Workers in an Amazon fulfillment center in Delaware will vote to decide if it should unionize, according to reports.
Employees "successfully petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to hold union elections," according to Bloomberg News. The union election petition was filed by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers on behalf of the Amazon facility's 30 equipment maintenance and repair technicians in Middletown, Del.
John Carr, a spokesman for the IAMAW, said that both Amazon and the union have agreed to the election held on Jan. 15. However, the union only covers the 30 technicians, not the more than 1,500 other workers at the facility.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Amazon has strongly opposed to organized labor, including monitoring for union activity, so it's interesting to see that the company is hanging back for the election.
"We respect the individual rights of our associates and have an open-door policy that allows and encourages associates to bring their comments, questions, and concerns directly to their management teams," Mary Osako, an Amazon spokesperson, told Bloomberg. "We firmly believe this direct connection is the most effective way to understand and respond to the needs of our workforce and do not believe there is a need for third-party representation."
Amazon is facing another union fight in Germany, but Amazon doesn't appear to be in a hurry to end the strikes. However, labor leaders see the Middletown fledgling union as a "foot in the door."

As for the Vintage line, what's the list of everyone who hasn't been done from that?
Count me in on resculpts too... Figures like Boussh Leia are the kinda things that make me giddy because I think their previous versions are so terrible. My resculpt list, just off the top of my head, would be like this:-Nein Numb (reuse Ten's head and make a new hat)-SA Endor Han Solo (I'd like a removable softgoods coat, but a coat ala Agen Kolar's robe... Now that'd make EVERYONE happy on that figure I think)-SA Bespin Luke... Can't stand the Saga figure at all. Too pre-posed, not to mention the feature.-SA Hoth Han Solo... Terrible figure overall IMO. Give him a removable hat, a removable hood (or softgoods) and I'm game for that figure.-Hoth Leia-SA Hoth Luke (I'd like to see the Saga sculpt sligthly improved upon to include a working holster, maybe damaged and undamaged heads)-Hoth Rebel Footsoldier (I want this more than the tan-vest Vintage figure personally)-SA Qui-Gon-SA Obi-Wan E1-SA Scout Trooper (New bike, to-scale, would be nice. Something that's nicely done like Stass Allie's BARC is)-SA Death Star Trooper (re-use the head/helmet of the POTF2 one even)-X-Wing Luke (still haven't done this figure justice)-Snowspeeder Luke-"Imperial Officer"... True grey-tuniced Officer. I'd like Veers w/removable armor, helmet, and hat to be the base for this figure really.-Red Leader (pack-in blows)-Klaatu, Nikto, and Barada... Given the Cantina wave last year, I know these 3 can be done ala their vintage figures and look 100x better than the 3-pack figures looked.-C-3PO (multiple points of articulation utilizing the articulation socket style that the ROTS figure has... It can be done)-ANH Ben (VOTC sorta bites).-ESB Boba Fett (utilizing VOTC Fett as a basis but with some new "tweaks").-Bespin Guard (dunno where they got the open jacket from).-SA Bespin Han (why not? I like the POTJ figure, and I'd say to even re-use the torso, upper-arms, and headsculpt, but some new lower arms, more articulation, and new articulated legs would be welcome).-SA Endor Rebel Soldier (same as Hoth Trooper, I'd like a new figure).-SA Rebel Fleet Trooper (Same as Hoth and Endor).-Imperial "Technician"... That POTF2 sculpt is beat.-AT-ST Driver (see above).-ANH Luke (VOTC bites).-Wicket (how about one that's properly sized).-R2 w/pop-up saber (just a compartment for a hilt, no gimmick).-R5-D4 (duh).-Han Stormtrooper-Luke Stormtrooper-Chewie w/Chains (VOTC Chewie, just with a removable dog collar... I'd be content with that).-SA SnowtrooperAnd that's just off the top of my head, and just classic stuff save for E1 Obi and QGJ. There's a lot of sub-par figures out there that don't "fit" quite as well next to some of the stellar home-runs we got like VOTC Han or the VOTC Stormtrooper.

KDE 3.1: eWeek Review, More RPMs
Update on Wednesday 12/Feb/2003, @01:39: Gunter Ohrner has written
Growing attention of media
The last year's article about KDE 3.0 was only one page by same author, this has three. Also there is a pleased separate review of Konstruct at http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,879509,00.asp.
OT: Knode
Yes KDE is developing fast.
By Me at Tue, 2003/02/11 - 6:00am
Re: OT: Knode
KNode just is developed slower. http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.2-features.html shows planned features and it seems yenc read support was forgotten. Not that I would think that a offline mode and better killscoring of indiviual users wouldn't be a nice addition.

There is no complete debian package for sid ?

Re: Debian ?
deb http://people.debian.org/~ccheney/kde-3.1.0-1 ./
Use these addresses until the Debian FTP masters have allowed them all to go into sid.
Re: Debian ?
deb http://people.debian.org/~schepler/ ./kde3.1/
for the all-important kdegames :) I think all we're missing now is kdevelop.
For those who don't know, new packages have to be processed manually by the FTP admins so they can take a little time to enter the archive. Once they are in, updates should be fairly rapid. kdebase and kdelibs have already seen a couple of updates.

Problems here...
I installed kdenetwork from that source and kmail won't start. (error msg: "kmail: relocation error: kmail: undefined symbol: _ZN8DwString4nposE") Is that a shared library problem?? Does anyone know how to fix it? Baring that, how can uninstall all of the packages that were installed when I typed "apt-get install kdenetwork"? Removing kdenetwork itself doesn't seem to remove those packages.

Re: Problems here...
> kmail won't start
I didn't try these packages yet, so I cannot help there, sorry.
> how can uninstall all of the packages that were installed when I typed
You definitely want to take a look at aptitude. apt-get itself cannot do that, only with the help of deb-foster and/or deborphan. However, aptitude can, much more easily than with apt-get, deborphan and deb-foster and it's very handy in various other, different ways.
For me, aptitude definitely is a "must have" to manage a Debian installation. It features a command line interface and an ncurses based, menu controlled UI with mouse support. Both are equally powerful, you can choose one depending on your preferences. I personally like the ncurses interface very much.

I've tried to install KDE 3.1.4 on Sid. Apt-get had removed large number of packages and stuck. I decided to return to 3.1.3, but after I did kmail didn't work ("kmail: relocation error: kmail: undefined symbol"). Thanks to your admice it's back to the living.

Add one more note of thanks for the tip on this one - during the process of fixing my horribly confused testing/unstable machine I got this error - would have had no way of knowing how to fix it.

