Agnes Rieger of Kansas City, Mo., was crowned the 2013 champion of The American Legion's 76th High School Oratorical Scholarship Program, "A Constitutional Speech Contest," Sunday morning in Indianapolis. Rieger's winning oration, "Let's Talk About Pennsylvania," earned her first place and an $18,000 scholarship. She was sponsored by Legion Post 95.
"I want to thank Post 95 for sponsoring me from the very beginning," Rieger said. "Everyone in the Legion from the state of Missouri is the most supportive audience you ever even imagine."
Second place went to Elizabeth Scannell of Goose Creek, S.C., who was sponsored by Legion Post 166, and earned a $16,000 scholarship for her oration, "The Constitution: An American Position Description." And third place was awarded to Rachel Schartz of Humboldt, S.D., who was sponsored by Legion Post 62 and earned a $14,000 scholarship for her oration, "Sewing Freedom."
The finalists individually presented their rehearsed eight- to 10-minute oration in front of a large audience filled with family, Legionnaires, the other 50 Oratorical candidates, former National Oratorical champions and a panel of six judges.
Rieger, a 2012 Missouri Girls State alum, had never spoken on the U.S. Constitution before entering the Legion's Oratorical Contest. "I know about our Constitution through my government class, and I always respected it (the Constitution), but I never had such a keen appreciation of what we have, until this competition," she said. "This competition has helped me raise awareness (about the Constitution) and speak to my peers about what I'm doing."
Her oration title was inspired from a history class project in which she and her fellow peers were asked to discuss the Constitution and their obligations as citizens. Instead, "we spoke about how Pennsylvania was misspelled" in the nation's founding document; it is spelled with one "n." This lack of appreciation and knowledge on the Constitution was not only the inspiration for Rieger's oration, but also the reason for her encouraging American's nationwide to study the Constitution because if American's don't now the Constitution, "we leave our government in the hands of others, and we exclude ourselves from developing the future of our great nation," she said.
Preceding the orations, the three finalists presented a three- to five-minute speech on an assigned topic discourse – a phase of the Constitution selected from Articles and Sections. The assigned topic for the championship finals was drawn by American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz and was made known to the audience and each finalist five minutes prior to the time of delivery.
The assigned topic chosen was Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States."
Since its inception in 1937, The American Legion National Oratorical Contest has awarded more than $3 million in scholarships. This year, all 53 contestants who participated in the quarterfinals received a $1,500 scholarship, while the nine contestants who advanced to semifinals received an additional $1,500.
Joseph Caouette, chairman of the Legion's National Americanism Commission, provided remarks of encouragement to the candidates, emphasizing that "you are all champions. You did not lose here. Remember that."

About the designer: Prada
Prada began in 1913 when Mario Prada opened a store selling shoes, leather handbags and trunks. The original Prada suitcase was made with a heavy walrus skin that was impractical for travel. The company decided to create lighter bags and began producing high-quality items featuring crystals, tortoise shell and wood.
Mario Prada, who had forbidden woman from working in his shop, realized that his daughter Luisa Prada, was the best choice for a successor and she took over the company in 1958. When Luisa's daughter, Miuccia inherited the company in 1978, everything began to change.
Miuccia released her first set of backpacks and totes in 1979, created with tough black nylon that her grandfather use to use to cover steamer trunks. This line went on to become her first commercial hit and in 1985 Prada's simple black backpack was at the top of every fashionista's must have list.
In the late 80's Prada's women's ready to wear collection launched with clean lines, basic colors and opulent fabrics that were instantly noticed by the fashion world. The company's success skyrocketed and soon everyone wanted to be wearing Prada During the 90's Prada's unique style made it one of the most influential fashion houses in history and it has been a premium status symbol ever since. Prada's deceptively simple style has a modern take on traditional looks. These designs have become widely influential causing top fashion designers to turn to Prada for their inspiration. Fashionista's around the world crave Prada's cool minimalism and simple,chic style. The brands classic lines and flat fabrics create timeless styles that will be admired for a lifetime. Prada's one-of-a-kind designs are the perfect way to add cutting-edge style with a touch of sophistication to any wardrobe.

amphetamineămfĕt´əmēn [key], any one of a group of drugs that are powerful central nervous system stimulants. Amphetamines have stimulating effects opposite to the effects of depressants such as alcohol, narcotics, and barbiturates. They raise the blood pressure by causing the body to release epinephrine, postpone the need for sleep, and can reverse, partially and temporarily, the effects of fatigue. Amphetamines enhance mental alertness and the ability to concentrate, and also cause wakefulness, euphoria, and talkativeness. Benzedrine is the trade name for the drug amphetamine; dextroamphetamine is marketed as Dexedrine. Methamphetamine, a potent stimulant marketed as Desoxyn, is the most rapidly acting amphetamine. They are available by prescription for limited uses; illegal sources include stolen or diverted supplies or clandestine laboratories.

