Alex Gordon Rumors
Royals To Make Major Announcement
The Royals will make a major announcement concerning the contract status of one of their players in 40 minutes, the team announced. GM Dayton Moore and manager Ned Yost will attend the press conference.
Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer are among the extension candidates on the Royals' roster. Yahoo's Jeff Passan hears the deal isn't for Gordon (Twitter links). Yahoo's Tim Brown hears no Hosmer deal is imminent (Twitter link). Roy Oswalt is not signing with the Royals today, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports (Twitter link).

Central Links: Gordon, Molina, Astros, Braun
Seven years ago today, the Cubs traded Kyle Farnsworth to the Tigers for Scott Moore, Roberto Novoa, and Bo Flowers. Farnsworth spent half-a-season in Detroit before being traded to the Braves at the deadline. Here's the latest on baseball's two central divisions…
- Alex Gordon told Rustin Dodd of The Kansas City Star that he and his agent wanted to work out a one-year deal for 2012 before discussing a longer contract (Twitter link). He also confirmed that the Royals have offered him a long-term deal. Gordon avoided arbitration with a one-year pact earlier today.
- "I love the city. I love the fans, I love the park. But it's out of my hands," said Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when asked about a new contract (Twitter links). "Whatever they like to do is how it is … They let Albert [Pujols] go. It's business for the team, too. It's out of my hands." Molina can become a free agent after the season.
- "We're very active in terms of looking at transactions that are happening out there," said Astros GM Jeff Luhnow to Examiner.com's Stephen Goff. "Right now, most of the free agents have signed. Roy Oswalt is probably the last guy out there. We've got our fingers in everything. Are we actively looking to move a player or sign somebody at this point? No. We have got 61 guys coming to camp. From that group of 61, we believe we can get a real good 25-man roster to start the season."
- Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter) that the arbitrator in Ryan Braun's case won't be limited to the usual 25-day window, so a decision isn't necessarily expected by this Sunday. The Brewers slugger is appealing his failed banned substance test.

Royals Avoid Arbitration With Alex Gordon
The Royals and Alex Gordon have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract, the team announced. Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star reports that the deal is worth $4.775MM while Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com says he can earn another $25K in bonuses (Twitter links). Gordon is represented by Casey Close.
As our Arbitration Tracker shows, Gordon filed for $5.45MM while the team countered with $4.15MM, so they settled just below the midpoint in terms of guaranteed money. The two sides are said to be exploring a long-term contract, but for now they've only addressed the upcoming season. Gordon can become a free agent after 2013. All of Kansas City's arbitration-eligible players are now under contract for 2012.
Gordon, who will turn 28 tomorrow, enjoyed a long-awaited breakout season in 2011, hitting .303/.376/.502 with 23 homers and 17 steals. He earned his first All-Star selection and drew some MVP votes as well, which is what the Royals hope he'll do on an annual basis after making him the second overall pick in the 2005 draft.

Comparing Cruz, Jones, Gordon In Arbitration
Arbitration eligible outfielders Nelson Cruz, Adam Jones, and Alex Gordon all remain unsigned. As outfielders with at least four years of big league service and less than five, their cases are tied together. Let's take a closer look.
Cruz and Jones submitted near-identical salaries of $7.5MM and $7.4MM, respectively. The Orioles value Jones less than the Rangers value Cruz, submitting a figure $500K below Cruz's $5.5MM. It's no coincidence MLB scheduled the players' arbitration hearings for the same day, as that way a win by one can't benefit another. Should one of the two reach an agreement soon, the salary figure might be kept under wraps until the other's is determined. Gordon's hearing is scheduled one day earlier, but they're reportedly close to an agreement. The Cruz-Jones argument can be tailored either way — Cruz has more career power, but Jones is more durable and plays a premium position.
Gordon is valued below Cruz and Jones by all parties, as he submitted $5.45MM and the Royals $4.15MM. All things considered Gordon had the best platform year, topping Cruz and Jones easily in batting average, on-base percentage, runs, and stolen bases while posting similar home run and RBI totals. He's further boosted by a Gold Glove, so one separator here has to be the players' career numbers and related previous year earnings. Though Gordon wins in career OBP, his home run and RBI totals lag well behind the other two players.
Looking at past precedent, how strong are the cases of Cruz, Jones, and Gordon?
- Cruz wants a $3.85MM raise, while the Rangers are trying for the same $1.85MM one Carlos Quentin received after the 2010 season. Using Quentin's numbers through 2010, Cruz has better career numbers and a similar platform year. Ryan Ludwick and Josh Willingham received $1.75MM and $1.65MM raises in similar situations, though Cruz trumps all in career power numbers. However, Cruz does not have an advantage over where Luke Scott was after 2010, and Scott received a $2.35MM bump. Scott seems to push the argument in the Rangers' favor, except that Scott spent much of 2010 at designated hitter. Another point in Cruz's favor, MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith mentioned to me, is his fantastic postseason production.
- Jones wants a $4.15MM increase. He's short on career home runs compared to his arbitration peers, so maybe his argument will be based on his ability to play center field regularly and a better platform year than B.J. Upton's 2010.
- Gordon seeks a $4.05MM raise. Given his batting average, run total, and Gold Glove award, he had the best platform year of his peers. He also has the worst career power numbers, plus the Royals filed a million bucks higher than the Rangers and Orioles did for their guys.
- We always hear that arbitration hearings are a crapshoot, and perhaps none of these players will end up going to one. However, the arguments seem to favor the teams in the cases of Cruz, Jones, and Gordon, who are seeking to top Hunter Pence's $3.5MM raise despite inferior numbers. Additionally, Matt Swartz's arbitration projections came in below the midpoint for all three players.

