ITEM#: 14860244Al Feldstein is best known as the main writer/editor of the EC comics line during the first half of the 1950sand then the editor of Mad Magazine for the first three decades of its existence. But what many dont know or remember is that Feldstein was also an accomplished and distinctive cartoonist, whose comics (which he both wrote and drew, a relative rarity in those days) adorned the pages of many of those self same EC comics. His powerfully composed, meticulously inked pages, often featuring grotesque creatures or scenes of ghastly destruction (and some of the greatest stiffly handsome/beautiful specimens of 1950s humanity ever put to paper), were a vital part of the allure of these classic comics. Feldsteins contributions to the first year and a half of ECs two SF titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasycomprising 16 classic O. Henry-style shock-ending stories with such evocative, vintage title as Things From Outer Space. The Flying Saucer Invasion, Spawn of Venus, Destruction of the Earth, and Am I Man or Machine?will be collected in their integrity in this volume, which will also boast a new interview with Feldstein about his years at EC, focusing in particular in his work on these science fiction titles that were the companys pride and joy (and were killed a few years later by the Comics Code).

Pirates win after video review rules Marte safe at home in 9th
If Starling Marte was not a fan of instant replay, he is now.
"Yeah. Sometimes I like it," Marte said. Then he laughed.
A video replay review worked well for the Pirates in the ninth inning Tuesday, when an out call at home plate was reversed and became a walkoff win. Marte scored the winning run in a taut, 2-1 victory against the San Francisco Giants.
With two outs, Marte whacked a fastball from Giants right-hander Tim Hudson off the Clemente Wall in right field for a triple.
"I knew I hit it very good," Marte said. "When I saw the ball hit the wall, that's when I (decided) to go for third base."
Second baseman Ehire Adrianza made a strong relay throw to third baseman Pablo Sandoval, but Marte kicked the ball out of Sandoval's glove and it rolled into foul territory.
"There was a lot of yelling going on," third base coach Nick Leyva said.
For an instant, Marte wondered if he'd been tagged out at third. Then, he heard Leyva screaming for him to run home.
Sandoval scrambled to the ball and threw to the plate. Buster Posey caught it and slapped a tag as Marte slid home. Umpire Quinn Wolcott called Marte out.
"I thought I was safe," Marte said. "My hand touched the plate before the tag."
So did manager Clint Hurdle.
"We have a challenge, so even if it's a thumbs down, I have to roll the dice there," Hurdle said. "It looked to me like maybe he stayed in. I didn't know for sure."
The Pirates challenged, and a video replay review overturned the call.
Marte celebrated, fireworks were fired and the Giants walked off in stunned silence.
"It's a strange feeling," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "You have a euphoric feeling when he calls him out. A couple of minutes later, it's a downer."
Hudson, who went the distance and allowed only five hits, said he didn't like MLB's expanded replay system in the first place.
"It is what it is," Hudson said. "We have to accept the stuff that comes with it. We just happened to be on the wrong end of a call tonight, and it cost us the ballgame. It's frustrating. It's tough. It was a close play."
Players in both clubhouses watched replays after the game. The Giants, understandably, were not sold on the decision.
"To me, it's a little inconclusive whether my hand is on his chest before he hits the plate or not," Posey said. "That's just what I saw."
Tony Watson (3-0), who relieved starter Charlie Morton to start the ninth, picked up the win.
Although Morton wasn't able to notch his first victory, the right-hander kept the game close by avoiding the big, troublesome inning that has dogged him all season.
Morton fired first-pitch strikes to the first 13 batters he faced. He had three-ball counts on just six of 30 batters in the game.
"I've done really well on first-pitch strikes this year," Morton said. "What I haven't done well is put guys away or get the out in crucial situations."
Working eight innings, Morton gave up one unearned run on three hits, walked two and struck out three.
"I'm always looking for that kind of start," Morton said. "I'm glad to have helped out."
Both teams scored a run in the second inning.
Brandon Belt reached on an infield single, stole second base and went to third on catcher Tony Sanchez's throwing error. Belt scored on Adrainza's sacrifice fly.
With one out in the bottom of the inning, Marte got an infield single, went to third base on Ike Davis' single and scored on Sanchez's ground out.

