Texas Game Wardens Host National Officer Water Survival "Train the Trainers" Course
AUSTIN —Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game wardens are hosting a nationwide Train the Trainer Officer Water Survival (OWS) course for water safety enforcement officer trainers. Officers from Texas, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Alaska, New Mexico and Arizona will be attending the course taking place July 21-25 at the School for the Deaf pool facility.
This training is part of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) Boat Operations and Training (BOAT) Program catalog of nationally credentialed courses.
"Texas game wardens like many of their counterparts from across the nation are the primary law enforcement officers on the state's waters, an environment which brings its own hazards," said Asst. Commander Cody Jones, Texas' Boating Law Administrator. "In the course of their duty, game wardens wear gear including their duty belt and ballistics vest that add an additional 18 to 20 pounds of weight to them. It's important that if they enter the water whether expectedly or unexpectedly they know their capabilities and how to survive."
"Six Texas Game Wardens have drowned in the line of duty and that's something we think about every day," said Colonel Craig Hunter, TPWD Director of Law Enforcement. "Game wardens are routinely on the water in very demanding situations and this training will save lives."
Eighteen officers from across the nation will be going through this five-day course, which includes skills in surviving a water entry in uniform, disengaging from an assailant while in the water, water extraction techniques, and other lifesaving water skills.
On Tuesday, July 22 from 1-5 p.m., news media is invited to attend the training, interview participants, and enter the water wearing game warden duty gear and see first-hand the issues faced by law enforcement officers. The Texas Game Warden Dive Team will be on hand to provide safety oversight and also to provide an underwater perspective of the training.
For more information and to coordinate participation in the media event contact Cody Jones.

For example you have a client who has $1000 for the whole website. Meaning, no budget for creating sliders, banners, correcting images by graphic designer. And it has to be decent. And responsive and work for 3 languages.How do you develop it for client? Do you present it firstly in Photoshop page by page? Or you draw? Or you write on paper? How to make it mostly timely and costly effective?
Your opinion is highly appreciated!
Tough question!
First, I would need to know what kind of site the client wants. Most sites only need a few templates: home page, blog, product page, search result page...
With that low budget, you're going to use a CMS and maybe a theme from themeforest.com or similar, and adapt it a bit for your customer (you will not kill yourself for it, the money is not really that much and if you have experienced you can do a hell of a job without sweating too much. Unless you're in the processing of learning which, of course)
Hi, firstly a good way to design is to present the website design as PDF format and once they have agreed the design starting coding the website fully.
This will save you alot of time!
I have a set of 10-15 templates that I show as an initial design brief. Save a lot of money in customizing for every client. And I build it on wordpress: eases out making as well as managing the website.
In which case the extra time ought to be written off to education as what you learn will be reused for every subsequent similar job.
So you are showing a real dummy-website to the client and then you use the template to elaborate the site for the client, right? How many designs you propose as initial design brief: 2-3 or 10?
If someone wants a new Rolls Royce but only has $1000 to spend, what do you say to them? Get an old, second hand car, work hard, earn money.
Don't bend over backwards for people on a low budget. My first comment to someone in this situation is that I will decide the design and there will be no arguments, as it's not worth your while to mess around with pleasing them—getting their opinion on layouts etc.— on such a low budget. It doesn't matter how little people are paying you, they will always be fussy with design if you give them the chance, so you have to cut them off at the knees with a reality check from the beginning.
Only last week I did such a site and enjoyed the freedom of doing a design I liked without it being ruined by the client.
If you take the job, you must do it regardless of the budget. It`s your portfolio afterall. Go for a CMS, chose a theme, customize it a bit, then send a screenshot. If they like, go with that. Simple
We can ask to clinet about what they want.
The problem with asking small budget clients what they want is that what they want will cost many times what they have budgetted for. The starting point needs to be to tell them just how much they can get for their budget. They can then choose between having you do theat amount of work, deciding to pay more to get the extras they need, or looking for someone else prepared to do the work cheaper and running the risk that the person they get to do the work really cheaply will have no idea of what they are doing.
How many alternative designs you can offer a low budget client depends on how many templates you have in your portfolio to use with low budget clients. The simplest solution is to offer them a choice between any of your low budget templates with their branding substituted into it. That gives them a choice as to which of your other existing low budget clients they want their site to look like.
You have to decide for yourself if you want the job or not. Either you respectfully decline or give your price for the work. Client may not know that you are Michael Angelo of web design. He/She can try to find someone else who is happy to do the work or come back to you with increased budget. What you cannot do is to take the job and not do your best.
Make sure you have 100% clear contract explaining responsibilities. Give customer 3 options from templates you can tweak in wordpress. Make sure customer understands their job is to populate with content but yours is the structure and look and feel. Do customer's chosen option and iterate a few times until customer delighted. Then give customer it all. If customer wants you to do more after this make sure that is covered in the contract you signed as independently billable for $XYZ per hour or part of. Done.
Non refundable Deposit up FRONT and let them know they get what they pay for. Time is money and it takes time to design, tweak and perfect a site. I dont work for free, neither should you.
The going rate for web design from a firm in my area is $60 an hour just for a consultation. With a 3 page basic ugly site costing upwards of 2k.
I start my basic services (Web banners, Ads, Flyers, Data Entry ) at $20 an hour. Once I get into custom writing HTML/CSS/Research/SEO I double my hourly rate to $40 an hour.
I usually used CMS for the customer who have small budget, however I modified the themes based-on their requirement and I think it will save our time
Always try to fix the cost after knowing the requirement of the user. Because based on the expectation budget increases. You can use CMS templates. It will definitely reduce the some design works.
If you are a starter then try to convince your client on some reasonable price and offer him a free template based website with little modifications. Secondly, if you will go for design and development part separately then it will be much costly for you.

"Memories" Art Print
Many people loved Ronald Ragland's "Memories" art print that was featured in Carolina Country, so he presents it again. It depicts his father, Hugh Ragland (right), priming tobacco with associate, Albert Downey, and his mule, George, while others in the background hand and tie tobacco for the curing barn. The scene is along Durham Road in Granville County where Ronald grew up. Look for the tobacco worm in the picture. Signed and numbered prints of "Memories," measuring 16-by-20 inches, are available in full color on museum-quality paper, for $60 (includes shipping).

