West Virginia University announced Friday it's partnering with Paradigm Development Group LLC to build a $70 million residential and retail complex called University Place, a project school officials say will transform a blighted section of Morgantown and create much-needed quality housing.
The build-out is expected to be done by the fall semester of 2014, but the demolition of existing houses and at least one bar in the Sunnyside area will begin soon: in late December or early January. WVU said it will immediately begin contacting students to help them find other housing for the spring semester.
Dean of Students Corey Farris said nearly 100 students may be affected in the initial phase, though he received the list of addresses Friday morning and hadn't yet determined the precise number. Those who live in the area bound by University, Third, Houston and Grant streets will be moved out first.
WVU will work with them to ensure that they don't face higher rents as a result, Farris said. WVU will compensate either the student or the landlord for what it considers "reasonable" price differences. WVU also will hire local movers to assist with the relocations.
"The bottom line is, no one's rent is going to go up," he said. "We know it's disruptive to the people involved, so we'll do everything we can to make it easy on them. We're not going to leave them in the lurch."
There are many options for those displaced, Farris said, including The Augusta apartments, university-owned apartments near the medical center and traditional residence halls with meal plans. Farris' staff has also reached out to landlords with vacancies.
This week, WVU's Board of Governors approved a $14.5 million real estate deal with Paradigm and RCL Holding for 39 parcels on five acres in the run-down section of Morgantown that's long been dominated by old student housing.
Though the deal was reached in May, it was only revealed to legislators in a report last month and made public this week — a level of secrecy that has spawned harsh criticism of WVU on social media. Student Government Association President Zach Redding sits on the Board of Governors, but he didn't immediately return messages about the project Friday.
WVU President Jim Clements says the project is a transformative initiative for a part of town that needs it. It also supports WVU's master plan, which includes creating more housing to accommodate the school's ever-expanding enrollment.
Narvel Weese, vice president for administration and finance, says the area is near Summit and Honors Halls, and just a few blocks from the downtown campus.
With 297,000 square feet of rentable space and 268,000 square feet of student space — or about 980 beds in 265 apartments — University Place promises to be "amazing," Weese said. The plan calls for two multistory buildings and 2 acres for about 400 parking spaces.
The residential units will have private bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchens, wireless high-speed Internet, air conditioning and laundry facilities — all amenities that Weese says students have long requested.
"In a time when other parts of the country are suffering economically, Morgantown and WVU keep making smart investments that keep the community economically viable," he said.
The designers are Grimm and Parker Architects of Calverton, Md.
Townhouses are also planned, separated from the two main buildings by a pedestrian path.
Mayor Jim Manilla says the new construction will not only have a long-term positive impact on the community, but could also help curtail the street and trash bin fires that students have made the area known for.
The development will also include nearly 30,000 square feet of retail space, with tenants that are expected to include a grocery store, a restaurant and a fitness center. A substation for WVU Police is also planned; officers currently set up command centers outside Summit Hall when they're bracing for postgame revelry and rioting.
University Place is expected to generate $1.5 million in construction-related business and occupational taxes in the early phases, plus taxes on student housing and retail rents in the future. Down the road, officials like Manilla hope the neighborhood will attract other businesses.
Just last month, WVU acquired more than 25 acres, including rental properties, three other lots and an unoccupied apartment building, for about $10 million. Last year, WVU bought the Augusta apartment complex property out of bankruptcy for $13.1 million.
WVU has been aggressive about acquiring property when it makes sense, and Board of Governors Chairman Drew Payne said Thursday that people should expect that to continue "where it makes sense for the university and the city," particularly around the Evansdale campus.

11/1/13 - Hit window has been tightened up a bit following more playtesting. Songs are hosted on Dropbox btw, so if it says loading 0% for more than a few seconds then Dropbox is down! Doesn't happen often though, they're quite reliable.
10/1/13 - Feedback dialogue upon failing a level is now skippable! Thanks to the suggestions in the comments, and the NG team for featuring the game. You may need to Ctrl-F5 (or the Mac/Linux equivalent) the page to clear your cache and get it to load the newer version.
Edit: Thank you for all the kind words people :) We're trying hard to get this game sponsored so we can dole out the full version. So if you liked it, rating this game on the sidebar (even multiple times!) to the left would be very charitable of you and help increase the game's visibility in this Flash jungle. The review scores don't count towards the rating, so if you wrote a review it would doubly help if you rated on the sidebar too. WE LOVE YOU!
Oh, unlocking the secret level involves perfecting a particularly hard level. It's.. for your own good.
Browser: Anything but Chrome
Flash Player: 11.4 or above
IF YOU INSIST ON USING CHROME: The Chrome problem is not specific to this game, but affects all games. It's just this game requires a degree of accuracy so high that the tiny lag caused by Chrome's inbuilt Flash Player is enough to throw the timing off. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK IN CHROME by going to chrome://plugins and disabling all plugins with 'PepperFlash' in the location. This will make it use the normal Flash player like the other browsers, if you have it installed.
IF YOU ARE USING LINUX: The latest Flash version is 11.2 which unfortunately doesn't include the amazing sound latency update. The game should still be playable, the only difference being that the audiophiles will notice a 0.1s latency between pressing a key and hearing its sound effect. However if you're used to playing flash games on 11.2 and have never noticed this then it shouldn't affect you! Just press enter at the warning.
Rhythm Doctor is a tough ONE-BUTTON rhythm game heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven!
For those who played Rhythm Heaven, the defining feature of the series is the extremely strict margin of error, compared to any other music game out there. This means many people even realise their rhythm is a little off until they play Rhythm Heaven. My game seeks to emulate that feeling :)
Many. many hours have been spent making the engine accurate. After extensive testing we found a calibration that worked for all browsers except Chrome, which lags due to it using PepperFlash. Enjoy!

3) despite this problem and the fact it's just a demo, this is EXACTLY what I want to see more of on NG!
thanks! trying to fix it now ugh
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 10, 2013
I do want this game out, hence the high review, but for me personally, it was a horrible game. Why? Not because of any gameplay reasons, but rather due to an utter lack of gameplay.
"Patience; approaching" and "Patient approaching...0%" plagued my experience with this game. The only person I was able to treat was the Samurai, and I got an S-rank. I assume the game is more difficult than that, and has more variety in music, but I can only assume.
All of my other patients take far too much patience (29 minutes and counting) for me to continue my profession as a rhythm doctor.
!!! None of the songs are working now!
Thanks for alerting me about this, would never have realised. Turns out Dropbox (on which I'm hosting the song files) has gone down. https://twitter.com/DropboxOps Sigh.
Currently seeing if I can move the song files over to NG instead. Thanks for not hating!

