"Whoa, Ellie! Texas got itself a brown ale!"
Oh, how many a time have I dreamt about the brown ales since leaving the confines of the east coast: Brooklyn, Smuttynose, Rogue? And how many times have I wandered through the aisles and tumbleweeds of the parched Texas landscape, wondering where all the brown ales have gone?
But alas, an Edward's-Aquifer, artesian wellspring has formed! Its name is Real Ale Brewing Company.
Pours thick and beefy (like brisket!), but not overdone. "Overdone," in this case means that the light-brown head shows just the right amount crystal and roasted malts in the recipe without having gone completely Starbucks on the roasted stuff. These specialty malts shoot straight down the center and blossom just after mid-taste to reveal a ripe, estery plum flavor, which is tempered nicely by the darker roasts. The plum finishes to a nice wine-grape-skin tannin.
PS - The current brewery looks just like this label.

Appearance: Hazy Brown with reddish hues. Thin khaki head.
Aroma: Cola-like sugars, mild nuttiness, caramel.
Taste: Mellow and light. Caramel and nutty malt. Generic fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: Light, well carbonated, balanced, smooth.

The beer pours a brown color with a tan head. The aroma is very good. In addition to the caramel and toffee, I also get some earthy hops and a little bit of coffee. I don't get any coffee in the flavor, but it was replaced by chocolate which is a welcome surprise. The flavor also has some caramel and earthy hops, lightly toasted malt. The beer has a very creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A great brown ale.

3.18/5 rDev -11.2%
Smells of medium-rich malts, a hint of coffee and brown sugar, earthiness.
These flavors continue strongly on the tongue, the malts definitely being the highlighted flavors. Large grain tastes dominate, with hints of both lightly-toasted, Grape Nuts cereal-like notes, as well as slightly darker, chocolate malt-style flavors, and a smidgin of fruit esters. Also present are hints of coffee and light caramels, with some tobacco-like flavors deep beneath the surface. The finish is a combination of the tobacco-like flavors and the darker chocolate malts, and fades off quickly. Hops are quite light--in fact, not much more than would be expected from a Budweiser--but a small hint of grapefruit bitterness may be found just at the edges.
Overall, this is a decent brew, though I do find it to be more watery than I would like. Also note that this brew will probably be extremely difficult to find outside of Texas--I only found it near the San Antonio area while visiting my parents.

Poured into a pint glass dark red-brown with a thin off white head. Good lacing.
Has a light nut smell to it. Taste brings that scent along with a nutty taste that mellows to a sweet malted flavor. Mouthfeel is light in carbonation, and the consistency is a nice balance.

On-tap at the Flying Saucer in San Antonio, TX.
Pours a slightly hazy dark brown color with a half-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells mainly of toasted malts but equal parts caramel and roasted malts also make an appearance. As the beer warms it sweetens a bit, allowing dark toffee flavors to waft out.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Toasted malt flavors kick things off before skewing more toward roasted flavors than lighter and sweeter caramel malt flavors. Very little hop presence throughout the sip but small amounts of leafy flavors sneak in midway through. The sip sweetens afterward before carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass without a problem and could have another.
Overall I thought this was a solid brown - nothing spectacular but a nice effort. Worth a shot.

Medium sized light tan head sits above a clear dark brown colored ale.
A faint sweet lightly roasted nut aroma coming off this beer.
Light chocolate malts with a creamy smooth taste.
A very light dryish aftertaste without much tastes lingering behind with this medium bodied brown.
This beer seems like the halfway point between Bud and Guinness, not sure if that's a compliment or not.

Pours a mahogany brown with a slow to form tan head. The head doesn't rise more then a quarter inch and dissipates quickly.
Smell is chocolate-ish coffee with some roasted malts, nuts and almost no hops.
Taste is nutty and dry with a malt finish. Some dark chocolate in the after taste and this beer is dry, dry, dry. I feel like drinking some water after every sip. I like the low carbonation however it might be a rare flat bottle (compared to other reviews.)

A thick beige head leaves a lasting, sticky patterned lace down the sides, sitting atop a murky dark brown body. Not aggressive in the nose but pleasant; it's malty with a bit of nutty (almond?) scent, some caramel and brown sugar sweetness.
In the mouth, medium-light body, slick until a somewhat sticky finish. Caramel, mild toast, a slight bitterness, and a bit of woodiness at the end.
An easy drink, a good pick for a hop vacation, and not a bad counterpoint to saltier or more savory food.