MSI GeForce GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme edition review -
Content and video processing | 3D Vision Surround
Video processor
Now, we are not going to explain PureVideo all over again but FERMI based graphics cards, thus GeForce series 400/500, have the latest model video processor embedded, which is actually similar to the one used in the GT220/240/ION2 regarding video capabilities. The VP4 engine now also supports MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2) (Divx, Xvid) decoding in hardware as an improvement over the previous VP3 engine such as those used in ION based systems.
In short, NVIDIA can offload the decoding of pretty much any MPEG format, the only thing not supported is MPEG-1 which I doubt anyone still uses.
What is also good to mention is that HDMI audio has finally been solved. The stupid S/PDIF cable to connect a card to an audio codec, to retrieve sound over HDMI is gone. That also entails that NVIDIA is not bound to two channel LPCM or 5.1 channel DD/DTS for audio.
Passing on audio over the PCIe bus brings along enhanced support for multiple formats. So VP4 can now support 8 channel LPCM, lossless format DD+ and 6 channel AAC. Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio bit streaming are not yet supported in software, yet in hardware they are (needs a driver update).
DXVA 1080P videos processed by your GPU
The x.264 format is often a synonym with Matroska MKV, a media file container which often embeds that x.264 content, a much admired container format for media files. Especially the 1920x1080P movies often have some form of h.264 encoding dropped within the x.264 format. As a result, you'll need a very beefy PC with powerful processor to be able to playback such movies, error free without frames dropping and nasty stutters as PowerDVD or other PureVideo HD supporting software by itself will not support it. Any popular file-format (XVID/DIVX/MPEG2/MPEG4/h.264/MKV/VC1/AVC) movie can be played on this little piece of software, without the need to install codecs and filters, and where it can, it will let DXVA enable the playback.
DXVA is short for Direct X Video Acceleration, and as you can tell from those four words alone, it'll try whenever it can to accelerate content over the GPU, offloading the CPU. Which is what we are after.
There's more to this software though:
- A much missed feature with NVIDIA's PureVideo and ATI's UVD is the lack of a very simple yet massively important function, pixel (image) sharpening.
If you watch a movie on a regular monitor, PureVideo playback is great. But if you display the movie on a larger HD TV, you'll quickly wish you could enable little extras like sharpening. I remember the GeForce 7 series having this natively supported from within the Forceware drivers. After GeForce 8 series was released, that feature was stripped away and to date it has to be the most missed HTPC feature ever.
Media Player Classic has yet another advantage, as not only does it try to enable DXVA where possible through the video processor, it can also utilize the shader processors of your graphics cards and use them to post-process content.
A lot of shaders (small pieces of pixel shader code) can be executed within the GPU to enhance the image quality.
Media Player Classic HT edition has this feature built in, you can even select several shaders like image sharpening and de-interlacing... combine them and thus run multiple shaders (enhancement) simultaneously. Fantastic features for high quality content playback. In the screenshot in the upper right corner (click it) you can see MPC HT edition accelerating an x.264 version of Bounty Hunter in 1080P. Thanks to the massive amount of shader cores we can properly post-process and enhance image quality as well, shader based image sharpening (Complex 2) is applied here.
Download Media Player Classic HC (this actually is free public domain software). The GPU is doing all the work, as you can see the h.264 content within the x.264 file container is not even a tiny bit accelerated over the CPU. Read more about this feature right here in this article. You can click on the image to see a full 1080P screenshot.
Folding@Home using the GeForce GPUs
Folding at home is a project where you can have your GPU or CPU (when the PC is not used) help out solving diseases by folding proteins. Over the past 12 months a lot of progress has been made between the two parties involved. And right now there is a beta folding client available that works with GeForce Series 8, 9 and GTX 200 / 400 / 500 graphics processors. It is CUDA based... meaning that all CUDA ready GPUs can start folding.
Guru3D team is ranking in the Folding@Home top 70, yes... I'm very proud of our guys crunching these numbers, especially since there are tens of thousands of other teams.
The client is out, if possible please join team Guru3D and let's fold away some nasty stuff. The good thing is, you won't even notice that it's running.
Our Folding@Home info can be found here:
- Team Guru3D Homepage
- Team Guru3D support forums
- GPU2 -> GPU3 Transition Guide For Windows + Link To Linux
Our team number is 69411 and if you decide to purchase a GeForce GTX 200 / 400 / 500 product, guys, promise me you'll use it to fold for us. Of course I recommend all GeForce 8800 / 9800 owners give this a try as well. By making this move my dear friends, there are now 70 million GPUs available to compute the biggest mysteries in diseases and illnesses. Again, let's make Team Guru3D the biggest one available guys, join our team.
NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround
Along with the Series 400 and 500 GPUs also comes a technology called NVIDIA 3D Surround -- which is supported by their latest GeForce Forceware drivers (download here).
3D Vision Surround allows you to play on three 3D displays simultaneously, and span your entire game across all three panels for a very immersive, rocking 3D environment. Of course, an idea carefully borrowed from ATI (Eyefinity) with the addition of the 3D Stereo part that is. Would ATI not have introduced Eyefinity, then NVIDIA would have never tried to integrate this technology. So who doesn't love competition?
First off, you can also use this Surround technology in 2D mode too -- 3D Stereo with goggles is really not a requirement.
3D Vision Surround was officially launched alongside the GeForce GTX 470/480 release. There is however good news for GeForce GTX 260, 275, 280, 285 and 295 owners. 3D Vision Surround will be supported on that series as well, all you'll need is a driver update, two cards and three monitors. Preferably with a 3D Vision kit of course.
So to recap: 3D Vision Surround offers 3D Vision support spanned across three displays, effectively allowing you to run three 3D displays simultaneously.
We mentioned this a paragraph or two ago already, there is a downside alright. SLI will be a requirement as the cards can only cope with 2 DVI outputs. So yes, two cards set up in SLI are a requirement, making gaming on three monitors definitely an expensive thing to accomplish. But granted, it really is a heck of a lot of fun though.
3D Surround Stereo with three monitors
NVIDIA includes software controls for bezel correction allowing you to compensate for monitor bezel gaps. So to recap once more, NVIDIA 3D Surround is a derivative, much like ATI Eyefinity, which will also work with three monitors; surround vision with the 3D goggles is not a requirement, an SLI setup with series 400 / 500 cards however is.

