Plumlee right now is getting feed like Thanksgiving
LOL this is Miles Plumlee's world we are just living in it.
I was so damn sure that he would play great there after the pre-season games I watched. I would pick him up in fantasy but another guy beat me to it.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
MVPlumlee with a first half double double
I wanted him to succeed, of course, but I'm starting to get severe seller's remorse. Tell me he looks worse than his stats!
Plumlee did nothing but good things in the few minutes I watched. He is setting nice screens for Bledsoe, good positioning for rebounds even had a nice pass in the paint for the open man, but the best thing was a clean straight jump with arms up, when Lillard attacked the paint...no call. Emediatley after this play the anouncer talked about how Plumlee learned this move from Hibbert last year ! Really glad that he has a good start so far! Green also made 2 for 2 .
Let's see how Miles will do in the 2nd half. But damn that 1st half was awesome for him
Nope, he doesn't looks worse than his stats. Miles will prove in Phoenix that he is a player that belongs in the NBA
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
45 seconds to go, OKC 3points ahead and Perkins take the shot with a sky hook. LOL and of course he missed it.
Miles is hitting baseline jumpers now as well
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Another classic Zach Randolph-Tim Duncan showdown out west. Timmy came out on top, outscoring Randolph three points to two.

I'm enjoying the miles plumule experience.
Btw Damian Lillard still looks like the worst defensive starting PG in the NBA. He is barely ahead of Jose Calderon, who at least realizes he can't stay in front of anybody and plays 3 feet off his man

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Agreed on Lillard. He's a freaking turnstile out there.
Alex Len is really, really long. Suns could be the most entertaining of the Riggin' for Wiggins Sweepstakes.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Gearld Wallace had the craziest stat line tonight. I knew I should of drafted Jeff Green, but I hate the guys game so much I just couldn't lol.
#FREE ALEC BURKS!!! 24 pts 6 boards and 6 dimes. Of course they started Jefferson over him. That kid must of pissed in Corbin's Cheerios when he took over. Corbin never wants to play Burks.
EDIT of course the satellite must go out smh

I think the Rockets are Western Conference champs this year, especially if they keep Asik. They'll take some time to work it all out, but I think they're going to be so hard to play against this season.
EDIT// Oh my, and I just realized that Howard and Asik combined for 40 rebounds in 50 minutes. It's against the Bobcats, but still....

Here's a fun stat that will serve as the button to my Plumlee comments this evening:
- Miles scored more points tonight than all of last year combined.
The Barn is rocking tonight. So good to see that place packed and cheering on the SACRAMENTO KINGS! I got goosebumps just watching.
I really like Coach Malone. I liked how they played all preseason. I think they are on the right path for sure.
I kind of like the Dubs. If that team can keep Curry and Bogut healthy (huge if), they could be a contender out West.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
And I know everyone likes taking shots at Dwight Howard, and certainly a lot of his childish ways deserve criticism, but anyone who thinks the Lakers are better off and the Rockets worse off with the decision Dwight made this summer is just straight up hating for the sake of hating.
Guy acted like a brat forcing his way out of Orlando, but he wasn't dumb to think that he was never going to win with what the Magic put around him. And his leaving the Lakers wasn't about not being able to handle the pressure and lights of LA, it was about preferring to play with a young Harden vs. and old Kobe/Nash.
And I'm just lukewarm on the Bogut extension. The numbers aren't horrible, but at the same time it locks them into the roster they have now for quite a while and it always has potential to blow up in their face.
Week Ago: You may be on something...
Tonight: You may be on to something...
A simple, two-letter word changes everything.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin dropped his appeal of a $25,000 fine because he felt he had already won his case against NASCAR and had nothing more to prove.
Hamlin, who was fined for criticizing NASCAR's new Sprint Cup car, is in the "good graces" of NASCAR.
MORE: Denny drops appeal | Denny thanks fans | Junior plans to use bumper | Danica on Bristol
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver believes he won his battle with NASCAR in the court of public opinion — and possibly in the NASCAR headquarters in Daytona Beach — following the uproar over the penalty for what appeared to be relatively tame comments.
MORE ON FINE: NASCAR overreacted | NASCAR credibility | Drivers back Denny
After the March 3 race at Phoenix International Raceway, Hamlin said it was more difficult to pass in NASCAR's new "Gen-6" car than with the previous car.
NASCAR responded the following Thursday with the fine. Hamlin vowed not to pay it and filed an appeal.
Hamlin still has not paid the fine but has dropped his appeal. NASCAR officials said Thursday that the case was closed and indicated that it would garnish the team's winnings for this weekend's race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"We won in the judge of the people and their opinion," Hamlin said Friday at Bristol. "Some of the peers of mine, at least the ones that have a backbone, had the nerve to stick up for what they know is right … (and) agreed.
"What was the point in going another week or so? We've got bigger fish to fry other than to argue what I said just for $25,000. It's better just to move on and let NASCAR get its credibility back."
One of the sport's more outspoken drivers, Hamlin is still steaming over what he considers a disrespectful decision by NASCAR.
"If I was Jeff Gordon or Tony (Stewart), Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. or any Hendrick driver, let's just say that, they would have had a conversation with me before (the penalty)," Hamlin said. "Just to slap the fine on me and not tell me anything is what really, really bugged me. A lot.
"That felt like I had not earned my place in this sport, and I've grinded it out here for eight years and I really feel like I've done what it takes to earn the respect of both my peers and NASCAR and I feel like had I been somebody else, the outcome may have been different."
Instead, Hamlin was fined. He has since talked with NASCAR Chairman Brian France about the penalty. He would not comment on the specifics of their conversation.
"We had a lot of the same ideas," Hamlin said. "In hindsight, I really believe they overreacted, and I believe they think they overreacted once they thought about it a little bit.
"But now we're at a point where we're good with each other and we're going to move on from here."
NASCAR had the option of suspending Hamlin for not paying the fine but he is racing this weekend at Bristol and NASCAR is expected to take the fine out of the team's race purse.
"I was prepared either way," Hamlin said. "They are ultimately not going to want to suspend — that would be their last resort.
"But I was prepared to do it, and I let my sponsors and everyone know it was a possibility. … By me saying I was not going to hand them a check and I was not going to give them anything, it was then in their court to decide what they were going to do."
Because the purse is paid to the team owner, it would be up to Joe Gibbs to determine whether to withhold the money from Hamlin. A JGR spokesman said he didn't know what Gibbs would do.
"That's a good question," Hamlin said. "I guess I'll look at my paycheck and find out."
Hamlin said he still had the support of JGR if he wanted to go through with the appeal, but he didn't need to prove anything.
"Everybody knows that we were right and I can give you 100 interviews that were way worse than mine through the last few seasons that nobody said anything about," Hamlin said.
"I think they were very, very sensitive about this car. This is their baby. What I was most frustrated (with) was that it's not even the opinion that I have. I like the car. I think that the car is better. That's me giving 100 percent honest truth. I was more frustrated with the tire we were on than anything."
While saying he could have handled things differently, Hamlin said he still would be honest with the media as much as possible.
"Ninety percent of what you hear on a weekly basis is just guys that are trying to stay on NASCAR's good side, really," Hamlin said. "There is very few that really give the honest and true truth. … As long as I can give a 100 percent honest answer and not get in trouble, I'll answer the question.
"If I know my answer could have repercussions, I'll just refer to 'no comment.'"

