Vandy hoping experience proves edge vs Ole Miss
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
The Vanderbilt Commodores are hoping experience provides that little something extra against Mississippi.
These teams are very similar. The coaches are trying to turn struggling programs around: James Franklin going into his third season at Vanderbilt and Hugh Freeze coming off a successful first year. Both won bowl games last season and go into Thursday night's nationally televised season opener with high expectations.
The Commodores believe they have an edge.
This is their second straight year helping open the college football season hosting a prime-time game. They lost a year ago 17-13 to then-No. 9 South Carolina, but Franklin counts 75 percent of his roster played in that game. Now 13 seniors are slotted to start Thursday.
''We're a veteran group, a senior-laden team, so that's really going to help us tremendously,'' Vanderbilt receiver Jordan Matthews.
Vanderbilt finished last season with a seven-game win streak that's not only the longest in the Southeastern Conference but tied for the fourth-longest nationally. The Commodores went 9-4 and beat North Carolina State in the Music City Bowl. Franklin lost quarterback Jordan Rodgers and the Commodores' all-time leading rusher in Zac Stacy, but he still has 14 starters back. The Commodores also have won five of the last six in this series.
Freeze led Ole Miss to a 7-6 record with a victory over Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl, then he capped off possibly the best recruiting class in the program's history. He has quarterback Bo Wallace back after he threw for 2,994 yards among 19 starters returning.
But the Rebels list five sophomores as starters on defense along with freshman end Robert Nkemdiche, the consensus No. 1 recruit in the nation coming out of high school. Freeze also has freshman receiver Laquon Treadwell and tight end Evan Engram slotted as starters with a couple more freshmen expected to contribute early.
Freeze said his Rebels are very motivated, especially after Vanderbilt pulled out a 27-26 win last season in Oxford.
''We don't get a warm-up shot with a tuneup game,'' Freeze said. ''We're going to have to do it for real in a tough environment against a team that's proven over the last few years that that opening game with them at home is something they're always ready for. No question coach Franklin and his staff have his kids ready to play. They're a play or two away from knocking a Top 10 team off last year. It's going to be a great challenge.''
Here are five things to watch in this season opener between Mississippi and Vanderbilt:
EXPERIENCED QUARTERBACKS: Wallace is healthy after having his shoulder repaired this offseason, plus he ran for eight touchdowns last season for the most by an Ole Miss quarterback since Archie Manning. He also threw a career-high 403 yards in that loss last season to Vandy. Austyn Carta-Samuels now is Vandy's quarterback, and he got one start last season to go along with 21 starts at Wyoming.
CATCHING ON: Treadwell was the top-rated receiver by several services coming out of high school. Wallace also has Donte Moncrief back after he tied a single-season school record with 10 TD catches. Vanderbilt will be without junior Chris Boyd, suspended for allegedly offering advice on how to cover up a rape in a campus dormitory in June. Four players charged with rape in the case were dismissed. The Commodores do have Matthews, an All-SEC receiver who caught 94 passes for 1,323 yards last season.
UPTEMPO DEFENSE: Ole Miss likes to push the pace on offense, and Franklin said he saw 10 or 12 plays in the Commodores' game in Oxford last year where all Rebels weren't set when they snapped the ball. So the Vandy coach wants officials ready to make sure nobody's moving offensively that shouldn't be. But Franklin said he enjoys the coaching challenge. ''We're going to run an up-tempo defense this year, which no one's ever heard of,'' Franklin said.
OLE MISS D: Vanderbilt has an experienced offensive line that will be tested. The Rebels ranked first in the SEC and fourth nationally averaging 7.9 tackles for loss season and second in the league with 2.9 sacks per game.
DEFENSIVE LOVE AFFAIR: Vandy had the nation's sixth-best pass efficiency defense in 2012, and cornerback Andre Hal may be the player who follows Casey Heyward and Trey Wilson with lots of interceptions. Franklin said he hopes the ball likes Hal as much as it did Heyward and Wilson.

A rather strange sign on a canal in Copenhagen
I was taking a canal tour in Copenhagen when I saw this one. I thought it was so weird I had to take a pic of it. I mean, did the sculpture just fall in or was it put there deliberately? If so, why? Strange people, the Danes.

