"I have been around black bears all of my life and find that while there may be the occasional rogue, 99% of them are reasonably peaceful, docile, quiet animals. Black bears are timid and reclusive. They infrequently impact humans.

Bears that become dependent on human food sources, such as garbage or homeowner handouts, become very uppity when this largesse is withdrawn.

First and foremost when bear visits ares suspected and damaged is observed, is to cut off absolutely all sources of food while simultaneously and vigorously discouraging the bear from coming around. Fish and Game officials can react quickly by catching the now-hungry bear in a live trap. They may take it 50 miles off into the forest, but there is no guarantee bruin won't return.

Bears easily range 50 miles if they wish. A relocated bruin could be right back at home in suburbia that night if it continued to believe your place provided the best deal..

Pepper sprays will mightly discourage marauding black bears. Pepper spray can be purchased at local sporting goods dealers or mail order from Revel Technology Inc., 832 West 1st, Birdsboro, PA, ARMI Market Products Box 3323, Yakima, WA phone # 1-800-735-1797.
Bears run 35 mph. When necessary, deploy your pepper gas early in large volumes."

This is what Larry said.

Integrity

Charles said the following concerning Pre-Employment Integrity Tests Dos And Don'ts:
"Do take these tests seriously. Your potential employers do.
Don' admit to risk-taking behavior. It is a fairly well-established indicant of delinquency/dishonesty.
Don't admit to 'thinking about' theft.
Do pattern your responses to make yourself look conventional, responsible, and self-controlled.
Don't give answers that make you look rebellious, defensive, or moody.
Don't hesitate to choose the socially desirable response, even if that's not how you feel. Studies have shown that people who fake good get better scores. So, if asked to rate your level of honesty, always choose Above Average or Well Above Average.
Don't admit to owing large debts or to anything else that might make your financial/work history look suspicious.
Do finish the test quickly.
Do answer every question, even if you consider some of them too intrusive or offensive.
Do question the examiner about the test's reliability an validity coefficients. At the very least, this alerts him/her to thefact that you know a little something about test theory.
Do ask to see your score. Most tests have multiple cutoffs...If your score falls into the borderline area, you may be given the benefit of doubt.
Do express a rosy world view. Most of us is honest, etc.
Do express a punitive attitude. If you given a choice of punishments, always choose the harshest.
Do practice test.
Don't assume that failing a test makes you a bad person. Integrity test misclassification rates are notoriously high. Remember, as many as 75 percent of all applicants will fail certain tests, and one test apparently had such high standards that not even a nun could pass it.
Do learn your legal rights. If you feel that that you have been unjustly denied employment due to an integrity test, then contact the ACLU or see a lawyer. The overwhelming majority of testing authorities agree that no single test score should serve as the sole basis for a hiring decision.
Don't be afraid to speak up for your rights. If you don't do it, nobody else will."
