TPWD Predicting Typical Quail Season
AUSTIN, Texas — Like most coveys, quail are going to be bunched up and could be tough to find during the upcoming hunting season, unless you're hunting on land being managed with quail in mind, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
"This year, a little ground work on the front end will make a big difference in the quality of the hunt," said Robert Perez, TPWD quail biologist. "I would recommend hunters go early and scout out areas to try and locate birds ahead of time."
The statewide quail season runs from Oct. 28–Feb. 25. The daily bag limit is 15, 45 in possession. Legal shooting hours for all non-migratory game birds are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. The bag limit is the maximum number that may be killed during the legal shooting hours in one day.
With quail hunting, opportunity is tied directly to production and this year's crop of birds looks to be average at best, according to TPWD quail census data.
Ideal quail production occurs in years that remain wet and cool during the spring and early summer months because it extends the window of opportunity for reproduction, according to Perez. He noted hens typically would make as many nesting attempts as conditions allow until they pull off a successful clutch. This year, conditions became hot and dry from late spring through September, which could have an impact on extended nesting success.
This year, most of the state experienced and unusually dry winter followed by less than average spring and summer rainfall. For these reasons quail production was delayed in some areas until rains fell, in other areas quail never really had much of an opportunity to nest due to lack of moisture.
"Had it rained earlier in August we might have seen some late production, but as it turned very little production over the course of the summer," Perez noted. "In parts of South Texas that did have timely rains — a few showers across the summer — they're covered up in birds, but it is extremely localized. During our October buffer area quail surveys in the Rolling Plains, we heard a lot of birds, so it appears there are more places in that region that pulled off successful production and wider production than in other areas."
Here's a summary of quail production around the state, based on annual census surveys conducted by TPWD and what hunters can expect to find this season.
Rolling Plains
Those parts of the Rolling Plains region that received more spring/summer rainfall are where quail were most successful. Overall production was less than average with small brood sizes being reported by field staff. There were was also a good amount of carryover birds from the previous season.
The average number of bobwhites observed per route was 14 compared to 37 last year. This is below the long term average of 23 and is indicative of a below average season. However, good bobwhite hunter opportunities will be found in areas under proper range management and in areas that received the most favorable weather conditions. Public hunting opportunities can be found at the Matador Wildlife Management Area and the Gene Howe WMA.
South Texas Plains
Drought conditions affected south Texas to a greater degree than the Rolling Plains. High daily temperatures combined with low rainfall hindered bobwhite reproductive efforts. However, scattered rains fell at a scale too small for this survey to detect. In these areas, quail were more successful, especially where range was being properly managed. Field staff reported very little production but confirmed that certain areas, especially in the eastern half (more coastal) were holding fair numbers of birds.
The average number of bobwhites observed per route was 3 compared to 9 last year. This is well below the long term average of 20 and is predictive of a below average hunting season. The Chaparral and the Daughtrey WMAs provide public quail hunting opportunities.
The Trans-Pecos ecological region of Texas has experienced well above average populations of scaled quail for the past three years. Although still above average, scaled quail counts are down from an average of 34 birds observed per route last year to 19 birds per route this year. Reports from the western edge of the Edwards Plateau (the Stockton Plateau) also indicate above average populations of scaled quail.
Public hunter opportunities can be found at Elephant Mountain and Black Gap WMAs.
Other Areas
Our surveys indicate that bobwhite numbers in Gulf Prairies, Cross Timbers, and Edwards Plateau are all below their respective long term averages. Although there are certainly areas within each region where some quail hunting opportunity remains, there were not many parts of the state that were not affected by summer drought.
Access to hunting on TPWD managed public land is available with the purchase of a $48 Annual Public Hunting Permit, which can be bought wherever hunting licenses are sold, online at http://tpwd.texas.gov/licenses/online_sales/ or by calling toll free (800) 895-4248. There is a $5 convenience fee for online and phone purchases.

SAN FRANCISCO — The rain that blew through the Bay Area over the weekend did more that just provide a small band-aid to the state's water supply. It also caused some leaking inside its newest bridge.
Bay Bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon confirmed Sunday that rainwater is dripping into the eastern span of the bridge beneath the road deck on the suspension part of the bridge. The bridge is made of steel, and any combination of steel and water can lead to corrosion.
But Gordon said the bridge is not in peril, and that engineers anticipated the problem after construction on the new span was finished. The project was finished and the new bridge opened on Labor Day.
"This was not unexpected," he said. "Whatever the problem may prove to be, we will be able to fix it."
Gordon said holes for excessive water to escape before reaching steel were built into bolts that are drilled into the steel structure, and that protective primer and caulk also protect the steel from any corrosion.
He also emphasized that the public is not at risk even though the leak is not fixed.
"This is almost welcome," Gordon said. "It's not something we could've worked on without rain, because you're not going to get permits from the city that allow you to dump buckets and buckets and buckets of water, so you can assess the situation. Mother Nature doesn't need a permit."

Hamilton running, nearing Cactus debut
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Hamilton ran the bases at the Angels' Spring Training complex for the first time on Saturday morning, and Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he "felt great" doing so.
Running the bases is the final step in Hamilton's recovery from a strained left calf, which he suffered during a baserunning drill on Feb. 25. If he doesn't feel uncommon soreness on Sunday, the Angels' outfielder could make his Cactus League debut as early as Monday -- the Angels' third and final split-squad day, with the home game coming against the Giants.
But Scioscia was non-committal when asked specifically about a Monday return, saying: "We're looking at at least one recovery day, and then we'll see where he is. But early next week is when we're anticipating him being ready to play."