Royals, Gordon Nearing One-Year Deal
The Royals appear to be nearing a one-year deal with arbitration eligible outfielder Alex Gordon, Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star reports. The sides have a hearing scheduled for February 16th and they'll present their respective cases to a panel of arbitrators if they don't reach an agreement first.
An agreement could occur before the end of the week, Dutton writes. GM Dayton Moore has never gone to a hearing with a player since becoming Kansas City's GM. Gordon and agent Casey Close filed for $5.45MM, while the Royals offered $4.15MM, as MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows. The sides are expected to resume extension talks once they agree on a 2012 salary.
AL Central Notes: Eldred, Gordon, Carmona
It was on this day in 1993 that Tigers legend Charlie Gehringer passed away at the age of 89. Gehringer spent his entire 19-year career in Detroit, finishing with a .320/.404/.480 career line, the 1937 AL MVP Award, a 1935 World Series championship and induction into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Gehringer is still among the Tigers' franchise leaders in virtually every offensive category and is widely regarded as one of the game's greatest second basemen.
Some items from Detroit and elsewhere in the AL Central…
- The Tigers signed first baseman Brad Eldred to a minor league contract that doesn't include an invitation to the team's Major League Spring Training camp. Eldred, 31, has an .870 OPS and 227 homers over 10 minor league seasons but has seen just 282 plate appearances in the bigs, his most recent cup of coffee coming with the Rockies in 2010. Eldred hit .278/.351/.536 for the Giants' Triple-A affiliate last season.
- The Royals shouldn't wait to sign Alex Gordon to an extension, argues Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star. Mellinger thinks Michael Cuddyer's three-year, $31.5MM pact with the Rockies could be "the general framework" for a new Gordon deal, and both Gordon and Cuddyer are represented by agent Casey Close. Mellinger thinks a four-year, $35MM contract would fair to both sides; that's about $5MM higher than what MLBTR's Tim Dierkes guessed a Gordon extension would look like last August.
- Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com thinks the Indians should release Roberto Hernandez Heredia (a.k.a. Fausto Carmona) and use the saved salary on an available pitcher like Roy Oswalt, Edwin Jackson or Livan Hernandez.
- Melissa Segura of Sports Illustrated looks at how teams pay much larger median bonuses to 16-year-old Latin American prospects, when a much smaller percentage of those young prospects actually reach the majors. While players like Carmona have knowingly committed age and identity fraud, Segura argues that "by placing such high premiums on 16-year-olds, teams are fooling themselves."

