On a volcanic island in the Galápagos archipelago, giant tortoises (Chelonoidis nigra) such as the one pictured undertake a seasonal migration. The surprising finding comes from a tracking study conducted by Stephen Blake, a researcher at Max Planck Institute in Germany.
"It is every bit the classic migration, just played out on a smaller scale," said Blake, a National Geographic explorer who studies the migration of giant tortoises on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos. (Read about great animal migrations in National Geographic magazine.)
He and his colleagues put GPS tags on 18 tortoises and conducted monthly population surveys to find that adult males over 20 years old, and some adult females, undertook a migration averaging about 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) over the course of two to three weeks. That's 650 to 1,000 feet (200 to 300 meters) each day.
There are terrestrial animals that migrate much longer distances—caribou (Rangifer tarandus) hold the record for longest land migration at 700 miles (1,100 kilometers). But this is the first recorded instance of tortoises, which generally travel about 130 to 160 feet (40 to 50 meters) a day, moving from one habitat to another.
The tortoises' journey begins in the humid highlands of Santa Cruz Island, where they load up on grass and perennial plants. Once the rainy season starts in December, they migrate to the lowlands, where herbs and shrubs thrive.
Come June or July, when the rains stop and the vegetation dries up, they return to the highlands. Although adult males and some females make the trek, "other tortoises choose to hunker down," said Blake. The rest of the adult females, and all tortoises under the age of about 20, choose to stay in the lowlands.
"We're just starting to figure out why," said Blake. He believes that females and juvenile tortoises, which have smaller bodies, may be less equipped to tolerate the colder temperatures of the highlands. Younger tortoises might also linger to eat the lowland's highly nutritious broad-leaf vegetation during their growing phase.
The study, published November 21 in the Journal of Animal Ecology, marks the first time that researchers have published evidence demonstrating tortoise migration, although locals have previously noticed their movements—and even told Charles Darwin about them. (Read about what inspired Charles Darwin in National Geographic magazine.)
Now, researchers are beginning to study the migration of other tortoises in the Galápagos Islands. As each island has different environmental conditions, different tortoise movement patterns are likely.
By understanding giant tortoise habitat requirements and migration patterns, scientists can better protect the vulnerable reptile. They can begin mapping conservation threats such as the growth of invasive plant species, the building of roads, and the effects of rapidly increasing tourism to the islands.

"What else do we need aside from salaries to attract teachers?"
…What else do we need aside from salaries to attract teachers? Well, we need lower class size because teachers want satisfaction in their work. How do they get satisfaction? The real mission of a teacher is not to give idiot multiple-choice tests, but to get kids to think, to express themselves, to be able to advance arguments, to be able to persuade.
You get kids to do these things by getting them to write, to put their thoughts on paper. Then, the teacher has to mark the paper and spend three, four or five minutes with each student. Then she gets them to redo it and redo it. With constant coaching the student eventually begins to think, to express, to write. Without that coaching and practice, the student will never get there.
But teachers can't do this today. With 30 kids in a class, five periods a day, 150 students, five minutes to mark each paper and five minutes to coach each student adds up to 25 hours per set of papers. There are not many teachers who will do that or, if they do, for very long…
There is no way to solve this problem given the way that schools are currently structured. Furthermore, even if we were to reduce class size from 30 to 15, it would mean that this country would need 4.4 million teachers. We would need to hire half of all the college graduates in the country just to teach school.
This was written 25 years ago.

Get rid of the draconian policy on URLs and mentioning products
10:54 pm on May 25, 2010
(gmt 0)
firstly let me just say that i think Webmaster World is a great source of really useful info. however, i actually stopped using it so much because of the overbearing policy on URLs and mentioning 3rd party products. i know it's difficult to figure out if people are unscrupulously promoting their products. but, please use better judgment on the new site. in the past, my posts have been edited when i was clearly not promoting a product. yes, i mentioned it because my question was a technical issue to do with the product!
also, it's actually very useful to see a discussion about the relative merits of shopping cart A versus shopping cart B. and just because i post about this doesn't mean i'm promoting either one. you just need to use better, more sensible judgments in my opinion. (by the way, those aren't real products so you don't have to edit this ;)

It's interesting that WebmasterWorld is accused of being 'old fashioned' in this respect
Exactly! IMHO Webmasterworld set the standard. It's the others who are out of touch and who are operating with reduced standards.
In my experience
of the people who want links in a forum are those who want to post spam for their own ends. If they decide this forum is not for them they are no loss to our community.

I am on several other forums and none of them allow links. Some allow product mentions, such as shopping carts, CMS's, etc but most of these are open-source anyway.
These forums monitor the posts and nix any spammy messages quickly, but it takes a lot of work and sometimes things leak through.
The forums I have been on that have no moderation easily turn into spam-fests and saw me leaving quickly shortly after.
Leave the link/product policy as is.

do the moderators really need to delete the URL and send a private message like telling off a child? Just modify the post silently.
It's a rule. And when we've done an edit and forgot to notify the poster, as often as not we catch hell for not being courteous enough to notify the poster of the reason for the edit.
Besides, when I send a sticky I sign it with my real name. :)

I agree with dropping the tight restrictions. Look at most educated forums where someone spams a URL, and the follow up posts rip that spam post apart. It's self governing. Tight restrictions block newcomers. Is this a good thing or not? I would say no, but I am a newcomer. I use to participate in GameDev.net (will that be blocked? it's their name) but I haven't becaues of their rules and regulations always make me feel unwelcome no matter how often I go back to give them a try. Most of us, I would guess, are free spirits and don't like to be held back. ;)

all you've got to do is block URLs and emails from being posted by new people -- eg anyone with less than 50 posts. you can write an easy little script for that, it doesn't have to involve any work for the mods at all. when new people post URLs you simply return an error and ask them to remove them.
anyone with more than 50 posts will probably want to stay, and will know by then that dropping spam will get them banned, so they wont do it.

