Shahrizat told the court it was not until 2007 that she became certain that her husband was involved in the project.
KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil was today grilled over her testimony that she was not aware of her husbandŌĆÖs role in the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) project.
Shahrizat told the court it was not until 2007 that she became certain that her husband was involved in the project.
ŌĆ£In 2007, my husband said he wanted our children [Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh and Wan Shahinur Izanna Salleh] to come back from abroad and work on this project,ŌĆØ Shahrizat told the court.
ŌĆ£Only then I knew what was happening for certain.ŌĆØ
Shahrizat is suing PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli and PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin for RM100 million over comments that allegedly implicated her in the National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFCorp) debacle.
ShahrizatŌĆÖs replies to the defendantsŌĆÖ lawyer, Ranjit Singh, implied that she did know that her son Wan Shahinur Izran, who lived with her, had become one of NFCorpŌĆÖs directors in 2006.
When Ranjit noted that this was unusual, Shahrizat responded by saying members of her family lived independent lives.
She said she had ŌĆ£no ideaŌĆØ where her son drove to work every day or what he worked asŌĆØ.
ŌĆ£He was trying out a few business ventures,ŌĆØ she said to questions from Ranjit.
She said she knew of her sonŌĆÖs involvement in cattle breeding only when her husband told her of it, about a year after Wan Shahinur Izran Salleh's appointment as a NFCorp director.
On Monday, Shahrizat told the court she felt the statements made by Rafizi and Zuraida were ŌĆ£not only offensive and defamatory, but they are outright insulting.ŌĆØ She referred to RafiziŌĆÖs call on her to show remorse and his urging her to apologise to the public.
Ranjit today asked her whether she felt RafiziŌĆÖs statements were worse than the statements she had made about him.
ŌĆ£You said to Rafizi that he is an ŌĆśanak derhakaŌĆÖ [unfilial son], that he 'menjual agama' (has sold his religion) and ŌĆśhancur bangsaŌĆÖ (destroyed his race),ŌĆØ said Ranjit.
ŌĆ£Which is more heinous? What my client was alleged to have said, or your statement?ŌĆØ
Shahrizat searched for words to respond to Ranjit, and finally said: ŌĆ£His statement was more heinous.ŌĆØ
The hearing continues on Sept 18.

Fresh on the heels of a winter storm that produced significant snowfall from northern Maryland, across Pennsylvania, and over to New Jersey and New York City, winter storm watches are already posted for many locations in anticipation of a new storm that will bring another round of heavy snow and ice to these same locations by Wednesday. On the southern periphery of the storm, freezing rain will be more of a concern than snowfall. This includes areas to the north and west of Baltimore and Washington, northern Maryland, and southern Pennsylvania. As low pressure moves northeast out of the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday night and Wednesday, warmer air will rise over cold air at the surface and produce widespread freezing rain. The current thinking is that freezing rain may accumulate up to one-quarter inch. Areas to the south and east of Washington and Baltimore may experience a brief period of sleet and/or freezing rain with a light glaze of ice before the precipitation changes to rain on Wednesday as a southerly flow develops around the center of low pressure. Farther to the north, precipitation will fall into much colder air and will take the form of snow across central and northern Pennsylvania where at least 4 to 8 inches (with locally higher amounts) may accumulate by Wednesday evening. New York City is currently under a Winter Storm Watch for 4 to 8 inches of snow and up to one-half inch of ice. Although no advisories have been posted for central or southern New Jersey as of 9 p.m. this evening, these areas may also be impacted by the storm. Here is a current list of cities in the Middle Atlantic states and what they can expect from this next in a series of winter storms:
New York City: 4 to 8 inches of snow/ up to 1/2" ice...Winter Storm Watch in posted
Scranton, PA: 6 to 10 inches of snow/ 1/10" ice...Winter Storm Watch posted
Harrisburg, PA: 4 to 8 inches of snow/ up to 1/2" ice...Winter Storm Watch posted
York, PA: 3 to 6 inches of snow/ up to 1/2" ice. Winter Storm Watch posted
Northern Maryland: 1 to 2 inches of snow/ up to 1/4" ice...Winter Storm Watch posted
North & west suburbs of Baltimore and Washington: 1" snow and sleet/ up to 1/4" ice...Winter Storm Watch posted
Baltimore, MD: Up to 1" of sleet accumulation/ up to 1/4" of ice...Winter Storm Watch posted
Washington, DC: Light sleet and a light glaze of ice, then plain rain. No current advisories (Winter Weather Advisory may be posted at some point.)
Annapolis, MD: Light sleet and a light glaze of ice due to freezing rain, then plain rain...No current advisories (Winter Weather Advisory may be issued at some point.)

London - While it's not clear if a bloke can cop a buzz drinking Britain's recycled, purified water, cocaine in its metabolized form was discovered in the country's drinking water during a scientific analysis reported on Sunday.
Scientists from the Drinking Water Inspectorate looking for pharmaceutical compounds in the country's drinking water discovered traces of cocaine in public water supplies, despite it being treated and purified, according to reports.
Benzoylecginine, metabolized cocaine, was detected by scientists in multiple samples of drinking water; the compound is the same one used to flag users in drug tests.
No doubt equally troubling to Brits, caffeine, commonly found in coffee, was runner-up in chemical agents discovered in their recycled water. While caffeine is an ingredient of ibuprofen, a common pain reliever, some speculate coffee, the favored pick-me-up drink of Americans, is being consumed in quantities competitive with tea. Drinking Tea, Colonial tea party notwithstanding, is a bit of a national pastime in Britain.
Another interesting find was a chemical compound used to treat epilepsy. It remains somewhat of a mystery why such a chemical agent would show up in the tests. Although other compounds were found, none gauged at dangerous levels in water supplies.
Cocaine use has greatly increased in the UK which has driven the cost down. "[Britain has] the near highest level of cocaine use in Western Europe," Steve Rolles, senior policy analyst at Transform Drug Policy Foundation, told The Sunday Times. "It has also been getting cheaper and cheaper at the same time as its use has been going up."
Nearly 700,000 people aged 16 to 59 are estimated to take cocaine every year in Britain, according to the Independent.
While pharmaceutical compounds consistent with prescription drugs were found in a comprehensive 2008 analysis of drinking water supplies in the U.S., no traces of cocaine were discovered, according to a scientific journal report.

No, cause you already have that patch. I don't know if there is going to be a second one right after like there was with WA (there we actually had to patch WA right after installing the game as well, cause something was so buggy, they fixed it right away). Normally the patch that comes with the EP on the DVD is the one that everyone gets a day or two later.
So far there has always been a second patch 2-4 weeks later.

@Jadeleine: I would say mostly hacks/ mods will be a problem. Hair and eyes not so much. You will need to try it out though. My suggestion: Start a new game without any cc (don't start your old one or all will be replaced) and then if everything is fine, start putting it back.

