The deadline to mail the acceptance letter w the $500 check was March 18, 2013. Orientation is on April 05, 2013. Last year, I knew someone who was called in the day before orientation and she had to bring in a $500 check to orientation. So be ready with the check! I hope you get a call from NJCU!
- 0Mar 25, '13 by CaitlinNJCUFRCN,
Thanks! and good luck with the program!

- 0Apr 11, '13 by KATNICHey Traudel,
Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner, orientation was very informative. I counted 25 people. I believe they accepted 30 students this year. NJCU didn't have all the sample uniforms during orientation, so we were asked to go to Wall Campus to try on the uniforms before ordering and to donate Blood. This will also give us an opportunity to meet the current Wall graduating class.
I feel for you and hope you get a call. We have an IT class May 17, then we start the following week.
Good Luck!
- 0Apr 11, '13 by CaitlinNJCUseong,
nope! I can't take this waiting!

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - The Nevada Department of Transportation has
made it a goal to allot nearly six percent of federal road funding to minority and women-owned businesses.
NDOT received the order from the Federal Highway Administration in a May 5 letter.
Roc Stacey, NDOT's contract compliance division manager, says the agency hasn't had diversity goals for projects for several years. He says the state thought it could achieve the 6 percent mark through its normal bidding process, but that hasn't been the case.
If the state isn't in compliance with the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program it could lose federal funding.
The program is designed to help small and minority-owned businesses compete with the larger contractors.

I worked at TASC full-time (more than an year)Pros
Broad contract opportunities, relatively speaking. Talented technical experts in non-managerial rolesCons
Really crushed so many employees through benefit cuts that it's comical to hear senior leaders say that the company is great. When your BU VP says "It's not a bad company to work for," you know things are in the death throes. Plus, the President, CEO and a bunch of senior VPs get canned in the same week? This ship is sinking fast, and if it was publicly traded, the shareholders would be furious. You can't lose over a billion in revenue and think that passing the loss on to your employees is going to be a good strategic move. A lot of great talent has been lost to Amazon, Paypal, Facebook, Booz Allen, etc. The impact of that talent loss is only going to get worse as time goes on with more mediocre talent replacing those that left because the benefits aren't competitive.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Liquidate. Maybe a few smaller companies would have a better shot at success, but the current structure is going to crush the company under its own weight.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Best Jock ever
By Rick the Runner
from San Rafael, CA
About Me Avid Athlete
Best Uses
Comments about R-Gear Mens Road Runner Sports Keep-It-Cool Supporter 3 pack Underwear Bottoms:
Most comfortable jock I've found - and I've tried about every one made. The smooth fabric is the best part - no odd synthetic weave using rubber. It does run a bit large - I have a 32-33 waste and use the small - and mine have stretched a bit over a year of use, so I have to pull the waste strap higher than before. Also - you can't use bleach when washing as it deteriorates the material. Still - a great jock that I'll buy again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I think I finally found what i'm looking

For years I have had a terrible chaffing problem to the point where I would get terribly painful blisters on my inner thighs. I have tried numerous pairs of shorts like these. I bought a pair from RR years ago that work ok but they are not as supportive as these and things don't sit right. I bought these hoping. the minute I put them on I knew I had what I have been endlessing searching for. The give nice comfortable support and I know I will be ale to walk for hours in the heat shopping with my and at the end of the day not look like an upside down letter 'Y'! I bought 2 to start and I am buying 2 more. Thanks you!

Microsoft denies Zune copyright cop
Couldn't agree more
People use youtube precisely because it does contain bother user generated and copyrighted material. I as a user don't care who's arse you have to kiss, I want what I want. If they aren't going to give it to me, I'll go elsewhere.
If MS aren't willing / able to follow suit, they may as well get out of the business now and save some money.

Creative climbs down over home brew Vista drivers
Ass whupping
To be honest, I'm suprised Creative and other vendors (you know who you are) aren't feeling the heat from Microsoft. Vista isn't great but the failure of these third parties to provide decent usuable drivers has left Microsoft has made the situation considerably worse for Microsoft.
Darling talks, UK growth slows
Yeah man ...
Let's all move to Poland :)
Microsoft cuts Vista price
The huddled masses
When people upgrade and OS they want
a) everything to carry on working
b) see that its faster, prettier and play with the cool new toys
c) do all the stuff they used to
So Microsoft created Vista. It does everything MS needs it to do (They can tell industry how secure it is etc) but at the expense of Users. I hate the blasted thing. With reference to the list above here why.
a) half my software doesn't work or has "issues". driver are bollocks and not only do you get charged for upgrading your OS, you have to pay for all the hardware to go with it
b) it takes an age just to do simple things i.e like copy files (wtf?) and it isn't exactly pretty. its far behind MacOS and most Linux desktops and the funny thing is, that most Linux / Office distros are beginning to work more like windows that Microsofts Windows does.
c) the built in software is no longer there (fax) or its had features removed (backup) or its been moved (hidden?) or its been wrapped in a wizard that stops you changing all the setting you need.
and why the hell are there four versions? which idiot in MS though this was a good idea? do you see 4 versions of Tiger - no, because that would be stupid. The IS may be the most important thing to MS but to the rest of us its JUST an OS, we should have to think about which one we need.
So to the guys at Microsoft ...
For Vista service pack 2, please put all the features back, make it look like XP and please, please never release another OS without asking permission first.

