DNR faces court case over wolf hunt
The wolf hunt has gone to court.By: Tammy Francois, Lake County News Chronicle
The wolf hunt has gone to court.
Last week, two environmental groups that say the public did not get enough of a chance to weigh in on a state-approved wolf hunt in an area that includes Lake County, filed suit against the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources . In their complaint, a national conservation organization called the Center for Biological Diversity, and Howling for Wolves, an organization with the goal of educating the public about Minnesota's wolf population, filed suit against the DNR. The two groups have asked the Minnesota Court of Appeals to grant a preliminary injunction to halt the wolf hunt scheduled to begin Nov. 3.
The DNR's Minnesota Wolf Management Plan, issued almost a dozen years ago, provides for a 5-year moratorium on wolf hunting after the animal has been removed from the endangered and threatened species lists. Last year, however, the Minnesota Legislature did away with that provision and authorized the DNR to implement a wolf hunt if it provided an opportunity for public comment. The wolf was delisted from the endangered and threatened species lists effective in January of this year.
In lieu of a formal period of public comment, however, the DNR issued an online survey, which the plaintiffs contend was inadequate.
"The state rushed to issue wolf hunting and trapping rules without giving people a real chance to voice their opinions, especially considering the tremendous controversy around hunting and trapping of Minnesota's wolves," Colette Adkins Giese, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement on the group's website. "State officials should have followed the law carefully to make sure they fully understood how the public felt about their decision."
The survey had attracted several thousand responses, however, answering the question "Do you support hunting and trapping for wolves in Minnesota?" Of the 7,351 who answered, 5,809—or 79 percent—said they did not support wolf hunting and trapping, according to the DNR's webpage outlining survey results.
The webpage goes on to say that the results of the survey would not be used to determine whether or not to establish a wolf hunt. "The survey was not a referendum on whether to hold the season but to elicit comments on how the season would be implemented," it stated.
The DNR defends its approach to the management of the wolf population through establishment of a hunt. "The DNR recognizes there is a wide range of opinions toward wolf hunting and trapping, but all Minnesotans should know the DNR's primary wolf management goal is to ensure the long-term survival of the wolf. The DNR's conservative approach to this first season is based on sound conservation science and principles," DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr said after the lawsuit was filed.
Al Edberg of Northshore Wildlife Control, a company specializing in trapping animals that run afoul of homeowners, sees it this way, "I would not want to see wolves gone, but I just don't find anything wrong with the hunt," he said. "If we don't control the population, nature's going to control it. Nature's way is crueler than we ever thought of being, " he added, referring to diseases such as mange that have been showing up in wolves in the region.
The DNR limited the number of licenses for the hunt at 6,000. Six hundred of these will be for trapping. The harvest target for wolves in the northeast zone is 117, with a statewide harvest target of 400. The cost for a license is $30 for Minnesota residents and $350 for non-residents.
Closer to home, local activists have also taken up the cause. Reyna Crow, a spokeswoman for the Duluth-based Northwoods Wolf Alliance, has been holding Saturday protests in downtown Duluth.
"We have a broad group of people who want to protect the wolf," she said. "Kids, grannies, vegans, hunters, conservatives and liberals—it's refreshing to see so many people involved.
"I'm involved in this issue because it's my obligation to honor these animals as part of the public trust—for children and future generations," she continued. "Wildlife is part of the natural environment. If anyone can own an animal, they belong to us all. We have a responsibility to them."
Crow and the Northwoods Wolf Alliance will be hosting Wolf Walk 2012 at the Civic Center Plaza in Duluth October 20 to gather like-minded community members and try to raise awareness of their cause. "We have had sufficient feedback to indicate that there is overwhelming support for what we're doing," said Crow, "no matter what happens on Nov. 3, we're in this fight. We're not just focused on this season."
About the protests and the law suit, Edberg is philosophical. " No matter what, there are going to be people who oppose it. That's just the nature of who they are."

The lights are on
What's your favorite civilization? Sharpen your diplomacy skills and argue who's the best. Just keep it civilized, people!
This is the thread where all of you shweinhunds who play Germany on Civ can brag about your superior tanks,warriors,and industrialisim.
I've got that boom-boom-pow.
I'm the Mother Flippin'....
I find your comments show your lack of maturity. Gamers who play as Germany in Civ. are not special in any way other than the fact that they are playing as Germany. I for one find this thread to be insulting as well as useless.
If you think life is fair, then you're doing it wrong.
Monocle smile!
I find that the reply you just posted:
a) Elevates your status as a troll.
b) Shows you do not have an appreciation for historical context nor Germany's "warlike" trait and exclusive unit, the Panzer.
c) Try to sound mature in a futile attempt at even making sense.
Please do not do that any more.
I'm not disputing the fact that through history, the German civilization has made great strides in warfare, but what you have said here is blatantly making fun of Germans by saying that they are uptight, bragging jerks, which they are not. Not many things get on my nerves, but targeting a group of people because of their ancestor's actions does.
The Germans' prowess is well worthy of bragging rights, and I'm part German myself, so I wouldn't tease them.
Their prowess would be worth bragging rights...if they had obtained it fairly. During WWII, it was Hitler's maniacle, disgusting, and completely racist ideals and actions that made Germany so powerful. I am not satying that this was not the common German people's fault; they couldn't do anything about it.
Do you know what I think you two are argueing about something silly and that any CIv can beat any Civ it just depends on who is playing as that civ
Perhaps Warship19 has a point. Let's just agree to disagree, eh The Shadow...?
You're right. Argument settled.

