By James Jay Carafano, Ph.D. and Nicolas Loris
This weekend, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley stated that the Obama Administration might release stocks from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) as a way to counter higher gasoline prices. That would be a mistake.
The SPR, managed by the Department of Energy (DOE), exists for moments of national crisis when there is a dramatic disruption in oil supplies. The current high prices at the pump are a national concern—but playing politics with a national security asset is not the way to address the problem.
Let Supply and Demand Work
The global oil market can adjust to supply disruptions. Releasing reserves now simply allows the Administration to avoid addressing the underlying problem with U.S. energy policy that exacerbates the market impact of global supply disruptions. The problem is that the Obama Administration is artificially constraining supply to the market by denying Americans access to domestic oil.
In the short term, increased production by global suppliers (particularly Saudi Arabia) will likely have a more significant impact on prices worldwide. As the President's own Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, rightly stated to reporters last week, "That's going to mitigate prices. … Market forces will take care of this.[1]" Over the longer term, the Administration can best assure affordable energy by dumping its strategy of subsidizing and promoting alternatives that are not cost-effective and will not have a significant impact on fuel supplies in the transportation sector. Rather, the Administration should be removing obstacles and regulatory barriers that prevent the private sector from accessing natural resources.
First and Foremost, a National Security Instrument
After the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the United States and 27 other nations established the International Energy Agency (IEA) and agreed to maintain strategic reserves of petroleum products. Authorized in 1975, the SPR houses U.S. unrefined petroleum reserves in underground salt caverns at five storage sites in Texas and Louisiana.
Presently, the SPR holds about 700 million barrels, an amount representing approximately two months of net oil imports.
The President's authorities to release the reserves are limited by law. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires a presidential finding that there is a "severe energy supply interruption." Three conditions must be met:
This authority was modified in 1990 after the Exxon Valdez oil spill to give the President authority to deal with spot shortages and price spikes that impact specific regions of the country.
Presidents have only sparingly used their authorities to tap the SPR during times of crisis. Use of the reserve was authorized and partially drawn down during the 1991 Gulf War. The SPR has also been tapped for natural disasters such as Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina.[2]
Politics and Policy
Neither the intent for establishing the SPR nor the President's authority to tap it suggests that the release of stocks is appropriate for the current situation. A mere rise in price is not what the reserve was intended to deal with. Furthermore, it is clear that some are pressuring the White House to access the reserves merely to make a political statement. For example, Politico reported that last week "six Democratic senators urged action calling for the sale of the reserve oil to go toward advancing electric cars and reducing the deficit."[3] Using the reserves to advance such agendas not only goes against the purpose of the reserve but violates U.S. commitments under the treaty it joined establishing the IEA.
Finally, with no end in sight to the unrest in the Middle East, now is the least prudent time to give up the U.S. strategic reserves of petroleum. For example, an attempted Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would result in a widespread disruption of global commerce. The impact on the U.S. would be immediate and significant. According to a 2008 Heritage Foundation analysis, the U.S. would in short order lose over a million jobs, the price of gasoline would about double, and real disposable income would decrease by $260 billion.[4] Given the current turmoil in the region, now is not the time give up the nation's energy safety net.
SPR Obligations
If the SPR were to be released, the federal government would still need to make plans for replacing the current supply to meet its domestic and international obligations. In 1999, President Bill Clinton initiated the Royalty in Kind program. This allowed the government to collect oil from federal leases in lieu of cash royalty payments so that appropriated funds do not need to be used to fill the reserve. However, the U.S. still makes direct purchases of oil from foreign countries, most recently following the drawdown after Hurricane Katrina in 2009. In 2010, the Department of Interior closed out the program.
Currently, the average purchase cost per barrel in the SPR is $29.76. Selling the reserves at market price could ostensibly generate revenue for the federal government. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the DOE to refill the SPR as expeditiously as possible and try to avoid excessive costs. In replenishing the current stock, DOE considers the "current level of the SPR and private inventories; national and regional import dependency; the outlook for international and domestic production levels; oil acquisition by other stockpiling entities; the extent to which the SPR fill rate and prices paid will impact supply availability and prices in the marketplace; incipient disruptions of supply or refining capability; the level of market volatility; the demand and supply elasticity to price changes; logistics and economics of petroleum movement."[5]
If the price of oil continues to rise, DOE would be forced to fill the SPR at a higher price than for what its oil sells for. Simply put, one cannot debate the release of the reserves without also considering the price of future refill actions.
A Better Way
There are more responsible actions that the U.S. could take to ensure that high oil prices do not curtail long-term economic growth. Foremost, increasing access to oil reserves in the U.S., both onshore and offshore, would help offset rising demand, increase jobs, and stimulate the economy. Moreover, this will help improve the nation's strategic position vis-à-vis oil-exporting countries.
As the only country in the world that places a majority of its territorial waters off-limits to oil and gas exploration, the U.S. should at the very least be drilling in the areas where it does have access. Removing the de facto moratorium on drilling would immediately increase supply and obviate the need to tap the SPR. A market-based energy policy that opens supply and prudently balances economics with environmental benefit would lower prices, create jobs, and reduce the need for foreign imports.