A divider put up in the living room gave Michelle and Craig their own rooms.
For a guy who styled himself as a uniter, not a divider, the nonpartisan legacy looks a little thin.
At the rear end of the park is a wall or divider maybe six or seven feet high and about twice that wide.
"I got jerked both ways in the car, hit my head on the divider, and then hit my legs on the side of the car," he says.
In death, as in life, he remained the divider of his people.
Use knife only as a divider, the fork to take food to the mouth.
Our ancestor called the earth's satellite the "moon," or "measurer," because it served him as a divider of time.
It must have at the end of its knife a curved arm—a divider.
A curse on Woman the divider, and all the curses of all the gods upon this woman whom I may not give to you.
And he said unto him, 'Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?'
1520s, agent noun from divide (v.). Meaning "partition or screen," especially in a room, is from 1959.

WELLINGTON (AFP) Jan 06, 2005
New Zealanders complaining about unseasonal summer rain in recent weeks have received proof of changing climatic conditions after icebergs were sighted in local waters for the first time since 1948.
The icebergs were see in the Southern Ocean, about 700 kilometresmiles) southeast of the South Island, the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) said Thursday.
They were a hazard to all shipping, including yachts participating in the Vendeeglobe solo round-the-world race, officials said.
The Vendeeglobe website has issued a warning to competitors after one sailor sustained minor damage to his boat when he hit an iceberg just before Christmas.
NIWA scientist Lionel Carter said 15 icebergs, some up to three kilometres wide, have been recorded.
"In 30 years of working for NIWA, this is the first time I have recorded sightings of icebergs in New Zealand waters," Carter said.
Previous reportings were in the 1890s, early 1920s, 1930s and in 1948.
In 1931 icebergs were seen as far north as near Dunedin in the South Island.
He said it was too soon to blame this flotilla of ice on global warming, although the coincidence of large collapses of the Antarctic ice shelves with a rapidly changing climate could not be dismissed.
The icebergs were expected to drift away towards South America.

Community complaints initiate Southern Humboldt Maximum Enforcement Operation
GARBERVILLE- The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is cracking down on rampant drug activity. Over the last two days, eight have been arrested associated with narcotic sales.
The arrests were part of a maximum enforcement operation. Ten officers with the drug task force and sheriff's office took part. Fredrick Hoss, John Armstrong, Cari Barker, and Kelly Winters were arrested at the Lone Pine Motel in Garberville after officers found one pound of marijuana, two ounces of suspected methamphetamine and $70,000 in cash.
A juvenile was present at the time and taken into child welfare services protective custody. Hoss is being charged with possession of marijuana, conspiracy to commit a crime, and child endangerment. The drug task force is also requesting an additional charge of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of sales. John Armstrong, Cari Barker, and Kelly Winters were booked for possession of marijuana for sales and conspiracy to commit a crime.
Meanwhile, outside the Johnston Motel officers located a loaded Glock .40 caliber handgun suspected heroin and other drug paraphernalia on Bruce Findlay he was booked for being in possession of a concealed firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, illegal possession of ammunition, and probation violation.
Hannah Hayne, Daniel Dobbs, and Scott Fowler were also arrested during the two day operation.
The sheriff's office says the recent sweep follows a Southern Humboldt town hall meeting about the issue and an increase in community complaints.
"It's whatever the need is for the county and right now the need is Garberville," Lt. Wayne Hanson with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said. "The complaints are coming in more in Garberville than anywhere else in the county regarding blatant narcotics sales. We have a lot of anonymous citizens describing who the suspects are but when our agents went down there and our officers, it's more than just what's being told to us. It's rampant drug sales in downtown Garberville so we're going to be back."

| HiddenFromYou chapter 1 . 11/27/2010
This is truly beautiful, heart felt piece. I love the emotion as it comes across well and really paints a lovely picture.
I also like that each of the actions matches the person doing it, as it's obvious you didn't simple randomly match actions to people as you thought of them.

| simpleplan13 chapter 1 . 11/26/2010
I like this. It's really sweet. I like the metaphor here. You carry it through the piece really well. I also like your take on thanksgiving. It's done a lot and can be really cliched, but I think you did a good job here of making a great poetic piece that works with thanksgiving, but isn't cliched or sappy. Well done.

