- Global-scale estimation of diffuse groundwater recharge : model tuning to local data for semi-arid and arid regions and assessment of climate change impact (2005)
- Groundwater recharge is the major limiting factor for the sustainable use of groundwater. To support water management in a globalized world, it is necessary to estimate, in a spatially resolved way, global-scale groundwater recharge. In this report, improved model estimates of diffuse groundwater recharge at the global-scale, with a spatial resolution of 0.5° by 0.5°, are presented. They are based on calculations of the global hydrological model WGHM (WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model) which, for semi-arid and arid areas of the globe, was tuned against independent point estimates of diffuse groundwater recharge. This has led to a decrease of estimated groundwater recharge under semi-arid and arid conditions as compared to the model results before tuning, and the new estimates are more similar to country level data on groundwater recharge. Using the improved model, the impact of climate change on groundwater recharge was simulated, applying two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios as interpreted by two different climate models.
- Impact of climate change on renewable groundwater resources : assessing the benefits of avoided greenhouse gas emissions using selected CMIP5 climate projections (2013)
- Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to minimize climate change requires very significant societal effort. To motivate this effort, it is important to clarify the benefits of avoided emissions. To this end, we analysed the impact of four emissions scenarios on future renewable groundwater resources, which range from 1600 GtCO2 during the 21st century (RCP2.6) to 7300 GtCO2 (RCP8.5). Climate modelling uncertainty was taken into account by applying the bias-corrected output of a small ensemble of five CMIP5 global climate models (GCM) as provided by the ISI-MIP effort to the global hydrological model WaterGAP. Despite significant climate model uncertainty, the benefits of avoided emissions with respect to renewable groundwater resources (i.e. groundwater recharge (GWR)) are obvious. The percentage of projected global population (SSP2 population scenario) suffering from a significant decrease of GWR of more than 10% by the 2080s as compared to 1971–2000 decreases from 38% (GCM range 27–50%) for RCP8.5 to 24% (11–39%) for RCP2.6. The population fraction that is spared from any significant GWR change would increase from 29% to 47% if emissions were restricted to RCP2.6. Increases of GWR are more likely to occur in areas with below average population density, while GWR decreases of more than 30% affect especially (semi)arid regions, across all GCMs. Considering change of renewable groundwater resources as a function of mean global temperature (GMT) rise, the land area that is affected by GWR decreases of more than 30% and 70% increases linearly with global warming from 0 to 3 ° C. For each degree of GMT rise, an additional 4% of the global land area (except Greenland and Antarctica) is affected by a GWR decrease of more than 30%, and an additional 1% is affected by a decrease of more than 70%.
- Sensitivity of simulated global-scale freshwater fluxes and storages to input data, hydrological model structure, human water use and calibration (2014)
- Global-scale assessments of freshwater fluxes and storages by hydrological models under historic climate conditions are subject to a variety of uncertainties. Using the global hydrological model WaterGAP 2.2, we investigated the sensitivity of simulated freshwater fluxes and water storage variations to five major sources of uncertainty: climate forcing, land cover input, model structure, consideration of human water use and calibration (or no calibration). In a modelling experiment, five variants of the standard version of WaterGAP 2.2 were generated that differed from the standard version only regarding the investigated source of uncertainty. Sensitivity was analyzed by comparing water fluxes and water storage variations computed by the variants to those of the standard version, considering both global averages and grid cell values for the time period 1971–2000. The basin-specific calibration approach for WaterGAP, which forces simulated mean annual river discharge to be equal to observed values at 1319 gauging stations (representing 54% of global land area except Antarctica and Greenland), has the highest effect on modelled water fluxes and leads to the best fit of modelled to observed monthly and seasonal river discharge. Alternative state-of-the-art climate forcings rank second regarding the impact on grid cell specific fluxes and water storage variations, and their impact is ubiquitous and stronger than that of alternative land cover inputs. The diverse model refinements during the last decade lead to an improved fit to observed discharge, and affect globally averaged fluxes and storage values (the latter mainly due to modelling of groundwater depletion) but only affect a relatively small number of grid cells. Considering human water use is important for the global water storage trend (in particular in the groundwater compartment) but impacts on water fluxes are rather local and only important where water use is high. The best fit to observed time series of monthly river discharge (Nash–Sutcliffe criterion) or discharge seasonality is obtained with the standard WaterGAP 2.2 model version which is calibrated and driven by a sequence of two time series of daily observation-based climate forcings, WFD/WFDEI. Discharge computed by a calibrated model version using monthly CRU 3.2 and GPCC v6 climate input reduced the fit to observed discharge for most stations. Taking into account the investigated uncertainties of climate and land cover data, we estimate that the global 1971–2000 discharge into oceans and inland sinks is between 40 000 and 42 000 km3 yr−1. The range is mainly due differences in precipitation data that affect discharge in uncalibrated river basins. Actual evapotranspiration, with approximately 70 000 km3 yr−1, is rather unaffected by climate and land cover in global sum but differs spatially. Human water use is calculated to reduce river discharge by approximately 1000 km3 yr−1. Thus, global renewable water resources are estimated to range between 41 000 and 43 000 km3 yr−1. The climate data sets WFD (available until 2001) and WFDEI (starting in 1979) were found to be inconsistent with respect to short wave radiation data, resulting in strongly different potential evapotranspiration. Global assessments of freshwater fluxes and storages would therefore benefit from the development of a global data set of consistent daily climate forcing from 1900 to current.

