Columbia, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Missouri has dismissed wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham from the team, the school announced Friday.
The announcement came one day after the Columbia Police Department said it would not arrest Green-Beckham following a burglary investigation over an incident that occurred last week.
The school said the decision to part ways with Green-Beckham, one of the nation's top returning receivers, was made by Tigers coach Gary Pinkel in conjunction with Missouri athletic director Mike Alden.
Green-Beckham had been suspended indefinitely from the team on Monday for what the school said was a violation of team policies.
"This decision was made with the best interests of all involved in mind," Pinkel said in a statement. "Dorial's priority going forward needs to be focusing on getting the help he needs. As we have all along, we will continue to do everything we can to assist Dorial and his family.
"We care deeply about Dorial and his well-being, but hopefully he can benefit from a fresh start."
Alden said Green-Beckham's dismissal was "a necessary step for our football team, athletic department, the university and our community."
"We have a high standard of conduct for our student-athletes," Alden said in a statement. "Though we provide the resources and mentoring to all of our student-athletes, we are also responsible to the community at large and to the ideals and values of the University of Missouri."
In a statement Green-Beckham's father, John, read over the phone to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the wide receiver said he was entering counseling and that he has been "young and dumb."
Police say Green-Beckham was looking for his girlfriend early Sunday morning when he forced his way into an apartment and pushed a woman down at least four stairs.
Two women in the apartment, including the one pushed down the stairs, later told police they didn't want to press charges against Green-Beckham and a warrant his arrest was withdrawn.
The police report includes text messages exchanged between one of the women and Green-Beckham's girlfriend, who pleads with the woman not to press charges in the case.
In one text Green-Beckham's girlfriend says he dragged her by her neck, though she later told a domestic violence investigator that she had been drinking and didn't remember sending that.
Another text indicates there was pressure from the football department to have the witnesses decline to press charges.
"He will be kicked out of Mizzou and (then) not qualify for the draft next year," the text from Green-Beckham's girlfriend reads. "The coaches talked to me and explained how serious this is and there's no time to waste at this point."
Green-Beckham's girlfriend admitted sending the text but denied anyone from the football program had contacted her. She said coaches talked to Green- Beckham and he relayed the message to her.
Another witness said football teammates who were outside the apartment at the time of the incident urged people not to call the police.
In his statement to the Post-Dispatch, Green-Beckham said, "First and most importantly, I take responsibility for my conduct and my mistakes.
"Don't blame my girlfriend or her friends for anything," he said. "I am not looking for sympathy. I thank those who have given me concern.
"I have been young and dumb. I want to be better. During my suspension I'm entering counseling. With help, I know I can be stronger emotionally and spiritually. My relationship with God, my family, friends, teammates and coaches are most important in my life, not football.
"It may not be possible to fix everything, but it won't be for not trying."
Green-Beckham was arrested twice on charges related to marijuana possession during his time at Missouri, including this past January, when he was riding in a car found to be holding a large quantity of the drug.
He led the Tigers with 59 catches and 12 touchdown receptions this past season and gained 883 yards through the air. Green-Beckham would have to sit out a year if he transfers to another FBS school. He could play next season if he dropped a level and transferred to an FCS program.

Hey guys,
I recently learned how to surf on a trip down to the OBX. It was fantastic! Ive skated and snowboarded all my life so I had no problem picking it up. I was looking for advice on a spot to surf in Monmouth county since I live in Red Bank. I was looking for a relatively calmer spot where I wouldn't get in the way of the experienced guys and also a spot that wasn't a total shore break since I've never liked hurtling face first into sand. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks everyone!!!

text: We all know children are the future, but at least two brands in Gucci Group apparently think they will play a significant role in the conglomerate's financial future too. Today Gucci announced they will launch kids' collections in November, while earlier Stella McCartney spilled the same news. Stella, of course, already had two very successful test runs with kids' collections for Gap, so her decision to take the profits in-house isn't really a surprise. Gucci, on the other hand, is entering the market with a splash — and a couple of big assumptions about consumer behaviour that may, or may not, be true.

There is a confusion about what features of Acrobat and PDFs in general offer by way of securing documents. I would like to do a very cursory overview of the items that I have so far seen users consider "security."
To be clear, by "security" I mean the ability or inability to access the contents of the PDF, thus safeguarding information from entering the wrong hands.
1) Not Security-Oriented
a) Watermarks
Unlike on your Dollar, Euro or Pound notes (etc), the watermark is NOT a guarantee of integrity, veracity or anything at all.
In the PDF world, a visible watermark only exists as a notification mechanism. If a watermark says "Confidential," it is only warning the viewer that the content is confidential, but will not otherwise try to make itself indelible.
It is meant to be a very visible mark on the page, with the added property of not completely obfuscation the items underneath (allowing readability to be maintained)
b) Certification
A Certified PDF carries a digital signature certifying that certain things can and cannot be done with it. Namely:
-A PDF certified to run privileged scripts can run scripts requiring special privileges, such as writing to the hard drive.
-A PDF certified to be unmodified means that so long as the PDF has been modified withing given parameters (fields filled in for example), then the certification will hold. If a visual aspect of the PDF changes though, the certification will be broken, and Acrobat will report an error.
Certification covers a number of other use cases as well, but I hope the above illustrates sufficiently why this is a not a security-related item, rather a usability concern.
c) Reader Extensions Usage Rights
Acrobat and LiveCycle can extend the usability of PDFs to Adobe Reader, the free PDF viewing application. By extending usability features, you can allow Reader users to fill in forms and save that content, add comment annotation, and other functionality.
However, if the same extended form is opened in Acrobat, the user can do to the PDF pretty much anything that Acrobat has at its disposition.
REUR adds functionality to Reader. Any extra functionality it does not add is a restriction that Reader already had.
2) Security-Oriented
a) Password Protection
Using password protection, you can encrypt the PDF so it can only be opened by a person who has the password. You can also prevent the PDF from being used in certain ways, such as modifying the pages.
You cannot however track who has opened the PDF, when and at what IP. That is the domain of Rights Management.
b) LiveCycle Rights Management (aka Policy Server)
LiveCycle 7 introduced Policy Server, later renamed to LiveCycle Rights Management. Adobe LiveCycle/ADEP Rights Management protects your documents from being accessed by parties you have not authorized to do so.
This allows the document publisher to:
-protect with a user ID/password combination
-force the identification to go to a remote server
-restrict usage rights depending on the user's group
With this is mind, you must be aware that ONLY persons that are trusted should be granted a login to the document. If, on a document that you want to protect, you have granted access to a person you do not Trust Entirely, you have opened the door to having your information stolen – be it via sreen grab, or simply photographing the screen with a camera.
It's like having the best vault to protect your secrets and giving the secretary the passcode for safekeep. If the secretary is honest, they will leave your items well alone. But if you did not trust them in the first place, the vault, for all its technology and mechanisms, cannot protect your secrets – because you've willingly given the key to the intruder.
3) A note on Rights Management and SSL
To use Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management, you need to setup the server to be able to server SSL connections, and configure the callback URL appropriately in the LiveCycle/ADEP Rights Management service configuration.
Note that if the server's SSL certificate specifies external CRLs, you must be able to grant the client application free network access to the CRL's URL – otherwise the connection will fail.
I hope that this article has allowed you to understand the subtle difference between the perceived security tools and actual security features – and most importantly, the fact that if you suspect a user may likely try to do Bad Things with your information, you should not give them the keys to the vault.
My own Rule Number One of security is: "don't trust anyone, not even those you trust." Then add exceptions, based on well-founded assumptions.
— Tai

