You're familiar with contrails, the tracks left by airplanes as they move across the sky. Those are made when hot water vapor from the exhaust of jet engines hits cold, high-altitude air and condenses into ice.
Under the right conditions, big ships can leave a very similar trail, but it's caused by a slightly different mechanism. Incomplete combustion of fossil fuels means little particles of dust—aerosols—come out in the exhaust. Water molecules are attracted to these aerosols. As water builds up around a piece of dust, you get a cloud. Yes, it's basically cloud-seeding.
This photo of oceanic "contrails" over the Pacific is one of NASA's Images of the Day today, but it's not the first time they've featured this kind of photo. This is a cool phenomenon and they've posted photos of it in 2002, 2005, and 2009.
Thanks Philip Bump!Discuss

Blatant disinformation – contrails are caused by Barak HUSSEIN Obama and socialism!!!!

I see what you did there.
Everyone know that it's… CHEMtrails, and they're part of an Illuminati conspiracy.
But YOU wouldn't know that, would you?

You're totally right. I did my research on YouTube.

Chem-trails. Calling card of the scientifically illiterate.
If you hear this in a conversation, just smile, nod and back away quickly. Or..slap on a tinfoil hat and dive into the rabbit hole just to see how deep it goes.

What about this: Bill Gates (cited from London Guardian) wants to spray particles into the atmosphere (paraphrazed from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7abNph918lM
Does it still sound farfetched for you? And, why the arrogance?
Antinous / Moderator says:

And, why the arrogance?
Because it's batshit crazy.
ryuchi says:
Avoid labeling people. Bill Gates pushing about spraying, below (not that they aren't spraying already…).
London Guardian:
"…A small group of leading climate scientists, financially supported by billionaires including Bill Gates, are lobbying governments and international bodies to back experiments into manipulating the climate on a global scale to avoid catastrophic climate change.
The scientists, who advocate geoengineering methods such as spraying millions of tonnes of reflective particles of sulphur dioxide 30 miles above earth, argue that a "plan B" for climate change will be needed if the UN and politicians cannot agree to making the necessary cuts in greenhouse gases, and say the US government and others should pay for a major programme of international research.
Solar geoengineering techniques are highly controversial: while some climate scientists believe they may prove a quick and relatively cheap way to slow global warming, others fear that when conducted in the upper atmosphere, they could irrevocably alter rainfall patterns and interfere with the earth's climate…"

Does this cause ocean warming (obviously on a small scale)? Since you now have solid matter clumping together in/under the water is seems like it would absorb more infrared energy than just plain/clean seawater. Doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to install particulate filters on the exhaust systems…(of course we see how well controls like this work for every other industry).
Aaron Geiger says:
Maggie, have you ever researched the science of sonar as applied to modern warfare? I remember having to "tag out" the sonar equipment so nobody would use it in the event divers were nearby—the sonar can concuss and kill people underwater. It's even used as a defense against possible attacks by theoretical "enemy divers" attaching explosives to the hull. Also, the energy output by a sonar dome is so much that it literally boils the water around it. I don't know how the dolphins survive as they swim alongside the ships as they actively ping.
JR Peck says:
Contrails contribute to global dimming and keep things cooler – I'd guess these work the same way. (meant this to be a reply to bcsizemo – messed it up somehow I think)
DreadJester says:
A friend of mine at work believes in the whole "chemtrail" thing. He came up to me one day talking about how the government was really spraying a lot today because there were so many "chemtrails" in the sky. I looked back at him and told him they were contrails caused by jet engines and were nothing to be afraid of. I said that I have been seeing them since I was a young kid, to which he got real wide eyed and said, "Man they've been spraying us for that long??" I'm 41 btw and this conversation just happend about a month ago.
I should show him these pictures and really push him over the edge…………
ryuchi says:
Your friend may be right about some things: Contrails are frozen water condensation particles that melt typically ten seconds after being released. The DO NOT persist, spread and form FULL cloud cover. What he refers about is probably spraying of aluminium particles either for Geoengineering purposes or as additive to jet fuel (increases combustion, saw patent).
Cntrails do not form in warm air–they form in high altitudes (remember-frozen water particles). Yet, in the same day you can see what is called Chemtrail (persistent and spreading) in very low altitude while in the same time you have five miles above (in the exact same area) a normal 10 sec lasting contrail…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors have finished their case against a group of nine defendants charged in a conspiracy to commit sexual trafficking of children operated by Somali gangs.
The federal jury could hear closing arguments on Wednesday afternoon after more than two weeks of testimony in the case that spans from Minnesota to Tennessee. Seven of the nine defendants on trial and several key witnesses have been from the Somali refugee communities in Minneapolis and Nashville.
The U.S. Attorney's Office is trying to prove a wide-ranging conspiracy by the gangs to use girls under the age of 18 as prostitutes, but defense attorneys have argued the exact age of the prosecution's main witness, a Somali female identified only as Jane Doe No. 2, is not known because her birth certificate is faked.

