LAST UPDATED: May 8th, 2015
"Hi, I'm Josh Fletcher and I have target panic!" Yes that is right; I suffer from a major case of target panic. This year was the worst display of shooting I have ever done in my hunting career. I owe it to the viewers who watch Bowhunting.com's Bow Hunt or Die Series, and most importantly the animals, that every shot I make is the most accurate shot I am able to produce.
I'm no rookie at archery; I've been hunting and shooting a bow since the age of six. I remember running around the local woods with my brothers chasing small game with an old plastic recurve bow. The thing with archery is that it is a discipline, and even though I have been shooting bows my whole life I have picked up bad habits along the way.
For those of you that never had target panic, one of three things may have happened to you. One you have not shot archery long enough to experience this problem. Two, you don't know what the symptoms of target panic are. Three you are not honest with yourself and blame poor shots on anything other than yourself.
Being the type of person that I am, I'm not going to just sit back and live with the problem of target panic. I needed help. Now that I am in the off season I recently bought a barrage of different archery books. After reading numerous books and obtaining as much archery info my little brain could cram, I discovered a book that every archery hunter needs to read. Whether you suffer from an extreme case of target panic or just want to improve your shooting capabilities and range, this is a must read book.
"Idiot Proof Archery" is a must read book for anyone looking to improve thier accuracy
"Idiot Proof Archery" is written by Bernie Pellerite. Bernie Pellerite has won over 75 tournaments and titles. Not only does the author shoot competitive archery, but is also an avid bow hunter.
As I have mentioned earlier, I have been shooting bows my whole life, and after reading "Idiot Proof Archery", I analyzed my shooting form and habits and literally went, "yup I'm doing that wrong, that wrong, and that wrong.
Bernie Pellerite said it best in his book that most sports out there have coaches. Just look at golf. Virtually any golf course you go to has golf pro available to help you with your game. I grew up playing baseball, not once did I play a game without a coach. Now think about archery, when was the last time you shot your bow and had a true coach there to help you improve your game? And by true coach I don't mean your buddy bubba that shows you his way of shooting and not so much the proper way.
"Idiot Proof Archery" is like having Bernie Pellerite as your personal coach. Idiot Proof Archery is a book designed in an easy to read, get you back to the fundamentals of correct archery, and building your accuracy. What I like about Bernie Pellerite, is that he says it like it is and doesn't care about being politically correct. His goal is to make you a better archer.
"Idiot Proof Archery" is 338 page book that has lots of detailed pictures that show you exactly what Bernie is explaining. Bernie also has "key points" throughout the book. The key points re-emphasis of solid advice that is covered throughout the particular chapter. What I enjoy about Idiot Proof Archery is that every chapter is like a building block, each chapter builds off the last and as you go through and read your way through the book you get a much better understanding of how to improve your shooting game.
The Chapters Covered in Idiot Proof Archery is listed below.
Introduction: Why You Don't Shoot Like a Pro (Or Even As well As You Can)
Chapter 1: Equipment, Form, The Mental Game, And You!
Chapter 2: Your Personality… Can You Handel The Truth?
Chapter 3: The Importance Of Tuning, Shooting Form, And Draw Length.
Chapter 4: The Magic And Myths Of Bow & Arrow Setup and Tuning.
Chapter 5: How The Pros Do It… Part One- Aiming
Chapter 6: How The Pros Do It… Part Two- Holding Steady
Chapter 7: The Shot Sequence… Part One- The Defense
Chapter 8: The Shot Sequence… Part Two- The Offense
Chapter 9: Anticipation, Programming, Back Tension & Your Release
Chapter 10: "Hi, My Name is Bernie & I've Got Target Panic"
Chapter 11: 44 Form Flaws- When Things Go Wrong
Chapter 12: Shooting Inside Your Comfort Zone
Chapter 13: Perfect Practice, The Do's & Don'ts Of An Accelerated Learning Curve
Chapter 14: Tournament Nerves, Choking Under Pressure, And Shooting In Adverse Conditions
Chapter 15: 3-D & Estimating Yardage… "Legal & Illegal"
Chapter 16: Hunting With a Bow
In "Idiot Proof Archery", Bernie Pellerite explains methods recommended to produce the most consistent shooting form, because in archery you don't have to do things right, you just have to do things consistently. " Idiot Proof Archery" not only explains how to do things consistently but also gives you shooting drills to help you improve your accuracy and how to truly overcome target panic.
The issue that I have with shooting is target panic. With target panic I anticipate the release causing me to punch the trigger along with what is called a "drive by shooting" or "drive by sight picture". Basically, once my pin is on the target, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold a steady sight picture like that you have while bench shooting a rifle. The thing is that with an archery sight picture, the pin will float over your target.
My issue is that once my pin gets close, I punch the trigger to make a quick shot before my pin moves off the target. "Idiot Proof Archery" explains that this is normal and your pin is supposed to float over your target. To correct this problem I need to anticipate the follow through not the release, I also need to produce a muscle memory of a perfect back tension release, causing the release to surprise me. Idiot Proof Archery teaches me several drills to perform this task. The last month I have been shooting at a blank bale at just three yards away working on muscle memory of the perfect back tension release.
In Bernie Pellerite's book, he states that muscle memory needs to be engrained and it takes approximately 2,000 repetitions to engrain a particular grip, stance, anchor point, or release.
In archery you don't have to do things right, you just have to do things consistently
This book taught me that in the off season to forget about shooting bulls eyes and work on having the proper grip, consistent anchor point, perfect back tension release, and follow through. Once that is ingrained into my shooting habit, then and only then will I began working on close range target shooting, and slowly extending my range. If I begin to pick up a bad habit, I need to immediately work on the fundamentals before going back to the target again.
Idiot Proof Archery gives you the knowledge every archer needs to build his own shooting regimen by using the tools presented in Bernie's book.
There is one thing in this book that I dislike. The one and really the only thing, is in the beginning of the book, Bernie states that the archery industry keeps pushing more gear to make you shoot better and you need better equipment to shoot better and that he is sick of this. He states to become a better archer you need to work on your fundamentals. I agree one hundred percent with this, that's not the problem, the issue I have is that throughout the book Bernie mentions about his new release aids and bow shooting aids, basically doing the same thing he is blaming the archery industry for. This seems a little bit hypocritical to me, however the rest of the 99% of this book is great material that will help anybody to improve their accuracy and overcome target panic.
So if you're already a great archery shooter or one that suffers from extreme target panic like I do, this is definitely a book that needs to be added to your archery arsenal, so much so I keep mine with my archery tools and is just as important as a bow press to any archer.
On a scale of 1 to 10, "Idiot Proof Archery" by Bernie Pellerite gets a Solid 9. The only reason this book did not receive a 10 out of 10 is due to the sales pitches about his products when he knocks others in the industry for doing the same thing. But if you can get past or ignore that little portion this is one of the best books I have ever read and will definitely be referring to it and the advice Bernie Pellerite recommends to help improve my archery abilities this year.