I'll go ahead and weigh in on the URL policy since I inadvertently ran afoul of it last night. Someone asked for advice about hiring someone to create an online game on their site. I suggested contacting an online game site to see if they would customize or re-skin one of their existing games to make it look unique. Might cost less than hiring somebody to write one from scratch. Seemed like an intelligent suggestion, but since I mentioned another website as an example the post got deleted and I had to mail the information to the person.
It occurs to me that in the context of Feedback Days it might be useful to discuss particular features found on specific other sites. But no... you can describe the feature, but to identify the site itself so people can actually take a look at it you have to use sticky mail. For example, I wouldn't mind being able to rate people's posts, so really informative ones could be flagged as such. There's one site in particular that I think has an excellent system for doing that. I guess you can mail me if you want to know where it is, but because of Zero Tolerance we won't be able to discuss it here anyway, which is kind of the whole point of a discussion forum. Silly really.

Not a perfect solution, but if URL are ever accepted, the best yet by far - worth exploring? Maybe combine with nofollow short URLs?

Different wording, same thought ... Kaled floated this suggestion about a hundred posts ago, so let's give credit where it's due.
Here are a couple of issues I'd like to see the community ponder:
- How would a looser linking-out policy affect the predominantly "self-contained" character of threads? How would changing that affect the usefulness of discussions as a resource for people who come across them later?
- The present rules force us to think harder to ask good questions. What's to be gained and lost there?

Ah, there's always a clever dick ;) One point to you.
Sorry, didn't see that one. And having searched the thread, I still can't see it. He did propose premoderation - which you poo-pooed, but this suggestion is actually different. If I've missed anything, please put me straight.
But what do you think of the idea - it seems remarkably commonsensical to me.

One problem is "tag teams", where one person asks a seemingly innocent question and then another person posts a link to some site supposedly with the answer, the issue being that the two people are working together to drop links, or infact the two people are really just one person with two user names.

Allow URL's but don't link them. Make people copy and paste them into the browser. You get the benefit of sharing resources and the SPAM protection that comes from not allowing links.

As much as I think name dropping could be beneficial at times and in particular circumstances, I believe ruling out any possibility of favoritism/spamming/commercial agendas is best. I would not change this.
You can always sticky members after all ;)

There is not a "no links" policy. Links to news sites are common. Indeed, many threads simply would never be started if these links were not permitted.
It's also worth noting that news sites are commercial, yet I have had useful links deleted to entirely non-profit sites in the past. In one instance, the moderator thought I must be connected to the site - that was rather funny because I live in another continent yet the moderator himself had gone to the same University!
How many good threads die prematurely or never even start because of this policy?
So far this thread is just circular prattle - it has not advanced one iota. I posted a sensible basis for discussion that was completely ignored by everyone except buckworks who missed the point entirely.
If no one has anything original to say, then it's time this thread was closed.

Kaled, I don't think it is circular prattle and on this occasion it may be you who is missing the point. Rogoff proposed a relaxation of the no URLs rule. What we have had since then is people's opinions for and against this idea. Rogoff can correct me if I am wrong but I think that is the type of reponse that the thread was supposed to generate?
You Said...
Let's look at this problem sensibly instead of arguing...
1. We don't want spammers or self-promotion.
2. We all find the current rules to be inconvenient.
Where you are probably mistaken is that while (1) may be true there are many comments that suggest that your assumption in (2) is wrong. We do not all find the rules to be inconvenient so it may not be a "sensible basis for discussion" in other peoples' opinion.

Further to this and as a matter of interest I did a quick survey of the answers received in here. This is not scientific and in some cases peoples' views are unclear but this is roughly what we have so far.
I would say that is a pretty healthy weight of opinion for the status quo?

The status quo is mostly old school WebmasterWorld Members who are used to the old ways. The status quo isn't working anymore which is quite obvious from the multitude of threads about this particular policy, this isn't the only thread on the topic.
I used to support the status quo also - until I got out and started visiting other resources. Then I realized what I had missing for so many years. I don't care about all the whining and arguments about spam, there are professional ways to deal with that crap and all of you know that!
Just allow unlinked URI references and we're good to go. Cut and paste. Very simple solution to this entire topic.

I beg to differ. There are lots of people contributing to this thread that I have never heard of before. They are coming out of the woodwork in support of no URLs. To me that is an indication of the strength of feeling against this.
On the other hand, there are a a few "old school" members (like yourself) who are in favor of relaxation of the rule.

