Passive microwave measurements of the Bering Sea ice cover were made with the NASA CV-990 airborne laboratory and with the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) during February 1983 as part of the Bering Sea marginal zone experiment (MIZEX West). Microwave data obtained with the CV-990 include radiances from both imaging and dual-polarized fixed-beam radiometers spanning a range of frequencies from 10 to 183 GHz. The imagery at 19 and 92 GHz provide a description of the marginal ice zone delineating regions of open water, ice compactness, and ice-edge structure. Comparison of these images with ice concentration maps derived from the SMMR data shows that the maps provide an accurate description of the ice edge and interior pack polynyas. Analysis of the fixed-beam data shows that spectral differences increase with a decrease in ice thickness and the polarization at both 18 and 37 GHz distinguishes among new, young, and first-year sea ice types. Finally, these results are shown to agree with surface-based radiometric measurements.

You cannot one picture in this album where our bride and groom are not smiling sweetly. And it's a delight to see because their smiles warm the heart and gives you the sense of perfection and contentment from this lovely wedding day. Also, may I add that giving the reception tables names of songs rather than just plain numbers was a nice creative touch (we love their music taste!)Read More
An Eccentric and Intimate Wedding
Bride: Keep an open mind about EVERYTHING. It's ok to have visions and dreams, but if you set your sights TOO much on having every little thing a specific way, you are almost sure to be disappointed.
Groom: Case in point: you can plan every second of your wedding down to the last detail, but nothing can prevent an ACT OF GOD (such as flooding in Biblical proportions)!Read More
Wedding in Beautiful Garden Colors
This wedding is an epitome of DIY. According to our bride, they did not have any other vendors but themselves and we're totally impressed for that is not an easy task to pull off! Although this album focused mainly on our couple and their entourage, it is undeniable that this wedding came together amazingly. And the mixture of the emerald green and the yellow sunflower was just genius!Read More
Hunger Games Inspired Wedding Shoot
With the release of the penultimate movie for the Hunger Games series, this styled shoot is perfect for those who are a fan of the franchise. The bride and groom were inspired not by the infamous couple Katniss Everdeen & Peeta Mellark, but by the bantering pair, Effie Trinket & Haymitch Abernathy. An unusual pair indeed but they are one of the most striking characters in this series. Effie's bright outfits and jolly personality is the perfect opposite with Haymitch's perpetually sullen mood and this made the album more interesting. Enjoy and may the odds be ever in your favor!Read More

