COLLEGE STATION -- The 7th-ranked Texas A&M softball team will play host to the Florida Gators this weekend in the 2007 College Station Super Regional. The first game of the best-of-three series is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Friday at the Aggie Softball Complex.
All of the weekend's games will be televised by ESPN. Live audio will also be available on AggieAthletics.com through the new Aggies All-Access. Fans in the Bryan/College Station area can listen locally on Sports Radio 1150 The Zone.
"Our team is really excited to have the opportunity to host a NCAA Super Regional," A&M head coach Jo Evans said. "Our kids have been giddy for the last couple of weeks, just getting ready for this. It is something we have talked about a lot. We have worked really hard to get homefield advantage and be able to host, so I am excited for our kids."
The Aggies (44-11) enter the series after defeating Houston (5-0) in the championship game of the College Station Regional.
The Gators (49-20) shutout the Texas Longhorns (3-0) to claim the Gainesville Regional title.
This will be the first match-up between the two programs. Florida and Kentucky are the only two Southeastern Conference teams that A&M has not faced. A&M is the only Big 12 school Florida has not played since joining the NCAA in 1997.
A&M senior centerfielder Sharonda McDonald went on a tear in the College Station Regional, hitting 12-for-16 at the plate with 12 runs scored, two RBIs and five stolen bases. McDonald's performance at the plate was the best by any single individual in hits (12), average (.750) and runs scored (12). The Dobie High School product was tied for first in stolen bases (5).
Stacy Nelson leads the Gators with 33 wins in the circle and a 0.88 ERA. Nelson threw a one-hit shutout against Georgia Tech to advance Florida to the championship game against Texas last Sunday. In 301.1 innings of work, Nelson has struck out 273 batters, holding opposing hitters to a .180 average.
The second game of the series is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday. If a third game is necessary, it will be played 30 minutes following the conclusion of the second game Saturday afternoon.
The winner of the College Station Super Regional will advance to the Women's College World Series at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City to face the winner of the Knoxville Super Regional, which features Tennessee (57-5) and Hawaii (49-11).
"Florida has a great team," Evans ended. "It is going to be a great match-up between the two programs. We both have great pitching and speed. I think it is going to be nice to play in front of our home crowd. Hopefully we will get a lot of the 12th Man out and get them fired up. It should be a great weekend. There is nothing more motivating than knowing you are two wins away from going to the Women's College World Series."

Recycled Percussion To Perform In Concert At Morningside College
The percussion rock band Recycled Percussion, which makes its music from trash, will perform in concert on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 8 p.m. in Klinger-Neal Theatre, 3700 Peters Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS) and the Morningside Activities Council (MAC).
Just like its name suggests, the band literally makes its music from recycled trash. Discarded items such as barrels, basement garbage, building site leftovers, pots, pans, stepladders, fifty-gallon drums, and recycled chainsaws are used to create a unique sound described as powerful industrial drumming backed by metal grinding guitar and hip-hop/funk with the talent of three drummers and a DJ. Their style has coined phrases such as "power percussion" and "junk rock."
The members of Recycled Percussion – Justin Spencer, Jim Magoon, Ryan Vezina, and DJ Pharaoh – have been together for four years and have played with performers such as LL Cool J and performed during halftime shows at many National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Football League (NFL) games.

Nam Hari Kaur
Nam Hari Kaur had the rare privilege of sitting at the feet of the Master, Yogi Bhajan, to learn the esoteric science of Yogic Numerology.
She lived in the Mother Ashram in New Mexico for 16 years, and over the course of 7 of those years she would walk from her house at the Mother Ashram to the 'Ranch,' where Yogi Bhajan would have her speak to his guests and staff members about the meaning of their birth date numbers. He would then comment further on her analysis, always showing her the next step and dimension of this sacred science. At the end of her 7 year training he said to her, "That's it, you know it all!"