Worked for me too. I was stuck without my trusty kmail for ten days!
Now the question is: how the hell would I make out what to do? I mean with libmimelib1, without reading this thread? I've been trying many things... including downgrade a lot of stuff, without success. What was the clue that should have pointed me at libmimelib1, and that so obviously I've been missing?

RH 8.0 rpms
Yes, finally RH8.0 rpms, good work from the KDE for RedHat Linux guys.
The only problem for me is that one certain member from my household is playing CounterStrike, and I don't want to ruin his game :(

ldap support
I was trying to use the 3.1-adressbooks' ldap-support and failed. I entered the server name, port and base dn.
Entering something in the incremental search field did not work. In the help-file, they talk about a 'magnifying-glass-over-a-book'-icon in the toolbar, which I do not have.
Yesterday, I was told it's because I don't have the sql-io-slave installed, but i thought sql and ldap are quite unrelated?!
So, did anyone get that to work? If yes, how? Also, I have only around 200 entries in the directory, can I have my address-book automatically filled with these entries? I don't want to have to search for them every time.
By ben at Tue, 2003/02/11 - 6:00am
Re: ldap support
I tried this earlier today and had some success. After configuring kaddressbook to use one or more ldap servers, you need to click one of the toolbar icons. For me, I believe it was the right most icon. I'd be more specific, but my test machine is at work. If you don't have this icon, as you've said, you should try configuring your toolbar and adding the icon. The incremental search does not search the ldap servers. I find this feature very cool, but does anbody know if it's possible to get KMail to see the LDAP contacts? Currently, I have to add the LDAP contacts to my local address book for them to show up in KMail.
By matt at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: ldap support
Is it possible to get the old way to work of kadressbook without ldap ?
By Shift at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: ldap support
kaddressbook doesn't require ldap. it defaults to a local text file with options for things like LDAP or a binary file (dunno if that last one made it into 3.1 or not off-hand though)
By Aaron J. Seigo at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am

Too much GUI config support?
From the article summary:
Strange how only a short while ago reviewers complained that Linux GUI config tools had too little coverage...
By Andy Marchewka at Tue, 2003/02/11 - 6:00am
Re: Too much GUI config support?
I don't think the criticism was for the level of support, but rather for the way it's organized. I think he's right on the ball with that criticism too. Why are Window Behavior and Window Decorations not in the same submenu? Why are Style, Theme Manager, and Window Decorations separate items (they all sound like the same thing)? What is the Desktop submenu for anyway -- I thought KDE *was* the desktop. Why is there a Behavior panel and a Window Behavior panel?
I'm mostly playing devil's advocate here -- I've learned to navigate the control center after years of experience. For a newbie, though, I can't imagine it makes any sense at all. Heck, it doesn't make any sense at all to *me*, I just know where things are now. I think it might have improved slightly since 3.0 but it's still a godawful mess.
Also, maybe it's OT but I don't see the resolution control panel that was mentioned in the review. Any hints as to where I can find it?

No, I said right click on konqueror background! The context menu!

By Me at Thu, 2003/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: Too much GUI config support?
i've used all three. the Crew New subdir doesn't get in the way IMHO, but the other two belong elsewhere (namely in an Add Ons submenu and in the file properties dialog respectively)
By Aaron J. Seigo at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
.. oops wrong forum ... anyway yes. Think about how to simplify simplify simplify KDE. The KControl needs some serious love and making over from a UI and HID specialist.
And yest it's nice to have nice file picker widget and all (compared to Gnome - ugh!) but, uhh, folks - KDE's filepicker is OUT OF CONTROL. Thje filepicker itself is turning into a miniature application. I think it good to pay attention to MacOS/NeXT etc. less crap = faster and less bugs.
Think asthetically too ....

> less crap = faster and less bugs
By Peter at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: MODERATE PARENT UP!!
No! Wrong way IMHO! The fine thing in KDE is that it's _not_ oversimplified. If you want a "simple" OS/GUI choose Windows, MacOS or Unix/twm or fvwm2 maybe.
I can't see what's wrong with KDE's filepicker. Yes, any file picker _is_ (and should be considered) a miniature application. The KDE folks are the first to do it right since Peter Norton... (yes, I know mc ;). They give me the opportunity to do things more than one way, and being a Perl geek I consider this to be a good thing.
Same goes with the KDE control center. I can't hear those complaints "oh boy, that's too much gadgets here, I really can't find the one I am looking for..." (ok, we'll add it for you ;). Thinking that you can reduce the "searching" by removing gadgets while maintaining configurability is thinking too simple... (pun intended ;).
KDE means Unix, Unix means power, power needs control, control needs a center. Simple isn't it? ;)
Aestethics is something one can't discuss about, so I leave it at saying that KDE is the desktop environment with the best functionality : sexiness ratio I know of (and thrust me, I know many). I also like Gnome, and WindowMaker for example, but both of them spend much on looks while not reaching the usability of KDE for me. They are (and traditionally were) better when it comes to themeing and such. But that's not on the top of my wishlist anyway...
The good news is, there _are_ simpler (in your sense of simplicity) things out there. But for myself, I want my KDE to stay as "gadgety" as it is.
By Alexander Wessel at Thu, 2003/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: MODERATE PARENT UP!!
This is interesting to say the least. I use both KDE and Gnome. I would have thought KDE did much more/(cared more) about the 'look' than Gnome. Not to say Gnome is bad. I like it better than KDE in terms of the look.(Hate Windows). I lke its functionality though. I totally agree that the situation is not good. Its too difficult to figure out what to configure to do what. Here is a proposal for you people who do the developing. I liek the side bar in the control center, but I do not think it should have sub menus. Just the categories like, 'Desktop Look', 'Sound server', Kernel Tuning' and so on. The other submenus should be tabs across the top of the Control Center window. No more submenus after that. Maybe pop up dialogs. If it can't fit into that scheme then something wrong.
Do aggregate some of these options.
Do not have 3.1 yet though, using Redhat. Will get down to getting it soon.
By Maynard Kuona at Mon, 2003/02/17 - 6:00am
Re: Too much GUI config support?
Cramming too much into each panel would be way too confusing. KDE (and probably *most* things open source) offers a lot of flexibility, which means a good deal of detail that can be configured under each category. And I don't think the community would have it any other way -- I certainly like my apps to look and behave "my way". So each config category has to be fairly specific. I'm really happy that KDE takes care of so much of it.
I use M$ at work, so I certainly haven't seen a better navigation model to make suggestions from. [Does anybody know where the "Console" applet from NT's control panel is under Win2K? It's amazing that a screen buffer is not allocated to each window by default.]
If you've got suggestions for improving the Config navigation, I'm sure the folks at usability.kde.org would love to get into a dialogue.
Personally, I'm really happy with the KDE Control Centre's "Search" function. I use that whenever I don't already know which panel holds an option that I want, and it's never let me down. Very powerful and innovative, in my opinion.

