FC Dallas 1, San Jose Earthquakes 0 | MLS Match Recap
FRISCO, Texas – MLS-leading FC Dallas extended their home unbeaten streak to eight games on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over the visiting San Jose Earthquakes, who are still winless on the year away from Buck Shaw Stadium.
Heavy rains swept through the Dallas area a couple of hours before kickoff and drenched the field at FC Dallas Stadium, which seemed to slow down each team early in the game. The teams battled in midfield and neither created a meaningful chance through the half-hour mark.
Then in the 33rd minute, FC Dallas rookie center back and 2013 MLS SuperDraft first-round pick Walker Zimmerman, making his first career start, put his mark on the game by starting the sequence that led to the game's decisive goal.
OPTA Chalkboard: FC Dallas do enough to win despite losing possession battle
Earthquakes defender Justin Morrow sent in a cross that Zimmerman cleared directly to David Ferreira. The Dallas captain then carried the ball 40 yards upfield before passing to forward Fabian Castillo.
The young Colombian cut around San Jose's Jason Hernandez, and curled a well-placed left-footed shot around Jon Busch and into the bottom left corner of the net for his second goal of the season. The assist was Ferreira's fourth of the year and ties him with Michel for the team lead.
Minutes later, the Quakes went just inches away from tying it up. Dallas 'keeper Raul Fernandez punched a headed attempt from Alan Gordon that went straight to Victor Bernardez. The defender didn't need an invitation to shoot and ripped a hard right-footed volley from 22 yards out that beat Fernandez, but caromed off the crossbar.
Bernardez ended up being San Jose's leading shot-taker for the night as usually prolific poacher Chris Wondolowski managed only two shots. But he and his teammates pressed hard for a late equalizer after coach Frank Yallop threw on extra strikers and were only denied by several excellent plays by Fernandez.
The Dallas netminder had a brilliant night, stopping all six shots he faced, including a point-blank stoning of Wondolowski in the 81st minute and again in stoppage time. Fernandez now leads all MLS goalkeepers with 45 saves, pending the rest of the weekend's matches. The shutout is FCD's sixth of the season and Fernandez's fifth.
Both teams have long trips ahead for their third round US Open Cup matches on Tuesday. San Jose will be in South Carolina to take on USL PRO side Charleston Battery, while Dallas will travel further south, to Florida to face the NASL's Ft. Lauderdale Strikers.

Pell, Champion Of College Grants, Dies
Claiborne Pell, the quirky blueblood who represented blue-collar Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate for 36 years and was the force behind a grant program that has helped tens of millions of Americans attend college, died Thursday after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 90.
Pell, a Democrat, died at his Newport home just after midnight, according to his former assistant, Jan Demers.
Pell was first elected to the Senate in 1960. The skinny son of a New York congressman, Pell spoke with an aristocratic tone but was an unabashed liberal who spent his political career championing causes to help the less fortunate.
He disclosed he had Parkinson's in December 1994 and left office in January 1997 after his sixth term.
"Rhode Island has lost one of its greatest statesmen, one who embodied the highest ideals of public service," Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., said in a statement Thursday. "Senator Pell was a gentleman and champion for those who needed their voices heard, and his work truly made a difference for our state and the nation."
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, also a Rhode Island Democrat, called Pell "a mentor, example and friend" and "a uniquely beloved Rhode Island politician."
"We will all miss him deeply, and long benefit from the works of his farseeing soul," he said.
Quiet, thoughtful and polite to a fault, Pell seemed out of place in an era of in-your-face, made-for-television politicians. A multimillionaire, he often wore old, ill-fitting suits and sometimes jogged in a tweed coat.
Though criticized by some for his fascination with UFOs and extra sensory perception, he was best remembered for his devotion to education, maritime and foreign affairs issues.
When asked his greatest achievement, Pell always was quick to answer, "Pell Grants."
Legislation creating the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants passed in 1972, providing direct aid to college students. The awards were renamed "Pell Grants" in 1980. By the time Pell retired, they had aided more than 54 million low- and middle-income Americans.
Pell also shared a strong interest in the arts, and was chief Senate sponsor of a 1965 law establishing the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Pell was well-liked among peers from both political parties, who respected his non-confrontational style. "I believe in letting the other fellow have my way" was a favorite refrain Pell used to refer to his negotiating skills.
Born in 1918, Pell came from a political family and was a descendant of early New York landowners who lived among the old-money families in Newport. Five family members served in the House or Senate, including great-great-granduncle George M. Dallas, who was a senator from Pennsylvania in the 1830s and vice president under President James K. Polk in the 1840s. His father, Herbert Claiborne Pell, was a one-term representative from New York.
Pell graduated from Princeton in 1940, and served in the Coast Guard during World War II. He remained in the Coast Guard Reserve until retiring as a captain in 1978.
He participated in the 1945 San Francisco conference that drafted the United Nations charter and was a staunch defender of the institution throughout his life.
He served in the foreign service for seven years, holding diplomatic posts in Czechoslovakia and Italy, then returned to Rhode Island in the 1950s. He was elected to the Senate in 1960 after defeating two former governors in the Democratic primary.
Despite his peculiarities, he became the most formidable political force in Rhode Island. In his six statewide elections, he received an average 64 percent of the votes.
"I attribute (my popularity) to one reason, and that is I have never critically mentioned my adversary," Pell would say.
The late Republican Sen. John Chafee of Rhode Island once said Pell's popularity was due to the state's overwhelmingly Democratic leanings and Pell's honesty and integrity. Voters embraced Pell's quirkiness and, to a certain extent, his distance from common people.
A story from Pell's 1972 Senate campaign was a favorite in Rhode Island and was told often to illustrate his isolation from the average Joe.
Pell was campaigning in Providence when it began raining. Pell, who had a formal evening engagement, had forgotten his galoshes. An aide was dispatched and returned with a pair.
In his very formal manner of speech, Pell asked the aide, "To whom am I indebted for these fine rubbers?"
"I got them at Thom McAn, senator," the aide answered, referring to the budget shoe store chain.
"Well, do tell Mr. McAn that I am much obliged to him," Pell said.
A dove who vigorously opposed the Vietnam War, Pell in 1987 became chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. He was considered a weak chairman, and he lost the job to Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina when Republicans gained a majority in 1994.
Pell considered retiring in 1990, but was persuaded by party leaders to run. He easily defeated then-U.S. Rep. Claudine Schneider despite making a monumental gaffe during a televised debate in which he was asked to identify a piece of recent legislation he had sponsored to help Rhode Islanders.
"I couldn't give you a specific answer," Pell said. "My memory's not as good as it should be."
Pell was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in December 1994 and disclosed the condition the following spring. He insisted the disease had nothing to do with his retirement.
"There is a natural time for all life's adventures to come to an end and this period of 36 years would seem to me about the right time for my service in the Senate to end," he said in September 1995.
When attending a July 2006 ceremony in his honor in Newport, Pell did not talk, letting his wife, Nuala, speak on his behalf.
He and his wife, who married in 1944, had four children. Their daughter Julia died of lung cancer in 2006 at age 52.