Spatial light modulators used for imaging applications come in many different forms. Transmissive liquid crystal device (LCD) modulators modulate light by controlling the twist and/or alignment of crystalline materials to block or pass light. Reflective spatial light modulators exploit various physical effects to control the amount of light reflected to the imaging surface. Examples of such reflective modulators include reflective LCDs, and digital micromirror devices (DMD™).
Another example of a spatial light modulator is an interferometric modulator that modulates light by interference, such as the iMoD™. The iMoD employs a cavity having at least one movable or deflectable wall. As the wall, typically comprised at least partly of metal, moves towards a front surface of the cavity, interference occurs that affects the color of light viewed at the front surface. The front surface is typically the surface where the image seen by the viewer appears, as the iMoD is a direct-view device.
Generally, the iMoD is a highly reflective, direct view, flat panel display. Because of its high reflectivity, the iMoD has little need for illumination in most lighting conditions. The typical consumer expects to be able to read electronic displays in situations where there is little ambient illumination. Some form of illumination is needed for the iMoD and other purely reflective spatial light modulators that typically use ambient illumination.
Backside illumination techniques used extensively with LCDs do not work for purely reflective spatial light modulators. A purely reflective spatial light modulator is one through which light cannot be transmitted from back to front in such a manner as to illuminate the modulator elements. It is possible to leave gaps between the elements of a purely reflective spatial light modulator to allow backside illumination to travel through and emerge at the front of the panel, but the light will not contain any image information, as the light does not actually illuminate the elements, passing them by on its path through the display panel.
In one approach, as discussed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/224,029, filed Aug. 19, 2002 (Publication No. 20030043157) and shown in
In an alternative approach in the same US patent application, a light pipe is used that includes scattering centers. This approach is shown in
In either of these approaches, there are some problems. The manufacturing process is made much more complicated with the addition of several parts. The addition of the glass 102 or the light guide 118 adds thickness to the modulator, which may create parallax issues and decrease the visual quality of the image.
The invention may be best understood by reading the disclosure with reference to the drawings, wherein:
An embodiment of a purely reflective spatial light modulator having illumination dots is shown in
With application of a front lighting scheme, however, illumination dots 208 formed at the interface between the diffuser 206 and the substrate 200 can provide illumination for the display. Each dot 208 is comprised of a first layer 210 that is reflective towards the modulator array and a second layer 212 that is absorbing towards the viewer. This is similar to the scattering centers mentioned above, except that there is no need to add the extra step of wet or dry etching the substrate, as the illumination dots may be formed on the surface of the transparent substrate or the diffuser by various types of printing or thin film deposition techniques. While it is not necessary, the etching techniques may also be used on the transparent substrate if desired.
For purposes of discussion here, the display panel may be a combination of the substrate 200 and the diffuser 206, the substrate and an antireflective film, or just the substrate 200. The front panel has two surfaces. The first surface is that surface through which the viewer sees the modulated light. The second surface is that which is directly adjacent the modulator array. The first surface may have the diffuser on it, with the illumination dots considered to be on the first surface, regardless of whether they are formed on the substrate or the diffuser.
Interferometric modulators may use only ambient illumination. When used to create direct-view displays, they can utilize incoming light to form the images seen by the viewer. Illumination dots together with a light source associated with the display can supplement ambient light, increasing the brightness of the display. In total darkness, the illumination dots and the associated light source can provide all necessary illumination for the display.
The placement of the dots can be optimized depending upon the nature of the illumination and the environment in which the modulator may be used. For example, in
Light injected into the transparent substrate will be internally reflected in the substrate. Without dots or some other perturbing surface structure this light will continue to traverse the substrate. With the use of illumination dots, the dot pattern can create uniform illumination. Various schemes can be applied to vary spacing in a regular way across the face of the transparent substrate to create uniform light emission, such as those shown in
In general, the dots will be of a size too small to resolve by the vision of a human observer viewing the display at a normal viewing distance. Undesirable artifacts can sometimes still be created by arrays with features that are not individually resolvable. Careful design of the variation of the pattern, and/or the variation and dithering of the pattern and/or the fundamental spacing and arrangement of the pattern can be used to mitigate or eliminate any such undesirable artifacts.
The embodiments of
The limitations in using a backlight with a purely reflective spatial light modulator array arise because the light travels from behind the modulating elements, such as elements 404 a and 404 b in
In addition to variation in the patterning of the dots, the surface upon which the dots are placed may also be varied. The dots will typically be placed so as to reside at the interface between the diffuser and the transparent substrate. Alternative surfaces for placement of the dots at this interface are shown in
In an alternative, the dots could be placed on the surface of the diffuser 502, such as dot 510. Changing the position of the dots may modify the dot processing sequence. A dot on the surface such as 504 of the glass may have a first reflective material deposited and then covered by an 'overcoat' of absorbing material. If the dots reside on the surface of the diffuser such as 510, the absorbing material 512 would be put down first, then the reflective material 514. This maintains the proper orientation of the layers with regards to the modulator and the viewer 214.
In addition to the flexibility in printing the dots on either the surface of the diffuser or the surface of the substrate and the flexibility as to what pattern and density the dots are printed, there is considerable flexibility as to the point in a manufacturing process the dots are formed. An embodiment of a method to manufacture a spatial light modulator array with illumination dots is shown in
A first example of the process would start with providing a transparent substrate at 600. The illumination dots are applied to transparent substrate at 602. The spatial light modulator is then manufactured at 604. The modulator would be finished at 606, which may include such tasks as attaching a back plate. The diffuser is then applied to the substrate at 608, over the illumination dots. The combination of the diffuser and the transparent substrate may also be referred to as the display panel. The display panel may also comprise any other optical components, such as an antireflective film.
In an alternative embodiment, the spatial light modulator is manufactured on the 'back side' (away from the viewer) of the transparent substrate at 610. The spatial light modulator is then finished at 612. In one embodiment, the illumination dots are applied to the front side of the transparent substrate at 614 and then the diffuser is applied at 616.
In another alternative, a diffuser is supplied at 618 either after the modulator is finished at 612 or in parallel with the process of manufacturing and finishing the modulator. The illumination dots could then be applied to the diffuser at 620 and then the diffuser is applied to the transparent substrate at 622.
In any of the above embodiments, the process includes providing a transparent substrate with first and second surfaces, manufacturing the spatial light modulator on the second surface, applying the diffuser to the first surface and applying illumination dots. No order is implied by the listing the processes, as the order may change depending upon the embodiment.
For example, it may be desirable to put the dots on the substrate or the diffuser after manufacture of the modulator to allow for any printing mistakes to be made without affecting the yield of the modulator manufacture. If the dots are depositing during the manufacture process and something goes awry, it may negatively affect the yield of the process, as well as wasting an otherwise operable modulator. Putting the dots on the modulators that emerge from manufacturing may allow for more flexibility. Depending upon how the dots are formed, mistakes could be removed by cleaning the substrate with acetone or other solvents and techniques as appropriate, having no effect on the modulator elements sealed behind the substrate. Cleaning processes implemented during manufacture may damage the modulator.
The formation of the dots themselves may be done in one of many printing procedures, including lithographic printing, inkjet printing, screen-printing or any other type of printing technique. The dots could also be embossed onto the surface. Depending upon the type of technique used to deposit the dots, the shape of the dots may be controlled to maximize their effectiveness. As mentioned above, the dots would be printed at a resolution below the resolution of the human eye to avoid affecting the image quality as seen by the viewer.
Thus, although there has been described to this point a particular embodiment for a method and apparatus for illumination of purely reflective spatial light modulators, it is not intended that such specific references be considered as limitations upon the scope of this invention except in-so-far as set forth in the following claims.