Jim Sinisi's wife said the world is "a dimmer place" now that her husband is not in it.
"He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of person," said Susan Sinisi of her husband, a musician in the band Wordy Bums.
Only two weeks shy of his 38th birthday, Jim was driving in Howard Beach on Saturday, November 30, just before 1 a.m., when James Celauro, 23, of Ozone Park, crashed into him on 159th Avenue and 98th Street.
Celauro, who cops say had been drinking, is charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWAI, or driving while ability impaired, police said.
Susan had gone to sleep for the night in their Glendale home and was awakened at 3:05 a.m. by a phone call from a nurse at Jamaica Hospital.
"They told me Jimmy had been in a fairly significant car crash," she said. "It was like my temperature dropped, my insides turned toxic and I couldn't stop shaking."
Susan and her mother-in-law went to the hospital, holding hands all the way.
"And I'm praying. I don't go to church too much, but I'm praying to God that Jimmy is just physically broken," she said. "I would wait on him hand and foot and take care of him until he was mended. I felt like so much of who is he is, is his intellect and his soul and how he writes."

Jim was with friends in Lindenwood before the crash, his wife said.
"He was the essence of Queens," said Rjae Izm, Wordy Bums drummer.
Susan said her husband, a native of Woodhaven, was a "crazy, poetic, fiery, beautiful artist."
"He was just never, ever dull," she said. "Always fun to be with, super creative and super into creating. He was brilliant."
Now, Wordy Bums, for which Susan sings back-up, wants to take on the projects that their fallen bandmate left unfinished.
"Jim was the nucleus, the catalyst, the engine. The Wordy Bums can never be the same without such an integral part of this machine," the band said in a Facebook post. "We are truly blessed to have shared the stage with him and witness true talent."

Job fair to help, hire military vets looking for work
50+ exhibitors to be at M&T Bank Stadium Thursday
Military veterans looking for a job should head to M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday as dozens of companies from all over the region will be there with open spots to fill, and it's also where veterans can get resume help and interview training.
Recruit Military is a veteran-owned organization hosting job fairs all over the country. More than 50 organizations will be at M&T Bank Stadium for the job fair Thursday, including representatives from Hallaton, an environmental contractor located in Sparks.
Link: Sign up for Baltimore job fair
"There's definitely a need for manpower," said Hallaton President Todd Harman, who said the company puts liners in lagoons and landfills all over the Mid-Atlantic. He said veterans are perfect candidates for the job.
"I think we've had the Marines and some Army personnel come, and they work out great. They're used to traveling and maybe being in a hotel for a little bit. They can work hard, and it's just a good fit from the discipline side, as well," he said.
Hallaton is looking to hire 10-15 employees for varying positions.
"Starting from laborers -- basically grunt work, moving materials around -- up through technicians and foremen. Depending on how long they stay and get promoted, they can be a supervisor in a relatively short time," Harman said.
No experience is necessary.
"They just need the ability to work hard. If you come out and you want to work, we'll teach you," Harman said.
The job fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday at M&T Bank Stadium. Hires will be made on the spot, but there will also be several workshops to help job-seekers.