Ask a Sommelier: What Makes a Great Wine List?
We ask top somms across the country for their wine-related advice.
One of the most important tasks of a wine director is creating and managing a restaurant's wine list. But what sets apart a just-ok list from a great one? How does a wine director go about choosing wines and making a great list? We asked sommeliers from around the country for their thoughts.
"I think a great wine list is one that finds a balance between personality and pair-ability. Do I have a fresh, off-dry white wine to complement a quirky seafood dish? Do I have an earthy, muscular red to pair with a traditional rich lamb dish? Do I have a more opulent white to stand up to a creamy sauce?"—Lulu McAllister (Nopa)
"Breadth and versatility is paramount in building a great wine program, regardless of whether that program is a 20-bottle, all-Spanish list in a tiny tapas place or a 3,000 selection, international list in a Michelin-starred restaurant. If I have ten bottles of white wine to play with, a third of them should probably be fresh and crisp, a third of them should be rich, broad, and toasty, and the rest should fill out the spaces in between (off-dry and high acid, round and fleshy but unoaked, etc.); and then, each category should contain wines in a couple of price points. A great wine director will put as much care and attention into selecting fifty-dollar Muscadet and Cru Beaujolais as they will into buying multi-thousand dollar Bordeaux and Grand Cru Burgundy."—Mia Van De Water (North End Grill)
"How do you go about creating a great wine list? My advice is to have a conversation with every wine drinker, including the people who are less open to trying wines that they're not use to. Also, remember the seasons. Seasonality is not just for food."—Liz Vilardi (Belly, The Blue Room, Central Bottle)
"A great wine list tells stories. Wine is a distillation of history, geography, and passion, and my favorite wine lists say something about how the grapes made it to the glass. Some lists say it with writing, but we're not dining out to read essays, so the more concise the better. Some lists tell stories with their selections or omissions. They reflect a sommelier's beliefs about viticulture and winemaking. But guests have diverse tastes and a good list shouldn't imprison them into only drinking the somm's favorites. Pete Wells called this trend a 'record-store clerk attitude', and I agree that this needs tempering. To me a great list gives you price options. Lists that are too small and cheap can tire out quickly, but if all you see is aged Burgundy above 200 a bottle, there's not much fun to be had either. I've lately seen a lot of hate towards large, comprehensive lists, and I don't get it. There's treasure to be found in there, and vintage depth that a small list can't touch! Frasca's list is brilliant: there's enough depth to splurge, but also enough to find hidden deals. There is vintage depth but it's not a laundry list. I love A16's regional focus and value, and The Boarding House's list for sheer variety."—Jackson Rohrbaugh (Aragona)
"The difference between a good wine list and a great wine list is focus. There should be a purpose to every wine on the list. The first thing that needs to be considered is the food being served. If the wines on the list are good but don't work with the menu then you have kind of missed the point. Once you have wines selected to work with the food, the sommelier should find a way to make the list understandable to everyone. If the list is intimidating and confusing, that can push people into drinking other beverages. Make sure all the information that is needed is displayed so the guest gets what they thought they were ordering. Oh, and make sure there is always Raveneau Chablis on every list. That is a must..."—Eric Railsback (Les Marchands)
"A great wine list must first and foremost complement the chef's food and be a good representation of the style and cuisine of the restaurant. It should have options for many different types of wine drinkers, both in terms of price point and style. It must be presented clearly and so its easy to navigate for the guest. It must feature wines that are craft products and are not made industrially. When all of that is accomplished, it can reach its highest point: a work of passion for a dedicated wine director or sommelier who knows the wines well and loves sharing them with their guests."—Joe Campanale (dell'anima, L'Artusi, Anfora, and L'Apicio)
"The first step in making a great list is talking to the chef about the food. The wine should go with the food. Period. That is the essential. As for specifics: It's imperative to have bubbles on the menu. It's the perfect wine to start any meal and a wonderful thing for special occasions, toasts, and even to make an occasion that was otherwise 'normal' turn into something special."—June Rodil (Qui)
"For me a great wine list is a list that is diverse, exciting, and most of all adventurous. You go out to dinner to explore, to enjoy to have fun and to try something new. I love seeing a list that is made up of smaller great quality producers that are true to their land and with the importance being placed on the quality of the wine and not on the name of the producer or if it is trendy at the moment. Creating a great wine list is kind of like playing matchmaker—you have to think of the personalities of the food and the wine and select the options that can best go together, it's like introducing two friends that have never met before: who is going to play well with whom? I like to look at the key ingredients that the Chef uses. Are the core ingredients based on acid or fat? When working with Josh Even and April Bloomfield, the first question I asked Josh was this: describe your menu to me. He didn't even have to pause and think. Immediately, he said, "Well, I start with great salt, oilve oil, lemon, capers or anchovy—that umami thing... then add ingredients." This tells me a lot. This gives me clues to the types of wines that will pair most interestingly with the dishes. Wines with acidity, freshness, salinity, mineral qualities and most importantly—structure. [A great wine list is] not about what the sommelier prefers to drink, or whether the wine received a billion points... it is about listening to what your guest enjoys and providing them with the best options available, all while keeping it fun and enjoyable."—Ceri Smith (Biondivino and Tosca)