Indeed, scholarship and gardening are related, to wit:
Cooper, David E. A Philosophy of Gardens (New York: Oxford University Press, 2006).
Keswick, Maggie. The Chinese Garden: History, Art and Architcture (Cambridge, MA Harvard University Press, 3rd ed., 2003).
Ross, Stephanie. What Gardens Mean (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1998).
Taylor, Patrick, ed. The Oxford Companion to the Garden (New York: Oxford University Press, 2006).
And any number of books on Zen and gardens.
In our household there is a division of spousal labor between academic life and gardening, although I fancy myself to be rather accomplished when it comes to digging, raking, sweeping, weed-pulling, watering and the like; my dear wife, on the other hand, is a master gardener (not long ago even certified as such!), for which my condominium neighbors are most grateful.

Panelists were three of the campus' accomplished female faculty-researchers. They provided strategies about building toward successful recognition including: actively seeking out public forums to discuss work, both on and off campus; relating with senior faculty and campus leadership; developing mentor relationships; and promoting the work of other women, including nominating female peers, or self-nominating for high profile campus awards, committees and leadership positions.
Over a five-year period, from 2007 to 2012, the percentage of RIT campus-based, academic awards received by female faculty was slightly more than 12 percent, according to new research by AdvanceRIT into results of the faculty award process at the university. In this study, the gender distribution of university awards is proposed as an indicator of progress toward achieving parity for female faculty.
Panelists Callie Babbitt, Manuela Campanelli and Kara Maki, all RIT distinguished faculty, have been among that small percentage of female faculty recognized for both effective teaching and influential research. They talked about balancing strategic, purposeful conversations and activities with more personal approaches that allow female faculty to be seen as accomplished as their male counterparts.
Babbitt, assistant professor in RIT's Golisano Institute for Sustainability, recommended women seek out opportunities to become recognized as subject matter experts by responding to media requests, presenting regularly at conferences, speaking at community events and collaborating on interdisciplinary projects. To her, it is a way to advance information about her field of sustainability and to support efforts of women in STEM fields.
"Recognition for your work is an important part of career advancement," said Babbitt, a 2013 recipient of the National Science Foundation's CAREER Development Award. "But it also provides a platform from which I can share advances we're making in sustainability and help get female students excited about STEM careers."
Campanelli agreed, and added that being visible allows for different conversations with peers, and seeking out or becoming a mentor. Early in her career, the professor and director of RIT's Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation had a mentor who was strong in her field and who gave good advice about the sometimes puzzling and lengthy process of looking into, and applying for, research grant opportunities.
"Seek out a mentor and use the experiences that person has to share. Value what they have to give you," said Campanelli, who recently was designated as one of RIT's Trustees Scholarship winners, given in recognition of significant contributions to research. (Professor Jennifer Schneider of the College of Applied Science and Technology also received the prestigious award for this academic year.)
What mentors give can vary from informal encouragement toward goals to the more formal recommendations and endorsements for grants, the tenure process or for collaborative projects, said Maki, an assistant professor of mathematics who came to RIT in 2011. She was designated a Rising Star in RIT's College of Science in 2013. "Sometimes you have to actively seek out and identify allies or advocates—in your field and within your college. For example, sometimes people may 'tip their hand' about who they are in the positive review they have written on your paper or grants. I think of these faculty members as advocates."
Confidence in their abilities, a desire to learn as well as teach, and an understanding that they must support each other was also key to career advancement for the panelists. But it also meant advocating for other women, and "talking about each other's work," said Campanelli.
Connectivity Series programming will continue discussions about that work and other professional development strategies for faculty. More information about the series can be found on the AdvanceRIT website, or by contacting the series coordinators, Sharon Mason, associate professor, information sciences and technology, and Carol Marchetti, associate professor, mathematical sciences.
The AdvanceRIT team's new research, titled "Faculty Awards at a Large Private Institution: An Indicator of Evolving University Values," will be presented at the 2014 American Society of Engineering Education annual conference scheduled for this June.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced this afternoon that he has appointed two U.S. Attorneys to investigate possible leaks of classified national security information by Obama administration officials.
The move comes amid growing calls from lawmakers demanding that the Obama administration look into a series of national security-related leaks to the news media, including those related to the President's "secret kill list" and to the Stuxnet computer virus. Some Republicans have suggested that the administration purposefully leaked the information for political gain.
In a statement Friday, Holder said that the two prosecutors — Ronald Machen and Rod Rosenstein — to lead two separate criminal investigations conducted by the FBI into recent instances of possible unauthorized leaks.
The statement says that the two U.S. Attorneys "are fully authorized to prosecute criminal violations discovered as a result of their investigations and matters related to those violations, consult with members of the Intelligence Community and follow all appropriate investigative leads within the Executive and Legislative branches of government."
In a press conference today, President Obama said that he has "zero tolerance" for leaks, adding that the suggestion that the White House would purposely release classified information "offensive."

