|Breaking news
A candidate for the governorship must be:
- a citizen of the United States
- at least 31 years old
- a resident of Oklahoma for at least 10 years
Under Section Four in Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, the governor serves a four year term in office beginning on the second Monday in January. Also, the same Section provides that no man may hold the office of governor for more than two second terms consecutively. It intially made no reference to limits to total number of term held, prior to the 2010 midterm elections, when voters approved a lifetime term limits of two four-year terms.
Oklahoma elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For Oklahoma, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the second Monday in the January following an election. Thus, January 10, 2011 and January 12, 2015 are inaugural days.
Gubernatorial elections are held every four years. The governor of Oklahoma is elected directly by the voters of Oklahoma. After all votes are collected, the Legislature of Oklahoma shall convene in the hall of the state House of Representatives and the Speaker of the House of Representatives announce the results of the elections in the presence of a majority of each branch of the Legislature.
The persons having the highest number of votes for the office of the governor shall be declared duly elected. However, in case two or more shall have an equal and the highest number of votes for the office of governor, the Legislature shall, by joint ballot, choose one of the said persons having an equal and the highest number of votes for the office of governor.
Term limits
- See also: States with gubernatorial term limits
Oklahoma governors are restricted to 8 years in office during their lifetime.
Oklahoma Constitution, Article VI, Section 4
|No person shall be eligible to serve as Governor for a period of time in excess of eight (8) years. Such years need not be consecutive. Any years served by a person serving as Governor for less than full term to fill a vacancy in such office shall not be included in eight-year limitation set forth herein.
Oath of Office
"I, ........., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, and that I will not, knowingly, receive, directly or indirectly, any money or other valuable thing, for the performance or nonperformance of any act or duty pertaining to my office, other than the compensation allowed by law; I further swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully discharge my duties as Governor of the State of Oklahoma to the best of my ability."
Partisan composition
The chart below shows the partisan breakdown of Oklahoma State Governors from 1992-2013.
Creation and history
Before statehood in 1907, modern day Oklahoma was composed of the Oklahoma and Indian Territories. While Indian Territory remained under the semi-independence of the Indian nations, Oklahoma Territory was organized territory under the supervision of the United States Congress. Within the Territory, a tripartite government existed, including a Territorial Assembly, a Territorial Supreme Court, and a Territorial governor.
The executive branch of the territory's government was headed by the governor of Oklahoma Territory. The governor was appointed by the President of the United States to serve a four year term. Despite a set term, the governor served at the pleasure of the President. The President could remove the governor from office at any moment.
The governor was the head of the Government of the Territory. He had the power to veto legislation proposed by the Territorial Legislature and the power to appoint member to his cabinet, who in turn had to be ratified by the Legislature. The governor had the power to appoint Justices to the Territory's Supreme Court. The governor was responsible to the President on addressing issues in the territory and served as the representative as the federal government of the United States. He was also the Commander in Chief of the Territory's militia.
After the Oklahoma Constitution was written and accepted in 1907, Oklahoma and Indian Territories was joined as the State of Oklahoma. The office of Territorial governor was replaced by the governor of Oklahoma. The new office possessed many of the Territorial governor's powers and similar responsibilities. However, the governor was designed with many restrictions, limits, and Legislative and Judicial oversight. This was done under the "weak governor system" to not allow the abuse of power that had occurred under the Territorial government.
After the first governor Charles N. Haskell left office in 1911, the executive branch saw a vast reduction in its powers. Governor Haskell, consider the father of the Oklahoma Constitution, knew the office inside and out. This allowed him to amass a great deal of executive power and influence over every aspect of state government. However, in the twenty years after Haskell, the Legislature drained the governor of his powers and severely weakened the office. It was not until William H. Murray, another of the Constitution's authors, in 1935 did the governorship get back its powers.
As Oklahoma grew and the state government expanded, the governor became gradually more powerful. As more agencies were introduced, the governor's appointment power extended to them all, granting him greater indirect influence over the government. Also, initially the governor was not eligible to immediately succeed himself after being elected. It was not until 1975 did Oklahomans amend the Constitution to allow the governor to serve two consecutive terms.
In 1986, the governorship saw its greatest gain in power since the time of Haskell. With the institution of the Executive Branch Reform Act, the governor was given greater administrative power over all of Oklahoma's agencies through the Oklahoma State Cabinet. This allowed the governor's executive orders to be take effect faster and carry greater force throughout the state.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, in Oklahoma there were Democratic governors in office for 11 years while there were Republican governors in office for 11 years, including the last three. Oklahoma was under Republican trifectas for the last three years of the study period.
Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992-2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma State Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article VI, Sections 15 and 16.
In case of impeachment of the governor, or of his death, failure to qualify, resignation, removal from the State, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the office, the said office, with its compensation, shall devolve upon the Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma for the residue of the term or until the disability shall be removed.
Next in the line of succession shall be the President Pro Tem of the Senate and then the Speaker of the House.
Emergency Interim Successor
If, for any reason, the governor is unable to exercise his powers and discharge the duties of his office and the Lieutenant Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Speaker of the House are unable to act as governor, then the next official in the line of succession becomes the emergency interim successor. As the emergency interim successor to the governor, the officer may exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the governor until a new governor is elected or until the disability is removed from the governor or higher official. In no event, however, shall the emergency interim successor serve as governor.
The authority of an emergency interim successor to the governor may only act after a man-made or natural emergency or disaster has occurred in the United States. The Oklahoma Legislature, by concurrent resolution, may, at any time, terminate the authority of any emergency interim successor to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the governor.
Under the Oklahoma Constitution, the governor is also the head of government, serving as the chief executive of the Oklahoma executive branch, of the government of Oklahoma. The governor is the ex officio Commander-in-Chief of the Oklahoma National Guard when not called into federal use.
Despite being an executive branch official, the governor also possesses legislative and judicial powers. The governor's responsibilities include making yearly "State of the State" addresses to the Oklahoma Legislature, submitting
Executive Powers
The governor, according to the Oklahoma Constitution, must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." The governor is vested with "supreme executive power" as the state's "Chief Magistrate" and acts as head of the Executive department of Oklahoma, granting him the ability to issue executive orders which are binding through out the State of Oklahoma. The governor is the "conservator of the peace throughout the State," making him the chief peace officer in the state. In his position as chief peace officer, the Governor is granted command over all state and local law enforcement agencies. In the event that regular law enforcement is unable to execute the law, the Governor, acting as Commander-in-Chief of Oklahoma's militia, may call out the Oklahoma National Guard to "execute the laws, protect the public health, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion." The governor is assisted in managing the military of Oklahoma by the Adjutant General of Oklahoma, whom is appointed by the governor.
The governor has the power to commission all officers not otherwise commissioned by the law of Oklahoma and is granted the power of appointment. When any office at the state level becomes vacant for any reason, the Governor, unless otherwise provided by law, has the power to appoint a person to fill such vacancy, who shall continue in office until a successor shall have been elected or appointed according to the law of Oklahoma. This power extends to all federal representatives of Oklahoma, including United States House of Representatives and United States Senate, in which case the Governor calls for special elections to fill the remainder of the term. In the case of Senators, the Governor is empowered to immediately appoint someone to temporarily fill the vacant Senate seat until a special election can be held.
Within the Executive branch of Oklahoma government, the governor is assisted by the lieutenant governor, the secretary of state, the attorney general, the State Treasurer, among others. While all the other high level executive offices are elected directly by the people of Oklahoma, the secretary of state is not. The secretary of state is appointed by the governor with the consent of the Senate for a term of four years to run concurrently with the term of the governor. Due to the large number of State agencies, the governor is assisted in running the government through the use of the Oklahoma State Cabinet, which the governor is allowed to organize to best serve him. Through the State Cabinet, the governor can address the assembled heads of Oklahoma's executive branch departments which oversee all of Oklahoma's agencies. Each department is headed by a Secretary appointed by the Governor and is responsible for carrying out his executive orders throughout their department.
The governor is an ex officio chairman of many state commissions and committees, such as the Oklahoma Commissioners of Land Office, the Oklahoma Board of Education, and the Oklahoma Ethics Commission. While not a member, the Governor has the power to appoint all or some of the members of most of the executive commissions and state commissions with the advice and consent of the Oklahoma State Senate, such as the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma.
The governor is also responsible for preparing the government budget of Oklahoma for the next fiscal year, although the legislature must approve it.
Legislative Powers