P. Timon McPhearson
Assistant Professor of Ecology
For more than ten years my academic and professional research has attempted to understand how ecological systems work and how to conserve biodiversity and restore damaged ecosystems and their associated functions. My research, teaching, and activism centers on the premise that humans are integrated components of ecosystems and therefore must recognize and take responsibility for the intimate role they play in the structuring and functioning of all ecosystems. This is nowhere more apparent than in urban areas. Cities are home to more than fifty percent of humanity. Hence, most people's experience of nature is urban. This requires that cities become models of highly sustainable human ecosystems. Therefore, my current research efforts are focused on better understanding urban socio-ecologies and specifically on protecting and restoring ecological functions and services in the urban forests of New York City.
Prior to joining The New School, I spent three years as a Columbia University Science Fellow teaching environmental and ecological science and conducting research at Columbia's Earth Institute. I have also worked as an ecologist at the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, am a former National Science Foundation Fellow, and continue to work with local policymakers, planners, and designers on urban sustainability research and education.

Battling Anxiety at Work
"Whenever I'm expected to speak up in a meeting at work, I get hoarse and sweaty and my memory shuts down. What can I do?"
Speak to your boss in confidence. If there's no way to limit the number of times you must speak publicly, limit your caffeine intake and increase your exercise a few days before you anticipate having to speak in public. And just before speaking, try this relaxation technique: Take three deep breaths, exhaling twice as slowly as you inhaled. If the problem persists, ask your doctor about anti-anxiety medication.

I found myself in a position after eight years of local service on the borough assembly to be positioned well to represent the area. After thousands of hours of testimony, debate and legislative actions, skills were developed and acquired that are necessary for effective representation at other levels of service. There is a personal obligation on my part to offer those skills on behalf of the residents of District 35 and again represent the area.
We do not need representatives who are myopic in their viewpoint. The legislative process is made up of 60 men and women from across the state, divergent in their ideas, who must come to consensus for the betterment of all.
People who focus on solutions promote efficiency in government and instill confidence in the citizenry that government is indeed open and responsive. Attacking the methodology of introducing legislation for discussion is not productive. Encouraging the public to engage in dialogue is what "open government" is all about.
Ideas reach their full potential only through exhaustive examination in the committee process. They are then further fleshed out by both legislative bodies. Representatives with tunnel vision can only exacerbate the opinion that the government process is flawed.
We are at a critical time in the state with declining oil revenues and the growing financial burden of maintaining the infrastructure we have created with that wealth. We cannot tax our way out of the situation nor can we economically grow our way out of the situation. Only with good stewardship by knowledgeable elected representatives who have a grasp of municipal needs, business management incentives, sound resource management practices, and prioritizing our necessary expenditures can we with vision move forward.
It is not an easy or popular time to be an elected official. There will be decisions that are extremely unpopular to the uniformed electorate. Therefore, it will take people who have good communication skills and the fortitude to make those decisions based in reason rather than for personal political gain.
I believe I have demonstrated time and again the wherewithal to take those necessary stances regardless of political consequences.
Please exercise your constitutional right and responsibility and vote on Aug. 27.

Kansas doctor killed in small plane crash
The Kansas Highway Patrol says a doctor died in the crash of a small plane in western Kansas.
The patrol says the plane went down Saturday evening in a field in Greeley County, about 11 miles west of Tribune.
The pilot, 63-year-old Dr. Randall Fahrenholtz of Tribune, died at a hospital. No one else was on board the plane. He worked for Greeley County Health Systems.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Fahrenholtz graduated from Sterling College in 1972 and graduated from the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City and Wichita in 1975.

Melamed responds to the advent of "FaceLift Dentures" and notes, "While these multi-purpose dentures may help aging patients kill two birds with one stone, it is important for the patient to do what he or she believes is comfortable. Some may find that the use of these dentures is not always as comfortable as traditional resources."
According to Melamed, the article features other interesting trends that may prompt greater oral hygiene and care among patients. For instance, tooth regeneration—although still in its initial phases of development—may allow patients to eventually benefit from a new alternative to traditional dental crowns. "There are many intriguing and exciting developments happening in cosmetic—and general—dentistry. However, those who are curious about new practices or treatments should carefully review options with a trusted dentist and check with relevant information provided by the ADA," Warren Melamed concludes.
Warren Melamed is a noted dental professional who is known for his work as the CEO and President of Oral Health Management—a Tennessee-based LLC. He is also recognized for founding Monarch Dental in Dallas, Texas—an organization that went public in 1997 and allowed Melamed to take on several roles as Chairman, President and Chief Dental Officer. Although Warren Melamed has made considerable contributions to the health and dental care industry, he is also noted for maintaining charity as a priority and has mad

