Within the huge and fascinating field of Web development, one of the most common tasks that many applications have to deal with is, undoubtedly, verifying whether a user email address is valid. Certainly, this should sound very familiar to most Web developers, whether they are setting up their first consciously-coded script or implementing full-blown applications required to handle more complex processes. Whatever the case, validating a visitor's email address to see if it belongs to a real domain is always a good step to help you avoid, at least partially, several possible problems that arise when applications are receiving incoming bogus data. From cluttering up databases with invalid information, to sending newsletters or similar content to email addresses at nonexistent domains, headaches are surely going to come up from receiving fake email.
Several approaches can be taken to address the problem, depending on the level of complexity desired for the validation itself. If the application is going to make use of a basic level of validation, a quick-and-dirty way to handle the situation might be to implement a simple PHP function that performs pattern matching to a standardized email address format, as we have seen many times. However, when a deeper and more complex validation is required, we should take a look at well-trusted validation classes, such as Pear's HTML_Quick Form class, or many other validation classes widely available out there.
The third option involves writing our own set of functions for in-deep email address checking, which can be considered an intermediate solution between the two above described. This approach is versatile and portable enough to be used whether we want to expand basic validating functions or add extra functionality to existing classes.
In this article, we'll develop a reusable step-by-step solution to validate a user's email address as accurately as possible, in an attempt to save some work the next time an application needs to check for email validity. The process will show the power of some interesting PHP built-in network functions, as well as demonstrate how to reduce noticeably the possibilities of dirtying our applications with user-supplied bogus email.
{mospagebreak title=Validating the proper format of an email address}
The first step to validating an email address is to check whether it is in the standard format. If you're a seasoned programmer, feel free to skip over this description. However, for the sake of giving a complete explanation, we're going to begin by defining the first checking function, which takes advantage of PHP's built-in support for regular expressions:
function checkEmail($email) {
if (!preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] +)+$/" , $email)) {
return false;
return true;
Nothing unexpected, right? The simplistic checkEmail() function validates the format of a user's email address by encoding its standardized format in a regular expression. The preg_match() PHP built-in function looks for matches to the email pattern, given the string $email passed as a parameter. If matches are found, the function will return true. Otherwise, it will return false. It's a very simple concept, really.
A bit of analysis clearly shows that many invalid email addresses passed as an argument will still match this regular expression. This will result in the function returning true, and considering the addresses as valid data. Though it may be impossible to catch all of the email addresses this way, performing validation routines on the format itself can improve our overall checking process.
Since this function on its own is insufficient for checking whether an email address is valid, we need to look for other ways of improving the validation process. The next step is to check whether an email address corresponds to a real domain by making sure there is a domain registration record for the domain that the user entered. How we achieve that is the subject of the next section.
{mospagebreak title=Validating email domains with checkdnsrr()}
In order to check whether a user's email address actually corresponds to a real domain, we should search for the proper domain records in the DNS. By doing so, we're making sure that the supplied email address belongs to an existing domain. To do this, we can use a couple of PHP lookup functions that come in handy for addressing these problems.
The checkdnsrr() function checks DNS records corresponding to a given Internet host name or IP address. It searches the DNS for records of a specific type corresponding to the given host, returning true if any records are found, or returning false if no records are found or if an error occurs.
It has the following format:
int checkdnsrr ( string host [, string type]) ;
The function accepts the following types of records: A, MX, NS, SOA, PTR, CNAME, or ANY, with MX (Mail Exchange) as the default type. So, if no type is provided, the function will search MX records for the given host. In our case, we need to look for MX records according to the host provided within the email address. Therefore, it's pretty easy to code a new function, which will take care of checking the existence of the corresponding MX entries for a given host. Let's write the function to do that:
function checkEmail($email) {
if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] +)+$/" , $email)){
if(!checkdnsrr($domain,'MX')) {
return false;
return true;
return false;
The above function accepts a string as an email parameter for checking whether it fits the proper format, and whether the domain is real. In order to obtain the domain part, we split the email address into the username and domain sections, respectively, using the PHP's split() function, as listed below:
Now, the $domain variable stores the corresponding domain. Since we're interested only in this, all we need to do is pass it in as a parameter for the PHP chekdnsrr() function to determine whether it's a real domain. It will look for the Mail Exchange record in the DNS (remember that the default type is MX), and return true if a MX record is found, which shows that the address displays a valid email domain. If the function returns false, the email domain is not valid. Obviously, an email address that displays a real email domain doesn't necessarily imply that the user name is valid. We have a big challenge ahead.
Once we have defined the new function, we could call it this way, assuming that we have an incoming email address from a POST form:
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
if(!checkEmail($email)) {
echo 'Invalid email address!';
else {
echo 'Email address is valid';
Our function is very easy to implement and powerful enough to handle the problem of verifying that we're dealing with an existing domain. However, as stated in the PHP manual, the checkdnsrr() function is not implemented on Windows platforms. It would be useful to have a version that works on Windows for those developers building applications to be executed on Windows servers.
There are some workarounds to deal with this. Most of these involve writing a custom version of the checkdnsrr() function. So let's move on and write some code for this Windows-based function.
{mospagebreak title=Customizing checkdnsrr() for Windows}
The customCheckDnsrr() function is a classical solution for implementing the desired functionality of checkdnsrr() on a Windows platform; it is extensively used across numerous scripts. The code for our new function is as follows:
function customCheckDnsrr($host,$recType=") {
if(!empty($host)) {
if($recType==") $recType="MX";
exec("nslookup -type=$recType $host",$output);
foreach($output as $line) {
if(preg_match("/^$host/", $line)) {
return true;
return false;
return false;
Our version of the checkdnsrr() function works by making a system call, available in Windows systems, known as nslookup. It resembles the chekdnsrr() functionality, and is very useful for achieving the same results. We make use of the nslookup function by invoking the PHP exec() function, which is one of the several methods for executing a system command in PHP. The result of the command is stored as an array in the $output parameter.
