TPWD Passes Changes to Hunting, Fishing Regulations
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has adopted a series of changes to state hunting and fishing regulations that offer greater harvest flexibility on lands managed for mule deer and prairie chickens, while simplifying and expanding hunting opportunity in other areas.
Based on the department's popular Managed Lands Deer Permit program that provides incentives to individuals that conduct habitat improvement projects on their property for the benefit white-tailed deer, the commission approved similar opportunities for mule deer and prairie chickens.
The new voluntary habitat-based permit programs offer landowners with an approved wildlife management plan greater flexibility in managing mule deer harvest. Permit holders could hunt from the first Saturday in November through the first Sunday in January.
A similar measure addressing long-term habitat loss impacting lesser prairie chicken populations allows a limited harvest option for properties with a wildlife management plan geared toward this species. Under the new regulation, hunting during the two-day season will occur only on managed properties in the program. There will be a two bird daily bag limit and properties in the program will have a harvest recommendation.
Another proposal offering incentives for quail management was withdrawn from consideration pending further discussion with constituent groups, landowners, hunters and other interested parties.
Among the prominent changes in hunting regulations adopted by the commission is a continuation and expansion of special buck-deer harvest regulations in 21 counties. For the 2005-06 hunting season, the department is adding a second buck to the bag limit in counties with the special antler restrictions. Those hunters will be allowed to take two bucks, but at least one must possess an unbranched antler.
In another move, the commission has simplified antlerless white-tailed deer hunting by consolidating the seven different options currently in place across the state into just three standard doe day categories. Hunters are urged to check the county specific hunting rules for these changes in the upcoming 2005-2006 Outdoor Annual, available in August.
The commission also eliminated the aggregate buck-bag restriction in one-buck and two-buck counties. The new regulation allows hunters to take a buck in any three different one-buck-only counties or they could hunt in multiple two-buck counties, provided they do not exceed the county bag limit or take more than three bucks in all the two-buck counties combined.
In addition to deer, the commission adopted regulation changes simplifying turkey hunting. The fall Rio Grande season has been consolidated and standardized to run concurrent with the general deer season. The spring season for Rio Grande turkeys will open the Saturday closest to April 1, 2006 for 44 consecutive days and the eastern turkey season will run April 1-30, 2006. The commission also opened fall and spring seasons for Rio Grande turkey in Cameron and Zapata counties, and a fall season in Tarrant County.
The commission also adopted rules prohibiting hunting by remote control. This issue centers on the use of Internet technology as it relates to the taking of game animals and game birds. The new provision requires any person hunting a game animal or game bird to be physically present and personally operate the means of take.
Several fishing regulation changes were also adopted by the commission, including a change in harvest regulations for red drum on Lake Nasworthy from the current 20-inch minimum length limit and daily bag limit of three fish, to no length and no bag limit to allow for maximized harvest of red drum.
In addition, the commission passed rules defining the North and South Arms of the Concho River to eliminate confusion about fishing regulations. The waters affected include the North Concho from O.C. Fisher Dam to Bell Street Dam and South Concho from Lone Wolf Dam to Bell Street Dam that are covered by special regulations for blue and channel catfish (no minimum length limit and pole and line only angling) and where statewide regulations (12-inch minimum length limit and no gear restrictions) are in effect along the South Concho above Lone Wolf dam.
Also, on Toledo Bend Reservoir the commission voted to remove the 12-inch minimum length limit for spotted bass to make it concurrent with the statewide limit and one being considered by the State of Louisiana.
Because of concerns about the vulnerability of certain live mollusks and other inter-tidal species to over-harvest, the commission also established a closed season along a small area of South Padre Island including the Brazos Santiago Pass and running on the bayward side of the island to Marisol Drive from Nov. 1 through April 30. The closure is designed to protect species such as hermit crabs, starfish, sea urchins and periwinkles. The new rule also establishes a daily bag limit of 15 univalve snails in aggregate and no more than two each in the daily bag of lightening whelk, horse conch, Florida fighting conch, pear whelk, banded tulip and Florida rocksnail.

