Whether he's throwing a football in the state playoffs or sprinting the 100-meter dash, Braeden Horton's competitive nature won't let him give anything but all he's got. Horton is a member of three sprint relay teams for Hotchkiss, including the 1600-meter team that is all but guaranteed a trip to this year's 3A state track meet.
He's giving his all, despite the fact he won't get to the state meet.
"There's an international science fair that I'm going to be competing at the same week as state," said Horton after competing in Saturday's 100m dash. "It's kind of bad timing on that, but I got selected to compete, so I'm going there."
Horton along with Vikash Hypio, Beth Wood and Nikki Buhrdorf qualified for the International Science and Engineering Fair, scheduled for May 13-18, although Hypio has elected to run at state. Girls tennis team manager Brydie Mitchell also qualified.
In relays, the team qualifies for state, not the individuals, but Horton will continue to compete with the team through the league meet. He's still working hard and doing "the little things" to get his team to state. "It's a competition, so of course I'm taking it seriously," said Horton, a four-year veteran for the Bulldogs football team.
This is Horton's second season to run track. His freshman and junior years he made a daily, three-hour commute to play lacrosse for Grand Junction High School. "It was a lot of driving," said Horton, whose dad, Douglas, is the athletics director at Hotchkiss High School. "Lacrosse is a really fun sport. It's kind of unique and not really well-known in Colorado."
This year, he opted to stay off the highway. "I wanted to play lacrosse, but the time to drive down there is a little bit too much," said Horton.
Horton said his biggest accomplishment in sports was in making it to the 3A semifinals in football two years in a row, including his senior year at starting quarterback. "I've been on great teams four years in a row," he said.
With just two weeks of school remaining, he's busy focusing on track and the science fair, "So it really hasn't hit me yet, but I'm sure that it will in the next couple of weeks."
Horton plans to study economics and play football at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, an NCAA Division III school. Horton will most likely play at receiver or defensive back.
He also has family in Grinnell and stayed with them while visiting. "I just kind of fell in love with it," he said. "It just seemed like the right fit."
This summer he plans to continue training, and "just try to enjoy it a little bit before I have to head out in August."

hey guys this is my first post here, was just after some advice, best give you the details first.
im 75kg, 12 stone, and have a 6"6 adams board, looks like a shortboard im not sure. ive been surfing for a month now and am picking up the basics fairly quick, ive done years of snowboarding and skating but this seems to be a whole new thing for me.
im getting out to the reasonable sized waves in newquay, about 4-8ft and dont mind throwing myself at them, best way to learn i feel. now in a good 5 hour session i might catch maybe 3-5 waves proper but find i can only stand up after the wave has broken, when i try to stand on the top of the wave i either slow right down and it passes over me or i have to grip for dear life until the white wash evens out and i can stand then.
i have read a lot of tips and i feel like im positioned correct, i practise the motion of getting to my feet when im at home and its easy, but whern im out on the wave, things just dont work and i cant seem to catch much. the wave seems to be picking me up right and the waves i get right i seem to be in the correct place, its just i cant seem to get up on the board fast enough to head down the wave or for my feet to be in the right position to control it. any tips will be really helpful and im sorry for posting this. cheers. murph.

I had a couple questions for everyone.
1. Did anyone ever go watch the Portland Fire when they were around? I went to one game and it was not a very comfortable feeling, felt totally out of place.
2. Does anyone miss the WNBA in Portland? I hated my experience at the one game I went too and found virtually no interest in watching their games on tv.
3. This one is a little more philosophical, if someone was born a man but elected for gender reassignment surgery would the WNBA allow said person to play in the league?
I would like to believe that the league would allow the person to play but the question gets more complicated the more you think about it. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/psychiatry-expert-scientifically-there-is-no-such-thing-as-transgender/ That article suggests there is no such thing as a transgender person, which means the WNBA would have to willingly allow men to play, which could allow the WNBA to essentially turn into the NBA D-league. However if they denied him entry what kind of message would this send to the LBGT community, which is by an large a huge supporter of the WNBA.
4. Lastly, how much longer do you give the WNBA? Before Griner I would have suggested about 3 years, but with her/him I have pushed that out to about 8.
The winner for best Adam's Apple goes to Brittney Griner, can she bring home the ROY as well. MAN I hope so.
Posted 05/31/2013 6:33 PM
1. Never went and probably would not go.
2. I barely can stand men's college basketball and the WNBA is so much more boring that I would never like them to return.
3. First trannies, then cross dressers, then actual men seems like the fear but if it makes the sport better why not.
4. I would say the WNBA will last as long as the NBA keeps paying their bills.

