California Regulators May Fine PG&E for Gas Pipeline Blast
The California Public Utilities Commission will consider if PG&E Corp. should face fines as the regulator investigates what caused an explosion at one of the company's natural gas pipelines near San Francisco last year.
The commission will determine whether PG&E broke record- keeping laws for its transmission pipeline system, Commissioner Mike Florio said today at a press briefing. The action was spurred by safety recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board after investigators found PG&E's records incorrectly identified the ruptured pipe as seamless while it had seams and welds, Florio said.
PG&E could face state fines of $20,000 per violation per day, Florio said. "The NTSB's reports have presented us with sufficient information and good cause to commence a penalty consideration," he said.
PG&E has been reviewing its pipeline records and expects to turn in the initial results to the commission on March 15, Joe Molica, a company spokesman, said in a telephone interview.
The federal board said last month that problems with records could create conditions in which a pipeline is operated at a higher pressure than it was built to withstand. California regulators ordered PG&E to reduce pressure on some of its lines as a result of the finding.
The federal safety board has yet to determine what caused the Sept. 9 blast that killed eight people and destroyed 37 homes in San Bruno, California. The board will hold public hearings March 1 to March 3 in Washington on the incident and may complete its investigation by September, Chairman Deborah Hersman said today.
Separately, the commission voted today to set new pipeline safety rules including possible requirements for installation of automatic shut-off valves and upgrades that allow for interior pipe inspections.

UC Davis Summer Abroad
Status: Closed for 2017
Sustainable Cities of Northern Europe
Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland
Arrive Date: July 2, 2017 End Date: July 31, 2017
Program Overview
This program examines the plans, systems, and designs for urban sustainability from multiple perspectives from transit, bike and ped circulation to renewable energy systems to waste management, land use, and urban planning and landscape/open space design. Relying on lectures, field trips, bike tours, guest speakers, design and planning problems, and reading-the-city exercises, the program shows what lessons can be taken from Europe back to U.S. cities. We will visit 8-10 cities—large and small—in 4-5 countries that have demonstrated a commitment and success in becoming more sustainable; this includes looking in-depth at various deliberate eco-districts and neighborhoods like Vauban, Rieselfeld, Trekronner, Vestra Hamnen, and Hammarby Sjostad, in places like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Malmo, Freiburg, Lucerne, and elsewhere. The importance of strong urban planning principles and strong urban design approaches is studied throughout the summer.

Justin Harmon, aka J.U.S. is a 24-year-old rapper. He was born in Wisconsin and now lives in Lakewood. His album, "Food Stamps & Financial Aid," was released earlier this year and is available for download at Reverbnation.
The title track starts things off with a tale of facing financial struggles with the help of federal government assistance. "I gotta couple hundred dollars on this EBT card/ instead of a month in jail I'm finally free now…….just got a big check from Sallie Mae TGIS/ thank God it's Saturday."
"Let It Out" is a strong track. The music has a pleasing melody, while the lyrics provide some insight into Harmon's outlook on life. He relates that he had no father or brothers in his life and that on days when he needs a lift, he opens his Bible. "My thoughts are deeper than the ocean floor/ right to my hands got open sores/ hoping they don't open doors/ I ain't a moler/ but I know the score/ all I need is a Bible, pen, pad and my vocal chords."
"Heavy Artillery" has J.U.S. coming across with much bravado. "I'm the captain and the general/ busting off of you imbeciles/ thinking you invincible/ stopping hell in a chemical." It conjures images of urban mayhem with sampled sounds of car tires squealing and gunshots.
J.U.S. even displays some lyrical cleverness. "And I ain't even trying to lead you on/ but this mission's like Luke Ridenour trying to be LeBron/ my game's on I'm like James Bond on a secret mission."
Two of the stronger tracks are collaborations with Takeshia Seward, a singer/songwriter based in Seattle. On "Circles," J.U.S. addresses a woman with whom he has been in a stormy relationship. "You gonna be the death of me/I'm telling you, you telling me/ every day we fight all we missing is a referee."
Seward then sings about how J.U.S. is with another woman, and she is with a new man.
"Goodtime" is a real party song. Seward's vocals add a good R&B flavor to the tune.
The album cover artwork by Shawn Farrow exemplifies the title in bright colors. In one panel a young male adult is standing at a counter to receive his student loan check. In the other he is shown using his government issued card to purchase a carton of milk in a store.

Follow guidelines for zoning exceptions
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
In any given school year, the Alachua County school district is bombarded with zoning requests. Literally, hundreds of requests are made each year for students to attend a particular school outside of their zoned school.
There seems to be the notion that once a request is made, and if the paperwork is submitted early, an approval will be granted. However, this is not an automatic process where parents make a request and the request will be approved.
There are so many variables to consider. Each request is determined on its individual merits. There are no preferential treatments or entitlements given to families based on name, favoritism, gender, race, religion or any political persuasion.
The zoning policy for Alachua County Public Schools states that schools that have space or are under capacity may receive out-of-zone students under the following conditions:
* Parents employed by the School Board.
* Hardship to the family.
* Medical/psychological needs.
* Police/Department of Children & Families request.
* Victim of a violent crime.
It is the School Board's expectations that children receiving an exemption will remain in the assigned school until a zoning exception is granted.
Also, zoning administrators will consult with both principals before granting a zoning exception. The student's behavior and school attendance may be considered when reviewing requests for zoning exceptions.
* A zoning exception may not be granted if the student accrued any of the following:
* Ten days of out-of-school suspension in the previous school year.
* Six days or more of unexcused absences the previous semester.
* Ten or more days of tardy arrivals the previous school year.
Zoning exceptions are only for the academic year in which the exception is granted. Subsequent years require a new application and approval.
Parents and students should be aware that the principal may request to revoke a student based on poor attendance, excessive tardiness, early departures and misbehavior. Requests based on behavior also must take into account the age, disability, disciplinary history, seriousness of offenses, strength of the evidence with offenses and whether the student exhibits remorse.
To appeal zoning denials, parents must reactivate the application with a letter stating the reasons for further review. The superintendent and a committee will reconvene to review any new information for a final decision.
On occasion, there are experienced candidates for exceptions who will make attempts to circumvent the process. In such cases, the initial application will not considered. It is the expectation that families will follow the guidelines. In addition, sports, cheerleading teams and other extracurricular activities are not a reason for zoning approvals.
Homebuyers beware: Please determine what addresses are zoned for which schools before making a purchase. This applies to renters as well.
Parents and students, I hope that your experiences this school year will be the best year yet for you.
Good luck.
Philoron A. Wright Sr. is assistant to the superintendent of community and schools for Alachua County Public Schools.

