|Global Warming and Land Ice
Over the past century, sea level has slowly been rising. This is in part due to the addition of water to the oceans through either the melting of or the "calving" off of icebergs from the world's land ice. Many individual mountain glaciers and ice caps are known to have been retreating, contributing to the rising sea levels. It is uncertain, however, whether the world's two major ice sheets-Greenland and Antarctica-have been growing or diminishing. This is of particular importance because of the huge size of these ice sheets, with their great potential for changing sea level. Together, Greenland and Antarctica contain about 75% of the world's fresh water, enough to raise sea level by over 75 meters, if all the ice were returned to the oceans. Measurements of ice elevations are now being made by satellite radar altimeters for a portion of the polar ice sheets, and in the future they will be made by a laser altimeter as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). The laser altimeter will provide more accurate measurements over a wider area.
The Greenland ice sheet is warmer than the Antarctic ice sheet and as a result, global warming could produce serious melting on Greenland while having less effect in the Antarctic. In the Antarctic, temperatures are far enough below freezing that even with some global warming, temperatures could remain sufficiently cold to prevent extensive surface melting.
Where ice sheets extend outward to the ocean, the ice tends to move out over the surrounding water, forming "ice shelves." There is concern that, with global warming, the water under the ice shelves would be warmer and cause them to break up more readily, forming very large icebergs. If the ice shelves of West Antarctica were to break up, this would release more inland ice in an irreversible process, possibly leading to sea level rises of several meters.
Global Warming Detection and Sea Ice
We need to continue to monitor the location and extent of sea ice and its changes seasonally and interannually. We also need additional studies to determine ice thicknesses and reflectivities. This kind of information can be fed into climate models to attempt to simulate future climate conditions. The same information will also serve as a check on models to see if they are properly simulating existing sea-ice amounts and distributions.

Another arctic blast moves in
Wind chills drop to 20 below
For the 15th time this winter, our area is under either a wind chill advisory or wind chill warning. The wind chill advisory starts at midnight tonight and goes until noon on Wednesday. Wind chills will drop to 20 below.
Our winter blast will bring 2-3 more days with lows at or below zero. This will bring us to 27 days this winter at or below zero. We have not had that many since 1976-1977. The average number of days per winter is 8.
Our overall temperature this winter is 17.6 degrees. This is the coldest winter since 1981-1982 and 12th coldest overall in our history. Our records go back to 1870.
As for more snow, we will have a little band of light snow on Wednesday night. Another round of light snow is possible on Friday and I am watching a potentially stronger storm on Sunday.

The Rolling Stones turn 50 this year. Which is amazing on many levels. Particularly when you consider that many people in and around the scene over the years wouldn't have predicted Stones guitarist and spiritual guide Keith Richards making it to 50, let alone the band he seems to love more than life itself.
But that's the Stones, isn't it? Even Mick Jagger, as a young man interviewed in the never-before-released 1965 film "Charlie Is My Darling" – one of two rather brilliant Stones documentaries seeing daylight this week – only saw the band lasting a few years. It must indeed be an awful lot like Richards has repeatedly stated over the decades – the only way out of the Rolling Stones is "in a pine box."
The 50th anniversary of this seminal British blues-punk-rock 'n' roll band is notable for more than the fact that millions of people around the world still care, will still pay up to $800 per ticket for the best seats at the band's recently announced handful of live shows, and will likely line up to catch "Crossfire Hurricane" when it debuts on HBO at 9 p.m. Thursday, or head to a retail outlet over the weekend to snatch up the ornate "Charlie Is My Darling" box set.
It's significant because the Stones are the only band to have made it this far. Just as the group was making it all up as it went along in its earliest days, evolving from a cover band specializing in American blues and primal rock 'n' roll into a songwriting force out of necessity, so too is the group navigating uncharted waters as the only outfit from its generation to still be cranking it out as its members prepare to enter their 70s. (Both Jagger and Richards will do just that in 2013.)
There will be a flurry of activity in Stones-land concomitant with the anniversary, including the release of (yet another) career retrospective, the double-disc "Grrr!," which includes the brand-new tunes "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot". (The collection drops on Tuesday.) A private intimate show in Paris at the end of October offered a hint of what the band will be bringing to the four shows it has already announced – two in London's 02 Arena in November, and two in Newark, N.J., in December – for the Anniversary tour. Richards has already hinted, to Rolling Stone magazine, appropriately enough, that there will be more shows to come.
Clearly, the demand for a lengthy Stones tour is there. Whether it materializes is anyone's guess, but for the insatiable Stones fanatic, there's plenty to get fired up about, even if you're not lucky (and wealthy) enough to grab a ticket for one of these four shows.
First up is the aborted Peter Whitehead film, "Charlie Is My Darling – Ireland 1965." The British filmmaker Whitehead, who would go on to create the cult classic "Tonight Let's All Make Love In London," was originally commissioned by then Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham to document the band's weekendlong Irish tour of 1965, which took place a mere matter of weeks after the release of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Oldham saw the documentary as "a sort of trial run" for what he hoped would be eventually be a full feature film. That never really came to be, and "Charlie Is My Darling" was only seen in bits and pieces over the years, in the process becoming a much sought-after prize for the Stones collector.
Watching this new 65-minute edit of the film – available on Blu Ray, DVD and deluxe editions, with attendant soundtrack CD and "Live In England '65" disc and vinyl LP – it's not difficult to comprehend why Whitehead's film has taken on a mythlike stature over the years. Captured in lovely, appropriately grainy black & white, "Charlie" offers a snapshot of the band in the midst of its first full-blown hurricane of hysterical adulation.
It might be hard to believe as much after all this time, but in 1965, the Rolling Stones were a positively incendiary band whose performances routinely incited riots. The Stones looked and sounded dangerous, and as Whitehead's film makes plain, the kids themselves were exploding with contradictory emotions that spilled over into hysterical crying jags, Beatlemania-level screaming fits, and a form of adulation that didn't seem to be able to make up its mind between expressions of love and violence.
Whitehead blends interviews with live footage of the Irish shows – stunning, particularly on the first night, when the band manages to get through only a handful of tunes before the stage is simply taken over by fans, who attack with vigor. It's mass hysteria, a blend of sexual awakenings among the fans, and the desire on their part to overthrow the tired values of their elders – a revolution of sex, liberty and personal possibility, then, and one that would come to define the decade within a few years.
Particularly chilling is the film-opening interview with the late Brian Jones, who already looks weary, nervous and worn-out by 1965. "Let's face it," Jones says, staring straight into the camera's lens. "The future as a Rolling Stone is very uncertain." Within a few years, Jones would be unceremoniously dumped from the band. He'd end up dead at the bottom of his own swimming pool before reaching his 30th birthday.
The rest of the interviews reveal Jagger as a thoughtful young man clearly in tune – and perhaps somewhat frightened by – the sexual energy of his performances, and their effect on his audience; drummer Charlie Watts as the somewhat bemused "normal guy" in the band, unfazed by all of it, and wishing he could go home to be with his wife, read books and listen to records; and bassist Bill Wyman, who seems to be (mostly) enjoying all of it, pinching himself, and relieved that he'd been able to actualize his childhood dream of becoming a professional musician.
Sadly, Richards was never interviewed in a one-on-one format for the film.
The new cut of "Charlie Is My Darling" looks and sounds excellent, particularly considering how much recording technology has evolved since 1965. This is it, then – the Holy Grail of Stones films documenting their first days as "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world."
Equally fascinating is "Crossfire Hurricane: The Rise of the Stones," an HBO film by director Brett Morgen which chronicles the band's first decade.
Gone is the wide-eyed innocence of the Whitehead film, as "Crossfire Hurricane" begins in 1972, with Jagger snorting cocaine off a knife blade before heading out onto the stage. This is the Stones in full-on decadence mode. The drugs have moved in; the darkness that was once merely hinted at with bleary eyes and an on-stage thrust of the hips from Jagger has become a deep hedonistic night.
Morgen moves backward from this opening montage, tracing the band's development from cover band to "voice of a generation" to rolling pharmaceutical company, aided by audio-only present-day interviews with the surviving Stones. It's both a disturbing and a fascinating film, one that makes no attempt to frame the band in flattering light, but instead offers a warts, drugs 'n' all view into the band's evolution.
So there you go. Even if you live in a different tax bracket than many of the folks who will catch a 50th Anniversary Rolling Stones concert this year, there's still plenty for you to indulge in.
And they keep on rolling…