Long Beach constructs 12-foot wall from mulch to reduce noise and visual pollution of Terminal Island Freeway. The project cost $150,000.
Evidently, mulch covers more than dirt. Long Beach used the stuff to reduce noise and unsightly trucks along the heavily traveled Terminal Island Freeway. The Great Wall of Mulch rises 12 feet high, is 3 feet wide, and extends 600 feet — the length of Hudson Park on the West Side. The total project cost $150,000.
"The Great Wall of Mulch demonstrates how the City of Long Beach continues to strive for more innovative and unique solutions for environmental issues, including reducing the level of noise from the freeway," said Mayor Bob Foster.

Choosing a stunning party location like New York City's The Glasshouses (shown here) lets you spend less on decor, because you won't need to haul in lots of trimmings to dress it up.
Juicy Colors
Cowie picked big, bold shades of hot pink and coral to star in this loft cocktail party. He balanced them with lots of white and layered in different tones and patterns, so the result looked modern, not overwhelming.
Splended Tables
Cowie opted for pedestal tables, which, because they're not meant for hours of lingering, encourage people to mingle. Every third one got a fringed skirt, attached to the rental table-cloth with double-sided tape. (Create your own "fringe" with wide satin ribbon.)
"Island White" sofa and ottoman and "Olivier" side table (for rent); both, Taylor Creative. Pedestal tables, Chiavari bar stools, and white, hot pink, and coral tablecloths; all, Party Rental. Custom orange fringe table skirts, from $150, Circle Visual. White "DIOD" glasses (used as vases for carnations), $1.99 each, IKEA. Rug, Pottery Barn.

Isn't his name Kim Young Guk? HuangLee 03:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
It's Kim Young Guk.Not Young-Guk Kim.It says Young Guk Kim in the police database,but it says it in that order.So,unless we're doing characters by surname that's invalid info. HuangLee 02:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Done. A-Dust 03:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks,dude.I knew it was the wrong name. HuangLee 03:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Errors in names of Father and Son
First of all, we can know that Kim is surname with Niko's dialogue:"Where's Kim?(in mission "Dining Out")" And their name is Kim Young-Guk and Park Young-Guk.
In (both of North and South) Korean naming, Kim and Park is surname, not first name.
And how can be they're father and son with that name? Is Rockstar think that they sharing surname like Young-Guk?
You need to know about naming of Korea. There's specific something in naming. It's 'common syllable'. For example:
Kim Young-Guk[Father] → Kim Young-(something) or Kim (something)-Guk[Son] (common syllable can be second character or third in korean)
And that used in Father and Daughter, between brother or sister too. --Mr.Korean 05:14, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- They messed up on Chinese names, too (like Chan Jaoming and Hsin Jaoming). I guess it's intentional because it's a recurring mistake. Maybe they are trying to make their names as viewed from a westerner perspective.--Spaceeinstein 06:52, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Rockstar has no idea on how names work outside of America. Both European and Asian names are messed up. Though let's just leave it like this, the LCPD database in GTA IV shows that Young-Guk is his surname, Kim is his first name and Derrick's second mission says Park is his father's name. Master Sima Yi 07:29, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Like Ivan Bytchkov(Bitch)? And they messed up pronunciation, Mikhail Faustin(Original Pronunciation is [Mihail], but characters are pronounce likes [Michail]). --Mr.Korean 11:48, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
I doubt that Rockstar "has no idea" about this. It's too major to overlook. They definitely have people who speak these languages because there are full advertisements in Chinese and Spanish correctly translated (they have Russian ads too but I don't know if they're correctly translated). Pedestrians in Chinatown do say the correct dialogue in Chinese. So there should be a reason why Rockstar chose to name the characters the way they did because it's such a major thing.--Spaceeinstein 00:31, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
- I think the main reasons they made the names like this is so to avoid coincidence with real life people. They changed around the order and format of characters names so that, in the event that there was a real (well known) person with that same name, Rockstar would not run in to legal problems or appear like they are copying names from famous people. For example, if there happened to be a famous Korean person named Kim Young-Guk, Rockstar could just say "no, we didn't copy his name, because in our game Young-Guk is his surname as opposed to given name." LyHungViet 12:10, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
Kim's look-a-like
When I was once playing, I saw in Cerveza Heights a Rancher. Inside, the passenger was looking indentical to Kim - goatee and a green & black shirt. However I just passed the mission where he was killed. I know that it's just coincindence that the game spawned his ped model inside the Rancher which he uses during Babysitting, but isn't that weird? Lolz.