A gourmet fusion of avant garde and tradition
Barcelona is one of Europe's most glamorous and energetic cities, with an astounding collection of beautiful art and architecture, and a high concentration of stunning restaurants and winebars. We have designed this luxurious chauffeured wine tasting tour to include the best of Barcelona's sights and eateries, along with a day excursion to the Penedès wine country. Penedès is a fantastic and diverse region where Spain's bubbly (Cava) is produced as well as high-end still red and white wines. Exceptional wines that you will try on this tour include Torres´ "Mas La Plana", Parés Baltà´s "Absis", Albet I Noya´s "Marti" and Agustí Torelló´s "Krypta" (the best bubbly in Spain, in a gorgeous amphora shaped bottle). You´ll visit boutique wineries and enjoy tours of the vineyards, followed by private VIP tastings.
With your own private art guide and chauffeur you will discover some of Barcelona's best sights (such as the Gaudi landscaped Parc Guell with its mindboggling mosaics), best markets (like tiny Santa Caterina and the outstanding Boqueria markets), and museums (the very charming Picasso museum). Dining is as important as the wine on our tours and we have selected a mix of contrasting restaurants, from authentic and cozy Paella restaurants to innovative "foodie" hotspots. Traditional dishes you might try include "Zarzuela" (a lusty seafood soup with fish and shellfish), roast vegetables with "Picada" (a thick sauce with almonds, hazelnuts, parsley and garlic), and "Xato" (a traditional salad from the Catalan city of Tarragona, made with Escarola lettuce, anchovies, tuna and Arbequina olives in a vinaigrette of olive oil, Ñora peppers, crushed almonds, and high quality vinegar). And some unforgettable gastronomic experiences are in store for you at mythical restaurants such as Cinc Sentits.

No resolution yet on teachers pay dispute
The Premier, Denis Napthine says any resolution reached with Victorian teachers in the ongoing pay dispute must involve a 'good outcome for taxpayers'.
Dr Napthine would not say whether the Government plans to honour the promise of former Premier Ted Baillieu, to make the state's teachers the best paid in the country.
The Opposition yesterday criticised Dr Napthine for not making changes to the education portfolios as part of his cabinet re-shuffle.
But he says there has already been several meetings between the parties since he became Premier and he is committed to resolving the deadlock.
"I'm very very keen to work with the teachers and the teachers' union to get a fair deal for teachers," he said.
"I've got great admiration for teachers and what they do in our classrooms, very professional, high quality job, we want to pay them a fair pay deal."

Home > News & Events > News > Student Stories > Student Runs for Congress in West Michigan
Even while he completes his Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) coursework in Cambridge, Bob Overbeek MC/MPA 2010 is already facing his newest challenge back in his home state. Overbeek – 31 years old, husband, father of four, former teacher, war veteran and current mid-career student – is running for the Republican nomination in Michigan's 3rd congressional district. He is one of at least two GOP candidates seeking the seat of Rep. Vernon Ehlers, who is retiring after nine terms.
Inspired to launch his campaign by several members of the Kennedy School faculty – particularly David King and Steve Jarding – Overbeek said he is specifically eager to tackle the challenges posed by the influence of "big money" in Washington.
"They said, 'here's the facts about big money and politics – you don't like it, do something about it'," said Overbeek. "I see 'big money' in politics as counter to good governance."
Jarding, who is a public policy lecturer at HKS, said he encourages students to make a difference in government.
"My classes try to instill in students the urgency of political leadership around the world," said Jarding. "Governments today are full of politicians and you get what you pay for - literally. Leaders know that public service is not about those who serve but about those who would be served. My students get one shot at life, one shot to leave the world a better place than they found it. I expect them to lead and anything short of that would be a disappointment for me, and more importantly, for them."
Overbeek – born and raised in west Michigan – said his Harvard Kennedy School education has helped prepare him for his race.
"My time at the Kennedy School has helped me think about and face some of the most fundamental problems," he said. "I view my time here as preparation for what lies ahead. This perspective helps carry me through each day."
The Michigan primary will be held on August 3 with the general election scheduled for November 2.

text: SALT LAKE CITY, May 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- inContact (NASDAQ: SAAS), the leading provider of cloud contact center software and contact center agent optimization tools, today announced the acquisition of workforce optimization (WFO) provider, CallCopy, Inc., which offers its products and services under the name "Uptivity." Based in Columbus, Ohio, Uptivity provides a complete mid-market WFO suite comprised of speech and desktop analytics, agent coaching, call and desktop recording, as well as quality, performance, workforce management and satisfaction surveys.This strategic acquisition extends inContact's existing lead in the cloud contact center market and enables the company to address an additional estimated $1 billion in the expanding midsized WFO market, creating a powerful competitive advantage over other cloud players. Said inContact CEO Paul Jarman, "Today's midsized contact centers are every bit as complex as their enterprise counterparts and need to provide a high quality, multi-channel service experience with limited capital budget and resources. These centers often lack IT personnel and dedicated WFO staff and require solutions that are easy to learn and use. " Continued Jarman, "We have strong success with our existing Verint-powered solution in the cloud, which we will continue to offer to enterprise customers. With the addition of Uptivity's full-featured WFO solution for the midmarket, inContact will now have a solid two-tier offering in a multibillion dollar industry." Uptivity brings approximately 700 customers to the growing inContact family. The combined customer base will benefit from broader, complementary solutions and rapid cloud innovation, with continued support for a variety of telephony infrastructures. Like inContact, Uptivity has a strong reputation for customer centricity, earning the top overall vendor satisfaction rating for three straight years in industry analyst DMG Consulting LLC's Workforce Optimization Product and Market Report. inContact selected Uptivity due to the breadth of the company's portfolio, their growing recurring revenue stream and their readiness to exploit the cloud opportunity.