Secrets of Success
Yesterday,today, & tomarow,
Monday, March 21, 2011
To all the people in the world who have ever stood in front of there mirror and wished for some one else's -------- fill in the blank this blog is for you. Today I was in a clothing store with my little girl helping her try on pants, as she pulled on pair after pair of cute little jeans, she was chatting to her self but I could not realy hear what she was saying because I was talking on my cell phone. I smiled and nodded at a pairs of pants that looked good on her then almost dropped the phone in shock at what I heard my beautiful baby girl mutter under her breath... "These pants are so cute to bad they make me look so FAT!" she said with a sigh What?? She is 6 and weighs 55lbs soaking wet how can she already believe this about herself?
Then the truth hit me like a tone of bricks, I am the culprit, I am to blame for planting these negative patterns in my child head. She has sat on my bed and listened as I try on outfits and talk about my "thunder thighs" she has watched me step on the scale and wither in horror at any gains or losses, she has bean there to witness me berate and belittle myself as I evaluate an ill fitting bathing suit or the muffing top on my "skinny jeans" so why am I so surprised. Isn't this the same girl who puts on my shoes and carry's my purse around, who dresses up in my old dresses and plays house, & mimics me on my cell phone or driving my car? Of course she is going to fallow my lead just as I fallowed my mothers.
So what can I do? I could waist time blaming my mothers bad example I guess but that is yesterdays news, I could try to talk her & try to make her stop saying things like " I'm fat" but that's just putting a band-ad on tomorrows problems. No I am going to start today to change how I talk to me, how I see me and the exampled I put in front of my little girl so that she will never have to battle low self esteem, so that she will know how to positive self talk and see herself as the beautiful person she is no matter what size she ends up being. That is how I can change tomorrow.

MILWAUKEE - "It's the character of the group... Tonight, we were the aggressive team, we were the ones forechecking hard, finishing our checks... For the most part our competitive level was really high."
Coach Dean Evason was extremely pleased with his teams 2-1 win over the Rockford IceHogs Friday night, seeing Admirals goals from Jani Lajunen and Taylor Beck and a 33 save performance from starting goaltender Jeremy Smith.
This is the second time this week the two teams have played one another, and fifth time the teams have met this season. The series is 3-2 in Milwaukee's favor thus far, but the two teams will battle seven more times during the 2012-2013 regular season.
The Admirals lit the lamp early in the opening period with tally that was a first for several players. The first period goal was the first assist of the year for Charles-Olivier Roussel (as well as first point), and first goal of the season for Jani Lajunen. Roussel fired a wrister from the top of the near circle, which was then deflected in past Rockford goaltender Carter Hutton by Lajunen.
Forward Michael Latta tangled with Rockford's Ryan Stanton midway through the first. The ten minutes accrued in the fight was equal to what both teams served in Wednesday nights uncharacteristically quiet 3-1 loss against the IceHogs. In the three games the teams played prior to Wednesday night, they averaged 26 PIMs per contest
With just :01 left on a Chris Mueller interference call, Brandon Bollig backhanded in a Adam Clendening slap shot attempt to tie the game at one-a-piece.
Defenseman Jon Blum was called on a double-minor for high-sticking to give Rockford a 4:00 power-play midway through the second period, but it was Milwaukee that had the upper hand during the man-advantage. Admirals goaltender Jeremy Smith absolutely shined on the penalty kill, robbing the IceHogs repeatedly on multiple scoring chances. When asked about Smith's solid performance and how it differs from his inconsistant performance this season, coach Dean Evason was quick to praise his starting netminder:
"I have no idea, he's a goalie, but he's got good character. He works, he competes, and even when he doesn't have his best stuff he's still battling in there and that's what you want."
Michael Latta found himself in the midst of a second melee at the halfway mark of the second period, pitting him against fellow team penalty minute leader Brandon Bollig. Just feet away, the normally-reserved Chris Mueller squared off against defenseman Klas Dalhbeck. That tangle didn't last long, as Mueller knocked Dalhbeck off his skates just seconds in. In all, the teams were issued three fighting majors a piece, which was a far cry from Wednesday nights quiet game. Michael Latta saw the change in his team and was positive on how the team responded to Wednesday's performance.
"We were hungry. We lost the last game. We weren't happy with our effort, so sometimes you just have to compete. Fights happen, it's hockey... sometimes you just have to drop the gloves."
In total, the Admirals put 19 shots on Hutton in the second frame alone. Although Hutton made stops on every attempt, Milwaukee looked as if they were on the power-play most of the period. It was a solid performance on all fronts from the home team.
After almost 40 minutes of scoreless hockey, Taylor Beck gave the Admirals a one-goal advantage after scoring on a rebound at the 9:50 mark of the third period. Victor Bartley fired one of his patented slap shots from above the far circle, and the rebounded shot from Beck deflected off a Rockford player to give Milwaukee what would ultimately be the game-winning goal.
The Ads now have five days off, and return to home ice Thursday night for back-to-back games against the Peoria Rivermen.
Additional Game Day Notes:
The Admirals recalled forward Josh Shalla from the ECHL affiliate Cincinnati Cyclones Thursday afternoon, and appeared in tonight's game against the IceHogs. Before the call from Milwaukee, Shalla led the Cyclones in goals with 11, and was fourth overall in points with 15. When asked about the length of his stay in Milwaukee, coach Evason said he's be heading back to Cincinnati after tonight's game.
Game Summary (courtesy of the American Hockey League):
1. MIL Lajunen, (1) (Roussel, Jarvinen), 2:29
1. RFD Bollig, (3) (Clendening), 9:33 (PP)
3. MIL Beck (5) (Bartley, Cehlin), 9:50

On Wednesday, May 28 Kristin Burnham of Information Week reported that Facebook is changing how its Open Graph sharing works to include less automatic sharing and concentrate more on content people choose to share with their friends. What this means for people in the greater Spokane area is that they will be seeing fewer updates in their news feeds informing them of what their friends and family have been doing on sites such as Pinterest or Instagram. If people are getting tired of seeing announcements every time friends achieve something in the games they play or listen to songs on their favorite music streaming sites, this change will probably make them enjoy hanging out on Facebook more.
According to Burnham, "Open Graph integration isn't going anywhere, but Facebook has encouraged developers to eliminate auto-sharing -- or at least make it opt-in. Last week, it started by disabling the automatic sharing of likes, comments, and posts from Instagram. Moving forward, Facebook will deemphasize these implicitly shared posts -- which will soon appear only on your profile -- in favor of ones that you deliberately share, such as articles from news sites, photos from Instagram, and songs from Spotify.
"... Deemphasizing Facebook's Open Graph actions effectively ends CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vision of 'frictionless sharing,' but it also coincides with the social network's recent push to make news feed content more valuable. In April, Facebook announced changes to detect spammy news feed posts that ask for readers to like, comment, or share in order to get more distribution. It also said it planned to crack down on frequently circulated content, such as a photo or video that users and pages repeatedly upload."
On Thursday, May 29, Polly Mosendz of The Wire explained how the changes will work. The new, improved News Feed will focus more on updates friends might actually want to see.
According to Mosendz, "A change to the Facebook's News Feed algorithm means you'll be seeing fewer of your friend's Spotify songs, Instagram Likes and other third-party app activity. If you have auto-sharing turned on — like sending all Instagram pictures to Facebook by default — those posts will be less likely to appear on your friend's feeds. But if you actually share to Facebook through an app, manually — adding a comment, then pressing the 'Share' button — your friends are more likely to see it. ... Cleaning up the algorithm also means it'll be easier to see what many of your friends have in common. Instead of seeing 10 posts from 10 friends all sharing the same song, you will see that song once, and below, '10 of your friends shared this.'"
In a recent post on the Facebook Developer Blog, Peter Yang explained several options people can try instead of auto sharing, such as using new features in Facebook Messenger to share content from apps or using the mobile like button that is available in the iOS version. He then went on to explain why Facebook is moving away from automatic sharing. Essentially, it hasn't been as popular with Facebook users as they expected when they introduced Open Graph back in 2011.
According to Yang, "In general, we've found that people engage more with stories that are shared explicitly rather than implicitly, and often feel surprised or confused by stories that are shared implicitly or automatically. Over the past year, the number of implicitly shared stories in News Feed has naturally declined. This decline is correlated with how often people mark app posts as spam, which dropped by 75 percent over the same period. In the coming months, we will continue to prioritize explicitly shared stories from apps in News Feed and Ticker over implicitly shared stories."
Facebook users in the Spokane area tend to be more concerned about privacy than typical Millennial social media buffs who don't mind maintaining a high level of transparency. This change will probably be very welcome among people in the Lilac City who aren't comfortable with the idea of their friends knowing about everything they watch on Hulu or listen to on Spotify. Ideally, it will also lead to less clutter when multiple friends post links to the same personality quiz or funny cat video. For many Spokanites, this may be the first welcome change Facebook has announced since 2011.

