Webb endures disrupted journey
A Lufthansa flight departing from Munich airport to Donetsk with referee Howard Webb has been delayed for several hours, a Spiegel Online reporter tweeted.
Rafael Buschmann, a reporter covering the Champions League game between Shakthar and Borussia Dortmund and booked on the same flight as Webb, tweeted that the aeroplane was not able to meet the scheduled departure time of 10.15am GMT because of a heavy load.
According to the Buschmann, the flight to Wednesday night's Donetsk, where the first leg is to be played, was not able to take off after starting and landing conditions had changed.
Webb appeared to be calm and took pictures with Dortmund supporters, who had chosen the Munich route to see their team play the round of 16 game against Shakthar. 90 minutes after the plane was supposed to take off, the flight company offered €400 for everyone delaying a flight until Wednesday.
According to the reporter, a group of 11 Dortmund supporters did some calculating and took the €400, after having paid €290 for the flight to Donetsk. They will fly out to the Ukraine on the day of the match. After the Dortmund fans had left the plane, it was filled up with fuel and rescheduled to take off at 12.45 GMT.

Debian Seeks Hardware Sponsors
An email appeal by Joey Schulze is calling for hardware donations to support two new Debian projects: snapshot and data archive.
To start the projects, 10 TB disk space, with easy extension abilities will be required, writes Schulze. Sponsors will be featured prominently on Debian's web server and service web pages.
Snapshot will function like Archive.org (the so-called "wayback machine" attempts to archive the Internet.) Based on dates and version numbers, it will enable access to previous Debian packages, as well as current and future versions. Schulze puts the required daily data volume at 3 to 4 GB. Present implementations already consume 4 TB, providing a valuable community service, he adds. The ability to install old packages and view the source codes will be immensely helpful for developers looking to fix regressions, and users frequently need older software to run specific applications.
The second project: data archive, will contain packages so huge they cannot be distributed through the regular archive. These could include medical, statistical and game data, the volume of which is growing continuously and Debian hopes to make available.
Sponsors are also needed for the two separate locations Debian plans for deployment. Unable to host from the US for legal reasons (some packages are not allowed to be distributed from within the USA). Ideally, Debian would like to run both projects on the same hardware, provided the donated resources prove sufficient.
Sponsors are asked to send a mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. "The Debian project is hoping for an independent storage array that can be extended or upgraded without having to reconfigure the hardware of the server attached to it," says Schulze, and,"A disk shelf based SATA SAN seems ideal for this application."
Debian envisions 10 TB to start, where a RAID with 12x 1 TB SATA drive seeming to be a good compromise between price and capacity. Hosts should consist of two recent CPUs and 32 GB RAM. Debian's available machines simply do not meet these requirements.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

slow connections load the nav bar css last
Hi – Im using the BP admin bar.
The only problem I have with it is that on a slow connection the nav bar is almost invisible till the css kicks in.
Since I dont have much alternative navigation this is a serious problem.
Also I have had issues with IE8 not showing the navbar until I click 'compatibility view'.
Anyone else have the same problem?
Anything we can do about it?

(AP) How to run a megachurch? With lots of help
On just about any Sunday, as many as 10,000 people may fill the pews of The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes' Dallas-area megachurch. Believers say he has an uncanny way of connecting with his audience anyway.
"It doesn't matter about the size," says Faith Johnson, a 13-year member. "It's almost like nobody else is in that church, but me."
It takes some help for leaders of the largest megachurches and national ministries to make believers reject the idea that a smaller church is more intimate and personable. A big staff of associate pastors and elders is indispensable.
Read it all.

