Jazz legend James Moody battling cancer
A national treasure, the saxophone great is resting peacefully at his San Diego home
During a 2005 Union-Tribune interview to preview her performance here at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, soul music queen Franklin brightened notably upon learning her Moody – one of her longtime idols -- resided in the area.
"Does James Moody live in San Diego? The famous James Moody! I would love to meet him," Franklin said during that interview.
She then added: "I wonder if he would come to the concert and sing `Moody's Mood for Love?' And I would sing it with him. I've never, ever met him. And I would absolutely love to."
Their unrehearsed duet of the song on stage at Humphrey's was a highlight of the concert for Franklin, who laughed with delight when Moody launched into a darting scat vocal line so ebullient and intricate that even she couldn't match it.<
Moody's most recent album, "4B," was released just this summer.
He has made more than 50 albums as a band leader and has been featured on literally hundreds more by such prominent artists as Quincy Jones, Oscar Peterson, Lionel Hampton, B.B. King and trumpet great Dizzy Gillespie, who was Moody's early mentor and served as his best man when Moody and Linda were married here.
Moody regularly performed concerts around the world until late last year. He was in typically robust and spirited form during a Union-Tribune interview early this year at his San Carlos home, where he spoke thoughtfully about his lifelong dedication to jazz and the saxophone.
"With any instrument, you never get it all. But you try to get as much as you can," he said.
"That's why music is infinite. When I say it's good to always practice, it doesn't mean playing something you know. You practice what you don't know. The point is, you have to find out what you don't know."

Article: The impact of high-frequency current variability on dispersion off the eastern Antarctic Peninsula[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present observations of high-frequency current variability on the continental shelf and the slope of the Antarctic Peninsula using Lagrangian surface drifters deployed as part of the Antarctic Drifter Experiment: Links to Isobaths and Ecosystems (ADELIE) project. Here we focus on high-frequency processes such as tides and inertial oscillations that are typically smoothed out of large-scale spatially averaged, and/or temporally averaged, observed current fields. We investigate the role that this class of motion plays in the transport of physical or biogeochemical properties. Lateral displacements on the shelf and slope are found to be larger than displacements in deeper waters where tidal currents are negligible. We apply this result in a parameterization of the lateral dispersion during an off-line drifter modeling study. The outcome is an improvement on the modeling of Lagrangian drifting particles compared with a standard random walk scheme.Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres 11/2011; 116.

ABSTRACT: Atmospheric forcing, which is known to have a strong influence on surface ocean dynamics and production, is typically not considered in studies of the deep sea. Our observations and models demonstrate an unexpected influence of surface-generated mesoscale eddies in the transport of hydrothermal vent efflux and of vent larvae away from the northern East Pacific Rise. Transport by these deep-reaching eddies provides a mechanism for spreading the hydrothermal chemical and heat flux into the deep-ocean interior and for dispersing propagules hundreds of kilometers between isolated and ephemeral communities. Because the eddies interacting with the East Pacific Rise are formed seasonally and are sensitive to phenomena such as El Niño, they have the potential to introduce seasonal to interannual atmospheric variations into the deep sea.Science 04/2011; 332(6029):580-3.

Article: Modeling the Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Northern Gulf of California Salinity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 7 years (2003-2009) of output from a regional version of the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) nested in global HYCOM are used to study the seasonal and interannual variability of the salinity in the northern Gulf of California (NGOC). Previous studies illustrate that the NGOC is characterized by an annual evaporation of ~0.9 m/yr. This evaporation generates high-sea-surface-salinity (SSS) water, which reaches a maxima in the NGOC (>37) and decreases to ~35 toward the entrance of the Gulf of California. The NGOC surface water is interannually modulated by fluctuations in evaporation and by fluctuations in the low-salinity water transported into the region by poleward eastern boundary currents. The fluctuations in the transport of low-salinity water are linked to the arrival of equatorially originated coastally trapped waves. The crucial role of the transport of low-salinity water for the interannual variability of SSS is illustrated by the 2006 and 2008 fall seasons, which include the lowest simulated salinity of the period 2003-2009. The lowest salinity in 2006 and 2008 cannot be explained solely by evaporation because 2006 was characterized by the largest evaporation of the period 2003-2009. However, the presence of the lowest-salinity environment can be attributed to the evaporation in conjunction with the largest upper ocean transport of low-salinity water carried to the NGOC by the 2006 and 2008 coastally trapped waves intensified poleward eastern boundary currents.02/2011; 116:13.

Article: Net primary productivity, upwelling and coastal currents in the Gulf of Ulloa, Baja California, Mexico[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Gulf of Ulloa, a highly productive area off the western coast of Baja California Peninsula, is examined for five successive years (2003-2007) by using satellite data and seasonal net primary productivity estimates obtained by a vertical generalized production model. The results clearly identify a seasonal signal of coastal upwelling in productivity estimates. Highest values occur from May to June and sometimes July. We also find influence of an equatorward coastal current able of transporting water from neighboring north upwelling areas to the Gulf of Ulloa in winter-spring. This flow contributes to increase the seasonal net primary productivity. The opposite occurs in summer, when a warm poleward current of tropical characteristics arrives to the region. Our findings reveal that such warm coastal current suppressed the productivity in the whole.Ocean Science 01/2011; DOI:10.5194/osd-8-1979-2011 · 1.96 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) has been configured for the Gulf of California (GOC) at 1/12° and 1/25° horizontal grid resolution and has been nested inside a basin-scale 1/12° Pacific version of HYCOM. The nested GOC models are used to study the upper-ocean GOC response to Hurricane Juliette. The model results indicate that Juliette's winds forced strong poleward coastal baroclinic currents (meridional velocity >60 cm/s) along the southwestern coast of the GOC. That reversed the well-observed mean equatorward currents along the southeastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula. These Juliette-induced currents forced a transport variation of >0.2 Sv along the entrance of the GOC. In addition, Juliette's winds increased the mixed layer depth (from ∼5 m to ∼40 m) and induced strong upwelling (vertical velocity >30 m/day) along the southeastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula. The model simulated upwelling is corroborated by model independent analysis of SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a satellite measurements. During its early stage Juliette generated a coastally trapped wave (CTW) along mainland Mexico. After its generation the CTW propagated poleward along the coasts of the mainland and GOC, where it reached the shelf break between the 28°N and 29°N and it reversed the direction and propagated equatorward along the western coast of the GOC. Next, the CTW propagated to the southwestern coast of the GOC, where it partially modulated the intensity of the Juliette-generated coastal upwelling.Ocean Modelling 01/2010; 33(1-2-33):20-32.