Hot, yes. Spokesperson, don't care.
Posted 06/01/2013 12:01 PM
I do not care either but do you think the WNBA rep is so bad that not even someone as attractive as Elena Della Donne could help draw in more fans.
What about Lauren Jackson

The NBA has not failed to make a profit since it was announced that league makes money they WNBA has lost money every year so obviously the games themselves are not enough draw. That is why I suggested they use their sex appeal those that have it anyway to promote the league.

Yeah I agree with Chloe on this. Did you guys know there's like a women's football league where they basically play American Football in bikinis? Seriously. Who is gonna watch it for the sport?

I can hardly sit through the wrestling now that I know it's fake, but all that drama and talking and stuff irritates me. I remember watching RvD and Kofi Kingston. They were my favourites. CM Punk was decent too, but I don't follow anymore. And I don't really watch much movies, more of a TV Show guy. Difference is we watch movies and tv to see stories. If we want to watch fighting, we could just watch boxing. Pacquiao man myself.
Posted 06/02/2013 11:23 AM
I agree with article in some aspects. Namely you can't become the opposite sex through surgery since the ability to bare children is a major part of being a woman and a man who becomes a woman cannot get pregnant. Vice versa for a woman who becomes a man. I also think a significant number of people who go through with sex changes are depressed, delusional or worse at times and surgery does not seem like a good way to treat serious medical issues.
Of course the traditional method of dealing with depression is not any good either which is drugging someone so it is a difficult situation. If it makes people happier then let them have the sex change if they want.
However, in my opinion a man becoming a woman should be prohibited from participating in advanced sports, such as college, WNBA, Olympics or other professional woman's league because it gives them an unfair genetic advantage.

He meant have the basic requirements like a womb. I think it's weird if a normal guy turns himself into a woman. I can understand if a transsexual does, maybe out of pressure or something I dunno.
And yeah we know TV shows aren't real. Who said anything about being macho? Wrestling is basically a different style of fighting. I like boxing because it is an entertaining sport and it takes a lot more skill than some other sports (MMA). I hate MMA. I just don't like all the drama and those annoying speeches and those women who attached themselves to men, and the amount of duos and all that. =

And devil's advocate here, Chloe firstly you're not showing your face in your photo, and secondly we don't even know if that photo is of you. We know Siccolo is real because he had like two pictures of himself. Riverman and Sug81 put up pics of their faces.

Chloe it is not so funny when someone makes assumptions about you or something you believe in is it.
Furthermore, I never judged anyone, I said I think a significant number of people who have sex changes are depressed, delusional or worse off. I do not know how many people it is and neither do you. I also said I do not believe that surgery is a good treatment for someone suffering from delusions or severe depression. That statement applies to a lot more cases than just gender reassignment. For example people with eating disorders who get lipo even when it is not needed and much more.
As far as what makes a woman ripcity got my intentions correct, men who become women do not possess the equipment to make children, namely ovaries, and a womb. There is a big difference between faulty equipment and never having the proper equipment to begin with.
However, the whole point of my argument was that specifically that men who become women should not be permitted to participate in woman's leagues because of the genetic advantages men possess. Just imagine someone like Lebron James having gender reassignment surgery then playing in the WNBA his strength size and speed would absolutely destroy everyone in that league. It is the same reason I am uncomfortable with Fallon Fox competing in the UFC women's division.

Posted 06/02/2013 1:37 PM
I agree 100% with Cmeese (God that sounded weird). If a man has a sex change operation, he should not be allowed to play in the NBA. I don't follow UFC or anything, but that Fallon Fox chick, or not, makes me look like a pre teen girl.
And so what if she has more fat? Look at Big Baby. He's fat as hell and probably has bigger breasts. Should we make him play in the WNBA as well? (No offence Glen Davis, I genuinely like your game and that you bodyslammed Shaq when you were a kid).
Posted 06/02/2013 1:52 PM
So no transgender person is depressed or delusional and none are contemplating suicide, which qualifies as worse off? That is just naive, I suggested a significant portion, but never put a number on it, is 10% of people having an unneeded surgery significant, what about 5% or even 3%.
Fallon Fox matured as a man before starting estrogen treatment meaning she has a high propensity to build and maintain muscle because she was a fully developed man that is a fact. Also it takes about 15 years for bone density to equal out between a man and a woman 8 years is not enough time which gives her a distinct advantage especially since estrogen is what produces bone density to begin with. Most other factors put her on par with an average woman but those two major advantages should be enough to debate her participation.
Posted 06/02/2013 2:16 PM
Posted 06/02/2013 2:27 PM
Not an expert at all but I do know how to read and their have been plenty of medical reports release on Fallon Fox to suggest she has a physical advantage. Not to mention the potential mental advantage she gains just from other women feeling at a disadvantage because they were never men.
Now my grandpa he fixed trannies for 20 years he was an expert, so if anyone needs a transmission issue looked at let me know.
But quite honestly I do not care if they WNBA had gorillas on the court something anything has to be done to make that game more enjoyable to watch.
Posted 06/02/2013 2:52 PM
You an expert at drinking beer cmeese but about transsexualism not even close.
Grandpa fixed trannies for 25 years but that was a bad joke.
At Chloe most men are fully mature by the age of 22 so to have someone start hormone therapy then and at Lebron's age is basically the same thing developmentally.
Also agreed about the WNBA being boring last fun thing I think remember seeing was all those fans making fun Diana Taurasi after her DUI.