Charlottesville hosted the state's largest ever forum on biotechnology on Thursday, according to organizers.
More than 500 people participated at the Boar's Head Inn. There were sessions about everything from getting rid of hazardous waste to teaching kids about biotechnology in elementary schools.
It is a growing industry, and organizers say Charlottesville is one of the reasons why.
"The real drivers of biotechnology innovation are the great universities," said Jeff Gallagher with the Virginia Biotechnology Association. "Fortunately we've got one here and we've got several around the state. We are really well poised to compete internationally in biosciences."
Organizers say dozens of companies have been launched in Central Virginia thanks to biotechnology discoveries at the University of Virginia.

New Toons! Good thing, especially if they are going to follow the type of format/style show in the MOP video......
The auction houses should stay realm based, let the players have their AH PVP arenas...... The Black Market auction house should be cross faction and cross server, rather than the welfare epix vendor........
The zones being cross realm is pretty cool, and solves practically the only reason to merge servers. Merging servers would only serve to create massive lag in the popular/ expansion pack/ capitol city areas. There is the issue of resources getting scant for farming because of more farmers in some zones, but that is a tweakable sort of adjustment rather than a real issue. PVP realms will start having real woeld PVP going on, PVE players will have more factional fighting/ griefing going down. Just a tool to get the factional war and real world PVP going......
Cross-realm AH would destroy an entire facet of the game. Playing the AH relies on market inefficiencies and those would be virtually nonexistent in a true cross-realm AH. I can make gold by buying e.g. enchanting mats at the right time, pricing scrolls with a built-in profit, and waiting for someone to buy them out of impatience only because nobody else is selling the scroll for less at exactly the same time. WIth an effectively unlimited market someone will always be buying/selling at all times and those deltas between mat/product costs will never occur.
I speak as someone that made millions exploiting the flaws but I couldn't really cry for sympathy if it happened as I have abused (and even deliberately engineered via aggressive tactics) the lack of competition in order to gain a monopoly position.
As populations shrink it is becoming too easy on some realms and factions for an individual to control the market to the detriment of the majority on that realm or faction.
Many markets are broken and need to be freed up. A bit of competition would be good for everyone.
Yeah granted it is easy for me to say having already taken my profits and run but we all know deep down that it isn't fair as things stand.
I can see that viewpoint but its definitely removing one of the attractions at the theme park to do so. Just as with any other competitive facet of the game being 'fair' isn't a requirement - its a competitive aspect of the game exactly because it allows those with skill or innate advantages to prosper in a tangible manner over those with less skill or advantages exactly like pvp, heroic raiding, etc. If Blizzard deems the continuation of the AH game to be too detrimental to aspects of the game it considers to be the core components I can buy the cross-realm AH as a potential solution but it shouldn't be thought of as something that comes with no loss. At some point it would also call into question why one would even continue to have an economic system if it is just going to be homogenized to the point where its not something that players can use to differentiate themselves and just becomes busy work prior to doing dungeons or raids.
I might come across a little harsh here, but if every AH player had their fun spoiled by small realms AHs getting merged with larger ones and the markets therein being made too big to manipulate, then thats your hard cheese my friend - play the game instead. Huge markets would be hard to monitor i guess, but I would rather see players on low pop realms being able to compete to the fullest of THEIR individual abilities, rather than be limited by their virtual bank balances or lack of consumables. The gains of cross realm AH far far out weigh the losses for everyone except AH players.
So the point of being undercut very quickly is true but you will also have sells increase a great deal as well so if the undercut rate is < sale rate you stuff will sell.
I haven't noticed a real difference in amount of gathering nodes on my server, but I have sympathy for those low-pop players getting their landscape denuded by players from other servers who *then go sell it on the other servers' AH.* (not the native pop's AH!) That last clause is what I never see addessed, and I think GC is being deliberately obtuse. He has to be. He can't be that dumb. He's just ignoring that part. Someone on the forums made a comparison to African diamond mines which is apt. The people who live near the diamond mines can't ever afford to buy them; it all goes to another country which jacks the price way up. It really gives me high blood pressure to see his quotes around which are, "Oh you wusses quit whining 'mommy someone stole my herbs and mines waaah.'"
The other hilarious thing is: apparently the only major advantage ever mentioned (at least for pve) is that "We'll see people out in the world. The world is empty. We feel all alone while leveling blah blah blah." Well guess what? It never used to be that way but now everybody is PHASED depending where they are on whatever quest chain they are doing. So they brought that problem on themselves (or rather brought it on the players). Anyway I can't count how many times I've seen another person running into a cave or just over a couple yards and suddenly they disappear into another server. So really I might see someone for a few seconds in a place like Icecrown and then poof! Kinda breaks the immersion right there.
Who actually complained that "the world is empty" anyway?
Oh let me guess.....that vocal minority on the forums again.
I don't know a single player that cares. They like having other people in the capitals to group up with for dungeons but don't particularly care to suffer the consequences of those players being out in the world when they want to do some questing.
This isn't GW2; other players in the world in WoW actually detract from the game experience rather than improving it as far as the average Joe out questing is concerned.
GC is digging himself a big hole when he starts making statements to the effect that players need to remember that "WoW isn't a single player game".
