaccines against this disease. What is more, antibiotic treatment proves to be effective in some cases.
Herbivorous mammals are usually infected by anthrax when they inhale or ingest the spores during grazing. The most common way for an animal to be infected with anthrax is during ingestion. What is important to remember in this respect is that anthrax is not spread directly from one animal to another or from one animal to another person. It is usually spread by spores which can transport via clothes or shoes. Another aspect to take into consideration is that the body of an animal may also be the source of spores in case it has had active anthrax spores at the death time of that animal. More information regarding this disease can be found at … orderessay.net
This is a great example of the way one should write a top-notch PhD level essay. Nevertheless, you may not employ the parts of this article into your piece of writing as your paper will appear as plagiarized. It is highly recommended to avoid the usage of free samples or any Internet content that cannot be cited properly. Using such information may threat you academic performance or even be a reason of expulsion. Therefore, a great idea is to turn to the online writing service, which provides the papers written from scratch by the professional writers. Our writers specialize in a great variety of subjects and grant 100% originality. Moreover, every order goes through the plagiarism detection software, which lets us spot the plagiarism before the assignment is sent to you and resolve the issue immediately.

New York, Nov 4 (ANI): Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol did not vote in the midterm elections, as she was apparently too busy with her 'Dancing With the Stars' stint.
Bristol admitted that she forgot to do her civic duty.
"I did not send in my absentee ballots to Alaska. I'm going to be in trouble. Sorry, mom!" the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.
Sarah Palin's reputation as a kingmaker is on the line in her home state because she is personally backing Tea Party favorite Joe Miller for the U.S. Senate and he needs every vote he can get.
Asked if she wants her mom to run for president in 2012, Bristol said, "Of course I do."
"I know she is great, and she is great for our country," she added.
A polarizing figure, Sarah Palin has been flirting openly with the idea but has not definitively said she will. (ANI)

Biology is the study of living organisms; it covers a wide range of exciting topics, from molecular biology right up to the study of whole ecosystems. Biology is often in the news and has many applications in everyday life. For example, the human genome has been sequenced and we now know the arrangement of the millions of bases that make up human DNA. There are now more than 2,000 genetic tests for human conditions. These tests enable patients to learn their genetic risks for disease and also help healthcare professionals to diagnose disease. Based on a deeper understanding of disease at the genomic level, in the future we will see a whole new generation of new targeted treatments, many of which will be drugs that are much more effective and cause fewer side effects than those available today. Another major issue that will affect future generations is that the human population is rapidly increasing. The impact that this will have on the environment and how scientists can increase food production by intensive farming and genetic engineering will also be studied.
Topics include:Year 1
1. Biological molecules
2. Cells
3. Organisms exchange substances with their environment
4. Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms

Biology is an obvious choice if you are interested in a career in Medicine, Veterinary Science or other health related professions. However, it is also a fascinating subject in its own right and develops scientific, mathematical and literacy skills which are well respected by all University courses.
In Biology, you will be taught by experienced, specialist staff. The Biology department was graded as outstanding in the last OFSTED inspection.
Students work through interactive packs of notes in lessons. They find the packs very useful as having pre-printed notes allows them to concentrate more in class, the packs help students to organise their work better and the questions within the packs allows students to apply their new knowledge to exam-style questions. Regular practical classes allow students to develop laboratory skills which will be assessed (leading to a practical endorsement) and experimental knowledge will be tested within the written exams.
Students who are applying for competitive courses such as oxbridge, medicine, veterinary science and dentistry have a dedicated staff mentor who will guide them through all stages of the application process from admission tests, through to personal statements and then to mock interviews.
Extra "Interested and enthusiastic" sessions are offered to those students who wish to go beyond the subjects taught within the A-level specification. Students are encouraged to enter the Biology Olympiad and other competitions throughout the year. Some of our students have taken part in the Microverse Research project as part of the citizen science initiative organised by the Natural History Museum.
Many extracurricular trips are run each year and this year included visits to the University of Southampton, Reading and Portsmouth where students had the opportunity to perform experiments in the University laboratories. Other trips included attending the "Biology in Action" lectures at the Institute of Education in London, and attending interactive workshops run by the Royal College of Pathologists and Anaesthetists. Every two years a marine ecology field trip is taken abroad in the summer to give students the opportunity to learn to scuba dive and take part in ecological research under the guidance of University staff; in July 2015 our students took part in a marine biology expedition in Greece.
All of the Biology staff are experienced extended project supervisors and Biology is a very popular subject area within which students choose their research projects. Those students who have interviews at University find the research skills they gain from the extended project invaluable.
There is a lot of factual knowledge to learn in Biology. Students need to develop their revision techniques from GCSE to cope with this and they are given regular end of topic tests to ensure that they are learning the material as they progress through the course and that they have understood what is taught. There is a comprehensive support system for any students that find the step-up from GCSE challenging. Extra lessons take place each week to target those students who need a little extra help. There is also an extensively used peer mentoring system in place. The open door policy ensures that any student needing extra support can drop in to see their teacher when they are free. Students are encouraged to work in the science study area near to the teaching laboratories.
Students need to be organised in their approach to independent work and be committed to at least five hours extra per week on this subject. This will involve weekly reading of the relevant text book chapters, preparing revision notes, practicing past exam questions and other homework such as writing up practical experiments.
This qualification is linear. Linear means that students will sit all the A-level exams at the end of their A-level course.
In your second year you will have three assessments:Paper 1: What's assessed?Any content from topics 1 - 4, including relevant practical skills
Paper 2: What's assessed?Any content from topics 5 - 8, including relevant practical skills
Paper 3: What's assessed?Any content from topics 1 - 8, including relevant practical skills
To achieve a Practical Endorsement you will undertake a range of experiments to display your competency in:
Students who have followed this course have gone on to a wide range of courses and careers. These include, medicine, veterinary science, biology, biochemistry, nursing, physiotherapy, sports science.
Students should normally have achieved an A*- C grade profile at GCSE. For GCSE English and Maths where a new grading system has been introduced, a Grade 4 is equivalent to a Grade C.
It is essential that you have gained at least grade B in Biology or B/B in Science before starting the course.
Part of the course will include Chemistry and 10% of the course is Mathematics. You do not need to follow these subjects at A Level, although a Grade 6 in GCSE Maths is preferred. As there is an essay component to the assessments and lots of new terminology to learn it is important that you have good English skills.
All students will be expected to provide their own textbooks, stationery and calculators (where appropriate).
Essential: £20 per year for written resources and electronic book.
If the costs of equipment, materials and trips may cause you financial hardship, you may wish to read through details of our financial support scheme on our website.
International Baccalaureate
Biology is the study of living organisms. This course undertakes study at a variety of levels from the molecular to that of the biosphere. At the end of the course you will have an appreciation of: specific techniques used in biology, how the heart rate and breathing are controlled, genetic engineering, colour change in urine, how sugar levels in the body are controlled.
Subject specific core includes:
In addition options are available in:
Practical work and investigations are an important and integral part of both courses. You will also undertake a group project.
External assessment takes place at the end of the two-year course. There are 3 written papers – including a multiple-choice test – which accounts for 76% of the total marks. Coursework, which accounts for 24% of the marks, is assessed by your lecturer and moderated externally.
An International Baccalaureate qualification in Biology is rated highly by all universities – including Oxbridge and the medical schools. A good grade will help you to secure a place to study almost any subject at any university, either in the UK or abroad.
The College will provide a Lab coat and safety spectacles. All students will be expected to provide their own textbooks, stationery and calculators (where appropriate).
Essential £30.00 for textbook; £20.00 for Ecology trip
Non-essential £13.00 subscription to Biology Science Review.