Thanks to Rick Sawyer and Team Sinister for this bottle.
It's a nice, dark amber with muddy brown hues and a 1/2" high crown with a quick dissipation.
The aroma is of dark chocolate covered wheat with spicey and herbal hops and slight tangy effect.
The flavor is a rich, dark chocolate flavored malt that's hefty and smooth, medium bodied feel. A nice spicey and tangy wheat flavor with earthy hops. The malt flavor is the star here but the balance is also pretty much right on. A bit thin feeling but the spicey tang gives it a nice jazzy effect to peek interest.
not a bad brown.

Pretty ordinary beer. Mahogoney brown body with lots of off-white lace. Very malty, though not coying, including chocolate malt, low IBU hopped, noticeable sugar. Decent drinkability but nothing out of the ordinary.
A bit less than average mouthfeel. Silver X's bottle.

A Christmas gift from my sister in law - such a great gift!
Appearance - A medium brown with a reddish hue. Interesting color for an dark ale, I was surprised by the red in this! It almost looks unfiltered though, and it is not advertised as such so it knocks it down some.
Smell - A deep full smell. A light coffee and with full earth tones. I really do like the smell of this beer, reminds me vaguely of a porter.
Taste - I pick up a metal taste first thing. Some people may be turned off by this, but I think it makes it different from the rest. The ale also tastes of walnuts and pecans. Maybe the hops from the region add to this?
Mouthfeel - A decent mouthfeel, but the metal taste seems to interfer with the ability of the carbonation.
Overall - A good beer, but this one is a beer that I would drink with a heavy meal like a steak.

Its hazy mahogany body is topped by a light tan head of foam that holds quite well and leaves some jagged and craggy rings of lace at the outset. The nose is yeasty and fruity above a mildly caramelish and nutty malt. The body is medium/light and its very fine, natural carbonation is lightly zesty in the mouth. Chocolate and caramel mingle well together in the flavor along with a slight fruitiness, a light yeast bite, and some leafy hops. It's well balanced by a low-key bitterness and it finishes short and dry with just some residual nutty malt. This is probably quite excellent in cask conditioned form, but it seems to fall a bit short in the bottle.

Picked up a single in Dallas. Poured a clear brown body with a tan head.
Mmm, there are great chocolate flavors here. There's an especially nice Swiss chocolate note as this beer transitions to the aftertaste. There's also a nutty, chocolate roast flavor, but this is a very cocoa-centric brew - though it's not overly sweet. For fans of brown ales, chocolate lovers and folks looking for something a little different, give this a try.

Got this from Jeffers5000.
Pours a cloudy brown with a very thin head that dissapated to a small ring. No lacing.
Aroma is that of a caramel brown ale. No other way to really describe it.
Taste is pretty good. One of the better browns I have had but browns are fairly plain so I usually don't drink browns. This one is pretty good though.
Mouthfeel is nice and smooth. Nice carb.
Overall a tasty brown if browns are your thing. Oi have nothing against them I just would rather drink others beers with more flavor.

NEW YORK, NY_ New York's
mayor said the Boston Marathon suspects had plans to attack his city next.
Michael Bloomberg held a news conference Thursday with NYPD Police Commissioner
Ray Kelly. Bloomberg said the FBI made them aware Wednesday after talking with
the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
"He told the FBI apparently that he and his brother had intended to drive to
New York and detonate additional explosives in
Times Square," Bloomberg said. "They had built
these additional explosives, and we know they had the capacity to carry out the
attacks. If, God forbid, they had arrived in New York City and gone to Times Square,
one thing for sure, they would have seen an enormous police presence, but they
would not have seen the extensive network of cameras that are part of our
security initiative, which would have helped police identify suspicious
movements such as packages left unattended on the streets."
The police commissioner said the Tsarnaevs had five pipe bombs and a
"pressure-cooker bomb" with them in the SUV they stole in Massachusetts.