Hamas rejects calls for general elections
A meeting held late Sunday to discuss political reconciliation failed to make progress as the Hamas movement rejected the idea of holding general elections, a Fatah official said.
Amin Maqboul, secretary-general of Fatah's revolutionary council, told Ma'an that Hamas rejected a proposal presented by Fatah to hold legislative, presidential and general elections.
Hamas said they wanted to implement all reconciliation issues at the same time.
Fatah proposed elections to maintain the legitimacy of political institutions as both sides failed to agree on other primary reconciliation issues, Maqboul added.
Both factions discussed politically motivated arrests and are cooperating to relieve the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
President Abbas has been in contact with the Egyptian side to open Egypt's Rafah crossing, the Fatah official added.
Abbas dissolved the last unity government in June 2007. Since then, Fatah has dominated the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas has led a separate government in Gaza.
Repeated rounds of talks and reconciliation agreements have failed to reunite the Palestinians under a single government.

Olympians Goodhew and Marshall Launch Make a Splash in Tottenham
Tuesday 10 July 2012 at 13:32
A group of lucky Tottenham children took the plunge today with two of Britain's most successful swimming stars in an innovative open air portable pool that has been built in the playground at Devonshire Hill Primary School.
The Make a Splash pool got the official seal of approval from former Olympic swimming champion Duncan Goodhew and six -time Commonwealth medallist, Melanie Marshall, who hosted a special master class for children in the pool.
Goodhew said: "I'm really excited to be in Tottenham at this fantastic temporary pool. It's a really impressive facility which will make a big difference to the community.
"Swimming is an extremely important life skill to learn and it's also great fun. I'd like to encourage everyone to come down to Devonshire Hill Primary School to enjoy the pool while it's here."
The 12 x 6m pool has been provided by Make a Splash as part of the Mayor of London's Olympic Sports Legacy Fund and is an initiative of Team London - the Mayor of London's volunteer programme - and Haringey Council.
It is also supported by British Gas, the ASA and Thames Water.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "With the Olympic and Paralympic Games just around the corner I want to see Londoners of all ages and abilities taking advantage of this fantastic facility.
"Make a Splash is part of my ongoing effort to ensure a lasting sporting legacy from the Games by bringing top class facilities to communities across London. Now that the mobile pool has come to Tottenham, I'd urge people to check it out and take the plunge ahead of this summer like no other."
Volunteer Coordinator for Team London Stephanie Kamin said: "We're really grateful to Devonshire Hill Primary School for agreeing to host the community swimming pool, which will bring a host of fun swimming activities to the local community throughout the summer."
British Gas, which today officially announced its sponsorship of Make a Splash, has been supporting swimming at all levels in Britain for the last three years, with a strong emphasis on getting more people to swim.
British Gas Brand Director, Susie Plume said: "British Gas is passionate about getting the nation swimming so we're very excited to be involved with Make a Splash and bringing swimming to the community in Tottenham.
"During the three years of our partnership with British Swimming we have seen the benefits and enjoyment that swimming can bring to communities. I hope that everyone will have a fantastic time in the pool at Devonshire Hill Primary School this summer."
The temporary pool has been installed by Total Swimming and will provide a range of sessions designed to get the whole community involved. It opened on 14th June and will be on site until 6th September.
Sessions are just £2 each, and can be booked through Community Swimming on 0844 736 9047.

Hayley Williams
"It was cool to meet people that liked music as much as I did. As soon as we started writing together, it was pretty obvious."
- Hayley Williams, on meeting her bandmates Josh and Zac Farro.
Hayley Williams' stint as the lead singer for the popular rock band Paramore has cemented her place as an indelible figure within the alt-rock landscape, and she has consequently lent her unique talents to a number of projects unrelated to her day job (including an appearance in New Found Glory's "Kiss Me" video).
This is in addition to Paramore's rigorous and downright relentless touring schedule, which has taken the band to locales such as London, Ireland and Germany.
Hayley Williams BiographyHayley Williams was born on December 27, 1988, in Meridian, Mississippi. An extremely shy girl, Hayley's desire to perform was initially trumped by a severe case of stage fright. It wasn't until she moved to Tennessee that Hayley began to take steps to conquer her fear, as the aspiring singer signed up for vocal lessons and started to pursue roles in a variety of school productions.
It was around that time that Hayley met Josh and Zac Farro, a pair of musically inclined brothers who had already formed a funk cover band. Hayley found herself spending more and more time with the siblings, and -- along with Jeremy Davis and Jason Bynum -- the quintet finally decided to form a group of their own. When the time came to attach a moniker to their musical endeavor, the bandmates decided to utilize the name of a friend's mother's maiden name and consequently emerged as Paramore.
After spending a few months perfecting their sound, Paramore began performing at various Tennessee-based venues, and it wasn't long before the band began to amass a small, but loyal following of fans. The band's growing reputation made it an ideal fit for music festivals like the Warped Tour and Purple Door, and in April of 2005, Hayley Williams and her four compatriots were signed to a record contract with the Fueled by Ramen label (which is home to such well-known acts as Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World and Panic! At The Disco).
hayley williams records all we know is fallingJust as Hayley Williams and her bandmates began recording their debut album, bassist Jeremy Davis announced he was leaving Paramore for undisclosed reasons. His departure made a severe impact on Hayley and her remaining group members, though this didn't stop the foursome from forging ahead with work on All We Know Is Falling. The album, released on July 26, 2005, received a raft of positive reviews and peaked at No. 30 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart. The band spent much of that summer touring in support of the disc, with the surprise return of Jeremy to the fold boosting the spirits of Hayley and her musical brethren.
Paramore's rigorous touring schedule slowly, but surely turned them into the next big thing within the music scene, and expectations for their sophomore album grew steadily in the weeks and months prior to its release. In the interim, Paramore (and, by association, Hayley) began to rack up a series of accolades and kudos from a variety of sources -- including Kerrang Magazine (which named Hayley the No. 2 sexiest female in rock) and NME (which called Paramore one of the 10 bands to watch).
hayley williams records riot!In January of 2007, Paramore started work on their follow-up to All We Know is Falling; the disc, entitled Riot!, was released on June 12th and immediately proved itself to be a far more successful endeavor than its successor. Thanks to the band's appearances on various television shows (including Late Night with Conan O'Brien), Riot! was certified Gold in the United States, and Hayley Williams soon found herself being ranked alongside Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne as one of the hottest performers within the contemporary rock scene.