Orange Sherbet
It may be the dead of winter but that doesn't mean I've stopped craving ice cream. I'm definitely eating it less often than I do in the warmer weather, but from time to time nothing else will do when it comes time for a snack. Though mint chocolate chip will probably always be my first choice, sometimes I just want something totally different. That's exactly what happened recently when the urge to make ice cream struck. As I was trying to decide on a flavor, I saw the giant bag of oranges in my fridge and it hit me - sherbet!! I love orange sherbet, and have been meaning to make it for a while. Why not try it now in the midst of citrus season? I can't find much to love about winter but the wealth of gorgeous citrus fruit is definitely a highlight.
It turns out that making sherbet is really easy once you get all of the oranges juiced. I don't have a juicer so I was doing it by hand, and have to say it was sort of fun, maybe even therapeutic, up until about the 6th orange. The 7th and 8th were even less fun. All I could think about was watching episodes of the Barefoot Contessa where she uses the fancy electric juicer and makes it look so easy :) Oh, quick tip - be sure to zest your oranges before you juice them. Even though the recipe doesn't call for much zest, you can freeze the leftovers so you'll be all set next time you come across a recipe that calls for orange zest. I just throw mine in a resealable bag - I've got lemon, lime and orange zest stockpiled in my freezer.
The first thing you'll notice about this sherbet is that it doesn't have the intense orange color you're probably used to seeing from the ones in the store. I actually enjoy those faux orange versions, but this one blows those out of the water - it's far more delicious than any of the store-bought varieties I've tried. The flavor is bright - very reminiscent of a creamsicle - and the texture is light. I'm still on the fence about the pieces of orange zest in the sherbet; they looked pretty but I didn't love the stringy texture. So, I might leave them out next time, but otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing.
Orange Sherbet
from Alton Brown (via FoodNetwork.com)
7 oz (1 cup) sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (approx 2-3 pounds oranges)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups very cold whole milk
Combine all of the ingredients except the milk in the bowl of a food processor (a blender would work too). Process until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the milk. Whisk to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can serve immediately, but the sherbet will be soft. For a firmer texture, transfer to an airtight container and place in your freezer for at least a few hours.

this brings me back to my childhood (where we of course had the screaming orange version...), and it sounds like it could be actually good for you! I'm sometimes put off from using my ice cream maker because of all the cream...

Beautiful sherbet! Have to laugh about juicing. I was like "Oh, that's good-she enjoyed it! Oh--wait..." haha! I was lucky-my KA food processor came with a juicer attachment. I don't use it often, but when I need it, so nice.
I agree about the zest! I blogged a lemon lime sherbet a while back. My suggestion? After zesting, run a knife through it to get smaller pieces. And I freeze zest, too, for zest emergencies! - January 26, 2011 at 9:28 AM

- Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction said...
Great recipe! I'm with you.. I can eat ice cream all year long. I have never made sherbet, though, so I'll have to give this one a try.
And, I have to say that just the other day I was watching Barefoot Contessa and admiring her juicer. :) - January 28, 2011 at 3:32 PM
- Eliana said...
Hmmm - yummy yummy! No matter what the temperature is outside, I can enjoy frozen treats any time of year. This sounds delicious. Thanks for the note about the zest. I will give this a try and possibly leave out the zest as well.