Medium - Wednesday, February 08, 2006 - linkHey Guys..
I noticed that you didnt tell anything about which ns the ram was, and what brand of ram that the Evga card was using, is it rated at 1.6ns as almost all the other GTX or did they put faster one? :)
Best Regards
Medium Reply
robert5c - Friday, September 02, 2005 - linkFirst off i would just like to say that i was shopping for 7800GTX and i've read most of the separate articles and being able to read an article that is concentrated on one specific product not just the technology helps when shopping, and with your guys great links to prices and price engine you guys are a shoppers dream in my oppinion so i'm glad you guys were able to show me what this card was and why it was better.
anyway i did buy this card, however i'm having some puzzling issues and i'm wondering if i should exchange for a new one or if thats not the problem.
In BF2 i cranked the video settins all the way up, monitor limited to 1600x1200@72hz
however i don't get very great frame rates at these settings...first off after the game loads, and i first start off by picking a spawn/weopon my framerate is incredibly slow, for about a minute after i join after the loader its like this, then after that for the most part the game plays pretty smooth however i still lag here and there and my framerates really bomb during explosions.
i find this really weird considering the framerates you guys get with the same card and settings so i'm woundering if there are things i should check/change or if i might just recieved a slightly defective card.
My computer:
Windows XP PRO SP2, latest nvidia drivers 77.77
Broadband 4Mbps Cable Internet Connection
Intel D925XECV2 MOBO
Intel P4 3.73ghz EE
1 gig ram in dual channel (2x512) DDR2-533
WD Raptor 36gb boot sata HD
WD Caviar 80gb secondary sata HD
485W Power Supply Enermax Noisetaker
LanParty case with stock 2x120mm fans cooling
before i had a gigabyte pci-e 6600GT and could play very well at 1280x1040 with all high except med texture and lighting
any help would be much apperciated Reply
VideoQuasar - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - linkI was going to be interested in how much improvement the 7800 such as this one would be in SpecView or CineBench. Just games...games games!! Do you realise how cheap 600 bucks is for a workstation card. Cater to the kiddies you do, and this card is to expensive for kiddies.
Review rating...incomplete Reply
AtaStrumf - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkDerek I gotta tell that this article reads like a press release, If you know what I mean. Come on, how much praise do an improved heatsink and a few more MHz warrant???
It just get's one thinking it's a paid article, so I think, you might wonna tone it down a bit.
And I agree that all these 7800 GTX reviews do seem kind of weird. I don't really see a need for it. I wonder if it's gonna be the same for a cheaper 7600 GT?! Much more people will actually be interested in that. Reply
AtaStrumf - Saturday, August 13, 2005 - linkUps, I mean Josh.
What, no reply??? Am I correct??? Is this just an advertisement disguised as an article? They have those in paper magazines too, but they at least have a small print somewhere on the page saying so. Reply
DerekWilson - Sunday, August 14, 2005 - linkI'm glad you all are suspicious of site out there -- it means you will test our claims for yourselves, do independant research, and come to your own conclusions. And after doing this it will become abundantly clear that we report only what we see as fact. We don't need small print because what we report isn't for any other purpose than to keep our readers as well informed with good information as possible.
One of the very few things manufactueres can do to distinguish themselves is to invest in cooling technology. The other options are software bundle and warranty. Aside from having the best warranty we've seen, an exemplary customer service record (in our experience), and an upgraded HSF, the EVGA KO has the highest out of the box clock speeds on the market (tied for first with the XFX overclocked 7800 GTX).
Josh didn't gush about this card for any reason other than the fact that it is the best card out there right now. It's really hard to argue with the facts on this one.
The only factor that this card does not lead on is price. There are cheaper 7800 GTX parts out there, our performance tests show pretty clearly just how much faster the EVGA KO is ...
We just call em as we see em around here. Reply
Quiksel - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkDerek (and anyone else who cares),
Am I just on crack, or is it that there has been only one 7800GTX review after another on this site? How much of this chip do we need? I admit that this particular one is pretty neat in it's own way, but isn't there something else out there in the computer world worth reviewing and spending time and effort on?
Certainly it can't be 5 brands of the same video card. Reply
DerekWilson - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - linkWhat if we review all the 7800 GTX cards (and all the brands of all the other cards that come out from now on) as well as all the stuff we reviewed before (and more)? Our intention is to review other graphics solutions as well, we just started with the 7800 GTX.
We realize that quality is more important than quantity. Be assured that adding articles like this won't reduce our quality but will give us more time to focus on researching some very in depth and interesting technology articles. Reviewing one card per week is much faster and easier than doing a roundup, and we are able to spend more time with the individual cards and go into more detail as well. Reply
Quiksel - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - link(1) I understand that taking new tech and reviewing it on launch day, etc., is important. (2) Then comes the mass production of the tech by different manufacturers, so there's a need for the readers to be informed on the differences between the different products. (3) Then there's the difference between the interim releases after the initial launch of the new tech that also need reviewing and explanation. From those three different times of a piece of new tech, I would typically expect 3 articles or so for each piece of said new tech. From my initial post, I have just been surprised that what seems to be happening are lots of reviews centered around the second phase of your review cycle, and so that's why I was asking whether this is really what readers want to see on AT all the time (i.e., $500 graphic cards to oggle and wish a relative would die so that we could afford it)
Can't tell you how weird I felt last night to read the new article about the $3000 desk. I guess it helps to have some off-the-wall review about such a nice piece of desk. But is that really what the readers want to see? More hardware that they can't afford? One poster above me here mentioned that you've lost touch with your readers, and sometimes, I wonder whether you're really just trying to fill a niche that no one else is really pursuing in an effort to either drive the industry in that direction or just cater to a crowd that may or may not even visit here. Who knows. I sure got confused with such an article. These 7800GTX articles have done the same for me.
I don't know what to tell ya to do, because I'm not in your position. But I certainly don't feel as at home on this site as I used to. Am I getting too old to appreciate all this nice shiny new expensive hardware?? :) Reply