State Department Will Likely Get $1.4B for Security Upgrades
Congress will likely dole out over a billion to help prevent another Benghazi-style incident.
The State Department will likely get the extra funding it says it needs to prevent another attack like the deadly September assault that killed four Americans in Libya.
Both the Senate and House versions of a bill that provides the funding to the State Deptartment includes $1.4 billion extra to revamp security at embassies and other facilities worldwide, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday. Just under $160 million would go toward upgrades to Diplomatic Security—the department's in-house bodyguards and law enforcement officers—and $1.3 billion is for upgrades to buildings.
[PHOTOS: U.S. Ambassador Killed in Libya]
The funding is aligned with the results of an Advisory Review Board report last year, which offered 29 recommendations to prevent a Benghazi-style attack from happening again.
"We here at the State Department very much appreciate the efforts of both the House and the Senate to craft a continuing resolution that provides funding for the remainder of the year. And we're also pleased that that funding includes quite a bit of flexibility for enhanced Diplomatic Security," said Nuland.
The Senate version of the Continuing Resolution bill would withdraw the $1.4 billion from the department's Overseas Contingency Operations savings fund.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was supposed to testify before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in December to discuss the department's efforts to tighten security. Two senior officials testified instead after Clinton suffered a concussion from collapsing due to illness.
[READ: Top U.S. General Says Benghazi Threats Were Not Unique]
The new funding will go toward a 5 percent increase in the number of Diplomatic Security staff, as well as deploying roughly 35 more detachments of Marine Security Guards, which are tasked with guarding classified materials, not people.
"The use of additional Marine detachments would be enormously helpful," said Deputy Secretary of State Thomas R. Nides. "They will serve as a visible deterrent to hostile acts."
"We'll also be asking to build barracks on our grounds so they actually live on the facility or close by," he added.
A Government Accountability Office official testified before Congress in November that the State Department had repeatedly ignored calls for help from an overworked Bureau of Diplomatic Security. Protecting embassies in Baghdad and Kabul drained funds from other endangered sites, the GAO official said.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons About Congress]
"Diplomatic Security, because of its report function, will salute smartly and continue to fulfill the mission whether it has the resources it needs or not," said Michael Courts, the GAO's acting director of international affairs and trade. "They are not in a position to say 'No' when they are asked to provide support."
The facility in Benghazi where Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died was not an official U.S. embassy or consulate, but rather a "rented villa," according to sources familiar with the facility. It did not have many standard-issue security protocols for embassies, such as a roof hatch to allow escape.
Stevens died of smoke inhalation inside the building.

The Tonawanda News
NORTH TONAWANDA — Two North Tonawanda residents who died in a fire at their North Tonawanda home Monday night have been identified.
Dorothy Burns, 84, was pronounced dead at the scene near the front entrance of the 53 Third Ave. house after firefighters forced entry. Her daughter, Kathleen Watson, 62, who was discovered unconscious in the rear of the structure, was rushed to DeGraff Memorial Hospital where she died. Investigators say the cause of death for both victims was smoke inhalation.
Police and firefighters were called to the scene at approximately 10 p.m. Monday after a neighbor reported a fire in the home's living room.
Lapham said the home was full of clutter, which made fighting the fire difficult. One firefighter sustained minor injuries. Damages are estimated at $35,000.

Vanilla Bean Powder
Vanilla powder is handy to keep on hand in your kitchen for flavoring many different types of desserts and beverages. Our vanilla powder is made by taking pure vanilla oleoresin and drying it onto a carrier (in this case, maltodextrin). No sugar or other ingredients are added to the product.
Many beverages are complimented by the addition of vanilla powder. Hot chocolate is one example. It also goes well as an ingredient in holiday eggnog, along with allspice and cinnamon. Your yogurt breakfast smoothie, with fresh fruit like banana and berries, will benefit from a pinch of vanilla as well.Many desserts would not have the same appeal without vanilla powder. Chocolate and vanilla are natural companions in many dishes, including puddings and pies. Simple whipped cream tastes amazing when a touch of vanilla bean powder is added, as a final flourish to many desserts. Apple pie calls for vanilla as one of the filling ingredients. All manner of fruit salad are especially appealing when this luxury spice has been added. Poached fruit can increase their succulence when a bit of vanilla is added to the final minutes of cooking.
Fruits also work well as a base for tempura batters. You can slice bananas, for instance, and dunk them in a tempura batter that contains vanilla, and then deep fry them until golden, and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Fruits such as pineapple can be placed on metal skewers and grilled, with a vanilla dipping sauce for eating afterward.
When you buy vanilla powder from Starwest Botanicals, you will enjoy our quality products offered with superior customer service and fair prices.
Ingredients: Conventional: Dextrose and Madagascar vanilla bean extractives.
Organic: Organic ground sucrose and organic vanilla bean extractives.

