This proposal seeks to improve our understanding of how upland landscapes and coastal waters, which are connected by watersheds, respond to changes in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles resulting from changes in climate, local weather patterns, and land use. Our group brings together research expertise from a diversity of fields that includes climate modeling, land surface modeling, remote sensing analysis, biogeochemical cycling, surface hydrology, estuary ecology, and coastal biogeochemistry. We will utilize and expand our multi-scale and multi-disciplinary earth system modeling framework developed under the current NASA IDS project that includes a regional climate model (WRF) nested within a global climate model (CCSM), an improved land surface (energy and water balance) model with multi-physics options (Noah-MP), a newly developed river routing model (RAPID) in conjunction with NHDPlus datasets and parallel computing, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem models. We will extend this framework to include a mesoscale meteorological model with online chemistry (WRF-CHEM) to address the biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of momentum, energy, water, and other materials, taking full advantage of satellite datasets such as the land use and land cover change, the burned area, surface albedo, trace gases and aerosols. WRF-CHEM can also compute dry and wet deposition of nitrogen (N) species and other pollutants, providing important input to watershed N budgets, riverine N exports, and the N balance in the coastal waters. Our modeling domain will cover the contiguous United States and the surrounding oceans, especially the Gulf of Mexico. We focus on two main time periods: 2001-2008 and 2051-2058. In the first period, we use models constrained by satellite and other NASA products (such as the North America Land Data Assimilation System datasets and MODIS MOD14 Thermal Anomalies-Fire Products) to address the environmental impacts. We will use seven watershed-estuary systems that span a range of precipitation and land use patterns across Texas to calibrate and test our modeling capabilities with respect to watershed runoff production, river flow, nutrient export, and estuarine ecosystem functioning in the western Gulf of Mexico. For these systems, we will expand our ongoing water chemistry data collection effort, which emphasizes characterization of storm events, by using an innovative community approach. In the 2nd period, we will address the environmental effects of the future climate change. We will concentrate on the following specific questions: 1. What are the entire pathways of particulates and solutes from the atmosphere through terrestrial and riverine environments to the coastal waters in the west Gulf of Mexico? 2. How are these pathways affected by climate change and land use change? 3. What are the effects of atmospheric dry and wet N deposition on riverine N exports and estuarine ecosystem functions? 4. What are the effects of changing climate and land use on terrestrial runoff and associated nutrient export to and availability within ocean margin waters? This project is submitted in direct response to the NASA IDS Subelement 2 "Impacts of Varying or Changing Climate, Local Weather, and Land Use on Watersheds and their Connected Coastal Environments." The proposed research topics are identified as emerging science areas in the Strategic Plan of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, the CCSP Revised Research Plan for the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. Our results will also provide inputs for, or promote the development of, models that advance our understanding of important aspects of the Earth system.

Underwater screams,
he is so far gone.
Drowned out by the unseen powers in unseen ways.
Fists clenched to fight,
It's a fearless wall.
Takes your soul and grinds it all.
Let it go.
Some things aren't meant to be now.
Why fight a war that's been decided?
Change your course.
Feel out your enemy now.
Realize you can't fight a war without a weapon.
Ran off to war but you couldn't find the battlesite.
Seems you missed the fight.
It's imaginary.
Causes, clauses clog your mind with their spite.
Like the preacherman who lectures hard on supersin,
He's soon found out in bed.
Too long engaged sleeping with your ideas.
Now you're your best source.
Arms pinned to your side.
Your mind's on fire.
It's got you firmly in its grasp,
A keyless clasp.
If you had an edge you just might cut loose.
But you've been dulled with age and ease.
Your muscles seized.
Please beware.
You should prepare yourself now.
Don't come to class without your homework.
Resign yourself.
It takes work to make it here now.

High school boys tennis: Kempin brothers expected to lead Juan Diego to 3A title
Tom Smart, Deseret News
Juan Diego knows better than anyone the dangers of being overconfident ahead of this weekend's 3A state tennis tournament in St. George.
A year ago the Soaring Eagle were the slight favorite in a balanced 3A tourney field, yet stumbled to a fourth-place finish behind Park City, Desert Hills and Dixie.
With the clear favorites at No. 1, 2 and 3 singles this season, it would take a massive stumble for Juan Diego to be kept off the top podium.
"My No. 1, 2 and 3 are all undefeated, so we're pretty optimistic that our chances are as good as anybody," said Juan Diego coach Arthur Miyazaki.
Just like the Tullis boys led Viewmont to a state title in 5A last week, the Kempin brothers are poised to do the same for Juan Diego this week.
First singles star Brendan Kempin is the top-ranked U-18 player in the entire Intermountain Region, and the junior is the clear favorite to repeat as a state champ.
His little brother Ryan Kempin is just a freshman, but he's one of the top-ranked U-16 players in the Intermountain Region and is the clear favorite at second singles.
The third singles spot is where Juan Diego has a leg up on the rest of 3A. Brenton Reyner was a semifinalist at second singles as a sophomore last year, but the younger Kempin's arrival bumped him to third singles this season, and he's undefeated at 8-0 and is the clear favorite at state.
As good as the trio is, Miyazaki said none of them can afford to take anything for granted.
"You never know what can happen in the singles, even though my three singles players are undefeated. Everyone is coming after them and playing their best," said Miyazaki.
Mathematically, simply winning the three singles events doesn't guarantee a team a state title if the doubles teams don't contribute points, but with the way the pairings shook out this year, it probably would assure Juan Diego of winning the team title.
While the Soaring Eagle are favored in all three singles, Desert Hills' doubles teams of Mason Ford and Christian Davis and then Preston Parmenter and Ryan McGinnis are the clear favorites at first and second doubles respectively.
Sweeping the doubles would guarantee the Thunder 12 team points, but making up the difference on Juan Diego's singles teams is going to be extremely difficult.
All three Desert Hills singles players are all on the same side of the bracket as Juan Diego, which means one of the three would need to upset one of Juan Diego's undefeated players in either the quarterfinals or semifinals to have a chance.
Based on last year, Miyazaki will stress with his players that anything can happen, and to take nothing for granted.