This quickly has become my favorite face brush. It is so useful for applying setting powder, loose or pressed mineral foundation, bronzer, and yes, blush. The bristles are soft, do not shed at all, are easy to clean and always deposit an even layer of powder. I have not used this brush for liquid makeup so I'm not sure how it works in that regard. I've washed and spot cleaned this brush several times and it has retained its shape with no bristle loss. The shape is actually very useful for setting the under eye area. Oh and it's super cheap!! I highly recommend the real techniques brushes and this one is my favorite. If I ever need to, I will definitely repurchase! (Pretty sure the only way this brush is expiring is if my cat decides to steal it!)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this brush! Its such an affordable price, and has not shed one single bit since I purchased it. Sad to say I was in dire need for a new blush brush after my Mac brush kept shedding all over my face :( and this indeed did the job!
I have most of these brushes now, and can't rave enough about them. They don't shed, they clean easily and well - they retain their shape and texture. The blush brush is the best bronzer applicator EVER! It allows for a sheer application, so you don't get hard lines. Congratulations to Sam Chapman for coming up with such brilliant products and making them accessible to US!
I have this brush along with the powder brush from Real Techniques and I love them! They are really soft, and have a nice handle with a grip. I've washed them numerous times and none of the brushes have shed at all. Great buy!
- I use this brush for my face or cheek powders. It's great! It's soft and fluffy, good size and does not shed. The handle is Pink!!!!! It's a nice touch of colour amongst my other brushes. LOVE THIS BRUSH.
- You can get RT brushes for cheap on iherb.com. It's so expensive in OZ. If you do, here's a discount code: ZEH931. $5 off purchase of $10 for orders over $40.
Disappointing. I found this one too big and floppy and not dense enough to give a good blush application.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After the Stippling Brush and the Expert Face Brush, I convinced myself I was in need of a new bronzer brush that wasn't a kabuki (I don't like short handle brushes). So to Boots I went and with it I came back.
The Real Techniques blush brush is not your average blush tool. It is a domed brush made of ultra soft taklon bristles featuring a slightly pointed tip with round chiseled sides. I find it really good for the bronzer task, it swirls around the cheeks leaving the most natural flush of tan. If paired with a good blush, it lights up the complexion as if lit from within rather than just on the apples of your cheeks.
At £9.99, another good achievement by this affordable brand
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this brush for applying bright blush colors because it initially applies a sheer wash of color that can be built up for more intensity. It's a large brush, but the tapered tulip shape prevents it from being too big for my face. The bristles are soft and plush, and I haven't noticed any shedding yet. The price point is absolutely fantastic -- I find this to be comparable quality to MAC or NARS for half the price.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A nice brush overall. It's definitely much larger than I thought it would be from watching the Pixiwoo videos. It applies a nicely diffused wash of color for a soft finish which is very nice. If you want a more defined contour line then perhaps go with a small brush like the MAC 109 or the Real Techniques Expert face brush which is also great at contouring (such an amazing brush). I would repurchase if my brush gets old since it's not too ridiculously expensive.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee o^_____^o
That is how I feel about the Blush Brush the one and only one I have ever loved in my many trial and errors with others. I love the size of it and how soft it is and how much blush it picks up AND how perfect it applies it.
Let's not forget the affordable price tag!

I love using glass jars for storing leftovers; they do not take on the odors and colors of foods, so they are always a clean choice. The lid of the jar advertises that the jar is straight sided so there is no waste and its easy to use. The jar can be used as a canning jar, a food storage jar, a freezer jar, or a refrigerator jar. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or flea bites, and showing only light indications of use. The lid shows light wear to the paint. The jar measures 6 7/8" tall. Shipping will be discounted on multiple orders.

Rap veteran Redman recently divulged on one of the worst tribulations he experienced following the June 2009 passing of iconic singer Michael Jackson.
According to Red, his ordeal took place overseas days after Jackson's unexpected death.
"Let me see, what was the worst experience of my life?," Red said in an interview. "It was like three days, maybe four days after Michael Jackson had passed. I was way out in South America somewhere. 17 hour plane flight type of sh*t. And I got over there and ate some chicken and I got sick as a dog. You understand what I'm talking about? So I got so sick, I know I have such a sensitive stomach that when I eat, and something's not good — it just goes through my body, gives me headaches, gets me delirious." (VEVO)
Continuing his story, Red said he eventually sought medical assistance.
"I ran in the hallway in my underwear," Red added. "I was losing my mind. I was hanging out the window. I thought I had to jump because I was so sick and Michael had just passed four days ago, so I was just delirious from that — It was so bad. I had to have the doctors come into my room, into my hotel room and they hooked me up to an IV and I had to sleep for like three hours — I was away 17 hours from home…I consider that one of the worst experiences of my life." (VEVO)
Outside of traveling down memory lane, Red recently killed the notion of album sales dictating an artist's worth.
"You gotta understand, we're doing a movement," Red said in an interview. "It's not just about record sales. F*ck how many motherf*ckers got the biggest sales and all that. That don't mean sh*t. Motherf*ckers be having high a** sales but not respected in the street, not respected for the culture. It's not about sales no more, it's about a movement. Who's gonna follow that movement? Red and Meth are the smoking movement. Any time we drop an album, y'all should be at the f*cking store, whether you like it or not and buy the f*cking album. December 7th, Reggie." (Best of Both Offices)
Red's latest solo album, Reggie, debuted on the sales chart around mid-December.
Rap veteran Redman's Reggie debuted on the chart this week at No. 118. With seven days under his belt, Red's new album has shelled out 10,600 records to date. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Joe Torre Forgets Old Boss in Hall of Fame Speech Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 28 Jul 2014 post a comment Joe Torre spoke for nearly triple his allotted time at the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. He still forgot to thank his old boss. Torre thanked bench coach Don Zimmer. He thanked Yankees fans. But he forgot to express appreciation to the late George Steinbrenner, the longtime owner of the New York Yankees. Recognizing his mistake, the 74-year-old former Yankees manager shouted to his fellow inductees: "I forgot George!" Greg Maddux, known for his control, spoke for the ten minutes the Hall of Fame honchos set as guideline, as did Bobby Cox. Tony La Russa, Tom Glavine, and Frank Thomas spoke for more than fifteen. Torre, who managed the Yankees to four World Series triumphs in twelve seasons in the Bronx, spoke for 28 minutes. Steinbrenner died in 2010, nearly three years after his breakup with Torre, who was one of three managers earning honors in Cooperstown on Sunday.

