What is on the Planet's Climate Wishlist?
The Earth cannot use words to speak for itself, but if it could what would be on its climate wishlist this holiday season?
Environmental activists and climate scientists have done a good job of communicating the risks of climate change. Part of the issue is that it's a delicate balance between scaring people so thoroughly that they don't think there is anything they can do about global warming and encouraging people to make any changes that positively impact the environment, even small ones to start. Perhaps we've also underestimated the importance of personal experience.
The facts on climate change alone are not enough. We've had solid, scientific evidence for many years that global warming is man-made and happening right now. However, many people need to experience the effects for themselves in order for the light bulb to go off in their heads. Hurricane Sandy and other extreme weather events are helping people to connect the dots, but now that process has begun the question then becomes, "What next?"
We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. That is what the climate needs and wants this holiday season. There are two main changes that we can undertake to fulfill the planet's climate wishlist. The first is to lower our carbon footprints. Ask yourself, do I really need to leave my lights on all day at home when I am not there? Can I combine trips in the car to drive less or take public transportation instead? What simple steps can I take to save energy and myself some money as well?
The second change is to offset the rest of your carbon footprint. There are many affordable options to make this holiday season a reality, not just for the planet, but for future generations also. Any positive steps you take are welcome and really do make a difference. Although the planet cannot use words to thank you, reducing what you can and offsetting the rest is a beautiful gift and a wonderful place to start this holiday season.
Coal Industry Mega-Player Plans for Climate Change
In a telling and ironic move, coal industry giant BHP-Billiton, is replacing one of its coal export facilities in Queensland, Australia because of its vulnerability to increasingly frequent hurricanes from global warming. BHP-Billiton is an Australian coal company that produces one-fifth of globally traded coal for steel making and is the largest mining company on Earth. The upgrade represents a major investment in planning for climate change. In fact, the company's coal operations are led by Marcus Randolph, who confirmed they are planning, "to rebuild the facility to be more durable to climate change."
Readers of this blog already know that increasingly extreme weather events are the result of climate change in addition to the fact that many businesses are planning now for climate change's effects. Why not a coal company too? The announcement makes it obvious that BHP-Billiton understands that climate change is real and the time is now to begin making changes even if the manufacture of their product contributes to the issue.
Randolph has even warned investors about the implications of remaining dependent on the non-renewable resources of fossil fuels by saying, "In a carbon constrained world where energy coal is the biggest contributor to a carbon problem, how do you think this is going to evolve over a 30- to 40-year time horizon? You'd have to look at that and say on balance, I suspect, the usage of thermal coal is going to decline. And frankly it should."
When a company that mines and exports coal starts planning for climate change it means the writing is on the wall. Businesses and individuals alike should all be working to decrease carbon footprints and offset the remaining carbon emissions. Let's give the planet a holiday present and start doing all we can this season to embrace a cleaner energy future.
Carbon Tax Talks Experience Renewed Interest Post Superstorm Sandy
The issue of climate change has re-entered the public's conscious in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. In fact, there were accusations of a "climate silence" on the part of the presidential candidates until the megastorm hit the Northeast a week before this month's election. Now both parties are talking about a potential carbon tax.
Last week a carbon tax was once again the topic of discussion at the American Enterprise Institute (a conservative think-tank) and the Brookings Institution (a more liberal think-tank) released a paper on it. The Congressional Budget Office also published a report on potential ways to make a carbon tax less of a burden on lower income people.
A carbon tax works by making those that use fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas pay more. When they are burned, fossil fuels contribute to global warming by producing carbon dioxide, which traps heat. Some experts estimate the price tag of a tax of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions to add 1 or 2 percent to the price of gasoline and electric power. Other pundits view a carbon tax as a tax on economic growth.
Whether or not a carbon tax will have the political backing to make it through a divided Congress is questionable. However, environmental advocates are always interested when climate change is a hot topic. Extreme weather has been linked to climate change. So it's important to warn people that if we continue on this unsustainable path of dumping 90 million tons of pollution into the atmosphere on a daily basis that the future will include more superstorms with increasingly devastating consequences.
Climate Change Takes High Toll on Antarctica Peninsula
The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica is allowing more heat to escape there, and the effects from climate change are dramatic. Over 60 years, mid-winter temperatures along the Antarctic Peninsula have risen 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature rise has impacted annual sea ice's seasonal duration and offshore bulk by approximately 40 percent.
As you read this you may be asking yourself, "Okay so Antarctica is melting, but how does that impact me?" Well, more than 50 percent of the U.S. population lives in coastal areas. Since 1980, eight large ice shelves have broken off the Antarctic Peninsula. As the ice shelves separate from the mainland, they make it easier for glaciers to flow into the sea and melt. As they melt, the seas rise and we have more flooding along coastal areas. All coastal areas, not just on the U.S. coastline, are susceptible to the dangers of flooding. The Wilkins Ice Shelf, which is a floating ice sheet several hundred feet thick the size of the state of Connecticut, is currently hanging on to the Antarctic Peninsula by a thread.
And there's more. Rapid warming is killing off a priceless resource that we're just beginning to discover. Sponges, soft corals, starfish, and sea squirts can only live at constant low polar temperatures. These Antarctic seafloor invertebrates could offer cures to human diseases such as cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, and infectious diseases. Scientists at the National Cancer Institute have already found one such example. These researchers discovered that a small Antarctic sea squirt contains chemicals that kill melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The Antarctic Peninsula is probably not your backyard, but the losses it's sustaining from climate change could affect you personally. Take action now. Perhaps start by lowering your carbon footprint. Global warming is having serious, life-threatening impacts and we have to do our parts now to turn the tide.