Ghana takes delivery of second C-295; to receive Mi-17 helicopters
Written by defenceWeb, Wednesday, 16 May 2012
Ghana's second C295 was seen landing in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands on April 24, and arrived in Ghana the following day. It is based in the capital Accra while the first is based in Tamale.
In the future, Ghana plans to base two C-295s in each city as part of their long-term vision for an expanded fleet, but as it currently stands, Ghana has only ordered two C295s, according to Airbus.
Ghana's Vice President John Dramani Mahama inaugurated the new aircraft at the Accra Air Force Base on Monday, reports Ghana's Daily Graphic. "The CASA C295 aircraft, with its famed robustness, will, therefore, come in handy to undertake tasks across a large spectrum of air operations, from the low to the high ends; that is, from combat support to humanitarian roles," he said.
Ghana's defence minister Lieutenant General Joseph Henry Smith said the aircraft had arrived at the right time to help improve Ghana's socio-economic development and further the country's agenda.
Mahama, during the C295 commissioning, said that the government would deliver four new aircraft to the Ghana Air Force by the end of July this year. "Probably in the next few months, hopefully by July, [we] should take delivery of another four Mi-17 helicopters. The Army has received some armoured personnel carriers and trucks and government is in the process of securing more APC's and armoured personnel carriers and tanks for the army," Mahama said.
At present Ghana's air force only has four Mi-171V helicopters, one AB-212, two A109As and two SA319 Alouette IIIs in service, according to the IISS's The Military Balance 2012.
On November 18 last year Airbus Military announced the delivery of the first C295. Rafael Tentor, Airbus Military Head of Programmes, said that, "We are very proud to add the Ghana Air Force to our family of C295 operators. The C295, which has proven the best solution for medium sized transport, will allow missions in remote and difficult to access areas. We look forward to the entry into service of this versatile aircraft in the Ghana Air Force."
Ghana was originally interested in acquiring the C-27J Spartan from Alenia Aeronautica and requested four C-27Js in September 2009, but this was never followed through. The contract for the two C295s was announced on August 4, 2011.
Smith earlier said the C295 would enable the Air Force to move troops and other security agencies across the country and within the West African sub-region. The aircraft will also be used for medical evacuation, paratrooping, training and humanitarian operations, including assistance to organizations such as National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the peace mission of the United Nations.
In August last year Ghana also ordered an Embraer 190 jet and two Diamond DA 42 surveillance aircraft. The acquisition of the Embraer 190 from Brazil, together with logistic support and the construction of a hangar, will cost the West African nation about US$105.3 million.
The Diamond DA 42 MPP (Multi-Purpose Platform) Guardian surveillance and training aircraft, fitted with a sensor turret for surveillance missions, are being funded through a €11.750 million loan from the Fidelity Bank Ghana Limited. The aircraft were spotted in the United Kingdom last month and are believed to have been recently delivered to Takoradi Air Force Base.
Plans for Ghana's recent acquisitions were revealed in December 2009 when Mahama indicated that re-equipment was an increasingly important priority, with plans for four turboprop transports and six Diamond DA42MPPs.
The DA 42s will be used for maritime patrol, especially safeguarding Ghana's offshore oil assets - the country becoming a major oil producer in the region after beginning production in December 2010. The Gulf of Guinea has seen a dramatic increase in the number of attacks on ships this year, prompting Ghana to modernise its navy. In addition to new aircraft, Mahama said Ghana's Navy has received five new vessels, with two more expected before the end of the year from Germany.
Ghana has a very small air force, with around 2000 personnel. According to The Military Balance 2011, it has nine transport aircraft, including one Britten-Norman BN-2 Defender, three Cessna 172s, four Fokker F-27 Friendships and one Fokker F-28 Fellowship. The latter is used for VIP transport, which is one of the air force's main duties.
In the way of combat aircraft, Ghana's air force only has three single seat Aermacchi MB-326K ground attack aircraft. It also has two MB-339, two L-39ZO and four Hongdu K-8 Karakorum trainers.
The C295 is a twin turboprop multirole transport aircraft manufactured by Airbus Military in Spain. It is capable of accommodating 71 troops, 50 paratroops or five standard cargo pallets (payload is 9 200 kg).