Anderson University Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) won Purdue University's annual Battle in Boilerland last weekend. The financial analysis competition pitted SIFE representatives from five universities against each other to determine who could present the best scenario to help a young married couple emerge from debt.
Michael Flick, marketing major at the Falls School of Business at AU, participated in the competition for the second time. "This is a chance to do something you don't normally do," said Flick. "We acted as the couple's financial advisors. Being college students, with debt of our own, people wouldn't normally ask us for advice."
The 36-hour competition began Thursday night when the team was given the scenario. After working through Friday the teams presented to a panel of business personalities their solution for the couple's debt management.
"The presentation was very intense," said Lisa Sjoquist, an accounting major, comparing the setting to "The Apprentice" boardroom sessions. "But the experience met and exceeded my expectations. It really was rewarding."
Attempting to take a thorough approach to managing the couple's debt, the team contacted advisors across the spectrum, from credit card companies to counseling services the fictional couple could go to for help. Flick thinks the real-world solution contributed to the victory. "The judges knew we worked hard to try to find our solution," he said.
AU SIFE received third place at last year's Battle in Boilerland. The team will travel to Arizona in March to compete in a national competition. "I take great pride in seeing the quality of our team members confirmed by others outside of our organization," added John Van Drunen, president of AU SIFE.
SIFE is an international organization found on over 1,500 campuses in 37 countries. The organization exists to "change the world" by teaching important economical concepts relating to business and free enterprise. Students have been involved in SIFE at Anderson University for over 15 years.
Anderson University is a private, four-year, Christian liberal arts institution of approximately 2,700 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, nursing, education and theology. The Falls School of Business is one of Anderson University's largest academic departments offering eight undergraduate majors as well as MBA and DBA programs. The school is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business School and Programs (ACBSP) and is a member of the Christian Business Faculty Association (CBFA).

to enslave with domestication
to enslave with domestication
it is always superficial, caused by humans without gumption.
their hearts are frozen. their dysfunctionality, contagious.
i am preoccupied with difficulties. the air is too cold.
with temerity i shiver. the communal sun radiates not on me.
a treasure from my mother might be a memory of times past.
it's a species thing. natural. days of wretched misery.
hours of dolorous suffering. i am stabbed by unblunted thorns.
calluses form as if I were to transmute into an uncultivated cactus.
i question the distress in the experience of humanity:
to savor. to self-reflect. to engage in life with exactitude.
to appraise with attitude. to enslave with domestication.
i stare with solemnity, "is protection around the corner?"