Like the President of the United States, the Governor plays a major role in the legislative process, even though Legislative power is vested in the Oklahoma Legislature. Every bill which that is passed by both the Oklahoma State Senate and Oklahoma House of Representatives, and every resolution requiring the assent of both chambers of the legislature, must, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor. The Governor may choose to sign it or veto it and send it back to the legislature. The Governor's veto can only be overridden by a two-thirds approval vote from each house.
The Governor's power over appropriation bills is greater than that of normal bills. As with normal bills, it must be presented to the Governor for his approval. If he disapproves of any part of the bill, he may send that part of the bill back to the legislature. However, the part of which he approves becomes law. Thus, the Governor is granted the power of the line-item veto. Any item, or items, so disapproved by the Governor in this manner become void, unless the Legislature re-passes them by a two-thirds vote.
Much of the legislation dealt with by the Legislature is drafted at the initiative of the Governor or his staff. In annual and special messages to the Legislature, the Governor may propose legislation he believes is necessary. The most important of these is the annual State of the State Address. Before a joint session of the Legislature, the Governor outlines the status of the state and his legislative proposals for the upcoming year. Also, beyond the official role as Chief Legislature, the Governor is primarily in a position to influence public opinion and thereby to influence the course of legislation in the Legislature.
The Governor has the power to convoke the legislature, or the Senate only, on extraordinary occasions. At extraordinary sessions, no subject shall be acted upon, except such as the Governor may recommend for consideration. When ever a vacancy occurs within the legislature, the Governor shall issue a writ of election to fill such vacancies. In case of a disagreement between the two houses of the legislature, at a regular or special session, the Governor may adjourn them to such time as he shall deem proper, not beyond the day of the next stated meeting of the legislature. He may convoke the Legislature at or adjourn it to another place, when, in his opinion, the public safety or welfare, or the safety or health of the members require it. However, such a change or adjournment shall be concurred in by a two-thirds vote of all the members of each branch of the legislature.
Judicial Powers
The governor also plays an active role within the judicial branch of Oklahoma government. Oklahoma has a Judicial Nominating Commission consisting of thirteen members that review all potential Justices and Judges of Oklahoma's appellate courts, such as the Oklahoma Supreme Court, and review them to determine if they qualify to hold their respective positions. Of these thirteen members, the Governor appoints six without the consent of the legislature. All of the governor's appointments serve for a term of six years each; the terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of the appointments become vacant every two years.
In the event of a vacancy upon the Supreme Court or on the Court of Criminal Appeals, the Judicial Nominating Committee shall choose and submit to the Governor and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court three nominees, each of whom has previously notified the Commission in writing that he will serve as a Justice if appointed. Once three potential Justices or Judges are approved by the Judicial Nominating Committee, the Governor appoints one to serve on the Court. If the governor fails to do appoint a nominee within sixty days, the Chief Justice of Oklahoma shall appoint one of the nominees. After the Justice's or Judge's first six years in office, they must stand for retainment by the people of Oklahoma for another six year term.
The governor also possess the power to grant commutations, pardons and paroles for all offenses, except cases of impeachment, upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as he may deem proper, subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by law. However, the governor shall not have the power to grant paroles if a convict has been sentenced to death or sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. In order to grant a pardon to an individual, he must submit the name of the individual to a Parole and Pardons Board composed of five members, three of which are appointed by the governor at the beginning of his term in office to serve a term that coincides with his own. After reviewing the applicant for clemency, and a favorable vote from the majority, the Board may empower the governor to make such acts of clemency as he deems necessary.
The governor, however, shall have power to grant after conviction, reprieves, or a leave of absence not to exceed sixty days, without the action of the Board. He shall communicate to the Legislature, at each regular session, each case of reprieve, commutation, parole or pardon, granted, stating the name of the convict, the crime of which he was convicted, the date and place of conviction, and the date of commutation, pardon, parole and reprieve
Foreign Relations
The governor, as Oklahoma's head of state, serves as the chief representative of Oklahoma to the United States and to the world. All deals between Oklahoma and any foreign power (including other states and the United States) are negotiated by the governor. This is reflecting the governor's position as the spokesman for the state and the state's interests to other state and world leaders. However, the governor may not make treaties with other nations, as this is prevented by the United States Constitution.
In discharging his duty as chief spokesman, the governor may be required to testify before the United States Congress or meet with the U.S. President to address national issues that may affect the state. Also, it is the governor's responsibility to promote Oklahoma's industries to the world economy as the spokesman for industrial development within the state. Along with those responsibilities comes the role of chief promoter of Oklahoma's goods and services to foreign consumers.
