.45acp for hogs and cougars
Next weekend I'm going hunting for the first time this season. (I know I'm getting a late start) we have ben having a lot of hog problems. Normally I would just use my 30-06. But sometimes when putting up a stand, throwing out corn (not to hunt over of corse) it gets left in the truck.
Also at night when leaving the stand there have ben a few cougars sighted. And working a bolt if I miss the first time might not be a option.
But I do always have my XD .45 and I don't have to work a bolt on it. At first I was thanking just any old fmj would work. But now I'm wondering if there is anything better. So what do y'all thank would be good to use in this situation?
I'm thanking maybe some buffalo bore.
Cougars are not that tough. A .22 mag is fine (if you are hunting THEM). A .45 should be adequate if they are hunting YOU.
Hogs on the other hand ARE tough. A .45 will kill one, but only with a well placed shot and some luck. 10mm or .460 Rowland for an auto loading pistol.
The 45 ACP is a poor choice for shooting hogs. I have seen a few hogs shot with them,and very few even slow down or go down after being shot with that caliber.
Hollow points don't penetrate enough,FMJ's just make a small hole through them and unless it's a very good shot,it will just wound them. Lead bullets are the best choice,but most are too slow to do the damage needed to down the animal.
A 40 S&W will do a much better job than the 45 ACP. If I use a pistol,it is almost always my 44 Magnum.It always works on them!
The problem is at the moment .45 is my only choice. So I guess I'm going to go with some buffalo bore 230 +p fmj.
I would not choose to use a .45 for hogs.
If i had to, I'd use ball ammo for increased penetration.
BTW if you kill a cougar, they're far better tasting than venison.:)
So ball ammo. Any specific kind?
Just my opinion, but I think you'd be better off spending the money on a good used .357 magnum.:)
Funny, thought this might be one for the Tail Trail...

Stripes Hat, Ribby or Slouchy
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
This lightweight wool hat, comes in two versions: the Ribby Stripes Hat is ribbed all the way to the crown for a close fit; the Slouchy Stripes Hat is ribbed for a close fit around the ears, then worked in looser stockinette stitch for a slouchy fit on top. Both hats are knit in the round and decreased at the top with double-pointed needles (or may be worked with the magic loop method if preferred).
Two size options are available which fit most adult heads from 19" to 24".
You will need two colors of yarn; we prefer Thirteen Mile Organic Wool in the worsted weight.
This pattern is easy and is suitable for beginning knitters.

Texas A&M sophomore Johnny Manziel might be at odds with the NCAA, but he's still in good standing with Heisman voters.
The returning Heisman winner starts the 2013 season right where he left off the last one: atop HeismanPundit.com's Heisman Straw Poll.
This year's preseason version of the weekly survey saw the Aggies quarterback collect four first-place votes and 33 total points to edge out South Carolina junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who tallied 30 points and one first-place vote.
"You have to go with Manziel for now," said one voter. "He was so impressive last season, there's little reason to think he won't be as good or better this year."
If the poll holds true to the end, Manziel would join Ohio State's Archie Griffin as just the second two-time Heisman winner. He became the first-ever freshman to win it last season.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that the HeismanPundit Heisman Straw Poll is merely a snapshot of what voters are thinking at the moment. No preseason top selection in the poll's history has ever gone on to actually win the Heisman.
"It provides a starting point for the race and shows us what voters are thinking heading into the season," said Chris Huston, who runs HeismanPundit.com. "But historically it hasn't been a prediction of where the race will end up."
Ohio State junior Braxton Miller — considered by many to be the real front runner for the trophy — was third in the poll with 22 points and two first-place votes. Another junior, wide receiver Marqise Lee of USC (one first-place vote), tied with senior quarterback AJ McCarron of Alabama for fourth with 14 points.
Oregon sophomore quarterback Marcus Mariota was sixth with 11 points and 1 first place vote, while quarterbacks Tajh Boyd of Clemson and Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville tied for seventh with four points each.
Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas (2 points) and Georgia's Aaron Murray (1 point) rounded out the poll.
Now in its eighth season, the HeismanPundit.com Heisman Straw Poll is the college football world's most trusted gauge of Heisman voter sentiment. It has been the most accurate Heisman poll in the country during the past seven seasons, with the final 2012 poll correctly picking the top five finishers and the final 2011 poll picking the top seven. This year's poll is made up of 9 anonymous Heisman voters from across the country. For the preseason version, they've selected five players on their ballots, while during the season they will pick three players. Tabulations for the preseason poll are made on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis while in-season polls are tabulated like a real Heisman ballot, with three points awarded for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote and one point for a third-place vote.
Each week's poll is released on Tuesdays throughout the season at HeismanPundit.com.

Consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2013 was $1.8 billion compared to $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2012. Operating income in the third quarter of 2013 was $166 million compared to an operating loss of $11 million in the prior year third quarter. The third quarter of 2012 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $178 million related to a market assessment of the minerals business. "The third quarter was highlighted by a strong, 1.2x book-to-bill ratio and cash flow from operations of $178 million. The quarter was unfavorably impacted by the adverse tax ruling related to the separation from our prior parent, several non-operational discrete tax items and the delay of key project close-out items originally forecast in the quarter," said Bill Utt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of KBR. "Looking forward, we continue to see a strong opportunity set of major projects across all of our businesses; however, we expect the near term competitive environment for new awards to continue." Business Discussion (All comparisons are third quarter 2013 versus third quarter 2012, unless otherwise noted). Gas Monetization Results Gas Monetization revenue was $552 million, down $256 million, or 32% primarily related to completed construction on the Skikda LNG and Escravos GTL projects. Gas Monetization job income was $157 million, up $10 million, or 7%, primarily related to the recognition of a change order executed on the Gorgon LNG project as well as increased activity on the Ichthys LNG EPC and other active FEED projects. Partially offsetting the increase was lower income related to the Skikda LNG project in Algeria.

OpenWetWare talk:Community Portal v2
From OpenWetWare
Revision as of 02:30, 9 March 2006 by Jason R. Kelly (Talk | contribs)
I thought it might be useful to have an entire page that just dealt with discussions, rather than trying to fit it into a smaller area. We could lay out the portal with tabs similar to the getting started pages as a way to let users navigate easily. I thought
- Welcome tab
- highlighting the ways to help out (kinda like pg3 of the getting started),
- Common Areas tag
- point to protocols, eqiup, help pages, categorizing, etc.
- e.g. how to make a "common protocol" from disparate lab protocols, etc.
- Discussion
- The main discussion areas reshma outlined at the bottom of this page. Plus the 5 most recently edited OpenWetWare: pages, just to get people pumped ;)
- Jasonk 23:40, 8 March 2006 (EST):Please give feedback on the idea of 3 tabs on the community portal, etc.
- BC 01:13, 9 March 2006 (EST): This looks nice, although I would prefer to be able to see everything at once. For example, when I go to the community portal I would like to see the what needs doing and the discussion topics at the same time and then pick what interests me. I think the tabs make the most sense for something you want to linearly progress through, such as the getting started page. Essentially, I'd like to be able to click on community portal and see a link to everything that is going on rather than having to click to different pages.
Another option for laying out the discussions would be to copy the Village Pump over at wikipedia. This is how they manage a lot of their temporary discussions but I think its a nice visual layout that we could use for our discussions. Reshma's discussion categories could replace the 6 sections on the top of the table. Not sure that the Village Pump way is better, just another option that we can consider.
- Jasonk 01:24, 9 March 2006 (EST) Yeah, question is whether you can fit everything in a single page and have it not be either too long (scrolling down through 3 pages lengths say) or too condensed (can see everything but have no idea what it means). Of course 3 tabs is the same amt of content as a long page - just think it looks nicer visually/organizationally. I like the village pump layout of the graphical boxes, though would be cool to have boxes that are big enough to fit a few of the subcategories reshma has been adding to each of the areas.
- Jasonk 01:30, 9 March 2006 (EST): This also brings up the question of the purpose of the community portal. I was looking at it mainly as a way to recruit new power users and point them to areas they might want to contribute. I was assuming current power users would only visit the community portal to curate it, rather than to find what's going on today. I think that would occur mostly through SpecialRecentChanges pages pointing at the various discussion areas (e.g. OpenWetWare:Information Management, etc) That may not be the right approach though....