Beveled the ends with a disk sander and roughed the mating surfaces too. Glued the DMT to the home made blank with Gorilla fast set glue. So far so good. I'm thinking about getting some balsa from the hobby shop and making some strops from the left over materials.
Paradox wrote:Thanks. I was really pleased with the way it came out. It works much better too. You can get the DMT 6 inch plates in a single sided version for about $27 ea. I didn't find the practice of using the friction of the EP stone holder to hold in the un-mounted plate to be satisfactory at all. It would slip out on me frequently. I have a Pro model and the stones are held in with spring tension and it just didn't make it for me.

Hamilton becomes youngest Red to steal 50 bases
CINCINNATI -- Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton added another remarkable feat to an already impressive rookie campaign.
In the fourth inning of Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Cubs, the speedster stole his 50th base of the season, swiping third with two outs and later scoring on a single by Brandon Phillips.
At 23 years old, Hamilton is the youngest player in Reds history, and ninth overall, to steal 50 or more bases in a season, joining Bob Bescher (1909-12), Dode Paskert (1910), Bobby Tolan (1970), Joe Morgan (1972-76), Dave Collins (1980), Eric Davis (1986-87), Barry Larkin (1995) and Deion Sanders (1997). Tolan and Davis (in '86) were 24 when they stole 50.
"It feels great. That's just what I like to do is steal bases, and I got a chance tonight," Hamilton said. "I knew I had 49, but not knowing what comes behind the 50 steals. So it was pretty good to get."
Hamilton said he's become a better baserunner since getting to the big leagues, even though he leads the Majors in number of times caught stealing (19) and set a Minor League record by stealing 155 bases between Class A Advanced Bakersfield and Double-A Pensacola in 2012.
"I got caught last year less in the Minor Leagues, but that was more off of just going and not knowing the situation, not really caring who was batting or what the situation was," Hamilton said. "It was just running. ... It's mainly about learning the situation now."
"It's certainly a bonus for us," Reds manager Bryan Price said of what Hamilton has brought to the club with his speed. "We didn't have a ton of team speed last year. This is an added dimension to our offense. It's extremely exciting."
Hamilton is four stolen bases away from equaling the franchise's rookie record of 54, set by Bescher in 1909. The all-time single-season franchise record is 81, also set by Bescher in 1911.
But while Hamilton used to set a goal for how many bases he wanted to steal in a given season, that's no longer the case.
"After I got to the big leagues, I stopped doing that," he said. "Usually my goal was: every level in the Minor Leagues I wanted to double what I had the following season. When I got to last year, I stopped that; I just wanted to come here, learn and get better and see what happens."
Continuing to build a strong candidacy to earn the National League Rookie of the Year Award, Hamilton entered Wednesday's contest leading all NL rookies in RBIs (44), multi-hit games (34), runs (66), hits (126), total bases (182), doubles (24), triples (7), stolen bases and extra-base hits (37). He was also leading all NL center fielders with eight outfield assists.
Price sees big things in Hamilton's future.
"I'm excited, obviously, that he's gotten to this level," Price said. "He's only going to get better."

Mayoral candidate Ron Natinsky may have been eligible after all for an endorsement from Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, according to the group's president.
As we reported over the weekend, Natinsky abruptly pulled out of Stonewall's candidate screening on Saturday over questions about whether he was eligible for the group's endorsement since he's a Republican.
According to Stonewall's bylaws, "Endorsements may be made in Dallas County non-partisan elections if the candidate has a Democratic Party primary election voting history and/or affirms allegiance to the Dallas Democratic Party."
Stonewall President Omar Narvaez said Monday that it's possible Natinsky would have been eligible for the endorsement despite the candidate's Republican primary voting record. The group instead endorsed former police chief David Kunkle.
"Bylaws cannot be waived, but there's a lot of gray in that bylaw, just depending on how it's interpreted and how it's read," Narvaez said. "I can't tell you how it would have gone had he [Natinsky] been there. All I can say is that Kunkle had a lot of supporters in the room already.
"It was sad that he [Natinsky] ended up dropping out at the last minute, because it was another opportunity to actually speak to us," Narvaez added. "When a candidate's there it really means a lot more to the members. When somebody just decides that they're not going to come speak at all, it makes the membership feel almost slighted — 'why wouldn't you show up?'"