APRS DISPLAY SYMBOLS by: Bob Bruninga, WB4APR (.pdf file)
Symbols for your APRS station or tracker can be done with one of three methods.
* The first is by assigning an SSID
* The second by embedding characters in the BText line within squiggly brackets (no longer used)
* The third by embedding the character in the SENDTO address (LTP, LOC, and Unproto) paths.
The third example is the PRIMARY way to indicate your symbol on the map. This info was derived from the APRSdos symbols.txt readme file. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR MOBILES ONLY! Home stations will use different symbols.
SSID | Symbol | NWAPRS Station Type |
-0 | Dot | Home Station |
-1 | Ambulance | Home PBBS |
-2 | Bus | |
-3 | Firetruck | |
-4 | Bicycle | |
-5 | Yacht | |
-6 | Helicopter | |
-7 | Aircraft | TH-D7 Station |
-8 | Ship | Secondary Automobile |
-9 | Car | Primary Automobile |
-10 | Motorcycle | Primary WIDE |
-11 | Balloons | Secondary WIDE |
-12 | Jeep | |
-14 | Truck | |
-15 | Van | TCPIP Only |
The following method is recommended by most. Replace XX OR xxx where you would normally use GPSxxx via RELAY,WIDE3-3 or whatever your path:
BB | Police Car, Sheriif | LF | Fire Truck (SSID = -3) |
BH | Small Aircraft (SSID = -7) | LJ | Jeep (SSID = -12) |
BK | SnowMobile | LK | Truck (SSID = -14) |
BP | Dot | LP | Puppy |
P# | Numeral Circle (replace # with 0-9) | SJ | Steam Shovel |
A# | Numbered Circle (replace # with 0-9) | LS | Ship/Power Boat (SSID + -8) |
MT | Motorcycle (SSID = -10) | LU | 18-Wheeler |
MU | RailRoad Engine | LV | Van (SSID = -15) |
MV | Car (SSID = -9) | SS# | Numbered Ship (replace # with 0-9) |
PC | Canoe | SU# | Numbered Truck (replace # with 0-9) |
NV# | Numbered Car (replace # with 0-9) | SV# | Numbered Van (replace # with 0-9) |
PO | Balloon (SSID = -11) | LE | Horse |
PR | Recreational Vehicle (SSID = -13) | LB | Bicycle |
PS | Shuttle (Please don't use this unless you're NASA) | LA | Ambulance |
PU | Bus (SSID = -2) | DV# | Numbered Aircraft (replace with 0-9) |
PV | ATV | AS | Satellite/PacSat |
PX | Helicopter (SSID = -6) | HV | Large Aircraft |
PY | Sail Boat/Yacht (SSID = -5) | HS | Jogger |
For example GPSMV V RELAY,WIDE3-3 will show up as a car on all maps. GPSLB V RELAY, WIDE3-3 will show up as a bicycle.
The following is taken directly off the TAPR Website. (I made a few spelling corrections)
SYMBOLS.txt 7.5b APRS DISPLAY SYMBOLS APRS displays dozens of different symbols based on the 44th character in the APRS standard position report according to the following table. Notice that there are several generic shapes without designated descriptions, so that users can tailor their symbology to a particular APRS net application. NOTE! Any particular symbol only has the meaning defined by the APRS net that is using it. So DO NOT INFER that an EMERGENCY or QUAKE symbol is a bonafide emergency! For example, the QUAKE symbol makes a nice bull's eye, useful for highlighting certain objects (such as the HARA arena at Dayton). As an exception, lets reserve symbols like TORNADO and HURRICANE for the real thing or clearly indicate it is a test. SYMBOLS ON MAPS! Not only can APRS symbols represent stations and objects off-the-air, they can also be permanently embedded in maps. To embed a label in a map, simply make the first three characters of the label be a $ followed by the symbol character, followed by a hexadecimal number from 1 to F that indicates the desired color for the symbol. The remaining 8 characters can be used for a conventional label at the same location. An example are the VORTAC nav-aids in Alaska. The Anchorage VORTAC appears as ANC on all maps below 128 miles. The label entry is $VFANC,LAT,LONG,128. AREAS ON MAPS! You can define BOX/CIRCLE/LINE or TRIANGLE areas in all colors, either open or filled in. They can be any size from 60 feet up to 100 miles. Simply move the cursor to the location, press HOME, move the cursor to te lower right corner of the AREA and hit INPUT-ADD-OBJECTS- AREA. You will be prompted for the type of area shape, and the color. Please note that AREA shapes can only be defined by selecting the upper left corner first, then the lower right second. The line is an exception. It is still top to bottom, but the lower point can be to the left of the beginning point. These symbols are useful for defining areas on MAPS in real-time to everyone in the net. For example, defining the area for a search-and-rescue, or adding a special ROAD or ROUTE for a special event. Be cautious in using the color fill option, since all other objects in that area that occur earlier in your PLIST will be obscured. AND you do NOT know the order of other stations P- lists. See the AREAS section below for details. SYMBOLS WITH STAND-ALONE GPS TRACKERS: Since the stand-alone GPS/PACCOMM TNC trackers output the raw GPS data over the air, instead an APRS formatted position report, there are two methods that I have included for you to be able to specify the symbol type. First, there is a default SSID convention which will be used if no other vehicle data is available. See the table below. SSID SYMBOL SSID SYMBOL -0 Dot -8 Ships (power) -1 Ambulance -9 Cars -2 Bus -10 Space objects -3 Fire truck -11 Balloons -4 Bike -12 Jeep -5 Yacht (sail) -13 RV (recreational vehicle) -6 Helo -14 Truck -7 Aircraft -15 Van These defaults can be user definable on a net by net basis. If your net must have different defaults, contact me. Secondly, you may indicate the desired symbol character surrounded by braces {s} as the first 3 characters of the TNC BText. Once the BText has been received by a station, the mobile will then be displayed using the specified symbol. The advantage of this method is that more symbols are available than from the SSID convention. The disadvantage is that the symbol is not displayed until AFTER at least one BText is received.

