Bureau of Environmental Analysis and Restoration
The State of New Jersey receives funds under Section 319(h) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq., commonly referred to as the federal Clean Water Act (CWA)). Under the federal guidelines, each state may pass through a portion of 319(h) funds to other entities to reduce water quality impairment through implementation of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control projects. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Department) must award at least 50% of the federal grant to projects that implement approved watershed-based plans. The remainder of the pass-through amount can be used for other NPS-related projects
For SFY 14, the Department anticipates receiving federal funds under Section 319(h) of the CWA and intends to award these pass-through grants for projects which advance Comprehensive Water Resource Management (CWRM). Under CWRM, the Department will evaluate the water resources management issues of each region to ensure that identified problems are addressed comprehensively and holistically, with the most efficient and effective use of both regulatory and non-regulatory tools and partnerships, to achieve measureable environmental outcomes. The Department, along with its partners, invested significant resources in characterizing the causes of water quality impairments in several watersheds and has found that reducing NPS pollution will be key to meeting water quality objectives in those watersheds. There are also overarching issues, i.e., addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improving resiliency to storm events like Superstorm Sandy, that will be advanced by implementing NPS reduction strategies, including green infrastructure, living shorelines and environmental education.
The Department is requesting proposals from organizations and governmental entities for the purpose of implementing: (1) approved watershed-based plans or total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in the Barnegat Bay and the non-tidal Raritan River Watersheds, (2) green infrastructure projects within drainage areas that are hydraulically connected to areas with documented CSOs and environmental education initiatives that advance these goals or (3) natural solutions, such as the creation of living shorelines, to address erosion and water quality issues as an alternative that adds diversity to other shore protection measures in tidally influenced areas. In addition, the Department received discretionary funds that are for specific, dedicated purposes, which are also described in the RfP.
SFY 2014 RfP for the 319(h) grant program

I have had a letter from Mr. Trine[6]* asking me to have some classes at the Procopeia[7]* in February. I do not see my way to go to Boston in February, however I may like it. I have given up for the present my plan of going to Detroit and Chicago in February. Later on I will try. Miss [Josephine] Locke will see to my having classes in Chicago and I have some friends in Detroit I may go to Baltimore for a few days in the meanwhile. I enjoyed my visit with the Leggetts exceedingly. It has braced me for further work. I am very well both physically and mentally.

NEW IN TOWN: Bruno Frisoni, creative director of Roger Vivier, is currently in Tokyo to fete the footwear brand's first store in the city.
"I think among the places in the world that are significant in fashion, Tokyo is one of the main places. So it's very important for us to be here," Frisoni said. "After Paris, London [and] New York, probably Tokyo is one of the most important places. Japanese people are totally addicted to fashion."
Roger Vivier's Tokyo store, its second point of sale in Japan, is a 990-square-foot space located inside the Matsuya department store in Tokyo's upscale Ginza district. It opened on Sept. 14. The brand already had a store in Osaka.
Sabine Brunner, general manager of Roger Vivier, said that the Tokyo opening has come later than originally anticipated, but the brand is happy to be expanding in Japan and hopes to open another five to six stores here within the next two to three years.
"I think we need to cover the most important department stores for the moment, and when we're big we'll have a freestanding store," Brunner said.