For most players WoW does not work well as a multiplayer game - it compares badly with its rivals. Even in a PVE environment it frequently pits players of the same faction against each other and causes a lot of friction between players. Whether it be questing or farming, GW2 has shown us that we don't need to force "friendly" players to fight against each other like rats in a barrel.
Perhaps GC could look at fixing that before "forcing" players together - wouldn't it be good if we actually had a reason to want to see and join up with other players. We all know that when levelling up in MOP the hostile NPC's will present little or no threat to us (you won't die even once) and that the main antagonists will be the other players using every trick in the book to steal quest mobs/items from us instead of assisting. I believe that most players find that stressful and irritating rather than fun.
I take the opposite point of view. Yes other humans CAN annoy and distress you ... this is AWESOME and why I play an MMO. As a player who's been here since the game was released I lament the loss of this over the years as this is exactly how the game began and it was indeed quite fun. Yes there were infuriating, frustrating, and downright awful moments ... but there were just as many if not more exceptional ones as well. In the end I'll take higher highs and lower lows over the even-keel we've seen since Wrath ... in the end that's far less entertaining. I for one firmly believe if you don't like playing video games with other humans, play single player games. There's some pretty amazing ones out there.
You could counter argue that I should be playing GW2.
My personal opinion with WoW being middle of the road in terms of the impact of other players, is that CRZ's should be restricted to PVP servers only.
The average WoW PVE player chose to play on a PVE server to lessen the impact of other players on their game experience when doing content that is primarily designed for solo play. It is a red herring to suggest that they should be playing a single play game - WoW has content that is designed for multiplayer and solo play and it is strictly that solo element that I am interested in. Sometimes we want to play in groups, sometimes we want to play peacefully on our own without other players ruining the experience. Solo content has a perfectly valid place within an MMORPG.
If Blizzard brought back large numbers of group quests in quest zones then you might have an argument that the questing content is not tailored for those moments when you wish to play to solo. So far everything Blizzard have done suggests that it is currently intended for those moments when you wish to play alone.
Anyway suppose Blizzard did bring back lots of group quests, why do you assume that the price to pay for having this would be the chance that other players damage your game experience? GW2 proves that you can have it both ways.
So far the only reason I can see for other players including those on the same faction hindering your progress is that by slowing you down they keep you playing...and paying for longer.
I am also slightly baffled as to what exceptional multiplayer moments you have had playing on a PVE server in the post-group quest "two-shot everything" era. I had them in RIFT, I can imagine how you might get them EVE too. But in 2011/12 WoW?! No way!
See I believe there is simply intrinsic value in having other players around, even if you are not cooperating with them. The human element simply adds a chaotic, random factor the game that I consider an important part of any MMO. As with real life human interaction I must concede that it can swing too steeply negative (griefing, abuse, exploits, etc ...) but I do believe the experience of interacting with other humans to be worth the potential negatives. Levelling up in Vanilla wow after release was quite the experience ... to be honest not that dissimilar to what we experience with each expansion only less frenzied and crowded.
Having other humans around, discussing the content that is new to all of you or asking for help with newly uncovered trials and sharing individual experiences, or doing completely unexpected things ... it is worth it and something I consider an important part of MMO content. It is the difference between listening to some amazing, soul-enlightening piece of music on your own versus listening to it at a concert full of similarly affected people. Yes you can be moved in a deep and spiritual way but it's more impactful when you literally feel the same spiritual elation pouring in from all around you.
Yes you can remain insular if you choose and worst case an annoying human may come along and kill your quest bunny just as you were about to collect 10/10 or whatever ... but that's a very minor annoyance and a small price to pay as far as I'm concerned. I believe the positives of a more socialized game, no matter how esoteric, far outweigh and outnumber the negatives. That's just my belief, however. Fortunately for me the devs seem to concur.
With the Cata launch, I remember being in Hyjal just minding my own business trying to get to 85...while having an 85 kill me about 3-6 times before moving on EVERY 20-30 minutes. You see, those who were able to take time off work or lived in Mom's basement all rushed to 85 while we were at work and they had less competition for mobs/quest items etc. The griefing was literally non-stop for nearly a month.
Once that griefing had faded for a while, here came the Molten Front dailies where you were nearly assured to be camped for ~30 minutes at a time, sometimes multiple times just in the course of completing one set of dailies.
You see, almost no pvp heavy servers are actually faction balanced. This obviously implies that MOST people are on the dominant side. I've played the other and I can honestly say F them and their idea of fun.
As to having other people around, I must say I do prefer it. My issue is with pvp and now (~$150 later which still pisses me off) I am on a pve server where that's not an issue. If I am leveling in, say Duskwoood, I would prefer to see some other people around gathering bear asses too.

Standards in the AES
Standards activity in the AES started shortly after the Society was founded. Initially it was rather sporadic, but from the mid 1970s onward more formal organizational structures were introduced, which led to the publication of internationally recognized standards and the forging of closer links with other standards bodies. Standards continue to be a core activity of the AES and recent changes in organization, together with the associated provision of resources, are designed to ensure the Society can meet the future demands of the audio industry.