OvErHeAtInG - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - linkUh - like they've said and said again - they can either review each one individually as they get them, or wait another month and do a big roundup. Frankly this is better - more in-depth info. I find it interesting and I'm not even in the market for this. Reply
Lineatus - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkI am curious about the effectiveness of the new cooling packaging. I was wondering if you could perform the following test:
1) Derate the clock speed to "normal" that is 430 / 1200.
2) Get the temperature profile.
I am wondering if the 7800 KO will run cooler at "normal" speed with the new cooling vs. a "normal" card running at "normal" speed.
Thanks for the time to put up these reviews, appreciated!
Questar - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - link"As for the prices, it looks like the old EVGA e-GeForce 7800GTX with Battlefield 2 bundle is back down to about $500. This is good news for those on a budget."
WTF? A $500 video card for people on a budget? You have lost touch with your readers. Reply
TrogdorJW - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkRead the next paragraph, Questar.
'"If you are on a budget – if we can call any computer part in the $500+ range 'budget'...." Obviously, they recognize that $500 is still a lot of money to pay for a GPU. Considering the performance relative to the 6800U which cost over $500 until June and is (http://labs.anandtech.com/img/plot/1472_182.png">still running $465), $500 for the performance increase the 7800GTX offers is not at all unreasonable. For budget and mid-range shoppers, it's a problem. I don't think they're really considering this card, though. Reply
Windaria - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkI totally preferred the roundups to the trickle... Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkThe problem with roundups is that they take time. We still don't have all the cards we would want to include. If we had to wait, it'd still be two to three weeks before we would have anything published on available 7800 GTX cards.
As these cards are very expensive, we felt getting as much info out there as soon as possible was important for helping readers make smart choices on how to spend their money. If there's anything we can do to make the series better, let us know. Reply
xtknight - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkThis card owns. It's just under twice as quiet as the BFG card and gets an amazing overclock. Reply
kalniel - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkAnand are right that something screwy is going on with the internal frequencies - Nvidia themselves said it's a bit hard to define an overall clock speed for this card. What gets me is the relatively large increase in performance with just a 10/25mhz overclock - in most cases it seems as much a difference as going from the original eVGA card (a 40/50mhz clock difference). Don't know if some loop is just catching up in time with this extra increase or what. Reply
SpaceRanger - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkYup.. HardOCP had it right when they said that this thing is just an overpriced 7800 GTX because of an old designed TI4600 heatsink in a metal wrapper..
Buying this card is NOT in your best interests.. Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkhardocp and right should not be in same sentance.
hardOCP is going the way of tomshardware (yes thats bad), they constantly pick up little things and go on and on and on about it. Like the Phantom console..i mean good lord did we really need to have that dragged out almost every week on front page? Its like they think everyone cares about it..news flash only you do! make a news blurb saying product is lame and move on! You put stuff like that on front page for days like its big news.
Bless RSS feeds, don't even had to visit hardocp anymore, since they just recap all the hardware news cut and pasted from other sites basicly. Reply
Locut0s - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkThe other thing I hate about HardOCP is that it's politicized. Every once in a while you see some right wing opinion of Kyle's about current events. Now I don't care if the reader is left or right but in my opinion politics needs to stay in the forums of a review site and off the front pages. Reply
rqle - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkI actually enjoy editors views on different issue, doesnt really bother me if it left or right or if i agree or disagree. It seems to make the website more of a discussion and community base site then a boring TECH newspapers. Same way i enjoy Anand blog, his views and how he sees things makes this site a whole lot friendlier . I'll admit, he does avoid certain 'heated' issue or doesnt want to be bother with them and i respect that. If plain tech info is all i want, i would be reading the manufacture website and graphs which get quite boring. Ill have to admit i do think the added heatsink(workable or not) and warranty does make it worth while. Probably going to end up disagreeing with Kyle, to me doesnt make him less of a person. I actually thinks it neat that he does express issue like this big or small. Reply
RaistlinZ - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkHow can you say buying this card is not in your best interest? For those that want BF2 it's a decent buy, and the performance speaks for itself.
These would make a good choice if you plan on running in SLI since you're GUARANTEED that you'll get 490core/1300mem out of the box. Reply
SpaceRanger - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkYou're paying extra and NOT getting BF2... This card sells for 60 bucks more, and all you get is a metal box around an old heatsink design, and no BF2.. Reply
SpaceRanger - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkOhh. Sorry.. unless you have an extra $112 to burn, get the KO BF2 bundle;..
BF2 costs 112 bucks?? I doubt it.. Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkYou forgot to count the premium they charge for the highest clock speed we've tested yet. Out of the box this is the fastest 7800 GTX we've seen. XFX has a card clocked similarly which we will be testing soon.
The EVGA KO with BF2 is now listed as http://labs.anandtech.com/search.php?q=evga+7800">$599 on our pricing engine. The 450/1.2 clocked EVGA with BF2 comes in at $529 making the overclock a $70 cost. Of course $540 could get yout the KO without BF2 now which is only $40 more than the 450/1.2 EVGA.
It's amazing how much prices can change in a day.
Anyway, RAM sinks on the back and a heatsink on the back of the GPU really do seem to make a difference in our overclock tests even if the HSF solution isn't revolutionary as a whole. At least EVGA is doing something different. And as someone who is constantly swapping cards, the fact that the entire pcb is protected is quite an advantage.
In the end it's up to the buyer. But our numbers show the performance advantages (both out of the box and in overclocking). Take it or leave it. Reply
bob661 - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - link
The EVGA KO with BF2 is now listed as $599 on our pricing engine.
You can get it at Monarch for $560 and on ZZF for $579. So I don't understand the price issue here. Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkyou're looking at the wrong product ... you can't find the KO with BF2 for less than 600 ... if you want the KO without BF2 its available for as low as 540 ... Those are the prices at Monarch. ZipZoomFly is more expensive ... I don't know what's up with your price info, but make sure you are looking at the KO version. Reply