Music Together v. Kindermusik
I am wondering if anyone has feedback in comparing Kindermusik (in Piedmont, not El Cerrito) to Music Together. I took my first daughter to Music Together for four sessions and we really enjoyed it. Now I'd like to take my 13 month old to music classes., and it looks like MT has rotated back to the same song collection we started with our last go-round. I just can't see myself paying $165 a session to have the same CDs and sing the same songs. How does Kindermusik in Piedmont compare? Are the classes fun and open for the kids? Lots of opportunity to use kid instruments? How are the song collections? Any comments on the teacher? All of the comments on the website are either 5 years old or refer to the El Cerrito one. Otherwise, did anyone repeat Music Together song collections and have a really good experience? Thanks! Elizabeth
We just started a Music Together class as well. Our instructor is Ryk. My personal feeling is that I like Kindermusik much more than Music Together. In Music Together, there is just a lot more plain NOISE vs. music. Also, in Music Together, the parents/caregivers do a lot of hand movements which just isn't my thing. I felt I was spending more time trying to figure out the hand movements than I was interacting with and enjoying my child. In Music Together, there does not seem to be as much ethnic/world music as in Kindermusik. But one thing I like about Music Together is that Ryk plays guitar (Nanci in Kindermusik does not play an instrument).
Music Together is one big class with kids of all ages -- from infant to preschool age. Kindermusik classes separate the kids by age.
Another consideration is parking. There is no parking lot in
Piedmont for Kindermusik, so you have to park on the street and
sometimes it can be really hard to find a spot. For Music
Together, there is a parking lot. Another thing to point out is
that these classes fill up pretty fast, so you should try to
sign up as soon as you can. Good luck!
Re: Afternoon activities for Toddler (Oct. 2002)
There is a Kindermusik class that just started, Kindermusik Beginnings for 1.5-3.5 year olds. It is from 2:15 to 3:00 on Tuesdays at the El Cerrito Community Center. I am pretty sure there are still openings. My son is in the class an hour earlier with the same instructor, so I am not in this specific class but we love the Kindermusik Village class we are in. The instructor is Debbie Becker, call her at 415-456-3565 to enroll or ask questions. Tuition for 15 classes is $225, or $180 for El Cerrito residents, materials $30, the first class is a free preview class if you want to see what it is like before joining. I imagine the tuition would be pro-rated if you join the class late, it just started on 10/15 and goes through 2/4. - Laura
If there were no Music Together in this area I would gladly opt for Kindermusik. It's a great program too. They seem to share the same basic philosophy as Music Together but I found their program for 18 mos. - 3 yrs. more formal and there were fewer opportunities for children and their role models to handle instruments during the course of each class. I understand they have a new program for 0 - 18 mos., but I have no experience with that. Their programs for older, more musically developed kids are a good fit for my older child now. For Kindermusik call (800)615-5415.
I am looking for thoughts on the differences between Music Together & Kindermusic & why you chose one over the other. I have looked at the website regarding older comments on music classes. Thanks ginny
* The Music Together teacher (we had Andy) was extremely engaging. The Kindermusic teacher was very nice but didn't have the same amount of energy.
* The songs at Music Together were much more lively and interesting.
* Music Together gives you a tape, a CD, a music book, and a parents' guide that are all very high quality. I know Kindermusic also offers materials that may be just as good, but I haven't seen them.
* Music Together had better instruments, and more of them. Throughout the class, Andy just kept bringing out all kinds of things for the kids to play with. At Kindermusic we only had egg rattles, one block, and scarves for dancing (though they also had a parachute, which Music Together doesn't have).
One thing better about Kindermusic is the price ($9 per session when you buy a series, compared $15 for Music Together). Music Together's fee includes the materials, though (I think at Kindermusic you have to pay extra if you want them). Also, Kindermusic allows you to drop in for single class sessions (for $12), while at Music Together you have to buy the whole series of 10.
Just to be clear ... it's NOT that Kindermusic is bad in any way. Far from it -- we had a great time. I just think that Music Together is better. Kathryn
I chose Kindermusik for my daughter when she was 14 months and we have been happy ever since! (She is now 2.5) I liked Kindermusiik because the kids were separated by age - I wanted specifically age-appropriate activities for her, and a social environment of similarly-aged kids.
I was sad to read the post about someone who went to a Kindermusik class and saw only a couple of instruments. The number and variety of instruments at a Kindermusik class depends TOTALLY on the individual teacher. Our teacher (Jane Buchanon in Concord firstname.lastname@example.com) has a TON of instruments for the kids. We previewed another Kindermusik class with a different teacher and found her to be a bit dull and lacking in instruments.
The bottom line - the teacher makes or breaks the class. Visit a class before you sign up, and visit a couple of teachers of each method before you rule that method out. Good luck! Jaime