I came across this article and it raises some interesting points. Has anyone else done similar things with their training?
High Reps for Growth
by Chris Cormier
Most bodybuilders will tell you that you can't get big without getting strong. If you've been at this sport for any length of time,, you've probably already learned that to get stronger and make your muscles grow, you need to lift within a rep range of 6-10. Most training articles advise you to stick with these low-rep parameters.
I'm here to tell you that the low-rep system is only second best -- at least as far as leg training is concerned. You may already be using high-rep sets to train your calves, which is an endurance muscle group that actually receives a stimulus each time you take a step. Such endurance muscles respond will to high-rep training because you're training them in a way that they were meant to be trained.
The fact is, you can train legs very heavy at low-rep ranges and make considerable progress. I did for a long time during my days as an amateur. When I was 19, I put six wheels on each side of the squat bar. In what must have been a twist of fate, I suffered an injury that changed the way I trained legs - in the long run, for the better.
One day while squatting with a relatively light weight (315 pounds), I turned just slightly to talk to someone with the bar across my shoulders; the next thing I knew, I was on my back. I felt a jolt - a pinched nerve. Instinctively, I re-racked the weight before falling to the floor, but I was unable to get up for about two hours. Though the injury was never diagnosed, it left a permanent mark: I could no longer squat in the manner I was used to without severe repercussions.
Though squatting had been my bread-and-butter leg exercise, I was forced to find an alternative that was equally effective. The movement I chose was the leg press.
The leg press may not be quite as effective as the squat in terms of overall quad development, but I can't argue with he results I've experienced from using it. More important the movement itself was how I combined dong the exercise with a new training style - which brings me back to my injury.
The simple answer to my injury was to use high reps in my leg training - much higher than most people traditionally use for muscle building. No longer did I do sets of 4 to 10 reps, but rather, I pushed through 20 reps! Even though my ego occasionally craved super heavy weights, I actually found that I was growing at a far faster rate on higher reps -- so much so that legs are now my number-one bodypart.
While some people might cut the weight stack in half in order to complete twice the reps, I pushed myself -- enduring both physical and mental torture -- to get my weights high too. How high? Turn the page if you can blow out 20 reps with 1,350 pounds. That type of training will definitely breathe fire into your quads.
How can you achieve your own heavy-weight, high-rep sets? First, attend to the physical component by warming up. With leg extensions, for instance, warm up by doing 15 reps with about 50 pounds (or whatever your warm-up weight is) for five sets. Then move on to the leg press. Start off with a couple of plates on each side of the machine for 20 reps, and add another plate on each side for every set (about five to seven total) thereafter. If you can do 15 reps with a weight, then you can do 20, but it's best to have a spotter there to keep you moving. Add just a little more weight every workout while keeping the reps high.
Getting the muscles to do the work is hard enough, but the most difficult aspect is actually mental: the attitude that it takes to get those last few reps. That's a champion's greatest skill, not devising some special combination of movements but perfecting mental toughness. A champion knows what he wants, knows what he needs to do and what it takes to get it. He wants it bad enough to work through the pain.
Work on your mental approach. Keep at it. Train with others who understand its importance. A good training partner will keep you focused when you want to quit.
One last point on the leg press: I often see people doing the movement with their legs way out on the platform or alternating foot positions (ditto for calf exercises). I prefer to keep my feet shoulder-width apart, pointing directly forward or just slightly outward. I don't think legs ware meant to do exercises with an exaggerated stance. Use a screwy stance while moving a ton of weight, and you're just begging for an injury.
There you have it: a leg-training formula that abandons the traditional school of thought on using heavy weights and low reps to build muscle. I discovered the routine quite literally by accident -- but you don't need to, because here it is.

I don't have good legs, so maybe I shouldn't talk, but I agree with Chris when it comes to leg press type machines. I prefer to push higher reps. Squats are a different story. I don't like going high rep there. The problem for me is that high rep stuff thrashes my legs and makes it harder to recover.

I've done both in the past - high rep squats and high rep leg press - with decent results. I'm more focused on strength now, but if I went to more size oriented routines, I'd probably do something like this.

I always failed on texas method because doing squats for volume monday and squats for intensity friday was always too much for me to recover from, but I always liked the idea of the workout. I may alter it to put leg press on volume day and squats on the heavy day. I would assume leg press is a lot easier to recover from than squats.
High Reps for Growth-i think that high reps are the key for muscle growth, i have been training my legs that way most of my life. i just don't see as much results fron the 6-10 rep range. also i beleive you can and should do higher reps with any exercise such as squats,hacks,ludges,etc2007wnbfpronaturalmen1161197315252.jpghere is a pic of my legs in condition.

I don't agree with Chris Cormier's 'why' (slow twitch vs fast twitch, ie calves etc that just isn't consistent with the science) but I do agree with higher reps being good for growth (not just for legs either) but ONLY when there is a decent level of strength. Big difference benching/squatting 20+ reps with 100lbs vs 300lbs+.
When the weight is heavy in absolute terms, the 'train in the 70%-90% 1RM' rule goes out the window ie if you're strong/very strong high reps is better for growth and easier on the connective tissue.
Or even simpler , lifting heavy stuff lots of times makes you huge!

Rep range is secondary to consistency with your efforts in the gym and at the food table for the majority of the people posting on here. Personally I have seen results training in both high rep and low rep fashion. What happens with these bodybuilders is they hurt themselves going too heavy or by doing something stupid like twisting to talk to someone with 315 lbs on their back. They then can't train as heavy with low reps to be effective, so they turn to higher reps. Tom Platz built his legs doing reps. Ronnie Coleman built his legs moving weight. I like the DC method of training in both ranges.
I have been doing some high rep (20-50 rep) lat exercises and noticed some size gains for sure.

You want a good example... Look at Tom Platz. The guy was a Freak of Nature with those legs of his and he implemented High reps like they were going out of style! That guy used to do sets of 50+ reps for some exercises. Insane!
*Edit* I didn't read ALL the posts, so I didn't notice that Joey had already referenced Platz.
However, Joey is right about the comparison to Ronnie and Tom. They both had significantly different training styles, yet have seen extraordinary results. I think it all comes down to finding what works for you. If one thing isn't working, you try something new until you find out what you need to do FOR YOU. Not for everyone else. I know some guys who have to hit their legs twice a week just to see any results whatsoever. Legs can be a bi*tch sometimes but you have to do what you have to do to get those wheels moving!