Super Storm Sandy's Flooding Similar to Damage Expected from Rising Sea Levels
Climate change is causing sea levels to rise, and this week's super storm Sandy gave us a preview of the devastation that this kind of flooding can cause. In fact, five years ago, a study named, "Nation Under Siege" constructed a series of 3-D maps using federal science agency and the United Nations' climate panel data that demonstrated what areas of the Atlantic coastline will look like as sea levels continue to rise. The maps from 2007 are eerily similar to the destruction we saw from super storm Sandy. The main difference being that the flooding from Sandy is beginning to recede and the rising waters from global warming are permanent.
There's no denying that sea levels are rising. Since 1900, the world's oceans rose an average of seven inches, according to data from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Those of us that live on the East Coast are seeing higher than average sea level rise. According to a report by the New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force, sea levels along New York's coast range between 9 and 11 inches over the last 100 years.
Super storm Sandy painfully demonstrated that coastal cities are woefully unprepared for flooding and other dangers from extreme weather, which is increasing due to climate change. According to Katharine Hayhoe, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas Tech University, there are three reasons why climate change made Sandy that much worse. The first is already higher sea levels made the storm surge more severe. The second is higher sea surface temperatures from global warming provided more energy for the super storm. The third is Sandy may turned towards the coast because of a record loss of sea ice in the Arctic this year.
Preparing at-risk communities for coming floods and coastal erosion includes determining the best way to heighten sea walls or whether to construct surge barriers to protect flood-prone areas. These preparations require study and then construction costs in the billions. However, the latest estimates from IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm, calculate that super storm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business. It sounds like the time is now to make those investments before further extreme weather from global warming costs more in the long run. We can couple those investments with our own efforts to lower our carbon footprints, which contributes to slowing down climate change.
US to Cut Carbon Emissions Despite Cap-and-Trade Failure
It was a sad day in 2010 when Congress failed to pass cap-and-trade legislation. However, a study by Dallas Burtraw, a senior fellow at Resources for the Future, released this month says that the failure had the unexpected consequence of helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions. There are two reasons why U.S. carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be lower by 2020: regulatory measures and market changes.
This is not to say that there is no need for cap-and-trade or a carbon tax. On the contrary, they are still necessary to achieve long-term cuts in emissions and to help establish worldwide support on the issue of climate change. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) was an energy bill that would cap the amount of carbon dioxide power plants and manufacturers could emit, and set up a system to trade for carbon offsets.
When ACES failed in the Senate after receiving approval in the House of Representatives, a series of piecemeal measures were put into place. This hodgepodge of regulatory measures put the U.S. on track to meet a pledge set by President Obama of cutting climate change emissions by 17 percent by the end of this decade. The first of which this blog already covered is Groundbreaking Fuel Economy Standards. President Obama pushed for higher vehicle fuel efficiency standards with automakers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) when ACES died in the Senate. Also, the president is pressing for higher emission standards on coal-fired power plants.
Further regulatory measures in the wake of national cap-and-trade's demise include California and some Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states establishing their own cap-and-trade programs, and 29 states setting clean-energy requirements for utilities.
Market changes putting the U.S. on the path to lower carbon emissions by 2020 have been covered by this blog also. Low natural gas prices have been shifting the market away from dirtier coal as power plants' fuel of choice.
If ACES, also called the Waxman-Markey Bill, had passed the law would have barred the EPA from issuing carbon standards for power plants, refineries or factories. Furthermore, it may have very well headed off establishing the higher vehicle fuel efficiency standards. Lastly, under a national cap-and-trade program, any regional or state efforts would be offset by increased emissions elsewhere.
So the planet still needs further, faster and more wide ranging cuts in fossil-fuel use, but the U.S. is on the right path to curbing carbon emissions with the help of some regulatory measures and market changes.
Prioritizing Energy Efficiency
Some businesses express reluctance when it comes to embracing the path to a cleaner energy future. They see nothing but dollar signs. However, a recent case study by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Climate Corps demonstrates that it is possible to get into a "virtuous cycle" of energy efficiency that pays dividends for both the company's bottom line and the environment.
EDF Climate Corps is a great program that matches either specially-trained MBA (Masters in Business Administration) or MPA (Masters in Public Administration) students as summer fellows with companies, cities and universities interested in achieving energy efficiency to cut costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2008, the program's fellows have built business cases for smart energy investments. The end results are lighting, computer equipment and heating and cooling system efficiencies that can cut 1.6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity use and 27 million therms of natural gas annually, equivalent to the annual energy use of 100,000 homes; avoid over 1 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to the annual emissions of 200,000 passenger vehicles; and save $1 billion in net operational costs over the project lifetimes.
The Virtuous Cycle of Organizational Energy Efficiency has five components: executive engagement; resource investment; people and tools; identification, implementation and measurement; and results and stories. According to EDF, the virtuous cycle is a model of change for energy efficiency across even extremely different organizations.
The business profiled in the case study is Diversey, which is a subsidy of Sealed Air. Diversey entered the virtuous cycle of energy efficiency by establishing a public commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from operations to eight percent below 2003 levels by 2013. This was also the initial component of the virtuous cycle, executive engagement.
Once Diversey's leaders committed, policies from the top down required that energy efficiency projects produce a positive return on investment in a payback period of three years or less. This criterion allowed Diversey to invest $19 million, and yield $32 million in cash savings over the life of the program in order to reach their emissions reduction goals.
Because the goals and criteria were clearly articulated, Diversey's ability to measure success was also positively impacted. In fact, Diversey's environmental health and safety department received a 40 percent year-on-year budget increase, which is significant because all other divisions of the company at the time were undergoing a 50 percent budget cut. This was due to the capacity to produce data that demonstrated energy project performance. According to the report, plant managers were also engaged and incentivized to implement efficiency measures due to centralized capital budgeting.
This is all to say that there are easy and affordable ways for businesses to invest in a commitment to combat climate change that is both good for the company and the environment. Saving money is always in style; simply combine that goal with one of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and you'll be maximizing the good you can do.
News Corporation Overwhelmingly Misleading on Climate Change
Five years ago the CEO of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, claimed that news coverage of climate change in his media outlets would improve gradually. However, a recent study indicates that not only has that not happened, but that the preponderance of climate change information on Fox News primetime and in the Wall Street Journal's opinion page is overwhelmingly misleading.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), a science-policy nonprofit, analyzed six months of global warming discussions on Fox News primetime programs (February 2012 to July 2012) and one year of Wall Street Journal op-eds (August 2011 to July 2012). UCS found that climate science was inaccurately covered in 93 percent of Fox News primetime programs and 81 percent of Wall Street Journal editorials.
The analysis found denial that climate change is caused by humans, dismissals of climate science as a legitimate science, and derogatory comments about select scientists. The worst part is that this misleading coverage encourages scientific distrust and portrays climate change as a left-wing idea, rather than based on scientific facts.
How many people are misled about climate science by these media outlets? Well the number is in the multi-millions. In 2011, Fox News Channel (FNC) was the United States' most popular cable news channel. During prime time, FNC reaches a median of 1.9 million people plus. The Wall Street Journal has over 2 million daily readers and the largest circulation among American newspapers.
There is nothing wrong with fully examining and debating the merits of policies aimed at addressing climate change. However, it is ludicrous and irresponsible to deny the overwhelming body of scientific evidence that climate change is man-made and happening right now.
The analysis shows that sadly these media groups continue to waste time and effort that could be put to better use in combating climate change. Readers of this blog already know that global warming is man-made and many are putting their energies toward what they can do about it by supporting organizations such as Carbonfund.org. These climate change leaders seek out quick and affordable ways for individuals and businesses to calculate and offset the carbon emissions they generate.
The science is clear. Invest in renewable energy sources and support reforestation projects because the time is now to build a clean energy future.
US Green Energy on the Rise
According to data recently uncovered from the Energy Information Agency, electricity coming from non-hydroelectric renewable sources (solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass) has doubled in the U.S. to almost 6 percent in a scant four years' time.
It's a bit surprising that this significant fact hasn't been splashed all over the news. Businesses are portrayed as not believing clean energy is worth the investment, but that is simply not true for all. Some companies see the wisdom and fiscal prudence in planning for climate change. The press appears to focus more on manufacturing problems in the sector.
While it is true that the green manufacturing industry is experiencing some growing pains, take solar panel makers for example, it's worth noting that the green industry is growing overall, and quickly too. China made enormous investments in solar, and they are the face of rising competition. They've brought down the price of panels by 65 percent in a mere 18 months. So this leads to fewer and bigger solar manufacturers, which is what happens in all mature industries. However, the explosion of growth in the solar industry comes from the businesses that sell, install, and maintain solar.
Perhaps renewable energy seems like small potatoes since it's only a fraction of total electricity generation. But the magic is in the industry's potential for exponential growth. If non-hydro renewables were to double three more times, they would provide nearly half of US electricity needs. That's more than we get from coal or natural gas right now.
The renewable energy industry's growth is not just limited to the U.S. either. Countries such as Portugal and Germany have transformed their power grids to generate 25 – 45 percent of their electricity needs from renewable sources.
The big question is if non-hydroelectric renewables can continue to double every four years? Well let's start by taking a look at what kind of growth would be required to do so. Non-hydro renewables need 19 percent annual growth in order to double every four years. Some sectors grow that much or more. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the solar sector is growing 30 percent annually.
The bottom line is that the payback time for investing in renewable energy is getting faster every day. Wise homeowners, businesses, and governments are ahead of the curve because they see that the future is in renewable sources.