Good morning welcome back after a little hiatus the political -- -- are back.
Doug shown -- develop accountability and we have a lot to talk about chance.
We were on Fox News Channel -- are normal Sunday afternoon 5:30 PM.
We briefly mentioned that an hour and a half later at 7 o'clock.
Was going to -- did on sixty minutes a unique interview with the president of the United States and the secretary of state sitting next to each other.
And it was announced that the president himself had asked sixty minutes for this joint appearance.
And we talked about it last night let's go over this now that sure seemed that thing.
If there was anything to say was the -- -- twenty minutes of sixty minutes -- -- but there's a lot behind the scenes.
-- John we are political insiders.
And our job and responsibility.
Is to assess not only what we saw.
-- what it means that I think in this case as your initial comments suggested what it means is far more significant.
Than what was said.
And obviously I'm curious what you impact thing but my reaction was.
It was an effective.
-- thanks.
For the secretary.
For four years of service loyal service as well this particular service.
Vis a vis the tragedy.
In -- -- The bottom line is the secretary of state by taking responsibility.
For Ben doesn't.
And discussing here that she did has kept both during the campaign and after any and all blame off the president.
And in response to me the political implications to be very clear.
But what was said was the president effectively.
The secretary of state.
For the nomination and one is sixteen and I don't think there's anything any other conclusion you can reach.
Particularly given the timing and nature of the broadcast.
Panel that is the nicest way that I heard put -- Arizona going to put it in a blue moon wouldn't go to Roger you've laid it out exactly right good Sam and I just is that you more nice thank you -- understand -- had more laying it out a very rational calm.
If you will.
Todd -- what this is about the answer what's associate political pay -- the first -- Hillary Clinton did which you said by taking responsibility -- all by doing the hearing and being.
Frankly it's to be sadly since I had endorsed her hoped she'd been that would have been present this and we endorse her for 2122012.
Used to be disingenuous and she was about the great.
Fiction of the White House the political disaster waiting Obama in the White House for the -- that they came up with -- the -- She's in which she did what was the life that life was to say that there was a videotape that Paula told this.
What in fact we know that in fact it was a terrorist attack.
And everything that they have -- his and you know it -- at other little let's go backwards part of this the greatest burden for this.
Falls on Romney the worst candidate of -- time and his campaign in the worst ever.
Which was to died on the issue and by diving bail while the mainstream media live by more once my great -- Bob Woodward lived and died.
In the press -- not telling sort.
There were things in the -- which by the way you know I think we should take a minute talk about.
Because Hillary Clinton was masterful.
She was masterful in the set up in the Republican's words incompetent that it -- was for the most part.
With the exception I would say -- -- Johnson rubio home continent asking questions.
-- you didn't watch all six hours I've watched all six hours and I was for the flu will do little I was almost and -- -- so nauseated when I was daughter I just I got from the floor of the hearings hearings I felt both but I felt.
My country but I thought to myself -- -- Watergate about Iran Contra.
When I watch no one in my party willing she -- any criticism.
And by the way just to say several think it is clear to me from the bits -- -- you could take away.
That that date that night was total chaos in the White House that they were totally out of control that the secretary of state did not speak to the president for twelve or fourteen hours.
Was on it was unbelievable secondly that nobody asked anyone -- left the compound what it happened.
Because the Republicans because they failed every had one had to give their roles features.
Know what ask the pertinent questions that should have been asked the same you take this question take this -- the whole thing was eighth just.
Eight a -- sets -- -- stick for a minute I agree with you let's stick to the sixty minutes thing I think you're right it's a pay off.
But at some bigger -- than just Ben Ghazi I think it's also pay off to the big dog Bill Clinton.
What car you rescued.
John president Obama's vacant beginning at the convention but it really turn this race around what that speaking.
Let me make -- -- -- -- you and -- react to it I believe that we're going into the convention the president was even with Romney and slipping.
And the President Bill Clinton after his speech Obama was for.
-- three to five points ahead I'd make the assertion.
-- -- simple Bill Clinton.
Effectively we elected Barack Obama.
Gave them the bolts that allowed him to sustain the disastrous first debate.
And campaigned around the country and kept his support -- is that an overstatement I.
Think god and all only if it is it's only slightly -- -- what he did at the critical moment was focused give Obama's campaign which had no message.
A move that we wish to win.
A message right Sosa took on the Republicans and would you -- guilty cushion.
Which builds in September or so after the first debate.
And went around so I think that date that fact is that I think the -- and I say pay off because of the liberal but.
Look this is -- recognition.
That I all of these guys on delivery and remember the most amazing thing.
The president of the United States picked up the phone.
Whole sixty minutes so that that we can have probably sixty -- for let's go to that -- go to sixty and become a huge hit all the greatest news magazine.
In our if you Don Hewitt the man who made sixty minutes exactly.
Must be spinning in here.
RX I told you off the air and I talked to a producer of sixty minutes last night.
Who told me that she's been there for twenty some odd years that there is no way if Don Hewitt the founder creator.
Managing editor wherever it was for ever of sixty minutes if he were alive today.
-- that tape was shown to have he would not have repaired it he would've said we can't we think what kids or he would have made Mike Wallace did the interview and made -- really -- -- -- them and asked why are we doing to senator what's really behind them what are what is the deal here.
It mirrors what you brought up on Ben Ghazi in general and you hear is his ceiling crawl media -- she's written journal I have.
They're not they they -- the enemy of the people in the country is in his sixty minutes -- decided to do its job is either to be the most democratic outlet but particularly the Obama White House I'll let it Steve croft has made himself nothing but an adjunct to the press office.
And that was his embarrassing -- thing.
It you're right.
Did Michael -- put it toward those who love our it would have been big duke tell me what was going down on Obama would never have called he -- -- we just gonna get right.
That's good point now telling -- what last part of the sixty minutes -- Obama recipes that I -- I've got to say.
All of this my -- so upset because remember their Ford dead Americans.
A new America -- as well I don't know I don't.
The truth and I -- guys -- you and John.
The question Hillary past.
And say how would you respond -- Hillary said there are forward -- a -- Americans what does it matter she said.
If it was paid.
Act of terrorism demonstration.
Ford guys walking down the street whatever she's said what what would you have said to her I would have to do let me tell you some in this tells you.
Just how lame -- all these people are that no one after Ron Johnson is doing it by the no other senator that said.
Madam secretary that is the single most outrageous statement I've ever -- -- see why it matters it matters because our war dead people -- matters for the American people have a right to know the truth.
What happened.
It was it terrorist attack in it.
It may have been politically inconvenient for you when the president.
But didn't we are talking about something much greater are your it would be integrity of our political -- -- Mike Wallace was doing the -- know if your editor comes from the start track nobody on that -- There was no war.
Who indicated other -- -- Ron Johnson followed him.
Who had any sense of patriotism.
Or any sense of personal outrage oldest woman to do their politics they are all miserable failures.
For the.
What we're gonna go on -- -- -- my -- -- was with -- presidential and secretary of state sitting there -- what did you think I think the I think everything you guys -- is right I think that when you have a chance to question the president and the secretary of state and I'm thinking when you're talking.
We've had some -- and the secretaries of states do some big things kick your administration.
Camp David did we ever see Cyrus Vance and Jimmy Carter on sixty minutes -- -- Has resigned after after a tragedy right but that well -- -- he responded because.
-- -- raid failed it was array of post he opposed any and -- failed and he felt that it was announced job on.
Matter of honor to rose to -- the last time in this country that I can remember where a senior official of the government.
-- what we used to be time honored felt the need the that they should resign because.
It's Vegas it's what we've lost all what I watch my party the democratic senate.
Sit there.
And no one of them ever -- critical question.
I've been I think two -- that Clinton is -- he -- it seriously I don't think they've had any great accomplishments to your point John certainly not you know which.
But she has -- she's represented the country I think she's -- some -- that front runner cut.
Front runner she's a nominee in she -- the president.
Well let's wait for four years -- right now she is but let me ask you this what do you think the country don't mean this morning.
If she is he has a presumptive nominee by the way you are in the I don't wanna say because I've their history there but I think -- -- John Deal with the -- Joseph -- Once -- -- what was going on at 725.
Last night in the naval observatory.
Where the vice president's official residence as I say so you'll want and why do you want one thing that did not happen.
Had 745.
Or 730.
Last night the vice president did not pick up the phone.
-- Present the president Paul raffle and 16100 Pennsylvania Avenue and say.
Thank you very much Mr.
President you have to know this is this is in the Reverend Wright people with the -- president.
As president should be I suppose -- But to show absolutely no loyalty regard aka someone who's been pretty but the answer to sixteen is -- -- question of -- list.
I wonder what this country that I think that this is supposed to be the -- and coordination of Jeb Bush vs Bill Clinton.
If this is all this country that people are gonna say all that I've got -- -- Spies but the -- -- actually Jeb Bush he's got a book coming out this spring on immigration reform.