Sunday's game
Who: Colts at Ravens.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Radio: WFBQ-94.7 FM.
The Indianapolis Colts expect their top draft pick in 2005 to provide the same type of impact on the defense as last year's top pick.
While safety Bob Sanders contributed down the stretch last season, he was unavailable early in the season. It appears cornerback Marlin Jackson will face a similar fate.
Jackson, the 29th overall pick in the April draft, is expected to miss the Colts' season opener at Baltimore on Sunday night. In 2004, Sanders, selected 44th overall, missed the first five games of the season while recovering from a foot injury.
Jackson's practice time has been limited since he suffered an injury to his right shoulder in the preseason finale at Cincinnati. His availability against the Ravens will be determined prior to the game, but on Friday coach Tony Dungy didn't sound optimistic.
"He was better, but hasn't practiced all week," Dungy said. "I'd say it's doubtful."
The news was even worse for linebacker Rocky Calmus. He will not play Sunday and could miss significant time after suffering a pulled hamstring in Thursday's practice. A long-term injury for Calmus might require the Colts to bring in another linebacker.
The Colts obtained Calmus in a trade with Tennessee last weekend. He had started 12 games in three seasons, but also missed 21 games because of a variety of injuries.
The team is expected to learn today whether tight end Dallas Clark will gain medical clearance. He has been held out of team drills this week because of a concussion.
Defensive end Dwight Freeney was back on the practice field Friday after missing the previous day with soreness in one of his feet.

A CHARITY event which fell victim to the recent floods is back on the calendar.
Water is not usually a problem for swimmers, but the Winchester Rotary Swimathon, due to be held at Winchester College on February 22, was postponed when the pump room at the college's pool in Kingsgate Street became submerged.
The fundraiser will now go ahead on April 12.
Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Ernie Jeffs, has put his weight behind the event.
He said: "The work that the Rotary does is very laudable and their work is voluntary, so I always try to get behind them whenever possible.
"I might get the trunks out - we'll have to see!"
The event is the fifth to be held in Winchester and residents are encouraged to put a team together to swim in relay for 55 minutes.
Proceeds will go to the mayor's chosen charities: the Countess Mountbatten Hospice, Hounds for Heroes, and the Network Scouts.
Entrants are also asked to donate £25 from any sponsorship money to the Rotary Trust Fund.
Last year's event saw more than 100 swimmers turn out at St Swithun's School, forming 28 teams and raising more than £10,000 for charity.
Peter Symonds College will be looking to preserve its sterling record in the event, having swum the most lengths last year - an impressive 207.

The Game samples Guster on New Album
West coast Hip Hop icon The Game sampled alt-pop pioneers Guster on his new song "Pot Of Gold" featuring Chris Brown. The track is featured on The Game's new The R.E.D. Album, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and features a large portion of the Guster classic "Rocketship" from the band's 2007 classic "Goldfly". You can watch the video for The Game's new Guster-sampled track here, and read a a witty Q&A the band did regarding the song on their website.
The band will be donating a portion of the money they earn from "Pot of Gold" to the Crittenton Women's Union. Drummer Brian Rosenworcel offered this statement regarding their reaction to being sampled for this song, as well as their reasoning for choosing Crittenton Women's Union to donate their proceeds. "Mostly we're flattered to have been sampled in a hit song. I don't think it'll send droves of people out to discover our "Goldfly" album, but we're excited that we can make a donation to a worthwhile charity with money that comes in from this. I have a friend who works at Crittenton Women's Union in Boston, and they do great work helping survivors of domestic abuse become economically independent".
The band is currently on tour with Jack's Mannequin in support of their new E.P. On The Ocean. Even Hurricane Irene couldn't keep the band off the road, as they ran into some pretty crazy weather on route. They documented their experience with Irene here, as they made their way from New York to their show that night in Indiana. Check out their remaining dates below.

The difficult part of Jurgen Klinsmann's year is over, but questions remain for the U.S. national team coach as he begins to plan for even more challenging obstacles in 2013.
First, there's the Nov. 14 exhibition against Russia, which Klinsmann called "one of the best teams in Europe at the moment." With the FIFA international date falling during the MLS Cup semifinals, the roster for the game in Krasnodar will be impacted by playoff results over the next seven days. The distance to the Black Sea city also will play a role.
"We can only put the final roster together in a week, pretty much," Klinsmann said Thursday. "Every time you have an opportunity like that and go into these countries to play Italy or Russia or other big nations, you've got to take that opportunity."
Then comes the question of the January camp.
For years, the U.S. has staged a lengthy training camp during the winter, primarily for MLS players and those based in the Scandinavian leagues that break at the same time. Although the games that end "Camp Cupcake" usually come against second-tier opposition, the opportunity for fringe national team players to prove themselves has proved invaluable. This year, defender Geoff Cameron and midfielder Graham Zusi built on good performances in January to become starters.
But with the final round of World Cup qualifying set to start in early February (the U.S.'s 10-game schedule will be established next Wednesday), Klinsmann might not have time to run the camp and prepare for the matches that really matter.
"We are right now discussing the entire approach for January," he said Thursday. "It's a bit tricky because we don't have the schedule yet. We want to wait until next week when we finally have the schedule for the qualifiers, to see whether it starts with a home game on Feb. 6 or (if) there's an away game.
"I'm in touch with quite a lot of coaches from Major League Soccer about the topic of a January camp that was traditionally set up. We'll need to figure out what is the best way to approach it. It also depends on the roster for that Feb. 6 game -- how many Europeans, how many MLS-based players. It depends on the MLS calendar for next season so there's still a bit of homework to get done. We haven't finalized it yet and (U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati) and I wanted to have a deeper discussion and then everybody involved, over the next 10 days, once we finally have our schedule for the Hexagonal."
Klinsmann then went on to say there still is a "big case" to be made for maintaining the January camp tradition.
"We are always looking for new faces," he said. "We want to dig into the MLS player pool, and we want to see where the players are. ... We want to help the Under-23 generation that went through a tough 2012 because of not qualifying for London."
At the same time, he must establish some consistency at the top end of the player pool for the tough qualifiers to come -- chemistry and experience will pay dividends in Mexico, Costa Rica and Honduras.
"Maybe we reduce the time of the camp or lead the camp into that Feb. 6 fixture date so we start it much later, like in the middle of January, and go straight into that Feb. 6 date," he said.
Klinsmann no longer is as adamant that MLS players with national team ambitions spend time on loan during the offseason. Last year, the coach lamented the relatively short length of the MLS campaign (compared to leagues abroad) and argued that a longer break put American players at a disadvantage.
This year, with the MLS season lasting about two additional weeks, Klinsmann said, "We feel comfortable with the break they have now going forward. ... Overall, from a schedule point of view, we are fine with how it is laid out right now."
Klinsmann has said several times that he's looking to build two rosters for 2013 -- one team to tackle the World Cup qualifying schedule and another side for next summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup. That Gold Cup team likely will include several players with minimal international experience, including members of this year's Under-23 national side. That is yet another reason to implement some kind of expanded practice schedule in January.
"It's an important point to get your hands on those younger guys and see where they're at," Klinsmann said. "It is an important point to consider a January camp for them. At the same time, we look at them to see how they dealt with that (Olympic) disappointment. ... In 2013, there will be plenty of opportunities for those youngsters to show what they're capable of."
Klinsmann must monitor that complex big picture while at the same time improving his first-choice side and further implementing the style of soccer he wants his team to play.
Landon Donovan's mental and physical health must be evaluated, an apparent rift with Jozy Altidore also must be healed (Klinsmann's evasive response to a reporter's question about the AZ Alkmaar striker may have been the shortest of any kind since he took the job) and a bit more work establishing a pecking order among the back four likely is required.
It won't be easy, but Klinsmann has established a good foundation. The U.S. is 9-2-2 in 2012, among the best one-year records in recent memory, finished first in its semifinal-round qualifying group and earned big road wins at Italy and Mexico.
"The year was highly interesting," he said.
Next year will be even more so, and for Klinsmann it already has begun.