Nov. 21 Board of Supervisors Meeting
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Nov. 17, 2005
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to Recognize Residents and Staff, and Issue Proclamations
Note to Editor: A downloadable photo and text of each presentation will be posted on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/opa/presentations.htm on Monday, Nov. 21. These photos will remain on the Web site until the next board meeting with presentations on Monday, Dec. 5.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on Monday, Nov. 21, scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., will recognize the following residents and staff for their accomplishments and issue the following proclamations listed below. For more information, call 703-324-3187, TTY 711.
The Boot – Filled to Overflowing
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the Fire and Rescue Department, the International Association of Firefighters Local 2068, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Sun Trust Bank for their efforts in the 2005 Fill the Boot Campaign. Each year the Fire and Rescue Department and the International Association of Firefighters sponsor the campaign to support the fight against muscular dystrophy. This year, the fire service included in its efforts support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The public responded with overwhelming generosity to contribute more than $580,000. Not only was this a record for Fairfax County but it set the record across the nation for the 2005 Labor Day weekend campaign.
Winning the Gold One Stroke at a Time
Katie Ziegler, of Great Falls, will be recognized for her accomplishments at the U.S. Summer Nationals in Irvine, Calif., and at the World Aquatics Championship in Montreal, Canada. Ziegler distinguished herself on the national and international level by winning the gold medals in the 1500-meter with the third fastest performance in history in the 800-meter freestyle races.
Founder and Pastor to Be Recognized
Bud R. Calvert, founder and pastor of the Fairfax Baptist Temple, will be recognized for 35 years of service to the faith community, residents of Fairfax County and the surrounding areas. Calvert, a native son of Virginia, returned to Northern Virginia in October 1970 after a tour of duty in the U.S. Army and upon graduation from college, founding the church that is today the Fairfax Baptist Temple.
November is American Indian Heritage Month
Noting that American Indians, Alaska natives and native-born Hawaiians are an important part of our nation's past and will play a role in America's future, the Board of Supervisors will designate November 2005 as American Indian Heritage Month in Fairfax County.
Recognizing Good Deeds
The Board of Supervisors will recognize those who have developed the Fairfax Families Care Coalition, a coalition formed in the region of government, school, business and civic leaders to offer long-term assistance to evacuees of Hurricane Katrina. The initial goal of the coalition was to locate 200 jobs, 100 housing units and accommodate 400 school children.
Raising Awareness About Adoption
The Board of Supervisors will designate November 2005 as Adoption Awareness Month in Fairfax County. Residents are urged to consider adoption and to honor those families that do adopt children, giving children the security of a permanent family and the opportunity for a brighter future.
Wastewater Treatment Program – a Top Performer
The Wastewater Management Program will be recognized for its selection by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies for receiving a Gold Peak Performance Award for 2004. The award recognizes 100 percent compliance in the administration of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System for wastewater treatment at the Noman Cole Jr. Pollution Control Plant in Lorton.
Innovative Project Upholds Environmental
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the Stormwater Retrofit Project team for its commitment and dedication to strengthening the environment by assisting in the implementation of the stormwater retrofit project located in the parking area shared by Fire Station No. 30 and the Providence District Supervisor's office. The project was funded by a grant from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.
World AIDS Day
The Board of Supervisors will designate Thursday, Dec. 1, 2005, as AIDS Awareness Day in Fairfax County. Education and prevention remain the only effective methods of decreasing the spread of HIV. World AIDS Day is an opportunity to focus on the need for ongoing HIV and AIDS prevention and services. The theme for World AIDS Day 2005 is "Keep the Promise."

Beltran, Molina remain with PR amid Classic run
JUPITER, Fla. -- Outfielder Carlos Beltran and catcher Yadier Molina will remain away from Cardinals camp for at least a few more days, as they depart for San Francisco and the championship round of the World Baseball Classic after Puerto Rico's game against the Dominican Republic on Saturday in Miami.
Matheny expressed mixed emotions about still not having two front-line starters in camp.
"We'll have to see what they look like when they get here," Matheny said. "I'm not going to shy away from the fact that I look forward to having our guys back and trying to get them on a schedule that leads us to Opening Day.
"I'm excited for the fact that the Classic helps the game of baseball. That's the business we're in, so we need to promote that. But it's hard not to be selfish, and on the selfish side, I'm concerned about our guys. I'm concerned about our team. So it's good to have Mitchell [Boggs] back.
"I'm as patriotic as the next guy. I always hope the best for the United States, but I'm pretty focused on what it takes for our individual players to be ready."

