Dry conditions began in May and then escalated into a drought of historic proportions, making it the states top agriculture story of 2012, Nebraska Farm Bureau said Thursday.
The drought has gripped Nebraska from border-to-border and every farmer and rancher in the state has been impacted in some form or fashion, said NFB president Steve Nelson. It was and is still clearly on the minds of our members as they look at the prospect of continued drought into 2013.
The drought created challenges across the different segments of agriculture, with Nebraskas livestock farmers feeling the tightest squeeze.
Drought conditions decimated grazing lands that sustain cattle herds. Broad areas in central and western Nebraska battled wildfires that destroyed pastures, fences and homes.
The drought also created shortages in forages and field crops that feed livestock, such as corn and soybeans, where statewide total yields were down significantly from 2011 levels.
The shortage in feed supplies for livestock put cattle, pork, poultry and dairy farmers in the position of having to make difficult decisions about their farms and ranches as feed costs escalated due to the drought conditions," Nelson said. "Many farmers had to choose whether to purchase higher priced feeds to try and maintain livestock numbers or to reduce or liquidate livestock numbers altogether.
For those raising field crops, the 2012 drought brought its own issues. Farmers without access to irrigation watched crops wither away, resulting in total losses or significant yield reductions.
Those with access to irrigation were able to raise crops, but paid major increases in energy costs, as the irrigation season was prolonged due to the lack of moisture.
The other Top 5 stories, in no specific order:
2. The U.S. Department of Labor withdrew proposed regulations on children working on farms.
In April, the U.S. Department of Labor pulled a proposed regulation that would have significantly limited and prevented some of the most basic of activities associated with children working on American farms and ranches.
The fact that agriculture interests, particularly here in Nebraska, were able to come together to make their voice heard in Washington was clearly a win for farm and ranch families across the country. It was also a win for anyone who is interested in making sure there is a next generation of farmers and ranchers who have the know-how to raise our food.
3. Nebraskans elect farmers and ranchers to key leadership positions. In November, Nebraska voters elected Cherry County rancher and state legislator Deb Fischer to the U.S. Senate to replace the retiring Ben Nelson.
Nebraska voters also elected two farmers to the University of Nebraskas Board of Regents -- Lavon Heideman, a farmer from Elk Creek, to the District 5 seat and Jim Pillen, a pork producer from Columbus, to the District 3 seat.
Given that farmers and ranchers represent less than two percent of Americas population, but provide the bulk majority of our food, it is extremely important that we have people in leadership that can relate and understand agriculture issues and bring an agricultural and rural perspective to Washington D.C. and to our states land grant institution.
4. The failure of Congress and the President to pass a new-five year Farm Bill.
The fact that Congressional leadership in Washington has not come together to pass a farm bill is extremely disappointing. Passage of a farm bill is critical to restoring disaster programs that will help livestock farmers coping with the drought. A farm bill rooted in a strong crop insurance program that helps farmers deal with managing their risk is equally critical, said Nelson.
5. Uncertainty surrounding federal tax policy affecting farm and ranch families. Numerous tax provisions of interest to agriculture are set to expire at the end of 2012 including estate taxes, capital gains taxes, personal income tax rates, renewable energy tax credits and many other tax deductions that affect farmers.
Everyone has and continues to hear about the fiscal cliff, but failure to come to a resolution on some key tax issues like estate taxes and capital gains taxes has the ability to significantly alter the landscape of agriculture. Particularly for farm and ranch families that are looking to bring family members back to the farm or for older generations looking to transfer their farm to the next generation.