With backpacks full of student debt and too few job opportunities to go around, things are looking bleaker for today's college graduates. So what to tell the next generation? According to this brief from the Brookings Institution (and some notable others), although college graduates still make more money over their lifetimes than their peers with only a high school diploma, one important fact receives far too little attention: Not all college degrees or graduates are equal. The authors look at variations in monetary returns to education along three dimensions: school selectivity, field of study and career, and graduation rates. The findings? First, selectivity matters; highly selective private schools have high returns on investment (ROIs). But among the less-selective options, public schools are the wiser call (because they are cheaper). Second, the authors highlight the earnings disparities between career tracks, noting that STEM majors far and away outpace others in terms of earnings potential. One telling example: The lifetime earnings of education or arts majors in the service sector are lower than the average earnings of a high school graduate. (Of course, that's also a sorry commentary on teacher pay.) Third, students who stop along the way and fail to procure a degree incur costs without payoffs. Fewer than 60 percent of those who enter four-year schools end up finishing within six years—but the completion rate swells to 88 percent at the most selective schools. All told, this short study is a treasure trove of information with one overriding message: College is a good investment on average, but choose your major and college carefully—or consider your alternatives.

"You canker blossom!" 3 Shakespearean Insults
mid-13c., from dead (adj.) + sea; its water is 26 percent salt (as opposed to 3 or 4 percent in most oceans) and supports practically no life. In the Bible it was the "Salt Sea" (Hebrew yam hammelah), also "Sea of the Plain" and "East Sea." In Arabic it is al-bahr al-mayyit "Dead Sea." The ancient Greeks knew it as he Thalassa asphaltites "the Asphaltite Sea." Latin Mare Mortum, Greek he nekra thalassa (both "The Dead Sea") referred to the sea at the northern boundaries of Europe, the Arctic Ocean.
Salt lake on the border between Israel and Jordan.
Note: Its shore, at approximately thirteen hundred feet below sea level, is the lowest point of dry land on Earth.
the name given by Greek writers of the second century to that inland sea called in Scripture the "salt sea" (Gen. 14:3; Num. 34:12), the "sea of the plain" (Deut. 3:17), the "east sea" (Ezek. 47:18; Joel 2:20), and simply "the sea" (Ezek. 47:8). The Arabs call it Bahr Lut, i.e., the Sea of Lot. It lies about 16 miles in a straight line to the east of Jerusalem. Its surface is 1,292 feet below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. It covers an area of about 300 square miles. Its depth varies from 1,310 to 11 feet. From various phenomena that have been observed, its bottom appears to be still subsiding. It is about 53 miles long, and of an average breadth of 10 miles. It has no outlet, the great heat of that region causing such rapid evaporation that its average depth, notwithstanding the rivers that run into it (see JORDAN ØT0002112), is maintained with little variation. The Jordan alone discharges into it no less than six million tons of water every twenty-four hours. The waters of the Dead Sea contain 24.6 per cent. of mineral salts, about seven times as much as in ordinary sea-water; thus they are unusually buoyant. Chloride of magnesium is most abundant; next to that chloride of sodium (common salt). But terraces of alluvial deposits in the deep valley of the Jordan show that formerly one great lake extended from the Waters of Merom to the foot of the watershed in the Arabah. The waters were then about 1,400 feet above the present level of the Dead Sea, or slightly above that of the Mediterranean, and at that time were much less salt. Nothing living can exist in this sea. "The fish carried down by the Jordan at once die, nor can even mussels or corals live in it; but it is a fable that no bird can fly over it, or that there are no living creatures on its banks. Dr. Tristram found on the shores three kinds of kingfishers, gulls, ducks, and grebes, which he says live on the fish which enter the sea in shoals, and presently die. He collected one hundred and eighteen species of birds, some new to science, on the shores, or swimming or flying over the waters. The cane-brakes which fringe it at some parts are the homes of about forty species of mammalia, several of them animals unknown in England; and innumerable tropical or semi-tropical plants perfume the atmosphere wherever fresh water can reach. The climate is perfect and most delicious, and indeed there is perhaps no place in the world where a sanatorium could be established with so much prospect of benefit as at Ain Jidi (Engedi).", Geikie's Hours, etc.

Specifications and Options
The Pista GP Helmet is an innovative outcome derived from the AGV Standards Project. AGV Standards and the PistaGP were created in 2009 with Valentino Rossi as the leading rider for it's development and testing. Three years after the project began, out comes the PistaGP, ready to get on the track with Valentino. First, the correct fit of the PistaGP is obtained with the new Reverse Engineering process. Designing around the head means beginning to conceive the helmet starting with the structures in contact with the head. The padding has a 3D concave structure that is pre-shaped according to the morphological characteristics of the head, while the surfaces in direct contact with the head are free from stitching, which has been appropriately moved. Comfort is ensured. The field of vision is 15° wider and the total area of the visor window is 9% larger than the previous helmet, without compromising it's level of protection. G-force transmitted to the head is less than 36%, the Pista GP reduces the residual impact force as compared to the 275 G limit set by ECE regulations.