ABSTRACT: Ocean models run with atmospheric forcing but without ocean data assimilation are useful in studies of ocean model dynamics and simulation skill. Models that give realistic simulations with accurate dynamics, when run without data assimilation, are essential for eddy-resolving ocean prediction because of the multiple roles that ocean models must play in ocean nowcasting and forecasting, including dynamical interpolation during data assimilation, representing sparsely observed subsurface ocean features from the mixed layer depth to abyssal currents, converting atmospheric forcing into ocean responses, imposing topographic and geometric constraints, performing ocean forecasts, and providing boundary and initial conditions to nested regional and coastal models. A wide range of ocean dynamics contribute to these different roles. Here we focus on evaluating the dynamics of mid-latitude ocean currents simulated by state-of-the- art, eddy-resolving ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) with high vertical resolution, using the Gulf Stream as an example.

ABSTRACT: The Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is used to forecast the three-dimensional structure in various parts of the world ocean (the Gulf of Mexico, the northern Gulf of Mexico, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of California, and the Hawaii region). The horizontal resolution varies between them, but the coarsest is ~3.5 km. Vertical resolution varies from 20 to 32 layers. Lateral boundary forcing is supplied by global or basin- scale versions of HYCOM, and surface wind and heat flux forcing from the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS). The lateral boundary conditions use a "buffer area" for the baroclinic mode where the fine-grid solution is relaxed towards the outer coarse grid solution. The method of Characteristics is used for the barotropic mode. Most of the models assimilate ocean observations via the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (NCODA) system. The primary observations include satellite-derived sea surface height and temperature as well as Argo profile data. The NCODA configuration used here is based on multi-variant optimal interpolation and uses the Cooper-Haines (1983) technique for downward projection of surface observations. The forecast length varies but is typically between 3-7 days. The value-added of downscaling to higher resolution is demonstrated through various model-data comparisons, particularly data that was withheld from the data assimilation system. In the Gulf of Mexico, Loop Current Rings and (some) cyclonic rings compare favorably to independently derived thermal fronts measured with multi-channel SST's (MCSST). The northern Gulf of Mexico domain, which represents a triple- nested system, is used to generate ensembles to examine the variance associated with errors in the initial state, surface wind forcing, etc. Near-surface current patterns in the Persian Gulf are compared to drouged drifters. Several of the circulation features in the Hawaii area are compared to observations collected during a recent Navy exercise. The sea level height in the Gulf of California agrees very well with the height measured by coastal tide guage stations. This domain was also used to exhaustively investigate the sensitivity of the lateral boundary condition parameters. The general circulation features in these regions are discussed, as well as technical aspects of the assimilation and validation.

ABSTRACT: Ocean color and sea surface temperature satellite-observations show the existence of a series of anticyclonic eddies along the axis of the southern Gulf of California (SGOC). To investigate the summer generation of these eddies, a regional version of the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) has been configured for the GOC and has been nested inside the global model. A Suite of experiments, using the nested GOC model, was developed and used to isolate the effects of the local wind and the effects of the oceanic remote forcing On the generation of the SGOC eddies The results indicate that the local wind is not essential for the generation of these eddies rather it is the oceanic remote forcing. In the SGOC the monthly variability of the currents and sea surface height is mainly due to the deterministic near-coastal poleward eastern boundary currents (PEBC). The interaction of the PEBC with the topographic irregularities (the capes at Topolobampo and Cabo Lobos and the ridges extending...06/2008; 113:22. DOI:10.1029/2007JC004467