When the nslookup function is executed, it searches the corresponding entry in the DNS for the given domain. If the result is successful, the output is similar to the following lines:
Server: ns1.infoar.net
Address: 22.214.171.124
calop.com.ar MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.infoar.net
To determine whether a proper mail handler for that domain exists, the function iterates over each line of the output by searching for the line that begins with the provided host name. If the line is found, then the function will return true. Otherwise, it will return false.
Here's the code for using our customCheckDnsrr() function:
function checkEmail($email) {
if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( .[a-zA-Z0-9_-] +)+$/" , $email)){
return false;
return true;
return false;
The snippet is almost identical to the one using checkdnsrr(). It has only been replaced with the customized function, previously defined.
So far, we have a working function to be properly implemented under Windows platforms. Similarly, we might replace checkdnsrr() with PHP's getmxrr() within our checkEmail() function. Let's see this new alternative to determine the validity of an email address' domain in more detail.
{mospagebreak title=Using getmxrr() for validation}
It's possible to use the getmxrr() PHP function to achieve email domain validation similar to that obtained with checkdnsrr(). This function gets MX records corresponding to a given Internet host name and has the following format:
int getmxrr ( string hostname, array mxhosts [, array weight]);
It searches the DNS for MX records corresponding to the given host name. It returns true if any records are found and returns false if no records are found or if an error occurs.
A list of the MX records found is placed into the array mxhosts. If the weight array is given, it will be filled with the weight information gathered.
Having presented this network function, it's easily deducible that we could rewrite our checkEmail() function utilizing getmxrr() instead of checkdnsrr() to validate email domains. The revamped version is listed below:
function checkEmail($email) {
if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] +)+$/" , $email)){
if(!getmxrr ($domain,$mxhosts)){
return false;
return true;
return false;
And we call it in the following manner:
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
if(!checkEmail($email)) {
echo 'Invalid email address!';
else {
echo 'Email address is valid';
This code looks very similar to the previous example using checkdnsrr(). The only subtle difference lies in that we have wrapped getmxrr() into the checkEmail() function. It's a simple but powerful solution. As we can appreciate, the set of PHP network functions is an invaluable tool for validating email domains.
So far, we have defined individual functions to first, validate the proper format for an email address, and next, check whether the email domain is a real domain. From a strict point of view, this solution is still incomplete, because we really don't know if the given user name is valid. How can this issue be addressed properly?
Actually, there is no direct way to do that. However, a fairly handy approach to help us see whether we are dealing with a valid user name might show us whether the email domain is currently in use. In that way, we can be somewhat more certain (but never completely) that someone is using that domain to send and receive email messages. This might brings us to the conclusion that the given user name is potentially valid. Let's move to the next section to find out how we can determine this with a little extra work.
{mospagebreak title=Empowering validation with fsockopen()}
In order to find out whether an email domain is really in use, we're going to take advantage of PHP's fsockopen() function, which is used to open domain socket connections over the Internet. This serves our purposes handily, since we might try opening a socket connection to the mail server identified with the given domain. If the socket connection is successfully opened, then the supplied domain is currently in use.
The format for fsockopen() is the following:
int fsockopen ( string hostname, int port [, int errno [, string errstr [, float timeout]]]);
The function, when used for Internet domains, will open a TCP socket connection to the provided host name on the supplied port, and return a file pointer corresponding to that host. If the call fails, it will return false, and if the optional errno and errstr arguments are present, they will be set to indicate the actual system level error that occurred while performing the call. The optional timeout parameter can be used to set a timeout in seconds for the connect system call.
Having taken a look at what this function does, it's feasible to open a socket connection on port 25 (the default port for SMPT servers) to the given domain for a user's email address in the following manner:
If(!fsockopen($domain,25,$errno,$errstr,30)) {
return false;
Here we're trying to open a socket connection to the provided domain on port 25, setting a timeout of 30 seconds for the connection. If the connection is successfully established, the function will return true, which means that the SMTP server is up and running, the email domain is real and, hopefully, there is a valid user for that domain. If the connection fails, the function will return false, either indicating that the domain is not being used, at least for the moment that we attempted to open the socket connection. As you can easily guess, there might be several reasons for a failed result. Even if the user was valid, the mail server might be down, our system might be having its own problems, or other difficulties inherent to any network process might exist.
Anyway, our rough attempt to enhance the validation process is still a valid effort worth considering. Here's the checkEmail() function with the new enhancements:
function checkEmail($email) {
// checks proper syntax
if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9._-] +)+$/" , $email)) {
// gets domain name
// checks for if MX records in the DNS
if(!checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX')) {
return false;
// attempts a socket connection to mail server
if(!fsockopen($domain,25,$errno,$errstr,30)) {
return false;
return true;
return false;
And the code to call the function is listed as follows:
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
if(!checkEmail($email)) {
echo 'Invalid email address!';
else {
echo 'Email address is valid';
We have taken a considerable step forward to improve the validation routines within our function.
To explain what we did step-by-step: once the email address is passed to the function, it is first validated to make sure it matches the regular expression. If the validation is successful, then the address is divided to obtain the email domain.
Then, the function checks whether the domain is real, looking for MX records in the DNS. Again, if the records are found, the next step is to open a socket connection for that domain on port 25, to determine whether the given domain is in use. If the connection is successful, we're pretty sure that the email address corresponds to a real domain, which is currently in use, and the user name is potentially valid.
Any checking process that returns false, will evaluate the function as false too, terminating it, therefore indicating that the supplied email address is not valid.
Finally we've successfully reached our objective, with a few lines of PHP code. Not too bad, huh?
As with many other user data, email addresses are certainly pretty hard to validate. We're not completely sure that what a visitor is giving us is valid input. However, as reviewed in this article, using several powerful PHP network functions combined is a great way to make the validation process a relatively painless task. Additionally, we've taken an instructive approach for some other concepts, such as working with lookup functions and sockets, even though we only scratched their surfaces. Thus, the next time you need to implement email verification in your PHP applications, don't forget these invaluable tools. They're really worthwhile.