Wise move on bases leads Yanks to victory
Overbay avoids DP long enough to allow go-ahead run to score
NEW YORK -- Lyle Overbay wisely stalled in the basepath long enough for the Yankees to grab the lead in the sixth inning and their bullpen pitched lights-out the rest of the way, holding on for a 5-4 win over the Astros on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Overbay knew he couldn't run into a double play with one out and runners at the corners, so when Ichiro Suzuki chopped an infield grounder, Overbay paused. The delay made second baseman Jose Altuve throw to first base, giving Eduardo Nunez time to scamper home with the go-ahead run.
"As soon as he hit it, I knew it was soft enough to where I wasn't going to be able to get by him, so I just stopped and waited," Overbay said. "It was kind of a no-brainer."
The unconventional twin-killing boosted the Yankees to their sixth win in seven games, as they squeezed 3 1/3 scoreless innings of relief from Boone Logan, David Robertson and closer Mariano Rivera.
"They did a great job," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "That's important. To compete in this division in the American League, your bullpen has to be a strong point for you. They've done a good job."
Ben Francisco hit his first home run in a Yankees uniform and Robinson Cano belted his team-leading eighth homer to power the attack against Astros starter Erik Bedard, who allowed four runs in four innings.
Cano's third-inning blast was also the 185th of his career, tying Paul O'Neill for 17th place on the Yankees' all-time list.
Jayson Nix knocked in Ichiro after a leadoff triple in the first, and Chris Stewart lifted a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the second inning off Bedard, who scattered six hits while walking four and striking out two.
"That's a good ballclub over there," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "They won the game, but at the same time, we played the game the way it's supposed to be played and put ourselves in position to have the opportunity to win, as well."
That early cushion seemed in good hands through the first three innings, as David Phelps faced the minimum nine batters in his first start of the season, but Phelps unraveled his second time through Houston's order.
The Astros batted around for four runs in a 30-pitch fourth inning, as Phelps hit two batters. Carlos Pena, Fernando Martinez, Brandon Barnes and Matt Dominguez all picked up RBIs in the inning against Phelps.
"I threw all right. I'm really happy we won that game," Phelps said. "The fourth inning killed all the momentum we built up. I've got to do better than that."
Phelps recovered after the troublesome frame, allowing eight hits with a walk and five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. He was disappointed, acknowledging that he could have used the start as a platform to state his case for more assignments in the rotation.
"It's one of the reasons I'm really frustrated with today, because I felt like I could have just really grabbed the reins and taken care of things," Phelps said. "But it's baseball. Stuff happens, and you've just got to do better next time."
The Yankees had chances to pile on against Houston's bullpen in the eighth, as Brett Gardner singled and stole two bases -- doubling his steal total for the season in the process.
Overbay worked a one-out walk and Ichiro was put aboard intentionally with two outs to load the bases, but Nix struck out swinging to strand three.
"They had some pretty good pitching out there in the late innings, so it's not as easy as it looks," Overbay said.
No matter, as Rivera improved to a perfect 11-for-11 this season in save opportunities, helped by a deft unassisted Cano double play on a Dominguez liner during the 619th save of his career.
"I didn't barrel it, but I thought I hit it pretty good and could get it over his head," Dominguez said. "He made a good play, and things just aren't going our way right now."
They are for the Yanks; the victory ended a 16-game stretch for New York heading into Thursday's off-day, during which they went 11-5 against the D-backs, Blue Jays, Rays and Astros.
"I think we managed to win every series, which is important," Girardi said. "I'm very pleased."