So as not to bury the lede--I'll be signing at Forbidden Planet on Friday at 6 pm for an hour! Come visit! (Special boyfriend guest star is likely to be in attendance too.)
But for now, wandering around London, with and without scott_lynch. We've been signing books every possible place, and Scott has been doing a bunch of interviews. He and Pat Rothfuss had a completely amazing signing at Forbidden Planet last night--over three hundred people showed up--and then there was pub time afterwards.
Today was mostly a day off to recuperate. Here's the last rose of summer, in Hyde Park, from a rainy eight-mile walk we took today:
Except really not summer at all anymore.
We also went to the Victoria and Albert Museum, which lives up to its reputation as England's attic--but a delightful attic, and spend a very few minutes in the Museum of Natural History petting rocks. (I am an inveterate and shameless rock-petter.)
Here's the establishing shot for the misty, rainy movie of our lives in London:
And here's a pretty half-timbered pub that I mean to have a pint in before we go:
Here's the RIDE/DON'T RIDE signal, for the horseborne:
Sushi clock at Tokyo Diner, where we had dinner last night:
And here's a swan actually doing the swan-boat thing with its wings.
And here's what I had for lunch yesterday in Chinatown:
(Roasted duck ramen. YUM.)
Tonight, we went to see Thor: the Dark World. Man, the UK has too damned many commercials before movies. HALF AN HOUR, I shit you not. The movie, however, was good cheesy well-paced fun, once they sensibly gave up on pretending it was supposed to make sense and explaining everything.
Stay through ALL the credits. I'm already writing fanfic for the very VERY last scene in my heart.

Crain awaiting results of MRI on strained calf
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Astros relief pitcher Jesse Crain was awaiting MRI results after suffering a strained right calf in the weight room Tuesday.
Crain, who expected to miss the start of the season while recuperating from arm surgery performed in October, said he was stepping onto a box during a workout and felt something strange in his calf. The results of the MRI are expected Thursday.
"It went without warning or anything," said Crain, who's wearing a protective boot on his foot. "It felt like I got hit by a ball. I thought someone threw something at me at first. I realized it was my calf. Hopefully, it was just a strain, but we'll see what the doctor says tomorrow."
Minor Spring Training muscle injuries are nothing new to Crain, who had a groin strain and oblique strain last spring. Crain has yet to throw off the mound and is recovering from biceps tendon surgery.
"Obviously, at this point, I don't want it to happen, but it's nothing I'm worried about," he said. "We're going to dictate our throwing program around it. Today, I threw off a knee. We're able to still get work in, so I'm not losing any ground in that sense.
"I always say things happen for a reason, and hopefully this will be something that doesn't cause me to rush back. I don't know what the prognosis is going to be. As long as I can get some throwing in, it won't set me back at all."
Crain was an All-Star in 2013, posting a 0.74 ERA in 38 games with the White Sox, striking out 46 and walking only 11 in 36 2/3 innings -- including a 29-inning scoreless streak. He didn't pitch after being traded to the Rays on July 29 because of the injury.
"He came in feeling better this morning," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "It was sore, so we're going to modify his throwing program a little bit in light of that. We'll know more information the next couple of days, but that will be some sort of setback. We'll continue to try and get him to work on his arm strength, but we'll keep the calf injury in mind."

Ideas on the Doorstep
You can't cut your way to prosperity. It's a common saying in business circles, particularly in the mailing industry. The U.S. Postal Service has done a good job cutting costs, yet still needs to grow revenue with new products and services.
Indeed, recent reports suggest a sure way for a post to boost revenue is by offering customers a range of innovative products, such as parcels, logistics, banking, insurance, and digital services. Many of our papers have encouraged the Postal Service to explore these kinds of revenue-generating products and services.