Big Baptisia, almost no flowers
My Baptisia 'Purple Smoke' just gets bigger and bigger (currently 8' in diameter), but had almost no flowers this year (you can see the occasional seedpod, about 4).
Any ideas what's going on? Give it phosphorus? I really don't want it to get bigger! I already have to move the daylilies and salvia.
Sheesh, that is insanely huge. I have this cultivar and have to say, it thrives with the most grim sandy soil, no water ever and blazing sun (I suspect the all day sun is the key issue although English sun is laughably meek compared to say, Texan sun.). I have a palin B.australis which gets less sun because a bloody great spindle tree hovers over it.....although it just looks feeble (and largely flowerless) without any of that lush growth yours gets - do you feed it?
I have not fed it other than the lobster-compost I bought in bags when I prepared this garden in 2006. I planted this Baptisia in 2007, and moved it in 2010. I have added only free (fresh) wood chips from our town DPW as a mulch, and they are supposed to ROB a garden of nitrogen.
simcam, I have never had my soil tested, but this may be a good time to start!
Not meaning to rub your nose in it luckyladyslipper but all of my Baptisias bloomed heavily this year. My soil is slightly acidic sandy loam. All mine are growing in full sun.
According to one of my books, Perennials For Every Purpose by Larry Hodgson:
'...these plants even supply their own fertilizer. They're legumes so they develop their own colonies of nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots.'
Check out the site below for additional information.
Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Botanical Garden
Well, this guy has fixed his nitrogen, for sure! I could do with less bush, and more flower. I had checked Missouri Botanical Garden, too. They actually have an entry for 'Purple Smoke' - but it sheds no light on my problems. I guess I'll go with my gut and scratch in some superphosphate.
They highly resent moving, but it should have recovered by now from 2010. I have noticed the same clumps don't necessarily flower heavily each year in the wild in Oklahoma, but I think you likely have an environmental condition, so try superphosphate and see for next year.
Good luck!
Thanks, Digging, I may try aluminum sulfate, then.
Shadey, this guy has had no amendments since before I planted him in 2007, and he has bloomed rather well in previous years, though I can't seem to find a photo. The first few years it was beautiful at the same time my poppies were profuse - which actually is why I moved it from the left side of the window behind the peonies you can't see, to the right side. Then the poppies were eaten one devastating winter. Alas, the life of a garden!

Home is where the heart is? Not this season
Home Unsweet Home
By Ivan Maisel, ESPN.com
Strategy goes in and out of fashion, just like hair length, tattoos and helmet designs. The pass used to be viewed with disdain, and the punt used to be a weapon, not an admission of offensive failure.
Doug Benc/Getty Images
Georgia was dressed in black at home but was probably better off in road unis.
But after Saturday, even the sanctity of the home field is in question. With September in the record books, the national championship race and several conference races look a lot different than they did on Friday. Five ranked teams -- No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Florida, No. 16 Wake Forest, No. 20 Clemson and No. 23 East Carolina -- all lost in their own stadiums Saturday. Nebraska and Miami, two teams on the fringe of the rankings, also lost at home, the Hurricanes by blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
There may be no place like home. Just don't make me play a game there.
"College football is crazy right now," Penn State wide receiver Derrick Williams said Saturday night.
Many of the Nittany Lions gathered at quarterback Daryll Clark's apartment Thursday night and watched No. 1 USC lose 27-21 at Oregon State, a team that Penn State beat earlier this month by 31 points. The lesson hit the 12th-ranked Nittany Lions smack upon their collective forehead. They responded with a solid victory.
Even as Williams emphasized that the Nittany Lions aren't looking beyond the next Saturday, he said his team is thinking about winning the national championship.
"If we're not thinking about that right now, we shouldn't be playing," Williams said.
Oklahoma defensive back Brian Jackson hewed closer to conventional wisdom after the No. 2 Sooners smoked No. 24 TCU 35-10.
"No. 1 is just a number," Jackson said, according to the OU website. "Coach [Bob] Stoops never discusses rankings, so it is never on our minds going into a game. Our main focus is one team each week."
Among the ranked teams losing at home, only Georgia lost to a ranked team. On the other hand, the Bulldogs took the biggest beating. No. 8 Alabama thrust itself into the national championship picture with its 41-30 victory. The Crimson Tide had been seen as being at a disadvantage this season because they had to play at Georgia, at Tennessee and at LSU.
Maybe Alabama is onto something. Its toughest games aren't at home.
Some Things Never Change
By Chris Low, ESPN.com
ATHENS, Ga. -- It was vintage Nick Saban.
AP Photo/John Bazemore
This was probably the closest thing to a smile for Nick Saban.
He'd just won his biggest game, his highest-profile game since coming to Alabama, and he was, well ... peeved. And that's saying it nicely.
As flawlessly as Alabama played in the first half Saturday in taking apart No. 3-ranked Georgia, the Crimson Tide didn't come close to finishing the 41-30 win the way Saban would have liked.
So there he was in his postgame press conference, grim-faced and his voice rising with each question about where Alabama should be ranked, how far ahead the Tide is in Saban's rebuilding project and how good this team really is.
"We got beat out there in the second half 30-10 or whatever," Saban lamented. "That's not how we want to play. That's not how we play a game. That's not how we should play a game, and we should not be happy about playing that way in the second half. I hope we learned from that. I hope our players learned, 'What did I do when I played well? And what happened when I didn't play well?'
"That, my friends, will be the answer to why you're successful and why you aren't. I know everybody is going to be all over me in the press about what I'm saying now, but I'm being honest."
That's why his players swear by him, even though their ears were ringing right after the game by a little swearing from Saban.