Thought some of you would get a kick out of this. I just finished up my "e-portfolio" that the department mandates our professors shove down our throats. I'm lucky enough that mine said just put some text on there and I'll call it 100%
But why be happy with just that? After all, why write a quick note when you can write a novel?
I'll skip the copy/pasting of the essays - if you really want to read essays reviewing a short story, Julius Caesar, and I, Robot, PM me and I'll copy it for you (although I do think the I,Robot is a rather interesting one that goes against the grain).

CAS Course and Assignment Reflection
English 103 - Spring 2008
The views expressed by the author have been previously described as painfully honest and to the point - take them with a grain of salt and realize that some things are beyond the control of the faculty, but other things are not.
This is not an observation of the professor teaching the course, it is one of the course and it's faults and benefits as seen by Michael A. XXXXXXXXX. The author can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. The professor has already had their performance reviewed by the students which was submitted to the department per University policies.
The comments are meant for the people who create the department guidelines and requirements for all English 103 courses. There will be spelling and gramatical errors throughout, as everything except the essays were written on the fly on LiveText.com
1. Objective
To be quite frank, this course is to attempt to get people to do something they should have been doing their entire lives - to think for themselves and to think critically of the subject matter from all sides that they can conceive. People at the age of 18 should have enough of a grasp on the English language to be able to easily write most of these assignments in a few hours, but most were having problems given a week or more to write - and even some were asking for the assignment to be verbally explained to them the day before the rough drafts were due.
I found during my 10 weeks in this chair that a majority of the students had the same exact opinions, which were always filled with "I uh...I don't know" in the middle or their sentences and at the end (even in peer to peer discussions) - quite a shame, as I know my high school education did not prepare me for college or the real world - I can only imagine what a disservice students younger than me by a mere 5 years were given.
I also believe that this e-portfolio is a complete waste of my time, as I'll be handing in a hard copy of all my written papers, and the professor wrote the syllabus. Creating resumes is discussed at length in Intro to Coop, and I have better things to do with my time than do this.
Course Reflection
This course reflection was INTENTIONALLY kept in plain view (not hidden) contrary to the English Department's instructions. This was done because the author firmly believes that there is no better feedback that an instructor can get on their course or teaching methods than to sit down and ask one of their students.
Departmental/co-worker advice and constructive criticism have their place, but the people that are giving the feedback are giving the reviews to the professor second hand. That is no way for anybody to effectively improve their course or their performance. Some factors are beyond the professor's control, and those things should not be held against the professor teaching the material.
The author has also intentionally skipped thesis statement and body paragraphs for this review, and instead has answered the questions directly as they appeared. Again, this is in the name of constructive criticism.
I have been graded and judged on my literary skills for the past 10 weeks in this course, and for the previous 14 years in educational institutes of some nature. If this portion of the e-portfolio is truly a review, then this will not count against the grade for the portfolio - if it is busy work it will count against me, and so be it if that is the case.
1. What did you learn or do that specially helped you become more skilled or more knowledgeable about your major?
Continued emphasis on punctuation and efforts to convey the information to somebody with no previous background of the subject at hand. I tend to assume people have an inkling about everything for some odd reason.
2. Did you learn to apply new functions of mathematics, science, engineering or technology?
I personally did not - I graduated 5 years ago and have worked full time for a few years in applicable fields to my major, as well as my experience with Formula SAE. This course was not about applying functions, it was about critical thinking and it's related portions of writing papers.
3. Did you conduct, analyze, or interpret experiments? Did you apply your results to improve processes in your major?
No, but we did write papers with input and feedback from both peers and our professor.
4. Did you apply creativity in designing systems, components, or processes related to this course?
See #3.
5. Did you work effectively with a team?
I had trouble getting honest opinions and feedback out of classmates. There tends to be a common trend of thinking that the professor is always right, or my grade may suffer. That is not what college is about. This is something that is beyond the control or scope of the professor.
6. Did you develop your ability to identify, analyze and solve technical problems?
My punctuation has improved.
7. Did you develop your oral and written communication skills?
Yes, I did.
8. Were you encouraged to develop an appreciation for lifelong learning?
That was instilled upon me by my grandfather. He earned his masters in chemical engineering while working full time at DuPont and raising 4 children. He later held very high positions in Monsanto, and played critical roles in many of projects including the Manhattan Project. Nobody in our family knows exactly what he has worked on since much of it is still classified. I personally believe the day you stop learning at least one new thing every day is the day you die. College has not changed this opinion. Your mileage may vary.
9. Do you understand professional, social, and/or ethical responsibilities as a result of this course?
I can thank my parents and grandparents for my social and ethical responsibilities, and working since I was 16 for my professional responsibilities. It is not a university's job to instill social or ethical responsibilities - that is the job of the student and their life experiences. The last thing this country needs is a larger group of people who all have the same exact set of morals and ethics, and thus the same exact mindset on almost everything. That is when you loose critical thinking and different ways of looking at the same problem.
I repeat - no university should attempt to instill ANY professional, social, or ethical responsibilities on any students. It is not your job to raise people, it is your job to instill education and theories.
10. Did the course help you develop respect for diversity and knowledge of professional, societal, and global issues?
I hope that others gained some respect for that. I have been immersed in that for a long time, but very few students had a single independent viewpoint that I could detect, and very few of them knew anything about global issues or historical facts unless they were spoon fed it by the media - and we all know how dangerous it is to go to one source for all your information.
11. Did the course encourage you to develop a commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and timeliness in your professional life?
That is the only way to succeed in life. Again, it is not your responsibility to even attempt to instill any of these factors in anybody. You are not parents, you are hired to provide a service - in this case to teach the finer points of the English language.