ABSTRACT: An operational version of the Navy Layered Ocean Model is used to study the generation of a coastally trapped wave forced by a strong and intermittent wind event at the Northern Bight of Panamá. This study identifies the winds at the Northern Bight of Panamá as a new source for the generation of coastally trapped waves along the west coast of the North American continent. The results indicate that after its generation, the wave propagated poleward increasing the sea level > 10 cm, producing surface currents > 50 cm/s, and traveling > 1200 km. The generation and existence of the coastally trapped wave and the model results are validated with sea surface height coastal tide gauge observations.Atmosfera 01/2008; · 0.80 Impact Factor
Article: Nesting the Gulf of Mexico in Atlantic HYCOM: Oceanographic processes generated by Hurricane Ivan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) has been configured for the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) at 1/25° horizontal grid resolution and has been nested inside a basin-scale 1/12° Atlantic version of HYCOM. The 1/25° nested GOM model is used to study temperature variations, current patterns, transport variations, and two coastal-trapped waves (CTWs) generated by Hurricane Ivan during mid September 2004. The model results indicate that the winds generated by Ivan: (1) induced a transport variation of approximately 2 Sv/day along the Yucatan Channel, (2) enhanced the oceanic mixing lowering the sea surface temperature more than 3 °C along Ivan's path, (3) produced a thermocline vertical velocity of >100 m/day, and (4) generated a westward transport of ∼8 Sv along the northern coast of the GOM that was redirected by the Louisiana coastline inducing a southward transport of ∼6 Sv. Throughout its passage over the Caribbean Sea Ivan generated first a CTW along the south east coast of Cuba. After its generation this wave propagated along the coast and partially propagated along the western tip of the Cuban Island and continued its propagation along the northern coast of the Island. The model existence of CTWs along the coast of Cuba is reported for the first time. Later on, over the Florida–Alabama–Mississippi–Louisiana coast, Ivan's westward winds drove a model oceanic onshore transport and generated a strong coastal convergence. The convergence raised the sea surface height ∼90 cm generating a second CTW, which is characterized by alongshore and cross-shore scales of ∼700 and ∼80 km, respectively. The CTW current pattern includes westward surface currents of more than 2.0 m/s. After its generation, the wave weakened rapidly due to Ivan's eastward winds, however a fraction of the CTW propagated to the west and was measured by a tide gauge at Galveston, Texas. The descriptions, hypothesis, and discussions presented in this study are based on model results and those results are compared and validated with sea surface height coastal tide gauge observations and sea surface temperature buoy observations.Ocean Modelling 01/2008; DOI:10.1016/j.ocemod.2007.12.002 · 2.59 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: [1] TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 satellite altimeter observations and the 1/16 degree Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) show the existence of anticyclonic eddies in the Cabo Corrientes - Maria Islands region off the Mexican West Coast. Analysis of the results demonstrates that: (1) The Cabo Corrientes - Maria Islands region is characterized by mean poleward coastal currents, driven by local wind forcing. (2) The local currents are intensified by the arrival of baroclinic down welling coastally trapped waves (CTWs), generated in the equatorial Pacific. (3) Anticyclonic eddies are generated as the intensified local currents pass cape-like features in the coastline or shelf-break geometry. (4) From I 979 to 2001 the CTWs generated an average of 2.35 (2.5) Cabo Corrientes (Maria Islands) anticyclonic eddies per year. (5) The formation of eddies carries interannually. increasing (decreasing) during El Nino (La Nina) years. Comparison of a variety of numerical simulations. which include different dynamics and%or different wind forcing and/or different topographic effects, suggests that bottom topography. local wind, and baroclinic instabilities are not essential for the eddy generation. It is (a) the capes at Cabo Corrientes and the Maria Islands and (b) the strong transient events associated with the CTWs that are essential to the formation of these newly recognized eddies05/2007; DOI:10.1029/2006JC004018

ABSTRACT: The variability of the Eastern Pacific Warm Pool (EPWP) is studied analyzing observations from the Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System, results from the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), and sea surface height anomaly data. Results indicate that the EPWP strengthens and weakens, but remains throughout the year. The monthly variability of the EPWP is primarily forced by the surface heat fluxes (SHF), which generate the EPWP's May (January) maximum (minimum) coverage of ~4,000,000 (~30,000) km2 and the July mid-summer minimum of ~2,300,000 km2. In addition to the SHF the interannual variability of the EPWP is influenced by the coastal-warm-water advected poleward by the Costa Rica Coastal Current and interannual coastally-trapped- waves (CTWs). During its poleward propagation the interannual CTWs generate westward propagating long Rossby waves that advect the coastal-warm-water offshore, contributing to the westward strengthening of the EPWP. Furthermore, it is shown that the dimensions of the EPWP increase (decrease) during El Niño (La Niña) years.

ABSTRACT: TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter observations and the Naval Research Laboratory Layered Ocean Model simulations show interannual variability in the number intensity of Tehuantepec eddies off the Mexican southwest coast. Analysis of the results illustrates that downwelling coastally trapped waves, which are generated in the equatorial Pacific, play a crucial role in the modulation and generation of Tehuantepec eddies and a paradigm in which the generation and modulation of Tehuantepec eddies is not exclusively explained in terms of the strong and intermittent Tehuantepec wind events. In fact, the results show anticyclonic eddy formation during periods of calm Tehuantepec winds. That is specifically exemplified by the formation of two anticyclonic Tehuantepec eddies during a five-month period of weak Gulf of Tehuantepec winds during summer of 1997. Furthermore, the satellite-observed and NLOM-simulated proliferation of Tehuantepec eddies during El Nino years is explained by the corresponding increase in downwelling coastally trapped waves and a lack of increases in the number and strength of Tehuantepec wind events during El Nino years.05/2006; 111:23.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of observations of the Loop Current (LC) northward penetration and LC area, from satellite sea surface temperature, Topex/Poseidon (TP) sea surface height anomaly, and results from numerical simulations shows that when a relatively large cyclone remains north of the LC, the shedding period between two consecutive eddies may increase. It is shown that the interaction between the LC and the cyclone produces leakage of mass from the current and pushes the LC towards the West Florida Shelf escarpment, where mass is also redistributed due to the generation of a pressure gradient and a jet along the shelf edge. This process delays the northward penetration of the LC and the enlargement of its area, increasing the time between eddy shedding. This happened in 1998, when the largest registered period between eddy shedding since 1973 occurred, and the largest cyclone of the TP era was north of the LC.

