Must punt if not past your own 40 yard line unless losing in 4th quarter.
Must kick field goal if around opponents 30 yard line unless it's 4th down and 2 to go or less.
May go for it on 4th down if past your own 40 yard line if 4th and 1 or 4th and inches.
May go for it on 4th down if 4th and 5 or less just outside field goal range(35-45 yard line).

Psn: dentalmonsterum. Don't care what team as I will build it from scratch. Send invite if you are not full. Thanks!
Will get a list of 1 and 2 star prestige teams later today. Will conduct a team selection draft. I will send you a psn message later today containing the new web address for the league website. Conducting the draft through that website. League won't start until named rosters are released.

Any one got updated player rosters yet??
That one is like 70% done but I didn't see it yet, michigan is probably not perfect.
This is mine, only like 40% done , michigan has correct players to the best of my knowledge. You will need to mess with the michigan coaches I didn't know all of there records or what level meant.
Best advice check operationsports.com and the ncaa roster forum. Nobody is 100% yet.
Just a heads up if you buy at toysrus despite the ad saying you get a guide you get a 25 dollar gift card. Best deal I could find for anyone still looking to buy.
anyone pre order there for the big ten ultimate team pack and also not figure out how or where the code is? not on the receipt, not in the box, no email yet for me.
Go to Ultimate Team and go to Redeem Code. My code was on the receipt, should be 12 digits.
I would definitely join your league as well. PSN: DentalmonsterUM. I would be any team left over. I would take Illinois. Thanks.
All of you because it says you don't have an Origin Account (EA). Help!!!!
League name: MGOBLOGPS3
Password: Gardner
I cannot find any dynasty with that name. Something is wrong on your end....
So I got the invite, accepted it. Followed by my excitement to click Iowa, it was already taken. So I looked through the board and saw that the guy who wanted MSU also would take Iowa as well, so I figured he had taken my team. So now I'm sparty's shit hole, but it's alright I still can make them into something.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
A prescient article in Canada Free Press by E.K. Robinson asks the fundamental question of our day as we look to what is next:
Why are we pretending? Pretending that elections in 2014 might change things, that elections in 2016 could too?
Indeed,why are we pretending that we need more research to 'really' know what is going on? Or who Obama 'really is'? Or that the so-called republicans and so-called democrats are really the same party? Or that the theft of our nation has been going on since at least 1871?
With lightening speed those of us 'behind' in our learning caught up pretty quickly in the last five years, often learning about the 'old timers' who have been awake for many years longer than we have. This is a good thing, and, there comes a time when all this learning must be put into action. As I review my own learning it seems I have crossed new thresholds as an 'innocent' study of the Constitution in 2009 produced over 700 articles where the initial topic of Obama's usurpation turned into a full-fledged 'seeing the forest from the trees'. In 2013 I am in a profoundly different place on many levels.
What now is my affirmative duty as an American? I think you would agree that it is almost impossible to 'sit still' with the information you now have…it is true that we must keep educating but have we run out of time for the willingly blind or fence sitters to 'wake up'? throwing pearls after swine..those who are not listening cannot or will not…they have been deceived sometimes willingly.
As we complete the second month of the new year, I am inspired, as are perhaps you, to reflect, learn, and make a plan for my own work in doing my job as an American, exercising the revolutionary right we have as in our Declaration of Independence:
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The States right now
might just as well be are colonies of the federal government, which has abandoned the restraints that We the People set out in our revolutionary founding. The Second Amendment was designed for this moment, when the government became tyrannical, stationed troops in the homeland, and taxed the without representation. Is it any wonder that it is under attack, as the last bastion of our defense, and that they will kill to ensure it happens?
Americans who are alert have exercised restraint; it is those who are unaware that squander the moment. While governments should not overturn for any light reason, the Declaration reminds us of our weaknesses:
… all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
As we deeply reflect on the status of our Nation and the government that has come to control it, its deep roots and multiple tools, does anyone have any question in their mind about what is our duty from hereon out? Do we need any more debates, analyses, evidence about Obama and the entire government's complicity in the takeover by a foreign 'agent'? How about on the role of the banksters and international financiers, debt, government growth, taxes, or slavery of citizens? How about the
growth of the police state surrounding us?
We face a Constitutional Crisis unknown except at our founding. What is our Affirmative Duty as Americans knowing what we do about our government?
Unfortunately we cannot count on the police or local law enforcement to help, they only have to enforce the law and don't have an affirmative duty to protect an individual.