Best Fried Chicken St. Louis 2008 - Porter's Fried Chicken
3628 S. Big Bend Blvd.
Maplewood, MO 63143
Pavlov's bell has nothing on Porter's fried chicken. As you step inside the unassuming strip-mall storefront, you can hardly keep yourself from drooling: The smell of breaded, deep-fried manna wafts out of the kitchen and from the plain white boxes on the dining tables. You can hardly wait — though if you order your chicken with the spicy breading, you must contain yourself an extra ten minutes or so. It's worth it, if you like a smack of peppery heat to accompany your crunchy (but not overly thick) breading and moist (but not too greasy) meat. Whichever breading you choose, be sure to grab a handful of extra napkins. That drooling is unsightly, if completely understandable.

Self introduction: I am 34 years old. I am the co-creator of this website together with my brother, Ádám, and a programmer friend, Bence. I was a freelance English teacher in Budapest, Hungary for 10 years. In Fall 2010 I started teaching at a high school in Budapest, and I enjoy it a lot. I am really excited to be teaching. I also love creating worksheets, it's my main avenue of expressing my creativity. Sharing is a relatively new thing for me, and I encourage all of you who are using this website to try it out. We founded this site on the ideal of opening up our own teaching materials to colleagues around the world who need such resources, to spread the positive effects of our work more widely. We would like to see many many people benefit from our materials; indeed, the more resources reach other classrooms, the better, since in the end, the worksheets are for students to help them learn English. In this community every teacher is a worthy member, because everyone is useful in different ways: you may upload resources, rate a ws, answer a grammar question in the Forums, suggest a great ESL link to others or post a vacant position in your school. But most importantly, we will appreciate you since you came here and make the effort to enrich the learning of your students beyond the coursebook. I hope you'll find a lot of beautifully crafted work here to take home and you'll enjoy sharing your worksheets if you are an author! :) Bless up!

Hang tight!
Recipe by TINKERBELL4
"Home made crunchy taco shells are excellent! Use home made tortillas, or corn tortillas from the store."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
vegetable oil for frying
1 (12 ounce) package
corn tortillas
salt to taste
There is a way to make them crispy without added all the fat from frying. Spray them with coooking spray and drape them over the rack in your oven. Bake until crispy.
Actually I think the mistake is that you use too much oil at once. You only put as much as you would to cook an egg then as you make more and more shells you add a little oil each time that way they aren't as oily nor chewy.Hope this helps and I explained to your understanding!
62 Ratings
Other posts were right, make sure your oil is hot. It doesn't take much. I take them out of the oil with the handle of a wooden spoon then feed each end over a wire on a cooling rack placed above the sink. Leave a wire or two in between. This makes them in a U shape so that it can hold the goodies in there without falling over. ;> )
if yours are chewy, it means the oil wasn't hot enough!
Tastes a lot better than the ones you buy pre-cooked in a package. I don't think you need to add salt if you're using them for tacos.
This is really neat. I tried making the shells using both flour and corn tortillas. In my honest opinion... GO WITH THE FLOUR. I cooked mine on my cast iron griddle with just a dribble of oil and they turned out wonderful. Thanks!
This is a great recipe. Once you master it, you never go back to store shells. I've been frying hard taco shells like this for years, like my mom and grandma. We love taco night, and it's not so hard, once you get the hang of it. I use a bigger pan, cook 3 shells at once, and reuse my oil. I have special "tortilla oil" that I keep in a container. As you continue to use it and add oil to the pan, the flavor continues to season beautifully.
Taco shells cooked at home give your tacos a very authentic taste, and make a meal that is restaurant quality! I followed this recipe and had wonderful cruchy, flavorful tacos. I sprinkled mine with seasoned salt right after removing from the oil. Put down your packaged taco shells and give this recipe a try - you don't know what you've been missing!

Dan Rather insists it's not about Katie Couric — it's about Edward R. Murrow. After Les Moonves decried the ex–CBS anchor's indictment of Katie-era CBS (specifically, his use of the words "dumbing it down" and "tarting it up") as "sexist" yesterday, Rather issued a clarification through his new employer, HDNet. As nobody gets HDNet, here's what he said: "This is not about Katie Couric. Never has been … This is not about gender, this is about leadership at the very top of CBS. Les Moonves talked about 'blowing up' CBS News and [de-emphasizing] the landmark journalistic work of Edward R. Murrow." And so, in one fell swoop, Rather's comment turned from beating up on a newbie to standing up for a mentor. Neat trick, if it works.

Voice of the people
Pastor undermined church's credibility
The Herald-Dispatch of Thursday, Sept. 12, carried a news story about the forced resignation of the pastor of a small West Virginia church for lending the church's bus to the police for use in a drug bust. Something about the article troubled me. It left the impression that the church was unjustly punishing its pastor for having performed a good deed.
Going online, I found the story reported in greater detail, revealing that the pastor, Chris Wilkinson, is also mayor and police chief of Hamlin, W.Va., and that he had loaned the church bus to the county sheriff's department on this and a prior occasion, without the church's permission. Sheriff's deputies used the bus as a cover to reach the scene of suspected criminal activity, undetected by the perpetrators' lookouts. Pastor Wilkinson expressed no regret for his actions and stated that he would do it again if asked.
When all the facts are presented, it becomes clear that, heretofore, whenever Wilkinson's responsibilities as a law enforcement officer have conflicted with his responsibilities as pastor, he has resolved that conflict in a manner that is clearly contrary to the interests of the church. And he stands ready do it again.
It is the mission of the church to save souls, not catch criminals. By allowing sheriff's deputies to use the church's identity as a disguise for deceiving those suspected of crime, he has done irreparable harm to the church's credibility and undermined its ability to carry out its primary mission. Hereafter, when folks in the community see the church bus they will likely envision not Christ's emissaries but cops in disguise.
By omitting from the published article salient and critical facts, The Herald-Dispatch has allowed the truth to be obscured and a false impression to be created.