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Melissa Block. On a hot summer night, you can't beat a cold treat. With that in mind, hundreds - often thousands - of people flock each night to a small custard stand in St. Louis, Missouri. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard has become a tradition and a point of regional pride. Ryan Famuliner of member station KBIA takes us on a summer night out in St. Louis.
RYAN FAMULINER, BYLINE: It's just after 9:00 on a Friday night and there are so many people lined up at Ted Drewes, it looks like the place must be giving something away. There are about 100 people here standing in front of the shop's 12 service windows.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN 1: All right. Ready? One, two, three, go.
FAMULINER: Some teenage girls are taking pictures underneath the old-fashioned glowing neon sign out front. Ted Drewes opened this location along Route 66 in 1941.
JAMIE KING: We have a '67 Mustang and, after every soccer game, baseball game, we would come here in the back of the Mustang. So I've been coming here, pretty much, 34 years.
FAMULINER: That's back when Jamie King(ph) was a kid. She's bringing her kids now.
KING: You got ice cream in your nose again.
FAMULINER: Her son, Miles, is a fan of the custard, too.
MILES KING: Beautiful thing I ever tasted.
FAMULINER: It's a good choice, isn't it?
KING: Yes.
KING: It's a family tradition and we bring everybody here that we have come visit us. So, and of course, my brother - every time he flies in - he's a pilot for Comair, so every time he flies in here, he puts some on dry ice and flies it back home.
FAMULINER: At each of the 12 windows, workers in matching yellow t-shirts take orders and relay them to two more people inside, a three-person team on each window. There's not much dawdling here. The natives know what they want and get down to business, like Carol and Don Kitzmiller, who brought their granddaughter, Madeline.
CAROL KITZMILLER: Cindermint is named after his daughter. It's peppermint and custard.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN 2: Johnny Rabbit. It's cherries and chocolate.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: Blueberry, banana, chocolate chips.
FAMULINER: Is that on the menu or is that something you created?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 1: No, you can just ask for whatever you want, you know.
FAMULINER: Ted Drewes general manager, Travis Dillon, says weekend nights are always really busy, but tonight, there are some special events in town, too - a concert, a game, shows and more.
TRAVIS DILLON: Probably two or three thousand people would walk through here from opening to close, but that's the fun part, though, you know, because we're here and we're expecting that crowd.
FAMULINER: As it pushes past 10:00, the crowd is suddenly color-coordinated. Everyone seems to be wearing red. They've just made the 10-mile trek from Bush Stadium after watching a St. Louis Cardinals game. People don't just get their ice cream and leave. They hang around and talk, sit on benches, on their tailgate or the curb in front of a neighboring business.
Shannon McCollough met some friends who just came from the game.
SHANNON MCCOLLOUGH: When we moved here, we were told that you're really a St. Louisan if you see somebody you know at Ted Drewes. And I can't remember if it took a year or two years, but at about that time point, we ran into somebody we knew at Ted Drewes, so we knew we were really St. Louisans.
FAMULINER: As it gets closer to 11:00, 18-year-old Taylor Schultz and six of her friends, fresh high school graduates in their sundresses, ended their night at Ted Drewes. They walked across the street to find a spot to sit in front of a poster store.
TAYLOR SCHULTZ: I think it's really fun to people watch at Ted Drewes. St. Louis is a really big family community and we all come together for certain things. Like, if you say Ted Drewes, everybody knows about it. Everybody has their own favorite ice cream. It's just something that connects us all.
FAMULINER: It's around 11:30 now and the windows start closing. Workers are cleaning up, trying to leave no sign of that huge crowd, but tomorrow, there will be another crowd and more empty yellow paper cups. For NPR News, I'm Ryan Famuliner in St. Louis, Missouri. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