Jackson unlikely to come off DL when eligible
DETROIT -- Austin Jackson is back at Comerica Park with the Tigers beginning a homestand Thursday. It's looking less and less likely, though, that he'll be ready to return to action before the Tigers hit the road again next week.
What was originally hoped to be a minimal stint on the disabled list for Jackson and his pulled left hamstring now shows no signs of an impending end. Though manager Jim Leyland came away from a Thursday morning conversation with Jackson encouraged, Leyland said, "It didn't sound like he's home free just yet, so I can't give you any prediction."
Jackson is eligible to come off the disabled list on Monday.
"He really has not done any physical activities," Leyland said. "So he's obviously going to have to do some of that before he gets back in there. But I want it right. I don't want him to come back at 85 percent and do it again."
Jackson has been receiving treatment for the past couple days, Leyland said, something he wasn't able to do earlier.

First place! Woo!!!
Where are all the people jumping off the cliff 3 weeks ago? The same ones who said us "sunshiners" were crazy for believing this team would come around?

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Seems like this team is finding its identity. I thought we were forcing it a little too much to Hibbert and George early on in the season. Now, we're going almost exclusively to our best players (West and Hill), with Hibbert and George going back to their more natural support roles. Bench is also starting to gel a bit. The team has looked a lot better as a result.
And btw, IMO trying to force feed Hibbert and George wasn't a wrong move, it just didn't work out maybe because those guys just weren't ready yet. Kudos to Frank for having the balls to give the younger guys a featured role, and also for recognizing that it isn't working and making appropriate changes.
You know the amount of shots each player is taking really hasn't changed all that much. I don't think it is so much that we went from forcing it onto them to not, as much as our offense is flowing better so the looks they are getting are more within an offensive flow whereas earlier they won't. The improved flow has little to do with changing focus on different players, and more just better player and ball movement.
I'm gonna be the fly in the soup......I think that we are getting there....but won't have an "identity" until everyone outside of GH and West become more consistent. The "identity" that I see is "inconsistency" among the overall Team where GH and DW are carrying the Team and then the rest of the Team inconsistently contributing to leads but at the same time coughing up those very leads as the Starters rest.
I expect inconsistency from the 2nd unit at this point due to lack of chemistry among the newer Players....but PG going 2-11 and Hibbert going 3-9 isn't going to cut it. I don't even want to talk about the 2 airballs ( my God....AIRBALLS ) from Hibbert ( a shot that he was able to at least hit the rim with ).
Sure, they do great every other game....and PG made up for it on the rebounding and assist end.....but Starters have to be able to contribute on the offensive end on a regular basis.
To be clear...I am not saying that this Team "isn't getting it" and that I am not pleased with their performance....I'm saying that we need more consistency from everyone so that we don't see these huge leads evaporate when DW and Hill rest. We are getting there...but we aren't there yet.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
You know it's really too bad we couldn't pay Nene 56 million dollars to be here. Had to settle for David West. Too bad really.
Two thoughts:
1) I've been telling you guys we were going to work it out... And we're working it out!
2) Sleep Train Arena is just a HORRIFIC name for a sports venue. I mean, seriously!
My 'out of state fan' game reports over the years
Pacers.com Guest Blog Post: Area 55 Conquers Staples Center -- (Honorary) Area 55 Family Invades Target Center 2014! -- Target Center Invasion 2015
Yes, he's totally a BAMFL...the L is for loser.
God do I love to watch his old school offense, a thing of beauty. He must be kept next year, they would be fools to let him go. He brings that combo of talent and guts to face the challenge. I really hope the retired view of West is of him as a Pacer, not a Hornet.
The team is playing better than they were but they are far from "coming around". We are beating mediocre teams albeit on the road but it's some very ugly basketball at times. Lets see them do it against some of the elite teams. Like somebody else already said take away D. West's super performances lately and we would be in a world of hurt. Not trying to be a downer here but some people need to come back to reality as well. I am cautiously optimistic the team will continue to improve but they have a ways to go.
The Pacers now have two mature leaders - West and Hill. That bodes very well and should continue to strengthen the team when tougher games come later in the season schedule. Now, whenever Granger returns, he doesn't necessarily need to worry about being a one man team without anyone else capable of carrying the load, especially mentally.
I am not so sure that was a good thing either. If I remember correctly Bird wanted BOTH West and Nene.
I think Bird was wanting to let Hibbert walk. Who knows how that would have worked?
1) For God, Don, Don, Vogel, tell PG & Lance to step in or dribble into a 17 footer when they're wide open (since they are both cold as ice from downtown).
2) When (hopefully not if) Granger returns, I still want us playing through West and Hill first.
3) I love Roy and I'm not questioning him playing hard or anything, but damn we payed way too much for him.
4) At this point (dream time here so don't take seriously), I'd give Sactown Roy, Paul, and Tyler for Cousins.
5) Still disappointed with the new big three offseason acquisitions. Mahinmi overall has been best so far, and I agree he has helped the interior D on the bench unit. I just wish he could be more consistent someplace else - scoring, rebounding. Maybe it will come.
Agustin at least seems to have turned up his intensity level. Looks a bit less like a zombie out there, but unless he goes on a prolonged hot streak shooting the three there's almost no chance he ever overcomes all his negatives. Green? Sorry to this supporters, but don't even talk to me about him. Almost zero contribution unless his three is falling. Hmm... so I guess that makes he and DJ about the same profile.
6) Best pickup of the offseason by far has been Young. If all he does on O is hit a corner 3 here and there, I'll take it for what we get in hustle, defense, and physicality.
7) PG was good in the non-scoring areas so I give him credit there. But will the guy even be able to average say 12 -14 ppg?
8) Wish Lance were more involved in the offense than just a spot up 3 guy. Don't care how hard he's worked on it, it's still not his bread and butter.
9) I think Bruno is not comparing DWest and DD in terms of their skill sets at all. He's talking the toughness and attitude they infuse in the rest of the players - a form of leadership by example. Both are/were, IMO, primary catalysts for the "soul" of the team.
10) So far a great road trip. Keep it going tonight. Who will step up? Assuming the Beast will not see a lot of minutes after 37 or 38 last night.
11) So, if George & Hibbert continue to be average at best / underachieve for another 20 or so games, do they have any trade value?
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
If we somehow find a way to win at Golden State this evening, there's a chance we'll not only be back in the playoff picture at 9-8, but also leading the division! Unfortunately, we have to count on losses by both the Bulls (at home versus the 76ers) and Bucks (hosting the Celtics) for this scenario to go down, but it isn't out of the question. Need to care take of business at Oracle first.
Great post!
No you aren't the fly in the soup. You just pointed out how it is. You're correct this team needs to work on being more consistant. I was screaming at Vogel when he had 5 reserves playing together, and they couldn't produce. Vogel needs to have a couple of starters on the floor with the bench.
Speaking of the bench, I felt Sam had a reeeeally nice game and DJ was productive as well. Quinn was constantly pointing out the positives of the bench in the game. It's like he reads PD and is trying to offset the negativism felt about the bench players.
THIS. And there is still plenty of room to improve on it especially when playing against a zone.
we are clearly in the worst division in the NBA this year. It will come down to Pacers vs Bulls for the division winner. I am projecting Milwaukee to fade
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Vnzla admitted yesterday he was wrong about DWest. Although, it is fun to needle him a little about it. He can handle it though. He has to be given credit to his being right about Varejao when many weren't.
We are a playoff team, but not contending with this group. Maybe if Granger returns and Hibbert and George step up we can bump with the elite. But none of those things are happening.
Paul George is a disappointment. This is his third year and he's supposed to be the future, right? Well, 4 points on 2-11 shooting and 0-6 from three point range isn't much of a future. It's time to downgrade expectations for the young man.
Lance Stephenson, Mr. Born Ready, may need to crawl back in the womb. Dude got a goose egg and basically contributed nothing.
Roy Hibbert, our supposed all-star center, had about as many fouls as points made. He's not a spring chicken folks. If he doesn't eliminate games like this, we don't have the answer at the C position.
Seriously, I think these guys should be putting things together by now. Especially Hibbert who turns 26 in a few days and is already in his 5th year in the league.
I never got the feeling Bird wanted both DWest and Nene. Maybe I missed it. My impression Bird wanted Nene, and when the price got ridiculous he went after Dwest.
With Hibbert's contract, I don't see he has any trade value the way he's playing. If he was being paid 10 mil, he might have some value, but his stats are less than D. Jordan and J McGee who are being paid 10 mil this season. The worst thing that happened for the Pacers was that Hibbert was an Allstar last season. That's the difference in his salary and McGee and Jordan's. Hibbert's agent capitalized on that and got Walsh to overpay. Walsh had to have a sick feeling when he watch Hibbert twice miss the rim on shots last night after what he paid Hibbert to keep him. 3-9 shooting at 33 1/3%. Pathetic!
Didn't get on here to comment last night, too wrapped up in the game. All I gotta say is David West is a super-beast and owned the Kings. I know Kings fans had to be frustrated every time he kept knocking down shots. He had the kind of performance that makes an opposing fan keep slapping their forehead.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
You are an Indiana Pacers hater and specially a Larry Bird hater because they are the ones that took that whole trip to kiss Nene's a** to bring him here, no me, all I did was agree with Bird so stop it.
I love how I'm supposed to be the only that wanted him when a huge group of people wanted him also.
The George Hill and David West acquisitions are looking good about now.