Time and history would assert that it is our Constitutional duty now to act in the affirmative defense of our Constitutional Republic through the dismantling the illegal government that exists right now and establishing new Guards for our future security.
Uncharted Territory
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.~Albert Einstein
As far as the problems confronting us as Americans, our advantage is we now know the 'thinking that was used to create the kind of problems we face'. We have their names, organizations, connections, and what they control. We know what their tools are, including these horrific false flags involving the murder of Americans here and abroad. It is a sobering understanding in the context of what our duty is as Americans today. Our enemies are ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
And we outnumber them. We are 'armed' with a lot more than a weapon in our own defense, and now suddenly, our offense. Think about and gather from that. Each one of us that are awake has a gift to give to this struggle, and our affirmative duty individually is to find it and use it. In our lifetimes this is uncharted territory that involves a combination of pushing back, nullifying on a personal, community and state-wide level, and creating new Guards for our future security.
But as we do step up, I believe we have a duty as Americans to do so with certain guidelines:
- Check your ego at the door. If you can't lead without being acknowledged as 'the leader', then step down. Your personal ego has nothing to do with rescuing our Nation. This is not about you, it is about God, and Country, and Family…in that order.
- Stop the scare-mongering. Does fear mongering with all the 'insiders' get you new ratings? Lots of visitors to your radio, TV show or blog? Then stop it. Think about how fear mongering stifles action, thought, reasoned dialogue, developing of plans, and creates confusion. Satan is the father of lies, confusion, and fear. Fear is what satan wants, because it paralyzes. The opposite of fear is FAITH.
- Stop the game-playing. So you're a politician and think you've got the upper hand because you are one? So you think you're smarter than the average bear? Prove it. Dare to show your humanity, be creative in solving problems, not creating new ones or new classes of victims. Be creative, not destructive. If you are creating destruction, you've only proven how stupid, obtuse, and uninformed you are. Get over yourself.
All the laws, executive orders, bad legislation, ignorance, threats, and drones have no intrinsic value or worth except by those who want to control what they cannot. The authors of these actions have no idea that they are cutting their own throats. We have no obligation to follow them whatsoever: they have lost the consent of the people. And they have no idea what judgment they will bring upon themselves. All they know, like Satan, is that their time is short.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.– King James Bible "Authorized Version", Pure Cambridge Edition
Think small cells, neighborhoods, preparation; read, learn, understand; local action; be the Watchmen. When we've had visible leaders, they* have killed them…
Ezekiel 33:6 – But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Jeremiah 51:12 – Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How are you different from the former Exodus International or other ex-gay groups?
PFOX is not a therapeutic or counseling organization, but instead aims to fill the void by offering support to the families, advocating for the ex-gay community, and educating the public on sexual orientation.
How are you funded?
PFOX is a donor supported 501(C)3 non-profit organization. Donations to PFOX are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
How can I get help?
We have a variety of resources and connections depending on who you are, and what kind of help you are looking for. We invite you to explore our website thoroughly including our referral page, our parents' page, and our resources page depending on your needs and situation.
Who are PFOX families?
PFOX families love their homosexual child unconditionally. Unlike other organizations which insist that parental love is conditional on affirming homosexual behavior, there are no conditions on our love for our children. We can accept our children without embracing their belief system or lifestyle decisions. We do not have to approve of everything our children do. Blanket approval is not responsible parenting or love. True love persists in loving regardless of our differences and treats each other with kindness and respect.
How can my school or business support ex-gays?
Schools that address the issue of sexual orientation must present all of the facts in a fair and balanced manner. According to Public Schools and Sexual Orientation Consensus Guidelines, school officials are urged to include the viewpoints of all participants in order to develop policies that promote fairness for all. Actions by educators to exclude some views merely because they disagree with them constitute viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment. Therefore, the ex-gay viewpoint in public schools is protected by the First Amendment and should be heard. These Guidelines are endorsed by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), American Association of School Administrators, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, and the First Amendment Center.
Kevin Jennings, former Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools of the U.S. Department of Education, the National Educators Association (NEA) Ex-Gay Educators Caucus, and the American College of Pediatricians all support ex-gay equal access to schools.
Aren't people born gay?
Many ex-gays will tell you that at one point in their life they thought they were "born gay." The reality is that no scientific evidence has established a genetic cause for homosexuality or found a "gay gene." There is no DNA or medical test to determine if a person is homosexual. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration. "Gay" is a self-chosen identity. According to the American Psychiatric Association, there are no replicated scientific studies to support that people can be born "gay" or that homosexuality is innate.
