Are You Doing Laundry Right? We've Got The Do's And Don'ts!

Prep: Check Labels
Decoding the symbols on clothing labels can feel a lot like taking a test—one that you definitely don't want to fail. Here's what you need to know to pass with flying colors:
1. The machine wash symbol refers to the temperature that should be used to wash the item. If the symbol contains one dot, you wash in cold, two dots, you wash in warm, and three dots, you wash in hot. If there is an X over the symbol, head to your nearest dry cleaners.
2. The bleach symbol refers to whether or not you should use chlorine bleach. If it's a plain white triangle, proceed with caution, if there is an X over it, then steer clear!
3. The tumble dry symbol refers to drying methods. A white circle indicates you can use any heat, one dot means use a low temperature, two dots, normal temperature, and three dots means high temperature.
4. The dry clean symbol indicates just that: whether or not you need to dry clean the piece. If you see a big X, that's your cue to use the washing machine.

Prep: Separate and Treat
Separate your laundry into four piles: whites, lights, darks, and delicates. (Note: if you want to reduce the amount of loads, you can combine whites and lights.)
- 4 of 14
Prep: Last-Minute Check
Make sure to empty out all pockets, close zippers to prevent snagging, turn denim and embellished pieces inside out, pre-treat any stains, and put your delicates (underpinnings, lingerie, tights, and anything with lace) in mesh bags.
- 5 of 14
Washing: Cold Water
Cold water is good for fine fabrics and delicates, sweaters, denim, and clothes that may shrink. It also protects new items with dark and bright colors from running.
- 6 of 14
Washing: Warm Water
Warm water works best with whites and lights. Combined with detergent, the water temperature helps lift soil and stains while removing bacteria.
- 7 of 14
Washing: Hot Water
Hot water is the best choice for heavily stained items and disinfecting dish and bath towels and washcloths.
- 8 of 14
Washing: Detergents
1. Color-safe bleach works on all colors and helps removes stains. (Note: this does not disinfect your clothing like chlorine bleach.)
2. Chlorine bleach helps brighten whites. You should never use on color fabrics! If your machine does not have a bleach dispenser, make sure to dilute the bleach with water first before putting it on your clothes.
3. Fabric softener is a conditioner that keeps towels soft and fluffy and prevents static cling.
- 9 of 14
Washing: Fill The Machine
Step One: Start filling the machine water.
Step Two: Once the machine is a third full of water, add detergent and/or bleach.
Step Three: When the detergent and bleach are completely dissolved in the water, add your clothes. The maximum load size is three-quarters full.
- 10 of 14
Washing: Cycles
1. Regular or "normal" combines fast agitation with a fast spin cycle and is good for heavily-stained items, cottons, linen, denim, towels, and bedding.
2. Permanent Press combines fast agitation with a slow spin and is good for synthetic fibers (knits and polyesters) and prevents wrinkling.
3. Delicate cycle combines slow agitation with a slow spin and is good for washable silks and wools, garments with embellishments, lingerie, and sheer fabrics.
- 11 of 14
Washing: Hand Washing
Fill a kitchen or bathroom sink with cool or warm water and a little detergent. Let your delicates soak for 15-20 minutes and then rinse in clear water two to three times. Hang dry.
- 12 of 14
Drying: Cycles
1. Regular (High Heat) setting is good for whites, jeans, towels, sheets, linens, and items that are pre-shrunk. Do not use this setting with clothing washed in hot water.
2. Permanent Press (Medium Heat) setting prevents colored garments from fading and ensures your clothes do not wrinkle or lose their shape. Do not use this setting for delicates because they will lose their shape.
3. Delicate (Low Heat) setting uses a slower speed to gently dry fragile clothing and is good for knits and frail fabrics.
- 13 of 14
Drying: Hang or Flat Drying
Hang drying is the best method for sturdy items, cottons, polyesters, silks, and fabrics that do not stretch. A good tip is to pin your tops by the hemline to avoid bunching at the shoulders. Knits and wool sweaters should be dried on a flat surface.
- 14 of 14
Drying: Quick Tricks
1. Throw a clean dry towel in the dryer with wet clothes. The towel will help absorb the moisture, allowing the clothing to dry much quicker. If you prefer to flat
2. If clothes are dry, but wrinkled—a case of "you left them sitting in the dryer too long"—toss in a clean, damp towel and turn on the dryer for 15 minute intervals into wrinkles are gone.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate
In a pure democracy we as citizens would have the opportunity to vote on every issue, from whether our town would raise dog licenses by $5 or if our country was going to war. But that's not the way it works. We have a representative type of democracy so we elect people to represent our views and hopefully that's what they are supposed to do.
While it is pretty naive to believe people in Washington that are supposed to represent us as individuals or even as citizens of Carbon County do so the way they should, I believe it is realistic to imagine that local officials really do care what we think and would go to any lengths to find out those views.
That's why I was sorely disappointed in the vote that was taken in the county commission meeting concerning the so called mineral lease scholarship-endowment last Wednesday night.
It's not that I am opposed to the idea that is explained in my story about the county commission meeting on today's front page. It's just the opposite. I think the concept is a good one, an idea that has a lot of merit, although it needs more thought and work before finalization.
I am however, opposed to public servants not giving all citizens the chance to attend a public hearing on such a matter and a fair chance to comment on the issue before the base decision is made.
There was talk at the end of the discussion about having a public meeting concerning the details of the move, because as of yet no specific details have been put together. But public discussion should be done before even a "concept" is approved because that is the action which sets everything else in motion. Details should only come later, when the main issue is settled.
Some of the commission may have thought there was public discussion on the issue, but there really was little of it, because almost no one knew it was going on, except supporters.The agenda item noted "discussion and possible approval.' But based on my experience over the past three years of covering these meetings, that usually means some study will take place before any vote is rendered.
This whole thing makes me feel like someone has made an agreement to purchase a car of their choice for me and are now telling me to pay for it.