For Immediate Release
Five Honored for Outstanding Service to Education, Advancement
WASHINGTON, D.C-The Council for Advancement and Support of Education today announced the 2010 recipients of its five Distinguished Service Awards.
This annual program honors individuals and organizations for extraordinary service to education and the field of educational advancement, which includes alumni relations, fundraising, communications and marketing.
CASE will recognize the winners at a luncheon on Monday, July 19, in conjunction with the CASE Summit for Advancement Leaders in New York City.
According to CASE President John Lippincott, "This year's winners stand as exemplars for those who believe in helping educational institutions fulfill their missions and in making a real difference in the lives of the students they serve."
"Included among this year's winners," Lippincott said, "are a pioneering fundraiser who has helped shape the profession and has mentored a new generation of professionals; a visionary foundation that has enabled tens of thousands of deserving students to complete their degrees; a university alumna who has devoted three decades and logged untold miles in support of her alma mater; a leader in independent school marketing who has been an indefatigable volunteer with CASE; and an enlightened corporate leader who has supported scholarships and business programs at both universities and community colleges."
The 2010 CASE Distinguished Service Awards winners are:
Curtis R. Simic, recipient of the CASE Lifetime Achievement Award. Simic has been a leading figure in educational advancement for nearly 50 years.

Today, Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, the proud daughter of a World War II veteran, issued the following statement applauding President Obama's address at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Reno. Congresswoman Berkley was unable to attend the VFW Convention due to previously scheduled votes in Washington.
"I'm proud to welcome President Obama back to Reno, and applaud his address today at the 113th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The President and I both believe that our country's commitment to those who serve their country in our armed forces must be unwavering and enduring. Whether it is fighting to make sure those that return from the battlefield have access to good-paying jobs, the care and treatment they've earned, or the ability to go back to school and further their education, our commitment to Nevada veterans must never cease."

Wrestling Program Nabs Fourth State Champion
"I believe Butch could be a real 'sleeper'," commented Castro. "He has been flying under the radar, which served to our advantage. Butch has some impressive credentials behind him, and more importantly, I believe his best wrestling is yet to come."
Whitaker comes to Liberty after posting an impressive .827 winning percentage at Redmond High School in Redmond, Ore. Wrestling in three different weight classes (152, 160 and 171), the Beaver State native tallied a 134-28 record, including a 51-win season as a junior.
Whitaker opened his career by recording a 25-8 mark at 152 pounds. During his rookie year on the wrestling mat for the Panthers, he finished third at the NHSCA Middle School/Freshman National Tournament.
The following year, Whitaker moved up to 160 pounds, finishing with a 23-10 mark. He won his district title and finished sixth at the state championship.
During his final two seasons at Redmond, Whitaker wrestled at 171 pounds. As a junior, he posted an impressive 51-6 record, finishing second at the state championship and fifth at the NHSCA Junior Nationals. The grappler capped off the remarkable season by claiming a national title in the weight class at the AAU Nationals, helping him finish the year ranked No. 19 among national high school wrestlers.
The pinnacle achievement of Whitaker's high school career came as a senior. The wrestler claimed the Oregon 6A state title, completing his senior year with a 35-4 overall record.
A versatile athlete, Whitaker was also an all-league linebacker for Redmond's football program, while graduating with a 3.25 GPA.
Whitaker joins two-time AAA Virginia state champion Joe Pantaleo (130 pounds), three-time Virginia state champion Sam Rakes (152 pounds) and AAAA Alaska state champion Andrew Wilson (215 pounds) on next year's signing class for the two-time defending NCAA East Regional champion Flames.

Darwen Aldridge Community Academy (DACA) recently hosted the Blackburn and Darwen Year 3/4 Key Steps Gymnastics competition. Key Steps is the format designed by British Gymnastics and involves three disciplines; Floor, Vault and Body Management. As part of the competition there were two separate sections – a team and an individual format. Mixed teams of five and individuals competed to qualify for the Spar Lancashire School Games in Blackpool in July.
An impressive 14 teams and eight individuals took part this year – more than double the number who were involved last year. "The standard on display was very high and it was clear to see schools had spent weeks preparing for the competition," said School Games Organiser Andrew Mercer.
Participants were scored by judges from Blackburn & Darwen Acrobatic Gymnastics Club on all three disciplines with the top for scores counting in the team competition. St James Lower Darwen finished third with a score of 90.93 points, St Paul's Feniscowles were a close second with 92.95 points and the 2014 team champions were St Gabriel's with an impressive total of 93.45 points.
The individual competition is designed for those who regularly train at a Gymnastics club for two or more hours a week. "It was clear to see how many hours practice those involved in this format had completed as the stand was very high," added Mercer.
Brooke Whittle continued St Gabriel's success by finishing third with a score of 24.1 points, William Duffy from Avondale finished second with 24.25 points and Joshua Brown made it an Avondale 'one-two' with a score of 24.50 to be crowned Blackburn and Darwen Champion 2014. Joshua, William and Brooke will all progress to the Spar Lancashire School Games finals to represent the Borough in July.
Mercer said: "It was great to see around 80 Children involved in this year's competition, more than double the number who attended last year. "Some schools have used their Sports Premium funding to bring specialist Gymnastics coaches into school, and the impact they have had was visible at the competition. "I would like to say Thank You to DACA for allowing us to use their facilities and to coaches from BwD Acro Gym Club who helped organise and run the competition. "I would like to wish pupils from St Gabriel's and Avondale the best of look when the go to Blackpool for the Spar Lancashire School Games.
"I'm sure they will do the Borough proud."