How DARE this evil bee itch spew such garbage!She wouldn´t know patriotism if it rose up and bit her in the butt.Uppity, isn´t she?
This has to be the most delusional administration we have ever had in our Nation. They are truly clueless blithering idiots.
The slumlord has spoken.
I honestly don´t understand how these evil liars like ValJar don´t spontaneously combust.
Currently watching news on former LAPD fugitive in a burning cabin at Big Bear, CA. In another hour there will be another angry, hate filled man standing in the House, calling for revenge against the successful. Weird day.
Every member of this regime depends upon lies and propaganda to push their Marxist agenda. I am so sorry that the Lo-Not informed citizens fall for this fakery.Bet she learned that Big Lie scam from some German. She is after all a former slum landlord from the corrupt Chicago political pool with no concern for anyone but herself and lining her pockets.
This reminds me of Adolf Hitler´s boasting, in 1944/45, of the many revenge weapons that would win the war for the Nazis.
Don´t bother Valerie, nobody´s buying what you´re selling. We´ve already had 4 years of your lies and while we may have to get 4 more it doesn´t mean we would ever be dumb enough to believe them.
I really dislike this woman, she has no idea what patriotism is. Please go away, go far away. I am sick of you and your boss.
How nice to hear from an Iranian national with top US security clearance.
Obviously around 50% of the American people believe the BS coming from this communist and his regime
That evil evil *itch.
Obama is a communist, a liar, and has no American values. I am none of that and there is no basis for anything but no to everything he says or proposes. I look forward to Obama´s retirement.
Thanks Val! So much for the state of our union.
Marxists, Fascists and dictators always have to have an enemy to point to and blame things on...oh, and a dumbed-down, barely aware, self-absorbed, media-influenced, celebrity-obsessed, Kool-Aid drinking, free-loading, dependent, ignorant, low information, gullible bunch of zombies to pander to!
You´re right number 15 and that describes half of this country!
I cannot believe that she said this. When 0bama first won in 2008, he puffed out his chest, proclaimed he had WON, and HE would be making the rules. He had a democrat house and senate, and the republicans were locked out (they actually changed the locks), and the democrats crafted the billion dollar stimulus to benefit themselves. The democrats then crafted the most horrid healthcare bill possible, none of them read it, but they rammed it down the taxpayers´ throats. And this evil Jarrett has the audacity to say 0bama has reached across the aisle. 0bama has ruled as a dictator with his executive privilege.
For Obamination´s first 2 years he didn´t need Republicans since he had full control of Senate and House.Reminds me of the 2008 campaigns when Democrats talked about the 8 years of Republican this and that, when they had already controlled the House and Senate the last 2 years of GWB presidency.Of course, Republicans didn´t refute or rebutt that claim.
What Cheney said!
We had the charmer, ValJar, figured out when she made her Washington debut dressed in that hideous mummy gown."Lack of patriotism" my a__! If the Conservatives were honest, they would rebut ValJar´s accusation by calling the Dems "walking pieces of human excrement with legs." It is too late in this game to be nice.
#11 No, 50% of the voters do not agree with ValJar--they don´t even know who she is, what she does, or how she came to hold the position she does. The LoFo Vo´s don´t have a clue--and they´re not watching Bammykins self-serving speech.They just saw a skin color, or clutched a free phone, and voted for it.
At the end of the day, I will do what is best for my family. My wife has been pressuring me for us to emigrate to her homeland, and Obama is helping her argument by defecating on what was once the shining city on the hill. I curse his name forever.
When we thoughtlessly voted to re-elect this evil, we ceded the right to decide what is patriotic and what is not. Sounds harsh but elections have consequences.
IF i wrote what i realy thought of these people i would not be able to post anymore so just use your imagination you will get it
I am of the belief that his geeks comb these web sites and take anything anyone says and turns it around like it was his idea.Watching his highness speak now and all I hear is blah blah blah yada yada. The smirk and his narcisstistic behavior is sickening.Any bets on him saying ´Damn I am good´ when he leaves tonight ?
In Obama´s America, that could be a compliment.We´ll need to deal with our domestic enemies.
There are no devils left in hell. They´re all here.
Valerie Jarrett has one notable thing in common with Obama: they both spent a good chunk of their formative years in muslim countries.Aside from that, how dare this Chicago slumlord pass judgement on anyone, Republicans or anybody else?
And like whipped dogs, republicans tuck their tails between their legs and slink off into the bushes to hide.
VJ Is correct. The House Republicans have been unpatrioic, which is to say they are sitting by watching the Democrats destroy the USA. They refuse to fight back in every way possible against a tyrannical Administration.In my opinion, of course.
Look, she doesn´t have to combust or anything else. LoFos will believe her and allow the Ds to retake the house. On the bright side, we are that much closer to the collapse of the Union and its refounding.
We can rant and rave all we want on these web sites but it´s to no avail.Your words, letters, calls to radio stations, calls to Congress, bumper stickers, conservative news, ... are a waste of time. Nothing is going to change. The country continues to decline.America is stuck with him for four more years.Pray for your country.
Yep, when we watch them roll over for Hagel and Brennan, it´ll be pretty hard to argue with ValJar.

If you read the repoort, here was the first screwed chance.
Tom on bait the night the of 15th.
Sat the 16th till 11:00 then told, " We must leave" read the report.
Oh well , what do I know.....
Note the time.....
Then he states we sit the next night, Why, he's eaten 100lbs in 2 nights,I was all for it but he won't be back.
Oh well what do I know.....
He doesn't come back.
Told not enough bait...Hmmm CRACK, BREAK.....
Read the story....
But what do I know.....
He's back and we aren't in the blind, we don't even have a blind anymore at that site....
Oh well.
Same camera, switched tree about 5 feet away.
Lost a nice tom on this one. I will never let another PH tell me what "WE" are doing on a hunt I'm paying for.
More pics to come....I guess I'm dumb as dirt but if you have an active tom on bait you sit, Don't you?