ABSTRACT: Hydrographic and current measurements in the Northern Gulf of California from December 1994 through March 1995 show conditions that are markedly different from those accepted as typical for winter. A rapid subsurface warm water intrusion (∼0.5 °C warmer) was observed, which reduced the stratification and stopped, and eventually reversed the typical anticyclonic winter circulation. An empirical orthogonal function analysis of the mean vertical structure of temperature and salinity of historical hydrographic data reveals that similar conditions occurred during March 1973 (warm water intrusion and weakening of stratification). In this study, it is proposed that these anomalous conditions are due to a combination of local and remote forcings: extensive water-mass formation in the Upper Gulf of California and the arrival of an intraseasonal downwelling coastally trapped wave to the Northern Gulf of California.Continental Shelf Research 01/2006; 26(1):82-103.

ABSTRACT: We analyze sea level and transports in the Gulf of California from two large-scale, high-resolution numerical models: the Naval Research Laboratory Layered Ocean Model and the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model. Sea level from both models correlates well with sea surface height from a nearby TOPEX track and subsurface pressure measured in the northern gulf during 1997-1998. An 8-year mean (1993-2000) section of the modeled meridional velocity at the mouth of the gulf is in good qualitative agreement with observations, showing a localized near-surface outflow on the Baja California side. The 8-year mean, laterally integrated modeled near-surface transport at the mouth of the gulf shows an opposite direction for both models. During the 1997-1998 El Niño, however, both models show a similar structure with increased inflow in the upper 100 m and an increased outflow in the underlying layer to about 500 m depth. The modeled surface transport also shows increased inflow in the northern gulf. The modeled incoming surface transport from both models during El Niño is negatively correlated to near-bottom currents measured at a sill in the northern gulf. This measured near-bottom current has previously been shown to constitute part of the strong, localized incoming flow from the Pacific Ocean. The negative correlation strongly suggests that the anomalous incoming surface flow at the mouth of the gulf inhibited the normal near-surface outflow of the northern Gulf of California water. This, in turn, inhibited the normal deeper inflow, entering the northern gulf from the Pacific Ocean. These anomalies apparently increased the residence time of the waters in the northern gulf. They are consistent with anomalously high near-bottom salinities found during 1997-1998. Hydrographic data for July 1997 also show an anomalous low salinity surface water, which is most likely associated with advection of tropical waters from the Pacific Ocean.Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres 01/2005; 110.

ABSTRACT: One component of the DoD HPC Challenge project on ``Basin-scale Prediction with the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model" has been the development of a high resolution, Pacific version of HYCOM. The configuration for the Pacific (20° S - 66° N) has an equatorial grid resolution of 1/12° and 20 vertical coordinate surfaces. Surface forcing includes wind stress and speed, thermal forcing, precipitation, relaxation to sea surface salinity and monthly varying river runoff. Closed boundaries exist in the Indonesian Seas, the Bering Strait and along 20° S. A 3° buffer zone is included along 20° S with relaxation to monthly climatological temperature and salinity. The model has been integrated with both monthly climatological and 6-hourly interannual European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts forcing. It accurately simulates the large-scale circulation gyres and the major current systems. Near the western boundary in the vicinity of Luzon Strait and Taiwan, model-data comparisons of velocity as a function of depth indicate the climatological forced simulation agrees closely with the observations. The tropical current systems (South Equatorial Current, North Equatorial Counter Current, Equatorial UnderCurrent (EUC), and subsurface, off-equator Tsushiya jets) also compare very well against available velocity observations. Interannual variability is clearly evident in the simulation with 6-hourly forcing. In typical years, zonal velocity of the EUC along the equator shoals and strengthens from west to east. During the 1982-83 El Nino, the velocity core is essentially level with uniform magnitude across the central Pacific Ocean. In addition, Pacific HYCOM produces a coastally trapped wave generated by Hurricane Juliette that propagates poleward along the Mexican coast, into and out of the Gulf of California before continuing its poleward journey along the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula. High correlations exist between modeled and observed sea level along its path.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of cyclonic eddies with the Loop Current (LC) evolution is studied using the Navy Coastal Ocean Model, the Navy Layer Ocean Model, Topex/Poseidon altimetry, and AVHRR images. It is shown that the longest period registered between eddy shedding, from February 1998 to August 1999, is associated with the presence of a large cyclone that remains north of the LC during several months. Using numerical simulations, it is shown that large cyclones develop sporadically in the region and that they block the northward penetration of the LC. The LC leaks mass, momentum, and energy through a jet and small anticyclones moving along the slope of the West Florida Shelf, east of the cyclone. The process causes an enlargement of the period between eddy shedding.
Article: On the evolution of coastally trapped waves generated by Hurricane Juliette along the Mexican West Coast[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 1] An operational real-time eddy-resolving (1/16°) global ocean nowcast/forecast system is used to study the evolution of two coastally trapped waves generated by Hurricane Juliette along the Mexican West Coast. Results indicate that the first wave was generated along mainland Mexico and it propagated poleward as a free coastally trapped wave; it also generated anticyclonic eddies near Cabo Corrientes and the María Islands. Upon entering the Gulf of California the wave weakened cyclonic eddies and after reaching the shelf break north of Guaymas, it reversed direction and propagated southward along the east coast of the Baja California Peninsula (BCP). Next, the wave generated an anticyclonic eddy at Cabo San Lucas. Finally, the wave weakened while exiting the gulf and propagated northward along the BCP West Coast. The second coastally trapped wave was generated by Juliette's poleward winds along the BCP West Coast, but was subsequently greatly weakened by Juliette's equatorward winds.Geophysical Research Letters 01/2002; 29(23).