Freelance Submission Guidelines
Freelance Submission Guidelines
Western Horseman rarely accepts unsolicited manuscripts. In most cases, the editor assigns the magazine's content to staff writers or to a small group of professional freelance writers. Writers wishing to submit material to Western Horseman should begin the process by contacting the editor via e-mail (email@example.com), ground mail or fax. If the article fits Western Horseman's editorial schedule, the editor may ask the freelancer to produce a manuscript for review.
In all cases, Western Horseman makes no commitment to publication or payment until the editor reviews the finished manuscript and photographs. Freelance articles are, therefore, written "on spec." When the editor approves the finished manuscript and photographs, a contract specifying payment will be sent to the writer. Western Horseman pays on acceptance and purchases first-time publication rights, as well as an option for one future use; remaining rights belong to the freelance contributor. Western Horseman cannot commit to publishing freelance material in specific issues. Even after purchasing rights to a manuscript, Western Horseman does not guarantee that the work will be published.

Sustainability: Cooling off in Bali
IC is the first U.S. college or university to be represented at the UN Climate Change Conference. by Greg Ryan '08
Most U.S. Americans who attended the 2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali felt a little heat from their foreign colleagues. The U.S. delegation to the conference had refused to accept the framework the other countries agreed to — until the last minute, when it consented to a watered-down version of the deal.
But Sean Vormwald '01 was one American who could keep his cool amid the hot debates. The College's (now former) associate director of alumni relations and member of its informal sustainability task force was in Bali to tout IC's commitment to combating global warming.
Vormwald and Warren Schlesinger, an associate professor of accounting in IC's School of Business, ran an exhibit at the Bali conference about the College's sustainability initiatives. The exhibit marked the first time a college attended the conference specifically to talk about the efforts being made by American universities to fight climate change, Vormwald says, and IC's booth received a warm reception. "I think people were pleasantly surprised," he says, "that a U.S. institution was sending that message" despite the U.S. administration's lethargy in committing to meaningful action on the looming global crisis.
The College joined more than 400 American universities when President Peggy R. Williams signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment last May; the number of signatories has since surpassed 500. The commitment requires colleges to complete an emissions inventory and set goals toward becoming carbon neutral.
"The federal government hasn't supported international treaties, but there are many examples of U.S. colleges and municipalities working to combat climate change," Vormwald points out. During a blistering debate set over two sweltering weeks in Indonesia, that was a message the rest of the world was glad to hear.

I am going to finish the work I did in my latest blog entry and this time I am going to include those wrestlers I think have a good chance to be in the game, more likely than some of the other guys that I include in part 1.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans. I am going to blog about matches from Attitude Era that some of us maybe forgot and made an impact to the WWF storylines. I am only going to include matches that were on RAW IS WAR because in 3 weeks we are going to see the 1000th episode of Raw.
So I have made this clear now. If my spelling is bad then blame the 5 english teachers i have had in my life.
Top 5 I Quit matches
We have extreme rules, last man standing and we have the I Quit match. No match is more brutal imo than the I quit match. To win an I quit match you need to make your opponent say the words I quit.
This time I'm going to rate the top 5 I quit matches in the wrestling history. This is my opinion about the matches so take your time and share your own opinion
When you watch a wrestling match you look at the technical talent inside the ring. A standard match often takes up to 20 min, but sometimes it can go for an hour.
This time I'm going to rank the top 5 ironman matches. An iron man match is a 30 or 60 min wrestling match with the standard rules for a match. The wrestler who has the most decisions at the end of the match is then the winner.
My first official blog here, very unusual blog. We always like tag team matches and i think everybodys favorite feud was dudleys vs hardys vs E-C. Those matches were awesome and the team were paired up with 2 guys.
But what im going to rank is 10 man tag team matches. These matches are very hard to rank because often you have a couple of guys teaming up with no stoyrline involved. I

Student Representative Appointed to the Fairfax County
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
July 8, 2005
Student Representative Appointed to the Fairfax County
Environmental Quality Advisory Council
Thomas Jefferson High School Student
Thomas Jefferson High School senior, Eleni Orphanides, was recently selected to serve on the county's Environmental Quality Advisory Council. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors appointed Orphanides, an Alexandria area resident, during its June 20 meeting.
The 14-member advisory body submits to the board its Annual Report on the Environment, which contains recommendations on protecting and improving the county's environment. During monthly meetings, the council investigates issues such as air and water quality, land use, noise, and solid waste disposal. Resolutions on specific environmental concerns are transmitted to the board during the course of the year.
Orphanides, who began serving her one-year term this month, was selected through a competitive application process. Students from nine different high schools applied to serve on the council this year.
Besides competing on the basis of their grades and extracurricular activities, applicants also submit a 500-word essay on an environmental topic. Orphanides' essay addressed the loss of wetlands, natural buffer areas and underwater grasses in the Chesapeake Bay.
Appointed by the board, the council is comprised of one citizen representative from each Magisterial District, four at-large members and one student representative. Each member serves a three-year term, except the student representative who serves during his or her junior or senior year of high school.
Applications for the 2006 student representative will be accepted next spring. Fairfax County high school students who have completed their sophomore or junior years are eligible to apply.
For more information about the Environmental Quality Advisory Council or the application process, please call Noel Kaplan, Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning, at 703-324-1380, TTY 711, or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/eqac.

Y. P. Messenger (Periodical)
Y. P. Messenger was popular and widely circulated in Canada with 800-900 paid annual subscriptions. It was highly illustrated and had contributors from British Columbia to Ontario. Issues usually contained an editorial, letters to the editor, Jugendkanzel (Youth Pulpit), sometimes a poem or short humor piece, provincial youth reports, contributions from foreign mission workers and from Bible schools, reports of youth in service work and comments from pastors and interested readers of all ages. German and English each occupied about half of the content. Because much of the materials was candid, and the format was contemporary for the times, the editor received much criticism. The conference youth wanted their own periodical but there was never consensus on its format, language, frequency of publication, content, or financing. After three and half years of effort Isaac Epp resigned and the Y. P. Messenger ended publication.