The governor also plays a significant role in national politics. As the representative of Oklahoma, the governor heads, on a state level, the political party that he may belong to. In this position, the governor serves as the state's leader in selecting a party candidate to run for the office of President. Additionally, as Oklahoma's Head of State, the governor is Oklahoma to rest of the world. The governor may travel through the country to promote Oklahoma in a general interest or travel abroad to serve as proponent of America's interests.
Emergency Powers
In the event that a natural or man-made emergency occurs or is anticipated in the immediate future, the governor's gains several emergency powers to better respond to the emergency and combat the threat. Either the governor through executive order or the Oklahoma Legislature through concurrent resolution may declare a state of emergency. Once declared, the governor may exercise his additional emergency powers. To assist the governor in fulfilling his emergency power, the governor may establish such offices, boards, agencies, or positions as he may deem necessary to carry his orders into effect.
When carrying out the functions of his emergency powers, the governor is immune from civilly liable for any loss or injury resulting from any decision, determination, order or action in the performance of his assigned duties and responsibilities during a stated emergency. However, this immunity does not apply when such loss or injury is caused by the gross negligence, or willfully and unnecessarily act by the governor.
The governor, through executive order, or the legislature, through concurrent resolution, may declare an end to the state of emergency and suspend the governor's emergency powers.
In non-emergency situations, the governor is responsible for preparing and annually updating a comprehensive plan and program for emergency management of the state to be known as the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The EOP serves as a guide for the governor to following in protecting the state and its citizens during any emergency. The EOP is required to be integrated into and coordinated with the plans of the federal government and of other states to the fullest possible extent, and to coordinate the preparation of plans and programs for emergency management by the political subdivisions of the state.
To prepare for all potential emergencies, the governor may procure supplies and equipment in accordance with the EOP. These supplies may be used to institute emergency management training and public information programs. In taking preparatory steps, the governor may active any or all parts of the emergency management organization in advance to ensure adequate training and equipment to respond in times of need.
In addition to the prevention measures established by the state and local emergency management plans, the governor shall consider on a continuing basis steps that could be taken to mitigate the harmful consequences of emergencies to the state. At the governor's direction, state agencies charged with responsibilities involved in emergency management shall make studies of matters related to potential responses for limiting the effects of emergencies. The governor, from time to time, shall make such recommendations to the Legislature, to political subdivisions and to other appropriate public and private entities as may facilitate measures to prevent or lessen the effects of emergencies.
Upon activating the EOP, the governor assumes direct regulatory control over all essential resources of the state. It will then be the responsibility of the governor to determine the priorities of such resources and allocate them as the governor may deem necessary. These resources include, but are not limited to, food, manpower, health and health manpower, water, transportation, economic stabilization, electric power, petroleum, gas, and solid fuel, industrial production, construction and housing.
In order to ensuring security, the governor gains vast police power. To enforce all laws, rules and regulations relating to emergency management, the governor assumes direct operational control of any or all emergency management forces of the state, including the Oklahoma National Guard, state police agencies, as well as county sheriff's and local police departments. These emergency police powers extend to providing for the evacuation of all or part of the state's population from any affected or threatened area or areas within the state, regulating the conduct of civilians and the movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic, and regulating public meetings and gatherings. The governor is responsible for providing for the care of all those regulated by his orders or forced to evacuate.
During a state of emergency, the governor is authorized to utilize the services, equipment, supplies and facilities of all departments, offices and agencies of the state to the maximum extent practicable. All state, county, and local officers and personnel must cooperate with the governor in emergency management upon his direction. Willful failure to obey any order, rule or regulation issued by the governor in this manner may be removed from office by the governor after the officer has had the charges serviced to them and an opportunity to defend themselves. Pending the presentation of charges, the Governor may suspend such officers for a period not to exceed thirty days. Any vacancy resulting from removal or suspension shall be filled by the governor until it is filled as provided by state law.
In managing the emergency, the governor is fully authorized to cooperate with the federal government, with other states, and with private agencies in all matters pertaining to the emergency management of the state and of the nation.