Vehicle Overview When it comes to hauling a larger family around, shoppers who don't want to go the minivan route often turn to midsize SUVs. And in the world of three-row SUVs, the 2017 Ford Explorer is one of the most well-rounded.
The new model year sees the introduction of a package available on XLT model Explorers called the Sport Appearance package. Added features include dark gray accents on the 20-inch wheels, grille, mirror caps and rear bumper appliqu� along with black side moldings, roof rails and an Explorer hood badge. The package gives buyers the look of a Sport model without having to make the jump to the large turbocharged engine and Sport-level hardware. Inside, the package adds two-tone seats and door trim done up in dark gray leather and suede, as well as logo floor mats.�
Additionally, XLT and higher grade models have the option to upgrade to Ford's new Sync 3 infotainment system, which is more intuitive and quicker responding than the previous MyFord Touch system. The touchscreen uses swipe and pinch gestures and enhanced voice recognition with Siri integration. And when updates are available, the system will automatically update over Wi-Fi.
The Explorer spans a wide price range, from the low $30Ks for a base model to nearly $60K for the fully loaded Platinum trim, and its road mannerisms vary about as much as well. Where the base model makes do with less power and drives bigger than it looks, the Sport trim's sharper handling and punchy turbo V6 engine shrink the Explorer from behind the wheel. There's seating for up to seven passengers, which falls behind others in the segment that will carry eight, but it offers an above-average towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Naturally, there are other good options for three-row SUVs to consider. If you're looking to maximize your cargo space and towing capability, the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse is worth checking out. There's also the all-new 2017 GMC Acadia, which is slightly smaller than the previous model but more efficient. Both the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander are excellent options thanks to their big cabins and comfortable rides.
Performance and MPG Standard on the base and XLT trim levels is a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. With this engine, you have your choice of standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. The latter gets hill descent control, hill start assist and Ford's Terrain Management System, which is a driver-selectable system that optimizes traction for a variety of driving situations.
According to the EPA, a front-wheel-drive 2017 Explorer with the V6 will deliver 20 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway). With all-wheel drive, the V6 drops slightly to 19 mpg combined (16 city/23 highway). In Edmunds testing, an AWD Explorer Limited with the base V6 went from zero to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds, which is about average for this size of vehicle.
Optional on base, XLT and now standard on Limited Explorers is the fuel sipper of the group, a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 280 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is optional. Fuel economy rises to 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway) with front-wheel drive and 21 mpg combined (18 city/25 highway) with AWD. Properly equipped, the four-cylinder Explorer can tow 3,000 pounds.
The Explorer Sport and Platinum trims come with a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard. The EPA says to expect 18 mpg combined (16 city/22 highway). Properly equipped, an Explorer with either of the V6 engines can tow 5,000 pounds. In Edmunds testing, the Sport and Platinum models delivered a zero to 60 mph time of 6.3 seconds, which is very quick for this segment.
Safety Standard safety equipment for the 2017 Ford Explorer includes stability and traction control, trailer sway control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, a front-passenger knee airbag and MyKey, which allows parents to specify limits for vehicle speed and stereo volume. The Explorer's stability control system also includes Ford's Curve Control, which can monitor speed carried into a corner and decelerate if necessary.
A rearview camera is standard on the Explorer, while a 180-degree front camera is optional. Rear parking sensors are also standard on all but the base Explorer. Optional on the Limited and Sport but standard on the Platinum is a forward collision warning system with brake priming (bundled with the adaptive cruise control), lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist (Limited only), a blind-spot monitoring system (with rear-cross traffic alert) and inflatable seat belts for second-row outboard passengers. You can now get blind-spot monitoring with rear-cross traffic in the XLT this year as well.
In Edmunds testing, an AWD Explorer Limited with all-season tires came to a stop from 60 mph in 118 feet, a few feet shorter than average. An Explorer Sport with summer performance tires stopped in just 108 feet, a remarkable stopping distance for a vehicle of this size and weight.
In government crash tests, last year's Explorer earned a five-star rating (out of a possible five) for overall crash protection, with five stars for total front-impact protection and five stars for total side-impact protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave its top score of Good for the Explorer's performance in moderate-overlap front-impact, side-impact and roof strength tests. It received the second-lowest rating of Marginal in the small-overlap front-impact test. Its seat belts and head restraints earned a Good rating for whiplash protection in rear impacts.
Additional Information Despite its practicality, a minivan is not every large-ish family's cup of vehicular tea. Some folks prefer a midsize three-row SUV to tote the kids and carry the cargo. Within that genre, the 2017 Ford Explorer stands as a well-rounded choice. Able to seat up to seven, the Explorer comes in a wide range of trim levels and offers a number of powertrains and family-friendly features.
New for this year, Ford's available Sync 3 infotainment system proves more intuitive and responsive than the previous MyFord Touch system. Just like a smartphone or tablet, the Sync 3 touchscreen uses swipe and pinch gestures. It also has enhanced voice recognition with Siri integration. One needn't worry about updating the system, as updates are done automatically via Wi-Fi.
The 2017 Ford Explorer family comprises five trim levels, ranging from the well-equipped base model on up to the plush Platinum. Under the hood, engine choices include a turbocharged four-cylinder and a pair of V6s, with one being turbocharged. Output runs from a respectable 280 horsepower to a muscular 365 horses. Lower trims offer a choice between front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD), while upper trims are AWD-only. EPA fuel mileage estimates range from 18 mpg combined (16 city/22 highway) for the turbo V6 with AWD to 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway) for the turbo-four with FWD.
Even the base 2017 Ford Explorer comes with niceties such as LED headlights and alloy wheels. Highlights of the Sport trim include the turbocharged V6 and a sport-tuned suspension, while the Platinum pampers with a large dual-panel sunroof and a power-adjustable, heated steering wheel. Newly optional for the XLT trim is the Sport Appearance package, which provides much of the Sport trim level's styling pizzazz but at a lower price point because it does without the Sport's high-performance hardware.
A wealth of standard and optional safety features bolsters the 2017 Ford Explorer's r�sum�. Depending on trim level and specification, technologies such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning can help prevent or mitigate accidents.
Although the 2017 Ford Explorer is generally a smooth, quiet and pleasant-to-drive SUV, most versions tend to feel quite large from the driver seat. The Explorer Sport changes that to some extent — its sharper handling, quicker steering and more spirited performance give it a nimbler and more manageable feel on winding roads. On the towing front, the Explorer can handle up to 5,000 pounds, translating to above-average capacity in this regard.
Within the wide-ranging Explorer lineup you're bound to find something suitable. But no matter what your preferences are, Edmunds is ready to help you find the 2017 Ford Explorer that's just right for your needs.

Winning Value Portfolio Remains Ahead
At the beginning of this year, I unveiled what is now dubbed a Winning Value Portfolio for 2012 , which consists of 10 stocks making up an equally-weighted portfolio that I believed would outperform the S&P 500. As of the end of the second quarter, the last time I checked the performance standings, the portfolio was up 13.3% compared with an 8% return for the S&P 500.
Since then, I have waited to provide an update because I wanted the market to experience a pullback in order to see how the portfolio would hold up. After all, a rising market creates a nice tailwind for outperformance but it's against market declines that an investor earns his spurs. To be sure, these numbers only represent an 11-month holding period. While that's a reasonable amount of time to start judging performance numbers, this portfolio was created for a multi-year holding period....284 more words left in this article.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 43-year-old Jacksonville man pleaded guilty Friday morning to five counts of attempted sexual battery and one count of showing obscene materials to a minor.
Wesley Fullard Sr. was sentenced after his guilty plea to 20 years in prison, followed by 120 years of sex offender probation.
In October 2011, an 11-year-old girl told police that Fullard repeatedly sexually abused her for at least four years. While Fullard pleaded to charges of attempted sexual battery, he admitted in open court that he did sexually abuse the child.
"The victim's family agreed this defendant could plead to a lesser charge of 'attempted' sexual battery in order to spare the little girl of facing her abuser at trial and reliving the crimes done to her," said Assistant State Attorney Stacie French.
As part of the sentence, Fullard was deemed a sexual predator.