July 23, 2013
MUMBAI: To check malpractices in flying schools, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday issued a circular asking flying training organizations to instal cameras for real-time surveillance through the internet. Three years ago, fake records were unearthed from a few flying schools where students and instructors had fraudulently entered logs of flights, which were never undertaken, into their training books. The scam particularly raised concerns over the scope of vigilance the regulator could have on flying schools that operated from uncontrolled airfields, that is, from runways that were not manned by the Airports Authority of India's air traffic control.

Autistic air passengers left out of DGCA draft
July 4, 2013
Manju V , TNN
MUMBAI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation's (DGCA) draft on guidelines for airlines for carriage of passengers with physical and mental disability would have been received well had they incorporated autism in their document. On Wednesday, the Indian aviation regulator issued a draft that attempts to make air travel possible and less stressful for such passengers. The draft, which is accessible on the DGCA website, mentions passengers with physiological disorder, cosmetic disfigurement and those with diseases and conditions like epilepsy, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart condition, diabetes, mental retardation, emotional illness, drug addiction and even alcoholism.

"It is such an important deal..., the first big deal in civil aviation ministry. In terms of FDI , it is bigger than any other deal this year. There are so many dimensions to it.

DGCA: Give flyers clear info on amenities they have to pay for
June 29, 2013
MUMBAI: Two months after the government allowed airlines to charge separately for amenities like preferential seating, check-in baggage etc, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation ( DGCA ) has finally issued a circular that lists the dos and don'ts for airlines that are unbundling services and amenities. The new DGCA circular, issued on Friday, says that services permitted for unbundling shall be distinct with a clear description and without any ambiguity. It adds that passengers should be given clear information of these services and their charges so that he/she opts-in only for the services they would like to avail, thereby reducing potential confusion and chances of selecting the services he/she would not like to avail at the time of booking.

The site is going to be a general me site, it'll have an e-resume with some of the projects I've done. It'll also be the home of a music project for my band (I've been writing a rock opera for 3years). There will be some streaming audio and blogging capabilities.
At this point I'm expecting no more than 3 SQL tables with moderate data in each. I intend to use JS, AJAX, and PHP to build the entire site. FTP, HTML and CSS are no strangers to me... I actually hate most dashboards services provide; because I feel it hinders me more than helps.

JD Group continued its run as the worst performer on the JSE on Friday, when its share closed at its lowest level in four years, down 4.07 percent to R25.90. The furniture retailer has been riddled with bad debt, and said last month that it had raised its impaired advances provision to R966 million in the year to June from R557m a year earlier. Furniture retailers that also provide credit have taken a beating as a slowdown in consumer spending and a tighter credit market have crippled sales growth. In the past year, the group, which is owned by Steinhoff, has lost almost half its share value from R47 last September, valuing the company at R5.93 billion. – Zandi Shabalala

BLM Opens Black Rock Station Near Gerlach |
Winnemucca, Nev. — The Black Rock Station visitor contact center will open on May 16, for the 2012 season. The Station is just west of Gerlach, Nev., in the Bureau of Land Management Winnemucca District. Visitors may obtain information about the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area (NCA) at the visitor contact center, which will be open over the weekends from Thursdays through Mondays, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. "The Black Rock Desert is a remote and primitive area," said Cory Roegner, assistant field manager. "The Station is an important stopping off place for visitors to get information that will help them understand and enjoy the area, as well as to become aware of important safety and survival tips." The facility will be open through November and will be staffed by BLM personnel. The Station also houses a fire engine bay, barracks, warehouse/shop, and small administrative office. A BLM fire crew will operate out of the facility from July to September. The Black Rock Station was constructed with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Non-ARRA funds were obtained for interpretive panels, maps, and safety information, as well as information on many of the cultural and natural resources in the area such as wildlife, plants, wilderness, and recreational opportunities. |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs. |

Social Media And Natural Disaster Response [INFOGRAPHIC]
Social media has emerged as a major player in disaster response, with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram having all facilitated rescue and relief efforts during multiple natural disasters.
And with 867,000 people affected each year by these tragic events, it's lucky we have these new connective tools at our disposal.
Rhode Island-based digital agency Creative Signals created an infographic to illustrate the role social media played in three of our most recent natural disasters: the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Sandy.
A few ways people use social media during a natural disaster
- 1 in 5 Americans have used an emergency app
- 18% have retrieved emergency info through Facebook
- 25% send Twitter DMs
- 37% use social media to buy supplies and find shelter

Wrong Logi! It's a collective buff. Just some people will see more benefit than others. Blizzard screwed up and everyone should be dealing more damage.
And btw this is why Minimum Damage bonuses are SOOOOO much better than maximum Damage bonuses. ;) |
We'd like to see a blue post on this ... buff? nerf? leave it alone?
This is a fundamental issue for the game. Wrong Logi! It's a collective buff. Just some people will see more benefit than others. Blizzard screwed up and everyone should be dealing more damage. |
so can they retroactively apply this fix to weps already in the wild?
So now, everybody has to take a decision :)
If you think it's nerf, you should sell your black weapon as soon as possible to buy a elemental weapon :) If you think it's buff, you should sell your elemental weapon to buy a black one. In the both case, we can lost or save a lot of money :) or earn if you have very big balls :) gambling !!!
Edited by Umbrah#2672 on 1/18/2013 11:59 AM PST
they could and might (they did nerf ias) ...
Heu.. nan there is a third solution.
Just waiting, because if the fix affects only new drop and you bought something you will lose :)
Edited by Umbrah#2672 on 1/18/2013 12:05 PM PST
It's just hard to me to see how this could ever be seen as a nerf, when clearly the damage calculation is wrong. We know how it's being calculated and it's clearly not right. Logically, we'd expect this to be the calculation for damage:
*Minimum Damage Range = Minimum Base Weapon Damage + (Minimum Damage) *Maximum Damage Range = Maximum Base Weapon Damage + (Minimum Damage + Maximum Damage) Anything else doesn't make sense, but yet right now it's: *Maximum Damage Range = Minimum Base Weapon Damage + (Minimum Damage + Maximum Damage)
Edited by TekkZero#1963 on 1/18/2013 12:09 PM PST
why doesn't this add up? (min(48) + 260 + 362 )*1.49 = 998.3 my top end is 1000 not 998 or 999 if max base weapon < (Min Base weapon + minimum) then max = (Min Base weapon + minimum)+1 (309 + 362 ) = 999.79 rounds up to 1000 <-- listed on my calamity |
But I never agreed that I would not stop supporting blizzard and never buy their game again... BTW, this issue doesn't really affect me, only my offhand is affected and that would only drop my tDPS by less than 1%, also I've got a really nice pair of Danetta and Calamity, both with more + Max than Min, would worth a lot if they make the change, but you got to stand up for what's right and what's wrong.