This analytical discussion does little to persuade the reader of the merits of the piece beyond formal curiosity. Let his mind be put at rest! He will find a work of wonderful lyricism, of emotional power and intensity and a satisfying range of moods. As Howells's first 'professional' foray into the medium (there is a very early violin sonata written in 1911 for his composition portfolio for entry to the RCM) it is a remarkable addition to the repertory.

O'Donoghue, a long-time journalism teacher who now leads the California
Scholastic Journalism Initiative, warns readers in an op-ed published in
Sunday's Sacramento Bee, Focus
on teacher tenure distracts from schools' real problems, that the Vergara
lawsuit and the focus on changing "tenure" are diverting attention from the
actual challenges facing public education.
A new report issued by Attorney General
Kamala Harris provides additional support for a package of measures that would
help keep students in school, including a CTA-backed bill to provide districts
with more information so that they can intervene early in the academic careers
of at-risk students.
"In School + on Track
2014: the Attorney General's 2014 Report on California's Elementary School
Truancy and Absenteeism Crisis" finds that 90% of students with absence and
truancy problems are youngsters living at or below the poverty level.
Students evidencing high rates of absence and truancy in the early grades are
also drawn disproportionately from among children or color, the report finds.
Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and other state officials are working hard to support efforts by parents and teachers to help keep students in school. They are using a month devoted to "Attendance Awareness" to spread the message about the key connection between good attendance and increased student achievement.
"Children must attend school to learn, succeed, and prepare for a bright future," Torlakson said during a Thursday morning news conference at the state Capitol.
One of the pre-eminent voices in the international education community, Linda Darling-Hammond, in a powerful op-ed in Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle titled "Supporting teachers is the way to improve schools" hits the Vergara v. State of California lawsuit that would undermine key protections for teachers that enable them to advocate for their students.
Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, a former teacher, and Assembly Member Roger Dickinson are working with the community to help ensure that all students in the Sacramento City Unified School District have backpacks and other school essentials.
Voters trust teachers, and they want advice from educators on election issues that affect public schools.
This year more than ever, teachers' voices will be highly valued as parents and other voters decide how to vote in the race for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The Sacramento Bee has done it again – attacked teachers and two pro-education elected officials. In an editorial published on Thursday, "Teacher protections that hurt students are indefensible – unless you're state's top education official", The Bee slams Gov. Brown and Supt. Torlakson for appealing the misguided "Vergara ruling" that would undermine teacher due process and seniority protections.
The organizations representing more than 400,000 California educators today filed an appeal of L.A. Superior Court Rudy Treu's meritless ruling in Vergara v. State of California.
The notice of appeal filed by CTA and the California Federation of Teachers asks the appeals court to reverse the ruling that undermines students' education in California by striking down five provisions of the Education Code.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

She was born Jan. 18, 1931, in St. Marys, the daughter of Adrian ÔÇťHapÔÇŁ and Grace (Langsdon) Howell.
She married Richard Haines II on June 10, 1951, and he survives at the residence.
She is also survived by a daughter, Deborah Stienecker, of St, Marys; and a son, Richard Haines III, of St. Marys.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Ronald Howell.
Donald E. Shroyer, 64, of Wapakoneta, died at 12:25 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011, at St. RitaÔÇÖs Medical Center in Lima.