Yeah, probably because most people for allowing URLs and product mentions have already turned away and gone elswhere.
I mean: Just check the ecommerce forums. Usually the discussion goes something like this:
- Hello, I am selling widgets and sales have dropped to zero. I wonder what's wrong.
- We need more information, what widgets are you selling.
- My widgets are green and consumables.
- What prize range are your widgets?
- Middle prized.
- Perhaps it's the season? Are your widgets seasonal?
And so on.
When the discussion could have gone like this:
- I sell Valentines Gifts and my sales are dropping suddenly.
- Valentines Day was two weeks ago, most probably people won't order again until next year.
- Thanks, I did not think of that.
Same with URLs: Discussions like this are common:
- I noticed something odd: Do a search for widgets, for example in the range of electronics and you will notice this and that happens.
- I can't see it.
- Neither can I
- Try searching for Iphone
- Ah yes I see it
Then the moderator comes along <snip>
- The search term is gone, can you please sticky me.

one big advantage of returning errors for new guests who post things containing http:, www., email:, and [url=, is that it will pretty much wipe out all the spam posts.
at the moment spam posts sometimes still get through and the mods delete them within half-an-hour or so. but if you return an error at the post entry stage asking them to amend the text, they will never appear on the board.

Just because a majority of posters think something is a good idea doesn't make it right. I use two other fora (who shall remain nameless) both allow signature links after a certain amount of posts, both allow links in the body of the post. Both forums are moderated and spam posts are quickly deleted and the poster banned. This works.
On WebmasterWorld it is a real pain in the nether regions to have to copy and paste code and then make a copy of someone's page on your home server before you can try and diagnose the problem. This takes ages and is backward. You luddites who want to maintain this system need to wake up and smell the coffee! Use the technology available; links combined with the Web Developer Tool Bar. This make diagnosing problems so much quicker and easier. If the Mods keep on top of the spammers there is no real downside. Let's drag this forum into the twenty first century.
Just ask yourself, and be honest, how many times have you looked at a post and thought "I think I know the answer to that but I'm not going to waste half an hour copying and pasting the code and then assembling the page". We are all "time poor" and this just takes too much of that scarce commodity.
I'm sure this is the main reason most people desert WebmasterWorld - it is just not user friendly.

Whilst many many think the rules (on urls) are sensible (and I have not said otherwise) they are undoubtedly inconvenient - that is true whether you agree with the rules or not. Do you seriously expect me to believe that there's a significant number of users who have reached even a few hundred posts but never wished to post an url (for someone else's benefit). Certainly, when answering questions, I have often wished to post urls - not for my benefit but for the benefit of others. The rules are undoubtedly necessary, but that does not mean that they cannot be improved.
I made sensible suggestions to discourage spammers and self-promotion whilst allowing more urls to be posted. You might wish to maintain the status-quo, and there are many that agree with you but, without any doubt, many people find the rules annoying so a compromise, implemented partly by technical changes, would seem to be a sensible subject for discussion. I find the fact that no one seems to be interested in doing do, both sad and astonishing.
So far this thread has achieved nothing other than to emphasise there are two intractable positions with few people willing to consider the other point of view.