Retirement planning involves sacrificing a portion of what we earn today and investing that money in the hope that one day we'll have enough assets from which we can draw an income. But the Social Security and Medicare systems operate differently, taking a portion of earnings from today's workers to pay for the needs of today's retirees.
Just how much do we pay out in Social Security and Medicare taxes over a lifetime, compared to how much we receive in benefits? The answer depends on several variables, including gender, earnings, household configuration, the age at which we retire and our health. But generally, we receive far more in benefits than we pay into the system, according to new figures released by the Urban Institute.
The nonpartisan think tank released tables showing how much the average person receives in lifetime benefits versus how much he or she pays in taxes, assuming average life spans and a 2 percent real interest rate (meaning 2 percent above the inflation rate). A Q&A with Institute Fellow C. Eugene Steuerle, one of the authors of the study, explains the assumptions used in the calculations.
The upshot
No matter how much you pay into the system, whether you earn the average wage over a lifetime ($43,100 in 2010 dollars) or if you're in a two-income household where one earns a high wage and the other earns an average wage, you get back substantially more than you pay in. But those on the high end of the wage scale pay proportionally more in taxes than the average wage earner, not surprisingly.
Example: A male average earner who retired at age 65 in 2010 paid out $345,000 in total Social Security and Medicare taxes, but will receive $417,000 in total lifetime benefits ($464,000 for a woman).
A much bigger disparity in taxes versus benefits occurs for couples. In the case of a household with only one wage earner, the taxes paid out were $345,000, but the benefits received by both parties will be $778,000. For two-earner couples where one earned the average wage and the other earned a low wage ($19,400), tax payout was $500,000, but benefits will be $800,000.
Those who retired in decades past saw much bigger returns for their payroll tax investment.
But clearly this situation is not sustainable. It's like putting all your expenses on a credit card knowing full well you don't have the means to pay it back. Social Security is still fixable, but Medicare is a much bigger problem.
"What we're trying to point out through these numbers is that relying on deficits and income tax revenues to make up the gap in Medicare funding means cutting other things that government does or leaving heavy burdens for future generations to pay," says Steuerle. "We're all responsible for dealing with our large future projected deficits both as a whole and within our social welfare systems; we're not 'entitled' by any reasonable calculation to leave the costs of fixing them to younger generations."
It's really not fair to saddle young folks with these costs at the expense of economic growth, and the sooner our political leaders address this problem, the better for everyone.
But in an illogical move, the leadership in December cut payroll taxes by 2 percent through 2011.
We can fritter away this "found money" or do something smart with it, like increase our retirement plan contributions by at least that amount. If our leaders don't behave responsibly, it behooves us to do so.

Good thing Russell Wilson is a likeable person I can be happy for him because I hate that Pete Carroll has a ring beyond that Seattle doesn't bother me.
Irsay and Kravitz are thrilled I knew that as soon as Kravitz wrote that article they were going to get jinxed and Irsay pretending to want this for Manning. Well played.

3 Repeated Resume Flubs That Make You Look Dumb
October 3, 2013
What to do when your resume doesn't reflect a picture perfect career history.
By Laura Smith-Proulx,
Executive Resume Writer
If your career trajectory contains a few speed bumps such as a gap in work history or job hopping), you're among the multitudes in this job market.
Given the state of economic affairs over the past few years, most
job seekers
don't fit the classic picture of a "stable" work history at a single employer the way they once did.
Sr. Manager, Regulatory Affairs

Scientist, Protein Expression and Purification
Senior Scientist, Biologics ADME
Clinical Trial Leader
Bioinformatics Analyst III
I recently sat down with Jacquelyn Smith of Forbes.com to discuss ways of dealing with a not-so-perfect career history for what to do when your resume looks like bad news, reiterating that problematic job situations can often be overcome with just a few key changes to your
Here's how to address common "sticky" situations (ones that seem to trip up even the most well-qualified job seekers):
1. Job Gaps
A period of unemployment is no longer an automatic red flag to many employers. Therefore, you'll want to be as up front and concise as possible when dealing with a gap.
If you can give a "name" to a period that stretched in between jobs, then provide a descriptive term, such as Volunteer Work, Family Care, or College Studies.
Avoid mentioning specifics, such as a cancer scare or the number of children you have, as this is too much detail for a resume (and can knock you out of the running if employers think you're focused elsewhere).
And if you were merely job hunting during the gap, you'll want to consider leaving this off your resume – it's a given.
2. Job Hopping
Frequent job changes have, in recent years, become much more common than the long tenures (and 30-year gold watches) that used to be standard for most American careers.
If you've had jobs that lasted just a few months, consider adding them (without dates) at the end of your resume work history section in an area entitled "Additional Experience." That way, you can talk about the role and include it on a formal application, but it won't take up space in your career chronology.
If your last several positions ended in employer layoffs or downsizing from an acquisition, you can mention this fact (wrapped into the job description for that role), with a note such as "pursued sales opportunities until company went through acquisition" or "assisted to transition staff, while personally undergoing RIF."
These quick explanations of circumstances beyond your control can help prospective employers understand your situation (and avoid making the assumption that you left under different circumstances).
3. No Degree
Many professionals lack a degree—a fact might catch you by surprise. However, if it applies to you, it's often not a deal-breaker.
Many employers consider "some" college perfectly fine – and they're more interested in how you'll add to the bottom line than your scholastic activities. Still, here are ways to handle this on your resume:
If you've decided to start or go back to school during unemployment, list your degree program as "Studies for Bachelor's Degree," along with the school name.
This method also works well if you attended college, but did not graduate (as shown in this example of a Sales resume. No matter the situation, showing the program on your resume will assure employers that you have some college experience, which can suffice for many positions.
If you didn't attend college, consider whether you really need the education section of your resume. While you can list professional training, seminars, and other specialized education in this section, it's best to leave the entire category off if your training and academic experience is light.
Remember – what seems hugely problematic in your job search might be more the norm than you think!
Rather than dwelling on credentials or experience you don't possess,
you'll get better results by framing your experience in a way
that highlights your value proposition to employers.