According to the American Psychological Association, "[a]lthough much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors." [2008]
Do people choose to be gay?
Many ex-gays will tell you they absolutely did not "choose to be gay." The reality is that many of them were horrified to realize that they had an erotic attraction to the same-sex, which they did not ask for, and could not seemingly control. The only "choice" that some ex-gays will tell you they made, was to finally accept at a certain point in their life what everyone had been telling them for years: that they were gay. Either through labeling and bullying, or a lack of fitting in with their peers–and no alternative answer or understanding of why they felt these uncontrollable sexual attractions in their daily life–they ultimately chose to accept a gay identity.
Do people choose to be ex-gay?
Many ex-gays will tell you that they never made a choice about their attractions – as in, one day they simply chose to no longer have erotic attractions towards the same-sex. However, they will tell you that whether in a specific moment, or over the course of time, they made a decision to positively change their lives, and that journey out of homosexuality is unique and nuanced for each individual person.
What is your stance concerning gay marriage?
PFOX does not have an official stance concerning gay marriage.
What is your stance concerning efforts to ban change therapy for minors?
PFOX supports the right of all individuals to seek the therapy of their choice, including heterosexual therapy or counseling to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions. Children should have a safe environment to seek the help they want and need without fear, and be able to access full mental health care as legally provided.
What is the ex-gay movement?
Former homosexuals are the last invisible minority in America. The ex-gay movement is a civil rights movement that strives to ensure the safety and inclusion of former homosexuals in all realms of society and equal access to all public venues. Ex-gays and their supporters should not have to be "closeted" for fear of public negative reactions or disapproval. Former homosexuals do not think something is wrong with them because they decided to fulfill their heterosexual potential. They also do not believe others should condemn them for the personal decisions they have made for their lives. Social diversity is incomplete and disingenuous without the ex-gay community.
Do gay activists oppose the ex-gay movement?
Respecting the lives of other people who have made a decision to change – and including them in the conversation – is crucial to building a tolerant society. Unfortunately, some gay activists deny that change is possible – and so deny that we exist. Those opponents sadly and surprisingly believe in exclusion, censorship, and allowing only one side of the story to be told, despite demanding tolerance from others
Although gay organizations advocate for the rights of homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, transsexuals, and the intersexed, they do not add 'ex-gay' to this list and oppose ex-gay equality. But including ex-gays in their efforts would help promote tolerance for ex-gays in all segments of society.
Many ex-gays are afraid to "come out of the closet" because of the harassment they will receive. Gay activists strategically target anyone who comes out publicly as ex-gay and try to force them back into anonymity so they can claim that ex-gays do not exist.
For example, see:
PFOX is not an anti-gay organization – we are a pro-ex-gay organization. All people should be treated with dignity. We respect the opinions of others, even if they disagree with us. We do not ask for their approval, only their tolerance.
Ex-gays must be included in the formation of public policy because we have much to contribute to the understanding of sexual orientation. Without testimony from all sectors of society, public policy on this issue is seriously flawed.
Former homosexual men and women, as well as their friends and family, feel threatened because they are subjected to a hostile environment if they publicly reveal their former homosexuality or support of the ex-gay community. Courageous men and women who have left their gay identity must not be denied their Constitutional rights. To give sexual orientation protection to one group while excluding another is outright discrimination, and is unconstitutional.

April 22, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT softball team picked up its first NEWMAC wins of the season by defeating Clark University, 1-0 and 2-1, on Friday. Playing in the final home games of her career, Carly Saylor posted the game-winning hit in the opener and scored both runs in the second game.
MIT's bats dominated in the first game, as it out-hit the Cougars, 8-5. Clark (9-17, 2-12 NEWMAC) threatened to get on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh when Kelly Christensen reached on an error. Following a strikeout, Lauren Ackein singled to shortstop. Allison Ventrice grounded out to second, which put both runners in scoring position. MIT hurler Leah Bogsted got out of the inning by tallying her 11th strikeout of the game.
In the bottom of the inning, Amanda Jason hit a lead-off double to left field for the Engineers (6-18, 2-12). Cheryl Texin singled, putting runners on the corners, and then stole second. Saylor hit a single which brought Jason home.
Bogsted earned her fourth shutout as she scattered five hits and walked only one batter. For Clark, Lindsay Demers threw 4.1 innings while Kelly Christensen finished the game and picked up the loss.
In the second game, MIT took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. Saylor hit a lead-off triple and then Bogsted grounded out which allowed Saylor to make a run for home. The throw from first arrived in time, but Ackein lost control of the ball as Saylor charged towards the plate.
