What do you think of merit-based pay for teachers?
I don't know if the question is still relevant, I haven't followed it until recently but I heard it was quiet a debate at the Presidential election and wanted to know what he TED community thought of this.
Is merit-based pay for teachers a good idea... There are a lot of pros and cons about the topic: Will it help the education of the students (the main goal of the would-be arrangement)? Will the amount of teachers have a positive boost? Will it make the teachers too competitive, lessening the cooperation between them?
Please write your ideas.
(English is not my first language so excuse the grammatical errors and easy language)

Nov 26 2012: The problem with the idea of merit based pay for any occupation is the fact that so many variables come into play. For example, I am a 15 year old highschool student, and know for a fact that many of my peers would make merit based pay for teachers a nightmare. So many of them misbehave and just dont care about school, that if teachers were payed based on grades, attendance, behavior or any other median, the students they taught would greatly affect their pay. That being said, it might convince teachers to be more stern and to try harder, but that still would cause problems, as students in my age group have little respect or worry about their teachers or education. We need to find a way to either cut those students out or to get better ways to show them that their education now will really affect their future. Until then, no other school changes will benefit greatly our modern community wether it be students, staff, parents, or teachers.
Nov 26 2012: This is true, as there are some teachers that dont have a great care or love for the job. I have fund however, that many teachers do honestly enjoy teaching and being around students, my grandmother taught for 40+ years and loved it. That being said, with the school districts cutting their rights and the students acting like idiots, it takes the joy out of teaching. Now a days, teachers are to busy taking care of behavior and political issues to actually enjoy the teaching experience that most people hope to find as teachers.
Nov 26 2012: From what you are saying there are 2 different problems.
One is more of a question, what is the metric for a teacher.
The second is a matter of ethics or rules for schools. This too has 2 sides. For sure these days it has swung way to far toward being PC and the rules are from the top down. I think the main problem is with students who are 15 and up. At this age if they are not going to go to college let them work. As to the kids who just want to create trouble there are programs for them which basically boil down to making them confront the realities of life through techniques that work. If the kids are not that bad then the catholic schools have a handle on creating a culture that embraces learning.
Nov 26 2012: Mr. Gilbert, you would be amazed at the number of students grade 8 and under that have the same problems as teenagers. True, some of this is due to age, however a lot of it is from seeing the behavior of the older students and a lack of accountability/responsibility in parents. I have seen kids in 3rd grade in my little brothers class that will have the same problems as kids in my age range when asked to due certain things. The behavior problems is rapidly growing down the age ladder. I do believe in your view on the college thing though, as it would make school better and cheaper, allowing for a smarter population and a better world.
Nov 27 2012: The Catholic nuns are good at creating an environment that keeps kids on the straight and narrow.
Some kids are more trouble and have to be sent away. But there are programs that will get them straightened out for drug problems, etc. Friends of mine have sent their kids to them, they consist of being sent out into the wilderness and being put into survival mode to where they have to knock off the BS in order to survive. In effect it makes them face life as basically they are not facing life.
And as I said before some kids just need to go to work. Some kids need hands on work.
Nov 27 2012: Thank you, that helps my understanding. I wasnt sure what you meant with the catholic school part. And yes, that kind of event or schooling would help many teens to see that BS wont carry them through life, and hopefully allow them to return to school or the workplace as more responsible and mature individuals. On the other hand, this may act as a stressor or a focal point for anger that may lead to more problems. It really depends on the individual and how the program is carried out, though for the most part it sounds like a really beneficial idea.
Nov 26 2012: Tyler, I support a duel cirruculum where student could opt into either a college prep course or a manual trades course. It is my opinion that this would help to relieve some of the problem. Kids would now be doing course that they chose .. not forced to do. As you say there are still those who would be disruptive. There is no easy answer, but there has to be a start .... perhaps this would help. What do you think?
All the best. Bob.
Nov 27 2012: Mr. Winner, I myself am currently attending a college prep school, along with roughly 400 other students. I love this school, and have learned greatly from it. I do believe that a college prep school is a great place for students, though it would be to fast paced and ssrict for some people, and thats their choice. A trade school would allow those who wish to not attend college prep to learn a job, the problem being they are then specialized to that field if they dont like it/ get fired. That would be a great system to adopt, if we could get around that one problem. Perhaps a general trade school then more specialized ones based on interests or something along those lines?
Hope that helps
Nov 27 2012: Under manual trades: Facilities maintenance (carpentary, plumbing, concrete, welding, electrical, heating, air conditioning, etc ...) Automotive tech (analyze, repair, remove and replace, wiring, electrical, schematic reading, osiliscope, body work, etc ...) Every trade has more than one component which makes the graduate qualified in many areas. How would being a trades person differ in job security that say a degree in english language, or a degree in physical education ... they would certainly have limitations if they were confined to the area of expertese.
I agree that nothing is set and there are certainly avenues to explore but a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.