P2P Payments Study: Mobile Drives Renewed Interest And Growth
LINTHICUM, MARYLAND – First Annapolis Consulting announces the release of its 2012 Person-to-Person (P2P) Payments Study. Building on the 2011 study, this report provides insights on industry trends, service providers, and business models in the P2P market in the United States. First Annapolis compared the features and functionality of 12 leading service providers, spanning mobile wallets, banking applications, and standalone solutions. Data pertaining to channel availability, user input and verification requirements, transaction duration, funding and disbursement options, pricing, and advanced features was collected across the registration and transaction processes of the key players. Additionally, the study provides analysis of the P2P market, including market sizing, use cases, competitive positioning, and social integration trends.
Electronic P2P is approximately an $80 – 120 billion market opportunity. Rapid growth is being driven more by use cases like ad-hoc bill payment, micro-merchant purchases, and intra-family transfers, than by the "split the dinner bill" transactions historically associated with P2P. Three distinct business models are emerging that are driven by integration with either banking applications, wallets, or social networks. These business models leverage the strengths of various providers, such as the networks of Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo (via clearXchange ) with an estimated 70 million online consumer accounts, and PayPal with an estimated 50 million active accounts in the US. Competitors are also developing functionality to facilitate a more streamlined payment process. For example, over half of the solutions evaluated now facilitate new user registration entirely from a mobile device, and 75% can leverage the user's existing contacts list to populate recipient information, a feature that is highly correlated with a faster consumer transaction sequence. Furthermore, new competitors such as Serve, Venmo, and Dwolla are integrating social network functionality. Despite these advances, P2P still does not have a compelling, standalone business model, and more than half of the providers surveyed offer the product for free.
During the second quarter of 2012, First Annapolis studied the current state of P2P in the U.S. by testing leading services, tracking recent events, and having discussions with industry participants. The primary research was developed based on data collected during registration and transaction trials with 12 solutions, and data was verified where possible with the service the providers. Paul Grill, the Partner who leads the First Annapolis Mobile Commerce & Alternative Payments team is available for interview. For more information, visit the study webpage.