Help with synth patch
Hi ,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this patch I've been working on - see link below. I like the sound I've got at the minute but would like it to be a bit more smother. I'm not sure how to do this; I've tried using various compressing and EQing but doesn't seem to make much difference. I would also like it to sound as full as possible and to get the Malstrom and Sub Tractor more coherent together. If anyone could play about with it and let me have a revised version saying exactly what they have done I'll be very grateful. I've looked on youtube and I am currently studying a reason course but do not yet have enough understanding of Reason to get it to sound exactly how I want. I'm aiming for something similar to the synth on the into to the Foster the People song Helena Beat. http://www.mediafire.com/?bqktrl77t7i977k |

Systems thinking
A system is composed of interrelated parts or components (structures) that cooperate in processes (behavior). Natural systems include biological entities, ocean currents, the climate, the solar system and ecosystems. Designed systems include airplanes, software systems, technologies and machines of all kinds, government agencies and business systems.
Systems Thinking has at least some roots in the General System Theory that was advanced by Ludwig von Bertalanffy in the 1940s and furthered by Ross Ashby in the 1950s. The term Systems Thinking is sometimes used as a broad catch-all heading for the process of understanding how systems behave, interact with their environment and influence each other. The term is also used more narrowly as a heading for thinking about social organisations, be they natural or designed, healthy or unhealthy. Often the focus is on a government or business organisation that is viewed as containing people, processes and technologies.
Systems thinking has been defined as an approach to problem solving, [this is not a definition of systems thinking, it is an application of systems thinking] by viewing "problems" as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific parts, outcomes or events and potentially contributing to further development of unintended consequences. Systems thinking is not one thing but a set of habits or practices[2] within a framework that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system can best be understood in the context of relationships with each other and with other systems, rather than in isolation. Systems thinking focuses on cyclical rather than linear cause and effect.
In systems science, it is argued that the only way to fully understand why a problem or element occurs and persists is to understand the parts in relation to the whole.[3] Standing in contrast to Descartes's scientific reductionism and philosophical analysis, it proposes to view systems in a holistic manner. Consistent with systems philosophy, systems thinking concerns an understanding of a system by examining the linkages and interactions between the elements that compose the entirety of the system.
Systems science thinking attempts to illustrate how small catalytic events that are separated by distance and time can be the cause of significant changes in complex systems. Acknowledging that an improvement in one area of a system can adversely affect another area of the system, it promotes organizational communication at all levels in order to avoid the silo effect. Systems thinking techniques may be used to study any kind of system — physical, biological, social, scientific, engineered, human, or conceptual.
The concept of a system[edit]
The several ways to think of and define a system include:
- A system is composed of parts.
- All the parts of a system must be related (directly or indirectly), else there are really two or more distinct systems
- A system is encapsulated, has a boundary.
- The boundary of a system is a decision made by an observer, or a group of observers.
- A system can be nested inside another system.
- A system can overlap with another system.
- A system is bounded in time.
- A system is bounded in space, though the parts are not necessarily co-located.
- A system receives input from, and sends output into, the wider environment.
- A system consists of processes that transform inputs into outputs.
- A system is autonomous in fulfilling its purpose. (Car is not a system. Car with a driver is a system.)
Systems science thinkers consider that:
- a system is a dynamic and complex whole, interacting as a structured functional unit;
- energy, material and information flow among the different elements that compose the system;
- a system is a community situated within an environment;
- energy, material and information flow from and to the surrounding environment via semi-permeable membranes or boundaries;
- systems are often composed of entities seeking equilibrium but can exhibit oscillating, chaotic, or exponential behavior.
A holistic system is any set (group) of interdependent or temporally interacting parts. Parts are generally systems themselves and are composed of other parts, just as systems are generally parts or holons of other systems.
Systems science and the application of systems science thinking has been grouped into three categories based on the techniques used to tackle a system:
- Hard systems — involving simulations, often using computers and the techniques of operations research/management science. Useful for problems that can justifiably be quantified. However it cannot easily take into account unquantifiable variables (opinions, culture, politics, etc.)[citation needed], and may treat people as being passive, rather than having complex motivations.
- Soft systems — For systems that cannot easily be quantified, especially those involving people holding multiple and conflicting frames of reference. Useful for understanding motivations, viewpoints, and interactions and addressing qualitative as well as quantitative dimensions of problem situations. Soft systems are a field that utilizes foundation methodological work developed by Peter Checkland, Brian Wilson and their colleagues at Lancaster University. Morphological analysis is a complementary method for structuring and analysing non-quantifiable problem complexes.
- Evolutionary systems — Béla H. Bánáthy developed a methodology that is applicable to the design of complex social systems. This technique integrates critical systems inquiry with soft systems methodologies. Evolutionary systems, similar to dynamic systems are understood as open, complex systems, but with the capacity to evolve over time. Bánáthy uniquely integrated the interdisciplinary perspectives of systems research (including chaos, complexity, cybernetics), cultural anthropology, evolutionary theory, and others.
The systems approach[edit]
This section is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (February 2012) |
The systems thinking approach incorporates several tenets:[4]
- Interdependence of objects and their attributes - independent elements can never constitute a system
- Holism - emergent properties not possible to detect by analysis should be possible to define by a holistic approach
- Goal seeking - systemic interaction must result in some goal or final state
- Inputs and Outputs - in a closed system inputs are determined once and constant; in an open system additional inputs are admitted from the environment
- Transformation of inputs into outputs - this is the process by which the goals are obtained
- Entropy - the amount of disorder or randomness present in any system
- Regulation - a method of feedback is necessary for the system to operate predictably
- Hierarchy - complex wholes are made up of smaller subsystems
- Differentiation - specialized units perform specialized functions
- Equifinality - alternative ways of attaining the same objectives (convergence)
- Multifinality - attaining alternative objectives from the same inputs (divergence)
A treatise on systems thinking ought to address many issues including:
- Encapsulation of a system in space and/or in time
- Active and passive systems (or structures)
- Transformation by an activity system of inputs into outputs
- Persistent and transient systems
- Evolution, the effects of time passing, the life histories of systems and their parts.
- Design and designers.
Some examples:
- Rather than trying to improve the braking system on a car by looking in great detail at the material composition of the brake pads (reductionist), the boundary of the braking system may be extended to include the interactions between the:
- brake disks or drums
- brake pedal sensors
- hydraulics
- driver reaction time
- tires
- road conditions
- weather conditions
- time of day
- Using the tenet of "Multifinality", a supermarket could be considered to be:
- a "profit making system" from the perspective of management and owners
- a "distribution system" from the perspective of the suppliers
- an "employment system" from the perspective of employees
- a "materials supply system" from the perspective of customers
- an "entertainment system" from the perspective of loiterers
- a "social system" from the perspective of local residents
- a "dating system" from the perspective of single customers
As a result of such thinking, new insights may be gained into how the supermarket works, why it has problems, how it can be improved or how changes made to one component of the system may impact the other components.
This section may contain excessive, poor, or irrelevant examples. (March 2013) |
Systems science thinking is increasingly being used to tackle a wide variety of subjects in fields such as computing, engineering, epidemiology, information science, health, manufacture, management, sustainable development, and the environment. Professor Rajagopal, EGADE Business School, building on the work of Ferdinand Tönnies has suggested the application of systems thinking in developing marketing strategy from the perspectives of corporate business restructuring in the post-economic recession situations.[5]
Some examples:
- Urban planning
- Organizational architecture
- Job design
- Team Population and Work Unit Design
- Linear and Complex Process Design
- The Limits to Growth
- System design
- Business continuity planning with FMEA protocol
- Critical Infrastructure Protection via FBI Infragard
- Delphi method — developed by RAND for USAF
- Futures studies — Thought leadership mentoring
- The public sector including examples at The Systems Thinking Review[6]