Clark tied the game in the next inning. A single by Ackein was followed by a sacrifice bunt from Julie Parnell. Ventrice then hit a RBI single to left field.
The Engineers took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth. Saylor posted a two-out double and then scored on a single by Bogsted to right field.
The Cougars continued to fight in their last at-bats. After a pair of strikeouts, Ventrice singled to center field. Julie Muszalski reached on a throwing error, which advanced the runners to second and third. As in the previous game, Bogsted struck out the side for the win.
On the mound, Heather Warren totaled four hits, three walks, and one strikeout in the loss. Bogsted allowed five hits and fanned eight batters.
MIT will close the regular season on Saturday, April 23 when it travels to NEWMAC foe Springfield College.

Dining Tables from Felled Trees
There's an old walnut tree that has fallen on my parents' farm. Would anyone, they asked, have an interest in it? Um, "Yes!", I said. For my own inspiration (and probably for many others' after Hurricane Irene) I went out searching for dining tables that are made from felled trees:
Here are some favorites from what I found:
- The dining table at Hudson, New York's Ten Broeck Cottage is made of pine from the property.
- This kitchen and dining pavilion featured in Dwell includes a dining table made from a fallen tree.
- Meyer Wells is a business in the northwest that's set up upon building tables from felled trees.
- This giant table was made by Beacon Custom Woodwork of a felled oak. Read its amazing story here.
If I actually do something with my parents' old walnut, it won't be easy. I will have to hire someone with a portable mill to come out to the property and process it. The wood will then need to be either kiln-dried or will need to dry out on its own for at least a year or so. Then, finally, a table could be crafted from it by a woodworker. It would take quite a lot of time and money, but imagine what a treasure such a dining table would be!

Our SRT Dynamic Duo pointed their Challenger SRT8 South and arrived at Carolina Motor sports Park in Kershaw South Carolina at 7:30 am Monday morning. This beautiful racing facility started out life as a World War II fighter-training base where P51 Mustangs and P47 Thunderbolts once roared off the runway. Today the sounds of high-horsepower vehicles from all makes fill the air as the One Lap competitors have come to do battle.
The hot air temperatures and high humidity along with a challenging track layout took its toll on some of the entries. Those who relied on aftermarket turbochargers and electronics to make power found the conditions tough on equipment. The carnage from this event left one competitor with blown turbo seals due to inadequate cooling and thus result in a DNF score. However, Erich and Adam reported their 392 HEMI® Challenger is running very strong and is not affected by the extreme heat. The coolant temp is staying at a solid 230-degree Fahrenheit and the car is running. On the back straight they hit a 125 mph but glazed the brakes backing the speed down to 105 mph. Adam slid the Challenger through the tight curves along the course and had a great lap time. Our guys finished 2ND in the SSGT2 Big Bore class and 13th overall during this stage.
The event wrapped up at 2:30 pm and Erich and Adam packed-up their gear and double-timed it over 120 miles to the next stop.
The next was at the BMW Performance Center in Greer South Carolina. This facility has a mini road course which is like a high speed autocross track, but ditches instead of cones. Its very challenging for the novice entrant as its easy to get out of shape if youre not careful. Erich once again set the air pressure in the tires and wheeled the Challenger around the track with the grace of an orchestra conductor but with the brutal punch of a heavy weight boxer. This placed our guys in 12th overall and 3rd in class during this stop.
They left the Palmetto state at 6:30 pm last night and drove 500 miles to the Daytona International Speedway. They have a 9:00 am date on the high banks of this fabled race track. Overall for the event they moved up from 26th to 19th in points and are tied for 2nd in highly competitive SSGT2 Big Bore class with 205 points. Luckily for Erich and Adam, the Challenger SRT8 shines on the road as much as the track and thankfully they have a mutual respect for 80s rock which make those long drives even better!
One Lap of America Southbound and Down!

Vucinic involved in fan dispute
Vucinic, 29, was berated during the session after missing an easy chance in front of goal, and the Montenegro international did not take kindly to the abuse.
During the middle of training in Chatillon, Vucinic reportedly walked over to the fan and began a verbal altercation with him.
Juventus manager Antonio Conte was working with other players at the time but goalkeeper Marco Storari, midfielder Thiago Motta and team officials calmed the simmering tension by removing Vucinic from the argument.
The forward is reported to have apologised to the fan responsible later in the training session.