North Berwick drivers warned over hidden puffins
Motorists in an East Lothian town have been asked to check for disorientated young puffins - known as pufflings - hiding under their vehicles.
The Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick said pufflings regularly wander into the town by mistake after leaving their burrows for the first time.
They often settle underneath cars after searching for somewhere dark to hide.
North Berwick lies on the coast of the Firth of Forth, which houses large puffin colonies on its islands.
Staff at the seabird centre said puffins around Scotland's coastline are due to leave their breeding burrows and return to the sea over the next few weeks.
However, some pufflings become disorientated by the lights from neighbouring towns.
The Seabird Centre has, in previous years, been alerted to numerous lost pufflings - including one that was found wandering along a corridor in North Berwick's Marine Hotel.
"Where's the bar?!"
Another was found hiding under a vehicle in the local supermarket car park.
The centre's chief executive, Tom Brock appealed for drivers in North Berwick and the surrounding area to be vigilant and to contact the Seabird Centre or the Scottish SPCA if they discover a lost puffling.
Mr Brock said: "This is a key time of year for our puffins as they head out to sea after the breeding season. However, as pufflings literally fly the nest, their parents leave for sea without them. The young can become disorientated and head into town.
"My request to people along in and around North Berwick to look under your car - you may find a cute young puffin. Puffins are wonderful seabirds and an important part of our marine ecology. They are also very popular and an important part of Scotland's growing wildlife tourism economy."

Wolf found in Netherlands is no joke, scientists say
August 7th, 2013 in Biology / Plants & Animals
A stuffed wolf is displayed on August 7, 2013 in Naarden, The Netherlands, during a press conference
A stuffed wolf is displayed on August 7, 2013 in Naarden, Netherlands, during a press conference. A female wolf's body was found by the roadside near the tiny village of Luttelgeest in the north of the country in July. The first wolf found in the Netherlands in over 140 years walked there freely from eastern Europe, scientists said Wednesday, dismissing allegations it was a joke.

The first wolf found in the Netherlands in over 140 years walked there freely from eastern Europe, scientists said Wednesday, dismissing allegations its body had been dumped as joke.
The female wolf has mystified the Netherlands since its body was found by the roadside near the tiny village of Luttelgeest in the north of the country in July.
Some had even suggested that eastern European agricultural workers employed in the Netherlands had brought the wolf from their home country in order to confound the Dutch.
But now a bevvy of Dutch scientific and wildlife groups have come together to establish the truth.
The Dutch Wildlife Health Centre (DWHC) said in a statement after a press conference that "the wolf died from a heavy blow to the head, apparently from being hit by a car."
The wolf was in good health, around one and a half years old and had just eaten some young beaver, the DWHC said in a joint statement with the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, the Alterra research institute and WolvenInNederland (Wolves in the Netherlands).
The wolf apparently originally came from "eastern Europe, near the Russian border," Naturalis and Alterra said.
It seemingly entered the Netherlands "by natural means" and lived here for some time before being run over, WolvenInNederland and Alterra said.
However, more research needs to be done to be more precise, the groups said.
"In any case the body showed no signs of having been transported to the Netherlands. There were no signs it had been frozen.
"Furthermore there were no signs of wear on the fur, paws or claws that would suggest captivity."
Wolf droppings have also been found in the area, although they did not necessarily come from the dead wolf, the statement said.
Alterra researcher Geert Groot Bruinderink told state broadcaster NOS that "there's a big possibility" that wolves are present in the Netherlands.
"If one is found then there are more," he said.
The last sighting of a wolf in the Netherlands was in 1869, but in the southeast of the country near Germany, national news agency ANP reported.
Changing conservation policies since the 1990s have allowed wolf populations to increase in western Europe, including in France, Germany and Italy.

It is my understanding that Wolves have made a slow but steady return to Western Europe since the fall of the Iron Curtain. If they are in what once was Western Germany (and they certainly are), then there is now reason to believe they can't make it to the Netherlands.

Invasive ants: 'Stowaway' insects spreading around world
By Rebecca Morelle
Science reporter, BBC World Service
Argentine ants have spread across Europe, but there are many more alien species
The problem of invasive ants may be far worse than previously thought.
A Spanish team of scientists has found that larger than expected numbers of the insects are being unwittingly shipped around the world.
The researchers warn that many of these species are establishing colonies in their new habitats that could pose a threat to the environment, infrastructure and human health.
The research is published in the journal Royal Society Biology Letters.
Lead author Veronica Miravete, from the University of Gerona in Spain, said: "Due to their small size, most ants are transported involuntarily in containers and other boxes, together with soil, wood, ornamental plants and fruits etc, on ships or airplanes."
Tiny globetrotters
The research team looked at the numbers of exotic ants in the Netherlands, the United States and New Zealand.
Fire ant
Fire ants, with their painful stings, have been an unwelcome invasive species
They found far more of these accidental stowaways than had previously been reported.
Extrapolating from this data, they estimate that 768 exotic ant species could have been introduced around the world through trade routes.
Of these, they believe that more than 600 species could have established new colonies.
Dr Miravete said: "The number of ants arriving is very large and 85% of the introduced species are able to establish successfully. This indicates that there are many introduced species that are living around us as of yet undetected."
While not all animals that move to a new region pose a threat, some can wreak havoc - and invasive ants are some of the worst alien offenders.
In Europe, aggressive Argentine ants have been building mega-colonies, and they are out-competing local ant populations, which has sent ripples through the ecosystem.
And in the US, the invasion of South America's Rasberry crazy ants has caused a host of problems as the insects swarm inside electrical equipment.
The spread of fire ants has also been unwelcome because of their painful sting.
The researchers said that more needed to be done to halt the spread of these pests.
Dr Miravete said: "Once exotic ants establish a new region it is very difficult eradicate them.
"There are different methods to prevent alien species, such as pre-border risk assessments, black lists and quarantine inspections. But especially, we have to observe shipping routes from the regions with the highest probability of leading to introductions."