Where: l (lower case L) is the symbol for "LOCATION SHAPES" T is the Type of shape: 0=circle, 1=line, 2=ellipse 3=triangle 4=box add 5 to these => color-in C is the color from 0 to 15. For colors greater than 9, the / is replaced with a 1. yy is the sqroot of the latitude offset in 1/100ths xx is the sqroot of the longitude offset These offsets are ALWAYS positive to the right and down, except for the special case of a lower right quadrant line, these are given the Type of 6 and are drawn down and to the left. EXTENSION ALPHABET: There is potential for an alternate symbol alphabet. This alternate alphabet is indicated by a backslash character instead of the / character between the LAT/LONG fields. So far, we have NOT defined any new symbols to use this alternate alphabet. But if you just GOT TO have that special symbol, let me know. Now there is potential room to add it. NWS WX SYMBOL EXTENSION: I have re-defined several of the LETTERED BOXES to have alternate WX symbols. Any user can toggle on or off these symbols. Use the WX-UseNWSsyms command. Also, with WX symbols ON, the letters WX will appear on the control line instead of CW. Also some of the normal APRS wx symbols are re-drawn to match the standard NWS symbol. ALTERNATE NWS Symbols MODIFIED EXISTING SYMBOLS --------------------- -------------------------- D - Drizzle " - Rain E - Smoke * - Snow F - Freezing rain e - Sleet G - Snow Shower { - Fog H - Haze I - Rain shower J - Lightening HURRICANES, TROPICAL STORMS and DEPRESSIONS: These symbols will be differentiated by colors red, yellow, and blue. Additionally a radius of Hurricane and also Tropical storm winds will also be shown if the format detailed in WX.txt is used.

Johari Window: A Useful Tool for Understanding SelfJohari Window - named for its creators, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham - is a useful tool for understanding how therapy can help us live more effective lives. The four "panes" of the Johari Window represent four parts of our Self. My Public Self is what I show others about me. My Hidden Self is what I choose to hide from others. My Blind Spots are parts of me others see but I do not. My Unconscious Self are parts of me I do not see nor do others. We all have these four parts of Self, as shown in the Johari Window diagram, but their respective sizes vary in each of us. A more fully aware person has a large Public Self with the other three areas small in comparison. This person understands why she acts the way she does and is genuine and open with others because she has minimized her Hidden Self and Blind Spots while working to bring the Unconscious Self to greater awareness. She is in touch with her needs, feelings, and values - her True Self - the source of her wisdom and identity. A generally unaware person has a small Public Self with the other three areas large in comparison. This person acts in ways he doesn't understand because outdated decisions and defense mechanisms have caused him to develop substantial Blind Spots. In addition, he is guarded and less genuine with others because he has developed a significant Hidden Self as a defense against his own deep-seated shame. In short, he has disconnected from his True Self, becoming more defended than genuine. Let's review: Overwhelming emotional pain, particularly early in life, causes us to utilize whatever methods and defenses are necessary to survive. These methods offer short-term relief but can create long-term problems because they often require us to repress or disconnect from our painful emotions. Thus, our Blind Spots, Hidden Self, and Unconscious Self expand, and our Public Self shrinks as we distance ourselves from our feelings and needs. In essence, we lose touch with our True Self, which is our real compass and the source of our wisdom and identity. A solution: Therapy can assist you in expanding your Public Self while shrinking your Blind Spots, Hidden Self, and Unconscious Self. As your Public Self expands, you will reclaim disowned parts of yourself - the parts you had to abandon to survive. In essence, you will reclaim your True Self - the source of your wisdom and identity. Are you ready for the journey? If so, then click on the photo below to request online therapy. |