|Idaho falls in marathon match
DENVER, Colo. - In a back-and-forth battle, the Idaho volleyball team came out on the wrong end of a marathon five-setter, falling to Denver 3-2 in Western Athletic Conference play on Monday night.
The Vandals lost 28-26, 22-25, 22-25, 30-28, 17-15 in their 10th five-set match of the season, the most in a season in program history. Idaho falls to 11-13 overall and 9-5 in the WAC with the loss, while Denver improves to 14-10 overall and 7-6 in the WAC. Idaho is 3-7 in five-setters this season.
"This one is on us," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "We just didn't come out playing in our system. It was probably more on the defensive end. We just didn't execute. We had our chances and we made some errors and let some things go. From a team aspect, this was not a very consistent match by any means."
Five Vandal players had 10 or more kills in the match, led by 22 from junior Allison (Walker) Baker. She added 11 digs for her 16th double-double of the season. Senior Julia Church had a season-high 10 kills, one shy of her career-high, and junior Ashley Christman had a career-high 14 kills and added five blocks. Senior Alex Sele had 12 kills and added seven blocks, and sophomore Alyssa Schultz added 10 kills, and also finished with seven blocks.
Senior Jenny Feicht had her fifth double-double of the season with 40 assists and 16 digs. Senior Ryann Carter finished with 25 assists and eight digs. Freshman Katelyn Peterson had six kills and three digs and freshman Jenna Ellis had 13 digs.
Denver out-hit Idaho .215-.204, and had one more ace, six, than Idaho's five. Each team finished with 14.0 total blocks and the Vandals edged the Pioneers in digs, 92-88.
"We were really jumpy, we were out of our defensive positions a lot," Buchanan said. "Then you start trying to bail someone else out, and when that happens you're not doing your job."
Denver needed extra points in all three of its set wins, and the marathon match lasted 2 hours and 32 minutes, just 13 minutes shorter than the longest match in Idaho's history.
The Vandals will return home for their next three matches, hosting Seattle U on Nov. 3, Louisiana Tech on Nov. 8 and UT Arlington on Nov. 10 before the regular season finale at New Mexico State on Nov. 15.
"It will be nice to have two weeks at home," Buchanan said. "We have to take care of things one match at a time. We can either be a really good team or a mediocre team. Tonight we weren't a great team and therefore anyone can beat you."

International Investing Adds Diversification–but Only So Much
What foreign market do you think is most attractive right now for investors?
GUS SAUTER: International investing is beneficial because of the diversification it can provide to a portfolio. Many observers have noted that the correlation of other markets with the U.S. market has increased, so the benefits of diversification have declined over time. Nevertheless, more diversification is better than less. We just have to be cognizant that international investing isn't going to enable us to avoid the next bear market. While I was at Vanguard, our analysis indicated that the maximum benefit from diversification was in a range around 20% to 30% for both stocks and bonds.
In so far as which markets look best right now, that's a game I don't like to play. Two years ago, China and Brazil were the rage. Of course, their returns have been negative since then, while the U.S. market has soared. Trying to get too fancy is more like betting than investing.
George U. "Gus" Sauter is a senior consultant to Vanguard Group Inc. From 2003 through 2012, Mr. Sauter served as Vanguard's chief investment officer.