Last time I blogged, or maybe the time before, I talked about being without a publishing contract. That's at least a month, maybe two months ago. I'm still without another publishing contract. I'm not really worried about it, per se, but it's a strange feeling. I'm writing, but it's writing on spec, without any guarantee that anyone, including my agent, will like what I'm doing, and I thought I was past that point...
However, some fun stuff has been happening, and since I'm not feeling particularly pithy today, I figured I'd just natter on about what's been happening in my life lately.
Last weekend, I attended the Southern Kentucky Book Fest, which was fun. I got to hang out with people like Janis Ian and Kevin Clash AKA Elmo the furry red monster. Pictures here. I'm in the background on a few of these, but since I tend to avoid cameras, you won't really see me.
Here's a picture I knew was taken, of me and my agent-sib Molly Harper. Molly lives in Paducah, and wrote Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, which is a snarky and funny novel about a librarian-turned-vampire after a drunk-hunting accident. I don't generally enjoy vampire fiction, but I'm having a good time with this one. Here's the link.
Anyway, Perseverance Books picked up the series, and Poetic Death #4 came out in April. It's called Docketful of Poesy, and of course I was on it like white on rice. I enjoyed every minute of reading it; my only gripe is that some things were tied up so neatly at the end that now I'm worried that there won't be a Poetic Death #5...
And before I sign off, a little bit of good news. We can all use some of that, right? Well, while Berkley may not be beating down my door with offers for more DIY-books—but they will be; soon!—another publishing company has shown interest in the first book I wrote, A Cutthroat Business. This is the one in which the new-minted Realtor stumbles over the body of her nemesis and competitor in an empty house. There's a Harley in this book, as well, although the guy riding it isn't a librarian. Far from it.
Things have gone far enough that we have an actual contract in hand, so we're negotiating. If all goes well, A Cutthroat Business will hit stores sometime in 2010; the negotiations haven't gone far enough yet that I know exactly when. But keep your fingers crossed for me, and I'll keep you updated!
That's about it, I guess. Anyone else have any good news to share?

No breaking news here, but pregnancy looks damn good on Kim Kardashian.
Hitting the Atlanta premiere of Tyler Perry's Temptation, the preggers star opened up about how her health, keeping her relationship hot and playing the comic relief in the dramatic film during our exclusive livestream from the red carpet.
And speaking of tempations, Kim spoke about her pregnancy cravings. Or rather, her anti-cravings.
U.S. & World

Seems that Kim is actually craving less than before she was pregnant. Forget the candy and chocolate, Kim says doesn't care about sweets anymore. Just give her raw carrots and ranch dressing and she's in heaven.
Of course she still craves her man. And despite their busy schedules--Kanye is finishing his new album, she's filming for E!--both of them make time for each other.
Kim also reveals that pregnancy definitely has its challenges.
"Being pregnant is not as easy as my sister made it look or as my mom has made it look," Kim said. "I like to be active...but I've been chilling out. I took a week off, just to rest and it was amazing."
Check out the video above to hear more about about how Kim is keeping things chill and embracing her inner Michelle Obama (or at least the first lady's trend-setting bangs) and lots more.

Due to a scheduling conflict, we have moved the Celebrate Gloucester Benefit Concert featuring John Sebastian to Saturday, September 13 at the UU Meetinghouse. Get tickets here.
This is one more example of how things often work out despite my frustration when I found out about the conflict. The UU Meetinghouse a fitting venue given that this concert helps raise money for its restoration and the acoustics are excellent. But with no air conditioning, it wouldn't have worked for an August concert. However, it's perfect for September when the average high is 72 and low is 55 (it might be a little chilly at 8pm on the water that time of year) and the cushioned pews are quite comfortable.
This concert is a perfect opportunity to experience the music that helped define a generation up close and personal. Here's a video of John Sebastian at Woodstock (45 years ago this August):

A Fun Roundtablestevejb68 on November 6, 2013 in Leadership, Training
Tuesday night was the Scenic District roundtable at the Scout Service Center. Al and I make up the staff for the Boy Scout roundtable. We have been trying to make them fun and informative. I think we succeeded last night.
The evening began with a combined Cub Scout and Boy Scout meeting to recognize three Scouters who have completed their Wood Badge tickets. I recorded the Beading Ceremony and plan to post the video to the Melrose Scout Productions Podcast later this week or this weekend. After the presentation of the neckerchiefs, the woggles, and the beads the room divider was pulled and both roundtables began.
Al began the Boy Scout roundtable with leading the twenty Scouters in singing America The Beautiful. I led the group in reciting the Knight's Code, which used to be found in the Boy Scout handbook. Al and I have been choosing different openings and closing for each month's meeting to give troop leaders ideas to bring back to their youth leadership.
During the first skill session, Al led a discussion about scoutmaster conferences. The group talked about when they are needed, where they could be held, and who should be present. We also discussed how conferences differ from rank to rank as a Scout grows older and more experienced.
At the half way point of this year's meetings Al and I have been planning a fun activity. During the last two months we went outside to play a game. This month I lead the Scouters in one of my favorite campfire songs, Vista. I asked the three Wood badgers to come forward to join me in leading the song. I was surprised when I saw three other Scouters take out their cell phones to record this sing-a-long. One video was already posted to Facebook later that evening.
Board of reviews was the subject of the second skill session. I had talked to Al and two other Scouters before the meeting about conducting a mock review. A Boy Scout who happened to be in attendance agreed to be the Scout for the demonstration for Life Rank.
Al, Dan, Mike and I drilled the Boy Scout. I questioned his knowledge of the Scout Oath, Slogan, and Outdoor code and why he was not in complete uniform. Al drilled him about his participation in service projects. Dan criticized his work as the troop's webmaster. His scoutmaster chewed him out about his participation at troop meetings. This poor Scout was getting it from all directions.
As you have probably guessed, our mock board of review demonstrated how NOT to conduct one. The four of us tried to do as many things incorrectly as we were able to do. I never told the Boy Scout what we had planned because I wanted the Scouters to see his unplanned reactions to our questions and comments. He was a good sport about it when I stopped the drilling, and everyone thought he did quite well despite how we treated him.
This horrible board of review led into a great discussion of what not to do, and on how to conduct a proper review. We also discussed when a review is needed, where one should be held, and who should sit on a board.
The meeting ended with a scoutmaster minute from Al about friendship and myself leading the "Be Prepared" song. All in all, I think the meeting went very well and everyone learned something new.