"Saturday Night Live" Plays "Game Of 'Game Of Thrones'"
Zach Galifianakis first "Saturday Night Live" hosting appearance was maybe one of the funniest things I've ever seen ("That's so Raven?"), so I had high hopes for his second stint this weekend. Alas, the show was off-kilter and random, and not in the good way Zach is generally known for. But one sketch in particular made me crack up — watch as Zach plays a dragon costume-clad "Game of Thrones" fan on the show "Game of 'Game of Thrones'," who keeps getting the, well, hardest questions for a "GoT" fan to answer. Jaime Lannister himself makes an appearance. Swooooon!

CHICAGO — Gaby Sanchez is in the house and Chad Qualls is en route from the airport, so the Pirates will be at full strength for this afternoon's game. Reliever Daniel McCutchen was sent back to Triple-A Indy. Manager Clint Hurdle huddles privately with each new guy for about 10 minutes right after he walks in the door. "I give him a quick thumbnail sketch of what's going on, who we are, where we're headed and the importance him being here," Hurdle said. Before batting practice, Hurdle will gather the entire team for a quick "Hello, my name is …" meeting. "We'll recalibrate, redirect and then go play the Cubs," Hurdle said. "I'm not going to share any of it with you, though. This is not reality TV, at least not with me."
»»» XM analyst and former Mets GM Jim Duquette gave the Pirates a B-minus grade for their trades at the deadline: "There's a chance (for it) to become a B if Gaby Sanchez and/or Travis Snider produce. They're better, without giving up their top prospects, and they factored in the division, which has been weakened. But I would've liked to see them go harder after Hunter Pence. He was a perfect fit for them."
»»» Andrew McCutchen has reached base in 45 of 48 career games, including the past 39 in a row, against the Cubs. Overall, McCutchen is batting .324 with seven doubles, three triples, six homers, 26 RBI and 29 runs scored against the Cubbies. Cutch had 41 hits in July, the most by a Pirate in a single month since Freddy Sanchez collected 46 in August 2007.
»»» It's bad enough that junkballer Justin Germano pretty much held the Pirates in check for five innings Monday to pick up his first major league win in five years. This makes it sting a bit more: Germano is 9-17 with a 5.46 ERA as a starter.
Game 104: Pirates @ Cubs, 2:05 p.m. ET
Pirates (59-44): 1. Starling Marte lf, 2. Josh Harrison 2b, 3. Andrew McCutchen cf, 4. Gaby Sanchez 1b, 5. Travis Snider rf, 6. Michael McKenry c, 7. Pedro Alvarez 3b, 8. Clint Barmes ss, 9. Jeff Karstens rhp (3-2, 3.88)

Late for Tea at the Deer Palace
'Tamara Chalabi is a writer of exquisite talents. Her Late for Tea at the Deer Palace is a magical book of imagination and memory. She has achieved with... the world of her family and the world of Iraq, what the great Latin American authors have done in their world. An author coming into her own, Tamara Chalabi will redefine English writing in the Arab world.' Fouad Ajami, author of Dream Palace of the Arabs
'Tamara Chalabi is... placed at a historical juncture... one that grew out of the void of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Her family's story allows us into the mapping of Iraq... Tamara's story is really the story of modern Iraq.'
Justine Hardy, author of The Wonder House
'I think it's an admirable endeavour to have Iraq addressed by someone who is in so many ways able to approach it from two worlds: old bourgeois Iraq versus new lumpen Iraq; female Iraq versus masked male Iraq; cosmopolitan Iraq versus sectarian Iraq; British Iraq versus Americanised Iraq... In my opinion, Tamara Chalabi has the stuff, in every sense, that is needful to undertake this.' Christopher Hitchens
The Chalabis are one of the oldest and most prominent families in Iraq. For centuries they have occupied positions of honour and responsibility, loyally serving first the Ottoman Empire and, later, the national government.
And yet, despite her ancestors' deep ties to the region, until very recently Tamara Chalabi's understanding of her homeland was based almost entirely on stories. Raised in exile, she knew Iraq only through the homesick reminiscences of her paternal family, her uncles and formidable grandparents.
In Late for Tea at the Deer Palace Tamara explores her extraordinary family's history in this beautiful, passionate and troubled land. This is the story of a lost homeland, whose turbulent transformations over the twentieth century left gaping wounds at the hearts not only of the family it exiled, but also of the elegant, sophisticated world it once represented.
From the grand opulence of her great-grandfather's house and the birth of the modern state, through to the elegant Iraq of her grandmother Bibi, who lived the life of a queen in Baghdad until the bloody events of the 1958 Revolution overturned her life, to Tamara's own story, that of a rootless daughter of a family in exile, longing to return to a land she had never known, Chalabi takes us on an unforgettable and eye-opening journey.
When Tamara finally visited her ancestral land for the first time in 2003, she found a country she didn't recognize - and a nation on the brink of a terrifying and uncertain new beginning.
Like Jung Chang's Wild Swans, this exquisite multi-generational memoir brings together east and west, the poetic and the political, as it brings to life a land of beauty and grace that has been all but lost behind recent headlines.
Tamara Chalabi is a Beirut born Lebanese-Iraqi writer, whose paternal family was exiled from Iraq in 1958. She grew up and was educated in the Middle East, Europe and America and went to boarding school in the UK. She studied at Brown University followed by an MPhil at Cambridge University and a PhD in History and the Middle East from Harvard University. Her first book, The Shi'is of Jabal'Amil and the New Lebanon: 1918-1943 was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2006. She has written for the Sunday Times, New Republic, Wall Street Journal, Slate and Prospect on war, culture, encounters and identities. She is a co-founder of the Ali Wardi History Prize in Baghdad, for a work of research, and is also the executive director of the Abdul Hadi Chalabi Foundation. She lives between Baghdad, Istanbul and Beirut.