In the early 90's Entombed was one of death metal's most promising new acts. Their debut LP "Left Hand Path" is a landmark record for the 90's and one of death metal's most powerful debut. Their sophomore release "Clandestine" was even stronger than the previous. It was faster, heavier, and just all around better. After that came one of the most disappointing releases in metal history "Wolverine Blues" which featured a Marvel Wolverine Comic in the original LP. This was an experimental album in which Entombed incorperated a more rock 'n' roll element in their songs and thus dubbed it "death 'n' roll". The album was a big disgrace, and Entombed stayed in this direction for all of their albums, until Serpent Saints. This album is not Clandestine, but its getting there. It has a lot of the early Left Hand Path riffs, as well as some of the death 'n' roll. Entombed finally made a metal record after all these years, and it is definitely worth a listen.
Entombed Biography - Entombed Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Kings Of Damnation: Era 98 04 is a look at the evolution of Zakk Wylde's progression as a musician, beginning from his solo venture with Pride & Glory and Book of Shadows, leading up to his final album for Spitfire, Hangover Music Volume VI. Includes 2 previously unreleased tracks. 2005.Zakk's work as guitarist for Ozzy and his solo work are two completely different beasts. His guitar for the Prince of Darkness works largely within a mainstream framework while his solo playing and writing often showcase an entirely different side. He's no one-trick-pony and "King of Damnation: Era 1998-2004" showcases the best of his varied interests. The collection from his days on the Spitfire label goes from blues-chugging Southern boogie ("Losing Your Mind"), to hard driving Pantera-like thrash ("Bleed for Me") to acoustic pieces best illustrate how his versatility meets his virtuosity ("TAZ" and "Takillya"). The two new songs on this collection are the slower, harder numbers "SDMF" and "Doomsday, Inc.". His vocals are not the most exciting for Rock, but that's not what you're here for. After all, his playing is vast and technical, going from solid riffing to intricate solo in a matter of moments. If you're a rock or metal fan looking to find a way into this guitar man's catalog, this is the perfect place to start. – Robert Arambel

This album sounds like the old Entombed that I've been missing since the singer went Christian. Wolverine Blues is the greatest thing they'll ever create. It's evil, loud, and yes, rocks. It's Death Metal whether you want to admit it or not. What you should be buying is Death Breath. The drummer from Entombed other band. They'll show you how to die old school.Stinking Up the NightLet It Stink
A very good effort on their part. Didn't care much for the simplicity of the lyrics. Musically, they are as tight and evil sounding as ever. Two songs eerily sound like the openings of Slayer tunes. Not a horrible album, but not the "Death 'n Roll" I enjoyed in Wolverine Blues and To Ride…
This is a terrific new Entombed album. Apparently its a concept album with the main theme being deceit. It has a lot of leanings toward different types of metal and some of the old school fans will appreciate it, but its not Left Hand Path.
Listen to it a few times and you'll hear some death and roll, some black metal and some old school death metal. Less rock and punk than some of the recent past, it is the best since Wolverine Blues. Check it out. I love it like you love Jesus.

After months of discussions, the Florence City Council voted on an ambulance bid to serve both the city and Lauderdale County.
The Shoals Ambulance Service
received the bid from the council.
Shoals Ambulance Service will provide care to all patients throughout the county including the Killen-Center Star area.
Tuesday night's decision was a result of a new proposal
through a competitive bid process.
City leaders said the changes will not affect patient care.
"Every time you will get the same level of care in the city of Florence, the city of Killen, the city of Rogersville, the city of Waterloo," said George Grabryan with the Florence-Lauderdale EMA.
"We think we put
together a comprehensive proposal that took into consideration response times
the city and county were asking for, and we took into consideration the
technology that we could offer that currently isn't being offered now,"
said Shoals Ambulance Service CEO, Bryan Gibson. "I can't really compare
them side by side because I don't know what theirs is, but I was pleased to
hear the outcome from the city council and the city staff that chose, us and we
came out to be the winner for Florence."
The county commission is expected to vote on the contract next week.

These long and elegant pods, also known as lady's fingers, are high in vitamins A and C, and they're not necessarily slimy.
Season: Year-round; peak season is May through October.
How to Choose Okra
Look for young, small pods no more than 4 inches in length (larger pods tend to be tough and stringy). Choose specimens that are firm, unblemished, and bright in color. Green is most common, but you may encounter red or deep burgundy varieties. Pass up any that are limp or bruised. Frozen okra is a ready substitute for fresh, while canned okra is best used in stews.
How to Store Okra
Store unwashed okra in a paper bag in the warmest part of the refrigerator for up to 3 days (overly cold temperatures can speed decay).
How to Prepare Okra
Wash the pods and pat dry. Trim the stems, taking care not to pierce the pods if using whole. For faster cooking, cut pods crosswise into star-shaped cubes.
How to Use Okra
When cooked, okra releases mucilage, a substance that helps it retain water but which many find slimy. Minimize the oozing by cooking quickly using dry cooking methods (baking, frying). Okra's mucilage works to the cook's advantage as a natural thickener when added to soups and stews, particularly gumbo.