Boone & crocket
Are the Boone & Crocket from Leupold a good idea?
I guess the idea makes sense, but how can a scope compensate for differend distances when shooting different calibers and different weights of bullets.
Is the scope adjustable for the caliber you are using?
Gimick or good idea?

Re: Boone & crocket
I say good idea.
I don't own one, but friends on line and around here have really liked the B&C reticle.
As far as your concern about different calibers and ranging, I'm not sure. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Aren't they all calibrated for standard calibers somehow??..sakofan..
This may help..

Re: Boone & crocket
Some friends and I killed a bunch of mule deer for CWD samples this hunting season and I have taken the opportunity to use several bullets and also a variety of scopes. I recently killed several deer with the R2 reticle and a bunch by clicking the elevation onto the turret. Got some very long kills shooting both systems, four over 700 yards, quite a few from 500-650. My buddies always crank their turrets for their long range shooting and they have been making kills all the way out to 700 yards with their .308 Winchester rifles. These guys are getting to be very proficient killers since we employ shooter/spotter techniques and always have a backup shooter on the critter if possible. Probably the main reason we can kill out that far is because we shoot together as much as possible in the summer - usually about a 75-100 rounds per person per session.
In my opinion my shot placement when I crank the proper elevation and wind into the turret is significantly better - the bullet hits closer to my point of aim particularly past 500 yards. The R2 is a wonderful reticle and it enables the shooter to hold-off quickly with a degree of accuracy that should hit the vital area of a deer out to very long distances - but I believe that the hits are simply not as precise - I was hitting deer in the chest but had more windage error, also some shots hit higher than I wanted. Also find a natural reluctance to hold center with the little crossbars if I could only see the upper 2/3's of the body because of vegetation. I used the R2 rather than a TDS or B&C because I have excellent drop tables for the .300 WSM rifle and can refer to the drop card very quickly, count down the MOA's to the appropriate bar, holdoff for wind using the horizontal bars for reference and break the shot.
Having said the above I admit that I have not shot the R2 nearly as much as I have shot with the turrets cranked - but I killed with the holdoff method so that I could learn and compare. I have been impressed with the info some of the guys on this forum have shared re holdoff shooting with the R2 and figured I better get some field experience for my own info.
The B&C is not as accurate as the R2 for holdoffs. Nice even 2 MOA spaces are easy to work with - the spaces on the B&C and TDS are not uniform or simple numbers. Like its possible inspiration, the TDS reticle designed by Tom Smith, the B&C will allow fairly accurate shot placement IF the shooter does a bunch of shooting to determine where his poi's are relative to each hold-off bar. This takes time and demands that decent notes be kept - if you get detailed info it is too easily forgotten when you need it so a drop chart or card should be made up.
Although I just started shooting the B&C on a nice little Lilja-barreled 7-08, I believe I can discuss what it will do in the field since I have killed a lot of deer with the TDS back when Swarovski and Kahles introduced it. Plus I was fortunate to have an opportunity to hunt with Col. Smith and will never forget the time spent with this incredible gentleman. The B&C is based on the TDS but someone came up with the clever idea to integrate changing the magnification setting into the operatiing principal of the system. The TDS has somewhat complicated charts for determining your initial zero (factors), the B&C is simpler to work with - neither can predict where your particular rifle/cartridge combo will shoot. The range cards that I made for the TDS told me that at 400 my center of the group was perhaps four inches below the third bar, or seven inches above fourth bar at 450 or whatever - can't remember such details anymore. I have them in an Avery label making program and print out a label, then tape it to the side of the stock with a piece of wide transparent packing tape.
I believe that the wind hold-off bars are hockum, perhaps better than nothing but they cannot be expected to provide real accuracy given the varied time of flight of all the different cartridges, wind speed and angles.
Those reticles can be an aid but accurate shot placement still has to be figured out according to other factors than just distance. That takes shooting practice, and I do not believe that many guys who buy such scopes will get out and really determine what the reticles can do. On the other hand, maybe buying such a scope will be incentive for the owner to get out and shoot a bunch so that he can get some longer shot capability and confidence.
Since most hunters consider 250-300 to be the beginning of "LONG", these reticles have the potential to about double their confident shooting range if they practice a bunch and keep notes on poi. If such practice results in vital-area accuracy then the reticle will be important to successful shooting.
I wonder some times if the B&C (you can replace B&C with TDS, Ballistic Mildot, Horrus, ?8 or whatever the marketing guys come up with) might promote sloppy long shots since Bubba buys a scope with the magic bars in it, sights in at 200 or whatever the little book says and goes out and starts tossing lead at deer he would not ordinarily shoot at - "Was that the fourth bar for five hundred or the fifth bar for four hundred? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]" Guess I am saying that buying a scope equipped with the B&C or TDS or whatever little combination of circles, bars, squares, triangles, dots etc. will never make the owner a long range hunter - even tho the salesman will probably tell you that it will so that he can get a sale.
I am done holding-off on the real long shots - going back to crankin'.

Re: Boone & crocket
So basically a gimick. Without the expertise I just read, I kind of put two and two together.
So basically anybody who wants to take 500yds or more should invest in a good rangefinder to take a distance reading, and a scope that can then be dialed in to that distance, and then the hard part estimating the crosswind.
What is the technical name for the type of scope that has the adjustment knobs on the side?
I know my Leupold has 1\4 MOA adjustments, do these scopes adjust in biger increments so that you are not adjusting around and around? Can you zero these scopes in, and then have the knobs marked with distances instead of up & down MOA adjustments.
Thanks for all the rookie help.