ANTIOCH — A fire Thursday at a home on Whitetail Drive is being called suspicious after officers found roughly 1,100 marijuana plants inside, a police department spokesman said.
Firefighters responded to the 2300 block around 11:50 a.m. and were quickly able to extinguish a small fire that started in an electrical box, said Antioch Sgt. Anthony Morefield.
No one was inside the home at the time of the fire, but crews found marijuana plants and called police to investigate.
Investigators ultimately took 1,100 plants from the home, along with marijuana cultivation equipment, Morefield added.
Anyone with information regarding the case can call Detective Koch with the Antioch Police Department at 925-779-6895.

Hutchison rides Francisco's blast to win over O's
Righty throws seven scoreless; two-run homer provides early cushion
BALTIMORE -- Drew Hutchison made it through the first inning unscathed. It doesn't seem like that much of a feat, but after the week the Blue Jays just went through, it was something they needed.
For four straight games, Toronto allowed at least one run during the first inning. More often than not, the starters were allowing two. When Hutchison finally kicked that trend on Friday at a sold-out Oriole Park at Camden Yards, it opened the door for the Blue Jays to snap their four-game losing streak.
Brett Lawrie got the second inning going with a one-out walk. Two pitches later, third baseman Juan Francisco dumped an 89-mph fastball into the O's bullpen to give the Blue Jays their first lead since Monday and, ultimately, a 4-0 win against the Orioles.
"The big home run let everybody breathe a little bit, even though it was early in the game," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "We needed that."
The early lead was all Hutchison (5-4) needed to send most of the 44,031 at Camden Yards home disappointed. The 23-year-old tossed seven dominant innings and allowed just six hits. Baltimore couldn't get to him, so it took a 21-minute rain delay after the seventh inning to knock the starting pitcher from the game.
Hutchison has been successful against the O's all season. He's now 2-0 against the Orioles and has never allowed more than two runs in his five career starts against Baltimore. Before O's second baseman Jonathan Schoop homered off him on April 24, Hutchison had shut the Orioles out for 17 consecutive innings.
Schoop threatened to break a Hutchison scoreless streak again in the fourth inning during one of the few frames that the righty had to work out of trouble.
With the bases loaded and two outs, Schoop lifted a fly ball to deep centre field, but it died at the warning track to end the inning.
"I thought I made a lot of really good pitches in that inning, they just happened to place it kind of well," Hutchison said. "I was able to bear down and make a pitch to get out of it."
Hutchison said there's nothing about playing Baltimore that causes him to pitch better. He's simply come in with a good game plan and typically executed it very well against the division rival.
"He's a good pitcher with good stuff," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "He's pretty good against some other people. I can't really put my hand on one thing. I think that's probably it, because it's not just one thing that he does well."
The Blue Jays didn't exactly get the offensive eruption they hoped for to support Hutchison, but they did enough with just four hits. Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (2-8) pitched around trouble and five walks that tied a season high to limit Toronto to just two runs in six innings.
After the rain delay, the Blue Jays added some insurance with the help of an error and a wild pitch.
Outfielder Anthony Gose led off the eighth inning with a walk and eventually came around to score on the wild pitch. Then Jose Bautista got one of Toronto's four hits to drive in Jose Reyes and give the Blue Jays a comfortable four-run cushion.
"We needed that," Gibbons said. "It gave us a little breathing room."
That did it for Hutchison, who left after the delay and 96 pitches, and Baltimore finally got another good chance. Steve Pearce and Adam Jones notched a pair of one-out singles against Brett Cecil before the relief pitcher left with left groin tightness. Dustin McGowan entered for the final five outs, and three strikeouts and six batters later, the pitcher had his first career save.
The arms were finally strong throughout, the bats finally came alive -- sort of -- and Toronto picked up a win to stretch its AL East lead on the O's back to 4 1/2 games, while the Yankees are within four.
"We've been scuffling a little bit as a team lately, especially scoring runs," Gibbons said. "We were able to do that tonight. We were fortunate to add those extra two. In reality, this team needed that."

2014: Scheduled for March 2 at BC Place in Vancouver (CFL stadium): Ottawa vs. Vancouver
— Tom Hoffarth
If the Kings and Ducks can fill a 54,000-seat Dodger Stadium, someone more adept at crunching numbers would have to consider raising the bar and envisioning another outdoor game next season — like at the Coliseum with a potential for 90,000-plus.
Or would that be watering everything down too much?
As more and more NHL teams see the success other markets are having with this outdoor game event, it might seem that a time could come when the specialness gets lost in the concept.
In the months to come, the NHL will gauge how the Dodger Stadium game, followed by two games at Yankee Stadium involving the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils, and another at Soldier Field in Chicago, affect the future of this Stadium Series initiative.
Anaheim Ducks vs. Los Angeles Kings
When: 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25
Where: Dodger Stadium
TV: NBC Sports Net
What: The first of three NHL Stadium Series games, where pro hockey teams play outdoors in baseball stadiums.
Online: More Stadium Series coverage
"The reason we're doing more outdoor games is really what it's now doing locally," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said recently. "This is an incomparable event, and what happens is fans get connected to the game in ways they never imagined. We get new fans who, for the first time, will come and be a part of this.
"This is a fan-oriented, fan-driven event, and that's why we're doing so many games so we can bring it to more fans."
The shelf life of the Stadium Series could be at least several more productive years as long as fans of a city want it, and there is no pushback from the players or TV partners.
"We'll see," NHL chief operations officer John Collins said when asked even about a Kings-Ducks game in Anaheim in 2015. "It's possible, but we have to see first how this one (at Dodger Stadium) goes and how the ice holds up.
"There are any number of markets we can go forward with this. The fact that we are now six years into making this investment, and we learn something new every year, gives everyone more confidence in making this fun and creative going forward."
The NHL expects all six of its outdoor games in the 2013-14 season to be sellouts — starting with the record 105,000-plus who saw that Jan. 1 Detroit-Toronto game at the University of Michigan's Big House endure frequent snow flurries and ending with the Heritage Classic between Ottawa and Vancouver on March 2 at BC Place.
Future sites and games are expected for Washington and Minneapolis. There also are talks of having Penn State's Beaver Stadium host a Pittsburgh-Philadelphia contest. Cities that have had an outdoor game already in one venue could come back around for a different venue if that works.
"Fans love attending this event, and the demand that we're hearing and feeling from our teams and markets and venues wanting to host this game is overwhelming," Bettman said. "I don't think we're overdoing them at all. We're actually responding to the incredible interest and demand we're getting. If you're actually getting an opportunity to attend this game, you don't think we're doing too many of them.
"We're testing ourselves and our hockey operations to make sure we can put on these six games (this season) and then we'll take a deep breath and evaluate what made sense, what we can do better and whether or not we can even do more."