A.P. gets hoaxed; ESPN's 'plagiarism problem'
The Lineup collects the media stories, big and small, that are on our radar each day.
The Associated Press was served a steaming pile of crow yesterday after it reported on a major technology acquisition that turned out to be a hoax.
Story Continued Below
"Associated Press is withdrawing its story about a purported acquisition of ICOA Inc., a wireless and broadband internet provider, by Google Inc," reads the wire's apology.
"ICOA says the story is not true, and said a purported news release about the acquisition was a hoax. Google declined to comment, but a person close to Google with knowledge of the situation also said the report was not true. The person declined to be named because she wasn't authorized by Google to speak on the record."
But the A.P. wasn't the only outlet that got taken in.
The press release that the A.P. picked up was distributed via PRWeb, which issued its own statement on the matter.
Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan takes a closer look at how PRWeb "helps distribute crap into Google and news sites":
In the past, you'd get a press release out and hope newspapers might pick up the story, often using the release as a basis for writing their own stories — ones that might be fact-checked, or sourced with others, or get turned into something other than a promotional item. Instead, with PRWeb and other services, you can get whatever you want published and distributed verbatim into a wide range of news sources.
And here's Gawker's Hamilton Nolan on "the perils of fake press releases":
It's foolish to expect the fundamental state of affairs here to change. What's called for is simply media literacy. If you read a quickie blog post based solely on a brief press release, do not assign it the same weight as a lengthy Wall Street Journal investigative story. And if you're enough of a gambler to place bets on these things, accept that you'll sometimes lose.
On a side note, we hear that the A.P. desk responsible for picking up the fake ICOA release was the same one that filed last year's Jeffrey Immelt tax refund story, which turned out to be a hoax propagated by activist pranksters The Yes Men.

Quote of the day...
It became clear to us very early in our research that there's no such thing as the news industry anymore. Journalism has fragmented so quickly in terms of practice, skills, process, revenue and even output, that newsrooms are very different places from the factories of information they were only a few years ago. It feels like the right time to have a broad discussion, not about business models … but about what skills, structures and systems give us the best chance of creating good journalism.

The New York Times has partnered with the American Cancer Society in publishing a new book of survivor stories:
Cancer survivors from all walks of life responded to a New York Times request to send in a photo and answer the question, "how is your life different after cancer?" The responses make up a powerful new book from The Times and the American Cancer Society titled Picture Your Life After Cancer.
In the 96-page book, edited by Karen Barrow, web producer for the science desk of The New York Times, more than 200 people share their responses and photos. Picture Your Life After Cancer speaks to a reality that is at times frightening and lonely, joyful and beautiful, and filled with possibility.
"We received well over 1,000 stories from our readers who have had a cancer diagnosis and come out the other side," remarked Karen Barrow. "We hope Picture Your Life After Cancer represents the truth and the amazing possibilities for life after cancer."
"I am not among those who ascribe to the belief that cancer is some sort of gift, in any form," writes Tara Parker-Pope, columnist and blogger for The New York Times in the foreword to the book. "It is a terrible disease. But I do believe that we can learn from the people who have experienced it. And that is essentially what this book is about."
The stories shared are from adults, children, parents, siblings, partners, lovers and friends. What they share is their "new normal"—the reality of facing life after cancer. By turns inspiring, celebratory and surprising, this book explores the honest truth of life after cancer.
"Life is much more vibrant. Words have more meaning. Actions have more meaning," said Robin B. Katz, a cancer survivor who is featured. "Butterflies, coffee, and bright blue skies seem so much more important than petty disagreements. Relationships are more important than how many hours a week I have worked. And every day is truly a gift."
Complete with a section of information from the American Cancer Society about surviving and thriving after cancer and a resource guide for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis, this book serves as a reminder that there is in fact life after cancer.

Foster children become focus of California schools
SAN FRANCISCO — California is embarking on a first-of-its-kind attempt to improve the academic lives of foster youths by giving schools more money to meet their special learning and emotional needs, and holding educators and administrators accountable.
But first, officials have to figure out how many school-age foster children they have and where they are enrolled in a state that's home to nearly one-fifth of the nation's foster children.
Until now, no state has attempted to identify every foster child in its public schools or to systematically track their progress, much less funnel funds toward those students or require school districts to show they are spending the money effectively.
That changed in California this month as part of a new school funding formula that will direct billions of extra dollars to districts based on how many students they have with low family incomes, who are learning to speak English or are in foster care.
The state's 1,043 school systems had to submit plans by July 1 for how they intend to use the money, a pot projected to reach at least $9.3 billion by 2021, to increase or improve services for those groups.
The 10 school districts in Santa Cruz County, with about 450 foster children, have proposed tutoring, counseling, extracurricular activities and other help for foster youths in the region south of San Jose.
County Superintendent Michael Watkins said such efforts are a result of the state's "holding everyone's feet to the fire" by grading schools on support for foster children.
"We won't know for a couple years, probably, but I'm hopeful this will stem the tide for youth who, through no fault of their own, end up in a system that totally fails them," Watkins said.
Michael Jones, a resource teacher in the Elk Grove Unified School District near Sacramento, has doubts.
"You can't fund decency," Jones said.
Six years ago, he founded a weekly class in which students in foster care could meet each other, talk about their struggles, get a hug and pick up school supplies, toiletries and even prom attire that he bought or were donated. He has expanded it to the district's other high schools.
Former student Kandance Stagner, 18, who has been in seven foster care settings since the second grade, graduated from high school in June and is preparing to attend college in Nebraska — achievements she attributes in large part to the nurturing environment Jones created.
She hopes foster youths who come after her will get the tutoring and help she received.
"I understand what they've gone through, and I've been through what they've gone through, and I chose to take a bigger and broader step," Stagner said. "I just know, I hope, that we will stop being the outcasts and the statistics."

I live on a mountaintop farm in rural West Virginia. The road into the farm is steep and 1/2 mile long. Plus they don't get around to plowing the county roads for several days after a storm. This season, 2013-14 has been a great test of these tires. My wife and I have two identical 2009 Subaru Forester vehicles. Hers has a new set of all season tires and mine has these Goodyear WRTs. I bought these tires based on the good reviews I have read about them. I am glad to say the reviews are correct. These tires are awesome! I have yet to get stuck or even slide around even in the deepest snow and on glare ice. They go in any conditions. I have to remind myself not to get carried away with driving in bad conditions because it feels like I am on dry pavement. I tackle very steep roads in 10 of fresh snow and barely have any wheelspin. On ice I have tried emergency stopping and fooling around trying to break the tires loose and they amaze me with their gripping and stopping power. Compared to the all season tires on my wife's car they are probably 3 to 4 times better. I now consider the all seasons dangerous to drive. Bottom line is that these tires have exceeded my expectations and get the highest rating from me. Going with a pure winter tire like this is the only way to go. Spring for the spare set of rims and run them just in the winter. That also lets you get pure summer tires for max performance during the rest of the year. I have bought my last set of all season tires. Congrats to Goodyear for a job well done on these tires. I hope when they finally wear out that they will still be available. No sign of wear yet but it is the first season. Surprisingly good handling on dry pavement and very acceptable noise level. They run smooth as silk. Buy these!