Mold Spore Trap Analysis, Fast & Easy to Understand
In a Mold Analysis Laboratory There is No Substitute for Experience
Mold Testing Labs when Health Symptoms are of Concern
Air Allergen & Mold Testing has focused on mold and its effect on our health for many years. We have now integrated that knowledge with spore trap and other mold analysis into a mold lab report, unique in the industry, to better meet the needs of those who provide and explain the report to their clients.
In addition to the customary identification of mold spore types and quantity, our spore trap reports separate mold spore types into relevant groups and features a photograph of what is found on the spore trap trace together with particulate identification and count.
Photographic Evidence
Our mold testing laboratory reports include a photograph taken by our microscope camera of mold spores found in a sample that represent the condition of the indoor environment. This will allow you to better explain the mold sample analysis and its significance to your client.
Background Particulates
Identified and Quantified
Commonly used spore traps also capture particulate from the sampled air. Some particulate can cause allergy symptoms even when mold spore counts are low. The combination of high particulate counts with elevated mold spore levels can make symptoms even worse. The amount and type of particulates can therefore be significant in resolving issues for your clients.
Most environmental labs list the background levels of particulates in spore traps as low, moderate or high. Air Allergen & Mold Testing enumerates the background particulate and identifies the kind of particulates recovered. If specific particulates need to be identified in more depth, a Material Science analysis is also available.
Use of Three Agars to Culture Bulk, Dust and Swab Samples
Most mold labs use only one or two agar for identifying and enumerating mold colonies on culture plates. Air Allergen uses a three agar system for culturing bulk, swab and dust samples.
Health Effects
and Remediation Guidelines
Our mold analysis report also includes a glossary and an organism list describing the type of mold spores recovered and their potential health effects, as well as remediation guidelines and links to web sites that can assist in remediation.
Phone and On-Line Consultation
We are available to you for phone or on-line consultation at no additional cost, to assist you when solutions for the mold analysis findings are not apparent. You may reach both our remediation specialists and lab microbiologist at 770-938-4861.

Dr. Singer is considered one of the world's leading experts on changes in 21st century warfare. He has consulted for the US Military, Defense Intelligence Agency, and FBI, as well as advised a wide-range of entertainment programs, including for Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Universal, HBO, Discovery, History Channel, and the video game series Call of Duty, the best-selling entertainment project in history. He served as coordinator of the Obama-08 campaign's defense policy task force and was named by the President to the US Military's Transformation Advisory Group. He has provided commentary on military affairs for nearly every major TV and radio outlet, including ABC-Nightline, Al Jazeera, BBC, CBS-60 Minutes, CNN, FOX, NPR, and the NBC Today Show.
In addition to his work on conflict issues, Singer is a member of the US State Department's Advisory Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. He has been quoted in every major U.S. newspaper and news magazine and delivered speeches at a range of venues including the U.S. Congress, South by Southwest, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, TED, the royal court of the UAE and over 75 universities around the world. In the entertainment sector, he has received awards/support from the Tribeca Film Institute, Sloan Filmmakers Fund, Film Independent, and FAST Track at the L.A. Film Festival.
His first book Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry (Cornell University Press) pioneered the study of the new industry of private companies providing military services for hire, an issue that soon became important with the use and abuse of these companies in Iraq. It was named best book of the year by the American Political Science Association, among the top five international affairs books of the year by the Gelber Prize, and a "top ten summer read" by Businessweek. It is now in the assigned texts at venues ranging from Yale Law School to the Army War College. Singer advised the Department of Defense, CIA, and the European Union on the issue and helped bring to light the role of private contractors in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal and the Halliburton controversies in Iraq.
Dr. Singer's following book, Children at War (Pantheon) was the first to comprehensively explore the compelling and tragic rise of child soldier groups and was recognized by the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book of the Year Award. Singer served as a consultant on the issue to the Marine Corps and Congress, and the recommendations in his book resulted in changes in the UN peacekeeping training program. An accompanying History Channel documentary, "Child Warriors," won a CINE Golden Eagle Award for excellence in the production of film, television, video and new media.
His next book, Wired
for War (Penguin), introduced the implications of robotics and other new technologies for war, politics, ethics, and law in the 21st century. Described as "awesome" by Jon Stewart of the Daily Show, Wired for War made the NY Times non-fiction bestseller list in its first week of release. It was named a non-fiction Book of the Year by The Financial Times and featured at venues as diverse as all three US military academies, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, TED, and the royal court of the UAE. The book was made an official reading of the US Air Force, US Navy, US Army, and the Royal Australian Navy.
Singer's most recent book Cybersecurity
and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University
Press) s structured around answering the key questions we all face in the cyber age (how it all works, why it all matters, and what we can do?). It was described by the Chairman of Google as "an essential read" and by the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO as "the most approachable and readable book ever written on the cyber world." The book has been added to the US Navy and US Army professional reading lists and featured at venues like the Microsoft CEO Summit and South by Southwest festival.
Prior to his current position, Dr. Singer was the founding Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution. He was the youngest scholar named Senior Fellow in Brookings' 98-year history. Prior to that, he was the founding Director of the Project on U.S. Policy Towards the Islamic World at Brookings, where he was the organizer of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, a global leaders conference. He has also worked for the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard, the Balkans Task Force in the U.S. Department of Defense, and the International Peace Academy. Singer received his Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University and a BA from the Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