Wrigley Field has been the site of so much heartbreak that some fans who spend their whole lives waiting for a winner ask their families, if they can pull it off, to sneak their ashes inside to be scattered in the friendly confines, a final resting place to keep on waiting. But before years turned into decades and decades turned into a century without a World Series title, Wrigley Field was in first time and time again in changing the way we watch baseball and the experience for fans in ballparks around the country. Today, the Cubs are trying to play catch up with a project as dramatic as the one that resulted in a new scoreboard and brick outfield wall: a $500 million project that includes the kind of massive Jumbotron that towers over every other major league stadium. The historic ballpark will celebrate it's 100th anniversary on April 23, 2014. (AP Photo/Courtesy of the Chicago Cubs, File)

Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Luke 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful (OrdinatioSacerdotalis 4).
So that's it. Anyone who believes in female ordination places themselves outside the Catholic belief. There is no weasel room on this issue. Your former priest might debate the pros and cons, but if he actually believes in female ordination then he is apostate, end of story.

CUMBERLAND – The old phrase "Familiarity breeds contempt" took a beating at the Arnold Mills Four-Mile Road Race on steamy Fourth of July morning.
Perhaps a better way to put the overall mood after Northeastern University junior-to-be Brian Doyle, the 20-year-old son of former Ocean State marathon great Bobby Doyle, crossed the finish line in a cautious but solid winning time of 21:07: The mutual admiration society.
The elite harriers contending for the supremacy in the men's Open Division (18-39) included Doyle; his kid brother Connor (both of Swansea); multi-time Mills victor Chris Magill of Cumberland; Colin Tierney of East Greenwich; and Bobby Hartnett, the former Cumberland High All-Stater and Columbia University graduate.
Seconds after capturing his second crown in four years – he previously had won the race in 2010 – Doyle spoke of how hard it was to reign, given not only the heat and humidity but the quality of those participating.
Heck, he even praised Race Director Tom Kenwood and starter Keith Lawton, and for outstanding reason.
"I've probably missed only two of these over the past 10 years, and it's because I like to come out and try to support Mr. Lawton and Mr. Kenwood for all they do (for the racing world)," he stated between sips of precious cold water. "There were a lot of great runners here, and we were in a pack through the first two miles or so.
"I know I won it back in 2010, right after I graduated from high school," he added. "I ran a faster time then than now, but I'm not disappointed at all. With the heat the way it was, we had to watch the pace. In both cases, I sat behind the leader for about two miles, and decided to make a kick at about two-and-a-half.
"I felt fine; that's the fastest I've gone in a long time. I didn't think I'd be that quick as I'm doing a lot more distance training," in preparation of representing the Northeastern men's cross-country and indoor and outdoor track squads next season. "I'm really pleased, especially in a field like this."
Hendricken High senior-to-be Colin Tierney of East Greenwich took second in 21:14, and the younger Doyle third just 12 seconds behind. David Phipps, 21, of Attleboro snared fourth in 21:34, and the 40-year-old Magill fifth in 21:34.
Kim Chula-McGuire, a 38-year-old physical therapist working in Pawtucket but who lives in Cumberland, led the women's Open surge to claim the title in 25:47.
"I'm just mad this chump beat me," grinned Connor, 18, while pointing toward Tierney. "No, I'm only kidding; that kid can run! You know, I'm really happy with the time. I haven't really worked out since June 15 (while training for the New Balance National Interscholastic Outdoor Track & Field Championships at North Carolina A&T University). I ran the 5-K (3.1 miles) in 15:12, and I think I finished 26th overall.
"I'm just happy I beat some of the other guys here; there were a lot of good runners in this race, like Bobby and Chris and, obviously, Brian," he continued. "I know they're better than I am. I just wanted to try to hold 5:20 (splits) each mile, and I pretty much did that."
The younger Doyle plans on competing for the University of Massachusetts-Lowell this fall as a freshman. UML will join the NCAA Division I ranks in cross-country and track for the first time.
"We were all in a pack for the first mile or so, and I was really surprised at the slower pace; some of the (elite) runners fell off. I mean, Magill has won this how many times? That caught me off-guard when I passed him. He stuck around for a while, and I thought he was going to kick. I slowed down for a few strides to see who was going to move up. When some started to catch up, I knew I didn't have a choice but to kick.
"This is my best-ever finish here, so I'll take it."
Tierney, whose father Scott ran for Kenwood as a Clipper and graduated an All-Stater in 1984, finished third in the 3,000 meters at the state championships at Brown on June 1 (8:57), then mustered eighth in the New England meet (9:22) before attending the nationals.