articles and books always told me lift heavy for size, but jacked guys that i personally know all say the high reps give size
So is the most important thing numbers of reps in a set or total reps performed for a movement?
For instance with Squats is there a difference between 5x8, 4x10, and 2x20?
Also generally when people do high rep stuff (>10 reps per set) do they generally do only 1-2 sets or do they still do a typical 3-4 sets for that exercise?
Height: 6'4 - Weight: 235 lbs - Age: 31
DL: 530 x 1
Squat: 355 x 1
Bench: 350 x 1
Strength is only mildly related to hypertrophy and muscular development. The ability to build strength has a lot to do with tendon length and thickness genetic traits that a person can do little about. Once you let go of the idea that "getting stronger" is synonymous with "getting bigger," your physique will improve, especially legs.
Strength is important, but it's only one training variable. There's no equation that says increased load equals increased muscle development. Focusing too much on it results in diminished returns, limiting your ability to enhance your physique. That's why any good bodybuilder who's been at it more than 6 or 7 years lifts less weight than he used to, not more. It's not strength that leads to development, aesthetics, and thickness. It's density of strength.
Strength Density
To say development hinges on strength in terms of load is incorrect. To say it centers on strength endurance is also misleading. The path to real effective muscle development, thickness, fullness, and sweep is a matter of strength density.
The true test of whether you're progressing isn't how much you're lifting coming out of the gate. A better testament is the load you can handle at the end of a volume approach.
When you're in a fatigued state (both metabolically and strength wise) and you're able to increase the load, that is the key to productive results. It's your density of strength, and not how much you can lift, that will earn you true hypertrophy and development.
I have had clients and myself as well do 30 reps on leg presses and squats with excellent results if properly applied to a program. I have also implemented Bodyweight squats of 75-100 reps and lunges of 40-50 reps each leg.
One of the things i disagree with in the article is using leg extentions as a warm-up. A proper warm up would first consist of variations of leg swings, umloading the knees with tubing, hip rotations, etc... Then you would go into physical rehersal of whatever exercise you are getting ready to do.

You should check out the article on James Pit Bull Searcy on the main site:
A powerlifter squatting over 1000lbs naturally, yet a major part of his training is 20-30rep sets on the leg press.

Of course when you lift weights regardless of volume or high and low reps
you get stimulation and increase size somewhat. Yes bodybuilders are strong but your missing the point. I'm not saying their weak or they don't lift heavy, but its only heavy relative to them and most don't focus on how much they lift they focus on how it feels whether if its 100lbs they're lifting or 300lbs. When it comes to the genetic elite almost anything will work, but thats about 5% of the population, so what are more average genetic people suppose to do? People are too stuck on numbers and focus on it because of their ego. There will always be exceptions to the rule.
I'm not saying bodybuilders should never do lower reps like 5-7 because I still do and it has its place as every athlete needs to surf the strength curve, but they should spend most of their time on the end of the curve that will produce the results they are after. For bodybuilders its 8-30 reps and powerlifters its 1-8 reps. A lot of people go the lower volume route because menatlly and physically its much harder to do high volume, just as Chris stated in the article.
As far as DC training its a system and with any system it can be used for a brief period of time with results, but to use it for long periods of time will not yield the best results for someone seeking size, it will end up beating up the joints. Thats why I use a methodology that integrates everything and not one set system because thats very limiting.

I completely disagree that bodybuilders lift with higher reps because they get hurt, not the case at all. i know many amature and pro bodybuilders who have never had a stupid injury due to that.
Also talking about Tom Platz and Ronnie and comparing them to most lifters is ridiculous, they are the genetic elite. Tom use to say he could run up a hill and his legs would grow and Ronnie does do low rep stuff on basic lfts but if you look at the rest of his routine its higher reps.

So this means that I should do more reps for everything with lighter weight? My back is one of the slowest parts that I have seen grow. Actually, I have been working out for almost 5 months and I haven't see much of my back muscles yet.. I do what I consider "heavy" for me, but I haven't seen any development, only strength. I sometimes get discouraged because I get stronger but I don't seem to get bigger, more muscular, but I have increased a lot in strength, which is also good.
How can I get more definition on my back, ACRESS?
I do Dumbell Rows (80lbs) 4 sets, 10 reps
Isolateral Low-Row Hammer Strength Machine 4 sets, 10 reps, Two 45 plates + 10 plate on each side
Cable Pulling, 135 lbs, 4 sets, 10 reps, (lower back recovering)
Wide Grip Pull ups, around 60 reps in 20 minutes or so.
High Row Hammer Strenth Machine, 4 sets, 10 reps, Two 45 plates + 10 on each side
Any recommendations, any one?
-█--------█- Squat: 285 x 3