Quick Hits: Lincecum, Red Sox, Gordon, Francis
Friday night links..
- The Giants and the agent for Tim Lincecum have made significant progress since exchanging arbitration figures and both sides are confident that a resolution can be reached before a hearing would be scheduled, writes Andrew Baggarly of the Mercury News.
- The Reds could look to land an infielder via trade, writes MLB.com's Mark Sheldon.
- It appears that talks between the Rockies and Red Sox regarding Marco Scutaro are dormant, but Rob Bradford of WEEI.com writes that Boston's possible motivation for a move involving Scutaro would be to free up payroll. The club has reportedly expressed interest in White Sox starter Gavin Floyd and free agent outfielder Cody Ross, but neither move could be made unless a trade was made to offer budgetary relief according to a source.
- The Royals and Alex Gordon aren't particularly close on a deal but talks remain cordial and both sides want to get something done, tweets Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star.
- Left-hander Jeff Francis is starting to attract more interest from teams in the market for a starting pitcher including the Mariners, Reds, Blue Jays, and Mets, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (Twitter links)
- Jesus Montero has dealt with his visa issue and is scheduled to travel from Florida to Seattle today for his Mariners physical, tweets Ken Davidoff of Newsday.
- Braves GM Frank Wren doesn't believe that his club has a major personnel need, writes Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wren also believes that this year's bullpen figures to be even deeper that last year's.
- Joe Capozzi of The Palm Beach Post (via Twitter) is told that the Marlins have no interest in bringing Ivan Rodriguez back.

Arbitration Filing Numbers

Most cases won't go to arbitration hearings, but teams such as the Rays, Nationals, Marlins, White Sox, Blue Jays and Braves have stuck to 'file and trial' policies in the past.

Royals Exploring Long-Term Extension For Gordon
Following a break-out campaign that earned Alex Gordon MVP votes, the Royals would like to lock up the 27-year-old for the long term. The Royals have discussed a contract extension for Gordon, and GM Dayton Moore says the club will work "very hard" to keep him in Kansas City, according to MLB.com's Dick Kaegel.
"I don't think either side feels any pressure," said Moore. "We have him under control for two more years. There's certainly a willingness to move forward together and get something done."
Gordon, who hit .303/.376/.502 in 2011, will be eligible for arbitration this year and next. MLBTR projects an approximate salary of $4.4MM for the former second overall pick.

Alex Gordon, Royals Plan To Discuss Extension
It took a few years longer than expected, but Alex Gordon has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Royals' lineup. Interest is mutual on a possible extension, reports Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star.
Asked about staying in Kansas City, Gordon replied with a Napoleon Dynamite-esque, "Heck, yeah." Gordon's agent Casey Close has spoken to Royals GM Dayton Moore, and the two agreed to discuss an extension in the offseason.
Gordon, 27, is hitting .301/.374/.484 in 527 plate appearances this year, his first full season as a left fielder. Dutton writes in praise of Gordon's outfield defense, and UZR concurs. Back when the Royals drafted Gordon second overall in 2005, he played third base.
Gordon, who is represented by Casey Close of Excel Sports Management, is earning $1.4MM this year. His disappointing 2010 season resulted in just a $250K raise, but Gordon's salary will rise by several million for 2012. Barring an extension, he'll be arbitration eligible one more time in 2013 before hitting free agency.
In my opinion, a fair price for Gordon's final two arbitration years would be $9MM total, and then free agent years could be bought out in the $9-11MM range. I could see a four-year deal for under $30MM, perhaps with a club option in the mix.