Dairy - Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
Revered as one of the world's great cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano is superb on its own, nibbled in small bits, or added as a one-of-a-kind savory flavor to countless dishes, from antipasti to salads to polenta and more. Authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from Emilia-Romagna, the region in northern Italy that also produces true prosciutto di Parma and balsamic vinegar. Cheese makers there craft the cheese by hand using all-natural ingredients and following traditions almost 700 years old. The cheese is cut from wheels that have been aged at least 18 months and received the highest rating from the government's Parmigiano-Reggiano consortium, which attests to its quality and authenticity.

To successfully upload your HDR video to YouTube, use the HDR Tools effect in Final Cut Pro to limit the peak luminance of your video. Then, add the metadata required for proper processing and playback of your HDR video on YouTube.
Before you start, make sure to do the following:
- Set the color processing for the library to Wide Gamut HDR.
- Set the color space for the project to "Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 PQ."
Learn more about working with HDR video in Final Cut Pro and Compressor.
Use the HDR Tools effect
When color correcting an HDR video for YouTube, you should use the HDR Tools effect to apply a soft roll-off to limit the peak luminance, or brightness, of the clips in your project.
- In Final Cut Pro, choose Window > Show in Workspace > Inspector (or press Command–4) to open the Inspector.
- Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Effects (or press Command–5).
- Click the Color category in the Effects Browser.
- Drag the HDR Tools effect from the Effects Browser to a clip in the timeline, then select the clip in the timeline.
- In the HDR Tools Effect in the Video Inspector, choose PQ Output Tone Map from the Mode pop-up menu.