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Prosecutors on Thursday portrayed an Arizona woman on trial on capital murder charges as a jealous liar who gave conflicting evidence about her lover's allegedly abusive behavior before his violent death.
Jodi Arias, 32, could face the death penalty if convicted of murdering Travis Alexander, whose body was found in the shower of his Phoenix area home in June 2008. He was shot in the face, stabbed 27 times and his throat slit.
During graphic testimony about her relationship with 30-year-old Alexander, Arias has said she killed him in self defense. The prosecution says she killed him in a jealous rage.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez sought to depict Arias as inconsistent, questioning her version of how her left ring finger was broken. She has told the court it happened in January 2008 while she was protecting herself when Alexander kicked her.
But Martinez played a video of Arias telling a detective after her arrest that she had received the injury when a woman broke into Alexander's house on the day of the killing in June 2008 and assaulted her.
"The injury to your finger happened in June 2008 not January 2008, didn't it?" he asked Arias, who sat tense but calm wearing a black jacket with white piping. "That's not correct," Arias replied.
Martinez also asked her if she told the detective a lie, to which she replied "Yes." He then shot back: "When do you decide to tell the truth, in this court and nowhere else?"
Arias had previously testified that Alexander attacked her in January 2008, a day after she said she had walked in on him masturbating to images of a young boy - an event she said made her physically sick.
But in a push to undermine her testimony, Martinez produced a journal entry Arias wrote from a few days after that incident, in which she noted she had not kept up with entries as there had "not been anything noteworthy to report."
Martinez said: "This is pretty noteworthy to you isn't it?" "Yes," she replied. Martinez also produced a record of several innocuous text messages exchanged by the couple on the evening she said she had walked in on him, in which they discussed trading cars and attending a church event.
"Throughout this whole text message between you and him, there is no discussion about anything that happened?" Martinez said. "No," she replied.
Arias, who will return to the witness stand on Monday, has testified that on the day Alexander died he became irate and body slammed her in the bathroom of his home after she dropped a camera while taking photographs of him in the shower.
She said she fled from the bathroom to where Alexander kept a gun and pointed it at him with both hands when he pursued her. She said the "gun went off," and she had no recollection of the stabbing.
During a day of at-times testy cross examination, Martinez asked Arias if she "had a problem with memory," to which she replied, "Sometimes." He asked her in what situations she became forgetful, to which she replied.
"Usually when men like you are screaming at me or grilling me, or someone like Travis ... it makes my brain scramble."
Martinez also sought to portray Arias as jealous of her former boyfriend, relentlessly questioning her about an incident in August 2007, two months after the couple broke up, in which Arias watched through a window at Alexander's home while he was "making out" with another woman. Arias later confronted Alexander about the incident.
"What in the world gave you the right to talk to an ex-boyfriend that you had broken up with? You were being territorial about it. Why in the world would you even care?" Martinez asked Arias in a rapid-fire cross examination about the incident.
"You could have left that situation alone, but you decided to confront him. The reason you did that was because you were jealous," he said.

President Barack Obama will make his first trip to China in November to boost relations with the Asian nation, the new U.S. ambassador to Singapore said Saturday morning.
Obama will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum from Nov. 14-15 in Singapore, according to Ambassador Jon Huntsman, an ex-Mormon missionary who was sworn in Aug. 11.
"I am hopeful, confident, that by the end of the eyar the U.S.-China relationship will be better than ever before," Huntsman said.
U.S. & World
Discussions during the trip could revolve around the U.S. deficit, since China has $801 billion in U.S. Treasury securities -- the biggest holder in the world -- or around the South China Sea, where the U.S. and China both have powerful navies.

The organizations that we choose to partner with have demonstrated a community-centered approach, excellent financial reporting and a deep knowledge of water project implementation. They are some of the best in the world at bringing clean water to people in need. These are the partners that charity: water currently funds.
Our partners are local experts and professionals with years of exceptional work and proven progress. They are our eyes, ears and calloused hands on the ground.
Coming out of the refugee camps set up during the Khmer Rouge, Viriya helped to start a safe water program helping vulnerable women and their children. This program led to the founding of a local organization called Clear Cambodia, and has expanded now to impact hundreds of thousands of people throughout Cambodia.
Teklewoini is a founding member of the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), a grassroots local organization that has been working in Tigray for more than 30 years. Today, REST is the largest operating NGO in the Tigray region where it continues to implement thousands of water projects and integrated community development programs.
Kanupriya has been working with the Jal Bhagirathi Foundation since 2004. Her early years were spent working in program implementation and management, and she's served as the foundation's executive director since 2014. Today the Jal Bhagirtahi Foundation continues to expand it's reach in the Thar Desert, bringing clean water to hundreds of thousands of people living in the most densely populated arid zone in the world.
We know that investing in local expertise is the best way to create long-term impact. Our partners have the years of experience and local knowledge to deliver the best water projects... one community at a time. While charity: water raises awareness and funds, our partners drill through bedrock, protect springs, and mobilize communities every day.
Without our partners around the world and their thousands of dedicated staff, charity: water's work would not be possible. Our Water Programs team communicates with our partners every day to track progress and troubleshoot challenges that come up. During our frequent visits to the field, our partners are visiting communities with us.
We make sure that our partners have top-notch experience and expertise. Our teams spend weeks at a time with partners in the field to make sure they have the skills and resources to deliver high quality, sustainable projects to communities in need and report back on every dollar they spend.
Our partners share our vision of solving the water crisis in our lifetime. They are dedicated to providing safe, sustainable water access to communities in need and to making sure those communities gain knowledge of the hygiene and sanitation practices that will make them healthier. We expect our partners to work closely with local communities, leaders, governments, mechanics, and suppliers to accomplish lasting change.

Self-directed IRAs offer a unique way to build retirement savings. Self-directed accounts differ from traditional retirement accounts in that they allow for alternative investments that are not traditionally offered by banks and other management firms.
Investments Allowed in a Self-Directed IRA:
- Accounts receivable financing
- Various real estate (homes, apartments, condos, commercial property, air space, billboards, offshore real estate, trust deeds, mortgage notes and more)
- Contracts of sale
- Foreign sales corporation stock
- Gold bullion, palladium, US Treasury gold and silver coins
- Limited liability companies (LLCs)
- Limited partnerships
- Private placements
- Securities, CDs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds
- Tax lien certificates
- And many more
There is actually very little that a self-directed IRA cannot invest in:
- Insurance
- S corporations
- Collectibles (such as art, antiques, wine, jewelry, etc).
Types of Accounts
There are various types of self-directed IRAs designed for various needs.
Individual Accounts
There are two types of accounts for individuals seeking to replace or supplement an employer-sponsored plan; self-directed Traditional IRAs and self-directed Roth IRAs.
These accounts differ in the way they are taxed. Traditional IRAs will be taxed upon distribution (when you take money out of your account during retirement), while Roth IRAs will be taxed upon contribution (when you put money into the account during your saving years).
Note: Individual self-directed accounts are also available to those saving for the purposes of health or education. Health savings accounts (HSAs) and educational savings accounts (ESAs) can help to relieve the burden of saving for retirement by providing a cushion for some of life's largest expenses.
Small Business Owner Accounts
There are three types of self-directed IRAs designed for use by small business owners, described below:
SEP IRA – A SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) IRA is designed for self-employed business owners, or partners/owners of corporations. This plan allows you to make contributions on behalf of yourself, as well as your employees.
SIMPLE IRA – A SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) IRA is designed for business owners with less than 100 employees. It allows for contributions to both business owner and employees to encourage retirement saving for all.
Individual(k) or Solo 401(k) – The Individual(k), also known as a Solo 401(k) is designed for sole-proprietors with no other employees (other than a potential spouse or partner), and allows for maximum contributions.
Pros and Cons of Self-Directed IRAs
- Same tax-advantages associated with other retirement accounts. Traditional accounts will appreciate on a tax-deferred basis, while Roth accounts will appreciate tax-free.
- Self-directed IRAs allow holding of alternative investments, such as gold, real estate, and private stock.
- Protects against traditional market volatility through true diversification of your retirement portfolio.
- Allows experienced investors to have more control over their retirement portfolios.
- Investing in alternative assets carries a certain amount of risk. You will need to perform due diligence on investment opportunities to avoid fraudulent prospects, Ponzi schemes, and other scams.
- Because of the large potential for tax advantages associated with self-directed IRAs, there are many rules and regulations that must be followed in order to avoid penalties on your account. A self-directed IRA administrator can help you navigate these caveats.
Saving for retirement is a consistent and important task. Explore educational resources and seek counsel from an experienced fiduciary to determine if a self-directed IRA is the best choice to help you meet your goals.