GARY | If you're just rising from the haze of the Blackhawks Stanley Cup Championship win Monday night, remember that the RailCats game ended later.
The 'Cats finished after 11 p.m. thanks in part to a 73-minute rain delay, and in part to scoring 16 runs total in a 10-6 Gary win.
The RailCats had little time to sleep in Tuesday morning, up for a noon game against Kansas City.
Will Krout will be activated from the disabled list to start against the T-Bones. The corresponding move is forthcoming.
Today's lineup:
Kansas City T-Bones (15-22)
LF Justin Bass
CF Kennard Jones
2B Jairo Perez
1B Matt Padgett
SS Devin Goodwin
RF Brandon Jones
DH Ray Sadler
C Steve Yoo
3B Jeff Squier
RHP Lucas Irvine (1-3, 3.18 ERA)
RailCats (21-15)
LF Adam Klein
RF Mike Massaro
DH Cristian Guerrero
C Craig Maddox
1B Christian Vitters
3B Brian Kolb
CF Drew Martinez
SS Zac Mitchell
2B Chase Tucker
RHP Will Krout (1-4, 6.45 ERA)
Krout's last start was June 17 at Wichita, in which he went 6 1/3 innings, gave up 10 hits, seven runs and six strikeouts. He has allowed double-digit hits in his last three starts and in four of seven appearances this season. The seven runs allowed was the most he's given up this season, and the six strikeouts were also a season high. Of his seven starts, he has a decision in five games.
Word comes at 12:10 (after national anthem, but before first pitch) on Krout move. First baseman Steve Liddle is traded to Southern Illinois of the Fronter League for a player to be named later.
Liddle played in 25 games for the RailCats this season, hitting .226 with four doubles, a trip and eight RBIs.
Liddle's career batting average is .244, but he's always had the capability to be an extra-base hitter, something the RailCats have been in need of this season.
With the dimensions of U.S. Steel Yard (400 center, 335 right and 320 left) with the 12-foot tall walls, the park has never produced players who will hit 25 or 30 homers a season. However, the 'Cats are far last in the league this year with five homers as leader Kansas City has 49.
The RailCats, however, lead the league in triples with 17 and are tied for last with 53 doubles (tying Winnipeg).
First inning
Justin Bass flies out to left-center, caught on the run by Drew Martinez. Kennard Jones flies out to center, not as far of a trip for Drew Martinez, who took about four steps backward to make the catch. Jario Perez grounds out to short. Mid 1st inning: T-Bones 0, RailCats 0
Adam Klein hits bunt down the first-base line that is gobbled up by the first baseman, who out-touches Klein to the bag. Mike Massaro grounds out to short, with a hard-hit ball. Cristian Guerrero grounds out to second. End 1st inning: RailCats 0, T-Bones 0.
Second inning
Matt Padgett grounds out to second. Devin Goodwin and Brandon Jones strike out swinging. Mid 2nd inning: RailCats 0, T-Bones 0
Craig Maddox strikes out swinging and is out when the dropped third strike is thrown home. Christian Vitters strikes out swinging. Brian Kolb grounds out to first. End 2nd inning: RailCats 0, T-Bones 0.
Third inning
Ray Sadler strikes out swinging. Steve Yoo flies out to left field. The first hit of the game comes off the bat of Jeff Squier, a triple to right-center. Justin Bass doubles to score Squier. Kennard Jones flies out to center field, a ball that carries and sends Drew Martinez to the warning track. Mid 3rd inning: T-Bones 1, RailCats 0
Drew Martinez grounds out to first. Zac Mitchell grounds out to third. Chase Tucker strikes out swinging. End 3rd inning: T-Bones 1, RailCats 0
Fourth inning
Jairo Perez strikes out, that's four Ks for Will Krout. Matt Padgett grounds out to third and Devin Goodwin flies out to right. Mid 4th inning: T-Bones 1, RailCats 0
Adam Klein is walked. Surprise. Mike Massaro doubles to the wall in deeeeeeep center. He scores Klein, but is out at third trying to stretch it to a triple. It would have been his eighth triple, instead it's his 10th double. Cristian Guerrero strikes out, KC catcher Steve Yoo thinks the inning is over. He's sent back out to the field, quickly hangs his head. Craig Maddox singles to short and the SS overthrows first. The inning is definitely not over as Maddox is on second base. Christian Vitters strikes out. End 4th inning: RailCats 1, T-Bones 1.
Fifth inning
Brandon Jones opens with a double that hugs the right-field line. Ray Sadler pops out to second base. Steve Yoo grounds out to first, moving Jones to third. Jeff Squier hits a low floating ball to short for the third out. Mid 5th inning: RailCats 1, T-Bones 1
Brian Kolb grounds out to second. Drew Martinez flies out to center. Zac Mitchell strikes out swinging, out at first on the dropped third strike throw. End 5th inning: RailCats 1, T-Bones 1
Sixth inning
Justin Bass is walked. That's only the eighth walk issued by Krout this season. Kennard Jones grounds to second, Bass is out on the fielder's choice. Jairo Perez singles with an odd high floating ball into very shallow right field. Jones is on third. Matt Padgett grounds into a double play. Mid 6th inning: RailCats 1, T-Bones 1
Chase Tucker flies out to center. Adam Klein walks. Then quickly steals second. Mike Massaro grounds out to second, moving Klein to third. Cristian Guererro flies out to right-center. End 6th inning: RailCats 1, T-Bones 1
Seventh inning
Devin Goodwin singles through a pair of diving infielders -- in this case, third and short. Goodwin steals second. Brandon Jones singles to move Goodwin to third. Ray Sadler hits a sac fly to center, scoring Goodwin. Steve Yoo also flies out to center. Jeff Squier tries a bunt, but Will Krout makes the out. Mid 7th inning: T-Bones 2, RailCats 1
Craig Maddox singles past a diving second basemen. The RailCats have three hits, Maddox has two of them. Christian Vitters hits a ball to right-center. The ball is lost under the boards, and it's ruled a ground-rule double, so Vitters is on second and Maddox on third. A bloop single by Brian Kolb scores Maddox. That'll be it for Irvine, who went six-plus innings with six strikeouts. Drew Martinez strikes out swinging. Danny Pulfer is pinch hitting for Zac Mitchell. Pulfer singles to score Vitters. Sean Toler will replace Jose Jimenez. Brian Kolb is caught at third on the double steal try. Pulfer is at second. Chase Tucker took nine pitches for an eventual walk. Not effective pitching from Toler. Adam Klein swings at the first pitch (WHAT?!) and flies out to left field. End 7th inning: RailCats 3, T-Bones 2.
Eighth inning
New RailCats pitcher is Marco Gonzalez. Pulfer is at first, Vitters is at short. Krout leaves the game with 82 pitches in seven innings. He's in line for his first win since May 24. Justin Bass doubles to lead off the inning, looks like he pulled a muscle coming into second base. Pitcher Ethan Cole will run for him. Kennard Jones flies out to left, Ethan Cole runs to third, unnecessarily sliding. Jairo Perez lays down a bunt single. Matt Padgett's sac fly to shallow left scores Cole. On the next pitch, Jairo Perez is caught trying to steal second. Mid 8th inning: RailCats 3, T-Bones 3
Cole, a pitcher, will remain in the game. Mike Massaro flies out to left (to Cole). Cristian Guerrero singles into shallow right field. Craig Maddox walks. Christian Vitters pops out foul to first base. Brian Kolb grounds out to short, where Maddox is out at second. End 8th inning: RailCats 3, T-Bones 3.
Ninth inning
Clay Zavada will close for the RailCats. Devin Goodwin strikes out swinging. Brandon Jones flies out to center. Ray Sadler walks, there's a meeting on the mound with the ump which wonders if there's a possibility of Zavada is injured. Steve Yoo strikes out swinging, then is out on the dropped third strike throw to first base. Mid 9th inning: RailCats 3, T-Bones 3
New T-Bones pitcher is Chad Robinson. Drew Martinez opens the inning with a double. Danny Pulfer hits a sac bunt to put Martinez on third. Ryan Babineau will pinch hit for Chase Tucker. Babineau strikes out swinging. On a first pitch wild pitch to Adam Klein, Martinez scores the winning run. Final score: RailCats 4, T-Bones 3