When the Eagles built a 3-1 record via a trio of close wins that could have easily gone the other way, Philly fans didn't think their team was getting enough credit.
Five straight losses later, the Eagles were in hindsight getting too much credit.
But while the bulk of the blame will go to coach Andy Reid, it's not yet a given that owner Jeffrey Lurie will fire the 14-year coach. If the Eagles fail to show improvement down the stretch, it will be. But if there's an uptick, Lurie could decide to give Reid another chance.
Forgotten in the notorious "8-8 will get Reid fired" press conference from Lurie was the asterisk he applied for a rash of injuries. A rash of injuries on the offensive line has contributed to the poor performance of the team.
Also, keep in mind the notion that Lurie will want the team to be desirable to a new coach. With no franchise quarterback, a looming cap problem in 2013, a nucleus of players that is getting closer to (and above) 30, and a not-so-hot drafts in 2010 and 2011, a coach with options may opt not to come to Philly.
And so Lurie still may opt to keep Reid. The key could be coaxing the kind of performance from rookie quarterback Nick Foles to make Lurie believe that the team's interests will be best served by keeping Reid around.
Again, the chances of that happening are shrinking every week. But while the fans and the media are presuming it's a done deal, Reid's still not done yet.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

Miami Marlins
Miami Marlins continue roster revamp, deal Justin Ruggiano to Cubs for outfielder
Not a day went by during professional baseball's Winter Meetings when the Marlins failed to make some kind of move, be it a trade or free agent signing, and Thursday was no exception.
The Marlins wrapped up what was an active week for them by trading outfielder Justin Ruggiano to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Brian Bogusevic. It was effectively a swap of backup outfielders.
"Really, Bogusevic is a younger version of Ruggiano just in terms of their skill sets," said Michael Hill, the Marlins' president of baseball operations.
"He can play all three outfield positions and will fill the role that we had identified for Ruggiano."
And that role was to serve as a backup to a starting outfield trio of Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna.
Only the Marlins didn't want to spend the approximately $1.5 million Ruggiano is projected to receive in arbitration on a player coming off the bench.
Bogusevic will likely cost the Marlins little more than the league minimum of $500,000.
"It just allows us to reallocate those dollars," Hill said of the difference in salary between the two players. "Given the fact we're going to go with the kids in the outfield as everyday players, we didn't want to allocate dollars that we had in that role on Ruggiano. We wanted to spend it elsewhere."
Hill also said that the Marlins "felt like Ruggiano's power probably wouldn't play out as well in a reserve role. So we wanted to get a more functional bat."
Bogusevic, a former first-round draft pick, bats left-handed, is a career .236 hitter in four seasons with the Astros and Cubs.
"Defensively, he's a solid average defender, if not the same as Ruggiano, maybe a tick better," Hill said.
The Ruggiano trade came one day after the Marlins dealt first baseman Logan Morrison to Seattle for right-handed reliever Carter Capps. The trade is contingent on the completion of physicals. Morrison traveled to Seattle on Thursday for his physical exam.
There was little down time for the Marlins during the annual gathering of baseball's movers and shakers. They brought in catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia for an introductory press conference Monday and announced the signing of free agent first baseman Garrett Jones on Tuesday.
The Marlins also have signed veteran infielder Rafael Furcal to help bolster a last-place team that lost 100 games this past season.
The Marlins are still trying to acquire a third baseman.
"We still have work to do," Hill said. "I think we've done a lot to re-shape our roster and to prepare us for 2014. Are we finished? No. But I think we've changed the look of this roster from 2013 and added pieces that we think will help us win more games in '14."
Hill said he is especially pleased that the Marlins have not had to dip into their "inventory of starting pitching" as trade pieces, at least not yet.

Rams Win First-Ever Skyline Conference Championship
#1 Farmingdale State - 67, #2 Mount Saint Mary - 58
Farmingdale, N.Y. – The Farmingdale State
women's basketball team defeated Mount Saint Mary College,
67-58, to win the programs first-ever Skyline Conference
Championship. With the victory, the Rams broke the Blue Knights'
10-year Championship streak and received the Skyline
Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III
Farmingdale State (25-1) fell behind early and trailed 23-14 midway through the first half. A 7-0 run over the next 5:05 pulled the Rams within one point at 23-22. The Blue Knights (22-5) answered with six straight points and took a 29-22 advantage into halftime.
Farmingdale trailed 53-50 with 5:33 remaining, until senior guard Kimberly Blakney (Brooklyn, N.Y./Benjamin Banneker) scored on a layup and converted at the free-throw line after being fouled. The Rams forced a turnover on the Blue Knight's next possession and senior guard Juanita Chappel (Brooklyn, N.Y./Grand Streer) hit one-of-two free-throws, giving Farmingdale their first lead of the game at 54-53.
The Rams trailed 57-56 with less than two minutes to play, before senior guard Kamaya Miller (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) hit a jumper to regain the lead. A missed shot by the Blue Knights followed by a Blakney free-throw, gave the Rams a 59-57 edge with 1:37 left on the clock.
Mount Saint Mary was fouled on their next trip down the floor, but missed both free-throws. Farmingdale increased the lead to four, 61-57, as Monah hit a long bank shot with two seconds remaining on the shot-clock and 48 seconds left in regulation. The Rams converted at the line over the final 30 seconds, earning the 67-58 win and the programs first-ever Skyline Conference title.
Blakney, who was named the Championship MVP, led Farmingdale with 16 points, seven rebounds, four blocked shots and three steals. Miller scored 11 points, had 11 rebounds and four steals, while Chappel pitched in with 11 points. Senior guard Tiffara Steward (Elmont, N.Y./Sewanhaka) scored 10, shooting 4-for-8 from the field for the Rams.
Mount Saint Mary was led by senior forward Shannon Sangster (Syracuse, N.Y./Bishop Ludden) who scored a team-high 12 points. Junior forward Jess Tice (Altamont, N.Y./Guilderland) tallied 11 in the loss for the Blue Knights.

I really like the title.
Whether there is god or not, it is OK for us to make mistakes - not only the first time, but many times, again and again ... until it works!
Small successes generate fulfillment and encourage more try and error.
Small failures build experience and resilience.
"R & D" is "Repeat and Duplicate". Only after successfully repeat previous experiments and duplicated results that we can start making small change which may or may not lead to improvement.
Aha moment is the sudden connection between seemingly unrelated concepts which give insight (or a different angle) to the solution of a problem. Again that means the concepts have been in our mind for a long time and the problem has persisted enough to recognise the significant of the sudden connection. Experience, experience!