ORLANDO, Fla. â The Avocado Producers & Exporting Packers Association of Michoacán is gearing up for fall and winter promotions, including its Super Bowl push.
Ashley Bentley
APEAM offers a side-stack display it encourages retailers to use to merchandise avocados in areas outside the produce department, especially in meat and seafood.
The association is running a new ad campaign in consumer lifestyle magazines, along with advertisements on American and Hispanic TV and radio stations for eight weeks starting in November.
APEAM also plans to take a different approach to its promotional efforts in California, focusing on a higher-end consumer.
âItâs the second time ever weâve done an avocado campaign there,â said Emiliano Escobedo, marketing director. âOur strategy is weâre targeting a little higher-end consumer that is longing for quality. Itâs sort of counter intuitive to what most think.â
Escobedo said most seem to think the association should target the Hispanic audience there, but his goal this year is to get higher-end retailers to really showcase Avocados from Mexico. During Californiaâs avocado season, Mexican fruit is usually the more expensive product, so Escobedo said the goal is not to go to discount retailers looking for price.
âAvocados from Mexico are very distinct,â Escobedo said. âMexico is where avocados originated, and itâs the only place in the world where a single tree will bud up to four times a year.â
For the Super Bowl of Feb. 6, the association plans a promotion called, âWhat Makes Your Guac Rock,â Escobedo said. The promotion is planned to include a sweepstakes and social media components.
Escobedo said the association also is working more direct with both retailers and consumers on their avocado-related issues. Social media, including Facebook and Twitter, allows the association to directly answer consumersâ questions about when an avocado is ripe or how to use it.
The associationâs category management-type services allow it to consult with retailers on how to merchandise avocados.
âWe have secondary displays made so all you do is drop the box in and youâre ready,â Escobedo said. âRetailers are able to display avocados in the meat and seafood department and get impulse purchases.â
The company also showcased at Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit 2010 a bag display that could be used anywhere in the store.

DALLAS (AP) — Jason Terry has backed up his talk.
The man who raised some eyebrows by wondering aloud on Monday if LeBron James would wear down in these finals — and who was urged by Dirk Nowitzki to do more for the Mavs — is off to a big start for Dallas in Game 4.
Terry has seven points off the bench, and Dallas and Miami are tied after the first quarter at 21-all. More good news for the Mavs: Brendan Haywood checked in late in the period, going to see what he can do with that ailing right hip.
The Mavs gave Miami some gifts late, first when Terry missed a pair of free throws, then when Rick Carlisle picked up a technical for arguing that LeBron James wasn't fouled with 18.8 seconds left. Mario Chalmers made the 'T' free throw to tie it, and James hit a pair to give Miami its first lead, 21-19.
JJ Barea tied it with a pair of FTs with 5.5 seconds left.
A few more pregame quotes for you from the locker rooms:
— Carlisle: "We gotta win a grit and guts game tonight. They gotta see waves of white coming at them all night long. I'll make sure we got fresh bodies in the game."
— Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "There can't be a weak link ... not tonight. It is a primal game."
The Mavs say this is a must-win for them tonight, for obvious reasons.
LeBron James says the same thing to the Heat.
Take a gander of what the ABC cameras caught him saying just before the Heat took the floor for warmups, where he channels his inner Herb Brooks for an all-time locker room speech:
"Let's continue to play desperate. That's the only way we know how to play basketball. That's the best way we know how to play. When we play desperate, we feel like our back is against the wall. Even though we're up 2-1, I still feel like our back is against the wall. And this is a must-win game. Every game we approach, our back is against the wall and it's a must-win game. Don't ever come out of a situation where you feel like, 'Damn, if I'd have did this a little bit harder or I did that a little bit smarter, I'd have gave us a better chance to win the ballgame.' Lay it all on the line tonight and play Miami Heat basketball."
They might be playing desperate.
So might the Mavs, for that matter.
Neither team is playing great, yet. Dallas 17, Miami 16, 2:01 left in the first.
Couple quick stat updates: Heat have nine offensive rebounds already, after having nine in all of Game 3. And Wade had his first turnover since Game 2.
Dirk Nowitzki did his thing, then Chris Bosh did his.
The power forwards had all the power in the opening minutes of Game 4 of the NBA finals.
Nowitzki scored the first six for Dallas. Meanwhile, the Heat missed 10 of their first 11 shots and got away with it, thanks to Bosh getting three field goals in the opening minutes.
We're tied at 8, 5:51 left in the first.
The Mavs did more than change the lineup, they changed defensive rotations as well. Jason Kidd has spent some time guarding LeBron James. That will not be a regular occurrence.
Once again, at least for the opening moments, the Heat have taken the best the Dallas crowd had to offer to open a game and handled it fairly well.
A few pregame stats and one key tweet for you:
— Dwyane Wade has one turnover in his last 101 minutes, 58 seconds of on-court time.
— The Heat have not scored 30 or more points in a quarter in their last 34 quarters. Haven't given one up in the last 28, either.
— JJ Barea started two games this season for the Mavs. Until tonight. (Move is now official, even though there was no doubt after DeShawn Stevenson said he wasn't starting.) All-time, he's 34-15 as a starter.
— Heat reserve Dexter Pittman calls LeBron James "big bro." Which might clear up the mystery in this tweet he posted a couple hours ago: "Here we are. Game 4. 2 more. Big bro zoned out. I know he bout to be a freaking monster tonight. He focus like a lion hunting for prey"
(And one more reminder — send those questions on Twitter to "ByTimReynolds" — and we might get to them during the game.)
The blue shirts are back.
The mood in Dallas, though, is anything but blue entering tonight's Game 4 of the NBA finals.
Yes, the Mavericks are making some lineup changes, which will likely disappoint the Heat because they were amused by some of the things DeShawn Stevenson was saying on the off day yesterday. Seems like Stevenson is out of the lineup in favor of JJ Barea. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle isn't saying it yet, but Stevenson is, so that seems good enough.
The Mavs know the reality. Go down 3-1 tonight and this series is over. Too big a mountain to climb, especially with the potential of two games in Miami.
The Heat know that too, of course.
Dwyane Wade was saying this morning that the Heat are trying to block out the 2-1 series lead and play this game as if it means everything. LeBron James says Dallas losing tonight won't doom the Mavs — extremely political correct there — but that the Heat don't want this turning into a best-of-three series, either.
Speaking of James, he was asked today if he MUST win the NBA finals MVP award to validate his decision to join the Heat. Here's his full response:
"That's ridiculous," James said. "I'm here to win. That's all it's about. Individual accolades take care of itself. I've got two MVP trophies sitting in my house back in Ohio and I haven't won anything. It doesn't matter to me. It's all about a team game and this is the ultimate team prize right here, just trying to win the NBA championship. So I don't really care. I could trade in my last two MVP trophies to have a ring. I don't care about individual accolades to solidify myself in the NBA or whatever they're talking about. It's ridiculous."
So there.
Scheme-wise, don't look for the Heat to change much. The Mavs will clearly play a lot more zone if Barea is getting a ton of minutes.
And tonight, we'll add a new wrinkle to this blog. Hit me with your questions at "ByTimReynolds" on Twitter, then keep checking here to see if I answer. I just might.
Tip off in about 30 minutes. Enjoy Game 4.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I live in Newhall CA I want to purchase a home I don't have great credit but I own an LLC with impeccable credit. can I purchase a home under the LLC?
Your personal credit will affect your ability to purchase a home. In nearly all cases the lender will require you to personally guarantee the loan to an LLC and your credit will therefore be a deciding factor. That being said -- credit is only one factor lenders consider and it is less important as the loan to value ratio decreases.
I am licensed in California only and my answers on Avvo assume California law. Answers provided by me are for general information only. They are not legal advice. Answers must not be relied upon. Legal advice must be based on the interplay between specific exact facts and the law. This forum does not allow for the discussion of that interplay. My answer to any specific question would likely be different if that interplay were explored during an attorney-client relationship. I provide legal advice during the course of an attorney-client relationship only. The exchange of information through this forum does not establish such a relationship. That relationship is established only by personal and direct consultation with me followed by the execution of a written attorney-client agreement signed by each of us. The communications on this website are not privileged or confidential and I assume no duty to anyone by my participation on Avvo or because I have answered or commented on a question. All legal proceedings involve deadlines and time limiting statutes. So that legal rights are not lost for failure to timely take appropriate action and because I do not provide legal advice in answer to any question, if you are an interested party you should promptly and personally consult with an attorney for legal advice. Also, see Avvo's terms and conditions of use, specifically item 9, incorporated by this referenceAsk a similar question
An LLC is a legal entity which can acquire and own property. Therefore, the answer to your question is yes, an LLC can purchase a home. That being said, unless your LLC has sufficient assets and/or credit history, a personal guaranty from you will be necessary. The lender will seek to minimize the risk of their loan as much as possible.
This response is not intended, nor should it be construed as legal advice. Any information provided is for educational purposes only.