Upon Receiving The Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion
Westminster Abbey, Tuesday, May 6, 1997
Your Royal Highness, Sir John Templeton, Members of the Templeton Family
and Foundation. My divine brothers and sisters.
It gives me great pleasure to speak in Westminster Abbey. It is a matter
of great honour because the Abbey is hallowed in the history of this great land.
It is associated with greatest of all the translation of Holy Bible into English.
It helped spread the message of love and service far and wide. I too follow
the noble example of the Lord Jesus Christ. I bring with me all the love all
the noble thoughts and all the care for humankind, from the culture into which
I was born.
When l was growing up and began to think, I was pained at what I saw. I saw
man becoming egocentric and selfish, untrusting and untrustworthy, ungrateful,
uncaring and exploitative. I saw rapid erosion of human values and virtues.
In general, an atmosphere of isolation and fear was being created. Security
against wild beasts is understandable. But I wondered why man needed security
against man. I was struck by ethnic, economic and social barriers raised by
man against man. It was clear to me that by doing so humankind was demeaning
itself. As I studied and observed and thought through, I was convinced that
the merciful Creator could not have wished his children to become what they
were becoming. I was eager to know why was it so? I read history. I learned
that many systems had tried to bring order in the human life and uplift humankind
whenever it lost its humanity.
Religion was the first and the foremost institution that gave intellectual
introduction of God and revealed the relationship of self with Him and enabled
man to explore the meaning of life. For thousands of years, religion was successful
in ordering human conduct and stabilizing human life. Only during the last couple
of centuries, religion has lost its effectiveness. Its moral order is in decline.
The religious leaders have become increasingly sullen, withdrawn, pessimistic
and otherworldly. It is generally seen as a force against progress. Therefore,
particularly the youth are drifting away from it.
The religious moral order is becoming redundant. Key social institutions
like family, education and society are losing control. Religion is being reduced
to mechanical observance of a set of rituals. It is virtually being replaced
by power of the State, science, commerce and economics. Fear and selfishness
define all relationships. Even God is being approached either out of fear or
out of greed. The foundation of moral order is shaken. Indeed, religion has
become counter productive and dogmatic.
As religion has been on decline, science has been on rise. Humankind began
to look up to science as the new agency of deliverance, of making it happy.
To a great extent it has eased the life of the common person. Because of phenomenal
technological advancements, humankind began to labour under delusion. It thought
that it was capable of mastering nature. Despite several shocks, it is still
not out of the trance. The empirical logic on which science is based has questioned
even the existence of God. Surely, it has given humankind enormous material
power, but it has not and cannot teach it how to love, how to be grateful, how
to give warmth or how to relate with others. Humankind's false hopes from science
has been a pipedream. This never is the province of science.
Though scientific establishment continues its efforts to conquer nature,
its limitations have been exposed. Men of insight have drawn our attention to
these limitations. Man's disillusionment with science has increased because
it has been exposed to the horrors of weapons of mass destruction. Physical
distances have been reduced but emotional distances have widened and are widening.
Depletion of life giving resources has reached alarming levels. The psychic
costs of science and technology are now becoming unacceptable.
The State is another agency devised for the betterment for humankind to regulate
human affairs, to bring about harmony and accord between various sections of
society. It has tried to ensure welfare of all through rules and law. This shortcut
to human welfare has not been able to transform man or provide a moral basis
of government. Its amoral nature, its limited scope and its tendency to limit
human creativity has not and cannot serve the deeper spiritual needs of humanity.
The State has neither been able to eradicate inequalities nor establish a basis
of harmonious relationship within the state and among the states.
Rules are necessary to regulate life, but they are like fences or limits
within which humankind has to operate. Transgression is neither permitted nor
tolerated. It invites punishment. It is particularly harsh on the weak. It was
Plato who said in the Republic: 'Justice is in the interest of the stronger
and everyone knows it.' This is the universal nature of state laws, irrespective
of the color of the regime: red, white or green.
All these establishments and agencies - religion, science and state - have
brought order in conduct of human affairs. They have helped in reaching minimum
social accord. For centuries these institutions have taken care of humankind
and its well-being. At the same time these have also developed serious shortcomings.
They have belied hopes reposed in them. It has led to dangerous clashes and
dwindling resources. Life itself is threatened. Their ineffectiveness led thinking
people everywhere to find ways to overcome the dilemmas they faced. As a result
several schools of thought emerged.
I was drawn to the ideas of liberalism that had its birth in Great Britain.
It extolled the idea of human liberty. I love liberty. I think that the idea
of liberty is also dear to God, because he has given the power to us to do and
undo and face the consequences.
Liberalism focused on individual liberty. It emphasized rights and not duties.
It took the middle position between dogmatic conservatism and irresponsible
radicalism. However, it devalued social responsibility which led to its own
As self-defining subject, the individual derived his life purpose solely
from his self interest. Rest is taken as irrelevant. It raised the idea of 'live
and let live' to glorious heights. But this idea taken to its logical conclusion
would spell doom. It would lead to total indifference to the existence of others.
If all mothers were to practice it actually the Human race itself would be in
peril. This is not the language of mother.
Such instrumental thinking denies even the existence of the inner life of
the person. It is all calculation of costs and benefits in identifying and meeting
human desires. Such flawed philosophy needed correction. It did not meet the
test of logic, its love of freedom was seen as sentimental. Philosophers like
Voltaire had no patience with liberal thinking. They believed in analytical
and critical thinking. This line of thinking flourished in Germany and its influence
spread far and wide. Voltaire believed that reason and reason alone should be
the touchstone of whatever man does. His age has been described as the age of
reason or enlightenment. At first sight there seemed nothing wrong in the glorification
of human reason. I rejoiced in the idea, but then I started thinking that human
intellect is not free. It is influenced by motives. It is a slave of passions
and self-interest. It is moved by lust, ego and selfishness. Therefore, there
cannot be pure rationalism. Given the same facts, different people would rationalize
differently and reach different conclusions. Can we accept such thinking as
the basis for ordering human relations? Is it capable of uplifting man or bringing
him closer to other man? The answers were in negative.
The most powerful idea to emerge during the last two centuries is of equality.
It is also known as socialism. It postulates that economic justice is necessary
for just relations in other spheres. The first step to bring about such an order,
based on equality, required state mobilization of resources, production and
distribution. It was and is a grand idea. I was deeply moved by such thinking.
But, then I started looking around and found little evidence to support my
faith. I found that nature does not support equality. No two species are equal
nor two individuals are endowed equally. I was also exposed to the nature of
the State under socialist regimes. It frequently turned against individual freedoms.
Redistribution of wealth did not ensure equality. It perhaps ensured minimum
welfare, but it could not abolish the distinction between haves and have-nots.
The reasons were obvious. Economic resources are for exchange and investment.
Economic decisions are dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond
human control, say, virtues and vices. There can be an individual who spends
his income on liquor and another on books. Both make unproductive decisions
and to that extent become economically have-nots as compared to a man who invests
for accumulation purposes. Even equal opportunity does not ensure equalities,
for individual capabilities are different. Then what has to be done? Given the
problems associated with various schools of thought or 'isms', I was convinced
that they could find only partial answers.
The answer had to be found to the central problem of fitting the unfit to
survive. The answers that I found were eclectic. They were supported by my tradition,
though these were not exclusive to my tradition. My model was that of parent-child
relationship and love among children of one family. The child is vulnerable,
but the parents nurture it. I wondered how the resourceful and the powerful
in the society can be motivated to share with the needy and take care of the
needy? How the needy can be secured against the sense of inferiority and insignificance?
What will induce the haves and have-nots to come together in equal and loving
relationship? Can such relationship be established? I had to swim against mighty
After much reflection, I thought that it was possible. The need was to remind
humankind of the idea of divine nearness. Humankind had to learn that the unit
of relevance for us is not only of our biological family but also the family
of man. Most religions have these ideas in some form or the other. However,
they have remained dormant. Even in the religious tradition of my birth, where
these ideas are full blown and fully accepted, they have not been put into practice.
Instead, they have been twisted. It has resulted in great inequalities.
I was convinced that these ideas can be put into practice because these were
reason based and in agreement with the philosophy. These ideas also can overcome
the feeling of superiority and inferiority involved in giving and receiving.
This is not a structural perspective. It is a perspective of shared divinity
and a caring family.
For me God is central to life. Growth, progress and development have no meaning
if they do not stem from and contribute to God-consciousness. Progress is a
process, not an end. We talk of sustainable development without talking spirituality.
Spirituality alone is capable of sustaining self- respect and promoting self
reliance. Armed with such thinking I started going where comfortably located
people normally do not go. I also encouraged others to go. We went to the people
discarded by society. Now, millions of people have joined me in this journey.
In all this I was inspired by many philosophical texts, particularly my reading
of Bhagwad Geeta and its doctrine of indwelling presence of God. When I accept
the idea of diving presence, all aspects of life become clear and focused. I
accept God's presence in each and every person. I begin to respect myself and
others, irrespective of the post, position or possession of the other. I do
not permit any outside agency to exploit me.
The awareness of God's nearness is life enhancing. When humankind begins
to feel and absorb God's love, it stops feeling helpless. It helps to regulate
our way of life and thinking. We also begin to understand that behind our existence
and faculties is the power of God. This manifests in developing a divine brotherhood
under the fatherhood of God. That is the foundation of Swadhyaya family or pariwar
as we call it.
My own interactions with people convince me that we have neglected the common
man, if not disowned him. He has reason to be suspicious, as those who have
gone to him have done so to exploit him. This suspicion can go and must go.
The barriers have to be lowered. Trust can be restored only through selfless
love. We reach out to others with an understanding that we are the children
of same God. We are all related. I have called it bhatki pheri or devotional
visits. This builds a relationship based on devotion. It changes and renews
both - one who visits and the one visited.
The sense of self-worth is further enhanced by a novel form of charity. It
is different from what is known as charity that is normally offered by the rich
to the poor. I refuse to believe that only the rich are endowed with this faculty.
Poor and needy too want to offer charity, but they are barely able to sustain
themselves. The have-nots have nothing to offer except their sweat. I encouraged
them to offer to God their labor and their occupational efficiency, time and
talent, power and potential. They started offering their efficiency and skill
for a day every month. This offering is sacred and subjective because that is
offered is in the spirit of devotion to God. The notion of using efficiency
as devotional offering is continuously extended, generating "impersonal wealth".
Indeed, impersonal wealth belongs to none but God. It is available for and distributed
to have-nots to stand on their own feet. Words like equality, dignity, solidarity
acquire new meaning; they become real.
Thus, from the idea of divine relationship and gratefulness to God has grown
a series of constructive programs. This leads to community building and releasing
of untapped potential for self-reliant communities. This re-linking of individual
and society also results in many other beneficial effects. Domestic violence,
gambling, alcoholism, wife and child abuse, dowry, etc. gradually disappear
from the communities where Swadhyaya ideas have taken roots.
Our methodology is in sharp contrast to tradition of giving in secular -
socialist framework and humanist philanthropy. This could work because I tried
to rework traditional ideas. I wanted to minimize cultural shock of existential
living and enable people to accept new ideas in an old framework. I did this
through the idea of bhakti or devotion. Bhakti is an understanding. It is an
attitude of mind. It is a loving expression of gratefulness to God. It is an
intellectual perception with emotional undercurrent.
The conventional view of bhakti is that it is a solitary, introverted activity.
It tried to show that inner and outer experiences are not two opposites facing
each other. They are the same. Bhakti is possible and desirable in everyday
living. It could be expressed through service to God.
I see bhakti as an understanding of God's profound love for us. We respond
to that in form of active concern for His creation. We show our concern by translating
it into community action; that is, expanding the circle of love for meeting
the common goal. In so doing, we are not engaged in any social service nor are
we obliging others. It is our gratitude to the Supreme Creator that issues into
a dynamic activity, actional or devotion krutibhakti as we call it. Understood
in this larger sense, bhakti has the potential to solve the socio-economic problems.
It becomes an antidote to expressive individualism and oppressive state control.
Participation in community reconstruction also becomes a journey of self-discovery.
For us, to align with the divine means to align with others.
Bhakti is our entry point through which we develop bonds of brotherhood.
Because of the voluntary nature, obligations are self-incurred. From passive
spectators and helpless victims, we become responsible for our lives and the
world in which we live. Having built such spiritual bonds, it is not difficult
for us to identify the area specific problems and the ways to overcome them
in a manner that uses our efficiency and resources.
Depending on the needs of the area where we work, we have been engaged in
nearly two dozen projects to date. Some of the experiments have grown quite
large and generate considerable "impersonal wealth". These are Yogeshwar Krushi
(Farms of god), Matsyagandha (Floating Temple of fisherman), Hiramandir (Temple
of diamond cutters), Vrukshamandirs (Orchards and woodlands that are called
tree temples) and water conservation projects. However, it is not the utilitarian
aspect of these projects that is important to us. That is only a bi-product.
It is their bonding capacity that is important to us.
I do not know whether I have been successful or not. By any conventional
standards, the achievements of Swadhyaya stand out, but that need not be a measure
of our success. What I do know is that I am not a failure, and that people of
all faiths have responded positively to what I have proposed. Perhaps this award
is a testimony of it. Your appreciation has strengthened my belief that my work
is dear to God. You have delivered me the love letter of God. I truly and sincerely
thank the sensitivity of those who have appreciated what they have not even
seen. What you have not seen are the subjective changes in humankind and how
Swadhyaya is revitalizing human relationships. These cannot be described. These
have to be observed and experienced first hand. On behalf of our pariwar, I
invite you, Sir, the Templeton family, the panel of judges and those who are
present here to come and personally see the work and experience the transformation
that is taking place.
I once again thank God for his love and recognition and thank you for your
appreciation by way of the Award.