General Foley retired from the United States Army in October 2006 as a Brigadier General and will soon be pinned for his second star – Major General – by Governor David A. Patterson.
His key military assignments included serving as Executive Officer of the National Guard Regional Training Institute from 1996 to 1999. He was later assigned as Deputy Brigade Commander from 1999 to 2003. In 2003, he was selected for Brigade Command in New York City and remained there until 2005. General Foley was later assigned as the Facility Manager for a National Guard Training Base until his retirement in October 2006.
He currently serves as Chairman of the Board for the Military Association of New York. General Foley earned an Associate's degree in Business Management from SUNY Canton, a Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Public Administration degree from Marist College, and a Master of Science degree from the U.S. Army War College.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs, as well as three master's degrees in conjunction with SUNYIT, Utica. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College offers a four-day academic week allowing students greater flexibility for work, family, or other obligations. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years.

Will this move by Texas lead to a faster process of FDA approval and insurance coverage? – Boonie
My gut says: baby steps. They need to define the IRB process and make sure all the pieces of the machine work well. There are many factors which will unfold now.
Will other states fall after Texas like for medical marijuana?
Will Texas stand alone and all US stem cell companies open clinics there?
Will patients go to a clinic in Texas regulated by an IRB with zero experience over a treatment center outside the US with thousands of successes?
Can the FDA approval process be changed from clinical trial to produce drugs INTO a process oriented hybrid?
Will insurance cover it…ie will the American people, many whom think all stem cells are embryonic still so all stem cells = murder, many whom don't know about the thousands of trials and tens of thousands patients treated, want to 'foot the bill' for these Texas treatments?
Many many questions.
Rome. Built. Not one day.
Baby steps…but a step in the right direction.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - American Airlines creditors want a potential merger with US Airways Group Inc LCC.N to be an all-stock deal rather than one that pays some claims in cash, three people familiar with the matter said, in a move that underscores confidence in a merged airline.
The creditors of American Airlines parent AMR Corp AAMRQ.PK want to capture the full upside from a combination if the airline chooses to emerge from bankruptcy in a merger with its smaller rival, the people said this week.
Creditors in bankruptcy often want at least part of their claims paid in cash, rather than in the stock of a reorganized company with an uncertain trading value.
AMR creditors' preference for an all-stock deal could be seen as a vote of confidence in the proposed merger and the potential revenue and cost benefits from a deal that would create one of the world's largest airlines.
US Airways, in hot pursuit of its bigger rival all year, sounded out AMR creditors about how they wanted to be paid off before proposing a formal all-stock merger proposal at a meeting with the creditors committee in November, the people said.
The merger discussions among US Airways, AMR and its creditors are at an advanced stage, with a decision on whether to pursue a combination or emerge as an independent company expected as soon as January, they said.
The people asked not to be named because the matter is not public. Representatives for the creditors committee did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
AMR management prefers to exit bankruptcy as an independent airline, but events since US Airways made a formal merger offer last month indicate a deal looks more likely than before.
On Monday, the union representing AMR pilots voted to join the merger talks at the invitation of AMR creditors and said the first discussions involving the union are set to begin this week. US Airways' pilots union is also joining the discussions, a spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.
The Allied Pilots' Association, the union representing AMR pilots, is important to the discussions because they recently ratified a new labor contract granting them a 13.5 percent equity stake in a newly reorganized airline.
The APA, which also sits on the airline's nine-member unsecured creditors committee, has said it has lost faith in AMR management led by Chief Executive Tom Horton and strongly supports a merger with US Airways.
"As the new owners of a significant percentage of the restructured airline, it's APA's responsibility to maximize the value of our investment by conducting thorough due diligence," pilots union president Keith Wilson said in a message posted on the union's website on Wednesday.
AMR, in a separate statement sent to managers on Tuesday, said: "American ... determined that union involvement in the discussions is an important step to appropriately evaluate the impact of a merger on labor costs, integration and seniority."
US Airways declined to comment.
The talks are now narrowly focused on how to integrate labor unions, indicating the negotiations are far along, the people familiar with the matter said. Detailed valuation discussions - how much of the combined carrier each side should own - are expected to come after the parties iron out labor integration issues, they said.
Under the US Airways proposal sent in November, AMR creditors would own 70 percent and US Airways shareholders 30 percent of the merged airline, which could be valued at around $8.5 billion, sources told Reuters on Friday.
Based on US Airways' fully diluted market value of $2.5 billion and the proposed equity split of 70 to 30, its merger proposal implies a valuation of little less than $6 billion for its larger rival.
AMR creditors think they should own more than 70 percent of the combined company, the people familiar with the matter said. AMR management has told the creditors they believe the equity split should be as high as 80 percent in favor of AMR creditors, the people said.
An 80-20 equity split between AMR creditors and US Airways could suggest a $10 billion valuation for AMR, based on the $2.5 billion fully diluted market value of US Airways. It could also mean that AMR values its smaller rival at a significant discount to its trading value, which would be a tough deal to swallow for US Airways' shareholders and board.
The world's two largest airlines - Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N) and United Continental Holdings Inc UAL.N - have market values of $9 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively.
The case is In re AMR Corp et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-15463.