- No dogs allowed on or near any fields.
- No bicycles allowed on any fields.
- Profanity is not accepted.
Code of Conduct for All Parents
As a parent, you play a special role in contributing to the needs and development of youngsters. Through your encouragement and good example, you can help assure that all the boys and girls learn good sportsmanship and self-discipline. Young people learn to work together, to sacrifice for the good of the team, to enjoy winning and deal appropriately with defeat - all while becoming physically fit and healthy. Best of all, they have fun.
Supporting your child by giving encouragement and showing interest in their team is very important. Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory - that way your child will always be a winner despite the outcome of the game!
Parents serve as role models for their children. Become aware of this and work to be a positive role model. Applaud good plays by your child's team as well as good plays by the opposing team. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sports activities.
Remember that your child is the one playing soccer, not you. It's very important to let children establish their own goals - to play the game for themselves. Take care not to impose your own standards and goals on them. Don't put too heavy a burden on your child to win games. Surveys reveal that 72% of children would rather play for a losing team than ride the bench for a winning team. Children play for the fun of playing.
Positive reinforcement is the best way to help your child achieve their goals and their natural fear of failure. Nobody likes to make mistakes. If your child does make one, remember it's all part of learning, so encourage your child's efforts and point out the good things your child accomplished.
Coaches and referees are usually parents just like you. They volunteer their time to help make your child's youth soccer experience a positive one. They need your support too. That means refraining from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines. As a volunteer organization, there's usually always an opportunity for you to take your interest in coaching or refereeing to the next level and become one yourself!
A referee's rulings are the final word, and may not be reversed after the game. Arguing a referee's decision will not be tolerated. Nevertheless, at half time and after a game, a polite, non-aggressive approach to a referee to discuss an incident will generally be allowed.
Laws of the Game
Goodness, it is impossible to cover this briefly. This page is meant to serve as a resource and guide. It is our hope that coaches and referees could be on the same page and same level of understanding on the pitch. This is near to impossible. It is also our hope that parents could have a high level of understanding of the laws as well. Same scenario. Nevertheless, this is a good place to come to get a handle on part of the laws and the spirit of the laws.
Divisional Rules
U5 & U6 play 3 on 3 – with no goal keeper - 30 minutes of drills and 30 minute game with a size 3 ball
U7 & U8 play 5 on 5 – with no goal keeper - 40 minute game with a size 3 ball
U10 plays 7 on 7 (one of which is the goal keeper) - 50 minute game with a size 4 ball
U12 & U13 play 9 on 9 (one of which is the goal keeper) – 60 minute game with a size 4 ball.
U14 and up plays 11 on 11 (one of which is the goal keeper) – 90 minute game with a size 5 ball

Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library
President's Annual Letter
Maelou Baxter
The Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library was organized in 1982 to promote the resources, services, and needs of the library. Below is our mission statement. Although the library has changed in many ways, as it should, our mission remains the same.
OUR MISSION: The Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library cultivate a love of learning and celebrate the joy of reading by supporting library services for the community.
Accompanying our mission statement is a list of the purposes of the Friends organization. The paragraphs below each stated purpose provide examples of how the Friends are carrying out these purposes.
The purposes of this corporation shall be:
1. To stimulate the use of the library's resources and services.
In 1982, the library, comprised almost completely of books, was housed in the old Carnegie Library down the street. Now we're in a beautiful, state-of-the-art building and it's no longer just a place to check out books and leave: it's a center of activity for the community. We have author talks and murder mysteries and summer reading programs for all ages and genealogy classes and book discussion groups and computer classes. The library is alive in a new and wonderful way.
2. To focus public attention on the library.
One of our focus areas is Communication and Advocacy. Friends who work in this area lead efforts to advocate for the library and share information with the community.
3. To maintain an association of persons interested in libraries.
That's all of us, folks. The Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library has been a thriving organization for 33 years. Our membership and involvement grow each year under the leadership of the Membership and Volunteer Coordination Committee of the Friends board.
4. To help fund materials and programs for the library.
YOU make much of the programming, of the multiplicity of activities at the library, possible. Our friends' organization, through funds from the Book Nook, memberships and gifts, allows the library to provide programming that would not be available otherwise. So thank you for YOUR gift of being a member of the Friends of the Cedar Falls Library.
5. To provide volunteer services to support the mission of the library.
Our major volunteer effort is the Book Nook, a very successful, much-appreciated venture. Other volunteers serve on the board of the Friends of the Library and/or provide food and support for special occasions such as the staff appreciation events and the annual meeting. Our Social and Special Events Committee coordinates these special occasions.
6. To promote literacy. The library's two adult book discussion groups were started by the Friends organization. To serve the younger generation, each year, we purchase a copy of the Cedar Valley Youth Reads book for every fifth-grader in Cedar Falls. For the past few years, we have also allocated funds for books for students in each Cedar Falls elementary school.
One of my great pleasures as a member of the Board of the Friends has been working with our director, Sheryl McGovern and her staff. Sheryl is tireless (although I think she would dispute that), creative, effective, and terrific to work with! I want to thank her and her staff for their wonderful work and for the friendship they offer. Sheryl will be retiring at the end of 2015. We will miss her immeasurably, but we wish her well, with plenty of time to read and to enjoy her grandchildren and we hope she will continue to be our FRIEND.
As you probably realize, your membership in the Friends organization is whatever you want it to be. Some of you have participated actively by providing food or working in the Book Nook or at the Sturgis Falls book sale or by serving on the board. There's no requirement for level of involvement; it's a guilt-free membership. However, I will ask one thing of all of you in this coming year. Talk about the library to friends as well as to perfect strangers. Let them know what's going on here, and encourage them to become members.
It's the FRIENDLY thing to do.
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher, 1813-1887