Serious questions are being raised about whether a government program designed to give the disabled greater opportunities and access has turned into a private chauffeur service, with regular bus and subway riders picking up the half-billion-dollar tab even though the practice is perfectly legal and no one is breaking any rules.
You've probably seen Access-A-Ride vans on the streets, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They take disabled people wherever they want to go for the same $2.50 price as a subway or bus fare. And that even includes unlimited trips to the casino.
As long as the passenger has an Access-A-Ride card from the MTA, the driver is not allowed to question their disability or their destination, which is given to them on a trip manifest.
The MTA provides Access-A-Ride to comply with federal regulations, according to Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. She said it is mandated by federal law so that the disabled can get equivalent transportation service.
The Access-A-Ride vans are allowed to go anywhere in the city. That includes the ResortsWorld Casino in Ozone Park. On three separate occasions we spotted six different vans dropping off or picking up people.
The MTA said the average Access-A-Ride trip costs $51, and there is no limit to how often someone can use it, or for what purpose.
"It's not within the government's job to say if this is a good thing or a bad thing -- you can go anywhere the subway or bus goes," Gelinas said.
The MTA said it is trying to provide transit services to the disabled while reining in costs. The agency said the 2013 budget is $491,930. In 2014, the MTA expects that to rise to $515,180. That is about half a billion dollars to service the 163,759 people in the program, or about $3,003 a year per person. The MTA has made buses easier for disabled riders to use, and some subway stations have elevators.
Gelinas said that is the way to go.
"The more you make the regular mass transit able to accommodate everyone, the less you need these vans," she said.
The MTA is also trying to encourage the disabled to use more taxis and livery car services when possible by issuing vouchers. The agency is also rolling out a plan over the next 18 months to give Access-A-Ride participants free MetroCards to take mass transit.

Three bear hunters were sitting around the cabin the night before the hunt bragging about their past hunts.
The cabin boy was listening and went over and said, "You guys make it seem pretty hard on capturing a bear."
They all laughed and said, "It is hard; do you think you could bag one?"
"I will bet each of you $100, I can go out and bag you 2, if you will skin them."
They agreed and the cabin boy went out into the night.
Soon he spotted a big grizzly; he waved his arms and started hollering at the bear. The big bear started after him and he started running for the shack. When he got close to the shack he started yelling to the men inside, "Open the door!"
They looked out and saw the bear chasing the boy. Just as he got to the door they opened it and he stepped aside and the bear went in. The cabin boy slammed the door and locked it from the outside. He shouted, "Okay, skin him and I'll go get the other one!"

We first met Julie Cauvin when she and her family returned from the Boston Marathon. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, but finally with recent events there is a little relief."These people have ruined so many lives. It's absolutely senseless," she said.Cauvin, her husband, Dave, and her daughter, Paige, were all emotional earlier this week as they talked about being separated at the finish line after the deadly explosions Monday afternoon."Which was probably only for about ten minutes, but it seemed like eternity," she said.Now she is somewhat comforted. She can tell her daughter law enforcement is getting the bad guys."Looking at it as a mom, I'm glad, I'm ecstatic that this will come to an end," Cauvin said.However, it's little consolation given the lives and the limbs that were lost and the suffering of so many families."It still doesn't take away from all of the people that are still hurt and that have lost so much," Cauvin remarked.She also said she and so many others will continue to run. If anything, this tragedy has made the marathon community that much stronger."They have brought athletes together. They've brought the United States together, but they're not going to rock the marathon world. We're pooling and doing more runs and raising more money, and we're going to be out there stronger. We're going to be out there faster, and we're going to be out there with a cause."