YORKSHIRE coach Jason Gillespie is going to have one heck of a selection headache this weekend after a positive day for Yorkshire on and off the field.
As Gary Ballance scored an unbeaten 117 to help the White Rose close day one of their LV= County Championship match against Northamptonshire at Headingley on 328-7, England batsman Joe Root continued his recovery from a broken thumb.
If Root comes through a second XI appearance against Lancashire at Northop Hall, starting tomorrow, he will almost certainly play in Sunday's Championship match against Middlesex at Lord's.
And that leaves Gillespie with a problem at the top of his batting order.
Assuming Root opens the batting, which Andrew Gale said he would do in pre-season, then Gillespie will have to leave out one of Alex Lees or Adam Lyth.
Lyth has scored runs in previous matches against Leeds/Bradford MCCU and Somerset, while Lees impressed for 90 despite offering chances on 50 and 51.
He and Ballance shared 156 for the fourth wicket after Yorkshire had slipped to 57-3 just after lunch following Gale's decision to bat first.
"It's a great (selection) problem to have, absolutely," said Gillespie, who also gave his backing to England's expected move to appoint his good mate Paul Farbrace as their new assistant coach to Peter Moores.
"Mind you, I'm probably going to have a few sleepless nights, there's no doubt about that. I wouldn't want it any other way."
Root spent 15 to 20 minutes at lunch catching balls on the outfield with director of cricket Martyn Moxon, demonstrating no ill-effects following his lay-off since early March.
"Joe's absolutely fine," confirmed Gillespie. "He's going to be playing in the second-team game against Lancashire. He'll get the chance to have a knock, and hopefully he'll get through that so he can get back involved in the first team."
Yorkshire were in a sticky situation as they lost Lyth, Kane Williamson and Gale cheaply.
New ball bowler Mohammad Azharullah, who played league cricket in Yorkshire before moving to Wantage Road last year, took two of those wickets with significant swing on offer.
Canny seamer Andrew Hall was the pick of the visiting bowlers with 3-72 from 20 overs.
Six of the seven wickets fell lbw, but Ballance's 20th first-class hundred was chanceless.
This was his fourth in his last four first-class matches for Yorkshire dating back to the end of last season. He hit 18 fours and a six in 188 balls. Incredibly, in his last seven first-class innings for Yorkshire, he has scored 646 runs at an average of 129.2.
It is no surprise that Gillespie is backing Ballance to be part of Moores' first England team for the Sri Lanka Test series, starting June 12.
"He's currently in the Test side, and his form has been very strong thus far in the domestic season here. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be in," added Gillespie.
"Gary's got a real presence at the crease. He played the situation very well, but I think he plays situations very well in all forms of the game. He certainly showed his class."
Ballance and Ryan Sidebottom will resume on day two with the immediate task of getting a fourth batting point for passing 350.

One-third of the nation is in moderate or worse drought, with the worst of the drought staying to the west of the Missouri River.
The "Drought Monitor" report, released on Thursday, had good news for the Midwest – the so-called "flash drought" is showing signs of easing. In Iowa, where conditions were the worst in the region, 20 percent of the state is in moderate drought. This is down from the 42 percent reported in September.
However, further to the west, the news wasn't as positive.
The Plains states from Nebraska to Texas saw no improvement in the drought. For Kansas and Texas, conditions worsened from last week's report.
Nearly 40 percent of Kansas is experiencing abnormal dryness, compared to 5 percent reported on Nov. 7. Texas reported similar – albeit smaller – shifts.
California is the big story in drought, with 96 percent in moderate or worse drought. Twenty-eight percent of this is extreme drought, the highest percentage in this drought intensity reported since November 2007. If the precipitation trend continues, 2013 could be the driest year in California record books.
Meanwhile, drought is creeping slowly to the east. Much of the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard are seeing a spread of abnormal dryness, and the Climate Prediction Center sees this drought development continuing through the end of February.

Hello, I'm new to disc golf and looking for some critiques to my bag. I tend to throw in the 250-300ft range though occasionally I'll get a good rip on a disc and push it out past 300. I've been told by other guys on the course that I've got nice form, but they aren't pro players so that's probably got a grain of salt with it. I typically play two courses and they couldn't be more different. One is almost entirely under 500ft and the other is almost entirely over 500ft. Ideally my bag could play both courses without a lot of switching out. Not sure what other info you might need. I throw typically LHBH with a single step, but with discs like the Comet I can throw LHFH just as well. When I go out to play I like to get in a lot of holes [Friday I played 60] I also have a football field in my neighborhood where I set up some cones and practice with all my discs so I can get an idea what discs I like for what kind of throws.
So I'll list what I've got and put in the weights/plastics if I know them.
Avenger SS
Mirus [premiere edition] This is the disc I can sometimes push past 300 with, but it gets squirrelly too so I only use it on big open drives
Valkyrie [I think it's champion plastic] My first disc; a friend's old driver after he decide he liked a Beast better
*175g Comet elite X [pretty sure this is actually a touch heavier than 175, but that's what it calls itself]
170 Kite
174 Cobra
180 Shark [new]
*180 Shark [beat] use this for hammer throws or any throw where I'm going throw thick trees/bushes
171 KC Pro Roc
*2 Elite Z Buzzz's; I liked my first one so I bought a backup in case I put one into a lake or something.
*174g Pro-D Challenger
*Omega Super Soft
*My most confident discs. If I was limited to only a handful, these are the ones I'd pick.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Frequently General Product Questions Do you have any dairy/casein free products?Yes. The majority of Bob's Red Mill products are naturally dairy and casein free. Their line of gluten free products is dairy and casein free. All of their flours, cereals and grains are also dairy and casein free.