In my 33 years with Pfizer, I have seen firsthand the highly competitive environment we face everywhere we operate. I know that all the major companies in our industry have outstanding talent. It's how we, as leaders, engage that talent that makes the difference.
One of my top priorities is to encourage and maintain a culture where colleagues share their diverse ideas, take initiative, act with an entrepreneurial spirit, give their best each day and believe Pfizer is a great place to work. My message to our colleagues is that they have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of millions of people while shaping the future of a world-class organization. This great opportunity comes with equally great responsibilities: work with integrity, be accountable for results and deliver for all of our stakeholders.
Late in 2010 Jeff Kindler, Pfizer's Chairman and CEO, retired from the company. He helped build much of our current foundation for growth, including our business unit structure and our landmark acquisition of Wyeth. I want to thank Jeff for his passionate leadership during his nine years with Pfizer.
Following Jeff's retirement, the Board determined that the designation of an independent, non-executive Chairman is optimal for the company at the present time and elected independent Director George A. Lorch as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. George and I have a close working relationship. I know he will continue to be a strong advocate for Pfizer's shareholders.
Two of our Directors will retire in April 2011. Robert N. Burt, a Director who joined us from the Board of Warner-Lambert, served on nearly all of the Board's key committees, and led the Audit Committee during the critical years when Sarbanes-Oxley regulations went into effect. All of us are grateful for Bob's leadership, insight and dedication to Pfizer.
William C. Steere, Jr., Pfizer's Chairman Emeritus since 2001, has been part of Pfizer for 52 years, joining us as a sales representative in 1959 and climbing the ranks to become Chairman and CEO, serving from 1991 to 2001. He led an era that saw Pfizer move from the 14th largest pharmaceutical company in the world to an unquestioned No. 1, largely on the strength of science and innovation.
Nat Ricciardi, President of Pfizer Global Manufacturing, announced that he will retire effective April 1, 2011. Nat began his 39-year career on the night shift of the Brooklyn plant and rose to lead the world's largest biopharmaceutical production network. I am grateful for Nat's leadership of our respected production and supply team, and especially for his commitment to developing people throughout Pfizer.
Commitments Made, Commitments Kept—But More to Do
I invite you to explore our first integrated Annual Review and Corporate Responsibility Report, which is posted to www.pfizer.com and provides more detail on our activities in 2010.
Pfizer had a good year, but we know we have much, much more to do. We will continue to make progress in creating a Pfizer that is both successful and sustainable. We did much in 2010 to manage our costs, reduce our dependence on a few large products, speed up our innovation and bring our products to new markets. We announced additional steps in February 2011 to help put the company on a firm course toward our third century.
I am confident that we are investing in the right areas, taking the right actions and building the right kind of culture. I firmly believe Pfizer has an enduring role to play in meeting humanity's most important priority—better health—and I look forward with great enthusiasm to our future.
Ian C. Read
President and CEO