Sometimes, the best way to get a handle on the unpredictable is to label it with a completely random numerical value. Oddsmaking is a combination of magical thinking, intuition and sheer chance. With that in mind, here are the odds that Vegas bookmakers might want to give to the following world events:
1. North Korea starts a war with South Korea: 10% My biggest fear is that the West believes that North Korea does not actually feel threatened and is simply posturing. But that assumption has almost never, ever held water for any conflicts. It's been a huge blind spot; us assuming that our sense of rationality applies in a world governed by semi-rational statecraft principles. Still, Kim Jong Un is not entirely cosseted by peoples unaware of world norms.
2. Immigration reform passes: 40% chance. There is significant progress in both the Senate and the House, and the rumblings of a revolt from conservatives remains rhetorical at the moment. Still, the spirit of cooperation that now exists might be the high point.
3. A grand bargain is reached on the budget: 30% chance. With both Democrats and Republicans having "won" a victory, and with President Obama attempting genuine outreach, even as his aides talk behind his back, the environment for a deal becomes more favorable. The apeture closes by this winter, however, as the midterm election mindset will crowd out any other consideration.
4. Odds that the following smartphones will do the most for their respective company's long-term growth.
(A) the Apple 5S - 20% -- If there's an NFC chip and biometric recognition software and the battery improves, the stage will be set for something entirely wowrific with the iphone 6. Expectations for the 5S seem unusually low, probably because no one is able to think of things they want their phone to be able to do. Phones already do them.
(B) The Samsung Galaxy s4 - 20% -- I may replace my iPhone with this model, but that's only because of basic issues like storage, battery and the ability to handle multuiple social media apps at once. None of the cool features strike me as particularly cool.
(C) Facebook Home - 60% -- a huge boost to HTC, which gets to make the Facebook interface. And Facebook has the data to turn the smartphone into something requiring a neologism.
The toy I'd most want to play with: a bendable, flexible screen. That's a year off at least.
5. Odds that Sarah Palin runs for president: 50/50. She won't be able to play the role she wants to play in the national conversation without formally re-affiliating with the Republican Party, and my guess is she tests the waters, at the very least.

Idaho Landscape Painter
Welcome to my website
For 24 years I have been painting the unique landscape of Idaho. Over 500 of my paintings hang in homes and offices throughout the U.S., along with some international clients. Idaho is a land of tremendous diversity: high deserts, alpine forests, rolling foothills, rugged mountains, meadows, wild rivers, and agricultural valleys. It is a painter's candy store.
It is more than candy, however. This land is evocative. It reminds us of ourselves in its forms and contours. It reminds us that we, too, come from ancient ancestors, taking a long time to reach the point of this moment. Its vastness suggests the length of life, and its fragility reminds us of our vulnerabilities. As light plays over its surfaces, we see the drama in our own lives and feel the excitement of being here at all.
This is why I love painting this land.
Please go to the Paintings Page to see my work.