The WAO Group
by Tim Ajax, Director
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary
Some people monkey around a little, some people monkey around a lot, and then there's Tim. He's a prince among primates, presiding over hundreds of fellow bipeds in the often-brutal Texas outdoors. There's no ape escape for Tim and his crew, but no matter. They love to help macaques, baboons and vervets live out their lives with as much freedom as possible. And like peeling a banana, Tim's blogs take you to the good stuff inside — with a steady supplement of Texas weather updates, of course!
Spring, and a Construction Crew, Arrive
Spring has arrived in all its glory, and with recent drought-quenching rains the sanctuary is busy with the colors and sounds of nature — and construction.
Work has begun in earnest as we prepare for the arrival of the primates from the bankrupt Wild Animal Orphanage in nearby San Antonio. More than 100 monkeys and one baboon soon will be transferred to their new home in south Texas.
The USDA contracted with an experienced primate veterinarian to perform all the pre-release veterinary work, which included health checks, identification, sterilization and vaccination. This was a huge undertaking but we're happy to report that all went well thanks to the professional and compassionate veterinary care and the assistance from the two WAO animal caretakers who know these animals so well.
Texas Purple Sage Services has started construction on the first of two four-pack enclosures that will house the rescued primates. Each section of the four-pack will contain over 10,000 square feet with trees, grass, climbing structures, safety areas, a swimming tank and wide-open skies above.
The hard-working crew is making great progress and if all goes well we may receive our first group of macaques in three to four weeks. We're very excited, and though there's a tremendous amount of work to be done we're looking forward to the day when the rescued monkeys explore their new surroundings for the first time.
It's no small endeavor to take on the placement of more than 100 primates, but we know we can count on your continued support to help us make sure these lucky animals have the best captive life possible.
Until next time …

Testimony began Tuesday in the murder trial of Aaron Schaffhausen in River Falls, and on the very first day, jurors heard an emotional 911 call made by the mother of the slain children.
Although he pleaded guilty, family members will still endure difficult testimony as prosecutors seek to prove that Aaron Schaffhausen was a calculating and jealous man who acted out of revenge, not insanity as the defense claims.
Public defender John Kucinski paints a very different picture, claiming that a Schaffhausen's actions were the result of a rare and complex psychological condition.
After the opening arguments were made, the chilling 911 call made by Jessica Schaffhausen left the Wisconsin courtroom in stunned silence.
"My ex-husband just called and told me he killed my kids," Jessica Schaffhausen told the 911 operator.
Ailene Splittgerber, a police secretary with the River Falls Police Department, was on the other end of the line when that frantic phone call was made.
"She was very upset -- hysterical, hyperventilating," Splittgerber testified. "She stated her ex-husband had called her and told her that she could come home now that he had killed her kids."
During the 40-minute call, Jessica Schaffhausen did not know that her daughters were dead; however, knowing her husband, she feared the worst.
Aaron Schaffhausen sat motionless as jurors heard the recording. He has already admitted to killing his three young daughters, but what jurors now have to decide is why: Were the murders driven by mental illness as his defense attorney claims or did the 25-year-old murder his daughters out of a deep desire to punish his ex-wife for the couple's divorce?
"The evidence will show that he is not insane," said prosecutor Gary Freyberg. "He's just mean to a degree that's almost inconceivable for the rest of us. He's mean to the point that he put his desire for revenge above the lives of his children, whom he simply viewed as objects."
Prosecutors will try to convince the jury that the slayings were premeditated, citing the fact that they were committed the day after the couple's six-month waiting period to remarry and that Aaron Schaffhausen brought the weapons from North Dakota.
Wisconsin law requires 10 of the 12 jurors to agree that Aaron Schaffhausen suffered from a mental disease or defect in order to determine whether he will spend the rest of his life in prison or goes to a psychiatric hospital with the chance of being released someday.

Members of the Tracy Rotary Club went for a hay ride Tuesday, Aug. 20, through the Mount Oso Vineyard south of Tracy.
Jeff Brown, general manager of the family-owned vineyard off Bird Road, narrated the tour, while friend Mike Petz drove the pickup that pulled the wagon.
Brown said harvesting of grapes in the 700-acre vineyard started two weeks early this year, with chardonnay and pinot grigio grapes initiating the crush. All the harvesting is by machine, mostly at night, Brown said.
Members of the Tracy Sunrise Rotary Club had the same tour Wednesday morning.
Earlier, Tracy residents toured three local wineries Saturday, Aug. 17, during the sixth annual Wine and Music Festival.
La Bonne Vie Cellars, on Lehman Road, and Windmill Ridge and Ramon Rios wineries, both on Linne Road, took part in the tours, which featured wine, food and music.