Five-foot shark swims up river in Essex countryside
Footage of a five-foot shark swimming in a river in the Essex countryside has emerged after a man spotted a fin sticking up out of the water during a walk.
By Alice Philipson
11:12AM BST 03 Sep 2013
Jody Gibbons was enjoying a stroll along the banks of the River Stour with his father Gary on Sunday when he spotted the creature.
The marketing executive said he wanted to make sure he filmed the Essex shark because he feared his friends would not believe what he had seen in the little village of Cattawade.
The sighting comes after one of the biggest sharks ever seen in British waters was caught off the Isle of Wight last week. Measuring 14 feet and weighing 550 pounds, the Threasher shark was spotted about a mile south of St Catherine's Point.
Mr Gibbons, of Lawford, Essex, spent more than an hour with his college lecturer father watching the shark, filming footage in which the shark can clearly be seen swimming past in shallow water.
Experts who have looked at the footage said they believed it could be a Starry Smooth-hound.
Mr Gibbons, 27, said: "As we walked past and saw a big fin sticking up out of the water and thought 'that must be a big fish'.
"That thought quickly became 'that's a massive fish' and then I realised it was a shark. I really could not believe what I was seeing.
"We have walked along there so many times before but never had I seen anything like that before."
He has given a "conservative" estimate that the Essex Shark was at least four-feet long but thinks it may have been as long as five foot.
He added: "It was an amazing sight to see and I knew I had to film it, otherwise my friends would not have believed a word I was saying.
"The water was quite shallow where we saw it and its fin was sticking out of the water – it was like a scene from Jaws.
"You do get people fishing here and there is a beach further up the river but it's surprising to find a shark."
Mr Gibbons, who works for Fred Olsen travel agents, informed the Environment Agency and the RSPCA of his sighting.
"We got really close to it and could see it was as long as some metal railings in the water so we had a good gauge to work out how big it was," he said.
"I really was shocked and amazed – I did not for one minute expect to see something like that in the river.
"It was just fascinating watching it swimming around."
The Smooth-hound Shark is more commonly found in coastal waters around the country and is not usually known for swimming further up rivers.
David Warner, commodore from the nearby Stour Sailing Club, said: "We have had sharks in the lowest point of the river before but not up where it was seen."
According to the Shark Trust there are 35 species of shark that can be found around the coastal waters of Britain.
I know that river! I've sailed a small boat as far up as Manningtree, and hired a row boat a couple of times up at Dedham, but my total shark count is nil!
I've often anchored a big sailing craft further downstream, near Harwich, and even allowed swimming from the boat, but again we never spied so much as a fin, but this shark must have passed that way to get upriver.

Rare triggerfish caught off Falmouth
12:00pm Saturday 7th September 2013 in News .
The dish of the day for one Falmouth chef was to be savoured this week, after he speared a rare fish not usually seen in UK waters.
Patrick Weeks, head chef at the Gylly Beach Cafe, caught a triggerfish while spear gun fishing off the reef in the bay, around 20 metres from shore.
Initially he thought it was a bream, only to take a closer look and discover his catch was rather more unusual.
Triggerfish are native to California and have only been spotted in UK waters since 2009.
They tend to only be seen at the end of a hot summer, when the water is warmer.
Patrick said: "I was quite worried it was going to be some endangered species but it's not, just rare to here. This is the rarest fish I've ever caught."
No chef could resist trying out a new ingredient and Patrick had plans to enjoy his catch at the dinner table, adding: "They're supposed to be really good eating, so I'm looking forward to it."
It proved to be a lucky day of fishing for Patrick, who also caught a bass and a John Dory on the same trip

Welsh fishing catch sparks rare sturgeon alert
Fishery officials say sea anglers need to be on the lookout for the rare sturgeon fish, after one was hooked off the Pembrokeshire coast.
The fish was caught by two boys fishing off Hobbs Point near Pembroke Dock.
It is only the second time in the last decade that a sturgeon has been spotted in UK waters - the last time also in Wales near Port Talbot in 2004.
As a protected species, officials say if other sturgeon are caught they must be released immediately.
"We are sure from the only photograph taken of the fish at Pembroke Dock that it was a sturgeon and that it may be the forerunner of others arriving here." said Steve Colclough, of the Institute of Fisheries Management (IFM).
"Where it came from is at present a mystery."
The IFM said it was releasing the picture of the fish caught in Pembrokeshire to raise awareness among the angling and commercial fishing communities.
Famed for caviar, Mr Colclough said it is illegal to keep a sturgeon and anybody catching one should return it quickly unharmed and alive to the water and then report it.
"Before putting it back they should note as many facts as possible - its length, overall condition, signs of damage or disease, the data on any tag attached to it and take a good photo.
"A yellow tag would show the fish had probably migrated from the Gironde river in France where the European sturgeon is now being bred and released."
The fish would normally stay in the Gironde until they were about 10 years old and they might then migrate to the open sea.
"If they came to Wales they would most likely be caught in estuaries and still be juvenile fish. Normally they would live 50 or 60 years and grow up to three-metres long (about 10ft)," added the IFM expert.
The IFM said if anyone did see another sturgeon off either the Welsh of English coast, it should be reported to the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.