Lifted - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkOne of my EVGA 6800GT cards died in 2 months. I had a SLI setup, no more. I'm batting 50/50 with EVGA. You can take your chances with them, not me. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, uh... err... you won't fool me again! Reply
fishbits - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkWhich video card company can we buy from then in which no one has ever had a card go bad? With our combined experiences if we follow that anecdotal standard, I imagine we'll quickly rule out every manufacturer.
Granted if I bought a particular brand of card and it went bad, I might personally go with another brand the next time out. But I wouldn't pretend that an isolated incident reflected on everything they have made and ever will, then start claiming that I was "fooled" on forums. As tight as margins are in this business, any manufacturer who truly shipped out junk would be out of business in no time. Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, August 09, 2005 - linkWith their new lifetime warranty you don't have to worry about that anymore.
Sorry for your loss however ... Reply

When you get right down to it, fear is probably the biggest
obstacle to marketing success for most professionals. No one likes
rejection and if you plan to ask anyone for business or referrals,
the odds are very high you will experience a significant amount of
rejection. In sales, for example, it may take 15 phone calls to
reach five prospects which may result in two meetings. In other
words, you may have to experience 13 rejections just to get two
And even if you get two meetings with potential clients or
referral sources, it still may take 20 meetings to generate a
significant piece of work. So if you do the math, you may need to
make 150 phone calls or send 150 e-mail messages in order to set up
those meetings.
That may seem like a daunting number. While that number will
vary a lot based on the type of practice you have and the quality
of the relationships you call upon, the bottom line is that in
order to build a practice, you have to prepare yourself for a lot
of rejection.
So what are some of the strategies you can use to soften the
blow of the unanswered e-mails and phone calls? Here are some

How to Throw a Single Gals' Valentine's Day Party
Get your girlfriends together and make the most of February 14 by setting up a festive dessert bar.
So what if you don't have a sweetheart to celebrate Valentine's Day with this year? There's no need to boycott the holiday, wear all black, and give hostile looks to all of the couples you see on February 14.
Take advantage of all that the holiday of love has to offer by throwing yourself and all your single girlfriends a sweet party. Amy Atlas of Amy Atlas Events in New York City has some great ideas for putting together a celebration your friends won't soon forget. What will be the focal point of your soiree that sets it apart from all the rest? Why, a dessert bar, of course.
When Amy started her boutique firm in 2008, she relied on the unique and fun qualities of a dessert bar to drive her business. "While desserts are the thing that leave guests with their last impression, no one was doing anything special with them," she says. "I recognized this and started to create stylized dessert bars at my parties."
Although it takes Amy a week and a team of 4-15 people to conceptualize, build, and decorate her one-of-a-kind dessert bars, yours doesn't have to be as complicated. Here are some quick and easy steps to pulling off a great (and inexpensive) Valentine's Day dessert bar:
1. Pick a color scheme.
While an obvious color scheme for Valentine's Day would be pink, red, and white, you can veer from the traditional colors. Amy finds inspiration in wallpaper patterns, party invitations, or even treasured items that have a special meaning to a client. When you choose a color scheme, make sure you like it – you'll be basing everything else on this first step.
2. Prepare the goodies.
You can make the dessert items yourself, buy them from the supermarket or bakery, ask your guests to bring some, or do a combination of all three. The key is that each dessert should relate to your theme and reflect your color scheme. For your V-Day bash, Amy suggests mini pink and red cupcakes, pink heart-shaped cookies (this Wilton Red Metal Heart Cookie Cutter from amazon.com, $10.44, will come in handy), pink and red truffles, fluffy strawberry marshmallows, and pink and red candy. The benefit of making items yourself, of course, is that you can decide how cute, detailed, and impressive each dessert will be.