What's the key to addressing poverty? How do we get unemployed Americans back to work? Robert Doar, AEI's Morgridge Fellow in Poverty Studies, reveals where the answer to these challenges lies.
Follow AEIdeas on Twitter at @AEIdeas.
Clearly, The problem is availability of jobs. The Fairtax corrects the current system's taxation of productivity and, thus, jobs. Jobs have flowed overseas in response to the current system. The Fairtax corrects this and many other unfair aspects of the current federal government revenue collection system.
Clearly, The problem is availability of jobs.
This isn't clear at all. There are literally millions of jobs unfilled today. Why? The reality is that many low income workers are low income for a reason: they decline to get basic job skills.
When I say basic, I mean very basic, like showing up to work on time and finishing your shift. In a survey a few years ago, the biggest complaint that employers had was finding "qualified" candidates. When pressed on what this means, many sheepishly replied that many applicants fail the drug screening test.
your are right about drugs. Two large steel fabricators I know say over half of applicants can't pass a drug test. I'm sure legalizing marijuana will solve this problem-NOT!!
make it so the banksters and wall street can no longer skim off billions of dollars from the top of the country's finance and somehow get it to salaries for people who buy things to make the need for others to provide those goods/services, which IS new jobs!
How? Don't ask our "leaders" Maybe just that everybody had less stolen from them would accomplish that as they would likely spend that extra.
make it so the banksters and wall street can no longer skim off billions of dollars
Just how would you do this? This is exactly what is protected and encouraged by the current set of politicians. Enormous sums in the forms of kickbacks, such as campaign contributions and reciprocal hiring, is precisely how politicians and bankers collude against the general public.
The problem is the government's involvement in that industry. And your suggestion is … more government involvement?
Three things are needed. First and foremost is a need to make it "worthwhile" to work. This involves removing all of the incentives for people to stay home. Second, is to remove the uncertainties of the market concerning business, e.g. there is no incentive for a business to hire someone if the the cost of that individual exceeds his contributions to that business. Finally, recuse any legislator who has never had to meet a payroll, from ever signing on to any "regulation".
U.S. manufacturing output is about 90% of what it was in 2007. Well-paying manufacturing jobs have been pared by both outsourcing and technology efficiencies. Consequently what's left are either lower paying service jobs or high risk start up business ventures (if funding is available).
Unemployment rates are meaningless as the labor force participation rate has dropped significantly in 5 years.
What we appear to be facing is a distinct divided between high tech/high skilled jobs and stagnation for the less skilled and less educated. Old style manufacturing is dying out and so are the "middle class blue collar" jobs that went with it.
The real solution: get rid of welfare, get rid of the minimum wage, get rid of employer liability (in other words if you accept the job you accept the risks of the job), get rid of the minimum age requirement as well as compulsory education. get rid of unions, etc. In other words, get rid of all barriers to employment as well getting rid of any alternative to not being able to work (except private charity).
A better way to put this is: remove all government interference from the market.
It's a good suggestion, but when you see comments like JMWinPR's above, you know it's a futile suggestion. The reality is that pretty much in unison, American consumers and producers beg for government intervention, in the form of special favors and protections.
You are advocating a return to the laissez faire capitalism of the nineteenth century. That might reduce the unemployment rate, although even that is doubtful. It would certainly increase poverty.
There is a reason the voters progressively rejected laissez faire capitalism throughout the twentieth century. They know that the clear majority of them will be jeopardized by it.

This is precisely the attitude that got us into the mess we're in. Unemployment isn't a society "problem" to be "solved". I have an idea: let's leave people alone and stop dictating the actions of others and let people live their lives as they see fit.
This is in fact the most radical idea in the history of mankind and something many at AEI embrace. It's disappointing to see some at AEI reject it.
Or to put it another way: unemployment isn't a problem rather being unemployed at the public's expense is the problem.
Hard to generate jobs when the Fed keeps a noose around the neck of the economy…and yes, tax consumption not production…
The results of 1996 weren't all positive. Wage abuse as well as parent(s) dealing with obtaining child supervision are some of the problems that came with the 1990s welfare reform. It benefited companies that hired people on welfare but not necessarily those on welfare.
And so when Robert Doar says that gov't assistance for low wage earners helps poverty, what it also does is to help companies obtain tax-subsidized payrolls while some of these same companies do all they can to avoid paying taxes. If we support that, how can we complain about both people receiving welfare and about deficit spending?
It seems that Doar's concern here is how to help companies take advantage of poverty and the attempts to relieve it.
Talking about "the poor" conveys the attitude that poverty is something that happens to "those people," and that it is largely the result of morally irresponsible behavior.
The real problem is that our economy is no longer creating many jobs that enable ordinary but hard working people to earn middle class incomes. Both political parties are complicit in this.
The Immigration Reform Act of 1965 made it possible for the employer investor class to import cheap labor. The North American Free Trade Agreement of 1994 made it possible for that class to export good jobs. Both of these were promoted and signed by Democratic presidents. Both had bi partisan support in both houses of Congress.
An additional factor is computer technology. It enables geniuses to earn vast fortunes while reducing the economic value of jobs most Americans are able to learn. Automation and off shoring are both made possible by computer technology.

Whisky Liqueur - Scotland - 40.00% 7 It is not a whisky, so it cannot be scored as one. In character, I would regard it as an aperitif liqueur, rather than an-after dinner drink. In a category of its own, it secures a high score.