Rare leatherback turtle chomps jellyfish in Falmouth Bay: PICTURES
12:00pm Wednesday 11th September 2013 in Falmouth/Penryn .
Wildlife watchers in Falmouth Bay were treated to a rare sight last week, a giant leatherback turtle plodding through the water hunting for jellyfish.
The turtle species is the largest in the oceans with the one spotted measuring close to four feet in diameter and six feet in length.
The pictures were taken by Laura Richardson on a trip out with AK Wildlife Cruises on board the Free Spirit on September 4 and by staff from Orca Sea Safaris onboard Seaquest.
Amanda, from AK Wildlife Cruises said: "We have had an incredible amount of wildlife over the last two weeks; we just wish the summer was longer."
Caroline from Orca said: "What an incredible sight in our waters, the sea state was like a mirror, from a distance we were expecting an encounter with a Basking Shark. To our amazement the Leatherback Turtle surfaced.
Its shell was at least two metres. It spent some time swimming gracefully alongside Seaquest of Falmouth feeding on the abundance of jellyfish. A breathtaking experience for all onboard."
The rare sighting in the wild was described as an "enormous privilege" by Matt Slater, the marine awareness officer at Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
"It is very exciting when we get a sighting.
There are only a few sighted each year and there have not been any in this area, they are normally seen off Land's End o[r] the Isles of Scilly.
"They are brought in by their food source, jelly fish, and the warmer temperatures at this time of year."
He added that they are unique in that they can raise their own body temperatures, allowing them to hunt in colder water, making them the only sea turtle off the UK coast. Leatherbacks are the largest of all living turtles and can be easily distinguished from other sea turtles by its lack of a bony shell. Instead, its carapace is covered by skin and oily flesh.

Okay troopers, on me. Drop whatever you're doing because I know you're going to want to see this.
Now, in all our time together we've seen some photos, but this, I think you'll agree, this is something special.
I'm not going to give any details because I don't want to spoil anything for you - but this is not a trick, or rude in any way, and perfectly okay to open at work.
So, brace yourself, muster up a mental drumroll, hit the following link and scroll down to the second photo.
Click here and prepare to be astounded!!!
Edit: To avoid disappointment, I should maybe point out to those who don't know me very well that the above post may contain traces of sarcasm - I've included a 'might' in that statement in order to retain an element of suspense.

Search for 'stroppy' ostrich type bird loose in the countryside near Truro
4:20pm Tuesday 22nd October 2013 in News
A search for a 'very aggressive' ostrich type bird has been stood down after a search by police, the RSPCA and its owner came to nothing this morning.
Police first received a report of the bird between Tregony and Ruanlanihorne after a report from a motorist just after 8am this morning.
Police cars were sent out from Truro to hunt for the bird, with the advice to keep it penned in if at all possible.
The report said that when approched it "got stroppy and ran off into a field".
Local vets were contacted about their ability to help deal with the creature, should it be caught, however police were told that none locally had the equipment to help.
The RSPCA were called and efforts were made to find out if any ostrich farms were in the area, and whether they were missing a bird. While one was found, it reported that none of his animals wree missing.
The onwer was eventually traced and police and the RSPCA met up in a nearby industrial estate to plan the best way forward shortly after 9am.
By 10am the owner had arriived and confirmed the creature was a Rhea, that had made good its escape from a its enclosure in Tregony
The owner told police that the animal was probably more scared of people that the other way round. And that if not recaptured it would probably starve.
Shortly after the search was called off as it was thought that the bird had "gone to ground" in the countryside.
Anyone who spots the creature should contact police on 101 quoting ref 137 of 22/10/2013.

Emerald ash borer beetle on the march across Europe
By Mark Kinver
Environment reporter, BBC News
Adult emerald ash borer (Image: SPL)
The arrival of EAB from the US has raised fears about the future of ash trees in Europe
An invasive species of beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees in North America could "spread unhindered" across Europe, researchers have warned.
The emerald ash borer, first recorded in the Moscow area in 2007, has become established in surrounding broadleaved woodlands, they observed.
The pest, which is expected to cost the US economy $10bn, has spread up to 25 miles each year, the team estimated.
The findings of the survey have been published in the journal Forestry.
The team of two UK and two Russian scientists found that the emerald ash borer (EAB) population had spread 146 miles (235km) west of Moscow and 137 miles (220 km) south of the Russian capital city.
In their paper, the team described EAB (Agrilus planipennis) as a "major threat to Fraxinus excelsior (European ash), and south of Moscow, where the beetle has become established in natural broadleaved woodlands in which F. excelsior is a major component, many of the ash trees are suffering severe dieback and mortality".
They added: "The abundance and almost continuous distribution of F. excelsior in these woodlands means that A. planipennis now has the opportunity to spread unhindered on a broad front to other countries in Europe."
Enemy within
The beetle is native to north-east China, the Korean peninsula, Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia and the Russian Far East.