The Riggs Spring Loop is a great alternative to the usual "ho-hum, more outrageous hoodoos" flavor that dominates most of Bryce Canyon National Park. It's an even better alternative to the overwhelmed trails further north. You've got an excellent chance of seeing wildlife too, like deer, elk and peregrine falcons.
One caution: Since Rainbow Point and Yovimpa Point sit on the highest promontories of Bryce, they're colder than the main tourist amphitheaters, and tend to attract serious afternoon lightning. I was literally almost struck while scouting in early June. Much of the hike was done in rain and hail.
From the Yovimpa Point trailhead, on the western end of the Rainbow Point parking lot, you wander south for several hundred yards to a sign for Yovimpa Pass and Riggs Spring. There, turn right and gradually descend WSW through a spruce/fir forest floored with green-leafed manzanita. You'll know you're on the right path by the small diameter water pipeline that occasionally emerges from the trailbed.
Just under a mile in, you'll encounter a nice overlook atop the Pink Cliffs Rim of the Paunsagunt Plateau. Ahead, you can see the forested saddle of Yovimpa Pass. At the pass, 1.66 miles in, you encounter the first campsite at Yovimpa Springs. While this won't be far enough from civilization for many people, the pleasant aspen-lined meadow offers good views to the southeast, and excellent water thanks to a developed spring just below the rim. It makes a fine campsite for families with small children or grandparents. Get water where the trail crosses the outlet stream below the pumphouse building.
From Yovimpa Springs the trail descends steeply to Riggs Springs, switchbacking down nearly 1,000 vertical feet into needle-floored ponderosa groves. Riggs Spring has excellent camping in the cool glades, and the spring has a healthy flow guarded from the occasional wandering cow by a wooden fence maze.
Just beyond Riggs Spring, you turn left/North and begin a gradual ascent up Mutton Valley to a low ridge crossing into Corral Hollow, where you'll traverse eastward to Corral Hollow Campsite at 4.78 miles. While pleasant, it's definitely second choice to Riggs. Another short climb on good trail takes you over a pleasant saddle at 5.04 miles that offers refreshing breezes on a hot day, good views to North and South.
Another short descent returns you to an eastern fork of Corral Hollow, and Bulberry Spring at mile 5.66. It's usually just a boggy swamp, but does offer treatable water if you're desperate. Between Corral Hollow Camp and Bulberry Spring, keep your ear tuned for the raucous screen of peregrine falcons, nesting on the brilliant Pink Cliffs overhead.
Now, in the next 2.5 miles, you'll get the promised exercise, climbing to a rim-edge intersection with the Under the Rim Trail at 8.10 miles. Turn left/West and follow several well-signed intersections back to Yovimpa Point and your car.

 Permit: Park entry is $20/vehicle. Backcountry overnight permits are $5/one- to two-person party.
Gear up: Ruby's Inn General Store has fuel, food, first-aid supplies, and basic hiking gear. 1000 South UT 63, Bryce Canyon City; (866) 866-6616.
--Mapped by Steve Howe
TO TRAILHEAD: Bryce lies on UT 12 between Panguitch (25 miles west) and Escalante (50 miles east). Turn south on UT 63 from UT 12, and drive 3.8 miles to the park. From the entrance, it's 18 miles to the parking lot for 9,115-foot Rainbow Point, the park's highest spot. You'll actually begin from the Yovimpa Point Trail, which starts from the south end of the same parking loop.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)

Daqwan Issac Young, 21, of Savannah, was found guilty of armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony for the 2011 armed robbery of Xavier McGiver, according to the Chatham County District Attorney's Office.
The other man charged in the crime, Quayshaun Floyd, 21, entered into an open ended plea Monday and received 15 years in prison with 11 to serve without parole, according to the district attorney's office.
On April 8, 2011, McGiver was at Floyd's friend's house in Yamacraw Village when he was beaten and robbed by a man with a shotgun, who he later identified as Young.
His shoes, hat, phone, pants and $65 and debit card were stolen. Floyd, who came into the home and participated in the robbery, was later arrested by Savannah-Chatham Metro Police wearing McGiver's hat and shoes.
Young was prosecuted as a recidivist because of his prior convictions and being on felony probation. He is also currently under indictment and awaiting trial for an aggravated assault charge for an attack on a corrections officer, according to the district attorney's office.Copyright 2013 WTOC.