Changelly Review
The problem with most traditional Cryptocurrency exchanges is the unavailability of sufficient trading pairs, leaving users with no choice but to resort to making multiple transactions to get their desired Cryptocurrency.
Changelly is a Cryptocurrency exchange that has been in operation since 2015, its creators aimed to eliminate the technical barriers associated with traditional trading platforms , by creating an easy to use service that works just as well as any traditional exchange.
I feel this relatively instant cryptocurrency exchange can be an easy way to invest in cryptocurrencies that are not offered at your current exchange by simply swapping one cryptocurrency for another in real time.
>>> Related Post Binance Review – Scam or Legit Bitcoin Exchange
The website is a cryptocurrency exchange site that is said to have, the best exchange rates, an intuitive interface and secure transactions. When it comes to exchanging cryptocurrencies, you might have heard of this Exchange in various forums (including the Reddit thread on Bitcoin ).
I noticed the exchange platform currently supports 50+ cryptocurrencies during my Changelly Review Reasearch
These include; Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Bytecoin (BCN), Monero (XMR), Digital Note (XDN), QuazarCoin (QCN), Dash (DASH), Dogecoin , Fantomcoin (FCN), Ethereum (ETH), NuBits (NBT), Dashcoin (DSH), Ripple (XRP), Nxt (NXT), Aeon (AEON), Radium (RADS), MaidSafeCoin (MAID), Factom (FCT), Synereo (AMP), Bitcoin Gold (BTCG), Verge, among many others.
I have used Coinbase, Kucoin and Binance in the past to exchange BTC into ETH and few other currencies, but in between that I heard about Changelly. So it got me curious enough to research both for myself but also to find out more for my readers.
It is evident that all exchanges between cryptocurrencies are processed at a flat rate of 0.5%. There has also been a concern if if a Exchange asks some users to verify their identity but here its not the case, this platform claims that no personal information is collected or asked of the platform's users.
Moreover, absence of dedicated wallet makes you a true master of your coins, since the platform serves only as a mediator between you and cryptocurrency exchange.

Advantages I found while researching this Changelly Review
– Location. This exchange is situated in Prague, yet acknowledges customers from everywhere throughout the world, including the USA.
– No points of confinement. Changelly does not have least or most extreme sum limits, with the exception of in not very many situations when is set a base sum that necessities to cover the system charge. This is very helpful both for the individuals who need to simply get their feet wet and for the individuals who need to trade substantial aggregates.
– Fiat monetary standards. This platform offers exchanging around 35 cryptographic forms of money for EUR or USD, which is a significant critical number of alt-coins. There are not all that numerous trades that offer this alternative – most ordinarily give exchanging choices to just the biggest digital forms of money against fiat monetary forms.
– Credit cards. Installments with Visa and MasterCard charge cards, which is to a great degree advantageous for the clients. Payments with a 3D-secure card from any nation and in any cash. In any case, exchanges will be changed over either to USD or EUR. The installment charge of installments accomplice Simplex is 5% and nothing else
– Fees. Changelly charges a 0.5% exchanging expense, which is genuinely sensible and inside the business normal.
– Anonymity. In the event that they so wish, customers can remain completely unknown while trading crypto-for-crypto. This Exchange additionally furnishes the choice to join with a G+, Facebook or Twitter account, or with an email. On the off chance that trading fiat for crypto, there is no full obscurity, as the charge card has a holder's name.
– Platform. This Exchange platform is amazingly simple to utilize, even by a tenderfoot dealer. The more experienced dealers, in any case, might be irritated by the absence of value diagrams and different devices and highlights, more often than not gave by the further developed exchanging stages.
I am of the feeling that This Exchange isn't focusing on the genuine dealers, yet rather individuals who are exchanging just once in a while. In this way, from a fledgling client's perspective, this platform is perfect.
– Tokens. Essentially similar to some different Exchanges, this platform acknowledges proposition for the consideration of other alt-coins.

[h3]Disadvantages I found while researching[/h3]
– Cryptocurrency for fiat. Changelly does not enable the transformation of digital money to fiat cash, however just the buy of alt-coins for fiat money.
– No PayPal. For now this exchange does not acknowledge installments through PayPal. Be that as it may, we'd say the acknowledgment of charge cards makes up for this.
– Credit Card limits. This exchange has however put a few limitations on the initial couple of exchanges with charge cards. They are the accompanying:
USA, Canada and Australia – $50 confine for the primary exchange, the following buy could be made in 4 days (100$ farthest point), $500 following 7 days of the principal purchase. Close to 3 installments inside the main week. No restrictions in a single month by any means.
CIS locale (Russia/Ukraine/Belarus/Kazakhstan/Armenia/Georgia) – $200 restrain for the principal exchange. As far as possible increment should be possible in 24 hours. As far as possible for the principal week is $2000 and for the main month is $10000.
EU and different nations – $100 restrict for the principal exchange, the following buy could be made in 4 days with 200$ farthest point. Also, $500 following 7 days of the main purchase. Close to 6 installments inside the principal week. No restrictions in a single month by any means.
Also, regularly the client bolster is exhausted and in some cases can't answer in an incitful way.
– Phishing. As per This Exchange and its own particular confirmations, their open API can be and is once in a while utilized for phishing tricks. They say they are dealing with settling the issue and advising the customers.
– Leverage. This Echchange does not offer utilized exchanging and this is very normal among the digital currency trades. There are a few, as Coinbase, Kucoin and Binance , who offer this sort of administration. There are likewise a significant number of forex merchants who are putting forth CFDs on a portion of the real cryptocurrencies for exchanging.
This Exchange is a swift cryptocurrency exchange platform that boasts of the best crypto-to-crypto rates on the market. Like is the norm with many cryptocurrency exchange platforms, you'll need an account for you to start trading. Changelly is a popular cryptocurrency exchange providing the ability to instantly and seamlessly exchange over 80 altcoins at the best market rate or buy them using a bank card.
For example, you might want to convert your BTC to EOS but since the exchange you use doesn't have the BTC/EOS trading pair you will have to convert your BTC to ETH before converting your ETH to EOS, and in both transactions, you will be charged fees.

Film and television production in North Carolina reached record-breaking numbers this year, which state officials say is due mostly to tax credit incentives for the industry that were introduced by the governor in 2010.
"It is amazing to see what has taken place the past two years in North Carolina," North Carolina Film Office Director Aaron Syrett said in a statement. He added, "We have one of the smartest incentives in the industry as it takes into account the wealth of resources our state offers including our well established infrastructure and diverse locations. North Carolina really is an ideal place for filmmakers."
Productions that spend at least $250,000 in the state receive a 25 percent refundable tax credit, encouraging Hollywood to make movies in the region and invest in local business and job creation.
Nearly 50 productions registered with the North Carolina Film Office and filmed in the state in 2012. According to year-end projections, these productions spent more than $376 million in the state and created more than 4,100 crew positions for local labor in 2012. (These record highs far exceed last year's $220 million in spending and 3,300 crew positions created, both of which set records in 2011.) Including roles for extras and background talent, the industry created nearly 20,000 jobs for North Carolinians overall this year.
"During my tenure, jobs have been my top priority and the enhanced film credit has resulted in thousands of opportunities for North Carolinians as well as created record spending by production companies in the state," Gov. Bev Perdue said in a statement. "The film industry is thriving once again in our state and we must continue to build on these record-breaking numbers, creating even more opportunities for jobs and economic development."
Since the North Carolina Film Office was created in 1980, more than 400 projects have filmed in the state, spending over $1 billion total and creating more than 70,000 jobs for actors and crew. "Iron Man 3" and the second season of Showtime's "Homeland" were filmed in North Carolina in 2012, as were "Safe Haven," "We're The Millers," NBC's "Revolution," and many more film and television productions.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Lee Coppola, dean of St. Bonaventure's journalism school from 1996 to 2011, will be inducted into the Buffalo Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame this month.
Adding to the St. Bonaventure flavor at the Sept. 20 dinner ceremony will be Shannon Shepherd, '12, who will receive the Tim Russert Medal of Merit, the third straight year a St. Bonaventure alum has won the award. Shepherd is a sports reporter/anchor at WSAW-TV, the CBS affiliate in Wausau, Wisc. The honor includes a $1,000 award.
Joining Coppola in the 2012 class are legendary Buffalo Sabres play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret, VH1 President Tom Calderone, CNN's Southeast Region Bureau Chief Mary Lynn Ryan, former WIVB-TV photographer Bill Cantwell and the late Mike Roszman, WGR-AM operations manager and traffic reporter. The BBA Hall of Fame ceremony begins with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner program at 7 p.m. in the downtown Buffalo studios of WNED-TV. WYRK-FM's Clay Moden and YNN's Katie Morse will serve as masters of ceremony.
Tickets are $60, or $400 for a corporate table of eight. For information on buying tickets, email Herb Flemming at email@example.com.
Of all the honorees, Coppola had the most varied career. He was a newspaper reporter, a TV investigative reporter, and an assistant U.S. attorney before becoming dean at the place his storied career began as a student. He graduated from St. Bonaventure in 1964.
Following two-and-a-half years of military service, Coppola was hired in 1967 by the Buffalo News. His articles on organized crime and the Witness Protection Program were the inspiration for the 1980 movie "Hide in Plain Sight," starring actor James Caan.
Coppola left the newspaper after 16 years to pursue a career as a TV journalist. In 1983, he was hired as the "troubleshooter" for WKBW-TV's "Eyewitness News" and later served as an investigative reporter for WIVB. As a television reporter, he won the prestigious George Polk Award, as well as awards from the Investigative Reporters and Editors and the National Press Club.
Coppola received his law degree from the University at Buffalo's School of Law in 1983. He eventually left TV news in 1991 and became an assistant U.S. attorney in Buffalo, where he spent five years prosecuting drug dealers.
As dean at his alma mater, Coppola created a thriving program in broadcast journalism. A gift from the family of the late Bob Koop, who was a colleague at WIVB, was used to build and equip a broadcast journalism laboratory named in Koop's memory.
Coppola and his wife, also named Lee, have three grown children and several grandchildren.
About the University: Inspired for more than 150 years by the Catholic Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them.