Reaching an agreement and developing a plan with an electric company to bring a large line to help power a potential end-user in WapakonetaÔÇÖs Jobs Ready Sites is critical, several Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council (WAEDC) board members say.
WAEDC Executive Director Greg Myers said it is vital for the city to have an agreement or at least a plan in place with American Electric Power (AEP) to provide additional electricity to the 471-acre West Central Ohio Industrial Center site, if a company decides to locate there and requires a large electrical load.
BOTKINS ÔÇö Botkins Local School District residents will cast their votes on a 7.99-mill property tax levy on Nov. 8 to build a new school and provide money to maintain those facilities for a maximum of 35 years.
The bond levy will raise the approximate $6.9 million local share of the $24.4 million total project. The school district has done several presentations to the public during the last several months so voters can make an educated vote during the election.
School Superintendent Connie Schneider said district residents are being presented with an opportunity of a lifetime.

Few people will argue Ohio Gov. John Kasich is attempting anything to reduce government spending and balance the state budget, but one piece of legislation in particular is stirring up plenty of attention regarding his methods to reach that goal.
State Issue 2, placed on the ballot as a referendum, would ban public worker strikes and restrict collective bargaining rights for public employees, including teachers, firefighters and police officers. Public employee unions will still be able to negotiate on wages but not on their pension or their health care benefits.