Robust hiring kicked the unemployment rate down in December to 8.5 percent, its lowest level in almost three years, ending a fragile 2011 on an encouraging note.
Employers added 200,000 jobs last month, and older workers were carried along in that upswing, the government reported Friday.
See also: You've lost your job. What's next?
The jobless rate for people 55-plus fell to 6.2 percent in December from 6.4 percent in November.
Older men saw the biggest gains, with the rate sliding to 6.1 percent last month from 6.7 percent. Older women also got a slice of the action: Their jobless rate inched down to 5.7 percent in December from 5.8 percent the previous month.
For all of 2011, the economy added a total of 1.6 million jobs, even as employment in local, state and federal governments fell by 280,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
In December, retail added the most jobs (28,000), followed by leisure and hospitality (24,000), and the manufacturing and health care sectors (23,000 each).
Though the recession officially ended in 2009, businesses have been reluctant to add workers amid weak consumer demand for goods and services. Toward the end of 2011, however, the pace of hiring increased as consumer confidence rose and Americans grew more upbeat about spending.
Solid progress, but problems remain
Marisa Di Natale, an economist at Moody's Analytics, called the December jobs report "a solid step in the right direction" but added there were troubling aspects as well.
Some industries didn't add as many jobs in December as they had in November, and the November figures were revised upward to 8.7 percent unemployment from the 8.6 percent originally reported, she noted.
In addition, some workers continue to be so discouraged that they have stopped looking for work, meaning they're no longer counted as unemployed.
More than 13 million people were out of work in December. Millions more were "underemployed," working part-time jobs because full-time ones were not available.
But there was good news on duration of joblessness. As of last month, the average length of unemployment for people 55 and older fell to 52.2 weeks, still a discouragingly long time, but better than the 58.2 weeks reported in the previous month. For people under 55, the duration fell to 37.5 weeks from 38 weeks in November.