Streamline your laundry
Your laundry room is probably one of the most-used spaces in your home, yet it's probably one of the most inefficient areas. With these five quick laundry room updates, you can easily make your laundry room more efficient. make your laundry room more efficient1
Co-locate related tasks -- and remove the restOne of the quickest updates you can make in your laundry room is to group tasks that are alike and remove ones that aren't. For example, if you keep your ironing basket in your bedroom closet, move it to the laundry room. If your husband has a box of random hardware stashed in the corner, ask him to relocate it to a more appropriate place. Keep your laundry room and all its contents focused on one thing: Laundry. 2
Spruce up the decorWhile your household design dollars probably aren't going to decorating your laundry room, a bright can of paint can go a long way to making your laundry room more inviting. Choose your favorite bright or light color, especially if your laundry area is in a dark basement. Use paint with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and add a couple drops of vanilla to the paint can before you stir it up to eliminate the paint smell -- and keep it off of your fresh, clean clothes. Finish decorating with a cushy rug. Not only will your laundry room look better, but a cushioned rug will help absorb the shock of standing on hard tile or concrete floors. 3
Upgrade the storageLaundry rooms attract clutter: Bottles, dryer sheets, lint tufts and piles of clothes waiting to be washed, folder or ironed. Contain the clutter with updated storage. Plastic-coated wire shelving units, which are inexpensive to buy at most hardware or home improvement stores, can be installed throughout your space to corral and separate items. 4
Become energy-efficientWhether you're planning on a big update with energy-efficient appliances or you want to make a few small upgrades, you can quickly make your laundry room more energy-efficient -- and save yourself money. Clean out your dryer's ventilation system, including a good scrub of the lint trap. Check to make sure there aren't any holes that need to be repaired. Tighten the hose connected to your washing machine. Check for water spots to make sure nothing is leaking. Switch out the lighting to compact fluorescent bulbs (CFCs). These minor tweaks won't cost much, but they will save you money! 5
Update your washing machineFront-loading washers tend to clean better and operate more efficiently than their top-loading counterparts. The LG TurboWash washer with Steam technology takes efficiency to another level by saving you 20 minutes on larger loads. Plus, if you're short on space or your laundry room is more like a laundry closet, a front-loading washer allows you to stack your washer and dryer, saving several feet of space.

Wow,This lamp actually erased the mercilous sinus/migraine headaches I'd been suffering,when nothing else would!Honestly,I did not at all believe in the alledged beneficial properties it might provide.I bought it bcz it was different,& it had lighting akin to candlelight.So a day & a half of having it plugged in my room,I felt 100% better!I do not know how,the tiny bulb cannot possibly emit enough heat to be beneficial,yet somehow it is.More light than a nightlight,enough for me to read comfortably by w/out disturbing others sleep.Depending on the thickness of the salt wall facing out is how much light it will provide.
I'd originally purchased a lamp for my daughter to use in her massage therapy room as I thought it would give off a nice gentle glow. She loved it and when I saw it for myself I had to order one for myself. Actually, I liked it so much that I ordered one for each of my other children. I'm not sure about the health benefits but the lamp gives off the most beautiful ambient glow. Each lamp is unique and has a slightly different shape and color. Some were very orange when lit whereas others were lighter and gave off more of a yellowy-peach tone but all were beautiful. The dimmer switch is perfect as it allows for more lighting control. I turn it way down and keep it lit all night long and gives off the most perfect subtle glow. The only negative is that some of the bases were perfectly level but there were a couple that weren't quite level and rocked a bit. That little annoyance aside, I'd definitely recommend this to others.
I was hesitant to purchase this lamp because of the health benefits. It's hard for me to believe a light could help with things like headaches and insomnia etc. But I took a chance and purchased the lamp and I absolutely love it! I have two now on each side of my bed, and after just a few nights I felt a huge difference. The brightness of the light changes(not sure how or why) but it is consistently a relaxing hue. The orange color fits the decor and creates a soft glow at night. I have less allergies in the morning and sleep more sound. I like the warmth it brings to my bedroom and have already purchased more for family and friends.
I specifically ordered these to see if they would help in calming my pets during storms with thunder and lightening. They have worked wonderfully since my pets no longer get too concerned during the storm. These are also great night lights giving off a very warm glow. I have reordered some more of these for some friends who saw mine and wanted one for their home. These lamps have also helped in keeping my home fresh smelling. Looks as if I am completely sold on these!
Because these are natural products the color of the salt may vary but each one is unique. I like the light they provide and leave them on 24/7. I use them as night lights and they make getting around in the house at night safer. The plus is the mellowatmosphere they provide.
Love this item. We like the switch cause can go from dim to quite light easly. We think it works my husband isn't snoring much anymore (he used to every nigh) the glow makes ther room feel warmer. Great purvchase for us
I must applaud Overstock for their prompt action for this gift that I sent. They immediately sent a replacement for the defective lamp. I will continue to order from them with complete confidence. They have my vote for best online shopping!
Very disappointed that I ordered one lamp and received it and had to send back as it did not work. Then asked for a replacement and received that lamp that also did not work. (light did not light up). I even both new bulbs and tried on both and still no light. Had to send second back and finally did not ask for replacement.
I love the soft amber glow of this lamp. It is a great size for the price, and I love the rough shape of the salt crystal. My favorite part is that is has a dimmer on the cord. You can dim it down to be a nightlight! Im thinking about buying another!
Was just a little bit more, price wise. But it was very well made and was a nice size and weight.