It's just hard to me to see how this could ever be seen as a nerf, when clearly the damage calculation is wrong. We know how it's being calculated and it's clearly not right. Logically, we'd expect this to be the calculation for damage: I totaly agree with you, but I will just waiting :) I want to correct something else : If it's a buff, I was totaly wrong when a Isaid that : Posted by TekkZero Because it will affect elemental weapon as well than blackweapon :) the difference between the two kind of weapon is the bonus(WeaponMin+WeaponMax), not the item which is the base :) So if MaxWeaponBase increase the dps of blackweapon, it will increase the dps of the elemental weapon as well :) So manticore will not be useless :) And that can explain little bit more, why we are dropping sh.... item :) If it's a nerf, only blackweapon will lost a lot of value :( because the max bonus on elemental weapon is much more bigger than on black one EDIT : I forgot something else : ExtraDamage So black will be buff, a little bit more si it's a buff, because of the ExtraDamage which is apply on the Maximum Base Weapon Damage :) As tekkzero said.
Edited by Umbrah#2672 on 1/18/2013 12:48 PM PST
Interesting find. Hopefully they fix the calamity so it can stay at that high end dps.
Yeah someone understood me !!! Just so you understand, the bolded part here that you think will be the fix is actually what currently is causing the bug to begin with, and what will be fixed next patch. I already demonstrated that in my posts here. ________________________________________________ Official Mac Tech Support Forum Cookie™ (Mint Chocolate Chip) Guaranteed tasty; Potentially volatile when dipped in General Forums Syrup® Caution: This cookie bites back. |
@Zoid: You're quite correct there's an extra +1 being added. I was simplifying it for people just getting into the discussion. It's actually (Min Base Weapon Damage+1+Min Damage+Max Damage) being used instead of (Max Base Weapon Damage + Min Damage + Max Damage). But I'm trying not to complicate the issue for people struggling to understand what's going wrong.
From a coding perspective the +1 makes 100% sense, since the person coding it just assumed that the Maximum Damage Range should be (Minimum Damage Range + 1 + Max Damage). But that's wrong, as it should be (Maximum Base Damage + Minimum Damage + Maximum Damage). At least this is how I'm understanding the issue. |
What I find odd though is not all items do this and that it may only be affecting items with the min and max damage affix. I checked basic items and they are performing the calculation properly.
Edited by TekkZero#1963 on 1/18/2013 12:56 PM PST
I am not sure, if i understand what you mean :) you want to say you found what was the real issue before me ? It's ok for me :) If it's that I am sorry, i didn't see your post. At the begin, i was on this post : http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/7593743038?page=2 When I came here I just saw few post about the nerf like on the first topic where i was, not about de buff. So I thougth it was better if I keep speaking here about this issue, because here is the general discussion :)
Edited by Umbrah#2672 on 1/18/2013 1:22 PM PST
Nerfing the Calamity would be a......calamity.
when do you guys think this change will get implemented?
But he is right though, maybe not on how it's working now, but on how it should work. o On AH it's explicitly shown that +1 min damage =1 avg damage, and +1max damage = +0.5 avg damage.
Edited by Rognar#1625 on 1/18/2013 1:12 PM PST
If I understand correctly, right now maximum damage is double dipping from the max and min bonuses, except it's doing it using the minimum base instead. So really, we have two problems.
Logically, the max bonus applies only to max base, min bonus applies only to min base. But this will nerf weapon DPS. What I think Trekk and Umbrah are saying is that Blizz should fix it so that maximum damage uses the maximum base AND still keep the same double dipping bonuses. This assumes that having the min bonus applied twice is the intended effect. If that is true, then the same system should be consistent with bonuses seen on amulets and rings, and not just isolated to weapons. If the min bonus is meant to be applied twice, then a ring with [+10 min] and [+10 max] rolls should be equivalent to a ring with [+10 to 20] roll. Is this correct? |
Now I might be more confused,
I understand the min > max then max = min+1 and I understand that the affixes labeled 20-20 on a ruby is in fact 20-40 in function but I can't be certain what is intended weapon Max = (weapon Base max + minimum + maximum)*ed% or weapon Max = (weapon Base max + maximum)*ed% in effect isn't that going to be a server-side calculation only? how could I check the actual damage calculation in the game? isn't the DPS you guys are checking (diablo sites) client based proxy only? and not necessarily what is happening on the back-end?

EU's Lewandowski Sees Need for Jobs Investment, Stuttgarter Says
By Naomi Kresge -
Austerity alone won't be enough to address the euro crisis without "public investment to revitalize the jobs market," Stuttgarter Zeitung quoted Janusz Lewandowski, the European Union budget commissioner, as saying in an interview.
Demand has been created due to cuts to public spending, the newspaper cited Lewandowski as saying in an e-mailed preview of an interview to be published tomorrow.