It's not unusual for hot rodders to have an affinity for a particular make and model of base vehicle on which to focus their creative talents. That is certainly the case with Bob Booth. His previous two projects have been Model A Fords. Build number one was a '50s-style '31 closed-cab pickup, completed over a five-year period. Following a fair few miles racked up with Bob at the wheel, it was exported to Italy, with ownership passing to superbike racer Loris Capirossi. The money from the sale funded the start of Model A number two, this time a '30 coupe. The completed project was out on the road in 2005. Its fenderless body, metallic gold paintwork, and whitewall-shod Radirs gave it a distinctive look. Add a white diamond-pleated interior and tri-power small-block, and the whole package placed the car firmly in the '60s era.
While he was definitely enjoying using the coupe to attend cruise nights and rod runs, Bob was equally keen to get back in the workshop and started on a new project. "Even though I have been privileged to own two steel Model A Fords it was always going to be a roadster one day," he says. With that objective firmly in mind it was time to formulate a new build plan. "I've always read the 'little books', along with the early hot rod archive books by Don Montgomery, and have always been interested in the history and roots of hot rodding."
So the decision was made to rise to the challenge of building his roadster mainly from parts that would have been available as hot rodding was developing in the '40s. A tough call, even more so given that Bob is not a U.S. citizen, being born and a resident on the opposite side of the Atlantic in England.
With a base body and frame duly located and purchased in the UK through his many Model A contacts, accumulating the remaining components required exploring other avenues. "EBay is a great thing and allowed me to get some of the right parts that would never have been possible to get otherwise." The Internet also became an invaluable tool in extending his component knowledge and establishing contacts for advice and support in the ensuing build.
Utilizing all his resources, Bob managed to locate and acquire a range of parts that gradually built up into the finished vehicle. Ford parts, either stock or modified, ranged from 1929-48. While sources abroad helped with some components, Bob's contacts in the UK were also invaluable. Duksville Speed Shop proprietor and friend Geordie Paul was "persuaded" to sacrifice a rare Johnston dual carb intake manifold from his own personal collection. The I-beam axle was drilled and dropped by UK rod builder Jerry Denning, who also altered the steering arms on the '32 Ford spindles to match.
Not all of the parts obtained involved the exchanges of cash, as Bob was also open to trading, the decklid resulting from a swap for a spare brake setup. When it came time for the interior work, Bob enlisted Mick Shepherd who had done sterling work for him on his previous rides. The creative rapport between them has come through again on the roadster, resulting in an interior and top that looks as though it was transported back in time to be done.
While work and support from others was helpful on this build, the quality of this period rod is without doubt down to the skill, vision, and extensive hands-on efforts of Bob himself. This is all the more remarkable given that he was most definitely not around (either chronologically or geographically) during the era of hot rodding that his car reflects and celebrates.
"Most folk's comments on the roadster are that nothing jumps out at you, which in a way is very complimentary, as I just wanted something nice and simple. Mind you, it's been the hardest build so far by a long way."
So far you say? Could the latest parts purchase indicate the start of another project and also a change of model allegiance? Was that a '34 grille shell spotted in the workshop? Look out for further signs of Internet activity!

Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint and its name have roots in Greek mythology. Pluto – god of the dead – fell in love with the beautiful nymph Minthe. Pluto's goddess wife Persephone became jealous and turned Minthe into a plant. Pluto could not bring her back to life but ensured that she would have a pleasing, fragrant aroma.
Peppermint is actually a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. Peppermint's minty aroma reminds one of peppermint candies
, but is quite concentrated and actually more fragrant than spearmint. Peppermint oil is also sold in capsule and tablet form, which differs from other Essential Oils
and herbs.
Peppermint liquid has a high menthol content and is usually colorless to pale yellow. Most people will associate Peppermint Oil
with being a flavoring or scenting agent in foods, beverages, skin and hair care products, as well as soaps and candles.
Health benefits of peppermint and its oil have been studied and proven; including its ability to treat indigestion, respiratory ailments, headache and migraines, nausea, fever, as well as stomach and bowel spasms. Due to the presence of menthol, menthone and menthyl esters, peppermint and peppermint oil find numerous applications in the manufacturing of soap, shampoo, cigarettes, toothpaste, chewing gum, tea and ice cream.
Peppermint Oil
contains various minerals and nutrients and is often referred to as the world's oldest medicine. The aroma of peppermint has been found to clear the brain and to be a mental stimulant. Useful information for those who have to drive for extended periods of time and wonder what can help minimize mental fatigue.
Peppermint cools by constricting the capillaries (explaining why it helps with bruises and sore joints) and it needs to be used in extremely low dilutions of one or two drops. It is also an irritant so it can be sensitizing due to its high menthol content. It is highly advised to avoid its use during pregnancy.
Peppermint oil has a strong scent and it blends well with many other oils, such as:
- Basil
- Bergamot
- Cajeput
- Cedarwood
- Eucalyptus
- Lemon
- Lime
- Mandarin
- Marjoram
- Niaouli
- Pine
- Rosemary
- Spearmint
- Thyme
When combined with Rosemary, Lemon and Eucalyptus it is considered quite invigorating and is recommended for physical energy.
Another use for peppermint oil is a bit unusual. Place a drop of peppermint oil on a cotton ball and stick the cotton in holes, under cabinets or any other area you think a mouse might enter. For some reason mice do not like the peppermint smell and so are deterred from entering.
So whatever the reason you use peppermint oil, enjoy the aroma and gain from its benefits!