text: Scottish Government Budget CONSULTATION RESPONSE 2011/12 Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee November 2010 Introduction The FSB is Scotland's largest direct-member business organisation, representing around 20,000 members. The FSB campaigns for an economic and social environment which allows small businesses to grow and prosper. We welcome the opportunity to submit our response the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee on the announcement by the Scottish Government of its draft 2011-2012 budget. Context As the draft budget states, Scotland's spending decisions are taken against a backdrop of dramatically reduced expenditure across the UK. The FSB is fully cognisant and supportive of the need to manage public spending more efficiently. However, this coupled with a below-trend growth forecast, require this budget to prioritise economic stimulus in order to ensure that Scotland at least keeps pace with other parts of the UK and Europe and sets the scene for improving its economic competitiveness. For the FSB this means providing support for Scotland's broad business base to enable our businesses to meet the tough challenges ahead, and supporting small existing businesses to create jobs. 1 Maximising income within existing powers The FSB broadly welcomes the proposal by the Scottish Government to redress the balance between town centres and supermarkets/out-of-town retail parks through the introduction of a new rates supplement on the largest such businesses. Scotland has seen a dramatic drop in high street independent retailers in recent years, and while this proposal is not the full answer, we hope that it will create a more level playing field for smaller retailers. We do, however, look forward to seeing the details of the scheme and will examine them carefully to ensure that they will achieve the purposes for which they were intended. Financial and sustainable growth Small Business Bonus The FSB welcomes the Scottish Government's commitment in the draft budget to continue the Small Business Bonus. This is a key course of action which will sustain economic recovery amongst Scotland's broad business base. An estimated one in eight recipients of the Bonus claim that it has contributed significantly to their continued viability during the recent economic downturn. Enterprise agencies Because the current economic climate continues to impose increasing financial pressures on small businesses, the FSB continues to recommend that funding for business support should focus on the existing 290,000 or so small firms (fewer than 50 employees), which have consistently provided stability to Scotland's economy and have a track record of creating jobs1. While high-growth business and international markets or investors present Scotland with opportunities it should not be at the expense of its broad business base. Yet, despite the £7 million cut to the enterprise agencies, it would appear that the majority of funding the draft budget proposes to allocate in support of business (as opposed to foregoing revenue) is either to attract inward investment or for the very small number of elite companies which meet the current threshold criteria for the enterprise agencies. The business support gap left unfilled by Scotland's enterprise agencies urgently needs attention, particularly at a time when local authorities will be seeking to divert funds from less visible budgets and may feel forced to reduce local economic development budgets. Scottish investment fund and loan bank The FSB recognises that loan funds serve a purpose, especially in supporting development and innovation in low carbon technologies and products at a time when finance is particularly scarce for this sector. Investment in low carbon represents an opportunity for Scotland to lead in the business end of this industry. We do not 1 Scottish Corporate Sector Statistics 2010 2 dispute this. However, claiming that the investment bank or loan fund will help Scottish small businesses in any significant way is unrealistic. Low carbon economy The FSB welcomes the priority the draft budget gives to supporting the development of a low carbon economy and encouraging energy efficiency. In recent years, the FSB in Scotland has supported specific measures that promote sustainable economic growth while reducing carbon emissions. These include the introduction of the recently extended Scottish boiler scrapping scheme and the £10 million allocated last year for subsidised and free home insulation. Broadly, the FSB welcomes that funding for the Home Insulation Scheme is to be maintained and looks to clarify if additional funding is available for an extension to the successful boiler scheme. Transport and infrastructure Ferries The FSB was pleased to support the introduction of the Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) pilot scheme and acknowledge that funding for the pilot is outlined within the Draft Budget. An early evaluation report suggested the scheme had contributed to a 19% increase in visitor numbers to the Western Isles and a 22% increase in turnover for local businesses. As outlined in our recent submission to the Ferries Review2, the FSB seeks an extension of the scheme beyond the routes currently participating, to routes where the economic benefits are likely to be replicated. The FSB has concerns that the Vessels and Piers budget, which provides for loans to Caledonian Maritime Assets for the procurement of vessels, has been reduced from £14.8m in 2010/2011 to £8.1m in 2011/2012 and would like to understand what this will mean in practice for the routes Caledonian MacBrayne operates, particularly given the need for more vessels to cover existing demand on the Western Isles routes. Road network The FSB supports the development of a new Forth crossing and understands its pivotal importance for communities and businesses across the country. However, Scotland's small business community is reliant on good, local transport infrastructure with members in Scotland saying that more than half of their turnover comes from their local area. Trams The FSB notes that the draft budget contains the Scottish Government's commitment to a £500 million contribution to the Edinburgh tram project. The FSB's overriding priority for its membership in Edinburgh remains that the remainder of this project gets finished as soon as possible and awaits the publication of Audit Scotland's report into this project in 2011. 2 http://www.fsb.org.uk/policy/rpu/scotland/assets/cr_pti_scottishferriesreview_sept2010.pdf 3 Capital expenditure The Scottish Government's proposal to move £100 million of spend from this year's budget to next year's capital budget is welcome amongst FSB members. At least 57% of respondents the FSB's November 2010 survey considered that investment in physical infrastructure should be one of the Scottish Government's highest priorities. This is particularly necessary, given the construction industry's role in recent economic recovery while at the same time being subjected to ever restricted finance options and increased cash-flow pressures. Small construction businesses particularly have and will continue to suffer from these pressures, both directly and as a result of the collapse of large companies. Planning The FSB welcomes the continued commitment to build on the promising start made by the 'e-planning' in the budget. It is widely recognised that this project has still a way to go before it fully meets its potential or the needs of its users. Local government Local government spending has a significant impact on local businesses. At the top of the list of local authorities delivery areas mentioned in the draft budget is found 'successful local economies'. However, apart from a brief mention of the Small Business Bonus no further mention of local government's role in supporting its local economy is made. The FSB's concern is that in the face of overall cuts, the local economic development budgets will at best be reduced to ineffective levels and at worst disappear completely. Some councils have already published draft spending plans which show this as a likely outcome. This would appear to be at odds with the Scottish Government's professed commitment to stimulate the economy. Procurement The FSB notes the significant savings reported in the draft budget which have been delivered through the Scottish Government's Public Procurement Reform Programme. While this is desired, and indeed necessary, in times when public expenditure must be reduced to meet constraints, the FSB would recommend caution in seeking ever-increasing savings through this route. Over-centralised and onerous procurement processes continue to favour larger companies (by which the FSB means companies of over 50 employees). A possible result of this, will be a public sector that relies too heavily on too few suppliers, which will inevitably drive costs higher in the long term. Conclusion A focus on Scotland's broad business base is vital to achieving the Scottish Government's main aim of sustainable economic growth. While this draft budget appears to recognise this in several places, the main focus remains on the significant challenges faced by the public sector and on how frontline services will be delivered 4 within a more constrained spending environment. This is entirely understandable and the FSB supports the premise that the bulk of public spending available must be allocated to these services. However, as we have highlighted in this response, Scotland's small businesses which will lead the recovery and create the new jobs required, need the right conditions to do so. Most of the funding which the draft budget proposes to allocate to enterprise and economic development does not do this. The most effective element of the budget by far is the continuation of the Small Business Bonus. A relatively small adjustment in the budget may be possible by diverting some of the funding originally earmarked for high-growth firms via the enterprise agencies and allocated to local government for the continuation of local economic development activity for smaller growth businesses. The FSB appreciates the opportunity to submit this written evidence to the Committee and will be happy to continue to take part in this debate. For further information on any of the points raised in this submission, please contact Mary Goodman, Senior Policy Advisor: firstname.lastname@example.com or Martyn McIntyre, Policy Officer: email@example.com t: 0141 221 0775. 5