And there's a new Fox News poll out about what the public thinks we had to do -- immigration.
We're gonna come back in a moment for Doug and pat and John -- over the political insiders will be back to talk immigration in about a minute.
A pair were back political insiders Packard -- -- shop job today and now we're gonna switch over to the other hot news item that's Monday morning.
Which is the leaking of the news from the senate that the bipartisan group of senators has reached a deal.
On immigration reform this follows Boehner saying speaker -- of today similar group and the house has reached an agreement.
We only know the broad strokes of it it is somehow to legalize the status of the they call.
Eleven million people who -- undocumented here.
It's unclear yet -- haven't had an announcement what it is but we have a fox poll out this morning which will put up on the screen.
Do you favor a pathway to citizenship.
We're gonna define that in a minute 66%.
Send them illegals back -- 17%.
Having guest worker program which we already do have by the way 13%.
To two thirds of the people in a fox poll.
Favor a pathway to citizenship which during the primaries.
Was translated into amnesty that if you came here illegally.
You will end up under this plan you'll end up.
The same status.
As anybody else who came here legally who spent maybe -- decade waiting in their home country.
To even get entry to the United States than in years to get a green card and then years more to -- an American citizen.
So is there going to be any push back on this thing or are Republicans just going to roll over out of fear.
John you -- -- stand the bipartisan agreement.
It will entail what the fox poll showed as most popular two thirds saying a pathway to citizenship is the most.
Policy and a tough border security program.
Because for the Republican right.
Border security is more important.
Then either of these three options and I think by combining the two you can put to Marco Rubio and Chuck Schumer on the same delicate.
Exodus that Twitter we had a tweet in from Twitter on us from the American -- dot net.
What do you believe is the real reason behind the Republican change of position.
On immigration the loss of the election pure and simple they listen to.
Pat to delta probably -- Doug shows political insiders you don't need to be B.
Expert in the Arista to the end computation to understand.
That -- 12% of the electorate is Hispanic.
And it is a growing part going up try to fourteen or fifteen by the next election.
That if you've written off African Americans and you write off through draconian integration policies Hispanics.
You're not gonna win too many elections if you need to get 65%.
Of the white vote to win.
Bottom line they're they woke up to reality.
You know I I agree with that.
I mean behind and it's clearly that.
Plus is saying is look this is we've got to deal with this problem I think the question is gonna come.
There's I understand the deal -- not only include border security which I've never seen anybody do.
But but the you don't put -- top this -- -- employer sanctions that actually putting real teeth and of that which you have to do.
The real question here is the equities and -- In terms of when that I've I've that we bolsa recent -- nobody to round up eleven million people throw them out.
And the self deportation is that LeBron decided to blow the election with one of the great moments of his early camp in the primary it doesn't work too well -- there.
So the answer is.
The question is why I think -- conferring sums legal status to stay here but -- that pathway to citizenship is not our Jewish.
In -- time consuming because frankly personally.
I would say you can have a green card and stay in the country but you broke the law that has not -- all the people's the way around the world.
You can stay here your children Hughes and her family.
But you're not going to be a citizen but that's my -- position because I think equities matter but I -- think.
Whatever -- -- -- -- and he he cannot say that just anyone breaking the -- we will finally give in on.
So you've got to have something that ends this my point is after this.
If you -- -- the country illegally.
You were smash that you just cannot open the door to a flood waged a war immigration or we just auto and -- national.
One that point -- -- point.
On band says don't they say this every three years or so immigration reform.
Posh more new laws that will not be enforced what a waste of time and -- Here's the thing.
The Republicans found in 2006 and 2007.
That by failing to do immigration.
It hurt the party that point they didn't wake up to reality did nothing.
-- late as I was saying.
They lose they do less they move in Europe.
Regressive direction.
In the run up to -- 2012 election they lose again.
They need 40% of the Hispanics to win is George Bush got in 2004.
This is the only way I think they can get close to it notwithstanding the substance of the -- Doesn't this chat the camaraderie is gonna show us I think.
That this thing will rip apart the right.
Which is the idea big event 323 says -- -- pathway for citizenship.
Exclamation point and and what's not factored in news.
The Republican base doesn't want to give amnesty to these people don't believe that a and there are going to be very unhappy when the Republicans on the hill give -- -- As far as sitting on what I say we're not done I mean I think maybe that's -- -- -- -- -- the -- -- maybe -- -- everything in this -- should be -- -- on the -- -- But to the extent that we used him tried to maintain and after being -- I've decided -- no one cares anymore.
The Who quit the equity seem to me so it's fair reasonable these people who have -- here -- get to stay.
So thing that you can there's got to be -- compromise here.
The democratic position is simple make also doesn't really didn't vote tomorrow until we get more votes which makes some sense and it works it works and it works and it work -- it and it -- and I want to get to those who -- -- -- decision.
The president just changing the law what it feels like -- loaded in a -- Where I want to get to that the other thing is if they pass this thing that we put on the this will not be negotiated -- you know this is -- tell us.
Eight senators making.
Deal with the -- how the patriot wants this off the table right if it becomes the law of the land does this not invite another wave of the legal immigrant in the answer has to be good -- is it -- to solve the problem here.
But it is not open that door because that door is the one that is the problem.
Right -- -- as everybody else has been to all let's do what had two other things to do very quickly last Friday a federal appeals court three judge panel ruled that the president.
Overreached a year ago when he made some recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board this thing's gonna end up going to the Supreme Court.
And this is the war when he's running for reelection he was found to.
Abuse his power over reach a little bit in making these appointments.
Now that he's been reelected you can imagine the hubris and the arrogance in the White House.
Is this thing and -- go to the Supreme Court and will it be upheld and will he be struck down.
Have his powers' narrative that.
I suspect he probably will have his powers.
Narrowed a bit but to -- the political significance.
Is this is the first time I'm curious what pat thanks.
That the president in his overreaching.
Trying to control all the levers of power has been told no by anybody like in a clear and convincing way.
The Republicans have in the Supreme Court on health care ended up -- all pulling that thing right with the Republican Chief Justice -- T gotten progressively of the.
The most bizarre decision in the history -- -- -- do -- -- -- gymnastics but look this is a court it is this as a unanimous decision.
It's not being appealed to the -- hearts Circuit Court would suggest to me would have done I think they went over the -- -- departing recent.
But the truth of the matter is.
They have said that this is he can't do what I think if you get the Republicans -- what you brought weapon for the reason you just said.
-- it's the first time he's been told though his position is and I listen to Dick Durbin.
Hypocrite on the whole time on -- on Marshall out of the all Democrat.
Who's who would have been -- setting up the that this -- This only system like to stop George Bush he said well you know they won't make the appointments the president -- they had to do something.
This thing up we will you know what we can't wait.
-- the president's doing his own EPA on on what trying to -- push through.
Climate control cap and trade through the regulatory process get the Republicans in the the opponents of the president's overreach.
Don't use this as a springboard what I wanna know is a part of the house tomorrow I would define.
The national labor relations board for the president agreed to wage a legal process.
But put them so far you see it's not the Republicans -- -- no -- cut it has been more core and the first time somebody said no mister president.
And the issue was rule of law it should there be -- the president in his inaugural speech that know basically an out of court says yes that's in there would be interest in.
Real fast and we've been saying on here for years that the Republicans needed a positive pro growth agenda we never heard it from -- -- in the house -- senate.
We now have today an article in the New York Times majority leader Eric -- or has announced his agenda.
Which Doug is -- -- Pro growth.
Compassionate agenda using tax credits to help.
Poor people it's an effort to emphasize.
The future technology innovation it's where the Republicans should have been a year ago.
It isn't clear to me.
Then isn't what political insiders was saying for a whole year it is simply not right -- is that it is actually right.
Let's say if we take a victory lap the only thing.
That I can say that makes very little sense bat.
Is why did -- wait until the Republican blowout was clear and unambiguous he tones of the dancers this.
Didn't think they had to before they thought they -- themselves and that we -- to win by.
Being the crappy meaning that whatever no matter what we said no matter what we did no matter what other people tried to tell them.
Now they've learned their lesson there on the verge of becoming the -- Party and that's what is forcing their hand.
Nothing like -- there is a program and development at five surrendered -- break confidentiality.
If you remember there was a reality show called Hogan knows best about Hulk Hogan.
Could Goodell knows best properly and I'll close calls by all -- that'll be perfect.
Via television that -- but this is the old single Johnson's point about you know the thing that -- -- countries among the -- hanging in the Morton right prospect that's -- -- that yeah especially when you've expected to.
I get out of jail free card if this -- got to wrap.
America gets to do so for.
Pat Caddell Doug -- and Joba rule today we'll be back Sunday at 530 on the Fox News Channel and next Monday here on foxnews.com.
At 1030 we thank you for.
Joining us and we'll see you next week.