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 22.0184 Wednesday, 3 August 2011
Date: August 1, 2011 1:11:42 PM EDT
Subject: Shakespeare Inside-out British Shakespeare Association Conference 2012
Shakespeare Inside-out: Depth-Surface-Meaning
British Shakespeare Association
10th Anniversary Conference
24-26 February 2012
Conference programme includes performances of Much Ado About Nothing (Lancaster Castle) and Love's Labour's Lost (Northern Broadsides); academic speakers Professor Jean E. Howard; Professor R. S. White; Professor Stuart Sillars; Professor Andrew Gurr; theatre, teaching workshops and panels with Barrie Rutter (Northern Broadsides); John Russell Brown; directors, designers, actors (Demi-Paradise productions)
Shakespeare's texts produce meaning by turning insides out. We are drawn into the plays and poems from the outside through surfaces: books, screens, words, objects, costumes, the surfaces of actors' faces and bodies, retellings or adaptations, teaching spaces and theatres, and via our experiences of immediate effects like music, laughter, tears, movement. The texts, meanwhile, turn deep human questions, emotions, subjectivities outwards by projecting them as words and performance. This conference will ask how the relationship between surface and depth operates in Shakespeare's work. How does it function in different types of performance practice from live theatre to film? In the traces of the past that have come down to us? And in our practices as teachers and critics? The conference will explore 'the deep value of surfaces' (Shusterman), the dynamic relationship between surface and depth across a range of practices: reading, watching, editing, teaching, performing.
Areas we might address include:
How are emotions represented, invoked and experienced in and through Shakespeare's texts?
How do superficial artefacts used in performance or printing such as costume and props, illustrations, type, decorations, bookcovers act as 'talismans' for different kinds of engagement with Shakespeare?
How do rituals and ceremonies in Shakespeare work as superficial orderings of emotion and violence?
Do Shakespeare's texts offer 'deeper' rewritings of source texts or do the inter-textual relationships themselves deserve more in-depth study than they have received to date?
How do adaptations or retellings of Shakespeare act as gateways to and from the texts?
Does music in Shakespearean performances add depth or is it the 'icing on the cake'?
How much deeper can we dig behind the fairly sparse documentation of early modern theatre practices - playing and watching?
Do pedagogical preferences for 'deep' rather than 'surface' learning apply equally well to the teaching of Shakespeare?
Does learning about Shakespeare happen on an immediately-measurable level or at more intangible cognitive, affective and spiritual levels?
Is it possible (or even desirable) to quantify what goes on as the result of a performance, a film, a teaching session?

Professor of Renaissance Drama

Comfy Cape by Katherine Vaughan

Comfy Cape
This pattern is available for $5.00 USD buy it now
Shawls and capes are such comfort clothes, with their gentle drape and ease of both wear and creation. However, many shawls are created in a triangle shape… which for those of us with (ahem) derrières isn't the most flattering of looks. Who wants an arrow pointing right at their largest body part?
This cape/shawl was designed to have a simple silhouette and construction while also allowing for a gentle curve around the back. This is a nearly infinitely customizable pattern: multiple options exist for closures, and the more adventurous knitter is encouraged to play with stitch patterns and lace borders in the main stockinette sections.
Many thanks to pattern tester Moilulu for help!