"They were seat-of-the-pants chemists," says Cecil Dybowski, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Delaware. "But they didn't understand the chemistry itself, and they didn't foresee what would happen to those pigments in the future as the paintings got older."
What generally happened is that internal chemical reactions gradually occurred in the dried paints, causing them to change in various ways and eventually damaging their works of art, no matter how carefully those paintings had been cared for over the years.This video is not supported by your browser at this time.Credit: Andrea BoyleNow, supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, Dybowski and colleagues at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art will create models of centuries-old paints and use special spectroscopic techniques to analyze the reactions that occur within them. Researchers at the Metropolitan came up with the idea for the project and contacted Dybowski because of his laboratory's international reputation in spectrometry and his own research focus on lead.
Specifically, Dybowski and other UD scientists use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry, a powerful technique for analyzing a variety of materials ranging from natural substances to synthetic molecules to biological systems. NMR analysis provides detailed information about a material's structure, composition and dynamics.
Last year, a team of researchers in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, including Dybowski, received a $2.2 million grant to acquire a highly specialized NMR spectrometer that will be used by scientists throughout the University and the region.
"This project builds on the expertise that we have here and that the Met has there, so it's very collaborative," Dybowski says. "I wouldn't be able to attack this problem on my own, and I don't think the Met could either. The NSF likes collaborative projects like this, which looks at art as science and science as art."
The chemical makeup of paints and pigments has been studied extensively over the years in art conservation work, but this project seeks to duplicate the chemistry of the old paints and then analyze those chemical reactions with the most modern technology. NMR can't yet easily study the surface of a painting, and the analysis requires a relatively large sample, which is why the researchers will be creating their own paints to use as models.
"We can't remove large samples of paint from works of art without damaging the paintings, so we'll use these models to study the internal chemistry," Dybowski says. The team's plans call for a shared postdoctoral researcher to prepare materials at the Met—using the known chemical makeup of old paints and then subjecting them to an accelerated aging process—and then bring them to UD for NMR analysis.
The three-year project will begin in September. The Metropolitan's researchers are Silvia Centeno, a physical chemist who specializes in a type of analysis known as Raman spectroscopy, and Nicholas Zumbulyadis, a retired NMR spectroscopist from the Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories who is also a consulting expert on the chemistry of paints and glazes.
"I never set out to study artworks," Dybowski says. "I was interested in the fundamental spectroscopic properties of lead, and I've been studying that for about 10 years. Then, out of the blue, I got the call from the Met. I think it shows the amazing diversity of chemistry and how knowledge that might seem theoretical suddenly becomes extremely pertinent to problems one might not have envisioned."

Parks become a haven for devils
SOME of Tasmania's best known national parks are to be isolated as devil havens in an escalation of the battle to save the marsupial from extinction by a facial cancer.
The controversial first release of 14 healthy devils on Maria Island National Park on Wednesday will be followed by projects to cut-off the disease from other entire landscapes.
The Freycinet National Park is to be fenced off, cleared of its few devils and restocked with healthy animals, the director of Save the Tasmanian Devil program, Howel Williams, said.
Further south, the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas are candidates for similar projects to preserve wild populations of the animal whose numbers are crashing under the impact of a facial tumour disease, he said.
Up to 90 per cent of devils have disappeared from annual spotlight surveys in Tasmania as a result of the cancer, which is spread through biting.
In the latest survey, the program's biologist, Sam Fox, said the disease was more prevalent than ever in the last stronghold of wild healthy devils, in the north-west of the island.
''It's probably only a matter of time until it reaches the north-west coast,'' Ms Fox said. ''All options, whether isolating on islands or peninsulas, are going to be important.''
About 500 devils are now held in captive insurance populations around Australia, but Mr Williams said large landscapes such as the 9000-hectare Maria Island offered the best chance of maintaining the wild behaviour essential to the species' survival.
''Translocation is one of the methods of last resort and it has to be done carefully with good scientific oversight,'' the Federal Minister for Environment, Tony Burke, said.
The Maria Island release came despite opposition from the Tasmanian Conservation Trust and BirdLife Tasmania, concerned about the predators' effect on wildlife.
Mr Williams said the island's cape barren geese, fairy penguins and shearwaters were potentially at risk from an eventual population of up to 120 devils, but they would be monitored and could be removed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Jacksonville Jaguars leading receiver Cecil Shorts III has passed his post-concussion test, but has not been cleared to practice or play.
Coach Mike Mularkey says Shorts is still dealing with concussion symptoms. He sat out practice Wednesday, making it unclear whether he will play Sunday against the New York Jets.
Shorts leads the Jaguars (2-10) with 43 receptions for 824 yards and seven touchdowns. If he can't play, rookie Kevin Elliott likely would start against the Jets.
Running back Rashad Jennings and defensive end George Selvie, meanwhile, have not passed their post-concussion tests.
The Jaguars also were without cornerback Aaron Ross (calf), running back Maurice Jones-Drew (foot), fullback Greg Jones (thigh), defensive end Austen Lane (foot) and guard Mike Brewster (hand) in practice Wednesday.