Floating skulls that still had the eyes in the sockets. But the eyes weren't just dead, they were bright, piercing, and watching like they could see everything at once. They also had long, slithery tongues coming from a void somewhere inside the skull itself. They would float around and some people were caught, and the skulls would choke them with their tongues and then sever the head...
When I was a little kid, about 5 years old, I started having recurring nightmares of a man/creature that I called "the Fraid." The Fraid lived inside my wall and he would smash through and try to kidnap me. Preceding his bashing through my wall would be the sound of his breathing, like someone breathing very deeply in and out through clenched teeth. He would also say nonsensical things that freaked me out for some reason, like, "Tricky branch!"
(My co-worker) was about seven feet tall, grey skin, and muscular. Its left arm was fairly normal, but its right arm terminated in this gigantic bone-spike that had two small spikes protruding from the sides, like three "fingers." Its eyes were yellow but...hollow, somehow. Half the skin of his face was gone, revealing his skull, and on his chest, some of the skin/muscles had sloughed off, revealing his bloody ribcage and a beating heart...
I used to have nightmares of me sitting perpindicular to a flight of stairs and E.T. would slowly walk down them, with his fucking scary head and that weird neck turned toward me and just staring at me as he decended the steps...
I woke up in my bed but the sky was very dark and everything seemed very awkward. I then stepped out of bed and the ground was very juicy, I looked down, and my bed was placed on top of a gigantic hill of dead children.