Sting's contract with TNA has expired and he is officially a free agent. Many are wondering if the talks of him going to WWE will finally end up being true, and they do seem stronger than ever this year. Some are wondering if it will be just for the Hall of Fame or maybe a "Legends" deal, but Bleacher Report stated on Feb. 1, 2014, that he could actually end up being the general manager of "Monday Night Raw."
The famed wrestler hasn't actually signed with the company, but many say a deal is imminent. It appears as if the current, and tentative, plan is to make him the General Manager of "Raw."
SEE: Sting uses famous quote to tease free agency, possible move to WWE
F4W Newsletter states:
"The feeling is that he (Sting) won't be rushed into a match at WrestleMania, and we're told the working idea right now is for him to perhaps be the new Raw General Manager."
Currently, Brad Maddox is the GM of the Monday night show, but switching him out for Sting wouldn't be anything that fans would have a problem with.
Anything is still possible though, and Sting has not put his name down on the dotted line. Reports have had him very close to signing with WWE in the past and nothing ever ended up happening, but it's never seemed this close.

A long time after Henry Ford turned the auto industry on its head (actually – onto its wheels) by utilizing the assembly line to produce millions of Model Ts, the Ford Motor Company made another monumental change in 2014, another forward leap in automobile production, with the change from steel to aluminum for the body of its best-selling pickup truck F150.
Not only is the complexity of computerization and connectivity in all types of automobiles growing, but new materials for body construction are now coming into play as well – aluminum and various types of composites — plastic and fiber sandwich-construction.
Changing the body and load-bed from steel to aluminum in a full-sized pickup was a big risk for Ford and its suppliers. Reportedly, Ford invested more than $1 billion in new tooling, and Alcoa and Novelis together spent another billion dollars to enable large-scale aluminum-sheet production.
Everyone has to chip in to preserve nature and ourselves, our freedom of mobility, and our dwindling resources. In the near future, all of us have to carry the burden of earlier mistakes.
We all must invest in our future by improving ways of going from Point A to Point 2 (a family joke).
No one will be spared from spending for the privilege of mobility, because the future is complex …. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure…. Unfortunately, change is not without cost.
In addition to its body production, Ford is investing another half a billion dollars in its Lima, Ohio, engine plant for the manufacturing of the EcoBoost family of engines. These all-aluminum engines use the lighter metal instead of cast-iron in cylinder blocks and –heads.
As well, transmission housings are cast from aluminum, to save weight, and reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
Back to the all-aluminum body: Ford's F-150 chief engineer Pete Reyes said, "After we debuted the truck at NAIAS [the North American International Auto Show], when we looked back at all the feedback and questions, a lot of the questions came back to, 'How can you be sure that this truck will be just as tough?' He added, "Our research indicates that 80 percent of customers view an aluminum-bodied truck as "legitimate", but 20 percent still need to be convinced; Of those 20 percent, about half will be "difficult to sway."
Those few doubters should be won over by Mark Keller, Ford manager for structures and body, who revealed that the sheet thickness in the load-bed was increased by nearly 50 percent, the cab panels by about 30%, and still - the whole 2015 aluminum pickup weighs in about 1,000 pounds lighter than a comparable previous model made of ferrous metals.
To make sure that aluminum is up to the task, Ford (as do most other automakers) put their new model onto a torture rack, which shakes and twists a vehicle repeatedly in seven different ways for days on end, the equivalent of several hundred-thousand miles of driving through 'pothole alley'.
Testing continues of the F-Series Heavy-Duty trucks to prove that all-aluminum is plenty strong enough for the "treatment" an F-250 or F-350 will receive on the farm, the construction site, or anywhere else. The SUVs from Ford and Lincoln will undergo the same evaluation regarding the advantages of aluminum lightweight construction because all three models share some parts and manufacturing processes.
Nonetheless, accident will happen before cars and trucks can "drive themselves", autonomously.
Working to repair lightweight aluminum bodies, collision centers will have to change the way of doing business. Craftspeople skilled in the in the way of working magic on steel will have to learn new methods to repair aluminum, which behaves differently. Body shops will need to invest in new tools and training, and it will take time for everyone to become familiar with anything new.
Remember, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) is mandated to reach 54.5 mpg in 6 years from now. (That should be about 42 mpg on the EPA window sticker) [why can't they get those things straight ???]
Saving non-renewable resources, saving the environment, and saving the world from unforeseen problems requires the auto industry to continually reinvent itself, and design, develop, test and produce always-new alternative transportation.

Where else would you find authentic Irish parades than Ireland? On Sunday, March 16th, parades filled the streets in the capital cities of both Dublin, Ireland and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Larger crowds were on hand this year, as Breaking News reported a fifty percent increase in visitors to Ireland. And, the BBC reports that the parade in Belfast was the 'biggest in years.'
The top three tourist destinations for St. Patrick's Day in Ireland is Dublin, Galway, and Cork, according to officials from Expedia, who also told Breaking News that this year, foreign bookings more than doubled. The BBC estimated nearly 500,000 people lined the streets of the 'largest parade on the island of Ireland,' in Dublin.
Northern Ireland shared in the increase of people coming out to celebrate tourism. Belfast's Lord Mayor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir told the BBC 'it's the biggest turnout I've seen in some years on St Patrick's Day, great colour, lots of green.' The BBC also reported that 15,000 people gathered for the parade in Belfast, which is just part the three day festival.
While many have looked to to Boston, New York, and Chicago as the best places to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in the past, traveling to the root of the holiday is becoming the latest trend. Perhaps next year, Ireland or Northern Ireland should become your destination for celebrating with the Irish.