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
They Didn't Know is a voyeur site featuring photos and videos captured by hidden camera. The girls had no idea that they were being recorded, as they masturbated in the dressing room or fooled around with their boyfriend in the dark alley. The site is part of the Teen Mega World network which members also get access to, all for a discount price of $20 a month.
These are all sexy hidden camera scenes featuring girls masturbating and having sex, with no idea there's a camera capturing their every move. The guys are spying on their neighbors, their roommates, even their sisters, and the girls are caught in the act playing with themselves and fucking. The recordings take place in bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, and right on the street. These appear to be original scenes that you won't find anywhere else.
Some HD content.
I was impressed to find actual high definition videos on a site with hidden camera videos. These scenes play at up to 4000k and are 1280 x 720. They're surprisingly sharp for videos in this genre!
Other Good Stuff:
Small video collection.
They Didn't Know has just 44 scenes online. Each one is around 20 minutes long. With no photos as back up content, it won't take long to see the whole collection at all.
No recent updates.
The last new video was added three years ago. Before then, updates were rolling along at a good pace. They stopped suddenly and there's no indication they'll pick back up again.
Minor Negatives:
Some hot voyeur hardcore action but no updates coming.
They Didn't Know had so much potential. With exclusive niche scenes captured in HD, they really have a solid collection started. Unfortunately, with no updates in years they've left us with too few scenes to actually enjoy. The saving grace is the network access and discount price. I could actually see joining the site in spite of the update issues because of those bonuses. However, the site could be a whole lot more if they got updates rolling again.

What is A auto tanner and what does it do?????

This response submitted by John C on 10/4/99. ( ) 220.127.116.11
It has been covered in the earlier post. Good luck John C
This response submitted by Rusty on 10/6/99. ( email@example.com ) 126.96.36.199
The Auto Tanner is a small rotating drum that has internal baffles. The drum itself is made of heavy corrosin-resistant material that is solid and built extremely well. Prep the capes, place in the tanner and...here's the unique part...pressurize the assembly. It is a little more detailed than that but I love the machine.
Additionally there are several other posts concerning it's use and a few hints and tips concerning it's use. Good Luck.

There are also many reminiscences of Horace, Ovid, and Propertius.
In this way Propertius fulfilled his promise to Maecenas, iii.
Propertius dismissed him angrily, and held the letter in an unwilling and shaking hand.
He is now professor at Shelborough University and is editing Propertius.
Professor Dalzell also notes the abrupt change of audience; typical of Propertius, this is a very unusual procedure in Ovid.
The three chief elegists are Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid.
The remarks about the indifference of Propertius to natural scenery are most unjust.
Like other Roman poets, Propertius is professedly an imitator of the Greeks.
Propertius had put this distich in an elegy in which he narrated a nocturnal promenade between Rome and Tibur.
Tacitus assures us it was the same with the Teutons, Propertius with the Romans.

Is there any chance that Filius Flitwick meant that Baruffio said s instead of f in the words swish and flick; Swish and slick?? --Danniesen 19:35, January 2, 2012 (Denmark)
- Considering "swish and flick" is a wand movement, not an incantation, no. -- 1337star (Owl Post) 18:40, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
- By the point Flitwick mentions Baruffio, he is tutoring the students on the importance of the correct pronunciation of a spell's incantation, so I'd say "swish and slick" is unlikely. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:16, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Is it possible, given that "Wizard" is capitalised, that it is his given name? Wizard Baruffio? --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 19:45, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
- No, that would be very bizarre. I think it was just oddly being used as a sort of title. Besides, it was "the Wizard Baruffio," not "Wizard Baruffio." ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:27, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Cardio Rehab Program gave me a new zest for life
February 6, 2013
Special kudos to the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital's Cardio Rehab Program and the wonderful nurses who run it.
After open-heart surgery and a five-way bypass at 81 years, I felt sentenced to a life of inactivity. Their wonderful program of exercise and relaxation for 75 minutes, three times a week for three months has given me a new zest for life and the body to implement it. This outstanding program is supported by a series of Heart Smart education classes followed by a very open and fruitful Q-and-A session.
The kindness and compassion shown by the staff is exceeded only by its competency.