It's not often that we see the name of Stephen McKinley Henderson, the Buffalo-based actor and University at Buffalo professor, on the playbill for a local production.
But Henderson, who has appeared in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" and an impressive list of other projects, has found time to direct Buffalo Laboratory Theatre's production of Rajiv Joseph's two-hander "Gruesome Playground Injuries."
The show, which opens tonight in the BLT's home in Hilbert College's Swan Auditorium (5200 South Park Ave., Hamburg), features BLT founders Taylor Doherty and Kathleen Golde. They play two characters whose lives intersect in strange and often unexpected ways across a 30-year span.
Henderson, Doherty and Golde have been working on the play in fits and starts since the summer because of Henderson's schedule.
"We knew that it was going to be a challenge, because at any moment, he was getting a call from Steven Spielberg," Doherty said. But the opportunity to work with Henderson, he added, has been well worth it. "Even if nobody in the world knew that Steve was the director of what we're doing, it would still be the opportunity for us that we've always wanted."
Tickets to the show, which runs through Feb. 9, are $20 general or $15 for seniors and students. Call 202-9033 or visit http://buffalolabtheatre.squarespace.com.

The oil and natural gas-rich Niobrara shale formation that is being drilled into across Weld County and northeastern Colorado has become the subject of an academic research group.
The Niobrara Research Consortium, formed three years ago by geology professors and students at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, is co-sponsored by 34 oil and gas companies across the U.S.
Each company is awarded a position on an advisory board which directs the consortium research.
Dr. Steve Sonnenberg, a Colorado Mines professor and the Charles Boettcher Distinguished Chair in Petroleum Geology, said the purpose of the consortium is to study the geology and resource potential of the Niobrara across the Rocky Mountain Region.
"The study includes an analysis of reservoir properties, source beds, natural fractures, and drilling and completion design," Sonnenberg said.
While Sonnenberg heads the effort, he is supported by Colorado Mines research professor J. Fredrick Sarq, department head John Humphrey (department of geology and geological engineering, and research associate Kathy Emme.
The "heavy lifting" is being done "largely by CSM students who then incorporate results into their thesis projects," Sonnenberg said.
The long range goal, Sonnenberg added, is to understand the Niobrara formation across the region and what changes occur in the depositional environment.
The Niobrara shale formation, which exists at depths of about 6,000 feet, was formed millions of years ago during the Upper Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era. The formation started as a seabed for a great inland seaway that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic.
Warm gulf waters and cooler Arctic waters intermingled in what is now central Colorado, creating a perfect environment for a variety of marine life. Throughout time, a combination of calcium carbonate-bearing debris from algae and the remains of marine life, settled to the bottom of the seaway along with the sediment from an ancient mountain range in what would be Utah today, state geology officials say.
After 6 million to 7 million years, the seaway began to withdraw, leaving thick layers of clay, mixed clay and limestone, chalk, and smaller amounts of silt and sand, geologists say. The organic material, trapped between layers of developing sedimentary rock, formed kerogen, the forerunner of oil and natural gas.
Sonnenberg said the consortium's research is needed to better understand how and why the Niobrara was formed.
"The kind of research done includes source rock analysis, mineralogical analysis, geomechanical analysis, petrophysical analysis, measuring and describing units in outcrops, tying outcrops to subsurface well and core control, etc.," Sonnenberg said. "One of the projects will be focused on the Niobrara production from the Wattenberg field."
According to the consortium's website (geology.mines.edu/Niobrara/index.html), one of the group's main focuses will be the petroleum system approach.
"The petroleum system approach starts with understanding the source beds and their thermal maturity," Sonnenberg said. "The simplest definition of a petroleum system is the source beds and all the genetically-related petroleum accumulations."
Sonnenberg said the public can access information about the study by reading the students projects. Those can be found at the CSM Library.
"In addition we give public talks and also publish papers," Sonnenberg said. "We have several papers that have already been published."