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., or FDIC, has proposed a new regulation to clarify the FDIC-insurance status of deposits made in foreign branches of U.S. banks. The proposed rule states that while these funds can be considered deposits for certain purposes, they are not FDIC-insured.
The rule is intended to protect the FDIC deposit-insurance fund against the uncertain liability it otherwise could face as a deposit insurer for customers of foreign branches of U.S.-based insured depository institutions, according to an FDIC memorandum.
U.S. banks operate through branches in dozens of foreign countries. These branches exist primarily to provide banking, foreign currency and payment services to multinational corporations. Deposits have doubled since 2001 to about $1 trillion, a significant percentage of which is deposited in the United Kingdom, the FDIC said.
Funds deposited in foreign branches of U.S. banks currently aren't considered deposits unless they're payable in the U.S., according to the FDIC statement. However, a recent proposal by a U.K. government authority has made it likely that large U.S. banks will change their deposit agreements to make their U.K. branch deposits payable in both the U.K. and U.S.
In the statement, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg explained that the proposed regulation would allow U.S. banks that have branches in the U.K. to make certain deposits payable in the U.S., without triggering FDIC insurance or restructuring the branches into subsidiaries.
The proposed rule will not affect deposits in overseas military banking facilities. Those facilities are governed by U.S Department of Defense regulations and their deposits will continue to be FDIC-insured to the same extent as they presently are, the FDIC said.
The FDIC insures deposits at 7,181 U.S. banks and savings associations. The agency receives no federal tax dollars, but is funded by insured financial institutions.
The FDIC issued the proposed rule with a 60-day comment period that begins when the rule is published in the Federal Register.
Frank Keating, president of the American Bankers Association, a Washington, D.C.-based trade organization that represents U.S. banks, said in a statement that more time was needed to address the concerns of FDIC and U.K. banking regulators without placing further operational burdens on U.S. financial institutions.
Do you hold deposits in foreign branches of U.S. banks? What do you think of the proposed rule?

A Cozy House With a Scandinavian Aesthetic
For a "clean, fresh" look in a Malibu living room, designers Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe painted walls Benjamin Moore's Simply White. "It's a happy white that doesn't feel cold, because it's chalky," Nickey says.
Against the living room's backdrop of neutrals, the designers made a nine-foot-long metal Colin Fisher mobile the dramatic centerpiece. They introduced more color in a few accents: a wool-and-silk rug from Amadi Carpets, pillows made of old kimono sashes, and an ottoman covered with a suzani. A coffee table from the designers' Los Angeles store, NK Shop, anchors a midcentury sofa, bench, and chairs. A vintage Peruvian hand chair adds whimsy. Two soaring trees — a Nickey Kehoe signature — echo the greenery surrounding the house.