Hey guys!
Our budding cult is growing, and will continue to grow, and I welcome that. In light of this, I'm adding new moderators and trying to get a handle on some stricter rules of decorum.
I will be more aggressively closing threads and editing posts that are overly violent, graphic, or vulgar.
We want the 2K forums to be an inclusive and friendly place where all people feel safe and free to post, and not worried about reading very disturbing matter.
I know there is a lot of speculation about what you can and cannot do in the game, and we are working diligently to release lots of information to feed your questions and make you excited for BioShock. However, please try and keep your speculations in-line with a forum where a lot of people come to talk.
For example, posting about doing harm to Little Sisters in game will get deleted from here on out. You do have a choice in-game whether to save or harvest a Little Sister, but I don't want to start silly rumors about bad things you can do to them in-game. So let's all work towards spreading the word of BioShock and making sure people understand what this game is REALLY about -- an awesome, dynamic shooter with lots of choice!
Please feel free to post questions or comments, or PM me if you need more guidance!

On Christmas Day, Old Chicago Restaurant employees and 50 volunteers came together to provide a warm holiday meal to approximately 400 homeless and in-need families from the Pikes Peak Community Action Agency.
"This could be the only Christmas for some," said Jim Paulson of Old Chicago Restaurant. "And we certainly hope we can provide that experience for them."
In addition to the meal, children had a chance to meet Santa and receive a gift bag filled with new books, toys and a gift-card for new shoes. It's a thankful day. Both for those who have received, and for those who get a chance to give.
"We've always received positive feedback from our guests of honor and that's the heart-warming aspect of it," says Paulson. "I think that's why so many people are motivated to do this, is to be able to provide for these guests that maybe are going without this year."