At that event, he ran the 5,000 meters in 14:59, and became the second fastest Rhode Island schoolboy ever while placing 17th.
"The heat was brutal," Tierney chuckled afterward. "That's why the pace wasn't that fast at the start (Magill led at the mile mark in 5:16). I was running second behind Brian the last 1 ½ miles, and there was no way I was going to catch him. Then again, there was no reason to; I just wanted to come out and put in a workout."
The good news for Tierney: He bettered his 2011 placement by one, as he gained third.
Chula-McGuire, who also represents the Ronald McDonald House Running Club of Providence, earned yet another crown at the Mills race, but couldn't recall the last time.
"My goals here were simple: I wanted to run a smart race and not melt in the heat," she noted. "It was pretty tough out there, but a lot of people (watching and cheering) sprayed water on us, or gave us water, and they were so helpful. That's always the case in the race.
"We had to run a real tactical race because it was so hot and humid," she added. "I felt very fluid until the third mile; we were on Sun Valley Drive, and there's a very short but steep hill right there. When you're at 3.5 (miles) and you're fighting your way up that hill, it's tough, especially when it feels like it's 100 degrees out there. It seemed like Mount Everest – without the snow.
"Actually, I wish there had been snow; we'd have been cooler! I didn't do my best time (on the course), as I thought one year I was a little faster, but I'm still satisfied. I had been injured for a year or so – it was a labral tear in my hip – and didn't do any running until March. That drove me crazy, taking the time off, but it's been going well."
In that women's Open division, Shelby Cuddeback settled for second in 26:05, and Lauren Lapierre third in 26:33.
Kenwood indicated beforehand that he had approximately 130 distance aficionados of all ages pre-register for the race, but expected over 600 total with race-day signups taking place at the busy North Cumberland Fire Station. As always, he had a huge field.
One of those pre-registrants happened to be Doug Fownes, grandfather to recent CHS graduate and harrier Tom Fownes, who finished the four-mile trek in 22:12, good for 11th overall.
"This is my first race since I turned 70, and this marks the eighth decade I've done a road race," grinned Doug, who flew in from London to take part in the event and get together with family in Cumberland on the holiday. "I love this Arnold Mills race!"
That came of no surprise. In the Senior Veteran Male division (for those 70-and-over), he took third in 49:45. Jack Thornhill snagged that category's top spot in a superb 27:55, while Phil Ryan placed second in 42:59.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Now that snow has begun to blanket Huntington Canyon, some of the slopes in the upper reaches have begun to look like some sort of abstract painting: hundreds of short black lines drawn on a pure white background.
Each black stroke was once a tree. But that was before the Seeley Fire last summer.
While the fire damage to the 48,000 acres of forest land was bad, and even worse insult to the land was to come. Torrential rainfall - a 75-year storm - pounded the barren earth, causing floods, erosion and extensive damage to the highway, campgrounds and trails of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. It altered the landscape.
"If you remember, Crandall Creek used to flow right into Huntington Creek," said Forest Engineer Seth Wallace during a recent tour of the canyon. "Huntington Creek is now about four feet lower and Crandall Creek comes in as a little waterfall."
Damage is apparent elsewhere in the canyon. At Horse Canyon, the flood undercut Highway 31. Elsewhere, debris clogged culverts, creating small lakes.
A gigantic logjam created a temporary lake at the Left Fork Campground. A little rivulet along a trail at Pole Canyon has widened into a deep gully.
USFS soil scientist Bob Davidson explained how rainwater can gain such awesome force after a fire.
When the soil is barren, each raindrop picks up particles when in slams into the earth. Those suspended dirt particles make the fluid much more dense that the one gram per milliliter of purse water.
The heavier fluid is much more buoyant than water, so it can carry bigger, heavier debris and hit with more kinetic energy.
That is why the 28 campgrounds and 20 trails in Huntington Canyon were damaged or destroyed, even though they were unharmed by the fire.
"We'll probably leave them closed this coming year, then assess them from a safety standpoint," said District Ranger Darren Olsen.
While the campgrounds may be closed, there has been and will be recovery efforts under way. The Forest Service approved $1.9 million in emergency funding based on recommendations from the Burned Area Emergency Response team.
The money is going for activities such as seeding, mulching, and various earthworks to prevent or contain floods.
Wallace pointed out a few of the recovery efforts under way.
Debris basins at Nuck Woodward, Engineers and Hughes are three of the seven earthen structures the Forest Service has constructed. The basins contain and slow flood waters, while log debris racks act like big strainers.
Nuck Woodward Road had significant repairs for stabiliation, debris removal and grading along its entire seven-mile length.