A severe hairdo can clash with a flouncy dress for example, as also will a snug cocktail dress with holiday styles of luxurious curls. The stars that make an instant impact on the red carpets and catwalks and leave you nodding in awe will usually have carefully crafted their looks and taken pains to see that everything holds together very well.
Just in case you fail to get to a hairstylist before the big party, go for simplicity. A chignon is easy to do and it can look good on just about anyone with the exception when the hair is tightly drawn back, then it can sometimes unflatteringly accentuate your facial features, especially for those with wide faces, or those that are thin or long.
For a long face, the workaround to this is to sweep a few bangs across the top of the face; or you could pull out a few wisps of hair at the sides and create curls or waves on them. To give a wide face a slim outline you need to create a bit of height at the top, or pull a few tufts at the back and let them fall gracefully down the neck.
The other hairdo that looks great on those with longer faces is the one in which the hair is drawn loosely to one side and gathered into a bun, with a few wisps hanging free and curled. To balance things out, and for framing the face, some hair has to be pulled out on the side opposite to the bun.
All these looks will positively stand out as holiday hair if you can weave some eye-catching accents through the bun or chignon. You can choose to use ribbons whose colors complement your outfit, or strands of fake pearls, or fine fabric spun from gold or taffeta or chiffon.
You can choose to make your own hair accessories, or you can simply pay a visit to a few stores that sell its-bitsy items or, on the contrary, statement hair accessories that will turn your hairdo into something spectacular to look at. Just make sure you don't exaggerate. Always choose accessories that compliment your holiday hair style, and stay away from over-sparkling or over-designed hair decorations that would turn your hairdo into a messy conflict of elements.
Going through all these holiday hair styles doesn't seem to match with your short hair? Then make it big! Wear a headband with a bold flamboyant color, for a red dress wear emerald green or for a black dress wear metallic gold and then fluff out the hair at the back of the headband and set it in curls. Then you can really expect to make heads turn.

White tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), are found throughout Massachusetts including on the islands Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Deer are found throughout Massachusetts. Usually found in rural or suburban areas, they occasionally show up in cities.
Deer usually seek out forest-edge habitats or thickets intermixed with glades, wetlands, or abandoned pastures. They have adapted easily to the fragmented forests typical of most suburban residential areas. In fact, deer densities are often higher in suburban areas than in rural areas because of the abundance of supplemental foods, including landscaping plants.
White-tailed deer have long, slender legs; large ears; and a tail that, when the deer is alarmed, flares erect to reveal the white underside for which the animal is named. They belong to the Cervidae (deer family), which includes elk, moose, caribou, mule deer, and many others. White-tails can reach a total length of approximately 6 feet and a height of approximately 3 feet.
White tailed deer are smaller than most people realize; attaining a total length of about 71 inches and a height of about 39 inches. Weight depends upon age, sex, and physical condition of the animal and upon the quality and quantity of food available to the deer. Bucks (male deer) generally range in weight from 100-250 lbs. whereas does (female deer) are somewhat lighter at 70-150 lbs. In addition to their larger size, bucks also are characterized by branched antlers that grow each year and are shed after the breeding season. On rare occasions, does grow antlers.
Weight depends on the age, sex, and physical condition of the animal and on the quality and quantity of food available to it. Bucks (male deer) generally range in weight from 100- 250 pounds, whereas does are somewhat lighter at 70-150 pounds. In addition to being larger than does (female deer), bucks also have antlers that grow each year and are shed after the breeding season. Occasionally (very rarely!), does with antlers have been documented.
Duing the summer, the upper coat of the deer is reddish-brown with short, thin, straight, wiry hairs. In winter, the coat changes to a grayish-brown, with long, thick, hollow hairs that are slightly crinkled and provide excellent insulation against the cold. The belly, the throat, the areas around the eyes, the insides of the ears, and the underside of the tail are white year round. Fawns (very young deer) are chestnut-brown color with conspicuous white spots on their back and sides that provide camouflage from predators. These spots fade by 3-4 months of age.
Breeding & Offspring
In Massachusetts, breeding takes place between late October and early December. At this time, bucks are more active throughout the day than usual. Rutting bucks often chase does across roads without hesitation, so drivers should be extra cautious during the late fall. Slow down, and stay alert to avoid vehicle-deer collisions.
After a gestation period of about 28 weeks the fawns are born, sometime between late May and early July. Depending upon her age and physical condition, a doe may produce one, two, or three fawns, each one weighing about 4-6 pounds and able to walk within an hour of birth.
White-tailed deer are herbivores and they consume a wide variety of herbaceous and woody plants. Deer lack incisors on the upper front jaw. Twigs browsed by deer will look as though it was partially clipped, with a trailing, ragged edge. By contrast, a twig neatly "snipped" off, with a clean, smooth cut, is an indication of a rabbit or woodchuck browsing.
Food preferences depend on the kinds of plants growing in an area and the season of the year. Typically, deer eat green leaves, herbaceous plants, and new growth on woody plants in the spring and summer. In late summer, fall, and early winter, hard and soft fruits such as apples, pears, and acorns are a major part of their diet. In winter, the deer feed on evergreen leaves, hard browse (twigs, shoots, hardy leaves, and buds), or bark from trees. In poor habitat, deer may become undernourished and thus more vulnerable to exposure and disease. These deer are also typically smaller, with smaller antlers and a lower reproductive rate.
Deer are ruminants, meaning they have a four-chambered stomach and frequently chew a "cud". Food preferences are largely dependent on the kinds of plants in an area and the season. Green leaves, herbaceous plants and new growth on woody plants are eaten in the spring and summer. In late summer, fall and early winter, both hard and soft fruits such as apples, pears and acorns are a major component of their diet. In winter, the deer feed on evergreen leaves, hard browse (twigs, shoots, leaves and buds), or bark from trees (during severe winters or when food supplies are limited). Good supplies of a variety of natural foods at all times of the year are essential to support healthy deer.
White-tailed deer are crepuscular, meaning that they are most active at dawn and dusk. Deer may also be active at other times of the day, especially during the breeding season in late fall.
Typically, an adult doe, her fawns, and in some cases female offspring from the previous year will all stay together on the maternal range, in a familiar habitat of 1-2 square miles in size.
Males leave the maternal range as yearlings to adopt either a solitary existence or, more commonly, to form bachelor groups consisting of two to five individuals. Typically white-tails in New England travel no more than 5-15 miles, with bucks traversing larger areas than does.