N remains in soil, leaks toward groundwater for decades
Nitrogen fertilizer applied to crops lingers in the soil and leaks out as nitrate for decades toward groundwater – "much longer than previously thought," scientists in France and at the University of Calgary say in a new study.
Thirty years after synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer had been applied to crops in 1982, about 15 percent of the fertilizer N still remained in soil organic matter, the scientists found.
After three decades, approximately 10 percent of the fertilizer N had seeped through the soil toward the groundwater and will continue to leak in low amounts for at least another 50 years.
The study was led by researcher Mathieu Sebilo at the Université Pierre et Marie Currie in Paris, France, and by Bernhard Mayer in the U of C's Department of Geoscience, and included several research organizations in France.
Their paper, "Long-term fate of nitrate fertilizer in agricultural soils," was published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
The findings show that losses of fertilizer N toward the groundwater occur at low rates but over many decades, says Mayer, U of C professor of geochemistry and head of the Applied Geochemistry Group.
That means it could take longer than previously thought to reduce nitrate contamination in groundwater, including in aquifers that supply drinking water in North America and elsewhere, he says.
"There's a lot of fertilizer nitrogen that has accumulated in agricultural soils over the last few decades which will continue to leak as nitrate toward groundwater," Mayer says.
Canada and the U.S. regulate the amount of nitrate allowed in drinking water. In the 1980s, surveys by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey showed that nitrate contamination had probably impacted more public and domestic water supply wells in the U.S. than any other contaminant.
Mayer is an internationally recognized expert in the use of stable isotopes to track contaminants in the environment.
The French-U of C study is the first that tracks, using stable isotope "fingerprinting," the fate of fertilizer N remaining in the soil zone over several decades.
The research team used a stable isotope of nitrogen, N-15, as a tracer to track fertilizer nitrogen applied in 1982 to sugar beet and winter wheat crops on a pair of two-metre-square plots at a site in France.
Over the 30-year study, the researchers measured the amount of N-15 labelled fertilizer N taken up by plants and they quantified the amount of fertilizer N remaining in the soil.

Is it fair to assume that the N-15 in this study has been cycling through the normal chemical, physical, and biological processes in the soil as a part of the overall N pool over the 30 years of the study, and not necessarily remaining as nitrate? That means that it may remain in other forms for part of the time and is re- released as nitrate at various times....extending its time in the overall N pool in the soil. In such case, it is not fair to say that it is slowly moving down the profile as nitrate-N. It may be "pausing" for a while in other N forms, then returning to nitrate as these processes work through their cycles. N is the soil is in a constant dynamic state of flux. In fact, the prediction that some of the N-15 may still be moving down the profile after a century may be short-sighted...it could be longer.