For 2012, ISM has released the new Adamo Prologue saddle. The prologue builds on the success of the Podium and Breakaway. ISM kept the longer length and narrow hamstring section to allow for more forward and rearward body movement. ISM also integrated the sloped front arms to cut down on superficial chaffing on the inner thigh. The biggest change is the added foam and gel padding to soften the ride.

Comments about ISM Prologue Saddle:
I purchased this saddle to replace a Specialized Body Geometry saddle, and so far have been happy with the change. I was having issues with saddle sore on rides longer than 40 miles, and those are now gone. I do have to say that it was rough during the first few rides after installing this saddle, some saddle sore and some adjustments until I got it in the correct posistion.

Comments about ISM Prologue Saddle:
I installed this saddle in my mtb and I love it. It makes a big difference from the factory one that came with my full suspension. It feels a little different at first since the separation between your legs is bigger but by the 2nd or 3rd ride you cant tell anymore and you will feel no pressure in the growing area. In my opinion this one is the best for a mtb from the ISM line. The material seems durable and good quality. I got the white one and its super nice.

NEW ORLEANS - It's hard to forget the images of New Orleans under water more than seven years ago, but officials hope hosting a Super Bowl will show people how far the city has come after Hurricane Katrina.
The crowd continued to grow on Bourbon Street Thursday night as Super Bowl XLVII approaches.
'We're having such a good time. Super Bowl is it baby! Let's have an excellent, excellent time!' cheered Dallas resident 'Crazy' Ray.
But even as visitors party in the streets, a recent CBS News poll shows more than half of Americans believe New Orleans has a ways to go in its recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
'What we see here is only one part of the city. It's not all that it is. I imagine people who are still suffering and trying to recover and who have lost their houses are not necessarily celebrating in the streets tonight. I hope that some of what we do and some of the money we put in the economy here is going to help them,' said Mary Blais, a visitor from New Brunswick, Canada.
According to the poll, 51 percent of Americans don't believe New Orleans has mostly recovered from Hurricane Katrina, compared to 36 percent who believe that it has.
Still, 71 percent of those polled are optimistic about the city's future.
The telephone poll of more than 1,050 adults was conducted between Jan. 24 and Jan. 27.
'My sense is if that poll was taken next week or if it's taken a week after the Super Bowl, those numbers would be much higher,' said Mark Romig, public relations co-chair for the Super Bowl Host Committee.
'The reality is, certainly there's always more work to do, but for the NFL to have put the Super Bowl here in the city of New Orleans speaks legions about whether the city has recovered enough to host the major event in the United States.'
Indeed, there are more restaurants and hotel rooms in New Orleans post-Katrina. There's better storm protection than ever before. And the city continues to sink billions of local, state, and federal dollars into new construction.
But some hard-hit neighborhoods, like the Lower Ninth Ward, still have dozens of blighted homes, no grocery store and just one school.
'The mayor and others have said, yes, the Lower Ninth Ward will be the beacon for recovery. We're saying, when? When is it going to happen?' said Vanessa Gueringer, community activist and vice president of A Community Voice.
Officials say the city is working on it. They're planning to break ground soon on a new fire station and community center. They're also building a new high school.
Still, they admit there's a lot of work to be done.
'We're doing everything we can from the city's perspective to make sure the entire city recovers as quickly as possible,' said city spokesman Ryan Berni.
Something else the poll reveals? Sixty-four percent of Americans have a good image of New Orleans. Still, that's down from 72 percent in 2010.

Genetics Informatics Trial (GIFT) of Warfarin to Prevent DVT

- How to Read a Study Record
On September 15, 2008, Acting Surgeon General Steven Galson, MD, MPH noted that blood clots contribute to the death of at least 100,000 Americans each year. Because many of these deaths occur suddenly where treatment is impossible, the best treatment is prevention. In this grant, researchers in Missouri, New York, Utah, Illinois, and Texas develop strategies to improve the safety and effectiveness of clot prevention by customizing blood thinners to each person's genetic and clinical profile. They hypothesize that the use of genetics to guide warfarin therapy will reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) postoperatively. They further hypothesize that using a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.8 is non-inferior to using a target INR of 2.5 in clot prevention.

|Introduction | Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro lens performance | Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro versus competition | Conclusion
Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro Canon mounted on Canon 7D vs Pentax smc DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited mounted on Pentax K-5 vs Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G mounted on Nikon D7000 :
Tokina is not the only manufacturer to produce a unique prime standard macro lens. Pentax has the nearly identical, at least in specifications, smc DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited. Nikon also competes with its AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G.
But the Tokina AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro for Canon and Nikon rises above the competition for its:
Nikon users deciding between Tokina 35mm f/2.8 Macro for Nikon and the Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G can note the latter is better at:
Photographers considering an investment in a Pentax camera and pool of lenses will be happy to know the smc DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited ran mostly even with the image quality of Tokina's 35mm f/2.8 macro and Nikon's 40mm f/2.8 micro. The Pentax lens' biggest advantage is its size, measuring about 4.5 centimeters in length and weighing a feather-like 215 grams, makes it an ideal piece of optics for photographers who are looking to lighten the load of their camera bags.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Are you a Canon or Nikon photographer looking for a versatile prime standard lens? The Tokina's AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro might be the lens for you. It gives users myriad shooting options: you can take portraits, photograph detail oriented macro pictures, or snap landscape images. DxOMark takes a look at how the lens performs on select Canon and Nikon cameras, and how it stacks up against rivals.

Shimlas got their Varsity Cup campaign back on track with an comfortable 39-22 win over Tuks in Bloemfontein.
The Free State students enjoyed the bulk of the possession and took their opportunities when they were presented. Tuks had the better of the scrums but failed to take advantage of the solid platform up front and in the end Shimlas ran out deserved winners in front of their home crowd.
Neil Jacobs opened the scoring for Shimlas when he shrugged off a defender, broke the line and had enough pace to go all the way and dot down under the posts to set up an easy conversion which he took himself.
Just over a minute later and big lock Frans Le Grange grabbed the host's second try after some good work by winger Elwyn Fransman and Jacobs added the extras as Shimlas ran out to a 14-0 lead.
Tuks hit back through two Juan-Claude Roos penalties, but their discipline let them down as they gave away a penalty right in front of the posts and Jacobs made no mistake.
Roos kept his side in touching distance of Shimlas with a huge Frans Styen-like penalty from the half way line.
Shimlas were then awarded a penalty five metres out from the tryline with just under 10 minutes left in the half and their captain Jaco Colyn did brilliantly to take a quick tap and slip through a gap in the Tukkies defence for his sides' third try of the game. After the buzzer, Colyn added a neat drop goal and Shimlas went into the break with a commanding 27-9 lead.
The hosts came out in the second half determined to get the bonus point try early on, and after a good period of sustained pressure, were rewarded when the ball was spread wide to Wouter Stieger who crossed the line in style for his sides' fourth of the evening.
Roos successfully slotted his fourth and fifth penalty in quick succession with just under 20 minutes left in the game, but by this time it was only tries that would get Tukkies back in the encounter.
Shimlas put the result beyond any doubt when replacement Hans Grobler finished off a swift attack which was set up by the impressive Marlin Ruiters who burst through a couple of tackles and recycled well to keep the attack alive.
Winger Luvuyo Mhlobiso grabbed a consolation try for the visitors through a brilliant piece of individual play, but it was all too late as the boys from Bloem grabbed the five points.