Re: Boone & crocket
Not sure "gimmick" is a fair term, sure beats the hell out of a plain old crosshair or duplex reticle for shots past 300 yards. Bottom line for me is that the multiple aiming point reticles can offer hunting accuracy and speed of target acquisition that works, but... As I mentioned I believe that cranking is more accurate for long range field accuracy. My scopes give me a 1/4 moa when I crank on click, I cannot holdoff nearly that fine at 500 yards with a TDS or B&C. Tried it, don't work for me and I doubt that anyone else could make consistent, repeatable holdoffs with those reticles that would be as good as clicking.
There ain't no free lunch and the user has to learn about the system and how it works on his rifle. This takes shooting time in the field and notes so that a drop chart can be determined if you best accuracy. Some rifles will have their point of aim and point of impact coinciding with the range bars, dots, diamonds etc. some will be close but close is not good enough for LR hunting.
The folks who developed these reticles have accuracy, ease of use, simplicity etc. as objectives, but also hope to make a buck so some of the marketing stuff is hype. Leupold is not going to market something that is not reasonably accurate, nor would Swarovski, Kahles, Burris or others but there is only one way to determine if the thing works for you. Unfortunately that costs $ and what happens if you decide you do not like it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Do a search on turrets or scope turrets, lots of info here. Turrets are not as simple as one might believe.
You should be able to zero your Leupold and also might be able to attach Stoney Point turret type handles onto it to make adjusting easier and hopefully more precise.

Re: Boone & crocket
Good explanations, Ian.
I'm giving the Varmint Hunters' Reticle a try this year. It just works out that with my favorite load (200 AccuBond @ 3175), with the rifle zeroed at 300 (just under 3" high at 100, the zero I've been using for years) the first line will be on at 400, the second will be on at 500 and the 10 MPH wind drift marks work out to be roughly 20 MPH marks--all at the max magnification of the scope based on my prior drop data.
I haven't tried it yet, but I think it should be quick and easy to use and pretty accurate out to 500 at least. For farther, clicking the scope will naturally be more accurate. But I think it'll be nice not to have to click in the 3-500 range (most likely for me). I'll just have to see how I like it....

Racism Accusations? Donate to the NAACP
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People moved quickly in April to cancel plans to bestow a lifetime achievement award on Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers and a longtime NAACP contributor, who was caught on tape scolding a female friend for posting online photos with black friends. Many people were surprised to learn the civil rights organization ever meant to praise a man with a history of discriminating against blacks. They shouldn't have been. In 2009 the NAACP's Los Angeles chapter honored Sterling with its President's Award, shortly before he agreed to pay $2.8 million to settle federal civil charges that he unfairly treated blacks and Hispanics at L.A. apartment buildings he owns.
Sterling is one of several individuals and institutions with reputations in need of repair who've received accolades or favorable treatment from the NAACP, at times before or after large donations. At the May 15 gala where Sterling was supposed to pick up his prize, the group's L.A. chapter will honor executives from Wal-Mart Stores and FedEx, both major contributors embroiled in long-running controversies involving allegations of employment discrimination and antiunion activities. The companies deny the allegations.
The group's financial disclosures show each company gave the NAACP $200,000-$999,999 in 2011, the last year for which records are available. That year the U.S. Supreme Court backed Walmart in a major employment discrimination lawsuit brought against the company by women employees. The ruling made it harder to mount class actions alleging discrimination by employers. FedEx has settled many race discrimination claims, including a $53 million payout to truck drivers in 2007 and a $3 million settlement with ground delivery workers in 2012. The NAACP also accepted more than $1 million from Bank of America in 2011, the same year the bank agreed to pay a record $335 million in a federal lawsuit alleging predatory lending to minorities. Spokesmen for Walmart and FedEx said their companies have long supported the NAACP solely because of its good work. Bank of America didn't respond to requests for comment.
Peter Dreier, director of the urban and environmental policy department at Occidental College in Los Angeles, who wrote a recent Huffington Post article about the group's relationship with donors, says donating to the NAACP has become a painless way for corporations accused of racism to ensure a measure of sympathy, or at least silence, from the civil rights group, whose leaders rarely criticize the misbehavior of those who give it money. "The NAACP, with its glittering history of incredible activism, has become an empty shell," he says.
The NAACP isn't the only organization to spruce up big companies' reputations. "It's part of every communication specialist's playbook to align clients who have particular issues with nonprofits that are strong in those issues," says Sam Singer, a crisis communications strategist in San Francisco. At times, as with Sterling, it can backfire when the relationship between sinner and redeemer seems a little too convenient—or has the whiff of quid pro quo. Environmentalists have taken the World Wildlife Fund to task for accepting money from companies that use a lot of water and other natural resources, including Coca-Cola and Avon, then lending its respected panda logo to their corporate sustainability campaigns. The Urban League of Greater Atlanta earned the wrath of gay rights groups last fall when it honored Chick-fil-A Chief Executive Officer and donor Dan Cathy at its Equal Opportunity Day Dinner, despite Cathy's outspoken opposition to gay marriage.
The NAACP hasn't been too picky about where its donations come from. The late Benjamin Hooks, who ran the organization from 1977 to 1992, once joked that the only thing "tainted" about tobacco industry money was "there t'aint enough of it," according to tobacco industry documents from lawsuits against cigarette makers. A 2009 resolution condemning the industry for targeting blacks—who suffer an inordinate health toll from smoking—died without a floor vote at the NAACP's centennial convention, says Carol McGruder, co-chair of the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council. "When you let unethical corporations associate themselves with our organizations, it makes them look like they're doing something for our community, and they're not," McGruder says. "The harm they do to our people is not offset by their corporate giving." An NAACP spokesman says it no longer gets tobacco company funding.
The NAACP's interim president and CEO, Lorraine Miller, wrote in an e-mail that money "does not buy corporations a free pass if their actions run afoul of our mission. We do not hesitate to stand up to, speak out against or even sue our corporate contributors when we differ on an issue of civil rights."
In 2009 the NAACP did sue a contributor, Wells Fargo, over alleged predatory lending practices targeting blacks, allegations Wells Fargo denied. But the group dropped the case in 2010, saying it would instead "work constructively" with the bank. Wells Fargo announced it would donate $2.5 million a year for five years to fund an NAACP financial literacy campaign. "The more we learned about each other, the more we decided to collaborate," says Wells Fargo Senior Vice President Gigi Dixon. The federal government didn't let the bank off so easily. In 2012, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $184 million to settle allegations that it steered black borrowers into subprime loans.
The bottom line: The NAACP takes large sums from retailers and banks seeking help in sprucing up their public images.