That Dude in The Post : Sheed
via NY Post:
"Passion, just sitting watching the way some of the guys you call great post players not playing in the post,'' Wallace said. "It's the passion to come back and show y'all how post players really need to play — old-school basketball. Y'all are used to all this new, young stuff, high-flying and dunking. That's not basketball. Terrible footwork by a lot of young guys out here. Let's go back to old-school basics.''
Chris Alvino
I caught a little bit of the training camp special yesterday and I was lucky enough to catch the segment on Rasheed Wallace. Alan Hahn (I believe it was Hahn) spoke about how Wallace joined the rest of the bigs working on their post moves and apparently taught them a few things about how to play on the block.
Even if Sheed goes on to play sparingly in a handful of games, his presence should help to get more out of the stars – Melo, Chandler and Amare. Rasheed Wallace might be a headcase, but he knows the game. In his prime, Wallace was one of the league's premier power forwards.
As an aside, I have been impressed by all of the footage I have seen of the action and interviews held at Knicks' camp. This team looks like it is going to have a toughness that has not been seen in years.

In the late 1960s Serge Moscovici developed a theory of social influence that investigated how minority groups influence majority groups and vice versa. Since then, the theory has been elaborated quite a bit to include in-groups and out-groups and to consider the relevance of the message and the context in which messages are delivered.
Lately, we've been hearing a lot about majorities, minorities, and super-majorities in Washington, DC. With the election of Scott Brown to the Senate the Democrats have lost their filibuster-proof "super-majority" and with the hearings on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (the military's approach to sexuality) minority messages are being heard in different ways. And with the actions of the Blue Dog group in the Democratic Party and the Tea Party movement in the Republican party there are even in-group minority groups hoping to influence policy. So how are these groups making their voices heard and what can social psychology tell us about their techniques and successes?
For instance, take the case of Joe Lieberman and the Blue Dog group and their influence on the healthcare bill. One way that minorities can influence outcomes is by getting a majority member to deflect (Joe Lieberman). This also often results in other majority members feeling like they, too, can deflect if the majority message is not fully in line with their views (as the Blue Dogs did). Another way that minorities can influence the majority is to have an in-group member side with their position. We have seen this in the case of Admiral Mullen testifying that as a member of the military he feels that it is time to repeal "Don't ask, Don't tell." His position as an in-group member of the military helps the minority message, and this was strategically matched on the opposing side with testimony by John McCain, a former military hero (and therefore also an in-group member) arguing an opposing message.
Another example of minority influence occurred when President Obama began building his cabinet and justified appointments that some deemed as too conservative. His argument that this would spur innovation is in line with social psychologist's findings that the presence of minorities in groups is "related to more team innovation and effectiveness." Whether this has been the case over the past year is debatable. But there is no doubt that the fledging Tea Party is hoping to use its influence as a vocal in-group minority to push its Republican Party away from the center. How this will play out also remains to be seen. It is important to note, however, that all of these situations involve subjective decisions (ones driven by personal beliefs, emotions, etc.) rather than objective decisions (such as correct answers to a math problem) which further complicate the outcomes.
This application to the political arena is just one application of majority and minority influence theories. As Crano and Seyranian (2009) argue, the theory is also helpful in understanding workgroups, juries, community organizations, classrooms, wars, and international relations.