Also you have to make sure you get a proper strech in the eccentric part. A muscle stretched with resisitance recieves the most overload. This means that leaning into back movements is a good thing, and leaning away is a bad thing.
Also proper technique is crucial for development and most don't perform the row properly. Proper bent row technique means being bent in a parallel position to the floor, knees slightly bent to remove low back strain, and an elevated position standing on a block, box, or platform. This reduces trunk support and puts the body in a more favorable plane of motion to overload the muscles of the back. The reason you row off a block or a platform is that the bar should actually come close to touching the toes at the bottom of the movement. This is what stretching the fibers with resistance is all about.
So stand on a block, and get that weight down to the bar touching the toes. You'll also need to shift weight to over the chest instead of back on your haunches. Again, the solution is to create less base support, which is joint stress transfer.
Keep your elbows slightly bent at all times. If you unlock the arms at the elbow, then your initial pull on the weights will be with the brachioradialis and biceps muscles, negating the all-important pre-stretch of the targeted latissimus.
Using a reverse grip for rows just exacerbates this problem, and indeed, this is exactly how Dorian tore his biceps. The plane and range of motion of the 45-degree row, combined with unlocking the elbows with a reverse grip, was too much for the biceps in that plane and range of motion with that load.
We see this in the seated row as well. The starting position of your torso should not be perpendicular to the ground. You need a much more exaggerated forward lean than that. If the foot plates of your seated row machine don't allow for leaning, then throw a box or a set of DB's in front of the foot plates to insure, more effective pre-stretch. You must lean into this movement. Remember, if you unlock the arms at the elbows, then the initial pull of the row will be centered in the arms, negating your targeted back work.
There are other factors as well that go into how your program should be structured to get the best effect. That takes a proper assesment and why individualized programs are soo important.

It sounds to me like your stating that strength is mostly genetic and that bodybuilding somehow isnt because you cant change your tendon size? Seems to me that would affect muscle size and strength.
Hypertrophy happens in higher rep ranges, everyone knows that. CNS training happens in lower. Sometimes improving your cns isnt going to make a damn difference if you have already been activating most of your muscle fibers. I thought it was well established that you should alternate between hypertrophy and cns training for best results regaurdless of whether or not your are a BBer or a PLer?
As soon as I think I understand something about lifting, it gets complicated again.
A couple of people had good points: Notably Mr. joey54's remark about consistency and eating and Mr. Acress's remark about the genetic elite growing from almost anything they do.
But there is quite a bit of misinformation.
BOTH high and low reps can stimulate growth (PROVIDED that the caloric intake and rest are there to begin with). Muscle is muscle is muscle. If 8-10 reps makes your chest grow, it will make your legs grow. If you are growing everywhere else but not legs...then you are doing something wrong when it comes to leg training.
Also I disagree (mostly) with high reps as some cure-all. The original concept of the 20 rep squat was not about growth per se (although it does a good job) but about really pushing yourself and breaking past mental barriers. You'll notice that no one really touts 20 rep bicep curls, bench presses, tricep pressdowns, deadlifts (although a few people do this last one). Why? Because it's not about growing from 20 reps it's about challenging yourself. 20 reps is not some magic number (19 or 21 or even 15 would likely work as well).
Intensity, consistency (in and outside the gym) and self-discipline are all far more important than any number of reps or sets. When everything is taken into account the volume (for the average natural trainer) just isn't that important.
When everything else is in order, then the amount of volume (unless you are doing ridiculous extremes either way) is not a huge factor unless you are a highly advanced trainee.

Watch: Two videos of the Oxford Bus Company bus on fire on the A40 at Headington
Updated 8:04pm Friday 6th June 2014 in News
A sliproad has opened on the A40 following a bus fire, but there are still heavy delays.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service was called to the Oxford-bound carriageway just before the Thornhill Park and Ride at 3.56pm.
The fire on the bus was put out and nobody was injured.
The slip road from Wheatley on to the A40 has now reopened following the earlier fire.
The M40 slip road is still closed according to traffic reports.
Oxford Bus Company has said its services to London and its airports will divert via Watlington while its U1 service will be unable to serve Wheatley and will terminate at the Green Road roundabout.
- Video from reader Luke Hnat
- Video from Tiago Lucas
An Oxford Bus Company spokesman said; "One of our U1 Brookes Bus services from Wheatley was approaching the Green Road roundabout when the driver noticed smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle.
"He immediately pulled up and got all the passers off safely before the bus burst into flames. The fire brigade was called to put out the fire.
"As soon as the vehicle is taken to our depot an inquiry will be held to find out what happened."
All our Airline and X90 services will divert via Watlington Oxford bound.— Oxford Bus Company (@OxfordBusCo) June 6, 2014
The Southern Bypass has also seen huge tailbacks due to roadworks.
Drivers are also queuing on the M40 after an accident blocked off one lane.
The accident happened on the northbound side between Bicester and Cherwell Valley Services.
Thames Valley Police has said it was not called to the incident.

Darren Criss, we'd like to marry you.
But if we can't have that we'll settle for an exclusive interview with the Dalton Warbler and imagine in our heads that it was a date.
We brought you the inside scoop on Glee way back in November 2009 so we're delighted to have been given incredible access to the cast just as the third series comes to Sky1 HD every Thursday.
So yes, we're all-singing, all-dancing this issue. Well, more than usual.
The music exclusives literally start just a couple of pages away, given that we had so many to cram in.
We've got Steps' first gay interview together in 10 years (the show, Steps Reunion, is actually amazing) and a plethora of top pop stars on the pages that follow.
But it's not all pop (and opera). We couldn't have a music issue without taking to the West End stage. An international exclusive, we had unprecedented behind the scenes access to one of the biggest musicals in the world, Wicked. We even managed to squeeze in a chat with the creator of the whole thing as he brings his series of Oz books to an end.
And yes, we stood centre stage and imagined we were singing Defying Gravity, you would too…
You might think we've earned a rest, but we're already hard at work on a couple of special issues for the coming months – trust us, you're not going to want to miss out! It all kicks off next month with our landmark 400th issue. See you then!