ABSTRACT: TOPEXjPOSEIDON and ERS-2 (TfER.S) ~ surface height altimeter observations and the Naval Re- search Laboratory Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) are used to study the circulation along the southwest coast of Mex- ico. The results of this research indicate that strong El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) wann phase Kelvin wa~ (KW) destabilize the upper ocean circulation. The effect of ENSO appears as three distinct stages. First, a coastal jet characterized by strong vertical shear flow d&- velops. Second, the shear flow strengthens, increasing its horizontal dimension and the amplitude of its oscillations. Finally, the jet becomes unstable and breaks into anticY- clonic eddies, which separate from the coast and drift south- westward. The genesis and strengthening of the jet is due to the simultaneous occurrence of the poleward-flowing cur- rents along the southwest coast of Mexico and the poleward circulation associated with ENSO downwelling KW. NLOM results and T jERS altimeter observations show that when downwelling KW arrive at the CZ, their ass0- ciated velocities accelerate the already existent poleward coastal currents in the CZ producing a coastal baroclinic jet, which turns unstable and generates eddies. Similar mecha- nisms have already been proposed to explain the presence of eddies in the Gulf of Alaska (Melsom et al., 1999). Robinson (1983) and PichetJin et al. (1999) have shown that eddies have an important impact on the transport of water, heat, and energy and, therefore, biology and climate. The present report examines the nature and evolution of this newly recognized coastal jet and provides evidence to support that only downwelling KW contribute to the gener- ation of the jet. Our approach is via the analysis of 16 years of data from a NLOM simulation (1981-1996). The tem- poral characteristics of the experiment allow us to compare three different scenarios: neutral years (1981, 1983 - 1985, 1989-1990, 1992-1996), ENSO warm phase (El Nffio) years (1982, 1986 -1987, 1991), and ENSO cold phase (La Nifia) years (1988). The numerical results and the eddy generation hypothesis are validated with T /ERS observations.Geophysical Research Letters 01/2001; 28(1). DOI:10.1029/2000GL011814 · 4.46 Impact Factor

Firefighters and police are on the scene of a suspected chemical leak in northeast Minneapolis. They have blocked off an area bordered by 1st Avenue NE, University Avenue, 3rd Avenue NE and 2nd Street NE. A firefighter told reporter Nicole Norfleet that some type of chemical was discovered frozen underground, but no information has been released. The leak happened in the vicinity of Superior Plating, a 92-year-old company featured in a Star Tribune story today because it's shutting down within days.
UPDATE 5:17: Superior Plating Plant Manager Michael McMonagle told reporter Nicole Norfleet that chromium has somehow leaked into a railroad ditch adjacent to the soon-to-be-closed plant in northeast Minneapolis. The ditch drains to the Mississippi River, but because the chromium is currently frozen, it doesn't pose that hazard, he said. Someone not associated with the plant discovered the spill, he said.
Deputy Fire Chief Harold Breffle said he doesn't know yet how dangerous the chemicals are, because samples still need to be taken.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, chromium is a naturally occurring element that is used in some forms in metal plating and other industrial applications. Based on health assessments that call hexavalent chromium a likely carcinogen, the EPA has proposed tighter limits on the chemical in drinking water.
UPDATE 6:05: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and a private contractor will do an emergency cleanup of the spilled chromium, which extends about two blocks along a railroad track behind Superior Plating. Deputy Fire Chief Harold Breffle told reporter Nicole Norfleet that a resident discovered the spill. Right now, the chromium doesn't pose a hazard because it's frozen, Breffle said. "If it gets dry, or it gets dusty, you can inhale it. It's a cancer causing thing. That's why we're trying to clean up."
All streets have been reopened around Superior Plating, and the trailroad track will briefly reopen to let a train pass through before it's blocked again so cleanup crews can do their work.

Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto, ON, October 17
Leadoff "Muscle'N Flo" infused an aubade with a dash of slowed-down funk, tempering it with incisive guitars and keys before it evolved into a playful stomp, à la Dirty Projectors. Similarly, a key-driven "Plumage" used more low-end than a Chris Nolan trailer, but with admittedly more levity.
Since the departure of key member Brent Knopf before the band's latest record, Moms, Menomena have been a two-man creative partnership. Nevertheless, the touring five-piece effused a socialist leaning, with players sharing various duties, especially on the vocal front.
Thus, the cathartic "Giftshoppe" — all soaring melodies and spaced-out guitars — benefitted from a cohesive, stirring, multi-vocal attack. Ditto "Five Little Rooms": marking one of the evening's major highlights, it was a tonal triumph, full of overt promises yet decorated with disturbingly incessant keys and a scorching six-string.
On the other hand, "Strongest Man in the World" and its melodramatic synths provided the most suspenseful cut of the gig, while "Queen Black Acid" opted instead for a hopefulness the belied its lyrics.
That sonic diversity kept the show largely engrossing, save a handful of minor gaffes. "Capsule" tried out a grating bit of Southern rock that its last-act extraterrestrial keys couldn't save. Also, a sprinting "Baton" traded nuance for easy fireworks.
Still, the missteps were minor and standouts like "Rotten Hell" and "TAOS" overcame occasional stumbles by blending sophisticated arrangements, a healthy dose of sax and plenty of stargazing. A Kermit cameo would have been nice, but that's just picking nits.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.