Bankruptcy judge backs plan to reopen Cedars Mediterranean on Walnut Hill Lane
Cedars Mediterranean Mezza & Grill on Walnut Hill Lane, which closed earlier this week as part of a bankruptcy case, will reopen Thursday for dinner, the owner said.
Restaurateur Nabil Dimassi said he and his new landlord still are "very far apart" on the appropriate rent for that Cedars location, which is popular for its buffet and vegetarian dishes.
After a two hour hearing Wednesday, however, a bankruptcy judge issued an emergency order compelling the landlord to reopen the restaurant – if Dimassi brings the rent current.
That's according to bankruptcy attorney John Paul Stanford, who represents Mediterranean Mezza, the limited liability company that owns the Walnut Hill Lane location.
He said the balance owed for February and a few days in January is nearly $17,000.
With the doors reopened, Dimassi said he could withdraw the bankruptcy petition "whenever we reach agreement with the landlord.
"The focus now is to open back up and operate," he said, adding that his lease runs through 2023.
"Whatever it takes to …deal with it we're going to do," said Dimassi. "We intend to stay there until the end of the lease."
An attorney for the landlord could not be reached for comment.

Professor of Philosophy Jenefer Robinson starts her term as president of the American Society for Aesthetics.
Department of Philosophy Professor Jenefer Robinson has built a career studying aesthetics the philosophical issues surrounding humans perceptions of art, nature and beauty. The 2006 winner of the Rieveschl Award for Scholarly and/or Creative Works spent the last two years serving as vice president of the American Society for Aesthetics, and this year she begins a two-year term as that societys president.Philosophy Professor Jenefer Robinson is in the first year of her two-year term as president of the American Society for Aesthetics. |
Q: How do you describe the field of aesthetics to someone who might not be familiar with it?
A: This field addresses the philosophical issues surrounding art and the aesthetic experience. What does it mean for a work of art to express emotion? What is aesthetic experience? Does music have meaning and if so how? This branch of philosophy discusses these kinds of questions. That exploration also extends to nature and the aesthetic experience of natural beauty.
Q: So what attracted you to this field of research?
A: It was my love of the arts and an interest in the abstract theories relating to the arts. You cant be in aesthetics unless you have a real love for the arts.
Q: You were elected vice president of the American Society for Aesthetics in 2007 and will serve as its president for the next two years. Why did you decide to get involved with the society?
A: Its a small society within philosophy, and its a very nice group. Its very friendly and supportive. It promotes aesthetics and helps scholars find research funding. We try and build a constituency in aesthetics. For example, we just started an online graduate student journal.
Q: And that journal is specifically for publishing graduate students work?
A: Yes. Its a nice thing for them, a way of honing their skills while theyre still graduate students.

I love her show. It's awesome. The part I like the least, however, is the tablescapes. I can see going all out for a holiday or a formal dinner, etc. But I don't go all out just for dinner. I'ts too much to clean up with 3 kids! Which is odd to me, because the show has so many practical ideas, and then there are the tablescapes. They would never work in my house!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!!! I can't believe I missed all this. I can't wait to hear about how New York and Miss Sandra were. And! I love that you mentioned "Tablescapes" and "Cocktails" twice. Those are two things that my family always cracks up at when we watch her show. And now........."for my fabulous tablescape".......and wait! "Cocktail Time"!
Thanks for stopping by! I read and appreciate all of your sweet words and the time you have spent on my blog. I try hard to respond to comments and visit your blogs... eventually, but I will be honest life is pretty crazy right now!
Thanks for swinging by my place. See ya soon!

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2007 Contact: Jerome Sampson Special Agent/PIO Number: 202-305-2626
Virginia Man Sentenced to Two Life Terms for Crack Cocaine Conspiracy
MAY 7 -- United States Attorney John L. Brownlee announced today that Deron Jones, 37, of Bristol, Virginia, was sentenced in the United States District Court in Abingdon, Virginia, to two terms of life imprisonment and two additional terms of ten years imprisonment. Jones was convicted in December, 2006 by jury trial of conspiracy to distribute fifty grams or more of crack cocaine, possession with the intent to distribute fifty grams or more of crack cocaine, one count of distribution of five grams or more of crack cocaine, and one count of possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine.
According to evidence presented at trial by Special Assistant United States Attorney Zachary Lee, Jones, and his co-defendants, Ollie Cloyd and Monica Worley, also of Bristol, Virginia, were involved in the distribution of crack cocaine in the Bristol, Virginia area between July 2005 and November 2005. During that time period, Jones distributed crack cocaine from numerous locations in Bristol, Virginia and Tennessee, and also supplied Worley and others who sold crack cocaine for him.
On October 20, 2005, Jones and Cloyd sold 13.85 grams of crack cocaine to a confidential informant working for the Bristol Virginia Police Department. Jones was found to have an additional fifty-eight grams of crack cocaine and $4,659.00 in cash in his possession when he was arrested after the transaction. Additionally, on November 5, 2005, Jones and Worley were stopped by the Virginia State Police in Montgomery County, Virginia and found to have in their possession 4.9 grams of crack cocaine, $6,552.00 in cash, and digital scales. Jones had previously been convicted of at least two prior felony drug offenses in North Carolina. Worley was previously sentenced to ten years in prison and Cloyd was sentenced to five years and three months in prison.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Bristol Virginia Police Department Vice-Narcotics Unit, the Bristol Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Virginia State Police. Special Assistant United States Attorney Zachary T. Lee of the United States Attorney's Office in Abingdon prosecuted the case.