Joel Kotkin, Contributor
I cover demographic, social and economic trends around the world.
When Jerry Brown was elected governor for a third time in 2010, there was widespread hope that he would repair the state's crumbling and dysfunctional political edifice. But instead of becoming a Californian Mikhail Gorbachev, he has turned out to be something more resembling Konstantin Chernenko or Yuri Andropov, an aged hegemon desperately trying to save a dying system.
As with the old party bosses in Russia, Brown's distinct lack of courage has only worsened California's lurch toward fiscal and economic disaster. Yet as the budget woes worsen, other Californians, including some Democrats, are beginning to recognize the need for perestroika in the Golden State. This was most evident in the overwhelming vote last week in two key cities, San Diego and San Jose, to reform public employee pensions, a huge reversal after decades of ever more expansive public union power in the state.
California's "progressive" approach has been enshrined in what is essentially a one-party state that is almost Soviet in its rigidity and inability to adapt to changing conditions. With conservatives, most businesses and taxpayer advocates marginalized, California politics has become the plaything of three powerful interest groups: public-sector unions, the Bay Area/Silicon Valley elite and the greens. Their agendas, largely unrestrained by serious opposition, have brought this great state to its knees.
California's ruling troika has been melded by a combination of self-interest and a common ideology. Their ruling tenets center on support for an ever more intrusive, and expensive, state apparatus; the need to turn California into an Ecotopian green state; and a shared belief that the "genius" of Silicon Valley can pay for all of this.
Now this world view is foundering on the rocks of economic reality. The Soviet Union armed itself to the teeth and sent cosmonauts into space while the public waited on line for toothpaste and sausages. Similarly, Californians suffer from a combination of high taxes and intrusive regulation coupled with a miserable education system — the state's students now rank 47th in science achievement — and a rapidly deteriorating infrastructure.
The current recession has been particularly severe, continuing at a more acute level than in most states, including places like Florida and Arizona, which also suffered greatly from the housing bust. California now has the third highest unemployment rate in the U.S., beating out only its co-dependent evil twin Nevada and Rhode Island. At the same time, according to a recent Public Policy Institute of California study, inequality in the devoutly "progressive" state has been growing much faster than in the rest of the country.
The most auspicious sign of grassroots support for perestroika was last week's smack down of public employee unions in San Jose and San Diego. For the first time in recent memory, the unions suffered a humiliating defeat — the measures passed by a margin greater than two to one — as voters endorsed deep reform of the pension burdens bringing these cities to the brink of bankruptcy. Backed by its Democratic mayor, Chuck Reed, San Jose's measure B aims to reduce pension benefits for both future and current hires. Unsurprisingly, the public employee have threatened to sue.
This may precipitate what could become the California equivalent of a prairie fire. Like San Jose and San Diego, many other California cities are on the verge of bankruptcy. Union-dominated Los Angeles could be the next big domino to fall, according to the city's own chief administrative office, and has been forced to boost its bonded indebtedness and cut back on critical infrastructure spending to stave off the inevitable.
As services drop and taxes rise — California's already are among the nation's highest — voters increasingly realize that one of the main problems is over-generous pensions for public sector workers. This is reflected in the sad reality that the state consistently competes with Illinois for the worst bond rating in the country. Most recently, the state upped its deficit estimate to $16 billion from a $9.2 billion estimate made just in January.
Brown could have used this mounting crisis to reveal his inner Gorbachev. But instead, he has so far chosen a classic Chernenko-Andropov muddle. He proposed a mild pension reform but could not persuade his own party — aware that vengeful the unions will be around long after the old man is gone — to consider it.
Ted – you are more right that you can possibly imagine. Wealthy liberals despise the 'common' people. And Democratic policies are creating – purposly – a three class society – lots of poor, the bureaucrats/government workers – party apparatchiks, and a few wealthy. This is the Democratic paradise – sound familiar? Better get used to waiting on long lines for consumer goods (like razor blades).
Victory gin, anyone?
I don't think they do it on purpose and consider themselves as supporters of the middle class. But the results are the same, in many other places too. High tax, liberal policies really raise the cost of living, and do other things like reduce good paying manufacturing jobs for blue collar workers. The high tax, highly regulated economy they favor works ok for software developers and other members of the information economy, but not for the working class. Because these people are not personally affected by the bad policies they support, they aren't aware of the damage they cause.
"When Jerry Brown was elected governor for a third time in 2010, there was widespread hope that he would repair the state's crumbling and dysfunctional political edifice".
Why anybody imagined that Jerry Brown would solve a problem that he helped create is hard to believe.
But millions (over 5 million) of lemmings voted for him, so it happened.