On the first day of school at the Centre of Science and Technology (COSAT), in January, I asked some students whom I should interview. They led me straight to a boy who was leaning against a brick wall. He was small but had an air of confidence.
Sivenathi – Sive (see-vay), for short – was clearly well respected at school. He had just been selected for a prestigious leadership program and was about to travel to Colorado and Washington, D.C. He was thrilled about the opportunity.
"I'm a little bit nervous, but actually I'm excited," he said.
A few weeks later, I met with Sive again. I was curious to learn more about his family.
He said he came from a difficult background. "Most of my family is uneducated. My mom's HIV-positive, and I don't have a father."
His father died six years ago and had never been involved in Sive's life. His mother, he said, suffers from a serious mental illness that makes her unable to work. One older brother isn't around, and the other isn't very responsible. So Sive has basically been taking care of his family – and their home – for years.
He said his upcoming trip to the US would be a great learning opportunity – and a welcome respite.
"The United States trip will be like a vacation to me," he said.
Lessons Learned Abroad
After Sive returned from the US, I sat down with him at his home – a three-room cement house in a low-income area outside Cape Town.
He showed me pictures from his trip on a computer screen – photos of the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, even his hotel room. It was the first time he had stayed in a hotel.
"I slept in a big bed, big soft bed, [with a] TV, everything," he said.
Sive participated in workshops with other young African leaders, and he met all sorts of Americans – including some elderly African American men. They told the group about their childhoods and what it was like to be an African American during the civil rights era.
Sive said the trip transformed him. He now dreams of being a doctor or ending global warming – maybe both. And he wants to work with people from different cultures.
Difficult Homecoming
Just a few days after he got back from the United States, while still riding a high from the trip, Sive's life took a sudden turn.
His mother's health was getting worse. Doctors discovered that she was anemic and had a wide range of other problems. Sive checked his mom into the hospital and visited her regularly.
Then, two weeks ago, he got a phone call. His mother had passed away.
I met up with Sive at a place he goes to cope with his stress. It's a sandy ridge at the edge of his neighborhood, where garbage is tangled in clumps of wild grass. From a certain spot, he can glimpse the ocean.
Sive said he was probably the last person to see his mother alive, because other relatives rarely visited her in the hospital. He said her death meant he would never achieve one of his lifelong dreams.
"I always had a dream that I [would] be the one take my mom out of this suffering," he said. "My latest dream is that I wanted to take my mom to the US."
He said his mother's death has made him even more determined to get a good education and achieve his dreams – and to get out of his impoverished community.
"I want to live a good life. I don't want to live the life that my mom lived – to suffer. Right now, I just want to pass my exams."
His high school was having midterms – and he had chosen not to defer them. But at the moment, he couldn't study. He had to deal with the logistics of life and death.
Dealing With Change
Sive headed to a corner store. He walked along a gravel road, past rows of matching houses and children playing soccer.
With his mother gone, Sive said his 19-year-old brother should become the family head. But Sive said his brother isn't very responsible, so Sive expects to be the one making decisions – if his brother doesn't change.
At the store, Sive bought a loaf of bread. I asked how he and his brother are going to get by, financially.
"We don't have money," he said. "We are so broke."
His mother had been getting a disability grant from the government – about $120 a month. Now that money will stop coming in. Money from her life insurance is going toward her funeral.
So, for now, Sive's only income is a small child welfare grant and some cash he makes working at a bakery on Saturdays.
Back at the house, Sive's brother was painting the living room. He said he wanted it to look good for when people came to pay their respects. Neighbors and friends were stopping by each night during the week.
Standing on his front step, Sive said all this cleaning and hosting was taking up a lot of his time – and so was another obligation.
"There are people that don't know yet about my mom, so I have to go and tell people that my mom passed away," he said.
He'd have to go around the township on foot – because none of the people he was contacting use email, and he didn't have their phone numbers.
With so much to do, and so much change happening, Sive was incredibly stressed. He didn't know when he'd have time to prepare for his exams.
Back inside, he picked up a brush and helped his brother paint.
A few hours later, people began showing up at his house. More than forty packed into the tiny living room and spilled out onto the road. A preacher delivered a passionate sermon, and the crowd sang hymns.
A few days later, Sive would travel with his relatives – and his mother's body – on a 12-hour journey to the family's ancestral land. His mother would be buried there.
But on this night, after people paid their respects and headed home, once Sive was alone in the house, he grabbed his school notebook and checked his midterm exam schedule.
Then, he sat down on his sagging metal bed and began to study.

Warriors star Sam Tomkins has been fined by police and his NRL club after being caught urinating in public on the Gold Coast.
The England fullback was issued with an on-the-spot $100 ticket by police over the incident in Broadbeach early on Sunday following his side's 24-16 win over Gold Coast the previous night.
The Warriors said they were made aware of the incident on Monday and slapped Tomkins with an additional $NZ2000 ($A1862) fine.
"I'm disappointed in myself," said 25-year-old Tomkins in a club statement on Tuesday.
"I thought I was in a secluded spot but realise I still made a poor decision."
Warriors general manager Dean Bell said the club accepted Tomkins' admission that he made an error in judgement.
"He knows this kind of behaviour is unacceptable," Bell said.
Tomkins left the English Super League to join the Warriors this season and, despite a slow start, has started to show the sort of form that made him a superstar in his home country.
He isn't the first Warrior to be disciplined for urinating in public.
Former player Russell Packer was fined $15,000 for his infamous on-field leak at Suncorp Stadium in June last year.
Earlier this month the club fined bullocking centre Konrad Hurrell $5000 after a sex video featuring him was leaked onto the internet.

MILWAUKEE, July 8 (UPI) -- Singer John Mayer dedicated his love song "A Face to Call Home" to his pop-star girlfriend Katy Perry at a weekend concert in Milwaukee, Wis.
Rolling Stone magazine said Perry was in the audience for the opening night of Mayer's "Born and Raised World Tour" during which he said he was singing the ballad for "Katy, who is my face to call home."
Mayer also publicly thanked Perry for helping him deal with vocal chord problems that left him unable to sing for about 20 months.
"She was so patient," he told the audience.
Mayer said despite his health issues Perry took the time "to continue to get to know me and love me."
The couple began dating last August but have broken up several times, most recently in March, People.com said. They recently reconciled.