Physical Sciences
Research Highlights
May 2005
Room Temperature Spin Polarization in Oxide Semiconductors
In order to enable future levels of miniaturization and speed in computer circuits to be realized, researchers from around the world are considering alternative approaches for how devices process bits and store information. One such approach involves using the quantum mechanical spin of electrons to carry information, rather than charge as is currently used. This technology is called spin electronics, or spintronics. Practical spintronics requires a new generation of magnetic semiconductors that can propagate spin polarized currents well above room temperature. Conventional magnetic semiconductors, such as Mn:GaAs, are only magnetic at cryogenic temperatures, precluding their use in circuits without expensive refrigeration.
Researchers at PNNL are exploring a new class of magnetic oxide semiconductors that may hold promise for spin polarization above room temperature. By taking a careful materials science approach using state-of-the-art epitaxial oxide film growth at PNNL, along with various x-ray spectroscopies at DOE's Advanced Light Source (ALS) and Advanced Photon Source (APS), these researchers are able to synthesize and evaluate materials in a rational manner, thereby determining whether or not such materials possess the necessary properties to be useful in spintronics. In one recent study, the PNNL team has found that TiO2 anatase doped with a few atomic percent of Cr is ferromagnetic up to ~800 K, making it one of the most thermally robust of the recently discovered magnetically doped oxides. Moreover, recent x-ray spectroscopic measurements made at the ALS reveal that although the Cr dopant is strongly hybridized to the valence band, there is no spin polarization in the conduction band, where the free carriers are in n-type material. The physical causes of this result have been revealed by comparing spectroscopic data with detailed density functional calculations of the electronic structure of the material.

At the age of seven, my nephew composed a 13-word rhyme as simple and powerful as anything I've ever heard:
Soon it comes to every person, see it happen in one black curtain.
Years later, I'm still mystified that a child could conjure such a cogent description of mortality. Perhaps that knowledge is programmed in each of us. Whether we think about it or not, death is ever-present and life is ever-shrinking. For some, death is an obsession, for others, barely an afterthought. To most who contemplate it, the concept of eternal non-existence, of a life book-ended by oblivion, is unfathomable and horrifying. We are programmed to "rage against the dying of the light."
Death is life's greatest motivator, for good and evil, fueling our futile quest to 'matter' – futile, because the people we seek to matter to are themselves reaching out to us to give them meaning. Picture two jumpers hurtling to earth, each reaching for the other, but neither with a foothold and both doomed to the same end. Some try to matter by helping others, some by hurting others, all with the desire to be remembered, to bridge an unbridgeable gap, to leave some kind of a mark, to prove that they existed.
Humans are impossibly lonely creatures, staring forlornly into time and space, without an anchor or a reference point, probing the depths of physics, philosophy, psychology, poetry, but forever bumping up against the unknowable.
My father, who I lost over a decade ago, adored Edward Fitzgerald's translation of the Rubaiyat — this quatrain in particular:
And that inverted Bowl we call The Sky,
Whereunder crawling coop't we live and die,
Lift not thy hands to It for help–for it
Rolls impotently on as Thou or I.
Searching for the light behind the black curtain, we turn to religion, to faith, to drugs, to music, to love. We get a glimmer of hope with near-death and other paranormal experiences. We meditate and pray. We look to nature and art and beauty. We dream.
And sometimes we do get glimpses of the light behind the curtain. In the twilight before sleep (hypnagogic states); in moments of transcendence when our thinking brain is suspended; in vague remembrances of a home, a place of origin whose location is timeless and dimensionless; in the sudden opening — and closing — of a portal during moments of intense fear and love and pain and pleasure; in the stillness of night and nature; in strange confluences and coincidences; in the inexplicable faith that somehow, somewhere, there is an answer.
It's amusing that science, in its quest to deconstruct and debunk, has reaffirmed the ephemerality of the physical world, painting a wonderful and mysterious picture of a universe that is merely thought and potential. Just imagine that when you look out across the horizon, everything in your sight is energy, nothing solid, and that it's all a thought in your mind. And that you are a thought in someone else's mind.
We see the black curtain looming and it gives us pause, as it should. Still, we have reason to believe that behind the curtain is something even more real, more awe-inspiring, more beautiful than the world we know.

Deer hunters making final preparations for upcoming deer gun season
Clean out the freezer, sight in your rifle and dig out the blaze orange, because the deer gun season is right around the corner. Running Nov. 20 through Dec. 5, the deer gun season is undoubtedly Oklahoma's most popular hunting event and this year hunters have reason to be excited about the upcoming season.
"For the second year in a row hunters have the opportunity to hunt 16 days during the deer gun season and it looks like we'll have another great season," said Mike Shaw, wildlife research supervisor for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
More than 155,000 gun hunters took to the woods last fall, harvesting 63,100 deer. With good weather, hunters can again look forward to excellent opportunities to harvest a deer this fall.
Oklahomans must have an annual hunting or combination license, lifetime hunting or lifetime combination license, senior citizen hunting or senior citizen combination license or proof of exemption. In addition, hunters must possess a deer gun (antlered or antlerless) license for each deer hunted, or proof of exemption. Resident hunters under 18 years of age may purchase either the youth deer gun license or the regular deer gun license.
All nonresident deer hunters must possess a nonresident deer gun (antlered, antlerless or combo) license for each deer hunted or proof of exemption. Holders of nonresident lifetime hunting and lifetime combination licenses are not exempt from purchasing deer licenses. Nonresident deer hunters are exempt from purchasing an annual nonresident hunting license.
Hunters may take a total of two deer, which may include no more than one antlered deer and one antlerless deer. Antlerless deer may only be harvested on specified days in certain zones. Harvest of antlerless mule deer is prohibited during deer gun season. For antlerless deer hunt zones and dates open to antlerless hunting, pick up a copy of the "2004-05 Oklahoma Hunting Guide."
Upon successfully harvesting a deer, all license holders, including lifetime license holders, must immediately attach their name and license number to the carcass. What the hunter attaches can be anything, as long as it contains the hunter's name and hunting license number and remains securely attached to the animal until it is checked at a hunter check station or with an authorized Wildlife Department employee.
Annual license holders, upon harvesting a deer, must complete the Record of Game section on the back of the universal license. The information must be recorded on the license form prior to moving or field dressing the animal. To do this they must tear out one of the notches on the license and print in ink the time, date, type of game and method of harvest on the notched line in the appropriate columns. Lifetime license holders are not required to complete the Record of Game section on the back of the universal license.
All successful hunters must check their deer at the nearest hunter check station. A county by county listing of hunter check stations is provided in this year's hunting guide and the most up-to-date check station listing is available at wildlifedepartment.com.
Deer gun hunters should always remember to keep safety the first priority. All deer gun hunters must conspicuously wear both a head covering and an outer garment above the waistline, consisting of daylight fluorescent orange color totaling at least 400 square inches. Camo-fluorescent orange is legal, if the total orange meets or exceeds the required 400 square inches.
Hunting hours during deer gun season are one-half hour before official sunrise to one-half hour after official sunset.
For additional regulations, antlerless zones, check station locations, season dates and a wealth of other information be sure to pick up a copy of the "2004-05 Oklahoma Hunting Guide" available at all license dealer locations or log on to the Department's Web site at wildlifedepartment.com.
The Wildlife Department is continuing to monitor the state's deer herd for chronic wasting disease (CWD) as it has since 1999. To date, all of the 2,638 deer sampled statewide have tested negative for the disease. However, ODWC biologists will sample an additional 2,000 deer during this year's deer hunting seasons.