Revision as of 15:04, 28 February 2012
Overview of core client services
Orion provides a number of basic infrastructure services that can be used by client scripts for performing various tasks. These services have no user interface component and can be used within any page of a client application. This section of the guide outlines what services are available, along with simple examples of how to use them.
The orion.core.favorite service is used to access and store the user's bookmarks or favorites. While a user may opt to use their own browser's bookmark mechanism instead, there are some specific advantages to using Orion's favorite service instead:
- Favorites are persisted on the server, so the user can switch to another client computer or browser and access their familiar bookmarks
- Favorites are associated with a specific Orion application and user, so favorites from different users or applications are not all mixed into a single place.
- Favorites are used to suggest file and folder based parameters for other actions in Orion, such as moving and copying files to a location, or finding specific files.
Here is an example usage of the favorites service:
See orion.favorites.FavoritesService in the Orion client API reference for a complete list of functions available on the favorite service.
The orion.core.file service is used to provide file system contents for the Orion workspace. For example a plug-in can use this service to include content from one server into a workspace on another server. Each file service is displayed as a root element in the Orion Navigator page.
The code snippet below demonstrates a use of this service:
provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.core.file", service, {Name: 'Sample File System'});
The above code will contribute a top level node to the Navigator named "Sample File System". The parameter "service" in the API above must provide the functions specified by the Orion file client API. Refer to orion.fileClient.FileClient in the client API reference for further details. For more information on client-server interaction, see Orion File Server API. For an complete file system example, see the sample file plugin in the Orion Git repository.
The marker service is used to store problems found by a builder or syntax validator. A client can register with this service for notification when markers are changed. Here is an example of a component that is registering for notification of marker changes:
serviceRegistry.getService("orion.core.marker").addEventListener("problemsChanged", function(problems) { //do something with the new problems });
Each marker is a simple JSON object with the following properties:
- reason
- A string stating the description of the problem or marker
- line
- The line number of the marker
- character
- The column position of the marker
The preferences service manages a hierarchical set of preference nodes. Nodes are identified by a path string, where segments are delimited by the slash character ('/'). Each node is a JSON object with string keys and values that are String, Boolean, or Number.
Here is an example of retrieving a preference storing the list of recently used projects:
prefService.getPreferences("/window/recent").then(function(prefs) { var projects = prefs.get("projects"); if (typeof projects === "string") { projects = JSON.parse(projects); } if (projects && projects.length && projects.length > 0) { //do something with the projects } });
And here is an example of adding a new project to the list, and storing the result back in the preference service:
prefService.getPreferences("/window/recent").then(function(prefs) { var projects = prefs.get("projects"); if (typeof projects === "string") { projects = JSON.parse(projects); } projects.push({name: "My Proj", location: "http://example.com/myproj"}); prefs.put("projects", projects); });
The text link service scans text for segments that could be interpreted as hyperlinks, and inserts appropriate anchor elements representing each link. For example the service could scan for email addresses in a piece of text and convert them to mailto: links.
Here is an example of using the text link service:
var divWithLinks = linkService.addLinks(someText); dojo.place(divWithLinks, body, "first");
The text link service makes use of link scanners contributed by plugins to perform the analysis and replacement of text with links. If no link scanners are available, the text link service simply returns a DOM element containing the entire input text.
The content type service tells Orion about a new kind of file. The content types contributed to this service don't have any direct effect on the Orion UI, but they can be referred to by other services that need to associate themselves with a particular kind of file. For an example, see orion.navigate.openWith.
The Orion client UI defines a bunch of content types by default: see
webEditingPlugin.html in the client UI code.
Service attributes
- contentTypes
- An Array containing one or more content types to register. Each element of the array defines a new content type, and must have this shape:
- id
- String The unique identifier of the content type. This is a simple hierarchical name and should start with a category like "text" or "image".
- name
- String The user-readable name of the content type.
- extension
- String[] Optional. Array of file extensions characterizing this content type. (Extensions are given without the leading "." character).
- extension
- String[] Optional. Array of filenames characterizing this content type. Use this when a type does not have a characteristic file extension, but rather a filename. (For example, "Makefile", "README", "passwd").
- extends
- String Optional. If this content type is a subtype of another, this gives the parent content type's ID.
Service methods
None. This service is purely declarative.
This example code contributes contributes a new content type for Perl files. A Perl file extends from
"text.plain" and has the extension
provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.file.contenttype", {}, { contentTypes: [{ id: "text.perl", name: "Perl", extension: ["pl"], "extends": "text.plain" }] }); provider.connect();
The example code below contributes a new content type for Ant build files. An Ant build file is a special kind of XML file that always has the name "build.xml".
provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.file.contenttype", {}, { contentTypes: [{ id: "text.ant", name: "Ant build file", filename: ["build.xml"], "extends": "text.xml" }] }); provider.connect();

Childhood Anorexia and P.A.N.D.A.S. – A Missing Link?

New evidence suggests some cases of childhood anorexia nervosa may be caused by a treatable syndrome called PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). When I started researching PANDAS I came upon hundreds of stories of healing. Some were heartbreaking to read and learn what the children and families went through. But most end with […]


text: Distance Education Resource CenterShaw University provides courses in four modalities: face-to-face, online, hybrid, and via video-teleconferencing. Distance Education can be more convenient, effective, and rewarding than traditional face-to-face classes, but convenience doesn't mean it's easier. Success in Distance Education requires being proactive in your studies and taking responsibility for your own learning. Find out if Distance Education is right for you by completing a brief self-inventory.OnlineAn online course does not have scheduled on campus class meetings. It is an integrated learning program entirely accessed via a computer with an internet connection, except for proctored exams, if required. Shaw University uses Moodle as its course management system.Hybrid/BlendedA blended (hybrid) course is taught partly in the classroom and partly online.

Joint Meeting ESH-ISH 2020 - NEW DATES
Dear Colleagues,
The organizing committee of the 2020 ESH-ISH Joint Meeting in Glasgow, would like to inform you that in view of the global unprecedented situation related to COVID-19, the ESH-ISH Joint Meeting, has been rescheduled to April 11-14, 2021.
A statement from the International Society of Hypertension on COVID-19
The International Society of Hypertension (ISH) is aware of concern raised by speculation, which was amplified by the media and which suggested that hypertension (raised blood pressure) increases susceptibility to infection with COVID-19. Further speculation reportedly suggested that two commonly used classes of blood pressure lowering agents (ACE-Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs)) may worsen the outcome for those who are infected with COVID-19 (1).
The ISH completely endorses the content of two recent statements made by the Council on Hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension (2,3) both of which made clear that there is no good evidence to change the use of ACE-inhibitors or ARBs for the management of raised blood pressure in the context of avoiding or treating COVID-19 infection.