But in 1992, she pushed a bill through the Legislature authorizing the Prescott pipeline, which now stands to cost sponsoring cities $192 million — not counting interest. Her bill authorized Prescott to tap water from the Big Chino sub-basin, which lies north of the Little Chino sub-basin where the city has historically sunk its wells. Twelve years later, Prescott paid $23 million to buy a ranch in the Big Chino to obtain its water rights.
Springer's bill created the only exception anywhere in Arizona to a previously approved ban on inter-basin water transfers — a law aimed at preventing one region from stripping another of its water resources, Chinatown-style. Her explanation for the need for the transfer is that a community must "grow or die."
"If we can't grow at all in the future, because we lose our right to pump groundwater, we will cease to exist," Springer said. "There is no such thing as a static kind of a situation in terms of a community. You can't not grow at all and survive. We have to have some element of growth."
The Big Chino transfer bill wasn't Springer's only political effort relating to water supplies in the Verde Basin. Just last year, she chaired the group behind a successful statewide "takings" initiative that requires compensation of any landowner who can prove a new regulation reduces his property value. Some say the initiative could make it harder for the state to regulate development in rural areas with inadequate water supplies.
And in 1994, she co-sponsored a bill that allowed Arizona landowners to split their lots into as many as five pieces — up from three in the past — without having to gain approval for a formal subdivision. Because lots created in this way usually require their own water wells, this bill also nurtured a proliferation of "exempt" wells across rural areas — that is, wells that pump no more than 35 gallons a minute, but have no metering or regulation of their water use. As of this March, Yavapai County had more than 27,000 exempt wells — more than any other county in the state — and was getting 400 to 500 new ones each year. At least 2,500 exempt wells lie within five miles of the springs that feed the Upper Verde.
Critics accuse Springer and like-minded local officials of being "addicted" to growth. She responds that growth is inevitable, and she is simply trying to accommodate it. Many local residents have been scared into believing that the area has a water crisis by "extremists who preach doom and gloom," she says.
"It's getting harder and harder to get out a reasonable message that we have enough water in Arizona to serve our population and to serve reasonable growth. The water is not always where people are, so getting it involves the expense in transporting it. Those kinds of issues we are going to have to continue to deal with.
"But at this point in time, we have no immediate crisis."
Chip Davis is also a Yavapai County supervisor and a Republican, but that's where his resemblance to Springer stops. Springer represents part of Prescott and rural areas to its northwest, including the Big Chino Basin; Davis is elected from the Verde Valley. He was raised in a ranching family that has run cattle amid the mesquite and catclaw along Blind Indian Creek, about an hour's drive south of Prescott, since the 1880s.
Rather than Springer's "grow or die" view of development, Davis, 48, said his approach is to "build what you are capable of sustaining.'' He makes a point of saying that he believes that ranchland is still ranchland, not subdivisions waiting to happen, and that he doesn't believe growth in rural areas is inevitable. It's not just water that he sees as a potential limit to growth; he thinks it's unfair to saddle taxpayers with the bill to extend public services into "the middle of nowhere."
"I was raised with the idea that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. I think God's beauty is a heckuva lot nicer than man's beauty," Davis said.
Springer's water-transfer bill passed with almost no opposition because in 1992, he says, people didn't understand the connection between the Big Chino aquifer and the Verde River. "Arizona is a fairly young state, and people in rural Arizona were not as sophisticated and experienced," Davis said. "We were not aware of the bill. There wasn't much media coverage.
"In a way, it's refreshing now. Ten years ago, there wasn't a water issue in rural Arizona. There was actually a water issue, but people didn't know about it. Now, they do."
One of the reasons people know about it now is Laurie Wirt, an outsider who hammered home the connection between the Big Chino aquifer and the river. Wirt was a geochemist for the United States Geological Survey who had been studying the Verde on and off since the early 1990s. Working out of the agency's Denver and Tucson offices, she was also a river-lover who had rafted the Verde repeatedly and was concerned that it would suffer the same fate as the Santa Cruz, Gila, Rio Grande and other Southwestern rivers that had dried up or lost much of their flow due to pumping, cattle grazing and diversion. She was killed last June in a rafting accident in northern Colorado at age 48, only a few months after publishing the last of several studies of the Verde linking its water supply with the Big Chino.
Wirt had collected samples on the Verde off and on since 1991, and, as her friends in the scientific and environmental communities note, she was above all a scientist. But she was of a different stripe than the average government researcher, taking an activist approach with her research, recalled Steve Monroe, a former survey hydrologist who rafted and worked with Wirt as far back as the early 1990s. She met regularly with citizen groups to talk about the Verde and donated money to the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group that has been fighting to stop the Prescott pipeline.
"She saw the connection between the science and social issues and political issues, and that's not normally the mission of U.S.G.S.," said Monroe, who now works for the National Park Service. "A lot of times people look at U.S.G.S. as an objective scientific agency. Some people take it a little further."
Through the 1990s, scientific disputes over the Big Chino's link to the Verde waxed and waned. Back in the mid-1970s, water-level data gathered by U.S.G.S. showed that groundwater in the Big Chino flowed directly toward the river. But in 1991, a study done for Prescott concluded that a clay layer in the Big Chino blocked its groundwater from reaching the Verde. Three years later, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation published a study contradicting the Prescott study, and the clay-layer theory has since been generally discredited.
In 2000, Wirt and retired U.S.G.S. hydrologist Win Hjalmarson, an outspoken critic of the pipeline plan, collaborated on a report that combined isotope analysis, stream flow and rainfall records, groundwater documentation and geologic information to conclude that at least 80 percent of the Upper Verde's flow came from the Big Chino.
They didn't have much money, so Wirt, then based in Denver, flew to Arizona to work on her own time and raised money to publish their report. Their work refuted a 1997 study by Arizona State University that said the Verde's prime water source was Big Black Mesa north of the river. The groundwater level on the mesa was slightly lower than at the springs feeding the Verde — "strong physical evidence" that the mesa wasn't a source, they wrote.