The cause of migraine with aura isn't clearly understood. It's believed that the visual aura that may accompany migraine is like an electrical or chemical wave that moves across the part of your brain that processes visual signals (visual cortex). As the wave spreads, it may cause these visual hallucinations.
Many of the same factors that trigger migraine can also trigger migraine with aura, including stress, bright lights, too much or too little sleep, and menstruation.

Almost 17 years after the murder of JonBenét Ramsey, the 6-year-old Boulder beauty queen's killer remains at large. Several people, including family members, have been viewed with suspicion by investigators, the Ramseys and the public at large. Among them:
Photos not available:
Bill McReynolds: McReynolds, a neighbor and former CU journalism professor who played Santa Claus during the holidays, including visits to the Ramsey home, was named a suspect by the Ramseys in the family's book "Death of Innocence: The Untold Story of JonBenet's Murder and How its Exploitation Compromised the Pursuit of Truth."
Investigators collected hair and writing samples from McReynolds, and his wife, but authorities didn't consider the couple "serious" suspects, according to sources at the time.
McReynolds died in Massachusetts in September 2002 at the age of 72.
Robert "Chris" Wolf: Wolf, a Boulder journalist, filed a $50 million libel suit against the Ramseys claiming they libeled him in their book "The Death of Innocence" and in TV interviews by claiming he was a suspect.Following the death of JonBenét, Wolf's girlfriend called police to say he was acting suspiciously and was not home during the time of the killing. Boulder police investigated Wolf and said they found no evidence to link him to the crime, according to a press report.
In March 2003, U.S. District Court Judge Julie Carnes of Atlanta dismissed Wolf's libel suit against the Ramseys, in which his lawyer tried to prove Patsy Ramsey was responsible for JonBenet's death. Carnes said the child's murder is "more consistent with a theory that an intruder murdered JonBenet than it was with a theory that Mrs. Ramsey did."

Problems with photoshop elements
Let me introduce myself. My name is Crystal and I am fairly new at using photoshop elements. I have taken a class at the scrapbooking expo so I do know how to set up my workspace. I created one layout and now my photoshop won't work. I will explain what it is doing. If anyone has any idea what to do to fix it please let me know.
I open photoshop elements and choose that I want to open a blank file. I choose that I want it to be 12x12 and 300 dpi. Then, I open my papers, embillishments and pictures and place them in my photo bin. I am ready to go. When I select on a piece of paper to drag it to my work space it puts a black box around my workspace. As soon as I let go from dragging the paper it makes the paper appear and everything else disappears. You can't layer anything. I had my friend look at it and she came to the conclusion that it has everything to do with that black box. We don't know what is causing it. Any ideas?
Thank you,

Comments On Oct 23, 2007:Good boots, still holding up in the soles etc. Only one draw back, one of the clasps where the buckle latches on to the boot came un-sewn. I have not had a chance to send them back, but plan on it very soon. I have been deployed for a while, and not had a chance. Really folks this goes along with the pants. If you have a kid that out grows clothing and shoes fast, I can not give a product a higher recommendation. If your a family on a budget, and can not afford to pay the insane prices for the gear that other companies want, this is the way to go. Rock on Rocky Mountain, way to go in making the sport affordable to the normal joe!!!!

The first ever 3D web fest event is happening Maya 13th in San Francisco.
When a star brightness changes suddenly the scattered light from the surrounding cloud does not reach us all at the same time. It is delayed based on the total distance traveled and the speed of light. The result is called a light echo. To better understand how a light echo works I created a simulation of one.
One can create spiraling motions for particles using expressions. This method propagates a local up vector for the curl so that the twist direction does not go through pole flipping as the particle changes direction.
Here is the vein brush from my unfold presentation, along with help on creating brush presets.
As promised here are the scene files from my Unfold presentation along with some brief descriptions.
I've modified the roman candle scene in my previous post to use lights positioned at particle locations for illumination, along with further refinements.
Here is a simple example that uses Maya nParticles and Fluids to simulate a roman candle.
One can use nParticles to create a jiggling Jello substance that can be sliced using an nConstraint with breakable bonds. The workflow is relatively quick and easy.
This scene file shows an easy set up for a relatively fast to simulate boiling water effect using Maya Fluids.
The trail of a torpedo is tricky to do because it combines fluid dynamics, surface and volume rendering as well as fog and light scattering.

May 6, 2016
A General Assembly committee has recommended legislation to repeal proposed new and higher tolls on North Carolina ferry routes that have been at the center of a dispute between Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue and Republican legislative leaders.
No one on the Legislature's transportation oversight committee Monday voted against the proposed bill, which is eligible for consideration when the budget adjusting session begins next month. Several Senate Republicans did not vote, meaning the repeal won't necessarily happen.
The Legislature says the budget law required more tolls to generate $5 million in revenues. Perdue directed a yearlong moratorium on the additional tolls before they were to take effect April 1. Republicans said she could not do that, and the Attorney General's Office appears to agree with the GOP.