Secret hotspots are the Holy Grails of fishing. No matter what species you seek, finding a fish-producing piece of water and having it all to yourself is nothing short of divine. Unfortunately, locating even one—let alone a milk run—of overlooked honeyholes is a major challenge.
The traditional approach involves sonar, paper hydrographic maps and, more recently, the use of digital contour maps displayed on a GPS screen. To be sure, these are all helpful tools of the exploratory trade—but another source of information can make your quest easier.
Aerial Surveillance
The best way to survey the subtle, often hidden, structure that lies beneath the surface of your favorite lake or river would be to drain it, capture a three-dimensional image of the bottom, then refill it with water. Since this isn't really an option, let's look at the alternative: aerial photos.
Photographs taken by government satellites and aircraft offer an amazing view of lakes that few anglers ever see, or analyze, in detail. From the air, it's easy to spot key fish-holding cover and structure that standard hydrographic maps might miss. Studying a map is also an extremely fast and efficient means of locating prime fishing areas that could take countless hours to find on the water with traditional search techniques like sonar or bottom-bumping presentations.
Aerial imagery is especially helpful with fluctuating reservoirs, newly flooded impoundments and clear lakes. Whether you're fishing bass in Southern or Western impoundments, 'eyes up North, or virtually any species anywhere in between, chances are aerial maps can open your eyes to new, exciting areas.
As we all know, reservoir levels are variable depending on drought, precipitation and flood-control drawdowns. Aerial photos taken during low-water periods can show points, old roadbeds, ditches, stock ponds, offshore humps and more. Some of my highest-resolution aerial images even show spots-on-the-spot, like boulders on points and piles of driftwood lying along the sharp edges of a flooded shoreline.
Similarly, in the case of newly flooded lakes, you can draw upon archives of old aerial photos, shot before the water level rose, to get an intimate feel for the lay of the land.
Good aerial photos of clear lakes are harder to find, chiefly because they aren't taken under ideal conditions for fishing purposes. Those of peak quality are often taken on a calm day in spring, before algae growth clouds the picture. Finding helpful images is possible, though, if you focus on photos taken early in the season.
Even though the structure and cover is under water, if the clarity is good enough, you can spot hidden treasures like offshore humps, bars and weed-beds that frequently don't show up on standard hydrographic maps produced by state fish and game departments. Often, these maps—many of which were produced decades ago using rudimentary sonar systems—are the basis for the relatively generic lake maps sold in bait shops.
It's worth noting that high-definition contour maps of select lakes are available on paper maps and electronic data cards from sources like LakeMaster and Navionics. Created using sophisticated sonar arrays and GPS mapping systems, these wonder-charts are light years ahead of older hydrographic maps, and can reveal many of a lake's overlooked hotspots. Where such maps are an option, use them. But even then, aerial photos are an added source of information that can expose secrets high-definition maps may miss.
Get The Picture
Right now you're probably wondering where you can get aerial maps of your favorite waters, and how hard it is to transform the locations you discover into useful waypoints on your own GPS.
Fortunately, obtaining maps and incorporating them into your fishing game plan is relatively easy. There are a number of sources of maps (see Web Extra). Warren Parsons Maps is my personal choice for digital aerial photos, because the company's maps are formatted to display using Fugawi software.
If you've never heard of Fugawi, it's a revolutionary navigational system that uses GPS data to help you create accurate digital maps from any scanned map, map database or aerial image. Using a computer at home or onboard, you can position waypoints and routes on the map with the click of the mouse, then upload them to your GPS receiver using a simple SD data card.
Fugawi is compatible with most Garmin, Lowrance/Eagle, Magellan and Micrologic receivers (check with the chartplotter manufacturer or Fugawi before ordering).
The beauty of this technology is you can mark GPS coordinates of potential hotspots you see on your scanned map, plug them into your chartplotter, and motor right to them on the water.
Exploring new fishing areas couldn't be faster. As a bonus, when you're done fishing you can download new waypoints, routes and tracks from your GPS unit or chartplotter to the scanned map in the computer, then analyze them at leisure on shore—even build your own database.
Chart Your Course
In the end, charting an entire lake should be left to mapping companies because of the time and expense. It's tough to compete with their high-end sonar arrays for covering a lot of water.
But using aerial maps to pinpoint prime fishing areas is a great way to find key areas even the best of maps can sometimes miss. You can also scout lakes that have not seen high-definition mapping coverage. Either way, no matter where I fish, I always find something new and exciting.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
The crappie is sportfishing's undisputed King of Spring. Here's where to find 'em shallow in the spawning season, and when.
NAFC staff and members have caught some big walleyes over the years—some even on video—but this trophy walleye video courtesy of PK Lures—takes top honors. The quantity and quality of fish caught during this segment is astounding. You've got to see it for yourself!

this game is a very nice RPG and very hard too. btw I can never get past baron brixas...brixus....whatever :I
This game is amazing. It's long, which is unusual for a flash game, but games like MURLOC RPG (you should check it out btw, here on NG) are long and good. This is an amazing RPG, and I just can't wait to play more and see what happens next! 5 stars!!!!! This is Zany and I'll tell you once and I'll tell you again, this is one of my favorite flash RPG's.
One of the best most difficult rpgs ive ever played! I love how you even added a feature at the end with the ultimate weapons and widest range of strategy possible. This is about the fourth time Iv'e played through this game :D
Protip for others having trouble: Get the skills "Block" and "Intervention". First use block and next turn use intervention. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it makes the block last as long as intervention is up. Enjoy :D