X11 is a graphical framework that Apple doesn't use, but it can run on Mac OS X.
There's no downside really in installing it, it's just not the native UI of Mac OS X, but other than that, it should be fine. Keep looking out for a new project called OpenOffice Aqua, which is a X11-free port of OpenOffice. It's currently labeled as an unstable beta, so I beware. Why don't you try NeoOffice, which is a port of OpenOffice for the Mac. If you liked this post, consider using the Reputation System. |

'Friends' receives funding for shoreline, sea level study
Funding from the National Estuary Program will enable the Friends of the San Juans to study threats shoreline habitat, private property and public infrastructure rising sea levels, and cumulative impacts of shoreline modifications in the San Juans County.
Results of the study, which will include new erosion rates, maps and sea-level rise models, as well as ways to reduce risks, is expected to be applicable throughout Puget Sound.
According to Friends, shoreline modification poses one of the most significant risks to the long-term health of the nearshore ecosystems, which include habitat of the Southern resident orcas, marbled murrelet seabirds, Stellar sea lions and chinook salmon. More than 20 miles of beaches have been armored by roads and by residential and commercial bulkheads in San Juan County, and nearly one-third of the 2,500-mile Puget Sound Basin is also "armored", with more miles of shoreline being hardened each year.
If the trend continues, Friends science director Tina Whitman anticipates beaches will become more vulnerable to climate change they shrink or become fully submerged. Beaches play an important role in marine food chain, providing critical habitat for spawning fish, which in turn become prey for seabirds, salmon, ling cod and marine mammals.
"It's really important to start asking the tough questions about which special places for fish, wildlife and people are going to suffer increased flooding," Friends science director Tina Whitman said in a press release about the NEP funding. "Without this basic information, we can't move forward as a community to figure out how to reduce the risk through modified development techniques or locations."
Friends will complete its shoreline protection project with assistance of Bellingham-based Coastal Geologic Services, and a technical team of local and regional experts.
For more information on shoreline habitat and sea-level rise, contact Friends at 378-2319 or visit www.sanjuans.org.