Numismatic literature has hitherto been prepared for the specialist, and adapted to those who wish to posses in categorical form a complete - or as nearly so as the writer's knowledge enabled him, to make it - list of the coins and medals of the period under review. Some books have been written for the beginner and those who at small cost were desirous of obtaining an elementary account of the particular branch of coin collecting in which they were interested. Few attempts, however, have been made to provide in condensed form a book dealing with the obsolete currencies which have, throughout the world's history, been used by its most prominent nations.In this little work the author has endeavoured to "skim the cream" off the heavier and, to some, drier problems of numismatology, and to present in acceptable "popular" form the more interesting facts which should be known to every collector.Among the branches of study touched upon are those associated with the coins of the ancients most prominent in European history. The beauties of Greek coins and Roman medallions are strongly in evidence. The dawn of civilization as seen in the early currency of Britain is pointed out, and step by step the story of the coinage of Great Britain and her dependencies--the Greater Britain beyond the Seas--is unfolded.Recognizing not only that the blood-relationship of the freeborn sons of American soil makes the coinage of the old world which their forefathers handled interesting to them, but that the coins used by dwellers in the United States and in Canada are valued by English collectors, I have given prominence to American currencies.The British regal coinage has so frequently been supplemented by token issues, which have for a time become a part of the national currency, that I have included in "Chats on Old Coins" a few chapters on tokens.

One thing I miss about drinking is hanging out in bars.
For years my wife and I resisted owning a television, so I would use my local bar like the family room, and go there to watch sports on TV. My wife used to tell me with pride that during the summer months, when the windows were open at my local, the bartenders would see her walking by on her way home and shout greetings to her outside, whether I was at the bar or not.
My local bar was Peter McManus over on 7th Avenue and 19th Street in Manhattan. It's an Irish place with worn banquettes and stools and an old, beat-up bar complete with a fish tank and photographs of family and patrons going back for generations.

April 9, 2012
Columbia, Mo. - A full plate of activities for all ages is planned for this Saturday in Columbia, in association with the annual spring football game.
The headline event on Saturday, April 14th, is the Black & Gold Spring Game, which is set for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. The scrimmage will bring the 2012 spring practice period to a close. Admission to the scrimmage is just $3, or three canned food items, which benefit The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. Collection bins will be located at all west-side stadium entrances (no admittance or seating on the east side of the stadium). Tickets can be purchased at the stadium beginning at 10:30 a.m. on game day at the ticket office located on the north side of the stadium.
At halftime of the game on Saturday, the much-anticipated new Nike uniforms for five Mizzou teams will be unveiled, including football, men's basketball, women's basketball, soccer and volleyball. Fans can also purchase merchandise featuring the new look at the Tiger Team Store after halftime.
The Black & Gold Spring Game, including the halftime 4-14-12 uniform unveiling, will be streamed live on the Mizzou Network to subscribers.
Prior to the scrimmage, fans of all ages are invited to check out the Fan Zone on the North Concourse of the stadium. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., and running until kickoff, the Fan Zone will feature a fun mix of free interactive games, activities and exhibits for children and adults. A sampling includes pictures with Truman the Tiger and the Helmet Car, face painting, inflatable games and much more.
For the bargain hunters out there, the Tiger Team Store will be holding its popular spring sale at the Memorial Stadium store. The sale, which features 25-80% off Mizzou gear, as well as authentic game-worn jerseys and other equipment room items from all sports, runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, April 13th, and again from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, April 14th.
Parking for the spring game is open and free to the public, with the exception of Lot S, located behind the south endzone stands, and Lot B, located at the northeast corner of the stadium, will be the primary disability friendly lot. All other lots around the stadium complex are open for fan parking.
Other events taking place Saturday on the Mizzou campus include exciting action with the top-10 Mizzou Softball team against Texas Tech (2:00 p.m. at University Field), as well as the Tom Botts Invitational hosted by Mizzou Track & Field (10 a.m. at Walton Stadium).

Anything that brings the bikes closer together on race day is a good thing. I think Honda know this and are just posturing.
What Honda want is to build the best bike and win races. That is the idea of the premier class.

So Honda are upset because they won't be able to develop their own anti-wheelie and tc systems. So when might we see a new Blade with this technology i.e. one capable of competing with the likes of the S1000rr, RSV4 & ZX10R. Not everyone can afford 40k for a RSV road bike.

I am sure the Big H could of put TC and anti wheelie onto their Blade years ago, but decided a smoother engine, a more pure ride was the better option. I have a Blade and along with the bike press, agree that it is the best road ride bike out there. I've riden lots of different bikes (owned and demo'd) and nothing comes close on the road. How much full throttle do you actually use on your bike (if its a thou) on the road? Hardly ever I guess and therefore TC is a gimmick. How many racing starts do you do away from the traffic lights? Anti wheelie needed? I don't think so.
Since when does a road bike need all of that crap? It's brilliant for the track and if you race a bike, buy a race bike. There is far to much technology being thrown onto bikes these days and although brilliant technology and a real progress is being made, we are going against what motorcycling is all about. No one buys a bike because they are safe and practical. We buy bikes because they are raw, fast, stupid, loud and can spit you off at the blink of an eye. It's like owning an elephant, stupid but also wonderful!