Berkeley officials must get real. City tax rates are excessive and debt is out of control. Yet, they want residents to pay more and burden future generations with additional financial liabilities.
For that reason, we urge voters to reject Measures M and N, bonds for road repairs and pool construction, respectively, and Measure O, for maintenance and operation of the pools.
There's nothing wrong with road repairs or pool construction per se. But at some point, city officials must start living within their budgets. If these are priority projects, city leaders need to decide what they are willing to give up.
Unfortunately, Berkeley leaders don't understand the concept of fiscal discipline. They don't recognize that they're making the city unaffordable for those who live there.
Consider the burden for a homeowner whose property is assessed at a city average $363,589. For starters, there's the baseline property tax of 1 percent of assessed value, or $3,636. The city gets an unusually large portion of that money.
Then add 43 percent for the animal shelter, fire equipment, fire protection, parks, sewer, streetlights, garbage disposal, libraries, paramedics, seismic improvements for public buildings, stormwater handling, and emergency disabled services. That brings the current annual property tax bill to $5,207.
That doesn't include charges for the local school, community college, regional parks and water districts, BART and AC Transit, to say nothing of special county fees.
Very little of that money goes toward paying down the outrageous $570 million city debt created by the underfunding of employee pension and retiree health programs — a debt that works out to about $5,000 for every city resident.
City residents should say "enough." They already rejected the pool plan two years ago, but that didn't stop city leaders from trying again.
Now voters are being asked with Measure N to approve $19.4 million of bonds primarily to replace pools at West Campus and Willard Middle School. The 30-year repayment would start with a tax increase in 2013-14 of $9.55 per $100,000 assessed value, or $35 for the average homeowner.
Then there's the proposed tax for pool operation and maintenance, Measure O. It would be based on the size of each property. For an average 1,900-square-foot home, add another $14.80 a year.
Finally, Measure M would authorize $30 million of bonds for street improvements and "integrated green infrastructure such as rain gardens, swales, bioretention cells and permeable paving." It's unclear why residents should pay extra for street maintenance and repairs, which are generally considered primary city functions.
The bonds would be repaid over 30 years, starting with a tax increase in 2013-14 of $15.88 per $100,000 assessed value, or an average $58.
Thus, the three measures would add $108 annually for the average homeowner. Again, pools and roads might be good places to spend money, but at some point, city leaders need to prioritize spending with funds they already have. The time is now.

Dodgers ponder roster for Australia trip
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Six days remain until the Dodgers travel down under to begin the 2014 season against the D-backs in Australia, and there's a lot left for the club to figure out.
Like who's going.
Manager Don Mattingly said the team is still deciding how to use its roster exemptions, noting that how the Dodgers set their roster on March 21 also needs to reflect what's best for the club come March 30, when the L.A. opens its U.S. slate in San Diego.
The Dodgers and D-backs need to make roster decisions two weeks before the other 28 teams because of the Opening Series. Both clubs can take up to 30 players to Australia from which to draw their 25-man Opening Day rosters.
Of those 30, three will be designated as "exempt" before Opening Day and would otherwise be active, be they starting pitchers left behind, players out of options or Rule 5 Draft selections. Corresponding moves would need to be made to make room for their activation. Two other players on the trip will be "extras." They can be players on the 40-man roster with options, or Minor Leaguers.
Clubs use the additional five spots to be covered in the event of an injury, whether it occurs as a result of the exhibition game against Team Australia or the regular-season opener, because it will be impossible to call up a player and transport him to Australia in time for the next game.
The first game of the Opening Series is at 1 a.m. PT on Saturday, March 22, and the finale starts at 7 p.m. PT the same day (Sunday morning in Sydney).
Needless to say, general manager Ned Colletti and the rest of the front office have a lot to ponder.
"Ned and his guys have spent a lot of time on it and we kind of go back and forth," Mattingly said. "We're just trying to figure out the combination of guys we need, really trying to put together our roster for the season, and then how that works for those two games, and then trying to figure it out for starting in San Diego at the same time."
The Dodgers also are drawing up a plan for the starting pitchers who don't travel to Australia. Mattingly said those who stay will throw live sessions and try to stay on their regular schedules.
"That would be the plan: to keep them as steady as possible," Mattingly said.