Sean Avery tweets "Fire John Tortorella!"
Former Ranger Sean Avery has called for John Tortorella to be fired. (Jonathan Kozub, Getty Images)
When he's not starring on E!'s Fashion Police or ripping off Charlie Sheen's catchphrases, professional lightning rod Sean Avery sets aside some time to follow his old club, the New York Rangers.
And like most of the team's fans, he's not too happy with the way things are going of late. In fact, the team's listless 3-0 loss to Montreal tonight inspired a rather pointed suggestion for Rangers' GM Glen Sather regarding the future employment of coach John Tortorella.
Avery, always on the cutting edge, decided to shared it on Twitter:
Now, Avery isn't exactly an unbiased observer here.
Back when Tortorella was a commentator on TSN, he tore into Avery after the "sloppy seconds" incident with Dion Phaneuf.
"He's embarrassed himself, he's embarrassed the organization," Tortorella said. "More importantly, he's embarrassed his teammates, who have to look out for him. It's the NHL, he's embarrassed the whole league. Send him home."
The duo ended up together in New York after that and, not surprisingly, they had their issues during a four-year run together on Broadway. In the end, it was Tortorella who decided that Avery couldn't cut it anymore, leading to Avery being waived and demoted to the AHL last season. When his controversial contract expired, he announced his retirement, as most players do, on the Bravo Network to pursue a career in advertising.
Is he acting out on a grudge here? Maybe. But while his choice of words is a little colorful, he's not exactly taking a bold stand on this one. The Rangers look like a group playing to get their coach fired. Tonight marked their second consecutive shutout loss and dropped New York to 3-6-1 in their last 10 games.
The chorus of voices calling for Tortorella to pay the price is growing with every defeat. After this one, it could get really noisy.
But it's one thing for the folks paying the bills to call for blood. They do it all the time. This may be a first for a former player to call for the termination of his old coach.
Classless? Sure. Good manners have never exactly been in Avery's wheelhouse.
But fun? Oh yeah. The only thing that would make it better would be live coverage of New York Post beat writer Larry Brooks reading the tweet to Torts for his reaction.
Please, please let that happen.

Using the SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Class Library
SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) is a new Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) tool that ships with SQL Server 2005. As with many of Microsoft's development tools, you can extend SSIS to perform other operations not already bundled with the product. SSIS provides the SSIS Class Library for just this purpose. The SSIS Class Library Object Model includes all the classes and interfaces you need to extend or augment SSIS.
The best way to learn the capabilities of a new object model is to study the key points-of-interest in the object model. SSIS lends itself well to the approach. The sample program included with this article (ExploreIS) navigates the key points-of-interest in the SSIS Class Library. The following sections walk you through ExploreIS to introduce key classes in the SSIS Object model.
One caveat before delving into the details: The samples were developed using the June 2005 CTP of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
A Primer for New SSIS Developers
Although this article assumes you're experienced with SSIS, an introduction to SSIS development is beyond its scope. If you are new to SSIS, read the Developer.com article "SQL Server Integration Services: SQL Server 2005's New ETL Platform" to gain an understanding of SSIS development.
Now, you're ready to begin learning about the SSIS object model. The first stop is an overview of ExploreIS.
ExploreIS Under the Hood
ExploreIS is a Visual Studio 2005 Form Desktop application that operates in a straightforward manner. When you pass the path of the Integration Services file (.dtsx) to the program, it navigates the DTSX file and prints information to a listbox on the main Form.
For demonstration, the application has been hard-coded to explore the Data Lineage sample thath ships with the SQL Server 2005 SDK code samples. The Data Lineage sample reads data from a text file, adds some lineage information to the data, and writes the data to the SQL Server 2005 AdventureWorks sample database. Figure 1 shows a view of the package as seen from the Package Explorer tab.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1. A View of the Data Lineage Package from the Package Explorer Tab
ExploreIS renders some of the contents of the Data Lineage package in a hierarchical fashion (see Figure 2). Thus, items at the lower levels are indented below the containing object.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 2. Results Returned by ExploreIS
Now that you understand the functionality of the sample code and have been introduced to the sample Data Lineage package, you can move on to the SSIS Object Model.
TaskHosts, Tasks, and Packages
When you develop a SSIS package, you drag, drop, and configure separate items from the Task toolbar into your project. Each Task component you drop into you project really consists of two primary classes, a TaskHost class and a Task class, along with other support classes.
The role each class plays in SSIS is partitioned as follows:
- TaskHost handles the behavior of the component in the SSIS environment. TaskHost includes event-handling functions, package variables, and logging.
- Task handles the execution of the component and may include other specialized classes called Data Flow Components.
The Data Lineage Sample contains two tasks, a Data Flow Task and an Execute SQL Task. The Package class maintains all parts of the SSIS package, including events, variables, and tasks. The Package class maintains TaskHosts (along with other classes) in a collection called Executables.
As you can see, the TaskHosts and Tasks have very specialized functions. The functionality of the Data Flow Task in SSIS is further subdivided into classes inheriting from the class PipelineComponent.
Pipeline Components
Pipeline Components are the muscles of the SSIS Data Flow Task. Pipeline Components work with ConnectionManager objects to move and transform all types of data. (A discussion of the ConnectionManager object will come later.)
In the Data Lineage Sample, you configure PipelineComponents on the Data Flow tab in the SSIS development environment. The Data Lineage Sample uses three PipelineComponents:
- A source component called Flat File Source
- A transformation component called Logged Lineage
- A destination component called OLE DB Destination
Note that the Data Flow Task appears to be implemented with unmanaged code. As you will see later in the article, a number of wrapper classes control access to this underlying unmanaged code. Because the underlying COM is hidden, you don't need to be a COM expert. Being aware of the underlying infrastructure will be useful should you encounter any difficulties using the SSIS Data Flow Task.
Now that you've been introduced to TaskHosts, Tasks, and PipelineComponents, you're ready to move on to the ConnectionManager.
ConnectionManagers are the classes underlying the Connections you see in the SSIS development environment. The Data Lineage sample package contains two Connection Managers: a SQL Server connection to the AdventureWorks database and a connection to the source data files.
ConnectionManagers are maintained in the Package class in a collection called Connections.
Now, you're finally ready to delve into the details of the sample program.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The wait is finally over.
The 2016-17 NBA season is upon us, complete with the headlines from training camps around the league and drama in places like Miami, Oklahoma City, Cleveland and Oakland, all before a single game (preseason or otherwise) has been played.
— Pat Riley says Chris Bosh's Heat career is "probably over," bringing an official end to the Heat's celebrated Big 3 era in crushing fashion.
— Russell Westbrook says he hasn't spoken to Kevin Durant since his former Thunder teammate bolted for Golden State in free agency, signaling that perhaps they were never as close as we were led to believe.
— LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cavaliers are already dealing with great (repeat) expectations from fans and pundits alike.
— Draymond Green is already doing his best to temper similar expectations in the Bay Area, now that the Warriors boast two KIA MVPs (Durant and Stephen Curry) on the same roster.
And all this came after Kevin Garnett announced his retirement after 21 seasons, cementing the Hall of Fame Class of 2021 (KG, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan will all be eligible) as one of the best in history.
On top of all that, we go a few rounds with the man himself, Ronnie2K, about the unveiling of NBA 2K17, which is always one of the highlights of a new NBA season.
You can get all of that and more on Episode 250 of The Hang Time Podcast featuring Ronnie2K.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand.