Hecker takes hard look at North Korea's nuclear test
North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test on Feb. 12, prompting President Barack Obama to call the detonation of a nuclear device a "highly provocative act" that threatens U.S. security and international peace. It is the third nuclear test by Pyongyang since 2006 and is escalating concern that the isolated Stalinist state is now closer to building a bomb small enough to be fitted on a missile capable of striking the United States and its allies. The test was conducted hours before Obama's annual State of the Union speech.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said the test was conducted, "in a safe and perfect way … with the use of a smaller and light A-bomb, unlike the previous ones, yet with great explosive power." The statement said the nuclear device did not impose "any negative impact" on the environment.
North Korea said the atomic test was merely its "first response" to what it called U.S. threats and said there would be unspecified "second and third measures of greater intensity" if the United States remains hostile to the North. Washington had led the call for more U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang after the North launched its first rocket and put a satellite into orbit in December. While the North said the launch was for its civilian space program, the Obama administration believes it was part of a covert program to develop ballistic missiles that can carry nuclear warheads.
We ask Siegfried Hecker, former CISAC co-director and now a senior fellow at CISAC and the Freeman Spogli Institute, as well as one of the world's leading experts on plutonium science, to dig deep into the technical and political aspects of the nuclear test. Hecker has been invited seven times to North Korea and he made international headlines when he returned from his last trip in November 2010 and announced the isolated North Asian nation had built a modern uranium enrichment facility.
Q: Why did North Korea conduct a nuclear test at this time? What from a technical standpoint were they trying to achieve?
Hecker: With its limited nuclear test experience, North Korea needed a third test to demonstrate that it can miniaturize a nuclear device; that is, make it sufficiently small and light to mount on one of its missiles. This test may have given them the confidence to do so for one of their shorter-range missiles. The 2006 and 2009 tests demonstrated that North Korea can build a nuclear device, but that its nuclear arsenal is likely restricted to bulky devices that would need to be delivered by plane, boat, or van, thereby greatly limiting their deterrent value. With a missile capable nuclear device, Pyongyang enhances the credibility of its deterrent.
Perhaps the greatest impact of this nuclear test is that it will signal that the Kim Jong Un regime, like its predecessors, has chosen bombs over electricity."
Q: What do we know about the test?
Hecker: As anticipated, North Korea conducted its third nuclear test in the northern mountains of the Punggye-ri region on February 12, 2013 at 11:57 a.m. local time. Based on analysis from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), we know the test was conducted in proximity of the previous two nuclear tests, with the current estimated epicenter almost directly under Mount Manthap, which is very close to the epicenter of the 2009 blast.
Q: Do you consider the test to have been successful?
Hecker: The USGS and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization's International Monitoring System reported seismic signals with a magnitude of 5.0 to 5.1, with characteristics typical for underground nuclear explosions. This is roughly twice as large as the 2009 test, which recorded seismic magnitude of 4.52 and estimated yield of 2-7 kilotons. Hence, I would call the third test successful. An accurate explosion yield estimate will have to await more detailed analysis by the scientific community. The 2006 test was likely only partially successful since it had an estimated explosion yield of less than 1 kiloton.
Nuclear facility in Yongbyon, North Korea. Fuel fabrication facility. Siegfried Hecker examining machining lathes removed from machine shop.
Q: Is it possible to tell what kind of a nuclear device the North Koreans tested?
Hecker: Not so far. The seismic signal only indicates the size of the explosion yield, nothing about the physical size of the device or its sophistication. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency announced the day of the test that the blast "was conducted in a safe and perfect way on a high level with the use of a smaller and light A-bomb unlike the previous ones, yet with great explosive power." Taken at face value, this would indicate that the first two were primitive Nagasaki-like bombs, much as we had suspected. It makes sense for them to attempt to miniaturize the nuclear device to fit on one of their missiles.
Q: Can we tell if they used plutonium or highly enriched uranium? Did the North Korean government reveal what it used?
Hecker: No, they did not specify whether the device was a plutonium or HEU device, and yes, it is possible to differentiate, although we do not know at this point. If the nuclear blast carried out in the tunnel deep underground causes sufficient fissures in the overburden rock, then gaseous fission products can escape and may be detected by airborne instruments or radiological monitoring stations around the world. There are different telltale signatures for HEU and plutonium devices, but they must be detected and analyzed very rapidly to allow conclusive identification. Radioactive signals were detected after the 2006 event, but not after the 2009 event. The 2006 signals were apparently not picked up in time to allow discrimination between plutonium and uranium. So far, China and South Korea have failed to pick up radioactive signals from this event.
Q: Do we know then that they used plutonium for the first two tests? Why would they switch to HEU for the third test?
Hecker: We have no definitive evidence that they used plutonium. However, during my 2008 and 2009 visits to North Korea, their nuclear specialists and government officials told me they used plutonium. In fact, the director of the Yongbyon Nuclear Center told me that the plutonium used for the first test was made in the plutonium laboratory that they showed me in 2008. The most likely choice for this test is an HEU device. Pyongyang had recently threatened to increase the size of its nuclear arsenal; it can only do so with HEU. North Korea has a limited plutonium inventory and decided to suspend plutonium operations in 2007. One can only speculate why it made that choice. Its plutonium facilities could have continued to produce one bomb's worth of plutonium per year. It is possible that the North Koreans believe they can develop a significantly larger HEU production capacity. In addition, the reactor operations necessary to produce plutonium are fully visible from satellite imagery because the reactor's cooling tower emits a visible steam plume, whereas the location and operations of uranium centrifuge facilities cannot be monitored from a distance, as was clearly demonstrated when Professor John Lewis and I were shown the previously undiscovered Yongbyon centrifuge facility during our November 2010 visit.
If Pyongyang were to share its test data with Iran, it would negate Iran's need to test its own device and allow Iran to get even closer to a nuclear bomb without detection."
Q: But why switch to uranium when the modern nuclear arsenals of the nuclear powers use plutonium?
Hecker: The apparent decision to pursue HEU devices is puzzling because plutonium bomb fuel is more suitable for miniaturized nuclear devices than HEU. Yet Pyongyang may have decided it would require too many tests and too much plutonium, which is in short supply, to demonstrate a miniaturized plutonium device. And, it is likely that Pakistan's A.Q. Khan sold the North Koreans a Pakistani HEU design that could be mounted on some of North Korea's short or medium-range missiles. If Khan provided both design and test-performance data, Pyongyang may have decided that HEU, albeit less effective than plutonium, was a quicker and more certain route to miniaturized nuclear devices.