Familiar faces appear in new places in 2013
Baseball fans of a certain age may remember when vendors walked through the stands and yelling: "Get your scorecard here! Can't tell the players without a scorecard!"
That started to change when teams began putting names on the back of uniforms. Now, with so many games on television and intensive year-round coverage, many players are more familiar than your next-door neighbors.
Still, at the start of Spring Training, it's always a small jolt to see a player we've grown accustomed to in one uniform show up wearing the colors of another team. This year is no exception.
Josh Hamilton resurrected his career, won an American League Most Valuable Player Award and went to the World Series twice with the Rangers. He's with the Angels now.
Kevin Youkilis, a nemesis when he played for the Red Sox, is a Yankee. The Phillies may not have gotten younger, but they definitely got Younger, acquiring Michael Young in a trade with Texas and signing Delmon Young, who was the AL Championship Series MVP for Detroit.
Zack Greinke is now wearing Dodger blue. The Royals got James Shields from Tampa Bay. Nick Swisher has been identified with the Yankees, and Michael Bourn with the Braves. Both are Indians now.
The Blue Jays and Red Sox will compete for the most introductory handshakes in the Grapefruit League. Toronto brought in Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Emilio Bonifacio from the Marlins, reigning National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey from the Mets and All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera from the Giants. Boston's new faces include Shane Victorino (Phillies), Stephen Drew (Diamondbacks), Jonny Gomes (Athletics) and Joel Hanrahan (Pirates).
New faces in new places always create a buzz. And nowhere is that more true than Tempe, Ariz., where Hamilton will join Albert Pujols in the Angels' lineup.
"It was definitely a very good offseason two offseasons ago, when we picked up Pujols and got C.J. [Wilson] as well," said right-hander Jered Weaver. "Now you have a guy like Hamilton in the lineup. I don't think I'll be running to the bathroom any time during the game. I don't want to miss anything. It'll be nice to see those guys work."
Of course, not everybody is thrilled with this move.
"We had about two seconds to celebrate," joked A's general manager Billy Beane. "'Yay, he's leaving Texas. Boo, he's going to Anaheim.'
"He's a great player. He's an MVP candidate every year he's out there. I'm glad to see him leaving Texas, but it doesn't do me any good because he went to Anaheim. ... He's a force. He gets on streaks where he can carry a club. Now you've got [Mike] Trout in front of him, you've got Pujols around him; it's a dynamic offensive club."
Youkilis was a player fans in the Bronx loved to hate. Now he's on their side. And Yanks general manager Brian Cashman thinks he'll fit in just fine.
"Philosophically, he's exactly the type of player that we like; plate discipline, power. He's a big hairy monster, though he's got less hair now," Cashman said, a reference to the team's policy against beards. "Johnny Damon transitioned here very well because of his experience up there. New York and Boston, players that have to grow up in those environments or work in those environments are better prepared to deal with [New York]. Johnny Damon came in here, Youk is now coming here. He'll be prepared for everything and anything."
First baseman Mark Teixeira agreed.
"I've always been a fan of Kevin Youkilis because of the way he plays the game," Teixeira said. "Like I always say, you're going to have ups and downs, but when you play the game hard like Kevin, when you play the game hard every single day no matter what the situation, players respect you. Your teammates respect you. And we're going to really enjoy playing with him this year."
There is always some risk bringing in a lot of new faces, but Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista doesn't think that will be an issue for Toronto.
"If you have a group of guys that are kind of pulling the rope their own way and not the team way, it could [be a problem]," Bautista said. "But the sense I get from meeting all of these guys is that's not going to happen. They're all Major League established players.
"They're not out to make a name for themselves, they're not prideful players where they're going to take their personal stats over team wins. I think everyone here has the same goal in mind, and that's winning games and hopefully going to the World Series and being world champions. Because of those reasons, I don't think team chemistry is going to be an issue at all."
The Royals believe Shields can be a key to competing for the division title this year.
"The innings that he brings and the stuff that he brings might rate only a little bit higher than the leadership he brings, but he's the total package," said Kansas City manager Ned Yost. "He's already beaten the drum to our staff, saying, 'Yeah, I'm a 200-inning guy -- but so are you, and so are you, and so are you, and so are you.'"
Swisher was excited when the Indians went the extra financial mile to sign Bourn.
"Bringing a guy of his financial caliber over here, especially after signing a big contract with me and then suddenly turning around and giving almost the same contract to Mike [was huge]. Every single pitcher on this team is going to love him," Swisher told reporters.
Michael Young was a Rangers franchise icon who had spent his entire career with the Texas organization.
"Bringing [Young] to Philadelphia was important to us in a variety of ways," said Phils general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. "He fills a need at third base, clearly, but I think more importantly he brings the kind of character, the championship attitude, that we're looking for in a player and in the people we try to acquire here."
Similar storylines are playing out in every camp.

In the semi-final between Mustangs and Kickers Quantick hit 82 in the first six hands including a 24 pin spare.
Morgan, after some manipulation on his finger, hit 124.
Opponents Colin Burnett and Stuart Norman managed just one spare against their names and were 51 down after six hands.
With no luck at all they were 76 adrift after ten but then three spares over the last two hands reduced the deficit to 62 by the end.
The other semi-final was much closer. By half time Tim Short and James Baker led by just one pin before Nick Sherrin and Steve Liddle pulled away to win by 25.
In the final Quantick carried on where he left off, hitting five spares in his first half 89 before following up with 63.
Despite his pain Morgan managed 98 which was enough to secure a 50 pin victory.
The third and fourth place final saw Burnett and Norman lead by 20 pins at half time. They managed to keep their noses in front to win by 15.
The cups and trophies will be presented at the rugby club on Friday, June 6 (7.30pm).

By the kind diligence of cousin Viv, we were able to obtain a facsimile of the rear of the card on which Victor's photograph was mounted. A copy was sent to Ron and he has dated the image to between 1880 and 1886, which would make Victor at least 57 years old. Not a great leap for Kahnkind but every snippet offers potential benefits. Thanks to all concerned.