In detail: Emerald ash borer

Native to eastern Asia
Scientific name: Agrilus planipennis
Adults, with metallic emerald wings, measure 7.5mm to 13.5mm, while the larvae reach up to 32mm in length
The EAB generally has a one-year life cycle but there have been recorded cases of two years
Larvae feed on the upper layers of the wood of ash trees for several weeks, creating S-shaped galleries
Signs of an infected ash tree include wilting foliage, canopy thinning and D-shaped exit holes
Only known to feed on ash trees
(Source: USDA)
The beetles' larvae feed on the surface layers of the wood of a tree, cutting off vital supplies of nutrients and water, causing branches and eventually the whole tree to die.
Although the adult beetles only live for a matter of weeks, an individual female can lay in excess of 200 eggs during their short lives but the average is estimated to be in the region of 30-60 eggs.
While native Asian ash trees appear to have co-evolved resistance to the EAB, US native ash species, such as the green ash (F. pennsylvanica) and white ash (F. americana) have no such resilience, resulting in devastating consequences.
Since the first recorded case of an EAB infestation in Michigan back in 2002, the invasive alien species has spread rapidly through 19 US states and two Canadian provinces, leaving a trail of devastation in its trail.
The researchers wrote: "The beetle has killed tens of millions of trees over the past 10 years and has raised concerns over the future of ash in North America.
"The cost to the US economy over the 10-year period from 2009 to 2019 - in terms of tree removal and replacement alone - is expected to exceed $10bn."
Whether a similar fate awaits European ash trees remained uncertain at this stage, explained co-author David Williams, an entomologist from Forest Research, the scientific arm of the UK Forestry Commission.
During the summer, Dr Williams and colleague Dr Nigel Straw spent two weeks in and around Moscow to assess the impact and spread of EAB in the area.
Dr Williams told BBC News that previous research suggested that an individual beetle would not fly more than six miles (10km) during its lifetime.
Tree showing symptoms of ash dieback (Image: PA)
Europe's ash trees are already reeling from the impact of ash dieback
Yet the team, in their assessment, found evidence that EAB was spreading by up to four times that distance.
"There is evidence that the species is riding on vehicles, which is why it is moving long distances," Dr Williams observed.
"If it is travelling long distances, it is dependent on a host tree being available for it to jump on to."
"To the south of the city, European ash is a component of the natural woodlands. Now that it is established in these woodlands, it is difficult to judge how quickly it is likely to move."
He added that it was difficult to quantify the size of the emerald ash borer population that had become established in the woodlands south of Moscow.
"Trying to find signs and symptoms of EAB damage is unbelievably difficult in the early stages," Dr Williams explained.
"It does seem to be from our observations that it [is] much harder to spot signs and symptoms of EAB damage in European ash than in North American species of ash.
"So the fact that it has reached this almost continuous forest of ash into Europe through Belarus and Ukraine is going to [make it] difficult to track its movement."
Touch wood
The UK is more than 1,500 miles from Moscow, and the Forestry Commission predicts that it is likely to be "many years" before the pest reaches these shores under its own steam.
Continue reading the main story
UK's EAB biosecurity measures
Illegal to bring ash logs with bark attached into the UK from areas that are known to have EAB
Sawn ashwood coming from nations known to have EAB must either be certified to have been sourced from a part of the country known to be clear of EAB
If it cannot be certified then the wood must be "squared", meaning that the outer layer in which EAB is found has to be removed
Wood packaging, such as crates and pallets, from EAB countries must comply with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM). Heat treatment or fumigation needs to be carried out in the exporting nation
(Source: UK Forestry Commission)
However, a spokesman added: "Regulations are in place to minimise the risk of its accidental introduction in trade and transport, and we are assessing whether more needs to be done to further reduce these risks."
He added that the UK and the EU were currently drafting Pest Risk Analyses on EAB.
In addition, tree health experts were developing a contingency plan in case there was an EAB outbreak in the UK.
The spokesman said that it would follow the same approach used to tackle an outbreak of Asian longhorned beetle in Kent in 2012.
And there was a Europe-wide network, known as Fraxback, that allowed scientists across the continent to share their research and findings.
Although its efforts were focused on tackling ash dieback, it could provide information that could be used in terms of slowing or halting the spread of EAB.
Dr Williams said that during his time in the Russian woodlands, there were signs that some trees may have a degree of resistance to EAB infestations.
"European ash is supposed to be much more closely related to Asian ash species than North American species, so that resistance that Asian ash species has to EAB could well be part of genetic make-up of European ash," he suggested.
"There was certainly some evidence within Moscow itself. We did not find many European ash but when we did find them, half were looking perfectly healthy.
"Perhaps more interestingly, when we moved south into the forests where European ash is much more common, there was a much higher degree of variability in the trees' canopy condition.
"This is the opposite of what you find in North American species of ash. When it is attacked by EAB, the dieback is so obvious it is startling.
He added: "This suggests that it is perhaps not as susceptible to the beetle as North American species."

Roaming London wallaby dies after foot operation
Wallaby at Highgate Cemetery
The wallaby was first spotted on Hampstead Heath
A wallaby that was roaming around north London before being captured on a tennis court has died.
After the animal was caught in the Dartmouth Park area last week, it was taken to a centre near Heathrow where it was found to have a broken foot.
The RSPCA said after the operation to fix it, the wallaby could not be revived from the anaesthesia.
The wallaby was first spotted on Hampstead Heath last month but was later seen in Highgate Cemetery.
In a statement, the animal charity said: "Surgery always comes with risks, especially for wallabies, but it was necessary in this instance.
"Despite this, we are of course saddened that the wallaby did not survive."