With the ubiquitousness of all of our modern technology, we sometimes forget how out of sync we can get with the natural rhythms of life… All of our machines: our automobiles that allow us to traverse once great distances in time periods measured in minutes not days, our electronic communication devices that enable us to be in constant contact with one another in even the remotest of areas, and of course our air conditioning, a phenomenon that I – as a descendent of ancestors who hailed from a cool island set high on the apogee of our globe – am most particularly grateful for. One hot spell like the first of the summer – such as the one we just passed through – is all it takes to jar us into recalling just how much our modern way of living has impacted the way we move, the way we live, the way we think. It seems sometimes that the possession of all of the accoutrements of modernity lends itself to a sort of schizophrenic way of living – that unless we elect to go "crunchy" and live "off the grid" as it were – we are doomed to live in a connected world of isolation; one that moves too quickly even as time appears to be dragging by. So many of us are balancing what often seem like barely reconcilable opposites: by way of example, for me on a professional level, I use contemporary technologies of wireless and satellite communication to spread principles based upon ancient wisdom thousands of years old; and on a personal level, I strive as best I can to live out the mandate that Jesus gave us in Matthew 25 – to care for the least of my brothers and sisters – in ways both a concrete and personal….all in a society whose technology seems to conversely alienate us from each other even as it connects us in ways our ancestors could scarcely imagine. This is not to say that the technology-dense circumstances of our modern day living has rendered our human agency meaningless: our machines might make our lives simultaneously more complex and more simple, but at the bottom line, it is still our own choices that drive our decisions and actions in this life. Now while modern technology has certainly impacted the pace of our lives, I don't want to imply that life before the advent of the World Wide Web was without its own complexity. One example I can think of comes from my own personal history, and it took place not quit in the Stone Age but not too far after that when I finally declared my Major in my sophomore year at Manhattan College. I attended that school for many reasons, but one most particularly because it was my father's Alma Mater, and it had given him a terrific education in business and accounting which enabled him to eventually open up his own accounting practice and become quite successful. I think that when I first went to the school, the assumption was that I would follow in a similar path. I often smile to my self when I think back on what my fiscally and politically conservative Certified Public Accountant Dad must have thought when I told him that I was going to be taking a major in Peace Studies!
But actually – in retrospect – the stretch between my father's career and my decision to dedicate my professional life to the promotion of the values of peace and justice are not as far apart as they might seem at first blush, for you see the majority of my father's clients came from the world of not-for-profit human services and healthcare – and the majority of those he worked with were Catholic. Growing up, this allowed me to be introduced to a tremendous amount of good and dedicated women and men – leaders in their respective fields – whose professional lives were devoted to the care of the most vulnerable of persons. In their professional, and fiscal – and sometimes political – lives, many of these men and women were quite conservative; they understood that despite the best and most lofty intentions, the care of human persons – especially in their most vulnerable state – requires resources and capital, both human and monetary. And yet – at the end of the day – these human service executives and financial professionals still understood that as Christians the ultimate bottom line requires us to never abandon the least of our brothers and sisters, but instead requires us to use the resources at our disposal to find a way to meet their human needs.
I was thinking recently about all the wonderful Catholic human services professionals that both my father's career – and my own here at Catholic Charities – has allowed me the privilege of knowing over the years when I was reading about some of the dust-up that has erupted surrounding the House of Representative proposed Federal Budget, which was passed back on March 29th. Titled "The Path to Prosperity", the House budget proposal advocates significantly reducing Federal spending on non-military programs – such as housing support for homeless people, the elderly, the disabled, children living in poverty, health care, financial market reforms, Medicaid, domestic and international food programs, and child tax credit refunds – all in an attempt towards significantly reducing the country's $15 trillion budget deficit; additionally the budget calls for simplifying the tax code by closing loopholes and lowering the corporate and individual tax rate from 35% where it is currently to 25%. The response to the proposed House budget on a political basis was predictably swift and severe with the White House labeling it a radical Trojan Horse that was really nothing more then "thinly veiled social Darwinism", but what I thought was particularly fascinating about reaction to this budget was the multiple responses that its publication generated among scholars and practitioners of Catholic social teaching. This was undoubtedly the case because the Chairman of the House Budget Committee and principle drafter of the "The Pathway to Prosperity" – Republican Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan – had appeared on various talk shows and in several interviews to say that his proposed budget sprang from the teachings of his Catholic faith, and that the animating principle behind the budget's significant cuts in Federal non-military spending were rooted in his understanding of the Catholic principle of "subsidiarity", which he defined as relegating decision making and action to the most local level – thereby severely limiting, in his view, government's role in helping the poor and vulnerable.
The response to Ryan's assertions by those in the academia who study Catholic social teaching were swift, and Ryan was sent no less then three separate letters – one from a group of 59 Catholic social justice leaders, religious and clergy, and the other two from professors of Religious Studies at both Georgetown and Marquette University – critiquing what they cited as Representative Ryan's misuse of Catholic social teaching in a document that decimated needed Federal funding for programs that assist the poor and vulnerable. The letters took particular issue with what was deemed Ryan's misunderstanding of the Catholic principle of subsidiarty. First formally developed in the Papal Encyclical Rerum Novarum in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII as a bulwark against collectivism, the principle consists of not one, but two main components: as Representative Ryan asserted, the first component of subsidiarity does indeed assert that the level of human organization closest to the human person (the individual, the family, the local community) should be encouraged to carry out those social functions they can best fulfill, however as a corollary component of subsidiarity, larger levels of human organization (such as the state or federal government) should provide assistance to the smaller units to ensure human necessities are met when the smaller units are unable to fulfill those necessities on their own. In this way, what subsidiarity really asks is that societal assistance be provided at "the lowest level possible", but also at the "highest level necessary" in the words of theologian Meghan Clark. In addition, all three letters made reference to the fact that in Catholic social teaching the principle of subsidiarity is always inexorably linked to the principle of solidarity – especially solidarity with the poor and vulnerable. For his part – in response to these criticism, Representative Ryan responded by saying that his proposed budget does incorporate solidarity by recognizing a role for government in providing a basic safety net for the poor, but that it attempts to restore a balance between solidarity and subsidiarity by placing the onus for providing for the poor and vulnerable on individuals, families, local communities, religious organizations and charities first– he also added that the Church's preferential option for the poor should not be mistaken for a "preferential option for big government."
As someone who's professional career is dedicated to spreading the principles of Catholic social teaching more broadly, I think that the on-going debate that has been generated regarding Representative Ryan's citing of Catholic social teaching as an inspiration for his proposed budget – and the corrective letters sent by the practitioners and academics who study and try to embody that teaching in their work and their lives every day – is ultimately a good thing. As Representative Ryan himself admitted, the teachings of the Social Magisterium of the Church as to how to best advance the Common Good are matters of prudential judgment where people of good will can differ. It does not escape me, however, that I write this blog post in the week when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit – the Pentecost – the Birthday of our Church. In their role as teachers of the Faith, our Bishops have a specific responsibility regarding the promotion of Catholic teaching and its interpretation, a role that we believe that Jesus' promise that the Holy Spirit will come sanctifies. It is for that reason that we Catholics should take particularly seriously the concerns of the United States Bishops Conference regarding the proposed budget in the "The Pathway to Prosperity". In a letter sent to every Member of the House of Representatives on behalf of the Bishops' Conference, Bishop Stephen Blaire, Chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development explained that the budget which was passed fails a "basic moral test" in that the "needs of those who are hungry and homeless, without work or in poverty should come first. Government and other institutions have a shared responsibility to promote the common good of all, especially ordinary workers, and families struggling to live in dignity in difficult economic times"; while acknowledging that the country's budget deficit was a serious concern, the Bishops reminded Congress that the first priority for their actions was the "proposition that first, Congress must do no harm."
Wise words from the Bishops. And as I close this blog post, my mind wanders back to those folks I mentioned earlier – all of those wonderful leaders and financial professionals in Catholic human services that I have been afforded the privilege to know. As I said before, many if not most of these women and men were quite personally and fiscally conservative, they knew well the scarcity of resources – human and financial; they understood the dangers of out of control deficits and spending money that you do not have – however, I am also sure that they understood the essentialness of the services that they provided to those in their care, and the essentialness of placing first the needs of the vulnerable as we sort out our spending priorities. They would recognize the wisdom of the Bishops admonition that – as we proceed as a country in sorting our collective priorities – our first order of business is to "first, do no harm".
And that, my friends, is the bottom line.