Hands down THE hottest and warmest boots I've owned! I hate winter, but I find myself looking foward to the snow just to be able to wear 'em. I hate shoveling my driveway, but now I put on my awesome Sorels and look great while I clear the snow!
Love these boots!! Wishing it weren't July so I can wear them. Tried them with skinny jeans and they are perfect. I have slim calfs and the lacing works great at adjusting the shaft.
I did get these boots one size larger so i could just slip them on and go! Love them and would highly recommend then to all of you divas out there that want to look good and be comfortable!
They fit like a glove. Disagree with the other reviewer that they feel bad, they are the most comfortable boot I have ever owned and I own a lot of boots. They are warm without being too hot, they do look awesome and they grip the snow like a snow cat. Very pleased!!!
These boots look amazing and feel well made (materials-wise): if you're looking for a fashionable boot that doesn't make you look like you have cankles, this is it. Unfortunately, these boots are also very uncomfortable. As another reviewer has pointed out, the seam where the leather meets the rubber right over the top of the foot digs into your foot. This is not very comfortable. Overall, I would suggest trying these out and seeing if they fit you. If they do: big score. If not, I'd try out the Joan of Arctic line.
I was so excited to get these boots. I had tried on other Sorel (specifically the Joan of Arctic style) and loved the fit. Ordered these, but when they arrived they were horribly uncomfortable. The seam where the front rubber meets the top of the boot (right at the top of your foot) was quite pronounced and really hurt my foot -- I couldn't imagine spending any length of time standing in them, let alone walking in them. Too bad since they really are great looking!
I had previously purchased the Sorel Joan of Arc boots.The Cate the Great are a much better fit, with all the same great features of style and warmth without being so clunky and hard to walk in.You can lace them much tigher so there is not slipping in the heel....I bought a 6.5 which is my regular size):

A variety of thermostats are available for a wide range of budgets. For programmable thermostats, look for an Energy Star model to make sure you are maximizing energy savings. Also, if you are replacing an old thermostat, it probably contains mercury and cannot simply be thrown in the trash. Find a mercury recycling program in your area.

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Chuck Noll, the legendary leader of the vaunted Steel Curtain, has died at the age of 82.
Noll, the only coach in NFL history to win four Super Bowl titles, had fought complications with Alzheimer's, including a heart condition. He died in his sleep on Friday night at his home in Sewickley, PA.
Noll began his coaching career as a defensive assistant with the LA/San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Colts before taking the helm in Pittsburgh.
He won back-to-back titles twice, the first pair coming in the 1974-75 seasons, then again in the 1978-79 seasons.
Noll was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993 after compiling a career record of 209-156-1, including the postseason.

It sounds to me like you are confusing two separate issues here:
One sort of question concerns MORAL OBLIGATIONS. That type of question is typified by: What obligations do I have and in virtue of what do I have them? Do I have the obligation to not boil babies? In virtue of what do I have this obligation?
Another type of question concerns MORAL MOTIVATION. This sort of question is as follows: Why should I be moral? Why should I do the right thing? Why should I not boil babies if I want to?
Questions about motivation are questions about what moves me to act. I may be a very callous individual who is totally unmoved by the plight of others. If so, the fact that someone is suffering from something that I do is not going to MOTIVATE me to change my behavior. Or I may be a very empathetic person who, at the mere thought that someone is suffering, rushes into action. We can think of motivation in terms of the carrot and the stick. When we ask about motivation we are asking, in essence, what rewards or punishments are sufficient and/or necessary to get people to act.
It is vitally important that we recognize that the OBLIGATION question and the MOTIVATION question are separate questions. Having answers to questions about moral obligations does NOT entail having answers to questions about moral motivation. One simple reason for this is that different people are motivated by different things. For some people, knowing that they are obligated to do something is enough to motivate them; others could care less about their obligations.
So, the question, "Why should one sacrifice their own pleasure for the pleasure of another?" is ambiguous between the question of whether I have an OBLIGATION to sacrifice my own pleasure and the question of what might MOTIVATE me to do so.
As I see it, the question that we have been debating for some time is the OBLIGATION question: What obligations do I have in a godless universe and in virtue of what do I have them? But this is a very different question from the MOTIVATION question: Why should I act morally in a godless universe (why should I fulfill my obligations)? This latter question often means something like: Why should I care about morality if there is no god to judge me? But this is a very different issue from the issue of whether there are obligations in a godless universe to begin with.