If they had voted for Meg Whitman then there's a chance that California might have avoided bankruptcy, but only a slim chance.
Because the lemmings are in every nook and cranny of the political system and most Californians still want something for nothing.
"Avoided bankruptcy"?
As I understand it, a State can't technically go bankrupt, but in practice, California is way past bankrupt and still talking about trains to nowhere etc.
But tell me please, why did Obama model the US economy on California instead of any several more successful states?
Renewed hope for recovering the state's former greatness? What nonsense. A key part of what made California great was affordable property based on a manageable population density. That was sixty years ago. There is no way for the population to return to fifteen million. Today, teachers, firemen, police, university students and others face housing costs (adjusted for inflation) double what they were in the 1950s. Higher housing costs drive higher salaries of public employees, and in turn drive higher taxes. Look it up, do the math.
I don't know why there would have been the "hope" for Gov. Brown 2.0 you refer to, or why there would be the prospect of perestroika with the Legislature that remains through it all.
The revolution to save California is coming from smaller communities and rural areas most impacted by the collapsing economy and insane regulations from Sacramento. We don't care about Silicon Valley, Hollywood or venture capitalists throwing money at 24-year-old kids. We care about government wanting more money for fewer services, closed parks and crowded schools. The shift is on in NorCal and will spread to the rest of the State as we are presented with more hideously stupid tax increase proposals.
Gee whiz – the Democratic model of governing doesn't work! Who would have thought?
Look, the Democratic Party – the most corrupt entity on the planet – does not care about governing. You make a mistake in thinking that these people want prosperity – they don't. They know that high taxes, burdensome regulations, criminalized communities, shattered families means that Republicans leave the state and those that remain vote Democrat. Plus, if people leave more people can be imported and immigrants usually vote democrat in the mistaken – very mistaken belief that Democrats are pro-poor people.
Democrats are for poor people only if the objective is continued poverty.
The unholy alliance of Democrats and public unions (by the way how is it that the law allows public unions to make political donations – must have been a democratic idea) means that Democrats get taxpayer funding for elections. That means they never lose since the Republicans will never be able to match what Democrats are able to do.
Until of course, the Detroitification of California gets underway, which is what we have now.
But people should learn – Democrats are the most corrupt organization on the planet. They can't govern well since the organization is institutionally corrupt. Think about that next time you vote.
Jerry Brown is not the man I remember when I started work for the State under his administration 31 years ago. Where is the innovation, the vision? After Schwarzenegger left I thought things would change, a new beginning. Unfortunately, the corporate culture has not changed one bit under Jerry Brown, it is like Arnold Schwarzenegger never left office in terms of how the day to day State administration runs.
I have urged governor Brown to reach out to the rank and files to help cut the red tape. We hate red tape as much or more than anyone, we have to wade through this gauntlet of internal red tape every day. It is the administration's management and the overpriced consultants who love the red tape.
Give us rank and files a chance to have a seat at the table with management to work on cutting the needless red tape Only together as a team, rank and files and management, can we change the way State government does business for the better for all of Californians. The politics of division, us and them, unions and management, has to change. The economy sucks, and we must work together to cut the red tape to help business, not regulate them to death. Our general prosperity will never improve unless we cut the government red tape.
Joel. I see absolutely no hope for California with Obama, Jerry Brown, the environmentalist is charge. Its a wacko state. They keep getting deeper and are hoping we will keep voting democrat.
Not gonna happen.
If you want to know if there is any hope for CA all you have to do is look at a Presidential Preference polls between Obama and Gov Romney in California. The most recent Field poll had Obama up 16 points over Gov Romney, and other polls gave Obama an even bigger lead. That tells you all you need to know. Obama is the extreme left wing architect, at a national level, of what CA has been doing to itself for 2 decades. More debt, more trillions spent on public employee unions, on extreme left wing interests groups, on green insanity like Solyndra, and green jobs that cost 2 million a job. CA had a chance to recover in 2010, but it rejected recovery and voted for Gov Moonbeam, and the worst most extreme left wing Senator in Senate History, Senator Boxer. So of course eveything has gotten worse in CA. They voted for more debt, more waste, and more taxes and that's what they are getting. And the fact that they pretty overwhelmingly support Obama doing the exact same thing to our nation shows that there is no hope. Anyone in CA that works hard for a living or owns a business can stay and let the democrats, public employee unions, and extreme left suck the life blood from them, or they can leave. Its that simple. The vast majority of Californian's like the mess they've created and are voting to make it worse in their state, and by supporting Obama to inflict it on the rest of us. So let them bleed the richest state in the nation and each other dry!