Weather Blog: First 70s of the season looming
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Spring has played out in slow motion this year with chilly temperatures and persistent rain. Only twice this spring has Milwaukee reached a high of 60 or warmer! That has lead to a chorus of questions asking, "When will we hit 70?" or "Will we get a spring?". In today's Weather Watch 12 Blog we use the LRC to show when warmer temperatures arrive, and how this warm-up was pinpointed back in March!
Let's start with an overview of average monthly temperatures through April 21. The Midwestern Regional Climate Center map below shows all of Wisconsin experiencing below average temperatures this month. The departure from average in Milwaukee is around 4 degrees below average. The cold has combined with snow to drive temperatures to the deep freeze over Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The overall weather pattern which set-up last fall continues to cycle or repeat, driving our current and future weather. The cycling weather pattern is described in a weather pattern theory we use called the LRC, or Lezak's Recurring Cycle. Just yesterday I was fielding questions on Twitter regarding the LRC. Before we show how the LRC allows us to pinpoint a specific warm-up weeks or more in advance, let's go over the basics of the theory.
- A unique weather pattern sets up every year between the start of fall and mid-November
- Long term long-wave troughs(low pressure) and ridges(high pressure) become established. These dominant repeating features are clues to where storm systems will reach peak strength, and where they will be their weakest.
- Once the weather pattern is set it cycles, repeats, and continues through winter, spring and into summer. Identifying the cycle length is key to making long range weather predictions.
- The LRC is a 10-11 month pattern! There is a pattern! It isn't just one long-wave trough, storm system, or ridge. It is a sequence of troughs and ridges that are cycling around the Northern Hemisphere
The cycle duration this LRC season(fall-summer) is around 53-51 days. This cycle duration was first identified in last October in the Weather Watch 12 Blog.
The LRC is easiest to see in the middle of the atmosphere since we are dealing with the large scale flow. The middle of the atmosphere is located at the 500mb pressure level.
Now let's simplify what we just discussed above to show why confidence is growing that the first 70s of the season may be looming. The map below is a 6 day forecast of the 500mb flow next Monday, April 29 at 7am. Since this is a model forecast for the future the features below will change some, but I think this forecast looks pretty good.
The focal points on this map have been labeled with numbers 1-4. The most important feature is 2, a trough over the northern Plains resulting in a southwest wind flow over the Midwest. This southwest flow should push warmer temperatures toward southern Wisconsin.
This is a feature we have seen in past cycles. For our comparison below we will go back 158 days, or 3 cycles(52.66 days per cycle). The map below is valid November 22, 2012. The key features are labeled 1-4, with special attention on 2 -- the trough over the northern Plains leading to a southwest flow.
Clearly looking at this map comparison you can see we are dealing with the same part of the weather pattern. In November and January this part of the pattern produced temperatures well above average.
With the knowledge of past cycles and knowing the duration, pinpointing weather events such as this warm-up moving forward is possible. On March 27 our forecast previewing April 2013 called for this warm-up to return. Here's an excerpt from that blog entry:
Potentially the warmest weather of the entire month arrives around April 26-27. This part of the pattern produced highs in the 50s in January, potentially 70s this time around? The warm-up will be ahead of storm system that may bring rain or thunderstorms to southeastern Wisconsin. Cooler weather will follow around April 28-29
The April forecast above was issued based on a 52 day cycle duration. Right now the cycle duration going back to November is a hair closer to 53 days(remember the cycle duration is around 51-53).
With that said the upcoming warm-up should begin around April 26-27 and likely peak April 28 or 29. This is an example of identifying the weather pattern using the LRC -- then projecting forward to make accurate forecasts weeks or months in advance.
The GFS temperature forecast map below shows temperatures at 1pm April 29, 2013. Notice the 70s across southeastern Wisconsin!
The exact timing of the warm-up will shift slightly in the coming days, but the odds of the first 70s of the season are looking good. The question for Milwaukee is whether a lake breeze would cheat the city from the 70s. Right now I think even Milwaukee will hit 70 during the warm spell. This warm-up will be followed by a cold front and a chance of showers and thunderstorms...also pinpointed a month in advance.
If you have questions regarding the LRC or this part of the pattern please feel free to ask.