With easy access to the East Coast's growing regions, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., distributors enjoy a thriving business selling local produce.
Distributors say they have always promoted local product and report strong customer interest in buying local and regional produce.
The distributors draw from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia growers, the region's Eastern Shore and other nearby states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Ohio.
Distributors say the summer remained challenging for procurement of local product.
"There have been a lot of issues this year with the weather," said Gus Pappas, president of Pete Pappas & Sons Inc., Washington, D.C.
"Growers had a lot of rain and heat. There was a lot of damage done by the inches and inches of rain that inundated growers and it really shortened the growing seasons in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina."
Local demand remains strong, Pappas said.
T.J. Rahll, operations manager of Edward G. Rahll & Sons Inc., Jessup, Md., echoed the season's weather problems.
He said the weather harmed the product quality distributors normally see.
Rahll said the distributor works closely with some of the larger local growers to ensure it ships quality and safe produce.
"We are constantly working with them to help them get their certifications," he said.
"We're doing our best to prepare them for the audits which are coming. It's tough. Many of the smaller guys say they will be gone and won't be growing anymore once the auditing requirements come. But many other don't have that attitude and see that's the way the future will be."
Sal Cefalu, owner and director of CGC Holdings, the parent company of Jessup-based G. Cefalu & Bro. Inc. and Capital Seaboard, said the distributor works closely with its local growers.
"Everyone says buy local and we agree with it," Cefalu said.
"But as a reputable company that's trying to do things the right way, we have to make sure all the documentation is in place. A smaller farmer here is growing his product properly just as the national farms in Florida and California, but we have to get that documentation to hold up.
"As long as the farmer can provide the documentation to us and the support we need to follow through, we really try to support the local growers."
Distributing local product remains a natural for Lancaster Foods Inc. in Jessup, which trucks produce to customers throughout the eastern U.S.
Jerry Chadwick, vice president of sales and marketing, said buyers can better source local production by working with distributors that possess expertise in dealing with growers.
"A lot of retailers, if they're dealing with a small farmer, the product sometimes looks like it came directly from the field, with clumps of dirt on the squash," he said.
"That's not what consumers are expecting. They can get that when dealing with small local growers or the product isn't properly cooled.
"The value we believe we provide is we have the eyes and food safety inspectors and quality control between the grower and the retailer."
Just because something is marketed as locally grown doesn't mean distributors automatically accept the product.
"We will take local if it's better but by the same token, we won't sell local only because it's local," said Tony Vitrano, president of the Tony Vitrano Co., Jessup.
"It's a question of quality. The quality and availability has to be there."
Vitrano said the distributor is handling more local produce than it did a decade ago and defines local as product grown within driving distances of several hours.