Southeast Georgia Fishing Report: Dec. 12, 2013
By: Bert Deener, GA DNR Fisheries Biologist
(Deener's reports can also be found in the Waycross Journal Herald on Thursdays)
The rivers fired back up this week with the warming trend. Water temperatures in all rivers in the area rose well into the 60s early this week before the cold. The swamp is fired back up tool. Saltwater was hit-and-miss for most, but should improve with lower tides. Full Moon is Dec. 17. To monitor all the Georgia river levels, visit the USGS website.
Altamaha River – A Waycross angler fishing in the Altamaha Park area of the river over the weekend whacked the crappie. He caught his slabs on minnows. Anglers fishing in the lower Wayne County portion of the river caught some nice bluegills, redbreasts and a huge crappie on Tuesday. They brought home 10 beauties and threw back about the same amount. They used 1/8-oz. black-yellow and crawfish Satilla Spin spinnerbaits to make their catches. Connie at Jaycee Landing Bait and Tackle reported that the crappie were still biting well for both minnow and jig fishermen in the Jesup area, . The river level was 4.8 feet and cresting at the Baxley gage, and 6.7 feet and rising at the Doctortown gage on Dec. 10.
Satilla River – Ed Zmarzly and Justin Bythwood fished the area around the Blackshear Bridge (Hwy 84) on Friday and caught a really nice mess of bluegills, redbreasts and crappie. They caught all of them on Satilla Spins, and the 1/8-oz. version was most effective. They caught a few early on black-yellow, but the crawfish out produced other colors, and they both switched to that color by early afternoon. Their total catch was 30 fish, and the crappie were both about 12 inches, the bluegills were up to 10 inches, and the redbreasts were up to 9 inches long. I took my son Timothy to the Satilla on Monday afternoon for a few hours. We mostly poked around on sandbars, but we did fish about an hour and did pretty well. We ended up with three redbreasts (the biggest, a 9-incher, ate a crawfish 1/8oz. Satilla Spin), three huge bluegills to 10-inches (ate worms fished on bottom), a catfish (on worms), and a 10-inch crappie (ate a black-yellow Satilla Spin). The river was perfect for getting around while the level was around 7 feet this week, and the water was surprisingly clear. Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle in Waycross said that the redbreast bite has been outstanding this week with the warming trend. A panfish bite this good at this time of year is rare, but he said that with the high population due to summer rains, the catches have remained outstanding.
Two anglers from South Carolina fished from canoes in the FFA Camp area of the river on Saturday. They kept 26 redbreasts they said were the biggest they had ever caught. Minnows and jigs have been fooling crappie in all sections of the river. Michael expects the cooler temperatures to slow the redbreast bite but improve the crappie bite. The river level at the Waycross gage was 6.7 feet and falling and at the Atkinson gage was 6.3 feet and falling on Dec. 10.
St. Marys River – Redbreasts were caught on the upper river by anglers pitching crickets. Catfish were caught in the middle river by those fishing worms and shrimp on the bottom. Quite a few crappie were caught by anglers fishing minnows in the slack-water areas. Most of the crappie were on the small side. The river level at the MacClenny gage was 2.7 feet and rising on Dec. 10.
Local Ponds – An angler reported catching a nice mess of crappie on minnows from the Laura Walker State Park Lake. Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle said that other Waycross area ponds have produced some excellent catches of crappie again this week. On the warmer days, lots of bream were also reported. Crickets produced the better bluegill catches.
Okefenokee Swamp – The number of anglers reported has been very low, but those who went did well. Fliers were again the best bite, as is to be expected all winter. Yellow, orange, and pink Okefenokee Swamp Sallies produced the best.
Saltwater (Georgia Coast) – I received several good reports, but overall, the big tides slowed the catching this week. A group fishing Crooked River on Saturday caught a few sheepshead, a ton of yellowtails and about a dozen whiting on shrimp fished on the bottom. Michael Winge reported local anglers catching trout, redfish, and flounder in the Brunswick area. He also said the whiting picked up this week. Mike and Trish Wooten of St. Simons Bait & Tackle said that the number of anglers during the big tides were low this weekend, but there were some sheepshead, trout, and whiting caught from the pier. They said most of the anglers fishing from boats in the creeks around the island reported catching from 6 to 25 trout per boat.
Christmas Gift Ideas for Anglers: Crooked River State Park cabin/guide packages are perfect for the saltwater enthusiasts on your list. The package includes 2 nights lodging in a cottage and a 2 1/2-hour guide trip. Call the park at (912) 882-5256 for more information. High quality coolers are expensive, but they are built well, are tough, and keep ice a LONG time. High quality knives are always a great gift for any sportsman, whether a pocket or a hunting knife. Previous suggestions include: Camping gear (wouldn't a new tent that does not leak be a good investment?) and insulated coveralls. There is nothing like staying warm on a cold day. A quality pair of coveralls will allow you to focus on the fishing and not how cold it is outside.
Southeast Georgia Fishing Report: Dec. 5, 2013
By: Bert Deener, GA DNR Fisheries Biologist
(Deener's reports can also be found in the Waycross Journal Herald on Thursdays)
The winds continued on saltwater, but those who went were rewarded with good catches. The rivers rose and cooled this week, but the warming trend and falling water late this week should fire the fish right back up by the weekend. First quarter moon is Dec. 9. To monitor all the Georgia river levels, visit the USGS website.
Altamaha River – I spoke with a friend who fished the lower Altamaha in the winds this weekend and caught close to a limit of nice crappie. He fished backwaters with minnows to do the damage. With the warming trend, expect the big bluegills and redbreasts that have been eating it up over the last month to be hammering Satilla Spins, worms, and crickets again by this weekend. Connie at Jaycee Landing Bait and Tackle reported that in the Jesup area, the crappie bite has remained strong, and both minnows and jigs have worked well. The river level was 3.6 feet and barely rising at the Baxley gage, and 5.4 feet and falling at the Doctortown gage on Dec. 3.
Satilla River – Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle in Waycross said that the redbreast bite improved with the higher water. The bream bite also improved, with worms producing the most. Beetlespins and Spin Dandy spinnerbaits also worked well for both species. The crappie bite remained strong, with minnows producing the best catches. A few catfish and bass were caught on shiners. The warming trend this week should fire up the fish activity, and the water should be high enough that you can get around in motorboats. The river level on at the Waycross gage was 7.4 feet and falling and at the Atkinson gage was 6.3 feet and falling on Dec. 3.
Local Ponds – Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle said that in Waycross area ponds crappie were again the top species. Anglers reported whacking them on minnows. Some real slabs were reported this week. Bream were also caught on worms. With the warm temperatures late in the week, you should be able to catch fish in both the mornings and afternoons as the light gets low. You will see the tell-tale flip of crappie as they inhale minnows during low light conditions.
Okefenokee Swamp – The number of anglers fell off significantly this week with the cold temperatures. Staff at the state park (west side) reported that the anglers who went did very well on fliers. Orange Okefenokee Swamp Sallies worked best. There were quite a few catfish caught on the west side by those fishing shrimp on the bottom. The flier fishing should be awesome this weekend with the warming trend. Go on a warm afternoon and pitch yellow, pink, or orange Okefenokee Swamp Sallies suspended under a small balsa float. If you are not sure what to use, get an Okefenokee Swamp lure kit from Winge's. I put them together with exactly the same lures that I use when I go into the swamp.
Saltwater (Georgia Coast) – The winds remained strong over the weekend, but several folks braved the elements. Justin Bythwood, Ed Zmarzly, Michael Deen and I fished in the Brunswick area on Saturday. We looked for calm water (very little of it existed), and we caught 25 sheepshead and about a dozen black drum by vertically fishing crabs and shrimp. Several mangrove snapper and yellowtails ended up in the boat, also. Brentz and Alex McGhin headed to Crooked River on Saturday and put it on the sheepshead. They had a couple 3-pounders along with some other smaller convict fish. Mark, Krista, Logan, and Matthew Youmans fished around St. Simons Island on Saturday – trying to duck into protected places. They could not find many calm areas, but they found some nice trout and a 30-inch redfish. Shrimp skewered on a jighead and suspended under a float fooled their fish. Mike and Trish Wooten of St. Simons Bait & Tackle said that sheepshead and whiting provided most of the action this week from the pier. On Sunday, an angler caught 8 sheepshead on fiddler crabs. The fish ranged in size from 3 to 6 pounds. Lots of whiting were caught with shrimp fished on the bottom.
North Georgia Fishing Report: Dec. 4, 2013
Info Provided by: Jeff Durniak, GA DNR North Georgia Region Fisheries Supervisor
EDITED: Quick notice – North Georgia streams are very high due to 2+ inches of rainfall yesterday. It may be several days before they return to wadeable levels. Check the USGS river gauges carefully before making a trip up here and getting into the water. Wading safety = careful thought first (whether to be in the water at all), then a wading belt, a staff, and a buddy. Some stream fans even wear PFD's like the SOS-penders, or fish from the bank.