Have a great day!

GOP gloats over Obamacare delay
Obamacare opponents on Tuesday had a "We told you so" moment.
As the Obama administration announced a one-year delay in the employer mandate, leading Republican lawmakers and political strategists painted the decision as an admission of the law's failures – and a blatant attempt to shield Democrats during the 2014 elections.
"Delaying the employer mandate is a clear admission by the Administration that the health care law is unaffordable, unworkable and unpopular," Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said in a statement. "It's also a cynical political ploy to delay the coming train wreck associated with Obamacare until after the 2014 elections."
( Also on POLITICO: Key Obamacare rule for business delayed)
The administration defended the delay as an effort to provide flexibility to the business community, but it's bringing negative attention to the law just as the White House and its health care allies launch a major campaign to sell Obamacare to the public. Enrollment in the exchanges starts in October.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who this week received a Democratic opponent in his 2014 reelection effort, used the delay to again call for "repeal and replace."
"Obamacare costs too much and it isn't working the way the administration promised," McConnell said in a statement.
House Speaker John Boehner also called for repeal and replace, rehashing Democratic Sen. Max Baucus's "train wreck" comment. Baucus – who helped write the law - earlier this year said he was worried that implementation would be a "train wreck" – a line that his GOP colleagues immediately picked up and amplified.
"This announcement means even the Obama administration knows the 'train wreck' will only get worse," Boehner said. "I hope the administration recognizes the need to release American families from the mandates of this law as well. This is a clear acknowledgment that the law is unworkable, and it underscores the need to repeal the law and replace it with effective, patient-centered reforms."
Meanwhile, the chairman of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Government reform questioned whether the White House even has the legal authority to put off the penalty.
"It is unclear that [President Barack Obama] has the authority to do this without Congress," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said in a statement. "This is another in a string of extra legal actions taken by his Administration to mask the horrible impact his law will have on the economy and health care in the United States."
As opponents beat up the delay Tuesday night, Democrats were left to defend the White House move as a commitment to providing flexibility on implementation of the massive health care overhaul.
"It is better to do this right than fast," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's spokesman, Adam Jentleson.
Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska, a moderate Democrat up for reelection next year, applauded the delay and even tried to take some credit for the move, saying he told the White House in May that businesses needed more information on the law.
"I'm pleased the administration is listening to me and the many businesses that are concerned about the complexity of the new requirements," Begich said in a statement. "Small business owners across this state keep telling me they need more information, time and simplicity to implement this law. I will keep asking the tough questions so the law is implemented as it was designed – to save families money and ensure that every American has access to good health care."

The NBA just announced the starters for the All Star Game. Looks like Kobe's in, and, uh, LeBron's playing center?
Here are the lineups:
- G Kyrie Irving
- G Dwyane Wade
- F Paul George
- F LeBron James
- F Carmelo Anthony
- G Kobe Bryant
- G Stephen Curry
- F Kevin Durant
- F Blake Griffin
- F Kevin Love
There aren't a ton of surprises here, since it was pretty obvious all along that Kobe was getting in, but even with the injury, Chris Paul not being on here is a little weird. And that East lineup is, uh, interesting. Melo can probably check Love, and LeBron, Blake, but still.
More notable is who's missing, obviously. A healthy Derrick Rose probably squeezes in there, and a full season of Russell Westbrook probably slides him past the absentee Kobe. At least there's Steph, who's somehow playing in his first ASG.
But starting lineups aren't the biggest deal anyway. The biggest deal is: Paul George Dunk Contest?