I am pretty certain I can see evidence of sex on that first picture.
I am very confused by the PH's behaviour.
Was it illegal to night hunt there? Why would he want to leave?
Very hard lesson. Really Sad!Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

Dennis sorry about your experience, I do believe that you are taking a hard line as judging all professional hunters on one experience is tough..... I do not think that the attitude you are adopting will be conducive to good future safaris.
Not to be nasty but most guides use knowledge gathered over many , many years of experience on African game to provide their clients with an unforgettably awesome experience.
Leaping over the rainbow towards the other side of the scale will most probably provide the same.
I truly hope that your future experiences will be better.
My best always

JACO, your taking this in much the wrong sense, I have hunted with S A and other PH's in 6 countries and this IS my first gone wrong safari. I just ran into the wrong PH for me. I IN NO WAY expressed anything about PH's as a whole, I on this safari realized , I was the paying client and I will no longer on any safari sit back and be walked thru watching a PH hunt while I foot the bill with no input.
My onyy point to any ph was Ask the client questions and fill him in on what's going on and let him be involved in the options.
I spent a week in S A before this experioence and Ricus was completely different than this PH. Ricus asked and walked me thru everything and bent over backwards to know my wishes and wants and how I wanted to hunt. Gave me options about how to proceed, the pro's and cons of each choice then we discussed and we hunted. He the S A Ph new how to open the door and talk, and walk me thru it, not slam it open and puch me thru his way.
Sorry you take my report as being of all PH's. It is not ,and any implication was not and never intended.

Dennis, I did take it in the wrong sense,.... Hunting is a team effort between client and guide, discussing option possibilities and such, a big thumbs up to Ricus for having you involved throughout your whole SA experience... As you correctly state being a passenger is boring...
Once again I hope that your future safaris will hold only fond memories and some great trophies.
My best always.

There is lot to be said about the PH and client being on the same page. I whole heartly agree, when the hunter and PH have a different game plan...the expensive hunt, even is it is successful, can leave bad memories. It is always best to hunt with someone that thinks similiar to the way you view life.

Dear Sir,
While I sympathise with your disappointment following your unsuccessful Leopard hunt I also humbly request your attention to a few misleading statements in your hunt report.
展ould I hunt any area that has been dog hunted by what I have seen?
Nope. It lowers the ratio of female to male
滴as dog hunting affected this area? Dramatically, and it shows. Dog hunting let's the PH target males much easier. He has dog hunted this area for over 3 years taking many many cats.
Your statement suggests that hound hunting is to blame for the lack of regular sign of male leopard and while it is true that the use of hounds is more selective and much more efficient at harvesting only adult male Leopard (data for Zim 2009/10 average skull size for 20 hound hunted Leopard 16.13 Inches National average 2009 under 15 Inches), the statement by default also indicates that hunting of Leopard in that area has resulted in a reduction of male Leopard. A statement that might not impact you as possibly you will never undertake another Leopard hunt, but might cause concern for other hunters still with a Leopard hunt on their bucket list.
A study was commissioned in the Phinda-Mkhuze area of South Africa to assess the impact of neighbouring hunting operations on the Leopard conservation within the protected properties. The study seeks to prove that hunting of Leopard can be detrimental to the stability and sustainability of core breeding populations. You can google the following to access the full report Leopard in the Phinda-Mkhuze complex, G.A.Balme, R.Slotow & L.T.B. Hunter.
In Zimbabwe there is a strict quota system that is designed to prevent the over use of any game specie in any area. This is the tool for implementation when reports indicate a possible population stress, not directing blame on any 1 specific method of hunting.
In fact numerous studies point to a vital part of Leopard population stability termed recruitment. This is understood as pyramid of age experienced in any healthy Leopard population, few adults on top with a variety of ratio F:M depending on the study area but always more F:M, a greater amount of sub-adults and again more juveniles with the base of the pyramid totalling many cubs. Infant mortality is high in felines especially Leopard because they are solitary and cannot rely on a pack or pride structure to care for young and this permeates through the levels to result in a ratio of few adults: cubs. Recruitment describes the necessity of having many cubs to supply the juveniles and so it climbs. Therefore any female removed from the breeding structure has a far greater impact on recruitment than any adult, mature male. Likewise any sub-adult male has a greater impact on recruitment and therefore social stability, than any mature male. With this in mind, as hunters, it is in the best interest of sustainability to always harvest the adult, mature male that has already mated and passed on his genetics.
To my information it is illegal to kill a female Leopard in Zimbabwe outside of a PAC permit. Studies in the US on Mountain Lion populations show there is merit in a restricted female harvest quota but no such investigation has occurred anywhere in Southern Africa. We might find some parallels if harvest reports from South Africa are analyzed as there is no specification on sex or age in this country.
I do not challenge that you found little sign of Male Leopard during your hunting period of 15 days but would like for you to consider that this is a small window to pass a definite conclusion. There are also several other factors possibly responsible for the absence of a large Male population to name a couple:
Male Leopard have greater dietary requirements than Females which can subsist on small game alone, the low game numbers you report suggest that this area is not capable of retaining large Males continuously as there is not sufficient, readily available meat.
In cattle country not only sport hunters target Leopard but farmers too, Males are more adept at tackling large prey and therefore are more regular stock thieves.
Please note that I do not know the PH that conducted your hunt nor do I submit this in my personal capacity but rather that as the current Chairman of the Sub Saharan Houndsmen Association.