Public art, theatre rentals, entertainment, and more.
In just the past month, Denver Animal Shelter has seen more than 50 cases of parvovirus in stray and owner surrender dogs coming into the shelter. Canine parvovirus (parvo) is severely contagious, preventable virus that is often fatal in young dogs. To help prevent the spread of this deadly virus, Denver Animal Shelter will be offering free parvovirus vaccinations for dogs 1 year and under on a walk-in basis from August 3–31.
What is Parvovirus?
Parvovirus is a virus that attacks a dog's gastrointestinal tracts. Puppies are most at-risk for contracting parvo, but all dogs can be affected. The virus is transmitted through the feces and vomit of infected dogs and puppies. The virus can live in feces for about two weeks and can exist in the environment (floors, surfaces, etc.) for many months. Because it is so difficult to kill, the virus is easily transmitted by "fomites" such as the hands, clothing, or shoes of anyone who comes in contact with it. Some common symptoms include:
· Lethargy
· Loss of appetite
· Fever
· Vomiting
· Severe diarrhea (usually bloody and/or foul smelling)
The severe vomiting and diarrhea in dogs often causes extreme dehydration, and can become fatal quickly (within 48 to 72 hours). If you see your dog displaying symptoms of Parvovirus infection, take them to see your veterinarian immediately. The virus can become fatal rapidly and the recovery process can be lengthy and very costly.
Although the virus can attack dogs and puppies of any age, it is most commonly found in dogs under one year old. The highest incidence is seen in puppies 6 to 24 weeks old.
How is Parvovirus Prevented?
Protecting your dog from parvovirus is easy. The best (and only) way to do this is to vaccinate them against the virus and keep them under control; dogs allowed to roam are more likely to come into contact with the virus. Because puppies are the most at-risk, vaccinations are usually recommended at 6 weeks of age, and then need to be boostered at 9, 12, and 16 weeks.
Denver Animal Shelter is located at 1241 W. Bayaud Ave. Free Parvo vaccinations are offered on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p. m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Denver Animal Shelter also offers a reduced fee vaccination clinic every Saturday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. which includes rabies, distemper/parvo, and a 1-year license for just $35.

Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is the variety of Vegas cardsharp known as a "blaster": He plays hard and bets big. Huck also loses big, but has the skill (and it all comes down to skill; luck and poker have little to do with each other) to quickly turn the paltry $300 he gets from pawning his late mother's wedding ring and his roommate's digital camera into a couple hundred thousand dollars. But he loses it all again nearly as fast. Huck knows the secret to the game lies in knowing how to watch and understand what he's seeing, not just the cards but his opponents, and he's become an expert at reading other people. After all, Huck learned from the best: His father is L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall), a two-time World Series of Poker champ who taught Huck how to play the game, but neglected the facts of life away from the table. Huck hasn't forgiven his father for putting poker ahead of his family — Huck's late mother left after L.C. pawned her wedding ring one time too many — and, in a sense, Huck's own career has been one long competition with his dad. Huck hopes to face off against L.C. in the upcoming World Series, assuming he can hold onto the mandatory $10,000 stake long enough to enter the tournament. But as well as Huck reads other peoples' "tells," he doesn't quite know what to make of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore, in a welcome shift to a slightly more adult role), a confusingly sincere and disarmingly honest girl from Bakersfield who hopes to make it in Vegas as a singer. Billie, however, has Huck's number: She knows a compulsive gambler who can't commit to anything beyond the next high-stakes game when she sees one.
Set in 2003, the year the game of poker was poised to become a massively popular spectator sport thanks to the tiny "card cams" that suddenly allowed an audience to see each player's exact hand, the film also captures always-evolving Las Vegas at yet another crossroads. While Hanson tracks down remnants of old Vegas — the El Cortez Hotel, Dino's ("The Last Neighborhood Bar in Las Vegas") and the old White Cross Pharmacy — it's clear that the city has been transformed into a destination spot for families and high-rolling newcomers who, inspired by the surprise success of amateur online player Chris Moneymaker, are now daring to venture beyond the Internet and step into an actual casino. Hanson and Roth's script works the poker-as-metaphor-for-life angle a little too hard, and the script is full of instantly quotable lines that sound more like sound bites than dialogue. But it successfully clears the major hurdle faced by any movie dependant on the rules of a game not everyone plays. There's always a commentator on hand to explain exactly what's going on, and Barrymore's Billie is enough of a neophyte to require a quick rundown of exactly what's happening once the well-staged games get underway. leave a comment --Ken Fox

The trailer for Springsteen & I, the upcoming Bruce Springsteen documentary from director Baillie Walsh (Oasis: Lord Don't Slow Me Down), is due July 22.
The trailer features footage of Bruce onstage, along with self-shot footage from fans giving their takes on what it means to be a fan.
Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus) produced the film, saying that it's truly a collaboration between fans and the Boss.
"This beautifully crafted film provides a unique insight into the powerful bond between a recording artist and those who connect so profoundly with his music," Scott said.
The film is described as "by the fans, for the fans" and, in addition to new footage, features previously unseen footage, revealing "how 40 years of iconic music became the soundtrack to so many lives."