Neighborhood: Old San Juan

AOL Travel Editor's Review
Deep in the depths of Old San Juan is an old, homestyle cafe serving "comida criolla," the classic Puerto Rican food of yore. The decor is homespun but appealing with lots of flowery plants filling the backyard patio, and the cooler inside dining room painted a festive yellow, green and blue. The side dishes (which are huge) are only included when you order a special; otherwise you pay extra for things like tostones, rice and pigeon peas, sweet plantains and yuca. There are yummy stuffed tamales, lots of grilled and fried seafood and several types of "mofongo," a heavy combo of fried and mashed plantains mixed with seafood or meat and lots of garlic. It's an island favorite.

Bad Day at Riverbend

Based on 428 Ratings and 124 Reviews |
Book Description
Riverbend was a quiet little town, the kind of place where one day was just like all the rest and nothing ever happened. Occasionally the stagecoach rolled through, but it never stopped, because no one ever came to Riverbend and no one ever left. The day the stagecoach stood motionless in the center of town, Sheriff Ned Hardy knew something was terribly wrong. What was the mysterious substance on ... More

Best Tobacconist St. Louis 2004 - Jon's Pipe Shop
In search of a pack of Marlboro Lights 100s in a box? Go to the nearest gas station. But if you're looking to burnish your inner sophisticate with a Davidoff or a Montecristo, Jon's Pipe Shop is the place for you. The small shop reeks of years' worth of the world's finest tobaccos. And if the aroma don't make you dizzy, the assortment of smoking accoutrements -- cigar cutters, Dunhill lighters, crystal ashtrays -- will. From the walk-in humidor to the soigné smoking lounge, Jon's retrieves smoking from its derided state and -- if only briefly -- lets you wrap yourself in the unmitigated pleasure of a smoke thoroughly enjoyed.

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
These cookies came out great and were so easy to make!
The dough was difficult to work with. The cookies did taste good but they looked dreadful as they crumbled to bits trying to slice the logs. This is probably due to chef error but I can't seem to find where I went off track.

How to Manage PestsUC Pest Management Guidelines
DESCRIPTION OF THE PESTAdults are dark brown, compact weevils up to 0.5 inch long with longitudinal striations. They are flightless and nocturnal, hiding at the base of fruit or under dirt clods during the day and crawling up the tree at night to feed. Larvae are white, legless grubs that feed on tree roots. There is one generation per year. DAMAGEAdults feed on foliage, chewing notches out of the leaf edge and giving it a ragged appearance. Under high population pressure, only the midvein of the leaf will remain. The bark on the smaller shoots may also be consumed, leaving a rough, sandpaperlike surface. Mature trees can withstand attack without significant damage. Replanted, young trees may be severely defoliated and die. No damage has been associated with larval feeding. MANAGEMENTTo prevent infestation apply a 3- to 4-inch band of sticky material such as Tanglefoot and Stikem Special to the young trees to trap crawling adults in May when the first adult feeding is observed. First, wrap the trunk tightly with plastic wrap so that the weevils can't crawl beneath the wrap. Apply the sticky material to the plastic wrap, not the tree, because it can soften bark. Reapply the sticky material when it becomes dirty or loses its effectiveness. Remove the bands before winter. No insecticidal treatments for this insect have proven effective. PUBLICATION

The golden orange blossoms from these annual vegetable plants are a summertime treat. The blooms of all types of squash--zucchini, yellow crookneck, patty pan, winter squash, and even pumpkin--can be used, though they do vary a little in size and time of bloom. Squash blossoms taste vegetable-like, slightly of raw squash, with a vague flowery smell. They are an Italian specialty when stuffed with cheese and fried in a light egg batter, or they can also be stuffed and baked. They are delicious sautéed at the last minute with squash dishes, eaten alone, or tossed with pasta. Squash blossoms can be cut into chiffonade or used whole and added to egg dishes, stir fries, soups, vegetables, and salads.

Publisher's Description
With one flash of a camera, Demi's private life becomes public news. She doesn't know it yet, but her healing has just begun.
Christian college professor Demitria Costanas had vowed to end her affair with a colleague. But she gives into temptation one last time...and a lurking photographer captures her weakness for all to see. Quite literally, she's the woman caught in adultery. And almost everyone--herself included--has a stone to throw.
Enter Sullivan Crisp, a decidedly unorthodox psychologist with his own baggage. He's well-known for his quirky sense of humor and incorporation of "game show" theology into his counseling sessions. And yet there's something more he offers...hope for a fresh start.
Reluctantly the two of them begin an uplifting, uneven journey filled with healing and grace. By turns funny and touching, this story explores the ways humans hurt each other and deceive themselves. And it shows the endlessly creative means God uses to turn stones of accusation and shame into works of beauty that lead us onto the path of healing.
An auspicious debut for a candid yet tender series about pain, healing, and God's invitation for second chances.