COLUMBUS. Cherokee County Commissioners met on Friday at the courthouse to canvass the ballots cast in the Nov. 2 general election.
A close Kansas House District 1 contest between incumbent Doug Gatewood and challenger Michael Houser had the most attention.
Houser narrowly won election day ballots 2468 to Gatewood's 2394, but Gatewood had a 96-vote lead election night because of advance ballots. Gatewood received 456 advance votes to Houser's 286.
Gatewood's lead narrowed on Friday after the official canvas to a 77 vote advantage: 2905 to 2828.
Cherokee County Commissioners Patrick Collins, Jack Garner and Richard Hilderband considered about 100 provisional ballots and occasionally sought advice from Kevin Cure, County Counselor, and the Kansas Secretary of State's office, on whether to accept or reject a ballot.
On Sunday Cure sent the Commissioners a letter for their consideration in the event Houser asked for a recount on Monday.
As shown in the video below, Houser announced on Friday he planned to ask for a recount and did that formally on Monday morning. A call to the Cherokee County Clerk's office confirmed a recount had been requested, but other details were not yet available.
On Monday Clay Barker, General Counsel for the Kansas Republican Party, said Houser was told that he could not ask for a machine and a hand recount, and Houser had opted for a hand recount.
Houser must post a bond of approximately $4,100 to pay for the recount. Payment information is not known at this time.
[Update Nov. 9, 2010 10 AM] On Tuesday Michael Houser provided KansasWatchdog with his letter requesting a recount. Houser made several requests in that letter to remove ballots from the control of the Cherokee County Clerk, Crystal Gatewood, because of a conflict of interest. Her husband, Doug Gatewood, is Houser's opponent. Houser said all of his requests for impartiality were denied.
[Update Nov. 9, 2010 2:15 PM] Becky from the Cherokee County Clerk's office said the recount results were almost the same as the original count.
During the recount Doug Gatewood picked up two votes after human scrutiny of two machine-counted "over votes" (marks on a ballot for more than one candidate).
The final recount tally was Doug Gatewood 2907, Michael Houser 2828.
Kansas Watchdog analyzed the precinct results from the certified results from Friday and found no statistical issues in the data. [Four charts compared precinct results with this table giving the key to the precinct numbers used in the charts.]
There had been some controversy in this contest when Cherokee Commission Chair Richard Hilderbrand relayed complaints he heard about ballot handling from about 10 constituents to the Cherokee County Sheriff.
The Sheriff's office on Friday said they could not provide a copy of that complaint since it had been forwarded to the KBI.

Alfred McCoy on "The Politics of Heroin"
November 20, 2005
Alfred McCoy is the author of a book called "The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade." He explains to Jim Fleming how the CIA made deals with warlords in Asia to help drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan during the Cold War. They succeeded, but at the cost of an explosive growth in the opium trade. Same thing happened with the Taliban. They're gone, but the heroin trade is booming.

I was researching the crucifixion of Jesus and it was pointed out that there was nothing in the language to describe the intense anguish caused during the crucifixion, so they invented a word that literally means "out of the cross". So the next time you use that word, think about what it means.