Michigan Tech Research Institute Image Analyst Receives Top Honor in Field
Last Modified 1:30 PM, December 4, 2009
December 4, 2009—
Chuck Olson has been doing image interpretation and analysis for more than half a century. Now the senior image analyst at the Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI) in Ann Arbor has been recognized for his contributions with one of the highest honors his professional society can confer: Honorary Member of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS).
"This is a very big deal," said Colin Brooks, research scientist and manager of the Environmental Science Laboratory at MTRI. "It is ASPRS's highest award, and there are only 25 honorary members at any one time."
The lifetime award is given to recognize individuals who have rendered distinguished service to ASPRS or who have attained distinction in advancing the science and use of geospatial information. Olson qualifies on both counts.
He has been a member of ASPRS and its predecessor organization, the American Society of Photogrammetry, since 1956. He has presented many workshops for ASPRS on remote sensing of vegetation and thermal remote sensing, and he has had numerous papers published in the journals Photogrammetric Engineering and the International Archives of Photogrammetry. He received the ASPRS Presidential Citation for Meritorious Service several times and the prestigious Ford Bartlett Award. Olson was elected an ASPRS fellow and served as national director from the Eastern Great Lakes Region. He also began an oral history project, completing 56 interviews, several of which became the basis for a "Reflection of the Past" series in the society's journal, PE&RS.
Olson taught and did research at universities for more than four decades, first at the University of Illinois and then at the University of Michigan, while also serving in the US Naval Reserve. One of his mobilization assignments was as deputy director of the Armed Forces Air Intelligence Training Center at Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado. He retired from the Navy in 1987 with the rank of captain and from the University of Michigan as professor emeritus of natural resources in 1999.
Olson joined MTRI to serve as an image analysis consultant and to conduct image analysis tutorials for MTRI interns. One of his recent projects involved using air photos to locate vernal pools at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, research led by Rod Chimner from Michigan Tech's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science.
"My association with MTRI has been a rewarding one for me," said Olson. "It provides me with a chance to share my experience with others, while learning from them things they know more about than I do."
Olson will receive the ASPRS award at the society's 2010 annual conference in San Diego.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Dove Season Outlook Fair as Drought Conditions Prevail
AUSTIN, Texas — Come August, dove hunters become creatures of habit; intently aware of silhouettes on power lines and pastures with bright yellow sunflowers. They track the bird's swift, erratic flight with imaginary shotguns.
Pre-game warmup exercises.
This year, hunters have had a fairly light preseason workout and can anticipate an average dove season, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department dove program leader Jay Roberson.
This year's dove call count index, which measures dove breeding population changes, shows a decline statewide from last year's surveys. Roberson cites continued dry conditions throughout the core dove range in Texas for the second consecutive year as the main reason for the drop in doves calling during the surveys, with the southern region of the state seeming to have been hit the hardest.
Biologists have been conducting roadside call counts each spring since 1966, driving along the same 133 transect routes and stopping routinely to listen for the bird's distinctive call, and this year's estimates are 18 percent below the long term average. Roberson said drought isn't completely to blame for decreased mourning dove populations.
"It's something that seems to have been going on for a long time at a rate of just under one percent a year and a lot of biologists believe it's habitat loss," Roberson said. "This said, doves are still an extremely abundant species and numerous flights of 12 to 40 doves have been seen around Austin late in the afternoon, going to and from feeding areas. Also, whitewings are increasing in numbers across the state.
"Whitewings are not impacted as much as mourning dove because of their adaptation to urban areas," Roberson said. "They rely more on supplemental food sources from backyard feeders and although the fields adjacent to urban areas will be just as dry as those in rural areas, whitewings should continue to provide good hunting opportunities this year." In 2005, the whitewing population in Texas was estimated to be 2.8 million
Dove season in the North Zone is set for Sept. 1-Oct. 30, with a 15-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves; the Central Zone runs Sept. 1-Oct. 30 and reopens Dec. 26-Jan. 4, with a 12-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves; and the South Zone is set for Sept. 22-Nov. 12, reopening Dec. 26-Jan. 12 with a 12 bird bag but not more than two white-tipped doves. Possession limit is twice the daily bag.
The Special South Texas Whitewing Zone, which now encompasses land west of I-35 and south of U. S. Highway 90, is open to white-winged dove afternoon-only (noon to sunset) hunting the first two Saturdays and Sundays in September. The daily bag limit is 12 birds, not more than four (4) mourning doves and two (2) white-tipped doves.
If current range conditions persist, say biologists, hunters should expect to find doves concentrating near watering holes and preferred food sources such as annual weeds and agricultural seed crops
"If the drought intensifies and birds are concentrated around water, some hunters may not perceive a drop in dove densities," noted Roberson. "I would recommend hunters scout for birds using sunflower fields near permanent open water."
However, some areas have large amounts of failed grain crops standing in the fields. When landowners till these crops into the soil will help determine dove distribution and concentration. Most dove hunters know that dry conditions can produce some of the best hunting situations for those who do their scouting.
The reduction in mourning doves could be offset in some areas by the expansion of the Eurasian collared dove, an exotic non-game species that resembles a whitewing except for a distinctive black marking on its neck. There is no bag limit or season restriction on collared dove, but Roberson recommends hunters retain a wing for identification purposes.
"Collared dove have expanded faster in 10 years than whitewings did in 25," Roberson noted. "A lot of hunters enjoy hunting them; they are a larger bird and good to eat. I equate them to rock pigeons; a good way for a kid to learn to shoot in the off season, but you have to be careful because they do co exist with mourning dove and Inca dove."
Hunters are also reminded to be on the lookout for banded birds. As part of a research effort to monitor movements of mourning doves, some birds have been marked with metal leg bands containing a unique number and a toll free telephone number (800-327-BAND or 2263) that hunters can call to report the band. Bands may also be reported on the Internet at (http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/). Hunters may keep the bands. It only takes a minute and doesn't cost a cent and hunters receive a certificate of appreciation that identifies when and where the dove was banded.
"We've banded about 1,000 mourning doves per year for last three years," said Roberson. "The return rates in Texas have been disappointing, less than 100 bands last year and only half of those were from Texas banded birds. The information we gain from band returns is valuable and we're urging hunters to call when they take a banded dove."
Hunters are also cautioned that a valid Texas hunting license and this is the second year that a state migratory game bird stamp is also required for doves, waterfowl and sandhill cranes.
When buying licenses and stamps, hunters are also reminded to tell the license agent to provide the "HIP" (Harvest Information Program, a federally mandated survey of migratory bird hunters) certification required to hunt doves. Hunter education certification is also required, depending on your age; check the Outdoor Annual of hunting and fishing regulations booklet for details.
Dove hunters should take note they may only use "plugged" shotguns capable of holding no more than three shotshells.
For $48, the price of an Annual Public Hunting Permit from TPWD, hunters can access more than a million acres of public hunting lands, including 147 units ranging in size from 50 to 2,000 acres and covering more than 55,000 acres leased primarily for hunting dove and other small game. TPWD's public hunting program leased the land using money generated by permit sales.
While public hunting lands can be found throughout the state, most of the dove and small game leases occur along the I-35 and I-10 corridors within easy driving distance of the major metropolitan areas. Some areas offer special hunting opportunity for youth.

Police have confirmed that a 4ft section of wall from Roebuck Bridge on Corsham Road in Lacock was knocked down on to the embankment near the railway this morning (February 27).
A passer-by reported the damage at 7.49am and a bridge examiner is on site and has authorised normal line speed past the location.
At present, trains are being cautioned and Network Rail diverted two First Great Western High Speed Services while it was established which bridge was affected.
The two train services were diverted via Hullavington as a result of the bridge strike, not calling at Bath or Chippenham.
Police closed the road to vehicles shortly after 8.30am. Network Rail's minor works team will carry out repairs to the bridge.