I agree with Mr. Lowenthal's answer and those of my other colleagues. I wish to point out, however, that homeowner borrowers generally receive more favorable terms than business entities. You may discover that the LLC's credit rating is not particularly valuable in the overall mix.
That is a very good point!

We may still be one year away from Election Day, but the 2012 campaign season is in full swing. In conjunction with our ABC News/Yahoo! Newsmakers interviews with the leading eight candidates in the GOP field, ABC News takes a closer look at where the campaign season stands 12 months out.
First things first: fundraising. So far $167.1 million has been raised on behalf of all of the candidates running for president in 2012. President Obama's fundraising accounts for more than half of that total. As of September 30, 2011 his re-election campaign had taken in $86.2 million. The combined amount accrued by leading eight GOP candidates is $80.9 million.
Where has that money gone? In this cycle the candidates have spent $74.00 million overall.
And what about time spent on the ground? We're still two months out from the first voting contest of the primary season and already the GOP candidates have amassed over 771,000 miles on the road and taken 465 trips to the first three states — Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Some 222 trips have been made to Iowa, 172 to New Hampshire and 71 to South Carolina.
This season we've also seen a slew of musical performances from the GOP field. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has danced on stage with her husband Marcus at two separate events in Iowa. Former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain has sung for his audiences on three occasions; once at the Iowa State Fair this summer, another time at a meeting in Waverly, Tenn., and most recently at a luncheon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Former ambassador Jon Huntsman has also displayed his musical talent; at a town hall meeting in Charleston, S.C. he did an impromptu performance of Percy Mayfield's "Hit the Road Jack," which he dedicated to President Obama.
For more on the 2012 GOP candidates tune in this evening to World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer.

Nissan Leaf Electric Car Wins 2010 Green Car Vision Award - VIDEO ENHANCED
Electric Hatchback a Significant Step for Automaker, Green Car Journal Says
SEE ALSO: Nissan Unveils 100 Mile Range 'LEAF' - The World's First Electric Car Designed for Affordability and Real-World Requirements
WASHINGTON - January 27, 2010: The Nissan Leaf battery electric car has been named Green Car Journal's 2010 Green Car Vision Award winner at The Washington Auto Show. The innovative Leaf is scheduled to go on sale later this year.
Along with the Leaf, this year's Green Car Vision Award(TM) nominees included the Coda electric sedan, Ford Focus BEV electric car, Mercedes-Benz F-Cell hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and Toyota Prius PHV plug-in hybrid. Each of these nominees, in its own way, presents a strong vision for the future of the automobile.
"Nissan's move to offer a stylish battery electric vehicle as part of its model line is significant," says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and editor of GreenCar.com. "This coming electric model will provide the features, the styling, and the driving experience that will meet the needs of a sophisticated and demanding market, while producing zero localized emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels."

The vehicle's cost does not exceed that of a comparable internal combustion model and the gas to run it.
"This kind of price parity is crucial to the success of any mass market advanced technology model," Cogan says.
To be considered for the Green Car Vision Award(TM), vehicles must be in their early stages of commercialization but not yet on sale, in small volume production with more than one functional prototype in existence, or operating as part of a demonstration fleet. A nominee may be an all-new model or an advanced adaptation of an existing model, such as a conversion to another type of power like electric drive.

The breaking news has just been released by CBS re: the jury finding Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty on 3 counts of first degree murder.
It leaves me deeply saddened. It may leave others deeply shocked, though I am not.
I am saddened for the women he mistreated.
For over three decades - as long as Dr. Gosnell has been performing abortions - I've been involved in the pro-life side of the debate; I've also been persuaded that the premature ending of life in the womb has often been ONLY an exercise in debate by both sides. The actual "body of evidence" has seldom been available as items of evidence in a trial. And the women get mistreated, first by men who use them for their own sick satisfaction. Others followed who fiercly debated each side of the debate, but never really cared for the mothers.
The invisible babies show up on the pro-life side as the terribly mangled bodies (of precious children), the invisible feelings of the frightened mothers are often left alone and abandoned by uncaring conservative idealogues.
They show up on the pro-choice side of the debate as cold statistics (of precious unwed mothers) by uncaring liberal political hacks.
I am not shocked today - because I have seen so much of it in the past - on both sides of the issue. Yet, no case like this was ever brought forward in the past. It is undesired new ground to many in the debate. And it is here.
In the 1990's I had to become an expert on two levels in this area of interrupting pregnancies - both as an expert with the facts and an expert with the law (at least the law of Idaho.)
Shallow people on both sides of the debate in those days created an odd-speak; they easily refrained from the use of the word "hate" when talking about their feelings towards their opponents - while at the same time they eagerly employed the word "hate" when describing what they thought their opponent's feelings were toward followers of their perspective. It was a case of I'm OK, you think I'm Evil. Both sides. Demonization never advances honest dialog. Never.
I suppose in some strange way, deep within themselves, people on the two sides of the baby-in-the-womb debate so often held what they saw as a justified hatred for the the holders of the opposing point of view that they broadcast their emotions on the other guy or gal. Maybe then and now.
How wasted is that energy. Hatred has no place in this debate of philosophies.
It may, though, have a place in our emotions...
By our very nature as caring, loving human beings, hatred seems to have a place when discussing the actions by purposeful perpetrators afforded against innocent people; the way women and babies were treated via the results of the jury trial of Dr. Gosnell.
Caring liberals and loving conservatives can hate what this man has done.
Maybe hate has an appropriate audience - those of us who truly care.
I hate that we have to see what he did. I hate that people died.
I've come to a point in my life where I hate having to talk about abortion.
I hate it. In the past I hated having to know these things and see these things and I hated having to show my family - my little kids - these things.
I hate that America has to see these real and really ugly things today.
I believe the pro-choice advocates when they say that "no one wants to get an abortion". Death has no beauty, nor does it have any desire to it.
It is death, not termination. It is sadness, not political triumph or defeat. The heart of the baby is stopped, the heart of the mom is broken and the heart of the biological father is often as calloused and uncaring as apparently the jury saw Dr. Kermit Gosnell's heart to be. A gentle caring man is not found guilty of three counts of first degree murder, by a jury of his peers. A gentle caring man does not impregnate a woman and abandon her.
The nation may be shocked simply because of the visible brutality of Dr. Gosnell's medical clinic. His behavior of illegally selling pain relievers was what caused the authorities to raid his clinic. What they found upon entering it was a clinic unlike anything brought to the public's attention since 1973's approval of Roe v Wade.
I'm not shocked by the discovery of how his clinic treated mother and child nor am I shocked by his gulty verdict. My shock ended a long time ago.
I'm simply saddened that he did these things to people.
My heart breaks for the women he so deeply mistreated and the babies that he cavalierly killed - as if they were so many unwanted domestic animals. (Even such treatment of kittens, pups and other animal kingdom babies would not be accepted by any of us.)
My guess is that even those who philosophically advocate a pro-choice position are saddened and shocked by what this man did.
My guess is that they also hate what he did.