Trident Medical Center has received the Mission: Lifeline Bronze Receiving Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.
Each year in the United States, approximately 300,000 people have a STEMI, or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, caused by a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment.
To prevent death, its critical to immediately restore blood flow, either by surgically opening the blocked vessel or by giving clot-busting medication.
The American Heart Associations Mission: Lifeline program helps hospitals, emergency medical services and communities improve response times so people who suffer from a STEMI get prompt, appropriate treatment. The programs goal is to streamline systems of care to quickly get heart attack patients from the first 9-1-1 call to hospital treatment.
Trident Medical Center is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our patients who suffer a heart attack, and the American Heart Associations Mission: Lifeline program is helping us accomplish that goal through internationally respected clinical guidelines, said Allison Walters, AVP of Cardiovascular Services at Trident Health. We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care, and I am very proud of our team.
We commend Trident for this achievement award, which reflects a significant institutional commitment to improve the quality of care for their heart attack patients, said A. Gray Ellrodt, MD, Chair of the Mission: Lifeline committee and Chief of Medicine at the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass. All too many heart attack patients in the United States still fail to receive appropriate treatment for their life-threatening condition within the recommended timeframes. We must all continue this important work to streamline and coordinate regional systems of care to save lives and prevent complications.
Trident Medical Center earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standards of performance for the quick and appropriate treatment of STEMI patients to open the blocked artery.
Before patients are discharged, they are started on aggressive risk reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, aspirin, ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, and they receive smoking cessation counseling if needed. Eligible hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for a designated period to receive the awards.

FARMINGTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A standoff in Farmington that lasted eight hours Saturday night ended with an arrest.
Farmington Police Chief Jack Peck says police were called to a home on Farmington Falls Road around 3 p.m. Saturday for the report of a domestic violence assault, and that a woman at the home had injured herself by striking her arm with a hatchet.
When police arrived on scene, they met the victim who said the woman inside had injured herself and assaulted the victim with a shovel. The victim also stated the woman had access to a loaded firearm.
Police identified the suspect as 38-year-old Rebekah Brown. After authorities arrived on scene, Brown retreated back into the house and refused to speak to officers. The State Police Tactical Team was called to assist, and after several hours contact was made with Brown, who surrendered around 11 p.m.
Police say Brown was treated at the scene for her injury, and was taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital for a mental health evaluation. She was then taken to the Franklin County Correctional Facility, where she is being held on $10,000 cash bail.
Brown is being charged with domestic violence assault and creating a police standoff. A firearm, a hatchet, and a kitchen knife were recovered from the scene by police.
Authorities shut down Routes 2 and 27 for several hours as a safety precaution while the standoff was ongoing.
4:22 PM Correction: This story has been updated. A previous version referred to the suspect by her maiden name.