Law enforcement officers have identified the victim killed in a rollover crash Saturday on Interstate 10 near Picacho Peak.
Rosa Ortiz, 28, of Tyrone, NM, was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The right rear tire tread separated and the vehicle she was driving entered the dirt median and rolled, DPS officers said.
Ortiz was ejected from the vehicle.
The one-vehicle crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. at mile post 219. It forced the temporary closure of the highway.
Twelve passengers in all were injured, many of them were children. They were taken to a Tucson area hospital.
No other names or information were immediately available.

- can't say how great everyone wasOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014it was our 40th anniversary and your management and servers made us feel that we were all celebrating together. Will never forget it and will come back. BTW I already told family and friends to go to Morton's!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful place to celebrate!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/25/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday at Morton's this week. It was the best dining experience we have ever had. Our server was outstanding! The pace of the meal was perfect. The food was incredible. We woukd highly recommend this Morton's in Reston Town Center.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not the bestspecialkDined on 8/23/2014The bartender Rick was a nice guy and took care of us while at the bar. The steak was more rare than medium rare. I ordered the mixed grill but i guess I didn't make that clear since they only brought out the filet instead of filet, shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. They apologized and brought out the rest shortly. My wife also had a seafood mixed grill. The shrimp were over cooked and tough on both entrees. The timing was way off and we had a very long wait between appetizer and entrée. The Restaurant wasn't that crowded so I am not sure why the delay. I can find other restaurants with better food and less expensive. Don't need to go there again.
- Great PlaceDisney4meDined on 8/22/2014My husband and I love this place!! The staff and chef's are the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cold Food, Pushy ServerOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/22/2014We sat outside, the server was very pushy and obnoxious. We ordered 4 lobsters, 2 starter salads, and a baked potato. The server insisted that it wasn't enough food for us and became very pushy. We told him if we were hungry later, we would order more, he insisted that we couldn't do that. We decided on the grilled asparagus. The salads were soggy, the lettuce wasn't very fresh. All lobsters and butter came to the table cold-Unacceptable. The asparagus didn't taste good. The best thing on the table was the bread and the baked potato. The dirty plates sat on the table for about 20min. The serve also would not let us cut the souffle ourselves. He rudely insisted that he didn't want us to cut it. The check took forever to get to the table.
- LOVE LOVE LOVEKatieCinVADined on 8/19/2014Never disappointed at Morton's! Everything there is perfection, can't say enough about it!Special Features:
- Patio perfect for wine tastingtastyVIPDined on 8/15/2014The Summer wine Tasting series is wonderful. Perfect weather on the patio added to a terrific event. Paid in advance, the event offered wines a good line up of wines from Italy. Good pours with small plate of canapés. Stayed for dinner after. Excellent event, excellent food, excellent service, excellent weather.Special Features:
- Grandson was the StarRickVIPDined on 8/15/2014They treated my 12 grandson like a celebrity. Right from the start the hostess asked him "table or booth?" Personalized menus were a nice touch. The wait staff also focused on him. It was really nice. One minor issue was the crumb sweeping. I'm used to it between courses, after the salad and before dessert, and he was fascinated by the tool, but really, the wait staff swept the table at least 4 times. Steaks were cooked just as ordered. Sides were humongous in the Morton's style. I really liked the way they treated our grandson on for his birthday dinner.Special Features:
- Yum's the word!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014I had been to Morton's in the past and was very satisfied then; this time, I was taking my husband out for his birthday and thought this would be the perfect location for a great steak. We were certainly not disappointed! My husband had a fantastic Porterhouse, and since I am pescitarian, I choose the Chilean sea bass, which was cooked to perfection. The wait staff was great, and the manager made sure he came over to wish my husband a happy birthday. We got "happy birthday" menus to take home, and they gave us a photo as well! Add a side note, their Bloody Marys are amazing. We will definitely return in the future!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality vs PriceJamesDined on 8/9/2014The quality of the food and the service were truly excellent... However, compared to comparable places I've dined, the prices were a little over the top... The wine selection is great if you buy by the bottle, but far less so if by the glass (too many "blends")...Special Features:
- Excellent as always!DebiDined on 8/9/2014Excellent food, wine, and service! The photo was a nice finishing touch with the complimentary birthday dessert! Love the consistency for our special occasions! We'll keep coming back! Thank you Morton's at Reston Town Center!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerJackVIPDined on 8/9/2014My wife and I had just a great dinner. Filet was cooked perfectly and delicious. Sides of creamed spinach and garlic green beans were also great. The souffle was the best we have had-light and delicious with Grand Marnier sauce. Service was attentive and really pleasant!!! Made you feel welcome. And they took a picture as we were celebrating a Birthday!Special Features:
- Good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/9/2014had the filet special. very good beef as usual. salads leave a lot to be desired. for morton's one would think a tomato or cucumber or avocado or something could be added to bland lettuce w/o anchovies to make a signature salad. need to take some looks at Fleming's and Ruths Chris for flavorful salads at a quality steakhouse.
- Downhill slide continuesMortonsNOTVIPDined on 8/6/2014Morton's has been sliding downhill since their acquisition by Landry's. The food is OK but not worth the price, and the service is absolutely horrid. I stopped in for an early dinner (5 PM) and it took me forever to get any attention is a mostly empty restaurant. Everything was a wait, my server would disappear from time to time (I'd actually get up from the table and go looking). I told them I was in a bit of a hurry since I had a 7 PM meeting, but no one seemed to notice or care. NO service recovery, nothing done well
- DanDDined on 8/2/2014I love Morton's. My New York strip steak was superb, the service, first class. Totally worth the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/27/2014My wife and I made reservations for my birthday. Everything was outstanding from being greeted at the door, the service, and the food.Special Features:
- First time, AnniversaryLovebirdsDined on 7/26/2014From the moment we stepped in the door we felt welcomed..The hostess greeted us w/ a smile & told us Happy Anniversary! So many stopped by our table wishing us a Happy Anniversary...Our waitress was amazing..she explained the menu so well! The food was absolutely amazing & dessert was on them which I thought was so sweet. I had a cocktail...that was one of the best I've ever had!! Our picture they took came out beautiful! Thanks Morton's in Reston for making our day special!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is second to noneYoloBDined on 7/25/2014The moment we stepped into the establishment we received outstanding customer service. The staff catered to you every need and made our anniversary special. The food was just as exceptional. I highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just didn't meet high expectationsslobdoggDined on 7/25/2014I've been to Ruth's Cris a few times and think their service, food, and ambience are all topnotch. I expected the same or better at Mortons, but I think each aspect left a little something to be desired. The food was great and cooked as ordered. There were many lags in our service for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately one of these came right after we sat down. The music was just loud enough that coversations were interlaced with many 'whats' during our meal. Worst of all, it was freezing in there. Probably 65 degrees. In a sleeveless dress my wife rubbed her shoulders a few too many times.Special Features:
- GoodViennaLNODined on 7/25/2014Dinner was nice - food was not outstanding. Seared Ahi Tuna was ok - have had better. Ahi Tuna Tower was gross. Staff was very good and prompt service.Special Features:
- Celebration TimeFood4thoughtDined on 7/22/2014Life has not been easy in the single mother role. But we had many reasons to celebrate, so my daughter and I thought it was time. We are carnivores, so steak was easy, and we both sheepishly mentioned Morton's, knowing full well it would bust our budget. The ambience was beautiful, and we scored a seat in one of the booths. Service was great. We both ordered the filet and seafood. The scallops were possibly the star. When we remarked to the front end manager that my daughter's steak was a bit past medium rare, he offered to replace it immediately. She chose to keep it, so we were surprised with a delicious lava cake dessert on the house! We won't be able to afford the restaurant again, but it made a wonderful impression.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is Outstanding/Restaurant LOUDAFannDined on 7/22/2014The food was outstanding but unable to conduct a conversation with the people right across the table.Special Features:
- Best food we've had in a long timeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/13/2014I took my husband for his birthday. From the second we got there everyone made him feel special. From the hostess to the manager who came up to the table...everyone said Happy Birthday to him. They printed a special menu for us and even took our photo and had it printed and placed in cute display for us to take home. Aside from the incredible service the food was worth every penny. It is a great place for a special event but it is pricey. However, worth it. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the potatoes to the brussel sprouts were incredible. We even had the lava cake for dessert. It was made to order and way beyond those other lava cakes you get premade other places. This was a standout dining experience!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still The Best!VictorGGDined on 7/10/2014Excellent steak, terrific service. I visited Morton's twice last week and again this week; the staff was most welcoming, the atmosphere classy, and the filet mignon superb! I very much look forward to the pleasure of dining at Morton's Reston as soon as my schedule allows it. Smoking a cigar in their patio in a nice evening is a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/9/2014We were disappointed in the food this time around. The brussel sprouts were undercooked and the shrimp were over cooked.