Thank you Gavin for your insight.
My report was my evaluation on what I saw and experienced and was my opinion.
I guess I should restate this on top of my post.
I had not told any hunter not to hunt anywhere, I state that I would not hunt there.
I am not and even more so now not a supporter of dog hunting leopards.
I felt the impact and this is just my opinon, and if it's wrong so be it.
Thanks for enlightening others on your side of dog hunting issue.
Unlike Zimbabwe we encourage free speech and don't live under a dictatorship doctrine.
I have met many Ph's from Zim and they are about 50 -50 pro to con against hound hunting.
I for one am against it and always will be.
Thanks for your input.
Ps. I have dogs, 5 to be exact.
I know your dogs are breed to hunt and are a tool to be used for hunting leopards
I'm sure you love your dogs,, but
next time one dies fighting a leopard, think of me.
No dog will ever die because I want to hunt......
I wil hunt leopards again, but not in Zimbabwe under the current rules and goverment.

Dennis, Sorry man, I feel very bad for you!
The 'old farms' part of West Nick has declined badly over the past 15 years in terms of trophy animals and outfitters are still trying to eke out a living on some of them. The area produced some huge cats over the years. But you are right. There's usually about 6 females to each male in a standard eco system, never mind a male depleted one. Our NP are not the brightest smarties in the box and they come up with some real stupid rules every now and then. This being a prime example of one...another was they tried to do the same for Zebra!! That didn't wash at all!
I don't think that the dog hunting there was the problem though. It's more to do with the locals poaching. I also doubt there's been a Hyena shot there in a very long time. They were seriously persecuted by the white farmers years ago and became very secretive.
More's the pity you didn't go back to 'Lemco' or Mazunga Safaris as it's now known. It's still a great game environment and well looked after.
At the end of the day...you deserved more diligence.
There are some very good cat hunters in Zim.
I hope your bad experience...and it was one...will not discourage others from booking hunts in Zim.
In fact if any of the AH members want any references to any Zim outfitter or PH, please don't hesitate to ask me! I don't hunt anymore and have no axe to grind with anyone in the industry. I still sit on the Joint Examining Board and am a committee member of ZPHGA. I will give you an impartial opinion to the best of my knowledge

I've never hunted leopard, so I certainly can't speak from experience, but just to play devil's advocate for a moment...The cat hit at 8 pm the night before, and then you sat until 11 pm the next night without seeing anything (I assume it's reasonable to assume that the cat might be back around the same time as the night before). Your PH felt, for some reason, that the cat knew you were there and wasn't going to show while you were there. So you left and the cat showed up a couple of hours later. Is it possible that your PH was right and that the only reason the cat came after you left was BECAUSE you left when you did? Just wondering.

Ontario, you're right! If you could ever figure out how these cats think you'd be the best cat hunter in the world.
There is nothing to predetermine what time a cat will come to feed. If he comes at 8pm one night, he may then leave that bait having filled up and go off to one of his female conquests a coupla miles away. He may have as many as 7 females that he 'services' in his territory. Depending on the availability of food in the area, these females can be spread out to a distance of about 1500 sq kms I believe. That's a lot of territory! So he may a/ find another meal the next evening, b/ skip a meal if the girls HOT!! c/ only get back late to the bait. d/ catch 1 particle of fresh human scent in 300 000 000 and depart the scene!
However, these cats get PHD in human evasion as they get older which is why they're such a sought after trophy in the first place and if he notices you hanging around he may wait or run. But he also knows that if he waits you out, there's a good chance he's gonna get a free meal he doesn't have to hunt for AGAIN!
We have in the past, in the WN area - and others, driven up to the blind, got out made a noise, and then driven away. Sometimes dropping someone there and sometimes not. Sometimes waiting an hour or so and collecting the people again. Then sneaking back in on foot. Sometimes having 3 people get out, enter the blind, then one person gets back into the truck and they drive away. The variations and games are endless!
It gives a new meaning to the expression 'cat and mouse' game!
One of the biggest issues is usually being able to sit still and quiet in the blind.
If the evening is warm, you often get a lot of swirling air currents then too!
The WN cats are in a human inhabited area, but whilst they tolerate the humans around - usually easy food sources around, within 100yds of the food will make them wait until the people leave should they find out someones there!

Maybe, maybe not, on all the above.
The point your missing Ontario is I wasn't given any options.
Like ,if we stay he may not show up, or we can leave it another night,do you want to stay all night...etc.
2 hours tells me he wasn't waiting 100 yards away.
I was paying the $15,000 wasn't it my choice, to have or to screw up?
Being in a blind may give you a 1% chance not being in it gives you 0% chance.
I was not hunting anything else, so there was no reason not to sit.
It was only the 5th night of 15 days.
We had females on trail cams that never kept a schedule sometimes 3 to 6 hours difference in apperance time and some every other night, some everynight, some every 6 to 8 hours.
If you have an active bait, a known tom. and you leave?????......
I wasn't asked, I was told.