Using more efficient lights like LEDs will not necessarily lessen human impact on the environment, according to a perspective published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics. Though artificial light sources are increasingly efficient, scientists point out that people may even the keel on energy costs by using light sources more and more. To get the efficiency to translate to energy savings, energy providers may have to raise their prices.
The perspective paper focuses on human use of artificial lighting, an energy expenditure that accounts for 0.72 percent of the world's gross domestic product. Artificial lighting has become more and more efficient, from oily lamps to incandescent bulbs to fluorescent bulbs, and LEDs are poised as the next efficiency jump.
While a more-efficient fixture on its own consumes less energy than its predecessor—an LED as bright as a 60-watt incandescent bulb consumes only 7 watts of power—but that doesn't mean its owner will carry the energy savings, the authors point out. As lighting becomes more efficient and less expensive, they say, people will likely elect to use more and more of it.
Based on past usage, the authors also project that our energy and light usage has not yet reached a saturation point. Between more efficiency and a greater desire to use light for productivity purposes, our energy usage stands to increase, rather than decrease, even as our lights become more efficient.
In order to get people to save energy, the authors suggest that the best way may be to force the savings at the source by increasing the cost of power. They hope that this would hold energy consumption constant, at least, while preserving some of the productivity that could be gained by using more light.

Matthew West
When Matthew West didn't get the baseball scholarship he had his eye on, he put down the bat, picked up a guitar, and decided to pursue a major in music Millikin University. By graduation, he had a multi-campus following, including some prayerful supporters who surprised him by covering a sizable price tag to send him to the Gospel Music Association's "Seminar in the Rockies." There, he attracted the attention of a Nashville mover and shaker, who set him on the course of his chosen path. Although convinced this was what he was meant to do, West still suffered some trials, like writing his first hits for other artists (Rachael Lampa, Sara Groves, Salvador, etc.) and putting his hand through a window, which almost curbed the guitar playing permanently. The happy ending came with the debut of the appropriately titled Happy. Label execs had tried to narrow his focus for the album's sake, but West insisted that mixing it up was his style, so he laid it all down in wax  acoustic, guitar pop and alt rock akin to Matchbox Twenty (check out the single "More" and title track). For all West's subtle eclecticism, those two tracks left the impression they were most 'him' and pretty much indi... See More

Hillsong Worship
Year: 2018
Runtime: 1 hr 12 minIn Genesis 32 we read the story of Jacob wrestling with God through the night. On the other side of Jacob's divine encounter was a new name, a new blessing, a new identity and a new way of walking (literally). Will we be a worshipping people who are not content to sleep through the night (spiritually speaking) and wake in the morning unchanged? Like Jacob, will we enter into the wrestle with God, dare to know Him more intimately and be changed in the process? This is the premise for Hillsong Worship's 26th live praise and worship album. The title, "THERE IS MORE", truly is a statement-of-belief more than a record title. As Brooke Ligertwood writes, "THERE IS MORE at stake than we dare realize - souls, communities, families, nations on the other side of our wrestle through the night seasons. Our personal freedom is for corporate revival. THERE IS MORE of God and more to God and His love than we can possibly conceive of." With songs such as, "Who You Say I Am", "Be Still", "The Passion" and "New Wine", "THERE IS MORE" strikes the balance of contemplative devotion and powerful declarations of praise for both individuals and congregations alike.

An escaped circus giraffe rampaged through the streets of an Italian town before being stopped on Friday.
The animal eluded its captors and damaged property for fours hours in the town of Imola, southeast of Bologna, before being cornered, the state-run Italian news agency ANSA reported.
Photos and video captured by witnesses show local police chasing the 2,000-pound giraffe as it galloped through the streets. The Rinaldo Orfei Circus, which had been caring for the giraffe, also pursued the escaped animal in a van.
Police finally managed to stop the giraffe in a grocery store parking lot, ANSA reported. Tranquilizers were used to subdue the animal, which was returned to the Rinaldo Orfei Circus.
It later died from cardiac arrest at the circus.