The new Scott Goudie exhibition is a room full of prints, drawings and watercolours dating from 1977 to two weeks ago. The range of media demonstrates Goudie's artistry; the subject matter partly illustrates his extensive travelogue; and the changing, always recalibrating emphasis on shape and tone underscores his continual engagement with the environment around him. In other words: it makes an impression.
Goudie formally studied art (visual arts and music) in the early '70s, but even before that he was instructed by Paul Parsons, Don Wright and Gerald Squires.
"I was very lucky to have that kind of support," Goudie said.
The exhibition unfolds chronologically, starting with three aquatints from "St. John's Series" (which included 21 pieces when it debuted in 1977). These are downtown scenes, "Garrison Hill," the alley by the Duke of Dukeworth (before that august institution was established) and the Courthouse. They are cropped and framed intriguingly, the viewer looking up — as the artist did when he made his original sketches (later on he would supplement this groundwork with photographs).
There is always a sense of the artist being there, truly there; not as a passerby, but someone with a deep interest in the place.
One wall is covered with graphite and charcoal drawings and watercolours Goudie calls "faces of India," portraits and landscapes from a 1981 journey, inspired and completed right on the spot. Many are portraits — one shows a shepherd Goudie paid to sit for him.
"He hated Westerners. You can see that in his eyes, but what a face."
But others are broad urban or country vistas — "the landscape, I can't seem to get away from that."
Then the work returns to Newfoundland and Labrador, with prints such as "On the Ferryland Downs," showing Goudie's friend and mentor Squires, and then examples from a "Rock and Water" series. Goudie loves to fly-fish, a pursuit that dovetails nicely with his compositional preferences of rock, water and sky.
In the late '90s Goudie had an artist residency in Berlin, and "Gladiolas in my Flat," a rare interior, is the beautifully composed result, with a tall vase and speared flowers on a polished table backed by a hanging chandelier and night-lit window.
Throughout these, Goudie's hues have mainly been in black and white, a monochromic scale that does not seep away anything of clarity or volume. In the 21st century, though, he begins to experiment with colour, "opening them up a bit more."
Several of the works which display this are from Labrador, especially concerning Muskrat Falls and the Torngat Mountains.
"I've been painting (Muskrat Falls) for 20 years. I want to do an exhibition before they dam it. It's a powerful place."
In 2009, he took a trip to Italy, as can be seen here, and, later, Iceland: "Gullfoss/Golden Falls" is actually the location of the opening scene of Ridley's Scott's "Prometheus," which startled Goudie when he saw the film at the theatre.
He understands why director Scott chose the site, for sure. "There's no human scale. When you stand in a place like that it makes you feel so tiny."
Of course, this is also what he finds in Labrador, where he plans to return (as well as to Italy and Iceland). But his Labrador pieces, for now, might hold the kernel and the promise of Goudie's work. Asked to pick one work that could represent his entire output so far, Goudie selected representations of either Muskrat Falls or the Torngat Mountains.
"There is atmosphere, and landscape, and water, which I've been dealing with all my life.
"Labrador is massively big. These cliffs are 3,000, 4,000 feet. And close to there they are a mile high. That is a mile of granite going down to the ocean. I'm in awe of all of it."
"Scott Goudie — Celebrating 35 Years" continues at the Christina Parker Gallery until Dec. 22.

Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
I don't think you meant to quote ilive....
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
There are a lot of players on a similar level as Danny who have gotten max contracts, hell there are players worse than Danny who have gotten max contracts, like All-Star games that is pretty meaningless. He might have put up 20-10, but his teams, prior to Miami, were on a similar level as Danny's teams. I've been ragging on him since well before it was cool, because simply he was never that good. Both he and Granger are all-star level talents, but neither are Hall of Fame level. Lots of players can put up stats, or receive a huge contract in the NBA. That doesn't make them a Hall of Fame talent.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
...really. Now why would you say that. I happen to agree with him.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Is there a reason you are seemingly always ridiculously sarcastic to me? I was trying to help you out because it sounded like you were trying to argue Eleazar's point.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
Goodbye Captain, My Captain. I wish you had the chance to sink or swim with your ship on its quest for the "ship".
Granger is a really good player, but I think part of the confusion centers on the numbers Danny put up under Jim O'Brien coached teams. Jim had a free flowing offense that led to Mike Dunleavy averaging 19.1ppg and over 42% from three. People were literally talking about Mike as an all-star. Well, under Jim's system Granger and Dunleavy were awesome offensive players. Not so much defensively. But the point is, the numbers Granger had were inflated just as Mike's were inflated...as compared to most teams they might be on. So, you really have to factor in the history. Even now, Bosh is playing 3rd fiddle to James and Wade and he's still putting up 17ppg, 53% from the floor and he's now a good 3pt shooter. He had 5 years above 22ppg. Granger had only 2...even with the benefit of JOb style coaching.
As unfortunate as it is to say because I cannot stand Bosh and I like Danny, Bosh is indeed a much better player.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
A list that mostly consisted of accomplishments from a team that wasn't even 10 years old when Bosh was drafted. When you are the only good player a team has had play for you team for longer than just a few years it isn't hard to get to the top of the lists. In many cases he wouldn't even make it to the top 5 in Pacers history, and in some not even top 10.
As well you missed the part where Granger was on the 2010 Gold Medal winning World Championship team, or that while you included Bosh as being part of the rookie all-star game you neglected to mention that so did Granger.
All-NBA Second Team: 2006–07
NBA All-Rookie Team: 2003–04
NBA Rookie All-Star Game: 2003–04; 2004–05
Bronze medal winner with Team USA at the 2006 FIBA World Championship
Gold medal winner with Team USA at the 2008 Summer Olympics
Team record with Raptors option 44.2% (7 seasons) - 2 playoff appearances lost in 1st round both times (team they lost to lost in the second round)
NBA All-Star (2009)
NBA Most Improved Player (2009)
NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2006)
NBA Rookie All-Star Game: 06; 07
Gold medal winner with Team USA at the 2010 FIBA World Championship
Team record with Pacers prior to his injury 46.4 (7 seasons) Playoffs 3 seasons (lost in first round twice (once to an ECF team) and lost once in 2nd round to eventual NBA Champs)
As far as I am concerned that is the comparison right there.
By the way BnG, I have never said Granger was better than JO. In his prime JO was obviously more talented than both Granger and Bosh.
Daschysta so you are saying two season with a better PPG than Bosh's best season is comparable to Bosh's average season? Granger's scoring statistics are actually quite similar to Bosh's, especially when you look at per 36. When you go beyond popularity Granger and Bosh are very similar players for their respective positions.
For Danny's best 4 statistical years in Indiana (19, 20, 24 and 25ppg), the Pacers were never over .500. Best record was .451...the year he averaged 20ppg.
If Bosh was the only good player on the Raptors, piling up stats...and he wasn't as good as Granger....how in the world do you explain the records? How could Bosh, all alone and no better than Danny...lead that team to a much better record?
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
You can't just neglect what Bosh has accomplished in Miami because who he plays with.
i agree, but he is not the reason they've won the last 2 titles. Lebron is solely the reason they have won them. Lebron won Miami games 5 and 7 this past year vs IND and Ray Allen saved them in game 6 vs SA.
Smothered Chicken!
Goodbye Captain, My Captain. I wish you had the chance to sink or swim with your ship on its quest for the "ship".
LeBron is the main reason yes. But if its just LeBron and Wade with an average PF in Miami, they don't win a single title. Bosh has been an important cog to that team.
I'll go a step further: I think Bosh has been a more important cog to the Heat than Wade during the title runs. I don't think Bosh is a first option on a title contending team, but he has adapted to his role in Miami perfectly.
We could all die tomorrow... true.
Your time is limited when you're 80.
And I'm assuming we have no billionaires on this site so none of us know what that is like.
It's his money so he can do as he pleases. I just know if I had that kind of money and I was closer to the end of the spectrum, I'd like to enjoy it a bit. I imagine the Pacers are his biggest hobby. My favorite teams are a huge hobby for me, and again... I have nothing invested other than enjoyment of the game and seeing them be successful. If I was 80 and had a networth of 2 billion dollars, I'd be willing to burn 50 million in a fire place to go above the luxury tax if it meant a title(s).
Again... I won't fault him whatever he chooses. It's his money. Even if we overlook the fact that he has 10-20 years left at best, the Pacers winning means a lot to a lot of people. I've never been to a Pacers game because I've never been to Indiana but I became a fan and I'm a diehard fan. If seeing them win means this much to me, it should mean more to him and even more to fans who are in Indy and have been lucky enough to attend games. I'm just a fan and I have this strong of an opinion. I couldn't imagine how strongly I'd feel as an owner. And to some extent, he should feel a slight obligation to oblige to fans. Without the fans, the team doesn't exist because there would be nobody buying tickets. It's a win-win-win if he spends the extra money. He puts together the best team possible for as long as possible. He can win titles. And he can give the fans titles.
Given his age and bank account... I say go all out. I wouldn't burn the house down but I'd gladly go from 2 billion to 1.9 billion if it meant my team won titles as I rode off into the sunset. --- I don't even think he'd lose 100 million to pay for both Stephenson and Turner to go into the luxury tax. In the end, he might lose 50 million for 3 years of going above the luxury tax. That would totally be worth it for 1 title. If not 3. This is a great team. A lot of teams don't get opportunities like this and you have no opportunities like this when you're gone.
I'm just saying... we're all living on borrowed time. I'm under 30 so I expect to live for a while longer. At the age of 80.... I wouldn't expect to make it to 100. In fact, I wouldn't want to live to 100. That's a personal preference though. I just feel like given the point he's at in his life, why not? Would you rather die with a large digital number in your bank account or witness your favorite team win a championship? I don't know about you, but I don't find much excitement in looking at my bank statement. If he fancies that, to each their own.
Fantastic offensive rebound and pass by Bosh as well.
What the Pacers really want to avoid is paying the tax multiple years and getting into the repeater tax. We want to save our luxury tax for as long as possible because eventually Roy's deal expires and he'll be capable of making a lot more money. We have to avoid the luxury tax now in the event that we need it a couple of years down the line. As nice as it sounds to splurge and pay Evan and Lance right now, you're crippling the team for the next 3-5 years by doing it.
Roy can opt out after next year and I don't even think we can pretend to not pay him a max 30% deal. That's why it would really help to have Scola's deal come off the books at the same time as Roy and we can't really afford to dump Scola next year and spend that money on Lance or Evan. It's going to be really hard to keep either of them but I think Bird will get that done. Keeping both is almost out of the question.
With the way he's played lately ?? Too many 5 point, 3 rebound games to think he's worth that much.
I think he'll pick that up and play more aggressively as the season winds down. However it doesn't matter, he's the best defensive player in the nba and a franchise player because of that. If we don't want to make it seamless and hand him the max contract the day he opts out, then he'll have a number of teams in line to do it.