GENERIC NAME: verapamil
BRAND NAMES: Calan, Verelan, Verelan PM, Isoptin, Isoptin SR, Covera-HS
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Verapamil belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers (CCBs), which includes amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia) as well as others. These medications block the movement of calcium into the muscle cells of the coronary arteries (the arteries supplying the heart with blood) as well as the other arteries of the body. Since calcium triggers contraction of muscles, blocking entry of calcium relaxes the muscles that surround the arteries. This relaxation allows arteries to become larger so that more blood can flow through them. Thus, verapamil is useful in treating and preventing chest pain (angina) resulting from spasm (contraction) of the coronary arteries that reduces the flow of blood to the heart. Relaxing muscles in the arteries of the rest of the body lowers blood pressure and thereby reduces the pressure against which the heart must pump blood. As a result, the heart works less and requires less oxygen-carrying blood. This allows the heart to work with the reduced flow of blood caused by coronary artery disease and prevents angina (which occurs whenever the flow of blood to the heart is inadequate). Verapamil also decreases the conduction of electrical impulses through the heart that control the coordination of contraction. As a result, the rate of contraction slows. Verapamil was approved by the FDA in March 1982.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Immediate release tablets: 40, 80, and 120 mg; sustained release caplets: 120, 180, 240,and 360 mg; extended release tablets: 100, 120, 180, 200, 240, and 300 mg; Injection: 2.5 mg/mL
STORAGE: Verapamil should be stored at room temperature 15-30 C (59-86 F) in a tight, light- resistant container.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Chest pain (angina) occurs because insufficient oxygen-carrying blood is delivered to the muscles of the heart. Insufficient oxygen-carrying blood may be the result of blockage of blood flow in the coronary arteries due to coronary artery disease or spasm, or an increase in physical exertion that increases the workload of the heart and the demand by the heart for oxygen. Verapamil is used for the treatment and prevention of angina resulting from coronary artery disease and spasm as well as from exertion. Verapamil also is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Verapamil slows electrical conduction of the electrical impulses through the heart and has been used to in treat abnormally fast heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation, and in the prevention of recurrent episodes of rapid heart rhythm originating from the atria. Although it is not approved by the FDA for migraines, verapamil is used for preventing migraine.
DOSING: Verapamil can be taken with food.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Concurrent use of verapamil with a beta blocker (another class of medications that slow heart rate) can cause profound and dangerous reductions in heart rate. Verapamil can raise the levels of some drugs in blood including digoxin (Lanoxin), theophylline (Slo-Bid), cyclosporin, and carbamazepine (Tegretol). Therefore, monitoring of the levels of these drugs is important to avoid toxicity.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Broad Spectrum Magnesium: The Unsung Hero
While magnesium is essential for supporting hundreds of biological functions within your body, the most important role it plays is protecting your heart and entire cardiovascular system. Magnesium is one of your body's most critical nutrients. It offers great heart and cardiovascular support, optimal bone strength and formation, and helps maintain proper muscle and nerve health.
I have found that four forms of magnesium work most effectively. They include orotate, citrate, glycinate, and turinate. When it comes to bioavailability, citrate, glycinate, and turinate are superior to other forms of magnesium. And greater bioavailability means that your body not only gets more of this wonderful mineral, but is better able to utilize it throughout your body. So, no matter how your metabolism works, you're covered!
This Broad Spectrum Magnesium formula provides you with all four of these highly bioavailable forms of magnesium. Plus, it's an easy way to ensure you're getting the right daily dose of this critical nutrient. As important as the right forms of magnesium are, you need to make sure you are taking the right amount of magnesium every day. I believe that everyone, especially those people with specific heart or cardiovascular concerns, should be taking at least 400–800 mg of a broad-spectrum magnesium every day, regardless of how much magnesium you think you are getting in your diet.
Broad Spectrum Magnesium helps:
- Support healthy circulation and blood flow
- Maintain normal blood pressure levels
- Promote relaxation and dilation of blood vessels and arteries
- Boost energy levels
- Maintain healthy bone density levels by regulating calcium absorption.
By taking the best forms of magnesium in the correct amounts, you are not only helping to protect your heart, but you are ensuring the health of your entire body. Clearly, magnesium is a must-have for overall health and well-being.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

TORONTO – Marvel Entertainment's Iron Man 3 is to be super-sized for release on Imax screens internationally, from April 25.