TV's Most Surreal Music Performances: The Flaming Lips
Subscribe to Diffuser.fm on
The Flaming Lips are an amazing cover band. Of course, they aren't just an amazing cover band — they're one of the weirdest, wildest, most influential and innovative bands in the history of indie rock.
Wayne Coyne and his merry band of pranksters are better known for a treasure trove of amazing albums and one-of-a-kind live shows, but over the years, they've definitely exhibited a special knack for busting out some pretty crazy covers.
From their full-album tributes to the Pink Floyd classic 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and the Stone Roses' self-titled debut to unforgettable covers of single songs by everybody from David Bowie and Led Zeppelin to Daniel Johnston and Radiohead, the Flaming Lips know how to put new twists on old classics.
Given their psychedelic slant, it's no surprise the Lips have frequently turned their attention to the lysergic majesty of later-era Beatles. The band reportedly has a remake of the Fab Four's masterpiece 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' in the works, with the likes of MGMT, Tame Impala and Miley Cyrus, for chrissakes, lined up as guests. But it's certainly not the first time they've redone the Beatles.
Maybe you've heard the Lips' cover of 'All You Need Is Love' with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes? Or their stab at 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' with Sean Lennon on Letterman? Or how about their bizarre version of 'I Am the Walrus'?
All those were pretty sweet, but their sweetest Beatles tribute may very well be the absolutely mind-bending rendition of 'Revolution' they offered up on Halloween night 2011 at the MTV O Music Awards, the cable network's annual celebration of all things digital music.
The Lips rocked the tune in honor of recently deceased Apple co-founder and chairman Steve Jobs. Appropriately, the tune was both performed (in part) and recorded (in full) with the help of iPads.
It was a playfully strange yet surprisingly faithful cover of one of John Lennon's most enduring anthems. As guitarists Derek Brown (with an iPad jammed under his strings) and Steven Drozd crunched away with shronky, treble-piercing riffs, Michael Ivins tickled the keyboard ivories with minimalist melodies and drummer Kliph Scurlock tapped away on the skins with his fingers.
Meanwhile, Coyne — sporting white-framed fly shades and wrapped in what looked like one of those shiny foil blankets marathon runners don at the end of a race — presided over the proceedings like an alien visitor from the future, talk-screaming the tune's lyrics through a little silver microphone with the compression levels cranked to 11.
"When you lose a genius of that caliber, they're never really gone, they live on all around us through our memory, their words and their work," said John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, while introducing the performance. Thanks to Coyne and his fellow Lips cohorts, we have just one more genius way to remember both Lennon and Jobs.

The partnership will see NYSE aim to grow ACE's technology to scale and accelerate its use among global financial institutions. ACE's platform enables investment banks and other agents to post and manage securities sales, and investors to search for offerings. Essentially, it allows broker-dealers to interact with thousands of investors on a transaction in the same manner they would a far smaller number under the traditional manual process. Founded in 2010, ACE is run by former bankers from Bank of America ( BAC), Citigroup ( C), Credit Suisse ( CS), Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM). The head of global listings at NYSE, Scott Cutler, said the exchange aimed to lift efficiency in the institutional private market. "Our goal is to make the private placement process more transparent, efficient and auditable for issuers, investors and placement agents," he said in a statement. The NYSE will also be hoping it makes its business a more formidable competitor to new entrants. Financial terms of the NYSE-ACE transaction were not disclosed and it is not known whether the NYSE plans to lift its stake in the future. A spokeswoman for NYSE declined to comment further on the deal. -- Written by Jane Searle in New York

BRADENTON, Fla. -- A deputy-involved shooting took place in Bradenton Thursday morning during a domestic situation, leaving one man dead.
It happened around 9:30am in the 3500 block of 58th Avenue East.
According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, one of the persons involved in the domestic situation was fatally shot by a deputy.
Deputies tell ABC 7 that the 31-year-old suspect had an altercation with his mother at an area convenience store in which the suspect held her against her will and battered her. The mother managed to escape and call authorities, who responded to the suspect's home on 58th Avenue East.
While deputies were outside the home, the suspect came out of the house with a Samurai sword and charged a deputy, who shot and killed the man.
The deputy was not injured.
The suspect has been identified as 31-year-old Terry Sellars, Jr. According to the sheriff's office, he has previous 17 arrests to his name, and was released by the Department of Corrections this past April.