Sooner D Sets Tone
By Tim Griffin, ESPN.com
NORMAN, Okla. -- A hustling Lendy Holmes was determined not to let Aaron Brown score. Even after spotting the TCU kick returner a 10-yard edge in a foot race to the end zone.
Matthew Emmons/US Presswire
Oklahoma's defense has been just as potent as its offense.
After stopping Brown at Oklahoma's 15-yard line, Holmes' resolve carried over to his defensive mates on the ensuing possession. They limited TCU to minus-4 yards on the next three plays -- TCU's first offensive possession -- and held the Horned Frogs to a field goal. That determination set the tone for a strong effort that helped fuel the Sooners' 35-10 victory.
"He gives up there and lets that guy score, who knows? It could have been a different ball game," Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "It was a great teaching tool for our football team on why you don't give up. And it carried over to our team the rest of the night."
The Sooners allowed TCU only one touchdown, twice turning the Horned Frogs away inside Oklahoma's own 11-yard-line. The Sooners' opportunistic defense contributed four turnovers, two fourth-down stops that forced possession changes on their side of the 50 and three sacks.
In the process, they snuffed out TCU's running game, limiting the Horned Frogs to only 102 yards in their worst rushing effort of the season.

Living With Regret
By Adam Rittenberg, ESPN.com
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A 2-point conversion attempt with 13 seconds left on the clock encapsulated the type of day Wisconsin had.
Opportunity presented. Opportunity lost.
And the Badgers could only blame themselves.
After wide receiver David Gilreath atoned for several dropped passes with an acrobatic touchdown grab, Wisconsin tried to tie the score at 27. The Badgers succeeded. And then they didn't.
All-American tight end Travis Beckum, a player the Badgers hoped to hold out of the game because of a lingering hamstring injury, hauled in the conversion from Allan Evridge. But officials flagged Wisconsin for having an ineligible man downfield. Beckum should have lined up off the line scrimmage rather than next to another tight end, Mickey Turner.
"It was improper alignment on our part, which was kind of the story for us all day," head coach Bret Bielema said. "We missed opportunities on our end."
Most of those opportunities took place in the first half, when the Badgers had chances to bury Michigan.

What's Clemson's Problem?
By Heather Dinich, ESPN.com
CLEMSON, S.C. -- They started to leave before the game was over, a steady stream of downtrodden fans who trudged up the very same hill the Clemson players had stood on before the game, beating their chests wildly.
Rex Brown/Getty Images
Clemson hasn't come close to living up to preseason expectations.
The secret has been out now for five weeks: Clemson is not the No. 9-ranked team many thought it was heading into the preseason. The expectations were too high, and those within the program will admit it. The one team shouldering an entire conference's hopes of having a member win the big games on the national stage already has two losses, and it's not even October.
But Clemson, with all of its talented playmakers, is still capable of more than it has shown -- even with a depleted offensive line -- and the Tigers' 20-17 loss is just the latest evidence of the program's ability to underachieve.
Clemson coach Tommy Bowden said it wasn't what Maryland did. Running back James Davis said it's not a question of talent. And offensive coordinator Rob Spence said it wasn't for a lack of effort. Quarterback Cullen Harper said it wasn't the game plan.
Then what, on Earth, is the problem with Clemson?

Maturation Process
By Graham Watson, ESPN.com
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- For the first time this season, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen had a perfect game.
Brian Spurlock-US Presswire
Jimmy Clausen threw for a career-high 275 yards against Purdue.
But more than that, Clausen managed the game.
After a shaky first quarter, Clausen got the offense moving. He made precise throws that only his receivers could catch, and when crunch time came and the game could have gone either way, Clausen drove his team up and down the field to give it a commanding lead.
"I thought he grew up a lot," receiver David Grimes said of Clausen. "He was making some calls at the line of scrimmage that Brady [Quinn] used to make. He grew up a lot today."
Clausen completed 57 percent of his passes for a career-high 275 yards and tied a career-high with three touchdown passes. Clausen, who has been oft-criticized for inconsistent play, said once the offense got into a rhythm he started feeling comfortable in his game.
"Yeah, I played good out there," Clausen said. "I felt comfortable. I was reading the coverages pretty good. I felt like I knew what to do coming into the game, and the coaches helped me and got me ready to go."

Dynamic Duo
By Brett Edgerton, ESPN.com
Montana-Rice. Marino-Clayton. Manning-Harrison. Clement-Dillard? Hey, why not? On Saturday, Rice QB Chase Clement and WR Jarett Dillard -- two woefully underrecruited kids from San Antonio who went to the only FBS school that offered them a scholarship -- became the most prolific QB-WR tandem in major college football history. In the Owls' 77-20 win over North Texas (the most points scored by Rice since 1916), Clement and Dillard connected for three TD in the team's 56-point first half, upping the duo's career TD total to an FBS-record 41.
Highlights: Ole Miss-Florida
Fun With Standings
By Brett Edgerton, ESPN.com
Of the 13 remaining unbeatens in the BCS conference, a whopping nine are from the Big 12 (five) and SEC (four). Penn State, Northwestern, South Florida and Connecticut are the others. There are no unbeatens left in the ACC or Pac-10. ... Vanderbilt and Kentucky are the only teams in the SEC East that haven't lost a league game. Former East overlords Steve Spurrier and Phillip Fulmer lead the only teams that haven't won one. Let that sink in for a minute. ... Speaking of the SEC, the West met the East three times Saturday. In those games, Auburn beat Tennessee while Ole Miss (at Florida) and Alabama (at Georgia) beat a pair of Top 5 teams on the road.