USDA funds renewable energy production
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced recently that biofuels and biomass energy projects across America have been selected for funding to continue the Barack Obama administration's support for the development of renewable fuels. Vilsack highlighted the various investments USDA made since he laid out a broad vision to spur rural revitalization through renewable energy production in a speech at the National Press Club in October 2010.
"Building an active biofuels and biomass industry in every region of the country will help to create jobs and provide economic opportunity for people who live in rural communities," said Vilsack. "The Obama administration knows these investments will benefit all of America because renewable energy provides the opportunity for a cleaner environment and greater energy security for our country."
The Biorefinery Assistance Program (Section 9003 of the 2008 farm bill) provides loan guarantees to entrepreneurs eager to take advantage of the growing opportunities in renewable energy provided by advanced biofuels. The announcement includes three projects totaling $405 million in guarantee loans.
In separate energy releases, Vilsack announced payments made to eligible producers under the Advanced Biofuels Payment Program (section 9005 of the 2008 farm bill) to support and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels and $1.6 million in grant funding for 68 feasibility studies under the Rural Energy for America Program (section 9007 of the 2008 farm bill).
For example, in Hale County, Texas, Select Milk Producers, Inc. was selected to receive a $17,500 feasibility study grant to analyze all aspects of a proposed anaerobic digester project, including evaluating the conversion of biogas to electricity, compressed natural gas for injection into natural gas pipelines, and compressed natural gas for use as a diesel fuel replacement.
As part of USDA's commitment to reduce America's dependence on imported oil by developing alternative, renewable energy sources, USDA will soon issue new rules for the Biorefinery Assistance Program, Section 9003; Repowering Assistance Program, Section 9004; and Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels Payments To Advanced Biofuel Producers, Section 9005. The new rules will provide additional opportunities for development of advanced biofuels projects. Vilsack also noted that on the same date the rule for Section 9005 is published, a Notice of Funding Availability for fiscal year 2010 funds will also be published.
This funding is an example of the many ways that USDA is helping revitalize rural economies to create opportunities for growth and prosperity, support innovative technologies, identify new markets for agricultural producers, and better utilize our nation's natural resources.

November 22, 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A lawmaker wants to reduce the penalty for possession of low levels of marijuana or harder drugs as part of a criminal justice "realignment" to reduce the strain on state prisons.
Democratic Rep. Michael Zalewski of Riverside introduced the package Wednesday after failed efforts last fall to get approval for longer sentences for carrying illegal weapons. Critics resisted the measure -- a priority of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel -- saying it would further burden crowded prisons.
Zalewski still supports the gun measure but didn't discuss it in the House Judiciary Committee. He suggested making possession of less than an ounce of marijuana a petty offense -- like a traffic ticket -- and other legislation. The committee didn't vote.

36906: Selling gold rings to men
What is the ruling on selling gold rings that are designed to be worn by men, if the seller is certain that the buyer will wear it?.
Selling gold rings to men, if the seller knows that the buyer is going to wear it or he thinks it most likely that he will wear it, it is haraam to sell it to him, because gold is forbidden to the males of this ummah. So if he knows or thinks it most likely that he will wear it, then he is helping in sin, and Allaah has forbidden us to help one another in sin and transgression, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression"
[al-Maa'idah 5:2]

text: Man Pleads Guilty to Shooting Golfer Who Hit Home from AP 22 Oct 2013 post a comment Share This: (AP) Man pleads guilty to shooting golfer who hit homeBy MARTIN GRIFFITHAssociated PressRENO, Nev.A Nevada man accused of shooting a golfer who broke a window at his home with an errant ball has pleaded guilty to a felony charge.Jeff Fleming of Reno entered the plea to battery with a deadly weapon on Thursday in Washoe County District Court. He faces from probation to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine when he's sentenced Dec. 12.The golfer was unable to find his ball and was doing a drop shot on the 16th hole of the Lakeridge Golf Course in September 2012 when Fleming approached and fired a single shot at him with a shotgun, prosecutors said. The golfer was treated for minor injuries to an arm and both legs at a hospital.Deputy District Attorney Sean Neahusan said neighbors along the golf course were stunned as it's common for stray golf balls to hit their homes."Live on a golf course and you got to expect your house to get hit every once in a while," he told The Associated Press. "This (shooting) is one of those stories that you just can't make it up."Neahusan said he's unsure what motivated the shooting and referred queries about Fleming's mental state to his lawyer, Larry Dunn.Dunn did not immediately return phone calls.Fleming, 53, has expressed remorse and shock over his reaction to the broken window, Neahusan said, adding he apparently has no felony criminal record."I'm not sure what was going on, but from what I've read and heard, it definitely sounds out of character," the prosecutor said.In return for Fleming's guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop an assault with a deadly weapon charge and to go along with the Division of Parole and Probation's recommended sentence for him.Police said the golfer and his partner ran away after the shot was fired and it wasn't until they were safe that the golfer realized he had been hit. One or two shotgun pellets had to be removed from his body at the hospital.The area around the 16th hole was evacuated after the shooting. Fleming drove to his attorney's office, where he surrendered without incident.