Hunters Urged To Beat The Rush, Buy Licenses Early
AUSTIN, Texas — New hunting and fishing licenses for 2007-08 will be available beginning Wednesday, Aug. 15, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is encouraging hunters to buy early and avoid the rush heading into the Sept. 1 dove season opener.
"If you wait until the Friday before the dove season opener, you're probably going to be standing in line to buy a license," said Tom Newton with TPWD's licensing section. "Last year, we sold nearly 350,000 licenses during the four-day period around the opening weekend of dove season. It takes an average of five minutes to process a license sale transaction, so it's likely there will be delays if you wait 'til the last minute."
Newton said a little planning could save hunters a lot of time in the checkout line. "It's like planning your morning commute; you can sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic or you can leave early and breeze through. We average less than 20,000 license transactions a day during the two weeks prior to the dove season opener and five or six times that number on the days around opening weekend."
Sportsmen are reminded all current annual hunting and fishing licenses (except for the year-to-date fishing license) expire Aug. 31.
Texas issues 3.2 million hunting and fishing licenses annually through 28 TPWD field offices, more than 100 state parks and at over 1,400 retailers across Texas.
A last-minute license purchase rush is probably inevitable in some areas of the state, TPWD officials say, particularly along the I-35 corridor where many dove hunters descend. Fortunately, there are other license buying avenues available.
"Hunters who need to purchase a license at the last minute or those who don't want to stand in line have a couple of options," said Newton. "They can also purchase licenses online through the TPWD web site (http://tpwd.texas.gov/) or by calling (800) 895-4248. There is a $5 convenience fee for either option and a major credit card is required."
License sales call center hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday — Friday. The online transaction system is available 24/7.
"We sold about 13,000 licenses online and by phone during the peak sales weekend last year," Newton said. "We'd like to steer more of the traffic to the call center and Internet during the peak volume periods."
A license confirmation number is issued at the time of purchase for online and phone orders, and the physical license is mailed separately. Confirmation numbers will verify that a license has been purchased, which is sufficient for dove hunting, but will not allow hunters to take fish or wildlife that requires a tag.
"Some people are using the convenience options to purchase licenses for everyone in their family or hunting group," Newton said. "It can help ensure that everybody who shows up to hunt, especially those coming in from out of state or kids coming in from college, already have a hunting license waiting for them. You can buy a license for someone else, even at the retail counter, but to avoid delays please be sure you have all their personal information."
In addition to a hunting license, all wing shooters will need to purchase a game bird stamp. To hunt doves or teal in September, a Migratory Game Bird Stamp ($7) is required. Duck hunters also need to purchase a Federal Duck Stamp and receive HIP (Harvest Information Program) certification. HIP certification will be printed on the license at the time of sale only after the purchaser answers a few brief migratory bird questions. Lifetime license holders must also be HIP-certified and purchase the Federal Duck Stamp to hunt migratory birds. All other state stamp endorsements are included with a lifetime license
"Remember, it's your responsibility to make sure you are properly licensed, so be sure to check your license before you leave the sales counter," Newton said. "We do get a fair number of requests for re-issuance of licenses because the hunter forgot to get HIP certified."
There are other mandatory endorsements to consider at the time of purchase, too. An Upland Game Bird Stamp ($7) is required to hunt all non-migratory game birds, including turkey, quail, pheasant, chachalaca and lesser prairie chicken.
Of course, anyone who purchases the Super Combo license package, the best bang for the buck, automatically gets these needed stamps.
Hunter Education Certification is also required of any hunter born on or after Sept. 2, 1971 and who is at least 17 years old. For hunters who are unable to work in a hunter education class before hunting season for whatever reason, TPWD does offer a deferral option.
The deferral option allows people 17 years of age or older a one-time only extension to complete the state's hunter education requirements. The individual must first purchase a hunting license and then may purchase the deferral option.
Hunters using the deferral must be accompanied by someone 17 years old or older who is also licensed to hunt in Texas. The accompanying individual must have completed hunter education or be exempt from the requirements (born before Sept. 2, 1971). The extension is good for one license year, by which time the person with the deferred option needs to complete a hunter education course.
This option is not available to those who have ever received a conviction or deferred adjudication for lack of hunter education certification. They still must take the course before going afield.
There are a few changes in license requirements this year that license buyers should be aware of; probably the most significant change involves streamlining what had become a complex and somewhat confusing set of temporary fishing licenses created originally to provide additional licensing options for a variety of situations. Variations of the resident and non-resident temporary fishing options known as "Day-Plus Fishing Packages" have been consolidated into "One-Day Fishing Licenses" at a cost of $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents.
Anglers may purchase as many one-day licenses as they wish. No additional freshwater or saltwater stamp endorsements are required with the one- day licenses and one Bonus Red Drum Tag will be available for free with the purchase of the first one-day license.
There are now a "Senior Resident Hunting License" and a "Youth Hunting License," replacing what had been the Special Resident Hunting License. The fee remains at $6 for these licenses. Both resident and non-resident youth under 17 qualify for the new Youth Hunting License.
Along those same lines, senior anglers have several options under the "Senior Resident Fishing License Packages," which allows resident senior citizens to fish in freshwater for $11, saltwater for $16 or any Texas public waters for $21. The "Special Resident Fishing License" will be available only to individuals who are legally blind and will cost $6. Freshwater stamp and saltwater stamp requirements are waived.