Before every game, veteran college football beat writer Robbie Andreu comes up with five pertinent questions and then answers them after the game.
Before every game, veteran college football beat writer Robbie Andreu comes up with five pertinent questions and then answers them after the game. Here's Week 9:
1. Will Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel rebound from his four-turnover performance against Georgia?
He did. He went from four turnovers last week to none Saturday. He came close a couple of times, throwing at least several passes dangerously into coverage and he lost a ball out of bounds scrambling for yardage in the first half. Other than that, he took care of the football and executed enough plays to help the Gators get out of this one with a victory. The screen pass to Mike Gillislee for a 45-yard touchdown play early in the fourth quarter was beautifully set up. But it would not have ended the way it did had Driskel not been able to sidestep a defender to get the pass off. Overall, it was another solid, but unspectacular performance for the true sophomore. He completed 13-of-23 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown and was not sacked, although he was under pressure for much of the game. It wasn't always pretty, but Driskel and the Gators rebounded from the Georgia turnover fest.
2. Will the UF offensive line continue to struggle opening holes in the running game and protecting Driskel?
The offensive line didn't do much of anything in the first half. Very little in the way of running room for Gillislee and not a lot of time in the pocket for Driskel. But with the game on the line in the second half, and UF losing two starters (guards James Wilson and Jon Halapio) to injuries, the big guys found a way to somehow get it done. The blocking downfield on the screen play let Gillislee cover the 45 yards untouched. And the crease created on the right side on Omarius Hines' 36-yard TD run on a speed sweep was huge. Like Gillislee, Hines was untouched. The biggest concern with the line now is the injuries. Starting left tackle Xavier Nixon (knee) did not play Saturday, so in the fourth quarter, the Gators were playing without three starters. Backup center Sam Robey replaced Halapio, and Ian Silberman stepped in for Wilson. There's a good chance the Gators will be without Halapio, Wilson and Nixon this week against Louisiana-Lafayette. If they can't go, depth becomes a huge issue.
3. Can the Gators find a way to make some plays downfield in the passing game?
For the second time in three games, the Gators hit a long touchdown pass that was called back by a penalty. This time it was a holding penalty on Halapio that wiped out a 45-yard TD strike down the middle to Frankie Hammond Jr. Other than that, there were not many attempts by Driskel to launch it downfield. It was pretty much the same story we've seen in the past four weeks. Driskel didn't have much time and his receivers did not appear to be getting open. The big passing plays down the field have simply not been there, and the Gators are rarely trying to force the issue. That's why Driskel is averaging only about 100 yards passing a game for the past five games.
4. Will the Gators be emotionally flat after last week's crushing loss to Georgia?
The Gators came out fired up and seemed ready to play. The question is, were the fans flat. It looked like it about 15 minutes before kickoff, when there were thousands of empty seats in the stands, especially on the student side. But the fans eventually showed up and did their part to give the Gators some energy in the second half. The defense missed some tackles on the Missouri wide receivers and tailback Kendial Lawrence, but other than that, there were no obvious signs the Gators were suffering from a hangover from the loss to the Bulldogs the week before.
5. Can the Florida defense prevent dual-threat Missouri quarterback James Franklin from making big, game-changing plays?
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said before the game that Franklin, who has been nursing an injured knee, was at about 85 percent for the game. The Gators can be thankful he was not 100 percent. Franklin made all kinds of plays with his arm and his legs and really had the UF defense on its heels at times in the second half. But he did not make the game-changing plays. The Florida defense did — at his expense. The Gators intercepted four of his passes, the final pick coming in the end zone in the game's closing seconds to secure the Gator victory. Franklin threw for 236 yards and had a 22-yard run on a scramble, but the defense would not let him beat them.

MINNEAPOLIS - On a record-book day for Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State made sure the longest bowl streak in program history remained intact.
The Spartans overpowered bowl-bound Minnesota, 26-10, at frosty TCF Bank Stadium, Saturday, lifting MSU to a 6-6 record and bowl eligibility.
Michigan State is expected to accept a bid to play in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., on Dec. 29 against a Big 12 opponent.
It will be Michigan State's sixth straight bowl appearance.
"It was a must win for us," said wide receiver Bennie Fowler. "We didn't want to be the first team in the Dantonio era not to go to a bowl game."
Fowler (7 catches, 101 yards) and Bell did everything they could to ensure a crucial sixth victory, and with it a portal into December bowl practices.
"I said this was the most important game of the season," Dantonio said. "It's a program win."
A win which enables Michigan State to remain a program which achieves postseason status on an annual basis.
Bell rumbled for a career-high 266 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown to put the game away.
Bell carried 35 times and Dan Conroy made four of his five field-goal attempts, three of them from 43 yards or longer, to help the Spartans (6-6, 3-5 Big Ten) wear down the Gophers (6-6, 2-6).
Minnesota played the second half without coach Jerry Kill on the sideline. Minnesota officials indicated that Kill suffered a seizure.
"He's doing all right," Gophers defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys said of Kill, after the game. "He's still here (in the stadium). He's resting and he'll be fine."
Aaron Hill's 33-yard interception return for a touchdown gave Minnesota a 7-3 lead it kept for more than 18 minutes in the first half, but Jordan Wettstein's season-long 48-yard field goal was the only offensive score for the Gophers, who had a season-low 96 total yards -- and just 4 yards rushing.
Minnesota QB Philip Nelson threw three interceptions, two by Johnny Adams, and was replaced in the fourth quarter by Max Shortell, who was picked off too.
"We had a lot of resolve when we came to this football game today," Dantonio said. "We played through the tough times in this game."
Despite the single-digit margin that lasted until 7:25 was left, when Bell patiently waited for an opening around left end and jogged across the goal line, this was downright domination for the Spartans considering how close all their games were this season. They lost five times in conference play by a total of 13 points, and their other two Big Ten wins were by seven points combined.
Adams moved into 10th on Michigan State's all-time list with 11 interceptions. The first one set up Conroy's first field goal, but the Spartans advanced only 3 yards after it. The second one led to a punt.
For all the work the defense did to keep the Gophers competitive, there were two costly lapses. In the second quarter, Andrew Maxwell went 5 for 7 for 74 yards to lead an 82-yard touchdown drive capped by a 40-yard catch and run for the score by Bennie Fowler off a tipped pass. Fowler finished with seven receptions and 101 yards.
Then there was the clinching march, when Bell ran eight straight times to close from 8 yards out and stretch the lead to 16 points.
Bell was the conference's second-leading rusher behind Wisconsin's Montee Ball entering the week, and is ninth in the nation. The junior became the seventh rusher in Spartans history to pass the 3,000-yard mark for his career.
Bell's 1,648 yards on the year is the second-most in MSU history, trailing only Lorenzo White's 2,000-plus yard sophomore season in 1985.
Maxwell was intercepted twice in the first half, including one by Brock Vereen in the end zone.
Hill's slick grab in the flat was the third pick returned for a touchdown against Maxwell this season. He has 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season. He went 13 for 29 for 143 yards.
Nelson finished 10 for 23 for 61 yards.
Minnesota's trouble moving the ball was predictable. The Gophers, except for their 34-point first half that fueled a 44-28 win over Purdue on Oct. 28, haven't scored more than 17 points in a game since a mid-September win over Western Michigan.
The Gophers finally have their offensive line close to full strength after a slew of injuries, but wide receiver Marcus Jones and tight end Drew Goodger were both out this game with maladies of their own. And, of course, their best wide receiver, A.J. Barker, is gone after angrily quitting the team earlier this week in a dispute with Kill.
Then there's that Spartans defense, as stingy as ever despite this disappointing follow-up to those consecutive 11-win seasons. Seventh in the nation and tops in the Big Ten in yards allowed per game, this group hasn't been to blame for the slip.
The Gophers had won their final home game in each of their first three seasons at TCF Bank Stadium and were 11-4 on senior day over the previous 15 years.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