14 Photographs That Shatter Your Image of Famous People
#7. Teenage Eminem With Alf Shirt and Birthday Cake
Via Eminemworld.com
I've linked to this picture, oh, seven or eight times in my career at Cracked, as it is my favorite celebrity photo of all time. I don't want to say that Eminem's claims of an impoverished life as an abused child aren't true -- I think everyone agrees that they are. To an extent. Still, sometimes he had a birthday and a cake and wore a pink T-shirt depicting Alf wearing X-ray glasses saying, "Hey, nice underwear!"
Still, brooding celebrities who build their career on their dark past do it at the risk of becoming caricatures. For instance, the same can be said of Kurt Cobain -- nobody is going to deny his depression or addiction. However ...
#6. Kurt Cobain Eating an Entire Pizza
Via Flavorwire.com
... it's still a shock to realize sometimes the man just sat down and ate an entire pizza like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.
This is something everybody should understand about depression, by the way. Tell me you haven't at least once heard somebody say, "I refuse to believe it was suicide, I was just out with Mike two weeks ago. He was laughing and joking and eating an entire pizza like it was a video game power-up."
Via Flavorwire.com
Then later played "Cat Puppet" with his daughter while doing a high-pitched cat voice.
Well, depression works that way. Movies have given us a skewed idea of how it works, because there, when a character enters his "dark period," it's with a montage full of sad music and drinking and moping in dim rooms. Real life isn't like that. Not only do moods fluctuate, but even when you're at your lowest you find yourself in social situations where you're not allowed to show it. If you're in a dark place but can't get out of your nephew's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's, you're going to put on a smile for the camera. You feel selfish bringing everybody else down. You put on a cheerful mask.
Then, ironically, if you start playing the role of the tortured artist later, you have to worry about the opposite -- being photographed in a moment of being goofy and carefree. On a similar note ...
#5. Albert Einstein Was Your Drunken Uncle on Vacation
Via Life
If you're considered the smartest man in the world, do you feel self-conscious about taking off your shirt and kicking back in a lawn chair with a goofy hat?
This is Albert Einstein getting some sun in Palm Springs, in 1932. Note his wild hair stuffed vertically into said hat. Still kept the slacks on, though, rather than breaking out the Speedo. You'll be thankful for that, once you see ...
#4. Winston Churchill's Plainly Visible Dong
Via Anorak.co.uk
"I'm Prime Minister and inspirational wartime leader Winston Churchill, and this is my junk. Go ahead, take a picture, it's fine. I made the military invent Lycra just so I could show it off without getting arrested again."
What I enjoy most about that photo is how it's about 10 times more disturbing than if he were simply nude. I'm imagining an alternate history where World War II broke out and he had to be pulled off the beach to go address the nation, with no time to change clothes. So he's standing there before the press and talking about courage and perseverance and everyone is trying not to stare at his shrink-wrapped penis as he slowly becomes more and more visibly aroused.
#3. Just a Normal, Happy Family ...
Via Reviewermag.com
... the Manson Family, that is.
Charles Manson is the most famous serial killer of all time, and maybe the most famous criminal of all time. This is despite the fact that he didn't carry out the killings himself -- the "family" was a cult-slash-hippie commune that he formed that carried out at least a half dozen brutal killings on his orders. Look at how happy these freaks are!
See, you were right to be skeptical about hippies all this time -- they're all peace and love, but give them one charismatic dude in a loud shirt and they'll do whatever he says.
#2. Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek Was a Younger, Cooler Dick Clark
Via Cbc.ca
Yep, that's Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek as a smooth, hip 23-year-old hosting a show called Music Hop in 1963 on the CBC in Canada. He appears to be calling to a young lady to come sit on his lap. This link has video of the young MC in action.
This wouldn't be shocking if it were, say, a young Pat Sajak or Bob Barker. But the difference between Alex Trebek and other game show hosts is that Trebek always comes off like he's a wizard who somehow knows the answer to every single question on every subject. When a contestant gets one wrong, he doesn't look down and read it off the card; he makes sympathetic eye contact with the loser and says, "Ooh, I'm sorry, the Council of Pereiaslav treaty was of course signed in 1654, not 1655." And he has this look on his face like "I know you're kicking yourself for missing that one, we all have our moments of intellectual weakness."
Via Kymx.radio.com
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with being average. Or even stupid, for that matter."
So it's easy to assume he came out of academia somewhere, a genius with unfathomable encyclopedic knowledge who was chosen as the only man smart enough to host a quiz show where he routinely talks down to Ph.D.s like they're kindergarteners. But, no, he's just a TV guy, one who didn't hesitate to use his smooth TV hosting gig to charm the ladies:

"Don't try to hide your arousal, honey. It's not possible."
#1. Colonel Sanders, Hanging Out With Alice Cooper
First of all, how many of you kids thought that "Colonel Sanders" was just a drawing on the KFC logo rather than a real person? He was a real guy, and I don't mean that in the sense that the chain had a dude dress up as him the way McDonald's has guys in Hamburglar costumes running around. He invented the KFC recipe and started the restaurant chain (at age 65, no less). And here he is talking to heavy metal legend Alice Cooper.
After hours of searching, I still have no idea whatsoever how a young rock star from Detroit and a fried chicken magnate from Kentucky wound up in the same room, or what they would possibly have had to talk about. And I guess I don't want to know, that's what makes it a classic in the Awesome People Hanging Out Together genre.
Via APHOT
Seriously, you can get lost for hours in there.
What I do know is that these are two men who both knew exactly how important it is to your "brand" to maintain a unique, consistent visual presentation in public. For the last 20 years of Sanders' life, he would not leave the house without wearing the trademark white suit, black tie and Southern-style beard that made his image so memorable on the franchise's logo. Likewise, you never saw the menacing rocker Alice Cooper in, say, a huge Hawaiian shirt and bicycle shorts. It's all just part of the game.

Item Description
It began as so many formidable projects do, with a modest idea: get four recognized masters to join forces for a tour, bill it as "The Legends of Irish Music," and make a recording. Built around the core group of fiddler Kevin Burke (ex-Bothy Band, now leader of Open House), Jackie Daly (ex-DeDannan) and singer/guitarist Andy Irvine (ex-Planxty, and currently with the EastWind Trio), Patrick Street has indeed evolved into "legendary" status! On their fifth album, Corner Boys, they welcome new recruit Ged Foley (formerly of the Battlefield Band, and now in The House Band), whose inventive guitar licks provide ideal underpinning for Andy Irvine's intricate songs and Kevin Burke and Jackie Daly's seamless duets on fiddle and accordion. Corner Boys adds yet more luster to a group whose tightly executed arrangements and unparalleled musicianship know no equal.

Out-of-pocket is a pimp term. If the ho (whore) is out of pocket that means she is out of line. It could be talking back, not making enough dough (money), scheming behind her pimp's back, or any other non-compliant things. This term can be used for other out of line people that may or may not be worthy enough to be called a ho.