Neighborhood lights: Organizers talk about Midtown's DLECTRICITY

Woodward Avenue Lifestyle
Months ago, when we first became aware of a contemporary art festival that aimed to light up the Midtown night sky in the fall, the one-word response around the Model D office was this: win. Or make that two words: win-win. One for the artists and one for everybody else, including the braintrust behind it and the art consumers who will benefit most by the shimmery spectacle.
features 35 local, national and international artists who will shine various kinds of lights on historic Midtown architecture Oct. 5-6. That's this Friday and Saturday.
Artists from Japan, Iceland, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and, of course the hottest (or coolest, take your pick) art town in the world right now, Detroit, are featured. They include: Evan Roth, NBNY, Jacco Olivier, Tabaimo
Sarah Rara, Yvette Mattern
Biba Bell, Marcos Zotes, Graem Whyte, Melanie Manos, RogueHAA, D MET Design and more.
Locations include the Detroit Institute of Arts, College for Creative Studies, MOCAD, Detroit Public Library, the Rackham Building, Michigan Science Center and Sugar Hill Arts District.
Managing editor Walter Wasacz asked organizers Marc Schwartz, Marsha Miro and Sue Mosey to weigh in on the genesis of the festival, the value of staging it in Detroit and the direct benefits of doing it in Midtown.
Give us some background about DLECTRICITY. When was the idea hatched and when did planning begin for the first one? Who are your partners?
Marc Schwartz: Six years ago, 11 members representing a cross-section of the contemporary arts community came together with the goal of increasing awareness of the great art and artists we have in Metro Detroit. We established
Art Detroit Now
, which lists and links over 90 art venues in 21 cities and 5 counties in our area. We also established Detroit Gallery Week, which will celebrate its 5th Edition from October 5 -13. But, we always wanted to do something over the top that would attract thousands of people to one event. For a bunch of reasons, combining light and art just seemed perfect for this moment in time in Detroit. About 18 months ago, Art Detroit Now and Midtown Detroit, Inc. dug in, in earnest, to fund, curate and execute DLECTRICITY. It has been an amazing partnership, a shining example of how collaboration can work at its best.
Has there ever been an art festival of light-based work on this scale in Detroit before?
Marc Schwartz: This is the first time that a festival of Art + Light has been held in Detroit. With DLECTRICITY, we will join other major cities like Montreal, Paris and New York, Rome and Madrid that already have established festivals. In fact, Paris and New York will also be holding their events the same weekend, and we are jointly marketing our festivals as "Nuit Blanche," White Night events. We've also engaged the producers of the New York event to do a 3-D projection across from MOCAD, on the corner of Garfield and Woodward.
How many project proposals did you receive?
Marsha Miro: We had proposals from over 225 artists, architects and designers from Paris, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and many were from this area. Our goal was to mix things up. All the selected proposals are of great quality and captivating content. We wanted a variety and projects, ranging from 3D mapping of literary images on the Detroit Public Library to a giant painting of a whale that wiggles on the front of the Michigan Science Center to a village of tents for children on Warren and Woodward.
From programming standpoint, give us a few suggested can't miss events on the schedule.
Marc Schwartz: There are three natural gathering points for the event. At the DIA, where there will be shadow puppet performances by Tom Carey and free film presentations inside, and five major installations on the grounds, including a piece by Tabaimo, an artist from Japan. At the WSU park at Warren and Woodward, we will have a particular focus on family-oriented projects. And at the Sugar Hill Arts District, where MOCAD and the N'Namdi Center are located, we will have a dance party, food trucks, drinks and other light and performance projects. And don't miss going by The Max Fisher Music Center, where there will be a simulcast projected outside while a performance of Cirque de la Symphonie is performed inside. Pretty amazing.
What is the value to Detroit in staging a festival of this kind?
Marsha Miro: DLECTRICITY is important for many reasons. It raises the city's profile in the world, making it clear that we are in a place that takes contemporary culture seriously. The area population will see terrific contemporary art in an approachable form. This is going to be fun stuff to participate in. The Midtown area is a focus for cultural events in the entire region. DLECTRICITY will add immeasurably to this and we hope we will get over 20,000 people to see this festival of lights.
Why Midtown?
Sue Mosey: Midtown Detroit's amazing cultural and architectural assets have always been core to the continued growth and development of the neighborhood, and events like DLECTRICITY capture everyone's imagination for what's possible. Midtown is home to some pretty remarkable events with Noel Night celebrating 40 years this December, and the debut of Art X in 2011. With some of the country's premier cultural institutions in the neighborhood, it makes Midtown the perfect spot to celebrate creativity and now DLECTRICITY.
Walter Wasacz is Model D's moden art-loving managing editor.

The easier path
Churning through the snow...
K is my guardian dog and I am her guardian human. Ever since I was part of a search and rescue team with my dog years ago, I view my relationships with my dogs as partnerships. I don't think of myself as a dog "mom" - a dog "sister" describes my view better.
K watched over me while I followed bear tracks yesterday, and she plans to do the same again today. Yesterday, my friend and I got a good idea of where the bear was heading, and we saw that the big bear had been spending a lot of time in the general area where we followed his tracks. He'd left other tracks within the past few days, suggesting to me that there's possibly a den near that area. K will watch over me again today as we try to pinpoint the den before more snow falls. It's supposed to fall tonight.
Due to all the snow, I've been re-finding my snowbike legs, mostly riding obscure trails where no one else goes so my tire tracks are the biggest blemish on the smooth snow. Yes, that's a big cliff just in front of my bike...
Because no one else goes there, my very wide tire tracks provide the only packed surface for animals to walk on. They take full advantage of the easier path that my tire tracks provide. These are the tracks of a bobcat walking in my tire track one afternoon.
In fact, I got a photo of him as he was making those pawprints.
And, after he passed the camera, a red fox warily walked by, deviating from my tire tracks as he stared at the camera.
The next morning, the bobcat walked past the camera yet again, still using my tire tracks to make walking easier. This time, he/she carried breakfast - a rabbit. I wonder if this is the mother bobcat who we followed via my trail cameras as she raised her kitten this summer. There was no sign of a second bobcat in my photos but the paw prints further up the trail suggested that a second, smaller, bobcat was nearby. Perhaps this bobcat was taking her rabbit to share with her kitten.
This year has been different from recent years, with the onslaught of winter a bit early. All of my photos look like the one above now with white everywhere. Snow covers all of the forest except the most exposed areas.
I'm missing the colors of summer and autumn but I'm starting to get in the swing of winter.
I just had to post one more yellow photo before I fully accept the white snow and blue sky as the main colors for the next few months!

Hi Y'all,
Love the photo of K framed in golden leaves!
Hope y'all find another bear den. Those were such fantastic photos the last time.
Take care,

That yellow photograph is a beauty. It's so interesting that the animals walk in the packed snow - of course it makes sense, but this city girl would never have thought of that. You had a super-highway going past your camera the past few days. Do you read this blog? She had some gorgeous autumn photos today. I thought of you...