There are quite a few places to go waterfowl hunting in the United States, but it is no surprise that the Hackberry Flat Wildlife Management Area in southwest Oklahoma was named as one of the top 25 public land hotspots.
Featured in the November issued of "Field and Stream" magazine, the article entitled "Great American Duck Hunts" calls Hackberry Flat a "magnet for waterfowl."
Hackberry Flat located near Frederick, encompasses over 7,000 acres of prime migratory bird habitat. The area provides plenty of fast paced action for dove hunters in early fall, holds thousands of ducks, geese and sandhill cranes in the winter, and also serves as important nesting habitat for a wide range of shorebirds.
"The cover is wide open and the pools are small and shallow. It's a great place for walk-in and sneak-boat hunters," writes author Philip Bourjaily.
The 3,700 acre wetland development unit consists of a variety of plants such as millet, sedges, and smartweed, and some agriculture fields. Most water in wetland units comes from rainfall runoff, however, approximately 90 water control structures, a large water reservoir, and 25 wetland units have been constructed to provide wetland wildlife habitat throughout the year.
A designated primitive camping area is offered on the area. Both lodging and restaurants are available in Frederick. The Frederick Chamber of Commerce can be reached at (580) 335-2126.

Spread of cedar trees harmful to state's wildlife
Mike Sams doesn't much like cedar trees.
"There's just not much good you can say about them," said Sams, the upland game bird biologist and quail program coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife.
Sams doesn't have anything against trees in general, it's just that he has seen first hand how the invasive Eastern red cedar has been a detriment to wildlife habitat across the state.
"Infestation of cedar is perhaps the best example of how Oklahoma's landscape has changed due to factors like urbanization and fire suppression," Sams said. "In the 1950's cedars had taken over 1.5 million acres and today Eastern red cedars have invaded approximately 10 million acres of rangeland."
According to Sams when cedar trees encroach on prairie habitat, bobwhite quail populations tend to decline.
Dr. David Engle, professor of rangeland resources at Oklahoma State University, agrees that cedars can have a whole host of negative impacts, particularly due to their risk of fire wildfires in rural and suburban settings. Cedar invasions can also be quite harmful to grassland bird species. Many of Oklahoma's grassland bird species are declining at a rate greater than bobwhite quail.
"In studies we have seen that as little as 25 percent coverage of Eastern red cedars can essentially eliminate most bird species that are dependent on grassland habitats," Engle said. "In Oklahoma we have gone from a grassland invasion of cedars to a grassland conversion to cedars."
The two men certainly agree on the severity of the problem and they also agree on the solution.
"Cedar control is an important part of a land management plan for both wildlife and livestock," Sams said. "It sounds simple, but the sooner you start to get a hold of the problem the better. Prescribed fire is one of the best and most efficient methods of not only removal of existing cedar trees but also to control the spread of new saplings. Mechanical removal is also a good option where the cedars have grown too large to be killed by prescribed fire."
Landowners can receive technical assistance and may qualify for financial incentives for removing cedar trees. Those who would like more information about their cedar control options should contact a regional biologist by calling (405) 521-2739. Landowners can also contact their county's Natural Resource Conservation agent for more information.
Grant awards to assist endangered bats
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission authorized the Wildlife Department to pursue purchasing 1,200 acres in Adair County that will not only protect two endangered bat species, but also provide additional public hunting opportunities.
Thanks to a grant from the federal Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund, the property may be purchased to protect habitat for the federally endangered Ozark big-eared bat and gray bat.
Funded through the Endangered Species Act, the $469,083 grant will enable the Department to work with willing landowners to initiate conservation planning efforts and acquire habitat to support the conservation of these rare bats without any direct costs to the Department. The property adjoins the Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge and will be operated in cooperation with refuge personnel.
The hardwood forests and the many caves in the area will provide critical foraging and brood-rearing habitat for the bats. The area will also provide increased recreation opportunity for hunters, anglers and other wildlife enthusiasts. The state of Arkansas is also cooperating in the effort to conserve these species and will be purchasing complementing lands in Arkansas.
An additional $80,500 in grants was also provided through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to fund ongoing research projects on endangered species in the state including the red cockaded woodpecker, the black-capped vireo and a freshwater mussel found in the Kiamichi River.
In other business, Commissioners approved matching federal funds to be used for habitat management projects on nine wildlife management areas around the state as well as an elk research project near the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. About $150,000 of federal Wildlife Restoration Funds will be matched with the donations from the National Wild Turkey Federation ($34,921), the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation ($13,333), and the One-Shot Antelope Foundation ($4,023).
Commissioners also heard a presentation on the wildlife crime scene training that 16 state game wardens will be receiving before the start of the deer gun season.
"This training will give our officers many of the same tools used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Forensic Laboratory," said David Deckard, law enforcement training coordinator for the Wildlife Department. "This will greatly increase our ability to track down and prosecute poachers, which means better recreational opportunities for law-abiding sportsmen."
New computer software and testing methods will allow state game wardens to quickly determine a deer's time of death to within an accuracy standard of just a few minutes. Officers will also receive training on collecting sophisticated crime scene evidence.
In other business, the Commission recognized Bill Jackson of Pawhuska for his 20 consecutive years as president of the First Oklahoma Trappers and Predator Callers Association. Jackson worked tirelessly to keep interest in fur harvest high as fur prices went down in the 1980s. He also coordinated one of the state's largest annual fur auctions as well as promoted education for new and novice trappers.
"Bill has truly done great work for the sportsmen and trappers of the state and we just can't thank him enough," said Commissioner Lewis Stiles.
Also at their November meeting, Commissioners recognized four Department employees for their service to the sportsmen of the state. Law Enforcement Chief John Streich has served with the Department for 35 years. Streich took the opportunity to inform the commission of his retirement effective Jan. 31, 2005. Steve Spade, hatchery supervisor, was recognized for his 25 years of service. Spade oversees the Wildlife Department's three hatcheries which produce approximately 11 million fish each year. Also recognized were Loren Damron, state game warden supervisor stationed in Roger Mills County for his 30 years of service and Roy Roundtree, state game warden stationed in Murray County for his 20 years of service.
The Wildlife Conservation Commission is the eight-member governing board of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The Wildlife Commission establishes state hunting and fishing regulations, sets policy for the Wildlife Department, and indirectly oversees all state fish and wildlife conservation activities. Commission members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
The Commission approved dates for the 2005 Wildlife Conservation Commission meetings. Meetings are scheduled for: Jan. 3, Feb. 7, March 7, April 4, May 2, June 6, July 5, Aug. 1, Sept 6, Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 5.
The next scheduled Commission meeting is December 6 at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation headquarters (auditorium), at the southwest corner of 18th and North Lincoln, Oklahoma City at 9:00 a.m.
Conservation organizations support habitat work on public hunting areas
Habitat management on public lands recently got a big boost thanks to a trio of conservation organizations.
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission recently approved matching federal funds to be used for habitat management projects on nine wildlife management areas around the state as well as an elk research project near the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. About $150,000 of federal Wildlife Restoration Funds will be matched with the donations from the National Wild Turkey Federation ($34,921), the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation ($13,333), and the One-Shot Antelope Foundation ($4,023).
Following is a short summary of the habitat projects:
Atoka Wildlife Management Area. Aerial application of granular herbicide will be used to set back woody succession and encourage grasses and forbs. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $4,000 to the project.
Beaver River Wildlife Management Area. A water well will be drilled, along with a solar water pump, to provide water for wildlife in this often arid region. The One Shot Antelope Foundation will be donating $4,023 to the project.
Cherokee Wildlife Management Area. Small openings in dense forest will be created for use by turkeys, deer and other animals. Additionally, several wildlife watering areas will be created on the area. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $5,250 to the project.
Oologah Wildlife Management Area. Fireguards will be constructed on the WMA to allow for prescribed burning. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $4,000 to the project.
Love Valley Wildlife Management Area. Fireguards will be created for prescribed burning. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $3,000 to the project.
Packsaddle and Ellis County wildlife management areas. Cedars will be removed along riparian zones to increase quality turkey roosting habitat and to slow the spread of Eastern red cedars. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $5,000 to the project.
Pushmataha Wildlife Management Area. Aerial application of herbicides will be used to set back brush along road right-of-ways to promote grasses, forbs and legumes. The National Wild Turkey Federation and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will each be donating $4,800 to the project.
Spavinaw Wildlife Management Area. This project creates additional fireguards and provides funds for the purchase of prescribed burning equipment. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $4,000 to the project.
Southwest Oklahoma Elk Research. This ongoing project is studying the population characteristics of elk outside of the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. Researchers will continue to place radio collars on cow elk to learn more about how elk use different habitat types during different times of the year. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will be donating $8,333 to the project.
Wildlife Department's Southeast Region. A special aerial ignition device will be purchased for use in prescribed burns in the area. The National Wild Turkey Federation will be donating $4,871 to the project.
All totaled, these groups donated $52,078 and thanks to hunters this amount will be matched and increased three-fold to more than $200,000. This matching money comes from the Wildlife Restoration Program. Firearms, as well as bows and arrows and other outdoor-related equipment are subject to excise taxes, which help fund conservation efforts around the country. The Wildlife Restoration programs are tremendous examples of true partnerships between private industries, state governments, the federal government and hunters. The federal government collects these taxes from manufacturers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and distributes the funds to the state fish and wildlife agencies. Hunters and shooters ultimately pay these taxes through the purchase of products. These same people benefit from the funds as states must spend the money on wildlife habitat restoration/development, population management, user access and facilities and education.
A similar program is in place for anglers and boaters called the Sportfish Restoration Program. Together, these two programs supply funds that are used by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation for a wide range of important activities, including the purchase and maintenance of wildlife management areas, construction of fish hatcheries, research laboratories and user facilities, surveying and managing fish and wildlife populations, training volunteer instructors and educating young hunters and anglers in safe firearms handling, water safety, fish and wildlife resources and ethics afield. Other uses for the funds development of fish and wildlife habitat and the creation of boating and fishing access facilities.
Free replacement hunter education cards offered at wildlifedepartment.com
Hunters who may have misplaced their lost hunter education cards have a quick and easy solution available at wildlifedepartment.com. They can obtain a replacement card which can be used to purchase a deer license by logging onto the Department's Web site.
"I often hear a sigh of relief when I tell hunters they can just print off a replacement card for free off the internet 24-hours a day," said Lance Meek, hunter education coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
To print off a temporary card, go to the Department's home page (wildlifedepartment.com) and click on Hunter Education. On that page click on "lost your card or need your number." Once on the Hunter Education page, individuals can click on, "print off replacement hunter ed card." Follow the directions by filling in the requested information; then clicking 'submit' and the card should appear on the screen.
"Hunters can print the card out and use it to get their licenses. It will be accepted by license vendors across the state and in other states as well. The information can also be useful if you want to request a permanent replacement card," Meek said.
If a card does not come up, the hunter can contact the Department's Information and Education Division at (405) 521-4636, Monday-Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and Department personnel will check the hunter education database to find a hunter's certification record. Those wanting a permanent plastic replacement card can receive one for $5 (check, cash, money orders or cashiers checks accepted) by visiting the Department's Oklahoma City headquarters or submitting a letter to: Attn: Replacement Hunter Education Card, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, P.O. Box 53465, Oklahoma City, OK 73152.