Holiday Gifts Galore for the Conservationist on Your List
AUSTIN, Texas — If you're fresh out of holiday gift ideas for your eco-minded cousin or that relative who would rather spend his or her spare time in the woods, on the lake or at a state park, or even for yourself, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department invites you to shop the outdoors.
How about customizing your "sled" with one of TPWD's four conservation license plates to show your affinity for wildflowers, horned lizards, largemouth bass or white-tailed deer? A portion of every $30 license plate goes to support state parks, wildlife diversity, state fishing programs and research, and wildlife management and research. Since their inception, the conservation license plates have generated more than $4 million in sales for Texas land and water conservation initiatives.
Help support TPWD conservation efforts while adding to your art collection by purchasing the 2008 collector's edition of hunting and fishing stamps. The collection sells for $21.65 and includes six different stamps designed by noted wildlife artists.
And what self-respecting conservationist would want to be without a subscription to the state's premier outdoors publication for more than 50 years, Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine. Go online to see special offers, including two gift subscriptions for $20 that includes choice of either a "Go Fish Texas" map or "Texas Saltwater & Freshwater Fish Pocket I.D. Guide." Teachers receive a special $9.95 annual subscription rate to foster outreach to the state's increasingly urbanized school populations.
Other featured products this year on TPWD's "Shop the Outdoors" Web page include "Life's Better Outside" bumper stickers, maps of the Texas Wildlife and Great Texas Coastal Birding trails, a colorful Hummingbird Wheel featuring the 16 species documented in Texas and nine different videos of programs produced for the Texas Parks & Wildlife television show on PBS.
TPWD's online gift shop also offers colorful posters from the past 17 Texas Wildlife Expos held each fall in Austin for only $10 each. Or for that special saltwater angler on your shopping list, pick up the "Saltwater Fishes of Texas" poster, or one of Sea Center Texas' posters featuring a spotted sea trout or redfish. Freshwater fishing aficionados may prefer the "Freshwater Fishes of Texas" or the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center's largemouth bass poster. All posters sell for under $20.
After shopping for everyone else on your holiday list, why not buy something special for yourself. You can purchase a Lifetime Super Combo License for $1,800 that will allow you to hunt and fish in Texas without ever having to buy another license or stamp. Lifetime licenses solely for hunting or fishing also are available for purchase. Call 1-800-792-1112, option 9, for requirements and processing time for licenses.

appartement très bien situé, on peut rayonner facilement à pied, en bus ou en train. Equipement complet . Piscine et jacuzzi peu utiles en juillet ! Nous y avons passé deux séjours de 3 jours très agréables. Seul point négatif c'est un peu bruyant.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
Apartment very well located, the whole town can be done on foot
The downside is that this is the same street is very busy and noisy at night.
The pool and rooftop jacuzzi its a real plus
Everything conforms to the description on the website (missing a few dishes when we are still 5)
I highly recommend
Appartement très bien situé, toute la ville peut se faire à pied
L'inconvénient c'est que de ce fait la rue est très passagère et bruyante même la nuit.
La piscine et le jacuzzi sur le toit son un réel plus
Tout est conforme à la description faite sur le site (manque un peu de vaisselle quand même lorsqu'on est 5)
Je recommande vivement
Thank you for the great apartment. It has a great location to public transportation. Everything you need is available (great kitchen, washer, dryer, balcony, ...). The rooftop pool is awesome. Here you have a beautiful view. On the way to the station you pass a supermarket. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. Would highly recommend it and would like to stay here again at any time. Again a big thank you to Peter, keep it up.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Apartment. Es hat eine super Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden (tolle Küche, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Balkon, …). Der Pool auf dem Dach ist genial. Hier hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Auf dem Weg zur Bahn kommt man an einem Supermarkt vorbei. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und gepflegt. Kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde hier jederzeit wieder übernachten wollen. Nochmal ein großer Danke an Peter, weiter so.
The apartment was great, the views of the Sydney skyline from the balcony simply stunning! Key collection (pick up at the reception of a hotel) worked without problems.
The apartment itself is decorated very spacious and comfortable, modern and chic 4 adults, only the baths date back to an earlier era ... would be renovated. Very good beds, air conditioning works great. We would come back!
Das Apartment war toll, der Blick auf die Skyline von Sydney vom Balkon einfach atemberaubend! Die Schlüsselübergabe (Abholung am Empfang eines Hotels) funktionierte unproblematisch.
Das Apartment selbst ist für 4 Erwachsene sehr geräumig und komfortabel, modern und chic eingerichtet, nur die Bäder stammen noch aus einer älteren Ära... müssten mal renoviert werden. Sehr gute Betten, Klimaanlage funktioniert hervorragend. Wir würden wiederkommen!
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.
It was magical beautiful! The Quartier 88 Dowlingstreet the 4th floor was fantastic.
The view over the botanical garden to the skyline and down to the Bridge and the Opera House. The location was great, walking in a few minutes in the Botanical Gardens, yet quiet. Also near some gems, like the Tilburyhotel the hidden rooftop garden. Finger wharf with the fine restaurants ..
Within walking distance also equal to the King Cross station on the Butler stairs.
We found the neighborhood to get to know ideal for a family to Sydney. We stayed 2 weeks there and no day was boring. Also the Museum of NSW, the Park at Government House, the garden at all! Wonderful !!! Through the park it was also the same walk in the Rocks, so middle of the action. The apartment itself clean, spacious, well equipped with washer and dryer, and the kitchen very well. The beds super, 2 lovely bedrooms, a very tasteful living-dining room, 2 bathrooms. Heart and tired tourists after the trip what you want more!
Everything was phantastic, we loved it! Thank you !!
Es war zauberschön! Das Quartier 88 Dowlingstreet im 4. Stock war phantastisch.
Der Blick über den botanischen Garten zur Skyline und bis hinunter zur Bridge und dem Opernhaus. Die Lage super, zu Fuß in ein paar Minuten im Botanischen Garten, trotzdem ruhig. Auch in der Nähe einige Perlen, wie das Tilburyhotel mit dem versteckten Dachgarten. Fingermans wharf mit den feinen Restaurants..
Zu Fuß auch gleich an der Bahnstation Kingscross über die Butlerstreppe.
Wir fanden das Quartier ideal für eine Familie um Sydney kennenzulernen. Wir waren 2 Wochen da und kein Tag war langweilig. Auch das Museum of NSW, der Park beim Governmentshouse, der Garten überhaupt! Wunderbar!!! Durch den Park war man aber auch gleich zu Fuß in the Rocks, also mitten im Trubel. Die Wohnung selbst gepflegt, geräumig, gut ausgestattet mit Waschmaschine und Trockner, auch die Küche sehr gut. Die Betten super, 2 schöne Schlafzimmer, ein sehr geschmackvolles Wohn-Eßzimmer, 2 Bäder. Herz und müder Urlauber nach dem Ausflug was willst Du mehr!
Everything was phantastic, we loved it! Thank you!!
The stay was comfortable & the location was very convenient. Thanks Peter :)
The apartment is in a good position, near the metro station, on bus routes, just a few minutes walk from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Botanic Gardens and Central Station. Comfortable and well equipped though a bit dated. The weather was cold and the heating took a long time to warm the apartment up. The weather also meant we weren't able to take advantage of the large balcony. During our stay the hotel pool area was being refurbished but I'm sure it will be a great asset. There was nowhere to leave luggage after checking out, the hotel staff were friendly but we weren't treated as guests. There is a Thai restaurant on the ground floor which was very good.
no problem! Good stay!

