If you are a Pennsylvania resident and shoot a deer in New York, don’t plan on toting the carcass back home on the hood of your truck. Not legal. |
OK, so the state police and Encon officers have been stopping hunters trying to bring deer carcasses across the border in this direction for several years while the state attempts to limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease. |
But now it’s Pennsylvania’s turn. |
Pennsylvania long has prohibited the importation of high-risk cervid parts from areas where CWD has been detected. This prohibition reduces the possibility of CWD, which always is fatal to the cervids it infects, spreading to new areas within Pennsylvania. |
The Pennsylvania Game Commission this year strengthened its ban on importing high-risk cervid parts by prohibiting any deer taken in New York, Ohio, Maryland or West Virginia from being brought back to Pennsylvania whole. |
In previous seasons, the prohibition applied only to deer taken within counties in those states where CWD has been detected. |
Under the new guidelines, Pennsylvanians who kill deer anywhere in New York, Ohio, Maryland or West Virginia either must have them processed in those states or remove the high-risk parts before bringing the meat and other low-risk parts back into Pennsylvania. |
There now are 24 states and two Canadian provinces from which high-risk cervid parts cannot be imported into Pennsylvania. |
The parts ban affects deer, elk, moose, mule deer and other cervids in: Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming; as w... |
Pennsylvanians are allowed to import meat from any deer, elk, moose, mule deer or caribou, so long as the backbone and skull is not present. |

We’ve all heard the merits of cleaning a muzzleloader between shots at the range. Turns out, you shouldn’t. |
Cleaning between shots removes the "first-shot fouling" that is actually a carpet to accuracy. A "spit patch" between shots will remove the excess fouling while leaving the first-shot fouling on the barrel. |
Doubtful? Chronograph three five-shot strings with the same load. For the first string, do nothing between shots. For the second string, swab with a patch dampened with cleaner. For the third string, swab with a spit patch. You will be amazed. |
In addition, you should always seat your bullet using a bullet starter that will not deform the end of the bullet. |
And don’t weigh powder charges. All blackpowder and blackpowder substitutes are designed to be loaded by volume, not weight. A 150-grain charge by weight is equivalent to more than 200 grains volume — a recipe for huge recoil if not disaster. |

In the heart of Florida’s industrial-scale fruit and vegetable fields, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers has achieved the most tangible gains for US farmworkers since the glory days of the California-based United Farm Workers in the 1970s. CIW has methodically taken on large tomato growers and the giant corporations t... |
He had been working at a vegetable packing house, packing eggplants, about 10 miles from Immokalee when a supervisor approached him. According to the worker, the supervisor criticized his work, and he, thinking the criticism unjustified, answered back. A discussion ensued when, according to the worker and a witness, th... |
He had been picking tomatoes in a field near Immokalee when he stopped to take a drink of water. A field supervisor accosted him, shouted “Are you here to work, or to drink water?”, and launched into him, leaving him badly bruised and bloodied—and determined to find justice. The young worker walked back to Immokalee, h... |
While I read CIW’s report, I thought about another place farmworkers are getting beat up: in the halls of the US Senate. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) have introduced what they call “common sense” legislation designed to squash new rules proposed by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis that impose new ... |
The lawmakers claim that they are merely defending the right rights of family farmers to raise their kids as they please. “This is another example of the Obama administration initiating unsolicited regulations that would prohibit normal practices that have been carried out in rural areas for generations—not to mention ... |
That’s hogwash. The new rules would preserve the so-called “parental exception” that allows farm owners to put their kids to work at any age, in any job, “even hazardous work,” the Labor Department web site states. Rather than an attack on family farms, “The proposed rules represent long-overdue protections for childre... |
But farmworker kids need more than new work restrictions. As U. Roberto Romano ‘s recent documentary The Harvest/La Cosecha—which I reviewed here—demonstrates, the fundamental problem is low wages. None of the families depicted in the film would subject their kids to lives of field labor if they weren’t desperate for m... |
And that brings us back to Immokalee, Florida. In addition to fighting the absurd Thune/Moran legislation and defending the proposed labor-department rules, people who don’t want to eat food picked by kids sacrificing their educations should also support the fight for higher wages. The penny per pound won by the CIW li... |
Today, even the best-organized farmworkers in the county make just $17,000—or just slightly more than a worker employed all year at the current minimum wage of $7.25. |
KATE Middleton and Meghan Markle have a lot more in common than just marrying a Prince. |
After years of the Kate Middleton effect sweeping the nation, new sister-in-law Meghan Markle is quickly catching up. |
While the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex each have their very own unique style — despite 36 year old Meghan's regal makeover after the Royal Wedding —they do have some fashion quirks in common. |
Fashion brands they love, for example. |
Here's some of the designers Prince William and Prince Harry's wives have both been spotted in over their years in the public eye. |
This little London brand has a hold on the American and English royal alike. |
Self-Portrait only launched in 2013, but it's already been a royal hit. |
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis's mum wore a maxi white pleated dress by the designer to the premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob in November, 2016. |
Meanwhile Meghan donned a green Self-Portrait dress to the 2018 Invictus Games, causing an instant sell out of the £300 number. |
She teamed it with an Alexander McQueen blazer — another of her sister-in-law's favourites. |
In case you missed it, former Suits actress Meghan stunned at her wedding to Harry when she emerged for the reception in a gorgeous Stella McCartney dress. |
The bride opted for a fuss free, floor length halterneck style gown to celebrate her wedding reception. |
Of course Pippa Middleton's big sister is also a huge fan of the British designer. |
The 36 year old mum-of-three wore a blue shift dress by Stella McCartney in 2012 to the Olympic Tennis matches in Wimbledon, and has recycled it countless times since. |
Who doesn't love a Barbour jacket? Because when the royals do casual wear, they still do it with serious style. |
Kate styled hers in the past with dark jeans and Wellington boots, while Meghan has teamed her sturdy coat with everything from sports legging to faded denim. |
Global trade tensions and worries about a U.S. recession dragged markets lower at year-end, leaving the 500 people on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a combined net worth of $4.7 trillion as of Friday's close. It's only the second annual decline for the daily wealth index since its 2012 debut, and represents a sh... |