He had the Wraith, Katana, Teedevil, Destroyer, and Boss, with weights from 150-154g. My Katana and Wraith were the same color as his Katana and Wraith. In any case, I got to try them all.
My over all impression: Very nice! I was concentrating on making ultra-clean throws, I didn't ever grip it and rip it (need to go to a field). I had no problems getting any of these to 350' with very little effort. My buddy had some of his longest ever throws with the Wraith. The Boss and Destroyer both flew very over-stable, just like you'd expect these to fly when new in Champion plastic. The Teedevil flew straight at high speed, but became highly LSS as it slowed down (as much as the Boss and Destroyer). The Wraith and Katana were both very straight, the Wraith had a nice tight fade at the end of the flight, reliably coming back each time. Big skips from the Katana, but a gentle fade. The biggest advantage I noticed is the ability to get these discs very high in the air with very little effort. Good for steep uphill, or going over tree lines.
I will be very curious to see how these discs beat in over time. That will really show whether they share the advantage of Champion plastic.

TPWD Print-Friendly Page: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/print.phtml?req=20090528eMedia Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 [SL]

TPWD News Release — May 28, 2009
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas will likely revert this fall to the standard 74-day season and six bird daily bag limit framework for ducks during the general waterfowl seasons. The department is proposing dates and bag limit possibilities based on a liberal season package, pending authorization of the federal framework for the Central Flyway by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Texas has the option this year of taking the duck season to the last Sunday in January, however, TPWD staff is recommending a return to the Sunday nearest Jan. 20 due to biological concerns.
TPWD is recommending the High Plains Mallard Management Unit waterfowl season run Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 24 — 25 and Friday, Oct. 30 through Sunday, Jan. 24, with a youth-only season of Saturday/Sunday, Oct. 17-18.
The proposed season for the North and South Zones would run concurrently Saturday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, Nov. 29 and Saturday, Dec. 12 through Sunday, Jan. 24, with a youth-only season of Saturday/Sunday, Oct. 24-25 to avoid conflict with the youth deer season.
The daily bag limit statewide would be six ducks, with the following species and sex restrictions: five mallards (of which only two may be hens), three wood ducks, two scaup, two redheads, one pintail, one canvasback, and one "dusky duck" (mottled duck, Mexican-like duck, black duck and their hybrids).
"There still remains the outside chance that pintail, canvasback and mottled ducks could have a season within a season structure or a 39 day season within the 74 days allowed," said Dave Morrison, TPWD waterfowl program leader.
The season dates TPWD is proposing for the Western Goose Zone are Saturday, Nov. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 7. The daily bag limit is 20 light geese in the aggregate and four Canada geese and one white-fronted goose. Possession limit is twice the daily bag limit for dark geese and no possession limit on light geese.
Proposed dates for the Eastern Goose Zone are Saturday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, Jan. 24 for light geese and Canada geese and Saturday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, Jan. 10 for white-fronted geese. The daily bag limit is 20 light geese in the aggregate and three Canada geese and two white-fronted geese.
"Texas is allowed a maximum of 107 days for Canada and light goose hunting," Morrison explained. "As in the past we are suggesting a season that has fewer days than allowed by federal framework to take advantage of the Light Goose Conservation Order and begin this special management practice on the day after the regular duck seasons close."
White-fronted geese may be hunted for only 72 days. All goose seasons would open concurrent with duck season but the white-fronted goose season in the Eastern Zone would close two weeks earlier because of the difference in total number of days allowed for hunting.
The dates being considered for the Light Goose Conservation Order are Monday, Feb. 8 through Sunday, Mar. 28 in the Western Goose Zone and Monday, Jan. 25 through Sunday, Mar. 28 in the Eastern Goose Zone. These dates open the Light Goose Conservation Order the day following the close of the regular duck or goose season.
Federal frameworks allow sandhill crane hunting in Texas between Sept. 1 and Feb. 28. Texas is allowed up to 93 days of sandhill crane hunting in Zones A and B and up to 37 days in Zone C.
The recommended sandhill crane season dates for Zone A are Saturday, Nov. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 7 with a daily bag limit of three birds.
The season opening in Zone B is delayed about 3 weeks after Zone A opens to give whooping cranes that might be migrating through the zone adequate time to move through before sandhill crane season begins. TPWD is proposing Zone B season to run Friday, Nov. 27 through Sunday, Feb. 7 with a daily bag limit of three birds.
Zone C does not open until late December to give whooping cranes adequate time to get to the Aransas area and the proposed dates are Saturday, Dec. 26 through Sunday, Jan. 24 with a daily bag limit of two birds.
Since the limited comments received during scoping at the various public hearings indicated the opening of the Light Goose Conservation Order should begin the day after the duck season closes, this would require a shortening of the Zone C crane season by one week. This season would be 30 days rather than the 37 days prescribed by current federal frameworks.
Possession limits statewide are twice the daily bag limits.
Suggested dates for falconry season for ducks are Monday, Jan. 25 through Tuesday, Feb. 9 in the North and South Zones. There is no Extended Season in the High Plains Mallard Management Unit because the total 107 days allowed are used by the other ducks season in this area.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed migratory seasons by contacting Dave Morrison, TPWD Waterfowl Program Leader, 4200 Smith School Rd., Austin, TX 78744 or email email@example.com.