One of the most troubling problems with marine, and especially marine reef, keeping, is the vast majority of fish, invertebrates, live rock and live sand are taken directly from the reefs of the world, which are already under intense pressure from pollution, commercial net fishing, climate change, and other human activity.
Freshwater keepers have it good, since at least 90 percent of the fish, plants and invertebrates available are commercially raised. Marine keepers, on the other hand, rely on the ocean's reefs for their livestock, with only a small percentage (under 20 percent) captive raised or farmed. This ethically bothers many keepers, myself included, considering the sad shape of the reefs of the world.
Hard (small polyp stoney) corals in the Caribbean have declined by over 80 percent, from roughly 50 percent prevalence to currently less than 10 percent, over the last 30 years. The sharpest decline occurred in the 1980's, but continues to this day. Research indicates agricultural run-off raised the nutrient levels in the formerly pristine waters, causing the near local extinction of the herbivorous sea urchin Diadema antillarum, enabling algae, which thrives in the nutrient-rich conditions, to smother corals. Whole reefs have been denuded of hard corals and are now covered with thick green algae, with nothing to eat it. Though the decline has slowed since the massive die-off of the 1980's, it continues to decimate corals, which will lead eventually to the extinction of coral species specific only to the region.
As I write this efforts are underway to propagate those corals in protected areas to preserve said species.
Live rock and sand mariculture is a nascent industry in Indonesia, where most of the rock and sand for our tanks comes from. The vast majority is taken directly from the reefs, with blasting used to break up the rock by unscrupulous collectors. Live rock and sand mariculture is far more developed in the waters of the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast of Florida. The plus with such rock and sand is they are teeming with life, including corals, small fish, and many other kinds of creatures only found in the region. The minus is maricultured live rock and sand is many times more expensive than dried out rock blasted from an Indonesian reef, because of the cost of development and the weight of the rock, which is far more dense than that from Indonesia.
A handful of marine fish are captive raised, simply because the vast majority of marine fish go through an extended larval period in the planktonic raft that floats near the top of the water, before metamorphoses from larvae to fish and settling into the reef. The larvae consume different foods at each stage of growth, meaning most marine fish are wild caught. Though in the past many reef fish were caught using Cyanide, that practice has been almost eliminated, as it's highly illegal. Locals now have a financial largesse using diving gear and hand nets to capture fish.
The movie 'Finding Nemo' drove the commercial breeding of clown fish (Pomacentridae family), and the methodology is such that all commonly available clown fish can be home bred, and a book is available if one wants to try their hand at breeding clown fish. The pelagic stage is a week with clown fish, and the larvae are large enough to take marine Rotifers, which are easily home cultured. The tang species in the movie, unfortunately, is still wild caught, as are all surgeon fish, because of their extended pelagic stages. It will take years, perhaps a decade or more, for science to determine which foods the larvae need at each stage of development before captive-raised examples become available.
Other marines fish now available captive raised include some gobies, blennies, all sea horses, the mouth-brooding cardinalfishes, some dwarf angelfish, and several dottybacks, with more species becoming available regularly once foods are determined for the larvae for each stage of development. Obviously, the fish with shorter pelagic stages are the ones most likely to become available captive raised. I have hopes that beauties like Moorish Idols (Zanclus cornutus) and other rare and beautiful marine fish will someday be captive-raised.
A growing number of captive-raised corals and other invertebrates are becoming more and more available both in shops and online. One of the great successes are the giant clams (Tridacninae family), which are farmed by the millions in Asia, primarily in Japan, which views the clams as a delicacy. Because of the sharp decline of giant clams taken from Japanese waters for human consumption, a methodology was developed to captive raise the clams. Though the method is still top secret, the benefit is that of the marine reef keeper, who can, in good conscience, keep giant clam species in their tank.
Corals, too, are available commercially farmed. Currently, the small polyp stoney (SPS) and large polyp stoney (LPS) corals are available, as fragments taken from a large 'mother' corals glued to a ceramic plug. As the corals are branched, it is easy to secure captive-raised SPS corals. Soft corals, particularly polyp corals like sea mats, are available captive raised in a dazzling variety of colors, and more large polyp stoney corals are available captive raised every day.
Ethically, stocking one's marine or marine tank with captive and commercially farmed livestock, live rock and sand is, at least to me, far more preferable than the alternative of that ripped from reefs already under great stress. Though the variety of captive-raised fish are small, corals, clams, live rock and sand are easily found captive produced. One can completely stock his or her tank these days with aqua and maricultured items.

In an Upper Room
1. They sat at meat, their souls in pain,
The Lord was dead, the Lord was slain:
They'd seen him on the cross of doom;
His body lay in Joseph's tomb.
Then by the board he stood once more:
He lives, he lives, now as before!
He ate, then drank;
They saw, then felt,
As at his feet in awe they knelt.
2. A calm command to Thomas came:
"Feel thou my hands, they are the same
As when I hung upon a tree,
And suffered death for all and thee."
To him he said, in solemn tones:
"My body feel, 'tis flesh and bones."
Our souls cry out:
"Bow 'neath his rod;
Acclaim him Savior, Lord and God."

Why is molecular testing important?
Proper molecular testing is critical for Africa, where most patients are treatment naïve. Therefore, they will have a positive response to inexpensive, first-line therapy. If therapy is not managed with adequate testing, patients' HIV will develop resistance quickly – a complication for an already dire situation.