Though flawed, Rick Reilly had no peer
So basically, Rick Reilly made my life hell.
One Christmas during my college years, when the sportswriting sirens first started singing my way, my parents got me a collection of Reilly's best Sports Illustrated columns. And at the beginning of the book, penned by a man who would go on to win National Sportswriter of the Year 11 times, was a list of rules for aspiring writers.
Among them?
Write the way you talk.
Seemed easy enough.
Don't overwrite.
I think I can manage.
Never write a sentence you've already read.
For me, that's when sanity became a perpetual part-time tenant.
On the surface, such a dogma doesn't appear difficult to uphold. But the truth is, not writing a sentence you've already read is like not humming a tune you've already heard.
The English language has been curated in so many trillions of ways that avoiding a Xerox is like dodging every droplet in a thunderstorm. And yet, for most of his three-decade-plus career, Reilly did it better than any sports journalist in the country.
When arrests piled up incessantly for the University of Miami football team, he wrote that the Hurricanes "may be the only squad in America that has its team picture taken from the front and the side."
When NFL stars Derrick Thomas and Isaac Bruce were involved in horrific car accidents, and Bruce said that the reason he didn't end up paralyzed like Thomas was because he invoked the name of Jesus, Reilly wrote "Two men. Pray for them both."
And in 1998, when it came to light that Ohio State football players' academics centered around golf, music, and writing papers about condoms, Reilly quipped "Golf, music and condoms. Sounds like a weekend with the President."
Reilly's hero was former Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray, the last sportswriter to win the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. But whereas a Murray column was a fusillade of one-liners that never let you come up for air, Reilly's had a story arc that jabbed you for the first 790 words before knocking you out with the last 10.
In 2002, he wrote about Jake Porter, a mentally-disabled high school student who scored a touchdown when the opposing team guided him toward the end zone after refusing to let him take a knee. It was a Hallmark moment that sparked tears from both sets of bleachers and prompted former bullies to start helping special-needs children.
Reilly closed the column like this: "Jake Porter thinks his 49-yard run made for a comeback victory. He thinks he was the hero. He thinks that's why there were so many grins and streaks down people's faces. Smart kid."
Sometimes, it was a 6,000-word piece profiling the professional brilliance and personal bankruptcy of anchor Bryant Gumbel. Other times, it was a 25-inch account of his backseat experience in an F-14 fighter jet.
One time, it was his run-in with an incensed Sammy Sosa, whom he asked to pee in a cup to prove he was steroid-free.