Miracle Weed Killer
On Facebook, this recipe for a miracle weed killer has been making the rounds, 1gal Vinegar, 2C Epsom Salts / Table Salt, 1/2C Dawn Dish Washing Liquid. Spray on a sunny warm day.
It is touted as being as effective as RoundUp but much safer for the environment. Has anybody actually tried this stuff? I can't find anyone who has. What is the method of killing, is it foliar or does it get the roots too? Do I have to respray or is it a one shot deal? Is there any residual effect on the soil that I should be concerned about? I understand that Vinegar in and of itself will kill plants and that the Dawn is just a surfactant, but what are the Epsom Salts / Salt for?
I have an old Strawberry bed that is infested with thistles that I would love to clear out and replant, and this sounds too good to be true, and you know what they say about that...
Plain vinegar will kill any plant without adding anything else. But thistle is a very tough plant with deep roots that spread underground, and the vinegar will not kill the roots. So it will come back. You can keep killing it, making sure to get every bit of green that emerges, until it gives up the ghost. Without photosynthesis, it will have no way to keep growing.
But the best way to get rid of it is probably to deeply soak the area with water, and using very tough garden gloves, try pulling it out along with as much as the root system as you can get. Thistle will grow back from bits of root left in the ground, so you have to keep on top of it.
For some reason, people love the idea of mixing concoctions of various common things like soap, Epsom salts, salt, oil and vinegar, but it often just makes a mess or hurts the plants you're trying to save. You're right. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I tend to be wary of anything that has "miracle" in the name. That said, I use plain vinegar as a foliar spray to kill weeds, and it works as well as roundup with one benefit being it's a heck of a lot cheaper. As far as thistle, I got better results with pulling them out after a good rain, but if your soil dries out as quickly as mine does in summer, spray some vinegar on the leaves (for more dramatic results, microwave the vinegar so it's hot, but no so hot as to melt the spray bottle). The vinegar will kill the surface plant, and it you're diligent about it you will eventually get less thistle coming up, though nothing will stop the seeds from blowing in...
Maybe we have tougher weeds down here, but in my experience, even drenching both plant and soil with vinegar only kills the visible part of the plant, if that (and not always even that if you use vinegar from the grocery store). It's useless for serious weed control.
You have good instincts, Steve.

Adobe Campaign, the new name for the Neolane marketing automation solution Adobe acquired in June, will no longer be priced on the number of emails sent; instead, Adobe will charge a platform fee plus a fee per customer profile. The new pricing will enable marketers to try new channels without worrying about execution costs, Adobe said in a statement. Adobe did not specify actual pricing, which, the company said, will vary based on a company's size among other factors. The new pricing is expected to be available in January.

Want to upgrade my Nanospeed 6000
Hi guys,
I have actualy a Nanospeed 6000, and I would like to upgrade my racket.
I'm an intermediate player who play mostly double. I have some lack of power with my smash. I prefer light head racket. I use BG80 or BG 66 UM at 21 lbs.
So, my question is what will be a good racket choice to help me to improve my power and not loosing control?
One of my friend want to sell me his Arcsaber 9 fl (I know it's a pinky one, but it doesn't matter for me). Do you think it will be an upgrade compare to my nanosped 6000?
Thanks for your helps and advices.

Such a fun time with this super cute family last weekend!!
workshops are continuing education for photographers – they can help you look outside of your box and allow you to try on someone else's 'eye' for a bit. they are a great way to get re-inspired creatively, and to movtivate you to fine tune your business. this workshop was the best one i have taken so far and i highly recommend it. the amazing husband and wife teams Caroline + Ben and Sarah and Adam of In Tandem were the hosts and we spent 2 days with them as well as a great group of photographers (plus Caroline and Ben's two cats – i will miss you Meat!). thank you Loren and Austin, best models ever. these are some of my favorites from our day of shooting…

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! That close-up of Loren over Austin's shoulder is to die for!!! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!! Thank you for the kind words! It was so great getting to know you.
such a fun road trip/session to Caddo Lake in far east texas with Gina, Stacy (SMS photography), Heather (Eclectic images) and Wendee (Wendee Sawran floral)!! Love this place, and i can't wait to go back – especially because i need to check on my pitbull buddy, Tank – the community dog there… if you go, give him a kiss for me.

Our pets enchant us every day — whether they're curled up and purring in our laps or greeting us with unrivaled enthusiasm at the door.
But in ancient times, some cats and dogs were considered magical in a much more literal sense. From kitties who were once worshipped as gods to canines who were tasked with guarding the underworld, here are 10 breeds whose origins are the stuff of legend.
Alan Robinson, Animal Photography
This breed certainly has an intriguing history — according to legend, the Norwegian Forest Cat pulled the Norse goddess Freya's chariot across the sky.
Sally Anne Thompson, Animal Photography
These pups make excellent watchdogs, so it's no surprise that a three-headed, Mastiff-like canine, known as Cerberus, guarded the entrance to the underworld in Greek mythology.
Tetsu Yamazaki, Animal Photography
Legend has it that the intrepid Russian Blue made his way around the world by riding with the Cossacks and traveling on ships. According to Russian folklore, the adventurous feline also has healing abilities — and brings good luck.
The Shih Tzu is a breed steeped in Buddhist mythology: These little dogs, which were bred by Tibetan monks to resemble lions, were thought to be incarnations of mischievous household gods. Another belief? They carried the souls of lamas who had not yet reached nirvana.
Have you ever noticed that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi appears to sport saddle- or harness-like markings on its back? Based on Welsh folklore, the patterns were a gift from the fairies, who rode the low-slung dogs like horses.
The ancient Egyptians worshipped kitties, like the Egyptian Mau, and elevated them to goddesshood. The breed does possess some rather unique attributes: He is the only domesticated cat with a naturally occurring spotted coat, and he can sprint at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
Believe in ghosts and other creatures who go bump in the night? You may want to have a Shar-Pei by your side — both his purplish tongue and wrinkly skin were thought to ward off evil spirits.
In ancient Mexico, the Xolo was revered for his healing powers, such as helping to cure toothaches, insomnia, rheumatism, arthritis and other ailments. And that's not all — he was also thought to frighten away evil spirits and intruders.
In his native Thailand, the emerald-eyed Korat is a symbol of good luck and fortune. And since selling luck would defeat the purpose, these kitties were only given as gifts.
These sassy pups are known for their nearly obsessive devotion to their owners — even in the afterlife. In ancient Mexico, Chihuahuas were believed to be spirit guides who protected souls as they traveled through the underworld.