It's been almost three months since Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coast, destroying and ravaging homes and unraveling lives.
And three months later, a drive through the Good Luck Point and Glen Cove sections of Bayville is depressing and bleak.
Good Luck Point was and remains a horror show since Sandy struck. Houses knocked off their foundations. Homes tilted even more than they were in October, as foundations crack in the frigid January air. Some rooms and houses have simply disapppeared.
Good Luck Point was once a neighborhood. Not anymore. Almost everyone is gone, except for those few who live in homes built later and higher than the modest homes that went up in the 1950s and 1960s.
"Done With It," one owner spraypainted on his Beach Drive home.
There are similar scenes in Glen Cove. Many residents, like Township Council President James J. Byrnes, will have to wait until they can go home again.
Some have to demolish their houses, others have to wait to see how high they have to go up after repairs are made. A dumpster sits outside Jim Byrnes' home now. Half of his house has been torn down.
Drive farther down Bayview Avenue and turn left on Balsam Drive. The older houses are open to the elements, sagging on their foundations. Will these people ever be able to return?
This January seems colder than most.

AUSTIN -- A 16-year-old boy died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday on the campus of Lanier High School.
That contradicts initial reports by the Austin Police Department that the incident involved a student cutting another student.
Austin ISD officials confirmed the suicide reports just before 1:30 p.m. in a tweet, "#AISD PD: A student shot himself at Lanier High School a short while ago. The student has succumbed to the wound."
AISD also tweeted that Superintendent Dr. Meria Carstarphen informed Lanier parents and team members about the incident through telephone and emails.
The Austin Independent School District released the following statement from Superintendent Meria Carstarphen regarding an incident:
"Based on the information available to us at this time, I regret to inform you that a student shot himself at Lanier High School a short while ago. The student has succumbed to the wound. And, the students at the campus who were on lockdown are being released to their homes.
Buses will be available for students who ride the bus home. Parents also may pick up their students at the school. If parents are unable to pick up their students, busses will provide transportation.
We are saddened by this tragic loss. Our thoughts are with the family."
According to a mother of a Lanier student, the incident happened in the school's courtyard around noon.
Police have not released the name of the student, though friends tell KVUE the student was a father to a young son. They say he had been having problems at home. Friends also tell KVUE the young man had posted a picture of himself holding a gun to his head on social media threatening to kill himself. Friends told KVUE they did not believe he would actually go through with it.
The incident placed the campus on lockdown for about an hour Tuesday afternoon. The lockdown was lifted around 1 p.m., and the school released students early.
Message from the Principal, Kathy Ryan:
Principal Kathy Ryan sent this message to families and staff on October 15th, 2013 expressing her deepest sympathy to the community.
Dear Parents and Staff,
This is Kathy Ryan, principal of Lanier High School. I know you have already received a phone call from the AISD superintendent regarding today's tragedy at our school.
I, too, want to express my deepest sympathies to the entire Lanier family. I want to let you know that we will have school tomorrow and we will provide counseling services for Lanier students, families and staff throughout the week and beyond as needed.
For counseling over the phone, we encourage students, families and staff members to call the Austin Travis County's mobile crisis outreach team at 512-472-HELP (4357).
You will receive more information tomorrow via a letter from me. You can also go to our website for additional information.
Events on the campus for this evening have been postponed. Events scheduled for the rest of the week will resume tomorrow. However, the PSAT, which was planned for tomorrow, has been rescheduled to October 30.
In the next few days, I will set up a parent meeting to answer questions and address any concerns you may have.
School will begin at normal time Wednesday. AISD will provide counseling services for students, parents and faculty until 6 p.m. Tuesday as well as throughout the rest of the week. People needing help are also encouraged to call Austin Travis County Integral Care's crisis hotline at 512-472-4357.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is also an available resource. That can be reached at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Adding my praises to all those already posted.
That Kelli was able to interview Janet Lynn; and share her thoughts was a special "plus"!
Geena - I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Thanks.
DH - and that's just my opinion
Sounds like a great read, will order it!
Thanks for the kind words everyone... again... and thanks again to Manleywoman for posting her review! Still trying to get the word out about the book, so every bit of help is appreciated dearly.
About Jim McKay-- sadly, no. I think I'd just entered the earliest phases of working on the proposal for this book when he passed-- my first interview was actually with ABC's Doug Wilson just after he'd retired in '08 (one of several interviews I did with him, a great, great man!)
BUT there is a very interesting Appendix about McKay at the back of the book... I think it's interesting, anyway :-)
Manleywoman also did a podcast w/me that I imagine will come out soon (?)
Thanks again, and please keep spreading the word... new (hopefully positive) reviews at Amazon & BN.com are most welcome, and "Skating on Air"'s Facebook page is always looking for new "friends"!
Geena (Kelli Lawrence)
Author, "Skating on Air"
Hopefully all will be worked out asap! And I can go back to just podcasting.
manleywoman, I wondered why we had "seen" less of you, lately!
Good luck with the transfer.
Oh, one more thing! As of this summer, Skating on Air can be found on sale at the World Figure Skating Museum at USFS headquarters in Colorado Springs. So if you happen to be out there... no shipping $$ and no wait for your own copy :-)
Have the book on my Kindle for an upcoming vacation, can't wait to kick back and enjoy it!

August 1, 2014
Fall is officially off and running and mother nature is giving us a taste of the good stuff. Don't get too spoiled by it… our weather pattern is about to crank it up a bit. That means the threat for showers and thunderstorms returns sooner rather than later.
Tuesday will find a disturbance diving into the region from the northwest. This will tap some moisture from the deep south and throw some showers into town by the end of the day. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s.
Showers and thunderstorms will increase for Wednesday. Some locally heavy rain will be possible as temps stay a little below normal.
The weekend looks to start warm and end wet as another cold front sweeps in.