Replacing Trickle Charger with 3 stage charger
Hi All - our first post...hope someone can shed some light
Bought our first sailboat 2 weeks ago - it ran fine at sea trial and survey was great (did suggest replacing trickle charger with newer 3 stage) ....the existing owner gave us a very brief tutorial on the existing old school trickle charger ....a week later motor wouldnt turn over, so i checked both batteries and they were both bone dry and corroded. From all the reading I've done this is probably from overcharging.
I have purchased a 3 stage charger ProMariner ProSport12 recommended by steveston marine (as well as installed new batteries - starting and deep cycle)
Dekka part 24m6
Series 3600
Cca 24m 650
Ca - 850
Deep cycle
Dekka Part dc24
Cca 24rv50
Ca 625
Rc 150
On the existing trickle charger located in the head, there are three cables - power, positive and negative
The negative cable from the existing trickle charger runs to the negative terminal on the starting/cranking battery.
The positive cable is connected thru the Battery Switch (1, 2, ALL, Off)
The power cable goes to an AC outlet of course
my question is this:
with the new ProMariner Prosport 12a 3 stage charger, with no risk of overcharging, can i just mount the charger in the lazarette beside the batteries, connect the charger to both batteries (as it says in the manual) and NOT connect thru the Battery Switch at all?
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Title: Developing a Post-Processor to Link the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) and the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS)
Project Proposal Abstract: Fuel treatments to reduce wildfire behavior and severity are major concerns for fire and forest managers throughout the United States. To test treatment effects and alternatives, managers rely on simulation models, such as Behave, the Fire Area Simulator, and the Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator. A prominent limitation of these models is their inability to calculate treatment effects with real fuels (e.g., stand exam data, shrubs). Moreover, fuel models do not account for shrub and nonwoody vegetation, which are major contributors of fire behavior and fire spread. To date, there are no simulation models that can quantify shrub and nonwoody fuel loading. However, emerging systems are available that could be integrated with existing modeling platforms to provide fire and forest managers with the ability to accurately evaluate and model all fuelbed components that have the capacity to burn and affect fire behavior. The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a modeling system that has been used extensively for over 30 years by natural resource managers to simulate forest succession and treatment effects. The Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) is a scientifically robust, peer-reviewed approach to quantifying the structural complexity and variability of fuelbeds across diverse landscapes. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six horizontal strata that represent unique combustion environments: canopy, shrubs, nonwoody fuels, woody fuels, litterlichenmoss, and ground fuels. A system to integrate the strengths of FVS and FCCS would give fire and forest managers the ability to evaluate and simulate silvicultural treatments (e.g., thin from below, prescribed fire, lop/scatter) and model forest and fuel succession based on realistic fuelbeds. Linking FVS and FCCS is a logical step in the development of a more robust fuels component of the widely used FVS model. In response to JFSP Task 1: Non-Forest and Understory Fuels Growth, Response and Succession, we request funding to continue development of an FVS post-processor that will link FVS and FCCS. Post-processors are stand-alone applications that produce specialized output using, as input, files that have been produced by the FVS model. FVS has an array of post-processors that were developed because of inquires and requests from forest managers who wanted specific information from the FVS model. Probably the most notable post-processor is the Stand Visualization System (SVS), which generates stand visualizations from FVS stand exam data. Our FCCS-FVS post-processor will allow managers to continue to conduct analyses in the FVS environment, but will give them the option to calculate fire hazard assessments with the best available science for documenting and quantifying complex fuelbeds parameters responsible for fire behavior and fire effects. For example, the post-processor will give managers the capability to compare treatment responses between a traditional (fuel models) and higher resolution (FCCS fuelbeds) approach.

Apparently, according to the press release, each rough draft had slight differences, so the version that was leaked, she knew who it was immediately.
And for the record, FORKS WASHINGTON IS THE LOWER CIRCLE OF HELL!!!!!!!

That blows big hairy monkey balls! Why would they do that to.her?! Ugh! I'm pissed!
Quoting tezell78:
There is another twilight saga book, its called midnight sun, written from edwards perspective. before she could finalize the draft and send out to the editors, she gave several rough drafts to close friends to read, someone leaked it to the internet and press, because of the turmoil the incident caused she postponed publishing it indefinitely............