That last photo of K with her amber eyes looking up at you is so wonderful! Yikes - what a great capture of the Bobcat and the (bunny) - I'm being quiet in deference to Lucinda...

- Mogley G. Retriever said...
Wonderful photos, as usual. Maybe the bunny is not realy dinner, maybe the bobcat was playing a game of "fetch" and could not find a tennis ball under the new snow?

Hi KB
Do you ever wonder if all the animals in the wilderness are saying
"keep your paws crossed that KB rides her bike today and makes us some trails"!
I bet they do!
Did you find the bear?
The bob cat is beautiful. The bunny looks big!
We will miss the golden of autumn too.
Its seems to be cold and cloudy lately

Wow! Those bobcat tracks are much further apart than I would guess.
And I agree. I only call myself mom for a reference, but honestly my dogs are equal to me. There really isn't a higher rank, we are all just one.
I miss the yellow leaves already and we don't even have snow yet. :( - November 7, 2011 at 8:23 PM

The snow and snow stompers are all beautiful, but I do love the one last autumn photo of Miss K and the yellow leaves.
Hope you are feeling good!

Those yellow leaves really do show K off fantastically! I know she looks great in the snow, too, though! ;)
I am very curious to hear about how your big bear tracking adventure goes! I hope you find the den so we can see how Tiny spends the winter and spring.
I was so excited that you joined the group today, too! :D - November 7, 2011 at 9:28 PM

That last shot of K is sensational. Fun to see the animals following in your tire tracks. Antelope did that before the plains were heavily populated; they would follow in the mini canyon-like footsteps of the buffalo because that's where they could find food!

Snow legs... I can only imagine what hard work that is. You were right about the one bike I had a photo of in the race. I can't figure out why some guys ride the snow bikes in the snowless race except maybe as an extra challenge since there's less serious racers who participate in the Halloween race that the practiced racers would obliterate without some kind of handicap. And yes, I conquer with the others, I love that last photo of K.

Gideon Granger (July 19, 1767 – December 31, 1822) was an early American politician and lawyer. He was the father of Francis Granger.
Life and career[edit]
Born in Suffield, Connecticut, Granger attended and graduated from Yale University and became a lawyer. He was considered a brilliant political essayist. Using the pseudonyms Algernon Sydney and Epaminondas many of his writings, defending Jeffersonian principles, were published in many pamphlets.
He was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives and ran unsuccessfully for the United States Congress in 1798. A staunch supporter of Thomas Jefferson's, Granger was appointed as Postmaster General at the start of his term in 1801. He served in this post until 1814 when Jefferson's successor, James Madison, replaced him. He is the longest serving Postmaster General as of 2013.
After leaving Washington, D.C., Granger settled in Canandaigua, New York, where he built a homestead that would be "unrivaled in all the nation" from which he could administer the many land tracts he had acquired further to the west. Today his home is a museum. He became a member of the New York Senate and continued to be influential in politics and law including being a key figure in the Erie Canal project.
Ill health forced him to retire early in 1821 and he died the next year on December 31, 1822. He was interred in Woodlawn Cemetery in Canandaigua.

Heart rate refers to the speed of the heartbeat, specifically the number of heartbeats per unit of time. The heart rate is typically expressed as beats per minute (bpm). The heart rate can vary according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. Activities that can provoke change include physical exercise, sleep, illness, ingesting, and drugs.
The normal human heart rate ranges from 60–100 bpm. Bradycardia refers to a slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm. Tachycardia refers to a fast heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm. When the heart is not beating in a regular pattern, this is referred to as an arrhythmia. These abnormalities of heart rate sometimes, but not always, indicate disease.
The circulatory system is an organ system that permits blood and lymph circulation to transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, blood cells, etc. to and from cells in the body to nourish it and help to fight diseases, stabilize body temperature and pH, and to maintain homeostasis.
This system is often seen as strictly as a blood distribution network, but some consider the circulatory system to be composed collectively the cardiovascular system, which distributes blood, and the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph. Blood is a fluid consisting of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that is circulated by the heart through the vertebrate vascular system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials away from all body tissues. Lymph is essentially recycled excess blood plasma after it has been filtered from the interstitial fluid (between cells) and returned to the lymphatic system. The cardiovascular (from Latin words meaning 'heart'-'vessel') system comprises the blood, heart, and blood vessels. The lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels form the lymphatic system, which returns filtered blood plasma from the interstitial fluid (between cells) as lymph.
Cardiovascular physiology is the study of the circulatory system. More specifically, it addresses the physiology of the heart ("cardio") and blood vessels ("vascular").
These subjects are sometimes addressed separately, under the names cardiac physiology and circulatory physiology.
Cardiac dysrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat) is any of a group of conditions in which the electrical activity of the heart is irregular or is faster or slower than normal. The heartbeat may be too fast (over 100 beats per minute) or too slow (less than 60 beats per minute), and may be regular or irregular. A heart beat that is too fast is called tachycardia and a heart beat that is too slow is called bradycardia. Although many arrhythmias are not life-threatening, some can cause cardiac arrest.
Arrhythmias can occur in the upper chambers of the heart, (atria), or in the lower chambers of the heart, (ventricles). Arrhythmias may occur at any age. Some are barely perceptible, whereas others can be more dramatic and can even lead to sudden cardiac death.
The human heart is an organ that provides a continuous blood circulation through the cardiac cycle and is a vital organ in the human body. The heart is divided into four main chambers: the two upper chambers are called the left atrium and the right atrium (plural atria) and the two lower chambers are called the right and the left ventricle. There is a thick wall of muscle separating the right side and the left side of the heart called the septum. Normally with each heartbeat, the right ventricle pumps the same amount of blood into the lungs that the left ventricle pumps out into the body. Physicians commonly refer to the right atrium and right ventricle together as the right heart and to the left atrium and left ventricle as the left heart.
The electric energy that stimulates the heart occurs in the sinoatrial node, which produces a definite potential and then discharges, sending an impulse across the atria.
Rate pressure product, also known as Cardiovascular Product or Double Product, is used in cardiology and exercise physiology to determine the cardiovascular risk of subjects.
Rate Pressure Product (RPP) = Heart Rate (HR) * Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.
Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