Citigroup's plan to cut 11,000 jobs is far from the first big downsizing Wall Street firms have executed since the 2008 financial crisis. And it won't be the last.
The nation's third-biggest bank is the latest in a series of financial institutions to cut large numbers of jobs. Behind the cuts is new CEO Michael Corbat's push to improve Citi's performance — and free up cash flow so it can boost its paltry stock dividend, currently just a penny a share. But Citi, like its rivals, also faces pressures from new international regulations that will require banks to boost their capital to protect against future crises and new U.S. regulations flowing from the Dodd-Frank Act that are designed to limit banks' risk-taking.
Indeed, while Citi's news Wednesday isn't likely to set off a short-term wave of layoffs, it's part of a broader trend toward an economy that depends much less on the finance industry for jobs and growth than it did before 2008, analysts say. Since the job market bottomed out in 2010, finance has added only 94,000 of the 5 million net new private-sector jobs, according to government data. Before the recession, finance accounted for nearly 6% of private-sector jobs and 22% of the value of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
"We're moving from an economy where we package financial products to one where we build more things, like products and roads,'' said Nancy Bush, a banking analyst at SNL Financial. "Consumers have reduced their debt, governments will reduce their borrowing, As that happens, everything driven by the financial economy will shrink. Whether people like it or not doesn't matter.''
In Citi's case, the moves were overdue, said Michael Mayo, an analyst at Credit Agricole, a persistent Citi critic who this week recommended its shares for the first time in years.
Citi's specific problem is it is under-profitable even by the standards of post-crisis banks, Mayo said. It has been less than half as profitable as rival JPMorgan Chase in the last 12 months. Corbat, who took over when Citi dismissed his predecessor, Vikram Pandit, in October, is the first Citi CEO in years to deal aggressively with the bank's high overhead, Mayo said.
"CEOs 1 through 4 couldn't get it right,'' Mayo said, cracking wise about Citi's executive turnover since Sandy Weill left the top job in 2003. "I didn't think CEO No. 5 would be any better.''
Citi's cuts had little directly to do with the changing rules. The bank has made progress toward meeting future capital standards that will phase in next year through 2019. Its capital base has grown 20% so far this year, leaving a cushion of cash and securities worth 8.6% of its risk-adjusted assets (mostly outstanding loans and trading positions) to guard against future losses, Chief Financial Officer John Gerspach said at an investor conference sponsored by Goldman Sachs Wednesday.
More than half of the jobs Citi will cut are in information technology and other support areas, Citi said. Other cuts included selling or shrinking the bank's consumer businesses in offshore markets, including Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania and Turkey. Sticking with its strategy to focus on 150 cities globally where it sees the greatest potential growth in consumer banking, Citi also will close 84 branches worldwide, including 44 in the U.S.
These decisions have little direct relationship to either Dodd-Frank or the new capital rules. The bank announced no plans to exit, or even significantly shrink, businesses such as trading that require Citi to hold more capital in reserve under the new rules. Instead, the bank, which will have more than $71 billion of revenue this year, said the cuts would reduce its annual sales by only $300 million, while trimming $900 million in annual expenses.
Citi is not alone among banks in needing to trim fat, RBC Capital Markets analyst Gerard Cassidy said.
"When you look at the top 20 banks in the U.S., their average costs are much higher than they need to be if they are going to deliver the return-on-equity numbers shareholders demand,'' Cassidy said. The "vast majority" of banks' costs are personnel, he says.
To pay for the cuts announced Wednesday, Citi will take a one-time charge of $1 billion in the fourth quarter and another $100 million in early 2013, Gerspach said.
Investors applauded the moves. Citi's shares rose 6.3% to $36.46.
The cuts will not be the last at Citigroup, Mayo said.
"The new CEO isn't working in half measures, but it won't be enough," the analyst said. "I'd put this in the category of a tremor, and they need an earthquake."
Industrywide, many cuts do reflect changing regulation. And so do the areas where banks and other finance companies are looking to hire people.
Banks are shedding staff in areas such as trading and parts of investment banking that require a lot of capital, said Constance Melrose, managing director for North America of eFinancialCareers, an online marketplace for companies and recruiters to find finance pros.
At the same time, they are looking to beef up staff in businesses that don't chew up capital — and in fields such as information technology and risk management that will let them run more automated trading operations with fewer people as well as less risk, she said.
Banks worldwide have announced as many as 300,000 job cuts since the start of 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.
The number of positions open in October in hedge funds dropped 42% from a year ago, with 30%-plus drops in currency trading, stock research and mergers. At the same time, companies are looking for 48% more private bankers, because wealth management is a fee-based low-risk business, Melrose said. Overall, listings for financial professionals are down 21% in the last year, Melrose said.
"It would be silly to say hiring isn't soft, but it's not uniform," Melrose said. "Anything that involves taking balance-sheet risk is drawing more scrutiny, and that translates into where you put your people.''
Some cuts are also happening because regulators are pushing back against banks' desires to raise fees in order to offset lost trading and other revenue, Cassidy said. Regulators have forced banks to lower their fees for processing debt card transactions, for example.
One way regulators may have helped cause Wednesday's cuts was when the Federal Reserve quashed Citi's plans to boost its dividend. In April, the Fed announced that Citi didn't have enough capital to both increase its dividend and survive a severe recession that would push loan losses higher.
Wednesday, Gerspach said Citi wants to generate "considerable excess capital for return to shareholders,'' but he didn't give a timetable for any dividend hike.
For the economy, the new regulations and the smaller financial sector they produce will be a mixed bag, said Paul Edelstein, financial economist at consulting firm IHS Global Insight.
"It's bad in the sense that it will be harder to get access to credit," Edelstein said. "And it will be a good thing if it means we don't have financial crises any more. There are trade-offs to this."

of a non-luxury hybrid, buyers can indulge in a CT 200h with our
proven Lexus Hybrid Drive technology," said Mark Templin, group
vice president and general manager, Lexus Division. "Lexus hybrids
currently make up 90 percent of all luxury hybrid sales in the U.S.,
so you can imagine how excited we are to continue our leadership in
this market with the CT 200h."