A miner in Marshall County died Friday afternoon, Oct. 4, 2013, after an accident that resulted in a head injury, according to a report in the Charleston Daily Mail newspaper.
The West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training said the accident happened at the CONSOL Energy McElroy Mine in Marshall County just before 1 p.m., the newspaper's report said.
According to a preliminary report from the office, the miner suffered a head injury while underground and died on the way to the hospital, the report went on to say.
"It is a terrible tragedy when the dangers that can accompany mining result in the loss of life," Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said in an emailed statement to the media Friday afternoon. "This miner and his family remain in the prayers and thoughts of Joanne and I, just as they surely do with all West Virginians."
Inspectors from the WVOMHS&T are at the mine and have started their investigation.
It is West Virginia's sixth mining-related accident of 2013.

text: The Amiga CD32 wiki last edited by PottsyNZ on 09/12/14 03:28AM View full history The Amiga CD32 was released in September 1993, and it was the first 32-bit cd-rom console to be released in Europe and Canada. Although the plans for releasing it in the US never happened. The Amiga had similar specs as the Amiga 1200 and had the possibility to add mouse, keyboard, etc. It also had a covered expansion slot intended to accomodate a VideoCD playback module. This was eventually utilized by third parties to create other expansion modules that allowed the CD32 to act as a fully capable Amiga computer, first by adding missing ports and later providing for the ability to add a hard drive, memory and upgrade the CPU. The console lasted only for approximately seven months due to component supply issues and therefore it didn't have the sales impact to keep the console alive.However, the console was kept alive in other forms: In the late 1990s to early 2000s, slot machine manufacturer StarGames utilized a stripped down CD32 motherboard in many of their slot machines and in the mid to late 1990s, some vehicle registries in Canada utilized CD32 systems for interactive multimedia testing for drivers license applications.The CD32 also had a unique piece of hardware called the Akiko chip that was added specifically to enable the console to more easily support "Doom clones". It provided acceleration for converting the PC's chunky pixel format (which was better suited to the routines that generated the graphics in Doom-like games) to the Amiga's planar pixel format.Technical SpecificationsCPU: Motorola 68EC020 @ 14.3 MHz Memory: 2MB Amiga Chip RAM Video: Advanced Graphics Architecture Audio: Paula RCA stereo

Minutes of meeting held on 7th June 1939 at 69 Great Russell Street.
Present: Professor J.R. Marrack (Chairman), Mr. C.H. Norman, Mr. J. Coyne, Dr. J. Wright, Mrs. I. Brown, Mrs. L. Manning, Dr. H.B. Morgan, Dr. J.A. Gillison, Dr. S.W. Jeger, Mr. R. Calder, Mr. G. Jeger.
Apologies for absence were received from Messrs. Blewitt and Le Gros Clark and the Countess of Huntingdon.
1) Minutes of previous meeting held on the 24th May were confirmed and signed, after the names of Miss Adam and Mr. Blewitt had been added to those who had been present.
2) Matters arising therefrom:
a) Disposal of the instruments returned from Spain. The 14 cases had arrived at London Docks but were not yet released by the Customs Authorities, who were demanding proof of their British origin. Discussions were proceeding.
b) Professor Marrack reported that he and Mrs. Manning had seen Dr. Quemada. He was quite willing to go to Mexico if he could obtain some assurance that the work he would do there would be in accordance with his qualifications. Arrangements had been made for him to see the Spanish ex-Ambassador to London, and the matter was being taken up with the British Committee for Refugees from Spain.
c) Medicaments for the S.S. " Sinaia ". The C.S.I. had reported that they had been able to fulfil almost the whole order. This had meant keeping the laboratories and suppliers working day and night, and they warned us that this would not be possible again. The bills for the goods purchased had arrived. They amounted to £168 which included about £68 expended on equipment (sets of instruments etc.) for the 15 Spanish doctors. In addition we would be receiving bills for the medical material bought by Dr. Russell in the South of France when she feared that the C.S.I. would not be able to fulfil the requirements. It was estimated that this would amount to about £70.
Mrs. Brown stated that she had heard from the officials on the boat that they were very satisfied with the medical material provided.
d) The Film of the Camps. The C.S.I. after discussion had agreed to reduce the price of the English rights of this film to the equivalent of £80. The N.J.C. had accordingly asked us to procure this and to get a copy of the film sent over. They were also spending about £200 on a supplementary film dealing with the departure of the S.S. " Sinaia " etc., and asked whether we could contribute towards the cost of these two films. It was decided to take no action.
e) An assurance had been received from the Foreign Office that the British Consuls in Valencia and Burgos would do everything possible to ensure the safety of Miss Madge Addy. They stated however that there was complete chaos in Spain, with the result that official documents or sanction to leave were difficult to obtain.
f) The Organising Secretary reported that he had had a talk with Dr. Duran on Friday June 2nd. It appears that he is not in financial need; he states that he has sufficient to live on for the next 3 weeks, in addition to which he is expecting a payment of £10 for some work he has done. He promised to inform us when this was exhausted.