artyfucked, 8th issue, released
Finally a new artyfucked is released! It is dedicated to the occupy movement. So it shows lots of sketches refering to those »anonymous« protests. Because this movement comes from the United States, it was logical to ask Zeitvertrieb friend Russel Howze (stencilarchive.org) to provide us with some great street art and stencil photos of his home town San Francisco. The eighth issue is named »Heft 49« (because of the 49ers football team).
Merry Christmas everyone! Zeitvertrieb wishes all of you hapiness, strength, trust, loyalty, health and good luck.

Headers and Footers?
What exactly is a header or footer?
I think that the MS Office Assistant gives the best definition for headers and footers. According to that cute little guy in the help window:
"A header or footer is text or graphics—such as a page number, the date, or a company logo—that is usually printed at the top or bottom of each page in a document. A header is printed in the top margin; a footer is printed in the bottom margin."
These little creatures, printed in the top and bottom margins, can be quite helpful.
I use headers for titles or other information that rarely changes at the top of documents. For example, you could set up a template with a company logo, address, etc. in the header. Then when you open the template, the header is in place and you can begin your letter without trying to space down below the logo and other stuff. It also reduces the chance of accidental erasure or changes to the information since you would have to specifically get into the header to make the changes.
Often I find myself using footers to record revision dates, page numbers and file names so I can find the file again.
There you go – headers and footers in a nutshell. Let's move on to the topic of accessing headers and footers.

Hi. I just bought a '02 wrx about a week ago. It's actually the first MT vehicle I've owned, though I'd say I've gotten pretty decent at driving it/getting a feel for it.
But earlier today I had an interesting problem. I was in neutral at a stoplight for a few minutes (didn't want to prematurely trash my clutch by holding it in) at a slight upward incline. The light was about to turn green, so I shift into first to get ready to pull forward and, as I tried to give it a little gas I noticed that nothing was happening. I thought, "ok, I must have stalled or something." So I tried starting it back up and... nothing. Air conditioner was still on, turn signal was still on, etc. I kept trying to turn it over, but it was almost like the starter was dead or something 'cause I couldn't hear anything from the engine. Eventually I got it going and, as I started to pull away, I noticed the engine rpm very quickly jumped way up through 1st and 2nd gear (not redline or anything, but around 4-5k). After that little fiasco, it seems to be driving fine.
I got the car pretty much stock from a used car dealership with just under 52k miles. Carfax came back clean. The only mods are a carbon fiber hood, shifting knob, and clifford security system. I haven't taken it in for service yet as I'm waiting for financing to get finalized before I do (I put in a pretty decent down payment -- I'm just financing a small portion of the balance).
Any ideas what could have caused the problem? I haven't stalled it since the first day I got it, let alone on a small incline like that. I've stopped on much steeper hills than that with no problems whatsoever. I don't drive it hard. I really like this car and it's the only vehicle I have at the moment to get me to and from work/school.

Hello and thanks very much. I'm glad the post was of interest.
Best to all.
Shot placement is SO much more important than caliber.
That is a fact.
In a shootout where you and the badguy are both moving and trying to KILL each other, shot placement is the first thing that goes out the window.
In a combat situation, the ability to accurately "place" shots is very difficult to do. Sure...anyone can shoot the center out of a B29 silhouetter and think that they are good to go, but the reality of is that when someone is shooting at you "shot placement" is way down the list of things to do. :eek:
Ahh shoot! I wanted to say that! :wink:Quote:

Main reason I don't carry it more is that I don't like shooting it as much as the BHP, therefore I'm not as good with it as the Browning, and I have yet to find a good CCW holster that works well for me. (Using a Fobus paddle for now, works OK, but I prefer IWB, which is a little harder for a wheelgun than an auto)
ka0axs - for that J frame you want a rig like I have for SP-101 - made by Kevin of K&D Holsters. It's OWB hi-ride belt slide - keeps gun in real tight. If you need a pic holler and I'll post one later.
Bruces45 has one also now.
Thanks guys, I'll check it out. It sure is purdy.
Update: Which model is that? The Eagle Defender?
This one caught my eye and figure I answer it. For a good many years I carried a 1911A1(military) with a Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub in an ankle holster. The last year in the military the M9 was being issued and was told I would have to use it and turn in my 45,that was my first dealings with a 9mm. When I left the military and worked as a LEO I carried a Smith & Wesson Model 58 on duty & 57 (custom snub) off duty and a Smith & Wesson Model 60 as a back up. I was fine with that set up till the bosses told me I had to be certified with an auto. Glocks were just coming out and I hated some plastic thingy on my belt, so went out looking for a new 1911 and ended up with a Delta Elite 10mm. Thats is what I used when I was a LEO and as a CCW till 2000.After being injuried and medically retired I had a slow but steady problem shooting large bores to the point it was dang painful to shoot more than 200 rounds. As a result I started looking at something smaller and tried the 40 Smith & Wesson and 9 mms.2001 I finally went out and bought a Kahr MK40 and it was great to carry but still a pain to shoot for me then went to a K40 and it was better but still wasn't impressed with how I shot the 40. I ended up in 2001 also buying a Kahr E9 and I shoot that thing all day long with no problems and I very accurate with it. SHoorting the 9 helped me get better with the K40 but I always seem to put the E9 on the belt when I getting dressed. I always believed in shot placement and it has worked for me. I have used all the calibers except the 40 Smith & Wesson in actully shootings. Between doing alot of praticing and getting myself back in shape I have gotten to the point where I can shoot my 1911s or 41s again but with the work I do now and the requirments of being 100% concealled when working the Kahr works for me. I recently picked up a ParaCarry LDA and that is one hellva sweet gun but till I get some more range time with it I won't carry it.
In my opinion if you can't shoot it accurately everytime then it don't matter what you carry because a miss is still a miss. And as far as a reload I carry one extra on me be it a wheel gun(Model 60) or a spare mag. I usally use the Kahr E9 or the Smith & Wesson Model 60 as my main carry guns and feel fine with them. If I need more firepower than that then I will start carrying a shotgun or a rifle. Just my $.02
Excellent rationale Tony - that was 2c and plenty of change - thx :smile:
Although I carry a rather weighty 4" 1911 Commander that I've shot a lot, I was recently impressed by a Kimber Ultra CDP one of my students purchased from me and brought to an advanced class. It was cloverleafing the center of the target at 10 yds when we did our part. At 25 oz and small, firing 230 Hydra Shoks (7+1) I think this may be one of the best power to weight and size ratios going.
Remember the saw "Beware the man with one gun. He probably knows how to use it." I think we should beware the man with a single stack mag. He'll probably make the best use of it.
Trust your training, not your tools.
gunthorp, Here comes the --- caliber vs. mag capacity vs. how many extra mags/rds do you carry, thing. I am in total agreement with your above statement ref. the man with the single stack mag. (So was the gunners guru(ya'll remember him) when he first said,"spray and pray".) That also,I believe, is one of the reasons that the Beretta took the place of the Colt. The Colt didn't seem to have enough firepower according to the untrained shooter(both military and politician). Cooper was very vocal about the type and amount of training that the servicemen were recieving prior to being issued a .45. There are alot of statements that Cooper has made that I don't agree with,but his feeling about the .45 always made alot of sense to me. The double stack 12-17 shot mags have never been desired by me. I have a friend that carries over 40 rds in mags and weapon. That is not for me. 7+1 and one more 7 is all that I can imagine that I'll ever need. If I find myself in a situation that I need more than that,I should have brought my carbine to this gunfight.---------
Winning relies both on training and tools; they are inseparable. Would one rappel without confidence in his tools? Sky dive? No amount of training will make up for tool failure. No amount of "tool" will make up for training failure.
I'd take 15 - 18 rounds of 9mm over 8 - 9 rounds of .45 any day of the week. If I had a task a 9mm wouldn't/couldn't solve, my next choice wouldn't be a .45 with fewer rounds because it likely woudn't solve the problem either.
I just read a report of a guy who has been in LE for something like 30 years and over those years he studied bullet performance in an attempt to see which bullets work the best. All he could conclude after years of study and research, was that everytime he found a bullet that performed really well, there would be a similar incident where the same bullet failed.
Ernst Langdon related another study to me that was yet another attempt to determine the best performing bullet and caliber. The result? Inconclusive. But the study did reveal something interesting. They discovered that LEOs that survied gunfights fired an average of six shots.
Dont't start with me, you know how I get:)
Firepower / weight & size is one thing. Stopping power is quite another. It's shot placement and enough penetration. The 380 in Kel-Tec's P3-AT will do the job with one shot. A Barrett won't with a flesh wound. The 9 is more than enough, the 45 is better, but more fun time on the range. When we talk micro guns, we talk more training. Haven't heard much talk about Hi Points etc, so I know we're using the good tools. Reading the posts I get the feeling I'm in the company of the company I would want to be in when the situation goes south (no offense to Col Sanders.)
After 28 shots were fired, in the debriefing, asked why that many, they responded, "That's all we had."
Well said, gunthorp!

New York Mets (53-53) at Atlanta (60-45), 7:10 p.m. EDT Sports.com Line: Atlanta -140, Total: 8
The Mets and Braves continue their three-game series at Turner Field tonight. The Mets are just 5-13 since the All-Star break and have lost 21 of their last 31 overall. After getting swept at Citi Field in April, the Braves have won four of the last six games vs. the Mets this season, and are a major-league best 35-13 at home.With a loss today the Mets will continue their streak of not winning a road series this season vs. an NL opponent. Going back to last season, the Mets have only won one road series vs. an NL opponent since June of 2009. NFL Scores
R.A. Dickey (7-4, 2.32 ERA) will go against Derek Lowe (10-9, 4.58 ERA) tonight. Dickey has perhaps been the Mets' most consistent starter since the AS break as he has pitched to a 1.29 ERA in his last four starts, and enters this game with a streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings pitched.
Lowe has pitched poorly in his last 6 starts going 1-4 with a 5.03 ERA. He is 0-2 vs. the Mets this season. Basketball Lines
The fact that the Braves are favored by as much as they are despite Lowe's recent struggles is an indication of just how woeful the Mets have been on the road. Also factor in the following Fox Sheets nugget: NFL Lines
Road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (NY METS) with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 2.70 or better on the season (NL), starting a pitcher who gave up <=2 earned runs in his last 2 outings are 89-50 over the last 5 seasons. 64.0% (38.1 units).