Wool's Orphanage is a Muggle orphanage in London. Most noticeably, it was the home of Tom Riddle during his childhood years.
The orphanage was built and operational sometime before 31 December, 1926, when the pregnant witch Merope Riddle came to the orphanage, shortly after her husband Tom Riddle Sr. abandoned her. Shortly after giving birth to her son and naming him after his father, she died there. The orphanage took care of the newborn, without knowing his magical heritage, though unpleasant incidents occurred around him without any solid evidence to condemn the young Tom. in 1937, Albus Dumbledore came to the facility to bring Tom to Hogwarts. Throughout his seven years of education, Tom deeply wished to avoid returning to Wool's Orphanage for the summers, as he even made a special request to the then-headmaster Armando Dippet to remain in school during the holidays. In his sixth year's summer vacation, Tom departed from the facility to head towards Little Hangleton to confront his muggle father before returning, hiding all of his criminal activities by framing his maternal uncle.
Sometime before 1997, the orphanage had been demolished to make way for an office block.[1] During their search for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley investigated the possibility that he had hidden one of them in the orphanage, even though Harry highly doubted that they would find one there, since Voldemort's Muggle heritage would be something that he would not want to remember. When they went to the site, the orphanage had been replaced by offices, causing the trio to leave to find the Horcruxes elsewhere.
During the 1930s, the orphanage was a square building surrounded by high railings. It was run-down, but clean, and the orphans in residence were well cared for. They even enjoyed holidays at the seaside on occasion. Despite this, it seems the orphanage had some unpleasantness, as Tom despised returning to it, and Harry Potter later noted it seemed "a grim place in which to grow up"[2]. The orphanage was run by Mrs Cole.
Known residents of the orphanage
- Amy Benson
- Dennis Bishop
- Tom Riddle (room 27) [3]
- Billy Stubbs
- Eric Whalley
Behind the scenes
- In the Harry Potter books, no actual name is given to the orphanage. The orphanage is first named in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- It is interesting to note that the design of the walls in the orphanage as shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is similar to that of the Department of Mysteries.

History of photography seminars, organised by Julian Stallabrass and Pei-Kuei Tsai, explores the history of the modern invention up to the present day by inviting academics, photographers, and curators to give a lecture at the Research Forum on Wednesday evenings a few times per term. The first of the seminars this term was given by Dr. Sarah James, UCL. She was welcomed back to the Courtauld, where she read her PhD with Professor Stallabrass in the middle part of the 2000s.
The topic of the evening was the exhibition What is Man? (1964) at the Academie der Kunst in Berlin, curated by Karl Pawek. Seen by 25 million people, it was an important photography exhibition in the relatively early days of temporary photography exhibitions in fine art context. James gave a richly detailed presentation on the subject, situating German visual culture within the historical contexts of the Cold War.
This context was woven largely through the Americanisation of post-war German culture, and within this framework, James took a comparative approach to analysing the exhibition, using the American exhibition, Edward Steichen-curated Family of Man (1955), as a basis. James offered a view of German visual culture largely influenced by their fascination for American media, with What is Man? as a response to American photojournalism found in outlets like the Life Magazine. The success of both exhibitions among the public, and their display of humanity through photomontages helps to draw an immediate parallel between the two.
The comparison across cultures and time works because of Pawek's documented interest in Steichen's work. On one hand, there are many similarities between the two exhibitions, such as the usage of metaphotography, conservative humanistic perspectives, international reach, corporate sponsorship, and popular appeal. However, differences emerge upon closer examination. One of the notable was that Pawek's exhibition was not being explicitly religious in nature, whereas Steichen's included quotes from the bible. Steichen also left out information about the photos, as they were meant to be read as simple documentary representations, and while Pawek did not include these details within the exhibition either, he did include the information in the catalogue.
On a fundamental level, James argued, Pawek presented a consistently more heterogenious view of the world than Steichen. In Pawek's exhibition, the arrangement of photos alternated and shifted between single portraits and photos of masses, rather than focusing wholly on thematic display as Steichen did. Pawek also chose not to exclude references to racial unrest, something largely avoided by Steichen. Some of the most effective examples were from the power of the images themselves, such as Pawek's photos of war and its aftermath, such as the images of people who survived Hiroshima. Another was the exhibition's display of bourgeoisie engaged in ritualistic situations. By turning the lens toward the exhibition's likely viewers, Pawek brought more depth to the critical aspect of the exhibition.
To attributing the differences to a specific German experience, James offers an interwar German photomontage as another point of comparison, focusing on the changes in the German perspective in photography. James used Ernst Junger's collection of press photography, The Transformed World, published in 1933. Although it reached the public in a different format, it offers an interesting point of contrast to Pawek's work, particularly in the splicing of violence with the images of everyday, creating a "stereoscoping vision" that bringing depth to the depiction of reality. To what extent his view can be representative of German visual culture in the 1930s, especially with Junger's complex and somewhat ambiguous relationship to National Socialism, is open for discussion, but the comparison may still be useful as Pawek and Junger does share a thematic interest. In using both Junger's and Steichen's works, James presented a well-constructed argument that sees Pawek's work as reflecting an intriguing confluence of both visions, and offers us a German image of man transformed by the World War II, the country's defeat, and the aftermath.