Website for Polymer Education
Activity by Christopher Ober | added on May 10, 2011 | United StatesSponsor(s): IUPAC Polymer Division
A web site designed to provide information on polymer chemistry, videos on famous polymer scientists and links of educational content related to polymers. http://www.iupac.org/polyedu/
Polymer chemistry is an important part of the technology world affecting as it does so many industries, yet it is not a major topic in most K-12 education programs and it is not well understood by the general public. As a tool for connecting with students, teachers and the public, the IUPAC Polymer Division has established an educational website that provides learning software, links to video interview with award winning polymer chemists, educational videos on aspects of polymer chemistry, contests for IYC, links to educational web sites related to polymers from around the world and other topics. This project encourages collaboration to improve the web site, increase the number of topics covered and generally improve connection to the learning community and the public.
The IUPAC Polymer Division education website www.iupac.org/polyedu/ provides details on several IYC activities, including on the video and essay contest "A World Without Polymers" aimed at high school and university students. The contest and the winners were also feature in Chem. Int. Nov-Dec 2011 issue, online at www.iupac.org/publications/ci/2011/3306/7_polymers_competition.html

So assigned seats is what it is.
But the seats were taken by all the kiddies.
So that throws everything off.
No worries, as long as we could find seats together, I'm good.

A great balance of volume, reaction, and sound quality.
The A Custom Rezo Hi-Hat Cymbals from Zildjian possess a redesigned bell that produces extra volume when needed. The medium top and medium-heavy bottom incorporate the innovative design techniques of Zildjian, by alternating bands of spiral and full lathing techniques while using both Traditional and brilliant finishes.
Strategically placed cutouts on the outer edge of the bottom cymbal help to produce a warm but precise "chic" effect. These hi-hats still produce the warm blend of overtones that is expected from the acclaimed A Custom line of cymbals.
Be able to cut through quickly when you need to. Order today.

Comments about Zildjian A Custom Rezo Hi-hat Cymbals:
When I first saw the price on these, I was a little on edge about buying them. I hadn't had much experience with zildjian's rezo line, but had heard some good things. I bit the bullet and bought them and while it does seem like a lot of money, you definitely wont be disappointed in these hats. I finally have a clean defined sound from crashes to hi hats. They sound exactly like your stereotypical hi hat should(actually better). I would go ahead and pay the extra for these because they give such a clean and clear sound, and they come with zildjian reliability. The 14'' hats also make them very, very versatile. So spend the money and buy these hats.
Comments about Zildjian A Custom Rezo Hi-hat Cymbals:
I've been playing drums forever and have used almost every kind of hat. These 14" rezos are by far the best. Solid click. Cutting both open and closed. A little too cutting, maybe, for jazz, but perfect for pop, funk, fusion, and blues. Never thought I'd be excited about hi-hats, but I am about these! (I just wish they they cost a bit less.)
Comments about Zildjian A Custom Rezo Hi-hat Cymbals:
I've been a die-hard Sabian user for years - and generally as a rule I'm not much for Zildjian; but Zildjian sure got it right with their ReZo series cymbals.I was using a pair of 13" HHX Groove Hats and I loved them until I started playing in a band. I needed more cut and clarity; I figured I wasn't gonna get it done with a darker cymbal. I bit the bullet on these and I am not sorry in the least. They are simply the most clear, cutting, precise, toneful hats I have heard yet. Do you want to stand out? Give these a try. Way to go, Zildjian.
Comments about Zildjian A Custom Rezo Hi-hat Cymbals:
I just recently got these hi-hats in the 14" size and I must say I had my suspicions with the rezo lathing on a hi-hat but from the moment I played them, WOW! that uncertainty went straight out the window. These hats are really amazing. Extremely versatile. VERY pronounced chick. Like the mastersounds Zildjian puts out, the six cutouts in the bottom allow for venting of air which results in a very precise "chick". The top hat is relatively thinner so for extremely hard hitters I wouldn't go too crazy (I own three other sets of hi-hats including a pair of A Zildjian new beats, an older set of Z customs and the newest version of the discontinued Z customs)then again they are cast bronze. Still I think the thinner top gives it more of a delicate, whispy sound. They are very bright, lush, and crisp. Sweeter sounding than any of the other sets I currently have. Very good colorful tone and overall wash. Soft and delicate but if you need them to sing and project volume these hats can do that as well very effectively. The dynamics are really amazing with this set. Zildjians are my favs and with this design they certainly haven't disappointed me. If you play jazz to harder rock these hats can fit a wide variety of styles.