Raise your hand if you've ever committed the following eating sins:
-Eaten Chinese food straight from the carton while standing up, refrigerator door open.
-Scarfed down lunch at your desk while playing around on Facebook.
-Picked at the giant plate of nachos your friends ordered, even though you weren't hungry.
Sound familiar? It certainly does for me. That's because mindless eating is everywhere. Whether we desktop dine or devour while driving, the opportunity to eat on automatic is omnipresent, made all the more attractive by oversized portions and our crazy-busy lifestyles.
You'd think the binge-like practice would disappear at Thanksgiving, as we sit down and give thanks for the food we're about to enjoy. But for many of us, T Day is a food frenzy of freakish proportions. Turkey is gobbled, mashed potatoes are inhaled, dessert is consumed as if we were in the pie-eating contest in Stand By Me.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a Mindful Eating session with Mary Horn, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist at the Vail Vitality Center in Vail, CO. During our time together, Horn guided myself and a few other writers through the process of eating with intention -- actually tasting the food instead of just chewing and swallowing. For the first time since perhaps childhood, I called on all of my senses as I ate a grapefruit, smelling the crisp citrus, feeling the thousands of little juicy pods bursting on my tongue. It took me 10 minutes to eat that grapefruit, and it was delicious in a whole new way.
"Mindful eating slows us down," Horn explains. "That allows your body's natural feedback systems to help you understand when you've eaten enough. Your stomach is only the size of a fist. Think of how much we put past it." The result: We push away from the table feeling overstuffed and, quite often, guilty.
Eating mindfully is like building a muscle: You have to exercise it every day to get stronger. Unfortunately, I forgot about my grapefruit experience all too soon, and was back to mechanically scarfing meals within a matter of days. So I called Horn up to gather some tips for eating mindfully this Thanksgiving. Warning: The advice below may sound hokey at first, but I promise you, they work, don't require all that much effort, and can take eating to a whole new level.
1. When you sit down, visually take in all of the food before you. Take a moment to be grateful to the earth, the sun and the rain for creating such nourishment.
2. Look around at the people you love, and thank them (silently or out loud) for the delicious food they've prepared…or for their willingness to always listen to you…whatever makes them who they are.
3. Before your first bite, smell your food. The cherry scent of the pinot noir, the earthy mulled cider, the savory turkey breast. Take a moment to savor the beauty of the smell, as it enhances your overall eating experience (think about when you're sick with a stuffy nose -- you can't taste a thing).
4. Feel the texture of the food as it works its way into your mouth. Experience "the pungent crack of cranberries, the crunchy roasted nuts, the smooth and creamy pumpkin pie."
5. Listen to the sounds of the Thanksgiving table. Wine being poured into stemware. Stuffing being plopped onto plates. The music in the background. Your family laughing.
Once you become more accustomed to mindful eating, you can use it to guide your food choices. Instead of eating a boring yogurt with a banana because it seems like the "right" thing for breafast, you let your intuition and real hunger guide you. Maybe what you're truly craving is a satisfying, creamy-crunchy combination like peanut butter on toast. When you tap into your needs and eat only for the present moment, Horn says you'll often feel satisfied with less food so you can indulge in once-decadent choices without gaining weight. (It goes against the low-fat mentality of the 90s, but a few bites of old-fashioned fudge has fewer calories -- and will do less damage -- then a half-sleeve of fat-free "chocolate-y chip" cookies.)
Wishing everyone a happy, mindful Thanksgiving!

"Holy shit!"An Exactly What It Says on the Tin movie, clearly aiming for Cool Versus Awesome. Whether it reaches it is up to you.A prehistoric giant octopus and a Megalodon shark have been frozen in an Alaskan glacier for millions of years when they're suddenly freed by illegal sonar experiments / a panicked pod of whales / a crashing helicopter / global warming / ice melting due to the proximity of a Hot Scientist in a minisub — it's not clear which. They immediately take up where they left off — eating everything in, on, and even above the ocean in order to fuel their vast bulk. Two Hot Scientists, a Professor and a Jerk Ass Man In Black— aided by the US and Japanese navies — team up to combat this undersea menace.As with most Asylum films, the action sequences are few, and rely on terrible CGI, but the writing and acting are dramatic enough to endear it to some fans, particularly those of the Kaiju genre.Followed by Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus and Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark.The Angry Video Game Nerd, on Cinemassacre, has reviewed this movie in "Top 40 Shittiest Shark Movies."It seems to have spawned a subgenre of its own, as there are now several other films of the "Mega [Insert Animal Name]" variety, including Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. The two animals were even merged in Sharktopus, by another studio.