Request 1
Carleton Rugcutters
The Carleton Rugcutters requested funds to sponsor Spring Swing, Carleton's live band social dance. Generally they present crash-courses in social dance and then have several live bands. This year they are asking for funds for only one band, Jerry O'Hagan and his Orchestra. In the past this event has been very popular, filling the Great Hall to capacity.
Walker asked if charging admission for non-Carleton students might be feasible. Rugcutters did not think it would be appropriate. Walker asked if there were cheaper bands available? Rugcutters said that the band was already decreasing its prices significantly.
There was discussion about the location, which might change from the Great Hall to another venue. If it was held somewhere else, it could be up to $220 cheaper.
Pond said she was reluctant to fund an event without first knowing the location because the money would be unavailable to CSA. Nierengarten added that both venues might not be available.
Pond moved to postpone the bid until next week. Budget committee unanimously approved.
Request 2
Carleton Rugcutters
The Carleton Rugcutters requested funds for their travel this term. Planned trips include bi-weekly trips to St. Olaf, four trips to Tapestry Folkdance Center in Minneapolis (social dancing and workshops), and two trips to the Four Seasons Dance Studio in St. Paul.
Pond asked why the Carleton Rugcutters merit so many trips. Rugcutters responded that they were open to everyone.
Nierengarten asked whether students were attending multiple trips. Rugcutters responded that some are, but mostly the groups change.
Walker asked if St. Olaf ever comes here, and Rugcutters explained that they do occasionally.
Pond made a bid of $170, arguing that they need to decrease funds for all groups. The bid reflects 2 trips to the cities, 1 to collegiate conference, and weekly trips to St. Olaf.
Walker made a $72 bid for weekly trips to St. Olaf and 1 trip to the collegiate conference. He said he viewed workshops in the cities as analogous to private lessons.
Pond argued that students do bring something back from workshops and interacting with different dancers.
The voting was as follows:
Walker $72 bid: 2
Pond $170 bid: 6
1 abstention
Request 3
International Festival
International Festival requested funds for the annual International Festival in Upper and Lower Sayles. The request was for groceries, stancion rental, travel costs, facilities set-up and advertising costs. Most of the expense will be for food. This year's festival will feature 50 prepared dishes serving 200 servings. There will also be 25 performances. They requested $419 to rent stancions.
Ritter explained that because they rent stancions every year, he believes it would be best to buy them. They cost $500.
Walker said he was against stancions because Carleton students don't need stancions. He argued that we can build stancions on campus if we really need them. He made a 1,687 bid by reducing their advertising costs to $5, and subtracting $1,000 from groceries.
Ellebrecht said that because senate overrides Budget Committee and rents stancions every year, it might make sense to just buy them.
Ritter made a $3,218 bid, reflecting a full bid plus money for to buy the stancions. He said that this is one of the most important events of the year, and that 500 people are expected to attend. He added a stipulation that $500 be used to buy stancions.
Walker argued that the event is only 2 hours long and that it is financially irresponsible to spend so much money on a single event. He believes it is necessary to have fewer servings and fewer dishes. He added to his bid a recommendation that if the senate absolutely needs stancions, it should buy them.
Schak made a $1,782 bid, reflecting a slightly different distribution of money.
The voting was as follows:
Walker's $1,687 bid with recommendation to senate: 6 votes
Ritter's $3,218 bid with stipulation: 2 votes
Schak's $1,782 bid: 1 vote
The recommendation of the committee is $1,682 with the recommendation that senate buy stancions if they are essential to the event.
Request 4
Tim Viet
Tim Viet requested funds for a mixer event for the group which would feature a Vietnamese dessert named Che.
Pond asked if there is Vietnamese food at the International Festival. Tim Viet responded that there is, but that it's a seperate event.
Nierengarten asked if the food was prepared as a group. Tim Viet answered that the event is based around sharing of food. Nierengarten asked why it was scheduled for 7:00PM. Tim Viet said there was no reason.
Tim Viet explained that it would be publicized with word of mouth and the email list only.
Ritter recommended that Tim Viet apply to AltBev.
Gee asked if it was AltBev does it still have to be open to the whole campus. It does. Gee was concerned that it did not sound as if it was open to the whole campus.
Walker said that in the past they have decided that if it is publicized through email lists, it is open to the whole campus.
Pond pointed out that the event was scheduled for the 11th, the day after the request. She asked if it was too late to send out an email. They responded that yes but other people were handling the invitations. Tim Viet recommended perhaps delaying it until next week.
Walker moved to postpone the request until next week. Budget Committee voted unanimously to postpone.
Request 5
The Rugby Team now has a coach who helps the team twice a week. The coach lives in the twin cities and drives down to coach the team. He is doing it for free, but they want to provide some kind of compensation for him. It is split into $520 for transportation and $180 for added compensation.
Walker asked if other Club Sports have coaches. They didn't know.
Nierengarten asked what the Rugby players pay in dues. They pay $65. Right now they have 45 players but expect some to drop out.
Duane asked why $180 and they responded that it was a few dollars per hour.
Pond asked what the $65 pays for. It pays for membership fees, paying referees, paying for equipment, and a tournament every spring. $30 is for social activities.
Ritter said he would be meeting with people at the Rec soon to see if there was a better way to organize coaches for Club Sports teams.
Walker said that although he is normally opposed to instructors, he thinks Club Sports directors are different. He thinks that there are issues of safety and team benefit that may justify coaches for Club Sports.
Pond said she agrees with Walker but thinks that if $30 is for social fees, than perhaps they can pay $5 per player for the coach.
Walker argued that social fee should be seen as separate from club fees. He made a full bid.
Pond said that she still felt $40 was reasonable for Club Sports dues. She made a 500 bid, assuming that 40 players could pay $5 per person to make up the rest.
Ritter made a $0 bid. He said he didn't see the difference between this and a dance coach, and that hopefully they will find a better way to deal with this in the future.
The voting was as follows:
Walker's $700 bid - 1 vote
Pond's 500 bid - 4 votes
Ritter's $0 bid - 3 votes
1 abstention
Walker's bid was eliminated.
Pond's 500 bid - 5 votes
Ritter's $0 bid - 3 votes
1 abstention
$500 is the recommendation of the committee.
Request 6
Experimental Theater Board
The Experimental Theater Board requested funds for their shows this term. This will pay for sets, props, and publicity. There are no royalties to pay this term, so it is a small request. Through ETB's endowment, CSA only pays half of the necessary fees.
Pond asked how many posters. There will be about 50.
Walker made a full bid, calling it an excellent request.
Request 7
Experimental Theater Board
The Experimental Theater Board is seeking to improve the quality of Little Norse by building mock-walls used in sets. This is part of a long-term project to improve Little Norse.
Nierengarten asked why the ETB is doing this. They explained that they are responsible for Little Norse.
Ritter asked if ETB's endowment will cover half of the costs. It almost certainly will.
Walker asked if the ETB was familiar with stancions. ETB was confused by the question.
Pond made a full bid. It stood unopposed as the recommendation of the committee.
Request 8
SOPE requested funds to hold a Contra Dance for Earth in the Great Space. The funds will pay for a dance caller, publicity and the band Contratopia. It will be open to the larger Northfield community.
Pond asked what proportion were students last year. About half. Pond asked if a fee might be possible, and SOPE responded that they are asking for donations for Earth Week.
Nierengarten asked if this was the Battle of the Bands weekend, but there is no conflict.
Pond made a full bid.
Nierengarten pointed out that they are asking for donations. She asked if that was seed money.
Walker said it was not because it is for a charity and not financial risk, not an investment. His concern was that the only environmental aspect of the event was the donation. He said though that perhaps they are celebrating the earth.
Pond said that yes, they are celebrating the earth. The beginning of earth week.
Both Walker and Pond expressed their love of celebrating the earth.
The full bid stood unopposed as the recommendation of the committee.
Request 9
Unashamed requested funds for both publications they are planning for this term. Previously, they came for each issue separately, but Budget Committee recommended last term that they make one big request.
Nierengarten asked what kind of feedback they have been getting. They have been trying to get non-christian religious points of view, and have been trying to organize round-table discussions.
Ellebrecht asked if they are turning submissions away. They have so far printed every submission they have received.
Nierengarten commented that it was a very successful publication and made a full bid. The full bid stood unopposed as the recommendation of the committee.
Request 10
Sexuality and Gender Activism
SGA is planning on publishing a book called When I Knew. It will be stories from alumni, students, faculty on how they discovered their sexuality. The pages were designed by a Carleton design class. There are 35 to 40 contributing authors, and they are predominantly students.
Walker said that he feels that it is similar to magazines like Unashamed which receive a max of $500, or if it is not then it may be personal property. SGA responded that they want to make it a big publication, and are unsure about the personal property implications.
Nierengarten asked how they will be distributed? SGA will be doing a reading and tabling. Nierengarten asked if this will project will happen again. SGA is unsure, but at the moment there are no plans for future publications.
Ellebrecht asked about the kind of book binding. It is going to be book binding.
Pond asked if it could perhaps be a pamphlet. SGA responded that Carleton Printing is not sufficient. They have put a lot of work into it.
Schak asked how many will go to students? More than half will.
Nierengarten asked who was involved. As well as the LGBT community, there were design students and others. In total more than 60 students were involved.
Walker made a $1,250 bid. He said that they need good printing for the good artwork, although he didn't want to fund thing that would go to they alumni.
Pond made a full bid, seeing as this a community project. There will be copies in the library and hand downs. SGA has also collected many sources of funding.
Ritter agreed with Pond and said that the bylaws state that publications do not constitute personal property.
Ellebrecht said he thought they were going to be nice enough that they would become personal property. He remained in support of the project.
Pond argued that it is not personal property when someone takes home the lens.
Walker said that his rationale for slightly decreasing his recommendation was the personal property bylaws.
Pond said that Budget Committee should encourage truly exemplary community projects.
The voting was as follows:
Walker's $1,250 bid - 4 votes
Pond's $1,500 bid - 5 votes
$1,500 is the recommendation of the committee.
Request 11
Project Friendship
Project Friendship is organzing a group trip to the Minnesota Science Museum. Attending will be the directors, Carleton volunteers and Project Friendship kids. They must charter a bus because campus drivers are not allowed to drive minors.
Pond asked how often they do trips. This is their second trip this year, they went to a Zoo earlier this year.
Ritter asked who paid for the zoo. It was a donation from the Northfield community.
Schak made a full bid.
Walker said he sees how this helps Carleton students, but in a way it is the CSA donating to a charitable cause.
Ritter said that this is in some way Governance Committee's decision in chartering the organization with funding.
The full bid stood unopposed as the recommendation of the committee.
Request 12
Men of Color
Men of Color requested funds to defray the cost of Down from the Mountaintop, the James Baldwin play. Tickets are free and will be distributed through tabling and online. Other groups have donated $3,000 dollars already. If CSA does not fund it, other events from the week long synopsium will need to be cut. There are 400 tickets and they have already given away 200.
Duane asked if all 400 tickets will be given away. They will, although not all will go to Carleton students.
Nierengarten asked about advertising, it will be advertised through KRLX, Northfield News and other sources.
Ellebrecht asked about the accompanying dinner. The purpose of the dinner is to meet and discuss the book.
Pond made a full bid, pointing out that in a way it is sponsoring a full week of activities. The full bid stood as the recommendation of the committee.
Request 13
Men's Lacrosse
The Men's Lacrosse team has been doing a lot of fundraising to support the growth of the team. They are holding a banquet to talk about the future and thank the benefactors. There will be 75 to 80 people using Carleton catering services. The whole event will cost $1,400. The Lacrosse team is asking for help supporting the cost. Each player has given $300 already.
Pond asked if they have used the Crepes Stand. They have not, but are willing to.
Nierengarten asked what they have done for fundraising. They have donated themselves, made shirts and stickers and solicited donations from parents and alumni. Running the team costs $20,000 per year and they receive only $5,000 from Club Sports.
Nierengarten asked if they have considered meal exchange. They only expect one third of the attendees to be on Sodexho, and got no clear answer from Sodexho when they asked.
Ritter was critical of the event because it is not open to the whole campus.
Walker said that the guidelines stipulate that 50 percent of the seats are Carleton students.
Nierengarten said she was impressed by the fundraising efforts and personal commitment.
Gee said that if an email list means an event is open to the campus, then this event must also be deemed open to the whole campus. He emphasized that he did not believe either were really open to the campus.
Pond said she saw a distinction between Club Sports and most clubs.
Question and Answer was reopened to allow Lacrosse to say that they strive to make Lacrosse open to all students. Lacrosse is expensive but anyone who wants to join can and will receive financial help if necessary. Other teams are very expensive.
Pond asked if the event is open. Lacrosse responded that it is a unique event featuring many facets of campus. They have not advertised but it is known on campus that they are planning a big weekend.
Ritter said he believe that it was good that lacrosse is open to the whole campus and that he supports efforts to keep it that way. He made a full bid which stood unopposed as the recommendation of the committee.
Budget Committee adjourned at 11:20PM.
For corrections to the minutes, please contact CSA secretary Robert Martin at firstname.lastname@example.com