Javier Bardem's performance as Bond villain Raoul Silva in Skyfall has been recognised with a Bafta nomination.
The Spanish star has been named on the shortlist for the Best Supporting Actor award along with other big names including Tommy Lee Jones.
His Bond co-star, Dame Judi Dench, is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as spy master M in the same film, which has a total of eight nominations. She will face competition from Anne Hathaway who is nominated for her role in the big screen version of Les Miserables.
Daniel Day-Lewis is nominated for the Best Actor award for his performance in the title role of Lincoln - Steven Spielberg's biopic of the US president who led his country through the civil war.
He is up against stars including Ben Affleck and Hathaway's co-star Hugh Jackman. Dame Helen Mirren is nominated in the Best Actress category for her role in Hitchcock - playing the wife of the famous filmmaker.
Skyfall is also nominated for Outstanding British Film and Original Music - a nod to Adele who provided the hit Bond theme of the same name. The film also picks up nods for Cinematography, Editing, Production Design and Sound.
Spielberg's Lincoln leads the field with 10 nominations, with nine each for Les Miserables and Life Of Pi. Quentin Tarantino is nominated for Director and Original Screenplay for his western Django Unchained and one of its stars, Christoph Waltz, is nominated for Supporting Actor.
TV star Dexter Fletcher is nominated for an Outstanding Debut award - with his co-writer Danny King - for their work on Wild Bill.
The award for best film sees Lincoln and Les Miserables up against Affleck's Argo, Life Of Pi and Zero Dark Thirty - the story of the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. Affleck could walk away with two of the night's biggest prizes - Best Director and Best Actor - for his work on Argo.
Les Miserables is also in with a chance to win Outstanding British Film along with Anna Karenina, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Seven Psychopaths and the latest Bond.
Daniel Day-Lewis is expected to land a Bafta nomination(Bafta)

Clinic so user friendly
Three weeks ago, I had a case of Chubbie Wubbies, as one of our sons used to describe his situation when he wasn't feeling well. In my case of CW, goose bumps and chills went up my back, shoulders and into where my baldness hasn't reached the lower back of my head and neck. These little 30-second episodes were distracting enough that after the third or so recurrence, I described them to my Nurse/wife. Hmm. She wanted me to go to the doctor, but I felt my symptoms were beyond diagnosis. Somehow, another one of our sons, who is a deputy sheriff and EMT instructor in Cody, got involved. Rather than having him drive up and forcibly escort me to the emergency facility at Beartooth Billings Clinic, I decided to pick up the phone and call. At the appointed time a couple of hours later, the lady at the reception area had me checked in and waiting for the beeper-shaker device to prompt me that something was going to happen. Nurse Very Nice had me weigh in, etc., during which time I discovered I was only a bit over six feet tall, which made me about three inches shorter than I had thought just moments before. I silently concluded that my shrinkage was causing the Chubbie Wubbies. Nope. Physician Assistant Douglas Whitehead knocked gently on the door of the exam room and things really got going after a handshake, a bit of get-acquainted small talk and my explanation of symptoms. The sequence escapes me, but it included blood and urine samples, chest x-rays and a check-up on my previous bout with cancer 15 years ago. All of the foregoing seemed to take place in a flash, with clear explanations and purpose all the way. At PA Whitehead's suggestion, we waited around for results to converge and a diagnosis. Kapow! I had pneumonia. No more CW subsequent to the first pill that was prescribed. I honestly still don't know the difference between a physician assistant and a nurse practitioner, but wanted to tell someone, anyone, why not everyone, how well the Beartooth Billings Clinic treats its patients from the moment they arrive and throughout. Last, but not least, grateful compliments go to Physician Assistant Douglas Whitehead for his professionalism and medical diagnostic skills. Sincerely, Keith McClain Red Lodge