Demonstrators march to protest mistrial
Dozens demand State Attorney Angela Corey's resignation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dozens of "Justice for Jordan" demonstrators who were in front of the courthouse when the verdicts and mistrial were announced are marching to the state attorney's office to ask for Angela Corey's resignation.
The number of demonstrators who been outside during each day of the two-week trial swelled on Saturday -- many asking for the conviction of Michael Dunn and others supporting the defendant.
Dunn was convicted of three counts of attempted murder and one of firing into an occupied vehicle and could face 60 or more years in prison, but some of Davis' supporters weren't happy that Dunn wasn't convicted of murder.
IMAGES: Protester march, chant
This trial was the latest Florida case to raise questions about self-defense and race, coming six months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin -- a prosecution also handled by Corey.
"She failed down there in Sanford, and now she's failed here," said Carnell Oliver of Jacksonville Progressive Coalition. "Four (counts) is not good enough for me."
After the delivering their letter and speaking to the media, the crowd dispersed without incident.
Ricky Brown was one of dozens of demonstrators making noise outside the courthouse during the day Saturday. Most of them say they're there to support the family of Jordan Davis.
"I'm out here because I have grandchildren and I know if this doesn't stop somewhere, it's going to continue," Brown said.
Brown said what happened to the teen could happen to anyone, and fellow demonstrator Terrance Siplin said Davis' death serves as a reminder to walk away from situations involving conflict.
"I mind my business because I know if I say anything, I'm being aggressive towards starting a bad conversation," Siplin said. "I mind my business. I walk on."
"I just want the world to be a better place because he could be an innocent bystander that could have been caught by a stray bullet," Malik Amrullah said.
Jacksonville community reacts to long-lasting deliberations
As the nation waits for a verdict in the Michael Dunn case, there's a lot of speculation about possible outcomes. And as the hours wear on, people are passing the time, talking about Florida's self-defense laws and the clarity of the instructions jurors received.
"It definitely shows that there's some reasonable doubt in the jury's mind," Jacksonville resident Chris Lobianco said. "I definitely thought they would have a verdict by Friday and that they would be spending the weekend with their families. Obviously, they are asking the questions."
Lobianco said he doesn't know what to make of the length of deliberations, but as time wears on, he said talk of a hung jury sounds more and more like a reality.
"I think that a hung jury would not be good for us or the people of Jacksonville," Lobianco said.
"Honestly, if he's not found guilty, that just shows how bad our justice system is," 17-year-old Richard Zanford said. "This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen."
Zanford said waiting for a verdict is worrisome to teenagers, especially minorities. Others are looking at a bigger policy picture.
"I'm here waiting just like the rest of the country," Rep. Corrine Brown said.
She said the questions jurors posed to the judge reveal that the jury may not have fully understood their instructions. She said Florida's controversial self-defense laws need new clarification.
"The instructions are very complicated and they are not lawyers in that room, they are lay persons," Brown said. "The key is, if you look at the instruction, in those instructions, you'll find the 'stand your ground' law. And to me, that is the problem."
Brown said even if the jury can't make a decision Saturday, she has faith in the justice system.
"Failure is not an option," she said. "If this jury doesn't do it, there are other juries, other opportunities."

From hindsight, actor Todd Lowe could be categorized as a brooding, laidback guy with not a care in the world. As you get to know him, there's something really alluring about him. There's a sense of naiveté that clearly resonates in his demeanor and the way he carries himself. With an extensive theatre background from The University of Texas at Austin under his belt, Lowe has parlayed his craft into the world of television by landing guest starring roles on WALKER: TEXAS RANGER and WITHOUT A TRACE.
In 2002, Lowe landed a part as a recurring character and a cult following on the WB hit series GILMORE GIRLS as Zack van Gerbig. He found himself acting opposite Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham. Eventually, due to the popularity of his character of Zach, he became a series regular. With the success of the show under his belt, he was able to pursue being a musician. He even got the chance to play guitar and sing on the show as well. Now, Lowe has created quite a buzz as sympathetic yet obscure war vet Terry Bellefleur on Alan Ball's HBO hit vampire series TRUE BLOOD acting opposite Anna Paquin.
I had the pleasure of interviewing this charismatic individual who I've come to have known for a number of years. What makes Lowe really fascinating is that he is genuinely a great guy with an obscure and funny personality that is infectious. As we were setting up a meeting place for our personal interview, instead of sticking to the original plan of meeting at a local coffee shop in Hollywood, he phones at the last minute to change the meeting place to where he could have a drink. Needless to say, I felt like William Miller did when he chased the band Stillwater in the film ALMOST FAMOUS.
As we chatted over Irish coffee at a local dive bar/restaurant in Silverlake under heat lamps, we reminisced about the good times back in Austin, Texas and caught each other up on mutual friends who have migrated to Los Angeles. Needless to say, the evening was filled with laughs that range from talks about martial arts, to waxing rhetoric and (in true Texan-esque form) lighting cigarettes with space heaters only because there weren't any available lighters around.
Jerod Williams: Fans know you as Zack from THE GILMORE GIRLS. Are you being recognized even more ever since joining the show TRUE BLOOD?
Todd Lowe: Not really. There were a few people that would come up to me and say nice job on the show and Terry is funny and it's flattering to hear their comments and I take it in stride. It's not been a huge problem for me and I hope it doesn't become one. I haven't had to go into hiding yet.
JW: Tell us about your character Terry Bellefleur on TRUE BLOOD.
TL: In the Charlaine Harris books, Terry is a war veteran and when I auditioned for the part he was written as a Vietnam veteran, in the series he is updated as an Iraqi vet.
JW: How does this character compare to any other character you have played and what kind of research did you do to prepare yourself for this role?
TL: I based my character on homeless people I encountered in Austin who were war veterans, particularly, my encounter with one when I was a student at UT Austin. I thought back on one guy who said he would sell me a sonnet for a cigarette. I gave him a smoke and he said "My mistress' eyes were nothing like the sun . . ." and that was some Sting song, I think, and I gave him the rest of my pack and made it to Shakespeare class on time. When I auditioned for Terry, I had him in mind. A sympathy seeker who hustled me out of my smokes. ( laughing out loud).
What's it like working with the actors on the set?
TL: It's great and everyone on the set is very professional and I feel privileged to be among this talented group of people. They are all prettier than me and that makes me feel doubly flattered.
You don't think you're a pretty person?
TL: I try to retain water. I work at it, but not as hard as I should.
Todd and I are laughing out loud as he lights his cigarette from a space heater that is keeping us warm while drinking Irish Cream coffees.
What can the audience expect for Season 2 of TRUE BLOOD?
TL: I am contractually bound not to disclose any upcoming spoilers for Season 2. I'm dying to tell someone. I can't even tell my mom who uses my cousins to get information out of me. I can tell you this much just based on last season that Terry's coming back and appears to have a developing relationship with Arlene (played by Carrie Preston).
JW: Does your theatre background work better for you in either television or film
TL: I would have to say television. Television is a medium that I prefer and I am able to improvise. There is a rhythm and an arc and a pace that feels comfortable. There is something about doing a television table read that feels like reading a stage play. I'm thankful for having a theatre background because as an actor, you can sense the pulse of your audience whether it is with the director, the writer, the studio heads, etc. At this point in my career, I haven't done enough film to know if I am good at it. I'm more of a character actor and I put a lot of myself into playing oddballs.
People know you as an actor, but not many people know there's another side to you and that is you are a musician.
TL: I have been playing country music on the guitar since I was 23. I started playing rock music on the guitar when I was 17. When I was in college, I learned that country music was a lot easier. I like singing songs and making them funny and if I can get anybody to play with me, I say let's put on a show. I love to entertain.
What is the name of your band?
TL: Pilbilly Knights.
How did Pillbilly Knights come together?
TL: Pilbilly Knights first came together when a good friend of mine named Padrick Peper heard me play and he started inviting me to his house and to play at parties with him and his harmonica. We were encouraged by the positive response we got so we recruited a high school friend of mine, James Lane, to play drums and he sings great harmonies and then finally another friend of a friend of mine who is a television editor named Jacob Morgan plays a mean bass guitar and now he's a really good friend. I love it and I play for my friends and with my friends. If you email me and want to come sing a well known song or ANY country song, you just might get a chance to perform it at any of our shows. You can keep up with our band on our myspace page (Pilbilly Knights) and our music is on iTunes. Our record " DUI" is getting played on XM radio.
What can one usually expect when they come see a Pilbilly Knights performance?
TL: A fun place to drink with lots of whooping and hollering and a down home suburban Texas atmosphere. Our music is best described as cowpunk music, country music without the O. ( laughs). Not to mention my girlfriend, Sasha, is a dancer and she brings her hot a** friends to dance to our songs that she personally choreographs. She's wonderful.
Which do you enjoy the most, being a musician or being an actor?
TL: An actor because it pays and a musician when it does, get back to me on that one.
What is the typical day in the life of Todd Lowe entails?
TL: Wake up and hope that I don't have a headache from the night before from playing five games of chess on Yahoo! Server. I play guitar, call Sasha, call mom, crash. . .
JW: ( laughing)
TL: I'm trying to make it poetic and have a rhythm. I've never had anyone ask me what my day is like. ( laughs)
JW: You are cracking me up.
TL: I also do some kind of cardio at 4:20PM. I'm taking several different martial arts classes to firm up my hands. After years of playing the guitar, my wrists dangle so I am taking martial arts classes to firm up my hands and know how to put a knife into someone's larynx if I have to.
laughs) Are you gonna have to do that anytime soon?
TL: Sure. ( coyly).
JW: So what is next for Todd Lowe?
TL: I just finished shooting a small part in a film called SKATELAND starring a friend of ours from Austin, Heath Freeman. It's got one of the kids from the vampire film TWILIGHT ( Ashley Greene) so that makes two degrees of vampire separation. The script was pretty good and we hope that the movie does take off. I'm working on a web series with Justin Tanner called AVENUE 43 and it's basically a sexy, sordid, gentrified, East L.A. webisode about people and, of course, the band will write a few more songs – two to be exact.
JW: Todd, thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview and continued success on TRUE BLOOD and your other upcoming projects.
At the end of our interview, we decided to head inside the bar from the patio where we were joined by Todd's girlfriend, Sasha and shared Irish coffees and laughs until closing time chatting off the record. Even though he has now set up his life in Los Angeles and is firmly ensconced in the entertainment industry, he hasn't changed who he is as an individual and that is what makes him endearing. A man who has not allowed the industry to dictate who he should be and that is a hard thing to come by.