Personal Loans for Bad Credit People "Spending to Save" at Sales
For people with bad credit, loans are proving popular as the post-Xmas sales are in full swing. PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net announced that it has increased its bandwidth to include more online lenders to accommodate consumer demand.
BAKERSFIELD, California, January 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net, the fast and convenient site for comparing personal lenders and applying through one online application, announces that it is now fully equipped to handle more searches than ever, due to an increase in its site's bandwidth.
The service anticipates more inquiries over the coming days as sales fever spreads across the U.S. Traditionally, the post-Xmas and New Year sales period is a one of the busiest in the retail calendar, calling for extra cash to "spend to save," due to the popular perception that greater discounts can be gained through shopping the sales.
Research from the NPD Group Inc. tallies December 26th 2011 sales at $7.1 billion, representing a 25.5% increase from the same day in 2010. It is estimated that a high proportion of those monies spent are directly from loans, as consumers borrow in order to not "miss out." Loans are notoriously scarce to come by at this time of year, particularly for people with bad credit. PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net hopes to offer a fast, easy process to help match consumers to the best local and national lenders.
PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net made the announcement in the following statement.
"PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net is excited to announce an upgrade to our website's bandwidth. This enables us to help even more individuals by fielding their 2-minute online application to hundreds of lenders at the click of a mouse. Due to the presently high demand for information on companies offering reputable bad credit loans, we have included a wider selection in our matching service for this special seasonal sales period."
"While there are oftentimes some unbeatable deals to be had during the post-Xmas and New Year shopping spree, we would like to remind consumers to keep their cool, remain selective and choose loans for bad credit at their leisure and with no pressure. Our comparison process is fast and user-friendly. Those approved for a loan can look forward to receiving funds the next day. Some lenders can even give loans within 1 hour, so there will be plenty of time for bargain hunting."
PersonalLoansForBadCredit.net is a McAfee Secure™ certified independent matching service. To apply via the safe and confidential site, visit: http://www.personalloansforbadcredit.net/

GARNER — With the low bid for building Garner's new police station $220,000 over budget, the town engineer walked council through savings as well as a cost re-allocation Monday. The alterations would bring the project back to its target.
Calvin Davenport, Inc., won a bidding process with a bid of $3,778,000 to turn a former medical office building into a new town police station. The project's budget of $4.5 million includes just $3,558,500 for construction.
Staff worked with the contractor late the previous week to find savings in order to preserve a $170,000 contingency, meant to protect against unforeseen overruns encountered during the project.
"The architect did a really good job of bringing back options," town engineer Tony Chalk said,. "Definitely, we will find a way to (get this project done at budget)."
Most of about $185,000 in savings found would have minimal impact on police operations. For example, a slight shift in quality from an epoxy flooring to a vinyl composite tile would save $8,000, and was among the final cuts.
"It's a good product. It might not last quite as long," Chalk said of the tile.
Another $35,0000 was "saved" by moving money to build six parking spots near the library off the books of this project, instead funding it through unassigned capital reserves. The spaces, Town Manager Hardin Watkins pointed out, had nothing directly to do with the police station next door to the library; it just happened to be a county request as the town reconfigured the library parking lot as part of the police station project.
"Our other land acquisition costs came from the same pot of money," Watkins said.
That shift of cost allocation resulted in a substantial discussion during Monday's council meeting, with councilman Buck Kennedy hammering at the issue to flesh out exactly how that money was being "saved." Ultimately initial confusion was resolved and the council accepted the plan.
"It's not something we wanted to do but that's what you have reserves for. It's such a small part of the overall project costs," Kennedy said. "They had a hard row to hoe before they got here (in finding savings to balance the overages)."
Switching from a natural gas to a diesel fuel backup power generator represented the biggest single item in the savings, netting the town $45,000. Soft costs including reductions spent on exercise equipment ($20,000), moving expenses ($10,000) and furniture services ($22,500) saved another $77,000.
Calvin Davenport offered $40,000 in savings through a revised demolition price and alterations to its subcontracting and supplier plans.
The parking spots required at the library will necessitate a larger bio-retention pond at the future Town Hall facility next to the library.

The World AIDS Museum is in search of a permanent home and it's hoping to set up shop in the Fort Lauderdale area. Organizers have their eye specifically on Wilton Manors, a neighborhood with an active LGBT community.
It used to be that Key West, Victoria Park and South Beach were the centers of gay life in South Florida. Over the last decade, this tiny town of about 12,000 people, just outside of Fort Lauderdale – has taken over. Wilton Manors has more same-sex couples per capita than anyplace but Provincetown, Massachusetts. The latest census numbers got screwed up, but by some estimates, 40% of the population is gay.