However it's important to compensate for keeping them inside by enriching their lives with much needed mental and physical stimulation. A few simple decorating ideas can easily transform your home into a comfortable cat-friendly haven.
Cats love high places so make use of all the vertical space in your home. A nice tall kitty condo will give your cat her privacy and space. The latest cat trees are lofty, fabulously ornate structures. Some have features such as hidey-holes in the "trunk" of the tree with various snooze zones at various heights shaded by branches with silk leaves.pettreehouses.com. Where possible, position a cat tree or kitty condo near a window so that your cat can enjoy the stimulation of the passing parade.
You can further enhance your home with special feline wall shelves, ramps and walkways to help her enjoy vertical and overhead space. Learn from feline "interior designers" Bob Walker and Frances Mooney of San Diego, California who have built an aerial fun zone at ceiling height throughout their home with holes through the walls linking up these passages of fun thecatshouse.com. Other useful accessories are hammocks to hang in windows and special kit-in boxes for cats that love to hang out on your desk refinedfeline.com.
If you have the space, consider building a safe outdoor enclosure for your feline to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Where possible, make it directly accessible from inside via a special cat door that can be built into either a door or a window. Make the area feline- friendly with a weatherproof climbing structure, and a comfy garden chair or waterproof pet bed. Many cats love to nibble on lawn and certain non-toxic plants. So consider planting a patch of lawn and a planter filled catmint, alyssium and other non-toxic grasses. www.cfainc.org
Cats are very private creatures so be sure to place their litter box in a quiet place away from high foot traffic areas. They don't like an audience when they are doing their business! There are lots of items of furniture that enclose the litter box altogether. www.amazon.com You can also buy special litter box screens.
However, if you have a multi cat household, be careful before secluding the box too much as one cat may use this decorative idea to ambush and trap a housemate! It's important to remember to scoop daily and to have more than one box if you have more than one cat. The bigger the litter box or boxes, the better.
Similarly, place food bowls in a quiet and very accessible place. Elderly cats as well as feline amputees will appreciate raised food bowls so that they don't have to get down to floor level to eat. There are numerous fabulous designs for cats that will also look stylish in your home.
Consider a pet fountain for your kitchen area and place other water bowls in different rooms of the house. Remember to regularly wash them out and refresh the water. Because many cats are allergic to plastic, consider glass, stainless steel or ceramic receptacles. You can also purchase a stainless steel or ceramic drinking fountain Pioneerpet.com. esmartcat.com
Be cognizant of where you place cat beds in your home. Make sure they are not in line with draughty doorways and windows. Even if you have one cat, consider several beds in different places. Of course cats love to snooze on your favorite chair and on the bed. Elderly kitties that can no longer jump will really appreciate pet steps allowing them to access this favorite sleeping places. Consider lightweight plastic steps (www.petmate.com) or a set made from recycled corrugated cardboard (www.walmart.com) so that you are able to carry them around the house on kitty's request.
If you view your home from a feline perspective and decorative it accordingly, it's easy to enhance your cat's lifestyle.
When it comes to choosing cat furniture, keep feline behavior in mind.

HAVE WE USED 'ITS ALMOST AS IF THEY WANT THEM TO FAIL' AS A HEADLINE YET?: Yahoo and others are reporting the slow-take-up of 'official' music download services, identifying the lack of compelling catalogues and poor marketing as two reasons why Pressplay and Musicnet haven't exactly seized the music lover by the hand. Add in prices out of line with reality, and you've pretty much got a set-up that looks like it's being thrown about as a future plank to hit web-using music fans with. "We tried to sell you stuff, and you didn't want it" they'll wail.
Not that we'd recommend you sign up to Pressplay merely to spite them.

Reliable LIF/Mie droplet sizing in sprays using structured laser illumination planar imaging |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 4, pp. 4480-4492 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (3456 KB)
In this article, Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI) is used in combination with the LIF/Mie ratio technique for extracting a reliable two-dimensional mapping of the droplets Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD). We show that even for the case of a fairly dilute spray, where single scattering events are in majority, the conventional LIF/Mie technique still remains largely affected by errors introduced by multiple light scattering. To remove this unwanted light intensity on both the LIF and Mie images SLIPI is used prior to apply the image ratio. For the first time, the SLIPI LIF/Mie results are calibrated and compared with measurement data from Phase Doppler Interferometry (PDI).