Dennis, should we invite the PH to comment on all this? There's always two sides to a story...or as my folks always said three sides, yours, his and the right side.
I do appreciate that you're mad as a snake in a sack right now.
You do pay a PH or Guide to steer you in the right direction and sometimes the call isn't what you want to hear and then to make it worse it doesn't turn out the way they call it either as it did in your case, but that's just the way hunting (or Fishing) is...a lot of chances strung together with possible success at the end of the effort... Some people have had as many as 7 failed leopard hunts before taking one. Not that that'll make you feel any better I know.
I sure hope you'll have better luck next time!

Some food for thought :
A Leopard permit can be sold several times over generating more income for the Outfit. So making sure a Client is unsuccessful can be in the best interests of the company. Also during that period the Client can be tempted to take other animals not initially planned for. A system where the only option is the bait & blind method can work in favor of the Outfit only.
Panthera published a paper - applicability of age-based hunting regulations for African leopards (PLOS ONE: Applicability of Age-Based Hunting Regulations for African Leopards) - which documents the necessity to harvest mature males only. They go as far as proposing a NO QUOTA system provided all the Leopard killed are male, and older than 6 years. The estimated population percentage of mature males is about 8% of the total population and harvest quotas are currently worked out to be about 5% of the total population.
Targeting mature males only, following the identification guide provided by Panthera, requires far more selectivity than previously engaged. The bait & blind method alone is not ideal if this is to be regularly accomplished. How do you select 1 adult male from the population in any given area and get him on bait? It is more often the case that you harvest the biggest male that is feeding on the numerous baits (and in many cases not even).
The science is critical and we cannot preach 'sustainable utilization' out of 1 side of the mouth and 'if it has balls - shoot it' out the other side of the mouth.

Gavin, I'm glad to see you're not too biased!!
I have hunted 'males only' for many a year and it's not difficult to set up a bait and blind system to ensure you know whats happening there. I'm not saying it's right to hunt only the males but that's the way things are here whether we like it or not!
I can't open the Plos one link you posted here, but I can't say I'm for hunting leopards with dogs either...but that's just me!
Yes there are the type of outfitter that will knowingly 'defraud' their clientele by marketing the same cat to 10 different clients...there are many horror stories out there including 'frozen' cats put out for the client to shoot too, but it's not the norm...there has to be an element of trust and honour out there for a company to survive. Any company that only has a 1 in 10 success rate on cat hunting should replace it's PH's and/or look for better areas! But they won't be in the cat hunt game too long!
By the same token there have been cats with dog hunts where the cat shot is clearly a juvenile! It's the PH's job to control the hunt...and be ethical!

Hey Ole Bally, the link seems to work, not sure why you cant access it? it's a good read for anyone interested in the long term of Leopard hunting.
It is difficult not to see my opinion as being weighted for hounds, considering that is my passion, but more importantly I would like to see Leopard remaining on the 'huntable' list, especially with it's high profile and easy target for anti-hunting lobbyists.

Jarl Sigvald Deathgranter
Earlier on, Simon Grant enthused about his love of Space Wolves and we got to see some of his army. He was so excited that we had to give him two posts, so here he is to tell you about how he paints his Wolves, newer models, and a certain Jarl Sigvald Deathgranter...
Simon: I have a five-stage method to painting Space Wolf armour. Firstly, I use the Citadel Spray Gun to apply a basecoat of Fenris Grey. Before doing anything else, I take the opportunity to paint all the metal areas with Boltgun Metal before washing the entire model with Badab Black. I then layer the armour with a 1:1 mix of Shadow Grey and Space Wolves Grey, leaving the gaps in between each section the washed Fenris Grey colour (this provides a more subtle contrast from the vibrant blue-grey of the armour than black shading would). The final stage is to edge highlight the armour with pure Space Wolves Grey. In order to get a consistent 1:1 mix for the armour, I always fill a spare paint pot using a plastic syringe. That way, even if I run out of paint, I can always mix up another batch at any time, safe in the knowledge that it'll be exactly the same shade.
Rob Macfarlane, a talented mate of mine, converted my Wolf Lord, the legend that is Jarl Sigvald Deathgranter, to look just like me. As you can see, he's a handsome fella and appropriately armed with a particularly large frost axe. Perfect! I also painted Canis Wolfborn a few months ago, and couldn't resist the urge to paint some of the beautiful new Fenrisian Wolves to accompany him or act as ablative armour. Did I say that? Shame on me! I'm working on a pack of Thunderwolf Cavalry at the moment. Maybe I'll get the opportunity to show them to you when they're finished. Until then, to fellow Fenrisians out there, may you win only glory and honour, for Russ and the Allfather!