Mike Magee was so excited, and so thankful to teammate Robbie Keane, he tried to emulate Keane's goal-scoring celebration.
"Terrible," Keane said with a twinkle in his eye. "He obviously saw the real one after."
Yes, Keane got a chance to show off his cartwheel-somersault, but not before Magee scored three times as the Galaxy opened the 2013 MLS season with a 4-0 victory over Chicago on Sunday at Home Depot Center.
Even without Landon Donovan, who is taking a break from the game until the end of the month, and David Beckham (gone for good), the Galaxy wore down a club that finished with a better record last season.
Magee slid into Donovan's role alongside Keane, and once they got through the initial parts of the of the game, Keane kept attacking and Magee kept on scoring.
"I don't think his first 30 minutes were as good as I'd like to see," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "I don't want to get on the wrong side of Magee because he can get me fired, I guess, at this point."
It was the first career hat trick for Magee, who is beginning his 11th season. But it came as no surprise to any of his teammates, who have watched him nonchalantly blast goal after goal in practice. And Magee has built a reputation with his clutch postseason goals in recent years for the Galaxy.
"It was three exceptional goals, all left-footed," Keane said. "Two of them were magnificent goals."
And the first one?
"The minute I saw it, I knew it was going to go in," Keane said. "I see it in training all the time. He calmly puts it in the corner. It was one of those things, you hit everything and you hit the back of the net. He had one of those days today."
It was a far more encouraging start for the Galaxy, who a year ago picked up their MLS Cup championship rings and then proceeded to play their way into last place well into May.
They had a few new dimensions to unveil other than Magee, and things clicked as well as they could for an opener.
Sean Franklin and newly acquired Colin Clark played on the flanks at midfield, with Marcel Sarvas and Juninho holding down the fort in the middle. Central defender Leonardo made his first MLS appearance since April 17, 2011, when he tore knee ligaments in a game against Chicago.
Carlo Cudicini, acquired as a free transfer from Tottenham, picked up a shutout in his MLS debut at goalkeeper. Although he nearly blundered his way to giving away a goal in the first half, he also made a big save when he punched away a free kick by Chicago's Maicon Santos. It was the only save he needed to make as the Galaxy made a statement to themselves.
"It is a mentality," said defender Todd Dunivant, who assisted on Magee's first goal. "In preseason, we were here the whole time in L.A. It was more of a focus on the start. We kind of put last year behind us, we've got the White House coming up, but we've been through that. The championship hangover is hopefully something of the past and we're learning from last year."
Magee struck for the first time in the 38th minute. Keane charged into the box and had a pass deflected, but Dunivant collected it and crossed it to Magee, who volleyed a left-footer past Sean Johnson.
In the 68th minute, Magee sent a pass to a charging A.J. DeLaGarza, who got it to Keane. Magee took Keane's pass, settled it with his right foot and whistled another left-footer into the upper left corner.
Six minutes later, Keane's shot caromed off Johnson. Magee got the rebound, turned and hit another left-footer that couldn't be stopped.
"My left foot wasn't missing today," Magee said. "Robbie, he's a different class. All three of my goals started somehow, somewhere with him. Not that Robbie needs any more goals, but I was happy to see him get one."
That came in the 80th minute, a long crossing pass from Michael Stephens was redirected by Omar Gonzalez to Keane, who buried it.
"It was a good start to the season," Keane said. "Exactly what we wanted, so we can kick on from there."

Oglala Sioux Tribe President Bryan Brewer's plans to meet with Wounded Knee owner James Czywczynski have been cancelled after Brewer met with a representative from the Bush Foundation and the Trust for Public Land. Brewer told ICTMN that, "There was nothing to talk about."
The meeting that was to have taken place today was a possible attempt to avert the public sale of the site of Wounded Knee by Czywczynski. After initial attempts to sell the 40-acre parcel of land to the tribe for $4.9 million, Czywczynski now says he will accept sealed bids on the property until his imposed October 15 deadline.
If bids are not acceptable to him, he'll put the site up for sale at a public auction as early as November.
An October 3 article by Native Sun News' Brandon Ecoffey said, "The immediacy of this deadline has caused one heavy hitter in the business of historical site preservation to step forward."
That heavy hitter is Nelson Mathews. According to Brewer, Mathews is a representative from the Trust for Public Land who was brought in by the Bush Foundation to negotiate. In addition to meeting with Brewer, Mathews met with Czywczynski on September 26 at Minerva's Restaurant in Rapid City before he met with the tribe.
According to the TPL website, the organization is a nonprofit that "conserves land for people to enjoy such as parks, gardens, historic sites, rural lands, and other natural places." According to Ecoffey's article, TPL has raised $34 billion for conservation efforts and that for every dollar that was invested into the program it has yielded more than $2,000 in new public lands.
In an interview with ICTMN, Czywczynski spoke about his meeting with Mathews.
"We had a very nice meeting and he [Mathews] indicated that he will work very hard to acquire this property for and on behalf of the Oglala Sioux Tribe," Czywczynski said. "They buy Indian sites and massacre sites and all kinds of things to keep them in the public trust."
Though he claims the meeting went well, Czywczynski criticized the Trust for Public Land for wanting to assess the site of Wounded Knee for its value.
"TPL wants to do an appraisal and a survey. There is nobody that can properly appraise this site. You can appraise a car, a house, a road or a factory," Czywczynski said. "You can appraise anything, but find me someone that can appraise a national historic site worth 300 Indian men, women and children [who] were killed and I would like to talk to him. How would you appraise the Washington Monument or the Statue of Liberty?"
Czywczynski says the bid process has been slow but he has heard from a few potential buyers including the Century 21 office in Hot Springs, South Dakota who said they represented a donor from the West Coast who flew an attorney out to meet with Czywczynski.
"The attorney came to Rapid City and asked for a first right of refusal, which we gave him. They indicated they were going to make an offer, but they didn't make one," Czywczynski said. "They are just sitting back now because they have the first right of refusal. If somebody else steps up to the plate and it is a home run and they are satisfied that this owner will turn it over to the tribe, they will say go ahead and do it. If they don't like it, they will say no deal and they will buy it.
"If somebody wants to buy this and put condominiums there for X amount of dollars, the company can say no, and match the price. They will buy it and turn it over to the Oglala Sioux Tribe. That's what they want to do. We have people in place who will donate to make up the difference," said Czywczynski.
In the meantime Czywczynski is sticking to the October 15 deadline.
Brewer says the tribe is seriously looking into eminent domain to obtain the land. They have submitted a proposal to the Native American Rights Foundation (NARF) in Boulder, Colorado to start the process.
"They have a litigation committee that will be meeting next week," he said. "We will be taking our proposal to them to see if they will be interested in taking it on."
Overall, Brewer seems undeterred by the process.
"How many deadlines has he had so far? There is no sense in even talking with him."
According to Tim Ahern, TPL's director of media relations, "we've done a lot of working with tribes across the country to preserve lands important to them. We don't have a formal role here yet, but like everyone else, we've read all the media around this parcel of land, and we're trying to see if we can be helpful in finding a solution which works for everybody involved."