Vucinic, who has been recently linked with a switch to Manchester United, signed for Juventus in 2011 following a successful five-year spell at Roma.
His on-edge mood is no surprise given Juventus' recent signings of strikers Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez, with Vucinic's future potentially under threat at the Serie A champions.

Difference between revisions of "Gaborone"
Revision as of 08:11, 23 November 2012
Gaborone is the capital of Botswana and located in the south of the country, near the border to South Africa.
From a dusty one horse town in the 1960s Gaborone is now a substantial city of 400,000. Generally it is a clean, safe and functioning city that is spreading ever further outwards in to a suburban sprawl that today measures about 15km from east to west.
There is a definite city centre based around the train station and the government enclave of Kharma Crescent. However numerous shopping malls are dotted all over the city diluting the prominence of the downtown area.
Gaborone's nomenclature confuses most new arrivals. Different parts of town are called Blocks, Extensions, Phases etc. and there can be multiple names for the same place. Below is a rough guide:
Knight Frank, a real estate agent with an office near the Shell Garage on the Main Mall, has a useful map of the city.
Get in
Customs is a more formality and is quite efficiently organised. Make sure you have an address that you can state you will be staying at.
By plane
By bus
There is a daily bus that connects Pretoria, South Africa with Gaborone, Botswana. The bus is operated by Intercape and the tickets can be booked online at [38] or purchased at one of their offices. The bus departs from Pretoria Station on Paul Kruger & Scheiding Street at 13:15 and arrives at the Kudu Shell Service Station in Gaborone at 21:10 (an 8 hrs bus ride). This bus makes a brief stop at the Johannesburg bus station to pick up passengers. As of June 2011 the bus fare was R 195.00 rand per person (about $29 USD).
The bus is pretty nice: tourist class, reclining seats, and a working bathroom. However, be prepared for the "Christian materials on-board." Basically, all the movies that are played on the Intercape bus have overly religious messages in them.
The border crossing between South Africa and Botswana is pretty straight forward. The passengers get off the bus (without the luggage, just the documentation) at the South African immigration check point to get their exit stamps, than they walk over to the Botswana side to get their entrance visa stamps. The bus attendant stays with the passengers for the process of the border crossing, so the bus is not going to leave anyone behind.
Get around
Public taxis are generally small white cars and can be identified by their blue license plates. These cars travel designated routes, generally going to areas/neighbourhoods that combi routes do not. The fare for a taxi is P3.50. Since taxis can only hold a maximum of 5 passengers they also tend to be quicker than a combi in completing their route. You can catch a taxi at many combi stops and ask them to drop you off anywhere along the route. For route information simply ask the driver of the taxi. If you need to go to a particular destination not on the taxi route then ask for a "special", see cab section below.
By cab
A cab is a private taxi or a "special" which takes you directly from your origin to destination. This may be a public taxi with a blue licence plate or a privately run cab. Generally you must request a cab by phone. There are several cab companies in Gabs and many display contact information on the cab itself. You can also hail public taxis on the road and request a special. To give directions, its usually better to give Plot numbers or easily identified places rather than street names (which aren't commonly used). If a driver gives you a good rate, ask him for his cell phone number and remind him of the place where you are staying. Using one driver the whole time you are in Gaborone can end up saving you money. Don't worry if you hail a cab with someone inside. Offer to split the fare for the destination and save each other some cash. Don't be afraid to try and discuss lower fares. Most trips should be P 20-30 (eg. Main Mall to Game City is around P30).
By combi
Combis are white vans that are like mini-buses. Combis cost P3.40. There are no route maps but there are different lines which are painted on the front of the combi, so just ask the driver if that line passes where you need to go. If you know the direction you need to go, start walking there - combis will honk at you as they are passing to let you know they're behind you.
By bus
You can get to most big cities by bus. However, do arrive at the bus station early, as the buses can fill up very quickly, and sometimes just leave as soon as they are full. Bring water, as the buses are often not air conditioned, and if you do not manage to get a seat, it is likely you will have to stand until at least halfway to your destination, particularly on week-ends.
By car
Gaborone is the car capital of Botswana. Traffic levels are manageable, however during rush hours (7-8am, 4.30-6pm) traffic can come to a standstill, in particular on the bridges crossing the railway line. Driving standards are OK, however there are many traffic lights (robots) which stay red for a long time, hence many drivers run red lights - perhaps 6 or more cars will run a red before traffic comes to a stop. Some Stop signs are also optional, which means that further caution is needed.
By train
The last daily passenger train service was withdrawn in April 2009.