Can your baking mixes be made with dairy and egg alternatives?Yes. All of their baking mixes can be prepared with egg or milk alternatives. Where are Bob's Red Mill grains, beans and seeds grown?

Occasionally, ingredients are not available in North America and they look internationally for these items. Are Bob's Red Mill products genetically modified? No. All of Bob's Red Mill products come from identity preserved seeds. This means the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. Bob's Red Mill simply can't guarantee against cross pollination due to natural occurrences such as wind drift, so they do not label their products GMO-free. Do Bob's Red Mill products have additives or preservatives? No. Bob's Red Mill products do not contain additives or preservatives and all ingredients are clearly marked on their labels. How should I store my products?Bob's Red Mill products are best kept refrigerated or frozen in airtight containers. They strongly recommend refrigerating or freezing the following products due to their perishability: flaxseed meal, organic flaxseed meal, golden flaxseed meal, almond meal, hazelnut meal, wheat germ and active dry yeast (do not freeze). How long can I use a product after the "Sell By" date?If stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, a product can be useable 4 to 5 months past the "Sell By" date printed on the package. Because of the high oil content, whole grains can spoil easily. Bob's Red Mill recommends using the old adage, "when in doubt, throw it out." Are Bob's Red Mill's products certified kosher?Yes. All of their products are certified Kosher by Rabbi Avrohon Teichman of Kehilla Kosher of Los Angeles, CA.

Do not over beat eggs. Cookies: Usually no adjustments needed. Yeasted Breads: Decrease the yeast by 1/4 tsp. Use less flour per cup of liquid.

The rolled oats are made by stabilizing the whole oat groats, followed by steaming and rolling the oats to the desired thickness. This method is used for quick, regular and thick rolled oats. The cut oats they offer are the steel cut and Scottish oatmeal. These are made from the stabilized oat groat which is then cut. The Steel Cut Oats are cut into large pieces which produces a chewier texture oatmeal. The Scottish oatmeal is actually stone ground on their mills to produce a nice, creamy porridge. Which of Bob's Red Mill's grains can be sprouted?Any of Bob's Red Mill whole grains which have not been heated or hulled can be sprouted. This includes their wheat berries, Kamut berries, spelt berries, rye berries and triticale berries. Are potato starch and potato flour the same product?No. Potato starch and potato flour are not the same and cannot be interchanged in recipes. Potato starch is made from just the starch of the potato and has a neutral flavor. It is primarily used in gluten free baking and can also be used as a thickener. Potato flour is made from the whole potato and has a distinct potato flavor. It can be used as a thickener. Recipes which call for potato starch flour are referring to potato starch. What is the protein content of Bob's Red Mill's unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and organic hard white whole wheat flour? Unbleached White Flour = 12-13% protein Organic Unbleached White Flour = 11.5-12.5% protein Whole Wheat Flour = 13.5% min. protein Organic Whole Wheat Flour = 14% min. protein Whole Wheat Pastry Flour = 13% max. protein Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour = 12% max. protein Organic Hard White Whole Wheat Flour = 13-16% protein What is the difference between regular flour and pastry flour?Regular flour (white or whole wheat) is milled from hard red wheat and has a higher gluten content. It is excellent for baking bread and other yeast-risen baked goods. Pastry flour (white or whole wheat) is milled from soft white wheat and has a lower gluten content. It is excellent for baked goods using baking powder or baking soda as leavening agents. It should not be used for baked goods where yeast is used. Preserving Nutrition Through TraditionAt Bob's Red Mill, they know that you can't rush quality. That's why they manufacture their products using time-honored techniques, like grinding whole grains at cool temperatures with a traditional stone mill. This production 'secret' allows them to seal in the freshness and bring you wholesome, quality foods, just as nature intended. Their beautiful stone grinding mills are much like the ones used during early Roman times. And to this day, their quartz millstones remain the best way to produce the finest products available. Unlike high-speed steel rollers, their stone mills ensure the most nutritious parts of the whole grain remain, so they can pack all-natural goodness right into your bag. A Leader In Gluten FreeFor over 30 years, the Bob's Red Mill family has been committed to providing the very best in Gluten Free flours, cereals, baking mixes and grains for their friends on Gluten Free diets. So you could say they know a thing or two about what it takes to make a wide variety of the best products available. You see, they thoroughly batch test every Gluten Free product in their quality control laboratory upon delivery, during production and after packaging. To assure the integrity of all of their Gluten Free products, they adhere to a standard of no more than 19 parts per million of gluten. They've even built a separate Gluten Free packaging division complete with specialized machinery to make sure that their products maintain their purity--just as nature intended. By going to these lengths, they're able to ensure that folks with wheat allergies, celiac disease and gluten intolerance can trust that their products are safe to consume. Milling, Testing, Packaging, Distributing All Under One RoofThey have known from the first day they opened their doors in 1978 that to make the best products possible, they'd have to be able to do it all themselves. And with their state-of-the-art milling, packaging and distribution facility located right in Milwaukie, Oregon, they're able to guarantee quality, every step of the way. Bob's Red Mill takes great pride in handling all aspects of the production process in-house, starting with processing, washing and inspecting the grain, and ending with shipping the finished product to your door. Each product undergoes extensive quality control tests within their in-house laboratories. During this testing phase, their gluten-free offerings are segregated from their other products, and tested in special gluten-free-only 'clean room facilities.' But don't just take it from them; you can actually see the results of all their hard work. With their special clear packaging, you get to be the final judge of the quality and freshness of their products, before you take them home. Sourcing The Finest Products From Their Farms To Your TableTheir relationship with their product starts at the source, with the farmer who produces the grain. They maintain personal relationships with farmers from across the country and make an effort to visit their farms. Together, they ensure that they're offering the best product available, while always using best practices. Ensuring Certified Organic, Whole Grain GoodnessThey often hear the question from their customers, 'What does organic really mean?' It is, simply, a label assigned to foods that are produced without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and that do not contain genetically modified organisms (more commonly known as GMOs). Organic food production also supports farming methods that are deemed environmentally sound. They are proud to offer one of the largest lines of organic, whole grain foods in the country. When you see the 'USDA Organic' label on their products, you'll know that to earn that label, Bob's Red Mill had to complete a rigorous certification process through the USDA's National Organic Program. Bob Meet the Real Bob Before you get to know about their business, you need to meet the man behind it - Bob Moore. You'll recognize his friendly face on their products and if you ever tour their mill or visit the Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Store and Visitor's Center you might even get to meet the man himself. For over three decades, Bob has been committed to providing people everywhere with the best quality foods available. His passion for health and belief in taking care of one another is as strong today as it was when he first started the business with his wife, Charlee, all those years ago. Bob plays a fundamental role in the daily operations of the business and his enthusiasm and 'honest-to-goodness' approach are shared with every of one his employees. It's this passion for providing the very best nutritional whole grains that has helped make them the leading name in health foods across the country. How Bob's Red Mill BeganBob's journey began serendipitously in the mid '60s after coming across a book about old stone-grinding flour mills. His enthusiasm was immediate and he decided to find usable stone mills, which were becoming rarer due to the domination of high-speed steel roller mills. His persistence paid off. Equipped with several sets of millstones from an old North Carolina water-powered flour mill, Bob and his wife, Charlee, began their first mill in Redding, California. After a few years, they decided to pursue others interests and retired to Oregon City, Oregon in 1978. On an afternoon walk, Bob came across an old mill that, as luck would have it, had a big sign out front reading "for sale". In just a few short months, he was able to source a beautiful old mill that could stone grind flours and cereals for local customers. Word quickly spread and Bob's Oregon City based mill enjoyed much success until 1988 when a fire destroyed the building. Never one to back away from a challenge, Bob knew he owed it to his family of employees and loyal customers to build the business again from scratch. Rising to the challenge, he spent many years growing the business to where they are today. Their current site located in Milwaukie, Oregon is a 320,000 square foot facility covering some seventeen acres and produces thousands of products each day, all made with the same good old-fashioned techniques their customers have come to love and trust since their beginning. A Name You Can TrustTrust, honesty and integrity. These are the three principles their business is built on. Their packaging is a great example of this commitment: their clear bags that let you see the high quality of every one of their products. By producing the very best in whole grain foods, they're able to fulfill their commitment to help look after more and more people through better nutrition. Bob simply wouldn't have it any other way. An Employee Owned BusinessBob's 81st birthday was particularly special. Rather than receiving gifts, he decided to give his greatest gift away - his business. Bob surprised all his employees by giving them total ownership of Bob's Red Mill through an Employee Share Ownership Program (ESOP). For those who know Bob, it's yet another example of his kind-hearted generosity. As Bob puts it "It was just the right thing to do. I have people that have worked with me for over 30 years and each and every one of them deserve this." You can rest assured that every Bob's Red Mill employee is committed to sourcing, milling, testing, packaging, labeling and selling the finest products available. After all, it is their business.