- MenuPegleonDined on 7/5/2014We were there for the Morton Anniversary special..We were only given the regular menu and had to ask for the Anniversary menu..Did feel like they were not sharing the menu to the public..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Took great care of usJoeTDined on 7/5/2014We are parents of a less than one year old boy. We had 2 Landry's coupons and had to use them, but couldn't get a baby sitter. So, we brought our boy with us for an early dinner (5:00). Obviously, Morton's is not normally the kind of place you bring an infant -but they welcomed having him there. They served us very quickly (maybe to get the baby out as soon as they could :)) and were exceptionally nice to us and great towards the baby. Their food, of course was exceptional, but the service - especially having a little one in a place not normally in a niche for little ones was really fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SteakJohninVADined on 7/4/2014When we are craving an excellent filet mignon, Morton's is the place we go. The filets are consistently tender, tasty, and well prepared, and the service is attentive. Parking can be difficult in this location, so we appreciate the valet parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/3/2014Very nice to be greeted with friendly smiles and a Happy Birthday for my 17 yr old grandson. Waiter julio was very good in handling his wish for no singing and in bringing in the dessert with a quiet flourish. Steaks were melt in your mouth great and along with the side of macaroni and cheese we had more than enough to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reston location never disappoints1234VIPDined on 7/2/2014Still one of the best Morton's location around. Steak is cooked exactly the temperature you want it. Service is great. One of the few locations that has windows as well.
- Lu2dineVIPDined on 6/30/2014The dining experience was outstanding. Our server was particularly courteous and knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to have him serve us. As always, the steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection and the accompanying sides plus dessert were also excellent. The Morton's special deal offers clearly entice customers to take advantage of them. A truly enjoyable dining experience. We will definitely return to this excellent restaurant.Special Features:
- Kelly was greatOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/29/2014Kelly was an excellent waitress and she made our special day memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionTrishDined on 6/28/2014My husband and I took our best friends out for dinner after their wedding. The staff went above and beyond in our celebration by taking pictures of us and providing personalized menus. We had an excellent time.Special Features:
- Well worth the priceSavtaDined on 6/28/2014The food was flawless - from the bread and butter to dessert. The staff was even better. Every employee we had any interaction with was pleasant and seemed genuine. I felt they wanted us to enjoy our experience and they were going to make sure we did. I gave the Ambience one less star than all my other rating because I felt the dining room was a tad to dark. That won't keep me away though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always love Morton'sKatieCinVADined on 6/27/2014I always enjoy myself at Morton's. Food is always perfection, service is outstanding. Never disappointed there.Special Features:
- Awesome LobsterMidtownfoodieDined on 6/27/2014Went for their special Lobster night and everyone in our group had it. We all agreed, it was the Best Lobster we all had had in a very long time. Their steaks are also top notch!Special Features:
- Morton's has changednoneDined on 6/27/2014I left our last visit to Morton's (Reston) yearning for the "old" days of quiet ambiance and an emphasis on wine bottle-dominated décor and appropriate, attentive service.Special Features:
- Not impressedUnderwhelmingDined on 6/27/2014Expensive, loud, unattractive small table in a corner under a draft, fast speaking waiter who was unintelligeible, undercooked dessert with a coffee that took forever. Just not something I would recommend or ever will repeat.
- Excellent experience all around.DinesOutNightlyDined on 6/25/2014Shrimp cocktail was fresh, large prawns and delicious cocktail sauce. One of the best chop salads ever and the ribeye prime steaks and sauces were perfect in every way. Well marbled. Cooked to precise requested temp. Service was fantastic and champagne pairing couldn't have been better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SeatingOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/24/2014I recommend you request a table or booth away from the bar. Noise level is annoying the closer you are to the bar.I would recommend this to a friend.

Gods, I feel like such a geek for this, but here goes:
According to the Avatar Wiki page on Pandora, the the gas giant the planet's in orbit around (named "Poluphemus", apparently) is itself in orbit around Alpha Centauri A.
The planet's atmosphere is 18% CO2 with a total pressure of 0.9 atmospheres at sea level. That much CO2 would cause a substantial greenhouse effect, warming the planet substantially -- yet the surface temperature is in the range where liquid water can exist. This, coupled with the fact that Alpha Centauri A is 1.5 times as bright as our Sun, means that Pandora/Polyphemus would have to orbit Alpha Centauri A substantially farther away than Earth orbits the Sun.
BUT, Alpha Centauri is a binary star system (trinary if you count Proxima), and at periastron, Alpha Centauri B is only 11.4 A.U. away from Alpha Centauri A. This means ANY object orbiting Alpha Centauri A can't be more than about 2.8 A.U. away from it, or else the perturbations from Alpha Centauri B would throw it out of the star system.
With as much off a greenhouse effect as an 18% CO2 nearly-Earth-pressure atmosphere would have, would 2.8 A.U. even be within the liquid water zone?