(The Root) — Reality-television shows are a dime a dozen. This fall, celebrities are dancing their way into our living rooms, wannabe stars are singing their hearts out in pursuit of fame and, of course, the Real Housewives, Love & Hip-Hop and Basketball Wives franchises give us our steady dosage of mean-girl shenanigans.
Season two of Basketball Wives L.A. recently premiered with the ladies pursuing business interests. Aspiring actress Gloria Govan is working on a cookbook featuring foods that reflect her black and Mexican roots. Last season's bad girl Draya Michelle is launching a bikini line, while Malaysia Pargo's "Three Beats" custom children's jewelry line seems to be taking off. Laura Govan reappears with a new everything — face and body included. She seems to recognize that her look is her brand, and this show is her bread and butter, aside from off-and-on provider and fiancé Gilbert Arenas. While the ladies are still upset with long-time actual basketball wife Jackie Christie about her tomfoolery from season one, they are willing to concede that much of their progress in the area of business is due to Christie's mentorship.
Taking a page from other reality shows raked over the coals for negative images of women (insert any of the Real Housewives franchises), the ladies of Basketball Wives L.A. appear to be focused on something other than digging up dirt on one another and hazing each other into the contrived "sisterhood" — at least for the moment.
While these young ladies are taking notes on Christie's prowess as a business woman (author, fashion designer and philanthropist), they may want to tune into TV One's hit reality show R&B Divas, which is well into its first season. R&B Divas features some of the R&B industry's most talented singers — Faith Evans, Syleena Johnson, Monifah Carter, Keke Wyatt and Nicci Gilbert-Daniels — and for the most part, they get along.
Any show with the word "diva" in the title is bound to have some friction, but these women, who are all at or nearing 40 (with the exception of 30-year-old Wyatt) are still contenders in an industry that is not kind to women in their age bracket. They have staying power because they have real talent and approach singing as a business, rehearsing constantly, seeing vocal coaches, writing songs, performing live and, besides Gilbert-Daniels, maintaining their professionalism at all times.
A good attitude and a serious approach to business have a lot to do with long-term success and staying power — something that the ladies of Basketball Wives L.A. should jot down. Storming off of sets, mistreating a published author — even one who was uninvited — at a tasting for your cookbook and choosing to stay mired in conflict is not the recipe for long-term success.
Can viewers remember what Govan was serving or if the ladies even enjoyed her food? Probably not. I bet viewers remember Govan's petulant behavior toward Christie, the woman with two books under her belt, when Govan could have been professional and invited her feedback on the tasting, possibly gaining advice on pursuing a book deal.
The women on R&B Divas are far from perfect — in fact, Gilbert-Daniels, who is an executive producer on the show, has zero likability. Being a know-it-all who is wrong a lot, inflexible and prone to tantrums is not a good look. As professionals focused on the business of singing, these ladies know that if they want their TV series and charity albums to succeed, they'll have to continue to deliver on the uplifting nature of the show highlighted in the promos.
Despite Gilbert-Daniels' antics, Evans, Carter and Wyatt prove each week why they are still relevant and forces to be reckoned with in the R&B arena. Even Gilbert-Daniels, who can be combative and resistant to everything, has enough business know-how to sign on as an executive producer of the show, which means she'll be paid whether or not she remains as talent. If the ladies of Basketball Wives L.A. plan on relevancy or longevity, then they may want to put on their big-girl pants and tune in to R&B Divas to get some tried-and-true lessons from divas who have actually earned their titles and have staying power.

Greetings wonderful blogfriends! I missed you terribly. But i have been lurking around your blogs, spying on your lives and your words of wisdom without making any comments most of the time. This last year has been extremely productive and amazingly artistic, but as my birthday approaches some things are becoming clear to me. I was on vacation in a beautiful isolated greek island called Mathraki. The beach was sandy, two klms long and we were the only two people on it for most of the time. The water of the sea had a green, blue and gold colour and it was so clear as if in a pool and pretty warm. The whole vacation was an extremely metaphysical experience and the place full of butterflies, chirping birds and a green forest that begun right after the beach was like a meditational creation of my imagination. I could n't ask for a more magical place. I stayed there for ten beautiful days, swimming all day long, hiking in the forest in the afternoons and i meditated every day. When your life so suddenly pauses for a while, and everything else seems to stay still you understand how hectic your ways are. For as long as i can remember, i have been doing too many things at the same time, trying too hard not to fail in any of them. I had to attend the university, my classical singing studies, and work full time. I was always overworked, overstressed living too many lives at once. Then i quit school and my work blossomed and my classical studies went great. This last year with two years left for my diploma, my studies became challenging and much more time consuming than i ever could imagine. I have one year left which i dread and cherish at the same time. But lately, i realised i want a baby. This, me the psychic, i had n't seen it coming. My plans were to take my diploma and audition for singing roles while working. But, i can not be a soprano, a working psychic and a mom. Two of those things would be too much just by themselves. So, the reality hit me in the face when i least expected it. After my diploma and all that work, i would n't sing anymore. It is the end of a wonderful and long journey. But i know i will not regret it. I want a baby. And this is a far more fulfilling journey, for me. I will give my best this one last year. But for once singing will be a hobby. It was never that. But being a psychic, expect that i lead a successful business, fills my every day with magic. I love singing, but in my core i am a witch. It is not just that i love it more. It is who i am. Filling my day with metaphysical activities, working on my magic and connecting with the elements and the Goddess, makes me happy. Makes me feel like i am home. Be blessed, be loved and be relaxed it is summer for crying out loud!

Good luck wit your new-found paths and decisions!
The good thing is that you can keep up with singing, and take it up again with all your passion when you (and your child/ren) are older.

Oh my, your vacation sounds like a dream to me. I have often said … for years now … that an ideal vacation (or life, it seems) would be on a secluded Greek island.
As for the rest that you express, I can relate. Well, to the having so much that paring back becomes vital - even with "good" stuff. As to wanting a baby, how exciting. As for singing … I can hear you singing … to your baby.