Duplikate (Hardcover)
To Do List:
- Ace SATs
- Ace finals
- Ace AP physics project
- Avoid murdering lab partner
- Submit Yale application
- Resolve possibly evil twin situation
Due date: December 15th
Countdown: 11 days
By the time Kate Larson accidentally fell asleep at three a.m., she'd already done more work in one night than the average high school senior does in a week. Getting into Yale has been her dream for years—and being generally overworked and totally under-rested is the price of admission. But when she opens her eyes the next day, she comes face-to-face with, well, her face—which is attached to her body, which is standing across the room. Wait, what?
Meet Kate's computer-generated twin. Kate doesn't know why she's here or how to put her back where she belongs, but she's real. And she's the last thing Kate has time to deal with right now. Unless . . .
Could having a double be the answer to Kate's prayers? After all, two Kates can do more work than one. Or will keeping her twin a secret turn her dream future into a living nightmare?

Arizona issues an "extended" driver license that does not expire until age 65. However, your photo and vision screening will need to be updated every 12 years. Drivers 60 years old and older will receive a five-year license.
Temporary residents, such as out-of-state students and their spouses, or military personnel and their immediate family members, may apply for a five-year license regardless of age.
The information of foreign applicants will be processed in accordance with Arizona authorized presence requirements.
Be Prepared and plan ahead. Follow the simple steps to complete your application in advance, and submit it to MVD. This will speed up the process once you're in the office. Make sure you bring all required identification documents.
If a road test is required, check our interactive map for estimated wait times and to verify that daily road test capacity hasn't been reached. Also, consider an Authorized Third Party Driver License provider where wait times are frequently shorter (a convenience fee may be collected in addition to the appropriate state fees.)
Are you ready for your road test?
If you go to an MVD office and the road test slots for the day are filled, you can make an appointment to return at a future date. Appointments can also be made to schedule a re-test for a second or third attempt to pass the test.
Note: A parent or legal guardian will be required to accompany a teen driver who is applying for and earning a Graduated Driver License.

The Vapid Benson is a sports car which first appeared in Grand Theft Auto 2, and also a cube van/truck in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and later games.
In all, the Benson has appeared in the following games:
- Grand Theft Auto 2
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto 2, the Benson is a sports car. It is suggestively based on the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, evidenced by the Benson's similar body design, as well as its gull-wing doors and its name being similar to the Mercedes-Benz car brand. The only difference is the 300SL does not feature split frontal and rear windscreens, as the Benson has.
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Benson name was applied to a very different type of vehicle: a van. This version of the Benson resembles a 1978 or 1979 Ford (E-Series) cube van with a "luton" cargo compartment. In San Andreas, it is available in several different designs, and appears in red and blue body in Vice City Stories.
The Benson in GTA San Andreas has the wrong engine sound, as it makes a heavy truck sound but should make the light/medium truck sound, which the Yankee incorrectly has. In the PC version, this can be fixed by swapping the ID numbers of the Yankee and Benson in the vehicles.ide file. Unlike missing wheel in DFT-30 and Beagle in Fort Carson, it can't downloaded in Xbox version.
GTA IVManufactured by Vapid in Grand Theft Auto IV, the Benson is much larger (the heaviest car in the game, according to the game files). The GTA IV version also has less tendency to roll over. It has a bottler truck body-style, though certain versions (such as the mail truck) don't emphasize its function. The cab resembles an 1989-2001 International 4000 Series; the design, however, is much different than the Brute Securicar, which is based on the same truck series. The Benson's engine is an intercooled V8. Unlike previous versions, the GTA IV Benson has a massive grille guard. Company logos appearing on the Benson include those of Burger Shot, Cluckin' Bell, Sprunk, Mr. Wong's Laundrette, Post Op, and Truck You!. In GTA IV same as Mule, Benson does not power with air-brake but instead, it powers with disc/disk-brake and/or drum brake which is rather odd for a heavy vehicle.
The Benson in GTA 2 is noted for its substantial top speed, but at the same time it suffers from delayed acceleration due to slow gear-shifting as the car speeds up. And while the car features good braking, the Benson suffers from occasional tailspins when cornering at high speeds.
When crushed, the vehicle awards the player ElectroFingers.
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Being the smallest cube van between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Benson has a decent top speed and quick acceleration, and has room for 2 people including the driver and is the in the GTA III era games. However, it is prone to flipping over easily on rough terrain and when turning around corners at high speeds. It has no special features. The Benson is quite vulnerable to bullet damage in GTA San Andreas although it can withstand a lot of damage before catching fire.
Players can even do doughnuts in it by steering it in the slightest possible angle (almost straight) and, naturally, putting the virtual foot to the floor. This can be done on the PC by using an analog controller (such as a PS2 controller through a USB converter), but not with the keyboard due to a cap on the number of simultaneous key strokes that can be accepted.
Being an enlarged truck in GTA IV, the Benson obviously suffers from poor steering, as well as a slow acceleration, but far from the worst in the game. However, the truck can achieve fairly moderate top speeds at 126 mph, but it will take ages to get there due to the poor acceleration. In addition, its weight does not help when the player needs to stop the vehicle while it is going high speeds. Also it's ability to soak up bullets is an advantage for when the player is attempting to escape gang members or police. Being extremely heavy, the Benson can shove traffic out of its way and keep going with ease.
GTA VAs not much has emerged yet, we have seen the Benson in Trailer 2 and in Franklin's Trailer. The design has remained un-changed from GTA IV.
- The Benson plays the following radio stations when entered:
- GTA Vice City + GTA Vice City Stories: V-Rock.
- GTA San Andreas: K-Rose.
- GTA IV: The Beat 102.7 or The Classics 104.1.
- GTA V: Radio Mirror Park.
- A vehicle resembling the Benson can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt.
- If the player drives a Benson, Securicars may eventually appear. This occurs most likely in Bohan.
- In GTA IV, there is a glitch where you can walk through the front wheels of the Benson.
- In GTA Vice City, if the player finds a way to get up and stand on the hood of a Benson that is being driven by an NPC, and the Benson moves forward, Tommy will fall down into the cab. When he gets up, he will be stuck halfway inside the cab, with his head portruding from the roof. He will not be able to get out unless the Benson crashes, where he will pop out and appear standing on its roof.
- In GTA IV, like the Bus and Yankee, as well as the APC (TBOGT), it will fall into blue hell and spin for a while before landing back on the street when the Swingset Glitch is executed in a Benson.
- The change of the Benson from a sports car to a truck is similar to that of the Perennial, which was a '60s station wagon in older games and a futuristic minivan in GTA IV.
- Spawns only in the Residential District of Anywhere City.
GTA Vice City
- Parked next to the Pay 'n' Spray in Viceport.
- Commonly spawns in Viceport and Escobar International.
GTA San Andreas
- Commonly spawns in the industrial areas of Los Santos.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Parked next to the Pay 'n' Spray in Viceport.
- Three during Waking Up the Neighbors.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Found in the Acter Industrial Park and Tudor areas in Alderney.
- Sometimes seen in BOABO, Broker.
- Can be spotted in the Industrial area in Bohan.
- A Benson is seen blocking the road at the end of the chase between Ivan and Niko in the mission Ivan The Not So Terrible. The player is able to take it if he can get to it before the driver leaves.
- Used during the mission The Jewel Store Job (smart), which involves Michael ramming it into Vapid Interceptors.