Ticks are bad, bad, bad. Vectors of many diseases, which I have gotten twice.
You can, of course, get ticks from branches. But for the most part they will get you from below, on your socks and pants.
The OBS won't help you there. You need the OBP.
Having been twice bit and hospitalized, I now use long pants tucked in socks, recently the permethrin treated kind, when bush hogging and logging in my back 10 acres.

The primary product will be a quantitative characterization of the distribution of organisms and habitats from Point Sal to the U.S./Mexico border. This data will be evaluated within six proposed boundary expansion alternatives. A GIS of the currently available biogeographic data for the region will also be provided.
Channel Islands NMS was designated as a Sanctuary in 1980 and encompasses a large area of rocky coastline, kelp beds, and sea floor located off the coast of southern California . The islands and surrounding waters were selected as a Sanctuary due to their unique geological formations, natural resources, and cultural significance. At the time of Sanctuary designation, its boundaries extended from mean high tide offshore to a distance of six nautical miles. This area was selected to provide adequate protection of the resource given the limited information on the spatial distribution of threats, uses, biota, and habitats that was available at the time. NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) and CINMS are currently considering six alternatives for adjusting Sanctuary boundaries. These alternative boundary options have not yet undergone consideration from a biogeographical perspective. Identifying how the six options overlay with the distribution of biotic and habitat resources is a critical component of assessing their effectiveness for meeting sanctuary objectives. Since the time of original designation, a wealth of in situ studies and advancements in remote sensing have provided a variety of new spatial data that can be used to address boundary options. To meet this need, the NCCOS Biogeography Branch is conducting a biogeographic characterization of the Channel Islands ecosystem in the context of the six proposed boundary modifications. This assessment began by gathering existing spatially explicit biological and environmental data. Data extent, quality, and position relative to alternative boundary options were then evaluated. Finally, modeling, data integration, and quantitative assessment of biotic and habitat resources is currently being produced for each boundary scenario.

"....if there is activity in the ball prior to the rubbing action....
Bill Belichick, Sat Jan 24, 2015
"You may think that you are some kind of god to these people. But we both know what you really are."
"What's that? A criminal?"
"Worse. A politician."

I don't know who that is
It was definitely a big win. The biggest thing is Geno's development, obviously the playoffs would be great. Biggest thing now is beating Pitt and getting to 4-2. Then we'll see where we are after this stretch of games against New England, New Orleans, and Cincy.
Geno looked great but we've also seen him look bad as well. I think that trend is more likely to continue this season because he is a rookie but hopefully he can eventually find some consistency.
don't be worried about geno smith...the jets unveiled some read option and emptied the play book pretty much with the formations and personnel vs the falcons...the real concern is the jets dts and heck wilkerson can even shift out over a tackle at end and win as a rusher right now...
that's the concern...can we hold up in pass pro...running the ball inside off what i have seen from miami vs the jets will pretty much not happen...
one thing the dolphins have that the falcons do not is a consistent edge win pass rusher in cam wake...so geno won't be getting all that time in the pocket vs miamis pressure schemes and blitz packages...
falcons were handcuffed anyways cause roddy white even when he did play had no burst no second gear no ability to separate...teams can one on one him these days and get away with it
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I agree somewhat, I don't think Geno has all of a sudden arrived. He's a work in progress but remember this was the first game we had all 3 RBs that they envisioned we'd have and Goodson will be huge in the pass game when he gets his legs under him. We'll also have Holmes back(assuming not setbacks) by the time we play so you'll see a different offense at that point.
Defensively Coples is working his way back, we just lost Barnes for the year which is a big blow as he was doing a great job for us but as Coples gets healthy that should lessen that blow.
Roddy isn't healthy, hasn't been all year but where's your Roddy White? You have a poor man's Julio Jones in Wallace but where's the White?
your dt's specifically richardson and wilkerson are the driving force of the jets right now...i'm not concerned about the offense...i'm concerned about those 2 dts ruining things...
richardson is a stud too
coples didnt show anything monday night pace is garbage and barnes may have been the only edge rush win player you had other than wilkerson at this point...not that he showed much monday prior to injury either...
stop those 2 dts and you will have plenty of time to make plays in the passing game or expose blitz pressure...
don't forget Harrison.