New school snack rules nearly ready after year-long delay
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After more than a year's delay, American schools will soon see new U.S. government rules targeting the kinds of snacks sold to students, a move nutritionists say could play an important role in fighting childhood obesity.
Anxious schools have waited more than a year to find out how sales of potato chips, candy bars, sodas and similar treats to students will be restricted. These rules on food sold outside traditional cafeteria meals are a key part of the first major overhaul on school food in more than three decades.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently told Reuters that the rules on what snacks may be offered in vending machines, school stores and the like, originally due in late 2011, are expected to be finished in the early part of this year.
Officially, USDA said it expects the proposal by April, at which point a 60-day public comment period would kick in before final rules are issued - potentially for the next school year.
Vilsack said the delay was in part to give food and drink manufacturers, as well as schools, time to adjust to a revamp of cafeteria breakfasts and lunches in early 2012.
Those earlier sweeping changes, dictating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables on school menus, led to a few complaints and some hungry children. USDA later gave schools more flexibility on the new menus.
"The whole idea is that they eat more fruits and vegetables ... that's not going to happen overnight," said Gail Koutroubas, who oversees food services for the public school district in Andover, Mass., near Boston.
The school nutrition overhaul seeks to make a dent in the nation's obesity epidemic at a time when government statistics show more than one-third of those younger than 18 are too heavy.
Health advocates want the snack changes to include smaller portions, reduced fat and less sugar. Acceptable drinks for most students would include low- or no-fat milks, 100 percent juices and water.
"We're not saying get rid of the vending machines. Just change what's in them," said Margo Wootan, head of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group. "We, as parents, don't want our kids eating candy bars and Gatorade for lunch."
Recent USDA data shows most U.S. public schools sell snacks in some way, but access to vending machines varies.
Machines are in just 13 percent of elementary schools for young children, but are in 67 percent of middle schools, where students are around 11 to 14 years old, and 85 percent of high schools, USDA said in December.
USDA also found more than 80 percent of school districts have either restricted or banned sugary drinks. More than 75 percent also have some kind of limit or ban on snack foods.
Tops on the list of concerns are drinks, particularly high-calorie, sugar-sweetened beverages such as sodas and sports drinks that are popular among youth but cited by public health experts as empty calories with no nutritional benefit.
"The beverage industry from our perspective has been very cooperative. They understand and appreciate there has to be a different approach in terms of what's available in vending machines," Vilsack said.
Representatives from Coke and other drink makers met with White House and USDA staff last June to present industry-funded data on their voluntary effort in schools, according to one representative at the meeting.
The American Beverage Association said it wants USDA's snack rules to match the industry lobbying group's 2005 pledge to limit certain lower calorie sodas and sports drinks to mostly older students.
Cranberry growers also are pushing to allow sugar-sweetened cranberry juices, saying their fruits are too tart otherwise. Pizza companies are also seeking some exemptions.
Some health experts worry that the food and beverage industries' lobbying power will dilute the new nutrition law. They are also concerned that the delay signals a more cautious approach from the Obama administration.
Overall, food and beverage companies and groups spent more than $26 million in lobbying on a variety of issues over the last year, led by Coke and Pepsi, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"We're very concerned," said Maya Rockeymoore, head of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation program targeting childhood obesity. "Certainly sugar-sweetened beverages ... need to be completely eliminated from the equation."
Many states and schools have plowed ahead with their own standards rather than wait for USDA. About half of all U.S. states have already passed laws addressing snack items, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Money can also be an issue, since snack foods sales are often profit centers for schools, sports teams and other groups, especially given the current tight school budgets.
Advocates say the changes are necessary to help stave off a health crisis that impacts students' academic performance and even national security.
Vilsack says he has a personal stake in the issue, recalling how he was taunted as a "fatso" growing up on Pennsylvania.
"I've struggled with my weight all my life, and it's not an easy thing to deal with," Vilsack told Reuters. "And if you're dealing with it, you're dealing with a lot of consequences of feeling badly about yourself."

Commemorations for Amshir 28
On this day St. Theodore (Theodoros), the Roman, was martyred. He was from the City of Astir (Peshotep) during the reign of the Emperors Maximianus and Diocletian. When they were informed that the saint did not adore their idols, they brought him and asked him to worship the idols but he refused.
They promised him precious gifts but he did not hearken to them. They tortured him by pressing his body in the Hinbazeen, and hacking parts of his body. He was burned with fire and beat him with whips. He endured all that because of his love for the Lord Christ Who sent His angels to comfort and strengthen him. Finally he was beheaded and received the crown of martyrdom.
His prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.

Additional Information
Statements about medicinal use of plants have not been evaluated by the FDA, and should not be used for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of any ailment. Before using or ingesting any medicinal plant, consult a healthcare practitioner familiar with botanical medicine.
About medicinal herbs: Archeological evidence dates the medicinal use of herbs back 60,000 years to the Neandertals. 85% of the world's population employ herbs as medicines, and 40% of pharmaceuticals in the U.S. contain plant-derived materials. Fewer than 10% of higher plant species have been investigated for their medicinal components. Interest in traditional herbal remedies continues to grow.
Herb culture: To substitute fresh herbs for dried in cooking, use triple the dried quantity called for in a recipe.
Drying herbs at home is not difficult. Whole leaves retain their flavor at least a year.
Some herbs are customarily grown from divisions because they cannot come true from seed, such as scented thymes and flavored mints. Some require fall sowing of fresh seed, such as sweet cicely and angelica, and these become available in August or September.
Takinagawa Burdock and Resina Calendula, as well as oats, mammoth red clover and alfalfa in the Farm Seed section, also have medicinal uses. Medicinal herbs such as black cohosh and goldenseal are available as plants, and shipped with Trees in the spring.