It's a home and away for Cal State Northridge (0-1, 0-0 MPSF) as the 2014 season begins in earnest this week. The Matadors open the home schedule on Wednesday against the Cal Baptist Lancers (0-1, 0-0 MPSF) before hitting the road for the Friday match at ninth-ranked BYU (0-2, 0-0 MPSF). CSUN opened the season last weekend at the UCSB Asics Invitational where the Matadors dropped their only official match, 26-24, 25-27, 25-19, 25-16 to the Pacific Tigers. CSUN also played four exhibition best of three matches on Friday against IPFW, Long Beach State, UCLA and UC San Diego.
Follow Cal State Matador volleyball online at the official online home of Cal State Northridge athletics, www.GoMatadors.com. Home matches will be streamed live through Big West TV while select home and road matches will feature a live audio broadcast. Fans can also follow the Matadors at Twitter.com/gomatadors and YouTube.com/northridgeathletics. Fans can view and print the Matadors 2014 Record Book online at GoMatadors.com. The guide features statistics and a complete CSUN men's volleyball history.
Saturday's season-opening loss to unranked Pacific dropped Cal State Northridge from 14th to 17th in this week's AVCA Coaches Top-15 poll. The Matadors, who earned 48 points in the first poll of the season, received 12 points this week and are not ranked among the top-15 for the first time since May 2 of the 2011 season. CSUN, which was ranked in all 15 polls last season, has been ranked in 186 of the last 199 weekly polls dating back to the 2002 season. Long Beach State (1-0) took over the number one spot this week as the 49ers earned 11 first place votes and 245 total points. Loyola-Chicago (2-1) received on first place vote and is second followed in the top-five by UC Irvine (3-1), Stanford (1-0) and USC (1-0) which all received two first place votes. Pepperdine (0-0) is sixth this week followed by UCLA (0-1), Lewis (1-1), BYU (0-2) and UC Santa Barbara (1-0). This week's AVCA Top-15 is filled out by Penn State (0-0), Ohio State (0-0), Harvard (0-1), Hawaii (0-0) and IPFW (1-0) ... Long Beach State is also number one in the first Volleyball Magazine poll of the 2014 season. The Matadors are not ranked in the poll.
• The Matadors look to get the home season off to a successful start on Wednesday as CSUN hosts Cal Baptist in the MPSF opener for both teams. The conference-opening week then sends the Matadors to Provo, Utah as CSUN provides the opponent for ninth-ranked BYU in the Cougars home opener on Friday.
• Cal Baptist is also 0-1 to begin the season as the Lancers lost in four to IPFW at the UCSB Asics Invitational. Cal Baptist finished 16-14 (12-12 MPSF) last season but was ineligible for the postseason tournament as a first-year member of the conference. Johannes Brink led the Lancers with 19 kills while hitting .441 on 34 swings against IPFW while middle Kristopher Johnson added 10 kills (.625). As a team, the Lancers hit an impressive .490 in the loss ... Ninth-ranked BYU is 0-2 to open the season as the Cougars lost road matches at No. 7 Loyola (3-0) and No. 10 Lewis (3-1) last weekend. Taylor Sander had 26 kills (3.71 kps) in the two matches to lead BYU. The Cougars are hitting .230 as a team through two matches.
• Wednesday marks the opening of CSUN's 30th season as a member of the WIVA/MPSF. The Matadors made their debut in the WIVA in 1984 where they were members for nine seasons. In 1993, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation was established to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pac-12, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences. CSUN opens its 22nd season in the MPSF this week. The Matadors have an all-time record of 266-329 (.447) in conference matches in 29 seasons.
A roster typically turns over from year to year, but this season the Matadors will field one of their younger teams in recent memory. Following the departure of 2013 seniors John Baker, Jared Moore and Drew Staker several key positions would have to be filled by new players. The first to step in Saturday was redshirt freshman opposite Jakub Ciesla who led CSUN with 12 kills in his Matador debut. Ciesla also added five digs and a pair of blocks against Pacific. Fellow redshirt freshman Bradley Sakaida also made his debut in the libero spot and had a co-team-high seven digs. Saturday also saw the debuts of true freshmen Andrew Freiha, Justin Beskeen and Colby Magorien. Freiha and Beskeen came off the bench to post five kills combined while Magorien was used primarily as a serving specialist.
Having become Cal State Northridge men's volleyball's all-time winningest coach during the 2010 season, Jeff Campbell picked up the latest milestone win of his 16-year Matador career in Northridge's 3-0 win at UC San Diego on Feb. 24, 2012. The victory gave the Matador boss his 225th career victory. Campbell, who now has a career record of 243-223 (.521), reached the 150 and 200 career wins over the last five seasons and now sets his sights on his 250th career win. Currently, the second-longest tenured head coach at Cal State Northridge (men's golf coach Jim Bracken is in his 28th season) Campbell has posted double figure win totals in 14 of his previous 16 seasons on the bench and notched a career-best 24 wins in 2009.
Travis and Colby Magorien became the first pair of brothers to play together at CSUN since 2006 when Brian and Kyle Waite played together. Travis is a junior setter while Colby is a freshman outside hitter. Billy and Nate Allen also suited up for the Matadors in both 2003 and 2004 ... Sophomore Brian O'Gorman set personal career-highs with six kills, 12 attacks and seven blocks against Pacific ... Saturday's loss to Pacific dropped the Matadors all-time record in season openers to 22-16 (.579) while CSUN heads into Wednesday's match 22-15 (.595) all-time in conference home openers.
Campbell announced another strong recruiting class on Nov. 26 as the Matadors unveiled the signing of Emerson Waumans, Jakob Karlsson, Justin Toth and Travis O'Gorman to National Letters of Intent. Waumans, a 6-6 setter from Carlsbad High School in Carlsbad, Calif., is the first player to sign with the Matadors during the early signing period. He is a multi-sport athlete who was a standout in both volleyball and basketball. As a junior, Waumans led the Lancers volleyball team to a 20-11 overall record under coach Andy Tomkinson. He also competes for the Seaside Volleyball Club. Karlsson, a 6-4 outside hitter from Carlsbad High School in Carlsbad, Calif., is the second player to sign with the Matadors during the early signing period. A teammate of Waumans, he had 206 kills and 42 aces while hitting .365 for the Lancers who finished with a record of 20-11. He also competes for the Coast Boys Volleyball Club. Toth, a 6-10 middle blocker from Minooka High School in Minooka, Ill., is the third player to sign with Cal State Northridge during the early signing period. Toth was instrumental in the Indians posting a 73-7 record over the last two seasons along with a fourth-place finish in the state in 2012. O'Gorman, a 6-3 outside hitter from Northport High School in Northport, NY, is the fourth player to sign with Cal State Northridge during the early signing period. O'Gorman earned All-County honors for the Tigers in 2013 and was among the players listed in the Long Island Newsday "Players to Watch" in both 2012 and 2013.
Following their trip to BYU, the Matadors return to Northridge to host Pepperdine (Jan. 22) and USC (Jan. 24) in MPSF matches. CSUN will play 10 of its first 17 matches of the season at home which sets up a season-closing stretch where the Matadors will play seven of their final 10 away from The Matadome.

Don't let fear of unknown keep you from experiencing city
CORPUS CHRISTI - In 2010, I did 40 things I'd never done in and around Corpus Christi (or hadn't done in a very long time). It continues this year with 20 more.
When I put the original list together, three items were no-brainers. I call them the Water Sports Section: go fishing, surfing and kiteboarding. A year and a half later, all three of them remain unchecked.
We live in Corpus Christi where our assets — the things that set us apart — are surf, sand and waves. So I have to analyze why, 50 or so things into this grand adventure, I'm so hesitant to pull the trigger on these three.
If my weekly mantra is to encourage you to get out there and do things, why do these three keep getting postponed? Why does getting in the water make me a hypocrite?
Consider, at random, one of the many local things I've recommended in the past: catching a high-quality bit of theater at Harbor Playhouse. This weekend you could go to their immensely popular production, "West Side Story." It is so easy for me to suggest that to you.
But perhaps you've never been to Harbor Playhouse. Perhaps you don't know where it's located or if it requires a battle with traffic or how to dress or if there's a theater culture or shorthand you may need to possess to not feel out of place.
While I know the answers to these things (I believe the theater is as easy to attend as the movies), you may not. And the 'I don't know what I'm getting into' part of trying new things can be paralyzing.
The Water Sports Section presents me with the same learning curves. All three require equipment I don't own and skill sets I don't have. There's a fishing poll in my garage, but I don't know what to put on my hook or where to drop it in the water. To the anglers out there, I sound like an inexperienced theatergoer, but accepting our knowledge gap doesn't get me fishing any faster.
Luckily for me, several generous people are ready to hold my hand as I tread, both literally and finally, into my unknown waters. After 18 months, I'm conquering a fear or two and my life, I assume, will be richer on the other side of it.
As I say weekly, Corpus Christi offers a world of things to do out there. Grab a guide and take the first step.