California State Parks will begin work on two projects this year, in addition to commencing work on the Ten Mile Dunes restoration project. Loren Rex, superintendent for the Mendocino District, said State Parks will begin work on the Big River haul road.
The funding for the Big River haul road project is coming from Caltrans as part of habitat restoration connected with the Greenwood Bridge replacement project.
Also, the bathrooms at Lake Cleone parking lot at MacKerricher State Park will be demolished. They are already closed, lack fixtures and are not connected to the new sewer main that was put in last summer.
Big River haul road
About a half-mile in from the gate near the Big River information kiosk, before reaching the abandoned rock quarry, there are two sections that were identified by California Geological Survey to be in jeopardy of serious blowouts, Rex said.
According to Rex, the old logging road was originally put in with very small culverts. Over time the canyon has filled with sediment washed from the slopes into small streams that flow into Big River. The logging companies kept raising the culverts higher and higher as it filled up, but a major rain event could wash all that sediment out, Rex said, and blow the road out.
He said the sediment would wash into Big River and cause major damage to the wildlife.
State Parks plans to remove sections of the haul road and use the material to backfill the rock quarry. The project calls for putting in a very short bridge over the low-lying areas that will be created by taking the material out.
Rex hopes to stabilize the areas, restore native plants and possibly restore fish runs up the tributaries as part of the project.
The project is scheduled to start this summer. The process will require lengthy closures of the haul road due to the presence of heavy equipment such as bulldozers.
The project is being funded by Caltrans related to the Greenwood Bridge replacement. Part of their mitigation on that project is improving habitation in Big River, Rex said. The public should start seeing activity starting this month in preparation for the project, he said.
He said the long-term plan is to try to restore the Big River haul road to be passable for emergency vehicles.
The haul road project is part of a long process of providing better public access to the area, Rex said.
"We have that acquisition, but we don't have a general plan. That's a public process that's fairly high on the statewide priority list of ones to start moving forward on," he said.
That process will involve public hearings to address appropriate uses for the Big River property, such as designating trails.
Lake Cleone
In the next couple of weeks, work will begin to remove the bathrooms at the Lake Cleone parking lot at MacKerricher State Park north of Fort Bragg. The interiors have already been largely stripped, Rex said.
The work is part of the coastal development project that allowed State Parks to put the restrooms near the Laguna Point parking lot, out of the flood zone. During the sewer project last year, the bathrooms were bypassed altogether, Rex said.
"It's time to demo the building," he said.
Ultimately, the area around Lake Cleone is part of a long-term planning project because of continued incursions of the ocean during the winter. Rex said the state had funded the planning process for more than just the bathroom removal, but within the last year California pulled funding for planning.
"We don't have a funded project to look at long-term solutions," Rex said. "It's inevitable with rising sea level and wave activity that we're going to have to find a solution to getting people across that part of Mill Creek. It's sort of a losing battle to keep year round access through there."

Wigginton plays in Minors game for extra at-bats
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Manager Mike Matheny almost opted to bring Ty Wigginton to Osceola County Stadium with the Cardinals. But Matheny decided what the struggling infielder really needed Friday was some at-bats -- as many as possible, in fact.
Matheny instructed the 35-year-old veteran, who's batting just .100 this spring and hasn't recorded a Grapefruit League hit since March 7, to stay at the Cardinals' Spring Training complex and get plenty of at-bats -- perhaps one an inning -- in a Minor League game.
"He's going to stay there and get as many at-bats as he wants, however he wants to do it," Matheny said.
Wigginton's plate appearances have been few and far between in Grapefruit League play lately for a few reasons: the return of Allen Craig and David Freese and the phasing out of the designated hitter as the regular season approaches.
Wigginton only made one trip to the plate this week, on Thursday, and it turned into a double play. It's been that kind of spring for him.
"He's had some good at-bats where he's hit the ball hard, just not the results," Matheny said. "That wears on anybody -- I don't care how many springs you've been through -- if you just don't see the hits falling in, especially a guy on a new team who wants to make an impression."

It all depends on what you think each franchise thinks of all players involved. I could see this either way (being realistic to being laughed at).
Granger for Love and Pekovic.
Pekovic is to make salaries work, but he's also a big tree of a guy to be a backup 5.
It wouldn't hurt if Love quietly asked to be traded, or if Granger is still (over) respected around the league, but this might be enough to get it done.
Cue someone complaining about what's wrong with it (as if 99% of pairings don't have weaknesses), but I like the size and skill set of a Love/Hibbert front court. Between the two you have plenty of rebounding, you have a guy who guards with length, a guy who guards with strength, and both can score points and shoot (Love more than Roy at this point, obviously) and pass. A lot of skill.
Also, I like Tyler as a backup 4 more than I like him as a starting 4, and to have him behind Kevin Love would be great.
This wouldn't be the only move to make, but with this you're looking at:
... with your free agency money still in tact.
Just a thought, but in this scenario, what about throwing some money Shane Battier's way? Smart, reliable, veteran defensive player who can hit a jumpshot.

As an active trader, I am constantly talking about support, resistance, moving averages and Fibonacci levels, but I often take a step back for perspective. The trend has been up for the last decade, and gold should continue to move higher for the foreseeable future. Investors should have some level of exposure to precious metals in their portfolios.
Five reasons why a gold allocation in the past, present and future makes sense:
Portfolio Diversification: I've always been a proponent of owning multiple asset classes in a portfolio to reduce risk or correlation between divergent asset classes, including but not limited to securities, Treasuries, real estate and alternatives. The lower the correlation, the better. In recent years, gold has glittered while other asset classes have suffered.
Scarcity: There isn't an infinite supply of gold. Even with growing worldwide demand, production remains consistent. Only 1% to 2% of new gold production is added to the stockpile annually. In this environment, the market is not immune to significant supply shocks.
Inflation Hedge: The money-printing process being implemented by the Federal Reserve and other central banks leads us down a path to inflation. The difficult part is anticipating the timing. By definition, growth in the money supply is inflation in its purest form, and currently that is an acceptable practice. Gold has been and should continue to be a hedge against real or perceived inflation.
Store of Value: Inflation erodes the value of dollar-denominated assets, which translates into investors losing by saving and having assets in a depreciating currency. Gold allows appreciation when the underlying currency is depreciating without the fear of losing money. In the last 10 years, the U.S. dollar has lost approximately 30% of its buying power.
Maintain Purchasing Power: Gold allows the consumer to buy the same quantity of goods over time. For example, over the past 50 years gold has bought roughly the same amount of oil with some variations at market extremes.

FIREFIGHTERS are examining an electronic-cigarette charger as part of their investigations into a kitchen blaze.
Crews were called to a house on Meadow Walk, Farnworth, just before 6am.
The fire was out on arrival and caused minimal damage.
The occupier was awoken by the sound of the smoke alarm.
He suffered slight effects of smoke but declined hospital treatment.
Firefighters were on the scene for 20 minutes and a spokesman said the charger would form part of the investigation into the cause.
This week the Fire Brigade highlighted concerns over the safety of e-cigarettes, following a fire in East London, which investigators believed was caused by an incompatible charger.
Crews rescued a woman suffering smoke inhalation and shock.
This led London Fire Brigade urging people not to leave items e-cigaretters on charger over night or when they are sleeping and for retailers to ensure they are selling the correct chargers for the cigarettes.