AN: Hello, it's me again. It's so hot in Orlando! Ugh. I like the cold better. Anyways, here's the next chapter, enjoy! Oh, and sorry for the long update. I've been kind of busy.
P.S. I don't own MR.
(Fang's POV)
Max was finally off the crutches. Trust me, she's ecstatic. She only walks with a slight limp now, and her ribs are completely healed. Right now though, we were sitting on her bed, watching a movie. Max was leaning against me, her head on my shoulder. I had my arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her even closer to me.
And then Iggy came running in, ruining our moment. "Iggy, what's up?" Max asked, frowning.
"Nudge…chase…blow up…favorite jacket…" was all he managed to get out through his panting as her turned and slammed the door shut, locking it.
Luckily, Max and I are smarter than the average bear and was able to put all of that together. "You burned Nudge's jacket! Do you want to die a slow, painful death?" I exclaimed.
"Shh! She doesn't know I'm in here!" Iggy whisper-yelled.
"Well, let's keep it that way! By you leaving! She'll kill me if she knew that I was hiding you." I whisper-yelled back.
"Nudge alert." Max said lazily, obviously not very concerned. We all turned to the only door left that she could get in from the outside from. The balcony. She ran in, screaming like a banshee, and tackled Iggy. "Huh, I didn't know she could do that."
"Do what? Climbing the balcony or killing Iggy?" I asked.
"Both." she replied. "I thought she was too sweet to kill Iggy. As for the balcony, I thought only me and you could do that."
"What are you two doing? Save me!" Iggy yelled.
Max sighed and stood up. She grabbed the back of Nudge's collar and dragged her up to her feet. Nudge gave Max a hurt, betrayed look, until Max grabbed the back of Iggy's collar as he tried to run away. "Iggy, you shouldn't have blown up Nudge's jacket. Nudge, violence isn't always the answer. Even if it's the most amusing and satisfying answer." The last part she muttered to herself. "Iggy, as punishment, you will go on a shopping trip with Nudge and do everything she tells you."
"And if I don't?" he grumbled.
Max smirked. "Then I'm going to let her die you're hair a nice, pretty hot pink. We'll see how Ella feels about you then. You know, I heard that Jack was looking for a new boyfriend. I think you two would make a great couple."
Iggy slumped in defeat. "You're evil. Probably suffering from insanity."
Max grinned. "I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. Now go." She let them go and Nudge grabbed Iggy's arm, dragging him out of the room. Max shook her head and resumed our earlier position.
"Why can't we have normal families?" I asked, shaking my head.
"Because, normal's not nearly as fun." Max replied, smiling.
"Come on. You know that we'd be bored out of our minds if we had a normal life."
I thought about it. No explosions, chatterbox sisters, prank wars… "You're right." I said. "We would be bored out of our minds."
Max rolled her eyes and stood up. "Come on, I'm hungry."
"You know that you just got rid of our cook, right? And your mom isn't home." I said, rolling my eyes.
Max waved this little tidbit off. "We can manage. We'll bake cookies!" she replied, grabbing my arm and dragging me downstairs.
"Do you even know how to bad cookies?" I asked her.
"Yes." she said, her tone slightly defensive. "I've watched Dr. M enough to know what to do." She started moving around the kitchen, grabbing a bunch of supplies. This is not a good idea. Stop her! NOW! Before we lose the house, some part of me thought. But then I looked at her. She was smiling and humming happily and…I just couldn't ruin her fun. God, I am such a pushover! Sometimes I wonder if Max knows just how much she affects me, and just how much she'd be able to get away with when it was just me and her around. I think she secretly does.
"Faaanngg." Max whined. "Come here. I need your help. She said, getting out a mixer. I walked over to her. She handed me flour. "Pour some of this in there." she ordered. I did as I was told. Then I got an idea.
I took a handful of flour. "Hey, Max." She turned from putting eggs in a bowl and I threw the flour at her. Some of it got on her face, but most of it got on her shirt. "Gotcha." I said smugly.
She scowled and took an egg, smashing it on my head. I mean, egg shell and all. "Gotcha." she said in a mocking tone. I scowled and grabbed the whole bowl of flour, dumping it on her head. She glared at me (which, by the way, looked hilarious because she was all white), and went to the fridge. I was wondering what she grabbed, when all of a sudden I had a lot of cold, leftover lasagna on my head.
And it just escalated from there. Soon, we were both covered from head to toe in food. And then it went from a food fight to an actual fight. We were wrestling around with each other. I had her in a headlock when she kicked my legs out from under me. I went down, but, thanks to my headlock, she went down with me.
I reached up to grab the counter and get both of us up, but I overshot and grabbed the bowl of eggs instead, bringing it down right on the top of my head. Which, of course, made Max start to laugh at me, and then I took in her appearance and started to laugh at her. And then we just couldn't stop. As soon as we thought we had our laughter under control, we'd find something else to make us laugh again.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Iggy asked. He and the others had just walked into the door, including Ella and Dr. M. And, of course, the looks on their faces started another round of laughter. Finally, we stood, leaning heavily on each other to keep from falling over.
"Max? What's going on?" Dr. M asked.
For once, Max actually got herself under control faster than I did. "We were baking cookies and well…" Max trailed off and looked me and herself over. "It got a little out of hand?" she finished, it coming off as a question instead of a statement.
"I'd say. Both of you, go take a shower and get changed." Dr. M said.
Max looked around her at the destroyed kitchen. "Um…" she muttered, not sure what to say. "Iggy, you're up!" she said before running upstairs.
"Have fun!" I said, clapping Iggy on the back as I went for the door. Iggy was just standing there with this horrified look on his face. I knew he was pissed. He'd marry that kitchen if he could. Finally, he must've snapped out of it. I was halfway between his house and mine when I heard him yell. "Max! Fang! What the hell did you two do to my kitchen?"
I climbed the balcony up to Max's room. Max was causally laying on her bed. Which was strange because someone was pounding on their door like they were about to kick it down. She grinned at me. "Hey." she said, kissing me as I lay down beside her.
"Do I want to know?" I asked, gesturing with my head towards the door.
"Eh, Iggy's still mad about the kitchen. He actually did clean the kitchen, but now he wants to kill both of us." she replied casually, as if this was an everyday thing.
I sighed. "How did I wind up with such a weird girl?" I asked the ceiling.
Max chuckled. "You say weird like it's a bad thing." she said, grinning. She reached up to kiss me again, and I felt like I was in heaven.
"It's definitely not a bad thing." I murmured against her lips.
AN: Sorry if it's not very good, but I tried. Review, and tell me what you think! Please and thank you!