Wayne Township (IN) Battalion Chief Todd Taylor and company demonstrate a method of accessing a tractor trailer cab through the roof. Sponsored by Holmatro.
[MUSIC] Hello and welcome to fire engineering's training minutes. My name's Todd Taylor, I'm a Battalion Chief for the Wayne Township Fire Department. Today we're here to look at a cab that's rolled over onto its side. And we have limited access. To reach the driver or the passengers. You may have to breach through the top of the sleeper and the cab itself, in order to do that. As we go in, we do our 360, we're going to look at the front windshield. We could take the front windshield out but it's going to limit our access to taking the driver out. Most of our drivers are going to be trapped in the seated position, hopefully wearing their seatbelt, and somewhere around the steering wheel. So we'd have to manipulate them around the steering wheel to get them out. The best way to do it is gonna be to breach the top. With the advent of all the aerodynes and the fiberglass, it makes it much easier for us to do. We've done our 360 to ensure there are no other hazards involved in a scene. We've also stabilized the tuck itself. What we're getting ready to do now is make access to the cab itself. In this case was have some sort of a sun roof or a moon roof. You may not have that. If that's not there simply make an inspection hole. As we come up, this may or may not be laminated glass. We're going to make a punch through. That will give us room to get the sawsall in. The sawsall will go to work. As we move around to the back. We also have to get somebody inside of the cab, it's very important. In order to get inside the cab, you may have to make the hole in back bigger or breach the cab itself. If you breach that cab, make sure that you take a look inside to see if we don't have anybody there. The job of the position on the inside is not only to assess the driver. It's to assess any of the hazards that are inside. We're using a Saw Zaw blade to cut through. Saw Zaw blades maybe get jammed up on any of the interior pieces that are there. The person on the inside of the cab is gonna assist with those finds, and ask Zack to stop. Cutting the window out, these guys live in these cabs you may find some homemade piece of equipment or even some pre manufactured stuff inside the cabs, that are gonna cause you problems during [UNKNOWN], and again, you're in here. Recon person can assess that to make sure that your Sawzall doesn't get cut up, caught up. [LAUGH] Great access through the, the top of the cab. Now we're bringing that Sawzall back. And with the advent of the aerodyne this entire cab can be opened up, give us great access to the interior. The driver may very well be trapped just by the steering wheel or by the air seat. May also be trapped by about anything else that could be in there. By getting us as much access as we can, this will supply the best way to get in. You first admit a gun inside the cab. They're actually pulling apart the interior. That will allow that recon person to take a look. That were you saw the blade in. We've also taken an air chisel on the inside with us, so that we can remove any of the obstacles that maybe there. Most of your air time, most of the top of you cab, are all, [UNKNOWN] gonna be fiberglass. Saw jaw gonna be just fine getting through that. You may have to have a ladder to access the top of it, or you can go [INAUDIBLE]. Maybe bring a roll back wrecker in to that done. You are gonna have some sort of support stringers going from left to right and front to back and they have to overcome. That just provides additional support for the aerodyne itself. This technique allows us to work with a limited. Limited number of rescuers able to perform the most work to get the biggest access into the cab. Again as you've seen the 'cause on the air's result, really is a [UNKNOWN] tool, that were going to use on this operation. [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE]. The interior and the exterior rescuers are now working together, at this point, to finish the breach. And as you can see, the entire top of the cabin's come off. It is a large opening for us to get into to access our victim. By using an air chisel and a [UNKNOWN], we've been able to access the entire roof. Of the cab. It made the opening large enough, not only could we access the victim, possibly take the victim out on a backboard, but if we had to do any additional extrication, we can take our extrication tools into the pathway that we've made. Making it easier for us to access not only the victim but any of the entrapments. Thank you, for watching Fire Engineering's Training Minutes. Thank you to Halmatra for sponsoring this. My name is Todd Taylor.

September 26, 2009,
The story started out to be a pictorial look at the parade from a parents view only to go south when the Firemen in the paraed had to divert into a building for an emergency. The parade didn't miss a step as the guided around the parked Fire trucks.
There were a few other hickups, a float breaking down, and a couple of marchers having to drop out along the way. Others really came to the aid to push the dead float or to offer water to the fallen marchers and watch them to make sure they were ok.
All in all I thought it went great, from a parent's point of view that is..

A Mistake with Repercussions
The first is: why did it take so long to correct this error, and why did the authors of the original paper not correct it themselves? The error is reasonably easy to spot, even for non-specialists (see addendum). And it was in fact spotted very soon after publication. In January 2005, a comment was submitted to Science which correctly pointed out that Von Storch et al. had calibrated with detrended data and had therefore not tested the Mann et al. method. As such comments are routinely passed to the original authors for a response, Von Storch et al. must have become aware of their mistake at this point at the latest. However, the comment was rejected by Science in May 2005.
In a paper dated July 2005, Zorita and Von Storch admit their error in passing, writing: "the trend is subtracted prior to the fit of the MBH regression/inflation model (von Storch et al. 2004). […] It seems, however, that MBH have exploited the trends". It is thus clear that they knew that their central claim of the Science paper, namely that they had tested the Mann et al. method, was false. But rather than publishing a correction in Science, they wrote the above in a non-ISI journal called "Memorie della Societa Astronomica Italiana" that not many climatologists would read.
An unambiguous correction in Science, where the original paper appeared, would not only have been good scientific practice. It would have been particularly important given the large public and political impact of their paper. It would have been a matter of courtesy towards their colleagues Mike Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes, who had suffered a major challenge to their scientific reputations as well as having to invest a large amount of time to deal with the Congressional enquiry mentioned above. And it would have been especially pertinent given the unusually vitriolic media statements made previously: in an interview with a leading German news magazine, Von Storch had denounced the work of Mann, Bradley and Hughes as "nonsense" ("Quatsch"). And in a commentary written for the March 2005 German edition of "Technology Review", Von Storch accused the journal Nature for putting their sales interests above peer review when publishing the Mann et al. 1998 paper. He also called the IPCC "stupid" and "irresponsible" for highlighting the results of Mann et al. in their 2001 report.
There were at least two further issues with the Von Storch et al. paper:
– The model run of Von Storch et al. suffers from a major climate drift due to an inappropriate initialisation procedure. Despite starting in medieval times, the model was initialised from a present-day, rather than pre-industrial, climate state – i.e. from a climate affected by human-caused warming. As a result, the Northern Hemisphere temperature in the model drops by about 1.5 ºC during the initial 100-year adjustment phase and keeps drifting down for the coming centuries. This problem is never mentioned and this part of the experiment is not shown in publications, although climate modellers know that such severe disequilibrium must cause a long-lasting climate drift in the remainder of the run. After Osborn et al. (2006) documented this problem, Von Storch et al. repeated their experiment with improved initialisation. Their new run shows that about half the cooling from medieval times to the 19th Century in their original paper was due to this artificial drift, but again they have not published a correction or demonstrated the impact of this issue (see addendum).
– Von Storch et al. also looked at another model, stating: "Similar results are obtained with a simulation with the third Hadley Centre coupled model (HadCM3), demonstrating that the results obtained here are not dependent on the particular climate characteristics of the ECHO-G simulation." They have repeatedly made similar claims in the media. This is important, as any model result is considered somewhat preliminary until confirmed with an independent model. However, their statement appears to us to be a serious misrepresentation of the HadCM3 results which were shown only in the online supplement to their paper (see addendum).