A timing problem with a new megachurch in Springettsbury Township might cost it $56,735 in property taxes this year.
Lancaster County Bible Church, which moved into a former Saturn dealership and had its first service in March, has appealed its assessment and is in dispute with York County over whether it should pay taxes on its $2.2 million property for 2012, according to the York County Department of Assessment and Tax Claim.
Churches are exempt from paying property taxes, but are subject to guidelines that determine when the tax-exempt status is granted.
The church made the August 2011 deadline by which it had to file for a religious institution tax exemption for 2012. But the law also required the church to have held a service last year before it can be exempt from taxes for 2012, said York County Solicitor Mike Flannelly, but LCBC held its first service in March.
"Exemptions kick in when the property is used for the purposes of the institution, which basically means in this particular instance, church services," he said. "We've done this consistently in York County and will continue until somebody in a black robe tells us not to."
He said he believes the church, which lost an assessment appeal on April 17, will challenge the law in the Court of Common Pleas.
Bigger problem: The advance planning on exemptions is necessary
to give municipalities ample time to prepare budgets for the coming year without, for example, a $50,000 deficit in tax income, said E. John Fedor, director of assessment/chief assessor for York County.
Fedor said the church is one example of officials' growing frustration with shrinking tax rolls as property values have dwindled during the recession as people appealed their assessments.
Contributing to the problem is the money lost when tax-exempt organizations move into commercial spaces, he said.
In this case, York Suburban School District stands to lose the most, $45,538 of the property's tax bill per year. The township will lose $1,937 when the property comes off the tax rolls, and the county will lose $9,242, based on current millage rates.
Bill growing: Jay King, a commercial and industrial assessor with York County, said the former Saturn dealership is a high-value property, but all properties are subject to the law and it is applied the same for everyone.
"It's pretty clear-cut," he said. "It's the way it goes for everybody. You spent millions on your property ... why not pay a fair share to the municipalities and the school district before you remove (the property) from the tax book for eternity?"
King said the church's bill is probably going to grow about 25 percent higher than the $56,735, based on a reassessment of property improvements he started after the church lost its assessment appeal.
The 10,000-member church paid $3.2 million for the car dealership, 951 North Hills Road, in July 2010.
It spent about $8 million on renovations to create the state-of-the-art facility, said John Zeswitz, executive director of ministries, two months ago when the church was preparing for its first service.
He did not return multiple calls for comment about the assessment issue.

- " Stayed for one night in a nice and clean double bed room. The bathroom was small but well furnished. There is no parking lot at the hotel, but around the corner there is a public parking for $16 per night. Bad things: We could only connect to the wi-fi in the lobby and there was a horrible smell in the hall way areas. Good things: Close to the beach and all the places "to be" in South Beach. Great atmospehere and nice pool. Good value for money! "

- " We stayed only one night on the Tropics and we regretted not staying there more days. The facilities are great even if we did not get to enjoy them at large. The location is amazing, very close to the beach, to Lincoln Road and to Ocean Drive, but still not an excessively busy neighborhood. "

- " Renos were happening while I was there converting rooms to 12 beds (4 sets of 3 levels bunk bed). Someone staying in the top bunk is very high. Could this be legal? They charge you for a 6 bed room, when you are in a 12 bed room. Cockroaches of all sizes . One is shifted every night to maximize profits and schedules. One day I was moved to 3 different rooms. John is very nice, the other staff not so much. Beware of elevator, it doesn't work and I was stuck inside. Profits above all here. "