I don't think our team would ever back down from any physical challenge."'

Since we have simplified the play book and are still playing pretty well on offense. the Seahawks don't scare me at all. With sanders in there the run attack would suffer a lot more.

Our run D is not good today
I think i actullay feel better about things today than last week, than against SD. Seattle has stopped the run nicely and run all over us, but that is something that can be easily corrected with two weeks worth of prep

The Seahawks don't really scare me at all. I know they could beat the Colts in the Super Bowl, but there's no reason to believe they will.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Is it the playoffs yet?
Stupid Seahawks, taking ***** against our second/third strongers.

I do hope, however, Seattle realizes that we weren't playing our "real" playbook, and I hope they realize we played our secondary/third stringers....

I don't expect Seattle to make the SB, though.
Ponies lose, 28-13.
So that makes us, what...0-7 in meaningless games?

The DT 770 M is a typical product from beyerdynamic. Regarding the sound it is not exaggerating, but sounds rather pleasantly modest without any hype. The ambient noise attenuation is clearly higher as with its counterpart DT 770 Pro. Therefore, the M version is perfect for FOH jobs.

250,000 Swine Flu Deaths in One Year?
When you're sick, do you go to the doctor? What about when you're poor and the nearest doctor is several hours away? A study by Dr Fatimah S. Dawood of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hints that the 2009/2010 H1N1 swine flu pandemic might have been responsible for over a quarter of a million human deaths worldwide. To that happy news, a h5n1 (bird flu) paper finally published last week outlines a great (natural) method to make the strain much more virulent and contagious. Basically, we just have to sit back and wait! "The papers published this week and last month show that it would take about four or five genetic changes for H5N1 to mutate into a form that might trigger a pandemic in humans, and that some of these mutations have already occurred in nature." Happy reading, and remember to elect representatives who take your health seriously.

People have many reasons for volunteering to serve their county. A victim of Nazi oppression growing up Jewish in Germany, former longtime Los Altos resident Henry Burger was motivated to enlist at 17 after his family successfully immigrated to the U.S.
Burger's parents were able to bring their family to New York in 1938, escaping Hitler's oppression. By the mid-1940s, Burger attempted to join the military to fight those who were persecuting his family and friends who remained in Germany. However, he was rejected because he had not been in the U.S. long enough to apply for citizenship and was therefore categorized an "enemy alien" during much of World War II. Later, Burger was drafted into the U.S. Navy and finalized his citizenship after completing boot camp.
Now, looking back at his time in the military, the 87-year-old resident, who moved to Palo Alto's Moldaw Residences in 2010, said he is grateful for what he believes was an enlightening and interesting experience.
"I was in the same mindset as countless others – stop Hitlerism any way you could," Burger said. "Having been a victim of the Nazis, I was anxious to serve in any capacity and glad I had the chance to repay the U.S. for what this country has done for me."
Burger's family lived in one of the worst cities under Hitler's control – Nuremberg, where Hitler addressed the masses. He recalled the different ways he and other Jews living there were oppressed during his childhood.
"In '34, we couldn't go to public schools anymore – we were sent to separate Jewish schools – and the next year all non-Jewish teachers were told they could no longer teach us there," he said. "My parents got us out just 10 days before Kristallnacht, a series of violent attacks and demolitions targeting Jews, so we were very fortunate."
After finishing boot camp, he went before the court to verify his U.S. citizenship before deployment.
"If I had been captured by the Germans during the war, I would have been killed on the spot as a 'traitor of the nation,'" he said.
Burger underwent additional training in Fort Lauderdale and Guantanamo Bay, and then was sent to various naval bases. He was also stationed on the USS Oregon City, a newly built heavy cruiser.
"Although I didn't get the opportunity to engage in combat, I am glad I served," he said. "It was an interesting experience for sure, and I think everyone learns a lot when serving in the military."
Burger said being in the military makes one more sensitive toward the needs of others and develops deep relationships. Probably the most important life lesson learned during his time in service, he noted, was how to get along with different kinds of people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Burger maintains that it's important to hear the stories of those who have served and be reminded of veterans' sacrifices.
"America is the greatest country in the world, despite the many problems we may face," he said. "In my opinion, we need to do more to meet the needs of our nations' veterans once they return from service."
When Burger finished his military duty, he enrolled in college and simultaneously finished his high school requirements during night classes. He enjoyed a successful career in public accounting and married his childhood sweetheart, Lottie, who had escaped from Germany with her family at approximately the same time his family did. They have three children and seven grandchildren.

Enrollment at West Virginia State University is continuing to increase, according to school officials.
Fall enrollment has increased by more than 6 percent at WVSU since last fall, putting current enrollment at nearly 2,850 students, according to preliminary figures released Thursday. Final enrollment numbers for the 2014-15 academic year will not released until next month, according to the state Higher Education Policy Commission.
The 6.4 percent increase since last year amounts to an additional 170 students, according to a WVSU news release release.
Enrollment also increased by about 30 students from fall 2012 to fall 2013.
In addition, WVSU welcomed 422 first-time freshmen this fall.
Last year, WVSU saw a record increase in first-time freshmen enrollment, which increased by 48 percent compared to 2012 freshmen numbers.
Current transfer students are also up by nearly 20 percent at WVSU.
More than 200 students from out of state have also signed on to WVSU this year — an increase of nearly 13 percent since last year's out-of-state numbers.
WVSU has also improved its retention rates among first-time, full-time students.
Over the past two years, retention rates have increased from 50 percent to 59 percent.
"This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about the variety of new and long-standing, quality areas of study we offer at West Virginia State," WVSU President Brian Hemphill said in a statement. "Coupled with the infrastructure investments we have made on campus, including the opening of our first new residence hall since 1969, more students are choosing State to continue their education and prepare them to lead the workforce of tomorrow."
"This shows the investments we have made in academic programs, student life and infrastructure are paying off as our students are choosing to stay here," he said.