IMAX to convert Smithsonian to laser projection
By Associated Press on January 15, 2013
WASHINGTON — IMAX Corp. is beginning an initiative to transition museum-based theaters to new laser digital projection, beginning with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
IMAX is announcing plans Tuesday to upgrade the Smithsonian's three theaters in 2014. New technology uses lasers instead of light bulbs to light giant movie screens.
IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond says the company invested $50 million to develop laser projection. He says IMAX's roots are in museums, and it aims to keep that business as film becomes obsolete. Digital projection allows museums to show more Hollywood movies.

Thick smoke and orange flames could be seen shooting out of a long-abandoned home on Detroit's northwest side late Sunday.
Detroit fire fighters worked in the freezing cold temperatures to contain the blaze, and did their best to keep the blaze from spreading to the house next door.
"We got calls from neighbors, and got here as quick as we could," said Detroit Fire Captain Derrick Williams.
Fox 2's Ronnie Dahl spoke with the lady who lives next door. She arrived home and saw the blaze, as a hopeless feeling set in.
She could only stand by and watch as a steady stream of water doused the flames. The heat damaged her car and melted the siding, but it stopped there.
All things considered, she got lucky.
The flames are believed to be the work of yet another arsonist. Fire fighters call them firebugs.
They're a dangerous bunch, putting the lives of fire fighters at risk on a regular basis, and destroying neighborhoods, one house at a time.

Elegant and Simple Our wedding is in less than a month! It is my 2nd wedding and we are keeping it very small - immediate family only - 25 guests. But I still wanted to have a wedding ceremony and a dress that made me feel like a bride, but not the teenage princess that I was at my first wedding. But, I also knew that I did not have time to order a gown or have much tailoring done, so I would need to find something that fit off the rack. I had already picked this dress out as a possibility while shopping online, but the website said that it was only available online, so I did not expect to find it in the store. When we saw it there, I was ecstatic! They not only had the dress, but they had it in a variety of sizes, so that I could try some on and figure out the best size for me to order. When I tried it on, I was so surprised to find that it fit perfectly! I won't even have to have it tailored at all! I have a pear-shaped figure, but the skirt of this dress helps to hide my bottom half. The bodice of the dress has a nice, fitted, structured feel that fits the narrowest part of you, on the ribcage. The empire waist really makes this an easy dress to fit a variety of figures! I am 5' 5" and the dress just drags the floor. I will have to wear 3" heels to get the hem up just enough. This dress is beautiful without being "over the top". I can't wait for the opportunity to wear it in December! December 1, 2013
Great Dress seemed to be well put together... just had a family friend sew in some bustles & I choose to cut out the spegetti straps... then it was perfect! I'd call it a little classic, a little modern, a little simple w/just a little flair (meaning all the layers, split front & bead work on the front). October 17, 2013

Dogs Hunting Dogs
Using Greyhounds to kill coyotes
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Ann | April 26 2010 | Permalink
Will ranchers not be happy until there is no living thing left on the range besides their cattle? Every animal dead, all native vegetation overgrazed and every water hole polluted. I have to ask myself what kind of person would develop such a despicable and inhumane activity and even subject their own dogs to such senseless harm? I am constantly amazed at how humans can continue to find new ways to entertain themselves in progressively more depraved acts far worse than those we have seen them engage in before. We are lucky this type of rancher is a dying breed. A relic from the violent past when people shot each other for a simple infraction. In other words, the uncivilized, lawless wild west.

Your ignorance is BLISS! The NEWTIMES depiction of this "sport" was very one cited. Before expressing you OPINION, do a little research of your own. Coyote have no natural predator in these rural areas. They will eat a newborn calf alive and its mother. The carry dieases along with destroying herds.