How one photographer is embracing her inspiration
by Brittany Blake
Inspiration. (noun) "The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative."
We've all felt it, right? That little spark… It can come from just about anywhere and it usually comes out of nowhere, or so it seems. I spent time over the past month overwhelmed with inspiration.
You see, I attended Click Away and spent three days with 1,000 other women who share in this medium of expression that I am absolutely addicted(…)

Staff Reporter
BHUBANESWAR: Conservationists have sought cooperation from corporate houses in order to overcome inadequate government funds and staff to conserve monuments in the state.
Addressing a seminar organised by Bhubaneswar chapter of Indian National Trust For Art And Cultural Heritage (INTACH), former Union Culture Secretary and renowned poet, Sitakanta Mahapatra stressed on the need for impressing upon corporate houses to adopt monument sites on one to one basis. "The Archaeological Survey of India does not possess adequate staff and resources. The attempt to attract corporate funds as supplemental resource through National Corporate Funding initiative has not met with desired success," he said.
Speaking on the occasion, former Vice Chancellor of Sambalpur University Priyambada Mohanty Hejmadi said beside cultural heritage the industry must come forward to take care of environmental heritage such as endangered Olive Ridley Turtles and other places of bio-diversity importance

Leonard Callace
Leonard Callace was a cab driver, construction worker, and petty thief. In July 1986, he was charged with the January 1985 sexual assault of an eighteen-year-old nursing home aide at knifepoint in the parking lot of a shopping center. She had been accosted by two men and forced into a nearby car. The second man was never identified.
The victim picked Callace out of a lineup as her assailant. Eighteen months earlier, she had described her assailant as 5'10" or taller, with reddish-blond afro style hair, a full beard, and a cross tattoo on his left hand. Callace is 5'8", had straight blond hair, a tightly trimmed goatee, and a tiny cross on his right hand. Prosecutors offered a deal to Callace: that he plead guilty and serve just four more months. Callace refused. The jury took one hour to convict him of four counts of sodomy, three counts of sexual abuse, wrongful imprisonment, and criminal possession of a weapon. On March 24, 1987, he was sentenced to twenty-five to fifty years in prison.
At trial, the prosecution presented a sketch by police artists resembling Callace, the victim's identification of Callace from a photo array and the victim's in-court identification of Callace. The prosecution also showed that the blood group (ABO type) of the semen collected from the scene was the same as Callace's. Callace presented an alibi, but it was uncorroborated.
Callace's conviction was confirmed on appeal. After learning about DNA testing, he asked his attorney about the original trial evidence. The attorney remembered that the victim had just picked up her jeans from the cleaners and that she had spit out semen onto the jeans after one of the assaults. The jeans were secured from the prosecution for DNA testing at Lifecodes, Inc. On June 27, 1991, a judge granted Callace's motion to consider DNA tests as new evidence. He also ruled that if the samples did not match, he would hold a hearing to consider post-conviction relief for Callace.
RFLP analysis on the victim's jeans showed that the DNA in the semen stains did not match Callace.
On October 5, 1992, Callace was released from prison. The prosecution dismissed all charges and did not pursue a new trial because of the DNA evidence and the reluctance of the victim to have another trial. Callace had served almost six years of his sentence.

Diabetes is a serious medical condition that, if not controlled properly, can result in hospitalization and premature death. Children with diabetes do not produce enough insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose (sugar) move from the bloodstream into the cells. If sugar does not get into the cells, the body will not have the fuel to function properly. Eventually, if too much sugar builds up in the blood, it can damage the body's organs.
Managing childhood diabetes requires keeping sugar levels in the blood within a safe target range. This is done through a hemoglobin A1c test, which measures the amount of sugar in the blood. If the blood sugar level is too high, it can be lowered through medications and/or insulin and through lifestyle changes.
According to the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA), 34% of children, adolescents and young adults with diabetes should have hemoglobin A1c blood sugar levels below 8%.
We looked at the hemoglobin A1c test results for the 1,909 children, adolescents and young adults with diabetes who were cared for by our hospital in 2013 and compared our performance with the NCQA/ADA guideline.
In 2013, our performance on this measure for all age groups was better than the NCQA/ADA guideline.
Since not all hospitals report this information publicly, it is impossible to compare our performance to that of other children's hospitals. Instead, we evaluate ourselves based on how well we meet the NCQA and ADA targets.
A new system of mailing reminders to patients who have not been seen within the past 60 days, asking them to schedule an outpatient appointment with a member of our diabetes team, ensures more frequent follow-up visits. By encouraging follow-up visits on a regular basis, we can better monitor hemoglobin A1c levels and suggest additional treatments and lifestyle changes for children whose blood sugar levels are too high.
We are also offering group diabetes education programs for patients and families at our outpatient facilities in Boston and Waltham.
Finally, given the increasing numbers of children and young adults with diabetes, we are considering adding resources, including more diabetes nurse educators, nutritionists and social workers to provide more intensive care to this growing patient population.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."