Q: In an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists last August, you and former CISAC Visiting Scientist, Frank Pabian, speculated North Korea might detonate two nuclear devices simultaneously. Did they?
Hecker: It does not appear that they detonated two at once. They did not claim to have done so and the seismic signals were indicative of one detonation (although it would be difficult to discriminate if the two were in close physical proximity). We believed that one more plutonium test would help to provide valuable information on the yield-to-weight ratio, critical for miniaturized designs. An HEU test would allow them to move to a possibly expanded future arsenal. We speculated about the possibility of multiple simultaneous tests because such have been conducted by the United States and the Soviet Union, and most recently in 1998 by India and Pakistan. Such tests have some technical limitations and are more challenging to conduct, but they have the huge advantage of not incurring additional political cost -- in other words, they can get two for the price of one.
Q: Is it possible that Pyongyang will follow the third test with another in short order?
Hecker: Yes, the rationale for multiple tests is still there. And they are technically prepared to do so. We had previously reported that a third test tunnel, known as the south tunnel, was ready to go. We even predicted the epicenter of the next test under the mountain ridge in that test tunnel. However, a flurry of recent activity at the 2009 west tunnel portal made us suspect that they may use that tunnel for this test instead. The greatest security was evident around that portal prior to the test. It is too early to tell which tunnel they used, but it may well have been a second drift off the west tunnel. In that case, they have the south tunnel ready to go for another test. And, if they test soon, they may still get two tests for the political price of one. Moreover, the Kim Jong Un regime threatened unspecified "second and third measures of greater intensity" if provoked by further sanctions following this test. Perhaps the second and third measures refer to additional nuclear tests, or a combination of nuclear tests and missile launches.
Q: What does this test tell us about the future of Pyongyang's nuclear program and the threat it poses to the United States and its allies?
Hecker: With every additional test, North Korea's deterrent appears to be more credible. But, one more test does not fundamentally change the security threat North Korea poses. This test makes Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal appear more threatening by taking it one more step closer to possessing a missile-deliverable nuclear weapon. With every nuclear test – failed or successful – North Korea's nuclear specialists learn something. This test may indicate North Korea will expand its arsenal by stepping-up production of HEU and possibly, but not likely, restarting its suspended plutonium production. Pyongyang may now have more confidence in the deterrent value of its arsenal thereby making North Korea more provocative and aggressive in its dealings with South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Yet, it is important to remember that even if North Korea can threaten a country with their arsenal, Pyongyang can only use its nuclear weapons if it is prepared to face the destruction of the regime.
Q: Does this test mean North Korea can threaten the United States with nuclear warheads?
Hecker: No, they have yet to demonstrate that they have developed an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). To do so would require much more flight-testing of their long-range missiles. In addition, the nuclear device would have to be very small and light, which would require additional nuclear tests. The nuclear warheads would also have to survive the demanding mechanical and thermal stresses of re-entry into the atmosphere. Hence, they are many years away from threatening the United States; besides why would they want to strike the United States? It would be suicidal and the regime is not suicidal.
They are many years away from threatening the United States; besides why would they want to strike the United States? It would be suicidal and the regime is not suicidal."
Q. What reverberating effects could this test have on global nuclear proliferation?
Hecker: North Korea has consistently been shown to be a proliferating state, often selling nuclear technologies to other countries in exchange for much needed currency. They allegedly sold natural uranium hexafluoride to Libya in February 2001, and they assisted Syria in building a covert nuclear reactor at al-Kibar, which was destroyed by an alleged Israeli airstrike in September 2007. I am most concerned that North Korea will use this test data as currency and could potentially sell it to Iran. North Korea and Iran have a long history in sharing missile technology, and it is quite possible that this cooperation could extend to Pyongyang sharing its nuclear test data with the Iranian regime. This would significantly increase the threat of Iran's nuclear program, particularly if North Korea tested an HEU device. Iran now has the capacity to enrich uranium to weapons grade and to amass a sizable stockpile, although Iranian officials claim that its uranium has only been enriched to low levels for peaceful purposes. It would be very difficult for Iran to continue this claim if it tested a nuclear device on its soil. However, if Pyongyang were to share its test data with Iran, it would negate Iran's need to test its own device and allow Iran to get even closer to a nuclear bomb without detection.
Q: Following this test, what can be done to solve the North Korean nuclear threat?
Hecker: The test will spur the UN Security Council to likely impose a new round of economic sanctions again the North Korean regime. However, looking at the history of the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula shows that previous sanctions have not worked in stopping or reversing North Korea's nuclear program. Imposing sanctions is a tried and failed approach so long as China refuses to implement them seriously. This test creates a new reality and requires a different strategy than previously pursued. We must find common ground with China in limiting the North Korean nuclear program. The international community should now adopt a strategy of "Constrain, Contain, and Be Prepared" to manage the North Korean nuclear threat:
Constrain: The first priority must be to constrain imports of certain dual-use technologies to limit North Korea's ability to expand its HEU production. To be successful, this requires cooperation from China, North Korea's biggest trading partner and ally in the region. We must also focus on limiting North Korea – Iran nuclear collaboration.
Contain: In partnership with its allies, the United States must work to contain the North Korean missile and nuclear threat by working with South Korea and Japan to develop more extensive regional ballistic missile defense capabilities, and helping South Korea increase its missile capabilities to offset North Korea's threats.
Be Prepared: The United States and the international community should be prepared for more provocations by the North Korean regime, and be prepared to appropriately retaliate.
Q: You indicate this test is not a security game changer. Then what is its greatest impact?
Hecker: It certainly increases regional instability in Northeast Asia, so we can't downplay its significance. But, perhaps the greatest impact of this nuclear test is that it will signal that the Kim Jong Un regime, like its predecessors, has chosen bombs over electricity. It will now be difficult to look for resolution of long-standing enmities on the Korean peninsula by focusing on issues beyond the nuclear dispute. Normalization of relations, a peace treaty, access to energy and economic opportunities – those things that come from choosing electricity over bombs and have the potential of lifting the North Korean people out of poverty and hardship – will be made much more difficult, if not impossible, for at least the next five years. This is particularly unfortunate in light of President-elect Park Geun-hye's previously stated desire to promote better North-South relations through "trustpolitik" once she assumed office.