Mother of god how many shots have we missed in the paint? That's more frustrating than anything.
worst coaching job i've seen in a while

Can we please replace Dun with DJ? he was doing a better job
We are in love with the jump shot right now, who is running this team right now? Get something high percentage please!

Are you ****ing serious?
I will never understand how a player will take a three with no other players to rebound for him if he misses. We do that a lot.
Why doesn't Thaddeus Young start?
Look- how many minutes can Tyler handle right now? 7 minutes is pretty good for less than two quarters of play- I'm sure he'll be back in the game now- McBob has 2 and will probably be frozen out till the 3rd. Can't risk him getting a 3rd in the 2nd.
People are complaining about going to the paint .....
We've been in the paint about 12 times, and made 2 shots. We've missed a ton of layups. It's not like we're only shooting jumpers. Geez.
we need to cut it to 10 b4 half

Collison's been pretty awful tonight. I'd rather see AJ.
I can't believe we're playing this poorly and to the 76ers no less.
i think we have missed 5 layups
Honeymoon is going to be over soon if they keep this up. Bout time for the P's to get in the kitchen and make me a samich!
Honestly dont think we can harbour all the blame on the coach 2nite! the players are out there stinkin it up and not trying, and if anybody should be pulled right now its granger, hes not turned up!
Good god. This is amazingly awful

Let's just say that the last few years haven't quite so golden for firms that dig precious metals out of the ground. After exploding higher during the Great Recession and reaching about $2,000 per ounce, gold has been on a one-way ticket downwards. The combination of lowered inflation expectations and an improving global economy basically zapped much of the precious metals appeal for many investors and speculators.
That has affected the gold miners share prices in a big way, with the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) falling about 61% since hitting its peak.
However, times could be changing for gold miners.
According to investment Credit Suisse (CS), many of the issues facing he gold miners could be subsiding. Cost cutting is the name of the game for many of the stocks in the gold sector, while mine closures have helped reduce supplies. Meanwhile, the current macro-economic sentiment bodes well for higher gold prices down the road.
All of which mean that the gold miners could be a big buy in the weeks ahead. Here are five of the best gold mining stocks to buy today:

Yoh…a reader risked life and limb taking this pic, but it may all be worth while because it is possibly the greatest Jean Pant Criminal pic of all time. We may have discovered the overlord of jean pant criminals. I've tried for years now to eradicate the social crime of wearing jeans while training, but alas this pic is proof that we are losing the war.
Taken in Cape Town this specimen of someone working out in jeans at the gym is without a doubt the best pic ever submitted by a reader.
The danger is palpable.
The clarity is superb.
And the taker even added some Instagram magic.
Behold…………i give you a massive jean pant criminal sporting the elusive jean hot-pant.
Oh my magical tits that is glorious. And the photographer deserves a Pulitzer or something.
All previous jean pant criminals must bow down and pay homage to their new leader.
And i guess this is as good a time as any to look at some of the previous jean pant criminals that have graced these pages.

Pogba ready for step up
Mathias Pogba is looking forward to the opportunity to play at a higher level following his move to Crewe Alexandra from Wrexham.
Last Updated: 07/07/12 8:47pm
Mathias Pogba is looking forward to the opportunity to play at a higher level following his move to Crewe Alexandra from Wrexham.
The striker rejected a new deal with Conference club Wrexham in order to sign a two-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months, with Crewe on Friday.
He is delighted to have the chance to play in League One next season and the 21-year-old believes he is ready to test himself outside the non-league ranks.
"It is a great opportunity for me to come and join a good club like Crewe," Pogba told the club's official website. "My agent rang me to tell me that Crewe were interested in me and I knew that this would be the club for me.
"I have spent time in the Conference and now I feel as though I am ready to make the step up. Having the chance to play in League One was the big factor for me because as a player you want to play as high as you possibly can.
"I really enjoyed my time at Wrexham and they gave me a chance but I want to test myself at a higher level.
"I managed to score goals for Wrexham and I want to do the same at Crewe. I can play anywhere across the front and have played on the wing in the past. I would describe myself as powerful and quick, and I like to score goals."