By the time the Board of the Chestnut Hill Community Association got to the proposal to start a community-wide Web portal last night, less than half an hour remained on the clock before the Chestnut Hill Library was supposed to close and the meeting to end.
It was not enough time to sort through a number of issues for many board members who finally voted to table the motion before the lights of the Chestnut Hill Library were flipped off and the meeting concluded.
The portal plan was first proposed by Board Member Rob Remus, who crafted it with the consultation of Hill resident Gerald Tracy, business development manager of Calkins Media, which owns and operates phillypburbs.com, the web portal of The Bucks County Courier Times and the Montgomery County Intelligencer. The proposal was later developed through a summer-long series of committee meetings.
The idea behind the plan is to augment the Chestnut Hill Local's online content with interactive features and to bring in "stakeholder" organizations. It's been called a "one-stop online shop" for Chestnut Hill. The portal proposal calls for dramatically increased page views over the current website of the Local and sets goals of $20,000 to $25,000 advertising revenues. By comparison, in November, the Local made $2,000 in online advertising. The Local is owned by the CHCA.
Under the proposal, an independent web portal would be established, housed in the offices of the Chestnut Hill Local. That portal would be supported by funds from the CHCA, the Chestnut Hill Business Association and Business Improvement District as well as the editorial and advertising resources of the Local.
"This is an investment in the future," Remus said.
Members of the board remained divided over both the ability of the CHCA to finance the portal — the plan calls for $5,000 a month from the CHCA in addition to at least another $7,000 a month in additional funding — and many were confused over how the portal would be governed. The portal proposal called for an independent portal operator to report to a four person committee within the CHCA .
Board member, Art Howe, a long-time newspaper executive and current chairman of Verve Wireless — a mobile advertising firm he helped found — said after careful study that he was impressed by the portal plan and felt it was timely. Yet, he wasn't similarly impressed by the proposed administration of the portal.
"I think this is a superb idea," How said, "But the structure leaves me puzzled."
Associate Publisher Larry Hochberger distributed a four-page information sheet questioning the portal's viability and argued that the portal would act as competition to the Local's own online efforts. Hochberger estimated that the Local could deliver the same features as the portal, but for $2,000 a month in expenditures — a roughly $10,000 a month difference from Remus' estimates of initial portal expenses.
Asked to speak about the capabilities of the organization to pay for the portal, CHCA treasurer David Mansfield said he had identified approximately $70,000 in unspent line-item funding. Based on the financial reports for the CHCA and Local, the funding for the portal would clearly be available within the Local, which has, as of December, a $104,000 in net revenue.
"It could pay for the first year of operations for the portal," Mansfield said.
The portal proposal will come again before the board at its February meeting.

I recently traded my HD600's for these cans *gasp* and although I was completely shocked by how excellent they sounded, I could not keep them as the comfort was just too poor. I found the ear pad materials completely sub-par, most notably in that they aren't breathable! That coupled with the tight clamp and shallow pads made these very troublesome for me. Keep in mind that I have tall ears that protrude significantly, a tall head, and a steep jawline though... For reference, I can barely get by wearing the Momentum M1, usually it's for short periods of time. For these I'd have to physically try to stretch out the elastic and pull my head right up against the steel outer rim to get them to stay anywhere near the bottom of my ears, and even then you could always feel the force upwards as it's very uneven across the ears.
I welcome others with smaller ears and heads however to pick these up because you'll undoubtedly enjoy them. The sound quality is remarkable for a closed can, I'll second Tyll's opinion on that!

The 28th-seeded Hyden/Bourne, who had failed to qualify through Tuesday's qualification tournament but advanced to the Main Draw by winning a lucky losers draw following the withdrawal of Brazilian tandem Ricardo Santos/Alvaro Filho, rallied past Brazil's fifth seeds Vitor Felipe/Evandro Oliveira 2-1 (22-24, 21-12, 15-7) before taking a 2-0 (21-17, 21-18) victory over Poland's 12th seeds Grzegorz Fijalek/Mariusz Prudel.
"It feels great! I feel blessed for the opportunity to play again," said Bourne. "Yeah, we are lucky losers, we are really lucky, you know," Hyden said. "It's nice and we were not expected to do much, so we just come out and hopefully jump on teams and they don't know us very well."
With two wins in hands, Hyden/Bourne have already booked a berth in the 24-team knock-out stage with one last pool match to play on Thursday.
"We play steady right now," said Hyden, who finished 25th with Bourne at the season-opening Fuzhou Open last week. "First we wanna get out of the pool and then do the best we can."
The Netherlands' 22nd seeds Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst produced the other major upset on Wednesday as they claimed a surprising 2-0 (21-18, 21-15) victory over Brazil's sixth seeds Alison Cerutti/Bruno Oscar Schmidt in a second round pool F play.
Newly-crowned Fuzhou Open champions Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo of Italy also posted a pair of wins to lead the standings in Pool G. The Italian seventh seeds beat Norway's Iver Andreas Horrem/Geir Eithun 2-1 (21-18, 14-21, 15-11) before downing Austria's Robin Seidl/Alexander Huber 2-0 (21-11, 21-19).
"We are playing very well, so this is very important for us. We want to continue like this," said Lupo. Having won their first World Tour title in the Fuzhou Open, the Italians hoped to win more this season. "We are going up. Last season we were third overall in the World Tour and now we have won the gold medal," said Nicola. "We wanna win all the tournaments. I know it's not possible, but our focus is this one."
Other top seeds winning two matches to lead respective groups are Philip Dalhausser/Sean Rosenthal of the United States, Pablo Herrera Allepuz/Adrian Gavira Collado from Spain, Latvia's Aleksandrs Samoilovs/Janis Smedins, Brazil's Pedro Solberg Salgado/Emanuel Rego and Shanghai Grand Slam title holders Jacob Gibb/Casey Patterson of the United States.
Thirty-two teams are playing a single round robin in eight groups with top three finishers from each group to advance to the 24-team knockout stage.
The 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar features a record purse of US$10.2 million with a season that extends from late April to mid-December competing at 21 venues in 18 countries. This year's FIVB World Tour includes a record 10 FIVB Grand Slam events, the inaugural Grand Slam Finale and 11 FIVB Open Tournaments throughout the world, helping expand the door for development of the sport even further.
The 10 FIVB Grand Slam competitions, all double-gender, have eight with $800,000 in total purses while both The Hague, Netherlands and the Long Beach, Calif., USA event will have $1 million each in prize money, the most in FIVB Grand Slam history.