Gobbler Guns: Should You Pick Pump, Bolt, or Single Shot?
We pit the last of the bolt-action shotgun breed, Savage�s Model 210FT, against the slide-action Mossberg Model 835 Ulti-Mag and the single-shot NEF Pardner SBI to see what you should buy.
[IMGCAP(1)] Spring turkey season brings good adventure and, hopefully, good food to the table for those who venture forth after this big bird. Many, if not most, spring turkey hunters use shotguns (some states permit rifles, some mandate shotguns), and they generally take head shots with Full- or Extra Full-choked barrels at moderate ranges. Range depends on the individual hunter's skill in calling, the pattern produced by his shotgun, and of course the evasive luck of the chase. No matter the range, the shotgun-equipped turkey hunter must do some very accurate pointing, holding, and squeezing off of the shot. At very close range a shotgun works more like a rifle than a "scatter" gun, and on...

"FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD!!!!" screamed the fish in the middle of the pool. Poseidon looked at the fish because instead of yes and no on it it said 'Feed da fish' on both sides. This little fish is the offspring from the great Decision Fish. Don't ask.

"I would be delighted if I was still here," the British No 1 said. "I would not be so pleased if we were still in the first round.''
The questioner had a delayed men's singles final in mind, and if Henman were still around for that the nation would be in a state of high rejoicing, come hell or high water, neither of which is being ruled out.
What Henman does not want is a roof on the new No 1 Court, or any other court come to that. Nor would he favour a reduction in the men's singles matches from five sets to three.
"The issue of it being Wimbledon is irrelevant. I don't think there should be a roof. It's an outdoor tournament, and it should remain that way," he said.
"In Australia [where there is a retractable roof on the Centre Court in Melbourne], there's an issue with the heat. Everybody knows that when you go down to Australia it's going to be hot, and I think if you enter a tournament and you go down there you have got to be prepared to play in those conditions. It's obviously not going to be quite as hot here, but it's an outside tournament and I think it should remain that way.
"With regards to taking the singles to three sets, I would not like to see that happen. If it did happen I think it probably would lead to quite a few upsets, because grass, I think, does provide the opportunity for upsets.''
Did he think there would be a lot of opposition from his fellow players?
"It hasn't been spoken about a great deal, as an option. I can only speak from my point of view. But who knows? When you've got a situation like this, there's a lot of balls being thrown in the air.
"We have discussed roofs. Some people have the opinion that they would like to see a roof, and it would give the chance for tennis to be played and the fans to see it and for people to see it on television. But at the moment, you know, the players are just sort of switching off and trying to stay as relaxed as possible.''
The 17-year-old Venus Williams, purple, green and white beads in place, was also content to bide her time for her Wimbledon debut without bothering her head about a roof.
"Why would you want to play on grass and have a covered court when you can play in the sun if it's going to shine?" she said. "I don't think the courts should be covered. I'm sure they won't do it, either. It would ruin the tradition.''
Williams has found time for some sight-seeing with her younger sister, Serena. "We went to the Tower of London, and We went to the London Dungeons. that's where I wanted to go.''
Did she see the Crown Jewels? "Yes, we saw the jewels.''
Did she see anything she would like to take home?
"I won't tell you guys my plans now..."

Beaver Dam proved to be poor hosts and won its own invitational Saturday, but Wauwatosa East finished a solid second.
The Red Raiders scored 61 points, 21 behind the host Diamondbacks as all of the top-five runners for Tosa East finished in the top 19.
Two freshmen led the way: Katie Salmon was fifth, running in 16 minutes, 20 seconds, and Gabi Caron-Schule was 11th (16:43).
Sophomore Jordy Schmidt was 12th (16:52), senior Karen Koeble, 14th (16:55) and junior Emma Watson, 19th (17:12).
"The girls rose to the occasion and ran competitively on Saturday," Tosa East coach Sue Shorts said. "Katie chased after the leaders from the beginning to set the tone for the rest of the team.
"All of the girls ran toward the front of the competition and five girls earned medals - Katie, Gabi, Jordy, Karen and Emma."
The Raiders' two other participants finished in the top 25: senior Jane Petr was 20th (17:13) and junior Andrea Schaefer took 24th (17:32).
"We were missing Nicole Kashian, who has been our number one runner all year, but the rest of the team pushed harder to make up for her not being there and filled the gap nicely."
The JV team won its second meet in a row, with Sammie Osinski winning her second JV meet in a row.