Mobile, telework create potential savings, increase productivity at agencies
Friday - 11/22/2013, 3:07pm EST
Few areas show more clearly how emerging technologies are changing the federal office than telework. Wireless access, portable devices and data storage in the cloud are allowing more feds the opportunity to do their jobs from remote locations.
But with fewer feds needing office space, agencies have to come up with new strategies to maintain the security of their systems and manage their offsite workforce, while keeping an eye on their IT budgets.
Brian McGrath, chief information officer at the U.S. Census Bureau, told the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Thursday his agency embarked on an aggressive campaign to rationalize its field organization, cutting its regional offices from 12 to six.
"Key to the success of that initiative was obviously technology and our ability to support employees doing vital work for the bureau using personally owned equipment and out of their homes," he said. "We went forward with a virtual desktop infrastructure [VDI] solution from our private cloud that has allowed at this point 5,000 employees to work from their home, not requiring equipment from the government and not requiring formal office space to do that job."
McGrath spoke about the changes going on at the Census Bureau as part of Federal News Radio's special series, A New Era in Technology.
Census employees working remotely can access all of the data and systems they need to do their jobs. These employees are a combination of supervisory staff in the field organization and those employees taking part in Census' telework initiative at its headquarters in Suitland, Md., and other locations across the country.
"We have aggressively embraced telework," McGrath said. "Again, through VDI, we're allowing our vital employees to access our systems and data from home so that they can maximize their efficiency."
To make that happen, the bureau conducted an extensive IT security evaluation.
"Paramount to us is to ensure that access to the systems that we have and the data that we capture is secure and cannot be compromised in any way," McGrath said. "So, security was a key ingrediant to the project."
Census' approach to security is focusing on the access layer rather than the endpoint.
"At the point where you access our infrastructure and systems, we've baked a very robust security model in as well as ensuring that the data in transit is secure," he said. "So, really, embracing mobility, we're allowing folks to use those devices which they are most comfortable and confident in using; therefore, we believe that improves productivity, but at the same time, certainly not sacrificing security."
Making telework work for employees and the agency
McGrath admitted it was a big concern for him to support telework, but to do so in a way that made sense from a budgetary perspective.
"If we took a traditional model of having to supply tens of thousands of laptops and building out all the infrastructure to support that endpoint, it would've been a significant cost to the Bureau," he said. "And in the end, it would've minimized the number of employees who had the opportunity to telework. So, the strategy was to try to leverage new and emerging technology, maximize the opportunity for telework, but again, not compromising our security posture."
As mobile technology becomes more prevalent, people become more comfortable using their own devices. Agencies can take advantage of that and saving money by facilitating a "bring-your-own-device" strategy.
"We also find that the adoption model is much more positive if you're using a device that you use day-in and day-out, and a device that you're very comfortable with," McGrath said. "So rather than us deploying a device and then having the requirement to provide exhaustive training on how to use a device and access the systems, if we can leverage the device that an employee already owns and is already comfortable with and we only have to train them on accessing the systems and our policies and procedures for ensuring that our data remains secure, we see that that has a positive impact on productivity."
Despite its benefits, an office strategy that takes advantage of mobile, wireless technology, virtualization and cloud does present new challenges for an agency. McGrath said the delivery
"Now that we're working in a highly telework environment, it's a much different model, where traditional meetings where everyone would be sitting in the room looking at each other, that's not where we are today and it's not where we're headed," McGrath said. "So, it does require some adjustment and how we engage and function as an organization. But, I think in the long run, having that opportunity to support telework and mobility will dramatically increase our productivity."

Keo.co.za brings you news from South Africa's Super Rugby franchises.
Daniel cops short ban – Keegan Daniel has received a two-week ban for a dangerous tackle during the Sharks' 34-16 win over the Brumbies last weekend.
The flanker was cited for his late charge on Brumbies inside centre Christian Lealiifano in Durban last Saturday and was found guilty at his disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Daniel's ban will be lifted on 21 May, which means he will only miss one match against the Bulls in the next fortnight as the Sharks have a bye this weekend.