San Francisco had five sacks and two interceptions that it returned for touchdowns against the Saints in Week 12. Sam Bradford is no Drew Brees, and the 49ers should dominate on defense once again.
If Houston can apply pressure to struggling Jake Locker, this game could be over quickly. In the last meeting, the Texans notched four sacks and picked off Matt Hasselbeck twice.
The Ravens received a boost of energy this week from the announcement that spiritual leader Ray Lewis may still return before the end of the year. This week the Ravens will try to exploit a Pittsburgh offense that turned the ball over eight times last week.
The Cowboys scored three touchdowns in the first meeting with Philadelphia. It would be crazy to expect an encore, but Dallas' return game is now one of the league's most explosive, and the defense's aggressive nature can lead to points at any time.
The Jets have been steamrolled by opposing offenses several times this season, including Week 12, when the Patriots scored 49 points on them. The Cardinals aren't the Patriots, and they'll be starting a rookie quarterback, making this borderline unit a risk/reward Week 13 option.
The Jaguars still rank among the bottom five in both yards (410.5) and points (28.0) allowed. Last week they showed some promise against Tennessee, but fantasy owners cannot take this unit seriously, not even against lowly Buffalo.
The Packers' offensive line is a mess, and their running game has still not gained the respect of opponents. This is the type of game Jared Allen lives for.
The Patriots' defense is red-hot in fantasy right now, posting consecutive huge games against the Colts and Jets. The Pats have five defensive or special teams touchdowns, three sacks and eight forced turnovers in that span. They'll face rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Week 13.
The Cardinals gave up 205 passing yards and 173 rushing yards against the Rams, with two sacks and an interception. They should be in for a big game against a Jets team that is having trouble scoring points.
While the Panthers didn't get any interceptions against Philadelphia in Week 12, they did force three fumbles and allowed only 107 passing yards. They should have another nice game in Week 13 against another replacement quarterback.
For the third week in a row, the Bengals proved to be a very good fantasy defense. They had four sacks for the third game in a row, and they forced two turnovers. The Chargers have struggled offensively, so the Bengals' defense is a good start once again.
Cleveland's defense had another huge game in Week 12, keeping the Steelers under 200 passing yards and 50 rushing yards. The Browns also notched three interceptions and a sack. This unit is officially a nice sleeper against the Raiders in Week 13.
The Bills have not been an attractive fantasy defense this season, and after watching Jacksonville light up the scoreboard the past two weeks there is even more reason to steer clear of Buffalo.
The PED story and Seattle's disappointing performance last week will serve as distractions as they enter unfriendly Soldier Field. Most weeks Seattle is a smart bet; not this one.
Devin Hester's status (concussion) is worth watching, but it's nothing that should stop fantasy owners from giving this unit the green light for Week 13.
The Packers' injuries finally showed last week, as their lack of depth up front and inability to cover New York's receivers resulted in a blowout loss. Fortunately for Green Bay, the Vikings do not have as much offensive firepower.
It's difficult to predict what kind of mindset the Eagles will bring into this game after losing seven straight. They sacked Tony Romo three times a few weeks ago but failed to generate a single turnover.
The Chiefs had one interception and two sacks against the Broncos in Week 12. They held the Broncos to just 17 points, but they're just not consistent enough to trust week in and week out in fantasy play.
The Rams had four interceptions, including two that they returned for touchdowns, against Arizona in Week 12. They'll face another young quarterback in Colin Kaepernick, but they won't see the same kind of success against the Niners.
The Detroit offense has been difficult to stop lately, and it's possible the Colts could get entangled in a shootout similar to the one Houston got into with the Lions last week. That's not fantasy friendly.
The Titans' defense has the "good fortune" of hosting the league's best running back and a red-hot Matt Schaub. No thanks.
The Steelers limited Baltimore to just 200 yards of total offense two weeks ago. Somehow we doubt Pittsburgh will be able to contain Ray Rice a second time.
The return game has failed to impress but the defense is finally coming alive. In the first meeting with Washington, the Giants collected three fumbles, an interception and three sacks.
This isn't the Giants from a few weeks ago. This New York offense has its act together and can strike on the ground or through the air. Washington may be red hot, but this game will cool down the 'Skins a bit.
The Saints forced two turnovers against the 49ers in Week 12, but they were unable to get any sacks, and they gave up 31 points. The Falcons are even tougher offensively, so look for another fantasy defense in Week 13.
Atlanta picked up a pair of sacks against the Buccaneers, but it couldn't force any turnovers. The Saints' high-powered offense comes to town in Week 13, and the Falcons gave up 31 points to them in Week 10, with one interception and one sack. This is not a favorable fantasy matchup for the Falcons' defense.
The Buccaneers had a tough time against the pass once again in Week 12, allowing 353 yards and a touchdown to Matt Ryan. They registered one sack and forced two turnovers, but don't trust them against the explosive Broncos.
Denver's defense continues to shine for fantasy owners, allowing just nine points and 116 passing yards to the Chiefs in Week 12. The Buccaneers are a more formidable opponent, but you have to keep the Broncos active.
The Raiders' defense has produced four consecutive bad games now. Oakland has allowed an average of 42 points in that span, with just two forced turnovers and three sacks.
The attention paid to Ndamukong Suh this week has masked a bigger issue: the fact that Detroit allowed more than 200 rushing yards and more than 300 passing yards in last week's loss. Fantasy owners should keep a safe distance from the Lions.
San Diego forced a fumble and registered five sacks against the Ravens in Week 12 and gave up 16 points in the overtime loss. The Chargers are worth considering depending on the matchup, but this week they're just a borderline unit against the Bengals.
Miami's defense was strong against Seattle, allowing 312 total yards while keeping the Seahawks under 100 yards rushing. The Dolphins also have five sacks in their past two games, although the Patriots' offense is just too strong to consider starting the Dolphins in Week 13.