HOUSTON—A Harris County judge has found Mona Nelson guilty in the capital murder of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster.
Nelson will now serve life in prison without parole. She was accused in the kidnapping and murder of Jonathan on Christmas Eve in 2010.
Surveillance video showed Nelson dumping something out of her truck the night of the murder. She originally lied to detectives, then admitted in a third questioning that she did dump the body, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors admitted they would not be able to establish a motive for the murder, but they claimed Nelson murdered the boy in a drunken rage and then burned and dumped his body.
However, Nelson said she was asked by the boy's stepfather to get rid of a container, but didn't know a body was inside.
During the trial, Jonathan's next-door neighbor and grandmother both talked about how they thought the stepdad might have been involved in the boy's disappearance and murder. They said he had been abusive. The grandmother said she didn't like him from the start and that she originally thought David Davis had taken Jonathan.
But the police investigation did not lead to Davis. Surveillance video shows him at a bar nearby at the time of the boy's disappearance.
"I am extremely convinced, I am 100-percent convinced that there was no other person that was involved in this case....everything leads to Mona Nelson, absolutely," Prosecutor Connie Spence said.
Prior to her arrest and trial, Nelson was a maintenance worker and welder in Houston.
District Judge Jeannine Barr returned with a decision in the case on Tuesday morning.
In court Nelson reacted calmly to Barr's decision. When asked if she had anything to say Nelson said, "I'm innocent, and an innocent person is going to prison."
Nelson's attorney Allen Tanner said he has already begun the process of filing an appeal on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to convict.
"We believe someone else kidnapped this child and someone else killed this child. I do not believe Mona Nelson committed this offense," he said.
City of Houston Victim's Advocate Andy Kahan said the verdict is justice for Jonathan's family.
"It doesn't get any worse than this. She's about as cold blooded diabolical killer as I've ever experienced being involved in the criminal justice system. And she's where she belongs right now," he said.
But they are still left with the question: Why did she kill the boy and burn and dump his body?"
"I hope that one day, maybe ten years down the line, she writes me a letter and says I wanna talk to you and I wanna tell you what happened," Spence said.

August 2, 2014
SHENANDOAH COUNTY, Va – Some neighbors are supporting a petition to oust all the members of the board of supervisors from their current positions of leadership in the county.
The creators of a Facebook group and a separate web site say they want to get rid of the current board of supervisors members. They petition the conduct of the board over the past few years. They also say the board has been incompetent.
Right now, the petition has a few supporters in the county. Dennis Morris, one board of supervisors member, said the petition does not worry him.
"Our board is a very conservative, proactive board, so as a board, we're not worried about what these few individuals are trying to do," said Morris. "We're trying to move forward, work hard for our citizens."
Petition supporters are using social media and a petition web site to get their message heard.

Contractual and Organizational Structure with Reciprocal Agents

We solve for the optimal contract when agents are reciprocal, demonstrating that generous compensation can substitute for performance-based pay. Our results suggest several factors that make firms more likely to use reciprocal incentives. Reciprocity is most powerful when output is a poor signal of effort and when the agent is highly reciprocal and/or productive. Similarly, reciprocal incentives are attractive when firm managers have strong incentive pay and discretion over employee compensation. While reciprocal incentives can be optimal even when identical firms compete, a reciprocity contract is most likely when one firm has a match-specific productivity advantage with the agent.

A teenager was taken to the hospital Wednesday afternoon after a hole he was digging at the beach caved in and lifeguards and firefighters had to rescue him.
Lifeguards got a report of a person trapped in the sand at 54th street at about 3:40 p.m., according to the the Newport Beach Fire Department. The teen had dug a five-foot-deep hole. He was completely buried when the sides caved in.
Lifeguards and firefighters responded, digging the teen out in about 27 minutes. As the teen was being rescued, paramedics provided care. Upon being extricated, the teen was taken to Hoag Hospital for further treatment, the release said, but he appeared to be in good condition.
A crowd that gathered at the site erupted in cheers when the boy was rescued and appeared to be OK.
The release advised against digging deep holes in the unstable sand.

I write about the importance of creativity in modern branding.
Sally Thornton, Founder and Chief Curator for innovative recruiting company, Forshay, knows a thing or two about work. As in, the nature of work. The human-nature of work. She's studied it and built her business around the modern dynamics of, well, work.
I caught up with her recently and recorded our conversation. Her message is potent not only for idea companies like mine, but for any company looking to improve the creativity of their employees (and their well being).
Let's just say there are things companies are doing and cultural conventions we are following that, if looked at differently, might not only yield better work, but happier creative people.
Sally Thornton is the Founder + Chief Curator for a company called Forshay. Forshay is a new talent company that uses an on-demand model, providing 'just enough' structure to support their best work, or through direct-hire opportunities. Sally has extensive experience addressing the unique talent needs of the Bay Area's most remarkable companies, having worked with iconic leaders such as Genentech and Levi Strauss, rapid-growth start ups including ngmoco:) and Sonos, and radically creative companies like Method Home and IDEO. As a thought leader on work and talent, Sally has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, KQED radio, Forbes, NBC11 News, ABC7 News, Entrepreneur.com, ABC's View From the Bay, and BNET.com.
Subscribe to the Ideasicle Podcast on iTunes (4.5 stars out of 5) and never miss an episode. Hear Sir Ken Robinson, Jon Steele, David Lubars, Vivian Rosenthal, and many other idea experts talk about creativity, how they stay sharp, and what we can all do to increase our own creativity.