Fans of System of a Down hoping for a possible reunion at this year's Lollapolooza might have to wait a while longer for the band to hit the stage again.
Frontman Serj Tankian recently spoke to Billboard.com stating, "We always have offers to play, from festivals and stuff, but we have not decided to do anything as of yet. We're in touch. We talk. We call it an indefinite hiatus, and that's how we still look at it. Nothing's really changed."
The hiatus of the band has stuck since 2006, but rumors quickly swirled when bassist Shavo Odadjian made a post on his Twitter page that simply said: "Are u guys ready for System???"
While System may be on an "indefinite hiatus," Tankian is keeping more than busy. On March 9th, his live Elect The Dead Symphony CD/DVD, performed with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, can be purchased. The release will contain songs from his solo debut, Elect The Dead, as well as two previously unreleased tracks.
As for a follow-up to 2007's Elect The Dead, it's definitely in the works, and Tankian is shooting for a summer release. The sophomore effort is currently titled Music Without Borders and is said to take on a more electro and orchestra-jazz vibe.
Continuing his obsession with orchestral arrangements, Tankian is planning on composing music for an adaptation of the Greek play, Prometheus Unbound. While details of the project are skill sketchy, you can get a taste of Serj's orchestra-rock by preordering Elect The Dead Symphony on iTunes. Preordering the CD will allow access to download the disc on February 23rd, two weeks before the CD/DVD package hits shelves.

Researchers seek volunteers to help track the spread of flu using social media
Research Study Details
Tracking the spread of flu using social media
The ubiquity of mobile devices and the rapid growth in the use of social media to communicate and share information is providing health care decision makers new opportunities to track and predict health, and to optimize utilization of health care facilities.
A team of research scientists at Penn State University Park, in conjunction with University Health Services (UHS), are conducting a study for research purposes to investigate whether the use of social media across campus, such as Twitter and Facebook, could help track influenza outbreaks. People often share their flu symptom experiences (cough, fever) via social media and the researchers recognize that that this information could provide a valuable tool in predicting influenza outbreaks earlier than current surveillance methods. The results of this study could lead to better preparedness at the university should there ever be a flu epidemic. The team are hoping to recruit as many students and faculty/staff to the project as possible. Participants will be entered into a draw to win an iPad.
If you are 18 years old or older and would like to participate in the study, please click here: http://www.cidd.psu.edu/flu-project
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Dr Marcel Salathé in the Centre for Infectious Disease Dynamics, W-252Millennium Sciences Building, University Park, PA, 16802. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Tel: 814 – 867 – 4431.
Study Dates, Times and Location
Start Date: Feb 01, 2013 12:00 AM
Study Available by Appointment?: No
Location: The study will collect data from social media sources (Twitter and Facebook). As such, it will not take place in any particular building.
Approximate Participant Study Length: 2 Years
Participants' active involvement lasts less than 10 minutes, the time it takes to fill out a short survey. Associated social media data will be collected to obtain a maximum of 12 months prior and 12 months after participants provide consent. We will collect particpants' social media data a maximum of 12 months before and 12 months after so that any changes in social media behavior (content and/or frequency) can be analyzed. One of the signals that people are sick could be a change in the content or frequency of posting.