IPad Market Share Bested by Nexus 7 in Japan

(Source: ibtimes.com)
Japan's largest business daily Nikkei said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price
Apple's iPad is notorious for being king of the tablets, but in Japan, this may no longer be the case.
Market research firm BCN conducted a survey in Japan last December to see what the tablet market share was looking like. Out of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, the iPad had 40.1 percent of the market while
Google's Nexus 7
claimed 44.4 percent.
Japan's largest business daily
said that the Nexus 7 is taking over mainly because of price. The Nexus 7 costs $199 USD while the cheapest iPad --
the iPad mini
-- is $329 USD. Both the Nexus 7 and iPad mini are 7-inch tablets.
However, the report did note that some stores in Japan have run out of the iPad mini, which may have affected the results a bit.
The iPad mini features a 7.85-inch display, 1024x768 resolution, Dual-core A5 processor, Lightning connector, 5 MP rear-facing camera, 1.2 MP front-facing camera, 720p HD video, 16GB/32GB/64GB storage options, 10-hour battery life, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and 4G LTE availability. The iPad mini starts at $329 for the 16GB version, $429 for the 32GB, and $529 for the 64GB.
Google's Nexus 7 is a tablet made by ASUS. It runs the latest version of the Android operating system, 4.1 Jelly Bean, and packs various features like a 7-inch IPS display with a 1280x800 resolution, a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, a 1.2 MP front-facing camera, NFC, Bluetooth, 802.11n wireless, GPS and 16GB/32GB versions. The 16GB version
starts at $199
while the 32GB runs $249.99.
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

Also it wasn't addressed specifically to you but more to old topic about fleas where many participants dont show any mercy to insects and other animals(mices), and admit that thay kill or would kill them if thay disturb their lives in any way.

Why I want to become a play therapist
Friday, October 11, 2013
A worker at a local agency attended the Play Therapy Clinic dedication in August. Afterward, she contacted the CARE Clinic to discuss what it would take for us to start seeing some children in play therapy.
The children are all in the process of being adopted. Justin Phillips, Whitney, Will, and I had a meeting with the four parents and woman from this agency. They told us their story, explained why they want counseling, and described their hopes for making the transition as smooth as possible for the children.
While they were talking, I could barely contain my excitement. I have a passion for working with children in foster care and families who are going through the adoption process. I have often wondered how God would use me to reach such a specific population, and now this opportunity fell into my lap. I quickly told the parents about my heart for this population and stated that I would be thrilled to work with their children.
I have since been blessed with the opportunity to meet with these children. After my first session with them, I understood more fully why I was passionate about this population. It is clear how much God has protected them and what resilient spirits they have. One child was amazed at all of the sand tray figurines, and she asked, "Where did you get all of these?" Another asked me, "So, do we get to come here every week?" When I answered yes, the child smiled and said, "Yay!"
I am amazed by how God has orchestrated my life up to this point. I have always known that I wanted to work with kids, and play therapy is the avenue I chose to use. Six months before I graduated with my bachelor's degree, I had no idea where I wanted to go to graduate school. God brought John Brown University's program onto my radar, and it ended up being the only school I applied to. I knew no one before moving here, but God came before me by preparing a roommate, an apartment, a job, a group of friends, and a church for me. God brought me to John Brown University right when the new Play Therapy Clinic was being built, and I am blessed to be one of the first interns to use the facility.
Working with clients allows me to help provide hope and healing for hurting children and families. Because of the work I get to do and by God's grace, generations will be impacted. I love being able to say that I am a part of His bigger story, and I cannot wait to see what the next chapter will hold!