So my twins (my only kids) are 9 months and for the most part it has been pretty reasonable this whole time. yeah my house is messier than i wish but i have to say i'm pretty proud that i am pulling this off with no real help or family close by. I'm sure someone will post and tell me that the hard part is still to come? is it?
So i have been really yearning for more kids and i thought i would never be the gal that would say that, 2 was always going to be just right for us. now i keep thinking about having big family dinners and siblings that have each other when they all grow up and have families of their own. and since im 37 and dh is 41 and it took us a long time to get preggo with this set, im starting to worry that if i want more i need to get on it pronto. (im thinking 4)
sooooo..... am i crazy? or more importantly am i doing this for the right reasons, its hard to be objective about the whole thing. Do i just want to be preggo again? i had a great pregnancy for the most part and do miss it. Do i just want to get another chance at the water birth i didn't get to have with twins and the last minute issues?
I can say that i dont think it is just about cute babies, because no matter how much o love these little ones, in my dreams of more kids its actually much older kids and grown children that i think about most, the thought of having 3 or 4 kids in elementary school is actually the scariest part to me. im also pretty terrified that my next one will be really high maintenance. i've dealt with twins, but heck i have not dealt with colic!
so what do you think, am i nuts, deluding myself or just figuring out that i love being a mom? how do i figure out which one it is??
(im EBF and only just started small amounts of solids, so i have no signs of fertility yet, so this is just pondering at this point, but yikes we all know what happens to the ladies that say that around here, wham!)
Your reasons for wanting another child don't have to be "good" enough or anything spectacular, if you still have that feeling go for it. I still really wanted another child after my first two and lots of people didn't understand it. I wasn't supposed to end up with triplets though lol!
Yes! Go for it. I believe siblings are one of the greatest gifts parents can give children. Course, you can see I am definitely pro big family. LOL
When my twins were that age, I really wanted another child. I had been a 2-is-enough person until they were born, I fell madly in love, and knew I had enough love for more. It had taken us 4 years to get pregnant though, so I doubted it would happen. Luckily, (and surprisingly) I got pregnant when they were 3 1/2 and it's been wonderful. It's been great for them to have a younger sister and my dd is the luckiest girl in the world to have such cool older brothers. They're each great to her in different ways. I'm glad for them, also, that they have a sibling who isn't their twin-- sometimes there's a lot of pressure in a twin relationship.
In short-- I don't think you're unreasonable for wanting another one or two children. I think it's a wonderful gift to your children.
i keep wondering if i jut want to be pregnant again and feel special. i mean i know i do, but im wondering if that is clouding my decision making skills. its good to hear from chaimom, it seems like i only know folks that either knew they were always going to have a lot of kids or think that its crazy too. It took us a long time to get pregnant also, including a deployment to Iraq in the middle of things. So the thought of wanting more comes with that cloud. but i am also in way better health after this last pregnancy, im nearly 30 pounds below my pre pregnancy weight and i think this has really changed my insulin issues. I feel great, sometimes i think i have more energy now than before the babies!
but i worry that im getting too old and that there is too instability in our finances, specially if i am too busy with kids to work. i know there are always folks that say that these things dont matter, but i really feel they do. and i feel like i would be rushing to beat the clock, specially if i wanted a even number, im not really comfortable being aggressive and going with most fertility treatments, heck i already had twins. of course i dont even have my cycle right now, though this last week i felt some strong O pains, so who knows, we are starting solid food these past few days. but i do assume that once i get my cycle back that it will be a lot better than before since my weight has gotten so great.
oh so much to think about, thanks for letting me ramble
Nope, I actually got pregnant when my twins were 7 months old. It was crazy for a while, but it's so amazing also. I still want more and I hav 4 :). I say if you want another baby, go for it!
I also agree that siblings is a great source of joy for family. I got pregnant the second time when the boys were about 18 months. I was weaning and I didn't even know that my fertility had returned, so I didn't actually realize I was pregnant until I was about 10 weeks along. This time, we waited a little bit longer mostly for financial issues but also because our daughter has some mild special needs so we felt like we could only really deal with a certain amount of chaos. I always wanted another one, but DH wanted to wait. I suppose the powers that be agreed with me because I find myself pregnant with our fourth. We weren't trying at all, it just happened. I think that if you feel it is time to add to your family, then the time is right for you :-)

Deck sealing and staining
We sanded our 20 year old pressure treated deck down to the bare wood. We plan to use twp1500 semitransparent oil based stain. We may not be able to stain it for about 2 weeks to a month. I was told that we should use a sealer in the interim to avoid having damage to the wood. I think a sealer might prevent the stain from penetrating. Would one month of unprotected , 20 old p t wood get damaged? Can I leave it alone until we stain? The railings are 10 months old new p t wood and we want to stain those first.
The risk you run is that the hot summer sun will start to gray the decking before you get a chance to stain it. Here's an example of my garapa deck, where the stairs went in 3 weeks after the main decking.
We ended up resanding the whole thing right before we stained it.
Got it. No bleach. Another question. Is there any reason to use a cleaner and brightener of the deck floor before staining since it has been sanded at least 2mm? It is OK to hose it with water instead and let it dry for 48 hours? It is CCA wood that is about 20 years old. I called TWP and they advised using a cleaner and brightener on the deck floor before staining even though I told them it had been sanded. I thought cleaners and brighteners on CCA wood was not a good idea. It is bad enough we had to sand it! What would the next step be before staining?
CaptRandy, Thanks so much for all the tips! Do we need both a cleaner and a brightener or can we use just a brightener? Are the combination products, cleaner/brightener good?
We are using a stripper to get rid of the remaining white solid stain, as you suggested. It is woring but we have to power wash to remove the softened paint.