Count Dracula may be more synonymous with the holiday than any other monster or ghoul.

22 U.S. Code § 3970 - Compensation for imprisoned foreign national employees
prev | next
(a) Eligibility; rates of compensation; terms and conditions of payment; applicability of powers under other statutory provisions
The head of any agency or other Government establishment (including any in the legislative or judicial branch) may compensate any current or former foreign national employee, or any foreign national who is or was employed under a personal services contract, who is or has been imprisoned by a foreign government if the Secretary of State (or, in the case of a foreign national employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of Central Intelligence) determines that such imprisonment is the result of the employment of the foreign national by the United States. Such compensation may not exceed the amount that the agency head determines approximates the salary and other benefits to which the foreign national would have been entitled had he or she been employed during the period of such imprisonment. Such compensation may be paid under such terms and conditions as the Secretary of State deems appropriate. For purposes of this section, an agency head shall have the same powers with respect to imprisoned foreign nationals who are or were employed by the agency as an agency head has under subchapter VII of chapter 55 of title 5 to the extent that such powers are consistent with this section.
(b) Time spent imprisoned considered as period of employment
Any period of imprisonment of a current or former foreign national employee which is compensable under this section shall be considered for purposes of any other employee benefit to be a period of employment by the Government, except that a period of imprisonment shall not be creditable—
(1) for purposes of subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, unless it is expressly creditable under that subchapter; or
(c) Time of filing of claims
No compensation or other benefit shall be awarded under this section unless a claim therefor is filed within 3 years after—

Update. Completed 10 but grinded too much. I made it quicker as I traded free wins with some users plus free daily lotto helped. Think I was quite lucky as my final variation was not too high.
10 Polka Dot
14 Striped
10 Zig Zag
16 Diamond
12 Stars
5 Evil Argyle
plus 19 treasure mostly 2star but a few 3star
so took 62 winning games +3daily lotto to get 5 evil eggs
and 81 games +5daily lotto to get 10 of the rest.
May be worth still playing to look for normal treasure and the elusive evil eggs but time for me to spam my losing file more