The Herald Bulletin
PENDLETON, Ind. —
Madison County sheriff's deputies arrested two brothers after an incident allegedly involving alcohol, a shot fired from a handgun and a short pursuit on foot Saturday night. No injuries were reported.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Ryan Roundtree, 32, of Pendleton, on a charge of Class D felony criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and his brother, Christopher Roundtree, 29, of Lapel, on a charge of Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement.
Their arrests stemmed from an incident that occurred Saturday, when the Madison County Sheriff's Department received a call of shots fired in the 8100 block of South Evening Drive at 9:07 p.m.
According to a press release issued by Maj. Brian Bell, the caller was an off-duty officer who also reported hearing shouts about someone having a gun.
When police began to approach a house in the 8200 block of South Evening Drive, where they believed the shots to have come from, they spotted a man fleeing from the home and began to pursue him on foot, according to the press release.
Deputies lost the man on the north side of the residence and returned to the house, where they received permission to enter and found several people inside, including children and an infant child.
The owner of the home told officers there'd been an argument, but that she was unaware of any shots fired.
An investigation revealed that Ryan Roundtree was allegedly intoxicated and had fired a shot from a handgun in the backyard of his residence at the South Evening Drive address, Bell said in the release.
Christopher Roundtree told police he'd seen his brother fire the gun and that afterward, he took the firearm and ran off with it, hiding it next door before returning to his brother's house, the press release said.
Both Roundtrees have since posted bond from the Madison County Jail.