2012 Deer Bow Statistics
North Dakota bowhunters compiled what is likely a record archery deer harvest during the 2012 season.
The Game and Fish Department issued 19,940 resident and 2,336 nonresident bow licenses last year, 245 more than the previous record bow license sales in 2010. Approximately 19,300 of those license buyers actually hunted, taking an estimated 6,856 deer, for an overall hunter success rate of 35.4 percent.
The total harvest included 6,440 whitetails and 416 mule deer. About 71 percent of the whitetail harvest was adult bucks, and 96 percent of the mule deer taken were adult bucks.
"As an agency, we are not surprised by the high number of archery hunters during a season in which deer gun license numbers were down considerably from previous years," said Randy Kreil, Game and Fish Department wildlife chief. "Based on the high success rate, the archery harvest may become a significant factor in future deer management, particularly if habitat conditions continue to deteriorate and deer populations remain low."
The 2013 archery deer season started August 30 and runs through January 5, 2014.
Agencies Prohibit Hunting Over Bait
Hunters are reminded that hunting big game over bait is prohibited on all state owned or managed wildlife management areas, all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national wildlife refuges and waterfowl production areas, U.S. Forest Service national grasslands, and all North Dakota state school, state park and state forest service lands.
The governor's proclamation relating to chronic wasting disease also includes a provision that prohibits hunting big game over bait on both public and private land in deer units 3E1, 3E2, 3F1, 3F2 and 3C west of the Missouri River.
In addition, any firearms, equipment or accessories used by hunters on Private Land Open To Sportsmen acreage may not be left unattended and must be removed when the hunter leaves the area. This includes, but is not limited to, guns, blinds, stands, baits, scents and decoys. This means a hunter cannot place bait on PLOTS prior to or during the season and leave it there. Any bait would have to be brought to the PLOTS with the hunter the same day and taken out with the hunter the same day he/she leaves.
Hunting over bait is defined as the placement and/or use of baits for attracting big game and other wildlife to a specific location for the purpose of hunting. Bait, in this case, includes grain, seed, mineral, salt, fruit, vegetable nut, hay or any other natural or manufactured food placed by an individual. Bait does not include agricultural practices, gardens, wildlife food plots, agricultural crops, livestock feeds, fruit or vegetables in their natural location such as apples on or under an apple tree, or unharvested food or vegetables in a garden.
Electronic License Reminder
Bowhunters are reminded that this year for the first time, deer bow licenses and accompanying tags are only available through electronic purchase.
Licenses can be purchased either online at the Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov; by calling (800) 406-6409; or at license vendors in counties that are linked to the Game and Fish Department's online licensing system.
In counties that are not on the Game and Fish system, deer bow licenses will not be available at the usual license vendors. In addition, hunters who purchase bow licenses online from a personal computer should allow for several days to receive their tag in the mail.
For a current list of county auditors and all their authorized license vendors that are part of the Game and Fish Department electronic licensing system, refer to the Department's website.
Record Number of Walleye Stocked
Excellent walleye fingerling production from the Garrison Dam (9.7 million) and Valley City (1.3 million) national fish hatcheries resulted in a record 11 million walleye fingerlings stocked into state waters this summer.
Jerry Weigel, North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries production and development section leader, said with a record number of walleye waters across the state, there has never been a larger demand for walleye production. "We are fortunate to have the production capability of the two federal hatcheries to help address this demand," he said.
Altogether, 110 lakes and rivers were stocked in North Dakota, including 4.3 million fingerlings in Lake Sakakawea, 863,000 in Stump Lake, 495,000 in Lake Darling, 329,000 in Lake Ashtabula, 321,000 in Heart Butte Reservoir, 218,000 in Paterson Lake, 205,000 in Bowman-Haley Reservoir and 200,000 in Lake Metigoshe.
"There has never been a better time to fish for walleye," Weigel added. "Statewide, there are a lot of great opportunities, and a very good chance of success."
Big Game Transport Rules
Hunters are reminded of requirements for transporting deer, elk and moose carcasses and carcass parts into and within North Dakota as a precaution against the possible spread of chronic wasting disease.
Hunters harvesting a big game animal this fall in North Dakota deer unit 3F2 cannot transport a carcass containing the head and spinal column outside of the unit unless it's taken directly to a meat processor. The head can be removed from the carcass and transported outside the unit if it is to be submitted to a State Game and Fish Department district office, CWD surveillance drop-off location or a licensed taxidermist.
If the deer is processed in the field to boned meat, and the hunter wants to leave the head in the field, the head must be legally tagged and the hunter must be able to return to or give the exact location of the head if requested for verification.
In addition, hunting big game over bait is prohibited in deer units 3E1, 3E2, 3F1, 3F2 and 3C west of the Missouri River.
Hunters are prohibited from transporting into North Dakota the whole carcass, or certain carcass parts, of deer, elk, moose or other members of the cervid family from areas within states and provinces with documented occurrences of CWD in wild populations, or from farmed cervid operations within states and provinces that have had farmed cervids diagnosed with CWD.
Only the following portions of the carcass can be transported:
- Meat that is cut and wrapped either commercially or privately.
- Quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached.
- Meat that has been boned out.
- Hides with no heads attached.
- Clean (no meat or tissue attached) skull plates with antlers attached.
- Antlers with no meat or tissue attached.
- Upper canine teeth, also known as buglers, whistlers or ivories.
- Finished taxidermy heads.
Hunters should refer to the 2013-14 CWD proclamation on the Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov, for game management units, equivalent wildlife management units, or counties in other states that have had free-ranging deer, moose or elk diagnosed with CWD. Importation of harvested elk, white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose or other cervids from listed areas are restricted.
Fall Turkey Licenses
The fall turkey lottery is scheduled for mid-September. Any remaining licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters are allowed a maximum of 15 licenses for the fall season.
Refer to the Game and Fish website in late September for more information on the application process for remaining licenses, including an update of licenses available.
PLOTS Photo Contest
A photo contest will decide the cover of the 2014 Private Land Open To Sportsmen Guide.
From end-of-day hunting shots, to scenic action or landscape shots, the Game and Fish Department wants to feature hunter photos on the 2014 PLOTS cover and elsewhere that showcase North Dakota's strong hunting heritage.
The Department's free PLOTS Guide, which highlights walk-in hunting areas across the state, was first published in 1999.
The only real contest guideline is that photos must include a PLOTS sign, front-facing or silhouette.
The contest deadline is April 30, 2014. Log on to the Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov, to learn more about contest prizes, rules and entry information.
HIP for Migratory Bird Hunters
All migratory game bird hunters, regardless of age, are reminded that Harvest Information Program registration is required starting September 1.
HIP certification is required for hunting ducks, geese, swans, mergansers, coots, cranes, snipe, doves or woodcock. Mike Johnson, Game and Fish Department game management section leader, said HIP registration provides the Department with a database of names and addresses of migratory bird hunters, and a sample of these hunters will receive a questionnaire regarding hunting activity and number of birds harvested.
"This information allows us to make sound decisions concerning hunting seasons, bag limits and population management," Johnson said. "Hunter compliance is essential in order to obtain reliable estimates of the annual harvest of all migratory game bird species."
Hunters who purchase a license through the Department's electronic licensing system (gf.nd.gov) or instant licensing telephone number at (800) 406-6409 can easily get HIP certified.
Otherwise, hunters can access the Game and Fish website, or call (888) 634-4798 and record the HIP number on their fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate.
Those who registered to hunt the spring light goose season in North Dakota do not have to register with HIP again, as it is required only once per year. However, hunters must HIP register in each state for which they are licensed before hunting migratory game birds.
Sandhill Crane Permits
Hunting permits for North Dakota's 2013 sandhill crane season, opening September 14, are available from the Game and Fish Department.
As in past years, prospective hunters need a crane permit, regardless of age. The permit cost $5 and is available through the Game and Fish Department's Bismarck office.
Hunters can purchase their crane permit online on the Department's website, gf.nd.gov. Another option is to send the permit fee, along with personal information, including height, weight, social security number, date of birth, color of hair and eyes, and hunter education number and state issued, to Crane Permit, NDGF, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501.
Hunting Signs Available
"Ask Before You Enter" and "Walking Hunters Welcome" signs are available to North Dakota landowners who encourage hunting on their land.
Landowners can order quantities of four, eight or 12. The signs are free and sponsored by the North Dakota Landowner-Sportsman Council.
To order, contact the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at (701) 328-6300, or email email@example.com. Signs can also be ordered or printed online at the Department's website, gf.nd.gov.
North Dakota Record Fishing Licenses Sales
Years of rising water, a record number of fishing lakes and aggressive fish management in North Dakota have helped produce a record number of anglers.
Greg Power, Game and Fish Department fisheries chief, said virtually every license category established a record high in 2012-13, or at the least had a substantial increase. "Even more impressive, this was spread throughout the state, and not just in the rapidly growing counties of western North Dakota," he said.
Game and Fish Department statistics revealed more than 218,000 fishing licenses were sold last year, 20 percent higher than the previous record set in 1982. A total of 159,500 resident fishing licenses were sold last year, also breaking the record set 30 years ago. In addition, nearly 59,000 nonresident fishing licenses were purchased last year, easily surpassing the previous high set two years ago.
"North Dakota remains near the top in the country in terms of per capita residents who fish," Power said.
In terms of actual individuals participating in fishing, the past year was again record-setting with more than 200,000 active anglers and about 2 million days of fishing. Both open water and ice fishing activity experienced substantial increases. Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake and Lake Oahe/Missouri River remained the top three fisheries in the state.
Photo Contest Deadline
The deadline for submitting photos to the Game and Fish Department's Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest is September 30.
Contest entries are limited to digital files submitted on disk or via email. Photo disks should be sent to Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest, c/o Patrick T. Isakson, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095. Send emailed digital photos to email@example.com.
The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries.
Full contest rules were published in the July 2013 issue of this magazine. They are also available at gf.nd.gov.

Charlie Mariano: Avoid the Year of the Monkey
Avoid the Year of the Monkey
Charlie Mariano (saxes, reeds)
Helen 12 Trees (MPS 15483)
Charlie Mariano (saxes, reeds), Jan Hammer (piano, Moog synthesizer), Jack Bruce (bass),
Zbigniew Seifert (violin), John Marshall (drums), Nippy Noya (percussion).
Composed by Charlie Mariano.
Recorded: Munich, Germany, May 1976
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Had it not been for a mailing snafu, Charlie Mariano's Helen 12 Trees may have been one of the most renowned fusion albums of its day. Unbeknownst to record label MPS, the 200 pressed LPs forwarded to the promoter to send off for reviews were misdirected instead by the pressing plant to the small village of Bauhaus near the East German border. It wasn't until 20 or so years later that this was discovered. In hindsight, it explained why the album received virtually no press when released. According to the liner notes of this MPS reissue, the only review ever found appeared in a small jazz magazine that happened to be located in that accidental town! No wonder virtually no one heard the album at the time. No one knew it existed. What a crime!
American saxophonist Mariano, who first appeared on traditional jazz recordings way back in 1947, put together quite a fusion band for Helen 12 Trees. Joining him were Jan Hammer, fresh off the success of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and his own solo recordings, the great rock/jazz bassist Jack Bruce, best known for Cream, drummer John Marshall and percussionist Nippy Noya. But from a historical viewpoint, the most interesting participant in this recording was Polish violinist Zbigniew Seifert. Although little known because he died tragically early, he is legendary among fusion and violin cognoscenti.
"Avoid the Year of the Monkey" may have a funny title, but it is serious music. Hammer's electric piano introduces Mariano's skittering lines. The main theme, played by Mariano and Seifert in unison, enters a minute or two into the piece. A slight Arabian tilt is heard. Then we listen to Seifert express himself. He was every bit the player Jerry Goodman and Jean Luc Ponty were. Stylistically he leaned to Ponty because of his European roots. But like Goodman before him, he plays call and response with Jan Hammer's Moog as if he were in the original Mahavishnu Orchestra. The Arabian-sounding melody returns over Bruce's insistent bassline. Mariano and Seifert finish this outstanding fusion music in beautiful unison. I can only imagine the accolades and word of mouth this recording would have received if any of us had heard it when new. I must thank MPS for releasing it now on CD. Let's hope this time we can make sure as many fusion fans as possible can dig it. Spread the word. But double-check those mailing addresses.