text: McCleary v. State Wash. Class Size Reduction Plan As Tough To Fund As It Is To Repeal By Kyle Stokes • Dec 22, 2014 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 1:56 Supporters of a sweeping plan to reduce K-12 class sizes in Washington public schools cheered its passage in November, hailing it as not only an opportunity for schools to hire badly-needed staff but also as a chance for the state to fix a broken revenue system. Yet Initiative 1351 has landed with a thud in Olympia. The Senate's GOP leadership will attempt to garner the votes to suspend the class-size initiative. Top House Democrats say they can't cover its massive $2 billion price tag. And the budget Gov. Jay Inslee released Thursday only covers a portion of it. But Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn warned last week this chilly reception won't satisfy Washington state Supreme Court justices, who've already held lawmakers in contempt over school funding. Governor's Ed. Agenda Aims To Meet McCleary Sooner, Only Partially Funds Class Size Vote By Kyle Stokes • Dec 15, 2014 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday proposed pumping an additional $1.3 billion into Washington's K-12 schools in the next two-year budget, which he says would allow the state to meet a high court mandate to fully-fund basic education a year early. Washington Supreme Court Finds State In Contempt In McCleary Case By Austin Jenkins • Sep 11, 2014 Austin Jenkins In an unprecedented move, the Washington Supreme Court has ruled the state in contempt of court in the McCleary school funding case. However, the justices will wait to impose sanctions until after the 2015 legislative session to give the legislature time to "purge the contempt." Inslee Scolds Legislature On School Funding But Cautions Court On Sanctions By Austin Jenkins • Sep 4, 2014 Rachel La Corte / AP Photo Gov. Jay Inslee says the Legislature has not "acted appropriately" in the face of the McCleary decision on school funding. But he cautioned the state Supreme Court Thursday not to impose sanctions that would penalize other areas of state government. Washington Justices Weigh Contempt, Sanctions Following McCleary Hearing By Austin Jenkins • Sep 3, 2014 Austin Jenkins The Washington Supreme Court has heard the arguments, and it must now decide whether to hold the state in contempt for failing to submit a complete plan to fully fund schools. The nine justices heard oral arguments Wednesday in a historic hearing that could result in sanctions against the state Legislature. 3 Petitions Propose McCleary Solutions, From New Revenue To Ban On Spending By Kyle Stokes • Aug 4, 2014 Kyle Stokes / KPLU The Washington state Supreme Court on Monday received three separate petitions, each urging the court to clamp down and force lawmakers to fund public education in the upcoming legislative session. School Funding Lawsuit Prompts Hearing On Separation Of Powers By Austin Jenkins • Jun 17, 2014 Elaine Thompson / AP Photo The Washington Supreme Court could hold state lawmakers in contempt over school funding. But is the high court overstepping its bounds? A Republican-led legislative panel held a hearing Monday on separation of powers. Washington Supreme Court Orders 'State' To Contempt Hearing In McCleary Case By Austin Jenkins • Jun 13, 2014 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo A frustrated Washington Supreme Court appears ready to hold state officials in contempt. The high court late Thursday ordered the "state" to appear at a hearing in September to address the lack of a plan to fully fund basic education. McCleary Attorney: Wash. Lawmakers' School Funding Report 'A Bunch of Malarky' By Kyle Stokes • Apr 30, 2014 Ted S. Warren / AP File Photo A lawyer who argued a landmark education funding case before the Washington Supreme Court says state lawmakers are still dragging their feet in meeting the mandate justices set out: develop, by this week, a "complete plan" to pump billions of new dollars into the state's public schools. Wash. Superintendent's Estimate For Ed Funding Nearly Twice That Of Lawmakers' By Kyle Stokes • Apr 23, 2014 Ted S. Warren / AP Photo Washington's top elected school official is urging state lawmakers to think bigger as they craft a court-ordered plan to increase education funding for the state's K-12 schools. Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn this week unveiled a plan to increase education funding by $6.7 billion by the 2017-2018 school year. That's nearly twice as much as the amount state legislative analysts estimate is needed to comply with the landmark McCleary decision. In the 2012 case, the state Supreme Court ordered lawmakers to fully fund K-12 schools by 2018. Fight over education funding heads to state Supreme Court By Charla Bear • Jun 28, 2011 Associated Press The state constitution says it's Washington's "paramount duty to make ample provisions for the education of all children," but is it failing to do that? This afternoon, the state Supreme Court will consider arguments on both sides.

I have had my Nexus One, since it came out, in fact it was given to me by Google themselves, I love the phone, and thanks to a combination of treating it well, screen protectors and an Otterbox Commuter case it is still in absolute pristine condition and I don't want to part with it. I have also put Cynogen mod on it and a top of he range 32-gig SD card, so it does everything I need.
Also I am on a great sim only contract with 3, and don't want to change it to get a phone from three, when I already love the phone I have.
However the Battery is starting to fade and I need to replace it, and after looking over the web I see that there are a lot of rubbish one's out there and it is very easy to get duped.
So I was wondering if any of you kind folks at XDA developers have had any positive experiences of buying a new battery for the Nexus One.
I would be happy with standard 1400Ma replacement, but would ideally like to increase this a little bit, but don't want to change the back or look of this classic phone in anyway.
I would like to thank you for you time in this matter, and look forward to hearing your lively replies.
Kind Regards - Ashe.

Inclusive of the 2009 edition, these road maps evolved to include an ever-growing list of DOD UMS.

WANTED: looking for: eggplant recipe
I got an eggplant plant at the PG County swap in May, along with a recipe for a dip. Of course, I didn't remember the recipe (it was not written down). Can whoever gave me the recipe and the plant e-mail me? Thanks.
Hi Dawn,
It was I-- boy it was hard to talk you into taking that eggplant! LOL
Roasted Eggplant Dip (Baba Ghanoush)
for 2 cups:
3 med eggplant (about 3&1/2 - 4 lbs)
5 tsp tahini (can substitute 1 Tbl peanut butter plus 1 tsp roasted sesame oil the dark kind)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbl. good olive oil
Prick the eggplants a few times and roast in a preheated 400 degree oven 45-60 minutes until flesh is very soft. When cool enough to handle, split open & scrape insides into food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and puree until smooth. Good with pita bread, pita toasts, veggies, lavosh chips, wheat thins, just about anything.
You can adjust the garlic-- I like lots. I've also just roasted a full head of garlic, as is, brushed with olive oil, along side the eggplant. You have to use twice as much, but it's a smoother flavor. Just squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins into the food processor. You can find tahini in most supermarkets these days, and you can always find sesame oil in the Chinese section.
Eggplants,Egyptian Style
-4 Eggplants
-3 cloves of garlic
-4 medium-sized beef tomatoes
-vegetable oil for frying
-cayenne pepper
-Peel eggplants and cut into semi-circles.
-Marinate in salt for half an hour and then wash.
-Heat the oil in large frying pan and fry eggplants on both sides until brown .
-Place the fried eggplant pieces on kitchen towel and cover them up with one to absorb oil
-Stir fry the garlic cloves ,but don't brown them
-Cut the unpeeled tomatoes into medium -sized pieces and add to the garlic and stir until you have a sauce with chunks of tomatoes in it.Add cayenne pepper and water if necessary.
-Remove the sauce from the fire and add the eggplants.