(October 2, 2008) – The California State University and AT&T California Road to College tour stopped in Oakland today to increase access to college for students at the McClymonds Educatioal Complex.
A $1.6 million four-year contribution from the AT&T Foundation, the philanthropic arm of AT&T Corp., (NYSE:T) will fund the CSU College Corps program to provide college advising for 1,000 high school students, as well as the Road to College bus tour, a statewide education and outreach campaign centered on improving underserved student access to the CSU system.
"Supporting education has been a major focus for AT&T for more than a century, and through the Aspire initiative launched in April, education is now the key focus of our philanthropy," said Ken McNeely, president, AT&T California. "We are driven by helping students succeed – in school, in the workforce and in life. The Road to College and CSU College Corps program will provide students in communities across the state with the tools to succeed and we are pleased to be partnered with CSU."
More than 150 students boarded the 40-foot high-impact "wired" bus. The bus is wrapped with the CSU's "Road to College" theme, and completed with Internet-ready laptop computers with links to CSUMentor, the university's online planning and application website.
"We know that the best way to help underserved students understand what it takes to go to college is to reach out into the communities where they live and go to school," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "The Road to College is a hands-on experience where students have the opportunity to see for themselves how to apply, where to get financial aid, and how to successfully navigate the path to college. We look forward to seeing these students at CSU campuses in the future."
During the stop, students were able to explore CSU's 23 campuses, begin a student planner, fill out a college application on CSUMentor, and receive information about financial aid and scholarships.
In addition to the Road to College tour, the AT&T Foundation contribution will be used to fund the CSU College Corps pilot program, which will use CSU upper division and graduate students in counseling and related career programs to offer pre-college advising to underserved high school students. The program will initially be deployed through CSU campuses at Los Angeles, San Marcos, Bakersfield, Fresno and East Bay, with the goal to provide advising to 1,000 ninth through twelfth grade students during each academic year for four years.
The goal is to augment the work of high school guidance counselors who are increasingly challenged to provide assistance with pre-college academic advising and college course preparation because of high demands on their time for their own coursework, curriculum and mandatory testing.
CSU's Road to College tour will run through Oct. 3 to coincide with the start of the CSU's application period and with the CSU counselor conferences aimed at high schools and community college counselors. The bus will stop at schools, college fairs and counselor conferences in the Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento, San Jose and Oakland areas.

Carbon High defenders Katie Basinger (left), Ashley Quinton (middle) and Shailee Croasmun (right) work together to prevent Payson's Savannah Stewart from breaking through the Lady Dino press defense. The Lady Dinos used a strong defensive performance during their 52-26 win on Tuesday night.
Katie Basinger drives to the basket against the Payson defense during the second half of Carbon High's 52-26 win on Tuesday night.
Ashley Quinton breaks through the Payson defense before shooting a jump shot during play in the first half. Quinton scored two points but also added a number of rebounds and steals on defense in the win.
On any given night, an offense may not be playing up to its potential. But a tough, hard-nosed defense that keeps opponents from getting settled in can be a stalwart for a team over the course of a season.
For the Carbon High Lady Dinos, a strong defensive performance kept Payson off balance as the Lady Dinos ran away with a 52-26 win in their Region 12 opener on Tuesday night at the Carbon High Gymnasium.
The Carbon defense pounced on the Lady Lions from the opening tip as they utilized a full-court press and disrupted passing lanes all game long leading to a number of turnovers and baskets throughout the game.
Leading 10-4 at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Dinos went on a 13-0 to open the second quarter opening up their largest lead of the half at 23-4.
Payson's offense finally got going in the third quarter but by then it was too late. The Lady Dinos never lead by less than 10 points the rest of the way.
While the Carbon High offense did not convert all of their steals into points, many times they would drive to the basket and get fouled in the process.
Head coach Ted Bianco said he was pleased with the defensive performance which kept Payson from making a comeback in the second half.
"We want to put defensive pressure on the ball all game long," said Bianco. "Payson was a little physical with us tonight but I thought our girls responded well to the challenge."
The win over Payson comes after the Lady Dinos dropped a close 53-44 game to Uintah last week. Bianco said the team had an opportunity to win the game but things fell apart in the final quarter leading the to the loss.
Against Payson, the Lady Dinos pounded the ball inside to junior Shelby Cornforth, who finished with a team-high 11 points. When they weren't getting the ball down to Cornforth in the paint, junior Shailee Croasmun, sophomore Katie Basinger drove to the basket and were able to find open teammates near the basket or were fouled and had opportunities at the free throw line.
"We got ourselves off on a good note in Region 12 play with this win," Bianco explained noting the team got the ball down low in the paint consistently, made some jump shots and got a lot of points from the bench in the game.
Basinger added 10 points for the Lady Dinos who saw a total of nine players score at least two points.
Now heading into a road game with Spanish Fork (5-7, 1-0 Region 12) on Friday at 5:15 p.m., the Lady Dinos must shore up a few things including their communication on defense which Bianco said was lacking in parts of the second half. Another area the Lady Dinos (8-4, 1-0 Region 12) can work on is free throw shooting after finishing (16-of-30, 53 percent) for the game.
"Spanish Fork is a very athletic team. We will need to rebound well and defend well if we want to walk away with a win," he said.