Miller, Molina get Cards started out right in DC
WASHINGTON -- The Cardinals' series opener against the Nationals was hardly dripping with the drama that encompassed the last meeting between these two clubs in the 2012 National League Division Series. But just as they did the last time they took the field at Nationals Park, the Cards escaped with a victory.
Monday's 3-2 win, which came in front of a crowd of 27,263, was highlighted by another stellar effort from rookie right-hander Shelby Miller. After being outdueled by Pittsburgh's A.J. Burnett in his first start on this 10-game road trip, Miller answered with his third straight quality start, and joined teammates Lance Lynn and Adam Wainwright with his third win of the season.
A beleaguered bullpen stepped up, too, preserving the one-run lead over the final 2 1/3 innings.
"That's huge," Miller said of the team's second one-run win this year. "Those are the really big games that you have to get. Those are good wins for us as a team."
It was a win earned by Miller and saved by the bullpen, which didn't buckle under late-inning pressure. Joe Kelly, who had been recently buried in the bullpen, closed the seventh with an assist from center fielder Jon Jay. Trevor Rosenthal threw a 98-mph fastball past Ian Desmond to strand a pair of runners in scoring position in the eighth. And Edward Mujica, who tiptoed around trouble last Thursday in Philadelphia to collect his first save of the season, earned his second without introducing any unnecessary intrigue.
"I'm just trying to be ready for whatever situation and pick up my teammates," Mujica said. "[Since] the first save, I am just preparing my mind for the ninth inning. That's where they are using me right now."
Miller positioned the bullpen for redemption by hardly deviating from his bread-and-butter fastball all evening. He let the aggressiveness of Washington's lineup play into his ability to elevate the fastball with success, and the deceiving late life on the pitch had the Nationals struggling to make solid contact with it.
The fastball was working so well for Miller, in fact, that he didn't throw a single changeup in his 98-pitch effort. The right-hander estimated that he mixed in only 10-15 curveballs.
"Obviously, they have a really good lineup over there, but I faced them in the spring and I know that they'll swing at the ball up," Miller said. "That's definitely one of my out pitches, going up in the zone. I guess you could say it's one of my weapons. … It's a tough lineup, so it was a good test for me."
"You can't go out there and try to teach someone deception," added manager Mike Matheny. "The ball just comes out of his hand a little different. They see it's pretty straight. It's not 105 miles per hour. But they have trouble catching up to it. That's deception and that's late life."
Miller struck out five Washington batters during his first turn through the batting order and didn't allow a hit until the fourth. It could have been argued, too, that the leadoff single should not have been ruled as such, as Allen Craig was seemingly in position to corral Pete Kozma's one-hop throw to first base. Craig was handcuffed, though, when the ball clipped the edge of the grass.
The inability to record an out on the play came back to sting St. Louis when, with two outs, Miller allowed consecutive run-scoring doubles to Ian Desmond and Anthony Rendon. That evened the game at 2, erasing the lead Craig provided with his own two-out double an inning earlier.
The Cardinals inched back in front in the sixth when, after Matt Holliday was hit in the arm leading off the inning, Carlos Beltran and Yadier Molina strung together singles, Molina's plating the go-ahead run off Nationals starter Dan Haren. The first four hitters of the inning reached base, setting the Cardinals up for a big frame that never did come to fruition.
The Cardinals' chances to keep tacking on were first sapped by Jay, who grounded into a base-loaded double play, 3-2-3. The inning then ended when Miller went down swinging with the bases again full.
The Cardinals were fortunate that the additional runs would not turn out to be needed. After serving up the fourth-inning doubles, Miller didn't allow another baserunner until the seventh.
"He's great," Craig said. "He just goes right after guys and throws strikes. He works fast. It's a lot of fun to watch."
When Miller got himself into trouble in the seventh, Kelly and Jay -- neither of whom has had much in the way of season highlights -- bailed the rookie starter out.
Kelly, in just his second appearance since April 7, entered with two out to face pinch-hitter Chad Tracy, who sent a soft liner to right-center. Jay kept the tying run from scoring by making a sliding basket catch.
"I'm just happy I was able to contribute," Jay said. "I got a pretty good jump on it. I said, 'Somehow this ball has to be caught.' I'm glad I was able to make the play."
Though the save would eventually go to Mujica, credit Rosenthal with maneuvering his way through the toughest part of Washington's order in the eighth. Two baserunners reached before Rosenthal struck out five-hole hitter Desmond to strand the potential tying run at third.
"That's the situation I want to be in… the game on the line," Desmond said. "He just got me out today."
A Cardinals bullpen that entered the night with a 5.51 ERA then welcomed an uneventful ninth. It marked the first 1-2-3 ninth the Cardinals have had in a save situation this season. Mujica is now 2-for-2 in save chances since stepping into the closer's role.
"It was perfect for what we needed today," Matheny said. "We needed he and Rosey both to come out and give us a chance to hold that small lead."