The polarization on this subject seems to promote little in the way of intelligent conversation. I have been one of an outdoorsman, a rancher, a hunter, a hiker, a camper, a naturalist, and a fisherman almost all of my life. Coyotes are not demons, nor are they saints. They are very adaptable wild canines that filled the void vacated by the eradication of wolves (a wolf will normally kill any coyote, or other canine, that it can catch that it perceives as invading its territory).
From my somewhat limited experience over the last few years with coyote coursing dog men and their dogs, is that it is a fair sport with little of the brutality ascribed to it by the antis. There is rougher treatment of cows and horses going on, and much more wide spread. Cattle dogs can be particularly nasty, but any working or hunting dog can be brutal. How many meat eating Americans have visited a slaughter house? Might be many more vegans amongst us. But, as mentioned before, nothing really can compete with a well fed cat for sadism. They will keep stabbing their prey with their claws until it squeals no more, and then go find some other little animal to torture to death. Many antis for some reason call this "play".
All of the dog men I know devote a considerable amount of time time and devotion on their dogs. Yes, sight hounds (i.e. field greyhounds) travel at high speed and with a lot of desire to chase and catch. Minor injuries are common, major injuries do occur on a rare occasion, though some dogs are very good at avoiding injury altogether. Whether a dog gets injured or not, they LOVE this game! They are NOT in it to please their owner. Most would run themselves to death chasing coyotes, if given the chance. About the only training that goes into them is to come when called, and not chase other animals that they might see in the pursuit of a coyote. For the dogs, it is a little less rough than the game of American football; and for the coyote, much less of a problem than a pack of wolves moving into their territory.
As with any human activity, there are those that will sadistically abuse the sport, but they are in the minority. I encourage fellow sportsmen to raise their standard of behavior to all living things, including their dogs and the species that they pursue. The dogs are beautiful in "flight"; the coyote amazing in its speed, agility, and cunning. Coursing coyotes has never threatened their populations, just created faster and smarter coyotes. From personal experience, the coyote dogs are far more humane in dispatching a coyote that they have caught than a coyote is dispatching a deer that it has surrounded while protecting its fawn.
The biggest threat to wildlife these days is loss of habitat. I see far more concern, effort made, and money spent on habitat for wildlife by hunters than by all the anti-hunting groups put together as their money seems to get spent on high priced advertising and saving individual animals that should have perished to protect the species gene pool from weakening.

The people that think hunting cyotes with dogs is wrong in any way can be added to the long list of failures which brings out great nation down. I say this respectfully, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE FORMING AN OPINION. You base your opinion off of a limited, uneducated and weakened state of "city life" perception. Outside of the cities is a whole different world, one that has existed unchanged for over a million years. Humans have integrated themselves into this world in the shape of farms and ranches spread across the country side. On the farms and ranches man has kindled the foundation of commerce through raising livestock, furs, and labor. This foundation later led to evolved organizations "cities" who changed the very nature of human existence. Cyotes are approximately 750,000 years older then "cave men" and they continue to survive today in their original form. They are predators, scavengers, and survivors. The chance of humans eliminating the species less than 0%. I have more cyotes around my house then I am capable to neutralizing. In the mean time, they will continue to kill my pet cats, the neighbors small dogs, lower the small population in my area, kill deer and farmers cattle that you all enjoy to eat in your fine city restaurants. As for the hounds used to hunt them, I have trained hunting hounds most of my life and let me explain something about their personality. My dogs loved to hunt, they adored it and they hunted in a pack with a sense of purpose. If my dogs did not get out to hunt for some time they would just lay around and sleep in a depressed state. However, when hunting time came their enthusiasm would bring tears of joy to my eyes. People are not dog fighting by doing this, you just don't have the knowledge to see the truth of their existence. The dogs are be allowed to hunt and fulfill their sense of purpose. It's a perfectly natural process of this earth and who are you to challenge mother earth with four and a half billion years of experience.

I don't understand the "kill or be killed" mentality. Surely with technological advances, we shouldn't have to resort to killing anything and everything that might threaten livestock?
Not to mention the brutality of having an animal trained to kill another animal (and then possibly leaving both to die)...! Dogs have the capability to be man's best friends becuase they have the innate desire to please thier owners. It sickens me when dogs must resort to violence (such as this and dogfighting)in order to please thier owners...and then be rewarded by being left to die in some instances!