In addition to announcing pricing for
the CT 200h, Lexus also revealed official EPA numbers for the car.
The CT 200h will achieve 43 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway
(42 combined). Those figures compare to 50 mpg combined for the
Prius which shares the same powertrain (1.8-liter gasoline engine
plus Toyota's Synergy Hybrid Drive).
The Toyota Prius starts at $22,800.

ALBANY – The state's property tax cap violates the constitution by perpetuating funding inequities between rich and poor school districts and violates "one person, one vote" protections, the state's largest teachers union claims in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
The New York State United Teachers union is asking a state court in Albany to overturn the 2011 law that caps the annual growth of local property taxes at about 2 percent, unless 60 percent of local voters agree to tax beyond the cap.
"In challenging the constitutionality of the tax cap, we are fighting for that principle, just as we are fighting for the democratic principles of 'one person, one vote' and for the right of citizens, through local control of their schools, to determine for themselves how much they want to spend on their own community's schools,'' NYSUT President Richard Iannuzzi said in a statement.
The union, which has seen hundreds of its members laid off since the tax cap and economic pressures have forced schools to cut costs, filed its lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Albany this morning.
By setting caps on how much a district can raise in property tax revenues, the tax cap law, NYSUT alleges, keeps in place "funding inequities'' between wealthy districts and those that serve low-income families in urban and rural districts.
The lawsuit alleges seven different causes of action, including arguing that the provision allowing 60 percent of a district's voters to override the cap is unconstitutional. The union during the tax cap debate at the Capitol had sought to have any override attempts work on a simple majority basis – 50 percent plus one vote – in annual school budget votes. The union says the 60 percent rule means that someone wanting to override the cap has only two-thirds the voting power of opponents.
The impact of voter anger over rising taxes, the implementation of the tax cap and a sour economy has led districts across New York to cut student programs and staff positions over the past couple years. Many localities, which are also subject to the tax cap provisions, say they are increasingly feeling fiscal strains in a period of flat-line state aid and limits on how much they can ask local voters to fund state-imposed mandatory costs for expenses like employee pensions and social service programs.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the prime backer of the tax cap, has insisted the property tax program is not a cap, since it does allow local voters to exceed the level if 60 percent of them say so.
"People have a right to go to court. God bless America. God bless our system,'' Cuomo said. But he defended the tax cap as one of the most important changes his administration has achieved and rejected NYSUT's claim for more state aid to schools. "The answer can't always be putting the hand in the pocket of the taxpayers of New York ... The answer that it's more money, more money, more money, I reject,'' he added.
The cap is not a straight cap on each homeowner's property taxes, but rather on the total property tax levy for a district or locality in a given year. There are also spending exceptions to the cap, which means the actual cap can and has gone above the 2 percent level in most communities.
The challenge by the 600,000-member NYSUT, which called the cap "undemocratic,'' is a serious one because it is a well-funded union with the resources to see the court challenge through to the end. Rejection of the cap by the courts would be a political blow to Cuomo, who is up for re-election next year and who made the tax cap plan one of his signature policy initiatives in his first term.
NYSUT says the state has failed to live up to the decision of an historic school funding lawsuit resolved in 2007 in which Albany agreed to spend an additional $7 billion on "low-wealth'' districts. NYSUT said the 2013 budget plan by Cuomo spends about $300 million on public schools than the 2008 level.
While NYSUT wants the state to increase state aid to schools as a way to help districts rely less on property taxpayers, districts over the years have said NYSUT has made the situation worse by opposing certain state mandates that drive up expenses for schools.
In its legal challenge, NYSUT says funding differences between schools is attributable to assessed property values that vary dramatically across the state. It says the way the tax cap is structured local control of school financing is undermined, a protection the state's highest court has upheld in past cases. It says the cap is also flawed because wealthier districts can afford to break the tax cap, leading to further inequities between rich and poor communities.
NYSUT argues the law treats districts differently than many towns, villages and cities. While voters get a crack at the school district funding plans, NYSUT said many localities have only a mayor or supervisor and four council members, who can exceed the cap by a 3-2 vote; NYSUT says that burden is easier to meet than the 60 percent level by voters in a district-wide budget vote, thereby violating equal protection clauses of the state and federal constitutions.
The union also calls illegal the tax cap law's "poison pill'' that sets spending levels if 60 percent override results are not achieved in two separate votes by taxpayers – a provision NYSUT says has a "chilling effect'' on voters who want to spend beyond the cap's level.
An upstate business group that helped push for enactment of the tax cap sharply criticized NYSUT's new lawsuit.
"Once again, NYSUT is showing its disdain for taxpayers. New York state continues to have some of the nation's highest property taxes, and the tax cap was the first step toward addressing this crisis,'' said Brian Sampson, executive director of Unshackle Upstate. He noted 95 percent of the state's schools stayed within the cap level in its first round of school budget votes last year.

Snow and temperatures around freezing made for slick roads in the Redmond area, causing slideoffs and crashes Saturday afternoon and evening.
"It's been pretty slick," said Redmond police Lt. Nathan Garibay. "We definitely have black ice all over, so people just need to slow down."
None of the crashes had caused serious injuries, Garibay said, but in one of the worst, a car crashed into a power pole on NW Helmholtz Way, between Obsidian and Wickiup avenues around 3:30 p.m., causing power lines to fall onto the vehicle and closing the road for hours.
Central Electric Cooperative repair workers were called in after the crash, which knocked out power in the area.
NewsChannel 21's Mackenzie Wilson says more sunshine is due Sunday, with possible rain and snow showers. Then another storm is due, with a warm front Sunday night that will warm temperatures above freezing and into the 40s early in the new weeks.