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a long-term illness
that makes it hard to breathe. When you have COPD, air does not flow easily

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/12/2012 (1708 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A jury took a mandatory life sentence off the table when they ruled Robert Prince didn't deliberately stab a man to death.
Now the convicted Winnipeg killer is asking a judge to give him an early shot at freedom, arguing he should only be sentenced to three more years in prison in addition to time already served.
Prince, 46, was convicted of manslaughter earlier this year. A jury found him not guilty of the more serious charge of second-degree murder.
He returned to court Tuesday for sentencing, where defence lawyer Ryan Amy requested a total five-year sentence on paper, less time already served. The Crown is seeking another seven years behind bars in addition to pre-trial custody.
Queen's Bench Justice Robert Dewar has reserved his decision until Jan. 9.
Darryl John Sinclair, 45, suffered fatal injuries during the January 2011 incident. Prince didn't deny killing Sinclair by slashing his throat. But he argued the attack was a tragic accident, a position the jury clearly accepted in finding him guilty of the reduced charge.
Jurors heard that trouble began when Sinclair and his girlfriend joined Prince for a night of drinking inside a Manitoba Housing apartment highrise at 269 Dufferin Ave., where all three lived. Sinclair wanted to leave the gathering at Prince's suite, but his girlfriend did not, court was told. Sinclair then struck the woman in the face before fleeing. That's when Prince grabbed a knife, followed Sinclair into the hallway and attacked him with the single stab wound.
"He acted on the sudden, before his passions had cooled," Amy told jurors in his closing arguments. "If he meant to kill, why did he allow (the victim) to walk away? Why didn't he, pardon the crassness, finish the job?"
Police found Sinclair collapsed in a pool of blood in a stairwell after one of the other tenants in the building called police.


text: JLW 302 Report post Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Long before I wanted to be a game designer, I wanted to be a writer. And, in fact, was a writer. I wrote a number of short stories, and got mostly positive feedback for them. I know my strength as a writer lies in my characters and settings, and I imagine that once I make the transition to visual media, namely video games, this will remain the same. I've always written deep, convincing characters who were developed enough (even in stories as short as a couple pages) that the reader could understand their actions and begin to see how they worked. My settings, similarly, have always been detailed and have held my readers' interest quite well. The only universal comments from my readers have been "I'd like to know more about this setting," "I want to see this setting" and "are you going to do more in this setting?" And settings are the fun part for me. That's most of the reason I wanted to do game design, in particular, as making my settings interactive is the best way for me to let people explore them, and all the people I've had read more than one story said I should do some form of visual media because my settings would be interesting to see. But that's where my strengths end. I'm decent enough at writing stories, it's not my strongest suit but I am still competent. The rest falls flat. My sense of humour is strange and grim to the point of turning a few softer readers off and prompting comments on me being "sick." When I write a story with a moral message (I used to do this a lot) it's either too heavy handed and turns the reader off the discussion I'm trying to turn them on to or it's too subtle and is missed entirely. My social, political, cultural and legal commentary falls under this as well. Often, rather than writing to make a statement I write to raise a question, but this brings a new issue as the question I am trying to raise tends to sail over my reader's head. While a lot of this should get easier in a visual media, I'm not entirely sure and I KNOW I need to work on these things. Well, not the humour part. My sense of humour is not going to change. So I'd like to ask writers that are strong in these areas for advice, especially when it comes to writing in games. In particular, on delivering moral messages as well as social, political and legal commentary with the right level of subtlety and making complex philosophical points comprehensible to those who are not as erudite as I am. I'd like to be able to lead them to a question, usually about a viewpoint that is commonly held and I disagree with, and give it to them in a context that will provide them a counterbalance for their likely bias and hopefully get them to think about it rather than immediately throwing it away. I can't let them know what I'm doing or they'll stick their head in the sand but I can't let them miss the question entirely or it might as well not have been brought up in the first place. I've never been able to get the balance right, and if any of you have I would like to hear from you on the matter.

THE new Archdeacon of York has said she is "thrilled" to be taking on the role and said she wants to help churches in the city become "more generous".
The Reverend Canon Sarah Bullock, Rector of St Edmund, Whalley Range and St James' with St Clement in Moss Side, Manchester, will succeed the Venerable Richard Seed, who retired last October.
She has been appointed by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, and said: "I'll be encouraging churches in the Archdeaconry of York to continue to grow and become more generous churches which help one another and their communities.
"I'll be helping the churches particularly with their buildings, finance and legal matters and serving them as best I can. I'll miss Manchester and parish life greatly, but it's a real honour to be able to serve the people in the Diocese of York and I look forward to getting to know them."
Canon Bullock studied for the priesthood in Durham and was ordained in 1993. Since 2009, she has been Bishop's Advisor for Women's Ministry in the Diocese of Manchester, and a Canon of Manchester Cathedral since 2007.
Between 2010 and 2012, she was Dean of the City and Borough of Manchester, where she sought to promote the civic role of the Church of England through greater links with the public, private, voluntary and community sectors. Since last April, she has also been Area Dean of Hulme, and is a member of the General Synod of the Church of England.
Canon Bullock is married to Peter, a physics teacher, and they have a son Joseph. The date when she will begin her role as Archdeacon of York will be announced shortly.
Dr Sentamu said: "Sarah is a very gifted priest with a wide range of experience, and she has a lively and engaging faith coupled with a wise pastoral attitude which means she will be a great asset.
"I pray for Sarah and her family that they will settle quickly on this side of the Pennines, and that together we will be delighted by what we see God doing in the Diocese of York."
Did you know?
Within a Church of England Diocese, Archdeacons have responsibility for church buildings and the pastoral welfare of clergy and their families, as well as implementing diocesan policy.