If you happen to be in the consumer product business, especially children's products, your world was rocked a few years ago when Mommy Bloggers—at first with almost no following—mounted a massive social media campaign accusing Procter & Gamble Pampers of causing serious chemical burns to children. It was a trenchant example of how the Internet has redefined risk—both current and future—for this industry.
If you happen to be in the energy business, an even louder thunderclap sounded when Colorado activists used their digital wherewithal to pass moratoria or outright bans on fracking. They used Twitter to promote anti-fracking documentaries, Facebook to target their messages, and YouTube to disseminate compelling visuals, not to mention search engine optimization (SEO) to control the story. Again, risk was redefined such that effective "enterprise risk management" (ERM) can no longer rely on traditional public affairs strategies to win the day in the Court of Public Opinion.
You can't even sell melons without redefining risk. When a salmonella outbreak was traced to a cantaloupe farm, plaintiffs' lawyers immediately bought up all the key search firms to dominate the litigation-related narrative.
These cases underscore the sea change transforming ERM. And, with this transformation, the role of GCs is likewise forever altered in terms of the responsibilities they incur and the skill sets they require.
At its root, the sea change is all about the reorientation of risk management from past/present to present/future. Hitherto, analysts labored to understand current exposures by probing the past for roadmaps and historical examples of organizations' practices that worked well or that did not. Now ERM entails a bold new purpose—precognition. In past years, what "historian" could have warned of the mega-risk called data exposure or articulated best practices to handle systemic compromises threatening business' very survival? By contrast, a "weatherman" could have read the tea leaves, looked at evolving technology trends and sounded warning shots about the need to prepare.
As the decisive agent of this change, the Internet both creates a universe of impending risks and the means by which to address them before they become real-time exigencies. If ERM is now all about precognition, the Internet is the crystal ball with which the soothsayers do their job.
The GC must be one of those soothsayers, key participants in the ERM agenda, simply because nearly all future risk will likely fall within the office of the general counsel's purview. If GCs are to continue emerging as indispensable C-suite and boardroom advisors, the ability to read the Internet now defines their job description. Similarly, if they are to continue to evolve as business leaders rather than just legal scriveners, they must transform themselves from lawyers who, like most lawyers, are preoccupied with precedent and the past, to risk experts asking and answering the key question: What's next?
We've clearly gone someplace beyond the law, and GCs must go there too. They must collaborate with ERM to cover all issues that could lead to problems, assessing trends and applying what they learn in the same way the brand team applies digital intelligence to sales.
This impact of the Internet should also have fortuitous ancillary consequences for the organization itself. After all, in a world where every facet of corporate operations is grist for the digital mill, silos are no longer practicable. Investor relations, for one, is all about online crystal balling: What is being said on the activist networks? Are regulators looking at new areas of enforcement? Who's controlling the risk terms in the search engine? What are the "high-authority" bloggers saying?
As the digital crystal ball discloses stress lines across the whole spectrum of corporate operations, it's the seamless corporate cultures that will best weather the inevitable storms ahead, "managing" risk in the fullest sense of the word.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) was the winner among the largest U.S. banks on Wednesday, with shares rising 3.5% to close at $49.28. The broad indices all saw gains of over 1% after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continued to defend the central bank's "highly accommodative" monetary stimulus policy, this time before the House Financial Services Committee. The Fed has kept the short-term federal funds rate in a target range of between zero and 0.25% since late 2008, and has been expanding its balance sheet through the monthly purchase of $85 billion in long-term securities. The purchases are meant to keep long-term rates at record low levels. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) said at the start of the hearing that "after quadrupling its balance sheet and engaging in unprecedented mortgage-backed security asset purchases and creating an extended negative real interest rate environment, there is a growing consensus among economists that the Federal Reserve's road has led us to the monetary 'outer limits'." "For diminishing marginal benefits the Federal Reserve's unconventional strategy creates considerable risks," Hensarling said. "If the balance sheet is not unwound at the right time and at the right pace, we could be looking at another deep recession, soaring inflation or skyrocketing interested rates." Bernanke repeated his testimony from Tuesday's Senate Banking Committee hearing, saying that Fed policy "is providing important support to the recovery while keeping inflation close to the
Federal Open Market Committee's 2 percent objective." "Notably, keeping longer-term interest rates low has helped spark recovery in the housing market and led to increased sales and production of automobiles and other durable goods," he said, adding that "by raising employment and household wealth--for example, through higher home prices--these developments have in turn supported consumer sentiment and spending." Also on Wednesday, the National Association of Realtors said that pending home sales rose in January, and had risen on a year-over-year basis for 21 consecutive months. The NAR's pending home sales index rose to 105.9 in January from a revised 101.3 in December, and from 96.7 in January 2007. NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said in the group's press release that "favorable affordability conditions and job growth have unleashed a pent-up demand. Most areas are drawing down housing inventory, which has shifted the supply/demand balance to sellers in much of the country."