Our staff has also learned from Georgia Power Company that the Murray Cove boat ramp, which provides public boating access while the lake is drawn down in the winter, is closed for renovations until the new year. This may mean boaters will have to wait a short time to launch again on Burton and hunt its trophy spots and brown trout. The good news is that the Murray Cove ramp should be better once the work is completed. More info on GPC lakes.
Looking for success with reservoir stripers and hybrids? Now's the time! This warm, overcast weather has a lot of fish near the surface early, late and after dark. Lanier anglers Jimmy and Landon hooked three on Monday afternoon (Dec. 2, 2013). They boated two, and left a new fly line with a whopper, which headed down into the trees and on to freedom. Many stripers are aiming for small shad (2 inches), so carry some small lures or flies with you as you follow the diving birds. Night anglers are doing well, too.
Reports for reservoir stripers and hybrids:
Fish slow for some big bass in reservoirs! Check out these reports from Lake Lanier:
Delayed harvest and tailwater trout are also biting well. Watch dam generation schedules and rainfall/runoff to pick fishable locales where the water isn't too high or muddy. USGS stream flow gauges, fishing guides, and local tackle shops are great info sources! Smaller watersheds, like Smith Creek Delayed Harvest Stream, will shed heavy rainfall much faster than large basins such as the Toccoa River Delayed Harvest, and will therefore have many more fishable days. Always have a small stream Plan B ready in case your Plan A gets rained out.
Despite very cold water (39 degrees F), Dredger had a great Saturday afternoon (Nov. 30) on the Chattooga River Delayed Harvest by bottom-rolling apricot egg flies and tungsten beaded hare's-ears along the bottom in riffles and runs. A brook, two browns and a big bunch of rainbows came to hand. The Old Dog thanked young Landon for the recent lesson in Helen on the "French nymphing" technique, which worked well on the Chattooga. Hint: try a dab of Biostrike to save rigging time over the mono "sighter."
Lessons in French nymphing:
Did I mention that Dredger's flies were bumping the bottom?
A good bet for wild trout: Topwater action is unlikely, but dredged nymphs should do well as the waters warm this week. Some of the USGS stream gauges also monitor water temperatures, so you can get a feel for warming trends that may turn on the headwater trout (examples: Hooch in Helen, Chattooga at Burrells Ford). Just subtract a few degrees if you're fishing "way uphill" from the river gauge.
Look at your Georgia trout map and find those year-round streams such as the Tallulah and Charlies, Overflow, the upper Chattooga and Noontootla. Also, Dukes Creek at Smithgall Woods State Park has given up whoppers to camera-toting anglers. See North Georgia Trout Online (NGTO) for their stories and pics. Dukes Creek fishing reservations: 706-878-3087. Hint: try picking up an open slot at Dukes due to a no-show. If none are available, institute Plan B (Smith Creek).
Mentoring Kudos! Shout-out to Trouter 23 for "passing it on!"
Grab a raincoat and take advantage of the warm weather this week!
Southeast Georgia Fishing Report: Nov. 29, 2013
By: Bert Deener, GA DNR Fisheries Biologist
(Deener's reports can also be found in the Waycross Journal Herald on Thursdays)
I hope that each of you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Our family had a non-traditional meal – grilled mahi-mahi. This week's cold weather has slowed the bite some, but it will fire back off when the weather stabilizes over the weekend. Saltwater has been tough to fish because of daily gale force winds! New Moon is Dec. 3. To monitor all the Georgia river levels, visit the USGS website.
Altamaha River – My major professor from the University of Georgia, Dr. Mike VanDenAvyle, came to visit and fish with me late last week. Due to high winds, we avoided the brine and fished the lower Altamaha on Thursday. We flung black-yellow Satilla Spins all day and whacked the panfish – 70 in all. We had 36 bluegills up to a pound (no huge ones, but some good 10 1/2-inchers). We had over a dozen of each species of redbreasts (to 9 inches), bass (to 3-pounds) and spotted sunfish (stumpknockers – to 8 inches). Mike threw the 1/16-oz. version, while I stayed with the 1/8-oz. version. Almost all of our fish were around willow trees, and very few were on blow-down trees. Willows near deep water held the bigger bluegills. We made a day of it, and even threw out a salt block and tried to coax mullet to bite (to no avail). The water temps were 56-59 degrees on my electronics. Some anglers bass fishing the lower river on Saturday used plastic worms and crankbaits and caught 22 bass, with their biggest weighing in at 2 1/2 pounds. Connie at Jaycee Landing Bait and Tackle reported that in the Jesup area, the crappie bite has been "crazy." Minnows worked the best. Some catfish were caught on Saturday along with some big bream (on crickets). The river level was 2.7 feet and rising at the Baxley gage, and 3.8 feet and rising at the Doctortown gage on Nov. 26.
Satilla River – Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle in Waycross said that crappie and bass were caught early in the week before the rains. On Monday, an angler fishing from the bank near the Blackshear Bridge caught 10 slab crappie on minnows. Bass hit topwater plugs fished around blow-down trees. Expect the cold to slow that bite, but jig-n-pigs, crankbaits and plastic worms should still fool them. The river level on at the Waycross gage was 6.3 feet and rising and at the Atkinson gage was 3.6 feet and rising on Nov. 26.
St. Marys River – A few crappie were caught on minnows this week. Bream and catfish were still biting worms pretty well. The river level on was 2.6 feet and rising at the MacClenny gage on Nov. 26.
Local Ponds – Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle said that in Waycross area ponds crappie have been eating minnows well. Green and white mini-jigs fished under a float also caught quite a few. Some bass were caught with shiners, while crickets still fooled bream on warm afternoons before the cold front. After this cold front, afternoons are probably going to be the best times to fish.
Okefenokee Swamp – Before Mike VanDenAvyle left town, we fished the east side for three hours on Friday morning and caught 109 fliers (we only kept about 25 of them) and a warmouth. All of them bit pink or orange Okefenokee Swamp Sallies. It was a little strange that the pink was the best under a float for the first hour, but orange fished without a float was (by far) the best presentation the second hour (both of those times it was extremely cloudy). When the sun popped out for the last hour, the bite slowed, but the pink fly under the float was again the ticket. We fished both the #8 and #10 versions. Most of the fish were 4 to 6 inches, but we had a couple 8-inchers. The flier bite on the west side has remained excellent, with yellow Okefenokee Swamp Sallies producing best.
Saltwater (Georgia Coast) – This wind is getting ridiculous! I've just about lost interest in saltwater this fall because the winds have so rarely been favorable when I could break free (and the river fishing has been so awesome!). Brentz and Alex McGhin headed to Crooked River on Saturday and had a good day. They flung Assassin Sea Shads suspended under Cajun Thunder Floats and landed 17 trout (6 keepers to 15 inches) and a giant 29-inch redfish. That beast was a hoot on light tackle! Their best Sea Shad color was chicken-on-a-chain. Another Waycross angler reported catching 36 trout on jigs on Saturday out of Crooked River. A group of anglers had a bunch of trout and redfish by swimming jigs at the St. Marys Jetties on Saturday. Bull whiting were caught on the beach when weather allowed boats to get to them. Mike and Trish Wooten of St. Simons Bait & Tackle said that trout and sheepshead provided the most action this week, and most were caught on Saturday. Some stone crabs were caught this week, and lots of blue crabs were caught in the Brunswick area.
Mussels Go Fishing
By: Ani Popp, GA DNR Nongame Conservation Section
Did you know freshwater mussels have a parasitic life stage? Larval mussels, called glochidia, attach to fish gills, where they stay until they transform into juveniles. The juvenile mussels then fall off the fish to the river bottom where they spend the rest of their lives—20 to 50 years!
How these glochidia attach to fish gills is a class-act case of trickery. Female mussels have developed several ways to lure fish close enough for the glochidia to be transferred—you could even say that they are fishing! After fertilization, some mussel species will pack glochidia into floating lures that are attached to the female by a mucous strand. These lures float in the water column until a fish attacks, bursting the lure and giving some of the glochidia a chance to attach to the gills. Other species have mantle lures (the mantle is the soft tissue that extends beyond the edge of the shell) that mimic prey, from insects to crayfishes to small fish!
Here, a female Southern Rainbow mussel (Villosa vibex) shows off the glochidia packed into her gills, hoping to attract an unsuspecting fish. She is using her mantle, modified to look like a small fish or clump of worms, as a lure. Can you see the dark black eyespots on the right end of her mantle?
For more information about freshwater mussels, check out the Mussels of Georgia webpage and the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society. Thanks to Matt Hill for the excellent video footage below!
Southeast Georgia Fishing Report: Nov. 21, 2013
By: Bert Deener, GA DNR Fisheries Biologist
(Deener's reports can also be found in the Waycross Journal Herald on Thursdays)
The warming trend over the last week fired off the river fishing, before the current mid-week cold nights. Saltwater fishing has also been good, but the days when the wind would allow boats out have been few lately. Last quarter moon is Nov. 25. To monitor all the Georgia river levels, visit the USGS website.