FRESH fruit and veg straight from Spitalfields traders will be on sale at a new greengrocers in Chelmsford.
The store, simply called The Greengrocers, opened their doors for the first time last week at the Writtle Road Nursery.
On the shelves will be fruit and vegetables bought on the day to ensure good quality and freshness from the famous Spitalfields market in London every morning.
Jodie Simmons has started up the shop to offer people in Chelmsford an outlet to buy these products from somewhere else other than a supermarket.
She is also following in the steps of her relatives who have a greengrocing heritage.
Mrs Simmons said: "My family have been in the greengrocer industry for 40 years and my father, who is retired now, used to run stalls around Norfolk.
"One of my brother's now runs his own stalls while another brother of mine works at Spitalfields so you could say it is in my blood.
"We just want to offer shoppers the chance to come into a shop where they can buy food which they know is fresh and bought on the day rather than stuff covered in plastic in a supermarket.
"There are plenty of people who want to make sure their families are eating quality produce and that is what we are offering here."
Doors will be open at the shop from Thursday to Sunday every week and a service is being set up for free home deliveries in Chelmsford for orders worth £10 or more.

I was struck last night at the British Fashion Awards by Samantha Cameron's appearance to present the New Establishment award to Erdem Moralioglu (that's them, below). This marks Mrs C's third time at the awards — she's actually officially an "ambassador" for UK fashion — a record that is unequalled by any First Lady in any other country; certainly, any other country where fashion represents a meaningful part of industrial exports. So here's what I wonder: why hasn't Mrs Cameron had more impact on fashion? Or rather, on the global perception of UK fashion?

Last week I was cooking a pork steak for one but wanted to do something different, so I decided to give stuffing it a try.
I cut up some mushrooms and Swiss cheese for the filling.
Stuffing the steak turned out to be a little trickier than I anticipated. I cut a small access hole on each side of the bone and then worked the knife around inside to get decent pockets, but because pork steak has lots of connective tissue and usually isn't a single solid piece of meat the results didn't come out as neat as I was hoping for.
Then it was off to the grill for indirect cooking until it felt reasonably firm to the touch. The filling did leak a little but most of it stayed inside; the small dots are pieces of cheese that were on top of the steak.
Tastewise it was actually pretty good and it was plenty moist from the cheese and marbling, but a single chop would've worked a lot better. Still, it was worth a try.

Australian shares have posted their highest close of the year, elevated by rising commodities prices as investors bet on fresh economic stimulus from the US Federal Reserve this week.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index rose 18.1 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 3576, its highest close since July last year.
But volumes were thinning heading into the Christmas break, with turnover at 80 per cent of the 90-day average.
The resource sector led gains, with top miners BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto advancing 1.3 per cent and 0.8 per cent respectively as iron ore prices jumped.
"It seems the Christmas rally (in commodities prices) is about getting ahead of the FOMC meeting and staying ahead of any potential Chinese stimulus early next year," said Ben Taylor, sales trader at CMC Markets.
The US Federal Reserve holds a two-day policy meeting this week, and analysts expect it to announce monthly bond purchases of $US45 billion, on top of the $US40 billion in mortgage-backed security purchases it announced in September.
Spot iron ore prices on Tuesday rose to their highest level since July, backed by buying from top importer China.
That helped Fortescue gain 4 per cent and mid-tier iron ore miner Atlas Iron jump 9.8 per cent to $1.52.
Lend Lease shares rose 2.2 per cent after the company said it was selected as preferred bidder for a $1 billion revamp of Sydney's Darling Harbour convention centre and entertainment centres.
Shares in engineering firm Downer EDI jumped 5.2 per cent to $3.65 after the company reached a negotiated settlement on a Singapore tunnel dispute and agreed to pay $S50 million.
Linc Energy told the Australian Stock Exchange in response to a query it had no explanation for the 17.5 per cent surge in its shares today. Linc said it has provided updates on its Carmichael coal project and clean energy technology in recent days.
Investors shied away from recent strong gains for high-yielding stocks, sending Telstra down 0.7 per cent. It was the most actively traded stock.

MP for Leeds North West, Greg Mulholland, co-hosted a reception in Westminster to celebrate the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire in two weeks' time.
As co-chairman of the parliamentary Tour de France group, Mulholland gave the opening speech at the reception which was attended by MPs, volunteers, businesses, and children from areas the Tour de France will be passing through.
He then handed over to Deputy Prime Minister and fellow Yorkshire MP, Nick Clegg, whose constituency is also along the race route. Speeches were then rounded off by CEO of Welcome to Yorkshire, Gary Verity.
Also attending the reception were constituents from Otley, Joseph Cullen and his 11-year-old son Daniel, both of whom got the chance to meet and have their photo taken with the Deputy Prime Minister.
Daniel had earlier in the day taken part in and won a Leeds primary school TDF cycle race at Temple Newsam, receiving a congratulatory round of applause from all attendees when Mr Mulholland mentioned it in his speech.
After the reception, Greg said: "The reception was a great opportunity to get volunteers and organisers together and celebrate the upcoming Tour de France. I would like to thank all the volunteers for helping to support this fantastic event. I would also like to thank Gary Verity and the rest of the Welcome to Yorkshire team, and Sir Rodney Walker, Nicky Roche and the Tour de France team. Without all their hard work and support the Grand Départ and the Tour de Yorkshire will not be the success that I'm sure it will be.
"We must follow up the success of the Tour de France by ensuring a cycling legacy in Yorkshire is secured. We need to encourage more people to take up cycling, whether for leisure or for travelling to work. Increased investment in cycling infrastructure here in Leeds is definitely needed, and I will continue to campaign for more cycle lanes and safer cycling."
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire said: "It was a terrific event for the people of Yorkshire who have worked so hard to make the dream of staging the Grand Départ a reality, and great to see all the cycling clubs, businesses and young people who are involved in the build up to the race.
"We are grateful to the Deputy Prime Minister for taking time out of his busy schedule to host us and we look forward to welcoming him to Yorkshire for the Grand Départ."