IOWA CITY, Iowa—A pilot was caught transporting a large shipment of high-grade marijuana from California to the east coast when his plane stopped at a rural Iowa airport for maintenance, according to a criminal complaint released Thursday.
Angelo P. Efthimiatos was the pilot of a small Piper aircraft that landed Tuesday morning at the municipal airport in Washington, Iowa, where he hoped to refuel and have workers inspect a mechanical problem, according to the complaint.
The Department of Homeland Security Air and Marine Operations Center, which is based in California and tasked with combating drug smuggling, was monitoring the flight, and asked local police to inspect his pilot's license and other aircraft documents.
Efthimiatos claimed he would retrieve the documents from the plane, but said he could not find them after he looked in a briefcase, the complaint says. A trained police dog was brought in to sniff the air around the plane, and gave an alert indicating the presence of controlled substances, it says.
Investigators later found 55 pounds of high-grade marijuana during a search of the plane, which may have a street value of $220,000 or more, the complaint says.
After Homeland Security agents arrived at the airport, Efthimiatos admitted to them during an interview that he was transporting drugs from California to the eastern part of the country for the fourth of fifth time, the complaint says. Efthimiatos explained that others had loaded the marijuana onto the plane, and he was planning to use a car after he landed to transport the drugs to another location on the east coast, where it would be retrieved by someone else, the complaint says.
Efthimiatos made an initial court appearance at the federal courthouse Davenport on Wednesday, and was ordered jailed pending a hearing Monday. He is charged with conspiring to distribute marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Efthimiatos did not enter a plea at the appearance, and a public defender appointed to represent him didn't immediately return a phone message. His age and address were not immediately available.