Altamaha River – My dad, Herb Deener, and I fished an evening this week on the lower river and whacked panfish. We fished the last two hours before dark and moved between blowdown trees, eddies and creek mouths and managed 30 fish (21 bluegills, 8 redbreasts and a shellcracker). Our biggest bluegill was just over 1.25 pounds and just shy of 11 inches. We had some beautiful redbreasts – all over 7 inches, and our shellcracker was just under a pound. All the fish ate 1/16-oz. black/yellow Satilla Spins, except the shellcracker, which ate worms fished on the bottom. What a fun evening!
The water temps were 59 to 60 degrees. With this week's cold weather, I expect the fish to be a little more lethargic and require the 1/8-oz. version to get down to them. I talked to a couple guys who were taking off when we were launching, and they caught nine crappie and a couple bluegills while fishing during the middle of the day. Connie at Jaycee Landing Bait and Tackle reported that big crappie were caught in good numbers in the Jesup area this week. Several anglers caught limits. The river level was 2.4 feet and falling at the Baxley gage, and 3.5 feet and falling at the Doctortown gage on Nov. 19.
Satilla River – A couple of Waycross anglers slowly poked around in a johnboat in the Waycross area of the river this Sunday and caught 40 fish on Satilla Spins. Many were bluegills in the deeper, slower areas, but when they fished the outside bends with current and cover, they whacked some big redbreasts to 8 inches. They caught all of their fish on Satilla Spins, with crawfish being the dominant color. Several ate black/yellow, also. Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle in Waycross said that the river fishing was great again this week. Bream, redbreast, and crappie were reported in the best numbers. Worms and crickets fooled most of the bream and redbreasts. Minnows and John Deere Green jigs have been most productive for crappie. A few bass were reported by anglers fishing shiners. Some catfish were caught by those using worms in the deeper holes. The river level at the Waycross gage was 5.1 feet and cresting and at the Atkinson gage was 3.3 feet and falling on Nov. 19.
Local Ponds – Pat Cullen, legendary trophy bass angler from Valdosta, passed another milestone this week. He landed his 1,300th bass over 10 pounds! Wow, what an accomplishment! He's been chasing trophy bass in the Valdosta area for more than four decades. Brandon and Marion Baker fished the lake at Laura Walker State Park on Sunday and caught some giant warmouth. They were using a Flashy Swimbait head and a Keitech gold flash 3.8-inch swimbait. Brandon also caught a flier on an Okefenokee Swamp Sally.
Michael Winge of Winge's Bait and Tackle reported that lots of crappie were caught from area ponds this week. A few of them were giants. The bream bite slowed, but was still decent.
The state parks Reelin' in the Prizes Fishing Contest ends Dec. 1. For more information, check out their website at http://gastateparks.org/fishingchallenge
Okefenokee Swamp – Not many folks fished on the east side this week. But, the fishing has been great on the west side. Staff reported an angler catching about 50 catfish in the Minnie's Lake area by fishing shrimp on the bottom. The flier bite on the west side has been excellent, with Okefenokee Swamp Sallies producing the most. Some warmouth were reported from the Sill area, as well.
Saltwater (Georgia Coast) – Wind was the story this week. Very few days allowed anglers to venture out in boats. A couple of Waycross anglers fished hard cover in the Brunswick area on Friday and whacked the sheepshead with fiddler crabs. They caught 23 convict fish, a dozen mangrove snapper and several black drum (up to 4 pounds). Another group of four anglers fished the Brunswick area on Saturday and had about 40 keeper sheepshead. Mike and Trish Wooten of St. Simons Bait & Tackle said that sheepshead, trout, whiting and bull reds were caught from the pier this week. Blue crabs are still being caught in big numbers. I know of a person who caught two dozen with cut bait on a rod and reel. You can check the marine forecast at www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/.
Best Bet: With the stable (but windy) weather late this week and into the early weekend, river fishing for redbreasts, bluegill, and shellcrackers should keep up its torrid pace. Expect Satilla Spins to fool them during the heat of the day and worms or crickets to bring them out of cover when they are in a neutral mood. Give it a whirl, as the bite will slow when winter hits. Seatrout fishing should be excellent if the wind will stop. Fling Sea Shads underneath Equalizer or Cajun Thunder Floats and keep moving until you find a school, then stay with them. Of course, live shrimp under a float will also work well on your favorite drop.
The Hunt of a Lifetime
By: Lee Floyd
We had been planning this vacation for months so last Sunday we loaded everything we own (it seemed like that to me) in the truck and my wife, daughter and I headed for deer camp. My son followed us down on Monday. Last Tuesday was his birthday and we all wanted to be together in the woods.
Monday morning my daughter and I headed into the woods at first light. Last year was her first year deer hunting but she didn't get the opportunity to close the deal on her first. Just as we got to the food plot we were going to hunt we got busted by two does. We hunted the morning hunt but didn't see anything else. At least we got to see deer.
Monday evening we were back at the same spot with the same results, busted by the same two does. That's where the bad luck ended and the magic began, and brother it was pure magic. About 5 p.m. a buttonhead came out at the bottom of the foodplot and we sat and watched him graze. A few minutes later a handsome spike came out in the plot to our left and began to graze. Ten minutes later a 6-pointer came out on our right and started to graze.
The buttonhead worked his way up the plot towards us and the spike started moving in his direction. Meanwhile, the 6 pointer is watching all of this while he browses. The spike got froggy and chased the buttonhead out of the middle of the plot and up towards us. The 6-pointer was watching and I could tell he was thinking "What does that guy think he is doing picking on a small fry like that?" He lowered his head and went back to browsing but he started moving towards the spike. I knew what was coming next.
The spike sensed the challenge, stood his ground waiting for the 6-pointer to get there and when he did the spike started sniffing around the 6-pointer's backside. The 6-pointer wheeled around and the tussle began. Finally the 6-pointer dropped the bulldozer blade and started backing the spike up until he had enough and left.
Since Troup County is 4-points or better none of the deer were legal but my daughter got to watch her first fist fight with a ringside seat. She was definitely stoked.
Tuesday morning was my son's birthday and it dawned cool and clear but windy. He decided to hunt behind camp which was a zero prospects hunt because I've only taken two pictures of deer all year long back there. Meanwhile my daughter and I were back on the same foodplot. 10 a.m. came and we decided nothing was happening, so time to head back to camp for some breakfast and a snooze. As soon as we were on the ground we both received a text from my son saying he had one on the ground. We beat a hasty retreat back to camp and out to the foodplot and he was there with a nice 8-pointer on the ground and his proud mom was snapping pictures. It came out of nowhere, worked it's way down the foodplot, and when he finally had a shot he took care of "bidness."
This makes five years in a row he has killed a deer on his birthday or his birthday weekend. Nov. 5 is his lucky day.
That evening I decided to hang in camp with my wife since my daughter wanted to hunt with her brother. Since he had the hot hand it made sense. They hit the woods about 3:30 p.m. and my wife and I enjoyed a lazy fall afternoon together while we rode over to RB's taxidermy in Manchester to get a Euro mount started for my son.
The end of legal hunting time came and went and we hadn't heard a peep out of the two hunters. Finally about 6:45 p.m. we both get a text from my son Matt – "Amanda's deer".
Another 8-pointer on the ground. This one did the same thing. It came out of nowhere off to their right just before last light. Matt put his binocs on it, saw it was legal, looked across at his sister and whispered "that's your deer." From there on in she took care of business like a seasoned deer hunter. She got the crosshairs on him, lined up the shot and waited until she knew she had a kill shot and squeezed off the shot like she had been taught. She described the whole thing to me and I told her "You were in the zone, weren't you Sugar Bear?" She knew immediately what I was talking about. Now she knows what it means because she experienced it.
They got back to camp and the celebration was on. We enjoyed a relaxing evening and a family dinner together in the newly renovated cabin I spent all Summer and all of archery season working on dreaming about this day.
The next day was skinning, quartering and butchering. Amanda's no slacker and she is in it to win it, including the work after the shot. It didn't take much instruction because she's a natural.
I've done a lot of hunting and fishing over the years and have tons of special memories just like everyone else, but this trip takes the cake. The weather was stunningly perfect, the woods were ablaze with Fall colors, the deer were moving, my son got an 8 pointer on his birthday and my daughter got her first deer the same day and we had a relaxing time in the woods and shared the closeness of family all together. It was idyllic magic from start to finish. I don't know how I could ask the Good Lord for more but I am looking forward to the next time we are all together in the woods again. They say if you "talk the magic" you lose it. I'm thinking I can beat the odds on that as long as I'm with my family in the west Georgia woods!