Antique Bisque Dolls
When bisque dolls began appearing in France during the 1850s, their matte finish offered a trendy, realistic alternative to the glossy china dolls popular at the time. Though both were made from porcelain, collectors refer to unglazed tinted dolls as bisque and shiny glazed dolls as china, while the term porcelain is often reserved for contemporary dolls.
Most bisque dolls were manufactured in France or the Thuringia region of Germany, an area famous for its natural clay deposits. Successful German firms like Kämmer & Reinhardt, Kestner, Heubach Koppelsdorf, and Simon & Halbig competed with French producers such as Bru Jne, Jumeau, Huret, and Steiner.
Early bisque doll heads were pressed into molds by hand, but eventually, this thick clay paste was improved with a thinner, pourable slip that resulted in a smoother surface texture and more intricate detailing. Most items had a mold number marked into the interior portion of the head, and sometimes a company name was stamped on the head or chest, too.
Bisque dolls were generally fired once, then painted to create skin tones and facial features, and finally fired again. These dolls are sometimes referred to as "blonde bisque" as they were typically produced with a light blonde shade of molded hair. However, a smaller segment of bisque products, called Parian dolls, were made from unpainted white porcelain. The first Parian mixture was developed in the late 1850s, possibly by John Mountford of the Copeland & Garrett company (later known as Spode).
Also called stone china, statuary porcelain, or carrara, Parian became fashionable for its similarity to expensive white marble: When finished, Parian dolls have a silky smooth surface and are semi-translucent. Most Parian doll heads were manufactured in Germany, and their porcelain parts were mounted onto cotton or leather bodies filled with fabric and sawdust. These expensive dolls were often purchased to decorate adult drawing rooms, rather than as playthings for children.
Though Parian dolls had a brief moment of success alongside tinted bisque, their popularity declined in the 1880s. Meanwhile, the market for skin-toned bisque dolls continued to boom, in part because of their heightened realism.
Bisque figures fall into three types—adult fashion dolls, bébé or baby dolls, and character dolls, which imitated a certain costume or personality. The most common bisque dolls f...
The first bisque dolls came with molded hair, eyes, and mouths, but eventually incorporated glass eyes that opened and closed, complex wigs made from human or animal hair, and even inset teeth. While some bisque heads and limbs came already attached to a stuffed cloth body, often the finest porcelain parts were sold separately for home assembly. These ornate heads were made with small holes below the neckline so they could be hand sewn onto bodies made from fabric, leather, composition, or wood. On some Parian busts, the careful treatment of the shoulders and neckline suggests that these were actually packaged as decorative art objects to display in the home, for these details would have been obscured if a doll was fully assembled and clothed.
Originally, the most intricate heads were produced in Germany and shipped for sale in France and the United States, though toward the end of the 19th century, French companies began manufacturing their own detailed heads to match their dolls' ornate accessories. Many of the most innovative design advancements also occurred in France, like Ainé Blampoix's patent for applying glass eyes or Mlle Huret's swivel neck that made heads easy to tilt and turn.
Besides their delicate facial features, doll heads were lavished with decorative touches, including miniature flowers, combs, feathers, lace, and jewels. In keeping with prevailing trends of the Victorian era, the most exquisite bisque dolls came with elaborately styled wigs of real hair pinned to a cork pate, or pierced ears with tiny glass earrings. Other dolls were made with carefully painted feet, sometimes covered in patterned stockings or trendy leather boots.
In Paris, the Passage Choiseul became the locus of doll fashion, where milliners, wig-makers, corset and dress designers, and cobblers all produced exquisitely detailed accoutrements. Known as "fashion dolls" or "Parisiennes," the bisque dolls assembled here wore elaborate outfits mirroring current trends. These dolls also acted as miniature mannequins, which could be exported abroad so that affluent women could keep abreast of clothing styles in France.
Despite the prevailing belief that fashion dolls were only for adult women, the introduction of doll advertising and display stands aimed directly at children suggests that many of these high-priced bisque dolls were actually meant for kids, albeit very wealthy ones.
In the late 19th century, the first significant numbers of male dolls were also made with bisque. These included the small, six-inch versions used as butlers in doll houses, but also larger varieties imitating elegantly dressed gentlemen in fanciful foreign costumes. Because these figures typically utilized the same molds and patterns as female dolls, it was easier to disguise them as young boys rather than men, whose rounded faces more closely resembled a female doll.
In the early 20th century, bisque was gradually replaced by a variety of other materials, like composition and plastic, as the baby-doll fad dominated the market. During the 1970s and '80s, a revival of interest in classic bisque designs inspired many expensive reproductions aimed at adult doll collectors. Today, typically the most desirable antique bisque dolls are the early products of reputable French companies like Jumeau, Bru, and Huret, or German-made character dolls.

No direction on how to learn new material, tend to be focused on the amount of time traveling and management can become very concerned if you do not get high reviews from customers. However, they do not teach you have to improve leave this up to your own accord.Advice to ManagementAdvice