President Donald Trump wrote early Wednesday morning in a tweet that Carter Page — a foreign policy consultant and, also, a man whom the president does not know — has evidence that "blows away" the Russia-related case against him. |
Citing a letter Page wrote to the House Intelligence Committee on Monday, Trump announced to the country that Page could prove that former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan had lied under oath. |
Trump also tweeted that Democrats in Congress were actively trying to stall Page's testimony. His claim appears to be based on a "Fox and Friends" segment. Minutes before Trump's tweet, "Fox and Friends" reported on the letter in which Page seemed to suggest, without basis, that members of the intelligence committee we... |
"I have learned from your Committee staff on this Memorial Day holiday that I might not be immediately afforded the opportunity to address the false or misleading testimony by James Comey, John Brennan, et al, as per our previously scheduled appointment for next week," Page wrote in the letter, obtained by Business Ins... |
The president appears mighty confident that Page is being truthful when he says that he has "accurate information" that could exonerate him. This despite the fact that White House press secretary Sean Spicer claimed in January that Page "is an individual who the president-elect does not know and was put on notice month... |

When I've written about our listing mis-education system, my focus has mainly been on rampant political correctness, on how students learn few of the right things partially because of emphasis on teaching the wrong things. Yet there's another problem: in some cases the teachers couldn't teach the right things even if t... |
Professor Walter Williams treated this in his latest syndicated column, "Dishonest Educators." He introduces the topic by talking about the fairly recent cheating scandals in places such as Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, New York, Detroit, and other large cities (in areas that, not coincidentally, also have high rates... |
Here's a practice Praxis I math question: Which of the following is equal to a quarter-million — 40,000, 250,000, 2,500,000, 1/4,000,000 or 4/1,000,000? The test taker is asked to click on the correct answer. A practice writing skills question is to identify the error in the following sentence: "The club members agreed... |
Forget about the fact that adults would find such questions challenging; it's a sad statement about our society that we'd set the bar for teacher certification so low in the first place. I had to think: how young was I when I didn't know the answers to the above two questions? Ten? Nine? Maybe even eight? Idiocracy has... |
Professor Williams also touches on a third rail of American social commentary, mentioning that most of the teachers hiring the surrogates are likely black — and that most of the surrogates may very well be white. Now, before anyone thinks of "Summerizing" Williams (not as I have. Rather, this refers to application of t... |
But never fear, Dr. Williams. I'm sure these molders of young minds are well versed in afro-centrism, critical-race theory, and the principles of white privilege. |
On the show,Mencia,a Latino,rips racial and sexual stereotypes in the rawest way possible – by getting in people ‘s faces and asking the questions that most folks are afraid to ask.Along the way he tries to point out society ‘s hypocrises and manages to insult everyone – black,,white,Asian,fat, skinny or otherwise. |
Those who police what ‘s politically correct and what ‘s not are his sworn enemies. “There ‘s this stupid racial test out there where they describe to somebody the black guy without saying that he ‘s black,like that ‘s some big deal,”Mencia says. “And to me it ‘s not the fact he ‘s black,it ‘s the fact that being black... |