After doing some goggling on the computer about hunting coyotes with greyhounds I found some interesting but not all true stories. The New York Times about Mr. Hardzog now that is true coyote hunter. He cares enough for his dogs to carry with him the necessary things to care for an injured dog. Would someone who is into dog fighting do that? The people who use dogs to fight other dogs profit from it but betting, and they don't care about there dogs if they win well if not they die. This is not what Mr. Hardzog or any of us coyote hunters are about. We do not train our dogs to kill other dogs greyhounds are very remarkable animals. They live with other greyhounds in the same pin and don't fight amazing. This blood sport you call it is not that at all, blood sport is pit bulls or other dogs train to fight to the death in a controlled environment where the dogs have no avenue of escape. The coyote has all the avenues it needs. It is at a full run before the greyhounds are even let out of the dog box. The coyote knows all the hiding places and holes it is his turf he can get away and many times they do get away lot more times than not.
Mrs., Wecker of the Washington fish and wildlife Commission said it is "dogs ripping apart dogs" she is wrong there. Well fist the greyhound has to catch the coyote, 98% of the time the coyote is well over 50 yards to ¼ mile away before the greyhounds are even released from the dog box. I have hunted for years and yet to see a coyote ripped apart by greyhounds or the greyhounds ripped apart by the coyote. 99% of the time you can't even tell the coyote was killed by a dog. They are not ripped to shreds, and there are no marks on them unlike hunting them with a gun where there is bullet hole and blood. Sometimes the dogs get cuts on there legs, or noses but not ripped apart. Mrs. Judy Paulson of the Greyhound Companions of New Mexico said "the greyhounds are left for dead." I don't know where she got her information but it was not from an Oklahoma coyote hunter at all. The only things we train a greyhound to do is load and unload form the dog box, the rest is left up to them. They love to run and when they are chasing a coyote to them it for fun.
Apparently none of you have seen a dog fight where they fight to the death. I know you have never been coyote hunting or you would have a different opinion bout it. I invite you to come here and go with us to see really how we treat the dogs, and see that we don't leave them for dead. You will see there is no ripping apart. I would invite you see a real dog fight like with the pit bulls, then you will see a blood sport, and death and ripping apart. Why try to ban something that has been around longer then most of you have been? Ban the gambling at the dog tracks those dogs get injured as well, and kept in a small confined crate all the time at the track. They are pushed and pushed till they aren't wanted or needed any more, where the coyote hunting greyhounds get old and happy doing what they like.

I think that they should ban the sport of hunting mice and gophers with cats! They just rip those cute li'l mice apart! Why I've even seen them play games with gopher skulls after they've stripped the meat!
And speaking of cats, another thing they should ban is the sport of hunting cats and small dogs with coyotes. I don't know if you've ever watched them up close and personal, but that pack'a coyotes will just grab fluffy and just rip her limb from limb. And you wouldn't believe how much she squeals and squalls before they finally get her to shut up and die.

Ms. Wogan, this IS traditional hunting with dogs. It has been done for thousands and thousands of years, yes, even before there were guns and gun dogs. It is in fact one of the oldest and most natural uses of dogs, and is exactly why ancient breeds such as greyhounds, pharaoh hounds, tazis, salukis, afghans, etc even exist. One doesn't have to "train" one of these dogs to chase rapidly departing furry critters. In fact, one must work hard to train them NOT to chase and eat the neighbor's toy poodle, family cats, rabbits, chickens, or what have you.
I suggest that you would benefit from a bit of education directed at obtaining an improved understanding of the natural world.

I live in My where coyotes came after the Mississippi froze 35 years or so ago. They kill pets, livestock and have been reported to have attacked a person. They have decimated the population of rabbits which has caused a decline in raptor populations. My has recently legalized limited night hunting due to the problem.

Step Four:
4. Soooo... now we get to pull it all together! Firstly, find a nice ribbon or string and trying to keep to the middle, tie all your cut outs together. Now add some flowers, and foliage along the ribbon/string. Add two different types of scatters that suit your layout, keeping in mind that step 5 need some room, so keep the scatters close to the center line and behind all the flowers/foliage. Now add a bit of foliage between the background and top paper. Add shadows as you like.
Post your layout by Monday, September 24 2012 The next step will be posted Tuesday, September 25 2012