Dirty B
- bestturkeydecoy.com or dirty b this spring?
Your dirty b is the newest turkey decoy on the market. So how do you think he will go over? The dirty b is made to try and provoke the often seen reaction turkeys have when another hits the ground. They often attack each other. It's like they hate each other or something. Let me know the results you have if you take dirty b to the woods this spring.
Dirty b
Here is the Bass pro description of Dirty B
- Realistic injured turkey decoy
- Flopping action resembles wounded gobbler
- Preys on turkeys' instincts to establish dominance over injured birds
- Handle pull initiates flopping, flailing action
- Attracts turkeys to a fellow gobbler in distress
Created to prey on turkeys' natural inclination to wound an already-injured bird, the Primos Dirty B Injured Turkey Decoy entices other turkeys to come near for a closer look. A modified version of the popular Killer B that hunters already trust, the dirty b simulates the flailing, flopping action of a wounded gobbler to attract other turkeys. Pull-handle initiates action. An innovative addition to your decoy spread, the dirty b lets you play dirty to move big gobblers close enough for a good shot!
dirty b
The urban dictionary has a definition for dirty b that does not fit the dirty b as he does not have a belly button. I myself am partial to the dirty b remix from Fatso of Demon Groove. Great workout tune.
Not much info on the dirty b turkey yet as it is brand new to the market place. Back in 2004, I met up with Lance Verhulst in Hot Springs SD and we did a TV spot for North American Hunter using the back cape and tail of a real turkey as our focal decoy. As the group approached the hen decoy they made eye contact with our dirty b predecessor and proceeded to dance on top of him. Was a pretty cool deal.
I myself would be a little nervous that the dirty b may scare quite a few birds off. Maybe I
am wrong, but critters often abandon the scene when danger is close by, and the flopping of a wounded turkey certainly signifies danger to me.
I do like the fact that someone is trying to score kills using the body language of a wild turkey, and the dirty b just that. Whether or not he works consistently remains to be seen, and be ready to shoot quick as I suspect the toms may leave as gast as they come in.
I also wonder what the hens are going to think? Is the dirty b more of a toms by themselves unit, or will it bring the entire flock. I did not see any hens in the groups on the youtube clip, and will be interested in their reaction as well.
Gonna close with a couple excerpts on a turkeys body language here. They will help you this spring.
When a male turkey approaches your set with his head tilted up in the air, it's an attempt to make him look taller and bigger. It's a bluff, and the turkey may close the distance and assault your decoys, or he may turn tail and run out of fear. Watch the head colors and wing position to see if the turkey is staying to fight, or running to avoid confrontation. The slightly upward tilted head bluff is one of the poses we worked into our decoy that drives a mature bird to fight. Most (not all) mature toms will call this bluff.
The most dominant turkey in the group will sport an almost completely white head, neck and caruncles. Your jake turkey decoy should not.
While rare to see, it lets you pick out the dominant turkey, who coincidentally is not always the heaviest or biggest spurred. He the best fighter in the bunch hands down. If your toms head is red, he's probably not staying long. A spooked, frightened or submissive tom or jake will have a completely red head, and odds are they wont be at the turkey decoys long, if they even get that far.
If you want to take turkey home, take the first good shot. Most of the bow killed turkey you encounter will have red caruncles or bases, with a white cap and shades of blue or purple around the eyes, ears and beak. These turkey are neither super confident nor frightened or nervous. Read the rest of their body signals to see if they are staying or leaving. Read the language to see how long they will be in your turkey decoy set up.
Good luck if you run the dirty b, and let me know how it goes.