Alderson would like clarity on David Wright's & R.A. Dickey's situations by Winter Meetings
According to Marc Carig of Newsday, Sandy Alderson is not necessarily seeking a resolution to either David Wright's or R.A. Rickey's contract situation right now, but would like some clarity after Thanksgiving and before the Winter Meetings.
"At some point we need resolution on these discussions to be able to move on, but that time is not now," Alderson said, according to Carig.
Alderson does not believe Dickey winning the Cy Young will impact negotiations, since he expected he would win, Carig explains.
The Winter Meetings take place from December 4-6 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Last month, the Mets exercised the 2013 options for both Wright and Dickey – Wright will earn $16 million in 2013 and Dickey will earn $5 million. Both can become free agents after next season.

It's been nearly two months since the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but we still can't stop thinking about Gwyneth Paltrow's stunning custom Prada dress--particularly the paillette-embroidered pockets! The layered sequins not only lent the high-neck halter dress a touch of playfulness and just the right amount of textural intrigue, but were also a cool nod to spring's popular underwater trend. The result was undeniably interesting and definitely memorable, which begged the question: How does one go about getting this look? Luckily, with just a few easy-to-find ingredients, creating your very own Prada-inspired skirt is a cinch, and we're showing you just how to do it in this month's Do It Yourself story!
The Inspiration
While some of you may remember that paillettes played a major role in Prada's F/W 11 collection, we should note that these iridescent, scale-like sequins have shimmied their way into the spotlight for spring and summer too! In fact, we've spotted them on everything from glamorous tops to slinky dresses, as well as party-perfect skirts! And seeing as Paltrow's paillette pockets landed her on the top of many a best-dressed list that evening, including our own, we jumped at this DIY opportunity. With Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This as our right-hand woman, we assembled a nifty Prada-inspired skirt that is bound to garner loads of attention, so read on for all of the need-to-know directions. Also, in celebration of tonight's premiere of TLC's new competition show, Craft Wars, judge Domesek has shared her five DIY essentials for summer, which you can see exclusively on our blog now!--Jessica Baker
American Apparel Jersey Pocket Skirt ($30)
-6mm Sequins ($4)
-20mm Paillettes ($6)
-Stapler ($8)
-Staples ($4)
-Needle & Thread
-Aleene's Tacky Glue ($5)
1. Place your skirt so that it lies completely flat on a sturdy surface. Using the multicolored paillettes and a stapler, secure each paillette to the skirt's pockets, starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top. Make sure to completely cover the pocket, alternate colors, and overlap as you go.
2. Once the entire pocket is covered with the paillettes, glue smaller sequins along the top of the pocket so that they cover the staples. Note: you can also scatter and glue small clusters of sequins on top of the paillettes for more texture. Wait approximately 20 minutes until the glue is completely dry.
3. Once the glue is completely dry, use a needle and thread to stitch some of the smaller sequins to the top of the pocket.