Movies typically cost 40 Pula per seat (February 2012). It is assigned seating, so tell the cashier your preference when buying the ticket. Theaters usually show big-name movies (as a small theater in the US would). There are two cinemas in Gabs, one in Riverwalk Mall and one in Game City Mall. There is also Gaborone Film Club every Tuesday at 7pm in Mara-e Pula school - showing an interesting collection of cinematic classics for only P10.
Game Reserves
Gaborone abounds with shopping malls, and pretty much every South African chain store has at least one branch somewhere in the city. Unfortunately this crowds out local independent shops. Coupled with seemingly rampant collusion and price fixing among retailers makes Gabs a disappointing and quite expensive place to shop, despite the 12% VAT rate undercutting the 14% in South Africa.
That said there are a smattering of arts villages and local workshops that buck the trend, and a visit can make a pleasant diversion for an afternoon.
Independent art
Shopping Malls
Gaborone is not an exciting place to eat – and the city suffers more than most from South African culinary hegemony. However if you keep your expectations low there are some interesting nooks and crannies to interest your taste buds.
The restaurants below are organised by compass point from the city centre.
City Centre
Inside Riverwalk Mall
Inside Game City
Chain restaurants with multiple outlets
Covers range from 20 to 100 Pula. Many have dress codes. And like most places, the popular nights at each place vary. Check with local Batswana (people from Botswana) for time relevant information.
Gaborone compares to South Africa in terms of accommodation choice and costs. There are a handful of large chain hotels costing P800+ offering conference facilities, curio shops, evening restaurants, gyms and bars - and dozens of smaller guesthouses, lodges and bed & breakfasts varying in quality, cleanliness and price. However it is difficult to go much below P400 per night for a room. For those staying for months rather than days there are a handful of relativity expensive serviced apartments, although these are often full. Finally if you have your own car and want to keep away from the city there are some good options out in the bush 15km to the south of Gabs that cost about the same as a guesthouse in town.
In the bush to the south of Gaborone An alternative to hotels and guesthouses in the city are the handful in Notwane and Crocodile Pools - these are a 20 minute drive in to central Gaborone (10 minutes from Game City) and are very quiet and tranquil. For eating the restaurant at the Mokolodi Game Reserve is nearby.
For longer stays If you are staying in Gabs for weeks or months rather than days the following may be of interest.
There are internet cafes all over the city, in practically every shopping centre. Prices range from P10-P20 per hour. Many cafes have memberships of 5-20 hours which provide cheaper rates. Network speeds are moderate to good. Many cafes also offer photocopying services.
Stay Safe
People in Botswana are very friendly and the crime rate is relatively low. However the recent contrast between rich and poor has seen crime on the rise. Always be aware of your surroundings. When going out at night to a restaurant take a taxi called from your hotel. Take the mobile number of your driver and call him when you want to go home. Do not walk around at night away from places with lots of people. At night, do not walk back 5 blocks to your hotel from a pub. Do walk around during the day. Basic common sense will keep you safe from criminals. You should have a safe and pleasant trip as hundreds of thousands of other people have each year. If your staying at a hotel it is safe, beware for some residential areas affected with burglars.
Stay alert when driving in cars for smash and grabs when using mobile devices near traffic lights (talking on the phone without a handsfree kit is illegal anyways). Beware when walking at evenings/night in street corners as muggings occur, displays of wealth and property make you a target, particularly tempting objects such as mobile phones, laptops. Crowded public areas are a heaven for pick pockets. Be cautious especially if you are a women with a handbag.Areas often affected with such crimes are near Old Naledi, Mogoditsane, Broadhurst, Phase I and II. Police are honest and helpful but sometimes can be late to respond.
When driving to rural areas be extra careful as cows and wildlife often walk in the middle of the road. Be prepared to stop for a herd of goats. Do not drive at night unless you know what you are doing. Drunk driving on weekends and holidays is common and dangerous. Drivers do not look out for or give way to pedestrians. Be very cautious when crossing any street day or night. Do not immediate ly get out of your car if bumped/hit from behind - drive to a pubic place (service station/restaurant) to inspect for damage. Do enjoy the beauty!

Texans veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson suffered a concussion after being blasted by Titans strong safety Bernard Pollard with 2 minutes, 18 seconds left in regulation Sunday.
Johnson, who managed to hold on to the ball for a key 21-yard gain, was unavailable for comment postgame and underwent protocol tests. He's expected to be in the lineup when the Texans play at Baltimore next Sunday.