Thanksgiving is one of the few times a year you might visit select relatives. These situations are almost always full of photo-ops. Looking good and being comfortable, especially because of that large meal, should be a priority during the holidays. We've compiled three different looks from the purely comfortable to casual to more dressy. These outfits are sure to please, even if you happen to gorge yourself on food.
The first look we put together is super comfortable and works great if your family is hosting Thanksgiving in your own home. This outfit won't make you feel too under- or over-dressed. We recommend leggings that can be found at many different stores. These are somewhat more structured than your run-of-the-mill black leggings because they have some seaming down the sides to add a little something extra.
They're stretchy, so they're ideal after eating a lot of food – no need to unbutton jeans! We used a simple V-neck shirt and tucked it in for a polished look with comfy boots perfect for lounging around. We topped it off with a fun scarf to add a pop of color.
In the second look, we used the same V-neck, switched out the scarf and used skinny jeans instead of leggings. The different scarf and the addition of a belt really make this outfit look more polished. This is still casual, but a little dressier.
Last, to go dressy but still within a certain comfort zone, we used a slouchy top over a light pink tank top. A top like the one pictured is great for bigger meals, compared to form fitting tops that enhance the figure. You may not feel as self-conscious with a full stomach in a top like this!
We also included some nail polish ideas for the holiday season. For a more neutral look, you can try a light pink or brown like "My Address Is Hollywood" or "Over the Taupe" by OPI. You can also use a dark red to make your nails pop, such as "Sealed With A Kris" from the Kardashian Kolors by Nicole by OPI, which can be found at Walmart, or to add some sparkle for the holiday, try "Pirouette My Whistle" from the New York Ballet collection by OPI.
However you spend your holiday season, being inspired by these three looks will get you through any situation.

July 5, 2011 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: why do we need seeding games I've contended for years (to all associations) that if seeding games are to be played, then they should mean something. I've suggested to SPA and SSUSA that the higher seed should be home team (or have that option)throughout the double elimination phase of the tournament. From my experience home team is especially advantageous as the tournament progresses. This suggestion, to date, has fallen on deaf ears. |

Aug. 17, 2009 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: game times for Birmingham SSUSA, Will you soon post times for Southern Nationals in Birmingham scheduled for this week, starting Friday - Sunday, August 21 - 23? Also, I have not seen the results from the Eastern Nationals in Raleigh on August 4 - 9. California results are posted the next day. |
July 2, 2009 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: General feelings/discussion/thoughts Whether you like the PPR or not, it is not well defined for the umpire. Something as controversial as this should be a 'black or white' call, much like the strike mat that we use. I'm not necessarily condoning the rule, as the 'middle' has always been considered part of the playing field. However a simple way to enforce this (at least for this year....things do change overnight) and to add protection to the pitcher, is to give the pitcher, especially a mobile, reflexive one, a bigger advantage. IMO, ANY line drive, and I repeat ANY line drive that a pitcher can get his glove on anywhere on the field (not restricted to a pitcher;'s box)is a DBO. This might eliminate some double plays on line drives caught by the pitcher, but would not eliminate DP attempts on ground balls. This rule would certainly discourage hitting the middle against agile pitchers. Hear me when I say, I'm neither campaigning for or against the rule, just stating that if it is a rule, it should have some teeth and some clarity. I may be missing a big point somewhere, but would this not allow the middle to still be live, but also discourage 'pot shots' at the pitcher (which I know no Senior would do), while at the same time rewarding the pitcher for his defensive finesse? I know some purists would argue too many changes already, for which I agree, but, if the changes are being made, at least allow there to be standards by which it can be enforced. |
March 16, 2009 Dale | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Montgomery??? They played 'til about 2:00 pm. It never stopped raining. The fields got too sloppy to continue. They (SPA and Montgomery Parks)did their best, but the rains won out. |