They should also include a daytime phone number so additional information can be obtained if needed.
State record Blue Cat caught at Lake Texoma
A Madill man caught a 98-pound blue catfish Nov. 11 on Lake Texoma, breaking the previous state record by more than 10 pounds.
BJ Nabors, who was only on his second catfishing trip with his father-in-law and two other anglers, caught the record fish around 8 p.m. while fishing from the bank with whole shad.
"I enjoy fishing for bass and crappie, but hadn't gone catfishing much," said Nabors. "I guess you could say I was just along for the ride. I'm sure I'll go back. I'm hooked now."
Nabors was using a 12-foot Eagle Claw fishing pole and a Shakespeare spinning reel spooled with 20-pound test Stren. The angler wrestled with the fish for several minutes before beaching it.
"I was holdin' on pretty good," he said. "We actually had two fish on at once. I held on for what seemed like forever, but it was probably only 10 or 15 minutes."
The 54 and 1/2-inch long fish had a 39 and 1/2-inch girth and came from an area of Lake Texoma locally known as "Murray 23," located in the Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge. The fishing hole is a noted blue catfish hotspot, with the winter months being the primary time of year when serious anglers pursue the large blue cats.
Oklahoma's previous blue catfish record was set only last year, also in Lake Texoma. That fish weighed in at a little over 87 pounds and was caught in March. Nabors said that at first he wasn't aware the fish was a potential state record.
"We had absolutely no clue it was a state record," he said. "We had some 100-pound scales and when it bottomed those out, we started looking for some certified scales."
Fisheries personnel with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation brought portable certified scales to the lake and after verifying it as a state record, transported the fish to a local fish hatchery. It has since been transported to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks where it will be displayed following a brief quarantine.
Hunters sharing their harvest
Last year Oklahoma hunters donated 42,000 pounds of venison, that's 21 tons, to the Hunters Against Hunger program. That's a lot of meat, in fact, it is enough to provide meals for 170,000 people. The program, co-sponsored by Nature Works Inc. and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, facilitates the distribution of deer meat to hungry families in the state.
"We really appreciate the generous donations from hunters and meat processors around the state," said Sally White, programs director for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. "We've already had around 1,500 pounds of venison donated this year. This meat is distributed almost immediately to hungry families and I know it is greatly appreciated."
Hunters who legally harvest a deer during this year's deer seasons can simply deliver the deer to the nearest participating meat processor after checking the deer at a hunter check station. To help with processing charges, each donor is requested to contribute a tax-deductible $10 to assist with the program. The ground venison will then be distributed to the needy through a network of qualified, charitable organizations.
To find out more about the Hunters Against Hunger Program, or for a list of cooperating meat processors, check out page 24 of the "2004-05 Oklahoma Hunting Guide."
Pheasant hunters anticipate another good season
Pheasant season opens December 1 from northcentral Oklahoma all the way through the panhandle. For many, there is no better way to spend a day than to roam the rolling hills of northwest Oklahoma hunting the colorful birds.
Populations of the popular game birds appear to be in good shape going into the season, according to Steve Conrady, northwest senior biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation for the northwest part of the state.
"We had a few isolated spring hail storms that affected brood survival in a few areas, but overall pheasant numbers are increasing over the past five years," Conrady said.
According to Conrady, there are several other factors that can be attributed to the increase in pheasant populations in the northwest.
"Over the past 10 years we have seen an increase in the diversity of crops, an increase in no-till farming practices and an increase in the acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. Along with favorable weather, I think these are the four main reasons we have enjoyed a rise in pheasant numbers," Conrady said.
Panhandle pheasant hunters also have plenty to look forward to.
"We had a good hatch and I think the pheasant numbers will be real comparable to last year or even slightly higher," said Danny Watson, wildlife biologist at Beaver River, Optima and Rita Blanca wildlife management areas.
According to Watson, hunters will have the best success by keying in on areas that are part of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), particularly those near milo fields. Additionally, brushy fencerows and the corners of irrigated crop fields are likely places to find pheasants. Both Watson and Conrady emphasized the importance of obtaining landowner permission prior to hunting.
The season runs December 1 through January 31, 2005, and hunters should consult the "2004-05 Oklahoma Hunting Guide" for open zones and wildlife management areas. The daily bag limit for pheasants is two cocks, with a possession limit of four after the first day and six after the second day. Pheasant hunters should note that legal shooting hours are sunrise to sunset, except on some wildlife management areas. Evidence of sex (head or one foot) must remain on the bird until it reaches its final destination. When the deer gun and the special antlerless deer seasons (in open zones) overlap with pheasant season, all pheasant hunters must wear either a hunter orange cap or vest.
Before going afield, be sure to pick up a copy of the "2004-05 Oklahoma Hunting Guide," available at all hunting and fishing license dealers or log onto wildlifedepartment.com.
2005 wildlife calendar now available
Between hunting, fishing and just getting outside - there is plenty to do on the prairies and lakes of the state. So you better have a good calendar to keep track of all these activities. The November/December 2004 calendar issue of "Outdoor Oklahoma," is just perfect for the task.
The calendar not only showcases award-winning color photography of the state's most scenic landscapes and wildlife, but each month also includes suggested habitat management practices, along with interesting fish and wildlife notes.
"Hunters and anglers are usually in tune with the seasons so it's only appropriate that they have a calendar suited for them. The calendar can also be a great tool for landowners to learn of various management practices that will improve habitat on their properties," said David Warren, chief of information and education for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Warren added that the current issue is more than just a calendar. The magazine profiles several Oklahoma landowners and details their successful efforts to balance wildlife and agriculture priorities. The issue also includes information on how to get involved in the state's 2005 Winter Bird Survey.
"The calendar issue would be a great gift for family and friends who enjoy the outdoors. Individual issues are $4 by mail and subscriptions for a full year are just $10," Warren added.
To obtain the calendar issue mail $4 (check, cash, money orders or cashiers check accepted) addressed to "Outdoor Oklahoma" magazine, P.O. Box 53465, Oklahoma City, OK 73152. Subscriptions for one-year ($10), two-years ($18) or three-years ($25) are available by calling 1-800-777-0019. Additionally, you can subscribe over the Internet by logging on to the Department's Web site at www.wildlifedepartment.com.
Hearty home-style venison recipes can satisfy any appetite
If you're one of the thousands of Oklahomans who successfully harvested a deer during the opening days of deer gun season, you may now be hunting for just the right recipe.
Venison offers hunters and their families many meals of lean, high-protein meat that is 100-percent natural, with no additives or preservatives. Preparing and eating wild game with friends and family is an essential part of the hunting experience. Many hunters say that consuming harvested game gives them a deeper respect and reverence for that animal.
There are literally hundreds of recipes for venison that can be found in cookbooks or on the Internet. The following are a few recipes you can try this winter or just let your culinary imagination run wild.
Venison Hobo Dinner
Take a 12" square piece of foil. Put venison patties (about the size of a hamburger patties) on middle of foil. Pull up sides of foil to form a bag. Add 1/4 inch slices of potatoes to top of meat, then add onion slices, put about a teaspoon of butter and 1/8 cup of water in foil. Close foil and put in hot charcoaler for about 20-30 minutes. Or you can cook at 350 degrees in an oven for about the same time. Add other vegetables if desired.
Hearty Venison Stew
2 1/2-3 lbs. venison stew meat cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup flour
3 tsp. paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs. butter
2 med. onions, chopped
2 cubed potatoes
2 cloves garlic
1-11 oz. can stewed tomatoes or 1 can tomato sauce
1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature
1/2 cup water
Shake meat cubes in plastic bag with the flour, paprika, salt and pepper. In Dutch oven, melt butter and sauté coated venison cubes until browned. Remove cubes to warm dish and in the same Dutch oven, sauté onions and garlic with 2 tbs paprika until soft. Then add tomatoes and water. Add browned venison cubes and simmer over low heat until meat is tender (45 min-1.5 hours). Just before serving, stir in 1/2 c sour cream. Serve with egg noodles or rice.
Sunday Deer Roast
Venison roast (1-3 lbs.)
3-4 potatoes - cut into chunks
3 sliced carrots
1 sliced bell pepper
black pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 tbs. flour
1/2 cup of water
Arrange ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours on high for four to six hours or until meat is tender.
"Your Side of the Fence" newsletter available free to landowners
When it comes to managing your property, whether it be for wildlife, agriculture or both, there is certainly a lot of decisions to be made. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is providing landowners the information they need to make wise land management decisions through the "Your Side of the Fence" landowner newsletter.
Since approximately 97 percent of the land in the state is owned by private individuals, private landowners have a major impact on wildlife habitat in the state. The land practices they choose are vital in conserving habitat and wildlife resources.
"We hope this newsletter will be a great resource for landowners who have an eye on the bottom line, but also realize the importance of conserving wildlife on their property," said Blake Podhajsky, editor of the "Your Side of the Fence" newsletter.
Each issue of "Your Side of the Fence" is packed with informative articles covering issues that are important to landowners, from the latest farm bill news, to pond management for fishing to controlling invasive range species. The best part is that the newsletter is absolutely free.
The newsletter is produced three times a year and an archive of all previous issues can be seen by logging on to the Department's Web site at http://www.wildlifedepartment.com

HANG TIME BIG CITY — The season may not be over just yet, but the Sacramento Kings are reportedly already planning for the future. According to a report from The Vertical's Adrian Wojnorowski, tomorrow the Kings will be part ways with coach George Karl…
The Kings will allow Karl to travel back with the team late Wednesday night and will make official what's been suspected for months: Once again, the Kings are in the market for a new coach.
Karl is aware of the timing of the Thursday dismissal, sources said.
Unlike the firing of coach Michael Malone in December 2015 – a unilateral, solo choice by owner Vivek Ranadive – the dismissal of Karl is a broader decision of ownership and top basketball executive Vlade Divac.
Karl is owed $5 million-plus on the balance of his contract.
Two members of Karl's coaching staff, Corliss Williamson and Nancy Lieberman, could stay to be a part of the next head coach's staff, league sources said.
Karl went 11-19 last season after taking the Kings' coaching position midseason, and despite high hopes coming into this season, the Kings have gone 33-48. Next season the Kings will move into a new arena, the Golden 1 Center.