Brewers Win Bid on Japanese Central League StarThe Brewers put in a late 2.5 million dollar bid on Japanese OF Norichika Aoki and won. What does that mean? It means that Doug Melvin is preparing a little insurance for a possible Ryan Braun suspension. It also means the Brewers will have exclusive negotiating rights with Aoki for 30 days. If Aoki and the Brewers cannot come to an agreement in that time, the 2.5 million dollars would be returned to the Brewers and Aoki would go back to the organization he came from. Where is Aoki from, you ask? Aoki is a centerfielder and 3 time batting champion from the Tokyo Yakult Swallows of the Japanese Central League. In 7 seasons with the Swallows, he's a lifetime .329 hitter and is considered an above average defender with a weaker arm. He would almost certainly replace Braun in LF if the Brewers are able to sign him. He won Japan's Golden Glove for his defense in the outfield 3 times in 7 seasons and played LF in the World Baseball Classic in 2009. In that tournament, in which Japan repeated as champions, Aoki hit .324 with 7 RBI in 9 games batting third in Japan's lineup. He made the Japan national team in the 2006 World Baseball Classic as well. Japan's professional league contains 12 teams and is called Nippon Professional Baseball or the NPB. Its comprised of two leagues just like the MLB's American League and National League. The Pacific League, which uses a DH just like the American League and the Central League which is comparable to the MLB's National League (no use of the DH; pitchers hit for themselves). The Swallows are in the Central League. In 2005, Aoki's rookie year, he broke the Central League's record for hits in a single season with 202. He missed out on the NPB single season record of 210 hits, held by the Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki. Known for his bat control, Aoki doesn't strike out much (55 strike outs in 583 at bats in 2011)and can spray the ball to all fields. Most hitters from Japan lack slugging power and Aoki is no different. His career slugging percentage is .454 which is extremely low compared to Braun's career .563 slugging percentage. He definitely won't replace Braun's production, but his left-handed bat and high batting average would be a nice addition at the top of the Brewers' lineup. |

"Computer t.v. tuner for HDTV -- for an XP system"
3.5 starson by LincNebPros: Software and tuner work well together. Sub-channels are viewable on a 2.4 GHz processor system. It didn't pick up any of the analogue signals, which I didn't want anyway. You could keep the channel lists from old scans, when doing new scans.
Cons: Dongle runs warm. The saved video files are in the program file of the video program, it is not that easily gotten at. There are no drivers for Windows 7! You will be lucky to get any usable HDTV programs with a 2.4 GHz processor.
Summary: This was going to be a "toy" for me to try, since it was sold at a decent price. One fourth of the cost was shipping, and because of all the bad reviews I saw about it. It works as described, Plextor was quite honest, in saying it takes a 3Ghz processor or faster for it to get HDTV. However with the right signal strength I did get two stations that gave me video besides just audio. The t.v. picture looked like a slide show. It worked better when not using the full screen mode. What was impressive is that the recorded show setting the program to minimized, so no picture was being shown--made for an excellent recording. The audio was in stereo I would add. So, it really worked perhaps better than advertised. It might have even worked better if the computer I'm using it on, didn't have to use the integrated graphics.
I have the dongle sitting on an aluminum block, which was a part of a CPU cooler system. I'm beginning to think all t.v. tuner dongles, no matter what the brand, should some provision for extra cooling to extend their life.
I would wish there were some Windows 7 drivers for it, but I doubt if that will happen since it is a discontinued product. I'm glad I didn't pay any more than I did for it because of that limitation.
The antenna that came with it is good. However, I am tempted to stick it into a bucket of paint to cover up the Plextor advertisement. You will be advertising to the whole world your watching t.v., if you use that antenna.
Would I recommend it? If you have a Windows XP computer, and a fast one, and you get it for a good price, yes. If the dongle does die of a heat stroke, which I'm going to try not to let happen. I'll try to report about it.

Project execution methods
By John C. Pfeiffer
Editor's note: Last month we looked at the traditional construction project method and the roles and responsibilities of the owner, engineer, and contractor. This month, we will review those same factors as they come into play in the design/build construction method.
In the design/build (D/B) method of implementing plant construction projects, the owner contracts with the engineer/contractor or contractor/engineer company or team—depending upon who takes the lead in the project to develop the project's drawings, purchase equipment, and construct the plant.
There is a fundamental difference in responsibility between the two types of project execution methods. Under the D/B approach there is a single point of responsibility: the engineer/contractor team. Using the traditional approach, the engineer has specific responsibilities, separate and different from the responsibilities of the contractor.
The differences in project execution methods apply equally to the design of a building, a chemical process, or a manufacturing system. Today, manufacturing systems are often highly integrated systems just as with a chemical process or a building. As we move to highly integrated systems, more and more of the systems are being purchased under single contracts rather than individual purchases.
In a D/B process, a contractor provides a single source of responsibility to the owner for project design and construction. Regard-less of whether design services come from in-house, joint-venture partners, or a subcontract to architects/engineers, system integrators, or others, the D/B entity cannot divorce itself from design responsibility.
Project vision
The D/B method requires the owner to develop a detailed project scope document to define project needs. This scope definition often comes from the architect/engineer under the traditional project method, but must occur before the D/B project bids out.
The D/B contractor requires more initial information to develop its proposal than does the architectural/engineering firm. The looser the definition at the bid stage, the more changes you can expect as the project moves forward.
Often the owner will contract out this initial requirements-gathering effort along with the development of a functional specification. This is a far better practice than going out for bids with a very limited project scope document.
The success of every construction project depends as much on the project owner as it does on the engineers and contractors themselves. In addition to the responsibilities of the owner in the traditional construction project method, additional tasks assumed by the owner under D/B include:
- providing detailed definition of project requirements;
- setting the material, equipment and construction quality specifications;
- performing construction inspections;
- approving all materials and methods.
Engineer's task
The engineer is no longer a separate entity working for the owner, but rather is part of the D/B team.
Meanwhile, the essence of the contractor's contractual responsibilities in the D/B method includes those tasks addressed under the traditional approach, but now has expanded to include the majority of the design aspects of the project.
Examples of these new duties of the contractor include:
- scheduling and coordinating the work by the contractor and its subcontractors;
- supervising (controlling, directing, and coordinating) the performance of the work;
- providing labor, material, and equipment for the work;
- initiating, maintaining, and supervising all safety precautions and programs;
- providing the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures;
- warranting and guaranteeing that all work will be in accordance with the contract document.
Additional duties under the D/B method encompass responsibility for the design and performance of the project.
The different roles and responsibilities of the key players in a plant construction project—owner, engineer, and contractor—demand careful review of the pros and cons of the method used.
There is a right way for each project (possibly even with modification), but it needs to be resolved as early as possible in the project life cycle.