Comedy Central showcased Mencia when his showed debuted earlier this year by making it a companion piece to “Chappelle ‘s Show.” But when Dave Chappelle decided to go AWOL after signing a $50 million deal with the network,Mencia found himself in the uncomfortable position of being expected to replace the mega hit. |

Controversial TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson is proud to champion the freedom of the individual over Government rules and regulations. |
But today he was hoping to curtail the freedom of ramblers and celebrity spotters to ensure his own privacy. |
The Top Gear presenter claims he has been driven mad by walkers who have destroyed the peace of his hideaway home at a remote beauty spot. |
Usually the TV star loves being the centre of attention, but he says celebrity spotters have gone too far by coming up to his luxury house snapping pictures and hurling abuse. |
The dispute broke out in 2005 when Clarkson closed a 250 yard stretch of the path on his land and diverted it around his multi-million pound lighthouse home on the windswept Langness peninsula on the Isle of Man. |
Although not legally a public footpath, campaigners claim that historically the landowner had granted 'permissive rights' to walkers. |
But the move caused outage among residents and walkers who say the ancient path had been used for generations and should be designated as an established right of way. |
Now after a four-year wrangle the dispute has finally come to a head at a public inqury which will rule on who is in the right. |
But Clarkson, 49, has warned he will sell up if the hearing decides that the footpath should be open to everyone. |
The broadcaster's wife Frances Clarkson told the inquiry that walkers on the peninsula are abusive to members of her family at least twice a week. |
Mrs Clarkson, who was born on the island, said members of the public had even abused their young children. |
She said she and her husband had also struggled to enforce a rule which required dog walkers to keep their animals on a lead. |
Mrs Clarkson claimed people continually attempt to get up close to their home to take photos, but the final straw came in 2005 when fans came up to their window and took photos of her husband as his relaxed with his children. |
Clarkson married Frances in May 1993, she was his manager at the time, and the couple bought the lighthouse as a holiday home in 2004. |
The couple currently spend most of the time at their home in the Cotswolds with their three children Emily, 15, Finlo,13 and 10 year-old Katya. |
Mrs Clarkson told the inquiry they had been constantly badgered by walkers and celebrity spotters intruding on their privacy. |
'In order to maintain our privacy we shut off a short section of the land. The general public have had our permission to use the rest of it,' she said. |
'We have had a small minority of rather vociferous ramblers who want to implement this as a right of way past our windows. |
'The reason we came here was for my husband to have a bit of peace of quiet and tranquility. We had people come up to him at close range and take photographs even when he's sat eating a pork pie relaxing with the kids. It's our little sanctuary which I'm afraid has been rather ruined. |
In her evidence Mrs Clarkson emphasied that she had never refused permission to walk the land to anybody who had asked. |
Ian Costain, a campaigner for Public Rights of Way Langness (PROWL), said the group would produce evidence that members of the public have used the network of footpaths 'as of right' for 21 years and that as a result a right of way had been established and the paths should now be designated as such. |
But the Clarksons' counsel James Ramsden said in his opening address that no rights of way had ever existed on the land. |
He said it was a sad fact that there had been 'personal hostility' and a 'lack of a willingness to compromise' by a minority in PROWL. |
After four days of hearing evidence, today inquiry inspector Roy Hickey visited the peninsula, with the Clarkson's legal team and members of the pressure group PRoWL. The TV host has stayed away from the proceedings. |
The hearing has been adjourned until August 11. |
Hilda Hilst (1930–2004) was one of the greatest Brazilian writers of the twentieth century, but her books have languished untranslated, in part because of their formally radical nature. This translation of With My Dog-Eyes brings a crucial work from her oeuvre into English for the first time. |