Shane Segovia tallied a clutch RBI double in the sventh inning.
Feb. 15, 2014
LAKE CHARLES, La. - In its first game of the 2014 season, the Mizzou baseball team rallied from down 2-0 to defeat defending Conference USA Champion Southern Miss, 4-2, on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 15) at Cowboy Diamond. Senior Shane Segovia tallied a go-ahead double in the seventh inning and sophomore righty Ryan Phillips earned the win, the first of his career, as he went a career-best 2.0 innings while striking out two, also a career-best. His outing came in relief of fellow Rock Bridge High School alum John Miles, who went 4.2 innings, allowing just two runs on four hits while striking out four and walking just one in his first start since May 26, 2012, at Kansas.
After a scoreless top of the first, Miles induced a couple of ground balls in the bottom of the second, but bad hops plagued starting shortstop Josh Lester on those two hits, allowing a run to score. Southern Miss clean-up hitter Matt Durst then ripped a double off the left field wall to put USM up 2-0. After Mizzou went 1-2-3 in the top of the second, Miles allowed the first two runners to reach in the bottom of the second inning. After a sacrifice bunt moved the runners over, Miles tallied his first strikeout of the season for the second out and then induced a pop-up to get out of the inning.
Miles settled in and retired eight batters in a row before a two-out error in the fourth, but he got a grounder to short to send the game to the fifth with USM still leading, 2-0. Mizzou finally got to Southern Miss starter Cameron Giannini in the top of the sixth as Segovia singled to right and eventually came around to score on a bases-loaded wild pitch. The Tigers failed to add more as senior catcher Dylan Kelly struck out looking to strand the bases loaded.
The Tigers then took their first lead of the day in the top of the seventh. Kendall Keeton tallied a leadoff single to center and Zach Lavy then reached on catcher's interference as the first two men reached. Head coach Tim Jamieson opted to let Segovia hit rather than lay down a bunt and he delivered with his second hit of the game, an RBI double to left to score Keeton. Lavy then scored on a throwing error trying to cut down Segovia at second as the Tigers took a 3-2 lead.
Phillips cruised through the sixth and the seventh in relief of Miles and Austin Tribby, sitting down six in a row - including two strikeouts - to send the game to the eighth inning eighth with Mizzou on top, 3-2. The Tigers scored an insurance run in the eighth on an RBI groundout to score Lester, who singled to lead off the inning as he has now hit safely in 10 straight games dating back to last season. Sophomore Breckin Williams and Keaton Steele threw scoreless eighth and ninth innings with Steele picking up the save, the third in his career.
The Tigers will play again at 3 p.m. against host McNeese State. Tex Little and Hunter Mense will have the call from Cowboy Diamond. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team @MUTigerBaseball.
- The 2014 season marked the second consecutive season that Mizzou has opened against Southern Miss. The last time Mizzou opened two consecutive seasons against the same opponent was 1969 and 1970 against Texas A&M.
- Mizzou improves to 4-8 all-time against Southern Miss and snaps a four-game losing streak after being swept at Southern Miss last season. Mizzou will play Southern Miss at Taylor Stadium March 7-9 as well.
- Freshman Jake Ring and juniors Zach Lavy and Brett Peel all earned their first Division I starts on Saturday. Lavy tallied his first career RBI in the win.
- Senior Dillon Everett started his first career game in the outfield after serving as an infielder the last three seasons. He also hit in the three-hole to start the game for the first time in his career.
- Junior righty John Miles earned his first start since May 26, 2012, and was the Tigers' opening day starter for the first time in his career. He went 4.2 innings and allowed 2 ER, 4 H with 4 Ks and 1 BB.
- Sophomore righty Ryan Phillips matched a career-high with 2.0 innings pitched and tallied a career-best two strikeouts as well. He also tallied his first career win. He and Miles, both Rock Bridge High School alums combined to go 6.2 innings, allowing just two runs while striking out six and walking just one.
- Josh Lester made his seventh career start at shortstop. He singled in the top of the eighth to extend his hitting streak to 10 games dating back to last season.
- Shane Segovia singled in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to five games, dating back to the 2013 season. He reached base three times in the win.
- Keaton Steele picked up his third career save with a shutout ninth inning.

More benefits ...
Favorite thing: Travelling with our little rascal Ilja is not always that easy. He needs space to play and not to be in a car too long/ The low fares of V-Bird flying from Niederrhein in combination with flights within Europe give us the opportunity to travel with our litle boy. It has been a great experience that will be having many follw-ups.
Few benefits ...
Favorite thing: For people in the East of the Netherlands this new airport is ideal to start travelling fast, cheap and thus efficient to a fine selection of destinations. Only 40 minutes drive from Arnhem, 25 minutes from Nijmegen and only 15 from Venlo.
Plus the low parking fees make it double attractive. From € 6,= per day and a maximum of € 30,= ! Neither Schiphol nor Düsseldorf can offer these low prices.
Terremoto 2003
Favorite thing: The Terremoto Festival at Weeze's airport which takes place here once a year.
Fondest memory: I was lucky to have backstage tickets for the whole 2003 festival so it was very exciting days for me. I met heroes like Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) or German legends Die Ärzte, funny Finnish guys from bands like HIM, The Rasmus and The 69 Eyes and rockers like Paradise Lost. We got drinks for free and I just loved having a look behind the scenes :-) And of course we saw quite many gigs, too!