Rey Mysterio is quite possibly the most successful luchador in American professional wrestling, or at the very least WWE. For that reason, he's a valuable asset. On top of being kid friendly and one of the better career long babyfaces in the business, his merchandise always does well at arenas the world over.
The problem? He's held together by a few screws, some band aids, and duct tape.
He's been injured and out of action since February, dealing with an assortment of issues. His knee has given him the most trouble. Indeed, it's been operated on a number of times throughout his career and it's gotten so bad he's had to completely adjust his style.
Despite all this, he tells WWE.com he's getting closer to returning and has visions of continuing on for years to come:
WWE.COM: With all of the injuries you've had, have you ever given thought to retiring?
MYSTERIO: No. I'm 39 years old and I know I've been doing this for quite some time, over two decades. Retirement is, for me, something that'll be down the road, but not within the next two or three years. I feel like, with how medicine is evolving, something will be out there soon that can help you heal from arthritis. That might be what helps my longevity and pushes me to keep performing.
There's still a place for Mysterio on the WWE roster and while he can no longer be counted on to be a major player at a WrestleMania, necessarily, he's definitely still a valuable commodity.
Any Cagesiders looking forward to his return?

Center responds: Green board, so called
because of its green facing paper, is a
water-resistant gypsum panel intended as a base for
the application of ceramic tile and plastic-faced
wall panels. Its face and back paper are chemically
treated to combat moisture penetration, while the
gypsum core utilizes a special moisture-resistant
composition. Panels are available in 1/2-inch and
5/8-inch thicknesses, as well as in fire-resistant
formulations. You can finish green board just as
you do traditional wallboard, but when you use it
on ceilings, space the framing no farther apart
than 12 inches o.c. for 1/2-inch board or 16 inches
o.c. for 5/8-inch board.
Green board is ideal for humid areas such as
bathrooms, powder rooms, kitchens, and utility
rooms. It is not intended for use in areas subject
to frequent water exposure, such as shower and tub
surrounds, indoor pools, and gang showers. For
those wetter areas, choose a cement board product
such as Durock, whose aggregated Portland cement
core will not deteriorate when wet. Cement board is

Cold temperatures and high winds had experts worried about the health of this years wheat crop. But, initial assessments may be better than expected.
Wheat is used in many of the products we buy at the grocery store. Therefore, where there is a bad wheat harvest, price in the store typically increase.
Initially experts were predicting that freezing temperatures in the area were going to cause severe damage to this season's wheat. However, the ongoing drought forced many local farmers to plant their crop later than normal.
We were able to survey wheat fields with experts on Thursday and learned because the crop was planted later, the wheat is still in it's early developmental stages and can better withstand cold temperatures and high winds.
As a result, wheat plants are in better shape than expected and consumers won't see a drastic increase in prices at the grocery store.
Although there is a potential for grocery prices to go up, there is no need to worry just yet.
Experts from AgriLife Extension told us even if wheat prices were to double, the price for a loaf of bread would most likely not increase enough for consumers to notice.

I received this information from Jeff Silvey. It is great information for everyone and you could possibly save someone's life if you recognize these signs and obtain help in time.
The last test is relatively new information. Although it has been applied in the EMS field for quite a while now many lay people are not aware of the test.
My thanks to Jeff for requesting this information to be posted in the forum.
STROKE:Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this....
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other,that is also an indication of a stroke.

Gering celebrates LEED gold certificate
A ceremony at Gering's Lincoln elementary school this morning celebrated the first LEED Gold school in the state of Nebraska. Gering school officials, architects, construction supervisors and Nebraska LEED representatives acknowledged receipt of the LEED Gold Plaque and the LEED Gold certificate which recognized the highest performance in sustainable architecture and construction.
LEED Project Manager Ryan Stearns says he hopes it is a catalyst for other schools to do the same thing.
Stearns says over 90% of the construction waste was recycled and more than a third of the school is built from recycled materials.
Lincoln Principal George Schlothauer says the building offers the best atmosphere for learning, with improved lighting and air circulation plus a a heating and air conditioning system that provides a comfortable environment for students and staff.