An extra three litres of fuel on board and a lot of the electronics wouldn't be needed. It's a dangerous sport Carmello, stop trying to sanitise it just because someone happens to go to the great beyond. We all end up there sooner or later, and to be honest the danger is a great deal of what makes it interesting.
"I think we have to try it and to see if we still have the same security on the bike. Because now we avoid a lot of crashes, especially highsides, and maybe with the standard electronics the bike is a bit more dangerous. Because now, the bikes are more powerful, we have more than 250 horsepower, so we have to be careful of these things." - Lorenzo yesterday, talking about the new control ECU.

I know you were expecting a message from Dorothy Schultz, but unforeseen circumstances appeared during the summer, and Dorothy had to step down as President. As Vice President, I am currently Acting President, and I hope that Dorothy is able to return to office soon. I also wish Dorothy and her husband, Ed, a speedy resolution to all issues.
On a sad note, our long-time member and stalwart champion of conservation, Grace Stock, died in August. Grace, shown left in a 2013 photo, was 99 years old, and had served in many positions for Audubon, locally and at the state level. Her son is planning a memorial service and will publish the details in the local newspaper. I will also be sure to post the information on our Facebook Page and Web site when information is available.
Here is some great news to start the season! Bud Adams, right, has generously sponsored our newsletter for a year! He will also provide a gorgeous bird photograph for inclusion in the newsletter. All of his subjects are residents of his ranch and beautiful to behold. Thank you, Bud Adams!

But how many times has Crosby hit the uprights and had the ball bounce back into the field of play? Too many times. Remember when he hit the crossbar in Washington last season and the Redskins went on to win the game in OT?
But getting back to the certainty that he will be back in Green Bay, we can all probably rest easy that General Manager Ted Thompson will pull the trigger on a deal to keep Crosby at home. It's not like solid kickers who has served a team well for years are easy to find. There are the journeymen, but I feel Thompson places too much importance on the special teams aspect of the game of football to allow Crosby to just walk away.
And the fact that it has remained quiet on the kicking front in Green Bay provides a quiet calm that indicates no major shakeups are being considered.

On a logical level I completely understand that Germany today is completely different from Germany in the 20th century. On a logical level I understand that Germans today are repentant and Germans also suffered under Hitler's regime. But at the same time, Germans should not be completely absolved - they were the ones who elected Hitler.
However, to me, the Holocause wan't so long ago. I grew up hearing about it, we were told the "war stories" at the dinner table and before we went to sleep. The Holocaust has always been part of my life. I know my grandparents' stories, how they suffered, how their parents and grandparents were tortured and murdered. I think it is most likely impossible for me to feel anything positive towards a country that in the recent past organised the systematic killing of 6 million of my people.
I think the most important thing for me to recognise about myself and for you to realise about me is that while I can differentiate on a logical level, I cannot on an emotional level. To me, Germany will still always be the country who murdered my family and organised the genocide of my people.

Nike Air Foamposite One "Fighter Jet" – Dissected
May 27th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 37 comments
It takes quite a bit of curiosity to tear open a pair of sneakers just for the sake of seeing what's inside. With that being said we're glad someone's doing it, as it's always cool to see the little bits that are hidden underneath the surface of these trainers we spend so much on. This time the Nike Air Foamposite One "Fighter Jet" is put under the knife, although this pair is noted to not be an authentic Nike product (so it's still interesting to see what's behind some of these well-done fakes). Of course they're not going to look any different than any other Nike Air Foamposite One underneath the skin but this is still a must-see if you're a Foamposite fan. Full photos after the jump so take a look and let us know if anything of note surprises you.