- Music
From war to welfare

Welcome DerekH! Last year we invited people to Dolly Sods and they came from far and wide. A great time. So looks like we're doing it again this year. Probably in September again.

Sigeberht the Little
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigeberht the Little was king of Essex from 617 to 653.[1] He was the son of Saeward, who was slain in battle against forces from Wessex. Sigeberht was considered a pagan and most likely allied with Penda of Mercia in 635, who was also a pagan.[2]
After his death, he was succeeded by his relative Sigeberht the Good.

Happy Book Birthday to You. . . Happy Book Birthday, Happy Book Birthday. . . Happy Book Birthday to You!
In Bon Bibi's Forest, written by Sandhya Rao and illustrated by Proiti Roy (Tulika Books)
"When the quiet villages of Sundarban are terrorised by Dokkhin Rai, a monster with wild eyes, sharp teeth, striped skin and pointed nails, Bon Bibi has to step in to look after the people. That's when she realises that Dokkhin Rai himself needs protection – as do the forests that are his home."

Google Ireland Ltd, the company that runs Google's European headquarters, recorded profits of EUR47.5 million for the last year, a more than five-fold increase on the previous year.
Despite the recession, the austerity budgets, the increasing unemployment and the towering national debt, Google claim that the booming profits are down to growth in the online advertising market. Turnover for the company was nearly EUR8 billion last year.
According to the accounts, the average wage at Google is between EUR64,007 to EUR72,207, with staff sharing in a generous bonus scheme, including shares in the company.
Although the profits are for last year, John Herlihy, Google's European Director of Online Sales & Operations, said that the profits had continued to grow in 2010.
Significantly, Google continues to hire in Ireland, with a planned 200 jobs to be created when it opens a new office for Googlemaps, its controversial online map software. It also spent EUR18 million in taxes, spent roughly the same on research and development, and, unlike many foreign companies operating in Ireland, the profits were kept in Ireland rather than being sucked up by the parent company.
Google set up their headquarters in the iconic gasworks on Dublin's Barrow Street in 2003 and the offices are Google's biggest operation outside the U.S.

I'm into my parrots at the moment so please forgive yet another one ~¿ô
This song makes me laugh, when the 'supposed' parrot says "hello" on the track Lord Lexi (captured here) joins in :D
Hello, and how did you find yourself this morning?
Well, I just rolled back the sheets, and there I was.
When Mr. Slater's parrot says, "Hello!"
A geezer likes to get one on the go.
We hope to hear him swear.
We love to hear him squeak.
We like to see him biting fingers in his horny beak.
Sometimes he wants to whistle through his nose.
Whilst picking up a peanut with his toes.
If Johnny Morris had him on his show,
You'd hear the Fuehrer's favorite say, "HELLO!"
Hello… Hello…

Fleece its water proof like wool, they sell wool longies as diaper covers, why not fleece?
Breastfeeding, non-vaxing, homeschooling, baby wearing, cosleeping, non-cic'ing mama to CJAGJJSD And married my highschool sweetheartAnd expecting #5 in Nov. 2014
You can get fleece longies on places like Etsy. Usually ones meant to cover a diaper as a cover will have a second layer - a contoured second layer for fleece shorties and an underwear-shaped second layer for longies (kind of like those skirt-and-undies-in-one things you often get with toddler girl clothes). The second layer helps to keep the wetness contained.
Also, they need to be 100% polyester fleece, no cotton in the mix or it doesn't work. Which you don't normally need to worry about if you're buying them as covers but if you want to makeup your own it's definitely something to check.
Well I just discovered making your own fleece covers out of cheap fleece blankets is super easy and cheap! No sewing, just cut the fleece, and use pins or cut it so u can Tie it on. I got a blanket from Walmart for 2.88, depending on how big I make them, I can get at least 5, probably more covers out of it. Just wanted to share ;-)
Breastfeeding, non-vaxing, homeschooling, baby wearing, cosleeping, non-cic'ing mama to CJAGJJSD And married my highschool sweetheartAnd expecting #5 in Nov. 2014
The fleece I have had wasn't hardly waterproof at all. Lanolized wool fleece would be perfect if you can find wool.

Company profiles have not officially released yet, but ZDNet believes you should be prepared for what is to come.
To help companies better plan and execute their Google+ corporate profile, Israel and other marketing experts shared five things organizations should note, based on existing features available to individual account users.
Group audience into Circles
"For businesses this could potentially be a feature that allows brands to have multiple types of conversation through the same platform," Edelman's Israel added. "An example would be sharing content for consumers and enterprise customers through the same brand profile just by organizing them into separate circles."
Carolyn Camoens, Waggener Edstrom Singapore's deputy general manager and digital lead, also pointed out that if Google replicates the Circles feature for corporate profiles, it will allow for more targeted engagements between brands and their communities.
Go private if necessary
Besides sharing of information, Israel noted that organizations can also initiate private conversations with another person.
"This could be a useful feature for branded conversations that need to be taken offline, for example, customer service queries or conversations that require sharing of private information," he explained. Facebook currently only allows page administrators to send private messages to fans, and not from the brand profile."