The Hague Transavia Grand Slam | 15 - 20 juillet 2014
The Hague, The Netherlands, July 17, 2014 - Despite losing their final pool play match here Thursday in the US$1-million Transavia Grand Slam presented by Bas Van de Goor Foundation, Latvians Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins have completely erased their "lost weekend†in the previous FIVB World Tour event in Switzerland.
Samoilovs and Smedins, the 2013 FIVB World Tour champions, placed 25th last week in the Swiss Alps village of Gstaad after losing three-straight pool play matches. It was the lowest placement by the Latvian partnership in 20 FIVB World Tour events together with the previous worst finish being a 17th at the 2013 season opener in Fuzhou, China.
"It was just an awful week for us,†said the 29-year old Samoilovs. "The weather was the main factor as we could not play in the cold and damp conditions. Beautiful site and well-organized tournament in Gstaad, but we could not gain any inspiration to play. Days before the event, we had great conditions in Riga to train. Once in the Alps, we just played terrible.â€
After opening with Pool D wins over teams from Czech Republic and Austria, the fourth-seeded Samoilovs and Smedins won the first set 21-14 and held a 20-18 second set lead over 13th-seeded Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson of the United States. However, the American fortunes turned around with Gibb's blocking to win the final two sets 22-20 and 15-12 to create a three-way tie in the group.
Samoilovs and Smedins won the tie-breaker due to their point ratio with 20th-seeded Clemens Doppler and Alexander Horst of Austria second and Gibb and Patterson third. In one of Wednesday's opening matches, Doppler and Horst defeated the Americans 2-1 (15-21, 21-14 and 15-12) while the Samoilovs and Smedins opened play Thursday with a 2-0 (21-18 and 21-16) over the Austrians.
Although finishing third in the pool, Gibb was excited about winning their final two matches in the group starting with a hard-fought 2-1 (18-21, 21-17 and 15-8) win in 51 minutes over 29th-seeded Jan Dumek and Robert Kufa of the Czech Republic. "We have not been playing well the last four FIVB tournaments,†said the 38-year old Gibb, a two-time American Olympian. "We are just grinding it out right now. We must brush off our setbacks and try to stay positive. Winning two matches like we did today is a real benefit for our confidence. It was a tough pool this week.â€
While Gibb and Patterson will be competing in an opening elimination round match Friday on the Scheveningen beach courts, two other American tandems will be awaiting the first-round winners after receiving a "bye†due to topping their pools this week. Both teams have combined to win the last three FIVB World Tour events in Germany, Norway and Switzerland after failing to advance a tandem to the finals in the first five events this season on the international circuit.
Tri Bourne and John Hyden, who started the string of United States successes by topping the podium in Berlin, captured Pool B Thursday with wins over teams from Italy. Phil Dalhausser, the Beijing 2008 Olympic gold medalists and 2007 world champion with Todd Rogers, and Sean Rosenthal topped Pool A with victories Thursday over pairs from Canada and Germany in competition held in Apeldoorn
Dalhausser and Rosenthal, who claimed the gold medals in Stavanger and Gstaad, have now won 17-straight matches this season with their last setback being in an opening elimination match in Berlin where Dutchmen and reigning FIVB world champions Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen rallied to defeated the Americans in three sets.
Other pool winners Thursday earning "byes†for the opening elimination rounds Friday were third-seeded Alison Cerutti/Bruno Oscar Schmidt of Brazil, fifth-seeded Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira of Spain and sixth-seeded Mariusz Prudel/Grzegorz Fijalek of Poland, seventh-seeded Jonathan Erdmann/Kay Matysik of Germany and eighth-seeded Emanuel Rego/Pedro Salgado of Brazil.
In the final two matches Thursday at Scheveningen, host country pairs were vying for the final two "byes†as ninth-seeded Jon Stiekema/Christiaan Varenhorst and 10th-seeded Alexander Brouwer/Robert Meeuwsen were playing pairs from Brazil and Germany, respectively, for the leadership in their pools. The reigning FIVB world champions, Brouwer and Meeuwsen dropped a 2-0 (21-14, 21-15) match to Erdmann and Matysik with Stiekema and Varenhorst defeated 2-0 (21-15 and 21-17) by Emanuel and Salgado.
With the Transavia Grand Slam being the ninth men's event on the 2014 FIVB World Tour, 24 of the men's pool play matches were scheduled Thursday on the four sand courts on Scheveningen beach. Two matches each were also set to be played on specialty-made set ups in the Marktplein at Apeldoorn and the Gustav Mahlerplein in Amsterdam.
As a "prelude†to the 2015 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, the final three days of the Transavia Grand Slam will be staged only at the Scheveningen courts where the medal matches will be played Sunday. The final two teams in both gender's competition with be competing for the gold medals and a share of the $70,000 first-place prize for each winning team.
Following this week's event, the FIVB World Tour returns to the United States for the second-straight year as Long Beach in southern California hosts another $1-million event. The international circuit returns to Europe in August for stops in Austria (Klagenfurt, July 29-August 3) and Poland (Stare Jablonki, August 19-24).