CANNON FALLS, Minn. -- Not since Calvin Coolidge in 1928 has a sitting president visited this one-stoplight city of 4,000. Until now.
President Obama broke the 83-year scoreless string at midday today before a seemingly supportive crowd of 500 gathered on the scenic banks of the Cannon River.
Obama came here this morning to begin a three-day bus tour that will take him to five places most Americans have probably never heard of. Besides Cannon Falls, they include Decorah and Peosta, Iowa, as well as Atkinson and Alpha, Ill.
These are the small cities and towns of the rural Midwest in states that voted for Obama in 2008 and that have traditionally been Democratic strongholds, along with Wisconsin and Michigan. But their economies are struggling and the public mood about Washington is dour, so he can't take anything for granted.
Not that this is a political trip, despite its appearance beneath a huge American flag. The president arrived in a high-tech, black bus to listen to Midwesterners about their hassles and their hopes -- and he's likely to get an earful.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said it was wrong to suggest that "anytime the president leaves Washington, it's campaigning." He said Obama was "doing what presidents do, going out into the country."
Traveling by bus lets him visit communities that are hard to reach, Carney said: "A plane this size is hard to get into small communities."
As many as 1,500 people lined up Sunday for tickets to the town hall event here, and only about 500 got in to the cramped space in a Cannon Falls park.
Nikki Zimmer waited nine hours outside City Hall for her tickets. Zimmer, 43, a school psychologist, lives in the House district of Rep. Michele Bachmann, but she's an Obama fan who feels the economy is doing about as well as it could after two-and-a-half years.
She blames "eight years of (George W.) Bush and the Republicans being in charge." Now, she says, those same Republicans are refusing to compromise on economic solutions. "Their answer is just 'no.'"
Bob Brintnall, 57, who chairs the Cannon Falls School Board, calls himself a centrist. But he, too, feels Obama needs more time to fix the economy.
Republican friends said "how can you go and support his policies by showing up?" Brintnall says. "I'm supporting the presidency, not the man in particular. I don't think one man can turn around the economy."
Brintnall has reason to be discouraged: He had hoped to retire soon as an insurance agent but has put off those plans. "My business has suffered dramatically," he says. All three of his children have had financial troubles because of the jobs picture.
Still, he says, Republicans' claims that it's Obama's fault is "political posturing. There's no question in my mind that's all it is," he says.
Although Goodhue County, about halfway between the Twin Cities and Rochester, leans Republican, its unemployment rate began to drop in March 2009, shortly after Obama came into office. It's now 6.8%, right around the state average.

A Supreme Court decision upheld an appeals court ruling that threw out a $5 million judgment to the father of a dead Marine who sued members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka after they picketed his son's funeral.
Justice Samuel Alito was the lone dissenter.
The case involved the funeral for Matthew Snyder who died in Iraq in 2006.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church, who have picketed military funerals for several years, decided to protest outside the Westminster, Md., church where Snyder's funeral was to be held.
The Rev. Fred Phelps and other family members who make up most of the Westboro Baptist Church have picketed many military funerals to draw attention to their view that U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are God's punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.
The pickets use signs that read, "Thank God for dead soldiers," "You're Going to Hell," "God Hates the USA/Thank God for 9/11," as well as signs with a slur against gay men.
Albert Snyder filed a lawsuit accusing the Phelpses of intentionally inflicting emotional distress. He won $11 million at trial, later reduced by a judge to $5 million. The case went to the Supreme Court after the federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., threw out the verdict and said the Constitution shielded the church members from liability.

Possibilities And Problems Of Tourist Sector In Employment Stimulation On The Territory Of Vojvodina
In the 1980, tourism went through a relatively high degree of rise and it became an important factor of national economy, showing its vitality in the age of unstable economic and monetary movements, and in most part, it stood out as a part of economy that affects the economic activation of human resources to a large extent, so, in that way, it alleviated the unemployment problem. However, despite all claims that human capital is the biggest value of service sector, in reality that attitude is not supported enough. In this paper, there was an attempt to point to a number of problems connected to human resources in tourism, with a view of current state of tourism development and its effect on work contingent in Vojvodina, as one of developed trade and economic parts of Serbia. Exactly at the moment when tourism is becoming the leading service activity of the 21st century, with indications that it is one of the best ways for economic recovery of the country, in the first place an activating demographic factor, contradictory data appear, in the sense of negating positive effects of tourism through the fact that, besides all the tendencies, the number of employees in this activity is not rising, as it was expected.