Are you tired of hearing about government overspending, government shutdowns and the lack of compromise? You and I have to live within a budget, so why can't the government get that through their thick heads?
Despite the frustration of a government that won't govern itself, there was one ray of hope in this entire mess. Included in the Senate budget bill was authorization to delist wolves once again, thus removing them from the Endangered Species Act authority. This once again would give states the right to manage wolves with plans approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It also stops any further court action to halt hunting of wolves by groups that use the wolf as a poster child to further their causes.
This action would give Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Utah state management over wolves. What about Wyoming? Well the radicals in Wyoming had their own plan that was rejected by the federal government. It said all wolves were considered predators and to be shot on sight except in a trophy area near Yellowstone National Park. Thankfully, a final clause in the action declares that Wyoming's plan was illegally rejected so we may soon have wolf hunting in the Cowboy State.
As I've always stated: I love seeing big predators, but in today's world of fragmented wildlife ecosystems, management is a must for all species to live in balance.
Now let's get back to the bickering of how to spend money the country doesn't have.
I'm going wolf hunting. Where did you think I was going? |

Background and objectives Delinquency, insecurity and violence threaten the quality of life in cities of Côte d'Ivoire. This threat diverts scarce resources from social and economic development, and the situation has led the Government to take measures to centralize police action and to lead international action against drug trafficking. A prevention strategy at the municipal level was, however, lacking. The project began in October 1998 at the request of the National Council of Security and the mayors of Abidjan who wanted to address urban violence by developing a prevention strategy for Abidjan. The three municipalities of Adjamé, Treichville and Yopougon were chosen. The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the city to implement prevention activities through a multisectoral and partnership approach coordinated by local authorities. The immediate objectives are the preparation of an action plan based on the results of a local security appraisal, implementation of an action plan, formulation of pilot projects and the dissemination of this experience to other cities in Côte d'Ivoire.
Activities Three coordinators were recruited in 1998 and attended a general training course organized by UN-Habitat/ICPC in November 1998. They are mobilizing civil society organizations and municipal partners to formulate an action plan. One local security council was established in Yopougon in 1998.
Results One month after the beginning of the project, there was a request from the Government and mayors to extend the Safer Cities project to other districts in Abidjan and to other cities in Côte d'Ivoire. The expected results of the project are enhanced capacity of the municipalities to establish a strategy of prevention and its implementation based on a local coalition in the city.

BRASILIA, July 22 (Reuters) - Brazil will freeze an additional 10 billion reais ($4.48 billion) in budgeted spending this year, officials said on Monday, in an effort to bolster investor confidence in the government's commitment to fiscal austerity.
The new freeze, which was originally expected to reach up to 20 billion reais, is aimed at helping the central bank battle inflation, which hit a 20-month high in June.
The government had announced a freeze of 28 billion reais in May, bringing the total amount for this year to 38 billion reais, still below last year's freeze of 55 billion reais.
After two years of aggressive spending President Dilma Rousseff is trying to convince investors her administration will stick to the tough fiscal rules that helped stabilize Latin America's largest economy after decades of crises.
'I'm confident we will meet our (fiscal) targets this year,' Finance Minister Guido Mantega told reporters, reiterating the government aims for a primary budget surplus equivalent to 2.3 percent of gross domestic product this year. 'Investors' confidence will be recovering soon.'
The new freeze includes spending on travel, rent, electricity and the hiring of new public servants.
In rare comments on the country's fiscal strategy, central bank chief Alexandre Tombini told a local newspaper on Sunday that the government needs to be clear in its next fiscal policy steps to bolster investors' confidence in an economy that is showing new signs of weakness.
Rousseff faces growing spending pressures ahead of next year's presidential election, in which she is widely expected to run, and after a recent wave of nationwide demonstrations in which thousands of Brazilians demanded more investment in health and education.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Regulating the Resource Curse
Oct 15, 2012
This summer, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new regulations requiring oil, gas, and mineral companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges to report payments to foreign governments. The aim of the effort is to reduce the kind of corruption and insecurity seen in places like Angola, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo – sometimes called the "resource curse." But, argues Wilson Center scholar Jeff Colgan, it may also help reduce international conflict between more developed countries as well.
The Shale Gas Revolution: Implications for U.S. and Canadian Energy Policy and Asian Energy Security
Sep 06, 2012
North America is enjoying a greater wealth of energy resources, with new technology making it easier to extract natural gas from dense shale rock formations. This increase in supply has caused gas prices to plummet in the United States to approximately $3 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $16 per thousand cubic feet in Asia. With Asia struggling to meet its growing energy demand, countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan are looking toward North America to help diversify their energy imports.
Many in the United States and Canada are interested in fulfilling Asia's need for gas in order to help diversify trade and boost the economy. Others fear that liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will hurt North America's energy security and that LNG exports may raise domestic gas prices. NBR recently spoke with James Slutz, President and Managing Director of Global Energy Strategies LLC, to better understand this debate and the implications for U.S. energy and foreign policy.