|Introduction and Product Specifications
While NVIDIA is marching forward with its DirectX 10 capable GeForce 8800 series, ATI is still mum on their next generation graphics cards. Which is somewhat surprising, as one would think this time of year would be ideal for new product announcements.
But while Vista is due for a broad release in January '07, games that fully exploit the features of DirectX 10 won't be commonplace for quite some time. The rest of the market is still full of great material that is OpenGL or DirectX 9-based leaving the current line of ATI graphics cards as a viable options for all but the most demanding of enthusiasts.
Today, we are going to evaluate two cards from ASUS built around ATI's X1950 GPU. The first graphics card is the EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M which comes with an X1950XTX GPU and 512MB of GDDR4 memory for the best performance ATI currently has to offer. The next model is a slightly scaled down EAX1950PRO/HTDP/256M which brings a more affordable mid-range solution with an X1950Pro at the core and 256MB of GDDR3 memory. In the pages ahead, we're going to assess the overall features and performance of each card and then weigh in with our opinion on Asus two latest ATI-centric creations. Aside from DirectX 10 support, these cards pack a punch in more way than one, so let's get started.
EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M Retail Package
The bundle that complements the EAX1950CrossFire includes a multilingual SpeedSetUP manual for basic installation and setup of the card. The manual was a bit generic, not covering proper cable installation in CrossFire configurations, which was surprising. The package also included a six pole PCI-Express power adapter that marries up with two molex outputs from the PSU. Two disks were provided, one including drivers and other utilities, while the other included an electronic manual. Two full version games were included as well, namely Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter and Project Snowblind. For HDTV output, a DVI to YPrPb adapter is included while a DVI to Analog adapter is offered for those without a DVI ready monitor. Last is a CD booklet to hold the included CDs with room for several more as well.
EAX1950PRO/HTDP/256M Retail Package
The bundle that accompanied the EAX1950Pro included the same SpeedSetUP manual, CD case and power cord as the X1950CrossFire. We also found a pair of CDs including drivers, utilities and an electronic manual. There was a DVI to VGA adapter and, for HDTV support, an HDTV-Out cable adapter. With this model, no retail games were included at all, which was a mild disappointment. The Utilities CDs for both cards included such proprietary titles as ASUS Splendid for enhanced video playback quality, ASUS Video Security Online for remote monitoring of your home via a webcam, ASUS Game LiveShow for streaming gameplay to share with others, ASUS Game Replay for recording and playing back gameplay, ASUS Game FaceMessenger for IMing in-game, and ASUS OnScreenDisplay for fine tuning screen options during gameplay.
|Close Up: ASUS EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M
A the heart of the EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M is a Radeon X1950XTX GPU, which is manufactured at 90nm, and sports 48 Pixel Shaders that support Shader Model 3.0. The GPU also features 8 Vertex shaders as well as 16 Texture Units. The GPU comes clocked at 650MHz and is backed by 512MB of GDDR4 memory clocked at 1GHz (2GHz DDR) with a 256-bit interface.
The rear of the PCI Express x16 card is equipped with a 6 pin PCI Express power head for supplemental power. As this is a Crossfire Master card, the front edge of the EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M comes with one DVI port and a CrossFire connection to be used with the dongle included in the package. The maximum rated resolution is 2048x1536 with support for HDCP as well as HDTV output via a DVI to YPrPb adapter.
Keeping the card cool is an oversized two slot cooler that is copper based with a blower type fan that accesses air directly off the rear of the case for the best possible air flow across the card. The heat sink spans the GPU and memory to help cool all components on the card.
|Close Up: ASUS EAX1950PRO/HTDP/256M
The EAX1950PRO/HTDP/256M is a PCI Express Radeon X1950 Pro based card that is powered by the R570 GPU. With the EAX1950PRO/HTDP/256M, the GPU sports 36 Pixel shaders and 12 Texture units compared to the X1950XTX's 48/16 complement. The EAX1950PRO supports SM 3.0 technology and is equipped with 8 Vertex Shaders as well. The core comes clocked at 581MHz and it's teamed with 256MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 700MHz (1.4GHz DDR).
Unlike the EAX1950CrossFire, the EAX1950PRO is a Dual DVI-I solution and comes with a discreet compositing engine integrated into the GPU, eliminating the need for a dongle or master card to support CrossFire. The card supports a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 and offers TV/HDTV Out and Video-In support via S-Video port located between the DVI-I ports. Like the EAX1950CrossFire, the EAX1950PRO card also supports HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content), although monitors and software must also support this feature in order to take full advantage of this technology.
Like the EAX1950CrossFire model, the EAX1950PRO also requires supplemental power via a 6 pin PCI Express power adapter, which is positioned at the center of the card. This may pose a problem for some with cases that have the hard drives mounted directly behind the card. Lastly, ASUS outfitted the EAX1950PRO with an elegant white and black cooler that doesn't require a second PCI slot to be occupied. The cooler utilizes a heat pipe design to help draw heat away from the GPU and Memory and is very quiet in our experience.
|Performance Comparisons with Half Life 2: Lost Coast
As with all tests in this review, we've added the results from a GeForce 7900GTX. In our Half-Life 2: Lost Coast testing, the EAX1950CrossFire posted the best results, leading the 7900GTX by over 5 FPS at 1280x1024 and 9 FPS at 1600x1200. The EAS1950Pro was almost an exact inverse, trailing the 7900GTX by 6 and 10 FPS respectively.
|Performance Comparisons with 3DMark06 v1.1.0
With the "default" 3DMark06 test, the EAX1950CrossFire and GeForce 7900GTX tracked very closely, with the EAX1950CrossFire holding a lead of 56 points. SM 2.0 testing leaned in favor of the 7900GTX, as it led the EAX1950CrossFire by 154 points while SM 3.0 testing swung back in favor of the EAX1950CrossFire by 175 points. In all three tests the EAX1950Pro trailed the other two cards, predictably.
|Performance Comparisons with F.E.A.R
At a 1280x960 screen resolution, the EAX1950CrossFire and GeForce 7900GTX were virtually tied while the EAX1950Pro trailed by 14 FPS. When the resolution was increased to 1600x1200, the EAX1950CrossFire dropped 12 FPS, the EAX1950Pro dropped 15 FPS and the GeForce 7900GTX registered the biggest hit at 17 FPS.
|Performance Comparisons with Prey
Our custom Prey timedemo proved to be a strong point for the EAX1950CrossFire. In this test, the GeForce 7900GTX registered a more distant second than seen thus far, averaging a 9 FPS difference at both resolutions. The EAX1950Pro trailed the EAX1950CrossFire by close to 20 FPS at both resolutions while trailing the GeForce 7900GTX by 9 FPS.
|Performance Comparisons with Quake 4
With our Quake 4 test, the EAX1950Pro once again trailed the EAX1950CrossFire by an average of 20 FPS at both 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions. The GeForce 7900GTX held a 16 FPS lead over the EAX1950Pro at 1280x1024 and 13 FPS lead at 1600x1200. The GeForce 7900GTX trailed the EAX1950CrossFire by 4 FPS at 1280x1024 with that margin growing to 8 FPS at 1600x1200.
|Overclocking EAX1950CROSSFIRE & EAX1950PRO
For our next set of performance metrics, we spent a little time overclocking the EAX1950CrossFire and EAX1950Pro to see what kind of extra horsepower could be found in each model.
With the EAX1950CrossFire, we managed to hit a peak GPU speed of 722MHz, a gain of 74MHz while the memory gave us an additional 100MHz. The EAX1950Pro, however, was less generous. The EAX1950Pro's GPU peaked at 614MHz, an increase of 33MHz, while the memory would not tolerate even the slightest of increases in our testing. Nonetheless, both cards registered measurable gains with their overclocked settings, with the EAX1950CrossFire adding 12 FPS at 1280x1024 and 19 FPS at 1600x1200. The EAX1950Pro was less exciting, adding an average of 3 FPS at both resolutions.
|Performance Summary and Final Comments
Performance Summary: The EAX1950CrossFire and EAX1950Pro both performed as we expected. The EAX1950CrossFire competed on about the same level as an NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX. The more affordable EAX1950Pro trailed the two cards as expected by consistent margins in all tests.
While ATI is still working out their first DirectX 10 offering, they've shown they still have some viable options in the DirectX 9 arena. The EAX1950CrossFire is the equipped with an X1950XTX GPU and 512MB of GDDR4 memory, making it the most powerful ATI-based graphics card at this time. In each test, the EAX1950CroosFire competed on about the same level as our reference GeForce 7900GTX. The retail bundle was excellent, with two games and the necessary cables, dongles and software to successfully install the card with minimal fuss. The printed documentation was a bit generic in our opinion, omitting any mention of proper CrossFire cable set up. On an up note, overclocking was excellent, with the EAX1950CrossFire posting measurable gains in our tests. We were also impressed with the looks of the card, with its fire engine red cooler which sported a hefty copper heat sink
Overall, we have mixed feelings about the EAX1950CrossFire. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to recommend a DirectX 9 based card with Windows Vista and DX10 arriving next month. And in the current market, this card is too pricey at about $495. The non-Master version of this card is a bit cheaper at around $435, but with the GeForce 8800 GTS available for less, it's hard to get excited about the EAX1950CrossFire. Asus obviously put together a really nice bundle, but it doesn't offset its higher pricer tag.
The EAX1950Pro was a strong mid-range graphics card that delivered solid performance in all of our tests. The EAX1950Pro brings dongle-free crossfire to the mix in a single slot package. Overclocking proved to be a weak point with this particular card and the retail package was nothing too flashy, lacking any real extras such as a full retail game.
With a price of about $184, the EAX1950Pro offers a nice price to performance ratio. While the performance results with this card expectedly trailed the two high-end cards, the deltas were relatively small considering the price differences between each model. On average, we saw differences of roughly 15-20 FPS when compared to the X1950XTX. With that said, is it worth the performance hit to save close to $300? We suspect for some of you it may very well be. If you're an ATI fan and can't bring yourself to shell out close to $500 for an Asus XTX, it may be wiser to pick up two EAX1950Pros and walk away with a little extra cash left over to buy the next game on your wish list.