REQUEST FOR CLEAN-OUT: Paul or somebody else, we need to reduce the database of messages to relax the load on the processor. Can some of the older messages in this topic (say, those before 1 July 08) be deleted, or is the entire topic obsolete and deletable?
Jean will delete messages older than six months on 31 Dec 08 if we do not hear otherwise from somebody before then.

Hey--so apparently I am being hornswaggled into running World League 2009. Which I'm perfectly happy to do. I need someone to:
A) Put up the url of the website that has all the appropriate rules and information (so I can steal them and put them up on my website).
B) Uh, I think that is it until we start trying to get players.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 12:50 pm: Edit
Never mind. I solved (A) myself. 'Cause I am smart. S. M. R. T.
Anyone have any advice? Requests? Opposition to me summarily taking control?
|By Scott Moellmer (Goofy) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 01:41 pm: Edit
Gofer it, Peter.
|By Ken Lin (Old_School) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 03:45 pm: Edit
Peter, when I get home tonight I will be emailing you the following:
1. The main Excel spreadsheet
2. The various Word documents which I save as html, which I then upload
Feel free to use and/or discard. I can also help you with geocities, but it seems like you are already savvy in website creation. Please feel free to lean on me if there's any advice I can give.
Thanks for volunteering to run WL 2009!
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 04:34 pm: Edit
Yeah, I got a website allready. I'll just host the tournament info there.
Thanks for the help!
So I guess this means:
World League 2009 is starting! Well, mostly! The short version is:
-You get a team of 3 people.
-You play round robin games vs other 3 person teams--everyone plays at least 3 games.
-After the first round, enough of the teams get eliminated and advance to the next round to make a squash ladder of 8 teams/4 teams/2 teams/winner.
The rules are currently at the top of this page on Ken's old page. I'll set up a new web page with all the appropriate info in the next few days.
Paul, could an e-mail announcement be made?
|By Andrew J. Koch (Droid) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 05:00 pm: Edit
Hornswaggled is a bit harsh. There may have been some skullduggery though.
|By Ken Lin (Old_School) on Monday, January 26, 2009 - 08:53 pm: Edit
Peter, check your inbox - let me know if you didn't get my emails.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 09:08 am: Edit
Yeah, everything showed up. Thanks!
|By Chris Proper (Duke) on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 12:31 pm: Edit
Well, you can tell I'm tempted.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 09:39 am: Edit
So as I haven't put up a web page yet, I guess the best plan is for people to try and organize teams of three. If you want to be on a team, post here. If you want to organize a team of 3, put up the team of 3 here. I can't really see any harm in posting ship selections here due to the format of the event, but that's me.