Is Europe's Bailout 'A Gigantic Con Game'?
Italy needs the backing of Europe's bailout fund. But Italy's a huge economy — much, much bigger than Greece, Portugal, and Ireland combined. And the Europeans don't want to put enough money into their bailout fund to back Italy.
So they're getting creative.
The rest of Europe is likely offer investors insurance that will pay back the first 20 percent of any losses on new Italian bonds.
So if I buy an Italian bond for $100, and Italy can't pay back $10, or $15, or $20 of my bond, the rest of Europe will make up the difference. Beyond that, it's between me and Italy.
But this insurance itself comes from money that Europe is borrowing from investors.
"It's actually a gigantic con game," says Satyajit Das, an author and financial risk consultant. "It's money being moved around at a frantic rate because they don't have the money. That's the fundamental problem with the European Financial Stability Fund."
If the insurance plan doesn't work, the Europeans also have a plan B.
"The second solution is, let's place a call to China," Das says.
China might take this call-- because China wants a lot from Europe. They want Europe's economy to be strong. Europe is China's biggest customer.
China is becoming a major world power. And it wants a central place on the world stage. If China bails Europe out. Then Europe will owe China some big favors.

4.0r1: First Update for Debian Etch
Right on time to celebrate the project's 14th birthday, Debian developers gave themselves a big present – the first Point Release for Debian Etch 4.0.
Debian 4.0r1 not only includes security updates, but also fixes for bugs that appeared late in the release process that the project was unable to resolve prior to the release. An announcement by the project reveals which packages are affected.
The updates relate to the kernel used by the installer, the list of mirror servers, and support for various USB CD drives, which the installer obviously fails to detect or identifies incorrectly. A modification to Gksu additionally gives users the ability to run systems properly without using the root account.
The project also points out to users that there is no need to throw away their installation media: all you need to do is to install the updates over the Internet. The page also includes a link to a list of FTP servers.

New Age Metal Meets Old World Wood
When not rocking hard on stage, a progressive-metal band lead singer rolls gently aboard his classic wooden yawl, the John-Alden designed Malabar XV.
Queensrÿche. Surely you've heard of this successful progressive metal band. They took off in the 1980s, when hair bands tossed their manes and headbanging power ballads and Mötley Crüe's double umlauts made headlines (watch Queensrÿche on stage here).
Geoff Tate is Queensrÿche's songwriter and lead singer, and his music and band career span three decades.
Geoff and his cohorts formed the band, first called The Mob, in Bellevue, Washington, in 1981, and today, Queensrÿche has sold 20 million albums worldwide while its members have pulled off a grinding tour schedule that's had them play dates in 36 countries.
Life's often "a bit hectic," Geoff says. In the meantime, he and his wife, Susan, have raised four daughters. When not making music or handling family matters, Geoff has a couple of hobbies, including promoting his own line of fine wines.
The other pastime helps him recharge his psychic batteries and find a quiet space in which to create new artistic material. When not rocking hard on stage, Geoff rocks gently in a lonely bay on board his classic wooden yawl, the John Alden-designed Malabar XV.
I met up with Geoff in Kingston Marina, on the Kitsap Peninsula across Puget Sound from Seattle, Washington, to learn more about him and his apparently incongruous connection to this historic old Alden.
Growing up in a military family in the Pacific Northwest, Geoff was no stranger to mobility, but Tacoma, Washington, was the closest thing he had to a hometown. His first memory of sailing was with his grandfather in a little V-bottom wooden sloop. He says he did a lot of growing up on that boat.
He spent a good deal of his youth beachcombing on the Tacoma waterfront. One day, he and his cousin came across a small rowboat grounded on the beach. They posted a lost-and-found ad in front of the local grocery store, but when no one responded, they assumed their first command. They patched it up, painted it, and made a mast and, with their grandmother's donation of a bedsheet, a sail. For years they explored the many nooks and crannies of Puget Sound in that humble little craft.