One of the only games I don't have is Majoras Mask (and the three above, obviously). I originally wasn't going to get a copy of the re-release of OoT coupled with the master quest on NGC as I didn't pre-order, but I managed to coax a Gamestop employee into selling me one after-the-fact.
The bold text is just a forum bug. Probably the admin working on things. It should resolve itself soon.

The Appalachian School of Law. File photo by David Grace/NET News Service.
GRUNDY, Va. — The Appalachian School of Law in Grundy has announced plans to downsize, capping enrollment at the school's original enrollment base, trim faculty positions and make other adjustments.
ASL Den Lucy McGough and Judge Keary Williams, chair of the ASL Board of Trustees, on Tuesday announced the school will return to a total enrollment of 150-160, the size it enjoyed 10 years ago when the school opened.
Williams said a smaller student body was more in keeping with ASL's mission and original design. Over the last four years enrollment had grown to 250 to 300.

People in France often switched to English when they realized a metro-east school group was American, but Erik McMillan wouldn't have it.
The 16-year-old O'Fallon Township High School student just kept speaking in French, forcing them to switch back. He didn't want to lose an opportunity for practice.
"When we went to Trocadero (a section of Paris near the Eiffel Tower), there were a bunch of vendors bothering us, trying to sell us stuff," he said. "And I kept telling them in French, 'Hey, we don't have any money. Leave us alone.'"
Erik is one of nine students from O'Fallon and Lebanon who traveled to France and Spain this summer, along with seven chaperones and friends.
The trip was organized by Ann Pilackas, French and Spanish teacher at OTHS. She has been taking students to Europe every two years since 2002, following in the footsteps of her predecessor, Cheryl Matzker.
"It exposes students to a culture that they're learning about," said Ann, 49, of Lebanon. "It's not so much about practicing the language, because they're with all their friends. It's more to broaden their horizons."
But Ann applauds students such as Erik, who has taken three years of French and can carry on a conversation (sort of) in the language.
O'Fallon student Emma McClure has French I and II under her belt. On the trip, she could order food at restaurants and ask basic questions.
"Every time you order something, the phrase that you use is, 'Je voudrais ...' and that means 'I would like ...'" said Emma, 17. "And then 'Bonjour' is 'Hello.'
"And then there's 'Merci,' which is 'Thank you.' 'Yes' and 'No" are 'Oui' and 'Non.' And I learned to say, 'I don't speak a lot of French.' That's 'Je ne parle pas beaucoup de Francais.'"
Students found some Parisians to be unfriendly, bordering on rude, but they attributed it to cultural differences.
Ann thinks the French are sometimes irritated by 'ugly Americans,' those who arrogantly expect them to speak English.
"My students know that they should at least try to say 'Hello' in French," she said. "If you just make a small effort, you get a much better reception."
The metro-east group left June 25 and returned July 3, spending three nights in Paris, one night in Nimes, a city in southern France; and three nights in Barcelona, Spain.
They traveled by bus and train, with help from a French tour guide.
"I was surprised at how similar (France was to the United States), just walking down the street," Emma said.
She noticed that many American chains have made their way to Europe, including Starbucks, McDonald's, H&M, The Gap and Claire's. People wear the same fashions and use the same electronic devices.
Students were impressed by France's historic architecture but surprised by the tiny rooms in a nice Paris hotel.
"At the foot of the bed, there was about two feet of walking space," Emma said. "The shower didn't have a door on it. Well, it was like half a door. And the toilets were smaller."
All the metro-east travelers paid their own way for transportation, lodging, sightseeing and other activities, which cost $4,000.
The trip has become a family affair for the Cornells of Lebanon. Olivia went in 2006, followed by sisters Daisy in 2012 and Melody this year.
"It definitely made me want to move out of my small town for college," said Daisy, 18, a recent Lebanon High School graduate. "And it kind of opened the idea of living in a foreign county. It could be a reality."
Daisy, who took four years of Spanish in high school, is heading to University of Illinois at Chicago this fall.
Ann plans to lead her next European adventure in 2016. In the meantime, she encourages all high school students to take a foreign language.
"Students who take foreign languages score higher on their ACTs," she said. "If they take all four years in high school, many universities exempt them from foreign languages, and sometimes they can get college credit.
"It looks good on a resume if you can speak a foreign language, and it improves your English."

Zeeke, the search and rescue dog suddenly alerted, turned and charged up the ridge on private property on Scherer's Hollow Road in Portsmouth on a brisk Wednesday morning. Zeeke is one of the search dogs from Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs, out of Loveland, Ohio, called in to look for a missing Scioto County man.
According to the Scioto County Sheriff's Office, James Laack, 35, of Swauger Valley, has been missing for two weeks and his car was located late last week on the property about 1 1/2 miles up a dirt and rock road that is being worked for future use by the owner.
"He (Zeeke) will follow the trail as far as he can, and if he runs out of scent or he tires out, we have other dogs to bring up," Gloria Napier of Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs said. "There are so many roads up here and it's such a large area to cover."
At around 3:30 p.m. lead investigator Detective Dan Malone said they were calling off the search for the day, but that three search dogs had hit on the same area at the top of the ridge, an area he said overlooks Mabert Road.
"The search and rescue people are going to do a Google search and through their GPS system they will be able to pinpoint where the dogs started and where they ended," Malone said. "I'm going to use that system and get permission to go on that property on Mabert Road and try to go up from that side to see if I can see anything."
The Sheriff's Office has pulled all resources together to work on locating the missing man.
"We had this planned for yesterday (Tuesday)," Scioto County Sheriff's Captain David Hall said. "We had the dogs coming down, and we had a helicopter, but they moved it to today because the weather was bad for a flyover because of the overhead ceiling. We're bringing in a helicopter or plane from the Ohio State Patrol to fly over the area to see if they can pick up anything from the air. It's pretty dense up there so it may be a little difficult. That's why we're using dogs."
Zeeke the search dog began his trek for the day at the site where the car was located. He and his handlers, Keitha Meyer and Ed Jagoddinski, then started up the ridge above the deeply wooded ravines. At the same time, the property owner worked on an area of the road with heavy equipment. Much of the road around where the car was located had been covered by several layers of dirt since the car was removed and taken to the Sheriff's Office.
The lead detective on the case Dan Malone walked the rocky road up the property along with the search crew and explained as he went that the car had been stuck in the mud and it looks as if he was unable to get it out. Malone said five days after Laack was first reported missing he purchased a bottle of vodka at Walmart. He was seen on the security video and appeared to be alone, though the video showed he sat in his car for 45 minutes before entering the store."
"He went to work (at Taylor Lumber) on that Monday (Sept. 24) and at lunch break, he just took off," his grandfather Carl Laack said. "They thought he was going out for lunch, which was very unusual, because he never did, and he took off and nobody has seen him since."
Adding to the unusual behavior, Laack was without any money.
"He had no money. He had access to a bank account that had plenty of money in it," his best friend Matt Humble said. "And he had a paycheck that he never picked up. He was missing Tuesday and could have gotten his paycheck Thursday and he never picked it up. He has no money on him at all. His wallet and everything was found in the car."
The search will continue today.