Here's my fave new way to create a perfect, subtle cat eye (I did it in the pic above!):
First, pick up a creamy eye liner pencil (I'm really into the FACE Stockholm Art Eye Pencil) and draw a line from the inner corner of your eye just past the outer corner. Don't do anything fancy. Just make the line about as thick as a piece of angel hair pasta.
Then, use a clean, angled eye liner brush (like the Sephora Collection Classic Angled Eyeliner Brush #15) to very gently smudge the liner from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Once you hit the outer edge of eye, ange the brush toward your temple and brush just past the end of your eyeliner line. Repeat until you have the cat eye shape you want.
Set the look by tracing over the eye pencil with a liquid liner pen (a great option: Top Shop Felt Pen Liner). That way, you'll get the crisp look of liquid liner without the potential for an epic mess.
Do you have any liner-perfecting secrets?

Detailed Description:
Neurofibromatosis 1(NF1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of one birth out of 3000. NF1 gene is located in 17q11.2. The penetrance is near 100% by the age of 8 and the de novo mutations represent half the cases. The product of NF1 gene is neurofibromin, a protein controlling cellular differentiation and proliferation. Phenotypic expression is variable even in the same family. Neurofibromatosis 1 is characterized by café au lait spots, freckling of the folds, Lisch'nodules (hamartomas of iris) and multiple neurofibromas. Manifestations of neurofibromatosis 1 are pleiotropic, potentially severe and unpredictable. Morbidity and mortality associated to neurofibromatosis 1 are linked with complications, optic pathway gliomas, neurofibromas of the spine or of peripheral nerves, learning disabilities, scoliosis and bone abnormalities and vasculopathy. The investigators already demonstrated the existence of modifiers, genes modifying the phenotypic expression of neurofibromatosis 1 (Hum Mol Genet. 2009;18(15):2768-78). Indeed, a quantitative analysis of inter and intrafamilial variability performed with the data of the investigators phenotype/genotype database showed a strong genetic component for most studied clinical traits with an estimated heritability from 44 and 45% for subcutaneous and plexiform neurofibromas, to 66% for small café au lait spots. The investigators also showed that the NF1 gene had minor effect in the phenotypic variability. The investigators results suggested the implication of genes non linked to NF1 gene. The identification of these variants called modifiers of the phenotype is possible thanks to the investigators vast collection of patients and its statistical power. The aim of the present study is to identify in the human genome genetic variants in the evolving pattern of the most frequent manifestation of neurofibromatosis 1, neurofibromas. The genetic association studies are the most adapted in that purpose. The investigators bank includes at the present time 1099 patients of 575 families with genotypes, phenotypes and DNA samples.
The investigators will include 450 index cases more to have around 1000 independent patients with neurofibromatosis 1 to get a 90% statistical power to detect variants of 30% frequency in the general population and having an effect of odds ratio of 2 for studied trait. The investigators will use Affymetrix® Genechips 6.0 covering well the whole genome.
Identification of the variants will provide new comprehension of pathophysiology and new targets for treatment.

Pregnant Jessica Simpson on The Tonight Show
Jessica Simpson Tells Leno Her Fiancé's "Knocking Me Up" Delays Their Wedding
Jessica Simpson wore a low-cut dress for an appearance on The Tonight Show yesterday. Fresh off an extended holiday vacation to Hawaii with her fiancé, Eric Johnson, their daughter, Maxwell, and a rotating cast of friends and family, Jess was ready to chat about her second pregnancy and her various work projects. One of those projects was announced yesterday morning — a Jessica Simpson scripted comedy is in the works at host Jay Leno's network, NBC.
Jessica was her usual funny candid self while talking with Jay about her expanding family. She said that she and Eric, who've been engaged for two years, "had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up! We're doing it very backwards. I'll just keep my legs crossed this time." As for their having two kids within two years, apparently it wasn't planned. Jessica admitted, "I was extremely shocked because I was going through a lot of hormonal changes, trying to get back to the old, vibrant Jessica. You know, it was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened all over again!"

Harajuku Lovers G Eau de Toilette Spray Reviews
Harajuku Lovers GI purchase these for my 15 yer old daughter and she loves them. This scent is tropical and light and perfect for teenagers and/or 20 somethings.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
While "a show by any other name is not the same," may be true, no matter whether you know it as the Extreme Autofest or Lowriderfest, the event always brings out some killer rides and this year's show was no different. The Lowriderfest came to Angels Stadium parking lot in Anaheim, CA., on June 10th 2012, and like it always does, the event combined multiple automotive lifestyles into one location. This fusion gives the show a great diversity that all automotive customizers can appreciate. When we first walked in, we saw Lowriders to our left, Dubs to our right, and Imports in front. The show drew about 500 entries, with some of those entries including heavy hitters like this year's Lowrider of the year, "El Rey," from Elite car club. Some of the car clubs on hand included Klique, Impalas, Nokturnal, Swift, Xplicit, Elite, Techniques, and a few others.
Show highlights included the Multiple Car Hop, where several participants hopped their rides at the same time, and some of the high-powered imports performed a drift demo for the crowd as well, with the most experienced drivers behind the wheels drifting sideways in a chaotic display of controlled driving. With an impressive Model Showcase, the show had plenty of eye candy walking around. Some of the models included our own Ela Passion and future Lowrider Magazine model, Alexis Ramirez. At the conclusion of the highly awaited bikini contest, our future cover model, Raquel Estrella, took first place. All in all, this show proved yet again why it is on the "must-attend" list of yearly automotive events.