In December last year I was working at MPC in London on Clash of the Titans. I had some spare time in the evenings. One day, after seeing this clip from CSI, I was seized by a strange compulsion to collect every example of cheesy tv and film image enhancement I could find and edit them into a short video.
I started by asking for examples on ask.metafilter.com and the first answer, a link to the Enhance button page on tvtropes.org, was probably the most useful resource. I also used various torrent, subtitle and transcript sites. I spent a few weeks downloading and editing, and managed to get it done before the Christmas break. My brother Joel did some great music in Garage Band which I re-cut the video to. After uploading to YouTube I posted it to my tumblr, b3ta and waxy's amazing supercuts page (to which I'd previously contributed "My Arse!").

Gwyneth Paltrow has reached the point where she could not care less what her detractors think of her – a defiance she punctuates with expletives several times in a frank new interview.
"The older I get, I realize it doesn't matter what people who don't know you think. It doesn't matter. You're wasting your energy," PEOPLE's 2013 Most Beautiful Woman tells the British magazine Red's December issue.
"It's like, if your partner comes to you – or your best friend – and says, 'Listen, I want to talk about something you did that hurt me, or I think you could improve,' sit down and listen to what they have to say. But some friend of so-and–sos – it's like, who gives a s---?"
The Oscar winner's comments come in the wake of reports that Vanity Fair is preparing to publish an unflattering profile of the actress.
It's just gossip, says Paltrow, 41. "That's why I really don't read anything," she tells Red. "If it's important, it filters down to me."
Paltrow also hits out at women who judge other women. "Nobody else can tell [a woman] how many hours a week she needs to devote to this, that or the other … F--- what anybody else says … It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. That's what we've got to let go of. That idea of 'Oh god, if I don't show up to this concert, all the other mums are going to think I'm terrible.' Well, so f---ing what."
The actress says she gives everything to her kids when she's with them, and everything to her career when she's not.
"That's my work/life balance," she says. "I've made it work for me, but it doesn't matter what my specific thing is … It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It matters what you think of yourself. And what your children think … So if anyone is going to ask my advice, I'd say, do what is right for you, and don't give a s--- what anyone else thinks."
More Kids?
Asked if she might have more children with husband Chris Martin, the mother of two – Apple, 9, and Moses, 7 – says it's pretty unlikely, partly because she's getting her baby fix with her brother's new infant.
Also, she adds, "I'm feeling at such a comfortable point in my life right now, like I'm starting another chapter. Like today I was sitting in the bathroom with Moses, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm so glad he can wipe his own ass.' I'm so glad I don't have to do that any more. I don't know if I could go all the way back."
And speaking of kids, Paltrow says she planning on taking them back to live in London after her current stay in Los Angeles.
"I don't want [Apple and Moses] to be teenagers in LA. No way," she says. "I'm looking at this like two years, three years tops, then we will go back. It's part of my parenting philosophy that children should get the opportunity to reinvent themselves at a few points in their childhood to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie and to experience living in different cultures … It's an experiment. We'll see."
The full interview appears in the December issue of Red, on sale Nov. 6, guest edited by Paltrow and her team at goop.com – also available in a digital edition on Apple Newsstand.

Before It's too Late: Take a Hunter or Bowhunter Education Course This Summer in New Hampshire
OutdoorHub 06.26.12
Summer is a great time to get in a Hunter or Bowhunter Education course in time for the fall hunting seasons. Log onto the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department website today to sign up for a Hunter or Bowhunter Education course!
"Summer is the best time to take any of the Hunter Education courses, because the demand is lower and availability is higher," explained Fish and Game Hunter Education Coordinator Josh Mackay.
To register, visit http://www.huntnh.com/Hunting/hunter_ed.htm. Under "Find a Class," click on the link for traditional hunter education, online hunter education or traditional bowhunter education courses. Scroll down and use the handy calendar search engine to find classes using your zip code, and scrolling the calendar. Once you find a class, simply click on the event to preview all the details about the course, and to register. Once you've successfully registered, you will receive a confirmation email with your account information and a copy of the course registration page. If you have any trouble registering for a hunter or bowhunter education course using the online system, call the Hunter Education office at 603-271-3214.
Who should sign up for hunter education? All new hunters, and hunters without a previous hunting license, must take a hunter education course (those age 16 or older need a license to hunt; youth are encouraged to take hunter education between the age of 12 and their 16th birthday). To meet this requirement, Fish and Game offers Hunter and Bowhunter Education classes around the state, as well as Trapper Education. To receive a certificate of completion, participants in these programs must be 12 years old by the end of the course. Courses are available from February through October, but they fill up fast, so don't delay!
"Because of its ever-increasing popularity, just taking the online class does not guarantee a field day will be immediately available," cautioned Mackay. "Once you complete the online course, it is best to immediately register for the next field day. And don't wait until September to complete the online course, or it will most likely be too late; the field days for September and October are often filled at that point."
If you miss your chance to complete a Hunter Class in time for hunting season, keep in mind the option of getting an Apprentice Hunting License, with which you could hunt accompanied by a licensed hunter age 18 or older. Learn more at http://www.wildnh.com/Hunting/apprentice.html.
In 2011, more than 500 trained volunteer Hunter Education instructors taught 107 traditional Hunter and Bowhunter Education courses, plus 16 field days for students who completed their studies online. The program certified 3,423 new hunters.