Kent State to Celebrate Retiring President Lefton at April 4 Reception
A reception and celebration to honor Kent State University President Lester A. Lefton will take place on Friday, April 4, from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Kent Student Center Ballroom. The event, which is hosted by the Kent State Board of Trustees, is open to all faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the community. Refreshments will be served.
Lefton, who will retire as Kent State's 11th president on July 1, has served as the university's chief executive officer since July 1, 2006. The university achieved significant accomplishments during his time as Kent State president, including record student enrollment, retention and graduation numbers; the town-gown partnership that resulted in the revitalization of downtown Kent; the university's Centennial Campaign that raised a record-breaking $265 million; and the "Foundations of Excellence: Building the Future" campus improvement program that is transforming Kent State's campuses to meet world-class standards.
"This year, and for the past seven years, President Lefton has delivered on his primary goal – ensuring in every way possible that we improve retention and develop the quality experiences and facilities that are appropriate for the aspirations of our students," Kent State Board Chair Jane Murphy Timken said at the most recent Kent State Board of Trustees meeting. "We've grown our enrollment by more than 26 percent and raised our profile as a university of choice, and it has been instrumental to our academic and financial health. We believe his tenure will be remembered as a dynamic time for Kent State."
The reception will feature a video presentation and remarks from Todd Diacon, Kent State's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost; Alfreda Brown, vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion; and Evan Gildenblatt, the university's special assistant for Federal Relations in Washington, D.C., and a former executive director for Kent State's Undergraduate Student Government. Lefton also will make remarks at the event.

A Scottish wife, an English wife, and an Irish wife were all talking about how they never had enough money to go shopping. All of a sudden, the English wife had an idea.
"I know! We can take off our underwear, and then when our husbands notice, we can say we don't have enough money even for knickers!"
Everybody thought this was a good idea, so they went home to try it. When the English wife's husband noticed, he gave her 200 pounds to go shopping with. When the Irish wife's husband noticed, he gave her his credit card. The next day, they all three met up to discuss how it went. The Irish wife and the English wife were all dressed up in their new clothes, but the Scottish wife was still in rags. The other two demanded to know what had happened.
"Well," said the Scottish wife. "As I was gardening, I bent over to show him I wasn't wearing any undies. But when he saw, he gave 40p to get a comb!"

Modern gun deer hunting is quickly approaching. This is the big event for something like 300,000 Arkansans, and a preliminary is the five-day antlerless hunt in most, but not all, of the state.
Modern gun deer hunting is quickly approaching. This is the big event for something like 300,000 Arkansans, and a preliminary is the five-day antlerless hunt in most, but not all, of the state.
This hunt is Monday through Friday, Oct. 12-16, on private land. One or two does or button bucks can be taken, depending on the zone.
OK, the hunter has a valid license, a gun and an orange vest. These are the essentials, the required basics, but much more is needed. More than Vy-ennies and cheese crackers.
Start with one or more twist ties in a pocket. Some hunters choose cable ties. These are longer and stronger. Rubber bands will work too.
What for? For putting tags on deer that are killed.
The regulations of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission require a deer to be tagged before it is moved from the spot where it is dropped. Tag it before you load it on a four-wheeler or into the back of a pickup. Don't wait, just tag it.
Tags are on the basic hunting licenses and on the Sportsman License. Take a tag off, cut a slit in the deer's ear and push the tag through then fasten its ends with the twist tie or cable tie or rubber band. The tag can be tied around a leg of the deer also.
Hunters under 16 don't have licenses with tags, and lifetime license holders don't have tags. They use the tags inside the back cover of the 2013-2014 Hunting Guidebook, available free at AGFC offices, at license dealers and many other places.
Clip out two or three of these tags, put them in a billfold or other secure place, and the your youth hunter or the lifetime hunter is ready. Someone else in the field may need one of these guidebook tags too, but annual license holders cannot use them.
Early deer hunting probably will bring out mosquitoes, and the walk to and from a stand will put the hunter up close with chiggers and ticks. Use some sort of insect repellent.
"Deer can smell bug spray." Maybe.
Mask that smell and your scent with some odor-fighting product off a store shelf, or put one or two ripe apples in your pockets. The latter is an ages-old deer hunting tactic. Other fruit may work too.
Keep your glasses and your scopes clear.
Chilly mornings can fog up glass. So can a hunter's breath from excitement when he or she gets the rifle with the scope up into shooting position. Anti-fog products are available, and one do-it-yourself trick is to rub onion on the glass at home or in camp. Its effect should last most of the day.
It is debatable among hunters as to how well a deer can see a human in the woods or on the edges of woods. A deer can smell and hear better than it can see.
Many hunters like to counter white faces that stand out noticeably. Borrow some turkey hunting and duck hunting strategies. A face mask, partial veil or a few dabs of grease paint will suffice.

If you watch much television, you've probably seen variations of this scene dozens of times: a judge bangs a gavel and announces, "Bail is set at $100,000." The defendant looks despondent as he consults with his lawyers. But somehow he ends up free while waiting for his trial to begin. One hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money to come up with -- how did he afford it? And what did it mean when the defense attorney claimed his client was not a "flight risk"?
Bail works by releasing a defendant in exchange for money that the court holds until all proceedings and trials surrounding the accused person are complete. The court hopes that the defendant will show up for his or her court dates in order to recover the bail.
In many cases, trials can begin weeks or months after an initial arrest, and if not for bail, many people, some of whom might be innocent, would have to wait in jail until their trials began. At the minimum, this can present a financial hardship, as the person would be unable to work. And, the person would also be missing his or her life -- family events, holidays, etc. Not everyone who is released on bail is eventually acquitted, so to prevent particular dangerous suspects from being released, several safeguards have been built into bail law. In this article, we'll learn about those safeguards, how the bail process works and how this system has changed since it was first started in England centuries ago.