A new term I've learned recently is that there are seasons to life. Singing will return in another season and all things will ebb and flow as your mothering will evolve. your future child/children will be so lucky to have such a well rounded and talented mama!

Making great drinks at home is fun, cheaper than going out, and easier than you might think. I've distilled twenty years of home-bartending experience along with the advice of some of the country's best professional bartenders to create my book "Home Bar Basics (and Not-So-Basics)," a pocket-sized Cocktails 101 guide. This companion website expands beyond the content of the book with additional recipes and tips, product reviews, and more.
In this section, I'll cover The Basics: twelve drinks that form the core of a home bar menu. Master these and you'll be ready for the more advanced recipes in The Not-So-Basics.
|Old Fashioned
|Mint Julep
|Cuba Libre (Preparado)
|Tom Collins
|Rusty Nail
I recommend building this set of basic tools and booze as you go along, rather than buying them all at once. Start with what you need for one drink and go from there.
Hardware: Cocktail shaker (Cobbler or Boston), Mixing glass, Jigger, Citrus juicer or reamer, Hawthorne strainer (if using Boston shaker), Fine mesh strainer, Muddler, Barspoon, Cocktail picks, Vegetable peeler, Tovolo Perfect Cube ice trays
Glassware: Old Fashioned (7 oz) glasses, Cocktail (6 – 8 oz) or Coupe (3 – 5 oz) glasses, Collins (10 oz) glasses
Spirits: Bourbon whiskey, Rye whiskey, Scotch whisky (blended or Speyside), Light rum, London Dry gin, Old Tom gin, Brandy or Cognac, Tequila (plata or reposado)
Mixers & Liqueurs: Italian vermouth (keep cold), French vermouth (keep cold), Triple Sec, Herbsaint, Drambuie, Simple syrup, Sparkling mineral water or tonic water, Coca-Cola
Juices, Accents, & Garnishes: Fresh citrus: lemons, limes, and oranges, Fresh mint, Angostura bitters, Peychaud's bitters, Orange bitters, Luxardo maraschino cherries, Pimento-stuffed green olives
England & America (mid 18th century)
Pendennis Club, Kentucky (1888)
The Old Fashioned is essentially The Original Cocktail, with roots going back to the mid 1700s at least. Back in the day, it could've been any kind of booze (in Wisconsin, they still do this one with brandy). Bourbon respects the drink's established Kentucky roots.
Bitters are what makes this drink. Research into their history by David Wondrich and Brad Thomas Parsons indicates the first known bitters were patented in London in 1712 as a cure-all tonic to help settle the stomach. Roots, barks, spices, dried fruit peel, flowers, and just about anything else was fair game to be tossed in the pot along with grain spirit (to extract their essential compounds). These bitters would be combined with white wine or brandy, often taken as a hangover cure. Around 1750 or so, someone came up with the idea of adding a bit of sugar and water to make the mix more palatable. As these things tend to go, this combination spread to Colonial America as not just a healthy quaff, but a recreational delight. The word "cocktail" was first used in print in by the Hudson, New York newspaper The Balance, and Columbian Repository in 1806 to describe this trendy little number as such:
"Cock tail, then is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters it is vulgarly called a bittered sling, and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said also, to be of great use to a democratic candidate: because, a person having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow any thing else."
All drinks using this template were called "Cocktail" for years and years. It would've been "Rum Cocktail" or "Brandy Cocktail" or "Whiskey Cocktail." As the 19th century marched along and all kinds of new drinks emerged with unique identifying names (Martinez, Manhattan, Martini), people came to ask for this original version as the "Old Fashioned" cocktail. The bar at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky helped standardize this name and recipe – specifying bourbon as the preferred spirit. As the century turned and Prohibition restricted access to "the good stuff," people took to adding all kinds of adulterants to make the drink less awful: muddled oranges, cherries, lemons – even pineapple and mint on occasion. A drowning in seltzer was the final disgrace. And wouldn't you know it, that formula stuck all the way through the next turn of the century, when people got their hands on copies of old 19th-century recipe books that called for the original, simple style of spirit, sugar, water (as ice) and bitters – with just a little hit of orange oil that perfectly unifies the caramel and vanilla of the bourbon with the holiday spices of the bitters.
Hardware: Jigger, Barspoon, Vegetable peeler or sharp knife
Ice: Ice rock or ice cubes
Glassware: Old Fashioned glass
Spirits: Bourbon whiskey – overproof (100 or more) stands up well (recommended: Bulleit, Four Roses "Yellow Label", Wild Turkey)
Mixers & Liqueurs: Rich simple syrup (2:1)
Juices, Accents, & Garnishes: Angostura bitters, Orange twist, Orange wheel (optional), Luxardo maraschino cherry (optional)
Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, cut a strip of orange peel to make:
1 orange twist
Don't include too much of the bitter white pith, if any. Holding the twist with the outside facing down over an Old Fashioned glass, pinch to express orange oil into the glass. Reserve the twist for a garnish. Into the glass, add:
3 dashes Angostura bitters
1/4 oz rich simple syrup
Add an ice rock or two to three ice cubes then add:
2 oz bourbon whiskey
Stir briskly to blend and chill. Insert the orange twist as a garnish.
Some people like an additional orange wheel and cherry garnish, some say all that does is take away from the whiskey. As you like it.