Day 1: Adventures!
we literally woke up, did homework and then explored the city! It was eye opening to say the least, but in some ways it was similar to India. The culture not so much, but the city atmosphere was. We visited the Amman Citadel, that also had the Temple of Hercules inside. We also visited the Roman Amphitheater Ruins. I've never seen so many historical sites in one place haha

Well fellow Deer hunters our sport is almost over. South Carolina's deer season closed last Friday Jan 1st, Georgia's will end 30 minutes after sunset tomorrow. I was reading John Burke's article in today's Sports Page and he hit the nail on the head. For the most part is was a fantastic season. Personally I put 3 deer in the freezer, to include the largest deer I have ever harvested, tipping the scales at 163 lbs. The best part of the season was the deer I didn't harvest. I observed a nice 6 pointer, on the club, that made my 163 pounder look

Now that were into the 2009 Hunting seasons, things are starting to heat up. From all across the area I have seen and have been told of some fantastic Bucks being taken by local hunters. One of the best stories was from a friend of mine who got a fuzzy picture of a nice 13 point with a 21 inch spread taken in Beaufort County last Monday morning. This monster weighed in (rough) at 187lbs live weight
This weekend should be the peek of the first rut. All the signs are in the air and on the ground.

As for deer hunting goes were in the heat of the season. I've been talking with lots of hunters around the area and most are pleased with whats going on in the woods. Last week alone I harvested 3 deer from our club in Jasper County. Most of the deer processing plant in the area are at max capacity and its only going to bet better.
Dan Shealy, a local hunter and business man sent me a photo of a monster buck taken from Worth County. Raw it was a 200 inch 18 Point buck taken on Red Oak Plantation. Locally a monster was taken from Effingham County.&

Come the first Saturday in September, a long tradition will roll around for dove shooters in South Georgia and South Carolina. This is the traditional start of the three part dove season for both states.
Of the three species of dove that live in the south, two are legal and one is protected. The Morning dove and the Eurasian collard dove are the legal species and the Ground dove is protected. The best way to tell the difference between the three is their size, with the Ground Dove being the smallest.

Last weekend I was fooling around on the computer and happened to check the Ga DNR web site. While there I noticed that they had a heading for the 2010 - 2011 hunting seasons. I just had to open it and found the seasons posted, with the exception of waterfowl and the Dove Seasons which are subject to approval by the Board of Natural Resources. To save you a trip to the web site I'll post them here:

The reason we live in an era where there is abundant wildlife is 99% due to volunteers. I'm talking sportsman and woman, kids, seniors, or anyone wanting to pass on today's wildlife to the next generation. Because of this, here in Georgia and South Carolina, we have more deer, turkey, ducks, dove, and hogs, than when Oglethorpe got off the boat in 1733. Several true conservation groups have supported specific species of game animals for the last 75 or so years. In doing this we, the guys and ladies that buy the hunting licenses have gained a lot of knowledge or not o

Thanks for the modified script... I can follow that logic! I am interested in what the other script was actually doing however... if you can spare the time a brief explanation would probably help me understand it better. Your modified script is working great on my system here, and I like it's functionality a great deal. Excellent, thank you.

