MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- Feline lovers holding pictures of cats, clutching stuffed animals and wearing whiskers faced-off against hundreds of hunters at meetings around Wisconsin to voice their opinion on whether to legalize cat hunting.

Residents in 72 counties were asked whether free-roaming cats -- including any domestic cat that isn't under the owner's direct control or any cat without a collar -- should be listed as an unprotected species. If listed as so, the cats could be hunted.

The proposal was one of several dozen included in a spring vote on hunting and fishing issues held by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The results, only advisory, get forwarded to the state Natural Resources Board.

Statewide results were expected Tuesday.

La Crosse firefighter Mark Smith, 48, helped lead the cat-hunting proposal. He wants Wisconsin to declare free-roaming wild cats an unprotected species, just like skunks or gophers. Anyone with a small-game license could shoot the cats at will.

In addition to artist booths, music industry organizations, media outlets
and lifestyle sponsors are also reserving booth space at "Country Music's
Biggest Party(TM)" including an exhibit of the "The Spirit of Liberty"
motorcycle, built by Orange County Choppers on the Discovery Channel's hit reality series "American Chopper."
The chopper, which is entirely plated in copper preserved from the Statue of Liberty National Monument, was commissioned by Gold Leaf Corporation as a tribute to America. Even the shift lever was created from electrical cable that previously lit the statue's torch.

The waiver also said that McGraw's statements shouldn't be considered therapy or a substitute for any form of therapy. Talking to a show representative, Sutz was told he could attend but couldn't talk to Dr. Phil or participate in the show -- for Sutz's own protection.

Dr. Phil - Entertainer, not Therapist? Say it isn't so.

It's about time panties came with status codes!

Yes, just in time for Valentine's Day, we bring you HTTPanties for the discriminating woman who would prefer a web-savvy and somewhat-direct approach in the romance department.

Feeling frisky? Well then don the black "200 OK" panties and see where they take you. Alternatively, the white "403 Forbidden" style sends a very different and hopefully clear message.