Who Is David Boreanez's Wife, Jaime Bergman?
David Boreanaz might make sweet love to Emily Deschanel on the small screen, but in real life he's a kept man! We know, we know, heartbreaking –– but he can still be the handsome hero of your semi-erotic journal entries.
Angel — er, David is married to Jaime Bergman, a former Playboy Playmate and actress. Jaime hails from Salt Lake City, and stepped into the spotlight in 1999 when she was crowned the 45th Anniversary Playmate. Good to know that David likes his women with bunny ears. Take note, everyone.
Jaime's Playboy pics were plastered on the walls of every pre-teen this side of the Hollywood Hills, and it wasn't long before she attracted the attention of big time directors in the industry. She co-starred in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday, and also appeared in several TV shows –– including our favorite '90s drama, Beverly Hills 90210!
Jaime met David at one of Hugh Hefner's Valentine's Day parties, (oh, Hugh) and they announced their engagement in August of 2001. These lovebirds got married on November 24th 2001 (Turkey Day), and before long Jaime popped out Baby Jaden and Baby Bella!
Nowadays, Jaime works for Howard Stern Productions and lives the lifestyle of the rich and famous with our boo David B. She's one seriously lucky lady!

Words: Stevie KearneyAge is just a number. If you're old enough, you're good enough. We all know the clichés concerning age. The advantage of being young is people are more forgiving of your errors. Thankfully, 16-year-old Aberdeen singer-songwriter Cara Mitchell seems intent on not making any mistakes.With a glittering CV already including support acts for Rachel Sermanni, Pearl & the Puppets and Juan Zelada, she has been carefully crafting a reputation in the north-east as not just a singer of renown, but a talented songwriter in her own right.With a voice which stands comparison with artists like Regina Spektor and Ellie Goulding, Cara Mitchell has carved her own niche in one of the most over-subscribed sectors in music - the female singer/songwriter.And that is what is so interesting about her music - it's not about age, but about the softest and most alluring voice, which draws you near before imparting its wisdom. Sometimes the best way to command a room is to whisper. Cara Mitchell has this quality.Her live acts have mesmerised audiences in Aberdeen and beyond, but she remains a little aloof, keeping a sensible distance between herself and her growing reputation."There's never a set reason for writing a song. I guess anything that happens to me can lead to ideas and I take it from there", she says, giving little of her process away.Expanding on the point, she opens up a little, "When I write I improvise. I never really plan out a song. I have a notebook that I use for noting lyrics and ideas that come into my head. Mostly I just get random urges to go and play guitar".It is the simplicity of working alone and being your own boss which appeals. She is currently under safe management and getting the right gigs, so there seems no compelling reason to change a winning formula.There would be no shortage of collaborators in the queue if she were to look for other musicians to work alongside, but she remains grounded on the path ahead: "I think further down the line I would like to experiment with other people being involved, but we'll see where it goes."Her vocals are the main point of distinction at this stage, although she remains particularly down to earth when quizzed about how she plans to stand out from the crowd: "Apart from maybe wearing a chicken suit when I go on stage, I think that by continuing to work hard and writing music, hopefully things will continue being as positive as they've been so far."Cara Mitchell is an innate songwriter, able to capture a mood or a feeling in verse with apparent ease. This, to her, is just something she does - an ordinary talent in an ordinary world. What is actually emerging is an extraordinary new talent.Watch Cara Mitchell live at the following gigs:24 May: supporting Gemma Hayes at The Tunnels, Aberdeen6 June: supporting Jonah Matranga/Dave McPherson (inMe) at The Tunnels, Aberdeen 3 July: Bloc Bar, GlasgowMini tour with Megan Blyth: 24 Aug at Cellar, Aberdeen , 25 Aug at Newmarket Bar, Thurso, 26 Aug at Market Bar, Inverness Cara Mitchell elsewhere: Official site | Facebook | SoundCloud | YouTube | Twitter

Impassioned, polemical, and rebellious, the Futurist movement exalted the modern world by placing machines, speed, and technology at the heart of its artistic experimentations. Futurism embodied the same reality that it tried to capture: a dynamism that reflected the changing structure of the visible world. This landmark survey, published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's "Manifesto of Futurism", traces the movement from its origins in Italy to the international creative forum.Richly illustrated with 130 works by luminaries such as Boccioni, Balla, Picasso, Braque, Leger, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Duchamp, and Malevich, the book explores different modes of expression within shared themes: the lighting of modern cities, dance, crowd movement, and the speed of new mechanical means of transport. Featuring essays by the world's leading authorities on Futurism and the avant-grade, "Futurism" is a radical reassessment of the movement and essential for understanding the genesis of many of modernism's greatest works.