Last year, we started posting short reviews of budget smokes, those that we keep for yard works and other not-so-special occasions. It turned out to be quite a good idea as we received a lot of encouraging comments and e-mails. Of course, we are going to continue the series in 2010. Here is the list of cheap cigars that we reviewed in 2009:
One Comment on "2009 Cheap Smokes – list of our favorite budget cigars"
A man after my own cheapness. I like a good cogar as much as anyone but, I am just way too cheap to spend $20 a day on stogies. Some of these I have smoked as the "buck a stick" brands and they are not bad. Good list!

"If all else fails, you'll just have to play better."A Video Game trope related to Easy-Mode Mockery, this is when a game (or related media, such as the instruction manual) taunts players trying to find help, either by inserting useless "hints" sections that only insult the player, by not providing help at all or by telling you to play the game like a real man if it does provide some sort of tips. Especially common in older games, where it would be followed by an invitation to check out the new fancy Strategy Guide for only $50!

New Polysafe keeps babies safe at Paper Moon
New Polysafe Wood FX decorative sheet vinyl safety flooring – recently launched by commercial flooring specialist Polyflor Ltd – is helping keep babies safe at the Paper Moon Day Nursery in Nottingham.
"The floorcovering is ideal for our feeding, washing and wet play areas," says Natalie Smith the nursery's manager "The Silver Wood timber effect design is good to look at, the floor is easy to clean and best of all it helps reduce the risk of our staff slipping and falling when dealing with very young children."
Installed at the nursery by locally-based flooring contractor Forrester Flooring, Polysafe Wood FX is available in eight realistic timber styles and has a wide appeal across a commercial facility. Especially suitable for child care facilities, hospital wards, corridors, general circulation areas and front of house reception areas, Wood FX can also be also be used in traditional use areas such as bathrooms and toilets where there are risks of contaminant spillages and slip resistance is required.
The outstanding decorative appeal of the flooring is fully matched by its slip resistant performance. In common with all Polysafe ranges, Polysafe Wood FX complies fully with HSE guidelines, providing sustained slip resistance throughout the guaranteed life of the product. The range also achieves 36+ on the RRL Pendulum wet test (Slider 96/Four S rubber) with a surface roughness of 20 microns and above to ensure a low slip risk classification is achieved. The sustained slip resistance of Polysafe Wood FX is achieved by the incorporation of clear aluminium oxide throughout the wear layer, with aggregates specially formulated to ensure excellent clarity of design.
As well as compliance with HSE guidelines, Polysafe Wood FX meets the performance requirements of EN13845, the European Norm for safety flooring, and, fully tested to fire safety standard EN13501-1, is certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the criteria EN ISO 9239-1 8kw/m² and the mandatory requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.