Revenge of the Sauvignon Swashbuckler
Set sail for terror... and also wine.
He's been after us for seven fortnights now. We have no one to blame but ourselves, of course. We dined with Cap'n Clif, the Sauvignon Swashbuckler. We'd hoped to hear from him of fine new islands ripe with wonderful new grapes, but our hubris got the better of us. In our haste to impress him, we forgot his reputation. Cap'n Clif burned and thieved for wine, not riches. And no great wine was truly safe from his hooked hand or his Jolly Rodger themed sippy cup.
We began things well enough, with our Climber Red blend, but even that was a risk. Clif is known for his love of Sauvignon, and one of the five varietals in the blends was indeed that very Cabernet. Perhaps he realized, for there was a glimmer in his eye when he took his first sip. But he hid it well.
"'Tis a fine brew. I detect a blend, beneath ye cherries and blackberries. But your blasted Zinfandel beguiles me palette; I cannae place the blend." He tipped his massive hat, adorned as it was with grapes and corks about the brim. We began to feel confident, and our brave captain became bolder, pressuring the Wine Pirate for tales of new lands and grapes. Tales which he happily shared, probably because he didn't believe we'd live long enough to benefit from it. It was then we made our mistake, serving him our Sauvignon Blanc in a fit of bravado and camaraderie.
His eyes lit up as his nose inhaled the first faint whiff of honeydew. Once his tongue took in the crisply acidic aftertaste, and the hint of citrus, he loosed his scimitar and ordered his men to sac our cellars. We fought bravely, but our blood spilled along with our cheap Pinots. He drank both with a reckless savoy faire and the look of an impossibly debonair savage. Seven of us died to toss him overboard, but we have no doubt that he was picked up shortly after by his mighty galleon The Port Buster which now pursues us day and night. He will catch us, and he will kill us.
I only hope we can finish the wine before he does.

Phillip Slein Gallery
Saint Louis, Missouri
With the Mind: Photographs by Anne Deniau is presented at the Philip Slein Gallery as part of the A Queen Within exhibition at the World Chess Hall of Fame. The gallery is pleased to announce the first U.S. exhibition of Parisian photographer Anne Deniau opening Wednesday, October 16th from 6-8 pm.
Deniau was a close friend and confidant of fashion designer and artist Alexander McQueen. For 13 years she was the only photographer granted access to the designer's studio and backstage of his runway shows. Deniau recently released a stunning book of over 400 photographs of the designer and his work, Love Looks Not with the Eyes, a selection of which will be on view at the Slein Gallery. The exhibition takes its title from the Shakespeare quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream, "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind" that the designer had tattooed on his arm. Sarah Burton, Creative Director at Alexander McQueen says, "There is a beauty, strength and fragility in everything Anne is doing."
In addition, please join us for a book signing at Saks Fifth Avenue on Saturday, October 19th at 11am.

They are set apart – driven internally by a purpose greater than their individual Selves. Without much personal effort, they find their contributions to a particular task or event as touched in a manner that causes those around them to marvel at the gift they possess. The gift is called "divine" – is that the right word? Be it mental, physical or spiritual prowess, specific experiences – usually at an early age – shape these individuals differently from their friends and family. Such gifted persons see solutions when all others are struggling to fully articulate the details of the problem.

Brad Mehldau Replaces Andre Previn at Blue Note Jazz Club, 6/6-8
Pianist Brad Mehldau will replace pianist André Previn at Blue Note Jazz Club, Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, as part of the 2014 Blue Note Jazz Festival. Previn was initially scheduled to perform with bassist Christian McBride during that time frame and has had to postpone the engagement due to unforeseen circumstances.
Mehldau and McBride will now present the world premiere of a rare duo collaboration, billed as "Brad Mehldau & Christian McBride" (produced by Jill Newman Productions). Mehldau and McBride share a rich history (dating back to their prolific work together as part of saxophonist Joshua Redman's quartet in the 1990s); however this marks a special engagement for the two musicians. The Previn-McBride duo collaboration will be rescheduled at a future date, to be determined.
One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique path, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism, and pop allure. From critical acclaim as a bandleader and solo artist to major international exposure in collaborations with Pat Metheny, Anne Sofie von Otter, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Renee Fleming, Britten Sinfonia, and Joshua Redman, Mehldau continues to garner numerous awards and admiration from both jazz purists and music enthusiasts alike. His forays into melding musical idioms, in his trio (with Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums) and solo settings, has seen brilliant re-workings of songs by contemporary songwriters like The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, George and Ira Gershwin, and Nick Drake, alongside the ever evolving breadth of his own significant catalogue of original compositions. With his affection for popular music and classical training, Mehldau has become "universally admired as one of the most adventurous pianists to arrive on the jazz scene in years (Los Angeles Times)."

There appears to be trouble down at the Iranian corral because one day after the big boss, Ayatollah Khamenei made clear that he had no intention of discussing anything with the United States, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offered the open hand of negotiations. The Iranian president admitted that things were not proceeding very well in his nation due to sanctions and it had created an "uneasy situation." A key point raised by Ahmadinejad was that Iran WAS going to attain a nuclear program. "You pull away the gun from the face of the Iranian nation and I will enter talks with you." So, what does this all mean?
1. Ahmadinejad is openly in conflict with Ayatollah Khamenei
2. It is possibly a ploy such as the famous, "good guy, bad guy" approach.
3. Ahmadinejad is leaving office so what the heck, go out with a last shot.
4. Ahmadinejad wants to challenge Khamenei for power.

Mass Evangelism
April 17, 2008 by 2 Comments
There was a Protestant publishing company in England that used to produce smart publicity materials that you could buy for your parish events. They would do overprinting–putting your details into their nice artwork. They had rules though. You weren't allowed to use the word 'Mass' in any of your publicity materials because they couldn't be seen to be supporting Catholicism.
I was always tempted to order some posters for a 'Mass Evangelistic Rally' to see what response I would get. Anyhow, in this day of the 'mega-church' it is healthy to see the Catholic Church lay on some big events for the Pope. Call me triumphalistic, but I think we need to remind the world that the Catholic Church is still 'the big old one'. Apparently the organizers of today's Papal Mass said there was twice the demand for the number of available tickets.
The size of the crowd is secondary, of course, to what it means. The crowds mean there are still an awful lot of faithful, enthusiastic and committed Catholics in the USA and worldwide. No other single celebrity, sports star, politician or world leader can draw such numbers and command such respect. Certainly there is no other religious leader who can do so.
Thank God for his Son Jesus Christ, his Church, the Apostle Peter on which that church is founded, and his successor Benedict XVI.