Oct. 24, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pitcher Protection Rule One last comment/suggestion and then I'm outta here..... Lots of discussion on this board has centered around bats, balls, major/major+ team particiapation and team ratings. Seems to me this could all be cleared up with one very simple solution. Let the major/major+ teams hit the 'Senior' bats (as it is near unanimous in this classification to use this equipment). Teams that want to classify as AA/AAA cannot use this equipment. That could serve to increase participation in the M/M+ division and reduce the number of teams that 'sandbag'. (Your word, not mine) to compete/win in the lower division. The biggest complaint from lower level teams are that M/M+ players are playing with AA/AAA teams. My last $.02. |
Oct. 24, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Pitcher Protection Rule Paco, We are in the vast minority (even Dirty agrees with us on this one). I've been down this road before. Bruce says switching to the ASA or U-trip bats would breed 'cheaters'. He plays ball with the major/major+ teams, so why do they need to cheat? So much $$$ has been invested in 'Senior' equipment that it's probably not gonna change, but, why not, if it's safety that 'Seniors' are concerned with. It's just not logical that 'Senior' bats get hotter as our reaction time lessens. Paco, we'll get hammered on this, but, I'm with you |
Oct. 14, 2008 Dale | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Pensacola Tournament Any results to be posted on this tournament? |
Aug. 22, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: more balls than brains You know what, Einstein my boy? It's monsters that are supposed to hit the ball out in less than ideal conditions. |
Feb. 4, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major Plus - unlimited HR's Audie Played a little baseball with and against a couple of '69 Jackson grads ,Red Untemeyer, Mike Sutterfield and a catcher named Moseley. (don't remember his 1st name). I hadn't thought about them in a long time. Don't know that there would be great interest in a wooden bat league, but if that's what they told us to use, I'd be there. Thanks for the invitation to Jax. I'd love to be a part of that, but, I'll make it another time. Dale |
Feb. 4, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major Plus - unlimited HR's I started this mess, so I guess I should end it, or at least, hopefully, soothe some ruffled feathers. We all love this game......We play in the division we play because we feel it suits our game best. I'm a AAA player, always have been, always will be. I love the way the game is played at that level. I had no business sticking my nose where it didn't belong. You guys (Major +) play at the highest level and deservedly so. Of course, my suggestion to play Home Run Derby was just meant to stir things up. None of us, especially you Major + guys, want to boil your game down to a few swings of the bat to determine the outcome. I've followed this thread this weekend and watched you guys rally support for your own league, which would be a great idea. If you re-read my opening sentence, you'll see that I was advocating for unlimited HR's and borders for you, so that you could have more teams. I play mostly in the South and even our AAA tournaments seldom have more than 6 teams. Most of which are the same teams each tournament. I went to High School and played High School baseball in Jacksonville, Florida (Terry Parker, Class of '69) and followed the Warren Motors, Starke Green Machine teams of that era. I still have family there and get down there a couple of times a year. I wish I could make it to your Spring Training so you all could crucify me in person. Great softball is still played there (all ages). I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1970 and have been here ever since. Hollis boys, you made your point, loud and clear and I respect you for your stance. To even suggest that you guys were less than total athletes (although I didn't actually say that) is very shortsighted on my part. Please accept my apology for any of my statements that may have suggested otherwise. I call myself a Christian and try to live that example. I couldn't walk away from this thread without making things right. I'd like to shake hands with you guys at tournaments this year. You all probably don't know me, but I know most of you. Like Charlie Pope said, let's play the game we love, live and let live. Good luck and good health to all this year. Dale Smith Monster Softball |
Feb. 1, 2008 Dale | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Major Plus - unlimited HR's If your Major Plus team was allowed unlimited HR's, with unlimited borders and was allowed to corral the best talent you could find with the best sponsors in your area, would there be any reason not to just play 5 on 5 Home Run Derby? That could be the entire tournament. The talent would be spread out over more teams, the safety of the pitcher would not be an issue, time limits would not be a factor, use whatever ball and bat you wish. This is basically what you all want. Your game is 90% hitting. The other 10% (baserunning (why take an extra base when the next guy is gonna blast one 350'), defense (there are guys at that level who can really play defense, and defensive plays can certainly change the outcome, but why bother, save it for offense), pitching (Einstein, you could still make a difference in this game with your style) Have 5 of the best long ballers on each team. If you don't hit it out of the park, it's an out. Each team gets three outs and then swap sides. 7 innings, add up the HR's and congrats to the HR champs for that day. You can play Double elimination, just like the guys who play REAL SLOWPITCH SOFTBALL. I know it's not softball, but the way you guys want to play the game is not the way the game was meant to be played either. You all have heard of 5-tool players: 1. Hit for power 2. Hit for average 3. Run 4. Throw 5. Field Most of you are probably saying, who is this 'tool'? You are entitled to say that, I can take it. But, these are my thoughts as I read this board daily, listening to the rants about bats, balls, borders and other minutiae. This all began when new associations began to spring up. I'm not sold on strictly ASA, but that's all there was when we played 30 or so years ago. Now all these independent associations are wanting to please everyone with there own 'tweaks' to the game that we played as 20 somethings and will continue to play until they cart us off the field. I know that I would play if they went back to wooden, alumimun or hickory bats and so would most of you, if that was the only alternative. Whew!!! I feel better!!! Thanks for allowing me to let off some steam that has been building over the weeks. I guess I just have cabin fever. Need some softball...... |
Jan. 13, 2008 Dale | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What Would You Change - Other Items It seems to me that all the 'hot button' discussion about boundaries, player/team reclassification, HR limits could be solved by simply allowing teams to classify themselves. Hold each classification to the following: AA- 0 or 1 homerun, then an out AAA- 2 or 3 homeruns, then an out Major - 5-7 homeruns, then an out Major+ - unlimited These are maximum or minimums for each division, Determined by the Summit or maybe each individual Tournament Director. Allow Major+ and maybe even Major teams to recuit nationwide. I truly believe that if HR limits were capped, and exceeding that limit resulted in an out, then there would be fewer teams playing out of their division (sandbagging, as you call it). Teams and players could play where they felt they could compete and not be made to 'move up' in classification simply by winning a tournament. It seems from the majority of posts on this board that players and especially pitchers don't think that hitting the middle needs to be addressed. I say this because that always seems to be the first 'knee jerk' to any post calling for an out after reaching the HR limit. It seems simple enough, but no Senior Association wants to take this stand. It would seem to take a lot of the current guesswork out of the Summits hands (i.e., rating players and teams). Adhere to the ASA bat list and let the big boys 'duke it out' with their altered bats..... Stay with 1-1 count..... Limit courtesy runners to 2/inning and only allow them for the runners before the 1st pitch is thrown to the next batter... Give T-shirts for All-T teams. Bag the rings....... 99% of you guys (and gals) would play this game for donuts(or bagels) and pay your own way just to continue playing a game we love with guys that are our best friends. We all like a little recognition for our efforts. Have your name announced at the tournament site. The Senior Softball News is good about giving recognition to All-T's. Blow up the article and post it on your website. I know I'm sounding a little facetious now, but we guys are Senior Citizens. We've had our time in the sun. Play for the fun of it. But, play to win..... I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! |