LITITZ, Pa. (AP) - A central Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disappeared after dropping off her children for school 11 years ago has surfaced in Florida and has told police she traveled there on a whim with homeless hitchhikers, slept under bridges and survived by scavenging food and panhandling, authorities said Wednesday.
Brenda Heist, 53, had been declared legally dead, Lititz Borough Police Det. John Schofield said. The detective said he met with her in Florida on Monday and she expressed shame and apologized for what she did to her family.
Heist was going through an amicable divorce in 2002 when she got some bad news about future housing plans, Schofield said. She was crying in a park when some strangers befriended her, then invited her to join them as they began a monthlong hitchhiking journey to south Florida, he said.
Her ex-husband got the courts to declare her legally dead two years ago and he has remarried, Schofield said.
"She has a birth certificate and a death certificate so she's got a long ways to make this right again," Schofield said. "She's got to take it slow with her family, I'm sure, and it's going to be a long process."
Inside her home the day Heist disappeared, dinner was defrosting and the laundry was half done. Police located her car in a neighboring county but none of her personal belongings were taken.
When Schofield called to meet with her ex-husband Lee Heist and their daughter, they assumed he would be notifying them that her remains were found, the detective said.
Lee Heist struggled financially after his wife disappeared, losing his job and his house, the detective said. She had been a bookkeeper at a car dealership.
Heist turned herself in to police in Key Largo, Fla., on Friday, regarding some outstanding warrants, and then informed them she was a missing person. She had apparently been homeless for the past two years, most recently living in a tent community run by a social service agency.
"She said she was at the end of her rope, she was tired of running," said Schofield.
For about seven years she lived with a man in a camper in Key West and worked odd jobs. Schofield said she never had access to a computer and never checked to see if she was being sought, although she assumed she was.
Heist's daughter is now a West Chester University sophomore, and her son recently graduated from the same college.
Schofield said police in Florida were trying to sort out the warrants issue, but she was expected to be released soon, perhaps later on Wednesday.
She has a brother in Florida and another brother and her mother live in Texas, Schofield said.

a problem that the approach uses negative weights for part of the signal? The ultimate goal here is to eliminate or reduce stratospheric contributions to middle troposphere temperature trends. As described in Line 184, about 10 percent of the weight of Channel 2 comes from the stratosphere, but the integrated weight for Fu et al. weighting function is near zero. As stated on Line 187, the stratospheric contamination on TMid-Trop trends is about 0.05 K/decade, while the trend uncertainty due to the uncertainty in derived coefficients in the Fu et al. method is only about 0.01 K/decade. The potential for incorrect stratospheric temperatures to corrupt the mid-tropospheric values should receive greater emphasis in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. In conclusion, the Fu et al. method appears to reduce stratospheric contributions and may represent a valuable resource for this report. The report could, if appropriate, include references to more recent work of Fu et al. and possibly other authors. The new papers might give more insights on controversial issues of negative weights in the Fu et al. method and its impacts on trends. The Fu et al. (2004) reference on line 487 is missing in the chapter's references.
2. The report gives a very even-handed discussion of the reasons for different trend estimates by UAH and RSS. Is there any way to go further, for example by stating which approach is better or proposing ways to reconcile the two approaches? Would the authors recommend further statistical analyses? If so, what form should these take? It appears to be the case that, although issues with diurnal corrections and the calibration target are important, these are not the major reason why the two groups obtain different trend estimates. These differences appear to hinge on the different treatments of the NOAA-9 satellite. It may be possible to do better using Bayesian statistical methods. For example, one could treat the unknown shift of the time series (resulting from the change of satellites) as a parameter with a prior distribution, construct a posterior distribution by analyzing data from both satellites, and then integrate out that posterior distribution using Monte Carlo methods to derive a reconstructed time series that allows for uncertainty in the shift. This method could potentially work better than current methods when there is only a very limited amount of overlapping data. In lines 294-300, the authors use the lack of a diurnal correction in the University of Maryland (UMD) dataset as an excuse for not discussing it. Because of the differences between UAH and RSS and the small residual uncertainty from diurnal sampling, it could be informative to use the UMD dataset as an independent check to understand and possibly reconcile the differences between UAH and RSS. The suggestion that the correction for target temperature is a function of latitude (or orbit relative to the Sun), as done by the UMD group (Grody et al., 2004), but not by UAH and RSS, is an interesting one and builds in some diurnal cycle corrections. These issues ought to be discussed openly.
3. Overall, the satellite uncertainty is summarized in detail and in depth, while the radiosonde uncertainty is described in less detail and less quantitatively (see below for more detailed comments). There is no discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of homogenized methods used by different dataset groups. There is a lack of attention to developing physical-based correction schemes. For example, radiosonde radiation error is the main source of errors for upper troposphere and lower stratosphere temperatures. it appears that none of the groups has implemented radiation corrections to non-corrected historical data or adjusted applied corrections. It is true that the trend analysis relies more on long-term homogeneity than on the absolute accuracy. But accurate data throughout the period would minimize the temporal inhomogeneity and can be used for other studies.