What a difference a week makes. The OKC Barons latest victim, the Lake Erie Monsters, who, within a span of 11 days, have completed the season series, with a 2-2 split. The AHL schedule shouldnt catch anyone off guard, teams play only inter-conference games with the majority of those being of the back to back variety to limit costs, after all, this is the reason Jordan Eberle, RNH & the like are making only 60k/yr to play minor-pro.
The game on Oct 23 vs the Monsters was a coming out party of sorts (at this level anyway) for Eberle & RNH, who with Teemu Hartakainen racked up a combined 8pts between them, not too shabby. Justin Schultz has continued his amazing pace by adding a couple of assists along the way to collecting AHL Player of the week honors. Schultz has 9pts on the season to lead the team in pts. Magnus Paarjarvi collected an apple along the way to a 5-3 Barons win.
What should excite Oilers fans the most is that every player who tallied points in this victory will be looked at to carry the load for the big club, whenever that happens. Schultz has shown a great ability to shoot the puck from everywhere while being teamed with highly touted Slovak prospect, Martin Marincon. Schultz' skating looks to be NHL caliber & the way he rushes the puck reminds me a lot of a young Paul Coffey, I did say looks like. With Taylor Hall set to join the team shortly, the under 500 crowds should be in for quite a treat, even if its just for a little while & if nothing else this chapter should help elevate their overall play against strong competition so once the NHL is back in action, these kids will be alright.

The Braves worked quickly on International signing day to lock down their fist choice prospect. Baseball America's Ben Badler is reporting that the Braves signed their rumored prioritty prospect, 16-year-old Venezuelan third baseman Juan Yepez. The 6' 195 pound teenager is said to have quick hands and a nice balanced swing that offers some pop.
Yepez has reportedly worked hard to get in better shape and improve his arm but scouts are split on whether he will stay at third base. Ricardo Petit, brother of Braves Latin American assistant director Rolando Petit, who trained shortstop Jose Peraza and Victor Reyes also trained Yepez No word yet on the size of his bonus but as I wrote yesterday it was rumored they were willing to set a team record by offering him their first 7 digit bonus.