Most people won't give a ****, but the editors of the Indy Star sports pages hit a new low today as far as I am concerned.
They edited out references to the Indiana Pacers in a story carried on the sports page written by Phil Sheridan, an Associated Press writer, on the trading deadline this week in the NBA.
Sheridan listed the Indiana Pacers as being one of the teams most likely to be interested in a trade. He also listed Ron Artest as a player whose name is being bandied about in trade rumors.
The Star carried Sheridan's article word for word. Except, references to the Indiana Pacers and Ron Artest were deleted from the story.
Who is running the Star sports page? A former editor of Pravda?
Sheridan's actual story:
My emphasis on :Indiana Pacers and Ron Artest. Not Sheridan's.Along with the Timberwolves, the Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers are the favorites to make something happen before the league's trading deadline passes Thursday afternoon.
Sacramento's Chris Webber, New York's Kurt Thomas, Toronto's Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall, Indiana's suspended Ron Artest, Memphis' Bonzi Wells, Portland's Damon Stoudamire, Nick Van Exel and Ruben Patterson, Miami's Eddie Jones and the Lakers' Lamar Odom were among the names being bandied about in trade rumors over the weekend.
If you care to check, you will see the Star ran the same article verbatim, except Sheridan's inclusion of the Indiana Pacers and Ron Artest were deleted.
Yuk! Extremely dishonest and insulting to Pacers fans who look to the Star for insight and information.
If the editors disagreed with Sheridan's analysis, which I do by the way, why did they bother running the article in the first place? It was, after all, mostly a summary of trade rumors that anyone of us who follows the NBA daily on the Internet could have written. He broke no new ground.
I originally wrote that this is a relatively small matter. But, after additional review, I really don't believe that. If a newspaper sports section has no credibility on something insignificant like this, what the heck will it do when faced with something important where honest reporting is needed.
I try not to be a cynic. But what the Star sports editors did to Sheridan's story was incredibly stupid and wrong. They at least owe their readers an apology. And the person responsible for the deletions deserves a suspension without pay at least as long as that given Jermaine O'Neal.
As far as I am concerned, what the Star did, given their responsibility in the community, was worse than Ron Artest going into the stands in a fit of rage after a drunken fan.

When the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics finalized a trade, Andray Blatche and Kevin Garnett became teammates. The two have a checkered past and an encounter that left Blatche working to hold back tears.
"I can say Kevin, he surprised me. We were playing one game against each other, I believe it was last year, in Brooklyn. I was playing against him and he said, 'Hey man, just keep your head up and keep fighting,'" Blatche said, according to the New York Daily News.
"When he said that, it caught me off-guard, because me and him have our history, and I said, 'All right, I guess we're cool now.'"
There was once a time when Blatche dreamed of hitting the NBA and becoming the next Kevin Garnett—until he was actually there and met Garnett.
In 2010, Blatche, the newly minted go-to player for the Washington Wizards, was charged with the task of facing off against Garnett and the Boston Celtics. Blatche finished the game with 23 points and nine rebounds, but struggled down the stretch.
After the game, according to the Washington Post, Blatche fought back tears as he recounted a physical encounter with Garnett, during which Garnett taunted him and Blatche reacted.
"I see myself as defending myself as a player. I'm a man, just like they a man. If a man is talking to me this close to my face," Blatche said, according to the Post. "I'm going to say something back. He has to respect me just like I respect him. I just, 'Get up out of my face.' He was this close in my face—I can feel his lips touching my cheek—I wasn't bragging saying 'Ah we winning.' It was 'Back up.'"
They had their tiff, but Blatche hopes he can develop a relationship with Garnett and learn from the player he once looked up to.
"There's a lot of things off the court I can learn from Kevin Garnett," Blatche said. "I'm really excited to have the chance to play with him and learn from him from one of the best."

"Renewal at this funding level indicates that the LITC program believes our Tax Clinic had a successful start-up year in 2008 and will continue to thrive," said Michelle Drumbl, assistant clinical professor of law and director of the Tax Clinic.
Students in the Tax Clinic, which began operations in spring 2008, provide free legal representation to low-income taxpayers in resolving their controversies with the Internal Revenue Service. Students also present educational outreach to individuals who speak English as a second language on their rights and responsibilities as U.S. taxpayers.
At least 90% of the clients represented by the clinic are "low-income", meaning their incomes do not exceed 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines published annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. Working with the University's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program and bilingual student volunteers, the Clinic provides assistance as necessary in Spanish.
The Clinic's service area includes much of the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, including the cities of Lexington, Roanoke, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. Visit the Tax Clinic website for a complete listing of areas served and client qualifications.
The IRS Low Income Taxpayer (LITC) grant program is administered by the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, which operates independently of any other IRS office and reports directly to Congress through the National Taxpayer Advocate. Likewise, clinics funded by the grant program remain completely independent of and are not associated with the federal government. The LITC grant program was created as part of the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998.Email This Page