By Steve Sedlis, Contributing writer
Most people who encounter an emergency really want to help, but are reluctant. Some are worried about media coverage, interacting with authorities, legal hassles, or backlash from those involved. But the big reason people don't stop to help, is because they don't know what to do, and are fearful of doing more harm than good.
So how can you be ready?
First of all, you have to decide that you no longer will stay on the sidelines when something happens. Even if it means finding a phone and calling it in, that's more than many people do. But even before you do that, there are some things to keep in mind:
1. The No. 1 factor in rescuing someone is the safety of the rescuer. For example, if you can't swim, don't dive in to save someone who is drowning. If you aren't trained or equipped to intervene in a particular situation, back away or get out, go to someplace safe, and call it in. If you get hurt or killed, you can't help anyone else.
2. The standard reporting questions apply -- who, what, when, why, where and how. You are the eyes and ears on the scene; 911 personnel need specific information to enable them to send the right help and in the right strength. Where are you? Name of the place? Floor or apartment number? What did the bad people look like? How many? Where did they go? What kind of car? Plate number? Any hazards the responders need to know about? Fluids, gases, smoke or fire? Weapons? Is someone hurt? Are they conscious? Bleeding? Breathing?
Put yourself in the place of a responder. Whether police, fire or EMS, you want to know where you're going and what to expect before you get there.
Don't hang up until the 911 operator says you can. If you don't know exactly where you are, stay on the phone until responders reach you. If you speak a foreign language, an interpreter can be contacted for you to speak with. Many 911 centers have the technology to accept text messaging from cell phones or PDAs.
3. While you need to be in a secure location out of harm's way, be available for responders to interview you. Don't walk or drive away. Be as specific as you can in answering questions, but if you don't know, say so. Don't guess or speculate. If this is a criminal matter, you may be called as a witness in court. Don't fear this; it is an integral part of the justice system. Everyone involved will help you along the way.
4. In medical situations, the operator may have a set of instructions to help you in administering aid to someone sick or injured. This is the real deal; your involvement before responders arrive may make the difference between life and death. Ask anyone who has successfully performed CPR or delivered a baby. They will tell you what joy is.
5. Learn what to do. Attend classes offered by your local police, fire and EMS providers, the American Red Cross, local hospital, or other agencies. Professional rescuers rely on their training to keep their heads in an emergency. You can too.

Wool has been around forever and the benefits of wool are well known.It's natural and renewableIt provides temperature control when its hot or coldIt wicks and and stays dryHigh odor resistanceNothing compares with the comfort, resilience, wear-ability and versatility. We have taken wool to a higher level by pushing textile innovation, garment design and careful selection of quality raw materials. The first step in selecting the finest wool available. Our super fine Merino Wool is then made into very small micron diameter fibers to create the softest and most comfortable next to skin feel. Our final product does not have the "itchiness" that is commonly associated with ordinary wool fibers. Merino Wool is naturally odor resistant which means the bacteria that cause odor have a hard time adhering in the wool fibers. This factor combined with our S3® antimicrobial technology helps keep the garment fresh even after prolonged use. One of the most defining aspects of our Merino Wool, a renewable and sustainable fabric, is creating the most advanced high performance designs that are built to hunt. Our specific designs are made to integrate and compliment our other System Layers to provide the most comfortable and proper fit. It's down to the details of the zipper locations, zipper garages and other features that set us apart.

After the recent buff to Relic of Niuzao, is it a good entry level raiding trinket now?
I'm using a Brewfest one and Ghost Iron Dragonling at the moment.
It's better than Brewfest one for sure.
I'd prefer the Shado-Pan trinket or the Mogu'shan vaults trash-loot trinket tbh. And hey, I just made a cool 30k profit on that trinket

It's still on use dodge, and on use dodge will always be crap *shrug*
This was what I thought about Locktanking before Scumbag Greg took it away
Envý - Kult der Schattenflamme
stam is a a bit meh. dodge is a bit meh. still think it's a bit meh tbh.
just my 2c
im using the 3 cogwheel one, and the mastery with dodge on use atm. seems to work well.
It's definitely worth getting if you can get it cheap. Otherwise, I'd wait for better trinkets. Personally I'd rather wait for the Valor trinket than spend 45k on the Relic.
I've got it in my bank after picking it up for 12k. Probably going to try and resell it after the Faire for 30k. I'm using Brawler's reforged to mastery (can't get Heart of Fire to drop) and the dragonling.
So far I haven't seen any boss abilities that can burst me down from 484k HP buffed, not even Elegon breath (besides you can just use BoGx5 + WoG to heal that back), so I'm convinced double-stam isn't the way to go. At least until we get more points on our gear and can afford the luxury.

Yakima Hold-Up Plus2 Add-On

I bought the base holdup rack 3 or 4 years ago. Will the newer model plus 2 addon fit the older base?
Grant Kates
Different models
I just wanted to add a review to this item because there is an older picture that was posted (on the white Honda Odyssey) and it has the previous model year for the HoldUp Plus 2 rack. The older model was grey and black. The one we have for sale now is the current model and is all black. Slight difference but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Mike B.
Grant I assume it will still work on the older model it is just the "look"?

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great bike rack. Assembly and installation took about 20 minutes (after the 20 minutes it took to remove from the box. It's VERY well packaged). Stand alone, without the extension, it folds up very nicely with a small "footprint". Can't see the rack at all through my rear window. I leave this on my SUV all the time. With the +2 extension installed it's a beast....quite heavy and cumbersome to fold up and down. However, the extension is easy to install and remove for those occasions when you need to transport bikes 3 and 4.

Add on/ Extension
The add on/extension is very useful and solid. Never had a feeling it was ?unsafe? to place the bikes on the extension. A little hard to park if you already have a big car.