Hi guys
I want to form a team called

I'm quite flexible, and available to any team.
|By Andrew J. Koch (Droid) on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 11:33 am: Edit
I'll attempt to roust Ken and Del so Team Yellow Alert can try and defend the title. I think Ken is in, but I have not talked to Del yet. We may have an opening.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 11:46 am: Edit
I was just talking Chris into contacting you and Brook to be Team Lyran :-)
|By Andrew J. Koch (Droid) on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 01:32 pm: Edit
That could tear a hole in the fabric of space time, because it would also be a team of Steeler Fans. Team Terrible Towel(T Cubed)? The Terrible Team? Team One For the Other Thumb? Team Bitterly Disappointed? The mind reels!
There's precedent for the Judge to also play. Chris should be on Team Ithaca, because he, well, lives in Ithaca.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 04:11 pm: Edit
Really? Well, if the Judge can play, Team Ithaca it is!
|By Patrick Hill (Dread_Lord) on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 08:36 am: Edit
I personally don't have any problem with the Judge playing, so I say go for it!
Also I am available representing Philly!

Pecatonica River Cleanup set for July 29
By Brendan Walsh
United Sportsmen's Company
The United Sportsmen's Youth Foundation (USYF) is hosting the Ninth Annual Pecatonica River Cleanup Sunday, July 29, teaching kids by example. Dozens of local conservationists will volunteer to take their canoes/pontoons/Jon boats and even inner tubes down the tranquil Pecatonica River.
For nearly a decade, the Youth Foundation has been teaching kids land stewardship and the values of our river ecosystems.
The USYF volunteers will clean the river from the Wisconsin state line to the confluence of the Pecatonica, where it meets the Rock River in Rockton, about a 100-mile stretch of river. Quite a project!
The Youth Foundation awards trophies for the following:
1. Kids (team of two) who get the most garbage;
2. Boat that gets the most garbage out of the river;
3. Family that gets the most garbage;
4. Most unusual garbage;
5. Single-largest piece of garbage; and
6. Most garbage by team off shoreline.
Students can also get the community service hours for their school project or résumé.
The Youth Foundation annually gets huge truckloads of garbage out of the Pecatonica River. We find interesting garbage such as old tires, dozens of pop cans with pull tabs from the 1970s, barrels full of oil and toxic waste.
Together, we are making a huge difference. Each year, we have to go farther to fill up our boats.
Join USYF from 7 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, July 28, for our Pecatonica River Cleanup Fund-raising Cookout, auction, raffles and live music to be held at Rock Hollow Hunt Club, 1931 Illinois 75, Freeport, Ill. Lots of fun, and camp by the river!
Grab a local kid or friend and lead by example. Kids are the future!
Reserve a canoe for only a $25 donation. Land crews also needed. The Youth Foundation is also hiring several large Jon boats and mud motors for $25 per hour. Please call (815) 599-5690 for more information or to volunteer.
Also, volunteers are needed to help organize the picnic following the river cleanup. You can help by making brownies, fruit salad, etc.
The Youth Foundation is in need of sponsors. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Order your USYF River warrior T-shirts for only $25 each. Help support the cause. Visit www.usyf.org.
From the July 18-24, 2012, issue

I am interested in contacting those persons who are descendants of Richard More. I am a descendant and Mayflower Society member based on ancestry from him and others.
I have English documents regarding his ancestry which I can share.
And, as he was the only Mayflower person with proven royal ancestry, I have found that his ancestors were many of the royal and historic persons of the Middle Ages, and would be happy to share my research in this regard.
Two recent books by Douglas Richardson document much of this ancestry - Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Carta Ancestry.