May 2010
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
President Barack Obama recently noted that the U.S. export control system is rooted in the Cold War era and must be updated to address the threats the nation faces today and in the changing economic and technological landscape.Current rules do not reflect the dramatic changes in the geopolitical and global economic realms that have occurred during the last 15 to 20 years. There are now less clear-cut distinctions between military and commercial technologies and increased availability of high-tech equipment and services from non-U.S. companies. Suppliers need greater speed and efficiency in meeting global market demands. Exports of dual-use items are regulated by the Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Act, and defense/military items are regulated by the Department of State under the Arms Export Control Act. The export control system is contributing to the erosion of the competitive position of U.S. companies in the global marketplace. In the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said, "The U.S. export system itself poses a potential national security risk … [It] impedes cooperation, technology sharing, and interoperability with allies and partners … [and] hinders U.S. industrial competitiveness and cooperation with allies." In recent years, a number of our closest allies have formally advised the U.S. government that its export control policies and procedures are a major impediment to defense cooperation. European contractors have even indicated their preference to exclude U.S. suppliers from competing for work. In their view, this is due to U.S. companies' difficulty in reliably meeting schedule and availability requirements, which are attributable to a cumbersome, slow-moving export control system. Indeed, in recent competitions, a major criterion has been the ability to demonstrate that export-licensing procedures will not impede a U.S. supplier's capacity to perform if chosen. On March 11, President Obama announced the National Export Initiative, which is intended to enhance national security by focusing on the enforcement of strict controls around the export of the most critical technologies and products. It also seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of key manufacturing industries in the United States by streamlining the regulation of exports. The president has tasked the secretary of defense to lay out these reform proposals as soon as possible. At this time, it is not known if legislative action by Congress will be needed to implement any of the proposed changes. Some of the specifics of this new reform policy include reducing the delay of U.S. exports of encryption products, such as cell phone or network storage systems. Currently, makers of products with encryption capabilities need to apply for a Commerce Department technical review of the product before it can be exported. The review can take between 30 to 60 days. There are more than 3,300 such filings each year. This proposed rule is intended to replace the current review-and-wait process with a more efficient one-time notification-and-ship process, which may eliminate up to 85 percent of all the technical reviews of these products. Another proposed reform would be to eliminate obstacles to exporting to companies employing dual nationals. Currently, U.S. exporters and foreign customers of U.S. goods have to comply with two different, conflicting sets of standards. Under this reform effort, the administration will begin to eliminate about 2,000 munitions licenses a year, which should have a dramatic impact on the compliance programs of both U.S. exporters and foreign customers. It will touch on at least half of the more than 85,000 munitions licenses the United States issues each year. Protection of our national security and technological edge in key capabilities must continue to be the principal focus of our export control laws. The war on terrorism has increased concerns about key technologies falling into the wrong hands. We should aim to build higher walls around fewer technologies. The scope and enforcement of export controls should address these legitimate concerns. We must not, however, lose sight of the security and economic benefits of a more targeted and efficient export control system that allows interoperability with our allies. The actions proposed by the National Export Initiative should enhance the ability of companies to comply with government requirements, improve interoperability with our closest allies while protecting national security and strengthening U.S. competitiveness in global markets. It also would help to preserve a cutting-edge industrial base, including a highly skilled work force.Many of the export reform issues announced in the National Export Initiative have been among NDIA's top policy concerns for a number of years. NDIA's International Division is actively engaged in reviewing and commenting on the new proposals and is committed to working with the administration in the successful implementation of the export control reforms. After many years of virtually no activity to modernize the export control procedures, I am encouraged by the president's new initiative.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Vapid Interceptor is a law enforcement car that appears in Grand Theft Auto V.
The car's design is clearly inspired by American styling featured on the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor.
The front end of the car is dominated by the presence of a large push bar. With four lights in the top horizontal beam of the unit. The base of the front bumper is trimmed with a polymer. The lower central area of the bumper features a trapezium-shaped air duct and at either side, level with the top of the duct there are LED strip lights. There is a main grille located in the central area at the top of the front face. Near to the grille there are headlamp units made up of two circular lamps and then an amber turn indicator area on the outside. The headlamps are able to flash alternately.
The sides of the car, feature the black and white colour scheme, with the white area having police markings. The sides of the car are fairly simple with the body only featuring flared wheel arches. The door feature black wing mirrors at the base of the A pillar, with a spotlamp mounted above it. The roof mounted light bar is split into eight sections, with the outer three on each side having red or blue colored lamps. The central two are clear colored. The C pillar of the car is fairly smooth and at the top corners of the rear windscreen there are small colored alternate flashing lights. The roof also features unit numbers. The car uses black wheels with chrome center caps, wrapped in high profile tires. On the inside of the car there is a protective mesh separating the front occupants from the rear.
Near the top of the car's rear face in the central third of the cars width there is an impressed area where the license plate is mounted. Various badges are mounted near almost all of the vertices of the area (excluding the lower left). Similar in height, at the edges of the car body are the rear light units with inner edges parallel to the outer edges of the license plate area. The rear lights are split into four regions, the central strips are where the turn indicator and reverse lamps are found. The rear lights also have the ability to flash alternately. At the base of the rear bumper, covering three-quarters of the car's width is a trapezium-shaped polymer insert. Near the top of the insert, on wither side there are red horizontal reflectors. In the lower corners of the rear insert there are twin-circle exhaust tips.
The front-wheel drive Interceptor employs wishbone suspension for its front axle. The car also features 4-wheel disc brakes.

- When flipped over, the car's underside did not feature a propellor shaft, which in theory would make the car a front-engine, front wheel drive vehicle.
Cultural references
- The inclusion of this car is a direct reference to the Ford Taurus Interceptors that went into use by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department in 2012.