A former NBA star who once declared "I hate gay people" became the first person to sign a new petition seeking to legalize gay marriage in Florida.
Tim Hardaway signed the first petition Wednesday night for Equal Marriage Florida, a fresh effort to repeal a 2008 state amendment banning same-sex unions. He added his name while leaning over a pool table in a public ceremony at Sully's Tavern in Miami alonside Equal Marriage Florida organizer Vanessa Brito.
Hardaway, whose killer crossover served teams including Golden State and Miami, has been working for years to undo the damage caused by a hateful tirade on South Florida sports radio in 2007. Asked to respond to the coming out of retired player John Amaechi, he admitted to being homophobic and said he would distance himself from a gay colleague:
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway replied in part. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."
The resulting controversy nearly ruined his post-playing career and prompted several apologies. Admitting he "had no idea how much I hurt people" and pledging to "do whatever I can to correct it," Hardaway shortly took classes at a Miami-area LGBT youth suicide prevention organization, raised money for a nationwide suicide hotlinefor young gay people, and in 2011 in El Paso fought a recall of three local politicians who voted to restore health benefits for gay city employees."
On the occasion of yesterday's historic Supreme Court case rulings, the awesome people at Powder Magazine contacted SKI BUMS president & founder Chris French to chat about how SKI BUMS began, get a reaction to the rulings, and discuss how he reacts when snowboarders say "skiing is gay!"
Check out the fun interview:
Ski clubs are scattered throughout the country as a way to bring shredders together in cities and towns and transport them to the mountains. And they're a great excuse for people to get together and drink beer. Chris French, 39, is the founder of Ski Bums, the self-proclaimed largest LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) ski club in the world. Based in New York City, French has planned trips all over the world and had a damn good time doing it along the way. Via Skype, he chatted with POWDER.com about running a ski club, ripping pow in Japan, and yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that entitled gay married couples to the same federal benefits as straight couples.
POWDER: Let's start with the basics of your club.
Chris French: Ski Bums is the world's largest club for LGBT skiers and snowboarders. We got started as a local club in New York City in 2004, but then we grew pretty rapidly to become a regional club. Then a national club. Today we have more than 1,000 members from 40 U.S. states and roughly 20 foreign countries.
When did you first go on trips?
Our first trips were in January 2005. And that first year, we only took local trips to East Coast places in the Catskills and Vermont. We got excited pretty quickly and things took off rapidly. We started the very next year going out West. We went to Zermatt, Switzerland. Last year we had 20 trips. And we're going to Argentina later this summer.
So why a gay ski club? Skiing is a predominantly white sport, but there's an African American ski club, Jewish ski clubs, and others. I find it interesting there's clubs devoted to particular races, religions, and sexual preferences.
The question that I hear from some of my straight friends is this: "Well why do you only want to ski with other gay people? Why don't you want to ski with us? Why don't you want to be around us?" And that's not the case at all. On the contrary, I don't hear that question so much from LGBT people because…we have to do something to find each other. We either have to go to a bar, or go to a club. We can't just like walk out onto the street and be like, "Hey everyone, if you're gay, raise your hand right now." (laughs) The ultimate purpose of Ski Bums is to connect with other LGBT people and make new friends.

For the first time in history, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing two gay rights cases in one term. One case challenges California's Prop 8, which revoked same-sex couples' freedom to marry in that state. The other challenges the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bars the federal government from recognizing the marriages of same-sex couples. Here's a handy graphic from legal experts at Lambda Legal explaining how the Court may decide each case.
Yet more reasons to adore Brendon Ayanbadejo — he and other NFL players have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court to support marriage equality in the Prop8 trial. Wow.
Major news for the LGBT community!
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will take up California's ban on same-sex marriage, a case that could give the justices the chance to rule on whether gay Americans have the same constitutional right to marry as heterosexuals.
The justices said Friday they will review a federal appeals court ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban, though on narrow grounds. The San Francisco-based appeals court said the state could not take away the same-sex marriage right that had been granted by California's Supreme Court.
In time for Father's Day, the New York Times has an incredible column from the father of one of the Prop8 lead plaintiffs, Dominick Zarrillo. It's well worth the read!
It's easy for anyone to get confused over the circuitous path that Proposition 8 has taken through the courts over the last three years. With Tuesday's important ruling on its way, here's a great overview of the background of the case.