"I talked to him, and he was all right," Texans tight end Owen Daniels said. "He wanted to go back in, but protocol is that you can't at that point.
"I've never seen a more blatant blow to the head. A big miss by the officials, especially for a guy like Andre. I know you have to protect every player, especially someone like him."

Last month, SI.com sprouted TheMMQB.com, a football-specific internal destination run by Peter King. Earlier tonight, Robert Klemko if The MMQB.com told CBS Sports Radio that the website won't use the term "Redskins."
"I know that our site, we've talked about it, and we're not going to use Redskins in our writing," Klemko said. 'We're going to say 'Washington football team. And it's not something we're going to publicize or write about. We're just not going to do it."
Klemko's comments apparently were premature. In a telephone interview with PFT, King explained that no final decision has been made.
Multiple media outlets have stopped using the Redskins name, even though team owner Daniel Snyder has vowed that he'll never change it.
Earlier this month, Packers CEO Mark Murphy acknowledged that the term is "very derogatory to a lot of people," and former Raiders CEO Amy Trask recently has spoken out against the continued use of the name.

I'd like to propose a hypothetical situation that too few people seem to be imagining themselves in these past few weeks. Please, consider this story:
Through some paranormal revelation, you know that you will be mugged tomorrow at gunpoint. You don't know when exactly. You don't know what your assailant will look like. You only know that your attacker will be armed. As a law-abiding citizen of the great state of Maryland, you cannot go out and purchase a defensive weapon from a licensed dealer. Even if you chose to forsake your spotless criminal history, you lack the black market connections to purchase an illegal weapon. However, your assailant, most likely a recidivist, is aware of more than enough avenues for the purchase of an illegal, thereby untraceable, hand cannon.
However the rest of the story plays out in your imagination, the crucial elements of this drama have played out despite stricter laws controlling guns. I'm a liberal. I'm not a gun owner. I don't plan on owning a gun. But even a paring of common sense forces the unbiased observer to realize that criminals are criminals because they don't follow the law. Therefore, making more laws will accomplish nothing but shred the defenses of the average citizen.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels/Heerlen (Netherlands), 23 April 2013
Vassiliou welcomes launch of first pan-European university MOOCs (massive open online courses)
Partners in 11 countries have joined forces to launch the first pan-European 'MOOCs' (Massive Open Online Courses) initiative, with the support of the European Commission. MOOCs are online university courses which enable people to access quality education without having to leave their homes. Around 40 courses, covering a wide variety of subjects, will be available free of charge and in 12 different languages. The initiative is led by the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) and mostly involves open universities. The partners are based in the following countries: France, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, UK, Russia, Turkey and Israel. Detailed information about the initiative and the courses on offer is available on the portal www.OpenupEd.eu.
Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, welcomes the new initiative: "This is an exciting development and I hope it will open up education to tens of thousands of students and trigger our schools and universities to adopt more innovative and flexible teaching methods. The MOOCs movement has already proved popular, especially in the US, but this pan-European launch takes the scheme to a new level. It reflects European values such as equity, quality and diversity and the partners involved are a guarantee for high-quality learning. We see this as a key part of the Opening up Education strategy which the Commission will launch this summer."
Professor Fred Mulder, chair of the EADTU task force on open education and UNESCO chair in Open Educational Resources, is leading the initiative. "We have much to offer in Europe by fully exploring the possibilities created by the MOOCs revolution, but with a broader perspective on opening up education. Our aim is to respond to the need for a more accessible system of higher education, which puts the learner at the centre. The European MOOCs will provide quality, self-study materials and a bridge between informal learning and formal education. Some of the courses attract formal credits which will count towards a degree, for example. And we cherish diversity both in language and in culture," adds Mulder, who was Rector of the Open Universiteit in the Netherlands from 2000 to 2010.
EADTU President Will Swann says: "For decades, the open universities of Europe and their partners have brought the highest quality of teaching and learning to all who seek it. The pan-European MOOCs initiative shows our collective passion to further innovate. We look to expand with a growing range of courses from the launch partners, and we will welcome new partners from across the world who share our vision and practice of flexible, responsive higher education."
Commissioner Vassiliou, together with Prof Mulder and EADTU President Swann, will launch the European MOOCs initiative in a webcasted international press event hosted by the Open Universiteit in the Netherlands on Thursday 25 April (11:00-12:00 CET). They will be joined by Xavier Prats Monné, Deputy Director-General of the Commission's Education and Culture directorate. You can view the event online: www.ou.nl/moocs. Media wishing to participate in the chat should register in advance on this site.