AE Fuel Cells™
Specializing in Cathode, Electrolyte, Anode and Interconnect Powders,
Nanopowders (Nanoparticles) and Inks for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs),
American Elements' fuel cell group provides the raw materials necessary
to produce a highly compatible thin film electrochemistry with
excellent thermal expansion matching.
American Elements manufactures numerous Perovskite-type fuel cell materials via solid state synthesis under the trademark AE Fuel Cells™. These materials include Lanthanum Strontium Manganite (LSM), Lanthanum Strontium Ferrite (LSF), Lanthanum Strontium Cobaltite Ferrite (LSCF), Lanthanum Strontium Chromite (LSC), and Lanthanum Strontium Gallate Magnesite (LSGM) with doping levels, surface areas and other parameters to customer specifications; Nickel Cermet compositions with YSZ (Yttria stabilized Zirconia) doping, physical levels, and PSDs (particles size distribution) controlled; and ionically conductive electrolytes such as YSZ, Lanthanum Strontium Manganite (SCZ), Gadolinium doped Ceria (GDC), Samarium doped Ceria (SDC), and Yttrium doped Ceria (YDC).
Cathode Materials - Solid oxide fuel cell cathodes are electronically conductive and stable in oxidizing environments. They are crystalline Perovskite structures allowing for doping on both an "A" and "B" site. Lanthanum Manganite doped with Strontium is an example of a material with a single doping site; though greater strontium levels will enhance reactivity, levels too high can cause adhesion with the electrolyte during operation. Lanthanum Strontium Cobaltite Ferrite is an example of a material with dual doping sites. Lanthanum Strontium Manganite has an excellent thermal expansion match with Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes; it is highly electronically conductive and has proven long term stability. Lanthanum Strontium Chromite is available as both a cathode and as an interconnect. When fired in a fuel cell layer, American Elements' Cathode Powders, Nanopowders or Inks will partially sinter to form well-defined necks and open gas paths to permit simultaneous gas and electrical transfer.
Electrolyte Materials - American Elements produces fuel cell electrolyte powders and nanopowders suitable for tape casting, air spray, extrusion, and sputtering applications. American Elements' Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ, or Zirconium Oxide stabilized with Yttrium Oxide) makes a robust electrolyte that is purely ionically conductive (i.e. with no electronic conductivity) and operates in a wide range of partial pressures. Typical operating temperatures ranges from 900 - 1,000 ºC. Gadolinia doped Ceria or GDC (Cerium Oxide stabilized with Gadolinium Oxide, Yttria doped Ceria or YDC (Cerium Oxide stabilized with Yttrium Oxide), and Samaria doped Ceria or SDC (Cerium Oxide stabilized with Samarium Oxide) form a class of electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity and lower operating temperatures (< 700 ºC) than YSZ. They however operate at narrow partial pressure ranges and will electronically conduct if operated at lower partial pressures. Doped Ceria also tends to reduce from the cerous to the ceric state in open circuit conditions. Scandia Stabilized Zirconia or SCZ (Scandium Oxide stabilized with Zirconium Oxide) is three times more ionically conductive than yttria stabilized zirconia and operates efficiently below 800 °C.
Anode Materials - American Elements group of SOFC anode powders and Nanopowders are various Nickel Cermet compositions of nickel oxide and yttria stabilized zirconia to produce a fired thin film layer with optimal doping levels and particle mix. The proportion of Nickel to YSZ reflects a trade off between stability (YSZ) and conductivity (Nickel) which must be balanced to prevent coarsening during operations and maximize the long term stability of the fuel cell. American Elements provides guidance to help customers select an anode composition compatible with the balance of their chosen electrochemical system.

American Elements works closely with the major U.S., European, Australian and Japanese efforts to develop a cost effective solid oxide fuel cell electrochemistry by manufacturing customer specified, and American Elements invented, proprietary compositions for research and data development. Release of the SOFC Product Group on American Elements online catalog reflects an American Elements desire to foster greater entrepreneurial research and funding of fuel cell development.
American Elements provides customer guidance on topics such as thermal compatibility of layers, thermal cycling, thermal expansion, electrolyte densities, co-firing conditions, long term stability, ink rheology, physical adhesion barriers, cermet microstructures, and circuit efficiency. A complete electrochemical lab allows for testing electrolyte resistivity, densities, coarsening and other parameters.
American Elements maintains industrial scale production for all its fuel cell products annually producing tonnage of anode and electrolyte powders and hundreds of kilograms of cathode materials.
American Elements will execute Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreements to protect customer know-how.