Report: Consolidation Pressures Ad Rates
The battle between seller and buyer is nothing new, but the 1996 Telecom Act shook up the radio industry and gave unprecedented power to the companies that have grown to control the largest shares of listeners, according to a new report.
"Consolidation could be a huge danger," Future of Music Coalition director of economic analysis Peter DiCola tells MediaPost, adding that he believes the hardest hit are the small, local advertisers that are competing with large agencies that often ink cross-market deals with the large radio groups at sharply reduced cost per point. "That's good news for people buying national advertising in bulk in the national marketplace, but not for local advertisers who just care about one market," he says.
DiCola says the radio industry is quickly becoming an oligopoly, or to put it in non-economists speak: a few companies control the industry. "With respect to listenership, the radio industry is now very close to becoming an oligopoly. With respect to revenue, it already is one," he writes in the Coalition's report: "Radio Deregulation: Has It Served Citizens and Musicians," released Monday in Washington, DC. What worries economists and ad buyers alike, says DiCola, is when too few companies control the advertising inventory, is the threat rates could be raised with little whim to what the marketplace supports. "In a competitive market, companies can charge only what the market will bear, where supply meets demand. In an oligopolistic market, companies have more freedom to make their pricing decisions," he writes in the FMC report.
A separate report done by economists working for the Federal Communications Commission found that between the passage of the 1996 Telecom Act and 2001, radio advertising rates increased 68%. While it cites consolidation for a small amount of the increase, it found the overall increase in the health of the advertising medium and of radio pushed prices higher.
"This report has as much credibility as Miss Cleo," responds National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) spokesman Dennis Wharton. The broadcasters' lobby group says the FMC study contains "inaccurate conclusions" about the radio industry. The NAB is not only shooting down its conclusions but the methodology. "It's clear that the questions in the FMC survey were framed in a biased manner. Therefore, this survey has little credibility," says NAB in a point-by-point rebuttal. It also notes several other studies that found consolidation has actually led to a greater number of varying formats. One study, by Bear Stearns, directly links the 1996 Telecom Act to a 7% increase in format diversity.
Radio groups concede their aim is to raise rates, not unlike all other ad sellers. But broadcasters insist their ability to increase CPMs is limited by what ad buyers will go for. Their fear is that if rates get too high, radio's pricing advantage over television will disappear, and so too will the dollars.
Beyond advertising, FMC says statistical evidence shows that although consolidation has increased the number of music formats it has also led to music playlists that are remarkably similar across formats. The report says 76% of the 50 most-played songs on stations labeling themselves as "top 40" also are among the 50 most-played songs on "urban" stations. While acknowledging there has always been a certain amount of crossover, FMC argues the overlap has increased 18% over the past four years. It also charges that the biggest radio groups are limiting choice by airing similarly formatted stations in the same market. For instance, FMC says Clear Channel has 143 stations with similar formats.
Using statistics that show the top four radio groups control 52% of listening, the Coalition is hoping its research will help sway the FCC away from further deregulation in its current review of media ownership rules. When that process is completed next spring, the government may allow radio groups to control a larger portion of the market.

I believe donations will be coming in after the money bomb as Alex mentioned that not $300,000 was donated but on hour 2 of his re-broadcast show he stated over $350,000 had been donated to the infowar! Maybe the reason all of Alex's listeners are wise enough to hold on to a little money hopefully in prescious metals, so as to be able to invest in things that will be needed to fight the "New World Order", in the future!

BOERNE, Texas (AP) A South Texas police officer has been put on administrative leave after being charged with shooting an arrow into a neighbor's cat.
Police in Boerne (BER'-nee) say Officer Lance Deleon was not on duty when the cat named Bobby was wounded. Police Chief Jim Kohler says the cat was shot using a crossbow.
Officials with South Texas Veterinary Specialists say the 2-year-old male cat has been treated for a punctured lung and broken front right leg. Vets say Bobby is expected to recover after being shot Tuesday.
Deleon was charged with animal cruelty and freed Wednesday after posting $2,000 bail.
Deleon has declined comment.
Boerne is 25 miles northwest of San Antonio.