What about the courses?
Courses range from mathematics to economics, e-skills to e-commerce, climate change to cultural heritage, corporate social responsibility to the modern Middle East, and language learning to writing fiction. Each partner is offering courses via its own learning platform and at least in its home language. The current choice is from the 11 languages of the partners (see list below), plus Arabic.
Courses can be taken either in a scheduled period of time or anytime at the student's own pace. They typically involve from 20 to 200 hours of study. All courses may lead to recognition: a completion certificate, a so-called badge, or a credit certificate that may count towards a degree. In the latter case, students have to pay for the certificate, with the cost ranging from € 25 to € 400, depending on the course size (the hours of study involved) and institution.

Other potential partners interested in joining should contact EADTU.
What is Opening up Education?
Commissioner Vassiliou, together with Vice-President Neelie Kroes, responsible for the digital agenda, will launch the Commission's new Opening up Education initiative this summer. It aims to promote the use of ICT and open educational resources at all levels of education in order to provide current and future generations of students with the skills they need.
European Association of Distance Teaching Universities
EADTU is an institutional network of Europe's ten open and distance/online universities, 14 national associations of conventional universities organising distance/online education for off-campus students, and two 'dual mode' – campus-based and online – universities. EADTU's activities are supported through the Jean Monnet action, part of the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme.

Experts at a conference addressing water and energy in Texas collectively agreed the state's water needs will grow exponentially over the next decade, fueled by a "business-friendly" environment attracting more people to the Lone Star state.
But unsolved is how to fund the proposed $53.1 billion state water plan going before the Texas Legislature in January. This issue, along with education, will be on the forefront of issues debated among lawmakers in Austin, according to conference speakers.
"People want water and water security, but they don't want to pay for it," Dr. Robert Mace, Texas Water Development Board deputy executive administrator, told conference attendees.
The conference, "Growing Texas: Water and Energy in Texas," held at the College Station Hilton and Conference Center, featured experts from several Texas A&M University System agencies, including Texas A&M AgriLife Research, and university faculty in the areas of agriculture and engineering.
Dr. Mark Hussey, vice chancellor and dean for agriculture and life sciences at Texas A&M University, told attendees that water and energy are part of "grand challenges many individuals are talking about across the country and the world."
A historic drought in 2011 caused $7.6 billion in Texas agriculture losses and stressed water supply systems statewide. Parts of Texas are still under drought and last year's parched conditions statewide "keep water planners up at night," Mace said.
Mace said Texas' projected population growth will lead to a shortfall of 8.3 million acre-feet of water by 2016.
"All of these folks will want a glass of water," he said.
Potential funding sources for the state's overall water plan could come in the form of a tax, water usage fees, sales of state bonds or other funding methods. State Rep. James Keffer, Texas House of Representatives energy resources committee chair, told attendees conservatives will "not look ahead to the future" as the issue is debated and that other politics will weigh in on the state's water issues.
Nevertheless, Keffer said education and water are two top priorities among Texas legislators in the upcoming legislative session.
Meanwhile, efficient technologies, such as those in agricultural irrigation in the High Plains, will help temper demand, but won't be the sole solution to water efficiency.
Dr. Ari Michelsen, resident director of the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at El Paso, said agriculture is a big player in water use to produce crops, livestock and other commodities.
The value of water to farmers to grow crops varies by commodity, he said, but ranges from $15 per acre-foot to $70 per acre-foot. Those prices vary as the value of crop prices and inflation fluctuate from year to year. Municipalities and others looking for new sources of water could turn to farmers and agriculture as a whole in the future to buy water and transfer into industrial or municipal use, he said.
On an economic scale, Michelsen said the cheapest and cleanest source of water is groundwater. Surface water costs range from 50 cents to $1 per 1,000 gallons. Desalinated water costs are approximately $1.60 per 1,000 gallons.
Michelsen said scientists with Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialists continue to look for more innovative efficiencies in water use as ongoing work is done in breeding new varieties and evaluating new irrigation technology.
While agriculture has identified several efficiencies in irrigation, Mace said research funding is needed in water conservation to close the gap in municipal residential use and to develop innovative water filtering technologies. This will help temper the length of time it takes to approve and build a new reservoir in Texas – 25 years or longer, he said.
Hussey said the College Station conference served as a hub for academic, industry, municipal utility and government officials to "come together as there is an interface between water and energy."
Conference sponsors were the Texas A&M Energy Institute and the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service. Corporate sponsors were ConocoPhillips, Texas A&M University System and Choice Partners.