School districts, PTAs, and parents across the country have grappled with the issue of banning chocolate and flavored milk for years, and a new study from Cornell sheds new light on just how counterproductive such bans really are.
According to the study, published in a recent issue of PLOS ONE, researchers for the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs have found that when chocolate milk is removed from school cafeterias, students aren't reaching for non-flavored milk.
Instead, researchers found that students:
- Reduce consumption of non-flavored milk by 10 percent
- Waste 29 percent more milk than before the chocolate milk ban
- Consumed fewer calories and less sugar but also less protein and calcium
- Stopped eating school lunch altogether; participation in the school's lunch program dropped by 7 percent
In the end, a ban on chocolate milk may be causing more harm than good.
"There are other ways to encourage kids to select white milk without banning the chocolate," Brian Wansink, co-author and Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, said. "Make white milk appear more convenient and more normal to select. Two quick and easy solutions are: Put the white milk in the front of the cooler and make sure that at least 1/3 to 1/2 of all the milk is white."
Read more from Cornell here or watch the embedded video above.
One Oregon school district found a similar result after chocolate milk was removed from lunch menus. However, less than a year after initially eliminating the popular drink to comply with the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act, the school reinstated chocolate milk after parents proved students weren't turning to white milk and instead dumped an average of 72 percent of their non-flavored milk cartons each day. See, "Chocolate milk reinstated in Oregon school district."
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta noted that "milk with sugar is better than none at all."
"About half the students in the county live around the poverty level. For many, school lunch and breakfast are the main meals of the day," Gupta said. "Without milk, local doctors said, kids weren't getting enough vitamin D, vitamin A, calcium, or potassium."

Mistakes Haunt UMass
by Joe Meloni/CHN Reporter
ROCHESTER, N.Y. Throughout their 2006-2007 season, the Massachusetts Minutemen learned to deal with a lack of consistent offensive production. The superb play of sophomore goaltender Jon Quick paired with being Hockey East's least penalized team was usually enough to offset the paltry offensive numbers.
The Minutemen rode this formula to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament on Saturday, dropping a 3-1 decision to Maine.
In their fifth contest with the Black Bears this month, the Minutemen received another great performance from Quick — 26 saves — but found themselves in the penalty box eight times, putting them at the mercy of one of the nation's top power plays; the Black Bears convert man advantages into goals 25 percent of the time.
Maine lived up to its billing, converting on two of the eight power plays yielded to them by the Minutemen.
The penalty minutes alone didn't kill the Minutemen. The products of spending so much time sliding back and forth in their own zone trying to prevent quality shots from the likes of Michel Leveille and Teddy Purcell would prove their undoing.
In the third period alone, the Minutemen committed three penalties in less than four minutes. At the 4:57 mark, junior Matt Burto went off for hooking and just 45 second later, junior Mike Kostka joined Burto in the box for a slashing minor.
Maine converted the two-man advantage when Matt Duffy took a shot from the point that found its way through traffic and Quick to extend the Black Bear lead to two and effectively put UMass away.
"The third goal really took the wind out of our sails," UMass coach Don Cahoon said. "That third goal was on the power play and it really sapped the energy from us."
At a point in the game where they should've been putting together rushes in hopes of creating scoring chances, the Minutemen had to spend time in their own zone watching Maine string pass after pass together as time continued to melt away.
UMass' best offensive players also happen to be some of their best penalty killers. Sophomore Cory Quirk, UMass' first line center, plays on the top penalty killing unit as does second line winger P.J. Fenton.
"I had to use some of my best scorers over and over again killing penalties," Cahoon said. "So you're trying to get some offense from guys that have killed penalties pretty well. And they've been on the ice far too much so it's kind of a double edged sword."
The avalanche of penalty calls made it nearly impossible for the Minutemen build any momentum. Even after senior Matt Anderson's wrister from the high slot cut the Maine lead to one, the Minutemen found a way to put themselves at a disadvantage.
In the final minute of the second period, UMass freshman Will Ortiz skated into the Maine zone looking to even the 2-1 score but officials suddenly whistled the play dead. The Minutemen got careless while performing one of the most basic tasks in all of college hockey - a line change. A UMass player left the bench too early, leaving the Minutemen a man down for the remainder of the second period and the first 1:07 of the third.
So rather than starting the decisive third period on the offensive, UMass again found themselves sitting in the box formation watching Michel Leveille and Mike Lundin slide the puck back and forth.
"It was really hard to keep our composure and 'stay up' as I say," Anderson said. "Over that past three weeks, I feel like we've had our best jump in the third period. Before the third period, I thought we had some momentum. But it became pretty challenging after that."

Gattis' heroics force Fredi to find him playing time
ATLANTA -- Now that All-Star catcher Brian McCann and right fielder Jason Heyward have returned from their extended stints on the disabled list, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez faces the challenge of finding playing time for Evan Gattis.
With the Braves currently working with a six-man bullpen, there has been reason to wonder if they might stop carrying three catchers by sending Gattis back to the Minors. But those thoughts seemed to disappear as Gattis drilled a decisive two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of Saturday night's 3-1 win against the Dodgers at Turner Field.
"It's almost better that you can put him wherever you want in a situation, but sooner or later, we need to get him three to four at-bats," Gonzalez said after Saturday's win. "You can't go from pinch-hit to pinch-hit and survive in the big leagues."
Gattis hit .261 with seven home runs while serving as the primary catcher through the first 30 games this season. The 26-year-old rookie started in left field in six of the first 10 games after McCann returned from offseason shoulder surgery on May 6.
But with Heyward returning to the lineup Friday for the first time since his April 22 appendectomy, there is no longer a regular spot in the lineup for Gattis. His opportunities to play left field and first base are blocked by Justin Upton and Freddie Freeman, and his opportunities to catch are blocked by McCann and Gerald Laird, who has served as the primary backup since McCann returned.
"The guys that you can play [Gattis] for are pretty good players," Gonzalez said. "Do you take Justin [Upton] out? Or do you take [Freddie] Freeman out and let [Gattis] play first? You've got McCann and Laird [catching]."
With all of that said, Gonzalez seems determined to find playing time for Gattis, who has hit eight home runs and collected six-game-winning RBIs through the first 116 at-bats of his career. Both of his pinch-hit home runs were game winners.
"You have to pitch [to] him," Gonzalez said. "You make a mistake, and he can run you out of the ballpark from foul pole to foul pole."