This past week, thousands of tech geeks, journalists, booth babes, (and Top Chef Contestants?!) descended on Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show, where companies show you mouth-watering products you'll never be able to afford.
There were many big announcements, but in my opinion, Motorola and Verizon stole the show with a much anticipated iPad competitor, the Motorola Xoom, and a fleet of 4G LTE enabled smartphones and tablets. 4G LTE is the 4th generation of wireless standards (an upgrade to 3G), offering extremely fast download speeds on your mobile devices.
The Motorola Xoom, winner of CNET's Best of Show Award, is definitely drool worthy. The Xoom has a 10.1 inch screen, an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor, rear and front facing cameras, 32gb built-in memory, flash support, and Android's brand new Honeycomb interface, built specifically for tablets. Whatever you do with it, it's going be pretty awesome. Play the latest Android games, update your Facebook, use the latest O2uk Mobile Broadband or watch Youtube videos. Basically whatever you do will seem bigger and better than ever. If you can afford to splurge on a hot new hi-tech gadget this year, this one is my recommendation. Compared to iPad's 9.7 inch screen, A4 processor, no cameras, no flash, and iOS, this tablet is arguably better across the board. Oh, and it looks shiny too.
The new Vizio line of TVs are not only beautiful (full-array LED backlight, 480hz refresh rate, etc.), they come with a host of Internet Apps (VIA). One of these apps, OnLive, is a cloud-gaming service that offers a bunch of cool features. My favorite is called "Versus", which uses the 3D capability of the television to allow two separate gamers to use the entire screen without need a "split-screen mode".
Each player wears the 3D glasses, which send a different image to the right and left eye, so that each player will simultaneously see a 2D image of their screen on the television. Halo party, my house?
Last year I predicted that 3D glasses would be the new hipster trend, but I think I have a new favorite pair of sunglasses. Lady Gaga paired up with Polaroid to introduce a pair of terminator-inspired specs that take pictures.
Ridiculous? Maybe. Expensive? I'm sure. Awesome? ABSOLUTELY.
Last year at CES, 3D was a big deal. However this holiday season, 3D TV sales suffered because of the lack of specialized content. Maybe this will help that. Now for the low cost of $1400 Panasonic released the first 3D videocamera last year for the low low cost of $21000, then a consumer friendly model last October for $1400, and now have upgraded their line.
I can hear it ten years from now at preppy private schools, "Oh… your home videos aren't in 3D? I don't know if we can be friends…"
Manufacturers have finally figured out a way to use the insane amounts of processing power they are putting into smartphones these days. Let you use it like a computer! The Motorola Atrix 4G comes with a laptop dock. This dock, once you plug in your phone, brings whatever you are doing on your phone into a larger screen, allowing you to surf the web, watch videos, write emails with the comfort of a full-sized laptop. Nifty eh?
Tired of your external hard drive crashing and losing all your illegally downloaded movies? Well IoSafe is here to save you! In a video demonstration at CES, they showed how their external harddrive can withstand 10 rounds from a SHOTGUN. Since I often accidentally fire my shotgun at my hard drive, I'll totally be buying this baby.
Verizon's new system combines security, power usage, and appliance usage all into one manageable system. It allows you to check in either on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or FIOS-enabled TV to see how much power you are using and which appliances are turned on. Went on vacation and forgot to turn the porch light on? Just log online and switch the light off. Headed home after a long day of work and want to hop right into a warm bed? Just log onto through your smartphone and switch on your electric blanket. The possibilities are endless. Unfortunately, this system is only available right now in New Jersey. Verizon is missing a big opportunity if they don't get the Jersey Shore to endorse this…
And there you have it! My favorite tech picks from CES 2011. What caught your attention?

Once again, the 284-acre parcel east of Glenshire is under review for possible development of 185 lots. This land has seen 3 proposals for development since the 1970s, all have resulted in failure. The DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) has been released by the Town of Truckee, and the community now has until March 1 to weigh in and comment on the Canyon Springs proposal.
SOSG (Save Open Space Glenshire) and MAPF (Mountain Area Preservation Foundation) have been looking at alternate uses of the land, No. 1 being a buyout to preserve the area as a permanent open space. This would be good for the Glenshire region, as research shows that property values in communities adjacent to dedicated open space can rise as much as 20 percent.
With the current glut of available lots in Truckee that are currently not built upon, to add close to 200 more units would not help Truckee economically, or improve the quality of life for both the people or indigenous animals that live here.
The community of Truckee needs to get involved and look at the implications of unbridled development. If Canyon Springs goes in, much more development would likely follow in the Eastern Truckee area. Truckee will never be the same. If we must develop, transfer of development rights for infill development closer to the center of town, rather than creating urban sprawl, would be more in line with the town's general plan.
We have to start thinking responsibly regarding all this endless development. We must look at what's best for the environment, and our quality of life. We are destroying the beauty, peace and tranquility we came here for.

President, SOS Glenshire

Updated 2:15 p.m.: Dallas ranked No. 9 for the most caregivers and certified nursing aides hired through Caregiverlist.com and for the most seniors aging at home. Chicago was No. 1.
Caregiverlist.com's first Senior Care Employment Index also provided other industry employment, wage and growth information:
– U.S. senior care agencies have grown 40 percent in the last five years due to aging Baby Boomers.
– Nearly 11,000 senior care agencies operation nationwide, including 1,000 that opened in 2012 alone. Updated 2:15 p.m.: In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, 106 senior home care agencies have opened since 2008.
– More than 4,000 caregivers and certified nursing assistants are hired each month across the country through Caregiverlist.com.
– Nearly 19,000 caregivers earn a national average of $10 an hour and $120 a day.
"Since 2008, the industry has experienced expansive growth, even in a challenged economy," Caregiverlist.com chief executive Julie Northcutt said in a statement. "The future of senior care giving is going to continue to exponentially grow as the number of seniors in America will increase by 75 percent in the next decade."
Chicago-based Caregiverlist.com is a site that connects seniors and professional caregivers with senior care options.

text: Hailing from Cologne, Roosevelt has taken John Martyn's 'Small Hours' and turned it into four minutes of ambient bliss. Similar to the 1977 original, this is one of those songs that just takes you away to another place, a world away from the stresses of everyday life. I picture myself floating on a warm lake somewhere in middle America when I listen to this — no traffic, sirens, loud construction, helicopters… no distractions whatsoever. Beautiful song that really just washes over you. Keep an eye on Roosevelt, and take a listen to his 'Elliot EP' if you haven't yet.
